Viento Sur

Viento Sur is a Spanish political journal of critical thought and current-affairs analysis, published bimonthly since 1992. It is a print magazine with an accompanying website (vientosur.info) that carries additional material. Its editorial line is defined by an open Marxism and by fostering dialogue and encounter with other currents of critical thought. Articles address international political current affairs, social movements, and theoretical questions, with particular emphasis on debates linked to the alter-globalization movement and on political and social processes in Latin America. The magazine is structured into sections including "El desorden global" (international affairs), "Miradas" (photography), "Plural" (the central dossier of each issue), "Plural 2" (reflection and debate), "Voces" (literature), "Futuro anterior" (history), "Aquí y ahora" (Spanish political and social current affairs), and "Subrayados" (book reviews). Each issue also includes a "Propuesta gráfica," an original work by painters, illustrators, and graphic artists. Alongside the print magazine, the website publishes specific materials. Viento Sur has been edited since its founding by Miguel Romero until his death in January 2014; thereafter by Jaime Pastor, and from February 2024 its editor is Marc Casanovas. It has an editorial board for the print magazine (including, among others, Brais Fernández, Alberto García-Teresa, and Begoña Zabala) and another for the website (including, among others, Josu Egireun, María Gómez, Petxo Idoyaga, Gloria Marín, Júlia Martí, and Sergio Pawlowski). An advisory council includes, among others, Daniel Albarracín, Iñaki Bárcena, Martí Caussa, Judith Carreras, Andy Durgan, Manolo Garí, Sandra Ezquerra, Pepe Gutiérrez-Álvarez, Pedro Ibarra, Petxo Idoyaga, Gloria Marín, Justa Montero, Roberto Montoya, Ángeles Ramírez, Alberto Santamaría, Miguel Urbán, and Esther Vivas. The journal has carried out editorial work in collaboration with publishers such as La Catarata, Icaria Editorial, El Viejo Topo, La oveja roja, and currently Sylone, and it regularly organizes public events and book and magazine presentations. Notable authors in international critical political thought who publish in Viento Sur include Daniel Bensaïd, Michael Löwy, David Harvey, Perry Anderson, Michel Warschawski, Éric Toussaint, and Gilbert Achcar. In March 2017 the magazine published its issue number 150, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the publication of the first Viento Sur issue. The theme of issue 150 was "1917-2017. Repensar la revolución." The website continues to publish current articles, such as coverage of German state elections, analyses of the global economy and artificial intelligence, housing and anti-eviction struggles, and interviews with social activists.
