Mission
The School’s activities are structures through two major formats:
i) the first one offers an annual series of lectures on a theme at the center of current cultural debates, involving well-known scholars (mainly from Europe);
ii) the second one represents an interdisciplinary scientific observatory, which aims at articulating a “vocabulary” for the humanities through annual seminars and conferences.
