Abstract
After millions of years of contemplation, a computer might make sense of this title.
Meanwhile, although maybe not for quite as long, I will talk about network science and some of its applications in literary corpus analysis.
The focus is on fundamental questions related to oppositions such as works of art vs. network data, close vs. distant reading, and qualitative vs. quantitative approaches, but they will be exemplified with questions from a study of Deutscher Novellenschatz (1871-1876).
This collection of German-language novellas, edited by Paul Heyse and Hermann Kurz, is the main subject of an ongoing collaboration with Thomas Weitin (TU Darmstadt).
DH Research Seminar
The DH Research Seminar is a series of talks organised by the Digital Humanities Institute given by researchers from a wide range of backgrounds and aiming at presenting the vast array of subjects covered by Digital Humanities.
Be sure to come. Listen to the talk and participate if you wish in the Q&A session, and continue to discuss the subject with the speaker and the other participants in a relaxed athmosphere during the apero that will follow the talk.
