As part of the research project “Mediatisation and mediality of history” , the focus of the Institute since 2017 (https://isig.fbk.eu/it/projects/categories/mediatizzazione-e-medialita-dellastoria), the Summer School will investigate through lectures and seminars the role of media in the context of the socio-political and cultural transformations that have typified the early modern and contemporary era. The aim is to reconstruct the development of the media through the categories of mediality, intermediality and transnationality from an historical perspective.
