La storia come bene comune : le nuove frontiere della public history digitale

Abstract

The digital world is increasingly pervasive, both in historical research and in daily life. Consulting a Wikipedia entry, updating your Facebook profile, or accessing an archive on the internet are gesture that have become part of the routine of actions of every day life. They involve, however, a redefinition of our ways of getting information, selecting our memories and doing research. Establishing to what extent the historical narrative will come our changed by these actions is one of the challenges historians will have to face in the coming decades.
