A public lecture by Todd Presner<\/strong>, Michael and Irene Ross Professor and Chair, Department of European Languages and Transcultural Studies, UCLA<\/p>\n

The Holocaust is one of the most documented \u2013 and now digitized \u2013 events in human history. Institutions and archives hold hundreds of thousands of hours of audio and video testimony, composed of over a billion words in dozens of languages, with millions of pieces of descriptive metadata. Engaging with these testimonies one at a time would take several lifetimes. Computational methods could be used to analyze an entire archive \u2013 but what are the ethical implications of \u201clistening\u201d to Holocaust testimonies by means of an algorithm? In\u00a0his new book<\/a>, Todd Presner explores how the digital humanities can provide both new insights and humanizing perspectives for Holocaust memory and history.<\/p>\n

This event is organized by USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research and cosponsored by USC Mellon Humanities in a Digital World.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n \n

Christopher J. Anderson<\/strong>, Texas State University
\n2024-2025 Margee and Douglas Greenberg Research Fellow<\/p>\n

With its unique combination of location, topography, history, and people, the Plateau Vivarais-Lignon region in south-central France was a statistically and culturally significant place of rescue during the Holocaust. In this talk, Christopher J. Anderson (PhD candidate in Geographic Information Science) will discuss what computational analysis of survivor testimony transcripts reveals about the emotional discourse surrounding different kinds of landscapes and the meaning of the Plateau for victims and rescuers. He will reflect on the successes, challenges, and potential of computational methods for Holocaust Studies and Digital Humanities.<\/p>\n

This event is co-sponsored by the USC Dornsife Center for Advanced Genocide Research, USC Mellon Humanities in a Digital World, and USC Francophone Research & Resource Center.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":160,"featured_media":0,"parent":192,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-512","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSpecial Events -
