This paper aims to describe the methodology, the process of creation and the structure of a digital interactive platform through which a team of literature scholars, poets, web graphics and developers is trying to renew the old educational instrument called ‘anthology’. After a reflection about the history, the inherent methodological problems and the question of traditional anthologies usefulness in the new pedagogy, the paper will focus on the starting point of the project, the anthology Those who from afar look like flies. An Anthology of Italian Poetry from Pasolini to the Present, edited by Luigi Ballerini. From the original idea of a digital Palace of Memory, the project has evolved until the idea of an immersive, ironical and postmodernist Wunderkammer. All the textual contents of the original anthology were transferred in the digital container (and also a significant part of the critical material), but the team has created also a level (called ‘Discover’) in which the poets, the movements and the debates of contemporary Italian poetry are enacted in a catchy and funny way. |
