The Hebrew Novel project is led by Yael Dekel, as part of her inspiring work in the @bgu-litlab.bsky.social. The sub-project presented in this article is a result of our collaboration with our wonderful colleague, @gilad-jac.bsky.social.

Instead of trying to normalize this complexity, we embrace it! Our paper offers a statistical-phenomenological look at the complexity of the reading act. Huge thanks to the amazing JCLS editors and reviewers! @jcls-io.bsky.social

Jacobson et al. explore how #ReaderUncertainty becomes a source of insight by embracing interpretive #ambiguity.
Drawing on 1,026 questionnaire responses from the #HebrewNovelProject, they examine how readers express uncertainty—from skipping questions to outright rejecting interpretive frameworks.

Operationalization and Interpretation Dependence in Computational Literary Studies
This contribution discusses the relation between the (computational) operationalization of literary studies concepts and the property of interpretation dependence, which applies to many relevant literary studies research questions and poses specific challenges to operationalization. Using the attempt to operationalize the narratological concept of unreliable narration as an illustrative example, the paper addresses three crucial subtasks for operationalizing a concept (definition, identification of steps necessary to decide if it applies and the actual application) and explicates if and why interpretation dependence complicates them. The paper concludes with general recommendations for operationalizing complex concepts coupled with a high degree of interpretation dependence.
