OBSCURA - a history journal
OBSCURA is a journal published by the students of the Institute of History at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University. It has been published once a year since 2014 and focuses on publishing both scholarly and popularizing texts that explore various aspects of historical sciences, art history, archaeology, pedagogy, political science, and other fields. The journal’s main goal is to provide young researchers with a platform where they can try out the publication process in a scholarly or popularizing periodical.
