Scholars have provided various perspectives on how Europe historically perceived the Orient, such as Said (1978) with his ground-breaking work Orientalism, as well as Ballaster (2005) and Osterhammel (2018).

Voyant Tools is a popular website that offers a series of text analysis tools for examining word frequencies, patterns, and trends of a document. Although Voyant Tools supports analyzed documents in multiple languages, current tutorials and articles mainly focus on the application of Voyant Tools to English (Rockwell and Sinclair 2017).

In a previous post I briefly presented some of the richest and most commonly used online resources for Korean Studies. There I suggested that despite the plethora of premodern textual material that is freely available online, it remained to be seen what kind of digital humanities work scholars of Korea would be able to produce. Many factors […]
In Part 1 of this exercise we went over how you may import a digitized image, georeference it and record administrative boundary information contained in the map.
