Anotace

Poslední úprava: Jana Heroutová (14.02.2020)

This course is an introducting to Digital Humanities with a focus on digital methods in historiography in general and examples from European history in particular. By definition, it is also a course on methodology and modelling in the humanities. The course will focus mostly on methods and techniques that are popular in historiography like text mining/topic modelling and historical network analysis. While it will provide mostly an orientation within the field of DH, there will be some practical exercises. In-depth knowledge of programming or computer science is, however, not required. The course will on a basic level deal with databases and historical network analysis and encourages some practical usage as well. Participants are therefore encouraged to use the course to implement their own data and research interests.

Poslední úprava: PhDr. Barbora Štolleová, Ph.D. (19.03.2020)

Participants are expected to take an active part in the course, preparing short presentations on selected topics. Examination will take the form of either an oral examination or a written essay, or – provided suitable material – practical implementation within a collaborative DH project.
