About the Journal

The journal “Babies Transdisciplinary Scientific Journal” was born from the desire to gather, promote and disseminate scientific productions that recognize the baby as an intentional subject from the period of intrauterine life. The scope of this international journal is, therefore, marked by ethics, which values ​​works that understand the baby beyond biological or developmental reductions, reaffirming its active role in relationships, in its learning, development and constitution processes. We are faced with a theme, the baby, that demands a broader perspective, sensitive to the nuances of the beginning of life and the complexity that it goes through. For this reason, this journal positions itself as a transdisciplinary space par excellence, bringing together contributions from psychology, pedagogy, psychoanalysis, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, neuroscience, medicine, arts, among other areas of knowledge that have the baby as a focus, as a starting point or question. Our transdisciplinary vocation is not limited to the sum of specialties. On the contrary, it starts from the recognition that the baby calls for a way of thinking that breaks down disciplinary boundaries and invites dialogue between science, ethics, art and politics. It is at this intersection that our main premise is inscribed: the baby is not a being in “passive construction”, but a protagonist in its process of living, who acts, communicates, desires and transforms. The journal welcomes theoretical, empirical and methodological productions that give visibility to the intentionality of the baby in its multiple forms of expression: bodily, affective, sensorial, relational and linguistic. We are particularly interested in research committed to listening and interpretation that recognizes the intentionality of the baby in the social and cultural interactions in which it is inserted.
“Babies: Transdisciplinary Scientific Journal” invites authors from different parts of the world to contribute reflections that question the ways of seeing, caring for, representing and living with the baby in the clinic, in the nursery, in the family, in the public sphere, in philosophy, in educational practices, among others. Our editorial proposal is also open to experimenting with languages, formats and devices that challenge the traditional paradigms of scientific production, bringing science and everyday life closer together. And it is with this commitment that we launched this magazine: as a space for the production of knowledge committed to respecting the uniqueness of the baby and to the construction of a sensitive and involved science.
