Multiethnic L.A. in the 1930s: The Works of John Fante

19.02.2021

The second semester 2020-2021 of the Annual Workshop in English and American Literary and Cultural Studies begins with the conference Multiethnic L.A. in the 1930s: The Works of John Fante. 

The meeting hosts Elisa Bordin from Ca' Foscari University of Venice.

The Annual Workshop in English and American Literary and Cultural Studies proposed by the Department of Linguistic and Literary Studies of the University of Padua and organized by Marilena Parlati and Anna Scacchi, offers BA, MA and PhD students a well-established site for encountering and confronting with Italian and international scholars who present their research with their related present or future outcome. Quite intentionally, no prefigured theme is set as a grid for these lectures, which rather aim at inaugurating discourses and sparkling interest on as varied research methodologies and paths as possible in the area of Anglophone literatures and cultures from the very distant past to the closest contemporaneity.

All conferences will be held online trough Zoom platform starting at 2.30 pm.
