Setting the frame
A new methodology for the study of transnational popular culture
This work package aims to give a substantial contribution to the comprehension of the factors that affect the representation and dissemination of European identity in contemporary European popular culture, and to provide a sound methodological framework to the study of European popular culture – consisting in specific protocols for the combination of human and machine analysis and the transfer of knowledge in a transnational connective environment.
WP2 has the following goals:
To define the methodology and to elaborate the protocols for DETECt research and educational activities;
To provide all researchers with a shared semantic framework, through the elaboration of a domain-specific ontology to be used to represent the transcultural content of European identity;
To design the conceptual architecture of DETECt portal for research and formal and informal education;
To select and collect an adequate research corpus to efficiently study the factors affecting the representation of European identity in a popular narrative genre of contemporary cultural production.
