✺ About the Journal

Perramus. Journal of Semiotic Studies on Graphic and Visual Media was founded in 2026 by Prof. Fernando Candón Ríos. It is published by the Pandora Association for Feminist Studies and Contemporary Thought (NIF G16756496), a Spanish organization that promotes critical reflection, situated thought, and knowledge from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Perramus specializes in the study of literature, literary theory, and cultural criticism as applied to graphic and visual media. The journal publishes research that examines visual narratives, semiotic devices, and forms of representation in graphic novels, comics, film, television, and other audiovisual media, with particular attention to the relationships between image, text, ideology, and power. Perramus encourages dialogue between critical traditions from the Hispanic world and other cultural contexts, and it welcomes articles, reviews, and interviews grounded in innovative theoretical frameworks, distant from conventional philological approaches and open to intermedial, comparative, and transdisciplinary perspectives.

✺ Editorial Management

Perramus is a digital, open-access, non-commercial publication. It is published under a Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial 4.0 International license (CC BY-NC 4.0) and does not charge any fees to authors or readers. The journal is sustained independently through the collaborative work of the Pandora Association and its editorial team.

Editorial decisions are made collectively by the Editor-in-Chief, the editorial team, and the Scientific Advisory Board. The journal is published biannually and follows principles of transparency, publication ethics, and political commitment to feminist criticism.

✺ Calls for Papers and Schedule

The journal publishes two issues per year. Submissions (articles, interviews, or reviews) are accepted during two submission periods: from January 1 to March 31 (for the June issue) and from July 1 to September 30 (for the December issue).

The editorial team may close a call before the announced deadline if an exceptionally high number of submissions is received. Any changes will be announced on the journal’s website. Accepted submissions will be published in the issue corresponding to each semester, once the peer-review process has been completed.

✺ Editorial Review and Peer Review

All submissions undergo a two-stage evaluation process: an initial review by the editorial team, focused on thematic and formal suitability, followed by an external double-blind peer-review process.

Before submitting reviews or interviews, contributors are advised to contact the editorial team (seminarioasociacionpandora@gmail.com) to confirm their relevance to the journal’s scope. Authors are also encouraged to consult the Author Guidelines.
