| Inhalt | Aims: With the rapid development of computers and of the internet, today’s researchers are faced with a great variety of new tools to add to their methods – or not. Some of these can greatly boost one’s productivity and creativity, some will allow new approaches unthinkable with traditional methods, yet an irrelevant, ill-chosen or ill-used digital tool can prove a waste of one’s time and resources. In this context, being able to make informed decisions is crucial to a useful recourse to digital humanities. We shall focus on the following topics: - simple digital tools to boost one’s research and/or present it; - more complex and powerful technologies, with and without programming; - how to chose appropriate tools for specific projects; - when, why and how to change your work methods; - how to get, use and show data; - how to blend digital tools into your own methods (or: the machine will only ever be as clever as the orders it receives) |
| Lernziele | Objectives: By the end of this workshop, participants will: - be able to make good use of some simple tools (n grams, word clouds) - be able to make a more advanced use of some common tools (Excel) - have a basic understanding of more complex programming techniques (TEI, SQL) - be familiar with the potential and limits of various digital tools - be able to make informed choices by assessing the usability and feasibility of a digital method |
| Bemerkungen | Anne-Sophie Bories obtained her PhD in French Literature from University Paris 3 – Sorbonne Nouvelle, for a thesis focussing on poetic forms through the use of a large purpose-built database. She is now working on a FNS-funded postdoctoral project involving the markup of a large set of digitized texts, to collect numerical data, draw statistical analyses and combine those with traditional reading methods to inform text interpretation. |
| Teilnahmebedingungen | Open to young researchers with some or no prior experience of digital humanities. The participants will need to bring: - their own laptop with appropriate software installed: Excel, Oxygen (freely available as a 30-day trial licence), MAMP (freely available); - any large amount of digitised texts (preferably materials they are keen to explore, as a mini-project will have to be completed using these) |
