Aims and Scopes

Convergencia-Revista de Ciencias Sociales is dedicated to advancing the understanding of social sciences through interdisciplinary research, focusing on various societal issues, gender dynamics, and the impact of digital media on contemporary society. The journal aims to provide a platform for critical analysis and innovative methodologies in the study of social phenomena.
  1. Interdisciplinary Social Science Research:
    The journal encompasses a broad range of social science disciplines, encouraging interdisciplinary approaches that combine insights from sociology, political science, gender studies, and communication studies.
  2. Gender and Social Justice:
    A consistent focus on gender issues, exploring themes such as gender equality, women's agency, and intersectionality, particularly in the contexts of social movements and policy analysis.
  3. Impact of Digital Media:
    Research on the effects of digital communication, including social media and mobile journalism, on social interactions, political engagement, and cultural production, reflecting the evolving landscape of media consumption.
  4. Community and Urban Studies:
    Emphasis on community-based research that examines urban agriculture, local governance, and social cohesion, particularly in Latin American contexts.
  5. Social Inequality and Justice:
    Exploration of themes related to economic inequality, meritocracy, and distributive justice, providing critical insights into the socio-economic structures affecting marginalized communities.
Recent publications in Convergencia-Revista de Ciencias Sociales indicate a shift towards emerging themes that reflect contemporary societal challenges and innovations in research methodologies. The following areas have gained increased attention and significance.
  1. Post-Censorship and Digital Activism:
    Emerging discussions around post-censorship reflect growing concerns about political alienation, particularly among younger generations, as they engage with digital platforms and challenge traditional media narratives.
  2. Socio-Emotional Wellbeing in Crisis Contexts:
    Research focusing on the socio-emotional processes of individuals in crisis situations, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, highlights the importance of mental health and community support mechanisms.
  3. Intersectionality in Policy Analysis:
    There is a rising trend in examining intersectionality within policy frameworks, particularly regarding gender equality and diversity policies, to address complex social identities and experiences.
  4. Community Resilience and Self-Management:
    Analysis of community resilience, particularly in response to crises, emphasizes local self-management and grassroots movements, showcasing the agency of marginalized groups.
  5. Digital Identity and Youth Culture:
    Exploration of how digital identities are constructed among youth, particularly in the context of social media, reflects broader societal shifts in communication and self-representation.

Declining or Waning

As the journal evolves, certain themes have shown a decline in prominence, reflecting shifts in research focus and societal concerns. The following areas are becoming less frequently addressed in recent publications.
  1. Traditional Gender Roles:
    While gender issues remain a focus, traditional discussions surrounding fixed gender roles are being replaced by more nuanced explorations of gender fluidity, intersectionality, and agency.
  2. Historical Analyses of Social Movements:
    There has been a noticeable reduction in papers focusing solely on historical perspectives of social movements, with a shift towards contemporary analyses that emphasize current dynamics and digital activism.
  3. Rural Studies in Isolation:
    Research specifically centered on rural studies without a broader social context or connection to urban dynamics is becoming less common, as interdisciplinary approaches gain traction.
  4. Static Models of Social Inequality:
    The journal is moving away from static analyses of social inequality that fail to account for dynamic and fluid socio-economic conditions, favoring studies that incorporate changing contexts and agency.
