https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades <p>The Revista <em>humanidades</em> is an international electronic publication, edited by the Escuela de Estudios Generales and in collaboration with the Sistema Editorial y de Difusión de la Investigación (SIEDIN), located at the Rodrigo Facio University City, in San Pedro de Montes de Oca, San José, Costa Rica. Its <strong>periodicity</strong> is biannual: its first issue covers the months of January to June and the second issue covers the months of July to December.</p> <p><strong>E-mail address: </strong>humanidades@ucr.ac.cr</p> <p><strong>P.O. Box:</strong> 11501-2060.</p> <p>The Revista <em>humanidades</em> <strong>aims</strong> to disseminate academic production and research in the field of humanistic, scientific and artistic studies, as well as to promote reflection on general studies that have as a transversal axis or thematic coverage human beings in their work and thinking. In this way, it seeks to become a space that encourages interest in the construction that humanity makes of itself.</p> <p>The <strong>target audience</strong> is constituted by the international community of researchers, undergraduate and graduate students and scholars (scientists or artists) interested in a permanent or specific way in the topics and approaches of humanistic studies.</p> <p>It is a peer-reviewed, peer-reviewed, open access journal of articles in English, Spanish and Portuguese. This journal <strong>does not charge</strong> for receiving, processing or publishing articles (APC).</p> <h3 class="NoteLevel10"><strong>The Field of Humanities and Multidisciplinarity</strong></h3> <p>The Revista <em>humanidades</em> structures its sections on the premise that human beings are a reality made up of a set of diverse and complex relationships that they establish among themselves, interactions that, despite their dynamic and constantly changing nature, can nevertheless be classified into three types that encompass all human relationships:</p> <ol> <li>relations with nature</li> <li>relations with other human beings</li> <li>relations with oneself.</li> </ol> <p>However, given that this classification of human relations does not respond to the academic division of knowledge with which current knowledge is produced, it is not convenient to take this classification as sections. Rather, these relations should be considered as a plexus that crosses, not vertically but horizontally, each article within each section of the journal. The latter follows the current segmentation of knowledge, but only as a starting point, in order to arrive at the production of new approaches that transcend the current fragmentation of hyper-specialized knowledge that mutilates, or even makes invisible, the human which, in the end, will always be transcendent, irreducible and ungraspable in its totality, since none of its manifestations has the capacity to exhaust it.</p> <p><strong>OAI-PMH URL: </strong>https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/oai</p> <p> </p> <div> <h3 class="NoteLevel10"><strong>Sponsored Journals</strong></h3> </div> <div><strong> </strong></div> <div><a href="https://sophia.ups.edu.ec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/public/site/images/directorhumanidades/Sophia_peque%C3%B1as_1.png" alt="" /></a><a href="http://institucional.us.es/araucaria/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/public/site/images/directorhumanidades/Araucaria_peque%C3%B1as.png" alt="" /></a></div> <div><a href="http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/co-herencia" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/public/site/images/directorhumanidades/Coherencia_peque%C3%B1as1.png" alt="" /></a><a href="https://universitas.ups.edu.ec/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/public/site/images/directorhumanidades/Umiversitas_peque%C3%B1as.png" alt="" /></a><a href="https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/Epistemus" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/public/site/images/directorhumanidades/Epistemus_peque%C3%B1as.png" alt="" /></a><a href="https://revistas.unlp.edu.ar/RPSEUNLP" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/public/site/images/directorhumanidades/Rev_Psi_peque%C3%B1as.png" alt="" /></a></div> es-ES https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/announcement/view/625 <p>Revista&nbsp;<em>humanidades&nbsp;</em>of the University of Costa Rica invites&nbsp;<strong>national and international scholars and researchers</strong>&nbsp;in the field of Humanities (Philosophy, Education, Social Sciences, Literature, Ethnic Studies, History, Sociology, Language and Communication Sciences) to send their proposals&nbsp;<strong>for original and unpublished articles, essays and literature reviews</strong>.<br><br><strong>Start date:</strong> February 14th, 2025<br><br><strong>End date:</strong> May 14th, 2025<br><br>All submissions sent after these dates will start their&nbsp;editorial processes next semester.<br><br>The publication rules can be consulted in detail at:&nbsp;<a href="https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/about/submissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/about/submissions&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1739907238792000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2q-aEnEQvI0l4R-0GK26E9">https://revistas.ucr.ac.<wbr>cr/index.php/humanidades/<wbr>about/submissions</a></p> Revista humanidades 2025-02-17 https://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/humanidades/announcement/view/623 <p>We are pleased to begin this new year with the publication of issue 15(1), one of the largest and most diverse editions we have published in recent years.
