Distant reading: un nuovo paradigma computazionale per l'analisi del testo letterario Il corso intende prendere in esame le applicazione delle tecnologie di text mining per lo studio e l'analisi di testi letterari. Il contesto teorico in cui si collocano questi nuovi metodi computazionali di analisi del testo è stato delineato da Franco Moretti che ha introdotto il termine 'distant reading' per indicare come essi introducano un vero e proprio cambio di paradigma negli studi letterari. In questo nuovo paradigma la critica non deve più concentrare il suo sguardo sulle singole opere, siano esse i grandi capolavori del canone o meno, bensì sui macrofenomeni emergenti dalla totalità della produzione letteraria, sia a livello sincronico sia a livello diacronico. Il corso è composto da una sezione di carattere metodologica e teorica e da una di carattere pratico e applicativo. Nella parte applicativa si prenderanno in esame alcuni dei principali metodi di text mining per gli studi letterari e si utilizzeranno alcuni dei tool più diffusi in questo ambito [R e Mallet].
