Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to the DraCor Summit in Berlin from 1 to 4
September 2025. This four-day event will bring together researchers in
computational literary studies, cultural analytics, and related fields
to present and discuss their research and corpus projects.

DraCor(https://dracor.org/) – short for Drama Corpora – is a digital 
ecosystem dedicated to the study of drama from Greco-Roman antiquity 
to the 20th century. The multilingual community project follows the 
principles of open science. We currently maintain 28 TEI-encoded 
drama corpora with a total of over 4,000 annotated full
texts of plays in 22 languages. It is the basis for a very vibrant
research landscape around the computational research of drama corpora.
Since the beginning of 2024, some 50 monographs and scholarly articles
have been published worldwide that work with DraCor data (see
https://dracor.org/doc/research).

The DraCor Summit aims to provide an overview of the current state of
this important field of computational literary studies and a space for
the exchange of experiences. Various formats will be offered for this
purpose, ranging from workshops and lectures to discussion rounds and a
barcamp.

There will be a dedicated DraCor Corpora Conference featuring
presentations on the achievements and challenges of building and
maintaining individual corpora. Current and prospective corpus
maintainers are invited to report on their work. There will also be a
Computational Drama Analysis Workshop, focusing on latest advances in
computational and quantitative methods for the study of drama.

For both the Corpora Conference and the Computational Drama Analysis
Workshop we issued two separate Calls for Papers. Submissions are due
by 6 May 2025. General registration for the DraCor Summit will open in
due time.
