Ottoi Meeting
The meeting focused on the research project 'From the Text to the Web: Verist Literature in the Digital Age,' which integrates two research groups, Coverless and Digital Verism, from the University of Catania and CR. The presentation covered the theoretical and methodological framework, the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) funding through Spoke 3, and the objective of creating an online philology platform for Verismo literature. The speakers discussed the development of an integrated, open-access web environment, the use of text encoding standards, the creation of a thematic dictionary ('verbum') for literary vocabulary, and the digitization and analysis of manuscript archives from Sicilian authors such as Verga, Capuana, and De Roberto.
