Aims and Scopes

Studi Slavistici is dedicated to exploring various aspects of Slavic studies, with a focus on linguistic, literary, and cultural intersections, particularly between Slavic and Italian contexts. The journal aims to provide a platform for scholarly discourse, fostering a deeper understanding of Slavic languages, literatures, and cultural phenomena.
  1. Linguistic Studies:
    The journal emphasizes linguistic research, including dialectology, syntax, and language acquisition, particularly in the context of Slavic languages and their interactions with other languages.
  2. Literary Analysis:
    A significant focus on literary studies encompasses historical and contemporary analyses of Slavic literature, exploring themes, styles, and intertextuality across different Slavic cultures.
  3. Cultural Intersections:
    Studi Slavistici investigates the cultural exchanges between Slavic nations and other cultures, particularly Italian, examining how these interactions shape literature and social narratives.
  4. Translation Studies:
    The journal addresses the complexities of translation, particularly between Slavic and Italian languages, highlighting the role of translation in cultural dissemination and literary interpretation.
  5. Historical Contextualization:
    Research that situates Slavic literature and linguistics within historical contexts, exploring the impact of socio-political changes on language and literary production.
Studi Slavistici is witnessing a dynamic evolution in its research themes, reflecting current scholarly interests and societal issues. The following emerging themes highlight the journal's responsiveness to contemporary debates within Slavic studies.
  1. Postcolonial and Comparative Studies:
    There is an increasing trend towards postcolonial analysis and comparative studies that examine Slavic literatures in a global context, addressing issues of identity, power, and representation.
  2. Cultural Memory and Trauma:
    Research focusing on cultural memory, trauma narratives, and the legacies of historical events, particularly in the context of the Soviet era and its aftermath, is gaining traction.
  3. Intermediality and Adaptation:
    The exploration of intermediality, including how Slavic literature is adapted across different media (film, theatre, etc.), is becoming a significant area of interest, reflecting broader cultural trends.
  4. Gender Studies:
    An emerging focus on gender dynamics within Slavic literature and culture, including feminist readings and queer literature, indicates a growing recognition of diverse perspectives within the field.
  5. Digital Humanities:
    The integration of digital tools and methodologies in Slavic studies is on the rise, promoting innovative research approaches and enhanced engagement with Slavic texts and languages.

Declining or Waning

While Studi Slavistici has consistently explored a wide range of topics within Slavic studies, certain themes appear to be declining in focus over recent years. This section highlights areas that have seen reduced prominence in published research.
  1. Traditional Folklore Studies:
    Papers specifically centered on traditional folklore and its contemporary relevance have become less frequent, suggesting a shift towards more modern cultural analyses.
  2. Historical Linguistics:
    Although linguistic studies remain a core area, specific focus on historical linguistics and the evolution of Slavic languages has waned, possibly due to a growing interest in applied linguistics and second language acquisition.
  3. Classical Slavic Literature:
    Research dedicated to classical Slavic texts and their interpretations seems to be diminishing in favor of contemporary literary studies and modern cultural critiques.
  4. Regional Studies:
    The examination of specific regional Slavic cultures, particularly those outside the major Slavic nations, appears to be less prevalent, indicating a potential narrowing of focus to more mainstream Slavic narratives.
