After a PhD in European Literatures at the University of Bologna (Italy), focusing on nostalgia in 20th-century poetry, Jacopo Masi joined the Centre for Classical Studies of the FLUL as an FCT postdoctoral fellow, carrying out a research project on the concept of ¿threshold¿ in classical culture and 20th-century literature. Presently, he is Junior Researcher in the same centre and, since 2019, he has been investigating the manifestations of ¿silence¿ in ancient and modern literature. In 2018, he co-organized the "Thresholds in Literature and the Arts" International Conference at the University of Lisbon. In 2023, he organized the "Silence of (the) God(s)" International Conference, that was held at the University of Lisbon on November 23-24. He co-edited the volume "Théâtre: esthétique et pouvoir. Tome 1. De l'antiquité classique au XIXe siècle" (Paris: Le Mauscrit, 2016). He is the chief editor of the forthcoming volume "Dedans, dehors et à travers: Perspectives littéraires et comparatistes sur les seuils / In, Out and Through: Literary and Comparative Perspectives on Thresholds" (Paris: Slatkine / Honoré Champion, "Bibliothèque de littérature générale et comparée", 2024). He is the author of the volume "Ce sentiment qui nous rappelle. Déclinaisons de la nostalgie chez Giorgio Caproni, Philip Larkin, Claude Esteban et Seamus Heaney" (Paris: Le Manuscrit, 2018). His research mainly focus on the history of nostalgia and expressions of nostalgia in literature, on the concept of threshold and on the topic of silence. His main fields of interest are Modern and Contemporary European poetry, the reception of Classical literature and, more in general, Cultural and European studies.
