These strands include all geographical areas which make our centre unique: Europe, Italy, the Alpes, Mediterranean worlds. Cultural, political and social exchanges with all of the Mediterranean worlds form the backdrop for comparative approaches that are a hallmark of LUHCIE’s working methods.
These strands combine our laboratory’s many identities (history, history of art, musicology, language, Italian literature and civilisation, heritage and the digital humanities) and highlight the centre’s other key feature, a long-term perspective, from antiquity to today.
I. Movements, transfers, borders
Cultural and political transfers, Circulation of ideas and knowledge, Translation, Reception, Mobility, Interactions, Migration, Messengers, Exile, Travel.
Recent approaches to transnational history and world history have bolstered the already long-standing research of the laboratory’s members on international cultural interactions. The movements studied concern both the experience’s of man’s travel, exile and migration from one place to another and the transfer of ideas, artistic forms and works of literature from one time to another or from one language to another.

II. Writings, objects, forms of communication
Languages, Inscriptions, Archives, Physical vestiges, Markings, Bodies, Genre, Rhetoric, Theatre, Music, Cinema, Art and artists, Creation, Editions, Digital Humanities.
The disciplines represented by LUHCIE take account of a diverse range of modes of communication, with an intercultural perspective, which embrace different tools, media and languages. The attention afforded to speech, gestures, bodies, writing, the object, images and sounds allows for analyses which are likely to result in fruitful convergences, from rhetoric to iconography, from a physical vestige to a textual document, from sifting through archives to archaeology and digital output.

III. Sciences and knowledge
Experiences, expertise, know-how, collections, hermeneutics, hybridisation of knowledge, environmental knowledge, scholarly sociability and mobility
Adopting a cross-cutting and transdisciplinary approach faithful to the legacy of LUHCIE, this research area brings together researchers working on science and knowledge across their full thematic spectrum (from theology to the natural sciences, including art, music, law and geography), from the earliest antiquity to the contemporary era. The construction of knowledge is viewed here in a dynamic sense, linked to practical skills, and from an open perspective connecting the Italian and European worlds with the rest of the world. Particular attention is paid to forms of knowledge hybridisation, as well as to environmental knowledge.

IV. Territories, practices and political discourse
Powers, Societies, Actors, Representations, Identities, Rituals, Places and forms of government, Republic, Communalisms, Wars, Revolutions, Resistance, Colonisation, Historiography.
Whether at city-, province- or state-level, or in the context of relations between distant worlds, political sciences are studied with an approach attentive to temporalities, the variety of their actors, of the experiences lived, and the building of their identities. Political facts are considered from many points of view: institutions, law, ideology, dissidence, representations of power, consensus and legitimation building techniques.
