- Abstract:
- Curatorial note from Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: The GitHub repository that documents Rachel Buurma’s digitally-inflected literature course, The Rise of the Novel, provides an additional example of how a focused humanistic research interest might be explored through computational techniques. Buurma focuses on questions of realism as they relate to the rise of the novel and incorporates exercises that use software libraries that assist in various distant reading techniques. Buurma’s course design demonstrates how such exercises might be framed conceptually and anchored in specific texts—evidently to much success. (Student responses to the exercises are documented on the course blog.) When adapting this model for use in other contexts, one must consider in advance what types of questions are best suited to specific computational techniques and what specific objects of inquiry—textual or otherwise—might serve as the best source for their application.
