Verführung ist nicht Hypnose

In der letzten Zeit hatte ich in meinem privaten Umfeld ohne Bezug zu aktuellen Ereignissen immer wieder eine Debatte zu einem Thema, das mich seither nicht mehr loslässt. Konkret geht es um die Frage der "Verführung" besonders der Jugend im Dritten Reich. Wer 1933 um die 5-10 Jahre alt war, kann man dem tatsächlich einen Vorwurf machen, wenn er 1945 mit fanatischer Begeisterung in den Endkampf zieht und dazwischen ebenso begeistert in der Hitlerjugend mitgemacht hat? Viele Narrative sagen "nein" - von Filmen wie "Napola" zu Büchern wie "Die Welle". Die Grundidee ist immer dieselbe: die massive Propaganda, gepaart mit der attraktiven Mitgliedschaft in Organisationen wie der HJ, habe die Leute verführt - sie konnten sich praktisch gar nicht mehr eine eigene Meinung bilden, konnten nicht klar sagen, ob das was sie taten "richtig" war oder nicht, weil ihre Maßstäbe für "richtig" von den Nazis hemmungslos verschoben worden waren. Ich habe ziemliche Probleme mit dieser Story.

Call for Papers – DHQ Special Issue on “Digital Humanities & Film Studies: Analyzing the Modalities of Moving Images”

Die DHd AG Film und Video und Organisatoren des Anfang Mai stattgefunden Workshops “Computer-based Approaches for the Analysis of Film Style” möchten Sie gerne auf den unten in der Folge zum Workshop entstandenen öffentlichen Call for Papers aufmerksam machen:

Call for Papers – DHQ Special Issue on “Digital Humanities & Film Studies: Analyzing the Modalities of Moving Images”

Guest editors: Manuel Burghardt, Adelheid Heftberger, Johannes Pause, Niels-Oliver Walkowski & Matthias Zeppelzauer

Ever since Roberto Busa’s well-known Index Thomisticus, the Digital Humanities have had a strong focus on textual material. One reason for the “blind spot” when it comes to analyzing moving images, is the complex nature of film, which entangles different modalities across sound, vision and language. Furthermore, rights issues and lack of availability of (proper) sources still remain a problem for the analysis of large data sets, although audiovisual material becomes gradually more available due to digitization of analog elements and born digital film production.

Nonetheless, a shift toward a greater visibility of film and media studies in the Digital Humanities can be noticed. The planned special issue for Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ) on “Digital Humanities & Film Studies: Analyzing the Modalities of Moving Images” aims to revisit existing quantitative approaches for film analysis and to discuss the possible application of computational methods in this domain. In addition, the special issue aims to contribute to the growing awareness in the field by providing both methodological research as well as presenting case studies of existing (albeit scattered) initiatives and research projects.

Needed thing #3: An attractive Interface for browsing and reading Wikibase information

The Wikibase software has been designed to serve underneath the +200 Wikipedia installations, it is offering its services in SPARQL-queries but it does not aim at people interested in the facts collected on an item of knowledge.

Magnus Manske’s Reasonator is the tool which turns Wikidata information almost into articles – in any language. The page on Q13339, Johann Sebastian Bach is, as it turns out, in many ways superior to the 200+ competing Wikipedia articles on Bach: It has one sinle source to be edited by users world wide. It shows at a single view what it has to offer – you do not crawl through well balanced sentences, which might not at all offer the information you are looking for.

But the Reasonator has its fundamental drawbacks: Technically you are on a platform that uses Wikidata information – not on the global Wikidata interface. Practically and organisation-wise you are on extraterritorial space when it comes to future developments. The Reasonator is Magnus Manske’s dream child. It is not part of the package Wikimedia will develop as the universal Wikidata front-end (because any such front-end would immediately rival the 200+ Wikipedias?
