Eighty years after the Liberation, the conference aims to explore the transformations of antifascism over the past 35 years, both in Italy and on a global scale. Originally born to oppose historical fascism, antifascism has spanned the 20th century as a political, cultural, and symbolic project. After 1989, amid a crisis of memory, institutional changes, and new global challenges, it has reconfigured itself in unprecedented forms, practices, and languages. The conference adopts an interdisciplinary and multi-scalar approach, structured around four thematic axes: institutions and memory politics; actors and social practices; cultures and countercultures; global and transnational perspectives.
