Articles are the most traditional format of the journal. Articles must be no longer than 7,000 words (including references, notes, summary and abstract) and may contain no more than 3 images.
Essays
Essays refer to written contributions (which may include images) aimed at reflective discussion and not necessarily based on empirical research projects. As such, they follow criteria that take into account knowledge of the ‘state of the art’ in a given field, as well as the contribution that the author’s reflection can make to the academic debate. In this case, a more personal, exploratory and even speculative tone is allowed, as long as it is rigorously supported by a solid theoretical and experiential corpus. Maximum 5,000 words and 2 images.
(Audio)visual essays and Ethno-arts
(Audio)visual essays: Format that combines written text and visual/audiovisual content. In this case, the structure is close to that of a conventional written article, but there is a closer dialogue with images. Photo essays can contain a maximum of 15 photographs, presented in an image gallery. They must be accompanied by a text that contextualises the photographic work and gives a broader idea of the vision and methodology of the researcher/photographer (up to 4,000 words).
Ethno-arts are (a) works that do not fit into the traditional formats of the social sciences and that aim to reflect on issues relevant to the social sciences through experimental approaches, or (b) artistic projects that in some way articulate with the objects and themes of anthropology and ethnography. Maximum 4,000 words and 5 images.
Reviews and Critical Analyses
Reviews are texts that critically discuss other publications, such as books, articles, films within the social sciences, with the aim of placing the works under review in the context of the ‘state of the art’ in their respective fields.
We also welcome critical analyses of different artistic content (audiovisual, multimedia, exhibitions, performances, etc.) produced within an anthropological/sociological or ethnographic framework. The analyses should seek to reflect on the content, processes and methodologies employed, as well as their implications for the social sciences. Submissions must relate to artistic content that is publicly available.
Submissions may contain a maximum of 3,000 words and 3 images (including bibliographical references and notes).
Field diaries and Interviews
Field diaries are extracts of notes taken by the researcher in the field. They must be accompanied by a contextualising text and contain a maximum of 3,000 words.
In this section we also accept interviews that have been conducted and are of interest to the objectives and themes developed by Cadernos de Arte e Antropologia. In this context, we consider particularly relevant interviews with academics or artists of recognised merit whose work is characterised by a dialogue between art and anthropology. The transcribed interview should be accompanied by a short introductory text introducing the interviewee, contextualising their work and justifying its importance for the field of study in question. Maximum 3,000 words.
