A Reconsideration of / New Light on
Explanation:
Pretty much along the same lines as Jim's suggestion; this is a standard formula in the titles of academic articles. "Revisar" implies questioning and correcting the established interpretation of something, often in the light of new evidence. "Reconsider", implying reflecting anew on something that has already been explored before, seems to me the right word.

You could include "cuestiones" by saying "A Reconsideration of Issues Concerning/Related to...", for example. Strictly it is not claiming to reconsider the matters listed exhaustively, but only certain aspects of them. However, in practice I don't think anything important would be lost if you cut it down to "A Reconsideration of the Foundation, Location..." etc.

I think "New Light on...", another formula used in this kind of title would also work well, and you could omit "cuestiones with this, since "New Light" simply implies some new information on or understanding of the topics. That is what "Cuestiones revisadas" really implies.

If you search for these phrases you'll find them used in the titles of a number of publications.

I imagine it's not possible to discover what the article actually talks about. If it's primarily about reconsidering evidence already published and interpreted by others, then "A Reconsideration" would be suitable. If it's more about new data that change the picture, "New Light" would be good. I think I'd probably go for "New Light on" in any case, since it would fit both kinds of study, and "New" is always a good word to use (academics want to be seen to provide something new).
