Learning outcomes

This course aims to provide a rationale and technical skills in various fields of digital textuality. It presents theoretical framework and methods of Digital humanities with an international perspective. This course is divided into two main parts. The first is dedicated to the creation of a digital scholarly edition and its different phases. The second is focused on methodologies and tools for the computational analysis of literary texts.

Program

This course will deal with the following topics:

- An introduction to Digital Humanities and a short history of web evolution and digital textualities. The main projects of the digital scholarly editions will be shown and commented upon.

- Standards and encodings, multimediality and information architecture

- Mark-up languages: XML, HTML5, CSS, focussing in particular on TEI mark-up language (Text Encoding Initiative), on its important role within the Digital Humanities and its tools.

- Digital scholarly editions: it presents different methods involved in the creation of a digital resource, focusing on the modeling of textual structures, transcriptions and critical apparatus.

- Text analysis tools and applications. An overview of some important NLP methodologies: Stylometry, Topic Modeling, and Sentiment Analysis

The second part of the course will be conducted together with Dr. Simone Rebora.
