la tradizione classica nella memoria occidentale  

English version La Rivista di Engramma 26, july-august 2003


La Rivista di Engramma – Editorial Issue

Engramma
is a cultural research project on the subject of the classical tradition, based on Aby Warburg’s method.
The aim pursued by Engramma is to outline the unchanging cultural co-ordinates of western memory – myths, figures, words and symbols – in a wide ambit of study: from Renaissance to Antiquity and Contemporary.
La Rivista di Engramma, active from 2000 and now reaching its XXVI issue, monthly presents various surveys, with on-line essays and unpublished works.
The ‘alchemical marriage’ between words and images, suggested by Warburg’s method, finds in the information technology and in the hypertextual medium the most suitable form of expression.
Engramma uses internet not as a mere substitute for paper publishing, bur as a tool for research, as a touchstone for method and as a vehicle for its scholar achievements.
This editorial issue is intended to explain forms and contents of the surveys in the Rivista.
The articles presented here show the adequacy of contents to the expressive and functional requirements of internet, and the search for new graphic and logic forms of Engramma.
