Transnational Italies

Description

TML final project event: The conference, with keynote presentations from Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Marina Warner, represented an important output of the project. Accompanied with the project exhibition, it aimed to shed new light on the history of Italian cultural mobility. It explored how the notion of ‘Italianness’ has been dynamically reformulated and performed by individual and collective subjects drawing from ideas of the nation state and its regimes of citizenship, from transcultural practices and transnational imaginaries. It set out to broaden the frame in which we read Italian history, memory and culture, considering the multiple levels of their negotiation, mediation and remediation. It aimed to stress the fluid and relational nature of (Italian) culture and belonging, by investigating events, media and memories through which they have been materialised, imagined and performed.
