Activity
The group is formed on the basis of a common interest in the novel form and the shared conviction that its study can lead to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern today's society and world. The research group investigates the novel form in a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective (historical-philosophical, artistic-literary, philological, linguistic and cognitive) with the aim of studying and describing its genesis and structures in a global perspective, also investigating the interrelations between novelistic creativity and cognitive structures. Topics of particular interest to the group are the connections between the novel form and ethics and the relationship between the spread of novel narratives and the process of constructing a national identity in different cultures. Among other things, the research group aims to collaborate with groups and research centres at both regional and national as well as European level, and to participate in national and international funding calls. Thanks also to the support of the partners involved, the group aims to link its research to the regional, national and international territory by organising study conferences, lectures and events that are also open to the general public, collaborating in the dissemination of historical, philosophical, cognitive and literary knowledge. The group meets every three months, in person or online, to organise research activities (conferences, seminars, publications).
