Disparidades. Revista de Antropología

Disparidades. Revista de Antropología is a scientific journal published by the CSIC. It is edited in the Department of Anthropology at the Instituto de Lengua, Literatura y Antropología of the Centro de Ciencias Humanas y Sociales (CCHS). The journal continues the path established by Revista de Dialectología y Tradiciones Populares (1944-2018), the oldest of the Spanish periodicals dedicated to social and cultural anthropology. Aimed at an international readership specialized in this discipline, it is currently a publication that values innovative contributions in anthropological research, understood in a broad and plural theoretical and methodological sense.

The journal publishes original articles that, in addition to contributing to anthropological knowledge, enrich the critical debate among researchers, with special attention to theoretical and methodological contributions and field ethnography.

Every issue contains a section entitled “Articles”, while alternate issues include the "Emerging themes" and "Cartographies" sections. The journal also includes several sections that will be published sporadically: "En pocas palabras", "Fuentes y testimonios", "En tierra de nadie", "Tientos bibliográficos" and "Notas de libros".

Disparidades. Revista de Antropología considers ethnography as an "emergent" and "dense" process in which feedback dynamics are established between theory and practice, between reality and text, between research designs and changing situations, between field scenarios and application of research techniques, between the position of the researcher and that of the informants, between researchers and the audiences of their texts. Therefore, from a commitment to public engagement, we give priority to texts that contribute to charting the field of anthropology in the present and the future. In this sense, the journal publishes articles that (a) are anchored in ethnographic fieldwork, from local studies to cyberspace, incorporating from classical to the most innovative methods; (b) develop solid and updated theoretical frameworks to understand and interpret empirical data in a globalizing and comparative framework; and (c) take risks and are capable of opening or outlining new horizons for the discipline, always applying high standards of theoretical and methodological rigor.

Disparidades. Revista de Antropología, founded in 1945 as Revista de Dialectología y Tradiciones Populares, is available online since 2007 in PDF format, maintaining its printed edition until 2019. That same year it acquired its current title and became an electronic journal, publishing in PDF, HTML, and XML-JATS formats. The previous contents are also available in PDF format.
