Накратко на български

Италианската литература от 50-те години на миналото century се анализира, за да се види как технологиите променят езика и творчеството. Това помага за по-дълбоко културно разбиране на съвременни проблеми като влиянието на социалните мрежи и изкуствения интелект.

Mapping Remediation in Italian Literature Beyond the Digital Revolution

The MAREITA project (“Mapping Remediation in Italian Literature Beyond the Digital Revolution”) investigated how, since the advent of computers and information technologies in 1950s, literature had to rethink the status of its very own tool—language—as well as the definition of human creativity. To this end, the MSCA Research Fellow conducted this research combined interdisciplinary critical analyses of literary texts with Social Network Analysis and a quantitative approach to the phenomenon of remediation in literature. Project’s goals The first goal of the MAREITA project was to challenge the dominant critical paradigm which sees the digital revolution of the 1990s as an unprecedented turning point in the relationship between literature and electronic media. In fact, issues concerning the process of virtualization stemming from technological progress, have been debated since the dawn of information science in the mid-1950s. The second goal was to question the dominant intellectual approaches which oppose inert literature and all-powerful digital technologies: literature is rarely regarded as a medium capable of competing with the technological actors and, as such, it is not investigated as one of the cultural forces shaping the mediascape. Social impact Investigating the culture feeding technological innovation is highly relevant for society at large, well beyond the academic sphere. The heated debate about the political influence of social media, the preoccupations around the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, the repercussions of online platforms on gig economy and workers’ rights, are all pressing issues that cannot be addressed solely from a technological point of view, but rather call for a deeper cultural reflection. One such reflection of reflection writers—and artists in general—have conducted since the dawn of computer culture. Indeed, their artistic works and theoretical reflections on the theme of digital culture are neither dreams and fantasies nor an escapist game. Rather, they should be regarded as valuable contributions and critical explorations of what it means to be human in the age of the algorithm.

Цел на проекта

The aim of this Fellowship is to develop a strong academic profile by improving my publications record and working in highly interdisciplinary research environments, so as to establish myself as a leading voice in the research on the interconnections between literary and electronic culture and to secure a permanent academic position at a European university. I will carry out my research at the School of Languages, Literature and Cultural Studies at Trinity College Dublin, under the supervision of Dr Clodagh Brook. My project investigates the intermedial dialogue between Italian literature, from the mid-1950s up to the present day, and electronic media. I will combine interdisciplinary critical analyses of literary texts with Social Network Analysis and a quantitative approach to the phenomenon of remediation in literature. The main outputs will be a monograph dedicated to the subject and a website hosting the SNA graphs resulting from my work. Two main research training components will allow me to achieve my goals: I will gain expertise in interdisciplinary research applied to literature through Dr Brook’s mentorship and thanks to the collaboration with the AHRC-funded research project ‘Interdisciplinary Italy 1900-2020: Interart/Intermedia’, for which Dr Brook is the Primary International Investigator. The opportunity to be a part of this research team—the only one currently working on the topic—will allow me to hone my research skills and develop my professional network. Secondly, I will improve my coding skills and learn how to create and analyse network graphs using the necessary software by collaborating with the Centre for Digital Humanities at the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts & Humanities Research Institute. Not only has the Centre an international reputation and vast expertise, but its ongoing project K-PLEX (Horizon 2020) on Humanities and big data shares some of my research aims and methodology, thus opening up possibilities for a fertile collaboration.
