| Title |
Quantitative Text Analysis and Distant Reading |
| Description |
This course introduces key computational methods in digital humanities, with a focus on quantitative text analysis as a means of studying literary, historical, and cultural texts. It begins with an introduction to corpus analysis methods before moving on to topic modeling, authorship attribution, and other forms of analysis, such as network, gender, and genre analysis. Students will learn to evaluate these methods in relation to disciplinary questions, source characteristics, and research goals. The course emphasizes interpretation, reproducibility, and the connection between computational results and disciplinary questions. No prior knowledge of digital humanities is required. |
