Thank you, Best, Elena Borelli THE GRAND HOTEL ABYSS: ITALIAN CULTURE 1880-1914 György Lukács's metaphor of the Grand Hotel Abyss epitomizes his view of La Belle Epoque as an era characterized by the collapse of traditional values and epistemological paradigms. With this in mind, our panel examines the concept of crisis in Italy between 1880 and the advent of World War I. Send abstracts of 300 words and short bio to Elena Borelli [log in to unmask] and Mimmo Cangiano [log in to unmask] by December 15. ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join italian-studies YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave italian-studies to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/italian-studies.html
