The Teatrino hosts a day of seminars organised by the Dipartimento di Filosofia e Beni Culturali of Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia dedicated to hybrids and monsters in Antiquity, modern and contemporary culture.
Taking as the starting point the dichotomy between the self and the other, often at the basis of cultural research and thoughts, the speakers investigate the theme from different points of view: from chimeras and other hybrid creatures to the relationship between natural order and moral order; from the new man-made hybrids to questions about the future of human nature and the role of technology; up to questions about cultural identity.
Curated by Silvia Burini, Barbara Da Roit, Fabrizio Turoldo.
