DIGITAL LITERARY ANNOTATION NEWSLETTER NO. 54 (MARCH 2021)

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

TEASYS – NEWS

Next semester, Prof. Bauer and Prof. Zirker, Tübingen University, will  
be offering a joint course on “Reading Competence: How to Understand  
Literature” (contact the instructors to learn more about the class).  
While the class will not be concerned with annotations directly, it  
nevertheless deals with questions that essentially also shape the  
discourse on literary annotations: what do readers need to understand  
literature? what makes texts difficult to understand in the first  
place? and what are strategies and teaching methods to overcome those  
difficulties? The seminar thus offers the opportunity to discuss  
different practical and theoretical approaches to the development and  
promotion of methods that help better understand literature. For a  
full description of  the seminar please follow the link[1].

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

The Annotated Web Edition Directory[2] 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. We thank you for your help.

the advances in technology and what they can tell about the human

means to ask informed questions of the data at hand and to work  
towards answering these questions with the appropriate technical  
tools. You can access their survey via this link[21].
