TLDR
A review essay explores three recent publications in the digital humanities that are relevant for scholars of modern literature as mentioned in this paper, including Comparative Textual Media, which provides an exciting array of close readings and cultural histories of textuality, and Digital Modernism, a collection edited by Pressman and N. Katherine Hayles.Abstract:
This review essay explores three recent publications in the digital humanities that are relevant for scholars of modern literature. Jessica Pressman’s Digital Modernism fruitfully opens new modes of comparison between modern literature and electronic literature, though it depends on an outdated definition of modernism. Jerome McGann’s A New Republic of Letters exhorts all literature scholars to renew the traditions of philology in order to represent the history of literature in the digital realm — a salutary, but inconsistently argued, lesson. Comparative Textual Media, a collection edited by Pressman and N. Katherine Hayles, which provides an exciting array of close readings and cultural histories of textuality, is strongly recommended. Taken together, these three books reveal the emergence of a new methodological modernism in the digital humanities.read more

Il romanzo digitale
Abstract:
L’articolo propone una riflessione sullo stato dell’arte del romanzo italiano nel mondo digi- tale svolta attraverso l’analisi dei testi in prosa della modernità presenti nel portale Biblio- teca Italiana e affronta i casi di studio di Manzoni, Pirandello e Tozzi, per analizzare tre progetti complementari e diversi di edizione cartacea e digitale, e di interazione tra ricerca accademica, istituzioni bibliotecarie ed editoria. I casi mostrano come il romanzo, per la sua polifonia, le sue dinamiche genetiche, la sua contaminazione con le arti visive e drammati- che, richieda una infrastruttura digitale che metta in relazione tutti questi aspetti tra loro, anche in chiave didattica, costituendo un banco di prova della necessaria trasformazione dell’edizione critica digitale in un sito di ricerca e conoscenza dei testi e dei loro autori.
This article proposes a reflection on the state of the art of the Italian novel in the digital world carried out through the analysis of modern prose texts in the website BibliotecaItaliana.it, examining the case studies of Manzoni, Pirandello, and Tozzi, and in particular three com- plementary projects and several digital editions as well as interactions among academic rese- arch, institutions, librarians, and publishers. The case studies show how the novel — thanks especially to its polyphony, its genetic dynamics and contamination with the visual and dra- matic arts — requires an infrastructure that also links all these aspects from an educational point of view. The novel may be considered as a testing ground for the necessary transforma- tion of the digital critical edition into a “knowledge site” of texts and their authors.
