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.
