{"title":"Mass digitization and the garbage dump: The conflicting needs of quantitative and qualitative methods","authors":"P. Gooding","doi":"10.1093/llc/fqs054","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/llc/fqs054","url":null,"abstract":"There has been widespread excitement in recent years about the emergence of large-scale digital initiatives (LSDIs) such as Google Book Search. Although many have become excited at the prospect of a digital recreation of the Library of Alexandria, there has also been great controversy surrounding these projects. This article looks at one of these controversies: the suggestion that mass digitization is creating a virtual rubbish dump of our cultural heritage. It discusses some of the quantitative methods being used to analyse the big data that have been created, and two major concerns that have arisen as a result. First, there is the concern that quantitative analysis has inadvertently fed a culture that favours information ahead of traditional research methods. Second, little information exists about how LSDIs are used for any research other than quantitative methods. These problems have helped to fuel the idea that digitization is destroying the print medium, when in many respects it still closely remediates the bibliographic codes of the Gutenberg era. The article concludes that more work must be done to understand what impact mass digitization has had on all researchers in the humanities, rather than just the early adopters, and briefly mentions the work that the author is undertaking in this area.","PeriodicalId":235034,"journal":{"name":"Lit.

{"title":"La macchina nel tempo. Studi di informatica umanistica in onore di Tito Orlandi. Lorenzo Perilli and Domenico Fiormonte (eds.)","authors":"Elena Pierazzo","doi":"10.1093/llc/fqs072","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/llc/fqs072","url":null,"abstract":"The book contains fifteen papers collected in honour of Tito Orlandi, professor of Coptic language and literature at the University of Roma ‘La Sapienza’, who has distinguished himself for his pioneering contributions to the Digital Humanities, to Digital Classics in particular, and to digital textual scholarship in general. The festschrift opens with a dual introduction, a preface by Lorenzo Perilli and the Controcanto (‘counter melody, contrapuntal’) by Domenico Fiormonte; both editors of the collection revisit their personal, long-standing acquaintance with Tito Orlandi and his role in their (as well as many other young scholars’) personal intellectual and academic careers. Alongside these more intimate and personal recollections, the relevance and importance of Orlandi’s position at the heart of the development of Digital Humanities in Italy also emerges with clarity. A catalogue of Orlandi’s publications in the field of Digital Humanities follows. The essays have been collected in 2010 but some of them represent slightly revised reprints of previously published material (Ballo and Parodi, Fiormonte and Numerico, Ciotti, Guercio, Perilli, and Moscati); this gathering of previously scattered contributions is certainly helpful for the reader can now find in one place many contributions which were previously available only in publications which are not easy to access. Most of the essays present an introductory overview or a state of the art of different disciplinary takes on Digital Humanities (exceptions are Ballo and Parodi, Buzzetti, Roncaglia, Lana, and Buonincontro). These overview essays make this book a valuable introductory reading on Digital Humanities for a wide, uninitiated readership. The opening contribution by Fiormonte and Numerico gives an historical overview of the evolution of computation technologies and the evolution of how scholars in the Humanities have dealt with the machine (‘the machine in time’ is a possible translation of the title of the festschrift). At the other end of the volume, Tomasi’s contribution sandwiches the book by giving a comprehensive catalogue of DH-related resources, such as centres for research, associations, conferences, journals, blogs, and websites. Given Orlandi’s interest in scholarly editing, it is no surprise that papers on digital editions of texts are well represented; in particular, the contribution of Fabio Ciotti deals with markup languages, and their use in the edition of texts; his evaluation of the pros and cons of XML is very balanced and the alternatives are handsomely discussed. The paper by Buzzetti is connected to Ciotti’s but has potentially broader implications. Buzzetti represents the most theoretical contribution of the collection; as is typical for his work, he leads his readers into an increasingly theoretical speculation on the nature of markup embedded into text, arguing for its added semantic value beyond the mere representation of existing features.

{"title":"TAPT and Contextmapping: Understanding how we understand experience","authors":"C. Hooper, I. Soute","doi":"10.1093/llc/fqs019","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/llc/fqs019","url":null,"abstract":"Teasing Apart, Piecing Together (TAPT) and Contextmapping (CM) are cross-disciplinary methods for understanding people's experiences, in order to build better products and services. Whereas TAPT concerns deconstructing and reconstructing experiences, CM is a method for accessing laypeople's tacit knowledge to support design. This article describes these methods, which have been used in domains including the humanities, software engineering, and industrial design. It describes a small comparative evaluation that explores the types of insight yielded by each method, and the contexts of use in which each method is suitable. Eight students worked in pairs on two design tasks, producing designs, responding to questionnaires, and participating in a group discussion. The design tasks were built to further the research of the second author, who assessed the designs in this context. Initial results showed that both methods were suitable for use, but that TAPT was better at dealing with emotional and social aspects of experience, and was faster and easier to use: TAPT was arguably better suited to the tasks. This study demonstrates a suitable approach for comparing design methods, and lets us identify the more important research questions about the use of TAPT and CM. The designs that our participants produced can be used in a future study to garner more insights, particularly about how informative and inspirational method outputs are. The strongest factors when deciding which method to use appear to be whether there is a desired focus on emotional and social facets, and the time available to apply the method.","PeriodicalId":235034,"journal":{"name":"Lit.

{"title":"Including the power of interpretation through a simulation of Peirce's process of inquiry","authors":"P. Pauwels, R. Bod","doi":"10.1093/LLC/FQS056","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/LLC/FQS056","url":null,"abstract":"The importance of abductive reasoning is increasingly emphasized within diverse research domains in which interpretation plays a central role. This reasoning type appears to provide an answer to various significant issues in diverse domains, especially in combination with deductive and inductive reasoning, as C. S. Peirce eventually presented it in his process of (scientific) inquiry. Central to our interpretation of Peirce's process of inquiry, thus stands a cycle of abductive, deductive, and inductive reasoning, which is iterated continuously with the surrounding world as its subject. This world here is understood as the environment that surrounds us and that we experience through our senses. The continuous iteration of Peirce's process of inquiry allows constructing experience-based knowledge dynamically. This kind of knowledge comes closer to the dynamic memory and reasoning that is required for active interpretation. Issues that might be better understood and addressed accordingly involve not only interpretation but also idea generation, creativity, surprise, and so forth. This article documents a part of our efforts in simulating such a reasoning cycle using currently available technologies. Diverse hypotheses and conclusions have been made in these simulation efforts. For instance, we hypothesize that Peirce's reasoning cycle might be configured in reasoning levels, with each level handling information or patterns in different levels of invariance and meaning. These efforts have resulted in an environment in which a reasoning agent processes basic colour information and gradually builds up interpretations of such colours based on incoming information.","PeriodicalId":235034,"journal":{"name":"Lit.
