2-Day Conference, 24-25 September 2025
Taylor Institution Library (St Giles, Oxford)
The conference explores the many aspects of return migration to Southern Italy from the late 19th century to the present day. Bringing together historians, literary and cultural scholars, and social scientists, the conference examines the economic and political dynamics, cultural and artistic responses, and personal and collective memories of return, both imagined and experienced. The programme combines academic panels with keynote lectures and a concluding musical event on Neapolitan songs of return.
