We completed the installation of our bi-annual journal in late January 2025 after four years of ideation, discussion, reflection, and other unforeseen circumstances.
We will launch the maiden issue of Simbolismo between May 2025 and June 2025. The subsequent issue will be out between November 2025 and December 2025.
Meanwhile, if you have research articles, commentaries, literature reviews, essays, or meta-analyses framed within semiotics as a theoretical and a methodological lens, literary pieces (a poem or a short story), and visual arts (e.g., painting, drawing, or sketch), please submit them through our Submission portal. Please read our Submission Guidelines, Submission Process, Instructions for Authors, and Submission Checklist for your guidance.
We also encourage you to register for Simbolismo for future announcements such as upcoming issues, special issues, ideation workshops, or potential mini-conferences on semiotics or semiotic studies.
