Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course is meant to introduce the critical and technical principles for doing Digital Humanities in Korean Studies. Digital Humanities work is done at the intersection of computational methods and humanistic research. Digital Humanities allow students to explore how digital technologies enhance our understanding of history, literature, philosophy, religion, other cultures, and ourselves. Through the use and development of critical thinking skills, students will learn how to engage with digital media, and they will be introduced to digital techniques and tools for research, analysis, and publication. Students will come to understand what the Humanities are (both traditional and digital) and how humanities disciplines are transformed into Digital Humanities projects those are specifically aimed at researching topics relevant to Korean Studies.
Each student will gain experience with hands-on, creative digital work, and will have the opportunity to build digital projects solo or in a paired/remote setting. The projects will allow students to speak to their interests in Korean Studies by experimenting with text analysis, mapping, timelines, and networks.

Course Objectives
By the end of this course, students will be able to:

● Get acquainted with the different Digital Humanities methods and tools that are used and how these are applicable to Korean Studies-related projects.
● Gain knowledge about the wealth of open access data available to researchers in Korean Studies.
● Explore various theoretical and applied perspectives on the Digital Humanities.
● Develop familiarity with a wide range of Digital Humanities projects, methods, and
tools.
● Build skills in planning, developing, and evaluating Digital Humanities projects.
● Critically discuss Digital Humanities in light of current theories and methods.
● Explain how Digital Humanities methods and practices are applied in different
disciplines and for Korean Studies-related topic specifically.
● Conduct basic Digital Humanities research and research-supporting activities.
● Facilitate Digital Humanities work at various levels and stages.

Plagiatsnotiz:
Mit Ihrer Anmeldung zu der Lehrveranstaltung erklären Sie, ALLE Leistungen eigenständig zu erbringen und alle Quellen und Hilfsmittel, die Sie benutzen, durch Zitieren/Belegen kenntlich zu machen.
Beachten Sie unbedingt IMMER:
- Alle Textelemente und Bilder, die mittels KI-Tools generiert wurden, sowie deren Veränderung im Prozess der Erstellung einer Arbeit oder notenrelevanten Teilleistung müssen transparent gemacht werden. Verstöße werden wie Plagiate behandelt.
- Das Plagiieren, also die Übernahme fremder Ideen und Formulierungen ohne entsprechende Quellenangaben (= Zitate), verstößt gegen die Grundsätze des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens. Das gilt auch für Eigenplagiate! Wird ein Plagiat festgestellt, so führt dies automatisch zu einer Nicht-Bewertung der gesamten Lehrveranstaltung; im Sammelzeugnis scheint dann der Vermerk "unerlaubte Hilfsmittel" auf, darüber hinaus kann es auch strafrechtliche Konsequenzen haben. Dies gilt ausnahmslos für alle schriftlichen Abgaben.
