New Issue of «Studi Germanici», 17/2020
«Studi Germanici», No. 17/2020
Founded in 1935 as Villa Sciarra’s research publication, «Studi Germanici» is Italy’s oldest surviving magazine of Germanic studies to whose history it has contributed enormously. While philological and literary studies are at its core, its focus has consistently been devoted to Germanic culture as a whole, throughout its geopolitical space as well as in its many variegated expressions: from linguistics, philosophy, art history and musicology to social sciences, history, cinema and archeology. A distinctive feature of the magazine (and of the Institute of which it is an expression) is how it has come to encompass the Scandinavian and Dutch areas, historically viewed as integral parts of the Germanic world and, as such, closely associated with it.
Starting from the issue being published today, issue no. 17/2020, «Studi Germanici» has a new joint editorial direction and a new internal subdivision, featuring four separate sections. The first, «Orizzonti», is aimed at provoking thought and discussion on topics of significant scientific and cultural interest through contributions by authoritative international scholars. The second, «Saggi», features peer-reviewed contributions in the spirit of the Institute's previously outlined research tradition. The third, «Resoconti, materiali e documenti, features reports on projects started by the Institute in addition to unpublished documents and past event materials that fall within the ambit of Villa Sciarra, particularly as regards cultural exchanges between Italy and the Scandinavian and German-speaking world, in cooperation with other international institutions. The fourth, «Osservatorio critico della germanistica», is dedicated to reviews.
