JOURNAL
Guidelines for prospective contributors:
Concreta welcomes the submission of original papers. Texts may be submitted in any of the official languages, as well as in Portuguese, English, French or Italian. If selected by the editorial team, they will be translated into Spanish for the print edition of the journal. Publication implies acceptance of a Creative Commons “Attribution-NoDerivatives (by-nd)” licence. Submissions must be previously unpublished and, if selected, will be remunerated with a variable fee depending on the section of the journal in which they appear.
Submission requirements:
Concreta requires that contributions respond to the specific themes and conceptual frameworks established by the editorial team for each issue. Concreta 27 delves into practices that reconfigure the cultural institution at a moment of radical crisis. The issue proposes a reflection grounded in lived experiences that lay bare tensions and ways of making community beyond exhausted models, shifting away from paralysing or moralising diagnoses towards transformative strategies. In the face of authoritarian discourses, a present shaped by disinformation and structural violence, which constricts the field of the possible, we propose to investigate infrastructural logics capable of sustaining other forms of life, coexistence and collective creation.
Interested authors should email info@editorialconcreta.org with the subject line “Submission of original work”. Please include the title of the proposal, a summary (500 words), contact details (telephone and email), and a short biography. The full text should also be submitted, with an approximate length of 3,000 words, along with any accompanying images (including publication rights), noting that images will be printed in greyscale. The deadline for submissions is 15 March 2026. Selected contributors will be notified on 1 April.
Review process and data protection:
Concreta is committed to a rigorous and transparent review process. All personal data provided by authors will be used exclusively for the purposes outlined above.
Image connected to a future contribution which, taking the cultural apotheosis surrounding Rosalía as its point of departure, explores collective practices ranging from flamenco to mysticism that place dominant cultural models under tension and make it possible to think through common infrastructures—always provisional—capable of sustaining other forms of community, symbolic production and shared life in a context of radical crisis.
