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!

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.

It has been great to be attending the #workshop on "digital genre hermeneutics" organized by @julianschroeter (Munich) and @u_henny (Rostock) at #LMU Munich over the last two days!
I was too busy to post anything, but it was a blast! Thanks to all presenters.Such a focus on one topic is just great. And Julia and me had fun presenting our work on #keyness and #subgenres.
To find out what we talked a bout, just have a look at the programme here (in German): https://www.germanistik.uni-muenchen.de/personal/ndl/professoren/schroeter/workshop_gattungsherm/index.html

Quick post on how an old #dataset from #topic modeling of #French plays taught me something about topics in French plays, but also about the (sometimes) unity of teaching and research...: https://dragonfly.hypotheses.org/1529

Ever heard of Pirate Metal or Shoegaze? A new #paper out now in #frontiersinpsychology by Anne Siebrasse and @M_WaldFuhrmann shows that personal #musicaltaste is not adequately described by #genres but #subgenres make the difference.

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!

--Re: #speculativefiction, I enjoy various #subgenres of #sciencefiction & #fantasy but #hardscifi, #cyberpunk, #spaceopera, & #epicfantasy are among my faves. My love of the latter goes well beyond the usual proto-medieval #highfantasy #worldbuilding.
--As for what I write, one of my #WIPs is a space opera w/some hard sci-fi & #timetravel elements. Another #WIP is a #darkfantasy (dark #epicfantasy bordering on #grimdark, to be more precise). As of 2017, I began #writing #horror.🤣 -
