Escritos del Sur

In this edition of Escritos del Sur. Revista Carapegüeña de Investigación y Análisis, corresponding to Volume 7 No. 9, of 2025, we take an important step: we begin to venture into the Open Journal Systems (OJS) publication format, aware of the challenge this implies, but with the conviction of raising the quality of publications and reaching more readers through this modality that allows democratizing knowledge.
