Voice and Voice in Shakespeare’s World, Sapienza Università di Roma, Rome, February 20-21, 2020

The reception of Shakespeare’s plays reflects the history of the interpretation of his dramatic language. Playwriting implies cohesive textual and physical structures through which words resonate, that is why a play can never be taken as a definitive text; on the contrary, it stands for the precarious nature of the theatrical word which changes as it is voiced in performance or as it becomes the voice of linguistic, cultural, historical or political stances. For these reasons, the conference will take into consideration material aspects related to performance: much as the Shakespearean text is peppered with words that are now archaic and with familiar words whose original meanings have changed, so too the means of stage representation also undergo constant change, change inflected by the shifting behaviours animating the social world outside the theatre. This admission is hardly shocking: all participants in a production (translator, actors, directors, scholars?) are trying to make it speak, which means that they must speak for it, by it, and that it will speak in their present voices. The role and functions of oral/aural aspects of Shakespeare’s dramatic language will -also and necessarily- be part of our investigation: linguistic perspectives have recently taken a fresh look at ‘speech-related’ written genres, and have offered important clues as to the historical use of language as face-to-face interaction. Possible issues to be tackled include: the discovery of dialect in the early modern period as a question of cultural authority conveying both the perception of the ‘Other’, and the definition of a national ‘Self’; the idea of alternative Englishes, defined by their value or status relative to other English dialects (including the King’s English); material traces of orality in objects of writing on stage; the performative representation of different accents and their cultural and ideological impact; the question of original pronunciation; linguistic, literary and performative multilingual interaction between the native tongue and its dialectal variants, or with foreign languages.

SaM: Shakespeare and the Mediterranean, International Summer School in Verona Romeo and Juliet, 1-8 July 2020

SaM Shakespeare and the Mediterranean International Summer School in Verona Romeo and Juliet 1-8 July 2020 SaM – Shakespeare Summer School in Verona Skenè Research Centre http://skene.dlls.univr.it/en/ Verona University Since classical antiquity, the Mediterranean has been a breeding ground for cultural formation and transformation, extraordinarily capitalised on by Shakespeare, who set many of his plays there, re-elaborating narratives, cultural models, theatregrams, epistemological perspectives, and visual and material art forms. In turn, Italy and the other Mediterranean cultures are nowadays responding to the aesthetic and cultural stimuli of those plays, with ever new interpretations and reinterpretations. SaM Summer School will approach Shakespeare and the Mediterranean from a double perspective that integrates source studies and performance studies: from the Mediterranean sources of Shakespeare to Shakespeare as a source of new adaptations and rewritings in the heart of the Mediterranean. This first edition will concentrate on Romeo and Juliet Romeo and Juliet in a Mediterranean context. The Summer School is open to Italian and foreign students, teachers, and performers. Participants will be divided into two groups: 1) Master’s and Doctoral students, as well as highschool teachers (Group A). 2) Acting School students and graduates as well as performers (Group B). The course is organised as a cycle of lectures and workshops over a week. Students in Group A will be provided with reading materials by mid-June. End-of-course essays will be due by July 20, 2020. A test on the reading material provided in June will be held on July, 1 2020. The Summer School will admit up to 50 participants (25 for Group A and 25 for Group B). Classes will be held in English (Group A) and Italian and English (Group B). Applications will open on February 15, 2020, and will close on April 30, 2020. Admitted candidates will be notified by May 15, 2020 and the deadline for the tuition fee is May 25, 2020.

CfP: Human Reproduction and Parental Responsibility: New Theories, Narratives, Ethics https://journals.fupress.net/call-for-paper/human-reproduction-and-parental-responsibility-new- theories-narratives-ethics/ Phenomenology and Mind invites submissions for a special issue dedicated to “Human Reproduction and Parental Responsibility: New Theories, Narratives, Ethics”. We welcome contributions that are related – but not limited – to the following questions:  How do conceptions and cultural representations of parental responsibility inform bioethical, legal and political approaches towards the introduction and use of reproductive technologies?  Conversely, to what extent have new reproductive technologies been altering the concepts of parenthood and parental responsibility?  What are the emergent transformations and moral challenges associated with new forms of parenting?  How can artistic practice create a space for political and bioethical reflection, and what is the role of specific forms, genres and media (e.g. performance and video art; Science Fiction; life writing etc).  How have stories about parents and children evolved? How will they evolve in the future?  What is the impact of advanced reproductive technologies on legal and philosophical debates about biological and social parenthood, gender, and the rights of the unborn?  How do planetary environmental pressures affect theories and narratives of parenthood? What is the meaning of procreative liberty, parental responsibility and procreative beneficence on a warming planet?

CfP: WORKSHOP. THE CONCEPT OF LIGHTNESS: NEW PERSPECTIVES AND APPLICATIONS, University of Perugia, April 16, 2020

Call for Papers WORKSHOP: THE CONCEPT OF LIGHTNESS: NEW PERSPECTIVES AND APPLICATIONS LOCATION: University of Perugia (Italy), Department of Humanities DATE: April 16, 2020 CONTACT PERSONS: Roberta Mastrofini (University of Perugia); Marco Bagli (University of Genova) EMAILS: roberta.mastrofini@unipg.it; marco.bagli@unige.it CONVENORS: Roberta Mastrofini, Marco Bagli INVITED SPEAKER: Aleksandra Bagasheva (University of Sofia) CONFERENCE FEES: € 35 students; € 45 Professors and Academics (the fee includes two coffee breaks and a lunch break). Information can be found on linguistlist.org. Our workshop proposal wants to bring together scholars working on lightness from any type of perspective ranging from syntax to semantics, in English, or even better in a cross-linguistic perspective. Diachronic, typological, and corpus-based approaches are welcome. The aim is to find an answer to the following unsolved questions: What is a LVC and what is not? Should we consider “light” only the prototypical instances retrieved by Jespersen or postulate different degrees of lightness in verbal constructions? And, if so, how, and by which parameters is lightness assessed? Would it be plausible to say that any lexical predicate may turn “light” under specific syntagmatic conditions? If so, which ones? Is lightness only a verbal property? Can lightness in LVEs be the result of a metaphorical shift? If so, could a semantic cognitive approach be relevant? How can lightness be considered from a Cognitive Linguistics approach? Is it a matter of conceptual metaphor extension (Lakoff, 1990; Lakoff & Johnson, 1999, 2003)? When did lightness emerge, in a diachronic perspective? Can we apply Prototype Theory to distinguish LVCs from LVEs? Students and scholars are asked to submit an abstract of max 500 words (including examples, excluding references) to: roberta.mastrofini@unipg.it or marco.bagli@unige.it. Deadline for abstract submission is February 15, 2020. Notification of acceptance will be given by March 1, 2020.
