Aims and scope
Novos Debates: Fórum de Antropologia is a biannual publication of the Brazilian Association of Anthropology open for both students and senior researchers. Although it was initially designed for a Brazilian public, ND has recently invested in broader dialogues with scholars worldwide. Although Portuguese remains the official language of the journal, we publish texts in English, French and Spanish as well as part of a multilingual project. ND seeks to be a platform of dynamic dissemination of both ongoing and completed research at the same time that it presents itself as a space for critical discussion of theoretical, methodological, and political issues that are relevant for the discipline or the groups we engage with in the context of our research. Finally, ND takes the challenge of rethinking academic editorial practice, seeking new formats in a changing context of electronic publications.
Format
Novos Debates publishes contributions in various formats and lengths to enhance the dynamic circulation of ongoing research and current debates. Indeed, this is a key feature of this project as it combines a flexible format associated to journals of scientific dissemination with the critical and rigorous standards of traditional scientific publications. At the same time, willing to contribute to a much-needed actualisation of academic editorial practices, we were one of the first Brazilian journals to publishing photographic essays, ethnographic videos, and anthropological documentaries in the session Compositions (see below). By doing so, we respond to a steady demand for formal spaces conceived for the divulgation of a growing audiovisual production. It is worth mentioning that the format adopted by ND is inspired by other periodicals from various parts of the world, which also invest in short texts, new media and/or contemporary debates in a more participatory way, such as: Economic and Political Weekly, Seminar (both from India), Global Dialogue (newsletter of the International Sociological Association), and American Anthropologist (both belonging to the American Anthropological Association).
