New paper out! Our Hebrew Novel Project started as a citizen science effort to collect data on thousands of novels. We quickly realized - surprise, surprise : ) - that reading is complex.

Instead of trying to normalize this complexity, we embrace it! Our paper offers a statistical-phenomenological look at the complexity of the reading act. Huge thanks to the amazing JCLS editors and reviewers! @jcls-io.bsky.social

This week, we announce another article from #JCLS 4 (1): Gilad Aviel Jacobson, @itaymm.bsky.social, and Yael Dekel. “From Readers to Data: #Uncertainty in Computational Literary Citizen Science” (10.48694/jcls.4169). Check it out at: jcls.io/issue/118/in... #CLS #CCLS25 #CitizenScience

My paper "A Powerful Hades Is an Unpopular Dude. Dynamics of Power and Agency in Hades/Persephone Fanfiction" jcls.io/article/id/4... is now published with @jcls-io.bsky.social. Thanks so much to the editors and peer reviewers who made this possible. I am proud as a peacock! 🦚

We're thrilled to announce the 3rd article from JCLS 4 (1): @julianeugarten.bsky.social “A Powerful Hades Is an Unpopular Dude. Dynamics of Power and Agency in Hades/Persephone Fanfiction” (10.48694/jcls.4208). #ComputationalLiteraryStudies #CLS #JCLS #DigitalHumanities #CCLS25

The very first #DraCorSummit kicked off today 🎭 a full week dedicated to computational drama analysis! We’re excited to be a partner of this event. Selected papers will appear in a special issue on computational drama analysis in #JCLS (2026). Stay tuned! #CLS #DramaAnalysis #DraCor @dracor.org

✨ 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

The registration for the #DraCor Summit in Berlin is open until 20 August. Register soon! (You may also participate in some parts of the programme online.) #DH #CLS #ClassicsBluesky #LitWiss @temporal-communities.de @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social @unipotsdam.bsky.social @dhpotsdam.bsky.social

#DH2025: Last session before the keynote, @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presents his approach to operationalizing dramatic texts. Tracing key components of plays from #Aristotle to Russian #Formalism to modern literary theory, he investigates how to #operationalize plays using #vectorization. 🎭 #drama

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

#DH2025: What are we really measuring when we count words? @artjomshl.bsky.social, @philaut.bsky.social & @plechac.bsky.social show how different meters distinctly shape seemingly unrelated feature distributions across Czech, German & Russian #poetry. Their main finding: Mind the meter! #CLS

#DH2025: Steffen Pielström, Kerstin Jung & Patrick Helling put the SPP #CLS projects to the test, examining their level of #FAIRness as a case study to assess how equal automated FAIRness tests are. #FAIR #FAIRprinciples

#DH2025: Xiaoyan Yang & @fpianz.bsky.social present a #multilingual #CLS pipeline comparing #English & #Chinese #fanfiction. Using #BookNLP, #ARMCC & #LLMs, they address #CoreferenceResolution, dialogue speaker & character feature extraction 🔥 hot topics at this year's conference. 📚🌏

Gephi Lite is great, it allows for a direct import of character network data from #DraCor, included in our "Tools" tab. Try the German "Hamlet" translation (Schlegel/Tieck edition 1843/44): dracor.org/id/gersh0000... (Especially love the "Guess settings" option for ForceAtlas2 layouting!) #DH2025

#DH2025: With their research question, Pichler & @janispagel.bsky.social hit the nail on the head 🔨: Can #LLMs apply redefined literary concepts in the prompt-and-predict paradigm (Liu et al. 2023)? #CLS #concepts #plasticity

#DH2025: Another #alignment project in #CLS. @anastasiaglawion.bsky.social and Dhara Lechner of @dhssfau.bsky.social present their work on "Tracing #Transformation: editorial shifts in the Grimm brothers’ tales". #FairyTales #German-language #fiction

"Gender of animal characters in children’s books" flowingdata.com/2025/07/16/g... (via @flowingdata.com)

"European Literary Bibliography: Tool for Research on Bibliographical Data on Literature and Literary Science" presented by Vojtěch Malínek & colleagues. Totally geeking out on MARC21, MARC-JSON-LD, VIAF, &c. 📚❤️‼️ #DH2025

Great talk by @fredner.org about jeopardy and the formation of the literary canon at #DH2025! A delight to have a year with him @urichmond.bsky.social in data science. Please congratulate him on his new @oregonstate.edu job as Assistant Professor in digital humanities! 🥳👏🎉

First up at 9AM in room B203: Jessica Monaco & Mark Algee-Hewitt analyze generic mixing in 19th-century #English-language #Gothic fiction. A diachronic take on literary transformation with transformer models. #DH2025 #CLS

#DH2025: Today (07/17), two more LitLab talks take on 19th & 20th century #English fiction through transformers & #LLMs. Stay tuned! 🔍📚💻 #CLS #CulturalAnalytics #Narratology #LiteraryComputing

#DH2025: Later today, at 2PM in room Aud B3: @guhrs.bsky.social, Huijun Mao & ‪@alexsherman.bsky.social‬ tackle #SceneSegmentation in 20th-c US #Romance novels. Fine-tuning transformers vs. prompting #LLMs — who wins? #CLS #DigitalHumanities #Scenes #LiteraryComputing

Just now #DH2025, Sandra Balck (@traed.bsky.social) and Sascha Heße presenting the COMUTE project (Collation of Multilingual Text), run jointly by colleagues @unihalle.bsky.social @unipotsdam.bsky.social @freieuniversitaet.bsky.social. www.comute-project.de/en/index.html

Neat idea by Jessica Monaco and Mark Algee-Hewitt, at #dh2025, on subgenre mixture within the Gothic novel: First, train a model to classify text segments into one of eight genres, not including the Gothic (!). Then, ask the model to classify segments from Gothic novels into those genres in […]

Macro-visualisation of the alignment between Melville's "Moby Dick" and the first German translation from 1927. Omissions in translations are one of the things that can be made visible through the work of the COMUTE project. We're experimenting with all kinds of language pairs. #DH2025

#DH2025: @julianeugarten.bsky.social & Thijs Meijerink present their work titled “Giddy Gods and Happy Heroes: Detecting #Character-Emotions in #Fanfiction about #GreekMyth with #VectorSpaceModels”.

Don't we all love annotation and especially annotating with @catma.bsky.social? 🐈 #CLS #CATMA #Annotation

#DH2025: #CLS is everywhere! In SP-09, Allison Anne Keith, Antonio Rojas Castro, et al. present their approach to using #ComputationalMethods to examine, how annotated #gracioso characters can help us understand their structural and narrative role in #Calderón's plays. #Spanish #drama #annotation

#DH2025: So exciting to see #hallucination rates calculated in #CLS with #LLMs. Great work by @sgriebel.bsky.social, Layne-Worthey, et al. on the ongoing challenge of #CharacterAttribution in English fiction titled "Strictly Speaking: Character Attribution in Literary Dialogue with Language Models"
