1. Visualization of the WomenWriters Database: Interdisciplinary Collaboration Experiments 2012 – 2015Aleš Vaupotič, Narvika Bovcon, 2017, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: In the exploration of visualization methods in the WomenWriters database and consequently, the creating of interactive diagrams and other graphical interfaces that are presented here, the Research Centre for Humanities and the School of Humanities of the University of Nova Gorica collaborated with the University
of Ljubljana. The visualization prototypes were realized by the students at the Faculty of Computer and Information Science, University of Ljubljana, as part of Introduction to Design and Graphic Design courses, supervised by Narvika Bovcon, PhD, assistants Jure Demšar and Tadej Zupančič. The work spanned
from 2012 to 2016. More then three hundred students were involved in the process. In the end, the most interesting visualizations were selected from the results and are presented in this article.

2. W OMEN W RITERS D ATABASE AND VIRTUAL RESEARCH ENVIRONMENT BEYOND THE CURRICULA OF LITERARY SCHOLARSHIPNarvika Bovcon, Aleš Vaupotič, 2017, published scientific conference contribution abstract Abstract: The study of informatics typically includes information visualization and the rhetoric of user
interface. Such courses are expanding the core computer science curricula towards multimedia
communication design. However, to practice visualization on datasets in a non-focused way may
diminish the quality of educational effect as well as the quality of the results of students' projects. A
collaboration with domain experts has proven to be very beneficial by involving students in various
research projects and platforms. The students of informatics at the Faculty of Computer and
Information Science, University of Ljubljana, have touched upon humanities projects in different
special domains: the datasets provided by Institute of Contemporary History (INZ, Ljubljana),
interface design for electronic scholarly editions based on TEI XML files, documentation of new
media art exhibitions, and others. As noted by some contributors in A New Companion to Digital
Humanities (2016) with relevance to the latter aspect of interdisciplinary contact, the domain of new
media art constitutes an essential inspiration for the study of digital humanities methods and
approaches. In the second part of the paper, the multi-year collaboration between the University of
Nova Gorica and University of Ljubljana computer-science curricula will be presented. The
WomenWriters database, as well as subsequently the NEWW VRE, has been used in different models
of interdisciplinary collaboration.

3. Theory of Discourse and SemioticsAleš Vaupotič, 2019, independent scientific component part or a chapter in a monograph Abstract: The paper begins with an analysis of a news article reporting
on scientific discovery. The scientific methods are considered from
the point of view of Peircean semiotics and the structuralist semiology.
The usefulness of the Peircean approach in literary scholarship is demonstrated
in the case of the realist novel as it is construed by Hans Vilmar
Geppert. By considering Geppert’s alignment of Bakhtin’s theory of the
novel with Peirce’s sign-theory the similarities and differences between
the discourse-theoretical (considering also Foucault’s work) and semiotic
approaches is outlined. In the second part of the text two cases of artistic
research are presented, the first one, the Friedhof Laguna project from
2003, being realised in the discourse-theoretical frameworks, and the
second one, 3-D visualizations of the NEWW Women Writers database
from 2017, being grounded in the Peircean semiotics.

4. Artistic Visualizations and BeyondNarvika Bovcon, Aleš Vaupotič, 2018, published scientific conference contribution Abstract: The paper discusses a case study of the integration of artistic practice in the digital humanities research. The methodology of encoding meaning in visual form is explained for four different sculptures and an artist book. The approach is tied to the allegoric thinking in building emblems and miniatures in the history of art (16th century and later). The use of diagrams is integrated in the experimental projections of a future archeology. The data of digital humanities research can achieve greater visibility and address a wider cultural context when presented in collaboration with art institutions.
