Entanglements: Postcolonial Horrors - International Summer School
Padova, Complesso Beato Pellegrino
Organization: University of Padua
At its third edition, in 2026 the Entanglements summer school is centered on Postcolonial Horrors and aims to explore horror as an aesthetic, political, and epistemological symbol through which postcolonial literatures stage the traumatic memories of colonization, identity tensions, diasporic movements, and the re-emergence of the spectral within global modernities. The goal is to interpret horror not only as a genre, but as a critical and deconstructive tool capable of destabilizing ethnocentric categories of subjectivity, body, sovereignty, and knowledge.
Plenary talks by leading international scholars hailing from different spheres of knowledge and authors will be followed by workshops enabling participants to put the acquired insights into practice. The lingua franca of the School will be English, although please note that workshops will be provided in Spanish and Italian, as well.
