About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Ariadna Histórica responds to the growing interest recently evident in the Spanish/Portuguese speaking world with regard to approaches focused upon the analysis of the social uses of language by the agents of the past. The journal will devote special attention to historical research into discourse, languages and concepts. The field of interest of this publication is not restricted, however, to these topics. Welcome to these pages will be all those contributions which, from diverse perspective– intellectual history, cultural history, political history–attribute appropriate relevance to linguistic, semantic and rhetorical factors. There will also be a place in the journal for works dealing with the appearance and transformation of the analytical tools employed by historians to classify and periodize the past.

The journal seeks to offer its readers quality articles, by both recognized authors and new researchers interested in historical semantics. Texts will be accepted in Spanish, Portuguese, French, English, Italian and German (in this latter case, the original version will be accompanied by a Spanish translation of the article in question). Preference will be given to texts related to the 18th and 19th centuries, but works will also be accepted which, beyond this chronological framework, tackle historical-conceptual themes, especially if they refer to the modern world (including contributions of a theoretical and methodological nature).
