About
Kultura i Społeczeństwo is a quarterly published continuously by the Polish Academy of Sciences ever since 1957. The journal was established at the time of a revival of Polish Sociology in the post‑Stalin period. It has become a journal which incorporates both the achievements of the most prominent, internationally recognized scientists in the field, and first and foremost its Editors‐in‐Chief, namely Józef Chałasiński (1957‐1959 and 1967‐1979), Stefan Żółkiewski (1960‐1966), Antonina Kłoskowska (1983‐2001) and Elżbieta Tarkowska (2001‐2016) and current achievements.
Currently the journal is published jointly by the Committee on Sociology, PAS and the Institute of Political Studies, PAS. The present Editorial Board endeavors to persevere the existing thematic approach by accepting multidisciplinary contributions. The journal publishes theoretical and empirical research in the fields of sociology, anthropology, social thought, cultural studies.
