Volume 16, Number 2, July-December 2026

Submission deadline for manuscripts: June 30th, 2026

Sílex invites the intellectual and academic community to submit articles for the dossier “Nature and Ecological Justice: Debates and Perspectives Beyond Anthropocentrism.” The dossier aims to gather research and essays with high impact potential that, from critical approaches characteristic of the humanities and social sciences, analyze the recognition of Nature1 as a subject of rights and the transformations, disputes, and uncertainties that this shift entails in contemporary understandings of the relationships between human beings, non-humans, and Nature. An up-to-date analysis is sought on the ontological, political, institutional, and power configurations that cross those relationships.
