The italian fascism through the prism of contemporary arts
Reinterpretations, montages, deconstructions
In a more or less explicit way, daily news bring to our attention the survival of forms and values which rely on fascist imagery. Thinking about fascism through the prism of contemporary arts means to deal with a term whose significance has to be read at least in a double sense: on one hand, the historical experience of the regime that ruled Italy from 1922 to 1943; on the other hand, by extension, the very form of totalitarian power. Contemporary arts’ gaze seems to work on these two different albeit related topics: the Italian fascism as historical event (faced with all the troubles of its memories), and the fascism as the fundamental process of power’s relationship and rituals.

The imaginaries of translation
Following the great success of our workshop on the “Imaginaries of Translation”, which took place at the University of Sorbonne-Nouvelle on the 3rd and 4th of March 2017, we now wish to extend our reflections on the theory and practice of translation and to encourage innovative and comparative perspectives.

Les objets dans la littérature italienne contemporaine
Depuis toujours partie intégrante des procès de représentations, les objets ont joué un rôle central dans la littérature du dernier siècle, d’un point de vue à la fois structurel et symbolique. L’objectualité, ou comme Calvino le disait au début des années soixante « la mer de l'objectivité », a fini par engloutir l’individualité, en dissolvant la conscience dans la prolifération de la présence matérielle. Le colloque vise à explorer le rôle des objets dans la littérature italienne de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, en arrivant jusqu’aux premières années du XXIe. L’étude des objets constitue un moyen privilégié pour analyser le potentiel expressif d’œuvres contemporaines ; elle représente une stratégie d’interprétation adaptée à dévoiler, à travers la « fonction objectale », la signification de nombreuses expériences narratives et poétiques.

Modernism and Rurality: Mapping the State of Research (EAHN 2018 - Tallin)
5th European Architectural History Network International Meeting, in Tallinn, June 2018
This session aims to address, from a historical perspective, the relation between, on one side, architecture and the related disciplines, and on the other side, agriculture and rurality at large. We welcome proposals specifically mapping case studies concerned with large-scale agricultural development and/or colonization schemes conceived and (but not necessarily) implemented in Europe and beyond during modern times (late 18th-20th century), strongly connected to nation- and State-building processes, and to the modernization of the countryside. We are particularly interested in those examples which aimed to “make the difference” in both scale and numbers, entailing radical reshaping of previously uninhabited or sparsely populated areas into new, planned, “total” rural landscapes.

Status and Social Conditions under the Risk of Social Demotion
Western and Southern Europe, 16th to Early 19th centuries
Le déclassement social est aujourd’hui un défi politique majeur pour les sociétés occidentales et un objet d’études central pour les sciences sociales. L’historiographie des sociétés d’Ancien Régime s’est davantage intéressée à la mobilité ascendante qui était aussi plus productrice de sources, elle a néanmoins abordé le phénomène du déclassement à travers l’étude des cas de dérogeances de la noblesse, celle des pauvres honteux et des institutions d’assistance. Ce colloque entend se pencher sur les discours tenus sur le déclassement en interrogeant l’usage de catégories d’analyse mobilisées par les historiens pour étudier les sociétés anciennes.

Metamorphosis: the landslide of identity
Dans le cadre du projet « À partir d'Ovide », l'association culturelle Rodopis organise un colloque titré Metamorfosi: identità in smottamento (Metamorphosis: the Landslide of Identity), qui aura lieu à Urbino (Italie) le 30 novembre et 1 décembre 2017. Le colloque se propose d'analyser dans une perspective multidiscliplinaire (la participation de sociologues, anthropologues, historiens, philosophes, experts de littératures anciennes et modernes est souhaitée) les problèmes posés par les notions d'indentité, alterité, transformation, soit à partir de l'examen de cas d'études, soit à partir d'une perspective epistémologique.

La deleuziana, a journal that desires
This issue on Earth-Refrain War Machines seeks to analyse war machine refrains in their relations to the Earth. This gives rise, among others, to the following concerns. Firstly, we’d like to return to Deleuze and Guattari’s characterisation of the different ages of the Earth and more specifically ask, in the hope of better understanding those ages and ours, if there is a refrain proper to modernity, and if so what it could be. Secondly, what should we think of the promises and dangers of the re-enactment of Romanticism? Are we not living at a time when Romantic refrains are being reinvested in the fight against the shock doctrine? Thirdly, acknowledging the recent rise of diverse reactionary and authoritarian powers, what have we to say about today’s capitalist and neo-fascist refrains? What’s new about them and therefore how should we distinguish them from their past actualisation? Lastly, but maybe most importantly, which clinical perspective are we left with? For instance, how can we move toward greater pluralism and what hope can we have for the intersectional potentialities of transversality?

Anthropologies of the United States of America
Views from near and from afar
This conference is an interdisciplinary research project intended for scholars from various fields. The aim is to discuss a historically, anthropologically and politically central country: the United States. Is it possible to see the United States as a country to be examined from multiple points of view – both from near and from afar – with particular interest in the current “anthropological” culture, while also paying attention to history and making predictions about the future? Specialists and enthusiasts from various backgrounds are invited to respond from specific perspectives, in order to compare and contrast different interpretations of the “American galaxy”. To this end, both studies of a theoretical nature and case studies are encouraged.

Languages of urbanization and visions of the city
This section will focus on the representations of urban spaces and urban lives in the Americas, with special regard to the languages and the social practices that convey – or that have conveyed in the past – the idea of “making the city”. We are especially interested both in grassroots movements of urban resistance and in counter-hegemonic representations of the urban space. We welcome contributions on practices of re-appropriation of the city, on the strategies of resistance to the processes of gentrification, on the relationship between urban space and subaltern groups (minorities and/or subcultures) and on the ways in which the urban space has been represented, reimagined or invented in literature, cinema, comics, music, photography, television, visual arts.

Ludovico Ariosto - satires and life
Ludovico Ariosto: le Satire e la vita
L’interprétation des Satires semble, depuis des décennies et malgré de nombreuses contributions originales (Floriani, Corsaro, Berra, Villa, etc.), conditionnée par les brillantes lectures de Santorre Debenedetti (dont l’article fondateur, Intorno alle Satire dell’Ariosto, date de 1944) et de son neveu et disciple Cesare Segre, auteur de la magistrale édition critique du texte (ses notes remontent aux Opere minori de 1954). Pour une part au moins, suivant en cela une habitude critique extrêmement ancienne, Debenedetti et Segre tendaient à demander au texte de fournir des données biographiques et historiques qui servaient ensuite de base pour interpréter et comprendre, y compris d’un point de vue strictement littéraire, la poésie satirique ariostesque.La recherche historique sur le milieu des Este ou sur Ferrare a beaucoup progressé, et il semble donc urgent de relire les Satires à la lumière de ces nouvelles approches et connaissances.

Between France and Italy - exchange and intellectual networks in the 19th century
Transalpina journal issue 21
La revue Transalpina, depuis sa fondation dans le cadre de l’équipe de recherche caennaise Identités, Représentations, Échanges (France-Italie), s’est régulièrement intéressée à la problématique de la réception de la littérature italienne en France. Dans les volumes précédents, l’attention des chercheurs s’était portée sur la traduction et la vie des productions italiennes dans le contexte français, sur l’histoire de la circulation des textes et des idées de la péninsule dans l’hexagone et sur différentes traces des auteurs italiens de l’autre côté des Alpes. Ces publications, auxquelles il faut ajouter d’autres ouvrages collectifs publiés à Caen et à Paris, ont porté souvent sur un intervalle chronologique large, pour souligner la permanence et les constantes dans les échanges intellectuels entre France et Italie.

Blank spaces. A Survey on absence
Lacuna is the term which conventionally refers to the void generated, within a text, by the loss of some elements: letters, words or even sentences. It is a cavity collecting a writing suspension able to compromise the whole discourse meaning. However, the lack of words is not always identifiable as a space of incongruence or philological desperatio. Rather, it can emerge as a representational criterion and be defined as the result of external contingencies or as a voluntary or unaware communication forswearing.

Small Mediterranean Spaces. Islands, Presìdi and enclave
Territorial control in the Mediterranean geopolitics of the Modern Age (16th - first half of 19th c.)
The workshop will pay particular attention to the history of the Mediterranean of such small spaces and to the strategies adopted by the states in order to control them. The workshop aims at reconstructing a whole scenario, in which these small entities help outlining a history of the Mediterranean in which such small territories are not only included, but also assessed for their past importance.
