Corpus collectifs. Du corpus à l’analyse du texte : pour une approche numérique et géo-littéraire collective, l’exemple de MéMo

This article examines the MéMo project as a key example of the renewal of literary studies through the digital humanities and the analysis of large collective corpora. The project employs computational and collaborative methodologies to combine quantitative reading with hermeneutic interpretation within a geo-literary and ecocritical framework. It focuses on a vast corpus of Southern Italian literature from 1945 onward, connecting texts, places, and memories around the themes of war, industrialization, and migration. Through an interactive literary map and a Semantic Web-based platform, MéMo enables a dynamic and interdisciplinary exploration of literary works, conceiving the corpus as a living and relational landscape rather than a mere aggregation of texts.
