International Conference on Humanity / Humanities on the Move

It is not about demonstrating that the Humanities are ‘useful’, but to determine their scope and how they can contribute to tackle the main challenges of the third millennium, dealing with, inter alia, decoupling quality of life from resource-intensive lifestyles. The starting point is an extended and reframed definition of life / prosperity that goes beyond materially / economically ‘objective’ factors and also includes ‘subjective’ factors such as identity, solidarity, a sense of .. continue reading belonging, trust and social circles. In this sense, research should focus on how the complex and highly diverse life-long learning processes in Arts, Languages, Culture and Literature can stimulate changes in individual orientations and in collective lifestyles towards a sustainable solidarity-based life: how to live, to live together in shifting, multiple and hybrid communities and to preserve the richness of plural memory that anchors collective consciousness of transcultural belonging.

Highlights

• Apart from 8 keynote speakers, the program includes 50 papers / presentations, organized in 7 panels
• In the afternoon of April 27, the opening session includes two keynotes’ talks and a film projection
