DIGITAL LITERARY ANNOTATION NEWSLETTER NO. 80 (MAY 2023)

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

TEASYS – NEWS

This week, our Annotating Literature groups have had their first  
meetings. Are you as excited as we are? As a teaser to the upcoming  
wave of annotations that will be produced, you may want to browse  
through the annotations to Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s fittingly  
titled poem “Work[1]”.

We cordially invite you to attend Michael Göggelmann’s (University of  
Tübingen/University of Cologne) TANDEM TALK with Prof. Dr. Julia  
Nantke (University of Hamburg) and Marie Flüh, M.Ed. (University of  
Hamburg) on “DICKENS, DEHMEL UND DIGITALE ZUGRIFFE ZUR  
WISSENSCHAFTLICHEN ERSCHLIEßUNG VON BRIEFSAMMLUNGEN”. This tandem talk  
will give insight into inspiring research on various digital analyses  
of letters, cross-references within the texts, as well as the analysis  
of emotions. It will take place on Monday, May 15, 2023, from  
16:15-17:45 in room 406 of Brechtbau at the University of Tübingen,  
but you can also join via zoom. Please register for participation  
(digital or in person) by sending an email to  
michael.goeggelmann at uni-tuebingen.de. 

Further, we will welcome Prof. Dr. Michaela Mahlberg, from the  
University of Birmingham who will be holding a GUEST LECTURE with the  
title “DISCOURSE LEVELS IN THE NOVEL: CHARACTER SPEECH AND NARRATOR  
COMMENT” on Monday, June 12, 2023, from 10:15-11:45. The guest lecture  
is part of Prof. Dr. Angelika Zirker’s Seminar “How to Do Things with  
Corpora (in Literary Studies)?” and will take place in room 306 of  
Brechtbau at the University of Tübingen. You are very welcome to join  
the guest lecture, and if you have any questions regarding the talk,  
you may send an email to angelika.zirker at uni-tuebingen.de. A zoom link  
to attend online can also be provided.

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.
