Sign up for your presentation on your class tab. Add your names and slides link. Keep existing sign-ups.
Choose one topic per group in each class. Read the essay or explore the websites together, then build your presentation in class.
Eight groups per class: morning (16 students), eight pairs; afternoon (17 students), seven pairs and one trio.
- Mapping Emotions in Victorian England
- Aby Warburg’s Pathosformeln
- A Quantitative Literary History

- Narrative structure of A Song of Ice and Fire creates a fictional world with realistic measures of social complexity — PNAS
- Network Theory, Plot Analysis — Franco Moretti
Create five slides
- Slide 1 — Tool / method: explain how the analysis works.
- Slide 2 — Question and findings: what did the researchers ask, what did they expect to find, and what did they actually find? Distinguish stated expectations from your inference.
- Slides 3–5 — Visualizations: include 3–5 visualizations from the paper or websites, depending on the project. Cover all major visualizations; place more than one on a slide when needed. Explain what each shows and the “so what”: why it matters to the question or findings.
Use readable figures and identify their sources. Work on the essay and slides during class.
