New publication: Latin American Perspectives: A State of the Debate
Open convocatory
CLACSO and Siglo XXI Editores México jointly launch the collection Latin American Perspectives: A State of the Debate.
Since its founding in 1967, CLACSO has made a continuous contribution, through numerous initiatives, to the development of the Social Sciences and Humanities in Latin America and the Caribbean. By organizing dynamic and effective academic groups and networks, the Council has facilitated the exchange of knowledge, prioritizing research produced in the region across multiple fields.
The Council has promoted Latin American and Caribbean thought, highlighting both its most original features and its contributions to universal knowledge from a critical perspective, situated in the Global South and committed to democratic social transformations. Its publications and open access program has been one of the channels through which researchers, intellectuals, and academics from the region have developed and published the results of their work, reflections, and research, making substantial contributions in numerous fields of knowledge.
Siglo XXI Editores— founded in Mexico fifty years ago—is one of the most prestigious publishing houses on the continent, built on a rich and extensive catalog with a special emphasis on publications in the Social Sciences and Humanities. Its books have not only brought new ideas, making the best of critical thought traditions available to hundreds of thousands of readers across the continent; they have also served as a mirror in which we can see ourselves and reflect as a region, following the founding principles of its founder, Arnaldo Orfila Reynal: the highest academic rigor, appealing to the intelligence of its readers.
In recent times, fields of knowledge have undergone numerous transformations, both in their methods of producing and communicating ideas and reflections, and in the ways in which research objects are constructed and approaches to their study are developed. Being able to account for these changes, build critical reflection on them, and generate new approaches from a regional perspective is a task as essential as it is challenging for the current development of knowledge.
The Executive Secretariat of CLACSO and Siglo XXI Editores México are promoting a new publishing project, which seeks to highlight the theoretical and methodological contributions made by academics from Latin America and the Caribbean, reflecting the current state of the debate in multiple fields of Social Sciences and Humanities.
Deadline for submitting proposals: June 30, 2020
