Giorgio Politi serves as Senior Researcher in Modern History (M-STO/02) at Ca' Foscari University of Venice's Department of Humanities, where he has been a core member since the department's inception. He previously taught at Milan's Academy of Fine Arts and University of Milan from 1975-1980 while pioneering academic IT infrastructure as departmental webmaster, IT manager, and faculty IT committee coordinator. Politi earned his Philosophy degree from the University of Milan in 1971. His scholarly trajectory bridges traditional historiography with digital innovation, reflecting early adoption of microcomputers for historical text processing and desktop publishing in the 1980s-90s. His research centers on Early Modern European social dynamics, particularly peasant revolts like the 1525 Tyrolean uprising led by Michael Gaismair and urban history of Spanish-era Cremona. Later work explores historical epistemology, cultural memory, and digital humanities methodologies, evidenced by his co-founded academic series em-studi di storia europea protomoderna with Reinhold C. Mueller. Analysis of his 66+ publications (1976-2016) reveals three thematic clusters: foundational studies on Gaismair and Tyrolean revolts (1980s-90s), methodological critiques of historical practice ( History as a Dead Language , 2009), and interdisciplinary explorations of cultural memory ( The Chosen People , 2015). His 2009 thesis-writing manual remains widely used in Italian academia. Though no formal awards are documented, Politi's institutional impact is evident through his leadership in academic technology and the influential publication series he co-directs. His advisory roles are reflected in collaborative editorial projects rather than formal student supervision. Politi co-founded and directs the em-studi di storia europea protomoderna series, creating a dedicated platform for early modern European historical research that bridges Italian and international scholarship through digital publishing frameworks he developed.

Her work bridges literary scholarship with contemporary media analysis, particularly focusing on vulnerability as a productive resource in cultural expression. Her research primarily centers on vulnerability in Scandinavian art and culture, with particular attention to how audiences interact with literary and media works. She has conducted extensive studies on Selma Lagerlöf's reception, analyzing over 40,000 letters sent to the author between 1891-1940. Her work explores how 'ordinary' people, particularly from working-class backgrounds, used vulnerability as a rhetorical strategy when corresponding with the famous writer. She also investigates true crime media, art scandals, and the intersection of affect theory with cultural production. Karlsson's recent publications reveal a consistent focus on vulnerability as a framework for understanding cultural production and reception. Her work spans historical literary analysis (particularly on Selma Lagerlöf), contemporary media studies (especially true crime radio documentaries), and interdisciplinary cultural theory. She frequently examines how vulnerability functions both as a rhetorical strategy employed by audiences and as a productive element in artistic creation, particularly within the context of Scandinavian welfare states. Karlsson currently leads two major research projects funded by The Swedish Research Council: 'True crime on the air' (2021-2023), examining crime representation in Swedish radio documentaries, and 'The scandal syndrome' (2023-2025), analyzing the aesthetics and politics of art scandals. Previously, she worked as a researcher at The Centre for Gender Studies at Uppsala University and co-edited the significant volume 'Vulnerability in Scandinavian Art and Culture' (2020). Her teaching focuses on graduate-level courses where theories of vulnerability play a central role, including ecocriticism, narratives from precarious suburbs, gender/queer theory, and autofiction.
