| Abstract | With this session, the Leeds Centre for Dante Studies inaugurates a new direction of its activity, aiming to gather and promote scholarly interest in all aspects of the reception of Dante Alighieri's works, transnationally and across the centuries. This panel deals with the modern reception of Dante's works, both within the Italian context and globally speaking. Whether through the intertextual and performative use of Dante's texts by two of the most celebrated 20th-century Italian writers (Carlo Emilio Gadda and Pier Paolo Pasolini), or through the analysis of the reception of Dante's works (via Wikipedia) in countries around the world, this session will show the vast, enduring resonance of Dante for both prominent literary figures as well as common users of the Internet. |
