Extension: between 15 and 30 pages.
Critical Notes

They require formal academic presentation and a basic structure. They must include an abstract, in Spanish and English, with an extension between 150 and 250 words, specifying the objective and relevance of the research. In addition, between three and five keywords should be included in both languages.

Academic Interviews
It is the written presentation of a formal conversation with a writer or a specialist in literary studies, oriented to the development of suggestive and useful material for literary research. The proposed interviews must include an abstract in Spanish and English, not exceeding the 250 words, that demonstrates their relevance for literary studies. If the interviewee is a writer, the abstract should provide essential information about his or her work and its critical reception; if it is a researcher, you must refer to the most relevant contributions of theirs, as well as outline the topics discussed in the interview. In addition, between three and five keywords must be provided in Spanish and English.
Extension: between 7 and 30 pages.
