AboutNowa Kultura presents itself as the intellectual and moral heir to the journal Kultura, carrying forward its critical rigor, European grounding, and commitment to serious reflection on contemporary issues.
The review places Poland at the center of its concerns—its history, culture, and intellectual life—while engaging in a structured dialogue with France and the French-speaking world, and remaining attentive to the cultural and political dynamics of Central and Eastern Europe.
Nowa Kultura aims to be a space for thought, analysis, and transmission. It welcomes demanding, readable, and rigorously argued contributions, seeking to connect the humanist tradition, intellectual responsibility, and a lucid understanding of the present.
Upcoming IssueIssue 1 — December 2026
