D1.2 Report on the comparison between the 11th century vs present

Introduction

The objective of work package 1 “Narratives of the Self” is to study the way technological revolutions have informed the performance of selfhood (male and female), modes of engagement with society, and the political consequences of shifting boundaries between public and private spheres. In order to do so we track in the various sources (manuscripts, v/blogs, clips) the indications of new forms of selfhood. In this second deliverable the three ESR’s particularly focus on 1. the technological form of self-narratives of their specific studies as well as 2. the (new) forms of selfhood and self-narrative they have found, taking into account the possible intersectional identities such as gender.
