We are pleased to share with you the new issue of our Journal. It includes seven academic articles, one reflection and three artworks. In this edition, we reflect on the origins of Costa Rican community public art, the different creative processes of public art, the representations of homosexual desire and hegemonic male bodies, and the representation of Maori body marking in filmic texts.
In the area of art as a profession, papers are presented that relate the emergence of the Cultural Management career at the University of Costa Rica, how the discipline of Graphic Design has evolved in the last 30 years and that share new methodologies for the teaching of dramaturgy.
In the other sections, we address social issues, such as the movement of an Argentine community and the struggle against mining zoning, toxic masculinity and its effect on women, and social precariousness, homelessness and hunger, from a more artistic and creative perspective.
We hope you find this issue useful.
