Topics
The conference aims to inaugurate an international and multidisciplinary debate
on knowledge transfer
through
travels
and the
port cities
. Therefore, the aim is to offer a new transversal reading of mobility
(of things, people, and ideas). It will investigate the cultural history of mobility,
but also material aspect
of the journey, going well beyond a purely anecdotal and documentary
approach, unifying its contents.
The conference also intends to analyze the cultural and historical processes of
knowledge transfer
through an innovative approach, which takes into account at the same time
'nodes' and 'networks' that
intersect through the port cities. In fact, in the global network of knowledge
diffusion, a
series of webs
,
made up of travelers, and a series of fundamental
nodal points
such as the port cities can be identified.
In particular, the following aspects are to be investigated:
#

the ways of global circulation of women and men, ideas and assets;
#

transmission of information;
#

the importance of port cities as economic, political and cultural laboratories;


#

the role of travelers as mediators of knowledge;


#

management, legal and administrative, and the reception of travelers, in


particular exiles and
refugees.
