This experimental website, inspired by students of Arielle Saiber’sDante’s Divine Comedy” course, has been built to archive occurrences of Dante and his works in popular and contemporary culture of the twentieth century and beyond. The site catalogs a wide range of Dante "sightings": from the cursory to the extensive, and from a place of superficial knowledge of Dante and his works to deep familiarity with them. We leave the readers the opportunity to judge the nature of each citing, and note the frequency of certain themes over others. The goals are twofold: 1) to provide a central access point for said references; and 2) to offer data that students and scholars of Dante can use to think about the Nachleben (“afterlife”) of Dante’s works in relation of reception theory, resonance, and cultural studies.
