Incontri: Rivista Europea di Studi Italiani

Aims & Scope

Incontri. Rivista europea di studi italiani is a double-blind peer-reviewed international journal of Italian Studies dedicated to the study of Italian culture from its origins to the present day. Since its founding in 1985, the journal has published original research across a wide range of disciplines, including history, literature, linguistics, philosophy, art history, music, cinema, and theatre. Incontri actively encourages interdisciplinary contributions that cross traditional boundaries within the Humanities. It also welcomes research that examines Italy within transnational and comparative contexts. In doing so, the journal seeks to foster critical debates on the interconnected and evolving nature of Italian culture in a European and global context. Published as an Open Access journal, Incontri is the official publication of the Werkgroep Italië Studies (WIS), a scholarly network based in the Dutch and Flemish academic communities. Its editorial and advisory boards are composed of scholars recruited from the local and international field of Italian Studies, ensuring rigorous peer review and editorial supervision. Incontri welcomes contributions in Italian, English, and Dutch, reflecting its inclusive linguistic policy and commitment to fostering cross-cultural academic exchange. While Incontri serves the WIS membership, its scope is explicitly international, aiming to support a dynamic and diverse scholarly community. The journal appears termly, publishing two issues per year, with an annual volume of approximately 200–300 pages. Each issue features a range of scholarly articles, thematic features, critical reviews, and research notices. The journal is published in collaboration with WIS and Openjournals . The journal also welcomes proposals for guest-edited special issues.
