De Genere

Aims & Scope

The online open-access scientific journal de genere aims to be a space where interdisciplinary research on gender studies and post-colonial studies can find space and engage in broad critical debate. Through annual monothematic issues, it aims to trace the paths of scientific research around "genres", understood in the full semantic ambiguity of "genre/gender" and the stylistic and media forms of literature and the arts, to map and investigate the transformations due to the entry of "unexpected" subjects from Western modernity. Starting from the experience of the members of the Scientific Committee, coming from disciplinary fields connected to the Anglo-Saxon world, the journal will primarily focus on literatures, cultures, and critical instances elaborated in English-speaking countries, but without excluding and indeed hoping for a comparative approach ensured by the presence of scholars operating in different fields and with proven interdisciplinary experience in its advisory board. Over time, the Committee hopes for an expansion of its disciplinary horizons with the entry of young scholars from other training paths and, concurrently, from other languages in which publications may be written: at present, the journal will be limited to hosting contributions in Italian and English. Our intention is to create a periodic publication attentive to the different areas of study and their thematic and methodological specificities as they are emerging also thanks to the work of scholars still considered young by academia but with many years of research behind them in areas that are not recognized by the Miur as true "disciplines", such as gender studies, postcolonial studies, and cultural studies. This publication aims to give visibility to the different manifestations that these critical frameworks have in Italian research, hoping for and, if possible, favoring their full recognition at the institutional level.
