/ /*Call for Papers*
We are pleased to announce the organization of an international
conference on
*/ /**/ The Mediterranean in Italian Culture/*
to be held in the cities of Venice and Udine on May 3 and 4, 2010
/
The purpose of this conference is to explore the role that the
Mediterranean, conceived as a unique set of cultural ferments, has
played in the history of Italian culture from the Middle Ages to the
present. The conference is meant to have a broad spectrum and to
generate interdisciplinary discussion on fundamental aspects of the
Mediterranean heritage in the intellectual, linguistic, and artistic
history of the Italian peninsula. We are interested in papers concerned
with the interpretation of specific historical events, linguistic
documents, literary texts, and works of art in the context of ideas of
the Mediterranean in contemporary culture. Papers on the Mediterranean
aspects of the culture of Venice throughout history will be especially
welcome. /
