@article{broden-etal-2024-visualization-342786, title = {Visualization as Defamiliarization. Mixed Methods Approaches to Historical Book Reviews}, abstract = {This paper employs a dialectical mixed methods approach to revisit a previous study in comparative literature on discourses in literary criticism, using data visualizations to analyze the original material, 700 digitized literary book reviews from the years 1906, 1956, and 2006. The aim is to explore alternative ways of understanding the review material by comparatively examining visualizations on word and sentence levels, publication years, and genre categorizations. In the paper, we discuss significant patterns that emerge in the visualizations and how a combination of computational and interpretative analysis provides complementary perspectives on the text collection. Furthermore, drawing upon Russian formalist Viktor Shklovksy, we suggest the notion of “defamiliarization” as a conceptual framework for the process of looking at familiar research material anew through the lens of visualization, potentially uncovering previously overlooked aspects of the data. We conclude by stressing the critical importance of contextual sensibility for understanding the visualizations. }, journal = {Journal of Computational Literary Studies}, author = {Brodén, Daniel and Ingvarsson, Jonas and Samuelsson, Lina and Wåhlstrand Skärström, Victor}, year = {2024}, volume = {3}, number = {1}, pages = {1–26}, } @inProceedings{broden-etal-2024-samforfattande-335726, title = {Samförfattande som datadriven tvärvetenskap: Pragmatiska lärdomar från SweTerror-projektet }, abstract = {Terrorism i svensk politik (SweTerror) är ett storskaligt tvärvetenskapligt forskningsprojekt med forskare från såväl human- och samhällsvetenskaperna som datavetenskaperna.

Vi tar fasta på betydelsen av valet att koncentrera samarbetsformen kring konferenspapers inom specifikt digital humaniora och diskuterar erfarenheten av att samskrivande försvagar vetenskapligt revirtänkande, liksom ett iterativt förhållningssätt till forskningsdata kopplade till forskningsinfrastrukturer under uppbyggnad. Avslutningsvis betonar vi datadrivet samförfattande som en pragmatisk praktik för att stärka kollaborativt samarbete och kunskapsbryggor inom en tvärvetenskaplig forskargrupp.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Huminfra Conference (HiC 2024), 10-11 January, 2024, Gothenburg, Sweden}, author = {Brodén, Daniel and Fridlund, Mats and Olsson, Leif-Jöran and Ängsal, Magnus Pettersson and Öhberg, Patrik}, year = {2024}, publisher = {Linköping University Electronic Press}, address = {Linköping}, ISBN = {978-91-8075-512-2}, } @incollection{broden-etal-2024-who's-341908, title = {Who’s Afraid of Terrorism and Extremism?

This article addresses this lack by reflecting on a tension between conspicuous uses of computer colouring and hand-colouring. Furthermore, I discuss a hybridity that relativises distinctions between ‘digital’ and ‘traditional’ comic book art. Drawing upon the writings on media scholars Lev Manovich and D.N. Rodowick and examples from works associated with comics auteur Frank Miller, I argue that digital tools have augmented comics creation with new properties. Furthermore, I propose that these properties test our confidence in knowing what these images ‘are’ from an ontological perspective. The analysis is set against the backdrop of how thinking in terms of ‘digital’ versus ‘analogue’ has become secondary in a present post-digital moment. I conclude by suggesting that we need to move the discussion beyond the ‘newness’ of the digital to build a better understanding of the ontological uncertainties and the genealogies surrounding digitally created comic book imagery.}, journal = {Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics}, author = {Brodén, Daniel}, year = {2024}, } @inProceedings{angsal-etal-2024-terrorism-337182, title = {Terrorism som tolkningsram: en diskurssemantisk studie av svensk riksdagsdebatt 1993–2018}, booktitle = {Svenskans beskrivning}, author = {Ängsal, Magnus Pettersson and Brodén, Daniel and Fridlund, Mats and Olsson, Leif-Jöran and Öhberg, Patrik}, year = {2024}, publisher = {Örebro universitet}, address = {Örebro}, ISBN = {978-91-87789-91-5}, } @inProceedings{fridlund-etal-2024-humanistic-335724, title = {Humanistic AI: Towards a new field of interdisciplinary expertise and research}, abstract = {The Gothenburg Research Infrastructure in Digital Humanities (GRIDH) have participated in projects within various humanities fields that utilise as well as develop research tools and infrastructural resources that incorporate applications of ‘artificial intelligence’ (AI).

This paper conceptualizes the practice of what we tentatively call digitally-driven integrative interdisciplinary project design in order to highlight a certain professional practice for integrating collaboration between technical expertise and traditional HSS researchers when developing research project applications, digital resources, etc. We begin by highlighting the need for protocol for workflow- oriented approaches to integrative interdisciplinary collaboration, but also an embodied expertise in need of being put into focus in discussions of integrative workflows within digital humanities. Then, we argue that judgement is also a crucial but often overlooked part of the professionalism involved.
