Soziale Netzwerke in der literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung: Neue Perspektive oder „alter Inhalt in neuer Form“? Mit einem Blick auf die webbasierte Germanistik in Italien

Abstract

: Although the use of social media among scholars is spreading, the humanities and, in particular, literary research are still relatively alien to the innovations that the network can bring to research and its communication. By observing Italian German Studies, this paper aims at taking stock of the media practices in use and the purposes for which they are most successful.
