Forschungsschwerpunkte
My interests are centered on the materiality, sociality and spatiality of communication flows, and this focus is reflected through my work touching and intersecting book history, media history, paper history, digital history, environmental history and some more. Have a look into my?recent edited volumes around the topic:?
? "The Intermediality of Early Modern Communication"?(Milano: Franco Angeli 2022, eds. with Massimo Rospocher),
?? "The Paper Trade in Early Modern Europe. Practices, Materials, Networks" (Leiden/Boston: Brill 2021, eds. with Anna Reynolds),
?? "Books in Motion in Early Modern Europe. Beyond Production, Circulation and Consumption"?(Cham: Routledge 2017, eds. with Jeroen Salman and Paul Nelles), and?
?? "A History of Early Modern Communication.?German and Italian Historiographical Perspectives" (ed. together with Massimo Rospocher, 2019).

From 2019 to 2022, I was part of the European project "PUblic REnaissance: Urban Cultures of Public Space between Early Modern Europe and the Present" (PURE), a collaborative project funded from HERA with about 1 million Euro. The German part of the project is funded by the BMBF and includes an app-trail city tour through 1686 Hamburg ("Hidden Hamburg"), an open access book, and a graphic novel titled "Hamburg 1686". You may want to check this presentation of the project on the? BMBF?website.?The entire project won the "Digital Humanities Award 2022" in the category "Best Use of DH for Fun", and experiments with locative media approaches to early modern urban history, and several app trails through European cities have been and will be published. Do check the project's first edited volume (" Hidden Cities: Urban Space, Geolocated Apps and Public History in Early Modern Europe"), and our?website: http://www.hiddencities.eu.

My other recent projects?include leading a?project funded by the German Research Association (DFG) that builds?until 2024 an online database for the German writing calendar - the "Schreibkalender". Have a look here:? https://schreibkalender.wisski.data.fau.de

Recently,?I have?started?writing a book on early modern news and communication, and I am?preparing my?thoughts together with Agnes Gehbald on what a global book history?through the lens of paper usages might look like. Also, I am planing to connect environmental history with paper history in the near future: the textile economies of early modern Europe will be the topic of an upcoming international conference to be announced soon.
