We are breaking new ground in this important area of
Dante studies.
¶ In the eighty-odd years since the publication of the
ground-breaking work of Miguel Asín Palacios, isolated individuals have been
working with limited resources and within limited disciplines, examining the
relevant issues.
Fortunately the climate is now beginning to change –
not least in Italy. Arabo-Italian studies, Judeo-Italian studies and
trans-Mediterranean cultural studies have become intellectually respectable and
are attracting research funding.
¶ We have thus far held two international seminars, to
bring together some of the people working in this field. We spent a very successful
day in Cambridge (Saturday 28 April 2001) documenting the present state of
research, and looking at new research initiatives being developed
internationally. That was followed by a two-day event held at the Dopolavoro
Ferroviario, Venezia Santa Lucia, on 11th and 12th September 2002. Some of the
results of these discussions can be viewed in the Archive section
of this website.
Our discussions aim to be broad-ranging. In the longer
term we aim to bring in literature, science, music, architecture, medicine,
cuisine, graphic art, glassmaking, seafaring, etc. Some of these themes have
already been covered in our seminars.
¶ The 2003 conference will be held at Gonville and Caius
College (Bateman Auditorium), University of Cambridge, on 10th and 11th
September 2003.
Registration for the Conference is open to all. There
will be a small charge for registration.
The papers will be delivered in either
English or Italian. Contributions from the floor are welcome. The papers from
the Conference will be published.
