  • CALL FOR PAPERS V!RUS 31 | ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: STATE OF THINGS

    2026-05-09

    The thirty-first edition of V!RUS Journal focuses on Artificial Intelligence as a technical, political, cultural, and epistemic phenomenon. This edition of the journal aims to bring together current research on the subject, in areas of knowledge related to the study of Architecture, the city, and society, seeking to document a "state of things". We aim to bring together critical examinations of the conditions of production, distribution, and appropriation of AI in the contemporary world, paying special attention to the asymmetries between the Global North and South, to decolonial dimensions, to the tensions between optimization, datafication, and subjectivities, and between technical efficiency, creative processes, and ethics.

    2025-12-18

    We are pleased to announce that the thirtieth edition of the V!RUS journal, themed "MULTILATERAL DIALOGUES: PRAXIS, INTERLOCUTIONS AND CONFRONTATIONS," is now available on the USP Journals Portal.

    This edition features twenty-eight articles and essays, and the interview "Black People and a Five-hundred-year Silenced Dialogue," with the intellectual and activist of the Black movement, Casimiro Paschoal Lumbundanga da Silva, who discusses the historical impossibility of building dialogues between the Afro-descendant population, the State, and society, particularly in Brazil. Authored by fifty-one authors from various countries and Brazilian states, the works in this edition focus on the place of struggles, confrontations, dialogues, and challenges, on various scales, present in the connection between distinct political, technical, artistic, and theoretical-methodological stances and in the multifaceted praxis thus constructed.

    The next thematic call for papers will be announced in March 2026.
