Lexicography Revisited: Dictionaries in the Age of Digital Humanities
\nToma Tasovac
\nCenter for Digital Humanities
\nBelgrade<\/p>\n
2pm, Wednesday April 27, Bopp Seminar Room, John Hay Library<\/p>\n
A dictionary is many things at once: a text, a tool, a model of
\nlanguage and a cultural object deeply embedded into the historical
\nmoment of its production. The advances in digital humanities, textual
\nstudies, digital libraries and postmodern literary theory do not seem
\nto have had a profound effect on the way we theorize or produce
\ndictionaries. But the time is ripe to explore and exploit both in
\ntheoretical and practical terms the ways in which the electronic
\ntext has changed our notion of what a dictionary is (or ought to be)
\nand what it can (or should) do.<\/p>\n
Toma Tasovac has degrees in Russian Literature from Harvard and
\nComparative Literature from Princeton. Today, he is heading the Center
\nfor Digital Humanities in Belgrade, Serbia and working on several DH
\nprojects, including Transpoetika: A Digital Platform for Serbian
\nLanguage and Literature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
