Exploring Pan-ecologicalness: A Distant Reading of Ecological Discourse in 20th Century US Novel 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 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 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 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. Rethinking the Publishing System: A Proposal for the Evaluation and Editing of Digital Academic Objects Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México This proposal discusses the evaluation and editing of digital academic objects in digital humanities, emphasizing their epistemological value. It proposes a model based on Bhaskar’s publishing theory, focusing on academic rigor and technical precision. The goal is to enhance DH’s recognition and create a more accessible academic publications. |
