Roma Tre University (org.), Milestone Conference: Scritture della natura. letteratura, arte, filosofia. September 16-18th, 2024, Roma Tre University.

The conference Scritture della natura. letteratura, arte, filosofia, organised as part of the PRIN PNRR 2022 project “Eco-writings. Geography, Environment and Resilience in German Literature”, aims to foster reflection and interdisciplinary dialogue on the relationship between the subject and the environment, reconsidering it from a non-anthropocentric perspective. This exploration seeks to develop sophisticated methodological approaches for analyzing literary texts that, from cognitive, aesthetic, formal, or structural standpoints, present non-anthropocentric interpretations of the human-nature relationship.
