Questioning the text in the era of “mechanical intelligence”

Interroger le texte à l’ère de l’« intelligence mécanique »

Digital stylistics between disciplinary and interdisciplinary studies

La stylistique outillée, au carrefour du disciplinaire et de l’interdisciplinaire

*  *  *

Published on Friday, February 22, 2019

Abstract

Nous proposons d’interroger l’aspect outillé de cette discipline et appelons à présenter des retours d’expériences sur la question et souhaiterions questionner les apports de la stylistique outillée dans le cadre d’analyses contrastives.

Announcement

11th and 12th of June 2019, Montpellier (France)

Argument

Following other international conferences that called for communication on advances in digital stylistics, this conference will focus on two more precise research questions:

The first one will question the digital and computational tools used by it and calls for methodological feedback and epistemological reflections:

Does digital stylistics only propose a method to analyze texts or is it likely to acquire more conceptual and epistemological legitimacy? In this case, how can these two dimensions be linked together? What are the consequences for interdisciplinary projects (linguistic, stylistic, literary, sociological, anthropological...)? Which place can digital stylistics occupy in those projects?

The second type of questions will focus on give a critical feedback on contributions of digital stylistics for contrasting analyses:

What can we try to compare in this case? To what extent do contrastive studies contribute to define this discipline (Underwood, 2014)?

 What are the data extraction and visualization techniques used in digital stylistics? How do they use the existing tools (key-words, clustering, AFC)? What are the specific problems posed by the contrasting dimension of stylistic analysis?

The questions proposed here are obviously not exhaustive. Papers may focus on corpora in French or on contrasting corpora. This conference invites researchers participating in projects integrating digital stylistics or working to build their own tools to present their experience.
