《意大利研究》将于2020年出版，这是该杂志第75期的第75期。为了纪念这一时刻，高级编辑决定委托一组合作编写的文章为一期特刊撰写，该特刊致力于“意大利研究的关键方向”。对于该杂志的第75卷，似乎是时候邀请同事与我们一起审查我们认为代表2020年意大利研究作为一门学科的最新水平的研究领域，以及对其未来发展的关键。我们试图确定目前在杂志涉及的研究领域和方法中特别富有成效的几个广泛的主题领域，寻求在我们的撰稿人和我们的读者之间展开对话，以便就选定的研究领域产生长远的观点和广泛的讨论。一个重要的考虑是确定那些不受传统年代划分的限制，但可以使早期研究人员与现代研究人员接触的主题，目的是制作合作撰写的文章，阐述他们共享的专业领域，并为活跃在构成当代意大利研究作为一门学科或一组学科和方法论问题的许多不同领域的读者提供富有成效的思考。本期特刊的每一篇文章都是两到三名学者合作对话的结果，他们被邀请以对写作团队来说最有成效的方式对提出的论点做出回应。当然，他们被要求反思他们认为意大利研究对特定领域做出的特殊贡献。我们还邀请他们审查他们的主题，既是从长期或较新的学术工作传统演变而来的，也是为未来重要的发展提供空间的。因此，选定的选题已经在不同程度上促进了意大利研究作为一门学科的重塑或重新定位，以及目前正在发展的不同方法或理论框架被视为与意大利研究相关的方式。合作写作具有特殊的意义：它本身就是一种学术写作模式，它已经从我们期刊研究的边缘走向主流，在过去的几年里，看到了越来越多的联合撰写的文章和合作(以短论文、圆桌讨论和微型特刊的形式)；这种发展反映了学者之间参与的新模式和扩展学科专业知识的愿望。为我们的特刊确定主题不可避免地是具有挑战性的，读者无疑会对所选标题和文章内容中的排除和包含感到惊讶。在我们关于特别问题的初步讨论中，我们从一大套可能的主题开始，试图确定允许阐明一系列方法、理论和关切的类别。一些主题的确定是基于它们在几乎所有与意大利研究有关的部门和中心中的长期和持续的突出地位；另一些标题的制定是为了让我们的撰稿人在广泛构思的范围内适应更成熟的方法或学术领域以及新出现的方法或领域。我们的几个主题提供了反思学术实践正在演变的方式的机会
The four quarterly numbers of Italian Studies that will be published in 2020 mark the seventy-fifth issue of the journal. To mark the occasion, the Senior Editors decided to commission a set of collaboratively produced articles for a Special Issue dedicated to ‘Key Directions in Italian Studies’. For Volume 75 of the journal, the moment seemed right to invite colleagues to join us for an examination of areas of research that we view as representative of the state of the art in 2020 of Italian Studies as a discipline, and key to its future development. We sought to identify several broad thematic areas that are currently particularly productive across the arc of research fields and methods that the journal addresses, seeking to open dialogues between our contributors and our readers that could produce a long view and broad spread of discussion relating to the selected research areas. An important consideration was to identify topics that were not confined by traditional chronological divides but could put researchers in the early period into contact with researchers in the modern period, for the purposes of producing collaboratively written articles addressing their shared areas of expertise, and offering fruitful reflections for readers active in the many and diverse fields that make up contemporary Italian Studies as a discipline or set of disciplinary and methodological concerns.Each of the articles in this Special Issue is the result of collaborative dialogue between two or three scholars, who were invited to shape their response to the argument proposed in the way that seemed most fruitful to the writing team. They were asked to reflect, of course, on what they felt to be the particular contribution made by Italian Studies to the specified area. We also invited them to review their topics both as evolving from a tradition of scholarly work, long-standing or more recent in nature, and as offering scope for important future developments. Thus, the selected topics have already contributed to varying degrees to a reshaping or reorienting of Italian Studies as a discipline, and to the way that different methodologies or theoretical frameworks are seen as pertinent to Italian Studies research as it is currently developing. Co-writing holds a special significance: it is in itself a mode of academic writing that has moved from the margins to the mainstream of research in our journal which, over the past few years, has seen an increasing number of co-written articles and collaborations (in the shape of clusters of short essays, roundtable discussions, and mini-Special Issues); such developments reflect new modes of engagement between scholars and a desire to stretch disciplinary expertise. The identification of topics for our Special Issue was inevitably challenging, and readers will no doubt be surprised by both the exclusions and the inclusions in the chosen titles and article contents. Beginning with a large set of possible themes in our initial discussions about the Special Issue, we attempted to identify categories that would permit a range of methods, theories, and concerns to be articulated. Some themes were identified on the basis of their long-standing and continuing prominence within almost all departments and centres concerned with Italian Studies; other titles were formulated so as to let our contributors accommodate more established approaches or areas of scholarship alongside newly emerging ones within a broadly conceived remit. Several of our themes have provided opportunities for reflection on the way that scholarly practice is evolving
