Re-mediating the Early Book: Pasts and Futures

数字革命让我们看到了一个重要的历史事实，即书籍持久的文化和经济价值一直取决于它对不同媒体的适应性，今天从印刷书籍到电子书（再回来），过去从手稿到印刷书籍（反之亦然）。MSCA博士网络“重新调解早期书籍：过去和未来”侧重于15和16世纪图书生产商（抄写员，印刷商，企业家）谈判手稿和印刷书籍之间的动态关系并适应市场不断变化的挑战的方式;它表明了这些文化和经济谈判对现代世界的持续相关性。为此，它将当今重新调解早期书籍的组织-出版商，书商，博物馆，创意和遗产产业-的利益与学术奖学金的利益结合起来，有两个目的：（1）让新一代的中世纪主义者和早期现代主义者参与一个创新和合作的研究计划，该计划提出了有关该书历史和历史的基本和跨学科问题。书面文字及其在数字环境中的未来;以及（2）为博士网络招募的研究人员提供高水平的可转移技能和能力，这些技能和能力不仅可以在学术环境中获得和应用，还可以通过由九个欧洲非学术合作伙伴提供的借调和培训研讨会获得，这些合作伙伴对我们的研究议程有直接的兴趣和相关性。

The digital revolution is opening our eyes to the important historical truth that the enduring cultural and economic value of the book has always depended on its adaptability to different media, today from printed book to e-book (and back again), and in the past from manuscript book to printed book (and vice versa). The MSCA Doctoral Network "Re-Mediating the Early Book: Pasts and Futures" focuses on the ways in which 15th- and 16th-century book producers (scribes, printers, entrepreneurs) negotiated the dynamic relations between the manuscript book and the printed book and adapted to the evolving challenges of the market; and it demonstrates the continuing relevance of these cultural and economic negotiations to the modern world. To this end, it unites the interests of present-day organisations that re-mediate the early book - publishers, bookdealers, museums, creative and heritage industries - with those of academic scholarship, with the double aim of (1) engaging a new generation of medievalists and early modernists in an innovative and collaborative research programme that asks fundamental and interdisciplinary questions about the history of the book and the written word and its future in a digital environment; and (2) equipping the researchers recruited to this Doctoral Network with high-level transferable skills and competences to be acquired and applied not just in academic settings but also through secondments and training workshops provided by a suite of nine European non-academic partners that have a direct interest in, and relevance to, our research agenda.
