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. As an interdisciplinary Open Access 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 research areas, 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. 

Incontri is published on a termly basis, with each issue numbering approximately 100-150 pages (an annual total of 200-300 pages), containing articles, features, reviews and notes. The publication of Incontri is a collaboration between the WIS and Openjournals.
