The rise of Asia 70 years after Bandung
What possibilities to build the world anew?
There is no question that Asia has been rising. The question is, what impact does it have on the world? Or, to be more positive-progressive-prospective, what “desirable impacts” should it have on the world?One way to answer the question may be to look back at the Bandung Conference, which represented the common and shared dreams of Asian and African peoples, as formulated formally in the Final Communiqué of the Bandung Conference and informally in the expression “Bandung Spirit”. So, with the rise of Asia 70 years after Bandung, what are the possibilities to build the world anew?

Quo vadis Provenance Research?
Primary Sources and Archival Collections in Post-Unitarian Italy
The workshop will focus on primary sources and archival collections in post-unitarian Italy, which serve as a fundamental tool for provenance research. Research projects dealing with the Italian post-unitary period up to the recent years still face the significant challenge of not only having to locate archival sources, but also of finding a way to access and consult them. The workshop aims to put this issue up for discussion and wishes to promote an open dialogue between international scholars and representatives of research institutions. The focus lies not only on traditional art historical sources such as specified libraries, photographic collections, private estates or institutional archives. It is also intended to include historical and political archives. The aim is to connect various sources and methods of archival work related to the field of provenance research and to identify potential improvements in the provision and the use of archival material (including digital data) in Italy and abroad.

Iron Curtains or Artistic Gates?
Communism and Cultural Diplomacy in the Global South (1945–1991 and Beyond)
This workshop challenges traditional East-West Cold War narratives by examining the cultural interactions between communist Europe and the Global South. We will primarily focus on art, culture, and heritage as sources of new insights into historical narratives. We ask the following questions: How can artistic expression contribute to the rethinking of historical narratives? How have political circumstances shaped artistic and cultural production, and vice versa? What were the underlying power dynamics? And what are the contemporary legacies of such interactions?

Emotional Worlds of the Middle Ages
The history of emotions has emerged as one of the most prolific research topics in recent years. Building on our understanding of the cultural production of emotional expressions, we seek to explore how people in the Middle Ages learned about emotions, how they managed and manifested them. We aim to place special emphasis on the textual aspects of socialization towards specific emotions and their expressions across different contexts and communities of the medieval world.

Translation and Translators in the Colonial Context
Roles, Functions and Narratives
The chronological reading of colonial contexts allows us to identify the “organic” link between translation and the colonial project, before, during and after the military occupation. Translation has acquired several functions; highlighting the role of the translator between the narratives of the colonizer and that of the colonized. Until 2000, seventy percent of the world's population had a “colonial” past, either as a colonizer or as a colonized. (Etemad, 258), which suggests that more than seventy percent of the world's population have been affected, and perhaps still are, through the prism of translation. The Conference will attempt to understand how translation was put at the service of the colonial project? What translation approaches have been adopted by translators and interpreters? How did translational discourse influence the cultures of the occupier and the occupied?

Béjaïa
English is the most widely used language for international communication, known as the "lingua franca par excellence". It is in high demand in education, business, and tourism, leading countries like Algeria to adopt it. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) tailors content to specific fields, equipping learners with necessary language skills. Algeria is integrating English into education, especially higher education, but lacks uniformity in ESP across disciplines. The absence of ESP teacher training programs in Algeria complicates the issue. Efforts are needed to improve ESP teaching and learning. The government has implemented an English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI) policy in higher education to increase global reach and produce qualified professionals. Success depends on qualified ESP practitioners and research for high-quality courses. This international event promotes collaboration to enhance ESP teaching practices and meet international standards.

The Challenge of Inclusivity and Democratic Government in Social Contract Theory
The conference will explore how the idea of a social contract should be adapted or reconsidered to address these challenges by focusing on its relationship to democracy, and in particular to democratic government. How should social contracts be amended in the context of contemporary transformations of popular government, administrative power and regulatory frameworks? What is the role of law and legal institutions in these transformations? Are there alternative models that may keep social contracts open to contestation while establishing a legitimate foundation for governance? How are social contracts renewed or made resilient?

This workshop places particular emphasis on the relationship between UNESCO and UIA.

Translation assessment: What is a good/bad translation in the new digitalized context?
Evaluating translations is a multifaceted process crucial for ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance. It aims to assess the quality and effectiveness of translated content. High-quality translations facilitate effective communication fostering global relationships and understanding. Comprehensive analysis and comparison are involved to ensure that the translated text meets the desired standards of accuracy and fluency. On another side, various tools and methods can be employed to evaluate translations, ranging from automated software solutions to manual linguistic scrutiny or translation studies’ outcomes.
