Ort:

Center for Advanced Studies Seestr. 13 80802 München

Workshop des CAS-Schwerpunktes „Maßstäbe“ unter Leitung von Prof. Dr. Julian Schröter (LMU).

The digital humanities have a rich tradition of using and reflecting on the metaphor of scale, going back to the concept of ‘scalable reading’ as a critique and development of Franco Moretti‘s notion of distant reading. Since then, questions of scale have had a strong connectionto literary and textual computation and to the pair of ‘close’ versus ‘distant’ reading. However, the methodology of scaling in the humanitiesand social sciences has advanced and gained new power from thepossibilities of generative AI and large language models.

Teilnehmer:innen sind u.a: Florentina Armaselu (University of Luxembourg), Boris Čučković Berger (LMU), Jana Diesner (TUM), Stefanie Schneider (LMU), Ursula Ströbele (HBK Braunschweig), Christian Wachter (Bielefeld), Thomas Weitin (Darmstadt).
