Improving data on homelessness and health
Through increased collaboration at all levels and coordinated action, improved data to better support the health of people experiencing homelessness is an achievable goal
The Cambridge Companion to Literature in a Digital Age
Literature has experienced two great medium shifts, each with profound implications for its forms, genres, and cultures: that from orality to writing, and that from writing to printing. Today we are experiencing a third shift, from printed to digital forms. As with the previous shifts, this transformation is reconfiguring literature and literary culture. The Cambridge Companion to Literature in the Digital Age is organized around the question of …
Technology and Literature
Whereas previous books have explored how literature depicts or discusses scientific concepts, this book argues that literature is a technology. It shows how literature has been shaped by technological revolutions, and reveals the essential work that literature has done in helping to uncover the consequences of new technologies. Individual chapters focus on how specific literary technologies – the development of writing, the printing press, typewr…
Annotation Guidelines for Narrative Levels
These guidelines present a minimalist set of instructions for annotating narrative levels. They strive for clarity and brevity, with a focus on clear examples and helpful rules of thumb. They present a one-sentence definition of a narrative and introduce the “Let me tell you a story” rule of thumb for determining whether a narrative level boundary has been crossed. Only four attributes are introduced: narrative number, narrative level, narrator I…
Annotation Guideline No. 8
I first became aware of the SANTA project at the Digital Humanities conference in Montreal in the summer of 2017. I had just been assigned a 90-student secondyear undergraduate Digital Humanities undergraduate English Literature class, set to begin in January 2018, and I was looking for a group annotation project for my students. In previous iterations of the course, I had carried out several annotation projects focused on the narrative phenomeno…
The double bind of validation
The digital humanities (DH) is currently in the phase of the “hype cycle” known as the “trough of disillusionment.” Franco Moretti, perhaps the most prominent practitioner of the most prominent discipline of DH—“distant reading,” the computational analysis of large quantities of literary texts—recently expressed his exasperation with the state of DH, reflecting “our work could have been better” and asking why, “considering the amount of energy, t…
Modeling Modernist Dialogism
In Macroanalysis (2013), Matthew Jockers provocatively declares that large digitized collections of literary texts have rendered close reading “totally inappropriate as a method of studying literary history.” Hammond, Brooke and Hirst respond by demonstrating the productive interpretive interplay that results when close reading is placed in a “feedback loop” with the insights available at the scale of big data. Using cutting-edge techniques in co…
