2 scholarships "Networks and paths of European cultures"

The selected project must be relevant to textual transmission, in a synchronic sense (translations, compendiums, adaptations, editions, comments, etc.) or in a diachronic sense (manuscript and printed tradition, subsequent reworkings, rewritings). The process of text transmission can be analyzed both from a linguistic point of view (translation techniques, modernizations) and from a philological-literary, cultural and ideological point of view (tradition, reception, parodies, subversive rewritings, actualizations, contaminations).

In any case, the investigation must concern the reasons and methods of transmission of a text or a textual corpus - in written or oral tradition - between different linguistic and/or cultural contexts or, chronologically, from a historical-cultural context to a context historically subsequent.

The doctoral scholarships are financed within the Project of Excellence

NEW 1 grant funded by Comune di Rovereto related to the theme “The dissemination of research”

The theme-based grant called “the dissemination of research” aims at training a highly qualified specialist who is able to analyze the shapes of texts, which communicate the research and enhance cultural exchanges between research and territory, with a peculiar reference to the city of Rovereto.

The selected project will have to weave theoretical and historical research on methods, patterns, languages of communication, by following an interdisciplinary and trans-media perspective and developing the project “Ecoltura. Per un’ecologia della cultura” in an innovative way to spread biographies and texts of still little known individuals from Trentino.

The project will thus have to apply the theoretical analysis to some case studies to convey cultural exchanges between the academic research and dissemination to different audiences (schools, museums, libraries, associations).
