In the first hybrid event to be held at the Institute since March 2020, and following on from the workshop held in December 2020, the second workshop on representing the absent will investigate further the commonalities and differences between the representation of past and future generations from an interdisciplinary perspective and with a procedural focus. On this occasion, the authors will present their papers to be included in a book to be edited by Prof. Hélène Ruiz Fabri, Prof. Valérie Rosoux (UCLouvain) and Dr Alessandra Donati (University of Luxembourg).
