Edited by:
Ana Gallego Cuiñas
La colección presenta trabajos interdisciplinares que combinan herramientas humanistas y digitales para proponer enfoques inéditos sobre Literatura, Lingüística, Teoría Crítica y Filosofía en el espacio iberoamericano del siglo XXI. Sus tres líneas de investigación – corpus digitalizados, lingüística experimental, relación entre Literatura, Crítica y Big Data – trascienden el dataísmo para abrir nuevas perspectivas en las Humanidades Digitales.
Los volúmenes de la serie son revisados por pares.
The series presents interdisciplinary studies harnessing humanistic as well as digital tools to offer innovative approaches to literary studies, linguistics, critical theory and philosophy in the multicultural Ibero-American space of the 21st century.

Topics
In recent decades, corpus linguistics has experienced tremendous development in the Hispanic world, along two opposite but complementary approaches: increase in corpus size (corpus linguistics as Big Data) and improvement in document selection and data annotation (corpus linguistics as High Quality Data). The first approach has led to the creation of massive corpora such as EsTenTen; at the same time, it has promoted the use of the web and social networks as corpora. The second perspective gives rise to specialized corpora such as Post Scriptum or Oralia Diacrónica del español (ODE). The contributions gathered in this volume combine both methods in order to exploit their advantages and to overcome their possible limitations. On the one hand, it addresses the creation and design of small corpora focused on data quality; on the other hand, it offers case studies that make use of both specialized corpora and massive data extracted from the web. Highlighting the complementary nature of both methods is the main idea of this book.
By analyzing the citation flows that shape the current geopolitics of knowledge, this book offers to map the production of academic knowledge in Europe and America, taking in to account the specific role of Ibero-American academic thought. Combining the quantitative tools of Big Data and qualitative, critical, humanist and decolonial analysis, it aims at overcoming what some theorists have criticized as "dataism" in the Digital Humanities.
This volume presents the first comprehensive study on the relationship between the Human Sciences and Big Data, with special emphasis on the Ibero-American space. The volume is divided into three parts (theoretical, methodological and practical) with an interdisciplinary vision that integrates thought, culture, language, literature, theoretical criticism, society or the use of new bibliometric techniques.
This book explores the political, social and cultural consequences of COVID-19 through a corpus of over 15.000 articles published in Spain and Latin America in the first pandemic year. Organized around four epistemic fields (geopolitics, gender, biopolitics, philosophy and culture), the contributions offer a quantitative and qualitative analysis combining Big Data tools and humanistic thought.
