PQCifris 2022, co-organized by FBK aims at bringing together students and researchers interested in post-quantum cryptography, introducing the topic, and offering the opportunity to present and discuss recent advances in the current research.

We use a rich administrative dataset on individual tax returns from 2008 to 2015 to analyse the behavioural and distributive effects of a flat tax (FT) reform introduced in 2011 for residential property income in Italy replacing the progressive personal income tax.

People care about crime, with the spatial distribution of both actual and perceived crime affecting the amenities from living in different areas and residential decisions.

This seminar addresses the question of the body after death as the Arab-Muslim tradition describes it first in the Koran and Haddith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad), and then in the abundant literature of what is called adâb al-Kabr (the salutary terrors from the grave).

FBK contributes also this year to the national reference event for nanotechnologies.

Inspired by the comparison of Christ’s message to a “light yoke” (Mt 11: 28-30), this talk surveys the trajectory of Christian hedonism of the Renaissance/modern period, with special reference to Lorenzo Valla and its impact on contemporary thought. FBK-ISR International Seminar 2022

Drawing inspiration from the Latin American scholarship on decoloniality, this contribution has a twofold objective. On the one hand, it intends to shed light on the role of language, in a broad sense, as a means of colonial perpetuation in the horizontal world of the digital sphere; on the other, it aims to present some theoretical-methodological perspectives, in a semiotic key, capable of de-territorializing research in this field, by paying particular attention to the exploration of technological frontiers.

The study aims showing how differences between communities translate into “otherism”, radicalism, and political polarisation. Choosing Sri Lanka as an example, it will study Sinhala identity narration, allowing this majoritarian group to act as under constant threat by the “other” (firstly Tamils, now Muslims).

Technological innovation and body enhancement seem to challenge the process of polarization that has been traditionally associated with corporeality, favouring forms of hybridization that entail relevant consequences in terms of signification, as well as regards the ethical dimension. The seminar deals with such issues by combining a thorough literature review with the analysis of relevant case studies.
