Bodies, genders and writings in Latin America
Vol. 7 No. 7 (2025)In this dossier, we are interested in exploring the relationships of co-implication and juxtaposition of three fundamental categories for understanding current debates in the field of social sciences and humanities: bodies, genders, and writings. From the intersection of theoretical developments in feminist studies, postcolonial critique, and literary criticism, we understand writing as a particular type of political and epistemological work in which the body, diverse forms of self-perception, and the repertoire of what can be said in a given conjuncture intervene (and negotiate positions). In this sense, we agree with Val Flores when she points out that “[…] writing leads a search at the margins, in the interstices where practices and knowledge merge, to find there, where everything is still to be invented, the strength to disenchant ourselves with this world landscape and to unsettle what is solidified, silenced, and made invisible” (Flores, 2009, p. 13). It is also important to point out that our reflections are strategically situated from the unique historical, political, and epistemological perspective of Latin America as a territory marked by the traces of colonialism, economic dependence, and the emancipatory struggles that are fought out every day.

Centenary of the Russian Revolution
Vol. 2 No. 2 (2018)A little more than a centenary of the Russian Revolution, and in connection with it, the proposal of the dossier that we present here emerged, with the aim of making contributions and opening the game to the discussion regarding the first socialist government in history, the mass emancipation of millions of workers who put an end to capitalist despotism, and the historical development of this process. For this reason, and without forgetting other anniversaries which in the course of this year directly concern us and which, of necessity, will be discussed in another edition (French May, University Reform), in this edition we have fulfilled the task of presenting some ideas regarding the centenary of the Russian Revolution.
