Computational Analysis of the Body in European Fairy Tales

This article explores how digital humanities research methods can be used to analyze the representations of gendered bodies in European fairy tales, a flexible and pervasive genre that has influenced Western children\u27s education and acquisition of gender identity for centuries. By blending the theoretical and methodological concerns of folkloristics, gender studies, and large-scale scientific research, this article demonstrates the utility of cross-disciplinary collaboration in asking traditional questions of traditional materials with new methods. To facilitate this research, a hand-coded database listing every reference to a body or body part in the 233 fairy tales was created. Analysis revealed strong indications that the gender and age of fairy-tale protagonists correlate in ways that indicate societal value being placed on certain perspectives, with youthful and masculine perspectives being validated as universal, whereas feminine and aged bodies are often marked as ‘other’. Feminist scholars have articulated some of these ideas in the past, and this approach allows for a more empirical exploration of such claims

Getting Started with Topic Modeling and MALLET

This article Published by the Editorial Board of the Programming Historian is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic License. Available at: http://programminghistorian.org/lessons/topic-modeling-and-malletIn this lesson you will first learn what topic modeling is and why you might want to employ it in your research. You will then learn how to install and work with the MALLET natural language processing toolkit to do so. MALLET involves modifying an environment variable (essentially, setting up a short-cut so that your computer always knows where to find the MALLET program) and working with the command line (ie, by typing in commands manually, rather than clicking on icons or menus). We will run the topic modeller on some example files, and look at the kinds of outputs that MALLET installed. This will give us a good idea of how it can be used on a corpus of texts to identify topics found in the documents without reading them individually

The Network Turn

This Element contends that networks are a category of study that cuts across traditional academic barriers, uniting diverse disciplines through a shared understanding of complexity in our world. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core

Preoxygenation and prevention of desaturation during emergency airway management,”

Patients requiring emergency airway management are at great risk of hypoxemic hypoxia because of primary lung pathology, high metabolic demands, anemia, insufficient respiratory drive, and inability to protect their airway against aspiration. Tracheal intubation is often required before the complete information needed to assess the risk of periprocedural hypoxia is acquired, such as an arterial blood gas level, hemoglobin value, or even a chest radiograph. This article reviews preoxygenation and peri-intubation oxygenation techniques to minimize the risk of critical hypoxia and introduces a risk-stratification approach to emergency tracheal intubation. Techniques reviewed include positioning, preoxygenation and denitrogenation, positive end expiratory pressure devices, and passive apneic oxygenation. [Ann Emerg Med. 2011;xx:xxx.

The Latin American Comics Archive (LACA): an online platform housing digitized Spanish-language comics as a tool to enhance literacy, research, and teaching through scholar/ student collaboration

The Latin American Comics Archive (LACA)1 is an ongoing project combining capabilities for Spanish language and culture teaching, research in the Humanities, and digital technologies as a tool for expanding the access and analysis of Latin American comics for both scholars and students. Thanks to a Digital Humanities Mellon Seed Grant, LACA started out with a small representative sample of Latin American comics that were digitized and encoded in CBML over the 2016-2017 academic year. In the Fall of 2017, a pilot course allowed students and researchers to access and explore these source materials as pedagogical tools for learning and researching about Spanish language and Latin American culture. The use of digital tagging and annotation tools on the archive enabled for the analysis of the visual and verbal language of comics, as well as cultural and linguistic items or themes, and a variety of formal categories. Students and researchers were able to collaborate in the definition of key terms to be annotated and used for the research of topics in the digitized comics, with the object of ultimately creating or collaborating in critical editions of comics for use by others, and the expansion of the archive, which will eventually be open to general scholarly use by students and researchers. Integrated applications could also allow for the production of short critical interventions in comic format.El Archivo del Cómic Latinoamericano (LACA, por sus siglas en inglés) es un proyecto en curso que combina las áreas de la enseñanza del idioma español y las culturas latinoamericanas, la investigación en las Humanidades, y las tecnologías digitales para desarrollar una herramienta que permita a estudiantes e investigadores/as mayores posibilidades de acceso a y análisis de los cómics latinoamericanos. Gracias a una modesta beca del fondo Digital Humanities Mellon Seed Grant en Carnegie Mellon University, LACA se inició con el propósito de curar y digitalizar una pequeña muestra representativa de cómics latinoamericanos que luego fueron codificados en el lenguaje CBML a lo largo del año académico 2016-2017. En el otoño de 2017, se puso en práctica un curso piloto en el que el investigador principal (IP) y sus estudiantes exploraron el uso de estos materiales como herramientas pedagógicas para el aprendizaje y la investigación en torno a la lengua española y las culturas latinoamericanas. El uso de herramientas de marcaje y anotación sobre el archivo permitió el análisis de aspectos visuales y verbales propios del lenguaje historietístico, al igual que de elementos o temas culturales y lingüísticos, bajo una variedad de categorías formales. Mediante la colaboración entre estudiantes y el IP, se definieron y anotaron elementos clave para contribuir a la investigación, hacia el objetivo último de expandir el archivo con ediciones o exhibiciones de estos cómics para usuarios que sean investigadores/as y estudiantes. El desarrollo de aplicaciones integradas también podría permitir eventualmente la producción de breves intervenciones críticas originales en el formato de cómic.O Latin American Comic Archive (LACA) é um projeto em andamento que combina as áreas de ensino de espanhol e culturas latino-americanas, pesquisa em Humanidades e tecnologias digitais para desenvolver uma ferramenta que permita aos estudantes e pesquisadores maiores possibilidades de acesso e análise de histórias em quadrinhos latino-americanas.
