Abstract
The summer school offers an application of digital humanities to the study of poetry through practical learning of the latest technologies in this field.
Announcement
Spanish research center LiNDH is organising the summer school “Digital technologies applied to the study of poetry” with the involvement of DARIAH-EU.
LINDH is a research center on Digital Humanities at UNED that works as a hub for innovation, consultancy and training intended for researchers and projects in Spanish.
Presentation
The summer school offers an application of digital humanities to the study of poetry through practical learning of the latest technologies in this field. It adopts an approach to the study of poetry based on the framework of Digital Humanities, and proposes a practical analysis of the digital technologies which are currently applied for different types of poetic analysis: text marking and digital academic editing in XML-TEI, semantic web and linked data for conceptual and ontological modelling, natural language processing for metric and phonological analysis, and application of data mining technology and stylometry with R. All of this information will be accompanied by presentations from international specialists on their findings and learning experience from using such tools and technologies.
Objectives
- Provide researchers with knowledge and understanding of the different digital humanities technologies and their application, specifically for textual analysis: TEI-XML, LOD, PLN, R.
- Reveal to participants the different technological and theoretical perspectives to address a single subject or philological concept as poetry, and provide them with simple tools they can use without extensive programming.
- Generate materials and tools which can be applied to the analysis of poetry and that researchers can reuse by themselves for their projects.
Course dates
Madrid, 27th of June – 1st of July 2016
Location
Sáenz Torrecilla Conference Room, School of Economic Sciences, UNED
