Tracking Innovation through Grey Literature

Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature

Innovation is a process manifested in and through grey literature. Both have their origins in knowledge generation and both demonstrate value for government, academics, business and industry through their uses and applications. In a way, innovation and grey literature are two sides of the same coinage. Innovation is the catalyst for positive change and grey literature is the measure of benchmarks in the further process of research and development. The goal of the Fourteenth International Conference on Grey Literature seeks to track the process of innovation by tracing the research life cycle and observing its convergence in the field of grey literature.

Visible and invisible: perceiving the city between descriptions and omissions

VI AISU Congress – Macro-Session II - Numbers

The conference will focus on the many ways in which the city has been described, narrated, portrayed and quantified in words, numbers and images over the centuries. Description and representation techniques from ancient and medieval times onwards provide an opportunity to initiate a comparison between different cities and contexts, seeking different ways of perceiving the urban whole in its full complexity.

Papacy, religious orders and international politics in the early modern age

Il seminario si propone di verificare quali ruoli giocarono gli ordini religiosi nella politica internazionale della Santa Sede: in che misura essi furono meri oggetti o strumenti? Furono in grado di dar vita - più o meno apertamente e per quali ragioni - a strategie in qualche modo autonome? Quale consapevolezza singoli o gruppi di religiosi elaborarono della propria identità in relazione ai condizionamenti della politica internazionale in un età di conflitti?

Narrating War

Words and images of war from street singers to the internet

One of the most significant aspects of recent historiographical work on war has been the attention paid to the cultural representations of conflict: the visual representation of war and its memory, language and rhetoric. This historiographical approach towards the subject of war has brought new attention to ways of representing war and the languages used to recount it. The First World War is usually seen as marking a new era; the unusual nature of the violence of this conflict, with the “disappearance of battle” and the mechanization of death, signalling the end of war as a place for generating men’s honour. But other moments in the history of western culture have seen the paradigm of war change in the accounts and narratives of contemporaries. Among these, the period of the Italian Wars of the sixteenth century, when the image of war transformed from a theatre of conflict between chivalric heroes to the anonymous encounters of armies.
