The Digital and the Humanities
Fabian Schwabe (Tübingen)
(Workshop, 8th November 2017)
Dr. Schwabe's scholarly interests are in the fields of Old Norse philology, manuscript culture, (digital) scholarly editions and the Scandinavian Middle Ages. In his dissertation, he analyzed the language of an Icelandic saga manuscript from the 14th century. Due to his job as a teacher in Digital Humanities, his interests became combined with digital methods as data modeling, and the use of markup languages and web technologies. In his recent projects, he unites his interests and teaching responsibility. The results are mainly between research and education like interactive maps, editions, and the blending of both.
