Cyt expertise:
I concentrate on the links between the field of cultural, intellectual and artistic production and the variations in publication media and formats emphasizing, in particular, network digital technologies and the archive theory. Within this scope, the work carried out by cultural professionals (writers, intellectuals, journalists, academics) in various media and formats is of particular interest, which leads to the theoretical and methodological in-depth study of the intersection between the inherited printed culture and the ever-growing digital culture. Moreover, in addressing the evolution of publication media and formats, I focus on the archive theory and practice as a fundamental element that, once restricted to the fields of memory, history and arts, nowadays transcends any manifestation of everyday life and, therefore, has a direct relationship with all spheres of culture and politics.
