Bookcity 2021: back in attendance!
The Milan event dedicated to books and publishing turns 10 years old
From November 17 to 21, Milan will come alive with events related to the world of books and publishing: it is the tenth edition of Bookcity that this year, after the edition fully in remote in 2020, returns in presence. A lot of meetings with authors, conferences, book presentations and round tables that will be scattered around the city.
Once again this year IULM University will be the protagonist with a series of meetings organized around three important thematic issues. The first one is connected to an international event ("After the Wave") which takes into consideration the so-called "Long 68" and its legacy, deployed within imaginaries that are now transnational. Not far from these issues is the link of problems evoked by the practices of translation, both in a literary sense (with particular regard to a figure still as topical as that of George Orwell) and in a media sense (with a focus on the theme of dubbing). Finally, from a university of communication there can only come a lively and even conflicting reflection on the role of communication and politics in the time of the pandemic
Below is the calendar of IULM events, which will take place partly in person and partly via streaming
