“…And when the first word processors reached the consumer market, they typically stressed their one major benefit over regular typewriters even to the point where it inspired the product name: The Electric Pencil , ie its writing can be erased. But while the residue of discarded phrasings is readily available to researchers of hundred-year-old documents, the editing made onscreen in the era of word processors (a period dating back to the mid-1960s) is generally harder to locate (Heilmann 2012). The enormous benefit of seemingly traceless erasures provided by computer-aided composition – attested by authors, clerks and typists used to more hands-on cutting and pasting – also makes it more difficult for literary scholars to uncover erased sentences in archived papers.…”

While the history and practices of collecting have received considerable attention over the past few decades, the notion of erasure – of the deleting, removal or destruction of material, whether deliberate or otherwise – has remained largely in the shadows. We challenge this neglect by placing erasure centre stage and treating it as a productive phenomenon in its own right. Indeed, we suggest that it forms a significant precondition for the very possibility of memory and collections. This article draws upon a recent turn to consider questions of forgetting, ignorance and ending to lay out the grounds for analysing the various roles played by erasure in making and unmaking our world. Inspired by Paul Connerton's discussion of different types of forgetting, we present five distinct forms of erasure that we regard as principally important: (i) repressive erasure, (ii) protective erasure, (iii) operative erasure, (iv) amending erasure and (v) calamitous and neglectful erasure. In each case, we discuss the characteristic logic of the erasure at hand and provide examples of the historical and media-specific forms in which it has been enacted. Our aim in doing so is to provide future researchers with some of the analytical tools and perspectives necessary to engage in further erasure studies. For if we are interested in making sense of the shifting and complex world we inhabit, then the interdisciplinary study of the compelling yet elusive phenomenon of erasure is an excellent place to start.

“…Das grundlegende Potenzial diagrammatischer Operationen, kombiniert mit der digitalen Repräsentation von Text, ermöglicht die Verdatung von Sprachgebrauch, macht Sprachgebrauch verrechenbar -auch mit nicht-sprachlichen Daten, um beispielsweise Korrelationen zwischen Sprachgebrauch und nicht-sprachlichen Entitäten zu finden. Möglich macht dies das "Metamedium" Computer (Kay und Goldberg 1977;Manovich 2014) mittels der drei Grundfunktionen Codierung, Algorithmisierung und Formatierung (Heilmann 2012). Dabei wird jedoch auch deutlich, dass der Gewinn dieses Settings von diagrammatischen Operationen, Digitalisierung und Verdatung besonders aus geisteswissenschaftlicher Sicht dann besonders gross ist, wenn die Flexibilität des Metamediums Computer möglichst ausgereizt wird.…”

Mit dem digitalen Zeitalter ergeben sich für die Geisteswissenschaften neue methodologische Möglichkeiten, deren Wurzeln jedoch weit zurück reichen. Am Anfang steht der Index, der inzwischen mit viel weniger Aufwand als früher zum Volltextindex wird. Mit der anschliessenden „Verdatung“ werden Sprachdaten verrechenbar und damit anders nutzbar. Welche Rolle können Bibliotheken in einer verdateten Welt spielen? Der folgende Beitrag betont nicht nur die technischen Möglichkeiten, sondern auch die Probleme, spezifisch aus geistes- und kulturwissenschaftlicher Sicht.The digital era produces a whole range of new approaches for research in the humanities whose origins, however, can be traced far back. Their very source is the index, which can take the form of a full text index much easier than before. By turning text into data it becomes computationally tractable and can be used in novel ways. Which role can libraries play in a digitized world? This paper explores technical possibilities but it also points to problems specific for arts and social sciences.
