Engramma Open Access. Aperta origine

The article, wtitten by the editorial board, traces the history of Engramma, a seminar/laboratory devoted to the study of classical tradition, that chose in 2000 to publish the research results online, gradually refining its editorial form (from a curated blog to a scholarly journal), its technical structure (from HTML to eOS), its commitment to the sharing of content in the spirit of a peculiar Open Access. Since 2002, in order to create a network among scholars, researchers, students, the series of conferences Luminar – Internet and Humanities begins, and in 2010, the ninth edition of this conference confronts issues of flagrant relevance, the cyber piracy and the concept of Copyleft “in the ager of .torrent”. After 15 years, these topics emerge again, asking for critical analysis of accessibility, legal and political aspects, as far as “unrestricted dissemination of knowledge” is concerned.
