The twelfth episode of Inclusioni, the podcast channel of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Fuori Aula Network, is now available on major podcast platforms.

This episode, “Women: War and Peace. Ukrainian Writers and Artists (1914–2022)”, brings us to Ukraine. Just a few days after International Women’s Rights Day, we will discuss how Ukrainian women have played and continue to play a key role in the cultural resistance of this people.

In collaboration with the seminar series “ЇЇ Her: Dimensions of Ukrainian Womanhood”, discussions aimed at exploring the roles of Ukrainian women in war, peace, and cultural resistance, we interviewed Ola Hnatiuk, a historian and professor at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, Professor Emeritus at the University of Warsaw, and a member of the Ukrainian PEN Club.

The interview, which was conducted in English, is curated by Daniele Artoni, a professor of Slavic studies at our department and co-organizer of “ЇЇ Her” along with Anna Giust and the PhD candidates Diana Bota and Khrystyna Yordan.

Happy listening!

The eleventh episode of Inclusioni, the podcast channel of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Fuori Aula Network, is now available on major podcast platforms. What is translinguism? What is the relationship between identity, literature, and language in light of migratory phenomena?

In conversation with Massimo Salgaro, we will explore these topics with Michele Vangi, a professor of German literature at Roma Tre University, while exploring the experiences of authors from Eastern Europe who have chosen to write in German.

We will understand how inclusion is a process that can paradoxically give rise to new forms of prejudice, preventing us from seeing the complexity of  the individual, who can never be placed into a predefined category.

Professor Vangi is the author of “Transgermania. Il superamento del monolinguismo nella letteratura tedesca contemporanea“, an open access book that analyzes the literary implications of plurilinguism and “plural” cultural identity, a long-standing phenomenon in German society.

Happy listening, or rather Gutes Zuhören!

The tenth episode of Inclusioni, the podcast channel of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Fuori Aula Network, is now available on major podcast platforms. This episode will deepen the discussion of inclusion and accessibility explored in the previous episode with two educators who address these topics from different, interdisciplinary perspectives: Gerhard Lauer, professor of Book Studies at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz, and Shulamit Almog, professor of law at the University of Haifa. Both guests are part of the Advisory Board for the Excellence Project “Inclusive Humanities: Perspectives for Development in the Research and Teaching of Foreign Languages and Literatures”.

Inclusion and accessibility are two complex terms: can how we define them within the contemporary debate surrounding them? Do digital tools facilitate inclusion or do they create new learning inequalities? Are you familiar with intersectionality and DEI principles? Finally, in what ways can children be included in political decisionmaking processes that affect them?

The tenth episode is in English and led by Giovanni Tallarico.

The ninth episode of Inclusioni, the podcast channel of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Fuori Aula Network, is now available on major podcast platforms. This episode, entitled “Inclusion and accessibility today”, highlights the reflections and experiences of two Italian educators who have been involved with the inclusion of persons with disabilities and the accessibility of tools developed for their needs.

What does inclusion mean today? What is the Charter of Solfagnano on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities? Do you know what “inclusive guides” are?

The host address these topics with Anna Cardinaletti, professor of Glottology and Linguistics at the University Ca’ Foscari in Venice, and Elena di Giovanni, professor of English language, translation, and linguistics at the University of Macerata. Both guests are part of the Advisory Board for the Excellence Project “Inclusive Humanities: Perspectives for Development in the Research and Teaching of Foreign Languages and Literatures”.
