The editors of Monograma: Revista Iberoamericana de Cultura y Pensamiento, promoted by the Fundación Iberoamericana de las Industrias Culturales y Creativas FIBICC (Ibero-American Foundation of Cultural and Creative Industries) and the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, invite you to submit articles for its second issue (November 2018) on the topic "Argentine Philosophy: Critical Contributions on the Construction of an Academic Field in the Global South". The issue will be coordinated by Professors Lucía Belloro (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle - Paris 3), Clara Ruvituso (University of Rostock) and Paula Jimena Sosa (National University of Tucumán).

Consolidated as an academic discipline within the framework of the university reforms initiated in 1918, Argentine philosophy was marked from the outset by the contrast between the reception and appropriation of European traditions—especially French and German—and the search for a national and Latin American identity. The debates surrounding the crisis in the West during the first half of the 20th century fuelled the search for an own tradition through the construction of the history of national and Latin American ideas and critical debates on European influences and indigenous and mestizo legacies. These debates converged during the second half of the century in the Latin American and liberation philosophies. In this journey, the intersections with literature and essays, as well as the ruptures in their close relationship with changes in the political sphere, marked the constitution of an intellectual field that currently reflects conflicts and long-standing debates. The aim of the dossier is to bring together different works focused on the debates, practices and ruptures that characterized the constitution of Argentine philosophy as an academic field located in the global South from a socio-historical perspective. The novelty of the approach is based on the intertwining of the theoretical and methodological perspectives of philosophy, literature and political and intellectual history, combining the classic internalistic reading of texts with the analysis of the geopolitical contexts of production, their forms and local expressions. The debate we want to incite is articulated around the following questions: What relations can be established between university policies in different stages of rupture (reformism, first Peronism, "liberating revolution", dictatorships, transition) and the transformations of the philosophical field? What were the factors that influenced the centrality of the reception of German and French philosophy in Argentine philosophical production, and what were the own conceptual appropriations and creations? How did the relationships of the philosophical field with that of essays, literature and criticism become interwoven? What implications do the concepts of "field" and "peripheral" conditions have for thinking about philosophical production?

Humanistic works of academic character will be accepted on any aspect related to philosophy, and its links with literature, book culture, arts, visual culture, film, creation, cultural studies, history of culture, etc. The papers submitted must be original and unpublished. Works will be accepted in Spanish, Portuguese and English. All collaborations will be evaluated using the peer-to-peer blind system.

The journal has the support of an excellent international scientific committee of specialists and a prestigious editorial committee in the humanities. The contents of the journal are focused on the culture and philosophy of contemporary Latin America, without forgetting the relationship with tradition. It aims to reflect the rich plurality of the Ibero-American cultural community, but also its proximity.
