The Digital Frontier? New Approaches to Literary and Translation Studies, History and Music

Giovanni Pietro Villani (Université de Versailles Saint-Quentin - Paris Saclay)

in conversation with

Federica Coluzzi (Italian/CDI, Warwick)

While it is difficult to answer the question what are the digital humanities, empirically it becomes easier to show what advantages digital brings to research in the humanities. The aim of this talk is to show the inside of a digital laboratory in order to show what are the reflections, failures and successes of using informatics applied to different fields of the humanities. Examples will be shown of studies carried out in the English-speaking, Italian-speaking Francophone and Spanish-speaking areas relating to procedures typical of literary analysis and studies of translation, (socio)linguistics, history and music.

We are sorry to learn that Liliana Odjo, who studied Spanish with us in the Language Centre has died and we are thinking of her friends and family at this difficult time. Our Wellbeing team are here to provide support to anyone who needs it. More details of Liliana's life can be found here: https://warwick.ac.uk/students/news/newsevents/in-memoriam-lo/

and arrangements for a condolences book will be shared there in due course.
