UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK, DEPARTMENT OF ITALIAN
AHRC DIASPORAS, MIGRATION AND IDENTITIES WORKSHOPS SERIES
Mobility and Identity Formation: An Interdisciplinary Approach to the “Italian Case”
This series of interdisciplinary workshops will explore notions and representations of mobility emerging from the experience of migration between Italy and other countries (European and non-European) in the 20th century and up to today. The particular case of Italy offers a starting point for interdisciplinary discussion of concepts of mobility and identity formation, combining experiences of emigration, internal migration, and immigration.
Workshops will include key-note speakers working in the area of Italian culture, with further speakers and respondents drawn from related fields (including Translation Studies, Film Studies, Comparative Literature, Modern Languages, Sociology, Gender Studies and Anthropology).
