About the Journal
The Mouth is an open-access journal devoted to the critical study of language practices and ideologies, cultural concepts and social contexts. It is transdisciplinary and not bound to a single particular form. Contributions can be written texts of varying size and genre, images, videos and other formats, in different languages.
Our Mission
We are convinced that thoughts can be expressed in multiple ways. This journal supports the openness to forms of texts and to practices of language, which we see as essential for publishing a wide variety of thoughts, expressions and concepts. We are sensitive to positionalities and to the ways in which stories are told in different ways, as well as to different forms of theorizing in various languages and societies other than the ones in which we live. Attempting to learn from others, we will continue to create a journal that allows for multiple forms of expressions and texts, which also includes podcasts and visual material that transmit knowledges in a variety of ways.
Current Issue
Vol. 13 (2026): Poetics of Resonance
This collection brings together contributions that explore the relationships between language, the body, perception, and social experience. The authors examine how people engage with the world through aesthetic, linguistic and embodied practices, considering topics such as poetic forms of expression, everyday moments of waiting, religious symbolism, sexual and desire-related practices, and acts of resistance and self-positioning. Courageous and innovative perspectives are also found in the ways ideas and resonances are presented as we strive for epistemic diversity also through a plurality of forms and modes of constructing and transmitting knowledge. The contributions are united by a shared interest in moments when language transcends mere communication. Here, language emerges as resonance, embodied practice, aesthetic form, social action, and a medium through which belonging and difference are expressed.
