2009 AAIS Conference
St. John's University
Manhattan NY from May 7-10, 2009.
Views from the Grand Tour: On Cinema and Architecture
Over the centuries, grand tourists have produced numerous literary and artistic works
art form that emerged during the fin-de-siècle and is uniquely adept at capturing archi-
lead of Bruno (1993), Bertozzi (2001), Cresti (2003) and others, we invite panelists to
consider the nexus between Italian cinema and architecture, be it formal, structural,
aesthetic, ideological, socio-historical, cultural, functional, or gender-related.
Interdisciplinary and comparative studies are particularly welcome.
Organizers: Alberto Zambenedetti and Gaoheng Zhang
Department of Italian Studies, New York University.
Proposals are due to Session and Roundtable Organizers on January 2nd.
They must include title, brief abstract (150-200 words), academic affiliation, short bio,
and audio-visual requirements.
After the international conference, organized in Nantes in the end of
transnational culture", the CRINI organizes a second conference within
this line of interest, which this time will have as its main theme: "Italy
and Latin America: migration, exchanges, influences, interferences"
(L'Italia e l'America Latina: migrazioni, interscambi, influenze, interfe-
renze).
The rich and narrow relations, notably linguistic and cultural, although
not exclusively, which tie Italy and the Latin American countries will
constitute the main theme of this conference. The organizers of this
conference would like to bring together to this scientific field Italian and
Latin American universities and Italian departments of all over the
world and, above all, specialists on these matters coming from Latin
American countries (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, etc), Italianists and
Americanists in the first place.
More than 40 million citizens of Italian origin actually live in different
Latin American countries, of which more than half of them in Brazil, and
our interest takes us to the different and multiple aspects of this mixing
of cultures. Contributions should therefore aim at addressing the
following domains, from either a synchronic or a diachronic point of
view:
* Historical relations between Italy and the South American continent
(geographic discoveries, migration, participation in independence
wars, exile, ...)
* Socio-cultural relations: linguistic, artistic, literary, religious, ...
* Political and economical relations
* Phenomena of bilingualism in literature and the case of Latin
American authors who have chosen Italian as their language of
expression and belong to the "new" italophone literature
Proposals for papers should be sent to Walter Zidaric and Bob de
Jonge before July, 10th, 2009.
