Author Guidelines

Manuscripts can be submitted either in Portuguese, English or Spanish. The texts should be accompanied by an abstract in the same language (up to 150 words) providing a clear summary of the objectives, methods used and main conclusions of the work, besides keywords (three to five) and title.

The texts should have a title page. On this page the author should inform their institutional ties, according to the journal’s model: full name of university or research institute and, between parentheses, its acronym, dash, city of the institution, country, e-mail. Example: Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) - Rio de Janeiro - Brasil - xxxxx@ufrj.br

The author’s name should not be in the body of the text, thus ensuring anonymity in the evaluation and selection process.

The titles of books and journals mentioned in the body of the text should be in italics, as well as the foreign words and highlights by the author.

Images and/or figures should be sent in png or jpeg format. If the article includes graphs, the respective spreadsheets that were their source should also be sent (in a separate file).

If the article is the result of funded research, add a short footnote - to the title - indicating funding according to the rules of the funding institution or agency.

Footnotes should be numbered consecutively at the end of each page, including only additional comments regarding the text.

Citations  in the text must follow the (Author, year) standard. In case of direct quotations (Author, year, p. xx) or (Author1, Author2, year, p. xx). If there is more than one work by the same author in a year, it should be accompanied by a sequential letter from the alphabet. Example: Author, 1998a, 1998b).

Artigos

Os artigos originais e inéditos são recebidos em fluxo contínuo e devem refletir a produção acadêmica e científica sociológica e participar no debate acerca da realidade brasileira e mundial contemporâneas, tratando de questões acadêmicas e de natureza didática.

Sociologies in Dialogue

A seção recebe o mesmo nome da revista em inglês da SBS, agora incorporada à RBS. Visa disseminar estudos que contenham análise empíricas e teóricas inovadoras pertinentes para o debate acadêmico internacional. Busca promover diálogos transnacionais e dará preferência a textos resultantes de investigação empírica sobre temas e questões fundamentais da sociologia bem como a contribuições ao debate atual sobre a teoria social.

Dossier Critically Understanding the New Forms of Right-Wing Politics

This dossier proposes to address how new forms of right-wing political groups have been organized in different parts of the world. Based on frameworks that deal with concepts such as right and left, authoritarianism, populism and others, we expect authors to present reflections – whether of a theoretical nature or with a more empirical emphasis – that account for how these changes present themselves in multiple contexts. We welcome papers with sociological basis and historical perspectives, with a focus on comparative issues, especially with attention to how these ideas and concepts (as well as the practical ways they connect with each other) have been circulating and gaining relevance among different countries, groups and political systems, whether in the center-periphery relationship or carrying other characteristics or circulation dynamics. The dossier also welcomes papers that deal with the role of online social media in regard to these gatherings and performances, and/or how they are intertwined with rallies, demonstrations and other forms of political events. We are particularly interested in receiving the contributions of Black and Women scholars, as well as papers addressing the main theme of our dossier in the African and/or Asian contexts.

Dossiê Pensamento Social Brasileiro

Consolidated as a fertile field for research and teaching, Brazilian social thought has incorporated new cultural languages, new methodological approaches, and emerging themes such as race, gender, and technology, without abandoning the critique of classical matrices and the social effects of ideas on institutions and practices. The circulation, dispute, and reception of interpretations about Brazil remain key elements for understanding the rapid changes and conflicts that the country is experiencing in the era of globalization and digital platforms. This dossier invites contributions that broaden this debate, exploring continuities and inflections in Brazilian social thought, its internal tensions, and its capacity to keep up with and question the changing world.
