Focus and scope

Tópicos del Seminario is a biannual open access publication of a predominantly monographic nature dedicated to the problem of meaning and significance. The central purpose of the journal is to promote, develop and circulate contemporary debates around the problems of different discourses, verbal and non-verbal, manifested in the diversity of texts and practices that make up a culture. Each volume focuses on a topic of interest to semiotics and other related disciplines, such as language sciences, semantics, discourse theory, and analysis, literary theory, art theory, philosophy of language, among others.
Tópicos del Seminario, also intends to promote dialogue and intellectual exchange with the national and international scientific community, especially the Spanish-speaking community, in the aforementioned areas. The journal publishes research papers, reviews articles (from a school of thought or an author's career), and reviews new publications. It only takes into account the most relevant, original, and recently produced works, whose contribution is significant for the advancement of knowledge in the disciplines and themes to which it is oriented. The contributions sent may be written in Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, or English. The texts received will be subjected to a peer evaluation process.
Tópicos del Seminario is a journal edited and funded by the Semiotics and Significance Studies Program of the Vice-Rector's Office for Research and Postgraduate Studies of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. It is currently distributed in a digital format.
