  Prisons, Prisoners and Prison Records in Historical Perspective

  The rise of the prison as an institution of mass incarceration for offenders has for long fascinated researchers. In part, this is due to the unusually detailed nature of most prison records. The wide availability of somewhat similar sources across diverse European and European-derived societies provides criminologists, social and economic historians, demographers and other social scientists with rich collections of personal information that have been analysed intensively since the 1970s. The increasing power of software and hardware and the accumulation of very large quantities of prison data, some of it linked to other sources, offers challenges and opportunities for researchers today. The workshop responds to the challenge of harnessing criminal justice records by bringing together scholars in different disciplines and countries to share information about their sources, methodologies of classification and analysis, and to reconceptualize research paradigms.

  Methods and searching texts in the digital humanities

  Intensive training in computer assisted text analysis at the UQAM, summer 2018

  Avec la croissance exponentielle des documents textuels en format numérique, la recherche dans les sciences humaines nécessite de plus en plus de maitriser des méthodes computationnelles d’analyse de textes ainsi que plusieurs outils spécialisés. De nouvelles compétences méthodologiques sont devenues nécessaires autant pour des approches basées sur la fouille de texte que pour des approches qualitatives basées sur l’annotation. Lors de cette formation seront enseignées les bases nécessaires à l’analyse de corpus de textes numérisés, notamment le prétraitement des textes, ses modélisations computationnelles, l’analytique automatique, la visualisation des résultats et leurs interprétations.
