Specialists in social sciences are often faced with situations where they must work with large amounts of textual data (literary, historical, or political texts; linguistic research data, etc.). Computer tools offer undeniable advantages for the analysis, organization, sorting or formatting of this information. One should thus be able to master these tools and select an appropriate approach method. The aim of this course is to provide students with the key to choosing and using methods of analysis adapted to different contexts of textual data processing.
More specifically, the course aims to allow students to :
1) select, use, and possibly adapt or conceptualise specialised computer tools in the field of textual data processing;
2) perceive and criticise the particularities and limits of specialised software;
3) become acquainted with the intellectual procedure implied by recourse to data processing in the social sciences.
