Interdisciplinary Networks in Heidelberg
Heidelberg University strives to provide its young researchers with the best possible conditions for interdisciplinary networking and research collaborations. We will present some of these opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange on this page.
Das Interdisziplinäre Forum digitaler Textwissenschaften ist ein Treffpunkt für NachwuchswissenschaftlerInnen, die einmal im Monat Theorie und Praxis der digitalen Textwissenschaften erörtern möchten und Interesse haben, die Anwendungsgebiete in Bild- und Musikwissenschaften kennenzulernen.
Digitale Methoden der Textanalyse haben es in den letzten Jahren ermöglicht, immer mehr Neues in Texten zu entdecken und Altes in größere Kontexte einzubetten. Doch wie lassen sich die interdisziplinären Ansätze der Digital Humanities methodologisch in der Wissenschaftstheorie verorten? Sind sie ein zukünftiger neuer wissenschaftlicher Ansatz neben den traditionellen Methoden der Literatur-, Sprach-, Kultur- und Geschichtswissenschaft? Welche Anwendungsbereiche finden sich an der Universität Heidelberg?
