Digital methods for intertextuality studies

Abstract

It is undisputed that with the application of digital methods humanities issues can be addressed which could not be addressed so far. This is the third special issue on digital methods in the humanities that is published in it-Information Technology. The first one was published in 2009 by Thomas Burch, Claudine Moulin and Andrea Rapp, at that time all working at the Trier Center for Digital Humanities [1], the second one in 2016 by Manfred Thaller from University of Cologne [2]. Both issues presented humanities questions where the use of digital methods is useful or even necessary. As Manfred Thaller wrote in his editorial, many of them are challenges definitely worthy of a computer scientist. However, the situation has hardly changed in the last decade. Digital Humanities continue to be an issue only in the humanities and are largely ignored by computer scientists. In Germany in particular, there are only a few working groups in computer science dealing with the counterpart of Digital Humanities, the so called eHumanities which is concerned with the development of new and non-trivial information technology approaches to support humanities scholars in addressing their issues. With this special issue we would like to draw our computer science colleagues' attention to the exciting topics and the associated challenges at the interface between humanities and computer science, once again. Even though the special issue only deals with digital methods for textbased studies, there are exciting issues for computer scientists in almost all humanities fields. Take art history or archaeology, for example, where computer vision or 3D-modelling and-reconstruction play central roles. Or take political and social sciences, where big data analysis and deep learning methods have become indispensable digital methods. To answer questions in the humanities, a sound knowledge of data structures and efficient algo

“…Semiótica del discurso, la imagen y la intertextualidad transmedia En los estudios de la comunicación de masas y, en concreto, a partir de la expresión del análisis del discurso como estudio de elementos de corte comunicativo para la concepción integradora del lenguaje, se introduce el estudio de la intertextualidad (Fontanille, 2016;Marinkovich, 1998). Un campo de observación que en sus orígenes se acogía esencialmente al texto y a la organización lingüística de niveles supraoracionales y que ahora se aplica a diversas disciplinas: psicología, antropología, sociología y comunicación (Molitor & Ritter, 2020). Kristeva (1967) aludía por vez primera a la intertextualidad como la inclusión de un texto preconcebido en otros a fin de disponer del acto de significación.…”
