Sites of Transit in Italy from WW2 to the present: History, Politics, Topography
The former POW, concentration and refugee camp at Fossoli is a key example in the complex 20th-century history of peoples and prisoners in transit. Proposals are welcome on the reconstruction of the history, politics and topography of this and other sites of transit in the European and Mediterranean context from WW2 to the present.
Please send a 200-300 word abstract and a brief biographical note to matteo.cassani2@unibo.it, roberta.mira@unibo.it and daniele.salerno@unibo.it by December 30, 2017.
