Instructions

In order to facilitate the final composition of the volume the Authors are kindly requested to follow the these editorial guidelines:

Line-spacing: 1,5

Font criteria: “Calibri” in 12-point.

(these settings correspond to a standard typewritten page)

Long vowels: macron (e. g.: “ō”) should be used rather than (e. g.: “ô”).

Foreign terms: all the foreign words, including trasliterations from extra-European languages, from Greek and from Latin should be written in italic, with the exception of terms used in common parlance (film, link, etc.).

Ideograms and non-latin alphabets: it's possible to use these kinds of scripts in their original form. Nevertheless, the term/sentence must be transliterated in latin alphabet and translated in brakets. The translation must be included in the text in case of single words; long sentences must be translated in a footnote.

Title and author: should be written by this order ahead of the text in two consecutive rows. Both should be drafted in “Calibri” 14-point (title) and 12-point (name of the author). Title and author should be separated from the text by a blank line, as follows:

Title of the article
by Name and Surname of the autor

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

Paragraphs: each paragraph marked by a title should be written in “Calibri” 12-point and separated by the text by a full stop. The text should be drafted by the next line, as follows:

Title of the paragraph

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

Quotes: all quotes should be written according the following system:

author – year of publication of the text – page(s);

the sentence must be set in “quotation marks”. In case of inner quotations, the text should be set in ‘inverted commas’, as follows: 

Il teatro nō “nasce dall'opera congiunta di Kan'ami e Zeami a cavallo tra XIV e XV secolo” (Ortolani 1990: 141-142).

Long quotes: quotations that span multiple paragraphs (4 or 5 lines) should be set as block quotations, between two blank lines.

Quote font criteria: “Calibri”, 11-point, 1,5 line spacing, one-centimeter left and right indent, as follows:

text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text

“Il teatro nō nasce dall'opera congiunta di Kan'ami e Zeami a cavallo tra XIV e XV secolo. Padre e figlio danno avvio ad una poderosa azione di revisione dei generi popolari allora in voga al fine di offrire alla nuova famiglia shogunale al potere un teatro che ne rispecchiasse il potere e la raffinatezza” (Ortolani 1990: 141-142).

Quotes translated by the author should be set as following:

“text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text ” (author – year of publication of the text: page(s); translated by the author)

Whether the article include further translations by the author, the first quote will also present a footnote, indicating “Where not differently specified, the translation ought be considered by the author”

Footnotes: notes in the text must be numbered consecutively using superscript and then inserted at the end of the paper (“Calibri”, 10-point, single-spaced). Any quotes included in a footnote should be compiled as following:

author – year of publication of the text – page(s)

1 La comparazione tra il Nāṭyaśāstra e la Poetica di Aristotele o tra quest’ultima e i Trattati di Zeami è affrontata, tra gli altri, da Gupt Bharat (1994), Sata Megumi (1989) e Sukla A.C. (1977).

or:

2 I motivi per cui tali comparazioni vengono condotte “non sono riducibili a uno soltanto ma, in genere, il focus principale è orientato a rilevare elementi di contiguità, similarità e parallelismo tra le opere poste in dialogo” (Casari in Azzaroni – Casari 2011: 14).

Captions: the images will be ordered by Arabic numbers and the text will be written in italic, 12-points, following a 1,5 line-spacing and centred.
