Explanatory Annotation A Research Project in Digital Literary Annotation

On Annotation

As a key scholarly activity, annotation seems to have transitioned seamlessly from print to digital. In the process, it has lost many of the shackles of the print medium: limitations of length or of a single perspective and perceived authority, are no longer an issue. Embracing a multi-faceted annotation approach brings its own challenges, however, it forces the editor to think systematically about the form, purpose, and audience of his annotations, and how he can facilitate, mediate, and communicate the process.

TEASys at the Tübinger Fenster für Forschung

By Sandra Wetzel / 27. May 2019

On May 24, 2019, our PhD students Leonie Kirchhoff and Miriam Lahrsow, as well as our student mentors Natalia Christoforou, Lara Täuber, and Sontje Schulenburg, represented our project at the Tübinger Fenster für Forschung (TÜFFF). The TÜFFF is a bi-yearly event which gives university projects the opportunity to present their work to the public.

The TEASys team gave a poster presentation, showcased the TEASys viewer, and helped children write their own annotations.
