| Summary: | Over the last decades, the significant increase in digital resources has initiated research into the humanities and social sciences that is based on data, technology, and quantitative statistical methods. What all this research has in common is the concept of the digital humanities (hereinafter referred to as DH), which has even influenced the
classic and perhaps most common approach to knowledge in the humanities – reading. Extensive digitisation of manuscripts, books, magazines, and other texts into electronic corpora has created a need not only to rethink and redefine the concept of reading and its variations (especially in relation to close reading and distant reading), but also
to specify the methodology and possibilities of digital text analysis. This monographic edition of Slovenská literatúra aims to present digital literary research in the wider context of specific research programmes, projects, and infrastructures. This edition has been published with the support of the Slovak Academy of Sciences provided as part of the international scientific and technical cooperation project COST Action CA
16204: Distant Reading for European Literary History (1840 – 1920).
