  • Contrasting public, market-driven and populist news videos on Covid-19

    Open AccessChiao-I Tseng, John A Bateman et al.ARTICLEMultimodality & Society2026

    This paper introduces a novel method for investigating how public service, market-driven, and populist news outlets differ in their construction of ideological positions in audiovisual reporting. A semi-automatic framework of multimodal semiotic content analysis is presented that combines computational audiovisual feature detection with theory-driven manual annotation of discourse and narrative elements and shows early results concerning the cons…

  • Digital bioethics

    Open AccessGeorg Starke, Wolf‐Tilo Balke et al.ARTICLEMedicine Health Care and Philosophy2026

    The uptake of social science methods by bioethics significantly expanded its methodological spectrum, raising new theoretical, methodological, and practical questions. Recently, we are witnessing another trend, adding advanced data science methods to bioethics' toolkit to aid, for example, in online data analysis, support scholarly writing, and inform clinical ethics. This article explores the emerging field of Digital Bioethics across its dimens…

  • The relation between biodiversity in literature and social and spatial situation of authors

    Open AccessLars Langer, Manuel Burghardt et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    Understanding the nature–culture entanglement by combining the methods of natural sciences and humanities is little approached in neither of the fields. With a specific combination of methods from both digital humanities and ecology, we aimed at identifying several of people's life circumstances that relate to their individual sensitivity towards biodiversity. The circumstances with a strong correlation could be considered and targeted by decisio…

  • Conceptual Forays

    Open AccessRabea Kleymann, Andreas Niekler et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2022

    The status of theory in the Digital Humanities (DH) has been the subject of much debate. As a result, we find different theory narratives competing and entangled with each other. If at all, these narratives can only be grasped and examined from a somewhat detached perspective. Here, we attempt to investigate these elusive narratives by means of a conceptual history approach. In doing so, we define different theory dimensions, ranging from specifi…

  • Foreword to the Special Issue “Theorytellings

    Open AccessRabea Kleymann, Manuel Burghardt et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Analytics2022

    This special issue deals with existing theory narratives and conceptions in DH scholarship. Introducing the neologism “theorytellings”, this special issue invites DH scholars to narrate and discuss their own theoretical contributions to the field

  • Topological properties of music collaboration networks

    Open AccessLukas Gienapp, Clara Kruckenberg et al.ARTICLEDigital humanities quarterly2021

    Studying collaboration in music is a prominent area of research in fields such as cultural studies, history, and musicology. For scholars interested in studying collaboration, network analysis has proven to be a viable methodological approach. Yet, a challenge is that heterogeneous data makes it difficult to study collaboration networks across music genres, which means that there are almost only studies on individual genres. To solve this problem…

  • The rise and fall of biodiversity in literature

    Open AccessLars Langer, Manuel Burghardt et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    Nature's non‐material contributions to people are difficult to quantify and one aspect in particular, nature's contributions to communication (NCC), has so far been neglected. Recent advances in automated language processing tools enable us to quantify diversity patterns underlying the distribution of plant and animal taxon labels in creative literature, which we term BiL (biodiversity in literature). We assume BiL to provide a proxy for people's…

  • Film and Video Analysis in the Digital Humanities – An Interdisciplinary Dialog

    Open AccessManuel Burghardt, Adelheid Heftberger et al.ARTICLEDigital humanities quarterly2020

    This editorial introduces the special issue on Digital Humanities & Film Studies: Analyzing the Modalities of Moving Images, which contains a total of eight exciting contributions. Moreover, this editorial aims to highlight the complementary disciplinary perspectives on the computer-aided analysis of moving images, which are important prerequisites to better understand and situate a common DH perspective
