The aim a new scientific journal titled „Paidia and Literature” is to present a broad view of polish and foreign children’s and youth literature seen from a perspective of contemporary trends in humanities, that can be incorporated into a theoretical and critical toolset used for non-adult literature research. The articles published in the annual journal focus on issues not only related to present-day children’s and youth literature/(pop)culture, but also on the classic texts of the genre perceived through diversity of ideas vibrant in modern approach to humanities. It is expected that the articles’ scope of topics will incorporate issues from non-adult literature field into modern humanistic research, and – regarding to its canon – will revitalize its educational value, while presenting problems present in the modern era (which scale and intensity can not be ignored by the education system) through the non-canonic works.
