international conference.

Archives of the Future invites scholars in the human
and social sciences to investigate the role and the potential of
postcolonial critical theories and practices in/for the Italian context.
The main aim of the conference is to sound the impact of the
postcolonial paradigm on forms, modes and contents of the Italian
academic and cultural tradition, and to promote new critical
perspectives that, by making visible the country's (post)colonial
legacy, may produce an understanding of the workings of the present as
it interrogates its (lack of) future.
The postcolonialitalia
research project from which this conference stems investigates the
tension between the normative power of the archive and the possibility
to renew its contents, in the attempt to unhinge a longstanding academic
tradition of defensive protection of disciplinary borders, which
forecloses the possibility of confronting and sharing criteria of
inquiry and meaning-production across different fields of study and
branches of learning.
The conference also aims to inflect the postcolonial paradigm through
a perspectival angle which we refer to as the 'European South': a
provocative theoretical location, rather than an identifiable
geopolitical region, connected to the notion of the 'global South' that
has become a shorthand for the postcolonial peoples of the contemporary
world. From this angle it tries to bring to light the new faces of a
country 'in transit', and to offer new readings of its canons and
archives, of the 'locations' of Italian culture.
