AHhhhh i feel guilty of this, too, sometimes

This is a good point that requires more statistical knowledge than literary knowledge, in my opinion. Points to the divide between literary experts using data science vs. data scientists applying methods to literature

I noticed this a lot, too, in trying to find a research niche in this field. There seems to be a theoretical wall blocking the combination of digital methods and literature-- with exploratory descriptive analyses filled with hope being most of what I've seen published and circulated

I see this a lot in amateur artists as well-- a focus on escapism. I think, as a generation, this is also representative of the escapism we romanticize in navigating adult life and late-stage capitalism

Reminds me of the structuralists. I think it is interesting how we are progressively surrendering the limits to what we can know to be "truth"

I agree with this thesis, art interpretation is a social addition-- not a necessity. In changing this for myself, it has allowed me learn more from art from outside of my knowledge bubble. I can imagine, especially with literature, this would change the speed and the longevity with which we consume art

This makes me think of intergenerational trauma. Like we are passed down these theories which still have trauma embedded in them, and it is up to future generations to face that and create theories which do not perpetuate that which we are fighting

I think about this a lot. Especially with how emotionally draining it is to react to every hate-filled incident in America

I really like this. I feel like it makes these types of analyses more accessible-- and these methods feel more artsy, like how a painting can be appreciated for its visual qualities without necessarily needing social context to get its point across

Growing up during this time, I didn't notice how big the implications of these events were. This was an important key in connecting the past to the present for me

This whole time, we are only really hearing of her actions in past tense. We haven't experienced much of her day with her, only observed her

i definitely feel like this is more than just talking about her appearance. Not sure what this means yet, though

in reading folks comments at the end about how this was Polly's plan all along, I wonder why she was crying

I think the reference back to Mrs. Mooney handling the situation like a butcher is reflective of how Mrs. Mooney has to play both the role of father and mother for her children. This is especially felt in this scenario

I think Hannah mentioned above how Joyce introduces characters and emotional situations in a similar way to Mansfield's. I think this is a great example of that

Cool image that this creates of a present and future tense

I wonder if this is a reference to something else, as women still face a lot of danger walking home alone at night

In acknowledgement to the other comment as well, I believe that we are supposed to have this double take as readers. I feel like it was intentional because street lights themselves bring up certain feelings, and this is in heavy contrast to the darkness of which stained the past few sentences

There's a lot of linguistic context packed into this word about eating chocolate. Still going by stream of consciousness, this seems representative of Joyce's reading habits, that this is a word that comes up naturally for him and he does not change it for the sake of imbuing meaning.

What bigotry from father butler

another awesome example of stream of consciousness grammar (what can i say, i have a type). I love how this is all one sentence strung together by punctuation, but if you don't think it about it too much, it works precisely

I love how many pauses this sentence took. If i remember correctly, Joyce was influential in the 'stream of consciousness' literary movement, and these parentheses and colons speak towards that

Crazy how criticisms of the nuclear, capitalist family dates as far back as this

I wonder why this was proclaimed twice

After learning more about the story, in response to linsey and yvonne's comments, it's interesting to see how this isolation and sheltered upbringing are not made in the story the same way we assumed. I assume that we were thinking strict parents or living in the middle of nowhere, but really Leila is just from the country and that's normal. With that in mind, it is interesting how this class distinction is pronounced.

what a beautiful way to say this

I wonder who this narrator is, as he seems to be in love with Isabel? Or feel some type of way towards her

This provides so much ambiguity behind the idea of the "Royal Academy"

interesting, the young narrator empathizing with the daughter follows the general subtext, but it is contrary to what we would expect solely looking at the actions found in those small moments.

This distinction between the toxic behavior of Mrs. Raddick's daughter and the narrator's viewpoint of Mrs. Raddick's daughter. Though the narrator's viewpoint is mostly focused on her beauty.

This just rings of Seargent Cuff's professional attitude in this situation

Interesting how one UI feature could offer so much insight

Whoa this is really cool. And kind of goes hand in hand with the Gerbaudo reading about reconstructing major themes in social networks

nice

It is cool to see direct connections to academic works and our projects.

I think this idea of reconstruction is very cool in this context. Not only are we extracting large-scale trends, but we are recreating them as we are exploring them.

If this is the case, then is the value of our scientific discoveries really only relevant to specific persons?

Most of my training is in sociology, so this is where my brain automatically goes to. It is interesting to see how this point is refuted, because I've never heard this argument before

interesting way to put it

I think it is moments like these that distant reading would miss. Like how the sentence runs on and how this speaker is speaking to us about opening both eyes.

what a great place to add a stutter, it really adds to Mrs. Sheridan's role as a leader but in a "she's still human" kind of way

I like the way details are introduced in this story so far

Wow, what a way to start a story!

Cool idea to use k-means for categorizing biases

Definitely going to use this for analysis on my own reddit dataset.

interesting, but unsure how to translate to code

How interesting. I see this translated, in a reverse way, in Filipinx culture with Filipinx Americans wanting to be Hawaiian because it is closer to being Pacific Islander.

This concept is known by other names when looking at colonization in other third world countries. It is cool to see how they all tie together

i wonder if this statement has the same connotation as the following phrase

such dramatic vocabulary

I wonder what value this phrase carried back then

sad face for word choice :/

A businessman who escapes his sadness through working, how relatable

This is questionable. The disappearance of women leads organically to discussion of politics? Says a lot about the narrator

Mr. Murthwaite sounds super cool so far. I want to be him. Aside from like the colonialist/imperialist undertones, obviously.

Mr. Bruff sounds very sophisticated, but in knowing so, he also acts overconfident. This is shown in how often he speaks about himself, and how he points to the neatness of his actions.

Interesting point to lay out intentions of which to elaborate on first. This is definitely in Mr. Bruff's style

More confirmation that Miss Clack is a very passionate speaker.

It seems that Miss Clack uses more emotions and sarcasm to convey her stories, which could be helpful in doing computational text analysis.

Again, Mr. Franklin interrupts his phrase with these interjections. As he did above with the police. This could be an interesting point for computational literary analysis.

This is a very interesting way to interrupt speech. It feels very much like talking, but I"m sure each character has their own. Attests Mr. Franklin's way of retelling a story

In the context of Digital Humanities, I definitely feel like this is a place where context is important in interpretation. To be honest, from the conditioning of the American cultural system, it's hard for me to disassociate the term "Indian" from Native American because of how often it is used in that context in the materials I read. Yet, here, knowing Britain's relationship to India, this certainly is referring to South Asian folks. Interesting, for me, how DH is so much more than knowing digital methods

I wonder how this was perceived in 1868. Like is this satire? Is this just supposed to tell us about Betteridge or everyone?

i wonder-- no i bet-- if this was a play on words. Interesting, i wonder if this type of humor was hip back then, too

This is an interesting way to describe the passage of time, and this feels like a very age-old way to. Almost like the montages that show time passage in movies. Interesting how this style might've inspired that, and how the passage of time will be stylized and communicated in the future! Maybe we can examine this with DH someday

I think this was a cool way to introduce the major plot points of the story and like the questions that need to be resolved before continuing into the story itself

I think this makes the most sense with what I have experienced in my community organizations.

it's crazy how universal these computers are now, and how cultural power imbalances reach so deep.

Maybe, the growing IoT will create more of a shared horizon for us to expand upon?

hmm, very cool

Whoa, I never thought about this before. In my own interpretation, it's like that works of art exist in the way they relate to the observer's personal world and how it brings them out of it.

I think this is a great way to center ourselves in that we are really working with Truth's we've created-- in the sense that what we have found and what view what we have found can't be separated from bias.

I believe re-enforcement is the best way to include mixed methods. With this in mind, digital humanities should not be pursued with the idea of transitioning wholely to quantitative methods, but rather as growing one side of a complete methodology.

This study really highlights the practical aspects of digital methods for making cultural or theoretical claims.

In this way, i can see how language evolves in in parallel to thought and morals

This was definitely a sentence i had to read multiple times, but upcoming questions going into this reading includes: why might we want to limit the play of the structure? And how do varying degrees of limitation change language

this was a nice compare and contrast

It is cool how literary theory still extends this far into communication of ideas. If I remember correctly, I think this is reminiscent of structuralist literary thought

whoa, this is interesting. A myth can only have been passed down because it represents a commonality

I think this is interesting. This kind of points to an objective truth which can be proven by a physical sense, and a more humanistic truth which is created through social usage

Before i mostly thought of this as a hegemony thing, but now it's crazy to see that a problem is how vast literature is

Crazy how this is such a common thing when most people feel guilty for not reading anymore

Definitely feeling this one

A mighty task

I like how often we encounter the same main points of literary history. It makes it easier to remember

This chapter really helped open my mind from "can digital methods do what they're supposed to do" to "how can digital methods provide us new ways of looking at something"

These are big questions. I never even thought of how, with an almost infinite amount of writers, our sample could still be unrepresentative-- regardless of size

I really like this, that there's like a doing stage and an reflection stage and they're separate.

I think this is really important. Really emphasizes the importance of communicating the idea for the reader rather than for the writer
