Clearly @yglb.bsky.social continued her work on genre because "Fiction" and "Non-fiction" have been split into subgenres on this graph from her blog post with @kslaing.bsky.social "Rosa Mulholland, Digital Renaissance and Digital Humanities in Trier, Germany". #RSVP2026

Anton Kirchhofer didn't realize he was moving through his slides on his own laptop—not on the computer connected to the screen. We didn't see his slides until he mentioned John Gast's painting "American Progress" w/ the allegorical representation of Manifest Destiny & we weren't seeing it. #RSVP2025

"American Progress", John Gast, 1872, oil on canvas, 29.2 cm x 40 cm

'This painting shows Manifest Destiny, the belief in westward expansion of the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. It was widely distributed as an engraving called "Spirit of the Frontier". Settlers are moving west, guided and protected by Columbia, aided by modern technology like railroads, and driving Native Americans and bison into obscurity. Columbia represents America, dressed in a Roman toga to represent classical republicanism, and brings the enlightened east to the darkened west.'

Anne-Marie Millim s'inspire des travaux de B. Venkat Mani dans *Recoding World Literature* (2017), qui n'ont pas été traduits—on pourrait dire *Ré-encoder la littérature mondiale*? Elle a trouvé dans son analyse des extraits de recensions différentes approches en matière de traduction. #RSVP2026

Pour conclure, @caroloran.bsky.social étudie la «numérimorphose» des revues québécoises, tant savantes et culturelles que les magazines (dont elle ne parle pas aujourd'hui). Le concept vient de Fabien Granjon et @clementcombes.bsky.social, mais Caroline l'emprunte à Séverine Equoy Hutin. #Médias19

La conclusion de @macharlier.bsky.social au sujet de la «marque Zola» est que le romancier est devenu un architexte culturel suffisamment stabilisé pour être utilisé simplement de manière esthétique, comme dans Zola Média, un balado sur les boissons ⁉️ 🤷‍♀️ #Médias19

Started playing around today with LERA, a collation tool developed at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. It's very promising! Thanks to @poeckelmann.bsky.social for setting up the instance so quickly! lera.uzi.uni-halle.de #DH #TextualScholarship #BookHistory #ScholarlyEditing

"Highlighting of text variants: The working environment determines the differences between two matched segments and highlights them using the following color scheme: green for insertions, blue for substitutions and red for deletions. Additionally, the corresponding text sections in the remaining versions are being highlighted in grey. Through the use of a variety of filter- and color-settings, the user can tailor the text comparison to his own liking, e.g. hiding all changes that purely concern punctuation."

I did have more of a chance to browse Utrecht's book stores this summer after my Dutch-language state exams 😃 This is Paper Moon...

I sadly didn't have much time this time in Utrecht: needed to get back to Nijmegen for my neighbour's PhD defense... But Sophie did invite me for lunch at Bakkerswinkel, which I realized @renskehoff.bsky.social had previously brought me to!

a nice interpretational nugget in the Q&A! The protagonist is a clerk who has just lost his job. Wondering why the beetle appears to him as an old man instead of a hot woman (as it did in other cases), Andrew posits that what he wanted most that anything at that point was... a boss. #RSVP2025

Senora Blanco is talking about how pieces in *Household Words* informed Wilkie Collins's representation of female madness and spectrality in *The Woman in White*. I find this quotation from Emily Jolly's *A Wife's Story*, serialized 1-22 September 1855, very poignant... #RSVP2025 #BookHistory

"For a long time they thought me dying, thought my brain was dead already."

The first section of Klaudia Lee's talk proposes to view periodicals as infrastructure. Yes! I missed the first reference for cultural infrastructure, but the second was Lauren Berlant's *On the Inconvenience of Other People* The mediation of infrastructure reveals unstable connections. #RSVP2025

Looking forward to seeing my @rs4vp.bsky.social peeps at #RSVP25 in Chicago in July! I'll be talking about electoral cartograms, those "maps" that visualize election results w/ each constituency being the same size. Thought it was a 21c #dataviz invention, but no! Turns up in Victorian newspapers!
