Picks of 2025

10 articles

As 2025 draws to an end, we offer you our top 10 articles of the year. As a reflection of the debates characterising the European public sphere at the end of the first quartile of the 21st century, the list is necessarily impressionistic. It is certainly partial. But what it does truthfully represent, we think, is the quality and diversity of the European cultural journals sector.

Crises tend to correlate with intense literary activity, but not necessarily with perspicacity. We believe clearsightedness is in abundance in the selection below – and indeed in all the articles Eurozine has had the privilege to publish in the past year. But you, dear reader, must be the judge of that.

Thank you for following Eurozine in 2025. Your interest proves the importance of the kind of intercultural and multilingual publication endeavour that Eurozine is. We look forward to providing you with the latest content from independent cultural journals across Europe and beyond in 2026.
