#tb to last week's #DraCorSummit — grateful to all presenters, attendees, and organisers for a week full of inspiring exchanges on computational drama analysis ✨ @dracor.org @dhpotsdam.bsky.social @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social

Shakespeare is beaten by a student assistant! 😲 The 3rd World Championship in #battleoftheplays (formerly #dramenquartett) took place at the #DraCorSummit. 20 participants competed in intense matches – after a thrilling finale, Tabeer Khilji of @unipotsdam.bsky.social took the cup home! 🏆 🎉 #dracor

Luca @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presenting the English Drama Corpus within #DraCor — and showing what can be built on top of it with the DraCor API: in this case, a map of all locations mentioned in 435 English plays (1550s–1700s) #DraCorSummit dracor.org/eng

Wonderful keynote by Clarisse Bardiot (@univrennes2.bsky.social) at #DraCorSummit on turning theatre programmes into structured data with ontologies + LLMs opening new horizons for Performing Arts Analytics, from micro to macro history. #DraCor @juliajbeine.bsky.social

✨ We're kicking off the #DraCorSummit 2025 in Berlin today! 5 days of digital drama analysis, enhancing #DraCor, and celebrating #OpenScience with participants from around the world at @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social. Programme: summit.dracor.org @temporal-communities.de @unipotsdam.bsky.social

What are the key components of a #play? 🎭 #DH2025: @lucagiovannini.bsky.social takes us on a tour through centuries of thinking from #Aristotle’s #Poetics, through Russian formalism, to modern literary theory and unpacks the question offering a fresh perspective. #drama #operationalization #CLS

@lucagiovannini.bsky.social and I are ready for day 2 at #DH2025! ☀️ So good to see colleagues from all around the world 🗺️ Who else is at the mini conference “The Times they are a-changing”?

I'll be reporting from Potsdam this week where the Spring School "Text As Data" is about to start! #TextAsDataSchool We've put together a lovely program for our participants: www.uni-potsdam.de/de/digital-h... The Spring school is organized by @dhpotsdam.bsky.social & @dhssfau.bsky.social

👀 Sneak peek alert! Our „Text as Data“ #DHSpringSchool merch just landed in Potsdam – fresh stickers & mugs ready to go! ☕✨ Only a few more days until we kick off on Monday – we can't wait to welcome all the participants and teachers💙 #DigitalHumanities #DH2025 www.uni-potsdam.de/de/digital-h... 📦👇

Delighted to be able to present at @cesrtours.bsky.social tomorrow! #cls #drama

Computational modelling of literary characters (with some pre-digital formalist & structuralist motivations) — slides for our talk at @dhssfau.bsky.social in Erlangen: slides.com/danilsko/cha... by @lucagiovannini.bsky.social & @danja.bsky.social #DigitalHumanities #CLS #DraCor #Computerphilologie

Exciting January ahead! Very happy to have Daniil Skorinkin and Luca Giovannini on January 27th in our DHSS Colloquium to talk about literary characters and all things network analysis 🤩 @danja.bsky.social @lucagiovannini.bsky.social www.dhss.phil.fau.de/events/danii...

136 applications from 4 continents were sent to us for our DH Spring school 🤯 Already now it is clear that sorting & rejecting participants will break our hearts 💔 It is also clear that the demand for a DH 'summer school' format is huge...

New data paper out in #JOHD: "Allacci Digitale: An Historical Dataset for Early Modern Italian Drama" (doi.org/10.5334/johd...) Browse through bibliographic information for +6000 early modern Italian plays here: allacci-digitale.github.io/index-en.html

The servers of the University of Potsdam are down, which means #DraCor is also down. A workaround would be to run #DraCor services locally with #Docker. If you need support, please send DM to get in touch

DH SCHOOL APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENSION The outage of the University of Potsdam web infrastructure also means that the application form for our spring DH school is not available. We are extending the application deadline to December 7.

Deadline for submission for the "Text as Data" Spring School is extended until December 7th! 🎁

This Thursday (28/11, 2pm CET), on-site at the University of #Potsdam and online: @miguelev.bsky.social presenting his book "Theatre as Data: Computational Journeys into Theatre Research". Register here to get the Zoom link: www.uni-potsdam.de/de/digital-h...

On 28 November, I will show how to create a data profile of scheming slaves and servants in ancient and early modern comedies using network analysis and the #DraCor infrastructure. The talk is part of a workshop on #DH and #Classics. Feel free to join the event online.(1/2) https://shorturl.at/oaMNf
