Robert L. Kendrick (Chicago), visiting fellow at the Italian-German Historical Institute, will hold a seminar in FBK’s Aula piccola on April 19, in which he will discuss the growing interest of historians in the topic of “soundscapes” and focus on continuities and discontinuities between the early and late modern age.

The lecture deals with secularization from a sociological perspective. After discussing the concept of secularization and the distinction between religious and secular, the distinction between micro, meso and macro processes will be applied to the religious sphere. Finally, some aspects of the current religious situation in Europe are examined.

A dialogue between Stella Casola (University of Milan) and Paolo Costa (FBK-ISR) on the past, present and future of cultural memory in a postsecular society takes place in the fourth event of the seminar series in memory of Massimo Rosati
