DFG Priority Programme Computational Literary Studies

Computational Literary Studies is an emerging interdisciplinary research field at the intersection of literary studies and computer science aiming to apply computational methods to digitized literary texts to learn more on literary history, narratology or literary writing style. In the priority programme SPP 2207 ‘Computational Literary Studies’, starting in 2020, the German Research Foundation (DFG) funds innovative projects from this research field.
Currently, the programme is comprised of 10 funded projects and one associated project, including researchers from 12 different research institutions in Germany and Switzerland.

• The central project (coordination) (Steffen Pielström, Kerstin Jung, Patrick Helling)

• Current funding phase:

  • Literary Change. German Poetry between Realism and Early Modernism and Its Relation to Literary, Cultural and Social Developments (Simone Winko & Fotis Jannidis)

• previous funding phase (2020–2023):

  • Emotions in Drama (Katrin Dennerlein & Christian Wolff)
  • The beginnings of modern poetry - Modeling literary history with text similarities (Simone Winko & Fotis Jannidis)
