Antigone, semestrale di critica del sistema penale e penitenziario, is the journal promoted by Antigone. It has an illustrious predecessor (the bimonthly magazine of the same name on the criticism of the emergency legislation in penal law promoted in the mid-1980s by personalities such as Massimo Cacciari, Luigi Ferrajoli, Luigi Manconi, Mauro Palma, Stefano Rodotà and Rossana Rossanda), and a cultural and scientific context of reference, identifiable in the tradition of Italian philosophy and sociology of law and critical criminology.
The journal is intended as a place for in-depth analysis of the issues of interest to the association and for the dissemination of studies and research on these issues, also from an international comparative perspective. A monographic part, dedicated to topics identified by the editorial staff and also prepared through specific calls for papers, is followed by sections devoted to legal updates, reviews of books, prison movies and, in general, to artistic productions concerning the penal and penitentiary system.
