Etty Hillesum. One hundred years later (1914-2014)

International Conference

Esther (Etty) Hillesum writings are a crucial historical document, as they report on the extreme evil of racial persecutions and life in lagers. They are a reflection on the value and the meaning of life, love and death. The International Conference “Etty Hillesum. Cento anni dopo (1914-2014)” (December 9-10, 2014, at Ca' Foscari University in Venice, Italy) aims to assess the works of this important witness from the 20th century.

France et Italie (1956-1967)

les rapports bilatéraux ; le cadre européen et les rivalités économiques ; les cultures politiques ; les rapports cinématographiques et audiovisuels ; les échanges artistiques et culturels

Ce colloque international, organisé par trois membres du Gerci, Leonardo Casalino, Alessandro Giacone et Marco Maffioletti, examine les médiations et les rapports franco-italiens de 1956 à la veille de 1968, une période de grand dynamisme économique, social et politique. Après avoir observé les rapports diplomatiques et bilatéraux entre la France et l'Italie, les communicants étudierons leurs rivalités économiques au sein d'un marché européen en cours d'unification et les différences qui pendant cette époque ont marqué leurs cultures politiques. Ce colloque se terminera par des communications sur les rapports entre le cinéma, l'audiovisuel, l'art et la culture italien et français.

Between home, family and business

Unpaid family and work obligations for the market from the end of the Middle Ages to the contemporary era

Ce colloque constitue une occasion de bilan des débats et d’approfondissement des nouvelles pistes thématiques ouvertes lors des rencontres précédentes du programme « Travail en famille, travail non rémunéré. Formes et acteurs du travail domestique productif en Europe (XV^e-XXI^e siècle) ». Le colloque portera, en premier lieu, sur les obligations légales, familiales et plus largement sociales liées aux activités marchandes effectuées par les membres de la famille dans la sphère domestique. En deuxième lieu, il a pour but de donner des aperçus qualitatifs et quantitatifs sur les retombées matérielles et immatérielles des multiples formes du travail en famille non rémunéré pour le marché. La dimension domestique ou extra-domestique des activités exercées par les différents membres de la famille sera analysée en fonction de leur caractère marchand et des différentes formes de leur (éventuelle) rémunération. La frontière entre prestations dues et travail impliquant une rétribution est cependant loin d’être nette et définie, ce que les débats autour du concept même de travail et de salaire, pour les époques anciennes comme pour celles contemporaines, montrent efficacement.

Democratic Highbrow. Bloomsbury between élite and mass culture

Democratic Highbrow. Bloomsbury tra élite e cultura di massa

Bloomsbury group represented a new way of living and working which marked a definitive break with the Victorian tradition and paved the way to modernity in the English culture. Between the wars the group was perceived by the British public alternatively as a stronghold of culture and civilization against barbarism and as the despicable epitome of modernist intellectual elitism. Nowadays Bloomsbury is a major presence in the cultural industry but, at the same time, it continues to raise questions and stimulate critical reflections: was it a coterie or a democratic avant-garde, an intellectual authority or an eccentric circle that “lived in squares and loved in triangles?” These are the issues that the conference seeks to address in a multidisciplinary perspective encompassing sociology of cultural processes and history of art, economics and history of ideas, literature and cultural history.

Between Earth and sea

Via Aurelia and the topography of the Latium and Tuscany coastline

For the last decades, the studies carried out along the Italian coasts have been a favoured field of research, concerning some specific aspects of the antique and mediaeval society, its links with the sea, and with other men beyond the sea. Within that context, the coasts of Lazio and Tuscany reveal themselves to be particularly interesting: they are the witnesses of a wealthy business network, along the coast lines, centred on the via Aurelia, and the numerous harbours and mooring areas, used since ancient days. This colloquium is dedicated to reopening a debate among experts, thanks to the contributions of various research approaches, and with a particular attention to the Tuscia area.

Renovatio, inventio, absentia imperii

From the Roman Empire to Contemporary Imperialism

At the heart of the present conference will be the ‘reception’, ‘Nachleben’ or ‘permanence’ of the Roman Empire, of an idea and a historical paradigm which since Classical Antiquity has supported the most widespread claims to obtain and consolidate power. The focus will be on ‘culture’, this latter concept intended in a broad sense, i.e. including not only the arts, architecture, literature etc., but also philosophy, religion and, most importantly, discourse. As such, a wide array of themes will be subjected to academic scrutiny. Whereas the main focus will be on Europe and North America, this conference will also reach out towards non-Western contexts, whether or not directly related to the Roman example.
