Panel Discussion: Comparing, Hermeneutics, and the Data Paradigm

At the panel discussion, four experts from different disciplines will discuss forms and functions of comparing. Based on observations at the conference, special interest will be on the methods used for analysis and on the materiality of comparing. Bringing these observations together, Dr. Britta Hochkirchen (Art History), Prof. Dr. Kirsten Kramer (Romance and Comparative Literary Studies), Dr. Elisa Ronzheimer (German Literary Studies), and Prof. Dr. Silke Schwandt (Digital History) will address the ‘analoge’ und ‘digital’ approaches juxtaposed at our conference. Are there tensions? Complementarity? How can we sense for joint research on practices of comparing?
