    Metallon

    The Exploitation of Subsurface Resources in Ancient Greece

    The Greek term metallon may refer to either a mine or a quarry, whether used for the extraction of rock, ore, or salt. In this sense, it does not denote the nature of the resources themselves, but rather their shared origin: the subsurface. This common provenance opens the door to a cross-disciplinary reflection on the exploitation and management of such resources in ancient Greece. In recent decades, the study of the past has seen a growing interest in environmental questions. A key dimension of this research concerns the relationship between ancient societies and their environment: how did human groups interact with their surroundings to meet their needs, build infrastructure, or produce everyday objects? In this field, the rise of interdisciplinary approaches – at the intersection of archaeological sciences and historical inquiry – combined with recent methodological advances, has led to major developments in the field.

    Italian catholic culture through the periodical press between reconstruction and the “Economic miracle”

    "Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea" Journal (December 2026)

    After the World War II in Italy there was a proliferation of periodical publications differing in orientation, field of interest and groups of pression, which in the framework of the new democratic and republican order came to constitute a fundamental vehicle of ideas and cultural models, as well as an instrument employable in the political struggle. This development also affected the Catholic world. This call aims to investigate publishing “products” produced by ecclesiastical or secular entities for a wide or targeted audience, aimed at instructing, educating, outlining models, awakening devotions and other religious practices, as well as directing social and political behavior.

    The Night in the Modern Era. Interpretations, Conflicts, and Changes

    "Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea" Journal (March 2027)

    The nighttime holds both symbolic and practical meanings, representing a space of negotiations, conflicts and changes in societies. It has its own rhythms and customs. This special issue od Diachronie aims to explore the theme of the night in the Modern era, with particular attention to the social, cultural and political dynamics characterised by their occurrence at nightfall. What experiences, actors, and practices transpass the boundaries between legality and subversion in nightlife? Or what metaphorical meanings has the night taken on?

    Extreme Rigth and Democracy in Europe After the Second World War

    Coexistence, Contrasts, Contradictions

    It seems urgent to reflect on how democracies have responded to the presence of extreme rightwing movements, both in terms of political practices and rhetoric. Have democracies actively opposed the extreme right, or have they opted for strategies of containment and coexistence? Equally important is to examine the perspective of the extreme right: how has it interpreted and narrated the (supposed) coexistence with the democratic system? How has it dealt with the legacy of fascism and to what extent has it adapted to the culture of democracy? This conference will analyze the language and culture of the extreme right, paying special attention to its critiques of democracy, including its reaction of Enlightenment values and claims that democracy operates a double standard, tolerant in theory, but marginalizing and punishing the extreme right in practice. Giving historical depth to the extreme right’s relationship with democracy will allow for new insights into today’s public debates.

    Interspecies Interactions in the Visual Arts (1550-1914). Collaborations, Experimentations, Oppositions

    This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. Are they merely objects of study, partners in creation, or autonomous agents in a larger process? How does the making of artworks define or blur boundaries between humans and other-than-humans?

    Female Body or Women's Bodies? The Limits of the Body Metaphor in Jewish Culture

    A Comparative Approach

    The use of metaphor to approach women’s bodies in Jewish culture is a powerful rhetorical tool for conveying a specific construction of the female body within the social, literary, and medical spheres. These images define the boundaries within which this body is to be viewed, perceived, and experienced. By interrogating these boundaries from a gender studies perspective, this study day provides an opportunity to develop a comparative approach to metaphors of the female body as they are used to represent women’s bodies—from the Talmud to contemporary Hebrew literature, including the Midrash, legal texts, and medical discourse.

    Habits in (Time of) Crisis

    At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, philosophies of habit questioned the evolution of habit following profound socio-political crises. They offered insights and models for reflection, which were, however, interrupted by the “agony” surrounding the concept of habit in philosophy during the twentieth century. Ultimately, philosophies of habit have only partially examined the question of how habit is subverted during crises. Although there has been a resurgence of interest in the constitution, function, and nature of habit in the past two decades, the explanatory hypotheses developed appear incomplete. Crises are often perceived as moments of rupture and interruption, but contemporary perspectives increasingly conceptualize them as enduring conditions. The international conference aims to address these questions from philosophical-theoretical, historical, psychological, linguistic, and ecological-scientific perspectives.
