The seminar series titled Entangled Histories: Borders and Cultural Encounters from the Medieval to the Contemporary Era, conducted in collaboration with Üsküdar University and the University of Insubria, continued with its fifth session. The seminar, attended by Rafael J. Pascual from Oxford University as a speaker, brought together a wide audience from the fields of philology, medieval literature, and digital humanities. Pascual, who drew attention with his digital metrical database project analyzing alliteration patterns in Old English poetry, discussed in his presentation the contributions of combining traditional philological methods with digital analysis techniques to interdisciplinary academic research.
