Raluca Tanasescu’s lecture at the Agder Forum for Translation Studies (University of Agder) on May 7 – “Comparison & Computation: Rethinking Digital Humanities through Translation” – explores how translation can reshape digital humanities by making computational work more comparative, multilingual and attentive to cultural context. Drawing on an exploratory study of multilingual communication, the lecture argues that translation offers a vital methodological lens for interpreting patterns across languages and media.
