––––––––––
magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities is the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH). It is indexed in Scopus, undergoes double-blind peer review, and is published with a yearly volume (two issues) in open access by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari.
Counting renowned scholars among its advisory editors and authors, the journal covers the international debate and methodological discourse in the field of digital and public humanities as the basis for collaborative development of durable, reusable, and shared resources for research, learning, and public outreach. Over the years, the journal developed into an open platform for Digital and Public History, Art History, Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, Museum Studies, and Textual Scholarship, covering a wide range of topics – Western and Eastern Europe, Middle and Far East, and the Americas.
The Journal originated from a project of excellence funded by the Italian Ministry of Research and University (MIUR) based at the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. The name magazén refers to the historical definition of public houses in the Republic of Venice, which were thriving places of diverse human deeds, including information exchange, commercial bargains, and pawnshops.
Call for papers and edited issues | Volume 2025
magazén is accepting abstract proposals to its 2025 volume that highlight recent challenges as well as cutting edge experiences in the Digital and Public Humanities from local to international level. Scholars are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the examination of particular case studies from the heterogeneous domains of Digital and Public History, Art History, Archaeology, Cultural Heritage, Museum Studies, and Textual Scholarship. magazén draws particular attention to the public aspects of these interdisciplinary domains, hosting research projects that hold firm to the principle of audience involvement from their very inception, rather than having public interaction as a derivative result of scholarly work. Eventually, the abstract proposal should address the following questions: What kind of materials and research questions are concerned? What digital/public methods and tools are employed, and what is their added value in tackling humanistic research aims? If the prospective paper addresses a case study or a particular project, authors should please state whether it has been completed and already made available to the research community, or whether it is still a work in progress.
The Editorial Board is open to host single paper proposals from international scholars as well as to cover entire issues with guest editors.
Submissions | Abstracts and guidelines
For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please send the provisional title and a 250-500 word-long abstract together with a short biographical note and possibly also a provisional bibliography.
