And just like that, the #DH2026 week is over! Whether online or on-site in South Korea, it was truly wonderful to see the DH community come together around so many different projects, ideas, and people. We're grateful for all the interest and thoughtful feedback on our contributions. 🙏 (1/2)

Oftentimes the smartest infrastructure is the simplest one. Today at #DH2026, our lab member Steffi presents a poster on minimal computing in public DH and science communication, with @viktor.im (FU Berlin). Their plea: make it static to make it last – but first ask what's worth keeping. (1/2)

Let’s go! An exciting week lies ahead @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social. I will be speaking on behalf of @fortextlab.bsky.social about a comparison of German-language and Hebrew climate fiction, and about pauses in prose as semantic markers. #DH2026 #CLS #DigitalHumanities #DH #Conference #Narratology

The fortext lab will also be in Daejeon next week for Digital Humanities 2026 @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social! We’re delighted to be part of the conference and look forward to inspiring discussions, new perspectives, and exchange with the international DH community. #DH2026 #CLS #DigitalHumanities (1/4)

Recommendations wanted: our colleague @haimostiemer.bsky.social is designing a seminar on German-language crime literature for the coming winter term, using Boltanski as the theoretical framework and annotation as the method. Which Krimis are essential reading? 🕵️ bsky.app/profile/haim...

Im nächsten WiSe gebe ich ein Seminar zur Kriminalliteratur. Welche deutschsprachigen Kriminalgeschichten bzw. -romane würdet Ihr empfehlen? Es soll annotiert werden und Boltanski wird der Theorierahmen. #Umfrage #Kriminalliteratur #Lehre #Literaturwissenschaft · #Germanistik #Hochschullehre

In the 2nd week of June, Malte attended the final conference of The Flow project at @unibe.ch 🏔️ dhbern.github.io/content/proj... He had been invited to provide an outside perspective and to comment on the technical workflow and tools developed in the project. (1/4) #DigitalHumanities #DH #DHTools

I'm on a 38(!)-author paper just published in Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, "Computational hermeneutics: evaluating generative AI as a cultural technology". We splice Schleiermacher and hermeneutic theory into AI debates, arguing AI are "context machines". www.frontiersin.org/journals/art...
