Chronicling crises: event detection in early modern chronicles from the Low Countries
No full textBetween the Middle Ages and the nineteenth century, many middle-class Europeans kept a handwritten chronicle, in which they reported on events they considered relevant. Discussed topics varied from records of price fluctuations to local politics, and from weather reports to remarkable gossip. What we do not know yet, is to what extent times of conflict and crises influenced the way in which people dealt with information. We have applied methods from information theory – dynamics in word usage and measures of relative entropy such as novelty and resonance – to a corpus of early modern chronicles from the Low Countries (1500–1820) to provide more insight in the way early modern people were coping with information during impactful events. We detect three peaks in the novelty signal, which coincide with times of political uncertainty in the Northern and Southern Netherlands. Topic distributions pro- vided by Top2Vec show that during these times, chroniclers tend to write more and more extensively about an increased variation of topics.Collective identities and transnational networks in medieval and early modern Europe, 1000-180

F.F. Bosworth's Advice to A.W. Tozer
No full textCopyright (c) 2018 by Roscoe Barnes III#FFBosworthI have argued for over a decade that F.F. Bosworth matters, and he matters in a significant way, especially in Pentecostal Church History. This article shows how Bosworth's influence extended to church leaders outside the Pentecostal tradition. Using Lyle Dorsett's book as a reference, it presents Bosworth's advice to a young A.W. Tozer, who would go on to become a famous author of deeper life books. Both men were members of the Christian and Missionary Alliance. Bosworth spoke to Tozer about the ministry of healing and speaking in tongues.NOTE: For more information on F.F. Bosworth, please visit: http://ffbosworth.strikingly.comFor a closer look at Bosworth's counsel to Tozer, see A Passion for God: The Spiritual Journey of A.W.

Information dynamics in Low Countries' chronicles (1500-1860): a computational approach
No full textThis dissertation is about the reception of information by non-experts in the early modern period. It studies the changing reputation of the various sources that were available between 1500 and 1860, and how people dealt with the constantly growing supply of information. It does so by assessing the impact of the burgeoning flow of information on the content of a corpus of over 200 early modern local chronicles from the Low Countries, using both quantitative and qualitative text analysis methods. The main historical question answered in this dissertation is: How do changes in the information landscapes of chroniclers from the Low Countries affect the content of chronicles? The two aspects of the chronicles that are studied in more detail are the sources chroniclers used and the topics they described. The other central question answered in this dissertation is a methodological one: To what extent are methods of computational text analysis helpful in getting a better understanding of the information landscapes of early modern chroniclers from the Low Countries?Europe 1000-1800: Collective Identities and Transnational Network
Popular song topics in the Dutch Republic: a data-driven study into topical fluctuations in the Dutch song database (1550-1750)
No full textThis article investigates popular topics and topical fluctuations in a diachronic corpus of 43,772 Dutch songs, all written between 1550 and 1750, contained within the Dutch Song Database. Computational methods such as topic modelling are used to analyse the relationship between topical changes and cultural-historical developments. Two cultural trends are used as case studies: the role of Petrarchism, and the articulation of a patriotic identity in early modern Dutch song culture. Furthermore, this data-driven approach reveals how subcategories can be defined within the existing but incomplete genre classification in the song collection. The results obtained contribute to a better understanding of the richness of the Dutch Song Database, and will facilitate the use of the song collection by future users.</p
