Umjetnost Rijeci

Aims & Scope

The journal is funded by the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Youth of the Republic of Croatia.

The journal Umjetnost riječi was founded in 1957 and is the longest-running and leading Croatian periodical anchored in philology, with a well-established network of Europe-based scholars and researchers.

When it was launched, the journal published research papers, discussions, reviews, conference papers and annual bibliographies from the field of literary theory and literary history. 2006 saw the publication of a special issue with a complete bibliography of the journal (1957-2005) as well as a special double issue, both published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the journal.

No. 3-4 of the 2009 issue was dedicated to the so-called “Zagreb School of Thought”.

The members of this school, also known as the Zagreb Stylistic School, most notably Zdenko Škreb, Ivo Frangeš, Aleksandar Flaker and Viktor Žmegač, played a crucial role in the launching of the journal in the mid-1950s.

Around the end of 2012, the journal received a completely new editorial board that introduced several changes.

We introduced a new subheading to include theatre and film studies, which may be the biggest change in terms of the content, and we started publishing papers in English, as well as in Bosnian, Montenegrin and Serbian.

In the first six months of our work, we set up a data base with domestic and international reviewers, launched a bilingual website of the journal and provided a full access to past issues of the journal via the portal Hrcak: Portal of Scientific Journals of Croatia.

In the meantime we have expanded our European network with scholars from the Western Balkans, USA, Canada, Australia and Asia.

As a result, our authors and reviewers come from different continents.
