Networking texts, tools and researchers
Abstract
My presentation will focus on a new research project destined to develop strategies and tools for analyzing literary works presently available in electronic form or through databases. Our goal is not quantitative research based on frequencies, stylistic observations or simply putting key words in context with concordances. We are trying to find ways of bringing to light recurring scenarios and organizing processes in narratives. We build upon the work done by the SATOR in identifying narrative topoi in literary texts from the Middle Ages. I will present the work done so far on this project and, with a specific example, the strategy we are developing.
