About the Journal
Current Issue
Issue 41 of Progetto Grafico marks the beginning of a new editorial phase with new leadership, a renewed scientific committee, and an editorial board composed of many young researchers, moving toward an interdisciplinary and international scientific journal.
Following a "Call for Topic" addressed to members of the new scientific committee, the volume addresses the theme "Writings of Complexity: Rethinking the Codex Form," examining the radical transformation of writing systems and knowledge transmission in the digital age.
The selected contributions explore how digital technologies and information infrastructures have, in recent years, challenged the paradigm of linear alphabetic writing, historically dominant in the articulation of Western knowledge, opening spaces for hybrid, multimodal, and synsemic languages that coexist, layer, and generate new modes of knowledge organization. The central question concerns the abandonment of traditional writing linearity and the emergence of communicative codes that integrate text, image, sound, movement, and interaction in simultaneous expressive systems. The volume documents how this transition represents not merely a technological change, but an epistemological transformation that redefines the ways in which thought is structured, transmitted, and made accessible.
