Digital & Public History: Call for Papers: “Memoria e Ricerca”. Twentieth Anniversary

Massimo Baioni, Serge Noiret, Alexander Geppert, EUI, Spring 2004

In 2004 was organized in Sala Triaria, Villa Schifanoia at the EUI in Florence, a workshop coordinated by Peter Becker and Heinz-Gerhard Haupt to celebrate the first ten years anniversary (2003) of the Italian academic journal Memoria e Ricerca. A special issue of MR edited by Alexander C. T. Geppert and Massimo Baioni on “Esposizioni in Europa fra Otto e Novecento. Spazi, organizzazione, rappresentazioni” was presented and discussed during a half-day workshop.

Memoria e Ricerca published many EUI History researchers, fellows and professors contributions translated into Italian during these twenty years as you can see here. MR remains today a contemporary history journal that hosts essays and reflections from the EUI History Department members and Alumni, and allow EUI researchers to support the editorial board in translating from other European languages into Italian all the essays that we receive and are approved both by the editorial board and our blind external referees.

Memoria e Ricerca (Franco Angeli Editore, Milano) is a leading Italian contemporary history journal that always offered comparative European studies and which is ranked by the Italian academic authorities as a first class journal (area A) that follows all international criteria’s required by agencies like ISI in the USA and the ESF in Europe.

For the twentieth anniversary we have issued the following Call for Paper to collect essays connected to the area’s/themes developed by the journal during the last twenty years, included, the one that I personally tried to develop starting 1998, with the rubric “Spazi Online”: Digital History and a critical reflection about the presence of History in the web.

So I would like to encourage your participation to the Call and, when the special issue will be published at the end of 2013, to a public presentation and celebration that will be announced in due time.
