“Etnografia Nowa” is a multidisciplinary, Polish-language journal dedicated to ethnology, cultural anthropology, folklore studies, museology, and the history of these disciplines.
We invite contributions from authors affiliated with academic centres and cultural institutions, primarily from Poland. However, the themes discussed go beyond the boundaries of Polish scholarship, engaging with issues addressed in global humanities and relating to cultures around the world. For this reason, the journal may also be of interest to researchers outside Poland.
“Etnografia Nowa” has been published annually since 2009. Since 2022, it has been a peer-reviewed journal. The current editorial format and graphic design have been in use since issue 12 (2023). The print edition is the journal’s reference version.
The publisher of “Etnografia Nowa” is the State Museum of Ethnography in Warsaw, organised by the Mazovian Voivodeship Government. The publication of the journal is financed through the publisher’s institutional subsidy.
The journal is divided into two main sections.
The first section is devoted to the issue’s thematic focus. It contains peer-reviewed academic articles that include all elements essential to scholarly publications:
- title, abstract, and keywords in Polish and English,
- ORCID number and author biography,
- bibliography (list of sources used),
- information about the peer-review process.
This section may also include non-peer-reviewed articles, provided they relate to the central theme of the issue.
In the second section, the journal features informational texts, reports, interviews, polemics, reviews, and other contributions relating to the Museum’s activities, as well as a wide range of topics in ethnology, cultural anthropology, folklore studies, museology, and the history of these disciplines.
