8. Articles on “Infidels, Enemies or Humanists? The European-Italian “Renaissance” and the Fictional Imaginary of the Muslim-Ottoman Turk” for a Special Issue of the Journal “Religions”

This issue focuses on the inter-connection between the Ottoman world and the Western Europe in the Quattrocento and Cinquecento; in specific, the idea is to work on the reciprocal imaginary that the Ottoman sultanate and the European-Italian potentates reciprocally played in this specific age. The argument is open to a multi-disciplinary approach able to consider the historical, religious, political, artistic, and literary approaches as international relations topics.

Deadline for manuscripts: 30 September 2024.
