Close & distant reading

Close reading

Focus on the interpretation of few, individual documents.

+

Distant reading

Exploring the great unread: unveiling and analysing repeated patterns, hidden connections, trends, themes and parallels in large quantity of texts.

=

AVOBMAT

The combination of close and distant reading.

Big data in the humanities

Big (meta)data and texts are dirty, noisy, situated and relational. 
They reflect the biases and assumptions of their creators and the power structures involved.
That’s why they should be cleaned, contextualized and critically interpreted with appropriate methods and tools, bearing in mind the strengths and limitations of the latter.
