New issue – v. 38, n. 3 (2025)

Revista Linha D’Água (USP, Brazil) has just published a new issue under the theme: “Chronotopic dimensions of women's life writings” (vol. 38, no. 3, 2025).

 

The dossier comprises 11 articles and one book review. This issue of Revista Linha D’Água proposes a reflection on the ways in which women, in different socio-historical contexts and across multiple discursive materialities, inscribe their life experiences within specific spatio-temporal dimensions. Such dimensions, in the specific case of chronotopes as formulated by Mikhail Bakhtin (2018 [1937–38]), are understood here not only as narrative categories, but also as forms of perception, organization, and meaning-making of narrated experience. We start from the assumption that analyzing life narratives authored by women entails investigating how temporal and spatial dimensions condition discursive interaction and shape female subjectivity in its different forms of inscription.

 

The issue was made possible by the contribution of more than 50 peer reviewers affiliated with institutions from all regions of Brazil, as well as with international institutions in Portugal and Peru.

 

The thematic dossier was guest-edited by Prof. Dr. Vânia Lúcia Menezes Torga (UESC, Brazil), Prof. Dr. Vanessa Fonseca Barbosa (USP, Brazil), Prof. Dr. Yuri Andrei Batista Santos (USP, Brazil / Paris Est Créteil, France), Prof. M.A. Girlandia Gesteira Santos (UESC, Brazil), and Prof. M.A. Ana Cláudia Guimarães Senna (UESC, Brazil).
