"Synapsis" is an international summer school hosted by the Universities of

Bologna and Siena, which takes place in a beautiful Sixteenth Century

Convent in the Tuscan countryside, just outside Siena. All students and

lecturers are hosted in this conference centre.

Students attend plenary lectures in English in the mornings and attend

small-group seminars in the afternoons. Seminars are taught in English,

Italian, Spanish, French and German, and bring together academic

specialists and creative artists. The school also runs a theatre workshop,

which provides participants with the opportunity to prepare a staged

reading of literary works. The atmosphere is intimate, friendly and

vibrant. In the aftermath of the summer school, students are strongly

encouraged to submit an essay for publication in the school's proceedings:

"Quaderni di Synapsis".

This year's topic will be "Utopia". There will be lectures and seminars by

distinguished scholars from Italy, Britain, France, Switzerland, the US,

Canada, and Spain, including Gillian Beer (Cambridge), Maria di Battista

(Princeton), Vita Fortunati (Bologna), Patrizia Lombardo (Geneva) and

Matthew Beaumont (UCL). For a full programme and further details please

The full cost for the summer school ranges from 510 Euros (double room) to

610 Euros (single room) and includes travel from Siena station, full board

and accomodation. Applications should be submitted via e-mail by Saturday,

15th May 2010.
