Aims and Scope
Our objective is to establish a global community of those working on Althusser. Every essay submitted will be carefully peer-reviewed not with the aim of imposing a single interpretation of Althusser, but precisely to strengthen the diversity of views and encourage discussion and debate.
For the present we seek articles in French, Spanish, Italian, and English. We will also consider translating texts published in one of these languages into another language to make it accessible to a new audience. Anyone wishing to submit an article to be published in a language other than the four named above should contact the editors prior to submission.
In addition to receiving online submissions of articles, we are always interested in reviewing proposals for translations, reviews, and special issues.
Please send all individual submissions or proposals for special issues and/or translations to decalagesjournal@gmail.com
Submission Preparation:
Anyone may submit an original article to be considered for publication in Décalages provided they own the copyright to the work being submitted or is authorized by the copyright owner(s) to submit the article. Authors are the initial owners of the copyrights to their works (an exception in the non-academic world to this might exist if the authors have, as a condition of employment, agreed to transfer copyright to their employer).

Objetivos y alcance
Nuestro objetivo es construir una comunidad global de todos aquellos que trabajan sobre Althusser. Todos los artículos que se presented serán cuidadosamente revisados por pares con el fin no de imponer una interpretación única de Althusser, sino precisamente de fortalecer la diversidad de puntos de vista y formentar la discusión y el debate.
Por el momento, buscamos artículos en francés, español, italiano, e inglés. Además, consideramos traducir textos publicados en alguno de estos idiomas a ostros distintos, con la intención de hacerlos accesibles a nuevos lectores. Si alguien deseara presentar un artículo para ser publicado en un idioma distinto de los nombrados, deberá contactar primero con el editor.
Además de recibir artículos, tendremos en cuenta propuestas de traducciones, reseñas y números especiales. Contactar, por favor, con el editor (decalagesjournal@gmail.com)
Scopo e obiettivi
Il nostro obiettivo è aggregare la cumunità globale degli studiosi di Althusser. OGni articolo inviato alla rivista sarà accuratamente rivisto dalla redazione, non con lo scopo di imporre una singola interpretazione di Althusser, ma con quello, appunto, di rafforzare la diversità dei punti di vista e incoraggiare la discussione e il dibattito.
Al momento, sono accettati articoli in francese, spagnolo, italiano, e inglese. È prevista anche la possibilità di tradurre in altre lingue i testi pubblicati, per renderli accessibili a un diverso pubblico. Chiunque voglia proporre un articolo in una lingua diversa da quelle sopra elencate è pregato di contattare la redazione.
Oltre ad accettare proposizioni online di articoli, saremo lieti di prendere in considerazione proposte di traduzioni, recensioni e numeri speciali. Anche in questo case, preghiamo di contattare la redazione (decalagesjournal@gmail.com)
Objectifs et portée
Notre objectif est de constituer une communauté globale de tous ceux qui travaillent sur Althusser. Tous les articles qui seront présentés seront soigneusement relus par des pairs, non pour imposer une interprétation unique, mais au contraire pour renforcer la diversité des points de vue et favoriser la discussion et la débat.

Pour toute publication d’articles en une autre langue que celles mentionnèes ci-dessus, il faut préalablement prendre contact avec l’éditeur.
Au-delà des propositions d’articles, nous prendrons en considération les propositions de traductions, de comptes-rendus. Nous envisageons aussi des numéros spéciaux. Vous pouves, s’il vous plaît, prendre contact avec l’éditeur (decalagesjournal@gmail.com)
