This seminar serves as a practical exercise and application of knowledge and methods conveyed in the seminar "Introduction to Digital Literary Studies", in dynamic in project-based, interdisciplinary teams. Hence, accompanying participation in the seminar "Introduction to Digital Literary Studies" is a prerequisite. In small group-based research projects, we will implement and explore methods of digital, especially quantitative analysis of literary texts against the theoretical background of Ecocriticism. The approach of Ecocriticism investigates literary texts and practices in the context of a general ecology: it asks for representations and fictionalizations of nature, environment and climate it examines the differential logic of nature and culture and analyzes ecological figures of thought in literary texts. In this seminar, we will start with a joint reflection of the discourse of ecocriticism, will then discuss how a digital analysis can be operationalized by means of quantitative and sometimes qualitative methods. Eventually participants will develop and carry out small team-baed research projects for the digital analysis of literary texts from the point of view of ecocriticism. The seminar will initially take place in weekly sessions, in which we will develop the theoretical foundations and deepen our knowledge of digital methods. Project work will essentially take the form of a hackathon in the form of a block seminar on two days in June (planned: Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20). Given the nature of digital analysis, the seminar presupposes a willingness to work with computers. This seminar is part of the BMBF project ”Forschen | Lernen Digital” (FoLD) Please note: as this seminar is a cooperation with the Department of German Studies - Prof. Dr. Peer Trilcke (Germanistik) teaching-langue will be German.
