On Monday 6 July 2026, at 5.30 pm, there will be a Keynote Speech by Gaia Giuliani, our Associate researcher in IN2PAST / IHC, NOVA FCSH, at the International Summer School Opening. 

In its third edition, the 2026 Entanglements International Summer School explores postcolonial horrors as aesthetic, political, and epistemological devices through which literatures stage traumatic memories of colonization, identity tensions, diasporic movements, and the reappearance of the spectral in global modernities. The aim is to reinterpret horror not only as a genre, but as a critical and deconstructive tool for disrupting ethnocentric categories of subjectivity, body, sovereignty, and knowledge.

The Entanglements International Summer School takes place between July 6 and 10, 2026, at the University of Padua.
