Re-mediating the Early Book: Pasts and Futures

Descripción del proyecto

Investigación de la adaptabilidad del libro en el pasado

Ya sean libros electrónicos digitales, manuscritos antiguos u obras impresas, los libros siguen siendo cultural y económicamente valiosos porque son adaptables. El proyecto REBPAF (Re-Mediating the Early Book: Pasts and Futures), financiado por las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, se centrará en cómo lidiaron los copistas, impresores y empresarios de los siglos XV y XVI con el proceso de transformación cultural y comercial de adaptar los libros manuscritos a versiones impresas. En REBPAF también se investigará la relevancia de este proceso para el mundo digital mediante la participación de las partes interesadas no científicas (como editores, o libreros) y científicas por igual. El resultado esperado es una mayor apreciación del valor histórico y futuro subyacente de los libros.

Objetivo

"The digital revolution is opening our eyes to the important historical truth that the enduring cultural and economic value of the book has always depended on its adaptability to different media, today from printed book to e-book (and back again), and in the past from manuscript book to printed book (and vice versa). The MSCA Doctoral Network ""Re-Mediating the Early Book: Pasts and Futures"" focuses on the ways in which 15th- and 16th-century book producers (scribes, printers, entrepreneurs) negotiated the dynamic relations between the manuscript book and the printed book and adapted to the evolving challenges of the market; and it demonstrates the continuing relevance of these cultural and economic negotiations to the modern world. To this end, it unites the interests of present-day organisations that re-mediate the early book – publishers, bookdealers, museums, creative and heritage industries – with those of academic scholarship, with the double aim of (1) engaging a new generation of medievalists and early modernists in an innovative and collaborative research programme that asks fundamental and interdisciplinary questions about the history of the book and the written word and its future in a digital environment; and (2) equipping the researchers recruited to this Doctoral Network with high-level transferable skills and competences to be acquired and applied not just in academic settings but also through secondments and training workshops provided by a suite of nine European non-academic partners that have a direct interest in, and relevance to, our research agenda.
