About the Journal
CESURA - Rivista is an expression of the critical and historiographical positions of CESURA, in its double organization of association and international inter-university center. It reflects the vocation to interdisciplinarity and the integration of different forms of knowledge (in particular literature, philology, linguistics, history, art) that CESURA has demonstrated in the workshops of recent years. In this perspective, literary expression, documentary sources, artistic representation are always integrated, and the artistic-cultural dimension is never separated from the ideological and doctrinal one. The Journal, therefore, synthetically reproduces the intrinsic variety and cohesive interaction of the models and historical-cultural attestations of Humanism and the Renaissance that developed in the Kingdom of southern Italy and in the Crown of Aragon.
CESURA - Rivista Journal (immediately recognized as Scientific by ANVUR for Areas 10 and 11) adopts rigorous publication and scientific quality control procedures, with a verifiable double blind peer review process: we send anonymous articles to two anonymous readers (referees), who are selected among high-profile international scientists. Each article is also rigorously read and scientifically approved by the members of the Scientific Committee. Our Publication Ethics is compliant with the COPE Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors. For further details, please, see the Info page.
