| Summary: | One common assumption in the Digital Humanities is that one of its
functions is to develop and apply new, computer-supported methods to
address research topics in literary studies. Research questions in
literary studies, however, are historically variable and highly
dependent upon what one understands as the object of analysis: what is a
text, and what is the point of investigating it? Such formulations are
always the effect of media cultures, however. Using four characteristics
as examples, this paper discusses the semantic transformation of the
literary studies research object in connection with digitisation, and it
advocates for an understanding of the Digital Humanities as the location
of a fundamental methodological discussion about the nature of the
literary object. |
