  Waging war and making peace

  European ways of inciting and containing armed conflict, 1648-2020

  The history of Europe is as much about violence and divisions – including religious wars, national clashes and ideological conflicts – as it is about shared cultural, social and economic accomplishments. If war has been such a constant presence in the history unfolding on the continent, the incessant efforts to limit its destructiveness are also an undeniable fact. It was such efforts that eventually led to the birth of Jus ad bellum and, ultimately, laid down the foundations of modern international law. From such a viewpoint, one might even find another definition of what European history might be. Some scholars have suggested that if war has structured a common European space, the containment of violence and the art of peacemaking have constituted ‘Europe’ in thought and practice.

  The postmodern condition. Forty years on

  Après 40 ans de la publication de La Condition postmoderne de Jean-François Lyotard, le colloque entend relancer la réflexion sur un concept qui, depuis près de trois décennies, a guidé l’interprétation de la structure politico-économique de la société occidentale, de ses dynamiques sociales et de sa production artistique et culturelle. Le colloque, ouvert à tous les domaines disciplinaires, a donc l’intention de partir du débat le plus récent afin d’interroger la dynamique et la physionomie de cette fin (ou de ce désir de « faire finir »), ses motivations (crise ? épuisement ?) et ses conséquences, ainsi que ses implications paradoxales : vu que le postmoderne est resté, grâce aux discours sur sa fin, au centre du débat sur le contemporain.

  Convegno Internazionale Curzio Malaparte e la ricerca dell'identità europea

  Il convegno, che si terrà a Torino il 6, il 7 e l'8 giugno, si propone di esplorare l’opera di Curzio Malaparte seguendo il filo rosso della sua riflessione sull’Europa, con l’intenzione di ricomporre e analizzare il complesso quadro dell’immaginario letterario che questo paesaggio rappresenta. A partire dai grandi mutamenti che subisce il panorama storico-geografico nel quale l’autore si muove negli anni 1920-1950, si vuole ragionare sullo sviluppo del tema dell’identità europea all’interno dell’opera malaprtiana per studiarne la poetica, le forme e le modalità espressive. L’obiettivo fondamentale del convegno è precisamente quello di ampliare l’indagine sulla narrativa malapartiana e rilanciare il dibattito sulla produzione letteraria dello scrittore, per individuare nuove prospettive di ricerca che investano sia l’area linguistico-letteraria sia quella storico-antropologica.
