Italo Calvino and World Culture: A Hundred-Year Legacy

A three-day conference organised by the Trinity Centre for Literary and Cultural Translation in the School of Languages Literature and Cultural Studies. Italo Calvino: A Hundred-Year World Legacy is a conference which aims to highlight the legacy that Calvino's work has had on the world across cultures, disciplines, and media. It will be looking at Calvino's work in translation, at the audiences he reached (and continues to reach) worldwide, and at the diverse impacts his production has had in different regions of the world. It will focus on Calvino's understanding of culture as a porous entity with limited or no boundaries, opening up a debate across disciplines that can be observed in his essays and also in the open and experimental form(s) of his creative work. Lastly, it will reflect on Calvino's work with other media, stemming from his youthful passion for the theatre, and on the adaptation and remediation of his narrative texts. In memory of Roberto Bertoni (1952-2019) The conference is open to anyone to attend. REGISTER HERE.
