In recent years, Europe has been at the center of sociopolitical events that have dangerously revived the specter of the “Old Continent,” bringing to the fore a multitude of tensions that once again call into question the historical, geographical, and administrative dimensions of this multifaceted region. Issue 21 of Studiolo invites readers to renew critical reflection on Europe in the arts by fostering a transdisciplinary dialogue and prioritizing interpretations that highlight the complex and contradictory nature of a space and an imaginary that are in a state of perpetual transformation.
Drawing on the tension between utopia and violence, illusion and disillusionment found in the myths, concepts, and representations of Europe, this thematic issue —which embraces diachronic perspectives—sets out to explore a wide range of meanings through a variety of methodological and historical approaches.
