In addition to being the interface between ancient literature and modern literature, according to the brilliant teaching of Curtius. Dante is also a visionary prophet of the lines of development of modern culture, and not only literary, of which he is capable of indicating, from his historical position, the goals and limits, as a great interpreter of the Florentine saw when he wrote that Dante "is not a survivor, but someone who has come before us" (Contini). This explains the uninterrupted, and increasingly frequent, re-use of Dantesque materials in contemporary artistic experimentation, not only Italian but also planetary, thanks to the global diffusion of the values of European modernity.

 

These considerations lead us to propose, on the occasion of the Seventh Centenary of the Death of the Supreme Poet, and within the general programme Madrid Città/Ciudad Dantesca, a different approach to the traditional interpretative approach to his work, which emphasises its problematically innovative aspects as opposed to those of recapitulation of the past and of tradition, a tendency which, moreover, can be seen in some of the most recent studies. 

 

This Madrid meeting is the first part of a conference that will be carried in two phases, the first in Madrid, academically promoted by the Asociación Complutense de Dantología, and the second in Barcelona, under the auspices of the Societat Catalana d'Estudis Dantescos, in an event that continues the collaborative work that the two associations have maintained for more than twenty years.
