MODELLI DI SCRITTURA E LETTURA DEL TESTO DIGITALE

The advent of digital technologies has had great impact on consolidated areas of tradition while representing, after the typographic revolution, a new twist on the modalities of creating and using texts. The aim of this course is to discuss the possibilities that technological innovations offer to writing, reading and interpretation practices. Through the proposal of some textual models of various kinds (literary, journalistic, etc.) and of different genres (narrative, deliberative, argumentative texts, etc.) the course aims to consolidate and enhance skills in writing, reading and critical analysis, paying particular attention:

1) to the most used coding models for online publication of texts;

2) to the processing of the digital texts through quantitative analysis softwares;

3) to the identification of lexically and semantically relevant elements in order to decode and rewrite texts;

4) to the digital tools and techniques for learning and teaching humanities in school and university;

5) to the hermeneutic value related to lexicography and concordances, connected to other methods of reading texts by IT.

This theoretical platform will be applied to the texts in a laboratory context through some study 'cases'.
