Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The course aims to provide students with an overview of the main concepts and ideas of textual criticism applied to literary texts, focusing on their linguistic status, their transmission, and their manuscript and print tradition,in relationship with Digital Textuality. The particular pitch of the module, aimed to beginners, will inspire students with basic or limited knowledge of literary history, linguistics and textual criticism to engage with a new and innovative approach to literary texts. Through the analysis of different Digital Scholarly Editions (DSE), by the end of the course the students will be able to recognize the critical paradigm in a DSE and to compare the different theoretical and methodological frameworks for its realization, according to national and international standards, in order to project their own SDE.
