ENGL 495 – INTERNSHIP IN DIGITAL HUMANITIES -- "DH PRACTICUM" Time Days Sec Faculty Class# 1200-0300p W 001 Jewel, A This course provides students with real, in-depth experience in collaboratively creating digital humanities projects. Guided by faculty with expertise in a broad range of digital humanities methods and resources, students work in teams to tackle challenges proposed by UNL researchers and/or local and regional humanities organizations. The weekly class meeting is designed as a lab for team work, for learning new technical and research skills, and for pursuing strategies to solve humanities problems in the digital age. Though some technical and research experience is useful, this challenging class accommodates students from a wide range of backgrounds and with varied skills. This practicum course is an opportunity to develop significant experience in how universities, libraries, museums, archives, publishers, nonprofits, and others are using digital methods to pursue their humanities missions. ENGL 498 - SP TOPICS: ENGLISH -- Time Days Sec Faculty Class# 1100-1215p TR 002 Jockers, M 4799 0200-0315p TR 003 Garelick, R 4665 0930-1045 TR 005 Dooling, R 23595 Jockers, M – 002 "Macroanalysis" 28 – UNL DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH, SPRING 2014
Aim: Digital texts and digital libraries offer us new opportunities for searching and accessing literary material. More interesting and exciting than the mere searching of digital texts is the ability to leverage computation in order to process and analyze textual data, to provide new methods for reading, analyzing, and understanding literature. Throughout this course we will investigate ways of reading, interpreting, and understanding literature at the macroscale, as an aggregate system. Our "text" for the class will be a corpus of several thousand British and American novels. We will consider theoretical issues, read and discuss landmark essays in the field, and develop an understanding of how digital libraries and literary corpora are inviting new types of literary research and challenging some of our conventional approaches. Much of the course will revolve around the construction and execution of a collaborative research project. Students will collectively form a research question and design and implement an approach to investigate the problem. Aim: Teaching Method: Requirements: Tentative Reading List: Garelick, R – 003 “Great Collaborations of the American Stage” Dooling, R – 005 “The Legal and Business Aspects of Creative Activity” Aim : This course will provide theoretical and practical resources for undergraduate and graduate students who want to build a career based on creative activity. The course will introduce students to the basic legal and business principles governing creative endeavors, including: “pitching'” and protecting ideas, securing representation (lawyers, agents, managers), basic principles of contract, copyright, and intellectual property laws, clearing and licensing rights, and how not to get sued or taken advantage of while creating, borrowing, and collaborating with other artists and entrepreneurs. The goal is to teach artists and entrepreneurs how to protect themselves and their projects and ideas, until success provides the wherewithal to secure professional representation from agents, lawyers, managers, investors, and business partners. As such, the course should also appeal to students who may be interested in careers as talent representatives, producers, or investors in the arts.
