Perspectiva Temporis is an independent academic platform established at the Russian-Armenian University. The journal provides a space for reflective analysis of the past and the present, where time is understood not as a linear sequence, but as a complex and multidimensional research perspective.

The journal serves as a forum for intellectual freedom and critical dialogue, focusing on the study of the human condition and social formations at the intersections of historical, social, and cultural transformations.

About the Journal: Mission and Focus

The mission of Perspectiva Temporis is to promote interdisciplinary synthesis and to support research practices that transcend conventional disciplinary boundaries. The journal bridges micro-level analyses of everyday life with the study of macro-sociological structures, placing particular emphasis on the longue durée and on processes that shape durable social and cultural configurations.

Key Priorities

• Interdisciplinarity — the intersection of history, anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies as a core methodological framework.
• Frontier Studies — the analysis of zones of civilizational contact, cultural borderlands, and transitional social formations.
• Comparative Studies — comparative approaches to global trends and local cases within their historical and social contexts.

Thematic Areas

The journal invites submissions addressing the following domains:

• Dynamics of Identities — social transformations and forms of collective and individual subjectivity.
• Symbolic Orders — historical memory, cultural heritage, mythologies of power, and representations of the past.
• Macrostructures — global processes, institutional transformations, and their local manifestations.
• Frontier Spaces — social and cultural landscapes of borders and zones of interaction.
