Bridging the gap between digital humanities and natural language processing
Although Digital Humanities (DH) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) share common ground, the two academic communities around these disciplines rarely benefit from each other. This study aims to bridge the gap between the two fields of study, by attempting to establish whether off-the-shelf NLP tools are suitable for analysing DH-oriented textual corpora. Our case study focuses on The Digital Museum of the Romanian Novel (DMRN), a digital archi…
How about Lexically Measuring Eastern European Literary Gypsylorism? Dual Othering and Linguistic Stereotyping of Roma Female Characters in the Modern Romanian Novel
This paper builds on Ken Lee’s concept of “Gypsylorism”, as a form of Said’s classical “Orientalism”, and argues for a particular case of Eastern European Gypsylorism in modern Romanian literature. More specifically, the paper examines the linguistic stereotyping of Roma female characters in five Romanian novels published in the first half of the 20th century. The lexical measurement of this form of Gypsylorism uncovers the influence of the Weste…
Functional Interdiscursivity and Linguistic Conventions in Neuronovels
This study aims to challenge, both theoretically and practically, the concept of genre in translation studies. First, starting from the conceptual delimitation and theoretical boundaries between text type, genre and register, this article presents the characteristics of these concepts and their applicability in relation to the translation process. Secondly, by exploiting the functionality of interdiscursivity and hybridisation of genres, the pres…
Foreignness in the Nineteenth Century Romanian Novel (1845-1900)
This paper operates with the archive of digitized texts (about 150 novels published between 1845 and 1900) offered by the project ASTRA Data Mining: The Digital Museum of the 19th Century Romanian Novel. By identifying the occurrences for the term “străin” (“foreign/er”; “strange/r”) and its entire lexical family, the study intends to prove that there is a strong correlation between linguistic signs and literary concepts. More precisely, my surve…
Despre code-switching în literaturile scrise în limbi periferice. Multilingvism și strategii discursive în romanul românesc din secolul al XIX-lea
My study aims to address the phenomenon of literary multilingualism in the nineteenth-century Romanian novel. Based on Johan Heilbron’s approach on “translations as a cultural world-system” and his classification into hyper-central, central, semi-peripheral and peripheral languages, my analysis discusses the nineteenth-century Romanian language at an early stage of its consolidation and thus in self-colonial and anti-colonial relations to the “he…
Genurile romanului românesc (1933-1947). O analiză cantitativă
This article puts forward a quantitative account of the subgenres of the Romanian novel during the 1933-1947 period. It shows the massive domination of the social novel and the Bildungsroman and analyzes the dynamics of genre and popular literature – adventure novels, detective fiction, SF, etc. – within the first period of massive literary production in Romanian literature. The article is the result of the MDRR (Muzeul Digital al Romanului Român…
Educație și școală în romanul românesc (1845-1947)
The article sets out to establish the ways in which the Romanian novelistic production between 1845 and 1947 reflects the challenges and accomplishments of successive efforts at modernising the educational system. Therefore, the case-studies we discuss are focused on some of the major implications of Romanian education: the shifts in the literal spaces in which the educational process is being conducted, the access to books and the social prestig…
Poli de producție ai romanului românesc (1933-1947)
This article studies the production of the Romanian novel published between 1933 and 1947 by deploying instruments of quantitative analysis. More precisely, based on the corpus resulted from the project The Digital Museum of the Romanian Novel: 1933-1947 (more than 700 digitized novels), our analysis focuses on the canonical writers and their “rivals”, the authors and their novels bypassed by the literary canon, the geographical networks of produ…
Genurile romanului românesc (1901-1932). O analiză cantitativă
Combining the instruments of quantitative analysis with those of genre theory, the present article studies the ratio, characteristics, and tendencies underpinning the most important subgenres of the Romanian novel between 1901 and 1932. Among these subgenres, we lay special emphasis on those of popular fiction, on the social, historical, sentimental, psychological, and philosophical novel, as well as on the so-called “event novel”. The conclusion…
The Affective Geography of Paris in the 19th Century Romanian Novel
Based on “The Emotions of London”, a research project initiated at the Stanford Literary Lab, my article focuses on two relevant issues. First of all, I aim to demonstrate, as the “geography of emotions” experiment has already proved, that distant reading approaches and big data interpretation do not necessarily have to replace traditional methods of analysis. In other words, by using a corpus of 157 texts, I intend to outline the affective image…
Poli de producție ai romanului românesc (1901-1932)
The following study employs a quantitative analysis of the Romanian novelistic production from the period 1901-1932. By using the literary corpus developed by the research project ASTRA Data Mining. The Digital Museum of the Romanian Novel 1901-1932, implemented by ASTRA National Museum Complex, this paper focuses on the secondary canonical writers (with their “b-sides and rarities”), the novelists’ origins, the abundance and the geographical nod…
