DESCRIPTION: 

RECENT ISSUES
SUBMISSIONS: 
Studies in Latin American Popular Culture invites you to submit scholarly
articles, book review essays, and interviews on the theory and practice of
popular culture in Latin America. Articles should not exceed thirty-five
double-spaced pages (including illustrations, charts, and graphs), should
be in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, and should follow the latest edition
of the Modern Language Association guidelines or the Chicago Manual of
Style. If there is any inconsistency in the use of one or the other style, the
essay will not be published in SLAPC. Authors are asked not to rely
exclusively on online bibliographic tools such as RefWorks or Google
Scholar to generate the “Works Cited” in either style, as we have found
them to contain errors. All essays must be accompanied by an abstract of
150-200 words in English that concisely discusses the content and scope
of the study and highlights all major findings. Extensive endnotes and
footnotes are discouraged. Submissions should be sent by email to
mfitch@email.arizona.edu (mailto:mfitch@email.arizona.edu) in a
Word-compatible attachment. In the body of the main message, authors
should include the title of their manuscript, institutional affiliation, home and

https://utpress.utexas.edu/journals/studies-in-latin-american-popular-culture 3/7

work address. The author's name should not appear in the header or footer
of the attachment.

Illustrations are welcome. Photographs and other images may be submitted

as they are, or as high-resolution electronic files (e.g., TIFF, JPEG, PNG,
etc.; not embedded into a Word document). Please make sure to provide
captions that briefly describe content and source. It is the author's
responsibility to obtain permission to use copyrighted or privately owned
images, song lyrics, poetry, or other third-party material. Identify illustrations
by Figure (1, 2, 3 . . .) at the head of the accompanying caption and in the
text, and indicate in the text your preferred location for each figure, e.g.,
"Figure 1 about here."

Inquiries should be directed to:

Melissa A. Fitch, Editor

Studies in Latin American Popular Culture
Department of Spanish and Portuguese
Modern Languages Building, Room 545
The University of Arizona
Tucson, AZ 85721-0067

Manuscripts must not be submitted elsewhere while being reviewed by the

journal's editorial board and outside readers.

Editorial Policy
Studies in Latin American Popular Culture, an annual interdisciplinary
journal, publishes articles, review essays, and interviews on diverse
aspects of popular culture in Latin America. Since its inception in 1982, the
journal has defined popular culture broadly as "some aspect of culture
which is accepted by or consumed by significant numbers of people." This
definition has had one caveat: it does not normally include what is
frequently called folk culture or folklore. Within these parameters,
submissions are welcome on any aspect of the production, circulation, and
consumption of cultural goods in Latin America from any disciplinary
perspective.

In addition, the journal seeks essays that offer new methodological and
theoretical approaches to the subject; explore the impact of modernization
and globalization on Latin American cultural practices; discuss the

https://utpress.utexas.edu/journals/studies-in-latin-american-popular-culture 4/7
6/17/2020 Studies in Latin American Popular Culture | The University of Texas Press

implications of cultural hybridity; examine popular culture as a site of

contention over social meanings and relations of power in cultural
practices; and study relations between sociopolitical phenomena and
cultural expression. SLAPC will generally not accept theoretical essays that
do not have an empirical ground or essays that engage in close reading of
individual texts, unless the analysis has broader theoretical or
methodological implications. The essays should be written in a lively,
reader-friendly manner. Over specialized and discipline-specific
terminology is discouraged.

One section of the journal is devoted to book review essays, which both
critically review a given corpus of books and reflect on their larger
significance for the study of popular culture, including future research
possibilities. The journal also publishes interviews with those involved in
the creation, distribution, and consumption of popular culture.

Articles may be submitted in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.

Book Review Guidelines

Reviews should be in Microsoft Word using Times New Roman or
equivalent. Font size should be set at twelve and the line spacing should be
at least 18 points. While this is the preferred format for review copy, other
formats will be accepted as noted in the "Instructions to Contributors." If at
all possible, book review copy should be sent as an email attachment to:
pobutsky@oakland.edu (mailto:pobutsky@oakland.edu). Reviews
should be more critically focused than simply a commentary on the book
and should draw the reader's attention on how the book fits into scholarship
dealing with popular culture and current theories and practices. Reviews of
single books should be no longer than 800 words
words. Review essays should
integrate the books reviewed into a coherent theme driven by the content of
the book and should be about 800 words per book (e.g., three books would
result in an essay of some 2400 words)
words including introductory and
concluding comments.

Those interested in serving as future book reviewers should send a short

vita statement. This statement should focus on the area of popular culture
scholarship where the reviewer wishes to provide reviews. It is critical that
you include an email address in your statement. It is our desire to establish
a pool of interested reviewers so that we can provide our readers with a

https://utpress.utexas.edu/journals/studies-in-latin-american-popular-culture 5/7
6/17/2020 Studies in Latin American Popular Culture | The University of Texas Press

variety of views and a geographic distribution of reviewers reflective of the

SLAPC readership.

Publishers wishing to have books reviewed should send only those titles
that fit into the framework established in the "Editorial Policy."

Submit review copies of print publications to:

Aldona Pobutsky, Book Review Editor

Studies in Latin American Popular Culture
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures
407 Wilson Hall
Oakland University
Rochester, MI 48309-4401
