The Becoming of Congo: Epistemologies, Practices, and Imaginaries
V International Congo Research Network Congress (15-16 September 2020)
The conference aims to bring together junior and senior scholars across the humanities and social sciences, sharing a common interest in the DRC. It specifically aims to provide space for transdisciplinary and comparative analyses and reflections, within and beyond Congolese Studies. This edition of the Congo Research network (CRN) focuses on the concept of “becoming”: the becoming of research on/around the Congo (new paths and new relations between "knowledges/epistemologies" and agents—academics, artists, writers, cultural operators, journalists and bloggers, activists and others); the becoming of Congolese culture (new places of creation and exhibition, new ways of sharing/transmitting knowledge and cultural practices); the becoming of land and questions of mobility, not only in the Congo, but also in Africa and the world (climate change and social justice).

The transformations of Literature and Art Criticism in periodicals between the 18th and the 21st century
Although unquestionably all-pervasive within the history of modern and contemporary press, the ‘review form’ has been to present an understudied practice. In fact, this multi-faceted, cross-disciplinary form that has persistently accompanied the different phases in the evolution of “print-capitalism” has hardly been analysed from a theoretical perspective. This dismissal by the academic world is certainly peculiar, if not manifestly contradictory; however, it significantly testifies of the difficulty of investigating such a slippery object of study critically.

Seminar of philosophy of image
Recent evolutions in the contemporary iconoscape have enabled the production of pictures that elicit in the perceiver a strong feeling of “being there”, namely of being incorporated into new and autonomous environments. Subjects relating to such environments are no longer visual observers in front of images isolated from the real world by a framing device; they are experiencers living in quasi-worlds that offer multisensory stimuli and allow interactive sensorimotor affordances. In relation to such quasi-worlds, a key role is played by the avatar, a digital proxy through which subjects interact with synthetic objects or other avatars. The notion and the uses of the avatar are becoming crucial in a variety of disciplines, ranging from philosophy to visual culture studies, anthropology, sociology, cognitive psychology, and neurosciences. Also, they are raising relevant issues in the fields of ethics and politics.

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.

The hermeneutics of the “modernity of antiquity” is a still pioneering branch of research in Italian literature and art studies. Its aim is to discover the hidden meaning of works of literature and arts where other approaches failed or proved unsatisfactory.

III congresso internazionale di studi ermeneutici
Quello della «Modernità simbolico-mitologica dell’antico nella Letteratura italiana e nelle Arti» è un filone ermeutico interdisciplinare, che si avvale della storia delle religioni antiche e delle sue fonti come precipua chiave di decifrazione di opere sia letterarie sia artistiche di tutti i tempi: opere semanticamente oscure ed enigmatiche perché – insospettabilmente per la gran parte dei lettori – sono state concepite dai rispetivi autori in prospettiva cripto-pagana, avvalendosi pertanto di concetti e di fonti prelevati dalle antiche religioni pagane, sia mediterranee sia non mediterranee, o dalle eresie del cristianesimo e delle altre religioni (argomenti, questi, nel complesso di norma poco conosciuti sia dai letterati sia dagli studiosi di discipline artistiche).

Ethnomusicology and heritage - SEMEP 2016/2017
SEMEP 2016/2017
Le Séminaire en ethnomusicologie et patrimonialisation (SEMEP) souhaite renforcer les relations en ethnomusicologie et en anthropologie musicale entre la France et l’Italie, à travers des activités spécialement destinées aux étudiants du deuxième et troisième cycles. Ce « multi-séminaire » possède une vocation transfrontalière, interdisciplinaire et transculturelle. Il se veut un moment d’échanges entre experts de deux pays et d’approfondissement de thèmes au cœur du débat scientifique international contemporain. Après avoir examiné, l’année dernière, l’histoire et l’ethnomusicologie de la patrimonialisation musicale en Italie et en France, le sujet de cette seconde édition 2016-2017 du SEMEP est dédié à la patrimonialisation des objets sonores et des instruments de musique.

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium
Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.
