The opening keynote for the 2019 DH Slavic Summer School is Stanford’s Glen Worthey, “Speaking Figuratively: What Does Text Have To Do With Image?” The talk will take place on Tuesday Sept. 3, 2019 at 4:30pm, Julis Romo Rabinowitz Building, 399.
What is the relationship between “image” and “text”? Are they utterly distinct data types, or are they rather ranges on a continuum? Or are they the same, but only differently-scaled?
This talk will be a personal essay of sorts, putting a digital humanities spin on a hodgepodge of diverse examples — from the Russian baroque to Pushkin to early Soviet picture books; from OCR to AI. These are intended not as a showcase of successes, but rather a cabinet of my own curiosities, into which I invite you for further exploration and speculation.
Glen Worthey has been Digital Humanities Librarian at Stanford since 1997, and was founding head of Stanford’s Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Research (CIDR). He’s held many roles in the international DH community, most recently co-chair of the DH2018 conference in Mexico City. His graduate work (ABD) was in Russian children’s literature at the University of California, Berkeley.
