PIMo

 

La COST Action PIMo (l’unica Action a guida italiana di preminente interesse umanistico) coordina un gruppo di ricercatori provenienti da 35 paesi, un mix straordinario di oltre 250 studiosi di lingue, competenze, generazioni diverse tutti impegnati a ricostruire le connessioni culturali e affettive dei popoli che hanno abitato e percorso il Mediterraneo in un arco cronologico molto lungo, dal 1492 al 1923.  Il progetto è articolato in quattro gruppi di lavoro: Things in Motion; Ideas in Motion; Paper in Motion; People in Motion.  Componenti del Core Group di PIMo: Giovanni Tarantino (Chair); Katrina O’Loughlin (Vice-Chair); Cátia Antunes, Rosita D’Amora, José María Pérez Fernández, Luisa Simonutti (WG Leaders); Dónal Hassett (Communication Officer); Marta Bucholc (Training Schools Coordinator); Mirko Sardelić, Rocío Gutiérrez Sumillera (Mobility Grants Coordinators).
Le numerose pubblicazioni e attività congressuali e didattiche  e le opportunità di collaborazione e supporto alla ricerca sono documentate nel sito web.
Tra le attività che hanno direttamente coinvolto colleghi del SAGAS si segnalano: il primo congresso annuale di PIMo, ospitato dalla Biblioteca Riccardiana di Firenze (Proff. Biffi, Zorzi, Minuti); The 18th Century Translators Dictionary (Prof. R. Minuti); il database iconografico In Your Face (Prof.ssa V. Galimi); il seminario ‘Dancing for Peace’ e la contestuale messa in scena del 'Ballet of The Nations' di Vernon Lee (Proff. M. Pacini, C.
