Venice Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities

The final programme of  the Venice Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities (from 8-12 July 2024 ) is now on line, with a series of Open Events!

The VeDPH Summer School aims at providing advanced and in-depth training to students and scholars in theories, technologies and methods applied to historical monuments, artifacts and texts in the interdisciplinary field of Digital and Public Humanities, focussing on cultural, archaeological, historical, literary, and artistic materials from Venetian sites and cultural heritage institutions. The school will give to the participants the opportunity to engage in debates about digital cultural heritage and public humanities while enhancing their competences and skills in digitising materials and sources and in modelling, analysing and visualising multimedia humanities data.

The first special issue of magazén
The first special issue of magazén

''Megadungeon'', the first special issue of magazén: International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities takes readers on a journey into the vast depths of subterranean mazes and structures. Issue editors Paolo Berti, Stefania De Vincentis, and Gabriele de Seta revise the concept of the megadungeon, originating from role-playing games, as a model to capture the complexity of digital media. Characterized by procedurally generated geographies and self-sustaining ecosystems, megadungeons resonate with key digital aspects: infrastructural stratification, scaling processes, algorithmic logic, and the gamification of everyday life. In this special issue, seven articles respond to the editors' call to explore this speculative analogy from several complementary perspectives: the history of the dungeon in fantasy and gaming; theories of depth and interconnectedness in digital media; bestiaries of new digital creatures and monsters; explorations of open worlds and creative economies in new media art.
