Exploring (Artificial) Contexts across Language, Literature, and
Culture"

Host Institution: University of Salerno
Website: https://sites.google.com/unisa.it/aiasummerschoolunisa/home

Dates: 15-Jul-2026 - 17-Jul-2026
Location: University of Salerno, Italy

Minimum Education Level: PhD students, MA students, young scholars

Focus: Linguistics: language change and variation, fieldwork
methodology and data collection, statistical and quantitative
analysis.
Literary and Cultural Studies: transmedial movement of genres, motifs,
and narrative structures, examining how symbolic repertoires and
collective memories are reinterpreted as they travel across media.
Description:
The Summer School explores the complexity of a cultural environment in
which texts, languages, and images are constantly recombined through
practices of adaptation, rewriting, and new forms of textuality,
thereby redefining the very concepts of context and originality.
Designed to enrich specialist training from the first year of the PhD
programme onward, the Summer School offers opportunities for
methodological reflection across the three main areas of English
Studies: Linguistics, Literature, and Cultural Studies. The programme
provides early-career scholars with the tools to analyse how
contemporary English language, literature, and culture are shaped by
new practices, through direct engagement with experts and targeted
workshop activities.
In the field of Linguistics, particular attention will be devoted to
language change and variation phenomena in both natural and mediated
contexts. Special emphasis will be placed on fieldwork methodology and
data collection, promoting a rigorous approach to the statistical and
quantitative analysis of evidence.
In the areas of Literary and Cultural Studies, the AIA Summer School
will explore the transmedial movement of genres, motifs, and narrative
structures, examining how symbolic repertoires and collective memories
are reinterpreted as they travel across media. Participants will
analyse how texts respond to new interpretative contexts through
rewriting and adaptation, opening up further critical reflections.
The programme is structured over three days and is characterised by a
strong practical and hands-on approach.
