Dialogal

Dialogal is a quarterly magazine published in Catalan that focuses on religious diversity, spirituality and the search for meaning. It was founded in spring 2002 on the initiative of the Associació UNESCO per al Diàleg Interreligiós (UNESCO Association for Interreligious Dialogue) and was initially driven by the publishing house El Ciervo 96. It is described as the first magazine of its kind published in Catalonia. The publication aims to be a space of reflection for anyone seeking meaning, a place of growth, novelty and transformation that seeks to create thought, generate debate and give voice to what is being lived today, both inside and outside the religious framework. The magazine has a quarterly frequency and is distributed mainly in the Catalan-speaking territories. Its content combines thematic dossiers, interviews, essays and articles by scholars, journalists, theologians and cultural figures. Recent issues have addressed topics such as paradise, popular religiosity in the Catalan Countries, guilt, and the unconscious, with contributions from writers, anthropologists, architects and researchers. The magazine also maintains a digital presence and offers subscriptions in paper and digital formats. Between 2002 and 2008, Francesc Rovira, deputy secretary of the association and a professor at the Centre d'Estudi de les Tradicions Religioses and the Institut Superior de Ciències Religioses Sant Fructuós, served as director. He was succeeded by Manuel Pérez Browne. During this period, contributors included Laia Villegas, a Sanskritist and specialist in Hindu philosophy; Jaume Angelats, doctor of theology; Tina Vallès, philologist; and David Casals Vila, journalist. In 2016 the magazine came under the management of Editorial Mediterrània. In autumn of the same year, under the direction of Clara Fons Duocastella, the magazine was relaunched with a complete redesign, updated content and a new social media presence, incorporating more current affairs topics and new contributors. In spring 2020, Fragmenta Editorial took over from Mediterrània, keeping Clara Fons Duocastella as director and adding the writer Anna Punsoda as editor of the publication. Today Dialogal is published by Fragmenta Editorial, an independent Catalan publishing house known for its catalogue on religion, philosophy, spirituality and culture. The magazine continues to publish quarterly issues, with recent editions including #93 (Autumn 2025), #94 (Winter 2025), #95 (Spring 2026) and #96 (Summer 2026). It remains a reference point for interreligious dialogue and contemporary spiritual thought in the Catalan language.
