Focus and scope

Letras was founded by the Department of Spanish, Literature and Latin, of the Pedagogical Institute of Caracas (today deanery of the Universidad Pedagógica Experimental Libertador). Published since 1958 under the title of Bulletin (from number 1 to 22), it changed its name to Letters in 1967, starting with number 23, when it was attached to the “Andrés Bello” Study Center, transformed into a Research Center in 1976. “Andrés Bello” Linguistics and Literary Research Institute and elevated in 2004 to the category of “Andrés Bello” Venezuelan Institute of Linguistic and Literary Research (IVILLAB), where today Letters is edited and published semi-annually.

Since the professors of the Department of Spanish, Literature and Latin, of the Pedagogical Institute of Caracas promoted the creation of the Bulletin, in 1958 it has been thought that each publication includes works of the specialty that benefit students and also the communities. dedicated to teaching, and more particularly, to the teaching of the language. These ideas were materialized in the Bulletin today called Letters, as it was thought of as a space in which specialists and students - of Spanish, Literature and Latin - would publish and read works of indisputable value and importance that in some cases could have remained in the forgot. Preventing this from happening, the Bulletin grouped together various dissertations, presentations, articles, grammatical miscellanies, interviews, profiles, news, bibliographical and cultural reviews. Thus, day after day, it became a reference for the publication and consultation of works in the areas of language, literature and the teaching of language and literature.
