Social Network Analysis of Career Trajectories in Polish Literature After 1989

The project aims to provide insights into literary reception of the Polish authors after the cultural transition of 1989 by applying social network analysis (SNA) methods to analyse relationships mined from bibliographical and textual data. The project will produce several case studies on the material derived from Polish Literary Bibliography (PBL) and the Corpus of Literary Discourse 1822-2022 (KDL). The case studies will employ network analysis and visualisation techniques to study the relationships between the actors of literary life and provide data-stories of career trajectories and success (or failure) patterns of particular writers (with a focus on Olga Tokarczuk).

Dr Maciej Maryl is Assistant Professor and founding Director of the Digital Humanities Centre at the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He is a Visiting Translational Access Fellow on the CLS INFRA project.
