  Interarts - mimetic hypertextuality between rewritings and allographic continuity

  The last decades have seen an increase in the number of publications concerned with the theme of trans-textuality, meaning the conscious reuse of themes and subjects. A widespread practice during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, trans-textuality was interrupted during the Romantic age only to be relentlessly resumed until  becoming, today, a real trend in literature and other arts, overlapping genres and artistic expressions.

  Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures

  These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

  Building Audiences for the Book in an Age of Media Proliferation

  By the book 3

  "By the Book 3" brings together scholars from the field of publishing studies, alongside industry professionals, to examine key issues around the digital transformation of the book, as well as to discuss the developing field of publishing studies. If we examine global book production over the last 70 years, there is a clear discrepancy between the growth in population, the number of titles published, and the number of books sold and lent. This divergent trends in book production and consumption pose a set of pressing questions related to the publishing economy, marketing and skills.

  Net Powers. Freedom and Control in the age of the web

  « Poteri nella rete. Libertà e controllo dell’informazione nell’era di Internet ». Nel seminario Enrico Pedemonte e Glauco Benigni dialogano con Teresa Numerico e Domenico Fiormonte. L’incontro, aperto a tutti, è l’occasione per riflettere sulle contraddittorie tendenze dell’informazione e del giornalismo in rete, sempre più in bilico fra entusiasmi libertari e politiche securitarie. I due invitati, entrambi scrittori e giornalisti per testate come Repubblica e L’Espresso, offrono nelle loro recenti pubblicazioni prospettive diverse e originali sull’evoluzione del quarto potere in rete.

  La radio : mass media démocratique ?

  Importance de la radio dans la société de la communication

  Quelle place conserve la radio au sein des moyens de communication de masse. Face à la concentration, aux oligopoles, la radio, par ses spécificités est-elle un média plus démocratique que les autres et peut-elle encore être à même de porter des projets constructifs autour de la culture et de la démocratie. Comment construire ces projets, les développer en Italie, en Europe et à travers le monde ? Quelles synergies, quelles collaborations sont envisageables pour qu'un autre monde médiatique et que d'autres paysages radiophoniques soient possibles. Tels seront les questions et les axes de ce colloque international organisé par la radio libre historique de Milan : Radio Popolare. Un colloque auquel le réseau IREN s'associe et apporte son soutien.
