ER(R)GO is an international, bilingual, learned journal dedicated to problems of literary and cultural theory. Inspired by the intellectual achievement of the interdisciplinary seminar group functioning at the University of Silesia in Katowice under the same name, it fosters theoretical reflection upon essential problems of culture and the human within it. Er(r)go is a periodical focusing primarily upon the reflection upon the products of contemporary culture, including popular culture, with particular emphasis on critical theory and related problems. The areas of central importance to the journal include the analysis of phenomena impacting the shape and functioning of culture, the study of literary works, film, works of fine art and other products of culture, the insights into literary and cultural processes and factors conditioning their development, analyses of context determining such processes, as well as reflection upon the methodology of literary and cultural studies, analyses of tendencies manifest in the culture of today and their intellectual foundations, transformations of theoretical and methodological paradigms, studies in ethical and axiological frames within which literary and cultural currents and phenomena related thereto are located, literary-theoretical and culture studies oriented syntheses, as well as studies focusing upon the mutual relations between literature and philosophy as well as other disciplines within humanities and beyond. While Er(r)go puts particular emphasis on literary theoretical investigations, the important focus of the journal is upon the perceptions of the literary texts in relation to con/texts and pancultural processes. The mission of the journal is to bridge the areas traditionally covered by literary-critical and literary-theoretical periodicals and those profiled towards culture studies, and thereby to open a wide space of dialog in which these two broad disciplines can meet. The overall tenor of the journal should be described as interdisciplinary.
The Journal is financed from the Statute Research Fund of the Institute of Literary Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland. The journal does not charge any fees for publishing articles and is available free of charge in the Open Access Gold formula (READ MORE...)

The critique of patriarchy, prevalent in contemporary humanistic discourses, has relegated the notion of masculinity to the status of a historical anachronism identified with most of the dramas of the contemporary world, from corporate-military imperialism to objectification of women to environmental devastation. Fuelled by constantly reproduced media stereotypes, masculinity/manliness has become synonymous with innate aggression, programmatic dominance, perpetual competition, ubiquitous rationalism, and the relentless need for optimisation and efficiency legitimised by the measurable successes of the Western model of socio-technological existence. And when views that challenge masculine identity built on these stereotypes come to the fore, the identity in question is almost immediately perceived in terms of a new collocation - a crisis of masculinity and of manliness.

Even though ruins tend to tell complete stories and refer to destroyed worlds, they rarely function as domains of “void” or “lack.” On the contrary, ruins are vibrant places which actively distribute matter and meaning, and foster ample social and cultural imageries. Similarly, remnants, remains, rubbish, and rubble draw our attention to the uncanny everyday afterlife of objects. (Click here to read the whole CFP).
