Video Interview with Critical Inquiry

Published by richardjeanso at 3:45 pm under Uncategorized

Hoyt Long and Richard Jean So did a video interview with Critical Inquiry regarding our forthcoming article: “Literary Pattern Recognition: Modernism Between Close Reading and Machine Learning” (Winter 2016). We had a chance to talk about our work in the digital humanities, as well as offer some general thoughts on the uses of computation to study culture and literature, while remaining reflexive and critical about the technology we use.
