The PPA is the most comprehensive collection of historical texts about English-language prosody – or prosody in any modern language – in the world. Its combined scale and precision enable scholars to pose entirely new research questions of poetic and prosodic history. The PPA was develop ed at The Center for Digital Humanities\, celebrating its 10th anniversary in the academic year 2024-25. To commemorate this historic year\, which c oincides with the completion of the PPA’s development\, we are bringing together literary\, computational\, and literary-computational scholars in a unified conference: The Ends of Prosody.The Ends of Prosody celebrates the breadth of research the PPA enables\, forging new intersections betwee n disciplines. In an initial PPA computational workshop\, scholars from th e computational strand of the conference will be invited to explore the PP A’s data and propose essays based on their findings. A series of panels will follow\, composed of scholars invited to present their research on pr osody\, undertaken using the PPA. To conclude the conference\, a series of lightning talks will unite these approaches to the archive\, meditating o n the ways in which we might conceive of poetry as data.This conference is made possible by the support of the Princeton University Humanities Counc il and the Bain-Swiggett Fund of the Department of English.\n\n\n\n \n \n Program Schedule\n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Wed\, May 14\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 9 am (A ll day)Center for Digital Humanities\, Firestone Library\n \n A data play day for invited computational schola rs to explore the full data of the Princeton Prosody Archive.Breakfast\, l unch\, and dinner provided\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Thurs\, May 15\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 9 amJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Breakfast available for all participants.\n \n \n \n \n \n 9 am - 12 pmJulis Romo Rabinowit z Building\, Room 399\n \n Continued data play for invited computational scholars.After this time\, Room 397 w ill be available as a breakout room (Thursday and Friday).\n \n \n \n \n \n 11 am - 12 pmJulius Romo Rabinowitz Building \, Room 397.\n \n Graduate student m eeting for all participating graduate students (external and Princeton).\n \n \n \n \n \n 12 pm - 12:45 pmJulis Romo Rab inowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Lun ch\n \n \n \n \n \n 12:45 pm - 2:15 pmJulis Ro mo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n An Introduction to the Ends of Prosody and the Princeton Prosody Archiv eSpeakers: Meredith Martin\, Wouter Haverals\, Rebecca Sutton Koeser\, Ma ry Naydan &\; Laure Thompson\n \n \n \n \n \n 2:30 pm - 4:10 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Panel 1: “Conflicting Systems”Chaired b y Susan WolfsonSpeakers: Courtney Weiss Smith\, Denae Dyck &\; Kaitlyn Fralick\, Virginia Jackson\n \n \n \n \n \n 4: 20 pm - 6 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Panel 2: “Examples\, Experiments\, Experience”C haired by Jeff DolvenSpeakers: Ewan Jones\, Casie Legette\, Meredith McGil l\n \n \n \n \n \n 6 pm - 9 pmBendheim House\n \n Evening reception for all partic ipants.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Fri\, May 16\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Today ’s discussions feature:\n \n John Ladd\, Ryan Heuser\, Melanie Walsh\, Artjoms Šeļa\, Petr Plecháč &\ ; Neža Kočnik\; Anna Preus\, Mark Algee-Hewitt &\; Unjoo Oh\, Natalie Houston\, David Mimno\, David Smith\, David Bamman\n \ n \n \n \n \n 9 amJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Breakfast for all participants.\n \n \n \n \n \n 9:30 am - 10:15 amJulis Romo Rabi nowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Brea kfast presentations from the CDH team\n \n \n \n \n \n 10:30 am - 12 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Panel 3: Data presentations\n \n \n \n \n \n 12 pm - 1 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Build ing\, Room 399\n \n Lunch for all pa rticipants.\n \n \n \n \n \n 1 pm - 3 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Panel 4: Data Presentations\n \n \n \n \n \n 3:15 pm - 5:15 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Panel 5: Data Presentations\n \n \n \n \n \n 5:30 pm - 6:45 pmLocation TBD\n \n Happy hour and caucus for all participating graduate students (external and Princeton)\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sat\, May 17\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n 9 amJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\ n \n Breakfast for all participants. \n \n \n \n \n \n 9 am - 10:30 amJulis Romo Ra binowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Ca ucus for all participating graduate students (external and Princeton)\n \n \n \n \n \n 10:30 am - 11:30 amJulis Romo Rab inowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Key note: Yopie Prins\n \n \n \n \n \n 11:30 am - 12 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Graduate student caucus report\n \n \n \n \n \n 12 pm - 1 pmJulis Romo Rabinowitz Building\, Room 399\n \n Lunch for all participants.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\nhttps://cdh.princeton.edu/events/2025/05/the-e nds-of-prosody/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
