Peoples and cultures of the world
In this interdisciplinary conference we aim to study different peoples and cultures of the world by taking into account the various ways peoples and cultures define themselves and others, thus shaping their identies. We aim to explore the complex relationships being established between cultural dynamics and identites in their spatial and/or chronological dimensions. We would like to focus on the variety of cultures in the world, on their diversity comparatively studied, but we are also specially inclined to discuss top-down or externally imposed politics and the types of resistance used by natives to escape these hegemonic strategies. We invite papers that analyse peoples and cultures (social communities, ethnic groups, indigenous minorities, etc.) considering their specific features and differences, possibly taking into account the theorizations underlying the construction and deconstruction of colllective identities. In this sense, we are interested in the role played by the scholar analyzing different cultures and their spatial dynamics, often fluid and somewhat controversial according to a political perspective.

Conference, symposium - Geography
Territorialising modern spaces
Europe-Overseas, 15th-19th centuries; First session
Cette rencontre propose une réflexion collective sur les actions, les projets, les figurations et les imaginaires visant à la construction des territoires. Ce phénomène est trop volontiers envisagé comme un simple cadre explicatif ou un élément d’explication globale se suffisant à lui-même. Au contraire, la réalité de ce qu’est le territoire doit être comprise dans un contexte spécifique : celui de l’expansion européenne entre les XVe et XIXe siècles. On peut le définir le territoire en tant qu’espace qu’un groupe humain s’approprie tout à la fois sur le plan politique et judiciaire, économique et religieux. Il constitue aussi un lieu de construction identitaire et communautaire, dans lequel une histoire commune se fonde notamment sur les pratiques religieuses et la croyance en un destin providentiel partagé. Il est enfin, à l’époque moderne, l’objet d’une institutionnalisation et l’enjeu d’un pouvoir éminent.

Far from the eyes, far from the agenda?
Political parties and activism in the MENA: between innovation, resistance and resilience
The 14th Conference of the Italian Society of Middle East Studies will focus this year on the topic of “Paths of Resistance in the Middle East and North Africa”. With our panel “Far from the eyes, far from the agenda? Political parties and activism in the MENA: between innovation, resistance and resilience” we seek original papers that elaborates on new, renewed or long-standing parties in the above contexts and that contribute theoretically, empirically and/or methodologically to understand the different trajectories of change and continuity.

The panel will examine the practices and themes of Libyan resistance, defined as the concrete expression of the dialectical tension between the political and institutional centers of power and the social movements, group actors, or individuals that opposed them, covering the chronological span from the Ottoman reconquest in 1835 to the Jamāhīriyya’s fall in 2011.

Feeding death - funerary rituals and alimentary practices in the Alpes and Himalayas
Les pratiques et les gestes funéraires constituent une prérogative uniquement humaine depuis au moins 100.000, datation attribuée par les archéologues aux sépultures de Skhül (Mugharet es-Skhül), en Moyen Orient, les plus anciens exemples de sépulture volontaire de l’espèce des Homo Sapiens. Les récentes découvertes archéologiques des équipes dirigées par Aldenderfer et Eng (2016) dans le Upper Mustang (Népal) ont mis en évidence des aperçus inédits de l’histoire des populations himalayennes de haute altitude et de leurs rituels de la mort. Ce colloque permettra aussi d’aborder des aspects secondaires inhérents les rituels funéraires tels que certaines pratiques alimentaires spécifiques, appelées à jouer un rôle précis sur le plan social et symbolique.

A global history of free ports
Capitalism, commerce and geopolotics (1600-1900)
Exactly how free ports arose in early-modern Europe is still subject to debate. Livorno, Genoa and other Italian cities became famous as major examples of a particular way of attracting trade. Between the late eighteenth and the nineteenth century the existence of free ports – as specific fiscal, cultural, political and economic entities with different local functions and characteristics – developed from an Italian and European into a global phenomenon. While a general history of free ports – from their first emergence to the present-day special economic zones – has never been written, this research network aims to pave the way for such an enterprise. The history of free ports research network is organising a number of conferences in the next years, in order to work towards a standard publication and interactive research platform for the history of free ports from the XVIth to the early XXth century.

Metodologia, temi, fonti
A cent’anni dalla fine del Primo conflitto mondiale e a quarant’anni dall’approvazione della cosiddetta Legge Basaglia, si rinnova l’attenzione della storiografia sui processi di alienazione mentale, sulla loro comprensione e sul loro trattamento. A fronte di un crescente interesse, soprattutto da parte della storiografia internazionale, verso questo genere di tematiche, in Italia persiste un atteggiamento di sospetto e diffidenza, in parte dovuto alla ridotta conoscenza delle possibilità offerte da un dialogo tanto affascinante quanto rischioso. Quali sono i rapporti tra storiografia e psichiatria? Quali strumenti deve padroneggiare lo storico per una adeguata problematizzazione dell’argomento? Quale uso fare delle fonti psichiatriche? Quali risultati sono stati raggiunti in questi anni dagli storici italiani che hanno affrontato il tema? Questi sono soltanto alcuni degli interrogativi che il confronto tra le due discipline solleva.

First Biennial International Conference on Eugenio Montale
First Biennial International Conference on Eugenio Montale
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1975, Eugenio Montale (1896-1981) spent thirty-three years of his life in Milan (more than a third of his entire existence), from 1948, when at the age of fifty-two he was taken on by “Corriere della Sera”, until his death in a Milanese hospital at the age of eighty-five. During this protracted residency in Milan, Montale published all his major poetic collections except Ossi di seppia and Le occasioni.

Spaces, Norms, and Representations (Europe and Mediterranean, 14th-19th centuries)
Cet atelier doctoral de cinq jours permettra d’interroger la place des minorités dans des espaces et des temps divers. Alors que l’Europe n’en finit pas de se confronter à la question de la place qu’elle peut et qu’elle veut faire à des minorités extrêmement diverses (nationales, ethniques, religieuses, immémorialement implantées ou à peine arrivées, etc.), il paraît nécessaire de réfléchir aujourd’hui à la place des minorités sur la longue durée et de manière critique – c’est-à-dire, d’abord, en soumettant à une réflexion critique la notion de « minorité », trop couramment acceptée sans examen.

Multi-ethnic cities in the Mediterranean world
History, culture, heritage
This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of Mediterranean cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We would like to broaden the traditional horizons of our disciplines under the issues of our times, questioning the role of historical research and the forms of scientific communication nowadays, when old practices seem more challenged than ever by the overwhelming expansion of new technologies.

"Plural Africa" – Africa, pluralism in politics: knowledge, and social dynamics in time and space
ASAI - Fifth conference of the Association pour les études africaines en Italie
La cinquième conférence d’ASAI propose d'analyser les « Afriques » dans toute la pluralité de leurs phénomènes historiques, politiques, sociaux et culturels qui constituent la richesse du continent africain et peuvent déterminer, au sein de ses sociétés, de profondes asymétries. Deuxièmement, la conférence entend dépasser cette vision qui étouffe les « voix des Africains » et enraie leur interaction avec les forces politico-économiques et les phénomènes sociaux qui traversent le continent.

The effects of World War I on the Christian Churches in Europe (1918-1925)
11 November 1918 saw the end of the First World War, known at the time as the “Great War” (1914-1918) for its global scale, extreme destructivity and unseen casualty rates. Since effects of the first world conflict were enormous and the shock waves were felt for years and generations to come, the question arises about the impact of the Great War on religion and the established churches.
