Members Rights

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

the Centro Studi Americanistici “Circolo Amerindiano”, in 0ver 40 years of activities has offered a space for the gathering of people and the exchange of ideas, where investigators and students could present their own work and discover the work of others, in different fields of study; where those interested in the cultures from the Americas could receive proper information; where our studies could become (as they did, through our countless activities) the instrument for the development of a new conscience on the Other, wherever and however it’s found.

Now the Centro Studi wants to extend this space and these activities, and it wants to offer its members the fruits of its long tradition of serious and passionate work and the credit acquired through it. Having access to the material, new spaces for the exchange of ideas and for publication, sponsorships and the avowal of their own investigations, there could be new opportunities for their activities.

Thus, the Centro Studi has created a new website with new sections, among which a Reserved Page and with new possibilities for participation.

With these changes we see take the task to publish and make our own Journal: Thule. Rivista italiana di studi americanistici accessible.

All this was done after a long period of development and great work.

It has become also a great challenge.

To you, Friends and Colleagues, we address ourselves now so you would walk this path with us. This is why we invite you to subscribe: this will give us a fundamental support, and to you many opportunities that we resume in the following list, found in the Members’ Rights.
