Special Issue “Comics and the Invisible” of Mediascapes Journal, vol. 22, no. 2

Comics and the Invisible is a special issue published by Mediascapes and edited by Matteo Stefanelli (Università Cattolica of Milan) and Francesco Piraino (Giorgio Cini Foundation / Harvard University).

It represents the last step of the Creative Europe project Invisible Lines (https://invisiblelines.eu) realised by Fondazione Giorgio Cini (Italy – coordinator), Central Vapeur (France), Hamelin APS (Italy), and Baobab Books. (Czech Republic).

 

Comics and the Invisible explores the concept of invisibility in comics and illustrations, trying to reply to the following questions: in what terms can comics be understood as an invisible art or, from a very different perspective, as an art of the invisible?
How can it be a tool for telling stories and visualizing ideas that rarely find a place in the ordinary ecology of visual media? Is this art of the invisible a tool to connect with other dimensions (mental, psychological, spiritual, ontological)?

ARCHiPub 01/004

Interdisciplinary series edited by the Digital Centre – ARCHiVe of the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, dedicated to contemporary research in the Digital Humanities.

Alessandro Codello’s contribution introduces “Long Data” as a novel approach to unlocking the cultural heritage within historical archives. This concept contrasts with Big Data by focusing on the deep historical context found in meticulously preserved archives, revealing insights into cultural heritage. Utilizing new Artificial Intelligence technologies in harmony with traditional archival methods, Long Data aims to analyze, transcribe, and model historical data on an unprecedented scale. This approach promises a more comprehensive understanding of history, enhancing studies on societal and cultural evolution. A key example of Long Data’s application is the Venice State Archive (ASVe), which holds over a millennium’s worth of documents. The initiative seeks multidisciplinary collaboration to make accessible this vast archive, thereby safeguarding its cultural heritage and preparing the ground for a revolution in historical research.
