Mélanges de la Casa de Velázquez. Nouvelle série (MCV)
Six-monthly magazine (April and November), Mélanges de la Casa de Velázquez. Nouvelle Série covers, without chronological restriction, a wide range of disciplinary fields (history, archaeology, literature, geography, sociology, anthropology...) and presents unpublished research results on the Iberian Peninsula, the Maghreb and the Iberian Atlantic area, according to rigorous scientific criteria. With the exception of archaeological issues, both the African and the Atlantic space are not dealt with by themselves, but rather by the centuries-old links they have forged with the Iberian Peninsula.
The dossiers and the thematic articles in the Miscellanées will favour diachronic, multiscale or interdisciplinary approaches, in the sense that they make it possible to explore new paths, highlight new dynamics and cross different approaches. A final section devoted to current research brings together historiographical articles, opinion articles on current scientific debates, cross-readings and reviews of recently published works. The latter are published online only.
The accepted languages of publication are French and the official ones in the Iberian Peninsula; English and Italian are accepted for articles, provided they are in the author's mother tongue.
