Clotho: Network Analysis and Distant Reading on the Perseus Latin Corpus

How do we handle Latin texts with digital tools? How do we apply to
Latin sources technologies and algorithms which have been developed for
the linguistic study of modern languages? Clotho is a resource which
aims to address these questions in an Open-Source format, providing
network analysis, data extraction mechanisms, and document statistics.
Using these tools, Lasciva Roma, a project of cultural network analysis
around the lexical field of terms related to sexuality, was launched in
2014. This seminar will explore and review this project, focusing on how
the community can use these tools, and how to ensure the tools and the
data will not be lost.

ALL WELCOME

The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.
