معرفی
Christophe Schuwey is a Lecturer in digital humanities and book history at Université Bretagne Sud, affiliated with the Heritage and Creation in Text and Image research group (HCTI). His interdisciplinary work bridges traditional literary scholarship with digital methods, reflecting his dual background in French literature and computer science.
His research focuses on three interconnected areas: digital humanities (theory and practice, interfaces, digital publishing), the history of the book, publishing and the book market in the 17th century, and information, media and controls during the same period. Schuwey's scholarship demonstrates how early modern media practices anticipated contemporary digital culture, particularly in how information was curated, distributed, and consumed.
Schuwey's recent publications reveal a consistent focus on media history, particularly examining the Mercure galant, Molière, Donneau de Visé, and La Bruyère through both traditional literary analysis and digital humanities approaches. His work often explores how 17th century media practices relate to contemporary digital culture, with particular attention to information dissemination, marketing strategies, and media manipulation.
Currently directing the "Caranum" project (2024-2027) for the first digital edition of La Bruyère's Caractères, Schuwey is actively shaping how early modern texts are presented and studied in the digital age. His publications span books, peer-reviewed articles, digital projects, and multimedia content, demonstrating his commitment to diverse scholarly communication formats.
