Project website: https://poplite.org/

Abstract:

Pop-Lite aims to address the lack of digitized resources, literary corpora, and customized tools for the treatment of modern Romanian prints, to save non-canonical texts from forgetfulness through digital editing, and to provide an innovative approach in terms of preprocessing, storage, and processing. Pop-Lite will deliver interoperable and machine-readable formats of 100 Romanian literary texts published during the long 19th century (1850-1920). The project’s objectives are the following:

O1: to create of a benchmark literary corpus for the study of 19th-century Romanian popular novels and of their subgenres;

O2: to test existing tools for digital literary studies on diachronic varieties of Romanian language and to customize them;

O3: to foster the acquisition by early career investigators of state-of-the-art methods of distant reading, including digital competencies, best practices and methods;

O4: to engage a critical mass of researchers into an interdisciplinary investigation of literary data focused on the theoretical, methodological and practical consequences of distant reading approaches for the Romanian literary history and literary theory.

Pop-Lite is the first Romanian initiative that combines DH tools and methods with the traditional approaches on literary history and theory. The emphasis on methodological concerns and on new DR-related theoretical concepts will generate an easy transfer of good practices and follow-up research in both national and international academia.

Pop-Lite will be implemented in 3 stages, each having specific Work Packages:

1. Initiation in DLS;

2. Practice in DLS;

3. Data validation and project follow-ups.

The project results are: a. documentation in DHL best practices (guideline, reports, white-paper, workflow); b. 3 scientific articles/ books chapters and 1 book; 5 conference papers; 8 research stay reports; 1 open access corpus; 1 shadow repository; 1 site; 2 workshops.

Abstract:

The project undertakes to run a comparative field survey and statistical inquiry into the use of new and emergent technologies in college education in Belgium and Romania, particularly the level of digital skills, digitization, and employment of digital tools and approaches in curricular and extra-curricular education or education-related activities. While doing so, the joint teams will apply themselves state-of-the-art approaches, mainly natural language processing and social media analysis-based, to provide information, methods, tools, and approaches for further related research in the two countries, while also outputting data, algorithms, strategies, and publications for future policies in the area.

Abstract:

Le projet HAI-RO se propose de contribuer à la remédiation des carences, tels que l'absence de corpus numériques et des traitements informatiques appropriés pour les études littéraires, en proposant les suivants objectifs :

-la création d'un corpus en XML, encodé selon le standard TEI Lite, d'une quarantaine de textes centrés sur le personnage du haïdouk (romans, nouvelles, récits courts), publiés en roumain entre 1850 et 1950;

-la mobilisation et l'adaptation d'outils de la linguistique de corpus, de la stylométrie et du topic modelling pour la caractérisation des traits internes du genre «littérature des haïdouks», venant compléter l'analyse des traits externes (conventions développées pendant l'évolution historique du genre);

-l'annotation, puis l'extraction et l'analyse avec des XQueries, d'unités sémantiques (mots, groupes de mots, phrases) participant à la création de l'espace dans la "littérature des haïdouks".

Le principal résultat du projet sera la création d'un corpus de textes roumains du XIXe siècle, aligné sur un standard international d'édition (XML/TEI), et comportant des annotations sémantiques. Librement accessible, le corpus créé sera stocké sur la plateforme Nakala en France, et signalé sur HAL-SHS. En accord avec ses objectifs scientifiques, le projet produira un schéma et un guide d'annotation des lieux, adapté aux textes littéraires. Enfin, il est attendu que le projet donne lieu au moins à deux publications dans des revues internationales à comité de lecture et à une présentation dans une conférence internationale.
