Digital Italy Day on July 2: Pandemic Crisis Discourses
Image: University of Kassel.Hardly any contemporary cultural and media debate can avoid the global Covid 19 crisis. Therefore, this year's Italy Day is also under the double sign of the pandemic, on the one hand through the mode of its realization, on the other hand because of its content.
From 4 to 6 p.m., two lectures will show the extent to which epidemics are part of the historical experience not only of Italy but also of Europe, in what form they are processed in literature, but also in what way they determine discourses and debates of the present and provide further impulses for critical theory formation.
The Italy Day imparts intercultural competencies and prepares students for international cooperation. Cultural transfer and encounter promote a European consciousness.
