See all the blog posts<\/a> about our distant reading of Hemingway.<\/p>\n As we\u2019ve explored in a number of different contexts throughout the semester, you can get a different sense of texts if you do pattern recognition at a slightly different angle. So far this has meant that we\u2019ve considered a novel via its geography<\/a> and a poetry collection at the macro level<\/a>. And then there was that whole AMBP thing<\/a>. But in each case, we did the \u201cnormal\u201d English thing by reading and discussing the texts and then looking at them through a computational lens.<\/p>\n But what if we decided to do pattern recognition on some an amount of reading that we couldn\u2019t possibly handle in the final weeks of the semester? Consider this one last, crazy digital humanities experiment!<\/p>\n Collectively, we will create a data set of all of Hemingway\u2019s stories and novels. Individually, you will be scanning a number of pages from one or two of his books and then processing those scans with optical character recognition (OCR) software.<\/p>\n It turns out that books can be kind of hard to scan since there\u2019s all that pesky page-turning to deal with. We\u2019re going to simplify things by making these books less book-like and removing their bindings.<\/p>\n This project, including the final group blog post, is worth 10% of your grade in the class. As an experimental class project, you are not being graded on what you and your group find about Hemingway\u2019s work. After all, we simply don\u2019t know what we\u2019ll find, if anything. Instead, you\u2019ll be graded on (1) whether you accomplish all the parts of the assignment (pass \/ fail); (2) how engaged you are with the work and your group; and (3) how well you apply the method of pattern recognition \/ interpretation we\u2019ve been embracing throughout the semester.<\/p>\n This assignment was designed by Brian Croxall<\/a> and is licensed with a Creative Commons BY (CC BY 4.0) license<\/a>.
