Call for Papers: XX AISLLI Conference: LANGUAGES, CULTURES, IDENTITIES OF
ITALY IN THE WORLD - December 3-6, 2009 - University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia.
1. The AISLLI (Associazione Internazionale per gli Studi di Lingua e di
Letteratura Italiana), announces its XX International Conference:
LANGUAGES, CULTURES, IDENTITIES OF ITALY IN THE WORLD. The conference will
explore language, politics, the media, the arts, the economy, and material
culture in order to examine Italian identity/identities as a world-wide
phenomenon. In particular, the conference will focus on “the Italies out
of Italy”: the large or “little Italies” which embodied and embody a
regional identity more than a national one. These Italies are part of an
understudied “glocal (global+local) world” in which cultural and ethnic
identities are less linked to their territory than they were in the past.
The notion of this new “glocal” reality will open political questions,
regarding the limits of the idea of nation and the national conception of
democracy.
2. The deadline for submission of proposals is October 30, 2009. .
Proposals can be submitted by registering at
http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/italians/events/aislli/index.html. Immediately
after registering, the colleagues will receive the confirmation of their
participation at the Conference. Papers should be in Italian or in English
and should last 10/15 minutes. Colleagues are also invited to consider
organizing a session or a panel discussion. Each session and panel
discussion is scheduled for 60 minutes.
3. Upon acceptance by the AISLLI Scientific Committee, the proceedings
will be collected in a peer-reviewed pubblication.
