Playful Participation as an Artistic Methodology: Histories, Curatorial Practices, Museums
The third issue of the new series of Senzacornice Journal. Studies on the Contemporary Art System takes as its point of departure two seminal experiences centered on spontaneous and self-managed play. These are understood both as models for social and communal construction through audience engagement, and as investigations into the mutually productive relationships between human and machine, and human and object: The Model – A Model for a Qualitative Society (Stockholm, Moderna Museet, 1968, curated by Palle Nielsen) and Play Orbit (London, Institute of Contemporary Arts, 1969, curated by Jasia Reichhardt). In both cases, the curators conceived play as a voluntary activity—mediated or unmediated—capable of restoring to the participant a freedom of action that is increasingly constrained or denied within institutional contexts.

Dante contemporaneo nella World Literature
Nell’ambito del progetto Dante World Writer ? (université de Lorraine, in collaborazione con le università di Strasburgo, Bologna e Verona) la giornata di studi Our brother Dante (Verona, 28 ottobre 2026) si interesserà al rimodellamento dell’immagine di Dante all’interno delle letterature mondiali (lontano dall’Italia), che compensa la distanza geografica con un avvicinamento se non un’annessione storica. Il Dante ‘fratello’ è una variante del Dante pop : implica lo sguardo destoricizzato del postmoderno, ma si situa all’interno del campo letterario e contribuisce a ridefinirlo, poiché solo un ‘certo tipo’ di letteratura si presta ad accogliere questo Dante ‘aggiornato’.

Omens, Thresholds, and Signs of Crisis in the Historiographical Construction of the Event
In a historical moment marked by political upheavals, social crises, environmental catastrophes, wars, and new forms of collective mobilization, reflecting on the conscious choices — and the conscious non-choices — that precede moments of historical rupture becomes a useful and necessary tool for understanding the deep connection between decision and transformation.The 2026 Student Conference seeks to shift the focus away from the final event to investigate the acts that immediately precede it and to ask whether it is possible to explore, with historical awareness, the suspended moment before rupture : the moment before the last straw.

Opportunities, limits and interpretation of the night from the Antiquity to the contemporary age
Everything about darkness differs according to a wide range of factors including historical age, society, gender, social class, occupations. In this sense, we mean everything that fills the night with life, from the economic, political, social, cultural and religious activities of human beings to the behavior of animals, anything that stimulates the senses, from shadows, street lighting, stars, nocturnal plant and animal life to human bodies shrouded in darkness. In short, everything that humans experience during the night, from everyday life to the parallel world of dreams or the unwelcome visitation of ghosts to pirate attacks. The purpose of the Student Conference is to analyze the night from a broad historical perspective, starting from the state of the art on the subject and arriving at new declinations of the night and its importance for human activities in the past.

The public use of subordinate writings in the early modern and modern periods
We invite contributions dedicated to the dynamics of the re-signification of subaltern writings in public space in the early modern and modern period. Ordinary writings produced by subaltern actors (popular classes, men and women, childhood) in the transition from the private to the public sphere should therefore be investigated with particular attention to the spaces used, the practices adopted, the strategies of visibility (or obscuration) chosen, the appropriations by civil society, the policies of preservation of popular memory and the pedagogical- didactic use of writings.

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the international online seminar “Quel corpo che (non) siamo”, organised by the young researchers of the Fonds Ricœur in Paris. Each session will be focused on the topic of the body, through the consideration of Paul Ricoeur's thought and from the perspective of other contemporary thinkers (e.g. Merleau-Ponty, Heidegger, Derrida, Henry, Levinas, Richir, Levi Moreno, Marcel, Waldenfels, Plessner, Simondon, Dufrenne...).

Call for papers - Representation
Although Liebermann often travelled to the Netherlands and considered it his “adopted homeland”, Italy also played an important role in his artistic development. Between 1878 and 1913 the painter made at least six journeys there, established contacts with Italian artists and critics and took part in international art exhibitions. His works also found their way into Italian collections. This conference seeks to investigate German-Italian artistic exchange more broadly between the 1860s and the 1930s. and aims to highlight German-Italian cultural exchange by looking at other contemporary personalities.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Sociologia, semiotica e arte negli immaginari e nelle rappresentazioni
This three-day international conference, organized in mixed mode at the University of Palermo and sponsored by the Dipartment "Cultures and Society" and the ADILLI, intends to adress the ways in which reality is represented and mediated today through digital technologies and creative approaches to the arts, both of those belonging to the more traditional classifications and of the more recent ones, and how the different narratives of today's contexts are “brought to the stage” by them. The interpretation of the theme, given its complexity and vastness, will be interdisciplinary and will have a dissemination approach, to allow for as broad a dialogue as possible between the partecipants and the public, in a spirit of research and sharing.

InterArtes Review - number 2
If the first issue of the journal dealt with the permeability of borders - the very sign of topicality - as a condition that supports an aesthetics of the hybrid, the second issue of InterArtes intends to ask how this process of hybridisation of different genres, content, themes, styles and languages changes the nature and structure of the text, what the final product born from this interaction is and whether it can give rise to multiple levels of reading generated by the presence of different expressive means. In this second issue, InterArtes opens up the possibility of taking an ontological viewpoint or a pragmatic or analytical perspective, with the ultimate aim of exploring a field of investigation that continues to offer broadening perspectives.

Turpin and the Carolingian epic: the intersection between cultures
Le colloque s’articulera autour de deux axes : la question de l’intertextualité, particulièrement accentuée dans la tradition de l’Historia Turpini, et l’imbrication des cultures, qui voit dans la tradition carolingienne un terrain privilégié de confrontation. À côté de problèmes d’ordre ecdotique, la réflexion touchera aux thèmes suivants : la contamination des traditions littéraires et des cultures, les personnages et les lieux, l’iconographie, les croisements entre l’épopée carolingienne et les pélerinages, les manières dont la matière a été remaniée au fil du temps.

Incontri Mediterranei - Terra Murata di Procida
XVI edizione della Scuola estiva di Procida
Telling the exile in the years of the pandemic is the appointment of the 16th edition of the Summer School of Procida, which every year seems to be characterized more as an opportunity for Mediterranean encounters, a meeting, between experiences, skills, different generations, around the sea among the lands, the sea that unites and does not divide even when its children are forced to leave the place where they are born and, crossing it, stop in a place where they grow up.

Negazione di un genere, genere della negazione
Summer School Non Fiction
Nella produzione letteraria mondiale si apprezza, da alcuni decenni, la proliferazione di forme di scrittura non finzionale (non fiction novel, docufiction, faction ecc.). La tensione tra realtà e finzione caratterizza da sempre la creazione letteraria, tuttavia il fenomeno è andato incontro di recente a una consacrazione ufficiale con l’assegnazione del premio Nobel per la letteratura alla giornalista Svetlana Aleksievitch. La crescente “fame” di realtà discende da una saturazione dell’immaginario finzionale o, invece, finisce per produrre nuove forme di fiction basate sulla rielaborazione di dati di realtà (documenti storici, cronache, atti giudiziari ecc.)? Una simile domanda investe oggi una serie di questioni teoriche – sociali, cognitive, antropologiche e politiche – prima fra tutte quella sulla delimitazione tra vero, falso e fittizio nell’epoca delle fake news.

La linguistica forense tra le scienze cognitive: team e modelli d'indagine
II convegno nazionale di linguistica forense
The second Italian conference of forensic linguistics has as its objective the presentation of forensic linguistics as a sector of applied linguistics, whose scientific nature is supported by a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach of the cognitive sciences that revolve around human language. We will then go on to analyze the value of linguistic evidence in the forensic field, within the current Italian jurisprudence. Through examples and contextualizations, the multidisciplinary team at the base of the working group "Forensix Hub Italia", spinoff of the “Società Italiana di Linguistica Forense”, will be presented. The works are sponsored by the research institute "Lo Stilo di Fileta", teaching center of the eCampus University. The researches presented in this conference were carried out in partnership with the Applied Linguistics Pole, also inside "Lo Stilo di Fileta"

Francesco Biamonti: archives, voices, and encounters
Cet appel invite à proposer des communications qui explorent l’écriture et la poétique de Biamonti en posant l’accent sur les rapports entre l’œuvre de l’écrivain ligurien et celles d’autres auteur-e-s qu’il appréciait, c’est-à-dire non seulement d’autres narrateurs-trices mais encore des poètes, des philosophes, des artistes et théoricien-ne-s. Toute analyse des liens entre biographie et textes sera la bienvenue, que ce soit du point de vue d’une approche ample ou de la dimension intertextuelle, afin de tracer un dessin aussi global que possible des voix et des présences qui habitent les écrits de cet auteur.

Conference, symposium - Representation
Le colloque Proust et les écrans souhaite interroger l’image d’un Proust de plus en plus « mondialisé », « numérisé » et hyper-contemporain que renvoient tous les écrans connectés de notre époque, autant de projections et de diffractions dont l’inventaire n’a pas encore été entrepris par la critique proustienne.
