> Portal, Journal of Multidisciplinary International Studies is seeking 
> articles for a special issue on Italian cultural studies. It aims at 
> updating existing scholarship and scoping the proliferation of 
> interests in this growing field. It recognizes that cultural studies 
> practitioners write multiple Italies within Italy itself and from 
> provincialized Italies, with a perspective that is both global and 
> informed by specific local knowledge.
>  
> In particular we seek articles that map how processes of social change 
> and identification are negotiated, imagined, explored and contested in 
> relation to the following (but not exclusively) themes:
>  
>
> ·  Belonging
>
> ·  Body
>
> ·  Cinema
>
> ·  Consumption
>
> ·  Design
>
> ·  Digital cultures
>
> ·  Everyday
>
> ·  Fashion
>
> ·  Food
>
> ·  Language
>
> ·  Media (new and old)
>
> ·  New writing
>
> ·  Place
>
> ·  Sport
>
> ·  Visual cultures
>  
> Portal has built into its editorial protocols a commitment to 
> facilitating dialogue between international studies practitioners 
> working anywhere in the world, and not simply or exclusively in the 
> “North,” “the West” or the “First World.” The journal’s commitment to 
> fashioning a genuinely “international” studies rubric is also 
> reflected in our willingness to publish critical and creative work in 
> English as well as in a number of other languages: Bahasa Indonesia, 
> Chinese, Croatian, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Serbian, and 
> Spanish.
> Portal provides open access to all of it content on the principle that 
> making research freely available to the public supports a greater 
> global exchange of knowledge.
> If are interested in submitting a paper please read the Author’s 
> guidelines and information about the submission process Portal’s

> “ovest” o nel “primo mondo”. L’impegno della rivista a creare un clima 
> genuinamente “internazionale” si ritrova anche nella decisione di 
> pubblicare testi critici e creativi non solo in inglese ma anche in 
> bahasa Indonesia, cinese, croato, francese, giapponese, italiano, 
> serbo, spagnolo e tedesco.
