Publication policy and procedures
The Journal Understatement is dedicated to the publication of work produced by students and recent graduates of the DAP. It accepts work in one of the following categories:
Artigos/papers
Escritos de artista/Artist’s Writings
Ensaios Visuais/Visual essays
Accepted languages: Portuguese, English, Galician, Spanish
At least one of the authors must be a DAP student or have completed their PhD less than 6 months ago.
Given the comprehensive and open nature of our PhD programme, we accept all types of work, but we particularly encourage the submission of work related to ongoing PhD projects, most of which are based on the students' own artistic practice.
Os trabalhos publicados serão organizados em dois números por ano – Winter/Spring e Summer/Autumn e indexados por tópicos pesquisáveis que, na verdade, acabarão por criar blocos temáticos ao longo do tempo. Pontualmente poderão ser lançadas chamadas temáticas
O Understatement tem um Conselho Editorial a quem cabe a coordenação editorial da publicação e a validação final de todos os trabalhos publicados. Ao conselho consultivo cabe a revisão dos trabalhos a publicar e o eventual convite a estudantes para a submissão.
Once submitted, all works must be approved by at least two members of these councils. One of these individuals will be designated as responsible for editing and monitoring the publication of the submitted work.
