About the Journal

Focus and Scope

JAm It! Journal of American Studies in Italy is an annual open-access and peer-reviewed journal publishing academic articles, book reviews, and interviews that favor innovative methodologies and contributions. JAm It! is recognized as a scientific journal by the Italian National Agency for the Evaluation of the University and Research Systems (ANVUR) for the Disciplinary Areas 10 (Antiquities, Philological-Literary and Historical-Artistic Sciences) and 14 (Political and Social Sciences).

JAm It! is open to a wide range of critical approaches to American Studies. The critical debates featured in JAm It! cover (but are not limited to) the fields of literature, cultural studies, history, linguistics, political science, and pedagogy. We encourage transdisciplinary and trans-hemispheric approaches and are especially eager to publish contributions that put in conversation European and non-European approaches to the study of North American culture, aesthetics, history, and politics.

Our thematic section is periodically open to submissions via CFPs and we accept unsolicited submissions for all the other sections of the journal. We especially invite submissions from Italian and international postgraduate and early-career researchers.

Prospective guest editors for the thematic section are invited to contact the editorial team at journal@aisna-graduates.online. A proposal should include a title, a description of the general issues addressed by the section, a list of specific topics to guide authors who wish to submit, and the name(s) and institution(s) of the coordinator(s).
