Ten years, 114 papers, one plot twist: drama research got fancier tools (hi transformers! 🤖) but never broke up with 1970s theory🥸. At #DH2026, @lucagiovannini.bsky.social presented our dive into the DraCor bibliography (2015-2025): what changed, and what stubbornly did not. Slides: plu.sh/decadrama

Also I spent the evening before our #DH2026 presentation cutting PoeTree.org project stickers ✂️ straight cuts wasn't easy with konbini-bought scissors so some stickers have custom non-square shape.. find them at the 1st floor! and find us with @artjomshl.bsky.social to talk about poetry corpora
PoeTree.org stickers in different stages of life: some cut in squares, some in pierogi-clouds, and some in plain squares or not cut at all yet
