Polja ( Serbian : fields; Serbian-Cyrillic : поља) is a Serbian literary magazine.

Polja is a literary magazine on contemporary literature and literary theory (Časopis za književnost i teoriju; Часопис за књижевност и теорију), which has been published by the Novi Sad Cultural Center since 1955 . The magazine was created in the Forum Junge Tribüne (Tribina mladih) of the cultural center, and over the decades of its existence, a large number of young artists and intellectuals in particular have shaped its content profile. The thematic focus, including the quality of its content, is the compilation of texts by contemporary domestic and foreign authors that generate or reflect innovative areas of tension on contemporary cultural-political issues. Some texts by foreign authors were published in Serbian for the first time in the magazine, many representatives of the ethnic minorities of Vojvodina are represented among the domestic authors , and numerous texts by modern authors of the early 20th century contrast the content. The spectrum of published texts by German-speaking authors ranges from Franz Werfel , WG Sebald , Helmut Heißenbüttel , Alfred Andersch to Peter Handke and a few more. Among the many members of her editorial history are personalities such as László Végel (1969–70), Julijan Tamaš (1974–76 and 1981–82), Jovan Delić (1980–82) and Sonja Veselinović (since 2007), editors-in-chief were the Poet and publicist Jovan Zivlak (1976–84), of whom three volumes of poetry have been published in German translation, and the writer Laslo Blašković . The literary critic, poet and translator Alen Bešić has been editor-in-chief since 2007.

In 2020, a German-language special edition of the literary magazine with texts by young Serbian authors was published for the first time as part of a symposium of the EU Art Network .
