    Founded in 2008 by Fabrizio Desideri and Giovanni Matteucci, «Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico» is a peer-reviewed Open Access Journal whose focal aim is to promote interdisciplinary and transcultural research and debate in Aesthetics and the arts. Transcending traditional subject boundaries and understanding the notion of "aesthetic" as a pervasive component of human cultures and life forms, Aisthesis innovatively integrates a major focus on the intersection between aesthetics and the contemporary sciences (biology, psychology, neurosciences) with an in-depth interest in the history of the discipline, its leading classics and great metaphysical questions.

    The journal appears biannually, in spring and autumn, and welcomes insightful academic articles and timely book reviews. Each issue includes a thematic cluster and a miscellany; call for papers are regularly announced on the journal website. "Aisthesis" is indexed, among others, in The Philosopher's Index, SCOPUS, PhilPapers, Google Scholar, and WoS Clarivate.

    URBAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

    Approaches, Tools, Opportunities and Challenges

    Edited by Camilla Perrone, Giulia Guadagnoli, Stefano Borgo

    Deadline August 30, 2025. 

    URBAN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE aims to stimulate a debate on these issues across scholars and experts engaging in the domain of AI applied to cities, or grappling with the challenges and problems that the introduction of AI in cities generates. Within this view, it welcomes works presenting and discussing the potentiality of developing AI for cities, and the consequences of using AI on the relationship between the city and society, on the functioning of socio-technical systems, and on the relationship between natural and artificial as well as human and non-human animals, and the variety of multi-agent interactions that are intrinsic to cities.

    This issue of Contesti is open to theoretical, methodological and descriptive contributions (case studies, approaches, territorial policies) on the following topics (non-exhaustive):

    Approaches

    • Approaches and experiments in the field of AI applied to cities
    • Planning and AI
    • The emergence and evolution of urban AI
    • Urban ontology and AI

    Tools and practices

    • AI in planning
    • Data-driven Urban Intelligence (big data, data analytics, semantic computing, etc.): digital twins, urban control rooms, etc.
    • Plans and projects supported or produced with AI
    • Urban policies and AI
    • The perspectives of Italian, European (see, for example, EU AI Act), and other international institutions regarding AI in urban settings: practices, challenges, issues, and limitations.

    Ethics, opportunities and challenges

    • Limits and opportunities presented by various approaches to AI for research on cities, service and infrastructure management, or urban and territorial design/planning.
    • What ethics exist between utopia and dystopia for the post-human?
    • What narrative/rhetoric accompanies the digital transformation?

    The issue is co-edited by the Critical Planning and Design Laboratory of the University of Florence (Camilla Perrone chair, Giulia Guadagnoli) and the Laboratory for Applied Ontology (LOA) – Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies (ISTC-CNR) (Stefano Borgo, chair).

  • Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography

     

     

    ISSN 1123-7023 (online)

    CROMOHS is a peer-reviewed, open-access electronic history journal published in English, and over the last two decades has established a solid reputation for scholarly rigour. With a marked international outlook, it aims to encourage methodological debate arising from original and creative dialogue between scholarly traditions, and to promote innovative approaches to archival research. CROMOHS acts as a focal point and forum for challenging and fresh scholarship on fourteenth- to nineteenth-century intellectual, social and cultural history in a global perspective. It seeks to move beyond a strictly regional and Eurocentric approach, with a preferential view towards histories of transcultural contacts and connections. Articles relating to Muslim societies (fourteenth-nineteenth centuries) are most welcome. More generally, CROMOHS strongly encourages contributions engaging with extra-European cultures and societies. CROMOHS invites theoretically informed work from a range of historical, cultural and social domains that interrogate cross-cultural and connected histories, intersecting the history of knowledge, emotions, religious beliefs, ethnography, cartography, the environment, material culture and the arts.

    Philosophy of the Sensus Communis. The Public, the Individual, the Cultural Practices

    Edited by Andrea Gatti

    Maurice Ashley-Cooper; Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesburyby John Closterman (died 1711) | (photo Wikimedia)

    The idea of the sensus communis is something of a crossroads for many cultural issues and practices in eighteenth-century Europe. It was at the heart of aesthetic, moral, political, religious, educational and legal concerns. Conceived as an inner sensibility or a sense of belonging to a community under the aegis of a set of common values, the sensus communis was one of the main themes of the investigations into human nature of 18th century authors such as Shaftesbury, Voltaire, Vico, Hume, Kant, Herder and others. At the same time, it inspired a whole series of cultural operations that referred to the idea of a collective taste that cultural operators sought to encounter, stimulate and educate. From this perspective, the idea of the sensus communis not only further defines the modern idea of the individual, but also sheds light on the heterogeneous genres and new cultural practices that emerged in the eighteenth century, on the then dominant notions of audience and ‘cultural industry’, and on the emergence of an unprecedented philosophy of the ‘spectator’.

    The deadline for submissions is 31 December 2024.

    «Diciottesimo Secolo» is the official international open access journal of the Società Italiana di Studi sul Secolo XVIII (SISSD). It is committed to hosting critical debates covering a full range of eighteenth century subjects: from literature to history, from law to religion, from philosophy to science, from anthropology to the fine arts, from linguistics to ethics, from theatre to music. It is also intended as an instrument for providing updated information about current Italian research in eighteenth-century studies. Published annually and double blind peer reviewed, the journal is divided into three sections: “Essays”, “Critical Notes” and “Reviews”.

  • Drammaturgia

    Drammaturgia is a new series of the same title journal published by Salerno Editore until 2003. Issued once a year, it examines the intercultural dynamics of theatre and the differences between literary structures of the discipline and its specific contexts and processes of production and fruition.

    Directed by Siro Ferrone with Stefano Mazzoni (until 2022) and Renzo Guardenti (from 2023), the new series of the annual journal «Drammaturgia» is the continuation of the prestigious multidisciplinary publication of the same name founded in 1994 by Ferrone and published with rigorous punctuality until 2003 by Salerno Editrice: ten monographic issues and eight notebooks, for a total of more than 4500 pages. The new series is published by Firenze University Press, both in print and in electronic form. The contents of «Drammaturgia» (original essays, documents, texts, bibliographic repertories, ongoing research) are available in open access. The journal investigates a long-term diachronic arc – from the ancient world to today –  in a historical-philological perspective attentive to intercultural dynamics and to the differences between the literary crystallizations of the theatre and the specific contexts and processes of production, staging and consumption of live theatre. In addition to the annual issue of the journal, reviews and commentary on current topics are published quarterly since 2001 on the website «Drammaturgia» (http://drammaturgia.fupress.net). A close and fruitful scientific collaboration is established between «Drammaturgia» and AMAtI, Multimedia Archive of Italian Actors (http://amati.fupress.net). The editorial staff of the journal is based in the Department of History, Archeology, Geography, Fine and Performing Arts of the University of Florence (Head Office in via Gino Capponi, 9).

    CALL FOR PAPERS: VOL. 16 - 2026
    Material Space and Literary Production in Early Modern Europe

    Edited by Chloe Fairbanks and Catherine Jenkinson

    Volume 16 (2026) of the Journal of Early Modern Studies will re-examine the relationship between material space and literary production in early modern Europe. Literary production is here defined as including prose, sermons, poetry, drama, letters, and diaries, written for both private and/or public audiences. In its reconsideration of both space and place, broadly defined, the volume will offer a reassessment of both late medieval and early modern writings about and within space and will offer fresh ways of understanding the complex relationship between individuals and their environments (material, imagined, or otherwise) during this period. The editors particularly welcome submissions which engage with subversion and the deconstruction of formal and informal power structures, and encourage submissions from scholars of underrepresented backgrounds. Contributions that examine the literary output or spaces traditionally excluded from modern scholarship are also encouraged.....  Read More  PDF

    The advent of electricity and its instrumental applications has given new impetus to the relationship between music and technology. The constant and progressive spread of electronics and digital tools has increasingly influenced the executive and creative areas of music, aligning the technological dimension always present in its evolutionary path to the demands of contemporaneity. Hybridizations between different genres have been developed. Expressive languages and horizons of scientific and technological research, unthinkable only a few decades earlier, have opened up.
    Music/Technology attempts to explore this dimension, in the awareness that the relations between the musical world and the technological one are not linear but rather characterized by chronological and environmental mismatches. With the aim of making explicit - as we had already underlined in our first issue - the awareness that shows «how new categories of musical thought could be created thanks to the invention of devices and instruments whose impact on our ways of learning and conceiving sound phenomenon was decisive» (Hugues Dufourt). The ratio line present in the title of the magazine therefore seeks to express precisely this, in all the values that one wishes to assign to that line. Ultimately, the urgency is to understand the creative, productive and realization mechanisms in which music fits thanks to its electrical and digital developments, while undertaking a reflection that allows us not to be overwhelmed by them.

    Architectural history and the challenges of interdisciplinarity

    Call for Papers

    Edited by Nadja Aksamija, Antonio Brucculeri, and Denis Ribouillault (PDF eng/ita/fr)

    The annual journal Opus Incertum dedicates the 2025 issue to architectural history and the challenges of interdisciplinarity. It is nearly impossible to define the discipline of architectural history in simple terms today. The field has become pluralistic and fragmented, marked by multi-, trans-, inter-, and even anti- disciplinarity (Mowitt, 1997). The adoption of various methods from the humanities and social sciences and the introduction of cultural approaches (e.g., visual studies, literary studies, intermediality, etc.) have resulted in extraordinary diversity in the writing of architectural history. Consequently, scholars from various disciplines now operating under the banner of architectural history often have little in common (Timbert, 2021). ..read more.
