italian-studies: Scholarly discussions in any field of Italian studies
I would like to draw your attention to the forthcoming 6th
International Conference of Mediterranean Worlds (Symbols and Models
of the Mediterranean), to be held ad the University of Calabria,
September 9-11, 2014.
We welcome the submission of 250-word abstracts for twenty-minute
papers that broadly address the above themes, and that may address,
but not be limited by, the following topics:
- Symbols and models disclosing common identities.
- Symbolical landmarks
- Symbols of the State and Political Power as institutional models
- Religious symbols
- Settlements patterns and historical-economic models
- Natural elements (living beings typical of the Mediterranean
area bearing a symbolic value)
- Literary production recording the centrality of the
Mediterranean as a complex and contradictory allegory.
- Redefining Mediterranean boundaries as precarious and mobile
limits, but also as bridges between lands and shores
- The metaphor of the Mediterranean and the dialectic between
the hegemonic power of the centers and the potential destabilizing
peripheries.
Abstracts should be no more than 250 words and should include at least
3 descriptive keywords, the presenter’s name, email address,
organization, and mailing address. The languages of the conference
will be English and Italian.
Please send your abstract submissions by 1 March 2014 to Maria Rosaria

Notification of acceptance will be communicated by 1 April 2014.
