Marcello Vitali-Rosati is Associate Professor in the Department of French
Literature at the University of Montréal and holds the Canada Research
Chair in Digital Textualities. He studied Philosophy and Literature and holds
a Ph.D. from the University of Pisa (Italy) and the University of Paris IV La
Sorbonne. Previous publications include several articles and four books: Riflessione e trascendenza: Itinerari a partire da Lévinas (ETS, 2003), Corps et
virtuel: Itinéraires à partir de Merleau-Ponty (Harmattan, 2009), S'orienter

numériques (Hermann, 2014). His research focus is on developping a philosophical reaction to digital technologies: the idea of digital identity; the concept
of 'author' in the web era; the forms of production, publication and
diffusion of online content; and the notion of 'editorialization'.
