José Pedro Sousa
Centre for Theatre Studies, School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, United Kingdom
The PREC.PT project examines the role of Theatre and Performance in democracy building during Portugal's ongoing Revolutionary Process (1974–75) through archival research and oral history. Leveraging multimodal digital oral history, the project's archive aims to integrate paralinguistic and text-based annotation and indexing to improve data analysis, access and user experience.
Revisiting Network Analysis in Drama: Operational Challenges and Methodological Insights
Jan Niklas Jokisch1, Antonio Rojas Castro2
1Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Germany; 2Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, Germany
The paper is methodological reflection on co-occurrence networks in drama research. Comparing a manually encoded gold-standard corpus with more operationalized approaches, we highlights critical trade-offs between convenience and rigor. Ultimately, we aim to offer insights into improving network analysis for drama research and refining the balance between scalability and accuracy.
