L’emergence de l’inconscient dans la littérature européenne is the title of an international seminar held during the spring/summer 2005 in Bologna, for the PhD course “Les Littératures de l’Europe Unie” and part of the activities organised by professor Umberto Eco’s institution “Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici”
(http://www.sssub.unibo.it/pagine_principali/sem_inconscio.htm).

This series of conferences was conceived to discuss and reflect on the state of the art of psychoanalytical, psychological and psychopathological approaches to the analysis of literature. A red thread, sometimes not apparently evident though always present, has been thus discovered in European literary panorama, connecting themes, linguistic choices and ideologies chosen. This issue of RiLUnE would like to collect this series of fundamental experiences and approaches of specialists belonging to different academic backgrounds, from humanities to sciences, to provide a useful tool of analysis for the community of international researchers.
