2021 Roma Tre Digital Humanities Summer School Tran(s)missions
TRAN(S)MISSIONS: how multimediality shapes interdisciplinary research in the field of Italian and Visual Studies
The "digital revolution" forces us both to rethink the correspondences between art and science and to reconsider the role of technologies in literature. The Summer School Tran(s)missions: how multimediality shapes interdisciplinary research in the field of Italian and Visual Culture Studies explores the meaning of interdisciplinarity and multimediality using a synergistic approach that combines different methodologies coming from the field of Digital Humanities, from studies on digital cultures and from research methods focused on the materiality of the object. Through the application in a laboratory form of the devices used in digital humanities, the Summer School brings participants closer to the knowledge of the tools suitable for the identification of thematic relationships that affect the computational world from the textual, visual and spatial point of view, as it is presented in different media, forms and literary sources. The inclusion of scholars and artists working in the international field, and coming from different sectors, is seen in a dialogical key to widen the debate around Digital Humanities and digital cultures, in order to encourage a comparison between different methodologies and alternative procedures. Through a series of meetings within the epistemological framework of multimedia, Tran(s)missions offers the possibility to confront the transformations involving the field of Italian Studies, to be understood in its broader meaning of Cultural Studies.
