We are pleased to announce that preparations are underway for the
XXVIII International O&L Symposium,
which will take place this year in Agrigento, from October 23 to 25, 2025.
At the most recent Assembly of Members, the following topics were chosen for discussion at the Symposium:
- The names of “bad ones”: antagonists and negative characters
- Names in autobiographical writings
- The anthropological foundations of names: taboo, apotropaic, and magical names
- Cases of renaming: when characters assign themselves a name, nickname, or pseudonym
- Onomastics in the works of Andrea Camilleri
If you are interested in attending the Symposium or submitting a paper for consideration in the journal Il Nome nel testo, please submit:
- A brief abstract (maximum one page, up to 36,000 characters including spaces)
- A concise CV
