Dissidences, Hispanic Journal of Theory and Criticism has been active since 2005 and is indexed by the Modern Language Association. It is designed to fill the gap between scholarly publications and traditional practices and the present dynamics of knowledge production in Hispanic cultural and literary studies.
It attempts to reach as many scholars as much as possible both in the US and abroad about Hispanic criticism. This journal publishes essays that are conceived at the confluence of the theory and Hispanic literature criticism in a broad sense. Oral traditions, literature, intersections of image and word and theoretical discussions with regards to the diverse political, historical, social and aesthetic junctures which the cultures of Spain and Latin America are created today or produced before.
Dissidences has published around ninety eight articles and book reviews that are authored by different scholars from universities and colleges in the four continents, most of them coming from the United States, Latin America, UK and Spain. Moreover, the journal has found a legitimate and unique standing the academy that translates into a bigger number of submissions and a continuously growing number of website visits.
