Controversies

The series welcomes manuscripts of any kind and disciplinary provenience devoted specifically to the study of controversy. These may be studies in the theory of controversy or any of its salient aspects, studies of the history of controversy forms and their evolution, case-studies of particular historical or current controversies in any field or period, edited collections of documents of a given controversy or a family of related controversies, edited proceedings of symposia where proponents of opposed views actually defend their views against each other’s objections, etc. The series will also act as a forum for "agenda-setting" debates, where prominent discussants of current controversial issues will take part. Since controversy involves necessarily dialogue, manuscripts focusing exclusively on one position will not be considered. Book proposals, preferably structured along the lines indicated in our Guidelines for Book Proposals, can be sent to the series editor, Giovanni Scarafile (giovanni.scarafileunisalento.it).
