Literary Lab

Thanks so much, @bazaaritalia, for featuring our work!

In STAR TEXTS, @cilindem1 mines a corpus of @Harpers and @voguemagazine to study the history of American celebrity, advertisements, and the star system. twitter.com/literarylab/st…

We're so thrilled to see this write-up of @cilindem1's amazing STAR TEXTS project in @Harpers Italy: harpersbazaar.com/it/cultura/cin…

Several Lab members have begun working on the language of coronavirus news, the personification of germs, and literature about confinement/solitude. See @mattygw on Techne for the preliminary write-up: litlab.stanford.edu/writing-about-…

Thrilled to welcome @dbamman to the Lit Lab this morning! Bamman is presenting, “Modeling the Spread of Information within Novels.”

This morning, we’re talking TRANSLATION, a new project by @jdporterlive, @quinnanya, and Yuliya Ilchuk.

Thrilled to welcome Marit MacArthur, Chris Grobe, and Lee Miller to the Lit Lab, presenting their project TALKING LIKE A ROBOT.

Still thinking about last night’s Oscars? Check out recent work from the Lit Lab’s own Charlotte Lindemann on advertisements, gender, and the making of celebrity: STAR TEXTS LitLab.stanford.edu/Star-texts/

Check out Star Texts, by @cilindem1! On advertisements, gender, and the making of #celebrity!

Not discussed, but relevant! Gerwig’s snub, Brad Pitt’s shirtlessness, Queen Jane Fonda.

Lindemann text mines Harper’s and Vogue from our Women’s Magazine corpus in a project drawing on film studies and visual/material culture.

And, rounding out the day, Lab Director @Mark_A_H presents “Conjunctions of Knowledge”.

Next up, @LBMcGrath, our Associate Director, is pitching “The Immaturity of Contemporary Literature.”

It’s Lab Day, our favorite tradition of the year! The room may not be impressive, but the thinkers gathered here certainly are. (So are the snacks.)
