Going Through Hell
Online Lecture, 12 May 2021, 19:00
Perhaps it was seeing an illustration of Henry Holiday’s painting, ‘Dante and Beatrice’, in a History text book at school in Jamaica, that started my fascination with the Divine Comedy; for I remember as a thirteen year old girl, being haunted by that image of the poet. Moderated by Jason Allen-Paisant, Francesco Giusti, and Laura Scuriatti
Organized by Manuele Gragnolati
A lecture on the occasion of the publication of The Oxford Handbook of Dante in cooperation with Équipe littérature et culture italiennes (Sorbonne Université) and Bard College Berlin.

Haptic Skepticism for Life During a Pandemic
Online Discussion, 20 May 2021, 19:30
Dogmatism and skepticism are not simply opposed. Contemporary expressions of cultural skepticism (e.g. towards vaccines or pandemic regulations) are often entangled with the dogmatic attitudes of those who cling to their right to come into touch with others and the world as they please.
Organized by Rachel Aumiller
An ICI event in cooperation with De Gruyter.
Video-meeting with the possibility of audiovisual participation. Please register on the event page. Public livestream available.

Dante’s Queer Fathers
Online Lecture, 7 Jun 2021, 19:00
In 700 years of intense commentary, readers of the Comedy—at least professional readers—have almost entirely managed to avoid a crucial inquiry: what did Dante know about classical pederasty? What did he think of it? And most poignantly, did he think about Virgil in this context?

Materialism and Politics
ed. by Bernardo Bianchi, Emilie Filion-Donato,
Marlon Miguel, Ayşe Yuva
Cultural Inquiry, 20
Berlin: ICI Berlin Press, 2021
Open Access
Is materialism still relevant to critically think politics? Throughout modernity, the concept of materialism was associated with fatalism and naturalism, when it was not simply dismissed as heresy and atheism. In the nineteenth century, materialism evolved into a central concept of progressive politics, reappearing again in the past decades through renewed Marxist and Spinoza-based approaches, New Materialism, and feminist discourses. This volume inquires these contrasting uses from theoretical and historical perspectives.
