Vulnerable Bodies. Concepts and Figures of Bodily Vulnerability in the Italian and European Traditions (Trento)
The Winter School “Vulnerable Bodies. Concepts and Figures of Bodily Vulnerability in the Italian and European Traditions” (8th-12th February 2027) is a project promoted by the University of Trento in partnership with ENS Lyon and KU Leuven. Now in its fourth edition, the school aims to offer a one-week advanced training school focused on the Italian philosophical traditions in the enchanting setting of the Novacella-Abbey, in South Tyrol, and is open to thirty master's or PhD students and early-career researchers in philosophy, history, and literature, from all over the world. The programme features lectures and small-group seminars with international scholars (among whom Tomaso Montanari, Rafael Mandressi, Céline Manning-Frigau, Fabio Frosini, Olivia Guaraldo, Philippe Audegean, Alain Wijffels). Some participants will also have the opportunity to deliver a paper and discuss their ongoing research projects in an informal setting. Social events, guided tours, and accommodation in the Abbey are included. The programme is multilingual and contributions in French are welcome. A passive knowledge of English and Italian is required.
