However, it is only in the context of the current radical media change known as the "digital turn" that the material and technological foundations of philology become fully apparent. This volume presents seventeen studies by scholars from the universities of Budapest and Cologne, which critically examine the core approaches to the history and epistemology of the humanities. Through a comprehensive praxeological overview of basic cultural techniques of collective memory, these studies shed light on the transformations of our techniques of writing and reading.
