Can we measure 'literariness' in texts themselves? The innovative Computational Humanities project The Riddle of Literary Quality asked thousands of Dutch readers for their opinion about contemporary Dutch and translated novels. The public shared which novels they had read, what they really thought of them, and how they judged their quality. Their judgments of the same novels were compared with the results of computational analysis of the books. Using evidence from almost 14,000 readers and building on more textual data than ever before, Van Dalen-Oskam and her team uncovered unconscious biases that shed new light on prejudices many people assumed no longer existed. This monograph explains in an accessible way how the project unfolded, which methods were used, and how the results may change the future of Literary Studies. 606 $aCriticism$xData processing 606 $aDigital humanities$xData processing 606 $aDutch literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aText data mining$zNetherlands 606 $aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Writing / Fiction Writing$2bisacsh 610 $aComputational Literary Studies, Literary fiction, Bestsellers, Bias, Readability. 615 0$aCriticism$xData processing. 615 0$aDigital humanities$xData processing. 615 0$aDutch literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aText data mining 615 7$aLANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Writing / Fiction Writing. 676 $a801.950285 700 $avan Dalen-Oskam$b Karina$01429664 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910729893703321 996 $aThe Riddle of Literary Quality$93568852 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04075nam 2200757 a 450 001 9910824817003321 005 20240516182451.0 010 $a1-280-77276-X 010 $a9786613683533 010 $a90-04-22995-7 035 $a(CKB)2670000000193816 035 $a(EBL)944159 035 $a(OCoLC)796383681 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000678183 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11404875 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000678183 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10699829 035 $a(PQKB)11250979 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC944159 035 $a(nllekb)BRILL9789004229952 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL944159 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10571030 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL368353 035 $z(PPN)174548486 035 $a(PPN)170757056 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000193816 100 $a20120329d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLiberal bourgeois Protestantism$b[electronic resource] $ethe metaphysics of globalization /$fby Paul C.

Globalization, bourgeois Protestantism and Africans in America -- pt. 2. Hybrid identities in globalization. 330 $aSociological theory regarding the contemporary (1970's to the present) phenomenon of globalization focuses either on convergence or hybridization. The former, convergence, highlights the ever-increasing homogenization of cultures and societies around the globe via socioeconomic rational forces. From this perspective globalization is tantamount to Westernization or Americanization of other cultures and societies via neoliberal economic, market, subjugation. The latter, hybridization, emphasizes heterogeneity, the mixture of cultural forms out of the integration of society via globalizing processes stemming from improvements in information technology, communications, mass media, et cetera In this latter form, cultures and societies are not homogenized, but are cultural forms that are syncretized with liberal democratic Western capitalist rational organization. In this work, Mocombe synthesizes the two positions by suggesting that globalization under American hegemony are the same process, convergence, and that the only alternative to this thesis of convergence is Samuel P. Huntington?s (1996) differential hypothesis in which a clash of civilization are the result of eight intransigent cultural frameworks?Sinic, Japan, Hindu, Islamic, Orthodox, Western Europe, North America, and Africa?that dominate the globe. Refutating Huntington?s thesis, Mocombe suggests there are really only two opposing counter-hegemonic forces to the convergence towards Westernization or Americanization: the earth itself and Islamic Fundamentalist movements. 410 0$aStudies in critical social sciences ;$vv. 41. 606 $aGlobalization$xSocial aspects$xPhilosophy 606 $aCultural fusion$zUnited States 606 $aCapitalism$xSocial aspects 606 $aAmericanization 606 $aAfrican Americans$xCultural assimilation 606 $aProtestant work ethic$zUnited States 606 $aHegemony$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aGlobalization$xSocial aspects$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCultural fusion 615 0$aCapitalism$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAmericanization. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aProtestant work ethic 615 0$aHegemony$xSocial aspects 676 $a303.48/2 700 $aMocombe$b Paul C$0879939 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824817003321 996 $aLiberal bourgeois Protestantism$94110336 997 $aUNINA
