Digital Humanities Centre at Linnaeus University invites you to a webinar by an alumnus of its Digital Humanities Master program:

Title: Catastrophe and Continuity: In German Academic Philosophy Under National Socialism
Speaker: Gregor Große-Bölting
When: 6 November, 13.15-14.00
Zoom: https://lnkd.in/d8nr6QaH

Abstract
German philosophy during the Weimar Republic may have produced some of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century: philosophical schools of thought such as logical empiricism, the Warburg-Cassirer circle, the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, Freiburg phenomenology and, in a broader sense, Gestalt psychology have shaped the thinking and work of the humanities in the last century and continue to exert a significant influence. This period of productivity ended abruptly with the N***s' seizure of power in 1933.
In my presentation I will report on the creation of a Linked Open Data collection of philosophy professors who worked at German universities between 1933 and 1945. It is based on existing research by George Leaman (1993), Christian Tilitzki (2002), and Michael Grüttner (2021, 2023, 2024) and contains, in addition to basic information, references to other linked data repositories, event data, and information on memberships in N**i organizations and the effects of the application of the BBG. The resulting dataset of 215 philosophers is FAIRly published and openly available via a website, which can be filtered and freely searched using a SPARQL interface. Furthermore, the data was analyzed exploratively using a variety of digital methods: In addition to a prosopographic analysis to identify similarities and differences within the collection – primarily based on memberships and categories of discrimination – links to the German National Library's GND Explore service were used to analyze 1,280 titles of works written by the philosophers. The per-professor-event data and the contained links to DBpedia provide GIS information for geoanalysis, which can be used to trace the routes of philosophers who fled Germany. The analysis was conducted against the backdrop of Siegfried Kracauer's (2009) philosophy of history and Pierre Bourdieu's (2020) social history of philosophy, as well as an elaborate understanding of exile, developed on the basis of the writings of Hannah Arendt (2023, 2024), Judith N. Shklar (2019), Giorgio Agamben (2012, 2020), and others.

Bio
Gregor Große-Bölting is a researcher in computer science education and works as a software developer on the project “Runic writing in the Germanic languages (RuneS)” (runesdb.de). He has a background in computer science and philosophy and enjoys interdisciplinary work.

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the BALADRIA Summer School in Digital Humanities 2025, taking place in Zadar from June 23rd to June 27th, 2025.

The BALADRIA Summer School is intended for doctoral students and professionals working in heritage, cultural, and academic institutions. Its purpose is to equip participants with knowledge and expertise in digital methods and tools specifically within the field of digital humanities.

The program includes a mix of lectures and hands-on workshops that cover a variety of digital research methods in the humanities. Topics will include data organization, manipulation, cleaning, and mining, along with data visualization, text and corpus analysis, concordances, XML, scientific text markup, network analysis, crowdsourcing, programming for the humanities, image processing and analysis, and artificial intelligence.

Participants will engage in collaborative workshops, lectures, and supervised group work. They will be grouped according to their interests, with each group led by an instructor responsible for designing and executing a specific project. The completed projects will be presented to all participants at the end of the summer school.

Several former participants have continued to pursue these projects or related subjects and have delivered presentations at international conferences in the field of digital humanities. Many of them have maintained communication and fostered relationships long after the conclusion of the BALADRIA Summer School.
