Cofunding core facility - Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (GhentCDH) Ghent University
The increasing digitisation of society and thus also of research sources and heritage means that researchers have to develop workflows and use software to manage, organise and analyse an incalculable amount of different types of documents and information/data. Thus, the increasing availability of archival and library collections as data (information in machine-readable format) enables the use of new approaches and thus digital tools. This is ...
Sabbatical Dirk Speelman: Distributional semantics meets Digital Humanities KU Leuven
Recent methodological advances in corpus-based distributional semantics have made it possible to study semantics in new ways and, above all, on a scale that was previously unimaginable, both within earlier theoretical/descriptive and more applied research. Whereas extensive empirical linguistic research previously had to make do with the study of semantics with a rather limited set of instruments, certainly compared to what was available to ...

Indeed, despite the EU’s commitment to raise digital literacy, in 2017 nearly half of European citizens still lacked even the most basic digital skills such as communicating online or creating content. Worse, such lack of ...
Digital Ecopoetics. Moving beyond Anthropocentrism in the Contemporary French Environmental Novel Ghent University
The DigEco project will analyze a corpus of 100 environmental French novels (from 2000 to the present day) using tools and methods developed in the Digital Humanities. This innovative approach will allow me to verify the hypothesis that this corpus is characterized by formal specificities that contribute to the definition of the environmental novel as a genre. I will attempt to show that the environmental novel renews fictional forms through ...
