Exploring Pan-ecologicalness: A Distant Reading of Ecological Discourse in 20th Century US Novel
Jiying Kang2, Wei Zhao1, Yufeng Han2
1Institute of Literature, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, China; 2Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Tsinghua University, China
This study analyzed reception of ecological discourse in 20th century US novel through computational criticism. We discovered a lexical family resemblance defined as “Pan-ecologicalness”, and implemented ecological discourse as a held-out example of genre changes throughout 20th century.
Ecological Codes: Constructing Nature in Literature
Mareike Katharina Schumacher1, Marie Flüh2, Felix Lempp3
1University of Regensburg, Germany; 2University of Hamburg, Germany; 3Universität Bern, Switzerland
This study presents an approach focused on natural habitats, plants and animals in German-language literature. To find out more about the aesthetic design, representation and distribution of ‘ecological codes’ we develop a classifier for animals, plants, and habitats in literary texts and apply it to 682 texts.
Greening your database of literary works: How to avoid reinventing vocabularies, in favor of sustainable, reusable models
Kelly Christensen, Jean-Baptiste Camps
École nationale des chartes | Université PSL, France
In a multilingual database of literary works, users will want to find a story's various versions. Therefore, we must conceptualize the threshold between narrative content (story) and its expression in language. While specially designed for evolving narrative traditions, our solution is grounded in the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records model.
A Version Assist for Digital Scholarly Editions
Martina Bürgermeister
Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Austria
To facilitate the description of versions and the creation of a version history, this contribution proposes a version assist system for digital editions. This system returns automatically generated change descriptions of changed resources that are comprehensible because each change is described as a purposeful, rule-based and contextualised action.
