> Focus and Scope

Políticas de la Memoria organizes its content into thematic dossiers in order to articulate a set of original peer-reviewed researches around a core of historiographical issues. The researches are thus articulated with other types of interventions, such as document recovery, interviews with specialists, and/or translations into Spanish of reference texts. For this reason, each dossier clearly establishes which articles are peer-reviewed and when other types of texts are included.

Section Policies

In addition to these research dossiers, throughout its issues, Políticas de la Memoria develops fixed sections linked to different CeDInCI research programs:

- Section Instantáneas: editorial texts of the journal. These are non-peer-reviewed intervention texts which, unless otherwise stated, are signed by members of the editorial committee with their initials.

- Section History of the Book and Publishing: works that study the production, circulation, reception, and reading circuit, in order to approach the complex mediation processes of editors, writers, printers, typographers, booksellers, distributors, critics, activists, readers, and other agents.

- Section Sex and Revolution: studies and debates about the relationship between women's movements, feminisms, and sex-gender activism with the left in all its expressions.

- Section Research on Anarchisms: interdisciplinary perspectives focused on self-managed movements.

- Section European Intellectual History "in Tribute to José Sazbón": methodological and historical works on cultural production.

- Section Critical Reviews: bibliographic reviews evaluated by the Editorial Committee that seek to avoid the chain of benevolent comments and mere summaries of books, in order to promote debates in the contemporary academic space. Therefore, although the section is also open to collaborations, it mainly relies on texts requested by the Editorial Committee to obtain opinions from specialists deemed important for engaging in productive discussions about editorial novelties.

Políticas de la Memoria accepts contributions to be considered as peer-reviewed articles throughout the year. Its editorial committee will only submit original articles that have not appeared in other printed or online media, and that are not under evaluation or editing in another publication. If interested in collaborating with the journal, see the Submissions section.
