Computer-Assisted Reading: Reconceiving Text Analysis

Stéfan Sinclair1

1 University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada

The strengths of current text-analysis tools lie in their ability to perform a variety of formal, enumerative, or statistical functions. These functions concord well with scientific perspectives of textual criticism. Much less evident is how current text-analysis tools help read and experience literature. Design of new tools, it is argued, should give full space to how literary critics interact with texts, rather than simply focus on what computers can do well. Principles of reading, synthesis, and play are explored in relation to a prototype version of HyperPo: Text Analysis and Exploration Tools.
