  Ugo Niccolò Foscolo between Italy and Greece

  Tout en ayant délibérément choisi de s’exprimer en langue italienne, Ugo Foscolo n’oublia jamais son île natale, Zante ; il ne cessa de songer à la Grèce, ni de se soucier de son sort. Après sa mort, l’inscription dans le panthéon des grands italiens a fini par éclipser ses racines grecques, de sorte que son image devint, au fil du temps, plus italienne que ne l’avait été Foscolo lui-même. Ce colloque aspire à étudier et à mettre en relation les deux identités nationales de l’auteur, tant sur le plan historique que sur le plan littéraire et esthétique. Migrant et exilé, homme d’action et esprit philosophique, protagoniste des révolutions nationales du XIX^e siècle, Foscolo invite à une étude interdisciplinaire de sa condition interculturelle européenne et méditerranéenne et de ses cultures d’origine et d’adoption, dans le cadre d’un dialogue profitable entre ses deux patries.

  Climate and Societies in the Mediterranean during the Last Two Millennia

  Current State Of Knowledge and Research Perspectives

  This two-day international conference aims to highlight recent and challenging interdisciplinary studies dealing with complex historical climate/society interactions in Mediterranean during the last two millennia. The study of these existing connections can help in better understanding the role played by past climatic events in the eruption of regional conflicts, in forced migration and displacement of people, in periodically appearing infectious disease outbreaks or in subsistence crises like food shortages and famines Similarly, it seems necessary to identify and analyze socio-economic and technological responses (e.g. water supply systems) together with mitigation and general adaptation strategies, insofar as they existed, to cope with climate change.
