History of CUHSO Journal

The CUHSO Journal (Culture–Man–Society) was founded in September 1984 under the auspices of the Regional Center for Social Research (CISRE) at the Catholic University of Temuco, Chile. During its early years, the journal focused on anthropological studies and on analyzing the social and cultural transformations in southern Chile, becoming one of the country’s pioneering academic journals in the social sciences.

Between 1998 and 2007, the journal was published by the Center for Sociocultural Studies (CES), broadening its scope to include diverse disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. Since 2007, CUHSO has been published by the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities at the Catholic University of Temuco, consolidating itself as a plural and critical space for interdisciplinary reflection on the social, political, cultural, and territorial processes of the Global South.

Today, CUHSO is an open-access (Diamond Route) and continuous publication journal, indexed in Scopus (Q2) and Web of Science (ESCI). It publishes original research articles, essays, and reviews in Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Mapudungun, upholding high standards of ethics, quality, and the visibility of Latin American scholarship.
