Gentes - Rivista di Scienze Umane e Sociali

Gentes

Gentes marks the inauguration of a new system of online digital publishing, which aims to disseminate the results of scientific research by professors, researchers and scholars from different disciplinary fields, in an interchange of methodologies and approaches that are only apparently divergent.

Gentes, the annual peer reviewed journal, stems from the experience of the Department of Human and Social Sciences of the University for Foreigners of Perugia, where the contiguity between different forms of knowledge has become an opportunity for a critical sharing of methodologies belonging to disciplinary sectors of Area 10, from Literature to Linguistics, History of Art and Semiotics.

Above all, the journal aims to create a space for interdisciplinary discussion, favouring the publication of articles that give an account of research carried out through the fusion of disciplinary fields belonging to the macro-sector of ‘Human and Social Sciences’. Gentes presents three sections that aim to translate and guide the dialogue between different knowledge. In ‘Interdisciplinary Visions’, we welcome contributions that thematise interdisciplinarity or show research results from a multi-perspective approach.

‘Laboratories of linguistic communication’, is devoted to languages and language as a tool of communication, and to ongoing projects and studies on language learning and acquisition, also from a didactic perspective. In ‘Strategies and Practices of Contemporary Cultures’, aspects of individual disciplinary fields are examined in depth from a perspective that privileges contemporaneity as a temporal context of reference, seeking to give voice to new theories and methods of study, and to open up new paths of research.
