    Ecological Grief and Mourning in the Literature and the Arts in the Anglophone World

    This conference proposes to explore the concept of ecological grief and the fast-growing body of theoretical work that is developing around it against the background of the ongoing sixth-mass extinction and biodiversity loss. With this conference, we also wish to think about the longer history of ecological grief from the eighteenth century onwards, including by exploring some of the consequences of the Industrial Revolution. Is nature grievable? How do we grieve for it? What is the role of writers and artists in this individual and collective process? While to some, environmental grief gives way to desolation or an irredeemable sense of melancholy, others view it as a form of resilience or even a spur to action, a source of activism in art.

This conference builds on recent scholarship in analysing fascism and authoritarianism as global phenomena. The organisers aim to connect an interdisciplinary range of scholars—at all career levels—who will draw on history, literature, political science, and journalism to illuminate the political uses of laughter.

    Differential mobilities in contemporary cities

    Journal "Forum Sociológico" – Special Issue

    Although the study of barriers and inequality is central to understanding the dynamics of mobility and the structuring of urban life, we consider it relevant to also advance in understanding the strategies that these groups build to face the challenges of urban life. Different populations experience varying degrees of freedom or restriction when travelling, depending on their social, economic and spatial position. Depending on the characteristics of the individuals, but especially the social groups in which they are inserted, it is possible to observe creative mobility strategies to face the barriers imposed by the organisation of urban space, inequality or transport policies.

    The Echo of Ancestors: The Reemergence and Claims of 'Ancient' Religions in Europe

    This interdisciplinary workshop explores the revival of ancient religions in Europe, examining their resurgence, dissemination, institutional recognition, and sociopolitical impact. As non-monotheistic beliefs—polytheism, paganism, and animism—gain renewed interest and are increasingly leveraged in identity debates, this initiative brings together researchers from across Europe for a cross-disciplinary investigation of these evolving dynamics.

    Language, end of life, death and bereavement: an interdisciplinary perspective

    Workhop - Languages and Language at the Crossroads of Disciplines (LLcD) conference

    The workshop aims to initiate an interdisciplinary discussion by convening linguists along with scholars from other disciplines with an interest in language, such as philosophy or psychology, who share a common interest in end-of-life, death and bereavement issues. It will be informed by the following research questions: what are the linguistic representations of death and end of life? What are the similarities and differences between healthcare practitioners, patients and (bereaved) relatives in terms of their representation of death and end of life? To what extent can health care practitioners’ communication practices impact the process of bereavement? What linguistic resources can be put in place to avoid the silence that surrounds death-related topics?

    Everyday Poisons

    The many faces of poison in Medieval and Early Modern Treatises

    Poison was strongly present at all times in the daily life of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age. It was used as a weapon, deliberately and otherwise, but it could be found in even the simplest actions, used with an awareness of its lethality but also of how useful and fundamental certain poisonous substances could actually be in art, medicine, or cosmetics. This workshop, therefore, intends to analyze all aspects of that dealt with poisonous elements, materials, plants or animals. This workshop focuses on treatises and recipe collections, which explain how to prepare pigments, binders or varnish, but also jams, syrups, or even beauty finds.

    Capitals of Italy: Spaces and “identities” from the Sister republics to fascism

    This interdisciplinary Summer School, part of the Spazidentità project supported by the École Française de Rome, explores the relationship between spatial dimensions and the construction of Italian identity from the nineteenth century to Fascism. Focusing on capital cities, it examines how urban spaces, monuments, and museums shaped and reflected national belonging. Through theoretical discussions, in situ case studies in Rome, and presentations by doctoral and post-doctoral researchers, the program investigates the role of space in political transformations, revolutionary movements, and ideological projections. Key themes include the impact of unification, Fascist urban planning, and the contested narratives of Italy’s capitals.

    Haptic Trouble

    Drawing on the polysemy of trouble in critical theory, this interdisciplinary conference proposes to interrogate the sense of touch as a site of sensory and social subversion, urging us to acknowledge the unresolved discontents of the haptic, to embrace its critical disturbances, and to test its emancipatory potentialities.

    Europe through the Arts

    Entangled histories of culture and identity(ies)

    Artistic expressions have long played a key role in shaping, challenging, and redefining the Idea of Europe. From Romantic depictions of a fragmented continent to contemporary visual narratives of crisis and transformation, the arts have provided a lens through which European identity is explored. This conference examines the intersection of art, art criticism, and European thought from the early nineteenth century to today, bringing together scholars from various disciplines to analyze how artistic engagement has influenced the continent’s cultural and political evolution.

    The Sea Ends Here

    In ancient Greece, the Strait of Gibraltar marked the end of the civilized world and human exploration evinced by its name Non plus ultra (nothing further beyond). With the strait as vantage point, the workshop The sea ends here explores ends and endings connected to movements in and across the Mediterranean and oceans. Where does a sea, a maritime route, a refugee’s journey, a political uprising, or toxic waste end? Can we draw lines in the water? What constitutes an end: a dream or a destination, a physical or man-made barrier, a closure or a new beginning? How do people set, enforce, and cross political and disciplinary boundaries in three-dimensional spaces? Where, when and how futures begin and end? And who grabs futures?

    Who Owns Heritage?

    Local Communities and the Fight for Historical Monuments in the 19th and 20th Centuries

    What happens when those living alongside historical monuments – churchgoers, farmers, workers, custodians, local officials, non-human entities – see these sites as theirs? Through what sources and scholarly approaches can we recover their voices and their role in the state-led activities of restoration and preservation of architectural monuments? This conference explores the debates, conflicts and role of local communities in the heritage politics starting from the mid-19th century and focusing especially but not exclusively on Central and Eastern Europe. It also seeks to understand the role of non-human actors, such as plants, animals, natural formations, weather and the different, more-than-human perspectives, they bring to the process of heritage making.
