Presentation

This conference is part of the MODA research project (The Globalization of Dante) started in May 2018 at the Université de Lorraine (Nancy) by Giuseppe Sangirardi (LIS research center) in collaboration with Antonella Braida (IDEA research center). Conceived and organised in partnership with Giuseppe Ledda (Dipartimento di Filologia Classica e Italianistica dell’Università di Bologna), Sebastiana Nobili (Dipartimento di Beni Culturali dell’Università di Bologna, sede di Ravenna) and Alessandro Zironi (Dipartimento di Lingue Letterature e Culture Moderne dell’Università di Bologna), with the collaboration of the Centro Dantesco dei Frati Minori Conventuali di Ravenna and the Istituzione Biblioteca Classense - Comune di Ravenna, the conference The Globalization of Dante II is the continuation of various events and publications, and in particular of the conference The Globalization of Dante I, devoted to Europe and held in Nancy in October 2021 with the patronage of the Comitato nazionale per la celebrazione dei 700 anni dalla morte di Dante (the proceedings were published by the publisher Longo in 2022).

The overall objective of the project is to create a multi-level cartography of the reception of Dante's work in the contemporary world, starting from the nineteenth century, focusing in particular on: a) the expansion of the geographical spaces of reception; b) widening reception methods; c) and, as the final objective of the project,  the creation of cartographic tools that will provide an overall vision of the globalization of Dante.This conference will be devoted to non-European linguistic and cultural areas, and will be structured, like the previous one, into three sections.

Section 1: Outside Europe

The aim will be to study the literary reception of Dante in its various forms (criticism, rewriting and intertextuality, authorial imitation and generic phenomena) starting from the nineteenth century onwards, and assess its development in non-European linguistic-cultural areas (with particular but not exclusive attention to those that are relatively less explored today, particularly languages ​​and cultures of Asian and African countries).

Section 2: Outside the literature

The aim will be to study, always with reference to non-European areas and starting from the nineteenth century, the non-literary forms of the modern and contemporary reception of Dante, from the visual arts to cinema, from theatre to music, from comics to street art,  including forms of art more directly determined by economic activities, such as advertising, the production of gadgets, etc., which can be considered from a semiological, sociological or more generally, from a cultural point of view.

Section 3: Archives

This section will be devoted, again with reference to non-European areas, to the forms of archiving that affect reception, both traditional ones (bibliographies, printed repertoires, synthesis studies) and above all innovative ones and those associated with online technologies (sites, networks, platforms), with the objective of mapping existing archives and producing original devices. 

The conference will take place in two stages: the first at the University de Lorraine (Nancy) on 10-11 October 2024; the second at the Università degli studi di Bologna (Bologna and Ravenna) on 22-23 November 2024.

Proposals for papers in French, Italian and English will be accepted.
