Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality
A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History
PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

From ritual to myth: Carnival in European culture
D’où vient la profonde exigence sociale du carnaval et quels sont les thèmes et les motifs que cette tradition a fait émerger dans notre héritage culturel et artistique ? Du drame bouffon à la farce et à la grande tradition de la commedia dell’arte italienne, des observations de Goethe sur le carnaval de Rome aux compositions de Schumann (Carnaval, op. 9) et de Saint-Saëns (Le Carnaval des Animaux), jusqu’à la peinture de Brueghel l’Ancien, Monet, Pissarro et Elrond, le carnaval a fasciné de nombreux auteurs. Le but de ce colloque est de recueillir et de combiner des idées innovatrices pour l’analyse ou la reformulation de ce mythe, en créant un pont entre les perspectives de lecture les plus diverses dans le domaine des humanités.

Caging the sky: artistic, historical and anthropological approaches to avaries
Ancrées dans le temps long de l’histoire des techniques, de la construction architecturale, de la domestication et de l’acclimatation par l’homme des espèces animales, les volières constituent un objet de recherche interdisciplinaire qui offre de multiples points d’entrée pour étudier les liens, présents ou passés, qui unissent les sociétés à leur environnement, pour explorer la place des oiseaux dans les imaginaires collectifs, mais aussi apprécier l’originalité des œuvres ou des constructions dont l’une des fonctions est de représenter, de signifier ou de rendre effectivement présente la vie animale.

Florence, a city of art and the French - the creation of a myth
La création d'un mythe
Ce colloque s’intéresse au rôle des Français dans la construction d’un mythe de Florence comme « ville d’art » à travers l’histoire, la littérature et les diverses formes de production artistique. À Florence, plus que partout ailleurs en Italie, la beauté de la ville, le paysage urbain, les grands artistes et leurs chefs-d’œuvre ont fait l’objet d’un véritable processus de mythification culturelle en Europe à partir du XIXe siècle. Florence apparaît ainsi dans la culture française comme un lieu central et idéal dont le souvenir et les représentations infusent très largement la conception générale des arts, de la Renaissance italienne ou encore du génie artistique.

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.

Caging the sky: art, history and anthropology of aviaries
Deeply rooted in the long history of technology, architectural construction, and the domestication and acclimatisation of animal species by humans, aviaries are an interdisciplinary research subject offering multiple approaches for studying both past and present bonds, connecting societies to their environment, to explore the place of birds in the collective imaginary, but also to appreciate the originality of works or constructions that were conceived in order to represent, signify or house animal life. They make a spectacle of the flight of birds for the external observer and tend to celebrate the captivity of animals as a state of “semi-freedom”.

Pathos. Forms and fortunes of literary emotions
The goal of this summer school is to explore the role of emotions in literature, namely with respect to the excess of pathos in different forms and times. Pathos has been a fundamental aspect of literature in every epoch. Great poetry has always foregrounded its ability to represent feelings, evoke intense and vivid moods, and elicit readers’ emotions and empathy. On the other hand, the novel – the genre dominating literary modernity – has been o!en accused of indulging in sentimental excess, giving too much space to melodramatic expression. Indeed, in Western cultures, there is a widespread suspicion towards pathos, which has o!en been identified as a shortcoming of literature. Great books – according to a common implicit assumption – can prompt reflection and laughter, but not tears: pathos only concerns lowbrow production. The summer school is an opportunity to engage in a reflection on issues related to pathos in literature in the last few centuries. Different perspectives will be taken into account: specific literary works, reader response theory, cognitive narratology, transmedia adaptation, and publishing history.

In/visible: representation, discourse, practices, “dispositifs”
Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference
How is the materiality of the visible world inscribed in its cultural representations? What are the more or less visible actors and mechanisms in the genesis of a cultural artefact? Should the visible / invisible binomial be considered as an anthropological constant or as the effect of a certain epistemological constellation? To what extent does visibility coincide with power and, therefore, how should one represent the in/visible? These are just some of the questions that cultural studies, in their innate interdisciplinarity and methodological heterogeneity can formulate with respect to the issue.

Bigger than a club: Supporters and historical identity
Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea invite les chercheurs à engager une réflexion sur la manière dont l'histoire est « fabriquée » et utilisée par les supporters et les groupes d'ultras. En fait, il existe un récit historique officiel réalisé par des clubs sportifs et des clubs de supporters officiels, maiségalement un récit « non officiel », produit spontanément par des groupes de supporters. Tous les deux s'inspirent de l'histoire du sport pour (ré)affirmer le rôle historique des équipes dans une perspective historique.

VII giornata di studi dottorali del Rome Art History Network (RAHN)
Il tema delle fake news è di grande attualità e rilevanza per i mezzi e i fini con cui queste vengono messe in circolazione: esse hanno il potere di alterare la realtà e diffondere notizie prive di fondamento. Invero, la manipolazione delle notizie e delle immagini è sempre stata presente nelle discipline umanistiche, mossa da intenti encomiastici, sociologici o politici. La giornata dottorale del 2019 vuole indagare la modalità in cui l’alterazione del messaggio è stata assunta come verità nella storia dell’arte. Si intende analizzare l’iter del processo artistico e la conseguente creazione delle fake news: così, dall’idea della committenza si passa all’elaborazione dell’artista fino ad arrivare alla ricezione del pubblico. L’oggetto artistico diventa, dunque, veicolo di una realtà alterata. Spaziando dall’antichità al contemporaneo, il convegno vuole mettere in risalto le diverse metodologie impiegate dai dottorandi per delegittimare le fake news nella storia dell’arte.

Migrations and circulations between Italy and France from the 19th century to the present day
À l’occasion de la présentation de l’exposition « Ciao Italia. Immigration et cultures italiennes en France 1860-1960 » à l’Institut français – Centre Saint-Louis, le colloque réunira des chercheurs français et italiens de différentes disciplines afin d’examiner divers aspects des flux migratoires entre l’Italie et la France à l’époque contemporaine. Il s’agit de souligner l’importance et la grande fluidité des mouvements de populations entre les deux pays depuis un siècle et demi. Ces migrations, d’une grande diversité géographique et sociale en fonction des circonstances, contribuent à façonner un espace circulatoire transalpin, cadre d’analyse qui permet de dépasser le traditionnel couple émigration / immigration. À l’heure où la question migratoire suscite des tensions entre la France et l’Italie, une perspective inscrite dans la durée doit permettre de saisir, au-delà des enjeux démographiques et économiques, les effets politiques et culturels de ces migrations du point de vue des rapports entre Français et Italiens.

Cultural mobility around Shakespeare's Rome
Mapping race and nation through performance
This seminar asks participants to consider the implications of race or nation on stage, on screen, and in installations, happenings, or other performance venues in Shakespeare’s Roman plays and how perceptions of race shift in different venues, at different historical moments, and even from person to person.

Quatrième colloque dans le cadre du Programme Le problème de la réappropriation par la philosophie des discours de savoir antérieurs (Colloque 1 : « La poésie archaïque comme discours de savoir », 28-29 novembre 2014 ; Colloque 2 : « La poésie dramatique comme discours de savoir », 21-22 mai 2015; Colloque 3: « Platon citateur : un exemple de réappropriation par la philosophie des discours de savoir antérieurs », 29-31 mars 2017). Faisant fond sur les résultats obtenus lors des trois colloques précédents (en cours de publication chez les Classiques Garnier), nous aurons à examiner les citations (directes ou indirectes) de Aristote non seulement aux poètes archaïques et classiques, mais également aux autres discours de savoir non philosophiques.

Si la vivacité du mythe florentin a été bien étudiée chez nos voisins européens, en particulier en Angleterre et en Allemagne, la présence des Français à Florence, l’importance du mythe florentin et ses développements intellectuels et artistiques en France ont été relativement négligés par la critique.

First Biennial International Conference on Eugenio Montale
First Biennial International Conference on Eugenio Montale
Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1975, Eugenio Montale (1896-1981) spent thirty-three years of his life in Milan (more than a third of his entire existence), from 1948, when at the age of fifty-two he was taken on by “Corriere della Sera”, until his death in a Milanese hospital at the age of eighty-five. During this protracted residency in Milan, Montale published all his major poetic collections except Ossi di seppia and Le occasioni.

Methodologies, objectives, perspectives
In the last four decades, scholars have begun to go beyond the traditional perspective of linguistic and literary studies, and to consider the translations as cultural practices and the result of various processes of cultural and intellectual “negotiation” between two different contexts. In recent years also historians have progressively started to take a close interest in translations as sources to investigate the ways in which knowledge and ideas were constructed, disseminated, re-elaborated and assimilated in new cultural, social and political contexts. The aims of this international conference is to encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue on these problems, bringing together scholars, graduate students and early career researchers from Translation Studies, History, History of Book, History of Science, Literary Studies and related disciplines who are interested in discussing methodologies, objectives and perspectives in the study of translations.
