How does literature challenge power and reshape the world?

Join the Summer School Postcolonial Transtextual Dialogues and explore how postcolonial theory redefines knowledge, identity, and resistance.

You will delve into contemporary literature, critical theory, and global imaginaries beyond traditional borders and discuss power, memory, and emancipation in dialogue with eco-feminism, queer studies, and post-human thought.

This programme will also allow you to discover how subaltern voices reclaim agency and create new futures and to engage with thinkers like Lugones and Mbembe on decolonial knowledge and geopolitics.

The vibrant academic setting of Padua, Italy will pave the way for a unique intellectual journey and lead you to connect with an international network of scholars and students.

Challenge dominant narratives — and imagine new ones.

This is more than a summer course — it is a space for intellectual encounter and political reflection.
