Culture Ultime. Per uno studio delle forme contemporanee dell’estremo=Last cultures. Extreme contemporary forms

Abstract

Last cultures. Extreme contemporary forms. On the 19th and 20th of April 2017 in Santa Maria di Leuca and Gagliano del Capo, two small towns located in the last strip of land in Salento, occurred the international convention “Last cultures. Extreme contemporary forms”. During these two intense days of congressional meeting gathered professors, students and doctorates of Italian and international universities who discussed, in different disciplinary fields, about what does imply and mean living and practicing an extreme thought. Each presented speech led to an open discussion between sociology, semiotics, art history, social geography, political economy and pedagogy. The speakers’ essays will be published starting from this issue, with the intent to begin a course of study that we hope is going to be cultivated through time
