italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Dear All, please join us next Thursday for a roundtable hosted by the UCL Institute of Advanced Studies and organised by the UCL Comparative Literature Programme. We will consider experiences of intimacy and of otherness (in fiction, in life), explore moments and spaces of encounter, and discuss if and how familiarity produces integration. At 7pm, we will raise a toast to UCL's new BA Comparative Literature, starting in September 2016. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTIMATE STRANGERS - CONTESTED SPACES OF EVERYDAY CROSS-CULTURAL ENCOUNTER ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IAS Common Ground, Ground Floor, South Wing, Wilkins Building Thursday, 19 May 2016: 5pm-7.30pm Speakers * Dr Seth Anziska (Hebrew and Jewish Studies) * Prof. Rachel Bowlby (Comparative Literature and English) * Dr Florian Mussgnug (Comparative Literature and Italian) * Dr Peter Zusi (School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies) Chair: Prof. Phiroze Vasunia (Greek and Latin) For further details, please see http://www.ucl.ac.uk/institute-of-advanced-studies/ias-events/comparative-literature-intimate-strangers-contested-spaces-of-everyday-cross-cultural-encounter Best wishes, Florian -- Dr Florian Mussgnug Reader in Italian and Comparative Literature Director, UCL Comparative Literature Programme School of European Languages, Culture and Society University College London WC1E 6BT, UK ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe 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: unsubscribe 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/italian-studies
