Now in its 14th consecutive year of publication, E-REI – E-Journal of Intercultural Studies (SCOPUS), published by the Centre for Intercultural Studies (CEI) at ISCAP – P.PORTO, continues to establish itself as a space for critical thinking, academic rigour, and global dialogue.
Featuring 25 articles, 1 book review, and 1 postgraduate research paper, the 2026 issue brings together contributions from 11 countries, reflecting the diversity and complexity of the contemporary world—from Portugal and Spain to Italy and Brazil, from Ukraine to Turkey, and including Morocco, India, Malaysia, and China, among other academic and cultural contexts.
In this issue, E-REI – E-Journal of Intercultural Studies further consolidates its role as a transnational platform for cutting-edge research in the fields of cultural studies, communication, translation, media, education, and society. Its thematic diversity is matched by a plurality of methodologies – from qualitative analysis to discourse critique, from case studies to empirical research – reflecting a field in constant reinvention and deeply grounded in present-day dynamics.
This volume stands out for the timeliness of its themes, among which the following are particularly prominent: digital media and global cultures, including social media, streaming, advertising, and audiovisual production from an intercultural perspective; translation, language, and power, with particular attention to tensions between human mediation and artificial intelligence; gender, visibility, and representation, focusing on media discourses, contemporary feminisms, and emerging cultural practices; memory, identity, and decoloniality, exploring archives, cultural heritage, and postcolonial dynamics; interculturality and education, offering innovative perspectives on learning, technology-mediated communication, and multilingual contexts; sustainability, tourism, and global citizenship, articulating social, cultural, and economic practices; and art, literature, and cinema as forms of resistance, interpretation, and social transformation.
Issue 14 of E-REI – E-Journal of Intercultural Studies is not merely a collection of articles: it is a living map of contemporary cultural intersections, an invitation to critical reflection and dialogue across geographies, languages, and epistemologies. In a time marked by complex challenges and accelerated transformations, E-REI continues to fulfil its mission of connecting worlds, questioning boundaries and expanding horizons.
