Thank you to those who attended my breakout session at THATCampOK2016, “Doing Things with Words: an Update.” Here’s a link to my slide presentation for anyone interested. It might not be terribly useful out of context, but at the least it has links to the tools I discussed and my contact info.

LA Review of Books series on DH http://thatcampok2016.thatcamp.org/2016/05/17/la-review-of-books-series-on-dh/ Tue, 17 May 2016 19:31:54 +0000 http://thatcampok2016.thatcamp.org/?p=235 Continue reading ]]>

For those who haven’t yet seen the LA Review of Books series on digital humanities, you might want to take a look at some of those articles/interviews as food for thought going into Friday’s discussions and planning for Saturday’s sessions. There is a main interview series, but there are also related pieces. A mid-series post in their “Cultural Studies” section posited ties between DH and neoliberalism, and that spawned multiple responses, including essays by Juliana Spahr, Richard So, and Andrew Piper, Roopika Risam, and others. Matthew Kirschenbaum also wrote a great piece that refuses to let itself be linked here… but it can be found at medium.com under “@mkirschenbaum.”

Visiting Assistant Professor

English, OSU

I would like or this combination-TALK/PLAY session to explore the potentials of using Google Earth or other locative media in literary analysis. For the TALK component, we can use my Mapping Dubliners Project, which maps out the approximately 200 geographical references in James Joyce’s Dubliners, as a lead-in to discuss how maps can inform our interpretation of political and historical themes in literary texts. After looking at some of Google Earth’s functionality in this context, participants can PLAY with Google Earth and experiment with its interface. No prior experience with mapping software is necessary, but participants should be able to download Google Earth on their laptops for the PLAY portion.

Description: Humanities scholars are trained to critique power relationships and representations, while technology practitioners are trained to optimize what computers do, but who might think critically about the limitations of applying digital methods to humanities scholarship?  And how might we do that?  The digital world is, by default, very tidy, while the real world is very messy, so to what degree can we use digital methods to investigate the world of human phenomena?  This session will propose a few basic concepts for assessing digital methods, and then we will discuss some common digital approaches in light of the concepts proposed.

Mary Larson

There are a lot of points of intersection between oral history and digital humanities, and as someone with a foot in both methodologies, I am always interested in discussing the places where they overlap. I’d like to have a conversation with other practitioners about where they see those junctures, whether they are meaningful or superficial, and what the areas of similarity say about where both methodologies are headed – either separately or in tandem. A particular area of discussion might be the idea of curation and how our conceptual understandings of it have been evolving in both oral history and digital humanities.

Last year I discussed a project in the works: a computer-assisted analysis of the dialogue of the U.S. television program Supernatural. A year later, the project is still in the works, but much has been learned (and forgotten and relearned). Many hurdles have arisen and some have been overcome. In this session I will discuss the project and the hurdles and briefly demonstrate a few language processing tools such as AntConc, TagAnt, and Voyant Tools 2.0 beta. The hope is that my difficulties will make future projects proceed more smoothly for attendees, and that we can share ways to make complications less complicated.

This breakout session will introduce participants to a digital humanities project analyzing the semantic components of words for LAUGHING and SMILING in 13 different languages. The material are the original English text and  translations of Ken Kesey’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. The main tools are lexico-semantic word field theory and visualization with circos graphs.

THATCampOk 2016 Breakout Session: How to Use TextSTAT and Fan Sites

This proposal is for a TEACH session. NOTE: This will be a 2-part breakout session scheduled back-to-back

This session focuses on how to use a free and simple text analysis program called TextSTAT that I have been using several years on digital humanities projects. I define “digital humanities” as using existing (free) programs to develop my literary and cultural studies scholarship. TextSTAT can be used as a simple way to generate data about rhetorical choices on the word and phrase level for textual analysis. The program generates data on word frequency and combinations of words that can be easily exported to several different formats (Word.doc, Excel, .txt, and CVS) for analysis. Moreover, the program is easy to use (compared to other more complex text analysis programs).

Keywords:

TextSTAT

Keyword Analysis

Concordances

Fan sites

Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit

Participants will download the program to their own laptops and notebooks. The session will be primarily hands-on as we work with a text file (a small corpus) to explore the possibilities.

Information about and instructions for using TextSTAT as well as examples of output based on my current project on the reception of Tauriel can be found here:
