Romanica Silesiana is a discussion forum for Polish and foreign researchers in the field of literary studies and literary translation. Founded on the initiative of prof. Krzysztof Jarosz in 2006 (editor-in-chief until 2017) as a yearly, the journal has been published semi-annually since 2018. Each issue of the journal focuses on a topic or a  problem specified by the editor and related to French and Spanish-language literatures, and Italian literature. Still, the topics are not limited to the above-mentioned ones. The thematic diversity is thus enriched by the multilingualism of the published articles.

The aim of the editorial team of the journal is to publish on time the best works by respected Polish and foreign researchers. High quality of the published articles is ensured by our reviewers (who are selected each time, depending on the subject matter of the text), who are recognized experts in the field of literary studies. Many of them are foreign scholars. Thanks to the best reviewers and authors, the journal will be included in a reputable scholarly circle and will enter scholarly circulation for good. Another goal of the editorial team is to expand the Editorial Board to include outstanding specialists of established reputation, constantly confirmed by the number of articles and citations.

A permanent section is "the studies" (études), within which thematic groups may be distinguished, if it is so required in an issue of the journal. All the published articles are peer-reviewed. Moreover, there may be two additional sections: Reviews of published critical texts (Comptes rendus) and Varia (publications in this section are also subject to review).
