About the Journal

Papeles de Identidad. Contar la investigación de frontera is the journal edited by the research group Kontu Laborategia. Papeles de Identidad pursues three objectives: 1. to become a space of reference for the academic expression of theoretical and methodological proposals at the frontier of available knowledge in social sciences; 2. to deepen the empirical complexity of contemporary forms of identity and subjectivity; 3. to contribute, through a thoughtful process of selection, discussion and editing of texts, to nurture an academic life that prioritizes open discussion and quality. Papeles de Identidad succeeds Papeles del CEIC.
