italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies Canadian Association for Italian Studies (CAIS) 2019 Conference Orvieto (TR) Italy June 13-16 http://www.canadiansocietyforitalianstudies.camp7.org/Session-Proposals-2019#traces_of_god CFP Traces of God in 20th century Italian poetry During the last two decades, theological, biblical, mystical and exegetical perspective applied to 20th century Italian poetry studies has become more necessary to reach an exhaustive overview of the Italian religious poetry tradition. Despite the obvious importance of the interplay between poetic language, the biblical code and its theological implications in the Italian poetic tradition, there is a dearth of studies addressing the role played by biblical influences and theology implications in contemporary Italian poetry. The aim of the panel is to bring the attention on the exploration of divinity in 20th century Italian poets such as Alda Merini, David Maria Turoldo, Giorgio Caproni, Giovanni Testori, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Mario Luzi, Margherita Guidacci, Cristina Campo and others, through biblical and mystical influences, theological implications and their deep relation with the language. The aim is also to show how poets have employed mystical and biblical symbols and themes to create an intimate conversation with God and to engage with the religious/mystical experience of the divine. Papers should not exceed 15-20 minutes. Please submit a 250-words abstract (english or italian), biographical information, and technical requirements to Valentina Calista ([log in to unmask] mailto:[log in to unmask] ). The deadline for submission is February 28th, 2019.
