Welcome to mediAzioni, an online journal promoted by the Department of Interpreting and Translation, University of Bologna at Forlì. mediAzioni is an international open access, refereed journal that promotes interdisciplinary work in the humanities. It welcomes contributions from/cutting across the following areas: intercultural and gender studies, literature and theatre, literature for children and young adults, linguistics, humour, media and film studies, history, translation and interpreting, accessibility, Child Language Brokering, terminology. mediAzioni (mediation) was chosen as a title because of what it evokes: media, action, mediation, and all that these notions imply – the space in between, which, while being compressed in the name of the journal, opens up to a multiplicity of meanings and interpretations. With mediAzioni we wish to encourage thinking across strictly defined disciplinary boundaries and highlight the value of an interdisciplinary approach in the belief that the resulting cross-fertilization cannot but be enriching. Mediating the differences between languages, cultures, histories, nations, identities, genders, and peoples is one of the most pressing concerns of our times, and one that we, as teachers and scholars, feel challenged to face every day. That is precisely what the name mediAzioni refers to: “mediation” in the sense of understanding and negotiating differences, but also in the sense of taking action, that is “doing” things with language, promoting change in culture and society, and opening up new ways of thinking through research, imagination and passion. For this reason, mediAzioni is an ever-changing journal. Each regular issue is opened with the first contribution that has been positively assessed by qualified referees, and other contributions are added until December 31st of the same year.
