📚 Leopardi and Post-Enlightenment Studies at Oxford is delighted to present this year’s Leopardi Day at the ICI Berlin:
Change of Scale: Leopardi and the Measure of Modernity, organised by Alessandra Aloisi and Francesco Giusti
🗓 2 July 2026
📍 ICI Berlin Institute for Cultural Inquiry
This year’s event explores Leopardi through the lens of scale — from the infinitesimal to the cosmic, from individual experience to planetary and historical dimensions.
Leopardi remains one of the most radical and intellectually expansive voices of European thought, with a largely underrealised potential.
This event promises rich discussions at the intersection of literature, philosophy, political thought, and environmental humanities.
