Thanks to everyone who came to Darmstadt! We're looking forward to future collaborations. @julianschroeter.bsky.social @sobchuk.bsky.social @jbrottrager.bsky.social @christofs.bsky.social @axelpichler.fedihum.org.ap.brid.gy (3/3)

Topics included, on the one hand, genre, canonization, and historiography, and on the other hand, evolutionary theory and linked open data. (2/3)

We already published some articles on text annotation. Check them out here:
👉 journal.fortext.org/issue/116/in... (3/3)

Open access, open peer review — submit your abstracts & join the #DH teaching discussion. We’d love for you to share your teaching experience with the community. (2/3)

But our primarily non-digital courses will surely also contain some computational elements (we just can't do without). We're looking forward to an exciting and insightful term! (4/4)

➡️ @julianhaeussler.bsky.social will run a seminar on "Computational Narratology". For our mostly non-digital audience we also provide a seminar on "Scandal and conflict" as well as the usual introduction to German Literary Studies. (3/4)

➡️ @evelyngius.bsky.social will teach a practical course titled "Manual Annotation and more: CATMA and GitMA" as well as a seminar on "Artificial intelligance in literary studies and literature teaching". (2/4)

It’s already clear how vital and successful the Priority Programme has been for advancing CLS in Germany! It’s inspiring to see how much the projects have achieved — and how many exciting new collaborations and ideas have grown from this network. We can’t wait to see what’s next! (4/4)

As part of the program, @hanshatzel.bsky.social, @evelyngius.bsky.social & @haimostiemer.bsky.social presented our current work on the PLANS project — including analyses based on our full dataset on modeling Plot Units. Our @narrativesimtask.bsky.social also sparked lively discussion! (3/4)

We especially appreciated the evening talks:
➡️ Jan Rybicki (Jagiellonian University) asked whether #ChatGPT could imitate Hemingway,
➡️ Katherine Bode (Australian National University) explored the materiality of #computing,
➡️ Damien Garreau (University of Würzburg) introduced #explainableAI. (2/4)

In the evenings we strolled around the old town of Fulda and had dinner together. And the last point of order always had to be a round of Bananagrams! From now on a must for all future team retreats! (4/4)

The second day was also dedicated to talking about a grant proposal to come. We brainstormed claims, impact and outputs we would like to see covered in the project. (3/4)

Everyday started with a quick check-in to warm up (see an example below), followed by either project discussions or planning sessions. Twice a year we review the projects and tasks of the last six months and make a preliminary plan for the next six. (2/4)

A big thank you to the organizers of “Network as Method”: @lealiese.bsky.social, Urs Büttner & @yasharmohagheghi.bsky.social – to @hjischauer.bsky.social, and to everyone in the discussion. It was inspiring! 🙏 (5/5)

➡️ With Kleist’s "The Earthquake in Chile", ChiA shows how Josephe & Jeronimo shift from active figures to passive objects. A network graph makes such dynamics visible and opens new views on narrative structure, power, and complexity. (4/5)
