Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

This digital collection addresses the ways that "distant reading" technologies have shaped the interpretation and theory of the study of literature. Here you will find original research on the debates between quantitative and qualitative approaches to literature; the role of computation in humanities research; the state of humanistic departments; and many things in between.
