Cari colleghi
il dipartimento di italianistica dell'Universita' del Kent a Canterbury
versa in condizioni gravissime. A seguito di una politica di tagli e
ristrutturazioni che coinvolge l'intera School of Languages, il Dean della
Facolta' di Lettere ha proposto di sopprimere in blocco il dipartimento di
italiano. E' importante sottolineare che una proposta del genere si basa
su criteri puramente economici: le nostre competenze accademiche vengono
convenientemente e sistematicamente ignorate. Stiamo lottando con le
unghie e coi denti per evitare che questa 'soluzione' venga approvata
formalmente.
Per informazioni piu' dettagliate e per ESPRIMERE LA VOSTRA PREOCCUPAZIONE
E SOLIDARIETA' scrivete al seguente indirizzo:
Elizabeth Schachter

Grazie,
Katia Pizzi (Lecturer in Italian)

Futurism
My name is Anja Klock. I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Theatre
Arts and Dance at the University of Minnesota, USA. I am currently
finishing my M.A. paper entitled "SPEED dissolving SPACE and TIME:
Technologies of Transgressing and Controlling (Female) Bodies in Early
Futurist Representation", which I would like to expand into my
dissertation. I have just been awarded with a pre-dissertation research
grant which will allow me to spend six weeks in Italy in order to locate
materials and scholars in my dissertation area. Could you forward my
message to any scholars at your institution who might be able to
point out to me archives, special collections and maybe conferences in
the field? I would also appreciate any information on courses and
scholars who focus on the Italian (theatre)Avant-garde, Women's Studies,
History of Science (Physics), History of Politics in the early 20th
century. In order to ground the planning of my research trip in the
theoretical and practical landscape of Italy, I feel the need to
establish early contacts with the Italian academics in my field.
Please feel free to write to me in Italian.
Sincerely,
Anja I. Klock.
