DIGITAL LITERARY ANNOTATION NEWSLETTER NO. 10 (JULY 2017)
 
TEASYS – NEWS

Next semester, PD Angelika Zirker will teach a SEMINAR on annotating  
metaphysical poetry at the Humboldt-Universität Berlin.

One of our graduate students is currently working on her MASTER  
THESIS, which is titled /Digital Explanatory Annotations for Literary  
Texts: //Possibilities – Practices – Problems – Prospects/. The thesis  
discusses how several of the problems associated with print  
annotations can be solved in the digital medium. Furthermore, it  
reviews ten annotated online editions in order to identify current  
practices and emerging patterns in this field. One chapter is  
concerned with the Tübingen /Annotating Literature /project and  
discusses the Tübingen Explanatory Annotations System[1]. A user  
survey tested students’ attitudes towards annotations in general and  
digital annotations in particular; it also collected feedback on our  
newly designed text viewer. Additionally, the thesis addresses  
problems that have not yet been solved, e.g. the issue of persistence  
or the question how annotating projects can encourage users to  
contribute and still guarantee the reliability of their annotations.

-------------------------

The Annotated Web Edition Directory is looking forward to your  
suggestions. We are always on the look-out for new entries to add to  
the list. Feel free to recommend literary digital editions that  
include explanatory annotation (of the social or the editorial kind),  
web platforms, tools and applications that enable the user to  
(collaboratively) annotate texts. Please use the corresponding form on  
our webpage[2]. We thank you for your help.
