Abstract

Today we present the Magazine number 10, to give continuity to this project that is already a decade old and that has positioned itself in the most important places of theatrical publications in Latin America. It is also important to highlight that we started this year 2016 with the announcement of important changes in the parameters for the publication of journals indexed in Publindex. Changes that undoubtedly seek to harden or make indexing more difficult, especially for non-scientific journals, dedicated to the humanities or art. However, we have serious criticisms of those procedures that are performed unilaterally, which in advance are negatively subduing what magazines do. With the proposed changes, what they want is officials making magazines. They are not interested in either writers, or knowledge-loving scientists, but digiters meeting requirements and filling applications of such exaggerated demands. Surely they will achieve the proposal: that many journals give up their interest in publishing and rather redirect their editorial interests. Proof of the foregoing is that they make changes for all journals without making a difference between the different types of publications. We believe that, at least, they should reconsider two major fields: one, where what is dedicated to the basic sciences fits and, another, where a different type of knowledge of qualitative type is considered in which, as is its essence, subjectivity prevail , the feelings and valorizations referred to in an aesthetic and cultural sense. For Publindex, or Colciencias, there is only scientific research. In many cases, previously, articles published in our Journal were rejected, which they identified as research in Arts, but called attention saying that it was not scientific research. That is, it seems that the centuries of development of the humanities and of Art have not reached Colciencias, or at least they do not care, because to believe that the world can only be studied rigorously through science is to ignore the multiple development of human knowledge We only have as magazine editors, absorbed by these catastrophic decisions, to try to interpret some reasons why these absurd changes are made. And we come to some explanations already wielded by some authorities in this regard, which explain it from searches of global economic reforms to curb the increase in teachers' salary systems, which in many cases benefit from an exaggerated and uncontrolled way . And with this reason we could agree, however, we believe that other measures of other talent could also be effective and not end up with a system of publications that surely enriches the country's academic landscape.
