The logo of this journal is an image of Janus bifronte —god of doors for the ancient Romans— with
the peculiarity that one of the faces is male, of an old man, and the other female, of a young
woman. It symbolizes our expectations: looking towards the past to study and understand it, but
with the perspectives and means of the present, with the aim of safeguarding it and transmitting it
to the future. Janus is an open door that lets research results flow, which immediately transfers
them to those interested so that they can fertilize ideas and continue to advance knowledge.
Janus aims to promote the exchange of global knowledge. There are no fees for submission of
papers or fees for the publication of articles. Its aim is to host:
• Research results related to Spanish Literature of the 16th and 17th centuries from
multidisciplinary perspectives,
• Collaborations on different aspects of Spanish, European and Latin American Literature and
Early Modern culture, especially those related to the SIELAE fields of study: Emblematics,
Early News Pamphlets, Renaissance Encyclopedias (Polyantheae), Inventories of books and
Libraries of 16th and 17th centuries, as well as visual culture studies in which word and image
are associated.
• Digital Humanities Studies.
