Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The methodology, tools, and techniques used in literary studies have been shaped over the past ten years by the interdisciplinary field known as the "Digital Humanities."

The pieces of techniques, methods of interpretation, and modes of argument that are important to literary research are expected to reshape as a result of analyses of digitised texts utilising computer-assisted tools and methodologies. From the 15th century to the 17th century through Ottoman written cultural works, this course seeks to introduce students to the Digital Humanities tools, technologies, and techniques for Ottoman Studies.

How does the ability to digital analysed texts, related networks and associated spatial information give us new insights into the history, history of literature and culture? In order to address this question the course consists of 4 main goals:
a) the basic concepts and practices of Digital Humanities tools, technologies and methodologies, and
b) the major categories of digital analysis (text analysis, network analysis, spatial analysis);
c) the related projects and databases of Ottoman Studies; and
d) allow the participants the opportunity to develop their own projects.
