Mourning: different times, different forms

This interdisciplinary collaboration brings together academics from modern languages, English, and science, as well as people from the creative sector.

The conference investigates the relationship between mourning and poetry, autobiography, the novel, the essay, and diaries.

It then looks to the role of photography and the visual arts as expressions of mourning.

Research questions explore relationships between the medieval and the modern; words and images; and the individual and the collective.

A conference, Mourning: different times, different forms, was held on 14 - 15 May 2019 in Rome.
