| Dall’Europa all’Asia: un cammino transmediale fra traduzioni, riscritture, trasposizioni e scambi culturali | A cura dei dottorandi del seminario di ricerca e innovazione, coordinato dalla prof.ssa Menetti
I rapporti fra la cultura italiana e le altre culture europee, così come i rapporti fra le culture europee e il resto del mondo, costituiscono un interessante e sterminato campo di indagine. L’idea di questo progetto è quella di dialogare con studiose e studiosi di settori e di media differenti per costruire un ideale viaggio che va dall’Europa all’Asia, passando per il Vicino e Medio Oriente, soffermandosi sulle modalità con cui le culture si sono confrontate, mescolate e influenzate a vicenda.

Activity 1
Title: Advanced Methods in Conversation Analysis (CA)
Full description:
The course is aimed at Master and DPhil students beginning their research, and who may be considering using CA as their methodology. The course will be organised in workshop format – that is, it will consist of some lectures on key aspects of CA’s perspective and methods but will primarily involve students in practical work through hands-on group work on data, the purpose of which will be to provide participants with core skills necessary to conduct CA research. Key topics will include i) preliminary data analysis, ii) assembling and working with collections of data examples, iii) CA’s comparative approach, iv) how to analyse social action through turn design and sequence, and v) multimodal analysis of embodied interaction. Students will have the opportunity to apply i) -v) to original data, under the supervision of Prof. Paul Drew, who is one of the leading scholars in the field, internationally. By the end of the course, participants will be able to replicate the acquired methodologies and apply them in the analysis of their own data and project work.
Duration in hours: 16
Teaching language: English
Activity 2
Title: Two-day research workshop on Interpreted medical conversations.
Full description: The workshop is addressed to advanced DPhil students, post-doc researchers and their supervisors, with basic competence in the CA methodology, and whose research focuses upon interpreted/mediated medical interaction. The workshop will be organized in the shape of data sessions or presentations of the participants’ ongoing research, with the aim of contributing to their lines of research and provisional findings. These activities will enhance and sharpen up the participants’ analytical skill and competences.
Duration in hours: 14
Teaching language: English
Massimo Riva
Professor of Italian Studies and Modern Culture and Media - Brown University (Providence, USA) - massimo_riva@brown.edu
Progetto Didattico: Short-Term Visiting Professorship (Suggested timeframe for a 30-day seminar: May 2023)
Titolo: “Simulating Reality: Immersive Experience from Analog to Digital (and vice versa)”
Full description. Modeling and simulation can be considered the prevalent “mode of knowledge” of our contemporary techno-culture (Levy). Computer-generated models are ubiquitous and data simulation increasingly pervades and regulates human activities. VR and AR applications characterize high impact initiatives like the UNVR, transform the museum as both a physical space and a virtual experience and enable Cultural Heritage Recreation. Neuroscientists and philosophers of the mind seriously debate the possibility that we actually live in a simulation, a hypothesis made plausible by emergent technologies such as machine learning, AI, and BCI (Bostrom, Chalmers). How is this new paradigm affecting the humanities? The goal of this seminar is to critically assess the epistemology of simulation from the interdisciplinary perspective of the digital humanities. After an introductory discussion of key theoretical and methodological concepts, we will review four historical case studies presented in my digital monograph, Shadow Plays: Virtual Realities in an Analog World (Stanford: Stanford University Press, digital division, 2022): the cosmorama, the phantasmagoria, the panorama, and the stereoscope. These optical devices and popular forms of entertainment from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries foreshadow the impact of present-day VR, AR, and XR technologies on modern culture and life, from virtual mobility and panoptic surveillance to infotainment and utopian/dystopian imagination. On the one hand, we will examine how these analogue technologies were conceived and built at the intersection of experimental knowledge, artistic practices, and popular culture, in order to produce virtual replicas of the world in response to specific cultural challenges and social transformations. On the other, we will reflect on the opportunities presented by our ability to simulate these and other analogue artifacts from the past using the digital tools forged in the present. Students will have access to interactive simulations included in my digital monograph through the Stanford UP platform and will be able to evaluate the digital monograph itself as a new publishing format and the “simulation” of a
printed book.
Organization and Assessment: The seminar will meet four times, as outlined in detail below: each meeting will be devoted to an analysis of the aforementioned case histories and a discussion of contemporary applications that both develop and transform simulating experiences. Using the resources of the Estense Digital Library or other repositories, students will be invited to contribute their own projects, thought experiments, or proofs of concept for textual and visual simulations based on their specific area of research.
Four Meetings (May 2023; 3 hours each = 12 credit hours in total)
