Atlante Calvino
Université de Genève
A web platform that combines literary criticism and information design to interpret and visualize the works of Italo Calvino. Through interactive graphic representations, it offers new perspectives on the author’s narrative universe.
“Atlante Calvino: Literature and Visualization” is a web platform developed with the aim of addressing critical issues related to the extensive narrative work of Italo Calvino, one of the most significant authors in twentieth-century Italian literature, through the lens of data visualization techniques.
Through a series of interactive visualizations, the platform allows users to explore Calvino’s corpus from an entirely new perspective, translating critical inquiries and literary analyses, traditionally approached through text, into visual form. These graphic elaborations are not mere illustrations of data; they function as true analytical tools capable of inspiring fresh insights into the themes, characters, settings, and narrative structures present in Calvino’s works.
Atlante Calvino thus stands as a concrete and innovative example in the field of Digital Humanities. The convergence of a key twentieth-century author and a contemporary visual language offers a unique opportunity to rethink how literature is studied and communicated, opening up new research possibilities and making literary content more accessible to a broader audience.
