Digital Humanities Reading Group: August
The Digital Humanities Reading Group is a light and easy way to get into regularly discussing peer-reviewed DHwork, no previous knowledge necessary. Everyone is welcome.
The group is across the Humanities faculty and is currently hosted at Engerom.
We discuss either a work-in-progress text by one of the participants, a guest presentation, or a published paper, as part of an informal and friendly meet-up.
This session, we will discuss Jänicke et al. 2015. "Close and Distant Reading in Digital Humanities: A Survey and Future Challenges." Eurographics Conference on Vizualization (EuroVis). Accessible via: On Close and Distant Reading in Digital Humanities: A Survey and Future Challenges. A State-of-the-Art (STAR) Report.
- 15 minutes - Discussion of the methodologies used in the paper – helping each other to understand anything that is unfamiliar, technical or otherwise
- 15 minutes - Discussion of the ‘why’ behind the paper – why do we think the journal chose to publish it?
- 15 minutes - Is there anything from the paper we could use for our own research? (roundtable)
