La Revista Diferencias de Teoría Social Contemporánea nace como iniciativa del Grupo de Estudios sobre Estructuralismo y Postestructuralismo del Instituto de Investigaciones Gino Germani de la Facultad de Ciencias Sociales de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Se propone como un foro abierto y plural dedicado a la publicación de trabajos de investigación situados en el espacio de la teoría social. Invitamos al envío de contribuciones originales enmarcadas en la dimensión heurística que promueve la revista. La propuesta de la misma es generar un espacio intertextual donde la pregunta por lo social dé lugar a prácticas de producción de conexiones que no por audaces dejen de ser rigurosas. Es decir, a prácticas características tanto del espíritu filosófico y científico como artístico, que hagan del análisis teórico y conceptual su principal aporte a la producción de saberes. La invitación, entonces, es al envío de escritos académicos que traten acerca de: nuevas perspectivas teóricas y su posible aplicación para el análisis de lo social; diálogos y debates entre autores, corrientes y tradiciones heterogéneas de pensamiento; aportes contemporáneos del mundo de la filosofía a la producción artística y científica; usos, derivas y articulaciones conceptuales.
