La rivista «AOQU. Achilles Orlando Quixote Ulysses» nasce dall’esperienza di «Ottava rima», gruppo di ricerca sul poema in ottave come ricettore di generi. Essa si propone quale luogo di confronto sul modello epico nei suoi confini più allargati, fra spinte innovative e persistenze profonde: come sistema valoriale, proiezione di sé sulla storia e sulla società, auto-identificazione in rapporto all’altro, ideologia e immaginario; e naturalmente come genere caratterizzato da costanti e diffrazioni, e ripercorribile nel suo articolato manifestarsi - non necessariamente in forma letteraria - fino al presente. «AOQU» è dunque aperta a contributi di carattere scientifico in Italiano, Inglese, Francese, Spagnolo, sul ruolo dell’epica (come genere o come registro) nei differenti sistemi culturali, e prevede anche numeri monografici su specifici aspetti e questioni.
