700 Years Without Dante

Virtual Reality and Dream Interpretation in Dante’s Commedia

This past year we all have been forced to communicate through a screen. Like Dante, we live in a sort of exile from real and concrete life, immersed in a virtual reality where, similarly to his character, we dream to restore a “normal” life. After 700 years, the Divine Comedy still functions as an optical instrument that teaches us how to look at the human soul through the lenses of times.

Professor Valerio Cappozzo, Department of Modern Languages at the University of Mississippi, will lead the discussion.

In collaboration with CHAT.
