italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
Dear colleagues,
Please, consider submitting a proposal for this panel at the AAIS/AATI 2020 Conference in Tucson, AZ (26-28 March, 2020):
City and Nation in Contemporary Italian Culture
For Naples mayor Antonio Bassolino, the introduction of direct mayoral election in 1993 and the newfound freedom of Italy’s cities to promote and brand themselves independent of the nation-state encourages a reconceptualization of Italy as a ‘Republic of Cities’.
This panel explores the role played by cultural practice and production in articulating, negotiating and reshaping understandings of the relationship between city and nation in contemporary Italy. Papers focused on Italy’s larger cities are particularly welcome, as are explorations of the relationship between distinct urban and national identities in the cultural imaginary.
Please send a 150-200 word abstract, brief bio, and A/V requests to [log in to unmask] by December 1st, 2019.
Thank you!
