CONSTELACIONES Revista de Teoría Crítica es una revista de investigación y divulgación que pretende ser un lugar de reunión y difusión de los trabajos teóricos, en cualquier campo en el que se desarrolle, de las personas interesadas en el análisis y comprensión de los fenómenos sociales y culturales actuales inspiradas por la teoría que se ha venido en llamar Teoría Crítica.
De acuerdo con las ideas nucleares de la Teoría Crítica, expuestas en el pasado por pensadores como Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Walter Benjamin y otros, el objetivo de la revista es servir de plataforma al pensamiento crítico en cualquiera de sus facetas, no seguir ni crear un cuerpo doctrinal cualquiera que sea.
In the current journal of philosophy there is no forum for discussion and dissemination of attempts to update the Critical Theory in Ibero-America. This prompted us to set up a meeting and discussion between those who believe that critical theory has something significant to contribute to the task of unraveling the social, cultural and political situation.
In the areas of Social Sciences, Cinema, Audiovisual Communication, Art Criticism, Cultural Criticism, Aesthetics and Art Theory, Ethics and Moral Philosophy and Politics, Philosophy, Art History, History and Theory of Education, Music, Politics, Sociology, Theory of Literature, etc.. witnessing an intensification of dialogue with representatives of a tradition of thought that, in times of deep crisis and an unprecedented dimming historical horizon, became a radical critique and intellectual responsibility indispensable critical theory in a form of praxis social consistent with those times. Such criticism is inspiring some current attempts to deal responsibly theoretical and practical challenges of this, which this magazine aims to host.
We do not intend to feed any orthodoxy or succumbing to the enchantment of the alleged disputes between heirs, legitimate or not, some thinkers raised against his will to philosophical pantheon. We seek to join forces so far isolated theorists who work in this area, help provide visibility within the general philosophical production, contributing to strengthen the continuity of debate and exchange, as has occurred has been immensely fruitful, and organize and promote discussions on current and relevance of critical theory to decipher the present and the economic, political or ideological society.
The magazine editors wish to emphasize the connection between social theory, cultural theory and theory of subjectivity, a constellation that has characterized it since its origins in critical theory and which continues to the present. Only from such a constellation and as a specific self-reflection can now continue to demand philosophy.
