| Title |
Digital philology. Producing and using digital scholarly editions |
| Description |
[Attention: The course begins on February 25, 2026] Texts are often more dynamic and problematic than they seem: what is the text of Anne Frank's diary, published only posthumously from several private notebooks and revised versions? What is the text of Dante's Commedia, among the more than 500 divergent copies? How to study and represent ancient texts preserved in fragmented documents, or the creative process of a modern author? Scholarly editions aim to answer these questions by producing critical texts and documenting the genetic process and/or textual transmission. Digital methods offer new approaches to this millennia-old discipline, contributing to data-driven workflows in line with open science.
The course will provide a theoretical and practical introduction to digital scholarly editing, including text encoding, automatic collation, web publishing, and editions in the web of data.
The course will be taught in English. We will primarily work with English texts, but we may also use texts in French, Italian, German, or Spanish depending on the students’ curricula. |
