estrema: interdisciplinary journal of humanities is a digital and open-access journal from the Centre for Comparative Studies (CEComp) at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon (FLUL). Its aim is to provide a platform for academic publication, dissemination, and debate for all students of national or international higher education, as well as other interested authors. Interdisciplinarity places estrema at the intersections and thresholds of the Humanities, where new scientific frontiers emerge through a comparative methodology. Therefore, submissions addressing themes and/or cultural or artistic objects in dialogue with the Humanities are welcome. All published articles undergo a process of double-blind peer review.
Frequency
estrema publishes one issue per year. Occasionally, the Editorial Team may contemplate one extra issue.
Sections and Editorial Policy
estrema includes the regular publication of articles and critical reviews, with the possibility of expanding its scope to include interviews, translations, and/or other elements exceptionally and when applicable to the editorial purposes of a specific issue. Each issue of the journal is directly related to a specific call for papers, detailing the thematic framework and scope of the submissions.
Articles from any national or international higher education student, as well as from other interested authors and researchers, will be considered if they fall within any of the scientific areas corresponding to the current curriculum of FLUL. In line with the interdisciplinary and comparative nature of the journal, articles reflecting on cultural, artistic, or textual objects from the following areas of knowledge will also be considered: Anthropology, Education Sciences, Medical Sciences, Musical Sciences, Political Sciences, Law, Economics, Geography, Psychoanalysis, Psychology, Sociology, Theology, Gender Studies, Geocriticism, Ecocriticism, and related areas, among others. estrema accepts submissions only during the period established by its call(s) for papers. All submissions that do not comply with formatting guidelines and/or are made outside the scope of a call for papers will not be accepted.
