The first episode of Inclusioni, the podcast of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures in collaboration with Fuori Aula Network, is now available on major platforms.
Have you ever wondered about the relationship between reading and digital technologies? What changes cognitively when we read a text on paper versus on a screen? Have you heard of “deep reading”? What is the Ljubljana Manifesto?
In this episode, you’ll hear a conversation in English between Massimo Salgaro, a professor of German literature in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, and Adriaan Van der Weel, a professor of Book Studies at Universiteit Leiden in the Netherlands. Professor Van der Weel inaugurated on 17 January for the first seminar of Digital Spritz, a series of meetings on Digital Humanities organized by the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures. In the first episode, titled “The Screen Challenge”, Van der Weel focuses on the differences between reading printed texts and reading on screens.
Happy listening!
