Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Historia y Memoria' aims to explore and analyze the complexities of historical narratives and memory across various contexts in Latin America and beyond. This exploration is enriched by a focus on diverse methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches.
  1. Cultural History:
    The journal emphasizes the study of cultural practices, representations, and memory, particularly how these elements shape national and regional identities in Latin America.
  2. Local Governance and Political Histories:
    Research often focuses on local governance structures, political movements, and the interplay between state and society during significant historical periods in Latin America.
  3. Gender Studies in Historical Contexts:
    There is a strong commitment to examining gender roles and the participation of women in historical narratives, especially in political and social movements.
  4. Social and Economic Histories:
    The journal also investigates the social and economic dimensions of history, including the impact of food, health, and public policies on communities throughout history.
  5. Memory Studies:
    A unique contribution of the journal is its focus on collective memory and the ways in which societies remember and commemorate their pasts, particularly in relation to trauma and resistance.
Recent publications in 'Historia y Memoria' indicate a shift towards several emerging themes that reflect current scholarly trends and societal concerns, particularly in the context of Latin American history.
  1. Intersections of Gender and History:
    There is a significant increase in research focusing on gender dynamics, exploring the roles of women in historical contexts, and analyzing how gender influences societal developments.
  2. Memory and Commemoration:
    Emerging themes around memory studies highlight the critical examination of how societies remember their past, particularly regarding trauma, resistance, and identity formation.
  3. Food and Cultural Practices:
    A growing trend is the exploration of food as a lens to understand cultural changes, social resistance, and historical narratives, indicating a broader interest in everyday life and its historical implications.
  4. Urban History and Gentrification:
    Recent studies have begun to focus on urban development, gentrification, and their impacts on local communities, showcasing an interest in contemporary issues rooted in historical contexts.
  5. Environmental History:
    The journal is increasingly addressing themes of environmental history, particularly in relation to indigenous practices and the impact of colonialism on land use and ecological systems.

Declining or Waning

While 'Historia y Memoria' has a diverse range of themes, certain areas have seen a decline in focus over recent years, reflecting shifts in scholarly interest and societal relevance.
  1. Traditional Military History:
    There appears to be a waning interest in traditional military history narratives, as more scholars prioritize social, cultural, and gender perspectives over purely military analyses.
  2. Colonial Histories:
    While colonial histories remain important, the emphasis on early colonial studies has decreased in favor of exploring post-colonial impacts and contemporary implications.
  3. Eurocentric Perspectives:
    The journal has shifted away from Eurocentric interpretations of Latin American history, focusing instead on indigenous and local narratives, which have gained prominence.
  4. Biographical Studies of Prominent Figures:
    There is a noticeable reduction in biographical studies centered around prominent historical figures, as the journal increasingly favors collective narratives and broader societal movements.
