Digital Map of Iberian Literary Relations (1870-1930)
Description
By showcasting divers materials referring to Iberian literary relations (images, texts, secondary bibliography), this project aims at contributing both to the field of Iberian Studies, and to Digital Humanities in Portugal. This project, then, derives from two complementary lines of research: on the one hand, it is the result of the study of Iberian literatures as a complex cultural polysystem, with close interrelations that trascend and cross over national boundaries; on the other hand, it responds to recent advances in the field of literary chartography, particularly favored by the evolution of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
The Digital Map project also contributes to the development of IStReS (Iberian Studies Reference Site: http://istres.letras.ulisboa.pt), a database and website devoted to bibliographic references published in the 21st century in the field of Iberian Studies.
Objectives
- To create a corpus of authors, texts, events and institutions relevant for the comprehension of the Iberian geocultural space at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
- To develop specific conceptual and methodological tools for the analysis of the literary and cultural reality of the Iberian Peninsula on the turn of the 19th to 20th century
- To investigate the possibilities of visualization of literary and cultural phenomena through cartography, as a non-narrative and non-lineal way of historical fact presentation
- To create website that serves as a starting point for future projects and subprojects that combine digital cartography and the Iberian geocultural space
