Subject: Event: Wednesday, March 5: The Emergence of Literary Data Processing ca. 1960
“Autonomy and Automata: Objecthood, the Dramatic Monologue, and the Emergence of
Literary Data Processing”
Yohei Igarashi (Associate Professor of English, University of Connecticut)
with a response by Hana Maruyama (History, University of Connecticut)
Wednesday March 5, 2025, 3:30pm EST
Humanities Institute Conference Room (HBL 4-209)
We should understand better the histories of computing in humanities
disciplines. Focusing on literary studies, this talk offers an explanation of a
particular event: the emergence of a practice called “literary data processing”
around 1960, and the methodological revolution which—while projected from this
practice—did not quite happen. Working outward from the writing of the literary
scholar Stephen Parrish (1921–2012), this talk uncovers the questions that
exercised literary computing and literary criticism alike at this historical
moment, questions about humans, machines, language, and minds.
Yohei Igarashi is Associate Professor of English at the University of
Connecticut. He is the author of The Connected Condition: Romanticism and the
Dream of Communication (2020) and other writing, most recently a chapter on
literary data in the Cambridge Companion to Literature in a Digital Age (2024).
In 2023–2024, he was the Carl and Lily Pforzheimer Foundation Fellow at the
National Humanities Center.
Hana Maruyama is an assistant professor in history and social and critical
inquiry at the University of Connecticut. Her current manuscript discusses how
the federal government exploited Japanese Americans’ World War II incarceration
to dispossess American Indians and Alaska Natives and advance U.S. settler
colonialism.
The event will also be livestreamed with automated captioning.
