Despite their remarkable value, autobiographies appear to remain one of the most under-utilized historical resources. The proposed research project in digital humanities will apply computational Distant Reading-methods (natural language processing in general and topic modeling in particular) as a complement to traditional ”close reading” of Indigenous Australian autobiographies, aiming to identify meaningful language use patterns in the context of social environment and historical events. Cooperation Partner: C2DH.
