Lucero is the literary and critical journal edited, produced and published by the graduate students of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of California, Berkeley. This journal is currently undergoing a transition to a digital format and will continue to be dedicated to Iberian, Latin American, US Latino and Luso-Brazilian Studies. Since its first issue in 1990, it has promoted a multicultural and multilingual dialogue in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The journal’s prestige has assured its place in the Modern Language Association (MLA) Index of publications. From 1990 to the present, Lucero has invited graduate students and scholars to participate in an interdisciplinary dialogue in which every volume focuses on a specific concern related to our disciplines.

The Kaleidoscope Effect
The theme of the 27th edition is the Kaleidoscope Effect. An optical instrument that fragments our visual perception, the kaleidoscope serves as a metaphor to comment on the creation of images, the trouble of unreliable senses, the spectator and their perspective, and other interactive processes influencing how we perceive the world around us. We are thrilled to include four submissions focused on different moments in time and sites around the Americas, with theoretical frameworks from literature and linguistics to visual, gender and performance studies.
