The focus of this third edition is on mobility connected to the job market in Italy, ranging from exploitative practices to labour flexibility. Identities in motion 3 will be a forum to discuss the impact that precariato has on contemporary Italian culture and how it has been represented in recent artistic works.

'Identities in motion' engages with recent trends in Modern Languages research, 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 need to be seen in a multi-disciplinary perspective that encourages a complex awareness of the different meanings of Italian identites and belonging.
