Interest in the philosophical ideas of the Greek and Roman Stoics has burgeoned over the

past three decades, and Stoicism is experiencing a fascinating resurgence into various

facets of U.S. literature and culture. Although this popularity across diverse groups of

readers seems new, Stoicism has had a long if changeable history in the U.S.—from the

Puritan colonial settlers (who brought Stoic texts with them across the Atlantic) and

The Summer School The Cultural Heritage and Memory of Totalitarianism explores the legacy of Fascism in Italy blending unique in situ visits to art, architecture and historical monuments led by international experts and classes on literature, film and culture led by Sapienza faculty. The goal is to broaden the scholarly assessment of the period and to suggest innovative curricula for students in the humanities, who are also interested in working in museums and cultural institutes in Italy and abroad. The heritage of Fascism in Rome and Italy will be approached in the context of Nazism and Stalinism, and framed within the broader scenario of European colonialism.

This panel aims to provoke discussion of “trauma” and the critical paradigm that has grown up around it in our time. Especially since the publication of Cathy Caruth’s Unclaimed Experience in 1996, “the traumatic” has grown from a specialist analytic discourse to a catch-all framework that informs how we talk about everything from politics, to art, to personal relationships. In short, the concept of trauma today enjoys a culturally dominant status. In recent years, however, the narrative trope of trauma has served as a target for critics increasingly frustrated with its seeming omnipresence.

We are seeking a limited number of essays to complete an edited collection exploring the connections between the gothic genre and literary modernism. Inspired by the work of scholars such as Sam Wiseman, Linda Dryden, David Punter, and the late John Paul Riquelme, this collection will consider how and why gothic elements such as dark doubles, the uncanny, the return of the repressed, haunted spaces, etc. enter modernist writing.
