The reference point of this review article is Miran Hladnik’s paper (1995) “Elektronski literarnovedni viri in računalniško pisanje” (“Electronic resources for literary studies and computer-aided writing”), one of the first to highlight the potential of computational tools in Slovenian literary studies. In this discussion it is presented as a reference point for reflecting on the development of Slovenian digital humanities and, more specifically, computational literary studies over the past three decades. The article examines which directions, outlined in the mid-1990s, have materialized and become part of research practice, which have become obsolete, and which new approaches have emerged in the meantime. Particular attention is given to the establishment of digital libraries, the publication of electronic scholarly editions and literary corpora, as well as to the development of tools and methods that have enabled quantitative analyses ranging from stylometry to topic modelling and word embeddings. Alongside an analysis of key resources, tools, and case studies, the paper also considers the institutional framework that has taken shape in the last decade – from the integration of digital humanities into university curricula to the activities of research centres, associations, and regular conferences. In doing so, it demonstrates how the digital humanities now go beyond merely providing technical support for research, and how they have gradually moved from a marginal practice to an established research approach, becoming part of the methodological pluralism of Slovenian literary studies.
