The third event in the conference series "Science Wednesday with Mădălin Bunoiu" will discuss the topic of "Archaeology in the digital era" and will have as guests Dr. Alexandru Hegyi (UVT) and Dr. Laurentiu Angheluță (INOE ).
The volumes that will form the basis of the dialogue are "Din vremea lui Tudor by Radu Oltean" (Editura Humanitas, 2024) and "The Game. The Game of Digital Civilization" by Alessandro Baricco (Editura Humanitas, 2023).
"Thanks to Radu Oltean's highly historically accurate plastic reconstructions, the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812 and the Romanian and Greek revolutions of 1821 seem to be unfolding again right before our eyes." — TUDOR DINU
"In his essay, Alessandro Baricco tries to understand the profound digital transformation we are going through today, pointing out that it is not only the consequence of a technological revolution and the use of new tools, but also the result of a "mental insurrection". In an attempt to understand this profound mutation, he identifies the founding events that have shaped contemporary attitudes and lifestyles specific to the digital system. With his unmistakable style, combining philosophical insight and humor, he explores the history of the new civilization entitled THE GAME, which started from video games". — From the motivation of the jury of the Prix Européen de l'Essai, 2020
"Science Wednesday with Mădălin Bunoiu and his guests" is an event organized by Publishing House Humanitas in partnership with the West University of Timișoara and the independent bookstore La Două Bufnițe.
