DIGITAL TEXT ANALYSIS WORKSHOP FOR CHINESE STUDIES
Do you want to know how to consult language and biographical dictionaries, maps, and other references sources all in one platform while reading Chinese texts on your computer? Do you want to learn how to mark up different kinds of information in Chinese texts? Do you want to learn how to create maps and other visualizations based on what you have found in your materials? You can learn how to do the above and hear how digital methods have been used in Chinese social, political, and medical history in the workshop “Digital Text Analysis for Chinese Studies.”
In the second part of the workshop Michael Stanley-Baker shows how questions such as how drugs travelled across medieval Chinese communities and how they were differently construed in different communities can be answered through a digital analysis of drug names, drug properties, geographic locations and persons in various genres of drug writing in medical, Daoist and Buddhist sources.
