Since the 1960s there has been much critical reflection on the figure of the author, and this has been analysed from several angles in linguistic and literary studies as well as more recent forms of web writing in the wake of the digital revolution. First, structuralism and Saussurian theory laid the groundwork for the renewal of Literary theory. The “death of the author” propounded by Barthes (1961) offered the chance to redefine the essence, the role and the status of the author. The first person to accept this challenge was Michel Foucault, during his lecture Qu’est-ce qu’un auteur? at Collège de France, on 22 February 1969. Beyond the limits of historical and ideologically connoted analysis, debate on the matter is far from settled. On the contrary, the authorial question offers food for thought in different fields of linguistics, philology and literature. If the modern concept of author called for reflection on Beckett’s provocative “qu’importe qui parle?”, even today the number of issues that can be investigated in relation to the author prove how important this is for all three aforementioned disciplines.

Intersections. New perspectives for public humanities
HFC-INT 2020
The international network Humanities for Change, in accordance with the interdisciplinary spirit and the contaminatory approach that characterize its activities, intends to organize a day of study on the theme of public humanities. The meeting aims to stimulate some reflections coming from different fields of knowledge and to encourage the dialogue between researchers on the possibilities of the humanities to escape from academic circles. In this sense, the main object of study is the analysis of methodologies and tools related to knowledge dissemination practices for historical, artistic and philological-literary disciplines. Particular attention will also be given to new professional figures connected to the degree courses of the humanities faculties (such as the 'public historian') and to the interactions of these professional figures with the new media of communication and mass dissemination.

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.

Contending Representations: Questioning Republicanism in Early Modern Genoa (1559-1684)
In the past thirty years, several studies have been devoted to the political and cultural flowering of the republic of Genoa during the so-called ‘siglo de los Genoveses’, between 1528 and 1630, when Genoa became the hub of European trade and an important epicenter of artistic and literary production. Yet little attention has been granted to the cultural and economic crisis that followed or to how Genoese republican state power was represented during the long seventeenth century, especially in relation to neighbouring polities. To address this gap, the conference will explore how the Genoese Republic shaped its political image between 1559 – the year of the publication of Oberto Foglietta’s Delle cose della repubblica di Genova – and 1684, when Genoa was bombed by the French. We intend to address questions such as how did Genoese politicians and men of letters represent their homeland? How was Genoa represented by the Genoese community in Spain or in the Low Countries? How was its political system conceived by other Italian and non-Italian political writers? And how did prevailing depictions of absolutism influence republican rhetoric?

MemWar. Memory and forgetting of war and trauma in the 20th century
Le XXIe siècle nait de l’histoire tourmentée du XXe, avec ses deux guerres mondiales et les autres conflits de dimension européenne, comme la Guerre civile espagnole. Ce colloque, organisé par le groupe de recherche « MemWar. Mémoires et oublis des guerres et des traumatismes du XXe siècle » du Département de Langues et cultures modernes de l’Université de Gênes, vise à analyser les modalités de transmission mémorielle de ces conflits au XXIe siècle, les représentations de ces derniers, les points aveugles et/ou obscurs de ce processus mémoriel, y compris dans une optique critique (Ricoeur, 2003) et, enfin, comment se développent les rapports de force entre discours officiel et contre-discours.

Writings by music-lovers - translating musical memories
Notre projet vise l’étude des formes de la musicographie, et plus particulièrement la façon dont l’écriture traduit et transpose les émotions provoquées par la musique. En effet, la mélomanie et la question de l’émotion musicale forment le nœud d’un paradoxe : s’il semble évident que le désir d’écrire sur la musique découle d’un plaisir de l’écoute, et d’une mélomanie plus ou moins affirmée, la critique musicale, depuis le début du XXe siècle, s’est pourtant montrée très méfiante envers le langage des sentiments et des émotions subjectives. À cette méfiance institutionnelle s’ajoute une difficulté : la question de l’« émotion musicale » est complexe, car le rapport de la musique aux émotions s’est profondément modifié à travers le temps.

Venezia Novecento: le voci di Paola Masino e Milena Milani
Il convegno ha lo scopo d’indagare il rapporto di Paola Masino e Milena Milani con Venezia, portando in primo piano una comune esperienza d’esilio imposto dal fascismo e mettendo in luce inediti legami all’interno di una comunità artistica che le vide partecipi tra primo e secondo Novecento. Paola Masino (1908-1989) visse un periodo d'esilio nella città lagunare, a fianco del compagno Massimo Bontempelli. Qui trovarono inizio le sue riflessioni sulla relazione donna-società, venne concepito il romanzo Nascita e morte della massaia e l'autrice ebbe l'opportunità di incontrare vari intellettuali, tra cui Anna Maria Ortese. Anche per Milena Milani (1917-2013) Venezia fu un luogo di scambio con figure del panorama dell’arte, uno spazio di costruzione della propria poetica nonché sede privilegiata del mestiere di giornalista e traduttrice per il Cavallino di Carlo Cardazzo. In città pubblicò le prime raccolte di poesia e racconti, tra cui Ignoti furono i cieli (1944), ambientò La ragazza di nome Giulio (1964) e fu operatrice culturale.

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.

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.

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.

Political Proust from the Europe of Goncourt 1919 to the Europe of 2019
Le colloque a pour objectif d’examiner l’écho de l’œuvre de Proust sur d’autres auteurs, contemporains ou postérieurs à lui, pour étudier quelles politiques se dessinent dans les œuvres. Il vise à réenclencher les études proustiennes sur l’histoire, en étudiant les discours, les actions et les affects investis dans l’engagement littéraire, qu’il s’agisse de celui de Proust, de celui qu’il a inspiré ou de celui qu’on lui a dénié. Enfin, on examinera dans quelle mesure Proust peut, ou non, constituer une ressource vitale en temps de désastre.

Islands and remoteness in Geography, Law, and Fiction
The conference seeks to explore how, in many ways, islands appear to be “geographical paradoxes”. Indeed, they are spatially remote places, which are, at the same time, bound to a continent by social conventions. The grounds of such puzzle are manifold. It is firstly a matter of spatial area. Secondly, the puzzle depends on how the political power projects authority over circumscribed spatial realms, including non-continental realms.

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.
