About the Journal
Focus and Scope
Since 1985, Incontri. Rivista europea di Studi Italiani has been an international forum for academic publications related to Italian history and culture. An interdisciplinary journal, Incontri publishes both academic research in various fields (history, literature, linguistics, philosophy, art history, music, cinema and theatre etc.) and contributions that cross the boundaries of traditional Humanities disciplines.
Incontri is the journal of the Werkgroep Italië Studies (WIS), an Italian Studies workgroup based in the Dutch and Flemish academic research community. Members of the editorial team and advisory board are recruited from the international field of Italian Studies in order to guarantee a peer review process of the highest academic standard. The journal is not limited to publications in Dutch and Italian, the languages of the area of research, but also welcomes contributions in English.
Alongside WIS members, Incontri is intended for the European Italian Studies community in the broadest sense, and hopes to promote every kind of international exchange.
