LeBlanc, Ph.D. Meneely Professor of Computer Science Wheaton College, Norton, MA 02766 508.286.3970 http://cs.wheatoncollege.edu/mleblanc --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 2014 18:15:44 +0200 From: Joris van Zundert Subject: Re: 27.1026 social structures & experience? In-Reply-To: <20140506191032.93A0660F7@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I sincerely doubted sending this in, and at several moments hovered with my finger above the trash can icon. But I guess Humanist should be the judge on this. I'm truly sorry but your subject, excerpt, and comment totally pushed my rant-button. However subjective, this is an account of true experience with an edge on social structure… handle with care I guess. … No, I don't think that boundary is moving at all. Let me explain that by telling a story. This is not my story. This is a story about a man who is a builder. He is a builder of software. In the true fashion of computer science he regards himself as a problem solver. But he is working in a humanities environment. This makes for some uncomfortable feelings of mismatch, as it turns out after a while that humanities has no problems to really solve. Our protagonist finds that humanities studies problems, offers perspectives, articulates possible meanings, paints a multitude of critical perceptions. Some arguments seem more valid than others, depending strongly on context, but all are seemingly valuable. But the harder our hero looks the fewer concrete problems of the type "How do we make water run uphill?" crop up. But then he discovers that at the bottom of the scientific building of humanities, in the trenches where information is gathered, structured, and offered for higher scrutiny, some problems-one-could-say emerge from repetitive, mind numbing, error prone, yet highly valuable tasks: churning out the primitives and primary data that humanities scholars need for their synthetic analysis. This is the realm of data entry and curation, of documentary and scholarly editing tasks that prepare the raw data to be refined through the hands of academic scholars. Here our hero finds a first application ground for his merit. Here's repetition. Here he can scale. Here he can help the humanities benefit from computing power. But the researchers do not quite see the scientific merit of that. If it is hard to value the labor involved with curating information as a scientific task, it is even harder for them to see how automation of such basic tasks would constitute research. Yes, it is important it should happen, no it is not research that we recognize. These judgements are not spoken. They are lingering and latent, maybe even unconscious within the scholars. Yet it is there, being covertly salient, this strong stratification of academic labor and value. The efforts of the minions in the basement of data curation are lip serviced with many verbal endowments of the importance of that fruitful laborious craft for the higher scientific goals of the humanities. This state of precarious virtual mutual respect makes for another inconvenient truth. Our hero sees a concrete problem in the scientific workflow of the scholars. His experience and expertise tell him he can solve it. The solving will involve true research to guarantee the sophistication and validity of the solution. But the scholars will not fund this, for this is not recognizable scholarship. The tiny few that do see the paramount nature of the work, assure the man of the validity of his endeavor. So our man starts solving the problem on his own accord. Not so much in a DIY fashion as a IYOT fashion: In Your Own Time. But valuing by training and instinct the collaborative aspect he communicates his steps conscientiously with the few that understand his work and ambition. He iterates his solution towards ever better performance. He lends methods and techniques from other scientific domains. Translates these into forms suitable for the humanities context he is working in and for. Adds his own thinking-through-the-keyboard algorithm. Two, three, four years of self investment, free labor, scholarly as well as scientific thinking, and formally unrecognized research pass by. After this period a working solution is presented that not just solves the problem, but also identifies some aspects of the problem that clearly demarcate the boundaries between what a solvable problem of this type in humanities is and what remains as grounds for interpretation, yielding scholars much information about the current limits of formalization of their epistemics. A concrete problem is solved, effort for a labor-intensive task can be decimated. What used to take weeks, months, can be put forth in mere milliseconds. Only the willfully blind would not recognize the thus created potential to reallocate resources to scholarly research by eradicating an error prone and dull, yet scholarly skilled task. So, we expect our hero to be celebrated, respected, recognized for his scientific interdisciplinary achievement. Alas, no. Our respectful scholars are not able to recognize the scholarly merit and quality of the software that our protagonist puts forward. Yes the great effort needed for a scholarly task is sincerely reduced. We see that, they say. But we can not see the work this man has done. We can not establish its scholarly correctness. And besides, this is a primitive task in the greater scholarly work. This man has not given us any synthesis, no broader scholarly perspective, no reasoning and argument on paper in a humanities journal. Show us his produce we can judge to be humanities work and we will honor him! His work to us is a magical black box, and we do not have an account of what he put in. The agony of non recognition goes a little deeper a little further even. As our undaunted man puts his software out there for the wider community to judge, he meets two, three kind souls who truly try to understand him. But mostly computer illiterate scholars test drive his software using input formats that are clearly indicated to be not of the right make up. The software chokes. And many mails follow stating the software is faulty, ill conceived, useless, clearly uninformed of any scholarly needs and requirements. Yet bravely our man battles on, believing in his cause. This by all means is not my story. My story—well one of them—is similar though in experience. Having developed a digital edition environment, based on good software development practices, keen thinking on human-computer interaction, and well rehearsed and read in editorial theory, the comment I got was (somewhat liberally translated) "You're a cook without training and decent recipes". So, no. I do not see that boundary shifting. The digital humanities community is growing. Hence it may be that we see understanding people around us more often that warrants this impression of moving disciplinary borders. But in the reality of projects I see the traditional scholar battling his turf to the bitter end. Anything as long as he does not have to seriously look at new technologies and methodologies. Collaboration sounds like a great plan. But the collaboration you speak of and that I would cherish is utterly scarce. That is because collaboration is also trade. Mutual benefits need to flow in either direction to make the collaboration worthwhile. The most important commodities in this trade are knowledge, respect, and academic credit. But I find almost without exception that what to me looks like fine research activities by developers and computer scientists that do have scholarly implications and merit, is relegated by humanists to the level of support service or the level of outsourcing of non scholarly tasks. But there is hardly any respectful interrogation of or dialogue on the methodological knowledge that might be embedded and created within software and computation. No such dialogue beyond the community of a tiny few. Developers with a humanities interest and humanities scholars who dare to err from the true scholarly path by being able to code alike meet with disrespect, disinterest, and not seldom outright academic arrogance. It is to me no less than a miracle that some of these people want to stay involved. Their motivation must in many cases be very personal and very deeply felt indeed. Sadly but true methodological innovation in this field is born in frustration rather than out of mutual understanding. And now those tiny few are presented with a new threat. Words like collaboration, interdisciplinary work, and computational approach are becoming mere rhetoric material in the hand of computer illiterate but money and status sensitive scholars. For meanwhile digital humanities has become such a proverbial 'Next Big Thing' that it attracts half wits like beetles are being attracted to a dung heap. Next to ignorance and being ignored the computer literate that not seldom sacrificed academic career opportunity to genuine computational curiosity now face competition with people having bigger and larger academic titles, because the sure dumbness multiplier got involved: funding. And the game becomes more about the credit you have that allows you to generate mo-money, than about the actual dynamic between computer science and humanities. In that the computer illiterate have the highest stakes to keep the boundaries exactly where they are. For letting these boundaries be permeated by computation and digitallity would force them to trade academic space for new methodologies and the people that tag along with that. Window dressing your application with buzz words and keeping the academic spoils to yourself however is for them a far better deal. y.s. --Joris PS I'll go silently sit in that corner over there now, letting of steam, hissing.

Bogdanov’s systemic thinking on film arts via the Proletkult-movement All the details may be found at the web page http://aaltowebstudio.cloudapp.net/tangentialpoints/ We invite academic scholars, students, and free thinkers to participate in the two-day international conference to be held at Aalto University, Helsinki, May 15-16, 2014. This new annual conference will bring together international scholars from natural sciences and arts to discuss historical and contemporary tangenting points between distinct fields. Each year a new specific topic will provide participants with a playground for creating, sharing, and cultivating a multiplicity of novel, even radical tangential points between natural sciences and arts. The 1st meeting aims at linking the early Russian systemic thinking with the montage thinking that emerged within the film community in the first half of the 20th century. The young Sergei M. Eisenstein, among other artists, joined the Proletkult, a cross-disciplinary movement aiming to revolutionize culture, arts, and sciences. The medical doctor Alexander Bogdanov was the ideological father of this movement. Bogdanov held regular lectures, which embedded his tektological ideas of organization and emergent behavior as universal mechanisms of nature and society. Once V.I. Lenin’s closest collaborator, Bogdanov soon became his worst rival, and his systemic ideas were doomed to vanish from the Soviet history until their re-discovery in the 1980s. The tangenting points between the early systemic thinking and film arts constitute the general topic of this meeting. Among the specific issues is, for example, to what extent Eisenstein theoretical work on montage systems was influenced by the systemic thinking of Alexander Bogdanov. To reach for present day, one may even ask, to what extent are these early systemic ideas recycled in contemporary media art theories? The selection of presentations aims at linking systemic thinking with film arts in general, or with Bogdanov, Eisenstein, and the Proletkult-movement in particular.

Goal of the Conference This is the fourth of a biennially organized conference that brings together scholars and historians interested in the comparative history of the humanities (philology, art history, historiography, linguistics, logic, literary studies, musicology, theatre studies, media studies, a.o.). Theme of the 2014 Conference: Connecting Disciplines We welcome papers and panels on the history of the humanities that focus on any period or region. The theme of the 2014 conference will be Connecting Disciplines, with a special interest in comparing methods and patterns across disciplines -- both within and between regions (e.g. China and Europe). Confirmed Invited Speakers Fenrong Liu http://fenrong.net/ (Tsinghua University) Hans-Jörg Rheinberger (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science) Helen Small (University of Oxford) Deadline for abstracts and panel proposals: 1 June 2014 For more information, see http://makingofthehumanities.blogspot.com Organization Rens Bod http://staff.science.uva.nl/~rens/ , Julia Kursell, Jaap Maat, Thijs Weststeijn --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 7 May 2014 16:24:38 +0200 From: Suzanne van Kaam Subject: Announcement: first annual DH Benelux conference Benelux Conference Digital Humanities 12-13 June 2014 Conference to present state of the art in digital humanities research The first DHBenelux conference on 12- 13 June 2014 will showcase the state of the art in digital humanities – the most recent development in humanities research. For researchers already involved in digital humanities the conference will be a great opportunity to share knowledge and meet potential project partners. For those new to digital humanities the conference will provide a platform to get acquainted with both experienced and beginning researchers. Conference programme The conference organisers have put together an exciting programme. It focuses on all aspects of digital humanities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. Exchanging information is a major goal of the conference. Therefore, the conference is packed with parallel sessions and short, 15-minute presentations. The conference dinner on 12th June will be followed by a poster session. In other words: plenty of time for networking and for gaining a quick overview of the field. Melissa Terras Keynote speaker Professor Melissa Terras, Director of University College London, will put the conference programme in an international context. She is a leading digital humanities researcher and has been working in the field since the 1990s. She has participated in digital humanities developments from ‘virtual reality’ via ‘digital imaging’ to using computer technology to enable innovative research. Organisation The organising committee of DH Benelux comprises Marijn Koolen (University of Amsterdam), Mike Kestemont (University Antwerp), Karina van Dalen-Oskam (Huygens ING) and Steven Claeyssens (Koninklijke Bibliotheek, National Library of the Netherlands). The conference venue is the KB building, which houses both the Huygens ING and the National Library. It is conveniently located right next to the Central Train Station in The Hague, a thirty-minute train ride from Schiphol airport. The conference is in English. You can register for the conference until 1 June by means of the DHBenelux registration form.

In-Reply-To: <20140506191032.93A0660F7@digitalhumanities.org> Dear All: As some of you may already know, Bethany Nowviskie and the good folks at the UVa Scholars Lab organized a conference that examined this apparent division of labor back in November: [Speaking in Code](http://codespeak.scholarslab.org). The conference's very topic was the assumptions we make about the very nature of disciplinarity and the practices that create and maintain it. Some of the practitioners present at the conference were programmers who worked on digital humanities projects; some were faculty, or prospective faculty (i.e., graduate students), members who also coded. But even this line, as Willard notes, was blurred, as a good percentage of the programmers held PhDs in humanities disciplines but had found coding / building a more satisfying way of doing humanistic work. And most of the faculty present were really interested in their code being a publication. (If anything, the faculty seemed more handicapped in this regard than anyone else in the room.) I know that Nowviskie and company were working on a white paper to follow up the conference, and so I hope perhaps someone with more knowledge will write in to update us. john -- John Laudun Department of English University of Louisiana – Lafayette Lafayette, LA 70504-4691 337-482-5493 laudun@louisiana.edu http://johnlaudun.org/ On May 6, 2014, at 2:10 PM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 27, No. 1026. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Wed, 07 May 2014 04:55:51 +1000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: social structures & experience > > In "The early progress of scientific simulation", in Gabriele > Gramelsberger, ed., From Science to Computational Sciences (2011), David > Alan Grier argues for a mid 18C beginning to the mathematical simulation > of physical phenomena.

Someone (here?) has said that trying to establish a discipline is like trying to insert a new brick in an old wall. We'd be foolish (as I have been) to believe resistance has vanished with the popularity of claims to or identification with digital humanities. All's well as long as the digital humanist knows his or her place and keeps to it. That place can be high or low. Nor does the problem does go away if he or she is a social equal, because the problem, or most of it, lies with the one somehow threatened. Presenting digital advantages to a practitioner of a traditionally conceived older discipline is usually safe, I've found. What could be easier, require less craft? "Here is something that will help you do whatever you want to do better, faster, more comprehensively than you could do otherwise." A suggestive demo then follows. But, as Joris wrote, try presenting a digital object itself as scholarship and the reaction is likely to be very different. To be fair I'd think that the burden of proof rests with the innovator. Historian Michael Mahoney never tired of pointing out that we do not know how to read our machines; this comes, as he said, not by reading a printout of the code but by reading the code in action, running on a machine. As the amount of code grows software becomes a black box, somewhat like a person, unpredictable, full of surprises or intimations of personality. (Think of the difference in feel of a Mac from a Windows machine or a Linux box, for example.) Can a black box be trusted? Can the "thing knowledge" in it be understood critically? Not just like that. Trust has to be built up from experience, knowledge drawn out and explained, almost always in a carefully reasoned fashion, in writing. Perhaps the builder of a machine has an advantage here, but claims have to be backed up by explanations, explications. What is dangerous, even now, to do is to show a practitioner in another discipline how digital analytics renders a treasured object of his or her disciplinary study problematic. "Who are you to tell me, who is a real [disciplinary label here], how my [text, image, artefact] might be interpreted?" I'm drawing on a very recent experience -- an attack delivered, almost before I had a chance to finish my sentence, with such hostile energy that I'm certain (verified by later, friendlier conversation with the fellow) that my interrogator had not had time to consider a reasoned counter-argument. He responded out of fear worthy of a Luddite scholar during the Cold War. He even spoke, in an agitated state, of the computer taking his job away. Another, somewhat gentler case. I show an example in which automated pattern-recognition would produce some surprises for the art historian. An expert in the material that I used on this occasion replies, also immediately: "Everyone in art history knows that this correspondence is nothing more than style." The possibility that many (hundreds? thousands?) of such examples might be delivered to the desktop, as we say, is brushed away with contempt. I wonder: because that notoriously elusive and polysemous notion of style might be shown to have feet of clay, that it might be shown to be a question rather than a fact? What would happen to the discipline then? What would happen to the ground formerly assumed to be solid granite? Comments?

Both provide an opportunity to work in a growing and dynamic DH centre. Both are associated with the development of the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) . The first is a full-time Software Engineer position which provides an excellent opportunity for a software developer to work in a stimulating, challenging research environment using the latest leading edge Java innovations and Open Source technologies. The successful candidate must have the ability and willingness to take ownership of the project, design and progress it through to development, test and delivery, while working in a dynamic and collegial team-based environment. The second position is a half time developer to work on one of the DRI's demonstrator projects, The Letters of 1916 . The Letters of 1916 is a high-profile, crowdsourced DH project. The successful candidate will take a primary role in developing an infrastructure for the project, migrating content from its present form as a transcription desk to a digital archive, while ensuring compatibility with the DRI infrastructure. Further details for both posts can be found here: http://humanresources.nuim.ie/vacancies.shtml Closing dates for both appointments are 20 May. If you would like to speak informally about either position, please get in touch with me.

This is one of the most common clichés defining the early 21st century, both in academic circles and in general public imagery. And, as clichés often do, this one encapsulates some elements of truth. The Internet era is indeed, quantitatively at least, the scene of the most formidable multiplication of readily available information of any kind humanity has ever experienced. A considerable portion of this information comes in visual form: we have more and more images and diagrams of all kinds of things at our disposal, and we often wish – this is perhaps a broader anthropological phenomenon – to give visual figure to information that is not quintessentially meant to address the eyes. The "unprecedented" nature of our contemporary overload may be less clear than we tend to think, however. Some periods in the past were confronted with a similar cultural situation, considering both the objective growth in available information and the subjective impression of living in an era of unprecedented epistemological saturation. An emblematic moment of this kind was the sixteenth and seventeenth century in Europe, the two centuries that led up to, and witnessed, the now often contested "Scientific Revolution", a period characterised also by geographical expansion and aesthetic subversion. Then, as now, optimism about the prospects of knowledge was inextricably mingled with fears of having "too much to know," to borrow the title of Ann Blair's seminal monograph – and of the impossibility of selecting, organizing, and finally making sense of the ever increasing amount of information facing our early modern predecessors. Then, as now, artists and scholars were at the forefront of the struggle to digest and discipline knowledge – or, conversely, to denounce its overabundance and express our human failure to meaningfully organize what we know. Then, as now, they also unwittingly contributed to the very copia that they so frequently bemoaned. Indeed, epistemic abundance is a constant challenge to those people whose function in society is to represent different facets of reality. Arguably the two most prominent professions regularly producing visual representations of the world – be they all-embracing or specific, systematic or seemingly random – are those of scientists and visual artists. In their professional universes, more often than not completely separate from one another, practitioners of science and of art try – and have tried in the past – to give form and order to the epistemological saturation around them. Or they strive, on the contrary, to represent precisely the irrepresentability of a multifaceted and seemingly inexhaustible reality. At the same time, we should not conceive of artists and scientists as purely reactive vis-à-vis the multiplication of available knowledge but, rather, consider their role also in bringing it about in the first place. The different strategies conceived for the visual representation (or denunciation) of information overload, as well as the sometimes unintentional creation of even more information along the way, will lie at the heart of the conference that Montreal will host in 2015, welcoming historians, art historians, historians of science and of ideas and scholars of related disciplines. While proposed papers for the conference should address the early modern period, sessions will be accompanied by respondents from the field of contemporary science and art, who will comment on the relevance of the historical example to our own time. In the artistic field, the aesthetic and epistemological strategies of contemporary artists and of painters and sculptors of the late Renaissance, Mannerism and the early Baroque indeed offer fertile ground for comparison, contrasting and mutual illumination. If one can convincingly tell the story of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century art as a series of attempts at visually representing knowledge and at repressing the unbearable complexity of such an enterprise—a narrative that this conference offers to verify and elaborate upon – one can arguably claim that art around 2000 is concerned by a surprisingly similar predicament and that, conversely, modernity in art has its roots in a relatively distant past. As for science and its own visual policies, the proliferation of images in contemporary cognitive science, amongst other fields, and the high expectations often attached to them, are reminiscent of a similar upsurge of the use of images in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century natural history, and the simultaneous rise of diagrammatical forms of representing and ordering knowledge. Visual strategies were used both to visualise epistemic objects and thus generate knowledge about them and to order and parse this knowledge. The concerns with "Big Data" in contemporary science also arguably have a precedent in the attempts of early modern scholars to gather and parse the huge amounts of information on all sorts of "natural particulars" (Grafton & Siraisi) that they gathered and shared through their correspondence networks. We invite proposals from the history of science, the history of art, and adjacent disciplines.

Voilà un des lieux communs les plus fréquemment utilisés pour caractériser ce début du XXIe siècle, à la fois dans le débat universitaire et dans l'imaginaire collectif. Comme souvent dans le cas des lieux communs, celui-ci comporte une part de vérité. L'ère d'Internet représente en effet, au moins d'un point de vue quantitatif, la plus formidable multiplication d'informations disponibles que l'humanité n'ait jamais vécue. Une grande partie de ces informations prend une forme visuelle : nous avons à notre disposition toujours plus d'images et de diagrammes représentant toutes sortes de choses, et nous souhaitons souvent – ce qui est peut-être un phénomène anthropologique plus général – donner un aspect visuel à des informations qui, à l'origine, ne s'adressent pas nécessairement au regard. Le caractère inédit du débordement épistémologique actuel mériterait cependant d'être relativisé. En effet, certaines périodes du passé ont connu des situations culturelles similaires si l'on considère, d'un côté, l'augmentation objective de la quantité d'informations disponibles et, de l'autre, le sentiment subjectif de vivre dans une époque de saturation épistémologique sans précédent. Un moment emblématique où de telles conditions ont été réunies sont les XVIe et XVIIe siècles en Europe, une période où l'expansion des connaissances géographiques côtoyait une activité scientifique accrue menant à la « Révolution Scientifique », concept aujourd'hui souvent contesté mais toujours bien ancré dans l'historiographie; une période d'intenses bouleversements esthétiques aussi. À cette époque, tout comme aujourd'hui, l'optimisme quant aux perspectives ouvertes par les nouveaux savoirs était inextricablement mêlé aux craintes d'avoir « trop à savoir » (« Too Much to Know », pour reprendre le titre de l'ouvrage fondamental d'Ann Blair) – ainsi qu'à la difficulté à comprendre, sélectionner et organiser des informations en quantité constamment croissante. À l'époque, comme aujourd'hui, les artistes et les chercheurs étaient à la pointe de l'entreprise visant à digérer et à discipliner le savoir – ou, à l'inverse, cherchant à dénoncer sa surabondance et à exprimer l'inévitable échec humain à organiser tout ce que l'on sait et à y donner un sens. À l'époque, comme aujourd'hui, les artistes et les érudits contribuaient, souvent à leur insu, à cette même copia qu'ils critiquaient si souvent. Le débordement épistémologique est un défi constant pour ces personnes dont la fonction sociale est de représenter différentes facettes de la réalité. Les deux professions qui sont appelées le plus souvent à fabriquer des représentations visuelles du monde – générales ou spécifiques, systématiques ou aléatoires – sont probablement les scientifiques et les artistes. Dans leurs univers professionnels, le plus souvent totalement séparés, les acteurs de la science et des arts plastiques cherchent – et cherchaient dans le passé – à donner forme et à organiser cette abondance épistémologique qui les entoure. Il arrive aussi qu'ils cherchent, au contraire, à représenter justement l'irreprésentabilité d'une réalité multiple et ostensiblement inépuisable. Cela dit, les artistes et les scientifiques sont loin d'être simplement réactifs vis-à-vis de la multiplication du savoir disponible; ils sont parmi les responsables de l'existence même de ce savoir, et ce rôle doit, lui aussi, être pris en compte. Les différentes stratégies conçues pour la représentation visuelle du débordement épistémologique seront au cœur de ce colloque organisé à Montréal en mai 2015, et qui accueillera des historiens, des historiens de l'art, des historiens de la science et des chercheurs de disciplines connexes. Si les propositions d'interventions doivent traiter de la première modernité (XVIe-XVIIe siècles), les séances seront quant à elles commentées par des répondants spécialistes de la science contemporaine et de l'art actuel, soulignant ainsi la pertinence de l'exemple historique pour les débats et la création à notre propre époque. Dans le domaine artistique, les stratégies esthétiques et épistémologiques des artistes contemporains et des peintres et sculpteurs de la Renaissance tardive, du maniérisme et du Baroque offrent, en effet, un terrain fécond de comparaisons. Si l'on peut raconter l'histoire de l'art à l'aube de l'âge moderne comme une série de tentatives pour représenter visuellement du savoir et refouler la complexité insupportable d'une telle entreprise – un récit que ce colloque cherchera à vérifier et à approfondir – l'art autour des années deux mille est concerné par un défi étonnamment analogue. Quant à la science et à ses propres politiques visuelles, la prolifération des images dans les sciences cognitives actuelles, parmi d'autres domaines, et les espoirs liés à ces représentations visuelles, rappellent des phénomènes semblables au sein de l'histoire naturelle aux XVIe et au XVIIe siècles ainsi que l'usage toujours plus fréquent, à l'époque, de diagrammes afin de représenter et d'organiser les savoirs. Des stratégies visuelles étaient utilisées à la fois pour figurer des objets épistémiques et ainsi produire du savoir sur ceux-ci et pour ordonner, classer et analyser ce savoir. Les questions autour du « Big Data » dans la science de nos jours auraient, elles aussi, des antécédents dans les tentatives d'assembler et d'analyser des informations sur toutes sortes de « particuliers naturels » (Grafton & Siraisi), recueillies par les érudits de la première modernité et propagées à travers leurs réseaux tentaculaires de correspondance. Nous invitons des propositions d'interventions en histoire de la science, histoire de l'art et d'autres disciplines proches.

University of Bergen 28-29 August 2014 In-Reply-To: Workshop: Paratext in Digital Culture: Is Paratext Becoming the Story? University of Bergen 28-29 August 2014 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS In december 2012, a one-day workshop Exploring Paratexts in Digital Contexts was organized at the University of Bergen by the Digital Culture Research Group. The point of departure of this first workshop was paratextual theory as it was first articulated by Gérard Genette in 1987 (Seuils / English translation Paratexts. Thresholds of Interpretation 1997). This event was followed by the book Examining Paratextual Theory and its Applications in Digital Culture edited by Nadine Desrochers and Daniel Apollon (forthcoming Spring 2014). These two initiatives have revealed a strong interest in the academic community for appraising the potential and limits of paratextual theory in digital culture. The Digital Culture and Electronic Literature Research Groups at UiB invite potential contributors and attendants to a new workshop Pasts, Presents and Futures of Paratext in Digital Culture: Is Paratext Becoming the Story? The goal of this workshop is to share ongoing research on paratextual devices, functions and strategies in digital culture and brainstorm about new research opportunities. The participants will explore further how paratext and related concepts may contribute to a better understanding of the nature and function of digital objects. KEYWORDS paratextual theory, paratext, digital culture, digital objects, digital literacy, multiliteracy, multimedia, digital content, electronic literature, digital art, remediation, digital materiality, ebooks, text technology, metadata, markup. HOW TO CONTRIBUTE TO THIS WORKSHOP? The submission and acceptance of an abstract is required. Attending participants without presentation are also welcome. This workshop is opened to all interested.

We’ll share it this summer — along with a small toolkit for continuing and expanding the "#codespeak" conversation, which we hope our participants and many other interested DH practitioners will find useful. Even before our productive and boundary-blurring conversations at “Speaking in Code,” I was cheered by the very fact of NEH (US-based National Endowment for the Humanities) support for a gathering of DH software developers — in itself, major recognition of the intellectual and interpretive nature of the craft.

But even this line, as Willard notes, was blurred, as a good percentage of the programmers held PhDs in humanities disciplines but had found coding / building a more satisfying way of doing humanistic work. And most of the faculty present were really interested in their code being a publication.

'Hidden Persuaders? Brainwashing, Culture, Clinical Knowledge and the Cold War Human Sciences c. 1950-1990'. Birkbeck University of London Post Doctoral Research Assistant, three year contract, starting 1 October 2014 Birkbeck University of London, Department of History, Classics and Archaeology We are seeking to appoint a Post Doctoral Research Assistant to work on a Wellcome-funded project, entitled 'Hidden Persuaders? Brainwashing, Culture, Clinical Knowledge and the Cold War Human Sciences c. 1950-1990'. This project asks why 'brainwashing' erupted into public consciousness in the postwar period and investigates where such practices, and cultural fears led. Visions of unconscious suggestibility are older, but 'brainwashing' debates, after 1950, profoundly affected the way we understand the psychic lives of individuals and 'mass psychology', and the role of states, and commerce. The successful candidate will assume responsibility for a designated research area (and publication) within the broad framework described above, and will be encouraged to produce academic publications of their own based on their work on the project. Applications are especially welcomed from academics with prior knowledge of the history of psychoanalysis, psychiatry and/or psychology. Some previous familiarity with post-war political and/or cultural history would also be an asset. A working knowledge of one or more languages other than English; e.g. Russian, German or French would be useful, as would facility in one or more Asian languages (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Khmer or Malay). Starting Salary: £34,650 per annum inclusive of London Allowance. The closing date for completed applications is 9 June 2014.

Digital Labour and Karl Marx. New York: Routledge. ISBN 978-0-415-71615-4.

In Digital Labour and Karl Marx, Christian Fuchs attempts to answer that question, crafting a systematic critical theorisation of labour as performed in the capitalist ICT industry. The book ''Digital Labour and Karl Marx'' shows that labour, class and exploitation are not concepts of the past, but are at the heart of computing and the Internet in capitalist society. It argues that we therefore need an engagement with Karl Marx’s theory to understand digital and social media today. The work argues that our use of digital media is grounded in old and new forms of exploited labour. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Weibo and other social media platforms are the largest advertising agencies in the world. They do not sell communication, but advertising space. And for doing so, they exploit users, who work without payment for social media companies and produce data that is used for targeting advertisements. The book presents case studies that show that users’ activities on corporate social media is just one form of digital labour. Their usage is enabled by the labour of slaves and other highly exploited workers extracting minerals in developing countries, hardware assemblers in China, California and other parts of the world who face extremely hard working conditions that remind us of the industrial labour that Karl Marx described in 19th century Britain, low paid software engineers and information service workers in developing countries who provide labour for transnatio nal ICT companies in the West, highly paid and highly stressed software engineers at Google and other Western ICT companies, or e-waste workers who disassemble computers under toxic conditions. The case studies in Fuchs’ book show that the profitability of ICT companies is built on the lives and deaths of a global class of exploited workers whose labour is anonymously connected an international division of digital labour. Christian Fuchs, ''Production and use of digital media are embedded into multiple forms of exploitation. The information society is first and foremost a capitalist class society. The only solution is that we become conscious as a new working class and find ways to overcome the realities of exploitation''. CONTENTS PART I Theoretical Foundations of Studying Digital Labour 1.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 12 May 2014 06:35:06 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: reactionary responses Some here will already know Ryan Cordell's defense of digital humanities against the castigations of critics, "On ignoring encoding" (http://ryan.cordells.us/blog/2014/05/08/on-ignoring-encoding/). Cordell aims in particular at Adam Kirsch, "Technology is taking over English departments", in The New Republic, to which he links. He also summons articles by Ted Underwood, "The stone and the shell", and by Glen Worthy, "Why are such terrible things written about DH?" Yes, as Underwood has said from an American perspective, "Hey, you haven't really arrived till you get attacked in TNR". But the attack is more interesting than that and has a sting I don't see recorded in the exchanges. The stinger himself does not seem to realise it's there, possibly because he'd have to take the subject he is attacking much more seriously and comprehensively than he has. Part of this sting lies in the fact that the attack is reactionary, which raises the question of what it is reacting to. I'd say it's a reaction (but no more than that) to the trivial pseudo-revolutionary bandwagon next-new-thing hoohah that's been going on in various venues for some time. Nice to be cheered, but cheers may (as they have in this case) invite boos. Mob illogic. And this part leads to the rest of the sting. Worthy notes that Kirsch's fear (that digital humanities is taking over English departments) is "pure paranoia". Recently, in Humanist 28.8, I noted another paranoid reaction, also of the taking-over kind, and commented on its eerie summons of the Luddite Cold War paranoia some of us older ones thought had been safely buried (while some of us younger ones didn't even know was underfoot). But the living dead has emerged in Kirsch's piece and elsewhere. The sting is that its re-emergence signals our lack of history. I've argued in as prominent a place as I could find -- itself (forgive me for the self-publicizing) to re-emerge shortly in LLC -- that this paranoia is a treasure because it is evidence for an historical argument which could put us on far quieter and firmer footing among the other disciplines, not valued because of the noise and confetti but because we have something to say that strikes caressingly to the roots of the humanities. Because all this seems to be going on in the U.S., I would hope that someone there -- the ACLS, for example? -- would see to it that we get more than missiles fired back and forth at a safe distance. How about a public forum, face-to-face, then published in, say, Daedalus or Critical Inquiry? And please let's climb out of the English department subculture, as generous as that may be. Comments?

Once such, which I cannot recommend strongly enough, is Alfred W. Crosby, The Measure of Reality: Quantification and Western Society 1250-1600 (Cambridge 1997).

Crosby, The Measure of Reality: Quantification and Western Society 1250-1600 (Cambridge 1997) -- a work hitherto unknown to me -- sent me to (a) the library catalogue and (b) Google for reviews. The latter reveal how difficult/risky it is for scholars to embark on works which have a long historical sweep and/or grand themes. The standard specialist response is generally a variation of the old trope that "if one is skating on thin ice it is best to go quickly". Thus Theodore M. Porter writes in his review ( https://muse.jhu.edu/journals/technology_and_culture/v039/39.3br_crosby.html) "Even more than in his previous work, [Crosby] defies all provincialism. This is a book about the late medieval and Renaissance period with no evidence of research in Latin, or indeed any language but English, and very little reliance on primary sources. His use of scholarship is spotty and idiosyncratic. His reading in the history of technology and science shows a marked preference for older studies. He does not even nod to the outpouring of work in the last two decades on the history of quantification since 1600. His grand argument has yawning gaps. The link between quantification and imperialism he takes largely for granted. Supposing he is right about the medieval origins of a quantitative mentality, he provides no elaboration of how it mattered beyond a nod to the well-worn Weberian tropes of rationalization and bureaucratization. Although the book purports to be about broad shifts of thinking, mentalités, virtually all its evidence relates to elite philosophers and artists." Ouch! J. D. Parr, reviewing the book in The Bulletin of Historical Research in Music Education (Vol. 20, No. 1, September 1998, pp. 63-68) tries a different approach -- damning with faint praise. Consider, for example, this passage: "Using exhaustive research techniques and the clever wit of a prized journalist Crosby attempts to investigate the causes of this epochal change in attitude among Europeans - literally the 'how, when, why and where' of this new perspective toward rationality. He succeeds brilliantly on three counts, but despite his persistence with claiming a solution to the 'why question', the evidence is simply not there. It would appear that this more philosophical than cliometrical dilemma will have to be solved through the field of psychohistory and group or individual personality analysis." I particularly enjoyed "the clever wit of a prized journalist". JN ...

Taking as its point of departure the transformed and expanded relationship between photography and architecture, this session explores whether the digital era has really produced a paradigm shift, or if the scope of photography's engagement of architecture has always been more broad and diverse than previous orthodoxies have supposed? Will these contemporary approaches and techniques offer new frames of reference for recasting and re-examining earlier encounters between photography and architecture?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 09:26:27 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: measures of Crosby's attempt My thanks to John McNaughton in Humanist 28.18 for checking the reviews of Crosby's The Measure of Reality and finding criticism one must not ignore. I let my enthusiasms carry me away; though the reviews show I'm not alone in this, there's a lesson to be learned. Some books one can lean on, e.g. G.E.R. Lloyd's The Ideals of Inquiry, meticulously argued with elegant caution. Crosby's "unusual and exciting book... [making] a few questionable claims" (Edward Grant in Isis 88.3), perhaps more than a few, and not trivial ones, apparently is one of many exceptions, though as a quick trawl through JSTOR shows the reviews are a mixed lot. The most interesting comment I found was Roger Hart's "The Great Explanandum", in The American Historical Review 105.2, which concludes as follows: > The shortcomings of Crosby's Measure of Reality are representative of > the problems of an entire genre of historiography written in the > twentieth century.... with the Great Explanandum--the known > uniqueness of the West--as the given starting point.... One task for > critical history, then, must be to analyze the rhetorics, ideologies, > and academic disciplines that authorized this particular genre of > world history.... Why spend more time on this book here? The chief reason I can see is to focus on one of the obvious dangers in interdisciplinary explorations: taking work in a field out of the critical context of that field. I would not want to think that poetic language and vertiginous scope are danger signals, that only sober caution is to be trusted. After all Lloyd's many books have such scope, and I can think of other fine books whose language thrills. In this case, however, there is a prominent danger-signal (which I should not have glossed over): Crosby's use of the term mentalité. But again it helps enormously to know how this word has been used esp in anthropology since Lévy-Bruhl and in historiography. Here Lloyd has been very effective, esp in Demystifying Mentalities (1990). Book reviews are an obvious way to go, though of course a strong negative vote across the discipline(s) concerned is not necessarily definitive. Disciplines do tend to be very conservative. Then, too, depending on the use one makes of work borrowed from another discipline, a book may have considerable value in its new context. Two examples of this that come to mind are G. R. Levy's The Gate of Horn: A study of the religious conceptions of the stone age, and their influence upon European thought (1963) and Robert Graves' The White Goddess: A Historical Grammar of Poetic Myth (1948), both most valuable in the context of literary criticism, esp as Northrop Frye practiced it. But one does have to be aware of what one is taking on and where it might lead into what sort of thickets. Comments?

Day of DH has been a centerNet initiative since 2012. MATRIX at Michigan State University has hosted Day of DH for two great years, and centerNet is accepting proposals for the next Digital Humanities center to host this worldwide event. So, now we need a new server and a group of dedicated people to continue the tradition. We are asking for a TWO YEAR hosting commitment for 2015 and 2016. MATRIX has graciously agreed to provide mentoring to the new center. Your center will need to meet these basic requirements: - install and directly manage a robust, high traffic multi-user WordPress/BuddyPress installation - create and manage your own domains - have in-house programming support to customize the look and feel of the WordPress/BuddyPress installation - be a paying member of centerNet. For more information on membership, see http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/join/ If you are interested, please send your 1 page proposal detailing your technical and managerial capacity to centerNet’s International Secretary, Jean Bauer (jean_bauer@brown.edu), by June 30, 2014. Bauer can read proposals in English, Spanish, or French. We will choose and announce the new Day of DH 2015 + 2016 hosting center at DH2014. centerNet is expanding Day of DH into a truly international event with accompanying events. Last June we sponsored the first DíaHD (Día de las Humanidades Digitales) for Spanish and Portuguese, hosted by Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). If you have proposals for another linguistic or regional group please let us know. http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/host-day-of-dh/ -- Neil Fraistat Professor of English & Director Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) 0301 Hornbake Library North University of Maryland 301-405-5896 or 301-314-7111 (fax) http://www.mith.umd.edu/ https://twitter.com/fraistat _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 28DCA63CD; Thu, 15 May 2014 02:35:43 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 754D463BF; Thu, 15 May 2014 02:35:34 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 060A463BF; Thu, 15 May 2014 02:35:32 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140515003533.060A463BF@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 02:35:32 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.22 jobs at Oxford and Cambridge; postdoc at Leiden; NEH grants for collections & resources X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 22.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 07:25:11 -0700 From: Quinn Dombrowski Subject: DiRT receives grant for partnerships with Commons In A Box, DHCommons The University of California, Berkeley (http://digitalhumanities.berkeley.edu) and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York (http://www.gc.cuny.edu) are pleased to announce that the Mellon Foundation has generously provided a $150,000 grant to fund a partnership between the DiRT (Digital Research Tools) Directory ( http://dirt.projectbamboo.org), Commons In A Box (http://commonsinabox.org/), and the DHCommons project directory (http://dhcommons.org) that will develop APIs to link these initiatives, providing new ways for scholars and students to connect with digital research tools. For scholars who work with digital tools and methodologies, directories like DiRT are essential guides to the broad range of digital humanities tools that are available to meet various research and pedagogical needs. DiRT provides users with the prompt “I need a digital research tool to…” and offers a variety of options, ranging from “visualize data” and “make a dynamic map” to “manage bibliographic information” and “publish and share information”. After choosing an activity, the scholar is presented with a list of tools that they can narrow down based on parameters like platform and cost. When selecting a tool, scholars often weigh factors including what other projects are using the tool and which communities of expertise can provide support. Connecting DiRT directory to DHCommons and to the Commons In A Box platform–which powers an increasing number of scholarly community hubs such as MLA Commons and NYC Digital Humanities–will make it easier for scholars to connect with others who are using DH tools. “Developing publicly available APIs for DiRT and DHCommons will allow us not only to contextualize tools by showing the projects that use them, but also to open up the rich data sets stored in these directories for scholarly inquiry,” said project director Quinn Dombrowski (UC Berkeley). “Enabling people to explore digital research tools within the Commons In A Box platform and to connect with communities of practice around those tools will lower the barrier to entry for scholars who are new to digital humanities,” she added. “The DiRT Directory is a robust resource that provides important information about DH tools,” Commons In A Box Director Matthew K. Gold added. “We think that integrating information about DiRT tools into CBOX profile pages will make it easier for users of those tools to connect with and learn from one another.” As part of this initiative, the DiRT directory (formerly Bamboo DiRT) will also be redesigned and relaunched at dirtdirectory.org in July 2014. All tool entries will be updated to use TaDiRAH taxonomy terms ( https://github.com/dhtaxonomy/TaDiRAH).

More and more documents are being transliterated, digitized, and made available for study with digital tools. Scholarship ranges from translation to interpretation, from syntactic analysis to multi-corpus synthesis of patterns and ideas. Underlying much of humanities scholarship is the activity of annotation. Annotation of the "aboutness" of documents and entities ranges from linguistic markup, to structural and semantic relations, to subjective commentary; annotation of "activity" around documents and entities includes scholarly workflows, analytic processes, and patterns of influence among a community of scholars. Sharable annotations and collaborative environments support scholarly discourse, facilitating traditional practices and enabling new ones. The focus of this workshop is on the tools and environments that support annotation, broadly defined, including modeling, authoring, analysis, publication and sharing. We will explore shared challenges and differing approaches, seeking to identify emerging best practices, as well as those approaches that may have potential for wider application or influence. == Call We invite contributions related to the intersection of theory, design, and implementation, emphasizing a "big-picture" view of architectural, modeling and integration approaches in digital humanities. Submissions are encouraged that discuss data and tool reuse, and that explore what the most successful levels are for reusing the products of a digital humanities project (complete systems? APIs? plugins/modules? data models?). Submissions discussing an individual project should focus on these larger questions, rather than primarily reporting on the project's activities. This workshop is a forum in which to consider the connections and influences between DH annotation tools and environments, and the tools and models used in other domains, that may provide new approaches to the challenges we face. It is also a locus for the discussion of emerging standards and practices such as OAC (Open Annotation Collaboration) and Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums (LODLAM). == Submission procedures Papers should be submitted at www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dhcase2014. An abstract of up to 400 words must be submitted by June 1st, and the deadline for full papers (6 to 8 pages) is June 8, 2014. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee and selected external reviewers. Papers must follow the ACM SIG Proceedings format. Up to three papers of exceptional quality/impact will be invited to submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages) for inclusion in the DocEng 2014 conference proceedings. == Key dates: June 1 Abstracts due (400 words max) June 8 Full workshop papers due June 30 Notification of acceptance to workshop. Up to 3 papers may be invited to submit extended abstracts Sept. 16 Workshop == Length and Format of Workshop DH-CASE is a full day workshop. Authors of accepted papers will have time to present their research/project, followed by a discussion of emerging themes, best practices, and the potential for integration or collaboration. We will summarize the workshop and discussion to the broader DocEng community during the conference. It is planned that proceedings will be published via the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series. Workshop organizers will produce and submit a paper to "Digital Humanities Quarterly" (www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/) summarizing topics that arise in the workshop. We may consider a special issue on workshop topics or key findings to an appropriate journal. == Workshop Organization The DH-CASE II workshop is organized by Patrick Schmitz, Dr. Laurie Pearce, and Quinn Dombrowski (U.C. Berkeley). The workshop is sponsored by U.C. Berkeley Research IT.

The first camp will be held 6-10 October at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum, the Netherlands. The Talk of Europe (TOE) project is curating the proceedings of European Parliament (EP) from 1996 onwards, available in 21 languages, and converting these to RDF. Moreover, the data are enriched with biographical and political information on the speakers. Since the data are available in multilingual form, this dataset lends itself to be linked with resources in other European countries, such as parliamentary records or news reports. The RDF dataset and a SPARQL endpoint will be made available in September 2014. The creative camp intends to bring together developers and academic researchers, with the goal of making inventive use of the EP dataset, exploiting web and natural language processing techniques to add new knowledge and functionality to the dataset. The goal is to develop proof-of-concept tools that can be applied in scholarly research in the political sciences and humanities. The event will comprise five consecutive days, which will include 1) presentations by humanities scholars and political scientists on how they use political datasets, 2) presentations by computer scientists showing best practices from other projects and 3) practical sessions for tool development. SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS In order to participate, the TOE organisers welcome proposals describing ambitions for research tools and/or links with other datasets. Submissions should describe the following: - General description of idea (should not exceed 1000 words) including: - The research tool to be developed. - The datasets to be used. - The scholarly research problem or question to be addressed. - Contact info and a short description of research interests for all participants who would like to attend. - A work plan to indicate feasibility of proof-of-concept creation in 5 days. - A description of how the tool will be made available after the creative camp. For inspiration, please see www.talkofeurope.eu/cfp/inspiration. To submit a proposal, please send a docx or pdf file to kemman@eshcc.eur.nlbefore 20 June 2014.

Please email Heather Scott to register for Skype attendance. Seminar abstracts. From Digital Surrogates to Digital Originals Speaker: Nick Hiley (British Cartoon Archive, University of Kent) The British Cartoon Archive has been digitising its holdings since 1990, and archiving digital originals since 2011. This presentation looks at the challenges faced in creating digital images from physical objects, and in moving to digitally-created originals. From Digital Images to Digital Research Speaker: James Baker (BL Labs, British Library) Digital images can be used for much more than discovery. With the appropriate metadata or means of querying patterns within the image, corpora of images can be analysed at scale revealing patterns that may not be easy to spot through close examination of small hand-crafted collections of images. Not every digital image, however, can be treated in the same way. And so this talk will explore how the creation of digital images can shape and constrain the research that is possible with digital images; how as a result of how they are made, 'digital images' is a broad category of primary source material containing many, often very different, types of research object.

The Humanities Korea (HK) research team of the Korean Studies Institute (KSI) at Pusan National University (Busan, Korea) has been undertaking a project called "Locality and Humanities," supported by National Research Foundation of Korea and Pusan National University since 2007. In 2011 we decided to publish an international journal, Localities, in hopes of communicating and exchanging prospects, theories, and methodologies of humanities-based locality studies with domestic and foreign scholars and activists. Localities has been serving as a forum in which scholars around the world can share results of their humanities-based locality studies and relevant discursive arguments. Some of the scholars who participated in this project include Walter Mignolo, Arif Dirlik, Jeff Malpas, Fujio Mizuoka, Takahiro Nakajima, Jacques Levy, Thierry Paquot, and Angelika Epple. Please widely circulate the Call for Papers attached here. We hope that many of you may join us in this exciting project by submitting your articles! Please check the attached files that contain the detail of the Call for Papers.   All the best to all of you.  Ezra Yoo-Hyeok Lee.    Call for Papers: the 4th issue of Localities Localities is an interdisciplinary journal aimed at developing new theories and practices in the humanities and related disciplines, with an emphasis on local people, society, culture, and nature. It seeks to highlight various aspects of newly emerging relations occurring on the level of the local and the global as well as the national. People, commodities, and knowledge can move across/beyond diverse forms of boundaries due to the rapid development of information technology and the intensification of globalization. New theories and practices in the humanities are required to explain such trans-phenomena and also to suggest possible solutions to socio-economic, cultural, political, and environmental problems resulting from the transnational and trans-local dissemination of people, commodities, knowledge, etc. We welcome innovative or critical articles dealing with specific topics, including trans-locality, multiculturalism, hybridity, “in-betweenness,”and post-humanism, and also theoretical ones on basic theories and methodologies of locality or trans-locality. 1.

I’m even happier to be able to take this opportunity to thank everyone in SIGCIS for your generous and critical engagement, and for providing a rich and stimulating environment for all of us to work together. Some details about my book are below. Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing many of you in Dearborn this fall! Andy --------------------------- Andrew L. Russell Open Standards and the Digital Age: History, Ideology, and Networks (Cambridge University Press, 2014) available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats http://www.arussell.org/open How did openness become a foundational value for the networks of the twenty-first century? Open Standards and the Digital Age answers this question through an interdisciplinary history of information networks that pays close attention to the politics of standardization. For much of the twentieth century, information networks such as the monopoly Bell System and the American military's Arpanet were closed systems subject to centralized control. In the 1970s and 1980s, however, engineers in the United States and Europe experimented with design strategies to create new digital networks. In the process, they embraced discourses of "openness" to describe their ideological commitments to entrepreneurship, technological innovation, and participatory democracy. The rhetoric of openness has flourished - for example, in movements for open government, open source software, and open access publishing - but such rhetoric also obscures the ways the Internet and other "open" systems still depend heavily on hierarchical forms of control. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Ideological origins of open standards I: telegraph and engineering standards, 1860s–1900s 3. Ideological origins of open standards II: American standards, 1910s–1930s 4. Standardization and the monopoly Bell System, 1880s–1930s 5. Critiques of centralized control, 1930s–1970s 6. International standards for the convergence of computers and communications, 1960s–1970s 7. Open systems and the limits of democratic design, 1970s–1980s 8. The Internet and the advantages of autocratic design, 1970s–1990s 9. Conclusions: open standards and an open world. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 698DE640E; Thu, 15 May 2014 22:28:11 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 805522F3F; Thu, 15 May 2014 22:28:03 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A51892F19; Thu, 15 May 2014 22:28:01 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20140515202801.A51892F19@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 15 May 2014 22:28:01 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.26 job at HATII (Glasgow) X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 26.

Also, please note that the CFP deadline has been extended to June 15, and that we are again providing a $400 best graduate student paper award. -------------- CFP: Nodes & Networks in the Humanities: Geometries, Relationships, Processes September 12-13, 2014 Lawrence, Kansas Keynote Speakers * Isabel Meirelles, Northeastern University, http://isabelmeirelles.com/ * Steven Jones, Loyola University Chicago, http://stevenejones.org/ * Scott Weingart, Indiana University, http://www.scottbot.net/ The network has emerged as a powerful model in humanities scholarship in recent years. It is used as a visualization and analytic tool to explore objects, ideas or events and their relationships; as a method to discover, link and create new resources and data; and as a social structure through which we conduct our scholarly and social lives and develop our self-identity. Our digital objects, and our digital selves, all exist in "the Net." As Elijah Meeks argues, "The network is not a social network or geographic network or logical network but rather a primitive object capable of and useful for the modeling and analysis of relationships between a wide variety of objects." KU’s 2014 Digital Humanities Forum will explore these and related topics in a full conference day on Saturday, September 13, which will follow a full day of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on September 12. We welcome proposals for papers, posters, panel sessions and workshops on topics from your own research that relate to some aspects of nodes and networks, such as: * network visualizations or network analysis tools and methods that further humanistic research; * the human and processes of identity in the networked environment; * how nodes and networks have descriptive and explanatory power in humanistic research (and are not just DH fetish objects) * dynamics of multidimensional data; * social media and networks; * new scholarship through the use of human or machine networks (e.g. crowdsourcing, linked open data); * collaborative scholarly networks across space, time and disciplinary knowledge; * innovative developments in scholarly communication in a networked world (altmetrics, open peer review, collaborative authoring); * the implications for humanities scholarship and pedagogy in a global, digitally networked world; * prosopographical approaches to history illuminating spatial, temporal, conceptual or other networked relationships, * and related topics. DH Forum best student paper award: Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. One student presentation will be selected for an award based on the quality, originality, clarity of the written abstract, along with its alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The awardee will be presented with a check for $400 and award certificate at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the award. For a paper to be eligible, at least fifty percent of the research reported in the paper must be performed by one or more student authors, and the student must be the primary presenter of the paper at the conference. Please submit abstracts of 500 words maximum at: https://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2014 Proposal Deadline: June 15 Questions may be directed to the Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities, idrh@ku.edu Arienne Dwyer & Brian Rosenblum, Co-Directors <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Brian Rosenblum Co-Director, Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities Head, Center for Faculty Initiatives and Engagement University of Kansas Libraries Room 450, Watson Library | 1425 Jayhawk Blvd. | Lawrence, KS 66045-7537 Ph.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 18 May 2014 12:22:06 -0600 From: Geoffrey Rockwell Subject: Studying models Dear Willard, Regarding your question about the study of models - if you consider metadata as a model then Franco Moretti and Matt Jockers have been studying models of literature. Here is Moretti in “Network Theory, Plot Analysis” (Distant Reading, 2013) about studying metadata, “once you make a network of a play, you stop working on the play proper, and work on a model instead. You reduce the text to characters and interactions, abstract them from everything else.” Matt Jockers has a chapter in _Macroanalysis_ that explicitly discusses the opportunities and dangers of the analysis of metadata (Chapter 5.) Going back further we should consider John Smith’s theory of how computers can be used to study literature in "Computer Criticism." STYLE XII.4 (1978): 326-56. My read of this is that he proposes that we can use algorithms or manual encoding to create layers that represent structures in the text. These layers would be like the layer of imagery that he extracts and discusses in "Image and Imagery in Joyce's Portrait: A Computer-Assisted Analysis." Directions in Literary Criticism: Contemporary Approaches to Literature. Eds. Weintraub, Stanley and Philip Young. University Park, PA: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1973. 220-27. Smith doesn’t call these models, but I think they are a form of surrogate that can be studied and compared to other surrogates. In “Computer Criticism” he shows some visualizations of extracted features that show some of the innovative ways (in the 1970s) he was modelling texts. For that matter, if we go back to T. C. Mendenhall’s article in _Science_ “The Characteristic Curves of Composition” (1887), he “proposed to analyze a composition by forming what may be called a ‘word spectrum,’ or ‘characteristic curve,’ which shall be a graphic representation of an arrangement of words according to their length and to the relative frequency of their occurrence." (p. 238) These manually computed curves could then be compared as a way of comparing models of the writing style of authors. Perhaps I am stretching what you consider a model, but I believe there is a long tradition of using a combination of manual and automatic methods to take the measure of a text so as to produce a surrogate that can be studied, manipulated, visualized, and compared.

Yes, when one builds a model there are stretches of time when your focus is on that model. These temporal stretches lengthen. Conventional wisdom on modelling insists one must never forget you're dealing with a model, not with reality (conceived as something other than a model, unconstructed, "out there" to be studied, solid enough to bruise your toe if you kick it or, as Hacking says, real enough to be sprayed). But I was asking about any situations in which the constructed model takes over more or less completely from the modelled object -- no cycling back to the original to check things out, no comparing to see how well the modelling has approximated reality, since the model has become the studied reality. There are certainly situations in the social sciences in which details of that which is modelled cannot be observed directly. Note, however, that a friend of mine at the Santa Fe Institute, a mathematician who studies complex systems, says that these days "we use both" such simulations and analytic methods for which the object of study is in central vision. (Let us beware of semantic spread and so loss of power of meaning, when "model" becomes anything at all, a concept, an argument etc. For our purposes, esp for mine here, let's confine "model" to something made of software or some other lego-, Mechano- or tinkertoy-like components: something that runs and can be manipulated.) Let us say that hard work has won you total confidence in your model. Everything that can be known about the object is in the model. You're confident of that. Let's say you're right. But then on the basis of this model you can make inferences otherwise impossible. These inferences, let us say, check out, make sense, hold up. They become what one knows. Any examples of that happening in the humanities and interpretative social sciences? There are loads of examples in the natural sciences. I don't think this is an hypothesis about alternative realities, parallel worlds and the like. But it would seem very like counterfactual history, for example. It would seem to be about an assimilation of the computational that enlarges not contracts our intellectual life. More?

I understood this in a slightly different way to how you seem to be taking it. I don't regard the model as a 'surrogate' but as a template for the surrogate; as a class, not an instance. 'Modelling' is often talked about in the context of finding out how to mark up a text, to determine which codes will be needed to express what the editor wishes to record. But a model is not the actual codes per se. Studying a surrogate is like studying an actual artefact through the filter of its representation; studying a model is trying to understand what makes a text tick. Is this, perhaps, a distinction worth making?

The one obvious model that we have in literary studies is what we know (or think we know) about literature and literary history from the tons of paper covered with traditional interpretation, categorization, periodization... Matt Jockers says it very clearly in his "Macroanalysis" when he calls this traditional knowledge "anecdotal" in the sense that our view of, say, the Victorian novel has so far been based on several dozen "canonical" books by "canonical" writers rather than on the whole body of novel-writing in that time (thousands of titles). I don't think he's making fun of extant scholarship; what he wants is a reevaluation of the model now that we have the tools (or we're starting to believe we might have the tools) to take a broader (if more distant) look. BTW, it does not cease to amaze me how well traditional literary periodization seems to do in tests of its MODEL based on such "insignificant" features as most frequent word frequencies.

For researchers already involved in digital humanities the conference will be a great opportunity to share knowledge and meet potential project partners. For those new to digital humanities the conference will provide a platform to get acquainted with both experienced and beginning researchers. Conference programme The conference organisers have put together an exciting programme. It focuses on all aspects of digital humanities in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. Exchanging information is a major goal of the conference. Therefore, the conference is packed with parallel sessions and short, 15-minute presentations. The conference dinner on 12th June will be followed by a poster session. In other words: plenty of time for networking and for gaining a quick overview of the field. Melissa Terras Keynote speaker Professor Melissa Terras, Director of University College London, will put the conference programme in an international context. She is a leading digital humanities researcher and has been working in the field since the 1990s. She has participated in digital humanities developments from ‘virtual reality’ via ‘digital imaging’ to using computer technology to enable innovative research. Organisation The organising committee of DH Benelux comprises Marijn Koolen (University of Amsterdam), Mike Kestemont (University Antwerp), Karina van Dalen-Oskam (Huygens ING) and Steven Claeyssens (Koninklijke Bibliotheek, National Library of the Netherlands). The conference venue is the KB building, which houses both the Huygens ING and the National Library. It is conveniently located right next to the Central Train Station in The Hague, a thirty-minute train ride from Schiphol airport. The conference is in English. You can register for the conference until 1 June by means of the DHBenelux registration form, http://dhbenelux.org/registration-dh-benelux-2014/.

That said, I doubt even the most positivist social scientists would argue "Everything that can be known about the object is in the model" - a map as big as that territory would be unfathomably large in our present historical & digital moment. An early example that fits your definition of model might be Schelling's segregation model from the early 1970s. Schelling, a sociologist, built a few simple simulations of neighborhood dynamics. Simply, people of one color would move to another location of n% of their neighbors were not the same color as them. It turned out that this percent could get quite low and racial segregation would still occur - for example, if each individual only 50% of their neighbors to be the same color as them, complete segregation would still occur in fairly short order. Schelling used this to show, not how neighborhoods actually operated, but that an intent of segregation was not necessary to cause segregated communities - it could happen naturally under fairly relaxed conditions. Similar types of simulations have been picked up by sociologists, archaeologists, philosophers, and even some historians (especially military historians). For example, Patrick Grim, a philosopher, uses these types of simulations to show how different communication network structures lead to different styles of collaboration and information diffusion. Other models are used to show whether it was strategies or sheer force or luck which led to certain key military victories, or the extent to which societies relied on a particular resource, and so forth. It is very much entwined with counterfactual history, although departs from it in some key aspects. "But then on the basis of this model you can make inferences otherwise impossible. These inferences, let us say, check out, make sense, hold up. They become what one knows." This is the case in each of the examples above, but I doubt any of the people on the projects actually believe the model is equivalent to everything they know about reality, or even that the model itself is the "bottom" of the object of study. The model is simply there to do (usually) one of two things: show whether a hypothesis is sufficient to explain an observed affect (without necessarily saying it *was so*), or to make a prediction/postdiction/interpolation/etc. to infer something about human interactions that we lack the evidence to observe directly. Fittingly, these areas of study are also, usually, where the boundaries between the humanities and the social science blur. As your friend from Santa Fe suggests, both the observations and the model are important, and I think people using models in these ways on both side of the aisle are deeply aware they draw from each when embarking on these studies.

In other words, a formal representation containing variables vs constants. In this sense, any technology we use is a model that affects the way we can process the information conveyed by the objects we represent and we treat as information carriers. But there is a more general epistemological point of view, according to which we can only approach an object through a perceptual model. So I would rephrase Willard's statement this way: "one must never forget you're ALWAYS dealing with a model, not with reality", contrary to the assumptions of naïve realism, so common among natural scientists.

You may want to consider a related chapter that appears in the recent anthology edited by Brett D. Hirsch and published by Open Book Publishers, Digital Humanities Pedagogy: Practices, Principles and Politics: Joshua Sternfeld. "Pedagogical Principles of Digital Historiography." pp. 265-290. Accessed: http://www.openbookpublishers.com/reader/161. While the article doesn't focus solely on video gaming, it does address in a broader context many of the same issues raised by Professor Trépanier, specifically the pedagogical intersection of historiography, new media theory, and information studies. The piece includes a sample syllabus, and I can attest that I had students who selected an historically-themed video game for their final research project.

They provide the basis upon which to invest, to innovate and to gain global market share in an increasingly competitive world. Thus, standardisation is crucial to boost private investment in innovative goods and services. How can cooperation among standardisation organisations and the scientific and academic community contribute here? How can we define and measure quality of standards in different areas? What methods can be used in predicting of success of a standard in the market? While the developed countries have long been leaders in international standardisation, transitional and developing countries remain largely passive and reap far less benefits than they could. The role of standards in the development of the global knowledge economy is significant. For example, standards are a basis for the transfer of new technologies. This is of particular relevance for transitional countries. Unfortunately, the activities of the scientific and academic community in this area are still inadequate. How can cooperation among standardisation organisation, scientific and academic community contribute to achieving technology catch up in transitional countries? Standardisation in relation to science, research, knowledge development and knowledge transfer demand academic reflection from different angles. The EURAS 2014 conference seeks to receive academic papers on the above theme. Sample paper topics include: * Standardisation and Europe's research and innovation agenda * Standards as a driver for innovation * Standardisation and IPR * The role of standardisation in removing barriers to trade * Standards and knowledge transfer * Impact of standards and standardisation * Quality of standards * National or international policy and standardisation * Relationship between standardisation and legislation * Role of industry and their associations in standardisation * Standardisation via industry consortia * History of standardisation * Standardisation processes Standards and conformity assessment EURAS conferences provide a platform for those interested in standardisation research. Therefore, other standardisation papers not specifically related to the conference theme are also welcome. Full papers (up to 30 double spaced pages; rtf. .doc or .docx format) should be submitted to Kai Jakobs at Kai.Jakobs@cs.rwth-aachen.de. Authors of accepted papers are expected to serve as discussants upon request. All papers will be reviewed (double blind) by members of the Programme Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as part of the ?EURAS Contributions to Standardisation Research? book series. Particularly good and relevant papers will be fast-tracked to the International Journal of IT Standards and Standardization Research (JITSR). For more detailed information please consult the EURAS website (www.EURAS.org).

This new volume will be arranged in three sections, that address one of three different aspects of internet research: foundations, futures, and critiques. Each of these meta-themes will have its own section of the new handbook. Foundations will approach a method, a theory, a perspective, a topic or field that has been and is still a location of significant internet research. These chapters will engage with the current and historical scholarly literature through extended reviews and also as a way of developing insights into the internet and internet research. Futures will engage with the directions the field of internet research might take over the next five years. These chapters will engage current methods, topics, perspectives, or fields that will expand and re-invent the field of internet research, particularly in light of emerging social and technological trends. The material for these chapters will define the topic they describe within the framework of internet research so that it can be understand as a place of future inquiry. Critique chapters will define and develop critical positions in the field of internet research. They can engage a theoretical perspective, a methodological perspective, a historical trend or topic in internet research and provide a critical perspective. These chapters might also define one type of critical perspective, tradition, or field in the field of internet research. We value the way in which this call for papers will itself shape the contents, themes, and coverage of the Handbook. We encourage potential authors to present abstracts that will consolidate current internet research, critically analyse its directions past and future, and re-invent the field for the decade to come. Contributions about the internet and internet research are sought from scholars in any discipline, and from many points of view. We therefore invite internet researchers working within the fields of communication, culture, politics, sociology, law and privacy, aesthetics, games and play, surveillance and mobility, amongst others, to consider contributing to the volume. Initially, we ask scholars and researchers to submit an 500 word abstract detailing their own chapter for one of the three sections outlined above. The abstract must follow the format presented below. After the initial round of submissions, there may be a further call for papers and/or approaches to individuals to complete the volume. The final chapters will be chosen from the submitted abstracts by the editors or invited by the editors. The chapter writers will be notified of acceptance by January 1st, 2015. The chapters will be due September 2015, should be between 6,000 and 10,000 words (inclusive of references, biographical statement and all other text). Each abstract needs to be presented in the following form: · Section (Either Foundations, Futures, or Critiques) · Title of chapter · Author name/s, institutional details · Corresponding author’s email address · Keywords (no more than 5) · Abstract (no more than 500 words) · References Please e-mail your abstract/s to: internet.research.handbook@gmail.com We look forward to your submissions and working with you to produce another definitive collection of thought-provoking internet research. Please feel free to distribute this CfP widely.

It will analyse the range of ways in which autobiographical forms and discursive practices are being transformed at the frontier of technological change; then consider the implications of the new forms and practices for such notions as autobiography, selfhood, subjectivity, individuality, self-intelligibility, agency, creativity, privacy, and sociability; and their impact upon these and related concepts. This project will combine a humanistic, life-writing theory approach with an interdisciplinary methodology, in collaboration with researchers from Sociolinguistics, Medical Sociology, Psychiatry, Modern Languages, Culture Media and Creative Industries, Digital Humanities, Medical Humanities, War Studies, and Education. The project is led by Max Saunders (Professor of English and Director, Arts and Humanities Research Institute) in collaboration with: Clare Brant, Professor of English and Co-Director, Centre for Life-Writing research; Alexandra Georgakopoulou, Professor of Discourse Analysis & Sociolinguistics, Centre for Language, Discourse & Communication; Leone Ridsdale, Professor of Neurology & General Practice, Institute of Psychiatry In addition, there will be two postdoctoral researchers working full-time on the project. Funding is available for up to four PhD scholarships, to be supervised jointly across disciplines where appropriate. We invite applications for the indicative topics below, which have been designed by the project team as especially germane to the Ego-Media project as a whole. However, we also welcome applications for another topic of the applicant’s choice, provided that it demonstrates its relevance to the Ego-Media project.

Our work explores how the value of electronic music transcends economic value for producers, DJs, and audiences – and how geographical location continues to play a significant role in the recognition of musical value even where musical scenes become increasingly international (thanks in large part to websites such as SoundCloud). Such findings have implications for the careers of music-makers more generally. On 6 June, we are holding a public event at The Lexington in Angel, Islington, featuring talks, live performances, and an interactive panel discussion with electronic music producers. Come along to find out what we and other researchers have discovered, as well as to hear some great music and to put your own questions to the people who make it.

After constructing it to match known processes, events, and facts we realised we could use to explore counter-factual scenarios. The two we implemented were 'How might the pandemic have unfolded if there was no war' and 'How might it have unfolded if the armistice did not happen in the middle of the second most deadly wave of the pandemic'. Clearly the model is imperfect and so are the results of these counter-factual simulations. But they take into account many more factors and their consequences than non-computer-supported counter-factual speculations. Another historical question that the model perhaps provides some insight into is where the pandemic originated. The two prevalent theories are Kansas and Northern France. The range of parameters to simulate an origin in Northern France are very narrow while the Kansas origin can be run with a much wider range of parameter values. Does this indicate something about the relative likelihood of these two theories? The model and its documentation can be found at http://resources.modelling4all.org/spanish-flu. -ken kahn --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 06:25:23 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the extreme case I'm very grateful indeed for the responses to the question of when the model/simulation becomes the sole object of study. But allow me to emphasize that I am in fact asking for any examples of the extreme case: not merely when people pay long attention to the simulation but when they make a principled case for the simulation as the only way of finding out, when that which is thought to be real in whatever sense is knowable only *as* the simulation, indeed is thought *to be* the simulation. A better statement of this question would be welcome. I do think we need to keep hammering at it. There's more than one gem concealed in it, I suspect.

Yes, yes, I am aware that it falls under the category: "I do not know exactly what it is, but when I meet one I recognise it"; all the way I think that occasions like the question posed by Willard should lead to a useful discussion to clarify it, starting from its real use in the humanities.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nick_Bostrom#Simulation_argument, http://www.simulation-argument.com/, http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/16/opinion/sunday/is-the-universe-a-simulation.html?_r=0, http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.1847) The Holographic Principle? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle) And Conway's Game of Life which my guess is inspired some of that thinking? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOxDb_BbXzU) As far as I understand such holographic or simulated understandings of the universe in the end derive from advanced physical mathematics rather than from physics experimentation (which only serves to confirm the model decades later maybe). Taken mathematics as model… can it get more extreme? If the universe is a projection, model, or simulation itself, it follows there's little else to study but the model, no? But it is also the model that informed us this is a possible explanation why the universe exists as we found it—and we're back to Escher's drawing hands in that case ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawing_Hands). All the best --Joris PS On a tangential note. Just yesterday during the Around the World conference I was reminded of Arnon Grunberg (a Dutch novelist) who used an alias. Not uncommon of course. But in his case I think he was stretching to make reality an extension of fiction, I think (but I'm not sure) he was trying to make his alias–yet fiction–part of the reality as it shows itself to us. Is story telling, is literature a form of modeling? It has certain formal if very liberal constraints: it is very hard to tell a story in a intelligible matter violating these narratological constraints (cf. Amis' Time's Arrow for maybe a successful case). Fictionalizing and story telling might be such an extreme where reality can only be known through the model: fiction and story telling through language? -- Drs.

I wonder if there are cases in humanities computing that from the outset the model produced is designed for decerning what might be rather than what was. I think reformulating the question to side-step the the implied transition from model _of_ to model _for_ might yield some interesting examples that might not be extreme but might be worth some further thought.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 10:43:34 +0200 From: Matteo Romanello Subject: Effects of electronic concordance systems on classical scholarship Dear all, While working on my PhD dissertation I found myself looking for bibliographic references to studies on the effects of electronic tools, and especially electronic concordance systems (e.g. Ibycus, TLG, PHI, Index Thomisticus, etc.), on classical scholarship. Although there is some awareness among scholars in the field about the fact that such tools inevitably shape research and its (future) directions, there doesn't seem to be, to the best of my knowledge, any specific study on the topic. It does happen, however, from time to time to encounter passages where classicists do reflect on their use of digital tools and on how this has an impact on their work. In absence of more specific studies, these passages are real gems insofar as they document the changing practices of those working on classical texts. A good example of what I'm looking for is provided by D. Fowler: in his article "On the Shoulders of Giants: Intertextuality and Classical Studies" (1997, pp. 20-24) he gives a detailed account of his searches on the PHI electronic corpus to explore the intertextual parallels between the end of book 10 of Silius' Punica and the Aeneid. And I'm inclined to believe that there exist other similar accounts out there, perhaps buried in footnotes, of which I'm just not aware. Therefore, I'd greatly appreciate If anyone on this list can suggest further references on this topic.

What constitutes technical art history for software-based artworks? The term 'software-based artwork' refers to art where software is the primary artistic medium. These works form complex systems exhibiting a range of dependencies on changing hardware, commercial software, interfaces or technological environments. Software-based artworks may include bespoke elements coded by the artist or their programmer, and many are interactive or involve complex systems that exhibit particular behaviour, such as responding to a visitor or searching for keywords on the internet. We invite applications from candidates from a range of different backgrounds, which may include conservation, digital preservation, digital humanities, information science, computer science or curatorial practice. Successful applicants will normally have a good first degree (at least 2.1, or international equivalent) in a relevant field, and will have obtained or be currently working towards a Masters degree at Merit level (or international equivalent) in a relevant field.

Early Modern Experiment and its Communities Organizers: Dana Jalobeanu (University of Bucharest) and Cesare Pastorino (Center for the History of Knowledge and Technische Universität, Berlin) Early modern experimentation took place in a wide variety of often overlapping disciplines, traditions and communities. At the same time, experimental practices and the very working definition of what counted as an experiment differed from one community to the other, being subject to received -and sometimes tacit- knowledge, practices and habits. Our sessions will investigate some of the very different environments where the rise of early modern experimental culture took place, specifically focusing on the ways in which communities shaped experimental practice and the notion of experiment. We welcome case studies from a variety of experimental groups and disciplines: to list but a few, early modern academies, networks of virtuosi, religious orders, physicians and apothecaries, naturalists, professors of secrets, alchemists, botanical experts, technical experimenters working in mines, arsenals, mints, ironworks, and so forth. Please send a proposal of no more than 150 words (including keywords), plus a one page CV no longer than 300 words to Dana Jalobeanu (dana.jalobeanu@celfis.ro ) Cesare Pastorino ( cesare.pastorino@gmail.com ) by 4 June at the latest. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 May 2014 13:02:01 +0000 From: "Prescott, Andrew" Subject: The Work of Art in an Age of Digital Reproduction The CHASE consortium together with the AHRC Digital Transformations theme is organising a free workshop on Saturday 31 May on ‘The Work of Art in an Age of Digital Reproduction’ .

(Those keenly interested will want to look at Chiou-Hwa Yuh, Hamid Bolouri and Eric H. Davidson, "Genomic Cis-Regulatory Logic", Science NS 279.5358 (1998): 1896-1902), esp their Figure 6.) Keller goes on to ask, "How literally are we to take the metaphor of a 'genetic computer'?" I think not a few here will find her response worth pondering: > Computer metaphors have been commonplace in biology for almost half a > century. But until recently, they have been just that, i.e., > metaphors, carrying no expectation of approaching literal > correspondence. Computers may have been seen as functional analogues > of biological systems, but not as structural analogues: no-one would > have taken them as even approximately corresponding to the physical > structures of DNA, cells, or organisms. This was a metaphor, > therefore, without hope of approximating literal truth. That is, not > until the last few years, when a number of computer scientists began > to look to molecular biology for new horizons in computer technology. > Today, as some researchers in computer science seek to harness DNA > for conventional computational purposes, and as others have gone into > the laboratory to build into real bacteria specific gene regulation > networks (sometimes referred to as "gene chips") that have been > pre-designed to respond to particular stimuli, the gap between > computers and cells has narrowed dramatically. The net result is > that the ''genetic computer" is no longer just a metaphor or even > just a model: in two quite different domains, on the one hand, in the > designing of new kinds of computers and on the other, of new kinds of > organisms, the 'genetic computer' has begun to acquire something > resembling literal truth. However, the route by which this > convergence has occurred bears little resemblance to the story > usually told about scientific metaphor. Here, the convergence is > simultaneously material and conceptual, and there is no residually > literal sense in which any of the referents remain fixed. > Furthermore, it is possible to track the large and conspicuously > instrumental role played by the metaphor itself in bringing its > referents together-not only in the immediately conceptual sense of > directing the attention and perception of the researchers, but also, > and in rapid suit, in the sense of guiding their material > manipulations in a number of different kinds of laboratories > (biological, computational, and industrial), and to a number of > different kinds of ends (development of theory, of laboratory > instruments, and of commercial products). The model and the modelled converge. Keller concludes that "for many workers in [molecular biology] today, 'use value' has now come to be taken as the goal (and perhaps even the test) of an explanation: an explanation is expected to provide a recipe for construction; at the very least, it should provide us with effective means of intervening." She goes on: > Where causes are understood as handles, causal propositions will > inevitably be as much about means and ends as they will be about > truth. And means and ends are specific, local, and interested: > 'Means' means access, and as such, depends on the availability of > particular resources (technical, professional, and monetary) for > particular kinds of manipulation; 'ends' are the long-term goals to > which these manipulations are directed, and as such, depend on needs > and desires, be they for "understanding," for better theories or > instruments, or for newer and more profitable commercial products. Thus "the importance of asking how the goals of science, and the criteria of success by which a theory or research program is judged, shape the theoretical content of that science". What we want to find out, what we find out: not because the tools are "scientific" but because nothing at play is fixed? Comments?

On the other hand, one may wonder if it is time to move on to a new phase, that is, to ask ourselves if the rational use of the machine, in order to unfold its full potential, may also require the development of totally new heuristic procedures. This would involve re-discussing the methods and the foundations, i.e. the analytical categories that we have inherited and are passively used without a proper critical awareness. For example: what do we mean exactly by 'text'? And what exactly is the edition? even more: what exactly is the alphabet? On the occasion of this roundtable discussion, held in the beautiful Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, we will discuss about all of these issues with Prof. Tito ORLANDI (Director of Centro Linceo Interdisciplinare “Beniamino Segre”), and Raoul MORDENTI (Università di Roma Tor Vergata), basing on a concrete example of philological practice: the edition of Boccaccio's autograph manuscript, Zibaldone Laurenziano.

(Debates in the Digital Humanities, ed. Gold). I've modified this question slightly but, I would argue, improved it by a simplifying enlargement: "where is the (indigenous) criticism in digital humanities?". Last year Tim Hitchcock, Professor at Hertfordshire and co-director of the Old Bailey Online, published the sort of criticism I wish we had more of: "Confronting the Digital: or How Academic History Writing Lost the Plot", in Cultural and Social History 10.11. I quote here the abstract: > This discussion piece argues that the design and structure of online > historical resources and the process of search and discover embodied > within them create a series of substantial problems for historians. > Algorithm-driven discovery and misleading forms of search, poor OCR, > and all the selection biases of a new edition of the Western print > archive have changed how we research the past, and the underlying > character of the object of study (inherited text).

Hi all, I'm interested in learning about any previous published work which directly addresses the issue of how you bring a digital project to a definitive end. By this I don't mean the standard advice on how to choose data formats that have a good chance of long-term support, or how to get your metadata into central repositories; I'm interested in what happens, or what should happen, if you decide that you're done with a project and no more work will be done on it, and yet you want to do your best to ensure that the project itself (not just the texts or the data or the metadata, but also a web application that might run it, its history, its documentation and so on) might have a good chance of survival beyond the lifetime of the technologies and platforms on which it happens to run. Does anyone know of good work in this area?

June 15-17, 2014. Recent developments in digital technology, from “social media”/”web 2.0” such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Weibo, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Foursquare, etc to mobile devices, have spurred new forms of production. A variety of terms has been used to describe new production practices and new products enabled by the Internet: participatory culture, co-creation, mass collaboration, social production, commons-based peer production, mass customization, prosumption, produsage, crowdsourcing, open source, social production, user-generated content, user participation, folksonomics, wikinomics, collaborative innovation, open innovation, user innovation. These terms and debates are often over-optimistic, celebratory and lack a critical understanding of “social media” – they do not engage with the social problem-dimension of the “social”. The multiplicity of neologisms is also a symptom of a “technologistic” outlook, which assumes that each technical innovation brings about a paradigmatic change in culture and in society and more democracy and a better society. While such multiplicity of terms attests to a phenomenology of technological innovation and diversity, it is also an analytical and theoretical liability. Concurrent with this dominant approach, there have been attempts for a systematic critical analysis of new forms of online production, digital labour and commodification on social media through the prism of the labour theory of value. Such theoretical approaches attempt to apply a unified conceptual framework in order to gain better understanding of the socio-economic foundations of digital media and the social relations, power relations and class relations that they facilitate. They also help to connect these new productive practices with a longstanding theoretical tradition emerging from Marxian political economy. The role of Marx’s labour theory of value for understanding the political economy of digital and social media has been a topic of intense work and debates in recent years, particularly concerning the appropriateness of using Marxian concepts, such as: value, surplus-value, exploitation, class, abstract and concrete labour, alienation, commodities, the dialectic, work and labour, use- and exchange-value, General Intellect, labour time, labour power, the law of value, necessary and surplus labour time, absolute and relative surplus value production, primitive accumulation, rent, reproductive labour, formal and real subsumption of labour under capital, species-being, collective worker, etc. The critical conceptualization of digital labour has been approached from a variety of critical approaches, such as Marx’s theory, Dallas Smythe’s theory of audience commodification, Critical Theory, Autonomous Marxism, feminist political economy, labour process theory, etc. In this workshop we explore current interventions to the digital labour theory of value. Such interventions propose theoretical and empirical work that contributes to our understanding of the Marx’s labour theory of value, how the nexus of labour and value are transformed under virtual conditions, or they employ the theory in order to shed light on specific practices. The Israeli location will provide an opportunity to explore some issues pertinent to digital technology in the local context, including a lecture on the Palestinian Internet and a tour exploring techniques of separation and control along the separation wall in Jerusalem.

What happens to the ideas articulated in language and embodied in code? And, of course, the question of why the ending: because the objectives have been achieved? because the project ran out of money, and why that happened? For us the focus on *initiatives*, on the new, has not been entirely a good thing.

Hi Martin, PRINCE2, developed for government purposes and widely used in the commercial world, does a good job of this. You can find handbooks in many university libraries, and there's information online too. The language can take a bit of getting used to, and I wouldn't recommend it for every project by any means, but the framework offers solid advice and asks to be tailored rather than offering a one-size-fits-all. The basic idea is that there's an art to closing a project properly (or even knowing when it's time to close it), just as there is to initiating and running one, and a range of activities that can be undertaken depending on size and scope. Some project managers specialise in closing projects, as it happens - it can take months with a large project, all in the interests of achieving as many 'benefits' as possible. I'm glad it's been raised on Humanist - it's a project phase that can achieve a lot with little expense, and could be used to introduce students to various aspects of technical project work. If anyone knows of advice in this area that's less oriented towards the government / commercial world I'd be interested to hear.

I paste in the abstract below in case you'd like to contact any of the authors. cheers, Susan The Lifecycle of Interfaces Mauricio Bernardes, Ben Carroll, Lisa Cerrato, Luciano Frizzera, Mihaela Viorica Ilovan, Tianyi Li, Piotr Michura, John Montague, Geoffrey Rockwell, Laurentia Romaniuk, Stan Ruecker, Daniel Sondheim, Simone Sperhacke, Sarah Vela, Jennifer Windsor, INKE Research Group E-mail: dosreisf@ualberta.ca, ilovan@ualberta.ca, tianyi2@ualberta.ca, grockwel@ualberta.ca, lauren.romaniuk@ualberta.ca, sruecker@ualberta.ca, svela@ualberta.ca Introduction Stan Ruecker This panel presents a selection of ideas arising from year 5 of the INKE project’s interface design team. As the project has progressed, we have become conscious not only of the larger context that is implied by the design and development of new knowledge environments, but also of the life cycles of those environments. If we accept this biological metaphor, we can notice that it is not out of keeping with the spirit of long-running projects like Perseus to suggest that they have gone through a process of growth and articulation, much as we could expect of a natural autopoietic system. We therefore undertake to write the biography, not of the people involved in the project, but of the project as it has presented itself to the world through its interface. We can talk about memorializing it. We can examine the next points of possible articulation. Elsewhere, our biological thinking leads us to consider hybridizing and splicing projects, perhaps, as with apple trees, to increase the variety of fruit that we can expect them to bear. However, with the metaphor comes another, perhaps less hopeful implication, namely that we must take care not to inadvertently introduce a kind of sterility through our experimentation. Finally, we recognize that phases of projects, and in fact entire projects, can come to their ends, and ask what that implies in terms of documenting the history of the field. 1. The biography of an interface: Perseus Digital Library Sarah Vela, Lisa Cerrato, Mihaela Ilovan, Tianyi Li, Geoffrey Rockwell, Stan Ruecker and the INKE Research Group Unlike software preservation, the systematic documentation of user interface evolution is rarely talked about despite its historical and esthetical value, not to mention significance for future developments in the field of interface design. As a case study in support of a curatorial strategy for interface design, we surveyed the evolution of Perseus Digital Library. We collected surviving images, programs and websites, and we interviewed Perseus staff to obtain background information for design and structure changes of the website/cd. The finds were then evaluated against the framework for the diachronic study of interfaces we proposed two years ago (Rockwell et al., 2011) and it was concluded that both internal and external factors guide the layout, features, imagery, and content of Perseus. These factors form a unique structure of synergy and compromise that is as indicative of Perseus’ interface as the design itself, and is especially valuable to study from a digital curatorship perspective. 2. CiteLens: splicing disciplines and visual models. Mihaela Ilovan, Luciano Frizzera, Jennifer Windsor, Piotr Michura, Daniel Sondheim, Geoffrey Rockwell, Stan Ruecker and the INKE Research Group Research, writing and referencing in the humanities differ significantly from those in the sciences (Hellqvist, 2009). Consequently, traditional citation analysis and its visualization methods (e.g. network maps), built on the assumption that all citation are equal, are inadequate in a humanist context. To bridge this gap, we designed CiteLens (Fig. 1) , a visualization tool for studying referencing and argumentation in humanist monographs (Ilovan et al., 2012). Since CiteLens was conceived as the first visualization tool for the analysis of references in context, sources of inspiration for the development of a new visual paradigm were incorporated from two rather distinct fields: citation analysis and text analysis. This splicing of visual models and affordances led to the development of a tool, which - through its two-stage experience (i.e. “compare” and “contextualize”) - manages to transcend the borders of its parentage and to step into the realm of discourse analysis. We explore this dynamic of interface hybridization and present the results of our initial case study, which highlights CiteLens's potential for the hermeneutical exploration of humanist writings. 3. Growth and Multiplication: Designing for the Mobile Generation of Perseus Laurentia Romaniuk, Lisa Cerrato, Mihaela Ilovan, Ben Carroll, Geoffrey Rockwell, Stan Ruecker, and the INKE Research Group This project is a collaborative effort between INKE and the Perseus Digital Library (Perseus) to explore the development of a mobile optimized tool for a digital library characterized by expansive collections and a user-base that spans various demographics including age, location, native language, and connectivity to the internet. With the number of individuals choosing to access the Internet primarily through mobile devices on the rise (Rainie, 2012), INKE and Perseus recognized the opportunity to develop a web presence for Perseus that would address increased mobile use. An initial usability study of Perseus as it relates to web and mobile use was undertaken. Based on the findings of this study and informed by a review of emerging trends and technologies in mobile application design, the INKE team has developed preliminary designs for two mobile tools to address Perseus’ needs. 4. Structured Surfaces for Digital Board Games: The DH Experience Luciano Frizzera, John Montague, Simone Sperhacke, Maurício Bernardes, Geoffrey Rockwell, Stan Ruecker and the INKE Research Group. The process of modeling workflow (Fig. 2) for editorial purposes might be seen as a laborious and tedious experience. The interactive nature of our Visual Workflow Interface tool (Frizzera et al, 2012) can easily be transformed into a ludic environment. We propose incorporating the affordances of board games into the current tool iteration, creating a cooperative game based on the work of DH practitioners. The prototype game that we have developed models the experience of researching and publishing in a collaborative, multi-disciplinary academic environment. As Gee argues, games offer “players continual opportunities to learn, solve problems, and become more skilled” (Gee, 2005, p. 29). By mutating our work tool into a game platform, we are offering a method of serendipitous discovery; while enjoying the game, people are prone to critically explore the process of modeling, which could lead to new insights about knowledge construction. 5. Where Do Good Interfaces Go When They Die: Preserving Perseus Interface History Tianyi Li, Mihaela Ilovan, Laurentia Romaniuk, Lisa Cerrato, Geoffrey Rockwell, Stan Ruecker and the INKE Research Group With many of the digital structures created disappearing over time (Day, 2006), both content and interface become to some extent invisible and inaccessible. There are preservation challenges for physical cultural artifacts, and some of these are shared with digital cultural artifacts: it is important in both cases, for instance, that the content, the substance, be preserved. For the preservation of user interfaces, however, the focus is on visual and interactive features instead of content, and appearance and interaction are highly contingent. The proposed paper describes a collaborative model to document, archive and possibly exhibit the evolution of the Perseus Digital Library interface. In order to document not only the look of Perseus but also the feel of it (i.e. the user experience), we are collecting along with web pages from major versions of the project, screencasts of user interaction and additional documentation such as user manuals, ephemera and grant proposals. The metadata model created is adapted to the particularities of an interface archive and, together with the types of content included, opens a conversation on the preservation of digital design. Conclusion Geoffrey Rockwell In this panel we use the metaphor of “lifecycle” to draw attention to change in interfaces and how little we know about studying change and managing it. The metaphor also suggests that interfaces are living things - that they are autopoietic or able to fashion themselves. This is clearly not true. Interfaces are abstractions that don’t exist except between us and computers. We fashion interfaces and fashioned the very idea. The idea is useful, but also limiting as it is tied to the screen as the site of interaction. Ideas too have a lifecycle. Now, as we move from developing interfaces to making interactives the time has come to consider an end to interface. References Day, M. (2006). The long-term preservation of Web content.

In-Reply-To: <20140526223758.EDA8E666A@digitalhumanities.org> There was a cluster of three articles in a special issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly 3.2 (2009), edited by Matt Kirschenbaum, called ‘Done: Finishing Projects in the Digital Humanities’: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/3/2/index.html. These explore the tensions between the managerial and administrative pressure to ‘finish’ a project and the need for continuing input to sustain the content.

In-Reply-To: <20140526223758.EDA8E666A@digitalhumanities.org> If i understood your question correctly you are asking about project development. Within the field of computer systems development and project management, a system project doesnt end since the models proposed are typically concieved in a cyclical fashion. So what might be interpreted as the "end" is a transition into the maintenance phase. A system can be maintained only for so long before it becomes obsolete and can no longer be maintained after which the system then needs to be redeveloped. I think the same goes for the digital objects and of course an intention to always try and better the system. In this respect you can look for literature related to the systems development lifecycle in which various authors propose a series of models.

This meeting is entitled The Connected Past: archaeological challenges and complexity - it is a one and a half day multi-disciplinary meeting to explore how concepts and techniques from network- and complexity science can be used to study archaeological data. These challenges include the use of material data as proxy evidence for past human behaviour, questions about long-term processes of social change, and the fragmentary nature of archaeological data. We aim to bring together physical scientists and archaeologists in order to highlight the challenges posed by archaeological data and research questions, and explore collaborative ways of tackling them using perspectives drawn from network and complexity science. The meeting will take place on the afternoon of Monday 8th September and all day Tuesday 9th September at Imperial College London. A hands-on introductory workshop is planned for the morning of Monday 8th September – details to be announced. Call for Papers. We are looking for 20 to 30 minute contributions and are inviting researchers from any relevant field to submit a one page abstract in pdf format. This should be sent to: connectedpast2014@imperial.ac.uk The abstract should contain the title, name of proposed speaker and names of any additional authors and their associated institutions, along with a brief abstract (200-500 words). Any additional information (figure, links, bibliography, etc.) may be included within the one page limit. Submission deadline: 20th June 2014 Decisions announced: 4th July 2014 Keynote talks. The meeting will feature keynote talks by Alan Wilson, University College London, and Ulrik Brandes, University Konstanz (a further additional keynote will be announced soon). Shorter talks will be given by other invited speakers and from researchers submitting abstracts. Finally, at a later date we will issue a call for some quick fire (five minute) talks to allow researchers at all stages of their career to participate. Registration Fee. The registration fee is £45 (£22.50 for students) as a contribution towards local expenses. This will cover lunch on the Tuesday, coffee/tea breaks plus drinks at the informal social event on the Monday evening. Registration will open in June. Travel Bursaries.

It follows two symposiums (Hypermnesia held in 2012 and Scriptions in 2013). We are exploring the ways in which digital tools, be they real or fictional, from Babbage to Internet, have altered our conception of the subject and its representations, affecting both its status and its attributes. We welcome contributions from the following fields : philosophy, literature, arts, archivistics, neuroscience, and the history of science and technology. 
The working languages will be French and English. Contributions may be submitted in either language and should not exceed 3000 characters. Please enclose a brief bio-bibliographical note. Please submit your abstracts via EasyChair as well as a brief bio-biographical note Do not forget to upload your document in PDF format (no more than 3000 characters). For further information, you may write totemporalites@univ-paris8.fr. Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2013. Contributors will be informed of the scientific committee’s decision by Sept. 15, 2013. Keynote speakers to be announced shortly. The Digital Subject :Temporalities Speed playing against retention, instantaneous access to information playing against the hypermnesiac (or hypomnesiac) inflation of data storage. Time is lost, time is gained. Time may be lost through forgetfulness or in time-consuming technological processes; time may appear to have been won through the greater efficiency these technologies advocate. Time spans the so-called interior musings, always being modified by technology, but also the specific timings of our evolving technological environment and the time frame of our geological environment where we leave traces, marks and waste that may outlive us. What kind of time, or rather regimes of time, time(s) do digital technologies foster? How do these new experiences of time relate to each other? How do they relate to the whole gamut of subjective time(s) outlined by fiction, philosophy, social sciences ? How do they relate to the specific time(s) of the living, geologic environment? These questions suggest a number of issues, some of which are delineated further down the text. A multi-timed subject. Online games, e-literature or “learning machines” often create a loop of interaction between man and machine: the machine regulates the flux it produces according to the subject’s reactions, as if what appears on screen could represent the subject’s thoughts. New forms of technological environments, cloud or crowd computing for instance, implement and rely on a complex temporal milieu, which is based on “multiple simultaneities”. We may even speak of “multineity” when the time required by the subject to inscribe and decipher meaning coincides with, overlays or jars with the specific timings of other connected users, as is the case in collaborative online writing. It is now possible to have the intimate experience of a shared temporality, to be distributed both in immediate time and asynchronously. From which we may ponder the intrinsic polyphonous nature of our new digital selves. Political control. The constant, continuous broadcast of flux could be viewed as imprisoning the user in a memory-less present, in a form of pure immediacy that bars global overview of date and only allows sampling. Such limitations imposed on the subject reversely mirror the illimitation of hypermnesiac machines (Internet, databases), whose unknown technical possibilities raise the issue of the political monitoring of information, especially of private data, the digital traces left by the subject. For instance, what can we make of Facebook movies, footage automatically generated from a member’s posts on his “timeline” ? Is this an adequate retention or should we consider it superfluous, even abusive? Environments. Could the emergence of multiple subjective time(s) help us describe those ecotechnical milieus in which the subject stands? Do they put into question the eternal present of natural cycles? What is the specific time-experience for ecotechnics (Nancy)? Digital technology is usually viewed in connection with speed, as opposed to nature which would be slower. Does that assumption stand? Drawing from these examples, together with all manners of literary, philosophical, artistic digital experiences, we will study the evolution of digital time setups under their technical, social, political aspects. What mediations of time(s) do they enact ? What rewritings of the subject, polyphonous, multi-temporal, do they suggest ? 
Keywords : speed, retention, recursitivity, accumulation, multiple simultaneities, shared temporalities, eco-technics, environment, illimitation, mediations, control.   _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id C4D2B67C0; Wed, 28 May 2014 22:09:10 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A5BF165B6; Wed, 28 May 2014 22:08:56 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B1EAC646D; Wed, 28 May 2014 22:08:54 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140528200854.B1EAC646D@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 22:08:54 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.60 how digital projects end X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 60.

You can find handbooks in many university libraries, and there's information online too. The language can take a bit of getting used to, and I wouldn't recommend it for every project by any means, but the framework offers solid advice and asks to be tailored rather than offering a one-size-fits-all. The basic idea is that there's an art to closing a project properly (or even knowing when it's time to close it), just as there is to initiating and running one, and a range of activities that can be undertaken depending on size and scope. Some project managers specialise in closing projects, as it happens - it can take months with a large project, all in the interests of achieving as many 'benefits' as possible. > > I'm glad it's been raised on Humanist - it's a project phase that can achieve a lot with little expense, and could be used to introduce students to various aspects of technical project work.

This year's program includes: case studies from government, the standards world, big data, and a web-browser game; change tracking and versioning in XML documents; XSLT streamability; new approaches to overlapping data structures; a discussion of MathML technology and practice; and technical papers covering such topics as: Web Components, XForms for editing, RELAX NG for DITA, an XQuery framework, OWL, identity in XML and JSON, and RDF and the Internet of Things. Balisage participants typically include XML users; XSLT and XQuery programmers; librarians; developers of XML databases, XSLT and XQuery engines, web publishing applications, and markup-related software; semantic-Web evangelists, archivists; members of the working groups which define markup specifications; academics; industrial researchers, representatives of governmental bodies and NGOs; consultants; and the world's greatest concentration of markup theorists. Discussion is open, candid, and unashamedly technical. Balisage 2014 Program: http://www.balisage.net/2014/Program.html This year has a very exciting program!

As a followup to Martin Holmes question, let me ask another, related one. Can we distinguish projects by the following categories: 1. those in Martin's question, that "are no longer consuming any human effort at all, but remain accessible and useful, and promise to be so in the long term"; 2. those, like the Oxford English Dictionary, that promise to remain more or less as they are in format but that grow with accumulated material; 3. those, like the Perseus Project, that we can expect will improve in what they can do as well as grow like (2); 4. those that are abandoned (and so "end badly") but from which a great deal has been learned, whose apparent failure is their real success; and then 5. those that end *very* badly, from whose embarassing failures we can learn. Perhaps there are better categories? I am resisting the idea that genuine improvement for digital humanities and for all those who benefit from its work can be simply equated with completion that is successful in the usual sense. If, as I think, the digital medium is not just another in which marketable widgets are made but one which serves experimental enquiry, then success needs to be rethought. I abandoned my own project, the Analytical Onomasticon, after ca 15 years' work because I realised it was impossible to complete under current technologies and that I had learned from it all that it had to teach me (or perhaps all I was capable of learning from it). Are there more projects like it that we should study?

We are a leading world centre for the multidisciplinary study of the Internet and society, looking for a full-time Researcher to work on a funded project, “The Ethics of Biomedical Big Data”, led by Professor Luciano Floridi. The analysis of large datasets (Big Data) has become a major driver of innovation and success in biomedical research. However, the use of Biomedical Big Data raises serious ethical problems, which may threaten the huge opportunities it offers. This pilot project will formulate a blueprint of the ethical aspects, requirements and desiderata underpinning a European framework for the ethical use of Big Data in biomedical research. Applicants should hold a PhD in a relevant discipline, have a strong interest in information/computer ethics and proven experience in ethical and policy analysis and writing papers based on qualitative and/or quantitative research. The successful candidate will work with Prof. Floridi and a multidisciplinary team of researchers, and will be able to take a lead in project management, conceptual analysis, and the dissemination of results. Based at our OII North office at 34 St Giles, Oxford, this position is available from 1 October 2014 for 1 year, with a possibility of extension beyond that date, depending on funding. The post is associated with a non-stipendiary Junior Research Fellowship at St Cross College for its duration. Details of the College and its facilities are available on the College website at: www.stx.ox.ac.uk. Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. To apply for this role and for further details, including a job description and selection criteria, please click on the link below: https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=113435 The application deadline is 12.00 midday on Thursday 26 June 2014.

I should think the goal should be to finish and publish, but then to expect, like books in a library, there will be some human effort still required such as shelving and reshelving to allow for easy use, and dealing with books that have become torn, brittle, etc. Again, I think PROJECTS should end, hand their work over to a publisher or institutional repository, and move on to the next project, research topic, publication.

John ----- Speaker:Professor Sir Deian Hopkin (President of the National Library of Wales) Title: Digitising the First World War: Opportunities and Challenges Date: 3 June, 2014 Time:5:15 PM (BST=GMT+1) Venue: Athlone Room, 102, Senate House, South Block, First floor, or live online at LiveStream http://www.livestream.com/historyspot . Abstract: One of the most important legacies of the commemoration of the First World War will be an extensive range of new digital archives. The Imperial War Museum is leading a partnership of many hundreds of organisations, many of whom are involved in capturing records, visual artefacts, memoirs and much else. The National Archives now offers a wide variety of resources, from war diaries and nursesÂ’ records to interviews with prisoners of war and records of military service appeal tribunals and has launched a crowd-sourcing site to identify data contained within war diaries. The National Library of Wales hosts the PeopleÂ’s Collection, also a crowd-sourcing platform, which enables individuals and organisations to upload diaries, letters, photographs and other artefacts, and a dedicated website provides searchable access to Welsh newspapers during the war, part of a much larger collection of Welsh Newspapers Online. And there is much else, on the same lines, taking place in libraries, record offices and among informal groups across the country. In his acclaimed book, /Capital in the Twenty-First Century, /Thomas Piketty pays a particular debt to improvements in the technology of research, most specifically computers, which enabled him to process data on a huge scale and offer a new synthesis; indeed he claims his work to be as much about history as economics. Twenty years ago, there was a rush of enthusiasm for the use of computing technology by historians. Since then, despite huge technical advances and a communications revolution, there is a sense that most historians have remained aloof from these new developments. Some of the tools available in the 1980s and 1990s have not evolved and there is much less written nowadays about techniques and methodology; indeed there appear to be little provision for historians to develop the particular skills needed to exploit rich digital archives, especially structured data. While the new resources appear to offer exciting prospects, are we any nearer being able to exploit them? This presentation will discuss the opportunities which are now available but the challenges that still remain. Speaker: Professor Sir Deian Hopkin spent 43 years in higher education, retiring as Vice Chancellor of London South Bank University in 2009. He was a co-founder of the Association of History and Computing and active in the CTI, the History Data Archive and other initiatives in the 1980s and 1990s.

This lecture has stirred up a great deal of discussion among historians of computing because he attacks the tendency for histories to turn away from technical matters to the broader significance of computer science in the world. He singles out an article by Martin Campbell-Kelly that he interprets as celebrating the historiographical trend that has so upset him. (During the lecture he says that the essay made him cry. He seemed to be reporting honestly what happened.) Quite apart from the specifics of his target Knuth's upset poses an ironically much broader question for us: to what degree should an article or book in digital humanities deal with, manifest or be based on technical issues? For Knuth's real concern, a profound one, is the need to know (in Richard Hamming's words) "what they thought when they did it", i.e. how important work in the field actually came about. One could easily argue that work which does not directly engage with technical, hands-on experience or which is not based on such experience is best left to others, even perhaps that it constitutes a perilous distraction. "Do I know (do I grok) what I am talking about?" is a good question to have pinned to the wall above one's desk. (A shadow of Steve Ramsay's argument for the fundamental importance of hands-on looms.) Some here will know that the same sort of argument has raged in the history and philosophy of the sciences, where some would say that if e.g. the mathematics or biochemistry is beyond you, you should be doing something else than write about the relevant sciences. But is this situation not analogous to, say, knowledge of Greek and Latin for scholars of ancient Greece and Rome? Knuth's lecture is now online as a YouTube video, athttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAXdDEQveKw. Watch it tonight!

For example, it can be providing context like in the instance of the mythical man-month, where the incredible importance of OS/360 would not be known to most today, and a flat reading of the text might make one think it was a failure. Simiarly, in reporting on Ivan Sutherland's famous Sketchpad Demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USyoT_Ha_bA) It might be worth pointing out that he essentially invented object-orientation as a side effect of wanting to do effective sub-diagrams. A certain mastery of technology and the landscape, *of the time* is needed to understand these things Where this differs from, say, classical Rome is that there are still 'Romans' alive today to be interrogated. Classicists and other historians of the dead need to reconstruct the context from primary sources. Could CS history gain more from being like the collation of folklore or anthropology?

Since the 19th century, historians of science (and humanities) have almost exclusively dealt with the (internal) content of disciplines and theories. With the rise of sociological and more contextual approaches in the 1970s, the focus of content made place for a focus on the context of disciplines and scientific theories. Since the 1980s the focus on content almost disappeared in the history of science/humanities also when this history was written by scientists turned historians who were well able to deal with the technical matters of their disciplines. Yet, the tide seems to have turned again, and the focus on content -- especially on integrating content and context -- is alive and kicking today. Don Knuth follows this trend. So in retrospective, it was not the scientific content that was beyond historians (in fact, most historians of e.g. physics were physicists themselves), but it was the historiographic paradigm of the day that made most historians of science and humanities turn away from technical matters and write on impact and context.

This lecture has stirred up a great deal of discussion among historians of computing because he attacks the tendency for histories to turn away from technical matters to the broader significance of computer science in the world.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2014 10:31:40 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: powers and limits of modelling One of the clearest statements of the (potentially dangerous) power and utility of modelling that I have come across occurs in the Introduction to Jay W. Forrester's 1971 book World Systems. Forrester wrote it for the second meeting of the Club of Rome, which convened at MIT to consider Forrester's concept of "system dynamics". (The Club of Rome was founded in 1968 at the Accademia dei Lincei to consider the serious problems facing the world. Its 1972 report Limits to Growth, by Donnella and Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers, was based on a computer simulation of the world they built at Forrester's lab; for a presentation of it see http://www.clubofrome.org/?p=326.) But what concerns me here is Forrester's explanation in sections 1.5 and 1.6 (pp. 14-16) of World Dynamics. "There is nothing new in the use of models to represent social systems", he writes. "Everyone uses models all the time." But the models we use, "mental models", are "fuzzy... incomplete... imprecisely stated... [changing] with time and with the flow of conversation". Basic assumptions and goals are hidden, considerations partial. In sum "this process", i.e. human reasoning, "is often faulty". The human mind is good at observing and detecting patterns. "But human experience trains the mind only poorly for estimating dynamic consequences of how parts of a system will interact with one another." "Until recently", he continues, "there has been no way to estimate the behavior of social systems except by contemplation, discussions, argument, and guesswork." Now, of course, we have the computer, and so the ability to simulate the world. Forrester argues for a combination of "the strength of the human mind with the strength of today's computers". Their strength depends this or that model given them. "Such a model is a simplification of an actual social system, but it can be far more comprehensive than the mental models we otherwise would use as the basis far debating social policy." Although no model (i.e. in 1971) "can be considered more than preliminary, many are now beginning to show the behavior characteristics of actual systems." Seems all quite unremarkably reasonable? Perhaps a sliver of doubt creeps in if one considers Brian Cantwell Smith's analysis in his 1985 paper, "The Limits of Correctness", at a conference on unintended nuclear warfare, that in principle no perfect system is possible. The clear, complete, precisely designed, utterly stable system turns out to be rather a problem -- perhaps not in the time-scale Forrester and company were considering, but when measured by the flight-time of an ICBM.... What bothers me, however, is what may seem at first more benign: the mirroring loop by which the conception of the world as a "system", which came out of systems thinking coeval with the development of computing, should find its marvellously fitting mate in computing, and that in the process of this mating, certain human characteristics are dispensed with because they are judged to be "fuzzy... incomplete... imprecisely stated... [changing] with time and with the flow of conversation" and so on. Computing progresses, so the number of these annoyingly imprecise human characteristics that the machinery can do without is bound to increase, yes? Surely there was, and is, much to celebrate, and more as computing progresses, as it will. But where, Alan Liu has asked, is the cultural (where, I ask, any other kind of disciplinarily self-aware) criticism in all this celebration? However morally justified (as with the Club of Rome's concerns), the promotional and the critical make for a very unhappy couple. Comments?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 01 Jun 2014 12:16:59 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: communicating with outsiders Thomas Schelling, whose "Dynamic models of segregation" was mentioned on Humanist a few days ago in response to my question on simulations, wrote "surely the best essay on what economic analysis is about, on the nature of economic reasoning, that has ever been written" (Paul Krugman, The Self-Organizing Economy, p. 16). I'll take Krugman's word for that, though perhaps I should suspend judgment. But I mention Schelling's "Micromotives and Macrobehavior", Chapter 1 of his book by the same name, because it is such a beautiful example of work that makes interdisciplinary research somewhat easier than it often is. I say "somewhat" advisedly, since there remains the task of checking out where this book stands in the collective opinion of economists other than Krugman. In any case stylistically one has something to aim for. In explaining why the economist's analytical notion of equilibrium does not imply something attractive, for example, Schelling writes that, > In Malthusian analysis, the population is "in equilibrium" when the > supply of food and other natural resources is so meager, relative to > the population, that a low birthrate and a high death rate keep the > population stationary. A public beach in the summertime is in > equilibrium when it is so crowded that it is no longer attractive to > anyone who might have wanted to go to the beach, but not quite so > unattractive that the people who are already there give up and go > home. The world's whale population is in equilibrium when the > remaining whales are so few that hardly anybody can catch enough to > make a good business out of it, and the few whalers who have nothing > better to do are just able to catch enough whales to offset the new > births in the small population. Highway speeds are in equilibrium > vis-a-vis the state police when arrests are just frequent enough to > offset the urge to drive a little faster.... [N]obody should resist > "equilibrium analysis" for fear that, if he acknowledges that > something is in equilibrium, he will have acknowledged that something > is all right. The body of a hanged man is in equilibrium when it > finally stops swinging, but nobody is going to insist that the man is > all right.

"The History of Sorting Algorithms" as a chapter of "The History of Computer Science" 2. "The Expulsion of Human Labour out of Industry and Administration" as a part of "A Social History of Globalized Computerization" 3."From NASA and AI to Big Data and NSA" as a chapter of "A Political History of Computerized Intelligence" 4. "Die Mechanisierung des logischen Denkens" as a chapter in a volume entitled "Geistesgeschichte im Übergang vom Industrie- zum Informationszeitalter" surely I would be inclined to choose nr. 1. But are  the other topics less reasonable?

But having sent it I'd like to expand on it a bit. In [http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/11/4/12.html] Epstein writes "Anyone who ventures a projection, or imagines how a social dynamic—an epidemic, war, or migration—would unfold is running some model....But typically, it is an implicit model in which the assumptions are hidden, their internal consistency is untested, their logical consequences are unknown, and their relation to data is unknown....The choice, then, is not whether to build models; it's whether to build explicit ones. In explicit models, assumptions are laid out in detail, so we can study exactly what they entail. On these assumptions, this sort of thing happens. When you alter the assumptions that is what happens. By writing explicit models, you let others replicate your results....Another advantage of explicit models is the feasibility of sensitivity analysis. One can sweep a huge range of parameters over a vast range of possible scenarios to identify the most salient uncertainties, regions of robustness, and important thresholds. I don't see how to do that with an implicit mental model. It is important to note that in the policy sphere (if not in particle physics) models do not obviate the need for judgment. However, by revealing tradeoffs, uncertainties, and sensitivities, models can discipline the dialogue about options and make unavoidable judgments more considered." Willard McCarty points out that 'certain human characteristics are dispensed with because they are judged to be 'fuzzy... incomplete... imprecisely stated... [changing] with time and with the flow of conversation' and so on". Since Forrester wrote that book there has been much progress in computer science in fuzzy reasoning, dealing with incomplete information, and ambiguity. And regarding changing assumptions that is what I think Epstein is talking about regarding sensitivity analysis - models are run with large numbers of different assumptions to explore the range of possible outcomes. -ken kahn _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id DEE1B65A8; Mon, 2 Jun 2014 22:39:43 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9D86863B9; Mon, 2 Jun 2014 22:39:35 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9FD9D63F9; Mon, 2 Jun 2014 22:39:33 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140602203933.9FD9D63F9@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2014 22:39:33 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.79 events: HTML5 and XML X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 79.

XMLers and HTML5ers may each find the other more than a little peculiar; but it is time to get past our differences and discuss how our differing strengths can be combined to benefit each other, our users, and the information eco-system as a whole. The Balisage pre-conference symposium this year will bring discussion to Balisage of some things many of don’t like and advocates for positions many of us disagree with. If we are lucky it will also help two very different groups of people understand each other a bit better. Symposium description: http://www.balisage.net/HTML5-XML/index.html Detailed program: http://www.balisage.net/HTML5-XML/symposiumProgram.html The symposium program include two opportunities for participation: - lightning talks, and - a Questions and Answer session with Robin Berjon, editor of the W3C HTML5 specification Come join the fray!

When you do, you realise that this is an open discussion about whether or not XML is now to be regarded as a "legacy" technology. (Their words, not mine). The problem is caused by the key transformation XML->HTML. This no longer appears to work well if the "HTML" bit is HTML5. So it would appear that XML is no longer a convenient format for digital humanities texts, and this inconvenience is likely to grow greater in years to come, since HTML is now free to follow its own path. Although this problem is not news in itself, talking about it openly, is. The maintenance of XML tools also appears to be under threat, since the software industry that controls them now has much less interest in their existence. As everyone knows, XML is being used less and less for Web application development. But this rupture with HTML5 means that it also seems to be failing as a mixed content technology.

There are €20,000 worth of prizes on offer in two dedicated tracks: * Open track: for projects that either use open content, open data or open source tools to further humanities teaching and research * DM2E track: for projects that build upon the research, tools and data of the DM2E project http://www.dm2e.eu/ Why are we running these Awards? Humanities research is based on the interpretation and analysis of a wide variety of cultural artefacts including texts, images and audiovisual material. Much of this material is now freely and openly available on the internet enabling people to discover, connect and contextualise cultural artefacts in ways previously very difficult. We want to make the most of this new opportunity by encouraging budding developers and humanities researchers to collaborate and start new projects that use this open content and data paving the way for a vibrant cultural and research commons to emerge. In addition, the DM2E (Digitised Manuscripts to Europeana) project has developed tools to support Digital Humanities research, such as Pundit (a semantic web annotation tool), and delivered several interesting datasets from various content providers around Europe. The project is now inviting all researchers to submit a project building on this DM2E research in a special DM2E track. What do we want to see? For the Open track, we are challenging humanities researchers, designers and developers to create innovative projects open content, open data or open source to further teaching or research in the humanities. For example you might want to: * Start a project to collaboratively transcribe, annotate, or translate public domain texts * Explore patterns of citation, allusion and influence using bibliographic metadata or textmining * Analyse and/or visually represent complex networks or hidden patterns in collections of texts * Use computational tools to generate new insights into collections of public domain images, audio or texts For the DM2E track, we invite you to submit a project building on the DM2E research: information, code and documentation on the DM2E tools is available through our DM2E wiki http://wiki.dm2e.eu/Main_Page , the data is at http://data.dm2e.eu http://data.dm2e.eu/ . Examples include: * Building open source tools or applications based on the API’s developed * A project focused on the visualisation of data coming from Pundit * A deployment of the tools for specific communities * A project using data aggregated by DM2E in an innovative way * An extension of the platform by means of a practical demonstrative application Who is behind the awards? The Awards are being coordinated by the Open Knowledge Foundation and are part of the DM2E project. They are also supported by the Digital Humanities Quarterly. Who can apply? The Awards are open to any citizen of the EU. Who is judging the Awards? The Awards will be judged by a stellar cast of leading Digital Humanists: * Professor Andrew Prescott, Kings College London * Professor David Robey, University of Oxford * Dr Melissa Terras, University College London * Nicole Coleman, Stanford University Humanities Center * Dr Laurent Romary, INRIA * Sally Chambers, DARIAH-EU How to apply Applications are open through openhumanitiesawards.org. The extended application deadline is 6 June 2014, so get going and good luck!

Research Associate - Linked Data for Digital Humanities, University of Oxford In-Reply-To: <538DFD36.3040403@it.ox.ac.uk> Research Associate - Linked Data University of Oxford - Oxford e-Research Centre Closes: 23rd June 2014 We are seeking a Research Associate which is a technical role working on Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies that support research in Digital Humanities, specifically for the ElEPHaT and Transforming Musicology projects. These projects share a need for identifying and semantically linking diverse digital resources (images of books, OCRed text, digital audio, symbolic music representations etc.) and the digital methods and analysis performed over these resources by humanities researchers. In addition to applicants with existing skills in this area, we also welcome those with experience using Linked Data in other fields who are looking to apply their skills and knowledge to new disciplines. The ElEPHaT project, a joint project between the centre and the Bodleian Digital Libraries, will use Linked Data to create worksets combining digitised content from the large-scale (11 million+ volumes) HathiTrust collection and the fully human-transcribed EEBO-TCP (Early English Books Online - Text Creation Partnership) corpus. These worksets will form the basis for new scholarly investigations of these texts on a large scale and the insights that will emerge from such study. The AHRC funded Transforming Musicology project sets out to bring computational techniques, such as those developed in the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) community, to bear on the discipline of musicology as it evolves and adapts to a digital age. The University of Oxford e-Research Centre leads the creation of a semantic framework for the project which will describe these new digital methods, linking them to the results they produce and the music resources over which analysis has been undertaken, again using Semantic Web and Linked Data approaches, and tackling challenges such as reuse, reproducibility and citation of the methods and data. This is a 2-year fixed-term post in the first instance, at Grade 7. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on 23 June 2014. Interviews will be held on 9 July 2014 Full details can be found at: https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=113457 _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id BBCA663A8; Wed, 4 Jun 2014 00:53:19 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1B96C63A6; Wed, 4 Jun 2014 00:53:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0BCCB63A3; Wed, 4 Jun 2014 00:53:06 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140603225307.0BCCB63A3@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 00:53:06 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.82 new HathiTrust dataset X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 82.

HTRC Extracted Features Dataset: https://sandbox.htrc.illinois.edu/HTRC-UI-Portal2/Features Features are data attributes defined in such a way that they can be identified by a computer and analyzed at scale. The HTRC Feature Extraction alpha dataset has already processed the underlying text, identifying headers and footers, rejoining hyphenated words, and offering page-level details such as: - term-frequency counts, per section (head/body/footer), per page - occurrences of terms as different parts of speech - line counts and sentence counts - character counts at the start or end of lines Since it is currently in alpha version, we are looking for feedback on how data like this can help you in your research and how we can better serve the scholarly community. Today's dataset is built upon the HathiTrust's non-Google-digitized public domain volumes - that is, the original scanned representations of all the texts can be accessed through the HathiTrust. We have features for 67,932,813 pages from 250,178 volumes, spanning nearly six hundred years. The median date of the material is 1899, and the text is primarily English. While this alpha release originates from public domain data, this type of extracted feature dataset also provides a road map toward non-consumptive research on works not in the public domain, since the features, though useful for scholarly research purposes, are not sufficient to reconstruct the text itself. The HTRC is a collaborative research center launched jointly by Indiana University and the University of Illinois. In conjunction with the HathiTrust Digital Library, the HTRC team strives to meet the technical challenges that researchers face when dealing with massive amounts of digital text, by developing cutting-edge software tools and cyberinfrastructure to enable advanced computational access to the growing digital record of human knowledge.

The aim of this symposium is to consider recent theoretical developments in the humanities and social sciences in relation to personal medical devices, and to address important gaps in understanding such as the differences between wearable and non-wearable devices, the ontological implications of personal devices for concepts of the body, the self, and technology, and the extent to which such questions may arise with particular force owing to 'new' technologies. The symposium will combine invited and submitted papers from established and emerging scholars. Paper proposals should consist of: * a paper title * authors/co-authors * a short abstract of fewer than 300 characters * a long abstract of fewer than 250 words.

This no longer appears to work well if the 'HTML' bit is HTML5." How so? It's not that I wish to take issue with the questions raised by your post. Rather, I am concerned that you may be working under (or at any rate communicating) a misimpression. (Just last week I was generating HTML5-based EPUB3 from an XML pipeline....) I think the conference topic is intended not as a smokescreen for the question "has XML failed" or "what do we XMLers do now?" (worthy as they may be) but rather to reflect on a situation that is rather more complicated. XML has never won a firm foothold in the browser, but this hardly means it is not useful or viable for anything at all.

We have two experts in data mapping tools flying up from Melbourne University to run the workshops. This event will be about how to turn cultural and communications research into physical and interactive maps using CartoDB and TileMill. Participants will learn all the skills to make a beautiful map; from making their data geospatially compliant through to using a cartography formatting language to tell a story with the map. Please see the attached flyer for full details. It will be an enjoyable and informative couple of days with food and drinks supplied free of cost.

The workshop will address applications of "big data" in the humanities, arts, culture, and social science, and the challenges and possibilities that such increased scale brings for scholarship in these areas. Full papers, of up to 9 pages, should be submitted via the conference online submission system. We also encouraged submission of short papers (up to 4 pages) reporting work in progress. The submission deadline is 30 August 2014. All papers accepted will be included in the proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press, which will be made available at the conference.

Their task is hence intrinsically interpretative, and relies heavily on the mobilization of both perceptual and conceptual cognitive processes. This talk will present a number of conceptual and perceptual processes that were identified through ethnographic studies of scholars at work and linked to the cognitive sciences literature. Some show embodied cognition at work, others show the role of unconscious knowledge in the act of interpretation of Ancient Textual Artefacts. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

In this one-day seminar The Centre for Disruptive Media in collaboration with BOM will explore the rise of 'hacktivism' and its relationship to creativity. Hacktivism, described as "politically motivated hacking" by cultural theorist Tim Jordan, is an approach sometimes used by artists, software designers and synthetic biologists to highlight ethical issues in digital culture. This seminar fuses debates around creative practice and hacktivism, focussing on key projects that have highlighted issues with surveillance, bio-ethics and the pursuit of 'free' information. The seminar will take place in BOM's new space at 1 Dudley Street, Birmingham B5 4EG prior to the building's refurbishment and BOM's launch this autumn.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 05 Jun 2014 10:28:05 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: assumptions of modelling Joshua Epstein's "Why Model?", in the Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 11.4, to which Ken Kahn pointed us in Humanist 28.78, is as admirably clear as the piece by Jay Forrester for which I expressed admiration along with my reservations. Well worth reading and keeping for passing on to others. But I find it ironic that in the championing of computational modelling's ability to ferret out hidden assumptions, at least one hidden assumption is made: that everything can be on the table in plain sight and should be. I don't want to advocate some sort of mysticism, but it seems to me that Epstein's and Forrester's shared assumption has its limits. It is limited by the shortfall of computational languages and procedures to capture all that we know about complex objects of study, such as a work of art or literature, or more accurately, to capture from them "the sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known" (Shklovsky, "Art as Technique"). I want to begin by asking: what role does this "sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known" play in interpretative scholarship? Let us assume the greatest work of art and its greatest interpreter. Surely the sensation Shklovsky says it is art's function to communicate is not an assumption, hidden or otherwise, but is taken from or given by the work and communicated through the scholarship without assumption of anything.

I understand Desmond doesn't like XML as a format, and yes it has its limitations, but personally my uses of it allow for solving of these with simple out-of-line or standoff markup techniques that work fine in XML. However, I would certainly be interested in examples of HTML5 that I can't generate from some XML? I mean using XSLT I've produced all *sorts* of bizarre outputs in the past. I understand Desmond especially doesn't like 'embedded markup', and he certainly is right that trying to do too many things with too many hierarchies is problematic (mostly because of lack of good tools). Personally in such situations I use a individualistic combination of out-of-line markup with just in time trees sort of approach, but rarely need to do so. But I do so in XML, which is perfectly happy modelling such things. Inmy experience mostly people want to just switch from an intellectual structure to a document-centric (page-by-page) hierarchy or similar which is (and has been for a long time) a solved problem. The TEI-C even provides an XSLT stylesheet for doing just this! Striving for perfect elegance of data models is an interesting theoretical exercise but for those building things the existing pragmatic solutions win out. > (Just last week I was generating HTML5-based EPUB3 from an XML pipeline....)

I don't view developments in HTML5 as problematic to XML, just like I don't view developments in RDF or JSON as problematic to XML. These are all data formats which are best-suited to different uses. For example, I don't care if people want to use JSON for their mobile apps (makes sense to me!), that doesn't herald a death knell for richer formats like XML, it is about appropriate use of data formats with appropriate granularity for differing uses. I'd bet that if anyone is hand coding a richly marked up scholarly digital edition of a complicated text in JSON then either their edition will suck or they are ignorant of better ways sucks or they are an idiot. People who presuppose that the existence of HTML5 is problematic for XML seem to have an extremely limited view of the potential uses of XML. I produce research data XML which in no way is intended for web (or mobile app, or epub) output but to be queried and analysed; how is HTML5 in any way a challenge for that? I do think HTML5 is a poorly designed markup language with many flaws. As I'm chair of the TEI Technical Council I occasionally get people telling me (and it is always 'telling' never 'asking') that because of $formatTheyLove the TEI is now outdated/not usable. This confuses the data format with the application or vocabulary. TEI P3 (and before) was in SGML because that was the most appropriate format, XML has been a boon because of its wide adoption and many tools (and ease of building new tools). TEI P4 and P5 are in XML, and the TEI Consortium releases updates and improvements to the TEI P5 Guidelines regularly. The TEI's own doctrine of when it will move to successive major proposals includes the emergence of new technologies (such as the shift from SGML to XML). The TEI Guidelines are recommendations expressed in prose that we also model in a meta-schema language (ODD) and generate schemas since this enables distinct vocabularies, subsets, or extensions of TEI to be documented in machine processable formats. The TEI is happy to receive There is nothing stopping the TEI from moving to the next great format when it is clear what that format is and it is suitable for in-depth textual data representation and it has significant technical, popular, and application support in many different related communities. Currently, I remain unconvinced that this data format is HTML5, RDF, JSON, CSV, LaTeX, Markdown, PDF, Docx, or LMNL, etc. But the benefit of the TEI is that we're open to change. Also, like all in the TEI Council, I'm elected by the community and only one voice on the Council, so you could change this in the future. The TEI Consortium currently support conversions from/to all sorts of formats and will likely continue to do so, if you want to contribute conversions to $formatYouLove please do so at https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets.

It seems particularly opportune to do so in light of the dramatically lower costs of devices for 3D data capture and display. Papers fitting one or more of the following three descriptions would be especially welcome: (1) cultural heritage projects exploiting Augmented Reality and/or immersive, 3D display devices such as the Oculus Rift; (2) projects collecting 3D data using low-cost devices and methods such as SfM, Kinect or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles; (3) 3D modeling projects (especially those involving reconstructions) that have as their goal not simply illustrating previously existing knowledge of the past but serving as tools to see or understand features of the past that can only emerge after we have made the 3D model. Papers should concentrate less on the "how" of 3D modeling (fairly well understood by now) than on the "why" (i.e., what is the scientific gain in knowledge that results from applying the new technology?). Topics falling into category (1) should, whenever possible, provide the results of summative assessment: we are interested not simply in bright ideas and clever demonstrations but in proof of concept or full-scale deployment. For example, if a claim is made that AR can help promote better public understanding of cultural heritage, did the pilot AR project actually produce measurably positive results? Topics falling into category (2) should ideally include a comparison of the results of using low-cost and high-end data gathering devices. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the low-cost approach? Is a low-cost device good for certain cultural heritage applications but not others? For example, we welcome a paper comparing the resolution and accuracy of 3D meshes of a statue resulting from a SfM approach vs. one resulting from traditional scanning. Papers of two lengths are invited: short (fifteen minutes, or less); and long (twenty minutes). Applicants should indicate the length of time they would need for their presentation. Each paper, no matter its length, will be followed by five minutes of discussion and debate. To facilitate a lively discussion of the papers in Vienna, all participants are required to circulate a written draft of their talks to the other participants no later than October 1, 2014. The papers accepted will be published as a special issue in Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage, a new online, peer-reviewed journal started in 2012 by the organizers. For details, see: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/digital-applications-in-archaeology-and-cultural-heritage/ Abstracts of a minimum of 200 words to a maximum of 300 words must be submitted by noon CET on Friday, July 11, 2014. Abstracts should be filed online at: http://www.chnt.at/call-for-paper/ Inquiries should be directed to the session organizers: Bernard Frischer (Bernard.d.frischer@gmail.com) and Gabriele Guidi (g.guidi@ieee.org). -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, and Research Group in Digital Humanities, University of Western Sydney --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 15:53:24 +0100 From: Gareth Beale Subject: Digital Heritage 2014: Registration Now Open The Centre for Digital Heritage at the University of York are pleased to announce that registration for Digital Heritage 2014 is now open.

We will give an overview of the structure of a traditional epigraphic or papyrological edition, and show how TEI elements are mapped to the semantic distinctions and fields therein, followed by a parallel discussion of the Leiden Conventions and how we map TEI elements to the semantic features that they represent. The core of the training will be hands-on experience of encoding and displaying transcriptions and editions of ancient texts. The audience for this workshop may include scholars at all levels, from students to professors, or professionals with an interest in epigraphic or classical texts and digital encoding. Participants who have a classical background but only relatively basic understanding of TEI and XML are welcome, as are scholars with more knowledge of TEI but a different disciplinary background, who might be interested in applying EpiDoc to source texts of other languages and periods. We shall not expect to explain the principles of TEI or the use of an XML editor, but will make every effort to accommodate participants from a range of backgrounds and expertise. -- Simona Stoyanova Research Associate Digital Humanities Department of Computer Science University of Leipzig Augustusplatz 10 04109 Leipzig, Germany _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id EAC376149; Fri, 6 Jun 2014 22:14:00 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2B36D6625; Fri, 6 Jun 2014 22:13:52 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 10BA56620; Fri, 6 Jun 2014 22:13:49 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140606201350.10BA56620@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 22:13:49 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.91 jobs: at CLARIN, Lausanne X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 91.

Modelling is one (but not the only) method we can use for such free, critical thought. But freedom is always limited in real work (and life). When we build a model we use building blocks, such as standards, and those are taken from somewhere. Like TEI used for modelling of texts, or CIDOC-CRM for modelling of historical events. They are useful, but also dangerous, as among others Vika Zafrin have pointed out (Zafrin, V. (2007). RolandHT, a hypertext and corpus study. PhD thesis, Brown University: 66). They help us, but may also make it harder to see what is outside the ways of the standard. So should we abandon these pre-existing standards? In some cases we should. But this is not enough. Our thinking is formed by the way we know modelling. Our language. And so we run into the hermeneutical wheel of confusion. As we said quite a few years ago now: the only position outside of patriarchic language is madness. We can leave language behind, but then, what do we have? I agree in Epstein's main line of thought. He does not claim "I don't know" as anything but an attitude, a way of behaving. You can pretend not to know, but that is and must be pretending. Make believe. Modelling as fiction. Fiction also at this deeper political level, in addition to for instance what we see in Fictions in Science (Suarez, Mauricio. Fictions in Science : Philosophical Essays on Modeling and Idealization: Routledge, 2009). So, modelling as a way to keep us free? I like that. Freedom must be won every day, at many levels.

She said two things that stuck in my mind: first that her research consisted of "building plants" for various beneficial purposes, second that she was strongly motivated to get children to be ever more curious about the natural world, to want to be scientists so that they could follow where that curiosity would lead them. For the phrase "building plants" to become so common among biologists that it would be so casually used, without explanation in a public forum, is a cognitive sign of the times. It's a marker of a cultural change that, I would suppose, we technologically orientated sorts should pay a great deal of attention to. If plants can be built using the biological materials some (significantly) call "gene chips", then what about human cultural artefacts? The second remark causes me to wonder why we seem to have considerably more trouble stirring up the curiosity of others by showing them what can be done with computing. Does the problem lie with a deep difference between natural and cultural artefacts? Why should an image in a microscope, say, be more interesting than a KWIC concordance? Is it because the latter, involving a text to which one has to be attuned, presents a much steeper learning curve? Comments?

It aims at updating them about the most recent developments in the fast developing area of big data, which covers a large spectrum of current exciting research, development and innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. All big data subareas will be displayed, namely: foundations, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big data will be identified through 5 keynote lectures and 23 six-hour courses, which will tackle the most lively and promising topics. The organizers believe outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. ADDRESSED TO: Graduate and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be differences in the course levels, specific knowledge background may be required for some of them. BigDat 2015 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators. REGIME: In addition to keynotes, 3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.

Reviewers and the Editorial Board will be comprised of students, with the aim of providing volunteers with an opportunity to develop their writing and critical analysis skills, and gain experience of working collaboratively as part of an editorial team. It should also provide a place to publish good-quality student work in this emerging multidisciplinary area that might otherwise sit on a shelf somewhere. We're keen to engage with students from across the Humanities on this, and would be delighted if we could get the word out that we are seeking Reviewers, Editorial Board members and, of course, Authors. The journal is entitled Press Start, and full details are available on the website: http://press-start.gla.ac.uk/ Many thanks - I hope this isn't too presumptuous a message for the list!

Øyvind Eide said: > When we build a model we use building blocks, such as standards, and > those are taken from somewhere.[... They are useful, but also > dangerous, [...]. They help us, but may also make it harder to see > what is outside the ways of the standard. That's true, but not necessarily problematic. Earlier, Willard quoted Jacob Epstein giving a rather popperian account of science, focusing on falsifiability. I've always found Popper's account of science rather unpersuasive -- I'm no expert, but he seems to give a convincing explanation for a terribly thin model of science. Kuhn's model is much more persuasive, which alternates between long periods of 'normal science', where a discipline chugs along solving puzzles thrown up by a particular model which represents an almost universal consensus, but punctuated by periodic eruptions where a model is agreed to have broken down, and is replaced as soon as some rough consensus condenses around a replacement model. Kuhn's science is definitely progressive, but on a ratchet. So Øyvind Eide's remark is true -- the model does constrain thought -- but to the extent that Kuhn's description is accurate, it illustrates first that this constraint can be productive, and second that it needn't rule out 'militant ignorance' when that radical doubt is productive in turn. The analogy isn't perfect. Kuhn's model depends on a discipline being able to identify a clear set of outstanding puzzles ('anomalies') which firmly resist puzzle-type solution, and which turn out to be the cracks which can be prised open to cause the paradigm to crumble That's reasonable in the physical (and life) sciences, because they are (partly by definition?) areas where precisely identified puzzles can be generated by precisely articulated models. The extent to which that is harder in the humane sciences, is the extent to which the analogy breaks down. But this still seems to show how the virtues of 'militant ignorance' can be reserved to special occasions: you get on with building high turrets, and examine the foundations only when they look like crumbling under the weight of accumulated architecture. It's the turrets show you where the foundations _actually_ fail.

I associate the introduction of physics labs with Maxwell, though he was there somewhat earlier than this. Todhunter's outraged perplexity is intelligible and reasonable, even though it is very very wrong. It's not at all clear why a (necessarily very abstracted and scripted) lab exercise can be so powerfully illuminating, while a faithful simulation of a richer system can leave a student, or me, cold. Similarly, a view through a microscope is much more arresting than a (possibly better quality) image of the same thing. I suspect it's something to do with the graspability of the microscope slide or the air puck (my grasp of 'momentum' is firmly rooted in a decades-ago undergraduate physics lab and my astonishment that the puck did what it was expected to do). It's as if we need the forced tactile reassurance that the world is actually there, out there, and not down there on paper, and that the image in the microscope really, genuinely, messily is connected with the foul goo on the slide. The world without that reassurance is a very different place. So a book is qualitatively different from the facsimile of a book, and the manifest cross-referencing of a talmud (see eg http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/new_formations/v078/78.drucker_fig07.html ) is more arresting than the XML of a concordance. We can feel how thick the book is; we can merely know its extent on disk. No matter that a painting -- even an iconic painting -- is a cultural artefact, and no matter how much we tell ourselves it doesn't matter, there's still a feeling inescapably distinct about being in a gallery in the real Presence of the artist's brushmarks. Magic! More trivially (though not unimportantly), we are so used to computers as sources of illusion and malevolent or playful deceit, that we probably simply _believe_ an online thing less. It might be just a transient thing, but perhaps online things will never be properly real. (whatever 'real' means, *mumble, mumble...*) Best wishes, Norman -- Norman Gray : http://nxg.me.uk SUPA School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, UK _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D4BE96207; Mon, 9 Jun 2014 23:09:45 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A11D161CA; Mon, 9 Jun 2014 23:09:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1145A6050; Mon, 9 Jun 2014 23:09:34 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20140609210935.1145A6050@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2014 23:09:34 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.101 simulating textual transmission X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 101.

However, I would suggest to Tim that a deeper analysis of the results is called for. Examining the effects of varying just one parameter: trend, draws one interesting conclusion. But what else may be deduced by varying the other parameters, I wonder.

This year our theme is ‘Museums Beyond the Web’, and we welcome perspectives from related disciplines, including public history and the digital humanities. What does ‘the web’ mean to those of us working with digital and museums today? Increasingly, our visitors’ online experiences are moving away from the humble browser (though perhaps email will always be with us). From simple mobile apps and games to the internet of things and wearable technology, new forms are displacing the World Wide Web as our primary experience of being connected to the internet. While new technologies offer ever-more different ways of being digital, digital disciplines are advancing rapidly. Is ‘experience’ the new core of digital for visitors? Is ‘service design’ a better way of looking at what we do than ‘web design’ or even ‘user experience’? And in our organisations, are all departments ‘digital departments’ now? At the same time, many of the advances in museums technology in recent years, like Linked Open Data, are crucially dependent on an open and interoperable World Wide Web. Museums across the globe recently raised their voices to protest against threats to net neutrality: we know that the value of cultural heritage online can only thrive on an equal and open internet. What web freedoms do we need to preserve to benefit museums and our audiences? UKMW14: Museums Beyond the Web will tackle these issues and more. Digital museum professionals and the museum-curious alike will find this day conference a useful, interesting and enriching experience. Don’t miss tickets going on sale: sign up for occasional event notices from our low-traffic MCG Events list to make sure you’re one of the first to know when tickets go on sale.http://eepurl.com/r3Y6H The Call for Papers for UKMW14 is now open at http://bit.ly/UKMW14CfP he UKMW14 call for proposals closes at midnight (London time) on June 30. Proposals will be reviewed over July and we aim to let people know the results on August 1st. Like the web, the shape of our theme may experience rapid change, as we're hoping for a range of creative responses from within and without the cultural heritage sector. If you have any questions or can't view the proposal form at http://bit.ly/UKMW14CfP then please email contact@museumscomputergroup.org.uk. If you have suggestions for keynote speakers, or would like to help out on our Programme Committee, please drop us a line!

The complete call is here: http://www.journalofelectronicpublishing.org/cfp.html. New Forms of Expression: Since the widespread market and consumer adoption of computers as communication devices both publishers and readers have speculated that the nature of expression will change in order to take advantage of the affordances and potential of digital delivery and online availability. In this issue, JEP seeks to report on and assess the changes in creative and scholarly expression made possible by and in response to digital technology. On Access: Access (as Merriam-Webster would have it, “freedom or ability to obtain or make use of something”) has long been a central concern for libraries, which work to ensure the greatest availability of information for the greatest number at the least possible cost. Increasingly, access is also part of the lingua franca of publishing, that allied information profession, probably most audibly around the topic of open access, or removing economic barriers to access, but also around issues of technology, equal access for users with disabilities and addressing financial disparities such as the economic status of impoverished and developing nations. JEP invites explorations and discussions of access on all these fronts. We seek articles from practitioners concerned with questions of access as well as from users whose work has been affected by access barriers or their removal. Complete information is available in the call, but also feel free to respond to me off list if you have article ideas (or suggestions for authors!). I look forward to hearing from some of you. And don't forget to drop by our recently released education and training issue and take a hypothes.is for a test drive.

I want to comment on that note by asking a question or two. To recall, he says the following: > It's not at all clear why a (necessarily very abstracted and > scripted) lab exercise can be so powerfully illuminating, while a > faithful simulation of a richer system can leave a student, or me, > cold. > > Similarly, a view through a microscope is much more arresting than a > (possibly better quality) image of the same thing. > > I suspect it's something to do with the graspability of the > microscope slide or the air puck (my grasp of 'momentum' is firmly > rooted in a decades-ago undergraduate physics lab and my astonishment > that the puck did what it was expected to do). It's as if we need the > forced tactile reassurance that the world is actually there, out > there, and not down there on paper, and that the image in the > microscope really, genuinely, messily is connected with the foul goo > on the slide. The world without that reassurance is a very different > place. > > So a book is qualitatively different from the facsimile of a book, > and the manifest cross-referencing of a talmud... is more arresting > than the XML of a concordance.

My favourite example is from memory: a professor in a physics lecture drawing a hyperbolic then an exponential curve on the chalkboard. What stuck with me was the kinaesthetics, the feel of his performing those two curves. Powerpoint's povery in this regard, and others, is great. But my question now: Is the digitally mediated disconnect between the scholar and the artefact a source of difficulty across the board for digital scholarship, and if so, what is to be done about it? Is the price of manipulability too great?

It seems particularly opportune to do so in light of the dramatically lower costs of devices for 3D data capture and display. Papers fitting one or more of the following three descriptions would be especially welcome: (1) cultural heritage projects exploiting Augmented Reality and/or immersive, 3D display devices such as the Oculus Rift; (2) projects collecting 3D data using low-cost devices and methods such as SfM, Kinect or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles; (3) 3D modeling projects (especially those involving reconstructions) that have as their goal not simply illustrating previously existing knowledge of the past but serving as tools to see or understand features of the past that can only emerge *after* we have made the 3D model. Papers should concentrate less on the “how” of 3D modeling (fairly well understood by now) than on the “why” (i.e., what is the scientific gain in knowledge that results from applying the new technology?). Topics falling into category (1) should, whenever possible, provide the results of summative assessment: we are interested not simply in bright ideas and clever demonstrations but in proof of concept or full-scale deployment. For example, if a claim is made that AR can help promote better public understanding of cultural heritage, did the pilot AR project actually produce measurably positive results? Topics falling into category (2) should ideally include a comparison of the results of using low-cost and high-end data gathering devices. What are the strengths and weaknesses of the low-cost approach? Is a low-cost device good for certain cultural heritage applications but not others? For example, we welcome a paper comparing the resolution and accuracy of 3D meshes of a statue resulting from a SfM approach vs. one resulting from traditional scanning. Papers of two lengths are invited: short (fifteen minutes, or less); and long (twenty minutes). Applicants should indicate the length of time they would need for their presentation. Each paper, no matter its length, will be followed by five minutes of discussion and debate. To facilitate a lively discussion of the papers in Vienna, all participants are required to circulate a written draft of their talks to the other participants no later than October 1, 2014. The papers accepted will be published as a special issue in *Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage*, a new online, peer-reviewed journal started in 2012 by the organizers. For details, see: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/digital-applications-in-archaeology-and-cultural-heritage/ Abstracts of a minimum of 200 words to a maximum of 300 words must be submitted by noon CET on Friday, July 11, 2014. Abstracts should be filed online at: http://www.chnt.at/call-for-paper/ Inquiries should be directed to the session organizers: Bernard Frischer ( Bernard.d.frischer@gmail.com) and Gabriele Guidi (g.guidi@ieee.org). -- Bernard Frischer www.frischerconsulting.com/frischer *Permanent Home Address:* 130 Terrell Road East Charlottesville, Virginia home tel.: +1-434-971-1435 cell: +1-310-266-0183 *Address of Rome Apartment:* Via F.

Using these approaches, scholars can ask new questions of literature and culture, while also intervening in existing debates. And with the publication of a variety of anthologies, handbooks, and treatises addressing the Digital Humanities in general, we now have the opportunity to focus attention on specific periods and movements in literary and cultural history. Reading Modernism with Machines aims to bring together the most rigorous and exciting modernist criticism to have been conducted using computers. Each submission should offer a case study of modernist literary and cultural analysis conducted using a computational approach. While methodologies should be outlined, the majority of each submission should be reserved for humanistic discussions, which should be based on, or supplemented by, any electronic analyses. Submissions will be judged based on 1) the innovation and sophistication of the digital tools used in the analysis, 2) the essay’s broader impact on modernist studies, and 3) the degree to which computational analysis and literary/cultural interpretation merge cohesively. Submissions Initial proposals of ~500 words are due by September 31st, 2014 (Where appropriate, sample graphics, tables, tools, or datasets may also be submitted with proposal.) Final submissions of ~6,000 - 8,000 words are due by January 31st, 2015 Submissions should be sent to James O’Sullivan (jco12@psu.edu) and Shawna Ross (smross3@asu.edu) -- James O'Sullivan @jamescosullivan http://twitter.com/jamescosullivan Web: josullivan.org http://josullivan.org _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E2B1E6330; Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:06:28 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 28B496321; Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:06:20 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D87C1631F; Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:06:18 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140611200618.D87C1631F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 11 Jun 2014 22:06:18 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.110 the price of manipulability X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 110.

A very laden word indeed, 'real'. Norman Gray's message made my fingers tickle to engage with his words, but I shout my mouth off here all too often already, I suppose. But if you keep at it, I'll add my two cents. Norman's words describing the distinction in 'realness' between the lab experiment and the simulation struck me as quaint. It suggests a latent ethical or esthetic superiority with the factuality of the lab, and a lesser so reality for simulacrums. This may be well his view and experience, but the generalization (that I might be too eager to read into it) is in my experience not tennable. People more read in various fields should speak more proper to this, but I offer this observation as a counter example: to my daughter Minecraft is far more real than Legos. The reality of Legos never took with her—I might simply have been pushing too hard I admit—although she duely and dully builds along at times. I had all but given up, and pitied a soul lost for the joy of building. But to my enjoyment she has been fanatically stacking blocks ever since she first set eyes on the computer game. To her the reality of the self created virtual dwelling in Minecraft has all the attributes I think Norman latently attributes to the lab. Likewise for her the Legos miss the kinesthetics and excitement that you experienced looking at the blackboard. So, I think the non-trivial effect computational simulation may have is that it makes *more* things real in adding perspectives and experiences, at least for those that have the ability still for non-primed engagement with other types of reality. Might it be that, more than mere tactile feedback and factuality, properties such as excitement of the new, the surprise, the sudden dawning of a creative potential are primarily responsible for our experiencing something as real? And from that I would argue that the price for manipulability is not too great: if anything it adds more vantage points to experiencing what is real. That doesn't sound like epistemological poverty to me. Besides: unlimited Legos, man!

Please consider submitting a proposal for paper or project presentations and disseminate the announcement. Best, Arianna ========================================= Cultural Literacy in Europe First International Conference – London, 16-18 April 2015 Deadline for submission of proposals: 31 August 2014 Registration will open on 1 July 2014 This international conference will bring together academics interested in the development of Literary and Cultural Studies (LCS) in Europe and beyond, as well as policymakers at European and national level. The language of the Conference will be English. First set up in 2007 by the European Science Foundation Standing Committee for the Humanities,Cultural Literacy in Europe ran as an ESF-COST synergy 2009-2012 including international interdisciplinary workshops in four areas of LCS research – Cultural memory, Migration & Translation, Electronic textuality and Biopolitics, biosociality and the body. The initial two outcomes were an ESF-COST Science Policy Briefing ( http://www.esf.org/hosting-experts/scientific-review-groups/humanities-hum/publications.html - no 48), published in January 2013, and a volume,From Literature to Cultural Literacy ( http://us.macmillan.com/fromliteraturetoculturalliteracy/NaomiSegal), coedited by Naomi Segal and Daniela Koleva, published by Palgrave Macmillan in July 2014. No longer restricted to studying manuscripts, printed books or other language based genres in a philological mode, LCS researchers are now concerned rather with four essential conceptual elements, using them to describe, analyse and evaluate what may broadly be called the symbolic dimension of humanity’s relationship with material reality: textuality, rhetoricity, fictionality, and historicity. These concepts both represent crucial structures and processes at work in cultural objects and at the same time offer key techniques for understanding them. Working often together or in comparative engagement, they indicate ways in which all knowledge, all social activity, can be read. ________________________________ The Steering Committee of the 2015 Conference invites proposals for individual papers and project presentations. *** Submission Topics *** Proposals should refer to one or more of the following areas: Current developments and issues in LCS research in any of the four fields: Cultural memory; Migration & Translation; Digital textuality; Biopolitics, biosociality and the body. How LCS already relates to the social and cultural challenges of 21st-century Europe; How LCS can continue to do so in the future. See also additional ideas for topics: http://cleurope.eu/conference/call-for-papers/call-for-paper-additional-topics/ *** Submission Types *** Individual papers — These are academic papers. They will be grouped into parallel sessions: each paper will be 15 minutes long followed by questions. Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including bibliography). Project presentations — These are presentations of projects which are successful examples of LCS research with impact on social and cultural challenges. They will be presented in a plenary panel: each presentation will be 10 minutes followed by discussion. Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including bibliography). *** Submission Procedure *** Proposals must be submitted by 31 August 2014 on-line (link for submission available soon). Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including bibliography). *** Bursaries *** A number of Early-Career Bursaries, worth £245 [€300] each, to offset conference expenses, are available, closing date also on 31 August 2014. To be eligible, applicants must have obtained PhD no more than 8 years ago and with successful viva completed by the time of the conference. You do not need to be giving a paper/project presentation at the conference to be considered for a bursary.

This year’s program includes a panel discussion called “Publishing in the Digital Humanities”: There are significant initiatives at many campuses to invest in the digital humanities. While DH has become a proxy for a lot of different issues, as humanities publishers, it's becoming more and more likely that we will need to expand the capacity for what it is we can publish. DH scholars may continue to write long-form text, but more and more often it will be embedded with DH features such as multimedia files, spatial mapping, data sets, archives, and social sandboxes. How will we publish these? How will these affect the work of editorial, marketing, production, and other staff? What types of collaborations will presses need in order to "publish" these new multimodal books? Will these books be digital-only? This panel will be light on presentations and heavy on Q&A and interactivity, so the panelists invite even those who can’t attend in person to tweet questions and comments in advance to #AAUP14DH.

RETHINKING TEXT REUSE AS DIGITAL CLASSICISTS DH 2014, Lausanne, 10 July 2014, 09:00-10:30 Amphimax, room 410 Text reuse – the meaningful reiteration of text, usually beyond the simple repetition of common language – is a broad concept that can naturally be understood at different levels and studied in a large variety of contexts. This panel will gather researchers from different projects focussing on text reuse in the field of Digital Classics with the aim of discussing the possible approaches to and understandings of the notion. It will also bring together current efforts and lay the ground for further research. Conveners: Aurélien Berra (Université Paris-Ouest & EHESS) Matteo Romanello (German Archaeological Institute & King’s College London) Alexandra Trachsel (University of Hamburg) Invited participants: Monica Berti (University of Leipzig) Chris Forstall (University at Buffalo, SUNY) Annette Geßner (University of Leipzig) Charlotte Tupman (King’s College London) For more information and the panel’s programme, please visit < http://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Text_Reuse>.

It will produce a searchable digital edition of representative examples of early modern Latin poetry in English manuscripts, and a body of print publications analysing this almost unstudied wealth of material. We address the typical genres and forms of neo-Latin poetry in manuscript and how they are used; the relationship between original Latin and English poetry in manuscript sources; and the political significance of such poetry. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

Do we expand the domain marked by "the fence of the Law", as Jacob Bronowski said, or must we, finite creatures that we are, shrink it in one area in order to extend it elsewhere? I suppose this is the problem of human attention regarded as a limited resource, because of our mortality. But is this the wisdom of recognizing our limits or an unwise act of self-limitation? Do we thus underestimate ourselves and what we are capable of? Something surely is lost when we turn from a physical codex to a simulacrum of it, from a reading of a poem to a processing of it, from a viewing of a painting to a high-def image, from a performance of an opera to some virtual repackaging. I am as deeply suspicious of sentimentalizing an imagined past as Joris is (or so I hope), but I'm even more apprehensive of the self-limiting act. Let others enforce the limits if they can; let the biological limit come when it does. Wasn't it Abraham Maslow who argued that we should take the human norm from the best and most accomplished of our kind? OK, personal agonies should remain personal. But when it comes to making arguments for this or that aspect of digitization I think we need to be clear about the problems I am circling here, since it's abundantly clear that people quite often take the turn from the artefact to the simulacrum to be a final turn, to be a final closure, to be a giving up of something old and obsolete for something new and more likely to attract approval. Why not both/and?

They can be given behaviours. Because of this many prefer virtual over real. Whether they begin to think of them as 'real' is unclear. In many cases virtual reconstructions are wonderful to explore. Contrast exploring the solar system using the World Wide Telescope ( http://www.worldwidetelescope.org/) with a backyard telescope. Norman's comment "Similarly, a view through a microscope is much more arresting than a (possibly better quality) image of the same thing." probably holds for many people. But the virtual objects need not be accessed only as static images, their strength is in being dynamic and interactive. When a virtual space is experienced with good virtual reality headsets people do forget that they aren't experiencing the 'real world' (at least so claimed a virtual reality researcher from Sony at a conference at Imperial College last week). -ken kahn On 11 June 2014 21:06, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 110. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2014 23:31:09 +0200 > From: Joris van Zundert > Subject: Re: 28.105 the price of manipulability > In-Reply-To: <20140610200117.20B236190@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Dear Willard, > > I think one should be carefull about whatever we call real, or rather what > things we choose to raise to that ontological status and thus what > things we deny that status by which ever way we condemn them to be not > real.

I hope you’ll share this announcement with scholars you believe would be interested in our program. With thanks and best wishes, Cassie Mansfield Vice President for Scholarly Programs National Humanities Center 7 T.W. Alexander Drive Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 919-549-0661 NATIONAL HUMANITIES CENTER Residential Fellowships 2015-2016 The National Humanities Center seeks applicants for academic-year or one-semester residencies. Fellowship applicants must have a PhD or equivalent scholarly credentials. Emerging scholars as well as senior scholars are encouraged to apply, but they must have a strong record, normally a book or other major peer-reviewed project. The Center does not normally support the revision of a doctoral dissertation. In addition to scholars from all fields of the humanities, the Center invites individuals from the natural and social sciences, the arts, the professions, and public life who are engaged in humanistic projects to apply. Applicants from all parts of the world are welcome; U.S. citizenship is not a requirement. Location and Facilities. Located in the progressive Triangle region of North Carolina, the Center affords access to the rich cultural and intellectual communities supported by the area’s many research institutes and universities. The Center’s award-winning building in the Research Triangle Park fosters individual research and the exchange of ideas. Each Fellow has a private study and 24-hour access to conference rooms, a central commons for dining, lounges, reading areas, a reference library, and workroom. The noted library service delivers books and research materials; IT support and copy editing services are also provided. Areas of Special Interest. Most of the Center’s fellowships are unrestricted. Several, however, are designated for particular areas of research. These include a fellowship for a young woman in philosophy and fellowships for environmental studies, English literature, art history and visual studies, Asian Studies, and theology. Stipends. Fellowships are individually determined, according to the needs of the Fellow and the Center’s ability to meet them. The Center typically seeks to provide at least half salary and also covers travel expenses to and from North Carolina for Fellows and dependents. Independent scholars and scholars who do not anticipate sabbatical pay during their leaves are encouraged to apply: it is the Center’s aim to provide all fellowship recipients with stipends that meet their full financial need, even in cases where sabbatical pay or other outside funding is not available. Deadline and Application Procedures. The deadline for applications is October 15, 2014.

Juli 2014 veranstaltet das Deutsche Textarchiv (DTA) einen Workshop zum Thema "Aufbau historischer Sprachressourcen: Arbeiten mit den Angeboten des Deutschen Textarchivs". Der Workshop wendet sich an Nutzerinnen und Nutzer des DTA ebenso wie an Interessierte, die die Angebote des DTA kennenlernen möchten. Es werden bewährte und zum Teil neu im DTA entwickelte Methoden und Hilfsmittel zum Aufbau und zur Analyse von Korpora vorgestellt und deren Anwendung im Rahmen praktischer Übungen eingeübt. In zwei Themenblöcken werden die Aufbereitung von Ressourcen entsprechend den DTA-Richtlinien einerseits sowie die Arbeit mit den bestehenden DTA-Korpora andererseits näher beleuchtet. Im Rahmen des ersten Themenblocks werden verschiedene Schritte der TEI/P5-kompatiblen Aufbereitung von Ressourcen gezeigt. Grundlage bilden dabei die im DTA-Basisformat (DTABf) zusammengefassten DTA-Richtlinien zur Transkription und zur Annotation historischer Texte. Ausgehend von verschiedenen Szenarien der Textaufbereitung (bestehende Transkriptionen aus unterschiedlichen Formaten; neue Transkriptionsvorhaben) werden Hinweise zur Zuverlässigkeit von Bildvorlagen und Transkription gegeben, Möglichkeiten der halbautomatischen Konvertierung in das DTA-Basisformat vorgeführt und anhand praktischer Übungen vermittelt; die DTABf-kompatible Textaufbereitung mithilfe des DTA-oXygen-Frameworks DTAoX wird erprobt. Darüber hinaus wird gezeigt, wie mithilfe des DTAE-Metadatenformulars ein TEI-Header mit ausführlichen Metadaten zu einem historischen Dokument erstellt werden kann. Schließlich werden Methoden der Kontrolle und Überarbeitung abgeschlossener XML-Textausgaben innerhalb der Qualitätssicherungsplattform DTAQ (Ticket-System, integrierte XML-/Text-Editoren) vorgestellt. Der zweite Themenblock widmet sich den Inhalten der linguistischen Analyse im DTA und den Möglichkeiten der wissenschaftlichen Auswertung der DTA-Korpora. Die Teilnehmer/innen erhalten Einblicke in die Nutzung der im DTA verwendeten Suchmaschine DDC, welche die Auswertung des DTA-Gesamtkorpus sowie ausgewählter Teilkorpora in Hinblick auf bestimmte linguistische oder textstrukturelle Merkmale erlaubt. Über die im DTA verfügbaren Möglichkeiten der Visualisierung linguistischer Phänomene wird schließlich gezeigt, welche zusätzlichen Möglichkeiten die Integration von DTA-Korpustexten in die CLARIN-D-Infrastruktur bietet. ********************************** Best wishes, Christian Thomas -- Christian Thomas Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter Deutsches Textarchiv,www.deutschestextarchiv.de CLARIN-D,www.clarin-d.de,www.deutschestextarchiv.de/clarin_kupro Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften Jägerstr. 22/23 10117 Berlin Raum: 359 Tel.: +49 (0)30 20370 523 E-Mail:thomas@bbaw.de -- _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 160EE6134; Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:32:50 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D76076435; Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:32:41 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0D8FC642C; Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:32:39 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140612213240.0D8FC642C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:32:39 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.116 pubs: electronic journal publishing X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 116.

"Electronic Journals, Prestige, and the Economics of Academic Journal Publishing." CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture 16.1 (2014): http://dx.doi.org/10.7771/1481-4374.2426 . In their article "Electronic Journals, Prestige, and the Economics of Academic Journal Publishing" Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek and Joshua Jia discuss the current state of the academic journal publishing industry. The current state of the industry is an oligopoly based on a double appropriation model where academics produce work for at no cost only to have publishers earn significant profit margins by selling the work back to academics. Publishers are able to do this given the price inelasticity and weak bargaining power of its main consumer, university libraries. Publishers' ability to increase prices is also supported by what the authors term as the "prestige multiplier effect" and the "prestige crowd-out effect" which means the tendency for libraries to cut small publishers as large publishers raise prices because large publishers are more prestigious. To date, the usage of electronic journals has not changed this general model. Tötösy de Zepetnek and Jia argue that in order to progress towards a more equitable model of knowledge management allowing for the dissemination of knowledge globally and against the "colonialism of knowledge" a change in attitude and practices is required not only by publishers, but also by academics. Once perception changes and electronic journals obtain prestige, the publishing of scholarship electronically will replace or will be at least parallel to the prestige of print journals. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D1F4A3BF8; Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:34:05 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C60386134; Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:33:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 44D276438; Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:33:55 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140612213355.44D276438@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 12 Jun 2014 23:33:55 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.117 DH2014 news: ACH Jobs Slam X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 117.

A digitised copy of a Greek vase in 3D is far more useful to many more people than can ever visit the museum to see it. They can turn it around and look at it from below, but when in a case mounted on a wall they probably can't even get permission to look at it more closely. You can't permanently damage a model vase, but you can seriously damage a real one by dropping it. Likewise a digitised manuscript with a properly designed interactive interface on the Web is also more useful both to those than can and can't examine it for real. You can't electronically search a physical manuscript, you may not even be able to open it fully, you can't instantly compare its contents with another, or annotate it. What's lost in these cases is more than outweighed by what is gained by representing as a model. So I say hooray for Minecraft.

New technologies permit an augmentation, and not a replacement, of the traditional. This argument holds for Legos, Minecraft, reading, and text-processing. In a DH sense, there is nothing wrong with close-reading - how could we give that up in the age of digitization?

This initiative, inspired by and connected to London’s Digital Classicist Work in Progress Seminar [2], is organised in association with the German Archaeological Institute and the Excellence Cluster TOPOI. It will run during the winter term of the academic year 2014/15. We invite submissions on any kind of research which employs digital methods, resources or technologies in an innovative way in order to enable a better or new understanding of the ancient world. We encourage contributions not only from Classics but also from the entire field of "Altertumswissenschaften", to include the ancient world at large, such as Egypt and the Near East. Themes may include digital editions, natural language processing, image processing and visualisation, linked data and the semantic web, open access, spatial and network analysis, serious gaming and any other digital or quantitative methods. We welcome seminar proposals addressing the application of these methods to individual projects, and particularly contributions which show how the digital component can facilitate the crossing of disciplinary boundaries and answering new research questions. Seminar content should be of interest both to classicists, ancient historians or archaeologists, as well as to information scientists and digital humanists, with an academic research agenda relevant to at least one of these fields. Anonymised abstracts [3] of **300-500 words max.** (bibliographic references excluded) should be uploaded by **midnight (CET) on 01 August 2014** using the special submission form [4]. Although we do accept abstracts written in English as well as in German, the presentations are expected to be delivered in English (when submitting the same proposal for consideration to multiple venues, please do let us know via the submission form). The acceptance rate for the first two seminar series was of 41% (2012/13) and 31% (2014/15). Seminars will run **fortnightly on Tuesday evenings (18:00-19:30)** from October 2014 until February 2015 and will be hosted by the Excellence Cluster TOPOI and the German Archaeological Institute, both located in Berlin-Dahlem. The full programme, including the venue of each seminar, will be finalised and announced in September. As with the previous series, the video recordings of the presentations will be published online and we endeavour to provide accommodation for the speakers and contribute towards their travel expenses. There are plans to publish papers selected from the first three series of the seminar as a special issue of the new open access publication from TOPOI [5]. [1] http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/ [2] http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/ [3] The anonymised abstract should have all author names, institutions and references to the authors work removed. This may lead to some references having to be replaced by “Reference to authors’ work”. The abstract title and author names with affiliations are entered into the submission system in separate fields.

Diese Seminarreihe orientiert sich an dem Digital Classicist Work in Progress Seminar [2] in London und wird von dem Deutschen Archäologischen Institut und dem Excellenzcluster TOPOI in Berlin veranstaltet. Sie sind herzlich dazu eingeladen Beiträge einzureichen, welche die innovative Anwendung moderner digitaler Methoden, Ressourcen und Techniken in den verschiedensten Bereichen der Altertumswissenschaften thematisieren. Die Vorträge können beispielsweise folgende Themenbereiche adressieren: digitale Editionen, Technologien zur maschinellen Sprachverarbeitung, Bildverarbeitung und Visualisierung, Linked Data und Semantic Web, Open Access, Raum- und Netzwerk-Analyse sowie andere digitale oder statistische Methoden. Insbesondere werden Vorschläge begrüßt, aus denen hervorgeht, wie dank der Anwendung digitaler Methoden fachübergreifende Fragen beantwortet werden können. Die im Seminar präsentierten Inhalte sollten sowohl Philologen, Historiker und Archäologen als auch Informationswissenschaftler und andere Personen mit wissenschaftlichem Interesse an den genannten Fragestellungen ansprechen. Anonymisierte Vorschläge [3] im Umfang von **300-500 Wörtern** (bibliographische Angaben ausgenommen) können bis spätestens **Mitternacht (MEZ) am 1. August 2014** über die unten genannte Webseite hochgeladen werden [4]. Die Zusammenfassung der geplanten Vorträge in können in deutscher und/oder englischer Sprache eingereicht werden, jedoch sollen die Vorträge in englischer Sprache gehalten werden. Bitte teilen Sie uns im Online-Formular mit, ob der gleiche Vortrag bereits bei anderen Veranstaltungsreihen oder Konferenzen eingereicht wurde. Die bisherige Quote von akzeptierten Vorschlägen lag 2012/13 bei 41% und 2013/14 bei 31%. Die Seminare werden von Oktober 2014 bis Februar 2015 **alle 14 Tage jeweils dienstags um 18.00 - 19.30 Uhr** in den Räumen des Excellenzclusters TOPOI und dem DAI in Berlin-Dahlem stattfinden. Das vollständige Programm wird im September bekannt gegeben werden. Wie in den vergangenen Jahren werden die Seminare aufgezeichnet und als Videos online bereitgestellt werden. Die Vortragenden sollen so weit wie möglich bei der Finanzierung ihrer Reise- und Unterkunftskosten unterstützt werden. Nähere Informationen dazu werden bei der Veröffentlichung des Programms mitgeteilt. Außerdem ist geplant, ausgewählte Beiträge der ersten drei Seminarrreihen in einem Band der neuen Open Access Reihe von TOPOI zu veröffentlichen [5]. [1] http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/ [2] http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/ [3] Die anonymisierte Kurzbeschreibung des geplanten Vortrages sollte keine Angaben zu Autor(en), Institution(en) und zugehörigen Publikationen enthalten. Sofern auf eigene Publikationen verwiesen wird, sollte dies nur durch die allgemeine Referenz “Publikation des Verfassers” erfolgen. Der bzw. die Autorennamen und die institutionelle Zugehörigkeit werden zusammen mit dem Titel des Vortrags durch separate Felder des Online-Formulars erfasst.

We welcome submissions on anything that plausible stays within the intersection of DH and CS. In the past some of the most interesting presentations have come from graduate students, and we like to think of the Colloquium as particularly hospitable to their contributions. Topics of special interest to both the TEI and DHCS conferences this year include research projects that make use of the distinct digital "affordances" created by the Hathi Trust, the Hathi Trust Research Center, and the TEI-encoded texts created by the Text Creation Partnership(TCP) from book on Early English Books Online (EEBO). A submission for a paper of poster should include an abstract of ~750 words and a minimal bio. Send it to martinmueller@northwestern.edu by August 1 and preferably earlier.

Having now had the time to read the whole thing through I have cause to recommend it in toto for the questions the participants were asking, at a time when so much was in formation.

I take Ken's point, that virtual objects can have the properties he listed: "malleable, combinable and shareable to a much larger extent than physical objects", and Paul's, that augmentation, not replacement, is the way to design for the future. But my purpose was to get to two problems. The first one is that many of our colleagues and fellow citizens think in terms of replacement: the old and obsolete pushing out the new. That's wrong and counter-productive but easy to find in common discourse, esp the promotional kind. It's not hard to see the commercial motivation behind promotion of the new as replacement, a bit harder to see the emptiness of purpose and ignorance which is behind ease with which some reject their inheritance. (Don't know what we're for? Try this innovation, and this one, and this one....) But then there's my second problem: how we mortals augment in a finite amount of time and space -- the problem of what seems to me the inevitable tradeoff. I catch myself saying that there's *always* a tradeoff. Here I invite argument better, I hope, that what I can at present come up with. A better question?

In my experience, there are some manuscripts that cannot be read without physically holding them. Some Shelley documents, for example, have passages where the ink ran dry and his pen simply scratched the surface. To decipher them, one had to hold them parallel to the light to cast a shadow in the slight groove. There is no way to do that with a digital image. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D22FA6435; Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:16:33 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BEAE563EF; Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:16:25 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 22D10633A; Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:16:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140614201623.22D10633A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 14 Jun 2014 22:16:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.122 several things to many people?

She is mainly concerned with pursuing the question of whether event generators may be situated within a spectrum spanned by "epistemic things" on the one hand and "technological objects" on the other, or as Hans-Jörg Rheinberger says, "questioning machines" or "answering machines". The tight binding she finds between physicist-authors and their generators is instructive as illustration of Marvin Minsky's argument that modelling is always ternary, i.e. involves the object of study, model and the modeller (whom we tend to overlook). But I draw the article to your attention because Merz shows how these generators are several things to many people: the product of original research; a publicly available tool; a means of doing physics; a testing ground for ideas; concretization of theory; and "just a tool" (her phrase) for optimizing experimental design. Some of these categories don't translate to digital humanities, of course. But the idea of the multiplex activity/object does. What would our categories be?

Regards, Hartmut Krech -------------------------------------------------------- The results of the survey on what could be done to help PhDs without permanent academic jobs are in; you can find them at http://hortensii.wordpress.com/. It turns out that there are quite a few things that could easily be done and would make a big difference to people in this unpleasant situation, and many of them would not even require money, so the next step is to do them. Therefore I would be very grateful if people could volunteer to help with this project, and/or put their names on the web site as endorsing it, and/or publicize the project and its web site in whatever ways you can. I would also be grateful if everyone who forwarded the original surveys to any e-mail list or other group could also forward this message. Let me also take this opportunity to thank most sincerely all the people who have helped so far: the people who took time to respond to the survey, the ones who wrote long detailed comments, the ones who read successive drafts of the report and found the mistakes in it, and particularly the Classics department at the University of Reading for their enthusiastic support.

For example, it is absolutely necessary to examine fragmentary texts such as papyri and inscriptions in the original to do any serious work. But in answer to Willard's call for a better question I'm not sure that there always is a significant tradeoff. To return to the Greek vase example, I never had any need to look at a Greek vase so closely that I could see the grains of clay or the brush-strokes of the potter. It sufficed just to see what scenes were depicted on it. And I pose this as a question: isn't it really the *quality* of the simulacrum, its faithfulness to the original that is the issue? If we had really good pictures of papyri and not flat 2-D ones, and different views in various kinds of light, that were microscopically accurate, would we really need anything else? But when digitising manuscripts using current technology there is so much more that is lost, say, in a transcription, by the forced substitution of pen-strokes for a selection of conventional symbols forced into perfect horizontal lines, or by the translation of original features rammed into angle-brackets, that leads one to think that there is always a tradeoff. Is this perhaps an argument from the specific to the general?

The whole point of making a (set of) digital reproduction(s) is to remove some characteristics of the original, at least its uniqueness. As we can never know of beforehand which characteristics may help us in creating meaning, we cannot know when we remove something useful.

That leads us into the theory of the "digital surrogate." Surrogates are often worse than the original in some ways and better in others. There is also the point that the handling of the original may destroy it over time. Access to palaeolithic cave paintings has to be very carefully monitored. Could you have a surrogate or set of surrogates that capture all the information that is "in" the original? Theoretically yes, but how would you ever know? There is always a risk in throwing away anything--but there is also a risk in keeping everything.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2014 22:56:11 +0100 From: Daniel Allington Subject: Re: 28.123 how to help PhDs without permanent academic jobs In-Reply-To: <20140614201723.2B9B062C2@digitalhumanities.org> It's great, of course, that these issues continue to be raised, but I would like to make three quick observations about that particular website. First, I feel that there's a little too much of the passive voice in the description of problems. For example: 'hiring decisions are often based on the subjects needed by individual departments, which are impossible to predict years in advance when a student chooses a thesis topic' (http://hortensii.wordpress.com/full-report/). Hiring decisions don't happen by themselves - we make them, and if we can see that it's counterproductive to do so on some particular basis, then it's up to us to change. It is entirely within our collective power as academics to improve the academic job market in this and many other important respects. Merely '[e]nsur[ing] that [our] PhD applicants know how bad the job market is' involves an implicit abdication of responsibility. Yes, I have less power to improve matters than my head of department, who has less power than the dean, who has less power than various pro-vice-chancellors - but all these people are academics. I'm told that there are universities where even the vice chancellor is an academic... Second, there seems to be little or no discussion of unionisation or other forms of collective action, even though the union that represents university and college lecturers in the country where the Hortensii website was created has a number of ongoing initiatives that are directly relevant: in particular, the Stamp Out Casual Contracts campaign (http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=3532). Third, instead of taking a strong line against the trend towards casualisation of the academic workforce (as UCU does), the Hortensii page on 'How the employed can help' (http://hortensii.wordpress.com/4-how-the-employed-can-help/) makes suggestions as weak as the following: 12) If you are a UK Classicist involved in hiring or supervision of non-permanent faculty, try to follow the recommendations of the CUCD ... 17) If you find yourself serving on a departmental review committee and that department is relying too heavily on non-permanent faculty and/or treating such faculty badly, recommend that the situation be improved (e.g. by making temporary positions permanent) What do I find so weak about the above? As for point 12, the CUCD's recommendations (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/classics/cucd/tempstaff.html) are really no more than bare minimum standards for legal and ethnical behaviour. If the most that anyone can suggest we do is to 'TRY to follow' the recommendation that '[t]emporary staff should be explicitly informed of their employment rights under the law' (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/classics/cucd/tempstaff.html), for example - especially where TRYING to follow such recommendations is only one proposal among many, with 'no suggestion that you should to tackle them all' (http://hortensii.wordpress.com/4-how-the-employed-can-help/) - then we really need to take a look in the mirror. Are we so very craven? As for point 17, anyone who's been involved in trying to get non-permanent staff treated better or made permanent will know (a) that they really can't wait for us to somehow 'find [ourselves] serving on' the right committees, and (b) that any improvement in their lot requires those that care to do an awful lot more than 'recommend' better behaviour from those that don't. We can be bolder than this! Please do take a look at Stamp Out Casual Contracts (if you didn't spot the link above, it's http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=3532).

Please address Prof. Dickey directly through the link to her website given below. Regards, Hartmut Krech -------------------------------------------------------- The results of the survey on what could be done to help PhDs without permanent academic jobs are in; you can find them at http://hortensii.wordpress.com/. It turns out that there are quite a few things that could easily be done and would make a big difference to people in this unpleasant situation, and many of them would not even require money, so the next step is to do them. Therefore I would be very grateful if people could volunteer to help with this project, and/or put their names on the web site as endorsing it, and/or publicize the project and its web site in whatever ways you can. I would also be grateful if everyone who forwarded the original surveys to any e-mail list or other group could also forward this message. Let me also take this opportunity to thank most sincerely all the people who have helped so far: the people who took time to respond to the survey, the ones who wrote long detailed comments, the ones who read successive drafts of the report and found the mistakes in it, and particularly the Classics department at the University of Reading for their enthusiastic support.

The Summer School, which aims at integrating Digital Humanities and Language Resources, is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. The Summer School wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based cooperations and network-building across the borders of disciplines, countries and cultures. The Summer School aims to provide a stimulating environment for discussing, learning and advancing knowledge and skills in the methods and technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and determine more and more the work done in the Arts and Humanities, in libraries, archives, and museums, in the Language Industries, and similar fields. The Summer School seeks to integrate these activities into the broader context of the /Digital Humanities/, where questions about the consequences and implications of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds are asked. It further aims to provide insights into the complexity of humanistic data and the challenges the Humanities present for computer science and engineering and their further development. In all this the Summer School also aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide, i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany and Europe. But, instead of strengthening the /hard sciences/ as such by following the way taken by so many measures which focus on the so-called STEM disciplines and try to convince women of the attractiveness and importance of Computer Science or Engineering, the Summer School relies on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders between hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. The Summer School takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. The workshop programme is composed of the following thematic strands: --XML-TEI encoding, structuring and rendering http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/381 --Query in Text Corpora http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/390 --Comparing Corpora http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/398 --Historical Text Corpora for the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Thank you, Bogdan Trifunovic -------------- The Faculty of “Artes Liberales”, University of Warsaw, is pleased to announce a Call for Papers for the international two-day conference Imagine there were no humanities... which will be held in Warsaw on 20th-21st November 2014. http://imaginenohumanities.ibi.uw.edu.pl/ The aim of the conference is to bring together all those interested in discerning the future of the humanities. The conference is intended for a broad constituency: Master’s and doctoral students, PhD holders, university teachers, writers, journalists, etc. An additional aim is to act as a summary of all the many discussions which took place during the Faculty’s four-year International Doctoral Programme (MPD). We invite you to conduct a simple thought experiment. Imagine for a moment that we live in a world with no humanities. There are no literary studies, no history, no philosophy and no art history. All those disciplines have now disappeared from sight, never to return again. What will the consequences of this disappearance be? What will be lost if we lose the humanities? Our thought experiment assumes that the humanities are contingent. They appeared on the intellectual scene at a certain point in time, and it is possible that they could disappear at another point in time. Can we predict the consequences of this disappearance? We would like to treat this thought experiment as a pretext for discussion of the identity of the humanities and the identities of researchers in the humanities. We assume that the question of identity can be posed anew by reflection on what would be lost without the humanities. Most importantly we would like to raise the question of the past, present and future of the humanities. The following list of themes suggests, but does not exhaust, the framework of our thought experiment: Humanities and ideology: are the humanities ideologised or do they offer an antidote against ideology? Recovering the silenced voices: how do we read the official and non-official history of the humanities? The researcher in the humanities and his role today: what can we learn from critics of the humanities? No humanities – no gender, no race? What would be the future of gender equality without gender studies? How could racism and colonialism be critically verified without postcolonial studies? The 'collective' and 'individual' in the research process: in what way could large scale, collaborative research projects reshape both the humanities and researchers in the humanities? Subjects and objects of research in the humanities: could the absence of the subject (the researcher) of the humanities lead also to the disappearance of their object? We invite you to give short, dynamic presentations (ca. 10 minutes) on any of these or related topics, which will be followed by a longer panel discussion. The authors of accepted abstracts will be asked to provide extended resumes (ca. 1000 words) of their papers, which will be circulated among all the participants one month prior to the meeting. The language of the conference is English. Please send a 300-word abstract and a one-page CV to the conference email address imaginenohumanities@gmail.com by 30th June 2014.Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us or check the conference website at http://imaginenohumanities.ibi.uw.edu.pl/. After the conference, we plan to publish selected, extended papers in the form of a monograph. All papers submitted for the conference publication will be peer-reviewed by a scientific committee: Prof. Maciej Abramowicz, Prof. Jerzy Axer, Prof. Jan Kieniewicz, Prof. Ewa Łukaszyk, Prof. Joanna Partyka, Prof. Jolanta Sujecka, Prof. Piotr Wilczek. Unfortunately, we are not able to refund the costs of attendance, however we can help with arranging accommodation in Warsaw during the period of the conference. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 08:41:57 -0500 From: Brian Rosenblum Subject: Nodes & Networks in the Humanities conference: CFP extended to June 30 Dear all, we have extended the deadline of the CFP for our fall Digital Humanities Forum. The new, and final, deadline is June 30. Authors will be notified of acceptance by July 15. -------------- CFP: Nodes & Networks in the Humanities: Geometries, Relationships, Processes Digital Humanities Forum 2014 September 12-13, 2014 Lawrence, Kansas Keynote Speakers * Isabel Meirelles, Northeastern University, http://isabelmeirelles.com/ * Steven Jones, Loyola University Chicago, http://stevenejones.org/ * Scott Weingart, Indiana University, http://www.scottbot.net/ The network has emerged as a powerful model in humanities scholarship in recent years. It is used as a visualization and analytic tool to explore objects, ideas or events and their relationships; as a method to discover, link and create new resources and data; and as a social structure through which we conduct our scholarly and social lives and develop our self-identity. Our digital objects, and our digital selves, all exist in "the Net." As Elijah Meeks argues, "The network is not a social network or geographic network or logical network but rather a primitive object capable of and useful for the modeling and analysis of relationships between a wide variety of objects." KU’s 2014 Digital Humanities Forum will explore these and related topics in a full conference day on Saturday, September 13, which will follow a full day of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on September 12. We welcome proposals for papers, posters, panel sessions and workshops on topics from your own research that relate to some aspects of nodes and networks, such as: * network visualizations or network analysis tools and methods that further humanistic research; * the human and processes of identity in the networked environment; * how nodes and networks have descriptive and explanatory power in humanistic research (and are not just DH fetish objects) * dynamics of multidimensional data; * social media and networks; * new scholarship through the use of human or machine networks (e.g. crowdsourcing, linked open data); * collaborative scholarly networks across space, time and disciplinary knowledge; * innovative developments in scholarly communication in a networked world (altmetrics, open peer review, collaborative authoring); * the implications for humanities scholarship and pedagogy in a global, digitally networked world; * prosopographical approaches to history illuminating spatial, temporal, conceptual or other networked relationships, * and related topics. DH Forum best student paper award: Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. One student presentation will be selected for an award based on the quality, originality, clarity of the written abstract, along with its alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The awardee will be presented with a check for $400 and award certificate at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the award. For a paper to be eligible, at least fifty percent of the research reported in the paper must be performed by one or more student authors, and the student must be the primary presenter of the paper at the conference. Please submit abstracts of 500 words maximum at: https://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2014 Proposal Deadline: June 15 Questions may be directed to the Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities, idrh@ku.edu Arienne Dwyer & Brian Rosenblum, Co-Directors <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Brian Rosenblum Co-Director, Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities Head, Center for Faculty Initiatives and Engagement University of Kansas Libraries Room 450, Watson Library | 1425 Jayhawk Blvd. | Lawrence, KS 66045-7537 Ph.

But there are technologies that have been around for over a decade that are readily available to capture material in this way, based on photogrammetry techniques, such as RTI. http://culturalheritageimaging.org/Technologies/RTI/index.html Oh look - papyrus which you can see imaged simply with RTI and change the shadows and highlights etc etc: http://vimeo.com/33245119 Oh look, a 15th Century Illuminated Manuscript imaged simply with RTI so you can see the underlying shape of the manuscript: http://vimeo.com/30213656 And I would warrant that those examples actually show more than the human eye could see in normal usage of the text. I can provide further examples of different technologies if you would like. Why, you could even take some low res jpegs with your phone, upload them to 123D Catch, and create a working model, of, say, sculptures! towns! people! in minutes! for free! http://www.123dapp.com/search/catch …. So let us not talk about the impossibilities of these technologies: the maths and models and processes and viewers and tools have been around for a decade. To say they don't exist ignores a huge movement in Heritage Science, which is gathering pace at the moment. And us Digital Humanists should really be talking to Heritage Scientists, shouldn't we? We have so much in common. Melissa ----------------- Melissa M.

Another way of putting it would be: not the inexhaustible artefact versus the limited model but both inexhaustible and always with respect to the question. Note what happens when the model itself -- and think of the simplest possible model -- becomes historically interesting. One might say that each reasoning instrument shows a different view, but that suggests the out-there versus the in-here. I am suggesting, as Jerry McGann said about texts, that no object of study is self-identical, or as Peter Galison has said, that objectivity is romantic (http://archives.acls.org/op/op47-3.htm#galison).

[Hmm: this ends up as a rather long reflection on the recent thread. I'm also aware I'm falling behind on it! It also strays into some philosophical deep waters: I'm aware that there is lots more one could say about this, but all I'm aiming to do is expand on what I perceive to be the intuition which started this thread.] I think there are at least three dimensions here, reasonably orthogonal, which the word 'real *mumble*' doesn't really help us navigate. 1. richness: a film is visually 'richer' than a play, in the restricted brute sense that there are more colours visible, or that the video file of the film might compress less well than a digital record of the play. Similarly, a live-action film might be 'richer' than an animation, and World of Warcraft might be 'richer' than Minecraft, or a painted picture 'richer' than a reproduction of it (because of the physical texture of the paint on canvas). This isn't a very interesting dimension -- the examples I've chosen illustrate that 'richer' in this sense isn't much connected with 'better' -- but it's probably good to avoid being distracted by this dimension. Perhaps another term for this is 'representationally faithful', but I don't like that much more. 2. manipulability: a real-time simulation is interactive, whether that's Minecraft, or World of Warcraft, or a PC flight simulator, or a full-scale pilot training simulator with hydraulics, noise and vibration. An interactive record of an artefact such as a precious book might be manipulable, either by clicking on an on-screen button, or by pawing the screen of a tablet. A physical artefact may be manipulable -- a textile, a musical instrument, or a science-centre demo -- or not -- such as a rock. I'm inclined to put haptics, as a simulation input/output technique, into this dimension rather than the next. 3. tangibility (this is the wrong word; I'm trying not to say 'real', but perhaps 'non-virtualness' comes closest): This is a dimension at one extreme of which we find anything on a computer, haptics notwithstanding. A vase, or a collection of computers in a display cabinet[1], is clearly physically present even if we can't touch it. A rock we can throw or a microscope slide we can smell (ick) is tangible. So where is 'real' in this, with or without the *mumble*? That might be a distracting question, partly because 'real' seems to sprawl across these dimensions, but also because it isn't even stably at one end or other of them (a play on a bare stage might be a lot more realistic than a Technicolor film). Perhaps we should simply avoid that word in this discussion. So yes, Joris van Zundert describes how manipulable and 'real' is Minecraft, and Ken Kahn talks of the strength of dynamic and interactive virtual objects. You only have to watch someone playing a simulation computer game, or feel yourself almost fall out of your seat as you lunge to _just_ get a falling Tetris block into its place, to know how physically engaging a simulation can be. Tetris isn't a 'rich' environment, but that doesn't stop it being 'real' enough to make me fall off my chair. Desmond Schmidt and Paul Fishwick stress how much more useful a simulacrum can be, than the underlying object. More than this (and partly contra Joe Raben's point about squinting at Shelly manuscripts), in some circumstances it is _only_ the simulacrum that is useful, if we are looking at, for example, a palimpsest in X-rays or ultraviolet, or a radar map of an archaeological site. A lot of science data is like this: it is only through the multiple layers of mediating technology that the object of study can be brought to our senses at all. Melissa Terras makes this point forcefully. Again, it's not clear where the notion of 'real' takes us, here. So if this isn't a question about 'real', what is it a question about? Paul Fishwick stresses that "we are not playing a zero-sum game. New technologies permit an augmentation, and not a replacement, of the traditional." Very much so: I think that Willard's point -- or at least that aspect of his point that I was responding to -- is that there is at least _some_ downside to leaving behind the non-virtual. There is _something_ that we lose. So that the question really is: what is the nature of that loss? What is it that the non-virtual has, that the virtual hasn't? Willard in [28.96]: > The second remark causes me to wonder why we seem to have considerably > more trouble stirring up the curiosity of others by showing them what > can be done with computing. Does the problem lie with a deep difference > between natural and cultural artefacts? Why should an image in a > microscope, say, be more interesting than a KWIC concordance? The image in the microscope, or the scratched Shelley MS, may be less 'rich' than virtually enhanced alternatives, and it may be less manipulable, but it is more tangible, and I'm convinced that matters. This is a large part of the pedagogic reason why natural science undergraduates do still do practical labs, it's why people still go to museums and galleries, it's why the smell of a book matters in a way which an author might resist communicating in a learned article, and it's one of the channels through which we understand the world around us. It's not the only channel, but in many disciplines it's not a discardable channel. Thus the image in the microscope, or the book rather than the concordance, is more _interesting_ (Willard's question) because that's the thing we're actually studying (presuming we don't have an instrinsic fascination for concordances as such), and the tangibility creates a direct link to it. That's why (picking my own experience) most scientists get a kick out of science museums, pushing small children out of their way to the exhibits if necessary (and the museum in [1] is _fantastic_, by the way). There's another version of this observation in . This isn't an answer to the question 'what is it that the non-virtual has?', but that might be a clearer version of the question. ---- This discussion seems to have been obtruding itself into everything around me in the last couple of days. I came across a letter in the LRB [2], about the value of representations; an entertaining article about Minecraft [3] appeared in the paper yesterday; and just today I was told a story about a friend of a friend who was reading a 'page-turner' on a Kindle, and mid-way through was enjoying it so much she ordered the physical book so she could enjoy the page-turning in fact. These ideas overlap with, and may be inspired by, the ideas of my colleague at Glasgow, Susan Stuart http://enkinaesthesia.wordpress.com/ , who is concerned with the extent to which, and the means by which, physical interaction with the world around us is intrinsic to our ability to fully engage with it.

RTI is a process of amalgamating images of a text taken with visible (not infrared) light from various angles, and the construction from them of a 3-D digital artefact. But I would be wary about assuming that any such mathematically enhanced views are a true reproduction of the original. Have you seen the picture of the "rectangular structure" on the far side of the moon that turned out to an image-processing error? Some people still believe there are aliens on the moon because they trusted in the simulacrum, not the real thing. e.g. http://www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2012/08/huge-alien-structure-revealed-far-side.html Desmond Schmidt Queensland University of Technology On Tue, Jun 17, 2014 at 11:57 PM, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 129. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > [1] From: Melissa Terras (153) > Subject: Re: 28.124 the price of manipulability > > [2] From: Willard McCarty (20) > Subject: partial and inexhaustible > > --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 21:35:45 +0100 > From: Melissa Terras > Subject: Re: 28.124 the price of manipulability > In-Reply-To: <20140615201356.40D8E6240@digitalhumanities.org> > > > So, you can't look at highlights and indentations in a manuscript image > with a single shot low res jpeg, true.

There is a fallacy in the approach that the "model" is more, or is less, than the "modelled". Is what you see in a microscope—or for that matter what you glean from a digital reproduction— a "model" of what you *see* without? Your ordinary perception is as much a model as what you see through a technological device. Both are "models" of what is, in principle, unattainable and seen only through different forms of observation. And each of them can only *see* an aspect or a part of it: "reason, reflecting upon the sum of things, can, like the sun, serve only to enlighten one half of the globe, leaving the other half *by necessity* under the shade and darkness" (Jonathan Swift, as quoted by F.R. Leavis, "The Irony of Swift", in Scrutiny, in Scrutiny, vol. 2, no. 4, (1934), 364-378, p. 370). "Models" are data and what is "modelled" is information. And information always exceeds any data or ways of representing it.

How well do they scale? Most libraries, even the national libraries, are very far from implementing anything beyond the basic provision of color digital facsimiles. In many cases they are digitizing microfilms. If you want to look at watermarks in a manuscript or study its collation--you still need to see it in situ. That's not perhaps the way it should be or can be; but that's the way it is. Charles Faulhaber --[6]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2014 22:42:28 +0200 From: Joris van Zundert Subject: 28.129 the price of manipulability In-Reply-To: <20140617215714.4F2926126@digitalhumanities.org> Thanks to Melissa Terras for pointing out far more succinctly than I ever could the augmenting capabilities that various types of scanning deliver to us, saving me a message of paternalistic tone. Indeed, as Willard suggests: we live in a deeply hermeneutic universe. When I was writing about factuality and simulacrum I most of all wanted to point out that both are realities which we can adorn with meaning and interpretation, and so all have their use. As for the superiority of the one over the other: such can only be determined relatively to user, the context of use, and the objective of use. But allow me to add more confusion. I am not convinced yet that there is not a trade off. There may be no limit to the ability of the human mind to project reality. (I mean: there's really no life in the teddy bear, but to the playing girl it is as real and complete a being as her daddy is–at least for a while.) But is there no limit to the set of objects and situations to which we are inclined to project these, for lack of a better word, 'idiolectic realities'? This may actually not be a matter of choice. We are capacity and activity limited neural networks trained over the course of a lifespan to a propensity for addressing only certain types of objects and situations as real—indeed "whatever that means". We all carry different 'hermeneutic DNA' as it were, and therefore we all have different limits to what we perceive as real? The mind as a window on the world can shift more than expand? As for the simulation, there's no doubt in my mind that we can create the most perfect copy (given e.g. http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/research-innovations/stories/virtual-spiders-creep-and-crawl-their-way-toward-phobia, just watch that video). Aside from time and money constraints, like Andrew Taylor said technically we will be able to create an archive and use virtual or 3D printed copies that would even satisfy Jerome McGann's plea for attention to the materiality of the original. And apart from not being the same atoms, they would asymptotically approach what Martin Mueller said is theoretically possible as to retaining the original's information. Which would be a good thing for it would allow us to finally return to the debate on interpretative and transformative actions, rather than on representational issues. All kind regards, Joris -- Drs.

While the conference language is clearly German, English contributions are acceptable. Best regards, Manfred Thaller ======================================================= Call for Papers Workshop "Informatik und die Digital Humanities" Leipzig, 3. November 2014 In den vergangenen Jahren hat das Thema "Digital Humanities" in Deutschland deutlich an Interesse gewonnen, dafür sind unter anderem auch die entsprechenden Ausschreibungen des BMBF verantwortlich. Aus den Geisteswissenschaften heraus hat sich dazu 2013 der Verband DHd ("Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum") gegründet, der im März 2014 seine erste Jahrestagung in Passau mit ca. 350 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern abgehalten hat. Zahlreiche Informatikerinnen und Informatiker arbeiten in DH-Projekten und kooperieren mit ihren Kolleginnen und Kollegen aus den Geisteswissenschaften. Während sich Letztere nun organisieren und ein klareres Bild dieser Forschungsrichtung und -methodik zeichnen, bleibt die Perspektive der Informatik noch unscharf. Der Workshop bedenkt deshalb das Verhältnis der Informatik zu den Geistes- und Kulturwissenschaften im deutschsprachigen Raum aus der Sicht der Informatik. Die Tagung in Passau hat gezeigt, dass es weiterer Klärung bedarf, in welcher Wechselbeziehung die Informatik zu den Fächern der Humanities steht. Kann die Kommunikation der (mindestens) "Zwei Kulturen" (C. P. Snow) erleichtert werden? Welcher Art kann ein Wissen sein, das in Mensch-Maschine-Verbünden entsteht? Weder kann die Informatik die Probleme der Anderen schlicht lösen, noch können die Humanities hoffen oder erwarten, dass industrielle Computertechnik so ohne Weiteres eine groߟe Hilfe bei ihren nur schwer formalisierbaren Fragestellungen sein könnte. Was ist das Besondere an den informatischen Problemstellungen der DH? Sind sie einfach nur ein weiteres Anwendungsgebiet der Informatik? Welche Teile der hermeneutisch orientierten Geisteswissenschaften informatischen Verfahren der Berechenbarkeit unterworfen werden können, wo also Computer besonders nützlich wären, das ist noch nicht restlos geklärt. Wie würde die Informatik solche Felder charakterisieren, scheint eine Typologie auf? Entsteht da vielleicht eine neue Bindestrich-Informatik, oder sickert so viel informatische Fachkenntnis in die Geisteswissenschaften, dass diese sich selbständig machen kann? Bleibt das Abenteuer der DH also dauerhaft transdisziplinär, oder kommt es absehbar an sein Ende? Weiterhin ist völlig offen, wie die Informatik sich selbst verändert, wenn geisteswissenschaftliche Ansätze ins Spiel kommen, wie sie selbst davon profitiert, dass ihr Methodenspektrum und ihre Anwendungsbereiche sich ausweiten. Welches ist das Forschungsinteresse der Informatik an den DH? Ist es vielleicht an der Zeit, eine DH-GI-Fachgruppe zu gründen? Der Workshop wird im Kreise der Autorinnen und Autoren der angenommenen Papers stattfinden. Alle diese Papers werden vor der Veranstaltung allen Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern zugestellt, sie werden wechselseitig vorgestellt und dann diskutiert. Aus diesen Beiträgen wird auf der DH 2015 im Februar 2015 in Graz ein Panel zusammengestellt werden. Bitte senden Sie einen Abstract von ein bis zwei Seiten Länge bis zum 31. August 2014 an: informatik-dh-workshop2014@e-humanities.net oder Prof. Dr. Gerhard Heyer Institut für Informatik Augustusplatz 10 04109 Leipzig Sie werden Über die Annahme Ihres Beitrags bis zum 15.

Registration for Digital Heritage 2014 at the University of York is now open. Digital Heritage is an international and interdisciplinary conference for anybody with an interest in the study or representation of the past using digital technology. This year theme is 'Digital Communities in Action' and we have a wide range of presentations dealing with the role of communities and concepts of community in Digital Heritage research. Researchers and practitioners from any field allied to heritage and/or technology are invited to attend and to benefit from what promises to be an engaging and highly informative conference. Registration is open and the programme for the event has been announced. Places are limited and tickets are selling fast so register as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

These presentations have now been selected and added to the program. Topics added include: - Streamable functions in XSLT 3.0 - Teaching XQuery to (non-programmer) humanists - Identity Constraints for XML - Teaching NIEM-based models to XML and NIEM novices The program already included new approaches to overlapping data structures; case studies from government, the standards world, big data, and a web-browser game; change tracking and versioning in XML documents; XSLT streamability; a discussion of MathML technology and practice; and technical papers covering such topics as: Web Components, XForms for editing, RELAX NG for DITA, an XQuery framework, OWL, identity in XML and JSON, and RDF and the Internet of Things. Now it is a real must for anyone who thinks deeply about markup.

The paper will discuss the results of my doctoral research, which has provided data that can be used to improve user experience, engagement and participation with archaeology and other heritage subjects via Internet technologies, and embed usability and sustainability within digital archaeological projects. Understanding the impact of participatory media will aid archaeologists and those in the heritage fields to promote the advantages of digital engagement and public collaboration, in terms of economic benefit, social justice, learning outcomes, diversifying audiences and the promotion of social inclusion. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

They exist in a common format that has survived the test of time, and reflect any event of significance (through times of war and peace, of economic crisis and prosperity). With carefully curated proceedings becoming available in digital form in many countries, new research opportunities arise to analyse this data, on an unprecedented longitudinal scale, and across different nations, cultures and systems of political representation. Focusing on the UK, Canada and The Netherlands, this project will deliver a common format for encoding parliamentary proceedings (with an initial focus on 1800 to yesterday); a joint dataset covering all three jurisdictions; a workbench with a range of tools for the comparative, longitudinal study of parliamentary data; and substantive case studies focusing on migration, left/right ideological polarization and parliamentary language. Comparative analysis of this kind, and the tools to support it, will inform a new approach to the history of parliamentary communication and discourse, and address new research questions. The project is a collaboration between the University of Amsterdam, the History of Parliament Trust, the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, King's College London, and the University of Toronto. It is funded as part of the Digging into Data Challenge 3. -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, and Research Group in Digital Humanities, University of Western Sydney _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 9B75266A6; Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:31:35 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6EBD066AA; Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:31:27 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C328F66A4; Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:31:25 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20140620203125.C328F66A4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:31:25 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.138 events: digital heritage X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 138.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2014 11:21:27 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: digital knowledge Recently the Centre for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences (CRASSH), Cambridge University, established the Cambridge Centre for Digital Knowledge CCDK). Given those involved it seems likely to be good thing. But the terms in which it has been founded deserve a close look: > The premise of CCDK is that we are now entering the third phase of > Digital Humanities. The first phase prioritized the digitization of > analogue materials. The second phase involved the growth of a digital > humanities discipline, which has promoted new working practices in > the humanities and social sciences. One result of these two phases > has been the facilitation and increased speed of access to data. The > third phase now urgently requires new forms of understanding that > will use new technologies to transcend rather than perpetuate > well-worn approaches in the humanities and social sciences. The CCDK > is structured around two strands of research which represent the two > most pressing concerns of digital humanities: Digital Epistemology > and Digital Society. (www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/programmes/cambridge-centre-for-digital-knowledge) The implications of "phase" I find particularly interesting, especially given the notion of an historical progression implicit in the prose which follows. To cite the OED for "phase", 2.a: > A definite or distinct state, stage, or period in a process of change > or development, as the life cycle of an organism; a period marked by > a particular characteristic, activity, etc.... The discipline of digital humanities, or whatever we wish to call it, has thus in the view of CCDK "promoted new working practices in the humanities and social sciences" and so, added to the great digitization effort, brought about "the facilitation and increased speed of access to data". Both good things, no question. But what digital humanities has by this demarcation also supposedly done, however, is to "perpetuate well-worn approaches in the humanities and social sciences", and what it has not done is to bring about "new forms of understanding that will use new technologies to transcend rather than perpetuate" these well-worn if not worn-out practices. Hence the claim to a new phase. This view of digital humanities unfortunately ignores approximately four and a half decades of work in the field, during which struggle to understand new forms of understanding was ongoing. The problem has not been digital humanists' determination to perpetuate the old; quite the opposite, in fact, even to excess of revolutionary intentions. Many here will know that the problem has been the intellectual inertia of many in the humanities and beyond, indeed their fear of old understandings and identities dissolving away. From the very beginning of widespread activity in digital humanities (though it was thinly populated until the Web gained traction), key individuals were calling for such new understandings, e.g. literary critic Louis Milic and philosopher-linguist Margaret Masterman, whose ideas regarding poetry F. R. Leavis tried to shoot down. What they were saying has been forgotten in this scheme of phases. Yes, we need these new understandings and have needed them for decades. But let's get the history right so that we can take advantage of what our forebears thought and did. If the philosophers and philosophically minded people in CCDK take on board the crucial point that these understandings arise largely from direct, hands-on work in digital forms of knowing, from intervening as well as representing, then we can hope for much from them. Peter Burke in A Social History of Knowledge quotes the Spanish humanist Luis Vives' declaration that, "melius agricolae et fabri norunt quam ipsi tanti philosophi", "peasants and artisans know nature better than so many philosophers" (2000: 13). That may be a bit over the top, but he had a point. It's a point that gets uncomfortably close to the old social distinction between leisured aristocrats and labouring peasants. I for one keep hoping that we will take another run at realising Leibniz's dream of a happy marriage between theorists and empirics. So, I say, we in digital humanities have cleared a space within which new understandings may arise from artisanal work. That we have not gone at this quite so hard as we could have, to find out what these understandings are, is understandable given the social conditions of work from 1949 until recent times. But we're alerted by CCDK's bracketing off of digital humanities both conceptually and historically that others, perhaps not so well equipped in artisanal skills of reasoning, are moving in to this space and declaring ownership. But here's to celebrating the unintended identification of digital humanities' ongoing contribution to scholarship: not primarily speeding access to data, though that is important, but working with data in new ways to rework how we reason and what we understand of ourselves and the world. John von Neumann and Herman Goldstine wrote in 1947 that, "coding is not a static process of translation, but rather the technique of providing a dynamic background to control the automatic evolution of a meaning" (1947: 2). Consider the power this recognizes in coding, the creative challenge this issues to us traditional reasoners. In a recent interview with the philosopher John Searle at CRASSH (http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/blog/post/an-interview-with-john-searle) he remarked that philosophy nowadays is in "terrible shape", in the philosophy of language for example because "formal modeling has replaced insight". He goes on: > What happens now is that many philosophers aim to build a formal > model where they can map a puzzling element of language onto the formal > model, and people think that gives you an insight. Of course it doesn't, as Searle remarks. We recognize in this the distinction between making models and the modelling that comes when you realise the processural force of computing von Neumann and Goldstine wrote about, when you take its intervening, experimental uses rather than the representational requirement which begins the process. If only the philosophers who have disappointed Searle would talk to us. I wish we could talk to von Neumann and Goldstine. Comments?

This project should be of interest to the seminar. The project seeks to travel around the world highlighting one digital humanities project every day for 80 days. The ultimate goal is to get a sense of the rich diversity of practices in DH around the world, in every continent. Also, I wanted to draw attention to the fact that some of the editorial decisions are still being made *in medias res *and that the work of writing descriptions for existing choices is not complete by far. If you would like to learn more or help out don't hesitate to write to me.

Focusing on the digital humanities' visualization of communities, this session seeks papers addressing the current, critical crossroads of digital technology and humanities-based modes of inquiry. Presenters may theorize dh visualization methods, address technical research issues, or demonstrate challenges faced in actual projects.

However, we have really only scratched the surface of ways to help people read and make use of digital documents. This conference will focus on some of the experimental human-computer interfaces that have been designed and, in some cases, prototyped for use with digital texts, images, and other media. Featured events include: • Keynote lectures • Lightning talks, where authors present 10-minute versions of their work, followed by a brief discussion (papers may be conceptual, theoretical, application oriented, and more) • Poster and digital demos session Possible topics include but will not be limited to: • ebooks • journals and monographs • interactive visualization • visual analytics • cultural analytics • social editions We invite proposals in three categories – lightning papers, panels (4 papers or more), posters, and digital demos – that address the conference topics and other issues pertinent to research in the area. Proposals should indicate one of the above categories, and consist of: - a title - an abstract of approximately 250 words - a list of works cited - the names and affiliations of presenters and their coauthors. We are pleased to welcome proposals in all languages of our community; note that the chief working language of past gatherings has been English. Please send proposals to INKEIDCONF@gmail.com Selected presentations will be invited to submit by November 15 prepared papers for a special issue of the journal Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (ISR), with guest editor Stan Ruecker. INKE Interface Design The Interface Design (ID) team is part of a seven-year research project on the future of reading called Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE). The goal of ID is to produce and study experimental prototypes that are contextualized by research done throughout INKE as well as by environmental scans of existing systems. Different years have focused on different research areas: interdisciplinary citation, corpora, the scholarly edition, and journals and monographs.

Professor Dickey is not subscribed to Humanist-L and can be reached in writing to e.dickey@reading.ac.uk. Best regards, Hartmut Krech -------------------------------------------------------- Had the author of these comments read the report on which the Hortensii web site is based, he would have discovered why unionization is not endorsed as a solution, particularly not in the UK. Namely, when respondents in the UK were asked what they thought of unionization as a solution, they expressed very negative opinions, for example "Though I'd put it more in terms of getting the union to behave in a way that was more concerned to protect the jobs and less its members. It's a shambles." As a long-standing member of the UCU, I find it painful to acknowledge that this criticism is largely accurate, but the situation is too serious for sentimentality: the UCU is not effective in protecting academics, especially not those on casual contracts. Under these circumstances it would be wrong to suggest to people in distress that the UCU might offer a solution to their problems, and therefore I can make no such suggestion. But I am happy to offer the UCU and its supporters the following bargain: if you can cause the UCU to be of some actual use to these poor people, as measured by their telling me that the UCU has helped them, I shall recommend the UCU most enthusiastically as a solution! Regarding the first point, it is wonderful that the author of these comments has the power to effect changes in hiring practices. I hope very much that he will use that power to the utmost, encourage others to do so as well, and report to Hortensii how he managed it. I shall be overjoyed to publish a template for successful change as widely as possible. Unfortunately, I and my respondents do not seem to have such power at present, so we do need you to show us the way first. Are we craven? Yes we are, or at least I am. Not so much out of fears for my personal safety -- frankly at this point I am so angry at what is going on that I would quite happily sacrifice my career or even a limb or two to change things. What I fear is not retaliation against me, but doing something that will do more harm than good, and thus causing harm instead of benefit to a group of highly vulnerable people, ones who have suffered some pretty appalling things already and could easily suffer even worse if we are not careful in how we handle things. Reading message after message from terrified, browbeaten, abused academics gives one respect for what they are going through, and it has instilled in me a determination to be extremely careful not to add to their suffering. It would be all to easy to exploit their despair by promising something I could not deliver and encouraging them to jump on the bandwagon, but over my dead body do I profit from this horrible situation! I hope that you can now understand my perspective; I don't ask you to share it, though, and am perfectly sincere in assuring you that if you find a solution that actually works I shall be delighted.

For example: 'hiring decisions are often based on the subjects needed by individual departments, which are impossible to predict years in advance when a student chooses a thesis topic' (http://hortensii.wordpress.com/full-report/). Hiring decisions don't happen by themselves - we make them, and if we can see that it's counterproductive to do so on some particular basis, then it's up to us to change. It is entirely within our collective power as academics to improve the academic job market in this and many other important respects. Merely '[e]nsur[ing] that [our] PhD applicants know how bad the job market is' involves an implicit abdication of responsibility. Yes, I have less power to improve matters than my head of department, who has less power than the dean, who has less power than various pro-vice-chancellors - but all these people are academics. I'm told that there are univer > sities where even the vice chancellor is an academic... > > Second, there seems to be little or no discussion of unionisation or other forms of collective action, even though the union that represents university and college lecturers in the country where the Hortensii website was created has a number of ongoing initiatives that are directly relevant: in particular, the Stamp Out Casual Contracts campaign (http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=3532). > > Third, instead of taking a strong line against the trend towards casualisation of the academic workforce (as UCU does), the Hortensii page on 'How the employed can help' (http://hortensii.wordpress.com/4-how-the-employed-can-help/) makes suggestions as weak as the following: > > 12) If you are a UK Classicist involved in hiring or supervision of non-permanent faculty, try to follow the recommendations of the CUCD > ... > 17) If you find yourself serving on a departmental review committee and that department is relying too heavily on non-permanent faculty and/or treating such faculty badly, recommend that the situation be improved (e.g. by making temporary positions permanent) > > What do I find so weak about the above? > > As for point 12, the CUCD's recommendations (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/classics/cucd/tempstaff.html) are really no more than bare minimum standards for legal and ethnical behaviour. If the most that anyone can suggest we do is to 'TRY to follow' the recommendation that '[t]emporary staff should be explicitly informed of their employment rights under the law' (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/classics/cucd/tempstaff.html), for example - especially where TRYING to follow such recommendations is only one proposal among many, with 'no suggestion that you should to tackle them all' (http://hortensii.wordpress.com/4-how-the-employed-can-help/) - then we really need to take a look in the mirror. Are we so very craven? > > As for point 17, anyone who's been involved in trying to get non-permanent staff treated better or made permanent will know (a) that they really can't wait for us to somehow 'find [ourselves] serving on' the right committees, and (b) that any improvement in their lot requires those that care to do an awful lot more than 'recommend' better behaviour from those that don't. > > We can be bolder than this!

Here is more information on the PhD Fellowships http://uio.easycruit.com/vacancy/1192561/62045?iso=no The application deadline is 1 August 2014. One of the fellowships stipulates a preference for projects in digital humanities, especially those using our newly launched relational, event-based database, IbsenStage, which I’d also like to take the opportunity to call people’s attention to: https://ibsenstage.hf.uio.no IbsenStage aims to collect data on all stagings of Ibsen’s dramas from their premieres to today. We are looking for applicants with innovative and exciting projects within the field of Ibsen Studies broadly defined, who will be able and ready to work on an independent Ph.D. project starting in January 2015 or so. Because of the way the application process works here, the project description is the most important part of the application, and successful candidates will have a well formulated and conceived research project with a workable methodology and clear theoretical framework. Applications may of course be written in English, as English is the working language for the Centre for Ibsen Studies. -- Solveig Zempel Professor Emerita of Norwegian 808 Ivanhoe Drive Northfield, MN 55057 --[5]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2014 16:02:28 -0400 From: Leif Isaksen Subject: New position available at Getty Conservation Institute - Senior IT Project Manager In-Reply-To: <53A19DFA020000DC0019F54F@mail.getty.edu> Dear all The job opportunity below might well be of interest to someone on these lists (apologies for x-posting).

I look at it and wonder whether 'Digital Humanities' hasn't merely been tacked on to two - interesting and important - digitally-oriented research areas. But if there was a third research focus titled Digital Ontology things might look different. That research area (arguably the most important in terms of the Digital Humanities tradition you describe and I subscribe to) would perhaps investigate the relationship between analogue and digital products, and the relationship between manuscripts and their digital representations, the nature of software, the nature of digital infrastructure(s) etc. It might explore ways to use 3D printing or augmented reality for advanced humanities research, or the status and utility of virtual worlds. It might not just ask 'what is digital knowledge', but 'what is the nature of the digital'. Etc. I'm no philosopher, so I raise that as a tentative contribution to the discussion rather than a firm opinion. Any Digital Ontology theme would obviously (I hope) need to be based on artisanal practices to have any substance to it, and would be closely connected to their Epistemology theme. But it strikes me that there's something here worth watching - more so if they can hire a few digital humanities graduates and move beyond their current conceptual stub to something that really understands and leverages the tradition they apparently aim to align to. If they are actually blind to the work done over many decades in the areas you describe, of course, rather than merely making a start with the closest tools to hand, there is perhaps cause for dismay.

The course will be held at the University of Graz (Karl-Franzens-Universität) from 14th to 19th September 2014. DiXiT is an international network of high-profile institutions that are actively involved in the creation and publication of digital scholarly editions and offers a training and research programme in the multi-disciplinary skills, technologies, theories, and methods of digital scholarly editing. DiXiT is funded under Marie Curie Actions within the European Commission's 7th Framework Programme. The second DiXiT camp will be an intensive training on XML TEI P5 for Digital Scholarly Editions and on standards, tools and software for creating digital editions. It will provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical experience in creating digital editions using the open international encoding standard XML TEI P5. Basics of representing textual phenomena and features for the description, transcription and representation of primary sources will be covered, from data input to publication. The lectures will be held by experts from the DiXiT partners and will cover the following areas: · General introduction on XML TEI P5 · Transcription and editorial interventions · Critical apparatus · Genetic editing · Tools for digital editing · Customization of the TEI schema · Workflow and solutions to create an online presentation out of TEI · Metadata standards · Edition beyond text: image-text-linkage and music editions Evening lectures on use cases will accompany the morning and afternoon sessions. Besides the Shelly-Godwin Archive (http://shelleygodwinarchive.org), two editing projects from Graz, Hugo von Montfort - the poetic work (http://gams.uni-graz.at/me) and the Moral Weeklies in Romance-speaking Europe (http://gams.uni-graz.at/mws) will serve as examples for different editing scopes. The DiXiT camp on XML TEI P5 for Digital Scholarly Editions - Standards, tools and software is open to all students registered for postgraduate and in particular doctoral programs (PhD or equivalent) anywhere in the world with basic experience in scholarly editing. The course will strongly focus on practical exercise. We will therefore prefer applications which can bring own material for the exercises. All teaching will be in English. The course offers 25 positions from which twelve are reserved for DiXiT fellows, leaving 13 vacancies for other applicants. Participants will be required to arrange their own accommodation and travel to Graz, but there will be no fee for the course itself. Some bursaries will be available for travel and accommodation. For further details and the provisional schedule see http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/de/forschen/dixit/ . Applications close on 28 July 2014 and early registration is highly recommended. Please use the application form at < http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/de/forschen/dixit/ > and send it to dixit@uni-graz.at.

The project, led by Hilary Nesi (PI) and Emma Moreton (CI) at Coventry University, brought together a range of academics from different disciplines and locations to address common issues encountered when studying correspondence collections. This particular set of tools is just one of several attempts at visualisation made by participants in the project, more information on which can be found at: http://lettersofmigration.blogspot.fr/ The visualisations themselves use a variety of open-source libraries, including Leaflet, Exhibit, JQuery, D3, Dimple, and Peoplemovin, but have been chosen and tailored specifically for spatial, temporal and personal attributes. They concentrate on the metadata rather than the content of the letters themselves. The dataset was encoded in TEI and the letters used were drawn from the collections of the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies and the Immigration History Research Center and Archives at the University of Minnesota. More information on these collections can be found at: http://www.qub.ac.uk/cms/ and http://www.ihrc.umn.edu/research/ I hope it's of interest.

The poor semi-colon is used more in coding these days (and to end a statement usually, quite unlike its English grammatical counterpart) and its usage in a sentence seems to have been largely forgotten. The "That/that/that" structure intended obviously for rhetorical flourish ends up losing some power IMHO due to the poor/erroneous punctuation. It is also somewhat out of place in a Chronicle of Higher Education. My kingdom for an editor, someone sadly cried.

Specifically social media correspondents would see that the EADH web site is kept up to date with respect to events, calls for papers, and important developments, and would use blogging and tweeting to engage the DH community more immediately. We hope that DH social media correspondents will find these tasks professionally rewarding, and we’ll also offer 500 GBP/annum as a bursary to those taking on the internships for one year. We hope to hear from candidates from a range of regions and humanities disciplines! Preference will be given to candidates who can blog and tweet fluently in at least two languages, and/or to those who can demonstrate their own blogging and, more generally, journalistic experience. Please send a letter describing your motivation and what you might add to the communications effort, including a brief curriculum vitae and the names and addresses of two people willing to write a note in support of your application, to Jan Rybicki, EADH Communications Officer. Please post your applications to jkrybicki[at]gmail.com before July 5th, 2014. - See more at: http://eadh.org/news/2014/06/18/eadh-social-media-correspondents-sought#sthash.9LsuLo5i.dpuf _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D0E5B684C; Thu, 26 Jun 2014 07:46:42 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B4AF67F9; Thu, 26 Jun 2014 07:46:34 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id AA9DE648C; Thu, 26 Jun 2014 07:46:32 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140626054632.AA9DE648C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 07:46:32 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.157 events: a connected past X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 157.

Imperial College London CFP deadline? 4 July 2014 A one and a half day multi-disciplinary meeting to explore how concepts and techniques from network- and complexity science can be used to study archaeological data. These challenges include the use of material data as proxy evidence for past human behaviour, questions about long-term processes of social change, and the fragmentary nature of archaeological data. We aim to bring together physical scientists and archaeologists in order to highlight the challenges posed by archaeological data and research questions, and explore collaborative ways of tackling them using perspectives drawn from network and complexity science. The meeting will take place on the afternoon of Monday 8th September and all day Tuesday 9th September at Imperial College London. A hands-on introductory workshop is planned for the morning of Monday 8th September – details to be announced. We are looking for 20 to 30 minute contributions and are inviting researchers from any relevant field to submit a one page abstract in pdf format. This should be sent to: connectedpast2014@imperial.ac.uk The abstract should contain the title, name of proposed speaker and names of any additional authors and their associated institutions, along with a brief abstract (200-500 words). Any additional information (figure, links, bibliography, etc.) may be included within the one page limit. Extended submission deadline: 4th July 2014 Decisions announced: 11th July 2014 Keynote talks: The meeting will feature keynote talks by Alan Wilson, University College London, and Ulrik Brandes, University Konstanz (a further additional keynote will be announced soon). Shorter talks will be given by other invited speakers and from researchers submitting abstracts. Finally, at a later date we will issue a call for some quick fire (five minute) talks to allow researchers at all stages of their career to participate. Registration Fee: The registration fee is £45 (£22.50 for students) as a contribution towards local expenses. This will cover lunch on the Tuesday, coffee/tea breaks plus drinks at the informal social event on the Monday evening. Registration will open in June. Travel Bursaries: Some support is available to cover travel and other costs of UK-based researchers attending the meeting. If you wish to be considered for such support, please send a request explaining why you should be considered for a bursary to the same address as for papers with the subject “Bursary application [your name]” (connectedpast2014@imperial.ac.uk). Bursaries will be given out from 4th July 2014 onwards while funds remain. Further Information: The meeting is organised as part of The Connected Past series of events, funded in part by EPSRC.

Novel applications of semantic Web technologies and Linked Data offer possibilities to advance approaches to digital curation and preservation. During the last quarter of a century the explosion in digital content creation and use has transformed the relationship individuals and society have with information. Therefore, sustainable long-term curation approaches to our digital cultural heritage are essential. Handling digital content in secure ways poses many socio-cultural and technological challenges. Changing technologies and shifting user communities as well as the increasing complexity of digital content being enriched with software and multimedia attachments are a couple of examples. Addressing the obstacles to curation and preservation is the central theme of the workshop. This full day workshop is an exciting opportunity for collaboration and cross-fertilization between the Digital Libraries, the Digital Preservation and the Semantic Web community. A closer dialogue between the technical oriented communities and researchers from the (digital) humanities and social sciences as well as cultural heritage institutions is encouraged. TOPICS OF INTEREST: We intend to have an open discussion on topics related to the general subject of Semantic Digital Archives. Hence, we welcome contributions that focus on, but are not limited to: - Architectures and Frameworks for semantic AIS and Archival Information Infrastructures (AII) - Semantic (Web) services implementing AIS & AII - Contextualization of digital archives, museums and digital libraries - Linked data for AIS, AII, museums and digital libraries - Ontologies for AIS, AII, museums and digital libraries - Semantics of complex content (e.g. Social Media, Multimedia) - Information integration/semantic ingest (e.g. from digital libraries) - Semantic search & information retrieval in digital archives, digital museums and digital libraries - User interfaces for (semantic) AIS, AII, digital museums & semantic digital libraries - Semantics for Preservation Processes and Protocols - Preservation of work flow processes - provenance models for AIS, AII, museums and digital libraries - Semantics for the appraisal and selection of content - Evolving semantics in long-term archives - Trust for ingest & data security/integrity check for long-term storage of archival records - User studies focusing on end-user needs and information seeking behavior of end-users - Implementations & evaluations of (semantic) AIS, AII, semantic digital museums & semantic digital libraries - Semantic long-term storage & hardware organization for AIS & AII & digital libraries SUBMISSION DETAILS: Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers related to the aforementioned topics.

In the discovery of digital resources language technology are certainly playing a pivotal role. The goal of the workshop is to demonstrate how the application of language technology has produced a new understanding of texts in different fields of Humanities. The workshop will bring together researchers who already apply language technology, and those who would like to learn about the current state of art in this new and evolving area. The organizers invite researchers (especially early career scholars) who plan to apply language technology, but do not already have the necessary skills and technical background. The second main goal of the workshop is to enhance exchange of experiences, disseminate know-how, and to explore potential future collaborations. This international workshop is the joint effort of two major Europe-wide initiatives: CLARIN (Common Language Resource and Tools Infrastructure) and NeDiMAH (Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities). NeDiMAH is funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF). Thanks to generous funding from NeDiMAH and CLARIN, participation will be free of charge, and funds will be available to reimburse travel and accommodation expenses for a number of participants.

This vast information resource is of enormous importance to scholars, both as a primary source and as a means of networking and communication. It is, however, strikingly ephemeral, and much important data has already been lost. The archiving of this vast range of material, so that it is accessible to both contemporary and future researchers, increasingly occupies national memory institutions, and researchers are also beginning to realise and explore its value. This conference seeks to explore the potential of web archives for scholarly use, to highlight innovative research, to investigate the challenges and opportunities of working with the archived web, to identify opportunities for incorporating web archives in learning and teaching, and to discuss and inform archival provision. This multi-disciplinary conference is aimed at scholars, web archiving institutions, web archivists, curators, IT-developers, companies and public institutions interested in web archiving and research using web archives. In conjunction with the overall topic of web archives, general areas of interest include, but are not limited to: • the history(ies) of the web • the changing structure of the web • material culture and display in a digital context • political and literary reputation online • public engagement online • patterns of culture online • networks of social communication • the evolution of language on the web • the history of institutions and organisations online • the history of social and political movements on the web • the relationship between image, sound and text online • the web as a forum for commemoration • health and education online • using web archives in the classroom • national/international boundaries online • approaches to web archiving • research methods for studying the archived web • providing access to the archived web This list is not exhaustive, and we are keen to attract the widest possible range of topics. Important dates: • June 2014: first call for submissions • September 2014: second call for submissions and submissions open • 1 November 2014: third call for submissions • 8 December 2014: submissions due • 19 January: notification of acceptance • 9 March 2015: registrations for presenters open • 20 April 2015: papers uploaded (if we decide this) • 20 April 2015: registrations for presenters close • 27 April 2015: registrations for non-presenters open • 11 May 2015: programme released • 25 May 2015: registrations for non-presenters close • 8-10 June 2015: Conference Keynotes: Meghan Dougherty, Loyola University, Chicago One more keynote, TBA Organised by RESAW, Aarhus University, the State and University Library (Denmark), the Royal Library (Denmark), l'Institut des sciences de la communication du CNRS, Université de Lille 3, the Institute of Historical Research (University of London), the University of Amsterdam, the British Library, and Leibniz University Hannover Read the full call at http://resaw.eu/events/international-conference-aarhus-june-2015/ —————————————————————————————— LATEST PUBLICATIONS AND PAPERS August 2013 Web historiography and Internet Studies: Challenges and perspectives, New Media & Society, 15(5), 752-764 Read more: http://nms.sagepub.com/content/15/5/752.abstract June 2013 Historical Network Analysis of the Web, Social Science Computer Review, 31(3), 306-321 Read more: http://ssc.sagepub.com/content/31/3/306.abstract March 2013 The Web and Digital Humanities: Theoretical and Methodological Concerns (w.

In his recent book, In Defense of Disciplines: Interdisciplinarity and Specialization in the Research University (Chicago 2014), Jerry A Jacobs looks critically at the largely uncritical fashion for interdisciplinary initiatives, primarily in the U.S. Jacobs, a professor of sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, writes as one and so is concerned with disciplines as social phenomena. His concern isn't, as mine is, with how one thinks one's way into another discipline. Rather it is with the institutional setting in which such thinking is done. But his book is a salutary antidote to one particular kind of mind-numbing cant that actually works to forestall the benefits of interdisciplinary explorations. A large dose of this antidote comes highly recommended. Comments?

Consider the following sentence: > Elizabeth, whose bookshop features a chalkboard visible from the > street, offers the following advice to passers-by: > > EAT WHATEVER YOU WANT. > IF SOMEONE LECTURES YOU ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT, > EAT THEM TOO. I suggest that no one competent in English would read this and understand without any difficulty whatsoever that the advice on eating has been written on the chalkboard. Is there a computational system that would offer this interpretation as by far the most likely? One computational solution would be to calculate the probability of a bookshop owner who stands outside her shop offering such advice rather than writes the two sentences on her chalkboard. I'd think that in most locations, though perhaps not all, the probability of the former happening would be very low. But in others, such as the one in which I just encountered the inscription (Newtown, an eclectic suburb of Sydney), it is somewhat higher. We commonly apply the computational metaphor to our own processes of thought, sometimes forgetting that it is a metaphor. Are we being misled? If so how?

The questioning of the rules associated with academic disciplines, and the increasingly blurred boundaries between subjects, represents a challenge to the objectivity of knowledge. This leaves scholars without a structured framework for criticality and, unable to challenge existing knowledge or make truth claims in relation to new knowledge, the academic enterprise is betrayed." It's clearly an important corrective to any headlong and unthinking surge towards embracing interdisciplinary research as intrinsically more beneficial and innovative than research based in the mainstream of established academic disciplines.

Jockers" Subject: Please join the Brief of Digital Humanities and Law Scholars in Authors Guild v. Google (Appeal to the Second Circuit) *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1404144721_2014-06-30_humanist-owner@lists.digitalhumanities.org_14484.1.txt http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1404144721_2014-06-30_humanist-owner@lists.digitalhumanities.org_14484.2.docx Dear Colleagues, We are writing to seek your support for our amicus brief in the Court of Appeals in Authors Guild v. Google, Inc. Background Since we started working on this project just over two years ago two district courts and the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit have rejected the Authors Guild's attacks on library digitization and the legality of text-mining. We are confident that the Second Circuit will uphold Judge Chin's decision last year where he rejected (on a motion for summary judgement) the Authors Guild's copyright infringement claim against Google over its Google Book Search product. The rulings in Authors Guild v. Google and the parallel case of Authors Guild v. Hathitrust are a critical moment in the fight to define fair use for the Digital Humanities. In Authors Guild v. Google, Judge Chin expressly based ruling in part on the fact that "Google Books ... has transformed book text into data for purposes of substantive research, including data mining and text mining in new areas, thereby opening up new fields of research. Words in books are being used in a way they have not been used before. Google Books has created something new in the use of book text -- the frequency of words and trends in their usage provide substantive information." In his decision, Judge Chin cites the Brief of Digital Humanities and Law Scholars as Amici Curiae that you and your colleagues signed. Chin writes that "Google Books permits humanities scholars to analyze massive amounts of data -- the literary record created by a collection of tens of millions of books." The Authors Guild is now appealing Judge Chin's decision (on this and other grounds) and we would like your support in drafting a new brief for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. A different panel of that same court has already upheld the decision in Authors Guild v. Hathitrust. We believe that these cases will have a dramatic effect on research in computer science to linguistics, history, literature and the digital humanities. Argument in a nutshell According to the U.S. Constitution, the purpose of copyright is “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts”. Copyright law should not be an obstacle to statistical and computational analysis of the millions of books owned by university libraries. Copyright law has long recognized the distinction between protecting an author’s original expression and the public’s right to access the facts and ideas contained within that expression. That distinction must be maintained in the digital age so that library digitization, internet search and related non-expressive uses of written works remain legal. You can help preserve the balance of copyright law by joining our brief as a signatory (we need your name and affiliation e.g. Associate Professor, Jane Doe, Springfield University). We need your name etc., by July 9, 2014. Please enter your details directly via this online tool: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1QSA_fUSaRpw47wwRcXh0SXkZFx1NQ2NbjhBbfTrICnA/viewform?usp=send_form Or, if you prefer, simply send email matthewsag@gmail.com. Please feel free to share this invitation with other interested academics and Phd students. Thank you!

They are tedious, error prone, and subject to unwitting bias, and the quest for formalized ways of guiding these tasks is as old, if not older, than philology itself. The last thirty years have seen the adoption of several digital approaches to textual collation, from heuristics-supported Collate to fully algorithmic Juxta. What is the current state of the art of digital collation? How do we apply it to manuscript texts? Does CollateX turn collation into a solved problem? What are the prospects for multilingual collation? It is these kind of questions that underlie a research summit on collation to be held in Münster on 3 and 4 October 2014. The COST Action IS1005 'Medioevo Europeo' (http://www.medioevoeuropeo.org/) has kindly offered funding to organize this focused research summit on (digital) collation for ancient, medieval manuscript, and early print texts. This summit is kindly hosted by the Institute für Neutestamentliche Textforschung (INTF) of the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster (http://egora.uni-muenster.de/intf/index_en.shtml), representing a wealth of knowledge and experience on the collation of witnesses for the Greek New Testament. This summit will allow the participants to inform themselves about the issues, methods, and tools involved with collating older texts for scholarly purposes. The summit will feature some of the most prominent scholars in this area who will offer an overview of scholarly theory underpinning collation, the history of digital support for this scholarly task, and the praxis of current collation techniques. The summit will also offer a intensive hands-on training in digital collation by researcher/developers that were involved in building CollateX ( http://collatex.net), Juxta (http://www.juxtasoftware.org/), and several other tools for scholarly editing. The second day of the summit features a day long clinic for participants who apply collation in their scholarly research. We offer the possibility for participants to present both theoretical and practical problems and solutions for collating old texts. We invite them to show their work, tools, problems, needs, and results of applied collation in scholarly editing. == HOW TO PARTICIPATE == This unique research summit is open for participation by all scholars and developers involved in the application of (digital) collation of older texts. There are two ways to attend: as a regular attendee or as a presenter of a collation use case during the clinics on the second day of the research summit. We highly encourage participants to present their collation related work during one of the clinics. To do so send a statement of interest and short description of your proposed contribution to the clinic (no more than 300 words) to joris.van.zundert@huygens.knaw.nl. Deadline of submission is August 1, 2014. As we seek to encourage the participation of early-stage researchers (PhD students or post-doctoral researchers), a limited number of bursaries are available to cover travel expenses. If you wish to apply for one of these, please submit an additional statement motivating your application (main criteria are importance of this workshop for your current research and absence of other possible funding). Abstracts and applications for bursaries will be evaluated by the scientific committee. Successful candidates will be notified of acceptance on August 15, 2014. Participants will be offered travel reimbursements according to COST rules and limitations (i.e. reimbursement of flight/travel and a 100 Euro lodging and sustenance fee per day of up to a maximum of three days).

In this case I am working with nineteenth-century American newspapers. I recently contacted a library that makes a Civil War-era newspaper available in searchable format for use on (brick and mortar) site, and asked them for permission to work with materials from 1861-1865. After we negotiated a brief agreement setting out terms of use, they sent me the files. The problem is that they sent me a TIF-format image for every page. I had asked for the text-format versions of the files. I am now making sure that I can be clear about what I am requesting when I follow up with them. It is my understanding that if a textual resource is to be searched in any effective sense, the software must work with the material in a text format. Thus, if the lending library presents searchable textual materials, they must have a text-format file on hand. Should I move forward with this assumption? Please advise. Drew E.

This interdisciplinary initiative is a response to the growing popularity of Digital Humanities and an increased tendency to apply computer techniques for supporting and facilitating research in Humanities. Nowadays, due to the increasing activities in digitizing and opening historical sources, the Science of History can greatly benefit from the advances of Computer and Information sciences which consist of processing, organizing and making sense of data and information. As such, new Computer Science techniques can be applied to verify and validate historical assumptions based on text reasoning, image interpretation or memory understanding. Our objective is to provide for the two different research communities a place to meet and exchange ideas and to facilitate discussion. We hope the workshop will result in a survey of current problems and potential solutions, with particular focus on exploring opportunities for collaboration and interaction of researchers working on various subareas within Computer Science and History Sciences. The main topics of the workshop are that of supporting historical research and analysis through the application of Computer Science theories or technologies, analyzing and making use of historical texts, recreating past course of actions, analyzing collective memories, visualizing historical data, providing efficient access to large wealth of accumulated historical knowledge and so on. The detailed topics of expected paper submissions are (but not limited to): - Natural language processing and text analytics applied to historical documents - Analysis of longitudinal document collections - Search and retrieval in document archives and historical collections, associative search - Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources - Named entity recognition and disabmiguation - Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical references in text - Finding analogical entities over time - Computational linguistics for old texts - Analysis of language change over time - Digitizing and archiving - Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time - Automatic multimedia document dating - Applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques to History - Simulating and recreating the past, social relations, motivations, figurations - Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data - Automatic biography generation - Mining Wikipedia for historical data - OCR and transcription old texts - Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical data collections - Studies on collective memory - Studying and modeling forgetting and remembering processes - Estimating credibility of historical findings - Probing the limits of Histoinformatics - Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science Full paper submissions are limited to 10 pages, while short paper submissions should be less than 5 pages. Submissions should be sent in English in PDF via the submission website. They should be formatted according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines. They must be original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be evaluated by at least three different reviewers who come from Computer Science and History Science backgrounds. The accepted papers will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

We wish to gather early stage researchers (Ph.D. candidates and post-docs) from all disciplines in order to drive forward the discussion on topics in the field of Internet research. The colloquium provides a stage for new perspectives on current issues of Internet and society. ===BERLIN EARLY STAGE RESEARCHERS COLLOQUIUM 2014 Early stage researchers (Ph.D. candidates and post-docs) from all disciplines are invited to push ahead with the discussion revolving around Internet research. Conference: 09 October 2014 in Berlin Submission Deadline: 1 August 2014: Online submission via: http://colloquium.hiig. de/index.php/esrc/esrc2014/schedConf/cfp ******************************************************************** TOPICS 2014 This year’s colloquium will consist of two thematically focused tracks. We cordially invite you to submit your research projects on one of the following two topics: *1. PAY PER PIXEL* In the near future, we will be paying for movies according to the size of the screen that it is displayed on, as stated by Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation. Whether that will actually happen remains to be seen, however it is clear that business models are changing rapidly due to the digital switch and correspondingly changing user expectations and behaviours. In the ESRC we will talk about how audiovisual media (e.g. film, animation, games, television etc) can cope with these dynamic circumstances. In specific on how new business models occur that adjust to the changing viewing behavior of users. What implications does this have on copyright legislation and on data protection as well as on the norms and regulations that emerge outside the legal realm? We regard this theme from a multidisciplinary perspective, and welcome contributions from the area of media studies, law, social sciences and economics. During the session, academics and people working in the field will participate in the discussion and provide a practical angle. » MORE *2. PRIVATE INFORMATION – OPEN DEBATES* Privacy debates in the age of the Internet are prominent focal points of all the challenges arising from increased network connection, new data generation and collection techniques and conflicting cultural values. In the ESRC, we want to explore the governance of privacy works on a global scale. What are the global governance challenges of privacy? How is privacy understood and perceived in different fora and what does that mean for governing privacy? We welcome perspectives from all disciplines and from theoretical and empirical backgrounds to contribute to our debate on governance and privacy. During the session there will be very brief five-minute inputs by the authors of the papers and ample of room for discussion and the generation of new ideas. » MORE *************************************************************************** PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES You can apply for two types of participation at the colloquium: *1. Paper presentation* Please feel invited to submit theoretical, practical or experimental research work. We kindly ask you to follow these submission guidelines: # An abstract outlining the relevance of the topic, the research method and questions. Max. 300 words/1800 characters with spaces (possibly printed in the programme) # A short paper providing more detailed information about your research. 2 to max. 8 pages; File type: PDF # Short CV. Max. 2 pages; File type: PDF *2. Participation only* Please state, why you would like to join the discussion and briefly describe your research or working background: # A short statement outlining your personal motivation, your connection to the topic and your working background. Max. 300 words/1800 characters with spaces (possibly printed in the programme) # Optional: Articles or papers that may underline your motivation or tell us more about your background.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 18:56:14 +0100 From: John Tucker Subject: Sir John Cadogan on policies for 'blue sky' research. [The following, forwarded from the Mersenne list, and although the research it discusses is in the physical sciences, the argument applies to all research motivated by curiosity rather than someone else's agenda. --WM] The Learned Society of Wales today publishes a major report championing and celebrating curiosity-driven 'blue sky' research -- formal details and link to a .pdf are below. The author is Sir John Cadogan, FRS who is well-known as an organic chemist, a former Director of Research at BP, and the first Director General of the UK Research Councils. He was also the President of the Learned Society of Wales. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cadogan. His argument is short and splendidly made, and the paper is very timely because it is directed at governments and charities (and many academics, for that matter) that advocate and promote "strategically important" research areas, the exclusive funding of directed and "managed" research programmes, and the necessity of formal collaborations and networks of scale to do anything. Among several points in the argument are: (i) the fundamental economic and social importance of the phenomenon of discovering things that we had no idea were there to be discovered; (ii) the inability of highly managed directed research programmes to make dramatic new discoveries; (iii) the herd mentality that leads to a safe convergence of received opinion on what are strategic research priorities and what should be funded; (iv) the collateral damage to the development of young researchers. Let me draw your attention to the way Sir John Cadogan has collected as evidence the testimony of some of the UK's top scientists and engineers, looking back on their own discoveries. Philosophies of science policy and patronage draw on -- indeed, are based on -- historical evidence and beliefs, and personal experience. I would be interested to hear of any relevant scholarship that addresses the issues in the report and the development of research policies. Vannevar Bush's 1945 celebrated contribution "Science the Endless Frontier" must have attracted plenty of scholarly attention but hopefully there is more (such as detailed work in particular national contexts). Sir John's paper is designed to raise contemporary issues, bring them into the open, and influence thinking. I hope it may interest some historians of science, technology and medicine. John PS. Sir John Cadogan, the author of the report, will receive the Menelaus Medal of the Learned Society of Wales at a ceremony at Swansea University on the morning Thursday 3 July, and will deliver a public lecture at 11.00 in Glyndwr D entitled ‘From Pure Science to Profit and Quality of Life’, which will draw on the paper published today. If you are anywhere near, perhaps you can attend this special occasion. _____________________________________________________ From the Learned Society of Wales One of the issues which has been high on the agenda of the Society over recent years has been the funding of research in the United Kingdom and, in particular, the changing balance between the funding of curiosity-driven, blue sky research towards and the funding of directed programmes. The Society commissioned its Inaugural President, Sir John Cadogan, to write a paper on this important subject. The paper, Curiosity-driven ‘Blue Sky’ Research: a threatened vital activity? is published by the Society today. The paper questions superficial assumptions about the value of funding blue skies research; analyses and celebrates the impact it has on our economy and quality of life; and criticises the heavy contemporary emphasis on well-funded directed research programmes and points out some negative side-effects. The paper concludes that the balance has swung too far in favour of directed programmes and calls on the UK Government to devise a funding programme, with its own budget line, to ensure ongoing support for blue sky research for its own sake. The President of the Learned Society of Wales Sir Emyr Jones Parry GCMG FInstP PLSW, said “As the evidence gathered by Sir John reveals, undirected research has delivered many unexpected benefits, for example penicillin and antibiotics. So it requires sufficient space within research budgets to retain the potential for further unplanned discoveries.” The paper features testimony from many of the UK’s top scientists and engineers, including Fellows of the Learned Society of Wales.

In-Reply-To: <20140701203626.22B10626E@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Drew, my guess is that they don't have those years transcribed yet into text format. If you compare the Trove collection at the nla.gov.au, which has even older newspapers digitised, the problem with OCR of texts from this era becomes apparent. I heard that they used Abbyy FineReader to get a rough text, and it does a very good job considering what they started with, but it still needs editing. They use a crowd sourcing approach for that which is very popular and successful. Alternatively you could use a tool like Acrobat, which can do OCR directly within the image. I don't know if it does a good enough job with those newspapers, though. And maybe that is easier for you. But before you can do any text analysis you do need those text files in some form.

One reason sites offer up TIF images instead of text is that the text, resulting from document imaging systems, may be damaged to the point where isn't really that readable. They rely on there being sufficient duplication of content words in the data to provide keywords matches. --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 23:26:42 +0100 From: "Dave Postles" Subject: Re: 28.168 text for text mining?

In-Reply-To: <20140701203626.22B10626E@digitalhumanities.org> Drew, Yes, TIFF files must have OCR peformed on them prior to searching. However, that is easy for MS Windows XP or later software. One support note on the process can be found at: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/about-indexing-text-in-tiff-and-mdi-files-HP003081236.aspx There are any number of tiff OCR services, some for free on the web. The library in question may have a text file or they may have embedded the results of OCR in the TIFF files already. Would be worth asking. Best of luck with the project!

The apparent malfunction of the academy's processes in one country (in a domain very different to the humanities) hardly invalidates the basic point which you quote. In fact, this would only be valid evidence if the existing review process in the NIH was strongly based within traditional disciplines and entirely isolated from, and unaffected by, current trends towards interdisciplinarity, which I doubt. The key point made in this respect by Jacobs is that authority for hiring and rewards in inter-disciplinary centres tend to shift from the realm of academics and into the hands of administrators. That might sound worse than a lottery to some. -- Martin Wynne IT Services, University of Oxford Oxford e-Research Centre The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics Director of User Involvement, CLARIN ERIC martin.wynne@it.ox.ac.uk _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1093B6691; Fri, 4 Jul 2014 00:37:31 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F37616688; Fri, 4 Jul 2014 00:37:22 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3E0F66681; Fri, 4 Jul 2014 00:37:21 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140703223721.3E0F66681@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2014 00:37:21 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.176 DH2014 news: nascent history; electrical sockets X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 176.

Last week we emailed to ADHO a draft of a SIG proposal. We received prompt and useful feedback (huge thanks!), and are looking forward to fleshing out the proposal and re-submitting it by the end of the summer. The initial proposal talked about disciplinary self-reflection, historicizing DH artifacts, pursuing multiple digitization projects, and finding a permanent digital archive solution (an intermediary one is available). The feedback we've gotten encourages us to expand our thinking beyond specific projects, attract more people interested in signing on, and pay particular attention to truly global representation. We would very much like to move in these directions. To this end, we would like to use next week's DH 2014 conference in Lausanne to meet with some others who may be interested in participating in a History of DH ADHO SIG, should it be approved to go forward. We will meet informally on THURSDAY EVENING JULY 10TH, 7:30-9PM, overlapping with that evening's reception and moving on from there. All interested are warmly invited. If you have concerns about finding us, please email me privately beforehand and we'll make sure to connect. If you would like to participate in the SIG-to-hopefully-be but will not be attending the conference or otherwise cannot make it, please email me. Please include any thoughts you may have about what the group should pursue, and we will bring them to the meeting. Following the Lausanne meeting, we will likely set up an email- or web-based discussion list, and expand from there. We've made a few first steps, but there's a lot more to talk about, and we hope you will join the conversation. Please bring this to the attention of anyone you think may be interested. The more engaged participants, the better off we are.

SAS can’t afford to appoint a new director of IES, but it can afford to enter a field that is already fully occupied by the world-class Department of Digital Humanities at KCL (see and the up-and-coming one at UCL (see https://www.ucl.ac.uk/dh/. ), both within a square mile. The pattern is familiar: this was brought to you by the Laurel and Hardy team that had the fine idea of selling Shakespeare folios in order to buy twentieth-century manuscripts. And then decided to close down the Institutes of English and Music without informing the University's trustees, or consulting the affected parties. The current administration is like an octopus that has had some of its tentacles detached from its brain, and are moving of their own accord. I do hope you can give this some space.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2014 02:58:09 +0000 From: Hugh Craig Subject: Call for nominations for the 2016 Busa Award The Roberto Busa Prize is an award of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (ADHO). It is named in honour of Father Roberta Busa (b. 1913), the first pioneer of humanities computing, who in 1949 began experiments in linguistic automation as part of his research on the writings of Thomas Aquinas. This computational work was central to publication of the 56-volume Index Thomisticus, completed in 1980. The Busa award is given to recognise outstanding lifetime achievements in the application of information and communications technologies to humanities research. The award is given every three years, alternating with other ADHO awards, such as the Zampolli award. The first award was given to Father Busa himself in 1998. Subsequent winners have been: 2001, John Burrows; 2004, Susan Hockey; 2007, Wilhelm Ott; 2010, Joe Raben; and 2013, Willard McCarty. The next Busa Award will be given at the DH conference in 2016. The Award Committee now invites nominations. Nominations may be made by anyone with an interest in humanities computing and neither nominee nor nominator has to be a member of any ADHO Constituent Organisation. Nominators should give some account of the nominee's work and the reasons it is felt to be an outstanding contribution to the field. A list of bibliographic references to the nominee's work is desirable. Nominators are welcome to resubmit updated versions of nominations submitted in previous years. The recipient of the award receives 1500 GBP and is expected to give a keynote or plenary lecture (on a topic of their choice) at the 2016 Digital Humanities conference. ADHO will host the recipient as a guest of honour for the conference at which the Prize is awarded and the lecture given-this means that all travel, accommodation and subsistence costs of the Prize recipient will be paid by the Alliance. Nominations should be emailed to Hugh Craig (Chair of the 2016 Busa Award Committee; hugh.craig@newcastle.edu.au) no later than October 1, 2014. The winner of the Award will be announced at the 2015 meeting and awarded at the 2016 meeting. More information about the award can be found on the ADHO web site: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/awards/BusaPrize. _______________________________________________ List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 298186733; Fri, 4 Jul 2014 23:30:38 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 630F0666E; Fri, 4 Jul 2014 23:30:29 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id AB2CD3AEC; Fri, 4 Jul 2014 23:30:26 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20140704213026.AB2CD3AEC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2014 23:30:26 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.181 DH2014 news: ADHO/centerNet; GeoHumanities X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 181.

The SIG was formed with the focus on spatial, spatial-temporal and 'placial' perspectives in the digital humanities, and to foster communication on these topics across disciplines. Our members span the globe and represent a variety of working and research environments. To learn more, see our website, which includes blog postings, membership information and our founding document: http://geohumanities.org Please note the following GeoHumanities SIG events at DH2014: Our inaugural meeting takes place on July 8th (Tuesday) from 9 am to 4 pm at SwissTech, EPFL, Room 1C. The featured discussion topic is historic gazetteers and their development. We are very pleased to have a number of ongoing projects shared from internationally recognized scholars. At the end of the afternoon, we will conduct a short business meeting to discuss upcoming SIG projects and organizational matters, including our role with the DiRT/TaDiRAH project. A full agenda is here: http://geohumanities.org/GeoHumSIG_meeting If you are in Lausanne, we hope that you can attend all or some part of the day. There is no fee and we look forward to your participation. On Wednesday, July 9th, the SIG will have a casual dinner meet up at Les Brasseurs (Rue Centrale 4), 19:00, and departing EPFL at 18:15. We would like a head count, so please rsvp either through twitter (DM the SIG) or email me directly.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 06 Jul 2014 07:37:57 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the physical difference The following is from the Australian novelist David Malouf's recollections of his childhood in the late 1930s to early 1940s in Brisbane, 12 Edmonstone Street. (This was a time, during World War II, when Australia was bombed and under threat of invasion.) Malouf describes his favourite room in the house, the piano room, with the instrument he calls "a magic box" ("But then we too are magic boxes. That is the revelation."). Then he turns to the wireless, the radio, unlike the piano "limited to what is actual and mundane: the unpredictable happenings of the nightly news" (p. 36). > Still, as a piece of furniture it is impressive, you can't deny it: > three feet high with three kinds of veneer and a speaker whose shape > you can feel behind knobbly cloth. The voices that come from it owe > as much of their significance, surely, to the rich solidity of the > thing, its oneness with tables and beds and chairs, as to their own > rounded vowels or the importance (for the course of World History > depends on it) of what they have to report. Much about what we come > to feel about the war, and our own precarious fate, might be > different if the instrument itself were different. If it were made of > some metal alloy, for example, rather than living wood. Or if it were > small enough, as now, to be one of the body's light appendages. A > degree of gravity, at this moment, is essential. The Wireless has it. > We are in the age of certainties. Its three veneers, the baroque > curves it shares with wardrobes and sideboards, its bourgeois > dignity, are terms we appreciate. It gives a visible presence, a > tangible form, to words that might otherwise, in this quiet > backwater, have nothing to attach themselves to.... > > The Wireless commands attention because it is 'furniture'. We draw > our chairs up and attend. And this sitting together in a family > group, drawn here by the furniture itself, is part of the message we > are to receive. > > We do not know it yet but the war is already won. > > The other thing we do not know is that all the values it was meant to > embody, even in us, are already lost.

These co-authors note six "things that worked for us--many of which worked for us after not doing them definitely didn't work": 1. Ground rules first ("nailing down how the labor and credit will be split") 2. Things fall apart (projects tend to get out of hand; life intervenes) 3. It's not about you (managing relationships is the key to success) 4. Trust your partner ("Coauthors come together because they're complements") 5. The infinite veto ("authors can block any material they're uncomfortable with") 6. Don't track changes ("the track changes function... bears the cloven stamp of Satan") Comments?

It is extremely creative and a rapid writing process that is a useful complement to the "slow" and single author writing that humanities scholars typically engage in.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 07 Jul 2014 14:16:36 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: enthusiasms underwritten by ideologies I'm indebted to John Naughton (Cambridge) for recommending an old article on systems thinking, Robert Lilienfeld, "Systems theory as ideology", Social Research 42.4 (Winter 1975): 637-60. We are in the grips of a different though related set of enthusiasms now, so the urgency of Lilienfeld's and others' attack on systems theory as a movement may seem a bit antique, but the lessons to be learned from this article are just as relevant now as they were in the mid 1970s. There are psychological, moral and political lessons, but the one that stands out to me is the old warning against mistaking the model for the modelled, i.e. uncritically internalising the model so that becomes the way in which the modeller unwittingly construes the world. Put another way, it is the caution to resist "as if" becoming "is". I suspect that to talk about X as a "system" is already to put oneself on a slippery slope at the bottom of which lies a flowchart. That is, if we regard something, like the human body, say, as a system, much is gained but also much silently slips out of view. Lilienfeld's analysis of systems thinking stresses its qualities as an ideological movement. It once was "the next new thing". Comments?

Apparently, as in life, a source can get on such a list by unproved accusation or by having an IP number that lies in a block of addresses which includes a spammer. This has happened to Humanist, as a result of which some members of this group are now being blocked from receiving postings. Malgosia Askanas, our technical expert who wrote Humanist's processing software and manages Mailman for us, is asking for help. She writes, > We are looking for contact with someone who has direct understanding > of, and access to, the Cloudmark Sender Intelligence filters > (http://www.cloudmark.com), and can reliably advise us as to: > > -- Why exactly the digitalhumanities.org IP has been blacklisted; > -- What we (i.e. either Humanist or its hosting organization) need to > fix so as to avoid being blacklisted in the future. We would be enormously grateful if anyone who can advise us about this would write to Malgosia at . Many thanks.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 09:25:54 +0000 From: "Prescott, Andrew" Subject: Science-ification These two items in ‘Research Fortnight’ may be of interest: 1. The art of science-ification The AHRC is changing the nature of arts research The Arts and Humanities Research Council has set itself an ambitious target: to make the “Arts” in its name as respected as the “Humanities”. Council member Deborah Bull, director of cultural partnerships at King’s College London, is to explore how this might be done, with chief executive Rick Rylance having acknowledged an imbalance in how the council treats traditional and more practice-based research. Ideas being floated include forging stronger links between arts and academic institutions, using emerging technologies to study arts practice, defining what ‘excellence’ means in the arts, using different models of peer review and using the ultimate arbiter of funding success: better metrics. The council is, in effect, paving the way for the arts to join the humanities, which are already closer to science. This ‘science-ification’ of arts and humanities research is documented vividly in A New History of the Humanities by Rens Bod, director of the centre for digital humanities at the University of Amsterdam. Arts and humanities research funders have long recognised that survival (let alone progress) in the fields they fund requires the conventions and mores of science to be adopted. Applying for large grants, working in teams, liaising with research offices and subjecting work to peer review are all part of the toolkit for the humanities, as much as for the sciences. Now, it is likely that the same will be true for practice-based arts research. The creation of the AHRC alongside a group of science research funders nearly a decade ago was a step in this direction. And it has reaped benefits. Being a member of the science club has meant that arts and humanities researchers have avoided the harsher cuts experienced by grantees of other public bodies such as the various UK arts councils. Of course, there are downsides. Over time, for example, it is likely that there will be a stronger emphasis on work that can be measured and replicated: work that involves data and exhibits a pattern of some kind. There will probably be less room in the university system for lone researchers. That is an unavoidable outcome of science-ification. There is, in all of this, an interesting link to recent history. It is well known that CP Snow, in his 1959 Two Cultures lecture, drew attention to the level of scientific illiteracy in the corridors of power. Less well known is that Snow, a novelist, was a Whitehall insider and an administrator of publicly funded scientific institutions. What irked him was how the majority of his humanities-trained civil-service colleagues frequenting the clubs of Pall Mall would happily acknowledge how little they knew about science. The UK government, parliament and civil service are slowly changing from a science-free zone. But the AHRC seems to be tackling this aspect of the Two Cultures problem in a different way: not only through better networking and public engagement, but by attempting to change the very nature of research in the arts and humanities. - See more at: https://www.researchprofessional.com/0/rr/news/uk/views-of-the-uk/2014/7/The-art-of-science-ification.html#sthash.qXprh9YF.dpuf 2. AHRC looks for ways to welcome artists into the fold The Arts and Humanities Research Council is considering how to put research arising from the practice of arts on an equal footing with conventional research, its chief executive has said. Rick Rylance argued at the annual forum of the Digital R&D Fund for the Arts on 3 July that there was now “dramatically” less resistance to research in practice than there was 10 years ago. He also said that it was difficult to use measures of quality for arts-based research of “equivalent value” to those used for other research areas. AHRC council member Deborah Bull, a former ballet dancer and now director of cultural partnerships at King’s College London, will be investigating how the council could become more welcoming to the arts. Bull told Research Fortnight that this could involve a report or inquiry, and that she is hoping to start work soon. “I’m trying to stimulate a debate,” she says. One aspect to study is the extent of institutional links between research institutes and arts organisations. Bull argues that, although artists and academics work together, there are rarely formal agreements in place between organisations. “Personal links are good but if you want sustainability you need institutional links,” she says. The council already funds collaborative research by academics working with archivists and museum and gallery staff. But there is less AHRC-funded research in the performing arts, partly because researchers and artists work towards different outputs and at different speeds. Much art is about the experience of the moment, whereas most research is about recording or analysing something after an event. Rylance said there was an increasing need for research to occur in real time. “This is an extraordinarily febrile, full-of-potential moment to define a new field,” he said, adding that he wanted the definition of research to become more “elastic” and that research itself must become “more and more flexible”. For this to work, traditional structures such as peer review may need to be reformed, according to Karen Cham, director of Digital Media Kingston, a cross-faculty studio producing research and art at Kingston University. “The clue is in the title: you’re either in the peer group or not. But innovation is never part of the peer group; you’re always on the periphery.” Rylance sympathises with Cham’s view: “Peer review tends to be conservative rather than adventurous, so we’re looking at that.” Elizabeth Lomas, a research fellow at Northumbria University, has a £42,000 grant from the AHRC to consider broadly how arts and cultural organisations define and value R&D. There is no definition of R&D within the arts and humanities that has equivalent status to that in the Frascati Manual, which was adopted by the OECD in 1962. The definition in the manual splits R&D into pure, applied and experimental work. “The question for the arts is whether we conceptualise research like that too,” says Lomas. Her project will be completed in 2016.

It will investigate the interpersonal links between the three main actor groups of these contracts: the scribes, the two contracting parties and the witnesses. The first actors, i.e. the scribes, have been studied before and we saw them connected through family ties, revealing the profession of a contract scribe as a hereditary office associated with the Egyptian temples. In the second century BC two operational notaries were attested in Thebes: the notary of Amunrasonther and that of the prophets of Djeme. But what about the period before that? Can we retrace these notaries through network analysis or are we confronted with an organisation entirely different from the one in the following century? The contracting parties have always received a lot of attention from papyrologists as well, as they were often the protagonists of important archives. However, the third group of actors, the witnesses, have more or less been neglected so far. I will try to provide an answer to the crucial question of how these witnesses were chosen. Were they connected to the notarial and scribal offices, or can they be linked to one or both parties as family and/or acquaintances perhaps? Or were they chosen randomly, passers-by simply picked from the streets when needed? The online platform Trismegistos, which includes almost half a million attestations of individuals in Greek and Egyptian texts between 800 BC and AD 800, serves as a starting point for this research. Thanks to the interlock structure of the text and reference databases, a two-mode people-in-texts network can easily be extracted and converted into one-mode people-to-people networks of the contracting parties, the scribes and the witnesses. Firstly, before we can start interpreting these networks, we need to make sure that we have correctly identified the various actors appearing in our network. The visualisation of the data has proven to be a very useful new step in this process. Where before we were looking at the actors' fathers and the characteristics of the relevant texts, we now take the position of an actor in the – albeit preliminary – network into account as an extra factor to obtain a faster and more advanced identification. Secondly, subjecting these networks to social network analysis will contribute to our understanding of the relationships and interactions between witnesses, scribes and contracting parties as well as the functioning of the ancient notaries, not only in Thebes but in the whole of Ptolemaic Egypt. *The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.* For more information please see the seminar website at http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2014.html -- --------------------------------- Dr. Stuart Dunn Lecturer Centre for e-Research, Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London, WC2B 5RL Email: stuart.dunn@kcl.ac.uk Tel. +44 (0)20 7848 2709 Fax. +44 (0)20 7848 2980 Blog: http://stuartdunn.wordpress.com --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2014 16:14:51 +0100 (BST) From: Mark Newman Subject: Call for Submissions: International Conference on Information Society (i-Society 2014)!

Is it possible to "know" something per se, "as it is", or only its behaviour in our relation? (i.e. how it appears, how it strikes our senses, how it affects them). The system is a more advanced kind of model to represent reality in a dynamic way, but in any case knowledge can only be a representation of reality in our minds.

Its purpose is to support curation of born-digital materials through the application of open-source digital forensics tools by institutions responsible for such materials. The BitCurator project (2011-2014), funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has developed, packaged and documented open-source digital forensics tools to allow libraries, archives and museums (LAMs) to extract digital materials from removable media in ways that reflect the metadata and ensure the integrity of the materials, allowing users to make sense of materials and understand their context, and preventing inadvertent disclosure of sensitive data. The BitCurator project has also engaged with interested professionals, through conferences, specialized events, online interactions, and site visits. Together, these tools and relationships provide a strong foundation upon which the BitCurator Consortium now builds. The Software The BitCurator software is freely distributed under an open source license. It can be installed as a Linux environment; run as a virtual machine on top of most contemporary operating systems; or run as individual software tools, packages, support scripts, and documentation. Tools in the BitCurator environment – both those produced by the project team and those from third-party developers – can advance core curation activities, including (but not limited to): - Reduce the risk of inadvertent changes to content through software-based write-blocking - Create authentic copies of content through disk imaging and cryptographic hashing - Mount forensically packaged disk images to view and export their content - Reflect original order of materials through capture of filesystem metadata - Establish trustworthy chains of custody through documentation of curatorial actions (log files, PREMIS records) - Generate reports that characterize the contents of disks and directories - Identify and document duplicate files - Discover and expose associated contextual information - Identify sensitive information that should be filtered, redacted or masked in appropriate ways - Export contents of disks and directories for inclusion in Archival Information Packages and Dissemination Information Packages Consortium Membership Institutions responsible for the curation of born-digital materials – especially those held or acquired on digital storage media – are invited to participate in the BitCurator Consortium. Membership is open to institutions in all sectors and all nations. The BCC envisions a robust network of institutions committed to enhancing, promoting, and exploring this growing area of activity. There are two categories of BCC membership: Charter and General. Charter Members will play an early, active role in the shaping of the BitCurator Consortium’s governance, ongoing development, and overall sustainability. Charter Membership is a one-time membership option, available only through December 31, 2014. The most important member benefit is assurance that the BitCurator software will persist and evolve in future years. Other membership benefits include: General Members: - Access to a BCC help desk - Prioritization in future enhancement requests - Dedicated educational offerings - Voting rights - Eligibility to serve on the BCC Executive Council and Committees - Service opportunities - Community engagement and networking - Professional development and training - Subscription to a dedicated BCC member mailing list - Special rates for BCC events, including the annual BitCurator User Forum Charter Members - all General Member benefits and: - Opportunity to participate in and shape the initial BitCurator Consortium Executive Council and BitCurator Consortium Committees, including exclusive eligibility for election or appointment to the Executive Council during the charter period - Participation in the development of the initial BitCurator Consortium user, technical and service roadmaps. - Recognition through the placement of your institution name, logo and link on the BitCurator Consortium web site. - Use of the "BitCurator Consortium Charter Member" icon During the Charter period (June-December 2014), members can take advantage of the following rates (subject to potential changes in the future): Dues for Charter Members in the first year are $5000 (US). After the first year of membership, dues will be the same as those of General Members. General Member dues are $2000 (US) per institution per year, for a three-year period with annual billing opportunities. Members can pay in full for their three-year period during their first six months of membership to lock in the above rates. - If you’re interested in joining the BitCurator Consortium, contact Cal Lee - callee {at} ils [dot] unc {dot} edu - For information about the BitCurator Consortium, visit: http://www.bitcurator.net/bitcurator-consortium - For information about the BitCurator software and user community, visit: bitcurator.net and wiki.bitcurator.net The BCC is administered by the Educopia Institute, a non-profit that advances cultural, scientific, and scholarly institutions by catalyzing networks and collaborative communities. -- Matthew Kirschenbaum Associate Professor of English Associate Director, Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) University of Maryland 301-405-8505 or 301-314-7111 (fax) http://mkirschenbaum.net and @mkirschenbaum on Twitter Track Changes tumblr: http://trackchangesbook.tumblr.com/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 4553D64E9; Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:06:48 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6DC5864D4; Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:06:38 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B9AE064A5; Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:06:36 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140713160636.B9AE064A5@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2014 18:06:36 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.198 events: natural computing; critical GIS; social networks X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 198.

Best, Luke Bergmann Assistant Professor Department of Geography University of Washington --------------------- Revisiting Critical GIS The rapid development and dissemination of digital geospatial technologies, datasets, and practices raise questions about how various arguments of 'critical GIS' remain as relevant as ever, require rejuvenation, or have run their course. Drawing in part on such developments, but also on enthusiasm for the digital humanities and on new materialist and even speculative realist currents of thought within social and cultural theory, the prospects for a renewed engagement between critical human and quantitative geographies appears more hopeful today than they have for some time (Barnes 2009). This forum provides a venue within which participants can think through these and other issues collaboratively, emerging with fresh ideas and perspectives to bring to research and teaching. To this end, the 2+ day format will blend pre-planned and collaboratively organized sessions. Four sessions have been organized around broad themes that touch upon recent discussions in the cognate literatures. Each participant will be associated with one of these planned sessions and will co-organize its content and format with others. Additionally, there are three periods scheduled for collaboratively formed sessions (collective or break-out) that emerge from the discussions at the conference. The event will be held from later on Friday, October 17th to the morning of Monday, October 20th at the University of Washington?s Friday Harbor Laboratories on San Juan Island . Day 0 (Friday) Afternoon / evening arrivals, welcome event Dinner Note: Ferry/flight schedules tend to be such that one needs to arrive at this time in order to be present for the critical first sessions in the morning. Day 1 (Saturday) Breakfast Session 1: Getting to know one another: who we are, why we?re here, and what we want to do Session 2: The story so far: critical GIS, GIScience, and 'not only... but also' Lunch Session 3: Hybrids: Critical Quantification and Digital Humanities Session 4: Collaborative session I (Collective or break-out) Dinner Collaboration and creativity Day 2 (Sunday) Breakfast Session 5: Corporatization of spatial information and our response Session 6: What tools? What theory? Lunch Session 7: Collaborative session II (Collective or break-out) Session 8: Collaborative session III (Collective or break-out) Dinner Collaboration and creativity Day 3 (Monday) Breakfast Session 9: Concluding Session: Paths Forward Departure Given the nature of this event, the number of participants will be limited to fewer than thirty, with a firm aim towards inclusivity (including, but not limited to academic seniority; students, early career faculty, and #alt-ac are strongly encouraged to participate). Would-be participants should submit a short prospectus (300 word maximum). The prospectus should address what the participant hopes to do at the gathering and muse about what s/he hopes might emerge in the time beyond--a forward-looking aspirational piece, rather than a description of previous works. Prospectuses are due August 1, 2014 and successful applicants will be informed by September 1, 2014. Please submit your prospectus via email to revisitingcritgis@gmail.com. The cost of attendance is estimated to be approximately $345 for faculty and $225 for students, meals and shared accommodations included. Confirmation of costs will be provided at time of acceptance. Limited support may be available to assist graduate student attendance. Please apply and we will try to make a solution work.

The ERIH database operated by NSD is called ERIH PLUS. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Bergen, 9 July 2014 We are happy to announce that ERIH PLUS is now ready to receive submissions for the inclusion of journals. ERIH PLUS is a new reference index for scientific journals in the humanities and social sciences. Our goal is to enhance the global visibility of high-quality research in the humanities and social sciences across Europe and to facilitate access to research journals published in all European languages. The ERIH PLUS index encompasses the original ERIH lists, which initially only covered humanities disciplines. The new reference index is called ERIH PLUS, in order to indicate that the list has been extended to also include social science disciplines. To be included, a scientific journal must meet the benchmark standards described at https://dbh.nsd.uib.no/publiseringskanaler/erihplus/about/criteria_for_inclusion To submit new journals for inclusion in ERIH PLUS, please go to https://dbh.nsd.uib.no/publiseringskanaler/erihplus/login _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id A75AD65BC; Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:09:19 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D07346578; Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:09:12 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 32BDD643A; Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:09:11 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140715140911.32BDD643A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 16:09:11 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.200 toward a better curriculum?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 12:21:51 +0200 From: Tara Andrews Subject: Questions toward a better DH curriculum Dear Humanist, I write to pick your collective brains a little on the subject of digital humanities curriculum. I am in the process of setting up a teaching program in DH at the university of Bern, catering to a mix of undergraduates, masters' students, and Ph.D. candidates. At the moment they all come from various departments in the humanities, but I hope to attract some computer scientists in the near future as well. As yet there is no degree program, and my mission is to serve students throughout the humanities more or less equally - classes should hold relevance for musicologists and art historians just as they do for philologists and linguists. After a year of trying things out with mixed results, I have two questions for those who have taught, or those who have thought about teaching, general courses on digital humanities: 1) What do you expect the students to have learned, and how do you assess it? I'm equally interested in answers for theory-based and practice-based courses, though the latter strike me as more of a practical problem - how good can I expect a student to get, over the course of a term, in a skill like XML or Javascript? And if I shy away from teaching actual programming, what should I expect them to be good at after 12 weeks of experimentation with tools like Neatline, Oxygen, Gephi, or what have you? 2) Formalisation and modelling in the humanities is turning into something of a hobby horse of mine - I think this is possibly the most important thing that DH could teach, and ideally I would like to devote an entire class to it. I have a couple of nebulous ideas of my own, but I ask here for good old brainstorming help - if you have taught, or would teach, such a class, what would you teach and what toolkits (if any) would you use? And, just because I sometimes like stirring up a hornet's nest, I'll impose an additional constraint - what would you teach *apart from XML/TEI*? Many thanks in advance for answers, advice, experience, etc.!

We welcome submissions on anything that plausible stays within the intersection of DH and CS. In the past some of the most interesting presentations have come from graduate students, and we like to think of the Colloquium as particularly hospitable to their contributions. Topics of special interest to both the TEI and DHCS conferences this year include research projects that make use of the distinct digital "affordances" created by the Hathi Trust, the Hathi Trust Research Center, and the TEI-encoded texts created by the Text Creation Partnership(TCP) from book on Early English Books Online (EEBO). A submission for a paper of poster should include an abstract of ~750 words and a minimal bio. Send it to martinmueller@northwestern.edu by August 1 and preferably earlier.

In-Reply-To: <20140715140911.32BDD643A@digitalhumanities.org> Dear List, After years of testing the waters at undergraduate and postgraduate levels teaching DH - there's a first iteration distillation in our new BA program at University College Cork http://www.ucc.ie/en/ck118/ working with colleagues in Computer Science. This first iteration will see students on September 8th this year. We are since in conversation with colleagues in Geography, and History and perhaps in the future the Law faculty too, as ideally a Law strand on IP not just in terms of texts but in terms of students' innovation may be necessary if colleagues were agreed. We are hopeful that this work will be formative and generative across the college, and the university. Assessment - usually an open portfolio of work equivalent to 4,000 words (in a traditional essay form). Online engagement and contribution is encouraged - innovation in terms of the type of digital artefacts produced is welcome, so network analysis, interactive documentary, database, website or animation are all welcome. (No Java yet ...) Best of luck with the endeavour!

In-Reply-To: <20140715140911.32BDD643A@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Tara, I am interested in finding out answers to exactly the same questions you pose. What else *must* you teach in a humanities concentration/minor/major other than TEI (and do we take TEI as a given)? I got silence in return so far... I had looked at different programs-how they are set up. Have a google doc to share if you are interested. Ideally it would be great to set up an uber-mooc like system where experts who happen to be good teachers teach a specific topic for those who want to specialize in certain tools, because no single institution can accommodate it all. Then we circle back and ask the same question, " yes but what are the essentials you would want a student new to DH get out of it?".

LeBlanc, Ph.D. Meneely Professor of Computer Science Wheaton College, Norton, MA 02766 508.286.3970 http://cs.wheatoncollege.edu/mleblanc --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2014 11:17:32 -0700 From: Willard McCarty Subject: essential topics In-Reply-To: <20140715140911.32BDD643A@digitalhumanities.org> In answer to Tara's question about a curriculum, I'd suggest looking beyond available technologies to the cognitive struggle between actual or conceivable tools and techniques on the one hand and on the other our objects of study in whatever media we find them. In regards to text-analytics, for example, I would place TEI way down the line, to be considered as a special case after the fundamental problems of marking up a text to any standard were encountered and discussed. That encounter having shown that for interpretative questions markup fails in significant ways, I'd move to other approaches, such as basic concordancing, and from that to statistical analytics of a simple kind. All the while I'd be orbiting the massive question of interpretation: what happens when a scholar interprets a text and so on. In my view we dwell far too much on the kit at hand, on training people in the skills of using this or that invention. No wonder many think our scholarly relation to the humanities dubious. We never get around to problems recognizable as belonging to the interpretative disciplines because we are always working to provide the means to interpret as it has been presented to us. We train others to use the tools made to fit scholarly practice as closely as possible. These tools then having delivered the raw material for scholarship, it then happens elsewhere by other means. Alternatively one could begin with experiments in programming with Python, Perl, R etc, as others have suggested, building some very simple, basic tools to approximate models of scholarly interpretation. Trying them out would immediately run into the hermeneutical question: is this how we as scholars understand a text, a painting, a musical performance, a dance and so on? Ultimately I think it would be a matter of indifference whether you approached the subject by the former path, using off-the-shelf tools, or by the latter one -- as long as you kept the focus on the cognitive struggle. But I would in any case be setting digital analytics alongside unassisted reading/viewing/listening/moving and looking for the differences.

How do we apply to Latin sources technologies and algorithms which have been developed for the linguistic study of modern languages? Clotho is a resource which aims to address these questions in an Open-Source format, providing network analysis, data extraction mechanisms, and document statistics. Using these tools, Lasciva Roma, a project of cultural network analysis around the lexical field of terms related to sexuality, was launched in 2014. This seminar will explore and review this project, focusing on how the community can use these tools, and how to ensure the tools and the data will not be lost.

With the rise of DIY and maker culture and the acceptance of research in tangible, embodied and embedded interaction, the TEI conference has gained substantial visibility and activity over the past decade. It brings together research disciplines, including tangible computing, physical computing, speculative design, IT product design, appliance design, whole body interaction, gestural interaction, embodied interaction, responsive architecture, and responsive and interactive environments and spaces. Application areas are diverse, including: public art and performance; games; learning; planning; automotive, fashion, furniture, and architectural design; music and sound creation; as well as productivity and creativity tools in domains ranging from scientific exploration to non-linear narrative. TEI brings together researchers, practitioners, businesses, artists, designers and students in this emerging field, providing a meeting ground for diverse communities of research and practice including computing software, hardware, mechatronics, camera vision and sensor technology; human computer interaction; interaction, interface and experience design; computer supported collaborative work and learning; product, industrial and architectural design; and interactive art and performance. We invite submissions from all of these perspectives: theoretical, conceptual, technical, applied, or artistic. The conference is designed to provide appropriate presentation forms for different types of contributions. Accepted submissions of all types will be included in the ACM digital library proceedings. Suggested Topics Authors are invited to submit high-quality work detailing original research that contributes to advancing this rapidly developing field. Appropriate topics include but are not limited to: -- Conceptual explorations -- Case studies and evaluations of field deployments -- Analysis of key challenges and proposals of research agendas -- Programming paradigms and tools, toolkits, software architectures -- Design guidelines, methods, and processes -- Novel interfaces, applications, or innovative systems -- Theoretical foundations, frameworks, and concepts -- Philosophical, ethical & social implications -- Learning from the role of physicality in everyday environments -- Embodied interaction, movement, and choreography of interaction -- Organic user interfaces: flexible, non-flat or actuated display interfaces -- Role of physicality in human perception, cognition and experience -- Teaching experiences, lessons learned, and best practices -- Standardization, production, and business applications [...] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5BE3D6239; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:52:39 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E43665EA9; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:52:28 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id EC9C16202; Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:52:26 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140718155226.EC9C16202@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 17:52:26 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.210 the silent response to digital hubris X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 210.

The ladder helps you to get at the book. Painting is also an art of ladders. You can think of the ladder as "merely" a tool. And so it is, but without it ceilings and high walls are left unpainted. Do ladders transform the art of painting? It depends on how you look at it. Crymble has a good point when he urges proud DHers to practice humility (always good advice). Humanities scholars are more likely to welcome digital tools as a versatile and skilled servant than as a new master. There are a lot of paradoxes here, and it may be useful for people to get off high horses of different kinds: the humanists off the high hermeneutical horse with its disdain for the empirical, quantitative, and anything that smacks of "lower" criticism, and the DHers off a triumphalist and transformative rhetoric (of which a very little goes a very long way).

Dienstag, 30. September bis Donnerstag, 2. Oktober 2014 Schloss Herrenhausen, Hannover Tagungsleitung: Andrea Albrecht, Toni Bernhart, Marcel Lepper, Sandra Richter, Marcus Willand Abstract Im Prinzip werden seit spätestens der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts quantifizierende Verfahren angewandt, um literarische Texte zu beschreiben, zu analysieren und zu interpretieren. Doch sind solche Ansätze – z.B. aus den informellen Gruppen um Wilhelm Fucks, Rul Gunzenhäuser, Max Bense u.a.) – in der Literaturwissenschaft generell stark unterrepräsentiert, gewinnen aber im Zuge der Digital Humanities seit geraumer Zeit wieder deutlich an Bedeutung. Es ist Ziel der Tagung, die vielen separaten und diskontinuierlichen Versuche aus mehr als zwei Jahrhunderten theorie-, methoden- und fachgeschichtlich zu kontextualisieren, nach ihren Ergebnissen zu fragen, ihre Chancen und Grenzen auszuloten. Dies berührt zugleich in zentralen Punkten die aktuellen Debatten um die Digital Humanities, die in vielen ihrer Arbeitsbereiche quantitative und statistische Verfahren anwenden, ohne dabei explizit an vorausgegangene Theorie- und Modellbildungen anzuschließen. Das Anliegen der Tagung besteht darin, in einem methodisch klar umrissenen Bereich historisch und systematisch reflektierte Perspektiven für eine Quantitative Literaturwissenschaft zu entwickeln und ihr Potential in theoretischer und praktischer Hinsicht zu diskutieren.

Tagungskonzeption Die Idee, einem interpretativen close reading literarischer Texte ein deskriptiv und holistisch orientiertes distant reading gegenüberzustellen, ist so alt wie die Idee des close readings selbst. Doch trübt der zeitgenössische Arbeitsalltag und der routinisierte Umgang mit digitalen Medien den Blick auf die Geschichte quantitativer Ansätze, denn Zählen ist keinesfalls erst durch die ‚digitale Revolution‘ der Literaturwissenschaften denkbar geworden (Bernhart 2008, Bernhart 2009). Vielmehr wird schon seit mindestens hundertfünfzig Jahren das, was vom späten Dilthey als Gegenstand der verstehenden und qualitativ orientierten Geisteswissenschaften bestimmt wurde, zum ‚messbaren‘ Objekt erklärt: der Text als Artefakt. So sind nach gegenwärtigem Kenntnisstand die ersten sprachstatistischen Untersuchungen auf die erste Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts zu datieren, und zwar in einen länderübergreifenden Raum, der von England bis Italien reicht. Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts lässt sich dann sowohl in Russland (Grzybek / Kelih 2005) als auch Deutschland ein genuines Interesse an einem quantifizierenden Umgang mit Literatur beobachten. Das erste Frequenzwörterbuch des Deutschen erscheint 1898. Friedrich Wilhelm Kaeding, der Herausgeber, wurde von fast 1000 freiwilligen Helfern unterstützt, um die von ihm erfassten 11 Mio. Wörter zu systematisieren (Bernhart 2014). Im April 2013 verkündete Google Books, 30 Mio. Bücher gescannt zu haben (Darnton 2013); das hauseigene Textanalysetool (Ngram-Viewer) erlaubt es derzeit, 5,2 Mio. davon – also etwa 500 Mrd. Wörter – zu durchsuchen (Huffington Post, 17 Dezember 2010; Michel u.a. 2011). Mediale Veränderungen dieser Art ermöglichen nun also erstmals, Textmengen in einer Größenordnung quantitativ zu bearbeiten, die die Leseleistung eines Menschenlebens oder einer Forschergruppe bei weitem übersteigt. Geht man mit Schmitz davon aus, dass ein Mensch während seiner Lebenszeit etwa 5 Tsd. Bücher lesen kann (Schmitz 2006), wird deutlich, mit welch geringem Teil der vorhandenen Literatur er sich zufrieden geben muss; gerade wenn die steigenden Mengen der Buchproduktion berücksichtigt werden (vgl. Lepper 2014). Allein von 1740-1900 sind etwa 32 Tsd. Romane im englischsprachigen Raum publiziert worden (Pierazzo 2013). Die Württembergische Landesbibliothek nennt als Bestand 3,7 Millionen Bände Buchmaterial, 15420 Handschriften, 7087 Inkunabeln und 180439 Autographen. Es benötigte die Lebenszeit von über 7 Tsd. Wissenschaftlern, um diesen Bestand aufzuarbeiten. Vergleichsweise brauchte Google Books am 23.08.2013 genau 0,44 Sekunden, um in den bereits digitalisierten Beständen 7, 1 Mio. Treffer für das Suchwort „Lesen“ zu finden. Auf den ersten Blick scheint sich hier vor allem ein arbeitsökonomisches Argument zu finden, immerhin gehören nun Archiv- und Bibliotheksbesuche vermeintlich der Vergangenheit an. Tatsächlich erstreckt sich der durch die bereits stark verbreitete Textdigitalisierung ermöglichte Gewinn aber vor allem auf die Inhaltsebene. Denn mit der leichteren Erschließbarkeit der Textkorpora und der damit einhergehenden leichteren quantitativen Erweiterung des Analysebereichs wächst potentiell die Reichweite der deskriptiv und interpretativ möglichen Aussagen über die untersuchte Literatur. Gerade weil dieses zentrale Argument für die Einsetzung quantitativer Verfahren naheliegend ist, erscheint es umso frappierender, dass quantitative Forschung in den Literaturwissenschaften bislang ausschließlich insular stattfindet und einer Vielzahl zumeist unkoordinierter Methodiken folgt. Wir sehen eine Aufgabe der Tagung darin, diese im Einzelnen fruchtbaren Ansätze miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen und eine gemeinsame methodische Grundlage zu entwickeln. Auf diesem Wege können separierte, oftmals einem ad hoc-Ansatz verpflichtete Forscherinnen und Forscher in dem größeren Kontext einer organisierten Ausrichtung auf quantifizierende Fragestellungen hin zusammengeführt werden. Demgemäß ist das tatsächliche Novum quantitativer Ansätze nicht die Frage nach dem Was, sondern die Frage nach dem Wie, also nach der Methodik des Umgangs mit den textuellen Artefakten. Hier schließt die Tagung direkt an die zeitgenössischen Diskussionen über spezifisch literaturwissenschaftliches Arbeiten an, die unter dem Stichwort Praxeologie der Literaturwissenschaft verhandelt werden (u.a. Martus / Spoerhase 2009 (Replik: Willand 2011), Spoerhase 2010, Martus 2013, Albrecht / Danneberg / Kraemer / Spoerhase 2014). Hinzu kommt die durch diesen Ansatz erneut in den Blick zu nehmende wissenschaftshistorische Beobachtung, dass quantitative Verfahren in der Literaturwissenschaft stets unter erheblichem Legitimationsdruck standen. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es umso aufschlussreicher, auch die genuin quantitative Methodengeschichte für eine prinzipiell zeitgenössisch und prospektiv orientierte Tagung zu berücksichtigen. Es wird für diesen Zweck also eruiert werden müssen, welche literaturwissenschaftlichen Fragen in der Vergangenheit mithilfe quantitativer Verfahren privilegiert bearbeitet wurden (v.a. Fragen der Autorschaft von Texten und Fragen aus den Bereichen Stilistik, Metrik etc.) und welche bisher kaum in den Aufmerksamkeitsfokus rückten. Wie ändern sich diese Aufmerksamkeitslenkungen gegenwärtig im Zuge verstärkter Textdigitalisierungen? Weder die Quantitative Literaturwissenschaft noch die Digital Humanities sind ein rein philologisches Phänomen. Symptomatisch in diesem Zusammenhang ist die Beobachtung, dass sich – unter dem Programmbegriff Culturomics – gerade quantifizierende Verfahren dazu empfehlen, Artefakte in ihrer maximal möglichen kulturwissenschaftlichen Breite zu analysieren und zu interpretieren (Michel u.a. 2011). Zwar liegt der Schwerpunkt der Tagung auf den unterschiedlichen literaturwissenschaftlichen Philologien, als Erweiterung des theoretisch-methodischen Spektrums sind aber systematisch ergänzende und vergleichende Beiträge aus anderen geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen vorgesehen, allen voran aus der Linguistik, aber auch aus der Geographie und Soziologie. Insgesamt scheint uns eine spezifizierende Abgrenzung der Quantifizierenden Literaturwissenschaft von der unpräziseren Rede der Digital Humanities unumgänglich, gerade weil quantifizierende Ansätze bereits lange vor dem digital turn der Sozial- und Humanwissenschaften Anwendung fanden. Ein Schwerpunkt des angestrebten interdisziplinären Austauschs soll auf die Annäherung von Theorie und Praxis quantitativer Verfahren gelegt werden, insbesondere weil dieses Verhältnis in den einzelnen Disziplinen unterschiedlich konturiert ist. Die Differenzen lassen sich exemplarisch wie folgt beschreiben: Die Forschung im Bereich der Quantitativen Linguistik (etwa die Stilometrie) entsteht ebenso wie u.a. kartographische Verfahren aufgrund ihrer Erkenntnisziele von Beginn an in enger Nachbarschaft zu der theoretischen Diskussion der Vor- und Nachteile quantifizierender und digitaler Methoden. Von anderen in den disziplinären Verbund der Digital Humanities aufgenommenen Verfahren des literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichen Textumgangs, die aber eine lange nicht-digitale und nicht-quantifizierende Theorietradition haben, ist eine theoretische und methodische Neuorientierung zu erwarten, die sich sowohl an den nun ermöglichten eigenen Analysepraktiken als auch an den differenzierten theoretischen Argumenten der ‚von Geburt an‘ quantifizierend ausgerichteten born-digitals orientieren kann. Sowohl Narratologie (Dimpel 2013) als auch Gattungstheorie (Viehhauser 2013) wären als solche vergleichsweise späte Immigranten der Digital Humanities zu bezeichnen. Bei genauerer Betrachtung zeigt sich also, dass in der rezenten Fachgeschichte der Philologie durchaus wieder ein breites Feld an Forschungsarbeiten im Bereich der Quantitativen Literaturwissenschaft vertreten ist. Dennoch ist es bis heute kaum möglich, einen gemeinsamen Nenner dieser Forschung auszumachen. Dieses Desiderat erkannte bereits der Wissenschaftsrat und sprach 2012 folgende Empfehlung zur „Weiterentwicklung der wissenschaftlichen Informationsstrukturen in Deutschland bis 2020“ aus: „Zur verbesserten Integration von quantitativen und qualitativen Forschungsansätzen in den Sozial- und Verhaltenswissenschaften wird der DFG und dem BMBF empfohlen, sich abzustimmen und ein Programm auszuschreiben, das Modellprojekte in diesem Bereich fördert. Das Programm sollte sich an Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler richten. Gegenstand der Ausschreibung sollte einerseits die Bearbeitung einer fachwissenschaftlichen Fragestellung mittels einer Verbindung quantitativer und qualitativer Forschungsdaten und -methoden sein. Darüber hinaus sollten entsprechende Projekte andererseits auch zur Weiterentwicklung von Standards und Methoden für die Langzeitverfügbarmachung von qualitativen Forschungsdaten beitragen“ (S. 58). Die solch einer Forderung vorausgehende Mangelsituation eines methodischen Forschungskonsenses ist jedoch – so die tagungsleitende These – nicht im eigentlichen Sinne der Sache geschuldet, sondern bloß der für die heutige Wissenschaftstheorie insuffizienten Möglichkeiten der Sichtbarmachung forschungspraktischer Gemeinsamkeiten. Das Erfordernis einer Interaktion und Vermittlung entsprechender Forschungsansätze wird genau an diesem Punkt deutlich, findet aber im interdisziplinären Austausch, zumindest jenseits genuin technischer Angelegenheiten, schwerlich eine Basis in gemeinsamen Forschungsfragen oder Forschungsgegenständen. Demgegenüber scheint die jeweils disziplinspezifische Form der Modellierung eine diskursivierbare Schnittmenge unterschiedlicher Ansätze auf theoretischer und methodischer Ebene anzubieten. Sie vermittelt sowohl zwischen den Forschungspositionen selbst als auch zwischen ihren originellen Theorien und Praktiken: Während sich beispielsweise in den Literaturwissenschaften ein von der interpretativen Praxis völlig entfunktionalisierter Diskurs über die unterschiedlichen Autor-, Text-, Leser-, Kontext-Modelle (usw.) verhärtet hat, betont der Begriff „Modellierung“ nicht einseitig theoretische Aspekte. Er fungiert vielmehr als „eine Brücke von der Theorie zur Praxis, von der theoretischen zur empirischen Ebene, vom Logischen zum Sinnlichen“, wie der Modelltheoretiker Viktor Štoff bereits in den 1960er Jahren prononcierte (Štoff 1969 [1966]). Als Übertrag für die quantifizierende Perspektive und gleichsam als leitmotivische Bedingung für die Beiträge der geplanten Tagung ist auf diesem Wege die Prämisse eines theoriegeleiteten Umgangs mit Daten eingeführt. Denn die damit einhergehende Korrektiv-Funktion der Praxis in Form einer Anwendbarkeit theoretisch entworfener Modelle auf Daten funktioniert ebenso vice versa als Korrektur unsystematischen Umgangs mit Daten durch Theorie. Die interdisziplinäre Tagung mit Fokus auf literaturwissenschaftliche Forschung soll dergestalt als Plattform dieses Dialogs dienen und die Wissenschaftsfähigkeit der disziplinspezifischen Modellierungen auf den Prüfstand setzen. Dabei sollen – idealiter ausgerichtet auf die brisante Frage nach den Möglichkeiten einer interdisziplinären Standarisierung quantitativer Verfahren – in einem ersten Schritt quantitative Verfahrensmodelle gesichtet, Verfahrenskataloge erstellt und gegebenenfalls die Grundlagen für Empfehlungen von best-practice-Modellen als Antwort auf spezifische Fachfragen vorbereitet werden. *********************English version********************* Call for posters: Scientia quantitatis Quantitative criticism in systematic and historic Perspektive International conference of the research group ‚Quantitative Criticism‘ and the Stuttgart Research Centre for Text Studies in cooperation with the German Literature Archive Marbach, funded by the VolkswagenStiftung. Tuesday, 30th of September until Thursday, 2nd October 2014 Castle Herrenhausen, Hannover Organisation: Andrea Albrecht, Toni Bernhart, Marcel Lepper, Sandra Richter, Marcus Willand Abstract Since the middle of the 19th century, quantitative methods have been used in order to describe, analyse and interpret literary texts. Yet, approaches like these – e.g. from the informal networks around Wilhelm Fucks, Rul Gunzenhäuser, Max Bense et al. – are not well represented in literary criticism. It is only since the rise of Digital Humanities that quantitative approaches (related to the notion of ‚big data‘) have gained a certain relevance which is, of course, strongly contested by those colleagues who doubt the innovative character of Digital Humanities or make ethical claims against it. Reaching beyond current discussions, the conference wants to contextualise the in itself separate and discontinous quantitative attempts of the past and present in the histories of their fields as well as of related theories and methods. The conference asks for results of these approaches, taking into account their chances and limitations. As a consequence, also Digital Humanities will appear as another new step towards quantitative criticism which, like many of its forerunners, is disconnected from previous approaches. It is also but not only this gap which inspires the conference to explore the historical, theoretical and practical potential of quantitative methods in literary criticism.

This volume, edited by Daniel Apollon, Claire Bélisle, and Philippe Régnier, consists of nine chapters which explores the interweaving of traditional and digital textual scholarship. /Digital Critical Editions/ examines how transitioning from print to a digital milieu deeply affects how scholars deal with the work of editing critical texts. It explores how changing technology and evolving reader expectations leads to the development of specific editorial products, while threatening traditional forms of knowledge and methods of textual scholarship. /Digital Critical Editions/ provides digital editors, researchers, readers, and technological actors with insights for addressing disruptions that arise from the clash of traditional and digital cultures, while also offering a practical roadmap for processing traditional texts and collections with today's state-of-the-art editing and research techniques thus addressing readers' new emerging reading habits.

Too often, we view anything not in our immediate sphere as our “tool.” One of the key challenges for the Humanities (digital or otherwise) might be the hopeful realization that computing is not just a tool. It is a philosophy and a way of looking at the world through an information lens. In my teaching arts and humanities students (who are joined with a cross-listed CS set of students), I try to emphasize the vital importance of abstractions such as iteration, encapsulation, arithmetic, and memory--independent of technology. The tool, or technology, is a means to a deeper appreciation of the abstractions. Iteration, recursion, and branching are beautiful concepts that can help in enriching the arts and humanities. Having said this, we certainly could not do without the tool, or the technology. Also, while my efforts of guiding arts and humanities student beyond their limited tool characterizations, there are also most definitely complementary challenges of guiding the CS students to the essence of the arts and humanities. The pleasures of unbridled representation beyond standardization is one component of this essence. -p On Jul 18, 2014, at 10:52 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 210. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2014 18:36:02 +0000 > From: Martin Mueller > Subject: Re: 28.208 the silent response to digital hubris > In-Reply-To: <20140717140911.77EC43BF7@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Adam Crymble's thoughtful essay reminds me of Spitzweg's painting The > Bookworm (http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Bücherwurm), which shows a > reader on a ladder in his library.

It aims at updating them about the most recent developments in the fast developing area of big data, which covers a large spectrum of current exciting research, development and innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. All big data subareas will be displayed, namely: foundations, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big data will be identified through 4 keynote lectures and 24 six-hour courses, which will tackle the most lively and promising topics. The organizers believe outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. ADDRESSED TO: Graduate and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be differences in the course levels, specific knowledge background may be required for some of them. BigDat 2015 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. They will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators. REGIME: In addition to keynotes, 3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.

As you know, the journal moved from Brown University to Northeastern University last summer. Even though I'm a Ph.D. Candidate at Brown, I was able to stay on for a transitional year, but now it's time for the NEU students to take over. I'm very sad to leave DHQ, but I'm grateful for this wonderful opportunity and to Julia Flanders for her leadership and guidance over the last three years. My departure should not impact any of our ongoing submissions or reviews. Our two Assistant Managing Editors, Duyen Nguyen and Elizabeth Hopwood, will be taking on my responsibilities and will be available to you moving forward. You can contact them via the dhq@neu.edu email. It has been a pleasure working with each of you. I have learned so much from your excellent submissions and peer review feedback, and it has been a pleasure getting to know you through our email exchanges. My NEU email address will expire in a few weeks, but please feel free to contact me at either amy_johnson@brown.edu or amyjinjohnson@gmail.com. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

The Summer School also provided the participants with an insight into current research of Croatian, but also of other historical manuscripts in the region, and raised the participants' awareness of rich and technologically advanced research information sources. In the Proceedings seventeen delivered lectures are published togather with a student's essey supervised by a lecturer. The papers are divided into four thematic sections: cultural history, information organization, conservation and preservation, and collection management. I would like to remind you also on proceedings of our Summer school in the study of old books, which was previously published online on the address: http://www.unizd.hr/Portals/41/elektronicka_izdanja/Summer_school_in_the_study_of_old_books.pdf We will be sincerely grateful if you share this information to those who might be interested. We wish you pleasant summer holidays and hope to see you on some other summer schools or other occasions at Department of Information Sciences, University of Zadar, Croatia. We would also strongly appreciate any feedback on Proceedings. Best regards Mirna Willer and Marijana Tomić, editors -- *doc. dr. sc.

And the latter doesn't get you very far with grant applications. But if "I" as a "DHer" want to persuade "you" as a common garden variety humanist of the virtues of things digital, I will probably be more successful by telling you about the ways in which my stuff is useful to you than by dwelling on the transformative nature of my achievements. Making the case narrowly in terms that matter to "you" is better than making the case broadly in ways that make me look better. There is a poem by Rilke about the Apollo of Belvedere, which in its last line says to the reader: "Du musst dein Leben ändern." I have yet to meet a colleague in an English or History department who finds that an attractive imperative when it comes to things digital. Technology, however, does change people's lives in a lot of little and some big ways. The "lot of little" things may cumulatively matter more in the end.

Today, historical studies of literature, art, design, lifestyle and consumption as well as of the human sciences are exploring intensively, but frequently separately, on that talk of "science". Historians of science are exploring the interpenetration of discourse in the public sphere and expert communities. This pioneering interdisciplinary conference is therefore planned to bring together people who do not normally meet in the same space. Scholars from a range of disciplines will come together to explore how the complex interpretations of science affected the re-creation of what it was to be modern. Please see the website for more details: http://www.qmul.ac.uk/being-modern/ Submissions for four types of presentation and discussion are sought: 1. disciplinary panels of three x15 minute papers and discussion 2. cross-disciplinary panels of three x15 minute papers and discussion 3. Focus on research presentations of 5 minutes plus two minute discussion each will provide opportunities particularly for graduate students 4. Poster sessions Closing date 19 October 2014. Get in early - competition will be strong!

In fact there is no need to convince the common garden variety humanist that DH is useful or important. Digital technology, for better or worse, imposes itself in the (post)modern world, and even the common garden variety humanist -- I like the phrase -- knows that he cannot do without it. The point is, that that variety of humanist will want help from digital specialist, and the problem arises, what kind of digital humanities specialist may better help him. I maintain that the one well aware of the transformative nature of DH achivements is the only one really entitled. Note that the "praticone" may be a plain engineer. The DH specialist is somebody capable to explain to you that humanities in a digital environment is not what it used to be. I am the first to be sorry for that, but it is so, and the sooner the common garden humanist will learn, the better.

This is being conducted as part of my DiXiT Marie Curie fellowship secondment at King's College London with Elena Pierazzo. I'm asking humanities scholars, researchers, teachers and students to participate in an online survey about digital habits and use of digital scholarly editions. It will take about 15 minutes to complete. I really hope you can find the time to complete it. The data gathered will be very useful for my own research and for the wider field of digital scholarly editing. Here is a link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/TQ7LL9T If you are interested in circulating this survey please feel free to do so, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your participation! Kind regards.

This will be the first time in its 26-year history that the annual conference of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) has been held outside of Europe and North America. In their conference bags DH2014 Conference attendees were also given a special flyer designed by Western Sydney's own Rabbit Hole initiative, (http://www.hca.uws.edu.au/rabbithole/), attached here. Note also that the conference website has just gone live at http://www.dh2015.org. You may already be aware that the University of Western Sydney was recently ranked by the Times Higher Education Supplement among the top 100 universities under the age of 50. This ranking comes from work over many years to build strength in teaching and research, especially in disciplines with actual or potential connection to the communities among which the University is situated. As a result the institution is not only forward-looking but also presents several opportunities for digital humanities to develop in new directions. Inevitably an Australasian university looks on the world differently and develops different emphases as well as draws attention to the global reach of digital humanities. As may be obvious from the website, considerable effort is being put into making potential attendees aware of all that Australia has to offer the visitor, including natural sites of astonishing beauty, Aboriginal cultures continuous for the last 40-60,000 years and vibrant modern cities with numerous opportunities for day-trips. We strongly encourage attendees of DH2015 to allot as much time as possible to see a bit of these and will provide several suggestions for extra-academic travel. --- All the best, Jason Ensor Digital Humanities Research Group University of Western Sydney *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1406125621_2014-07-23_j.ensor@uws.edu.au_376.2.pdf _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 408EF6254; Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:22:42 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E0165623C; Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:22:32 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6FA6E61B1; Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:22:31 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140723172231.6FA6E61B1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2014 19:22:31 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.225 events many and various X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 225.

On the one hand, more and more texts are available electronically as, for example, in the collection Théâtre classique (http://www.theatre-classique.fr) for French drama, the complete works of Shakespeare (e.g. http://www.folgerdigitaltexts.org) and a collection of German dramas and libretti (http://www.textgrid.de/). On the other hand, we can now see the emergence of new methods and tools that allow us to gain and compute information like, for example, word frequency, speech length, configuration structures or topics automatically, also from large amounts of texts. Only rarely, results of computer-based text analysis find their way into literary history (except for some studies on authorship attribution as, for example, in the Molière/Corneille and the Shakespeare/Marlowe debate). The books of, for instance, Franco Moretti, Matthew Jockers and Matt Erlin/Lynne Tatlock may serve as evidence that this is now changing but they are restricted to prose and non-fictional texts. As questions of literary criticism and history are at the heart of literary studies and dramatic texts have genuine textual structures, our workshop aims at evaluating the possibilities of computer-based drama analysis for theses domains. What can be the use of the mostly quantitative data for questions such as quality, style, popularity, canonicity, genre, periods of literary history, and individual authorial periods of production? What kind of new questions, which new micro- or macronarratives are arising from these approaches? Where are the differences to prior non-computational approaches to quantitative aspects of drama (see e.g. the works of F.v.Cube/W. Reichert, Solomon Marcus, Manfred Pfister)? We invite contributions which mostly focus on historical and critical research on dramatic texts and libretti. We encourage interested researchers to provide also some information on the creation of their corpora, annotation of the texts, preprocessing, data mining and (semi-)automatic extraction of data from the text with the help of tools, scripts and algorithms. Please send proposals of 600-900 words in English or German together with the most relevant research titles (your own as well as others) and brief biographical details by 30 September 2014 to katrin.dennerlein@uni-wuerzburg.de The workshop will take place at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities.

This institute will explore the potential impact that Digital Pedagogy can have on student experience, with specific focus on the undergraduate level. This will include the following topics: * How can digital research methodologies be used to improve undergraduate engagement? * What are the best methods for teaching students digital skills so that they can participate in the creation of digital research? What has proven to be successful, * What political and ideological decisions do educators involved in digital scholarship need to make in order to benefit students, preparing them for work beyond the academy, and how can this influence the formation of canons that might help stabilize the field, and * How can faculty members shift from transmitting knowledge to facilitating projects, co-inquiring and co-learning with students in activity-centered projects.

It is now appropriate to begin the process of measuring the "success" of this pioneering epoch the era of technological advances. "Success" can come in many forms, and the very idea of it must be studied as carefully as the digital data itself. Introducing completely novel methods and strategies into research is disruptive and such results are seldom considered as positive aspects of innovation. Unlike codex reports of research that have closure with a final chapter and summary, digital material remains in a state of physical change as hardware and software introduces significant changes with each new version. Identification of users and the results of the efforts of the users need to be considered. In some cases, the authors are the primary users of their digital productions. One aspect that needs to be considered is the chronicle of how researchers other than the author/s can access the raw data and do analysis on their own, in addition to reading the results of the constructed procedures and conclusions presented by a project site. The complexity of analysis of so many different interrelated and interacting elements will require a team rather than being an activity of a single user.

We are also pleased to announce that Prof. Charlotte Roueché (King’s College London) will give the opening keynote of this year’s series on Tuesday 14 October at 18:00 *cum tempore* at the TOPOI Building in Dahlem. We would be grateful if you could forward this reminder to colleagues and students who may be interested. Please refer to the original CfP below for details or visit the website: http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/cfp . Best wishes, Matteo on behalf of the Organising Committee ========================================================== Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin 2014/15: Call for Papers ========================================================== We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the third series of the Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin [1]. This initiative, inspired by and connected to London’s Digital Classicist Work in Progress Seminar [2], is organised in association with the German Archaeological Institute and the Excellence Cluster TOPOI. It will run during the winter term of the academic year 2014/15. We invite submissions on any kind of research which employs digital methods, resources or technologies in an innovative way in order to enable a better or new understanding of the ancient world. We encourage contributions not only from Classics but also from the entire field of "Altertumswissenschaften", to include the ancient world at large, such as Egypt and the Near East. Themes may include digital editions, natural language processing, image processing and visualisation, linked data and the semantic web, open access, spatial and network analysis, serious gaming and any other digital or quantitative methods. We welcome seminar proposals addressing the application of these methods to individual projects, and particularly contributions which show how the digital component can facilitate the crossing of disciplinary boundaries and answering new research questions. Seminar content should be of interest both to classicists, ancient historians or archaeologists, as well as to information scientists and digital humanists, with an academic research agenda relevant to at least one of these fields. Anonymised abstracts [3] of **300-500 words max.** (bibliographic references excluded) should be uploaded by **midnight (CET) on 01 August 2014** using the special submission form [4]. Although we do accept abstracts written in English as well as in German, the presentations are expected to be delivered in English (when submitting the same proposal for consideration to multiple venues, please do let us know via the submission form). The acceptance rate for the first two seminar series was of 41% (2012/13) and 31% (2014/15). Seminars will run **fortnightly on Tuesday evenings (18:00-19:30)** from October 2014 until February 2015 and will be hosted by the Excellence Cluster TOPOI and the German Archaeological Institute, both located in Berlin-Dahlem. The full programme, including the venue of each seminar, will be finalised and announced in September. As with the previous series, the video recordings of the presentations will be published online and we endeavour to provide accommodation for the speakers and contribute towards their travel expenses. There are plans to publish papers selected from the first three series of the seminar as a special issue of the new open access publication from TOPOI [5]. [1] http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/ [2] http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/ [3] The anonymised abstract should have all author names, institutions and references to the authors work removed. This may lead to some references having to be replaced by “Reference to authors’ work”. The abstract title and author names with affiliations are entered into the submission system in separate fields.

Networks, Complexity, Archaeology, History, Physics: this event will bring specialists from these fields together to discuss discipline-specific challenges and how these can be addressed with computational techniques. The registration is £40 for those with financial support or waged, £20 for students and others with limited or no financial support. Travel bursaries are available for UK-based researchers. The Connected Past: archaeological challenges and complexity is a one and a half day multi-disciplinary meeting to explore how concepts and techniques from network- and complexity science can be used to study archaeological data. These challenges include the use of material data as proxy evidence for past human behaviour, questions about long-term processes of social change, and the fragmentary nature of archaeological data. We aim to bring together physical scientists and archaeologists in order to highlight the challenges posed by archaeological data and research questions, and explore collaborative ways of tackling them using perspectives drawn from network and complexity science.   The workshop is funded in part by an EPSRC NetworkPlus grant addressing one of Physics Grand Challenges: Emergence and Physics Far From Equilibrium so this meeting will explore ways that archaeological problems can be tackled from such a viewpoint. There is likely to be a small registration fee to cover local costs but some of the funding can and will be used to support travel by some UK based researchers.  We hope to see you all there! Organisers: Tim Evans (chair), Ray Rivers, Tom Brughmans, Anna Collar, Fiona Coward.

Greek documentary papyri provide a rich source for linguists who wish to study Ancient Greek as it was written in everyday texts, preserved directly from antiquity. The corpus is already in digital form, but it does not contain linguistic annotation that would help linguists find interesting structures and forms. This paper presents a preliminary phase of a project focused on annotating the fragmentary and manifold papyrus material using a Dependency Treebank model. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

The term SENTIRE comes from the Latin feel and it is root of words such as sentiment and sensation. SENTIRE aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the field of opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information on their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends Web mining, AI, Semantic Web, information retrieval and natural language processing. The workshop is going to be held in Shenzhen on 14th December 2014. For more information, please visit: http://sentic.net/sentire RATIONALE Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and, apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents, in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora, chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce, tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such challenging research problems and wide variety of practical applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very active research areas in the last decade. Our understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are still limited as natural language understanding techniques are still pretty weak. Most of current research in sentiment analysis, in fact, merely relies on machine learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite most of them being very effective, produce no human understandable results such that we know little about how and why output values are obtained. All such approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure of text, which is far from the way human mind processes natural language. Next-generation opinion mining systems should employ techniques capable to better grasp the conceptual rules that govern sentiment and the clues that can convey these concepts from realization to verbalization in the human mind. TOPICS SENTIRE aims to provide an international forum for researchers in the field of opinion mining and sentiment analysis to share information on their latest investigations in social information retrieval and their applications both in academic research areas and industrial sectors. The broader context of the workshop comprehends Web mining, AI, Semantic Web, information retrieval and natural language processing. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: • Sentiment identification & classification • Opinion and sentiment summarization & visualization • Explicit & latent semantic analysis for sentiment mining • Concept-level opinion and sentiment analysis • Sentic computing • Opinion and sentiment search & retrieval • Time evolving opinion & sentiment analysis • Semantic multidimensional scaling for sentiment analysis • Multidomain & cross-domain evaluation • Domain adaptation for sentiment classification • Multimodal sentiment analysis • Multimodal fusion for continuous interpretation of semantics • Multilingual sentiment analysis & re-use of knowledge bases • Knowledge base construction & integration with opinion analysis • Transfer learning of opinion & sentiment with knowledge bases • Sentiment corpora & annotation • Affective knowledge acquisition for sentiment analysis • Biologically inspired opinion mining • Sentiment topic detection & trend discovery • Big social data analysis • Social ranking • Social network analysis • Social media marketing • Comparative opinion analysis • Opinion spam detection TIMEFRAME • August 1st, 2014: Submission deadline • September 26th, 2014: Notification of acceptance • October 20th, 2014: Final manuscripts due • December 14th, 2014: Workshop date SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS Authors are required to follow IEEE Computer Society Press Proceedings Author Guidelines. The paper length is limited to 10 pages, including references, diagrams, and appendices, if any. Manuscripts are to be submitted through EasyChair. Each submitted paper will be evaluated by three PC members with respect to its novelty, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and experiments. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE ICDM proceedings. Selected, expanded versions of papers presented at the workshop will be invited to a forthcoming Special Issue of Cognitive Computation on opinion mining and sentiment analysis.

It is the only standard historical dictionary of Welsh and is broadly comparable in method and scope with the Oxford English Dictionary. GPC Online (www.geiriadur.ac.uk) allows the user to search for Welsh headwords, variant forms, and collocations, as well as synonymous words and phrases in the English definitions. The vocabulary is defined in Welsh with English synonyms, so GPC is not intended to be used as a translating dictionary. However, when the English definitions are searched, the results are ordered according to the relevance of the searched term in the definition, so as to give precedence to synonymous words. GPC Online is the culmination of a process dating back to the early 1920s when a reading programme was set up at the National Library of Wales by the University of Wales Board of Celtic Studies to read and collect citations from all published Welsh material prior to 1800 together with a large proportion of early Welsh manuscripts and later printed material. Editorial work began in 1948/9 and the Dictionary was published in 64-page fascicles from 1950 onwards. The first edition was completed in 2002. Since then, work has been ongoing to completely re-edit and comprehensively extend the very earliest sections dealing with A and B as well as adding entirely new vocabulary throughout the alphabet. It has been the intention for some time that the Dictionary should go online but it has been a long process as it was necessary to encode all the Dictionary data – around eight million words in all – in XML. From now on the Dictionary will be published online only, although the previously published volumes and parts are still available to purchase. Further details will be found on the GPC website: http://www.geiriadur.ac.uk/ www.geiriadur.ac.uk -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Contact: Andrew Hawke, Managing Editor (geiriadur@cymru.ac.uk) --Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru, Canolfan Uwchefrydiau Cymreig a Cheltaidd Prifysgol Cymru, Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru, Aberystwyth, SY23 3HH University of Wales Dictionary of the Welsh Language, University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh & Celtic Studies, National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, SY23 3HH, UK ff./tel. +44 (0)1970 639094 | ffacs/fax: +44 (0)1970 631039 | ach@aber.ac.uk | gwe/web: http://www.geiriadur.ac.uk Gair y Dydd (Trydar/Twitter): https://twitter.com/geiriadur | Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/geiriadur.prifysgolcymru Rhif Elusen Gofrestredig / Registered Charity No. 1146516 Nid yw'r neges hon o angenrheidrwydd yn adlewyrchu barn Prifysgol Cymru / This message does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University of Wales _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id B88D362D1; Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:29:16 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 372106296; Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:29:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0D7D06255; Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:29:06 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140725152907.0D7D06255@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:29:06 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.232 silent response to digital hubris X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 232.

This is nothing new. It's at least as old as my first year in graduate school, when strongly negative and dismissive reactions to Beowulf as an assigned reading demonstrated to me that many of my fellow students were not there to learn but to get tenured chairs in comfortable places. (Many were subsequently disappointed, including me.) I realise that the scarcity of academic jobs creates much anxiety, which I'd guess turns quickly into enthusiasm for whatever "next new thing" will get one a ride. But even so, if someone undertakes the years of training for any other reason than passion for the work, to be done whatever the conditions, including those distinctly hostile to scholarship, then I'd question his or her fitness for a job as teacher and scholar. Is that too harsh? Is there with respect to academic work a righteousness we can respect?

The pace of that change has created a gap between core social/cultural practices that depend on stable reading and writing environments and the new kinds of digital artefacts - electronic books being just one type of many - that must sustain those practices now and into the future. This gathering explores research foundations pertinent to understanding new practices and emerging media, specifically focusing on work in textual and extra-textual method, leading toward: * theorizing the transmission of culture in pre- and post-electronic media; * documenting the facets of how people experience information as readers and writers; * designing new kinds of interfaces and artifacts that afford new reading abilities; * conceptualizing the issues necessary to provide information to these new reading and communicative environments; * reflecting on interdisciplinary team research strategies pertinent to work in the area; * and much more. Presentations addressing these and other issues in relation to emerging and/or transforming (digital) infrastructures, in regional, national, and international contexts are welcome. We invite paper proposals that address these and other issues pertinent to research in the area.

The language of the Conference will be English. First set up in 2007 by the European Science Foundation Standing Committee for the Humanities,Cultural Literacy in Europe ran as an ESF-COST synergy 2009-2012 including international interdisciplinary workshops in four areas of LCS research – Cultural memory, Migration & Translation, Electronic textuality and Biopolitics, biosociality and the body. The initial two outcomes were an ESF-COST Science Policy Briefing ( http://www.esf.org/hosting-experts/scientific-review-groups/humanities-hum/publications.html - no 48), published in January 2013, and a volume,From Literature to Cultural Literacy(http://us.macmillan.com/fromliteraturetoculturalliteracy/NaomiSegal), coedited by Naomi Segal and Daniela Koleva, published by Palgrave Macmillan in July 2014. No longer restricted to studying manuscripts, printed books or other language based genres in a philological mode, LCS researchers are now concerned rather with four essential conceptual elements, using them to describe, analyse and evaluate what may broadly be called the symbolic dimension of humanity’s relationship with material reality: textuality, rhetoricity, fictionality, and historicity. These concepts both represent crucial structures and processes at work in cultural objects and at the same time offer key techniques for understanding them. Working often together or in comparative engagement, they indicate ways in which all knowledge, all social activity, can be read. ________________________________ The Steering Committee of the 2015 Conference invites proposals for individual papers and project presentations. *** Submission Topics *** Proposals should refer to one or more of the following areas: Current developments and issues in LCS research in any of the four fields: - Cultural memory; - Migration & Translation; - Digital textuality; - Biopolitics, biosociality and the body. - How LCS already relates to the social and cultural challenges of 21st-century Europe; - How LCS can continue to do so in the future.

I think the answer is yes. I look to not sources of righteousness but its function. In this I am guided by the analogy of the blind person orienting herself in space. I invite you and the readers of Humanist to make the leap to humanites computing via this excerpt from Alexandra Horowitz _On Looking: Eleven Walks with Expert Eyes_. So here I committed a cardinal walking-with-the-blind sin: I tried to guide her. I reached out, about to grab Gordon's arm to prevent this inevitable progress into the wall. Barely restraining myself, I managed to plainly offer, "Um, you're swerving to your left quite a bit. You've about a quarter of the sidewalk left before..." Gordon was unfazed. "If I go too far, I'll hit the building. But I know where I am." I couldn't be convinced. "... And now you're pretty close to hitting the side of the building..." She stopped and seemed to look at me steadily, then resumed walking. True to her word, she went ahead and banged right into the building with her cane. Gordon's cane tapped a quick pattern on the wall and sidewalk, a perfunctory petting of an unbeloved animal. Then she smoothly righted herself, turning just enough to take a path parallel to the building's line. Gordon had deliberately veered, I realized, in order to get a reference point. Out of the sea of the middle of the sidewalk, she headed for something tangible that could give her her bearings. I was at least in good company in my overweening desire to help her avoid bodily injury. People grab her all the time as she approaches buildings, Gordon said. But they, and I, were simply not seeing how _she_ was seeing the space. She was aiming to run into the building, not trying to avoid it. "It's not an obstacle at all, is it?" I asked. "It's something you're using to navigate the space." "Exactly." Gordon smiled, continuing on a perfectly parallel course. After proposing this analogy, I would answer your question about respect for righteousness with a reminder that as a collective enterprise research needs its blind and its naive guides: it's how the group can orient and reorient itself.

Its editors, Melissa Dalgleish (York University) and Daniel Powell (King's College London and University of Victoria), are especially interested in the changes to graduate education that are already taking place, or that should take place, in response to the proliferation of post-PhD pathways. The project's front page can be found here: http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/alt-ac/cluster/graduate-training-21st-century, while the longer introduction can be seen here: http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/alt-ac/pieces/building-alternative-academy. We are seeking contributors to our first cluster of essays, entitled "Beyond the Proto-Monograph: New Models for the Dissertation." This cluster seeks to explore how the prototypical graduate project in the humanities—the dissertation—is changing in the face of the digital turn, shifting job markets, and new visions for the academy. The call for papers can be found here: http://mediacommons.futureofthebook.org/alt-ac/pieces/call-papers-beyond-proto-monograph-new-models-dissertation We also welcome proposals or contributions on any aspect of graduate training, higher education reform, and post-degree careers, especially from current graduate students. We can be reached at gradtraining21c@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing what you have to say!

We examined a number of options, including open sourse software, but decided eventually to use an experienced contractor to develop the dictionary app for us, iLEX Digital Publishing of Copenhagen, who have a lot of experience in this field. They also supplied our editing system (iLEX) and performed the data conversion for us. We have been very pleased with the service we have received from them over the past three years. The web-app is written in Java and runs under Apache Tomcat. We host the application on a server here, where it uses a local database to furnish results to the Web clients. The client-side is browser-based, and uses XHTML and CSS with Javascript. It uses Ajax techniques to supply the data to the browser, and downloads the necessary fonts for the complex typography (especially in the etymologies) on the fly. It runs on most platforms, but doesn't run well at all on IE 8 and below, which is the latest version available under XP . It runs well on the most recent IE, and on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, etc. It works well on iOS, but less well on Android. Our intention is to commission Android and iOS apps when we have more experience of the Web-app. The database is quite large: around 8 million words of text in some 120,000 entries. We also supply jpeg images of the first edition pages of the dictionary, which use a lot of storage (around 15GB). The app was intended to offer fairly simple functionality in this first trial version, but even so it has proved surprisingly effective. Our dictionary is essentially a monolingual Welsh historical dictionary (like the OED), but it also has English synonyms or definitions of the senses and the collocations. Searches for Welsh words actually search all the headword forms, variant headwords, collocations, and cross-references. Those containing parentheses can be searched for all the possible expanded forms. The English search searches the synonyms and definitions, but prioritizes those words occurring alone or with a comma or semicolon following immediately, at the start of the list of synonyms (which are most likely to be directly synonymous with the Welsh), listing the matches in the order of the Welsh headwords. Then follow matches on any examples of the search term surrounded by punctuation, which again are likely to be synonymous, and finally any remaining matches are listed, again in the order of the Welsh entries. Wildcards can be used (* = any characters or no character; ? = any single character, + = one or more characters), which can be repeated, so "*ria?u*" would match "geiriadur". A colour highlight is used in the entry display to show what matches the search term (occasionally just a red dot, if there is nothing to highlight, such as a sense). There are some 60,000 cross-references in the data which are hyperlinked to headwords, collocations, variants, and particular senses (e.g. 2. (b)). Phrases can also be searched for, although the app actually searches for any occurrences of the individual words in any order, so this can return unexpected results, although it does find the phrase. In order to make it easier for the user, no distinction is made between upper- and lower-case and accented and unaccented letters, and numerals and punctuation (such as the apostrophe) are ignored. Any entries or cross-references that match are listed in the results, so that the user can select them. The results are presented in different weight type to distinguish between entries and cross-references, collocations, etc. The app can be passed a single parameter in the form: www.geiriadur.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html?geiriadur which runs the app and searches for the (Welsh) word "geiriadur" in one operation. Otherwise, when the app is called it displays a random entry, skipping cross-references. As a search is typed into the input box, the app shows matches on a letter-by-letter basis, including complete words (try typing "name of a Welsh air" slowly in the input box letter by letter to see the effect). A lot of work went into this feature to make it work properly and quickly on the various browsers. (It is this feature that stops it working properly on Android, I think). The app has been fine tuned to respond very quickly, and it is indeed very speedy, even with long entries (such as "o1" or "llysiau"). Various other features include a small 'word wheel' when you move the mouse over the headword, which shows the immediately surrounding words, which are often related, together with next and previous buttons, and a back button which can be used repeatedly to backtrack through the user's actions. The page images which are summoned by clicking "first edition" should contain the corresponding entry, but there are also next and last buttons in case it is a long entry over several pages. The page image can be dragged with the mouse and enlarged and reduced with the mouse scroll wheel. (This does not work on either Android or iOS, although long-pressing on the image gives options to save it, so that it can be examined separately.) Mouseovers are used to explain all abbreviations in the text (which is heavily abbreviated), to give fuller bibliographical details for the texts cited, and also to explain some of the UI buttons. The blocks of citations can be collapsed / hidden (and expanded / revealed again) individually or throughout the entry, which can give a better overall view of an extensive entry. There is a rudimentary 'help' facility with collapsible/expandable sections which is designed to help those (rare) users who still read help files! This could be improved substantially, I'm sure. The whole UI is bilingual, so users can choose which language to use (and this could be extended to include other languages in the future). The app logs usage data, recoding date, time, originating IP address, language and search term typed into the app, and which results were clicked on. We intend using an analysis of this data to prioritize certain words for revision (if old and not revised for a long time) or inclusion, if they are not found in the dictionary. BTW, if a search does not match anything, a fuzzy search is performed, and a number of suggestions offered to the user. The user thus never sees "not found", which I think is psychologically beneficial! We hope to develop an advanced search in due course, including the full text and specific sections, regular expression searches, etc., but the dictionary data requires further processing first, and we wish to see how the app is used before proceeding. If you are interested in discussing the design of the web-app, I suggest you contact Mr Jens Erlandsen, the Managing Director of iLEX Digital Publishing, who I am sure would be interested to hear from you (). His company also develops lexicographical apps for Android and iOS amongst others. I hope this is of some help.

Design and the digital humanities connect through critical making practices, centering on human experience and advancing the prevailing expectations of their respective disciplines. In keeping with the theme of merging form and content, the traditional printed journal will be expanded to include a corresponding online space for interactive and digital work. We invite dialogues on what defines scholarly works in regard to non-traditional forms of writing and disciplinary crossovers. For this issue, we encourage exploratory, creative works that incorporate evidence-based research through critical commentary, traditional analysis, audience responses or participant feedback. Proposals should include a 300-word written abstract and a brief outline to show the structure of your argument. A corresponding visual abstract is strongly encouraged. For digital work, please include a URL or screenshots.

Robinson (clrobins@kent.edu) by September 15, 2014 WORKSHOP POSTER SESSION: Playing Medieval--A Festive Video Game Workshop and Poster Session There will be two types of stations for this session. (1) One type will be a multi-lead station that will explore pedagogical possibilities of playing medievalist video games, and will be involving real-time playing of a selected medievalist videogame. Game Leaders are needed to help select a particular game in advance of the conference, to set-up several avatars to be ready for use by inexperienced gamer-scholars. Presenters should be prepared to play some of the game in advance of the conference (online) and to prepare a questionare for session attendees to complete. Proposals to be a Game Leader should include a list of possible games, levels of experience playing them, and research interests. (2) Individually run stations: each presentation will be conducted at a station that will entail both some sort of "poster" (a literal cardboard poster or a presentation that can be viewed on a laptop or hand-held device). Proposals are invited on either medievalist video games under analysis or medievalist video games under design. SESSION OF PAPERS: The Neomedieval Image Paper proposals are invited that explore digital iconographic imagery of the medieval, particularly the neomedieval. How does he content of such images represent the medieval? What makes it uniquely neomedieval? What are some typical, or more common, depictions? Are there distinctions between Iconology and Iconography in medievalism, in neomedievalism? What about the "authenticity" of such iconography? Explorations of genres, themes, motifs, and tropes are encouraged. Submit proposals or queries to: Carol L.

Tasks include archival management of historical survey materials in text and audio form, presentation of materials on the Web, and analysis of materials. All of these activities have strong digital components, so the successful candidate should have some experience and be comfortable with or be willing to learn about making Web sites, basic scripting for management of files and analysis of language data, and the use of common software for language study. The LAP RA will be expected to write a dissertation on some aspect of the LAP (e.g. field work, computing/GIS, complex systems, variationist analysis) under the direction of Professor Kretzschmar. The RA will be paid at the standard University of Georgia rate at the PhD level (currently $1728/month), plus tuition remission. Additional funding for summer hours may be available depending on grant funding. The RA is renewable annually for up to five years, given acceptable work performance at the LAP and progress towards degree. For the RA starting in mid-August 2015, the deadline for applications to the Graduate Program is December 1, 2014. Candidates must apply to and be accepted into the PhD program in English (or another relevant program) at the University of Georgia. Admissions are highly competitive; requirements for application and admission are available at http://www.english.uga.edu/grad/admission.html. Students with an MA and students direct from the BA will both be considered. Candidates should discuss their interest in the LAP RA in the Personal Statement section of the application. Final offer of the LAP RA will be made by Professor Kretzschmar, and this can take place only after admission into the PhD program has been granted. PhD candidates in English are required to take coursework before the comprehensive exam (generally 27 hours, nine courses, after the MA), and will then conduct research towards the dissertation. Programs of study are quite flexible in English so candidates can expect to follow their interests; however, the comprehensive exam will include at least one area of English literature as well as topics in English language and linguistics. Prospective applicants should get in touch with Professor Bill Kretzschmar (kretzsch@uga.edu) to answer any questions and to determine the suitability of the applicant as a candidate for the RA. There is no special application for the RA, except that candidates must inform Professor Kretzschmar of their interest and submit an application to the PhD program in English (or another relevant program). Complete information about the application process to the university and the English Department is available at http://www.english.uga.edu/grad/admission.html. Please note: the deadline for receipt of complete applications for the 2013-14 academic year is December 1, 2014. __________________________________________________ Bill Kretzschmar Harry and Jane Willson Professor in Humanities Dept of English, Park 317, Univ of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2014 17:28:00 +0200 From: Alexander Czmiel Subject: 3 open DH positions in Berlin Dear List, The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (BBAW) is looking for three Digital Humanities specialists.

The programme for this is as follows: Panel One 11.00am-12.30pm Matthew Jarron: Riddles of Form - D'Arcy Thompson through word and image Dina Aleshina: Influence of D'Arcy Thompson's "On Growth and Form" on British abstract painting of the St Ives School: The View from Russia Mark Donoghue: Turner, Deleuze and the Morphogenesis of the Scottish Landscape Panel Two 2.00-3.30pm Roger Wilson: 'Creating from the inside' - D'Arcy Thompson's influence on the art school curriculum Gemma Anderson: The Artist as Morphologist Followed by discussion To accompany the event, there will be an exhibition of prints in the conference venue (the Dalhousie Building) by Paul Harrison and Gavin Renwick, inspired by D'Arcy's microscope slides from his Bering Sea expeditions of 1896-7. The day rate for the conference (which also entitles you to attend other sessions that day including a keynote lecture by Professor Martin Kemp) is £70 (£40 for students). Alternately the full conference fee for all five days is £240 (£120 for students).

Papyri and linens that carry the spells and vignettes are distributed between different international institutions, but are associated with a much wider body of material culture that help to provide context for the spells. In our work the FRBRoo ontology is used to formalise the relationship between different works and manifestations, and interlinked with object descriptions in the CIDOC-CRM ontology. ALL WELCOME The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

Download PDF: http://bit.ly/1zQQa4k?? http://bit.ly/1zQQa4k? This special issue of Visible Language journal investigates critical making at the intersection of design and the digital humanities, which is a site for expanding the role(s) of divergent scholarly and creative work. Design and the digital humanities connect through critical making practices, centering on human experience and advancing the prevailing expectations of their respective disciplines. In keeping with the theme of merging form and content, the traditional printed journal will be expanded to include a corresponding online space for interactive and digital work. We invite dialogues on what defines scholarly works in regard to non-traditional forms of writing and disciplinary crossovers. For this issue, we encourage exploratory, creative works that incorporate evidence-based research through critical commentary, traditional analysis, audience responses or participant feedback. Proposals should include a 300-word written abstract and a brief outline to show the structure of your argument. A corresponding visual abstract is strongly encouraged. For digital work, please include a URL or screenshots.

SOL is indeed "a unique paradigm of digital scholarly collaboration", which should not remain unique. Or does it already have progeny we should know about? --WM] Chances are you've seen some version of this announcement already, but here's the official version: The Managing Editors of the Suda On Line are pleased to announce that a translation of the last of the >31,000 entries in the Suda was recently submitted to the SOL database and vetted. This means that the first English translation of the entire Suda lexicon (a vitally important source for Classical and Byzantine studies), as well as the first continuous commentary on the Suda’s contents in any language, is now searchable and browsable through our on-line database (http://www.stoa.org/sol). Conceived in 1998, the SOL was one of the first new projects that the late Ross Scaife brought under the aegis of the Stoa Consortium (www.stoa.org), and from the beginning we have benefited from the cooperation and support of the TLG and the Perseus Digital Library. After sixteen years, SOL remains, as it was when it began, a unique paradigm of digital scholarly collaboration, demonstrating the potential of new technical and editorial methods of organizing, evaluating and disseminating scholarship. To see a brief history of the project, go to http://www.stoa.org/sol/history.shtml, and for further background see Anne Mahoney’s article in Digital Humanities Quarterly (http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/003/1/000025/000025.html). The SOL has already proved to be a catalyst for new scholarship on the Suda, including the identification – as possible, probable, or certain – of many hundreds more of the Suda’s quotations than previously recognised. To see a list of these identifications, with links to the Suda entries in question, please visit http://www.stoa.org/sol/TLG.shtml. Although all the entries are translated, our work is not done. One of the principles of SOL is that there will never be any limit to the improvement that the contents of our database can undergo. From here on our editors will be scrutinizing every entry for opportunities to introduce improvements to the translations, additions to the annotations, updates to the associated bibliography, and so on. We also invite the participation of qualified scholars who can contribute their expertise toward the betterment of SOL. If you are interested in working on the project, please visit our home page and follow the appropriate link to submit an on-line application to be registered as an editor. If you are already registered as an editor for SOL, and want to get back to work on it after a long layoff, feel free to contact the Managing Editors if you need help getting started (sudatores@lsv.uky.edu). Also, those who have registered before as translators or guests may submit a request to the Managing Editors to have their status changed to that of editor.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2014 19:19:38 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: digital and material Peter N Miller, in "How Objects Speak", Chronicle of Higher Education for 11 August, writes that, > The digital, far from killing the material world, seems only to have > intensified our attachment to it. Is that as odd as might first seem? I question the implicit causality in "to have intensified"; I wonder whether it would be better, more accurate, to say that the digital has arisen simultaneously with our intensified attachment to the material. "Digital", from the fingers (digits) of our hands, evokes touch and manipulation etymologically. But those here who stress the centrality of making computational things rather than just using them will see or feel a connection with ourselves as homo faber. Those in the physical sciences speak of "Fingerspitzengefühl" to name the intuitive sense that comes from manipulation of laboratory equipment. In any case the article is worth reading in its entirely. Seehttp://chronicle.com/article/How-Objects-Speak/148177/?cid=cr&utm_source=cr&utm_medium=en for it. Comments?

We wish to gather early stage researchers (Ph.D. candidates and post-docs) from all disciplines in order to drive forward the discussion on topics in the field of Internet research. The colloquium provides a stage for new perspectives on current issues of Internet and society. == BERLIN EARLY STAGE RESEARCHERS COLLOQUIUM 2014 == Early stage researchers (Ph.D. candidates and post-docs) from all disciplines are invited to push ahead with the discussion revolving around Internet research. Conference: 09 October 2014 in Berlin EXTENDED Submission Deadline: 17 August 2014: Online submission via: http://colloquium.hiig. de/index.php/esrc/esrc2014/schedConf/cfp ************************************************************************* TOPICS 2014 This year’s colloquium will consist of two thematically focused tracks. We cordially invite you to submit your research projects on one of the following two topics: *1. PAY PER PIXEL* In the near future, we will be paying for movies according to the size of the screen that it is displayed on, as stated by Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation. Whether that will actually happen remains to be seen, however it is clear that business models are changing rapidly due to the digital switch and correspondingly changing user expectations and behaviours. In the ESRC we will talk about how audiovisual media (e.g. film, animation, games, television etc) can cope with these dynamic circumstances. In specific on how new business models occur that adjust to the changing viewing behavior of users. What implications does this have on copyright legislation and on data protection as well as on the norms and regulations that emerge outside the legal realm? We regard this theme from a multidisciplinary perspective, and welcome contributions from the area of media studies, law, social sciences and economics. During the session, academics and people working in the field will participate in the discussion and provide a practical angle. » MORE *2. PRIVATE INFORMATION – OPEN DEBATES* Privacy debates in the age of the Internet are prominent focal points of all the challenges arising from increased network connection, new data generation and collection techniques and conflicting cultural values. In the ESRC, we want to explore the governance of privacy works on a global scale. What are the global governance challenges of privacy? How is privacy understood and perceived in different fora and what does that mean for governing privacy? We welcome perspectives from all disciplines and from theoretical and empirical backgrounds to contribute to our debate on governance and privacy. During the session there will be very brief five-minute inputs by the authors of the papers and ample of room for discussion and the generation of new ideas. » MORE *************************************************************************** PARTICIPANT GUIDELINES You can apply for two types of participation at the colloquium: *1. Paper presentation* Please feel invited to submit theoretical, practical or experimental research work. We kindly ask you to follow these submission guidelines: # An abstract outlining the relevance of the topic, the research method and questions. Max. 300 words/1800 characters with spaces (possibly printed in the programme) # A short paper providing more detailed information about your research. 2 to max. 8 pages; File type: PDF # Short CV. Max. 2 pages; File type: PDF *2. Participation only* Please state, why you would like to join the discussion and briefly describe your research or working background: # A short statement outlining your personal motivation, your connection to the topic and your working background. Max. 300 words/1800 characters with spaces (possibly printed in the programme) # Optional: Articles or papers that may underline your motivation or tell us more about your background. More documents possible. Possible file types: PDF, PNG or JPG # Optional: Short CV. Max. 2 pages; File type: PDF *The submission process closes on 1 August 2014. Please note that you need to register in order to submit a proposal.* ************************************************************************* SIDE EVENT Alongside the Colloquium a thematically focused meeting on Internet Governance will take place on 09 and 10 October 2014, approaching governance in the dimensions of actors, technology and content and including a panel discussion on "Multi stakeholder approach: Legitimate self-regulation or simply lobbyism". We warmly invite you to join us and our guests during these two days to gain insight into this key issue within the I&S research community. ************************************************************************ More information on the event can be found online on www.colloquium.hiig.de.

We've got some news that might make the fall even more fun. The Wellcome Library http://wellcomelibrary.org/ , an MHL principal contributor, announced in March of 2014 a project designed in partnership with Jisc http://www.jisc.ac.uk/ and Research Libraries UK and now with support from the Higher Education Funding Council for England http://www.hefce.ac.uk/ that will digitize over 30,000 nineteenth century rare books to form the core of a UK Medical Heritage Library (UK MHL). MHL and UK MHL content will be copied and shared across the two repositories, extending and deepening MHL resources. This week, Wellcome Library and Jisc announced its nine collaborators in the ambitious digitization project: UCL (University College London), the University of Leeds, the University of Glasgow, the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, King's College London, and the University of Bristol along with the libraries of the Royal College of Physicians of London, the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, and the Royal College of Surgeons of England. These libraries join the 22 MHL collaborators from the United States, Canada, and the UK to create an international digital library collaboration comprised of some of the most renowned medical special collections in the world. The nineteenth century content selected from the new collaborators both supplements and complements existing MHL holdings (see more below). The MHL is proud to be associated with the library leaders and organizations (this includes you!) who are working to make research resources more accessible and useful to the global scholarly community. The new content will be available as it is deposited. See the MHL full text and metadata-only search interfaces at http://www.medicalheritage.org/search/. Remember, our full text search box is easily embeddable on any HTML-web page (http://www.medicalheritage.org/developmhl/, scroll to bottom). Please let me know if you have questions. Sincerely, Hanna Clutterbuck-Cook ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Processing Assistant, Center for the History of Medicine and Project Coordinator, Medical Heritage Library (http://www.medicalheritage.org/) 617-432-2666 >From the Wellcome Library press release, courtesy of Holly Story and Simon Chaplin: Approximately 15 million pages of printed books and pamphlets from all ten partners will be digitised over a period of two years and will be made freely available to researchers and the public under an open licence. By pooling their collections the partners will create a comprehensive online library. The content will be available on multiple platforms to broaden access, including the Internet Archive [in the Medical Heritage Library collection], the Wellcome Library http://wellcomelibrary.org/ , and Jisc Historic Books. The project's focus is on books and pamphlets from the 19th century that are on the subject of medicine or its related disciplines. This will include works relating to the medical sciences, consumer health, sport and fitness, as well as different kinds of medical practice, from phrenology to hydrotherapy. Works on food and nutrition will also feature: around 1400 cookery books from the University of Leeds are among those lined up for digitisation. They, along with works from the other partner institutions, will be transported to the Wellcome Library in London where a team from the Internet Archive will undertake the digitisation work. The project will build on the success of the US-based Medical Heritage Library consortium, of which the Wellcome Library is a part, which has already digitised over 50 000 books and pamphlets. Simon Chaplin, Head of the Wellcome Library, said: "We are pleased that these nine institutions have chosen to add their valuable collections to the Medical Heritage Library. As well as our partners Jisc and Research Libraries UK, we will be working closely with our Academic Advisory Group to produce an online resource that is both a repository for a superb wealth of content and an effective research tool for a broad range of users." Peter Findlay, digital portfolio manager, Jisc, said: "We are delighted that the Wellcome Library team has been able to identify such valuable collections, which will be digitised to a high standard, freed from the confines of their original format and made openly available for teaching, learning and research. By working closely with the partner institutions to build the UK Medical Heritage Library, we are converting books into searchable data so that users can explore every aspect of 19th-century medicine and develop new insights into this period of unprecedented medical discovery."

The workshop will be held on Sunday, September 21th, 2014 at BGU. Israel’s centralized health system is a treasure trove for medical informatics studies. Since most clinical notes are in Hebrew, taking advantage of this potential rich knowledge source requires specific techniques, and tools. The same tools can also help medical researchers tap the deluge of Hebrew health consumer texts available online in medical QA sites and forums. Both cases require Natural Language Processing methods for the practice of medical informatics or Data Science in Medical Hebrew. In this workshop, we will review medical informatics methods combining NLP and dive in two use cases dealing with Hebrew medical texts. The workshop will include hands-on practice with the Medical Hebrew NLP software pipeline recently developed at Ben-Gurion University. More adventurous participants are invited to remain for a hackathon over night, where the tools will be put in practice to develop practical software tools manipulating and mining Hebrew medical text.

Thanks to all of you who have submitted. Since we did not send around a reminder email to the list that the original deadline was approaching, we have extended the submission deadline until August 15. Please consider submitting, if you have not already done so. The theme for this year is "Computing the Big Picture," and we are very fortunate to have Prof. Jennifer Light as our keynote speaker. An excerpt of the CFP is posted below, and the full text may be found at http://www.sigcis.org/workshop14. Best, Jason ---------------------- COMPUTING THE BIG PICTURE: SITUATING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IN BROADER HISTORICAL NARRATIVES SIGCIS Workshop 2014. November 9, 2014, Dearborn, Michigan Keynote Speaker: Jennifer S. Light, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Submission Deadline Extended: August 15, 2014 The Special Interest Group for Computers, Information and Society (SIGCIS - http://www.sigcis.org) welcomes submissions for our annual one-day scholarly workshop to be held on Sunday, November 9 2014 in Dearborn, Michigan. This is immediately after the end of the regular annual meeting of our parent organization, the Society for the History of Technology, details of which are available from http://www.historyoftechnology.org/features/annual_meeting/. Questions about the workshop should be addressed to Andrew Russell (Stevens Institute of Technology), who is serving as chair of the workshop organizing committee. Email arussell@stevens.edu. WORKSHOP THEME: When the history of computing began to emerge as a scholarly field forty years ago its first practitioners and consumers were computing pioneers, who favored technical accounts focused on the first electronic computers. Since then the field has developed in many directions, attracting scholars trained in a variety of historical traditions and working on a broad range of topics, time periods, and geographical settings. Work on the history of computing is increasingly influenced by methods and questions from broader fields and, in turn, is influencing scholars in other communities. This undermines the traditional, hardware centered, master narrative of computing and challenges us to integrate computing into a variety of broader historical stories. As a result, scholars working in or near the history of computing face some big questions: * What is the place of "the history of computing in the history of technology," 26 years on from Michael Mahoney's classic article on that question? * How can traditional historical narratives in areas such as gender studies, economic history, or environmental history be challenged by taking seriously the role of information technology? Conversely, what might these narratives bring to deepen our understanding of information technology itself? * Can historical questions and methods help to provide a coherent framework for new interdisciplinary areas such as software studies, Internet studies, and information studies? * What does today's history of computing literature have to offer to computer scientists and other audiences without specialist historical training? * How can we take seriously the complexities and unique features of computing technology while still producing work that transcends technical detail to tell stories and advance arguments of scholarly interest? We expect most submissions to focus on particular stories rather than on directly answering these weighty questions, but would appreciate it if presenters made an effort to connect their stories to broader narratives and in doing to provide a particular practical answer to one of the questions. SIGCIS has a tradition of welcoming all types of contributions related to the history of computing and information, whether or not there is an explicit connection with the annual theme. Our membership is international and interdisciplinary, and our members examine the history of information technologies and their place within society from a variety of scholarly perspectives including the history of technology, business history, labor history, social history, the history of science, science studies, communications, gender and sexuality studies, computing, and museum studies. SUBMISSION AND FURTHER DETAILS: Proposals for entire sessions and individual presenters are both welcome. We hope to run special sessions featuring dissertations in progress and other works in progress. The workshop is a great opportunity to get helpful feedback on your projects in a relaxed and supportive environment. All proposals will be subject to a peer review process based on abstracts. For information on submission formats and links to our online submission system please view the full call at http://www.sigcis.org/workshop14. As planning progresses we will post updates, the full program, and pre-circulated materials there. We will provide acceptance decisions by August 24. TRAVEL SUPPORT: The top financial priority of SIGCIS is the support of travel expenses for graduate students, visiting faculty without institutional travel support, and others who would be unable to attend the meeting without travel assistance. Awards are usually in the $200-$500 range and cannot cover the full cost of attending the meeting. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 10:40:42 +0100 From: Marten Düring Subject: --2nd Workshop on Computational History (HistoInformatics 2014)-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --2nd Workshop on Computational History (HistoInformatics 2014)-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Held in conjunction with the 6th International Conference on Social Informatics (SocInfo 2014), 10 November 2014, Barcelona, Spain http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2014/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------Paper submission deadline September 1, 2014--------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd International Workshop on Computational History (Histoinformatics 2014) aims at fostering the interaction between Computer Science and Historical Science. This interdisciplinary initiative is a response to the growing popularity of Digital Humanities and an increased tendency to apply computer techniques for supporting and facilitating research in Humanities. Nowadays, due to the increasing activities in digitizing and opening historical sources, the Science of History can greatly benefit from the advances of Computer and Information sciences which consist of processing, organizing and making sense of data and information. As such, new Computer Science techniques can be applied to verify and validate historical assumptions based on text reasoning, image interpretation or memory understanding. Our objective is to provide for the two different research communities a place to meet and exchange ideas and to facilitate discussion. We hope the workshop will result in a survey of current problems and potential solutions, with particular focus on exploring opportunities for collaboration and interaction of researchers working on various subareas within Computer Science and History Sciences. The main topics of the workshop are that of supporting historical research and analysis through the application of Computer Science theories or technologies, analyzing and making use of historical texts, recreating past course of actions, analyzing collective memories, visualizing historical data, providing efficient access to large wealth of accumulated historical knowledge and so on. The detailed topics of expected paper submissions are (but not limited to): - Natural language processing and text analytics applied to historical documents - Analysis of longitudinal document collections - Search and retrieval in document archives and historical collections, associative search - Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources - Named entity recognition and disabmiguation - Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical references in text - Finding analogical entities over time - Computational linguistics for old texts - Analysis of language change over time - Digitizing and archiving - Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time - Automatic multimedia document dating - Applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques to History - Simulating and recreating the past, social relations, motivations, figurations - Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data - Automatic biography generation - Mining Wikipedia for historical data - OCR and transcription old texts - Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical data collections - Studies on collective memory - Studying and modeling forgetting and remembering processes - Estimating credibility of historical findings - Probing the limits of Histoinformatics - Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science Full paper submissions are limited to 10 pages, while short paper submissions should be less than 5 pages. Submissions should be sent in English in PDF via the submission website. They should be formatted according to Springer LNCS paper formatting guidelines. They must be original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions will be evaluated by at least three different reviewers who come from Computer Science and History Science backgrounds. The accepted papers will be published by Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2014 06:38:28 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: on pedagogy The Chronicle of Higher Education for 14 August features an article which argues that making subjects less cognitively accessible is better than the accessibility which current educational doctrine preaches. Steve Kolowich, in "Confuse Students to Help Them Learn", uses the example of a physics teacher who by trying out clear versus ambiguous presentations discovered that "if you just present the correct information, five things happen.... One, students think they know it. Two, they don't pay their utmost attention. Three, they don't recognize that what was presented differs from what they were already thinking. Four, they don't learn a thing. And five, perhaps most troublingly, they get more confident in the ideas they were thinking before." In other words, > Confusion is a powerful force in education. It can send students > reeling toward boredom and complacency. But being confused can also > prompt students to work through impasses and arrive at a more nuanced > understanding of the world. When I was told this by my undergraduate advisor, also a physicist, I suspected that he was making excuses for poor teaching. And perhaps he was. But many years later, sick at heart from exposure to doctrines of accessibility, customer-service approaches to education, rights to resit examinations and so on, I am far less inclined to think my advisor could only have been wrong. I am told by an early medieval intellectual historian I know of strong evidence that an educational technique of glossators then was deliberately to make their interpretations obscure in order to force an enlightening struggle to understand. What they had to transmit required a cognitive transformation in the reader. Isn't that an ideal still of the humanities, despite current doctrine? I'd like to think that Kolowich's argument provides a glimmer of hope that a turn-around is beginning. In any case, it seems to me that the confrontation with computational reasoning at the cross-roads denoted by "digital humanities" provides us with an opportunity to help this turn-around happen. It seems to me that pushing forward with initiatives to bring the *making*, not just the using, of computational objects into the humanities is more and more the way to go. Consider these two books published 18 years apart: (1) Ian Lancashire, John Bradley et al, Using TACT with Electronic Texts, in 1996; and (2) Matthew L Jockers, Text Analysis with R for Students of Literature, in 2014. The former is a user-manual for a program that required a highly skilled professional programmer a long time to write; the latter instructs the reader in how to build text-analytic tools. Much has changed in those 18 years. But considering both (1) and (2) as exemplifying approaches to digital humanities, isn't it obvious which is educationally more powerful, more effective -- because more challenging intellectually? Yet to this day we are still largely attempting to hide the difficulties. For Kolowich's article see http://chronicle.com/article/Confuse-Students-to-Help-Them/148385/?cid=wc&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en.

I wonder how something like Galileo's Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems fits with this view of pedagogy. Another example is the video Misconceptions about Why Seasons Occur - http://sciencenetlinks.com/student-teacher-sheets/misconceptions-about-why-seasons-occur/ -- very amusing.

I am aware that many universities offer DH training through summer programs, intensive workshops or even as part of BA in Digital Humanities programs. But is there any university that teaches DH as part of a general curriculum? Or as a general education course available to all university students as a regular term course? Thank you.

I can assure you that applicants with backgrounds in humanities computing will be welcomed. Best wishes, Allen Riddell ---- The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College is pleased to announce the Neukom Fellows competition for positions starting September 1, 2015. Neukom Fellows are interdisciplinary positions for recent Ph.D.s, DMAs, or MFAs whose research interests or practice cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries, but has some computational component, whether it be a framing concept for intellectual exploration or an explicit component of the work that is pursued. The successful candidate should have a history of collaborative work across disciplines, but still show good evidence of independence and initiative. The Fellowships are two- to three-year appointments, with the third year extension considered upon request after a review early in the second year. Neukom Fellows will be mentored by faculty in two departments at Dartmouth College, take up residence in one department, and will teach one seminar course each year on a subject of their interest. Beyond that there are no additional duties. Neukom Fellow stipends are $60,000 for 2015-2016. Additional funds are available for equipment, travel, and research materials. Requirements: 1. Ph.D. in any discipline or DMA or MFA (or expected by September 2014). 2. Research interests that strongly intersect the theme of computation. 3. A proven ability to work independently and collaboratively 4. A demonstrated interest in multidisciplinary research. 5. Evidence of the ability to think outside traditional paradigms. Application Materials: Interested candidates are strongly encouraged to contact prospective mentors at Dartmouth College and must submit the following materials: 1) Curriculum vitae (including publications list). 2) Statement of research interests (max. 2 pages) including a short description of the research you would like to pursue and why. 3) Description of which departments (and even better, which Dartmouth faculty) you would be interested in working with and why the opportunity to engage with multiple departments would enhance your work. Applicants are strongly encouraged to seek out connections with and contact potential Dartmouth mentors as they draft their applications. 4) Three referees whose letters of recommendation speak to the aims of the Fellowship. 5) (Optional) A copy of one paper you have written in English, either published or unpublished. Completed applications received by November 15, 2014 will receive first consideration. Materials received after that date or those that do not fulfill the above requirements stand the chance of not being considered. General inquiries should be directed to the Neukom Institute Manager, Victoria Smith (Victoria.H.Smith@dartmouth.edu). Dartmouth is an equal opportunity/ affirmative action employer with a strong commitment to diversity. In that spirit, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of people, including women, persons of color, persons with disabilities, veterans or any other legally protected group. For a list of current Neukom Fellows: http://neukom.dartmouth.edu/programs/neukom_fellows_announced.html and also http://neukom.dartmouth.edu/programs/neukom_fellows_14.html Applications must be submitted here: https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/4286 For more information on The Neukom Institute: http://neukom.dartmouth.edu/ The Neukom Fellows Program and the Neukom Institute are made possible by a generous gift from Mr. William H.

Game/worlds like Second Life, OpenSim, Minecraft, and Cloud Party are providing spaces for the construction of alternatives and reimaginings, though frequently they end up more as reproductions. We seek to challenge those spaces and their creativities and imaginings. These worlds exist as both code and conduct. Code is a modulating multiple signifier, in that the interpreters of the code vary from human to machine and that our understanding of the signifier changes the worldliness in itself. The conduct of both participants and administrators of these spaces influences how they flourish and then fade. As such the worlds and their anima/animus are socially constructed fictions where authors/creators/users, both above and below the actions are sometimes in concert, yet often in conflict with the space and intentions of the originators. This book seeks critically engaged scholars who want to risk the possibility of change in the face of closed systems. We are looking for critical or speculative essays that must be theoretically, empirically and/or contextually grounded chapters of 5000-6500 words plus apparatus. Doctoral students and non-tenure faculty members will be afforded blind peer review upon request. We are aiming for 12 -14 chapters that define the boundaries and thus likely futures of research on virtual worlds.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 15:51:53 +0000 From: Ashley S Mowrey Subject: Dissertation participants Hello Dr. McCarty, My name is Ashley Mowrey, M.A. I am a doctoral candidate in the Clinical Forensic Psychology program at Alliant International University, California School of Forensic Studies in San Francisco. For my dissertation, I am investigating whether there are characteristics of art, specifically in paintings, that psychologists judge to be indicative or reflective of mental illness. This study will also explore whether psychologists of different theoretical orientations differ in their willingness to make such judgments, and whether there are differences among them in regard to which aesthetic characteristics of art are the most salient in making such judgments. I would like to ask for your assistance by forwarding this request to your members through your listserv. I am requesting participation from any independently licensed psychologist between the ages of 18 and 65 who understands written English, and who identifies as having a primarily cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, or humanistic theoretical orientation. Participation will be anonymous, and will be conducted entirely online. After reading and agreeing to informed consent, participants will be shown images of artwork from a number of painters, some of whom have a current or past diagnosis of severe mental illness (schizophrenia, major depression, or bipolar disorder), and some of whom have do not. They will be asked to view the images and to indicate, for each piece, whether they believe the artist is likely to have or to have had a severe mental illness, or if they are unwilling or unable to make a judgment. If they are willing to make a judgment, they will be given definitions and examples of the major aesthetic characteristics used to describe paintings, and then asked to indicate what characteristics of the painting contributed most strongly to their judgment. They will also be asked to fill out a brief questionnaire asking about their theoretical orientation, education, experience administering and scoring projective tests, and familiarity with art therapy interventions and techniques. (Please note that no such familiarity is required or expected.) Participation is expected to require between 30 minutes and one and one-half hours, depending on how familiar someone is with the language used to describe specific aesthetic characteristics of art and how common it is for them to view art from a psychological perspective. The study does not have to be completed in a single visit; participants may save their answers, exit, and return to the site at a later time as often as needed. There is no monetary or other compensation. If you wish to participate, please go to https://alliant.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_1Nu76PjaN2XqHvD to log on. If you have questions or with additional information, please feel free to contact me at amowrey@alliant.edu or 415-663-6214. You may also contact my faculty supervisor, Dr. Joanna Pashdag, at jpashdag@alliant.edu or 415-955-2037. Anyone with questions or concerns about the conduct of the research may contact the Alliant International University San Francisco Institutional Research Board at irb-sf@alliant.edu or 415-955-2151.

Papers approaching the problem of attribution through computation are welcome, as are papers which consider the theoretical or methodological basis of computational attribution in the context of the problems of eighteenth century literary culture. If you are interested in participating, please send a 250 word abstract and 1 pg. CV to Rob Koehler, rdk252[at]nyu[dot]edu by September 15, 2014. Conference: American Society for Eighteenth Century Studies Location: Los Angeles, CA Dates: March 19-21, 2015 Panel Title: Practices of Authorial Attribution in the Long Eighteenth Century Contact: Rob Koehler, rdk252@nyu.edu Deadline: September 15, 2014 Recent debates about the texts that should be attributed to figures such as Daniel Defoe and Eliza Haywood have drawn new attention to the difficulties of determining authorship for many texts published during the eighteenth century. These debates have highlighted concerns about what types of evidence can be considered definitive for scholars to accept attributions but set aside questions of how readers, writers, booksellers, politicians, artists, lawyers, divines, and printers of the eighteenth century developed, refined, challenged, or established practices of attribution in various media and domains of knowledge. As a means of reassessing current scholarly methods of attribution and of developing perspectives that offer new avenues for considering the process of attribution itself, this panel will consider the material, legal, formal, and theoretical underpinnings of practices of attribution in the long eighteenth century across domains of knowledge, including—but not limited to—literature, music, law, theology, politics, and natural philosophy. Papers investigating non-literary domains of knowledge are especially welcome, as are those that consider these questions from an international or cross-cultural perspective. Please send a 250 word abstract and 1 pg. CV to Rob Koehler, rdk252[at]nyu[dot]edu. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 279B46462; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:53:24 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EBD036458; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:53:23 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id DB8A26456; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:53:21 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140822075321.DB8A26456@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:53:21 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.276 Word Lab at Penn X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 276.

It aims to bring together researchers in the community to discuss ongoing projects and developments in all fields related to text analysis broadly, with a hope that it will have a strong digital humanities component. Because we're trying to reach as much of the regional community as possible, I thought I'd share this with Humanist in case anyone in the Philly region is interested in attending our kick-off event on Tuesday, September 9, or future meetings. They will be every 2 weeks, on Tuesdays from 1:30-3 pm. Please read more in the invite below. Regards, Molly C. Des Jardin, PhD Japanese Studies Librarian University of Pennsylvania http://www.mollydesjardin.com @mdesjardin --- You’re invited to the WORD LAB kick off event on Tuesday, September 9, from 1:30-3 in Vitale II (on the 6th floor of Van Pelt Library). This event gathers together colleagues from across the university who are interested in text analysis of all kinds, to learn about the WORD LAB research group starting in the fall. We’ll introduce ourselves and learn about each other’s research and study interests and ongoing projects. WORD LAB is a research group for scholars working on text analysis to discuss projects, share methods and findings, and to promote this kind of research at Penn. Though the research may be either independent or collaborative, scholars at WORD LAB will engage in exploring questions and solving problems together. The cohort is not limited to advanced scholars: it makes room for those new to the field who are interested in developing their research in text analysis from any number of disciplinary angles. Our agenda will emerge directly from the questions researchers in the cohort are encountering as they work. WORD LAB meets every other Tuesday, starting September 23, from 1:30-3pm in Vitale II, in Van Pelt Library. These meetings are a place for colleagues to share research progress, methodologies, questions, and new developments in text analysis, with at least one presentation per meeting. In addition to providing a venue for sharing research, WORD LAB will include open work time in the Vitale II lab on weeks with no meeting. If you are attending as a non-Penn affiliate, please bring photo ID to the library for entry. For more information, please contact Katie Rawson (krawson@pobox.upenn.edu) or Molly Des Jardin (mollydes@upenn.edu). WORD LAB is in its formative stages, so feedback of all kinds is welcome. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 87F1E646D; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:55:16 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4C6C06459; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:55:16 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4B1DE644A; Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:55:14 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140822075514.4B1DE644A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 09:55:14 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.277 pubs: LLC 29.3 (September 2014) X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 277.

In-Reply-To: <20140819051154.97A8D6246@digitalhumanities.org> The TaDiRAH taxonomy has started using TemaTres (http://tadirah.dariah.eu/vocab/index.php), though we haven't done a lot with it yet besides inputting the terms in English. We do intend to make TaDiRAH multilingual, so if you do end up using it, I'd love to stay in touch about what issues and workarounds you encounter. One of the frustrating things we've discovered is that there seems to be no way to create an "about" page, or any other content that's not treated as a term by the system. (There's an "about" box in the settings where you can put in some text, but it's clearly not designed for more than a couple sentences.)

According to Gartner big data is already on the downward slide into the Trough of Disillusionment (see the chart depicting this Cycle) -- which is to be cheered if we take dis-illusionment to mean the loss of an illusion, which of course it is. What's not to be greeted with uncritical cheer is the implication of the chart that hyped technologies move with varying speed from the Trough upward along the Slope of Enlightenment to the Plateau of Productivity. Which raises the question of how one would depict what actually happens: some things simply become part of the furniture of daily life, other things assume minor, qualified roles. The vertical axis on this chart as well as its singular path is problematic, I would think. Someone with a better visual imagination is required. Any takers here?

This workshop will address applications of “big data” in the humanities, arts, culture, and social science, the challenges and possibilities that such increased scale brings for scholarship in these areas. The use of computational methods in the humanities is growing rapidly, with the increasing quantities of born-digital primary sources (such as archives of emails and social media) and the large-scale digitisation programmes applied to libraries and archives. This has resulted in a range of experiments with new methodologies and new applications. At the same time, humanities and culture research is itself challenged by interpretative issues raised by applying such data-driven methods for answering humanities research questions. Moreover, the questions and concerns raised by the humanities themselves have consequences for the interpretation in general of “big data” and the uses to which it is put, and the challenges of producing quality – meaning, knowledge and value – from quantity. The workshop will thus also address complementary research that uses the humanities and its methods to provide a critical appraisal of “big data” in other areas, both inside and outside academia. Research topics covered: Topics covered by the workshop include, but are not restricted to, the following: * Text- and data-mining of historical and archival material. * Social media analysis, including sentiment analysis * New research objects for humanities analysis such as digital music, film * Cultural analytics * Social analytics * Crowd-sourcing and big data * Cyber-infrastructures for the humanities (for instance, cloud computing) * NoSQL databases and their applications in the humanities * Big data and the construction of memory and identity * Big data and archival practice * Corpora and collections of big data * Linked Data and Big Data * Constructing big data for research in the humanities Paper Submission: * Full-length papers are accepted through the online submission system. Full papers can be up to 9 pages in length, and should be submitted as a PDF formatted according to the IEEE Computer Society Proceedings Manuscript Formatting Guidelines. LaTex Formatting Macros. * We also encouraged submission of short papers (up to 4 pages) reporting work in progress. * All papers accepted for the workshop will be included in the Workshop Proceedings to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Important dates: * Due date for full workshop papers submission: Aug. 30, 2014 * Notification of paper acceptance to authors: Sep. 20, 2014 * Camera-ready of accepted papers: Oct. 5, 2014 * Workshop: Monday, October 27, 2014 Program Chairs: * Dr. Mark Hedges Department of Digital Humanities King’s College London, UK * Dr. Tobias Blanke Department of Digital Humanities King’s College London, UK * Prof. Richard Marciano College of Information Studies – “Maryland’s iSchool” University of Maryland, USA _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1657C63DB; Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:28:12 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5611163C9; Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:28:12 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0031263B4; Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:28:00 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140824072801.0031263B4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 24 Aug 2014 09:28:00 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.282 sketching the future: follow the money X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 282.

Amsler" Subject: Re: 28.279 sketching the future In-Reply-To: <20140823073719.6E95E6435@digitalhumanities.org> I'd submit the "money is the cause of all hype" hypothesis to explain what happens. A "new" technology is discovered. This is discovery in the sense of something that has already existed for some length of time, but just being discovered by the business community. Then, the hype happens. Business needs investors, so they need to promote their business so people will invest in it. They proclaim great future accomplishments and the threat of failing to get on the train before it leaves the station. If you're not working on your own plan to be involved in the new technology, you'll be left in the dust when the new technology takes over. As investors put money in to their own plans, the hype machine revs up. More hype under the "See, you're being left behind; these investors have already secured their stake in the race toward unlocking this new technology's benefits". Now, investors who know nothing about the new technology blindly pump money into their own programs, not to be left behind. The original practitioners of the new technology, who are somewhat amazed by the hype around their formerly quiet little area of work, are in high demand. But, even if they do caution that it's a long road to success, the investors don't want to hear it. They falsely believe that throwing money at the problems will lead to faster solutions. So, they coerce the original technologists to accept more money, head up new projects, start new companies. The belief that money will surmount the technical difficulties is paramount. Then, things slow down. Some projects fail to produce useful results in proportion to the investments. The business community proclaims the technology has gone bust. Dread sets in. How could we have been so deceived by this false technology. Collapse. Proclamations that the technology is faulty. It's important here to note that it was the investors who hyped the technology beyond the original technologist's research, who stated the inherently false promises of great success if only investments were made. The technologists often saw progress as just taking more time since it was based on the traditional practices of experimentation and innovation--not on the size of the projects or the amount of money they had available to burn through. The business community washes it's hands of the technology as a bad investment. They move on. But the technologists just continue with their research, albeit having to perhaps change the nomenclature to stay in their field of work. No, No, we're not doing THAT old stuff. This is new research. In truth it's just the continuation of the work they were doing before they were in the spotlight of the business community's interests in getting rich. Eventually, the field manages to climb out of the crater left from the business community's bomb explosion. You see, there really was new technology at play. It was solid. It just wasn't capable of taking place faster if you poured infinitely more money at it. We've seen this in multiple areas. Neural Nets, Artificial Intelligence, dot.com companies, etc. Rollercoasters are fun, but railroads get the work done. Rollercoaster do not mean travel by trains on tracks is poor technology; it's just that a rollercoaster isn't the best way to build a railroad. > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 279. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2014 08:22:49 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: sketching hype > > Thanks to Joris van Zundert I've just this morning come across Gartner > Inc's Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, for which see the Forbes > report for 18 August (URL below)*.

It works precisely by means of the knowledge-promoting > deficiency resulting from the transmission from one medium to another > that is characteristic for models. In the cited essay Canguilhem goes on: > Could not one say... that in biology the models which have > the chance of being the best are those which halt our latent tendency > to identify the organic with its model? A bad model, in the history > of science, is that which the imagination evaluates as a good one. > The imagination is inclined to believe that to construct a model is > to borrow a vocabulary and so obtain an identification of two > objects.

(p. 517, in Crombie, ed., Scientific change, 1963) This would seem to imply that to the extent they model and so shape rather than simply deliver our primary objects of study to us, digital resources need to be regarded with great caution, as models that eventually mislead. Pride of achievement in them would appear to be quite perilous. Comments?

Alternatively, if relative time would be on the horizontal axis, one could also depict the different time scales by giving each innovation its own adoption curve. That would allow the vertical axis to be used more in accordance with your suggestion too. In all this would however result in a rather crowded and (I estimate) difficult to read 3D chart. Quite frankly though, it was your comment that made me amend the graph for those differences cognitively. Sometimes a word is also worth a thousand animation frames?

It might be a Homeric simile even. Hypes do make money, like roller coasters do. It is just that like the roar and excitement a roller coaster makes, the money is often generated in side effect activities that seem to pertain little to the eventual purposeful application of an invention. An example that comes to mind is teaching on commercial basis the inards of a new technology to an audience that eventually will never use it—which I have seen happen with e.g. XML and Java. If your concern is hardly with the core purpose of the technology, you can make fine money piggybacking the hype. Next to that investors know that it is somewhat of a game, if you'll happen to invest in the right application you'll make money, if you happen to invest in the company that pitched the brand new shiny rail technology as a great way to deliver milkshakes around your attraction park by roller coaster, you may lose out. I wouldn't necessarily view this commercial circus as all bad. It's just one way to generate revenue and relevance from research. Admittedly the process can be trying for one that is interested in the core technology itself. But of course the downside is in the shattered promises that reflect poorly on the technology's true potential if any. If I may add tangent issues that have been observed many times I guess, but nevertheless we seem to fall victim to in every cycle of innovation: techno utopianism (say Clay Shirky), techno dystopianism (say Morozov), and–the worst of all in my view–techno evangelism. The latter is the effect that a large group of adopters of a certain technology tend to regard it as the one definite solution to all problems, falling victim to the golden hammer syndrom. Evangelism is often tied to personal investments, as it took valuable time to adopt the technology, and to the stake a community has in self sustaining. Where the former two can be said to be useful asymptotic road signs, I truly cannot see how techno evangelism is productive and creative.

First this from the great theoretical physicist Yakov Il'ich Frenkel, from a review article in Uspekhi Fizicheskikh Nauk (1946), quoted by I. E. Tamm, "Yakov Il'ich Frenkel", Soviet Physics Uspekhi 76.3-4 (1962): 183 (iopscience.iop.org): > "The more complicated the system considered, the more simplified must > its theoretical description be. One cannot demand that a theoretical > description of a complicated atom, and all the more of a molecule or > a crystal, have the same degree of accuracy as of the theory of the > simplest hydrogen atom. Incidentally, such a requirement is not only > impossible to fulfill, but also essentially useless. . . An exact > calculation of the constants characterizing the simplest physical > system has essential significance as a test on the correctness of the > basic principles of the theory. Once, however, it passes this test > brilliantly, there is no sense in subjecting it to further tests as > applied to more complicated systems. The most ideal theory cannot > pass such tests, owing to the practically unsurmountable mathematical > difficulties unavoidably encountered in applications to complicated > systems. In this case all that is demanded of the theory is a correct > interpretation of the general character of the quantities and laws > pertaining to such a system. The theoretical physicist is in this > respect like a cartoonist, who must depict the original not in all > details, like a photographic camera, but simplify and schematize it > in a way as to disclose and emphasize the most characteristic > features. Photographic accuracy can and should be required only of > the description of the simplest systems. A good theory of complicated > systems should represent only a good "caricature" of these systems, > exaggerating the properties that are most difficult, and purposely > ignoring all the remaining inessential properties." Second from Michael E. Fischer, "Scaling, universality and renormalization group theory", in J. F. W. Hahne, ed., Critical Phenomena (Springer Verlag, 1983): 47: > The modern attitude is... that the task of the theorist is to > understand what is going on and to elucidate which are the crucial > features of the problem.... So the crucial change of emphasis of the > last 20 or 30 years that distinguishes the new era from the old one is > that when we look at the theory... nowadays we inevitably talk about a > 'model'.... We should be prepared to look even at rather crude models, > and, in particular, to study the relations between different models. We > may well try to simplify the nature of a model to the point where it > represents a 'mere caricature' of reality. But notice that when one > looks at a good political cartoon one can recognise the various > characters even though the artist has portrayed them with but a few > strokes. Those well chosen strokes tell one all one really needs to know > about the individual, his expression, his intentions and his character. > So... a good theoretical model of a complex system should be like a good > caricature: it should emphasise those features which are most important > and should downplay the inessential details. Both are just good sense, I suppose, but I wonder if the parallel between theorizing and story-telling does not cut much deeper than that. Comments?

As a result, not only have traditional practices been perfected, also new concepts and forms—such as those of a “digital edition,” a “digital library,” and a “digital archive”—are now giving stimulus to new theories and critical approaches. In this session, we seek to promote discussion around how digital environments are changing our examination and representation of texts and the codices that contain them. We invite submissions that reflect on the achievements, challenges, and prospects of manuscript and textual studies in the digital medium, including, but not limited to: * manuscript representation technologies * theories of digital edition or the making of digital editions * corpora studies and computational approaches to manuscript studies * the goals of textual studies in a digital environment * examples of manuscript and textual studies carried out in online environments Please send a 100-word abstract and Participant Information Form to Albert Lloret at lloret@umass.edu by September 15.

This professorship should cover a broad spectrum of digital humanities in both research and teaching. This newly created position is part of Göttingen University’s institutional strategy to establish an eResearch Alliance (http://www.uni-goettingen.de/en/482513.html), which covers the entire Göttingen Research Campus (http://grc.uni-goettingen.de http://grc.uni-goettingen.de/ ). The new professor will work in close cooperation with the major stakeholders in this research and teaching alliance alongside the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, and, in particular, with the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Göttingen Computing Center (GWDG), the State and University Library (SUB), the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and the Herzog August Library Wolfenbüttel. Within this ecosystem, the professor is expected to take the lead in expanding research and teaching in Digital Humanities. The appointee will facilitate disciplinary and interdisciplinary research in the humanities, social sciences and computer sciences, while taking leadership of the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH). The position therefore requires management and leadership skills, particularly, experience in establishing and managing large collaborative and interdisciplinary teaching and research projects. Candidates are expected to have done outstanding research work in the digital humanities, demonstrate a strong commitment to excellent teaching and a successful track-record in the acquisition of third-party funded projects. At least two areas of the following fields of research should be covered: - Text mining of cultural studies-related data, - Web science, network analytics, - Digital editions, - Knowledge representation, - Data analysis and visualisation for the humanities. The successful applicant is expected to teach courses for the B.A. and M.A. programmes in "Computer Science plus a Humanities or Social Sciences Subject (Teacher Training and Non-teacher Training)" and for the M.A. priority programme "Digital Humanities” in computer science. The appointee will carry a teaching load of 9 weekly lecture hours, parts of which may expressly be held in alternative teaching formats, like blended learning and the organisation of workshops and summer school courses. Collaboration in the development of an M.A./Ph.D. programme in “Digital Humanities” is expected. All further requirements for professorial appointments are governed by Section 25 of the Higher Education Act of Lower Saxony (NHG) (Official Law Gazette of Lower Saxony, Nds. GVBl. 2007 p. 69). As a Public Law Foundation, Göttingen University holds the right of appointment. Further details can be provided upon request. For further information, please contact Professor Ramin Yahyapour, Center for Computational Sciences, applications@cs.uni-goettingen.de. We explicitly welcome applications from foreign scholars and researchers. The University of Göttingen strives to increase its proportion of female staff in fields where women are underrepresented and expressly encourages qualified women to apply. Severely disabled persons with the appropriate qualifications will be favoured. Under certain circumstances, part-time employment is possible. Electronic submission of applications with a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, an outline of the applicant's scientific career path including teaching experience and any planned research projects is requested by 29 October 2014 to the e-mail address: dekanat@math-cs.uni-goettingen.de. http://www.gcdh.de/en/people/job-opportunities/professorship-digital-humanities/ With best wishes, Ele Kraft Gabriele Kraft Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH) Papendiek 16 D-37073 Göttingen Tel: 0049 551 39 20476 Email: gkraft@gcdh.de _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D812963F0; Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:39:57 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8284163C4; Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:39:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CE81D63B4; Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:39:55 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140826053955.CE81D63B4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 07:39:55 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.290 events: Digital Design Weekend at the V&A X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 290.

The most recent outbreak, laid at the feet of Big Data, is to be found on the BBC News (Technology) website for 22 August in an article by Rory Cellan-Jones, "Can computers replace historians?" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-28895098), > All kinds of big claims have been made about the potential of Big > Data. It seems it can predict the course of an election, map the > spread of flu, even help police to solve crimes. > > But here is the biggest claim so far - crunching through the big data > of history can help us spot patterns and work out where the world is > heading next. > > That is what Kalev Leetaru, a data scientist at Washington's > Georgetown University, believes may be possible. Using a tool called > Google Big Query, designed for interrogating vast collections of > data, he has been sifting through a database of events stretching > back to 1979.... Recent experience suggests that this existential fear (the dark side of hype) cannot simply be attributed to those who know little to nothing about computers, as Stephen Parrish commented dismissively in the mid 1960s, but gnaws at our colleagues as well. Those who have studied automation and industrialization will know this to be a reaction much older than computing. But the "smart machine", about which Shoshana Zuboff wrote brilliantly in her 1988 book, stirs it up for us, now. It can get serious for us whenever a committee of colleagues makes a decision about this or that appointment or department in digital humanities. Dismissal clearly doesn't work, nor does more information, nor demonstration of utility, benefit etc. The technology gets better and better (in its own terms), with no end in sight. So how do we deal with the fear of a life's companion that takes command?

Dear Willard, This reminds me of an article by philosopher of computing Luciano Floridi: "A Defence of Informational Structural Realism." Synthese 161, no. 2 (March 1, 2008). It's, unsurprisingly, a defence of his conception of informational structural realism (not to be confused with pancomputationalism). In building his defence he points out the poverty of "naive structural realism", which relies ".on a conception of knowledge as a direct relation between model and modelled". I won't attempt to delve into the details (or arguments for and against) either structural realism or informational structural realism. I merely want to extend your point by suggesting our 'take' on the relationship between models and the knowledge modelled is deeply personal, and speaks to our orientation to fundamental issues in the philosophy of science and mathematics, and eventually phenomenology too. Digital humanists would do well to think the issue through and decide where they sit. If we do, I suspect we'd be better prepared for critiques of our practices like the one that came from Stanley Fish in "Mind Your P's and B's: The Digital Humanities and Interpretation." Opinionator. 23 Jan. 2012. In some ways he was claiming that digital humanists are all naive structural realists - something that is patently incorrect. Conversely, I suspect most digital humanists (and many - most? - scientists and mathematicians) would feel that models always underdetermine the object they're modelling, leaving plenty of room for interpretation and in fact demanding it. Perhaps there are DHers out there who do believe in the potential for a perfect fit between model and modelled; my point is more that, as with most things, if we know our stance on these things we'll be better positioned to argue our case when hoary old chestnuts are thrown our way.

This seems to have happened in 1971 for Takeshi Utsumi, when as General Chairman of the Summer Computer Simulation Conference, to be held in Boston MA, he wrote a message to attendees. In this message (URL below) he begins by quoting the first verse of the Gospel of John, "In the beginning was the Word..." He then explains the origin of the binary numbering system as a product of monotheism, and would appear to suggest that the opposition of the West to Communism, centre-stage at that time, is involved: 1 God in the West, 0 God in communist countries. He then goes on to the distinction between analogue and digital systems. The transition he explains by analogy to the education of a beginner in cooking, who cuts onions uncertainly and burns things.

For the whole message see http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Bookwriting/PART_I/Chapter_I/Total/Insertions/SCSC/71SCSC_Gen_Chrmn_msg.html. The sincerity I have no doubt is genuine. In the case of Jay Forrester and others involved with The Club of Rome, great technical expertise was added to concern for the world conceived as a system which could be simulated, its possible futures demonstrated and worked out. But what happens when such sincerity, empowered by a necessarily limited model of us all, gains political traction?

Applications are invited from those you would like to attend, or present a paper. The goal of the workshop is to demonstrate how the application of language technology has produced a new understanding of texts in different fields of Humanities. The proliferation of digital resources in the Humanities is leading to the elaboration of new methods, concepts, and theories by means of which researchers can query and interpret large-scale textual collections. The workshop will bring together researchers who already apply language technology, and those who would like to learn about the current state of art in this new and evolving area. The organizers invite researchers (especially early career scholars) who plan to apply language technology but do not already have the necessary skills and technical background. The second main goal of the workshop is to enhance exchange of experiences, disseminate know-how, and to explore potential future collaborations. /Keynote speaker/: Professor*Tony McEnery*(ESRC Centre for Corpus Approaches to Social Science http://cass.lancs.ac.uk/ , Lancaster University). Other speakers to be confirmed. If you would like to participate, you have until 3 September 2014 to apply for a place. Please complete this simple online form (http://bit.ly/explorehistory), where you are asked for some details and a short statement of the reasons for your interest in participating. Thanks to generous funding from NeDiMAH and CLARIN, participation will be free of charge, and funds will be available to reimburse travel and accommodation expenses for a number of participants. NeDiMAH is funded by the European Science Foundation (ESF). If you would like to submit a proposal to give a presentation at the workshop on your research results, please send it by email toexploringhistory@clarin.eu by 17:00 CET on Friday 3rd September 2014. Proposals for presentations should be 400-500 words in length. This is not essential for participation, and if you do not submit a presentation, you will still have a chance to give a short presentation of your work, or to ask questions. Proposals should focus on research results, not descriptions of projects, resources or methods. Please get in touch if you have any questions about the event. -- Martin Wynne IT Services, University of Oxford Oxford e-Research Centre Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics Director of User Involvement, CLARIN ERIC _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 877E5645F; Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:45:35 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5A0FD6456; Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:45:35 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 017BF6446; Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:45:33 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140827054534.017BF6446@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 07:45:33 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.295 graduate certificate in digital humanities X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 295.

Selected papers of the previous conferences were published in international journals (Philosophia, Foundations of Science, The Logic Journal of the IGPL). PROGRAM The conference will deal with the logical, epistemological, and cognitive aspects of modeling practices employed in science, technology, and cognitive science, including logical and computational models of such practices. We solicit papers that examine the role of abduction, visualization, simulation, and other aspects in model-based reasoning from philosophical, logical, epistemological, historical, sociological, psychological, or computational perspectives. The conference is also devoted to examine the impact of Model-Based Reasoning research in the enhancement of various kinds of human cognitive skills, mental, hybrid, manipulative, etc. RELEVANT RESEARCH AREAS We call for papers that cover topics pertaining to model-based reasoning in science and human cognition as presented in the following list: - general theoretical and cognitive issues - models as fictions, distortions, credible worlds - models and games of make-believe - ontology of models - affordances, artifacts, and model-based reasoning - brain, neuroscience, and model-based reasoning - abduction - logical analyses related to model-based reasoning - inferences, interaction and duality in logic and language - visual, spatial, imagistic modeling and reasoning - simulative modeling - the role of diagrammatic representations - computational models of visual and simulative reasoning - causal and counterfactual reasoning in model construction - visual analogy - thought experiments - manipulative reasoning - distributed model-based reasoning - distributed cognition, embodiment, and model-based reasoning - models of rationality and inference patterns in decision making - model-based reasoning in scientific discovery and conceptual change - model-based reasoning and ethics - model-based reasoning and semiotics - model-based reasoning in scientific explanation - model-based medical diagnosis - model-based reasoning in engineering and robotics - model-based reasoning and technological artifacts - model-based reasoning and knowledge management - model-based reasoning and information technology - the role of models in scientific and technological thinking [...] --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2014 16:46:13 +0000 From: Martin Mueller Subject: TEI and DHCS programs and early registration for TEI conference In-Reply-To: <53FDE4CF.6090603@unipv.it> The sites for the 2014 TEI conference (http://tei.northwestern.edu) and the 2014 Chicago DHCS Colloquium ((http://tei.northwestern.edu) now contain lists of the accepted papers. A schedule will follow in early September. If you want to take advantage of the Early Registration discount for the TEI conference, please remember that the deadline is August 31. The TEI and DHCS conferences overlap in time and place and share some programming. The major shared topic is prompted by the imminent release of 25,000 EEBO TCP texts into the public domain followed by another 45,000 texts in 2020. The availability of this large and comprehensive digital corpus to anybody, anywhere, anytime is likely to be a consequential event for Early Modern Studies. I am delighted to report that we have received a diverse and excellent set of papers about this topic. For folks who have an interest in the fate of Early Modern Studies in a digital world, the shared programming of the TEI Conference and DHCS Colloquium will be a good opportunity to inform themselves about what is going on.

The Open University’s Commodity Histories project focuses on the histories of a wide range of commodities that have become an indispensable aspect of people’s daily lives throughout the world, providing a forum for new research in the field. They have come together to propose an interdisciplinary workshop on the hidden histories of the non-human, understood in its widest sense to include materials, objects, animals, plants and natural phenomena. Overwhelmingly, research on the non-human, whether stressing collaborative relationships between things and humans or conversely the intractability and resistance of certain properties of the non-human to human will and control, tends to focus on the contemporary world. This one-day workshop takes a step back and aims to explore how the histories of materials and non-human phenomena might inform our understanding of their present workings and future potentialities. It views history as a creative process, capable of suggesting new possibilities by revealing hidden stories and episodes from the past. We invite papers that range across the entire spectrum of the non-human and that problematise the present by asking new questions of the connected past. Papers may, for instance, explore: • biographies of materials, plants, or commodities, outlining their various connectivities and agencies • the complex journeys of particular artefacts from past to present • how natural phenomena such as weather and climate have been understood in different historical periods • animal-human relationships in historical context • the environmental and cultural consequences of the production of particular materials or minerals over time Papers that deal with materials and natural phenomena in ‘unfamiliar’ spatial settings, e.g. locations in Africa, Asia, Oceania, the Caribbean, and Latin America, are particularly welcome as are abstracts from early career researchers and PhD students. Papers will be circulated in advance of the workshop. Registration requests and abstracts of 300 words should be sent to matthew.paskins@open.ac.uk by Monday 6th October 2014.

Dear colleagues, In October 2014, the Science Museum, London, will open a new permanent gallery, Information Age. The gallery will expose, examine and celebrate how information and communication technologies have transformed our lives over the last 200 years. To mark this launch, the Museum is hosting a free, three day conference which will discuss how the history and material culture of information can be made relevant for today's audiences. >From the development of global telegraph and computer networks, the creation of constellations of satellites that silently orbit our earth, and the growth of radio, telephony and cellular networks; each technology can be understood through a network of people, practices, devices and infrastructure. Approaches which focus on overly technical histories, individual innovation or inevitable progress fail to acknowledge the role of users in the history of technologies and marginalise a majority of readers or visitors who are engaged by human stories and social history. By contrast, Information Age has taken a user-centric approach, not only in the stories and objects selected for display, but in the way the gallery has been designed and developed. Participation with a diverse range of audiences has been at the heart of the process, providing new avenues for research, fresh perspectives on our collections and original ways to interpret the information networks of which we are all part. This conference will combine reflections on collecting practice and academic related to information, showcase innovative approaches to interpreting and displaying this content, and examine the opportunities and challenges of working in partnership with audiences to bring the collections to life. To book a place, please visit http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/about_us/new_research_folder/information _age_conference We look forward to seeing you in November!

The full call for participation is now online: http://www.dh.unibe.ch/en/2014/08/software-scholarship/ https://infoclio.ch/en/node/135615 Deadline for abstract submission: 11 October 2014. With best wishes, Tara Andrews -- Prof. Dr. Tara L Andrews Digital Humanities, Universität Bern http://www.dh.unibe.ch/ Scholarship in Software, Software as Scholarship: From Genesis to Peer Review ‘Expressions’, 29 January 2015: Workshop on Software-based Scholarship Organizer: Digital Humanities, Universität Bern Computation and software analysis have entered nearly every imaginable field of scholarship in the last decades, in a variety of forms from digital publication of results to computational modelling embedded in experimental work. In each of these digital outputs – be it an interactive publication with mapping of relevant geo-referenced data, or perhaps a statistical program for the categorization of millions of books according to their literary genre – there is some manifestation directly in the computer code of the scholarly thought that underlies the project, of the intellectual argument around which the outcome is based. The fact that scholarly software includes scholarly content is reasonably well-accepted. What remains controversial is the attempt at identification, in any particular instance, of what scholarly contribution has been made by a piece of software. Its makers tend to express the scholarship in writing separate from the software itself, if they even make explicit at all the scholarly reasoning that went into the code; its reviewers and users tend either to treat the software as a ‘black box’, opaque to informed scrutiny and therefore to be looked on with grave suspicion, or to deny that this particular software has any scholarship inherent to the source code. Given that our mechanisms for identifying and evaluating the scholarship within computer code are nearly nonexistent, we must ask: how do intellectual arguments — how does scholarship — come to be expressed in the software of digital humanities? How does this scholarship, so evident in theory but so elusive in practice, fit into the scientific process of advancement of knowledge? ‘Evaluation’, 30 January 2015: Round table on Peer Review for Digital Scholarly Work Organizer: Infoclio.ch Related to the question of the expression of scholarship in software, and in other forms of digital publication as well, is the question of how to evaluate it. This topic will be the focus of a half-day roundtable, Peer Review for Digital Scholarly Work, to be held on 30 January 2015. Digital scholarly works such as Digital Editions, Digital Libraries, Digital Exhibitions, Data Visualization, Geographical Information Systems and the like are increasingly frequent in the Humanities, as main or secondary output of research projects; the question of how best to evaluate them takes on ever greater importance. At the moment, researchers doing digital scholarly work are usually unable to obtain academic credit for their work—in order to obtain scholarly recognition, they must additionally publish a “normal” article in a print-based journal about their digital work. As universities and national research funding agencies across the world move toward encouraging more digital scholarship in the humanities, there is an urgent need to discuss the criteria and benchmarks that should be in place for evaluating digital scholarly work. We welcome contributions about existing initiatives in this domain as well as more theoretical contributions that treat the topic of peer review of digital scholarly work. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5966664D8; Mon, 1 Sep 2014 07:08:25 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C0E964C1; Mon, 1 Sep 2014 07:08:25 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3DABB64BC; Mon, 1 Sep 2014 07:08:22 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20140901050822.3DABB64BC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2014 07:08:22 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.301 The IBM Song Book X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 301.

The 10,000 tracks in GC14UX are sampled (w.r.t. maximizing music variety) from the Jamendo collection with CC-BY license and made available for participants (system developers) to download to build their systems. It represents a randomly chosen subset the content available at Jamendo that is published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-ShareAlike (by-nc-sa), where user-supplied data has tagged a track with 1 or more genre categories. For more details about usage of this dataset, see the LICENSE.txt file contained in the downloaded files. The dataset contains the MP3 tracks and the metadata the Jamendo site publishes on the respective items (represented in JSON format), retrieved using the site's API (6th Aug 2014). The dataset is available both zipped up and as a tar-ball(you only need one of these); however, at 60+ Gb it is a non-trival size of file to download over the web, and so we suggest you install a Download Manager extension to your browser if you do not already have one and make use of that. In a test using the DownThemAll! extension to Firefox, downloading the dataset between University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Waikato University in New Zealand took a little under 2 hours. You need to register to download the main dataset. If you have already submitted something to MIREX, your previous registration should still work. Once registered, you can download the data and explore the GC14UX set up. At the GC14UX site, a demo version of the evaluation system also available under the "Evaluator Login" option. Please do explore it.

The Call for Papers has been announced at http://sites.tufts.edu/perseusupdates/2014/09/01/digital-classicist-new-england-spring-2015/ Gregory Crane Tufts and Leipzig Digital Classicist Seminar New England: Call for Papers We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the third series of the Digital Classicist New England (Boston?). This initiative, inspired by and connected to London's Digital Classicist Work in Progress Seminar http://http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/ , is organized in association with the Perseus Digital Library at Tufts University. It will run during the spring term of the academic year 2014/15. We invite submissions on any kind of research which employs digital methods, resources or technologies in an innovative way in order to enable a better or new understanding of the ancient world. We encourage contributions not only from students of Greco-Roman but also from other areas of the pre-modern world, such as Egypt and the Near East, Ancient China and India. Themes may include digital editions, natural language processing, image processing and visualisation, linked data and the semantic web, open access, spatial and network analysis, serious gaming and any other digital or quantitative methods. We welcome seminar proposals addressing the application of these methods to individual projects, and particularly contributions which show how the digital component can facilitate the crossing of disciplinary boundaries and answering new research questions. Seminar content should be of interest both to classicists, ancient historians or archaeologists, as well as to information scientists and digital humanists, with an academic research agenda relevant to at least one of these fields. Anonymised abstracts [1] of 500 words max. (bibliographic references excluded) should be uploaded by midnight (CET) on 01 November 2014 using the special submission form. When submitting the same proposal for consideration to multiple venues, please do let us know via the submission form. Seminars will run from mid-January through April 2015 and will be hosted at Brandeis, Holy Cross, Northeastern and Tufts. The full programme, including the venue of each seminar, will be finalised and announced in December. In order to facilitate real-time participation from California to Europe, seminars will take place in the early afternoon and will be accessible online as Google Hangouts. As with the previous series, the video recordings of the presentations will be published online and we endeavour to provide accommodation for the speakers and contribute towards their travel expenses. There are plans to publish papers selected from the first series of the seminar as a special issue in an appropriate open access journal. [1] The anonymized abstract should have all author names, institutions and references to the authors work removed. This may lead to some references having to be replaced by "Reference to authors' work". The abstract title and author names with affiliations are entered into the submission system in separate fields.

For the most part, these two questions have been discussed separately. We seek to bring them together and thereby take them in new directions. These are philosophical questions that are addressed by many different disciplines: STS, history of science, mathematics, engineering, media studies, and the visual arts. They draw attention to technologies of picturing, the contexts of practice in which proofs and procedures of formal reasoning are employed, and problems and methods of teaching and communication. Presently confirmed plenary speakers: - James Robert Brown (Toronto) - Gila Hanna (Toronto) - Kenneth Manders (Pittsburgh) - Laura Perini (Pomona) We invite submissions on any aspect of the relation between pictures and proofs, and especially on these three thematic areas: 1) The role of pictures in logical or mathematical reasoning: What is the role of diagrams as objects of reasoning or as parts of the language of reasoning? 2) Compelling imagery and the power of visual evidence: Do pictures afford evidence and certainty such that they can serve as proofs? 3) Handling proofs and putting them to work: How have mechanical models, graphic procedures, visual and haptic manipulation contributed to mathematical reasoning in a wide variety of disciplines and applications?

The various cfps can be accessed at this link: https://nemla.org/convention/2015/cfp.html#cfp15016. My own panel cfp reads: Visualizing Communities through the Digital Humanities -- Textual and Historical From early-modern theatre troupes, to local LGBTQ networks, to the characters populating Dickens¹s London, communities vary in their formal qualities and the cultural or affective Œglue¹ that sustains them. Focusing on the digital humanities¹ visualization of communities, this session seeks papers addressing the current, critical crossroads of digital technology and humanities-based modes of inquiry. Presenters may theorize dh visualization methods, address technical research issues, or demonstrate challenges faced in actual projects.

Feel free to send questions. MATLIT Vol. 2.2 (2014) http://iduc.uc.pt/matlit Unknown Format Editors: Sandy Baldwin (West Virginia University) and Dibs Roy (West Virginia University) Files and directories, characters and pixels. There are others: mp3, docx, RFID. What is the materiality of these curious and ubiquitous objects? Or rather, of these formats - what is the materiality of formats? Formats cannot be understood in the Kittlerian terms of a readable trace of withdrawn yet mediating a priori. To explain a "file" as current differentials in a silicon substrate only demonstrates the failure of explanation. They may be closer to Michel Foucault's understanding of discourse as possessing "repeatable materiality" that is "of the order of the institution rather than of spatio-temporal location" (103). Through its materiality, a "statement circulates, is used, disappears, allows or prevents the realization of a desire, serves or resists various interests, participates in challenge and struggle, and becomes a theme of appropriation or rivalry" (105). Yet formats are physical in ways that statements are not. A graphical character on a computer screen is precisely determined in its appearance - its display is part of its materiality. Some questions are necessary. Firstly, what is the intersection of rights and formats? How is the status of files and directories, characters and pixels, inseparable from questions of agency and interiority? Whether we consider the Wikileaks or NSA or DMCA, the right to copy and delete formats is precisely formatted. Secondly, what of the contingency of formats? Pixels are refreshed every few milliseconds. Formats materialize through flows that are subject to breakdowns and viruses. Formats are dispersions, scatterings and emissions as much as containers and processes. Finally, what interventions are possible in formats? The form of the format determines rewriting and transcription - again, in Foucault's sense of "repeatability" - but what procedures are open to us to intervene in this form? The etymology of format is in the Latin phrase formatus liber, meaning "the shape of the book." For this issue of MATLIT, we welcome submissions that address these questions as the site of "the literary" today: the materiality of formats as literature. Furthermore, we welcome submissions that take formats and test their materiality in other domains outside of the computer. What about MLA format, Robert's Rules of Order, Braille, or barcodes in passports? How far can we understand subjectivity as a file in a directory, or as a character on a screen? And how can the repetition of formats in this way be understood as part of their "literariness"? DEADLINE: Articles of approximately 5000 words must be submitted by September 30, 2014. Authors will be contacted with decisions by November 30, 2014. Authors must register with the journal's online system and submit articles in this manner. The "About" section of the journal website has information on the journal's scope and submission guidelines (http://iduc.uc.pt/index.php/matlit/about).

Yet this is precisely what makes erasure a vitally necessary artistic, technological, and social practice. Erasure provides a point of departure from network culture, from the constraints of big data, the archive, and the cloud; through erasure, forgetting and disappearance become radical, profoundly productive acts. This special issue of Media-N seeks to describe the aesthetics of erasure across various media, platforms, and contexts in the digital era. What does it mean to consider erasure as an artistÂ’s mark, and how does it reshape the relations between making and unmaking? How do acts of erasure allow artists to harness and resist the possibilities and problems of the archive, of (self-) surveillance, of public and private, and of datafication? What are the aesthetic and political relations between erasure and analogous processes such as anonymization and redaction? What antecedents of digital erasure might we see in earlier moments of media history, and how might they help us to see digital erasure in new ways? What do practices of digital erasure, and the absences they produce, tell us about the materiality of digital activity? What relations do they reveal among artistry, audience, memory, temporality, and the market? How might erasure help us to see questions of reproduction, remix, appropriation, and intellectual property in new ways? The editors invite submissions in all formats and media, and from all disciplines, including but not limited to artwork, artistÂ’s statements, manifestos, interviews, and historical, critical, and theoretical essays.

In-Reply-To: <20140904052801.BD5BD64C4@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Sree Ganesh.T, Our experience in putting together collections of images (like this one: http://paradisec.org.au/fieldnotes/AC2.htm) is to aim for the highest possible resolution of colour image and store it as a TIF file. Filenaming is critical to keeping track of images. You can then use compressed (jpg) versions for delivery but will have a good preservation copy of the image. We have provided a procedures manual here, http://www.paradisec.org.au/OperationsManual2011.pdf – see the section at page 30 on 'Archival Imaging for Access Manual'. While a little dated, the main points of the process are still valid.

I forward here from the most worthy SIGCIS (http://www.sigcis.org/) a note with links that will lead you to the storm, should you care to be exposed. I'd suppose that anyone who has attempted to sort out a history of very recent things, with participants in that history still living, would likely have encountered such silliness as has erupted over this question. But the animus, with accompanying over-the-top claims, is useful in illustrating precisely what history is not, or as Mike Mahoney used to say, how hype hides history. Even in relatively clear instances of beginnings, such as Fr Busa's initiation of that which we now call digital humanities, establishing a beginning is an historiographical act, often with serious consequences as to the history which results. Did Alexander Graham Bell invent the telephone? Well, that depends on what you mean by "telephone", for one thing. And so on and so forth. As we slowly awaken to the need to write histories (note the plural) of digital humanities, I'd think we should look to the very best histories around as to how to proceed. Historians such as David Mindell's book Between Human and Machine: Feedback, Control, and Computing before Cybernetics (2002) is one of the finest examples I know of a technological history. Or, straying further afield, Christopher Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 (2012). As I've no doubt suggested many times before, Mahoney's writings in Histories of Computing (2011), edited by the fellow whose note follows, illumines us in this regard. Other suggestions welcome!

Dec. 1-4 Dear Humanists, The Alexander-Humboldt-Chair for Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig is happy to announce a workshop about Greek and Latin in an age of Open Data. Please find all information below or on our webpage: http://www.dh.uni-leipzig.de/wo/workshop-december-2014/ Sincerely, Thomas Köntges Workshop, December 2014 Greek and Latin in an age of Open Data December 1-4, 2014 Open Philology Project University of Leipzig, Germany Call For Papers Abstracts due: October 1, 2014 Versions of this are available in Croatian, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, French and Chinese. The Open Philology Project at the University of Leipzig will host a workshop on Greek and Latin in an age of Open Data. The goal is to provoke discussion about how Greek and Latin can play the most vigorous possible role in the intellectual life of humanity, both within traditional intellectual networks of the West and beyond. If you could reinvent the study of Greek and Latin, what would it look like? The ideal contributions would combine a compelling vision with practical steps forward based upon tangible work already available. The common language of the workshop will be English. We choose this language as a pragmatic method to facilitate exchange among multiple communities. While all position papers should be in an English version, these may — and should — highlight sources in many other languages. We particularly welcome submissions that draw attention to relevant activities that are taking place beyond the traditional languages of Classical Scholarship. We invite members of different language communities to facilitate communication with their colleagues. Where sufficient demand exists, we may provide simultaneous translation. Position papers of not more than 1000 words are due by October 1 and can be submitted here. Position papers can summarize larger discussions and should point, insofar as possible, to existing work that has already been produced. We look for contributions from students of Greek and Latin at any level, from introductory students through senior faculty, as well as from library professionals, publishers, curators and others committed to advancing the study of these languages. Accepted position papers will be made available on the Leipzig Digital Humanities Website on November 1. All contributions will be versioned and authors will have the opportunity to update their papers in response to feedback from the community before, during, and after the workshop. Limited support is available to cover the expenses of those with particularly well reviewed contributions to participate in person at Leipzig. Topics can include, but are not limited to, the following: * What constitutes the most vigorous possible role for Greek and Latin in the intellectual life of humanity? * What opportunities and challenges emerge as we open up our publications and our research data? In particular, what new forms of publication do we need to support? * What are the limits of openness? There are limits on what can be changed: the core content of a particular argument produced at a particular time by a particular scholar needs to be preserved as it was but at least some commentaries can (and should) be collaboratively produced and maintained (with individuals able to identify their contributions). Likewise some literary translations may reflect a particular poetic voice but collaborative translation is an important new methodology if we are to produce translations for Greek and Latin in an increasing range of modern languages. * What work most advances the study of Greek and Latin and what work should the community support? Faculty research time is the most plentiful and stable resource available to the field. How should those who are privileged to advance the study of Greek and Latin for a living invest their time and energy? * How do we make Greco-Roman culture accessible to a global audience? What barriers of language and culture must we address to support students of Greek and Latin beyond Europe, North America and the traditional Western world? * How do we respond to changing scales of research, with methods from corpus linguistics allowing us to view even the most heavily studied source texts in new ways while methods from computational linguistics allow us to begin to pose questions questions of collections produced over thousands of years and containing billions of words? * With more than a billion words of Greek and Latin, as well as high resolution images of thousands of manuscripts, inscriptions, and papyri, already available under various open licenses, what possibilities are there for Citizen Science in the study of Greek and Latin? How can a relative handful of advanced researchers and library professionals best engage the aid of citizen scientists in the analysis of these collections? * What new methods are available for teaching Greek and Latin, drawing upon richly annotated corpora and dynamic feedback loops from gaming, as well as upon findings about memory and language from the cognitive sciences? * What is the potential role, more generally, of Greek and Latin in primary and secondary school? What should a BA or MA in Greek, Latin or Classical studies entail? What skills should the next generation of teachers and researchers develop? * How do we support publications about, and infrastructure for, Greek and Latin in an open-access, open-source and open-data world? What kind of publishing infrastructure do we need? What is the role of libraries in publishing as well as maintaining publications and research data? How do scholars best publish their work? Do we need professional services that more closely resemble printers (i.e., organizations that make scholarly contributions as accessible as possible in a normalized and sustainable format) than publishers (organizations that claim control of scholarly output)? * What is the material basis upon which the study of Greek and Latin survives? And what, if anything, can successes and challenges in various systems contribute in other national contexts? For instance, why in Europe are positions associated with Greek and Latin (including primary and secondary school teachers, library professionals, university professors, curators, etc.) refilled when their previous occupants retire or leave their position? In the United States, by contrast, members of the American Philological Association abandoned the term Philology and voted to become the Society for Classical Studies — a shift that reflects the fact that large courses taught in English translation, rather than courses work in Greek and Latin, are the foundation for many, if not most, departments of Classics. Do the 500,000, 800,000 and 2,000,000 students of Greek and (primarily) Latin in France, Germany, and Italy respectively suggest that European university departments depend upon the need to train teachers? What could classical philology in the US learn from the situation in Europe? And, perhaps even more essentially, to what extent do courses taught in English translation vs. courses on Greek and Latin support the study of Greco-Roman culture? The workshop will include both video-conference and face-to-face discussions, from Monday through Thursday, December 1-4, 2014. Public discussions will take place via video-conference (17:00-20:00 Central European time; 12:00-15:00 Brasil East Coast; 11:00-14:00 US East Coast time; 08:00-11:00 US West Coast time), with a mixture of formal meetings and informal conversations during the day.

If you are interested in participating, please send a 250 word abstract and 1 pg. CV to Rob Koehler, rdk252[at]nyu[dot]edu by September 15, 2014. Conference: American Society for Eighteenth Century Studies Location: Los Angeles, CA Dates: March 19-21, 2015 Panel Title: Practices of Authorial Attribution in the Long Eighteenth Century Contact: Rob Koehler, rdk252@nyu.edu Deadline: September 15, 2014 Recent debates about the texts that should be attributed to figures such as Daniel Defoe and Eliza Haywood have drawn new attention to the difficulties of determining authorship for many texts published during the eighteenth century. These debates have highlighted concerns about what types of evidence can be considered definitive for scholars to accept attributions but set aside questions of how readers, writers, booksellers, politicians, artists, lawyers, divines, and printers of the eighteenth century developed, refined, challenged, or established practices of attribution in various media and domains of knowledge. As a means of reassessing current scholarly methods of attribution and of developing perspectives that offer new avenues for considering the process of attribution itself, this panel will consider the material, legal, formal, and theoretical underpinnings of practices of attribution in the long eighteenth century across domains of knowledge, including—but not limited to—literature, music, law, theology, politics, and natural philosophy. Papers investigating non-literary domains of knowledge are especially welcome, as are those that consider these questions from an international or cross-cultural perspective. Please send a 250 word abstract and 1 pg. CV to Rob Koehler, rdk252[at]nyu[dot]edu. *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1410003421_2014-09-06_humanist-owner@lists.digitalhumanities.org_6665.2.pdf _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id B14C86506; Sun, 7 Sep 2014 09:21:21 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F17C36502; Sun, 7 Sep 2014 09:21:20 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C347564F2; Sun, 7 Sep 2014 09:21:17 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140907072117.C347564F2@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 7 Sep 2014 09:21:17 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.317 pubs: Digital Philology 3.1 X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 317.

Such dialogues of course have illustrious predecessors, and we are aware of the centuries-old epistemological debate. We know also that throughout the centuries many of these attempts have failed to build a less fragmented scientific community. So why trying it again? I can speak for our experience here, but I think we all felt that too many essential connections were missing within our respective fields on a number of multidimensional problems (i.e., "knowledge", "memory", "gender", "consciousness", etc.). And the present one seems to be, also for historical reasons (i.e. the present global "cultural crisis"), the right moment to do something for challenging our intellectual routines (including, Gods forgive me, DH). Students and teaching (especially the rigid European models) were always in our mind, so we've been reflecting also on how to implement what we have experimented with into a flexible interdisciplinary graduate programme. That ideally should be our next move.

The pace of that change has created a gap between core social/cultural practices that depend on stable reading and writing environments and the new kinds of digital artefacts – electronic books being just one type of many – that must sustain those practices now and into the future. This gathering explores research foundations pertinent to understanding new practices and emerging media, specifically focusing on work in textual and extra-textual method, leading toward: * theorizing the transmission of culture in pre- and post-electronic media; * documenting the facets of how people experience information as readers and writers; * designing new kinds of interfaces and artefacts that afford new reading abilities; * conceptualizing the issues necessary to provide information to these new reading and communicative environments; * reflecting on interdisciplinary team research strategies pertinent to work in the area; * and much more. Sponsors of the gathering include the University of Western Sydney (Digital Humanities Research Group), the State Library of New South Wales, the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) research group, and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) is a collaborative group of researchers and graduate research assistants working with other organizations and partners to explore the digital humanities, electronic scholarly communication, and the affordances of electronic text.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2014 15:06:18 +0200 From: Elodie Faath Subject: Deployment of the text-mining tool Bilbo on Revues.org Dear all, We are pleased to announce the deployment of Bilbo, our automatic annotation tool for bibliographic references, on almost 80% of Journals on Revues.org. It has been developed by OpenEdition Lab, a research and development programme launched in 2011 by teams at OpenEdition and the Avignon IT Laboratory (LIA http://lia.univ-avignon.fr/ ), later joined by the Information Sciences and Systems Laboratory (LSIS http://www.lsis.org/ , Aix-Marseille University – CNRS), and initially financed by a Google Grant for Digital Humanities http://oep.hypotheses.org/312 . http://oep.hypotheses.org/1580 Best regards, Élodie Faath Deployment of the text-mining tool Bilbo on Revues.org For a few weeks now Revues.org has boasted a new feature: the text-mining tool Bilbo, which automatically annotates journals’ bibliographic references. Bilbo identifies the bibliographic references in journal articles and semantisizes their constituent parts. It then identifies the DOIs corresponding to these references and, where they exist, adds them to the end of the reference as a hyperlink, making it possible to directly access the cited resource. Developed by OpenEdition Lab http://lab.hypotheses.org/?lang=en_GB , Bilbo is now deployed on almost 80% of the journals on the Revues.org platform. How does Bilbo work? Bilbo (“Bibliographical Robot”) is a piece of software that detects, identifies, analyses and encodes bibliographic references in articles. Bilbo uses data mining and machine learning to identify the first name and surname of the author(s) and the title, publisher, year and place of publication of each bibliographic reference. The first version of Bilbo focuses on article bibliographies. A second version will extend the identification of bibliographic references to footnotes. Finally, a third stage will involve identifying implicit references within the body text of articles. Bilbo will regularly analyse the same bibliographies as the algorithm develops, but also in light of the fact that DOIs are attributed to thousands of new publications each day. Automatically identified references Using the author and title of an article, Bilbo can query the search engine maintained by Crossref http://www.crossref.org/ , the official registry for Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs), whose database contains millions of academic references. Bilbo can thereby retrieve the article’s DOI, where it exists, and add it to the reference in the article’s bibliography. The DOI is added as a hyperlink, allowing the reader to directly access the cited resource. Richer references Once the reference is identified, Bilbo is able to enrich it with complementary data and display it in different formats. Readers consulting an article via a library or institution that has subscribed to one of OpenEdition’s *Freemium *programmes http://www.openedition.org/8873?lang=en will be able to download references for which Bilbo has found DOIs in APA, MLA and Chicago formats. The list of subscribing libraries and institutions can be consulted on this page: http://cleo.openedition.org/pilotage/abonnes Who runs Bilbo? Developed by OpenEdition Lab, Bilbo is a research and development programme launched in 2011 that aims to develop features related to reading, writing, navigation and system recommendations. Two teams work closely together on the project: the OpenEdition team and the Sciences and Systems Laboratory team (LSIS, Aix-Marseille University – CNRS). Initial funding for the project was provided by a Google Grant for Digital Humanities http://oep.hypotheses.org/312 .

In his illuminating biography of Allen Newell, in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences' Biographical Memoir series (http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/), Herbert Simon makes the following statement: > A genuine computer program performing a task of some sophistication > has much more persuasive and educational powers than do verbal > discussions of ideas. A running program is the moment of truth. (p. 149) A formal debate does not often come to my mind, but in this case it was my first thought. Or perhaps a panel session at a conference where computer science meets the humanities? Comments?

Please note that the deadline for submissions is 8 December. There will be no extension of this deadline. In March 2014, the web celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday. This vast information resource is of enormous importance to scholars, both as a primary source and as a means of networking and communication. It is, however, strikingly ephemeral, and much important data has already been lost. The archiving of this vast range of material, so that it is accessible to both contemporary and future researchers, increasingly occupies national memory institutions, and researchers are also beginning to realise and explore its value. This conference seeks to explore the potential of web archives for scholarly use, to highlight innovative research, to investigate the challenges and opportunities of working with the archived web, to identify opportunities for incorporating web archives in learning and teaching, and to discuss and inform archival provision. This multi-disciplinary conference is aimed at scholars, web archiving institutions, web archivists, curators, IT-developers, companies and public institutions interested in web archiving and research using web archives. In conjunction with the overall topic of web archives, general areas of interest include, but are not limited to: • the history(ies) of the web • the changing structure of the web • material culture and display in a digital context • political and literary reputation online • public engagement online • patterns of culture online • networks of social communication • the evolution of language on the web • the history of institutions and organisations online • the history of social and political movements on the web • the relationship between image, sound and text online • the web as a forum for commemoration • health and education online • using web archives in the classroom • national/international boundaries online • approaches to web archiving • research methods for studying the archived web • providing access to the archived web This list is not exhaustive, and we are keen to attract the widest possible range of topics. Important dates: • 8 December 2014: submissions due • 19 January: notification of acceptance • 9 March 2015: registrations for presenters open • 20 April 2015: papers uploaded (if we decide this) • 20 April 2015: registrations for presenters close • 27 April 2015: registrations for non-presenters open • 11 May 2015: programme released • 25 May 2015: registrations for non-presenters close • 8-10 June 2015: Conference Keynotes: - Meghan Dougherty, Loyola University, Chicago - Ditte Laursen & Bjarne Andersen, Netarkivet, the national Danish web archive Organised by RESAW, Aarhus University, the State and University Library (Denmark), the Royal Library (Denmark), l'Institut des sciences de la communication du CNRS, Université de Lille 3, the Institute of Historical Research (University of London), the University of Amsterdam, the British Library, and Leibniz University Hannover Read the full call at http://resaw.eu/events/international-conference-aarhus-june-2015/ —————————————————————————————— SECOND CALL 'Web Archives as scholarly Sources: Issues, Practices and Perspectives', 8-10 June 2015.

The Conference will take place at the University of Antwerp's conveniently located City Campus on *Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 June 2015*. Please note that this new date is different from the one previously communicated in The Hague, although it is the same week. Joris van Zundert (Huygens ING, The Netherlands) has kindly agreed to act as our Program Chair and will oversee the reviewing process. We are happy to announce that our first confirmed keynote speaker will be William Noel (http://www.willnoel.com/), Director of The Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania. The DHBenelux Conference will welcome contributions and participants from all areas of research and teaching in Digital Humanities. While the conference will pay special attention to recent advances in The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg, we welcome contributions from outside the Benelux. The language of the conference is English and we hope that DHBenelux will constitute a premier European meeting platform for DH scholars from across the globe in the summer season of 2015. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Antwerp. More practical information and the call for papers are expected to be sent out later this fall. Any remaining questions can be sent to mike.kestemont@uantwerp.be.

Best wishes, Kathryn Holland ----- Digital Diversity 2015: Writing | Feminism | Culture Orlando turns 20 Edmonton, Canada 7-9 May 2015 How have new technologies transformed literary and cultural histories? How do they enable critical practices of scholars working in and outside of digital humanities? Have decades of digital studies enhanced, altered, or muted the project to recover and represent more diverse histories of writers, thinkers, and artists positioned differently by gender, race, ethnicity, sexualities, social class and/or global location? This conference examines the trajectory of feminist digital studies, observing the ways in which varied projects have opened up the objects and methods of literary history and cultural studies. It marks the twentieth anniversary of the start of the Orlando Project, an ongoing experiment in digital methods that produces Orlando: Women’s Writing in the British Isles, from the Beginnings to the Present (orlando.cambridge.org). Alongside pioneering projects such as the Women Writers Project, the Corvey Project, the Dickinson Electronic Archives, the Perdita Project, and the Victorian Women Writers Project, Orlando blazed a new path in the field, bringing together feminist literary studies with emerging methods of digital inquiry. These twenty years have witnessed a revolution in how we research, produce, and circulate knowledge. It is time to reflect upon the impact of the digital turn on engagement with the literary and cultural past. We welcome presentations that will together reflect on the past, present, and future of digital literary and cultural studies; examine synergies across digital humanities projects; and stimulate exchanges across such fields as literary history, history, art history, cultural studies, and media studies. Potential topics include: * Transformations and evaluations of feminist, gender, queer and other recuperative literary studies * Digital manifestations of critical race studies, transatlantic/transnationalist or local/community-based approaches * Collaborations between digital humanities specialists and scholars in other fields * Born-digital critical and creative initiatives in cultural history (journals, blogs, electronic “branch” projects, crowdsourcing, multi-media, and interactive projects) * Editorial initiatives, digitization and curation of primary texts, representation of manuscripts and the writing process * Inquiry into texts, networks, and historical processes via visualization and other “distant reading” strategies * Authorship and collaboration: the work of women and other historically marginalized writers, traditional models of scholarship, and new conditions of digital research and new media * Sound and sight: sound and visual arts studies in digital environments * Identities and diversity in new media: born-digital arts in word, sound, and image, in genres including documentaries, blogs, graphic novels, memoirs, hypertexts and e-literature * Conditions of production: diversity in academia, publishing, library, information science, or programming, past and present * Cultural and political implications of particular tools or digital modes of presentation * Pedagogical objectives, practices, environments * Dissemination, accessibility, and sustainability challenges faced by digital projects The conference will include paper/panel presentations as well as non-traditional presentation formats. Please submit abstracts (500 words for single paper, poster, or demonstration, and 1500 words for panels of 3 papers or workshops) along with a short CV for each presenter. We are applying for funding to support the participation of students and emerging scholars. We welcome proposals for other non-traditional formats. Half- to full-day workshops will be held on the first day of the conference; demonstrations and poster presentations will be embedded in the conference program. Proposals for workshops should provide a description, outline, and proposed schedule indicating the length of time and type of space desired. The deadline for all submissions is 26 September 2014. Send proposals and CVs by email, to digdiv2015@gmail.com. Follow us on Twitter @digdiv2015. --- Dr. K.

Holst Katsma, "Loudness in the Novel" *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1410811921_2014-09-15_literarylab@stanford.edu_9585.2.pdf Perhaps it was Holst Katsma’s musical education that prompted him to see loudness as a promising object for literary analysis; what is certain is that “Loudness in the Novel” takes what might have remained just a good intuition, and turns it into a strikingly effective tool for narrative theory and historical analysis. One need only look at the “score” of Book I of The Idiot, or the chart on the triumph of “said” in the nineteenth century, to realize the pamphlet's intuitive force and intellectual elegance. “Loudness in the Novel” was conceived by Holst Katsma in 2012, when he was a junior; in 2013, a longer version won the Kennedy prize (Stanford’s highest recognition for undergraduate work in the humanities). It is a great example of what digital and quantitative research has to offer to undergraduate education.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2014 10:24:52 -0400 From: Medical Heritage Library Subject: Nearly 60,000 items from the Medical Heritage Library now available in DPLA! Good morning! The Medical Heritage Library (MHL) is pleased to announce that MHL content can now be discovered through the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA). The MHL, a specialized research collection stored in the Internet Archive, currently includes nearly 60,000 digital rare books, serials, audio and video recordings, and ephemera in the history of medicine, public health, biomedical sciences, and popular medicine from the medical special collections of 22 academic, special, and public libraries [http://www.medicalheritage.org/about/]. MHL materials have been selected through a rigorous process of curation by subject specialist librarians and archivists and through consultation with an advisory committee of scholars in the history of medicine, public health, gender studies, digital humanities, and related fields. Items, selected for their educational and research value, extend from 1235 (Liber Aristotil[is] de nat[u]r[a] a[nima]li[u]m ag[res]tium [et] marino[rum] [https://archive.org/details/101141503.nlm.nih.gov]), to 2014 (The Grog Issue 40 2014 [https://archive.org/details/TheGrogIssue402014]) with the bulk of the materials dating from the 19th century. “The rich history of medicine content curated by the MHL is available for the first time alongside collections like those from the Biodiversity Heritage Library and the Smithsonian, and offers users a single access point to hundreds of thousands of scientific and history of science resources,” said DPLA Assistant Director for Content Amy Rudersdorf. The collection is particularly deep in American and Western European medical publications in English, although more than a dozen languages are represented. Subjects include anatomy, dental medicine, surgery, public health, infectious diseases, forensics and legal medicine, gynecology, psychology, anatomy, therapeutics, obstetrics, neuroscience, alternative medicine, spirituality and demonology, diet and dress reform, tobacco, and homeopathy. The breadth of the collection is illustrated by these popular items: the United States Naval Bureau of Medical History’s audio oral history with Doctor Walter Burwell [https://archive.org/details/BURWELLWalterReleased] (1994) who served in the Pacific theatre during World War II and witnessed the first Japanese kamikaze attacks; History and medical description of the two-headed girl : sold by her agents for her special benefit, at 25 cents [https://archive.org/details/historymedicalde00buff] (1869), the first edition of Gray’s Anatomy [https://archive.org/details/anatomydescripti1858gray] (1858) (the single most-downloaded MHL text at more than 2,000 downloads annually), and a video collection of Hanna - Barbera Production Flintstones [https://archive.org/details/tobacco_djq03d00] (1960) commercials for Winston cigarettes. “As is clear from today’s headlines, science, health, and medicine have an impact on the daily lives of Americans,” said Scott H. Podolsky, chair of the MHL’s Scholarly Advisory Committee. “Vaccination, epidemics, antibiotics, and access to health care are only a few of the ongoing issues the history of which are well documented in the MHL. Partnering with the DPLA offers us unparalleled opportunities to reach new and underserved audiences, including scholars and students who don’t have access to special collections in their home institutions and the broader interested public.“ The MHL collection joins more than 7.6 million items available currently through DPLA. DPLA, an all-digital library that offers a single point of access to millions of items from libraries, archives, and museums around the United States, provides a generous array of interfaces into its collections. Users can browse and search by timeline, map, virtual bookshelf, and faceted search; save and share customized lists of items; explore digital exhibitions, and interact with DPLA-powered apps in its app library. Robert Miller, Global Director of Books for the Internet Archive, noted, “Digitizing this collection has breathed new life into rare and unique texts that were previously only available in printed form. These items have already been downloaded over 3.7 million times. Combining a digital platform for access with curated content is a winner for the open knowledge movement.” Creation of the MHL’s digital collection was funded by the Open Knowledge Commons, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Humanities and by the contributions of many of its principal and content contributors. The MHL continues to seek new collaborators and content; among the contributions anticipated for 2015 are oral histories with women leaders in medicine, 19th century British monographs, and American monographs, 1865-1923. New content is searchable as it is deposited and indexed from the MHL website [http://www.medicalheritage.org/search/], the Internet Archive [https://archive.org/details/medicalheritagelibrary], and the DPLA [http://dp.la/]. About the Medical Heritage Library The Medical Heritage Library (MHL), a digital curation collaborative among some of the world’s leading medical libraries, promotes free and open access to quality historical resources in medicine.

The project seeks to build new interactive environments that explore issues of ownership, public and institutional relationships and provide tools for collaborative community research and creative expression using digital heritage resources. It was motivated by recognition that communities are encountering real barriers to organising and connecting to resources and each other. In the field of heritage it is often difficult to access archival materials from public cultural institutions owing to bureaucratic, commercial and geographical barriers, something that impedes community research and connectivity. It is often difficult to establish relationships between communities and institutions that could and should be mutually enriching. We have been asking how best to approach these problems and deal with issues such as copyright, collaborative working, impact and building an open source digital environment to facilitate connectivity and build a set of lasting legacies. We now want to widen our conversation by bringing together community groups, activists and campaigners, researchers, creative professionals, cultural institutions and policymakers interested in developing and promoting research, education, collaborative working practices, policy and activism around the notion of an open access digital resource. To celebrate the launch of Pararchive and our community partners’ research projects we invite conference contributions around the following suggested themes: Creativity and innovation Co-curation models Co-design and co-production methodologies and experiences Collaborative practices and community-based participatory research Copyright in participatory projects Conservation of artefacts and collections in the digital age Data ownership and open data Digital literacy Digital storytelling Digitisation of individual and community memory Emerging business models Evaluation and measurement of impact in co-produced research Future notions of digital archives and libraries Geographical linking Inclusion/Exclusion Memory in the arts/digital art preservation Museum and media archives Partnership models between communities and institutions Principles of digital data recording and cataloguing Research ethics and research data management (Self)-Representation, identity and privacy in digital public spaces We are also interested in hearing about related screening materials, project outcomes and community creative practice. We welcome contributions from all sectors of the community. Important dates: Deadline for submission of abstracts: October 1st 2014 Notification of acceptance of abstracts: November 1st 2014 Deadline for registration: Main registration for the conference will be free and details of registration and a booking link will be advised after the summer break. Proposals to a maximum of 300 words should be sent to: pararchiveleeds@gmail.com Please address any enquiries to the same email address.

For those of you who do not live in London, we'll be live-streaming the event at ( http://www.livestream.com/historyspot). Full details below: Title: Introducing Paper Machines Date: 7 October 2014 Time: 5:15 PM (BST=GMT+1) Venue: Room 208, Senate House Speaker: Jo Guldi (Brown University) Abstract: Historians of the twentieth century have to contend with a technological problem, the issue of archives too large to process by traditional methods. While textual encoding, tagging, and n-grams can reveal certain patterns in digital archives, topic modeling and topic frequency, applied to hand-tailored archives, can help the historian make informed decisions about where in an archive to start looking. Digital methods, in this way, are driving historians to longer and longer time scales, making it possible for even younger scholars to perform a ‘distant reading’ on big questions that range over nations and centuries. The talk will follow parts of the argument of The History Manifesto (2014), comparing how a historian’s search for periodization, agency, and causality in the data compare with use and abuse of digital data in other digital fields. Speaker Biography: Jo Guldi is author of Roads to Power (2012), What is the Spatial Turn? (2012), the digital toolkit Paper Machines (2012) and co-author of The History Manifesto (2014). She is Hans Rothfels Assistant Professor of Modern Britain and its Empire at Brown University. Her next project, The Long Land War, examines a century and a half of movements for land and water around the globe.

Abel and Conant, 2012), Hans-Jörg Rheinberger asks, how do we get to the hidden life of experiment (pp. 291ff)? His vote is for > the analysis and reconstruction of laboratory protocols and > laboratory notes, these forms of writing up and rewriting at the > periphery of the experiment itself, in the production of knowledge, > that are located in the spaces between the printed text and the > material event of experimenting. Citing the example of the French physiologist Claude Bernard (known in technological circles for his brilliant idea of the "milieu intérieur" of the human body, which strongly influenced cybernetics) Rheinberger writes that > the notes in his journal amount... to a comparison of the > activity of the experimenter with that of the artist, and stress > precisely the character of experimenting as 'feeling one's way'. He notes work showing that, > studying the laboratory journals themselves as instruments of > research [allows us to see] them in their positive function as > primary forms of recording in writing that organize not only the > knowledge process, but also the everyday life in the lab, and thus > the space of knowledge production as a whole. Laboratory books are > hence not simply taken as written traces of experimental activity, > but are themselves analyzed with respect to their function as > research tools in their own right. But, he notes, > The character of working notes as both epistemological and literary > tools remains yet to be explored. They form a space in which data, > the primary yet neglected form of knowledge things, take on shape, > and are transformed into elements of scientific discourse. or, in our case, a discourse in the humanities. > It is in this middle space, in this hybrid region in which research > objects have not yet become paper entirely, and in which the paper is > still part of the material experimental event, that one must look if > one wants to understand how scientific discovery works and thus the > generation of novelty, if one would like to grasp the experiment, to > put it in Friedrich Steinle's terms, in its disclosing or exploratory > form rather than in its demonstrative form. Text-analysis, manual and assisted, in the service of the history of experimental sciences, is one take on the above. But another, surely, is the leaping-off point provided by the (if I may) literariness of laboratory work, which now that we are all (at least potentially) experimenters of a kind, strikes me as strong inspiration.

She was invariably interested in and encouraging of young scholars in particular, and she also spent a great deal of time in informal conversation with a wide range of colleagues. The Lisa Lena Opas-Hänninen Young Scholar Prize was established in 2013 to honour her memory. The LLOH Prize is awarded to early-career scholars, that is, students, graduate students, or postdoctoral researchers at different conferences each year. Any individual member of any of the ADHO constituent organizations may submit proposals to the Awards Committee chair for conferences taking place in the following year. This call is specific to conferences in 2015. Individual members are encouraged (but not required) to seek the endorsement of a constituent organization. Proposals should clarify why the conference is likely to include contributions to digital humanities. Eligible conferences may include sub-disciplines in which digital techniques have not been achieved widespread acceptance. Special consideration should be given to proposals that encourage a diverse pool of applicants, addressing matters of cultural, linguistic, ethnic, and gender diversity. Proposals may ask for funding for one or two prizes and, additionally, a reception at which the prizes are awarded. At the reception, the history and sponsorship of the prizes should be explained. The proposal should identify the conferences (dates, venue, web site), the sort of contribution which is to be recognized (paper, poster, etc.), how the winner or winners are to be selected, who will present the award and explain its background, and the total budget. The budget may not exceed €1500 in total if two prizes are to be awarded or €750 if one prize is to be awarded. The budget includes €500 for each winner to defray the costs of travel, lodging and conference registration and up to € 250 (one prize) or € 500 (two prizes) for a reception. The awards committee selects the single best proposal for awarding the prize(s) at a given conference. The committee will give preference to proposals from constituent organizations that have not recently been awarded a LLOH Prize. The 2014 LLOH Prize was awarded at the Methods in Dialectology XV conference: http://methodsxv.webhosting.rug.nl More information about the prize can be found at the webpage of the ADHO Awards Committee: http://adho.org/awards/lisa-lena-opas-hänninen-young-scholar-prize Please feel free to write to the committee chair with any enquires: oyvind.eide@uni-passau.de -- For The ADHO Awards Committee Øyvind Eide _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 28D23659D; Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:21:57 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D9E7E659B; Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:21:56 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 96F6F6594; Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:21:54 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20140922052154.96F6F6594@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:21:54 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.346 postdoc at Maynooth X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 346.

The conference website is at: http://conference.eliterature.org. The conference will be hosted by the Bergen Electronic Literature research group at the University of Bergen, Norway with sessions at venues including the University of Bergen, Det Akademiske Kvarteret, the Bergen Public Library, the University of Bergen Arts library, and local arts venues. Bergen is Norway’s second-largest city, known as the gateway to the fjords, a festival city and cultural center with a lively and innovative arts scene. DEADLINES The deadline for submissions of research, workshop, and arts proposals is December 15, 2014. CONFERENCE THEME The theme of the 2015 Electronic Literature Organization conference and festival is “The End(s) of Electronic Literature.” This theme plays on several different meanings of “ends.” Topics the conference papers and works will explore include: Is “electronic literature” a transitional term that will become obsolete as literary uses of computational media and devices become ubiquitous? If so, what comes after electronic literature? We can also question in what sense electronic literature and digital writing practices are a means to an end. If so, what are the ends of electronic literature? What political, ideological, aesthetic, and commercial ends or purposes do works of electronic literature serve? In recent years, projects such as the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowledge Base have sought to highlight the work of scholars and artists who have worked outside of the mainstream of electronic literature as it has developed as a field, for instance developing research collections based on Russian and Brazilian electronic literature. This conference will seek to shed further light on international communities and practices in electronic literature that have not been widely addressed in the critical literature of the field, those that are located at the “ends” or margins of critical discourse in the field. Electronic literature is situated as an intermedial field of practice, between literature, computation, visual and performance art. The conference will seek to develop a better understanding of electronic literature’s boundaries and relations with other academic disciplines and artistic practices. As a laboratory for future literary forms, the field of electronic literature must count the youngest readers among its most significant group of end-users. One strand of this conference will focus specifically on digital reading experiences made for children. RESEARCH PROGRAM For the conference research program we welcome contributions that address the conference themes. Most proposals will likely describe a scholarly presentation suitable for delivery in about 20 minutes, with time for questions. However we also welcome propsals for other forms of talks. At the time of proposal submission, authors will asked identify one of following presentation formats: Paper (20 minute presentation): a presentation of a single by one or more paper by one or more authors (500 word abstract) Panel (75 minutes): a proposal for a complete panel including separate papers on the same general topic (250 word overview plus 3-4 500 word abstracts). Roundtable (1 hour): a group presentation of a particular topic emphasizing free-flowing discussion and audience interaction (500 word abstract). Lightning talk (5 minutes): a short paper for a session focused on the question “What comes after electronic literature?” (250 word abstract). Proposers must attend the conference. Speakers may not present in more than two sessions. Presentations may include elements of demonstration or performance, as part of a discussion that goes beyond the work itself. With this stipulation, proposers are welcome to address their own work. Submissions for the research program will be accepted from September 15th-December 15th, 2014 on Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2015 Proposals will be peer-reviewed by the Research Program Committee. Papers will be accepted on the basis of abstracts. Although we will not require, we will encourage authors of papers accepted for the conference to make full-text versions of their papers available on the conference site prior to the conference. Authors of selected full paper submissions may be invited to contribute to a book or special issue of a journal to be published shortly after the conference. This publication opportunity will not be available to authors who do not upload their full-text papers. WORKSHOP PROGRAM We welcome proposals for pre-conference workshops to take place on Tuesday, August 4th at the University of Bergen. Workshop sessions are focused on hands-on group work on a given project. For instance, working with a particular platform to learn how to use it to create works of e-lit, documenting work in a given database, sharing pedagogical models, curating electronic literature, etc. Workshops sessions are generally half-day (3 hour) or full-day (6 hour) sessions. Proposals will be reviewed by the Workshop Program Committee and selected on the basis of their value to the e-lit community and available facilities to accommodate them. Submissions for the workshop program will be accepted from September 15th-December 15th, 2014 on Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2015 ARTS PROGRAM The Arts Program provides an occasion for juried review, and extended display, performance, and presentation, of original works. The Committee especially welcomes submissions from artists who are new to electronic literature or who are in the beginning stages of their e-literary artistic production. The Arts program will feature several exhibitions and a performance program that coheres with the conference themes. Submissions are being accepted for the following parts of the exhibition and performance program: Hybridity and Synesthesia: Beyond Peripheries of Form and Consciousness This aspect of the program will emphasize works, particularly installations, that push at the edges of literature and other forms, and that appeal to other aspects of the sensorium than those we typically associate with reading. Works for example that involve haptic sensation, touch-based interactivity, innovative audio elements, interactive images, or locative technologies. Interventions: Engaging the Body Politic This exhibition will feature works that engage with contemporary cultural discourse and political reality, challenging audiences to consider digital artifacts and practices that reflect and intervene in matters of the environment, social justice, and our relation to the habitus. Decentering: Global Electronic Literature While there are strong centers of activity in electronic literature in North America and Western Europe, innovations in digital textuality are also taking place in Eastern Europe and in the Southern hemisphere. This exhibition will focus on these lesser-known phenomena. Kid-E-Lit: Digital Narratives for the Young The first generation of digital natives is finding a plethora of apps and interactive digital narratives made for their iPads and computers, perhaps learning how to think in a new digital vernacular. This exhibition will focus on innovations in digital reading experiences for children. Screening Room: E-Lit Film Festival The first ELO film festival will feature films that have been produced recently about electronic literature and related practices, and will also include screenings of types of digital literature that benefit from sustained watching, such as poetry generators and kinetic poetry. End(s) of Electronic Literature Performances and Readings This aspect of the program will feature live readings and performances of works of electronic literature. Authors are encouraged to think broadly about modes of performance, ranging from traditional readings to more theatrical styles of presentation, and to consider opportunities for site-specific interventions in public space. Submissions for above parts of the Arts program will be accepted from September 15th-December 15th on Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2015 ELC3 Preview Exhibition Volume 1 (2006) and Volume 2 (2011) of the Electronic Literature Collection have been influential anthologies that helped shape the field. Volume 3 (2016) is now open for submissions. This exhibition will feature selected works from the latest instantiation of this important publication. The editors of ELC3 will curate this selection. To submit work for the ELC3, see:http://eliterature.org/2014/08/announcing-the-elc3 (ELC3 submission deadline Nov. 5, 2014) Selections will be made via a two-step jury review process. Members of the arts program committee will first review submissions, and then curators for each track of the program will select works from among those ranked most positively by the committee. Final selections will depend on available resources and constraints of individual venues.

It will demonstrate the added value technology can bring to humanities research, by discussing ground-breaking interactive maps published as part of Adam Matthew’s primary source collections. The speakers will explore the way in which interactive maps can be used to facilitate the interpretation of primary sources in new and exciting ways that are only possible within the sphere of digital humanities. The talk will demonstrate how mapping has been used in different ways to support different types of primary sources, from Blitz diaries (Mass Observation Online) to Victorian cartography (London Low Life) and logbooks of sea voyages (China, America and the Pacific). About the speakers Martha Fogg is Publishing Director of Adam Matthew, a publisher of digital resources supporting research and teaching in the humanities. Adam Matthew’s primary source collections cover a multitude of topics from Medieval social history to 20th century consumer culture, and feature a broad range of sources including manuscripts, rare books, artworks, objects and film. Martha joined Adam Matthew in 2005 and has degrees from UCL and Royal Holloway, University of London. David Heyman is Managing Director and founder of Axis Maps. Originally formed out of the graduate program in Cartography at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006, Axis Maps designs and builds award-winning custom maps and visualization tools for a diverse range of clients including Emirates Airlines, The New York Times, Harvard University, and UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.

IDEASc – Integrated Doctoral Education with Application to Scholarly Communication – is a fellowship program designed to further scholarship and practice in the area of scholarly communication by integrating practical experience in the library with the research and classroom experiences that comprise the traditional education of doctoral students. Fellows will be provided with intensive mentoring, wide-ranging opportunities to work and conduct research in scholarly communication, and comprehensive training in pedagogy, curricular development, and in-class instruction. Our efforts are motivated by an awareness of the complex transformations of library roles in the scholarly communication environment and the increasing need to educate future LIS faculty with an integrated understanding of research and practice to meet the needs of future MLS students. Doctoral fellows will receive a stipend of $23,000, health insurance, tuition, travel assistance, and funding for publication in an open access journal for three consecutive years as part of this program. They will also have an opportunity to work in the library with experienced and innovative librarians and with leading faculty studying the diverse range of issues related to scholarly communication. Potential topics of interest include, but are not limited to, digital libraries, scientometrics, intellectual property, metadata, social media metrics, university presses, data curation, digital humanities, scholarly publishing, institutional repositories, and copyright. Additional information can be found on the project website: http:info.ils.indiana.edu/IDEASc Indiana University Bloomington is particularly well-situated to support this proposal given its campus-wide focus on issues of scholarly communication as well as the strengths of both the Indiana University Bloomington Libraries and the Department of Information and Library Science in this domain. This is a time of systemic change in how institutions create, sustain, and provide access to information, and libraries and LIS professionals are uniquely situated to influence the direction of this change. The project will graduate doctoral students who are not only familiar with issues of scholarly communication but will also, as leaders in the field, understand scholarly communication from the varying perspectives of practice, education, and research. Applicants will need to apply to and meet the requirements for the ILS Ph.D. program. Information on the Ph.D. application process can be found on the departmental website (http://ils.indiana.edu/phd/). Students will additionally be asked to send their personal statement, writing sample, and CV/resume directly to Dr. Cassidy R. Sugimoto (sugimoto [at] indiana.edu). Applications should be received by January 1, 2015 for full consideration. --- | John A.

Since (Andy Warhol might have said had he been less flamboyant) fame tends not to last very long, and most people just want to be left in peace, the reactionary position almost always wins out. Don't worry, everything's taken care of, you can go home now.... And of course some of the revolutionaries, having made their fortunes, retire to enjoy them. Variants of the nothing-here argument come to mind. One is what I call the quasi-Marxist argument that once the revolutionary guard has done its work, the State will wither away and the proletariat will rule. (Read: everyone will eventually be digital, so there will be no need for "digital humanities" as a distinct entity. After all, do we have a "typewriter humanities"?) Another, which I think of as belonging to Brian Cantwell Smith from a talk he gave in the early naughties, is this: the genius of digital computing is that it renders digital representation irrelevant. (Well, yes, if what you're interested in is the product rather than the process.) Another is to use digital humanities as a springboard to leap off into realms of abstraction, a.k.a. e.g. "digitality", and so achieve a safe distance from the dirty, noisy machinery. Thus the polarization of the digital into everything and nothing. It is remarkably like the usual, and quite uninformed, views of the humanities from the perspective of the sciences and of the sciences from the perspective of the humanities. Two cultures, incommensurable and mutually unintelligible. Or, actually, the view of any discipline from any other discipline -- unless, to follow Northrop Frye, you take your discipline as a starting point, a centrum ubique circumferentia nusquam. Stanley Fish argued long ago that there is no perfectly neutral standpoint from which to view all disciplines. True enough. But there is the expanding, which creates intersections that challenge, enlighten, inform. Because computing is not only what we know now but a scheme for the inventing of indefinitely many computings, and because the humanities cannot stand still whatever our personal failings, however low the declining enrolments fall, it seems to me that the intersection of the two will be an exciting place for a long time to come. Or so I hope and strive to help make so. These, by the way, are reflections on reading the very stimulating column by Thomas Haigh in Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery (CACM) readable without subscription at http://www.tomandmaria.com/tom/Writing/CACM-WeHaveNeverBeenDigital.pdf news of which he has circulated on SIGCIS (http://www.sigcis.org/).

In-Reply-To: <20140926061051.23BDA65BD@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I read with interest your "everything and nothing" post, and went straight on to the Thomas Haigh CACM piece: also interesting. This coincided with reading a piece in Aeon by Tom Uglow: The arts electric Digital art and culture mustn’t get caught up in the tools of its making or it will never transport us somewhere new by Tom Uglow Aeon : http://tinyurl.com/mqkwsqx Uglow, like some of your Digital Humanist types seems anxious for the revolution to happen, in digital arts, in his case. I think Uglow, perhaps like DH revolutionaries, mistakes what makes a revolution. He starts his piece pointing us back to 1914 (and there abouts), and to the (now seen as revolutionary) works of Schoenberg, Duchamps, Nijinsky and Stravinsky, Cubists, and the like, and argues that what we have in the digital arts to day--or at least some of it--will, in about one hundred years, be seen as being equally revolutionary for what it does with digital stuff. What made the cited works from around 1914 revolutionary was the different things done with the same kind of stuff others had been using and some still were--paint, musical sounds, dance movements. These works were not revolutionary for doing things with new stuff. They were revolutionary for doing different things with the same stuff. That's what mostly shocked others, as Uglow reports. Doing things with new stuff--new things or similar things--is part of normal evolution. Using computers, computation, the digital in the arts has been, and still is, just part of the way the arts have been and are evolving. It's not been, and won't ever be a revolution. I don't think. Perhaps we can say the same for the Humanities more generally (since I take it we'd want to say they include the arts): doing Humanities with new stuff--digital stuff--is all part of the evolution we'd expect to see going on, because there always is some evolution in the ways we do things; it's hard to stop this happening. Of course, at any point in time, we can see certain people messing around more with doing things with the new stuff, and we might call them the revolutionaries, but this doesn't make it a revolution. It's just the usual way evolution in practices go. Revolutions can be exciting, and even leave behind some good things, but they don't do much exploration. Evolution, on the other hand, if left to just get on, tends to do a lot of exploration ... of what can be done, of what is practical, illuminating, and usefully discovering of things new. So, unlike Thomas Haigh, I'd say there are Digital Humanists about today, quite a few of them: these are the Humanists who are messing around with and exploring what you can do with the kinds of digital stuff that has become quite pervasive today. Depending on what these explorations discover, the evolution of the practice of the Humanities might move on to become almost all digital in some way or other. Then we'll probably just drop the name Digital Humanities, and be wondering about what we call the next kinds of explorer types in the Humanities ... you know, Nano Humanities, or Quantum Humanities, or something just as strange. Humans, after all, do seem happy trying to become all sorts of different kinds of beings. And, I'd say, contrary to Uglow, getting caught up with the (digital) tools of its making will take us to places new in the arts, but by evolution, not by revolution.

Please consider submitting. This year’s conference theme is: Many Faces, Many Voices: Intersecting Borders in Popular and American Culture COMPUTER is broadly defined as any computational device, whether smartphone or abacus, and any form of information technology, including the origins of concepts of interactive text which may predate computational devices as traditionally conceived. CULTURE is rooted in the concept of cultural meaning. We ask not just operational questions such as, "How do people communicate using computers?" but questions of meaning such as, "What does it mean when people communicate using computers instead of using pre-computer approaches to communication?" Along these lines, we are interested in communication as well as creative practices/applications and how computer technologies shape them. "Computer Culture" can be understood in a variety of ways: - the culture of the computer, that is, as computers interact with each other, what culture do they have of their own? - the culture around the computer, that is, (sub)cultures associated with the production, maintenance, use, and destruction of computers - the culture through the computer, that is, explicit treatment of how computer mediation influences cultural phenomena that exist or has existed in forms that did not involve computer mediation, and what these influences mean - the culture by the computer, that is, the ways in which new (sub)cultures or (sub)cultural phenomena have arisen because of computers and understandings of these given awareness of the nature and/or workings of computers [...] Visit http://journaldialogue.org http://www.journaldialogue.org/ for information about the organization's new, peer-reviewed journal, Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy. Please pass along this call to friends and colleagues.

The Digital Humanities Summer Institute provides an ideal environment for discussing and learning about new computing technologies and how they are influencing teaching, research, dissemination, creation, and preservation in different disciplines, via a community-based approach. A time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, participants at DHSI share ideas and methods, and develop expertise in using advanced technologies. Every summer, the institute brings together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Library, and Archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond. Described by one participant as an event that "combines the best aspects of a skills workshop, international conference, and summer camp," the DHSI prides itself on its friendly, informal, and collegial atmosphere. We invite you to join the DHSI community in Victoria for a time of focused practice, learning, and connecting with (and making new) friends and colleagues. Fabulous 2015 Offerings (Registration & Scholarships) Offerings for 2015 are the result of consultation with our community about the topics and material we'd all like to see covered at DHSI now and in the future, as well as a call for proposals for courses among members of our community. This year, we're able to have a number of additional courses on offer and, overall, smaller class sizes to facilitate better our learning together! As well, following DHSIers’ suggestions, there is also the opportunity to take more than one course, by having several fabulous DHSI offerings during the weeks just before (1-5 June) and after (15-19 June) DHSI’s core week of 8-12 June. At the moment, preparations for 2015 are already humming along in Victoria, and our 'quiet' launch of our registration earlier has resulted in courses beginning to fill ... even a bit ahead of anticipated schedule. As in the past: if there's a course you or a member of your team absolutely must have, we’d recommend registration earlier rather than later for it! If you've not yet seen the list of 2015 course offerings (at http://dhsi.org/courses.php; also below) and our schedule (at http://dhsi.org/schedule.php), we'd really encourage you to do so. We’re pretty excited about it! And, in addition to a great mix of classic courses and new ones recommended by our community, we've got some great talks planned by, among others, David Hoover (NYU), Claire Warwick (U Durham), Malte Rehbein (U Passau), and Constance Crompton (UBC-Okanagan) -- as well as our DHSI Colloquium, lunchtime unconference sessions, birds-of-a-feather gatherings, and much more! Further, as we do every year, we'll have the pleasure of awarding a number of tuition scholarships. Application is via http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php, and these scholarships cover tuition costs with the exception of a small, non-refundable administration fee (students $150, non-students $300). The absolute deadline to apply for scholarships is 14 February, though the scholarship committee considers applications on a regular, rolling basis and evaluates applications based on need, merit, and course availability at the time of evaluation; scholarship spots tend to fill exceptionally quickly. We’re also very pleased to be working with ACH and GO::DH for sponsored travel bursaries (!); details on our website. - To register for a 2015 DHSI course: http://dhsi.org/courses.php - To apply for a tuition fellowship: http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php Wonderful Partners and Sponsors We're very, very happy to welcome and work with our new and returning partners and sponsors last year and this -- among them the University of Victoria and its Library, the University of British Columbia Library, University of British Columbia Okanagan, the Simon Fraser University Library, the Canadian Centre for Studies in Publishing (Publishing@SFU), the Innovation Lab @ VIU Cowichan and Vancouver Island University, the Simpson Center for the Humanities at University of Washington, the Pacific Northwest Colleges Consortium, the College of Arts at University of Guelph, the Centre for Digital Humanities in the Faculty of Arts at Ryerson University, English, North Carolina State University, Hamilton College DHi, Bucknell University, Texas A&M University, NYU English, CUNY Graduate Center, CulturePlex @ Western U, and the Digital Humanities Group at UC Berkeley; project partners and sponsors including the Editing Modernism in Canada (EMiC) project, the Modernist Versions Project (MVP), NINES, the Advanced Research Consortium (ARC), the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory / Le Collaboratoire scientifique des écrits du Canada (CWRC/CSÉC), the Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada (LGLC) project, the TEI Archiving Publishing and Access Service (TAPAS) project , the LINCS partnership, and the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project; and organisational partners and sponsors including the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (ADHO), the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS), the Modern Language Association (MLA), the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities / Société canadienne des humanités numériques (CSDH/SCHN), the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing (SHARP), the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO), the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory (HASTAC), Compute Canada, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). We’re so very grateful for such good company! And we’re even more pleased to note that membership in these groups allows discounted registration (details at http://dhsi.org/registration.html). . . . And a new Graduate Certificate in DH! Recently, U Victoria has launched a DHSI-based Graduate Certificate program in Digital Humanities, with applications received beginning September 2014 for intake in May 2015. The certificate program can be taken in conjunction with other graduate degrees at Victoria and elsewhere, or on its own. Furthermore, one of the most unique elements of this program is that it allows those who come to DHSI to receive graduate university credit for the work they've done while at DHSI, in combination with courses at other partner institutes (Oxford, Leipzig, and HILT, among many others) and institutions. Please see our homepage announcements bar for further details and news about the program. --- It is shaping up to be another banner year, and we hope very much that you are considering joining us for it!

Therefore, digital humanities will still be around for a long time. When I see a video of a dance performance the digital signals on my video player (which is my computer) is analogised for me to see them (what we used to call a DA converter, in contrast to the AD converter digitising analogue signals). When I listen to my computer's speech synthesiser reading a Humanist message out loud to me I hear an analogue signal. Much of the digital world I experience I meet only in analogue form. For many scholars in the humanities the focus is on what happens between them and analogue signals, no matter if the signals are created based on digital signals. The ones of us more or a little less focused on what happens while the signals are digital are called digital humanists.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2014 10:57:14 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: lossy digitization vs the dream of lossless For reasons of my own having to do with many CDs and new means of hearing the music recorded on them, I went (of course) online to discover which format might be best -- mp3, flac, aiff, wav, m4a and so on. It was a question in the first instance of getting software and hardware to work together; the equipment I have wouldn't recognize the format I started out with (aiff). Anyhow I came across a very helpful essay by one Mitchco, who seems to be not only clever and persistent but also well equipped with all the right kit and technical knowledge. Once I had determined what to do from his series of tests, I found his concluding reflections on the problems of (music) digitization telling: > What is most important to me is the erosion of original performances > where the original master is gone and we don't have an unaltered > waveform of a "new" master. All those analog tapes are eventually > going to fall apart. I hope we have unaltered waveform copies. I > understand that famous paintings undergo restorations. But even then, > the restorers are trying to restore the painting to its original > condition. > > That does not seem to be happening in the music remastering world. > Those works of art are being altered, some so bad that it does not > even resemble what the artist had in mind. The bands dynamics, > nuances, soundstage, tone, have all been altered to the point of > ruin. As someone who is personally benefiting from the unloading of books by libraries, I assume at least in some cases because of the easy assumption that 'everything's going to be online real soon now' or similar, I am often reminded to worry. There is an ethical dimension to our practices. Are we paying attention? Isn't the problem our tendency to think in terms of replacement rather than augmentation?

The main theme of the meeting will be History of High-Technologies and Their Socio-Cultural Contexts. The aim is to analyse the social, cultural, political, economic, scientific as well as military impact of high-technologies, ranging from recent and contemporary developments in computer technology through to innovations that were state-of-the-art in their own time, such as the telegraph, radar, and the jet engine. The conference will explore this complex process from national as well as international perspectives. It will trace both developers and users of high-technologies and their appropriation strategies. It addresses scholars from various backgrounds such as historians, sociologists, practicing engineers, and scientists. The symposium covers all periods and areas of the globe. We invite submissions of new, original and unpublished work that offers fresh perspectives for the history of technology as well as exploring sources and methods. The programme committee suggests the following non-exhaustive subthemes for the consideration of session organisers and contributors of individual papers, and posters: * High Technology as a Time- and Place-Bound Concept * Relationships of between High-Technologies, Science, Economics, Consumption, Politics, and Environment * Cross-Country Transfer of High Technology * From "Start-Up" Companies to Big Business? The History of Telecommunication, Information Technology, and Biotechnology * Inner Momentum of Technological and Scientific Developments vs. the Impact of Social and Cultural Forces * Age, Gender, and Ethnicity: their Historical Roles in Developing and Using High-Technologies * Contributions of Users and their Relationship to Developers of High-Technologies * Cultural and Social Effects of High-Technologies and the Development of High-Tech Communities * Resistance to the Development and Use of High-Technologies: Ethical, Cultural, Economic and Social Aspects * "Failure" and "Success" of Particular Technologies and Companies * The Impact of Political, Scientific, Economic, and Technological Framework Conditions on High-Technologies * Influence of High-Tech on Arts such as Music and Video * The Role of High-Tech Products and their Social and Cultural Impact in East-West-Relations during the Cold War and in the Post-Cold War Era * High-Tech and Utopia such as "the Atomic Age", "the Electrical Age", and "the Steam Age" * High-Tech in Science Fiction ICOHTEC welcomes proposals for individual papers and posters, but preference will be given to organised sessions of three or more papers. The Programme Committee will also consider submissions not directly related to the symposium theme providing that they relate to the history of technology broadly defined. All proposals should be submitted electronically by 2 February 2015 via our website: http://www.icohtec.org/annual-meeting-2015.html In addition to the scientific programme, the symposium will include plenary sessions, business meetings, special sessions for the prize winning book and article, the general assembly of ICOHTEC as well as social events such as excursions, receptions, and a banquet. The campus of Tel Aviv University and the surrounding areas, with their intensive high-tech activities, offer an excellent venue for this meeting. For suggestions about preparing your submission and the conference presentation, please consult the guidelines: http://www.icohtec.org/proposal-guidelines.html If you have any questions related to the scientific programme, paper, poster or session proposals, please, do not hesitate to contact Christopher Neumaier, the chair of the programme committee, via email neumaier@zzf-pdm.de.

Our focus has always been on critical and stimulating intersections: between the computable and the uncomputable, the communicable and the incommunicable, the chaos of creativity and the rules of algorithms, the human and the machine, in a constant search for new directions in aesthetics. The trail-blazing first edition of xCoAx took place in Bergamo, Italy in 2013 and was followed by an even richer 2014 edition in Porto, Portugal. They say “third time’s the charm”, and with such a past we could not be more excited for what’s to come.

The presentation will demonstrate the added value technology can bring to humanities research, by discussing ground-breaking interactive maps published as part of Adam Matthew’s primary source collections. The speakers will explore the way in which interactive maps can be used to facilitate the interpretation of primary sources in new and exciting ways that are only possible within the sphere of digital humanities. The talk will demonstrate how mapping has been used in different ways to support different types of primary sources, from Blitz diaries (Mass Observation Online) to Victorian cartography (London Low Life) and logbooks of sea voyages (China, America and the Pacific). About the speakers Martha Fogg is Publishing Director of Adam Matthew, a publisher of digital resources supporting research and teaching in the humanities. Adam Matthew’s primary source collections cover a multitude of topics from Medieval social history to 20th century consumer culture, and feature a broad range of sources including manuscripts, rare books, artworks, objects and film. Martha joined Adam Matthew in 2005 and has degrees from UCL and Royal Holloway, University of London. David Heyman is Managing Director and founder of Axis Maps. Originally formed out of the graduate program in Cartography at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2006, Axis Maps http://www.axismaps.co.uk/index.php designs and builds award-winning custom maps and visualization tools for a diverse range of clients including Emirates Airlines, The New York Times, Harvard University, and UCLA Center for Health Policy Research.

This is part of the national Being Human Festival funded by the AHRC and British Academy, and organised by the School of Advanced Studies (London). We're going to be showing first results from an experiment in which we take bio-response measurements from student members of a live audience at performances of Richard Wagner's complete Ring Cycle (5-9 Nov) at the Birmingham Hippodrome given by the Mariinsky Theatre under their charismatic conductor, Valery Gergiev. The blog I wrote (a few weeks ago) about this for the Being Human Festival went live this morning: http://beinghumanfestival.org/transforming-musicology-human-birmingham-hippodrome/ Please can you spread this news around as widely as you know how! We shall be mounting a campaign to create social media 'buzz' around both the opera performances and our Being Human event, and showing some analyses and visualisations of this traffic as part of the event on the 22nd November. The more (and the more lively) discussion about what we're trying to do, about Gergiev (a somewhat controversial kind of Wagnerian!) and about Wagner (the very epitome of a controversial figure) and his music drama, the better. We hope that this will be a way to involve anyone interested from anywhere in the world, and to show that international aspect - so please don't hold back because you are far from Birmingham (UK)! It would be helpful (though not obligatory) if you could let us know where you've posted (though not obligatory).

In-Reply-To: <20140926061051.23BDA65BD@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Prof. McCarty, I wanted to write and say how much I appreciated this post. Having watched and become involved in DH debates over the past few years, I share your unease at this dualism in our field (field? discipline? subdiscipline?!). You have captured something important here in this shot across the bow. Some thoughts: 1) I wonder if what you are describing as everything and nothing is also a result of the publications in the field that emphasize either the role of the programming end of DH (the everything) or the theorization of DH (the nothing). I realize that is too stark, but I am thinking less of the participants in digital humanities and more of the audience, the view from outside. As an art historian, I have encountered many curious colleagues who have followed bits and pieces of digital humanities development but are not major participants. These vast majority of colleagues have generally dismissed (with some fear) the "revolutionary" emphasis on technology that feels completely alien to them, while equally rejecting the theorization of the digital as so much more post-structural fluff. There is, I think, institutional lethargy, fear of change and, of course, not a surprising dash of anti-intellectualism in these responses at times. It seems in the realm of the outsider that "everything and nothing" are appropriate descriptors, but from the insider perspective, such essentialisms leave us confused since they don't match our experience let alone understanding of the work we think we are doing. 2) I wonder as well if the key to this dynamic you describe isn't that parenthetical phrase that crept into your response: " (Well, yes, if what you're interested in is the product rather than the process). " The everything or nothing approach precisely avoids the emphasis that many of us place on the process as the central intellectual endeavor of our work. I am not a programmer and will not come up with the new basis for an entirely novel visualization platform; nor am I particularly a theorist who will explain how the nature of representation is the interesting result of DH. Rather, I am interested in how digital methods change my research, and what that may mean, what I consider a rather important contribution to DH. But, as humanists, we have not learned to WRITE about process or accept it as an intellectual result in our journals, conferences and the like. (Not to mention hiring and promotion committees...) It seems to me that until we make the description and analysis of process something that is widely accepted, then DH will continue to be seen from the outside as both everything and nothing. At any rate, perhaps some obvious comments. But I just wanted you to know that I appreciated your post. Yours, Paul Jaskot Paul B. JaskotAndrew W.

Comme les accents ne passent pas toujours très bien sur cette liste de diffusion, n'hésitez pas à nous retrouver sur le site du colloque http://hn2015.org Humanités numériques 2015: Identités, Pratiques et Théories Conférenciers pléniers: Milad Doueih (Paris-Sorbonne), Jean-Guy Meunier (Université du Québec à Montréal) et Claudine Moulin (Université de Trèves) Avec le changement des supports, des modalités de publication, des mécanismes de visibilité, d’accessibilité à l’information et de circulation des contenus, c’est l’ensemble de notre rapport au savoir qui se trouve remis en question. Notre colloque sera un lieu de discussion sur une recherche qui puisse structurer le développement d’une théorie et d’une pensée du numérique mais aussi l’implémentation de nouveaux outils de recherche, d’édition, de diffusion, d’encodage, de forage, de curation ou encore de visualisation et de représentations de données (textuelles, sonores, visuelles, etc.) conçus par et pour les sciences humaines et sociales. Nous sollicitons des propositions de communication en français portant sur des travaux en cours ou sur des travaux achevés. Les sujets abordés pourront inclure les thèmes suivants : • éditions électroniques ; • transformation des publications savantes scientifiques ; • système d’information géographique ; • humanisme numérique ; • nouveaux médias ; • création artistique ; • sociologie du numérique ; • musique et informatique ; • politique de l’accès libre ; • fouille de texte ; • numérisation ; • sciences de l’information ; • visualisation et interfaces ; • réalité augmentée ; • muséologie numérique ; • numérique et images en histoire de l’art ; • linguistique et traduction informatique ; • nouvelles formes d’éditorialisation ; • nouveaux espaces d’enseignement (MOOCs et SPOCs) ; • réseaux sociaux ; • études environnementales numériques ; • cyberinfrastructures ; • jeux vidéos. Les propositions (de chercheurs établis ainsi que d’étudiants des cycles supérieurs) seront reçues jusqu’au 25 octobre via un formulaire en ligne. (Les résultats seront communiqués avant la fin novembre.) Certains étudiants pourront bénéficier d’une aide financière (il suffit de remplir la case prévue à cet effet dans le formulaire). Il y a aussi possibilité d’organiser une séance thématique de trois communications. Chaque communication est soumise par le même formulaire en ligne mais il y a une case pour indiquer le titre de la séance. Il est à noter que des ateliers de formation et un Hackfest auront lieu durant la journée du lundi 10 août avant le début du colloque. Des renseignements supplémentaires sur les ateliers seront disponibles sur le site web du colloque au courant de l’automne.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2014 14:50:41 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: reciprocal inspiration Evelyn Fox Keller, in "Booting Up Baby", Genesis Redux: Essays in the History and Philosophy of Artificial Life, ed. Jessica Riskin (Chicago, 2007), reproduces Rodney Brooks' one-sentence summary of the work of "The Cog Shop" at MIT (http://www.ai.mit.edu/projects/humanoid-robotics-group/): > a long-term exploration of what developmental psychology can teach > robotics, and vice versa This work is fascinating and important for several reasons, but what caught my eye was Brooks' insight in the explicit reciprocity of that "vice versa". So often digital humanities is presented to the world and taken by the world wholly in terms of what it can do for the disciplines of application. Is it ever the case that the benefit, the intellectual gain, is conceived as going in the other direction as well? I don't mean merely more efficient algorithms. I mean demands no computing can currently address. But now for the irony of that. At the end of her essay, Keller muses on the phenomenon common to us humans and our technological inventions. She asks her reader to > ... consider some of the recent uses of computational models in > contemporary biology in which genetic (and biochemical) data and the > schematic models that molecular biologists have until now employed to > make sense of that data are used to construct computer simulations > that are then, in turn, analyzed to explore the adequacy of the > original data and accompanying models. In a number of cases, this > procedure has revealed inadequacies in the original models and has > accordingly led to the development of better models. My point in > raising these examples from other fields is this: If there appears to > be a disturbing circularity in the expectations for robotic > simulations of human development, and if I am right in suggesting > that the same problem arises in the uses of computer simulations, > then the issue becomes a more general one. Furthermore, an > examination of constructive examples in other fields ought to help us > to see how what first appears as circular might be more appropriately > characterized as spiral, with a forward momentum quite compatible > with the back-and-forth traffic between model and modeled that is > more the norm than the exception for so much of techno-scientific > practice. My question is this: if indeed, as would seem to be the case, improvement of robotic models based on human developmental psychology leads to reworking of ideas about that psychology, and so revision of the robots and so on, what sort of a spiral might this be, and what would we say about the direction it is going? One can certainly predict reactions along the lines of 'as they become more like us, we become more like them', which I suspect is true to some degree, but is there anything particularly new here? Keller's response follows: > This is of course not the first time people have tried to build > machines that mimic the processes of human development and learning, > but earlier efforts were not nearly so successful, nor were they > quite so seductive. She notes that now that "use runs hand in hand with, if it does not actually precede, invention" and cites the Japanese example of "a large humanoid robot research initiative" intended "to serve the elderly -- as companions, as helpers, as nursemaids". She then notes the "meteoric rise in the incidence of autism in the general [American] population" and suggests robotic companions for autistic children could help. Perhaps they could, or even have since she wrote. But is there a prior relationship between the rise of autism and the equally impressive devotion to robots? Comments?

The recipient will be invited to accept the award and to address the society in a plenary session of the annual conference at Congress, which will be held in Ottawa in the spring of 2015. This award is generally given to someone who has made a substantial and prolonged contribution to the community, typically a senior researcher. We have awarded it to teams. We have awarded it posthumously in recognition of a lifetime contribution. We also recognize people who have served the community in a service capacity and therefore may not have a faculty position. For a list of previous recipients, see http://csdh-schn.org/activities-activites/outstanding-awards-prix/ Nominations of up to 500 words must be submitted by October 31, 2014. Only current current members of CSDH/SCHN are eligible to submit nominations. Nominations must be sent by email to the chair of the CSDH/SCHN Awards Committee (dean.irvine@dal.ca). The Awards committee will compile a short list, confirm with nominees whether they are willing to be considered, and request the submission of supporting material (CV, letters of support, access to contributions or projects if not readily accessible) by December 15, 2014. Adjudication of the award will be conducted by the CSDH/SDCH Awards Committee (Dean Irvine, Susan Brown, Juan Luis Suarez, Kevin Kee, and Janelle Jenstad), who may consult the CSDH/SCHN Executive or external members of the community for assistance in evaluating applications. Selection will be made by the end of December 2014. An announcement will be made in spring 2014, along with the release of the CSDH/SCHN conference program for Congress 2015. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E98236600; Sat, 4 Oct 2014 07:20:12 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AE31C65DB; Sat, 4 Oct 2014 07:20:12 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 53F3E64EB; Sat, 4 Oct 2014 07:20:10 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141004052010.53F3E64EB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 4 Oct 2014 07:20:10 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.371 events: extending GIS cfp X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 371.

Key areas of difficulty include the need for multivocality, the representation, computation and visualization of data which is uncertain in one or more ways, and the integration of spatial and temporal data. In recent years a growing number of research projects undertaken by scholars of history, literature, culture, linguistics, and fine arts are geographic in the sense of particularly concerning place, or having geospatial analysis as a principle methodology. Naturally this has led to the use of GIS software for both mapping and analysis in such work. It has also brought to the fore ways in which existing GIS software is deemed inadequate or inappropriate for humanist studies. Large GIS software programs, whether commercial or open-source, have come to their current form largely in response to needs expressed by particular communities within the domains of environmental and earth sciences, social sciences, government, and business. But geographical information systems in a general sense are not limited to such large packages, but are inclusive of an incredibly active open-source "geographical information ecosystem" within which some humanities scholars are able to develop their own software solutions. Elements of this system include software libraries for web mapping and analysis in programming languages (Javascript, Python and R) and geospatial linked data. Still, there are unmet methodological and technical challenges, and it is increasingly important there be a pragmatically-oriented forum for discussing humanists’ concerns and requirements with some specificity, in order to foster collaboration with GIScience researchers and practitioners. This should help considerably in realizing systems (or new ecosystem elements) more useful for humanities research than is currently the case. Topic areas that will be of interest for the session include but are not limited to: • Semantic computing: linked data, ontologies • Modeling, encoding, and computing over uncertain, sparse, or indeterminate spatial and temporal data • Visualization of uncertainty in maps and associated timelines • Modeling multivocality: “open-world” assumption in “closed-world” systems • Temporally-enabled GIS for data exploration and hypothesis formation • Quantitative tools for qualitative research questions Please send an abstract of up to 250 words to Karl Grossner (karlg@stanford.edu) by October 20. This session to become part of a recently announce GeoHumanities thematic track within the conference.

In an old essay, "The function of dogma in scientific research", in Scientific Change, ed. A. C. Crombie (1963), Thomas Kuhn remarks that, > Though the scientific enterprise may be open-minded, whatever this > application of that phrase may mean, the individual scientist is very > often not. Whether his work is predominately theoretical or > experimental, he usually seems to know, before his research project > is even well underway, all but the most intimate details of the > result which that project will achieve. If the result is quickly > forthcoming, well and good. If not, he will struggle with his > apparatus and with his equations until, if at all possible, they > yield results which conform to the sort of pattern he has foreseen > from the start. (p. 348) Now Kuhn does not leave matters there, so please, if you're unfamiliar with this paper, don't leap to conclusions. He was a subtle thinker. But I will leave him there, to go on to quote what seems to be Christopher Langton's first statement in public of the point of Artificial Life ("Studying artificial life with cellular automata", Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena 22.1-3 (1986): 120-149): > The ultimate goal of the study of artificial life would be to create > 'life' in some other medium, ideally a virtual medium where the > essence of life has been abstracted from the details of its > implementation in any particular hardware. We would like to build > models that are so life-like that they cease to be models of life and > become examples of life themselves. I would like to think (and so am asking for critical opposition here) that Langton's words are an instance of what Kuhn was talking about, but on a cognitive level. I would like to think that by speaking of an abstractable "essence of life" and "the details of its *implementation* in any particular *hardware*" (emphasis mine), he has so set the terms of reasoning and working as to reconceptualize, even change perception of the "life" to be simulated, before the simulating (or the simulating of the simulating, as it were) has begun. And so here is an instance of Keller's spiral? (See Humanist 28.369, on her essay, "Booting up Baby".) I would question how progressive this spiral is; I'd think it better to conceive of it as spiralling into a different, not necessarily better, future. It's almost as if we are given a brief glimpse in a rear-view mirror of a vanishing world as we speed away from it. Comments?

Dear Maurizio, The big issue for print lexica is getting the citations tagged. Big dictionaries often do a lot of abbreviating and it can be messy trying to expand them. We got the hierarchical structure from these and other lexica -- that should be doable. We have the Italian Calonghi version of the Georges Latin lexicon in the data entry queue for Open Greek and Latin. That will look like LSJ and LS when it comes out (though we may not immediately do the citation fishing).

In-Reply-To: <20141006051447.2364A65A6@digitalhumanities.org> Maurizio, There seem to be 3 steps: 1. If we assume that the paper copy is in good condition and easy to OCR you will need an OCR program with both Latin and Italian dictionaries. Otherwise your error rate will be too high. Abby Finereader springs to mind but there are probably others. That will get you a word-processed document, hopefully with not too many errors. You could just turn it into HTML and search it online. But it wouldn't be very useful like that. 2. Getting it into a dictionary format will be the hardest step. You could write a script in python, perl etc to convert the files into something like XDXF format, utilising say the change from italics to roman script, and the sequence of keywords to build up the structure. Since this step depends on the way the dictionary is formatted this solution would probably have to be a custom one. 3. From there you should be able to use some open-source tools to display the translations online. Sounds like quite a bit of work, though.

In-Reply-To: <20141006051447.2364A65A6@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Maurizio, I would be very surprised if you needed to build an ad-hoc solution to present your dictionary after it is OCRed. I'd like to recommend very strongly that you investigate options from/with Wikimedia. In addition to Wikipedia (which is best known), the Wikimedia foundation runs two sister projects which should be of interest. Wiktionary is a multi-lingual dictionary based on the Mediawiki software platform. There are separate Wiktionary sites for researcher languages, each of which provides multi-lingual dictionaries: compare the French-language Wikipedia entry on "data" at http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/data with the English-language Wikipedia entry on "data" at http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/data . Each language-specific site is run by its own community, so the Italian-language Wikimedia/wiktionary community would be the appropriate place to turn. Wikisource is a different sister project, which provides a wiki-based software platform for online editions of published works. If it's important that your text be arranged as the published text was (rather than as an online dictionary like Wiktionary organizes information), it would be an appropriate publishing platform. In both cases, you have the option of either installing and configuring the software yourself for a stand-alone digital edition, or partnering with the Wikimedia community to host your dictionary on one of their sites. There are benefits to both approaches. Partnering would save you from the need to install and configure the tool, as well as providing you with technical experts and volunteers. On the other hand, you would have more control over the brand of the site with a stand-alone installation, and you would not be required to comply with Wikimedia policy on licensing and copyright. As it is often hard for outsiders to get started in the Wikimedia community, the community has launched GLAM-Wiki for doing outreach to cultural institutions interested in exploring participation. They can help answer questions, suggest courses of action, and sometimes provide assistance in digitization (scanning and OCR ingestion). My impression is that the Italian-language GLAM-Wiki is interested in DH, as I sometimes see proposals to add TEI support to Wikisource proposed by Italians. I suggest that you contact them at http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Contact_us to explore options. Best of luck! Ben Ben W.

My dissertation is looking into the encoding of handwritten music scores, and a general review of the current music representation systems. In my own research I am yet to discover another piece of research on handwritten manuscripts being encoded. However, I though that I may find one of Handwritten manuscripts in general (not specifically music). I am particularly interested in how music representation systems deal with multiple editions, the removal/addition of new music, scribbling out of bars and rubbing out leaving faded first drafts on the page.

I will be continuing at Glasgow my work as Theme Leader Fellow for the Arts and Humanities Research Council’s ‘Digital Transformations’ theme and am pleased that I will be able to focus more fully on this work which I find fascinating. The accident in which I broke my leg and subsequent mobility issues have forced me to reconsider my priorities, and I feel I need to focus in the future on developing the ideas emerging from the AHRC theme and on completing the many half-finished pieces of research I have accumulated over the years. I will miss my colleagues at King’s but am pleased to be reunited with my former colleagues and friends at Glasgow. Professor Anna Reading of the Department of Cultural Media and Creative Industries at King’s College London has kindly agreed to act as interim Head of Department at King’s College London until a new appointment is made and Paul Spence has also generously agreed to act as Anna’s deputy head.

Although twenty volumes of the English jurist, philosopher, and legal and social reformer Jeremy Bentham's (1748-1832) correspondence have so far been published by the Bentham Project, UCL Library Services holds 60,000 untranscribed folios. Transcribe Bentham has tested the feasibility of outsourcing the work of manuscript transcription to members of the public, aiming to digitise Bentham folios, and, through a wiki-based interface, allowing transcribers access to images of unpublished manuscript images, in order to create an encoded transcript for checking by UCL experts and further publication online. This paper presents results, themes and issues which have emerged from this successful initiative, which recently saw the 10,000th Bentham transcribed by volunteer - or 'volunpeer' - labour.

We warmly welcome the participation of anyone who has thoughts on any aspect of this rather broad topic! The full call for participation is online here: http://www.dh.unibe.ch/en/2014/08/software-scholarship/ With best wishes, Tara Andrews -- Prof. Dr. Tara L Andrews Digital Humanities, Universität Bern http://www.dh.unibe.ch/ *Scholarship in Software, Software as Scholarship: From Genesis to Peer Review* *‘Expressions’, 29 January 2015: Workshop on Software-based Scholarship* *Organizer: Digital Humanities, Universität Bern* Computation and software analysis have entered nearly every imaginable field of scholarship in the last decades, in a variety of forms from digital publication of results to computational modelling embedded in experimental work. In each of these digital outputs – be it an interactive publication with mapping of relevant geo-referenced data, or perhaps a statistical program for the categorization of millions of books according to their literary genre – there is some manifestation directly in the computer code of the scholarly thought that underlies the project, of the intellectual argument around which the outcome is based. The fact that scholarly software includes scholarly content is reasonably well-accepted. What remains controversial is the attempt at identification, in any particular instance, of what scholarly contribution has been made by a piece of software. Its makers tend to express the scholarship in writing separate from the software itself, if they even make explicit at all the scholarly reasoning that went into the code; its reviewers and users tend either to treat the software as a ‘black box’, opaque to informed scrutiny and therefore to be looked on with grave suspicion, or to deny that this particular software has any scholarship inherent to the source code. Given that our mechanisms for identifying and evaluating the scholarship within computer code are nearly nonexistent, we must ask: how do intellectual arguments — how does scholarship — come to be expressed in the software of digital humanities? How does this scholarship, so evident in theory but so elusive in practice, fit into the scientific process of advancement of knowledge? *‘Evaluation’, 30 January 2015: Round table on Peer Review for Digital Scholarly Work* *Organizer: Infoclio.ch* Related to the question of the expression of scholarship in software, and in other forms of digital publication as well, is the question of how to evaluate it. This topic will be the focus of a half-day roundtable, Peer Review for Digital Scholarly Work, to be held on 30 January 2015. Digital scholarly works such as Digital Editions, Digital Libraries, Digital Exhibitions, Data Visualization, Geographical Information Systems and the like are increasingly frequent in the Humanities, as main or secondary output of research projects; the question of how best to evaluate them takes on ever greater importance. At the moment, researchers doing digital scholarly work are usually unable to obtain academic credit for their work—in order to obtain scholarly recognition, they must additionally publish a “normal” article in a print-based journal about their digital work. As universities and national research funding agencies across the world move toward encouraging more digital scholarship in the humanities, there is an urgent need to discuss the criteria and benchmarks that should be in place for evaluating digital scholarly work. We welcome contributions about existing initiatives in this domain as well as more theoretical contributions that treat the topic of peer review of digital scholarly work. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2014 18:32:00 +0300 From: Tanja_Säily Subject: CfP: From data to evidence in English language research: Big data, rich data, uncharted data In-Reply-To: From data to evidence in English language research: Big data, rich data, uncharted data ***Conference in Helsinki, Finland, 19-22 October 2015*** To diversify the discussion of data explosion in the humanities, the Research Unit for Variation, Contacts and Change in English (VARIENG) is organising an academic conference that addresses the use of new data sources, historical and modern, in English language research. We are particularly interested in papers discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the following three kinds of data: Big data In recent years, mega-corpora and other large text collections have become increasingly available to linguists. These databases open new opportunities for linguistic research, but they may be problematic in terms of representativeness and contextualisation, and the sheer amount of data may also pose practical problems. We welcome papers drawing on big data, including large corpora representing different genres and varieties (e.g. COCA, GloWbE), databases (e.g. EEBO, ECCO) and corpora created by web crawling (e.g. EnTenTen, UKWaC). Rich data Rich data contains more than just the texts, including representations of spacing, graphical elements, choice of typeface, prosody, or gestures. This is further supplemented by analytic and descriptive metadata linked to either entire texts or individual textual elements. The benefit of rich data is that it can provide new kinds of evidence about pragmatic, sociolinguistic and even syntactic aspects of linguistic events. Yet the creation and use of rich data bring great challenges. We invite papers on the representation, query, analysis, and visualisation of data consisting of more than linear text. Uncharted data Uncharted data comprises material which has not yet been systematically mapped, surveyed or investigated. We wish to draw attention to texts and language varieties which are marginally represented in current corpora, to data sources that exist on the internet or in manuscript form alone, and material compiled for purposes other than linguistic research. We welcome papers discussing the innovative research prospects offered by new and and previously unused or even unidentified material for the study of English in various contexts ranging from communities and networks to social groups and individuals. Abstracts are invited by 15 February 2015 for 30-minute presentations including discussion as well as for posters and corpus and software demonstrations. The following invited speakers have confirmed their participation: Professor Mark Davies (Brigham Young University) Professor Tony McEnery (Lancaster University) Professor Päivi Pahta (University of Tampere) Dr Jane Winters (Institute of Historical Research, University of London) The conference forms part of the programme celebrating the 375th anniversary of the University of Helsinki in 2015 and will be held in the Main Building of the University.

For my online dictionary of Buddhist terms and dictionary of classical Chinese (both at www.buddhism-dict.net), I have been using a near-TEI format for a long time, which is delivered on the web through Perl and XSLT. You can access the entries with the username "guest" (no password). On each generated entry, there is an "XML Source" link on the upper right-hand corner.

The Mellon Fellowships at Rare Book School enable a select group of doctoral candidates, postdoctoral fellows, and junior faculty in the humanities to receive advanced, intensive training in the analysis of textual artifacts. Led by a distinguished faculty drawn from the bibliographical community and professionals in allied fields, fellows will attend annual research-oriented seminars at Rare Book School and at major special collections libraries nationwide. Fellows will also receive stipends to support research-related travel to special collections, and additional funds to host academic symposia at their home institutions. “Rare Book School's Mellon Fellows work on a remarkable variety of materials, including ancient graffiti buried at Herculaneum, medieval Italian song manuscripts, Japanese textbooks from the Age of Discovery, and ‘viral’ news clips from 19th-century America. Over the past two years, they have shared fresh perspectives with their colleagues in the program, and with the greater bibliographical and academic communities,” said RBS Director Michael F. Suarez, S.J. “We are profoundly grateful for all that the Foundation's support has made possible through this program, and we trust that the fellows’ achievements and collaborations will continue to enrich humanities scholarship.” The deadline for application to join the program’s third cohort of fellows is December 1, 2014.

The goal of the symposium is to provide a broad perspective on the evolving directions for semantic text processing, which are likely to impact the industry in this area while influencing academic research as well. The program includes keynote talks of international speakers, an applied tutorial, overview and position talks on recent scientific progress in this field, presentations by European partners in the EXCITEMENT project, as well as a substantial number of presentations from the rich Israeli scene in this area, coming from industrial research, established high-tech companies and start-ups. In addition to presentations, a desk session, where lead companies in this field present their novel technologies, will take place during a lunch reception, allowing interaction and forming new connections between participants. With this broad program and mixture of speakers, we believe that the symposium will be a quite unique and enriching event. The list of talks is given below; the detailed program will be posted to the symposium website in a couple weeks. For more details and registration (registration is free, but pre-registration is needed and urged for your earliest convenience): http://u.cs.biu.ac.il/~nlp/workshop14 The symposium is organized by the EU-funded project EXCITEMENT (http://www.excitement-project.eu/), which developed textual inference methods and provides a comprehensive open source software platform for multilingual textual inference, available to the scientific and technological communities.

This is the second in a series of events organised jointly by the King’s College London Department of Digital Humanities, the Digitised Manuscripts to Europeana (DM2E) project, the Open Knowledge Foundation and the Open Humanities Working Group. The event is focused on digital humanists and intended to target research-driven experimentation with existing humanities data sets. The aim of the hack day is not to produce complete applications but to experiment with methods and technologies to investigate these data sets so that at the end we can have an understanding of the types of novel techniques that are emerging. During the day, we will form groups of computing and humanities researchers that will work together to come up with small-scale prototypes that showcase new and novel ways of working with humanities data. Date: Friday 28 November 2014 Time: 9.00 – 21.00 Location: King’s College, Strand, London Sign up: Attendance is free but places are limited: please fill in the sign-up form to register. More information is also available from http://dm2e.eu/open-humanities-hack-28-november-2014-london/.

ACS 2015. --WORKSHOP AIMS-- Narrative provides a framing structure for understanding, communicating, influencing, and organizing human experience. Systems for its analysis and production are increasingly found embedded in devices and processes, influencing decision-making in venues as diverse as politics, economics, intelligence, and cultural production. In order to appreciate this influence, it is becoming increasingly clear that research must address the technical implementation of narrative systems, the theoretical bases of these frameworks, and our general understanding of narrative at multiple levels: from the psychological and cognitive impact of narratives to our ability to model narrative responses computationally. Special Focus: Cognitive Systems This inter-disciplinary workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Papers should be relevant to issues fundamental to the computational modeling and scientific understanding of narrative. The workshop will have a special focus on the building cognitive systems that are distinguished by a focus on high-level cognition and decision making, reliance on rich, structured representations, a systems-level perspective, use of heuristics to handle complexity, and incorporation of insights about human thinking, meaning we especially welcome papers relevant to the cognitive aspects of narrative. Regardless of its topic, reported work should provide some sort of insight of use to computational modeling of narratives. Discussing technological applications or motivations is not prohibited, but is not required. We accept both finished research and more tentative exploratory work. --INVITED SPEAKER-- Janet H. Murray, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA --ILLUSTRATIVE TOPICS AND QUESTIONS-- - How is narrative knowledge captured and represented? - How are narratives indexed and retrieved? Is there a universal scheme for encoding episodic information? - How can we study narrative from a cognitive point of view? - Can narrative be subsumed by current models of higher-level cognition, or does it require new approaches? - How do narratives mediate our cognitive experiences, or affect our cognitive abilities? - What comprises the set of possible narrative arcs? Is there such a set? How many possible story lines are there? - Is narrative structure universal, or are there systematic differences in narratives from different cultures? - What makes narrative different from a list of events or facts? - How do conceptions and models of spatiality or temporality influence narrative and cognitive systems? - What are the details of the relationship between narrative and common sense? - What shared resources are required for the computational study of narrative? What should a "Story Bank" contain? - What shared resources and tools are available, or how can already-extant resources be adapted to the study of narrative? - What are appropriate formal or computational representations for narrative? - How should we evaluate computational and formal models of narrative? - How can narrative systems be applied to problem-solving? - What aspects of cross-linguistic work has narrative research neglected? --ORGANIZERS-- - Mark A.

The name of the conference is taken from Pennsylvania's official nickname "The Keystone State," and although we encourage proposals from within the state we welcome proposals from anywhere, and from any area of the digital humanities. *** Keystone Digital Humanities, a conference at the University of Pennsylvania with the KeystoneDH Initiative CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS The Keystone Digital Humanities conference will be held in the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, July 22-24, 2015. Proposals are now invited for long presentations (20 minutes), short presentations (7 minutes), and project showcases (10 minutes) in all areas of digital humanities. Presentations may take the form of interactive presentations, short papers, project demos, or panel discussions. We welcome proposals from emerging and veteran students, teachers, and scholars. For more information, visit our conference website at http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/KeystoneDH/. The community will be invited to vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. The 10 proposals with the highest scores are guaranteed a slot at the conference. The Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program in an effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions. Please send your name, email address, and a proposal of 200-300 words to keystonedh.conference@gmail.com. The proposal deadline is January 2, 2015, and community peer review will run from January 15-February 15. Proposers will be notified by March 1. We anticipate that we will have a small number of travel bursaries for graduate and undergraduate students.

Our partners have recommended that our next iteration employ PostGreSQL (for the web application) and Solr (for searching). We are curious to know whether other digital humanities projects (XML-based digital archives in particular) use this combination of platforms. Solr seems to be widely used for faceted searching, but we know less about PostGreSQL and would like to know if other projects have employed it and, if so, what your experiences have been.

I have two reactions and wonder about yours, here invited. The first is in turn fervently to hope for two alterations in communications by e-mail: messages that are actually composed to be read and understood by those with whom the sender is communicating, i.e. formatted with care and some sense of design; and much briefer e-mail signatures that are not CVs struggling to be born. The second is to wonder about the current state of correspondence, i.e. the degree to which it has been twitterified and facebooked. The medium does not prevent one from writing thoughtful letters at length, but does it encourage somehow bursts of utterances that would never survive thoughtful consideration? Or, looking ahead, is there evidence that sustained reading is actually more difficult on screen than on paper? I still, despite the Retina Display, print out anything I need to read closely and carefully. In some respects books are easier to consult, for me principally because they are easier to find, in digital form, but any book I love and respect I buy in print. (And then sometimes cannot find because the Poltergeist of codices runs away with them when I am not looking.) Anyhow, http://five.sentenc.es/ is not Humanist's style. Might that have contributed to its longevity?

In-Reply-To: <20141010045842.AFE8265D1@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Ashley, Postgresql is a quality relational database that has been around a long time. It's reliable and fast, but it is not a drop-in replacement for eXist. Unlike eXist its support for XML is rudimentary. So I'm kind of curious as to why this apparent shift away from XML.

In-Reply-To: <20141010045842.AFE8265D1@digitalhumanities.org> I would be interested to learn why you want to move away from an XML database when the data are XML data to begin with, especially at a time when there is so much talk about the advantages of 'NoSQL'.But if you do the choice between Postgresql and MySQL is probably six of one and half a dozen of the other and has less to do with intrinsic advantages than with what your shop is familiar with.

Amsler" Subject: Re: 28.372 crashing through the barrier of meaning? In-Reply-To: <20141005072023.42B5B6576@digitalhumanities.org> I'd suppose they would say they are too busy to worry about the philosophical limitations of what they are doing when they are making excellent progress with the digital data the world now provides. It may well be true that we're not heading toward a working AI, but that it won't matter because what we are building will be more than adequate to perform much of what we do using human intelligence without any more than its data and logic. Human experience, stored in as yet an unexplained manner in our brains, is today matched by the amount of recorded data from images, video and sound. If we are to believe IBM, Watson, their text question-answering system, can read and find answers to many questions from plain text with almost human skill. Collectively, the human race has recorded a lot of what we experience in representations external to our brain. Those representations, now in bits, can be processed by computers. Computers can be programmed to "see" what we see, recognize faces, license plates, forest fires, lightening, and map terrain with the entire electromagnetic spectrum; seeing in ways beyond human senses. Sure, they don't "contemplate" what those images mean--but when you're counting cars on a freeway, does it matter if your goal is to know how many cars there are? A wise man once told me that computers will be able to do everything we do by reasoning. That isn't everything we do with our brains, only the part that we had to invent methods to carry out. It's enough to run the planet and civilization as we've created it--just not enough to 'invent' civilization. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 94DA7666F; Sat, 11 Oct 2014 08:43:53 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 45B746665; Sat, 11 Oct 2014 08:43:53 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0B4636665; Sat, 11 Oct 2014 08:43:50 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141011064351.0B4636665@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 11 Oct 2014 08:43:50 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.388 using the Medical Heritage Library?

Switching technologies is something best not considered at a whim. This is one of those odd things I see happening a lot in technological contexts. It is like switching from a hole punch to a scissors because your office supplier doesn't know or is not able to deliver hole punchers. Although I sympathize with already overburdened IT support departments, the motivation is solely on the side of the IT capabilities. But one should consider foremost if the project is served. Secondly, in the long run this may be a more costly choice because you'll need to rebuild and add all the XML support that's inbuilt into eXist. Be careful to not to use a hammer to drive in a screw.

We had to rewrite the application 6 years ago so that it could have the impact we wanted it to have (indexed by Google, thousands of visitors/day, etc). It was initially built using Cocoon, Fedora Repository and we rewrote it using the Django web framework, which prescribes a relational database (we went with MySQL because that’s what our IT folks support) and we added full text search using Solr. We were lured by the siren song of making it a general purpose open source application, which never quite panned out IMHO. But the application did scale as we had hoped, and our usage went up by several orders of magnitude. So our stakeholders were happy, and so were we. Being able to get your production IT folks involved in the maintenance of your database can be a big win from a sustainability/sanity perspective. One thing that we did not do in the process of switching was to get rid of our XML based workflow. XML is still used for data interchange between the NDNP partners, and also for data interchange with the future (digital preservation). We needed to write some programs to parse the XML data and load bits of it into MySQL and Solr. In the process of doing this I think we collectively learned more about the shape of our data, and were also able to easily generate some new admin reports that proved useful. So, just because you are considering giving up your XML database does not necessarily mean you are giving up on your investment in XML data. It just means you are using the XML in a different way. Wasn’t that kind of interoperability always the dream/goal of SGML/XML in the first place :-) //Ed PS. On the subject of NoSQL, one thing that you might want to consider is leap frogging over traditional client/server web frameworks (Django, Rails, etc) and creating a REST web service on top of Solr, which is then used by a JavaScript web framework (Boostrap, Angular, Ember, etc). This would allow you to simply use Solr, and not use a RDBMs like MySQL or PostgreSQL. The advantage here is that you won’t have to keep PostgreSQL and Solr synchronized. Also, your API could be used by mobile apps, and third parties. The disadvantage is that you will understand and constrain the logical model of your data less. It might be worth asking if your IT shop supports ElasticSearch in addition to Solr, since it offers a better more API, and was built to scale a bit better than Solr was. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id A55AA65E1; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:36:51 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 679506068; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:36:51 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8FA7A6083; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:36:49 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141015053649.8FA7A6083@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:36:49 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.394 PostGreSQL and Solr for digital archives X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 394.

MySql", namely that you did indeed get rid of your XML-based workflow. > We needed to write some programs to parse the XML data and load bits > of it into MySQL and Solr So by the time it gets to Solr is there any XML left? As I see it, your new workflow no longer transforms XML (that was the Cocoon part, right?), but only uses the XML as a textual repository to do searches. Isn't that a reduction in XML functionality? That would fit in with the general impression of the other examples being made here.

I think my original message didn’t make clear that the Archive has no plans to move away from XML. Our partners know we’re committed to it; they're suggesting that we keep using XML for encoding and archiving but use PostGreSQL and Solr (which they can support) for serving and searching it. This may or may not turn out to be the best way to handle things (“best” being a consideration that has to include “what can be supported”). We’re still investigating, and your thoughts have been most welcome. Ed Summers’s message about the Chronam application (way down at the bottom of this digest) seems pretty close to what we might be looking at, though obviously we don’t have eight million pages to deal with. Blake was prolific, but not that prolific.

On the subject of NoSQL, one thing that you might want to consider is leap frogging over traditional client/server web frameworks (Django, Rails, etc) and creating a REST web service on top of Solr, which is then used by a JavaScript web framework (Boostrap, Angular, Ember, etc). This would allow you to simply use Solr, and not use a RDBMs like MySQL or PostgreSQL. The advantage here is that you won’t have to keep PostgreSQL and Solr synchronized. Also, your API could be used by mobile apps, and third parties. The disadvantage is that you will understand and constrain the logical model of your data less. It might be worth asking if your IT shop supports ElasticSearch in addition to Solr, since it offers a better more API, and was built to scale a bit better than Solr was. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 69EC665E8; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:43:21 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 147126050; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:43:21 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D04626050; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:43:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141015054319.D04626050@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:43:19 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.395 a new discipline X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 395. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2014 13:58:06 +0200 From: Willard McCarty Subject: celebrating a new discipline The Chronicle of Higher Education October 14, 2014 A New Department Marks the Rise of a Discipline: "Computational Media" by Rebecca Koenig Pixar movies, interactive video games, smartphone applications—all are forms of computational media, the marriage of computer science to the arts and humanities. Signaling a deeper investment in that fast-growing if slippery field, the University of California at Santa Cruz announced the creation on Monday of what it called the first computational-media department ever. "There's always been, in the heart of computing, a concern with human communication and media," said Noah Wardrip-Fruin, an associate professor of computer science at Santa Cruz. Mr. Wardrip-Fruin and Michael Mateas, a professor who will become chair of the new department, argued this year in a university report that computational media is an interdisciplinary field, not one that simply applies computer science to arts and humanities projects. The report was supported by the National Science Foundation, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which also expressed their interest in interdisciplinary computer-based research. That's an important message, according to Ian Bogost, an interactive-computing and media-studies professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Researchers in the STEM fields and policy makers sometimes view artistry and ethics as afterthoughts, he said. "We'll kind of sneak that in or spread it like a glaze on top," he said, describing what he perceives to be a common attitude. "There is sometimes a sense that we've decoupled computing from its cultural and artistic and humanistic context, and some of the trouble we might point to in the world we are living in—run by Wall Street and Silicon Valley—is perhaps a result of thinking of everything as just an engineering problem." Georgia Tech already offers a bachelor's degree in computational media, which is run jointly run by its Schools of Interactive Computing and of Literature, Media, and Communication. And other universities are exploring the intersection of computing and the liberal arts. The University of Calgary, in Canada, has a graduate program in computational-media design that's administered by the departments of computer science, environmental design, and creative and performing arts. New York University's Tisch School of the Arts has a Game Center dedicated, according to its website, "to the exploration of games as a cultural form and game design as creative practice." While the products of computational media may often be entertaining, the field is not all fun and games. The kinds of deeply interactive stories found in video games can have more utilitarian applications, too, Mr. Wardrip-Fruin said, such as "embedding people in a rich, fictional social situation instead of reading a training manual." And according to Mr. Bogost, the field encourages students to question the potential purposes and uses of technology. "It's not just What can we make? and Can we do it fast and cheap? but Should we?," Mr. Bogost said. "It's about reconnecting computation to culture and creativity in a way that makes us ask the questions we donÂ't ask about the role of computers in our lives." An autonomous department of computational media, Mr. Bogost said, may be better-positioned to foster those conversations. Santa Cruz's new department will administer the university's extant degrees in computer-game design and in games and playable media. The university will also create new degree programs, as yet unannounced, and hire an unspecified number of new professors. "At some universities, it's hard to do this interdisciplinary research, since people reviewing your work don't understand one of the major elements you're bringing together," Mr. Wardrip-Fruin said. "We'll be able to bring in a junior faculty member with confidence their interdisciplinary research is valuable." Correction (10/13/2014, 5:32 p.m.): This post originally misidentified the position held by Ian Bogost at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He is an interactive-computing and media-studies professor at the university, not director of the graduate program in digital media. The post has been updated to reflect this correction. -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, and Digital Humanities Research Group, University of Western Sydney _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_DBL_ABUSE_REDIR,URIBL_DBL_REDIR autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1B03F65EB; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:45:06 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E620B6068; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:45:05 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CC0116050; Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:45:03 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141015054503.CC0116050@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2014 07:45:03 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.396 PhD studentship at Lausanne; position at Illinois (Springfield) X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 396.

Using computational and data visualization techniques, we explore 13,208 Instagram images shared by 6,165 people in the central area of Kiev during 2014 Ukrainian revolution (February 17 - February 22, 2014). Visualization showing 1,340 images with Maidan tags. Each image is repeated multiple times for each of its tags. (Organized by upload time, left to right and top to bottom). Detail of a visualization showing all 13,208 Instagram images organized by upload date and time (left to right, top to bottom). How does a revolution gets represented on Instagram? What can visual social media tell us about the experiences of people during social upheavals? If we look at images of Kiev published by many global media outlets during the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution, the whole city is reduced to what was taking place on its main square. On Instagram, it looks different. The images of clashes between protesters and the police and political slogans appear next to the images of the typical Instagram subjects. Most people continue their lives. The exceptional co-exists with the everyday. But as we discovered after working with data, the two do not simply co-exist. Their relationships are more complex and more interesting. Visit the project to see our findings. The Exceptional and the Everyday: 144 hours in Kiev continues previous work of our lab (Software Studies Initiative - softwarestudies.com (http://www.softwarestudies.com/) ) with visual social media: phototrails.net (analysis and visualization of 2.3 Instagram photos in 14 global cities, 2013) selfiecity.net (http://selfiecity.net/) (comparison between 3200 selfie photos shared in six cities, 2014; directed by Moritz Stefaner (http://truth-and-beauty.net/) ). In the new project we focus on the content of images, as opposed to only their visual characteristics.

WeÂ’re particularly interested in the challenges and rewards of applying automated (and semi-automated) nominal record linkage to very large-scale historical datasets, with all their variability, fuzziness and uncertainties. In addition to presentations about our work on 19th-century prisoners and convicts, we have three guest speakers who will bring extensive experience of historical record linkage projects from the 17th to early 20th centuries. We would also very much welcome participants from fields beyond history and the humanities with interests in data linkage, including social sciences, health sciences and computer science. When: 2-5.30pm, Tuesday 4 November 2014 Where: Humanities Research Institute, Gell Street, Sheffield For more information see http://www.digitalpanopticon.org/?p=669 Attendance is free but numbers may be limited: please email Sharon Howard (sharon.howard@sheffield.ac.uk) to register. About the Digital Panopticon: we are using digital technologies to explore the impact of the different types of penal punishments on the lives of 90,000 people sentenced at The Old Bailey between 1780 and 1875, and aim to develop new and transferable methodologies for understanding and exploiting complex bodies of genealogical, biometric, and criminal justice data. Our research questions include: How can we improve current record-linkage processes to maximise both the number of individuals linked across different datasets and the amount of information obtained about each individual? What is the minimum amount of contextual information needed in order to conduct successful large-scale record linkage of data pertaining to specific individuals? -- Sharon Howard Project Manager Digital Panopticon Old Bailey Online/London Lives 1690-1800 Humanities Research Institute University of Sheffield sharon.howard@sheffield.ac.uk --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2014 18:04:52 +0000 From: "Downie, J Stephen" Subject: MIREX Grand Challenge '14 User Experience (GC14UX): Volunteer graders sought Dear Colleagues: The Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) Grand Challenge '14 User Experience (GC14UX) task requires volunteer graders to evaluate system outputs. The goals of this grand challenge are to inspire the development of complete MIR systems and to promote the notion of user experience as a first-class research objective in the MIR community. Your assistance will help future researchers and developers build better and more useful music retrieval systems that better meet the needs of real users. We expect each grader to spend approximately 20 - 30 minutes exploring each submitted system. There are three systems this year to be evaluated. Your participation as an evaluator is completely voluntary. For more information about MIREX, please see: http://www.music-ir.org/mirex/wiki/MIREX_HOME For more information about GC14UX and its task instructions: http://www.music-ir.org/mirex/gc14ux/ We are opening evaluations today, 13 October 2014, and will close evaluations Tuesday, 21 October 2014. So, if you are kind enough to sign up to be a grader, PLEASE understand that we REALLY need you complete your assigned grading by 21 October. If you are a GC14UX participant, we ask that you do what you can to encourage adults over 18 years of age to be graders. To register as a grader, please go to: http://www.music-ir.org/mirex/gc14ux/register.php If you have any questions, please contact or Thank you very much everybody. Cheers, Stephen **********EVALUTION INSTRUCTIONS**************************** To evaluate the asigned MIR system we ask you to imagine you have a personal video that you are editing, and you wish to find a suitable audio track to add to the video. In performing this task, please focus on evaluating the interaction and experience with the system as a whole, and not just the results you get. Please be aware that these systems are using an open-source test dataset (Jamendo) that is a collection of open-source music, and therefore the results may not include popular music that many of us are familiar with. After signing up as an evaluator for GC14UX you will be assigned a number of MIR systems to evaluate (by clicking the "Get Assignment" button). The five questions we ask you to consider are: Overall satisfaction: How would you rate your overall satisfaction with the system? Learnability: How easy was it to figure out how to use the system? Robustness: How good is the system's ability to warn you when you're about to make a mistake, allow you to recover, or retrace your step? Affordances: How well does the system allow you to perform what you want to do? Feedback: How well does the system communicate what's going on? There will also be the opportunity to enter general comments in a free-form text box. Once you have completed all the questions for a given MIR system there is the opportunity to return to it and alter any of the ratings you have given it. In our analysis of the results we will take the final set of ratings that were saved. In addition to simply rating the systems, we highly encourage evaluators to provide their feedback in free text. Your comments will not only help us understand important factors affecting user experience, but also help the participants to improve the design of their systems. ********************************************************** "Research funding makes the world a better place" ********************************************************** J.

Many of the papers are relevant for digital humanists, and the day itself is an excellent opportunity to connect with people from the heritage sector. I'm thrilled to announce that our opening keynote is George Oates, the creator of Flickr Commons, who'll take a long view on the digital heritage sector. Our closing keynote, the University of Leicester's Dr Ross Parry, is a deeply thoughtful scholar whose reflections on the 'post-digital museum' will no doubt resonate with many digital humanists. Finally, I'd like to note that the MCG is recruiting new Committee members ahead of the election at our Annual General Meeting on 7 November 2014. Volunteering as a Committee member is a great way to meet people, gain valuable skills and experience, and enhance ones' CV. In helping organise events, discussions and partnerships, it's also an opportunity to help create stronger connections between digital heritage and the digital humanities. More information is available at http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/2014/10/05/call-mcg-committee-members/ Best regards, Mia As Chair, Museums Computer Group, and Co-Chair, UKMW14 Programme Committee The MCG's UKMW14 'Museums Beyond The Web' will be held at the Natural History Museum in London on Friday November 7 2014. We're conveniently located in central London, and you won't believe how much we've packed into just one day! Tickets are just £75 for members (and £37.50 for students/unwaged). Hear expert speakers, connect with other digital museum professionals and come away inspired. Join us by getting your ticket at http://ukmw14.eventbrite.co.uk This year, the focus on technologies ‘beyond the web’ takes us beyond the everyday of ‘online’ and towards thinking about new experiences for visitors inside and outside museum environments. What do you need to know to navigate the challenges wearable, immersive, mobile and haptic technologies are going to throw at you? Come to UKMW14 to learn from the biggest technology companies and small museums working with limited budgets in just one inspiring day. UKMW14 Programme http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/2014/08/12/ukmw14-programme/ Mobile Beyond the Museum A smart phone can be so much more than an enhanced audioguide. This session takes us out of the gallery, onto the streets and beyond even a mobile signal, with practitioners pushing mobile technology to its limits and delivering new experiences. Chaired by Jessica Suess. Box of Delights, Alex Butterworth, Oxford University Museums Box of Delights is a prototype iPhone app that delivers an emergent, geo-located narrative premised on the conceit of a mobile phone audio guide usurped by supernatural forces, whose voices are vying to be heard, a rich narrative experience for visitors that draws inspiration from the museums but takes place beyond their walls. Piloting a mobile collection in the landscape, Anna Rhodes, Buxton Museum and Art Gallery and Ben Bedwell, Wander Anywhere How to meet the potential of mobile to take collections out into the world, when you're a small museums with a limited budget? Buxton Museum share their solution: creating a series of lightweight low-budget pilot mobile tours using Wordpress alongside GPS technology, tested directly with the intended user groups. On Dartmoor nobody can hear you Google, Rick Lawrence, Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery (RAMM) In 2013 RAMM worked with the University of Exeter and 1010 media to deliver a mobile museum experience on Dartmoor, where there is often no mobile or data signal. The solution encouraged users to participate using their phone’s built in technologies and then make the most of any signal. Lightning Talks Deftly chaired by Oonagh Murphy, there's no post-lunch snoozing with these Ignite-style rapid presentations, including: - Google's Pierre Far will share Google's perspective on mobile-friendly designs - It's time to look up - iBeacons turning the physical world into the new digital channel; Jon Little, Kew - Engaging and interactive display of digitised images using the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF); Matt McGrattan, Bodleian Library, University of Oxford and Sean Martin, Independent - Tandi Williams will present the thought-provoking results of the Digital R&D Fund for the Arts Survey - The Collections Trust's Nick Poole will inspire and provoke Connections Beyond the Organisation The most important connections the web makes are the human ones. This session looks at how collaborative digital experiences are created between multiple organisations, how data itself can be better connected, and asks whose purpose digitisation ultimately serves. Chaired by Martin Bazley. Centenary Connections: connecting stories of the First World War, Rebecca Bartlett, Ammba / Nymbol Not every museum department is a digital department, but all departments take part in creating digital content. Imperial War Museum North (IWMN) and the Greater Manchester Centenary Partnership have delivered a connected digital experience across multiple organisations, empowering users to track the lives, stories and impact of WWI across Greater Manchester. Methods for linking real world data, Stephen Brown, De Montfort University Despite the promise of Linked Data, the majority of GLAM records are still unavailable in this format. This paper describes an alternative approach developed by the AHRC funded FuzzyPhoto project, based on semantic matching techniques and fuzzy logic based algorithms which reflect the kinds of choices made by human decision makers. Let them speak, Oluwatoyin Sogbesan Does digitisation in museum represent cultures in their true light or does photographic imaging only portray Western supremacy? This presentation focuses on the need for an inclusive participatory culture that will not only allow openness but also gives voice to the voiceless. Experiences Beyond the Screen Digital media is escaping even the flat screen of mobile phones. Wearable technology and the new generation of virtual reality offer radically immersive experiences: can these easily become part of the everyday museum experience? Google Glass at the MIT Museum: a Visitor Experience Study, Marco Mason, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and University of Leicester The adoption of Google Glass within museums is in its infancy. How can it facilitate visitor engagement? What are the limitations? What are the opportunities? In a partnership sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program at the MIT, the MIT Museum collaborated with a Media Lab student to realize and test a Glassware prototype. Both the design issues and the visitor feedback offer the opportunity to reflect on the design of a new kind of museum experience. Immersive and Pervasive: Museums in Virtual Reality, Tara Copplestone How could new technologies such as the Oculus Rift become the core of a digital museum experience? They have the potential to fundamentally alter the way we mediate our interactions with the internet and this paper will explore a handful of the potentials and pitfalls for this new media format. meSch - Material Encounters with Digital Cultural Heritage, Daniela Petrelli, Sheffield Hallam University The meSch project aims to bridge the gap between visitors’ cultural heritage experience on-site and on-line by providing a platform for the creation of smart exhibits, with which heritage professionals can compose and realise physical artifacts enriched by digital content without the need for specialised technical knowledge. --- UKMW conferences have a proven track record in highlighting best practice in digital cultural heritage through engaging presentations, providing inspiring keynote speakers from within and beyond the sector, and in offering delegates the opportunity to network and learn from each other in a supportive environment. Advance booking is essential. Get your ticket at http://ukmw14.eventbrite.co.uk UKMW14 is sponsored by Faversham & Moss http://favershamandmoss.com .

It is one thing to store data in XML. It is another to mediate the query potential of the XML in such a manner that users can get at it. I call this "decoding the encoded." In the TEI world I'm familiar with quite a few projects with a very "lossy" interface: little if anything of the TEI encoding is actually available to the user. As I understand it, Solr can get you some of the XML encoding with indexing that associates words with some of the information kept in Xpaths. But all of them?? So I'd be interested in the trade-offs involved in transforming XML into SQL in the particular projects Ashley and Ed write about. What gets lost? And who gets to decide whether it matters?

You are most welcome to spin it :-) All I meant to say is that the existing XML based workflow for the National Digital Newspaper Program didn’t change substantially. We continued to receive hard drives with XML, TIFF, JP2 metadata on them, which continued to be moved to archival storage and moved to our access application just as they always had. The access application (Chronicling America) on the other hand did change quite a bit. Rather than storing the XML in Fedora and transforming it on the fly to HTML with XSLT we parsed the metadata we needed from the XML and stored it MySQL and Solr. The Django web application then queried MySQL and Solr to deliver up its views. > So by the time it gets to Solr is there any XML left? As I see it, > your new workflow no longer transforms XML (that was the Cocoon part, > right?), but only uses the XML as a textual repository to do > searches.

However, XML continued to arrive on hard drives, and continued to be used to populate MySQL and Solr. NDNP and Chronicling America are not static or closed: new data is generated and is processed all the time. And that data continues to be primarily XML based, even though we moved Chronicling America to MySQL/Solr. I actually didn’t observe a reduction of XML functionality. In fact I found that the new workflow highlighted XML’s strengths as a data interchange format. Some day (perhaps soon) the access application will be rewritten using a better web framework and database. When that day comes they can reach for the XML data as a data source. I’m not sure if that helps clarify much, but thanks for the response! //Ed _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D6351664E; Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:48:43 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 839CD6612; Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:48:43 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4E7BE6612; Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:48:41 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141016064841.4E7BE6612@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2014 08:48:41 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.401 visiting fellowships at eHumanities Group X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 401.

The quest for a coherent and universal system for the digital representation of music notation has been pursued for decades and the recent accomplishments of the Music Encoding Initiative have garnered a great deal of attention in a wide range of music scholarship and in the broader digital humanities. The encoding of symbolic music data opens new research paths to traditional music studies (from editing to analysis) and computational musicology, and constitutes a foundational tool for music bibliography and librarianship. This conference aims to gather specialists in all these areas, to discuss the current state of modeling, generation and use of music encoding, to exchange experiences, and to forge collaborations. Proposals for papers, posters, panel discussions, and pre-conference workshops are encouraged. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: • music encoding as a theoretical approach for research • methodologies for encoding, music editing, description and analysis • rendering of symbolic music data in audio and graphical forms • relationships between symbolic music data, encoded text, and facsimile images • capture, interchange, and re-purposing of music data and metadata • ontologies, authority files, and linked data in music encoding and description • additional topics relevant to music encoding, editing, and description The deadline for all submissions is 23 November 2014. PDF or Word-compatible files are preferred. All submissions must include: • name(s) of author(s) • title • abstract • current or most recent institutional affiliation of author(s) and e-mail address • proposal type: paper, poster, panel session, or workshop For paper and poster proposals, abstracts of no more than 1000 words, including relevant bibliographic references, are requested. Please also include a short statement regarding your current interests related to music encoding. Panel session proposals, describing the topic and nature of the session and including short biographies of the participants, must be no longer than 2000 words. Proposals for half- or full-day pre-conference workshops, to be held on May 18th, should include the workshop’s proposed duration, as well as its logistical and technical requirements. Additional details regarding registration, accomodations, etc. will be announced on the conference webpage (http://music-encoding.org/conference/2015). Please note: As Florence in May is very crowded by tourists, it is suggested to book your accomodation as soon as possible, and not later than the end of 2014. Many hotels allow to book without any expense. A change would often be easier and cheaper, in case of need, then a very improbable last minute booking. Important dates: - 23 November 2014: Deadline for abstract submissions - 10 January 2015: Notification of acceptance of submission - 18 May 2015: Pre-conference workshops - 19-21 May 2015: Conference If you have any questions, please e-mail conference2015@music-encoding.org.

The two-day *conference* will open up questions related to digitization, cataloguing, and research design, exploring applications of digital tools and methods to diverse library materials, and identifying needs and opportunities in the development of critical bibliography appropriate to 21st-century tools. Leaders in book history, curators and librarians from university and independent research libraries, and innovators in the digital humanities will convene in Worcester to exchange ideas about the past, present, and future of historical information literacy and the archive. The conference has been organized by Thomas Augst and Molly O’Hagan Hardy. Kenneth Carpenter, Carl Stahmer, and Michael Winship will give keynote talks. Papers will be presented by Blake Bronson-Barlett, Matt Brown, Craig Carey, Dawn Childress, Elizabeth Maddock Dillon, Lisa Gitelman, Jacqueline Goldsby, Leon Jackson, Mary Kelley, Lauren Klein, Meredith Neuman, Kyle Roberts, Todd Thompson, and Jessica Showalter. Following the conference, concepts and methods will be more deeply explored in a five-day *workshop *dedicated to practice-based learning in digital humanities in the AAS’s major areas of archival development and research. The workshop will introduce students to fundamental questions about how data is organized and used in contexts of archival development and research. Intended for faculty and graduate students interested in archival research, as well as students in library and information sciences, the workshop will discuss archival practices of acquisition, preservation, and cataloguing, survey best-practices for archival research (both at AAS and other historical archives) and offer hands-on training in project-development utilizing AAS holdings. Topics and exercises will focus on how metadata for archival collections are created, organized and remediated in digital environments, using AAS digital projects as a case study; how special collections collection catalogs are organized based on the specificities of the collection, standardized through authority work, and related to and different from union catalogs; and finally, how decisions about digitalization are made, including questions around optical character recognition, encoding (TEI), tagging, cataloguing formats, and newspapers; how collections are developed and the ways in which digitization impacts that process.

The technical reason for this is, of course, that these applications do not intrinsically support XML, although they can import it. But the underlying reason is that we encoded the XML through the exercise of human judgement and interpretation. It should then come as no surprise that some of that information gets lost when it is read by a machine. What I would like to suggest as a remedy to this situation is that we stop trying to share our data on the *basis* of human-determined tags. Instead we could use HTML and encode the interpretative part as class attributes or as RDFa or microformats. TEI could become an *abstract* set of names defining textual properties, without reference to any specific technology. One way of recording and expressing those properties could be via HTML. If we did that then everyone's files would be interoperable because they would already be in the language of the Web. Of course, we can convert the XML to HTML whenever we want, but we don't seek to share it in that form, we seek instead to share the XML, and we can't, because TEI-XML is not interoperable. And yet, there is nothing in TEI-XML that can't be expressed in some alternative way in HTML. Especially since, according to the recent survey by Burghart, 97% of TEI-encoded texts of manuscripts (and probably a similar proportion of printed texts) just get converted into HTML anyway. So please explain to me why we need to use XML, because I really don't see it.

A survey that hopefully will help to assess the software and technologies used for creation and publishing of digital scholarly editions. The survey is available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/publishing_digital_editions. We are inviting scholars, young researchers, teachers and students involved in any part of the process of creation and publishing of editions to participate in this study. If you have doubts whether your project is an edition or archive project, please complete the survey anyway. If you feel you lack the technical expertise to answer all the questions, do it anyway as best you can and consider asking someone else to complete the survey as well. We are primarily interested with the tools and workflows associated with processes of creation and publishing of digital scholarly resources. Therefore we are especially interested in descriptions of the bespoke tools and pipelines employed in your project so we'd appreciate answering the open questions as fully as possible. The results of the study will be used to help create requirements and develop tools for digital scholarly editions in particular and digital humanities in general. The content written by you in the survey is strictly anonymous and your participation is entirely voluntary. It should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. If you have any questions or require more information about this study, please contact me using the following details: Magdalena Turska - University of Oxford Researcher for Digital Scholarly Editions magdalena.turska@it.ox.ac.uk This study is funded by the European Commission through DiXiT Marie Curie Actions research programme.

I don't think that view is particularly heretical among users of the TEI. That being said, however, a move like the one you suggest isn't feasible for a variety of reasons. HTML is primarily a language for visually formatting text+other media. TEI is primarily for encoding the semantics of text+other media. This means there are a number of mismatches between the TEI Way and the HTML Way which make such a 1::1 conversion very difficult. It may now, given the current state of the technology, be possible to sensibly express TEI in HTML but that doesn't solve many problems by itself. Work is underway to define a "Simple" expression of TEI that has both a data model and a processing model (e.g. TEI elements will have formatting conventions) and this will, I hope, be a stepping stone towards the goal I mentioned in the first paragraph, but there's a lot of work to be done yet. Furthermore, because of its nature, HTML is a moving target in ways that TEI isn't. Having had the experience of migrating old (ca. 10 years or more) TEI SGML/XML collections and old HTML collections, I can tell you the TEI is *vastly* easier to deal with. It makes for a much better archival format. Constraints are good from this perspective, and HTML has very few constraints. "Interchange" and "interoperable" are superficially simple concepts, but the reality is very different. Interchange might mean many different things in different contexts. Adhering to common standards such as TEI and XML makes interchange *possible*, but nothing is going to make it plug-and-play. Lastly, I don't really see a problem with a publishing workflow that has at its core files most users won't access. The TEI files aren't themselves the deliverable to users, it's the viewing and discovery interfaces that they support which most users will want. To have that and a format you can build a sensible editorial workflow around *and* a decent archival format that preserves a great deal of the interpretive work that went into the files' creation seems like a huge win to me.

For this purpose DH ConValidator, a web-based tool is currently under development. It will be made available in early 2015 for authors of accepted papers who will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via this tool. The tool will be able to deal both with common text editor formats (probably docx and odt) and LaTeX documents. For the latter we would like to ask those list readers for help, who submitted abstracts in tex-format in the past: We plan to evaluate which are the packages that are used commonly in those abstracts and therefore would appreciate it very much if you could provide us with the tex-file of your submissions or, if you don't want to share it, the information which packages you included in it. Please send the files or the information about the packages to Evelyn Gius (evelyn.gius@uni-hamburg.de ) who will take care of the package overview. Thank you in advance for your valuable contribution to a much more sustainable solution for the future conference proceedings!

These challenges are brought forth not only by the overwhelming amount of data reported by a plethora of sensing and tracking modalities, but also by the emergence of innovative classes of decentralized, mass-scale communication protocols and connectivity frameworks such as cloud computing, sensor networks, intelligent transportation systems and the Internet of Things. Realizing that traditional techniques have left many important problems unsolved, and in some cases, not addressed, further efforts have to be undertaken in the quest for algorithms and methodologies that can accurately detect and easily adapt to emerging threats. We sense there is a need for gathering a representative set of the most recent undertakings having to do with novel applications of Computational Intelligence (CI) techniques to the defense and security sectors. This volume aims at publishing high-quality research efforts rooted in Computational Intelligence as applied to defense and security problems.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2014 18:52:34 +1000 From: Desmond Schmidt Subject: Re: 28.409 PostGreSQL and Solr for digital archives In-Reply-To: <20141018053716.5026A5FB7@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Hugh and Martin, Please forgive me for attempting to pick apart your arguments, but I think that readers of Humanist have a right to have the facts unravelled, and judge for themselves. 1. HTML is presentation-oriented whereas XML describes logical structure. Direct formatting of elements in modern HTML has long been deprecated. CSS formatting cleanly separates rendition from textual structure in ways that XML cannot match. Of course, XML is *supposed* to store the clean logical structure of the source documents, but as I have been informed on numerous occasions when reviewing other people's TEI-XML, embedding end-result related information directly into the TEI source is now common and accepted practice. Just take a look at the examples in the Guidelines for and some time. HTML *started out* as an explicit presentation format, but it has become the lingua franca of mixed content on the Web, and has been extended with powerful mechanisms for expressing trillions of documents of all kinds. I find it hard to believe that it could not also express the documents that digital humanists seek to record. Are we so different? 2. Using HTML instead of XML would solve no problems Indeed it does solve at least one big problem: it would make TEI-encoded texts interoperable across thousands of applications that already understand HTML. At the moment, given the immense variation in the selection and application of TEI tags, not only is interoperability impossible, but even interchange (that is, lossy conversion in order to re-use a document) is difficult without prior agreement. How are we supposed to work together when the language through which we communicate actually impedes collaboration? 3. HTML is less stable than TEI-XML HTML is in its fifth standardised definition in 22 years. In that time TEI has also had five major revisions, but numerous incremental changes. P5 has gone through *23* revisions since 2007. Furthermore, HTML is strictly standardised by the ISO and W3C. Software vendors are at a disadvantage if they attempt to deviate from the standard. On the other hand, users of TEI are positively encouraged to customise and extend TEI to suit their needs. 4. XML is a better archiving format than HTML This follows naturally from point 3: the more stable a format the better it is for archiving. 5. TEI is easier to type than HTML The exact format of the TEI part is not yet decided, so examples that compare verbosity are not feasible. Also, many people understand HTML already, but have to be trained to use TEI-XML. In my experience of supervising such work, encoders make many mistakes that take years to unlearn, and have to be constantly corrected. As a result, keeping the text consistent, even within a single project, is extremely difficult. As Hugh admits: > It may now, given the current state of the technology, be possible to > sensibly express TEI in HTML Indeed. In that case I ask again, why don't we do it, and all talk to each other in the language of the Web?

Proposals for presentations to run between 15 and 30 minutes (depending on the eventual size of the panel) should discuss the use of original digital tools or methods to support the machine-assisted identification and analysis of formal structures (e.g., meter, rhyme) in poetry in any linguistic tradition. Proposals should involve research that has progressed beyond a general project description, and should foreground specific research questions that have been explored or answered with the help of the digital technologies employed. Proposals should include the name, affiliation, and email address of the author(s), an abstract describing the content and focus of the presentation, and a statement that at least one author of the proposed contribution is committed to participating in the session in person if the proposal is accepted. Proposals should also indicate the authors’ awareness and acceptance of the policy described in the Call for Proposals that reads: “Papers that are submitted as part of a special session may not be submitted individually for consideration in another category.” If you are interested in participating in this panel, please respond to David J. Birnbaum at djbpitt@gmail.com no later than Monday, October 27, 2014.

In fact this could be said to be something von Neumann started in the late 1940s along with so much else. Apart from borrowings of these from computer science, have such metaphors and analogies been cropping up in digital humanities? Biology seems now to be the dominant science, so I expect we would be affected. Have we been? Are we?

I think it's important to distinguish between detailed description of what a source text looks like (for which we use CSS all the time, because it's a great tool for the job), and information intended for the rendering of a text. We do not (or we should not) use any of the current TEI mechanisms for embedding information descriptive of typographical features, layout, etc. in a text for embedding output or processing information. If you know of any such examples in the Guidelines, please report them as a bug. That's not to say, of course, that we may not use embedded information describing the source text to render it for a reader in a similar way; but that's not its purpose. > HTML *started out* as an explicit presentation format, but it has become > the lingua franca of mixed content on the Web, and has been extended > with powerful mechanisms for expressing trillions of documents of all > kinds.

No. But HTML5 (for example) has (I think) fewer than 120 elements, whereas TEI has nearly 600, and we deal with a steady flow of requests for more. TEI has much more descriptive power than HTML. And I would claim that it's much easier to use this descriptive power in TEI XML than it would be to hack it into HTML; to do that, you would have to decide whether (for instance) a element should be expressed as a or a
or a

in HTML, and what its distinguishing attribute should be; and in order to make the results truly interoperable, we would all have to agree on those things, and document them, and create a new Guidelines document to formalize them. The result would be more verbose and less human-readable. > 2.

Most users, when customizing, don't _extend_ TEI; they actually constrain it further. I don't have a single project in which I've introduced anything new into my TEI schema (and I have a lot of TEI projects); all my TEI files should validate against tei_all (the comprehensive TEI schema). We also make every effort to avoid breaking backwards compatibility in any updates to TEI; we have very rarely done it, and in all the cases I can think of since I've been on the TEI Council, only after determining that the change will not materially affect more than a handful of existing users (or no-one at all). > 4.

It's very good practice to generate as many different output formats as you can for reasons of archiving, survivability and interoperability/interchange. TEI is a good one, because it comes with built-in detailed documentation (if you've done a good job with your ODD file). But HTML is another good one, for different purposes. It's easier to produce HTML from TEI than the reverse. > 5.

In all my years of teaching people HTML, TEI and other languages, I've never come across a single person younger than me who has had any problem learning it; nowadays, given all the extra aids we have from tools such as Oxygen, it takes a remarkably short time to get productive with TEI. I've come across a few older people who claim they find it hard, but generally before they've actually made any effort to learn it. > As Hugh admits: > >> It may now, given the current state of the technology, be possible to >> sensibly express TEI in HTML > > Indeed.

Because we'd have to rewrite the TEI Guidelines in HTML in order to ensure we're all using the same expressions in HTML for each of the things that are already well-described in TEI; and the result would be harder to maintain and transform into other things. Cheers, Martin --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2014 14:03:43 -0400 From: Hugh Cayless Subject: Re: 28.414 HTML vs XML for TEI In-Reply-To: <20141019064359.8F581612A@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Desmond, Your "unravelling" seems to me more like erecting strawmen that vaguely resemble Martin’s and my responses, which you can then easily knock over. This is not arguing in good faith. So while I’m happy and interested to discuss these things, I’m not prepared to do so under those conditions. If you want to have a serious discussion, I’m up for it, but if not, this will probably be my last word on the subject. 1. CSS, wonderful as it is, does not transform HTML automatically into a semantic markup language. As proofs, I give you HTML’s seven (!) levels of header, its

tag that isn’t actually a paragraph, and it’s ordered vs. unordered (!) lists. I will buy you a beer if you can explain to me how a make a list that isn’t ordered. HTML has taken some steps in a semantic direction, certainly, but its basic nature hasn’t changed. That said, I do think an HTML flavor of TEI is possible, and in fact steps towards this are being taken. It is not a simple thing, however. And I suspect it won’t look very much like typical HTML. 2. What do you mean by "interoperable"? I’ll simply quote my previous point, as you didn’t address it: >> "Interchange" and "interoperable" are superficially simple concepts, but >> the reality is very different. Interchange might mean many different things >> in different contexts. Adhering to common standards such as TEI and XML >> makes interchange *possible*, but nothing is going to make it >> plug-and-play. I will add that texts are complex things, and what you want to do with yours might be quite different from what I want to do with mine. What does it mean for a Shakespeare play and a documentary papyrus to be "interoperable"? I have no idea. 3. Standards are lovely. Have you ever *seen* HTML in the wild? It’s tag soup. As I said previously, HTML has very few constraints. Yes, you can validate it, but hardly anyone does. What passes for validation is, "Does it look right in a browser? Yes? Ship it!" TEI XML has many more constraints than HTML, and I will repeat my point that this makes it easier to work with during its creation, for anyone wanting to re-use it, and from the perspective of digital preservation. In order to get the same affordances in HTML, we’d have to do a *huge* amount of work, and it might not be possible at all, because progress in HTML, for all that it’s a standard, is driven by big companies, not us poor digital humanists. 4. Sorry, does not follow, because your point #3 does not stand up to scrutiny. 5. I’m not really swayed that much by arguments about verbosity, because there are usually technological solutions to them, for example editors with autosuggest features or domain-specific markup languages with a minimal and restricted syntax which can be expanded to the standard serialization. But: the vast majority of people who create HTML content are doing so in a WYSIWYG editor or with Markdown vel sim.. They don’t actually know HTML. What makes you think TEI-equivalent HTML would be any easier for them to learn than TEI XML? Martin is quite right that as of now, editing TEI XML is much easier than it would be to edit HTML with equivalent semantics. If your TEI encoders are making certain mistakes consistently, it’s very easy to write Schematron rules that will flag those and make the document invalid until they are corrected. This kind of workflow isn’t hard to manage in TEI, which is one reason people use it. In short, XML has lots of advantages that currently make it better suited to the creation and publication of TEI texts than HTML. That might change in the future. TEI will, if it survives, not always be expressed only in XML. But you’re arguing as if a switch to HTML would be easy, and it simply ain’t so. All the best, Hugh _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 19AEA6659; Mon, 20 Oct 2014 08:08:03 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 773426652; Mon, 20 Oct 2014 08:08:01 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8C25B6651; Mon, 20 Oct 2014 08:07:51 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141020060751.8C25B6651@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 08:07:51 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.420 events: digital humanities in Portugal X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 420.

I'm a firm believer in Browning's popular dictum 'less is more'. And less *is* more because those mere 120 elements describe far more documents of far wider variety than TEI-XML. As for deciding what HTML element to map an XML tag to you do that all the time in XSLT, don't you? I never said HTML was a perfect container, but it is a real, not a de facto standard, and augmenting it with RDFa would give you a rich and standards-compliant way to record semantic properties of text. Yes, you'd have to rewrite the Guidelines as a set of standard properties, but it would be less complex by far, not more. Especially as in that form, most of the 600 tags would not be needed.

" The 125,000 EEBO-TCP books encoded in a customised version of TEI p3 were I gather not TEI-conformant.

I stand by my remarks.You cannot get *consistency* in TEI markup without a great deal of effort. It's just too complicated.

I don't think the TEI should make any changes to HTML. All they have to do is specify a list of standard properties, gleaned from the Guidelines as they now stand, that looks like a longer list of abstract Dublin Core properties. I don't think digital humanists should be in the business of specifying their own markup languages. HTML will be the coat-hanger on which the semantic information will be hung. Since 97% of documentary TEI texts (apparently) get converted into HTML anyway, I don't think we'll find it too hard to do that conversion given that the necessary XSLT stylesheets will already exist. 2. What do you mean by "interoperable"? I’ll simply quote my previous > point, as you didn’t address it: > > Here's my definition from my TEI Journal paper volume 7 (soon to come out, unless Martin changes his mind after this): "Interoperability may be defined as the property of data that allows it to be loaded unmodified and fully used in a variety of software applications. Interchange is basically the same property that applies after a preliminary conversion of the data (Bauman 2011; Unsworth 2011), and implies some loss of information in the process. Interchange can thus be seen as an easier, less stringent or less useful kind of information exchange than pure interoperability." As an example, SVG is an interoperable XML format. TEI-XML is not. As I said in the initial post, I think it is unrealistic to expect that we will ever interoperate at the level of TEI tags. Although this was set as a distant goal in P3 and P4: "4.The guidelines should propose sets of coding conventions suited for various applications.... consensus on suitable conventions for different applications proved elusive; this remains a goal for future work." In P5 this was changed to: "the TEI Guidelines define a general-purpose encoding scheme which makes it possible to encode different views of text, possibly intended for different applications, ... no predefined encoding scheme can possibly serve all research purposes". I take this as they gave up, because it really *is* impossible. > > I will add that texts are complex things, and what you want to do with > yours might be quite different from what I want to do with mine. What does > it mean for a Shakespeare play and a documentary papyrus to be > "interoperable"? I have no idea. > > We can interoperate at the level of HTML. That will allow us to share our texts and they will contain all the data that they do now. And semantic Web applications can be used to process the RDFa. As it stands we have to write a custom application every time we want to access someone else's TEI-XML. 3. Standards are lovely. Have you ever *seen* HTML in the wild? It’s tag > soup. Yes, but that's mostly the fault of CMSes. For those who write their own HTML I think we can do better. Most TEI-XML files I see produced contain glaring mistakes, too, like using white space *within* elements to pretty print the XML, or the absolute commonest general mistake is misusing elements for the wrong purpose because the transcriber doesn't know what is in the Guidelines because they are too big. As I said previously, HTML has very few constraints.Yes, you can validate > it, but hardly anyone does. What passes for validation is, "Does it look > right in a browser? Yes? Ship it!" TEI XML has many more constraints than > HTML, and I will repeat my point that this makes it easier to work with > during its creation, for anyone wanting to re-use it, and from the > perspective of digital preservation. Syntax checking and deep structure are features that serve the needs of XML, not the user. Last time I looked, Shakespeare didn't have any angle-bracketed tags in it. It is just black marks on a page. The XML surrogate is in this respect a figment of the transcriber's imagination. So I don't see what the constraints produce, other than enabling the text to be processed in XML applications. That's self-justifying. > In order to get the same affordances in HTML, we’d have to do a *huge* > amount of work, and it might not be possible at all, because progress in > HTML, for all that it’s a standard, is driven by big companies, not us poor > digital humanists. > > Excuse me, but didn't Microsoft have a big hand in the development of XML? They wanted it to for Web application development, or at least that's what James Clark, the lead technical developer of XML says. ( http://blog.jclark.com/2010/11/xml-vs-web_24.html). I wasn't suggesting replacing *TEI* with HTML, but XML with HTML. The TEI part would remain. 5. I’m not really swayed that much by arguments about verbosity, because > there are usually technological solutions to them, Neither am I. But building *general* TEI-capable editors that hide all the markup doesn't work, because there are lots of features of TEI that don't translate directly into formatting. So you end up editing the XML directly, and that's bad from a HCI point of view, because it increases memory load dramatically.Yes, there are some good specific TEI-based editors, but they don't consume general TEI that anyone produces. But with HTML+RDFa that would be possible, because the coathanger of HTML could be rendered in WYSIWYG form. And the RDFa... I don't know. Since it is simple and a standard I think something general could be devised. TEI will, if it survives, not always be expressed only in XML. But you’re > arguing as if a switch to HTML would be easy, and it simply ain’t so. > I think the survival of TEI is threatened by two things: the biggest threat is not adapting it to changes in technology, and that's not just whether XML is fading away, as many now claim. It's also the structure of a TEI file. It's monolithic, it has annotations and metadata and versions all bundled up in the one overloaded format. They can and should be separated out. And secondly it's just too big to comprehend. I could give you a list of bizarre things about TEI which indicate that it needs a thorough clean-out, restructuring and revision (TEI See "Howlers": http://digitalvariants.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/decoupling-tei-from-xml.html ). I feel I agree with you on quite a few points, so don't take these attacks too hard. I *am* trying to be constructive. Desmond Schmidt Queensland University of Technology.

David G. Hays, then of the RAND Corporation, gave a paper at the 1962 conference, The Use of Computers in Archaeology, at Bad Wartenstein, "Simulation: An Introduction for Anthropologists". (The papers were later gathered into a volume of the same name, ed. Dell Hymes, published in 1965.) In the introduction to his paper, Hays says the following: > Simulation is a complex kind of research activity - "laboratory > research on the grand scale" - in which the computer plays an > incidental, small part, but a part that is essential, in that the > research would be impossible without it. This sort of research could > no more have been done before the computer was available than could > factor analysis with matrices of the order of two hundred, yet > simulation is not just an application of the computer. One wonders > whether there will not be many projects of such a sort, projects in > which the computer makes the work possible, but is almost incidental > in terms of its role in the research.

The issue of copyright is of course also fundamental to digitisation and the development of digital methods - for example, one of the reasons why digital cameras cannot be used in the British Library is for fear of inadvertent breaches of copyright. UK Members of Humanist may therefore wish to add their voice to the campaign to ensure that regulations are introduced in the UK before the next general election.

Not any more. I think you must be misunderstanding the purpose of surface/zone markup. The idea here is to be able to link areas on images (typically page-images in a facsimile) to other aspects of markup; so, for example, one might define a zone outlining a stanza in a poem, and link that to a transcription of the poem encoded using and . There are no implications for rendering whatsoever. As I said before, we may use that information in the process of rendering an online facsimile edition (for example); but all it's actually saying is: here is a shape on the page-image, with an @xml:id. > > But HTML5 (for example) has (I think) fewer than 120 elements, >> whereas TEI has nearly 600, and we deal with a steady flow of requests >> for more.

They certainly do, but they're not interoperable on any meaningful way other than that a browser can display them. If I encode my poetic lines with HTML

elements, you encode them with s and a third person delimits them with

" Certainly; and the vast majority of those customizations are in the direction of greater constraint; this allows each project to work with a much smaller subset of TEI which is all they actually need, while still remaining conformant.

All the best, Martin Martin Holmes mholmes@uvic.ca martin@mholmes.com mholmes@halfbakedsoftware.com --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:40:26 +0000 From: Martin Mueller Subject: TEI Simple and HTML vs XML for TEI In-Reply-To: <20141021051843.538966715@digitalhumanities.org> The exchange between Desmond Schmidt, Hugh Cayless, and Martin Holmes is helpful in articulating long-standing TEI problems—whether real or perceived, and the perceived problems are often harder to deal with. It also comes at a timely moment because it does a good job of highlighting problems that the TEI Simple project is trying to address. For convenience' sake I reproduce below an announcement you may have seen before: === Northwestern University is pleased to announce a matching grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for the development of TEI Simple, which seeks to lower the entry barriers to working with TEI documents by combining a new highly constrained and prescriptive subset of the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines with a a "cradle to grave" processing model that associates the TEI Simple schema with explicit and standardized options for displaying and querying texts. A major driver for this project has been the imminent release into the public domain of some 25,000 TEI-encoded texts from Early English Books Online (EEBO), but the project aims more broadly at creating a friendlier and more interoperable environment for working with digital surrogates of books in European languages from the Early modern period into the 20th century. The grant of $51,500 matches contributions of $68,000 in time or money from the Centre for Digital Research in the Humanities at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University of Oxford, the TEI Consortium, and Northwestern University. The principal investigators of the project are Sebastian Rahtz (Oxford), Brian Pytlik Zillig (Nebraska-Lincoln), and Martin Mueller (Northwestern). The Advisory Committee for TEI Simple includes representatives from the German Text Archive, Text Grid, and the Bodleian Libraries. The project is scheduled for completion by August 2015. Once all its elements are in place, TEI Simple will be fully integrated into the TEI infrastructure, and the TEI Council will be responsible for its maintenance and further development. === Much of the lively exchange turned on the question of interoperability. I don't have the technical chops to say much of use about that subject, but it has always seemed to me that this is much more a social than a technical question. If I think of the encoding of a text as something that furthers my project and seeks to share my view of the text with readers we are in the world of "quot homines tot sententiae." That is Latin for "as many opinions as heads," and I quote the Latin to make the point that this insight has been around at least since 200 BCE. If I think of encoding as an act that in addition to furthering my project also creates a data set that can be used by others for their purposes it is a different story. Coarse but consistent encoding across quite heterogeneous data may achieve useful levels of interoperability, by which I mean that I can reuse your data and expect that they more or less follow a common standard. In this regard Literary Studies may have a lot to learn from the Life Sciences, where the maintenance of sharable data has brought major benefits—although from the perspective of the individual scientist it brings its own headaches. Future research projects in the text centric humanities are likely to involve a lot of "mix and match" approaches, where a doctoral student assembles hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of texts from different archives and wants to take advantage of the query potential that comes with TEI encoding. She wants to spend as little time as possible on the "janitor work" that according to the New York Times is the "key hurdle to insights" for Big-Data scientists (http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/18/technology/for-big-data-scientists-hurdle-to-insights-is-janitor-work.html?module=Search&mabReward=relbias%3As%2C%7B%221%22%3A%22RI%3A11%22%7D) She is always going to spend more time on this than she had planned—that is the nature of the beast. But if readily sharable data are a shared goal, there will be less of that "more" . That said, I remember a life scientist who laughed when the subject of shared data came up and said that most scientists would rather share their toothbrushes than their data.

La vidéosurveillance dans l'art contemporain in situ" de Sophie Limare, proposé pour publication à la collection Parcours numériques (http://parcoursnumeriques-pum.ca/ http://parcoursnumeriques-pum.ca/ ) que je codirige avec Marcello Vitali-Rosati aux Presses de l'Université de Montréal. Comme plusieurs d'entre vous le savent, la collection propose des textes de réflexion sur le fait numérique, tout en expérimentant de nouvelles formes d’éditorialisation. Chaque livre est publié en version papier mais aussi en version augmentée en ligne et en accès libre (cf. par exemple http://parcoursnumeriques-pum.ca/introduction-20 http://parcoursnumeriques-pum.ca/introduction-20 ) Parmi les expérimentations de la collection, nous nous sommes donné l'objectif d'essayer de nouveaux modes d'évaluation des manuscrits. Le texte de Sophie Limare est donc proposé en version intégrale en ligne afin de recevoir les commentaires et les remarques de la communauté des chercheurs. Nous croyons que ce processus enrichira le livre et que, à plus long terme, il pourra constituer une alternative efficace au système d'évaluation par les pairs tel que nous le pratiquons aujourd'hui. Dans le cas du livre de Sophie Limare, Marcello Vitali-Rosati et moi-même nous chargerons de travailler avec l'auteure pour l'intégration des commentaires. Nous soumettrons ensuite le manuscrit retravaillé à une évaluation par les pairs traditionnelle. Il va sans dire que la réussite de l'expérimentation dépend de la participation de la communauté des chercheurs. Le manuscrit sera disponible pendant un mois sur la plateforme media common press ici : http://mcpress.media-commons.org/regardnumerique/ http://mcpress.media-commons.org/regardnumerique/ La plateforme est très facile à utiliser. Laissez des commentaires et faites circuler dans vos réseaux ! Merci ! Voici un court descriptif de l'ouvrage : "Décriées par les citoyens, les caméras de vidéosurveillance suscitent, depuis les années 1990, de virulents débats dans les sociétés occidentales. Mais qu’en disent et font les artistes ? Accompagnant tout d’abord la résistance d’une partie de la population, les artivistes contemporains se sont ensuite lancés dans des appropriations esthétiques puis ludiques de la vidéosurveillance. Leurs démarches signent au passage, non pas la fin d’une dénonciation de la société sécuritaire, mais une nouvelle forme de sensibilisation aux enjeux sociaux qui lui sont inhérents. S’éloignant de l’approche foucaldienne qui considérait que l’on surveillait pour punir, certains artistes actuels proposent de sourire et d’interagir vis-à-vis des dispositifs de contrôle visuel de notre société hypermoderne. De Banksy à Jill Magid, de Ai Weiwei à Michael Wolf, cet ouvrage analyse l’histoire récente, mais déjà en transformation, du regard numérique de la vidéosurveillance.” Cordialement, Michael ------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Michael E.

How can understanding the mathematical principles behind our physical world help us to create digital worlds? This book focuses on the programming strategies and techniques behind computer simulations of natural systems using Processing." *From the preface:* "The goal of this book is simple. We want to take a look at something that naturally occurs in our physical world, then determine how we can write code to simulate that occurrence. So then what is this book exactly? Is it a science book? The answer is a resounding no. True, we might examine topics that come from physics or biology, but it won’t be our job to investigate these topics with a particularly high level of academic rigor. Instead, we’re going to glance at scientific concepts and grab the parts that we need in the service of building a particular software example."

Price* *Deadline for Proposals:* January 30, 2015 *Keynote Speaker: Jerome McGann* The Society for Textual Scholarship and Association for Documentary Editing announce a historic joint conference of the two organizations to be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, an international hub for digital editing. Home to the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities and numerous print and digital editing projects, UNL is located in the capital of Nebraska and offers opportunities for exploring the history and geography of the Great Plains. This special joint conference will bring together two organizations with a history and future of interests in studying and editing literary and historical materials. We invite proposals on any aspect of documentary editing and textual scholarship, including (but not restricted to) the discovery, editing, annotation, analysis, teaching, and publication of texts from many disciplines, including history, literature, classics, musicology, philosophy, paleography, codicology, linguistics, art history, the history of science, library and information science, film studies, gender and sexuality studies, ethnic studies, and more. We invite proposals from students. Because this is a unique joint meeting of the two organizations, we are especially interested in submissions on the theme of *convergences and divergences*--papers that examine how different editorial theories and methodologies at times intersect and at others veer apart. What are the histories and possible futures of the two related but distinct editorial traditions of ADE and STS? We see this conference as an opportunity for reflection about editorial traditions and the prospects for textual studies and encourage proposals that explore these topics. Submissions may take the following forms: 1. Papers. Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length, making a significant original contribution to scholarship. 2. Panels. Panels may consist of either three associated papers or four to six roundtable speakers. Roundtables should address topics of broad interest and scope, with the goal of fostering lively debate with audience participation. 3. Posters. Posters showcase projects or present focused topics in a setting that features personal interaction and informal conversation. Posters on works-in-progress are encouraged. To propose a paper, panel, or poster, send an abstract of no more than 500 words to the program committee via the form available at http://go.unl.edu/e8x8 no later than January 30, 2015. The proposal should clearly indicate the format and whether technological support will be required. Please include the name, email address, and institutional affiliations for all participants. *Opportunity for New Editors: Institute for Editing Historical Documents* With funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the ADE offers an additional opportunity in Lincoln in conjunction with the conference: the Institute for Editing Historical Documents, to be held June 13-17 for individuals new to the practice of historical documentary editing. Experienced documentary editors provide instruction in the principles of their field and insight into the realities of their work. For more information, contact Bob Karachuk, Education Director, Association for Documentary Editing, at ade-educationdir@documentaryediting.org. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2014 14:06:54 +0000 From: Andrew Prescott Subject: Bodies of Planned Obsolescence at the V&A Please join us this Sunday for... After the Circuits Died: Exploring electronic waste Sun 26 October 2014, Open session: 10am - 4pm Presentation and discussion: 4pm - 5pm Part of Inside Out Festival In this event, organized by The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum, visitors are invited to follow a group of artists and cultural theorists in a one-day exploration of electronic waste. ‘Electronic waste’ or ‘e-waste’ is a generic term for electric and electronic equipment that have ceased to be of value to their owners. A pile of discarded computers, telephones, printers, and microwaves will be delivered to the museum. This material will be explored by four artists and two cultural theorists, who are specialized in consumer electronics and waste, during a workshop open to visitors. The day will conclude with a presentation of the work-in-progress by the artists, in discussion with the two cultural theorists. This event is part of the AHRC-funded research project ‘Bodies of Planned Obsolescence: Digital performance and the global politics of electronic waste’, which is aimed at exploring and developing strategies in digital performance art, cultural studies, and science, to engage with the political, sociological and ecological issues around electronic waste in countries that export (UK) and import (Nigeria and China) used technology.

I wasn't proposing eliminating anything useful from the TEI scheme, just expressing it in an abstract way for use in more modern, and future technologies. In your example you reduce to the absurd the variability of legitimate but unlikely encodings in HTML for poetic lines. In TEI one can play even wilder games with the same material, because there are many more tags with almost the same meaning, plus looser attribute definitions, to play with: I wandered lonely as a cloud,...
I wandered lonely as a cloud,...
I wandered lonely as a cloud,
I wandered lonely as a cloud, I wandered lonely as a cloud, etc. In TEI an element may contain any one of 196 different types of other TEI elements, and may itself be contained by 53 different types of elements. I don't see how that is highly constrained as claimed. I think you must be misunderstanding the purpose of surface/zone markup. > The idea here is to be able to link areas on images (typically page-images > in a facsimile) to other aspects of markup; so, for example, one might > define a zone outlining a stanza in a poem, and link that to a > transcription of the poem encoded using and .

You have to draw the line somewhere, and the element in question does not describe text. Such information should be external to the textual surrogate, not part of it. Hi Ken, no I hadn't seen that one, but this one springs to mind also: http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=xml,json Perhaps people don't realise how many billions of queries these graphs are based on. The decline is in XML's popularity is very real. Hi Martin, I'm sorry that I don't share your enthusiasm for TEI Simple, as it is described. I can only ask what went wrong with TEI-Lite and TEI-Tite and DTA-basis format and TextGrid baseline encoding that TEI-Simple is going to fix? Could I perhaps interest you instead in basing TEI Simple on *abstract* properties of text rather than a fixed XML syntax? Imposing a strict syntax even at a coarse grained level will I fear not work, because everyone interprets the same codes differently, however simple they are. Any attempt to retrieve information from deeply encoded documents which have been marked up by humans - exactly as you point out in your quote - will have a very poor recall factor, although it will be precise. If your textual enquiry is roughly "find all the quotes in all the lines of all the stanzas of all the poems by Joe Bloggs", a percentage of the elements retrieved will be lost at each level of the hierarchy due to variations in the way those elements are encoded, until you may find no such quotes at all, even though hundreds of them may exist. This is what the DTA already complained about (Geyken et al. 2012). You should also reconsider what Patrick Durusau said in Electronic Textual Editing about the loss of information that variation in the encoding of even a *single* tag leads to. The expressed goal of TEI Tite was to specify *"exactly one* way of encoding a particular feature of a document in as many cases as possible, ensuring that any two encoders would produce the same XML document for a source document." If it succeeded in that regard, I don't understand the need for TEI Simple.

If in there are "no implications for rendering whatsoever" how can you then use, even sometimes,"that information in the process of rendering"? And when not used for rendering, what is its purpose? Surely only to be ignored.

Please circulate as you deem appropriate. Thanks! -- Paul ------------------------------- North Carolina State University's Ph.D. program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media (CRDM) welcomes applications for the 2015-16 academic year. Deadline for applications is JANUARY 15, 2015. The Ph.D. Program in Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media prepares doctoral students to analyze the social, cultural, and political dimensions of information technologies, new communication media, and digital texts and to actively engage with digital media through research, criticism, production, and practice. Students work with program faculty from the departments of Communication and English and with affiliated faculty from departments across the university to study oral, written, visual, computational, and multimodal forms of communication, rhetoric and digital media; to examine the transformation of communication in the context of digital media; and to address the theoretical challenges of innovative, interdisciplinary research. Following the core seminars of the program, students create their own areas of focus in close consultation with our faculty. Recent choices include: * Computer-mediated communication * Digital games and gaming communities * Visual rhetoric * Mobile communication * Writing for new media * Scientific communication * Technology and pedagogy * History and Theory of Digital Media Our students additionally engage in research symposia and interdisciplinary opportunities at NC State University, around the neighboring Research Triangle Park, and internationally. At NC State, CRDM's CIRCUIT Studio is among several hands-on facilities for physical computing and digital media work along with the cutting-edge spaces and technology services at the NCSU Libraries. Starting in Fall 2015, CRDM students will also have an opportunity to pursue a graduate certificate in digital humanities in tandem with their own research trajectory. Our students have an excellent academic and professional placement rate, having found tenure-track positions at Michigan State University, Rochester Institute of Technology, University of North Texas, DePaul University, Nanyang Technology University (Singapore), just to name a few.

I wasn't proposing eliminating anything useful from the TEI > scheme, just expressing it in an abstract way for use in more modern, and > future technologies. If you're not objecting to the more abstract goals of the TEI -- the development and documentation of ontologies for classifying textual features and metadata information related to humanities texts -- then I have no quarrel with that. We currently use XML because it's proved by far the most effective way to encode and manipulate that information. It's perfectly possible to express it all in many different ways, and the TEI expects that at some point in the future, XML will be superceded by something better; but most of us don't believe that is close, and in fact, as schema, query and transformation languages and tools keep getting better, XML is actually working better for us all the time. > In your example you reduce to the absurd the variability of legitimate but > unlikely encodings in HTML for poetic lines. I'm sure I don't. I've seen all of these particular renderings, and I've actually generated a two of the three myself, as part of serious projects. > In TEI one can play even > wilder games with the same material, because there are many more tags with > almost the same meaning, plus looser attribute definitions, to play with: > > I wandered lonely as a cloud,... >
I wandered lonely as a cloud,... >
I wandered lonely as a cloud,
> I wandered lonely as a cloud, > I wandered lonely as a cloud, > etc. But the point is that in TEI, the element is specifically documented as being for this purpose ("contains a single, possibly incomplete, line of verse"). Nothing can prevent a user from choosing to encode something in an alternative manner, but they would be departing from the Guidelines in doing that, and they would know that they were doing so (unless they hadn't bothered to consult the Guidelines). In HTML, there is no prescribed or recommended way of encoding a line of verse; we would all have to make up our own systems, or agree on a convention -- which is what the TEI is. Incidentally, Brett Zamir (IIRC) proposed a very straightforward way of serializing TEI as HTML5 using HTML5's custom data attributes; I believe this would be non-lossy and reversible. So if you want your TEI as HTML5, you can do that perfectly well. You could even encode it that way in the first place, but I believe that would be hard work because, unless you created a custom HTML5 schema to help you, you wouldn't have any of the prompts and helpful constraints the TEI XML schemas provide for the encoder. > In TEI an element may contain any one of 196 different types of other > TEI elements, and may itself be contained by 53 different types of > elements. I don't see how that is highly constrained as claimed. That's precisely my point: TEI is huge, and one of the first things we do when starting a TEI project is to further constrain it so that it contains only what we need. We produce schemas and documents which are highly constrained, but which all (typically) conform to "tei_all", the big schema which includes everything. > I think you must be misunderstanding the purpose of surface/zone markup. >> The idea here is to be able to link areas on images (typically page-images >> in a facsimile) to other aspects of markup; so, for example, one might >> define a zone outlining a stanza in a poem, and link that to a >> transcription of the poem encoded using and .

Images are texts; most of us have seen them as texts for a long time. Here's an example of an image which is a text: http://mariage.uvic.ca/anth_doc.htm?id=la_femme_battant -- not only because it's a text-bearing object, but also because it's laden with symbolism and cultural information. It's encoded in TEI, and annotated and rendered in such a way that (we hope) it's a little more accessible to modern readers. The TEI encoding also enables us to search the entire text collection as a whole, retrieving not just hits in texts, but also fragments of images like the one above, in the same collection: http://mariage.uvic.ca/search.htm?quickSearch=poule > You have to draw the line somewhere, and the element in question does not > describe text. In the case of the most straightforward use of (in a digital facsimile encoded in TEI), it links an area on a representation of an original source page to the transcription of the text which appears there, or to editorial commentary on it. > Such information should be external to the textual > surrogate, not part of it. I'm not sure I understand this. It is "external" in that it's part of the component of the TEI file, not the ; and it can perfectly well be external in a more literal sense by storing it in a separate file. But there's no reason why it shouldn't be encoded in TEI. > no I hadn't seen that one, but this one springs to mind also: > http://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=xml,json > Perhaps people don't realise how many billions of queries these graphs are > based on. The decline is in XML's popularity is very real. I would say that people don't have to search for something once they know what it is and have a basic understanding of it. But any comparison on XML and JSON is really apples and oranges anyway; they have different uses and purposes. > I'm sorry that I don't share your enthusiasm for TEI Simple, as it is > described.

My main interest in the TEI Simple proposal personally is probably going to enrage you even further: it promises to provide a mechanism for formally specifying a processing model for a TEI ODD. I'm interested in this because a) it looks like it might result in abstract hierarchical class structures for TEI elements, instead of the flat class system we currently have, and that intrigues me; and b) at the moment, I don't think it can actually be done successfully, but far brighter people than me do, and I want to see how it's going to work out. > Could I perhaps interest you instead in basing TEI Simple on > *abstract* properties of text rather than a fixed XML syntax? I think Chapter 23 of the Guidelines does draw a distinction between the TEI abstract model and its current XML incarnation: http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/USE.html TEI is currently expressed in XML; it was formerly expressed in SGML, and it will probably be expressed in something else in the not-too-distant future. But its abstract model is the embodiment of an ongoing debate in a large community about what the salient features, components and aspects of "texts" are; and that model (currently) claims that there is something we might call a "paragraph", and that it's recommended that you encode it with a

I agree completely with this. It's one thing that TEI Simple is intended to help with, by limiting itself to one method of encoding any given feature. But we do not encode merely for interchange and interoperability; we encode for the purposes of our own project. We may then downsample or convert in some slightly lossy way to improve the chances of successful interchange; and I wish we did that better, and more. I'm hoping to talk about that next year at DH in Sydney. > The expressed goal of TEI Tite was to specify *"exactly one* way of > encoding a particular feature of a document in as many cases as possible, > ensuring that any two encoders would produce the same XML document for a > source document."

Why? Is it so strange that I would choose to use some of the information I've encoded _about_ the source text, when I come to render a version of it for a reader? Even copying a Unicode codepoint from the transcription to the rendered page does this, surely? > If in there are "no implications for rendering whatsoever" how can > you then use, even sometimes,"that information in the process of > rendering"?

Well, as in the example above, you can use it for searching text collections that contain graphical texts, for instance.

There’s a disconnect between RDF and structured markup that makes me think such a mapping would not be trivial, so again, you’re underestimating the level of difficulty involved. But leaving that aside, an XML-based workflow means a single source document can be used to produce (for example) one or more HTML views, indices, documents for indexing in search engines (e.g. Solr), print-ready documents, and RDF for Linked Data. The workflow story with HTML isn’t so clear, likely because HTML is usually a destination format, not a source format. So you’re arguing for doing a huge amount of work in order to migrate to a less-usable format. I don’t rule out the current of affairs changing, but it’s what we face now. I believe in incremental development, not throwing out working processes in favor of theoretical shiny things. > "Interoperability may be defined as the property of data that allows it to > be loaded unmodified and fully used in a variety of software applications. > Interchange is basically the same property that applies after a preliminary > conversion of the data (Bauman 2011; Unsworth 2011), and implies some loss > of information in the process. Interchange can thus be seen as an easier, > less stringent or less useful kind of information exchange than pure > interoperability." That’s a fair definition. But I don’t see it as a sensible goal for anything other than very standard TEI. To put it another way, interoperability might be a goal of a specific customization of TEI, but it’s not something I’d be interested in imposing on TEI as a whole. People want to do different things with different kinds of text. >> We can interoperate at the level of HTML. That will allow us to share our > texts and they will contain all the data that they do now. And semantic Web > applications can be used to process the RDFa. As it stands we have to > write a custom application every time we want to access someone else's > TEI-XML. I’m not seeing any specifics there. So we’ll be able to open each others’ texts in a browser? Fine. I promise you the RDFa (or whatever) data it is won’t be consistent. > Syntax checking and deep structure are features that serve the needs of > XML, not the user.

These constraints help control certain types of error and they give us hooks to hang conventions and documentation on. That kind of error checking is completely absent for HTML/RDFa. With TEI-in-HTML you’d have about 50 flavors of . How would we keep them straight? > But with HTML+RDFa that > would be possible, because the coathanger of HTML could be rendered in > WYSIWYG form. And the RDFa... I don't know. Since it is simple and a > standard I think something general could be devised. The HTML would render. Sort of. But where’s the win here? I still don’t see what being able to open my document directly in a web browser is going to gain me beyond being able to view it in a web browser. I’ll give you a very small example: If I have a document with this in it, I will want to render that for a reader as [this], with brackets around it. I could delegate the insertion of those brackets to CSS content, but I don’t want to, because my user won’t be able to copy and paste it. So CSS isn’t enough, I need CSS + Javascript that mutates my document dynamically in the browser. This is perfectly possible to do, but I’ve just replaced my supplied tag with something like this (and incidentally, it could not be so simple if we’re really using RDFa) plus jQuery or something, plus code to grab all my spans with type supplied and reason="lost" and wrap them in square brackets, all of which has to be in, or linked from, my TEI HTML document. And that’s all so it looks ok when someone opens it. The HTML format, improved as it is, still forces me to embed presentation. And I’ll point out again that the presentation view is only one use I might want to make of that document. It’s just not an improvement on any level. The discussion has moved on a little bit, so I’ll also address the decline in popularity of XML. In a nutshell, I don’t care even a little bit that XML was one the primary data interchange format and now it isn’t. We’re all better off not being forced to use it for configuration files or to load snippets of data into web pages, and the demise of abominations like SOAP is to be celebrated. So? There are thriving communities using XML for mixed content applications—the same sorts of things SGML was good for back in the day. The volume of use cases is much smaller than the list of things XML was used for at the height of its popularity, but that’s OK. The XML explosion was fashion-driven to a large extent, and fashion is a dumb reason to pick a tool. It still works very well for the sorts of things TEI tries to do. When there’s a better alternative, I think the TEI should adopt it. HTML is not (yet) a better alternative. What I’m seeing in your argument is a desire to impose order on an ecosystem from the top down. There is always this tension between the need to standardize and the need to customize—by the latter I don’t mean necessarily to alter the specification itself, but to choose to mark certain features of a text and not others. If I understand your arguments, you feel TEI provides too much flexibility and would be better expressed in a format that is more general and has less expressive scope, but is easy to work with, particularly from a web-publishing perspective. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable opinion, but I hope you’ll forgive me if I don’t share it. All the best, Hugh /** * Hugh A.

I'm confused as to why you can't just drop the database out of the django/mysql/solr and keep everything else the same - couldn't you just use, say, Rails or Django with SOLR for both the API and interface and skip the database component if the files are indexed correctly to support your requests?

What would you build the REST web interface with, if not a traditional client/server framework like Django or Rails? I'm a little curious about the suggestion of AngularJS and Ember, because I always thought of those as application frameworks for single page interactive apps (like gmail) which would be overkill for a site that was primarily a straightforward presentation of data/content, especially when one wants to provide static URL's and very accessible, SEO friendly content by default.

In hindsight I probably should have left that PS off my email … since it wasn’t terribly relevant to the discussion. > I'm confused as to why you can't just drop the database out of the django/mysql/solr and keep everything else the same - couldn't you just use, say, Rails or Django with SOLR for both the API and interface and skip the database component if the files are indexed correctly to support your requests? (I realize Django or Rails might be overkill if you're skipping the ORM, but they're still useful in many other respects.) You certainly could do that. However, there are lighter weight Web frameworks for situations where you aren’t using an RDBMS and are serving up JSON instead of HTML. Django and Rails both come with Object-Relational-Mapping tools that often want to at least connect to a database, even if you’re not using one. They also come with lots of machinery for HTML templates, which isn’t really necessary when you are making JSON available. > Isn't SOLR itself a REST web service? What would be the advantage to building an API on top of what SOLR provides? (Or using Elasticsearch if you preferred that API?) Yes, if you are using a traditional server side web framework (Django, Rails, etc) you could certainly just use Solr’s (or ElasticSearch's) HTTP API directly. If you are using a client side JavaScript framework you could have it talk back to Solr/ElasticSearch, but that means opening up access to Solr/ElasticSearch to the world. You have to be careful that you don’t allow people to modify/delete stuff, which can be tricky sometimes. Sometimes you don’t want to expose everything in the database (user data, etc). If you create your own REST service in front of Solr/ElasticSearch it lets you put some thought into what resources you want to expose, and how you want to make data available (URL patterns, etc), independent of the backing database. In theory it would allow you to change your backend database without having to change your web application much. More importantly other applications that might be using your API would not have to change when you changed the database in some way. A separate REST API also gives you a place to manage keys, quotas and authentication if you end up wanting to make the API available to other people. > What would you build the REST web interface with, if not a traditional client/server framework like Django or Rails? There are lots of options, depending on what your language preference is. I tend to use Python a fair bit, and have enjoyed using Flask on a few projects. I’ve also found Node’s Express framework was pretty handy for web services that need to be able to hold lots of HTTP connections open for streaming. If you start googling just look for ‘microframework’ and your preferred programming language you will probably find some stuff. > I'm a little curious about the suggestion of AngularJS and Ember, because I always thought of those as application frameworks for single page interactive apps (like gmail) which would be overkill for a site that was primarily a straightforward presentation of data/content, especially when one wants to provide static URL's and very accessible, SEO friendly content by default. I'm seeing lots of people suggest them as general use frameworks for all kinds of sites, though, so I'd love to hear the arguments for a more general use. Yes, that’s a fair criticism. They are oriented around web “applications” rather than web “sites”, and unless precautions are taken your content can be invisible to Googlebot, which kind of defeats the purpose of putting the content on the Web in the first place. But Google are increasingly executing JavaScript on web pages [1]. So if you have a sitemap that points to the views in theory their coverage should be getting better. I think the main reasons why JavaScript web frameworks are increasingly popular these days is that a) they tend to be more interactive/responsive and b) they require you to create a REST API, which can be used by mobile applications, and third parties. //Ed [1] http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2014/05/understanding-web-pages-better.html _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 03A5C783E; Sat, 25 Oct 2014 10:17:03 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B73EE7835; Sat, 25 Oct 2014 10:17:03 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3E791782A; Sat, 25 Oct 2014 10:17:01 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141025081701.3E791782A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 10:17:01 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.438 the frailty of Big Data and machine learning; academic freedoms X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 438.

Anyway who knows me, or who's attended any of my recent talks knows that I don'€™t feel that Big Data is a delusion at all; rather, it'€™s a transformative topic, one that is changing academia (e.g., for the first time in my 25-year career, a topic has emerged that almost everyone in academia feels is on the critical path for their sub-discipline), and is changing society (most notably, the micro-economies made possible by learning about individual preferences and then connecting suppliers and consumers directly are transformative). But most of all, from my point of view, it'€™s a *major engineering and mathematical challenge*, one that will not be solved by just gluing together a few existing ideas from statistics, optimization, databases and computer systems. I.e., the whole point of my shtick for the past decade is that Big Data is a Huge Engineering Effort and that that'€™s no Delusion.

So I'll answer all the current points and then stop. What it has revealed to me is the need to research this topic further, and that it cannot be resolved by a discussion on Humanist. > XML will be superceded by something better; but most of us don't believe > that is close, and in fact, as schema, query and transformation languages > and tools keep getting better, XML is actually working better for us all > the time. It rather depends on who you ask. If you ask someone who has a vested interest in the continuation of XML then of course they are going to say these kinds of things. I only go by what James Clark said in the link I sent earlier (http://blog.jclark.com/2010/11/xml-vs-web_24.html), that XML is being replaced by JSON as a Web technology. He said that 4 years ago and this has pretty much happened since. As to the question of it as a mixed content technology I see it as dependent on the Web use of XML. I don't want to crystal-ball gaze but for those of us who have seen big technologies come and go before the pattern is clear. "So what's the way forward? I think the Web community has spoken, and it's clear that what it wants is HTML5, JavaScript and JSON. "(note the absence of XML) And he should know: he invented the name XML, wrote the first XML-parser (I think), and XSLT. He's Mr XML if anyone is. Humanists need to be insulated from that kind of change. That is why I was urging that TEI be made abstract, not bound to changeable technology. > In HTML, there is no prescribed or recommended way of encoding a line of > verse; we would all have to make up our own systems A good point. The question is, does it really matter? What are we going to do with that information? I'm not sure that semantically knowing that something is a line is going to help us "understand" anything about the text. Probably all we want to do is format it. > TEI is huge, and one of the first things we do when starting a TEI project > is to further constrain it so that it contains only what we need. Even when you "constrain it" you're still defining a specific markup language that hasn't existed before. Once you do that you are required to write software that can process that language. You might get by with a generic stylesheet, but for any anything more you're binding the encoding to custom software. So forget about interoperability from that moment on. > Images are texts; most of us have seen them as texts for a long time. > Here's an example of an image which is a text: Yes, every text is also an image. But the difference here is the humanistic way of classifying of images versus text and the software engineer's perspective. The TEI Guidelines are software. To make software work well requires that every part has a clearly defined role. The markup of does not refer to any feature of text. It describes a region in an image. The reference to the image file itself requires the existence of that file in the environment. Giving the transcription to someone else without that file, at that resolution, with that format will break the transcription. It's not logical but highly specific markup that treats XML like a word-processor. > Such information should be external to the textual > > surrogate, not part of it. > > I'm not sure I understand this. If I say that's abstract.The environment in which the textual surrogate is used can supply a file linked to the "5". It can even be in a database. It can be any size, any resolution, any format. If I say Suddenly all that generality goes out the window. In the same way the element and its are not general specifications.They impose a link between the transcription and its external environment that makes it brittle, not reusable. > But any comparison on XML and JSON is really apples and oranges anyway; > they have different uses and purposes XML is mostly a Web technology. It's also a mixed-content technology, and that's where the apples and oranges come in. No one is suggesting that JSON is a substitute for XML in that role. As a Web technology it's more like the different between Granny-Smiths and Russets. > My main interest in the TEI Simple proposal personally is probably going > to enrage you even further: it promises to provide a mechanism for formally > specifying a processing model for a TEI ODD. Oh no, I'm not enraged at all. I'm smiling. Tying it down to one processing model defeats the whole purpose of using XML in the first place. But what intrigues me is the difference between yourself and Martin Mueller. You want more TEI elements and he wants less. > But its abstract model is the embodiment of an ongoing debate in a large > community about what the salient features, components and aspects of > "texts" are; and that model (currently) claims that there is something we > might call a "paragraph", and that it's recommended that you encode it with > a

It should be much more. If it is included in the TEI Guidelines for all to use, you have to consider the needs of our new colleagues in South America, Mexico, India, Japan and the rest of Europe. I thought GO::DH had changed all this. See you in Sydney!

Except that I don't see XML as a "working process". The spin I would put on "shiny new things" is that we need to work backwards from user needs, not forwards from what we already have. Technical realisations are a secondary consideration. I thought that microformats or a basic use of RDFa would do the trick. Because all we need to say is "this piece of text has this property. I'm not sure we want to reason from TEI texts, or not in the way envisaged by RDF. > interoperability might be a goal of a specific customization of TEI, but > it’s not something I’d be interested in imposing on TEI as a whole. People > want to do different things with different kinds of text. I'm sorry I don't follow the logic here. A specific customisation of TEI is by definition not interoperable. People definitely want to collaborate, not so much to share texts but to build tools that work across texts. That's the real advantage of interoperability. > That kind of error checking is completely absent for HTML/RDFa. With > TEI-in-HTML you’d have about 50 flavors of . How would we keep them > straight? I think you're exaggerating a tad. HTML5 has its own syntax. ( www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/syntax.html) I'm not suggesting that we deviate from that. > I’ve just replaced my supplied tag with something like this (and > incidentally, it could not be so simple if we’re really using RDFa) What's wrong with this? That validates in http://rdfa.info/play/. I'm not sure you need the typeof attribute in this example. The question is, what do you want to say about that property? What does it belong to? Not to itself, as you are saying here. We can combine "supplied" and "lost" in this case since there will be no practical limit on the number of properties. Or we can just use microformats. > What I’m seeing in your argument is a desire to impose order on an > ecosystem from the top down.

Consider this: TEI as an abstract specification, not bound to any technology, with all the cruft cleaned out, a specification agreed to by the full *community* of digital humanists, not just the Americans, British and a few Europeans, or paid-up members. It would be a specification that could be realised in three forms: a) XML, b) HTML+microformats/RDFa or whatever c) plain text+external markup and any other forms or technologies that come into being in future. That would be useful to a much wider range of people than at present. And no, I don't think it is a pipe dream. It is realisable if you try.

If you can accept it, I shall write it out. Or tangentially, one of the first "shaggy dog" stories, which I read in 1938 or so in a New Yorker anthology my mother had from the Book of the Month Club. I shall wait to hear from you about the first option; but here is the Shaggy Dog applicable [from the Depression era, to be sure]: A poor man, long on the dole, and miserably reviewing the Job Wanted ads in the newspaper, happens upon a posting: LOST: A HUGE BLACK SHAGGY DOG. ANSWERS TO THE NAME OF REX. Reward: 500$. Ask for McGonnigle at ### Fifth Avenue, Penthouse Door. Our McSmith sitting reading this in the Union Square Park looks up and sees a huge, black shaggy dog with a studded collar of cut semi-precious stones, and a tag. It reads REX. He takes hold of the friendly beast, takes off his belt to tie it to him and walks all the way uptown to ### Fifth Avenue. The doorman lets him in, and up he flies in the elevator, Rex at his side. Ringing the bell at the penthouse door, he waits until a pleasant, well-dressed man opens it. Inquiring if this is the dog advertised as Lost, he says, I found Rex, your shaggy black dog. The man replies, Not that damned shaggy! And slams shut the door. So much for Big-Data...?

What Jordan hasn't noticed, at least in this interview, is the enormous epistemological problem posed by research which turns on Big Data. Even research like mine (almost entirely what we call "theoretical") has been profoundly affected by Big Data in the form of JSTOR et al. Whole disciplines are being affected. So, indeed, I think it's no solution to anything, and its representation as such is the boondoggle. > > Comments? > > Yours, > WM > > > On 26/10/2014 08:03, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: >> Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 440. >> Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London >> www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist >> Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org >> >> >> >> Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 20:17:56 +0100 >> From: Em Tonkin >> Subject: Re: [Humanist] 28.438 the frailty of Big Data and machine learning; academic freedoms >> In-Reply-To:<20141025081701.3E791782A@digitalhumanities.org> >> >> >> Also worth checking out - a blog post by Jordan about the interview >> process and outcome: >> >> >> https://amplab.cs.berkeley.edu/2014/10/22/big-data-hype-the-media-and-other-provocative-words-to-put-in-a-title/ >> >> '"The Delusions of Big Data and Other Huge Engineering Efforts'. >> It took me a moment to realize that this was the title that had been placed >> (without my knowledge) on the interview I did a couple of weeks ago.

We work with the management of digital archives. We have a strong mix of librarians, systems engineers and software developers with deep experience in the planning and creation of digital repositories. We’ve implemented a few digital humanities solutions that marry XML and Solr, using the Islandora stack. (http://islandora.ca/) They involve an interaction between Fedora as the backend repository, a Drupal database as a middle layer (usually mysql, but POSTGres could be implemented if required) and Solr for the discovery layer. Fedora gives us an extraordinarily robust back end. When changes are made to the data we can see who did it, and when. All changes can be rolled back non-destructively. Drupal allows us to access and display the stored data. Data can be viewed in a number of different interchangeable ways, XSL transforms can be done on the fly, and stored data can be edited interactively. We support both TEI and standoff markup, and editing can be done either within the site or externally in the tool of your choice. Solr allows us to combine navigation and discovery to allow virtually instantaneous access to selected data. The security of the underlying data allows us to re-index Solr as needs change without compromising the integrity of the project. All information on the Drupal website can be exposed as RSS feeds, or as REST endpoints. You can see some background on our company here – discoverygarden.ca. You can contact me at alan@discoverygarden.ca if you have any questions. - Alan The William Blake Archive is in the process of migrating our site off of > the eXist platform as part of a larger reimplementation and redesign > project.

If you are talking just about how humanities faces big data because of things like JSTOR, then the epistemological problem is not new, right? We always knew there were far more journal articles, monographs, information, and data out there than we would ever be able to find and to gauge. Maybe digital archives just put that problem more clearly in our face. That again is an effect of what we call tongue-in-cheek Daniel O'Donnel's first law of computing: problems are not so much created through computing, but they are magnified manifold by it. But epistemologically until now we mostly treat this problem the same way as we did in the library age. Stephen Ramsay has succinctly described this in "The Hermeneutics of Screwing Around"[1]. We create our individual paths through a selection of knowledge guided by peer feedback. That is how we have answered that problem until now: discourse. So indeed the problem is not new, and only getting bigger–or clearer. Natural language processing, text mining, machine learning, and other tools still in the make may lead us to answer this epistemological problem differently in the foreseeable future. By more advanced forms of distant reading for instance. But these tools are still very much in the makers' labs. Which is where a lot of the DH effort should go I think. Our epistemology seems way too important to me to let it be dictated by computer science alone. … Allow me to add a point about the interview with Michael Jordan. I found it somewhat amusing that he would comment on the idea of the singularity basically saying it is outer academy nonsense, yet a few lines on he notes: "I don’t think most of us think the Turing test is a very clear demarcation. Rather, we all know intelligence when we see it, and it emerges slowly in all the devices around us. It doesn’t have to be embodied in a single entity. I can just notice that the infrastructure around me got more intelligent. All of us are noticing that all of the time." To me that signals a case of academic ethical blind spot. I am not suggesting researchers must be their own ethical referees, but relegating issues of ethics and societal impact beyond the realms of academia and to the–implied unimportant–domain of fiction, strikes me as dangerously dismissive of reflecting on what your research may cause. y.s., Joris [1] Which was at http://www.playingwithhistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/hermeneutics.pdf, but that site experiences trouble as I write this. Hopefully it will return, and otherwise I hope Ramsay may tend to renewed open publication.

We could say, and I would agree, that *in principle* the problem is very old. But that's not how we used to think. When I wrote my dissertation on Milton's Paradise Lost in its relation to biblical and classical literature (late 1970s-early 1980s), it was still assumed that I would read everything that had been written on that topic, e.g. all criticism up to that time, all the major works of Greek and Latin literature, all of Augustine and so on. I did read quite a bit but not all. I did actually finish the thing, though it took me 8 years. I would assume that nowadays if anyone at all works on Milton no such assumption is made. There are thresholds past which different things happen. The problem I was really thinking of was, however, not merely the known or estimable volume of relevant literature but the ease with which I can find out about and obtain items. The failure of mechanisms for retrieving items with the best precision/recall ratio in combination with natural curiosity in combination with that ease is the difference that has made a difference. A threshold has been reached, I have crossed it and nothing will ever be the same again. The microscope (or I should say all kinds of microscopes) only magnify. You could say all that stuff has always been there, so what's the big deal? I'd say, go read Hacking's "Do we see through a microscope?" and then think again. So I'd argue that yes, we do have a new epistemological problem, at least in practice.

Memorization was not despised, on the contrary it was admired. It seems to me that modern science, whether accidentally or deliberately, demoted memorization, because corpora of big data acquired an authority which was not to be argued with. Copernicus, Galileo et al learned how dangerous it was to question received authority. Anyway, here are some examples of big data from the Near East and at home with which I am familiar. To this day many Muslim boys memorize the entire Quran in their childhood, and it is considered an achievement worthy of celebration. This means that the reader of Arabic poetry immediately will spot a reference to the sacred book, and enjoy his find. There were many who memorized professionally. I recall reading about a man who could recite a thousand poems beginning with the letter alif, i.e. this was just the beginning of his corpus! An outstanding scholar like Avicenna wrote 450 books on astronomy, alchemy, geography, geology, psychology, logic, mathematics, physics, poetry and theology. He probably had a good library there in Uzbekistan, but he had no access to the Internet, and must have internalized a vast store of information. Islam also has the Hadith, a vast corpus of sayings ascribed to the Prophet, of which various collections have been made. Each will have an isnad, a chain of the authorities who handed the tradition down. In the Jewish world, the Pharisaic tradition, which is the source of orthodox Judaism, possesses a vast corpus of Oral Law and Midrash, the "sea" of the Talmud which was originally entirely oral, and only came to be written down when it was feared that it might be forgotten. Anciently, there were men who would professionally memorize the tradition, and quote it on request to the students. Many scholars of this tradition, who study in the Talmudic academies or Yeshivot, have an intimate knowledge of this huge corpus. I was told on good authority that Rabbi Koppel Kahana (Kagan), author of several books on Jewish and Western Law, would allow students to stick a pin through a random page of the Babylonian Talmud, (in which the pagination is standard in all printings) and he would then declare the word on the other side of the page. The traditional reading of the Law of Moses, which occurs regularly in all synagogues, is from a consonantal Hebrew scroll, which has no vowels or neumes which define the cantillation, as are found in the printed text. Any deviation is pounced on by the congregation, and must be read correctly. Nearer home, Edith Sitwell in her delightful book English Eccentrics tells of an Oxford professor (whose name escapes me) who knew the Latin and Greek classics by heart. On one occasion he was traveling in a stage coach where a young man was trying to impress some ladies by quoting Sophocles. The professor pulled out from his cloak a miniature edition of the complete works of the author, and said: "Young man, I do not recall that quotation. Pray show it to me." The deflated young man shouted to the driver: "Stop the coach. I want to get out." At Haberdashers' school in London in the 1940's I was obliged to learn 14 lines of prose or poetry weekly. It was not a bad idea.

Here is a problem I've noted before but found in a new place, in Grim et al, "Computational modeling and philosophical analysis", Youngman and Hadzikadic, eds., Complexity and the human experience (2014). The philosophers note, > In their final form, papers in scientific computational modeling > always look perfect: They appear to be the work of a rational > investigator who thought things through step by step in advance: from > methods, to results, to discussion and conclusion. It is appropriate > that these papers look that way -- beneficial with regard to brevity, > evaluation, and use in future work. That is how we want our work ... > to look eventually. > > Of course, the polished published form of a paper can give an > entirely misleading impression of the research trajectory -- the > impression that both the conceptual work at issue and the path of > design and programming were neat, tidy, and foreordained. Almost > inevitably, they were not. What makes the above especially relevant to us, I think, turns on the fact that research computing is not only mutable (as of course are all things, even if we choose not to notice) but moves quickly in the scale of human life. The argument goes that since such work as ours is, or should be, in principle ragged, we should heed Latour's advice (in "The Politics of Explanation") to show the work of making things as they finally are rather than want what the last sentence of the first quoted paragraph above says we should want: something that appears as if had come to us a finished object, the outcome of some inevitable logic, rather than as the result of a struggle. Recently I had a lively argument with colleagues over the proper style for articles in the journal that I edit (Interdisciplinary Science Reviews). It became quickly evident that as well as varying a bit by age and social status, ideas of style more interestingly varied by discipline. It became evident that at least for some, style rather quickly became a matter of what they thought their discipline was all about -- roughly along a spectrum between a practice that discovers reality versus one that makes things real. Where do we situate ourselves? Comments?

EpiDoc, for example, is a customization of TEI designed for the encoding of ancient texts. It's widely used in epigraphy and papyrology. I could see people wanting those kinds of texts to interoperate. What I don't see easily combining is my contract for the lease of oxen in 10 BCE with a genetic edition of Faust. The editors of those documents just aren't going to be concerned with the same kinds of encoding. And that's ok. > > I’ve just replaced my supplied tag with something like this > (and > > incidentally, it could not be so simple if we’re really using RDFa) > What's wrong with this? Here's where RDF is a problem. What's the subject of that triple? I assume it's the document in your formulation, but that seems semantically not quite right to me. I suppose you can make anything work by convention, but encoding things in RDFa implies you're going to be able to extract triples from it, and I think that's a problem. If I were going to do this for real, I think I'd use data attributes. > Consider this: TEI as an abstract specification, not bound to any > technology, with all the cruft cleaned out, a specification agreed to by > the full *community* of digital humanists, not just the Americans, British > and a few Europeans, or paid-up members.

It may surprise you to know I agree entirely that TEI needs to move towards being an abstract specification. We've discussed this very thing at TEI Council meetings in fact. What you refer to as "cruft" though, are the parts of the TEI infrastructure that actually work, and that do the work of publishing the Guidelines, generating schemas, etc.. So we can't just throw them out. There will have to be a process of transition. I'd quite like to see JSON and markdown-ish text on that list too. It sounds to me like we agree on a lot of things, even if not on the feasibility of doing those things quickly. I hope your trip to London is a safe and productive one!

(Livestream available) Dear Digital Humanists, The next digital history seminar at the Institute of Historical Research in London is on Tuesday 4 November at 5:15pm (John S Cohen Room 203, 2nd floor, IHR, North block, Senate House). We hope you will be able to join us, and please share this message with anyone you think may be interested. We will be live-streaming the event ont he website blog for those of you who cannot be in London (http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/). Interrogating the archived UK web: Historians and Social Scientists Research Experiences *Abstract: * The emergence of the WWW has been one of the most profound and influential phenomena of the last twenty years. One of the dominant features of the WWW is its changing nature both in terms of content and its technological underpinnings. The content of the WWW is an immense resource full of potential for academic researchers both in its current state and in its previous constantly changing forms. Over the last decade, in particular, archives of WWW materials have been emerging. These archives are still very much in a nascent form but are beginning to be made available and to be utiltised by a range of scholars. The UK Web Archive hosted by the British Library is at the forefront of trawling and making available for researchers archived versions of the UK WWW dating back to the 1990s. It is currently engaged jointly with the Institute of Historical Research (IHR) and the Oxford Internet Institute (OII) in the ‘Big UK Domain Data for the Arts and Humanities Project’ (BUDDAH) where a new research interface is being developed in conjunction with a number of humanities scholars who are at the same time exploring the UK Web Archive to identify its strengths and weaknesses for academic research. Peter Webster will introduce Web Archiving, the BUDDAH project and the new research interface, while Gareth Millward and Richard Deswarte will relate their experiences in using the resource to research respectively the history of disabled people and accessibility on the WWW, and Euroscepticism. *Speakers:* *Dr Gareth Millward* is currently a Research Fellow at the Centre for History in Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He has research interests in disability and government policy, and more recently notions of the ‘public’ in British vaccination programmes. For the BUDDAH project he is researching disabled people and the Web. *Richard Deswarte* is a Lecturer in Modern European History at UEA with research interests in the European idea and integration, as well as Digital Humanities. On the BUDDAH project he is examining the presence and rise of Euroscepticism. *Dr Peter Webster* is currently the British Library lead on the BUDDAH project and Web Archiving Engagement and Liaison Officer at the BL. Alongside scholarly interests in Web Archiving and Digital Humanities, Peter researches on the history of religion, the Anglican Church and the relation between church, law and state in 19th and 20th century Britain. --- We hope to see you thereAdam Crymble Convenor, Digital History Seminar Lecturer, Digital History, University of Hertfordshire adam.crymble@gmail.com @adam_crymble _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 09C089A22; Thu, 30 Oct 2014 09:06:07 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 86E2999DE; Thu, 30 Oct 2014 09:06:07 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E769099B2; Thu, 30 Oct 2014 09:06:05 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141030080605.E769099B2@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 09:06:05 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.452 Big Data no boondoggle X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 452.

In prior digests, there has been discussion on modeling, and mathematics by way of computing (which is built on mathematics). Models may operate similarly to microscopes in that they create new abstractions that can alter our epistemology. Jay Forrester’s System Dynamics is a way of seeing (via a hydraulic analogy), as is using the method of diffraction for generating new knowledge of matter. -p Paul Fishwick, PhD Chair, ACM SIGSIM Distinguished University Chair of Arts & Technology and Professor of Computer Science Director, Creative Automata Laboratory The University of Texas at Dallas Arts & Technology 800 West Campbell Road, AT10 Richardson, TX 75080-3021 Home: utdallas.edu/atec/fishwick Blog: creative-automata.com --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2014 21:57:22 +0100 From: Joris van Zundert Subject: 28.447 Big Data no boondoggle In-Reply-To: <20141029080130.8B7A48F92@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Just to make sure: I wasn't wanting to be flippant, I sincerely was looking for the questions behind your question. To recapture and really get this correct let me try to paraphrase… The epistemological problem here is that we know ever better there is more that we do not know, but we also know that the more we uncover that it is always with caveats of imprecision and false negatives. And most importantly we have little clue how the digital layers between us and the data affects our epistemology. You write: "A threshold has been reached, I have crossed it and nothing will ever be the same again." Does this mean that for you our episteme has been 'amplified' but at inconvenient epistemic ramifications? I am now very much intrigued about the nature of these epistemic uncertainties, if they are that. To humanists that tend to reason abductively, building syntheses based on narrative logic, the greater visibility of the fact of 'too many data, too many texts' could very well be unsettling, because we cannot delude ourselves anymore with the hubris of 'having read it all'. This implies more than just the platitude that we are getting to know better how much we do not know. The problem is: how do we argue the validity of our narratives knowing that many data may not have been covered by it? Still coherence of argument goes a long way, I would suggest. But indeed it feels as if we are getting in an epistemic unbalance. How will we argue and referee once we find an article primarily based on text mined data diametrically opposed to the conclusions of a well argued, well written, fully bibliographically referenced coherent hermeneutically styled reasoning? Another uncertainty could be that increasingly we will find narratives that will be augmented with analytic results from 'big data' analysis. Most certainly our tools are imprecise in recall, so we know we are getting sub-optimal answers–and even if they were perfect they would miss what is not or can not be digitized. But more importantly I think: the queries and the query algorithms of these tools are always (certainly still at this time) a highly imprecise translation of the questions that we want the recalled documents to answer to. The theory and practice of building software and computational algorithms strikes me as far more blurred and multiform even than those underpinning what we can reason about seeing with a microscope. That is where I think some urgent epistemological questions are waiting for us: how do we evaluate the inner hermeneutics of algorithms? They are not right because they work, is the point. These are indeed important epistemological problems. My guess is we actually agree on that. That would not further the discussion very much. On the other hand, I may hope I'm still missing half of the problem.

See below, those who watch and wonder about communication among scholars and practitioners (with hopes that these two overlap to a high degree). I propagate the request for forgiveness and the question somewhat modified: if people like us are not using lists, how do they communicate in sentences of length rather than having to 'like' something? How are arguments made, attacked, defended? I realise that I show my age in the field by wanting it to be one within which people do more than tweet, like and the like. And perhaps I show my age in other ways as well :-), for example in abstaining from many ways of making noise online. So I ask. Hope comes to me at least from the fact that Humanist continues to grow in number of members, though I mourn the fact (if it is a fact) that medievalists talk less or not at all in sentences online.

Other than the occasional query giving rise to an extended thread on M-R, Mediev-L, and rarely these days, MedTexL, it seems as if content has disappeared from many forums, except the TMR book reviews, whose format doesn't allow for discussion.

I have no reason to think that lists are dying. In my discipline, the Religion in South Asia (RISA-L) and Buddhism (H-BUDDHISM) mailing lists seem to be going as strong as they were fourteen years ago when I joined them. Conversely, there was a mailing list for alternative academic careers called WRK4US which transitioned to a forum website called Versatile PhD (which could push forum posts to email); my participation dropped rapidly when this happened, because I could no longer respond to a post with a simple "reply" but had to go log into the website, find my password, get to the right page, etc. Email often feels like an antiquated technology nowadays, especially when The Kids These Days say they think it's for old people. But it's really not. So far it has proved remarkably resilient.

We welcome papers describing archaeological applications of network science, with a particular focus on the treatment of space and time in these applications. Please find the abstract below for more details. The call for papers for CAA2015 is now open, the submission deadline is 20 November 2014. The full list of CAA2015 sessions can be viewed and papers submitted here: http://caaconference.org We will also host a practical workshop at CAA2015: Introduction to exploratory network analysis for archaeologists using Visone (abstract below). Registration for this workshop will open at a later date. ----- Geographical and temporal network science in archaeology Tom Brughmans and Daniel Weidele Formal network techniques are becoming an increasingly common addition to the archaeologist’s methodological toolbox. Archaeologists have adopted these techniques mainly from the fields of social network analysis, physics and mathematics, where they have been developed and applied for decades. However, network science techniques for the analysis or visualisation of geographical and long-term temporal phenomena have seen far less development than those for social and technological phenomena. Conversely, archaeology has a long tradition of studying long-term change of socio-cultural systems and spatial phenomena, a research focus and tradition that is a direct consequence of the nature of archaeological data and our ambition to use it as proxy evidence for past human behaviour. We believe this spatial and temporal research focus so common in archaeology could inspire the development of innovative spatial and temporal network science techniques. This session welcomes archaeological applications of formal network science techniques. It particularly encourages elaboration on the geographical and temporal aspects of applications. What are the implications of working on large time-scales for the use of network science techniques and the interpretation of their outputs? How can the study of long-term change of social systems inspire the development of innovative network science techniques? What advantages do geographical network approaches offer over other spatial analysis techniques in archaeology? How can the long tradition of studying spatial phenomena in archaeology inspire the development of innovative network science techniques? Introduction to exploratory network analysis for archaeologists using Visone Daniel Weidele and Tom Brughmans Network science techniques offer archaeologists the ability to manage, visualise, and analyse network data. Within different archaeological research contexts, network data can be used to represent hypothesised past social networks, geographically embedded networks like roads and rivers, the similarity of site assemblages, and much more. A large number of software programs is available to work with network data. Visone is one of them and offers a number of advantages: • Free to use for research purposes • A user-friendly interactive graphical user interface • Innovative network visualisations • Exporting publication-quality raster and vector files • The incorporation of statistical modelling techniques This workshop introduces the basics of network data management, visualisation and analysis with Visone through practical examples using archaeological research questions and datasets. The workshop is aimed at archaeologists with no required previous experience with network science. Participants should bring a laptop with Visone installed (download Visone: http://visone.info/ ) Maximum 20 participants. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2014 12:08:01 +0000 From: James Cummings Subject: DH@Ox Lecture: "Visualizing Literature: Trees, Maps and Networks", Jan Rybicki, 6 Nov, IT Services Some of you in the UK may be interested in this Digital Humanities at Oxford invited lecture. Dr Jan Rybicki uses the R programming language and statistical computing environment to visualize literature for analytical purposes. The talk is free to all and open to the public. If you wish to register please see http://courses.it.ox.ac.uk/detail/OIBD but registration is not necessary, and those outside the University of Oxford are also invited. === Title: "Visualizing Literature: Trees, Maps and Networks." Dr Jan Rybicki, Assistant Professor at the Institute of English Studies, Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland. Thursday 6 November, 17:30-18:30, Evenlode Room, IT Services, 13 Banbury Road, OX2 6NN. Abstract: Stylometry, the study of countable elements of (literary) language, has reached a critical moment in its development. It has transcended its earlier application in authorial attribution; it now aims at testing and challenging or confirming the existing models of literary history by going through more data than a traditional literary scholar ever could: big collections of texts that are analyzed with a whole new arsenal of quantitative statistical methods that rely on various distance measures to establish new, or confirm the old, patterns of similarity and difference between the oeuvres of individual writers, groups, genres, themes, traditions... But in doing so, stylometry now faces a new challenge of how to visualize such a big amount of literary and linguistic data. === -James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings@it.ox.ac.uk Academic IT Services, University of Oxford _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id F1846AB38; Sat, 1 Nov 2014 09:50:45 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A0A34A5BE; Sat, 1 Nov 2014 09:50:45 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 29B7DA536; Sat, 1 Nov 2014 09:50:43 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141101085043.29B7DA536@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2014 09:50:43 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.458 lists not dying X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 458.

It is also mirrored on a Facebook page and in the googlegroup fa.philos-l. It is in no danger of dying! I do note that there is much less discussion on such lists than there was in the beginning - there are other fora for rapid exchange of views and queries (and I do, as listowner, discourage prolonged exchanges on list, since most members prefer to use the list for jobs, conference announcements and calls for papers). But the list is also used to ask for help to find a paper that cannot be located online, or even to seek collaborative help with a puzzle.

The novels are in the public domain and available in full color and high resolution, although not OCRed for various reasons. They are what we've called "pocket fiction" dating from the late Meiji (1868-1912) and Taisho (1912-1926) periods, and are small, mass-market paperbacks never intended for long-term use or preservation. Thus Penn's effort has not only made these quite rare books available to the global research community, but also provided a way to save them for posterity. We're also embarking on a project to enhance their cataloging, which can be viewed in the "More Information" tab above the page images. Penn is the only owner of some of these books in the world. You can view more information about the collection in Japanese/Korean library specialist Mike Williams's blog post here: http://uniqueatpenn.wordpress.com/2013/04/23/early-taisho-japanese-juvenile-pocket-fiction-tachikawa-bunko-and-its-imitators/ And view the collection itself at Print at Penn: http://devdla.library.upenn.edu/dla/print/search.html?fq=related_names_facet%3A%22Japanese%20Juvenile%20Fiction%20Collection%20%28University%20of%20Pennsylvania%29%22 Please share widely, and enjoy!

True enough, the historical influence of Aristotelian logic over the centuries is something of a common denominator in Western philosophy. But Aristotelian logic certainly was not alone (see stoic logic for instance), not to mention non-western logics. Even within the Aristotelian tradition there is significant variability. Furthermore, as is well known, in the 19th century logic as a discipline underwent a radical modification, with the development of mathematical logic. The current situation is of logic having strong connections with multiple disciplines - philosophy, mathematics, computer science, linguistics - which again illustrates its multifaceted nature. The changing scope of logic through its history also has important philosophical implications: is there such a thing as the essence of logic, permeating all these different developments? Or is the unity of logic as a discipline an illusion? What can the study of the changing scope of logic through its history tell us about the nature of logic as such? What do the different languages used for logical inquiry - regimented natural languages, diagrams, logical formalisms - mean for the practices and results obtained? This workshop will focus on both the diversity and the unity of logic through time. Topics may include: - Historical analyses on what specific logicians or logic traditions considered to be the nature and scope of logic. - Historical analyses illustrating differences in scope and techniques with respect to the current conception of logic, but also suggesting points of contact and commonalities between these past traditions and current developments - Historical and philosophical discussions on the place of logic among the sciences and its applications/relations with other disciplines, now and then. - Discussions of the logical monism vs. logical pluralism issue in view of the historical diversity/unity of logic over time - General philosophical reflections on what (if anything) the diversity of scope and practice in the history of logic can tell us about the nature of logic and the role of universal logic as such.

Please consider submitting. This year’s conference theme is: *Many Faces, Many Voices: Intersecting Borders in Popular and American Culture* COMPUTER is broadly defined as any computational device, whether smartphone or abacus, and any form of information technology, including the origins of concepts of interactive text, which may predate computational devices as traditionally conceived. CULTURE is rooted in the concept of cultural meaning. We ask not just operational questions such as, "How do people communicate using computers?" but questions of meaning such as, "What does it mean when people communicate using computers instead of using pre-computer approaches to communication?" Along these lines, we are interested in communication as well as creative practices/applications and how computer technologies shape them. "Computer Culture" can be understood in a variety of ways: ● the culture of the computer, that is, as computers interact with each other, what culture do they have of their own? ● the culture around the computer, that is, (sub)cultures associated with the production, maintenance, use, and destruction of computers ● the culture through the computer, that is, explicit treatment of how computer mediation influences cultural phenomena that exist or has existed in forms that did not involve computer mediation, and what these influences mean ● the culture by the computer, that is, the ways in which new (sub)cultures or (sub)cultural phenomena have arisen because of computers and understandings of these given awareness of the nature and/or workings of computers Example questions associated with Computer Culture would include, but not be limited to: ● What implications are there because of the powerfulness of (computer/information) technology, and are these implications beneficial, detrimental, inevitable, or avoidable? ● What are the cultural origins of computers, computer/information technologies, and practices associated with them? What is the descriptive and prescriptive outlook for the conditions of those cultural forces associated with those cultural origins? ● How do cultural forces (such as changes from one generation to the next, trends in education or society, or other cultural phenomena) impact (and are impacted by) computer/information technologies/market-forces, and what do these impacts (in either direction or both) mean? Paper topics might include (but are not limited to) those that address: ● issues of (re)presentation through computers (website analysis and design), ● methods of discourse involving computers (blogging, Twitter, social networks, viral video, live feeds), ● theories focused on the relationship between computers and culture, uses of computers in particular contexts and the impacts thereof (computers and pedagogy, online literary journals, etc.), ● the relationship between computers and cultural forces (such as news, politics, and terrorism), ● security/privacy/fraud/surveillance and computers (online security issues, spam, scams, and hoaxes), ● creative practice, web art, generative and digital art, virtual performance, ● the self, the “second self,” identity formation/negotiation, anonymity ● “cyberkids,” internet youth cultures ● data visualization and digital geographies ● hashtag thinking, communities, data organization and archives While we will consider any relevant paper, we have a preference for those that involve transferable methodological approaches. This is an interdisciplinary conference, and other conference attendees would benefit from being able to adapt your research methods to their future research. Scholars, teachers, professionals, artists, and others interested in computer culture are encouraged to participate. Graduate students are also particularly welcome with award opportunities for the best graduate papers. More information about awards can be found at http://southwestpca.org/conference/graduate-student-awards/ Specifically, we would like to highlight the following award opportunities: ● The "Computer Culture and Game Studies Award" ● The "Heldrich-Dvorak Travel Fellowships" Given how papers may often fall into multiple categories, there may be other award opportunities listed at http://southwestpca.org/conference/graduate-student-awards/ which would be appropriate for your paper. (However, each presenter may only apply for one – not including the Travel Fellowships, which can be in addition.) If you wish to form your own panel, we would be glad to facilitate your needs. This conference is a presentation opportunity. Visit http://www.journaldialogue.org/ http://journaldialogue.org http://www.journaldialogue.org/ for information about the organization's new, peer-reviewed journal, Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy. Please pass along this call to friends and colleagues. For consideration, *submit 100-200 word abstracts and proposals for panels by Saturday, November 15, 2014* to the conference’s electronic submission system, which can be found at: http://conference2015.southwestpca.org/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id BF69F8BBB; Mon, 3 Nov 2014 11:48:47 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D36348B4E; Mon, 3 Nov 2014 11:48:46 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C90538B3A; Mon, 3 Nov 2014 11:48:43 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141103104843.C90538B3A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 3 Nov 2014 11:48:43 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.465 events: NHC Summer Institute in Digital Textual Studies X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 465. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 03 Nov 2014 10:41:22 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: call for applications: Summer Institute in Digital Textual Studies National Humanities Center Summer Institute in Digital Textual Studies Call for Applications http://nationalhumanitiescenter.org/digital-humanities/ The first of the National Humanities CenterÂ’s summer institutes in digital humanities, devoted to digital textual studies, will convene for two one-week sessions, first in June 2015 and again in 2016. The objective of this Institute is to develop participantsÂ’ technological and scholarly imaginations and to combine them into a powerful investigative instrument. Led by Willard McCarty and Matthew Jockers, the Institute aims to further the development of individual as well as collaborative projects in literary and textual studies. Overview The Institute will focus on the problematic intersection of textual humanities and digital computing and will emphasize the transformative effects of each upon the other. It will involve both reasoning about text with digital tools and constructing tools to extend the scope and depth of reading. Moving recursively from formulating questions to experimental probing of text, the Institute will be both theoretically and practically oriented. Through direct practical work, participants will be able to engage with and analyze new styles of reasoning offered to the humanities by digital computing. This engagement will involve participants in a struggle to bring together the logic and formal language of computing with modes of reading and questioning traditional to the humanities without dilution of either. The Institute is conceived as theoretically agnostic and unrestricted as to language, disciplinary approach or historical period; close attention to text and/or to data derived from textual corpora will serve as the basis for theorization. Among other topics, participants will be asked to reflect on what is now possible in digital textual studies and what is not, and on the means by which the traditional strengths of the humanities—development of interpretive skills and critical evaluation; sensitivity to historical context; and close observation of particularities—might enhance computational approaches to cultural phenomena. The InstituteÂ’s conveners aim to make explicit the questions that humanities scholars ask, before translating them into actionable manipulations and explorations of data at both the small and large scales (a.k.a. close and distant reading). By transforming these data into multiple forms and formats, it is hoped that new patterns and insights will emerge along with new means of communicating these insights through an indefinitely flexible medium. Unlike many summer schools and camps in digital humanities, the Institute is not primarily concerned with technological training, rather it aims at developing a hands-on, practically oriented technological imagination. Tools change, methods come and go. Much impressive work has been done and can be done, but in comparison to the demands of research in the interpretative disciplines, the power of digital humanities is mostly potential. So much remains to be discovered, invented and put to the test that only the scholar with a technologically educated imagination will be able to remain a productive participant in the digital aspects of his or her research. Hence the problem that the Institute is dedicated to address.

We are particularly interested in hearing from the digital humanities community, please consider submitting an abstract. Details are in the attached PDF, pasted below and available here: http://dpassh.dri.ie/DPASSH-2015-CFP.pdf Apologies for cross posting but please disseminate widely. Submission deadline is 26th January 2015. Kind Regards, The DPASSH Organising Committee Call for Papers: DPASSH 2015 The 1st Annual conference on Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities “Shaping our Legacy: Safeguarding the Social and Cultural Record” hosted by the Digital Repository of Ireland Dublin, Ireland 25-26th June 2015 On the last day of June of 1922, the western block of Dublin’s Four Courts exploded, engulfing the Irish Public Record Office in flames. As smoke billowed from the eighteenth-century construction and the fire brigade struggled to bring the flames under control, debris fell onto the surrounding Dublin streets, and the Irish Times reported that a priceless library was left in ashes. The fire, caused by the outbreak of the Irish Civil War, hit at the heart of government records, destroying hundreds of years of Irish history that had been housed centrally since the 18th century. A few days after the fire, the Provisional Government issued a notice asking citizens to return to public custody any and all of the burned fragments of the public record that had “blown to other districts.” In the current digital age, our social and cultural record is also at risk, but its degradation occurs over time. Instead of burning rapidly, digital records are threatened by a slow-burning fire that can go undetected as a result of insufficient data management practices. Additionally, the preservation of our digital social and cultural heritage is subject to domain- and community-specific requirements. These issues demand that we reflect critically on the purpose of digital preservation, and ask fundamental questions about how requirements should shape our practices. Similar to the public appeal in 1922, we are looking for public, academic and industry engagement on the issue of digital preservation, to help identify the fragments that have been, or are in danger of being lost, as well as to build the digital preservation strategies that will shape and safeguard our public record. To address the complexities of long-term digital preservation in the social and cultural realms, we are hosting the first Digital Preservation for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (DPASSH 2015) conference, titled “Shaping our Legacy: Safeguarding our Social and Cultural Record.” The conference will take place on June 25-26, 2015 at Croke Park, in Dublin, Ireland, and will include international keynote speakers, networking, expert panels, peer-reviewed papers, and posters. Submissions are invited from all sectors and perspectives (academics, researchers, students, industry, cultural heritage institutions, preservation infrastructures, etc.) for a variety of presentation formats that critically reflect on all areas relating to digital preservation in the humanities and social sciences, arts, and cultural heritage sectors. Conference themes include but are not limited to: • Cultural Responsibility & Preservation: critical reflections on preservation, challenges in choosing what to preserve, digital curation, digital stewardship, archiving processes. • People & Preservation: stakeholder engagement, community approaches, partnership building, education & training, knowledge transfer. • Policy & Preservation: advocacy, national approaches, sustainability, open access, open data. • Sharing & Preservation: content curation, contextual information and metadata, aesthetics of preservation, sharing of research data, user tools, crowdsourcing. • Technology & Preservation: Technical challenges posed by datasets in arts/humanities/social sciences, digitisation vs. the born digital record, preservation infrastructures, software and tools. • Trust & Preservation: TDRs, provenance, authenticity, certification, security, data protection, copyright, licensing. Important Details: - Submission Deadline: 26th January 2015 - Notification of outcome: 30th March 2015 - Full papers due: 25th May 2015 - All abstracts will be peer reviewed, and accepted papers will be published as conference proceedings. - All submissions must be made through the conference website: dpassh.dri.ie - Abstract Length: Long papers: 400-500 words; Short papers: 200-300 words; Posters: 50-100 words - Final Paper Word Length: Long papers: 3000-5000; Short papers: 1500-2000 - Questions: Dr. Natalie Harrower, Chair of the Programme Committee: n.harrower@ria.ie Kind regards Sharon Dr. Sharon Webb Knowledge Transfer Manager, DAH Digital Repository of Ireland, Royal Irish Academy, 19 Dawson Street, D. 2.

First item is "The Entire History of You", part 3 of Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror, aired on British television 18 December 2011. I quote from the Wikipedia entry: "Set in an alternative reality where most people have a 'grain' implanted behind their ear which records everything they do, see or hear. This allows memories to be played back either in front of the person's eyes or on a screen, a process known as a 're-do'." Perhaps unsurprisingly it leads to horror and disaster. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Black_Mirror_episodes for the complete plot summary. But watch it, please. Second item is a review of several books, "The Creepy New Wave of the Internet", that just appeared in the 20 November issue of the New York Review of Books, as follows. The Creepy New Wave of the Internet Sue Halpern New York Review of Books 20 November Reviews of: The Zero Marginal Cost Society: The Internet of Things, the Collaborative Commons, and the Eclipse of Capitalism by Jeremy Rifkin; Enchanted Objects: Design, Human Desire, and the Internet of Things by David Rose; Age of Context: Mobile, Sensors, Data and the Future of Privacy by Robert Scoble and Shel Israel, with a foreword by Marc Benioff; More Awesome Than Money: Four Boys and Their Heroic Quest to Save Your Privacy from Facebook by Jim Dwyer [...] > For years, a cohort of technologists, most notably Ray Kurzweil, the > writer, inventor, and director of engineering at Google, have been > predicting the day when computer intelligence surpasses human intelligence > and merges with it in what they call the Singularity. We are not there yet, > but a kind of singularity is already upon us as we swallow pills embedded > with microscopic computer chips, activated by stomach acids, that will be > able to report compliance with our doctor's orders (or not) directly to our > electronic medical records.

[...] See http://www.nybooks.com/issues/2014/nov/20/ for more. This is, as we say, real, i.e. becoming actual, driven by current well-funded plans or dreams and predicted by some to turn out to be not all that different from Charlie Brooker's fantasy. Comments?

The confluence of this debate with the changes brought about by digital technology is not new either: one cannot speak of "new technologies" for the Humanities when many researchers turned to digital methods at least four decades ago, in disciplines as diverse as Linguistics, History or Literary Studies. However, the impact of the recent discourse linked to Digital Humanities has led to interesting developments in research in the Humanities. Indeed, networks amongst researchers have been boosted in a way never seen before, bridges between the Humanities and other Sciences have been built, and disciplinary barriers within the Humanities have been broken. The Conference "Digital Humanities in Portugal" aims precisely to stimulate these intersections, opening up a forum for discussion and sharing of research results or ongoing projects in this field of knowledge. Although one of the aims of the conference is to bring together researchers working in Portugal or on Portuguese subjects, we welcome contributions from other geographical areas and on other subjects. It is also our aim to showcase Digital Humanities projects from Europe and elsewhere, and thus foster mutual knowledge and network development. Call for papers: The Organizing Committee calls for the submission of paper (15 minutes) or poster proposals to the Conference "Digital Humanities in Portugal”, which will take place at the School of Social and Human Sciences at NOVA-New University of Lisbon, on October 8-9, 2015.

DHNetS: Digital Humanities Network Scotland: Project Presentation Showcase & Unconference Wednesday 10 December 2014, 5.15pm-8pm Do you have a digital project to share with the world? Are you interested in learning more about the digital humanities? Do you want to meet others in the DH community in Scotland, and have a say in shaping the activities of DHNetS over the next year? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you are warmly invited to a Project Presentation Showcase and Unconference organised by the Digital Humanities Network Scotland, supported by the Royal Society of Edinburgh and hosted by the University of Strathclyde. We invite colleagues from across Scotland and beyond to come, share some aspect of their digital scholarship, learn about other projects, and make connections with others who have similar interests. The event will have two parts: 1) A round of project presentations in a lightning talk format. Presenters will be given three minutes and three slides to present a project or aspect of their digital work. You don't have to be running a huge, research-council funded project: it could be a discovery you made using digital research tools, a discussion of a digital resource or tool that you work with, an idea for a project you are planning, or an interesting example of how you use social media in your work. 2) A mini-unconference in which we'll solicit suggestions for the network's activities for the year ahead. These could be anything from having a brilliant idea for a funding bid and wanting to find collaborators, brainstorming ways to incorporate DH activities into graduate training, identifying particular tools that we might want to offer workshops on, or anything else you want to propose. We'll take ideas, vote on them to find the most popular, and break into groups to discuss them. This is your network, and we want to hear your ideas. There will be wine; there will be merriment; there will even be prizes for the best presentations. For those who can stay, we'll be heading to dinner afterwards. We welcome presentations and participants from everywhere, not only Scotland. Postgraduate students are especially encouraged to attend, as are those who don't necessarily think of themselves as "doing digital humanities". There is no registration fee, though attendees will need to ensure they reserve a place. You can reserve your place here: http://bit.ly/1x7uhvL To propose a lightning talk, email Tara.Thomson@ed.ac.uk with your name, institutional affiliation, contact details, and a 200-300w abstract by Friday 21 Nov 2014. A limited number of travel bursaries are available to assist graduate students/ECRs/unwaged attendees with the cost of travel to Glasgow. If you would like to apply, please contact Tara.Thomson@ed.ac.uk for further details. The event will be held at Scottish Universities Insight Institute University of Strathclyde Collins Building, 22 Richmond Street Glasgow G1 1XQ It's a short walk (5 mins) from Queen St station and a map can be found here: http://www.strath.ac.uk/maps/collinsbuilding/ http://www.dhnets.hss.ed.ac.uk/events --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Nov 2014 16:07:31 +0000 From: "Lorna M. Hughes" Subject: APIs and Research: NeDiMAHworkshop Dear All, Humanists may be interested in the following NeDiMAH workshop in the Hague, Netherlands, December 17th: "So We've Built It, But Have They Come?" NeDiMAH/eCloud workshop http://www.nedimah.eu/call-for-papers/so-weve-built-it-have-they-come-nedimahecloud-workshop-wednesday-17th-december-2014 The ESF Research Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities (NeDiMAH), in conjunction with the Europeana Cloud (eCloud) project wishes to invite applications to attend a one-day workshop investigating potential uses for APIs in Humanities and Social Science research. The workshop will take place on Wednesday 17th December in The Hague, Netherlands. Who is this workshop for? We are looking for participants that might fall into two categories: -- Humanists and Social Scientists who have no or very little previous experience of using APIs to obtain big data-sets, but are keen to learn of the potentials (approx 10 spaces); and, -- Developers who work with Humanities and Social Science themed data-sets (approx 2 spaces). Aims of the workshop We aim to determine the current state of the art of API use, the barriers, practices and justifications, and develop a workflow that non-technical as well as technically competent humanists can follow in order to obtain big data sets using web services and APIs. In doing so, it will bring together researchers from the Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) who have not (knowingly) used APIs in their research before, but are keen to learn new digital methods, and software developers who make use of AHSS data. Participants will hear of the potential uses of APIs in AHSS research, and will take part in a practical session to design an experiment using APIs and web-services. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to envisage the uses of APIs in their research, and perhaps design their own studies using APIs from Cultural Heritage Institutions. The outcomes of this workshop will also help the Europeana Cloud project in its continuing developments of and improvements to the Europeana Portal. Funding Travel costs and reasonable accommodation costs can be reimbursed by NeDiMAH for a small number of accepted applicants from countries who are currently in the NeDiMAH network. You can see a list of those countries here: http://www.nedimah.eu/Contributing-Organisations (please note, while listed, Germany is no longer a contributing country to NeDiMAH). If you wish to be considered for this, please make this clear in your application. How to apply Spaces for this workshop are very limited. For this reason, we might not be able to accommodate all applicants to this workshop. In order for us to assess your suitability, please email vicky.garnett@tcd.ie with a one-page (A4) document outlining the following: -- Your current research -- Your current research institution -- Your contact details -- Your experience of digital methods to date -- What you hope to gain from the workshop To comply with ESF funding regulations, preference will be given to applicants from countries who are currently in the NeDiMAH network. Applications must be received no later than 5pm (GMT) on Friday, 7th November, 2014. best, Lorna -- Professor Lorna M.

If you know of any people who may be interested or relevant mailing lists, please do feel free to forward the details on. anna ---- Funded PhD Project: Incorporating self-evaluation into computational creativity systems (School of Computing, University of Kent) We invite applications for a three year, funded PhD degree. This project will be supervised by Dr Anna Jordanous in Computing, University of Kent, at our Medway campus. In exploring how computers can perform creative tasks, computational creativity research has produced many systems that can generate creative products or creative activity. Evaluation, a critical part of the creative process, has not been employed to such a great extent within creative systems. Recent work has concentrated on evaluating the creativity of such computational systems, but this has consisted of the system(s) being evaluated by external evaluators. Incorporation of self-evaluation into computational creativity systems would be a useful contribution to this research area. This work would also contribute towards exploring an important philosophical issue in computational creativity: is it the software that is being creative, or the programmers behind the software? In this project the PhD candidate will explore evaluation methods for evaluating both the quality of output from a creative system and the creativity of the system itself. The candidate will experiment with incorporating evaluation methods into a creative system and analyse the results to explore how computational creativity systems can incorporate self-evaluation. The creative systems studied could be in the area of musical or linguistic creativity, or in a creative area of the student's choosing. Applicants should normally have a first class honours or equivalent undergraduate degree in a relevant subject, such as Computer Science. A good Master's degree or relevant industry experience may also be accepted. The expected start date is 29 September 2015. The award is for 3 years if progression is satisfactory. For UK and EU applicants the award will provide a total amount of £17,859 in 2015/16. This is in the form of a maintenance grant of £13,863 a year and fees (currently £3,996). In subsequent years, the award will rise in line with any increase in fees. An overseas recipient of the award will receive the same total amount as would a UK or EU applicant, but will need to demonstrate that they can fund the difference (currently £10,864) between international and home fees. Support for research students includes regular supervision meetings, a research training programme, computer equipment, a desk in an office and funds for conference travel. Deadline for application: 15 January 2015.

Theoretical approaches and alternative tools. The event will be held at DigiLab La Sapienza, Rome, 3-5 December 2014. Vetreria Sciarra – Via dei Volsci 122, 00185 RomaRoom 110 The aim of this workshop is to present a critical approach to the digital representation of textual artefacts in the context of Humanities and Social Sciences. While the imperatives of digitization are affecting at a global level our cultural organizations and institutions, it seems necessary to introduce a socio-cultural reflection into the realm of the scholarly digital edition. The workshop is organized in practical and theoretical sessions led by Desmond Schmidt (Queensland University of Technology), Paolo Monella (Università di Palermo) e Domenico Fiormonte (Università Roma Tre). Participants will be guided through the realization of a digital product, experimenting with some innovative digital editions tools and platforms. The workshop is open to all students registered for postgraduate and doctoral programs (PhD or equivalent) anywhere in the world working in the field of Digital Humanities and Social Sciences. Some basic experience in scholarly editing and textual criticism is recommended. Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required for all applicants. Twelve positions are reserved for DiXiT fellows. The format of the workshop is multicultural, i.e. participants and speakers will be free to speak in their mother tongue or instead use English as lingua franca. All teaching material will be translated in English, except original cultural artifacts. Given the practical nature of the workshop we can accommodate up to 25 participants.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 08:38:09 -0700 From: Lori Emerson Subject: recruiting students for new practice-based research PhD Dear all, Applications are now being accepted for the University of Colorado at Boulder's brand new practice-based PhD in Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance. The Intermedia Art, Writing and Performance (IAWP) unit is an interdisciplinary digital arts and humanities research unit with a practice-based PhD. Located in the University of Colorado's recently approved College of Media, Communication and Information, IAWP's core faculty collaboratively investigate past and present forms of digital art, writing, and performance and offer graduate students a hands-on, experiential-based learning environment in which to explore emerging forms of creativity triggered by practice-based research methodologies. The research conducted in the program reflects the rapidly transforming knowledge systems and digital media economies emerging from the substantial technological shifts currently taking place in our society. Digital creative work and critical media literacy play a defining role in our information society and are transforming all aspects of contemporary life, including the way many professional visual artists, multimedia performers, writers, publishers, digital humanists and archivists pursue their practice. Traditional scholarly and creative work outputs such as the single-authored print book or conventional gallery exhibitions have already been challenged by the emergence of multi-authored and/or hybridized forms of transmission such as Internet art sites, electronic literature, live audio/visual performance, multi-platform storytelling or transmedia narratives, software art, interactive installations for public spaces, augmented reality, game art, networked media activism, and innovative art applications for mobile devices and tablets. IAWP’s internationally-renowned and affiliated faculty network collaborate with graduate students probing the significance of a digitally-expanded, process-based research environment located in a cluster of interdisciplinary research labs. The program provides a flexible pedagogical structure that will lead to the creation of new and hybridized forms of art, writing, performance, scholarship, theory, design, curation, exhibition, and publication appropriate for our current cultural moment. The program concentrates its curriculum on digital forms of creativity so as to cultivate cutting-edge investigations into the practice, theory, history, and philosophy of media and its relationships to creativity, communication, technology, and information. Application deadlines: International: December 1, 2014 Domestic: January 1, 2015 To find out more about IAWP as well as application guidelines and program requirements, please visit: http://www.colorado.edu/cmci/academics/phd-intermedia-art-writing-and-performance For more on the IAWP faculty, please visit: http://www.colorado.edu/cmci/people/intermedia-art-writing-and-performance I would be grateful if you'd encourage your students to apply! best, Lori Emerson -- Lori Emerson Assistant Professor | Director, Media Archaeology Lab Department of English, University of Colorado at Boulder Hellems 101, 226 UCB, Boulder, CO 80309-0226 loriemerson.net | mediaarchaeologylab.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id BA5B892D6; Sun, 9 Nov 2014 10:15:10 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 50AF48641; Sun, 9 Nov 2014 10:15:10 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2B1AA8E26; Sun, 9 Nov 2014 10:15:07 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141109091508.2B1AA8E26@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 9 Nov 2014 10:15:07 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.477 MA/PhD in interdisciplinary humanities at UC Merced X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 477.

The Interdisciplinary Humanities Graduate Group (IHGG) is an innovative M.A. and Ph.D. program that incorporates anthropology, archaeology, the arts, history, and language and literature. An IHGG education may include disciplinary specialization along with training in concepts that enrich all cultural research. The program exposes students to many humanities professions and trains students to engage the public, using both digital and analog approaches. Our faculty and graduate students read work from every one of our disciplines, and all of us utilize each other's frames of understanding. IHGG students may work with social and cognitive scientists, natural scientists, and engineers as well as humanists. UC Merced provides students the University of California's distinctive world-class education, while adding a special blend of small academic programs, interdisciplinary research, and personalized attention from award-winning faculty. UC Merced professors and researchers have acquired more than $185.7 million in grants and contracts, one of the highest per-capita in the country. With more than 400 graduate students and a rapidly growing graduate student population, it is no wonder UC Merced is attracting the best and brightest scholars from all over the world. UC Merced provides competitive financial support and resources. About 95 percent of our graduate students receive funding in the form of fellowships, teaching assistantships (TA), and graduate student researcher (GSR) assistantships. I also encourage you to visit the Graduate Division's web page (http://graduatedivision.ucmerced.edu) to learn more about our innovative academic programs, financial support, student services, professional development opportunities, and important information about the application process. While you're there, explore our faculty pages to learn about the exciting research currently taking place. I hope you will share this information with your colleagues and students! We look forward to seeing your students join our graduate program in Interdisciplinary Humanities (M.A., Ph.D.). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Regards. ... John Bradley, Gabriel Bodard John Bradley Senior Lecturer Department of the Digital Humanities School of Arts and Humanities King's College London +44 (0)20 7848 2680 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Text Mining for Digital Humanities Professor Timo Honkela (presented by Tuula Pääkkönen) National Library of Finland, Helsinki http://users.ics.aalto.fi/tho/ Tuesday, 11 November 2014, 6.00 pm Anatomy Museum, Strand Building 6th Floor, King's College London, Strand London WC2R 2LS With the increased availability of texts in electronic form, text mining has become commonplace as an attempt to extract interesting, relevant and/or novel information from text collections in an automatic or a semi-automatic manner. Text mining tasks include, for example, categorization, clustering, topic modelling, named entity recognition, taxonomy and conceptual model creation, sentiment analysis, and document summarization. The majority of text mining research has focused on corpora that have been born digital. However, for humanities and social sciences, the digitisation and analysis of originally printed or handwritten documents is essential. These documents may contain even a large proportion of OCR errors which has to be taken into account in the subsequent analytical processes. In this presentation, text mining of historical documents is discussed in some detail. Attention is paid to the methodological challenges caused by the noisy data, and to the future possibilities related to multilinguality and context-sensitive analysis of large collections. Bio From the beginning of 2014, professor Timo Honkela works at the Department of Modern Languages, University of Helsinki, and the National Library of Finland, Center for Preservation and Digitisation in the area of digital humanities. Before this he was the head of the Computational Cognitive Systems research group at Aalto University School of Science. With close to 200 scientific publications, Honkela has a long experience in applying statistical machine learning methods for modeling linguistic and socio-cognitive phenomena. Specific examples include leading the development of the GICA method for analyzing subjectivity of understanding, an initiating role in the development of the Websom method for visual information retrieval and text mining, and collaboration with professor George Legrady in creating Pockets Full of Memories, an interactive museum installation. Lesser known work include statistical analysis of Shakespeare's sonnets, historical interviews, and climate conference talks, and analysis of philosophical and religious conceptions. (Unfortunately, at the last minute Prof Honkela finds himself unable to be with us for his presentation. Thus, it will instead be given by his colleague Tuula Pääkkönen). _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id C21D49FCE; Mon, 10 Nov 2014 07:10:53 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8987B9C15; Mon, 10 Nov 2014 07:10:53 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1CD359C13; Mon, 10 Nov 2014 07:10:50 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141110061051.1CD359C13@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 07:10:50 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.479 job at the UCLA Library X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 479.

Dec. 12-13, 2015 Oxford. Hi all, The following conference may be of interest to people on this list. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and the Moore and Sloan foundations, there is significant student funding available. FORCE2015 CONFERENCE (12-13 January, Oxford; CFP deadline Nov. 15 (abstracts); Dec. 1 (posters)). The FORCE2015 Research Communication and e-Scholarship Conference brings together researchers, scholars, librarians, archivists, information scientists, publishers, and research funders in a lively forum – to broaden awareness of current efforts across disciplines, but also to define the future through discussions, challenge projects, demonstrations, and the seeding of new partnerships and collaborations. Individually and collectively, we aim to bring about a positive change in scholarly communications through both the effective use of information technology and a deeper understanding of the nature of evolving scholarly practice. The FORCE2015 conference will be held 12-13 January, 2015, at the University of Oxford, UK. On the preceding day, 11 January 2015, there will be workshops, informal and formal collaborations, and business meetings associated with the main conference. There are two themes for abstracts: * Valuing the diversity of scholarly impact in a networked world * Credit where credit is due There are also opportunities to propose pre-conference workshops. Force11 (The Future of Research Communication and eScholarship) was founded in 2011 to promote research in scholarly and scientific communication. It functions as a meeting ground and community of interest and practice for researchers across disciplines and sectors who are interested in the future of scholarly communication. A highlight of the meeting is the "$1k challenge"--a microgrant competition in which community groups propose ideas for $1k seed money grants. Although the initial membership of Force11 drew heavily from the natural and life sciences, it is now broadly interdisciplinary and inter-sector. Its membership includes humanists, social scientists, natural and life scientists, librarians, funders, and commercial and non-profit publishers and publishing professionals. It is particularly interested in expanding its membership in mid- and low-income economic regions and in further developing its activities within humanities and social science publishing. It is also a very welcoming group. If you or your students have ideas for papers or poster on scholarly communication activity, please consider submitting an abstract to the conference. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors and the Moore and Sloan foundations, there is also significant money available to support student participation.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2014 16:33:48 +0000 From: "Charles E. Jones" Subject: Syllabi [The following is from the Digital Classicist list. It raises the question of whether or to what degree meaningful skills can be taught by online tutorial, especially in cases in which there's no feedback. What strikes me as more useful or good as a necessary companion would be something like a contribution to the OUP Very Short Introduction series of books. Comments welcome. --WM] Last April I asked if anyone had taught courses (at the undergraduate level) in digital antiquity tools and skills and if so whether they would share share syllabi, or point to places where they're online. There were some interesting and useful responses, and I'm still interested in what you may have to offer What I guess I was hoping for is something along the lines of The Programming Historian http://programminghistorian.org "The Programming Historian is an online, open access, peer reviewed suite of about 30 tutorials that help humanists (though slanted towards historians) learn a wide range of digital tools, techniques, and workflows to facilitate their research. Despite the name, we do not focus exclusively on programming, but rather aim to provide guidance on a variety of digital methods and approaches." There does not seem to be anything specifically related to Classics or Antiquity there yet, so I'd urge those of you who have such things to contribute them if you can.

The journal will be a digital open access publication, and is called *Digital Literary Studies*. See http://digitalliterarystudies.org for more (site currently under development). *Digital Literary Studies *will look to publish scholarly articles on research concerned with computational approaches to literary analysis/criticism, or critical/literary approaches to electronic literature, digital media, and textual resources. In addition to longer, more traditionally-formed articles, positional papers and articles with a shorter experimental focus, as well as reviews of books and electronic literature, will be considered. We are currently in the process of putting our Advisory Board in place, but we also require managing editors to assist in the day-to-day operations of the journal. Initially, it will be published bi-annually. We are inviting expressions of interest for emerging and established scholars alike interested in taking form part of a team of managing editors for *Digital Literary Studies*. Experience with OJS is desirable, but not essential. Interested candidates should contact me at josullivan@psu.edu.

For those of you who do not live in London, we'll be live-streaming the event at ( http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/2014/11/13/tuesday-18-november-citizen-history-and-its-discontents/ ). Full details below: Title: Citizen History and its Discontents Date: 18 November 2014 Time: 5:15 PM (GMT) Venue: Room 208, Senate House Speaker: Mia Ridge (Open University) Abstract: An increasing number of crowdsourcing projects are making claims about ‘citizen history’ – but are they really helping people become historians, or are they overstating their contribution? Can citizen history projects succeed without communities of experts and peers to nurture sparks of historical curiosity and support novice historians in learning the skills of the discipline? Through a series of case studies this paper offers a critical examination of claims around citizen history. Speaker Biography: Mia Ridge's research focusses on historians and scholarly crowdsourcing. Mia has published and presented widely on her key areas of interest including: user experience design, human-computer interaction, open cultural data, audience engagement and crowdsourcing in the cultural heritage sector. Until December 2014, she is a CENDARI http://www.cendari.eu/ Visiting Research Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Her edited volume, ‘Crowdsourcing our Cultural Heritage’ http://www.miaridge.com/crowdsourcing-our-cultural-heritage/ (Ashgate) is published in October 2014..

The historical Alte Aula of the University of Tübingen will serve as the venue for the workshop. The TLT workshop series has proven successful in providing a forum for researchers in the field of Computational Linguistics who are experts in the design, creation and exploitation of annotated corpora and their relation to linguistic theories. Treebanks have become crucial for the development of data-driven approaches to natural language processing, human language technologies, grammar extraction, and linguistic research in general. Many projects aim at compiling representative treebanks for specific languages. Other projects focus on the development of tools for the exploration of treebanks, develop annotation beyond syntactic structure and beyond a single language, and explore the usage of linguistic annotation for special areas of research in linguistics, or the Humanities, in general. ======================================================= Invited Speakers Sandra Kübler (Indiana University, Indiana, USA) Gertjan van Noord (University of Groningen, The Netherlands) ======================================================= Registration Information Fees: - Regular, early bird (until Nov. 20): 130 Euro - Student, early bird (until Nov. 20): 80 Euro - Regular, late: 150 Euro - Student, late: 100 Euro URL: http://tlt13.sfs.uni-tuebingen.de/local/registration/ For more information or questions, please contact: tlt13-local@sfs.uni-tuebingen.de -- -- Verena Henrich Seminar für Sprachwissenschaft Universität Tübingen Wilhelmstr. 19 (Raum 2.24) 72074 Tübingen Germany http://www.verenahenrich.de Tel.: +49 (0)7071 2977313 Fax: +49 (0)7071 295214 --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 17:43:05 +0000 From: Tessa Whitehouse Subject: Searching and/as Knowing 24 November You are warmly invited to attend this seminar on Monday 24 November "Searching and/as Knowing" with Prof. Lisa Gitelman The QMUL Digital Humanities seminar is delighted to welcome Professor Lisa Gitelman, Distinguished Visiting Fellow in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at QMUL. Time: 5.30pm Place: ArtsTwo SCR (35 on this map; entrance via Westfield Way; the SCR is on the 4th floor) Professor Gitelman is a media historian whose research concerns book history, techniques of inscription, and the new media of yesterday and today. Her books include Scripts, Grooves, and Writing Machines (Stanford 1999), Always Already New: Media, History, and the Data of Culture (MIT 2006), and, most recently, Paper Knowledge (Duke 2014). She has also published the edited collections New Media, 1740-1915 (MIT 2003) and "Raw Data" Is an Oxymoron (MIT 2013). The session, titled “Searching and/as Knowing”, is aimed at questions of historical epistemology. How are ways of knowing culturally and historically contingent? How might we consider the ways that knowing might be changing amid the present ubiquity of digital tools? What is the best way to historicize search? Prof. Gitelman will lead a discussion of recent two pieces that reflect on processes of knowing in a digital age, the discursive powers of the database, and the future of scholarship.

I envision this project as being a collaborative effort across a broad spectrum of the Digital Humanities' literary scholars, and so I hope to keep you all posted on its progression via Humanist. Our Advisory Board is in the process of being put in place, and we have a number of individuals interested in taking up roles as managing editors. However, section editors and copy editors are also required. Editors are needed for each of the following sections (sincerest thanks to Geoffrey Rockwell for suggesting some of these categories): *Long Research Papers* Original scholarly articles and research papers, both with a practical and theoretical focus, of 5,000 – 12,000 words in length. Papers should either approach literary criticism / analysis via computational methods, or offer criticism / theoretical expositions of electronic literature and other relevant topics. *Short Positional Papers* Well-researched and appropriately referenced positional papers will also be considered. Positional papers are typically shorter reflective pieces with a theoretical / critical focus. Positional papers present an opportunity for scholars to share some of their intellectual views with the wider community. *Short Quantitative Articles / Experiments* Shorter 2,000 – 4000 word original articles with a focus on methodologies, experimentation (both successful and failed), development, digital project descriptions and/or reviews, as well as other more technical subject matters, are also eligible for consideration. *Curated Electronic Texts* Collections of curated electronic texts which have been appropriately encoded may be peer-reviewed. Successful collections will be made publicly available and preserved in the Pennsyvlania State University's institutional repository, ScholarSphere . *Digital Projects / Tools & Methods* Any digital project with a literary focus will be considered for peer-review. Contributors should submit a link to their project, accompanied by a detailed outline of the project's design, implementation, rationale, and scope. Where appropriate, any particular intellectual considerations should be discussed in detail. Focus may also be given to well-documented hermeneutical methods and tools, where the tools are treated as a form of interpretation. Section editors will be responsible for managing each of the aforementioned submission types, while copy editors (often the unsung heroes but so vital to a publication) will oversee the proofing and typesetting for the journal. Any interested parties should contact me at josullivan@psu.edu, where general comments on the journal, which is still very much in its formative stage, will also be welcomed. The CFP for Issue 1 will be announced once the Advisory and Editorial boards are finalised. Thanks to all.

The Bizet Catalogue by Hugh Macdonald Washington University Digital Library Services is happy to announce the release of The Bizet Catalogue by Hugh Macdonald. The collection is primarily a list of Bizet's works, providing essential information about the history and content of each one. It gives information on manuscript and printed sources, on documentary materials relating to the composition, performance and publication of each work, and is intended to provide a full historical documentation of Bizet's work as composer and transcriber. Unlike traditional thematic catalogues of composers published as books, this one is designed as a website, managed by the Humanities Digital Workshop at Washington University in St. Louis, and deposited at the university's Olin Library. Since all such catalogues can at best be provisional, it will be possible to make additions and revisions as new information is obtained. Readers are therefore invited to submit corrections and new information by going to Contact Us http://digital.wustl.edu/ref/contact.html and following instructions. Additional information will be added as it becomes available. The website format allows us to include information (such as reviews of performances) which would normally be excluded. An iconography is also planned. Individual works may be accessed through the Lists of Works. For further guidance about the Catalogue, go to How to Use the Catalogue http://digital.wustl.edu/bizet/ref/howtouse.html . _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E9E0082EB; Sat, 15 Nov 2014 07:54:04 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8D2CB82E7; Sat, 15 Nov 2014 07:54:04 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6825A82D7; Sat, 15 Nov 2014 07:54:03 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20141115065403.6825A82D7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2014 07:54:03 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.490 issues of the ACH Newsletter?

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures In-Reply-To: <1415944600458.25154@umiami.edu> Call for Papers Keynote Speaker: Dr. Lev Manovich The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Miami is pleased to announce its annual graduate student conference, "Born-Digital: Reformatting Humanities in the 21st Century" to be held March 20-21, 2015. This conference is sponsored by The Joseph Carter Memorial Fund. In Born-Digital: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives (2008), John Palfrey and Urs Gasser explore how the proliferation of new technologies informs the perceived realities of "digital natives" (those born in the digital age) and the "digital immigrants" who have experienced the movement toward digitization during their lifetime. Differences among members of these groups include, for example, how they express their identities in real and virtual spaces, how they perceive their level of connectedness to others, and how they express themselves creatively. Comprising both "native" and "immigrant" scholars and students, the digital humanities are a key field in which these differences play out-an already digital (born-digital) phenomenon as well as a field undergoing digitization. This conference considers how humanities are already digital, the purposes of digitizing the humanities, how "natives" and "immigrants" can work together to deepen our understanding of the human experience, and the advantages and challenges that digital efforts create for scholarship and teaching. What key debates and in-novative projects do the digital humanities foster? Seeking to provide a platform for new research as well as introduction to the digital humanities for conference attendees, we encourage papers that consider topics from a variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches. We are particularly interested in papers that consider the digital humanities (DH) from an international perspective. Potential areas of inquiry include: * DH and media * DH and the arts * DH and computer-based applications * DH and data mining * DH and peer to peer applications * Multicultural and multilingual areas of DH * DH and pedadogy * DH and crowdsourcing * DH and social justice * DH and cultural mapping * DH and gender studies * DH and race We invite proposals in English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish.

In-Reply-To: <20141114063907.770E48BBA@digitalhumanities.org> In response to the welcome news of Domenico Fiormonte's article "Digital Humanities from a global perspective", I wonder about what results from the undoubtedly laudable intention to gain a view of the entire world. Allow me to go out onto a possibly weak analogical limb. In a very different context Paul N. Edwards, in "The World in a Machine: Origins and Impacts of Early Computerized Global Systems Models" (Systems, Experts, and Computers: The Systems Approach in Management and Engineering, ed. Hughes and Hughes), asks, > How did 'the world' become a system? What kind of science made it > possible to know the planet as a unit, to disentangle the vast array > of interlocking forces that determine its characteristics as a > system? (p. 221) What he shows for climatology is that, "As the grid scales of weather models and their time-steps began to shrink, as meteorologists sought to model the entire globe" the lack of uniform and so reliable data became the problem. Thus the computer "now also became a tool for refining, correcting, and shaping data to fit the models' needs" (p. 229). In other words, the attempt to extend knowledge beyond ordinary terrestrial experience resulted in the model becoming the nature being modelled. So I wonder further: can we get further than saying in effect, "This is what the world looks like from where I stand"?

By an association impossible or impractical to trace Humanist's sending address has ended up on a list of the baddies and so is being blocked from receipt by ca 100 members. We are working on the problem now. Of course if you receive this note the news won't be directly relevant to you, but if you know someone who has complained of not receiving postings please do assure them that we're paying attention. How quaint all that palaver about the liberating force of e-mail now seems. It reminds me of some of what was said in the very early days of the telephone.

The Versioning Machine (VM) is a framework and an interface for displaying multiple versions of text encoded according to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines. Begun in 2000, there have been several major updates since then. Currently we are working on a new version (5.0) and we are looking to the community for feedback on the current version and feature requests for the redevelopment. We invite you to complete a short survey to guide the redevelopment. There are a maximum of 27 questions, but it should not take longer than ten minutes. Here is the link to the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/VMSURVEY2014 Many thanks for your help, Karolina Badzmierowska, Roman Bleier and the VM team -- Roman Bleier PhD Candidate in Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) Trinity College Dublin Department of History E: bleierr@tcd.ie LinkedIn http://ie.linkedin.com/pub/roman-bleier/60/924/aa0 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2014 12:18:22 +0000 From: Stephen Brown Subject: Invitation to participate in a research proposal Apologies for cross posting This is the same invitation as the one I made at the end of my recent UKMW14 presentation. Similarity Engine for Researching About Photographic History (SERAPH) In recent years, the proliferation of online resources has shifted the balance of research away from physical archives towards online searching and browsing. However, keyword searches do not make it easy to browse for interesting ideas and relevant information when one is not sure exactly what one is looking for, even though it is often easy enough to recognise the potential of such information when one sees it. Yet arguably browsing behaviour is just as important as targeted searching for developing new ideas and making discoveries, particularly when beginning a new project and before precise questions have been formulated. SERAPH aims to develop a "similarity engine", a research tool that embodies the serendipitous nature of the physical browsing environment, analogous to browsing library shelves, to support research into photographic history. Users will be able to frame search queries, view results of similarity searches in an interactive 3D network of data nodes, zoom in and out of results, annotate, save and share their results with others. The project team invite expressions of interest from researchers, students, scholars, dealers and anyone else engaged with photographic history to join a panel of experts for this project. Expert panel members will help the project team to understand what a similarity engine needs to do in order to be most useful. They will help to specify and test the user interface and evaluate the performance of the similarity engine and associated tools. The total work entailed is a maximum of 10 hours, for which a small honorarium of £200 plus expenses will be available if the funding proposal is successful.

(With usual apologies for cross-posting…) Visit us at Iliads.org http://iliads.org/ In the summer of 2015, from July 26 to August 2, a partnership of 23 liberal arts institutions will host ILiADS, the Institute for Liberal Arts Digital Scholarship, at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. ILiADS offers participants two ways to engage the community of liberal arts practitioners and pedagogues: a team- and project-based approach and a more traditional conference structure. Those interested in the project-based component, with ideas or teams at any stage (or no stage!) of development, are encouraged to let our planning consultants guide their participation. Option One: during the week (26-31 July), project teams consisting of combinations of faculty, librarians, technologists, and students will learn and practice the skills necessary to bring their projects closer to the finish line. However, rather than offering a development opportunity in the traditional teacher-pupil mold, ILiADS will provide collaborative support targeted to the specific challenges facing a project and/or team. Whether your project is an idea that needs to get off the ground or a developed undertaking that needs to scale up, the proposal consultants will work with you and the growing list of noted institute specialists http://iliads.org/institute-specialists/ to define your questions, shape your team (if needed), and determine how to make the most of this focused development time. The days will offer a mix of tutorials, talks, and time to hack. Option Two: beginning on the evening of July 31, the ILiADS conference will offer a weekend of conversations led and inspired by an impressive slate of keynote speakers http://iliads.org/conference-keynotes/ . Conference attendees--who need not have attended the Institute week--can use this time to engage with other liberal arts faculty, staff, and students over the kinds of questions facing their institutions: involving undergraduates in faculty research, folding digital methods into courses, and institutional support for digital scholarship, to name only a few. While conference attendance certainly is not mandatory for those participating in the preceding week’s activities, we hope that project teams in whole or in part will be able to use the weekend to build momentum and connections with still more liberal arts colleagues. (Implicit Bonus Option: do both!) Important Dates: For project-based teams December 15th, 2014: Part One, Expression of Interest form, due January 5th, 2015: Teams who submit an Expression of Interest Form will be contacted by one of our consultants by this date February 6th, 2015: Part Two, formal institute proposal submissions, are due February 27th, 2015: Proposal acceptances sent March 2nd, 2015: Registration for both events opens! For Conference Attendees December 15th, 2014: Part One, Expression of Interest form, recommended March 2nd, 2015: Registration for both events opens!

Kirschenbaum Digital Material is a conference that considers the intersections of digital and material cultures in the humanities. How has the long history of studying material objects prepared us for understanding digital culture? To what degree does materiality inflect and inform our encounters with the digital? Recent years have seen an intensification of interest in both digital and material cultures. This broad trend has been mirrored in the academy by the growing prominence of digital humanities and the renewed focus on materiality and material objects within humanities disciplines. At the same time, libraries, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions are grappling with the theoretical and practical implications of preserving and exhibiting their material collections within increasingly digital infrastructures, while adapting to the challenges posed by born-digital materials. The conference invites discussion of a series of related issues: does a reinvigorated interest in material culture represent a conservative reaction to the perceived threat of digital culture, or is it evidence of an embrace of the innovative affordances of the digital? How do digital media represent the materiality of texts and objects? Does the digital constitute its own form of materiality? Proposals are invited on any aspect of the conference theme, including: * What is meant by 'digital materiality'? * What is lost and gained when we study material objects through their digital surrogates? * Relationships between digital texts and material texts. * Creation, curation, and preservation of digitised and born-digital artefacts. * Digital archives and material archives. * What parts of our digital culture will future scholars unearth? * Do digital objects embody their culture in the way that material objects do? * Does memory inhere in the material better than in the digital? * The digital collector: can we be possessive about digital artefacts? * Object lessons: digital and material pedagogy. * Representations of the intersections of digital and material cultures. * Technology, equipment, storage, media; matter, substance, simulation, virtuality; cloth, fabric, pulp, bits, bytes. Proposals may include: * 20-minute papers (abstract: 300-400 words). * Panels (individual paper abstracts plus 250-word overview). * Roundtables (abstract: 300-400 words plus names of speakers). All participants should include a short biography (100-200 words) with their proposals. Submit proposals at http://digitalmaterial.ie before 31 January 2015. Successful proposals will be notified of acceptance by 21 February 2015. -- Dr Justin Tonra, University Fellow in English, School of Humanities, National University of Ireland, Galway. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 877516752; Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:38:32 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 170F166FD; Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:38:32 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4615466D6; Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:38:30 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141119063830.4615466D6@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:38:30 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.498 events: women's history; Hayles' work X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 498.

Katherine Hayles' In-Reply-To: <1936746175.12027585.1416339533487.JavaMail.root@zimbra-mailbox> Call For Papers: Workshop 'Thinking with Algorithms: Cognition and Computation in the Work of N. Katherine Hayles' http://www.securitysfutures.org/latest-news/call-papers-workshop-thinking-algorithms-cognition-computation-work-n-katherine-hayles/ The workshop organisers seek contributions that engage with, or respond to, the work of Katherine Hayles for the many questions it provokes and addresses for our times. Do algorithms compute beyond the threshold of human perceptibility and consciousness? Can 'thinking' and 'learning' digital devices reflect or engage durational time? Do digital forms of cognition radically transform workings of the human brain and what humans can perceive or decide? How do algorithms act upon other algorithms, and can they learn recursively from each other? What kind of sociality or associative life emerges from the human-machinic cognitive relations that we see with association rules and analytics? _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 130D467D1; Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:39:19 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C96AA67CC; Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:39:18 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C7A186784; Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:39:16 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141119063916.C7A186784@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2014 07:39:16 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.499 pubs: D-Lib for November/December X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 499.

That's all (?). My aim was not "to gain a view [broad or narrow] of the entire world", but to offer a taste of what's going on in the world in the field of DH -- to the best of my knowledge and as honestly as I could. I don't know of other similar attempts, so if this will result in other and more inclusive (?), accurate (?) and non-Western (?) descriptions/maps/ etc. I will be the first one to enjoy them. In fact, last year Amelia Sanz and I proposed to DH2014 a panel on "global" DH where five different regions of the world were represented. The proposal unfortunately was rejected. But we'll try again. I'm grateful to everybody for the (public and private) comments! Domenico P.S. And by the way, as Freud would say, "sometimes my cigar is just a cigar": so "my title is a just a title", not a geopolitical statement... 2014-11-15 8:02 GMT+01:00 Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk>: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 492. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > [1] From: "Bod, Rens" > (120) > Subject: RE: 28.489 pubs: Digital Literary Studies; Bizet > Catalogue; > a global perspective > > [2] From: Willard McCarty > (27) > Subject: global perspective? > > > > --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2014 10:41:37 +0000 > From: "Bod, Rens" > Subject: RE: 28.489 pubs: Digital Literary Studies; Bizet > Catalogue; a global perspective > In-Reply-To: <20141114063907.770E48BBA@digitalhumanities.org> > > Dear Leonardo Pica Ciamarra, > > Hmm, the title seems misleading: the article is not about digital > humanities from a *global* perspective but from a *western* perspective. > > Best, > Rens Bod > ________________________________________ > Van: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org [ > humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org] namens Humanist Discussion > Group [willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk] > Verzonden: vrijdag 14 november 2014 7:39 > Aan: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > Onderwerp: [Humanist] 28.489 pubs: Digital Literary Studies; Bizet > Catalogue; a global perspective > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 489. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > [...] > Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 09:56:01 +0100 > From: Leonardo Pica Ciamarra > Subject: "Digital Humanities from a global perspective" > > Dear Humanist members, > > Our e-journal "Laboratorio dell'ISPF" has just published the article by > Domenico Fiormonte, "Digital Humanities from a global perspective", > which could be of some interest for this list: > http://www.ispf-lab.cnr.it/article/2014_203_Abstract. > > Regards, > Leonardo Pica Ciamarra > > -- > Leonardo Pica Ciamarra > Senior Researcher, Head of the Center for Digital Humanites > Istitute for the History of Philosophical and Scientific Thought > National Research Council > via Porta di Massa, 1 - 80133 Napoli I > email: picaciamarra@ispf.cnr.it > > Centro di umanistica digitale: http://www.ispf.cnr.it/UmanisticaDigitale > Portale Vico: http://www.giambattistavico.it/en > Laboratorio dell'ISPF: http://www.ispf-lab.cnr.it > > > > > --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2014 06:53:10 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: global perspective? > In-Reply-To: <20141114063907.770E48BBA@digitalhumanities.org> > > In response to the welcome news of Domenico Fiormonte's article "Digital > Humanities from a global perspective", I wonder about what results from > the undoubtedly laudable intention to gain a view of the entire world. > > Allow me to go out onto a possibly weak analogical limb.

As a member of the Curricular and Research Computing group, the Curricular Technology Consultant will provide specialized as well as general technology support to further the academic mission of the college: the successful candidate will support faculty in the pedagogical application of a range of available resources (tablets and mobile devices, Apple TV, class capture, student response systems, etc); provide instruction in the best and innovative uses of current web-based services (including Moodle, Google Apps, WordPress, etc.); and initiate and contribute to academic technology projects that promote the curricular engagement of quantitative and qualitative data analysis.

The Transcribathon will take place in the Class of 1978 Orrery Pavillion in the Kislak Center on the 6th floor of Penn's Van Pelt Library, 3420 Walnut St., Philadelphia, PA. Transcribathon website: http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/Transcribathon/ If you like puzzles and/or are interested in the early modern period then you should consider joining the transcribathon! Work by yourself or with friends. You might stay for just a few lines, or get hooked and transcribe an entire piece. Early Modern Manuscripts Online, or EMMO, is an IMLS-funded three-year project that will ultimately provide scholars and the general public with convenient web access to a searchable database of transcriptions and digital images of a substantial number of the Folger Shakespeare Library's English manuscripts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: letters, diaries, wills, coats of arms, literary works, recipe books, miscellanies, and more. The first phase of the project consists of creating and gathering transcriptions, in order to create a corpus that is then vetted for accuracy and consistency. -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dot Porter (MA, MSLS) Digital Medievalist, Digital Librarian Email: dot.porter@gmail.com Personal blog: dotporterdigital.org Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance: http://www.mesa-medieval.org MESA blog: http://mesamedieval.wordpress.com/ MESA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MedievalElectronicScholarlyAlliance *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1D5836CFE; Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:32:54 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0E3706CF4; Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:32:53 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5A0276CE4; Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:32:48 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20141121073248.5A0276CE4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 08:32:48 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.503 musical help received X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 503.

A most fruitful suggestion. It was with a bit of trepidation I trod on the turf of the experts. But I was curious about what it might be that the poet Robin Blaser in The Moth Poem presents as the penultimate section of his serial poem : C D Eb G A Bb B D What I proposed the AMS-list: What I am trying to determine is whether Blaser is citing an existing piece of music, inventing something, or translating (i.e. modifying something that exists). The musical "quotation" occurrs before the final section of the poem which is devoted to the figure of the translator. Results: I was kindly disabused of the notion that the letters represented chords. (Ever so nicely done off list: "Those notes are probably not chords per se, but some fragment of melody. If they were chords it would sound something like smashing your entire hand on the piano, a cluster of pitches rather than a chord with meaning (which can exist in modern music but is rare in music overall"). The series of pitches is not connected to Ravel (WWW keyword searches had revealed A possible allusion to Ravel's _Miroirs_ of which the first movement is Noctuelles ("Night Moths") but the evidence is negative for a citing of the Ravel).. Likewise for a direct connection to Pierrot Luniare, a set of poems by Albert Giraud set to music by Arnold Schoenberg. The series of pitches may represent the notes that the author heard as a moth touched the strings of a piano. See posting from Eric Grunin (grunin.com). This is a very elegant solution -- in an Occam's Razor fashion. Bonus: Harrison Birtwistle set the poem to music in the "The Moth Requiem". Question remains if Birtwistle took up the pitch-row given at the end of the Blaser poem in his "Requiem". Other searches uncovered a possible intertext for the Blaser poem in the verse of Don Marquis (http://www.donmarquis.org/themoth.htm). Blaser is likely to have known this item of the popular culture. BTW I first encountered Archy and Mehitabel through the music and stories of Rosalie Sorrels (Always A Lady). An abundance of riches, gratefully acknowledged. And a testament to the onoging value of discussion lists.

Dear list members, I have prepared a questionnaire about the notion of “event” for historians and the interest towards the use of Natural Language Processing tools to support historical investigations. The answers to my questionnaire will help me find out how historians define events encoded in texts and will contribute to develop linguistic annotation guidelines to train and test a tool for the automatic recognition of events, temporal expressions and temporal relations in historical texts. The final aim is to add temporal information extraction in the ALCIDE platform (http://dh.fbk.eu/projects/alcide-analysis-language-and-content-digital-environment). The URL of the questionnaire is the following: http://goo.gl/forms/OzVtGYLnm3 It consists of 18 questions and it should take no more than 20 minutes to respond to all questions. I would really appreciate if you could circulate the questionnaire among historians registered to this mailing-list. Thanks in advance.

These standards could then be used in multi-author publications, as a way to indicate the type of contribution each author has made: conceptualization, methodology, software, validation, data curation, project administration, etc. This gives more precise credit than author placement, and is more meaningful than "third author of seven". Though Project CRediT started with the research cycle in the sciences, the taxonomy is now open for comment, and at a recent meeting I was told that project members are very interested in feedback from the humanities community. And given that there are many discussions in the digital humanities about "credit" in collaborative research projects, this seems potentially interesting work towards categorizing those types of credit. Comment on the proposed taxonomy or learn more at the project website: http://credit.casrai.org/ (Just for clarity's sake: I don't have any relation to this project, just met someone involved who encouraged input from the DH community.)

I want to make sure that everyone sees this -- the search is going forward and now (=ASAP) is the time to get your application. http://ase.tufts.edu/classics/about/jobs.htm Classics: Mellon Bridge Assistant Professorship *Greco-Roman and Islamic Traditions* The School of Arts and Sciences at Tufts University seeks a scholar who studies the contact between the Greco-Roman and Islamic traditions during any period through the Renaissance for a tenure-track Mellon Bridge Assistant Professorship, to begin September 2015. This newly-created position is being supported by a grant from the Mellon Foundation to promote scholarship and teaching that bridges different departments and programs in the humanities. Mellon Bridge professors will be grounded in one department but will also teach in other academic departments or programs, according to their areas of expertise. This position will have a primary appointment in the Department of Classics, and a secondary appointment in one or more of the following programs and departments: Arabic; Archaeology; Art History; History; International Relations; Middle Eastern Studies; Philosophy; Religion; Romance Languages; and a potentially new interdisciplinary master's program, Digital Technologies for Pre-Modern Studies, which is currently in the planning stage. The School will extend secondary appointments and cross-list courses in other departments and programs as appropriate. The successful candidate will receive an appointment as a fellow at the Center for the Humanities at Tufts (CHAT) for the duration of the pre-tenure probationary period. The intellectual emphasis of the Department of Classics is the transmission of knowledge across cultures and time. The Department currently teaches courses in Greek, Latin, Medieval Latin, and Sanskrit and in the archaeology and history of Egypt, the Greco-Roman world, Ancient Northern Europe, and the Mediterranean, as well as in the comparison of Greek, Roman, and Chinese history. In addition, department members and affiliated faculty maintain teaching and research interests in the medieval and early modern world. The Department of Classics also houses the Perseus Digital Library, one of the largest and most actively used open-access humanities databases in the world---currently containing approximately 165 million searchable words in Greek, Latin, Arabic, French, German, Italian, and English, and receiving more than eight million visits last year alone, with a returning-visitor rate of 66%. Perseus's collections range from Homer through the Renaissance to nineteenth-century American literature and contemporary scholarship, and also include photographs and descriptions of art objects, buildings, and archaeological sites. The Perseus Perseids Platform, supported by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation, is currently expanding Tufts' digital infrastructure by facilitating the publication, revision, and conservation of previously unavailable texts, other media, and original research by faculty and students. Applicants should demonstrate knowledge of Arabic as well as either Greek or Latin. Evidence of a strong record of scholarship is required. Doctorate and minimum of two years' full- or part-time teaching experience is required.

His research primarily focuses on the literature and culture of the British and European eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with an emphasis on phenomena such as literary tourism and the creation of literary heritage sites. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 15:57:46 +0000 From: Duncan Williams Subject: 11th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research Dear all, We are very pleased to announce that the 11th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR) Music, Mind, and Embodiment will take place in Plymouth, UK on 16-19 June 2015. Important dates: Paper submission deadline February 27th 2015 Music submission deadline February 27th 2015 Notification of acceptance March 27th 2015 Revisions and camera ready copy deadline May 1st 2015 Plymouth is a vibrant ocean city with a global history which stretches back hundreds of years. The symposium will include a series of concerts, a satellite workshop on Music Neurotechnology, and an unforgettable boat cruise and banquet trip around the iconic Plymouth Hoe from the Barbican Harbour, site of the Mayflower Steps (portrayed in the logo above), from which the Pilgrim Fathers left England to settle in North America in 1620. The Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) is hosting the symposium on campus in the center of Plymouth, in their newly completed multi-million pound headquarters, "The House", which includes a multichannel diffusion suite and full scale auditorium for concert performances. Music, Mind, and Embodiment This year, we encourage the submission of contributions on the theme of Music, Mind, and Embodiment. The notion of mind and embodiment is important in any field related to sound and music and is therefore well adapted to this interdisciplinary conference, since it can be studied from different standpoints spanning from physics to perceptual and cognitive considerations, and from scientific to artistic approaches. Some central questions of interest in this context are (but not necessarily restricted to) : How to identify perceptually relevant signal properties linked to music (for example, neurophysiologically or biologically influenced music creation, performance, or analysis?) How to define new timbre descriptors that characterise perceptual or emotional characteristics? What is the link between mind and embodiment in musical performance, interpretation, and improvisation? How can gesture and embodiment be used as a control signal for music generation, sonification, and performance? How can multiple modalities be characterised in interdisciplinary musical contexts (vision, audition, kinesthetic, bio- and neuro- informed approaches)? Contributions on other topics as described in the call for contributions are also welcome. Submission deadline is February 27th 2015. Keynote speakers: Hugues Vinet (IRCAM) David Rosenboom (CalArts) Eduardo Miranda (ICCMR) For further details please visit: http://cmr.soc.plymouth.ac.uk/cmmr2015/ Please send any enquiries to: cmmr2015-chairs@plymouth.ac.uk We look forward to seeing you next year, Prof Eduardo R Miranda (conference chair) Joel Eaton (programme committee) Dr Duncan Williams (music committee) --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:30:57 +0000 From: Charles Baldwin Subject: CFP Vancouver E-Lit reading (11/28; 1/9/15) E-Lit@Vancouver Start 2015 with Electronic Literature!

For what its worth: it is the time of year when people apply for PhD programs in Classics (and everything else). I wrote this essay because I think that the Digital Humanities have now reached a point where anyone who wants to start a Classics career now (and thus would, if just out of college, be looking at a career that could run through 2060) really needs to come to grips with the "digital turn". I don't know of any PhD program for Greek and Latin that really addresses the challenges that we face as we reinvent our field to flourish in the digital world of which we are all already a part. (I am hoping to be buried with counter-examples!) Gregory Crane* So you want to become a professor Greek and/or Latin? Think hard about a PhD in Digital Humanities. Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Digital Humanities Universität Leipzig Professor of Classics Winnick Family Chair of Technology and Entrepreneurship Tufts University I decided to write this piece because this is the time of year when those who wish to become professional students of Greek and Latin are deciding where they should apply for graduate schools. I am now starting to see that the most interesting Phd projects on Greek and Latin are taking place in PhD programs for the Digital Humanities and I think that anyone who wishes to develop a career of sustained satisfaction needs to think carefully about how they move forward. At the present time, I am not aware of any traditional program in Greek and Latin that prepares students for satisfying and sustainable careers. This essay falls into three parts. First I suggest some words of caution, including the well-known challenges about actually landing a permanent faculty position, the amount of work that you will need to commit if you want to maximize your chances for success and then, more substantively, something about the actual work that supports faculty Greek and Latin faculty positions in the United States and (much of) Europe. The second section briefly touches upon some fundamental topics that we must resolve if we are to rethink the study of Greek and Latin (as I think we must if we are to survive, or perhaps even flourish): the information that we produce, the knowledge that we internalize, the values that we advance and the basis for the survival of our field. The third section describes some topics that you will probably not find in a standard program for Greek and Latin but that would greatly enhance your ability to develop a sustainable career.

'€œI Ride an Ol'€™ Paint'", is now available in http://www.academia.edu/9377250/Oral_variation_interpretation_and_crowdsourcing._I_Ride_an_Ol_Paint_ Abstract. One role of the Internet seems to be acting as a corpus which expands interpretations which may or may be not based on real data. Oral variation, together with folk etymology and false interpretation are not limited to the Middle Ages. Crowdsourcing constitutes a rich source of information, more or less reliable. It is easier to dig than to filter, though. In the rich Western folklore, what seems handier is to discover how tradition is well and alive, and people may drive along versions of the same song. The exchange of information carried on, and the use of different media to convey different interpretations, seems to be useful for the analysis of textual variation and interpretation in a particular sub-field of heritage lore. The analysis of a traditional song of the West seems to be adequate for a tentative diving into that folkloric pool. Francisco A.

Perspectives for Critical Political Economy and Critical Theory. 5th ICTs and Society-Conference: The Internet and Social Media at a Crossroads: Capitalism or Commonism? Perspectives for Critical Political Economy and Critical Theory. http://icts-and-society.net/events/5th-icts-and-society-conference/ Part of the ISIS Summit Vienna 2015: Information Society at the Crossroads: Response and Responsibility of the Sciences of Information. Vienna University of Technology. Vienna, Austria June 3-7, 2015. The information society has come with the promise to restore information as a commons. The promise has not yet proven true. Instead, we face trends towards the commercialisation and commoditisation of all information; towards the totalisation of surveillance and the extension of the battlefield to civil society through information warfare; towards disinfotainment overflow; towards a collapse of the technological civilisation itself. The Vienna Summit is a multi-conference and is at the same time the 5th ICTs and Society-Conference: The Internet and Social Media at a Crossroads: Capitalism or Commonism? Perspectives for Critical Political Economy and Critical Theory. Given that the information society and the study of information face a world of crisis today and are at a crossroads, also the future of the Internet and social media are in question. The 5th ICTs and Society Conference therefore wants to focus on the questions: What are the main challenges that the Internet and social media are facing in capitalism today? What potentials for an alternative, commonist Internet are there? What are existing hindrances for such an Internet? What is the relationship of power structures, protest movements, societal developments, struggles, radical reforms, etc. to the Internet? How can critical political economy and critical theory best study the Internet and social media today? Presentations and submissions are organised in the form of 23 panel topics (ICT&S1-ICT&S23; please indicate the panel identification number to which you submit in your submisison): * ICT&S1 The Internet and Critical Theory: What does it mean to study the Internet, social media and society today in a critical way?

Near universal availability of high-quality web-based assets makes it important to pay attention to the new world of digital ecosystems and what it means for managing, using and publishing digital assets. This new book by KCL Senior Lecturer Tobias Blanke, entitled "The Ecosystem of Digital Assets" reflects on these developments and what the emerging ‘web of things’ could mean for digital assets. It looks to the future of digital asset management, focussing on the next generation web, and includes up-to date developments in the field, crowd sourcing, and cloud services. Tobias Blanke, the author, has a background in philosophy and computer science, and is currently is director of the MA in Digital Asset and Media Management for DDH.

In-Reply-To: <20141123080828.898FD7A16@digitalhumanities.org> In the 1990s, I cited that paper by Granovetter in a paper in the Journal of Interdisciplinary History when I was using Ucinet to examine social networks (hard work in those days!). The 'function' of social networks is multifaceted. The strength of weak ties is a counter-intuitive aspect, like obtaining information about employment opportunities, an example used, if I remember correctly, by Granovetter. On the other hand, most of us then were using SNA to discover density of networks for conditions like support, solidarity, reciprocity etc. On Sun, November 23, 2014 8:08 am, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 511. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: > humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2014 21:30:42 -0500 > From: Francois Lachance > Subject: Power of Weak Ties > In-Reply-To: <20140809052456.34AA4630E@digitalhumanities.org> > > > > Willard > > > Clive Thompson in Smarter Than You Think: How technology is changing > our minds for the better in the chapter on Ambient Awareness rehearses > the sociological literature on the strength of weak ties; he does so > along with compelling anecdotes from social networking.

Deadline For Proposals: January 12, 2015. The Department of Film andMedia Arts (FMA) at Temple University is delighted to host a one-day interdisciplinary symposium on Emerging Documentary Practices. The symposium is particularly focused on documentary forms that use interactivity, locative and mobile technologies in innovative ways to transform the concepts and practices of documentary cinema and media arts. The symposium welcomes documentary practitioners from across fields of social sciences, humanities and arts, from ethnographers to eco-poets. Interweaving choices of content and of form, a new generation of practitioners is reaching across creative and scholarly disciplines. This symposium embraces this discourse on theoretical and practical levels. The conversions are presented concurrently with an exhibition of documentary works using interactivity and other innovative practices. Each session will be launched with a 15 minute keynote. Each panelist will have the opportunity to present an elaborated 5 minute "proposition/question/provocation" to the panel to stimulate open conversation. Proposals will be peer reviewed. The symposium is complemented by a multi-kiosk exhibition offering speakers and others opportunities to exhibit works in the curated, peer reviewed show. The kiosks that will be available for viewing on the day and throughout the week. Longer papers supporting the discussions may also be linked, and participants may later be invited for to offer submissions for publication. The symposium is sponsored by Temple University's Department of Film and Media Arts, the Center for Humanities at Temple(CHAT) and Temple Libraries. Primary themes include: ·      SPATIAL PRACTICES e.g. geo-spatial mapping and storytelling; actual and augmented sites of memory; spatial poetics;infrastructure, industrialization and climate change; actual and imaginary cities. ·      SOCIAL PRACTICES e.g. forging community; bringing diversity and indigenous voices;oral histories and imagined futures; performing and protesting through social media; user generated works. ·      EMBODIED PERFORMANCE e.g. computer materiality and embodied actions of making, viewing; story-telling through web series, live feeds and digital happenings; practical implications of using alternative and interactive software like Korkasow, Mozilla Popcorn, Zeega, or Moviestorm upon how stories are told and image edited; the body as a source of data; disembodiment and narrative fracture.   PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS Proposals for participation, short papers (5 minute "proposition/question/provocation")and the digital exhibition of works on the dedicated kiosks should consist of aproposal statement  (max 500 words), aURL if available/relevant, and brief biographic statement (max 150 words).   Submissions should be sent in electronic form to:  edocs@temple.edu   Questions can be directed to FMA Faculty Organizers Roderick Coover and LeAnn Erickson Conference registration will occur in February. Conference fee is $40 and includes lunch. The fee is waived for Temple students and faculty. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 17:52:59 +0000 (UTC) From: Roderick Coover Subject: CFP: ELO TRANSMEDIA LITERATURE ARTS FESTIVAL CALL FOR WORKS ELO TRANSMEDIA LITERARY ARTS FESTIVAL The Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) has been a primary venue for vanguard works of electronic writing and media arts for over 15 years. Its writers and artists explore writing, language, poetics, storytelling in all their forms through innovative digital techniques as well as hybrid and critical approaches. The ELO's 2015 Transmedia Literary Arts Festival will be held in Bergen, Norway August 2015. The Festival provides an occasion for juried review, and extended display, performance and presentation, of original works and a small number of commissioned artworks designed specifically for the festival. Themes include Hybridity and Synesthesia, Interventions; Decentering and Kid-­E-­Lit. There will also be an evening of film screenings and another of performances. The festival is receiving submissions thru December 15th on Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2015. This Transmedia Arts Festival is being held in conjunction with the ELO Conference Program: End(s) of Electronic Literature. Information about the conference program and panel submissions is here: http://conference.eliterature.org/2015/call The ELO's 2015 Transmedia Literary Arts Festival will take place at venues throughout the city of Bergen and be open to the general public. The Arts Festival welcomes works that extend beyond the computer monitor and the gallery walls, such as sound works, mobile works and site-specific projects. It welcomes works that that engage the community. Some works may be considered for extended exhibition before and beyond the festival dates. Works must engage categorical themes and ELO's broad interests in words and literary forms, whether in language, image or other media.   The Committee especially welcomes submissions from artists who are new to electronic literature or who are in the beginning stages of their e-­‐literary artistic production. Artists may apply for more than one category, but if so, they should indicate a priority, generally the most recent work or work most deeply engaged with the conference themes. Submissions are being accepted for the following parts of the exhibition and performance program: Hybridity and Synesthesia: Beyond Peripheries of Form and Consciousness This aspect of the program will emphasize works, particularly installations, that push at the edges of literature and other forms, and that appeal to other aspects of the sensorium than those we typically associate with reading. Works that for example involve haptic sensation, touch-­‐based interactivity, innovative audio elements, interactive images, or locative technologies.   Interventions: Engaging the Body Politic This exhibition will feature works that engage with contemporary cultural discourse and political reality, challenging audiences to consider digital artifacts and practices that reflect and intervene in matters of the environment, social justice, and our relation to the habitus.   Decentering: Global Electronic Literature While there are strong centers of activity in electronic literature in North America and Western Europe, innovations in digital textuality are also taking place in Eastern Europe and in the Southern hemisphere. This exhibition will focus on these lesser-­‐known phenomena.   Kid-­E-­Lit: Digital Narratives for the Young The first generation of digital natives is finding a plethora of apps and interactive digital narratives made for their iPads and computers, perhaps learning how to think in a new digital vernacular. This exhibition will focus on innovations in digital reading experiences for children.   Screening Room: E-­Lit Film Festival The first ELO film festival will feature films that have been produced recently about electronic literature and related practices, and will also include screenings of types of digital literature that benefit from sustained watching, such as poetry generators and kinetic poetry.   End(s) of Electronic Literature Performances and Readings This program will feature live readings and performances of works of electronic literature. Authors are encouraged to think broadly about modes of performance, ranging from traditional readings to more theatrical styles of presentation, and to consider opportunities for site-specific interventions in public space.   Except in special instances and with works represented in the ELC3 category, artists should be present to install their works at the beginning of the festival and to discuss their works.   Exhibition will be limited to available technology. While we can try to find solutions to special requests, we can make no promises on those lines. Selection will be made for both artistic and practical reasons.   Please clearly state what technology you require and/or what you will bring, particularly if it falls outside of these parameters. Please also state if you work requires a specific operating system (Linux, Mac, etc.) If your work cannot share a station, please clearly state why not. Films for the screening should be screened as .mov files with H264 compression unless necessarily otherwise.   Submissions for above parts of the Arts program will be accepted from September 15th-­‐ December 15th on Easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2015   Festival Commissions A select number of artists may receive commissions for works that are specifically designed for this ELO festival and directly address one of its exhibition topics. Works must be original and premiere at this festival; site-related and site-specific works are encouraged. Commissions require a detailed plan of execution and presentation as well as creative discussion. If you are applying for a commission, please state if you will need to arrive in Bergen in advance of the festival to fulfill their commission goals and if you would be willing to offer a talk or workshop to students or other members of the public during the week before the festival.   ELC3 Preview Exhibition Volume 1 (2006) and Volume 2 (2011) of the Electronic Literature Collection have been influential anthologies that helped shape the field. Volume 3 (2016) is now open for submissions. This exhibition will feature selected works from the latest instantiation of this important publication. The editors of ELC3 will curate this selection. To submit work for the ELC3, see http://eliterature.org/2014/08/announcing-the-elc3/ (ELC3 submission deadline Nov. 5, 2014).   Selections will be made via a three-­‐step jury review process. Members of the arts program committee will first review submissions, and then curators for each track of the program will select works from among those ranked most positively by the committee. The suggested works will then be reviewed as a whole in relation to practical conditions. Final selections will depend on available resources and constraints of individual venues.     SUBMISSIONS https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=elo2015 *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1416765423_2014-11-23_humanist-owner@lists.digitalhumanities.org_31255.2.pdf     _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5C9B780E4; Tue, 25 Nov 2014 07:19:24 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E7D2480DD; Tue, 25 Nov 2014 07:19:23 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 277267FC5; Tue, 25 Nov 2014 07:19:20 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20141125061921.277267FC5@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 25 Nov 2014 07:19:20 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.514 the power of weak ties X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 514.

I have an interest in the topics discussed, both professionally and privately, but I am not a digital humanist (though I may admit to being a philosophical one). I am not an academic, though I once planned to be, and part of my brain seems wired to think that way. As Kurt Vonnegut says, I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all....

The Project is an independently-funded research group within the University of Cambridge; its primary purpose is to make available the full texts of more than 15,000 letters written by or to the British naturalist and evolutionary theorist, Charles Darwin (1809-82), together with the contextual material necessary to make the letters accessible to both a scholarly and general audience. The new site will require significant new development in particular of the resources for schools, and a new search interface. Those interested in tendering will need to register with the InTend system, but this takes only a few moments.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2014 12:13:13 -0700 From: Geoffrey Rockwell Subject: MA in Humanities Computing Dear colleagues, I am writing to encourage you to recommend our MA in Humanities Computing to students interested in the digital humanities, new media, informatics and game studies. We are also interested in hearing from students who want to do an interdisciplinary PhD in Humanities Computing and another subject. Please circulate this message to any interested students. The URL for the programme is: http://www.ois.ualberta.ca/en/HumanitiesComputing.aspx Some reasons why students might want to consider Humanities Computing at the University of Alberta: - We are one of the top graduate programmes in the field (established in 2001) and we have a great record of placing our students in library positions, computer lab positions, research projects, PhD programmes and industry jobs. - There is significant depth in the field at the University of Alberta. We are a leading centre in Canada. We have five faculty who are closely involved in the programme and another five adjunct faculty. We have three labs run by the Arts Resource centre for teaching and research in the field. - Students can do a 2 year thesis MA in Humanities Computing or a 3 year joint MA/MLIS (also with thesis). The double degree gives them a strong combination of academic and professional degrees with a breadth of career prospects. In both cases students can specialize in another field like (English, History, Philosophy, Music ...) should they want to continue on to a PhD in that field. There is room in the curriculum to take courses in the specialization and the thesis is then supervised jointly by someone in Humanities Computing and someone in the specialization. - We have been successful for the five last years in finding funding for most of the students that we accept including international students. In many cases the funding is with grant funded research projects so students get to be involved from the first semester in real projects that lead to conference presentations and publications. Some of the areas of research strength that students can get involved in include: - Sean Gouglas, Maureen Engel and Geoffrey Rockwell are working in the area of locative media and game studies. Sean Gouglas led the development of a MOOC on Understanding Videogames. A number of MA students contributed to it. We co-organize a conference on Japanese Game Culture with Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, Japan. - Susan Brown is leading a large project called the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory that is developing a distributed editing environment. Graduate students are managing testing of modules, doing interface design, and looking at semantic web technologies. (cwrc.ca) - Susan Brown and Geoffrey Rockwell are part of the Text Mining the Novel Partnership (??) and have projects on text mining, visualization and text analysis. Graduate students are reviewing tools, developing corpora for text mining research, building visualization tools, conducting usability research and studying literary corpora. (tapor.ca) - Peter Baskerville and Sean Gouglas are studying Canadian history through land-use and census records. Student are entering and encoding materials, linking people across records and working with GIS systems to analyze the data. (ccri.uvic.ca/) - Geoffrey Rockwell is part of the INKE project looking at new interfaces to knowledge. Students are studying historical interfaces and developing new touch-screen interfaces. (inke.ca) - Maureen Engel, along with co-investigators Heather Zwicker, Daniel Laforest and Russell Cobb, heads the Edmonton Pipelines group, a research cell that employs digital mapping and visualization techniques to provide deep spatial narratives about urban spaces. From narrating suburbia, to crowdsourcing the solstice, to creating a layered map of aboriginal Edmonton, Pipelines uses digital tools as narrative provocation to challenge our views of our urban environments. (edmontonpipelines.org) - Maureen Engel is also a co-investigator on the "Between the City and the River" project which is building a digital historical atlas of Edmonton's river valley, and a collaborator on ArtCan, a project that is building an online commons of resources on Canadian art, art history, and art education. She is an active member of HASTAC (hastac.org) and was co-chair of HASTAC 2013. (hastac2013.org) - Scott Smallwood is working on electronic musical instruments and physical computing. He teaches courses on programming, circuit bending, and physical computing. Students have worked with him to build interactives for different purposes. (solarsoundarts.com/) - Harvey Quamen is a project lead on the Editing Modernism in Canada project, which is digitizing the archives of Wilfred and Sheila Watson, two Edmonton authors. He uses big data techniques and data visualizations to investigate the contents of digital archives and was on the team that built WatsonWalk, a literary walking app of Paris.

Please note that the deadline for submissions is 8 December. There will be no extension of this deadline. In March 2014, the web celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday. This vast information resource is of enormous importance to scholars, both as a primary source and as a means of networking and communication. It is, however, strikingly ephemeral, and much important data has already been lost. The archiving of this vast range of material, so that it is accessible to both contemporary and future researchers, increasingly occupies national memory institutions, and researchers are also beginning to realise and explore its value. This conference seeks to explore the potential of web archives for scholarly use, to highlight innovative research, to investigate the challenges and opportunities of working with the archived web, to identify opportunities for incorporating web archives in learning and teaching, and to discuss and inform archival provision. This multi-disciplinary conference is aimed at scholars, web archiving institutions, web archivists, curators, IT-developers, companies and public institutions interested in web archiving and research using web archives.

The conference will take place in Grenoble, from the 2nd to the 4th of September 2015. The goal of this conference is twofold: at the same time an assessment of existing methodologies and a looking forward to new ones. It also has the objective of evaluating current practices of the application of Digital Humanities to the study of antiquity, practices which are quite numerous but also sometimes disconnected from each other and without an overall understanding. The conference also aims to contribute toward the design of new projects and the opening new paths, by establishing a dialogue between scholars for whom the Digital Humanities are already familiar and those wishing to acquire knowledge and practice in this domain. The confirmed Keynote speakers are Gregory Crane (Tufts University & University of Leipzig) and Charlotte Roueché (King’s College London). The conference will be preceded by a workshop, particularly aimed at doctoral students, but open to everybody. The study of Antiquity encompass very large geographical, historical and linguistic domains: from the Mediterranean to the borders of Europe and Asia, from the end of Prehistory to the Middle Ages, and from Greek and Latin to the languages of the Near and Middle East. This study is also distributed among different disciplines: Linguistics, Philology, Literary Criticism, Philosophy, History, Archaeology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, etc. In all these disciplinary traditions, the application of computational techniques has been employed for several decades now, an application that has left quite a strong mark on the study of Antiquity. The employment of digital methods has also enabled substantial changes of methodology, the extent of which remains to be assessed. Considering the diversity of such approaches in a context of research which is more and more internationalised, it seems worthwhile to present to scholars and PhD students an overview of current research in order to develop future endeavours. The conference will be organised around four key topics: Editions of literary texts; Study of scholia and commentaries; Archaeology and Epigraphy; Prosopography and historical geography. Papers will focus on methodological questions and/or discuss general issues emerging within such topics. We also encourage proposals of posters presenting work in progress. Please send your proposals of up to 300 words, in French or English (which will be the languages of the conference) by the 15th of January 2015 to the organisers: icogitore@msh-alpes.fr elena.pierazzo@u-grenoble3.fr NB: In order to encourage the participation of young researchers, we will provide a limited number of bursaries. If you wish to be considered for one of these then please include a letter of motivation with your application. ========================= [French version] Le colloque «Humanités numériques : l’exemple de l’Antiquité», qui aura lieu à Grenoble du 2 au 4 septembre 2015, est organisé par l’Université Grenoble 3, l’Université Grenoble 2, la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme-Alpes, The Humboldt Chair for Digital Humanities, HISOMA. L’ambition de ce colloque est double, tournée vers du bilan et des perspectives, dans une orientation méthodologique. Ainsi, il a pour objectif de faire le point sur les pratiques actuelles, déjà nombreuses, mais souvent éparses, dans le domaine des humanités numériques appliquées à l’étude de l’Antiquité. En outre, il contribuera à définir de nouveaux projets et à ouvrir des pistes nouvelles en établissant un dialogue entre des spécialistes déjà habitués au numérique et des enseignants-chercheurs désireux de développer leurs connaissances et leur pratique dans ce domaine. Les keynote speakers ayant confirmé leur participation sont Gregory Crane (Tufts University & Univ. of Leipzig) et Charlotte Roueché (King’s College London). Les deux jours de colloque proprement dit (3 et 4 septembre) seront précédés d’une journée d’ateliers destinés spécialement aux doctorants mais ouvertes aussi aux enseignants chercheurs. Les sciences de l’Antiquité embrassent un très large domaine géographique (de la Méditerranée aux confins de l’Europe et de l’Asie), historique (de la fin de la Préhistoire au début du Moyen Âge) et linguistique (principalement grec et latin, mais sans négliger les langues du Proche- et Moyen-Orient). Elles reposent également sur des traditions disciplinaires variées : linguistique, philologie, critique littéraire, philosophie, histoire, archéologie, épigraphie, numismatique, etc. Dans toutes ces traditions disciplinaires, l’application de technologies numériques a connu, depuis plusieurs décennies, un développement considérable, qui n’a pas manqué de se marquer aussi dans les sciences de l’Antiquité. Les technologies numériques ont permis des renouvellements méthodologiques, dont nous n’avons pas encore pris toute la mesure. Devant la diversité de ces approches, dans un contexte de plus en plus internationalisé, il semble intéressant de proposer aux enseignants-chercheurs et aux doctorants un tour d’horizon de la recherche actuelle, qui permettra de dégager des perspectives pour le futur. Quatre axes ont été retenus : éditions de textes littéraires ; études de scholies et commentaires ; archéologie et épigraphie ; prosopographie et géographie. Les communications devront porter sur des questions méthodologiques et/ou poser des problèmes inhérents à ces démarches. Il est également possible de proposer des posters présentant des projets en cours. Les propositions de communication ou de posters (300 mots maximum, en français ou anglais, qui seront les langues de communication du colloque) sont à adresser au comité d’organisation : icogitore@msh-alpes.fr elena.pierazzo@u-grenoble3.fr au plus tard le 15 janvier 2015 NB : Quelques bourses sont prévues pour permettre la participation des jeunes chercheurs et doctorants. Si vous êtes intéressés par cette aide, merci de l’indiquer et d’argumenter votre demande par une lettre de motivation. -- Elena Pierazzo Professor of Italian Studies and Digital Humanities Bureau F307 Université de Grenoble 3 'Stendhal' BP 25 38040 Grenoble Cedex 9 Tel. +33 4 76828032 Visiting Senior Research Fellow King's College London Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2014 12:03:29 +0000 From: "Vitale, Valeria" Subject: Linking Ancient People, Places, Objects and Texts. A round table discussion Dear all, we are delighted to invite you to: Linking Ancient People, Places, Objects and Texts a round table discussion Gabriel Bodard (KCL), Daniel Pett (British Museum), Humphrey Southall (Portsmouth), Charlotte Tupman (KCL); with response by Eleanor Robson (UCL) 18:00, Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014 Anatomy Museum, Strand Building 6th Floor (http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/campuses/download/KBLevel6forweb.pdf) King's College London, Strand London WC2R 2LS As classicists and ancient historians have become increasingly reliant on large online research tools over recent years, it has become ever more imperative to find ways of integrating those tools. Linked Open Data (LOD) has the potential to leverage both the connectivity, accessibility and universal standards of the Web, and the power, structure and semantics of relational data. This potential is being used by several scholars and projects in the area of ancient world and historical studies. The SNAP:DRGN project (snapdrgn.net) is using LOD to bring together many technically varied databases and authorities lists of ancient persons into a single virtual authority file; the Pleiades gazetteer and service projects such as Pelagios and PastPlace are creating open vocabularies for historical places and networks of references to them. Museums and other heritage institutions are at the forefront of work to encode semantic archaeological and material culture data, and projects such as Sharing Ancient Wisdoms (ancientwisdoms.ac.uk) and the Homer Multitext (homermultitext.org) are developing citation protocols and an ontology for relating texts with variants, translations and influences. The panel will introduce some of these key projects and concepts, and then the audience will be invited to participate in open discussion of the issues and potentials of Linked Ancient World Data. We hope to see you there.

Furthermore, these immersive spaces offer an innovative > solution to the problem most humanities scholars face--that is, they > lack direct access to events, phenomena, and sites of interest for > their research. Using VR in computational humanities opens up the > possibility of time and space travel, letting people actively > participate in the story being told, experience the events firsthand, > and interact with (or even become one of) the environment's > characters. Apart from the radical simplification of the field, contracted to simulation, isn't it interesting that the author should hold up accurate representation as the scholars' goal and space-time travel as scholarship? How widespread are such notions?

We have a special interest in proposals for Digital Humanities, Digital Heritage, Spatial Humanities, and cross-disciplinary humanities research. Eastern ARC scholarships: http://www.kent.ac.uk/scholarships/postgraduate/eastern_arc.html Eastern ARC is the new research consortium, uniting research capacity in the Digital Humanities and heritage at the universities of Kent, Essex, and UEA. At Kent we are particularly interested in proposals on past built environments, ancient cities, and comparative urbanism, among a few other key areas. CHASE scholarships: http://www.kent.ac.uk/scholarships/postgraduate/research_council/ahrc.html CHASE is an Arts and Humanities (AHRC) funded doctoral training centre in which seven universities collaborate. Here we are particularly interested in interdisciplinary humanities research, certainly still including archaeological and historical disciplines and the Digital or Spatial Humanities. 50th Anniversary scholarships: http://www.kent.ac.uk/scholarships/postgraduate/50th_anniversary.html Kent is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2015 and is funding additional PhD places in honour of this milestone. These are open to excellent students from all disciplines. I am personally involved in the Eastern ARC, but please don't hesitate to get in touch on any of these opportunities. Please do pass this message on to any colleagues, friends, and excellent students to whom this could be of interest! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Dr Benjamin N.

Take heart! The deadline for submissions has been extended by a week to December 8, 2014. The conference itself will take place from June 1-3, 2015 in Ottawa. Some student travel bursaries will be available, as well as two Lisa Lena Opas-Hänninen Young Scholar Prizes and the Ian Lancashire Student Promise Award. There will be keynote presentations from Amy Earhart, Wendy Chun and the recipient of the CSDH Outstanding Achievement Award. Come one, come all!

The conference will run over four days for three hours each because we want to maximize the geographic range while reaching people in reasonable times of the day. (Not everyone is so lucky -- our colleagues Donald Sturgeon and John S. Y. Lee in Hong Kong are, for example, gamely preparing to present in the middle of the night). We will post the final information about connecting on the following link: http://www.dh.uni-leipzig.de/wo/workshop-december-2014/greek-and-latin-in-an-age-of-open-data-schedule/ Our plan is to livestream the presentations and to store them on the new Digital Humanities at Leipzig YouTube channel. This is our first attempt at this and the one thing that I am most sure of is that we will run into all sorts of disasters and mishaps. But as we become accustomed to using this new technology in this (we use it all the time for multiparty video-conferencing among our far-flung collaborators), we are able to engage a wider audience than if we made everyone come to Leipzig. All are welcome!

It is published by College Publications Background • The International Federation of Computational Logic (IfCoLog) sponsors • THREE logic journals, two published by OUP (The Logic J of the IGPL and the Journal of Logic and Computation) and one published by Elsevier (Journal of Applied Logic) • Both the OUP Journals are highly successful (many submissions and high impact factor) • The community has expressed a desire for some form of open access. So the same people involved in the journals above started this new journal. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id DE4DE6A99; Tue, 2 Dec 2014 07:11:16 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A2A336A5C; Tue, 2 Dec 2014 07:11:16 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D91A56A5C; Tue, 2 Dec 2014 07:11:14 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141202061114.D91A56A5C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 2 Dec 2014 07:11:14 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.525 a new computational humanities X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 525.

How widespread are such notions? Can work outside of scholarship still be considered "Humanities"? I understand this is a scholarly listserv, but here are my two cents as a non-Humanities scholar trying to make complex materials more available to people via new technology. One could argue that creating accurate simulations is not scholarship, but is still valuable and falls under the Humanities mantle. It is certainly impossible to create a "realistic" (accurate is impossible) historical simulation without drawing on the scholarly fields of history, archeology and anthropology - so is it applied scholarship? And can novel representations serve as launchpad to new scholarship and interpretation? This relates to an ongoing question - what is the role of the non-scholar working in a Humanities ecosystem? I'm not a professional scholar - I'm a visualization/database person who loves making historically-inaccessible images and information more accessible to people using New Media platforms. I look at this as the librarian or archivist role - creating entry-points that enable (and improve?) Humanities scholarship. Occasionally while processing materials (and reframing the materials in a new way) I may come up with/run into a scholarly insight, but that is not the goal. My intention is to give people interested in the Humanities better access to materials and information. Sophisticated knowledge about a Humanities subject requires years of study and focus - I'm focusing my attention differently. I'm developing an understanding of New Media representation and presentation, but not about any specific area of Humanities.

I hear colleagues who work in visualisation talk about the problem of how photo-realism, say in a VR representation of an ancient building which survives only in fragments, can be dangerously misleading. What then is an accurate representation? The most obvious response, I suppose, is one that informs the viewer somehow of the difference between that which survives and that which is inferred, ideally representing degrees of certainty. But what if as the scholar with the questions you're interested not in the appearance of a site but some performance that happened in it? What if you want enough of an illusion to be able to imagine a play that happened in the virtually reconstructed theatre, or the sermon preached in the reconstructed space? I'd suppose that you do not want an *inaccurate* representation, but in the circumstance I am imagining, accuracy is just a stepping-stone. I wonder further if this isn't quite close to the historian's tricky question of getting to "what actually happened" (von Ranke's famous phrase). Even if counterfactual history is your thing, I'd think you'd be doing it in order better to illumine what did (in some sense actually) happen. Historians are quite sensitive about counterfactual studies and about the degree to which history-writing is creative. At the same time an accurate, let us say complete, chronological account is not a history, only the beginning of one. I like to think of Aristotle's distinction between history (what actually happened) and poetry (the kind of thing that is always happening) as a range of possibilities. Where you are in that range depends on what you're after, or allowed to be after depending on the academic values of the time. How imaginative is work in digital humanities allowed to be? If what you do is find, organize and maintain an archive for the historian to use, then I'd suppose your goals are different from the historian's. An archivist could be an historian, but his or her professional, institutional life would likely be different. If what you do is to edit texts, you produce a work of scholarship as accurately as possible, but 'accurate' in this instance also must be qualified. Would you count yourself, or be counted by others, as a literary critic? If you also did literary criticism, otherwise not, but editorial decisions are, I'd suppose, likely to be informed by literary concerns. I think I'm meandering my way to two kinds of statements: (1) the map is not the territory; and (2) your work can be of great value to a group to which you don't belong but whose goals and methods you understand. And there's perhaps another: (3) each practice, discipline or field of activity needs autonomy just as each person does. As an archivist or textual editor what makes you especially valuable is your resistance to the historical or literary-critical fashions of the moment. Comments?

One of [Count Alfred Korzybski's] most quoted sentences is, /"*The map is not the territory*"/. In other words, don't confuse the word with the object, the description with the thing itself. People who want to sell you something intentionally take advantage of this confusion. For instance, political speeches, TV commercials and Fox News use language rife with "truthiness" instead of truth and containing "factoids", not facts. That's way better than "The Medium is the Message," I'm not really a fan of McLuhan (maybe that's not a meaningful comparison). Related to the subject: Here's a final manifesto (published in 1878 three years before his death) by "Rev. R.W. Eyton, M.A. late Rector of Ryton." I've taken it to heart, though I ran into it by chance during the course of work. It's a preface by Robert Eyton, a 19th-Century English history scholar who claims (hah!) not to "aspire to, he carefully avoids, the domains of historical philosophy or political science" but and is gathering "facts...for the use of some genuine and impartial Historian who may come hereafter." Regardless of whether one agrees with his view, it is a great piece of writing. - Andrew Taylor Eyton, Robert William, 1815-1881 | https://archive.org/details/courthouseholdit00eyto Facts ; simple facts ; where they were accomplished ; when they were accomplished ; who accomplished them ; and what was said as to how they were accomplished at the time of their coming to pass ; these are the primary and most essential ele- ments of pure history. Estimates of causes and consequences, physical or moral ; of personal intellect, mind, or character; of individual feelings, motives, or principles ; of social forces or influences ; of national or party creeds, whether religious or political; these indeed all belong to real history, but they are not its primary elements : they are its superstructures, they are deductions, they are calcu- lations from, or upon, those elements. They subsist on facts, on facts analysed, facts pluralized, facts combined. Rightly conceived they form the philosophy of history, wrongly conceived they exhibit only the bigotry of prejudice or the folly of opinion. Broadly and honestly worked-out, such estimates will endure for all time as the credentials of the true Historian : garbled or narrowly dealt-with, they will obtain but an ephemeral currency. Posterity will regard them only as the badges of the essayist, the sophist, or the partisan. The following pages claim nothing more than to be the diligent and honest work of a mere Indicator, or Registrar, or compiler of facts. They are not intended to propagate, recommend, or even announce any form of political theory or metaphysical opinion as entertained by the compiler. In other words, he does not aspire to, he carefully avoids, the domains of historical philosophy and of political science ; he will never willingly enter upon any discussion of moral questions, or any debate as to personal qualities or conduct. He only affects to supply a broad basis of facts, references, dates, places, names, and documents, for the use of some genuine and impartial Historian who may come hereafter to review the reign and biography of Henry Fitz Em- press ; and who may prefer rather to take his stand of observation among the things and doings themselves, than to contemplate the twelfth century through the haze or halo of the nineteenth. -- Andrew Taylor, MLS Associate Curator, Visual Resources Department of Art History, Rice University 713-348-4836 https://twitter.com/agrahamt _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id EC4DE65CD; Wed, 3 Dec 2014 09:22:11 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 68C9766BC; Wed, 3 Dec 2014 09:22:11 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 91E6B69B8; Wed, 3 Dec 2014 09:22:09 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141203082209.91E6B69B8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 09:22:09 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.530 sharing bibliographic information?

Minimally, it needs to be free and open-source, multi-user, Unicode-friendly, run the server on Linux or OSX, and allow for the input, editing and retrieval of bibliographic information in BiBTeX and EndNote formats through a web interface. Ideally it would be possible to load many records at once, at least through the backend; have the capacity to attach PDFs and notes; integrate with interesting front-ends like Moodle; be relatively easy to set up; and use a standard back-end like PostgreSQL or MySQL. Zotero is neither open-source nor free, and while I am sure we could have a long discussion, let's not ;-). So far, I've found Basilic (http://artis.imag.fr/Software/Basilic/ http://artis.imag.fr/Software/Basilic/ ) -- looks a bit old. Refbase (http://www.refbase.net/index.php/Web_Reference_Database http://www.refbase.net/index.php/Web_Reference_Database ) Wikindx (http://wikindx.sourceforge.net http://wikindx.sourceforge.net/ ) Is there a standard? Do folks have good or bad experiences with use, administration or support of any of these? I'll summarise and post responses. Many thanks.

The conversation led to a statement released today in Hong Kong. The authors are Yongqi Lou (Dean at Tongji University College of Design and Innovation), Don Norman (Director of the Design Lab at University of California), Pieter Jan Stappers (Professor at Delft University of Technology Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering), Ena Voûte (Dean at Delft), Patrick Whitney (Dean of the Illinois Institute of Technology Institute of Design) and myself. You’ll also recognise some of the names from the other hats they wear — Don is author of twenty books, including the global best-seller, Design of Everyday Things; Ena was a senior executive at Phillips until taking on the Delft deanship; Pieter Jan is co-author of Convivial Design. The others are equally distinguished within the design field and in international design research. I’m sending you a copy of the DesignX statement. We are releasing this through as many channels as possible to encourage wide public debate. I hope you will share it with your network of colleagues and friends.

CFP: Born Digital: Reformatting Humanities in the 21st Century ? Important Dates: December 15th, 2014: Abstract Submission Deadline January 1st, 2015: Notification of Acceptance ?Call for Papers Keynote Speaker: Dr. Lev Manovich The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Miami is pleased to announce its annual graduate student conference, "Born-Digital: Reformatting Humanities in the 21st Century" to be held March 20-21, 2015. This conference is sponsored by The Joseph Carter Memorial Fund. In Born-Digital: Understanding the First Generation of Digital Natives (2008), John Palfrey and Urs Gasser explore how the proliferation of new technologies informs the perceived realities of "digital natives" (those born in the digital age) and the "digital immigrants" who have experienced the movement toward digitization during their lifetime. Differences among members of these groups include, for example, how they express their identities in real and virtual spaces, how they perceive their level of connectedness to others, and how they express themselves creatively. Comprising both "native" and "immigrant" scholars and students, the digital humanities are a key field in which these differences play out-an already digital (born-digital) phenomenon as well as a field undergoing digitization. This conference considers how humanities are already digital, the purposes of digitizing the humanities, how "natives" and "immigrants" can work together to deepen our understanding of the human experience, and the advantages and challenges that digital efforts create for scholarship and teaching. What key debates and in-novative projects do the digital humanities foster? Seeking to provide a platform for new research as well as introduction to the digital humanities for conference attendees, we encourage papers that consider topics from a variety of disciplines and theoretical approaches. We are particularly interested in papers that consider the digital humanities (DH) from an international perspective. Potential areas of inquiry include: * DH and media * DH and the arts * DH and computer-based applications * DH and data mining * DH and peer to peer applications * Multicultural and multilingual areas of DH * DH and pedadogy * DH and crowdsourcing * DH and social justice * DH and cultural mapping * DH and gender studies * DH and race We invite proposals in English, French, Portuguese, or Spanish. Proposals should include an abstract of 200 words, the author's name, a short bio, and institutional affiliation. Please submit abstracts via e-mail to borndigital2015@gmail.com. The keynote lecture featuring Dr. Manovich will be free and open to the public. Dr. Manovich will also lead a workshop, but this will require prior registration by participants. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5C1DF787F; Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:01:29 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DCE437875; Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:01:28 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 538A3782E; Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:01:16 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141204060116.538A3782E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:01:16 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.534 LLC becomes DSH X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 534.

Edward Vanhoutte Editor-in-Chief, Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (DSH) DSH is a brand new Journal which publishes original contributions on digital scholarship in the humanities, and yet it is almost 30 years old. As the successor to and the continuation of Literary and Linguistic Computing (LLC), the Journal of Digital Scholarship in the Humanities is the longest standing journal in the field. At the same time, it is the latest addition to an exciting range of online and print scholarly journals devoted to the Digital Humanities. After almost 30 years of publishing international peer reviewed scholarly papers in the continuously evolving field of what is now called the Digital Humanities, the Journal's name did not cover the subject anymore. Back in 1986, when the Journal was founded by the Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing [ALLC], literary and linguistic computing was exactly what it was all about. The first issue of Literary and Linguistic Computing [1986] published papers on authorship, style, meaning, text processing, linguistics, and lexicometrics. In 2015, the festive 30th volume of the Journal will publish papers on oral history, film, ontologies, digital collections, and data modelling next to other papers of a more literary and linguistic nature. Therefore, the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations [ADHO] and the European Association for Digital Humanities [EADH], who own the Journal, together with the journal's editorial team, have decided to rebrand it in order to provide a better representation of the current digital research in the Humanities. From 2015 onwards, the Journal will appear as DSH. Digital Scholarship in the Humanities will cover all digital scholarship undertaken in the Humanities in its widest meaning. The Journal will include, but will not limit itself to the Digital Humanities and welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from fields akin or related to the Digital Humanities. Being the Journal of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations [ADHO], which currently groups 7 international professional associations, the targeted readership is still the DH community. However, by moving the emphasis from one or other definition of the field to digital scholarly activity, and thus to scholars active in the Humanities, DSH hopes to broaden the interest and the scope in, of and about the field. Because there is plenty of room left in our big tent. Best wishes, Edward Vanhoutte Editor-in-Chief DSH Digital Scholarship in the Humanities _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 8BBBD7991; Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:10:37 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4CDB27910; Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:10:37 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D36BF7910; Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:10:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141204061034.D36BF7910@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 07:10:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.535 jobs at McGill & NYU; PhD studentships at East Anglia X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 535.

Misa" Subject: ACM History Committee --> 2015 fellowship + workshop Hello all, An announcement of the ACM History Committee's upcoming 2015 support for research in computing history. As in the past, ACM HC will directly support research projects with an award up to $4,000. This year we plan on holding the (already announced) research workshop in conjunction with the SHOT and SIGCIS annual meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico during 8-11 October 2015 (precise details to be finessed). Prior awardees will be receiving an invitation to attend this workshop, also with a travel supplement. You can see the list of past ACM HC awards here: A "word of wisdom" to the community: ACM HC believes it has been successful in funding top-quality history research, and a number of people on this list have benefitted. The necessary payback, however, is to make certain that ACM HC hears from awardees about any papers, presentations, lectures, or other outcomes from the funded project. We keep a list of such "project deliverables" at the page listed above. Great projects and well-reported outcomes . . . continuing enthusiasm for future funding of research projects . . . . Best, Tom Misa ACM History Committee chair =============================================== ACM History Committee Call for Proposals 2015 Research Workshop on ACM History The Association for Computing Machinery, founded in 1947, is the oldest and largest educational and scientific society dedicated to the computing profession, and today has more than 100,000 members around the world. To help illuminate ACM’s history the ACM History Committee (ACM-HC) will organize a workshop in conjunction with the SHOT and SIGCIS annual meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico during 8-11 October 2015. Beginning in 2009 ACM-HC has supported nearly 20 research projects on ACM’s storied history. These projects have examined ACM’s activities in computer science education, accreditation, and international exchanges; ACM’s founding and early organization; ACM’s Turing Award; regional computing communities and federal government policy; advocacy and recruitment; and research in graphics, hypertext, networking, and artificial intelligence. We invite research projects that relate to one or more of the following workshop themes: Public policy, government relations, and computing Computing education and professionalization Organizational innovation: special-interest groups, conferences, and publications in computing We will support up to four projects with awards of up to $3,000 each. Successful candidates may be of any rank, from graduate students through senior researchers. All awardees must be willing to present a paper to the ACM history workshop in mid-October 2015. A $1,500 supplement for workshop travel, lodging, and meals will be provided—in addition to this project award. Previous ACM HC awardees will be invited to the workshop and similarly supported. To Apply: Applicants should send a 2-page CV as well as a 750-word project description that [a] describes the proposed research; [b] identifies the importance of specific ACM historical materials, whether traditional archival collections or online historical materials (oral histories, digitized conference papers, ACM organizational records, etc.); [c] discusses any project outcome besides the ACM history workshop (e.g. journal article, book or dissertation chapter, teaching resource, museum exhibit, website); and [d] outlines a timeline for completing the project—including, specifically, your willingness to contribute a 10-page (2500-word) paper to the mid-October 2015 ACM history workshop. Workshop papers will be pre-circulated to workshop attendees; revised papers may be published. In preparing a proposal, applicants should examine the document “ACM Research Materials” posted at as well as “Sources for ACM History,” CACM 50 #5 (May 2007): 36-41 . Other research materials relating to ACM may also be used. Applicants should include a letter of endorsement from their home institution or an external scholarly reference.

As part of the Europeana Newspapers project, The European Library http://www.theeuropeanlibrary.org/tel4/ developed a historic newspapers browser that enables users to perform full-text searches in millions of historic newspaper pages. “For the first time in history we have the opportunity to do transnational comparative research on the basis of big data!“ says Toine Pieters, digital humanities researcher from the University of Utrecht. The prototype interface has undergone usability testing in spring 2014. On the basis of the recommendations received, The European Library simplified the search page and made it possible to browse the content by date, newspaper title and geographic map. Before the end of the project a further usability study will be carried out to test the improvements made. While the amount of content in the browser continues to grow rapidly one can already explore 1.8 million historic newspaper issues and perform full-text searches across 7 million pages. By the end of January 2015, the browser will contain around 30 million newspaper pages from 25 libraries in 23 European countries. Users will be able to search: * full text of more than 10 million historic newspaper pages of which 2 million have been enhanced with Optical Layout Recognition, allowing to search and display on article level. In addition, resources for named entity recognition have been produced for Dutch, German and French which will enable searches over person and geographic names; * metadata records of over 20 million historic newspaper pages. “Having access to newspapers from across Europe….allows us to look for circulation, not only for origins: to study routes rather than roots, to work on what we call transliteratures.” says Amélia Sanz, researcher and professor of comparative literature and cyber culture at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Moreover one can explore the historic newspapers as well as millions of other cultural heritage items at Europeana.eu http://europeana.eu/ , which recently embedded the historic newspaper viewer. The viewer is also available through The European Library for other cultural heritage institutions to embed in their digital environment. "For researchers, such as historians, journalists, fact-checkers and genealogists, Europeana Newspapers will be the most important portal to consult historic newspapers in Europe. A source of great importance in construction.“ says Eric Hennekam, archive specialist, member of the Association of Professional Genealogists and visiting lecturer at the faculty of journalism of the University of Groningen, VU University Amsterdam and the Flemish Mediacademy.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 4 Dec 2014 13:56:41 +0000 From: "Niall O'Leary" Subject: Hidden Words from the Twentieth Century -- Unpublished Collections of Spoken Irish Hello Everyone, I wanted to alert you to the launch of a new Irish language website, "Focail Fholaithe", or "Hidden Words" on 02/12/14 at the Royal Irish Academy. The Foclóir na Nua-Ghaeilge (FNG) project, in the Royal Irish Academy, has in its possession a large collection of manuscripts, in which there are Irish words, phrases and notes collected from native Irish speakers all over the country during the twentieth century. Among them is a 500 page collection from Connemara by Tomás de Bhaldraithe (1916–1996), two thousand pages of examples collected by Seosamh Ó Dálaigh (1909–1992) in Munster, and another collection of the same size by Séamus Ó Grianna (1889–1969) in Ulster. With support from the Research Project Grant Scheme 2013 of the Irish Research Council, the staff of FNG were able to put together a research team to make these collections available to the public, in searchable format, free of charge, through http://focailfholaithe.fng.ie. There are over twenty thousand entries in the database at this stage, along with other supporting information from the manuscripts, and it is hoped that, depending on funding, the project will be further developed in the future. “Hidden words” were found among the entries on the database, i.e. words and phrases not found in twentieth century printed dictionaries. These are also found on the website. It is vital that this richness of language is preserved, so that scholars and learners of Irish can access them, or they will be lost. All the best, Niall O'Leary _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00,SPF_PASS autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id B43157BAA;

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 07:05:54 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: immersion? Somewhere I have a cartoon from the 1960s of a teenaged boy who constructs a game machine, an XBox sort of thing, from a kit, hooks it to a television in his room, then peels off his clothes and dives through the screen into the Edenic world it reveals, complete with an Eve. Since then, as we all know, the technology for immersive visualisation has vastly improved so that compelling illusions are within reach. No doubt these will only get better and better, which is to say, more and more compelling. What, I wonder, is the scholarly future of such things? There's a fair bit of opinion against photorealistic VR at least in archaeology, the argument being that one should know what is solidly known and what is conjectural -- just as in older forms of reconstructive archaeology. But providing one could switch on or off indication of whether bits of information are inferential, it would seem that a grown-up, educated version of that teenager's desire for immersion could result in interesting extensions to scholarship, if not better scholarship. As Stuart Dunn indicates in his review of ORBIS in the Journal of Digital Humanities 1.3 (2012), these are not the same thing necessarily, indicating further the possibility of new ideas of what 'scholarship' includes. Is the word "interface" getting less and less what we want? Veit Erlmann, in Reason and Resonance: A History of Modern Aurality (Zone Books, 2010), makes a strong case for a different idea of reasoning based also on the ear as well as the eye. In 2002 Marshall Soules, in "Animating the Language Machine: Computers and Performance" (CHum 36.3), pulled in aurality in the form of improvisational music as well as theatre, with the help of Brenda Laurel's Computers as Theatre (1992). For a long time work along such lines has been presented as pedagogical, for example counterfactual simulations of history (from at least the mid 1980s) -- partially in order to find some outlet for possibilities that would not provoke conservative censure? What do you suppose the near-term future of immersive scholarship looks like epistemologically?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 16:24:49 +0000 From: Susan Schreibman Subject: opportunity for a virtual world developer Maynooth University We have an exciting opportunity for a programmer/researcher with to be part of a collaborative project hosted by Maynooth University and Trinity College Dublin who together form a node in the Humanities Virtual World Consortium (HVWC). The HVWC is developing an infrastructure to enable significant and sustainable humanistic inquiry in virtual worlds. The Consortium is developing a Unity3D-based platform to create a web-accessible, multi-player virtual world system to support four distinct research projects, each designed to use the virtual world as the primary means of both conducting and communicating research. The goal of the project based at MU/TCD is create a simulation of the Battle of Mount Street Bridge which took place during the Easter Rising of 1916. The project, entitled "Contested Memories: The Battle of Mount Street Bridge" will utilize a variety of primary sources such as witness statements, ballistics and geospatial and temporal information to create a simulation of this iconic battle in order to address outstanding historical research questions.

This symposium seeks to examine the interdisciplinary nature of digital humanities scholarship, including the involvement of arts, sciences, and social sciences. Topics may include but are not limited to: · Digital research in Humanities disciplines like Literature, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Modern Languages, and Cultural/Ethnic/Women’s Studies · Digital Humanities Pedagogy, or dissemination of DH theories and practices · Visualization, analysis, and computational representations of humanities content · Sustainability of digital projects and information lifecycles, esp. for humanist topics · Public humanities in digital environments · Humanities computing and data curation · Humanist concerns in Digital Arts, Architecture, and Design · Digital Performing arts (music and theatre) · Collaborative partnerships for digital work between humanities and/or social sciences and the sciences Abstract or submission topics will be divided into the following categories: · Paper/Presentation (15-20 minutes) · Abstract length: 250-500 words · Pecha Kucha (15-20 slides shown for 20 seconds each; 5 - 6:40 minutes) · Abstract length: 250-500 words · Poster Presentations · Abstract: 250-500 words We encourage both scholars, undergraduate, and graduate students to submit abstracts for Pecha Kucha and poster presentations. Proposal Deadlines Deadline for all abstracts: 16 Jan 2015. Please submit abstracts to dhcenter@ksu.edu. Please include your name and, where applicable, institutional affiliations. *If interested, presenters may choose (optional, not required) to have their posters, slides, or papers published in the symposium proceedings, published open access via K-State’s New Prairie Press. These documents will be made publicly available on the conference website. Along with plenary speakers Matt Cohen (Associate Professor of English, University of Texas at Austin, http://www.utexas.edu/cola/depts/english/faculty/mc37894 ) and Jeff McClurken (Professor of History and American Studies & Special Assistant to the Provost for Teaching, Technology, and Innovation University of Mary Washington, http://mcclurken.org/), the symposium will offer lively presentations and discussions from DH scholars, librarians, and digital artists. Please direct inquiries to the DH team at > for additional information. Workshop information The DH Symposium will begin with a day of workshops on 27 Feb 2015. See below for information about the morning and afternoon workshops. (We plan to schedule participants for the workshop in mid- to late January.) Integrating Digital Humanities in Pedagogy: Choosing Courses, Learning Objectives and Tools Workshop leader: Jeff McClurken (Professor of History and American Studies & Special Assistant to the Provost for Teaching, Technology, and Innovation, University of Mary Washington, http://mcclurken.org/) This workshop will be aimed at working through the practical and pedagogical choices about creating a digital humanities course. We will explore sample syllabi, discuss potential projects, survey various tools, and identify obvious and not-so-obvious pitfalls to constructing a class that engages students in the scholarship and practice related to digital humanities. [Not in the humanities? Come join us anyway. Most of these ideas and approaches apply to incorporating technology into any course.] Note: while there are no formal prerequisites to this workshop, please come with ideas for a course that you can discuss with the other workshop participants. Practicing Digital Humanities in the Classroom: Tools and Methods Workshop Leaders: Lis Pankl (Faculty and Graduate Librarian, Kansas State University), Casey Hoeve (Content Development Librarian, Kansas State University), and Alex Stinson (Digital Humanities Specialist, Kansas State University) As an extension of the first workshop, we will focus on integrating Digital Humanities in the classroom by exploring a variety of DH-related resources http://guides.lib.k-state.edu/content.php?pid=554274&sid=4568514 available at K-State as well as introducing a specific pedagogy intervention: students writing Wikipedia articles for classroom assignments. Often replacing research papers and/or literature reviews, these assignments ask students to practice disciplinary research and writing skills to fill gaps for a public audience. This workshop will explore the tools available through the Wikipedia Education Program, common assignment design concerns, example assignments run by faculty at Kansas State University in English and Art History, examination of how the program's lessons learned can be applied to other digital assignments, and provide time for developing a Wikipedia assignment for your own classroom. Examples will be focused on Humanities topics, but faculty in all disciplines are welcome! --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Dec 2014 14:02:54 +0000 From: Beryl Graham Subject: Curators' Professional Development short course, London Feb 2015 CURATING ART AFTER NEW MEDIA - PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT COURSE http://www.macurating.net/shortcourse.htm 22nd-28th February 2015, Central London In 2014 this course ran with curators from Hong Kong, Austria, The Netherlands, Ireland, USA and the UK. This intensive week-long course in London is aimed at curators, exhibition organisers, educators and others working with contemporary art. The course will critically examine how contemporary curating can best match contemporary art practices, including practices that might be collaborative, or participatory. Since new media including social networking, augmented reality and open source have changed thinking on how art works in time and space, this course aims to update professional knowledge in the field. The local, national and international contexts of curating are rigourously examined. Visits to discuss with curators at organisations include in 2015: V&A - Senior Curator, Word and Image Department. WELLCOME COLLECTION - Exhibitions Curator. ODI (Open Data Insitute) - Art Associate SERPENTINE - Curator of Digital THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S GALLERY - Curator (Digital Programme) THE WHITE BUILDING - Head of Art and Technology.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2014 07:51:35 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: exploring our conversations Allow me to direct your attention to some ingenious and fascinating work done by David McClure (who is almost exactly as old as Humanist) with the collected words from all of Humanist, 1987 to the present. See http://humanist.dclure.org/#-188.19/-174.25/1.00 and his blogged explanation at http://dclure.org/essays/visualizing-the-humanist/. The body of words look to me like a great whale. But perhaps my fascination with Moby Dick and the story of Jonah has got the better of me :-).

However I wonder what exactly you mean by "leaving just text that had actually been typed out by people (for the most part)". I've searched for important terms like "philology", (373 occurrences according the search made with Google within the mailing list) and it's not there. Besides, some names of people, places and institutions are there, some other are not. What the scientific and cultural value of such representation would be if data entry is not accurate? Thanks!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 07 Dec 2014 10:00:46 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: blog vs list; myopia vs expanding eyes What is the effective difference between a blog and a list such as Humanist? Has anyone studied this? Do blogs tend to be centred on the person or topic, lists more wide-ranging, multi-vocal? To what degree do blogs expose people (occasional visitors and subscribers) to information they would not have thought to look for, from sources they would not have sought out? In the mid to late 1980s Thomas Malone and others at MIT built a system called Information Lens designed to get relevant information to a user by automatic selection based on a user-specified profile. Their report, "The Information Lens: An Intelligent System for Information Sharing in Organizations" (1986), may be found in the Internet Archive, https://archive.org/details/informationlensi00malo. Whether their approach to the perceived problem of infoglut from e-mail was picked up I do not know. But it struck me at the time I heard Malone present it (fresh from my PhD research in a large research library where I wandered the stacks every day of the week) that confining oneself to the information one knew ahead of time that one wanted was a formula for myopia. About the same time I stumbled across Gordon B. Thompson's Memo from Mercury: Information Technology *is* Different (1979, shortly to be available from the Internet Archive), which proposed a system that escapes the confinements of the Information Lens. Then, as we all know, the Web and then Google burst on the scene. My question, then, is this: in practice are blogs more like the Information Lens, lists more like Thompson's system?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 07 Dec 2014 10:49:06 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: as gods As I was playing with David McClure's visualisation of Humanist and feeling that sense of command over it all, I was reminded of an argument Evelyn Fox Keller makes in "Models, Simulations and Computer Experiments"*. She draws attention to the power of visualisation to induce just such feelings; she quotes from Tommaso Toffoli and Norman Margolus' introduction to Cellular Automata Machines (MIT Press, 1987): > In Greek mythology, the machinery of the universe was the gods > themselves. They personally tugged the sun across the sky, delivered > rain and thunder, and fed appropriate thoughts into human minds. In > more recent conceptions, the universe is created complete with its > operating mechanism: once set in motion, it runs by itself. God sits > outside of it and can take delight in watching it. Toffoli and Margolus go on to describe cellular automata (such as John Conway's Game of Life) as "a universe synthesizer" and so by implication ourselves as gods -- at first likely to make a mess of things but becoming with practice accomplished creators and manipulators. Keller goes on then to enlarge the situation to those who use our invented devices to visualise worlds of data, hence worlds, and so become subject to the same seductive power. Her's is in the first instance not a moral argument but an attempt to investigate the trajectories of simulation and visualisation -- what sort of knowledge they lead us to acquire, or rather what we come to mean by 'knowledge'. McClure's visualisation of Humanist, together with his discussion of what went into producing it and Domenico Fiormonte's point about "philology" etc., sum to conclusions about the preoccupations of the membership in time. But the revelatory sense that HERE IT IS intermixed with the seductive manipulatory command over the historical record -- for which McClure's access to the software gives him multiplied powers -- gives me pause. Not just the impression of truth but truth I can remake. So what do we make of this? Yours, WM ----- *In Hans Radder, ed., The Philosophy of Scientific Experimentation. Pittsburgh: University

We are especially interested in fellows in the area of digital humanities. The duration of the fellowship is envisaged as ordinarily between one and six months; applications for a shorter or longer duration will be considered. Fellows will receive office space and office facilities from An Foras Feasa in the Iontas Building, a state-of-the-art humanities research institute, along with full library access and computer facilities. There is a robust and welcoming research culture at Maynooth University and Fellows will be facilitated in achieving their research goals while in residence. A limited number of travel stipends of €500 will be available; preference will be given to applicants with limited institutional funding. The current call will close on *15 February 2015*. Thereafter applications will be considered on a rolling basis.

We hope those of you who will be in New Orleans can join us, and we also plan to post video of the session. Best wishes, Neil Coffee DCA Co-Chair Associate Professor Department of Classics University at Buffalo, SUNY http://www.classics.buffalo.edu/people/faculty/neil_coffee/ *** 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. Session #62 Making Meaning from Data (Joint SCS/AIA Panel) Organized by the Digital Classics Association Neil Coffee, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Organizer “Big data” is becoming increasingly significant in classics. Archaeologists can now generate vast amounts of digital information. Online repositories for the study of geography, prosopography, poetry, and other areas continue to appear, along with new protocols and tools for exploring them. This panel addresses the changing research environment with presentations that show how we can make meaning from our data, and so develop new and integrated perspectives on the classical world.

Citizen Science is the practice of involving citizens in research driven by professional researchers; nowadays it benefits from technological tools which allow to achieve unprecedented scale of citizen engagement. One of its forms is crowdsourcing which might not aim research contribution but helps in gathering, encoding or contextualising data with the help of citizens. Our project is consolidating a roadmap on the use of e-Infrastructures to support the participation of European citizens in research on cultural heritage and digital humanities. The questionnaire is designed to capture the current experiences and opinions of cultural heritage professionals and we would appreciate if you could invest up to 10 minutes of your time by 19 December 2014 to help us understand better the current context and integrate your point of view in the Roadmap. Please follow this link to the questionnaire: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1914440/Cultural-Heritage-Institutions-and-Citizen-Science For more information on our project, please visit the website: http://www.civic-epistemologies.eu/ Thank you for your attention and your input, your response is very valuable to us.

ACS is a newly launched scholarly service at the HTRC offering collaboration between external scholars and HTRC staff to solve challenging problems related to HTRC tools and services. By working together with scholars, we facilitate computational access to HathiTrust Research Center digital tools (HTRC) as well as the HathiTrust (HT) digital library based on individual scholarly need. This Advanced Collaborative Support (ACS) will drive innovation at the scholar's digital workbench for enhancing and developing new techniques for use within the HTRC platform. The RFP is available online at http://www.hathitrust.org/htrc/acs-rfp RFP Schedule: RFP Available: October 28, 2014 Proposals Due: 5:00 p.m. January 8, 2015 Award Notification: No later than January 30, 2015 Proposals should be submitted electronically as a single zip file to htrc.acs.awards@gmail.com Program Description (see the full RFP for more detail): The HathiTrust (HT) is a large digitized-text corpus (> 10 million volumes) of keen interest to researchers working in a wide range of scholarly disciplines. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) is a collaborative research center launched jointly by Indiana University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, along with the HathiTrust Digital Library (HT) to help meet the technical challenges that researchers face when dealing with massive amounts of digital text. The HTRC Advanced Collaboration Support Group (ACS) engages with users directly on a one-on-one basis over extended period of time lasting from weeks to months. The ACS Group, selected from the membership of the HTRC user community, pairs the ACS awardee with expert staff members to work collaboratively on challenging problems. Respondents are urged to contact htrc.acs.awards@gmail.com, in advance of proposal submission to discuss eligibility, project details, prerequisites, and HTRC support. We look forward to a wide-array of proposals for our inaugural ACS projects supported by funding from the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC).

The reviewers work as a team, led by the Reviews Editor, to develop reviews of books, software tools, digital publications, and other appropriate reviewable content. Our goal is to cultivate an active, international group of reviewers who can cover the full range of DH-related topics and publications in multiple languages. You are: a wide reader, passionate about some area of digital humanities, interested in helping to shape the field, able to work as part of a geographically distributed team. We are: an open-access online journal of digital humanities, published by the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations at http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/. We publish a wide range of material on all areas of digital humanities research and practice. Although the journal is currently published almost entirely in English, we are interested in reviewing DH publications from all languages. If you’re interested, please send email to DHQ@neu.edu with the following information: 1. Background: who are you and what do you do? 2. What do you think makes for a good book, site, or software review? 3. In what geographic or linguistic areas could you cultivate a pool of reviewers? How would you go about cultivating such a pool? 4. With what research domain(s) within the DH research community are you most closely connected? 5. What is the realistic time commitment you could make to this role? How would it fit in with your other activities? Please send any questions to Sarah Buchanan, DHQ’s Reviews Editor, at sarahab@utexas.edu. best wishes, Julia Julia Flanders Editor-in-chief, DHQ Interim Co-director, NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks Director, Digital Scholarship Group Northeastern University --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 11:30:47 +0100 From: Elli Bleeker Subject: Survey on teaching material for digital text editing In-Reply-To: _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00,SPF_PASS autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id C6DF3936;

In the pre-digital world, publishers and editors normally collaborated: the editors would produce the edition, following the guidelines provided by the publishing house, which for its part would take care of marketing and distribution, as well as essential scholarly services such as peer review. Digital scholarly editions, on the other hand, tend to be self-published by scholars within their own universities, most often without any connection with a publishing house – an arrangement which is hardly sustainable, for various reasons, and often not available to younger researchers producing their first editions and without access to suitable funding. At the same time, publishers are increasingly engaging with the digital, in particular in connection with tablet distribution. But the majority of such eBooks are generally not up to the standards expected by the scholarly community: in many ePubs, for instance, basic features such as footnotes are a luxury – to say nothing of a proper critical apparatus. How can be we best address these issues, to the mutual benefit of all involved parties – editors, publishers and the scholarly public?

If you are, more is broken than we thought. All the "bounce action" notifications are, hopefully and as always, going either to the listserver itself or to Willard as the apparent sender of the posts. - The problem is not with any of the mechanisms for generating messages to the list; it is, ostensibly, with the server's mechnism for generating SPF (Sender Policy Framework) signatures in the headers of the messages. In the last few days, this mechanism has begun to emit - instead of just one SPF signature perHumanist message - 495 of them, which causes the header size to exceed the limit set by the receiving servers of many of Humanist's subscribers; hence the bounces that Willard is referring to. (Those of you who are receiving the messages can see those headers by enabling the "show all headers" or "show message source" mechanism in your email client.) I am not sure that the fault can be ascribed to a "malevolent creature", as Willard puts it, except in some utterly figurative sense. I would suspect a strange interaction that arose between some (as yet unidentified) recent update to the hosting server's framework and our particular list.

Several people are now at work attempting to figure out where the problem lies and will fix it once it is found. We would ask for your patience while the probing and fixing is going on. I will continue to post messages since not everyone is affected. Those who are can still access the postings from the archive. I would ask of them an especially robust patience as they are pelted with Bounce Action Notifications -- as I was shortly after midnight GMT by an excess of 250 such things. When infoglut was new I used to offer the cold comfort that one's delete key is never far away. That's about all I can offer now. > >This time I suspect my apologies should be not just for failing software but also for a malevolent creature out there somewhere who takes pleasure in harming others. > >Yours, >WM >-- >Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital >Humanities, King's College London, and Digital Humanities Research >Group, University of Western Sydney _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00,SPF_PASS autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 38E3E954;

In-Reply-To: <20141211113233.04607968@digitalhumanities.org> Survey on teaching material for digital text editing Dear list, For a possible workshop in text editing we are curious to learn from anyone with experience in teaching and/or training in digital editing. The general idea is to make an inventory of what already exist and bring that together, before reinventing the wheel or overlooking the obvious. We are especially interested to hear about which material you use, and which of the resources are available online. Do you use free and open source material, or is it covered by restrictive licenses? Does it meet the needs of students or inexperienced scholars, and where does it fall short? With regard to the training program or curriculum: did you design it yourself based on the needs of your group, or did you follow a certain program that is offered online? It would be great if you could get back to us before the 5th of January. Thanks in advance for any information and advice.

Computers allow for the processing of digital data much faster than humans can do, they are able to show patterns and statistical analyses and can detect links that otherwise would be hard to find. This workshop explores whether and how, in the field of digital humanities, biographical data are special. Biographies are interesting for analysis with computer techniques, since individuals share a set of common characteristics that can be relatively easily identified by a machine, such as a birthdate, a partner, a profession, and a network. Tools and approaches from the digital humanities can be used for both quantitative analyses of such data and for providing leads for more qualitative research questions. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both the humanities and the computer sciences to exchange experiences, methods and practices with respect to ICT mediated quantitative and qualitative analysis of biographical data. What can we do already with computational methods with the huge amount of digital biographical data that is available? What will we be able to do in the future? What will we not be able to do? We invite papers with a maximum of 2.500 words, which will undergo a single blind peer review process. After acceptance papers can be extended to 6.000 words. Topics which may be addressed include, but certainly are not limited to: 1) Mining biographies for structured information2) Biographies and linked data 3) Using biographical information for quantitative analyses 4) The canonization of people and events in history 5) The use or uselessness of big data for biographical research 6) Visualizing biographical data 7) Biographical Dictionaries 8) Dealing with biographical data in heterogeneous datasets 9) Practices in digitizing and converting biographical data to a software interpretable format 10) Automatic biography generation 11) Biographies across countries and cultures 12) Standards, vocabularies and best practices for the encoding and processing of biographical data More information about deadlines and submitting papers can be found here.

ILiADS offers participants two ways to engage the community of liberal arts practitioners and pedagogues: a team- and project-based approach and a more traditional conference structure. Those interested in the project-based component, with ideas or teams at any stage (or no stage!) of development, are encouraged to let our planning consultants guide their participation. Option One: during the week (26-31 July), project teams consisting of combinations of faculty, librarians, technologists, and students will learn and practice the skills necessary to bring their projects closer to the finish line. However, rather than offering a development opportunity in the traditional teacher-pupil mold, ILiADS will provide collaborative support targeted to the specific challenges facing a project and/or team. Whether your project is an idea that needs to get off the ground or a developed undertaking that needs to scale up, the proposal consultants will work with you and the growing list of noted institute specialists http://iliads.org/institute-specialists/ to define your questions, shape your team (if needed), and determine how to make the most of this focused development time. The days will offer a mix of tutorials, talks, and time to hack. Option Two: beginning on the evening of July 31, the ILiADS conference will offer a weekend of conversations led and inspired by an impressive slate of keynote speakers http://iliads.org/conference-keynotes/ Conference attendees--who need not have attended the Institute week--can use this time to engage with other liberal arts faculty, staff, and students over the kinds of questions facing their institutions: involving undergraduates in faculty research, folding digital methods into courses, and institutional support for digital scholarship, to name only a few. While conference attendance certainly is not mandatory for those participating in the preceding week’s activities, we hope that project teams in whole or in part will be able to use the weekend to build momentum and connections with still more liberal arts colleagues. (Implicit Bonus Option: do both!) Important Dates: For project-based teams December 15th, 2014: Part One, Expression of Interest form, due January 5th, 2015: Teams who submit an Expression of Interest Form will be contacted by one of our consultants by this date February 6th, 2015: Part Two, formal institute proposal submissions, are due February 27th, 2015: Proposal acceptances sent March 2nd, 2015: Registration for both events opens! For Conference Attendees December 15th, 2014: Part One, Expression of Interest form, recommended March 2nd, 2015: Registration for both events opens!

We are very pleased to inform you that the Web Survey has gathered over 1,500 responses across Europe, which makes it one of the most successful initiatives of the kind! We have thus decided to extend the deadline by one month, until January 31st 2015, so that we collect even more responses. May we remind you that the Web Survey is available in 9 languages and does not take more than 12' to complete: English: http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/196761/lang-en http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/196761/lang-en French: http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/196761/lang-fr German: http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/934532/lang-de Greek: http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/383412/lang-el http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/383412/lang-el Lithuanian: http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/585513/lang-lt Serbian (Cyrillic): http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/293997/lang-sr Serbian (Latin): http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/293997/lang-sr-Latn Slovenian: http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/549847/lang-sl Spanish: http://surveys.dcu.gr/index.php/982397/lang-es We would be most grateful if you could give it one final push in your respective DH communities. Remember: The more the responses, the more informative the insights to digital practices in the arts and humanities!

Devices connected as learning machines to the 'Internet of Things' necessitate further research on issues related to digital media and their materiality. In this context, media, culture and social theories, dealing with the materiality of digital technology, have gained increasing relevance. > > Investigations of digital material have given rise to a wide range of (new) research questions, approaches, and issues. From the early 2000s onwards, we can identify two major strands of research that developed: (1) from the technological and material conditions of hardware and software towards (2) the social/political/economic/legal infrastructures and power relations of proprietary networks and platforms. The eventual establishment of research fields such as software studies, critical code studies, media archaeology and the notion of the post-digital − represented by scholars such as David Berry, Wendy Chun, Alexander Galloway, Mark Hansen, Katherine Hayles, Friedrich Kittler, Lev Manovich, William Mitchell, Anna Munster, Adrian Mackenzie, Jussi Parikka, Eugene Thacker, and others, − can also be understood as indicators of an institutionalisation of ‘media-materialistic’ research. For the first issue “Digital Material/ism”, the newly founded Digital Culture & Society journal calls for further methodological and theoretical reflection on issues of digital materiality and digital materialism. > > Approaches may be rooted in (digital) media and cultural studies, as well as social sciences. Interdisciplinary contributions, for example, those from science and technology studies, are likewise welcome. > > Paper proposals may relate to, but are not limited to, the following topics: > - the internet of things, smart objects and ambient intelligence > - augmented environments > - wearables (and augmented reality) > - hardware studies and Open Hardware > - hacker, Maker and DIY Culture > - post-digital media research > - media ecologies and e-waste > - agency of assemblages > > We invite submissions, which may react to, and expand on to the following questions of “Digital Material/ism”: > > 1. Field Research and Case Studies: > We invite papers on socio-technological developments related to digital media materiality. Articles may examine usage and production, as well as spaces and contexts of smart objects; e.g. wearable computing devices, or beacons. Contributions may be based on (empirical) case studies. They may likewise address discourses of truth and evidence related to digital media materialism; e.g. in a metaphorical sense (see Boomen 2014) or as governmental alignment, such as “forensic materialism” as suggested by Kirschenbaum (2008). How do materialistic positions tacitly use metaphors of clinical or administrative control to assure the relevance and societal benefits of their devices? How is the notion of ‘smart/ness’ used in order to promote new forms of technological interactions with, and surveillance of the physical environment? > > 2. Methodological reflection: > We invite contributions that address methodological issues of approaches focused on digital media materiality. What are the methodological implications of such technological developments? What ethical challenges do researchers face; e.g. related to the data enabled by new digital media technology and their material features? > > 3. Conceptual/theoretical reflection: > We invite papers that address key notions in the discussion of digital materiality, and question epistemological assumptions. 'Materiality' is a crucial term, which only entered the discussion of digital media studies in the 2000s. Historically, how was the notion of materiality developed with regard to digital media? Moreover, in which philosophical traditions do the key representatives of 'Digital Materialism' place themselves? In what ways do they assume canonical models when examining the ‘transcendental,’ ‘empirical,’ or ‘historical-material’ conditions of data networks? Following Matthew Kirschenbaum’s (2008) conception of “formal materiality” as “the imposition of multiple relational computational states on a data set or digital object” (Ibid, p. 12), we are interested in the practical relevance of the materiality of recording, storing and processing (alongside the technical modelling of storage, digital objects, discrete data and metadata-guided processing operations). Thereby, we subsequently consider the results of Matthew Fuller’s (2003; 2008) work, “Software as a historical knowledge base”: it has its own history and does not only follow technological norms and standards, but also yields social, institutional and cultural settings. > > Deadlines and contact information: > Initial abstracts (max. 300 words) and a short biographical note (max. 100 words) are due on: February 1, 2015 > Authors will be notified by February 16, 2015, whether they are invited to submit a full paper. > Full papers are due on: May 1, 2015 > > Please send the abstracts and full papers to: > Ramón Reichert – ramon.reichert@univie.ac.at > Annika Richterich − a.richterich@maastrichtuniversity.nl > > References: > Boomen, M. van den (2014) Transcoding the Digital: How Metaphors Matter in New Media.

I'm doing this at the request of the hardy souls who are attempting to figure out where in the interacting systems through which Humanist messages pass the current problem is lurking. I hope your patience and forbearance are sufficient to outlast the problem. I suppose this is the cost of running a bespoke operation tailored to the community (not a misuse of the term, I think) it serves. Once the results of sending this message have been analyzed I'll send out the remaining messages. Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, and Digital Humanities Research Group, University of Western Sydney _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00,SPF_PASS autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E4534A99;

Thanks to all those who have participated in the elections so far! Polls will close on December 17th, so if you have not yet voted, please take a few minutes to do so as soon as possible. (Why not now?) If you are a member of ACH and have not received a ballot, please check your spam folder. If it's not there either, please verify your email address with OUP. This will not get you a ballot this year—the list of email addresses can only be loaded into the system once—but it will hopefully address this problem for next year. If you have further questions or need help, please contact me at secretary@ach.org.

Born in Athens, AL in 1940, the son of Thomas Brice Chesnutt and Lena (Moss) Chesnutt, he earned degrees from the University of Alabama, '62, Auburn University, '67, and the University of Georgia, '73. Chesnutt spent 35 years as Research Professor in the History Department at the University of South Carolina where he served as Associate Editor and then Editor of the Papers of Henry Laurens, a 16 volume collection of the letters of the leader of revolutionary activity in South Carolina during the American Revolution. Laurens, a former president of the Continental Congress, participated in the negotiations which led to the peace of Paris, 1783, which brought the war to an end. Chesnutt was one of the founding members of the Association for Documentary Editing, in the late 1970s, and he served as its President, 1991-1992. In the mid 1970s, Chesnutt started to apply computers to scholarship in the humanities when he developed the first program for creating a back-of-the-book index. In the 1980s and 1990s he worked with a small group of scholars from the US and Europe to develop the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), a protocol for publishing humanities documents on the infant World Wide Web. His work in what is now called digital humanities culminated in the Model Editions Partnership which demonstrated five different ways in which fully edited documentary editions, such as the Laurens Papers, could be served up on the Web. For 23 years, Chesnutt served as a member of the South Carolina Historical Records Advisory Board. In 2005, Governor Mark Sanford presented him with the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina's highest civilian honor for extraordinary lifetime achievement and service to the state and nation. Chesnutt owned a small desk-top publishing business which published scholarly books, and, for more than 35 years, he edited and published Manuscripts, the journal of the Manuscript Society. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth Dow, of Hardwick, VT, his son, James, daughter-inlaw Allison Narver and granddaughter Kate, of London, England, twin daughters, Catherine of New York City, and Elizabeth of Columbia, SC, brothers Thomas B., of St. Petersburg, FL, and Samuel W. of St. Helena Island, SC, sister Carol B., of Birmingham, AL, and six nieces and nephews. He was a southern gentleman in the best sense of the word: genteel, sympathetic, kind, generous, and wise. A memorial service will be held in the spring. In lieu of flowers, donations in his name should go to Hardwick Historical Society, PO Box 177, Hardwick, Vermont 05843 or the Manuscript Society, 14003 Rampart Ct., Baton Rouge, LA 70810, or the Association for Documentary Editing, c/o Ondine LeBlanc, ADE Treasurer, Massachusetts Historical Society, 1154 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02215. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2014 20:19:41 +0000 From: "C. M. Sperberg-McQueen" Subject: a message for Humanist In-Reply-To: Readers of this list may be saddened to learn that David R. Chesnutt, a important participant in the development of the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines, a pioneer in the development of electronic documentary editions, and a longtime member of the executive committee of the Association for Computers and the Humanities, has died at the age of 74. David was for 35 years a research professor in history at the University of South Carolina, serving for many of those years as Associate Editor and later Editor of the Papers of Henry Laurens. He was a tireless worker in the service of documentary editing and spent many years helping documentary editors come to terms with information technology. His work appears to have been appreciated: over the years, the Association for Documentary Editing gave David almost all of the awards it makes: the Distinguished Service Award (together with Charles Cullen) in 1985, "to acknowledge the assistance that they provided to other editors making the transition to new computer/ word processing technology"; in 1990, the Lyman H. Butterfield award "for his selfless service to the profession and to the ADE as president-elect"; in 1995, the Julian P. Boyd Award "in recognition for his lifetime contribution to understanding the American past through documentary editing as teacher, mentor and scholar." I first met him (if memory does not deceive me) when South Carolina hosted the International Conference on Computers in the Humanities in 1987, and came to know him better through the TEI, which began that November with a planning meeting in November. David was one of 31 signatories to the resulting Poughkeepsie Principles, which defined the scope and goals of the TEI; later, he served on the TEI's Text Representation committee. As a representative of ACH, he was also present at the meetings in Chicago in 1999 that made the decision to form the TEI Consortium and pass responsibility for maintaining the Guidelines to them. In 1995, he invited Susan Hockey and me to join him and a group of several historical documentary editions in exploring the possibilities for electronic delivery of such editions. The resulting Model Editions Partnership collected samples from a variety of editorial projects, some of them traditional letterpress editions, some of them image-based (microfilm and/or CD-ROM) and created a web portal for them. The original portal at the University of South Carolina is no longer in service, but after it died, some of the original data was recovered and has been made available in a slightly different interface at http://modeleditions.blackmesatech.com/mep/ David's quiet demeanor, marked southern accent, and deliberate speech may have led some to underestimate his intelligence and drive. But he moved the Laurens papers to word-processing and electronic type-setting at a time when exploiting information technology for editorial projects did not mean choosing wisely from among the existing array of commercial and open-source software suitable for the purpose, but hiring a programmer and developing with them a program for managing back-of-the-book indices (and later, a generic markup system for typesetting the edition). Not work for the clueless or the timid. The TEI and its users, American document editors, students of American history, and digital humanists are all in his debt. -- **************************************************************** * C. M.

ACS 2015. --WORKSHOP AIMS-- Narrative provides a framing structure for understanding, communicating, influencing, and organizing human experience. Systems for its analysis and production are increasingly found embedded in devices and processes, influencing decision-making in venues as diverse as politics, economics, intelligence, and cultural production. In order to appreciate this influence, it is becoming increasingly clear that research must address the technical implementation of narrative systems, the theoretical bases of these frameworks, and our general understanding of narrative at multiple levels: from the psychological and cognitive impact of narratives to our ability to model narrative responses computationally. Special Focus: Cognitive Systems This inter-disciplinary workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Papers should be relevant to issues fundamental to the computational modeling and scientific understanding of narrative. The workshop will have a special focus on the building cognitive systems that are distinguished by a focus on high-level cognition and decision making, reliance on rich, structured representations, a systems-level perspective, use of heuristics to handle complexity, and incorporation of insights about human thinking, meaning we especially welcome papers relevant to the cognitive aspects of narrative. Regardless of its topic, reported work should provide some sort of insight of use to computational modeling of narratives. Discussing technological applications or motivations is not prohibited, but is not required. We accept both finished research and more tentative exploratory work. --INVITED SPEAKER-- Janet H. Murray, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA --ILLUSTRATIVE TOPICS AND QUESTIONS-- - How is narrative knowledge captured and represented? - How are narratives indexed and retrieved? Is there a universal scheme for encoding episodic information? - How can we study narrative from a cognitive point of view? - Can narrative be subsumed by current models of higher-level cognition, or does it require new approaches? - How do narratives mediate our cognitive experiences, or affect our cognitive abilities? - What comprises the set of possible narrative arcs? Is there such a set? How many possible story lines are there? - Is narrative structure universal, or are there systematic differences in narratives from different cultures? - What makes narrative different from a list of events or facts? - How do conceptions and models of spatiality or temporality influence narrative and cognitive systems? - What are the details of the relationship between narrative and common sense? - What shared resources are required for the computational study of narrative? What should a “Story Bank” contain? - What shared resources and tools are available, or how can already-extant resources be adapted to the study of narrative? - What are appropriate formal or computational representations for narrative? - How should we evaluate computational and formal models of narrative? - How can narrative systems be applied to problem-solving? - What aspects of cross-linguistic work has narrative research neglected? --ORGANIZERS-- - Mark A.

The deadline for proposals is January 12, 2015. Selection will be made by open, online peer review by the community. Although a regional conference (Pennsylvania being the "Keystone State"), we welcome proposals from across the USA and abroad, from all areas of the digital humanities. http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/Keystonedh/ The Keystone Digital Humanities conference will be held in the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, July 22-24, 2015. Proposals are now invited for long presentations (20 minutes), short presentations (7 minutes), and project showcases (10 minutes) in all areas of digital humanities. Presentations may take the form of interactive presentations, short papers, project demos, workshops, or panel discussions. We welcome proposals from emerging and veteran students, teachers, and scholars. The community will be invited to vote on proposals that they would like to see included in the program. The 10 proposals with the highest scores are guaranteed a slot at the conference. The Program Committee will curate the remainder of the program in an effort to ensure diversity in program content and presenters. Community votes will, of course, still weigh heavily in these decisions. Please send your name, email address, and a proposal of 200-300 words to keystonedh.conference@gmail.com. The proposal deadline is *January 12, 2015*, and community peer review will run from January 20-February 15. Proposers will be notified by March 1. The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH; http://www.ach.org/) is generously providing funding for 10 graduate students to attend and present their work. -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dot Porter (MA, MSLS) Digital Medievalist, Digital Librarian Email: dot.porter@gmail.com Personal blog: dotporterdigital.org Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance: http://www.mesa-medieval.org MESA blog: http://mesamedieval.wordpress.com/ MESA on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MedievalElectronicScholarlyAlliance *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id F2BF1AA9; Wed, 17 Dec 2014 07:10:24 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4812DA9E; Wed, 17 Dec 2014 07:10:24 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 85429AA2; Wed, 17 Dec 2014 07:10:21 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141217061021.85429AA2@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2014 07:10:21 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.570 events: XML/TEI; Japanese gaming; methods in libraries X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20141217061024.26294.90811@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 570.

The spring school will be run and held at the at the Centre for Information Modelling – Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities at the University of Graz from 13th to 17th April 2015. The spring school is directed to participants with previous experience in XML/TEI editing who would like to involve themselves more intensively with the creation of digital scholarly editions based on the international encoding standard XML TEI P5. Besides addressing specific issues and use cases of text encoding, the participants will be trained what to do with the data once the encoding is done and how to process it further until the publication on the WWW. To this end the teaching will strongly focus on XPath, XSLT, HTML and CSS as technologies for the web publication of digital scholarly editions. Since the level of this spring school is advanced, previous knowledge of TEI practices is not only recommended but necessary for participation. The lectures will be held by experts from the field of Digital Scholarly Editing, related to the DiXiT network or the IDE (James Cummings, Franz Fischer, Ulrike Henny, Frederike Neuber, Torsten Schaßan, Martina Semlak, Magdalena Turska, Gunter Vasold, Georg Vogeler). Tara Andrews (Univ. of Bern) has agreed to give a keynote. The School will cover the following areas: - issues when working with XML TEI P5 (to be proposed by the participants) - customization of the TEI schema - creating web pages with HTML/CSS and JavaScript and JQuery - transforming the TEI XML with XSLT/XPath - publishing frameworks for digital scholarly editions - use cases for research on and with digital scholarly editions The IDE-meets-DiXiT Spring School on Advanced XML/TEI technologies for Digital Scholarly Editions is open to interested scholars anywhere in the world with previous experience in digital scholarly editing with the TEI. As the course will strongly focus on practical exercise, we can accept only applications which can bring own material for the exercises. All teaching will be in English. The course offers 20 positions. Participants will be required to arrange their own accommodation and travel to Graz. The participation fee will be 100 EUR.

This proposal aims to bring together two ways of exploring the topic of Diasporas, Identities and Memories – as a subject for academic study and discussion, and as a theme captured in artistic expression. The concept behind the conference is to bring for discussion state-of-the-art research related to the theme which will inspire the exhibition taking place during the CHoGM forum. The conference aims to bring together academics specializing in social history, history, information science, art history as well as curators, archivists and librarians interested in the theme. TOPICS OF INTEREST: The conference welcomes contributions that focus on, but are not limited to the following themes: - What role do researchers have in the capturing and articulation of diasporas, memories and identities? - How do memory institutions support engagement with researchers and the general public? - How the artistic expression captures identity and changes and conflicts related to it? - How to capture and convey trans-generational and community memories? - How does the right to forget manifest in the diasporas’ memories? - What are the specific issues around capturing memories and experiences of children and young people? - What has been the role of Commonwealth institutions or Commonwealth-based supra-national organisations in the formation of memory/identity/diasporas? - How do memory institutions contribute to the development and management of heritage? - How memory institutions across the Commonwealth countries could cooperate better to
serve diasporas? - What educational activities targeting memory institutions across the Commonwealth could
help cooperation? - How social media are transforming engagement and participation in archival processes? - How is transnationalism influencing the transmission of cultural values? - How much can technologies be of help in capturing memories/nostalgia and in representing identities? SUBMISSION DETAILS: Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished research papers related to the aforementioned topics. We invite: - regular papers (8 to 12 pages) - short papers (2 to 6 pages) All submissions are required to be in PDF format. Long and short paper submissions must be formatted according to Springer’s LNCS format (www.springer.com/computer/lncs). Please submit your manuscript using the EasyChair online submission system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dim2015. All submissions will be reviewed by three members of the Program Committee. All papers accepted for the conference should be presented during the event. Papers will be published in open access proceedings, with selected papers will be published as a special issue of a journal (currently negotiated with The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs).

From these two books have directly been drawn the name for the fundamental constituent of the nucleon (Murray Gell-Mann’s *quark*), a new model of cognition (Daniel Dennett’s *Joycean machine*), a radical cybernetic conception of language (Jacques Derrida’s*Joyceware*), a psycho-analytical paradigm (Jacques Lacan’s *sinthome*), & the foundations of post-War media theory (Marshall McLuhan’s *Gutenberg Galaxy*, originally called *The Road to Finnegans Wake*).This volume examines a series of counter arguments to the conventional account of literary cybernetics in light of developments which have accompanied the encounter between critical theory and cultural studies, namely ‘hypertextuality’ and ‘posthumanism.’ In each instance, the continuing legacy of Joyce’s works is examined in detail. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 608F1AAE; Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:21:13 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2495FAA7; Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:21:12 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 11DE8AA8; Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:21:08 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141219082109.11DE8AA8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 09:21:08 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.574 REF results; new Head of Digital Humanities at King's X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20141219082112.30883.42471@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 574.

For those interested in such things, I would like to point to the official announcement about the King's College London results (for a joint submission between Department of Digital Humanities / Department of Culture, Media & Creative Industries) to the REF panel for 'Communication, Cultural and Media Studies, Library and Information Management': http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/ddh/newsrecords/2014/Digital-Humanities-CMCI-REF-zxz.aspx This is also an opportune moment to announce the appointment of Professor Sheila Anderson as new Head of Department at DDH from 1st January. We were very sorry to see the early retirement of Andrew Prescott a few months ago - and I want to take this opportunity to thank him for his important contribution to Digital Humanities at KCL - but are delighted to welcome Sheila as new Head in 2015.

The Spring School is organised by the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH) http://www.gcdh.de/en/ . Introduction 3D visualisation technologies enable and advance the preservation of and research on all kinds of cultural heritage. Modeling, visualising and animating culturally important objects or sites via 3D technologies allow researchers a more detailed and high-resolution view on their research material. Our Spring School will bring together 20 international students who are interested in learning how to model 3D objects, how to manage 3D data, and how to create virtual worlds in 3D. You will be acquainted with the modeling of 3D objects using Blender, the 3D reconstruction with VisualSFM and MeshLab, and the creation of 3D virtual worlds using Unity 3D. In the morning sessions you will be taught theory and essential knowledge about photogrammetry, meshing, etc. In the afternoon, you will deepen and broaden this knowledge in instructor-led labs where you will apply the methods you have been acquainted with. The workshops will be led by Johanna Pirker and Phil Gosch who already ran the 3D strand of the DARIAH Summer School 2014. Costs and fees The registration fee for accepted applicants is 100 €. We provide free accommodation (single rooms) in near-by hotels, including breakfast, as well as lunch in the refectory. We will not cover travel costs. Participants are responsible for securing and paying for visas if necessary. What to bring Given the hands-on character of the Spring School, it is essential to bring your own laptop. It could also be useful to bring your own camera. Application We are inviting up to 20 international participants (MA and PhD students). Please send a covering letter indicating your motivation to participate in the Spring School (1 page max.) and a short Curriculum Vitae (1 page max.) preferably as one PDF file to Ele Kraft (gkraft@gcdh.de). The deadline for applications is Sunday, 25 January 2015. You will be notified on your application status until Friday, 30 January 2015. The language of communication during the Spring School will be English. For further information or in case of any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Ele Kraft (gkraft@gcdh.de).

The error has been rectified. If you or anyone you know has tried to subscribe to a TEI list unsuccessfully, please try again. Details ------- EEK! My abject apologies ... Back in September my Brown.edu e-mail address ceased to exist. ( Myalumni.Brown.edu address still functions, but it only does mailforwarding.) That evening I spent about an hour going through the ~30 lists I run at Brown changing my e-mail address in each configuration file. For reasons I do not (and never will) know, those changes only took effect for some lists. For the majority, the owner e-mail address remained my old, now defunct Brown.edu address. A few weeks later a colleague from down under contacted me and asked what was going on. I started poking around a bit, but with the TEI meeting in October and then the TEI Council meeting in November, I *completely* forgot about it until early this week when James C. and Kevin H. gave me a virtual bonk on the head. So for months now, any errors, subscription requests, etc., for TEI-L and many (but not all) of the SIG lists have gone into the big bit bucket in the sky. This week the Brown list master and I spent some time trying to figure out what, if anything, we could do to recover at least the subscription requests during that time. Sadly,LISTSERV does not keep the e-mail address of a subscription request that comes in over the web. (Only those that come in over e-mail.) So I was able to subscribe 2 of the dozens of people who requested to join this list since the problem began. So, if you know anyone who tried unsuccessfully to subscribe to a TEI list, please deliver my sincere apologies and ask that they try again. You may think that heads should roll for a screw-up of this magnitude. If so, or if you're a TEI power broker stressing over cutting Syd's head off, there's good news. For years now the TEI has toyed with trying to get all TEI lists be served from one place. (We have lists on at least 5 servers.) Under the stewardship of our new webmaster, Kevin Hawkins, this effort is moving forward. He and I are in (entirely unrelated) conversation about moving the Brown set of TEI lists. So if all goes well, by early January all the TEI lists hosted at Brown University (and thus run by me) will be hosted at TEI-C instead. So if you wait 2 weeks, I may be stepping down without any bloodshed :-) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 84456ABF; Sat, 20 Dec 2014 10:37:31 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DD349ABD; Sat, 20 Dec 2014 10:37:30 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8CADEAB1; Sat, 20 Dec 2014 10:37:28 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141220093728.8CADEAB1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2014 10:37:28 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.579 events: American studies cfp X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20141220093731.19563.38012@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 579.

About a third of the membership was locked out from early this month until now as a result. Rescue is due to Malgosia Askanas, Humanist's software designer, who is also a mathematician, computer scientist, writer and theatre artist (www.mind-crafts.com/aboutus.php); to Ian Rifkin, Software Systems Manager at Brandeis and Web technologist with a background in anthropology (www.ianrifkin.com); and to Jan-Christoph Meister, Professor of Modern German literature, literary theory and text-analysis at Hamburg (jcmeister.de/). I drag these colleagues into the virtual limelight both to express my gratitude, especially to Malgosia, also for her elegant design that has made my life as editor of Humanist simple, and to illustrate in microcosm what sort of a community we are. One day, I hope, someone with the time, energy and the right skill-set will gather together a representative selection of Humanist's biographical statements from wherever they sleep, study them and write a demographic account of the people who since 1987 have wandered into the "big tent" of digital humanities. Humanist's version of this tent may well be the largest, since being in it requires only the willingness to endure a bit of initial bureaucracy and then to receive postings. You can lurk on the periphery as long as you like, tell yourself you are only passing by, gradually work your way into the crowd (and here I get a chance to use one of my favourite verbal curiosities) -- whatever. I for one am deeply impressed by this loose collective. It is trivially easy to find very real examples of intellectual, moral, social and institutional decay; very real evidence of academies going to hell in a handbasket -- my spell-checker objected, suggesting "breadbasket" :-) -- and so on and so forth. I deny none of this. But it's dark enough already at this time of year at the planetary location from which I am writing, so no more shadows. Against them stands the abundant evidence, from those biographies, of creative energy at work, curious, polymorphic, seriously playful. And the more conventionally serious scholarly "outputs", as we call them, demonstrate it to the REFs of the world, transparently, impactful, ground-breakingly, high-riskily/gainfully (add your own adverbials from the ambient bumf). Recently I had reason once again to chase the Renaissance notion of serious play (serio ludere), which Edgar Wind famously wrote about in Pagan Mysteries in the Renaissance (1958). The discussion I've found most helpful, however, is Harry Berger's, e.g. in "Conspicuous exclusion in Vermeer: An essay in Renaissance pastoral", Yale French Studies 47 (1972): 243-65. There he describes serious play as the tonality of a imagining mind that keeps it from "being trapped or paralyzed within the pool of Narcissus" and so liberated to get beyond itself, to imagine what it does not know. Berger describes the "measured commitment" to imagined worlds kept in delicate balance by that tonality and dramatized in these ways: > first, the imaginary world is both disjunctive and hypothetical. It > is not real life, but art or artifice; not actuality but fiction, > hypothesis, or make-believe.... Both its autonomy and its limits are > indicated by some original framing gesture intended to show that the > second world is at least initially contrary to established fact; it > is only after it has been framed as counterfactual that it is allowed > to hold the mirror up to nature and re-admit into its cleared space > the elements of actuality. Second, the imaginary world is tonally > presented in an attitude of serious playing; serio ludere means > playing seriously with full knowledge, however seriously you play, > that you are only playing. It is "only a game," but a game which > (like all games) is to be played or taken with dead seriousness while > it is going on. Carefully framed within this attitude, the mind may > abandon itself with intensity to the pleasure or seriousness of its > second world. Third, the preceding features entail a significant > tendency toward self-reference, or reflexive awareness. By this I > mean, first, conspicuous artifice, through which any work points to > itself as a work; and closely related to this, increased attention to > and exhibition of the mastery of craft and technique, of medium and > methodology. In this way, the second world may be offered > simultaneously as only a work of art and as triumphantly a work of > art. Artist and observer may give themselves to the second world > without forgetting that it is second, not first.... (p. 262) Two things are suggested by Berger's account. One is how essential serious playfulness is for scholarship -- one could say, it is powerfully useful to keep us from dogma by ensuring that we don't take ourselves too seriously (but seriously enough to keep at it); encouraging us to take risks in order to keep the long conversation going. The second, specific to digital humanities, comes through that emphasis on artifice as reminder that we make things "as if" they were true, not in order that they vend true data. It is a reminder of how important are all efforts designed to get scholars making things with code themselves, a reminder that the resource built by someone else, however good, is not the point. It is a reminder that the playful-hypothetical tonality is fundamental to computing as an instrument of research. This, I think, is too little recognized and will become more and more important to recognize as techniques of immersive simulation develop within the humanities. This morning I started reading Gerald Edelman's Second Nature: Brain Science and Human Knowledge (Yale, 2006), in which he notes the continuing divorce between the two cultures, then argues for the crucial importance of drawing from both and working at a reunion rather than dismissing the problem or dismissing one culture or the other out of fear, insecurity or (yes, again!) whatever. "I believe the opposite", he writes, "that understanding how we arrive at knowledge, whether by scientific inquiry, by reason, or by happenstance, is of major importance. Wongheadedness, severe reductionism, or insouciance can each have unfortunate long-range consequences for human welfare" (p. 2). I continue to think that digital humanities can have a role in helping to figure out "how we arrive at knowledge", or perhaps better, how we arrive at understanding -- and how we persuade others, as G. E. R. Lloyd has emphasized in his magisterial study The Ideals of Inquiry: An Ancient History (OUP, 2014). He goes on to say that, > The capacities to investigate, to question, to try things out, to > argue with your fellows, are universal across all human populations. > But their manifestations... have differed and continue to differ." > (p. 139) Reason may be innate and common across cultures, but how it is done varies by culture and develops historically. As we build our modelling devices and simulations, I think we should be paying *very* close attention to what we do when we reason with them, how our style of reasoning changes and how our understanding of that altered reasoning is fed back into new devices. This is happening now, has been for some time, and not merely in the humanities. Revolutionary proclamations to the blare of trumpets and waving of flags are interesting historically and need to be figured in, but I find far more valuable for this question of reasoning to keep an ear cocked for stray remarks, often modest, tentative, even apologetic, about how a scholar thinks he or she is thinking these days as a result of working e.g. with a VR (and so as-if) reconstruction of something long vanished. Gold-dust, to me at least. Take a look, for example, at the Virtual Paul's Cross Project, http://vpcp.chass.ncsu.edu. Hooray for the return of Humanist to good health! (I am taking a risk here, in a firm and, I hope, justified belief that the problem will not recur.) Thanks to Malgosia, Ian and Chris for their hard work and good advice. All the best to everyone here for the holidays already commenced and about to commence. May your darkness be bright. Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, and Digital Humanities Research Group, University of Western Sydney --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Dec 2014 19:06:15 -0500 From: malgosia askanas Subject: Return to normalcy In-Reply-To: <20141220093611.3B23A8BA@digitalhumanities.org> Dear All, As you know (either because you haven't been receiving Humanist mail or because you have been receiving it), this list has been crippled, for about two weeks, by a problem that prevented hundreds of listmembers from receiving list posts. We believe that the problem has now been eliminated and that delivery of list posts is back to normal. For those of you who are interested, I would like to briefly explain what happened. About two weeks ago, the software framework (which is an instance of a package called Plesk) on which all the ADHO domains and lists are hosted, was upgraded in order to increase email security. As it turned out, one of the features ushered in by this upgrade were SPF (Sender Policy Framework) checks on all incoming mail. SPF is a scheme for validating that the incoming mail is not spoofed - i.e. that it comes from an authorized sending host. As part of the scheme, the mail system adds to every piece of incoming mail an extra header, with the keyword "Received-SPF", that encapsulates the mail system's diagnosis concerning the legitimacy of the sending host. So: whenever a piece of email is handed to the mail system for delivery, the mail system, before actually starting the delivery proceedings, stamps it with a "Received-SPF" header. The mail may be coming from an outside server (for delivery to one of the domains hosted on the ADHO server, or for relaying to another external system) or it may be coming from inside the ADHO server (as when somebody uses ADHO's webmail to send out a message, or when - and here we come to our case - the ADHO listserver hands to the mail system a piece of mail for distribution to a list's subscribership). In either case, the mail, before being processed further, will be endowed with a "Received-SPF" header. As it turns out, however, when the ADHO listserver and the ADHO mail system are jointly engaged in distributing a post to subscribers of a relatively large list - and Humanist is such a list - something goes wrong. Our guess is that when the list is large, the listserver, instead of handing to the mail system one copy of the post per subscriber, divides the subscribership into batches of about 500 addresses, and hands to the mail system one copy of the post per batch, together with a list of addresses that compose the batch. This would be just fine, if it wasn't for the fact that when SPF is enabled, the mail system, when it receives such a copy, apparently stamps that single copy with as many "Recieved-SPF" headers as there are addresses in the batch - and then proceeds to distribute that copy, now endowed with about 500 extra headers, to all the addresses in the batch. As a result, the post now has a header of about 500 lines, causing it to be rejected by a great many of the intended recipents' mail systems. And so, hundreds of Humanist subscribers were not receiving any posts from the list. It took us some time to figure out exactly what was happening, but once we did, the fix was pretty straighforward. Hopefully Humanist willl now be fully operative, at least for a while. ;-) Malgosia Askanas Humanist software support _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E05BDAE7; Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:27:03 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DED10AE3; Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:27:02 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8C1BDADF; Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:26:59 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20141221072659.8C1BDADF@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 08:26:59 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.581 events: computational linguistics for literature X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20141221072703.26120.14236@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 581.

(The issue of this journal is in JSTOR.) I quote from the middle and end of her very short article. She laments his untimely death, > the abrupt cancellation of an enterprise whose scale and multivalence > stood in obstinate, reasoned defiance of dualities which, in our > culture, are accorded the status of ontologically irresolvable > antinomies.... and concludes that his incomplete project is > testimony to that consistent, strenuously seminal role of Frampton as > mediator in the difficult and delicate negotiation of a marriage of > Poesis and Mathesis, a union as scandalous and difficult in our > culture as that of Heaven and Hell.

You're right, and I should have been more precise in my language. So far as I can work out, the Zotero project does release the code for the dataserver as part of the Git repository but offers no documentation or support on how to actually run the server as a private instance. Hence while the project is technically open source, including the server, it's effectively an open-source client with a freemium server. There are threads in the wiki about trying to build and run the dataserver (and lots of failed attempts!); quite clearly that's not an option the Zotero developers support. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id A4946AF5; Wed, 24 Dec 2014 07:32:29 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 16AE9AE9; Wed, 24 Dec 2014 07:32:29 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 37DC7AEB; Wed, 24 Dec 2014 07:32:27 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20141224063227.37DC7AEB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2014 07:32:27 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.589 proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2014 08:26:50 -0500 From: Darrell Meadows Subject: Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions FY2016 In-Reply-To: Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to inform you that the FY2016 announcement for the Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions program is now available. To view the announcement, visit: : http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/editions.html. The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American history or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project. The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story.

Please encourage eligible candidates to apply. We interpret big data to include big cultural issues such as gender, race, accessibility and globalization, and we are making contacts across many disciplines and worldwide. Best wishes for the holidays, Alison ----- The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Virginia invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in digital humanities (DH), with a focus on textual analysis or big history. Applicants should have a Ph.D. at the time of appointment, and should have a record of interdisciplinary research in computer-assisted analysis of large corpora, archival documents, or other materials. Candidates should demonstrate competencies in one or more of the following: visualization, network analysis, software development, bibliometrics, and quantitative approaches to evidence, text processing, computational linguistics, natural language processing, or computer-assisted reading. We will consider applications from scholars investigating any historical period or cultural context, genre, theory, or method within humanities. A specialist in DH who is trained in large-scale analysis would complement Virginia's traditions of excellence and innovation in DH. The appointed scholar will foster interdisciplinary collaboration, pedagogy, and public access to research in DH. Opportunities for affiliation include the long-standing Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities and Scholars' Lab, within the University of Virginia Library, and initiatives including the Data Science Institute, the Center for the Study of Data & Knowledge, and the University of Virginia Advanced Computing Services & Engagement. UVA's excellence in textual studies, bibliography and the history of book as well as diverse programs in literatures and languages will enrich this professor's opportunities, yet potential home departments also include Media Studies, Anthropology, Art History, Drama, Music, Classics, Philosophy, History, and Religious Studies. With possible affiliation in programs such as Linguistics, Woodson Institute for African-American and African Studies, South Asia Center, East Asia Center, Women and Gender Studies, or American Studies, the appointment nevertheless is tenure-track within a department of Arts and Sciences rather than a center, institute, library, or program. This position is one of several interdisciplinary lines sponsored by the Mellon Foundation. The successful candidate will participate in activities of the Mellon-funded Institute of Humanities and Global Cultures, including one team-taught course in the first two years. The teaching load is two courses each, in fall and spring semesters. Teaching experience at the undergraduate and/or graduate level is preferred. To apply, submit a Candidate Profile through Jobs@UVa (https://jobs.virginia.edu), search on posting number 0615478 and electronically attach the following: CV; cover letter that includes a description of your research in the field; the names and contact information for three references; a statement of teaching philosophy; and a link to an Online Portfolio that includes examples and descriptions of digital work and/or research. Additional materials will be requested of those candidates selected for interviews. The review of applications will begin on January 15, 2015. The appointment will begin August 25, 2015. Questions regarding the application process should be directed to: June Webb, 434-924-6608. Direct questions about this position to Alison Booth, Search Committee Chair, Dig-hum@virginia.edu. The University performs background checks on all new faculty hires prior to making a final offer of employment.

It is applied widely as a conception of what particularly creative and socially relevant science should consist of, whether natural or social science. For the last 40 years researchers have built up a substantial body of literature constructing various visions of what interdisciplinarity should be like. Until recently, however, there has been little concern for how it is practiced in distinct research settings and fields. This brings to the fore the need to pay particular attention to the methodological and conceptual resources required to investigate and understand interdisciplinary research in action. Interdisciplinarity in science is often highly situated, distributed, and dynamic. It takes many forms and varieties, from occasional transfer of models and methods across disciplinary boundaries to the resources of one field being used for criticizing convictions in another. Interdisciplinarity may also be a matter of intensive ongoing collaboration solving complex problems with novel approaches. This type of collaboration requires negotiation of epistemic standards, trust and reliability, the coordination of expertise, and the distribution of tasks. Interdisciplinarity is thus a multidimensional and multi-scale phenomenon involving a rich interplay of established and novel scientific methodologies, expert and social cognition, disciplinary preferences and values, historical relationships, and institutional and policy frameworks. Sociology, anthropology, history, cognitive science, philosophy, economics, etc. bring with them a variety of methodological approaches for analyzing interdisciplinary practice. Each affords an in-depth understanding of particular instances of this practice, its history and cultural underpinnings. We invite contributions that introduce, discuss, and reflect upon distinct methodological perspectives – both empirical and theoretical – on interdisciplinarity in science. Examples are analytic, ethnographic, social epistemological, scientometric, discourse analytic, and historical perspectives. The papers should demonstrate the affordances and challenges of the respective approaches by relating them to specific cases. The central objectives of our Workshop are: -To create an awareness for affordances and limitations of the respective approaches. -To explore opportunities for combining approaches toward developing a more comprehensive understanding of interdisciplinary practice in its different configurations and characteristics. The Workshop will bring together scholars from the broad range of humanities and social sciences studying scientific practice and culture. A selection of the Workshop papers will be published as a special issue of a major journal and/or an edited volume.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 25 Dec 2014 19:02:13 +0000 From: Alexander O'Connor Subject: The Tears of Donald Knuth [The following refers to "The Tears of Donald Knuth" by Thomas Haigh, which appeared in Communications of the ACM, Vol. 58 No. 1, Pages 40-44. --WM] The question of whether a non-technical scholar can judge effectively the history of a discipline is one well-discussed on this forum. Nonetheless I thought this article was worth bringing the attention of the list to: http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2015/1/181633-the-tears-of-donald-knuth/fulltext Some select passages that caught my eye: * In his lecture Knuth worried that a "dismal trend" in historical work meant that "all we get nowadays is dumbed down" through the elimination of technical detail. According to Knuth "historians of math have always faced the fact that they won't be able to please everybody." He feels that other historians of science have succumbed to "the delusion that ... an ordinary person can understand physics ..." * Current enthusiasm for the "digital humanities" and the inescapable importance of computing to the modern world could provide opportunities. One day humanities search committees might even seek out historians of computing, but only those whose work engages with and appeals to scholars who themselves know nothing of computer science. In the meantime many scholars with doctorates in the history of computing have found work in museums or in academic employment outside both history and computer science, for example, in business schools, information schools, or specialist programs such as engineering education. These positions pose their own disciplinary challenges, but for obvious reasons provide few incentives to study the history of computer science. * To summarize, the upper-right quadrant in the accompanying table is essentially empty. It reflects historical work forming the backbone of a scholarly career and intended as a contribution to computer science. I share Knuth's regret that the technical history of computer science is greatly understudied. The main cause is that computer scientists have lost interest in preserving the intellectual heritage of their own discipline. -- Dr. Alexander O'Connor ——— CNGL Knowledge & Data Engineering Group School of Computer Science & Statistics Trinity College, University of Dublin Dublin 2, Ireland ------ Alex.OConnor@scss.tcd.ie _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id CB4E2ACD; Sat, 27 Dec 2014 10:18:42 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 21269ABE; Sat, 27 Dec 2014 10:18:42 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6009EABD; Sat, 27 Dec 2014 10:18:39 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20141227091839.6009EABD@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 27 Dec 2014 10:18:39 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.595 programming for humanists: a course & webinar X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20141227091842.12991.10879@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 595.

Beginning Friday, January 23, 2015, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Central US time Online meeting via join.me This Spring, 2015, the *Programming4Humanists *course at Texas A&M University will offer a more in-depth view of XSLT than covered in previous courses, focusing on it for four 2-hour meetings. Participants will learn to change an archive of TEI documents into multiple formats: XML (i.e., when changes need to be made to an archive’s TEI encoding), HTML, ePubs, and database files. Three classes will be spent learning R for text mining and analysis. There will be one class each on XPath and XQuery that will introduce participants to ways of manipulating an archive of TEI/XML documents. Finally, five 2-hour classes will introduce participants to the process of OCR’ing historical documents using open source tools developed by IDHMC for eMOP, the Mellon-funded Early Modern OCR Project ( http://emop.tamu.edu). Classes on R will be taught by Neal Audenaert, recipient of Digital Humanities grants from NEH and Mellon, and veteran instructor at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute at the University of Victoria. Dr. David Michelson and Cliff Anderson from Vanderbilt will teach XQuery. The course meets for two hours on Fridays, 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. (Central), beginning January 23, 2015 through May 8, 2015 (except TAMU Spring Break Week, Good Friday and two Monday classes), see Syllabus on programming4HUManists website for exact course dates. Registrants may attend in person or online.

There's O'Hagan's passing observation that "everyday material that hasn't been digitised and has no fame value is increasingly hard to find", and specific questions about identity in the age of social media, all to be expected, but much more of much greater interest that arises from his attempt to become another person. Renewal goes deeper than one may suspect and is to my mind a more rewarding way to spend these hours of more than usual idleness reading about than making resolutions for 2015. All the best in the new year almost upon us.

Extended Deadline: January 5, 2015!! ============================================== No matter whether mobile devices, ubiquitous computing, intercultural human-computer interaction (HCI), public interfaces, interactive art, experimental games, social computing, or robots and virtual agents: wherever new technologies disturb or merge situational norms and audiences, embarrassment is likely. This makes (fears of) embarrassment a fundamental hurdle to adoption and engagement for any interactive system, but also turns them into an interesting design space for experimental interfaces. This one-day workshop, co-located with CHI 2015 in Seoul, convenes researchers, designers, and artists to share and advance the current state of knowledge on embarrassment in HCI, and chart an agenda for future work. We especially invite participants across cultures to enable cross-cultural debate, and work that can be engaged with on site. # Topics of Special Interest # * Forms, causes, conditions, processes of embarrassment in HCI * Cultural differences in embarrassment; embarrassment in intercultural HCI and interactive systems crossing cultures * Design for reducing embarrassment as an undesired experience and hurdle to adoption and engagement * Design for embarrassment as a desired experience in art, education, activism # Submission # Interested authors should submit a 3-4 page position paper in the CHI extended abstract format together with a 50-word biography to easychair.org/conferences/?conf=embarassing15. Practitioners can alternatively submit a presentation. We also invite researchers, artists, and designers to submit works that relate to embarrassment and can be engaged with during the workshop. The organizing committee will review submissions and select up to 20 based on relevance, quality, and diversity of inputs. Papers, presentations, work descriptions, and biographies will be published on the workshop site. See embarrassinginteractions.org for details. # Important Dates # January 5, 2015: Submission deadline February 2, 2015: Notification of acceptance April 18/19, 2015 (tbd.): Workshop # Organizing committee # Sebastian Deterding (contact), Adrian Cheok, Jussi Holopainen, Andrés Lucero, Chulhong Min, Annika Waern, Steffen P.

In particular we are addressing the records created by linguists in fieldwork on small languages, often those for which there were no previous records. I am writing to ask if you know of disciplines in which PhD (for example) can be awarded for the creation of a well-annotated set of primary records. I know that this is the case for editions of manuscripts for example. Can you let me know of such PhD projects (offline) and I will compile the responses for anyone who is interested.

However, it also entails many open questions and deep ethical ramifications. This one-day workshop, co-located with CHI 2015 in Seoul, convenes HCI and game researchers as well as industry practitioners and ethicists to advance the practice of using gamified systems and games as research contexts and tools in an ethical manner. # Topics of Special Interest # * Methods of studying gamified systems and games * Application of gamified systems and games as research contexts and tools * Utility and opportunities of gamified systems and games in research and data gathering * Challenges in gamifying research; design strategies for reducing bias and improving quality * Ethical issues in gamifying research # Submission # Interested authors should submit a 3-4 page position paper in the CHI extended abstract format or a presentation to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gamichi15. The organizing committee will review submissions and select up to 20 based on relevance, quality, and diversity of inputs.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 31 Dec 2014 17:02:15 +0000 From: Martin Mueller Subject: Re: 28.599 recognition of annotated collections? In-Reply-To: <20141231093214.2B3D8AFE@digitalhumanities.org> Well into the fifties, it was a common practice in departments of English for graduate students to do editions of this or that as a dissertation. Broadly speaking, "data curation" then counted as a form of scholarly work. The practice has largely fallen into disuse, and it is part of a larger story where a scholarly community that practices "analytics" or criticism has ceded the responsibility for the care and feeding of its primary materials to others. Jerry McGann has been eloquent on the negative consequences of this development. The New York Times had an interesting piece about "data janitoring" a few months ago. Its main point was that it often took researchers more time to get their stuff into analyzable shape than to to do the analysis. A few years I served on an NEH panel for "Digging into Data." What I remember most vividly is that very few of the projects had properly diggable data. It is perhaps time to restore some forms of data curation to a higher place in the prestige economy of scholarly work. In he world between roughly 1850 and 1950 "Lower Criticism" was widely recognized as the foundation for scholarly work and as something that had to be built by the scholars rather than by somebody else. It had its detractors even then: Nietzsche exclaimed "Was hilft mir der echte Text wenn ich ihn nicht verstehe" (what us is the authentic text if I don't understand it), but he was a little disingenuous in trashing a craft that he drew upon himself. Hartmut Erbse was not a particularly imaginative Hellenist, but his magisterial edition of the Iliad scholia is widely recognized a major contribution to Homeric scholarship, and it was a much better use of this highly productive scholar's time than to try his hand at the kind of interpretation that the deeply imaginative Karl Reinhardt excelled at. The creation of carefully and widely analyzable annotated material in a linguistic corpus or any other collection of data seems to me to be a very legitimate scholarly activity. Falstaff said that he was not only witty in himself but the cause that wit was in other men. In scholarship and science some people may have more "wit" and others may be better at laying the foundation for wit in "other men". Or women. Remember Rosalind Franklin, whose work was for quite a long belittled as if it were some form of high-level clerical work beneath the dignity of proper scientists. Her case has more to do with the building and skilled use of tools than with data curation, but the main point is the same. It's a matter of what I like to call the "banausic prejudice." In the Nicomachean Ethics Aristotle talks about hierarchies of activity and says that bridle-making is part of horsemanship. The horseman on that view is a finer thing than the bridle-maker. Which is perhaps true. On the other hand, was there ever a moment when the horseman said to some craftsman: "Make me a new thing that I want to call a bridle"? Or did some tinkerer with leather come up with a contraption that over time transformed horsemanship? Either way, no horseman without bridles.

I’d like to call your attention to an _opus magnum_ on the history, epistemology and anthropology of informatics written by the Italian mathematician and historian Luigi Borzacchini: _Il computer di Platone_ (2005) and _Il computer di Ockham_ (2010). The author, who teaches History of Mathematics and Discrete Mathematics at the university of Bari, carried his studies for more than fifteen years, and in my opinion these volumes (and a third one announced by the author) will become a landmark interdisciplinary resource for the years to come. Although I’ve been studying and consulting both works since 2009, it would be difficult for me to summarize the content (each book consisting of more than 500 pages…), but I think it will be of great interest to digital humanists, computer scientists and historians of computing. A fellow Italian mathematician in the introduction rightly defines _Il computer di Platone_ as “an archeology of formal thinking” (_archeologia del pensiero formale_), and with the second volume the perspective spans from the Greeks to the Middle Ages, including documented reflections on Chinese and Indian intellectual traditions. In more than one passage Borzacchini refers to his work as an historical, cultural and theoretical account of the concepts and ideas behind the digital dimension, and defines “informatica” (computing / informatics) a “science of signs”. Even more interesting for us is, in my opinion, his idea of the history of mathematics as a “radical anthropology”. For those who don’t read Italian, the author has generously provided an English presentation/summary and the translation of the tables of contents. I posted everything here together with a short review: http://infolet.it/2014/12/28/il-computer-di-platone/ Although I enjoyed reading his elegant and witty Italian prose, I think his work deserves a wider audience, so I encourage foreign colleagues to spread the word among Anglophone publishers! Happy 2015 to all!

I asked if anyone might shed some light on the roots of the distinction. I have found a piece by Higgins that provides some background. And there is a programming element at play. Fortran no less! Higgins in a Something Else Press Newsletter from 1968 (in a text with a dateline of New York, December 23, 1967) gives a little bit more about this GEOMETRIC VS ALGEBRAIC distinction. This freedom to use whatever has been proved as a sort of experience leading towards its possible inclusion in the next steps one decides to take seems to me characteristic of Geometry, from Euclid to matrix theory, as well as a key point in the new mentality. [...] The algebraic mentality is pretty much the same as McLuhan's print-oriented man, whom he explains as the end result of the books and newspapers. This to my mind rests on some contentious dichotomies. What is interesting however is how Higgins in a dialectical movement kicks his discourse up a notch and proposes a new mentality for what he observes to be intermedia. Very interesting that the turn relies on the specifics of computer programming in Fortran. To finish with this point, there is perhaps a common ground, in set theory, a set theory of the arts, implied by that of, for example, Fortran IV computer programming, where we say: A = A plus 1. In Algebraic logic, this is unthinkable, an obvious example of argument from shifting grounds. In computer work it means, "what was A is now to be increased by one." It indicates a mathematical usage, to the point of convention, of what I described at the very beginning as the general sense of flux, of things changing their real essence according to their usages. But in the program, each time A is increased, either by being sent back to repeat a process (repetition was a pretty dirty word in art till recently) or by constantly being made to confront itself, it changes. This allows for all kinds of juxtapositions and inter-exchanges of elements of any repeatable modulus in an argument — or in a poem. This, intuitively or not, the poets who have given us the term concrete poetry seem to have recognized. they were and are cognizant not only of the Geometric aspect of the new mentality, but of the one we seem to be moving towards which, somehow, it's had to name "synthetic," so let's call it simply the "happy mentality" out of love for the world we're moving ever deeper into. I wonder how Higgins foray into the hermeneutics of computer programming might have gone if he had realized that the distinction he elaborated with reference to mentalities is from a stylistic perspective simply the categories of parataxis and hypotaxis at work.

On the other hand, there is a lot that can be done without access to them. As for enhancement, have a look at http://devadorner.northwestern.edu/corpussearch, where a version of the ECCO and Evans texts, linguistically annotated with Phil Burns' MorphAdorner, is mediated via BlackLab library written by Jan Niestadt and his colleagues at the Dutch Institute for Lexicography. From an interface perspective, this is a very preliminary proof-of-concept implementation, but it lets you get at a lot of the good stuff that a powerful corpus query language can extract from a properly prepared corpus. For instance, you can look for phrases of the type "handsome, clever, and rich" in the Evans corpus and learn right away that Colonial America was a very serious society not forgiving of an "idle , slothful , and intermittent Performance of Duty" or a "careless indifferent or unsteady Assent unto the Gospel-Revelation". And you can download the ~15,000 hits of this kind into a spreadsheet for subsequent manipulation. There is a good chance that an implementation of this search environment for the entire TCP corpus will soon be available. As for corrections,I have worked with a group of Northwestern undergraduates on the curation of some 500 early modern plays, and we fixed ~45,000 incompletely or incorrectly transcribed passages. More than half of the corrections don't require access to the page image at all as long as you're not interested in distinguishing between errors of transcription or printing errors in the source texts. I'm probably not the only person in the world for whom that distinction does not matter very much. As far as I know, in the TCP texts the endemic confusions of 'f' and tall 's' are tacitly correctly without regard to whether the error was the printer's or the transcriber's. Harding's Sicily and Naples contains this charming plea from the printer: Reader. Before thou proceed'st farther, mend with thy pen these few escapes of the presse: The delight & pleasure I dare promise thee to finde in the whole, will largely make amends for thy paines in correcting some two or three syllables. Even without access to the images there is a lot that readers can do. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id BCB86B4D; Sun, 4 Jan 2015 11:21:05 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D729BB1B; Sun, 4 Jan 2015 11:21:04 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6BCEAB3F; Sun, 4 Jan 2015 11:21:02 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150104102102.6BCEAB3F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 4 Jan 2015 11:21:02 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.612 DH Awards: call for nominations X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150104102105.3681.34@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 612.

The ‘material turn’ in Humanities research has seen a celebration of the physicality of things and a revaluing of the weight of experience, including in the case of digital data. In his key text Mechanisms, Matthew Kirschenbaum identifies a need to reassess theories of electronic textuality in light of “the material matrix governing writing and inscription in all forms: erasure, variability, repeatability and survivability” (2008, xii). In the academy, this material turn co-exists with an increasing utilization of digital resources and digital methodologies to preserve and disseminate the findings of our research. These shifts are accompanied by divergent affective responses that include an interest in tactile sensations and a mourning of the loss of the object. There is a new awareness of the forms of lightness or weight attached to the transmission of ideas in and beyond our research communities; the densities of our culture and scholarship. The ever more numerous moments of contact between material culture and digital methodologies open up debates that are of both practical and theoretical significance. We invite papers that explore any aspect of the intersection between digital and material cultures. We warmly encourage proposals from scholars with a range of disciplinary backgrounds as well as from archival practitioners. Topics and questions to be addressed might include: What are the critical practices in the intersection of digital humanities and the material turn? Where are the material traces in the digital? What labour is involved in the transitions between the material and the digital?How do material and digital objects, practices and networks interrelate? What is lost in translations from material to digital, and what is gained? What is it that archives seek, and are able, to preserve? What are the political and territorial disputes of material conservation? How are creativity, meaning and contemporary resonance expressed in museums, libraries and archives? What material, theoretical and ethical challenges are posed by the collection and use of data? Case studies of particular archival collections and the relationships they create between the material and the digital. What are the opportunities and limitations for pedagogy? How have contemporary representations imagined the digital transformation of contemporary cultures? The symposium will run for one day. Proposals for 20 minute papers should contain an abstract of 150 words, as well as your paper title, a short biography (100 words), institutional affiliation and contact details. Proposals should be submitted by 4th February 2014 to amandat@unimelb.edu.au The Digital Humanities Incubator (DHI) is an initiative of the School of Culture and Communication at The University of Melbourne, and is supported by a collaborative Faculty of Arts Research Grant.

There is a lot of discussion here and there about the technical and social problems involved in creating a collaborative editing platform that would allow for the incrementation correction and improvement of the texts over the time. As usual, the social problems of trust and sharing are much bigger than the technical problems. I expect to make a version of some 500 plays, partly improved and in various states of (im)perfection available at some point in 2015, and there is a simple collaborative curation tool that supports the correction of the simplest and most common defects in the EEBO-TCP texts: http://annolex.at.northwestrn.edu. And that tool is attached to a workflow that allows for the algorithmic integration of approved corrections into the source texts. It's still a lot of slow and tedious work, and who wants to do that? --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 14:30:00 +0000 From: Owen Williams Subject: CFApps for Early Modern Digital Agendas 2015 (due 2 March 2015) In-Reply-To: <20150106061201.03A67B62@digitalhumanities.org> If you've now had a chance to access the Phase 1 files of the EEBO-TCP collection through Github and/or already have ideas for managing, analyzing, and visualizing those texts, please consider applying for "Early Modern Digital Agendas: Advanced Topics," an ODH institute that will run under the direction of Jonathan Hope from 15 June to 1 July 2015 at the Folger Institute, Folger Shakespeare Library, in Washington, DC.

In-Reply-To: <20150106062423.A90C1B6E@digitalhumanities.org> Great question. Here's a different perspective from someone closer to your cohort (but not the group you were soliciting): I learned to type on a typewriter (took my first typing class in 1978), but I seldom preserve already typed characters when using a standard keyboard. I'm more likely to preserve characters when text messaging or otherwise typing on my phone, though. I remember at one point counting keystrokes/actions involving different kinds of activities and figuring out which ones required the least number to get the same results.

On the other hand, it might be useful also to consider what people might do if they had a decent versioning system to work with for writing text rather than having to consciously construct one with episodic saves--so it might be interesting to investigate what programmers who are using one do at the keyboard during code revisions.

We seek proposals on Digital Humanities work from researchers, practitioners, and graduate students which showcase innovative ways in which digital methods have brought scholarship and scholarly communities to life, whether locally or globally. Our plenary speakers Professor Elizabeth Maddock Dillon (Northeastern University) and Professor David Lee Miller (University of South Carolina) will anchor our program of events, reflecting our main focus on digital methods and the communities which these can forge, as well as our subject-specific interests in American studies and Early Modern studies. We especially welcome proposals which discuss the use of digital methods and their novel results for research, pedagogy, and public scholarship. The deadline for submitting abstracts is 15th January 2015. We have three key “pathways” for which participants can submit abstracts: · Digital Methods: presentations on exciting new applications of digital methods, whether to bring an under-served subject to public attention, or to break new ground in established fields. · Methods in Early Modern Digital Scholarship: proposals on the use of digital techniques in early modern studies, including literary and historical scholarship. · Methods in American Studies Digital Scholarship: proposals on the use of digital techniques in any aspect of American studies, broadly conceived to include the earliest known surviving evidence of Native American people to present day issues, from history to literature, music, religious studies, and gender and race studies. Main Conference Proposals: We seek proposals for the following types of presentation for Friday 10th April and Saturday 11th April 2015: · 20-minute papers · Posters · Digital exhibits · Bring your digital exhibit to the conference and present it as you would a poster. · Roundtables · Experiential presentations · 20-30 minute workshop-style presentations walking your audience through a digital method which you have used for specific scholarly outcomes. · Panels of three or four 20-minute papers or two experiential presentations. All proposals should be made via the Submissions page on the conference website. They should be between 400-500 words, with a 100-word version for inclusion in the conference program should the proposal be successful. Deadline for submissions is 15th January 2015. Pre-Conference Workshop Proposals: We will be hosting a pre-conference on Thursday 9th April 2015 aimed primarily at educators and practitioners from the region keen to investigate digital methods for their pedagogy, public scholarship, and research, and to share some of their own innovative approaches in this field. The day will consist of a series of hands-on workshops, and we seek proposals from people interested in offering sessions. Workshop topics might include, but are not limited to, the following: · Interactive digital techniques for teaching and learning. · Digital texts: their use and creation in classroom settings. · Students as participants in digital knowledge creation. · Digital mapping. · Digital exhibit making for research and pedagogy. · Historical social networks made digital. · Creating Twitter histories. Abstracts should be 400-500 words long with a 100-word version for inclusion in the conference program.

Mark Algee-Hewitt, Mark McGurl: "Between Canon and Corpus: Six Perspectives on 20th-Century Novels" Stanford Literary Lab, Pamphlet 8 "Between Canon and Corpus: Six Perspectives on 20th-Century Novels", ed. Mark Algee-Hewitt, Mark McGurl “Of the many, many thousands of novels and stories published in English in the twentieth century, which group of several hundred would represent the most reasonable, interesting, and useful subset of the whole?” Thus begins the latest Pamphlet of the Literary Lab, in which Mark Algee-Hewitt and Mark McGurl sketch out a broad, ambitious map of modern narrative in English. Laying bare the disparate systems of evaluation whose interactions define our objects of study, "Between Canon and Corpus" charts the inner dynamic of the 20th-century literary field in a newly sophisticated way. Combining network theory, book history, and literary sociology, Algee-Hewitt’s and McGurl’s research marks the Literary Lab’s first attempt to come to terms with the literary field as a unified, internally differentiated system: a line of inquiry to which we will devote increasing attention in the years to come.

In-Reply-To: <20150106062423.A90C1B6E@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I do. It's quite silly, but the reason is I feel sorry for the letters being erased. They came into life on my call, and their lives are cut short because they aren't 'correct' somehow, which is hardly their fault. So I try to save as many as I can. (I'm an unfair sample though, I learned typing on an old Remington, later on an electronic typewriter of beastlike dimensions, then switched to computers around 1980(?))

I'm -- at least partially in the cohort you're after. I did learn to 'type' on a typewriter but it was more of an individualistic rapid hen peck than anything else. I don't think I ever took a formal typing class although my mother had her college-era typing manual and made at least some attempt to have me learn. I've been a touch typist since I got to computer keyboards; still self-taught, though, so I'm surely hitting keys in the 'wrong' order. As far as moving text on the screen goes, I tend to delete and re-type because I've had one too many close shaves or outright collisions with leaving half-finished sentences or wrong constructions in important documents to feel comfortable leaving text in that I know I'm not going to use. If I suspect I *might* need something already typed later but am not sure, I'm more likely to push it right down the page as a separate chunk or even make a separate document of bits and pieces. I don't know if that helps but I thought it was too interesting a question not to answer! -Hanna ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Processing Assistant, Center for the History of Medicine Project Coordinator, Medical Heritage Library (http://www.medicalheritage.org/) Seminar Archivist, GLCA Boston Summer Seminar (http://bostonsummerseminar.org/) 617-432-2666 _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id EB2EDBC8; Thu, 8 Jan 2015 06:57:25 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 304CEBC4; Thu, 8 Jan 2015 06:57:25 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9E00BBC1; Thu, 8 Jan 2015 06:57:22 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150108055722.9E00BBC1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 06:57:22 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.626 Vietnamese OCR?

The DHBenelux conference is a young initiative that strives to further the dissemination of, and collaboration between Digital Humanities projects in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg by hosting an annual conference in various institutions throughout these countries. The conference serves as a platform for the fast growing community of DH researchers to meet, present and discuss their latest research results and to demonstrate tools and projects. The first DHBenelux conference took place in The Hague (The Netherlands) in 2014 and was a great success, attracting an audience of over 160 participants with a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, coming from a variety of different countries (including but not limited to the Benelux). In 2015 the conference aspires to welcome an even larger and more diverse audience. = Conference, Program, Venue = The DHBenelux 2015 conference will be proudly hosted by the University of Antwerp. The conference will take place on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 June 2015 at the University of Antwerp campus. The DHBenelux conference welcomes contributions and participants from all areas of research and teaching in Digital Humanities. While the conference has a focus on recent advances in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg, we do warmly welcome contributions from outside the Benelux. The language of the conference is international English. We hope that we may welcome many scholars to the European scientific meeting platform that DHBenelux will constitute in summer 2015 for the Digital Humanities. The conference program will offer oral presentations, project presentations, poster sessions, and a demo space. Our first confirmed keynote speaker will be William Noel (http://www.willnoel.com/), Director of The Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania. = Call = We now invite submissions of abstracts on any aspect of digital humanities: practical experimentation, thorough theorizing, cross- and multidisciplinary work, new and relevant developments. Relevant subjects can be any of—but are not limited to—the following: - Digital media, digitization, curation of digital objects - Software studies, modeling, information design - Text mining, data mining, big data & small data - Design and application of algorithms and analyses - Application of digital technology in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies - Critical study of digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games - Social and economic aspects of digitality and digital humanities - Stylometry, topic modeling, sentiment mining and other digital techniques - Interfaces, augmented reality, serious gaming - Pedagogy, teaching, and dissemination of digital humanities We particularly encourage PhD students and junior researchers to submit abstracts. Note that this call is not limited to researchers in the Benelux. Anyone can submit an abstract. Proposal should be at least 250 words, not exceeding 500 words. References and/or bibliography, recommended but not obligatory, are excluded from the word count. Proposals may contain graphics and illustrations. Proposals and abstracts should clearly state the title and name and affiliation of the authors and presenters. Also indicate for which category (or categories) of presentation you are submitting your proposal. Presentation categories are: * Paper Oral presentations on papers will be given 15 minutes presentation time and 5 minutes for Q&A. Oral presentations are well suited for presenting research methods and results, concise theoretical argument, reporting on ongoing research, project presentations, and presenting intermediate finds or theory development. * Poster Posters are particularly suited for detailed technical explanations and clarifications, and for the show and tell of projects and research alike. A two hour poster session is scheduled, posters may be put up for display during the entire conference. * Demonstration For demonstrating prototypes, finished software, hardware technology, tools, datasets, digital publications and so forth a 'market place' will be organized. Proposals may combine two presentation modes, e.g. to support the theory detailed in a paper presentation with a practical demonstration on the demo market place. Combined presentations should either consist of a paper plus demonstration, or a paper and poster. In the interest of planning we ask authors to be very careful in indicating chosen combinations of presentation modes. To submit your proposal, please use the EasyChair facility that we have put online at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dhbenelux2015. = Important dates = Deadline for submitting abstracts: Sunday 1 March 2015, 23:59 CET. Notification of acceptance: Sunday 15 March 2015. Deadline for revised abstracts: Wednesday 1 April 2015. = More information = Please check our website at http://dhbenelux.org/ for further details that will become available running up to the conference.

O'Hagan chronicles his project to do online what the Metropolitan Police Force (or The Met) of London did offline until very recently: invent a life using a dead child's identity as its starting point. Some of us here will remember how in the early days of online communications (toward the end of which Humanist began) the prospect of remaking one's identity promised liberation from all manner of physical and social limitations -- as the spread of the telephone did before it. Indeed people were thus liberated, Humanist being a mild example of that. But so much else happened and is happening as well. O'Hagan's wonderful piece does far more than put paid to the naive dream. I'd say it sets a usefully high bar for internet studies to leap over, if it can. Read it tonight!

Stark, eds., Rhetoric and the Early Royal Society: A Sourcebook (Leiden: Brill, 2015), for reasons obvious from the editors' Introduction. Their aim is "to evaluate the early Society's pioneering role in reimagining the nature of facts, words, print, authority, and audience, among other things, which ultimately gave rise to a new species of writing and reading: the modern scholarly article and its concomitant disinterested, objective reader. We also examine", they write, "the early Society's related commitment to performance and display, especially through the personal witnessing of live demonstrations..." that continues nowadays in digital media. The remainder of the book reprints key articles on the subject. I think of Foucault's declaration in "Parresia" (Critical Inquiry 41, Winter 2015): "If you want to know who you are, remember what you were" (p. 238).

The volume brings together leading scholars from across the humanities to explore the transformation in recent years of scholarly publishing - including the growth of digital publishing and changes to the role and strategies of publishers and libraries alike - and consider the challenges and opportunities it brings. Visit the AUP website [...] Call for Submissions for History of Humanities, a new journal to be published by the University of Chicago Press The University of Chicago Press has announced the launch of History of Humanities, a new journal devoted to the historical and comparative study of the humanities. The first issue will be published in the spring of 2016. "History of Humanities is the first journal devoted to assembling scholarly studies on the comparative history of the humanities disciplines. History of Humanities publishes work that transcends the history of specific humanities disciplines by comparing scholarly practices across disciplines, comparing humanistic traditions in different cultures and civilizations, relating the humanities to the natural and social sciences, and studying developments, problems, and transformations within a discipline that have wider significance for the history of knowledge in general. The journal is equally interested in papers on questions concerning the societal relevance of the humanities from an historical perspective. Special Forum sections of the journal will present a coherent set of short papers written by different authors but devoted to a specific theme." More information on the journal and Call for Submissions is available here. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5D063BA9; Thu, 8 Jan 2015 22:32:02 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ACF8BB89; Thu, 8 Jan 2015 22:32:01 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9436AB89; Thu, 8 Jan 2015 22:31:58 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150108213158.9436AB89@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2015 22:31:58 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.629 Mellon postdoc at Berkeley X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150108213202.15647.90006@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 629.

When we were negotiating the original contract, we tested a variety of scripts on the vendor and they did pretty well. We didn't try Vietnamese (or any eastern, to be honest, in those pre GO::DH days). But they did well on different types of Russian, Greek, and a medieval manuscript in Insular Miniscule. There is a per-page charge, but it is quite reasonable.

One of the joys of working with Emacs is the buffer. The user can select and paste from many blocks of copied or cut text. Every time the user copies or cuts a region, the block is added to the buffer without wiping out the previous block. It's a compositor's dream. One of the other joys of working with Emacs is the terminology: mark, point, kill-region, copy-region, yank from the kill ring. Text editing sounds like a playground game of dodge ball. I like the symmetry: select a block to be copied or cut; select from copied or cut blocks. Emacs is a generous replicator. With other applications and platforms, I have achieved similar results using multiple windows to create and access scrapbooks. Still there is a difference. Select, copy and paste [using multiple windows and a wordprocessor or text editor] is not select and paste [using Emacs]. http://berneval.blogspot.ca/2009/07/copy-paste-paste.html Francois Lachance Scholar-at-Large _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.2 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLACK autolearn=no version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 42F35BDB; Fri, 9 Jan 2015 06:51:07 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8A82ABD1; Fri, 9 Jan 2015 06:51:06 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 581F3BCF; Fri, 9 Jan 2015 06:51:04 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150109055104.581F3BCF@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2015 06:51:04 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.632 lectureship: Science and Engineering in Arts Heritage and Archaeology X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150109055106.14788.6506@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 632.

We are especially interested to hear about which material you use, and which of the resources are available online. Do you use free and open source material, or is it covered by restrictive licenses? Does it meet the needs of students or inexperienced scholars, and where does it fall short? With regard to the training program or curriculum: did you design it yourself based on the needs of your group, or did you follow a certain program that is offered online? The general idea is to make an inventory of what already exist and bring that together, before reinventing the wheel or overlooking the obvious. It would be great if you could get back to us before the 23rd of January. Thanks in advance for any information and advice.

Industry and academic researchers (including graduate and undergraduate students) are encouraged to submit Research Papers, Experience Reports, and Posters. Contributions may include studies of design processes, research methods, pedagogical practices, deployment analyses, and situated use studies related to the design and use of communication systems and artifacts. SIGDOC will be co-located with the IEEE International Professional Communications Conference (July 12-15) and the Council for Programs in Technical and Scientific Communication (July 15) in Limerick, Ireland. Topics of Interest Proposals should address topics including, but not limited to: Content Strategy Technical Communication User Experience International and Intercultural Communication Design Learning Systems/Environments Open Source Design Solutions Collaborative Platforms Design Methods and Principles Digital Humanities and Design Project Management Information Design and Information Architecture Computer-Mediated Communication Experience Architecture Submission types This year we are introducing a new way of submitting for SIGDOC. First, short proposals will be submitted for review. Once a proposal is reviewed and accepted, the author(s) will write either a full-length paper (Research and technical papers or experience reports) or extended abstract (posters and panels). The full-length papers and extended abstracts will then be reviewed, sent back to the authors for final edits and ACM formatting, and resubmitted as “camera-ready” submissions. Papers and extended abstracts will be published in the Conference Proceedings and in the ACM Digital Library. A new video, with captions, describes the new submission process: Submitting a proposal for SIGDOC 2015 Research and technical papers Research papers present integrative reviews or original reports of substantive new work: theoretical, empirical, and/or in the design, development and/or deployment of novel systems. Papers will be reviewed for academic standards, relevance, conceptual quality, innovation, and clarity of presentation. Proposals not to exceed 500 words. The results described must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Final papers not to exceed 10 pages in length in ACM SIGDOC conference format (available at the site), including figures and references. Experience reports These reports present experience and reflections on a particular case, methodology or design idea from real life projects and deployments. They are reviewed for usefulness, clarity and reflection. Strong Experience Reports discuss both benefits and drawbacks of the approaches used and clearly call out lessons learned. Reports may focus on a particular aspect of technology usage and practice, or describe broad project experiences. Proposals not to exceed 500 words. Final papers not to exceed 6 pages in length in ACM SIGDOC conference format, including figures and references. Note: At least one author from a paper must register and attend the conference in order for the paper to be included in the Proceedings. Multiple papers will be grouped thematically by the Program Chair into 75 minute panels at the conference. OTHER OPTIONS Posters Posters are a less formal presentation of work in progress, theories, experimental work, new concepts, late-breaking research results, or work that is best communicated in conversation. Poster proposals may describe original research or novel designs. Successful applicants should bring their completed posters, up to 1x2m in size, to SIGDOC 2015 where they will be displayed at a special session during the conference. Proposals not to exceed 250 words. Final extended abstracts not to exceed 2 pages summarize poster in ACM SIGDOC conference format. Panel Proposals Panels should be comprised of multiple presenters organized around a specific topic relevant to the SIGDOC audience. Proposals not to exceed 250 words. Final extended abstracts not to exceed 2 pages summarize panel in ACM SIGDOC conference format. Note: All members of the panel must register for and attend the conference for the extended abstract to be included in the Proceedings. Workshop Proposals Workshops provide opportunities for engaged introductions to new developments in the field and participatory discussion of current ideas and practice. Successful workshop proposals explain clearly how registrants will participate in workshop activities and must include a schedule indicating times, registrant activities, and speakers. Proposed Workshops with no evidence of active participation by registrants will not be accepted. Workshops are scheduled for a half day on Thursday, 7/16, 9:00 a.m.- 12:00 p.m. Proposals not to exceed 1500 words. Important Dates This year the SIGDOC conference team has developed a new conference proposal design, with different due dates for proposals and final full-length articles/posters.

The objects as well as the tools and methods of humanist study are changing. In this context there is a growing realization of the need to re-invent digital humanities, to expand its reach, to develop critical modes of analysis, and explore new forms of cultural production. The Sussex Humanities Lab (SHL), a four year research programme based at the University of Sussex in the UK, is exploring these issues and the event is intended to develop a dialogue between the SHL and academics engaged with digital humanities in Finland. Programme 1:30–1:45 Introduction: Caroline Bassett, HCAS/Sussex, Mikko Tolonen, HCAS. 1:45–2:30 A lateral theory of time travel: digital humanities, SF and influence.

The conference will take place in Grenoble, from the 2nd to the 4th of September 2015. The goal of this conference is twofold: at the same time an assessment of existing methodologies and a looking forward to new ones. It also has the objective of evaluating current practices of the application of Digital Humanities to the study of antiquity, practices which are quite numerous but also sometimes disconnected from each other and without an overall understanding. The conference also aims to contribute toward the design of new projects and the opening new paths, by establishing a dialogue between scholars for whom the Digital Humanities are already familiar and those wishing to acquire knowledge and practice in this domain. The confirmed Keynote speakers are Gregory Crane (Tufts University & University of Leipzig) and Charlotte Roueché (King’s College London). The conference will be preceded by a workshop, particularly aimed at doctoral students, but open to everybody. The study of Antiquity encompass very large geographical, historical and linguistic domains: from the Mediterranean to the borders of Europe and Asia, from the end of Prehistory to the Middle Ages, and from Greek and Latin to the languages of the Near and Middle East. This study is also distributed among different disciplines: Linguistics, Philology, Literary Criticism, Philosophy, History, Archaeology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, etc. In all these disciplinary traditions, the application of computational techniques has been employed for several decades now, an application that has left quite a strong mark on the study of Antiquity. The employment of digital methods has also enabled substantial changes of methodology, the extent of which remains to be assessed. Considering the diversity of such approaches in a context of research which is more and more internationalised, it seems worthwhile to present to scholars and PhD students an overview of current research in order to develop future endeavours. The conference will be organised around four key topics: Editions of literary texts; Study of scholia and commentaries; Archaeology and Epigraphy; Prosopography and historical geography. Papers will focus on methodological questions and/or discuss general issues emerging within such topics. We also encourage proposals of posters presenting work in progress. Please send your proposals of up to 300 words, in French or English (which will be the languages of the conference) by the 15th of January 2015 to the organisers: icogitore@msh-alpes.fr elena.pierazzo@u-grenoble3.fr NB: In order to encourage the participation of young researchers, we will provide a limited number of bursaries. If you wish to be considered for one of these then please include a letter of motivation with your application. ========================= [French version] Le colloque «Humanités numériques : l’exemple de l’Antiquité», qui aura lieu à Grenoble du 2 au 4 septembre 2015, est organisé par l’Université Grenoble 3, l’Université Grenoble 2, la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme-Alpes, The Humboldt Chair for Digital Humanities, HISOMA. L’ambition de ce colloque est double, tournée vers du bilan et des perspectives, dans une orientation méthodologique. Ainsi, il a pour objectif de faire le point sur les pratiques actuelles, déjà nombreuses, mais souvent éparses, dans le domaine des humanités numériques appliquées à l’étude de l’Antiquité. En outre, il contribuera à définir de nouveaux projets et à ouvrir des pistes nouvelles en établissant un dialogue entre des spécialistes déjà habitués au numérique et des enseignants-chercheurs désireux de développer leurs connaissances et leur pratique dans ce domaine. Les keynote speakers ayant confirmé leur participation sont Gregory Crane (Tufts University & Univ. of Leipzig) et Charlotte Roueché (King’s College London). Les deux jours de colloque proprement dit (3 et 4 septembre) seront précédés d’une journée d’ateliers destinés spécialement aux doctorants mais ouvertes aussi aux enseignants chercheurs. Les sciences de l’Antiquité embrassent un très large domaine géographique (de la Méditerranée aux confins de l’Europe et de l’Asie), historique (de la fin de la Préhistoire au début du Moyen Âge) et linguistique (principalement grec et latin, mais sans négliger les langues du Proche- et Moyen-Orient). Elles reposent également sur des traditions disciplinaires variées : linguistique, philologie, critique littéraire, philosophie, histoire, archéologie, épigraphie, numismatique, etc. Dans toutes ces traditions disciplinaires, l’application de technologies numériques a connu, depuis plusieurs décennies, un développement considérable, qui n’a pas manqué de se marquer aussi dans les sciences de l’Antiquité. Les technologies numériques ont permis des renouvellements méthodologiques, dont nous n’avons pas encore pris toute la mesure. Devant la diversité de ces approches, dans un contexte de plus en plus internationalisé, il semble intéressant de proposer aux enseignants-chercheurs et aux doctorants un tour d’horizon de la recherche actuelle, qui permettra de dégager des perspectives pour le futur. Quatre axes ont été retenus : éditions de textes littéraires ; études de scholies et commentaires ; archéologie et épigraphie ; prosopographie et géographie. Les communications devront porter sur des questions méthodologiques et/ou poser des problèmes inhérents à ces démarches. Il est également possible de proposer des posters présentant des projets en cours. Les propositions de communication ou de posters (300 mots maximum, en français ou anglais, qui seront les langues de communication du colloque) sont à adresser au comité d’organisation : icogitore@msh-alpes.fr elena.pierazzo@u-grenoble3.fr au plus tard le 15 janvier 2015 NB : Quelques bourses sont prévues pour permettre la participation des jeunes chercheurs et doctorants. Si vous êtes intéressés par cette aide, merci de l’indiquer et d’argumenter votre demande par une lettre de motivation. -- Elena Pierazzo Professor of Italian Studies and Digital Humanities Bureau F307 Université de Grenoble 3 'Stendhal' BP 25 38040 Grenoble Cedex 9 Tel. +33 4 76828032 Visiting Senior Research Fellow King's College London Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Jan 2015 16:55:38 -0800 From: Molly Hardy Subject: HyperCities: Thick Mapping in the Digital Humanities Those in the NYC area might be interested in this event: This Thursday, Jan. 15, at 5pm at NYU Jurow Hall, Silver Center at NYU, NYC: Todd Presner (UCLA), in discussion with Matthew K.

It is applied widely as a conception of what particularly creative and socially relevant science should consist of, whether natural or social science. For the last 40 years researchers have built up a substantial body of literature constructing various visions of what interdisciplinarity should be like. Until recently, however, there has been little concern for how it is practiced in distinct research settings and fields. This brings to the fore the need to pay particular attention to the methodological and conceptual resources required to investigate and understand interdisciplinary research in action. Interdisciplinarity in science is often highly situated, distributed, and dynamic. It takes many forms and varieties, from occasional transfer of models and methods across disciplinary boundaries to the resources of one field being used for criticizing convictions in another. Interdisciplinarity may also be a matter of intensive ongoing collaboration solving complex problems with novel approaches. This type of collaboration requires negotiation of epistemic standards, trust and reliability, the coordination of expertise, and the distribution of tasks. Interdisciplinarity is thus a multidimensional and multi-scale phenomenon involving a rich interplay of established and novel scientific methodologies, expert and social cognition, disciplinary preferences and values, historical relationships, and institutional and policy frameworks. Sociology, anthropology, statistics, history, cognitive science, philosophy, economics, etc. bring with them a variety of methodological approaches for analyzing interdisciplinary practice. Each affords an understanding of particular facets and instances of this practice, its history and cultural underpinnings. We invite contributions that introduce, discuss, and reflect upon distinct methodological perspectives – both empirical and theoretical – on interdisciplinarity in science. Examples are analytic, ethnographic, social epistemological, scientometric, discourse analytic, and historical perspectives. The papers should demonstrate the affordances and challenges of the respective approaches by relating them to specific cases. The central objectives of our Workshop are: -To create an awareness for affordances and limitations of the respective approaches. -To explore opportunities for combining approaches toward developing a more comprehensive understanding of interdisciplinary practice in its different configurations and characteristics. The Workshop will bring together scholars from the broad range of humanities and social sciences studying scientific practice and culture. A selection of the Workshop papers will be published as a special issue of a major journal and/or an edited volume.

Kirschenbaum Deadline for proposals: 31 January 2015 Digital Material is a conference that considers the intersections of digital and material cultures in the humanities. How has the long history of studying material objects prepared us for understanding digital culture? To what degree does materiality inflect and inform our encounters with the digital? Recent years have seen an intensification of interest in both digital and material cultures. This broad trend has been mirrored in the academy by the growing prominence of digital humanities and the renewed focus on materiality and material objects within humanities disciplines. At the same time, libraries, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions are grappling with the theoretical and practical implications of preserving and exhibiting their material collections within increasingly digital infrastructures, while adapting to the challenges posed by born-digital materials. The conference invites discussion of a series of related issues: does a reinvigorated interest in material culture represent a conservative reaction to the perceived threat of digital culture, or is it evidence of an embrace of the innovative affordances of the digital? How do digital media represent the materiality of texts and objects? Does the digital constitute its own form of materiality? Proposals are invited on any aspect of the conference theme, including: * What is meant by 'digital materiality'? * What is lost and gained when we study material objects through their digital surrogates? * Relationships between digital texts and material texts. * Creation, curation, and preservation of digitised and born-digital artefacts. * Digital archives and material archives. * What parts of our digital culture will future scholars unearth? * Do digital objects embody their culture in the way that material objects do? * Does memory inhere in the material better than in the digital? * The digital collector: can we be possessive about digital artefacts? * Object lessons: digital and material pedagogy. * Representations of the intersections of digital and material cultures. * Technology, equipment, storage, media; matter, substance, simulation, virtuality; cloth, fabric, pulp, bits, bytes. Proposals may include: * 20-minute papers (abstract: 300-400 words). * Panels (individual paper abstracts plus 250-word overview). * Roundtables (abstract: 300-400 words plus names of speakers). All participants should include a short biography (100-200 words) with their proposals. Submit proposals at http://digitalmaterial.ie before 31 January 2015. Successful proposals will be notified of acceptance by 21 February 2015. -- Dr Justin Tonra, University Fellow in English, School of Humanities, National University of Ireland, Galway. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2015 10:58:19 +0100 From: Tommaso Caselli Subject: CFP: ACL 2015 Workshop on Computing News Storylines 2015 (NewsStory) Call for Papers Computing News Storylines 2015 (NewsStory 2015) Workshop in conjunction with ACL-IJCNLP 2015, Beijing, China More info: https://sites.google.com/site/computingnewsstorylines2015/home ******************************************************************************** Submission website: https://www.softconf.com/acl2015/CNewS/ =============== Important Dates =============== 14 May 2015: Submission deadline for Short and Long Papers 4 June 2015: Notification of Acceptance 21 June 2015: Camera-ready papers due 31 July 2015: Workshop =============== Scope and Topics =============== The First Worskop on Computing News Storylines (CNewS 2015) aims at bringing together researchers and scientists working on narrative extraction and representation from news within Computational Linguistics and Artificial Intelligence. Narratives are at the heart of information sharing. Ever since people began to share their experiences, they have connected them to form narratives. Modern day news reports still reflect this narrative structure, but they have proven difficult for automatic tools to summarise, structure, or connect to other reports. Most text processing tools focus on extracting relatively simple structures from the local lexical environment, and concentrate on the document as a unit or on even smaller units such as sentences or phrases, rather than cross-document connections especially published over longer periods of time. However, current information needs demand a move towards multidimensional and distributed representations which take into account the connections between all relevant elements involved in a “story”. The workshop aims at assessing the state-of-the-art in event extraction and linking, as well as detecting and ranking narratives according to salience. The workshop invites work on all aspects of generating narrative structures or components thereof from news. This includes topics such as (but not limited to): - detecting events from news - linguistic expression of relevant events - filtering relevant events - cumulation of information from news streams - detecting opinions and perspectives - finding trending or serendipitous stories in news - tracing perspective change through time - modeling plot structures - storyline stability and completeness - annotating storylines - temporal or causal ordering of events - linguistics resources for storylines - big data as a source for storylines - evaluation of storylines - discourse structure and storylines - visualisation of storylines - detecting facts and speculations - dynamic event modeling ============= Submissions ============= This call solicits full papers reporting original and unpublished research on storylines from news. Full papers should emphasize obtained results rather than intended work, and should indicate clearly the state of completion of the reported results. Submission should not exceed a maximum 8 pages plus two additional pages containing references. Authors are also invited to submit short papers not exceeding 4 pages (plus two additional pages for references). Short papers should describe: - a small, focused contribution; - work in progress; - a negative result; - a position paper. The reviewing process will be blind and papers should not include the authors' names and affiliations. Each submission will be reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. If you do include any author names on the title page, your submission will be automatically rejected. In the body of your submission, you should eliminate all direct references to your own previous work. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and available at the ACL Anthology. Multiple Submission Policy Papers that have been or will be submitted to other meetings or publications are acceptable, but authors must indicate this information at submission time. If accepted, authors must notify the organizers as to whether the paper will be presented at the workshop or elsewhere. Submissions must be in PDF format and formatted following the official ACL 2015 submission styles available at http://acl2015.org/call_for_papers.html Contributions should be submitted in PDF via the submission site ( https://www.softconf.com/acl2015/CNewS/) ============ Shared Data ============ We encourage participants to re-use the SemEval 2015 Task 4: Timelines dataset (http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2015/task4/index.php?id=data-and-tools) to provide their own annotations, interpretations, and system results. The data will be collected before the workshop and summarized to facilitate an insightful comparison.

Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for proposals for the 2015 ADE STS joint conference is coming up in a couple of weeks. Please see the CFP below. - - - - - - - - - - - Call for Papers - the Joint Conference of the Society for Textual Scholarship and the Association for Documentary Editing CONVERGENCES AND DIVERGENCES University of Nebraska-Lincoln, June 17-20, 2015 Program Organizers: Andrew Jewell, Amanda Gailey, Elizabeth Lorang, Kenneth M. Price Deadline for Proposals: January 30, 2015 Keynote Speaker: Jerome McGann The Society for Textual Scholarship and Association for Documentary Editing announce a historic joint conference of the two organizations to be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, an international hub for digital editing. Home to the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities and numerous print and digital editing projects, UNL is located in the capital of Nebraska and offers opportunities for exploring the history and geography of the Great Plains. This special joint conference will bring together two organizations with a history and future of interests in studying and editing literary and historical materials. We invite proposals on any aspect of documentary editing and textual scholarship, including (but not restricted to) the discovery, editing, annotation, analysis, teaching, and publication of texts from many disciplines, including history, literature, classics, musicology, philosophy, paleography, codicology, linguistics, art history, the history of science, library and information science, film studies, gender and sexuality studies, ethnic studies, and more. We invite proposals from students. Because this is a unique joint meeting of the two organizations, we are especially interested in submissions on the theme of convergences and divergences--papers that examine how different editorial theories and methodologies at times intersect and at others veer apart. What are the histories and possible futures of the two related but distinct editorial traditions of ADE and STS? We see this conference as an opportunity for reflection about editorial traditions and the prospects for textual studies and encourage proposals that explore these topics. Submissions may take the following forms: 1. Papers. Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length, making a significant original contribution to scholarship. 2. Panels. Panels may consist of either three associated papers or four to six roundtable speakers. Roundtables should address topics of broad interest and scope, with the goal of fostering lively debate with audience participation. 3. Posters. Posters showcase projects or present focused topics in a setting that features personal interaction and informal conversation. Posters on works-in-progress are encouraged. To propose a paper, panel, or poster, send an abstract of no more than 500 words to the program committee via the form available at http://go.unl.edu/e8x8 no later than January 30, 2015. The proposal should clearly indicate the format and whether technological support will be required. Please include the name, email address, and institutional affiliations for all participants. Opportunity for New Editors: Institute for Editing Historical Documents With funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the ADE offers an additional opportunity in Lincoln in conjunction with the conference: the Institute for Editing Historical Documents, to be held June 13-17 for individuals new to the practice of historical documentary editing. Experienced documentary editors provide instruction in the principles of their field and insight into the realities of their work. For more information, contact Bob Karachuk, Education Director, Association for Documentary Editing, at ade-educationdir@documentaryediting.org. --[5]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2015 21:17:23 -0500 From: "James O'Sullivan" Subject: FINAL CFP for Colloquium This is a reminder that the final call for DHSI Colloquium submissions is this Friday, Jan 16th.

Bernard Stiegler Lecture: What is the Anthropocene? Or, neganthropology as a new critique of philosophical and scientific anthropology (Chair: Gerald Moore) Monday, 19 January, 18.00 for 18.15-20.00 Room ER 140, Elvet Riverside 1 Over the course of the 19th century, anthropology became scientific. Following the appearance of enquiries concerning the human, from Hume as well as Rousseau, and the philosophical questioning of anthropology, notably by Kant, a positive anthropology appeared founded on palaeontology and archaeology, and also, in France, on Auguste Comte’s positivist philosophy, which was particularly important for Durkheim. Nevertheless, the scientific method for defining the human or describing its ‘natural history’, so to speak, was reproduced without a care for the specifically technical conditions that made the emergence of human life possible. As Georges Canguilhem argued, the human is a technical form of life, which is to say, one that emerges only through tool-use. In France, André Leroi-Gourhan claimed that the emergence of the human was based on a process of technical exteriorisation of life into artefacts. But this has been denied by all kinds of anthropologists, from Levi-Strauss to contemporary American specialists in palaeoanthropology. This denial is the reason for which we must now move from questions of anthropology to questions of what I term neganthropology, which pertains to our use of tools to construct artificial, external and internal milieu whose function is to stave of entropy. 2. Bernard Stiegler (Chair: Gerald Moore) Workshop: The Anthropocene and the crisis of the human Tuesday, 20 January, 16.00 for 18.00 IAS Seminar Room, Cosin’s Hall, Palace Green Thinking around the Anthropocene routinely focuses on the ways in which humans’ technological transformation of the environment has brought about a catastrophic disequilibrium in the self-regulating system that constitutes the planet’s climate, which will have dramatic consequences for our survival (Lovelock). Stiegler’s contribution to this debate has focused on the way in which this envisaged demise has been preceded and exacerbated by our spiritual demise, via a consumerist relationship with technology that has left us demotivated and short-termist, clinging to technological messiahs, at the very moment when we need to be making long-term sacrifices for the sake of the future. His argument resonates strongly with Susan Greenfield’s recent Mind Change: How digital technologies are leaving their mark on our brains (2014), which suggests that our current attitudes to screen media are jeopardising the complexity of consciousness that we identify with human thought. This seminar will discuss pre-circulated work by Greenfield and Stiegler, beginning with an introductory presentation by Gerald Moore. 3. Katherine Hayles and Bernard Stiegler (Chair: Claire Warwick) Debate – Digital Studies: The emergence of a paradigm for the humanities Tuesday, 20 January, 19.00-21.00 Debating Chamber, Palace Green Bernard Stiegler and Katherine Hayles are two pioneers of the idea that the humanities, and the university in general, must be reinvented around the study of technology. They have nonetheless been critical of one another’s work, being notably split over the question of the extent to which the digital age has brought about a fundamental reorganisation of both culture and the brain. Stiegler is more sceptical, voicing deep anxiety over the relationship between technologies of consumerism and society’s increasing short-termism and lack of attention, though Hayles is wary of generalising these conclusions. This debate will aim to home in on their points of divergence, while also setting out the stakes of a paradigm-shift that has dramatic consequences for the future of the university.

In the pre-digital world, publishers and editors normally collaborated: the editors would produce the edition, following the guidelines provided by the publishing house, which for its part would take care of marketing and distribution, as well as essential scholarly services such as peer review. Digital scholarly editions, on the other hand, tend to be self-published by scholars within their own universities, most often without any connection with a publishing house – an arrangement which is hardly sustainable, for various reasons, and often not available to younger researchers producing their first editions and without access to suitable funding. At the same time, publishers are increasingly engaging with the digital, in particular in connection with tablet distribution. But the majority of such eBooks are generally not up to the standards expected by the scholarly community: in many ePubs, for instance, basic features such as footnotes are a luxury – to say nothing of a proper critical apparatus. How can be we best address these issues, to the mutual benefit of all involved parties – editors, publishers and the scholarly public?

The digitization of artifacts and literary practices, the adoption of computational methods for aggregating, editing and analyzing texts as well as the development of collaborative forms of research and teaching through networking and communication platforms are three dimensions of the ongoing relocation of literature and literary studies in the digital medium. The aim of this two-day conference is to contribute to the mapping of material practices and interpretative processes of literary studies in a changing media ecology. We invite researchers to submit papers and posters on projects concerned with the digital reinvention of literary studies. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - computational literary analysis (macro analysis, data mining, distant reading, topic modelling; visualization, corpora); - digital philology (electronic editions and archives, textual databases); - computational literary creation (automatic generation of text, textual instruments, kinetic texts, locative narrative, etc.); - the teaching of literature in a digital context; - peer review and open access (new practices of collaboration, dissemination, transfer and validation of knowledge production). The ‘Digital Literary Studies’ conference will take place at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra on May 14-15, 2015. Paper and poster proposals should be submitted by *January 31, 2015* through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eld2015). We also welcome panel proposals (three presenters per panel). All paper proposals must be between 1500 and 2000 words (including references). Authors should provide name, contact details, and institutional affiliation, as well as title, abstract, and keywords for their paper. Authors will be notified of the peer review results by February 15, 2015. Proposals can use any of the following languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. Selected articles resulting from the conference papers will be published in a special issue of the journal MATLIT (http://iduc.uc.pt/matlit).

Here are some of my favorite resources for learning Vim: * http://www.openvim.com/ - an interactive web tutorial * http://vim-adventures.com/ - a Vim tutorial game. The first couple of chapters are free, and then the rest are paid. * vimtutor - if you're running Linux or MacOS, you already have this installed. Just open a terminal and type "vimtutor." I'd also recommend reading Dennis Tenen's article about plain text authorship using Markdown and Pandoc: http://programminghistorian.org/lessons/sustainable-authorship-in-plain-text-using-pandoc-and-markdown All of these programs (vim, markdown, pandoc) are free and open-source. I'd be happy to talk to you about this further, if you like.

Demos should interest the broad VR community and be presentable in a conference setting. Accepted research demonstrations will be invited to participate in an exhibition of new and innovative work. The conference will provide basic infrastructure for the demos (space, a table, and power). In addition, authors of accepted demonstrations will have a time slot in the fast-forward Research Demonstration Session to communicate more general information about the specific demo and other work being performed at the lab. A submission proposal should include: * A one-page description of the demo. * A one-page description of the research lab itself. * A schematic of the layout (showing components such as projectors/cameras) * A brief video showing the demo in action (URL to be included in the proposal – youtube or vimeo preferred, raw footage acceptable). The submission should clearly describe the overall architecture of the system or technology demonstrated. Authors should put great emphasis on the motivation of the work, on the applications, and on its novelty. The description should also provide information about how the audience can interact with the demo system. If the demo is accepted, the proposal will be included in the proceedings, and as such, the description should be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society format described at http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html. Demos are expected to be up and running during lunch breaks. If possible it would be highly appreciated if they could run at other times like coffee breaks, but that is not required for acceptance. Proposals for research demonstrations must be submitted via email to the Research Demonstration Chairs. For more information, to inquire about a particular research demo idea, or to submit a proposal, please contact the Research Demonstration Chairs (researchdemoschairs [at] ieeevr.org http://ieeevr.org ). Researchers are encouraged to contact the chairs to discuss their potential demonstration. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 23:53:46 +0000 From: John Quarles Subject: IEEE VR 2015 - Open calls - Doctoral Consortium - Research Demos - Student Volunteers IEEE Virtual Reality 2015* March 23-27, 2015 Arles, Camargue - Provence - France http://ieeevr.org/2015 It's still time to contribute / participate / help Open Calls: Doctoral Consortium - Research Demos - Student Volunteers *Important Dates* Doctoral Consortium - Submission Deadline January 21, 2015 Research Demos - Submission Deadline January 19, 2015 Student Volunteers - Deadline for Application January 19, 2015 For more details, see http://ieeevr.org/2015 --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 17:20:11 +0000 From: "Bradley, John" Subject: Digital Humanities Seminars: King's College London: Winter Term.

Price Deadline for Proposals: January 30, 2015 Keynote Speaker: Jerome McGann The Society for Textual Scholarship and Association for Documentary Editing announce a historic joint conference of the two organizations to be held at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, an international hub for digital editing. Home to the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities and numerous print and digital editing projects, UNL is located in the capital of Nebraska and offers opportunities for exploring the history and geography of the Great Plains. This special joint conference will bring together two organizations with a history and future of interests in studying and editing literary and historical materials. We invite proposals on any aspect of documentary editing and textual scholarship, including (but not restricted to) the discovery, editing, annotation, analysis, teaching, and publication of texts from many disciplines, including history, literature, classics, musicology, philosophy, paleography, codicology, linguistics, art history, the history of science, library and information science, film studies, gender and sexuality studies, ethnic studies, and more. We invite proposals from students. Because this is a unique joint meeting of the two organizations, we are especially interested in submissions on the theme of convergences and divergences—papers that examine how different editorial theories and methodologies at times intersect and at others veer apart. What are the histories and possible futures of the two related but distinct editorial traditions of ADE and STS? We see this conference as an opportunity for reflection about editorial traditions and the prospects for textual studies and encourage proposals that explore these topics. Submissions may take the following forms: 1. Papers. Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length, making a significant original contribution to scholarship. 2. Panels. Panels may consist of either three associated papers or four to six roundtable speakers. Roundtables should address topics of broad interest and scope, with the goal of fostering lively debate with audience participation. 3. Posters. Posters showcase projects or present focused topics in a setting that features personal interaction and informal conversation. Posters on works-in-progress are encouraged. To propose a paper, panel, or poster, send an abstract of no more than 500 words to the program committee via the form available at http://go.unl.edu/e8x8 no later than January 30, 2015. The proposal should clearly indicate the format and whether technological support will be required. Please include the name, email address, and institutional affiliations for all participants. Opportunity for New Editors: Institute for Editing Historical Documents With funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the ADE offers an additional opportunity in Lincoln in conjunction with the conference: the Institute for Editing Historical Documents, to be held June 13-17 for individuals new to the practice of historical documentary editing.

Here are some of my favorite resources for learning Vim: * http://www.openvim.com/ - an interactive web tutorial * http://vim-adventures.com/ - a Vim tutorial game. The first couple of chapters are free, and then the rest are paid. * vimtutor - if you're running Linux or MacOS, you already have this installed. Just open a terminal and type "vimtutor." I'd also recommend reading Dennis Tenen's article about plain text authorship using Markdown and Pandoc: http://programminghistorian.org/lessons/sustainable-authorship-in-plain-text-using-pandoc-and-markdown All of these programs (vim, markdown, pandoc) are free and open-source. I'd be happy to talk to you about this further, if you like.

I’m delighted to be on the supervisory team. Melissa Terras ----- SEAHA Studentship: Hyperspectral imaging for heritage: From books to bricks This interdisciplinary project will explore the practical use of Hyperspectral Imaging, once a niche technique used by astrophysicists, in the field of heritage science. Hyperspectral imaging is now being applied to a wide range of applications, e.g. food science, video systems, remote sensing, medical and materials science but is also becoming increasingly applied within the heritage sector. The University of Oxford has recently invested in advanced hyperspectral imaging equipment to be housed in the Bodleian Library. The aim of this project will be to evaluate the use of this technique across the heritage resources of the University (including library books and papers, museum objects, and Oxford’s architectural and archaeological heritage). This is an exciting project for candidates looking to build knowledge and skills in material science, spectroscopic techniques, product development (equipment and technique), and the use of non-standard software for visualising and interpreting hyperspectral data. The successful candidate will have a first or upper-second degree in engineering, material science, conservation science, chemistry, physics (or related aspects of science and/or engineering), and a keen interest in cultural heritage. Candidates with proven experience in the use of imaging in other fields may also be considered from disciplines such as geography, environment sciences, or astrophysics. This challenging interdisciplinary project will enable you to seek employment in any number of multidisciplinary environments: from academia to industry. If you would like to discuss your suitability for this studentship, please contact David Howell David.Howell@bodleain.ox.ac.uk who will be the heritage supervisor. The following concrete research questions are of interest: 1. How can hyperspectral imaging be best applied to extract information from manuscripts within the Bodleian Library and other collections? 2. What are the best protocols and procedures to reveal hidden text and map materials and pigments on such manuscripts and what are the optimum ways of presenting the information? 3. How can hyperspectral imaging be best applied to provide information from archaeological and architectural heritage materials within the University of Oxford? 4. What are the best protocols and procedures to reveal hidden relief details, the presence and nature of biological/organic growth on and within materials, and signs of change and deterioration? The project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology at University College London, University of Oxford and University of Brighton (www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk), in collaboration with the Bodleian Libraries (www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk) and Headwall Photonics (http://www.headwallphotonics.com/). Funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) through the Centre for Doctoral Training and co-funded by The University of Oxford Fell fund, the four year doctoral research programme will be supervised jointly by The University of Oxford School of Geography and the environment (http://www.geog.ox.ac.uk/), The Bodleian Libraries, (www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk), Headwall Photonics (http://www.headwallphotonics.com/), and UCL Centre for Digital Humanities (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dh). For further details contact David Howell David.Howell@bodleain.ox.ac.uk who will be the heritage supervisor. The academic supervisory team will consist of Prof Heather Viles (Oxford) and Prof Melissa Terras (UCL). As a SEAHA student, you will have unparalleled access to research infrastructure and expertise across three universities and almost 50 research, heritage and industrial partners. In addition to the university doctoral training requirements, SEAHA students take part in an exciting range of cohort activities, ranging from residential events and group projects, to conferences and careers events. Please visit the SEAHA website (www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk) for details. The SEAHA Studentship will cover home fees and a stipend of up to a maximum of £16,726 per year (current rate) for eligible applicants (http://www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk/opportunities/eligibility-criteria/), and a substantial budget for research, travel, and cohort activities. The application should include: -A covering letter clearly stating your motivation -The UCL graduate application form which can be downloaded via UCL's web site: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/apply/apply-now/ucl-graduate-application-form.pdf -Two academic references -A copy of your degree certificate(s) and transcript(s) of degree(s), -Proof of meeting the UCL English language proficiency requirements where necessary. For SEAHA candidates, an advanced level certificate is normally required (details of English language proficiency requirements can be found at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/prospective-students/graduate/apply/english-language/index) -A short research proposal (max. 2000 words) written by taking into consideration the above research questions. The award will be subject to Grant Agreement between The University of Oxford, UCL, and Headwall Photonics. The applications should not be submitted by UCL online admissions system. Instead, they should be sent directly to: SEAHA Manager manager@seaha-cdt.ac.uk UCL Centre for Sustainable Heritage Faculty of the Built Environment UCL 14 Upper Woburn Place London WC1E 0NN This information is available online at http://www.seaha-cdt.ac.uk/opportunities/, where there are also other fully funded doctoral studentships in Heritage Science advertised.

Submission deadline. March 6, 2015. Notification of acceptance. March 30, 2015. Final Versions Due. May 26- May 28, 2015. Workshop in Atlanta, Georgia. May 29-31, 2015. ACS 2015. --WORKSHOP AIMS-- Narrative provides a framing structure for understanding, communicating, influencing, and organizing human experience. Systems for its analysis and production are increasingly found embedded in devices and processes, influencing decision-making in venues as diverse as politics, economics, intelligence, and cultural production. In order to appreciate this influence, it is becoming increasingly clear that research must address the technical implementation of narrative systems, the theoretical bases of these frameworks, and our general understanding of narrative at multiple levels: from the psychological and cognitive impact of narratives to our ability to model narrative responses computationally. Special Focus: Cognitive Systems This inter-disciplinary workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Papers should be relevant to issues fundamental to the computational modeling and scientific understanding of narrative. The workshop will have a special focus on the building cognitive systems that are distinguished by a focus on high-level cognition and decision making, reliance on rich, structured representations, a systems-level perspective, use of heuristics to handle complexity, and incorporation of insights about human thinking, meaning we especially welcome papers relevant to the cognitive aspects of narrative. Regardless of its topic, reported work should provide some sort of insight of use to computational modeling of narratives. Discussing technological applications or motivations is not prohibited, but is not required. We accept both finished research and more tentative exploratory work. --INVITED SPEAKER-- Janet H. Murray, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA --ILLUSTRATIVE TOPICS AND QUESTIONS-- - How is narrative knowledge captured and represented? - How are narratives indexed and retrieved? Is there a universal scheme for encoding episodic information? - How can we study narrative from a cognitive point of view? - Can narrative be subsumed by current models of higher-level cognition, or does it require new approaches? - How do narratives mediate our cognitive experiences, or affect our cognitive abilities? - What comprises the set of possible narrative arcs? Is there such a set? How many possible story lines are there? - Is narrative structure universal, or are there systematic differences in narratives from different cultures? - What makes narrative different from a list of events or facts? - How do conceptions and models of spatiality or temporality influence narrative and cognitive systems? - What are the details of the relationship between narrative and common sense? - What shared resources are required for the computational study of narrative? What should a “Story Bank” contain? - What shared resources and tools are available, or how can already-extant resources be adapted to the study of narrative? - What are appropriate formal or computational representations for narrative? - How should we evaluate computational and formal models of narrative? - How can narrative systems be applied to problem-solving? - What aspects of cross-linguistic work has narrative research neglected? --TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS-- - Long Papers (up to 16 pages, plus up to 2 pages of references) - Short Papers (up to 8 pages, plus up to 2 pages of references) - Position Papers (up to 4 pages, plus up to 1 page of references) --SUBMISSION INFORMATION-- CMN 2015 papers may be submitted in either of two formats: - LaTeX Papers should be prepared using the standard OASIcs template, using A4 paper: http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors.tgz - Word Paper should be prepared using the the CMN template: http://narrative.csail.mit.edu/cmn14/oasics-cmn2014-word-template_v1.docx Important: Papers may be submitted in MS Word format only for review.

The integration across this LOD Cloud, however, is hampered by the ‘publish first, refine later’ philosophy. This is due to various quality problems existing in the published data such as incompleteness, inconsistency, incomprehensibility, etc. These problems affect every application domain, be it scientific (e.g., life science, environment), governmental, or industrial applications. We see linked datasets originating from crowdsourced content like Wikipedia and OpenStreetMap such as DBpedia and LinkedGeoData and also from highly curated sources e.g. from the library domain. Quality is defined as “fitness for use”, thus DBpedia currently can be appropriate for a simple end-user application but could never be used in the medical domain for treatment decisions. However, quality is a key to the success of the data web and a major barrier for further industry adoption. Despite the quality in Linked Data being an essential concept, few efforts are currently available to standardize how data quality tracking and assurance should be implemented. Particularly in Linked Data, ensuring data quality is a challenge as it involves a set of autonomously evolving data sources. Additionally, detecting the quality of datasets available and making the information explicit is yet another challenge. This includes the (semi-)automatic identification of problems. Moreover, none of the current approaches uses the assessment to ultimately improve the quality of the underlying dataset. The goal of the Workshop on Linked Data Quality is to raise the awareness of quality issues in Linked Data and to promote approaches to assess, monitor, maintain and improve Linked Data quality. The workshop topics include, but are not limited to: * Concepts * - Quality modeling vocabularies * Quality assessment * - Methodologies * - Frameworks for quality testing and evaluation * - Inconsistency detection * - Tools/Data validators * Quality improvement * - Refinement techniques for Linked Datasets * - Linked Data cleansing * - Error correction * - Tools * Quality of ontologies * Reputation and trustworthiness of web resources * Best practices for Linked Data management * User experience, empirical studies Submission guidelines We seek novel technical research papers in the context of Linked Data Quality with a length of up to 8 pages (long) and 4 pages (short) papers. Papers should be submitted in PDF format. Other supplementary formats (e.g. html) are also accepted but a pdf version is required. Paper submissions must be formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). Please submit your paper via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ldq2015. Submissions that do not comply with the formatting of LNCS or that exceed the page limit will be rejected without review. We note that the author list does not need to be anonymized, as we do not have a double-blind review process in place. Submissions will be peer reviewed by three independent reviewers. Accepted papers have to be presented at the workshop. Important Dates All deadlines are, unless otherwise stated, at 23:59 Hawaii time. * Submission of research papers: March 6, 2015 * Notification of paper acceptance: April 3, 2015 * Submission of camera-ready papers: April 17, 2015 * Workshop date: May 31 or June 1, 2015 (half-day) [...] More details can be found on the workshop website: http://ldq.semanticmultimedia.org/ --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2015 14:25:39 -0500 From: "James O'Sullivan" Subject: Weekend extension to DHSI CFP Following a number of requests, the deadline for submitting to the DHSI Colloquium has been extended through the weekend.

We are pleased to announce our keynote speaker is Dr. Carl Blyth from UT Austin. Dr. Blyth is an applied linguist currently working on projects involving interactional sociolinguistics, pragmatics, and technology. Please submit abstracts to VanderbiltGSMLA@gmail.com by Monday, January 26, 2015. The title of the conference problematizes Scott Prensky’s 2001 terms “digital native” and “digital immigrant.” Although these terms attempt to explain the generational gap and its technological divide, our conference looks to the ways in which the reality of technology in the language classroom and in our research defies such classifications. As graduate students, “born after 1980,” according to Prensky’s definition we are classified as “digital natives,” yet we are still learning how to effectively use technology in the language classroom - not only as learners, but increasingly as language teachers. How do we learn best? In what ways do we rely on technology to learn language? What do we define as “successes” in regards to Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) implementation in the language classroom? Alternatively, how has technology enhanced our research? How do we use Digital Humanities (DH) and how are these tools changing? Are the Humanities becoming more interdisciplinary because of DH? We are not only interested in papers exploring CALL and the different “digital accents” in today’s foreign language classroom, but also looking closely at the evolution and future direction of DH as a separate field. Our hope is that the key differences between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants” -- as well as the in-betweens -- materialize and are problematized during this one-day conference. We endeavor to bring together a group of graduate students interested in CALL and DH who are using technology in innovative ways in the language classroom, in scholarly research, and beyond. Potential Areas of Inquiry include: - Digital Humanities and the arts - Digital Humanities in dissertations - Digital Humanities and pedagogy - Digital Humanities and race - Digital Humanities and disability - Digital Humanities and gender studies - Digital Humanities as multicultural and multilingual - Applying specific instructional models in CALL - MOOCS and other open online courses for language learning - Outcome based frameworks in CALL design - Gaming and virtual worlds - Online Intercultural Exchanges - CMC and OCMC in the language classroom - Specific CALL tools and their implementation in the classroom - CALL project designs (and evaluation) - The direction of Digital Humanities as a field - Crowdsourcing scholarly research We will consider proposals in English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. Proposals should be sent to VanderbiltGSMLA@gmail.com with an abstract of 250-350 words and a separate title page that includes name, email, phone and university affiliation.

Blood spilled over a comma, a line-ending and the like. I am reminded of this by the Vim/Emacs dispute. What is the quality of something, to outsiders so utterly a matter of indifference, that leads to such ferocious conflict? Is it the imbalance of belief to reason? Does fanaticism develop in the absence of cool evidence for a belief? And then there's the question of the opposite, when evidence is so complete that it argues for itself, requiring no belief. Chilling indeed. Where else in computing do we find long-standing flame wars?

Willard, I’ll take the bait. Back in the “good old days” there were extensive Mac vs PC debates/conflicts in the States. I started on a PC (well, for “big time computing”—my first computer was a Commodore 64 hooked up to a TV with a daisy-wheel typewriter for a printer; were those the days—there is more to say, but I digress). I was content (I new nothing better….. :-) ) When I started a project that required handling multiple languages (“Medieval France: An Encyclopedia”), one of the computer support people suggested “Apple” so I moved over to the “other side” (The person also suggested “Nisus” as a word processor; still like it a lot, but use Word). I’ve never particularly looked back. There were really heated debates on list-serves. I just kept on typing on my Macintosh whatever (including a PowerBook 100 which I still have). I still like to joke with my PC using friends on occasion that Apple products are “plug and play”—I don’t mention some frustrated hours that I’ve had with non-plug and play. Oberlin has always had a network and laboratory situation with both Macs and PCs. Still have both in the Academic Commons in the library; pick your prejudice ;-) . Those debates were between committed “believers” on each side; logic was impossible — unless of course it was your logic. For a glimpse at some zany (and otherwise) examples of pc/mac “war” go to pcmacwars.com—for fun see “Rap Battle: ‘Beat box’ Gates vs. ’Sinsita’ Jobs” (animated) There are recent interviews etc etc. So it still happens! (many humanists probably found that site long before I did) A somewhat similar example: A number of years ago strife (verbal, but strong) between “professional scholars” and “amateurs” who often asked rather simple/simple-minded (but often sincere) questions became so frequent and strong that the moderator(s) shut down the listserv (announced at the Kalamazoo medieval congress). The listserv was resurrected fairly soon after that but with more “controls” I believe. I no longer follow it—it was medieval but not my area, except tangentially. (I do recall that some “amateur’ questions were from people who wanted some thinking done for them—like for undergraduate papers, bibliog., etc.; but others were from people very interested in the middle ages but not academics. Indeed, one of the medieval lists has more than a few non-academics who post questions, ask for advice for scenes in novels they are writing, etc etc). Well, that is far too much rambling on, but I _was_ invited to respond, wasn’t I? :-) (The Emacs/Vi cartoon on the TEI site is too good!) All best regards, Grover Grover A. Zinn, Jr. William H.

Computers allow for the processing of digital data much faster than humans can do, they are able to show patterns and statistical analyses and can detect links that otherwise would be hard to find. This workshop explores whether and how, in the field of digital humanities, biographical data are special. Biographies are interesting for analysis with computer techniques, since individuals share a set of common characteristics that can be relatively easily identified by a machine, such as a birthdate, a partner, a profession, and a network. Tools and approaches from the digital humanities can be used for both quantitative analyses of such data and for providing leads for more qualitative research questions. This workshop aims at bringing together researchers from both the humanities and the computer sciences to exchange experiences, methods and practices with respect to ICT mediated quantitative and qualitative analysis of biographical data. What can we do already with computational methods with the huge amount of digital biographical data that is available? What will we be able to do in the future? What will we not be able to do? We invite papers/abstracts with a maximum of 2.500 words (excluding bibliography and footnotes), which will undergo a single blind peer review process. After acceptance papers can be extended to 6.000 words. Accepted papers will be published in online workshop proceedings at CEUR, June 2015. Topics which may be addressed include, but certainly are not limited to: 1) Mining biographies for structured information 2) Biographies and linked data 3) Using biographical information for quantitative analyses 4) The canonization of people and events in history 5) The use or uselessness of big data for biographical research 6) Visualizing biographical data 7) Biographical Dictionaries 8) Dealing with biographical data in heterogeneous datasets 9) Practices in digitizing and converting biographical data to a software interpretable format 10) Automatic biography generation 11) Biographies across countries and cultures 12) Standards, vocabularies and best practices for the encoding and processing of biographical data Important Dates Deadline for the paper submission: 31 January, 2015. Notification of acceptance: 1 March, 2015 Workshop date: 9 April, 2015 Deadline final papers: 15 May, 2015 More information can be found here.

Monday 26 January Dr Kyle Roberts (Loyala University Chicago) will talk about ways of combining teaching, DH, and public engagement in ‘Digital Pedagogies and Public Historians: A View from the States’ Kyle is Assistant Professor of Public History and New Media and directs both the Jesuit Libraries Project, an initiative to recreate Loyola's first library catalogue in a virtual library system, and the Jesuit Libraries Provenance Project, a virtual archive documenting the history of acquisition and use of Loyola's original library books. His forthcoming book, 'Evangelical Gotham', uses a broad range of source material and cutting-edge digital technologies to understand the urban religion of antebellum Evangelicals. He will discuss his experiences of teaching undergraduate and postgraduate modules in digital methods which produce publicly-available resources. Monday 10 March Danny Millum of the Institute for Historical Research and James Baker of the British Library will debate the topic ‘Digital Disruptions' Both promise to be lively sessions - please do come along and join in the discussions. The seminar takes place in the ArtsTwo SCR, QMUL Mile End Campus, 5.30 - 7pm. Follow this link for further information about the location. best wishes Tessa _______________________________ Dr Tessa Whitehouse Lecturer in Eighteenth-Century Literature School of English and Drama Queen Mary, University of London London E1 4HG _______________________________ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 2BD71BC3; Mon, 19 Jan 2015 07:05:23 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 690DCA41; Mon, 19 Jan 2015 07:05:22 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D5C8FA41; Mon, 19 Jan 2015 07:05:19 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150119060519.D5C8FA41@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2015 07:05:19 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.656 a (the) text-editor for humanists X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150119060522.4320.68612@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 656.

I was always intrigued by the plausibility of the arguments put forth at e.g. http://lists.apple.com/archives/student-dev/2002/Apr/msg00308.html where it is alleged that Macintosh computers are the work of the devil. It seems ludicrous until you read the arguments: 1) the company logo is the image of the apple with which the Devil tempted Eve; 2) MacOSX is based on BSD, whose logo is a satanic demon; 3) the first Apple computer sold for 666 dollars; 4) The OSX operating system is called Darwin - the man who promoted evolution against the teachings of the bible; 5) the followers of Apple are urged to "think different" - but from what? Obviously from the teachings of Christianity, etc. I always took these associations to be a deliberate attempt by Apple founders to align themselves with the dark side of computing, with the anti-establishment. Jocular associations perhaps, but still undeniable.

For a very long time, vi / Vim and Emacs were the two 'market leaders', such that they were always primarily compared to each other 2. Because vi and Emacs were first created long before consensus had formed on the desirable characteristics of an editor, there are quite fundamental design differences between them (far more fundamental than those existing between the text editors people are more likely to learn to use today) 3. They both have a very steep learning curve, such that, by the time you're able to do anything significant in either of them, you're likely to have internalised the implicit logic behind the design decisions that distinguish it from its rival, with the result that the latter comes to seem not just different but wrong As to where else such flamewars occur, I think you can find some of the most directly comparable in disputes between users of programming languages that are perceived as pairs of rivals, e.g. Python / Ruby and (back in the day) Scheme / Common Lisp. best Daniel Dr Daniel Allington Lecturer in English Language Studies Centre for Language and Communication The Open University www.danielallington.net http://www.danielallington.net _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1690AC21; Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:24:07 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7BF05BEC; Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:24:06 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2B8D6BEC; Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:24:04 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150120062404.2B8D6BEC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 07:24:04 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.659 jobs: postdoc at REED; on a tenure-track job at Tufts X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150120062406.1072.25884@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 659.

Since the demonstrations against Islamification in Germany became prominent in Dresden and now have cropped up at Leipzig, my German home, I thought about the connection between the two. This position can do a lot more now if it properly exploits digital media and helps to change the public understanding of what we in Europe and North America already owe to the achievements of Islamic culture.

July 30 2015 Beijing China https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2015/ ****************************************************************** ** About the Workshop ** The 9th SIGHUM Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities will be held in conjunction with ACL-IJCNLP 2015 which will take place in Beijing, China, July 30. The LaTeCH workshop series aims to provide a forum for researchers who are working on developing novel information technology for improved information access to data from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage. Since the formation of SIGHUM (ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities), the LaTeCH workshop is also the venue for the SIGHUM annual research and business meeting. The workshop is a continuation of LaTeCH 2007 held at ACL, in Prague, Czech Republic, LaTeCH 2008 at LREC, in Marrakech, Morocco, LaTeCH 2009 at EACL, in Athens, Greece, LaTeCH 2010 at ECAI, in Lisbon, Portugal, LaTeCH 2011 at ACL/HLT, in Portland, Oregon, USA, LaTeCH 2012 at EACL, in Avignon, France, LaTeCH 2013 at ACL, in Sofia, Bulgaria and LaTeCH 2014 at EACL in Gothenburg, Sweden. ** Scope and Topics ** The LaTeCH workshop series aims to provide a forum for researchers who are working on developing language technologies for the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage. It is endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities (SIGHUM). In the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage communities there is increasing interest in and demand for NLP methods for semantic annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning, and visualization of both primary and secondary data, which holds even for collections that are primarily non-textual, as text is also the pervasive medium used for metadata. These domains of application entail new challenges for NLP research, such as noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, multilingual parts within one document, lack of digital semantic resources, or resource-intensive approaches that call for (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or, as a last resort, intense manual effort. Digital libraries still lack tools for content analysis; documents are linked mostly through metadata, and deep semantic annotation is missing. For this reason, it is of mutual benefit that NLP experts, data specialists, and digital humanities researchers working in and across these domains get involved in the Computational Linguistics community and present their fundamental or applied research results. This edition of the LaTeCH workshop is looking for, but not limited to, contributions from the following topics: - Adapting NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities domains - Dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language - Linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains - Modelling of information and knowledge - Automatic creation of semantic resources - Automatic error detection and cleaning - Complex annotation tools and interfaces - Discourse and narrative analysis - Research infrastructure and standardisation efforts - Text mining and sentiment analysis - User modeling, recommendation, personalisation ** Information for authors ** Authors are invited to submit papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers presenting completed work, we also invite short papers and system descriptions (demos): - Long papers should present completed work and may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references. - Short papers/demos can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references. - All submissions are to use the ACL stylesheets (.sty, .bst, .dot) The reviewing process will be double-blind; the papers should not include the authors’ names and affiliations, or any references to web sites, project names, etc., revealing the authors’ identity. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author’s identity, should be avoided. Authors should not use anonymous citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the LaTeCH 2015 submission website.

By identifying ideas and discussions as they emerge, and by providing a platform through which conversations can unfold and be preserved, the series will highlight key tensions that are shaping the field. The series will have two major components: the *Debates in the Digital Humanities Annual*, which will highlight conversations that have influenced the field during a given year, and books on special topics that warrant more focused and extended discussion. New pieces will be published on both the open-access web platform and in print, ebook, and serial forms. We have recently issued CFPs for two upcoming collections that we hope you will consider: *Debates in the Digital Humanities 2015 (Abstract Deadline: 2/2/15)* Matthew K. Gold and Lauren F. Klein, Editors Debates in the Digital Humanities seeks to anthologize the best new work in the digital humanities (DH) each year. Full CFP: http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/cfps/cfp_2015_ddh *Making Humanities Matter (Abstract Deadline: 4/3/15)* Jentery Sayers, Editor This volume in the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series examines the arts and humanities in an age of programmable worlds and digital/analog convergence.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 10:04:32 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Joseph Raben A sad announcement. Our distinguished colleague, Roberto Busa Prize winner for 2010 and my old friend Joseph Raben died two days ago, on 18 January. In due course a proper obituary will appear in the New York Times, but it seems right for something more immediate and personal to be said here. Other stories are of course most welcome. I first met Joe in Chicago, 26 December 1985, when by chance we were thrown together in a room at the Drake Hotel. We had, it seems, both expressed preference to share a room with another person to save money. Those of you who know the Drake will gasp at the price each of us paid -- $25/night. The MLA had taken it over along with all the others within range. Days later, as we relatively shabby academics left, the usual guests of the Drake, unlike us looking like they belonged, were arriving. A woman dressed in a long black gown was playing O Tannenbaum on a gilded harp in the lobby, sitting in front of an enormous antique Chinese screen. It was my first MLA Convention, which I attended to be interviewed for a job that I did not get. I was dazzled, as many a young academic hopeful has been at the Meat Market (our name then for the Convention). But I had only a dim idea of who Joe was and hardly paid attention. I knew he was founding Editor of Computers and the Humanities (CHum) and a duly certified member of the academic establishment, so I was impressed and a bit in awe -- but for reasons that then and now were utterly inadequate and irrelevant to the man's real importance. The second time I encountered Joe was at the 1987 International Conference on Computers and the Humanities (ICCH) in Columbia, South Carolina, at a spontaneous meeting called by Michael Sperberg-McQueen, myself and a few other disgruntled souls eager to complain about being shut out because of our association with computing. Many turned up. To my surprise -- this was a meeting for outcasts! -- Joe was there. I think he was the only tenured person in the room. As you may know, the inspiration for Humanist happened at that meeting. The third time I happened to be in Florida so went to visit him in the retirement community where he briefly lived. But being such an energetic soul and a true New Yorker he didn't stay there long. He returned to New York and, it seems, kept on working (see, for example, his contribution to the New York Review of Books for 23 December 2010.) But when I visited him in Florida did I know whom I was visiting? Not really. It wasn't until years later, when I was working on a book, that I began to get a proper measure of Joe Raben as a result of reading sequentially through all issues of CHum in order to form an idea of the field from its history. When Joe started the journal in 1966 -- the first conference had taken place two years previously -- he lifted the lid on activities in computing going on across most if not all disciplines in the humanities in several corners of the world. But that was only the beginning. Reading on I discovered copious evidence of his quite amazing dedication to "computing and the humanities" (the first of several names for our discipline). It will be no surprise to anyone who knew him that for example when Jasia Reichardt held the Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition in London in 1968 Joe was there to check it out, to see what connections might be made, to see how the field might be strengthened. Humanist and everything else now happening in digital humanities owes Joseph Raben a great debt. I miss him.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2015 15:31:32 +0000 From: Richard Lewis Subject: Role of psychology in digital humanities In the field of digital musicology, there's quite a strong presence from music psychology. Some music psychologists are interested in the use of computers for modelling cognitive phenomena and make use of musical data sets. As a result, musicologist who, in the UK and North America at least, are generally placed quite firmly amongst the humanists and not the scientists, can encounter psychologists through digital humanities. Such encounters can result in a certain amount of friction as both have music somehwere amongst their subject matter, but treat it in very different ways. I'm wondering whether there's a general level at which humanities and psychology meet through digital humanities? From my (somewhat limited) experience, it seems that some humanities disciplines' subject matter (literature, history) don't seem to fall under the purview of psychologists, while others (visual arts) might. Can anyone describe any other instances of humanists and psychologists meeting through DH? Or is music unique in this regard?

The focus of SFCM are actual working systems for linguistically motivated morphological analysis and generation, computational frameworks for implementing such systems, and linguistic frameworks suitable for computational implementation. Applications of morphological systems, e.g., in natural language processing, linguistics, or digital humanities, are also relevant topics. From the point of view of computational linguistics, morphological resources form the basis for all higher-level applications. This is especially true for languages with a rich morphology like German, Finnish, Polish, or Latin. A morphology component should thus be capable of analyzing single wordforms as well as whole corpora. For many practical applications, not only morphological analysis, but also generation is required, i.e., the production of surfaces corresponding to specific categories. Apart from uses in computational linguistics, there are numerous practical applications that can benefit from morphological analysis and/or generation or even require it, for example in textual analysis, word processing, information retrieval, or dialog systems. These applications have specific requirements for morphological components, including requirements from software engineering, such as programming interfaces or robustness. We are in the process of arranging the publication of the proceedings with Springer-Verlag in their CCIS series (as for the previous editions of SFCM). SFCM is an activity of the SIG Generation and Parsing of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL). *Topics* The topics of this workshop include technical and linguistic aspects related to the development of systems and frameworks for computational morphology, applications and evaluation of such systems and frameworks, as well as interactions between computational morphology and formal, quantitative, and descriptive morphology. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Software frameworks for developing morphological components. - Open-source systems, tools, and resources for analyzing and generating word forms. - Linguistic frameworks for computational morphology. - Implementations of formal models of morphology for individual languages and language families, including historical languages and language variants. - Use of morphological analysis and generation in NLP applications. - Use of morphological systems in linguistic research, i.e., studies that address formal morphological issues with the help of computational methods, tools, and resources. - Use of morphological systems in digital humanities research. - Approaches for handling phenomena at the interface between morphology and neighboring levels of linguistic description, such as phonetics, morphophonology, and syntax. - Methods and criteria for evaluating morphological components with respect to performance, quality, and coverage. - Software engineering aspects: APIs, robustness, performance, hardware/software requirements, resource usage. - License models, versioning, and legal aspects. The workshop includes a demo session for presenting individual systems and resources and in-depth discussion. *Submissions* We invite researchers to submit full papers of up to 20 pages (including references) or short papers of up to 10 pages. Long papers constitute an excellent opportunity to publish citable, in-depth descriptions of systems and frameworks. Submissions must be in English. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind by the members of the program committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Papers submitted at review stage must not contain the authors' names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors' identity. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their research at the workshop as talk or as a poster. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 06:50:25 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: psychology Richard Lewis asks in Humanist 28.664 about the presence of psychology in digital humanities. I'd guess that experimental psychology would have a role in interface design, and that interface design would sometimes be a concern of digital humanities. Cognitive psychology would, I'd suppose, have much of value to say about the inner conflict of non-digital and digital reasoning processes, but has anyone written about this? The history of psychology isn't (but, I think, should be) recognized in digital humanities for its insights into memory and remembering, which could be of use in the design of "memory archives". Kurt Danziger's Marking the Mind comes to mind. And current work on memory in neuropsychology also, e.g. Edelman's. How many memory archives go beyond the equivalent of a family photograph album? All the definitional disputes that seem to have possessed digital humanities are a massive distraction. See Katherine Bode's and Paul Arthur's fine introduction, "Collecting Ourselves", to the new book Advancing Digital Humanities: Research, Methods, Theories (Palgrave, 2015), for incisive comments on this disciplinary tic. Much more important to my mind is addressing the connections, such as the one Richard Lewis asks about, or I should say, making those connections. Isn't that sine qua non for digital humanities?

The session will be held at the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) conference in Glasgow on 2-5 September 2015. We welcome papers from all time periods and places, as long as the focus lies on the use of network science in archaeology. The deadline for submissions is 16 February 2015. Please visit the EAA website for more information and to submit an abstract.  Network Science in Archaeology: Challenges and Opportunities  Despite pioneering applications in the 1960s and 70s, Network Science has only become more commonly applied within the Historical and Archaeological disciplines in the last decade. The success of initiatives such as The Connected Past or the Historical Network Research Conferences testify to this increasing popularity. However, many challenges remain, and many archaeologists and historians remain unconvinced by the formal application of network science for the study of past societies. Undoubtedly, a number of issues and difficulties are particular to archaeology and history: the inability to directly observe/interview past societies, the need to use textual and material sources as proxies of past phenomena, and the challenge of dealing with particularly incomplete datasets. In this session we aim to discuss these and other specific issues and difficulties of applying network science in archaeology and history, and learn from successful as well as failed experiments in order to collaboratively work towards solutions to these issues. We welcome contributions from any geographical areas and historical periods, which discuss and illustrate the opportunities and challenges offered by Network Science in Archaeology.

This conference provides an opportunity to explore the transformation our relation to books and physical archives in an increasingly digital age. Papers are invited that explore questions such as the following: · Are we interacting with textual material on the screen more than on the (manuscript or printed) page, and if so, how are our research practices changing? * Are our embodied and affective relationships to our objects of study shifting in a digital age? * Do digitized materials supplant our need to view the physical originals, or enhance the necessity of and desire for archival work? * Do digital surrogates of material texts highlight physical elements of texts that might otherwise pass unremarked? * What sources of knowledge and serendipitous discovery can be provided only in the physical archive? The digital archive? * Is there a developing consensus about best practices for digitizing and editing archival material? * Are there ways to create online reading interfaces that can more closely approximate the experience of reading physical materials? * Do women’s archival materials present unique challenges in their transformation to digital forms? * What new pedagogical opportunities do open-source and free digitized materials offer, and how are post-graduate students using them? We encourage papers that will engage in a vigorous debate about the merits and limitations of encountering texts and archives in material and digital forms. The conference is co-hosted by Chawton House Library and the University of Southampton Centre for Eighteenth-Century Studies (SCECS). Please send abstracts of 200-500 words to the attention of the conference organisers Gillian Dow and Michelle Levy, to Sandy White: sw17@soton.ac.uk. Proposals can be for 20-minute papers; for complete panels (of three papers); or for roundtables, featuring 4-6 speakers giving short (10 minute) presentations on a focused topic. The deadline for abstracts is the 30th of January 2015.

For anyone interested, a pre-proof of the introduction can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2loyjuogfmiv1yp/introduction%20031214.docx?dl=0 I'm interested in how contemporary Cognitive Science and (Post)phenomenology have offered tremendous insight into the role of human embodiment and our entanglement with our tools, and I try and bring those insights specifically to digital technologies such as e-reading which are typically seen as being somehow "disembodied." I did a TEDx talk on the importance of digital things becoming boring which is also a kind of gentle introduction to some of these ideas (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1GgBNYQQw8).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 06:50:25 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: psychology Richard Lewis asks in Humanist 28.664 about the presence of psychology in digital humanities. I'd guess that experimental psychology would have a role in interface design, and that interface design would sometimes be a concern of digital humanities. Cognitive psychology would, I'd suppose, have much of value to say about the inner conflict of non-digital and digital reasoning processes, but has anyone written about this? The history of psychology isn't (but, I think, should be) recognized in digital humanities for its insights into memory and remembering, which could be of use in the design of "memory archives". Kurt Danziger's Marking the Mind comes to mind. And current work on memory in neuropsychology also, e.g. Edelman's. How many memory archives go beyond the equivalent of a family photograph album? All the definitional disputes that seem to have possessed digital humanities are a massive distraction. See Katherine Bode's and Paul Arthur's fine introduction, "Collecting Ourselves", to the new book Advancing Digital Humanities: Research, Methods, Theories (Palgrave, 2015), for incisive comments on this disciplinary tic. Much more important to my mind is addressing the connections, such as the one Richard Lewis asks about, or I should say, making those connections. Isn't that sine qua non for digital humanities?

I am in the final year of a PhD in Digital Arts and Humanities, based in a School of Applied Psychology. I will admit, I am the only one of my kind on this program and at first, I did struggle with finding a place for my work within the Digital Humanities, as time passed however, that became less of an issue. To be very honest, that was more so to do with the reaction of the world of DH to my research than me forcing myself in. DH sits firmly upon the mantel of collaboration, and it is because of this that I feel that psychology does have a place within it. My own research deals with people suffering from dementia and trying to support communication between them and their caregivers. Memory, identity, narrative, music, photographs, all play a large role within this research and recently I have (with the help of a DH colleague) designed an android app that can support communication within this context. Aside from my own research, psychologists have vast experience and qualifications in both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. Their main interest is human behaviour (cognition, perception, learning, attention) and finding ways of understanding it in various contexts, these contexts largely of a digital nature in recent times. The world of DH is full of large data sets, visualisations, analysis – and psychologists can offer can ways of understanding how people interact with these. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_DBL_ABUSE_REDIR autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 106BBC57; Fri, 23 Jan 2015 07:51:57 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75589C4F; Fri, 23 Jan 2015 07:51:57 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 21EC8C4F; Fri, 23 Jan 2015 07:51:55 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150123065155.21EC8C4F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 23 Jan 2015 07:51:55 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.673 events: digital antiquarian; voting for the Keystone Conference X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150123065157.22979.79328@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 673.

Leaders in book history, curators and librarians from university and independent research libraries, and innovators in the digital humanities will convene in Worcester to exchange ideas about the past, present, and future of historical information literacy and the archive. The conference has been organized by Thomas Augst and Molly O’Hagan Hardy. Kenneth Carpenter, Carl Stahmer, and Michael Winship will give keynote talks. Papers will be presented by Blake Bronson-Barlett, Matt Brown, Craig Carey, Dawn Childress, Matt Cohen, Elizabeth Maddock Dillon, Lisa Gitelman, Jacqueline Goldsby, Leon Jackson, Mary Kelley, Lauren Klein, Meredith Neuman, Kyle Roberts, Todd Thompson, Jessica Showalter, and Ed Whitley. The conference will include a reception and project showcase including A New Nation Votes, Cassey & Dickerson Friendship Albums, Early Caribbean Digital Archive, The Occom Circle http://www.dartmouth.edu/~occom/ , TEI Archiving Publishing and Access Service (TAPAS) http://tapasproject.org/ , and Walt Whitman Archive http://www.whitmanarchive.org/ . Please register for the conference here http://www.americanantiquarian.org/digitalantiquarian . Following the conference, concepts and methods will be more deeply explored in a five-day workshop dedicated to practice-based learning in digital humanities in the AAS’s major areas of archival development and research. The workshop will introduce students to fundamental questions about how data is organized and used in contexts of archival development and research. Intended for faculty and graduate students interested in archival research, as well as students in library and information sciences, the workshop will discuss archival practices of acquisition, preservation, and cataloguing, survey best-practices for archival research (both at AAS and other historical archives) and offer hands-on training in project-development utilizing AAS holdings. Topics and exercises will focus on how metadata for archival collections are created, organized and remediated in digital environments, using AAS digital projects as a case study; how special collections collection catalogs are organized based on the specificities of the collection, standardized through authority work, and related to and different from union catalogs; and finally, how decisions about digitalization are made, including questions around optical character recognition, encoding (TEI), tagging, cataloguing formats, and newspapers; how collections are developed and the ways in which digitization impacts that process. Please submit the online application form for the conference by March 1, 2015.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2015 12:13:33 +0100 From: MIRIAM LLAMAS UBIETO Subject: cfp: Reading wide, writing wide in the Digital Age: perspectives on transliteratures Call for papers Reading wide, writing wide in the Digital Age: perspectives on transliteratures Complutense University of Madrid 22nd -23rd October 2015 Organizer: Miriam Llamas & Amelia SanzL(EETHY Group) The launching of Google Books and of Google Earth in 2004 could be considered a symbolical landmark in the configuration of memories and localization in space, a kind of milestone. Is there a time before and a time after 2004? Should we be getting ready for a change in literary reading and writing? Certainly, these days, we are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration of the circulation of products and materials, of people, texts and memories, while the national and global imaginaries coexist, fight and produce literatures. Commonplaces are repeated about contemporary literatures, new readers, globalization, the Internet etc., but, in fact, we do not find enough contrasted experiences and studies that support many of these assertions. It is time we ask whether interrelations on a global scale in digital environments have altered, on the one hand, the patterns of production and distribution of writing, of circulation and consumption of reading, and in that case, in what way. But, on the other hand, it is time to ask if these modalities of circulation are creating new narratives and a new effect of globalization. So we are considering global digital circulation as a factual process but also as an imaginary storytelling. In fact, as cinema radically transformed writers’ and readers’ literary imaginary at the beginning of the 20th century, the Internet is definitively modifying rituals of readings, formulas of production, narratives in the 21st century. We believe that it is necessary to verify what marks in the literary writing and reading could be considered symptoms of all these shifting reading patterns, writing strategies and imaginaries. We can explore the possibility that the conceptual metaphor which is being used to understand the literary fact through its genealogy is shifting to the transit and journey of literatures and readings. If the question "where does it come from?" has been used to shape personal and cultural identities, and therefore to build national literary discourses, nowadays it may be replaced by or intersect with the questions "where is it going?” and How is it going across?. This circulating conception of what we can call “transliteratures”, a well-founded and broad-based perspective in the literary field nowadays, should be put to the test in the digital domain. And this is the point: is digital circulation modifying literary imaginaries? We will try to ask to the following questions: - Given the extension and multiplication of digital media, the moving and widening vision of the world, is it really modifying local literary production, located imaginaries? - About the configuration of a cultural memory through new digital archives, we can raise the question: how does it influence the connective structures of culture and literature in particular? - Is the circulation of materials on the Web giving birth to new communities of readers-writers, with other modes of reading? Is it announcing the way readers from the new generation are going to read? We intend to gather experts and experiences coming from the world of cyberculture and literary criticism, with distant and distinct approaches, with the aim that, on the basis of an analysis of production cases and literary reading in paper or electronic support, they should offer answers about what is currently happening as much to the traditional and digital editorial world, as well as to the academic world of teaching and research.

This proposal aims to bring together two ways of exploring the topic of Diasporas, Identities and Memories – as a subject for academic study and discussion, and as a theme captured in artistic expression. The concept behind the conference is to bring for discussion state-of-the-art research related to the theme which will inspire the exhibition taking place during the CHoGM forum. The conference aims to bring together academics specializing in social history, history, information science, art history as well as curators, archivists and librarians interested in the theme. INVITED SPEAKERS: Terry A. Barringer (Cambridge University Library, UK) Dr John Ashley Burgoyne (University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands) Professor Stanley Fiorini (Malta) Professor Daniel Paul O'Donnell (University of Lethbridge, Canada) TOPICS OF INTEREST: The conference welcomes contributions that focus on, but are not limited to the following themes: - What role do researchers have in the capturing and articulation of diasporas, memories and identities? - How do memory institutions support engagement with researchers and the general public? - How the artistic expression captures identity and changes and conflicts related to it? - How to capture and convey trans-generational and community memories? - How does the right to forget manifest in the diasporas’ memories? - What are the specific issues around capturing memories and experiences of children and young people? - What has been the role of Commonwealth institutions or Commonwealth-based supra-national organisations in the formation of memory/identity/diasporas? - How do memory institutions contribute to the development and management of heritage? - How memory institutions across the Commonwealth countries could cooperate better to
serve diasporas? - What educational activities targeting memory institutions across the Commonwealth could
help cooperation? - How social media are transforming engagement and participation in archival processes? - How is transnationalism influencing the transmission of cultural values? - How much can technologies be of help in capturing memories/nostalgia and in representing identities? EXHIBITION: The conference will help with the concept and coverage of an art exhibition which will address the emotional fabric of communities, their memories and expressing identities. The exhibition will be one of the highlights of the social programme of CHOGM. Those interested in the exhibition component should contact Mr Alexander Debono,, National Museum of Fine Arts, alexander.debono@gov.mt.

Because this is a unique joint meeting of the two organizations, we are especially interested in submissions on the theme of *convergences and divergences*--papers that examine how different editorial theories and methodologies at times intersect and at others veer apart. What are the histories and possible futures of the two related but distinct editorial traditions of ADE and STS? We see this conference as an opportunity for reflection about editorial traditions and the prospects for textual studies and encourage proposals that explore these topics. Submissions may take the following forms: 1. Papers. Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length, making a significant original contribution to scholarship. 2. Panels. Panels may consist of either three associated papers or four to six roundtable speakers. Roundtables should address topics of broad interest and scope, with the goal of fostering lively debate with audience participation. 3. Posters. Posters showcase projects or present focused topics in a setting that features personal interaction and informal conversation. Posters on works-in-progress are encouraged. To propose a paper, panel, or poster, send an abstract of no more than 500 words to the program committee via the form available at http://go.unl.edu/e8x8 no later than January 30, 2015. The proposal should clearly indicate the format and whether technological support will be required. Please include the name, email address, and institutional affiliations for all participants. *Opportunity for New Editors: Institute for Editing Historical Documents* With funding from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the ADE offers an additional opportunity in Lincoln in conjunction with the conference: the Institute for Editing Historical Documents, to be held June 13-17 for individuals new to the practice of historical documentary editing. Experienced documentary editors provide instruction in the principles of their field and insight into the realities of their work.

Markup is used behind the scenes in archives, libraries, and museums to create and store metadata and the textual content of a wide variety of materials both textual and artefactual. We want to know how you or your project are using markup to preserve, analyze, disseminate, or curate materials of long-term value to society. Balisage is an excellent venue to discuss both theoretical and practical questions. Is cultural heritage markup essentially different from industrial markup? Is it inherently more heterogeneous, more complex? Are “industrial” tools like XML and HTML really appropriate for cultural heritage materials? How well will standards like TEI and EAD serve us as technology progresses? We dedicate this day to discussion of the challenges and possibilities of markup technologies used in the preservation of our cultural heritage and its transmission to future generations. We welcome proposals to present at the Symposium. Topics may include, but are not limited to: • Representing heterogeneous materials • Data modeling to support scholarly research • Building for the long term, even after the money has run out • Using/repurposing tools that weren’t designed for the kind of thing you’re doing • Is XML really appropriate for representing texts of scholarly interest? • Is XML really appropriate for representing metatdata about non-textual artefacts? • What does it mean for cultural heritage texts to be interoperable? Is it desirable? Is it possible? • Shared tag sets. Do shared markup vocabularies (e.g., TEI, EAD, LIDO, CDWA) do more harm than good? Full papers should be submitted by 17 April 2015. All papers are peer-reviewed — we pride ourselves that you will seldom get a more thorough, skeptical, or helpful review than the one provided by Balisage reviewers.

The ‘material turn’ in Humanities research has seen a celebration of the physicality of things and a revaluing of the weight of experience, including in the case of digital data. In his key text Mechanisms, Matthew Kirschenbaum identifies a need to reassess theories of electronic textuality in light of “the material matrix governing writing and inscription in all forms: erasure, variability, repeatability and survivability” (2008, xii). In the academy, this material turn co-exists with an increasing utilization of digital resources and digital methodologies to preserve and disseminate the findings of our research. These shifts are accompanied by divergent affective responses that include an interest in tactile sensations and a mourning of the loss of the object. There is a new awareness of the forms of lightness or weight attached to the transmission of ideas in and beyond our research communities; the densities of our culture and scholarship. The ever more numerous moments of contact between material culture and digital methodologies open up debates that are of both practical and theoretical significance. We invite papers that explore any aspect of the intersection between digital and material cultures. We warmly encourage proposals from scholars with a range of disciplinary backgrounds as well as from archival practitioners. Topics and questions to be addressed might include: What are the critical practices in the intersection of digital humanities and the material turn? Where are the material traces in the digital? What labour is involved in the transitions between the material and the digital?How do material and digital objects, practices and networks interrelate? What is lost in translations from material to digital, and what is gained? What is it that archives seek, and are able, to preserve? What are the political and territorial disputes of material conservation? How are creativity, meaning and contemporary resonance expressed in museums, libraries and archives? What material, theoretical and ethical challenges are posed by the collection and use of data? Case studies of particular archival collections and the relationships they create between the material and the digital. What are the opportunities and limitations for pedagogy? How have contemporary representations imagined the digital transformation of contemporary cultures? The symposium will run for one day. Proposals for 20 minute papers should contain an abstract of 150 words, as well as your paper title, a short biography (100 words), institutional affiliation and contact details. Proposals should be submitted by 4th February 2015 to amandat@unimelb.edu.au The Digital Humanities Incubator (DHI) is an initiative of the School of Culture and Communication at The University of Melbourne, and is supported by a collaborative Faculty of Arts Research Grant.

I have posted an elementary question or two on the list before. Today I ask you - Are there any materials, published or otherwise, aimed at providing the novice with a basic introduction to text mining (i.e., how it works, steps that typically comprise a project, etc.) and/or slightly more advanced materials providing the reader/user with a discussion of the types of questions that researchers using text mining technology typically pose, perhaps a review of some major software packages available, and and how to determine which software package is appropriate for a particular research question?

What existing tools and platforms stimulate knowledge creation across communities? In the digital age, what role do scholars play in inspiring, developing, or harnessing social knowledge creation? This one day event, “Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities,” will provoke conversation and stimulate activity around issues of social knowledge creation. We welcome researchers, students, and practitioners who wish to engage intellectually with this topic, as well as to do some hands-on experimentation with related practices and initiatives. Featured events include: • Opening presentations by leading figures in this area • Lightning talks, where authors present 4 minute versions of longer papers 
that have been circulated prior to the gathering, followed by a brief discussion (papers may be 
conceptual, theoretical, application-oriented, and more) • Aligned workshops, where session leaders present tools and platforms for social knowledge creation and attendees have the opportunity to play and experiment in this environment Proposals for lightning papers or aligned workshops should contain a title, an abstract (of approximately 500–750 words, plus list of works cited), and the names, affiliations, and website URLs of any presenters. Fuller papers will be solicited after proposal acceptance for circulation approximately 6 weeks in advance of the event. We are pleased to welcome proposals in all languages of our community, although we note that the chief working language of past gatherings has been English. Please send proposals on or before February 15th 2015 to Alyssa Arbuckle at alyssaarbuckle [at] gmail [dot] com. “Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities” is co-sponsored by the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL), Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE), Iter Community, and Iter: Gateway to the Renaissance.

Mellon-funded project on the York Archbishops' registers will host a major Summer Institute for graduate students at the University of York, 19 July-1 August 2015. Twelve fully-funded places (including all transportation, accommodation and subsistence costs) are available for graduate students registered in the UK and the USA. The Institute offers a great opportunity for students to receive expert training (either as beginners or as specialists) in the records of the English Church in the medieval and early modern eras, to advance their study of palaeography and diplomatic, and to understand the potential of these records for the study of religion, politics, society, culture, and digital humanities. Details of the Summer Institute, and links to the application form, are available at: http://www.york.ac.uk/borthwick/projects/archbishops-registers/#tab-3 I would be most grateful if you could draw this opportunity to the attention of interested graduate students.

Computer Science: Reflections on the Field, Reflections from the Field, a volume published by the U.S. National Academies Press in 2004, begins as follows: > The blossoming of computer science (CS) research is evident in the > information technology that has migrated from a specialized tool > confined to the laboratory or corporate back office to a ubiquitous > presence in machines and devices that now figure in the lives of > virtually every individual.

The NSF's mindfulness of what popularity can lead to is, I think, a virtue to be imitated: the misunderstanding of a field "not as a basic area of systematic inquiry but as a tool to support other endeavors". In the case of CS this popularity shows no signs of diminishing, which is to say, the existence of CS seems not to be threatened. That's not the worry. Note the response to the problem: "By describing in accessible form the field's intellectual character and by conveying a sense of its vibrancy through a set of examples... to prepare readers for what the future might hold and inspire CS researchers to help create it." The problem, in other words, is that the field thus misconstrued is cut off from a vital source of ideas and challenges by being mired in service-on-demand. And the solution is to describe "in accessible form the field's intellectual character" and to convey "a sense of its vibrancy through a set of examples". For digital humanities representing the vibrancy is not, I think, the problem. But what about its intellectual character? Comments?

I recently asked a text-mining colleague much the same question, and that was the immediate answer. It may or may not be the best for larger-scale projects (though I've no reason to doubt it), but it has a pedagogic focus which was exactly what I needed when I asked. It's also associated with a textbook on machine learning: http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~ml/weka/book.html Best wishes, Norman -- Norman Gray : http://nxg.me.uk SUPA School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, UK --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2015 19:56:28 +0000 From: "Lucic, Ana" Subject: RE: 28.681 text-mining In-Reply-To: <20150128074346.0FC9A7A5@digitalhumanities.org> A bit more advanced introduction to the area of text mining is available in: Weiss, S., Indurkhya, N., Zhang, T. and Damerau, F. 2004. Text Mining: Predictive Methods for Analyzing Unstructured Information. Springer Verlag, 2004. It's an older book but it's a good introduction and explanation of text mining, in my opinion. There is also a newer version, Fundamentals of Predictive Text Mining (2010), written by the same authors. http://data-miner.com/ourbooks.html These books contain software notes in the appendix but the coverage is very limited. They discuss Text-Miner Software Kit (TMSK), a comprehensive software package for predictive text mining that I haven't used so far. http://www.data-miner.com/tmsk.pdf The software is available only if you have purchased a copy of the book.

Best, Peter ========================================================================================================= The Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands has a vacancy for a Research Fellow (Early Stage Researcher), in Long-term business models in dissemination and publishing (1.0 fte) The fellow will work within the EU-supported Marie Curie Initial Training Network DiXiT (http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/) involved in the creation and publication of digital scholarly editions. The appointment is for 26 months and the position is to be filled as soon as possible. The researcher will be based at the Hague (the Netherlands). EU regulations to promote international mobility require eligible candidates not to have worked or lived in the Netherlands for more than 12 months over the last three years. The researcher will investigate the competing demands faced by digital scholarly editions: on the one hand the need for financial sustainability w.r.t. exploitation and maintenance, and on the other hand the general interest of the scholarly community in open access. Digital editions are usually created based on project funding, limited in time. After funding runs out, they need to be hosted, administered and maintained into an indefinite future. Is there a conceivable business model for the digital scholarly edition that will help the edition pay for its own maintenance while maintaining open access? The research project includes secondments in Italy and the UK. Position requirements - Master in a humanities field (e.g. Literary Studies, History) and a proven interest in business administration, or a master in business administration and a proven interest in the humanities - Active interest in digital publication - Affinity with information technology - Fluent in English - Some knowledge of Dutch is an advantage but not a requirement; learning Dutch is encouraged - Willing to reach out to and collaborate with national and international colleagues in related research disciplines - See also the eligibility requirements at http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/fellows.html, the vacancy for Early Stage Researcher 10. For the complete job description and instructions on how to apply, see https://www.huygens.knaw.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Research-Fellow-Long-term-business-models-2015-1.pdf.

The session will be held at the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA) conference in Glasgow on 2-5 September 2015. We welcome papers from all time periods and places, as long as the focus lies on the use of network science in archaeology. The deadline for submissions is 16 February 2015. Please visit the EAA website for more information and to submit an abstract: Network_Science_in_Archaeology:_Challenges_and Opportunities Despite pioneering applications in the 1960s and 70s, Network Science has only become more commonly applied within the Historical and Archaeological disciplines in the last decade. The success of initiatives such as The Connected Past or the Historical Network Research Conferences testify to this increasing popularity. However, many challenges remain, and many archaeologists and historians remain unconvinced by the formal application of network science for the study of past societies. Undoubtedly, a number of issues and difficulties are particular to archaeology and history: the inability to directly observe/interview past societies, the need to use textual and material sources as proxies of past phenomena, and the challenge of dealing with particularly incomplete datasets. In this session we aim to discuss these and other specific issues and difficulties of applying network science in archaeology and history, and learn from successful as well as failed experiments in order to collaboratively work towards solutions to these issues. We welcome contributions from any geographical areas and historical periods, which discuss and illustrate the opportunities and challenges offered by Network Science in Archaeology. Papers can address but are not restricted to the following topics: o Spatial Networks;o Long-term perspectives and longitudinal networks; o Diffusion Networks; o Trade and Exchange Networks; o Communication Networks; o Socio-Political Networks and Networks of Power. We hope to read your abstract soon and meet you in Glasgow.

It is of increasing interest for the speech technology community: Firstly, this domain has a high demand for speech technology and applications. There are several areas in the Digital Humanities that involve huge amounts of audio-visual data sources (e.g. oral history, archives of special historical fields, endangered languages, etc.). Speech technology can help to get a better access to these data and to extract relevant information. This should allow scientists in the Digital Humanities to generate and answer new research questions. Secondly, audio-visual data sets pose new research challenges for speech and audio researchers: Often the recordings of Digital Humanities scenarios are small, fragmented and of limited quality. Little established linguistic knowledge is usually available. Further, the speech is often natural and spontaneous. Therefore, new and better speech processing techniques are required. Hence, this workshop is designed to draw the attention of the speech technology community to the field of Digital Humanities and to connect researchers within and (in the past) tangential to this domain.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2015 09:46:12 -0500 From: Aaron McCollough Subject: Text Creation Partnership (TCP) opens more than 25, 000 early english books to public From the University of Michigan University Record: The texts of the first printed editions of Shakespeare, Chaucer and Milton, as well as lesser-known titles from the early modern era, can now be freely read by anyone with an Internet connection. The U-M Library, the University of Oxford's Bodleian Libraries and ProQuest have made public more than 25,000 manually transcribed texts from 1473-1700 — the first 200 years of the printed book. The release via Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication marks the completion of the first phase in the Early English Books Online-Text Creation Partnership (EEBO-TCP). An anticipated 40,000 additional texts are planned for release into the public domain by the end of the decade.The texts represent a significant portion of the estimated total output of English-language work published during the first two centuries of printing in England. What's available? The EEBO-TCP texts were transcribed from ProQuest's Early English Books Online (EEBO), a subscriber database of facsimile images obtained from books in libraries all over the world, including the British Library, the Folger Shakespeare Library, and the Bodleian Library at Oxford. Among the texts are some of the first books printed in English, a body of work that includes early English literature as well as works of history, philosophy, politics, religion, music, mathematics, and science. Highlights include several of William Caxton's editions of the works of Chaucer, the first translations of Homer by the Elizabethan dramatist and classical scholar George Chapman, and Sir Isaac Newton's "Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica." Possibly of even greater value are the thousands of less famous texts that offer unexplored avenues for discovery. Gardening manuals, cookery books, ballads, auction catalogues, dance instructions, and religious tracts detail the commonplace of the early modern period, while books about witchcraft and sword fighting document its more exotic facets. Many of these works have never before been available to the public online, and physical copies are rare and require special handling. The transcribed texts, as open data, are freely available for anyone to read, reuse, reproduce, repurpose and distribute. (ProQuest's EEBO image database remains available only to subscribers.) The partnership that made it possible At its inception in 1999, the aim of EEBO-TCP was to convert the extraordinary corpus EEBO represents into fully searchable digital texts. For modern printed works, such conversions rely upon optical character recognition, which can automatically produce searchable text from scanned images. But these first printed works use character sets and spelling that aren't OCR-friendly. Age and print quality present additional hurdles to machine readability. The conversion of EEBO texts requires painstaking manual keyboarding of the texts, including Extensible Markup Language to encode the structure of the text (chapter divisions, tables, lists, etc.), and a thorough editorial process to ensure accuracy. Getting the task done required a transnational collaborative enterprise driven by the U-M Library, the Bodleian Digital Library at Oxford, ProQuest, the Council on Library and Information Resources; Jisc, the charity that provides digital solutions to UK education and research, and the support of more than 160 partner libraries. EEBO-TCP already has provided key source material for scholars with institutional access, and has contributed to monographs, articles, essay collections and scholarly editions as well as computer-aided linguistics. The release into the public domain creates new opportunities for research around the globe, and for corpus-based textual analysis. "The open access release of the first group of EEBO-TCP texts marks an important milestone in an extraordinary international partnership between public and private entities," notes Charles Watkinson, associate university librarian for publishing. "The opportunity now exists for scholars both within and outside the academy to apply powerful digital scholarship tools to a huge body of material that is of central importance to world culture.

Another fantastic resource is "Text Analysis with Topic Models for the Humanities and Social Sciences": https://de.dariah.eu/tatom/. Another link of interest is the Methods Commons http://hermeneuti.ca/methods, which contains a set of recipes (the tools mentioned aren't always functional, but the recipes are more about conceptual tasks anyway). I'm also in the process of writing, with Geoffrey Rockwell, an introductory guide to Literary Text Mining with iPython: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/sgsinclair/alta/blob/master/ipynb/ArtOfLiteraryTextAnalysis.ipynb. I'm filling this in during the winter term, so it's definitely a work in progress. There are a ton of guides out there and we hope to orient this one more closely to humanistic perspectives (even if the first version may be more mechanical than we hope later revisions will be).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 02 Feb 2015 06:43:37 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: engineering and the humanities Bravo, Paul Fishwick (in Humanist 28.689)! But it's a struggle against the blinkered view so often a result of disciplinary training. Not necessarily, I hasten to add. I keep recalling Northrop Frye's statement that it doesn't so much matter where you begin as long as you begin within a discipline that can expand into all others -- his secular translation of the medieval "centrum ubique circumferentia nusquam", centre everywhere, circumference nowhere, I'd guess. A good dose of history really helps. For engineering one very good place to start is Eugene Ferguson's "The Mind's Eye: Nonverbal Thought in Technology", Science NS 197.4306: 827-36 (in JSTOR), which later expanded into a book, Engineering and the Mind's Eye (MIT, 1992). (And one must not overlook Walter Vincenti's What Engineers Know and How they Know It, Davis Baird's Thing Knowledge and so on.) Ferguson points to the common ground of engineering and the arts. That in turn leads to the revolutionary project of the original humanists (humanistae, as they were called). This leads to Francis Bacon, and so to the ground of the Early Modern period, for which Tina Skouen's and Ryan J. Stark's Rhetoric and the Early Royal Society: A Sourcebook (Brill, 2015) is very helpful. Loads of good work has been done on this period that could help bring into closer, kissing proximity engineering, the sciences, the arts, the humanities. I can imagine two things happening then, providing one does not give up, turn one's back and walk away muttering imprecations. One is to cultivate the differences, to grow "expanding eyes". The other is to ask, what is the aim? Something more than epistemic multiculturalism surely. Do we struggle for an eradication of the difference, let us call it between mathesis and poesis in computing, with the aim of transcending the binary or denying that in a complex system it matters? Do we call one or the other of these silly, mistaken, wrongheaded or pernicious? My argument would be, with McGann, for exploitation of the difference, confrontation with it, deliberately cultivating and seeking to preserve the conflict. If the sciences champion mathesis (quite a generalisation, I realise), then we treasure them for that, see how far they can go (very far so far), how they stimulate change. I like to think of Gilgamesh and Enkidu -- not because of Star Trek, though at the time the reminder was apt. (My son read Gilgamesh as a result :-). Further comments?

Fleming) Deadline: March 10 th , 2015 for The Sixteenth-Century Studies Conference, Vancouver B.C., October 22-25, 2015 Panel: Apocalyptic knowledge “ Multi pertransibunt et augebitur scientia. ” The Vulgate translation of Daniel 12:4—“many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” (KJV)—is familiar to scholars of early-modern intellectual history. Appearing on the frontispiece of Sir Francis Bacon’s Instauratio magna (1620), the line appears to endow modern natural science with a proleptic optimism. Yet Daniel’s prophecy, as we perhaps do not always recall, is apocalyptic . It is a vision of the world’s revelation at its dissolution. To what extent was “science,” as it emerged in the early-modern period, end-times knowledge ? That is to say, how important was the Biblical trope and/or expectation of apocalypse to the very idea of experimental discovery, theorized as a new and decisive standard of inquiry into the nature of things? Relevant issues include Scholastic vs. Neoplatonic conceptions of substantial form; the theological underpinnings of Baconian methodology; the idea of the magus; the ontological promise of alchemy; and the interaction between Biblical authority and natural philosophy. Relevant figures include Bacon, Dorn, Erastus, Agrippa, Cardano, Kircher, and of course Paracelsus. But these lists, to say the least, are non-exhaustive. Paper proposals are therefore invited for a panel or panels at the 2015 Vancouver SCSC under the heading of “Apocalyptic knowledge.” 250 words+CV to jfleming@sfu.ca by March 10 th .

The seminars are held on Friday afternoons from June to mid-August in the Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London, WC1E 7HU. We are seeking contributions from students as well as established researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers discussing individual projects and their immediate contexts, but also wish to accommodate the broader theoretical considerations of the use of digital methods in the study of the ancient world, including ancient cultures beyond the classical Mediterranean. You should expect a mixed audience of classicists, philologists, historians, archaeologists, information scientists and digital humanists, and take particular care to cater for the presence of graduate students in the audience. There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend). To submit a proposal for consideration, email an abstract of no more than 500 words to s.mahony@ucl.ac.uk by midnight GMT on March 8th, 2015. Organised by Gabriel Bodard, Hugh Bowden, Stuart Dunn, Simon Mahony and Charlotte Tupman.

Web Science aims to draw together theories, methods and findings from across academic disciplines, and to collaborate with industry, business, government and civil society, to develop our knowledge and understanding of the Web: the largest socio-technical infrastructure in human history. The Web Science conference welcomes participation from all disciplines including, but not limited to, art, computer and information sciences, communication, economics, humanities, informatics, law, linguistics, philosophy, political science, psychology, and sociology, in pursuit of an understanding of the Web. This conference is unique in bringing these disciplines together in creative and critical dialogue. We particularly welcome contributions that seek to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries. Following the success of WebSci'09 in Athens, WebSci'10 in Raleigh, WebSci'11 in Koblenz, WebSci'12 in Evanston, WebSci'13 in Paris, and WebSci'14 in Bloomington, for the 2015 conference we are seeking papers and posters that describe original research, analysis, and practice in the field of Web Science, as well as work that discusses novel and thought-provoking ideas and works-in-progress. Possible topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following: * Theoretical, methodological and ethical approaches for Web Science * Web practices - individual and/or collective and/or institutional * Humanities on the Web * The architecture and philosophy of the Web * Web Science approaches to Data Science and the Web of Data * Web Science and the Internet of Things * Social machines, collective intelligence and collaborative production * Social Media analytics for Web Science * Web economics, social entrepreneurship and innovation * Web Science and Cybersecurity * Governance, democracy, intellectual property, and the commons * Personal data, trust, and privacy * Web access, literacy, and development * Knowledge, education, and scholarship on and through the Web * Health and well-being online * Arts and culture on the Web * Data curation and stewardship in Web Science * Web archiving techniques and scholarly uses of Web archives This call for papers and posters can be found on http://websci15.org along with a separate call for colocated workshops. Submission Web Science 2015 is a very selective single track conference with a rigorous review process. To accommodate the distinct traditions of its many disciplines, we provide three different paper submission formats: full papers, short papers, and posters. For all types of submissions, inclusion in the Association for Computing Machinery Digital Library proceedings will be by default, but not mandatory. All accepted research papers (full and short papers) will be presented during the single track conference. There will be a reception for all accepted posters, which will all be displayed in a dedicated space during the conference. * Full research papers (8-10 pages, ACM double column) Full research papers should present substantial theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. This should be original work that has not been previously published. * Short research papers (up to 5 pages, ACM double column) Short research papers may present preliminary theoretical, empirical, methodological, or policy-oriented contributions to research and/or practice. This should be original work that has not been previously published. * Posters (up to 2 pages, ACM double column, poster reception and presentation) Extended abstracts for posters may be up to 2 pages. Other types of creative submissions (flexible format) are also encouraged, and the exact format and style of presentation are open. Examples might include artistic performances or installations, interactive exhibits, demonstrations, or other creative formats. For these submissions, the proposers should make clear the format and content and any special requirements they would need to successfully deliver this work (in terms of space, time, technology, etc.) Submission instructions Full and short paper and poster submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG proceedings template (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates). If appropriate, please make use of the ACM 1998 classification scheme (http://www.acm.org/about/class/1998/).

Best, Jentery **************************************** Call for Papers: Making Humanities Matter Jentery Sayers, Editor Deadline for Abstracts: April 3, 2015 Part of the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series A book series from the University of Minnesota Press Matthew K. Gold, Series Editor Lauren Klein, Associate Editor What does it mean to describe humanities scholarship as built, assembled, or constructed? To call a humanities argument a persuasive or provocative object? To understand humanities disciplines as creative disciplines? To, in short, make things in the humanities? Engaging these questions and more, this volume in the Debates in the Digital Humanities Series examines the arts and humanities in an age of programmable worlds and digital/analog convergence. As both a working title and a framework, we understand "making humanities matter" to invite submissions that, through an attention to both theory and practice: * Articulate what exactly it means to make things in the humanities; * Describe how humanities research in computing is aligned with the arts and creative practice (e.g., sculpture, performance, visual arts, experimental media, and interaction design), and to what effects on the humanities; * Argue for what "humanities matter" should be or do, and why; * Attend to how humanities scholarship and its materiality are changing alongside or through the Internet of Things, wearables, bots, physical computing, desktop fabrication, rapid prototyping, and speculative design; *Unpack how humanities research is expressed through materials off the page or screen, in the form of tangible objects, tactile media, or human-computer relations; or * Attest to the intersections between making things and the perceived relevance of humanities scholarship, including the role of making in public scholarship, community-based research, activism, and memory institutions. Related questions include but are not limited to: * How is making a form of experimental research or applied media theory? * How can tactile media be scholarship? How can argumentation be expressed through built forms? * How is history being made through the (re)construction of artifacts, exhibits, experiments, and interactives? * How is making associated with reuse, repurposing, old media, and critiques of obsolescence or waste in the humanities? * How are laboratories, studios, and makerspaces playing a role in humanities research? In these spaces, how are people translating technologies and technical practices into humanities research? * What does making mean for writing, rhetoric, public communication, peer review, publishing, and the trajectories of (scholarly) argumentation? * How are teachers integrating making into humanities pedagogy, and how is "making" understood in the scholarship of teaching and learning? * How is making functioning as a brand or fad, and to what effects on practice and practitioners? More generally, what are some critiques of making as a practice, movement, or concept in and beyond the academy? * How are maker, do-it-yourself, or do-it-ourselves movements organized, by whom, for whom, in what relation to industry, and under what assumptions? What are the politics of making? Practitioners from across the disciplines (regardless of rank, position, or whether they are affiliated with an academic institution) are invited to submit 300-word abstracts by 3 April 2015 to Jentery Sayers at jentery@uvic.ca. Collaboratively authored submissions are especially welcome. The Debates in the Digital Humanities editorial team will review all abstracts, and authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full manuscripts by 15 June 2015, with peer-to-peer review occurring during July 2015. The volume will be published, in print and online, in 2016. For the volume, contributions may ultimately assume the form of critical essays, case studies, or project assessments (among other options). The word count of the submissions may vary from 2000 to 8000 words, depending on the submission. The editorial team will consult with authors of selected abstracts about the word count of their contributions. If you have any questions about Making Humanities Matter or this CFP, then please email Jentery Sayers at jentery@uvic.ca. Sayers is Assistant Professor of English and Cultural, Social, and Political Thought, as well as Director of the Maker Lab in the Humanities, at the University of Victoria. Debates in the Digital Humanities is a hybrid print/digital publication stream that explores new debates as they emerge. The first volume was published in 2012 and edited by Matthew K. Gold.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 03 Feb 2015 07:35:58 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: last call: the Summer Institute in Digital Textual Studies Summer Institute in Digital Textual Studies National Humanities Center Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, U.S. June 2015 and 2016 Conducted by Willard McCarty (King's College London; University of Western Sydney) and Matthew Jockers (University of Nebraska at Lincoln) The Institute The intention behind the Institute in Digital Textual Studies is to equip participants for confronting a central epistemic dilemma of digital research in the interpretative disciplines: what does it have to do with the core interpretative act? The focus of the Institute is discursive text, whether the scholar's interest is historical, sociological, philological, literary or linguistic. Its means of confronting this dilemma is analytical distant reading carried out with tools built by participants. No prior experience with or knowledge of programming is needed or required, rather willingness to make simple tools and to probe text digitally with them. The Institute is thus a hands-on seminar, simultaneously practical and philosophical. It is based on the conviction that a thorough understanding digital humanities is best pursued by combining direct experience of digital tools with wide-ranging consideration of the intellectual inheritance borne by computing and the implications it carries: where tools and ideas intersect the traffic is bi-directional and mutually transformative. For this reason time is devoted both to reading and discussing and to building and experimenting. Participants The Institute is intended for the kind of scholar that the National Humanities Center normally selects for residential fellowships, i.e. mid-career or senior scholars working in any area of the humanities. 15 will be selected by the convenors. About the NHC The National Humanities Center is the only major independent American institute for advanced study in all fields of the humanities. Privately incorporated and governed by a distinguished board of trustees from academic, professional, and public life, the Center was planned under the auspices of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and began operation in 1978. It provides a national focus for the best work in the liberal arts, drawing attention to the enduring value of ancient and modern history, language and literature, ethical and moral reflection, artistic and cultural traditions, and critical thought in every area of humanistic investigation. By encouraging excellence in scholarship, the Center seeks to insure the continuing strength of the liberal arts and to affirm the importance of the humanities. Application Application for the Summer Institute remains open until 20 February.

Pat Galloway University of Texas at Austin [In response to Pat Galloway's question: a rapporteur will be present throughout the Institute and will produce a report and commentary on its first (2015) and second (2016) sessions. Since we are trying something new which we hope to continue, we are intensely interested in the outcome from a participant-observer's perspective. At issue is how digital humanities is best done -- or, to put it another way, what it becomes -- in the practice and understanding of the individual scholar. The Institute provides a chance to study that. --WM] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 4009C99A; Wed, 4 Feb 2015 07:30:38 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 990CC994; Wed, 4 Feb 2015 07:30:37 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9519096E; Wed, 4 Feb 2015 07:30:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150204063034.9519096E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2015 07:30:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.697 Summer institutes in art history & textual editing X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150204063038.16844.97359@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 697.

Participants will learn about debates and key concepts in the digital humanities and gain hands-on experience with tools and techniques for art historical research (including data visualization, network graphs, and digital mapping). More fundamentally, the Institute will be an opportunity for participants to imagine what digital art history can be: What constitutes art historical “data”? How shall we name and classify this data? Which aspects of art historical knowledge are amenable to digitization, and which aspects resist it? With major support for the program provided by the Getty Foundation, participants will receive travel and lodging in Los Angeles for the duration of the Institute. UCLA’s team of leading digital humanities technologists will be joined by faculty members Johanna Drucker (Bernard and Martin Breslauer Professor of Bibliography, Information Studies), Todd Presner (Chair, Digital Humanities Program, and Professor of Germanic Languages and Comparative Literature), and Miriam Posner (Digital Humanities Program Coordinator and Institute Director). Participants will be selected on the basis of their ability to formulate compelling research questions about the conjunction of digital humanities and art history, as well as their potential to disperse the material they glean to colleagues at their home institutions and to the field at large. Applicants must possess an advanced degree in art history or a related field. The application is open to faculty members, curators, independent scholars, and other professionals who conduct art historical research. We define “art history” broadly to include the study of art objects and monuments of all times and places. Current graduate students are not eligible to apply. If you have questions about eligibility, please contact Institute Director Miriam Posner at mposner@humnet.ucla.edu. Please apply online at http://www.humanities.ucla.edu/getty .

While a group of philosophers and philosophically-influenced scholars are increasingly interested in the Web, we are facing unprecedented challenges around its future that requires concerted efforts between researcher and disciplines to be properly addressed. With both Internet governance and the very architecture of the Web undergoing rapid change, now is the time for a philosophy of the Web to help to fulfill the Web’s full potential, expanding upon its fundamental principles in new terrains ranging from mass surveillance to the impact of the Internet of things. Even swifter is the Web-driven transformation of many previously unquestioned philosophical concepts of privacy, authority, meaning, identity, belief, intelligence, cognition, and even embodiment in surprising ways. In response, we hope to provoke the properly philosophical question of whether or not philosophy that can weave these changes to technology and society into a coherent whole that can adapt the principles of the Web to the age of surveillance. Subjects to be addressed include, but are not limited to · Philosophy and Politics of Open Data and Big Data · Human Rights, Internet Rights, and Tim Berners-Lee’s “Magna Carta” for the Web · Protocols and code as politics · Algorithmic governance · Transparency, Surveillance, Cryptography, and (Big/Linked/Semantic) Data · Alternative accounts of semantics for the Semantic Web · Philosophical roots of cybernetics, AI and the architecture of the Web · The future of decentralization on the Web and Internet · Knowledge in AI, KR, Semantic Web, Linked Data, open data, contrasted (or enriched) with knowledge in other disciplines (especially STS) Prof Leslie Carr Web Science institute #⃣ webscience #⃣ openaccess --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 Feb 2015 00:32:04 +0000 From: "cybconf2015@ciirc.cvut.cz" Subject: 2nd IEEE International Conference on Cybernetics - Call for Papers Dear colleauge, the IEEE SMC Society co-sponsors the 2nd IEEE International Conference on Cybernetics which will be held in Gdynia, Poland, on June 25-26, 2015: http://cybconf2015.am.gdynia.pl/ Please, consider your active participation in this event.

The DHBenelux conference is a young initiative that strives to further the dissemination of, and collaboration between Digital Humanities projects in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg by hosting an annual conference in various institutions throughout these countries. The conference serves as a platform for the fast growing community of DH researchers to meet, present and discuss their latest research results and to demonstrate tools and projects. The first DHBenelux conference took place in The Hague (The Netherlands) in 2014 and was a great success, attracting an audience of over 160 participants with a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, coming from a variety of different countries (including but not limited to the Benelux). In 2015 the conference aspires to welcome an even larger and more diverse audience. NB: In line with the community building principles of Digital Humanities, we have attempted to tend more to gender balance and geographical spread within the Program Committee, which is the reason the PC has seen some additions with regard to the conference’s first CfP. = Conference, Program, Venue = The DHBenelux 2015 conference will be proudly hosted by the University of Antwerp. The conference will take place on Monday 8 and Tuesday 9 June 2015 at the University of Antwerp campus. The DHBenelux conference welcomes contributions and participants from all areas of research and teaching in Digital Humanities. While the conference has a focus on recent advances in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg, we do warmly welcome contributions from outside the Benelux. The language of the conference is international English. We hope that we may welcome many scholars to the European scientific meeting platform that DHBenelux will constitute in summer 2015 for the Digital Humanities. The conference program will offer oral presentations, project presentations, poster sessions, and a demo space. Our first confirmed keynote speaker will be William Noel (http://www.willnoel.com http://www.willnoel.com/ /), Director of The Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania. = Call = We now invite submissions of abstracts on any aspect of digital humanities: practical experimentation, thorough theorizing, cross- and multidisciplinary work, new and relevant developments. Relevant subjects can be any of—but are not limited to—the following: - Digital media, digitization, curation of digital objects - Software studies, modeling, information design - Text mining, data mining, big data & small data - Design and application of algorithms and analyses - Application of digital technology in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies - Critical study of digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games - Social and economic aspects of digitality and digital humanities - Stylometry, topic modeling, sentiment mining and other digital techniques - Interfaces, augmented reality, serious gaming - Pedagogy, teaching, and dissemination of digital humanities We particularly encourage PhD students and junior researchers to submit abstracts. Note that this call is not limited to researchers in the Benelux. Anyone can submit an abstract. Proposal should be at least 250 words, not exceeding 500 words. References and/or bibliography, recommended but not obligatory, are excluded from the word count. Proposals may contain graphics and illustrations. Proposals and abstracts should clearly state the title and name and affiliation of the authors and presenters. Also indicate for which category (or categories) of presentation you are submitting your proposal. Presentation categories are: * Paper Oral presentations on papers will be given 15 minutes presentation time and 5 minutes for Q&A. Oral presentations are well suited for presenting research methods and results, concise theoretical argument, reporting on ongoing research, project presentations, and presenting intermediate finds or theory development. * Poster Posters are particularly suited for detailed technical explanations and clarifications, and for the show and tell of projects and research alike. A two hour poster session is scheduled, posters may be put up for display during the entire conference. * Demonstration For demonstrating prototypes, finished software, hardware technology, tools, datasets, digital publications and so forth a 'market place' will be organized. * Panel If a group of researchers wishes to highlight and discuss different aspects of a larger topic in Digital Humanities together with the audience, they may propose to organize a panel. A panel session takes one hour, and will be chaired by one of the panelists — who will be responsible for finding a good balance between presentation and discussion. To apply for a panel, please submit your proposal as an 'oral presentation', and make it clear that you wish to organize a panel in the abstract. Proposals may combine two presentation modes, e.g. to support the theory detailed in a paper presentation with a practical demonstration on the demo market place. Combined presentations should either consist of a paper plus demonstration, or a paper and poster. In the interest of planning we ask authors to be very careful in indicating chosen combinations of presentation modes. To submit your proposal, please use the EasyChair facility that we have put online at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dhbenelux2015 . = Important dates = Deadline for submitting abstracts: Sunday 1 March 2015, 23:59 CET. Notification of acceptance: Sunday 15 March 2015. Deadline for revised abstracts: Wednesday 1 April 2015. = More information = Please check our website at http://dhbenelux.org http://dhbenelux.org/ / for further details that will become available running up to the conference.

The goal is to extend Sunoikisis to a global audience and contribute to it with an international consortium of Digital Classics programs (Sunoikisis DC). Sunoikisis DC is based at the Alexander von Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig. The aim is to offer collaborative courses that foster interdisciplinary paradigms of learning. Master students of both the humanities and computer science are welcome to join the courses and work together by contributing to digital classics projects in a collaborative environment. Sunoikisis DC will start in the SS 2015 with a Digital Classics course at the University of Leipzig. Faculty members of participating institutions will gather at the University of Leipzig on February 16-18 for a planning seminar in order to discuss course topics, schedule the academic calendar, and construct the course syllabus. The seminar is organized by the Alexander von Humboldt Chair of Digital Humanities at the University of Leipzig in collaboration with the Center for Hellenic Studies and Perseids.

I am creating small DH projects to go along with my dissertation, one of which can be found here: http://www.briansarnacki.com/smallcity/furniture-city/ Jason Heppler has an ongoing dissertation project here: http://dissertation.jasonheppler.org/ and I'm sure there are many others creating similar work.

In "What He Could Bear", in the London Review of Books for 9 March 2006, commenting on British poet John Burnside's A Lie About My Father (2006), Hilary Mantel asks the following question: > What is the creative work we do in the world, but the habit and > mental trick of listening to one thing and hearing another, of > looking at an object and seeing its nimbus or else its crystalline > form? Or the habit of ensouling shadows, endowing something glimpsed > with a history and a name? And my question is this: if with our digital device we achieve a more accurate means of listening or looking or glimpsing, then is "the creative work we do in the world" made better? Comments?

Dear all, for a while now I am thinking that there is a mismatch between the freedom we have in creating network graphs and the limitations we face when we try to share them. Roughly the options right now are 1) static images, 2) screencasts, 3) animations of dynamic graphs, 4) custom solutions in environments like D3 or Sigma.js. There is a nice example of how graph-like representations and storytelling can go together: http://www.npr.org/2010/10/27/130845545/a-web-of-gop-influence And http://storymap.knightlab.com/ is a great tool to tell stories based on maps. So I wonder whether you would have good use for such a tool for network graphs? Or is there something I missed? Right now I am trying to get a first sense of how others thinks about this. Any input is very much appreciated.

Mellon Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Lehigh* Lehigh University seeks applications for a two-year Mellon Postdoctoral Research Scholar in digital humanities and community engagement beginning August 2015. The annual salary is $50,000 with full benefits. For more than a century, mighty Bethlehem Steel anchored Lehigh University’s hometown, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Now that the Steel is gone, Bethlehem is experiencing the economic, social and cultural transformations of a city in transition to a post-industrial future. Lehigh faculty, staff and students have begun telling the city’s story using new digital media forms, chronicling the near universal themes of a community grappling with compelling issues of social justice and its own evolving history. We seek a postdoctoral scholar well-versed in digital media, methods and technologies, with scholarly interest in one or more of the following areas: documentary studies (film or other), community engagement, urban studies and social justice. The scholar will pursue digital humanities scholarship, teach one undergraduate course each semester, contribute to workshops in partnership with the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning, and work one-on-one to help faculty integrate digital media into their courses. The goal is to drive expansion of an undergraduate humanities curriculum that engages the local community, equips more faculty with enhanced skill sets in digital humanities forms, amplifies undergraduate humanities research, and leads to the development of an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor in documentary studies. The position is open to candidates with a Ph.D. received between August 2012 and August 2015. We seek scholars from a wide range of humanities disciplines as well as the humanistic social sciences. Please apply at https://academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/5320 and submit a cover letter, vita, dissertation abstract, project description, and contact information for three academic references who will be prompted via email to submit letters electronically. The deadline for receipt of all materials is March 15, 2015. Inquiries should be directed to Professor Ed Whitley: edw204@lehigh.edu Lehigh University ranks in the top 50 among national universities in the 2014 U.S. News & World Report ratings and is in the most competitive category in both Peterson’s Guide and Barron’s Profile of American Colleges. Lehigh is located on a scenic, 1,600-acre campus in historic Bethlehem in eastern Pennsylvania. It is about one and one-half hours from New York and Philadelphia. The Lehigh Valley is an attractive place to live and work with reasonable cost of living, easy commuting, and abundant cultural activities. The College of Arts and Sciences at Lehigh University is committed to increasing the diversity of the college community and curriculum. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are encouraged to apply and to identify their strengths or experiences in this area. Lehigh University is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer and Lehigh offers excellent benefits including domestic partner benefits.

On the one hand, more and more texts are available electronically as, for example, in the collection Théâtre classique (http://www.theatre-classique.fr) for French drama, the complete works of Shakespeare (e.g. http://www.folgerdigitaltexts.org) and a collection of German dramas and libretti (http://www.textgrid.de/). On the other hand, we can now see the emergence of new methods and tools that allow us to gain and compute information like, for example, word frequency, speech length, configuration structures or topics automatically, also from large amounts of texts. The workshop aims at evaluating the possibilities of computer-based drama analysis for theses domains. What can be the use of the mostly quantitative results for questions such as quality, style, popularity, canonicity, genre, periods of literary history, and individual authorial periods of production? What kind of new questions, which new micro- or macronarratives are arising from these approaches? Where are the differences to prior non-computational approaches to quantitative aspects of drama (see e.g. the works of F.v.Cube/W. Reichert, Solomon Marcus, Manfred Pfister)?   Workshop Schedule Thursday, March 12 11.00 Katrin Dennerlein: Opening 11.30 Martin Mueller (Northwestern University): Shakespeare His Contemporaries: A corpus-wide approach 12.15 Gerhard Heyer (Uni Leipzig) / Thomas Efer (Universität Leipzig): Information Theory and Structural Analysis: A Toolbox for Drama Mining 13.00 Lunch 14.30 Manuel Burghardt / Thomas Wilhelm (Uni Regensburg): Interaktive Analyse und Visualisierung von Shakespeare‑Dramen 15.15 Katrin Dennerlein (Uni Würzburg): Configuration density as a measurement for differences between comedies and tragedies 16.00 Coffee 16.30 Marcus Willand / Peggy Bockwinkel (Uni Stuttgart): Die dramatische Figur im Dramentitel und ihre Funktion für die dramatische Handlung.

I'm currently working on writing a book, tentatively titled "Drupal for Humanists", that provides a step-by-step guide to how to build a web-based environment for such projects (or even larger / more complex / better funded projects), with no custom programming required. Hosting a Drupal site can be done very inexpensively as well, and I hope that it'll be useful for people in a wide range of contexts, including "DH DIY-ers". ~Quinn On Thu, Feb 5, 2015 at 10:21 PM, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 708. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > [1] From: John Levin > (26) > Subject: Re: 28.701 small scale / low key projects? > > [2] From: Brian Sarnacki > (62) > Subject: Re: 28.701 small scale / low key projects? > > > > --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:56:53 +0100 > From: John Levin > Subject: Re: 28.701 small scale / low key projects? > In-Reply-To: <20150205062031.92B1E965@digitalhumanities.org> > > On 05/02/2015 07:20, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > > > > I'm personally very interested in the small scale and/or low key DH > > projects.

Specifically, this will be a discussion and networking event for Early Career Researchers (ECRs), focusing on the challenges facing them in a competitive academic environment. The AHRC defines ECRs as individuals who are within eight years of their PhD or equivalent professional training, excluding career breaks; or within six years of their first academic appointment. We recognise that not all researchers are ECRs, and apologise if you have been contacted in error. The event will: · examine the broad issue of institutional support for ECRs post-PhD, in terms of career advice and training provision. It will also look at how the university research staff associations can provide supportive networks and help AHRC postdoctoral researchers identify appropriate support within their institutions; · enable AHRC postdoctoral researchers to contribute to AHRC policy formulation and wider thinking in this area; · provide a forum at which AHRC postdoctoral researchers can meet and exchange ideas about career support with peers. The issues to be considered are largely those raised by the joint AHRC/British Academy-commissioned report Support for Arts and Humanities Researchers Post-PhD (Oakleigh Consulting, September 2014), a copy of which may be found here. The event will take place between 10 am and 3 pm on 18 March at Etc Venues, One Drummond Gate, Pimlico, London, SW1V 2QQ. Directions may be found here. Any early career, AHRC-funded postdoctoral researcher who would like to attend should confirm by emailing Researcher.Development@AHRC.ac.uk. If possible, they should also provide the reference of the AHRC grant they are working on, and the name of the Principal Investigator. Please be aware that spaces are limited, and will be allocated to the first postdoctoral researchers who respond. The deadline for responses is 27 February. Expenses for participants coming from outside London will be covered provided they meet the AHRC’s policy on travel and subsistence. A claim form will be sent to participants following the event.

The *conference from **May 29-30, 2015* will open up questions related to digitization, cataloguing, and research design, exploring applications of digital tools and methods to diverse library materials, and identifying needs and opportunities in the development of critical bibliography appropriate to 21st-century tools. Leaders in book history, curators and librarians from university and independent research libraries, and innovators in the digital humanities will convene in Worcester to exchange ideas about the past, present, and future of historical information literacy and the archive. The conference has been organized by Thomas Augst and Molly O’Hagan Hardy. Kenneth Carpenter, Carl Stahmer, and Michael Winship will give keynote talks. Papers will be presented by Blake Bronson-Barlett, Matt Brown, Craig Carey, Dawn Childress, Matt Cohen, Elizabeth Maddock Dillon, Lisa Gitelman, Jacqueline Goldsby, Leon Jackson, Mary Kelley, Lauren Klein, Meredith Neuman, Kyle Roberts, Todd Thompson, Jessica Showalter, and Ed Whitley. The conference will include a reception and project showcase including A New Nation Votes http://elections.lib.tufts.edu/ , Cassey & Dickerson Friendship Albums http://lcpalbumproject.org/ , Early Caribbean Digital Archive http://omekasites.northeastern.edu/ECDA/ , The Occom Circle http://www.dartmouth.edu/~occom/ , TEI Archiving Publishing and Access Service (TAPAS) http://tapasproject.org/ , andWalt Whitman Archive http://www.whitmanarchive.org/ . Following the conference, concepts and methods will be more deeply explored in a *workshop from June 1-5, 2015 *dedicated to practice-based learning in digital humanities in the AAS’s major areas of archival development and research. The workshop will introduce students to fundamental questions about how data is organized and used in contexts of archival development and research. Intended for faculty and graduate students interested in archival research, as well as students in library and information sciences, the workshop will discuss archival practices of acquisition, preservation, and cataloguing, survey best-practices for archival research (both at AAS and other historical archives) and offer hands-on training in project-development utilizing AAS holdings. Topics and exercises will focus on how metadata for archival collections are created, organized and remediated in digital environments, using AAS digital projects as a case study; how special collections collection catalogs are organized based on the specificities of the collection, standardized through authority work, and related to and different from union catalogs; how decisions about digitization are made, including questions around optical character recognition, encoding (TEI), tagging, cataloguing formats, and newspapers; and finally, how collections are developed and the ways in which digitization impacts that process. Please submit the online application form by *March 1, 2015* .

John Bradley and Gabriel Bodard ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Convergence of Curation by Michael Lesk Professor, Rutgers University, and Chair, Department of Library and Information Science In the online future, what will be the distinctions between libraries, archives, and museums? Remote access will be common for all, and derivatives of Dublin Core may dominate cataloging. Agreement on metadata across institutions, always important for libraries, is becoming more significant for museums and archives, and many institutions are introducing more generous access policies. Common software platforms, such as Duraspace or Omeka, can be used very widely. The social and personal constraints are going to be harder to change than the technical details: MFA degree programs are different from LIS degree programs, funding for museums is partly collected from visitors but for libraries it is not, and the level of cataloging has been most detailed at museums and least detailed at archives. The social differences are long-standing and likely to persist. Michael Lesks' bio (from his website): In the 1960's I worked for the SMART project, wrote much of their retrieval code and did many of the retrieval experiments, as well as obtaining a PhD in Chemical Physics. In the 1970's I worked in the group that built Unix and I wrote Unix tools for word processing (tbl, refer), compiling (lex), and networking (uucp). In the 1980's I worked on specific information systems applications, mostly with geography (a system for driving directions) and dictionaries (a system for disambiguating words in context), as well as running a research group at Bellcore. And in the 1990s I have worked on a large chemical information system, the CORE project, with Cornell, OCLC, ACS and CAS. From 1998-2002 I was head of the Division of Information and Intelligent Systems at the National Science Foundation. Currently I am on the faculty of the Library and Information Science Department, SCILS (School of Communication, Information, and Library Studies), Rutgers University. I received the ``Flame'' award for lifetime achievement from Usenix in 1994, I am a Fellow of the ACM, and in 2005 I was elected to the National Academy of Engineering. ------------------------------------------------------------------- John Bradley Senior Lecturer Department of the Digital Humanities Faculty of Arts and Humanities King's College London +44 (0)20 7848 2680 --[6]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2015 18:01:54 +0100 From: Antonio Lieto Subject: EXTENDED DEADLINE Sixth Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN'15) - Atlanta, USA --CMN 15 - CALL FOR PAPERS - EXTENDED DEADLINE-- Sixth Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative (CMN'15) Special Focus: Cognitive Systems and Computational Narrative in association with: The Third Annual Conference on Advances in Cognitive Systems (ACS) May 26-28, 2015 Tech Square Research Building, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, USA http://narrative.csail.mit.edu/cmn15/ --IMPORTANT DATES-- February 20, 2015. **EXTENDED** Submission deadline.

ACS 2015. --WORKSHOP AIMS-- Narrative provides a framing structure for understanding, communicating, influencing, and organizing human experience. Systems for its analysis and production are increasingly found embedded in devices and processes, influencing decision-making in venues as diverse as politics, economics, intelligence, and cultural production. In order to appreciate this influence, it is becoming increasingly clear that research must address the technical implementation of narrative systems, the theoretical bases of these frameworks, and our general understanding of narrative at multiple levels: from the psychological and cognitive impact of narratives to our ability to model narrative responses computationally. Special Focus: Cognitive Systems This inter-disciplinary workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Papers should be relevant to issues fundamental to the computational modeling and scientific understanding of narrative. The workshop will have a special focus on the building cognitive systems that are distinguished by a focus on high-level cognition and decision making, reliance on rich, structured representations, a systems-level perspective, use of heuristics to handle complexity, and incorporation of insights about human thinking, meaning we especially welcome papers relevant to the cognitive aspects of narrative. Regardless of its topic, reported work should provide some sort of insight of use to computational modeling of narratives. Discussing technological applications or motivations is not prohibited, but is not required. We accept both finished research and more tentative exploratory work. --INVITED SPEAKER-- Janet H. Murray, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA --ILLUSTRATIVE TOPICS AND QUESTIONS-- - How is narrative knowledge captured and represented? - How are narratives indexed and retrieved? Is there a universal scheme for encoding episodic information? - How can we study narrative from a cognitive point of view? - Can narrative be subsumed by current models of higher-level cognition, or does it require new approaches? - How do narratives mediate our cognitive experiences, or affect our cognitive abilities? - What comprises the set of possible narrative arcs? Is there such a set? How many possible story lines are there? - Is narrative structure universal, or are there systematic differences in narratives from different cultures? - What makes narrative different from a list of events or facts? - How do conceptions and models of spatiality or temporality influence narrative and cognitive systems? - What are the details of the relationship between narrative and common sense? - What shared resources are required for the computational study of narrative? What should a “Story Bank” contain? - What shared resources and tools are available, or how can already-extant resources be adapted to the study of narrative? - What are appropriate formal or computational representations for narrative? - How should we evaluate computational and formal models of narrative? - How can narrative systems be applied to problem-solving? - What aspects of cross-linguistic work has narrative research neglected? --TYPES OF SUBMISSIONS-- - Long Papers (up to 16 pages, plus up to 2 pages of references) - Short Papers (up to 8 pages, plus up to 2 pages of references) - Position Papers (up to 4 pages, plus up to 1 page of references) --SUBMISSION INFORMATION-- CMN 2015 papers may be submitted in either of two formats: - LaTeX Papers should be prepared using the standard OASIcs template, using A4 paper: http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors.tgz - Word Paper should be prepared using the the CMN template: http://narrative.csail.mit.edu/cmn14/oasics-cmn2014-word-template_v1.docx Important: Papers may be submitted in MS Word format only for review.

Dear all, there is this interesting Call for paper Alter habilitas. Perception of disability among people. Towards the creation of an International Network of studies Miscellany and Round Table Alteritas, a well-known and accredited research institution devoted to the study of the interaction between people through time and space, is pleased to present an international publication project dealing with Perception of disability among people. «Disability is an evolving concept and […] results from the interaction between persons with impairments and attitudinal and environmental barriers that hinders their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others» (UN, Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, redacted 2006, in force from 2008). According to United Nations estimates, people with disabilities are about 10% of the world’s population. Moreover, road accidents, accidents at work, malnutrition and congenital or acquired diseases contribute to increase the number of impaired people in society. Furthermore, this significant percentage grows if we include people with psychomotor limitations caused by old age. Actually, disability is a complex phenomenon whose identification and definition depend not only on the physical, intellectual, mental or sensory impairment, but also on the social and cultural conditions. As recent studies have demonstrated, ways in which a society perceives the disabled person and how it behaves towards them come from criteria on which society builds bonds of inclusion and exclusion and breaks them down. Moreover, the idea of disability, because strictly connected with culture of people, is indissolubly linked to how they represent (and see) themselves. As a consequence, disability is physical and cultural condition that during history has changed; indeed, it is the socio-cultural contest that determines the spectrum of physical, sensorial, behavioural and relational differences which are believed to be problematical and, therefore, decides a solution in different fields (assistance, medical, social, political, pedagogical and so on). In that sense, it is necessary to think about: who was and who is the disabled person and how different societies have elaborated and elaborate disability. In this perspective, Alteritas, which promotes the research of contact forms among people from different origin and culture, plans to study how the disabled person is perceived in different countries, in the past as well in the present days. Thanks to a well-known and solid method of analysis focused on a multidisciplinary and historically open approach, it aims to examine the definition, the language and ways of attitudes towards the disabled person with the objective of better understanding the phenomenon and to create an effective comparison among the various ideas of disability and their solutions. Alteritas plans to build a wide network of interaction among people that agree with the project, with the intent to study the topic in detail as much as possible. The volume we propose here will therefore be made up of contributions dedicated to the ancient, medieval, modern and contemporary world and at the same time provides up-to-date data that can be used for the interpretation of the current situation. We welcome contributions from archaeologists, historians, philologists, sociologists, linguists, demographers, anthropologists, historians of religion, art, theatre and cinema and of other disciplines, that can provide different views and enriching insights on the subject. Suggested topics: - Terminology used to define disabled people (generic and/or related to specific disabilities) - Representation of disabled people (from literature, mythology, religion, iconography, theatre, cinema etc.) - Perception and self-perception of disability among different culture and though history - Legislation - Exclusion and/or inclusion policies - Public and/or private assistance - Technologies and biotechnologies - Different approaches of disciplines to disabled person studies - Causes of disability - Real and imaginary limitations Please send an abstract and a brief CV by 20 february 2015 to: s.carraro@progettoalteritas.org The acceptance of the contributions will be notified by 15 march 2015. The deadline for the definitive submission of written contributions will be 30 September 2015 (publication criteria will be sent to authors of the accepted contributions). A pre-print would be available to the authors by 31 March 2016. Most common languages of the European community are allowed. Accepted contributions will be subject to a double-blind peer review. The volume, provided with ISBN, will be published as e-book. A further audio-book format is planned. The volume will be presented with a round-table video conference in summer 2016. The definitive publication will be by the end of 2016 summer.

If so, please excuse the repetition. In 1987 I sat in on a seminar led by R. Narasimhan (1926-2007), known in India as the Bhisma of Computer Science and Technology, who was brought to the International Semiotics Institute in Toronto by Paul Bouissac. At the time he was more or less unknown in Canada. Bouissac had met him in India and was so impressed he arranged somehow to fund his trip to Toronto and his stay there. During this week-long seminar we sat in a room with a table, chairs and chalkboard. Narasimhan drew conceptual diagrams as we gradually picked apart what a machine would have to know to learn as a child. No keyboards, no screens, no processing power at all. It was exhilirating. Of course one needs physical machines for computer science. (Read Richard Hamming's Turing Award lecture on the subject.) But it is possible to do exciting work with the power of the mind -- in this case backed by a *very* powerful mind disciplined in the Indian intellectual tradition. It seems to me that we think all too little about algorithmic reasoning in the context of the humanities. Comments?

Participants in the panel(s) discuss aspects of digital humanities from various perspectives within the discipline of comparative literature and the fields of world literature(s) and comparative cultural studies. Owing to the current situation worldwide when fewer students are interested in the study of literature, digital humanities has promise for the social relevance of the humanities in research (e.g., data science, libraries), practice (e.g., digital publishing of journals and books), pedagogy (e.g., online and blended teaching), and matters technical. Please submit abstracts for presentation by 31 March 2015 on any aspect of digital humanities with regard to the relevance, uses, impact, etc., of digital humanities in the study of literature and culture to Steven Totosy de Zepetnek at totosysteven@purdue.edu & Graciela Boruszko at graciela.boruszko@pepperdine.edu. Following the submission of abstracts by the panel organizers, abstracts are evaluated by the ICLA/AILC and participants whose abstracts are accepted are notified by the Congress organizers. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2015 11:32:12 +0000 From: "Stilgoe, Jack" Subject: UCL STS seminar on Wednesday In-Reply-To: <20150206062125.41FE9803@digitalhumanities.org> Dear all, We're looking forward to seeing you at the next UCL STS Seminar on Wednesday 11th Feb. Professor Judy Wajcman will be joining us to discuss themes from her new book, Pressed for Time: The acceleration of life in digital capitalism. The seminar will take place in Darwin B15, starting at 4:30, with tea and coffee available from 4pm. Best Jack About the book... The technologically tethered, iPhone-addicted figure is an image we can easily conjure. Most of us complain that there aren't enough hours in the day and there are too many e-mails in our thumb-accessible inboxes. This widespread perception that life is faster than it used to be is now ingrained in our culture, and smartphones and the Internet are continually being blamed. But isn't the sole purpose of the smartphone to give us such quick access to people and information that we'll be free to do other things? Isn't technology supposed to make our lives easier? In Pressed for Time, Judy Wajcman explains why we immediately interpret our experiences with digital technology as inexorably accelerating everyday life. She argues that we are not mere hostages to communication devices, and the sense of always being rushed is the result of the priorities and parameters we ourselves set rather than the machines that help us set them. Indeed, being busy and having action-packed lives has become valorized by our productivity-driven culture. Wajcman offers a bracing historical perspective, exploring the commodification of clock time, and how the speed of the industrial age became identified with progress. She also delves into the ways time use differs for diverse groups in modern societies, showing how changes in work patterns, family arrangements, and parenting all affect time stress. Bringing together empirical research on time use and theoretical debates about dramatic digital developments, this accessible and engaging book will leave readers better versed in how to use technology to navigate life's fast lane.? --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Feb 2015 09:20:59 -0500 From: Anna Kazantseva Subject: Fourth Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Literature -- Call for Papers Number Three and Last In-Reply-To: <20150206062125.41FE9803@digitalhumanities.org> Final Call for Papers Fourth Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Literature June 4, 2015 co-located with 2015 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics – Human Language Technologies (NAACL HLT 2015) Boulder, Colorado, USA Literature is special, so the analysis of literary texts must be, too. A great venue for such special papers (-:) is the Fourth Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Literature, co-located with NAACL HLT 2015. It will take place in Denver on June 4th. Papers are due by March 4th. Practically everything we can tell you about the workshop appears on its Web site. Go directly to https://sites.google.com/site/clfl2015/call-for-papers for a list of exciting topics of interest; if your favourite literature-related NLP activity is not there, tell us, and we will add it pronto. The workshop will feature two excellent invited speakers: Nick Montfort (http://nickm.com/) and Matthew Jockers (http://www.matthewjockers.net/). Just to tell you what to expect, here are some of the topics from the past workshops: stylistic segmentation of poetry; style, sentiment and imagery in contemporary poetry; social network analysis of "Alice in Wonderland"; learning to extract quotable phrases; recognition of classical Arabic poems; a syntactic investigation of chick lit and literature; clustering voices in "The Waste Land"; parsing screenplays for extracting social networks from movies; structure-based clustering of novels; generating music from literature.

The Historical Thesaurus takes all the words in the 1300-year history of English and arranges them into a vast hierarchy of meanings to form a unique record of the language and its speakers. The Thesaurus is not just the world's only historical thesaurus, but it is also by far the largest and most complete thesaurus of English in any period, containing 793,742 word forms arranged into 225,131 meaning categories. To create this resource, a team of over 230 people spent more than four decades dismantling dictionaries - including the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary - into their constituent words, noting their meanings and dates of use, and then reassembling the words into wholly new groupings based on those meanings. The new website presents the revised version 4.2 of the data, and is designed to be used on mobile phones and tablets as well as desktop and laptop computers. The site contains comprehensive About pages with information, photographs and links to further details on the project and its history. We hope the new website is of use to linguists, historians, literary scholars, digital humanists, and the scholarly community at large.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 09:17:57 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: philology Allow me to draw your attention via a review in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2015.02.18 (http://www.bmcreview.org/2015/02/20150218.html) to the book by James Turner, Philology: The Forgotten Origins of the Modern Humanities (Princeton NJ: Princeton University Press, 2014. The link with digital humanities if not already clear is provided by Jerome McGann, "Philology in a new key", Critical Inquiry 39 (Winter 2013), which has found its way into his very fine book, A New Republic of Letters: Memory and Scholarship in the Age of Digital Reproduction (Harvard, 2014), under the title "The inorganic organisation of memory", as Chapter 2. Responses to Alan Liu's "Where is the cultural criticism in the digital humanities" are to be found. An abundance of good work on the Early Modern period has shown that our humanities and sciences came out of a great change that among other things involved the printing press. The best histories we might call (after G.E.R. Lloyd's characterisation of other cultural phenomena) multidimensional, showing technology's complex entanglements rather than a straightforward causative force. This to my mind makes an adequate response challenging enough to be worthy of our best minds and our energetic -- but always intelligent -- advocacy. What makes digital humanities so compelling (to me at least) is that this responding and advocacy don't go it alone but are intermixed in the best situations with hands-on experience of tools and laboratory methods. The spirit of the Early Modern revolutionaries is with us in this: to quote Ludovico Vives, "Peasants and artisans know nature better than so many philosophers". A tricky statement, of course. He himself was a philosopher, writing about a new kind that involved something other than disputation with reference to established authority. So also the motto of the Royal Society, "nullius in verba", roughly, "take no one's word for it". The Royal Society got involved with a fair bit of silliness but helped to create the intellectual world we know. Let's hope that in growing up digital humanities neither abandons the socially less prestigious hands-on nor turns its back on its inheritance of reasoning about the world. Comments?

Registration is also now open. *Important dates: * Paper submission deadline February 27th 2015 Music submission deadline February 27th 2015 Notification of acceptance March 27th 2015 Revisions and camera ready copy deadline May 1st 2015 *Keynote speakers* Hugues Vinet (IRCAM) David Rosenboom (CalArts) Eduardo Miranda (ICCMR) The 11th International Symposium on Computer Music Multidisciplinary Research (CMMR) Music, Mind, and Embodiment will take place in Plymouth, UK on 16-19 June 2015. Plymouth is a vibrant ocean city with a global history which stretches back hundreds of years. The symposium will include a series of concerts, a satellite workshop on Music Neurotechnology, and an unforgettable boat cruise and banquet trip around the iconic Plymouth Hoe from the Barbican Harbour, site of the Mayflower Steps (portrayed in the logo above), from which the Pilgrim Fathers left England to settle in North America in 1620. The Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR) is hosting the symposium on campus in the center of Plymouth, in their newly completed multi-million pound headquarters, "The House", which includes a multichannel diffusion suite and full scale auditorium for concert performances. *Music, Mind, and Embodiment* This year, we encourage the submission of contributions on the theme of Music, Mind, and Embodiment. The notion of mind and embodiment is important in any field related to sound and music and is therefore well adapted to this interdisciplinary conference, since it can be studied from different standpoints spanning from physics to perceptual and cognitive considerations, and from scientific to artistic approaches. Some central questions of interest in this context are (but not necessarily restricted to) : How to identify perceptually relevant signal properties linked to music (for example, neurophysiologically or biologically influenced music creation, performance, or analysis?) How to define new timbre descriptors that characterise perceptual or emotional characteristics? What is the link between mind and embodiment in musical performance, interpretation, and improvisation? How can gesture and embodiment be used as a control signal for music generation, sonification, and performance? How can multiple modalities be characterised in interdisciplinary musical contexts (vision, audition, kinesthetic, bio- and neuro- informed approaches)? Contributions on other topics as described in the call for contributions are also welcome. Submission deadline is February 27th 2015.

We hope you will be able to join us, and please share this message with anyone you think may be interested. We will be live-streaming the event on the website blog for those of you who cannot be in London (http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/). *Tracking the Emergence of New Words across Time and Space* *Abstract*: Very little is known about how new words spread in language. New words are regularly identified by lexicographers, linguists, and the news media, but until recently we have not had access to sufficiently large geo-coded and time-stamped datasets that would allow for the detailed analysis of the geographical diffusion of lexical items in real time. However, with the rise of social media and smart phones, it is now possible to compile very large corpora that meet these requirements, allowing for new words to be identified and mapped across time and space and for the first time. In this presentation, I identify numerous newly emerging words based on a multi-billion word corpus of American tweets from 2013-2014 and map their geographical spread across the United States. *Speaker: Dr Jack Grieve* is a lecturer in forensic linguistics at Aston University. He specialises in the quantitative analysis of language variation and change in large corpora, and is especially interested in regional grammatical and lexical variation in English. His work explores new methods for collecting and analysing dialect data. Our full seminar list can be found on the IHR website: http://www.history.ac.uk/events/seminars/321 --- We hope to see you there.

We encourage you to emphasize in your submission a component of the project that came out particularly well and/or represented a significant challenge (e.g. data visualization, accessibility compliance, data cleaning and preparation). Readers should be able to come away with a sense of how they could begin to tackle a similar challenge. In spirit, these submissions should be inspired by Miriam Posner’s “How did they make that http://miriamposner.com/blog/how-did-they-make-that/ ?”. The goal is to publish 1-3 procedural descriptions in each issue of DHCommons Journal. Submissions should be between 600-1000 words in length. Illustrative images are strongly encouraged. Submissions must correspond to digital projects that are publicly available. All submissions will be peer reviewed. Attempts will be made to select submissions in line with the theme of the overall issue. Authors of accepted submissions will be asked to participate in an interview about their project that will be published alongside their piece. The interview will provide an opportunity to describe the project aspect and the project as a whole in more depth. Submission Guidelines Your submission should address each of the points below: * Timeframe from conception to implementation * Technical skills needed * Competencies needed (e.g. project management, data management, etc.) * Infrastructure needed * Funding needed, if any * Pointers to resources that build required skills and competencies (e.g. relevant blog posts, Programming Historian lessons, etc.) Submission process 1.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2015 14:57:07 +0000 From: Melissa Terras Subject: Fully funded doctoral studentship: An optimised system for Multispectral Imaging of Documentary Material UCL Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering and UCL Centre for Digital Humanities are interested in multispectral imaging of documents to enhance the reading of lost text, corrections and watermarks. In this project, you will characterise and validate multispectral imaging for use in the cultural and heritage sectors. Research questions: . What is the optimal way to acquire and analyse multispectral imaging data of archival material? . Does a single optimal approach exist, or are bespoke approaches for different challenges required? . How can we optimise the process so that archives and libraries can acquire multispectral images without input from specialist imaging scientists? This cross-disciplinary project applies multispectral imaging techniques to the emerging field of digital humanities. You will develop and characterise image acquisition and analysis techniques to reveal features on the manuscripts that are not visible to the naked eye. You will then optimise these techniques for different substrates, inks and materials before developing standards for capture or processing multispectral imaging in libraries, archives, galleries and museums. These standards do not currently exist. You will work with conservators and archivists from the British Library and London Metropolitan Archives, and with industry specialists, RB Toth Associates. Effective multispectral imaging includes not just the collection of quality images, but also the ability to manage and exploit large amounts of integrated data and metadata, which provides additional opportunities for research. This could include images or data collected with other modalities, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectrometers. The ideal student will have experience and qualifications in areas such as maths, computer programming, and practical lab skills; they will be curious with an enthusiasm for open-ended problem-solving in new, challenging areas, and have an interest in museums, historical manuscripts and heritage artefacts.

With the rapid development of digital humanities research, there has been a commensurate rise in the teaching of digital humanities theories, methods, contents, and technologies. The International Digital Humanities Training Network -- an interest group comprised of organizers of Digital Humanities Training Institutes and Schools, formalised as the ADHO Training Group -- invites digital humanists to join us in investigating the relationship of pedagogy to the digital humanities. This mini-conference is designed to facilitate reporting on innovations in the practice of digital humanities teaching---namely the construction of syllabi, assignments, exercises, principles of learning, assessments, etc. that have demonstrated effectiveness in the undergraduate, graduate, or community classroom. Importantly, this will not be a conference of invited lectures or formal papers. Instead we seek three distinct types of submissions for consideration and peer-review: 1. Pre-circulated pedagogical materials for critique and discussion. We are particularly interested in the submission of specific tutorials or exercises that attendees might complete prior to attending the mini-conference. Completed syllabi are also welcome. These materials will be presented in a poster-style session at the mini-conference where instructors receive feedback from the attendees. 2. Lightning-talks on innovative assessment techniques. What types of assessment should occur in digital humanities courses? And, significantly, how might these assessment practices challenge existing university or community-based outcomes? We particularly desire talks that include involvement of students who were assessed. 3. Concentrated panel discussions on the implementation of digital humanities pedagogy across borders, be they disciplinary, institutional, or national. We seek panel proposals of multiple scholars who are working together across disciplinary, institutional, or national boundaries to implement, support, and sustain the same pedagogical approach or curriculum. Innovations in Digital Humanities Pedagogy invites applications from faculty, staff, graduate students, and undergraduates, as well as the general public with a serious interest in digital humanities pedagogy. Importantly, Innovations in Digital Humanities Pedagogy will not accept duplicate submissions from those already on the 2015 DH Conference program; nor will we entertain straight demonstrations of technologies. Applicants should note any previous conference, workshop, or talk submissions that use material under consideration for the mini-conference. Please send proposals of 1-2 pages with the subject heading “DH Pedagogy” to Ray Siemens, siemens@uvic.ca, by 1 March 2015. Participants will be chosen by the Advisory Board for the International Digital Humanities Training Network based on the following criteria: 1) innovative nature of submission; 2) quality of proposed work; and 3) potential impact of presentation. This gathering includes a member meeting of the International Digital Humanities Training Network / ADHO Training Group.

Relatively recently I have run across this question in another form, specifically addressing application to literary studies: has digital humanities made any difference at all to mainstream scholarship? I am collecting expressions of such anxieties from the first decade of this century to the present and would be very grateful for any pointers, suggestions and comments. These expressions do not have to be intelligent or even argued. My interest is in the fact that they occur and when they occur. Many thanks.

In-Reply-To: <20150212120713.E7AF79F8@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard: I am unqualified to have an adequate handle on mainstream scholarship in the humanities. However, from what I have read within the digital humanities (DH), a key point of argument is that the word “scholarship” within the humanities is evolving. And so on to the question, “has the digital humanities made any difference at all to mainstream scholarship?” I don’t know, but perhaps digital humanities is doing something more dramatic, and more vital, which is to redefine and extend the very nature of scholarship. Crafting a humanistically-sensitive, digitally-enabled human interface, which is new, and writing about it is a form of scholarship. That is what I meant by my recent blog post regarding scholarship in engineering. Isn’t that what the debate is about or have I missed the boat? Perhaps “mainstream scholarship" is undergoing an evolutionary shift in the humanities? Some of the criticisms against DH falter because they employ the wrong metric, assuming that scholarship is limited to one type of discourse. p On Feb 12, 2015, at 6:07 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 727. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 11:48:40 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: evidence of value and related anxieties > > A few years ago, at least in the UK, an effort was made -- not the first > of them -- to assess whether the application of digital methods had > produced "evidence of value".

In-Reply-To: <20150212120713.E7AF79F8@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard McCarty The obvious example of evidence of value that occurs to me is the recent reshaping of the Shakespeare canon by the inclusion of new plays we didn't know were his and the realization that plays that the First Folio says are solely his are in fact collaborations. These achievements are, in almost every case, the results of digital humanities scholarship. Mainstream Shakepeare studies is certainly taking notice. Almost no-one who's up-to-date now writes literary criticism of Titus Andronicus, Timon of Athens, 1 Henry 6, Pericles, The Two Noble Kinsmen, or Henry 8 on the assumption that they can attribute what is in those plays to Shakespeare alone. That is, they either check who wrote which bit, or they at least attribute the agency to "Shakespeare and Fletcher" or "Shakespeare and Peele" and so on. If they really know what they're talking about, they take the same care regarding 2 Henry 6, 3 Henry 6, Macbeth, Measure for Measure, The Spanish Tragedy, and Arden of Faversham too.

I think this notion of value and most particularly, the value of the digital humanities in scholarship, is still prevalent and I think, generally, there is a strong whiff of digitisation as a means to secure funding, and to subscribe to Government notions of value - digitisation as appeasement. Most of the academics I spoke to had used digital artefacts, however, and most of them acknowledged that they had had a real impact on their research. But it was more as a tool to make the process faster, and most of them relied upon the physical artefact ultimately, as they felt it gave their work more credence. Very few said they would cite a digitised artefact. I'm not sure that answers your question, but I hope it raises some comments!

The beliefs and lifestyles of those on the margins of society are frequently more revealing of the core values of a culture than its leaders and established interpreters. In their persistent, unobtrusive subcultures, or their prominent demands for reform and re-evaluation, such men and women hold up a mirror to those hegemonic structures from which they deviate. The Library is rich in the personal libraries and archives of many such figures – anti-censorship campaigners, paranormal investigators and practitioners, naturists, political radicals, and campaigning teetotallers. To honour their discounted unorthodoxy, we are delighted to hold a one-day symposium on the life, work and impact of any marginal thinkers or activists from any discipline. Proposals for 20 minute papers are invited from all researchers, subjects may include: -Public ridicule or loss of professional standing as a result of marginal beliefs -Religious or spiritual outsiders, from Wicca to Satanism -The co-opting of mainstream discourses to support irregular beliefs, such as medical science in anti-inoculation campaigns -Those who question accepted history, from the moon landing to political assassinations -Those who claim to speak for the non-human, whether animal or ethereal Proposals should be received by Monday 9 March 2015, and should be sent, along with any enquiries, to shl.officeadmin@london.ac.uk --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 20:57:47 +0000 From: Gabriel Egan Subject: UPDATED CFP: European Society for Textual Scholarship In-Reply-To: <20150211070356.2E9039F0@digitalhumanities.org> Apologies to HUMANISTS for sending a Call for Papers for the European Society for Textual Scholarship meeting without the call deadline. It's 15 May 2015. A revised CFP follows. "Users of Scholarly Editions: Editorial Anticipations of Reading, Studying and Consulting" The 12th Annual Conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) will be held at the Centre for Textual Studies, De Montfort University, Leicester England 19-21 November 2015 The ESTS returns to Leicester where it was founded in 2001 to stage a major collective investigation into the state and future of scholarly editing. Our focus is the needs of users of scholarly editions and proposals for 20 minute papers are invited on topics such as: * Are users' needs changing? * How does edition design shape use? * Stability in print and digital * Where are we in the study of mise en page? * Facsimiles and scholarly editions * Collaborative and social editing * Editorial specialization in the digital age * APIs and mashups versus anticipation * The logic of annotation * Is zero the best price point for editions? * Readers versus users * Can we assume a general reader'? * Indexing and annotation versus search * Editors, publishers and Open Access * Is technology changing editing? * Digital editions or digital archives? * Are editions ever obsolete? * Scholarly editions versus popular editions * Any other topic related to the use or users of scholarly editions Plenary Speaker (subject to confirmation) include: Hans Walter Gabler (Munich University) David Greetham (City University of New York) Tim William Machan (Notre Dame University) Gary Taylor (Florida State University) Elaine Treharne (Stanford University) Andrew Prescott (Glasgow University) Hands-on workshops will be given on setting movable type, letterpress printing, and getting started with XML.

Authorial attribution, already mentioned in this discussion, is usually our favourite solace, but let me spoil the fun just a little. First, our mainstream post-(you-name-it) colleagues are rarely excited, since they believe in the death of the authors; second - please do not hate me - I have become, in my dotage, perhaps, slightly skeptical of the various attributions of bits and pieces in Shakespeare. The methods that I use - my fault, of course - are simply not accurate enough for samples of that size. So if I were to look for digital, or, rather, quantitative contributions to literary studies that (should) have been noticed by the general literary studies community, I'd go for Burrows's multivariate most-frequent-words-based approaches; but even more so for Moretti's concept of distant reading and the direction this concept is taking in Matt Jockers and others.

The emergence of computer-assisted methods for the making of genetic hypotheses concerning textual traditions: notably (but not exclusively), the phylogenetic systems used by numerous editors. Google "phylogenetic analysis textual traditions” and you will get a bunch. Shaw’s edition of the Commedia uses these methods heavily (http://www.sd-editions.com/Commedia/index.html) in the context of what is otherwise a classic philological edition. 2. The creation of manuscript catalogues in digital form, now commonly using the TEI P5 “manuscript description” encodings. One might reckon the number of manuscript descriptions made to this encoding in the tens of thousands, likely hundreds of thousands. 3. The emergence of new models and methods of scholarly editing. This is an area of lively controversy: itself a sign that digital methods have shifted the agenda. And that’s before we start on big data, new models of collaboration, bilah, bilah. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2015 12:54:34 +0100 From: Joris van Zundert Subject: Re: 28.728 evidence of value In-Reply-To: <20150213074059.866997D1@digitalhumanities.org> What Paul Fishwick says!

That is > what I meant by my recent blog post regarding scholarship in engineering. What Paul describes is the kind of digital project(s) that I'm trying to develop (along with most everyone on this listserv): "humanistically-sensitive, digitally-enabled human interface(s)" for cultural materials. The (my) goal is to enable and encourage an audience (scholarly or general public) to engage themselves with cultural artifacts that are representative of a wide range of ideas. What I try to avoid is the /subject-specific analysis /part of scholarship - formulating theories, opinions and conclusions based on that information. I'm providing a tool for the "true historian"/scholar, and even the shortcomings of that tool may be of interest to an expert with sophisticated subject knowledge. An informational viz sort-of-fellow with an MLS, I'm focused on developing new media "entry points" to cultural artifacts that helps users explore knowledge related to those artifacts. This involves a lot of research, mining, aggregating, processing, layering and presentation of information. Too tall an order, but that's the practical goal. Through presenting the "evidence" my unconscious prejudices will unavoidably generate problematic arguments and theories, but perhaps a true expert will see the gaping holes better than I can. Then I can later fix all the things I messed up (because this is the /iterative/ age), hopefully with footnotes acknowledging the source of every (and I mean /every/) idea. Or, someone else can create a better tool that renders my effort obsolete, at which point I go and have a beer. So, I'm hoping to offer Humanities materials digitally presented in an accessible, explorable and interesting way. To me this effort has /*"value"* /for humanists, but I'm not sure how to characterize it, because it is /not /driven by my presenting "new" ideas or information, or even having a sophisticated understanding of the target subject. I'm driven primarily by an information-processing//methodology - the target is secondary ("it's all widgets").

This combination will allow a wealth of previous research and content to be used in investigating the provenance of newly documented artefacts and advance the state of the art on visual analytic technologies to support other research scenarios (for example, the discoverability of 3D content on the web). As a result, it will increase the range, volume and availability of linked digital resources related to Digital Humanities, whilst also addressing the development of key underpinning research methods whose applicability can be migrated to different application domains, such as heritage, tourism, computer games, inspiring designers and 3D printing. The aim of the PhD is to develop a methodology for improving the creation of digital repositories with 3D content and for the automatic linking of 3D content to other related data whether from specific local archives or on the web.

I am most grateful. But what really interests me is the asking of the question rather than good answers to it. I want to know who in the 21st Century is asking this question (which has been pestering us since the 1960s), from the perspective of which disciplines, and I am particularly interested in how the question is asked. The more anxiety in the questioning the better. For my purposes worries are far more productive than contentment however justified. So, who's nervous, dissatisfied, gloomy about our prospects, and what exactly are their concerns? How are they expressing their nervousness? Our colleagues in AI and robotics are no less successful today in worrying the public than they were decades ago, when the technology was far less sophisticated. I say that if we aren't making people nervous then we're doing something wrong :-).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 14 Feb 2015 23:24:26 +0000 From: Geoffrey Rockwell Subject: JADH Conference Call for Papers "Encoding Cultural Resources" The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities is pleased to announce its fifth annual conference, to be held at Kyoto University, Japan, September 1-3, 2015. http://www.jadh.org/JADH2015/ The conference will feature posters, papers and panels. We invite proposals on all aspects of digital humanities globally, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with practices that aim to cross borders, for example, between academic fields, media, languages, cultures, and so on, as related to the field of digital humanities. While the digitization of cultural resources has been widely carried out in Japan, it has been of only the most prized treasures and providing basic metadata rather than full-text encoding of a wider range of cultural resources. This situation has come about due to several environmental difficulties, including issues of compatibility of character encoding, lack of characters in the available character encoding standards, limitations in access to powerful computers, narrow bandwidth of network, weak IT literacy of humanities scholars, and so on. However, because the environment for encoding various cultural resources has gradually been improving, several projects have begun to more deeply encode their resources. To encourage and support this trend, we welcome presentations of studies and examples that treat the encoding of cultural resources in the field of digital humanities, such as TEI, EAD, KML, ePub, HTML5, RDF, LOD and so on. By so doing, we hope to contribute to the spread of the application of encoding in various stages. With this as our suggested central focus, we nonetheless welcome papers on a broad range of DH topics. For example: Research issues, including data mining, information design and modeling, software studies, and humanities research enabled through the digital medium; computer-based research and computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities, and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship. Some examples might include text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning, and endangered languages; the digital arts, architecture, music, film, theater, new media and related areas; the creation and curation of humanities digital resources; the role of digital humanities in academic curricula; The range of topics covered by Digital Humanities can also be consulted in the journal Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (http://dsh.oxfordjournals.org/about), Oxford University Press. The deadline for submission of abstracts is May 7, 2015. Presenters will be notified of acceptance on 30 May 2015. Abstracts should be of approximately 750 words in length in English, including title. The following information should clearly be stated (in either an attached file, or the email body): 1. The type of presentation (poster, short paper, long paper or panel) 2. Title 3. A list of keywords (up to five) 4. The name, status and affiliation of the presenter(s) 5. Contact email address 6. Postal address 7. A career description of no more than 100 words * Abstract should not include above information--except for the title. Please send abstracts to conf2015 [ at ] jadh.org by May 7, 2015. Type of proposals: 1. Poster presentations Poster presentations may include work-in-progress on any of the topics described above as well as demonstrations of computer technology, software and digital projects. A separate poster session will open the conference, during which time presenters should be on-hand to explain their work, share their ideas with other delegates, and answer questions. Posters will also be on displayed at various times during the conference, and presenters are encouraged to provide material and handouts with more detailed information and URLs. 2. Short papers Short papers are allocated 10 minutes (plus 5 minutes for questions) and are suitable for describing work-in-progress and reporting on shorter experiments and software and tools in early stages of development. 3. Long papers Long papers are allocated 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes for questions) and are intended for presenting substantial unpublished research and reporting on significant new digital resources or methodologies. 4. Panels Panels (90 minutes) are comprised of either: (a) Three long papers on a joint theme. All abstracts should be submitted together with a statement, of approximately 750 words, outlining the session topic and its relevance to current directions in the digital humanities; or (b) A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organize should submit a 750-words outline of the topic session and its relevance to current directions in the digital humanities as well as an indication from all speakers of their willingness to participate.

Of course that doesn't affect philosophical discourse about digital humanities but has great impact on big data processing done within them. "Mistakes" within the base of a digital, let's say linguistic, investigation will have by far greater implications than those of a classic one. A protecting argument would be that these mistakes can be revised in a very short time though, without having to discard the initial material.

On commenting on the last one, Alex Gill called these types of publications "straw-manned […] genre-pieces". I'd say that's fair enough. I think we are hard pushed to find real anxiety explicitly in writing, but I'd be delighted to be proven wrong! I cannot escape the feeling that real anxiety is often covertly implicit in misconceptions of what other-than-hermeneutic approaches are trying to explore. It is easy to hide anxiety behind seemingly genuine academic argument. However, it is equally not academic fair play to accuse and suspect such writings to be just based on luddite anxiety. Genuine methodological concern should be valued. It is rather unfortunate in my opinion that anxiety informed pieces induce poor argument and less than helpful critical thinking. These genre-pieces divide minds rather than that they contribute to the identification of real problems and discourse. Our computational tools are at their core still highly hermeneutically uninformed and inadequate. That is a challenge that needs to be shared rather than that it would be taken as a cause to incite methodological trench warfare. All the best --Joris -- Drs.

If you will permit me to follow up with some of the points to gain a deeper understanding of the issues that you raise. You state: > a pretty widespread scepticism towards quantitative-empirical data in > general can be framed in the well-known saying "don't believe in > statistical conclusions that you didn't influence by yourself”. Can you document this “widespread criticism?” Let us examine whether the skepticism has merit. I recently observed a note by Willard that captured the essence of the Royal Society: “Nullius in verba” which translates as “take nobody’s word for it.” In millennia prior to this enlightenment, the idea of truth was unfortunately dictated by those in “authority” or “power.” How could returning to a culture of “I don’t believe X because I wasn’t an influence for X” be of any merit in the academy? Would, for example, someone be skeptical of flying an airplane on the argument that all of the tests done on the airplane (most of which were quantitative) to make it safe to fly were not in the presence of that person? How are quantitative methods employed in the humanities any different? Perhaps I have misunderstood the argument, and await clarification. Thank you. -paul On Feb 16, 2015, at 12:23 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 735. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sun, 15 Feb 2015 09:23:09 +0100 > From: Daniel Herzig > Subject: Re: 28.733 evidence of value is evidence of worry > In-Reply-To: <20150215072358.310A9A05@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Dear Willard, > > a pretty widespread scepticism towards quantitative-empirical data in > general can be framed in the well-known saying "don't believe in > statistical conclusions that you didn't influence by yourself". > > Of course that doesn't affect philosophical discourse about digital > humanities but has great impact on big data processing done within them. > "Mistakes" within the base of a digital, let's say linguistic, > investigation will have by far greater implications than those of a > classic one.

Some of these achievements do that. We can conceive of techniques to test the authenticity of works of Shakespeare that succeed using whatever tools are at hand. But what about specific technical tools that depend on their technologies for their success? As Vint Cerf sad in a recent article on BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-31450389 we may be heading for a digital dark age in which current technologies and the texts recorded in them will not be understood in the future. That worries me.

John Bradley and Gabriel Bodard ------------------------------------------------------------------- When: Feb 17th February (Tuesday): 18:15 start Where: Anatomy Museum, Strand Building 6th Floor (http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/campuses/download/KBLevel6forweb.pdf) King's College London, Strand London WC2R 2LS Of Features and Models: a reflexive account of image processing experiences across classics and trauma surgery Ségolène Tarte (Oxford e-Research Centre) Image processing specialists rarely work on their own, entirely disconnected from the domains of application for which the image processing algorithms are required. In this talk, I will look at my experience of developing image processing approaches for computer-assisted orthopaedic and trauma surgery, for computer-assisted radiotherapy, and for Classics. As a starting point I will present a few examples of the problems that specialised terminologies represent in such collaborative contexts (``feature'' in palaeography vs. in image processing; ``model'' in trauma surgery vs. in image processing). These frequent terminological issues are only symptomatic however of the difficulties presented by the process of knowledge exchange. In fact, depending on their context, even common words take on a different meaning and carry with them a baggage of hidden field-specific assumptions and expectations that need clarification in order for collaborations to be fruitful. Through the polysemy of words, it is actually the variety of modes of knowledge creation that is expressed, opening the door to a reflection on field-specific epistemologies - I will present overviews of the papyrological and surgical ways of thinking, and where and how, with the support of the cognitive sciences and of ethnography, image processing might find its place. Tuning the field-specific narratives has often been an efficient way to establish fruitful collaborations. I will illustrate this claim with examples spanning various degrees of success, ranging from papyrology to oncology, and to the growing field of big data engineering. ----------------------------------------------------------------- John Bradley Senior Lecturer Department of the Digital Humanities Faculty of Arts and Humanities King's College London +44 (0)20 7848 2680 _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id ECE7AA84; Tue, 17 Feb 2015 07:46:35 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3CFDF9C5; Tue, 17 Feb 2015 07:46:35 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A74797C0; Tue, 17 Feb 2015 07:46:32 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150217064632.A74797C0@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 17 Feb 2015 07:46:32 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.739 of events you can't get to X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150217064635.4119.43924@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 739.

So, you may sometimes wonder in frustration, what's the point of advertising local events on Humanist? While it is true that Londoners, New Yorkers and others in big cities can attract locals to attend their events by posting notices on Humanist, the point for me is to give everyone a more or less representative sampling of what's going on in the world in digital humanities. Where are the hotspots, where the new locations? What are people meeting to talk about? I now recall, however, that my brother, who lives in California, has been known to order from a place in Manhattan a particularly delicious cheesecake, which, he swears, has subsequently (I think the next day) actually arrived.

Hello Humanist(s), Providing historical operating systems and/or software to support research, either as images or through emulation, is being considered as part of some cloud development work to support the digital humanities that Compute Canada is doing.  We are just considering it at this point so it would be valuable to have input from this community on the following four questions: 1. What research do you know of that is currently being done (or that has been done) with or around historical software? 2. What research do you know of that is currently not being done because it does not have access to easily deployable historical software or operating systems? 3. What historical operating systems would be the most important to support? 4. What historical software would be the most important to include? Thank you in advance for any advice or opinions on this matter! -John John Simpson, PhD Digital Humanities Specialist / Spécialiste en humanités numériques Compute Canada _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 9CFD2ABB; Wed, 18 Feb 2015 07:50:27 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 06C0AAB0; Wed, 18 Feb 2015 07:50:27 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1D809AAC; Wed, 18 Feb 2015 07:50:25 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150218065025.1D809AAC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2015 07:50:25 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.742 evidence of value is evidence of worry X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150218065027.4790.86200@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 742.

I didn't go into detail, because I assumed the topic to be a survey of common critical statements, that can arise discussing computing in the humanities. Judging by your question and the links found in the last issue of this letter, I understand to be a bit off-topic. Nevertheless I'd like to explain myself. My statement below is a didactical one, taken from a seminar focussing on statistical methods in general. In short, it's not meant to criticize "statistical conclusions" but to be a warning for (re)using them without analyzing the underlying axioms properly. As an example: even a skeptic of deep cultural differences reflected in language structures can be tempted to see a "kernel of truth" in an argument, that states a "higher relevance of 'friendship'" in Russian-language than in English-language cultures, if the right empirical data is presented. Who would reject some truth about the argument, if the term "friend" appears some 300 times in 10 000 words in English corpora, while the term "drug" (a closely corresponding term to "friend" in Russian) appears almost 1000 times in equivalent Russian corpora? In fact, if common phrases like "drug k drugu", "drug na druga", "drug s druga", etc. ("to/at/away from each other") are removed from the results, the terms "friend" and "drug" pretty much equal each other regarding their relative frequencies on a comparable semantic level. If the last paragraph is not delivered with the argument regarding culturally-specific relevances, quantitative argumentation can seriously blur scientific evidence. To sum up - my post was not aimed at expressing skepticism about quantitative methods in humanities (rather the opposite), but at the growing complexity of traceability, once humanistic knowledge is transferred to numbers. Thank you for mentioning "Nullius in verba", I didn't know that one. If you permit me I'd even expand it to "nullius in verba et numeri (si non dicit quid numeravi)". I hope I could clarify my point of view! Best regards, Daniel > Dear Daniel: > > I find your post interesting. If you will > permit me to follow up with some of the points to gain a deeper > understanding of the issues that you raise. You state: > >> a pretty widespread scepticism towards quantitative-empirical data in >> general can be framed in the well-known saying "don't believe in >> statistical conclusions that you didn't influence by yourself". > > Can you document this "widespread criticism?"

What existing tools and platforms stimulate knowledge creation across communities? In the digital age, what role do scholars play in inspiring, developing, or harnessing social knowledge creation? This one day event, “Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities,” will provoke conversation and stimulate activity around issues of social knowledge creation. We welcome researchers, students, and practitioners who wish to engage intellectually with this topic, as well as to do some hands-on experimentation with related practices and initiatives. Featured events include: • Opening presentations by leading figures in this area • Lightning talks, where authors present 4 minute versions of longer papers 
that have been circulated prior to the gathering, followed by a brief discussion (papers may be 
conceptual, theoretical, application-oriented, and more) • Aligned workshops, where session leaders present tools and platforms for social knowledge creation and attendees have the opportunity to play and experiment in this environment Proposals for lightning papers or aligned workshops should contain a title, an abstract (of approximately 500–750 words, plus list of works cited), and the names, affiliations, and website URLs of any presenters. Fuller papers will be solicited after proposal acceptance for circulation approximately 6 weeks in advance of the event. We are pleased to welcome proposals in all languages of our community, although we note that the chief working language of past gatherings has been English. Please send proposals on or before March 1st 2015 to Alyssa Arbuckle at alyssaarbuckle [at] gmail [dot] com. “Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities” is co-sponsored by the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL), Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE), Iter Community, and Iter: Gateway to the Renaissance.

I've included the abstract and submission info below. If you know of anyone who might be interested, could you pass it on? Or if YOU'RE interested, send something our way. (Submission info here: http://www.4sonline.org/meeting; deadline is March 29, 2015.) Really excited about this year's 4S theme of making and doing. Lots of interesting open panels. You can check them out here: http://www.4sonline.org/meeting/open_sessions. Thanks, ~Amy -------------------- Materialities of the Digital Much popular discourse positions digital technologies as either phantom or prosthetic—presence without substance, or extension that enables new experience of the world. Think: Twitter and Google Glass. This phantom/prosthetic dichotomy is a curious one, one that demands scrutiny and challenge. What are the materialities of the digital? And what do we embrace—and hide—when we position them so? We investigate materiality broadly here. We include hardware and network materialities such as data centers and undersea cables, transistors and LCD crystals. Such materialities are often transmuted by metaphor: the cloud, the highway, the screen. Why are these materialities treated as elusive? What details are visible without this obscuring/illumination? We include classic bodily materialities—bodies themselves, but also physical extension through tactile interfaces and digital sex toys like RealTouch. What are the material practices of the digital? How do the shapes of bodies—and selves?—change as digital technologies transform boundaries and surroundings? As bodies/objects cross from one material channel to another? And we include relative materialities, such as language and script, bits and pixels, avatars and alts. Materialities that arise from their use as building blocks and tools, from their use as faces and agents that speak and remember. Components that undergird everything from affective emoji play to bots that shop the darknet. What does it mean to understand materiality as relative and relational? For this panel we invite papers drawing on diverse methodologies, from media studies and digital anthropology to feminist and queer theory, biomedicine, crip theory and disability studies, critical race studies, and neuroscience and neuroeconomics.

We are delighted to announce that The Connected Past special issue of the Journal of Archaeological Method and theory is out now. We believe the papers in this special issue will be of interest to members of this list. It aims to provide examples of the critical and innovative use of network science in archaeology in order to inspire its more widespread use. The editorial is open access, and it's accompanied by a glossary of network science techniques and concepts that we hope will prove to be a useful resource for archaeologists interested in network concepts. You can find out more about The Connected Past on our website: http://connectedpast.net/  Original papers in this special issue: Networks in Archaeology: Phenomena, Abstraction, Representation by the editors Anna Collar, Fiona Coward, Tom Brughmans, and Barbara J.

But on behalf of a colleague of mine I would like to call on Humanist's collective wisdom to hear what the best inroads are into this topic. We are wondering about a particular issue which is: if you combine several digital data sets that may have various forms of licenses, of which some have been curated and amended by you, and you derive a combined data set (which might be exhaustive or selective), and then some remote client is used by a third—or maybe even fourth—party to build an end user service upon… Still with me? Then we are likely in a situation where several licenses and IPR issues have been stacked. Of course to all good intend and purpose, but maybe not according to what's legal? Does anyone have good suggestions on where to start familiarizing oneself with these kind of digital IPR issues and what legal issues one may encounter?

GUEST EDITORS Stanislav Roudavski and Jon McCormack 2. THEME This special issue aims to audit existing conceptions of creativity in the light of non-anthropocentric interpretations of agency, autonomy, subjectivity, social practices and technologies. A review and update of these conceptions is prudent in the age when human creativity is credited as the dominant, yet hugely destructive, influence on the planetary environment. The conceptual componentry of creativity is in redesign on many shop floors including those of new materialism (Barrett and Bolt, eds, 2013; Coole and Frost, eds, 2010), speculative realism and object-oriented philosophy (Bryant, et al., eds, 2011), posthumanism (Callus and Herbrechter, 2012), ontological designing (Fry, 2012), biology (Turner, 2000), science and technology studies (Knorr-Cetina, 1999), multispecies ethnography (Kirksey and Helmreich, 2010), deep ecology (Sessions, ed., 1995), post-environmentalism (Shellenberger and Nordhaus, eds, 2011) and ecosystem approaches (Waltner-Toews, et al., eds, 2008), to name but a few. In response, the editors propose two lines of enquiry, aiming to engage and extend the relevant work that already exists in a variety of disciplines: The first will consider the , and of creativity. With current developments emphasizing the interdependence between human and biophysical systems, nonhuman entities can be seen as creative agents. How do such agents differ from the recipients of their creativity? Posthumanism questioned understandings of humanity but largely continued the focus on human invention, human freedom and human self-construction through technology. Can matter, things, nonhuman organisms, technologies, tools and machines, biota or institutions be seen as creative? Turning from agents to relationships and processes, are the concepts of embodied or autonomous agency necessary for thinking about creativity? How can existing notions of creativity be extended or challenged through the developing understandings of complexity, emergence, supervenience, evolution and ecosystems? With the notion of creative agency made more inclusive, the second line of enquiry will consider the , , and of creativity. The concept of creativity implies production of desirable novelty. But is production of novelty always of value? In a finite world, the creation of the new often comes with the destruction of the old. Should creativity be judged by the equity of its goals (cf. net-zero or regenerative creativity)? Can the ethics of creativity be defined through the characteristics of its processes (cf. slow creativity or resource recycling)? Should current power relationships be reshaped (e.g., from mastery over nature to deep listening and from creativity to stewardship)? Answers to these questions are interesting because they can challenge established worldviews by interrogating freedoms, rights, voices, subjectivities and the imaginations of all stakeholders, human or otherwise. Returning to the remit of the journal, how can these lines of enquiry illuminate, benefit from, expand, reinterpret or challenge existing and forthcoming phenomena of computation or - in other words - of "digital creativity"? 3. PARTICIPANTS AND ARTICLES This issue seeks to produce an interdisciplinary conversation with contributions from art, design, computing, engineering, architecture, philosophy and science. The editors particularly encourage submissions that include analytical explorations of existing practices through multispecies ethnographies, case reconstructions, actor following, process accounts or other research methods. Submissions can also extrapolate into critical appraisals of future possibilities using thought experiments, speculative designs, design fictions or imaginable use-case scenarios. In this context, possible and emerging practices, early prototypes or partial demonstrators can be appropriate and are welcome. The editors encourage innovative narrative or visual strategies that can express relevant scenarios better that more typical forms of academic writing. Dialogues, conversations, plays, scripts, instruction sets, games or visual essays (for example) might be suitable alongside logical arguments or formulae. 4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS Initial proposals should be submitted as abstracts of 800-1200 words, exclusive of references and biographies. The extended abstract should include the following information: 1) Name of author(s) with email addresses and affiliation, if applicable; 2) Title of the paper; 3) Body of the abstract; 4) Preliminary bibliography; 5) Author(s)'s short bio(s); and 6) Indication of whether the submission will be a short or a long paper. Following acceptance of the abstract by the editors, the final articles will be accepted subject to a double-blind peer review process.

The aim of the workshop is to culminate and then broaden the conversations from a series of regional meetings and webinars taking place through the auspices of Dartmouth’s 2014-15 IMLS-funded National Forum in Crowdsourcing for Libraries and Archives: Creating a Crowdsourcing Consortium (CCLA), to help advance a truly cross-disciplinary agenda (see: http://www.crowdconsortium.org). A capstone for this process, our 2 ½ day event will bring together 50 scholars and practitioners from several disciplines, spanning the humanities, sciences, and social sciences, as well as representatives from 10 funding agencies. Through a mix of formal and informal presentations combined with facilitated breakout sessions, we will focus on questions concerning how researchers and institutions might best leverage crowdsourcing strategies for increasing public engagement, integrating data into existing collections, and improving knowledge production in a variety of domains. If you believe that you could make an important contribution to this conversation, please do apply for one of the 15 open slots in the workshop by filling out the online application form and following the accompanying instructions. Applications are due by Monday, March 2; decisions will be made by Monday, March 16. All workshop participants will receive support for travel, lodging, and meal expenses.

Potential applicants to the NHPRC’s Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions program are invited to attend either of two upcoming webinars on the program and application process. Webinar times and instructions appear at the end of the message. The upcoming webinars are intended for currently-funded projects preparing for the June 17, 2015 deadline, and others who may be considering preparation of an application for the fall cycle (deadline October 8, 2015; this second deadline is open to both currently-funded projects and projects seeking first-time support). The NHPRC seeks proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American history or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project. The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story. The NHPRC encourages projects, whenever possible and appropriate, to provide access to these materials in a free and open online environment, without precluding other forms of publication. Grants are awarded for collecting, describing, preserving, compiling, editing, and publishing documentary source materials in print and online. Because of the focus on documentary sources, grants do not support preparation of critical editions of published works unless such works are just a small portion of the larger project. Applicants may apply for funding for one year. Award amounts may range from $30,000 to $200,000. Depending on the availability of funding, the Commission expects to make as many as 25 grants in this category, for a total of up to $2,500,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2016. First Deadline: Any currently funded NHPRC documentary edition project: Funding Opportunity Number: EDITIONS-201506. Draft (optional): April 3, 2015. Final Deadline: June 17, 2015. NHPRC support begins no earlier than January 1, 2016. Second Deadline: Any currently funded NHPRC documentary edition project and any project seeking first time support: Funding Opportunity Number: EDITIONS-201510. Draft (optional): August 3, 2015. Final Deadline: October 8, 2015. NHPRC support begins no earlier than July 1, 2016. * * * * * Webinars will be held on the following dates and times: Wednesday, 25 February @ 3:30 p.m. Eastern Tuesday, 3 March @ 2:00 p.m. Eastern Webinar attendees will need to click on the following link ( https://connect16.uc.att.com/gsa1/meet/?ExEventID=89909710) and enter their name and email address.

His widow, Frankie Raben, is now urgently looking for someone to take away Joe's library of books and other printed material. Apparently the local libraries are not interested. Whoever gets this collection would have quite an enviable resource for studying the history of the field. This collection is located in Barrington, Rhode Island, U.S. Unfortunately the cost of shipping prohibits sending them anywhere, so they would need to be picked up. Expressions of interest are welcome. Please e-mail me directly, to and, if you would, let me know what you would do with the collection.

Feel free to notify us if you decide to submit an abstract. We look forward to meeting you in Brighton, Termeh Shafie and Tom Brughmans --- ABSTRACT Challenges in Archaeological Network Science The application of network analysis in archaeology has only become more common in the last decade, despite a number of pioneering studies in the 1960s and 70s. The use of different techniques for the analysis and visualisation of network data has already led to new insights into past human behaviour. However, this renewed interest in network science is also accompanied by an increasing awareness of a number of methodological challenges that archaeological network scientists are faced with. These include, but are not limited to the following: – How to deal with spurious data? Sampling strategies in archaeology are often dominated by the geopolitical and financial constraints of excavation campaigns. Moreover, differences in the preservation of different materials provide a very fragmented picture of past human behaviour. As a result, networks constructed from archaeological data can be very sparse with apparent uncertainties. – How to introduce more complex assumptions concerning tie dependency in the reconstruction of archaeological networks? Network modelling is based on hypotheses from archaeological theory which in turn is based on archaeological evidence. A major challenge is how to infer the structure of an archaeological network given a set of assumptions regulating the occurrence of ties. – How to deal with the poor chronological control of archaeological data? The contemporaneity of observations and the exact sequence of events are often uncertain. This is problematic for network science techniques that assume node contemporaneity or require knowledge of the order of events. – How to consider complex socio-spatial phenomena? Archaeologists commonly study the spatial distribution of their data and evaluate to what extent spatial constraints influenced human behaviour. A limited number of spatial network techniques are currently available and many of these are not or hardly applicable in archaeology (e.g. network analysis of road networks). This session invites papers that address these or other methodological challenges that network scientists in archaeology are faced with. This session is organized by and will be chaired by: Termeh Shafie, Termeh.Shafie@uni-konstanz.de, Department of Computer & Information Science, University of Konstanz.

TSD 2015 conference web site: http://www.tsdconference.org/tsd2015 --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 06:51:00 +0100 From: Kai Jakobs Subject: CfP: SIIT 2015 - 9th Int. Conf. on Standardization & Innovation in IT Call for Papers SIIT 2015 9th International Conference on Standardization and Innovation in Information Technology 6 - 8 October 2015, Sunnyvale, California, USA Hosted by Synosys http://www.IEEE-SIIT.org Patrons: Charles River Associates, San Jose State University Conference Theme: Interoperability, Intellectual Property and Standards ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Interoperability has never been more important than it is today. It can be achieved by design, following the market or through standardization. How does intellectual property impact interoperability? How do these factors interact with standardization? IEEE-SIIT 2015 will explore these, and other, important questions. IEEE-SIIT conferences aim at bringing together academia, government and industry participants engaged in standardization to foster the exchange of insights and views on all issues surrounding standards, standardization, interoperability and innovation. Contributing academic disciplines include, but are not limited to: Business Studies, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, History, Information Systems, Law, Management Studies and Sociology. Topics ------ All types of papers (e.g., theoretical, empirical, case studies) are welcome that foster our understanding of interoperability, innovation and standards. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Standardization and innovation * Standards, intellectual property rights and antitrust law * Open standards, open source, open innovation * Standardization policies and regulation * Standards in support of technology convergence * Alternative interoperability strategies * Adoption, implementation and diffusion of standards * Standardization management and strategies * Standards setting processes and organizations * Economics of standards * Impact of standards (e.g., on innovation, competition, or other aspects) * Standards legitimacy * Standards education * History of standardization * Standardization for developing countries * Different regional and international standards regimes A focus on intellectual property rights and standardization ----------------------------------------------------------- IEEE-SIIT's strengths include addressing cross-discipline standards and standardization issues. IEEE-SIIT 2015 will focus on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and their impact on standards and standardization as a cross-disciplinary issue. This is an opportunity to discuss not only the legal issues IPR creates, but the social (public good vs. private gain), technical (negotiation of IPR controlled features), Standards Development Organizations? (SDO) policies (Would a common SDO IPR policy help?), economic aspects (What is the cost of controlled IPR in a standard?), and government policy (Should patent examiners consider the impact of patents on standards?). Paper Submissions ----------------- IEEE-SIIT 2015 accepts submissions which must be original (unpublished) and follow IEEE formatting guidelines. Authors? names and affiliations should appear on a separate cover page only, which should also identify the type of the submission: * Industry/Academic papers should not exceed 10 pages (including figures, references, etc.). * Poster papers should not exceed 2 pages. * Presentation papers, i.e. intended for presentation only. These will not be published in the conference proceedings or Xplore, in order to allow their publication elsewhere (relevant to certain fields of science). These should not exceed 10 pages (including figures, references, etc.). To submit a paper, please use the EDAS submission server https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=19023. All papers will undergo a double blind peer-review process. Authors may submit more than one paper, but each author will be allowed to present only one paper during the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the conference and present the paper. The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g. removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. Industry/Academic papers that will be included in the conference proceedings, will be made available through IEEE Xplore. Their authors must comply with the IEEE policy on plagiarism including self-plagiarism; authors of papers accepted for publication will be asked to sign an IEEE Copyright Form. Outstanding papers will be considered for inclusion in the International Journal on IT Standards and Standardisation Research (IJITSR). Important Dates --------------- Submissions due: 3 April 2015 Notification of acceptance: 26 June 2015 Final paper due: 31 July 2015 All information about the conference will be announced at http://www.IEEE-SIIT.org.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 19 Feb 2015 11:28:13 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: After Method Many here will know that in 1975 Paul Feyerabend published a deliberately upsetting book, Against Method, attacking the idea of "THE scientific method". Since then much has changed, partly thanks to him. But the attractiveness of a singular method, defined kit-bag of formal methods, indeed the elevation of impressively polysyllabic "methodology" to a prominent place in our arguments and the self-definitions of digital humanities is hardly any weaker. For this reason John Law's "sustained argument for a way of thinking about method that is broader, looser, more generous, and in certain respects quite different to that of many of the conventional understandings", in After Method: Mess in Social Science Research (Routledge, 2004), is most welcome. If, as he argues, social reality is far too elusive and complex to be well served by fixed methods, then surely the same and more is true of the imaginative realities with which digital humanities must deal. It seems to me that the idea and practice of experiment rescues us from methodology as a trap. I prefer to think in terms of experiment. Any social scientists here who care to comment on Law's book?

Textable is an open source add-on bringing advanced text-analytical capacities to the Orange Canvas visual programming environment (itself open source). Think of it as a construction kit for text analysis: a set of primitive components which can be (visually) arranged to build a variety of text analysis applications. The project's homepage is http://langtech.ch/textable, and the documentation is hosted at http://orange-textable.readthedocs.org/. To get a feel of what Textable looks like, here's an example of how to use it for mining the Humanist List archive: http://orange-textable.readthedocs.org/en/latest/illustration.html. The detailed list of changes in this major update can be found on the forum: http://langtech.ch/forum/textable/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14. Notably, the documentation has been vastly expanded: each widget now has a complete manual page, and a 'Cookbook' of 22 illustrated recipes has been created to help users accomplish various elementary tasks. Any kind of feedback would be very welcome!

Submissions may include individual papers, fully-constituted panels, birds-of-a-feather discussions, hands-on tutorials, or posters. We encourage presentations that incorporate audio-visual/multimedia elements. Established in 2012 to respond to the need for an affordable, high-quality conference that addressed the emerging field of digital humanities from a variety of perspectives, Digital Frontiers is a truly interdisciplinary experience. The conference brings together scholars and students, librarians and archivists, genealogists and public historians to share their experience of using digital resources in the humanities. We encourage contributions from anyone who creates or uses digital collections or tools for humanities work, including scholars, educators, genealogists, archivists, technologists, librarians, and students. We welcome submissions from local and regional historical and genealogical societies, and anyone working in the public humanities. The goals of this conference are to bring a broad community of users together to share their work across disciplinary and administrative boundaries, and to explore the value and impact that digital resources have on education and research. Possible Topics include but are by no means limited to: ● Specific ways digital libraries have changed the state of humanities research ● Digital tools and methods for conducting humanities research ● New media tools for teaching and making in the classroom ● Using digital collections in the humanities classroom ● How digital preservation serves humanities research ● Overcoming faculty resistance to digital humanities projects and resources ● Theoretical interventions in cultural memory and public humanities (postcolonial DH, queering DH, radical making, etc.) ● Incorporating DH into the classroom across humanities disciplines (including student perspectives) Proposal Types Digital Frontiers is accepting proposals for: ● Individual Papers/Presentations ● Panels ● Posters (36”w x 48”h) ● Praxis Notes ● Birds-of-a-Feather Briefs ● Hands-on Tutorials & Workshops For the full CFP including descriptions of each proposal type and the online submission platform, please visit http://digital-frontiers.org/conference/2015/info/call-proposals With all submissions, please include a brief professional bio (100 words or less - do not send CVs) for each presenter and specify any A/V or other technical needs with your proposal.

But I am puzzled: why is this not so obvious to us all that it need not be mentioned? Is it the case that we, or some of us, expect answers from computers? If this is the case, then does it reveal an expectation of answers from the scholarly study of texts? And if that is true, what can be done to awaken indefatigable curiosity and establish it in the public mind not only as the supreme virtue of the scholarly life but also as a primary engine of human culture? I was charmed the other day, thanks to Desert Island Discs on Radio 4 (BBC), to come across a "Professor of the Public Understanding of Philosophy", Angie Hobbs (http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/news/nr/university-appoints-first-uk-professor-of-the-public-understanding-of-philosophy-1.174523). I do recommend that you take the time out to listen to her interview (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b050yh93). We need many more such appointments, in all fields of the humanities including digital humanities. Humanists in the UK will recognise the phrase "public understanding" from initiatives for the public understanding of science, where again and again one finds stories of the curiosity-led research that has drawn someone into the sciences and yielded not merely a life worth living but also the discoveries we most value. There is a dark side to the professionalisation of the academic life. The usurping of curiosity by the ladder of promotion is certainly one of them. For a rude awakening I recommend interviewing opportunistic candidates. Comments?

Depending on how well your data have been prepared--usually a lot more work than casual users suspect--you can zoom in or out at the drop of a hat. In business jargon, I take it that "drilling down" refers to that distinctive power of the technologies. In addition to being a more accurate description of the really distinctive feature, "scalable reading" is also a more friendly term. It doesn't carry with it any assumptions that you ought to go "macro" or "distant" and that "micro" and "closer" are no longer where the action is. Instead "scalable reading" gives readers the option to vary the distance from the data depending on the tasks at hand.

This year the Summer University is realised together with CLARIN-D, one of the two infrastructure projects for the humanities funded by the German State Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), and the Humboldt Chair in Digital Humanities of the University of Leipzig. Not only the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria (etcl) http://etcl.uvic.ca/ and the German Accademic Exchange Service (DAAD) offer generous support to participants of the European Summer University in Digital Humanities, but also the University of Leipzig http://www.zv.uni-leipzig.de/en/ , which through its International Centre http://www.zv.uni-leipzig.de/en/university/uni-international/international-centre.html makes available bursaries for members of its Eastern European partner universities (please see: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/480). The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based cooperations and network-building across the borders of disciplines, countries and cultures. The Summer University seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives, to name only some of the most important areas. The Summer University aims at integrating these activities into the broader context of the Digital Humanities, which pose questions about the consequences and implications of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds. In all this the Summer University aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide, i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany and Europe. But, instead of strengthening the /hard sciences/ as such by following the way taken by so many measures which focus on the so-called STEM disciplines and try to convince women of the attractiveness and importance of Computer Science or Engineering, the Summer University relies on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders between the so-calledhardand soft sciencesand on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. The Summer School takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. The workshop programme is composed of the following thematic strands: XML-TEI encoding, structuring and rendering Methods and Tools for the Corpus Annotation of Historical and Contemporary Written Texts Comparing Corpora Spoken Language and Multimodal Corpora Python Basic Statistics and Visualization with R Stylometry Open Greek and Latin Digital Editions and Editorial Theory: Historical Texts and Documents Spatial Analysis in the Humanities Building Thematic Research Collections with Drupal Introduction to Project Management Each workshop consists of a total of 16 sessions or 32 week-hours. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. Information on how to apply for a place in one or two workshops can be found at: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ . Preference will be given to young scholars of the Humanities and Social Sciences who are planning, or are already involved with, a technology-based research project and who submit a qualified project description. Young scholars of Engineering and Computer Sciences are expected to describe their specialities and interests in such a way that also non-specialists can follow, and to support with good arguments what they hope to learn from the summer school. Applications are considered on a rolling basis. The selection of participants is made by the Scientific Committee together with the experts who lead the workshops. Participation fees are the same as last year.

Happens all the time, as we celebrate here. Two questions about this fascinate me. One is how what we mean by "human" changes to incorporate a formerly remarkable aid that extended human reach, e.g. the camera. The other is what happens to our conception of knowledge. This latter change seems harder to notice. We exclaim, for example, how online resources allow us to do this and that but can only guess at the profound, slower moving effects on the concept of knowing -- if we even bother to puzzle over them. We keep on writing as if technological determinism were simply a fact of life even though "The most decisive conceptual event of twentieth century physics has been the discovery that the world is not deterministic. Causality, long the bastion of metaphysics, was toppled, or at least tilted: the past does not determine exactly what happens next." (Hacking, The Taming of Chance, p. 1) In realms we're more familiar with, what has happened, for example, to our conception of literary style as a result of computational stylistics? Why, in this particular case, are the rather startling implications of discerning an author's identity from his or her use of common words not a matter of concern? (Yes, it's very hard work to do this well, and yes, it seldom works well enough to inspire confidence, but *any* success at all, it seems to me, is astonishing and upsetting to our comfortable assumptions of authorship.) So there's more to it than zooming in or out -- and abundant occasion to argue, no? Comments?

I did listen to Professor Hobbs' interview and thoroughly enjoyed it, and I would go further perhaps in our thirst for knowledge. Since all subjects at university come directly from philosophy, we should all endeavor to be like Professor Hobbs. Every faculty title should contain, at least implicitly, the word "Public." I was struck recently by a conversation at an editorial board meeting, where one colleague said that it was difficult to find qualified reviewers for papers in a specific topic. The person went on to point out that there were only 5 people in the world whose specializations covered the area. What have we come to at colleges and universities when our learning and questioning reaches 5 people? It seems to me that we need to continue our specialization, but to make a concerted effort to reach out to the public. Otherwise, what is the point? > > There is a dark side to the professionalisation of the academic life.

I am lighting a small candle in the dark related to our recent evolution of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication (the revised acronym of http://utdallas.edu/atec). ATEC has now officially become one of UT Dallas' 8 Schools (previously there were 7). I am co-working on a candidate document where we make suggestions that public discourse be rewarded at the highest levels of the university. At a public university such as the one I attend, we owe it to all taxpayers in the State to explain what we are doing, why we are doing it, and furthermore, what excites us about our areas. It is no longer enough to speak only to 5 people if universities are to survive the radical (and exciting) changes coming from apps, MOOCs, videos, blogs, podcasts, and so forth. I see myself as an educated guide for students, engaging them, questioning their assumptions. Isn't that how philosophy began with the Greeks? Why have we stopped? -paul > > Comments? > > Yours,WM > > On 21/02/2015 07:43, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: >> Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 755. >> Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London >> www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist >> Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org >> >> >> >> Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 14:04:27 +0000 >> From: "Stephen H.

The primary goal of the charity will be to further the educational goals of the MarineLives project. The secondary goal of the charity will be to apply the collaborative methods developed by the MarineLives team to projects based upon different manuscript types and addressing different historical subjects, but utilising a common digital platform. The charity will be registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The educational goals of the project and of the proposed charity are: (1 (1) To bring together volunteers from academia, schools, and the general public to work on primary manuscript sources (2 (2) To involve and educate volunteers through innovative, collaborative teams, working remotely using a digital platform, in the transcription and annotation of historical manuscripts ( (3) To create published, freely available resources from the transcribed and annotated manuscripts, for use in teaching, research, and outreach programmes *Seeking trustees of Conecting Primary Sources* The three founders of the MarineLives project will become trustees of the charity Connecting Primary Sources - Colin Greenstreet, Dr Philip Hnatkovich, and Jill Wilcox. They will be joined by Dr Richard Blakemore, of Merton College, Oxford, and Professor Steven Murdoch of the University of Saint Andrews. They are looking for two to three additional trustees, who have an interest in manuscript based collaborative history, who share the founders vision for the charity, and who would like to participate in shaping Connecting Primary Sources as an innovative educational charity. Archival and museum professionals are especially welcome, as are individuals with legal, accounting, IT/informatics, or other professional experience. Previous experience of charity trusteeship would be helpful, though it is not essential. *Read more about the project and the proposed charity at:* https://www.academia.edu/10995217/Colin_Greenstreet_Proposed_Educational_Charity_Connecting_Primary_Sources_February_2015 *To contact us*: http://marinelives.org/contact-us.html _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id A1564AC5; Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:17:37 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6F04DAB7; Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:17:36 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3DFE8AB4; Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:17:33 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150224061733.3DFE8AB4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:17:33 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.765 events: an UnCamp, ICTs & society; motion X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150224061737.24267.34835@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 765.

The 5th ICTs and Society Conference therefore wants to focus on the questions: What are the main challenges that the Internet and social media are facing in capitalism today? What potentials for an alternative, commonist Internet are there? What are existing hindrances for such an Internet? What is the relationship of power structures, protest movements, societal developments, struggles, radical reforms, etc. to the Internet? How can critical political economy and critical theory best study the Internet and social media today? Presentations and submissions are organised in the form of 23 panel topics (ICT&S1-ICT&S23; please indicate the panel identification number to which you submit in your submisison/abstract): * ICT&S1 The Internet and Critical Theory: * ICT&S2 The Internet, Karl Marx, and Marxist Theory: * ICT&S3 The Internet, Commodities and Capitalism: * ICT&S4 The Political Economy of Online Advertising * ICT&S5 The Internet and Power: * ICT&S6 Raymond Williams’ Cultural Materialism and the Internet: * ICT&S7 Dallas Smythe and the Internet: * ICT&S8 Critical Cultural Studies Today: Stuart Hall, Richard Hoggart * ICT&S9 The Frankfurt School and the Internet: * ICT&S10 Marxist Semiotics, Marxist Linguistics, Critical Psychology, Marxism and the Internet * ICT&S11 The Internet and Global Capitalism * ICT&S12 The Internet and Neoliberalism with Chinese Characteristics * ICT&S13 The Political Economy of Digital Labour * ICT&S14 The Political Economy of the Internet and the Capitalist State Today * ICT&S15 Ideology Critique 2.0: Ideologies of and on the Internet * ICT&S16 Hegel 2.0: Dialectical Philosophy and the Internet * ICT&S17 Capitalism and Open Access Publishing * ICT&S18 Class Struggles, Social Struggles and the Internet * ICT&S19 Critical/Radical Internet Studies, the University and Academia Today * ICT&S20 The Internet and the Left * ICT&S21 Anti-Capitalist Feminism and the Internet Today * ICT&S22 The Internet, Right-Wing Extremism and Fascism Today * ICT&S23 An Alternative Internet Online SUBMISSION: http://sciforum.net/conference/isis-summit-vienna-2015/icts http://sciforum.net/conference/isis-summit-vienna-2015/page/instructions Please submit an extended abstract of 750-2000 words: First register and then select the conference “ISIS Summit Vienna 2015” and the conference stream “ICTS 2015” Only one submission per person will be considered Please indicate the number/ID of the panel to which you are submitting at the start of your abstract (ICTSxx).

The conference is supported by and will be held at the Centre for the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge on 18-20 June 2015. The deadline for all proposals is 15 March 2015, and registration is expected to open in April 2015 (http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/25668). There will be a history of science presence at the conference, including Professor Simon Schaffer among the invited speakers. 'Objects in Motion' will bring together diverse scholars, curators, writers, and artists to discuss material culture in transition. Material objects are produced within specific contexts - geographical, cultural, and temporal. This is true for things as diverse as the Great Sphinx built in Egypt at least 4500 years ago, the Lindisfarne Gospels illuminated in 8th-century Northumbria, a wooden ceremonial mask carved in 19th-century Nigeria, or a mobile phone made in 21st-century China. What happens when objects such as these transition into other contexts? How are differences in use and meaning negotiated? Sometimes later reinterpretations and reincarnations (including ‘fakes’ and reproductions) incorporate elements of the objects’ original use and meaning, and other times they diverge entirely. This can affect not only the objects themselves but also the knowledge and experiences embedded within or produced by them – as with books, musical recordings, and technologies. Scholars, curators, writers, and artists from all disciplines are welcome to propose relevant talks. Visual artists (including photographers) are also welcome to propose artwork on the theme to be displayed in the Alison Richard Building. Proposals for performing arts may be made as well, within the constraints of space and time stated below. The papers and art, selected by both CFP and invitation, will be complemented by events at local museums. These diverse contributions will help to shed light on material culture dynamics which remain highly relevant even today despite the growth of multinational corporations, global communication, and increasing standardisation. They will also foster productive dialogue on different disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to studying and responding to these dynamics. Guidelines for proposing a paper Proposals for talks should be emailed to the convenor Dr. Alexi Baker (ab933@cam.ac.uk) by 15 March 2015. They should include a title, an abstract of up to 250 words, a brief biography, contact information, and any institutional affiliations. Scholars at all stages of their careers including independent scholars are encouraged to apply, as are artists and writers who would like offer talks reflecting on the conference theme. Guidelines for proposing visual or performing arts Proposals for visual or performing arts which reflect upon the conference theme should be emailed to the convenor Dr. Alexi Baker (ab933@cam.ac.uk) by 15 March 2015. The visual artwork will hang in the ground floor seminar rooms of the Alison Richard Building from the time of the conference until at least October 2015, and must be fitted to the available space and hanging facilities. The artist(s) must be able to transport their works to the Alison Richard Building themselves and to install them with limited assistance from staff. Each piece will need to come fitted with string or hooks on the back so that they can be attached to the hanging rails in the seminar rooms with nylon string. (The type of rails in use can be seen here: https://arbpublicart.wordpress.com/exhibiting-at-the-arb) Small labels may also be affixed near the artworks using white-tack. Proposals for performing arts will be considered as well as long as they can be staged within the limited space of a seminar room, and have a running time of less than one hour. Possibilities could include for example recitations, musical performances, or self-contained dramatic performances. Proposals for visual or performing arts should consist of: • Contact information and any institutional affiliations • Title of the installation or performance • Description of up to 250 words • CV and (if available) website of the artist • Examples of the work of the artist • Detailed installation or staging requirements Call for Papers and Art online: http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/assets/general/Objects_in_Motion_CFPA.pdf --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 19:12:48 +0000 From: "Dubnicek, Ryan C" Subject: Register Now for HTRC UnCamp - March 30-31, 2015 Registration Now for HTRC UnCamp, March 30-31, 2015 HathiTrust Research Center UnCamp March 30-31, 2015 University of Michigan Palmer Commons 100 Washtenaw Avenue Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2218 2015 UnCamp: This year’s HathiTrust Research Center UnCamp will be held March 30-31, 2015 at the University of Michigan Palmer Commons.

Abstract: For the sixth time, it is our pleasure to bring together pioneer work in the overlap of arts, humanities, network research, data science, and information design. The 2015 symposium will again follow our established recipe, leveraging interaction between those areas by means of keynotes, a number of contributions, and a high-profile panel discussion. In our call, we are looking for a diversity of research contributions revolving around networks in culture, networks in art, networks in the humanities, art about networks, and research in network visualization. Focussing on these five pillars that have crystallized out of our previous meetings, the 2015 symposium again strives to make further impact in the arts, humanities, and natural sciences. Running parallel to the NetSci2015 conference http://www.netsci2015.net , the symposium provides a unique opportunity to mingle with leading researchers in complex network science, potentially sparking fruitful collaborations. As in previous years, selected papers will be published in print, both in a Special Section of Leonardo Journal MIT-Press and in a dedicated Leonardo eBook MIT-Press (see below). - See more at: http://ahcn2015.schich.info/#sthash.ur1o5Lba.dpuf For the sixth time, it is our pleasure to bring together pioneer work in the overlap of arts, humanities, network research, data science, and information design.

Sin duda estamos viviendo en nuestros días una aceleración sin precedentes de la circulación de productos y materiales, de personas, de textos y de memorias, mientras los imaginarios nacionales y globales coexisten, luchan y producen literaturas. Se repiten los lugares comunes sobre las literaturas contemporáneas, los nuevos lectores, la globalización, Internet, etc., pero no encontramos suficientes experiencias contrastadas y estudios que corroboren tantas afirmaciones. Hemos de preguntarnos, por un lado, si realmente las interrelaciones a escala global y los entornos digitales han alterado los modelos de producción y distribución de la escritura, de circulación y consumo de la lectura y, en tal caso, de qué modo. Por otro lado, es el momento de plantearse si estas modalidades de circulación están creando nuevas narrativas y un nuevo efecto de globalización. Así podríamos considerar la circulación digital global no solo como un proceso que de facto tiene lugar, sino también como un relato imaginario. De hecho, de la misma manera que el cine transformó de forma radical el imaginario literario de escritores y lectores a principios del s. XX, Internet está modificando los rituales de lectura, las fórmulas de producción y las narrativas del s. XXI. Resulta imprescindible estudiar qué indicios en la escritura y en la lectura literarias podrían ser considerados síntomas de estos cambios en los modelos de lectura, en las estrategias de escritura y en los imaginarios. Proponemos explorar las posibilidades que nos brinda la metáfora conceptual que utilizamos para entender el hecho literario no desde su genealogía, sino como viaje y tránsito de las literaturas y de sus lecturas. Si la pregunta “¿De dónde viene?” ha sido utilizada para modelar identidades personales y culturales, hoy puede ser substituida o añadirse a otras preguntas como “¿Por dónde va?”, “¿Cómo circula?”. Esta idea de circulación es lo que nos permite hablar de “transliteraturas”, una perspectiva ya muy fundamentada y amplia en los estudios literarios de hoy que deberá ser puesta a prueba en el ámbito digital. Precisamente en ello reside la cuestión fundamental que se plantea aquí: ¿está modificando la circulación digital los imaginarios literarios? Para analizar estos aspectos, planteamos las siguientes preguntas:: - Dada la extensión y la multiplicación de los medios digitales, esta visión ensanchada y móvil del mundo ¿realmente está transformando la producción literaria local, los imaginarios localizados? - La configuración de una memoria de saberes por medio de los nuevos archivos digitales ¿qué alcance tiene sobre las estructuras conectivas de la cultura, y de la literatura en particular? - La circulación de materiales en la Red ¿está favoreciendo el nacimiento de nuevas comunidades de lecto-escritores, con otros modos de lectura? ¿Es esto un anuncio de cómo van a leer los lectores de la nueva generación las literaturas? Nuestra intención es reunir a expertos procedentes del ámbito de la cibercultura y de la crítica literaria, con aproximaciones distantes y distintas, con el fin de que, a partir de un análisis de casos de escritura y lectura literarias en soporte papel o electrónico, ofrezcan sus respuestas tanto al mundo editorial tradicional y digital, como al mundo académico de la enseñanza y de la investigación. Es decir, se trata de entrelazar los prefijos trans- e hiper-. Fecha límite para la presentación de propuestas: 15 de abril de 2015 Notificación de aceptación: mayo-junio 2015 readingwide@ucm.es Más información en la página : https://www.ucm.es/leethi/reading-wide ----- Reading wide, writing wide in the Digital Age: perspectives on transliteratures Complutense University of Madrid 22nd -23rd October 2015 Organizer: LEETHY Group http://www.ucm.es/leethi The launching of Google Books and of Google Earth in 2004 could be considered a symbolical landmark in the configuration of memories and localization in space, a kind of milestone. Is there a time before and a time after 2004? Should we be getting ready for a change in literary reading and writing? Certainly, these days, we are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration of the circulation of products and materials, of people, texts and memories, while the national and global imaginaries coexist, fight and produce literatures. Commonplaces are repeated about contemporary literatures, new readers, globalization, the Internet etc., but, in fact, we do not find enough contrasted experiences and studies that support many of these assertions. It is time we ask whether interrelations on a global scale in digital environments have altered, on the one hand, the patterns of production and distribution of writing, of circulation and consumption of reading, and in that case, in what way. But, on the other hand, it is time to ask if these modalities of circulation are creating new narratives and a new effect of globalization. So we are considering global digital circulation as a factual process but also as an imaginary storytelling. In fact, as cinema radically transformed writers’ and readers’ literary imaginary at the beginning of the 20th century, the Internet is definitively modifying rituals of readings, formulas of production, narratives in the 21st century. We believe that it is necessary to verify what marks in the literary writing and reading could be considered symptoms of all these shifting reading patterns, writing strategies and imaginaries. We can explore the possibility that the conceptual metaphor which is being used to understand the literary fact through its genealogy is shifting to the transit and journey of literatures and readings. If the question "where does it come from?" has been used to shape personal and cultural identities, and therefore to build national literary discourses, nowadays it may be replaced by or intersect with the questions "where is it going?” and How is it going across?. This circulating conception of what we can call “transliteratures”, a well-founded and broad-based perspective in the literary field nowadays, should be put to the test in the digital domain. And this is the point: is digital circulation modifying literary imaginaries? We will try to ask to the following questions: - Given the extension and multiplication of digital media, the moving andwidening vision of the world, is it really modifying local literaryproduction, located imaginaries? - About the configuration of a cultural memory through new digital archives, we can raise the question: how does it influence the connective structures of culture and literature in particular? - Is the circulation of materials on the Web giving birth to new communities of readers-writers, with other modes of reading? Is it announcing the way readers from the new generation are going to read? We intend to gather experts and experiences coming from the world of cyberculture and literary criticism, with distant and distinct approaches, with the aim that, on the basis of an analysis of production cases and literary reading in paper or electronic support, they should offer answers about what is currently happening as much to the traditional and digital editorial world, as well as to the academic world of teaching and research. That means cross-boarding trans and hyper.

We will expose the students to traditional as well as digital methods (if you pardon my sloppy terms) with a focus on the period between WW 1 and WW 2. Could anyone suggest projects or publications of any kind specifically targeting this topic using digital humanities/digital history methods? It does not have to link to the same time period; anything with the use of computers on autobiographical or memoir literature would be helpful. If people prefer to write to me directly I will be happy to post a summary to the list.

All best wishes, Jennifer. _________________________________________________________________ Downstream from the Digital Humanities: A Round-Table Discussion Thursday 05 March, 2:00 - 4:00pm An Foras Feasa, Iontas Building, Maynooth University This round-table discussion, led by leading researchers in Digital Humanities across Europe and North America, will explore current debates in the humanities surrounding issues of publication, communication and evaluation that have been engendered by the systemic changes in the scholarly communications landscape as a result of new technologies and methodologies. While publication venues and opportunities have widened greatly, researchers must make calculated decisions when choosing to embark on a digital project or non-traditional publication venue: not just about their research questions, their digital tools and methods, and how best to address or implement them, but about their careers, their institutions and their scholarly record. In spite of a general recognition of the value of digital scholarly outputs, many institutions and national systems still struggle to judge the merit of such outputs and credit their creators accordingly. These ecosystem difficulties cover many areas, but one common characteristic is that many of them arise "downstream" from the activities of digital humanities scholarship, that is, after a work of scholarship has been completed and released to the audience of peers and public. This seminar will explore these issues. Participants Professor Lorna Hughes, School of Advanced Studies, University of London Professor Laura Mandel, Texas A & M University Dr Enrico Nadal, Swiss Academy for Humanities and Social Sciences Professor Daniel O'Donnell, Leithbridge University Professor Susan Schreibman, Maynooth University, Chair Professor Claire Warwick, Durham University Fleur Praal, Leiden University The event will be followed by a wine and cheese reception.

John Bradley and Gabriel Bodard ------------------------------------------------------------------- Were Humanists and Digital Humanities always so very different? An investigation of the earliest contributions to Humanist Julianne Nyhan (Department of Information Studies, University College London) Until recently the history of Digital Humanities has, with a few notable exceptions (see, for example, relevant entries in the bibliography that I'm in the process of compiling here: https://hiddenhistories.omeka.net/resources) mostly been neglected by the DH community as well as by the mainstream Humanities. Of the many research questions that wait to be addressed, one set pertains to the history of the disciplinary formation of Digital Humanities. What processes, attitudes and circumstances (not to mention knowledge and expertise) conspired, and in what ways, to make it possible for DH to become disciplined in the ways that it has (and not in other ways)? What might answers to such questions contribute to new conversations about the forms that DH might take in the future? Here I will make a first and brief contribution to answering such far-reaching questions by identifying and analysing references to disciplinary identity that occur in conversations conducted via the Humanist Listserv in its inaugural year. About Dr Nyhan: Dr Julianne Nyhan is lecturer in Digital Information Studies in the Department of Information Studies, University College London. Her research interests include the history of computing in the Humanities, Oral history and most aspects of digital humanities. Her recent publications include the co-edited Digital Humanities in Practice (Facet 2012) and Digital Humanities: a Reader (Ashgate 2013). She is at work on a book (Springer Verlag 2015) on the history of Digital Humanities (information about the wider Hidden Histories project is here https://hiddenhistories.omeka.net/). Having recently completed a number of interviews with the female keypunch operators who were trained by Roberto Busa in the 1950s and 1960s to work on the Index Thomisticus project she is also at work on a paper about this (see http://archelogos.hypotheses.org/135) Among other things, she is a member of the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Peer Review College, the communications Editor of Interdisciplinary Science Reviews and a member of various other editorial and advisory boards. She tweets @juliannenyhan and blogs at http://archelogos.hypotheses.org/.

Barbara Bordalejo will talk about issues relating to publishing, eReaders and multimedia books. This will be the second lecture of a series on Digital Humanities, organised by the Platform Digital Humanities of the University of Antwerp. The lectures are in English and free to attend, however, registration is required. The lecture takes place in room R.213 at the city campus of the University of Antwerp (Belgium). About the Speaker Barbara Bordalejo is a textual critic, editor and digital humanist. She studied Literature and Linguistics in Venezuela. In 2003, she completed two PhDs, one in English and American Literature (New York University) and one in Middle English Literature (De Montfort University). Since then, she has worked in four universities in two continents and in October she joined KU Leuven's Literary Studies as the Digital Humanities specialist. She is currently involved in the CantApp, an edition of the Canterbury Tales for mobile devices. About the Series This lecture is part of a series on Digital Humanities, organised by the Platform Digital Humanities of the University of Antwerp. The objective of the series is to sketch the evolving landscape of digital humanities. Once merely a buzzword, Œdigital humanities¹ is now developing into a legitimate discipline that is constantly expanding and hard to define. In short, it is described as the use of computational methods and digital tools for research in Arts, Humanities, Cultural Heritage, and Social Science. The diversity of the field is perhaps best illustrated through concrete examples from practitioners. For that reason, the Platform Digital Humanities invites speakers from a variety of disciplines, all undertaking/united by exceptional and interesting research projects.

Narratives are at the heart of information sharing. Ever since people began to share their experiences, they have connected them to form narratives. Modern day news reports still reflect this narrative structure, but they have proven difficult for automatic tools to summarise, structure, or connect to other reports. Most text processing tools focus on extracting relatively simple structures from the local lexical environment, and concentrate on the document as a unit or on even smaller units such as sentences or phrases, rather than cross-document connections especially published over longer periods of time. However, current information needs demand a move towards multidimensional and distributed representations which take into account the connections between all relevant elements involved in a “story”. The workshop aims at assessing the state-of-the-art in event extraction and linking, as well as detecting and ranking narratives according to salience. The workshop invites work on all aspects of generating narrative structures or components thereof from news. This includes topics such as (but not limited to): - detecting events from news - linguistic expression of relevant events - filtering relevant events - cumulation of information from news streams - detecting opinions and perspectives - finding trending or serendipitous stories in news - tracing perspective change through time - modeling plot structures - storyline stability and completeness - annotating storylines - temporal or causal ordering of events - linguistics resources for storylines - big data as a source for storylines - evaluation of storylines - discourse structure and storylines - visualisation of storylines - detecting facts and speculations - dynamic event modeling [...] -- Tommaso Caselli Computational Lexicology & Terminology Lab (CLTL)Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam De Boelelaan 1105, 1081 HV Amsterdam http://www.understandinglanguagebymachines.org --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2015 11:36:47 +0000 From: Justin Tonra Subject: Digital Scholarship Seminar @ NUI Galway Announcing the schedule for the Spring 2015 series of Digital Scholarship Seminar at NUI Galway.

We are delighted to invite you to the inaugural lecture on 27 May 2015 and are especially pleased to announce that Professor Susan Hockey will be the speaker. Digital Humanities: Perspectives on Past, Present and Future http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dh/events/archive/susanhockey Professor Susan Hockey Wednesday 27 May, 6pm Sir Ambrose Fleming Lecture Theare, Roberts Building, UCL In our first installment of The Susan Hockey Lecture series, Professor Susan Hockey discusses the trajectory of digital humanities from its many years on the fringes to its current position at the centre of the humanities scholarly arena, and its future challenges. Today, conferences, courses and publications in digital humanities abound, and jobs are advertised almost every week. The advent of the World Wide Web shifted emphasis from analytical software to communication and publication tools bringing humanities resources to a much wider audience in classrooms and in the home. The groundwork for many of these new ways of working is in place now. Some time in the future, humanities information sources will be mainly digital. What are the implications of a much broader user community for these resources, and for libraries and archives, the traditional custodians of humanities information sources? How can research in digital humanities contribute to future developments? And what should our students learn in order to build successfully on what has already been achieved? All are welcome and the lecture will be followed by a drinks reception in the Roberts Foyer.

Culture and Computing is a new research area which aims to overcome different cultural issues in international communities using information and communication technologies (ICT). There are various research directions in the relations between culture and computing: to archive cultural heritages via ICT (cf. digital archives), to empower humanities researches via ICT (cf. digital humanities), to create art and expressions via ICT (cf. media art), to realize a culturally situated agent (cf. cultural agent), to support multi-language, multi-cultural societies via ICT (cf. intercultural collaboration), and to understand new cultures born in the Internet and Web (cf. net culture). The International Conference on Culture and Computing provides an opportunity to share research issues and discuss the future of culture and computing, which was established in Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan in 2010, and has been held once every two years in Kyoto, Japan since 2011. The conference is also held in even years when there is a voluntary host city (e.g., Culture and Computing 2012 in Hangzhou, China). Culture and Computing 2015 will also be organized with an exhibition on the integration of state of the art cultural computing technologies and Japanese traditional culture, along with a number of organized sessions. To understand the proceedings at the previous conferences, please visit below. http://www.astem.or.jp/virtual-lab/culture/conference.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2015 13:52:01 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: digital humanities at Bath Spa Recently I visited a small liberal arts university to the west of London, Bath Spa (http://www.bathspa.ac.uk), and was so impressed with what I found there that I invited my host, Professor Andrew Hugill, to write a brief description of his activities in digital humanities there. He sent the following. > Professor Andrew Hugill was appointed in April 2013 with a mission to > develop the university's digital portfolio. Hugill is a > transdisciplinary academic, a composer who works in Music and > Computer Science, as well as some of the wilder shores of French > literature. He has a track record of creating cross-disciplinary > entities, having established the Institute Of Creative Technologies > at De Montfort University, which generated £7 million in external > income under his direction. > > In 2014, Hugill established the university-wide Centre for Creative > Computing (CCC) at Bath Spa University, based at Corsham Court. This > has already secured significant funding from NESTA (£125,000 for > predictive analysis for museums) and an undisclosed industry partner, > who is funding a postdoctoral research fellow. Working with his > colleague Professor Hongji Yang, a software engineer, and Dr Jerry > Fishenden, a new media researcher and developer, Hugill has > established a network of 30 academics from all areas of the > university, who are working on a range of projects. These include > digital heritage, artistic creation, software development, and some > secret projects, all of which aim to increase understanding of > creative computing. > > The CCC has already attracted 10 PhD students (all except one > self-funding) and edits the International Journal of Creative > Computing (Interscience). It has a programme of seminars and visiting > lectures. Recent speakers include Prof Jim Hendler (lead scientist of > the semantic web) and Prof Willard McCarty (Professor of Humanities > Computing). It also runs a Masters course and in 2015 is launching an > undergraduate programme that includes specialist pathways in > Animation, Gaming and Software Development alongside a major/minor > combination with a range of subjects from all the university > Schools. > > One of the challenges for Bath Spa University is to integrate > computing more effectively into its teaching and research. To this > end, the School of Humanities and Cultural Industries has been > examining Digital Humanities as an area for development. There is a > significant opportunity to embed digital humanities thinking and > practices across a range of subject areas, from Music, Visual and > Performing Arts to Creative Writing, Literature and History. The CCC > is committed to trying to achieve a thoroughly developed digital > humanities throughout the university. Even if only by implication the term "creative computing" gives to digital humanities a push in the direction of synthesis to complement its long- standing analytic emphasis. This is happening via efforts in simulation, but as the turn to simulation develops the experience and wisdom of practitioners in the arts will, I'd think, be of great benefit. The discovery of a new teacher is a cause for celebration. Comments? Other examples?

The inaugural issue is expected to be published in late 2015. Digital Literary Studies publishes scholarly articles on research concerned with computational approaches to literary analysis/criticism, or critical/literary approaches to electronic literature, digital media, and textual resources.Topics of interest to Digital Literary Studies include, but are not limited to, textual analysis, computational stylistics, text encoding, computational linguistics, digital resources, publishing, topic modeling, network analysis, mapping, electronic literature, cultural criticism and Digital Literary Studies, games and gaming.Digital Literary Studies welcomes and supports submissions across a broad range of scholarly practices. In addition to more traditional long-form research articles, shorter positional and quantitative papers are also welcome. Contributors may submit curated electronic texts for peer review. For example, scholars may submit an encoded collection of poetry, which will be reviewed, and stored in our institutional repository hosted at the Pennsylvania State University. Furthermore, we are interested in reviewing well-documented hermeneutical methods and tools, where the tools are a form of interpretation. Any digital project with a literary focus, whether that be a digital edition, tool, or otherwise, may be considered for review.

Candidates will pursue their individual research agendas within the program, based on projects developed from proposals which they provide during the application process. Deadline 1 May 2015. Contact Brendan Dooley, b dot dooley AT ucc dot ie. Program general info: http://www.apc.ucc.ie/en/dah/study/ Course details: http://www.ucc.ie/calendar/postgraduate/Doctor/page020.html Application to Digital Arts and Humanities (CKH88): http://www.ucc.ie/en/study/postgrad/how/research/ Note that the scholarships must be applied for separately from the application for entry to the program. Application for CACSSS Excellence Scholarships (PhD) http://www.ucc.ie/en/cacsss/grads/facilities/funding/excellencephd/ Some subject areas: History, European Languages and Literatures, Renaissance Studies, English, Music, Performing Arts, Art and Art History, Irish Studies, Psychology, Digital Law, and other fields on request. Programme Structure Candidates will complete core, training and career development modules, including main modules shared across the consortium and others institutionally-based. The overall aim of the taught modules are threefold: 1) to introduce students to the history and theoretical issues in digital arts/humanities; 2) to provide the skills needed to apply advanced computational and information management paradigms to humanities/arts research; 3) to provide an enabling framework for students to develop generic and transferable skills to carry out their final research projects/dissertations. Year 1 of the four-year programme includes core and optional graduate education modules delivered in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Maynooth. These modules provide a grounding in essential research skills and transferable skills together with access to specialist topics. In years 2 and 3 work on PhD research projects is supplemented with access to elective modules. Year 3 features practical placements in industry, academic research environments or cultural institutions. University College Cork has a strong track record in Digital Humanities and has been a pioneer in the development of digital tools for language study and historiography. The College is strong in all disciplines of the Humanities, with a particular concentration on Irish and European studies. The Digital Arts and Humanities program currently has 46 students from around the globe, studying topics ranging from Renaissance networking to eighteenth-century country houses, from modern performance art to Irish diaspora music performers in the USA and their stories.

Katherine Hayles, March 19 In-Reply-To: <3A708F4999F85F4CA71F166FCD4DC8A41508670C@VM-Kenya.wellcomeit.com> Dear colleagues, As part of the conference 'The Total Archive: Dreams of Universal Knowledge from the Encyclopaedia to Big Data', taking place at CRASSH, Cambridge, 19/20 March 2015, I'm pleased to announce details of the following public lecture: N. Katherine Hayles (Duke), 'A Theory of the Total Archive: Infinite Expansion, Infinite Compression, and Apparatuses of Control' CRASSH, West Road, Cambridge, 19 March 2015, 6pm More info: http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/26072 / https://www.facebook.com/events/676211939155262 Abstract below, no registration needed. I hope to see many of you there! Best wishes, Boris Jardine --- Munby Fellow in Bibliography, 2014/15 Cambridge University Library Abstract: A total archive is of course literally impossible, but in imaginative literature, there are two ways to achieve it, as Borges has taught us: infinite expansion ("The Library of Babel"), and infinite compression ("The Aleph"). Apparent opposites, the two cycle continuously into and through one another, as do outside/inside in a Möbius strip or interior/exterior in a Klein bottle. The metaphor is not perfect, however, for while the transition from outside/inside/outside is seamless in these physical examples, with the Archive it is mediated by a hinge instantiated in apparatuses of control: institutions, governments, corporations, universities. Examples of the hinge's operation include the microbiome project aiming to catalogue the DNA and to archive samples of all the microbial organisms that inhabit human bodies; Christian Bök's project to encode his poetry into the DNA of a microscopic organism known as the extremophile; and the experimental print novel/project by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst known as S. This talk will explore the implications of the theory through the examples above and illustrate its operation in detail in S. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 4595CB4E; Tue, 3 Mar 2015 08:14:33 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 37EA5B48; Tue, 3 Mar 2015 08:14:32 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2D866B3B; Tue, 3 Mar 2015 08:14:29 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150303071429.2D866B3B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2015 08:14:29 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.784 call for editors: Minimal Computing X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150303071432.32313.62815@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 784.

They have arranged for support for up to 10 scholars from outside Australia and 5 scholars resident in Australia to help with the costs of transportation and accommodation to the seminar in Sydney. An additional 10 bursaries are available under a separate scheme for research students from the University of Western Sydney. What is the New Scholars Seminar? The NSS is a two-day unconference event on Monday and Tuesday, June 29^th and 30^th connected with public events on Building Communities and Networks in the Humanities. The events are for new scholars to meet and develop research collaborations in the digital humanities. The agenda for the unconference events will be set by the participants. The events are timed to take place before DH 2015 (dh2015.org http://dh2015.org ) at the University of Western Sydney in Sydney, Australia. Who would participate? For the purposes of this seminar a "new scholar" is defined as someone who is either a graduate student or someone who has received their PhD within the last 5 years (or longer if a case is made for career interruption). Postdoctoral fellows and people in alternative academic positions are welcome to apply. Participation will be by reviewed application and accommodation/travel support will be limited to 15 people, including 10 affiliated with CHCI and 5 participants from Australia. How does one apply? Applications are due by April 15. Applications include i) a Statement of Research that outlines your research interests in digital humanities; ii) a letter of support from a CHCI centre/institute director (not required for Australian applicants), including a statement specifying the matching funds the centre will offer to supplement the $1,250 combined CHCI and centerNet contributions toward the applicant’s trip; and iii) a short two-page CV. Applications should be sent to the Kule Institute for Advanced Study > at the University of Alberta. What sort of support will be provided? CHCI and centerNet have negotiated a support package for participants, encouraging matching support from the applicant’s home institution. -- CHCI will provide $1,000 USD in support for up to 10 participants outside Australia who are sponsored by CHCI institutes. centerNet will provide a further $250 USD in support for these participants. -- CHCI will provide $250 USD in support for up to 5 participants resident in Australia. Preference will be given to those affiliated with a centre that is a member of the Australasian Consortium of Humanities Research Centres (ACHRC). -- Students from UWS should apply to the UWS bursary scheme, which will be internally advertised. -- The sponsoring CHCI institutes are expected to provide matching support to the applicants if they are accepted. -- Successful applicants will be provided with catering during the 2-day seminar. -- Successful applicants will also be provided with a conference registration subsidy of $100 per new scholar (reducing the cost to $295 AUD, which includes full conference catering). The Kule Institute for Advanced Study at the University of Alberta is organizing this seminar on behalf of CHCI and centerNet. Rachel Hendery (Senior Lecturer in Digital Humanities, UWS) and Geoffrey Rockwell (Director, Kule Institute for Advanced Study, University of Alberta, Canada) will convene the New Scholars Seminar. New Scholars Seminar Programme: The programme for the seminar will be developed by the participants once accepted and coordinated by the Kule Institute for Advanced Study. The idea is to empower new scholars to develop their own research directions and collaborations. There will therefore be two phases: 1. Before the on-site portion of the Seminar there will be an online component. Participants will share their Statements and negotiate what will happen during the seminar. We expect there will be clusters of research interests that emerge which can form the intellectual backbone of the Seminar. KIAS will coordinate an online conversation that will encourage leadership to emerge from within the group so that the actual structure of the on-site days will be primarily organized by the participants. 2. The on-site portion of the Seminar will take place over two days before the DH2015 conference (29 and 30 June). The program will include short presentations by participants addressing issues identified in online discussion and unconference activities. Also included will be a panel of senior researchers from the DH community discussing careers in the digital humanities and an opportunity to talk with these researchers in small groups. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E9F31B72; Wed, 4 Mar 2015 09:53:31 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 519EEB41; Wed, 4 Mar 2015 09:53:31 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 713C2B41; Wed, 4 Mar 2015 09:53:29 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150304085329.713C2B41@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2015 09:53:29 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.787 call for hosts: DH2017 and DH2018 X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150304085331.2010.93116@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 787.

Traditionally, the DH conference alternated only between North America and Europe, but a new protocol is meant to broaden the geographical distribution of ADHO events. DH 2015 is the first ADHO joint conference to be held in another region of the globe, and the 2016 conference will return to Europe. We therefore solicit proposals to host: DH 2017 anywhere in the United States or Canada; and DH 2018 anywhere in the world, but with a strong preference for sites outside Europe and the US or Canada. We are particularly interested in proposals from areas where developed or developing digital humanities communities and organizations have not previously hosted a DH conference. But please note that the local organizers must be members of one of the ADHO constituent organizations, listed above. The conference regularly attracts approximately 500 attendees, with 3-4 days of papers and posters. There are normally 4-6 parallel sessions per time slot, and a small number of plenary presentations and receptions. Meetings of the committees of the constituent organizations precede the conference, and lunchtime slots are normally used for member meetings of ADHO organizations. The peer-reviewed academic program is developed by an international Program Committee appointed by ADHO constituent organizations. Local organizers at the host institution are responsible for the conference web site, provision of facilities, the production of a collection of abstracts, a conference banquet, and any other social events that the local hosts think appropriate. The conference is entirely self-financed through conference fees and any other financial contributions that the local organizer is able to arrange. ADHO expects no payment from the local host in the event that the conference makes a profit, but no financial support is provided for the conference by ADHO or its constituent organizations, except in relation to ADHO awards, such as named prizes or bursaries. ADHO does offer local organizers a modest incentive to ensure that the membership status of registrants is validated. In consultation with the ADHO Program Committee, the local organizer may suggest plenary speakers whose travel, subsistence, and registration must be funded from the conference budget. The local organizer is expected to set (and verify) three levels of registration fees: for members of ADHO constituent organizations, for non-members, and for students. The difference between the fee levels for members and non-members should make becoming a member of one of our organizations cost-effective. ADHO uses the conference management system Conftool, and the ADHO Infrastructure and Conference Coordinating committees provide support for this system, including access to data from previous conferences. Local organizers are required to use the Conftool system for registering participants and including them in special events such as the banquet, but actual credit card payments may be processed outside Conftool, by the local organizer. Proposals should include: an overview of facilities at the host institution; a summary of local institutional engagement and support for the organizer, and contingency plans in case of problems; possible arrangements for social events, to include the conference banquet; options for accommodation (with provisional costs, and attention to low-cost student housing); travel information and advice for participants; a provisional budget, with an estimated registration fee; options for payment (credit card, foreign currency etc) by participants; and any other information that will help the ADHO Steering Committee make a selection. Proposers must be prepared to give a short presentation and to answer questions at the ADHO Steering Committee meeting at the DH2015 conference in Sydney, Australia. Both the 2017 and 2018 hosts will be selected in Sydney, and the 2019 (European) host will be selected in Kraków. Potential organizers are invited to discuss their plans informally with the chair of the ADHO Conference Coordinating Committee, Bethany Nowviskie (bethany [at] virginia [dot] edu) and with vice-chair and former local organizer Claire Clivaz (claire [dot] clivaz [at] unil [dot] ch) as soon as possible. Protocols, guidelines, information about past conferences, and a memorandum of understanding between ADHO and local organizers can be found here: http://adho.org/conference. Sample budgets and other information may be available for planning purposes on request. Proposals should be submitted to Nowviskie and Clivaz in draft form by late May.

Forty years on from the advent of digital humanities computing, there is a flood of case-study work that explores specific instances of computational methods (e.g. close and distant reading via textual analysis, visualization methods for social networks, etc) being developed and then utilized within the digital humanities. Yet, despite this cross-pollination of methodology to the humanities, little has been done to discuss methodology outside of the project-based context in either the contemporary or future contexts. We know the specific results of particular methods within a given project, but much less about how those processes and workflows would function outside of that singular dataset or specific area of study. Several questions arising from current practice remain unanswered: Can Digital Methods fully realize the promise of humanities and arts-driven inquiry when confronted with complex datasets? Is Digital Methodology in conflict with efforts to conduct micro or local level analyses as it encourages the use of “Big Data” and other large-scale longue durée-type analyses? Does Digital Methodology offer its own problematic system of assumptions? What grounds have humanists ceded to scientists? What impact does this have on the tools created and the future of Digital Methodology? How should we train the next generation of scholars to deal with complex cultural records, and to interrogate and argue for tools suitable for humanities inquiry? This special edition of the International Journal of Arts and Humanities Computing (IJHAC) seeks submissions from scholars who explore what the future of Digital Methodology will be ten, fifteen, twenty or even fifty years in the future. We seek contributions that might address the following: - In an environment where resources for humanities education are reduced, how might the decline of humanistic and artistic disciplines challenge the future of digital methods? - Is Digital Methodology for the Humanities & Arts something distinct from data science or other computational methods? Or alternately, has the underlying reliance on “data” forged a common methodology across previously distinct disciplines? - What might the critical theoretical perspectives (e.g. Feminist, post-colonial, etc) offer to Digital Methodology? - What problems might scholars need to account for in their digital methods if we anticipate a future where copyright, international law, and publishing systems become more restrictive? - How might conflicts between or syntheses of analog and digital methodologies lead to a richer system of approaches? - What might non-western systems of Digital Methodology bring to the future of the Digital Humanities? - How might digital techniques and approaches from other disciplines impact the future of Digital Humanities? - How might Digital Methodologies, Digital assumptions, and modes of thinking destabilize fundamental humanistic and artistic scholarly assumptions? The Future of Digital Methods for Complex Datasets invites applications from faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students, and staff from cultural heritage institutions, as well as the general public with a serious interest in digital humanities and/or arts methodology regardless of rank, position, or affiliation. Collaboratively authored submissions, submissions from minority applicants, and those located outside the US and Canada are especially welcomed. Abstracts will be reviewed by the special edition co-editors in conjunction with IJHAC editors. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full manuscripts by 1 August 2015 with review of manuscripts taking place in August and September. The special edition will be published, in print and online, in 2016. Contributions to this special edition should take the form of critical essays, varying in length from 2,000–6,000 words inclusive of endnotes. The editorial team will consult with authors of selected abstracts about the word count of their contributions. This special edition will be available in English and all materials should be submitted in English; however, authors are encouraged to make available non-english versions of their materials under the pre-print Green Open Access rules noted below. Questions regarding this CFP may be directed to Jennifer Guiliano at jenguiliano@gmail.com or Mia Ridge at Mia.Ridge@open.ac.uk. Dr. Guiliano is Assistant Professor of History at the Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and co-director of the Humanities Intensive Learning & Teaching Institute, a US-based digital humanities training organization.

The term of the Field School runs from 8 May to 20 June, 2015 (classes in session from 11 May to 12 June). The Field School in the Digital Humanities offers students an opportunity to think critically about digital culture: everything from personal experiences with social media to putting together scholarly digital projects connected to research in humanities disciplines. Alongside learning to work in the humanities mark up language, TEI, used in making scholarly digital objects, students also explore key histories, methodologies, and theories in the DH field in seminar classes that meet multiple times a week. It is designed to be an immersive experience with practical and theoretical academic components and lots of support for individual student enterprise. Upon successful completion of the Field School, the students earn 6.0 elective credits in the Canadian academic system (details of credit transfer internal to the student's home university). As the Field School runs over the month of May, students may wish to attend other training institutes over the summer in order to gain further DH-related skills. The links below provide more information about the Field School.

In certain respects, then, code has taken the place of mathematics as the epistemic basis and the medium of expression of knowledge. While code can be reasoned about mathematically, such that the correctness of a given program can be mathematically established, this is rarely done in practice. This has led to a miscognition and misapplication of concepts such as "stochastic," "analytics," "probabilistic," "modeling," "optimization," and others. It is this panel’s goal to disrupt, dismantle, and dislocate these hyper-positivistic concepts, and to critically engage with the epistemological questions to which this computational shift gives rise. How do code and the results of computations figure into descriptions of knowledge? What role do code and computation play in the justification of knowledge? How are different practices of programming tied to different epistemic commitments? What becomes hidden and what becomes visible with the emerging use of code in knowledge production? These questions have been approached by the disciplines of software studies, critical code studies, platform studies, game studies, information studies, and other areas. While this fragmentary disciplinization was historically useful, we feel it is crucial to break out of the constraints of these microdisciplines to critically engage with the cross-cutting concerns raised by the arrival of epistemological computation itself.

Recognizing that singular projects such as a case study or one-time experiment can have far-reaching implications, while longer-term projects demand ongoing planning, we have created for the first time two tiers of funding. Both funding tiers support the development of standards, practices, methodologies, and workflows dedicated to the stewardship of humanities collections. Tier I, which is for projects up to $75,000, supports planning, basic research, and iterative tool development. Tier II, which is for projects up to $350,000, supports advanced implementation and applied research. Also, starting in 2016, NEH will host an annual Research and Development Project Directors' Meeting. The event will present NEH-funded projects and engage the public in a range of issues related to cultural heritage stewardship. The Research and Development program invites non-profit institutions to submit proposals for both funding tiers by June 25, 2015. The newly updated program, with its combination of planning and implementation grants, is intended to motivate the cultural heritage community to form new partnerships; forge collaboration across cultural heritage, preservation, and the sciences; and to think broadly about how new standards, practices, methodologies, and workflows will help shape the work of the humanities now and well into the future. To help inspire ideas for Research and Development projects, we have compiled a working list of humanities collection types, research topics, and fields for your consideration. Bear in mind, the list is by no means comprehensive or exhaustive; we always invite creative submissions in areas not listed below. Ultimately the applicants determine the trends in research and development. Collection and Format Types * archaeological and ethnographic artifacts * architectural and cartographic records * archives * art and visual culture * books, manuscripts, and special collections * digital media * geospatial information * language materials * material culture * moving image and sound recordings * news media * prints and photographs * research databases * software * time-based media and born-digital art * web, social media, and e-mail Research Fields and Topics * accessibility for the disabled * appraisal and selection * cataloging and description * digital forensics * digital preservation * disaster preparedness and emergency response * humanities research data management and curation * indigenous cultural heritage practices * knowledge organization * linked open data * material analysis * metrics for evaluating use of humanities materials * preventive conservation * textual encoding * visualization The application deadline for Research and Development is June 25, 2015. For complete information on how to apply, visit our information page: http://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/research-and-development. A pdf of the guidelines may be downloaded here.

It has been more than a decade since Creative Commons published its first licenses (2002) and 25 years since the TEI began describing ways of creating machine actionable editions (the late 1980s). If anyone wants to see what is possible, they should familiarize themselves with the Papyrological Editor at http://papyri.info/. If you feel that the infrastructure at http://papyri.info/ does not go far enough and you are a student of Greek, Latin or some other language, then you should see what you can do yourself to help improve the situation. I forward the beginning of a blog post that considers this transition but that particularly focuses on the problems of our legacy data: what do we do about textual data to which commercial entities can now claim copyright and over which they can exercise control? Getting to open data for Classical Greek and Latin: breaking old habits and undoing the damage -- a call for comment! Share http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php Gregory Crane Professor of Classics and Winnick Family Chair of Technology and Entrepreneurship Tufts University Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Digital Humanities Open Access Officer University of Leipzig March 4, 2015 Philologists must for at least two reasons open up the textual data upon which they base their work. First, researchers need to be able to download, modify and redistribute their textual data if they are to fully exploit both new methods that center around algorithmic analysis (e.g., corpus linguistics, computational linguistics, text mining, and various applications of machine learning) and new scholarly products and practices that computational methods enable (e.g., on-going and decentralized production of micro-publications by scholars from around the world, as well as scalable evaluation systems to facilitate contributions from, and learning by, citizen scientists). In some cases, issues of privacy may come into play (e.g., where we study Greek and Latin data produced by our students) but our textual editions of, and associated annotations on, long-dead authors do not fall into this category. Second, open data is essential if researchers working with historical languages such as Classical Greek and Latin are to realize either their obligation to conduct the most effective (as well as transparent) research and or their obligation to advance the role that those languages can play in the intellectual life of society as a whole. It is not enough to make our 100 EUR monographs available under an Open Access license. We must also make as accessible as possible the primary sources upon which those monographs depend. This blog post addresses two barriers that prevent students of historical languages such as Classical Greek and Latin from shifting to a fully open intellectual ecosystem: (1) the practice of giving control of scholarly work to commercial entities that then use their monopoly rights to generate revenue and (2) the legacy rights over critical editions that scholars have already handed over to commercial entities....

I will get to the contents, but first, to feed our thoughts on how books can be written, I quote the first paragraph of the Preface: > This book began at "The Strangelovian Sciences" workshop, held at the > Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin (MPIWG) in > March 2010. Out of that workshop a Working Group of six crystallized, > who met once again in Berlin for six weeks in the summer of 2010 to > write, discuss, revise, discuss again, and revise yet one more time > in order to produce a jointly authored book. Our conversations, both > formal and informal, were wide ranging, critical, unpredictable, > sometimes heated, and always engrossing. Without them, this book > could not have come into being, no matter how diligently each of us > worked in solitude. We regard it as a collective work. An impeccably > rational device ordered the authors' names: a randomizing computer > program. Now for the contents. The book has a place on our bookshelf for its detailed portrait of a Cold War project to redefine rationality in the light and darkness of impending thermonuclear warfare. A loosely connected group of highly influential people in the U.S. (Herbert Simon, Oskar Morgenstern, Herman Kahn, Anatol Rapoport, Thomas Shelling et al) "harnessed this picture of rationality -- optimizing, formal, algorithmic, and mechanical -- in their quest to understand phenomena as diverse as economic transactions, biological evolution, political elections, international relations, and military strategy." As for relevance to us, consider that this period, from the explosion of the first Russian nuclear bomb in 1949 (when Fr Busa began his work) to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 (when the Web was released), was when digital humanities as we know it now began. It is easy enough once you have the dates of the Cold War in sight to understand in broad terms how scholars might be iffy about computers, but the situation gets far more interesting when you begin to realise how profoundly the world in which these scholars lived and worked was affected -- and remains affected.

Using resources from information technologies, numerous existing projects are cataloguing, editing, indexing and digitising letters and manuscripts, and making them available to a wide community of researchers and collaborators from the public. The field of digital humanities has transformed the ways in which researchers look at manuscripts and letters: online editions are now accompanied by rich metadata, which facilitates research; digitised images mean that users can zoom in on details that previously needed good eyesight and a magnifying glass; and crowdsourcing ensures that collaborative work not only involves academics working amongst themselves, but that it also inclusively embraces the knowledge and the enthusiasm of members of the general public. The workshop brings together academics and cultural sector professionals who work on projects specifically involving digitisation of correspondence and manuscripts related to natural history and medicine, from the 16th to the 19th century. They will present these projects and discuss ideas and practices, such as technological issues, collaboration and coordination between related projects, as well as developing areas of digital humanities, such as crowdsourcing. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2015 15:48:09 -0500 From: Hannah L Jacobs Subject: Call for participation: Visualizing Venice In-Reply-To: <3C940B31F30FF0429A87D63313A97DCD0906F181@w14mbx07.gb.so.ccs> Applications are now being accepted for the 2015 Visualizing Venice Workshop. In this ten-day workshop, participants engage with historical and cultural visualization technologies as they explore topics in art history, architecture, urban history, and new media studies related to Venice. The workshop will take place from June 1-12, 2015, at Venice International University in Venice, Italy. This year’s theme, "The Biennale and the City,” will focus on the history of the Venice Biennale from several perspectives and scales of reference: as a case study in architectural history in the Giardini and the Arsenale; as a set of exhibitions undertaken both on those sites and in more ephemeral sites around the city; as an aggregation of artistic forces hailing from around the world; and as a phenomenon with a profound impact upon the life and culture of the city of Venice itself. Scholars from Duke University and Università Iuav di Venezia will teach participants in a format that combines content on the Biennale with digital skills for digital mapping, 3D modeling, mobile application development, and time based media authorship, enabling participants to engage historical questions with emerging digital tools. As part of the workshop, participants will work collaboratively to create projects using the tools they have learned, with the goals of creating high-quality, public-facing research products suitable for a general audience and of identifying potential areas to explore in their own future research. This workshop is designed for participants at the Ph.D or post-doctoral level in Interpretive Humanities (including Cultural Patrimony, History of Art, Architecture and Urbanism, History, Geography, Architecture, Archaeology, and other relevant disciplines). At the end of the course, participants are issued an official Duke University/Università Iuav/Venice International University joint Certificate. For more information and to apply: http://www.univiu.org/shss/seminars-summer-schools/visualizing-venice-summer-workshop . Application deadline: April 15, 2015.

As part of the anniversary celebrations, the Royal Society has published two special journal issues in which modern experts revisit landmark papers published in Philosophical Transactions to explore how they have impacted science across the globe. Highlights in the celebratory issues include: science writer Philip Ball, writing on Alan Turing’s paper ‘Chemical Basis of Morphogenesis’ on the spontaneous formation of patterns in the natural world; Dr Nick Lane reflects on Leeuwenhoek’s first glance into the microscopic world of bacteria; Patricia Fara explores Newton’s 1672 paper which presented his new theory about light and colour; and Jim Al-Khalili takes a look at Faraday’s ‘Experimental researches in electricity’. More details of these open access issues are available at: http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/373/2039 http://rstb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/370/1666 Philosophical Transactions pioneered the concepts of scientific priority and peer review which, together with archiving and dissemination, provide the model for almost 30,000 scientific journals today. To celebrate the anniversary the Royal Society is holding a series of events looking back at the history of Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society and forwards to the future of scientific publication.

We hope you will be able to join us, and please share this message with anyone you think may be interested. We will be live-streaming the event on the website blog for those of you who cannot be in London (http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/). *Lost Visions: retrieving the visual element of printed books* *Abstract*: Despite the mass digitization of books, illustrations have remained more or less invisible. As an aesthetic form, illustration is conventionally positioned at the bottom of a hierarchy that places painting and sculpture at the top. The hybridity or bimediality of illustration is also problematic, the genre having fallen between the cracks of literary studies and art history. In a digital context, illustration has fared no better: new technologies can aid the editing of a literary text far more successfully than they can deal with the images that accompany it. This paper focuses on the challenges and the implications of an AHRC-funded Big Data project that will make searchable online over a million book illustrations from the British Library’s collections. The images span the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century, cover a variety of reproductive techniques (including etching, wood engraving, lithography and photography), and are taken from around 68,000 works of literature, history, geography and philosophy. The paper identifies issues relating to the improvement of bibliographic metadata and the analysis of the iconographic features of the images, which impact on our understanding of ‘the image’ in Digital Humanities and the negotiation of Big Data more generally. The work undertaken as part of the Lost Visions project allows for the further development of Illustration Studies, repositioning visual culture in the largely text-based process of digitisation and problematising modes of textual production. *Speakers: *Julia Thomas, Nicky Lloyd and Ian Harvey (Cardiff) Our full seminar list can be found on the IHR website: http://www.history .ac.uk/events/seminars/321 --- We hope to see you there Adam Crymble Convenor, Digital History Seminar adam.crymble@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5324EC17; Mon, 9 Mar 2015 09:28:57 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A6EDB891; Mon, 9 Mar 2015 09:28:56 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 53980C11; Mon, 9 Mar 2015 09:28:54 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150309082854.53980C11@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2015 09:28:54 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.799 events: Goettingen Dialog X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============8264719496903790541==" Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150309082857.17537.60473@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org --===============8264719496903790541== Content-Type: text/plain Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 799.

The focus of SFCM are actual working systems for linguistically motivated morphological analysis and generation, computational frameworks for implementing such systems, and linguistic frameworks suitable for computational implementation. Applications of morphological systems, e.g., in natural language processing, linguistics, or digital humanities, are also relevant topics. From the point of view of computational linguistics, morphological resources form the basis for all higher-level applications. This is especially true for languages with a rich morphology like German, Finnish, Polish, or Latin. A morphology component should thus be capable of analyzing single wordforms as well as whole corpora. For many practical applications, not only morphological analysis, but also generation is required, i.e., the production of surfaces corresponding to specific categories. Apart from uses in computational linguistics, there are numerous practical applications that can benefit from morphological analysis and/or generation or even require it, for example in textual analysis, word processing, information retrieval, or dialog systems. These applications have specific requirements for morphological components, including requirements from software engineering, such as programming interfaces or robustness. The proceedings of SFCM 2015 will be published by Springer-Verlag in their CCIS series (as for the previous editions of SFCM). The SFCM 2015 keynote will be given by Magda Ševčíková (Charles University in Prague) on the topic of Morphology within the Multi-Layered Annotation Scenario of Prague Dependency Treebank. SFCM is an activity of the SIG Generation and Parsing of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL). * Topics The topics of this workshop include technical and linguistic aspects related to the development of systems and frameworks for computational morphology, applications and evaluation of such systems and frameworks, as well as interactions between computational morphology and formal, quantitative, and descriptive morphology. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Software frameworks for developing morphological components. - Open-source systems, tools, and resources for analyzing and generating word forms. - Linguistic frameworks for computational morphology. - Implementations of formal models of morphology for individual languages and language families, including historical languages and language variants. - Use of morphological analysis and generation in NLP applications. - Use of morphological systems in linguistic research, i.e., studies that address formal morphological issues with the help of computational methods, tools, and resources. - Use of morphological systems in digital humanities research. - Approaches for handling phenomena at the interface between morphology and neighboring levels of linguistic description, such as phonetics, morphophonology, and syntax. - Methods and criteria for evaluating morphological components with respect to performance, quality, and coverage. - Software engineering aspects: APIs, robustness, performance, hardware/software requirements, resource usage. - License models, versioning, and legal aspects. The workshop includes a demo session for presenting individual systems and resources and in-depth discussion. * Submissions We invite researchers to submit full papers of up to 20 pages (including references) or short papers of up to 10 pages. Long papers constitute an excellent opportunity to publish citable, in-depth descriptions of systems and frameworks. Submissions must be in English. Reviewing of papers will be double-blind by the members of the program committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Papers submitted at review stage must not contain the authors' names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors' identity. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to present their research at the workshop as talk or as a poster. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the workshop. The papers must use the Springer-Verlag LNCS format. We recommend using the LaTeX2e class provided by Springer-Verlag. Please strictly follow the LNCS guidelines. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format.

This is a real corpus, rather than just n-grams (as with the Google Books n-grams; see a comparison at http://googlebooks.byu.edu/compare-googleBooks.asp). ---------------------- We are pleased to announce that the Corpus of Historical American English (COHA) is now available in downloadable full-text format http://corpus.byu.edu/full-text/, for use on your own computer. COHA joins COCA http://corpus.byu.edu/coca/ and GloWbE, which have been available in downloadable full-text format since March 2014. The downloadable version of COHA contains 385 million words of text in more than 115,000 separate texts http://corpus.byu.edu/full-text/coha_full_text.asp , covering fiction, popular magazines, newspaper articles, and non-fiction books from the 1810s to the 2000s. At 385 million words in size, the downloadable COHA corpus is much larger than any other structured historical corpus of English. With this large amount of data, you can carry out many types of research that would not be possible with much smaller 5-10 million word historical corpora of English. The corpus is available in several formats: sentence/paragraph, PoS-tagged and lemmatized (one word per line), and for input into a relational database. Samples http://corpus.byu.edu/full-text/samples.asp of each format (3.6 million words each) are available at the full-text website. We hope that this new resource is of value to you in your research and teaching. ============================================ Mark Davies Professor of Linguistics / Brigham Young University http://davies-linguistics.byu.edu/ ** Corpus design and use // Linguistic databases ** ** Historical linguistics // Language variation ** ** English, Spanish, and Portuguese ** ============================================ --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 9 Mar 2015 11:55:11 -0400 From: Amanda Visconti Subject: Invitation for the Open Beta of the Infinite Ulysses Participatory Digital Edition Dear colleagues, Today I launched a social digital edition of James Joyce's Ulysses http://www.InfiniteUlysses.com as part of my doctoral dissertation. I'd like to invite you to explore the site and share any feedback you might have about your experience or how you might want to use such a text in the classroom. Infinite Ulysses (InfiniteUlysses.com http://www.InfiniteUlysses.com ) is a "participatory" digital edition: it uses an authoritative text (the Modernist Version Project's transcription of the 1922 Shakespeare and Co. first printing), but allows readers of all backgrounds to highlight the text and add annotations (interpretations, comments, and questions) with the goal of creating a shared space of scholars and public enthusiasts discussing the novel. A variety of filters let you customize the annotations you see to your needs (e.g. don't show spoilers or translations of Latin; do show definitions, instances of intertextuality or mentions of Hamlet, and questions from other readers). The edition is useful in the classroom, whether as a reading supplement, assignment ("add x annotations to the first episode of the novel"), or as a way to prep for class (e.g. remind yourself of the kinds of questions first-time readers will have about the novel). You may also be interested in the site as part of a digital humanities dissertation with a unique format and methodology: design, code, user testing, research blogging, and a final whitepaper discussing project outcomes. I've blogged the dissertation over the course of the project at LiteratureGeek.com http://www.LiteratureGeek.com . Happy to hear any feedback or answer any questions via infiniteulysses@gmail.com!

Carvalho and I am a PhD candidate at the University of Genoa (Italy) and Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands), as part of the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate in Interactive and Cognitive Environments (ICEPhD). The focus of my research is on educational serious games, and particularly the theory behind how gaming and pedagogical elements are connected to each other in a serious game to reach the game's educational goals. If you are a serious games expert: I need your help! I would like to invite you to participate in an evaluation of two models for serious games analysis. This evaluation involves playing an online serious game, analyzing it and filling in a questionnaire. The evaluation does not have to be completed at once. You can divide it in the way that better suits your availability. The whole process should take about 3 hours to complete, including playing the game. In exchange for your time, I will offer a 20€ gift voucher for either Google Play or Amazon. This will be offered for the first 13 participants to complete the questionnaire in full before March 18th. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Please visit: http://mairacarvalho.com/sg_survey for more information and to access the link to the questionnaire. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Please fill in the questionnaire until March 18th (Wednesday) to be eligible for the 20€ gift voucher! Only the first 13 participants to complete the questionnaire will be offered the voucher. DON'T HAVE TIME? If you don't have the time to fill in the questionnaire, you can still help! Please forward this e-mail to any other serious game researcher, serious game designer, PhD candidates (2nd year onwards) and post-docs on games/serious games that you might know. Spreading the word to help me reach other serious games researchers will already help me immensely. Thank you in advance!

Space, place, and landscape have a significant impact on communications, on the systems of communications that succeed as well as those that fail and on the heritage of communications systems. Recent scholarship in communications studies and the history of communications has focused on how modern electronic communications influence evolving concepts of time, space, and geography and the crucial role of communications in experiencing spatiality, temporality, spatiality and mobility. At our one-day symposium, we wish to consider the inverse: the impact of space, place, and landscape upon communications systems and their heritage from 1700 to the present day. We also wish to consider communications systems in transit, how changing locations impact upon the transfer of communications knowledge and technology. We are especially interested in papers which take an interdisciplinary approach to the history of communications and use inventive methods for a broad exploration of history of communications. Our symposium will be convened by Professor Robert Fox, Emeritus Professor of the History of Science, University of Oxford and Professor Graeme Gooday, Head of School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science and Professor of History of Science and Technology, University of Leeds. Space, place, and landscape in history of communications will take place at the Weston Library in central Oxford on Tuesday 16 June 2015 from 10am to 4pm. Registration is free and we will have a small budget to cover speakers’ travel expenses within the UK but participants are asked to cover their own accommodation costs as well as travel outside of the UK. Our conference will be of interest to historians of science and technology, historical geographers, academic historians, archivists, social scientists, students, academics in communication studies, and other more generally interested in the history of communications and technology. We invite proposals for thirty-minute papers on the subject of space and place in communications. Proposals of no more than 250 words, together with the name, institutional affiliation and a brief one-page CV of the speaker should be sent to Elizabeth Bruton at elizabeth.bruton@gmail.com. The closing date for submissions is Friday 3 April 2015. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 4D791BE0; Thu, 12 Mar 2015 07:48:17 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 875E7BC2; Thu, 12 Mar 2015 07:48:16 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 40A79B9A; Thu, 12 Mar 2015 07:48:14 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150312064814.40A79B9A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 07:48:14 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.805 our pedagogy?

The purpose of this project is to allow students to add places of narrative importance to a map, providing textual and visual content for reference. Developers should use the aforementioned link as an example of project content and basic functionality. We require someone with expertise in the Web technologies necessary to build this platform. Pre-existing open source libraries may be used, but all code must be appropriately commented, and thorough documentation detailing all modular development and integration must be provided. From an operational perspective, the finished development should work as follows: 1. Students will place data into a structured format 2. This data will appear on the front-end map 3.

The two-year residency will begin on August 10, 2015. The position is funded through the generosity of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and is part of a four-year initiative, Digital Bridges for Humanistic Inquiry: A Grinnell College/University of Iowa Partnership. The purpose of the grant is to develop humanities-centered collaborations in the digital liberal arts that build on the complementary strengths of a liberal arts college and a research university. We seek to weave the digital humanities more deeply and thoughtfully into the curriculum at both institutions while also building cross-institutional bridges to connect Grinnell College and the University of Iowa intellectually and pedagogically. Our shared mission is to create knowledge with our students, learn what forms of collaboration best serve the humanities, and to share that knowledge, along with emerging scholarly digital projects and digitally energized pedagogy, with colleagues across the country. Therefore, we are especially interested in candidates with demonstrated expertise in using digital technologies and digital pedagogy to enhance teaching and learning. Teaching The Postdoctoral Scholar will work closely with faculty members in the University of Iowa Public Humanities in a Digital World, Digital Studio for Public Arts and Humanities, and Obermann Center for Advanced Studies. The Scholar will teach one course each semester in University of Iowa’s new Public Digital Humanities Graduate Certificate program. In fall 2015, the Scholar will teach “Digital Humanities Theory and Practice,” the introductory course for the graduate certificate, in collaboration with the director of the certificate program, School of Library and Information Sciences Professor James Elmborg. In the spring semester, the Scholar will teach a course in her or his area of digital expertise that fulfills a requirement for the certificate (which will also be open to advanced undergraduates). Project Management The Digital Bridges initiative will include summer institutes, skills-based workshops, faculty development opportunities, and the development of new undergraduate courses. We seek a Postdoctoral Scholar with experience in project management who can work with faculty members to design institutes and workshops during the two years of residency. The Postdoctoral Scholar will also advise faculty and graduate students as they develop digital collaborations. Research The Postdoctoral Scholar will have office space, a computer, and staff support at the Obermann Center, and will be invited to participate in the Obermann Fellows’ work-in-progress seminar and in other scholarly activities at the Center. Professor Elmborg and Obermann Center director Professor Teresa Mangum will work closely with the Postdoctoral Scholar as colleagues and mentors. RESPONSIBILITIES QUALIFICATIONS This two-year Postdoctoral Scholar position is a full-time, twelve-month salaried appointment. The annual salary is $42,840 plus benefits (described on the University of Iowa Graduate College Office of Postdoctoral Scholars website http://postdoc.grad.uiowa.edu/policies-and-benefits/university-benefits). The grant includes limited funding for travel to conferences and other research costs for professional activities that both assist the candidate and further the objectives of the grant. 40% RESEARCH Participate in individual and collaborative research in the digital humanities. 30% TEACHING Develop a course each semester for the Graduate Certificate in Public Digital Humanities. 30% ADMINSTRATION Work with the Digital Bridges organizing committee to plan workshops, summer institutes, and other events. Minimum Requirements: -- Candidates must have a Ph.D. in a related field in hand before August 16, 2015 and must be no more than five years from receiving the Ph.D. -- Expertise in digital humanities as evidenced by successful integration of digital tools, approaches, and pedagogy in humanities research and teaching. -- At least 2 years of teaching experience in an academic setting as a teaching assistant or an instructor (undergraduate and/or graduate teaching). -- Experience in the use and application of one or more DH technologies (e.g., visualization, text-mining, text-encoding, GIS, network analysis, database design, dynamic digital editions, presentation and content management tools) for creating and transmitting scholarship and/or in teaching. -- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team environment. -- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Preferred Qualifications: -- Experience with digital platforms and technologies, especially in the area of teaching. -- Experiences in a digital working environment, such as a library, digital lab, or center. -- Experience in project management and/or in organizing workshops or conferences.

The new one is Jim Ridolfo and William Hart-Davidson, eds., Rhetoric and the Digital Humanities (Chicago 2015). It is a strong attempt to bring together rhetoric studies and digital humanities, which share much in common. It is a sad reflection on our disciplinary conditioning that one must argue for the interrelation of these two fields, and a warning to us that the popularity of digital humanities doesn't continue to lead to an exclusionary attitude either from within or without. How do we achieve the "big tent" without become indefinite? Through exercises such as this one, I'd think, through looking for and finding common ground, then asking what makes it common. The old one is Evelyn Fox Keller and Elisabeth A. Lloyd, eds., Keywords in Evolutionary Biology (Harvard 1992) -- not for the whole book, as valuable as it is for those who find interest in biology and its development, but for the editors' Introduction, 6 pp. You may know Keller's long preoccupation with language as a way into an historical understanding of the sciences, biology in particular. This is another expression of that preoccupation, which I'd say needs to be ours as well for the many disciplines that contribute or could contribute to the growth of digital humanities. We need but do not yet have a language. Keller has helped enormously in showing how to tease out that which comes with the disciplinary languages we inherit. Comments?

This summer, we're excited to offer a practical course on the creation, preservation, and use of electronic texts and their associated images in the humanities, with an in-depth focus on Special Collections materials. Taught by David Seaman, Associate Librarian for Information Management at Dartmouth College Library, "XML in Action: Creating Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Texts" will be aimed primarily (although not exclusively) at librarians, publishers, and scholars keen to develop, use, publish, and control electronic texts for library, research, scholarly communication, or teaching purposes. The week will center around the creation of a set of archival-quality etexts and digital images (texts such as eighteenth and nineteenth century letters, which are short enough to allow each participant to take an entire document through all its creation stages during the course). Topics include: XML tagging and conversion; using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines; Unicode; metadata issues (including a discussion of METS and Open Archives Initiative harvesting), project planning and funding; and the manipulation of XML texts using stylesheets for re-publishing HTML, in ebook formats, and in PDF. Rare Book School is currently accepting applications for this course (offered 5–10 July 2015 on the University of Virginia campus), and for more than thirty additional courses on all aspects of book history and bibliography. To apply, please visit myRBS (http://cacsprd.web.virginia.edu/RBSApp), set up your account, and submit your application materials. For general information on the application process, visit the RBS Application & Admissions page (http://www.rarebookschool.org/applications/). If you have any questions about either the course or the application proces, please contact us at rbsprograms@virginia.edu. We look forward to hearing from you! ----------------------- Ansel Payne, Ph.D. Program Assistant Rare Book School, at the University of Virginia 114 Alderman Library/POB 400103 Charlottesville, VA 22904-4103 T: 434-243-2912, F: 434-924-8824 RBS Main T: 434-924-8851 www.rarebookschool.org http://www.rarebookschool.org --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:53:30 +0000 From: "Hardie, Andrew" Subject: Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities - Call for Participation Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/humanities.php Lancaster University, UK 14th to 17th July 2015 Call for Participation We are pleased to announce the first Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities. This free-to-attend summer school is taught by an interdisciplinary group of Lancaster University scholars from departments including History, English and Creative Writing, Linguistics and English Language, and Computing and Communications. Across the Arts and Humanities, a number of parallel trends are developing new methods, especially digital methods, for reading text and texts. We see this in the form of the Digital Humanities enterprise, but also in renewed interest in different forms of Distant Reading. Thus there exists a growing need for advanced digital-methods training for Arts and Humanities researchers. Meanwhile, a set of effective tools and techniques have been developed within the discipline of Corpus Linguistics which can answer this methodological need, allowing jointly qualitative-quantitative analyses which go beyond statistical summary to a critical engagement with text and context. The Lancaster Summer School in Corpus Methods for the Humanities has been inaugurated to help explore and extend the benefits of these approaches for researchers, particularly PhD students and other junior researchers, in arts and humanities fields. Programme The programme consists of a series of intensive two-hour sessions, some involving practical work, others more discussion-oriented. Topics include: Introduction to corpus linguistics; Corpus tools and techniques; Collecting corpus data; Foundational techniques - linking quantitative results to qualitative analysis; Foundational techniques – keywords; Foundational techniques – collocation; Studying social history with corpora – prostitution in the 17th century; Using corpora in early modern Literary Studies; Spelling variation – problems, analysis and solutions; Studying conceptual history using EEBO-TCP; Exploring Shakespeare's language with corpus techniques. Speakers include: Alison Findlay, Stephen Pumfrey, Jonathan Culpeper, Ian Gregory, and Tony McEnery. This is one of five co-located Lancaster Summer Schools in Interdisciplinary Digital Methods; see the website for further information: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool Who can attend? This event is aimed at junior humanities researchers - especially PhD students and postdoctoral researchers. Anyone with an interest in the analysis of large-scale textual resources – will find this summer school of interest. How to apply The Summer School is free to attend, but registration in advance is compulsory, as places are limited. The deadline for registrations is Sunday 7th June 2015. The application form is available on the event website: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/summerschool/register.php#humanities as is further information on the programme. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 394D6C14; Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:17:54 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 916BFBD5; Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:17:53 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8C4B6BD5; Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:17:50 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150314071750.8C4B6BD5@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:17:50 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.812 an argument & belief system X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150314071754.6750.54714@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 812. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 07:28:38 +0000 From: Dominic Oldman Subject: Re: 28.810 pubs on note-taking and on concerns for digital humanities In-Reply-To: <20150313062328.C0575BD6@digitalhumanities.org> This sounds very interesting and my poor knowledge of this area (Rhetoric Studies) would benefit from reading this book [1]. However, it may be worth noting that I am implementing practically an argument and belief system (within a BM project/team) using a specialisation of the CIDOCCRMwhich makes it possible to make assertions (beliefs) and convey arguments (observation, inference making and belief adoption). We implement it in the same 'real world' knowledge representation system used to represent 'canonical' data (although this is not a pre-requisite), and means that we can openly and transparently retain the full (connected) provenance of an argument and the assertions that evidence it (back to an original premise) that may take place over large periods of time  - and hopefully use computer reasoning to analyse the discourse. We are developing a software tool at the moment. This type of thing, to me, seems to address the Big Tent issue and is an essential contribution to DH/HC epistemology that helps define what the Tent is and what it is for. Anyway, as long as it isn't too expensive I will purchase a copy. :-) Cheers, Dominic          PS. Happy to explain the KR system to anyone interested - Its called CRMInf (Conceptual Reference Model Inference). Sorry if this is actually off subject and I have misunderstood.  ________________________________ From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Sent: Friday, 13 March 2015, 6:23 _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 82921C19; Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:18:58 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 15745BE1; Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:18:57 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1A6AFBE1; Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:18:53 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150314071854.1A6AFBE1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2015 08:18:53 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.813 Warner on the disfiguring of higher education X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150314071857.6953.60724@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 813.

It may be downloaded from http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n06/marina-warner/learning-my-lesson. I have good reason to believe that we in the U.K. are hardly alone in suffering from the individual and institutional disease she describes. The question for digital humanities, I suppose, is how it can only suffer without becoming an instrument for the propagation of the disfigurement. Comments?

The prize of $1,000 is awarded by SIGCIS, the Special Interest Group for Computers, Information and Society. SIGCIS is part of the Society for the History of Technology. In 2012 the prize was endowed in perpetuity through a generous bequest from the estate of Paul Baran, a legendary computer innovator and entrepreneur best known for his work to develop and promote the packet switching approach on which modern networks are built. Baran was a longtime supporter of work on the history of information technology and named the prize to celebrate the contributions of the Computer History Museum to that field. *2015 Call for Submissions * Books published in 2012, 2013, and 2014 are eligible for the 2015 award. Books in translation are eligible for three years following the date of their publication in English. Publishers, authors, and other interested members of the computer history community are invited to nominate books. Send one copy of the nominated title to each of the committee members listed below.

Lexicons of Early Modern English now includes over 713,000 word-entries! Lexicons of Early Modern English is a growing historical database offering scholars unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts documenting the growth and development of the English language. With the recent additions of the immense Latin-English text, Ortus Vocabulorum, White Kennett's very detailed etymological work, Parochial Antiquities (1695), and Nathan Bailey's 900-page Universal Etymological English Dictionary (1737), this incredible resource now boasts more than 713,000 word entries! The addition of Ortus Vocabulorum completes LEME’s series of the four large Latin and English dictionaries in manuscript and print at the end of the fifteenth century (Promptorium Parvulorum, Catholicon Anglicum, Medulla Grammatice in Pepys MS 2002, and Ortus). http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/lexicons/record.cfm?id=35 Recently added to Lexicons of Early Modern English - http://bit.ly/_leme · Nathan Bailey, Universal Etymological English Dictionary (1737) http://leme.library.utoronto.ca/lexicons/record.cfm?id=1349 · White Kennett, Parochial Antiquities (1695) · Ortus Vocabulorum (1500) Coming soon to LEME · Henry Hexham, A Copious English and Netherdutch Dictionary (1641-42) · Richard Hogarth, Gazophylacium Anglicanum (1689) Use Modern Techniques to Research Early Modern English! 203 searchable lexicons 152 fully analyzed lexicons 713,402 total word entries 493,827 fully analyzed word entries 60,891 total English modern headwords LEME sets the standard for modern linguistic research on the English language.

I think it's related to a presentation I heard at Oxford. On the other hand, I'm reading this post with the eyes of my colleagues in English and History, and I doubt whether this way of presenting it makes any sense to them whatever. Is it possible to describe in plain language what this thing does and what it is that you can do with it that you couldn't do before?

But the last time I looked, the data were accessible only through the vendor's interface. This is very different from the practice of EEBO-TCP, where you can buy the right to access and use the data in any way you please as long as you don't pass the raw data on to others who have not paid for them. Are there plans to make the raw LEME data available to folks who are willing to pay for them? Obviously, free data are better than data you have to pay for, but there is no free lunch, and this is not a call for a "free" LEME in the cash sense of the world. On the other hand, however good an interface, it will always constrain, and seriously constrain, what you can do with the data behind it. It is of the essence of useful data that somebody will do things with them that the original compiler or curator had no idea of. So it ought to be possible for scholars to get unconstrained access to the underlying data. I would be delighted to be told that I'm quite wrong and such access is available. But if I'm not wrong, what are the obstacles to making the data available in a way that is not constrained by the current interface?

The book presents the player-response critical paradigm for video game fiction. It is about the transformation of storytelling in video games: the game is a story world, the story is a personal experience, and play is an act of narration.

Simon Rae wrote to me privately with the results of an Ngram search for "humanities computing" and "Digital Humanities". The first appearance of the latter in the Google Books corpus is in 1994, although without looking at the original texts it is not clear whether in those early years the phrase had its current meaning. Simon comments: "I think the meaning of DH has changed over its brief history, originally it looks like it was used to refer to digital resources rather than the later implication of digital (i.e. computer based) tasks & processes that people employ to work on their resources in the humanities."

In-Reply-To: <20150316053802.BA53A923@digitalhumanities.org> As far as Humanist is concerned, there is an early occurrence of the bigram in Vol. 11 Num. 604 (http://dhhumanist.org/Archives/Virginia/v11/0567.html): "describing and preserving access to digital humanities objects", though maybe in this context "digital" rather qualifies "humanities objects" (what's the opinion of native English speakers on this?). Similarly, in Vol. 14 Num. 866: "What shape should the future digital humanities environment be?" (http://dhhumanist.org/Archives/Virginia/v14/0586.html). I believe the first unambiguous occurrence of the phrase in Humanist is in Vol. 15 Num. 1: "'A Masters Degree in Digital Humanities at the University of Virginia'. Mazel tov!"

As for anecdotal evidence (I believe Desmond may be referring to my essays on the subject as well--see also the "Tactical Term" piece that appears in the Debates volume), I see no reason why oral history/interviews should not be given their due.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2015 09:38:07 -0700 From: Quinn Dombrowski Subject: DiRT becomes centerNet initiative The DiRT (Digital Research Tools) directory (http://dirtdirectory.org) and centerNet (http://dhcenternet.org) are pleased to announce that the DiRT directory has been adopted as the newest centerNet initiative. As a directory of tools for digital research, maintained by an international community of volunteers, DiRT will benefit from closer ties to centerNet’s member centers around the world, as well as to centerNet’s DHCommons project directory (http://dhcomons.org). As a first step towards integrating DiRT and DHCommons, each site is deploying a new feature that pulls in information from the other. “People visit DHCommons to explore the digital projects that have been developed in their field,” explained Ryan Cordell, co-founder of DHCommons and co-editor of the DHCommons overlay journal. “By displaying information from DiRT about the tools that make up these projects, along with a link to where scholars can learn more about those tools, DHCommons will facilitate the development of new initiatives that build upon prior work.” According to DiRT Director Quinn Dombrowski, the integration with DHCommons fills an information gap on DiRT. “We used to have an ‘I use this’ button on DiRT in order to capture how many people use a particular tool, but we found that individual tool users weren’t engaging with DiRT that way. By pulling in information about tool use directly from project profiles, DiRT can show which tools are in use in the digital humanities community without requiring people to do extra data entry. The DHCommons integration is even better than a simple user count. DiRT now displays links directly to the projects where the tool is being used, which provides important context for how, and in which disciplines, the tool is used.” centerNet board Co-Chair Neil Fraistat sees the integration of DHCommons and DiRT as an important step towards strengthening the network of projects and organizations within ADHO. “DiRT and DHCommons are both widely-used resources, but not all users of one are familiar with the other,” he said. “Providing contextually relevant information drawn from other ADHO projects is an effective way to introduce people to projects they might not explore as part of a list of initiatives.” A new requirement that centerNet members maintain current listings of their projects and locally-developed tools will contribute to the ongoing maintenance of DiRT and DHCommons alike. centerNet will be represented on DiRT’s steering committee, and the DiRT Director will serve as an ex officio member of the centerNet board. DiRT, DHCommons and other centerNet initiatives will participate in semiannual strategic planning meetings to explore additional opportunities for integration and exchange across projects. (Note: This is the first in a series of announcements about new features and developments for the DiRT directory, coming daily over the next two weeks.

From the mid to late 1980s, in the Department of Artificial Intelligence (as it was then called), at Edinburgh University, we worked on a series of Intelligent Knowledge Based Design Support (IKBDS) systems . (This was the day's of the Alvey Programme, when AI was unusable, so the double speak term was Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems.) We built experimental IKBDSs to investigate how we might support designers in intelligent ways. Designing can be understood as a kind of exploration, to discover possible designs, and the arguments for why they are suitable designs; an argument that depends upon starting assumptions, selected and used data, and the inferences that join these together. Designing, and the argument development that is thus a part of designing, is typically a non-monotonic process: later changes can reduce the number of valid inferences; inferred knowledge doesn't just increase. To support this basic characteristic of designing we used (what were called) Truth Maintenance Systems--sometimes called Belief Maintenance Systems--and one in particular, called a Assumption-Based Truth Maintenance System (ABTMS). Essentially this kept a record of what each inferred item depended upon, so that if any of it's assumptions were withdrawn (by being changed or removed), it could go though the current set of inferred items removing all those now unsupported by the current assumption set. We added a "views" system to this, so that we could maintain different sets of current assumptions, ie, design alternatives, or, in your terms, different arguments. In our IKBDSs, inferences were made by different specialist "reasoning engines." These were different for the different kinds of designing we worked on: electro-mechanical design, small molecule drug design, nuclear power plant maintenance design, to illustrate that our ATMS was used in a range of quite different design domains. Today, our IKBDSs, with their explicit knowledge representation schemes, multiple inference engines, ABTMS, and Blackboard System architectures, are considered Old AI. No Deep Learning here. Still, though the ABTMSs were often underpowered by the Sun Workstations we used back then, I think this technique might still be made to do useful work for the kinds of thing you describe for your argument and belief system. If you'd like to know more I could send some (old) papers about what we did.

The workshop is free to attend, and all are extremely welcome. National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth, and Roderic Bowen Library, University of Wales Trinity St David, Lampeter, Wales, March 30th-April 1st, 2015 There has been a long tradition of the use of scientific aids in the investigation of manuscripts, dating back to the nineteenth century. One of the first applications of digital imaging was in the investigation of damaged and concealed portions of manuscripts. New technologies continue to offer enormous opportunities for enhancing our understanding of the date, localisation, contents and genesis of manuscript sources which are fundamental for many humanities disciplines. New approaches including RTI imaging which by replicating angled lighting allows the scholar to see details such as scratched glosses or flaking of pigment which cannot be seen with conventional digital imaging. Some research teams have even explored the use of synchrotron light sources in investigating manuscripts. Researchers now have a multiplicity of tools with which to explore problems in manuscripts, and further exciting new technologies are likely to become available in the near future. These methods create enormous opportunities for scholars, but also tremendous challenges. Existing work of this sort is currently very fragmented and knowledge of the possibilities scattered. There needs to be more contact between researchers in this area. Among the issues to be considered in this workshop will be how these sort of images can be made available for analysis by a wider range of researchers. These developments are also creating issues for cultural heritage organisations, who must make available new types of digital images. While many of the techniques derive from work in conservation science, repeated re-examination of ancient manuscripts using different techniques can raise preservation issues.This means moving far beyond the current provision of manuscripts that have been through ‘mass digitisation’, and moving to a more bespoke, ‘slow digitisation’ provision of images that are outputs of new types of capture.

However there is now an ever more urgent need to specifically support the distinct multiple forms of music, the links between them, and the surrounding scholarly context, as required by the transformed and extended methods being applied to musicology and the wider Digital Humanities. The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) workshop presents a venue specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library systems and content in the domain of music and musicology. This includes Music Digital Library systems, their application and use in musicology, technologies for enhanced access and organisation of musics in Digital Libraries, bibliographic and metadata for music, intersections with music Linked Data, and the challenges of working with the multiple representations of music across large-scale digital collections such as the Internet Archive and HathiTrust. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: 22nd April 2015 (23:59 UTC-11) Notification of acceptance: 22nd May 2015 Registration deadline for one author per paper: To be confirmed Camera ready submission deadline: 1st June 2015 (14:00 UTC) WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES DLfM will focus on the implications of music on Digital Libraries and Digital Libraries research when pushing the boundaries of contemporary musicology, including the application of techniques as reported in more technologically oriented fora such as ISMIR and ICMC. This will be the second edition of DLfM following a very successful and well received workshop at Digital Libraries 2014, giving an opportunity for the community to present and discuss developments in the last year that tackle the agenda that emerged in London. In particular we encourage participants to consider the theme of the main conference - "Large, Dynamic and Ubiquitous" - and how this properties are reflected in Music Digital Libraries and their application to musicology. The workshop objectives are: - to act as a forum for reporting, presenting, and evaluating this work and disseminating new approaches to advance the discipline; - to create a venue for critically and constructively evaluating and verifying the operation of Music Digital Libraries and the applications and findings that flow from them; - to consider the suitability of existing Music Digital Libraries, particularly in light of the transformative methods and applications emerging from musicology and "Large, Dynamic, and Ubiquitous" collections of both audio and music related data; - to set the agenda for work in the field to address these new challenges and opportunities. TOPICS Topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to: - Music Digital Libraries. - Digital Libraries in consideration of "Large, Dynamic and Ubiquitous" collections of audio and music related data. - Techniques for locating and accessing music in Very Large Digital Libraries (e.g. HathiTrust, Internet Archive). - Music data representations, including manuscripts/scores and audio - Interfaces and access mechanisms for Music Digital Libraries. - Digital Libraries in support of musicology and other scholarly study; novel requirements and methodologies therein. - Digital Libraries for combination of resources in support of musicology (e.g. combining audio, scores, bibliographic, geographic, ethnomusicology, performance, etc.) - User information needs and behaviour for Music Digital Libraries. Identification/location of music (in all forms) in generic Digital Libraries. - Mechanisms for combining multi-form music content within and between Digital Libraries and other digital resources. - Information literacies for Music Digital Libraries. - Metadata and metadata schemas for music. - Application of Linked Data and Semantic Web techniques to Music Digital Libraries, and for their access and organisation. - Optical Music Recognition. - Ontologies and categorisation of musics and music artefacts. SUBMISSIONS We invite full papers (up to 8 pages) or short and position papers (up to 4 pages). Papers will be peer reviewed by 2-3 members of the programme committee.

In the last ten years however, science and business, which shared this culture of exclusivity with the humanities, has found these boundaries challenged through crowdsourcing, and have flourished as a result. This collaborative and interdisciplinary symposium, organised jointly by King's College London’s Department of Digital Humanities (DDH) and Stanford University’s Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA), seeks to explore the ways in which humanities and cultural heritage research is enriched through scholarly crowdsourcing. It brings together the unique perspectives on the subject that DDH and CESTA have developed over the past three years, including DDH’s Crowd-Sourcing Scoping Study funded by the AHRC, and Stanford’s Humanities Crowdsourcing research theme. These activities represent the cutting edge of humanities crowdsourcing in both its theory and its practice; and the symposium’s main aim is to build a bridge between the two. It will include presentations from this emerging field’s leading scholars and practitioners. The meeting will explore the arc between the inception of humanities crowd-sourcing as a method of data processing adopted largely uncritically from big science, to its present instance as as means of interrogating fuzzy and disparate humanities research data in new ways using ‘non-professional’ engagement and input, and to future possibilities involving completely new ways of co-producing humanities research across increasingly blurred institutional and professional boundaries. Event URL, including registration link and directions: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/ddh/eventrecords/2015/crowdsourcing.aspx The full programme will appear on the website soon. Registration is £20, including lunch on both days and refreshments.

Save the date! In-Reply-To: <54FCD494.3060707@gcdh.de> To all digital humanists or people working on digital humanities projects, Please, save the date and join us for the annual Day of Digital Humanities that will take place on May 19th, 2015.  A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities (Day of DH) is a project looking at a day in the work life of people involved in digital humanities computing. Every year it draws people from across the world together to document, with text and image, the events and activities of their day. The goal of the project is to weave together the journals of participants into a resource that seeks to answer, “Just what do digital humanists really do?" This year, the event will be hosted on behalf of centerNet at the Laboratorio de Innovación en Humanidades Digitales de la UNED (LINHD) in Madrid. For this reason, we want to innovate and make the day more collaborative. We will boost multilingual participation and group cooperative activities. We are working on the website now, which will be announced soon. If you have any suggestions or ideas in the meantime, please, let us know! Yours, Elena González-Blanco Gimena del Rio And all the LINHD team http://linhd.uned.es Twitter: @dayofdh and #dayofDH   A todos los humanistas digitales y personas que trabajan enproyectos de humanidades digitales: Reservad la fecha y uníos a nosotros en la celebración anualdel Día de las Humanidades Digitales, que tendrá lugar el 19 de mayo de 2015.

Some think this cannot be a coincidence, though it seems clear to me that fledgling digital humanities could not have been simply the cause. My question is this: has anyone written from an historical perspective about why "just plain theory" (Culler's phrase) became so attractive when it did? Many thanks for any pointers.

As capitalists sought to overcome the barriers to this transformatory process, they worked to revolutionise both the means of production via organisational and technological change, and circulation time via transportation and communication changes. Reducing friction in the production and circulation of capital is critical to the extraction of surplus value, and Marx argued that in this transformation “Capital by its nature drives beyond every spatial barrier [and]… the annihilation of space by time - becomes an extraordinary necessity for it.” Higher education is increasingly a space which is being recalibrated so as to increase the mobility or fluidity of intellectual production and circulation. Thus, technology, technical services and techniques are deployed to collapse the interfaces between space and time, and to subsume academic labour inside processes for valorisation. However, this collapse also reveals the stresses and strains of antagonisms, as the friction of neoliberal higher education reform deforms existing cultures and histories. Through such a deformation, it also reminds us of alternative historical and material re-imaginings and alternatives like the Chilean CyberSyn project, the Ecuadorian National Plan for Good Living, the Hornsey Experiment, and so on. This presentation argues that inside the University, the deployment of technologies, technical services and techniques enables education and academic labour to be co-opted for value-production. As a result, academics and students are defined as entrepreneurial subjects with limited power-to produce a world beyond value. A question is the extent to which pedagogical and transitional alternatives might be described, and whether in the process it is possible to uncover ways in which education might be used for co-operation rather than competition, as a form of resistance.

But are they really? In spite of recent curatorial attempts to exhibit ‘visible storage’, prevailing debates in the history of museums and collecting are mainly centred around questions of exhibiting, display and spectatorship. This kind of discourse, however, distorts the museum in many ways: it ignores the fact that museums do not just consist of exhibition halls but of vast hidden spaces; it leaves millions of objects out of our museum histories; and lastly, it presents the museum as an organized and stable space, in which only museological ‘results’ are visible not the intermediate stage of their coming into being. Display seems to be about the structured, purposeful, strategic gathering of things according to a system, the features of which are clearly defined. What remains out of sight is the fact that the majority of museum objects lie in storage. As a result, not only a vast physical but also important epistemological and semantic aspect of museums and their collections are eliminated from our discussions. The binary between ‘display’ and ‘backstage’ of museums has previously evoked the assumption that the exhibition area functions as a kind of theatre with objects ‘perform’ on stage, while in the back they are processed from their existence as a mere ‘thing’ to a proper artefact. But there is much more to say about museum storage. Backstage areas of museums are not simply areas where potential display objects are kept. They perform functions and fulfill intentions that, when studied, reveal deep purposes of the museum that go well beyond a mere history of display. A history of storage is a thus history of things that are not shown, but also not written about. The understanding of museums and the intellectual histories they encode undergoes a radical shift when we consider what a museum shows alongside the (usually much larger) range of things it stores. These issues may and will be discussed very differently in various parts of the world, which is what this volume intends to address. Seeking a variety of historical contributions (e.g. with specific case studies), theoretical and philosophical intervention as well as reflections on practical issues, we wish to explore these ‘tales from the crypt’ along the lines of the following themes: - Storage and canonization - The Politics of Collecting - Power and Censorship - The economic and epistemic value of museum objects - Ethics and moral aspects of preservation - Disposal, sale, and de-accessioning - The (scholarly) uses, necessities and functions of storage - Curated and un-curated storage - Visible storage, off-side storage, deep storage, ‘non-museological’ storage - The politics of displayability - Storage, the archive and data mining - Architecture, real estate and the physical spaces of storage - Issues of access to storage - Economic aspects of storage - Storage and digitisation The volume will partly present the results of a workshop (Victoria & Albert Museum, October 2014), organized under the aegis of the India-Europe Advanced Research Network on Museum History that invited a small group of scholars to respond to museum storage – concept and practice – in India and Europe. It is this cross-cultural approach that we wish to take with the volume. We therefore welcome contributions addressing a broad variety of material and theories across all continents.

Please reach out if any questions! Best, Thomas Thomas G. Padilla Digital Scholarship Librarian Michigan State University Libraries 366 W. Circle Drive, 4W East Lansing, MI 48824 (517) 884-8024 thomaspadilla.org http://www.thomaspadilla.org/ DHCommons Journal CFP for "How did they make that?" section Call for Proposals Deadline for Submissions EXTENDED – March 29, 2015 The DHCommons Journal seeks submissions for a section dedicated to procedural descriptions of how to launch and/or maintain an exemplary aspect of a stable digital project. We encourage you to emphasize in your submission a component of the project that came out particularly well and/or represented a significant challenge (e.g. data visualization, accessibility compliance, data cleaning and preparation). Readers should be able to come away with a sense of how they could begin to tackle a similar challenge. In spirit, these submissions should be inspired by Miriam Posner’s “How did they make that http://miriamposner.com/blog/how-did-they-make-that/ ?”. The goal is to publish 1-3 procedural descriptions in each issue of DHCommons Journal. Submissions should be between 600-1000 words in length. Illustrative images are strongly encouraged. Submissions must correspond to digital projects that are publicly available. All submissions will be peer reviewed. Attempts will be made to select submissions in line with the theme of the overall issue. Authors of accepted submissions will be asked to participate in an interview about their project that will be published alongside their piece. The interview will provide an opportunity to describe the project aspect and the project as a whole in more depth. Submission Guidelines Your submission should address each of the points below: * Timeframe from conception to implementation * Technical skills needed * Competencies needed (e.g. project management, data management, etc.) * Infrastructure needed * Funding needed, if any * Pointers to resources that build required skills and competencies (e.g. relevant blog posts, Programming Historian lessons, etc.) Submission process 1. First, register as an author on the DHCommons journal OpenEdition site. (Note: the default language on OpenEdition is French; you can switch to English if you prefer. 2. Once you create an account, you're automatically logged in. Click on "New submission" to access the submission form. 3. As part of the submission checklist, you'll need to create a profile for your project in the DHCommons project directory (this site). If you don't already have an account on dhcommons.org (separate from the journal account system), you can register here http://dhcommons.org/user/register 4. Once you're signed into DHCommons, you can add your project, or update an existing listing for your project. 5. Continue to follow the steps laid out in the submission form. If you have a question for the editors, please email tpadilla@msu.edu. Review Process Reviewers will evaluate the clarity and completeness with which authors describe their projects. Questions include: 1. Will the procedural description be readily accessible to readers with novice as well as advanced digital project experience? 2. Does the author effectively communicate competencies and skills required to deliver the digital project? 3. Does the author effectively describe the technologies underlying the digital project? Inquiries All inquiries should be directed to Section Editor, Thomas Padilla. Thomas G.

I have. Influenced by Terry Eagleton's historical account of theory I argue that Paris 1968 is the key to the rise of theory in literary scholarship. The argument appears in "Chapter 3. Marx's Influence on Shakespeare Studies since 1968" in my book _Shakespeare and Marx_ (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2004), especially pages 71-77.

In-Reply-To: <20150318062622.C638DC03@digitalhumanities.org> There is a nice volume by Peter Herman entitled 'historicizing theory’  The introduction can be found here https://www.sunypress.edu/pdf/60870.pdf   One primary point that I tend to agree with is that most histories of theory are not very historical and tend to follow the great men with great ideas approach as history.  There are a ton of histories of theory in it many guises. One excellent book on the history of theory is Robert Young’s ‘Postcolonialism’ which I think deftly and correctly ties the history of theory to colonialism.

Workshop: Digital Tools for Researchers in the Humanities Wednesday 25 March, 1.30-4.30pm (Queen’s Building W.206) This 3-hour workshop is dedicated to digital research methods for faculty and graduate students in HSS. It will introduce you to basic software that will allow you to collect, analyse, and visualise your research materials. Led by Julianne Nyhan, the session will comprise a 45 minute introductory lecture on the digital humanities, and a 2-hour practical lab. Please register here. You are requested to bring your own laptops and to install two pieces of software on them in advance: Zotero and Paper Machines. Zotero is a tool that helps you collect, organize, cite, and share your research sources. Paper Machines is an open-source extension for the Zotero bibliographic management software that allows researchers to generate analyses and visualizations of user-provided corpora, without requiring extensive computational resources or technical knowledge. Other resources and methods that will be touched upon are Tapor and TEI by Example. Schedule 1.30-2.15pm Lecture 2.15-2.30 Coffee 2.30-4.30 Lab You can arrive from 1pm for help if you are having problems installing Zotero or Paper Machines.

We hope you will be able to join us, and please share this message with anyone you think may be interested. We will be live-streaming the event on the website blog for those of you who cannot be in London (http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/). *Text Mining the History of Medicine* *Abstract*: I will present the results of a collaborative and interdisciplinary project between the National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM) and the Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM) at the University of Manchester, demonstrating the capabilities of innovative text mining tools to allow the automatic extraction of information from two historical archives: the British Medical Journal (BMJ) (1840 – present) and the London-area Medical Officer of Health (MOH) reports (1848-1972). NaCTeM’s text mining tools have enriched these historical archives with semantic metadata automatically by extracting terms, named entities and events. The development of a semantic search system focused on the understanding of historical changes in lung diseases since 1840. *Speakers: *Sophia Ananiadou (Manchester University) Our full seminar list can be found on the IHR website: http://www.history.ac.uk/events/seminars/321 --- We hope to see you there Adam Crymble Convenor, Digital History Seminar adam.crymble@gmail.com --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2015 15:00:03 +0000 From: "Shrout, Anelise" Subject: CFP: Undergraduate #DH workshop at DH2015 *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1426693621_2015-03-18_anshrout@davidson.edu_23271.1.2.txt Call for Participants: Starting from Scratch?: Strategies for Building Undergraduate-Centered #DH Programs - DH2015 - Sydney, Australia - Workshop dates: June 29-30 Do you work with undergraduates in digital humanities programs? Want to share experiences and discuss best practices with other practitioners? This Digital Humanities 2015 pre-conference, half-day workshop will use case studies of “start-up” undergraduate DH programs as a jumping off point for a broader discussion about whether undergraduate digital programs must indeed start from scratch at each new institution, and whether it is possible to craft a transnational document for DH best practices. We aim to include participants from as wide a range of geographical locations and roles (faculty, students, librarians, archivists, instructional technologists, IT professionals, program directors, etc.) within DH initiatives as possible. The central issues driving this workshop are: • The challenges of establishing DH programs at teaching and undergraduate-centered institutions • The ways in which the pedagogical needs of undergraduate institutions and undergraduate-centered DH programs differ from and dovetail with those of larger research universities • The role of and challenges to undergraduate-focused DH programs around the world • How the discussions about digital humanities taking place on liberal arts campuses relate to broader questions that animate the field of digital pedagogy Workshop Structure At the workshop, participants will present short introductions to their undergraduate DH programs and outline one main takeaway each. Both organizers and participants will work to draw attention to commonalities and differences among presentations, before opening up the floor to design-thinking exercises and formal discussions designed to add material to the whiteboard scaffold. The workshop itself will: • Invite participants to share different approaches to undergraduate-centered DH programs, incorporating global perspectives • Workshop some general solutions to common undergraduate-DH problems, share local challenges, and collaborate on strategies for particular problems • Define common principles and pedagogical reasoning, keeping in mind the variety and experimental nature of different initiatives • Explore the many different forms of undergraduate-focused digital programs • Chart recent developments in digital liberal arts pedagogy In addition to sharing insights from different programs during an in-person session, this workshop also aims to codify some best practices for building and sustaining new digital humanities programs for undergraduates. Drawing on the success of crowd-sourced best practices, we will compile what we’ve learned into a collaborative, public document that speaks to the needs of undergraduates, their teachers and their institutions in the digital age. Outcomes In advance of the workshop, participants will be invited to scaffold a best-practices whitepaper identifying different pedagogies, challenges and questions they want the workshop to address. A version of this document will be circulated in advance of the workshop. After the conference, presenters will work together to transition the document into a more formal whitepaper and to compile an accompanying bibliography, linking the issues raised to the existing literature. This public document will be informative, rather than prescriptive. It is intended to highlight the practitioners' points of view. It will share and solicit contributions from attendees as well as those not present. Overall, the goal of this workshop and whitepaper is to share undergraduate DH practitioners’ experiences, with an eye to how others around the world can learn from or build upon those experiences. Submission Guidelines Please draft a ~500 word narrative of your experience working with undergraduates on digital humanities programs/ projects/ initiatives. Your narrative should be submitted to startingfromscratchDH@gmail.com by March 31st. Proposals might share issues encountered while building undergraduate-centered DH programs, identify successful strategies for undergraduate DH education, or highlight possibilities for future DH pedagogical developments. We will notify applicants by the week of April 6th.

However, has anyone been able to retrieve from Stanford a 1995 courses reference/bulletin that contains those actual pages? The ones that are electronically available through Stanford's site don't have anything similar, and the lay out of the page strongly suggests this is actually a scan from a later (post 2000) bulletin. I think this one needs confirmation beyond Google's pretty blue eyes.

Much of the data is in the public domain and available for re-use. Some work has been done on named entity recognition for the corpus. Within Work Package 3 of Europeana Cloud, developers and human-computer interaction experts now wish to work with digital humanities or social sciences researchers to build services and tools that exploit this data and help answer research questions that cannot practically be researched without the technology. For example: - What is the typical sentiment in the reporting of different papers on specific historical events? - To which locations are historical protagonists tied in the reporting and how does this evolve over time? Within the Europeana Cloud project, similar such tools have been built before for early modern philosophers and musicologists.

I would be enormously grateful and in your debt if you could spare 2 minutes to complete the survey. The survey is anonymous but as an added incentive, all respondents who choose to submit their email addresses, will be entered into a draw for a €40 Amazon gift card. The survey will close at the end of March 2015 and once compiled, I will make the results available as raw and summarised data.

Geohegan tells a story I, for one, had never seen before about how a concerted American push to spread cybernetic/information theory as a kind of new global explanatory model (with government money; there was an anti-Soviet agenda) among influential European thinkers got the attention of a whole raft of important people inclucing Jakobson, Levi-Strauss, and Lacan. They and then a wider circle--he names Barthes, Derrida, Deleuze and Guattari, even Foucault--ultimately weren't persuaded by the cybernetics, but were definitely turned on to the idea of this kind of ambitious global modeling. I would love to know if people more knowledgeable than I find his account persuasive.

The workshop takes place on *May 14, 2015* and is organised and endorsed by NeDiMAH, DARIAH-RS, Erasmus +, and the DiXiT Network. Over the past decades, those active in developing a range of digital scholarly editing practices have built up a large body of knowledge about digital tools and methods that enable the development, presentation, and analysis of digital texts. This has resulted in a wide variety of methods for teaching and training of text editing. However, those who have to adapt quickly to working in a digital scholarly editing environment are often not aware of these different training methods. As a consequence, they might be overlooking available resources, or even re-inventing the wheel. The event will bring together teachers of digital editing with a group of people who have faced the need to learn more about this area, especially those working in commercial publishing as well as research projects. A number of key practitioners will be invited to discuss the core resources available for text editing, and how expertise can be shared more widely. Specifically, we are looking to see how the experience of those in academia who teach and research text editing can contribute to the development of a core set of training materials for those new to the field, and how we can have better knowledge transfer around digital text editing. The underlying aim of the workshop is therefore to scope what is already available in terms of training materials, and to develop a methodology to assess different kinds of teaching material. This critical overview will assist the community in the further development of teaching material for text editing. As an output of the workshop, a basic and open curriculum will be developed and published as an online resource by NeDIMAH. The workshop will be in English and is open to anyone interested in the field of text editing; *some previous experience with text editing and/or teaching is required*. Please register on the EventBrite page . A limited number of travel bursaries are available to postgraduates and early career researchers in countries that are part of the NeDiMAH network. If you wish to apply for a bursary, please contact the organisers through the online form before *April 15*.

Registration is now open for non-presenters for the conference Web Archives as Scholarly Sources: Issues, Practices and Perspectives taking place 8-10 June 2015 at Aarhus University in Denmark. Information at http://resaw.eu/events/international-conference-aarhus-june-2015/ or below. The conference is organised by RESAW, Aarhus University, the State and University Library (Denmark), the Royal Library (Denmark), l’Institut des sciences de la communication du CNRS, Université de Lille 3, the Institute of Historical Research (University of London), the University of Amsterdam, the British Library, and Leibniz University Hannover/ALEXANDRIA. In March 2014, the web celebrated its twenty-fifth birthday. This vast information resource is of enormous importance to scholars, both as a primary source and as a means of networking and communication. It is, however, strikingly ephemeral, and much important data has already been lost. The archiving of this vast range of material, so that it is accessible to both contemporary and future researchers, increasingly occupies national memory institutions, and researchers are also beginning to realise and explore its value. This conference seeks to explore the potential of web archives for scholarly use, to highlight innovative research, to investigate the challenges and opportunities of working with the archived web, to identify opportunities for incorporating web archives in learning and teaching, and to discuss and inform archival provision. This multi-disciplinary conference is aimed at scholars, web archiving institutions, web archivists, curators, IT-developers, companies and public institutions interested in web archiving and research using web archives. The conference programme will be released 4 May 2015. Submission of papers is closed but registration for non-presenters is now open and takes place at: https://auws.au.dk/resaw2015nonpresenters. Participation as well as coffee and lunch are free of charge. Participants must pay for dinner, travel and accomodation themselves. Please note that there are a limited number of seats for non-presenters. First-come, first-served. If there are no more seats available through the webshop, please contact Niels Brügger or Janne Nielsen who will check whether additional seats can be arranged. Registration for non-presenters will close 18 May. On Tuesday 9 June in the afternoon, it will be possible to participate in the workshop "Elements, Graphs, and Entities: Analyzing Web Archive Datasets" presented by Vinay Goel and Jefferson Bailey from the Internet Archive. Participation is free but there are some specific requirements (see below) and the number of participants is limited to 25. You can sign up for the workshop when registering. Please note that some parallel sessions will run concurrently with the workshop. The organisers will make sure that attendees who sign up for the workshop will not present in any of the parallel sessions on Tuesday afternoon. About the workshop: This workshop will explore new methods of research use of web archives by giving researchers exposure to, and training in, the tools, methods, and types of analysis possible in working with datasets extracted from entire web archive collections. Giving researchers datasets of specific extracted metadata elements, longitudinal link graph data, extracted named entities, and other post-processed data can help facilitate new research methods and new types of visualization, inquiry, and analysis. Requirements: Participants will need to have a laptop and have access to a Unix/Linux environment, either via a Mac (or Linux OS) or, for Windows users, via a related OS, such as Ubuntu, running in VirtualBox (or similar). Participants should have very basic comfort interacting with the command line (Terminal). Prior to the workshop, attendees will be given links for downloading the necessary scripts, code templates, and data. Participants will need to have the ability to install software on their laptops and will be provide basic instruction for installing the tools necessary for visualizing the data we will be working with in the workshop. Attendees need not have great technical proficiency, but should be comfortable playing around with data and have an open-minded spirit towards working with and visualizing datasets. Any questions about the workshop can be directed to jefferson@archive.org and vinay@archive.org. If you have any questions regarding the conference, please contact Niels Brügger (nb@dac.au.dk) or Janne Nielsen (imvjani@dac.au.dk), Aarhus University. -------- Janne Nielsen, Research assistant, PhD Department of Aesthetics and Communication, Aarhus University Helsingforsgade 14, building 5347, room 242 8200 Aarhus N Denmark phone: +45 87162005 mail: imvjani@dac.au.dk _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 60D33C52; Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:18:21 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B7022C4E; Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:18:20 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CBECAC50; Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:18:17 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150320061817.CBECAC50@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2015 07:18:17 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.839 pubs: Digital Scholarship in the Humanities 30.1 X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150320061821.11488.71026@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 839.

I am in the process of finalising a paper which includes some discussion on the emergent meanings of computational vs. digital associated with palaeography. Peter Stokes did this in more rigorous terms, while I really just try to give some context to an internal - not so troubling yet revealing of a time of change in understanding and use of terms - conflict. My then MA supervisor at King’s College London (2003), John Lavagnino, suggested I used 'digital palaeography' and I believe its first occurrence with the sense we understand it today was in my 2004 DRH poster. But while at King's I was also in the process of completing my PhD in Italy, where pressure was for sticking to the term ‘computazionale’ (computational) to describe my approach. This might certainly be an idiosyncratic case rather than the wide manifestation of a cultural difference; all the same it shows that this was a time where such terms were negotiated and if not publicly debated, certainly source of methodological questioning at some level.

I hope they are helpful. CRMInf is a specialisation of the core CIDOC CRM ontology. The CRM provides a set of entities and relationships with precise real world scientific definitions that provide generalisations designed to harmonise structured data. It does not mandate fields and values and supports any structured information retaining its original meaning and perspectives. It is event based. The Core CRM ontology provides the foundational classes and properties and is extremely robust to ensure that the ontology cannot be broken, to integrate different levels of knowledge, and support a wide range of potential specialisations derived from core classes. Extensions as opposed to specializations are increasingly rare. CRMInf is a specialisation of the CRM derived from the abstraction of different argumentation theories. See http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1921615. It is also worth saying up front that CRMInf is closely aligned with CRMSci which is a scientific observation extension of the CRM. The argumentation system currently works on the basis of three types of argument. 1.    Observation, 2.    Inference and 3.    Belief adoption. The full reference and scope notes of all the labels can be found in the CRMInf draft athttp://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/index_main.php?l=e&c=713 These arguments operate on beliefs which have proposition sets. For example, in my domain an artefact has things written about it by the museum that physically owns it. These things are, in fact, part of an argument based on observation, since the museum owns and has access to an object in order to create documentation. However, anyone physically observing an object themselves can equally make an observation (an argument) about it. All beliefs can be attributed and other information is added that would allow a logical assessment of the argument. Museum documentation may take the form of a database record and this record is a proposition. Within that proposition there may be things that people agree or disagree with, in which case they can adopt (belief adoption) parts of the proposition and challenge others (using any of the argument types). They may use the beliefs, along with beliefs collected from other sources in the community (and this is crucial), perhaps a citation or a different type of data resource, to construct an opposing argument. It is possible of course that the museum may, in time, adopt the arguments of researchers who have challenged it – in which case they would adopt the whole provenance of the arguments behind that belief. Another example, might be an interpretation. For example, an interpretation of a painting, perhaps from an owning institution, may form a belief or set of beliefs that can be challenged by someone else. These new beliefs could be used as premises and may include historical information that provides context for the argument, e.g. facts about the people and things depicted or more general historical facts from the period or place. This is information that can be adopted from many different sources to develop a conclusion that is also in the form of a belief – a new belief. Equally others may use one or more of these beliefs (adoption), as well as their own, and formulate their own arguments, all of which are connected and eventually lead back to the original premise or belief again forming a provenance of different assertions. Other examples recently used come from archaeology, for example using logic about the way different context (stratigraphic) can support an hypothesis about a find. No honest argument or belief is out of scope and many different types of inference logic can be used (philosophical, mathematical or other kinds of evidence), although some logic might be more weighty than others. This means that arguments are not lost and gaps do not develop over time that might lead to wrong conclusions. It also means that these arguments can be reasoned over using computers. Anyway, taking the very simple initial example using the CRM ontology. A database record is a type of Information object (an E31 Document in CRM terms) – a document is a special type of information object and can be harmonised with other documents or indeed other information objects. For example, an information object is a special type of symbolic or propositional object which in turn are conceptual objects. I add this as an aside because CIDOC CRM is a poly-hierarchical system of meaning allowing different levels of knowledge to be integrated because, of course, people have different levels of knowledge which could not be integrated otherwise!   In CRMInf this particular type of information object is called a proposition set (I4 Proposition Set). It is therefore both a document and a proposition set. A proposition is also a type of information object and, “comprises identifiable symbols and any aggregation of symbols”.   In other words it can be text, images, musical scores, emblems, signs, and so on. This is important because it means that different types of information, heterogeneous data, can be connected without conversion to a single knowledge representation system. However, the CRM itself is about information/knowledge harmonisation and CRMInf becomes extremely powerful when the information that it operates on is encoded in the same knowledge representation system - but CRMInf is not limited by doing this first. This proposition forms the basis of a belief. A belief consists of a proposition and a belief value. The value is whatever is appropriate. In this case let’s say, True, False, Unknown. The museums belief was created as a result of an observation. If someone was working with an image of an object then the proposition that they start with is different and based on the production of that image which was part of a previous observation.  This is an important distinction and may affect the way that an argument is perceived and weighted – particularly internet research in which people sometimes talk about an object as if they have physically examined it.     An inference making argument is different in that it can use beliefs that may have resulted from observations or adoptions. Inference making usually uses as a premise an existing belief and can, with other premises conclude a new belief. Belief adoption takes an existing belief and makes it yours. The adoption concludes in your own belief.   In CIDOC CRM terms…. S4 Observation -> J2 concluded that -> I2 Belief -> J4 that -> I4 Proposition set AND J5 holds to be -> I6 Belief Value. (will stop at belief after this) e.g. An Observation activity/event  (argument) concluded a belief that is made up of a proposition and a value. I5 Inference Making ->   J1 used as a premise -> I2 Belief e.g. An Inference making activity/event (argument) used a belief as a premise. I7 Belief Adoption -> J6 Adopted -> I2 Belief e.g. A belief adoption activity/event resulted in the adoption of an existing belief I7 Belief Adoption -> J2 concluded that -> I2 Belief e.g., The belief adoption activity/event therefore concluded in a belief I5 Inference making -> J3 applies -> I3 Inference logic e.g. The inference making activity/event applied a logic I5 Inference making -> J2 concluded that -> I2 Belief e.g. The inference making activity/event concluded in a new belief In other words. I can take a belief and use it as a premise. I can also use my own beliefs derived from my own observations and adopt other beliefs from different sources of information and make these my beliefs. I can then through the activity of inference making apply a logic from which I conclude, most likely, a set of beliefs that negate some of the original premises (beliefs) and propose new beliefs. Anyway, we are currently in the middle of incorporating this into a software application. I will put the designs up on the Web soon.

In that case any such "argument and belief system" could not tell us much about the contents other than in very broad brush-strokes. In that case a concept mining tool might shed more light on the contents and/or their related annotations.

As part of the first development stage of our major digital project The Lost Palace, we are offering five applicants funds of £10,000 to develop single working prototypes that we can test on real audiences, which respond to the following challenge. Whitehall Palace was the site of some of the most iconic and dramatic events in British history, until it burnt down 300 years ago. The challenge is to create evocative, digitally-enabled experiences of its extraordinary stories as 'history where it happened' on Whitehall's modern streets. We want people to sense these lost spaces and encounter the characters that once inhabited them: to immerse themselves in the stories of these Tudor and Stuart worlds. We want to turn today's 'Corridors of Power' into playful spaces where history is performed and participated in. The deadline for submissions is the 13 April 2015. Those interested in applying are also invited to open afternoons at Banqueting House on the 24th and 31st March 2015. Full details about the competition can be found at www.thelostpalace.com http://www.thelostpalace.com - where you can also register for open days and submit proposals. Fingers crossed that this is of interest.

The series aims at creating an interdisciplinary focus on computing, stimulating a dialogue between the historical and philosophical viewpoints. To this end, the conference hopes to bring together researchers interested in the historical developments of computing, as well as those reflecting on the sociological and philosophical issues springing from the rise and ubiquity of computing machines in the contemporary landscape. In the past editions, the conference has successfully presented a variety of voices, contributing to the creation of a fruitful dialogue between researchers with different backgrounds and sensibilities. For HaPoC 2015 we welcome contributions from historians and philosophers of computing as well as from philosophically aware computer scientists and mathematicians. Topics include but are not limited to • History and Philosophy of Computation (interpretation of the Church-Turing thesis; models of computation; logical/mathematical foundations of computer science; information theory...) • History and Philosophy of Programming (classes of programming languages; philosophical status of programming...) • History and Philosophy of the Computer (from calculating machines to the future of the computer; user interfaces; abstract architectures...) • History and Epistemology of the use of Computing in the sciences (simulation vs. modelisation; computer-assisted proofs; linguistics...) • Computing and the Arts: historical and conceptual issues (temporality in digital art; narration in interactive art work...) • Social, ethical and pedagogical aspects of Computing (pedagogy of computer science; algorithms and copyright; Internet, culture, society...) Our invited speakers are Nicola Angius (Università di Sassari, IT), Lenore Blum (Carnagie Mellon University, USA), David Allan Grier (IEEE & George Washington University, USA), Furio Honsell (Università di Udine, IT), Pierre Mounier-Kuhn (CNRS & Université Paris-Sorbonne, F), and Franck Varenne (Université de Rouen, F). We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the topics of the conference to submit a short abstract of approximately 200 words and an extended abstract of at most a 1000 words (references included) to www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapoc2015 Abstracts must be written in English and anonymised. Please note that the format of uploaded files must be either .pdf or .doc. In order to access the submission page, an EasyChair account will be required. Please notice that what is called “abstract” in the EasyChair “Title, Abstract and Other Information” section corresponds to the short abstract of this call, and what is called “paper” in the EasyChair “Upload Paper” section corresponds to the extended abstract of this call. Please check out the website of HaPoC 2015 for more information on the conference at http://hapoc2015.sciencesconf.org A post-proceedings volume is going to appear in the IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology series, published by Springer. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: June 19, 2015 Notification of acceptance: July 19, 2015 The 2015 conference is located in Pisa, the cradle of Italian computer science: here the first Italian computers were designed in the mid-Fifties and the first Master course in informatics was established in 1969. The Museum of Computing Machinery, part of the University of Pisa, shows some artefacts from the early days of Italian CS, as well a selection of personal computing machines. Besides its artistic attractions, among them the world-famous leaning tower, during the days of the conference Pisa will host the Internet Festival, devoted to all the aspects of the net (www.internetfestival.it) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E9618CAC; Wed, 25 Mar 2015 07:36:02 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 41404CA4; Wed, 25 Mar 2015 07:36:02 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 983BDCA6; Wed, 25 Mar 2015 07:36:00 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150325063600.983BDCA6@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 07:36:00 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.849 events: summer school; linked pasts; heritage markup; text, speech, dialogue X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150325063602.26924.19234@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 849.

Markup is used behind the scenes in archives, libraries, and museums to create and store metadata and the textual content of a wide variety of materials both textual and artefactual. We want to know how you or your project are using markup to preserve, analyze, disseminate, or curate materials of long-term value to society. Balisage is an excellent venue to discuss both theoretical and practical questions. Is cultural heritage markup essentially different from industrial markup? Is it inherently more heterogeneous, more complex? Are “industrial” tools like XML and HTML really appropriate for cultural heritage materials? How well will standards like TEI and EAD serve us as technology progresses? We dedicate this day to discussion of the challenges and possibilities of markup technologies used in the preservation of our cultural heritage and its transmission to future generations. We welcome proposals to present at the Symposium. Topics may include, but are not limited to: • Representing heterogeneous materials • Data modeling to support scholarly research • Building for the long term, even after the money has run out • Using/repurposing tools that weren’t designed for the kind of thing you’re doing • What are the benefits and challenges of using XML for representing texts of scholarly interest? What about non-textual artifacts? • What does it mean for cultural heritage texts to be interoperable? • Shared tag sets. Are shared markup vocabularies (e.g., TEI, EAD, LIDO, CDWA) sufficient? How can we improve them? Full papers should be submitted by 17 April 2015. All papers are peer-reviewed — we pride ourselves that you will seldom get a more thorough, skeptical, or helpful review than the one provided by Balisage reviewers. Key dates: - 27 March 2015 — Peer review applications due - 17 April 2015 — Paper submissions due - 17 April 2015 — Applications for student support awards due - 22 May 2015 — Speakers notified - 17 July 2015 — Final papers due - 10 August 2015 — Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup - 11–14 August 2015 — Balisage: The Markup Conference For more information: info@balisage.net or +1 301 315 9631 Balisage: The Markup Conference There is Nothing As Practical As A Good Theory ====================================================================== Balisage: The Markup Conference 2014 mailto:info@balisage.net August 5-8, 2014 http://www.balisage.net Preconference Symposium: August 4, 2014 +1 301 315 9631 _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D94BFCA4; Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:52:00 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 419FEC97; Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:52:00 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6C5A0C97; Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:51:58 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150325105158.6C5A0C97@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 11:51:58 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 28.850 precise terminology?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 09:24:10 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: precise terminology In his "Epilegomena to Mimesis", added as an appendix six years after the book was first published, Erich Auerbach considered the problem of inexact terminology in comparative literary studies. What he wrote applies convincingly, I think, to the discourse of digital humanities from the perspective of that Janus face of ours which looks into the humanities and speaks to those disciplines: > It is in the nature of our subject that our general concepts are > poorly differentiable and are undefinable. Their worth... consists in > that they elicit in readers or hearers a series of ideas that > facilitate for them an understanding of what is meant in the > particular context. They are not exact. The attempts to define them, > or even only to collect completely and without contradiction those > characteristics that compose them, can never lead to the desired > result - even though they are often interesting, for the reason that > someone produces in the discussion a new point of view and thereby > assists in the enrichment of our ideas. One must beware, it seems to > me, of regarding the exact sciences as our model; our precision > relates to the particularÂ…. A person with a classificatory taxonomy > that works with exact and set conceptions of order cannot succeed in > drawing together the aspects that intersect multiply into a synthesis > that does justice to the subjects. (Mimesis, 50th Anniversary edn, > pp. 572-3) Much has happened in and to the sciences since Auerbach wrote. It seems to me there are strong reasons for regarding them as far closer to our concerns now than seemed in 1952. Many here, I hope, will be interested in Jerome McGann's essay, "Truth and Method. Humanities Scholarship as a Science of Exceptions", forthcoming in Interdisciplinary Science Reviews 40.2 (June 2015), in which he discusses the precision of the particular.

In-Reply-To: <20150325105158.6C5A0C97@digitalhumanities.org> It is worth mentioning that Auerbach's Mimesis is taking into account the so-called technical imagination in its very core, since it connects the "modern realism" of Stendhal etc. with globalisation which is a consequence of technological means of transportation and communication: »[...] the progress then achieved in transportation and communication, together with the spread of elementary education [...], made it possible to mobilize the people far more rapidly and in a far more unified direction; everyone was reached by the same ideas and events far more quickly, more consciously, and more uniformly. For Europe there began that process of temporal concentration, both of historical events themselves and of everyone's knowledge of them, which has since made tremendous progress and which not only permits us to prophecy a unification of human life throughout the world but has in a certain sense already achieved it.« (Auerbach 459) The digital humanities could be considered a response to such an overwhelming flow of information.

In-Reply-To: <20150325105158.6C5A0C97@digitalhumanities.org> While I look forward to reading the forthcoming article on the precision of the particular by McGann, this recalled for me some analogies to the debate around close-up and sky-views within historical methods and in particular around what it means to do microhistory. Rather enlightening is the article by Ginzburg: Carlo Ginzburg. Microhistory: Two or Three Things That I Know about It. (translated by John Tedeschi and Anne C. Tedeschi) Critical Inquiry, Vol. 20, No. 1 (Autumn, 1993), pp. 10-35. He contextualised his analysis of the term and concept (when called with other names) within sometimes evidently related, sometimes much less so historical approaches. He mentions that the focus on microhisory (particulars) emerged for different historians as an expressed 'dissatisfaction with the macroscopic and quantitative model that dominated the international historiographical scene between the mid-1950s and mid-1970s'. A snippet on p.26: "A battle, strictly speaking, is invisible, as we have been reminded (and not only thanks to military censorship) by the images televised during the Gulf War. Only an abstract diagram or a visionary imagination such as Altdorfer's can convey a global image of it. It seems proper to extend this conclusion to any event and with greater reason to whatever historical process. A close-up look permits us to grasp what eludes a comprehensive viewing, and vice versa." He also stresses the intimate connection between microhistory and historians' narration (apparently for Kracauer microhistory was a synonymous of monographic research...). What Ginzburg was influenced most by was microhistory as practiced by Italian historiography (from the 70s onwards) and focused on the 'anomalous': "An object, as we saw, may be chosen because it is typical (González) or because it is repetitive and therefore capable of being serialized (Braudel, apropos the *fait divers*). Italian microhistory has confronted the question of comparison with a different and, in a certain sense, opposite approach: through the anomalous, not the analogous. First of all, it hypothesizes the more improbable sort of documentation as being potentially richer: the "exceptional 'normal' " of Edoardo Grendi's justly famous quip. Second, it demonstrates, as accomplished for example by Giovanni Levi (*L'eredità immateriale*) and by Simona Cerutti (*La Ville et les métiers*), that any social structure is the result of interaction and of numerous individual strategies, a fabric that can only be reconstituted from close observation. It is significant that the relationship between this microscopic dimension and the larger contextual dimension became in both cases (though so diverse) the organizing principle in the narration. As Kracauer had already foreseen, the results obtained in a microscopic sphere cannot be automatically transferred to a macroscopic sphere (and vice versa). This heterogeneity, the implications of which we are just beginning to perceive, constitutes both the greatest difficulty and the greatest potential benefit of microhistory."

This is a common misunderstanding and a very common belief adoption. If we were using a digital argument and belief system we could trace a vast and connected set of similar belief adoptions back to an original observation and determine the weight of the proposition within. This is the point. Many arguments go on for long periods of time and are forgotten resulting in duplicated work and mistakes. I am aware of threads of academic work that have been built up over long periods of time that are then exposed as incorrect because of gaps in the academic discourse. I make similar mistakes myself perhaps simply because I haven't read a particular journal article.    The email is therefore a useful example and I could say this (and encode it): Desmond has an argument about the nature of the CIDOC CRM and its purpose with a belief proposition derived from, “CIDOC CRM and any inference system based on it would be a way of thinking/reasoning about metadata of whole museum objects”. This belief could have been arrived at by reading and interpreting the CIDOC CRM reference (an observation) or adopting the belief of someone else. It could also be an assertion that is unqualified. In the former (observation) he may make an inference from his proposition and conclude that the CRM cannot represent the meaning of literary text or indeed text. i.e. "CIDOC CRM deals with objects and I infer through simple deductive logic (in conclusion) a belief that is doesn't deal with more conceptual things. In the latter (adoption) he may also conclude the same belief but the inference logic may be that he trusts the opinion of the person(s) from which he adopted the belief, as an expert in this particular area. Note: We can of course date Desmond's belief and record attribution so that the belief is recorded for all time since forming a belief is a form of activity to which we can sensibly attach temporal qualities and participating actors. My own belief is that Desmond's initial proposition is in fact false (the same proposition but with a different belief value). I can add my own propositions, for example, I can say that I believe the scope note of the entity E73 Information Object is True, and do this with many other non-physical entities within the CRM that, within a certain scope, address text, including poems, sonnets and so on.I can therefore conclude a new belief that the CRM deals with more than physical museum objects. In actual fact it deals with vastly more that this. However, this is an aside because the original note wasn’t about CIDOC CRM which is a bit of a diversion. It was about a different ontology CRMInf. (However, the fact that CRMInf is a specialisation of CIDOC CRM dealing with propositional and information entities I could have used this as another proposition to support my the previous argument and negation of Desmond's belief). The CRMInf ontology deals with the specific problem of how to create a digital provenance of facts (facts used in the wider sense of the word) derived from the work of academics – and doesn’t really mention physical objects. Surely I can make an argument about anything, including chains of symbols, that I can clearly identify! The question is how best is this knowledge represented from a computational point of view. It is true that Martin has selected a use case that may not have been in the forefront of the mind of the creators (the main authors being an archaeologist and a nuclear physicist by background). However, this matters not as it was not designed for a particular narrow thing. If you agree in principle that argumentation theory can be used to talk about text, then any feedback about the relative pros and cons and other approaches which have different agendas to the CIDOC CRM, are all very welcome. We can contribute to a further development of this.  It is true that the CRM has a particular agenda regarding the harmonization of information (through generalisations) that may effect the extent to which it deals with this aspect, but this is a feature not a fault. In the museum world curators, who are also researchers and academics, albeit in the realm of the real world, have been quite successful at interpretation. The CIDOC CRM is designed primarily to deal with reality and therefore, within CRMInf, a proposition (a line of literary text) should not be taken as a proposition regarding reality. However, if this is clear, I don’t see why CRMInf cannot be applied (in so far as it goes) to a sonnet. But let's see. A sonnet represents an interesting use case (partly because it is already highly structured - right -  :-)  ). My question to Martin is, given the example above: What argument do you want to make about sonnet 116? I note that there are many beliefs and arguments documented in narrative, but as this is your domain and expertise it should be your belief and argument which can be your own observation or adopting a belief from someone else. So... Do you want to make a new observation about the whole sonnet or individual lines, etc? Do you want to adopt the beliefs of others? CRMInf would consider a citation as an adoption of someone else’s belief. Do you want, from an original premise (the sonnet) and other observations and belief adoptions, to conclude a particular belief (an interpretation). The only real limitation is that you make “honest propositions” (I quote from the scope note of for I2 Belief) which as a minimum would require either reading sonnet 116. I am happy to give it a go and if it doesnt provide a satisfactory result (one that moves things along a bit) then it would be good to discuss further requirements and develop this further.

I would say this applies to lots of things, but, in AI (artificial intelligence), from plenty of personal experience, looking for and understanding failures of AI systems, and exploring the conditions that provoke them, does too important things. 1 It tells us much much more about how well our system works, why, and under what conditions, and 2 It keeps us more humble about what we claim it can do. I miss this in most AI stuff I see talked about and often raved about these days. I guess I'm old fashioned, but to me, working this way is just a matter of professional honesty.

Feel free to notify us if you decide to submit an abstract. We look forward to meeting you in Brighton, Termeh Shafie and Tom Brughmans --- ABSTRACT Challenges in Archaeological Network Science The application of network analysis in archaeology has only become more common in the last decade, despite a number of pioneering studies in the 1960s and 70s. The use of different techniques for the analysis and visualisation of network data has already led to new insights into past human behaviour. However, this renewed interest in network science is also accompanied by an increasing awareness of a number of methodological challenges that archaeological network scientists are faced with. These include, but are not limited to the following: – How to deal with spurious data? Sampling strategies in archaeology are often dominated by the geopolitical and financial constraints of excavation campaigns. Moreover, differences in the preservation of different materials provide a very fragmented picture of past human behaviour. As a result, networks constructed from archaeological data can be very sparse with apparent uncertainties. – How to introduce more complex assumptions concerning tie dependency in the reconstruction of archaeological networks? Network modelling is based on hypotheses from archaeological theory which in turn is based on archaeological evidence. A major challenge is how to infer the structure of an archaeological network given a set of assumptions regulating the occurrence of ties.– How to deal with the poor chronological control of archaeological data? The contemporaneity of observations and the exact sequence of events are often uncertain. This is problematic for network science techniques that assume node contemporaneity or require knowledge of the order of events. – How to consider complex socio-spatial phenomena? Archaeologists commonly study the spatial distribution of their data and evaluate to what extent spatial constraints influenced human behaviour. A limited number of spatial network techniques are currently available and many of these are not or hardly applicable in archaeology (e.g. network analysis of road networks).This session invites papers that address these or other methodological challenges that network scientists in archaeology are faced with. This session is organized by and will be chaired by: Termeh Shafie, Termeh.Shafie@uni-konstanz.de, Department of Computer & Information Science, University of Konstanz.

For more information on this event, please see http://www.lib.umich.edu/webarchivesconference Proposals may be submitted via email to webarc2015@umich.edu Overview: Research in almost all disciplines increasingly relies on evidence gleaned from websites, social media platforms, and other online resources. As scholars and instructors embrace these primary sources and discover new and innovative ways to interact with the data, their efforts are aligned--knowingly or not--with those of developers and archivists. While each of these communities recognize the web’s significance as an object and subject of research, questions about their respective assumptions, methodologies, and practices remain: - How do collecting policies and appraisal decisions shape web archives? - How can web archives be effectively integrated with classroom instruction and academic discourse in general? - How do available resources and technologies influence the extent and success of web captures? - How do scholars want to access and interact with web archives? - How can individual scholars ensure that the materials that they need will be available both for their research and for documenting their work? - What tools can optimize the use and reuse of archived websites and online materials? - What measures of confidence does the academic community have in the use of archived websites for research? - How can librarians, archivists, and technologists preserve the functionality and utility of complex web resources over the long-term? Proposals are welcome from librarians, archivists, faculty, researchers, developers, practitioners, students, and other interested parties; we are especially interested in papers and workshops that address: - The role of libraries, archives and museums in building and sustaining curated web collections. - Methods and tools for preserving and curating online materials. - Resources and best practices to promote access to and use of preserved websites and social media platforms. - On-demand web archiving and the creation of public web archives for documenting research. - Descriptive and citation practices for web archives. - Approaches to studying and analyzing web archive data. - Pedagogical strategies for teaching in the archive and with archival data. - Analysis of web and social media materials as cultural documents. - Preservation threats (such as technological and format obsolescence) that could impact the rendering and use of archived web content over the long-term. Presentation formats include : - Workshops - lead a hands-on session in which you introduce tools, techniques, or methods to other conference participants (75 minutes in length) - Paper presentations - present your own research related to topics listed above (20 minutes) - Panel presentations - curate 3-4 presentations that are thematically related (75 minutes) Proposal instructions : Please send an email with your proposal to webarc2015@umich.edu. Clearly indicate your proposed format and include a 200-300 word abstract, along with brief biographical statements for each participant. Proposals must be received by May 15, 2015.

I am forwarding it here to signal Professor Ó Corráin's rather amazingly early insight into the importance of the Web. In 1991, three months after the Web itself went online, UCC Computing Centre, in the person of Peter Flynn, responded to Ó Corráin's request to put his Thesaurus Linguarum Hiberniae online by establishing for it the first Web server in Ireland and the ninth in the world. I tell as much of the story as I have been able to unearth on pp. 524-7. Let us hope that the Festschrift itself is put online someday. --WM] INVITATION Dear Friends and Colleagues, We invite you to subscribe to the Tabula Gratulatoria for/Clerics, Kings and Vikings/, a collection of essays on medieval Ireland in honour of Donnchadh Ó Corráin, edited by Emer Purcell, Paul MacCotter, Julianne Nyhan & John Sheehan.

It is a knowledge representation system. It represents arguments to a certain degree of generalization in an attempt to make sense of what is a highly fragmented an uncoordinated digital humanities world. It addresses, to my mind, some (not all) of the trajectories (McCarty, 2007) and in particular No. 3  “1. A world‐wide, semi‐coordinated effort to create large online scholarly resources; 2. Out of this activity, the slow development of new genres in something like a digital Library; 3. Analytic modelling, to raise the epistemological question of how we know what we somehow know; 4. Synthetic modelling, to reconstruct lost artefacts from fragmentary evidence, blurring gradually into a 5.  Modelling for possible worlds”.

Though it is perhaps an understandable "mistake" to assume that a formal ontology that advertises itself as "intended to facilitate the integration, mediation and interchange of heterogeneous cultural heritage information" might be about museum objects. But I see now that CRMInf is something different. It is an ontology about reasoning and more general propositions that may cover textual elements and annotations. But to me naively it seems to require a lot of effort to apply CRMInf to a poem, or is there some automated way to make use of it? And I think this was what Martin was hinting at: simply how do you actually use it in practice, how much effort is it, and what would you get out of it? I think an actual example, unless already available online, would be overkill.

Sounds wonderful, doesn't it? But, as with Google's moulding of search results to the search habits of the individual, does this artifically semi-intelligent technique result in fewer opportunities to change your mind, your behaviour? To be surprised? To be serendipitous? In the mid 1980s Thomas Malone and others at MIT, responding (as I recall) to a U.S. government initiative to devise some way of coping with infoglut, devised "Information Lens". This system was designed to filter out online information for the user based on a self-specified profile. (For details, see Malone et al, "The Information Lens: An Intelligent System for Information Sharing in Organizations", in the Internet Archive.) So, in effect, it boxed the user in by allowing him or her to see only consciously determined items. Is not the automatic construction of a gradually more efficient filter based on information-seeking behaviour the same thing, only worse, more dangerous? Comments?

The workshop is a great opportunity for graduate students and postdocs, or faculty at any stage seeking experience with Digital Humanities research that they can document on a CV. THE DIGITAL MITFORD'S CODING SCHOOL: We call for participants and prospective new editors to join us from Wed. May 27 through Sunday May 31, 2015 for the Third Annual Workshop Series (or Coding School) of the Digital Mitford: the Mary Russell Mitford Archive, at http://mitford.pitt.edu. Please join us if you want to learn text encoding methods in Digital Humanities through hands-on participation in a large-scale digital archive project now well underway. We are happy to teach what we know and are learning, and to orient you to coding with hands-on experience on our active project as part of our end-of-May three-day workshop series. Our workshops are held at the lovely Pitt-Greensburg campus (http://greensburg.pitt.edu) during the last week of May 2015. We expect people to arrive on Wednesday May 27 and depart on Sunday. May 31, with our workshops running during the days from Thursday morning May 28 through Saturday evening May 30. WHO COMES? Though we draw our active editors from researchers of 19th-century literature, we hope that all who join the Mitford project (whatever their primary research field) will find good resources for professional scholarly research and publication, and gain beneficial experience for individual projects. Joining our workshop leads to a free first-year membership in the Text Encoding Initiative, the international consortium establishing best practices for encoding of digital texts. We anticipate hosting two kinds of audiences: 1) those who wish to join the Mitford project as active editors, and 2) equally welcome, those who wish to learn our methods to apply them to their own projects. Please note that the second audience must pay a registration fee to participate, but our fee is waived for continuing Digital Mitford editors and those we approve as new editors. More on this below. WHAT WE TEACH AND SHARE: - Discussion of Best Practices for editing digital scholarly editions - Opportunity to join an active and intensive "dig site" for important data on networks of women writers, theaters, and publishers from the 18th and 19th centuries - Hands-on Learning of Text Encoding, including the following: - TEI XML encoding - Autotagging and regular expression matching to prepare digital texts - Hands-on experience with XPath, code schemas, XSLT, and more - Individual and Group Instruction, working with our Explanatory Guides and Resources See http://www.pitt.edu/~ebb8/DHDS/ and scroll to Explanatory Guides.) HOW TO JOIN THE WORKSHOPS: First, please send me an e-mail (to ebb8@pitt.edu ) by Saturday April 11, 2015, indicating your interest in the MItford Workshops and in what role you wish to participate, whether as an Active Editor (or Advisor, or member of the Data Visualization Group) or as a Learner interesting in our text encoding methods but pursuing your own project agenda. This year, in order to help support the expense of hosting the workshops, we require a registration fee for Learning participants who will not be active editors on the project. The registration fee is waived for ongoing editors and for those whom we approve in advance as new editors on the project. If you wish to join us as a New Editor, we ask you to apply for this position (about which see below). For all others who come to learn our methods, registration fees are as follows: 1) Students, Adjunct Instructors, or Independent Scholars: $60. 2) Full-Time Faculty Members and Librarians: $180. All registration fees are to be paid by check to the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, and are due by mail by May 15, 2015. Please mail checks to: The Digital Mitford Project, c/o Elisa Beshero-Bondar, U. of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, 150 Finoli Drive, Greensburg, PA 15601-5804. (Donations to the project above and beyond this amount are, of course, quite welcome.) If you wish to become an Active Editor on the project for the long-term, and are willing to dedicate time and research to the Digital Mitford project beyond our workshop, to help develop digital editions, write editorial annotations and headnotes, research prosopography data; that is, if you are interested in having your name as a researcher be affiliated with the Digital Mitford project as we grow and develop, we ask that you write an application letter indicating your interest in working with us, and responding to the following questions: - What draws you to editing Mitford's letters and literary texts? - Which of her texts (or what kinds of texts by Mitford) are you particularly interested in helping with? (Letters, drama, poetry, prose fiction, essays, life-writing...?) - The Digital Mitford project is dedicated for the next three years to working on Mitford's letters and published texts from 1810 - 1825. Please indicate if you have a particular interest in Mitford's work from this period in your application. Applications may be written in the body of an e-mail message and addressed to me at ebb8@pitt.edu by Saturday April 11, 2015. The Mitford team will review the applications, and waive the registration fee by late April for those best qualified to join as active editors. Depending on the level of response to the workshop and available accommodation space, applications for Active Editor positions may be competitive. BUDGETING FOR THE MAY 2015 WORKSHOPS: - We will cover the costs of residence in suites (with kitchens and good wireless internet) at the Pitt- Greensburg campus and will arrange for licenses for an extended (90-day) period to use our XML editing software . - We cannot cover the costs of travel to Pitt-Greensburg, but we can and do coordinate rides from the Pittsburgh International Airport and the Amtrak train stations in Pittsburgh and in Greensburg. - We ask each participant to investigate local funding sources to help cover the costs of travel here. If all else fails, we will happily make it possible for you to attend the workshops through Skype as we have done in previous years, but it's best if we can all be together in person! Thanks, everyone, for reading and sharing with interested parties! We look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces at beautiful Pitt-Greensburg at the end of May! Please feel free to write me with any questions in advance of our registration and application due date of Sat. April 11.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2015 11:14:21 -0500 From: Amanda Gailey Subject: Scholarly Editing 2015 Published; CFP for 2016 We are pleased to announce the publication of the newest issue of Scholarly Editing: The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing (vol. 36, 2015), online at www.scholarlyediting.org. Scholarly Editing publishes peer-reviewed editions of primary source materials of cultural significance while continuing the tradition of publishing articles and reviews about scholarly editing. This year, we have introduced a new feature, "Reflections on the Editor's Craft," where we will publish the views of experienced editors on practical aspects of editing. As always, the editions represent diverse materials from a variety of fields, and this year we present editions of a nineteenth-century American manuscript drama; an antislavery poem's circulation and recreation through nineteenth-century American newspaper reprintings; a sixteenth-century Italian play; and a twentieth century experimental autobiography presented in a provocatively nonlinear, interactive edition. We are pleased not only to present editors with a rigorously peer-reviewed publication platform, but also to share fascinating documents from cultural history with the reading public. All of this material is available freely online and is completely open-access. Please see below for our call for editions and articles for next year's issue, as well as the full table of contents for the 2015 issue.

While this was an improvement over previous years, the ALA President at the time wrote, “Although the findings show some improvement in the diversity of the library workforce, we clearly have a long way to go . . . To continue to serve the nation’s increasingly diverse communities, our libraries and the profession must reflect this diversity.” At the programmatic level ALA supports closing this gap in part through the Spectrum Scholarship Program. The Association of Research Libraries complement this effort with the Initiative to Recruit a Diverse Workforce (IRDW), Career Enhancement Program (CEP), ARL/SAA Mosaic Program, and the Leadership and Career Development Program (LCDP). In combination with these programs a number of other professional organizations, corporate partners, and individual donors have begun to support conference participation by individuals of diverse backgrounds – Code4Lib and the Digital Library Federation offer representative examples. For HASTAC 2015, EBSCO is generously providing a Library and Information Science (LIS) Student Diversity Scholarship for one library student of diverse background to participate. The scholarship covers travel, accommodation, and conference registration in an amount up to $1500. Eligibility Requirements: - identify as a racial/ethnic minority group - currently enrolled in an ALA accredited graduate program in library and information science - demonstrate experience and/or interest in digital humanities and libraries Application Requirements: - completed scholarship form - CV (send to Thomas Padilla – tpadilla@msu.edu) Resources http://www.ala.org/offices/diversity/diversitycounts/divcounts http://www.cdc.gov/minorityhealth/populations/remp.html http://www.ala.org/offices/diversity/spectrum http://www.arl.org/leadership-recruitment/diversity-recruitment http://www.diglib.org/archives/4771/ http://code4lib.org/conference/2015/scholarships Thomas G.

Actually we are about change the description because it is now very out of date, but cultural heritage itself encompasses a wide range of disciplines. You may be right about the poem but i am willing to have go (why not) and see what it looks like. I think perhaps that people are thinking about it as something more complicated than it is but that is why a practical example is useful. Thanks again for your clarification.

REED is at the start of a substantial shift in how it publishes its record collections, from print to online, and the successful candidate will be an integral member of the team responsible for developing this new digital approach to publishing these resources for research and education. REED is a longstanding research and editorial project, with partnership for maintenance and sustainability of its digital resources at the University of Toronto Libraries. REED is overseen by an international Executive Board, with a Digital Advisory Committee guiding its Digital Humanities initiatives. The Digital Humanities Fellow will join the project on site at the University of Toronto in order to work effectively with the general editor, editorial staff, developers, and research assistants. The Fellow will also work closely with REED’s Digital Advisory Committee, who, along with members of the Executive Board, will provide guidance, mentorship, and professionalization. The Digital Humanities fellow will be key to the development of a new digital editing and publication environment for REED’s forthcoming digital collections. As a member of the editorial team, the fellow will also participate meaningfully in the development of the online indexing of REED collections, and work to establish progressive new strategies for glossing medieval and early modern documents through editing and encoding of TEI documents and development of REED’s new digital production environment. The successful candidate will demonstrate superior skills and aptitudes in early modern research, textual studies, and scholarly editing in Digital Humanities contexts. Advanced competency in TEI- compliant XML (P5) is required and some XSLT 2.0 experience is strongly desirable. Engagement in open source development, digital scholarship frameworks and open access approaches to scholarship is essential. In addition, he or she should possess strong organizational skills and the desire to learn and pursue research in an interdisciplinary, collaborative environment. The successful applicant will also be encouraged to pursue his or her own research while at U of T, while receiving training and career development opportunities through REED’s international network as well as members of the REED Executive Board and Digital Advisory Committee. Salary for this position is competitive in the Canadian context.Applicants must have completed their PhD within five years of the beginning of the fellowship. Applicants who will defend their thesis before 1 July 2015 are eligible, but a letter from their supervisor or Chair may be requested. Any award will be conditional on a successful defense. Applicants who received their PhD prior to 1 July 2010 are ineligible. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. The University of Toronto is strongly committed to diversity within its community and especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may further expand the range of ideas and perspectives. Applications, comprising a brief cover letter, CV, a sample of Digital Humanities work in medieval or early modern scholarship, and the names and contact information for three referees, may be sent electronically to the general editor, Sally­Beth MacLean, at >. Applications will be received and reviewed until the position is filled; the position can begin as early as June 2015. All applications received will be acknowledged. -- Diane Jakacki, Ph.D. Digital Scholarship Coordinator Faculty Teaching Associate in Comparative Humanities Bucknell University diane.jakacki@bucknell.edu @DianeJakacki _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 53866D70; Tue, 7 Apr 2015 07:19:16 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 92C64CA4; Tue, 7 Apr 2015 07:19:15 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7729DCA4; Tue, 7 Apr 2015 07:19:13 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150407051913.7729DCA4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2015 07:19:13 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.869 an argument & belief system X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150407051915.8935.68448@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 869.

Cf. Meggle, Georg / Manfred Beetz 1976: Interpretationstheorie und Interpretationspraxis. Kronberg/Ts. (Wissenschaftstheorie und Grundlagenforschung 3) If such efforts tend to fail analyzing extant interpretations that's not the analyzer's fault, but caused by the lack of interpreter's rationality, isn't it? Apart from the example requested by Martin and Desmond I'm very interested in a debate detailing the cons against the use of an argument? & belief system to model scholarly literary communications.

A special focus will be placed on the doctoral training programmes at the BL and on the upcoming 2015 British Library Labs competition. For more details, see http://labs.bl.uk/British+Library+Labs+Competition+2015 . Deadline for applications is 30 April, so come prepared with your ideas and proposals. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss potential competition entries and collaborative projects more generally. The event will also be an excellent opportunity to get to know other students and staff interested in digital research and to explore common methodologies, opportunities and challenges. A buffet lunch and refreshments will be provided. Please book as soon as possible, as places will fill up fast! https://store.herts.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&deptid=14&catid=12&prodid=251 Dr. Pieter Francois Lecturer in Digital History University of Hertfordshire --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Apr 2015 17:34:27 +0100 From: James Cummings Subject: TE Hackathon at DH2015 TEI Hackathon at DH2015: Building Tools for TEI Collections The TEI Consortium is sponsoring a Hackathon at DH2015 on 29 June 2015. To register for the Hackathon you must first submit a brief application at http://tinyurl.com/tei-hackathon-dh2015 prior to registering for the 'workshop' on the http://dh2015.org/ website. You'll be notified by 15 May (if not before) of your acceptance on the hackathon. The Guidelines of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) are widely used for creating resources, but there is little standardisation across multiple projects for querying, searching, and analysing TEI-encoded texts. Developers unfamiliar with the TEI often approach the development of TEI processing systems either with trepidation or ignorance of potential complications. This unconference-style Hackathon is open either to developers with very little TEI experience (but significant programming skills) or experts in the TEI (with a little programming experience), or people who have both. *It is not a training workshop!* There is no charge for those attending this day-long workshop, but you will be expected to work in groups to program something useful. Applications to join the Hackathon should be completed online at http://tinyurl.com/tei-hackathon-dh2015 before 1 May. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by 15 May. Late applications will be considered if there is space. -James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings@it.ox.ac.uk Academic IT Services, University of Oxford --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 12:41:57 -0500 From: Élika_Ortega Subject: CFP: DH Forum 2015, University of Kansas Dear all, I'm pleased to share the CFP for our Fall IDRH http://idrh.ku.edu Digital Humanities Forum which will be taking place on September 25 & 26, 2015. Please share far and wide ! All best, Élika ----- Peripheries, barriers, hierarchies: rethinking access, inclusivity, and infrastructure in global DH practice http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2015 Digital Humanities engages in many alternative scholarly forms and practices, and thus positions itself as a channel for exploring and challenging how social and institutional constructs shape traditional and digital academic discourses. Yet DH itself contains many non-neutral practices and is far from barrier-free. Digital Humanities practices, tools, infrastructures, and methodologies often embed a variety of assumptions that shape what kind of scholarship gets made, studied, and communicated; how it is represented to the world; and who can participate in that making and communication. A truly accessible DH goes beyond technical standards and provides people and communities of different abilities, genders, sexual orientations, languages and cultures--and of varying levels of access to technology and infrastructure--the capacity to shape and pursue scholarship that addresses their own interests and needs. In a global context, the expansion of DH practices around the world and beyond the academy can reveal the ways in which dominant, hegemonic practices within the field tend to reinforce the very inequalities DH attempts to correct through its embrace of accessibility and knowledge production. Thus, specific practices in Global DH can call attention to the explicit and implicit contradictions in broader DH practices. Our 2015 Digital Humanities Forum will take a critical approach to exploring peripheries, barriers and hierarchies of digital humanities practice in a global context, identifying those assumptions, and advocating and showcasing alternative practices to advance the field. We will critically engage these issues by exploring themes such as inclusivity, accessibility, global perspectives, decolonization, and democratization as they relate to digital humanities practice and infrastructure. The Forum will take place on Saturday, September 26, following a full day of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on Friday, September 25. We seek projects, research results, or critical/theoretical approaches to topics such as (but not limited to) the following: - How do embedded assumptions of DH practice shape what gets made, studied, and communicated; - The limitations of digital structures and infrastructures such as code/databases/ operating systems/interfaces/standards to represent or highlight cultural/gender/linguistic specificities, and efforts to get past these limitations; - Inclusion and exclusion in digital collections: archival silences, massive digital libraries, digital recovery projects; - "Accessible DH" that includes different abilities, languages, genders and sexual orientations, socio-economic conditions, and access to technical knowledge and infrastructure; - Case studies of projects focusing on accessibility and actively focusing on openness; - Case studies of indigenous, gendered, transnational, or “Global South” DH; - The concept and practice of minimal computing (sustainable computing done under some set of significant constraints of hardware, software, education, network capacity, power, or other factors); - Projects exploring data in languages other than English or working towards multilingual presentation; - Critical making, hacking, tinkering, and non-textual modes of knowledge production; - "Soft infrastructures" such as ideas of ownership, copyright, and intellectual property and their impact on global DH practice. DH Forum best student paper award: Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. One student presentation will be selected for an award based on the quality, originality, clarity of the written abstract, along with its alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The awardee will be presented with a check for $400 and award certificate at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the award. For a paper to be eligible, at least fifty percent of the research reported in the paper must be performed by one or more student authors, and the student must be the primary presenter of the paper at the conference. Please submit abstracts of 500 words maximum in PDF format to idrh@ku.edu by June 1 Élika Ortega, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Researcher Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities Watson Library 450, University of Kansas elikaortega.net | @elikaortega --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2015 20:44:40 +0000 From: Hugh Burkhart Subject: Digital Initiatives Symposium Final Call 2015 University of San Diego Digital Initiatives Symposium Registration Closes Monday, April 20th Wednesday, April 29, 2015, 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. Joan B.

A technique, approach or theory (call it what you will) is introduced then quickly becomes the only game in town. Or, to put the matter somewhat differently, an intriguing, even compelling "as if" quickly morphs into an "is". Critically intelligent scholars are swept up as easily as supposedly less intelligent people are by a change in clothing, music or whatever. Evidence in particular cases suggests that the "next new thing" was there for years or decades, as it were, waiting for its moment. Quantification in history, before it took off after WWII, is an example. Lawrence Stone's crucial article, "The revival of narrative: Reflections on a new old history", Past and Present 85 (1979): 3-24, gives a fine account of that. I ask naively, why are we so easily swept away when we know, or should know, that whatever it is will soon be old hat? Why not many games in town? Surely we can see that the fever for Big Data, like the outbreak of "scientific history" Stone chronicles, is a mixed bag, not The Truth? Is all this not a tale whose moral is to stay detached, or as much as one can, from the intellectual catwalk? Better questions most welcome!

You conclude with a question: > Is all this not a tale whose moral is to stay detached, or as much as > one can, from the intellectual catwalk? Counter-intuitively and resisting a fight-or-flee response, could we not imagine scholars participating in the ebb and flow of trends not as victims of fashion and accessories (to quote the Rough Trade song http://lyrics.wikia.com/Rough_Trade:Fashion_Victim) but as intrepid voguers? Would the better question be one about the manufacture of attention and focus and group process? Communication about scholarship is not only about the pull of the hip but also about the push of the perenial.

In-Reply-To: <20150409055208.64C5CDE6@digitalhumanities.org> HI Willard, I agree that digital humanists are driven by the latest digital fashion, but how else can it be? We are too small to set digital trends and as Mr Richard Stallman keeps telling us: "The computer industry is the only industry that is more fashion-driven than women's fashion." What I find actually more interesting when dredging through old archives of the digital humanities is the way that the same ideas keep resurfacing with a frequency of around 5-7 years. This was particularly noticeable when I researched the overlapping hierarchies problem. The same solutions would be reinvented with a different acronym exactly like the cycle of fashion (size of busts, tightness of pants). The reason seems to be that there are only so many key problems and only so many possible solutions. Once we have forgotten about one proposal it is time to dust it off and reinvent it. I'm thinking about things like the many attempts to reduce TEI tag sets to improve interoperability. But I guess I'm no better than my peers in that I also find echoes of my own work in the archives, which is a bit embarrassing, but also funny.

The focus of SFCM are actual working systems for linguistically motivated morphological analysis and generation, computational frameworks for implementing such systems, and linguistic frameworks suitable for computational implementation. Applications of morphological systems, e.g., in natural language processing, linguistics, or digital humanities, are also relevant topics. From the point of view of computational linguistics, morphological resources form the basis for all higher-level applications. This is especially true for languages with a rich morphology like German, Finnish, Polish, or Latin. A morphology component should thus be capable of analyzing single wordforms as well as whole corpora. For many practical applications, not only morphological analysis, but also generation is required, i.e., the production of surfaces corresponding to specific categories. Apart from uses in computational linguistics, there are numerous practical applications that can benefit from morphological analysis and/or generation or even require it, for example in textual analysis, word processing, information retrieval, or dialog systems. These applications have specific requirements for morphological components, including requirements from software engineering, such as programming interfaces or robustness. The proceedings of SFCM 2015 will be published by Springer-Verlag in their CCIS series (as for the previous editions of SFCM). The SFCM 2015 keynote will be given by Magda Ševčíková (Charles University in Prague) on the topic of Morphology within the Multi-Layered Annotation Scenario of Prague Dependency Treebank. SFCM is an activity of the SIG Generation and Parsing of the German Society for Computational Linguistics and Language Technology (GSCL). * Topics The topics of this workshop include technical and linguistic aspects related to the development of systems and frameworks for computational morphology, applications and evaluation of such systems and frameworks, as well as interactions between computational morphology and formal, quantitative, and descriptive morphology. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Software frameworks for developing morphological components. - Open-source systems, tools, and resources for analyzing and generating word forms. - Linguistic frameworks for computational morphology. - Implementations of formal models of morphology for individual languages and language families, including historical languages and language variants. - Use of morphological analysis and generation in NLP applications. - Use of morphological systems in linguistic research, i.e., studies that address formal morphological issues with the help of computational methods, tools, and resources. - Use of morphological systems in digital humanities research. - Approaches for handling phenomena at the interface between morphology and neighboring levels of linguistic description, such as phonetics, morphophonology, and syntax. - Methods and criteria for evaluating morphological components with respect to performance, quality, and coverage. - Software engineering aspects: APIs, robustness, performance, hardware/software requirements, resource usage. - License models, versioning, and legal aspects. The workshop includes a demo session for presenting individual systems and resources and in-depth discussion. * Submissions We invite researchers to submit original work in one of the following forms: - Long papers describing complete works of research (up to 20 pages, including references) - Short papers describing smaller complete works of research or novel challenges or visions (up to 10 pages) Submissions must be in English.

Relatedly, we will also look at what is the nature of this 'form' - when cultural reservoirs are digital how is the nature of archives changing? And what may the effects of these new kinds of archives be, then, on ways how cultural memory is curated by various groupings in the society. That is, digital humanities may also have a political function - to point to ideological effects of how archives are structured and to power struggles that may shape these ideological workings. It is in such contested context that European governments are investing substantial resources into digitising the various forms of cultural heritage with the rationale to turn the heritage into a resource for reuse and innovation. We will discuss what enables such innovation and what may limit it. And what is the relationship, then, between the contestations of memory curation and heritage based innovation? The seminar consists of 1) lectures and discussions conducted by Estonian and invited lecturers. 2) group meetings structured around student presentations and constructive feedback. Participants are invited to submit presentations on work in progress or future projects, limited to twenty minutes. We welcome proposals relating to all sub-fields of humanities and culture studies. Presenting at the workshop is recommended but not required. Students are expected to participate in the full study programme, and either present a paper at the workshop or submit a symposium diary (this can be a reflexion or summary of presentations most relevant to the student, about 2000 words) by July 15th. Interested graduate students can apply for the seminar by sending following information to Riina Trofimova (riina@ehi.ee) by April 20th: 1) a short curriculum vitae; 2) an abstract of the presentation or a statement of interest (ca 300 words); All graduate students and immediate post-docs working on digital forms of culture are welcome to apply. Invited speakers: David Berry Dr David Berry is a Reader in Media and Film at the University of Sussex, he is also director of Sussex Humanities Lab and co-director of the Centre for Material Digital Culture at the same University. He has published extensively on digital humanities. In addition to numerous journal articles he edited one of the seminal anthologies in this subject area ("Understanding digital humanities", Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) and is currently co-writing (with Anders Fagerjord) a monograph titled "Digital Humanities" (Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming in 2016). Dr. Berry's research interests combine in intriguing ways digital humanities with critical theory, algorithms with political theory and software studies with political economy. Adelheid Heftberger Dr Adelheid Heftberger is a researcher and curator at Austrian Filmmuseum in Vienna. In recent years she has published extensively on the connections between digital humanities and film heritage/archives. Her curatorial work includes work on the collection of the works of Dziga Vertov. And it is also Vertov's heritage that she has studied in detail using the principles and methods of digital humanities. Sarah Atkinson Dr Sarah Atkinson is Principal Lecturer in Film and Media, and the Assistant Head of School for Digital Transformations at the University of Brighton. She recently authored a book "Beyond the Screen: Emerging Cinema and Engaging Audiences" (Bloomsbury, 2014). Much of her research has been focusing on the new functions and affordances of digital audio-visual archives. She recently co-edited the February issue of Convergence titled "Digital Archives & Open Archival Practices", which brought together researchers, artists, professionals and practitioners from the field of digital archives and the archiving of practice. The issue explored the affordances of digital technologies upon archival practices whereby there is a notable shift from the closed to the open and from the traditional single-user archive model to emerging multi-user, collaborative forms of archival practices and scholarship. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2015 02:14:43 +0200 From: Elisabeth Burr Subject: "Culture & Technology" - European Summer University in Digital Humanities 28th of July - 07th of August 2015 "Culture & Technology" - European Summer University in Digital Humanities (ESU DH C & T) 28th of July - 07th of August 2015, University of Leipzig http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ This is to announce that since the 28th of February 2015 applications for a place at the European Summer University in Digital Humanities "Culture & Technology" (ESU DH C & T) are being accepted via *ConfTool* (https://www.conftool.net/esu2015/) and that we have started to assign places to applicants whose application was positively reviewed by the experts.

The Summer School takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. The *workshop programme* is composed of the following thematic strands: * XML-TEI encoding, structuring and rendering * Methods and Tools for the Corpus Annotation of Historical and Contemporary Written Texts * Comparing Corpora * Spoken Language and Multimodal Corpora * Python * Basic Statistics and Visualization with R * Stylometry * Open Greek and Latin * Digital Editions and Editorial Theory: Historical Texts and Documents * Spatial Analysis in the Humanities * Building Thematic Research Collections with Drupal * Introduction to Project Management Each workshop consists of a total of 16 sessions or 32 week-hours. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. The description of all workshops can be found at http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/481 in at least two languages. Short bios in at least two languages are available of most workshop leaders at http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/488. The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based cooperations and network-building across the borders of disciplines, countries and cultures. The Summer University seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives, to name only some of the most important areas. The Summer University aims at integrating these activities into the broader context of the Digital Humanities, which pose questions about the consequences and implications of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds. In all this the Summer University aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide , i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany and Europe. But, instead of strengthening the hard sciences as such by following the way taken by so many measures which focus on the so-called STEM disciplines and try to convince women of the attractiveness and importance of Computer Science or Engineering, the Summer University relies on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders between the so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. As the Summer University is dedicated not only to the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but wants also to foster community building and networking across disciplines, languages and cultures, countries and continents, the programme of the Summer School features also communal coffee breaks, communal lunches in the refectory of the university, and a rich cultural programme (thematic guided tours, visits of archives, museums and exhibitions, and communal dinners in different parts of Leipzig). Participation fees are the same as last year.

As an historian I follow the trends with great interest. What matters in that guise is not the truth of what people have said or the wisdom of what they have done but the fact of their sayings and doings. As a technologist of modest proportions I surf the wave. As a digital humanist, feet planted squarely where the humanities meet computing, or more tellingly where they crash into each other, it's the perennial I go for, or rather the emergence of ever better questions that catches my eye. The next-new-thing, bandwagon-hooting, humanities-saving hype is to that persona a silly distraction. As Editor of Humanist, like Desmond I find the resurfacing of old ideas most interesting -- a mechanism of conversational memory that, I am told, is how oral cultures keep their collective memory going? If there's a persona hovering above, or somewhere near, all these others, then that one would be the moralist who worries about how limited energies are spent.

This series started in 2014 and will continue for the next 5 years. Tailored for early career university teachers and researchers, the school is designed to qualify and promote the diffusion of methods and tools for controversy mapping. Participants will participate in a collaborative effort to not only dig deeper into the question of what controversies are, why they are interesting, and how they might be mapped, but also produce a series of examples and conceptual illustrations to help us crystallise our thinking and teaching in these respects. This year’s school will be organised around several activities: research, pedagogic innovation and tutorials, and a tool development sprint. You can find all the details, including the link to the online inscription form, in the attached programme. The summer school is free and includes lunches. The deadline for applications is the 31st of May.

Being listed in the catalogue is an important moment for a Hypotheses blog, as it adds value to active blogs with a structured publishing project. Cataloguing makes blogs more visible and better referenced, in particular because they are attributed an ISSN by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. It also makes it possible for interested readers to subscribe to the blog and receive regular alerts about its new posts. If your blog has not yet been listed in our catalogue and you think it should be, please contact us at hypotheses[at]openedition.org On behalf of the Hypotheses team and academic board, we would like to express our deep thanks to bloggers for the vitality of their community, the quality of their publications and their constant inventiveness in developing new practices on their Hypotheses blogs. See you very soon on Hypotheses!

The individual may have limited energy but the community as an ongoing network of individuals can tap into new sources of energy. Part of the social reproduction of intellectual circles depends upon repetition and much repetition is about noise. Allow me to self-quote a reference to the work of Judith Schlanger that may illuminate what I mean. In L'invention intellectuelle Judith Schlanger suggests that noise, the sheer mass of popularisation which the French call "vulgarisation" contributes to significant breakthroughs. Each rearticulation of current knowledge is a displacing repetition and affects however slightly the paths open and opening to thinkers. Opting for more flash, Marshall McLuhan stated that breakdown leads to breakthrough. One could endorse such a historiography of crisis and rupture. However ways have been opened to do otherwise. http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance/S0.HTM Fashion and trends are ways for ideas, concepts, theories, methodologies and procedures to replicate. They are not mere symptoms; they are the tracks of vectors. Chatter, I contend, extends discourse beyond the walls of the academy or the bounds of a specific discipline: brings attention if not understanding. Allow me another quotation. A quick portrait of a marriage from of the verse letters in Clive James Fan Mail I don't know what my wife's at, half the time: Locked up with microfilms of some frail text Once copied from a copy's copy. I'm Dead chuffed as well as miffed to be perplexed, Contented neither of us has annexed The other's field. Though it's conceit-sounding, We Jameses think each other quite astounding. And in some corner of the universe fashion serves the marriage of true minds...

Hirsch" Subject: Digital Renaissance Editions launched DIGITAL RENAISSANCE EDITIONS http://digitalrenaissance.uvic.ca/ Digital Renaissance Editions officially launched during the Shakespeare Association of America meeting in Vancouver, on Saturday 4 April 2015. The project launched its new website with completed editions of *The Honest Whore Parts One and Two* (edited by Joost Daalder) and *An Humorous Day's Mirth* (edited by Eleanor Lowe). Digital Renaissance Editions publishes open-access critical editions of non-Shakespearean early English drama and related materials. Each edition offers a fully annotated modern-spelling text, collations of textual variants, facsimiles and transcriptions of early textual witnesses, and generous introductions and commentary. A growing database of multimedia performance materials supplements the editions, and critical essays on topics relevant to the study of early English drama are soon to be commissioned. Digital Renaissance Editions shares the publication platform developed by the Internet Shakespeare Editions, allowing for complementary interlinking between both projects' editions and content. All content is subject to rigorous peer review, and is completely open access. Some 50 scholars, theatre practitioners, directors of stage and screen, software developers and designers from around the world serve on the project's editorial and advisory boards. Such a project also relies on its users -- the scholarly community in particular -- to grow and thrive. We invite you to join our mission to expand the canon of early modern drama, one play at a time. We welcome your contributions, whether by proposing to edit a play for the series, submitting materials to the performance database and Critical Companion, using the completed editions and works-in-progress in your teaching and research, or by simply reporting bugs, errors, and areas of possible improvement to us. We have much to accomplish, and this is only the beginning. Brett D. Hirsch Coordinating Editor -- Dr Brett D.

Three editions of ACRH were held, respectively in 2011 (Heidelberg, Germany), 2012 (Lisbon, Portugal) and 2013 (Sofia, Bulgaria). CRH wants to be a meeting place for both scholars from Computational Linguistics and from the Humanities (especially, Digital Humanities). Although the two research areas share a number of common topics, there is still limited collaboration between the two communities. Since the empirical evidence provided by corpora plays a central role in both disciplines, we believe that a workshop focussed on the different uses of (different kinds of) corpus data in the Humanities might represent a valid opportunity to make the two communities meet, discuss and compare their interests, methods and aims. CRH is co-located with with the "Fourteenth International Workshop on Treebanks and Linguistic Theories" (TLT-14), to be held in Warsaw on 11-12 December 2015.

I am happy to announce that our academic website 'Georgian Cities' http://www.18thc-cities.paris-sorbonne.fr , after being launched for a preview in late 2014 as a conclusion to the 'Georgian Year', is now fully operational, as an example of digital humanities resources in the historical field. We presented an earlier version in CD format at ALLC and DH conferences. Please visit it; we shall be grateful to see any comment on this piece of research. We would appreciate that in your forthcoming news, you recommend a visit of our website to eighteenth-century specialists and digital humanists, or add a link where suitable.

These references can be specific (e.g. C sharp in the treble clef) or general (fugal passage, Thor's Hammer). Two kinds of user might be interested in finding such passages in music. Firstly, musicologists or musicians who often wish to find detailed features of a work in order to carry out further analysis or to prepare for a performance. These users know exactly what they are looking for and can express it in sophisticated natural language but may need help finding it. Secondly, people learning about music who would like to see examples of concepts they are not sure about (e.g. a perfect cadence) so that they can learn more about music itself. The C@merata task is aimed at both classes of user. Task participants are asked to develop a system capable of answering a series of short questions. The two inputs for each question are: (1) a short noun phrase in English and (2) a short classical music score in MusicXML. The required response is a list of one or more passages in the score which contain the feature. The C@merata 2015 task builds on the first edition of this task in 2014 for which there were 200 questions to be matched against twenty scores in a carefully defined distribution of question types. Some questions were simple (e.g. quarter note rest) while others were slightly harder (e.g. D4 in the right hand). A few were more complex musically (e.g. tonic triad). Half the questions used English terminology (e.g. quaver) and half American (e.g. eighth note). The 2015 task will be carried out on similar lines with a wider range of more challenging questions. However, there will still be a distribution of easier and more difficult types.

Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Special Topic on Disability as Insight, Access as the Function of Design Issue 8 of The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy Special Topic: Disability as Insight, Access as the Function of Design Issue Editors: Sushil K. Oswal, University of Washington Andrew J. Lucchesi, The Graduate Center, CUNY DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MAY 15! http://jitp.commons.gc.cuny.edu/submit/#issuecall JITP welcomes work that explores critical and creative uses of interactive technology in teaching, learning, research, and the workplace. For this issue, we invite submissions from both senior and emerging scholars under the linked themes of disability and access as generative focuses for technological design and pedagogical innovation. In this issue of JITP, rather than approaching disability as a problem to be solved, we seek proposals for projects that imagine, explore, and underscore the positive gains to be had by embracing disability perspectives on accessible designs. We draw on Elizabeth Sanders and Pieter Jan Stappers's conception of future-minded generative design research and ask contributors to propose projects that would inform and inspire future designers, teachers, and researchers to shape digital tools, methodologies, and environments which de-center ableistic visions of technology, composing processes, curricular content, and access itself. We seek submissions of critical narratives and analyses that underscore the contributions disability makes in stretching the boundaries of design while asserting a central place for accessibility, inclusivity, and bodily difference. We also welcome topics that challenge or reconceptualize the traditional notions of assistive technologies and accessible designs whether or not they necessarily address the topic from the perspective of Disability Studies. Rhetorical analysis of technology, accessibility, and disability can also be a productive area of exploration. Submit inquiries to oswal@u.washington.edu and alucchesi@gradcenter.cuny.edu. Suggested topics may include but are not limited to: - What does it mean to compose multimodally with accessibility in view as a person with or without disability? What might it look like to design inclusive user interactions in social virtual spaces? What complexity, creativity, or obfuscations are visible in today's social media compositions at the intersections of gender, race, and disability? - What novel disability and accessibility scholarship projects have been made, or are possible by virtual Social Networks? What new knowledge is possible through assistive-technology-related disability and accessibility research for universal users? - Besides the functional innovations, what possibilities for play and improvisation are possible through assistive technologies and related research? How do such play and improvisation stabilize existing knowledge and directionally change the generation of new knowledge? - Development of assistive technology tools or applications for "mainstream" purposes; rhetorics of assistive technologies; rhetorical histories of assistive technologies morphing into "mainstream" products; rhetorics of, or analyses of, consumer mobile technologies as assistive technologies; visions of assistive technologies for able-bodied users. - Analyses of new models of Universal Design; benefits and/or analyses of disabled-centered participatory designs; position papers on innovative, crowd-sourced designs by and for the disabled. - Generative research methods for evaluating accessible designs, products, and pedagogies; profiles or analyses of digital tools for disability activism, or community building; or experiments in fostering accessibility in learning, work, and research environments in college and beyond. - We invite both textual and multimedia submissions employing interdisciplinary and creative approaches in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Besides scholarly papers, the proposed submissions can consist of audio or visual presentations and interviews, dialogues, or conversations; creative/artistic works; manifestos; or other scholarly materials. All JITP submissions are subject to an open peer review process. The expected length for finished manuscripts is under 5,000 words. Submissions received that do not fall under the special issue topic but do fall under JITP's broader themes will still be considered for publication in Issue 8. Important Dates Submission deadline for full manuscripts for this Fall 2015 Issue is May 15, 2015. When submitting using our Open Journal Systems software, under "Journal Section," please select the section titled "Issue 8: Special Issue." _______________________________________________ Institute mailing list Institute@lists.uvic.ca https://lists.uvic.ca/mailman/listinfo/institute _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 636895F2F; Thu, 16 Apr 2015 09:29:47 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B155A5EF7; Thu, 16 Apr 2015 09:29:46 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D20D95EC8; Thu, 16 Apr 2015 09:29:43 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150416072943.D20D95EC8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2015 09:29:43 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.894 lectureship at Liverpool X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150416072947.31157.67623@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 894.

Rather than teaching everything there is to know about algorithms, the Hackathon will assist participants with their specific data-related problem, so that they can take away the knowledge needed to tackle the issue(s) at hand. The focus of this Hackathon is automatic text re-use detection and aims at engaging participants in intensive collaboration. Participants will be introduced to technologies representing the state of the art in the field and shown the potential of text re-use detection.

You will find the program on the conference's website: http://dhbenelux.org/ http://dhbenelux.org/ . Please note that this is the *preliminary* program, subject to changes. We were very excited to welcome many great contributions of high quality. Unfortunately this also meant that competition is up and we had to reject a larger number of papers than the previous year. We shall however take it as a positive sign of a well developing DH Benelux community. Please check out this year's host of high quality papers, posters, and demosŠ DHQ: Special DH Benelux Issue It also gives us great pleasure to be able to announce that we have found the editorial board of Digital Humanities Quarterly willing to work together with us on a special issue of DHQ (http://digitalhumanities.org/dhq/ http://digitalhumanities.org/dhq/ ) on the occasion of DHBenelux 2015. The special issue will show case the highlight contributions to the conference. Bursaries for Early Career Scholars We are also proud to announce that we can offer a limited number of bursaries to early career scholars who wish to attend the DH Benelux conference. In addition to a reimbursement fee to cover travel and accommodation expenses, the bursary will include an invitation to the conference dinner at the Antwerp Zoo, and a waiver of the recipient¹s registration fee. For more information on these bursaries please refer to the dedicated section on our website (http://dhbenelux.org/#Bursaries http://dhbenelux.org/#Bursaries ). Registration It remains then for us to once again kindly invite you to join us for this exciting digital humanities event in the beautiful and bustling city of Antwerp. Registration is now open. We offer discount fees for early bird registration (until May 15). Please refer to the registration form (http://dhbenelux.org/#Registration http://dhbenelux.org/#Registration ) for more information. Please also note that instead of an integrated fee payment system we rather make use of decentralized highly intelligent payment systems that are able to ensure timely payment of fees to the appropriate account (this means you). Reminder: Workshop on Visualization in DH Finally, we also wish to remind you that the University of Antwerp¹s Platform Digital Humanities is organizing a three day workshop on 'Visualization in Digital Humanities' that will immediately follow the DH Benelux conference (10-12 June 2015).

It will show what can be accomplished when research data is opened up for collaboration. Participants will enhance their skills and learn to use new tools to visualize data and work with digital assets. The event will also be an opportunity to meet other scholars from diverse fields and to learn about emerging common practices in DH. This full day event on June 1st will be punctuated by 30 to 60 minute presentations of research projects and workshops on tools available for use by participants. In addition to the research data made available by selected DH researchers, a list of open data sources and tools will be provided. Check back on this space as our program develops. Experienced and novice hackers are welcome! No prior knowledge of DH techniques or tools is required, but curiosity and a desire to collaborate are essential! Visit our Congress event page to register: http://congress2015.ca/program/events/hackcongress-bring-your-own-data A hackfest is an event designed to bring together a group of people to work collectively on a project or a problem, based on the premise that working collaboratively and with different skill sets, a group can accomplish more than an individual working alone.

If you have already registered for the conference, please disregard this email. Digital Humanities is the annual international conference of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (ADHO) and will next be held in Sydney, Australia, 29 June - 3 July 2015. This will be the first time that the annual Digital Humanities conference is being held outside of Europe and North America in its 26-year history. The theme of Global Digital Humanities acknowledges the field’s expansion worldwide across disciplines, cultures and languages. DH2015 is hosted by the University of Western Sydney’s Digital Humanities Research Group, a leader in collaborative digital humanities in the Asia-Pacific region. The conference is held in partnership with the State Library of New South Wales and in collaboration with GovHack 2015 and the third International Linked Open Data in Libraries, Archives, and Museums Summit (LODLAM http://summit2015.lodlam.net/ ). The conference will give visitors a truly Australian experience. Sydney is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a meeting place for the Asia-Pacific region, with iconic architectural landmarks such as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, in a stunning natural harbour setting. The World Heritage listed Blue Mountains are within easy reach of Sydney. July is the perfect time for an Australian adventure, using Sydney as your base. Explore the Great Barrier Reef, the vast interior and Uluru, the tropical rainforests of the Daintree or the famous islands and beaches of northern and southern Australia. The University of Western Sydney has been named one of the world’s best 100 universities under the age of 50, by the Times Higher Education rankings. It is a national leader in the development of digital humanities, with Australia’s first Chair in Digital Humanities. The main conference program will take place on the historic Parramatta campus, in the multicultural heart of Western Sydney. Parramatta is connected to central Sydney via train, bus and ferry services that ply the Sydney harbour. It was the first inland European settlement in Australia, founded the same year as Sydney in 1788. Aboriginal clans have occupied this area for more than 40,000 years. The conference will also feature a lecture at the State Library of New South Wales, which has exceptionally rich collections of Australian literature and manuscript material relating to Australia, and major digitisation programs. Professor Paul Arthur Convenor Accepted poster and oral presenters must be registered to be confirmed for the conference.

Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop (DLfM 2015), Knoxville, TN, June 2015 3rd Call for Papers 2nd International Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop (DLfM 2015) 25th June 2015 (full day), Knoxville, TN, USA co-hosted with the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2015 Workshop website http://www.transforming-musicology.org/dlfm2015/ NEWS Deadline for final papers extended to Sunday 26th April; however draft papers (at least title, authors, and abstract) must be submitted to EasyChair by Wednesday 22nd April. BACKGROUND Many Digital Libraries have long offered facilities to provide multimedia content, including music. However there is now an ever more urgent need to specifically support the distinct multiple forms of music, the links between them, and the surrounding scholarly context, as required by the transformed and extended methods being applied to musicology and the wider Digital Humanities. The Digital Libraries for Musicology (DLfM) workshop presents a venue specifically for those working on, and with, Digital Library systems and content in the domain of music and musicology. This includes Music Digital Library systems, their application and use in musicology, technologies for enhanced access and organisation of musics in Digital Libraries, bibliographic and metadata for music, intersections with music Linked Data, and the challenges of working with the multiple representations of music across large-scale digital collections such as the Internet Archive and HathiTrust. IMPORTANT DATES Final paper submission deadline: 26th April 2015 (23:59 UTC-11) Draft paper submission deadline: 22nd April 2015 (23:59 UTC-11) Notification of acceptance: 22nd May 2015 Registration deadline for one author per paper: To be confirmed Camera ready submission deadline: 1st June 2015 (14:00 UTC) WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES DLfM will focus on the implications of music on Digital Libraries and Digital Libraries research when pushing the boundaries of contemporary musicology, including the application of techniques as reported in more technologically oriented fora such as ISMIR and ICMC. This will be the second edition of DLfM following a very successful and well received workshop at Digital Libraries 2014, giving an opportunity for the community to present and discuss developments in the last year that tackle the agenda that emerged in London. In particular we encourage participants to consider the theme of the main conference - "Large, Dynamic and Ubiquitous" - and how this properties are reflected in Music Digital Libraries and their application to musicology. The workshop objectives are: - to act as a forum for reporting, presenting, and evaluating this work and disseminating new approaches to advance the discipline; - to create a venue for critically and constructively evaluating and verifying the operation of Music Digital Libraries and the applications and findings that flow from them; - to consider the suitability of existing Music Digital Libraries, particularly in light of the transformative methods and applications emerging from musicology and "Large, Dynamic, and Ubiquitous" collections of both audio and music related data; - to set the agenda for work in the field to address these new challenges and opportunities. TOPICS Topics of interest for the workshop include but are not limited to: - Music Digital Libraries. - Digital Libraries in consideration of "Large, Dynamic and Ubiquitous" collections of audio and music related data. - Techniques for locating and accessing music in Very Large Digital Libraries (e.g. HathiTrust, Internet Archive). - Music data representations, including manuscripts/scores and audio - Interfaces and access mechanisms for Music Digital Libraries. - Digital Libraries in support of musicology and other scholarly study; novel requirements and methodologies therein. - Digital Libraries for combination of resources in support of musicology (e.g. combining audio, scores, bibliographic, geographic, ethnomusicology, performance, etc.) - User information needs and behaviour for Music Digital Libraries. Identification/location of music (in all forms) in generic Digital Libraries. - Mechanisms for combining multi-form music content within and between Digital Libraries and other digital resources. - Information literacies for Music Digital Libraries. - Metadata and metadata schemas for music. - Application of Linked Data and Semantic Web techniques to Music Digital Libraries, and for their access and organisation. - Optical Music Recognition. - Ontologies and categorisation of musics and music artefacts. SUBMISSIONS We invite full papers (up to 8 pages) or short and position papers (up to 4 pages). Papers will be peer reviewed by 2-3 members of the programme committee. Please produce your paper using the ACM template and submit it in draft to DLfM on EasyChair by 22nd April 2015 and the final version before 26th April 2015 (see IMPORTANT DATES above).

It serves as a resource and catalyst among digital library developers, project managers, and all who are invested in digital library issues. The 2015 DLF Forum will be held in Vancouver, BC, October 26-28. We are currently seeking proposals for the 2015 DLF Forum program. The Program Planning Committee requests proposals within the broad framework of digital collections, infrastructure, resources, and organizational priorities. You do not need to be part of a member organization in order to submit a proposal. The Forum traditionally has no overarching theme so that we can craft a program that speaks to current issues of interest to our community. We depend on contributors to focus proposals on action-oriented topics targeted towards a practitioner audience, considering the aspects of design, management, implementation, assessment, and collaboration. Suggested topical areas for 2015 include: * Linked data implementations * Collaborative digital projects across GLAM institutions * Innovative approaches to engaging users and reusing data and collections (e.g., data visualization, mapping, crowdsourcing, citizen science) * Systems architecture, both hardware and code * Open data, open access, or open educational resources This is not a prescriptive list; we encourage you to be creative, collaborative, and collegial. Proposals are due June 22.

Call for papers The DiXiT project http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/ is an Initial Training Network funded under the European Commission’s Marie-Curie scheme. In the project a number of high-profile European universities and research institutions work together in training a new generation of digital scholarly editors. The Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands is organizing the first of DiXiT’s three conventions, September 16-18 2015 in The Hague, the Netherlands. The convention will be an informal meeting where the DiXiT research fellows will present their first results in interactive sessions. We anticipate a lively get-together bristling with new ideas, and we hope that many of those working in the field of scholarly editing and digital humanities will gather here. In order to broaden the scope and diversity of the meeting, the convention organisers are issuing this call. While the focus of the convention is on technology, software and standards, topics for the sessions may include anything related to scholarly digital editing, such as: - tools for editing, collation, publication - text markup: application, development, advantages, disadvantages - sustainability and preservation of editions: economic and technical - editing as a social endeavour: crowd-sourcing, social editions and other forms of collaboration - the role of the editor in digital editing - and others We encourage exploratory papers. Early-career scholars are welcome. We ask those interested in presenting a twenty-minute paper to mail their proposal to congres@huygens.knaw.nl. The proposal should include: - name and email of the presenter - title of paper - abstract (ca. 400 words). Dates: - call for papers April 21, 2015 - *proposals due May 21, 2015* - decision about acceptance June 7, 2015 - meeting: September 14-18, 2015 Keynotes will be given by Leo Jansen, editor of the acclaimed edition of Van Gogh’s letters http://vangoghletters.org/ , Laurent Romary , director of DARIAH http://dariah.eu/ , and Lorna Hughes , chair in digital humanities at the University of London’s School of Advanced Study (SAS). The meeting is preceded by two parallel workshops on September 15: Net 7 http://www.netseven.it/en (Italy) runs a workshop about semantic enrichment of digital library content; Huygens ING runs a workshop on TEI and neighbouring standards.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 15:32:53 +0200 From: John Levin Subject: Content Mine launches Dear Humanists, The Content Mine has launched: contentmine.org @TheContentMine For a good intro to it: http://blogs.ch.cam.ac.uk/pmr/2015/04/16/thecontentmine-is-ready-for-business-and-will-make-scientific-and-medical-facts-available-to-everyone-on-a-massive-scale/ As stated in title of that post, the aim is to make "scientific and medical facts available to everyone on a massive scale." This will be done through automated text mining of scientific literature for facts, and then connecting and organizing these facts. The obvious question is: (how) can this relate to the humanities? The political aspect, that the right to read is the right to mine, is obviously a very welcome point of concurrence for both STEM and humanities, as is the stress on open source and open access, i.e. general access to the tools and the data. The investigative aspect is another matter. Of course, there is numerical data in, for example, history journals; this can be extracted, and perhaps related where there are common dimensions (time, place, metric). But beyond that I'm not sure.* Thoughts? *(I may well be guilty of wanting to play with the shiny new toy.)

Details below. Best Regards, Paolo Politics of Big Data King’s College London, Strand Campus, May 8th 2015 “Big Data” is a contested term describing the increasing pervasiveness of data generation, gathering and mining in our society. The unprecedented market success Facebook, Google, and related digital, media, and marketing corporations is predicated on Big Data. Furthermore, as demonstrated by the Snowden revelations on the NSA and GCHQ, Big Data also provides new means for mass surveillance. Yet, this is not the whole story. Data is a site of political struggle. Beyond its value to state and capital, Big Data affords myriad opportunities for new forms of creative and political engagement. Open data initiatives, information leaks, and data-driven cultural projects are but early steps toward more democratic uses of the data we generate in our everyday lives. This conference will explore the contested and multifaceted nature of the politics of Big Data, covering both critiques of existing data-driven power dynamics as well as possible alternatives.

This is our current call for papers: http://www.fufufo.com/submit-june-14/ Issue #2 -- RHYTHMS Call for Projects: Fungiculture http://www.fufufo.com/ is a psychedelic journal for cultural studies; a space for the experimental spread and cultivation of ideas and practices. Our second issue will explore rhythms. We welcome projects that examine, both in form and content, the cadences at work in time, sleep, love, mathematics, sense, sex, memory, war, and other realms. We are interested in the way rhythms act between instants as generative forces, cutting across temporalities and subjectivities. How does rhythm structure and deconstruct experience and materials? Submissions may engage with, but are not limited to, discourses surrounding media studies, radical politics, aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, queer and affect theory. We welcome experimental, collaborative and traditional academic writing. The selected projects will be published on the Fungiculture online platform and distributed as a PDF. ________________________________ Instructions: We welcome paper and project proposals of all varieties. Mixed-media and non-textual projects are encouraged, but we will primarily publish textual works, which can be both traditional academic papers and experimental writing pieces. See Issue #1 http://www.fufufo.com/ for examples. Published text pieces will be expected to be around 5,000 words in length. To submit, please send an abstract (not exceeding 500 words) to hello@fufufo.com by June 14th 2015. Please include relevant images and sound samples, if applicable, and the authors' CVs or a description of relevant previous experience. Keep in mind that abstracts must explain not just the topic of interest but also the form and technical requirements of your proposed project. -- Rebecca Stuhr Coordinator for Humanities Collections Librarian for History and Classical Studies 216 Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center 3420 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19104-6206 215-898-5999 _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 2CEDE61CB; Sun, 26 Apr 2015 09:51:24 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 35C046188; Sun, 26 Apr 2015 09:51:23 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CFBE76183; Sun, 26 Apr 2015 09:51:20 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150426075120.CFBE76183@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2015 09:51:20 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.913 more than robot?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 26 Apr 2015 07:42:29 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: more than a robot? In 1941 the American engineer Harold Hazen (student of Vannevar Bush in the 1930s) wrote an influential memo to Warren Weaver, "Theory of Servomechanisms", in which he sketched the relation between humans and automatic control systems. The significance of this memo for the history of control engineering and cybernetics, and so for the computing we have inherited, is explained by David Mindell in DesignIssues 29.1 (2013): 30-37, which reprints Hazen's text. But here allow me to focus on a point Hazen makes at the end of it. After describing the human-machine link in these systems he writes, > This whole point of view of course makes the human being in this > capacity nothing more nor less than a robot which, as a matter of > fact, is exactly what he is or should be. But he then goes on to point out that unlike the automatic systems then in existence, the human operator (whom he, in the midst of World War II, is considering as a tracker of a fast-moving aircraft in a fire-control system), > can determine from the orientation of a moving object something of > its expected acceleration which may help him in anticipating its > future movement. Furthermore, he is endowed with a memory that should > permit him to extrapolate from the past history into the future, a > feature that is not possessed by any of the simpler mechanisms we > have present. He then concludes that, > we can expect to do rational design leading to best over-all > performance only if we know the fundamental dynamic characteristics > of the human links and incorporate these into our designs as we have > found we must include all of the dynamic characteristics of component > parts in the successful design of mechanical automatic control > systems. Yes, of course, most of us don't react particularly well when confronted with the idea of a human as robot, "which, as a matter of fact, is exactly what he is or should be" under the circumstances Hazen describes. But note the greater-than-machine and where it fits into the process of research design, which is exactly Hazen's point. Are we not (changing what needs to be changed) involved in the same process? Should not all our energies be focused on that greater-than-machine, attempting to implement it so that another greater-than can be illumined? Comments?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2015 21:56:34 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: continuities & universalities It is, it seems, inevitable that we approach the subjects we study with pendulum-like variation from an exclusive focus on discontinuities and local variations to the opposite, on continua and universals. A concentration on one brings the other eventually to the fore. The history of the history and philosophy of science in the last century, for example, swung from the universalism of The Scientific Method and efforts toward a unified science on the one hand to the diversity of methods, or no method at all, disunity of the emphatically pluralized sciences and "local theory" (Peter Galison's phrase). But at its height seeing diversity everywhere has provoked protest. Jed Buchwald and Allan Franklin have taken specific aim at "the tendency to regard science as purely local and contextual" in their introduction to Wrong for the Right Reasons (Springer, 2005). Closer to home Evelyn Fox Keller has taken issue with disunity in Peter Galison's and David Stump's The Disunity of Science (1996), where she begins with objections to "much in contemporary postmodern discourse, with its insistent emphasis on ruptures, fractures, and disunities" in order to discuss illuminating continuities that, among other things, remind us "of the power of cumulative amnesia" to erase history. This amnesia is greatly fuelled by the dominant rhetoric of technological progress and its constant companion, technological determinism, which hand in hand obliterate history and have us forever thinking we're just now on the verge or on the brink, depending on the mood of the moment, for the very first time. I've been reminded again of the need for continuities to counter this amnesia by Emmanuel G. Mesthene's little book, Technological Change: Its Impact on Man and Society (New York: New American Library, 1970). Mesthene, by the way, was Director of the Harvard Program on Technology and Society, established in 1964 with a grant from IBM "to undertake an inquiry in depth into the effects of technological change" (p. 91). Mesthene and his Program was responsible for many publications, e.g. "How technology will shape the future", Science NS 161.3837 (1968): 135-43. There are signs of age throughout his book, as the title already signals by the use of "Man". But there's much that has not changed. The back cover of this deteriorating paperback, printed on paper made from wood-pulp, informs us of the then popular reaction to technological change: > TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE IS: > (1) GOOD > (2) EVIL > (3) OVERRATED (Note how easily these three alternatives are translated into 21st Century terms.) "The truth, however, is far more complex than any of these points of view suggests", Mesthene goes on to inform us. And we still need to be told that. > As this penetrating study points out, the accelerating rate of > technological change is outstripping traditional categories of > thought in the same way that it is rendering obsolete many > established institutions and values of society. What the author has > brilliantly set out to do is outline the full dimensions of the vast > upheaval around us, clearly defining both its positive and negative > aspects and cogently arguing for a response that will make man master > rather than slave of his own inventions. The result is a volume that > offers us remarkably stimulating new perspectives on a problem that > can be ignored only at our gravest peril. This was written in the U.S. at the height of the Cold War, so perhaps the sense of urgency dates and localizes it as well. But again, what impresses me are the continuities. It is for this reason that I am deeply suspicious of all the post-isms by which we are currently afflicted. Comments?

Ess" Subject: Re: 28.913 more than robot? In-Reply-To: <20150426075120.CFBE76183@digitalhumanities.org> Funny you should mention ... I've had a long-standing interest in these matters since the 1960s, and have pursued them in conjunction with the "computational turn" as it was called in the States, starting in the 1970s, which conjoined philosophical analysis and reflection with emerging developments in computer science, computation, AI, etc. For the past three years or so I have focused more specifically on social robots - including co-editing a special issue of the International Journal of Social Robotics that will come out shortly. Most recently, I've put together a paper that summarizes a good dose of the contemporary findings and states of the arts regarding the strengths and limits of computation, including AI, and social-robotic specific work on such things as artificial emotion and embodiment. _Contra_ the strong optimism surrounding what is now called Good Old Fashioned AI (GOFAI) in the 1970s-1990s, there seems to consensus in at least many philosophical quarters that a number of aspects of being human remain computationally intractable, and may well remain so for decades, if not centuries to come (Ray Kurzweil is obviously not in this camp: no comment). These include: reflective self awareness as a genuinely autonomous being; specific forms of judgment and reasoning critical to ethical reflection and decision-making, including _phronesis_ and analogical reasoning (especially necessary for casuistic approaches to ethics, for example); and emotional self-awareness, which has emerged over the past couple of decades as being necessary for ethical decision-making processes in humans. Some of these can be "punted" one way or another - approximated in varying degrees, so that, e.g., John Sullins speaks of "artificial autonomy," artificial ethical agency, and artificial phronesis to demarcate what is possible for machines as limited in comparison with their human counterparts. A key problem, however, is implementing emotional self-awareness - "artificial emotion" is rather the project of faking the expression of emotion with sufficient sophistication as to trigger human belief and anthropomorphic responses. This can be quite useful, e.g., in robots designedj for elder care, autism spectrum disorders, etc. But implementing something close to a human sense of emotional self-awareness as an embodied being seems so intractable that there is apparently little effort still focused on it. In these lights, I and Sullins have argued - e.g., against Levy's optimism regarding robots as lovers - that specific forms of human love will likewise remain computationally intractable: what Plato accounted for in terms of _eros_ - and what feminist-phenomenological Sara Ruddick describes as "complete sex". The latter requires, among other conditions, the emotional awareness of desire - not simply for the Other (as an autonomy and as an equal), but rather a mutuality of desire, including the desire that my desire (for the Other) be desired (by the Other). What is also helpful, in my view, with these accounts is that they further link to virtue ethics - specificaly, our having to acquire and practice virtues requisite to friendship and love, including e.g. patience, perseverance, empathy, respect for persons as equals, and loving itself as a virtue. A first upshot of this analysis is that social robots, whatever other strengths and capacities they may develop and benefit us with, will remain incapable of emotional self-awareness as an embodied being that includes genuine sexual desire within erotic relationships. But a second upshot of this analysis is that if human beings are to be/become distinguishable from social robots in general and sexbots in particular - we in turn are enjoined to acquire and practice the virtues that make us better friends and lovers. The paper will appear this year in an anthology from Ashgate, edited by Marko Nørskov (Aarhus University), titled _Social Robots: Boundaries, Potential, Challenges_. If anyone's interested, I can share a pre-publication version for scholarly / fair use work.

Here are some thoughts and I would delight in hearing your responses and the thoughts of others. Permit me to take one of your points here for a text I have not yet read: >> What the author has >> brilliantly set out to do is outline the full dimensions of the vast >> upheaval around us, clearly defining both its positive and negative >> aspects and cogently arguing for a response that will make man master >> rather than slave of his own inventions. As someone who dabbles in the disciplines that are inside of the technology all-in-one buzzword (mathematics, science, and engineering), I find myself wondering why we try to separate human from machine, when it seems that when we picked up a stick to beat the bushes, we became one with technology, with the machine, and became natural parts of it. This is not recent, nor shocking. We've been integral part of machines in the abstract information sense (e.g., clan rituals, government, social organizations) for millennia. I read recently that evidence of the first ritual (a type of machine) dates to 70,000 years ago. In some recent emails in my organization, I have discovered that some imagine that there is a thing called technology which is something outside of them, but nothing could be more mistaken. As soon as you flip a light switch, or use a computer program, not only does your thinking change, your epistemology fundamentally changes whether or not you like it. Perhaps this is why children are so adept at adopting new modes of thinking as a result of technology? Their thinking has changed. They think and operate differently. Is this a bad thing? This is where we study value systems and how each discipline deals with the situation. But are there those that labor on the idea that their thought processes are immune from the stick used to beat the bushes, or the word processor used to write email responses? How can one logically externalize "machine" when the biochemical processes that operate inside of us have most of the characteristics necessary to define a machine. If you and others can direct me to books that discuss this issue in depth, I would appreciate it. Specifically, I am interested in any authors whose point is that we are naturally machines, and parts of machines. I know I can return to Descartes but I am seeking more recent humanities-situated scholarship on our inherently (and naturally) cyborg nature. -paul On Apr 26, 2015, at 2:56 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 914. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2015 21:56:34 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: continuities & universalities > > > It is, it seems, inevitable that we approach the subjects we study with > pendulum-like variation from an exclusive focus on discontinuities and > local variations to the opposite, on continua and universals.

By bringing together legal and art history academics, it will establish a new network of scholars from a variety of disciplines—art, history, law, anthropology—interested in the intersection of images and law. The last decade has seen much research into the intersection of the visual and the legal, yet the impact on the practice of contemporary legal scholarship has been limited, and there is little methodological reflection on the roles that images and imagery have played in scholarship about law. For the first time in the UK, this workshop will explore these issues with legal scholars, art historians, art theorists, visual epistemologists, anthropologists, and explore future avenues of research.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2015 06:58:01 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: robot-speculating and boundary-drawing A brief response to Charles Ess and Paul Fishwick in Humanist 28.916. From an historical point of view what's so interesting to me about the question of convergence between robotics and human abilities is the fact that we continue to talk about it, make movies about it (e.g. Ex Machina), to draw boundaries, sort what will, what definitely won't, what might cross whatever boundary we've just drawn. I say "drawn" and point to "boundary" in the conviction that the former is a human act and the latter its result. Of course some things are very unlikely to happen, some things impossible (I jump to the moon or to the roof of my house, or these days onto a chair, unaided), but for me the question to ask is not how to sort possibilities from impossibilities but why we're drawing these boundaries or denying them, what language we're using and what drawing boundaries does for us or to us. This is not about predicting the future (a mug's game always) but about seeing the present as clearly as we can. Some outcomes are realised but in a sense quite different than what was intended. We might say, "Human beings will never be able to do X", and then what we mean by "human" changes once again, as it has been doing for a very long time. With a view to what's happening in biology these days Evelyn Fox Keller writes somewhere that perhaps (caution is wise) the question of whether a particular artificial construct is alive is an historical rather than a philosophical question. I remain convinced that in computing, in the attempt to resolve the difference between e.g. expressions of love in a text we're reading and metatextual tags we insert to render that expression computationally tractable, we face precisely the dilemma under discussion here. The chill (or thrill?) that the empathic reader-lover feels, and the frustration, is our digital gold mine. ?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2015 00:53:57 +0000 From: Michael Ullyot Subject: A listserv inquiry into the Sublime Dear colleagues: I came across Elizabeth A. Kessler’s work recently, thanks to the “On the Media” podcast, and it has me thinking about the concept of the sublime applied to quasi-human formulations. (The book is Picturing the Cosmos: Hubble Space Telescope Images and the Astronomical Sublime.) The cosmos is a natural phenomenon, I know — but the Hubble images seem to be on the verge of human creations, because astronomers add colour and so on for different gases. My question is whether the sublime has ever been used to describe human-created phenomena or artifacts. Particularly textual ones. For instance, has anyone described a vast library inspiring the same feelings of awe and apprehension that the sublime provokes? The only examples I can think of are architectural. The association with Hubble owes, naturally, to Willard McCarty’s apt description of text-analysis tools as “telescopes for the mind." yours Michael =-=-=-=-=- Michael Ullyot Associate Professor, Department of English :: Associate Dean (Teaching + Learning), Faculty of Arts, University of Calgary :: PI, Augmented Criticism Lab :: Blog :: Twitter Follow the Email Charter _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id F017C621F; Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:58:00 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EA5C161D4; Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:57:59 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2D0DB614F; Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:57:56 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150428065757.2D0DB614F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2015 08:57:56 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.921 Autodesk Post-Editing Data Corpus X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150428065800.19290.21855@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 921.

Do you struggle with transformations from TEI to publication formats? Are you interested in how TEI Simple can help you process your documents and document your publishing choices? Come and learn how to apply the TEI Simple processing model to your data under the guidance of TEI SIMPLE experts. Check if you can achieve your publishing goals within a TEI Simple infrastructure. We will give a basic introduction to the rationale behind TEI Simple and the tools that have been developed, and then spend the rest of the day working through participant’s material and texts from TEI Simple reference corpora. The goal of the workshop is to test the TEI Simple framework on real life projects and with real editors, assessing not only whether it is complete and powerful enough, but also how easy it is to use for editors and developers working with TEI documents. Tutors Sebastian Rahtz, Magdalena Turska, IT Services, University of Oxford Pip Willcox, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford Mathias Göbel, Universität Göttingen For more information on TEI Simple project see: https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple Admission There is no charge for those attending this day-long workshop. This unconference-style workshop is open to editors and developers. You will be expected to bring your own material and have certain vision how you’d imagine it published. We ask each participant to investigate local funding sources to help cover the costs of travel and accommodation, but if all else fails, do contact workshop organizers (magdalena.turska@it.ox.ac.uk) and we’ll try to find a solution. To register for the workshop you must first submit a brief application through http://goo.gl/0inlRT. You'll be notified by May 10 (if not before) of your acceptance for the workshop.

Death was formerly a simple state, and a single event determined by external observation; now we have various forms of death, and in many cases the process of dying, the boundary of life, is extended by medical technology. This has happened incrementally, largely without objection and indeed without much debate when compared to the debates about robotics and AI. I have, not entirely in jest, remarked to colleagues here that now that we have Digital Humanities programme, we need to start planning for a Cybernetic Humanities programme, to be followed by a Bionic Humanities programme and an Artificial Humanities programme - for which research grants will be written and evaluated by AI in nanoseconds Mike Cosgrave --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2015 09:14:48 -0400 From: Matthew Battles Subject: Re: 28.920 artificial Sublime? In-Reply-To: <20150428065727.D2CE8612A@digitalhumanities.org> Michael—I think right away of the Léon Bloy of Borges, who writes that "[t]he terrifying immensity of the firmament's abyss is an illusion, an external reflection of our own abysses, perceived 'in a mirror.' We should invert our eyes and practice a sublime astronomy in the infinitude of our hearts, for which God was willing to die...If we see the Milky Way, it is because it actually exists in our souls." The Library of Babel seems at least the most obvious if not the best example of a vision of an artificial sublime (although Borges imagines it as, if not natural, at least existing *a priori*). Hannah Arendt, too, comes close to sublime territory in her approach to the horror vacui of the "Archimedean Point" promised by the space race. Closer to the your intent, I think, we could look to Leo Marx's *Machine in the Garden* and David Nye's *American Technological Sublime* for starting points. You've made me eager to have a look at the Kessler book!

The draft of these guidelines has now been published for open public comment. We are publishing this draft on the web to obtain broad feedback from across the historical discipline and the digital humanities. This is not the final version. We will be putting together a final draft for approval by the AHA’s Council in the second half of May based upon the comments we receive over the coming weeks.

The aim of this workshop is to establish data literacy as a topic of academic study. To this end we invite submissions of papers on the following topics: What do we mean by data literacy? Is there one kind of data literacy or many? What skills, knowledge and attitudes does it include? How does it relate to other types of literacy (digital, numerical, statistical and linguistic)? Why do we need data literacy? What are the social, political, economic, technical issues it can address? How should data literacy be achieved? Is it best done through education, training, or behaviour change. What tools and support are required for data literacy? What are the broader political, social and philosophical implications of data literacy? For example: · Should technology be driving such fundamental skills? · How does this compare to other technologies such as the printing press that have created a need for new “literacies”? · Does data literacy compound the digital divide at another level? · Can it lead to open data having a more visible impact? Who should be data literate? Should everyone become a data specialist by learning how to deal with raw data, or we assume that we need specialists in order to “translate” data to the society? What are the practical implications of data literacy? What should private and public sector organisations do about data literacy? How should data literacy participate in education and research? Submissions can be of two types: · Completed long papers (8-10pp) · Short papers experience related, position papers, research in progress (3-5pp) In either case we encourage linking to other media such as video clips or software. All accepted papers will be published on the workshop website. This will be done several days before the workshop in order to facilitate discussion in the plenary section of the workshop. The organizing committee will select the best papers to be presented at the workshop on the 30th of June. If papers reach the required standard but the authors are unable to attend the workshop, they will also be published. Selection criteria for papers The selection criteria are adapted from the Springer LNCS. · Be in English · Fit with the workshop theme. · Have a clear motivation (why the problem is interesting theoretically and/or practically). · Conceptual development and grounding in prior literature (given the nascent nature of the topic it is not expected that the prior literature is about data literacy) · Methodological adequacy (if relevant). · Adequate list of references to related work and grounding theories. · Interesting findings. · Well-structured and clearly written paper. · Maximum length of paper: 10 pages for full papers, 5 pages for short papers. · Conform to Web Sci 2015 rules for formatting. Papers will be subjected to double blind review by 2 reviewers for rigor, relevance, originality and clarity of presentation and then the accepted papers will be chosen by the organising committee based on the reviewers’ assessment. Submission Process and Dates All deadlines are midnight UK time on the date specified. · Papers submitted by: 17th May · Notification to authors: 26th May · Workshop: 30th June Papers should be anonymised, i.e. all information identifying the authors removed, and submitted via Easychair. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.2 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00,THIS_AD, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=no version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 43A716340; Thu, 30 Apr 2015 08:01:04 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0FB4B62A7; Thu, 30 Apr 2015 08:01:03 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B6C3062B5; Thu, 30 Apr 2015 08:00:59 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150430060059.B6C3062B5@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 08:00:59 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.926 postdoc at Oklahoma; deputy directorship at CUNY X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150430060103.7232.94431@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 926.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 13:15:22 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: senior lecture in digital cultures Senior Lecturer in Digital Cultures King's College London http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/AKZ294/senior-lecturer-in-digital-cultures/ The post is part of an ambitious and successful project of interaction and exchange of research and teaching across the Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries and the Department of Digital Humanities. CMCI and DH are now seeking to recruit a Senior Lecturer to commence work for no later than September 2015. The post will play a key role in leading work across the departments, in particular to resource new and developing research strengths evident from our joint 2014 REF submission and to build on the work of the current three joint appointments. The post-holder will contribute to the continuing success of the MA Digital Culture and Society, and will join the team teaching on and further developing the BA Digital Cultures. The successful candidate will undertake research, teaching and administration as directed by the Head of Department for Culture, Media and Creative Industries, the Head of Digital Humanities and the Dean of Faculty for Arts and Humanities. They will be an internationally excellent academic in the area of digital cultures and will have strong record of publications with the potential for impact and research income generation. They will have a clear plan for building research in digital cultures for the future and the next REF. They will be expected to foster existing and develop new connections with practitioners in the digital industries (in the UK and ideally overseas) and will be open to developing links with colleagues in other departments, and at other universities internationally. They will be expected to enhance the capacity of the Department to develop successful bids for research grant applications, and obtain funding from third sector source They will be required to take on administrative and leadership roles in either Department (although not at the same time) including in the future where required fixed term roles such as Head of Department, Research Director, Department Education Lead, and PhD Director, as well as playing an active role at School level on key committees and in key leadership roles. They will be involved in departmental level strategic planning in areas such as the balance of student recruitment, staff appointments and student and other performance matters. They will be expected to develop internal networks e.g. chairing and participating in institutional committees; as well as external networks that foster collaboration e.g. with external examiners and assessors, other educational bodies, employers and professional bodies. They will be proficient in making presentations or exhibitions at national or international conferences or other similar events in the cultural and creative industries. They will be able to contribute to the management of teaching and research quality, audit and other external assessments.

As some of you know one of the aims of this conference is to stimulate discussion and collaboration between historians, philosophers and computer scientists and it is thus a great opportunity to reflect further on our role as historians in the academic world and beyond, my best wishes, Liesbeth --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second Call For Papers HaPoC 3: Third International Conference for the History and Philosophy of Computing 8 -- 11 October, 2015, Pisa hapoc2015.di.unipi.it --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The DHST commission for the history and philosophy of computing (www.hapoc.org) is happy to announce the third HAPOC conference. The series aims at creating an interdisciplinary focus on computing, stimulating a dialogue between the historical and philosophical viewpoints. To this end, the conference hopes to bring together researchers interested in the historical developments of computing, as well as those reflecting on the sociological and philosophical issues springing from the rise and ubiquity of computing machines in the contemporary landscape. In the past editions, the conference has successfully presented a variety of voices, contributing to the creation of a fruitful dialogue between researchers with different backgrounds and sensibilities. For HaPoC 2015 we welcome contributions from historians and philosophers of computing as well as from philosophically aware computer scientists and mathematicians. Topics include but are not limited to • History and Philosophy of Computation (interpretation of the Church-Turing thesis; models of computation; logical/mathematical foundations of computer science; information theory...) • History and Philosophy of Programming (classes of programming languages; philosophical status of programming...) • History and Philosophy of the Computer (from calculating machines to the future of the computer; user interfaces; abstract architectures...) • History and Epistemology of the use of Computing in the sciences (simulation vs. modelisation; computer-assisted proofs; linguistics...) • Computing and the Arts: historical and conceptual issues (temporality in digital art; narration in interactive art work...) • Social, ethical and pedagogical aspects of Computing (pedagogy of computer science; algorithms and copyright; Internet, culture, society...) Our invited speakers are Nicola Angius (Università di Sassari, IT), Lenore Blum (Carnagie Mellon University, USA), David Alan Grier (IEEE & George Washington University, USA), Furio Honsell (Università di Udine, IT), Pierre Mounier-Kuhn (CNRS & Université Paris-Sorbonne, F), and Franck Varenne (Université de Rouen, F). We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the topics of the conference to submit a short abstract of approximately 200 words and an extended abstract of at most a 1000 words (references included) to www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapoc2015 Abstracts must be written in English and anonymised. Please note that the format of uploaded files must be either .pdf or .doc. In order to access the submission page, an EasyChair account will be required. Please notice that what is called “abstract” in the EasyChair “Title, Abstract and Other Information” section corresponds to the short abstract of this call, and what is called “paper” in the EasyChair “Upload Paper” section corresponds to the extended abstract of this call. Please check out the website of HaPoC 2015 for more information on the conference at http://hapoc2015.sciencesconf.org A post-proceedings volume is going to appear in the IFIP Advances in Information and Communication Technology series, published by Springer. IMPORTANT DATES: Submission deadline: June 19, 2015 Notification of acceptance: July 19, 2015 The 2015 conference is located in Pisa, the cradle of Italian computer science: here the first Italian computers were designed in the mid-Fifties and the first Master course in informatics was established in 1969. The Museum of Computing Machinery, part of the University of Pisa, shows some artefacts from the early days of Italian CS, as well a selection of personal computing machines. Besides its artistic attractions, among them the world-famous leaning tower, during the days of the conference Pisa will host the Internet Festival, devoted to all the aspects of the net (www.internetfestival.it) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 4BA8B663C; Sun, 3 May 2015 09:17:40 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F055A6639; Sun, 3 May 2015 09:17:38 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7E1EA6634; Sun, 3 May 2015 09:17:35 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150503071735.7E1EA6634@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 3 May 2015 09:17:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.931 postdocs in machine translation at Dublin City X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150503071739.22759.64682@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 931.

Dear Digital Humanists, It is a pleasure for us to announce that the DayofDH 2015 website has just been opened! we invite you to visit it at http://dayofdh2015.uned.es, to join our community and to spread this message across mailing lists, social networks and other channels in order to reach the maximum number of Digital Humanists! Our purpose is to answer the question: What do digital humanists do? and see which the panorama in 2015 is. The “Day” or official closing date to add content to the website and blogs is May 19th. This year we offer two novelties: DayofDH is hosted for the first time outside North America, in Madrid by LINHD (Digital Humanities Innovation Lab @UNED), and, for that reason, we have tried to organize a “bilingual” DayofDH and to offer both an English and a Spanish version of the contents of our website. We encourage you to translate your posts and to help others translating! Also, parallel activities will be developed in the different countries to “celebrate” the Day. Editathons, thatcamps and crowdsourcing events will be planned and announced via this web! And last but not least… ENJOY THE DAY!!!

Rather than teaching everything there is to know about algorithms, the Hackathon will assist participants with their specific data-related problem, so that they can take away the knowledge needed to tackle the issue(s) at hand. The focus of this Hackathon is automatic text re-use detection and aims at engaging participants in intensive collaboration. Participants will be introduced to technologies representing the state of the art in the field and shown the potential of text re-use detection. Participants will also be able to equip themselves with the necessary knowledge to make sense of the output generated by algorithms detecting text re-use, and will gain an understanding of which algorithms best fit certain types of textual data. Finally, participants will be introduced to some text re-use visualisations.

July 30 2015 Beijing China https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2015/ *** Extended paper submission deadline: 17 May 2015 *** ****************************************************************** ** About the Workshop ** The 9th SIGHUM Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities will be held in conjunction with ACL-IJCNLP 2015, in Beijing, China, July 30 2015. The LaTeCH workshop series aims to provide a forum for researchers who are working on developing novel information technology for improved information access to data from the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage. Since the formation of SIGHUM (ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities), the LaTeCH workshop is also the venue for the SIGHUM annual research and business meeting. The workshop is a continuation of LaTeCH 2007 held at ACL, in Prague, Czech Republic, LaTeCH 2008 at LREC, in Marrakech, Morocco, LaTeCH 2009 at EACL, in Athens, Greece, LaTeCH 2010 at ECAI, in Lisbon, Portugal, LaTeCH 2011 at ACL/HLT, in Portland, Oregon, USA, LaTeCH 2012 at EACL, in Avignon, France, LaTeCH 2013 at ACL, in Sofia, Bulgaria and LaTeCH 2014 at EACL in Gothenburg, Sweden. ** Scope and Topics ** In the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage communities there is increasing interest in and demand for NLP methods for semantic annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning, and visualization of both primary and secondary data, which holds even for collections that are primarily non-textual, as text is also the pervasive medium used for metadata. These domains of application entail new challenges for NLP research, such as noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, multilingual parts within one document, lack of digital semantic resources, or resource-intensive approaches that call for (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or, as a last resort, intense manual effort. Digital libraries still lack tools for content analysis; documents are linked mostly through metadata, and deep semantic annotation is missing. For this reason, it is of mutual benefit that NLP experts, data specialists, and digital humanities researchers working in and across these domains get involved in the Computational Linguistics community and present their fundamental or applied research results. This edition of the LaTeCH workshop is looking for, but not limited to, contributions from the following topics: - Adapting NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities domains - Dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language - Linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains - Modelling of information and knowledge - Automatic creation of semantic resources - Automatic error detection and cleaning - Complex annotation tools and interfaces - Discourse and narrative analysis - Research infrastructure and standardisation efforts - Text mining and sentiment analysis - User modeling, recommendation, personalisation ** Information for authors ** Authors are invited to submit papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers presenting completed work, we also invite short papers and system descriptions (demos): - Long papers should present completed work and may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references. - Short papers/demos can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references. All submissions are to use the ACL stylesheets (.sty, .bst, .dot). The reviewing process will be double-blind; the papers should not include the authors’ names and affiliations, or any references to web sites, project names, etc., revealing the authors’ identity. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author’s identity, should be avoided. Authors should not use anonymous citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, via the LaTeCH 2015 submission website at: https://www.softconf.com/acl2015/SIGHUM For more details, please visit: https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2015/ ** Important Dates ** Short & long paper submission deadline: 17 May 2015 (extended) Notification of acceptance: 5 June 2015 Camera-ready papers due: 12 June 2015 LaTeCH workshop: 30 July 2015 [...] --------------------------------------------------------- Kalliopi A.

All are welcome! Best, Aaron ---- MEDIA RES #1: lightning talks by NYC graduate students on DH projects (in English & literary studies) 2:00 - 3:30 pm, Friday, May 8th, 2015 CUNY Graduate Center, Room C415A, New York, NY 10016 NYC has more graduate students executing projects in the digital humanities than perhaps anywhere else in the world. Even so, few venues exist that make visible the diverse set of methods, philosophies, and inquiries that drive this graduate student work in English Studies. Media Res #1 will present a wide array of approaches to theoretically-informed questions through a series of 12 five-minute lightning talks by graduate students doing student-driven digital humanities research in NYC. These talks and the subsequent discussions the talks engender will serve as a useful entry point into DH for students who might otherwise not know where to start. Equally important, Media Res #1 will foster a burgeoning network of graduate student scholars working across academic institutions to collaborate on intellectual inquiry, share knowledge and practical expertise in DH, and inspire confidence and mutual support. This event will conclude with a moderated discussion inviting speakers and audience alike to explore how universities might better support and promote ongoing student-driven DH work. While Media Res #1 highlights student DH projects in English and literature, future Media Res events will explore DH work in different disciplines, formats, and venues. Any questions or suggestions for future Media Res events should be directed to Erin Glass (erin.glass@gmail.com ) or Aaron Plasek (aaronplasek@gmail.com ). --[5]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 2015 00:14:11 +0000 (UTC) From: Elena_González-Blanco Subject: 1st EADH international Day 8th October 2015- Call for participation Dear all, It is apleasure for us to announce that thefirst EADH International Day on the 8th October 2015 at UNED(National University for Distance Education – Open University) Madrid, Spain.

Could you please share the following to help me garner participants from the DH community? Thank you! Kim Martin --------------------------- For the past several years, my research as a PhD student in Library and Information Science has allowed me to delve into the information behavior of practicing historians. I’ve studied their use of technology, of both the physical and digital library, and their communication behavior. I’ve published on their awareness and knowledge of e-books, and am now looking to develop one section of the findings from that paper into my thesis. I am currently seeking practicing historians and history students to complete an online survey that should take about 15 mins. The survey investigates the role that serendipity (or that “A-ha!” moment) plays in historical research. There are four sections to this survey: Section A - the participant’s own research, Section B - the participants' serendipitous experiences with research material, Section C - serendipitous experiences as they occur in the digital information environment, and Section D - demographics. All participants will remain anonymous. You can participate in the survey by clicking here: *http://tinyurl.com/lm47wxo http://tinyurl.com/lm47wxo * Please email any comments or questions to Kim at diggingdh@gmail.com.

The postdoc will collaborate in the new Digital Humanities research group 'QuPiD2: Quality and Perspectives in Deep Data', a project that is part of the Amsterdam Academic Alliance Data Science Program. The Digital Humanities postdoc will be connected to the Network Institute at VU University and with the Center for Digital Humanities at UvA. Project description 80% of digital data is in unstructured textual form. Textual data is rich and complex. Not only does it contain massive amounts of statements but, more importantly, it also reflects our perspective on these statements: our emotions, opinions, the interpersonal, as well as the current social debate. Textual data is therefore not only big but it is also deep, adding a multitude of complexity. This Digital Humanities project will model quality and perspectives in deep data. Together with a group of researchers (1 postdoc, 2 PhD’s) and a committed group of advisers from various disciplines, the postdoc of this project will help to deliver a framework for deep data representation that makes data provenance, quality and perspective explicit in the way such data is described and consumed. In this project, the postdoc will investigate long-term changes of perspectives and perception in cultural texts (fiction, biographies, pedagogical texts, journals, newspapers and encyclopedias), through emotion analysis, topic modeling, and genre analysis. By elaborating on data sets and NLP techniques that have recently been developed in other projects, the postdoc will cluster, classify and interpret different perspectives on topics that feature in currently available machine-readable Dutch texts from 1600-2000.

Ess" Subject: CfP - TRANSOR workshop: The Significance of Simulation - June 18-19, 2015 Dear HUMANISTS, Please distribute the following call to potentially interested participants. Many thanks in advance, - charles ess Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo == Call for Papers: TRANSOR workshop, "The Significance of Simulation" University of Southern Denmark, Kolding Campus. June 18-19, 2015. Sponsored by the Research Network TRANSOR (Transdisciplinary Studies in Social Robotics - ). Keynote Address: John Sullins (Sonoma State University, California), "Building Artificial Phronesis: A New Approach?" (provisional title) Background / rationale As social robots continue their rapid development and deployment, “simulation” has emerged as a key focus in a number of ways. For example, robots are currently incapable of experiencing emotions as conscious and embodied beings: in many examples, however, “artificial emotions” can be emulated and expressed by social robots in diverse ways that suffice to persuade their human interactors that the robot in fact feels a basic emotion such as care. Building in artificial emotions is critical for, e.g., the therapeutic roles of carebots such as Paro; at the same time, however, there are important ethical considerations as to whether or not artificial emotions thereby qualify as an unethical form of simulation or trickery. We invite papers and presentations from any relevant discipline, including philosophy, anthropology, education, linguistics, cognitive science, computer science, and so on that address the workshop theme of “simulation” in conjunction with the design, development, and deployment of social robots. Papers and presentations will be organized as follows: Phronesis and stimulation. Virtue ethics foregrounds phronesis as a reflective form of judgment critical to both ethical decision-making and the larger pursuit of good lives marked by love, friendship, and flourishing. Phronesis, along with analogical reasoning, is argued to be computationally intractable (e.g., Gerdes 2014; Ess 2015). Insofar as this might be true, what strategies might be developed for "œartificial phronesis" (Sullins 2014) and what are broader implications of these for social robots and their interactions with human beings? Kick-off paper/presentation: Charles Ess, â"What'™s Love Got to Do with It? Robots, sexuality, and the arts of being human". "'As-ifâ' and simulation. The Kantian 'as-if' has come to the foreground more and more in recent approaches to social robotics; e.g., Seibt 2014: "œVarieties of the 'œAs if': Five Ways to Simulate an Action". Several studies highlight ways in which humans bond with social robots (Turkle 2010; Dautenhahn 2007; Schärfe et al 2011; Carpenter 2013; Bartneck, 2007). Moreover, In trying to clarify our interactions with social robots, some (e.g. Gunkel 2012; Coeckelbergh 2012) suggests we need to address what is at stake in the relation, per se, rather than framing the discussion around a basic distinction between a person versus a machine. Consequently, it makes good sense to explore, whether, and under which circumstances, human-robot interactions can qualify as instances of social interactions. Kick-off paper/presentation: Anne Gerdes, "Robot Unicorn Attack --“ Does it Make Sense to Ascribe Morality to Robots?" Works in Progress. This will be an open session in which participants will offer relatively brief overviews of their current work, including key difficulties, challenges, and (hoped-for) developments and resolutions. Roundtable discussion: Pressing Directions for Research, Current and Future? Submission requirements, deadlines Abstract of 200-500 words must be received by the workshop co-organizers – Charles Ess, University of Oslo: c.m.ess@media.uio.no Anne Gerdes, University of Southern Denmark: - no later than Monday, May 18, 2015.

Thanks for reading and sharing with interested parties. I'll be happy to answer any questions. Best regards, Magdalena Turska Please forward! ======= Working with TEI Simple and its Processing Model Wednesday, May 27th 2015 9:15-17:30 IT Services, University of Oxford, 13 Banbury Road, OX2 6NN Oxford Do you work with collections of early-modern and modern printed material encoded in TEI or support people who do? Do you struggle with transformations from TEI to publication formats? Are you interested in how TEI Simple can help you process your documents and document your publishing choices? Come and learn how to apply the TEI Simple processing model to your data under the guidance of TEI SIMPLE experts. Check if you can achieve your publishing goals within a TEI Simple infrastructure. We will give a basic introduction to the rationale behind TEI Simple and the tools that have been developed, and then spend the rest of the day working through participant’s material and texts from TEI Simple reference corpora. The goal of the workshop is to test the TEI Simple framework on real life projects and with real editors, assessing not only whether it is complete and powerful enough, but also how easy it is to use for editors and developers working with TEI documents. Tutors Sebastian Rahtz, Magdalena Turska, IT Services, University of Oxford Wolfgang Meier, eXist Joe Wicentowski, U.S. Department of State Pip Willcox, Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford Mathias Göbel, Universität Göttingen For more information on TEI Simple project see: https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple Admission There is no charge for those attending this day-long workshop. This unconference-style workshop is open to editors and developers. You will be expected to bring your own material and have certain vision how you’d imagine it published. We ask each participant to investigate local funding sources to help cover the costs of travel and accommodation, but if all else fails, do contact workshop organizers (magdalena.turska@it.ox.ac.uk) and we'™ll try to find a solution. To register for the workshop you must first submit a brief application through http://goo.gl/0inlRT. You'll be notified by May 10 (if not before) of your acceptance for the workshop. Late applications will be considered if there is space. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 47C186687; Wed, 6 May 2015 07:50:15 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 916E1666B; Wed, 6 May 2015 07:50:14 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BC93E6642; Wed, 6 May 2015 07:50:11 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150506055011.BC93E6642@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 6 May 2015 07:50:11 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 28.939 pubs: quantitative linguistics; glottometrics X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150506055014.16014.88776@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 28, No. 939.
