The project "Chronicling Novelty - New knowledge in the Netherlands, 1500 – 1850" investigates the circulation and evaluation of new knowledge, ideas and technologies among a non-specialist public, using a corpus of 300 early modern handwritten Dutch chronicles.

Alie’s own project is about the changing mediascapes of the authors of chronicles, looking at both the sources chroniclers use and the topics they describe. In general, she is interested in the use of computational text analytical methods to research early modern cultural products.

She is staying in Aarhus for three months, to collaborate with the colleagues at CHC to work on the density of events in chronicles.
