GIS – Gesture, Image and Sound – Anthropology Journal is an academic journal that encompasses fields of visual anthropology, music and sound, performance, theater and art. With the purpose of creating a space for international dialogue involving materials and reflections produced by these fields, we accept publications in Portuguese, Spanish, English, Italian and French; in the case of articles published in Portuguese and Spanish, authors should also provide English translations. In the case of articles published in English, Italian and French, authors should provide Portuguese translations. Translations will be requested by the editorial team after the approval of the original text. The bilingual requirement regarding articles in Spanish and Portuguese is aimed at making known, on a wider scale, production from Latin America and other Portuguese and Spanish-speaking areas. GIS consists of the following sections: Articles, T.I.R (Translations, Interviews, Reviews) and GIS (Gestures, Images and Sounds), that receives essays and other literary works (stories, poems, performance texts), as well as any production that combines textual writing and photographic, audio and/or audiovisual content belong in this section. This journal is a place for experimentation with diverse languages. We encourage non-conventional forms of exploring the ethnographic imaginary. In the section “Found on the web”, works that are available on internet and relevant to the focus and scope of GIS are selected. The curatorship of the section lies with the editorial board.
