Description

As the Radical Thoughts Podcast is no longer active, I am making these old bonus episodes from Patreon publicly available so that listeners don't have to pay for an inactive podcast. - Patrick




In this bonus episode, Andrew and Patrick sit down to read through some of Franco Moretti's recent work on "Distant Reading" (and one additional essay by Ted Underwood). Does this approach constitute a whole new framework for cultural sociology? Or is it mostly a disparate set of statistical methods? What are the "cabbages of literature"? Find out as we discuss:




"Hidden in Plain Sight" - Moretti & Sobchuk


"Operationalizing" - Moretti

"The Roads to Rome: Literary Studies, Hermeneutics, Quantification" - Moretti


"A Genealogy of Distant Reading" - Underwood
