Abstract:
Nach formalistischen und strukturalistischen Vorarbeiten werden Dramentexte spätestens seit den 1980er-Jahren mit Computern erforscht. Der Vortrag lässt 40 Jahre digitale Dramenforschung Revue passieren, von den ersten Experimenten mit imperativen Programmiersprachen bis hin zu ausgewachsenen Infrastrukturen in den digitalen Ökosystemen der Gegenwart.
