History of the Journal

Papeles de Identidad. Contar la investigación de frontera is framed within the work of the research group Kontu Laborategia. El trabajo de contar en la investigación de frontera, and how it seeks to become a space of reference for the academic expression of theoretical and methodological proposals on the frontier of knowledge available in the social sciences, preferably but not only welcoming research results from the social and human sciences on identity, in a broad conception of this. Sensitive to academic diversity, Papeles de identidad bets on a thoughtful, reflexive and slow process of selection, discussion and edition of texts, which nurtures a serious academic life, prioritizing and favoring open discussion and quality.

Papeles de Identidad succeeds Papeles del CEIC, published by the Centro de Estudios sobre la Identidad Colectiva, of the University of the Basque Country until 2024. In its first period (2001-2006) it collected the production of the permanent and guest researchers of the CEIC. In its second period (2006-2024) it regularly published two issues per year with original articles organized in monographs or free themes. Now, it broadens the scope of its objectives and adjusts them to those of the publishing research group.
