Hosted by Freie Universität Berlin and the University of Potsdam, this five-day event will bring together researchers in computational literary studies, cultural analytics, and adjacent fields to present and discuss their research and corpus projects.

DraCor – short for Drama Corpora – is a digital ecosystem dedicated to the study of drama from antiquity to the 20th century. The multilingual community project follows the principles of open science. We currently maintain 28 drama corpora encoded in TEI with a total of over 4,000 annotated full texts of plays in 22 languages. It is the basis for a very vibrant research landscape around the computational research of drama corpora. Since the beginning of 2024 alone, more than 50 monographs and scientific articles have been published worldwide that work with DraCor data.

The DraCor Summit aims to provide an overview of the current state of an important field of computational literary studies and a space for the exchange of experiences. Various formats will be offered for this purpose, ranging from workshops, lectures, discussion rounds through to hackathon sessions.
