Call for paper Journal
Psicologia Culturale. Contesti, sistemi di regole, attività.
Cultural Psychology. Contexts, systems of rules, activity.


Psicologia Culturale means to emphasize the roots of the “cultural 
paradigm”, that are largely originated in philosophic, historic and 
psychological Italian tradition of scholars like Giambattista Vico, 
Cattaneo and Gramsci. Psicologia Culturale also aims at disseminating 
the cultural reflection, namely within Italian psychology, as well as 
being an intellectual laboratory and a meeting place between research 
and theoretical experiences. Besides, taking into account the manifold 
contexts the “cultural perspective” deals with, the journal Psicologia 
Culturale means to provide a scientific reference to its heuristic 
potentialities. The journal will adopt a strong innovative approach and 
an interdisciplinary perspective, according to the scientific 
assumptions and the long research tradition of cultural psychology. The 
Scientific Committee, involving a number of Italian and International 
scholars working in this domain, will ensure the high scientific quality 
of the publications and the vivacity of the intellectual debate. The 
journal will publish mainly in Italian language, but contributions in 
English, French, Spanish and Portuguese will also be accepted.
