About the Journal
✺ About the Journal
FemCrítica. Journal of Literary Studies and Feminist Criticism (ISSN: 2990-3297) was founded in 2023 by Prof. Fernando Candón Ríos, Prof. Leticia de la Paz de Dios, and Prof. Nuria Torres López. It is published by Pandora, the Spanish Association for Feminist Studies and Contemporary Thought, an organization committed to critical reflection, situated knowledge, and feminist epistemologies from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The journal specializes in literary studies, literary theory, and cultural criticism. It publishes research focused on gender representations, dissident poetics, and power discourse through interseccional and transfeminist frameworks. FemCrítica promotes dialogue between scholars from the Spanish-speaking world and other academic communities, and accepts articles, reviews, and interviews based on innovative theoretical approaches beyond traditional philological models. The journal is indexed in databases such as Dialnet, SUDOC (France), MLA and ROAD (UNESCO).
✺ Editorial Management
FemCrítica is a digital, non-commercial, open-access journal. All content is published under the terms of a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC 4.0). No submission or publication fees are charged to authors or readers. The journal is independently supported through the collaborative work of the Pandora Association and its editorial team.
Editorial decisions are made collectively by the Direction, the editorial team, and the Scientific Advisory Board. The journal is published twice a year and adheres to principles of transparency, publication ethics, and political commitment to feminist critique.
✺ Submissions and Timeline
The journal publishes two issues per year. Submissions (articles, interviews, or reviews) may be sent during one of the two annual submission periods: from January 1 to March 31 (for the June issue), and from July 1 to September 30 (for the December issue).
The editorial team reserves the right to close a submission period early if an exceptional number of proposals are received. Any changes will be announced on the journal’s website. Accepted submissions will be published in the corresponding semester issue after completing the peer-review process.
✺ Editorial Process and Peer Review
All submissions go through a two-stage review process: first, the editorial team evaluates thematic and formal adequacy; second, the text undergoes external peer review under a double-blind system.
Authors wishing to submit a review or interview are encouraged to contact the editorial team beforehand (seminarioasociacionpandora@gmail.com) to confirm thematic relevance.
