Del trazo caligráfico al método paleográfico: experimentando la materialidad de los manuscritos históricos (edX)

Práctica paleográfica y caligráfica en ciclos de escritura histórica y procesos materiales de creación del manuscrito, conservación e interpretación. El tiempo y el espacio son elementos vertebradores de toda la propuesta de contenidos en torno al mundo del manuscrito histórico. En esta ocasión, la identificación de procesos, la materialidad de los testimonios y los modos de hacer (escritura caligráfica, lectura paleográfica) se suman a la familiaridad con lugares de escritura en momentos concretos del pasado.

Las 6 unidades combinarán el trazado de letras históricas unido al conocimiento de la historia de la cultura escrita con especial atención a las cuestiones prácticas de producción, conservación e interpretación.

Se reserva un apartado para subrayar la importancia de las aplicaciones tecnológicas a la lectura, transcripción, interpretación e interacción con el manuscrito. A tenor de los buenos resultados y comentarios dejados en los foros de otros cursos de paleografía y caligrafía realizados por este equipo docente, se contempla una mayor carga de conversatorios y clases demostrativas en centros especializados y con expertos renombrados que aportarán su bagaje tanto intelectual como profesional en ejercicio desde bibliotecas y archivos con colecciones manuscritas históricas. A la vez, constituye una contribución determinante a las humanidades digitales en general con importantes reflexiones en torno a la paleografía digital.

What you'll learn

  • Descubrir la materialidad que define la escritura y su dimensión manufactual.
  • Resolución de casos de transcripción con especial dificultad.
  • Identificación de nuevos retos profesionales en conservación, interpretación y análisis de manuscritos y en Humanidades digitales.
