Journal of Computational Literary Studies has the most beautiful journal design — and such a great team behind it! Happy and honoured to be published here: bsky.app/profile/jcls... Many thanks to everyone involved! 💙
How do literary communities actually form?
@maria-lev.bsky.social analyzes the networks of collaboration and aesthetic affinity that are documented through cultural events — e.g. readings, book launches, festivals. These real-world networks often remain invisible in text-based literary history.

My parents used to live in a small town with 1 used bookstore. They had dozens of books in the “Men Made in America” romance series. The gimmick is simple yet profound: 1 man (1 book) per state. Probably encouraged by @jdporter.bsky.social, I thought this would make a fun corpus for a DH project 2/3

Today’s #highlight for me on the last day of #DH2025? @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presenting his "Modest Proposal for Operationalizing Dramatic Texts". He proposes drama vectorization not to simplify plays, but rather to continue formalist morphological thinking using computational tools. 🎭📊
