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 <a href="https://alma.uni-tuebingen.de/alma/pages/cm/exa/coursemanagement/basicCourseData.xhtml?_flowId=searchCourseNonStaff-flow&_flowExecutionKey=e1s6">link</a>.<br>

<br>
Jen Looper and Dmitry Soshnikov ask for feedback on their textbook proposal and list of chapters. The working title is <em>Digital Humanities: A Textbook. Connoisseurship, Scholarship, and Inquiry for Digital Humanists</em>. In the textbook, the authors propose to reflect on the advances in technology and what they can tell about the human arts. They hope to interest students especially by giving them the 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 <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrZdNkQ0q_dlXO71d_pkiPs40arrD4AyhE7SINj5uqKQxQTg/viewform">link</a>.</body></html>
