No. 35 (2025): I periodici illustrati nell'Italia del secondo dopoguerra: testo e immagine tra arte, cinema e letteratura
edited by Dario Boemia (Università IULM Milano), Elena Gipponi (Università IULM Milano), Jelena Lalatović (University of Zagreb) and Stefano Locati (Università IULM Milano).
Between 1945 and 1957, illustrated magazines became essential cultural tools in postwar Italy, navigating the tension between innovation and continuity with the fascist past. Periodicals emerged as visual and narrative laboratories, where text and image worked together to shape a new collective identity. Through periodical studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, the special issue explores changes in content, format, and language. Publications like Epoca, Tempo, Il Borghese, Grand Hôtel, and Civiltà delle macchine reflect the dynamic interplay between graphic tradition, modern aspirations, and shifting social contexts. Amid cultural revival, political reconciliation, and the resurfacing of national memory, illustrated magazines became privileged platforms to negotiate values, ideologies, and imaginaries.
