Aleksandra Tykarska gave a lecture:
"EXPERIMENT ON RECOGNITION OF MALE AND FEMALE STYLE" BY KAZIMIERZ TWARDOWSKI. Digital Humanities in Practice
The lecture was devoted to research in the field of digital humanities, philosophy and the history of experimental psychology. The subject of the analysis was a source document that was a record of psychological research, which was conducted at the beginning of the 20th century by the outstanding Polish philosopher Kazimierz Twardowski with his students. Based on the scanned source document (Digital Archive Documents, DAD), a qualitatively different document (Digital Research Documents, DRD) was created, developed and presented as a set of metadata. This is an expression of the revolution and new possibilities that digital humanities bring to scientific research.
