About the Journal

Focus and Scope

In the current journal of philosophy there is no forum for discussion and dissemination of attempts to update the Critical Theory in Ibero-America. This prompted us to set up a meeting and discussion between those who believe that critical theory has something significant to contribute to the task of unraveling the social, cultural and political situation.

In the areas of Social Sciences, Cinema, Audiovisual Communication, Art Criticism, Cultural Criticism, Aesthetics and Art Theory, Ethics and Moral Philosophy and Politics, Philosophy, Art History, History and Theory of Education, Music, Politics, Sociology, Theory of Literature, etc.. witnessing an intensification of dialogue with representatives of a tradition of thought that, in times of deep crisis and an unprecedented dimming historical horizon, became a radical critique and intellectual responsibility indispensable critical theory in a form of praxis social consistent with those times. Such criticism is inspiring some current attempts to deal responsibly theoretical and practical challenges of this, which this magazine aims to host.

We do not intend to feed any orthodoxy or succumbing to the enchantment of the alleged disputes between heirs, legitimate or not, some thinkers raised against his will to philosophical pantheon. We seek to join forces so far isolated theorists who work in this area, help provide visibility within the general philosophical production, contributing to strengthen the continuity of debate and exchange, as has occurred has been immensely fruitful, and organize and promote discussions on current and relevance of critical theory to decipher the present and the economic, political or ideological society.

The magazine editors wish to emphasize the connection between social theory, cultural theory and theory of subjectivity, a constellation that has characterized it since its origins in critical theory and which continues to the present. Only from such a constellation and as a specific self-reflection can now continue to demand philosophy.

Journal History

La revista nació después del congreso El pensamiento de Th. W. Adorno: balance y perspectivas, celebrado en Palma de Mallorca (España) durante tres días a principios de mayo de 2006. Los resultados de aquél encuentro se materializaron al año siguiente con la publicación de un volúmen con el texto de las ponencias discutidas y el texto de la conferencia inaugural del Dr. Rolf Tiedemann. Tres años más tarde, 2009, apareció el primer número de Constelaciones, concebida para llenar un vacío que el congreso dejó en evidencia.
