CESURA - Rivista è espressione delle posizioni critiche e storiografiche del Centro Europeo di Studi su Umanesimo e Rinascimento Aragonese – CESURA, nella sua duplice configurazione di associazione e di centro interuniversitario internazionale. Riflette la vocazione all'interdisciplinarietà e all'integrazione di diverse discipline (in particolare letteratura, filologia, linguistica, storia, arte) dimostrata negli incontri seminariali degli ultimi anni: nel più alto sguardo prospettico che li ha caratterizzati, l'espressione letteraria, la testimonianza documentale, la rappresentazione artistica si sono sempre integrate e la dimensione artistico-culturale non si è mai separata da quella ideologica e dottrinale. La vocazione della rivista, dunque, è riprodurre sinteticamente l'intrinseca varietà e la coesa interazione dei modelli e delle attestazioni storico-culturali dell'Umanesimo e del Rinascimento che si generarono nel Regno dell'Italia meridionale e nella Corona d'Aragona.
