Call for Papers | Issue 2/2020 magazén is looking for contributors to its 2020 inaugural volume entitled “Fusions”, which will devote also the second semestral issue of the journal to the intertwining landscape emerging from the recent development of digital and public humanities. As a matter of fact, in the last two decades much effort was placed in defining separate disciplinary fields, in order to canonise and validate the use of digital methodologies or public approaches in the specific subsets of the humanities. However, evidence suggests that digital and public challenges facing singular disciplines are actually common to the entire field of the humanities, thus favouring a cross-disciplinary approach rather than thematic isolation. Indeed, the impact of digitisation and public involvement offered a unique opportunity to the humanities: a window for experimentation with merged methodologies, blended sharing practices, joined representation modes, interpenetrated material research. In this process new actors, factors and agents emerged that are about to consolidate today’s landscape in the digital and public humanities, although still on the search for standards and best practices that could suit the entire field. For its inaugural volume magazén is set to examine in two semestral issues (Summer 2020 and Fall 2020) the concept of “fusions” as the very backbone of recent developments in the realm of digital and public humanities. Scholars are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the examination of particular case studies.
