This talk, "Mediterranean Afterlives: Migration and Memory in Contemporary Italian Sephardi Authors," is free and open to the public. Associate Professor Dario Miccoli, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, will present Jewish authors from the Middle East, North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean – specifically Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Rhodes – who emigrated to Italy in the 1950s and 1960s. Based upon the analysis of a corpus of novels, autobiographies and memoirs published over the last thirty years, Miccoli will discuss the history of Sephardi migration to Italy and how the memories of the country of origin have been narrated vis-à-vis the country of arrival.
