Kogumik koondab uurimusi, mis käsitlevad rahvalikke poeetilisi vorme – alates folkloorist ja lauldud luulest kuni räpi ja sotsiaalmeedias levivate esitusteni – ning näitavad, kuidas digihumanitaaria meetodid avavad uusi viise luule esteetilise ja esitusliku mõõtme uurimiseks.
Raamatus kohtuvad Islandi rahvalaulud, saksa romantiline luule, Bukowski etendused ja eesti hiphop, tuues esile luule kui mitmekihilise kultuuripraktika, mis väljendub tekstis, hääles ja esitusolukorras ning liigub sujuvalt eri meediumide vahel. Kogumiku artiklid toovad ilmsiks, et arvutuslik analüüs ei muuda luulet pelkadeks andmeteks, vaid aitab nähtavaks teha mustreid ja seoseid, mis toetavad ja avardavad seniseid tõlgendusviise.

This edited volume brings together contributions focused on the computational analysis of popular poetic forms, both traditional and contemporary, as well as song lyrics (for instance in folk, pop, or rap), and other studies on poetic text following a quantitative or computational approach. Particular attention is given to the relationships between text and performance, and to poetic expression disseminated through new media platforms such as the social web.

Through the diversity of materials addressed, ranging from German Romantic poetry to Estonian hip-hop, and from Icelandic verse to Bukowski’s performances, the contributions share and offer an understanding of poetry as a complex phenomenon that exceeds the boundaries of print, unfolding across multiple media, traditions, and reception contexts. Collectively, the papers demonstrate how digital humanities approaches enable novel forms of analysis, showing that quantitative methods do not flatten poetic texts into abstract data nor disregard their aesthetic dimensions. Rather, processes of formalization, from basic counting procedures to advanced algorithmic modeling, provide productive means to analyze, describe, interpret, and access poetic works in ways that both complement and expand established scholarly practices.
