Revista de L'Alguer

The Revista de l'Alguer was a Catalan-language multidisciplinary scientific annual published in Alghero, Sardinia, between 1990 and 1999. It was created and directed by the linguist and poet Rafael Caria (Alghero, 1941–2008), a corresponding member of the Philological Section of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans and the first Algherese member of that institution. The journal was published by the Centre de Recerca i Documentació Eduard Toda, which Caria himself directed. Over its ten volumes, it established itself as a distinctive cultural and academic voice from Alghero, a Catalan-speaking city on the Italian island of Sardinia. The publication was conceived as a pluridisciplinary scientific annual in Catalan, made in and for Alghero. Its subtitle changed over time: from volume 1 to volume 3 it was described as a "Periòdic de cultura dels Països Catalans" (Periodical of the Culture of the Catalan Countries), and from volume 4 to the final volume 10 as an "Anuari acadèmic de cultura catalana" (Academic Annual of Catalan Culture). Although the journal's primary language was Catalan, not all articles were in Catalan; several were published in Italian, according to the linguistic preferences of the authors. The research published in the Revista de l'Alguer spanned twenty-two different scientific fields, from anthropology to toponymy, including philology, philosophy, folklore, pedagogy, and music. The journal counted on the collaboration of more than seventy researchers from Italy, Catalonia, and other countries in Europe and the Americas. Its scientific committee was initially composed of Joan Ainaud de Lasarte, Bruno Anatra, Antoni M. Badia i Margarit, Joan Bastardas, Jordi Carbonell, Enric Casassas, Luisa D'Arienzo, Antoni Ferrando, Ramon Folch i Guillén, Emili Giralt, Giuseppe Grilli, Josep Maria Llompart, Francesco Manconi, Josep Massot i Muntaner, Joan Peana, Vicent Pitarch, Matilde Salvador, Miquel Tarradell, Franca Valsecchi, Francesc Vallverdú, Joan Veny, and Pere Verdaguer. Later, August Bover, Renzo Chessa, Ignazio Delogu, and Giovanni Lobrano joined at various moments. In addition to Rafael Caria, the editorial committee included, at different times, Joaquim Arenas, Andreu Bosch, August Bover, Renzo Chessa, Carles Duarte, Àngels Massip, Maria Pilar Perea, Aldo Sari, and Anna Segreti. The editorial secretariat was formed by Giannella Bilardi, Esteve Campus, and Filly Chessa, with Annamaria Caria joining from the third volume and Roberto Pinto in the final volume. The publication and distribution of the journal received constant support from the Comune di Alghero (Municipality of Alghero) and the Generalitat de Catalunya, as well as, in various years, from the Banco di Sardegna, the Regione Autonoma della Sardegna (Autonomous Region of Sardinia), and the Azienda Autonoma di Soggiorno e Turismo di Alghero (Autonomous Tourist Board of Alghero). The journal ceased publication after its tenth volume in 1999. Today, the Revista de l'Alguer is part of the Hemeroteca Científica Catalana (Catalan Scientific Periodical Library) of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, where its back issues are available online. The current contact for the journal is August Bover i Font, and technical support is provided by the Hemeroteca Científica Catalana.

The Revista de l'Alguer was founded in 1990 by Rafael Caria, a linguist and poet from Alghero who was a corresponding member of the Philological Section of the Institut d'Estudis Catalans and the first Algherese member of that institution. Caria also directed the Centre de Recerca i Documentació Eduard Toda, the body that published the journal. The annual was conceived as a pluridisciplinary scientific publication in Catalan, made in and for Alghero, with the initial subtitle "Periòdic de cultura dels Països Catalans" (Periodical of the Culture of the Catalan Countries) for volumes 1 through 3. From volume 4 onward, the subtitle changed to "Anuari acadèmic de cultura catalana" (Academic Annual of Catalan Culture), reflecting a more academic orientation. Over its ten-year run, the journal published research across twenty-two scientific fields, including anthropology, biology, history, linguistics, literature, philology, philosophy, folklore, pedagogy, music, and toponymy. It attracted contributions from more than seventy researchers from Italy, Catalonia, and other countries in Europe and the Americas. While the journal's primary language was Catalan, several articles were published in Italian, according to the linguistic preferences of the authors.
