Focus
The name Neue Horizonte (new horizons) may on first sight appear as a worn-out metaphor, but is an existential one in the case of this journal and has been chosen for several reasons: as a reference to the journal Horizonte, which moved and extended the horizon of the Italianistic landscape for more than a decade within the German speaking countries, hence revealing it as a relative border only, and as an allusion to the new form of publication, which supports the idea of openness and wideness whilst continuing and elaborating the formerly chosen focuses.
Horizonte — Neue Serie • Nuova Serie provides a space for contributions to all topics and periods of Italian literature and culture with an emphasis that lies, however, on the modern and contemporary. The journal connects theoretical reflection on culture with the presentation of current literary patterns. The wide range of topics will be of interest to scholars but also appeal to lovers of Italian literature, culture and language. The creation of a truly independent forum for the young scholars in Italy and the German speaking countries – free of the multiple interests in effect within today’s scientific community’s structures – remains a particular objective of the new journal. Horizonte — Neue Serie • Nuova Serie continues last but no least the tradition of the former journal Horizonte of presenting in each edition – as a sort of poetic embodiment of its program – literary texts which are published or appear in translation for the first time.
The title Horizonte plays programmatically with the multitude of possible and variable points of views, the agility of knowledge and the intended motion between various disciplines. It does, however, acknowledge that looking at something always leads to the looking away from something else. The horizon’s quality of being an insoluble border represents an obstacle to perception which stimulates the imagination – the horizon is after all the furthermost frontier of visibility, beyond which the spaces of the imaginary and the infinite open up.
