Marc Lemke

Profile

In the context of work in the field of Digital Humanities, I am practically engaged in computer-assisted text analysis procedures, markup procedures, as well as app development for Digital Editions, and I am entrusted with the use and maintenance of the NTEE (NEISS TEI Entity Enricher) software developed in 2019–2022.

I am currently pursuing my theoretical interest in cultural studies issues in my dissertation project "Sinnstiftung mit Text und Ding. Eine Theorie der musealen Kommunikation", which is supervised by Prof. Dr. Holger Helbig. In this project, I am investigating the question of how visitors currently understand museum exhibitions and, to this end, I am drawing on philosophical, sociological, psychological, linguistic, and literary theories as well as empirical findings from neuroscience and cognitive science, museum statistics, and visitor research as resistances in the formation of theory.

CV

Born in 1986 in Parchim. Since completing my studies in Linguistics and Literature as well as Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Rostock (Bakkalaureus Artium and Master of Arts) in 2014, I have been involved in the project of the "Uwe Johnson-Werkausgabe (The Complete Works of Uwe Johnson)", especially the Digital Edition. This involves research on archival materials, building a typographic database as an internal research tool, developing Named Entity Recognition software as part of the EU project NEISS (Neural Extraction of Information, Structures and Symmetries from Images), and designing and maintaining the digital architecture of the edition.

In 2013, I joined the "AG Wissenschaft ausstellen", which deals decidedly with questions of exhibition theory and practice. As part of this, I was involved in, among other things, organizing the Rostock station of the traveling exhibition "Willst du mit mir gehen? Botschaften unter der Schulbank" (3.4.–18.5.2014) of the School Museum Nuremberg and co-edited the volume "Atlas. Mumie. Zifferblatt. Entdeckungen in der Hanse- und Universitätsstadt Rostock" (published by Wallstein, 2019).
