  1. Awesome! Our new paper in #DHQ has been published!

    It discusses three measures of #keyness (or #distinctiveness) when applied to #subgenres of the #French #novel.

    The twist is that we perform a #qualitative #evaluation of the measures by relating each list of keywords to a set of characteristics of each subgenre built from reading scholarly publications on the subgenres.

    Bottom line: choosing a measure makes a huge difference!

  2. I've finished: Scythe by Neal Shusterman

    It was recommended as part of a Story Graph reading challenge under the prompt:

    " 20. Dystopian Deconstruction (1 added)

    Critiques the overused conventions of YA dystopias".

    I found it to be a very conventional YA dystopia novel.

    I see these prompts a a learning opportunity. If you've read Scythe and can enlighten me as to why it would be considered a diconstruction of YA dystopian conventions, I'd love to hear it. If you agree that it is not a diconstructi9on, can you recommend another novel for this prompt?

    Mind you, in this reading challenge Anti YA is an adjacent prompt.

    " 19. Anti-YA (2 added)

    Challenges traditional YA tropes like the chosen one or insta-love."

    I think this discussion will contain spoilers. So it will be continued in the next message with a content warning.

  7. In recent years, I've experimented with many #new (to me) #authors, #subgenres, etc. Some examples follow.

    While not all of these were slam dunks for me, I did find them #interesting and #worthwhile #reading #experiences that I often #recommend to #readers. #GiveThemATry!
