About the Department
Head of Department: Prof. Dr. Thomas Weitin
Digital literary science is characterized by a combination of conventional and digital methods. On the basis of detailed reading, literary historical study of sources, and cultural contextual competence, research questions are abstracted so that they can be operationalized for the use of digital tools. Digital literary science changes the style of thinking when dealing with theories and interpretations – and it has become a reliable critical instance between text and data analysis.
