Abstract

Cancel Culture and Decolonizing Classics are the topics of a not always peaceful debate, which continues with different solutions in the Universities of the United States of America and Europe. In this dialogue the Authors try to analyze and to understand the different cultural contexts, in order to avoid ideological prejudices and to answer to the actual problems behind the debate.
