The “G. Leopardi” School of Advanced Studies is organizing the SAF / Advanced Training School titled “Visual Studies: contemporary views and methodologies for analyzing the relationship between humans and images“, which will take place in Macerata from 14 to 17 July 2025.

The summer school represents a moment of multidisciplinary dialogue on the theme of the relationship between humans and images. It aims to provide students not only with an articulate perspective on the subject, but also a multidisciplinary exposure to methods and tools that allow us to analyze and reflect on the structure of images, the function of images and the power of images.
