vDHd2021 - Focus on Experimentation and Innovation

TCDH Projects are Presented

10.03.2021 | General, Project News

This year, the DHd will not take place in presence as usual. Instead, an alternative, purely digital and community-based format called vDHd21 will be realized due to the pandemic. The focus will be on experimentation and the innovation potential of the Digital Humanities. The vDHd2021 events are divided into two conference phases, March 23–26, 2021 and September 13–17, 2021, which will be linked by additional events.

The TCDH also Participates with Two Projects

The team around Christof Schöch and Maria Hinzmann will give insight into the project “Mining and Modeling Text (MiMoText)” and its sub-areas in six stations on March 24, 2021 10am–12pm. With a mixture of short impulse presentations and a dialog room, they will illustrate how the various sources of information in “MiMoText” intertwine with the goal of breaking new ground for the analysis and modeling of literary history.

"Zeta and Company“ offers – presented by a team around Christof Schöch and Keli Du – a workshop in which the functioning of a distinctiveness or “keyness” measure will be demonstrated, and its usefulness for contrastive text analysis will be presented. This workshop will be divided into spring and fall offerings. On March 24, 2021, 1–3pm, basic concepts and tools will be developed together. On September 15, 2021, 1–2pm, annotation results will be presented by participants.

In preparation for vDHd21, there will also be a special season of “Radihum”: the podcast offering for the Digital Humanities launched in summer 2020. Every month, an interview episode with interesting representatives of the Digital Humanities will be brought to your ears. Here, colleagues talk to colleagues from the Digital Humanities about developments, innovations, and events. RaDiHum20 is always presented on the 20th of each month. In the special vDHd21 series, researchers from the two TCDH projects report on their research work to a broad public in this contemporary format.
