About the Journal

Oikema Journal: A Sanctuary of Knowledge in the Abode of Wisdom

In the depths of the human intellect, where etymology melds with the essence of what we understand as home and economy, emerges the Oikema Journal, an international publication from the Faculty of Human Sciences and Arts at the University of Tolima. Inspired by the etymological foundations linking organization, dwelling, and economy in human societies, Oikema establishes itself as a hub dedicated to undergraduate and postgraduate students, academics, intellectuals, educators, and researchers.

This journal, bridging tradition and modernity, publishes scientific articles, reviews, and reflective pieces. It spans from the ancient roots of the term "Oikema", closely related to the home and its balanced management, to the more contemporary and provocative connections of figures such as Claude Nicolas Ledoux, whose architectural design of Oikema unveils a profound and conceptual relationship between space and humanity.

Nevertheless, what sets the Oikema Journal apart is its commitment to academic excellence, formative research, and its bold proposition of blending rigor with passion. Here, the motto is to write with delight. Each article and each reflection aims to inform, captivate, and beckon contemplation and, above all, to the pleasure of knowledge.

Oikema is not merely a journal; it is a home, a sanctuary for those who believe that academia and delight can, and indeed must, coexist. We invite all thinkers, scholars, and enthusiasts to join this journey where the passion for knowledge meets the art of its expression.
