Gre za uveljavljeno družboslovno in humanistično revijo, ki jo je v času študentskih nemirov v začetku sedemdesetih let ustanovila skupina radikalnih študentov in mlajših intelektualcev z namenom, da odprejo teoretski forum, kjer bo lahko nastopala tista znanost, ki se hoče oblikovati v toku refleksije najaktualnejših družbenih gibanj. Revija je danes zavezana kritični obravnavi radikalnih pristop
ov in teorij družbenih gibanj in alternativnih političnih praks, socialno-ekoloških vprašanj, kulturnih študij in študij spola, znanstveno-tehnoloških sprememb, medijskih in komunikacijskih teorij, rizičnih tehnologij, socialno-pedagoških tem, marginalnosti, odvisnosti, hendikepiranosti itd., ki so jih obravnavali domači in tuji avtorji različnih strok. Prav razvijanje transdisciplinarnosti pri obravnavi različnih družbenih fenomenov je temelj uredniške politike. Uredništvo in avtorji uporabljajo in premišljujejo tako klasične kot sodobne teoretske koncepte, poleg tega prevajajo tekste, pišejo recenzije in intervenirajo v javni prostor.

Journal for the Critique of Science, Imagination, and New Anthropology (i.e. Časopis za kritiko znanosti, domišljijo in novo antropologijo) is the oldest publication of the Beletrina Academic Press. In its 40 years of continuous publishing, and in its more than 250 issues, ČKZ has introduced its Slovene and international readership to a multitude of various social and humanistic topics. Over the years, ČKZ has become an indispensable part of Slovene academic life and articles published in the Journal are seen as forming a canonical scientific-academic literature. The editorial board consists of an interdisciplinary collective of scientists and researchers working in the fields that are covered by the journal, which include, but are not limited to: political sciences, philosophy, sociology, literary, cultural and postcolonial studies, as well as ecology, new social movements, feminism, queer theory, film theory, and critical media and communication studies.
Časopis za kritiko znanosti ČKZ is aimed at a critical scientific analysis of different scientific fields, as well as critiques of dominant scientific methodologies, theories and discourses. Where necessary, such critiques can also entail broadening the actual discursive limits to what is otherwise understood as standard academic writing, thus allowing arguments to be conducted within other styles, genres and forms.
ČKZ also fosters specific methodological and editorial collaboration between already established academics and emerging ones. Occasional guest editors allow ČKZ to develop further empirical research and deepen interdisciplinary approaches between the social, humanistic and natural sciences.
