The journal is open to receive papers throughout the year, except when there are calls for papers published on its Web page. Papers must be sent to the editor's email hcadenas@uchile.cl and not by registering on this page. It should be noted that due to the number of papers received, the evaluation of each paper can take between 4 and 8 months.
MAD also publishes articles in "Early View" version, which have been accepted for publication, peer-reviewed and corrected before the publication of the issue, allowing its readers to have quicker access to its contents. Each article has an online publication date and a DOI, allowing them to be cited as soon as they are published.
Please refer to the "Guidelines for the presentation and submission of papers".
En este artículo se plantea la tesis que los procesos de diferenciación funcional, aunque refuerzan estructuralmente la viabilidad del sistema societal global y sus parcialidades, dejan espacios rezagados y de alta fragilidad que atentan contra si mismos. Específicamente, se destaca la pérdida de racionalidad global para enfrentar las amenazas ambientales que la sociedad autoproduce. Este controversial tema se aborda con la teoría de los sistemas autopoiéticos. Desde ella se describe la sociedad contemporánea y las distintas modalidades comunicativas que se aplican para el tratamiento de los problemas ambientales. Finalmente, se destaca la función de los movimientos de protesta ambientalistas en la morfogénesis de cambios que favorecen la continuidad evolutiva de la sociedad.
