Aims & Scope

Revista de Comunicação e Linguagens is a half-yearly thematic academic journal, with an open-access format and anonymous peer review, published by the NOVA Institute of Communication - ICNOVA of NOVA University Lisbon, Portugal.

It welcomes a diverse range of contributions in the field of communication and culture, with a particular emphasis on the discussion of contemporary culture and technologies, visual and artistic studies, visual culture and media archaeology.

The journal favours original multidisciplinary approaches to the theme of each issue.

It accepts complete articles, critical reviews, interviews and visual essays and positions itself as an international and multilingual forum, publishing in Portuguese, French, Castilian and English.

The journal aims to provide a significant resource to diverse communities, including academics, curators, visual artists, photographers, collectors, independent scholars, undergraduate and postgraduate students - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary culture, arts and technologies, mediation processes and languages.

RCL was created in 1985 by the Centre for Communication and Language Studies - CECL of NOVA University of Lisbon and is one of the oldest scientific publications in the field of communication in Portugal.

A total of 46 issues were published in print, and since 2017 the journal has been published solely in a digital and open-access format.

Each issue of RCL is dedicated to a theme proposed by one or more editors within the scope of the journal.

These editors may be researchers of ICNOVA or external researchers, either national or foreign.

Two Calls for Papers are launched annually
