First World War Diaries: Making the Private Public
2020
This article analyses several World War I Diaries written by soldiers on the Front. Starting with the circumstances of publication and their effects on the text, the article addresses the passage of these very private texts into public life, before turning to the role played by the diaries for the soldiers who write them. Studies of the diary as a genre are used to show how war diaries fit into the more general genre. Finally the article turns to the reception of these works, by studying what part literary distance may play for the soldiers keeping a diary, and by arguing that the task of making sense of these texts has been transferred to present-day readers.
Nakladničke studije: dio kulturne prakse plus x?
2015
In some parts of the world, Publishing Studies are a fairly well-established field of research as well as of higher education. Not least since this is not so much the case in continental Europe, the Publishing Studies community increasingly sees a more elaborated self-concept as an important prerequisite for a prosperous further development of the field in research as well as in teaching. This paper starts off by relating the question for an advanced self-concept of Publishing Studies to the question what criteria have to be fulfilled to call a field (like Publishing Studies) a scholarly discipline. As the second source for the possible formation of a more elaborate self-concept, the paper …
«DI RICCHE LIBRERIE FORNITI, O NON SANNO, O NON NE VOGLIONO GIOVARSI». NOTE SU CULTURA, EDITORIA E CIRCOLAZIONE LIBRARIA IN SICILIA (SECC. XVIII-XIX)
2015
SOMMARIO: Il saggio ricostruisce le vicende dell’editoria e della tipografia in Sicilia tra tardo Settecento e primo Ottocento, riconnettendole alla questione della circolazione libraria nel delicato frangente contraddistinto dall’espulsione gesuitica e dall’abolizione dell’Inquisizione, sino alla repressione antigiacobina e all’esperienza costituzionale di stampo inglese. L’indubbio rilancio dell’editoria, che nell’isola risponde alle rinnovate esigenze delle élites urbane e al vasto progetto borbonico di riforme, subisce un’inevitabile battuta d’arresto nel 1799, quando la censura, ora saldamente nelle mani del governo, ne impedisce l’ulteriore espansione comprimendo gli spazi di moviment…
#selberdenken.
2023
Soziale Medien stellen wichtige Bühnen für zeitgenössische Konflikte um Wissen und Wahrheit dar. Der Artikel widmet sich vor diesem Hintergrund dem Gebrauch des Hashtags #selberdenken auf Twitter. Mittels einer quantitativen Datenanalyse wird zunächst die Konjunktur der Verwendung des Hashtags nachgezeichnet. Eine anschließende hermeneutische Sequenzanalyse zeigt, wie in seinem Gebrauch ein Anspruch auf epistemische Autonomie zum Ausdruck gebracht wird: Allein die eigenen Erfahrungen, Interpretationen und Quellen gelten als vertrauenswürdig. Dies korrespondiert mit einem grundlegenden Misstrauen in die von den Massenmedien konstruierten Realitäten und einer Trivialisierung von Erkenntnispro…

Provincial Scientific Societies and Publishing: Centre and Peripheries of Publishing Science in late Victorian Britain
2022
Publishing, albeit in many cases irregular, became one of the main activities of provincial scientific societies from the 1860s. In this way, the natural history societies and field clubs contributed to the inflation of scientific publications were thought to disrupt the progress of science. As a remedy, the creation of regional and regular periodicals instead of the publishing by individual societies was suggested. The appearance of the regional federations of natural history societies in the 1870s shows that the need to publish became even greater. The Midland Union of Natural History Societies (1877-1895) was founded with the aim of “imagining” a Midland community of naturalists through …
Looking ahead in games research
2021
This thematic issue presents a number of emerging scholarships into the study of digital gaming. The articles are based on a 2019 symposium on game studies hosted by the Digital Games Research section of ECREA. As the phenomena related to digital gaming keep on evolving and emerging, so must research keep up with the times and constantly challenge itself. Whether speaking about validating previously developed research methods, imagining totally new ones, or even challenging the whole philosophy of science on which research is being done, there is a constant need for reappraisal and introspection within games research. As a cultural medium that has become deeply embedded into the social fabr…
