• Project area B6: Properties of figures of aesthetic reflection: Systematic annotation and quantitative analysis

My project focuses on the question how character properties can be automatically extracted from texts. My work is located in the context of the digital humanities and is thus placed at the interface of computational procedures and literary and aesthetic analysis.
The aim is to develop a method and procedure that extracts character traits of characters from narrative texts. Later on, character profiles will be derived from the individual features of a figure in the text. The analysis is based on a corpus of texts belonging to the genre of fanfiction. Within the Collaborative Research Center, the project builds a bridge to modernity and, at the same time, hopes to develop analytical procedures that can also be used to explore the aesthetics of schematized figures and types in pre-modern literature.
