The conference explores how computational literary studies can model plot in ways that are comparable across methods and informative for genre analysis. Bringing together work on large-scale genre dynamics, narrative movement, segmentation, networks, space, names, and emotions, the event examines how narrative structure can be operationalized as a shared analytical object. The goal is to develop more robust models that connect narratological theory with empirical, data-driven genre research.
