Speakers: Cécile Meynard and Thomas Lebarbé, Stendhal University, Grenoble

Cécile Meynard and Thomas Lebarbé jointly lead the Stendhal’s Manuscripts digital archive project, “cutting-edge technology to  place author's barely legible manuscripts next to scrupulous modern-day transcripts” (The Guardian). Starting from a demonstration of the website, freely accessible at  www.manuscrits-destendhal.org, and focusing on the different renderings that can be built from a single transcription, they intend to present their current reflexions on the complementarities of digital and paper editions. 

Cécile Meynard and Thomas Lebarbé work at Stendhal University in Grenoble (France), in French Literature and Computational Linguistics respectively. They have published several articles on digital and paper editions, and designed a novel digital archive model, CLELIA (Corpus littéraire et linguistique assisté par des outils d’intelligence artificielle, Literary and Linguistic Corpus assisted by Artificial Intelligence).
