The articles received will enter the peer evaluation process, and if approved, they will be assigned to future indexes according to the editorial line of this Journal.
Theme and scope
Based on the work of the Latin American Network of Social Studies on Emotions and Bodies, this Journal seeks to establish itself as a space for questioning the theoretical, methodological, epistemological and political status of studies on the Body and Emotions from America America and the Global South.
Placing the body / emotion as a political issue means understanding it as a foundation for the exercise of power. Any exercise that attempts to understand what is being talked about when naming the body / emotion involves pointing out the structural conditions under which this phenomenon can exist and be named. This means a task of clarifying the horizon of meaning that makes its existence possible and its study valid. Our body hears, feels, smells, tastes and sees what is socially constructed as a “felt world”.
In this line, the main objective of this publication is to open a space for discussion in and from Latin America and the Global South on the social studies of emotions and bodies.

Peer review process
All papers submitted for publication (including reviews) will be submitted to an anonymous external evaluation -under the double-blind system- by two (2) academic peers of outstanding international trajectory in the thematic area of the journal. In order to maintain the anonymity of both parties, the Editorial Team of RELACES will mediate in these instances.
The originals will be submitted to an editorial process that takes place in several phases: First, the Editorial Team will review the works so that they meet the formal and thematic criteria of this publication. Those writings that do not conform to the theme of the journal and / or the norms for authors will not be sent to external evaluators. In these cases, the authors will be notified to adapt their presentation to these requirements.
Once it is established that the articles meet the thematic and formal requirements, they will be sent to two external academic peers who will decide: a) Publish the article as it is presented, b) Publish the article with modifications, and c) reject the article. In the event of a discrepancy between the opinions, the opinion of a third referee will be requested, whose decision will define the result.
Likewise, when modifications are requested, the author will have a period determined by the Editorial Team to carry them out, being the same subject to review by the reviewers who requested them.
The average time for evaluating articles is 90 days, counting from the date of confirmation of receipt. Once the evaluation process is finished, the Editorial Team of the journal will communicate by email the acceptance or not of the works to the authors and will inform them of the tentative publication date when appropriate. The results of the academic opinion process will be final in all cases.
Publication frequency
The articles will be published together once the corresponding number has been prepared. The frequency of publication is three issues a year, the months of appearance being April, August and December respectively.
