'Identities in motion' engages with recent trends in Italian culture, aiming to be a forum in which to discuss different methodologies and representational practices. In the context of discussing mobility, Italy offers an interesting case study due to the singularity of the colonial past, the complexity of the process of decolonization, the history of migration from and, in the more recent past, to Italy. All these historical and social phenomena will be seen in a multi-disciplinary perspective that encourages a complex awareness of the different meanings of Italian identities and belongings.
