The University of Macerata is proud to host the 2018 seminar of AIA - Associazione Italiana di Anglistica.
The seminar will focus on the themes of displacement and movement, and it will include plenary and invited talks by speakers from the international and national research community.
Travel, discovery, exile, exodus, diaspora, migration, desertion, banishment, imprisonment, eviction, discovery, dislocation, escape: the forms of displacement with which literary (and non-literary) texts engage are manifold. The notion of ‘movement’ is one of the oldest and most enduring literary preoccupations. From the quest narratives of the ancient world, to twenty-first-century imaginative explorations of mobility, displacement (broadly defined) and its correlates have retained a prominent place in the interrelated histories of literary themes and genres, cultural formations and linguistic innovations.
Scientific and Organizing Committee: Sara Castagnoli, Silvana Colella, Elena Di Giovanni, Raffaela Merlini, Gill Philip.
