Team @dhpotsdam.bsky.social wrapping up an intense week in Daejeon. Many thanks to the organisers @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social, this was one of the best #DH conferences I've ever attended! 😄
Ten years, 114 papers, one plot twist: drama research got fancier tools (hi transformers! 🤖) but never broke up with 1970s theory🥸. At #DH2026, @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presented our dive into the DraCor bibliography (2015-2025): what changed, and what stubbornly did not. Slides: plu.sh/decadrama
Also I spent the evening before our #DH2026 presentation cutting PoeTree.org project stickers ✂️ straight cuts wasn't easy with konbini-bought scissors so some stickers have custom non-square shape.. find them at the 1st floor! and find us with @artjomshl.bsky.social to talk about poetry corpora
Twin talks by our team at #DH2026 in 🇰🇷: 👉 Tue 30 / 9:00-10:30 / Room 105: "Introducing EcoCor: An Open Infrastructure for Digital Ecocriticism" 👉 Fri 31 / 11:00-12:30 / Room 204-205: "A Decade in Drama Research. Data Mining the DraCor Bibliography" cc @dh2026daejeon.bsky.social @dracor.org
If you're like me, constantly jumping between the abstract book and the programme, you might find this tiny website that I tried to quickly stitch together useful: dh-daejeon.vercel.app. #DH2026
Some days ago my dissertation was finally published 📚✨ if you're into early modern drama, computational literary studies, or cultural evolution, this little book might have something for you. Read it for free here: www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-7... cc @transcript-verlag.bsky.social #DH #CLS
Opening the 5th Annual Conference of Computational Literary Studies, @peertrilcke.bsky.social said that 'once is an accident, twice is a coincidence, three times is a tradition'. And five times is an INSTITUTION, added @danja.bsky.social. Cheers to the institutionalisation of #CLS then! 🥂 #CCLS2026
Vote counting for the very first #CCLS Poster Award is underway 👀🗳️ the winner(s) will be announced tomorrow during the closing act of #CCLS2026 @dhpotsdam.bsky.social @jcls-io.bsky.social

🚀 Just launched the #DigitalHumanities Early Career Fellowship at @unipotsdam.bsky.social ✅ In the first class, we turned historical sources into data with OCR, discussed “what counts as data” in the humanities, did some metadata modeling, and met a wonderful new cohort of young researchers! #DH

What are the key components of a #play? 🎭 #DH2025: @lucagiovannini.bsky.social takes us on a tour through centuries of thinking from #Aristotle’s #Poetics, through Russian formalism, to modern literary theory and unpacks the question offering a fresh perspective. #drama #operationalization #CLS
@lucagiovannini.bsky.social and I are ready for day 2 at #DH2025! ☀️ So good to see colleagues from all around the world 🗺️ Who else is at the mini conference “The Times they are a-changing”?
💫 We just rolled out a new #DraCor release featuring significant improvements to the API, Frontend, and Schema. Full update here: weltliteratur.net/dracor-platf... #DigitalHumanities #DH2025
#CCLS2025 is about to start. @peertrilcke.bsky.social opens the probably "hottest conference of the year". We're ready for hot research on #ComputationalLiteraryStudies.
