Aim and Scope

Nuevas Glosas. Estudios Lingüísticos y Literarios is a specialized journal edited by members of the Department of Hispanic Literature of the School of Philosophy and Literature of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). It is a bi-yearly Open Access publication created to promote and publish Hispanic and Spanish research in linguistics, literature, and literary theory. The articles Nuevas Glosas publishes do not adhere to any particular theoretical frame, as long as they promote the knowledge of Spanish as a language or any of its cultural manifestations. The journal is aimed at anyone within the international academic community (teachers, researchers, and students) specializing in Hispanic or Spanish linguistic or literary studies.  Some of the journal’s themes include research on Mexican, Spanish, and Latin-American Literature, Synchronic and Diachronic Linguistic Analysis, and Literary Theory. Nuevas Glosas is sponsored by the School of Philosophy and Literature and financed with public funds.
