Communication, Dissemination & Exploitation Plan
(s’ouvre dans une nouvelle fenêtre)
Connecting different societies through cultural heritage is just one of the many possibilities Digital Humanities offers to promote tolerance, respect, and admiration for different cultural identities. The results of the actions will be disseminated through outputs designed to the particular target audience. Academic community: The researcher will take part in scientific forums. To maximise the impact of the project, both methodological approaches and results will be published in high-quality international peer-reviewed Open Access journals. 1) A paper about mapping travel books will be submitted in Literary Geographies, 2) a paper about analysis of ECH using DH methodologies will be published in Digital Humanities Quarterly; and 3) a paper about Latin American women writers’ perceptions about ECH will be aimed at Gender, Place, and Culture. Dr Comino will also participate in international conferences delivering oral communication to present the project, such as “Humanidades Digitales Hispánicas” (2023) and “European Association for Digital Humanities” (2024) meetings. And the project results will be shared by mailing to Digital Humanities research groups “Humanidades Digitales Hispánicas” and “Humanist mailing list”.Non-academic audiences: Engaging society is the best way to change historical narratives regarding past women’s roles and the impact of the meaning of European Cultural Heritage in our lives. The researcher will promote REWIND via the project website with a blog in which updates the research progress. The website will not be limited to an exhibition purpose, but it will also seek the collaboration of the general public through StoryMaps using the ArcGIS platform, interactive timelines, and literary fragments that will help users to understand the multiple relationships between Geography, History, Literature, and Cultural Heritage. REWIND will have an active presence on Twitter and LinkedIn from the beginning of the project because these social media are excellent for strategies of dissemination and democratisation of research, making a wide audience participant in the project and promote a more egalitarian society. Complementing this plan of communication, Dr Comino will record a podcast of the episodes narrating biographies and travel experiences of C. Matto, I. Carrasquilla, I. Echeverría, M. E. Camarillo, and Z. A. Cáceres. The researcher will participate in the outreach events such as the UNL Open Doors and the European Researchers’ Night. She will also organise an exhibition in the UNL Library about the travel books of the project on Women Writers Day. Lastly, she will collaborate with “Giner de los Ríos” High School to promote Digital Humanities and inspire and empower students with different resources, backgrounds, nationalities, and gender through workshops where she will explain the impact of technology applied to Humanities, different items of the European Cultural Heritage referred to in travel books will be analysed, and the feelings they arouse in students will be explored. Through these events, she will share both the project results and strategies to be involved with this research from the local scale to favour access to culture.The impact reach of this investigation will be assessed by gathering statistical information of feedback: 1) the number of viewers of the website and the StoryMaps, 2) the number of listeners of the podcast, 3) the number of visitors to UNL Library exhibition, 4) the number of downloads of datasets in UNL’s Repository (RUN), 5) the survey of the high school’s students, and 6) social media engagement rates, such as the number of followers and impressions.
