Description
The Department of Human Studies of the University of L'Aquila has been awarded as one among the "Department of Excellence" at national level (2018-2022) by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research. The award comes with generous funding to carry out a research project on "Arts, Languages, and Media: Translation and Transcodification". Among the aims to be achieved within the framework of the project is the establishment of the book series, Transcodification: Arts, Languages and Media, devoted to the pivotal theoretical concept of the research, namely transcodification. The rationale, and also the novelty, of the series is that of constituting a methodologically interconnected space allowing scholars from different fields in the humanities to reflect on a specific, yet inherently interdisciplinary concept through a shared framework. The main methodological and theoretical questions revolving around transcodification have been investigated in conferences, seminars, summer and winter schools through the discussion of topics ranging from the birth of Epos/epic poetry to translations studies, from contemporary theatre to the many forms of the novel, from figurative arts in the Middle Age to new media, from concepts in both philosophy and science to urban planning and design. The project involves scholars in the Department from a very diverse range of fields, including classical studies, comparative literature, linguistics, visual and performative arts, philosophy. These scholars will be both authors and editors for the series, and together with their respective academic communities will also be the expected readers of the books we are planning. The book series is managed and coordinated by the Center for Transcodification, established at the Department of Human Studies, that takes care of the selection of the proposals, the refereeing process and the delivering of completed manuscripts. The Center will continue its activities beyond the natural ending of the funded project, and it is working to secure future funding for it.
