CATMA in use at the University of Hamburg

CATMA is currently used in, among other, an MA textual analysis seminar on the Austrian writer Arthur Schnitzler. Schnitzler, a contemporary of Sigmund Freud’s, introduced into German narrative prose the narrative technique of so-called ‘internal focalization’, i.e. psychological introspection into characters. With CATMA students tag and analyse surfcae markers as well as deeper level semantic attributes in Schnitzler’s texts to identify the specific patterns of introspection in his narratives.
