SUMMARY:Amor Vincit Omnia: Love as a Destructive Force in Italian Arts a
 nd Literature April 2015\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Keynote Address:&nbsp\;Dr. Giuseppe Mazzotta\, Sterling Prof
 essor of Humanities for Italian\, Yale University\;&nbsp\;Closing Addres
 s:&nbsp\;Dr. Hendrik Dey\, Professor of Art History\, Hunter College.&nb
 sp\;The students of the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures 
 in the specialization of Italian and the Department of Art History at th
 e University of Chicago present&nbsp\;an interdisciplinary graduate stud
 ent conference.\n\nThe motto “Love conquers all” has become ubiquito
 us for love’s ability to overcome all obstacles\, physical as well as 
 psychological\, that impede the union of two lovers. However\, in its or
 iginal context “amor vincit omnia” in Virgil actually refers to love
 ’s ability to destroy both the lover and the beloved\; the speaker of 
 this phrase\, Gallus\, immediately kills himself after its declaration. 
 The destructive nature of love has been addressed by Italian artists and
  writers from antiquity to modern times. Virgil’s depiction of Dido\, 
 Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne\, Dante’s Paolo and Francesca\, Verdi’
 s Aida\, and\, more recently\, Fellini’s Cabiria and De Chirico’s Ar
 iadne all explore love’s disastrous consequences. This conference aims
  to explore the varieties of representation of sorrowful love and its ev
 olution over time\; new understandings that can be gleaned from a variet
 y of evidence\; and dialogue and divergence between portrayals of tragic
  Italian love across the Humanities.
