Abstract

FIGURAS REVISTA ACADÉMICA DE INVESTIGACIÓN denotes (by dint of the act of writing) the act of transforming, tracing and representing in each publication the findings that authors lay on every section included in the journal.

PERSPECTIVES is a section that comprises original and unpublished research articles. It evokes the act of seeing through, as the Latin etymology perspicere states it. All participating authors present their progress made or their findings, and put them to their respective scientific community’s consideration and discussion in order to enrich peer dialogue.

SCENARIOS is a site intended for figuralization. This section represents a linguistic setting in which the author and the reader re-create an exchange of thoughts, where the regulated dialogue that maintains the language used to talk about a current issue is figured.

Within the first issue, SCENARIOS hosts written and imaged essays aimed at the academic field of Architecture and Visual Communication. These provide new possibilities of studying current topics, concerning such field, that require a specific critical focus.

 RESONANCES is a space dedicated to critical reviews regarding texts, expositions, scientific activities or cultural events that pulse current time and assist readers on what has gained notoriety.

 FIGURAS REVISTA ACADÉMICA DE INVESTIGACIÓN provides open and immediate access to its content, so as to freely retrieve research articles, essays and critiques and, thus, join the stimulus that the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México is granting to the exchange of research taking place in the country. This is made possible by means of the Open Access initiative, understood as the way of sharing scientific information for free and without restriction, where each article, essay and critique fits in a very singular way.
