Exploring North-South Identities Using NLP: The Image of Spain in the German Weekly Die Zeit
What can the new digital text corpora analysis tell us about history and public discourse? As language is an important source of metaphorical images and meanings, the recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) show that this is a useful tool to analyze social processes that are revealed in language production. Digital tools like DiaCollo enable us to extract information about socioeconomic situations in media datasets like newspapers, historical archives, political discourses and an unlimited number of publications; that is to say anything published or translated in text. This work develops the possibilities of using NLP in humanities using word collocation analysis to explore the image of Spain in the German weekly Die Zeit

Multiple–Layered Encoding as an Editorial and Pedagogical Strategy for Colonial Latin American Studies
This article considers a multiple–layered approach to the digital encoding of manuscript and rare print materials related to the colonial period in Latin America. I explain my adoption of this method, describe its technical implementation, and consider its benefits from editorial and pedagogical standpoints. By way of example, I examine the specific implementation of this model on three projects I have undertaken in collaboration with students at the University of North Florida. In preparing this study, I seek to contribute to emerging conversations about how we understand, practice and teach the ideas and methods that underlie the transmission today of written materials related to colonial Latin America, and more broadly, the Early Modern Iberian world. I aim, as well, to add to efforts to advance the presence of these fields within larger interdisciplinary conversations around editorial theory and practice in a digital age
