Text Mining Gender Depictions in Epitaphs Verses from Northern Wei (386–539 C.E.) China 1University of Missouri, United States of America; 2Meijo University, Japan Using Transformer-based models, this study contributes to an inclusive approach to understanding history, examining how males and females were depicted differently in medieval Chinese epitaph verses and which classical texts these verses resemble. The findings highlight a discourse shaped by patriarchal privileges, echoing the assertion that "the subaltern cannot speak." Rewriting Tradition: Quantifying Change in Lady Gregory’s Irish Legends University College Cork, Ireland This paper uses computational methods to analyse how Lady Augusta Gregory's translations of traditional Irish legends reimagined the original works for the purposes of aligning them with cultural nationalism and the Irish Literary Revivalist perspectives. Tracing Antiquity: References to Greco-Roman Authors in Modern Academic Discourse 1Computational Humanities, Leipzig University, Germany; 2Ancient History, Leipzig University, Germany; 3Ancient History, KU Leuven, Belgium This paper examines references to Greco-Roman authors across disciplines in a corpus of 56,116 academic articles. Using digital methods, it identifies citation patterns, compares rankings with L’Année Philologique (bibliographic database of classical studies), and explores disciplinary differences. |
