Print Culture and Public Spheres in Central Europe 1500-1800 (PCPSce)
The COST Action CA23137 (2024–2028), Print Culture and Public Spheres in Central Europe 1500-1800 (PCPSce), investigates the interactions between the pre-modern media revolution through printing and the emergence of public spheres in Central Europe in early modern history. The Action aims to build a European and global network of stakeholders from education, research and cultural institutions with a special focus on Young Researchers and Innovators. It works towards an integrative methodology that brings together experts from different national and disciplinary backgrounds. The Action includes work on joint publications such as a compendium on the book history of Central Europe and the development of an annotated catalog of digital data and tools. The initiative aims to promote a new scholarly and public historical awareness of the diverse, non-national pasts of Central Europe.
The Action is directed by Action Chair Dr. Mona Garloff (Universität Innsbruck) and Vice-Chair Dr. Marion Romberg (Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn).
Funded by: COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).
