Worthäufigkeiten als Quelle für die Geschichtswissenschaft? – Einblicke in die Digital Humanities
Introduction by OpenMethods Editor (Christopher Nunn):
Especially humanities scholars (not only historians) who have not yet had any contact with the Digital Humanities, Silke Schwandt offers a motivating and vivid introduction to see the potential of this approach, using the analysis of word frequencies as an example. With the help of Voyant Tools and Nopaque, she provides her listeners with the necessary equipment to work quantitatively with their corpora. Schwandt’s presentation, to which the following report by Maschka Kunz, Isabella Stucky and Anna Ruh refers, can also be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJvbC3b1yPc.

Worthäufigkeiten machen Gesagtes wie auch Nichtgesagtes einer sprechenden und schreibenden Gesellschaft sichtbar und geben so Aufschluss über die Diskurse einer Zeit. Dies wird durch die interpretative Arbeit der Forschenden ermöglicht, welche den empirischen Befund der Worthäufigkeit in den Kontext weiteren Wissens einbetten.
