BLOOMSBURY ACADEMIC NEW SERIES Book History for the Future SERIES EDITORS: Lisa Gitelman, New York University, USA Tom Mole, Durham University, UK Sarah Werner, Independent Researcher, USA Book History for the Future aims to define the cutting edge for a new generation of book historians, as book history enters a new chapter of its evolution. Books sit at a densely trafficked intersection of social relations, status negotiations, emotional investments, material possibilities, desires, aspirations, and dreams. They require an intellectual approach grounded in attention to physical artefacts and material conditions while also engaged in theoretical reflection, attentive to historical contexts while attuned to contemporary resonances. This series publishes books that eschew academic parochialism in favour of adventurous engagements with new theoretical developments, innovative methodologies, digital tools, and global contexts.

Exciting news, Bluesky! I’m editing a new book series for Bloomsbury with Tom Mole and Lisa Gitelman: Book History for the Future! Do you focus on material textual artifacts and innovative methodologies? We’re actively soliciting proposals, so give us a shout! www.bloomsbury.com/media/cecjzl...

I’m a literary scholar. I teach digital humanities. Last week, I wrote peer reviews for a sociology journal. Tomorrow, I’m headed to a book history conference. Another reason why the “spreadsheet men” framing is unhelpful is that it collapses distinct fields with distinct intellectual traditions.

This...

Attn: the special issue of SMR on Generative AI in Sociology is now online. The whole issue is fire, but the introduction by @thomasdavidson.bsky.social and Danny Karell is a must read, covering prompting, measurement, and simulations. It's a road map for soc sci research in the genAI era. +

Can Language Models Represent the Past without Anachronism? Before researchers can use language models to simulate the past, they need to understand the risk of anachronism. We find that prompting a contemporary model with examples of period prose does not pro...

New preprint from @lauraknelson.bsky.social, @mattwilkens.bsky.social, and myself tests different ways of simulating the past with LLMs. We don't fully answer the title question here—just show that simple strategies based on prompting and fine-tuning are insufficient. +

Invited by Shiraz University's Digital Humanities Association, I'll be presenting my work with @tedunderwood.me on classifying English poetry tomorrow at 8:30am US Central Time via Google Meet. Excited to be part of the growing global conversation on DH, including students and scholars from Iran!

The “Mapping German fiction in translation” dataset consists of 35,972 translated titles of fiction originally published in German between 1980-2020 by 6,457 authors in 86 languages." Check out the newest dataset published at JCA by Lisa Teichmann! 🤩 culturalanalytics.org/article/1280...

Maybe this one? It analyzes linguistic differences between direct and indirect translations in Finnish: akjournals.com/view/journal...
The topic also relates to my recent work using BERTopic to examine Chinese-English-Portuguese indirect translations: doi.org/10.1515/csh-...
