Italian-German Historical Institute

Vision

ISIG conducts interdisciplinary and transnational research dedicated to the "mediatization and mediality of history between the modern and contemporary ages". Alongside this topic, the researchers at the Center develop projects in collaboration with other institutions and carry out individual research activities on political history, religious history, social history, cultural history, legal history, economic history. 

Mission

Alongside numerous research projects in collaboration with national and international scientific organizations, ISIG focuses on the study of mediatization and mediality of history, with an analytical study of the active role played by the media in influencing the course of events.

From this observation it can emerge how the media affect innovation processes and direct the perception of society on technological development.
