History, Objectives and Target Audience
The 13th International Meeting on Pragmatism (IMP), between November 7 and 10, 2011, is
held annually since 1998. The event is organized by the Center for Pragmatism Studies
(CPS) of PUC-SP, and is regarded as a major international reference for research, debates
and dissemination of papers on the philosophical current called pragmatism, emphasizing
the classic pragmatism that emerged in the United States in the 19th Century, but not losing
sight of contemporary approaches on it. The Meetings have also fostered a prolific dialogue
with the History of Philosophy in the fields of metaphysics, epistemology, logic, philosophy of
language and semiotics, ethics and aesthetics.
Bilingual abstracts of all communications and lectures are published in print and on the
website of the Center for Pragmatism Studies. Authors may also submit full papers for
publication in two journals edited by the CPS. COGNITIO: Revista de Filosofia (ISSN 1518
7187), and COGNITIO-ESTUDOS: Revista Eletrônica de Filosofia (ISSN 1809 8428),.
The 13th International Meeting on Pragmatism will host 11 lectures given by world-renowned
researchers, invited to the event. The communications sessions will have approximately 40
selected communications. Under a structure tested and approved in previous events, all
lectures will have a guest commentator.

Guidelines for dispatch of full papers
General Comments
Unpublished nature of texts: all papers presented at the event must be unpublished.
Languages: Given the international aspect of the event, all texts are to be submitted in
English.
Responsibility for contents: Contents are the full responsibility of respective authors;
however, the organizing committee reserves the right to make spelling reviews or formatting
alterations in the file information for publication purposes.
Texts
All submissions for the communications sessions must be full texts of 6 to 8 pages,
including abstract, key words, figures, maps, charts, tables, bibliography and footnotes.
Formatting: Times New Roman, font 12, simple line spacing, justified paragraph, A4 paper,
3cm margins, Word or similar format (not PDF).
Citations and footnotes
Citations up to three lines must be contained between double quotes; single quotes are to be used to
indicate a citation within a citation. Citations in excess of three lines must have a 4-cm indentation in
the left margin, in Times New Roman font 11, without quote marks. Suppressions must be indicated
by suspension points in brackets, and insertions or comments must be inside brackets. To emphasize
parts of the citation, these should be highlighted containing the expression “my italics” in brackets,
after the citation, or “author’s italics” if the emphasis is part of the work consulted. Citations may be
indicated in the text in a numbering system (referring the reader to footnotes) or an author-date
system.
Footnotes, which can be reference or explanatory notes, or include indications, comments and
additions to the text, must be numbered sequentially in Arabic figures, with the reference number in
superscript, after the punctuation that concludes the citation, and repeated at the beginning of the
corresponding note. Footnote texts must be in Times New Roman font 10.
At the end of the text there must be a reference list detailing the works consulted.
A generic sequence of the essential elements of a reference may be outlined as follows;
AUTHOR. Title. Issue. Place: Publisher, date. For example:
GOWER, Barry. Scientific method: an historical and philosophical introduction. London:
Routledge, 1997.
In the case of parts of a periodical (volume, booklet, supplement, special issue or other), the
following order should be followed: TITLE (of publication). Place; Publisher, volume, number (of year
and/or volume, and of booklet), date (including periods of publication). For example:
RAE – REVISTA DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO DE EMPRESAS. São Paulo: Fundação Getúlio
Vargas, v.41, n.2, Apr/Jun. 2001
In the case of articles or subject matters in periodicals, the following order should be followed:
AUTHOR. Title and subtitle (of article). Title (of periodical), Place, volume and/or year, booklet or
number, first and final page of article, date or publication period. For example:

In the case of multi-media subject matter, apart from the traditional reference elements, a physical
