CROLAR invites to contribute with reviews of empirical research, surveys and essays dealing with the relationships of Intellectual and Cultural Production and Political Power in Latin America. It is our aim to receive contributions elaborated from different disciplinary perspectives (social sciences, arts and humanities, public policies, cultural production and management,and many others) as well as diverse conceptual strategies (historical-intellectual reconstruction, cultural critique, decolonizing and cosmopolitical epistemologies, keynote intellectuals monographs, etc).
In this volume, we also welcome the elaboration of Review Essays about particular thematic nucleuses. Review Essays must comprehend between 3 and 5 books published on recent and relevant debates. Some topics that might be incorporated into this section are:
- Power, the left, and intellectual production in Latin America
- New indigenous intellectual currents: power and counterpower
- Cultural production and accumulation of capital: Latin American strategies of representation
- Local elites, transnational networks, and cultural production and circulation
- Latin American currents and schools of thought
- Coloniality and power in the Latin American cultural production
Moreover, we are also interested in reviews of works that transcend academic boundaries, such as those based on journalism, think tanks, activist groups, artistic fields, and so forth, all of which will be published in the section Interventions of the journal. Regarding this section, we suggest the contributors to write on projects like documentary films, blogs, websites and artistic projects, that is, works that are not in book formats.
The deadline for the reception of collaborations is September 30, 2017. The reviews can be written in Spanish, English, Portuguese or German. Ideally, the review shall be written in a language different from the one of the reviewed work or project.
We look forward to reading your proposal! If you are interested in writing a review, or you have some suggestion or question, please get in touch with the volume’s editors: Felipe Lagos (felipe.lagos.r@gmail.com) and Luis Emilio Martínez (luisemilio78@zedat.fu-berlin.de).
