Digital Humanities Reading Group: June

The Digital Humanities Reading Group is a light and easy way to get into regularly discussing peer-reviewed DHwork, no previous knowledge necessary. Everyone is welcome. The group is across the Humanities faculty and is currently hosted at Engerom.

We discuss either a work-in-progress text by one of the participants, a guest presentation, or a published paper, as part of an informal and friendly meet-up. This session, we will discuss Underwood, Ted. 2016. “The Life Cycles of Genres.” Journal of Cultural Analytics 2 (2). https://doi.org/10.22148/16.005.

• 15 minutes - Discussion of the methodologies used in the paper – helping each other to understand anything that is unfamiliar, technical or otherwise
• 15 minutes - Discussion of the ‘why’ behind the paper – why do we think the journal chose to publish it?
• 15 minutes - Is there anything from the paper we could use for our own research? (roundtable)
