  • Galicja. Studia i materiały

    The purpose and the scope of the journal. The journal Galicja. Studia i materiały [Galicia. Studies and Materials] was established at the Institute of History of the University of Rzeszów in 2015. The yearly journal meets the needs of the international community of researchers focused on the history of the former Polish lands of the Austrian partition from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. It is a region where the representatives of the nations of the former Austrian monarchy (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Hungarians, Germans, Ukrainians) lived or manifested their activity, which is why the multicultural specificity of this area today constitutes the identity of the modern states located there (Poland, Ukraine).
    Galicja. Studia i materiały is a peer-reviewed journal on the history of Austrian Galicia (1772-1918). The journal publishes monographic articles, materials, editions of sources, book reviews and reports on events related to the history of Galicia. Individual volumes have an interdisciplinary character. The journal accepts texts from the fields of history, philosophy, literature, art, culture and religion. We pay special attention to the problems of socio-economic history, history of mentality, history of women, history of historiography, history of philosophy and history of religion.

    The journal “Galicja. Studia i materiały” is included in the list of ranked academic journals prepared by MNiSW [Ministry of Science and Higher Education] – it has 70 points.

  • Musica Galiciana. Kultura muzyczna Galicji w kontekście stosunków polsko-ukraińskich

    Musica Galiciana. Kultura muzyczna Galicji w kontekście stosunków polsko-ukraińskich to jedyna na polskim rynku wydawniczym seria wydawnicza poświęcona dziejom bogatego życia muzycznego obszaru byłej prowincji monarchii habsburskiej i jej wieloetnicznemu dziedzictwu widzianemu z perspektywy uwikłanych w historię tego regionu narodów. Ukazujące się w ramach serii monografie wieloautorskie są pokłosiem odbywających się cyklicznie od ponad 25 lat na terenie Polski (Rzeszów) i Ukrainy (Iwano-Frankiwsk, Drohobycz, Lwów, Kołomyja) międzynarodowych konferencji naukowych „Musica Galiciana”. Stanowią one swego rodzaju platformę dyskusji, wyznaczającą nowe kierunki i perspektywy badawcze nad mało zbadaną dotychczas problematyką rozwoju i kształtowania tradycji muzycznych terenu dawnej Galicji, służą budowaniu kontaktów, wymianie wiedzy, poglądów i współpracy między środowiskiem naukowym w kraju i za granicą. Wśród wydanych dotychczas w ramach serii wydawniczej tomów, prezentujących wyniki badań przeprowadzonych przez naukowców z Polski, Ukrainy, Niemiec, Izraela i Stanów Zjednoczonych, opublikowane zostały tomy tematyczne, których problematyka koncentruje się wokół głównego zagadnienia, np. działalności teatru muzycznego we Lwowie (2003, t. 7), dokonań i roli kobiet w rozwoju życia muzycznego Galicji (2019, t. 16) czy postaci Fryderyka Chopina (2012, t. 13 ) i jego ucznia Karola Mikulego (2021, t. 17) .

  • Muzyka w Kontekście Pedagogicznym, Społecznym i Kulturowym

    The journal "Music in the Pedagogical, Social and Cultural Context" was created by transforming the previous publishing series Music in the Pedagogical, Social and Cultural Context into an annual. Studies and Sketches edited by Ewa Nidecka and Jolanta Wąsacz-Krztoń, Rzeszów University Press.

    The situation on the Polish publishing market and the need to create a journal with such a profile determined the decision made by the editorial office. Apart from changing the frequency of publication and meeting the requirements for periodicals, the thematic scope remains unchanged. We therefore hope that not only the group of authors willing to publish in our journal will increase, but also the group of readers who are close to topics related to music and all issues arising at the interface of related disciplines.

    The journal has a broad thematic formula, which includes multi-dimensional issues related to music, its pedagogical, social and cultural aspects. They are characterized by interdisciplinarity, which translates into the diversity of approaches to the issues discussed. The research area therefore includes various aspects of broadly understood knowledge about music, starting from the issues of music education, through the role of music in society and shaping civic and civilizational awareness. In addition, the reader will find here philosophical and aesthetic contexts of music, sketches by outstanding teachers and artists, and interpretations of selected musical works. Such a broad pedagogical, psychological, ethnomusicological, cultural and historical-analytical perspective provides an impulse to explore still unexplored topics and various contexts of musical arts.

We are primarily interested in studies that integrate methods from stylistics, semantics, pragmatics, cultural linguistics, media linguistics, and comparative linguistics. Our goal is to develop and deepen linguistic theories and methods in the field of text and discourse linguistics, thereby fostering cooperation among linguists representing various philological traditions in Poland and abroad.

    The annual journal tekst i dyskurs – text und diskurs has been published since 2008. It was created through cooperation among textologists, mediolinguists, and communication scholars. It is a joint project of the Institute of German Studies at the University of Warsaw and the Institute of Applied Linguistics at the University of Rzeszów in Poland.

  • TRANSBORDER ECONOMICS. International Journal on Transborder Economics, Finance, Politics and Statistics.

    Transborder processes are playing an increasingly important role in the economic development in many countries and regions of the global world driven by large-scale interventionism. Multiple examples of international and regional cooperation prove that development of the regions located close to the countries’ borderlines cannot be explained using theoretical approaches, analytical methods and statistical tools of “traditional” macroeconomics and regional economics. Moreover, the facts of globalization, liberalization of international trade, technological cooperation and political initiatives, common research and infrastructural project have given rise to a new type of economic system, i.e. transborder economy, in many parts of the world.

    Unconstrained by the administratively imposed borders, the diffusion of social and economic processes between countries is extensive; they in turn become a key determinant for economic development in the neighbouring areas of countries that have liberalized their residents’ mobility across the borders. These processes of liberalization have advanced in many regions of the world, especially in Europe and the Americas. Furthermore, even the regions with strict formal border control have frequently developed and allowed some degree of economic freedom with regard to e.g. tourism, trade of goods, labour market, use of infrastructure, and development of environmental projects for the sake of the local economies and residents on the both sides of the border.

    In this context, in many parts of the world, the idea of a national economy as an economic and social system seems outdated. Macroeconomics and official statistics, however, appear to underrate this fact both in theoretical considerations, methodological researches and empirical analyses. The lack of understanding of the fact may lead to erroneous macroeconomic decisions of governments. The price of these political errors caused by theoretical, methodological and empirical gaps is paid by all of us – individuals, households, and entrepreneurs operating in transborder environment. Hence, we can observe a rising number of contributions defining transborder economies as specific socio-economic systems have elaborated; they aim at development of theoretical foundations of transborder economics, elucidation of its methodological approaches and statistical analysis, examination of its historical and cultural environment and background simultaneously revealing a vast diversity of issues for current and prospective empirical studies.

    In the light of the rising interest in the above concerns there is a need to create an open forum for scientists and practitioners involved in research and pragmatics of transborder economies. Filling in the gap on the editorial market, the international journal of TRANSBORDER ECONOMICS aims to provide a forum for discussion for all scientists and practitioners who are keen to observe the significance of transborder economies, complexity of the processes and diversity of transborder issues. The journal is open for all authors who are willing to contribute to the development of this new economic discipline.
