italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies *Petrarch Beyond Subjectivities* This session seeks to encourage a critical reflection on the complexity of Petrarch’s poetics, ranging from his approach to modernity to his rediscovery of the past and his dialogue with the ancients, from the metaliterary strategies to the relationship with other forms of artistic expression, from political engagement to ethical questions, encompassing his whole poetic production. In particular, we aim to explore the creative space of the poet’s experience that moves from subjectivity to a variety of subjectivies. We welcome proposals on, but are not limited to, the following topics: - The tension between the past and the future - The poetic imagination and artistic creation - Political experiences and desires - Ethical doubts and religious aspirations - Subjectivity vs Subjectivities Your proposal should include the title, a 150-word abstract, a one-paragraph bio, and your current academic affiliation. Please, submit your proposal to Eleonora Buonocore ( [log in to unmask]) and Giulia Cardillo ([log in to unmask]) by Friday August 10th.
