Un progetto di sviluppo di Digital Philology: didattica e ricerca

The aim of this paper is to propose a new methodological approach to the teaching of literature through the acquisition and use of the latest information technology. We imagine a new key to reading texts that will enable the works, their authors and the figures quoted to emerge and be contextualized in the light of the close network of data exchange and preferential pathways offered by the web. Research and teach-ing must be reformulated on the basis of the new technologies dedicated to the organization of infor-mation on the internet (the creation of digital display cases and databases for the consultation of texts) so as to borrow from similar sectors the ability to transmit and codify data, that is both structured and un-ambiguous, machine readable. Thus, we aim at creating a standard codification which could represent the basis for a new and more complete cultural appreciation of the objects studied, which will be entirely digital, as well as more accessible to a wider audience.
