Digital Humanities Initiative

The CUNY Digital Humanities Initiative (CUNY DHI), launched in Fall 2010, aims to build connections and community among those at CUNY who are applying digital technologies to scholarship and pedagogy in the humanities. All are welcome: faculty, students, and technologists, experienced practitioners and beginning DHers, enthusiasts and skeptics.

We meet regularly on- and offline to explore key topics in the Digital Humanities, and share our work, questions, and concerns. See our blog for more information on upcoming events (it’s also where we present our group’s work to a wider audience). Help edit the CUNY Digital Humanities Resource Guide, our first group project. And, of course, join the conversation on the Forum.

    “”Painting Province: A Statistical Analysis of Rural Imagery in
    Nineteenth-Century French Painting”
    Diana Greenwald, Research Assistant, Institute of New Economic Thinking at
    the Oxford Martin School and D.Phil Candidate in Economic and Social
    History at Wadham College, University of Oxford
    Thursday, October 27, 2016

    Throughout the nineteenth century, urbanization and industrialization were
    modernizing France’s socio-economic landscape; meanwhile, both the subject
    matter and style of French art were rapidly changing. Featured among these
    artistic changes was the growing prominence of landscape and rural genre
    painting. Scholars have argued that the socio-economic changes caused the
    artistic ones—that as French populations became more urban, they demanded
    more images of nature. Using statistical methods and a previously untapped
    dataset (an unpublished subject index to the roughly 134,000 paintings
    displayed at the Paris Salon between 1791 and 1881) this talk examines
    whether or not the production of natural imagery in art can be
    systematically linked to urbanization and industrialization.

    All lectures are held from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the Music Room of The
    Frick Collection. They are free and open to the public, but registration is
    required. To register, please contact [email protected].”
