Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 06 May 2015 09:52:04 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Happy Birthday Humanist! Remembrance of Humanist's past, from 7 May 1987, which I yearly celebrate, was this time triggered by something older. I was looking into the history of our discipline and serendipitously came across a chapter by Joseph Raben, "Content analysis and the study of poetry", in a book on content analysis, The Analysis of Communication Content (1969), ed. Gerbner et al. In it Raben writes as follows: > This chapter, on possible inferences from the content analysis of > poetry, should alert us to the recognition of a reciprocal > relationship: critics and historians of literature may learn from the > content analysts a new and potentially valuable approach to their > subject matter, but an awareness of what this method, as presently > construed, cannot tell us when applied to literary art may broaden > the definition of content and spur us to find new ways of measuring > it. Such an extension is appropriate now, partly because the field is > new and therefore pliable enough to mold, and partly because attempts > are already being made to transfer the techniques evolved for > psychosociological investigations to what (for want of a better term) > we call "creative" writing. Not only must these techniques be greatly > refined before they can be properly used in this new application but > such refinement may also increase their utility in their original > sphere. How widely, I found myself wondering, do we appreciate this form of reprocity? Ambient technological determinism works against it. The idea of impact and the billiard-ball theory of history behind that idea impedes it. Implementation services -- and, of course, the demand to show impact in scholarly work -- opposes any realization of it with institutional force. But here we have Joe Raben 46 years ago pointing to the relationship of reciprocity between the two phenomena named in the title of his journal, Computers and the Humanities. Experience suggests to me that we still struggle to realise it. This is so not only because articulating ideas or forms of research, many of them tacit, is difficult in computational terms. We struggle also, I suspect, because the cycle of reciprocal exchange between the two, as Langdon Winner points out in Autonomous Technology (1977), results in technomorphic humanity as well as anthropomorphic technology. Scary that. Easier just to lie down and be impacted? You may be thinking that this is a strange way to begin a birthday message to Humanist as it enters its 29th year -- even unprecedented, as presenters on the evening news programmes are fond of saying. But, since Joe was in the room when the idea of Humanist began, his disturbing words of alert are especially relevant. Humanist was intended originally to do something about our situation as then institutional, disciplinary pariahs. Now things are different, wonderfully so, but aren't they also the same, or nearly so, as far as Joe's disciplinary reciprocity is concerned? True, the lecture circuit for digital humanities is an information superhighway (to quote a quaint phrase), professorships are being advertised, PhDs being granted in the subject. But how much closer are we to being actively reciprocal in Raben's sense? Much of the reciprocity I suspect is hidden (because never published) in technical practice that surfaces when the demands of research in a humanities discipline run into the primitive state of the technology. The great challenge to the latter leads not only to inventions and clever work-arounds but also to the frustration that could, perhaps sometimes does, provide a glimpse of a better, a different computing. I wonder if the anxiety to prove itself valuable to its institutional betters turns digital humanities aside from such glimpses? Not that they are easy to get. Our pretty much total lack of the means to describe them stands in the way. I know, I use loads of words to say that I have none. :-) Allow me to suggest on this birthday, with Joe's help from long ago, that what matters is not what scholars know that they want or need but what they cannot get and mostly don't pause to investigate. Not reasonable hope but wild, impossible, frustrated desire. Decorously omitted from annual reports and workload models, of course, but the life-blood of Humanist and other worthy forums.

Professor Timothy Hitchcock (Professor of Digital History, University of Sussex) http://www.sussex.ac.uk/profiles/336034 This paper reflects ongoing work to reconstruct the courtroom at the Old Bailey, as a first step in combining textual analysis of trial reports, with a spatial analysis of the 'experience' of being tried for your life. In the years following the Gordon Riots in 1780, the courtroom at the Old Bailey in London was rebuilt repeatedly. In the process this theatre of justice was transformed from one in which the victim, defendant and jurors, formed the lead actors, into a set that placed barristers centre stage - changing how speech was heard, and voiced. This paper reports on progress in creating a virtual courtroom, and describes the tools and approaches being used to integrate the resulting spatial analysis with textual readings of trial reports, and longitudinal life histories of convicted criminals. _______________________________________________ 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 733556680; Thu, 7 May 2015 10:10:26 +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 D40E4665B; Thu, 7 May 2015 10:10:25 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 633C5664C; Thu, 7 May 2015 10:10:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150507081023.633C5664C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 7 May 2015 10:10:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.4 PhD studentships at Sussex 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: <20150507081026.27362.66240@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 4.

We are offering 4 Home/EU fully funded scholarships and 1 International fully funded scholarship OR 5 Home/EU fully funded scholarships depending on the applicants. The Humanities demand re-invention. Digital transformation means the objects of humanist study have changed. This project and programme of activities is designed to develop critiques, methodologies, and tools ensuring this field is fit for the future. As our culture is re-born digital, old divisions that marked out criticism from history, music from paint, image from text, object from performance, have become increasingly archaic - legacies of the technologies of print and the medieval university. When all the forms of cultural production flow through the digital, the boundaries between them are reconfigured. This reality calls for us to re-imagine the humanities, and to build fields of study that transcend the computational and the aesthetic, informed by new digital objects of study, rather than by inherited disciplinary silos. We welcome applicants with humanities and computational specialisms and anticipate cross-school supervision teams. Successful international applicants to either School of Media, Film and Music, the School of History, Art History and Philosophy or the School of Education and Social Work will be eligible to compete for a Sussex Humanities Lab scholarship.

Please find more information about the conference, the program and the venue below. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Antwerp.

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.

What is DARIAH? I do mean it about the congratulations--very cool. But I would also appreciate a more consistent practice of acronym unpacking in this space. Not to single anyone out, really; acronyms are rampant here and everywhere in academia and frequently go undefined. I read many, many, many announcements of events/projects/conferences/publications on this lovely list (happy birthday!)--in fact, I read it in large part for those announcements, so I can tweet about appropriate information to a group of related researchers. But if I have to go to your website, find your "about" page, and read the first paragraph before I know what your acronym stands for (much less what you do), well, that is a bit of a barrier. Not hugely onerous, but a barrier nonetheless. Please make it easier for those of us who are outside your immediate community to know who you are! Especially in these days of the Digital Diversity conference (http://digitaldiversity2015.org/), it seems a good thing to remember about how to make our activities more broadly accessible.

The dataset includes over 734 billion words, dozens of languages, and spans multiple centuries. Features are informative, quantified characteristics of a text, and include: * Volume-level metadata * Page-level features * Part-of-speech-tagged token counts * Header and footer identification * Sentence and line count * Algorithmic language detection * Line-level features * Beginning and end line character count * Maximum length of the sequence of capital characters starting a line These features allow for analysis of large worksets of volumes in the HathiTrust public domain collection, at scales previously intractable for most individual researchers. For example, page-level token (word) counts, can be used to help build topic models, classifications and perform other text analytics. Similarly, features can be used to evaluate readability of a given volume or workset. How to get the data: The entire dataset, as well as sample subsets and custom worksets, are available at: https://sharc.hathitrust.org/features How to cite: Boris Capitanu, Ted Underwood, Peter Organisciak, Sayan Bhattacharyya, Loretta Auvil, Colleen Fallaw, J.

A wealth of music and music-related information is now available digitally, offering tantalizing possibilities for digital musicologies. These resources include large collections of audio and scores, bibliographic and biographic data, and performance ephemera -- not to mention the 'hidden' existence of these in other digital content. With such large and wide ranging opportunities come new challenges in methods, principally in adapting technological solutions to assist musicologists in identifying, studying, and disseminating scholarly insights from amongst this 'data deluge'. This workshop provides an introduction to computational and informatics methods that can be, and have been, successfully applied to musicology. Many of these techniques have their foundations in computer science, library and information science, mathematics and most recently Music Information Retrieval (MIR); sessions are delivered by expert practitioners from these fields and presented in the context of their collaborations with musicologists, and by musicologists relating their experiences of these multidisciplinary investigations. The workshop comprises of a series of lectures and hands-on sessions, supplemented with reports from musicology research exemplars. Theoretical lectures are paired with practical sessions in which attendees are guided through their own exploration of the topics and tools covered. Laptops will be loaned to attendees with the appropriate specialised software installed and preconfigured. The workshop is part of the annual Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School. As well as the workshop programme there are numerous events in the Summer School including keynote lectures and evening social events.

Convention prevents calling it the 30th birthday until that milestone has actually been reached, next 7 May. We wait until then to pop corks. But, in preparation, I've just run through a long list of those who must share in the blame -- only to conclude that everyone who has been or now is here must be in the dock. Humanist is the expression of a quite remarkable community of thought and practice and would never have happened nor continued without it. From birth Humanist has been too old to be the next new thing's cheerleader, too eccentric and curious to be a political force and far too multivocal to submit to defining its elusive subject or writing its manifesto. If virtues are to be listed, let me suggest the power of habit (with coffee as or before the sun rises), the pleasure of holding forth, the determination to do what you want to do and a certain ambitious restlessness. Allow me to quote the poet Gary Snyder's "Why Log Truck Drivers Rise Earlier than Students of Zen": > In the high seat, before-dawn dark, > Polished hubs gleam > And the shiny diesel stack > Warms and flutters > Up the Tyler Road grade > To the logging on Poorman creek. > Thirty miles of dust. > > There is no other life.

HILT 2015 is delighted to announce that the HathiTrust Research Center will be offering two free workshops for registered attendees at HILT (July 27-31, 2015). You can register for HILT and the HTRC Workshops by visiting: https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/?eventid=1684311 Workshop 1 (Tuesday July 28th, 6-9 PM). Introduction to the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC): Teaching and research using the power of data and metadata in large text corpora. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) will conduct an introductory workshop for researchers and instructors in the humanities, and for librarians, on how to create and use datasets drawn from large-scale textual corpora for the purposes of instruction and research in the humanities. The workshop will introduce the text data which constitute the holdings of the 13.3 million-volume HathiTrust Digital Library (HTDL). The HTRC is engaged in developing innovative analytic digital humanities applications to facilitate the use of this content. The tools and services that are being developed by the HTRC as part of this initiative will be introduced and discussed at the workshop. This workshop will focus on pre-1923 (out-of-copyright) material from the HTDL corpus. In course of the workshop, attendees will learn, through demonstrations and hands-on use, how to leverage the following resources: - the HathiTrust+Bookworm tool for plotting lexical trends in text data - the Secure Hathi Analytics Research Commons (SHARC), an environment for running off-the-shelf algorithms provided by the HTRC. The workshop will include discussion about strategies for integrating text analytics into traditional courses and curricula in the service of humanistic inquiry. Workshop 2 (Wednesday July 29th, 6-8 PM). Advanced Topics in Text Analysis with the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC). This workshop session will focus on advanced topics relating to making use of text data at scale through the HathiTrust Research Center’s Extracted Features dataset. A great deal of useful research can be performed non-consumptively with pre-extracted features. This session will demonstrate how users (researchers and instructors in the humanities) can work with the extracted features that are being provided by the HTRC as data exports corresponding to user-defined subcollections that are created by the users themselves. Workshop attendees will learn how they can follow a non-consumptive paradigm in preparation for conducting analysis against works in copyright. They will also learn advanced skills that build on concepts introduced at the beginners’ workshop session, such as how to re-purpose existing algorithms and how to adapt the resources provided to meet research and teaching objectives.

The Digital Pedagogy Institute and the Student Experience: Emerging technologies have had an immense impact on the way that research is now conducted by scholars in all academic disciplines. There is a move toward the use of computers, applications, and larger, non-discrete data sets for what is increasingly termed “digital scholarship.” These major changes in research methodology mandate the development of new skill sets, both in faculty and in the training of students. As such, Digital Literacy and Pedagogy must become a priority for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty members who must adapt to and participate in new, digitally-mediated methodologies. The Digital Pedagogy Institute (http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/conferences/dpi/) will bring together faculty members, scholars, librarians, and students with considerable expertise or interest in the area of Digital Pedagogy, and will consist of plenary sessions, informational sessions, hands on workshops involving digital tools, and panel discussions. Presentations from those who have participated in the development of digital scholarship projects will give participants insight into the integration of this skill set into the post-secondary context, and how this integration has the potential to ameliorate learning experience and job readiness. Why: The Digital Pedagogy Institute, co-hosted by the University of Toronto Scarborough Library, Brock University, and Ryerson University, and also funded by a SSHRC Connection Grant, will explore the potential impact that Digital Pedagogy can have on student experience. This will include the following topics: · How can digital research methodologies be used to improve student learning and engagement? · What are the best methods for teaching students digital skills so that they can actively participate in knowledge mobilization related to digital research? What instructional strategies have proven to be most successful? · What political and ideological decisions do educators (and institutions) involved in digital scholarship make in planning their teaching and research? · How can faculty shift from transmitting knowledge to facilitating collaborative learning, co-inquiring and co-learning with students via activity-centered projects? Call for Proposals: We are currently accepting proposals for sessions and workshops. Please see https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/conferences/dpi/call-for-proposals/ for additional information. Proposals are due June 4th, 2015. Student propoals are encouraged. Confirmed Speakers: Please see http://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/conferences/dpi/speakers/ Cost: $80, waived for undergraduates.

According to official reports, they commandeered several buses and traveled to Iguala that day to hold a protest at a conference led by the mayor's wife. During the journey local police intercepted them and a confrontation ensued. Details of what happened during and after the clash remain unclear, but the official investigation concluded that once the students were in custody, they were handed over to the local Guerreros Unidos ("United Warriors") crime syndicate and presumably killed. Mexican authorities claimed Iguala's mayor, Jos? Luis Abarca Vel?zquez, and his wife Mar?a de los ?geles Pineda Villa, masterminded the abduction. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VTXIAMC MEXICO DIARIES Handwritten diaries from 6-month Mexican sojourn; includes color snippets from Indicaciones boardgame. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VRV76E4 MEXICO SUITE: all eleven volumes soon available for $1000US delivered on DVD or dropbox. http://bradbrace.net/mx.html http://bbrace.net/mx.html /:b _______________________________________________ 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 1FA676670; Tue, 12 May 2015 07:29:23 +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 56D8965CF; Tue, 12 May 2015 07:29:22 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 09BCC653F; Tue, 12 May 2015 07:29:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150512052920.09BCC653F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 07:29:19 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.17 billions of pages' worth 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: <20150512052922.11523.17307@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 17.

That said, and I hope not to raise again this rather boring war of religion that goes on since 1986 (the date of SGML standardization, only to fix a conventional kick off...), I wonder if all of these (meta)data are really of any interest for a literary scholar? Is this big data deluge that we can play with using purely quantitative methods, giving us any insight about texts? Out of the hype, I really would like to know if someone on the community of digital literary scholar is really thinking about the adequacy of these methods. Of course I do not want to raise another war of religion, just a good ole controversy based on argumentation. Fabio --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 00:39:05 +0000 From: "Downie, J Stephen" Subject: RE: 29.14 billions of pages' worth: sign of the times? In-Reply-To: <20150510061135.A040A669C@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Dr. Schmidt and Colleagues: Thanks for your feedback, Desmond, on our recent data release. We are quite excited to be able to release this data for use by scholars everywhere. The recent release represents early days for what we hope will be an ongoing aspect of our work at the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC). We are learning by doing. We welcome each and every comment, suggestion and question so we can make subsequent releases as useful as possible. The tech team at HTRC chose JSON for this release for its relative simplicity and its relative ease-of-use in processing/parsing the data since the format is basically name-value pairs variously nested. Also, like with many projects, JSON was a format with which members of the tech team felt quite comfortable, having used the format before in other tasks. I mention this to let folks know that we are actually rather agnostic as to possible formats for future releases. We are open to all suggestions and ideas. Notwithstanding that the underlying volumes from which we derived our extracted features metadata are in the "public domain", agreements with the parties that did the scanning, along with variations in international copyright laws with regard to public domain status determinations, preclude the HTRC from actually delivering the underlying text and page images to the community. Individual works most likely can be viewed, however, at the HathiTrust Digital Library (http://hathitrust.org/) using the Volume ID as key to finding the specific volume in question. The HathiTrust does have a mechanism for scholars to request public domain datasets for specific research projects. If interested, I recommend that you visit http://www.hathitrust.org/datasets for more information. As time progresses, it our goal to evolve the types of extracted features we share. At the same time, we plan to develop tools to make selecting and downloading subsets of features and volumes easier. Finally, we also hope to begin releasing features from copyright-restricted works as part of the HTRC's "non-consumptive research" framework. This way we can assist the community in making analytic and scholarly use of the remaining ~9 million volumes/~3 billion pages the HT digital library! I hope this has helped to clarify things a bit. If not, please drop me or the HTRC a line and we will try to make things clearer.

These grants support projects to preserve and create intellectual access to such collections as books, journals, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture. Awards also support the creation of reference works, online resources, and research tools of major importance to the humanities. HCRR offers two kinds of awards: 1) Implementation Grants -- $350,000 maximum, for up to three years. Eligible activities include: * arranging and describing archival and manuscript collections; * cataloging collections of printed works, photographs, recorded sound, moving images, art, and material culture; * providing conservation treatment for collections, leading to enhanced access; * digitizing collections; * preserving and improving access to born-digital sources including the updating of existing digital resources; * developing databases, virtual collections, or other electronic resources to codify information on a subject or to provide integrated access to selected humanities materials; * creating encyclopedias; * preparing linguistic tools, such as historical and etymological dictionaries, corpora, and reference grammars * developing tools for spatial analysis and representation of humanities data, such as atlases and geographic information systems (GIS); and * designing digital tools to facilitate use of humanities resources. 2) HCRR Foundations Grants -- $40,000 maximum, for up to two years. To help in the formative stages of initiatives to preserve and create access to humanities collections or to produce reference resources, Foundations grants will support planning, assessment, and pilot activities that incorporate expertise from a mix of professional domains. Drawing upon the cooperation of humanities scholars and technical specialists, these projects might encompass efforts to prepare for establishing intellectual control of collections, to develop plans and priorities for digitizing collections, to solidify collaborative frameworks and strategic plans for complex digital repositories and resources, or to produce preliminary versions of online collections or resources. New guidelines for HCRR have now been posted, along with sample proposal narratives, FAQs, and other resources. The application deadline is July 21, 2015, with projects beginning May 2016. All applications to NEH must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov; see guidelines for details. Prospective applicants seeking further information are encouraged to contact the Division at 202-606-8570 or preservation@neh.gov. Program staff will read draft proposals submitted six weeks before the deadline. Details on the full slate of funding opportunities in Preservation and Access, along with news and features, can be found on the Division's website http://www.neh.gov/divisions/preservation . _____________________________________________ The National Endowment for the Humanities is a grant-making agency of the United States (U.S.) federal government that supports projects in the humanities.

It is based on the context-free grammar used in SCIgen, but instead of randomly piecing together sentences, it uses your input message to control the text it generates. Then, given SCIpher output, it can recover the original message by reverse-engineering the choices made at encoding-time. One useful purpose for such a program is to communicate secret messages that don't look like secret messages. Encrypted emails, for example, might signal to snoopers that you are an interesting person who bears investigation. However, in our experience when you send out a Call for Papers (CFP) announcement, it's very unlikely that anyone will read it.

Digital Humanities Hackathon on Text Re-Use: ‘Don’t leave your data problems at home!’ 27-30 July, 2015 Hosted by the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH), Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany Organised by: Emily Franzini, Greta Franzini and Maria Moritz The Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities will host a Hackathon targeted at students and researchers with a humanities background who wish to improve their computer skills by working with their own data-set. 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.

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 [...] -- Ben Miller, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English and Communication Co-Director, New and Emerging Media Initiative Georgia State University miller@gsu.edu // bjmiller@mit.edu // @intransitive --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 16:53:54 +0000 From: Bethany Nowviskie Subject: 2015 DLF Forum info & dates In-Reply-To: <20150227073844.EA935830@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Humanist members — I write to call your attention to deadlines and opportunities related to this year’s DLF Forum, to be held in Vancouver, BC in late October 2015: http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/ The Digital Library Federation is a vibrant community of practitioners who meet annually at the Forum and work together throughout the year, in order to develop best practices, share new projects and lessons learned, and advance global research, teaching, and learning through data sharing and the development of tools and services for cultural heritage and e-research. The CFP deadline for this year’s DLF Forum is June 22nd: http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/cfp/ Sessions may take the form of presentations and panels, workshops, project updates, working sessions, “snapshots” and posters/lightning talks in our Community Idea Exchange. You do not need to be affiliated with a DLF member institution in order to submit. 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 bring action-oriented topics to a practitioner audience, considering aspects of design, management, implementation, assessment, and collaboration. Suggested topics 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 However, this is not a prescriptive list. We encourage you to be creative, collaborative, and collegial! This year, we will host a 1-day DLF Liberal Arts Colleges Preconference before the Forum: http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/affiliated-events/dlflac/ (CFP deadline for the Preconference is also June 22nd) and a day-long training workshop after it, on linked open data in libraries, archives, and museums — “LODLAM in Practice:" http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/affiliated-events/lodlaminpractice Details on other affiliated events will be announced soon. Early-bird pricing for Forum registration is open through May 31st: http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/registration/ And thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, fellowships and travel awards are available in five categories. These include opportunities for students and new professionals, members of underrepresented groups, and “cross-pollinators” from the museums, ER&L and VRA communities. Deadlines are fast approaching (May 22nd, in most cases), so apply soon! http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/fellowships/ There has been a growing and energetic digital humanities presence at this meeting in recent years, and this will be my first Forum as the new director of the DLF.

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 webcontent 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.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 10:43:51 -0400 From: "Clutterbuck, Hanna" Subject: Medical Heritage Library Awarded NEH Grant for Digitization of State Medical Society Journals, 1900 - 2000 In-Reply-To: Good morning! In case you missed it (and with apologies for cross-posts), here's the latest news from the Medical Heritage Library: The Medical Heritage Library (MHL), a digital resource on the history of medicine and health developed by an international consortium of cultural heritage repositories, has received funding in the amount of $275,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities for its proposal "Medicine at Ground Level: State Medical Societies, State Medical Journals, and the Development of American Medicine and Society." Additional funding has been provided by the Harvard Library. The project, led by the Countway Library's Center for the History of Medicine, will create a substantial digital collection of American state medical society journals, digitizing 117 titles from 46 states, from 1900 to 2000, comprising 2,500,369 pages in 3,579 volumes. State medical society journal publishers agreed to provide free and open access to journal content currently under copyright. Once digitized, journals will join the more than 75,000 monographs, serials, pamphlets, and films now freely available in the MHL collection in the Internet Archive. State medical society journals will provide additional context for the rare and historical American medical periodicals digitized during the recently completed NEH project, Expanding the Medical Heritage Library: Preserving and Providing Online Access to Historical Medical Periodicals. Full text search is available through the MHL website. MHL holdings can also be accessed through DPLA (dp.la), and the Wellcome Library's UK-MHL. Five preeminent medical libraries, including three founding members of the MHL, are collaborating on this project: The College of Physicians of Philadelphia; the Countway Library of Medicine at Harvard University; the Center for the History of Medicine and Public Health at The New York Academy of Medicine; the Health Sciences and Human Services Library, University of Maryland, the Founding Campus (UMB); and the Library and Center for Knowledge Management at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF). State medical society journals document the transformation of American medicine in the twentieth century at both the local and national level. The journals have served as sites not only for scientific articles, but for medical talks (and, often, accounts of discussions following the talks), local news regarding sites of medical care and the medical profession, advertisements, and unexpurgated musings on medicine and society throughout the 20th century. When digitized and searchable as a single, comprehensive body of material, this collection will be a known universe, able to support a limitless array of historical queries, including those framed geographically and/or temporally, offering new ways to examine and depict the evolution of medicine and the relationship between medicine and society. Project supporter and former president of the American Association for the History of Medicine, Professor of History Nancy J. Tomes, Stony Brook University, notes, "the value of this collection lies precisely in the insights state journals provide on issues of great contemporary interest. They shed light on questions at the heart of today's policy debates: why do physicians treat specific diseases so differently in different parts of the country? Why is it such a challenge to develop and implement professional policies at the national level? How do state level developments in health insurance influence federal policy and vice versa? How do factors such as race, class, gender, and ethnicity affect therapeutic decision making? How have methods of promoting new therapies and technologies changed over time? These are issues of interest not only to historians but to political scientists, sociologists, and economists. Not only will the state journals be of great use to researchers, but they also will be a great boon to teachers. I can easily imagine using the collection to engage medical students, residents, and practicing physicians in the conduct of historical research." Digitization will begin in August 2015; the project will be completed in April 2017.

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.

That term might be an appropriate analogy if it were a mere matter of taste to choose between two concurrent and competing technologies, but not to describe technical succession. Don't get me wrong: JSON is not a replacement for all uses of XML (like TEI), but it is a suitable format for metadata. What surprised me in the Hathi Trust announcement was their decision to choose JSON, where just a few years ago anything other than XML would have been unthinkable. Taken together with my earlier comments on Humanist (28.79 events: HTML5 and XML, 4th June) concerning the talk at Balisage last year characterising XML as a "legacy" technology, and my earlier remarks on the abandonment of many XML functions in DH database migration (Re: 28.383 PostGreSQL and Solr for digital archives? 10 Oct 2014), and also several graphs on Google Trends etc that one cannot dismiss technological change involving XML as a mere religious war. As to whether JSON is better than XML, I have never understood what purpose is served by the arcane distinction between attributes and elements, or why tag-names must be repeated at element-end. The only thing these two features achieve is to exacerbate complexity and confusion for the user. And what is superfluous will, in time, simply disappear. I would agree with the chief engineer of XML that "for important use cases JSON is dramatically better than XML" (James Clark, 2010). And that is not a religious statement. It is rather, as Willard suggests, a "sign of the times".

(I use the quaint term 'the computer' deliberately to suggest how far we've come.) I'd suppose that as long as everything we do is algorithmically transformable our efforts are not Oxymandian. But isn't it the case that every digital metalanguage we design incorporates mutable, partial conceptions of the world in it? Aren't we always meta-modelling? I'd suppose further that working on ways of facilitating our ability to change with the times would be a fine meta-project for us all. Comments?

[The following admittedly late birthday greeting is simply too interesting and important to keep to myself, so I am sending it, attachments deleted, to the one being celebrated. I trust that anyone here who is engaged by Tim Smithers' note will have access to the journals Science and Frontiers in Neuroscience. Are we, as Tim suggests, venturing beyond the critically knowable? Are we in digital humanities becoming trapped by our machines, more and more studying them rather than the arts, literature, music? --WM] Dear Willard, I started this on 7 May, but this is a now late Humanist Birthday greetings. Congratulations are certainly in order, or Zorionak!, as the Basques say: to you and all else who have made and keep Humanist such a wonderful list. I have enjoyed more and learned more from this list than any other. I don't have a good record, but I have been lurking on Humanist for about ten years--as a non-Humanities person. For me, it is, in certain ways, reminiscent of Phil Agre's The Red Rock Eater News Service (RRE), which I joined very early in its all too short life. Perhaps you were on this list too? Birthday's call for presents, so I thought I'd send you two small ones. You probably know Ian Morris' latest book, Foragers, Farmers, and Fossil Fuels: How Human Values Evolve, but here is a review of this by Peter Turchin, recently published in Science, so perhaps you'll not have seen this. Turchin's work on "Cliodynamics" I imagine you know. I find this interesting, but not because I like what he does. I think he illustrates something that seems to happen in the Sciences, perhaps more and more. The instruments of investigation (the lose way to say this is, the technology) comes to overly determine what the science is. As our instruments of investigation become more powerful and more sophisticated, we, scientists, seem to get carried away. It's as if we think that using big powerful instruments must make our science better. It doesn't, of course. Often it results in poor science, and sometimes, no science at all. This happens, in part, I think, because as our instruments become more powerful they typically become more complicated to use, so making it harder for non-users to be able to tell if they are being used well and in appropriate ways. I see hints of this in the Digital Humanities too. This belief, that "big powerful instruments makes our science better," often means that the questions we investigate, together with how, are formulated more from what we can do with our instruments, and how, than by what we believe or suspect might be a good way to improve our knowledge and understanding of what we investigate. What we can do with our instruments becomes uppermost in our thinking, and drives the science we do. Rather than our thinking about what we want to try to understand better driving how we might do this with the instruments we have. What we can and know how to do with our instruments and what we need to try to do for some good research don't always line up. Often the former--what we know how to do--is easier to go with than struggling with the latter--what is needed fro some good science. It may be my romantic spectacles, but in earlier times, this didn't happen so much. For example, I don't see this when I read of how Jame Clerk Maxwell investigated the physics and perception of colour. He (together with his wife) made most of the instruments and devices they used in their investigations. They were simple, but also, because they built their own instruments of investigation, the questions they investigated and how, and the instruments they used to do this with, were naturally more aligned. Digital Humanists do, at least sometimes, build their own computational tools of investigation, but not, I think, often enough for this "the instrument is in the way" situation to be as evident as it could be, and perhaps needs to be. To illustrate a little more of what I'm getting at, I attach a second Birthday present, a paper by Robert Pepperell: Connecting art and the brain: an artist's perspective on visual indeterminacy. As the title suggests, Pepperell is an artist, but in this paper he reports on a collaboration with some neuroscientists. I think it's an interesting paper throughout, but then I have an interest in what he calls visual indeterminacy. However, in a final section he makes a series of insightful observations about the way some of the science was done in this collaboration. It illustrates, again, I think, how this too was allowed to be heavily configured by what you can do with brain scanning machines and subject testing, and, in particular, how you have to limit and configure what is an "experiment" by how you can use these machines and techniques in practice. I think Pepperell is to be praised for daring to publish these observations, and for doing so in such a gentle and well intentioned way. It's nice to see this. Any way, Happy Birthday Humanist! May it continue for another happy 30 years!

We should not fall into the trap that some have unwittingly laid, of thinking of this as 'succession'. As Desmond notes, "JSON is not a replacement for all uses of XML (like TEI), but it is a suitable format for metadata." For various largely historical reasons, XML had come to occupy a larger area of the markup/metadata/serialisation domain than was entirely comfortable. For some parts of that domain -- specifically those with highly-structured data, relatively little text, and little need for validation -- XML had become distinctly uncomfortable. JSON comes with a lot less baggage: carry-on only, nothing checked in; for some voyages, more would be too much. It's wonderfully liberating, and I've used it on a number of occasions. For those occasions when a little more is useful, there are some efforts to add structure back in. Look at http://json-schema.org (there may be others). I don't have a good feeling about those (for one thing, json-schema seems to insist on writing the schema in JSON notation -- a neat trick which went horribly wrong last time with XML Schema). Schemas are complicated, and I suspect that the effort to add them to JSON will end up adding a degree of notational complexity (and warmth of standards-group invective -- JSON is not free of its Enthusiasts) which will make us nostalgic for XML with all its warts. ---- The following is a bit of a historical tangent. > As to whether JSON is better than XML, I have never understood what > purpose is served by the arcane distinction between attributes and > elements, or why tag-names must be repeated at element-end. I think I can explain those, or at least explain why an apparently bizarre decision was reasonable; both are to some extent atavisms. (I hope Desmond will forgive me if I am answering an implied rhetorical question) Without going into a certainly arcane tangent about data versus metadata, I think one can recall that when working with texts -- that is, doing SGML markup -- the distinction was never in practice terribly confusing. There were decisions to be made, and I'm sure many on this list can recall or generate relevant rules of thumb, but it's only when *ML expanded, with the web, to cover areas which were were not _really_ 'markup' (*handwaving*), that the distinction became something of a fossil one. The element end-tags of SGML were important because they let the markup author indicate unambiguously when an element had ended, either for the sake of error-checking, or to avoid an otherwise ambiguous parse. Because SGML was designed to be typed out without editor support, however, there was lots of minimisation: end tags might in various circumstances collapse to '', or '/', or in many/most cases be omitted entirely, and one only rarely had to actually include them in the text; whole layers of markup could vanish from sight. When XML was derived from it, the desire to simplify the job for parsers, combined with the realisation that most people (for some unspecified value of 'most') would be using smart editors which would handle the end-tags, meant that all the minimisation functionality was dropped, making the result appear as it now does. Since over the last decade the ratio of tag to text has probably gone up significantly, the result does sometimes look a bit of a mess.

Talks which may be of specific interest to historians of science, medicine and technology include: * Simon Schaffer (Cambridge): 'Soft matter and mobile objects' [keynote] * Claire Sabel (Cambridge): 'Cultures of Colorimetry' * Anita Guerrini (Oregon State University): 'The Skeleton Trade: Life, Death, and Commerce in Early Modern Europe' * Dora Vargha (University of London): 'Traveling pathogens, flying vaccines: a story of failure in global polio vaccination' * Paul Gooding & Stephen Bennett (University of East Anglia): '“A Link to the Past”: Remastered Videogames and the Material Archive' * Petra Tjitske Kalshoven (University of Manchester): 'Animal artefacts: categorical trespassing by the curiously lifelike' [taxidermy] Objects in Motion: Material Culture in Transition Interdisciplinary conference at CRASSH, University of Cambridge, 18-20 June 2015 Registration & provisional program online: http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/25668 Convened by Dr. Alexi Baker: ab933@cam.ac.uk Twitter and hashtag: @Objects2015 #objects2015 Objects in Motion brings together scholars, curators and artists from around the world to dialogue about material objects in transition - cultural, temporal and geographical. All material objects are produced within specific contexts – whether they are ancient Greek tombstones, century-old Inuit clothing, or modern video games. How are differences in use and meaning negotiated when these objects transition into other contexts? What continuities remain, and what is reinterpreted and refashioned? How does this affect the meanings and knowledge embodied in, or found with, such objects? The subjects discussed will range in time from antiquity to the present day, and in geography across different continents. The individual disciplines encompassed include history, history of science and medicine, anthropology, social anthropology, archaeology, ethnology, art and performance, history of art, geography, digital humanities, museums, and cultural heritage. This breadth of speakers and topics will facilitate a fruitful exploration of material culture dynamics which are central to the human experience even in an era of multinational corporations, global communication, and increasing standardisation. It will also foster discussion of the different disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to studying and communicating about these themes. Twenty-one panel speakers are joined by three keynotes: Simon Schaffer, Professor of History of Science at the University of CambridgeNicholas Thomas, Director of the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology [MAA]Tim Knox, Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum There will also be a short documentary film shown, visual art by Jane Watt and ceramic arts by Chris McHugh displayed, and Ms. Watt’s mobile art studio onsite for the first two days. There will be a reception at the MAA on the first evening, a reception and viewing of the superb exhibition Treasured Possessions at the Fitzwilliam on the second evening, and optional visits to other local museums on the final afternoon. The registration fee is £75 or £40 for students and includes all of the scheduled lunches, refreshments, and receptions. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 12:49:07 -0400 From: Bethany Nowviskie Subject: reminder: call for hosts, DH 2017 & 2018 REMINDER: DRAFT PROPOSALS/EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST DUE JUNE 1ST. The ADHO Conference Coordinating Committee invites proposals to host the following two DH conferences, in 2017 and 2018: http://adho.org/host-dh17-dh18 http://adho.org/host-dh17-dh18 Digital Humanities (DH) is the annual international conference of ADHO, the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations: http://www.adho.org http://www.adho.org/ . ADHO's constituent societies are the European Association for Digital Humanities (EADH), the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities / Société canadienne des humanités numériques (CSDH/SCHN), the Australasian Association for Digital Humanities (aaDH), centerNet, and the Japanese Association for Digital Humanities (JADH). Our next joint DH conference will be held at the University of Western Sydney, Australia (http://dh2015.org/ http://dh2015.org/ ), 29 June–3 July 2015, and DH 2016 will be in Kraków, Poland, hosted by the Jagiellonian University and the Pedagogical University of Kraków, 10-16 July 2016. 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 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.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 10:55:32 -0400 From: Hugh Cayless Subject: Re: 29.24 billions of pages' worth In-Reply-To: <20150513051508.A367A668A@digitalhumanities.org> Technical transitions are not religious wars, it is true, but technology is, to an unreasonable extent, fashion driven. Those of us who’ve been around the block a few times are very familiar with this sort of cycle: 1. New technology appears that compares favorably with an established technology, achieving greater speed or ease of use, often by dropping big chunks of the established technology. 2. New tech acquires many evangelists, becomes very popular. Old tech’s users are derided and have to defend their decision not to be fashionable. Inexperienced users choose the new tech based only of its hype and contribute to that hype. 3. Users begin to realize parts of the established tech that the new one dropped were actually useful. They begin to add them to the new tech. 4. The realization dawns that the new tech is now just as clunky/slow/undesirable as the old. Maybe it’s totally unusable now, or maybe it’s reached a sustainable level of maturity. Some people drift back to the established tech if it’s still viable, leaving a core of dedicated users, some move on to another new tech. Maybe the two continue to coexist, like vi and emacs. Old tech users (if any remain) lead a chorus of "I told you so." 5. Rinse, repeat. JSON is at about step #3 right now. Time will tell if JSON is to XML as XML was to SGML or if it’s like the NoSQL movement is to the RDBMS (for reference see e.g. https://dennisforbes.ca/index.php/2010/03/24/the-impact-of-ssds-on-database-performance-and-the-performance-paradox-of-data-explodification/). There are no silver bullets. There is no single "right" technology. The choice of what technology to use to accomplish a task should be made based on its affordances, it’s maturity level, the help you can get from its user community, and its overall suitability for your data and your requirements. HathiTrust and its developers seem to me to have made a perfectly sensible non-ideological technology decision. You, Desmond, are a sort of XML kakangelist :-). I can understand finding a technology flawed and even irritating (I feel much the same way about RDF), but you seem to me to raise your dislike of XML to the level of ideology, and I don’t think that’s a reasonable basis for deciding whether or not to use a technology.

As Willard says: the times they keep on changin' Less succinct is choosing the right hammer for the job. Us humans have discovered lots more things we need a hammer for than banging in nails. See http://www.diydata.com/tool/hammer/hammers.php or http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/different-types-of-hammers.htm to cite just two. The hammer has come a long way since it's use as a stone tool, perhaps as much as 3.39 million years ago [1], and probably before that as (less easily preserved) wooden or bone hammers. And, as with many of our tools, hammers have become tools used to make other tools with, including other kinds of hammer. That makes it interesting! Time to stop blaming the hammer, maybe.

Although I don't want this to degenerate into a boring JSON vs XML argument, I'd like to point out that the JSON standard has no version number precisely "because it is so simple, it is not expected that the JSON grammar will ever change" (ECMA standard ECMA-404). And I'd like to question this notion of yours that technological change is stuck in a "rinse-repeat" cycle. What about the work of the Text Encoding Initiative itself? Is that just a redefinition of what went before it? The original grant proposal makes it clear that what preceded TEI was chaos: everyone used different encoding schemes for different projects that had nothing, not even character encoding standards, in common. What we have now is at least something that organises that chaos under the rubric of a single encoding technology. You could argue that TEI has itself become chaotic, that it has allowed accretions of material that was previously excluded. But I think we have gone forward. The wave has reached higher up the beach. In fact the JSON vs XML debate is part of a much wider movement on the Web to simplify the technologies that underlie it. What about REST: this is a reaction to the "opaque and insanely complex" XML Web services standards so derided by Tim Bray. And what about technologies like NodeJS (in a nutshell end-to-end Javascript) or RDFa, Linked Data, or (your own example) noSQL? Aren't they also simplifications that, if your argument is correct, are just part of a rinse-repeat cycle that will end up being just as bad as what preceded them? I don't think so. There is something deeper and bigger here: a strong desire to comprehend the Web as a technical whole, rather than muddle through the hodge-podge of dischordant and endlessly varied technologies, all screaming for attention, that have characterised the early years of Web development. As for being a "kakangelist" I have always tried to marry constructive suggestions with criticism. I have worked hard on solutions, such as multi-version documents for representing complex variation, standoff markup properties to describe encoded texts, a packaged form of the digital scholarly edition to replace the all-or-nothing approach of TEI, a text-to-image linking tool that doesn't require overlapping markup, on general and interoperable tools for digital scholarly editions. That's not just being a critic; that's being constructive. Indeed, I don't understand how one can ever challenge the status quo without first pointing out what is wrong with it. Otherwise original thoughts would never get a chance to be heard without being shouted down by those who say that what we already have is good enough.

The etymological entry for 'hammer' in the OED suggests that, "The Norse sense 'crag'™, and possible relationship to Slavic 'kamy', Russian 'kameni' stone, have suggested that the word originally meant '˜stone weapon'." This suggests further, perhaps, that the hammer was the original weapon. Resemblance to an arm and clenched fist relates it to the human body, the proto-weapon. Picking up a hammer almost generates the desire to hammer something -- or someone. Is the same true of knives? Such a near-autonomic reaction is much fainter with screwdrivers, pliers and so on, until the tool becomes 'ready-to-hand'. In the present context this leads me to wonder about our machine. In what ways do we similarly extend ourselves into our computers and our 'smart' appliances, to the point of losing the distinction? I observe my quite distressing level of disorientation and anxiety whenever my computer, network, its attached devices fail to work. I *think* this is a very different state of mind from the frustration at the failure of a non-computational device, though I suspect the distinction has grown very fuzzy indeed. This is more than dependency. But I doubt that there's anything essentially new here, and that makes this more-than-dependency hugely important, does it not? On the level of scholarship, it would suggest that the changes going on extend to the furthest/deepest levels. How might this be guiding our actions as scholars? Anything of interest here?

On June 1st we will welcome Helen Nissenbaum on: Elements of Contextual Integrity as Guideposts for Privacy Research. Date: June 1, 2015, Time: 2pm-6pm Location: Pyramid room at King's College Strand Campus. Free Tickets: http://tinyurl.com/q3eedgo Abstract: Elements of Contextual Integrity as Guideposts for Privacy Research According to the theory of contextual integrity, disruptions in the flow of personal information (often stemming from deployment of computational systems and digital media) are experienced as privacy threats not merely when they expose personal information or threaten our control over it but when they result in inappropriate flows. Appropriateness of flow is modeled by the construct of context-specific informational norms, which prescribe informational flows according to the parties involved (subjects, senders, recipients), the types of information, and constraints on flow between parties. Empirical studies promise a more nuanced, less ambiguous account of attitudes and behaviors relevant to privacy when taking account of these additional dimensions of analysis. _______________________________________________ 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 47FF1671D; Mon, 18 May 2015 10:44:47 +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 8A72D670A; Mon, 18 May 2015 10:44:46 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E15E9670A; Mon, 18 May 2015 10:44:43 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150518084443.E15E9670A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 18 May 2015 10:44:43 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.35 techno-liberation?

In-Reply-To: <20150513050947.93ABF102D@digitalhumanities.org> First. I apologies to Carole Reeves, and her collaborators, for any offence caused by what I'm about to do to her Techno-Liberation announcement. Certainly none is intended, but I fear some may be caused. Second. I'm a techno-type--an engineer, a scientist, and a designer--who works with plenty of technology, mostly computational and robotics stuff. So, I feel qualified to respond. Third. As a human being, I must respond. Here we go. The language matters. I'm with George Orwell on this. All the way! > Can technology contribute to social equality? No, it can't! Technology doesn't have the agent capacities needed to be able to make contributions. People might make use of technology to bring about more social equality, but it's still the people, and only the people, who do this, not technology. Technology is not well understood as some kind of mysterious social force, for good or ill. It is not an agent of social change. People are! > Imagine you lived in a house with walls that can repair themselves What? And then not need to call the painter and decorator who has done good work for me for many years. Who happily comes by to look at what needs doing, gives me good advice, and helpful suggestions that fit the situation, my likes, and preferences. Who quotes an agreeable price. Does a good professional job, and is a pleasure to have in the house while she works. Who tells me about new things that can be done today, to deal with the old problems that come with living in and looking after old houses. No, no, not for me, thank you. Any way, I bet these self repairing walls only come with brand new houses, built so they start to fall apart as soon as you do any living in them. I don't see much social equality in that: you only have it if you buy a new house, or pay loads more to make it work in your old one, and your painter and decorator is left with no work to employ the skills, expertise, passion she uses to sustain a fulfilling life. > Imagine you could 3D print a jumper when you need it What? And then not need to call my mother-in-law to ask her if she'd knit me a new jumper. And talk to her about what I'd like, what I need, what she could manage to do, and what I could do for her, in exchange ... repair the wall in the back bedroom that has damp, perhaps. This too doesn't sound like it's on the way to more social equality, taking away opportunities for people to make the kinds of contributions that help them feel wanted and fulfilled. > People want to empower themselves through the use of > technology; No, I don't think so. What is the evidence for this wanting for technological empowerment? Technologies are used to render tools that are fit for human purposes. That's how it's always been, for millions of years now, starting with stone tools, and probably before that with (less easily preserved) wood and bone implements. > people want to find innovative solutions to old > problems. Yes, but no. The old problems are mostly to do with struggling to use tools that are not fit for purpose. But we don't need innovative solutions to solve these. We need human caring designing and engineering, and the humanist designers and engineers who can do this. It's not what STEM education will give us. Nor will calls for techno-liberation. What it takes to build a world where technology helps everyone to reach their full potential are people who care about people, and who make well considered use of technological possibilities, I think.

Vann Woodward, commenting in the Journal of Contemporary History 3.2 (1968) on the zealotry of some quantifying historians: > It is mainly our young who need to be protected. I find among them a > mood of incipient panic, a mounting fear of technological > displacement, and a disposition among a few to rush into the camp of > the zealots....

Only in that way will they be able > effectively to cope with the philistines among us, to be on guard > against their sophistries, see through their pretensions, and turn to > the uses of our craft such tricks and notions of these people as meet > our standards and serve our needs. My question is this: how much of Woodward's description would need to be changed to apply today once the "incipient panic" of the Cold War era is subtracted? We have our zealots (now of agent-based modelling); we have technological displacement; we have plenty of techno-ideology and its attendant sophistries. Does the fact of continual and apparently unending technological change mean that the above will always be with us?

Also in 1967 the redoubtable J. H. Hexter, in "Some American Observations" (Journal of Contemporary History 2.1), chronicled the explosive growth in higher education in his country and the equally explosive growth in research outputs, then asked, > how in the world do we deal discriminately and in a timesaving way > with this appalling mass of stuff? The problem will soon be > compounded by the development and application to historical > bibliography of the resources of elaborate information retrieval > systems. As near as one can make out, such systems will be at once > highly sophisticated at the level of taxonomic selectivity, and quite > stupid at the level of qualitative discrimination.

Their very competence at directing a researcher to all the > recent literature in any field will compound his already staggering > problem of picking his way through the field without sinking up to > his neck in the dreary morass of wasted words. An attack on the > problem of quality discrimination more persistent, systematic, and > concentrated than any made so far should have a high place on the > agenda of the profession. The old informal devices for finding one's > way to what is good in current historiography are inadequate to the > present situation, and a search for a way to provide historians with > a reliable quality indicator, a sort of historiographic Guide > Michelin, is overdue. What Hexter did not see, and perhaps could not have seen, is that the very lack of these retrieval systems' ability to discriminate has, I'd argue, changed or is changing our ideas of "what is good". It also led to Google, which I suspect is changing our ideas of what is relevant. And not necessarily for the good, I'd say. Comments? Who has written cogently on such changes?

For thoughtful histories of the debates among historians about the use of quantitative methods (organized principally around a history of rise of cultural history in the 1970s and 1980s), I find the following two works valuable: - Sewell Jr., William H. Logics of History: Social Theory and Social Transformation. University Of Chicago Press, 2005. - Eley, Geoff. A Crooked Line: From Cultural History to the History of Society. University of Michigan Press, 2005.

The forum will take place on September 25 & 26, 2015 at the University of Kansas. We are excited that Global Outlook Digital Humanities and Library and Information Science at City University London are kindly supporting the conference. We are also pleased to announce our three fantastic keynotes: Kim Christen Withey , Associate Director, Digital Technology and Culture Program, Washington State University T-Kay Sangwand , Human Rights Archivist, University of Texas Libraries, Human Rights Documentation Initiative Anita Say Chan , Assistant Research Professor of Communications, University of Illinois Submit 500 word abstracts to idrh@ku.edu by June 1st. 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.

In general, Digital Humanities refers to the application of information techniques and the data manage system that comes with it, to investigate issues in humanities, in particularly those that are considered difficult, or even next to impossible to observe, describe, or analyze without the aid of information techniques. For example, digital technology can deal with the cross-area studies of broader geographical areas, or the diachronic and comparative researches in longitudinal dimension. Through constant exchange of ideas between scholars of both humanities and information technologies, the development of Digital Humanities has now gone beyond simple data mining and exploring new research themes within one’s own research field. It is aimed to become an interdisciplinary approach that will intertwine knowledge from various research fields, and integrate different types of data and analytical techniques, in order to develop new research topics and methodologies, and to motivate both reflections on and paradigm shift of humanities. Looking from a broader sense, information technologies and digital data have already had very profound impacts on contemporary culture and in our daily lives. Therefore, issues such as how exactly the application of information techniques and digital data have impacted which aspect of contemporary lives; how they have inspired creativities in societal movements, cultural forms, and artistic expressions; and what will our lives will be like living in a digital world in the future, have become important research themes in Digital Humanities. The theme of this year's conference, “Focusing on East Asia,” is founded on this area’s specific languages, histories, social lives, and cultures different from the Western and shape the unique DH research concerns and topics in East Asia. We welcome submissions on featured topics and researches based on the particularities of languages, texts, and social-historical contexts in East Asia. The aims of this conference are: to engage more researchers to participate in the ongoing dialogs that will eventually lead to the integration of expertise from various disciplines, to stimulate more new research themes, and ultimately to contribute to the growth and flourishing of the East Asia’s research community of Digital Humanities. Topics of interest We invite submissions of abstracts relating (but not limited) to the following aspects of digital humanities, especially encourage papers dealing with texts or data from East Asia (including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia, Vietnam and Southeast Asia): - Development of digital technologies and their applications to help advancing humanities studies (including digital media, data mining, software design, and modeling, etc.). - Interdisciplinary research and humanistic research in literature studies, linguistics, culture, and history that are conducted with the use of digital data or digital technology. - Research related to the impact of digital technologies on social, institutional, and cultural aspects, as well as its impact on globalization and multiculturalism. - Innovative forms of digital arts such as music, film and theatre; and digital applications such as digital design and new media. - Other DH-related topics. Submission Guidelines - The call for papers is open for all who are interested. - All submissions are to be done online (website: http://www.dadh.digital.ntu.edu.tw/up_index.php?LangType=en). - Submitted abstracts should include title, an abstract of 1,000-3,000 words, 3-5 keywords, as well as the author’s name, affiliation & position, contact number, and email. The papers will be reviewed. Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full papers by October 1, 2015. - Publications: A Conference Proceeding will be distributed during the conference. The authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit a revised version after the conference. If accepted, it will be included in the Series on Digital Humanities v. 7 published by the National Taiwan University Press.

Is the problem that we are plagued by Zealots? I rather think the problem is that we are plagued by Sadducees who refuse to countenance that the dead may rise again. The latter analogy is apropos insofar as those who are interested in agent-based simulations see them as instruments to reconstruct, or if you like "revive" ancient or historic patterns that once emerged but are now no more. The analogy with Woodward strikes me as misplaced as he and his contemporaries were rightly concerned with the focus of history and computing on macro social and economic structures at the expense of individual action and experience. Further, they did violence to history by assuming that individual actors were for all practical purposes homogeneous. Individual diversity was erased out of the equation. Agent-based models by contrast assume the heterogeneity of the target populations under study and use that heterogeneity to explain the emergence and persistence of the economic, social and cultural patterns that the given scholar seeks to explain. They provide a basis for exploring the relationship between micro-scale and macro-scale behaviour that scholars previously were unable to plausibly connect due to the limitations in their concepts, mathematical equations, and the computational power situated between their brains. Put simply, those who seek to employ them are appropriating a tool to assist a handicap that has plagued the social sciences and the humanities for quite some time. It isn't the solution for every analytical challenge faced by scholars, but then again what tool is? I see no zealotry here.

We have been reading articles lately that use principal component analysis as a methodology but are having a hard time wrapping our heads around it and fully understanding the significance of their results. These articles don't explain what they are doing very well, and the pieces we've found online on PCA generally have been hard to understand as well. WORD LAB features a speaker either in person or via Skype every couple of weeks from September through May, where we hear about a topic or research project and have a discussion together. We'd be very interested in having someone talk to us about PCA and we could ask some questions and clear up some of our confusion, especially with a concrete example. Would anyone who has used PCA in their research (and doesn't have to be text analysis focused) be interested in joining us for a session in October or November? We meet every Tuesday 1:30-3 pm EST, but could move our meeting that week to accommodate the speaker's schedule. Also, it is nothing too formal -- we like to have discussions rather than presentations. Please get in touch with me directly at mdesjardin@gmail.com if you'd like to join us, or know someone who I might contact. Best Molly -- Molly C.

This programme runs alongside other interdisciplinary and digital humanities PhD programmes at Kent, such as CHASE and Eastern ARC. MaterialWorld@Kent is rooted in the conviction that individual researchers are likely to have or gain special expertise in one or perhaps two of these areas - interrogation, interpretation, invention - but that a sophisticated understanding of all three will enhance their professional development and research. o Interrogate. Answer questions about the nature, construction, age, condition, history, function, and authenticity of materials using a variety of tools and techniques. o Interpret. Consider the meaning and value of heritage sites, artefacts, materials in scientific, cultural, historical, legal, political, social, economic, and philosophical frameworks. o Invent. Create new things: materials themselves; computer generated structures and materials in virtual worlds; and new objects such as works of art and structures such as buildings. There is a programme of conferences, seminars, practicums and opportunities for work experience, supported by the Material Aspects Knowledge Exchange group (MAKE), an interdisciplinary academic community of specialists in materials, material culture, and materiality.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar. About the Program The Research and Development http://www.neh.gov/grants/preservation/research-and-development grant program supports projects that address major challenges in preserving and providing access to humanities collections and resources. Recognizing that singular projects such as a case study or basic research experiment can have far-reaching implications, while longer-term projects demand ongoing planning, this program for the first time will offer 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. 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. Questions about the program may be submitted to preservation@neh.gov and you may follow us @NEH_PresAccess for additional updates and news.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 07:10:01 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: scholars and zealots I take John Bonnett's point about some fine and interesting work in agent-based modelling for the historical disciplines -- and his well-chosen biblical analogy. Generative social science (Joshua Epstein's term) and simulation done in the agent-based style show great promise for many areas of research that concern us. Considering a regular pattern of behaviour, the generativist's question (in Epstein's words, "How could the decentralized local interactions of heterogeneous autonomous agents generate the given regularity?") is a powerful one. This has been clear for the social sciences from the time of Thomas Schelling's "Models of Segregation" in 1969, and indeed for literary studies from the initial efforts to simulate the writing of poetry, which began very early -- and spooked F. R. Leavis among others, thus showing that an important nerve had been touched. The work that Epstein, Robert Axtell and others have done on the Anasazi (published e.g. in PNAS 99.3) shows how successfully the Sadducees have been outwitted, agent-based work by Bogdanovych and others at Western Sydney likewise, indeed Bonnett's own work at Brock. In fact I am arguing now, in a forthcoming book chapter, that agent-based modelling is where our attention should be directed. But in my effort to be brief and provocative I'm afraid I turned a blind eye to all that, meaning to pick out the techno-triumphalist chorus that does not adequately appreciate the difference between promise and fulfilment -- and does not seem to know about the marvellously subversive counterfactual power of simulation. I'm concerned for the slippage between "as if" and "is". Treatment of literature or history *as if* it were a complex system (in the specific and technical sense) can very easily become the assumption that it *is* one. This slippage is, of course, nothing new. One of my favourite remarks on this slippage was tossed out casually in passing by the American neurophysiologist Ralph W. Gerard in 1951, at the Seventh Macy Conference on cybernetics: > It seems to me, in looking back over the history of the group, that > we started our discussion in the "œas if" spirit. Everyone was > delighted to express any idea that came in his mind, whether it > seemed silly or certain or merely a stimulating guess that would > affect someone else. We explored possibilities for all sorts of > "˜ifs."™ Then, rather sharply, it seemed to me, we began to talk in an > "is"™ idiom. We were saying much the same things, but now saying them > as if they were so.... For an assessment of what's been done in history, I'd point to Marten Düring, "The Potential of Agent-Based Modelling for Historical Research", in Paul A. Youngman and Mirsad Hadzikadic, eds., Complexity and
 the Human Experience: Modeling Complexity in the Humanities and Social Sciences (2014). He quotes archaeologist Jim Doran's telling comment: > As regards the future, there is a deep further difficulty that is all > too often overlooked. Distinctive human social structures and social > processes emerge from distinctive human cognition. But we do not yet > know how to model human cognition on a computer in other than > relatively superficial and oversimplified ways. Thus we cannot yet > experiment with the models that really matter: those that capture > more than simple routine cognitive behavior. Archaeology faces this > challenge as do all the social sciences. For help we need to look to > developments in artificial intelligence engineering and in cognitive > science modeling. I'd have us press on with as-if explorations but not lose the plot -- and so become zealots! Comments?

Cross-disciplinary and innovative topics are particularly encouraged. Each course and workshop will consist of five 90 minute sessions, offered daily (Monday-Friday) in a single week. Proposals for two-week courses should be structured and submitted as two independent one-week courses, e.g. as an introductory course followed by an advanced one. In such cases, the ESSLLI programme committee reserves the right to accept just one of the two proposals. All instructional and organizational work at ESSLLI is performed completely on a voluntary basis, so as to keep participation fees to a minimum. However, organizers and instructors have their registration fees waived, and are reimbursed for travel and accommodation expenses up to a level to be determined and communicated with the proposal notification. ESSLLI can only guarantee reimbursement for at most one course/workshop organizer, and can not guarantee full reimbursement of travel costs for lecturers or organizers from outside of Europe. The ESSLLI organizers would appreciate any help in controlling the School's expenses by seeking complete coverage of travel and accommodation expenses from other sources. CATEGORIES Each proposal should fall under one of the following categories. * FOUNDATIONAL COURSES * Such courses are designed to present the basics of a research area, to people with no prior knowledge in that area. They should be of elementary level, without prerequisites in the course's topic, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. They should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course's topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community. * INTRODUCTORY COURSES * Introductory courses are central to ESSLLI's mission. They are intended to introduce a research field to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Such courses should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some comfort and competence in the topic considered. Introductory courses in a cross-disciplinary area may presuppose general knowledge of the related disciplines. * ADVANCED COURSES * Advanced courses are targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a level of comfort and understanding in the current research of a field. * WORKSHOPS * Workshops focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest. Workshops organizers are responsible for soliciting papers and selecting the workshop programme. They are also responsible for publishing proceedings if they decide to have proceedings. PROPOSAL GUIDELINES Course and workshop proposals should follow closely the following guidelines to ensure full consideration. Each course may have no more than two instructors, and each workshop no more than two organizers. All instructors and organizers must possess a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline. Course proposals should mention explicitly the intended course category. Proposals for introductory courses should indicate the intended level, for example as it relates to standard textbooks and monographs in the area. Proposals for advanced courses should specify the prerequisites in detail. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format via: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=esslli2016 and include all of the following: a. Personal information for each proposer: Name, affiliation, contact address, email, homepage (optional) b. General proposal information: Title, category c. Contents information: Abstract of up to 150 words Motivation and description (up to two pages) Tentative outline Expected level and prerequisites Appropriate references (e.g. textbooks, monographs, proceedings, surveys) d.

Last reminder and chance to submit. POST-ANTHROPOCENTRIC CREATIVITY CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS, SPECIAL ISSUE OF DIGITAL CREATIVITY, 27:1, 1/2016 GUEST EDITORS Stanislav Roudavski and Jon McCormack 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 agents , recipients and processes 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 purpose , value , ethics and politics 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 dened 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 ques -tions 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”?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 22 May 2015 13:56:03 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: visualisation In a NYRB review of Martin Rudwick's The Great Devonian Controversy (1985), Stephen Jay Gould points to some illuminating visualisations that depict how the strands of the controversy came together and intermingled. The main impediment to understanding diagrammatic visualisations at the time was, it seems, the passion for quantification, esp. in an historical work (thus "cliometrics"). Gould writes, > I strongly defend Rudwick's narrative style, storytelling in the > grandest mode. Narrative has fallen from fashion; even historians are > supposed to ape the stereotype of physics and be quantitative, or > cliometric. Fine in its place, but not as a fetish. Narrative remains > an art and science of the highest order, but of different form. How > fitting that a book defending the importance of those scientists who > established geological history should also defend so ably the > narrative style of historical writing itself. (Rudwick'™s last chapter > contains several wondrously complex diagrams, outlining the changing > views and their resolution, and the roles of varous actors in the > drama. Some will read these charts as a cliometric excursion. They > will misunderstand Rudwick'™s intent. The charts are not a > quantification; they have no scale except the chronology of years. > One cannot quantify the magnitude of a changed opinion. The charts > are pictorial models of narrative arguments, brilliantly conceived as > epitomes.) > > [New York Review of Books, 27 February 1986] These charts require work but reward it. The reward comes from the visualisation of a conception of history exceedingly hard to do with words, so economically done with a diagram once one understands how to read it -- and how not to read it. But my question brings the visualiser's problem of impediments into the present. What is the main one now? So many visualisations I have seen seem to stand as rhetorical Q.E.D.s, saying to us, "Behold!", but end more in puzzlement than reward us with understanding. Looking at some I wonder, e.g., why is this circular and not rectangular? Why are the elements in it uniformly distributed, not bunched up, or the other way around? What is this visualisation telling me? In one recent case a series of visualisations that I simply could not understand suddenly became brilliantly clear when the author of them explained her intent with a visual analogy. Before that analogy was supplied I was clueless, indeed was annoyed. Edward Tufte (originally an economic historian, I think) has written beautiful volumes on the subject. Has anyone here tried his or her hand with the rhetorics of visualisation or can cite particularly good examples? Comments?

In-Reply-To: <20150523062656.19DCF3A10@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Willard, The thinking about rhetoric in design has a reasonably good pedigree, and some of it applies to visualization. The person sometimes credited with beginning the discussion is Ulm professor Gui Bonsiepe; he was a student of Tomas Maldonado, and if I recall correctly, they began worked together on this in the late 1950s. I'm a bit unclear on the publishing history, but there is a paper here: www.agrayspace.com/KCAI/Rhetoric-Bonsiepe.pdf I think there was a longer version also entitled Visual/Verbal Rhetoric, or maybe it is just a different translation. Anyway, you can pay scrib.com to download a copy. This paper by Gesche Joost, who is an excellent professor of design research at the Berlin University of the Arts, has a good bibliography: www.geschejoost.org/files/design_as_rhetoric.pdf I hope that's useful.

First, it will introduce the Textual Communities system for creating scholarly editions in digital form. Textual Communities allows scholars and scholarly groups to make highest-quality editions in digital form, with minimal specialist computing knowledge and support. It is particularly suited to the making of editions which do not fit the pattern of “digital documentary editions”: that is, editions of works in many manuscripts or versions, or editions of non-authorial manuscripts. Accordingly, Textual Communities includes tools for handling images, page-by-page transcription, collation of multiple versions, project management, and more. See the draft article describing Textual Communities athttps://www.academia.edu/12297061/Some_principles_for_the_making_of_collaborative_scholarly_editions_in_digital_form. Second, it will offer training to transcribers joining the Canterbury Tales project, and to scholars leading transcription teams within the project. The project is undertaking the transcription of all 30,000 pages of the 88 pre-1500 witnesses of the Tales (18000 pages already transcribed but requiring checking; 12000 needing new transcription). Participants will be given accounts within the Textual Communities implementation of the Canterbury Tales project, introduced to the transcription system, and undertake their first transcriptions of pages from the Tales. See http://www.textualcommunities.usask.ca/web/canterbury-tales/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Becoming+a+transcriber. Third, it will offer an introduction to the principles of manuscript transcription for digital editions to any scholars or students considering undertaking a digital edition project based on a manuscript. The materials of the Canterbury Tales project will be used as a starting point for discussion of transcription, supplemented by reference to other textual traditions on which the workshop leaders have worked (including Dante, medieval Spanish and New Testament Greek). This workshop will be useful to scholars undertaking a wide range of digital edition projects, especially of works existing in multiple witnesses. Because both the architect of Textual Communities (Robinson) and its chief programmer (Xiaohan Zhang) will be present, it will be useful also for technical consultants who plan to work with the Textual Communities API. And, of course, it will be useful for transcribers joining the Canterbury Tales project. There is no charge for this workshop, but places will be limited. Please contact Barbara Bordalejo barbara.bordalejo@kuleuven.be or Peter Robinson peter.robinson@usask.ca to confirm attendance.

For those of you who do not live in London, we'll be live-streaming the event at (http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/) Full details below: Title: Virtual Rome: a digital reconstruction of the ancient city Date: 26 May 2015 Time: 5:15 PM (GMT) Venue: John S Cohen Room 203, 2nd floor, IHR, North block, Senate House Speaker: Matthew Nicholls (Reading University) Abstract: Dr Matthew Nicholls of the Department of Classics at the University of Reading has made a detailed digital reconstruction of the city of Rome as it appeared c.AD315. In this talk he will introduce the model and discuss some of the tools and methodology involved in its creation, including questions about date, level of detail, and conjecture. He will then talk about the paedagogical uses of digital modelling and the digital Rome model’s potential as a research tool: current work includes investigation of illumination at specific times of day and year, and sightlines within the ancient city to, from, and between major monuments. Speaker Biography: Matthew Nicholls read Literae Humaniores at St John’s College, Oxford and was a Junior Research Fellow at the Queen’s College, before taking up a lectureship in Classics at Reading where his work includes running an MA in the City of Rome. His research includes the study of ancient books and libraries, including a newly-discovered text by the 2nd C AD medical writer Galen. He is also interested in the digital reconstruction of ancient buildings and places, initially for reaching and outreach work and increasingly for research. His work in this area won the 2014 Guardian/Higher Education Academy national Teaching Excellence award, and he currently holds a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award for work on digital visualisation in the humanities. As part of this scheme he will be running an introductory workshop on software skills for digital visualisation and welcomes enquiries about participation. --- Adam Crymble 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 85EC6679D; Mon, 25 May 2015 07:34:58 +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 AF2B6678A; Mon, 25 May 2015 07:34:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A1068678A; Mon, 25 May 2015 07:34:55 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150525053455.A1068678A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 25 May 2015 07:34:55 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.58 events: measurement 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: <20150525053458.23368.4963@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 58. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 24 May 2015 22:54:04 +0100 From: "Dr E. Tal" Subject: Conference: The Making of Measurement, Cambridge, 23-24 July 2015 Registration is now open for The Making of Measurement, an international conference to be held at the University of Cambridge on 23-24 July 2015. The Making of Measurement is an interdisciplinary conference that seeks to consolidate an emerging international community of scholars interested in the history and/or philosophy of measurement. This new wave of scholarship is still in an embryonic stage and no general conceptual frameworks or schools of thought have yet emerged. Inevitably, tensions exist between methodologically-diverse approaches across the fields of philosophy, history, and sociology of science, particularly with respect to whether measurement outcomes reflect facts about nature, or about human tools and concepts. Hence the goal of this conference to bring together scholars to review recent advances and to identify key issues for further development. This decade is also seeing dramatic changes in the metric system because four scientific units are being redefined in terms of fundamental constants; the contemporary relevance of a systematic approach in the humanities to the study of measurement is therefore particularly strong. Keynote speakers are: Nancy Cartwright, Durham University Graeme Gooday, University of Leeds Terry Quinn, International Bureau of Weights and Measures For more information and to register please visit the conference website: http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/25661 You are invited to visit the conference Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/events/1587762444808375/ With best wishes, Daniel Mitchell Eran Tal Hasok Chang _______________________________________________ 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 E87F96792; Sun, 31 May 2015 11:05:49 +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 B475360E8; Sun, 31 May 2015 11:05:48 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 77C6A65D7; Sun, 31 May 2015 11:05:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150531090544.77C6A65D7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 31 May 2015 11:05:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.59 hiatus past & future 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: <20150531090549.23917.55464@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 59.

It is a cross-disciplinary, cross-institutional project involving researchers from Loughborough, Bath, Exeter, Lincoln and Newcastle Universities. (2) Developing a drought narrative resource in a multi-stakeholder decision-making utility for drought risk management - This research will explore how empirical hydrological and ecosystem science interwoven with narrative resources can be ‘moved’ to share new knowledge with multi-organisational stakeholders to develop ‘critical interventions’ for both decision-making and learning for behavior change. The project is interdisciplinary integrating around the science-narrative theme. The post holder will become a key member of both multi- institutional interdisciplinary research teams. For LIDA, which will take up 75% of the postholder’s time, they will work with researchers from across the team to design, develop and trial creative online interventions and activities, working closely with stakeholder groups and communities. For DRY, which will take up 25% of the postholder’s time, they will take part in the creation, capture and analysis of stakeholder narratives in different case-study catchments, both face-to- face and using social media and digital technology. They will work closely with the existing Loughborough RA on the project and will also share work with a Research Associate from the University of the West of England. May 2015, 16614, evaluated 01/05/2015 They will have a key role in the overall development of the progress of both projects, as a member of the Project Teams.

The application deadline is Sunday June 7th. You can find out more here: http://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=62797&LID=928 The project objectives are: • To digitise data about the evolution of the national landline phone network over time. • To use maps & quantitative measures to examine the changing character/characteristics of the network. • To explore the (uneven) impact of this connectivity on local communities, identities and cultures through, for instance, the spreading of news and coordination of social movements and organisations. • To produce new histories of network development and in so doing, to contribute to contemporary debates about the cultural effects of a network society. • To produce an open access dataset available for future researchers in the humanities, and for the development of interactive online resources for SMG audiences. Within this framework, the student is encouraged to develop and specify the exact nature of the cultural impact that they wish to study. In addition, we anticipate that the student will acquire valuable skills in both ‘digital humanities’ techniques and in the wider application of computational and quantitative approaches to research. Please circulate to anyone who may be interested in applying!

The 2015 program includes case studies from journal publishing, regulatory compliance systems, and large-scale document systems; formatting XML for print and browser-based print formatting; visualizing XML structures and documents. Technical papers cover such topics as: MathML; XSLT; use of XML in government and the humanities; XQuery; design of authoring systems; uses of markup that vary from poetry to spreadsheets to cyber justice; and hyperdocument link management. The conference will be preceded by a one-day symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup. Are you interested in open information, reusable documents, and vendor and application independence? Then you need descriptive markup, and Balisage is the conference you should attend. Balisage brings together document architects, librarians, archivists, computer scientists, XML wizards, XSLT and XQuery programmers, implementers of XSLT and XQuery engines and other markup-related software, Topic-Map enthusiasts, semantic-Web evangelists, standards developers, academics, industrial researchers, government and NGO staff, industrial developers, practitioners, consultants, and the world's greatest concentration of markup theorists. Some participants are busy designing replacements for XML while other still use SGML (and know why they do). Discussion is open, candid, and unashamedly technical.

We will explore the site itself, but will also illustrate how one might make maps http://awmc.unc.edu/wordpress/alacarte/ (for teaching or for publication), run classroom exercises http://pleiades.stoa.org/news/blog/mapping-spartacus (e.g. mapping the path of the Justinianic plague), and allow students to contribute their own research to the site. At the conclusion of the workshop, we hope to open it up to questions and get some feedback on how you use Pleiades to teach. The site already houses almost 35,000 places from the ancient Mediterranean world, but with the help of others within the Pelagios http://pelagios-project.blogspot.com/p/partners.html consortium and Maxim Romanov's digital Islam http://maximromanov.github.io/althurayya/ work, more and more ancient, late antique, and medieval places are being added.

Our theme for UKMW15 is 'Bridging Gaps, Making Connections', and our call for proposals is now open http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/2015/05/14/ukmw15-cfp/. One gap we'd love to see addressed is that between digital humanities practitioners in academia and cultural heritage technologists. Digital technology is everywhere in museums today, and digital expertise spreads throughout museums, from marketing and social media through gallery interactives to online catalogues. Digital can offer value to cultural heritage organisations and their publics, but are we in danger of either missing the gaps in value, or becoming complacent and failing to make new connections? Is digital technology creating distance between museums and less tech-savvy audiences? Are there gaps between our digital departments and the rest of our organisations? Is there a gulf between the increasingly commercial nature of social media and cultural needs? How can we make connections with other (dis)similar organisations and avoid reinventing wheels? What don't we talk about when we talk about museum technology? Help us see the gaps, and where the bridges are being built! We're looking for thought-provoking case studies, collaborations, and provocations or manifestos that address these issues. UKMW15 will show our sector what gaps exist in the world of digital museums, how they're being bridged, and where new connections are being made. Submit your proposal through our online form here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1llZBgTbKmVpk6m77dYF-HnyL4H75EdUUFOuE3k3g9jQ/viewform Key information The UKMW15 call for proposals closes at midnight (London time) on 30 June 2015. Proposals will be reviewed over July and we aim to let people know the results on August 1st. Presentations are generally 15 - 30 minutes. You can get a sense of our previous events through the summary posts we collect after each event: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/category/meetings/meeting-report/ Check our Guidance for speakers http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/meetings/guidance-for-speakers/ page. If you have trouble with the proposal form or questions we haven't answered, then please email contact@museumscomputergroup.org.uk. 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 suggestions for keynote speakers, or would like to help out on our Programme Committee http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/meetings/ukmw-museums-on-the-web/, please drop us a line!

The theme for 2015 is “Infrastructures.” As always, we hope that submissions will engage the theme, although, as always, we warmly welcome submissions on the history of computing and information (broadly conceived) that have no connection to the theme. Please share, tweet, like, fax, photocopy, and cross-post this CFP widely! Full details about submissions, travel grants, etc. are available from http://www.sigcis.org/workshop15. Cheers, Andy Russell SIGCIS Chair https://www.facebook.com/SIGCIS https://twitter.com/SIGCIS http://www.sigcis.org —————————————————————— SIGCIS Workshop 2015: Infrastructures Sunday, October 11, 2015 Albuquerque, New Mexico Deadline for submissions: June 30, 2015 The Special Interest Group for Computers, Information and Society (SIGCIS) welcomes submissions for our annual one-day scholarly workshop to be held on Sunday, October 11, 2015 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 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 SIGCIS 2015 workshop should be addressed to Andrew Russell (Stevens Institute of Technology), who is serving as chair of the workshop organizing committee (e-mail: arussell@stevens.edu). Workshop Theme: Infrastructures Across academic, artistic, and popular domains, curiosity and concern over the information and computing infrastructures that sustain economic, cultural, and social interaction has never been more salient. In contrast to the hype generated by the gadgetry of innovation prophets and venture capitalists, an emphasis on infrastructure highlights networks of labor and focuses on the human, material, and ecological cost and scale of information and computing technologies. For the SIGCIS 2015 Workshop, we invite papers that engage historical dimensions of the prosaic work of building networks, cultivating workforces, and maintaining computing and information infrastructures. Related themes necessarily include maintenance, labor, and ordinary experiences with information and computing technologies. Proposals for individual papers or complete sessions might include the following topics: * the maintenance of legacy hardware and software * the training and treatment of labor and workforces * the lived realities of computers and IT * digital archives and their sustainability * cyberinfrastructures for bureaucratic and scientific collaboration * materiality of computing, media, and information technologies * specific infrastructural technologies such as cables, fiber-optics, switching, and wireless * political and economic aspects of infrastructure maintenance and development * tensions between local or national legal regimes and global information infrastructures As always, SIGCIS welcomes 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, labor history, social history, business history, the history of science, science & technologies studies, communications, media studies, gender and sexuality studies, and museum studies. Suggested Formats for Submissions 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. As we attract submissions from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, it is best to be explicit: SIGCIS follows traditional practices for the submission of papers for professional historical conferences. These include selection based on abstracts rather than full papers; no dissemination of full papers (with the exception of works in progress and dissertations in progress, as noted in the CFP); and the requirement that presenters share their full papers with the session commentators at least 2 weeks prior to the meeting. The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2015; the program committee will send notifications no later than July 15, 2015. For complete details about the workshop, the submissions procedure, travel grants, and previous workshops, please visit http://www.sigcis.org/workshop15. --[7]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 29 May 2015 22:41:40 +0100 From: Dalia Guerreiro Subject: Registration.

Please, send your abstracts by June 30th. We will really appreciate if you could disseminate it to your contacts. Best wishes, María *"New Technologies, Old Methods: Social Sciences and Digital Worlds"* *University of Leicester Sociology Graduate Conference* *(Wednesday 23rd September, 2015)* Digital technologies have transformed the ways in which we interact, participate in policy making, influence social change, and how we perceive and present ourselves to others. Social media, mobile apps, online forums challenge key sociological concepts like the subject, identity, intimacy, authorship and temporality. Subjects -now users- produce data with daily routines through status updates, photo uploads, online payments, browsing history or the use of mobile apps for recreational or sport purposes. This data is stored and made accessible to different agents such as governments, corporations, NGOS or media. This raises ethical issues related to surveillance, data protection, copyrights and privacy. Researchers now face challenges of data access and analysis as well as the absence of validated methods, ethics codes and tools for inquiry into these questions. Moreover, their role as data producers in this new social environment have been displaced by business needs and technological innovations that make data collection and processing possible. The enthusiasm and interest these technologies have generated in social sciences might render invisible other social processes equally urgent and worthy of study, for instance, arising social inequality, persistence of risk society or the role of vulnerable subjects in transnational capitalism. And although the offline activity has a long history of being researched in the social sciences with the use of valid and reliable methods, the appearance of online sphere has created new implications for carrying studies into both spheres.

The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation. In-Reply-To: Dear Colleague, It is with pleasure that I post the first Call for Papers for She Ji. The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation. This is a new journal published by Elsevier in Cooperation with Tongji University Press. We will launch the journal this September. All details follow below. If you have questions or queries regarding a possible article, please contact out Managing Editor, Dr. Jin Ma at: majin.sheji@icloud.com You can also write to me if you have questions. This CFP is attached in .pdf format showing the cover of our first issue. I would be most grateful if you will circulate this call as widely as possible. Best regards, Ken Ken Friedman, PhD, DSc (hc), FDRS | Editor-in-Chief | 设计 She Ji. The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation | Published by Elsevier in Cooperation with Tongji University Press | Launching in 2015 Chair Professor of Design Innovation Studies | College of Design and Innovation | Tongji University | Shanghai, China ||| University Distinguished Professor | Centre for Design Innovation | Swinburne University of Technology | Melbourne, Australia — Call for Papers -- She Ji. The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation. She Ji is a peer-reviewed, trans-disciplinary design journal published by Elsevier in collaboration with Tongji University and Tongji University Press. The first issue will appear in September 2015. She Ji focuses on economics and innovation, design process, and design thinking. Our mission is to enable design innovation in industry, business, non-profit services, and government through economic and social value creation. Innovation requires integrating ideas, economics, and technology to create new knowledge at the intersection of different fields. She Ji provides a unique forum for this interdisciplinary inquiry. She Ji addresses how societies, organizations, and individuals create, build, distribute, use, and enjoy goods and services, with an added focus on strategy and management. The journal also explores the way that organisations increasingly use design thinking to achieve organisational goals, and the journal examines how design thinking can inform wider social, managerial, and intellectual discourses. She Ji also publishes articles in research methods and methodology, philosophy, and philosophy of science to support the core journal area. She Ji invites papers on topics within our remit. Articles of interest might cover such issues as: – Design-driven innovation for social and economic change – Design practices in management, consulting, and public service – Alternative economies and industrial transformation – Design for smart and sustainable living – Latest design theories – Methods and methodologies for design research – Design for social innovation, organisational change, and education – Design, computation, and algorithms – Cultural aspects of design and innovation – Philosophy of design – Philosophy of science in design research In particular, She Ji encourages three new dimensions in the literature of design and innovation: (1) serious economic inquiry and management inquiry; (2) rigorous research in design using the methods of the natural sciences, social sciences, and economics; (3) methodological contributions that deploy innovative research methods and processes. She Ji publishes seven types of articles: 1) Original research articles. She Ji welcomes conceptual, theoretical, and empirical articles. All research articles are subject to double-blind peer review. Following peer review, She Ji works with authors on a final round of copy editing to ensure highly readable articles that will reach and influence a wide audience of scholars, researchers, and professional designers, teachers and students, as well as leaders in business, industry, and government. 2) Review articles. She Ji encourages literature review and research review articles. Review articles use double-blind peer review followed by copy editing. 3) Case studies. She Ji publishes two kinds of case study articles. The journal welcomes original research articles involving rigorous case studies and reflection. Research case studies use double-blind peer review. The journal also welcomes short case reports in the short communications category. 4) Short communications. She Ji welcomes short reports or research announcements that describe work in progress with preliminary research results. Short communications are not subject to peer review. 5) Book reviews. Books reviews focus on analysis and discussion of individual books as well as extended book reviews covering several books. She Ji also publishes short book notes. Book reviews are not subject to peer review. 6) Discussion articles. Discussion articles include interviews, opinion leader commentary, and dialogues. Discussion articles are not subject to peer review. 7) Letters. She Ji encourages written responses to articles and original comments on issues relevant to the journal. Letters to the editor are limited to 1,500 words. All letters commenting on articles will be sent to the author of the original article for response. Selected letters will be published in She Ji. Letters are not subject to peer review. She Ji is fully open access. Tongji University and Tongji University Press support She Ji as a contribution to the design field and a public service to design research. We do not charge author fees and all published articles are accessible free of charge from the journal web site. To submit articles to She Ji, please go to the She Ji Web site at URL: http://www.elsevier.com/journals/she-ji-the-journal-ofdesign-economics-and-innovation/2405-8726 Please direct questions and correspondence to the Managing Editor, Dr. Jin Ma: majin.sheji@icloud.com — Our Editors and Reviewers She Ji has a distinguished Editorial Board of editors from Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia.

Also former Erasmus-students or student / researchers of Universities of Applied Science, Art or Music Schools qualify as alumni / alumnae as long as they have spent altogether 3 months of their life at academic institutions in Germany * The University of Leipzig through its International Centre makes available up to 10 bursaries for members of its Eastern European partner universities. * CLARIN-DE makes available up to 13 fellowships which cover tuition fees. If funding allows an allowance of up to € 200 will be granted to cover costs of living. * The Electronic Textual Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria (etcl), in conjunction with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute offers up to 5 tuition fellowships for international graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. As ESU DH C & T is a member of the /International Digital Humanities Training Network/ courses taken at the Summer University are eligible for transfer credit towards the University of Victoria Graduate Certificate in DH (http://english.uvic.ca/graduate/digital_humanities.html). The Summer University 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. 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. 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).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 31 May 2015 13:54:20 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: good questions for digital literary studies In a very recent article, "Novel devotions: Conversational reading, computational modeling, and the modern novel", Andrew Piper (McGill), asks a series of very interesting questions: > What would it mean for a novel to turn us as we turn its pages? How > are we not simply moved, but transformed --“ turned around --“ through > the novel'™s combination of gestural and affective structures? How > might we think, in other words, about the correspondences between the > novel'™s technics and its tropes in its ability to assume meaning for > us as a genre at a profound personal level? His aim, he says, > is to begin the long overdue process of reflection on the act of > computational modeling --“ as the construction of a hypothetical > structure that mediates our relationship to texts -- and the ways in > which such models are themselves both circular and conversional in > nature. Such reflection is most welcome, even if (as some of the writings of people here will attest) it has hardly been ignored in the literature of digital humanities for the last decade. Reflection on modelling is urgent, I think, but not overdue. I am at the moment unable to read Piper's article with the attention it deserves -- and it does appear deserving -- but I hope you find the time and have something to say on the subject. The article has just been published in New Literary History 46.1, online via Project MUSE, and is available from his site, http://piperlab.mcgill.ca/pdfs/Piper_NovelConversions_Preprint.pdf. Piper's article implies that we who are primarily in digital humanities do have a problem communicating our work to those who come to the field from outside it. I wonder, do colleagues in the older disciplines realise that there's a considerable body of relevant work done in a now thriving field? Do they take a look only to be confronted by too much technical language? Do they assume that nothing of much interest in its conference papers, journals and books is to be found? Or do colleagues assume in effect that "digital humanities" is a plural noun denoting subsets of traditional disciplines, each subset as much its own separate world as the discipline in which it is found? Where (to echo Alan Liu) is the critical interdisciplinary awareness in the humanities? Since Humanists includes many non-specialists, perhaps even in the majority, I'd suppose this is a good place to ask the question of how better we might communicate. What's wrong? Comments?

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 SIGCIS 2015 workshop should be addressed to Andrew Russell (Stevens Institute of Technology), who is serving as chair of the workshop organizing committee (e-mail: arussell@stevens.edu ). Workshop Theme: Infrastructures Across academic, artistic, and popular domains, curiosity and concern over the information and computing /infrastructures/ that sustain economic, cultural, and social interaction has never been more salient. In contrast to the hype generated by the gadgetry of innovation prophets and venture capitalists, an emphasis on infrastructure highlights networks of labor and focuses on the human, material, and ecological cost and scale of information and computing technologies. For the SIGCIS 2015 Workshop, we invite papers that engage historical dimensions of the prosaic work of building networks, cultivating workforces, and maintaining computing and information infrastructures. Related themes necessarily include maintenance, labor, and ordinary experiences with information and computing technologies. Proposals for individual papers or complete sessions might include the following topics: -- the maintenance of legacy hardware and software -- the training and treatment of labor and workforces -- the lived realities of computers and IT -- digital archives and their sustainability -- cyberinfrastructures for bureaucratic and scientific collaboration -- materiality of computing, media, and information technologies -- specific infrastructural technologies such as cables, fiber-optics, switching, and wireless -- political and economic aspects of infrastructure maintenance and development -- tensions between local or national legal regimes and global information infrastructures As always, SIGCIS welcomes 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, labor history, social history, business history, the history of science, science & technologies studies, communications, media studies, gender and sexuality studies, and museum studies. Suggested Formats for Submissions 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. As we attract submissions from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, it is best to be explicit: SIGCIS follows traditional practices for the submission of papers for professional historical conferences. These include selection based on abstracts rather than full papers; no dissemination of full papers (with the exception of works in progress and dissertations in progress, as noted in the CFP); and the requirement that presenters share their full papers with the session commentators at least 2 weeks prior to the meeting. The deadline for submissions is June 30, 2015; the program committee will send notifications no later than July 15, 2015. For complete details about the workshop, the submissions procedure, travel grants, and previous workshops, please visit http://www.sigcis.org/workshop15. _______________________________________________ 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 4309D629F; Wed, 3 Jun 2015 19:10:08 +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 BB8AF611C; Wed, 3 Jun 2015 19:10:06 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C38CADD0; Wed, 3 Jun 2015 19:10:04 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150603171004.C38CADD0@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2015 19:10:04 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.71 problem now solved (?)

In this paper I will consider the potential and limitations of using these lumps of mud, through the construction of digital databases and statistical analysis, to reconstruct these lost archives, and to understand the imperial structures of the Seleukid power.

An interdisciplinary conference ------------------------------------------------------------ University of Plymouth 3 – 5th August 2015 Organised in collaboration with the Tourism Committee of the Royal Anthropological Institute ** Call for papers ------------------------------------------------------------ From the early days of the Grand Tour and the collecting of paintings and drawings, to the advent of the first still and movie cameras, via postcards, travel posters and travel documentaries to our contemporary use of digital cameras, camcorders, camera phones and travel blogs, tourism has always been intertwined with the technology of visual imagery. The use of such technology is more than a means to simply record and remember events and places, as it is embedded in complex social practices that encompass notions of both private and cultural memory as much as the creation and consumption of leisure time/spaces. The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to examine the relationship between tourism, personal and cultural memory and the technologies of visual imagery in a number of interrelated ways: first, to focus on the social practices involved in the production and consumption of tourist imagery in both contemporary and historical contexts; and secondly, to address the relationship between public and private memory and tourist imagery, and thirdly, to address the use of visual methods in tourism research. Possible themes include film and TV tourism, including documentaries and films about tourism; the ways in which the visual informs tourist behaviour; the use of personal photographs, home movies and videos; the use of digital images in travel blogs; using photography and video as a research method; analysing photo and film archives and tourism history; analysing postcards and visual memorabilia such as travel posters and other ephemera. We welcome contributions from a range of disciplines including filmmakers/video producers and photographers who have focussed on tourism or who have worked with the tourism industry in the production of visual promotional material. Submissions: Abstracts of no more than 250 words can be submitted to members of the organising committee by June 26th on the email addresses below.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2015 18:14:15 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: curiosity, intelligence, skill Recently I had the good fortune to be taken by friends to the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker, Friesland, in the Netherlands. This planetarium was built by the Dutch wool-carder Eise Eisinga between 1774 and 1781 in the living-room of his house. It replaced his ceiling; its intricate mechanism is in the loft. It works to this day. It is made of oak, lead weights and, it is said, 10,000 nails. He made it to show his fellow citizens of Franeker that an unusual conjunction of planets (a syzygy, as it's called) on 8 May 1774 did not betoken the total destruction of the earth. For more on this see http://www.planetarium-friesland.nl/en/. If you've ever had work done to your house or done it yourself, you can infer the admirable toleration of Eisinga's family while the thing was being constructed. All very interesting, but what I carried away from the Frisian 18C planetarium for Humanist were some examples of ordinary working men, Eisinga the wool-carder and several others, who learned sufficient mathematics, physics and engineering skills, while making a humble living (as we might consider it), to build scientific instruments and explore as much of the universe as could be seen by them. Eise Eisinga's teacher was Wytze Foppes, born 16 September 1707, a carpenter by trade, who "was initiated into the secrets of mathematics and astronomy by a surveyor.... Foppes trained himself in making astronomical instruments and instructed Eise Eisinga. He also wrote various booklets and articles." Another. "Arjen Roelofs was born in Hijum on 31 March 1754. Together with two of his brothers, Pieter and Albert, he worked on his father's farm. All three brothers were fascinated by subjects such as mathematics and physics. Even during their work in the fields they recorded their observations -- on the handles of their wooden tools or on wooden doors. The brothers also made meteorological observations and built their own thermometers and barometers. And they used a kite to investigate lightning.... Arjen was the most gifted.... Despite the fact that he had attended the village school for only a few years, he could solve all kinds of problems in the fields of mathematics and physics. He also calculated the timing of many astronomical phenomena such as solar and lunar eclipses between 1778 and 1820." Curiosity, intelligence, what the Germans call Fingerspitzengefühl and much more. Perhaps our surprise to find these virtues so brilliantly manifested in Frisian working men says more about us, or as much, as it does about them?

Applications should be sent by email to and must be received no later than 17:30 GMT+1 on Wednesday 17 June. SCHOLARSHIP The recipient of the scholarship will be informed no later than Monday 22 June and will be required to confirm their attendance by Tuesday 23 June. The recipient of the scholarship will also be required to write a report of the workshop for which we will find a publisher. The scholarship covers the full registration fee for the Summer School and the cost of accommodation at St. Anne's College. It will not cover any further expenses such as travel and subsistence. DIGITAL MUSICOLOGY WORKSHOP: Applied computational and informatics methods for enhancing musicology Dates: 20--24 July 2015 http://dhoxss.humanities.ox.ac.uk/2015/digitalmusicology.html A wealth of music and music-related information is now available digitally, offering tantalizing possibilities for digital musicologies. These resources include large collections of audio and scores, bibliographic and biographic data, and performance ephemera -- not to mention the 'hidden' existence of these in other digital content. With such large and wide ranging opportunities come new challenges in methods, principally in adapting technological solutions to assist musicologists in identifying, studying, and disseminating scholarly insights from amongst this 'data deluge'. This workshop provides an introduction to computational and informatics methods that can be, and have been, successfully applied to musicology. Many of these techniques have their foundations in computer science, library and information science, mathematics and most recently Music Information Retrieval (MIR); sessions are delivered by expert practitioners from these fields and presented in the context of their collaborations with musicologists, and by musicologists relating their experiences of these multidisciplinary investigations. The workshop comprises of a series of lectures and hands-on sessions, supplemented with reports from musicology research exemplars. Theoretical lectures are paired with practical sessions in which attendees are guided through their own exploration of the topics and tools covered.

HILT 2015 is delighted to announce that the HathiTrust Research Center will be offering two free workshops for registered attendees at HILT (July 27-31, 2015). You can register for HILT and the HTRC Workshops by visiting: https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/?eventid=1684311 Workshop 1 (Tuesday July 28th, 6-9 PM). Introduction to the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC): Teaching and research using the power of data and metadata in large text corpora. The HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) will conduct an introductory workshop for researchers and instructors in the humanities, and for librarians, on how to create and use datasets drawn from large-scale textual corpora for the purposes of instruction and research in the humanities. The workshop will introduce the text data which constitute the holdings of the 13.3 million-volume HathiTrust Digital Library (HTDL). The HTRC is engaged in developing innovative analytic digital humanities applications to facilitate the use of this content. The tools and services that are being developed by the HTRC as part of this initiative will be introduced and discussed at the workshop. This workshop will focus on pre-1923 (out-of-copyright) material from the HTDL corpus. In course of the workshop, attendees will learn, through demonstrations and hands-on use, how to leverage the following resources: * the HathiTrust+Bookworm tool for plotting lexical trends in text data * the Secure Hathi Analytics Research Commons (SHARC), an environment for running off-the-shelf algorithms provided by the HTRC. The workshop will include discussion about strategies for integrating text analytics into traditional courses and curricula in the service of humanistic inquiry. Workshop 2 (Wednesday July 29th, 6-8 PM). Advanced Topics in Text Analysis with the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC). This workshop session will focus on advanced topics relating to making use of text data at scale through the HathiTrust Research Center’s Extracted Features dataset. A great deal of useful research can be performed non-consumptively with pre-extracted features. This session will demonstrate how users (researchers and instructors in the humanities) can work with the extracted features that are being provided by the HTRC as data exports corresponding to user-defined subcollections that are created by the users themselves. Workshop attendees will learn how they can follow a non-consumptive paradigm in preparation for conducting analysis against works in copyright. They will also learn advanced skills that build on concepts introduced at the beginners’ workshop session, such as how to re-purpose existing algorithms and how to adapt the resources provided to meet research and teaching objectives. We've got an exciting slate of classes taught by incredible instructors. Courses for HILT 2015 include: CROWDSOURCING CULTURAL HERITAGE led by Mia Ridge and Ben Brumfield Successful crowdsourcing projects help organizations connect with audiences who enjoy engaging with their content and tasks, whether transcribing handwritten documents, correcting OCR errors, identifying animals on the Serengeti or folding proteins. Conversely, poorly-designed crowdsourcing projects find it difficult to attract or retain participants. This class will present international case studies of best practice crowdsourcing projects to illustrate the range of tasks that can be crowdsourced, the motivations of participants and the characteristics of well-designed projects. We’ll study crowdsourcing projects from the worlds of citizen science, investigative journalism, genealogy and free culture to look for lessons which might apply to humanities projects. We’ll discuss models for quality control over user-generated projects, explore the cross-overs between traditional in-house volunteer projects internet-enabled crowdsourcing, and look at the numbers behind real-world projects. Finally, the course will give students hands-on experience with several different crowdsourcing platforms for image annotation, manuscript transcription, and OCR correction. Students are encouraged to bring their project ideas and some scanned material for the lab sessions. DE/POST/COLONIAL DIGITAL HUMANITIES led by Roopika Risam and micha cárdenas “…we must discuss, we must invent…” —Frantz Fanon, The Wretched of the Earth >From Sandra Harding’s interventions in postcolonial science studies to Radhika Gajjala’s articulation of digital subalternity to Kavita Philip’s work on postcolonial computing, postcolonial approaches to technology have provoked lively discussion. New conversations have emerged around essential questions: can the digital be “decolonized?”; what are the limits of decolonial, postcolonial, or anti-colonial approaches to digital cultures?; and how can these theoretical approaches be marshaled to build communities, tools, and justice? Together, we will explore these questions at the intersections of theory and praxis as we consider how tools can be theorized, hacked, and used in service of decolonization. This course undertakes this task through three goals: 1) learning about, understanding, analyzing the history and present processes of colonization, decolonization, neocolonialism and the postcolonial, with attention to local, hemispheric and global contexts; 2) analyzing digital technologies, with attention to how they intersect with humanities disciplines such as art, literature and performance, and how they produce, reproduce or enact processes of colonization; and 3) inventing new and/or alternative technologies, or new uses of existing technologies, that work against colonization and post-colonial legacies that maintain social injustice. Our days will be spent engaging with theory, hands-on experimentation, and reflection on practice. Theoretical topics may include digital labor, subalternity, embodiment, and aesthetics. Applied activities may include Scalar-based game design, mobile media/film/photography, digital exhibits, and mapping. In the spirit of our theoretical approach, we emphasize accessiblity and low-cost technology, as well as creativity and interpretation. Therefore, no prior experience with theory or practice is required, just an openness to discuss and invent the theories and practices of De/Post/Colonial Digital Humanities. DIGITAL ACCESSIBILITY: DESIGNING AND ADAPTING PROJECTS FOR ALL USERS led by George Williams and Erin Templeton In order to successfully reach a wide audience, digital projects must take into account the variety of potential users and their diverse needs.. Not everyone accesses information in the same way, though we often assume otherwise. For example, people with disabilities of many different kinds–sensory, physical, and cognitive–represent a significant percentage of users for many digital projects, but most of these projects are designed without thinking about accessibility. However, digital humanists can ensure that they are designing for all users by taking accessibility into account from the beginning of a project. And existing projects can be adapted to improve their accessibility. This course will take a two-fold approach: students will read and discuss key works from disability studies scholarship in order to consider various applications for the digital humanities; these readings will form a critical framework for students’ hands-on work with tools that enable them to evaluate and create scholarly digital resources. Mornings will involve readings-based discussions on topics such as emerging standards for accessibility in digital environments, the social model of disability, user-centered design, and embodiment. Afternoons will be reserved for guided individual exercises and small-group work. Students are encouraged to bring their own projects or project ideas in order to evaluate them for accessibility and to make or plan changes as appropriate. Knowledge of and experience with web design is not required, but curiosity and a willingness to learn are a necessity. DIGITAL PEDAGOGY AND NETWORKED LEARNING led by Lee Skallerup-Bessette and Jesse Stommel Many argue digital humanities is about building stuff and sharing stuff, reframing the work we do in the humanities as less consumptive and more curatorial—less solitary and more collaborative. In this workshop, participants will experiment with ways technology can be used to build learning communities within the classroom, while also thinking about how we can connect our students to a much larger global classroom. We’ll start at the level of the syllabus, thinking about how we organize and structure hybrid courses and digital assignments, before delving into specific tools and critical orientations to technology. Participants should expect that the workshop will be hands-on, collaborative, and iterative; we will be using and building, experimenting with the pedagogy we are learning, making our learning environment as we go. The course has no prerequisites. We will work together across skill levels, experimenting with new tools, while adapting and remixing our pedagogies. This isn’t about digital tricks or gimmicks, but a profound re-examination of how we teach. The best digital tools inspire us, often to use them in ways the designer couldn’t anticipate. The worst digital tools attempt to dictate our pedagogies, determining what we can do with them and for whom. The digital pedagogue teaches her tools, doesn’t let them teach her. DIGITAL STORYTELLING led by Jarom McDonald When YouTube launched to the public in 2005, the now-ubiquitous red play-button logo contained a simple yet powerful tagline, “Broadcast Yourself.” Inherent in such an imperative is a concept that’s at the core of this course — in today’s wired world, digital video is a powerful storytelling medium, one that can influence constructions of identity, community, culture, and the nature of narrative itself. In this course, we’ll explore the interactivity and narrative of digital video by positioning it as a tool for seeing, exploring, expressing and critiquing within the digital Humanities. We will look at the various forms of dynamic storytelling, investigate the history of the video medium and what bearing it plays on the broadcast zeitgeist of today, explore formal techniques of digital storytelling including subjectivity, sequencing and transitioning, rhythm and repetition, interactivity, linearity, and meta-narration, tackle analytic tasks such as video annotation and video data analysis, and grapple with the physics of representing moving images in digital form. We will also emphasize, in addition to understanding the theories and specificities of digital video, how we might start acquiring production skills — including exposure to multimedia editing tools, working with codecs and compression, and, of course, leveraging online video dissemination channels such as YouTube. Ultimately, this class allows for students to begin to develop a critical perspective of engaging with digital video in the Humanities as a way to articulate fundamental, narrative-driven application of these rapidly changing paradigms. Students will need to bring with them a new-ish laptop and a cell-phone (or other portable device) capable of shooting video, but no other equipment is needed nor knowledge assumed. GETTING STARTED WITH DATA, TOOLS, AND PLATFORMS led by Brandon Locke, Thomas Padilla, and Dean Rehberger Starting a digital humanities research project can be quite intimidating. This course is designed to make that process less so by exploring tools and platforms that support digital humanities research, analysis, and publication. We will begin by reframing sources as data that enable digital research. We will work throughout the week on approaches to (1) finding, evaluating, and acquiring (2) cleaning and preparing (3) exploring (4) analyzing (5) communicating and sharing data. Emphasis will be placed across all stages on how to manage a beginner digital research project in such a way that helps to ensure that your project remains accessible, that the process is well documented, and that the data are reusable. Throughout this course, we will examine several existing projects, and move through the process of collecting, cleaning, and structuring humanities data and sources and plugging them into tools and platforms to analyze, visualize, share, and publish the data and analysis. Exploration of these stages of project-building will include a technical walk-through, as well as an examination of the tools and their underlying methodologies. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own research material to work with, but sample data will be provided. HUMANITIES DATA CURATION PRAXIS led by Trevor Muñoz and Katie Rawson This course is for people who have or are making textured, rich humanities data and want to be able to use, share, and preserve their information. We will take a multi-faceted approach to the challenges of curating data that integrates * immediate, practical concerns of preparing, transforming, and analyzing data, * strategic tasks of mapping data models and developing maintenance plans, * and foundational thinking about the role of data curation in research. We will move between hands-on work with data sets and tools to discussions about the nature of data curation. Working with the tools like IPython notebooks and OpenRefine and with open data sets in a variety of formats from institutions like the Metropolitan Museum and the Digital Public Library of America, we will explore topics such as defining data quality and identifying data problems; translating data models between different systems; developing best practices for data reuse and interchange. Participants will be able to use data from their own research or work with practice sets we will supply. We ask that people who take this course have some experience using open source software, including reading technical documentation and help forums, and that they have a basic understanding of programming (e.g. what is a variable, some familiarity with loops, etc.). Please contact the instructors if you need guidance in attaining these prerequisites in time for HILT. HUMANITIES PROGRAMMING led by Brandon Walsh and Wayne Graham This course focuses on introducing participants to humanities programming through the creation and use of the Ruby on Rails web application framework. This course will introduce programming and design concepts, project management and planning, workflow, as well as the design, implementation, and deployment of a web-based application. Technologies covered in this course will include git, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Rails, and relational (and non-relational) data stores. Over the course of the week, we will work through the practical implementation of a developing and deploying a small-scale web application. LARGE-SCALE TEXT ANALYSIS WITH R led by Mark Algee-Hewitt Text mining, the practice of using computational and statistical analysis on large collections of digitized text, is becoming an increasingly important way of extracting meaning from writing. Whether working on survey data, medical records, political speeches or even digitized collections of historical writing, we are now able to use the power of computational algorithms to extract patterns from vast quantities of textual data. This technique gives us information we could never access by simply reading the texts. But determining which patterns have meaning and which answer key questions about our data is a difficult task, both conceptually and methodologically; particularly for those who work in the humanities who are able to benefit the most from these methods. Large-Scale Text Analysis with R will provide an introduction to the methods of text mining using the open source software Environment “R”. In this course, we will explore the different methods through which text mining can be used to “read” text in new ways: including authorship attribution, sentiment analysis, genre studies and named entity extraction. At the same time, our focus will also be on the analysis and interpretation of our results. How do we formulate research questions and hypothesis about text that can be answered quantitatively? Which methods fit particular needs best? And how can we use the numerical output of a text analysis to explain features of the texts in ways that make sense to a wider audience? While no programming experience is required, students should have basic computer skills and be familiar with their computer’s file system. Participants will be given a “sample corpora” to use in class exercises, but some class time will be available for independent work and participants are encouraged to bring their own text corpora and research questions so they may apply their newly learned skills to projects of their own. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT led by Simon Appleford and Jennifer Guiliano This course will explore the fundamentals of project planning and design including, but not limited to: formulating appropriate disciplinary questions for digital humanities research, investigating digital humanities tools and resources, structuring your first project, critical path scheduling, understanding roles and responsibilities, risk management, documenting your project work, writing your first grant proposal, budget setting and controls, building the project team, and selecting and implementing project management tools and software. This is an advanced course and, as such, you are expected to have an understanding of the definition of digital humanities. Materials will be covered through lectures, discussions, presentations, and hands-on activities. Participants will get the most from the course if they arrive with at least some sense of a potential digital humanities project that they would like to develop throughout the week.

Increasingly, researchers are rendering major linguistic resources, including annotated corpora, lexicons, databases, and ontologies, in a format to enable their exploitation in the Semantic Web. Linking the contents of these resources to each other as well as to common ontologies can enable access to and discovery of detailed linguistic information, which would be otherwise impossible, and which could, in turn, foster a major leap in NLP research and development. At the same time, the movement toward open data is growing in the field of NLP. For years, research has been constrained by limited access to corpora, lexicons, and other language resources due to licensing requirements. Researchers and data holders alike are now seeking ways to provide open access to these data in order to promote unfettered use, reuse, and enhancement of common datasets throughout the field. EUROLAN 2015 will provide a comprehensive overview of Linguistic Linked Open Data, including introduction to the formalisms for representing linguistic resources using Semantic Web technologies such as the Resource Description Format (RDF) and the Ontology Web Language (OWL), as well as means to extract knowledge from language resources and exploit it using Semantic Web query languages and reasoning capabilities.Specific topics treated in the school include, but are not limited to: • Introduction to the semantic web, linked data and knowledge graphs • Extracting and integrating knowledge on the web from text, semi-structured and structured data • Ontologies and reasoning • Query systems using SPARQL • Design of domain specific query languages • Linguistic annotations as linked data • Annotation interoperability • Taxonomy extraction • BabelNet as linked data • Lexicographic linked data LECTURERS --------- Paul Buitelaar (National University of Ireland, Galway, Ireland) Steve Cassidy (Macquarie University, Australia) Christian Chiarcos (Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main, Germany) Dan Cristea ("Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iași, Romania) Asuncion Gomez-Perez (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Spain) Nancy Ide (Vassar College, New York, USA) John McCrae (University of Bielefeld in Bielefeld, Germany) Gerard de Melo (Tsinghua University, China) Roberto Navigli (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy) Dan Tufiș (Romanian Academy, Bucharest, Romania) Michael Zock (Université Aix-Marseille, France) REGISTRATION ——------———— Registration fee includes attendance at all tutorials, supporting materials, coffee breaks, and, for the first two columns, meals and accommodation in the ULSB premises for the whole School's period.

Conference attendees need to register and purchase tickets for special meals by June 8. After June 8, banquet and ADE breakfast tickets will no longer be available and the registration fee will increase. To register, please go to http://adests2015.unl.edu/. Also, the special rate for conference guests at the Embassy Suites in downtown Lincoln (also the site of most of the conference sessions) officially expired on May 24. However, the hotel has graciously agreed to extend the rate to ADE/STS conference guests while rooms remain available. If you have not yet made a reservation for the hotel, we suggest you do so as soon as possible. To get the discounted rate, though, you'll need to make the reservation by emailing Danielle Hergenrader at danielle.hergenrader@jqh.com. In your email, let Danielle know that you are booking as part of the ADE/STS conference and she will make sure you get the appropriate rate. Danielle works Monday through Friday, 8:00-5:00 p.m. CST. You may want to take this into consideration if you write to her. It is our understanding that the hotel expects to sell out the nights of the conference due to a major sporting event in Omaha, which may also put pressure on other local area hotels, so we recommend you make reservations immediately if you have not already done so. We look forward to seeing you in Lincoln in a couple of weeks.

A significant portion of the personal archives of Elisabeth Mann Borgese have been digitized and made available online via the Elisabeth Mann Borgese finding aid: http://findingaids.library.dal.ca/elisabeth-mann-borgese-fonds The collection documents Mann Borgese's significant contributions to international oceans policy, her teaching and research activities, and her personal life. Digitized materials include the administrative records of the International Centre for Ocean Development and the International Ocean Institute, publications and speeches, and personal records. The collection is a particularly good source for the study of the diplomatic negotiations that produced the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. Over 2,000 folders of archival textual records and photographs have been scanned to date. This digitization work produced over 120,000 high-quality TIFF files, more than 11 TB of data. The TIFF files for each folder of textual records were compressed and compiled into PDFs using a custom server script developed by the Dalhousie Libraries' IT services office. The text of each PDF was then recognized using ABBYY FineReader optical character recognition software. The PDFs have been embedded in the finding aid, which has been created using national and international standards for archival description. The result is a rich body of fully-searchable digital archival material that can be searched or browsed through the Dalhousie University Archives catalogue from anywhere in the world. The finding aid is published online using the open-source Access to Memory application developed by Artefactual Systems. PDFs will continue to be uploaded through mid-July. The Archives is in the process of digitizing a number of sound recordings and moving images that will be included with the online finding aid and/or uploaded to the University Archives' YouTube channel. The project team includes Project Manager John Yolkowski, former Digitization Specialist Krista Jamieson, current Digitization Specialist Kevin Hartford, and Student Assistant Jocelyn Wedel. You can read more about Mann Borgese and the digitization project on the Dalhousie Libraries' blog: https://blogs.dal.ca/libraries/2015/05/learn-more-about-a-key-figure-in-ocean-studies-check-out-the-elisabeth-mann-borgese-finding-aid/. This collection has attracted international researchers to Halifax, Nova Scotia and we are now pleased to provide online access to this material for local and distance researchers. This is the first archives digitization project of this scale to be completed at the Dalhousie University Libraries. We are eager to "adopt" this digitization project methodology to other projects and welcome comments and feedback on this new digital resource.

Volunteers will work in teams of three or four people, with each team supported by an experienced facilitator. Teams will start in the week commencing June 22nd 2015 and June 29th 2015. Volunteers who have already signed up for this summer's programme include a PhD candidate at the University of Tilburg in the Netherlands, a lecturer in Early Modern History at Birkbeck College London, an Oxford undergraduate historian, and a landscape historian who undertakes freelance historical research. Past volunteers include a former mariner with over twenty-five years experience navigating the oceans, university students, advanced high school students, archivists and a re-enactment enthusiast, and have been located in the United States, Italy and Belgium as well as the United Kingdom Volunteers will work from their homes or universities using our online resources, which include digital images of manuscripts and wiki based training material. Each team gets together weekly for a team Skype call or Google hangout to discuss progress, to ask questions, and to set goals for the following week. In terms of the content we will be working on, we will tackle the completion of HCA 13/124 (personal answers by the principal defendants in Admiralty Court cases: http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/HCA_13/124) and may also have a go at some of HCA 13/46 (and HCA Act Book: http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/HCA_3/46) and HCA 13/73 (an HCA book of depositions for 1659 and 1660: http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/HCA_13/73).

During these experiences I became progressively unable of drawing a line between my academic activity as a scholar and my social engagement as a humanist and social scientist. That's why I insisted on asking Willard to send this email, although I realize it may sound off-topic to some list members. Since 2009 I have been involved with an Italian NPO working in India and Nepal (http://www.ilmondodelleidee.it/?lang=en). In particular, this NPO is concerned with education in a multicultural and inter-religious world. Together with other volunteers of the NPO I travelled to Katmandu and Pokhara in 2010 and 2012 and I had the opportunity to admire the competence, passion and honesty of this group of incredible people who are now gathering funds for a range of initiatives connected to the recent earthquake. I am aware that requests for help are constant, and it is not easy to orient oneself, but if further reassurance is required, I personally, taking advantage of a sabatical this year, will be in Nepal in October to assist them in their work. Thus, I will be able to report back what I have seen and the nature of our intervention. Our friends and local collaborators are safe and sound, but the effects of the second tremor two weeks were devastating. Besides the thousands of dead - we will never know the real figures, given the "invisibility" of the poor - many stunning medieval sights in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur (the village where Bertolucci shot Little Buddha) are now just rubble. It is as if an earthquake had flattened Italian historical cities like Pisa, Arezzo e Siena all at the same time. The Boudhanath Stupa, one of Tibetan Buddhism's most important monuments, is now a pile of stones. The same goes for many other UNESCO sites. To get an idea of how things were and are now, have a look at the following photos: http://thinkprogress.org/world/2015/04/26/3651327/nepal-earthquake/ You can find more information about the NPO (in English) here: http://www.ilmondodelleidee.it/?lang=en An interview (in Italian) about the present situation in Nepal with Viola Padovani, the founder of the NPO, is available here: http://vociglobali.it/2015/05/09/nepal-piccole-onlus-che-arrivano-dove-i-grandi-aiuti-si-fermano/ If you are interested in our ongoing aid iniatives, please contact me off list or go to the web site. Grateful for any small nugget of help you'll be able to provide... Yours, Domenico Fiormonte --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 12:32:26 +0200 From: Gregory Crane Subject: The Big Humanities, National Identity and the Digital Humanities in Germany The Big Humanities, National Identity and the Digital Humanities in Germany Abstract: National funding agencies have a natural tendency, indeed an obligation, to support national objectives. In the Humanities, this leads to to a focus upon the Big Humanities -- educating the population in the language(s), literature and culture of the national state, a focus that is visible in the United States, Germany and elsewhere. But in Germany, this focus raises strategic questions about how to move forward. Dariah-DE, for example, is nominally a European project but it conducts its business in German, publishes its reports in German, and its core element of infrastructure, TextGrid, is developed in German. This makes it difficult for developers outside of the German speaking world to follow, much less participate in developing, Dariah-DE and TextGrid. At the same time, the second language of Literary Studies and Literary Theory in English is French, rather than German -- a major Digital Humanities project that focuses on German literature, history and culture and that publishes largely in German will have a difficult time exerting influence within an international Digital Humanities community insofar as that community uses English as a lingua franca. The Anglophone community can get away with focusing on projects that focus on the national interests of their various countries -- if they produce interesting technology and do interesting work on English literature, many people in the international DH community can readily follow the English publications, documentation and even commented source code (where source is properly documented). But where 77% of the 55 million records in Elsevier'™s Scopus database of Arts and Humanities publications point to English language publication, only 4.2% of the records point to German (French, with 7.1% is the second most widely used language, an order magnitude less than English). The German DH community needs to decide how it balances its obligation to advance the cultural identity of the German speaking world against its aspiration to participate within, and have an impact upon, the international Digital Humanities community. Such impact goes beyond technology and digital methods --“ it raises also the questions of how fully a Digital Humanities infrastructure for German language, literature and culture is designed to expand the role that German language, literature and culture can play beyond the German speaking world.

This also holds for the clearly defined research profiles with respect to four core themes: Dynamics of Youth, Institutions, Life Sciences and Sustainability. Utrecht University has a strong commitment to community outreach and contributes to answering the social questions of today and tomorrow. The Faculty of Humanities has around 7,000 students and 900 staff members. It comprises four knowledge domains: 1. Philosophy and Religious Studies; 2. History and Art History; 3. Media and Culture Studies and; 4. Languages, Literature and Communication. With its research and education in these fields, the faculty aims to contribute to a better understanding of the Netherlands and Europe in a rapidly changing social and cultural context. The enthusiastic and committed colleagues and the excellent amenities in the historical city centre of Utrecht, where the Faculty is housed, contribute to an inspiring working environment. The Department of Media and Culture Studies at Utrecht University is an internationally renowned teaching and research consortium composed of scholars in Theatre, Dance, Film, Television, Music, Arts Policy, New Media, Game and Gender Studies. It is dedicated to an interdisciplinary approach to media, performance, and culture in general. Attention to the (historic) transformation of media, performance and culture and their role in society form the main focus. Culture is a dynamic mix of artistic, creative and everyday activities, with which people shape their identity and actions and within which societal structures and institutions gain shape. Media (old and new) have a crucial role in how this is happening. The Department offers a variety of courses at the bachelor, the master and the doctorate level. The research of the Media and Culture Department is being coordinated by the Institute for Cultural Enquiry (ICON). Researchers at MCW participate in three ICON programmes: Gender Studies, Media & Performance Studies, and Musicology. All three have received excellent assessments in the most recent research visitation. Furthermore, researchers in our department play an important role in the university-wide focus area 'Cultures, Citizenship and Human Rights' and 'Game Research'. The Media and Culture department also hosts the Netherlands Research School of Gender Studies (NOG). Additional information For additional information please contact prof. dr.

The symposium will be held at King's College London's Strand campus on 26 June 2015, in conjunction with the graduate summer school for library and information studies MA students from the Pratt Institute in NYC and the University of Tennessee Knoxville. The purpose of the symposium is to bring together scholars involved in projects/enterprises which specifically address the broadly-defined area of public engagement. The emphasis will not be on the theory of public engagement but rather on case studies which have actually made an impact across a wide spectrum of disciplines and the evolution of policies that move from outreach to engagement.

Best regards, Matteo Romanello (on behalf of the organising committee) ========================================================== Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin 2015/16: Call for Papers ========================================================== We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the fourth 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 2015/16. 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 17 July 2015** 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 three seminar series was of 41% (2012/13), 31% (2013/14), and 40% (2014/15). Seminars will run **fortnightly on Tuesday evenings (17:15-19:00)** from October 2015 until February 2016 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. [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.

Recogito is a user-friendly Web-based tool developed to enable: first the “geotagging” of place names either on maps or in digital texts; then the “georesolving” of those places to an appropriate gazetteer.

However, it is a nice story, but untrue. Eise Eisinga started already his calculations for his planetarium in 1773, the year before, when this hypothesis by the reverend Eelco Alta had not yet been published. The origin of this conjunction-story is the Franeker professor Jan Hendrik van Swinden, who learnt about the existence of this planetarium only in (or shortly before) 1780. It is well known that Van Swinden exaggerated the scientific meaning of this planetarium. See about the fear for the End of the World in 1774, stirred up by the reverend Eelco Alta from Bozum, the 1984-publication in the Frisian language: Philippus H.Breuker, 'Acht Maaie 1774: Panyk en Ferljochting', De Vrije Fries 64 (1984), pp. 26-46. See further on the over-estimated phenomenon of the Frisian mathematical autodidacts, my recent publication in the Dutch language: 'De Friese 'Boerenprofessor': Realiteit of mystificatie?', De Vrije Fries 93 (2013) 101-124.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2015 18:14:15 +0100 From: Willard McCarty > Subject: curiosity, intelligence, skill Recently I had the good fortune to be taken by friends to the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker, Friesland, in the Netherlands. This planetarium was built by the Dutch wool-carder Eise Eisinga between 1774 and 1781 in the living-room of his house. It replaced his ceiling; its intricate mechanism is in the loft. It works to this day. It is made of oak, lead weights and, it is said, 10,000 nails. He made it to show his fellow citizens of Franeker that an unusual conjunction of planets (a syzygy, as it's called) on 8 May 1774 did not betoken the total destruction of the earth. For more on this see http://www.planetarium-friesland.nl/en/. If you've ever had work done to your house or done it yourself, you can infer the admirable toleration of Eisinga's family while the thing was being constructed. All very interesting, but what I carried away from the Frisian 18C planetarium for Humanist were some examples of ordinary working men, Eisinga the wool-carder and several others, who learned sufficient mathematics, physics and engineering skills, while making a humble living (as we might consider it), to build scientific instruments and explore as much of the universe as could be seen by them. Eise Eisinga's teacher was Wytze Foppes, born 16 September 1707, a carpenter by trade, who "was initiated into the secrets of mathematics and astronomy by a surveyor.... Foppes trained himself in making astronomical instruments and instructed Eise Eisinga. He also wrote various booklets and articles." Another. "Arjen Roelofs was born in Hijum on 31 March 1754. Together with two of his brothers, Pieter and Albert, he worked on his father's farm. All three brothers were fascinated by subjects such as mathematics and physics. Even during their work in the fields they recorded their observations -- on the handles of their wooden tools or on wooden doors. The brothers also made meteorological observations and built their own thermometers and barometers. And they used a kite to investigate lightning.... Arjen was the most gifted.... Despite the fact that he had attended the village school for only a few years, he could solve all kinds of problems in the fields of mathematics and physics. He also calculated the timing of many astronomical phenomena such as solar and lunar eclipses between 1778 and 1820." Curiosity, intelligence, what the Germans call Fingerspitzengefül and much more. Perhaps our surprise to find these virtues so brilliantly manifested in Frisian working men says more about us, or as much, as it does about them?

Full text and submission details at http://balisage.net/CulturalHeritage/Short-Talks-call.html Cultural Heritage data tend to be complex and heterogeneous; they resist generic solutions and often push tools and standards to the edges of their capabilities. Complex problems would seem to demand complex solutions, but as Gall's Law points out: "A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked." The Balisage Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup invites proposals for short presentations that aim to provoke discussion of how to design for and cope with the complexity of Cultural Heritage materials. Do you have a markup problem with no solution? Data too messy for your tools to handle? An ingenious solution to a hard problem involving Cultural Heritage materials? A heretical point of view about existing standards and practices? We want to hear from you! Presentations will be 10 minutes (or less) in length, followed by open discussion, brainstorming, support, sympathy, and advice from our audience of markup experts. To propose a short presentation for the Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup send email to info@balisage.net. Proposals must be received by June 19, 2015. Selection decisions will be announced by June 23, 2015. /** * Hugh A.

On behalf of the planning and program committees, Bethany Bethany Nowviskie Director of the Digital Library Federation at CLIR & Research Associate Professor of Digital Humanities at UVa diglib.org | clir.org | nowviskie.org * * * Dr. Safiya U. Noble works in critical race and information studies and socio-cultural informatics, “including feminist, historical and political-economic perspectives on computing platforms and software in the public interest.” Dr. Noble is an assistant professor in the Department of Information Studies in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at UCLA, where she conducts research “at the intersection of culture and technology in the design and use of applications on the Internet.” She is the author or co-author of articles such as “Google Search: Hyper-visibility as a Means of Rendering Black Women and Girls Invisible,” “Race and Social Media,” and “Geographic Information Systems: a Critical Look at the Commercialization of Public Information,” as well as the forthcoming, “Social Justice as Topic and Tool: An Attempt to Transform a LIS Curriculum and Culture” in Library Quarterly. Among Noble’s recent talks is a TEDx presentation at UIUC, “In Pursuit of an Ethics of Information.” Cecily Walker is Vancouver Public Library’s Assistant Manager for Community Digital Initiatives & eLearning, focusing on user experience, open data, social media, and the intersection of social issues, technology, and public librarianship. As she puts it: “It was my frustration with the way software was designed for the needs of programmers and highly technical users rather than the general public that led me to a career in user-centered design. It was my love of information, intellectual freedom, and service that pulled me back to librarianship.” Walker is a member of the editorial board of In the Library with the Lead Pipe and a recent host of #L1S, a tweet-chat for first-generation library professionals. Chris Bourg, Ph.D. is Director of Libraries at MIT, with oversight of the MIT Press and related initiatives. She comes to MIT after a distinguished career in public services at Stanford University Library and on the faculty of the United States Military Academy at West Point, where she taught courses in leadership and sociology. Bourg is author of the long-running “Feral Librarian” blog and a number of scholarly publications, including (with Bess Sadler) the recent code4lib journal article, “Feminism and the Future of Library Discovery.” --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 11:09:30 +0200 From: CRH-2015 Subject: CRH-2015 Dear Willard, we would like to inform you that we just issued the second call for papers for the workshop on "Corpus-based Research in the Humanities" (CRH).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 12:32:26 +0200 From: Gregory Crane Subject: The Big Humanities, National Identity and the Digital Humanities in Germany The Big Humanities, National Identity and the Digital Humanities in Germany Abstract: National funding agencies have a natural tendency, indeed an obligation, to support national objectives. In the Humanities, this leads to to a focus upon the Big Humanities -- educating the population in the language(s), literature and culture of the national state, a focus that is visible in the United States, Germany and elsewhere. But in Germany, this focus raises strategic questions about how to move forward. Dariah-DE, for example, is nominally a European project but it conducts its business in German, publishes its reports in German, and its core element of infrastructure, TextGrid, is developed in German. This makes it difficult for developers outside of the German speaking world to follow, much less participate in developing, Dariah-DE and TextGrid. At the same time, the second language of Literary Studies and Literary Theory in English is French, rather than German -- a major Digital Humanities project that focuses on German literature, history and culture and that publishes largely in German will have a difficult time exerting influence within an international Digital Humanities community insofar as that community uses English as a lingua franca. The Anglophone community can get away with focusing on projects that focus on the national interests of their various countries -- if they produce interesting technology and do interesting work on English literature, many people in the international DH community can readily follow the English publications, documentation and even commented source code (where source is properly documented). But where 77% of the 55 million records in Elsevier'™s Scopus database of Arts and Humanities publications point to English language publication, only 4.2% of the records point to German (French, with 7.1% is the second most widely used language, an order magnitude less than English). The German DH community needs to decide how it balances its obligation to advance the cultural identity of the German speaking world against its aspiration to participate within, and have an impact upon, the international Digital Humanities community. Such impact goes beyond technology and digital methods --“ it raises also the questions of how fully a Digital Humanities infrastructure for German language, literature and culture is designed to expand the role that German language, literature and culture can play beyond the German speaking world.

In-Reply-To: <20150609112452.337E1984@digitalhumanities.org> Thanks to Humboldt fellow Gregory Crane for the figures regarding the use of English as lingua franca in the Humanities (http://lists.digitalhumanities.org/pipermail/humanist/2015-June/012973.html). It is seldom that the problem of language choice is addressed by an English speaking colleague. Understandable: as long as lingua franca is at the same time my native language, it is not worth bothering with. After my lecture on Slovene literature at the University of Kansas back in 1985 a professor of English asked me with a sincere concern why we spend so much energy maintaining such small literatures. Wouldn't it help the humanity much more if we all decided to speak one language only and hence start solving our problems more effectively? I don't recall my answer any more (the idea of dropping one's own language and literature in favor of general global progress seemed »unerhört« to me then and now); today I would argue that the use of local languages has something in common with biodiversity which makes our cultural system sustainable and brings quality to our life. A better solution than adopting English as lingua franca in the Western world over scholarship in non-Western languages, is the development of automated translation and similar digital tools. Unfortunately, these tools are not here yet, especially not for minor languages. To participate in global exchange of knowledge users of minor languages have to make effort and spend additional energy for translating and promoting their findings in English, which puts them in an unequal position. The case of Russian formalism, which has been »discovered« decades after their first publications thanks to English translations, prove the ignorance and self-sufficiency of English speaking scientific communities in relation to other languages. At the moment the status of scholarly publication depends heavily on the decision to be written in English or not. Publications in non-English languages cannot by far compete with the English ones. Luckily, the algorithms for ranking publications are getting more complex and fair. Scopus itself produces two scales which rank journals very differently: according to the impact factor (SNIP), Slavistična revija, journal for linguistics and literary studies has been recently removed from the list of ranked journals, as it hasn't recorded enough international attention (read: citations), according to the Scopus 2012 ranking system SJR (SCImago Journal & Country Rank), the same journal ranks into the first two groups Q1 and Q2. Local research communities are partly responsible themselves for the discriminatory status of their humanities. Using the impact factor as the main indicator of scientific quality, the Slovene research agency favours publications in English as if there were a great international interest in topics on Slovene language and literature. To achieve a higher academic status, Slovene literary historians decide to write in English, thus neglecting the primary audience this literature has been written for, i. e. Slovene speakers. I consider the expectation of Alexander von Humbold Foundation that foreign scholars should contribute to German scientific position in the World legitimate and perspective. This aim is also in agreement with the constant decline of English articles in Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Size_of_Wikipedia) and parallel emancipatory growth of articles in other languages. Let us invest in language diversity. -- miran _______________________________________________ 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 09710C49; Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:05:26 +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 3F0F99BB; Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:05:26 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6F7FF9B9; Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:05:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150612110523.6F7FF9B9@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2015 13:05:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.94 uses of n-grams?

However, the addendum to the article reveals some of the hazards of using the Google N-Gram viewer. It was found that some of the shifts in word use indicated by Google N-Gram were due to the decline of the use of the long ‘f’ and were thus typographical artefacts rather than cultural changes. When an attempt was made to recalculate the results, it was found that Google had changed its algorithm, so that the original results could not be repeated.

In-Reply-To: <20150612110523.6F7FF9B9@digitalhumanities.org> Broadly speaking, n-gram analysis has been a central feature of Homeric scholarship at least since the days of Friedrich Wolf more than two centuries ago. The scrupulous listing of repeated n-grams makes the 19th=century commentaries of Ameis-Hentze a still useful tool. The Chicago Homer has been a digital tool drawing attention to the distinctive features of Homeric repetition. (http://homer.library.northwestern.edu) I have played around with a large list of repeated n-grams extracted from a corpus of ~500 plays from the mid-sixteenth to the mid-seventeenth-century. It's an interesting data set. The most striking, but hardly surprising, conclusion is that works by the same author on average share twice as many n-grams as works by different authors. On the other hand, n-grams hardly ever provide conclusive evidence that C is the author of A and B, where A and B are plays of unknown or disputed authorship. From a forensic perspective, n-grams provide intriguing but frustrating evidence. I have a single and abstract measure of repetition, by which the average value for pairwise combinations of plays by the same author is 64.7 while the comparable figure for plays by different authors is 28.7. The average value for 666 pairwise combinations of Shakespeare plays is 52.6 (he repeats himself a lot less than James Shirley), but the values for particular pairwise combination range from 20.99 to 145.3. Karl Reinhardt argued many years ago that the Aphrodite Hymn was the work of Homer. If you count shared n-grams, the Aphrodite Hymn is the only Homeric Hymn that sits sqarely within the range of shared n-grams (and other quantitative data) for pairwise combinations of Homeric books. The others are all outliers. But it doesn't add up to conclusive proof.

Most have to do with poetic diction, neologism, interpretation, and the history of literary criticism (though there are also posts on broader questions of language, and also on the uses and pitfalls of the google dataset, which are probably not what you are looking for).

The remit of the Digital Lab will include formal projects funded by external bodies such as the UK Research Councils, but will also encompass a broad portfolio of services, tools, infrastructure, and guidance around digital technologies. The vision for KDL is that it will be entrepreneurial endeavour that is encouraged to seek out and undertake innovative and cutting-edge work with external as well as internal partners, including not only the Faculty, but also other parts of King’s, as well as external clients in the public and private sectors, including HEIs and the cultural sector. The Faculty of Arts and Humanities is seeking to appoint a Director for a new initiative named the King’s Digital Lab (KDL). While an initial range of potential activities for KDL has been identified, and are summarised in the job pack, once underway KDL will be an independent unit, whose subsequent development and priorities will be informed and determined by the new Director. The Director will thus be required to produce at an early stage detailed business and operational plans, which will identify its priorities and focuses in the initial years of its operation, including sources of revenue. This will also enable the Director to make considered decisions about the profile and skills of the research development team that will be required to achieve the aims of KDL, and to make appointments to build up this team. The post holder will be a highly motivated and entrepreneurial leader, with an excellent knowledge of digital humanities methods and tools and their application across higher education and the cultural sector, and the potential to extend beyond these domains. The post holder will take responsibility for the staff in KDL, promoting and marketing KDL; seeking out and securing new partnerships and clients; developing funding streams; and for undertaking a broad range of engagement activities, both within King’s and externally.

In general, Digital Humanities refers to the application of information techniques and the data manage system that comes with it, to investigate issues in humanities, in particularly those that are considered difficult, or even next to impossible to observe, describe, or analyze without the aid of information techniques. For example, digital technology can deal with the cross-area studies of broader geographical areas, or the diachronic and comparative researches in longitudinal dimension. Through constant exchange of ideas between scholars of both humanities and information technologies, the development of Digital Humanities has now gone beyond simple data mining and exploring new research themes within one’s own research field. It is aimed to become an interdisciplinary approach that will intertwine knowledge from various research fields, and integrate different types of data and analytical techniques, in order to develop new research topics and methodologies, and to motivate both reflections on and paradigm shift of humanities. Looking from a broader sense, information technologies and digital data have already had very profound impacts on contemporary culture and in our daily lives. Therefore, issues such as how exactly the application of information techniques and digital data have impacted which aspect of contemporary lives; how they have inspired creativities in societal movements, cultural forms, and artistic expressions; and what will our lives will be like living in a digital world in the future, have become important research themes in Digital Humanities. The theme of this year's conference, “Focusing on East Asia,” is founded on this area’s specific languages, histories, social lives, and cultures different from the Western and shape the unique DH research concerns and topics in East Asia. We welcome submissions on featured topics and researches based on the particularities of languages, texts, and social-historical contexts in East Asia. The aims of this conference are: to engage more researchers to participate in the ongoing dialogs that will eventually lead to the integration of expertise from various disciplines, to stimulate more new research themes, and ultimately to contribute to the growth and flourishing of the East Asia’s research community of Digital Humanities. Topics of interest We invite submissions of abstracts relating (but not limited) to the following aspects of digital humanities, especially encourage papers dealing with texts or data from East Asia (including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia, Vietnam and Southeast Asia): Development of digital technologies and their applications to help advancing humanities studies (including digital media, data mining, software design, and modeling, etc.). Interdisciplinary research and humanistic research in literature studies, linguistics, culture, and history that are conducted with the use of digital data or digital technology. Research related to the impact of digital technologies on social, institutional, and cultural aspects, as well as its impact on globalization and multiculturalism. Innovative forms of digital arts such as music, film and theatre; and digital applications such as digital design and new media. Other DH-related topics. Submission Guidelines The call for papers is open for all who are interested. All submissions are to be done online (website: http://www.dadh.digital.ntu.edu.tw/up_index.php?LangType=en). Submitted abstracts should include title, an abstract of 1,000-3,000 words, 3-5 keywords, as well as the author’s name, affiliation & position, contact number, and email. The papers will be reviewed. Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full papers by October 1, 2015. Publications: A Conference Proceeding will be distributed during the conference. The authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit a revised version after the conference. If accepted, it will be included in the Series on Digital Humanities v. 7 published by the National Taiwan University Press.

This labelling is a consistent part of our dialogue, but what is meant by it? Some of these “experiences” play transformative roles in our life stories – how can they be distinguished? Some of these “experiences” are spiritual and religious – do they have a special quality? Some of these experiences center on action – how do they differ in terms of being “an experience” from those which are more cerebral and contemplative? The well worn expression that “the unexamined life is not worth living” is often countered with “but the unlived life is not worth examining.” Experience involves both living and examining. The Nature of Experience is designed to question and explore perspectives on how we do both. Invitees are drawn from philosophy, psychology, cognitive science, the arts, dance, music, drama, journalism, medicine and neuro-science ensuring a rich multi-disciplinary exchange of viewpoints and ideas. The purpose of “The Nature of Experience” is to gather 25-30 scholars from many disciplines to focus on these questions from the perspective of a participant/observer. One cybernetic observation regarding experience is that quite often "change" happens not directly through some linear cause, but indirectly in that the cognized view of a situation shifts and that shift changes the affordance set which then leads to new actions. This event is designed to encourage such shifts in cognized views. During the week, 12-15 scholars will give presentations but the bulk of the effort will be directed to discussion. Participants will self organize into teams which will meet around the scheduled presentations for the purpose of discussion. Lunch will be organized such that there is cross-fertilization amongst the teams. The setting has been chosen to further encourage continued discussion. Our goal will be the production of a book. Presenters and discussion participants will be encouraged to post preparatory materials on line for the use of the group. The entire week will be both recorded and transcribed and made available to the group for further reflection. Both presentations and discussion materials will then be converted into book chapters. It is our hope that presenters will team up with participant/observers to collaborate on individual book chapters. The presentations themselves will be videoed and will be made available as an on-line seminar. Please join us. -- Michael Lissack 14 Stratford Rd Marblehead MA 01945 phone 617-710-9565 http://isce.edu http://lissack.com Michael is the Executive Director of the Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence, President of the American Society for Cybernetics, ISCE Professor of Meaning in Organizations, Visiting Fellow at Hull University Business School, and an Affiliate Member of the Center for Philosophy & History of Science at Boston University.

In general, Digital Humanities refers to the application of information techniques and the data manage system that comes with it, to investigate issues in humanities, in particularly those that are considered difficult, or even next to impossible to observe, describe, or analyze without the aid of information techniques. For example, digital technology can deal with the cross-area studies of broader geographical areas, or the diachronic and comparative researches in longitudinal dimension. Through constant exchange of ideas between scholars of both humanities and information technologies, the development of Digital Humanities has now gone beyond simple data mining and exploring new research themes within one’s own research field. It is aimed to become an interdisciplinary approach that will intertwine knowledge from various research fields, and integrate different types of data and analytical techniques, in order to develop new research topics and methodologies, and to motivate both reflections on and paradigm shift of humanities. Looking from a broader sense, information technologies and digital data have already had very profound impacts on contemporary culture and in our daily lives. Therefore, issues such as how exactly the application of information techniques and digital data have impacted which aspect of contemporary lives; how they have inspired creativities in societal movements, cultural forms, and artistic expressions; and what will our lives will be like living in a digital world in the future, have become important research themes in Digital Humanities. The theme of this year's conference, “Focusing on East Asia,” is founded on this area’s specific languages, histories, social lives, and cultures different from the Western and shape the unique DH research concerns and topics in East Asia. We welcome submissions on featured topics and researches based on the particularities of languages, texts, and social-historical contexts in East Asia. The aims of this conference are: to engage more researchers to participate in the ongoing dialogs that will eventually lead to the integration of expertise from various disciplines, to stimulate more new research themes, and ultimately to contribute to the growth and flourishing of the East Asia’s research community of Digital Humanities. Topics of interest We invite submissions of abstracts relating (but not limited) to the following aspects of digital humanities, especially encourage papers dealing with texts or data from East Asia (including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia, Vietnam and Southeast Asia): Development of digital technologies and their applications to help advancing humanities studies (including digital media, data mining, software design, and modeling, etc.). Interdisciplinary research and humanistic research in literature studies, linguistics, culture, and history that are conducted with the use of digital data or digital technology. Research related to the impact of digital technologies on social, institutional, and cultural aspects, as well as its impact on globalization and multiculturalism. Innovative forms of digital arts such as music, film and theatre; and digital applications such as digital design and new media. Other DH-related topics. Submission Guidelines The call for papers is open for all who are interested. All submissions are to be done online (website: http://www.dadh.digital.ntu.edu.tw/up_index.php?LangType=en). Submitted abstracts should include title, an abstract of 1,000-3,000 words, 3-5 keywords, as well as the author’s name, affiliation & position, contact number, and email. The papers will be reviewed.

However, it was not unknown for the 19th century plaster craftsmen (formatori) to doctor the casts, crafting their moulds such that when cast, a damaged sculpture would appear more complete. In this sense, plaster casts may be considered artefacts in their own right-rather than straightforward copies-representing 19th century craft techniques and approaches to classical reception. In order to investigate these potential historical and archaeological significances, 3D scans are being produced of both casts and original objects for comparison. Scanning of casts is taking place at the British Museum, which houses an early collection of casts of classical sculptures. Case studies have been selected by identifying those sculptures for which there are early casts of originals that remained in an outdoor context for many years after they were moulded; these casts are most likely to contain small surface details lost/changed from the originals by processes such as weathering. Sections of casts of the Parthenon sculptures are to be scanned at the British Museum, and the corresponding sections of the originals at the Acropolis Museum, Athens. The 3D images will record fine topographical details to facilitate study of the current surface appearance and condition of the casts and originals. The two sets of images will then be visually compared and mapped onto each other to indicate any differences. The comparative 3D scans will be used to facilitate interpretation of the complex nature of the plaster surfaces by attempting to distinguish between differences caused by reductive processes on the originals (such as weathering) and additive processes on the casts (made up by the formatori). Results are to be analysed in conjunction with detailed digital photographs and/or reflectance transformation imaging (RTI), together with consideration of the historical context of both casts and originals, craft techniques used to produce the casts, and limitations of the scanning process when dealing with objects of two different materials (marble and plaster). The results should enhance our understanding both of the original sculptures and of the significances of the casts. ALL WELCOME The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments. -- Dr. Charlotte Tupman Research Associate Study Abroad Tutor & Publicity Coordinator Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 7145 --[6]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2015 16:07:00 +0200 From: maurizio lana Subject: AIUCD15 italian digital humanities conference in Turin In-Reply-To: <20150609112714.E1499984@digitalhumanities.org> AIUCD, the italian "Associazione per l'Informatica Umanistica e la Cultura Digitale" is pleased to announce its fourth annual conference and to invite you to participate with the submission of a paper. maurizio lana ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Digital humanities and cultural heritage: what relationship? Fourth AIUCD annual conference 17-19 December 2015 Campus Einaudi - Lungo Dora Siena 100 - 10153 Torino The AIUCD 2015 conference is dedicated to investigate the relationship between the Digital Humanities and the broad field of Cultural Heritage, a line of research that is open since the inception of the former. On the one hand, the Cultural Heritage domain has been using digital tools, processes and methodologies for quite a long time, but their use does not imply a recognition of their role as scientifically qualifying. On the other hand, galleries, libraries, archives and museums preserve and provide access to a wealth of content that is the object of much research carried out as part of the Digital Humanities. It is therefore interesting to see if Digital Humanities tools and methods have led and will lead to a redefinition of theoretical, methodological and technical processes, up to an actual re-conceptualization of knowledge in the Cultural Heritage field. At least two issues indicate the existence of a connection: the theoretical reflection on the management of information and data that texts hold, which has been carried out as part of the management of libraries, has important consequences for the whole wide area of the Digital Humanities; in the context of research funding, the increasing demand to describe what will be the public impact of planned research identifies in a “relationship with society” topic a significant element wide spread in the Cultural Heritage area. Furthermore, if on the one hand the world of Cultural Heritage has started their own reflection that also touches the Digital Humanities, on the other hand the Digital Humanities are urged to communicate beyond the inner, often self-referential, circle of Academia, and to do this they are inspired by the methods of communication and dissemination of knowledge that belong to the Cultural Heritage world. In conclusion, a meeting of Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage is already under way, it is necessary to act and facilitate a cooperation that results in being as effective as possible for both fields. As a sign of openness and willingness to cooperate with the Cultural Heritage world, conference organization is entrusted to the Centro di Ricerca Interdipartimentale per la digitalizzazione e la realizzazione di Biblioteche Digitali Umanistiche - MEDIHUM Memoria Digitalis Humanistica (Università  di Torino). We are therefore soliciting papers in particular on – but not limited to - the following topics: Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage: integration, separation, independence? what relationship among Museums, Libraries, Archives and Digital Humanities? how do Digital Humanities fit in Museums, Archives and Galleries? visualization, imaging, graphic representations, immersive environments in the Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage areas; which impact on society for research projects’ output in the Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage areas? Public History: Museums, Libraries and Archives today are privileged mediators between the public and its past, DH methodologies however require new figures, aware of the issues and opportunities offered by the digital world; which forms may the collaboration between cultural institutions and digital humanists take in digitization projects, text encoding, critical edition, digital curation? experiences of projects using principles and methods of the semantic web, and Linked Open Data research. The contributions, to be submitted as a 500 words maximum abstract in PDF format, must be loaded through the EasyChair platform at the URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiucd2015. The deadline for submission of abstracts to the Programme Committee is scheduled for midnight of August 31st, 2015. All abstracts will be subject to evaluation by the AIUCD conference Programme Committee. Information with regard to the acceptance of abstracts will be communicated to the authors by 30th September 2015.

In line with the current discussions of the "digital humanities", and in the context of political critiques of big data urbanism as potentially undemocratic, this session aims at rethinking, discussing and developing architectural research based on large data sets. We encourage submissions of papers which address both historical examples of the use of large data sets for architectural production since the late 19th century and in a global perspective as well as contemporary scholarly uses of "big data" for analysis of historical and contemporary built environments. The large data sets may be numerical, visual/typological, textual, or otherwise defined by the proposed submission. We are especially looking for papers which analyze data by means of digital tools, techniques, and media, which may include graphic methods of knowledge production (rather than simply visualization).

Digital Humanities at Oxford Summer School 2015 --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2015 06:47:35 +0000 From: Rob van Glabbeek Subject: Call for Papers: Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems (MARS'15) First Call for Papers: Workshop on Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems (MARS 2015) Affiliated With LPAR 20 November 23, 2015 Suva, Fiji http://hoefner-online.de/mars15/ Aim: Logics and techniques for automated reasoning have often been developed with formal analysis and formal verification in mind. To show applicability, toy examples or tiny case studies are typically presented in research papers. Since the theory needs to be developed first, this approach is reasonable. However, to show that a developed approach actually scales to real systems, large case studies are essential. The development of formal models of real systems usually requires a perfect understanding of informal descriptions of the system-sometimes found in RFCs or other standard documents-which are usually just written in English. Based on the type of system, an adequate specification formalism needs to be chosen, and the informal specification translated into it. Abstraction from unimportant details then yields an accurate, formal model of the real system. The process of developing a detailed and accurate model usually takes a large amount of time, often months or years; without even starting a formal analysis. When publishing the results on a formal analysis in a scientific paper, details of the model have to be skipped due to lack of space, and often the lessons learnt from modelling are not discussed since they are not the main focus of the paper. The workshop aims at discussing exactly these unmentioned lessons. Examples are: * Which formalism is chosen, and why? * Which abstractions have to be made and why? * How are important characteristics of the system modelled? * Were there any complications while modelling the system? * Which measures were taken to guarantee the accuracy of the model? The workshop emphasises modelling over verification. In particular, we invite papers that present full Models of Real Systems, which may lay the basis for future formal analysis. The workshop will bring together researchers from different communities that all aim at verifying real systems and are developing formal models for such systems. Areas where large models often occur are within networks, (trustworthy) systems and software verification (from byte code up to programming- and specification languages). An aim of the workshop is to present different modelling approaches and discuss pros and cons for each of them. SUBMISSION: Submissions must be unpublished and not be submitted for publication elsewhere. Contributions are limited to 8 pages EPTCS style (http://style.eptcs.org) (not counting the appendix), but shorter extended abstracts are welcome. Appendices (of arbitrary length) can be used to present all details of a formalised model; the appendices will be part of the proceedings. Submissions must be in English and submitted in PDF format via EasyChair (TBC). All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three referees based on their novelty, relevance and technical merit. The proceedings will be published as part of the open access series Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

Omeka seems to be a good choice. Omeka is based on the lamp stack (linux-apache-mysql-php), which is ok. It seems also to be hard wired to Dublin core which is not so ok, but out of scope here. We have over the years developed image/art work database with 60,000 images supplied with high quality catalogue data. This database is currently implemented in a Oracle 12 database, which is planned to be ported to a PostgreSQL. I would be very happy is there is a way to plug in the larger art database on the "back side" of Omeka without (im)porting it to MySQL. For example, is it possible to replace mySql with another RDMS in Omeka as it is for example in Drupal?

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. For more information and to submit your proposal, please visit http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/cfp/ The call for proposals for the DLF Liberal Arts Colleges Preconference is also open until June 22.

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 the 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 SUBMISSIONS AND PROCEEDINGS Authors are required to follow IEEE ICDM Proceedings Author Guidelines.

The workshop will teach participants how to use the open-source CollateX collation tool to compare witnesses of a text automatically, in a way that can be used to produce critical textual editions and other types of comparative documents. Participants will learn how to prepare source materials in any written script for collation, how to perform automated collation using CollateX, and how to inspect and modify the results. To register for the workshop please follow the link at http://dh2015.org/workshops/. The workshop web site (still under development) is accessible at http://collatex.obdurodon.org, and includes instructions for downloading and installing CollateX prior to the workshop. _______________________________________________ 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 CDB48DC5; Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:55:44 +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 43EB2C85; Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:55:44 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9F631C85; Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:55:41 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150621205541.9F631C85@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2015 22:55:41 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.113 pubs: what is code?

In-Reply-To: <20150621204839.DC225C4B@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Christian-Emil, the answer seems to be "no". Although I don't use Omeka, it says in several places that it is dependent on MySQL specific "features and queries". e.g. here: http://omeka.org/forums/topic/postgres-plugin, which is surprising. My question to you is "why does it matter?" In what respect is MySql deficient with respect to Postgres? I'm not a fan of storing images directly in databases if that's what you're doing. I prefer to serve them directly from the Web-server. That way all you all need to do is store the metadata in the database, which is trivial. And far easier to back up.

In-Reply-To: <20150621204839.DC225C4B@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Christian-Emil, Your email is interesting and I would like to help. I have no direct answer for your question, though, and am afraid that a real data abstraction layer is not provided in Omeka. What I suggest it that you add here some info regarding your motives and needs. They are clear to you, of course, but might be assumptions which should be first discussed. First I thought to ask you: why do you hesitate (or do not want) to say goodbye to the Oracle database? Why not to DO indeed import all data (keeping its structure) to a modern web-based system like Drupal or Omeka? But then you said you plan to import the data into a PostgreSQL database, so I am not sure now whether Oracle still exists in our equation. If not, why not to import all data into a MySQL *according to the chosen system table structure* and leave PostgreSQL alone? That is, to build your web-based database with a proper CMS that is the best in your context and then import the data into it. If there are no complex relationships among the objects, than Omeka will probably do. For more complicated relationships and/or behavior, you may consider Drupal. Myself I am a Drupal developer but I try not to be biased (when possible)...

In-Reply-To: <20150621204839.DC225C4B@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Christian-Emil, As far as I know this is not possible, but it is possible to import large amounts of data into Omeka in a spreadsheet (using the CSV import plug-in). You would have to create an Omeka project with your desired metadata fields (you can add to the native DC fields), then build a spreadsheet with your desired values and a URL to your object to be imported. It's a bit of work but I have done it, so it must be do-able :-) I would think the most difficult part would be building the spreadsheet from your current database.

Dear all, If I may, I would like to use this list as a collective brain: Could you suggest any authoritative literature on writing practices? I am aware of the large body of literature on scribal practices, but those focus more on the (re)production of text(s) rather than on writing as an individual, private practice. More specifically, the act of writing as 'putting words to your thoughts'. Think along the lines of the seminal work "The Fluid Text" by John Bryant or the French school of genetic criticism that examines the process of writing. However, these studies are mostly based on modern manuscripts (Melville, Flaubert, Proust, etc.). I wondered whether there are any studies into earlier writing practices? I would like to know if, and how, the individual practice of writing has been studied in the past. I am currently using "A History of Reading in the West" (eds. Cavallo and Chartier). This work includes a number of articles on early writing practices, but they are --predictably- mainly focused on the aspect of reading. Are there any other works you could recommend? Thank you very much in advance.

(BT) and the Science Museum Group Applications are invited for an AHRC-funded doctoral student to join King's College London, BT, and the Science Museum Group in late September 2015 or early January 2016 to investigate the impact of the telephone landline network on British society and culture(s). The project is informed by the rise of the Internet and social media, the interest this has generated in understanding how networks grow and evolve over time, and how this can be connected to wider changes in society. The comprehensive historical and technical archive managed by BT represents a unique resource for researchers, grounding an analysis of 'impact' in an understanding of the network as an object materialised through a range of artefacts: from physical cables and switches, to abstract statistics on usage by homes and businesses. The project objectives are: * * To produce new histories of network development and in so doing, to contribute to contemporary debates about the cultural effects of a network society. * * To develop an open access data set documenting the evolution of the landline phone network. * * To use this data as a platform to examine the changing character/characteristics of the network. * * To explore the (uneven) impact of this connectivity on local communities, identities and cultures through, for instance, the spreading of news and coordination of social movements and organisations. * * To support the development of interactive online resources for Science Museum Group & BT Archives audiences. The student is free to specify the sociocultural impact that they wish to study in conjunction with their work on network evolution, aligning the project's aims with their own interests. Entry criteria You must meet the eligibility requirements specified by the AHRC: http://bit.ly/1Gn8RTc. We expect applicants with a background in history, geography, archaeology, science & technology studies, or digital humanities to be particularly suited for this project. Applicants with a demonstrable interest in the use of computers in historical research are strongly encouraged to apply; however, selection will be based on the applicant's capacity to undertake original research and BT can provide assistance in the design of online interactive resources. Applicants should send a single email containing the following attachments to lauren.perry@kcl.ac.uk by 1st August 2015: 1) a full CV; 2) a research proposal of no more than 1,000 words, 3) transcripts of university qualifications; 4) details of two references; 5) a covering letter highlighting key skills/interests and addressing any gaps in education or experience; and 6) if relevant, proof of English language proficiency. More information The project can begin in either September 2015 or January 2016, and we will support the selected candidate in undertaking additional training in digital humanities tools and methods alongside their literature review in order to develop the requisite skills base. Funding is for 3 years at the London-weighted maintenance grant rate of £16,413 p.a. The dissertation supervisors are Dr Jonathan Reades (Department of Geography, King's College London), Dr Mark Hedges (Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London), Mr David Hay (Head of Heritage & Archives, BT Group), and Mr John Liffen (Curator of Communications, Science Museum). If you have reviewed the application material and have any queries, or would like to discuss this opportunity before applying, please contact Dr Jonathan Reades at jonathan.reades@kcl.ac.uk. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2015 05:40:50 -0400 From: "Charles M. Ess" Subject: PhD position in Media Innovation / Media Design Dear Humanists, Please pass along the following announcement to potentially interested candidates. == Department of Media and Communication Doctoral research fellowship within Media Innovation A full-time position as a PhD Fellow (SKO 1017) in Media Studies, specializing in Media Innovation is available at the Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo (please see http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/). Media Studies is defined here as the interdisciplinary study of the modern media, their form and content, institutions and use, their political, social, cultural and aesthetic contexts, using approaches from the Social Sciences and the Humanities. Media Innovations is a prioritized research area at the Department of Media and Communication (please see http://www.hf.uio.no/imk/english/research/center/media-innovations/index.html). Media Innovations includes research on how changing technologies and changing modes of usage and engagement with media bring about media innovation and transformation of the media sector with perspectives ranging from institutional and structural conditions, to genres and expressions. One central field within the research area is Media Innovation by Media Design. This involves research on how design within Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and media industries interact with media innovations both narrowly considered (e.g., within journalism, education, etc.) and more broadly considered, i.e., recognizing that media innovations are interwoven with larger social and political contexts. The PhD fellowship is within this field of Media Innovation by Media Design. Projects are particularly encouraged that develop, realize and test in practice, new approaches to design that expand beyond current models. Projects that study media innovation by media design in the industry will also be considered.

The site uses a variety of open source tools to map and graphically illustrate the networks, activities and locations of a variety of correspondents, including: - Ambrose Bierce - Arthur Machen - Bess of Hardwick - Carl Maria von Weber - Charles Darwin - Daniel O'Connell - Emile Zola - Henrik Ibsen - Howard Phillips Lovecraft - James Barry - James Connolly - John Millington Synge - Mark Twain Letters - Rene Descartes - Roger Casement - Sean O'Casey - Thomas MacGreevy - Vincent van Gogh - William Culen among many others. Using only basic metadata, 25 data visualisations enable the user to gain new insights into over 163,000 letters from 28 collections. More visualisations are planned in the near future. The project builds on work originally undertaken with Coventry University, the Mellon Centre for Migration Studies, and others on the project, “Digitising Experiences of Migration” (http://lettersofmigration.blogspot.ie). ‘Visual Correspondences’ includes that project’s collection of letters, and many of the tools built, but extends its functionality and breadth. Letters from a variety of online (and offline) sources, have been brought together behind one interactive interface. All of the visualisations available on this site are interactive allowing the user to tailor their queries to their own particular needs. Where the site is particularly useful is in tracking a person’s movements, activity and development over time. Often this allows us to fill in a gap in the biographical record. It is hoped that these data visualisations will serve as springboards to further research. As well as providing tools to visualise the metadata, in bringing together detail on sender, recipient, place and date for over 163,000 letters, 'Visual Correspondence' provides a new way to explore the letters themselves. Where possible, links back to the original texts are provided. Also using data from DBpedia, biographical information and more has been added to put the letters themselves in more context. Hopefully in exploring this site, the user will begin to see letter writing for the valuable part of our history that it is.

In general, Digital Humanities refers to the application of information techniques and the data manage system that comes with it, to investigate issues in humanities, in particularly those that are considered difficult, or even next to impossible to observe, describe, or analyze without the aid of information techniques. For example, digital technology can deal with the cross-area studies of broader geographical areas, or the diachronic and comparative researches in longitudinal dimension. Through constant exchange of ideas between scholars of both humanities and information technologies, the development of Digital Humanities has now gone beyond simple data mining and exploring new research themes within one’s own research field. It is aimed to become an interdisciplinary approach that will intertwine knowledge from various research fields, and integrate different types of data and analytical techniques, in order to develop new research topics and methodologies, and to motivate both reflections on and paradigm shift of humanities. Looking from a broader sense, information technologies and digital data have already had very profound impacts on contemporary culture and in our daily lives. Therefore, issues such as how exactly the application of information techniques and digital data have impacted which aspect of contemporary lives; how they have inspired creativities in societal movements, cultural forms, and artistic expressions; and what will our lives will be like living in a digital world in the future, have become important research themes in Digital Humanities. The theme of this year's conference, “Focusing on East Asia,” is founded on this area’s specific languages, histories, social lives, and cultures different from the Western and shape the unique DH research concerns and topics in East Asia. We welcome submissions on featured topics and researches based on the particularities of languages, texts, and social-historical contexts in East Asia. The aims of this conference are: to engage more researchers to participate in the ongoing dialogs that will eventually lead to the integration of expertise from various disciplines, to stimulate more new research themes, and ultimately to contribute to the growth and flourishing of the East Asia’s research community of Digital Humanities. Topics of interest We invite submissions of abstracts relating (but not limited) to the following aspects of digital humanities, especially encourage papers dealing with texts or data from East Asia (including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia, Vietnam and Southeast Asia): Development of digital technologies and their applications to help advancing humanities studies (including digital media, data mining, software design, and modeling, etc.). Interdisciplinary research and humanistic research in literature studies, linguistics, culture, and history that are conducted with the use of digital data or digital technology. Research related to the impact of digital technologies on social, institutional, and cultural aspects, as well as its impact on globalization and multiculturalism. Innovative forms of digital arts such as music, film and theatre; and digital applications such as digital design and new media. Other DH-related topics. Submission Guidelines The call for papers is open for all who are interested. All submissions are to be done online (website: http://www.dadh.digital.ntu.edu.tw/up_index.php?LangType=en). Submitted abstracts should include title, an abstract of 1,000-3,000 words, 3-5 keywords, as well as the author’s name, affiliation & position, contact number, and email. The papers will be reviewed. Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full papers by October 1, 2015. Publications: A Conference Proceeding will be distributed during the conference. The authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit a revised version after the conference.

Douglas (Professor of Communication Studies, University of Michigan) * Dr. Gerard Alberts (Associate Professor of the History of Mathematics and Computing, University of Amsterdam) â?oMedia Scholars and Amateurs of All Countries and Disciplines, Hands-on!â? * Recent years have witnessed a growing turn to experimental historical research in the history of media technologies. In addition to archival investigation and oral history interviews, historians and enthusiasts are increasingly uncovering histories of technology through hands-on exercises in simulation and re-enactment. Equipment lovingly restored by amateurs, or preserved by national heritage collections, is being placed in the hands of the people who once operated it, provoking a new and rich flood of memories. The turn to experimental research raises profound methodological questions. The unreliability of narrative memory is well proven, but what do we know about the limits of haptic and tactile memory? To what extent is it possible to elicit useful memories of technological arrays when parts of those arrays are missing or non-functional? How do the owners of old equipment shape the historical narratives which are stimulated by their collections? Hands-On History is a colloquium designed to facilitate discussion of these issues between historians, users, curators and archivists (amateur and professional) who are making use of and taking part in these historical enquiries. In addition to a series of keynote presentations by leading scholars in the field, the event will also include stimulating workshops on specific focus areas. While the focus of the event will be on media technologies, broadly defined, we invite contributions from other areas of technology and from other academic disciplines. This colloquium aims to make a decisive intervention in this emerging area of academic interest. It is part of the ADAPT project, a European Research Council funded project investigating the history of television production technologies through hands-on simulations. Research conducted by ADAPT will form a key case study for the colloquium. In order to facilitate productive discussion, numbers will be limited. It is expected that papers presented will form the basis of an edited collection focused on hands-on historical research. We invite proposals for research presentations, panel discussions, and historical equipment demonstrations. Presentations may take whatever format is most appropriate, and we welcome approaches which deviate from the traditional 20 minute lecture.

The map is quick and dirty, and misrepresents much. It would be nice to get a representation of memberships from each org by city or state, that would help localize trans-nationality more accurately. In lieu of that I'm hoping this can spark a conversation about representation, language and location. If you have private suggestions, feel free to send me a line. I welcome all public suggestions. As I say in the about page: LIES THIS MAP TELLS: > This map does not represent the trans-national membership of these > organizations. A heat map from member tallies would be more accurate. > CenterNet is absent. Humanistica and ACH have a much wider reach than the > map gives them credit for. My rationale for doing it was to show the > territoriality of the largest number of members in each of these orgs, OR > the regions they de facto represent. I find my lies point in the direction > of a tension between language vs. region, representation vs. proportional > membership. The lies are meant to spark a conversation about how we can > move forward organizationally at the global level, through and around ADHO. > I would favor moves in the direction of clearly defined meso-level > regional/national organizations—open to global membership, of course, but > clearly based somewhere—for the support of semi-local communities. The key > here is support and representation for semi-local communities. To be clear, > I am not against co-existence and collaboration with language-based > trans-regional organizations that stretch the planet, and do believe we can > achieve local support and representation if we work together carefully at > the intersections of language/region/representation, as long as we foster > local growth and agency. On that note, I should point out that many > organizations represented here are already both language-region, like the > RedHD or the DHD. > In addition to these regional/language chapters, I imagine a union that > can organize a global conference and foster collaboration. What ADHO is > trying to do now. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2015 13:40:12 +0000 From: "Taylor,Laurie Nancy Francesca" Subject: RE: DH organizations around the world In-Reply-To: Hi Alex, Thanks for sharing this fabulous sketch to spark discussion! At the ACURIL (Association of Caribbean University, Research and Institutional Libraries) conference two weeks ago, a couple of more casual conversations on Digital Humanities and Digital Scholarship turned into a series of many conversations where everyone was already involved, but simply hadn’t been naming their work in this way. The ACURIL Cultural Heritage Roundtable is focusing the next year on Digital Scholarship, so it seems like it would make sense to include them in this listing. ACURIL is multi-lingual with materials/activities in French, English, and Spanish. For growing the conversation with ACURIL, both ACURIL and the Caribbean Studies Association are meeting in Haiti in the same week in June, so folks should come!: http://acuril2016haiti.blogspot.com/ Best wishes, Laurie Laurie N.

I just thought you might be interested to know that the first research center on DH in Taiwan was established in 2007 (see http://www.digital.ntu.edu.tw). It is perhaps not so known in the world because it has been focusing mainly on Chinese-language based material. There's also active discussion on forming a Taiwanese Association on DH, since the community is rapidly growing.

I would be also interesting to know more about ADHO's expansion plans (I refer to your sentence "how we can move forward organizationally at the global level, through and around ADHO"). Although ADHO's efforts (like this group) should be recognized and encouraged, I think we should remember that ADHO is not a democratic organization with elected members, etc. as most of DH organizations in the world (including members of ADHO...). It is still a strange hybrid between an invitation-based Private Club and a corporate consortium. As I said in various occasions I would much prefer to see a "federation of diverse associations", instead of applying the "unity in diversity" model. That's why I'm suspicious of any "global leadership". But above all, what I think it would be really strategic is to support and promote *South-South dialogue*. I'd like to remember here the observations of Octavio Kulesz, author of an important survey of digital publishing in developing countries: "Likewise, the electronic solutions that certain countries of the South have implemented to overcome their problems of content distribution can also serve as a model for others, thus facilitating South–South knowledge and technology transfer. (...) Sooner or later, these countries will have to ask themselves what kind of digital publishing highways they must build and they will be faced with two very different options: a) financing the installation of platforms designed in the North; b) investing according to the concrete needs, expectations and potentialities of local authors, readers and entrepreneurs. Whatever the decision of each country may be, the long term impact will be immense." I think that similar questions can be applied to the DH world. So, what kind of DH do we want to build? All the best Domenico _______________________________________________ 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 DF72A11B2; Fri, 26 Jun 2015 03:33:44 +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 51F2ADC4; Fri, 26 Jun 2015 03:33:44 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5471ECDD; Fri, 26 Jun 2015 03:33:42 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150626013342.5471ECDD@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 03:33:42 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.121 n-grams 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: <20150626013344.25298.40911@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 121.

Assemblages is a concept that helps capture the multitude of ways that already-composed data structures inflect and interact with society, its organization and functioning, and the resulting impact on individuals’ daily lives. CDS questions the many assumptions about data that permeate contemporary literature on information and society by locating instances where data may be naively taken to denote objective and transparent informational entities. CDS may be viewed as an emerging field connected to Information Ethics, Software Studies, and Critical Information Studies in that it seeks to question the ethical import of information and Big Data for society. Problems of causality, quality, security, and uncertainty concern CDS scholars. Recent articles outlining the theoretical program of CDS offer a new platform from which to question data in this manner. We seek essays for this special volume that broaden these latest commitments in CDS to include new empirical research projects on information and communication technologies (ICTs) that fall under the umbrella of Big Data, while also seeking to question their attendant epistemological shifts. Through the critical lens of ethics and morality, this special volume opens up CDS to localizations where Big Data can no longer be seen as neutral, and where an ethics of Big Data might emerge. Issues of interest include (but are not limited to): - Causality: how should we find causes in the era of ‘data-driven science?’ Do we need a new conception of causality to fit with new practices? - Quality: how should we ensure that data are good enough quality for the purposes for which we use them? What should we make of the open access movement; what kind of new technologies might be needed? - Security: how can we adequately secure data, while making it accessible to those who need it? How do we protect databases? - Uncertainty: can Big Data help with uncertainty, or does it generate new uncertainties? What technologies are essential to reduce uncertainty elements in data-driven sciences? Proposals of 1000 words are invited for consideration and inclusion in the Special Theme to be published in Big Data & Society (BD&S), an open access peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes interdisciplinary work principally in the social sciences, humanities and computing and their intersections with the arts and natural sciences about the implications of Big Data for societies. Manuscripts should be 8,000 words for an Original Research Article, 3,000 words for a Commentary, and 1,000 words for an essay in the Early Career Research Forum section. All submissions of Original Research Articles to BD&S are double-blind, and triple peer-reviewed. Commentaries and ECR submissions are reviewed by the Guest Editors.

This interests me a lot, as I’m currently doing research into architectures of participation in DH and, in broader terms, the cultural geographies of digital scholarship. I have a number of questions about how you created the visualisation – from that point of view, it would be helpful to have more information about the criteria used to draw boundaries. Some comments/queries: · Geographical boundaries and language sometimes roughly coincide – most often they don’t. I suspect we need a more fine-grained approach, taking multiple perspectives, if we want to reach any firm conclusions · Your ‘about’ page talks of territoriality. When we are talking about associations, it is important to distinguish between [1) their professed geographical area of focus, if that even exists, [2] our perception of their focus, according to the evidence at our disposal [3] organisational pragmatics – e.g. the criteria used to distribute funds, [4] membership data, etc etc. To give three examples of how categorisations can be problematic: I have heard various prominent ACH people object when people identify the organisation too closely with North America at various times over the years; EADH adopted a regional ‘focus’ in the last few years, but has always had, and continues to have (in spite of its clear primary focus on Europe), global outreach (with very strong connections to Japan at various stages, for example); HDH explicitly identifies itself as international, and therefore not just limited to Spain (or indeed Spanish-speaking territories). · If we use membership data, that opens up a whole lot of new questions: there is a difference between location of residence, institutional location, location of birth/origin etc etc. Are we measuring personal identification with a particular geography, the pragmatics of where someone has institutional support, or something else entirely? · There are a whole host of other issues here that affect how we interpret culture, language and geography in DH: the fact that people can speak multiple languages; the disjoint between cultural identity and nationhood; the difficulty in identifying some countries with continents or agreeing on definitions of their boundaries; contested geographies and labels; the fact that professional association membership is probably not a good indicator of actual DH research activity; the varying degrees of accuracy and granularity of various data sources (including membership lists) etc etc. You are admirably honest about the fact that the map is not fully representational; nevertheless, you have created it, you have performed a representation (which is already leading to interpretation by those of us viewing it), and I was wondering if you could say more about which direction(s) you imagine taking this in.

That's what I meant by "union." The devil will be in the (financial and logistic) details! Yes on south-south as a thing of beauty. I'm seeing some of that already from my computer in NYC. Since I live in the north, though, I cannot formally suggest what my friends in the south should or should not do at the international level. I know that many of them benefit from and value south-north collabs, for example. My hope though is that we can shape venues for all orgs to work together as peers, and personally, to make myself useful when needed. I like Roopika Risam's take on this, which is to foster venues of collaborations were local/regional communities decide what counts as a valuable intervention according to their own contexts, and we come together to share our work, to find out which collaborations are possible and to learn from one another. This would be the alternative to a unitary (read universal) system for vetting our programs. The million dollar question is whether ADHO can become the place where these things can happen, and how! A Bandung for DH would be counter-productive and more difficult to pull off, imho. Wouldn't be my place to help such a group happen either! So for now, I must dedicate my working years and energy to working with one foot firmly in ADHO, and the south-north that implies. [answering Paul next] All best! a. --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2015 10:56:37 -0500 From: Amir Simantov Subject: Re: 29.120 DH organizations In-Reply-To: <20150626013143.C58F9DA7@digitalhumanities.org> Thanks for this map Alex - I have just spent 3 hours surfing new organizations I did not know about - all "because of you"...

The map is "hand drawn" in neatline. No precision went into it. Fuzzy seemed rhetorically better suited. (Also less work). I'd like to call it a conversation napkin, in honor of it's birth on a night of collegial conversation at dhsi 2015. 2. These is are key questions. Your 4 distinctions are right on! In the etc, I would add their base of operations, the venues for their conferences, the source of their papers and the *language* they privilege. All of these can be represented by different maps or other ways. The truth will always remain outside of all of them, but we can approximate the ideal napkin map in the sky the more representations we have. In the case of my map, I wanted to provincialize all these organizations a bit. I like to think about these things as Walter Mignolo http://local%20histories/Global%20Designs , who speaks of "spatial confrontations between different concepts of history." Slightly different from his approach, my solution is to reconcile those confrontations within myself, à la Gloria Anzaldúa . As a result, my logic is not "fair" and spread out across the board according to one set of formal rules. On a one by one case, I drew borders that were sometimes sending the message "limit your pretensions," in others, "go forth and prosper!", all according to my "concepts of [our] history," and where I would like to see us go. In other words, this is a humble napkin I bring to our conversations (and I'm delighted by the quality of the one we're having right now!). I hope you've noticed also that I've been changing the map as people have been giving me suggestions and letting me know how they see themselves in my cracked mirror. The about page too. 3. Each of these you mention would continue to refine our conversations. I would like to start with one for current location of employment or affiliation. I volunteer to make a more precise series of layered heat maps, like the one CenterNet has, if all the orgs send me their data. Promise not to share the data with a single living soul unless given permission to. 4. Agreed! And these are precisely the issues I was hoping to get a sense of from folks in the community. We may yet approach our realities by listening to each other and translating each other as much as possible. In other words, how would you draw a map of all of us? How would you map your organization(s)? Who do you represent? How will we transform best in the coming decade or two, leading (hopefully) to a more extensive federation, as Domenico and I discussed? As I suggested above, it would be nice to see more maps, napkin or not. We started with Melissa Terras' map that focused on centers. Then I did this one http://www.arounddh.org/journey/ that focused on projects. Now this one focusing on organizations. At the end of the day, for me the most important thing has been the relationships and conversations that these maps have helped me forge. This one included. Looking forward to seeing you in Sydney! a. _______________________________________________ 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 2F6DB2C84; Sun, 28 Jun 2015 01:23:02 +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 8D02A2C77; Sun, 28 Jun 2015 01:23:01 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id F2D3F2C75; Sun, 28 Jun 2015 01:22:58 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150627232258.F2D3F2C75@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 01:22:58 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.125 jobs: Canada Research Chair; project manager at the BL 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: <20150627232301.6316.9801@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 125.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:21:37 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: simulation and storytelling Sharon Ghamari-Tabrizi, in "The Convergence of the Pentagon and Hollywood" (Memory Bytes: History, Technology, and Digital Culture, ed. Rabinovitz and Geil, 2004), describes in some detail the adoption by the U.S. military of the entertainment industry's storytelling techniques implemented by means of simulation. This chapter follows on from her excellent "Simulating the Unthinkable: Gaming Future War in the 1950s and 1960s", Social Studies of Science 30.2 (2000). In the 2004 piece she describes a U.S. National Research Council workshop in October 1996 at which representatives from film, video game, entertainment and theme-parks came together with those from the Department of Defense, academia and the defense industries. There is much about this convergence that we might productively take an interest in. Let me, however, highlight storytelling in particular. In a military context, Ghamari-Tabrizi points out, skilled storytelling techniques are used to help participants in a VR environment sense that they are in a real environment and behave accordingly. Storytelling functions as a potent form of emotional cueing that would seem to elicit the desired responses. But especially interesting, I think, is the fact that "many conference participants argued that the preferred mode of experiential immersion in electronic media is not the unframed chaos of hypertext, but old-fashioned storytelling." She quotes Alex Seiden of Industrial Light and Magic (note the date -- 1996): "I've never seen a CD-ROM that moved me the way a powerful film has. I've never visited a Web page with great emotional impact. I contend that linear narrative is the fundamental art form of humankind: the novel, the play, the film... these are the forms that define our cultural experience." Comments?

Victorian Studies54.1 (Autumn 2011): > 69-77,185. Sorry for responding a little late... in this connection, I would like to mention that some of the researchers (from the Culturomics Lab) who were involved in creating the Google N-gram Viewer that Andrew refers to above, are currently collaborating with us at the HathiTrust Research Center on an NEH-funded project called the HathiTrust+Bookworm project. This project is intended to plot lexical trends against the HathiTrust corpus (which is quite large, currently about 14 million volumes of digitized text), although our current prototype is set up to run against only pre-1923 volumes, that is about 4 million volumes. The nice thing is that, since the HathiTrust Corpus comes accompanied by quite substantial bibliographic metadata for most volumes, our project is leveraging that metadata for faceted search that allows for plotting lexical trends within fairly well-focused subsets of the collection as defined by the metadata criteria specified by the user. In the near future (possibly in a few months), we expect to have implemented the capability to plot the graph against specific, custom "worksets" that the user can carefully curate (using metadata criteria and optionally culling the returned results by hand). This will allow for n-gram analysis (for literary purposes) at grain sizes as small as a single volume, and as large as the entire HathiTrust corpus — everything in between. The paper by Gibbs and Cohen mentioned by Andrew above actually served as an inspiration for the project — to some degree, the project is an attempt to fulfill the desiderata that Dan Cohen mentions in that paper as worthwhile having. More detailed explanation, including a link to our current prototype, can be found at HathiTrust+Bookworm project blog, https://htrcbookworm.wordpress.com . The current prototype works with individual words, but this will be extended to n-grams with somewhat higher values of n in the near future.

In a sense, it must be true (in fact, a truism) that humans, whose experience of the world is one moment after another, think, act, and indeed, produce and interpret artefacts (and artworks) linearly, one moment after another. A broad understanding of narrativity, then, might construe all art forms as narrative, hypertexts included. Regards, Joshua Mann Research Fellow CODEC Research Centre University of Durham @beJLM --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 13:39:14 +0000 From: René Audet Subject: Re: 29.126 storytelling digitally In-Reply-To: <20150629013541.F3E84A44@digitalhumanities.org> Thanks for this very interesting piece, Willard. Two possible answers come to my mind. The first is the exact coincidence between narrative and the human experience (especially the experience of time-see Paul Ricoeur's works). If we often read that hypertext mimics the human mind's way of connecting information and building meaning, it does not reflect our own sense of living (time, action, sequence, consequences). A narrative structures characters, events, intentionnality in a single text. The second proposition is much more political : storytelling is a way to give (or impose) an answer... Based on its teleological frame (everything is put in place to support/prepare/announce the end), the narrative is quite reassuring: here is how we must understand the situation, how we can explain that illogical behaviour, why this person acts that way. Using storytelling aims to impose a point of view, a worldview. No surprise the Department of Defense used (and certainly uses) storytelling to train its "participants"... Ren?

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. Registration is £20, including lunch on both days and refreshments. Last booking date is 31 August 2015.

Help shape the 2015 Digital Library Federation Forum! The DLF Program Planning Committee received a record number of proposals for our 2015 DLF Forum event, a major conference for digital libraries, data services, library-based digital humanities, and allied fields, which is planned for Vancouver this October—more than double the previous year's total! We now invite your feedback and help. One week of community voting is now open: http://www.diglib.org/forums/2015forum/community-voting/ The title and abstract for each Forum proposal is viewable in our review system, and you are invited to assign scores based on your interest in seeing certain presentations join the program. After voting closes, the PPC will use community input to inform its final decisions. (Proposals for this year’s DLF Liberal Arts College Preconference, which also received a very strong response, are being handled separately, as are workshop registrations.)

It is possible to write several books on how strategy became narrative in the past decade; suffice to say that it is the new new thing until some newer concept comes along.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 17:28:08 +0000 From: Brian Aitken Subject: Online Metaphor Map launched Hi Here at the University of Glasgow we have just completed a three-year-long project which traces metaphor over the entire history of the English language, creating the first ever Metaphor Map resource. It contains thousands of metaphorical connections which can be accessed through a visual or text-based interface. If you're interested you can visit the site here: http://www.glasgow.ac.uk/metaphor Or you can read more below: ---- English language metaphors are “as old as the hills” – or 13 centuries old at the very least – researchers at the School of Critical Studies at the University of Glasgow have found. They have just completed a three-year-long project which traces metaphor over the entire history of the English language, creating the first ever Metaphor Map resource which contains the thousands of metaphorical connections that the researchers have identified. “This project is unique in its scope. While a considerable amount of work on metaphor has been done over the past 40 years, it has never been possible to achieve this level of comprehensiveness until now,” said Dr Wendy Anderson, Principal Investigator on the “Mapping Metaphor with the Historical Thesaurus” project.‌‌ The Metaphor Map is based on the data contained in the Historical Thesaurus of English, which took from 1966-2009 to compile, and its own parent resource, the Oxford English Dictionary. The researchers, who have been funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), have been able to identify well over 10,000 metaphorical connections between different categories and track how language use has changed over the centuries. “These findings support the view that metaphor is pervasive in language and a major mechanism of meaning-change,” said Dr Anderson. “This helps us to see how our language shapes our understanding – the connections we make between different areas of meaning in English show, to some extent, how we mentally structure our world,” she added. “Over the past 30 years, it has become clear that metaphor is not simply a literary phenomenon; metaphorical thinking underlies the way we make sense of the world conceptually. When we talk about ‘a healthy economy’ or ‘a clear argument’ we are using expressions that imply the mapping of one domain of experience (e.g. medicine, sight) onto another (e.g. finance, perception). “When we describe an argument in terms of warfare or destruction (‘he demolished my case’), we may be saying something about the society we live in. The study of metaphor is therefore of vital interest to scholars in many fields, including linguists and psychologists, as well as to scholars of literature.” The Metaphor Map is still a work in progress, but once complete it will also include tens of thousands of examples of words with metaphorical senses; to date, around a quarter of these have been put online. The researchers plan to launch a parallel Metaphor Map for data from Old English (prior to 1150AD) in August, at the International Society of Anglo Saxonists conference in Glasgow. The team, led by Dr Anderson and Research Associate Dr Ellen Bramwell, is also working on another project, “Metaphor in the Curriculum”, to create materials on metaphor for schools. This is funded by the AHRC’s Follow-on Funding for Impact and Engagement strand. ---- Kind regards Brian ----- Brian Aitken MA(Hons) MSc Digital Humanities Research Officer School of Critical Studies Room 506 13 University Gardens University of Glasgow G12 8QJ Email: brian.aitken@glasgow.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)141 330 3392 Web: http://blogs.arts.gla.ac.uk/digital-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, 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 19F742E78; Wed, 1 Jul 2015 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 51A102CAC; Wed, 1 Jul 2015 23:30:38 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B3ECB2CAC; Wed, 1 Jul 2015 23:30:35 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150701213035.B3ECB2CAC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2015 23:30:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.134 use of n-grams 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: <20150701213038.21368.91707@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 134.

For those who are interested in the Google Books n-grams, I might suggest: -- http://googlebooks.byu.edu This interface uses the same n-grams dataset as the "standard interface", but it allows much more powerful searching -- finding collocates (to look at cultural shifts in much more meaningful ways than the simple Culturomics approach), comparing frequency of all words by time period, more powerful part of speech and lemmatization, integration with semantic resources, etc For a quick overview, see: http://googlebooks.byu.edu/compare-googleBooks.asp.

It seems to me that unlike the natural sciences this discipline has the potential to diversify under different conditions: not one set of techniques and practices instantiated everywhere from an Anglo-American model but diverse forms which answer to local culture. So the way to begin (or to start all over) is to ask e.g. what a text is in each instance, what scholars have done with it and so forth. We speak of a universal language of mathematics that makes the mathematized sciences the same everywhere. Insofar as computing is mathematical perhaps we can say the same about it, but at its intersection with human cultural expressions the local intrudes and changes the game. Isn't it a genuine question what digital humanities should look like in each of the locales where it has begun? Is there any evidence that digital humanities is diversifying locally or that practitioners in various parts of the globe are making an attempt to realise the differences?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 2 Jul 2015 20:35:51 +0000 From: Paulina Rousseau Subject: Digital Pedagogy Institute - August 19 - 21, 2015 - Registration Open Dear Colleagues, Registration is now open for the second iteration of the Digital Pedagogy Institute, co-hosted by the University of Toronto Scarborough, Brock University, and Ryerson University, and supported by the generosity of a SSHRC Connections grant and Victoria Owen, UTSC Chief Librarian. This Institute will explore the potential impact that digital pedagogy has on student experience. As emerging technologies have had an immense impact on the way that research is now conducted by scholars in all academic disciplines, there is a move toward the use of computers, applications, and larger, non-discrete data sets for what is increasingly termed “digital scholarship.” These major changes in research methodology mandate the development of new skill sets, both in faculty development and student training. As such, digital literacy and pedagogy must become a priority for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as faculty members who must adapt to and participate in new, digitally-mediated methodologies. The Digital Pedagogy Institute will explore following topics: • How can digital research methodologies be used to improve student learning and engagement? • What are the best methods for teaching students digital skills so that they can actively participate in knowledge mobilization related to digital research? What instructional strategies have proven to be most successful? • What political and ideological decisions do educators (and institutions) involved in digital scholarship make in planning their teaching and research? • How can faculty shift from transmitting knowledge to facilitating collaborative learning, co-inquiring and co-learning with students via activity-centered projects? It will consist of plenary sessions, informational sessions, panel discussions, as well as hands-on workshops involving digital tools for research and curriculum development. Presentations from those who have developed digital projects as part of curriculum will give participants insight into the integration of this skill set into the post-secondary context, and how this integration has the potential to ameliorate learning experience and job readiness. WHO The Digital Pedagogy Institute is open and will bring together faculty members, scholars, librarians, and students with considerable expertise or interest in the area of digital pedagogy.

The majority of tools for data mining and analysis are available in the biggest languages only, which makes it difficult to study the smaller or extinct ones or compare them to for example English. In fact, sometimes researchers don’t even have access to source texts of geographically close cultures because of language barrier (e.g. Estonian and Latvian are mutually incomprehensible). In the case of non-textual material, the limitations are not linguistic, in this case the access to metadata and -information, and cultural interpretations are important, and the challenges big data has to offer to non-textual transcultural research. Thus, it may not possible to get an adequate overview of the material or gain accurate insight as the results are blurred by technical difficulties. At the same time, the translingual and -cultural analysis has long tradition in different disciplines – history, religious studies, linguistics, etc – and introducing the possibilities and advances of digital tools, systems, standards, and the results of research to the academic community is greatly needed. In its ideas and ideologies, the conference is inspired by the work of the SIG of the Alliance of the Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/ Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (GO::DH) which aims to promote the collaboration among digital humanities researchers world-wide and to support the inclusion of the researchers from all geographic regions, cultures, languages and types of economies, and by the plenary speech by Isabel Galina at the 2013 Digital Humanities ADHO conference in Nebraska; and of course by the necessity for the more thorough computational competence in our everyday work. The conference is third in the series of yearly digital humanities conferences in Estonia and includes a special panel on ongoing projects and developments in Estonian digital humanities. We welcome contributions from the following areas: * data-mining (incl visual, multimedia and other data) * working with data in various languages, incl small or extinct languages * translingual analysis * computational ontologies * cross-linguistic and -cultural research in the field of digital humanities * applications targeted at (usable with) various languages * the role of English as lingua franca in digital humanities, assets and drawbacks * compiling multilingual data collections (e.g. by crowdsourcing) * ideas, outlooks, projects and developments in Estonian digital humanities Please submit a proposal that contains your full name, institutional and disciplinary affiliation with a very brief academic CV, the title of your paper and an abstract of 200-250 words. Authors will be informed about the status of their submission by August 31, 2015. Participation fee of the conference is €50. The language of the conference is English.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2015 21:35:49 -0400 From: Francois Lachance Subject: Re: [Humanist] 29.126 storytelling digitally In-Reply-To: <20150629013541.F3E84A44@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, The post 29.126 has been niggling at me for days. I originally want to reply with a simple observation that the appeal to storytelling is cast in such a way to avoid the complications of narration's relation to narrative (the telling and the told; shown and said). But it was the theme of "borrowing" from one domain by another that leads me to recall a counter-narrative where there is no need to borrow between domains since the military-industrial-entertainment complex is one entity. I contend that fundamental to human interaction is narration: attentiveness to how stories are related. Stories are for sorting and storing. *Sometimes this soothes paranoia induced by too much linearity.* A while ago (1996), I explored recursivity and narrativity. My starting point was the ability to ask questions (and learn from one's bodily reactions). The musings may or may not have military relevance. Judge for yourselves: Pedagogical situations are sensory. They are also interpersonal. Because they are sensory this makes even learning by oneself interpersonal. Egocentric speech is like a dialogue between the senses. In Vygotsky's and Luria's experiments, children placed in problem-solving situations that were slightly too difficult for them displayed egocentric speech. One could consider these as self-induced metadiscursive moments. The self in crisis will disassociate and one's questionning becomes the object of a question. Not only is the human self as a metabeing both fracturable and affiliable in itself, it is also prone to narrativity. That is, the human self will project its self-making onto the world in order to generate stories from sequences and to break stories into recombinant sequences. Its operations on signs are material practices with consequences for world-making. The fracturable affiliable self calls for reproductive models suitable to the interactions of multi-sensate beings, models that render dyads dialectical, questionable, answerable. Narrativity understood dialectically does not merely mean making sequences or strings of events into stories but also stories into things, strung together for more stories. From such an understanding, emerge non-dyadic narratives of reproduction, narratives where a thing-born transforms itself into an event, comes to understand itself as a process. http://homes.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance/S6D.HTM Funny to consider that those remarks were based in a consideration of language and feedback mechanisms. Make me think that the storytelling as "potent form of emotional cueing" may be directed to undesired responses such as greater self-reflexivity. And depending on how they are parsed, Hollywood films can contribute to undesired responses including escape. :) Francois Lachance, Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance to think is often to sort, to store and to shuffle: humble, embodied tasks On Mon, 29 Jun 2015, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 126. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 11:21:37 +1000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: simulation and storytelling > > > Sharon Ghamari-Tabrizi, in "The Convergence of the Pentagon and > Hollywood" (Memory Bytes: History, Technology, and Digital Culture, ed. > Rabinovitz and Geil, 2004), describes in some detail the adoption by > the U.S. military of the entertainment industry's storytelling techniques > implemented by means of simulation.

The Digital Anthology Encoding Specialist (DAES) will work closely with our CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Curation on a new project to establish clear and consistent encoding of 36 carefully selected plays from the early modern period using Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) markup. The DAES will be responsible for helping develop the XML schema, correcting current markup, and enhancing existing encoding work to correctly identify and verify such elements as act and scene divisions, speakers and speech prefixes, cast lists, stage directions, or other information. They will help establish standards and workflows for coding correction, participate in project documentation, and identify areas for further improvement as the project develops. This is an exciting opportunity to be in on the start of a project that will open the study of these, and other, plays to a wider audience on open and free platforms. This is a grant funded position at no more than 50K a year plus full benefits. Further details are available at http://www.folger.edu/employment-opportunities#DAES Should you have any questions, I am happy to answer them off-list, as I am the CLIR postdoctoral fellow mentioned above.

Harris" Subject: Open Peer Review Now Live - Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities Dear Colleagues: Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities: Concepts, Models, and Experiments, edited by Rebecca Frost Davis, Matthew K. Gold, Katherine D. Harris, and Jentery Sayers, is a dynamic open-access collection currently in development on MLA Commons. The editors invite your participation in the open peer review of this collection. Each entry in the collection focuses on a keyword in the field of digital pedagogy (ranging from “queer” to “interface” to “professionalization”) and is curated by an experienced practitioner, who briefly contextualizes a concept and then provides ten supporting artifacts, such as syllabi, prompts, exercises, lesson plans, and student work, drawn from courses, classrooms, and projects across the humanities. New keywords will be added in batches throughout 2015, with fifty keywords to be included in the final project. Please visit https://digitalpedagogy.commons.mla.org to read through and respond to the first set of keywords, now available for open review. The official review period for the first set of keywords will end on 3 August 2015. We encourage you to pass it along to other colleagues who may be interested. We would appreciate your assistance with this project and look forward to hearing from you.

The full job posting is available at http://bit.ly/1GuD1Ql. --- The New York Public Library is seeking a uniquely qualified individual to join its digital R&D team, NYPL Labs, in the service of building a historical geospatial data platform for New York City. This project, The New York City Space/Time Directory (http://spacetime.nypl.org), fuses The Library’s collection of maps and historical data with the latest in web mapping technology in order to make them available to the public as a service. (This also taps into our love for time travel metaphors.) Do you want to change how libraries and other public institutions engage with civic tech, how the public interacts with history, and to give New Yorkers a ubiquitous connection to their city’s past? Are you interested in contributing to a major public knowledge project that could serve as a model for other cities? If your answer is an enthusiastic “yes” -- and you care about collaboration, curiosity, technical excellence, and continuous improvements -- NYPL Labs is the right place for you. Responsibilities: The Job: You’ll be designing and building the architecture and infrastructure for a historical geospatial web service. It will look an awful lot like a modern geospatial web service (and may share a lot of the same tools and code). You’ll be using the same processes used for making a modern service such as OpenStreetMap while also applying conflation processes to NYPL’s historical collections and crowdsourced data. Note: You won’t be starting from scratch. Over the past few years, NYPL has developed a workflow for digitizing and geo-rectifying historical maps, and for mining building-level vector data through computational process and crowdsourcing. We've even prototyped a historical gazetteer. We need your help to build upon these foundations to create a true open source, open access search of New York’s historical places. You will join NYPL Labs’ Product and R&D Group, the band of artists, designers, and technologists behind Building Inspector ( http://buildinginspector.nypl.org/), NYPL Digital Collections ( http://digitalcollections.nypl.org/), The Stereogranimator ( http://stereo.nypl.org/), and more. You’ll be working hand-in-hand with NYPL’s Geospatial Librarian, Labs’ Director, our Interaction Lead, our Metadata team, and a host of other collaborators, internal and external, to craft and build the Space/Time Directory. As Space/Time Directory Engineer, you will: - Build a backend spatial database system supporting the integration of heterogeneous historical and contemporary datasets - Design a system to disambiguate, confirm and confer the connections between places and spaces over time using a combination of expert knowledge, crowdsourcing, and consensus computation - Design data contribution channels and remediation tools for librarians, archivists, domain experts and members of the public - Build easy-to-use and well documented APIs - Design and publish reproducible tools, software, and workflows to allow the flourishing of other Space/Time Directories to public, open access repositories - Communicate your work to the world through blogging, conferences, and hack events and workshops hosted by NYPL Labs - Advocate and facilitate a broader public conversation around this project and and how it fits into the new definition of what libraries can be Your office will be NYPL’s flagship library and architectural landmark, the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 42nd St. (also known as “The One With The Lions”, or “The Library From Ghostbusters”). The work is on a roughly 9-5 schedule (flexible), with periodic evening engagement activities, a bit of travel, and the very occasional weekend commitment. But we take the life/work balance very seriously, and the Library provides and excellent benefits and vacation package. It's a great place to work. This position is supported by a generous grant from the Knight Foundation ( https://www.newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/feedback/nyc-space-time-directory-community-driven-urban-history-with-the-ease-of-google-maps) and is guaranteed for two years. There is a strong desire to continue the project beyond that, and the Library has a track record of moving grant-incubated projects into core operations. Qualifications: - Comfortable building a large, scalable data infrastructure - Extensive expertise in web back-end technologies such as Python, Ruby, PHP, or Node.js, Go - Experience collaborating closely with front-end developers and designers - Appetite for engagement with a community of contributors, technical and nontechnical alike, beyond the institution's walls - Ability to write excellent prose as well as code - Aptitude for learning and teaching new technologies - Comfortable in both collaborative and self-directed environments Bonus Points: - Contributor on a large open-source project - Experience working with some of the following: - PostGIS - ElasticSearch - GDAL/OGR - OpenStreetMap Infrastructure - Neo4J or similar graph database - Interesting hobbies _______________________________________________ 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 DD6A92FFB; Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:35:09 +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 2DE1E2F5A; Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:35:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4B0771221; Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:35:06 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150707193506.4B0771221@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:35:06 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.147 A happy birthday to the Digital Dictionary of Buddhism!

(Charles Muller) In-Reply-To: <20150706231411.3926E2E4D@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Colleagues, Although I hesitate to talk in praise of my own project, I have been encouraged by some of my collaborators to make an announcement of the 20th anniversary of the founding on the web of the Digital Dictionary of Buddhism (http://www.buddhism-dict.net/ddb/) and the CJKV-English Dictionary (http://www.buddhism-dict.net/dealt/). It may be the case that the 20-year history of the project is of some historical note, since it went online before the days of Internet Explorer, Google, Wikipedia, and all of the modern social networking apps. We began an eminently successful attempt at "crowd-sourcing" long before the term came into vogue; the DDB has become recognized as a basic research tool in the field, being subscribed to by more than 50 academic institutions worldwide (http://www.buddhism-dict.net/ddb/subscribing_libraries.html); and it continues to grow apace in its coverage of terminology, as new collaborators and contributors continue to get involved. There are probably not too many web resources out there that can claim this kind of long and continuous history of growth and development. To properly commemorate this occasion, I have rewritten the historical overview of the project, available at (http://www.buddhism-dict.net/dicts-intro.html). And I would like to express my deep thanks to the hundreds of scholars who have contributed to this project in large and small ways. We shall forge on ahead into the future!

A workshop for graduate students and early career researchers Tuesday 8th December 2015 Mathematics Institute and St Anne's College, Oxford The mathematician Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), daughter of poet Lord Byron, is celebrated as a pioneer of computer science. The notes she added to her translation of Luigi Menabrea's paper on Charles Babbage's analytical engine (1843) are considered to contain a prototype computer program. During her short life, Lovelace not only contributed original ideas to the plans for this early computer; she also imagined wider possibilities for the engine, such as its application to music, and meditated on its limitations. Lovelace leaves a legacy not just as a computer scientist, but also as a muse for literary writers, a model to help us understand the role of women in science in the nineteenth century, and an inspiration for neo-Victorian and steampunk traditions. As part of the University of Oxford's celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of Lovelace's birth, this one-day workshop will bring together graduates and early career researchers to discuss the varied cultural legacies of this extraordinary mathematician. The day will feature an expert panel including graphic novelist Sydney Padua and biographer Richard Holmes. The day will conclude with a reception and buffet when there will be opportunities to meet with speakers from the Ada Lovelace 200 Symposium, which will also take place in the Mathematics Institute on the following two days (9th-10th December). Researchers from all disciplines are invited to submit proposals for papers on the influences of Lovelace's work, on topics including, but not limited to, literature, history, mathematics, music, visual art, and computer science. This might include: * Lovelace's place in the study of the history of science. * Lovelace and women in science in the nineteenth century * Early nineteenth-century scientific networks, including Lovelace's relationship with such individuals as Charles Babbage and Mary Somerville. * Lovelace and discussions about the role of the imagination in scientific practice in the nineteenth century. * Lovelace as translator and commentator. * Mathematics and music, and the musical possibilities Lovelace envisaged for Babbage's engine. * Lovelace's own textual legacies, such as her correspondence, childhood exercises and mathematical notes held in the Bodleian. * Lovelace's technological legacies, from her seminal work on Babbage's Analytical Engine to her impact on computer programming today. * Lovelace's role in the steampunk tradition, from Gibson and Sterling's The Difference Engine to Sydney Padua's The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, and neo-Victorian fashion. * Efforts and activities to commemorate and memorialise Lovelace, from the recent Google Doodle to the annual Ada Lovelace Day. Proposals, not exceeding 250 words, for 15-minute papers should be submitted to adalovelaceworkshop@ell.ox.ac.uk by 5pm, Friday 28th August 2015. Those who are accepted to speak at this graduate workshop will also be offered free registration for the Ada Lovelace 200 Symposium taking place on the following two days.

Invited speakers will include: Sarah Angliss, Georgina Born, Simon Emmerson, Leigh Landy, Trevor Pinch. Full details of the call, including submission guidelines and some suggested thematic areas, are given below, and can also be found online at http://ahem2016.wordpress.com/call-for-papers. The deadline for abstract submissions is 31 October 2015. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: ALTERNATIVE HISTORIES OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC (AHEM) The story of the genesis and development of electronic/electroacoustic music is often told in the same familiar way. Experiments in musique concrète in Paris and elektronische Musik in Cologne played a central role in European developments, while activities in New York such as those of the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center, John Cage and his Music for Tape-Recorders group, and Louis and Bebe Barron are frequently proffered as the most prominent American contributions. These activities were significant, of course; but they were not the only progenitors of modern-day electronic music. There are many, many other ways in which the story of electronic music’s history and development could be told. For example… What does electronic music look like if we focus on the contributions of individuals whose work is less widely known; less widely recognised? What happens if we step away from the Western European and North American institutions that are normally figured as central to the genesis and development of electronic music? Or, what happens if we question, or explore the mechanisms of, their authority? What happens if we change our object(s) of study; if we look at artefacts and objects rather than composers and works, for instance? Are there tools, techniques, instruments that played an important role in shaping electronic music that remain under-recognised or misunderstood? What about when we listen to the marginalised voices; what versions of electronic music’s history do they tell? Or, what happens if we change our methods of study, so as to highlight aspects that hitherto went unnoticed, such as underlying social, political, or economic dimensions? How does current music draw on the origins of the form? This conference is being staged as part of an AHRC-funded project exploring the work of the English musician and musicologist Hugh Davies (1943-2005). In the late 1960s, Davies produced a comprehensive inventory of electronic music compositions, entitled International Electronic Music Catalog (1968), in which he documented the output of 560 studios in 39 countries. This challenged the hegemony of the Paris, Cologne, and New York schools, whose activities dominated the literature of the 1950s and 60s. As such, Davies provided what was perhaps the first alternative version of electronic music’s history. While this conference is not directly ‘about’ Hugh Davies, then, it does explore some of the broader issues raised by his work. There are many ways in which an ‘alternative’ history could be framed. The purpose of this conference is to explore all possibilities; to focus upon different ways of telling the story of electronic music; to explore its alternative histories. Call for Papers We seek proposals for papers/presentations that fall under the rubric of ‘alternative histories of electronic music’, as sketched out above. We welcome submissions that focus on any one or combination of the following (note that these are suggestive rather than prescriptive): · Pathways from electronic music’s past to electronic music’s present that are ‘a little bit different’ from what one might expect. · Individuals, institutions, inventions, or perspectives that have been neglected or under-represented up to now. · Alternative methodological and/or theoretical perspectives; studies that encourage us to look at the history of electronic music in a different way. · Ethnographic, anthropological, and/or interdisciplinary approaches; implementation of methods native to science and technology studies (STS); other methodological approaches that are apt to reveal ‘alternative histories’. · Alternative narratives; studies that compel us to attend to, or listen to, different things as we navigate electronic music’s history. · Marginalised voices; stories of electronic music’s history and development that have been sidelined, for whatever reasons. · Non-Western European, Non-North American developments, and/or activities that happened outside those typically considered in electronic music histories. · Unconventional or DIY approaches; work that has flouted the norms and expectations of its epoch. · Developments that have shaped or changed the direction of electronic music, but which remain as yet under- or un-recognised. · Notions of genre/style/idiom as a lens for alternative histories. · Studies that might be thought of as continuing the work that Hugh Davies started with his International Electronic Music Catalog, for example by focusing on the electronic music of under-represented nations. · Tools, techniques, instruments (etc.) that played an important role in shaping electronic music, but which remain under-recognised or misunderstood. · Interrogating the (perhaps invisible) driving forces behind institutions of cultural production, so as to reveal why certain models of electronic music dominate, or appear to dominate. · Historic perspectives on relationships between electronic music and other musical/cultural practices. · We are interested in how electronic music came to be the way it currently is; and in the developments and perceptions that have shaped this. Proposals are therefore likely to incorporate a strong historical element, either focusing directly upon historic developments, and/or framing the current state of affairs in the light of historic perspectives. (Proposals from individuals to discuss their own creative work are discouraged unless they provide strong insights in the above areas.) Submissions are welcomed from all disciplines, but particularly from electroacoustic music studies, science and technology studies, history/philosophy of science/technology, and sound studies. Submission Guidelines Please submit an abstract of approximately 500 words, plus brief biographies of approximately 100 words for each author, using the template provided, by email to ahem@leeds.ac.uk. The template can be downloaded here in MS Word and RTF (Rich Text Format). Timeline Call for papers: 7 July 2015 Deadline for abstracts: 31 October 2015 Notification of results: 1 December 2015 Conference: 15-16 April 2016 Publication Plans There are plans for a thematic issue of Organised Sound (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=OSO).

Assemblages is a concept that helps capture the multitude of ways that already-composed data structures inflect and interact with society, its organization and functioning, and the resulting impact on individuals’ daily lives. CDS questions the many assumptions about data that permeate contemporary literature on information and society by locating instances where data may be naively taken to denote objective and transparent informational entities. CDS may be viewed as an emerging field connected to Information Ethics, Software Studies, and Critical Information Studies in that it seeks to question the ethical import of information and Big Data for society. Problems of causality, quality, security, and uncertainty concern CDS scholars. Recent articles outlining the theoretical program of CDS offer a new platform from which to question data in this manner. We seek essays for this special volume that broaden these latest commitments in CDS to include new empirical research projects on information and communication technologies (ICTs) that fall under the umbrella of Big Data, while also seeking to question their attendant epistemological shifts. Through the critical lens of ethics and morality, this special volume opens up CDS to localizations where Big Data can no longer be seen as neutral, and where an ethics of Big Data might emerge. Issues of interest include (but are not limited to): - Causality: how should we find causes in the era of ‘data-driven science?’ Do we need a new conception of causality to fit with new practices? - Quality: how should we ensure that data are good enough quality for the purposes for which we use them? What should we make of the open access movement; what kind of new technologies might be needed? - Security: how can we adequately secure data, while making it accessible to those who need it? How do we protect databases? - Uncertainty: can Big Data help with uncertainty, or does it generate new uncertainties? What technologies are essential to reduce uncertainty elements in data-driven sciences? Proposals of 1000 words are invited for consideration and inclusion in the Special Theme to be published in Big Data & Society (BD&S), an open access peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes interdisciplinary work principally in the social sciences, humanities and computing and their intersections with the arts and natural sciences about the implications of Big Data for societies. Manuscripts should be 8,000 words for an Original Research Article, 3,000 words for a Commentary, and 1,000 words for an essay in the Early Career Research Forum section. All submissions of Original Research Articles to BD&S are double-blind, and triple peer-reviewed. Commentaries and ECR submissions are reviewed by the Guest Editors. Proposals should be sent to the Guest Editors: ailiadis@purdue.edu and f.russo@uva.nl Manuscript Guidelines: http://www.uk.sagepub.com/msg/bds.htm#PEERREVIEWPOLICY Style Guidelines: http://www.uk.sagepub.com/repository/binaries/pdf/SAGE_UK_style_guide_short.pdf Proposal Deadline: July 10, 2015 *Extended Deadline July 24th* Notification of Acceptance: end of July Paper Deadline: October 4, 2015 Reviews Returned: end of December Revised Paper Deadline: February 29, 2016 Anticipated Publication Date: Spring/Summer 2016 CFP link: http://bigdatasoc.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/call-for-proposals-special-theme-on.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, 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 BCCB33017; Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:42:52 +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 1E5633011; Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:42:52 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 683742F45; Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:42:49 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150707194249.683742F45@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2015 21:42:49 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.149 pubs: digital humanities & media 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 X-PPP-Message-ID: <20150707194252.25126.54438@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 149.

Recent discipline-wide discussions in Flow and Media Commons, as well as at the SCMS and MLA conferences, have emphasized the crossovers between the two. For this issue of the Cinema Journal Teaching Dossier, we seek contributions that bring this discussion into the classroom. How do the concerns of DH work, with its emphases on innovative scholarly architectures, multimedia components, and cross-disciplinary hybridity, speak to evolving trends in media studies pedagogy? What kinds of pedagogical practices engage and capitalize on DH’s emphases on praxis and design? How can media studies practice model and promote a productive collaboration around computing in the humanities? Possible areas of engagement/intervention include: * co-teaching DH courses with faculty from outside the media studies discipline * information and computer literacy through a media studies lens * engaging critical making and computational thinking * developing digital resources for cross-disciplinary curricula * data-driven course design * hacking in media studies courses * using/designing/imagining DH tools for media studies archival research * engaging existing media-related DH resources for assignment design (cinemetrics, timeline of historical film color, manyeyes, tableau, &tc) * media studies students, mapping & GIS data * digital sustainability as a foundational praxis for curriculum design * research processes that foreground open access work * experiments with multimedia publication * reverse engineering the classroom Submit a 250-word abstract for a proposed 1500-word essay, briefly describing the essay topic, and a 150-word biography to Melanie E S Kohnen (mek8@nyu.edu) and Leah Shafer (shafer@hws.edu) by July 17.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2015 08:06:14 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: machines, machines everywhere? In the New York Review of Books for 9 July Tim Flannery reports on Paul G. Falkowski, Life's Engines: How Microbes Made Earth Habitable (Princeton 2015), in "How you consist of trillions of tiny machines". He comments, > At a personal level, Falkowski's work is also challenging. We are > used to thinking of ourselves as composed of billions of cells, but > Falkowski points out that we also consist of trillions of > electrochemical machines that somehow coordinate their intricate > activities in ways that allow our bodies and minds to function with > the required reliability and precision. As we contemplate the > evolution and maintenance of this complexity, wonder grows to near > incredulity. What interests me about Falkowski's argument here is its instantiation of human-as-machine on the nano-organismic level. This is not at all to say that he is somehow wrong to do this or wrong about it -- who are we to say? -- nor to remark on the quite amazing success of the human-machine metaphor, only to observe that we continue to talk in a particular way about ourselves, about the world. But before we get too far with this it's good to recall Minsky's point about what is meant here by "machine". Having grown up when and where I did, the word immediately and always conjures levers and gears, which try as I might I cannot dismiss. Which leads me to my question: what now do we mean by "machine"? And, apart from the tendency to find them, whatever they are, wherever we look, how is this meaning structuring our thoughts? (Or is "structuring" itself all wrong?) And why do such thoughts belong here? I think because we're self-identified as bringing machines into the study of the arts and letters. Are we bringing these machines home?

In-Reply-To: <20150708222037.BD0812CFE@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard Perhaps “machine” can be synonymous with “system.” I view the term fairly broadly and abstractly. For instance, a Finite State Machine is an abstract machine that can be defined algebraically or in a diagram — it is a “machine” on “paper.” Likewise, machines can be made with organic material or gears. I realize that there may be a tendency to think of a “machine as the other,” but I am not an adherent of that definition. There is nothing wrong with working “within the machine” (Pink Floyd in the background), “being a machine”, or “being composed of machines.” What’s not to like? -paul On Jul 8, 2015, at 5:20 PM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 150. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Thu, 09 Jul 2015 08:06:14 +1000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: machines, machines everywhere? > > > In the New York Review of Books for 9 July Tim Flannery reports on Paul > G.

In-Reply-To: <20150708222037.BD0812CFE@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I see here a case of reflected analogy--something that happens a lot in the history of Artificial Intelligence. We (humans) built big complicated telephone exchanges, then said these look like brains, so we thought cognition works like telephone exchanges work. Then we built computers, and said brains seem like computers, and went on to investigate cognition as computation. This pattern of thinking--build something that does something, (a machine), "see" something of us in this machine and the way it works, then start thinking we are like the machine we built--is quite common, and is, I would say, what Falkowski does in "Life's Engines": finding answers about what we are and how we work in stuff we build and make work, and then, crucially, forgetting that the notions first came from what we built and made work. Making machines that work (typically) takes significant designing and engineering knowledge, understanding, expertise, and effort. Machines can not be brought into existence without all this. Nature builds things, equally intricate and complex, and more so, but not by designing and carefully engineering them: by (Neo)Darwinian Evolution. Nature's ways are different from our Human ways. We build machines and know and understand how they work (and don't). Nature evolves things, but doesn't know or understand what get's built: Nature knows nothing! Seeing likenesses, inspirations, analogous workings, is useful and fun, but it doesn't make for an identity between Human made machines and Nature evolved things. Calling some Naturally evolved thing a machine, or engine, doesn't make it one. So, appearing to say that Nature built things are machines, can be, and is, confusing. It's to do with the nature of being. Being Human is not, I would say, satisfactorily understood as being made up of many (trillions) of machines: no designs and no engineering involved. Being a Car Factory is well understood this way. Using machines to know and understand things about being human is fine. Building this knowing and understanding out of what we know and understand to design and build these machines is confusing. You can see this in the Flannery quote you present "Falkowski points out that we also consist of trillions of electrochemical machines that somehow coordinate their intricate activities in ways that allow our bodies and minds to function with the required reliability and precision." The "somehow coordinate their intricate activities" gives it away. In Nature built systems this coordination comes along with the evolution of the parts coordinated. It's intrinsic to the parts and their interactions--and, as a consequence, often very hard to know and understand. In Human built machines, this coordination is designed and engineered by us, and is externally specified, and usually based upon sound engineering principles and understandings. Nature is not an Engineer, nor a Designer. Nature collects what works well enough for it to (collectively) build more of what works. How the "somehow" was arrived at matters. It make the difference between what is (well) called a machine, and what is not.

Digital technologies and power relations in the 20th and 21st century Dear community, The 4th Swiss Congress of Historical Sciences (9th-11th of June 2016 at the University of Lausanne) has launched a call for papers on the following topic: ”The power of algorithms. Digital technologies and power relations in the 20th and 21st century.” Contributions with an historical approach from all fields of the humanities and social sciences are welcome. Argument: Unlike individual and collective agents, technological developments are often perceived as being neutral, when it comes to their intentions or effects. This panel questions this notion considering the recent history of digital technologies and the Internet. The panel’s subject is the power of algorithms, namely the role of digital technologies in power relations from the second half of the 20th century up to the present. The panel is interested in concrete case studies that demonstrate how the development or implementation of digital technologies modified established power balances. These case studies might also focus on the power struggles surrounding the development of digital technologies. From their very beginning, in particular during their first years of existence, digital technologies have been complex and expensive. Are they therefore first and foremost reserved for an elite? What consequences does the generalized digitization of communications have for the relations between producers and users of digital technologies? Is the growing mass of users and data producers increasingly at the mercy of monopolizing technology suppliers? Who are possible mediators between these two parties? Growing amounts of available data volumes are exploited more and more, typically by organizations, and then re-used in numerous ways. Analyses of the role of computer science in the management and decision-making process of enterprises are thus very welcome; in particular those questioning the effects of said technologies on hierarchic relationships. In this context research might also focus on hijackings of digital technologies for subversive purposes and their mobilization by anti-establishment movements. Among the most widespread demands surrounding digital technologies are free access and global exchange of information. These demands circumvent and challenge numerous traditional power spheres, be it by the targeted publication of confidential information, by the analysis of huge volumes of data or by the open interpretation of copyright legislation. At this crossroads of global exchanges and national interests, one encounters strong tensions and a re-nationalization of cyberspace, when it comes to issues such as surveillance and the control of the Internet. Submissions of paper suggestions: The deadline for paper suggestions is August 25th 2015. Submissions can be made in French, German, Italian or English. Selected contributions will be published in the Journal “Histoire et Informatique” in 2017. Paper suggestions without presentation are also eligible for the publication. Please submit your suggestion for a paper (max. 500 words) to Christiane Sibille (christiane.sibille@dodis.ch) and Enrico Natale (enrico.natale@infoclio.ch) via e-mail.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2015 09:26:57 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: gears John Naughton has reminded me of the Foreword to Seymour Pappert's Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas (1980). For thinking about machines and the meaning they have for us it is, I think, an essential reading. Thanks to the Lifelong Kindergarten at MIT, the Foreword itself may be found at https://llk.media.mit.edu/courses/readings/gears-v1.pdf. (The seasoned URL-choppers among us will likely discover several other items of interest at https://llk.media.mit.edu/courses/readings/.) Pappert's whole book, though poorly formatted, may be found at http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/mindstorms.pdf. Asking how children learn rather than what scholars want (i.e. know that they want) seems to me a far superior starting point. Neurological plasticity and the odd extraordinary experience along the line give me hope that not only children and the professional lives of developmental psychologists will benefit. The phenomenon of "reflected analogy" that Tim Smithers has pointed to I prefer to think of as co-evolutionary development, with no implication of progress, just a 'rolling out'. Still a problem remains with that term, since it suggests a rolling out of what's already there to be rolled out. Is it? Perhaps. Ian Hacking's term "looping effects" (in Rewriting the Soul) avoids that problem but carries the implication of closed circularity. In any case technological history provides abundant evidence that we refashion ourselves from our inventions, as McLuhan also noted somewhere. I prefer to think of this as just what happens with no moral judgment of the process -- as long as we remain self- aware, and so able to step back and look critically, speculatively at what we're doing. Let us say we are *as if* composed of a gazillion biological nanobots. What follows from that? Why are we thinking in this way? In the moment before as-if becomes is, there's a chance for some insight. Comments?

These competitions aim to inspire innovations in computational methods that generate artistic products, such as literary, musical, and visual art. https://math.dartmouth.edu/~turingtests/ - The "DigiLit" prize competition encourages the creation of algorithms able to produce a "human-level" short story of the kind that might be intended for a short story collection produced in a well-regarded MfA program or a piece for The New Yorker. The prize seeks to reward algorithms that could, for example, write stories for a creative writing class in which students are asked to submit a new short story each day. - PoetiX is a completion in computer-generated sonnet writing. While, there are many forms of sonnet, for the purposes of the prize we are considering only '€œtraditional' sonnets: fourteen line poems, in iambic pentameter, in either 'Shakesperean' or 'œPetrarchan' form. The former is further characterized by an “abab cdcd efef gg” rhyme scheme, and the latter as an octet of rhyme scheme “abba abba” followed by a sestet with no fixed form. - "AlgoRhythms" "AlgoRhythms" is a dance music Turing test for live DJ-ing, co-sponsored with Dartmouth College's Program in Digital Musics. We will find out whether we can tell the difference between humans and machines when it comes to selecting the music we want to hear and move to.

[1] Using JSTOR’s Data For Research service, it is possible for anybody to first search & browse the totality of JSTOR. [2] The reader is then able to create and download a “dataset” describing found items of interest. This dataset includes a citations.xml file. The Browser takes this citations.xml file as input and then: 1) harvests the content, 2) indexes it, 3) does some analysis against the content, 4) creates a few graphs illustrating characteristics of the dataset, and finally 5) generates a browsable “catalog” in the form of an HTML table. The table includes columns for things like authors, titles, dates as well as page lengths, number of words, and coefficients denoting the use of color words, “big” names, and “great” ideas. In the near future the Browser will support search as well as the generation of a report describing each reader-generated (curated) collection. You can see a number of collections created to date, including writings about Thoreau, Emerson, Dickinson, Longfellow, and Poe. [3] Combined with similar tools designed to work against the HathiTrust and/or EEBO-TCP, the ultimate goal is to enable students and scholars to easily do research against massive amounts of content quickly and easily. [4, 5] I’m looking for additional sample content. If you create a dataset from DFR, then send me the citations.xml file, and I will use it as input for the Browser. “Wanna play?” [1] Browser on GitHub - http://bit.ly/jstor-workset-browser [2] Data For Research - http://dfr.jstor.org [3] sample collections - http://dh.crc.nd.edu/sandbox/jstor-workset-browser/ [4] HathiTrust Workset Browser - https://github.com/ericleasemorgan/HTRC-Workset-Browser [5] EEBO-TCP Workset Browser - https://github.com/ericleasemorgan/EEBO-TCP-Workset-Browser — Eric Lease Morgan, Librarian _______________________________________________ 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 6F67F5F36; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 22:40:50 +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 9D0965F28; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 22:40:49 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8C3342F63; Sat, 11 Jul 2015 22:40:46 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150711204046.8C3342F63@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2015 22:40:46 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.160 postdocs & "The Life of Words" at Waterloo 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: <20150711204050.21999.65632@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 160.

The initial focus is split between building up an enhanced OED to investigate the generic composition of evidence quotations, and developing approaches for using large poetry corpora alongside the dictionary. In the final two years of the project, there will be a funded postdoctoral position, with applications to be considered in 2017. Meanwhile if anyone who might be in a position to bring their own postdoc funding (e.g. SSHRC or other) has an interest in joining the project, I'd be very happy to support their application to the funding agency.

So, appearing to say that Nature built things are machines, can be, and is, confusing." Thinking by analogy has of course its own dignity as a means of acquired creativity, if it is not a technique of creative writing to make familiar things look strange. There may have been too much thinking by analogy in Postmodern writing, and never must we cede trying not to fall victim to the words we are using, but can we ever escape from the language we are speaking and not lose its meaning for us and for those who are trying to understand us? From its beginning as a technical term that is defined and reflected upon, mechanics in the meaning of "design" (from the same root as "to make") has been used in opposition to autopoetic nature. As Pseudo-Aristotle writes in the introduction to his Mechanica: "One marvels at things that happen according to nature, to the extent the cause is unknown, and at things happening contrary to nature, done through art for the advantage of humanity. Nature, so far as our benefit is concerned, often works just the opposite to it. [...] So whenever it is necessary to do something counter to nature, it presents perplexity on account of the difficulty, and art [techne] is required. We call that part of art solving such perplexity a mechane." (tr. Thomas N. Winter http://digitalcommons.unl.edu/classicsfacpub/68/). When Siegfried Giedion began to write his seminal "Mechanization takes Command, a contribution to anonymous history" in 1941, he was convinced that "[t]he coming period has to reinstate basic human values. [...] It has to bridge the gap that, since the onset of mechanization, has split our modes of thinking from our modes of feeling." (1948, v) Giedion's conclusion of "Man in equipoise" or "Man in a dynamic equilibrium" may be as relevant today as ever. To think of computers within the humanities as "machines" (as Willard has tentatively suggested), introduces difficulties that miss the problem. Computers are man-made and man is part of nature. Little within a human body is a machine, apart from a pacemaker perhaps. We must invent a new language and and a new way of thinking to comprehend the system nature and ourselves have created so that we may survive. If we may survive. The current situation within and around Europe is a lesson to learn from.

In-Reply-To: <20150708222037.BD0812CFE@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, I found interesting in your post about Falkowski's Life's Engines (Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 150.) that in the attempt to imagine the multicellular machines the appeal was to mechanisms (levers and gears). The invocation of Minsky had me wondering along more abstract lines. I was intrigued by the multiple. How does this image of complex behaviour arising out of the actions of automota jive with the humanist subject, the united self that reads texts? Does it require a new way of modeling the experience of reading?

This session – like The Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts itself – is rooted in the belief that studying manuscripts’ provenance can have dynamic and profound effects not only on our understanding of these medieval materials as objects to be bought and sold but also on their texts through mapping their circulation and reception. We particularly welcome proposals that explore diverse topics from the role of digital technologies such as the SDBM in conducting provenance research, the relationship between institutional and private ownership of manuscripts, specific case studies of collecting practices, the transatlantic travels of medieval materials, collectors’ roles in the dispersal of libraries and the fragmentation of manuscripts, collectors and manuscript preservation, and how a manuscript’s provenance history can effect its value and collectability on the rare books market, to how collectors and the act of collecting can shape and influence interpretations of manuscript evidence. Please send proposals with a one-page abstract and Participant Information Form (www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html) to Lynn Ransom (lransom@upenn.edu ) by September 1, 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 EF05C5F6B; Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:28:13 +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 C4BA05F7A; Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:28:12 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 387313031; Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:28:11 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150715202811.387313031@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2015 22:28:11 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.166 machines: reading, thinking, creating 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: <20150715202813.17254.85846@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 166.

In-Reply-To: <20150713203745.4AE5060BD@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, Reading this evening Robert Bringhurst's "A Piece of Bread, A Loaf of Vision: the Art of [Storyteller] Alice Kane" in _Everywhere Being is Dancing: twenty pieces of thinking_ I came across this passage which lifts the treatment of machine analogies into the domain of ecology of cultural production and reception. Bringhurst writes about the interface between written and oral stories. He does this by an appeal to simple machines. A book, like a bellows or a bicycle, is a simple kind of machine, for which the reader provides the motive power. At its best, a book is a fluent, organic machine, made from plant fiber, vegetable oils, and carbon, and from the delicate bones of letters, carved in two dimensions by microscopic motions of the hand. Even the best-made book is nevertheless like the bicycle, not like the body: the book is not alive. It may still be useful to the story -- as a dead tree can be useful to flickers and sapsuckers: as a place to nest and feed. But until the bird comes to the tree, or the reader who is a visionary listener comes to the book, nothing can happen. I know that this bends the discussion away from its original premises and direction but I could not resist sharing the delectation of such a suggestive passage.

Hacking the Humanities By ELIAS MUHANNA The New Yorker, 7 July, 2015 In particular, these sentences ... "We spent the rest of the semester developing an algorithm that could detect different types of rhetorical figures in a large corpus of poetry. It flew through thousands of lines of verse like a drone over a wildlife habitat, snapping pictures of similes, allusions, and metatheses. ..." I was taken back to your DH post, Hartmut, and your nice words ... "Thinking by analogy has of course its own dignity as a means of acquired creativity, if it is not a technique of creative writing to make familiar things look strange. ..." A flying drone snapping pictures of similes, allusions, and metatheses. Is this, I wonder, Elias Muhanna's way of making familiar things look strange, or a way to grasp at an understanding of what algorithms do with (lots of) poetry? I fear it is the latter. For me, an important thing the Humanities have to teach many of us scientists and engineers, is that to know and understand something well, we don't have to draw on our knowledge and understanding of the machines we build and the ways they work, by analogy or more directly. The machines we use don't have to provide the concepts we use to build our knowledge and understanding of things: cognition may not actually be computation of some kind, for example. Machines and mechanisms are not the only, and often aren't the best basis for understanding things, even of understanding machines. In the Digital Humanities, digital machines and devices--machine that do (programed) computation--may well serve as powerful and sharp instruments of investigation and scholarship, but it's hard to see that the digital ways of knowing and understanding that come with these kinds of machines provide better forms of knowing and understanding in the Humanities. They already don't in the sciences and engineerings, I would say. So, I'm very much with you, Hartmut, when you say "We must invent a new language and and a new way of thinking to comprehend the system nature and ourselves have created so that we may survive. If we may survive. The current situation within and around Europe is a lesson to learn from."

There has been consideration of whether the Turing test is appropriate for assessing software that is designed to be creative. Most notably, Alison Pease and Simon Colton have concluded that a Turing-test-style evaluation of creative software encourages the software makers to embrace pastiche and focus on more trivial surface elements of the creative process, rather than tackling deeper issues [1]. More generally, there is a lot of research going on around the question of how/whether/if a computer can be creative. For example, can software ‘generate artistic products’, as in the call below? If so, how? and what does this help us discover about our own creativity? Computational creativity is a burgeoning field that crosses AI, psychology, philosophy and a number of other disciplines in the arts and in design. I’m sure that DH people would have a lot to contribute to this area of research. (I remember that Willard McCarty posed some questions about creative computing on this list a while back, though I can’t seem to find the particular email from Willard now. ) Those who may be interested to explore further: I refer you to http://computationalcreativity.net/ http://computationalcreativity.net/ as a good ‘portal’ for information. There is also an annual international conference series in this area, see http://computationalcreativity.net/home/conferences/ http://computationalcreativity.net/home/conferences/ . [This year, I noticed that this conference (ICCC’15) neatly interlinked with DH2015, being held on the same days as DH but in almost opposite timezones (as the #iccc15 twitter feed quietened down, the #dh2015 tags started to fly in, and vice versa).] Perhaps this is an appropriate time to mention that I’ve also written a couple of blog posts about Computational Creativity and its research, which you can read at http://www.creativitypost.com/authors/list/148/Ajordanous http://www.creativitypost.com/authors/list/148/Ajordanous anna [1] Pease, A., and Colton, S. 2011.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2015 17:19:17 +0200 From: Gregory Crane Subject: Greek, Latin, and Digital Philology in Germany and the United States - part 2 Part 2: Greek and Latin in the United States and Germany Gregory Crane Leipzig and Tufts Summary: (Full text available at *http://tinyurl.com/px88bjq) *(Part 1 is available at http://sites.tufts.edu/perseusupdates/2015/07/06/greek-latin-and-digital-philology-in-germany-and-the-united-states/)* * I have now released a draft for part 2 of Greek, Latin, and Digital Philology in the United States. This part includes some information about Greco-Romans studies in the US, with some comparisons with the situation in Germany, and then moves on with a very brief and preliminary start for suggestions as how Germany can make itself an (even more) attractive location for a research career in this field. Tables 20 and 21 address the basic size of Greco-Roman studies in the United States. There were, according to one survey, 276 departments of Classical Civilization in the US in 2012, with 1,410 tenured or tenure track faculty. There are 276 US departments of Classical Civilization, while the 52 universities that have chairs in Greek, Latin, Ancient History or Classical Archaeology would be equivalent to 208 departments (if Germany had the same proportion of universities and had a population of 320, rather than 80, million). But even if we factor in the differing populations, the 200 chairs for Greco-Roman studies in Germany are only equivalent to 800 in a US-sized population, whereas there are 1,410 tenured and tenure-track positions in Departments of Classical Civilization in the US. In absolute terms, the 290 tenure-track positions (presumably assistant professors) outnumber the 200 chairs in Germany. A Professor Doctor in Germany is different, of course, than an Assistant Professor who still needs to earn tenure but the American system offers more points of entry into the tenure system than there are chairs in Germany. There are, I think, a good number of middle level positions in Germany but most of these positions offer a guarantee: after six years, you’re out and you need a new job. Bad as the the long term job market is in the US, it looks a lot better to me when I look closely at the situation in Germany. Tables 22-25 look attempt to identify the business model upon which Greco-Roman studies depends. Table 22 clearly identifies at least one feature upon which Greco-Roman studies does not materially depend: there are only 1.6 graduating seniors per faculty member (perhaps 5 majors, assuming a few second semester first year students declare per faculty member). Anyone who teaches in a US Department of Classical Civilization knows that larger classes, aimed at non-majors, provide the basis upon which we depend to justify our positions. I have, however, found no statistics on the size of these courses overall — and this deserves a major study if we we want to understand the current health and future prospects of Greco-Roman studies in the US. At the same time, the Modern Language Association (Tables 23-25) provides us with statistics for enrollments in Greek and Latin: there were in fall 2013 still 40,109 students reportedly enrolled in courses of Greek or Latin — 28.4 such students for each of the 1,410 tenured and tenure track positions. We need to be cautious in assessing these numbers — there are almost twice as many institutions reported enrollments in Greek or Latin as there are departments of Classical Civilization (the MLA states that 512 institutions reported enrollments in Greek and/or Latin but AASHD identified only 276 departments of Classical Studies), but even if we assume that half the students of Greek and Latin are in institutions without departments of Classical Civilization, we get about 15 students of Greek and Latin for every tenured and tenure-track professor. This reflects a discipline-wide commitment to keeping the study of the languages alive. The MLA numbers also told two stories. First, there was a precipitous drop in enrollments between 2008 and 2013 — about 20% for both Premodern Greek and Latin (when different ways of classifying Premodern Greek are taken into consideration). I think that this surely reflects anxiety about the practicality of undergraduate study after the financial crisis of 2008. Whether we can reverse these losses or whether this is the new normal remains to be seen. But if we consider the figures from 1968 through 2009, we see substantial (to me, amazing) resilience: despite the crises and changes that followed the 1960s, there are about as many people studying Greek and Latin in 2009 as there were in 1968. This was a huge achievement and something for which the study of Greco-Roman culture in the US should take pride. I do think that we will need new ideas and new methods to maintain this resilience but I personally think that we are poised to grow and expand if we are determined, fearless, and judicious. We are poised to reinvent the study of Greek and Latin at every level — but that must remain, for now, an assertion and await another venue for further discussion. More than 75% of all historical language students in the US study Greek or Latin (Table 26) — if smaller historical languages (e.g., Aramaic, Akkadian, Sanskrit, Classical Chinese) are to flourish, the students of Greek and Latin must design a general infrastructure that serves many other languages as well. Table 27 turns to question of where tenured and tenure-track professors of Classical Civilization in the US got their PhDs. I analyzed the public web pages for 575 US Assistant, Associate, and full Professors in this field. Among 206 faculty at institutions without a PhD program, the national composition was very similar to the Professor Doctors of Greek, Latin, Ancient History, and Classical Archaeology in Germany. In non-PhD departments in the US, 95.6% of the faculty (198 of 206) had US PhDs, while 95% (190 of 200) German chairs had PhDs from German institutions. When we considered PhDs from other Anglophone and German-speaking universities, we accounted for 98% of the faculty in both the US (203 of 206) and Germany (196 or 200). If you want to become a Professor Doctor in Germany or a tenured/tenure-track Professor at a non-PhD US program, you had better get a PhD in the US or Germany. You might get one of these positions if you get a PhD in an English-language or German-language program but I would not count on it. If we look at the departments of Classical Civilization with (by one ranking: http://www.phds.org/rankings/classics) the top-10 PhD programs, we find a very different population. Just under two-thirds of the Assistant, Associate and full Professors in these departments received their PhDs from US program (64.5% 102 out of 158 faculty where I could determine the PhD institution) — adding the three Canadian PhDs (pace Canada) would get us to almost exactly two thirds (66.5%, 105 out of 158). Thus, fully one third of all these faculty received their highest degree (there was one faculty member who seems only to have received an MA) outside of North America. Most of these (33 out of the overall 158, 21% of the total) came from the UK while two came from Australia. More than 11% (18 of 158) of these faculty received their PhDs from outside the Anglophone world. With 10 departments, this means that each department has, on average, one or two faculty members who were trained outside the Anglophone world, reflect a very different scholarly tradition and (often) maintain deep ties with colleagues in the nations where they were trained. For me, the importance of such international faculty cannot be overstated — when I was a student, I benefited constantly from working with faculty who had not come through the US system. Some may view the fact that fully one third of the faculty at the highest ranked departments do not have US PhDs as a sign of weakness — there are not, in this view, enough good Americans to fill the positions. I see this diversity as a strength of the US system. This strength may only be practical because the highest ranked departments are also the biggest and each can afford to take a chance on one or two faculty who might not necessarily flourish in the US system (I know of at least one instance where a big department brought a big scholar in, knowing he would never fit in — they felt they could afford it). Table 28 looks quickly at gender balance. The American Academy of Sciences report (from which many of the data are drawn) reports that 40% of the Classical Civilization faculty are women while women accounted for 38% of 582 US faculty members whom I analyzed. The rate for full Professors is lower — 33% — but that 33% is still 50% higher than the 22% of female Professors Doctors in Germany. The final table (Table 29) summarizes where the faculty I identified got their PhDs. I was most interested in the rates for Assistant Professors — PhD programs have changed substantially since current Assistant Professors chose where to get a PhD, but those departments have changed even more since most Associate and full Professors got their degrees. The final section provides some partial, preliminary, and perhaps provocative comparisons between Germany and the US in Classical studies. Any student, with a choice of beginning their career in Germany or the US and who can manage either German or English, should consider the following: data reinforces the more general impression that English language scholarship no longer cites non-English scholarship at the same level as even a generation ago; there are more permanent jobs in the US; the most highly ranked departments have between 15 and 22 faculty members and are, arguably, better suited structurally to support a more generalized Altertumswissenschaft; if the student does manage to get a tenure track job (no easy task), then that person immediately becomes a critical member of a(ny rational) department; there is very little evidence that people from outside the German speaking world are going to win one of two-hundred or so coveted chairs in Greek, Latin, Ancient History and Classical Archaeology in Germany. _______________________________________________ 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 E6F7E6621; Thu, 16 Jul 2015 22:12:00 +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 41036660F; Thu, 16 Jul 2015 22:12:00 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B579C660E; Thu, 16 Jul 2015 22:11:57 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150716201157.B579C660E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2015 22:11:57 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.170 machines: reading, thinking, creating 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: <20150716201200.27000.26759@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 170.

Does any of this get beyond the structure of the Turing Test as originally conceived? That is, who is considering not a painting (noun) but painting (gerund)? Are we stuck at the level of trompe-l'œil? Where are the artists in the discussion? The musicians?

If we define a creative work as a consciously intentional product by a person executing a work that is the product of the person's skill and imagination, then no machine at present is capable of creativity. If we define a creative work as a humanly interpretable product understood without reference to authorial intent, then machines are certainly capable of producing creative works, but we sill wouldn't ascribe creativity to the machine. The point is to ignore authorial intent in this case. The Turing Test is a particularly fascist way of defining life or intelligence. I was served by a hostess at a Chili's restaurant two days ago who was so massively stupid she would not have passed the Turing Test had she been on the other side of a screen. Many people wouldn't. But that doesn't mean that they don't qualify as intelligent life. Or perhaps my standards are too low. I think Tim's NYT article is a bit too mystified with the digital. The algorithms described aren't doing anything that human beings can't do by hand. In this case, the machine just speeds up work that people did by hand in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and the data produced by that work is essentially the same -- and subject to the same need for interpretation and to the same limitations (identifying a part of speech is an act of interpretation, not a matter of passive data collection). There's nothing "inhuman" going on here other than the speed of the process.

Since 2004, established scholars, young researchers and doctoral students interested in the study of people, ICT and work and play have gathered at the SIG-SI ASIS&T Annual Research Symposium to share their work and ideas. Approximately 110 papers, posters and panels have been presented and for the past three years, we have given awards for the best papers published by Social Informatics (SI) faculty and students in the preceding years. This year we gather to celebrate a decade of intellectually challenging and engaging work in SI and hope that you will join us. Our goal remains the same: to disseminate current research and research in progress that investigates the social aspects of information and communication technologies (ICT) across all areas of ASIS&T. Building on the success of past years, the symposium includes members of many SIGs and defines “social” broadly to include critical and historical approaches as well as contemporary social analysis. It also defines “technology” broadly to include traditional technologies (i.e., paper), state-of-the-art computer systems, and mobile and pervasive devices. Submissions may include empirical, critical and theoretical work, as well as richly described practice cases and demonstrations. We are particularly interested in work that assumes a critical stance towards the Symposium’s theme but are also soliciting research on other related social informatics topics. We encourage all scholars interested in social aspects of ICT (broadly defined) to share their research and research in progress by submitting an extended abstract of their work and attending the symposium. Papers that take social informatics further in theoretical conceptualization or empirical grounding are of particular interest to SIG-SI this year as we celebrate a decade of Symposia in ASIS&T. This year’s conference theme is “Information Science with Impact: Research in and for the Community.” In keeping with this theme, the symposium is also soliciting work from Social Informatics researchers that focuses on the impact of their work on industry, government, local/national/global community groups, individuals, information systems, GLAMs, and on other practice contexts. We are interested in work that addresses questions and issues such as the following: • What are the social, political, economic, and legal implications of social informatics research? • What are the ways in which social informatics research impacts various organizations, groups, and communities of practice? • How can social informatics researchers work more closely with members of these communities? • What can a social informatics approach tell us about roles of information and communication technologies in the work and social practices of people in these communities? • What are the challenges and opportunities of engaging in SI work that seeks to understand and improve the work and social lives of people in these communities? The schedule for the workshop will involve the presentations of papers and the best social informatics paper awards for 2013 (call to follow). We expect an engaging discussion with lively interactions with the audience. Deadlines: August 9, 2015: Submit a short paper (2000 words), a poster (500 words), or a panel (1000 words) by email to Kiotta Marshall (kiomarsh@indiana.edu ) September 2, 2015: Author notifications (in time for conference early registration (NOTE: this timeline may be adjusted when the registration dates are announced).

The first round of development leverages data from partner projects including the PHI's Searchable Greek Inscriptions project, the SEG, the Claros concordance of epigraphical publication data, and epigraphy articles in JSTOR to develop a set of web services. Identifiers from any of the projects may be used to retrieve related data from any of the others. The goal of IDEs is not to be a portal or aggregator superseding partner projects, but a data hub that allows all of them to leverage each other’s work.

Abstract: Manovich and Tifentale discuss the construction of popular photographic self-representation in digital visual culture. Since 2008, Software Studies Initiative (a research lab led by Manovich) used computational and data visualization methods to analyze large numbers of Instagram photos. The chapter focuses on Selfiecity.net (http://selfiecity.net/) , a research project analyzing 3,200 selfies shared via Instagram from five global cities: Bangkok, Berlin, Moscow, New York, and Sao Paulo. Manovich and Tifentale analyze the construction of the dataset, the choice and application of computational and “manual” methods of image analysis as well as the findings presented as visualizations and as interactive web application. The authors place the selfie into a broader context of history of photography and argue that it is a new sub-genre of photography that differs from the tradition of self-portraiture. Lev Manovich.

Abstract: I present a number of core concepts from data science that are relevant to digital art history and the use of quantitative methods to study any cultural artifacts or processes in general. These concepts are objects, features, data, feature space, and dimension reduction. These concepts enable computational exploration of both large and small visual cultural data. We can analyze relations between works on a single artist, many artists, all digitized production from a whole historical period, holdings in museum collections, collection metadata, or writings about art. The same concepts allow us to study contemporary vernacular visual media using massive social media content. (In our lab, we analyzed works by van Gogh, Mondrian, and Rothko, 6000 paintings by French Impressionists, 20,000 photographs from MoMA photography collection, one million manga pages from manga books, one million artworks of contemporary non-professional artists, and over 13 million Instagram images from 16 global cities.) While data science techniques do not replace other art historical methods, they allow us to see familiar art historical material in new ways, and also to study contemporary digital visual culture.

Abstract: User-generated visual media such as images and video shared on Instagram, YouTube, Sino Weibo, VK, Flickr and other popular social media services open up amazing opportunities for the study of contemporary visual culture and urban environments. By analyzing media shared by millions of users today, we can understand what people around the world imagine and create; how people represent themselves and others; what topics, styles and visual techniques are most popular and most unique, and how these topics and techniques differ between locations, genders, ages, and many other demographic characteristics. In a number of projects completed between 2012 and 2015, we analysed large number of images shared on Instagram by people in urban areas. This article discusses two of these projects: Selfiecity (http://selfiecity.net/) (2014) and On Broadway (http://on-broadway.nyc/) (2015). In Selfiecity, we compared patterns in self-representations using a collection of “selfie” photos shared on Instagram by people in five global cities. In On Broadway, we focused on a single street in NYC – part of Broadway running through Manhattan for 13 miles – and analysed images shared along Broadway on Instagram and Twitter, Foursquare check-ins, taxi rides, and selected economic and social indicators using U.S. Census data. The article presents our methods, findings, and unique interactive interfaces for explorations of the collected data we constructed for each project. ============================================================ ** (https://www.facebook.com/softwarestudies) ** (https://twitter.com/manovich) ** (http://softwarestudies.com/) Copyright © 2015 Lev Manovich, All rights reserved.

Religious cognition and behavior is often demarcated with an enchantment that places it outside the domain of scientific explanation. And yet at every turn, evolutionary studies of origins, phylogeny, transmission mechanisms, and the economics of the survival benefits of adoption of religious memes have accrued. These days we have wonderful new technologies for brain imaging, incredible insights into the neurochemistry of altruism, recurrent emotional states, and cognitive processing. Every day I read a new piece of investigation on the mechanics of memory, mnemonic salience, memory pruning, and even useful organismic forgefulness. From all of these fronts, I conclude that the enchantment factor surrounding the "essence of religion" is fighting at best a rearguard action. We face a time when we come to see that there is nothing special about religion and its attendant behaviors. It is a family of cognitive processes and behavior outputs that deploy quite mundane mental systems in ways that many find emotionally satisfying and many find socially terrifying. It seems to me digital humanities as a category faces something similar. It is, in fact, a more general framing of the demystification of religion. In recent days, there was a series of posts about the machine metaphor. I can't say I completely grasped how biological machines and human constructed machines made of silicon and steel really differed *in kind* other than one was the product of blind selection pressures generated by environmental conditions and the other is constrained by human intentionality as a selection pressure. Bioengineering sits at the crossroad of these supposedly two discrete domains. My geneticist friends have all kinds of biomolecular machines as they work with transcription enzymes, their targeted cutting tools, and their viral delivery systems. If we ever get to the point where we tinker with germ cell lines, and these can be released into the wild, will they stop being machines? Unless you wish to posit some *deus ex machina* to rescue human creativity from the encroachment of the algorithm I don't see how the blurring of human and machinic products can be avoided. To be sure, machines cannot yet ascend to the level of emergent complexity that we rather vaguely call creativity, but that does not mean they cannot *in principle*. By the same token, I have yet to hear a compelling reason to say humans are not themselves creative *by virtue of* their own set of algorithms that one day will be mathematically explainable. Indeed, are not our text-embedding initiatives, our cross-referenced data bases, our multi-agent simulations of key historical events, our digital collections of music, graphic and visual art, add whatever field of humanities you like, are we now paving the way for the disenchantment of the human? Surely we are up to more than a new way of curating knowledge! In German, the word for disillusionment is Enttaeuschung - literally the removal of an illusion, presumably a good thing. Its other meaning is disappointment. At the root of every battle I fight with my traditional humanist friends to look into the possibilities of investigating the humanities with the aid of digital technology, I face this twofold response: It removes the thrill and grandeur of the distinctly human and sublime activity of interpretation (Kant: the free play of the imagination). But what I really hear in the background is the drum beat of the beginning of the loss of an illusion. If not in this generation, then the next. I wouldn't put my hard earned money on strong arguments against computational creativity. But I would put some money on a different bet: the defenders of the mystery of human creativity are in for some shocking news.

I've been thinking about a new movie "Ex-Machina" which could be about a totalitarian scientist who lures a young computer geek to test the "humanity" of his latest robot. But maybe the movie is also a critique of the Turing Test and its particularly "sexist" approach to defining life or intelligence? How useful is the Turing Test these days in AI studies?

So far, stylometry has been especially popular in authorship attribution studies. This project will approach issues of collaborative authorship in twelfth-century Latin literature with stylometric methods. In the Middle Ages, authors seldom worked alone when conceiving their treatises, letters or narratives. A new text could be the result of drafts on wax tablets copied by professional scribes, of processes of dictation and subsequent correction, etc. An authority like Bernard of Clairvaux, one of the most prolific and influential medieval authors, is known to have been surrounded by a team of secretaries. For his sermons and letters in particular, a number of his collaborators were even trained in imitating his writing style, thus facilitating Bernard's work of final editing or correcting. In the case of the remarkably few medieval female authors known to us, the role of secretaries is even more intricate. Women writers such as the German nun Hildegard of Bingen were considered unlearned and incapable of independently writing down their visionary experiences, even if their visions were accepted as being divinely inspired. These women therefore had to be assisted by male collaborators, often also serving as their spiritual directors. The precise nature and implications of such (cross-gender) collaborations remain a topic of scholarly debate. With a number of selected, experimental case studies, concentrating on Bernard of Clairvaux and his secretaries, Hildegard of Bingen and her collaborators, Suger of Saint- Denis and his chancery, and Abelard and Heloise, this project aims to contribute to the debate about individual and collective creativity in the Middle Ages, and to extend the usual application of stylometric methods to new cultural-historical questions that go beyond mere authorship attribution. This research project is funded by the Special Research Fund (BOF) of Ghent University. Directors: Prof. Jeroen Deploige (Ghent University), Dr. Mike Kestemont (University of Antwerp), Prof. Wim Verbaal (Ghent University) Professional environment Medieval studies at Ghent University cover a wide range of subjects and methodological approaches. Intensive exchanges within the Henri Pirenne Institute for Medieval Studies and with the international academic community create a stimulating environment for innovative research. For more information, see http://www.ugent.be/pirenne The collaborator will also be associated with the CLiPS Research Centre (Computational Linguistics & Psycholinguistics) at the University of Antwerp, in order to be immersed in the stylometric research carried out at this institute. For more information, see: http://www.clips.ua.ac.be. Qualifications of the candidate - A Master's degree in History, Literature, (Computational) Linguistics or Medieval Studies. Students who are currently preparing a master’s thesis and will graduate as a Master before 1 October 2015 are also welcome to apply. - Excellent study results. - Experience with reading and analyzing Latin texts, preferably of the medieval period. - Strong interest in the expanding field of Digital Humanities, and computational text analysis in particular. Willing to be trained intensively in stylometric research during the course of the PhD project. - Active knowledge of English and/or French and ability to read scholarly literature in the major academic languages. Willing to learn basic Dutch during the employment at Ghent University (introductory courses are available). - Commitment to prepare, and finish, a doctoral dissertation as outlined in the project text within four years. - An intellectually curious, analytical, responsible, and proactive personality, able to work autonomously as well as in a team. Offer - A four-year contract as a full time academic staff member, attached to the History Department at Ghent University (scholarship starting from around 1800 euro net/month; 1 year + 3 additional years after positive evaluation). - Opportunity to gain a PhD in four years, supervised by the three project directors. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the research to be conducted, the PhD can be in Literature, Linguistics or History, depending on the preference of the candidate and the emphases developed in the research. - Extensive opportunities for engaging with national and international research groups. - Opportunity to follow an individualized PhD programme at the UGent Doctoral School of Arts, Humanities and Law, including language courses. Start of the project: negotiable (but between 1 October 2015 and 1 July 2016). How to apply Feel free to contact prof. Jeroen Deploige for any further information or questions. If you are considering applying for this position, you are also invited to request the full project description.

In response to the feedback received at ISMIR 2014, we have created a new dataset and slightly changed the evaluation criteria for this year's event. GC15UX is a holistic, user-centered evaluation of the user experience in interacting with complete, user-facing music information retrieval (MIR) systems. This aims at inspiring the development of complete MIR systems and promoting the notion of user experience as a first-class research objective in the MIR community. Please share this announcement with other interested individuals and groups who might be new to the world of MIR. Each team will develop one complete MIR system that can play songs from the Jamendo collection. Later, evaluators will evaluate participating systems while assuming a defined yet open task. Finally, the first round of results will be released in time for MIREX in Spain as part of ISMIR 2015. Specific dates and locations will be updated on the wiki once they are determined. The 10,000 tracks in GC15UX 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. Importantly, we have created a new dataset, which has better distribution of genres and artists in response to feedback from last year's evaluation. 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 July 2015). 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. Please note that you need to login as a submitter. Once logged in as a submitter, you can find a download link on the left. This year GC15UX adopts the two-phase model with two evaluations. The first phase will end by the ISMIR conference and we will disclose preliminary results at the conference like what we did last year. Then, phase II will start. Participating developers can continue improving their systems based on the feedback from the first phase and another round of evaluation will be conducted in February. We believe that this model serves the developers well since it is in accordance with the iterative nature of user-centered design. In this way, the developers will also have enough time to develop their complete MIR systems. Lastly, there is more to come. We are now working on creating another special Grand Challenge. We hope that we can announce the new GC soon.

We are also pleased to announce that Prof. Gregory Crane (University of Leipzig) will give this year’s keynote on Tuesday, 27 October at 17:00 (cum tempore) in the Wiegandhaus of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (DAI). 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 . http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/cfp Best wishes, Matteo Romanello on behalf of the Organising Committee ========================================================== Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin 2015/16: Call for Papers ========================================================== We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the fourth 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 2015/16. 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 31 July 2015** 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 three seminar series was of 41% (2012/13), 31% (2013/14), and 40% (2014/15). Seminars will run **fortnightly on Tuesday evenings (17:15-19:00)** from October 2015 until February 2016 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. [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.

This holds particularly true when it comes to dealing with large amounts of similarly structured information, as is the case in the study of early modern Jesuit science: biographical information of the involved actors, bibliographical information of published scientific works and unofficial manuscripts, chronologies of colleges and their scientific chairs, and so on. In order to record, categorize, and then map out all this data in a sensible way, it would only seem obvious to use computers, thus allowing for truly comprehensive studies to be made. In our workshop "Early modern Jesuit science in a digital perspective - The Jesuit Science Network", we want to discuss such digital approaches in practice. As a particular example, we want to present the titular Jesuit Science Network (JSN), a biographical database on Jesuit scholars in early modern science that is currently in its last stages of development at Wuppertal University. After completion, it will contain around 1000 entries and will be put online for other researchers to use (expected launch mid 2016). Aside from discussing the JSN, the workshop also wants to give ample opportunity to address other digital methods and how the study of early modern Jesuit science can benefit from them. *Submission guidelines* We are now inviting proposals for papers. Depending on the number of responses, presentations will have 20-30 minutes available (plus additional time for discussion). Please send your submissions (including a title, an abstract of 1-2 pages, and a short CV of maximum one page) to Dagmar Mrozik at mrozik@uni-wuppertal.de. We would like to particularly encourage young scholars to submit their papers. The deadline is September 4, 2015. *Practical information* The workshop is hosted by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies (IZWT) at Wuppertal University and will be held in English. We are able to reimburse lodging costs for contributors, but because funds are limited, please let us know in advance if you will need support to cover traveling expenses. If you have any further questions, please contact Dagmar Mrozik at mrozik@uni-wuppertal.de. Please also feel free to inform others, especially young academics, about the workshop and this call for papers. We look forward to your participation! --- Dagmar Mrozik IZWT Bergische Universität Wuppertal Gaußstr. 20 42119 Wuppertal Germany --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2015 10:54:12 +0900 From: Christian Wittern Subject: Early bird registration for JADH2015 closes July 31 Dear Humanists, The Japanese Association of Digital Humanities (JADH) will hold its fifth annual conference this year at Kyoto University from September 1st to 3rd, 2015.

The summer school will focus on cataloguing and editing Coptic manuscripts -- Biblical and literary -- using both traditional scholarly techniques and new methods in the Digital Humanities (DH). The Summer School is associated with two major projects, the "Digital Edition of the Coptic Old Testament" in Göttingen and the "Corpus of Coptic Literary Manuscripts (CMCL)" in Hamburg, and will profit from the expertise of the staff members as well as that of international experts. Egyptian Christianity has left a wealth of textual and non-textual sources which are of great interest to a number of stakeholder groups, Coptic scholars, biblical scholars and church historians, scholars of Late Antiquity, Egyptologists, scholars of Islam and last but not least, the members of the Coptic Orthodox Church itself. Unfortunately, due to historical circumstances, the literary heritage of Egyptian Christianity, including the Bible in Coptic, has been fragmented and is still today inadequately researched. However, the recent progress in Digital Humanities methods and tools has introduced a paradigm shift into the field. A number of new digital projects have sprung up internationally, dedicated to various areas of the Coptic heritage. Main instructors in Göttingen: Prof. Nathalie Bosson (Coptic Bible, textual criticism) Prof. Heike Behlmer (Coptic language, reception history of the Bible) Dr. Frank Feder (Coptic Bible, textual criticism) Prof. Ulrich B. Schmid (DH), Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities Staff Main instructors in Hamburg: Prof. Paola Buzi (Coptic manuscript studies, DH) Prof. Tito Orlandi (Coptic literature, DH) Dr. Alin Suciu (Coptic manuscript studies, Coptic literature) The programme will include study visits to the Göttingen Greek Septuagint Project, the Coptic-Orthodox Monastery at Höxter (near Göttingen) and the Hamburg State and University Library. The summer school is open to graduate students (B.A. completed), doctoral students and postdocs in the areas of Coptic Studies and Biblical Studies as well as Oriental Christianities, Church History, Egyptology, DH/Historical Linguistics and related fields. Previous knowledge of Coptic is desirable, however, Coptic language instruction will be offered during the entire summer school at both beginning/intermediate and advanced levels. -- Tito Orlandi (olim Univ. di Roma La Sapienza) Centro Linceo Interdisciplinare Beniamino Segre - Roma Hiob Ludolf Zentrum (Asien-Afrika-Institut, Univ.

Of course I can't predict what machines will be able to do in the future. My other point was about, in fact, the vagueness of the word "creativity." But I'm curious why you think this is important: "Indeed, are not our text-embedding initiatives, our cross-referenced data bases, our multi-agent simulations of key historical events, our digital collections of music, graphic and visual art, add whatever field of humanities you like, are we now paving the way for the disenchantment of the human?" If we're the authors of our own disenchantment, our place in the cosmos hasn't budged an inch. Why are we so important that we need to be knocked down, and we must be very important indeed if only we can do it to ourselves. What I think we need to be is better curators, and more willing to enchant everything else, not just ourselves. We can level things by cutting everything down or by building everything up. Why go the former way? Pat: Thanks for asking. I realized after sending my post that I shouldn't have used the "f-word" without explanation. The premise of the Turing test is the ability of machine communication to be indistinguishable from human communication by a human evaluator. I would say that the Turing test becomes "fascist" when it is used to determine if the machine possesses intelligence comparable to a human being because it assigns "intelligence" according to the judgment of an outside evaluator. Whatever privileges, rights, or recognition that go along with having human intelligence need to be assigned not by external recognition but by the thing's very nature: in other words, it doesn't have that recognition because we assign it, but because we owe it that recognition due to the nature of its being. This distinction may seem hair-splitting in practice, but I think not. Thinking that we have the right to bestow recognition of intelligence upon a thing -- and that it doesn't have it until we do -- is very different from thinking we have the obligation to recognize intelligence anywhere that it appears. I think this is the failure of the programmer in Ex Machina, who like Victor Frankenstein primarily failed in his recognition of his own responsibility to this new life. I would think that if the thing doesn't *want* to be imprisoned we immediately have to ask if we have the right to imprison it. Don's mention of religion seems particularly appropriate at this point. One European sect believed that cruelty to animals was acceptable because animals don't have souls. But another way of thinking might be that we shouldn't be cruel to animals because cruelty itself is bad regardless of the object.

I have no problem with the ongoing process of being dis-illusioned -- as he says, the removal of an illusion seems a good thing, though often a traumatic one. I don't question the value of entertaining the possibility that we will figure out how to build machines that will dis-illusion us about certain characteristics of the human we currently hold to be inviolate. But I do question the apocalyptic conclusion that it's all over for us or is certain to be sometime soon, that it's really only a matter of time. Revising the idea of the human following on great shocks has been going on for a very long time -- much longer than Freud's "grosse Kränkungen", "great outrages", which he attributes to Copernicus, Darwin and himself. I like to think of these as punctuations in the history of punctuated equilibria -- Gould's and Eldredge's term -- going back to and including the evolutionary, and going forward beyond Freud into the future. The point for us, I would argue, is what we do step by step as digital tools bite or appear to bite ever deeper into illusions about our cultural artefacts. What then, at each point, do we say 'creativity' is, for example, or intelligence? Involvement here makes us one of the humanities, I'd think. 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 --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2015 10:28:44 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 29.174 machines: reading, thinking, creating In-Reply-To: <20150719202414.1610E65CE@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Pat, May I butt in here, and mostly reply to others. The Turing Test (TT) is not a definition of life or intelligence; not a fascist one or any other kind. There is, as you probably know, a long running competition for what are now called Chat-Bots (yuk!) that uses a TT setup to evaluate the performance of these things. The TT, and competitions that use it, have not figured in main stream AI: now or in the past. It's not useful, either as a way to evaluate some artificial intelligence performance, or as a central component of a productive AI research programme. It's not clear how it provides a fair basis for evaluating some (human-like) artificially intelligent behaviour. Put simply, it fails to operationalise what I call the artificial flower/light distinction: artificial flowers can look very like real flowers, but, no matter how real flower-like they look, they will never be real flowers; artificial light can look very like real (natural) light, and it is real light, albeit produced by artificial means, and it can look quite different from natural light, but is still real light. A "artificial flower or light" test can usefully be applied to computational creativity--is it look alike creativity, or real creativity artificially produced--but I think Willard's questions are more important. In particular, his final question: Where are the artists in the discussion? The musicians? To which I would add, why is it that these people seldom speak of being creative, or seeking to be creative when they make their art? I only speak from (limited) personal encounters here, and mostly with designers, not so many artists and musicians, but when asked about being creative they mostly have little if anything to say, except that this is not what they are trying to be when designing things: being creative is not part of their doing when they are designing. What would help, I think, in this conversation about computational creativity, would be some explanation and justification for why "creativity" is taken to be the important thing here, apparently above all else, rather than the actual human doing involved: the painting, composing, designing, etc. There's plenty here that needs more and better knowing and understanding, especially when this doing involves using computational tools and machines, as it more often does these days. Artists have always been leaders in the devising, making, and taking up of tools in their doing, and in the development of technologies needed to render these tools and machines. Why would we want to leave these people out of our investigations?

Crane regrets the extinction of immigrant languages in the USA. Let me add that according to Hans-Dieter Steinmetz, in 1893, before they were melted and replaced by English, 796 German journals were edited in the US, which was twice the number of all the other non-English US-periodicals (http://www.karl-may-gesellschaft.de/kmg/seklit/JbKMG/1994/312.htm). Among the other half of vital non-English publications in the USA there were also Slovene newspapers and journals which threatened to outnumber the Slovene newspapers and their readers in the Old World. None has survived. There is no need for English to act in a hostile way towards other languages to win. It is sufficient to be only ignorant to them, as the economy of conveying information will always give priority to English. Yes, each community is responsible for its own language, nevertheless, global humanists shouldn't be careless about the natural process of language death (http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0077056) and should consciously support and maintain language diversity. The responsibility for the survival and regular use of minor languages is also on the side of English speaking. I am sure we all can profit from alternative concepts that other languages contribute. Limited possibilities of minor languages are clearly documented with the case of entry culturomics (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kulturomika) which was put on the Slovene Wikipedia by my students on March 24. 2011. In the English Wikipedia, it appeared on September 9, 2011, half a year later; the Italian, Ukrainian, and Latin followed. However, till August 2014, as I accidentally came across it, the English article remained ignorant about the existence of Slovene predecessor and lacked an interwiki to it. Alas, we all got used to search and consult information in the most spread and most easily accessible languages, English in the first place, instead of browsing through the repositories of knowledge hidden in other languages, too. Of course, these languages ought to publish relevant contents on their Wikipedias first, as Wikipedia is the starting point of all investigations. The comparison of encyclopedic information in tens of languages in Wikipedia is the first promising step towards the knowledge about alternative concepts. Automated translations are still very awkward, but they offer us, for the first time in history, the possibility to peep into perspectives of languages we haven't even known their names. We mostly meet simplified translations from English, in some cases, especially with those dealing with humanities subjects, we discover the national specificity of concepts of which we thought at first glance they belonged to the unique western culture . The discovery encourages us to localize also entries that were translated earlier without respect to the local meaning and use. Some examples. The entry »kolektivni roman« (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolektivni_roman 'novel with multiple protagonists') exists in Slovene, Western Frysian and Scandinavian (Norwegian and Swedish) Wikipedias. The term appeared in the 1930s, when minor literatures realized they were not of interest in dominant world literatures and that the international literary exchange runs one way only: from dominant towards minor. So they got connected with each othter in a solidarity protest. The article »kleiner Mann« (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mali_%C4%8Dlovek) exists in the Slovene, Polish and Russian Wikipedias; outside Slavic literatures the concept is obviously not known enough to become an encyclopedic entry. Alpine story (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planinska_povest 'mountain story') has been described in the Slovene Wikipedia only and is missing in the German one, although German »Berggeschichte« influenced the Slovene term. Why there is no entry about novels about priests in English or German as it is in Slovene (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duhovni%C5%A1ki_roman)? »Generationsroman« (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generacijski_roman) is known to the Slovene and Swedish Wikipedias only, the Partizan novel (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partizanski_roman) to the Slovene and Hungarian. The entry liberalism (https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalizem) is known to 111 Wikipedia languages, however, the definition of liberalism and its Slovene history differs evidently from the genuine one by stressing the principle of national and progressive on the account of freedom. Etc. The topic of language diversity hasn't triggered much echo in the Humanist Discussion Group yet; considering the discussions on diacritical signs and special national characters, it has been even dealt with adversion by some of fellow discussants. So I support the innitiative by Gregory Crane and Domenico Fiormonte (http://infolet.it/2015/07/12/monocultural-humanities/) that the issue of language diversity enters the schedule of regular academic discussion. miran hladnik (https://uni-lj.academia.edu/MiranHladnik) _______________________________________________ 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 7FF1466CC; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:14:28 +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 D3A8A66B4; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:14:27 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5449C66A8; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:14:25 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150720231425.5449C66A8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:14:25 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.180 new on WWW: Hansard corpus 1803-2005 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: <20150720231428.12952.69519@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 180.

The corpus is part of the SAMUELS project (http://www.glasgow.ac.uk/samuels/) and has been funded by the AHRC (UK). The Hansard Corpus contains 1.6 billion words from 7.6 million speeches in the British Parliament from 1803-2005. The corpus is semantically tagged, which allows for powerful meaning-based searches. In addition, users can create "virtual corpora" by speaker, time period, House of Parliament, and party in power, and compare across these corpora. As with all of the other BYU corpora (http://corpus.byu.edu), the corpus allows queries by part of speech, lemma, synonym, customized word lists, and by section of the corpus (e.g. which words or phrases appear in one time period much more than in another). In terms of visualization, it allows users to view frequency listings (matching words and phrases), chart displays (overall frequency by time period), collocates (including comparisons between collocates of contrasting node words), and re-sortable concordance lines. The end result is a corpus that will be of value not only to linguists (as the largest structured corpus of historical British English from the 1800s-1900s), but hopefully to historians, political scientists, and others as well. http://www.hansard-corpus.org Best, Mark Davies ============================================ 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 ** ============================================ _______________________________________________ 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 762DF66D5; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:15:47 +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 C4D336677; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:15:46 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D94166677; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:15:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150720231544.D94166677@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 01:15:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.181 events: DRHA 2015 in Dublin 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: <20150720231547.13411.54900@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 181.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 09:32:25 -0400 From: Don Braxton Subject: machines: reading, thinking, creating Hi Pat and others: Thanks for your thoughtful response. If I read your entry correctly, to wit, that disenchantment can come from many vectors and it is too arrogant to make humans the only agents of such processes, I am in complete agreement with you. My contention was only meant to be seen in the context of humanists talking to humanists, not a global claim, and certainly not exhaustive of the possibilities. There are many sources of enchantment and disenchantment, And one person's enchantment is another's banality. But within the humanities, one is bombarded constantly by judgment terminology of real, authentic, genuine, and the like. Perhaps I am especially sensitive to the misleading nature of this attribution process because my domain is in the psychological, social, and political dynamics of religion. Within the domain of religion, authenticity and its ilk are hedge words of political guardianship. They often seek to frustrate curiosity and its attendant intellectual investigation. Many humanities fields have similar sacred cows, do they not? I am curious why our disabuse of ourselves as unique products of the universe, assuming that such cases represent only one class among many other vectors that can exercise said effects, means we haven't budged a bit? It certainly looks like budging to me. I am also not one to traffic in inevitabilities, let alone apocalyptic or utopian prognostications. I thought I was making an inference from past and current trajectories. Consider the following budging and inferential thought experiment. I build computational simulations using many independent agents in a landscape that is modified by the behavior of those agents. The modified landscape feeds back upon the behavioral possibilities of the agents as do the changing mind states of the agents themselves. Even simple systems have the ability to produce emergent properties, properties not present in the simulation's construction. In the process of exploring model traits and limits, I run a design sweep of the model's behavioral space. This is an automated exercise that runs all possible permutations of the model given its many, many variables. I set up the sweep to identify and tag products of the sweep that generate unusual phenomena. Now, imagine digital humanists in a similar light. Each of us is in a simulation modifying and being modified by the landscape of digital humanities embedded in the larger domain of the humanities. You can also extend this ecology to embrace even larger domains of human knowledge if you wish. If we run a design sweep to detect the emergent properties of the network and discover, as a recent thread suggests, that artists and musicians appear to be severely underrepresented, we can then reset initial conditions to include their precusors or simply to seed more artists and musicians themselves and see if that population dies off or flourishes in said ecology. We will find that some populations tend to die off, others to thrive, and still others to evolve into something we didn't know was possible. I would be modeling cultural evolution at that point. Digital humanities is building just such a landscape and as we agents run our own behavioral algorithms, and request or discover meta-analysis of the network in turn, something no one before us could do in so powerful an expression, and thus we become relatively potent agencies of cultural change. Surely we do this at least in part because we are curious individually and collectively about and want to contribute to "the human project". So when does this process take on a life of its own? When do we cease to be the synthesizing brain and instead become the neuron of a network that does the "thinking"? I don't know the answer to that question, but I do moot it to be a really good question. Everything else we look at - phase transitions of physics to chemistry, chemistry to biology, biology to psychology - display participation in a nested hierarchy of orders of complexity. Isn't it a leap to think that "the human project" is immune to being a nested order capable of hosting the emergence of higher orders of complexity? Isn't it the most humanistic question we have - , as Willard suggested, namely, to ask precisely this question? If digital humanists are the the kids with the newest toys in the sand box, shouldn't we ask what the sandbox is? And what is the nature of this thing we are playing at? I am all for looking at deep-field images of the universe as well as being shocked by what percentage of my body consists of symbionts to get my thrilling new de-centering experiences. But I like "humanist" game as well. -- Don Braxton J Omar Good Professor of Religious Studies Juniata College Huntingdon, PA 16652 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, 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 AD72765F4; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:27:00 +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 172E490F; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:27:00 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D897C90F; Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:26:56 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150721202656.D897C90F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2015 22:26:56 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.183 events: Edirom Summer School 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: <20150721202700.15188.28427@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 183.

September at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn, Germany: http://ess.upb.de. The Edirom-Summer-School 2015 is organized by the Virtual Research Group Edirom and the german eHumanities project DARIAH-DE. Our courses and workshops follow three level tracks (most held in German): The "entrance" track will offer introductions to the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) and the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) as well as to our Edirom Tool Set for compiling and publishing digital (music) editions. The "advanced" track deals with general workflows and techniques when working with XML files and MEI metadata. We also offer an introduction to tool development with eXist-db. Within the "workshop" track we will discuss different problems and questions about technical workflows and project organization as well as legal issues concerning different types of "data" in the context of digital research and edition projects. Please find our full program at http://ess.upb.de/2015/programm.html. Registration is open until the end of July at http://ess.upb.de/2015/registrierung.html. In case of any questions concerning the ESS2015, please feel free to contact the organization team at ess@edirom.de. We hope to see you in September in Paderborn!

Frequently heard remarks, observed practices and published survey results indicate most of us still assume that only specialists and revenue-generating students really matter. If the public outside of academia does not have access to up-to-date data about the Greco-Roman world, whose problem is it? If we specialists do not believe that we have a primary responsibility to open up the field as is now possible in a digital age, then I am not sure why we should expect support from anyone other than specialists or the students who enroll in our classes. If we do believe that we have an obligation to open up the field, then that has fundamental implications for our daily activities, for our operational theory justifying the existence of our positions, and for the hermeneutics (following a term that is stil popular in Germany) that we construct about who can know what.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2015 12:35:39 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: open and closed Don Braxton's continuing provocation to think about the shocks present and in store for us from machines I find most welcome. The hedge-talk of political guardianship among the humanities that he speaks of is a huge problem, though hardly a surprise. It's a problem for us because we work across disciplines. And it is, I think, a rear-guard action in a time when online publication and distribution mechanisms more than allow anyone from any discipline to listen in to the conversations going on elsewhere. True, that listening in can be exceedingly demanding if you actually try to understand the context, but still it is easily begun. The form of this problem that I find most interesting is brought on by convergences between the humanities and the sciences thanks among other things to the technoscientific machine we've adopted. These convergences spook a number of us in digital humanities and beyond. Thus unsettled we reassure ourselves with such clubby talk of how superior we are, as Don says. Some of this clubby talk is very clever, very sophisticated, but it does anything but help. The insecurity just beneath the surface of the reactionary reactions is obvious. But here things get especially interesting. I like to ask, what is at the bottom of this insecurity? What tender spot is technoscience poking, increasingly vigorously these days? Why do some of us try to denegrate mathesis (Foucault's science of calculable order) as if this were necessary to honour poiesis (the bringing forth of things)? As an old friend of mine used to say, you don't get taller by cutting off the legs of others. When computing was new, signs of insecurity were more visible than they are now, but the problem has only gone underground, and not far under. In my experience it comes out when you talk to colleagues not about marvellous new tools but about what happens to research in their areas when these tools are applied critically, not just to make the work they already do faster & more convenient but to question it fundamentally. Again disciplinary invasion warnings are triggered, fears awakened and immune systems engaged. What *is* the nature of what we're playing at with our new toys? What *is* this sandbox (of the human) that we're in? Has anyone noticed that its limits are very blurry indeed? I recommend Evelyn Fox Keller's many writings about the effects of computational biology and biological computing on our idea of the human. We are, as Don says, in a position of power -- but mostly don't know that. Comments?

This Institute will explore the potential impact that digital pedagogy has on student experience. The Digital Pedagogy Institute will explore following topics: • How can digital research methodologies be used to improve student learning and engagement? • What are the best methods for teaching students digital skills so that they can actively participate in knowledge mobilization related to digital research? What instructional strategies have proven to be most successful? • What political and ideological decisions do educators (and institutions) involved in digital scholarship make in planning their teaching and research? • How can faculty shift from transmitting knowledge to facilitating collaborative learning, co-inquiring and co-learning with students via activity-centered projects? It will consist of plenary sessions, informational sessions, panel discussions, as well as hands-on workshops involving digital tools for research and curriculum development. Presentations from those who have developed digital projects as part of curriculum will give participants insight into the integration of this skill set into the post-secondary context, and how this integration has the potential to ameliorate learning experience and job readiness. TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIPS The Digital Pedagogy Institute, made possible through great support from Victoria Owen, Chief Librarian - UTSC, Brock University, Ryerson University, and the generosity of a SSHRC Connections grant, is offering seven (7) $500 travel scholarship to the conference. In order to qualify: * Students must be currently enrolled as a graduate student(exceptions will be made for undergrads) in a recognized post-secondary Institution. * Students must submit a 250 word statements about why they would like to attend the conference and how they would benefit from the award. * Preference will be given to speakers of successful proposals. * Proposals must be received by July 30th, 2015.

Oct. - 24 Oct. 2015 Call for Papers Modeling semantically Enriched Digital Edition of Accounts (MEDEA) Regensburg (Germany), Oct. 22-24, 2015 Account books have long been used as primary sources for economic and social history since they allow scholars to explore the development of economic behavior on both a macro- and micro-structural level. A number of projects in Europe and the United States have begun to explore models for digitizing such sources. The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) has developed useful models to encode texts and digital scholarly editions, and the semantic web offers opportunities to collect and compare data from multiple digital projects. The MEDEA project looks at these methods with the goal of developing broad standards for producing semantically enriched digital editions of accounts. It will foster discussion of benefits and deficiencies in existing standards by bringing together economic historians, scholarly editors, and technical experts to discuss and test the emerging methods for semantic markup of account books. For this purpose we call for contributions of scholars with experiences in the scholarly edition of historical financial records and ideas about how to use digital methods within this context. We invite proposals for participation in our first workshop, which will be held in *Regensburg (Germany), Oct. 22-24, 2015*. Participants will present current research projects using data from historical account books, describe the encoding models of their projects, and share ideas for a common model. The discussions and examples will focus on a set of questions intended to elucidate the features of accounts of greatest interest to scholars. Thus the activities will focus on the following issues: -- How might we model the economic activities recorded in these documents? In particular: What models of bookkeeping were followed historically and how can they be represented formally? Are data models developed for modern business reporting helpful? -- How can we model the economic reality behind the texts? Can we establish common resources on metrics and currencies or even the value of money that can be reused in other projects? Is it possible to build common taxonomies of commodities and services to facilitate the comparison of financial information recorded at different places and times? That is, can we develop references on the order of name authorities and standards for geo-referencing? -- How might we integrate topological information of the transcription with its financial interpretation? Is the “table” an appropriate method? What possibilities are offered by the TEI Manuscripts module and use of the tei:zone element? -- How can we integrate a topological/documentary approach and the growing linguistic interest in the texts with the interpretations that economic and social historians extract from the documents? Proposals should not exceed 700 words and should be submitted to medea.workshop@ur.de by August 24, 2015. The programme committee will assess the proposals and notify applicants no later than September 2, 2015. We particularly encourage proposals from early-career researchers from Europe and from the United States. A limited budget is available to support costs of travel and accommodation. If there remain any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. See more details on the project at http://medea.hypotheses.org/ .

Two passages from Barry Lopez's Arctic Dreams (2014/1986) lead me to wonder just how new our basic insights are and to open our eyes a bit more to our intellectual kinships. (1) > The most remarkable thing... is that [polar bears and brown bears] > have become so different in such a short time. We call them both > "bears", but when you see a polar bear surface quietly in a lead, > focus its small brown eyes on a sleeping bearded seal, draw breath > soundlessly, and submerge without a ripple, you wonder at the > insouciance with which we name things. (p. 86) (2) > The desire to verify conjecture, to witness spontaneous, unstructured > events in the wild, is of course very sharp among field biologists. > Nothing -- no laboratory result or field-camp speculation -- can > replace the rich, complex texture, the credibility, of something that > takes place "out there". And scientists working in the field know > that what they see in the field always has the potential to > contradict what they have read or been told.... [Some events they > witness] may be of no *statistical* importance. It may not be > possible, in other words, to generalize about all bears from these > incidents. But such events emphasize the resourcefulness of the > individual bear and the range of capability in the species; or they > may reveal and unusual technique widespread only in a certain > population. These events underscore something critical in the biology > of large predators: the range of capability in the species. No matter > how long you watch, you will not see all it can do. (p. 96) The first provokes me to reflect on the insouciance, as he says, of our classificatory activities, such as markup, and how easily awareness of that insouciance is lost in the pride of engineering, the second on the ever-present peril of being lead by the genuine successes of big-data analysis away from the "range of capability", which is to say, the exceptions to statistical rule in the populations we study. Field biologists and digital humanists have a fair bit in common, I conclude. Comments?

In-Reply-To: <20150723205508.D81166756@digitalhumanities.org> The Lopez quotes are evocative! They bring to mind my currently-favorite William James quote, "Nature is but a name we give to excess"—a line I picked up from the STS scholar John Law, who writes compellingly about the dark abundance of natural and technical systems that is always overspilling both the gubernatorial affordances of those systems and the epistemic constraints of our classificatory acts. Excess, abundance, ineluctable mystery—these long have been qualities to conjure with in the practices we call the humanities, and we do well to rekindle our attention to them in the context of the digital.

The Repository contains tens of thousands of high quality, metadata-rich digital objects, including video clips, photographs, digitised manuscripts, oral histories, sound recordings, digitised paintings and museum objects, books and letters. The DRI is the result of nearly four years of research, software development, policy and legal framework design, and data curation by digital archivists and librarians. Since we launched at the DPASSH conference on 25th June, we have been awarded the Data Seal of Approval (DSA) certification. The DSA is awarded by an international board of data repositories to those organisations who meet the national and international guidelines for digital data archiving. The DRI is committed to the long-term preservation of deposited assets. Trusted preservation is at the core of DRI’s mandate, and has informed the project’s requirements from the beginning. The DRI launched featuring beautiful and moving collections, including those from our broad range of demonstrator projects – Letters of 1916, the Clarke Stained Glass Studios Archive, Irish Lifetimes, Kilkenny Design Workshops, Saol agus Saothar Sheáin Mhic Ghiollarnáth, and the Teresa Deevy Archive – as well as the award winning Inspiring Ireland collections, featuring content from Ireland’s National Cultural Institutions, and rich collections of multi-media content from our partners Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ) and the Contemporary Music Centre (CMC).

Hence, i'm skimming thru some archives of the Humanist -mailinglist and saw your posts about visualization, from May: Willard: So many visualisations I have seen seem to stand as rhetorical Q.E.D.s, saying to us, "Behold!", but end more in puzzlement than reward us with understanding. Looking at some I wonder, e.g., why is this circular and not rectangular? Why are the elements in it uniformly distributed, not bunched up, or the other way around? What is this visualisation telling me? In one recent case a series of visualisations that I simply could not understand suddenly became brilliantly clear when the author of them explained her intent with a visual analogy. Before that analogy was supplied I was clueless, indeed was annoyed. Edward Tufte (originally an economic historian, I think) has written beautiful volumes on the subject. Has anyone here tried his or her hand with the rhetorics of visualisation or can cite particularly good examples? Stan: The thinking about rhetoric in design has a reasonably good pedigree, and some of it applies to visualization [...] Paul: I wrote a short blog post back in February on a related concern [...] This is a great topic, and as Willard said, Edward Tufte's work is – for me – the first go-to resource for thing about this. It took me a while to get around to his style of writing, but his books are great meditations on the topics, and are great at opening the mind for asking for more questions. I attended a one day workshop on data visualization at WÄRK:fest in Helsinki (http://www.warkfest.org/en/) a couple of years ago, and the workshop had a great idea that I have been trying to spread whenever given a chance (e.g. prompted by your posts on Humanist). The workshop went like so: all of the 4-5 teams had the same data, in this case a small dataset of market dominance of a few wholesales networks in Finland, and the same week there had been news covering the dataset, indicating the structural duopoly these two networks are having and exposing their tentacles of influence to various parts of the society. This was not positive news. However in the workshop we worked for a day, and the task was to present this as a positive story. We had to stay absolutely true to to data, and not manipulate it. Only to build, a present a narrative on the data, that we didn't believe in ourselves. I was teamed with two graphic designers, and let me tell you those people freak me out, their profession is visual manipulation and they were good at it! That workshop was a priceless experience, maybe you can organize something like that for yourselves too, to learn how to tell conflicting, alternative narratives while still being true to the data. When i see graphics, I try to remember the old wisdom "a picture is worth a thousand words", and actually to stop and just stare at the graphics for as much time as it would take me to read those 1000 words. Being a slow reader, that's several minutes. Basically, i'm denying graphics any timesaving function. That has been very useful rule-of-thumb.

I think, like text, graphics can serve many purposes - for rhetorical aims (perhaps propaganda or advertising/marketing), for conveying information to a specific group of people, or even as a creative act. The latter is of interest to me in a school where there are artists. For example, how does one represent an array or a vector, but in a personal way (not in a way designed to reach N other people, where N is large). This is also a useful approach that is inline with aesthetic computing initiatives: representing information for pleasure and craft rather than to convey a mass-audience message. Your task of creating a narrative for data, where you did not agree with the narrative sounds much like the purpose of public relations or advertising where the purpose is to sell a product or a mission. The same can be done with text-only and so is not unique to graphics. 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 _______________________________________________ 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 C7EE367E5; Mon, 27 Jul 2015 02:14:50 +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 C63A267DD; Mon, 27 Jul 2015 02:14:49 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BFABE66A2; Mon, 27 Jul 2015 02:14:47 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150727001447.BFABE66A2@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 02:14:47 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.193 jobs: directorship at Hamilton College 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: <20150727001450.29549.82018@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 193.

This is a perfect professional opportunity for someone who enjoys collaborating with others to help guide Hamilton’s digital future while maintaining its excellence in traditional media. We are looking for an individual with a demonstrated ability to build strong and lasting relationships with members of the academic community. The director provides leadership for cataloging, metadata creation, library information systems, digitization, data curation and preservation and is a major partner in our support for digital scholarship. The director will help keep Library and Information Technology Services (LITS) future-focused in a rapidly changing information resources environment and represent Hamilton in local, regional and national settings. The director reports to the VP for Libraries and Information Technology. Hamilton and LITS are innovators in supporting teaching, learning and faculty/ student scholarship. With grant funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, LITS staff are actively engaged in an internationally recognized effort to support digital scholarship through the Digital Humanities Initiative (http://www.dhinitiative.org/). In 2014, Hamilton and Colgate joined edX to experiment with online learning (http://www.hamilton.edu/lits/moocs), promote the public scholarship of our faculty, and enhance our intellectual connection with alumni. The following year, together with Davidson and Wellesley, the four liberal arts colleges formed *Liberal Arts Online: A Digital Teaching and Learning Collaborative* to share our experiences and work together to better understand the potential impact of online and blended learning for our residential institutions. In LITS, we have a broad program of employing students in substantive support roles, both to deliver excellent services, and to develop information and technology skills that they can apply throughout their careers. Our research tutor program provides opportunity for students to provide research support to their peers under the guidance of our research librarians. Similar programs exist to provide technology support to faculty and students. Hamilton is a member of important national and regional consortia including the Oberlin Group ( http://www.oberlingroup.org/), ConnectNY (http://connectny.org/), the Consortium of Liberal Arts Colleges (www.liberalarts.org) and the Council on Library and Information Resources (http://clir.org http://clir.org) and has a commitment to the ongoing professional development of its employees. Hamilton College is a residential liberal arts college and a national leader in teaching students to write effectively, learn from each other and think for themselves. Excellent faculty, highly capable and motivated students, and a student faculty ratio of 9:1, provide an educational experience that emphasizes academic excellence and the development of students as human beings, to prepare them to make choices and accept the responsibilities of citizenship in a democratic world of intellect and diversity. The College values and seeks intellectual and cultural diversity and encourages respect for differences. Hamilton's 1,350-acre campus is situated on a hilltop overlooking the picturesque village of Clinton, N.Y. and is only one hour from the Adirondack Park to the northeast. Hamilton’s commitment to diversity is embodied in its need-blind admission policy and meeting the full demonstrated financial need of every accepted student for his or her entire undergraduate program. *Director, Metadata and Digital Strategies* The director provides leadership for cataloging, metadata creation, library information systems, digitization, data curation and preservation. The director collaborates with others in LITS to support faculty and student scholarship, digitization and access to special collections and the oversight of institutional repositories and is a member of the strategic leadership team that develops a shared vision for LITS that supports Hamilton’s institutional mission.

Die Digital Humanities als fächerübergreifendes Forschungsparadigma", Leipzig 07.-12.03.2016 (Mehrfacheingänge bitten wir zu entschuldigen; wir freuen uns aber, wenn Sie den Call so weit wie möglich verbreiten) DHd 2016 Die 3. Tagung des Verbands "Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum e. V." findet vom 07. bis 12. März 2016 unter dem Leitthema "Modellierung - Vernetzung - Visualisierung: Die Digital Humanities als fächerübergreifendes Forschungsparadigma" an der Universität Leipzig statt. Ausgerichtet wird sie von Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Burr (Institut für Romanistik) und Prof. Dr. Gerhard Heyer (Institut für Informatik) Call for Papers I. Inhalte Der Verband "Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum (DHd) e. V." bittet um die Einreichung von Abstracts zur dritten Jahrestagung seit seiner Gründung. In der internationalen Tradition solcher Tagungen bitten wir um Beiträge in der ganzen Breite des Fachgebiets. Für das Leitthema "Modellierung - Vernetzung - Visualisierung: Die Digital Humanities als fächerübergreifendes Forschungsparadigma" sind besonders die folgenden Themenbereiche relevant: 1. Was sind die Daten der Geisteswissenschaften? Wie müssen die Daten der Geisteswissenschaften (digitalisierte bzw. digitale Texte, Bilder, Musik, Audio, Filme / Videos etc.) aufgearbeitet und vorgehalten werden, um sie über die Fächer hinweg nicht nur für unterschiedliche, sondern auch derzeit noch unbekannte Fragestellungen nutzen zu können? 2. Wie lassen sich die nur in Ausnahmefällen widerspruchsfreien, eindeutigen und konsistenten geisteswissenschaftlichen Daten so modellieren, untereinander und mit externen Daten vernetzen und visualisieren, dass es nicht nur zu einer Pluralisierung von Perspektiven auf die Artefakte kommen, sondern dass auch ein neues, vernetztes und damit umfassenderes Wissen über diese Artefakten generiert und präsentiert werden kann? 3. Welche Relevanz hat diese Modellierung, Vernetzung und Visualisierung für die Geistesartefakte selbst und für den Gewinn reproduzierbarer wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse über sie? 4. Wie müssen virtuelle, integrative und interaktive Forschungs-, Kommunikations- und Präsentationsumgebungen aussehen, damit sie der Umsetzung des fächerübergreifenden Forschungsparadigmas nützen, die Schaffung und Darstellung von Wissen ermöglichen und eine aktive Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit an diesen Prozessen erlauben? Unabhängig von dieser Schwerpunktsetzung freuen wir uns auch über Beiträge zu allen Bereichen der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften. Dazu gehören unter anderem: * Beispiele für disziplinspezifische Forschungsprojekte in der ganzen Breite der Geisteswissenschaften, sowohl in ihren objektbezogenen (Archäologie, Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Musikwissenschaft etc.) als auch in ihren textbezogenen Ausprägungen. * Alle Aspekte der Modellierung geisteswissenschaftlicher Inhalte und Forschungsprozesse, Probleme des Markups und anderer Ansätze zur Formalisierung von Inhalten, insbesondere auch im Bereich der semantischen Technologien. * Aspekte der Nutzung von Big Data-Datenpools für geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung. * Modelle und Praxiserfahrungen von Curricula und Ausbildungsgängen im Bereich der DH. * Kuratorische Aspekte digitaler Verfahren, Modelle der Kooperation von Wissenschaft und Gedächtnisinstitutionen (Bibliotheken, Archive, Museen). * Neue Formen der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation, Veränderung des Publikationswesens. * Durch innovative Softwarewerkzeuge ermöglichte neue methodische Ansätze. * Daten sind mehr als Text: 3D - und Multimedia-Anwendungen, Virtual Reality, digitale Kunst uvm.

In January 1985 the UK launched its first mobile networks. Now, thirty years on, we wish to celebrate the enormous achievements and advances that have been made since then and which have seen the mobile evolve from a humble telephone into the multimedia pocket computer which has become such an essential part of modern life. It was simply not possible in 1985 to envisage a country that would be able to boast more active mobile phones than people or to have along the way clocked up several world firsts, and be now leading on the deployment of 4G and shaping the future 5G technologies. Our one day colloquium will trace the evolution of the mobile within the UK through all of its major generations by bringing together speakers who were there when it happened and helped shape the future that we all now enjoy. This event is ideal for anyone interested in mobile technology, heritage or who simply wants to wallow in nostalgia. Alongside the main speaker programme we will also be hosting an extensive exhibition of mobile handsets and associated ephemera. The conference will be held on Saturday 12th September 2015 and hosted at the University of Salford's MediaCityUK building. Registration opens at 9:00am with the first presentation starting at 10:00am. The event concludes at 5:00pm and throughut the day attendees can enjoy a mobile phone exhibition. You must register in advance to attend this event and the registration fee includes refreshments and lunch.

The journal aims to create a platform for an innovative interdisciplinary discourse in the field of communication and media studies, with a focal point on pure communication inquiry. KOME is a theory and pure research-oriented journal of communication studies and related fields. Therefore theoretical researches and discussions that helps to understand better, or reconceptualize the understanding of communication are its centre of interests; being either an useful supplement to, or a reasonable alternative of current communication theories. Scholarly perspectives with the aim of creating an intellectual plus in the metatheory of communication, policies or research methods are especially welcomed, as well as linguistic or etymological analyses. KOME is also committed to the ideas of trans-and interdisciplinarity and prefer topics which are relevant for more than one special discipline of social sciences.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2015 14:19:47 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 29.185 machines: reading, thinking, creating In-Reply-To: <20150723010540.32297670A@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, You wrote As an old friend of mine used to say, you don't get taller by cutting off the legs of others. No, you don't, that's right, but a good friend of mine often adds that doings so seems to make some people feel taller. More constructively, poiesis is, or could be, what brings together all the different things we do, and the things we take up to do them with: our tools, machines, and systems. Much of what we do involves a basic bringing forth of something. Research and scholarship (of any kind) is about bring forth new knowledge and understanding, though, depending upon how we do this, it often brings forth other outcomes too: models, methods, simulations, techniques, communications (in different media and forms), collaborations, new questions, new doubts new uncertainties ... Designing and engineering brings forth the new, different, and more for our artificial worlds--the kinds of worlds most of us live in: the so called "built environment" and all the things we fill this up with, and surround ourselves with. We are not all equally comfortable and uncomfortable with all this, and cant expect to be. Each of us is different. But we are all a part of it, unless we chose to go off and be a goat herd living a hermit's life up a mountain somewhere. Where I do see some difference that may point to the "tender spot" you speak of is to do with who designs and builds the tools we take up to do our investigations and studies. I'm generalising here, perhaps too much, but science researchers mostly design and build the scientific instruments they use, albeit with much help from other designers and engineers. A radio astronomer--to take an example situation I was a part of--spent ten years getting together, managing, and making happen a project to design and build a new kind of radio telescope with which to make the observations needed to further our understanding of certain astronomical goings on. If, as a researcher or scholar, we do not command the tools we use, by having devised, developed, designed, and made them, then our relationship to our tools is different from one who has designed and built the tools he or she uses. The difference can result in mysteriousness about the way they work and ignorance about how and for what they can be used well. This doesn't separate science researchers from humanist scholars! Scholars in all of the humanities also have, and often profess the need to have, an in depth understanding of the tools and techniques they use, and of the tools and processes used to make the artifacts they study: books, paintings, photographs, films, stone tools, burial mounds, parchment, inks, old sailing ships, social organisations and institutions ... Today, it seems to me that many of the digital tools used by Humanist scholars are not so much of their own devising, designing, and making, and this creates discomforts, uncertainties, and worries about how they are used, and for what. Discomforts and worries perhaps most often expressed by those who don't use these "new toys." But I would see this as a temporary state of affairs. I see no reason why these same scholars, on discovering the shortcomings, inadequacies, and possibilities of their current digital tools--designed and built by others--will start to work to design and make new and better digital tools for their studies, and probably work with designers and engineers of digital technology to do this. Much as my radio astronomer worked with a structural designer and other engineers of various kinds to build his telescope. It took about a generation for astronomers to become successful radio-astronomers, in addition to optical astronomers. It started by taking graduates in electronic and radio engineering into autonomy PhD programmes. Perhaps it will take about the same in Digital Humanities, but it would help if we insisted rather less of teaching young people only STEM subjects.

MY TASK I need to import data from a website with static HTML pages into Drupal, the content management system I most often use. Part of the data are references lists. I need to parse each reference into its metadata parts, that is, author, book title, journal, pages, etc., according to its type (article, book, etc). An example of a page containing reference lists to be parsed can be found here http://t.sidekickopen13.com/e1t/c/5/f18dQhb0S7lC8dDMPbW2n0x6l2B9nMJW7t5XYg2Bppq6VfD0Ns1p1kpdW2BFNn256dW65f7Hk6Qz02?t=http%3A%2F%2Ffaculty.washington.edu%2Fkpotter%2Fxtxt1.htm&si=6254107054047232&pi=4040507e-2870-4616-e89c-aa917eb1b6fd _______________________________________________ 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 2D4AE6971; Sun, 9 Aug 2015 08:32:41 +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 83086696B; Sun, 9 Aug 2015 08:32:40 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BC88F6964; Sun, 9 Aug 2015 08:32:38 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150809063238.BC88F6964@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2015 08:32:38 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.199 novelty and kinships (a correction) 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: <20150809063240.20260.76607@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 199.

In-Reply-To: I'm following up to correct my sourcing of the James quote: I have it from Bruno Latour, in remarks he recently made collected here . The quote in question comes from James's A Pluralistic Universe (1909); here's the passage that follows, for further context: > nature is but a name for excess; every point in her opens out and runs into > the more; and the only question, with reference to any point we may be > considering, is how far into the rest of nature we may have to go in order > to get entirely beyond its overflow. In the pulse of inner life immediately > present now in each of us is a little past, a little future, a little > awareness of our own body, of each other's persons, of these sublimities we > are trying to talk about, of the earth's geography and the direction of > history, of truth and error, of good and bad, and of who knows how much > more? ​I thought I had it from John Law because much of Law's work ​limns the dappled, noncompossible realities of various sociotechnical systems and milieux. Of course, he takes up with Latour on this trajectory—a path that's useful for any digital humanities that acknowledges that things in the cultural realm, too, "open out and run into the more."

Submissions from the digital humanities community will be particularly welcome. This CFP can also be found on our blog here - http://blog.comicsgrid.com/2015/07/cfp-jazz-and-comics/. Many thanks, Ernesto The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship http://comicsgrid.com/ invites authors and artists to submit contributions for a special collection on the general topic of Jazz and Comics. This will be an open access scholarly collection co-edited by Dr Nicolas Pillai (Birmingham City University) and Dr Ernesto Priego (City University London). We welcome submissions from researchers, artists, graduate students, scholars, teachers, curators, publishers and librarians from any academic, disciplinary or creative background interested in the multidisciplinarystudy and/or practice of comics and jazz. Submissions must fulfil The Comics Grid’s editorial guidelines, available here http://comicsgrid.com/about/submissions . The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship is an open access journal; authors retain copyright of their own work and the published content is made available on HTML and PDF under a Creative Commons-Attribution License. The popular forms of jazz and comics have shared similar historical and cultural tendencies. As expressions of modernism, they have been subject to the demands of the marketplace and consumed by wide and varied audiences. Yet the liberatory qualities of comics and jazz have provoked concern in moral guardians, particularly in relation to the subcultures they have generated. Recalling Bourdieu, we might note that, within these subcultures, very divergent and often incompatible judgements are fiercely defended (1983: 24). In the 21st century, both jazz and comics are accepted as art forms. However, this elevated cultural position has arguably come at a price, contributing to the restriction of some forms of jazz and comics to specialised spaces of purchase and consumption. Over the last forty years, the fields of jazz studies and comic studies have gained currency within the academy and have been enriched by interdisciplinary approaches. The New Jazz Studies has invigorated the discipline beyond its musicological roots, while Comics Studies has thrived in the digital age. This collection aims to find meeting points between the disciplines. We are encouraged by the fact that distinguished jazz musicians such as Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock and Vince Guaraldi have each stated the influence of comic books on their musical development, while artists and writers have frequently turned to jazz for inspiration (e.g. strips about music appreciation by Harvey Pekar or Blutch). Jazz musicians have been the subjects of comic strips (e.g. Charlie Parker: Handyman, the BD Jazz series) and jazz musicians have created comic strips (Wally Fawkes/Trog). The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship welcomes research articles, book reviews, research notes, interviews, commentaries and research in comics form that develop the existing scholarship on jazz and comics as cultural and artistic practices within specific contexts and specific material conditions. We are particularly interested in work which emphasises interconnection and the multimodal. We proceed from an assumption that comics are not silent and that jazz is inherently visual. Potential contributors are encouraged to think about jazz and comics expansively—and to consider them as practices that resist rigid formal definitions. While this will primarily be an academic collection of essays, we welcome work that challenges traditional forms of academic writing that nonetheless follow rigorous academic practice. Submissions might, for example, present academic book reviews in comics form, or research-based interviews with practitioners or scholars. Possible topics may include (but are not restricted to): * The role of materiality and/or performativity in comics and jazz cultures * Comics and jazz collections in libraries and archives, and what comics and jazz librarianship and curatorial practice might learn from each other * Representations of jazz musicians and jazz history in comics * Visual and literary representations of jazz music in comics * Collectionism in comics and jazz cultures * The role of jazz music in films about comics and comics artists * Gender and jazz in comics * Critical engagements with biographies of jazz musicians in comics form Submissions can be in any of the article types listed in our author guidelines http://comicsgrid.com/about/submissions/ . It is essential all research submissions include and directly refer to and discuss, in-text, specific examples of comics (panels, pages). Please ensure you have read the author guidelines carefully before submitting. Submissions must be uploaded directly to the journal here http://comicsgrid.com/about/submissions/ . All research submissions are subject to peer review. For technical specifications and special guidelines for research presented in comics form, please contact the editors before submitting. Important dates * Submission deadline: 15 January 2016 * Estimated Acceptance/Rejection Notices date: 15 April 2016 * Estimated author revisions and proofreading period: 15 April- 15 June 2016 * Estimated Publication date: 15 July 2016 *Depending on the number of accepted submissions outputs may be published in the order they are accepted.

The journal features peer reviewed publications describing humanities data or techniques with high potential for reuse. Humanities subjects of interest to JOHD include, but are not limited to Art History, History, Linguistics, Literature, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies, etc. Data that crosses one or more of these traditional disciplines are highly encouraged. The full call for papers is available on the journal website: http://openhumanitiesdata.metajnl.com/ Please do let me know if you have any questions at all. All the best, Sam -- ----- Samuel Moore PhD Student, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London Twitter: @samoore_ http://www.twitter.com/samoore_ http://scholarlyskywritings.wordpress.com/ --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 11:45:12 -0400 From: Gregory Crane Subject: Open Patrologia Graeca 1.0 Open Patrologia Graeca 1.0 August 8, 2015 http://tinyurl.com/nlvhy9b Comments to munson@dh.uni-leipzig.de Federico Boschetti, CNR, Pisa Gregory Crane, Leipzig/Tufts Matt Munson, Leipzig/Tufts Bruce Robertson, Mount Allison Nick White, Durham (UK) (and Tufts during 2014) A first stab at producing OCR-generated Greek and Latin for the complete Patrologia Graeca (PG) is now available on GitHub at https://github.com/OGL-PatrologiaGraecaDev. This release provides raw textual data that will be of service to those with programming expertise and to developers with an interest in Ancient Greek and Latin. The Patrologia Graeca has as much as 50 million words of Ancient Greek produced over more than 1,000 years, along with an even larger amount of scholarship and accompanying translations in Latin. Matt Munson started a new organization for this data because it is simply too large to put into the existing OGL organization. Each volume can contain 250MB or more of .txt and .hocr files, so it is impossible to put everything in one repository or even several dozen repositories. So he decided to create a new organization where all the OCR results for each volume would be contained within its own repository. This will also allow us to add more OCR data as necessary (e.g., from Bruce Robertson, of Mt. Allison University, or from nidaba, our own OCR pipeline) at the volume level. The repositories are being created and populated automatically by a Python script, so if you notice any problems or strange happenings, please let us know either by opening an issue on the individual volume repository or by sending us an email. This is our first attempt at pushing this data out. Please let us know what you think. Available data includes: * Greek and Latin text generated by two open source OCR engines, OCRopus (https://github.com/tmbdev/ocropy) and Tesseract (https://github.com/tesseract-ocr). For work done optimizing OCRopus, see http://heml.mta.ca/lace. For work done optimizing Tesseract, see http://ancientgreekocr.org/. The output format for both engines in hOCR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOCR), a format that contains links to the coordinates on the original page image from which the OCR was generated. * OCR results for as many scans of each volume of the Patrologia Graeca that we could find in the HathiTrust. We discovered that the same OCR engine applied to scans of different copies of the same book would generate different errors (even when the scans seemed identical to most human observers). This means that if OCR applied to copy X incorrectly analyzed a particular word, there was a good chance that the same word would be correctly analyzed when the OCR engine was applied to copy Y. A preliminary study of this phenomenon is available here : http://tinyurl.com/ppyfdfj. In most cases, the OCRopus/Lace OCR contains results for four different scanned copies while the Tesseract/AncientGreekOCR output contains results for up to 10 different copies. All of the Patrologia Graeca volumes are old enough that HathiTrust members in Europe and North America can download the PDFs for further analysis. Anyone should be able to see the individual pages used for OCR via the public HathiTrust interface. * Initial page-level metadata for the various authors and works in the PG, derived from the core index at columns 13-114 ofCavallera’s 1912 index to the PG http://archive.org/details/PatrologiCursusCompletusAccuranteJ.-p.MigneseriesGrcaIndices (which Roger Pearse cites a thttp://www.roger-pearse.com/weblog/patrologia-graeca-pg-pdfs/). A working TEI XML transcription, which has begun capturing the data within the print source, is available for inspection at:https://www.dropbox.com/s/mldhu4okpq4i7r8/pg_index2.xml. All figures are preliminary and subject to modification (that is one motivation for posting this call for help), but we do not expect that the figures will change much at this point. At present, we have identified 658 authors and 4,287 works. The PG contains extensive introductions, essays, indices etc. and we have tried to separate these out by scanning for keywords (e.g., praefatio, monitum, notitia, index). We estimate that there are 204,129 columns of source text and 21,369 columns of secondary sources, representing roughly 90% and 10% respectively. Since a column in Migne contains about 500 words and since the Greek texts (almost) always have accompanying Latin translations, the PG contains up to 50 million words of Greek text but many authors have extensive Latin notes and in some cases no Greek text, so there should be even more Latin. For more information, look here : http://tinyurl.com/ppyfdfj. Next Steps 1. Developing high-recall searching by combining the results for each scanned page of the PG. This entails several steps. First, we need to align the OCR pages with each other -- page 611 for one volume may correspond may correspond to page 605 in another, depending upon how the front matter is treated and upon pages that one scan may have missed. Second, we need to create an index of all forms in the OCR-generated text available for each page in each PG volume. Since one of the two OCR engines applied to multiple scans of the same page is likely to produce a correct transcription, a unified index for all the text for all the scans of a page will capture a very high percentage of the words on that page. 2. Running various forms of text mining and analysis over the PG. Many text mining and analysis techniques work by counting frequently repeated features. Such techniques can be relatively insensitive to error rates in the OCR (i.e., you get essentially the same results if your texts is 96% accurate or if your texts are 99.99% accurate). Many methods for topic modelling and stylistic analysis should produce immediately useful results. 3. Using the multiple scans to identify and correct errors and to create a single optimized transcription. In most case, bad OCR produces nonsense forms that are not legal Greek or Latin. When one OCR run has a valid Greek or Latin word and others do not, that valid word is usually correct. Where two different scans produce valid Greek or Latin words (e.g., the common confusion of eumand cum), we can use the hOCR feature that allows us to include multiple possibilities. We can do quite a bit encoding the confidence that we have in the accuracy of each transcribed word. 4. Providing a public error correction interface. One error correction interface already does exist and has been used to correct millions of words of OCR-generated Greek but two issues face us. First, we need to address the fact that we cannot ourselves serve page images from HathiTrust scans. HathiTrust members could use the system that we have by downloading the scans of the relevant volumes to their own servers but that does not provide a general solution. Second, our correction environment deals with OCR for one particular scanned copy. Ideally, the correction environment would allow readers to draw upon the various different scans from different copies and different OCR engines. _______________________________________________ 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 842B26942; Sun, 9 Aug 2015 12:19:43 +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 C088768A5; Sun, 9 Aug 2015 12:19:42 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 33CC068A5; Sun, 9 Aug 2015 12:19:40 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150809101940.33CC068A5@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 9 Aug 2015 12:19:40 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.203 the end of digital humanities?

In-Reply-To: <20150809063134.E5CDC6921@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Amir, looking at this data there is no structure except for some rudimentary formatting. No standard library routine is going to be able to parse it correctly. You'll have to write your own parser, but it will be hard because it is written to be read by humans. For example, what will you do with: Sections translated in Pfad; Nyanaponika Edited with Ajitamitra's commentary. Sarnath 1991 There seem to be references to other works embedded in them. Maybe a lookup table would work. But it ain't going to be easy. I'd start with something that would parse the more complete entries, like Harunaga Isaacson, "Citations from the Ratnavali and Bodhicittavivarana in the Abhayapaddhati", SII 21, 1997, 55-58; 22, 1999, 55-58 Write something to split it into a hierarchy of sections and lines, and then match each line against a particular pattern. If it matches, then add it to a table of "finished" entries. Then gradually add more patterns until you've got most of it. Then add the hardest ones by hand.

In-Reply-To: <20150809101940.33CC068A5@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Paul, I initially thought that making a comparison between astronomy and the humanities is simply invalid. There are aspects of humanities research that have nothing whatever to do with digital methods. Interpretation of texts, for example. But then I thought about concept mining and textual analysis tools that *aid* interpretation, and so the question then became: 'are there any aspects of humanistic research that will *never* succumb to digital methods?' I can't think of any. Indeed, is the meteoritic growth of DH due to an increased interest in our cultural heritage or just humanists going digital? In the latter case, digital humanities seems bound to become just 'humanities' - eventually. So, will the last true humanist please remember to turn off the lights?

I suppose logically this can be because they articulate a persistent truth that a persistent ambition or fear tries to put down or the reverse. For me the interesting question is why this happens. Appeal to the unknowable future, by direct prediction or by analogy, is a handwaving way of escaping that question I hope we can put aside here. While it is possible, of course, that digital humanities might disappear, be absorbed into the disciplines etc, we should be asking whether this is what we want to happen and if asked can say why. I have two whys for wanting it not to happen: (1) the collision of digital representation and interpretation I find an endlessly productive intellectual cornucopia; (2) the digitization of our cultural heritage (as Jerome McGann has argued at length) demands that we pay attention to it if we wish not to be devastatingly impoverished. Brian Cantwell Smith (in 1995, I think) argued that the great thing about digital computing is that it rendered the fact of being digital irrelevant. Let us for purposes of argument deny that analogue vinyl records and vacuum tube (valve) amplifiers produce a superior, warmer etc sound to that put forth from digital files by means of digital equipment. Certainly in that case the means of recording and reproduction is to the listener completely irrelevant. But to the audio engineer, who can detect if not hear the differences, these differences matter a great deal, I would think. To whom, looking for what, are these very real differences irrelevant? Consider the perspective of the (en)coder, the database designer, the programmer who is pursuing research in the humanities him- or herself by digital means. Consider digital humanities as means to do research in the humanities, not as a job performed for an "end user" who will then go off to do his or her research elsewhere by other means. Consider someone who comes moment by moment up against the difference between binary representation and interpretative perception. Let us rid digital humanities permanently of the class distinction between technician servant and academic master. Let us look closely at what this class distinction has done to both master and servant (by reading historical studies of servitude, not by watching Downton Abbey). Missing also from the tired argument that has surfaced here once again is any awareness of the 70-year history of digital humanities, indeed of close knowledge of what is actually happening in the research of actual digital humanists now. True, this knowledge is difficult to come by amidst all the bandwagon handwaving and shouting, all the hype that hides that history, as Mike Mahoney used to say. Disciplines are what disciplined people do. It seems to me a profound category error to treat any discipline as a thing to be defined, as if sense could be made e.g. of history, English, computer science, cultural studies and all the rest that way, from the outside. (Who as a child was not told, "those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".) Having made that category error is it surprising that the attempts we have for digital humanities are such poor things? Comments?

Unfortunately, my original email was cut and an important part was omitted somehow (just after the link to the example page, maybe because it was long?) I will am pasting it here. As you see from this second part of the email - the problem is not with the overhaul structure of the data items but rather with the very line of a specific source... Actually, my plan regarding how to deal with the overhaul structure is very much like that you have proposed ("great minds think alike"... Just kidding). Anyway, I really want to know what tools or libraries are generally used if the source line IS structured. *>> HERE STARTS THE OMITTED PART OF THE ORIGINAL EMAIL >>* WHAT I NEED I have been investigating this subject, and I have gathered a bunch of tools and code libraries. I will test them, of course. However, I usually import structured data (old relational databases or structured files, such as JSON or XML); this is my first time dealing with linear bibliographic reference lists. WHAT I ASK Here is where I ask for help: I would like to hear from the community (you guys!) about your experience with a task like mine: - Could anyone who has used such a tool/library share his or her experience? - Is there any tool/library that you would recommend? - Do you know of any specific DH projects that have involved such parsing? - Any other tips ...? NOTES 1. Apart from parsing the reference line into its metadata (title, author, pages, etc.) It would be great if the parsing results include a value that says what kind of reference it is (article, book, in book, booklet, proceedings, in proceedings, PhD thesis, Master thesis, conference, etc.). 2. Coding language or running platforms are not important. 3. Locating the reference lists is not an issue at all, nor is separating each list into individual reference lines. Only the parsing of a single reference line is the issue.

In-Reply-To: <20150809063134.E5CDC6921@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Amir, looking at this data there is no structure except for some rudimentary formatting. No standard library routine is going to be able to parse it correctly. You'll have to write your own parser, but it will be hard because it is written to be read by humans. For example, what will you do with: Sections translated in Pfad; Nyanaponika Edited with Ajitamitra's commentary. Sarnath 1991 There seem to be references to other works embedded in them. Maybe a lookup table would work. But it ain't going to be easy. I'd start with something that would parse the more complete entries, like Harunaga Isaacson, "Citations from the Ratnavali and Bodhicittavivarana in the Abhayapaddhati", SII 21, 1997, 55-58; 22, 1999, 55-58 Write something to split it into a hierarchy of sections and lines, and then match each line against a particular pattern. If it matches, then add it to a table of "finished" entries. Then gradually add more patterns until you've got most of it. Then add the hardest ones by hand.

In-Reply-To: <20150810070757.9F6396964@digitalhumanities.org> I'd suggest that DH holds onto the appellation "digital" because the humanities are/have become reflexive practices in ways the natural sciences have't done. Although DH is considered by many to constitute a fairly radical break with the "theory era" in the humanities, it may be a lingering effect of certain strands of poststructuralism, etc. that we're constantly looking at our tools & reviewing our roles in social & political realms. It's interesting to imagine what practice in the natural sciences might look like if it incorporated—not as water-cooler banter but *method*—a similar blend of anxiety and amour-propre...

Is one of the reasons this discussion keeps surfacing that people are trained into looking towards the new, the next thing, the shiny shiny thing over the horizon? As with you, what bothers me most is the lack of context in the discussion which seems to assume digital humanities is something new. I've usually eschewed discussions of what is or is not Digital Humanities (except when various hats I wear force me to), so have no problem believing that there is a long continuum of DH from Humanities Computing and even much earlier terms and contexts. While your archetypical humanities professor (as if such a thing ever existed) on the Clapham omnibus now is fully immersed in a digital culture of conducting her correspondence by email, using online catalogues, looking at primary sources online, before writing up her thoughts for publication using a wordprocessor, this is merely humanities research in a digital culture. As our culture becomes increasingly digital, then the tools and methodologies used by the putative humanities professor will become so as well. But this humanities professor is not 'doing digital humanities' as I suspect you and I would define it. If the 'Digital Humanities' collapses back into the 'Humanities' then it is doing something wrong -- it is not living up to its potential. >> While it is possible, of course, that digital humanities >> might disappear, be absorbed into the disciplines etc, we should be >> asking whether this is what we want to happen and if asked can say why. >> >> I have two whys for wanting it not to happen: (1) the collision of >> digital representation and interpretation I find an endlessly productive >> intellectual cornucopia; (2) the digitization of our cultural heritage (as >> Jerome McGann has argued at length) demands that we pay attention >> to it if we wish not to be devastatingly impoverished. I think that "1" can always also be talking about collisions which the mainstream Humanities has not even though possible yet. With "2", it recalls arguments I've made in my own institution for the making openly available the cultural heritage riches which it happens to contain. The work of my colleagues in the Bodleian in producing a resource such as http://digital.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/ is a good start (but with many obvious areas for improvement). >> Let us rid digital humanities permanently of the class distinction >> between technician servant and academic master.

I'd wholeheartedly support this, but let's be clear that what you are asking flies in the face of the divisions inherent in many academic institutions. The academics with whom I partner in my own post always seem to conclude projects with a much clearer understanding of the academic nature of the work that happens on the technical side of research projects. It is rare these days where people approach my team assuming them to be merely technician servants, but institutional practices do more to highlight this than academics themselves. >> It seems to me a profound category error to treat any >> discipline as a thing to be defined, as if sense could be made e.g. of >> history, English, computer science, cultural studies and all the rest >> that way, from the outside.

While I agree that this is a category error, I'm not sure that is the reason for poor digital humanities. Maybe digital humanities would have gone the way of digital astronomy if we'd had their resources. Instead of predicting that digital humanities will disappear in 30 years (if it does, it will only be because those who do it hide what they do under other terms), I'd predict that the next great leaps in astronomy will be people doing digital astronomy (but hiding it under other astronomy sub-disciplines for sake of funding). -James -- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings@it.ox.ac.uk Academic IT Services, University of Oxford --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 18:18:18 +0200 From: Marco Petris Subject: Re: 29.203 the end of digital humanities? In-Reply-To: <20150809101940.33CC068A5@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Paul, I think there is nothing wrong in giving new research methods a name so that people know what to look for (students looking for a subject of study for example). Sometimes these names last longer than 30 years even if the methods aren't that new anymore (computational linguistics) and sometimes there is no need for a name even if the methods are used (nothing on "computational archeology" from Google NGram Viewer). I think what Roger Malina tries to say is that names fade away when they are no longer needed and the methods will stay if they prove to be useful, so what?

In-Reply-To: <20150810070757.9F6396964@digitalhumanities.org> I believe the problem faced with Digital Humanities is the assumption that it is only the incorporation of digital methods to conduct Humanities research. This definition does contribute to the class problem between the technician and the academic. To a degree the aforementioned definition is correct, and if that remained the only distinguishing factor between DH and H, then it is true that DH would become simply "The Humanities" in the future. Yet, DH has grown to be much more than that. It is deeper than visualization projects conducted for an end user and has the flavors of a separate, burgeoning discipline. The juxtaposition of DH v just plain H is akin to the different between History and Anthropology (with the same debatable difference and likeness). It is macro vs micro. DH is more about process than product. It's the consideration of assumptions made to generate an end user experience. It's more reflective than simple digital methodologies. It's using the digital to speak about our Humanity. It's the discussion of the inevitable move to digital interfaces and what that means in how we understand the world. What research is made available? What new insights can we glean by using DH methods? What do our choices say about how we construct arguments in a specific cultural context? What does the distillation of the Humanities into binaries mean? It's less about what we can glean by the dominance of pub scenes in the works of James Joyce for example, and more about what we can glean about ourselves because we've decided to do that (or not) digitally. The process of text-mining the works of James Joyce may reveal new insights into the influence of his life in his writing, but to me, this seems secondary to the interplay of the writing/works and the digital platform. In my mind, this is the difference between the *ahem* "true Humanist" and the Digital Humanist. Just my two cents.

Disciplined people decide what to do, how to do it, know why they do it, and have good reasons for all this, that change as a result of the disciplined doing. So, I easily agree, it is "a profound category error to treat any discipline as a thing to be defined." Disciplines are done, not defined. If you want to know what a discipline is, look at what's being done. Those who seek to define a discipline or field of practice, particularly a new one, are, I think, most often out to dominate it or do it down, usually for the benefit of their own interests. Less often it's an attempt to allay fears of the new and unknown: the fallacy of "if we define it, we'll know what it is." The way we study and investigate things--the tools we select, the technologies the tools are rendered from, the practices the tools are taken up in, the methods that guide the practices, the knowledge and understanding that informs the methods, the kinds and forms of the outcomes, the discoveries we make--influence and shape how we think about what we do, how we do it, and why we do it: they all shape the discipline. It would therefore be surprising if Digital Humanities turned out to be just Humanities done using (so called) digital tools and techniques. Names, of course, are a part of this influencing, albeit a small part. They often reflect what was acceptable and accepted at the time the names were first made and used. They are seldom fully appropriate, nor clear indicators of important distinctions. Digital Humanities might be called Computational Humanities, given that it is the phenomenon of (digital) computation that has and is being taken up and used, and which is shaping and shoving work in the Humanities. (Brian Smith was right, the digital here doesn't matter.) It's like we now have Computational Fluid Dynamics, but still have people who use towing tanks and wind tunnels, for good reasons. Names don't fade away. Names and naming always have their own politics of power and identity. Names get dropped or stamped on and replaced by "better" ones by those with particular interests to promote or defend. Take "Artificial Intelligence," for example. In Edinburgh, where AI got one of it's most important starts in Europe, it was first called (by Donald Michie) Machine Intelligence, but AI was subsequently adopted because that's what it was called in the US, where the name was invented and most of the early efforts got started. After the (so called) AI winter--following publication of the ALPAC report (1966) in the US, and the Lighthill report (1974) in the UK, new names were invented, such as Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems (IKBS). This became the official name for AI in the Alvey programme (1980s), for those of you who might remember those days. Today, Computational Intelligence would perhaps be a better name for what we went back to calling AI, after the winter ice melted. Any class distinction between "technician servant" and "academic master" should evaporate if the masters become the ones who devise and build the tools they use, and [further] develop the technologies needed to render the new and better tools they see they need. This is, after all, an essential aspect of becoming a master of your craft. And research is a craft that needs mastering to be able to do it well. Until this happens, we are all apprentices without masters to learn from.

That is, at its best, it allows for the equal participation of people like librarians, developers, and designers. People who are not faculty (though they too may sometimes teach, do research, and publish). This, as James points out, is constantly subverted by the Academy though, which wants to hire DH faculty—people who do and study Humanities in some Digital way, or vice versa. That is, the push is not to build collaborative teams who can do research and development beyond the capabilities of any single member, but to have more (essentially) lone scholars who do the sorts of things scholars do and care about the sorts of things scholars care about. The faculty wants to reproduce itself, not to hire people who are different but are paid at the same level as the faculty—and you have to pay these people reasonably or they’ll just go make twice as much money in industry and you'll lose your store of practical knowledge. I certainly don’t mean to say there’s anything wrong with hiring DH faculty, but you don’t have to be "DH" faculty to "do DH", nor indeed do you have to be faculty. As a colleague pointed out in conversation yesterday, what would you get more mileage out of: hiring a junior DH/German Studies academic, who knows a bit of German and a bit of technology? Or hiring a research software engineer and teaming them (as equal partners) for a few years with a senior German Studies professor? The latter would stand more chance of making real impact I think, but would mean conceiving of how the Humanities side of the Academy works quite differently. All the best, Hugh /** * Hugh A.

In-Reply-To: <20150810070757.9F6396964@digitalhumanities.org> Greetings. I can add a few disconnected remarks to this, concerning ADASS (the conference series which Roger Malina mentioned), and the journal Astronomy and Computing. The analogy between 'digital astronomy' and 'digital humanities' isn't exact, but might be close enough to be thought-provoking. I won't draw out the points of contact explicitly, below. I'm a sporadic attendee at ADASS -- my first one was ADASS XIII in 2003, having been in the general field for about five years before that; this year's is ADASS XXIV. It's a conference series that people tend to go to repeatedly. I think there's now only one person remaining who gets a gold star on his conference badge for having been to every single one, but there are several silver-star people. (Incidentally, I don't think I've ever heard the term 'digital astronomy', so I think that flash in the pan flared out before I got involved.) Astronomy relies on big telescopes -- telescopes which are too large for one institution or country, and so which are collaboratively funded by national research councils and the like. This is one of the principal reasons why astronomy and particle physics are funded, in the UK, by a separate research council (stfc.ac.uk) from the rest of physics. In consequence, a lot of the data-management, curatorial, software and archival work has been done by observatory or university staff in a service rather than academic mode. The following is a broad-brush simplification, to stress the point I'm making: That means that a lot of the people going to ADASS are, in a sense, 'quasi-academic': they are typically academics 'gone to the bad', who have ended up specialising in computing rather than astronomy (this includes me, and of course only I or my peers get to use that expression!), so they're employed to do this work, rather than moonlighting from a research job. Astronomy is one of the disciplines that sees conference papers as 'not a real publication', so that people go to ADASS to talk and meet, and the abstract acceptance rate is pretty high; the papers are stereotypically 'what we've been doing in the last year' rather than 'we're going to revolutionise science; worship us'. Until recently. In the last decade, to a greater extent than hitherto, people are making deliberate careers in 'astronomy computing', in the sense that they are not doing this purely in a service mode, but in a context which requires them to get publications and associated academic glory. ADASS has not really serviced that, and papers describing the technology tend not to be accepted by the main astronomy journals [1]; and after a certain amount of naval-gazing, that's why I and others created the journal Astronomy and Computing [2] to provide a non-ADASS outlet for fully formal refereed work in the general field. The rationale is elaborated in the editorial at [3]. That describes a certain amount of agonising over the field's name -- 'astronomical computing', 'astroinformatics', and a couple of other possibilities -- resolved by the boringly descriptive name we eventually plumped for. What is the link to 'digital humanities'? I'm not sure (and the notes above, and this conclusion, are written in some haste and are a little undigested), but it might be, as Roger Malina suggests, that astronomy has gone through a cycle a little faster, or earlier, than the humanities has. Perhaps this 'subdiscipline as new academic area' is in DH's future; perhaps the analogy breaks down. If anyone is interested in the details, I can surely add more, or (since astronomy is a discipline with a strong interest in its own history) I would lay money I can find some written account of the history of these changes.

Hunt Jr. Library in Raleigh, North Carolina [1]. We invite you to participate in this exciting workshop for practitioners and researchers involved in interactive technologies in Libraries. Liberact strives to meet the need for libraries and museums to stay current with the rapidly changing landscape of interactive technologies through an intensive collaborative experience that provides a rich opportunity for cross-channel communication. Most workshop attendees are also presenters, as librarians, technologists, and faculty come together to present current projects, discuss next steps and brainstorm future projects. Previous workshops were hosted by Harvard University [2] and the University of Calgary [3]. This workshop will immediately precede the Designing Libraries IV conference to be held at the same location on Sept. 20-22. Presentations are encouraged to explore the topics of immersive experiences, visualization spaces, and associated technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D environments. Proposals are being accepted for the following formats: presentation (15-45 min.), interactive poster/demonstration, and lightning talk. The deadline for proposals is August 24, 2015. Event details, including registration link, proposal submission form, and accommodation information are available through the workshop website at http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/liberact. The registration cost of $150 covers breakfasts, lunches, breaks, and the cost of bus travel from the downtown hotel to the Hunt Library. A block of hotel rooms will be available for $137/night + tax for reservations made until August 17. Attendance will be limited to a total of 50 people. Thanks for your interest in Liberact 2015!

González, "Seeing into hearts and minds", in Anthropology Today 31.3 for June 2015 ("Part 1. The Pentagon's quest for a 'social radar'") and 31.4 for August ("Part 2. 'Big data', algorithms, and computational counterinsurgency"). Wiley has these behind the usual sort of paywall. The tapping into anthropology by political and military strategists is an old story, however. The same kind of thing happened, I recall, during WWII and in its wake. Those who advocate the need for academics to have demonstrable impact might consider from the history of anthropology what such popularity can entail.

Call for papers: "The Postclassical Greek: the Intersections of Philology and Linguistics" Location: Mainz, Germany Date: February 15-17, 2016 Website: http://rafiyenko.info/tagung/Full Version as pdf: http://www.rafiyenko.info/tagung/Postclassical_Greek_Call.pdf Deadline for the submission of the abstracts: October 1, 2015. *Description* Greek is one of the few languages in the world with an uninterrupted literary tradition. Nearly all the periods of Greek are well-documented by large amounts of texts. While the pre-classical and classical periods have been receiving much scholarly attention for centuries (for a synoptic overview see Giannakis, ed. and 2014; Bakker, ed., 2010), the study of post-classical Greek, from New Testament Greek until the Byzantine period, is a much recent phenomenon, albeit with a large body of research (cf., inter alia, Browning 1983; Horrocks 2010; Bentein 2014; Gianollo 2010; and Janse 1993).This interdisciplinary workshop aims at bringing together scholars working on different aspects of post-classical Greek up to the Byzantine period. We strongly believe that only integration of the linguistic and philological knowledge can create a coherent model of the processes that underlay the language change of that period and provide answers as to why Greek of the Byzantine period is the way it is. We aim at highlighting language changes /sensu latissimo/ of that period from different perspectives. The topics we would like to address are among the following (but are not restricted to them):- Language standardization phenomena, penetration of the colloquial elements of the period into written texts; the effects of the tradition, as, for example, scribes’ mistakes; what can be gained or lost from studying the manuscripts directly?- Parameters and metrics for distinguishing between normalized texts and texts with a stronger penetration of colloquial elements of contemporary Greek; influence of Classical and Biblical Greek;- Principles that underlie the written tradition; text copying (such as, e.g., amendments/corrections by copyists);- The role of Byzantium in the preservation of Classical texts: How much intervention on the part of the Byzantine scribes/excerptors/compilers is there to expect? How do the changes to the Classical texts made in the Byzantine period can be traced and how do they influence our understanding of the Classical period? (cf. Kaldellis 2012)- The social, historical and cultural environment that potentially may have constrained the language of that period; influence of other languages and the way the interaction with other languages was organized;- The sociolinguistic situation: different registers/lects, diatopic and diastratic variation; multilingualism;- Effects of the historical-critical editing (as, for example, normalization or emendations): To what extent do they mirror the linguistic “reality”? Are these effects rather insignificant or do they have a potential to influence our understanding of the language?- Is the chronological division of the language tradition into Classical, Byzantine and Modern, which influenced the study of Greek since the Renaissance times, justified?- Methods and metrics for dating texts on the basis of linguistic phenomena;- Purely linguistic approaches to language change such as grammaticalization, language contact, structural and functional explanations, etc.; emergence of new grammatical categories; disappearance of grammatical categories;- How Digital Humanities may contribute to the questions addressed in the workshop? Which corpora do we have?

On a somewhat related note, a seminar that Fatma Tarlaci and I are organizing a at next year's annual conference of the American Comparative Literature Association (to be held at Harvard University, March 17-20, 2016) may be of possible interest. DH as "post-theory" is one of the things that we are interested in.... Our call for papers for the seminar went live at the ACLA website a few weeks ago — the link is: http://www.acla.org/seminar/what-do-comparative-literature-and-digital-humanities-have-say-each-other The full text of our CFP is below. What do Comparative Literature and Digital Humanities have to say to each other? Organizers: Sayan Bhattacharyya, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign (sayan@illinois.edu), Fatma Tarlaci, University of Texas, Austin (ftarlaci@utexas.edu) As the controversially dubbed Digital Humanities comes to occupy an increasingly prominent and brightly-lit spot amidst the gloomy and crisis-ridden landscape of today’s humanities fields, it seems to resemble, more and more, a Rorschach test. Some see Digital Humanities as the stalking-horse of a predatory neoliberalism seeking to colonize the academy by displacing the critical function of the humanities with techno-optimist cheerleading, while others advance a redemptive narrative in which the destiny of Digital Humanities is to recover for the humanities their lost former centrality in the world of ideas. Whatever the reason, Comparative literature as a field of inquiry has not had as much engagement with Digital Humanities as some other humanities disciplines recently have. However, a fertile ground may well exist for a deep critical engagement of Comparative Literature with Digital Humanities — given, on the one hand, the interdisciplinary nature of Comparative Literature and the acknowledgement of multiplicity that underlies Comparative Literature’s normative foundations, and, on the other hand, the emphasis, in Digital Humanities, on multimodality (as in distant/close, visual/narrational, *et cetera*) as central to reading and interpretation. We seek papers that interrogate the terms of such potential engagement in both directions. Of special interest are papers that highlight methods and approaches particular to Comparative Literature that could help both to enrich Digital Humanities and to critique the implicit and unstated assumptions of Digital Humanities; or delineate the ways in which Digital Humanities could be a source of new metaphors that enliven and reinvigorate high theory — including pedagogically — in the so-called “post-theory” era. ———————————— As the ACLA website, , says, "Individuals interested in participating in a particular seminar are encouraged to be in touch with the organizers over the summer; paper submissions through the [ACLA] portal will open Sept. 1 and close Sept. 23." We encourage those interested in the topic to consider submitting a paperproposal!

[The following query began somewhat of a flame-war where it was posted, in the e-mail list of SIGCIS (Special Interest Group: Computers, Information and Society, www.sigcis.org). Whatever the value of the article that sparked it may be, the more violent reaction so far to it gives us an example of what can happen when something meant for one disciplinary context finds its way into another. It raises the question of how to anticipate inadvertent interdisciplinarity. Those interested in following the reactions will find them at http://lists.sigcis.org/pipermail/members-sigcis.org/. --WM] Anyone seen this piece by Tara Mcpherson? It starts with some interesting questions, but I found the follow-through to be disappointingly ahistorical. Again and again she argues that there must be a connection between the modularity of Unix and the compartmentalization of race within American culture, but then immediately admits that she has no evidence for any direct connection. As far as I can tell, the only reason she singles out Unix is because it coincides conveniently with the US Civil Rights era. I'm curious to know what others think.

Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Digital Humanities . One award is available to an untenured scholar in the humanities whose PhD must have been received between December 2007 and December 2015. The DH Fellow is required to spend the nine-month academic year (September 2016 – May 2017) in residence at Penn. The PhD is the only eligible terminal degree. MFAs and other doctorates such as EdD are ineligible. In addition to scholars from the core humanities disciplines, those in related fields such as anthropology and the history of science are eligible to apply. Additional educational background in programming, library sciences, computer graphics, computational linguistics, or other fields relevant to digital humanities research is desirable but not required. The Mellon Fellow will be affiliated with both the School of Arts and Sciences and the Penn Libraries, and will participate in the biweekly Price Lab Mellon Seminar. The fellow will pursue his or her own research project, presenting this work at the seminar, while also contributing to team-based projects at the Lab, and teaching one DH course during the year in the undergraduate College. (While the application requires a brief course description, actual specifications of the class will be worked out next spring with the Price Lab’s Managing Director.) The Mellon DH Fellowship carries an annual stipend of $55,000 plus single-coverage health insurance (fellows are responsible for coverage of any dependents). Applicants from outside the US must be eligible for appointment under a J-1 visa (Research Scholar status); no exceptions will be made, and the Price Lab reserves the right to revoke a fellowship if the recipient is unable to meet this condition. Applications are accepted via secure webform only. Requires three letters of recommendation, an application form, and a CV. * Full fellowship guidelines, the downloadable application, and details on the Price Lab website: pricelab.sas.upenn.edu * Application deadline: 30 October 2015. -- Elizabeth Della Zazzera Research Associate, Price Lab for Digital Humanities PhD candidate, History University of Pennsylvania _______________________________________________ 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 BEFD76AB9; Wed, 19 Aug 2015 07:07:54 +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 24E456A45; Wed, 19 Aug 2015 07:07:53 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B14B26888; Wed, 19 Aug 2015 07:07:49 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150819050749.B14B26888@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2015 07:07:49 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.223 parsing bibliographical reference lists 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: <20150819050754.7911.45189@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 223.

This is not the first time I have witnessed a distinctly poignant qualification of McPherson's article. I had the questionable pleasure of pointing some of my more 'hard core' IT colleagues to it. Reactions were almost unanimously knee-jerk and face palm, discarding it outright as "nonsense" at best and, in the worst case, "b*ll sh**" (including eyes rolling). Personally I think McPherson's argument on specific technical details is less informed than it could have been, but this should not drown out her major and justified plea—as I read it—to critically examining computer science and computational paradigms from a anthropological or social science perspective to uncover the potential cultural biases involved with developing IT technology. The issue you raise is with inadvertent interdisciplinarity. I think however that the more knee-jerk reactions reveal that we are dealing not so much with an aspect of suboptimal communication between disciplines. To me these violent reactions rather reveal an immature ability of IT as a (sub)culture to self-reflect on strongly held particular beliefs and norms. One of these beliefs is a neutrality of mathematics and logic as the underpinning of information technology. A perceived fundamental neutrality that–I would argue—many in the IT domain believe to warrant the neutrality of code, or at least its amorality. Such core believes are still held by many in the IT domain, I would contend. Challenging such core beliefs is painful and causes violent rejection of the argument. In this the violent reaction to McPherson's article resembles for instance the reactions we have seen when IT culture was challenged (and continues to be challenged) on its misogynistic character, a deplorable trait for which ample evidence however meanwhile exists. Many in the IT domain would have deeply hoped that software and computation would be free and impervious to such real world and cultural aspects. Being pointed out, or even being questioned that reality might be different is grating. I think the small flame war we witnessed is thus not primarily a symptom of inadequate interdisciplinary interaction, but more one of a number of to-be-expected results of the examination of a (relatively) young field being questioned and challenged on its cultural norms and beliefs with the aim to uncover its biases and to enhance its cultural and paradigmatic pluralism. I see it as a rocky road to a more cultural reflexive and humanistically informed IT domain. A condition that to me seems paramount before we can even start to think of real interdisciplinarity.

In this context, commitments to sustainability, or minimization of damage, prove insufficient. To develop regenerative, capabilities, architectural design needs to extend beyond the form and function of things in contained projects and engage with the management of complex systems. Such systems involve multiple types of dynamic phenomena - biotic and abiotic, technical and cultural - and can be understood as living. Engagement with such living systems implies manipulation of pervasive and unceasing change, irrespective of whether it is accepted by design stakeholders or actively managed towards homeostatic or homeorhetic conditions. Responding to this challenge, CAADRIA 2016 seeks to interrogate the notion of continuity and the applicable architectural toolsets in order to map and discover opportunities for innovation.

Dear Joris, I agree that some of the negative reaction to Tara Mcpherson's essay (which is quite dated by now) is, as you say, perhaps reflective of "an immature ability of IT as a (sub)culture to self-reflect on strongly held particular beliefs and norms." For a more current view, also presented within the context of the humanities and the Modern Language Association in particular, see BARNETT, FIONA M.

Ten years ago, at the first edition of DHCS, Greg Crane asked “What to do with a million books?”. And since then, dealing with issues related to Big Data has been a continuous pursuit of Digital Humanists. As such, for this tenth edition of the Chicago Colloquium, we would like to invite submissions on any research broadly related to Digital Humanities and Computer Science work applied to humanistic research, with a particular focus on visualization tools, theories, methodologies and workflows to make sense of Big Data. A submission for a paper or poster should include an abstract of ~750 words and a minimal bio. Please send it to clovisgladstone@uchicago.edu by August 31st. This year’s DHCS is sponsored by The University of Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Northwestern University, DePaul University, and the Illinois Institute of Technology. -- Clovis Gladstone Assistant Researcher/Developer Computation Institute The ARTFL Project University of Chicago _______________________________________________ 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 3EE006ABB; Fri, 21 Aug 2015 07:26:52 +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 747D06AAE; Fri, 21 Aug 2015 07:26:50 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 27F156AAE; Fri, 21 Aug 2015 07:26:47 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150821052647.27F156AAE@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2015 07:26:47 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.229 jobs: research fellow at Cologne; data curator at Santa Barbara 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: <20150821052651.23187.74098@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 229.

In line with the current discussions of the "digital humanities", and in the context of political critiques of big data urbanism as potentially undemocratic, this session aims at rethinking, discussing and developing architectural research based on large data sets. We encourage submissions of papers which address both historical examples of the use of large data sets for architectural production since the late 19th century and in a global perspective as well as contemporary scholarly uses of "big data" for analysis of historical and contemporary built environments. The large data sets may be numerical, visual/typological, textual, or otherwise defined by the proposed submission. We are especially looking for papers which analyze data by means of digital tools, techniques, and media, which may include graphic methods of knowledge production (rather than simply visualization). For more information, see: http://www.h-net.org/announce/show.cgi?ID=222048 The paper submission process is now open and the deadline is 30 September 2015. Thanks for considering! Yours, Paul Paul B.

If we are to criticise the IT community for "almost unanimously knee-jerk and face palm" reactions, failing to be self-reflective, or being humanistically uninformed, it is important to ensure that Humanities output directed at the IT community is respectful, fully-considered, temperately expressed, and IT literate.

Tom wrote: > . . . I'm trained in history, rather than English or media > studies.

I'm reminded of a workshop at Penn where Rob Kohler > asked a visiting English professor "“How would you know if an > argument of this kind had gone off the rails and fallen off the > cliff?”" His suggestion was that you couldn't, that the aesthetic > standards at work meant that almost any connection of conclusion > to evidence would be equally valid. I'd put it a little differently, by saying that a stricter code of what can be considered causality governs much (though not all) academic historiography. The world is full of interrelations that are quite important but slip through the grid of standard academic historiography, which often favors certain kinds of narrative causality, and in anglophone contexts especially, certain kinds of intentionality or human agency, and so on. So I'd agree with Tom that it's about different notions of evidence and causation. However, because academic historiographic it's so bound up with matching a certain set of professional codes, it's not actually about "history" in the very first instance, but rather about shared standards that we can work around to "write history." In this regard, I think that sometimes adjacent fields -- sociology, media studies, literary studies, philosophy, even literature -- can in certain instances get closer to the messy interrelations that "make history" or "are history," even though they are not the stuff of "historiography" in its disciplinary, academic iteration. To take an example relevant to the UNIX case: I did an oral history with an engineer who worked at Bell Labs from the 1950s through the 1970s, and he told me that working there was great, it was like a sleepover camp, they frequently worked all night and over the weekends. Then, he claimed, it all changed in the 1970s when they started "hiring womens and foreigners." In his account, the social life (I think Tom called it a "bromance" broke down. Not too long after, UNIX started becoming a big deal in the Labs. What does this mean? How do we map these interrelatedness of gender, race, and communication engineering that is suggested here? It's damn hard. Folks on this list such as Light, Medina, and Ensmenger have helped us start mapping out those relations historiographically. And yet, so much there will forever escape rigorous historiographic method. Does that mean those relations cannot be considered? Or that they cannot be considered empirically? Not at all, it seems to me. It is probably helpful that some folks from English or media studies can investigate these interrelations without worrying about the models of causality that govern mainstream disciplinary approaches to History. That's why so many of the major historiographic innovations don't originate in academic history, but instead migrate from other fields. In that regard, and like J. Abbate, I think the McPherson piece is a wonderful provocation, an occasion to think further, and think historiographically, about problems are difficult to think about with established historiographic methods.

From my perception of the disciplines what is lacking in the human sciences is a vigorous process of specificity for describing mistakes when using broad language like modularity & racism. There is little to no peer examples or reinforcement for publishing examples where one says I thought this was an example of modularity or racism then I discovered I was wrong & these are the reasons I was wrong. This then creates an academic culture that is stuck in narrow groves. From my view the "hard sciences" do a whole lot better at this. I am a semi retired human services administrator who was bored with academic culture that published "results" that were really more like "results minus the mistakes I don't want to talk about and my peers don't talk about either". An interesting character from this period of computer history was Charles West Churchman who got bored editing the journal Philosophy of Science & became a professor of business administration at UC Berkeley & dealt with training managers who were interacting with the business IT departments to ask for & use computer data. He was the editor of the journal Management Science for a few decades.

Submissions are due by 15 September 2015 and should be sent to hannah.williams@sjc.ox.ac.uk NB: An incorrect email address was printed in the conference call for papers. Please disregard that address and use the one above. If you have already submitted a proposal to a different address please re-submit to hannah.williams@sjc.ox.ac.uk. This session seeks to explore eighteenth-century approaches to mapping cities and current approaches to mapping eighteenth-century cities. Academically these two pursuits are often distinct, with inquires into historical maps as visual images or textual documents, and inquiries using modern mapping techniques to communicate aspects of urban life in the past. This session draws connections between these practices inviting scholars from a range of fields, including art historians, historians, historical geographers, and digital humanists, among others, to bridge the discursive gaps. Papers might consider the functions of eighteenth-century city maps – then and now; eighteenth-century cartographic aesthetics and technologies; the kinds of information eighteenth-century map- makers were trying to record or reveal; and the role these material objects can play in our own attempts, as historians, to explore eighteenth-century cities, to visualise historical data in flexible and discoverable ways, and to probe the social lives and urban experiences of eighteenth-century city inhabitants. In particular, proposals relating to recent or on-going research projects engaging with digital mapping techniques and methods are especially welcomed. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2015 10:37:03 -0400 From: natasha chuk Subject: CFP: Computer Culture (SWPACA Conference, February 10-13, 2016) Southwest Popular / American Culture Association 37th Annual Conference CFP: COMPUTER CULTURE AREA February 10-13, 2016 Hyatt Regency, Albuquerque, NM http://www.southwestpca.org/ *www.southwestpca.org http://www.southwestpca.org/ * *PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Sunday, November 1, 2015* Proposals for papers are now being accepted for the area of Computer Culture, as one of the many areas within the 37th annual conference of the Southwest Popular/American Culture Association (SWPACA). Please consider submitting. 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 that 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 have 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 how are they 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, YouTube, viral video, live feeds); ● theories focused on the relationship between computers and culture, uses of computers in particular contexts and the impacts thereof (such as computers and pedagogy, online dating, virtual currencies, commerce, marketing, entertainment, etc.); ● the relationship between computers and social forces (such as journalism, community engagement, social change, politics, social media alternatives, etc.); ● security/privacy/fraud/surveillance and computers (such as security breaches, spam, scams, hoaxes, terrorism, etc.); ● 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, data organization and archives, search predictions/autocomplete functions; ● cultural markers (such as social media trends, memes, internet fame); ● digital divides (such as internet inclusion/exclusion, user diversity, interface/software architectures, etc.); ● the general mediascape (such as issues of governance, mediation, ownership, the ‘public sphere’, crowdsourcing, etc.) 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/ 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/ 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.) For consideration, submit 100-200 word abstracts and proposals for panels by Sunday, November 1, 2015 to the conference’s electronic submission system, which can be found at: http://conference2016.southwestpca.org/ conference2016.southwestpca.org If you wish to propose forming your own panel, we would be glad to help facilitate your needs. This conference is a presentation opportunity.

I don't mean in the first instance normal "remedial" reading, but rather organized work -- inside traditional courses or outside -- that focuses on the habits, techniques, and predilections of what I might call the serious reader. Acquiring the skills that let you read Spenser or George Eliot or Max Weber, and in the process helping students *feel* that such activity is normal and desirable and comfortable.

He observes: It is perhaps worth noticing that as soon as a differne text is broughht into the discussion [...] it acts as an opening of the floodgates and admits a host of other related texts. This is in part testimony to certain continuing concerns in Beckett's work with almost become motifs, yet it also proses problems for the critic. If one were to follow every associative link across a large array of texts one would be closer to providing a concordance than an interpretation. The jump from interpretation to concordance has a peculiar resonance in the context of text analysis. Stewart continues: "As a critic, one feels that one either writes too little or too much, and never, simply, enough." I hope I have quoted just enough to give you a bit of the flavour of complexity.

In KRR a fundamental assumption is that an agent's knowledge is explicitly represented in a declarative form, suitable for processing by dedicated reasoning engines. This assumption, that much of what an agent deals with is knowledge-based, is common in many modern intelligent systems. Consequently, KRR has contributed to the theory and practice of various areas in AI, such as automated planning and natural language understanding, among others, as well as to fields beyond AI, including databases, software engineering, the semantic web, computational biology, and the development of software agents. The KR conference series is the leading forum for timely in-depth presentation of progress in the theory and principles underlying the representation and computational management of knowledge. We solicit papers presenting novel results on the principles of KRR that clearly contribute to the formal foundations of relevant problems or show the applicability of results to implemented or implementable systems. We welcome papers from other areas that show clear use of, or contributions to, the principles or practice of KRR. We also encourage "reports from the field" of applications, experiments, developments, and tests. Such papers should be explicitly identified as reports from the field by the authors, to ensure appropriate reviewing, and must include a section on evaluation. TOPICS ------ Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Argumentation * Belief change: revision and update, belief merging, etc. * Commonsense reasoning * Contextual reasoning * Description logics * Diagnosis, abduction, explanation * Inconsistency- and exception- tolerant reasoning, paraconsistent logics * KR and autonomous agents: multi-agent systems, cognitive robotics, agent models * KR and data management, data analytics * KR and decision making, game theory, social choice * KR and machine learning, inductive logic programming, knowledge discovery and acquisition * KR and natural language processing * KR and the Web, Semantic Web * Logic programming, answer set programming, constraint logic programming * Nonmonotonic logics, default logics, conditional logics * Ontology formalisms and models * Philosophical foundations of KR * Preferences: modeling and representation, preference-based reasoning * Reasoning about action and change: action languages, situation calculus, causality * Reasoning about knowledge and belief, dynamic epistemic logic, epistemic and doxastic logics * Reasoning systems and solvers, knowledge compilation * Spatial reasoning and temporal reasoning, qualitative reasoning * Uncertainty, representations of vagueness, many-valued and fuzzy logics SUBMISSION INFORMATION Submissions must be original, and should not have been previously published, accepted for publication, or currently be under review. Authors may not submit their paper elsewhere during the KR 2016 reviewing period. These considerations apply only to journals and conferences, and not to workshops and forums with a limited audience and without archival proceedings. In case of doubt, please contact the Program Chairs. Papers must be submitted in AAAI style and PDF format. The maximum length of a submission is 9 pages including abstract, figures, and appendices (if any) but excluding references. Reviewing will be non-blind. AAAI author instructions: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php AAAI author kit: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Templates/AuthorKit.zip The conference proceedings will be published by AAAI Press.

The Digital History Research Centre (Hertfordshire) and British Library Labs are trying to make crowdsourcing more fun by building video games. We're hosting a virtual 'Game Jam' from 4-11 September 2015 to engage with amateur video game makers everywhere to build a simple ‘casual game’ that turns the process of tagging the Library’s 1-million-image Flickr collection into a fun experience. To help you get started with an appropriate crowdsourcing task, we've put together a sample set of historic images - around 100 to 200 illustrations each of people, music, architecture, flora, fauna and even cycling - along with several hundred images that we know very little about. We thought this might help to validate the results of the crowdsourced content. The sample link is: http://bl-labs.github.io/arcadeinterface/sample_images.html An ideal game draws a random image from the set and through gameplay the player tells us something about the content of the image. Perhaps they choose from our limited set of tags (flora, fauna, mineral, human portrait, landscape, manmade - eg. machine, buildings, ship, abstract, artistic, music, map), or gamemakers can opt to be more creative. If we like what we see, we've set aside up to £500 (courtesy of the Andrew Mellon Foundation) to work with someone to polish their game and release it as part of our 'Mechanical Curator Arcade Game', a 1980s-style arcade console that we're planning to install this autumn. The Game Jam is open to anyone, but only those over the age of 18 are elligible to work for us. All completed games (whether they fit the crowdsourcing theme or not) will also be eligible to enter the British Library Labs Awards http://labs.bl.uk/British+Library+Labs+Awards+2015 , with a chance to win an additional £500 in prizes, as long as they use the British Library digital content http://labs.bl.uk/Digital+Collections such as the sounds and images from the open collections. If you're up for the challenge, you can find out more on our Game Jam event page http://itch.io/jam/britishlibrary (http://itch.io/jam/britishlibrary). We're looking forward to working with one of you, and get in touch at labs@bl.uk if you'd like to discuss ideas. We're here to listen and learn.

In-Reply-To: <20150825050504.CBE2E6AE8@digitalhumanities.org> Jim I agree that teaching reading in a neglected topic - we get 18 year olds in who have been spoon fed in textbooks, and generally academics hope they will magically learn how to read a wide range of materials. I have been doing this for years - putting texts on the projector and working through the structure of paragraphs and chapters. I started with OHP transparencies and markers, and now do it using iAnnotate on the iPad, showing how and why they should use different colours of highlight. I require them to extract mind maps from readings to show the visual structure of the argument, use mind maps or similar to map debates over arrange of readings, and develop those into essay plans - where an 'essay' might now be an essay, a website, a podcast or video so they can express themselves in many formats. Even though its only a year old, I could update this blog post but it gives an overview http://www.mikecosgrave.com/blog2006/?p=1096 I'm very interested in working with others on research in this field.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2015 04:12:23 +0200 From: Pietro Santachiara Subject: Call For Proposals: Digital Humanities 2016 - Digital Identities: the Past and the Future I. General Information The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) invites submission of abstracts for its annual conference, on any aspect of digital humanities. This includes, but is not limited to: - humanities research enabled through digital media, data mining, software studies, or information design and modeling - social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities; - computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities, and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; - quantitative stylistics and philology, including big data / textmining studies; - digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and related areas; - emerging technologies such as 3D printing, single-board computers, wearable devices, applied to humanities research; - creation and curation of humanities digital resources; and - digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula. For the 2016 conference, contributions that address social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities are welcome; but also contributions that address quantitative and statistics methods applied to texts and submissions on interdisciplinary work and new developments in all field of digital humanities. Presentations may include: - posters (abstract maximum 750 words); - short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words); - long papers (abstract maximum 1500 words); - multiple paper sessions, including panels (regular abstracts + approximately 500-word overview); and - pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal maximum 1500 words) The deadline for submitting poster, short paper, long paper, and multiple paper session proposals to the international Program Committee is midnight GMT, 1 November, 2015. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 7 February, 2016. Workshop proposals are due by midnight GMT, 14 February, 2016, with notice of acceptance by 7th March, 2016. For DH2016, workshops endorsed by a SIG can be proposed by midnight GMT, 15 December 2015, with notice of acceptance by 30th of January 2016. A link to the online abstract submission system will be available on the conference website: http://dh2016.adho.org/. Please check the website for updates. Previous Digital Humanities conference participants and reviewers should use their existing accounts rather than setting up new ones. If you have forgotten your user name or password, please contact Program Committee Chair, Manfred Thaller . To facilitate the production of the conference proceedings, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator. II. Types of Proposals Proposals may be of five types: (1) poster presentations; (2) short paper presentations; (3) long papers; (4) three-paper or full-panel sessions; and (5) proposals for pre-conference workshops and tutorials. Based on peer review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee may offer acceptance in a different category from the one initially proposed, and will not normally accept multiple submissions from the same author or group of authors. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. 1) Poster Presentations Poster proposals (500 to 750 words) may describe work on any relevant topic or offer project and software demonstrations. Posters and demonstrations are intended to be interactive, with the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. In addition to a dedicated session, when presenters will explain their work and answer questions, posters will be on display at various times during the conference. 2) Short Papers Short paper proposals (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for reporting on experiments or work in progress, or for describing newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. This category of presentation allows for up to five short papers in a single session, with the length held to a strict 10 minutes each in order to allow time for questions. 3) Long Papers Proposals for long papers (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for: substantial, completed, and previously unpublished research; reports on the development of significant new methodologies or digital resources; and/or rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, what their impact has been in formulating and addressing research questions, and should include critical assessment of their application in the humanities. Papers that concentrate on a particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include critical assessments of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the literature. 4) Multiple Paper Sessions These consist of one 90-minute panel of four to six speakers, or three long papers on a single theme. Panel organizers should submit an abstract of 750 to 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. Paper session organizers should submit a statement of approximately 500 words describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750 to 1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session. Papers that are submitted as part of a special session may not be submitted individually for consideration in another category. 5) Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of instructors. Workshop proposals may take many forms including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, but also proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen by organizers. Proposals should provide the following information: - title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); - full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; - description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and - any special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: - a brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: - intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one and a half days); - proposed budget (as digital humanities workshops are expected to be self-financing); and - if the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. Workshops endorsed by a SIG: Workshops endorsed by a SIG and focused on a topic related to the concerned SIG are required to follow the same instructions as other workshops, but proposers should also note that: - they have to be endorsed in writing by a SIG; - the deadline application is earlier (see above); - they should have at least 10 confirmed participants. III. Information about the Conference Venue and Theme DH2016 will take place in Kraków, Poland; this is only the second time (after Debrecen 1998) that our conference comes to Central/Eastern Europe. The region’s rich past and its recent rapid growth has inspired the conference theme, ‘Digital Identities: the Past and the Future’. The conference is hosted jointly by the Jagiellonian University and the Pedagogical University of Kraków. Their collaboration is a manifestation of the vivid digital humanities scene emerging in Poland’s major centre of learning and culture. IV. Bursaries for Early-Career and Emerging Scholars The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations will offer a limited number of bursaries for early-career scholars presenting at the conference. Application guidelines will appear on the ADHO website later this year: http://www.digitalhumanities.org V.

Ten years ago, at the first edition of DHCS, Greg Crane asked “What to do with a million books?”. And since then, dealing with issues related to Big Data has been a continuous pursuit of Digital Humanists. As such, for this tenth edition of the Chicago Colloquium, we would like to invite submissions on any research broadly related to Digital Humanities and Computer Science work applied to humanistic research, with a particular focus on visualization tools, theories, methodologies and workflows to make sense of Big Data. A submission for a paper or poster should include an abstract of ~750 words and a minimal bio. Please send it to clovisgladstone@uchicago.edu by September 11th. This year’s DHCS is sponsored by The University of Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Northwestern University, DePaul University, and the Illinois Institute of Technology. -- Clovis Gladstone, PhD Assistant Researcher/Developer Computation Institute The ARTFL Project University of Chicago --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 00:24:22 +0000 From: Jason Ensor Subject: DHRG Lecture : Diving into Data and Thinking Outside of the (Search) Box - ARTFL and PhiloLogic 4 : Thurs 10 Sept, PS-EA-2.13 University of Western Sydney Digital Humanities Research Group You are warmly invited to: “Diving into Data and Thinking Outside of the (Search) Box: ARTFL and PhiloLogic 4” Guest Speaker Professor Robert Morrissey Benjamin Franklin Professor of French Literature Committee on Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities University of Chicago To be held on Thursday 10 September 2015 3:00pm-4:00pm Parramatta South Campus Building EA, Room PS-EA.2.13 (LT02) This talk will give an overview of past, present, and future activities of the University of Chicago’s ARTFL Project (American and French Research into the Treasury of the French Language), one of North America’s oldest and best known centres for digital humanities research. In particular, ARTFL Director Robert Morrissey will describe some of the challenges, design decisions, and underlying research questions brought to light through the recent development of ARTFL’s primary search and retrieval software, PhiloLogic. By using ARTFL’s flagship Encyclopédie database as a primary example, the talk will concentrate on various attempts at dealing with the problem of the “tyranny of the search box” by allowing for a more intuitive and user-friendly interplay with text data and metadata. Professor Robert Morrissey is Benjamin Franklin Professor of French Literature, and the Committee on Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities at the University of Chicago. Situated at the confluence of literature and poetics on the one hand and ideology and politics on the other, his research concentrates on themes and cultural currents over the longue durée. His work is thus aimed at defining the parameters of these themes and exploring the tensions they play out on a range of levels: the descriptions of the intimate moments of rêverie; the political and cultural affirmations derived from the foundational “myth-history” of Charlemagne; the origins and development of a specifically French discourse on glory that serves a key legitimating function for both self and Nation.

We know what it is like to be conscious - to have awareness, a conscious 'mind', thoughts and feelings, but who, or what, are 'we' who know such things? How does the brain, a material object, produce the subjective nature of phenomenal experience - our mental 'inner life'? The modern science of consciousness began in the late 1980s with books on the topic by Nobel Laureates Francis Crick and Gerald Edelman, and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose. In 1994 the first 'Tucson conference', 'Toward a Science of Consciousness' was held at the University of Arizona in Tucson. It was an interdisciplinary gathering of neuroscientists, philosophers, psychologists, physicists, physicians, mathematicians, biologists, spiritualists and interested lay people from around the world. The conferences have continued, alternating between Tucson and elsewhere internationally, with TSC 2016 the 22nd annual meeting. Where do we stand now? Do we truly have a 'Science of Consciousness'? Clearly, we don't yet have the answers, but we are beginning to ask proper questions. Here are some of them. How do conscious brain activities differ from non-conscious brain activities? Is consciousness continuous, or a sequence of discrete events? How does consciousness relate to the flow of time? Does consciousness emerge from complex computation among brain neurons, e.g. characterized by integrated information, global workspace, predictive coding, 'higher order thought', scale-invariance, pre-frontal feedback, moving zones, coherent volleys and/or synchronous oscillations? How do anesthetics selectively erase consciousness? How do psychoactive drugs and meditation alter it? Can consciousness be mapped, downloaded and preserved in artificial media? Can neural correlates of consciousness also be causes of consciousness? Did consciousness evolve de novo as an adaptation of biological complexity? Or is something else at play? Philosophical dualists, panpsychists, spiritualists and proponents of quantum brain biology suggest that mental qualities or conscious precursors are somehow intrinsic features of the universe, that consciousness has, in some sense, been here all along. Can consciousness be identified with 'collapse of the quantum wavefunction'? Is it necessary for a physical 'theory of everything'? Can consciousness exist independently of biology? Did mental qualities precede life on earth, prompting its origin and evolution? The Science of Consciousness (TSC) 2016 Conference is jointly sponsored by the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona, and the Center for Consciousness Science at the University of Michigan, and will be held at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona April 25-30, 2016. Some 700 people are expected for a week-long program of plenary and concurrent talk sessions, posters, art/tech demos, pre-conference workshops, recreation and social events including a welcome reception, conference barbecue and square dance, the traditional Poetry Slam/Zombie Blues/talent show, and closing 'End-of-Consciousness' party. Themes and topics will include: -- Three Roads to Consciousness: 'GW', 'PC' and 'HOT' -- Moving From Correlates to Causes of Consciousness -- Machine Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence -- Origin and Evolution of Life and Consciousness -- Quantum Brain Biology -- Transcranial Brain Stimulation -- The 'Pribram Session' - Levels, Scale and Content of Consciousness -- Mechanisms of Anesthesia and Psychoactive Drugs -- Virtual Reality -- Consciousness and Collapse of the Wavefunction -- End-of-life Brain Activity Plenary speakers will include: -- Gyorgy Buzsaki, NYU Neuroscience Institute, New York -- Stanislas Dehaene, INSERM-CEA, Paris -- Stuart Kauffman, University of Calgary, Alberta -- Anil K.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2015 09:26:20 +0000 From: Ryan Cordell Subject: DHCommons Redesign and Journal Launching Soon! centerNet’s *DHCommons* journal is excited to be weeks from publishing its inaugural issue, which will launch alongside a major redesign of the DHCommons Project Directory! That first issue will include project statements and peer reviews of four mid-stage digital humanities projects from around the world, two "How Did They Make That?" features along the lines of those pioneered by Miriam Posner http://miriamposner.com/blog/how-did-they-make-that/, and an editorial introduction outlining both the joys and challenges of launching a journal devoted to interdisciplinary project reviews in multiple languages. We will announce the launch here and on the (by then newly beautiful) DHCommons site in early September, when semesters are beginning and scholars' minds are being re-devoted to all things academic. We are deeply grateful to all those who have made the journal possible, especially our editorial team (http://dhcenternet.org/2014/01/dhcommons-founding-international-editorial-board) for their hard work with project directors and reviewers; centerNet's Neil Fraistat, Kay Walter, and Jean Bauer for their sage counsel, and most of all our editorial assistants at Northeastern University, Jackie Gronau and Vicky Papa. We would also like to thank the Agile Humanities team for the splendid design work that we will unveil very soon. *DHCommons* attempts to meet a long-standing but growing need in the DH community, for robust peer review of in progress—that is, beyond planning stages‐but still developing projects. While building on precedents set by groups such as NINES (http://www.nines.org/), *DHCommons* seeks to offer feedback earlier in a project's life, when new directions and development are still possible for a project, but also to certify that project's early contributions to both the digital humanities and its disciplinary field. We also seek to review projects from centerNet's many regions and languages, whenever possible in the project directors' preferred language, so as to better reflect the scope and diversity of digital humanities work around the world. *DHCommons* complements the growing cadre of journals publishing digital humanities articles by providing a venue for full-project peer review. The "project statements" we will publish in each issue attempt to account for a project's contributions and struggles, and the reviews we will publish alongside them outline projects' strengths and areas for expansion or improvement. We hope these genres will provide scholars with new, valuable, and even practical access to the theories and methods of digital humanities work. We are delighted to share this first issue with you and would encourage those with mid-stage projects to submit them to us for review by contacting the editorial team at info@dhcommons.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, 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 DAA846B93; Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:25:33 +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 0D0246B73; Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:25:32 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BFC576B73; Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:25:28 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150902052528.BFC576B73@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:25:28 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.249 women selling computers?

WM -------- Forwarded Message -------- > Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] The Women of Datamation > Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 02:54:09 +0000 > From: Dag Spicer > To: members@lists.sigcis.org Dear SIGCIS friends, I’m beginning research for a long-form essay on how women were used to sell computers as protrayed in the industry magazine Datamation. I have completed my survey of images and am now seeking some guodance abdout possible theoretical perspectives to consider. Estelle Freedman at Stanford pointed me to The Feminine Mystique, which I am now reading. Of course, that was written many decades ago. I don’t really track the scholarship in this area so any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Working observation: In the late 1950s, women were portrayed as functional, "sensibly” dressed, clerical workers using the computer in a (contrived) but plausibly real-world application. Beginning in the mid-1960s and onwards into the mid 1970s, women were portrayed as highly sexualized, alluringly dressed “human parsley,” garnishing a computer product -- in one case literally draped over a mainframe CPU cabinet in a bikini — with no relevance or appeal to the usual benfits cited for computers, viz. efficiency, cost-control, &c. One of many questions I have: Does this long-term movement to sex rather than the prior economic or technical arguments reflect a change in the people making computer purchasing decisions? Was it an ephemeral trope in adverstising — “it was the 60s, man!” or something else? Sex sells… but who’s buying? How does the portrayal of women in the leading journal for the ccomputer industry over decades reflect buerys and sellers? Can we draw parallels with how other technologies have used women in their advertising? &c. Thanks for any thoughts… Dag -- Dag Spicer Senior Curator Computer History Museum Editorial Board, IEEE Annals of the History of Computing 1401 North Shoreline Boulevard Mountain View, CA 94043-1311 Tel: +1 650 810 1035 Fax: +1 650 810 1055 _______________________________________________ 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 398C66B99; Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:26:23 +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 CB1526B93; Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:26:22 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 850A66B93; Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:26:20 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150902052620.850A66B93@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2015 07:26:20 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.250 software carpentry 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: <20150902052623.21349.72476@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 250.

Simple probing led me to what seems the source: The Software Carpentry Foundation (software-carpentry.org). Their mission statement: > The Software Carpentry Foundation (SCF) is a non-profit membership > organization devoted to improving basic computing skills among > researchers in science, engineering, medicine, and other disciplines. > ...

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2015 07:45:29 +0000 From: Bryn Mawr Classical Review Subject: BMCR 2015.08.44 Mahoney on Klein, Interdisciplining Digital Humanities Many here will be interested in Anne Mahoney's review of Julie Thompson Klein, Interdisciplining Digital Humanities: Boundary Work in an Emerging Field. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2015, in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2015.08.44 (http://www.bmcreview.org/2015/08/20150844.html). Some here will be aware of Klein's work over several years on the idea of interdisciplinarity, which focuses on categorization of what this term refers to rather than how it is or may be done. In the book under review, Mahoney's quotations from it suggest that unfortunately Klein seems unaware of the long and important history of the field before the Web: > Klein identifies a "first wave of Digital Humanities in the late > 1990s and early 2000s" which "emphasized large-scale digitization > projects and technological infrastructure," basically quantitative in > orientation, and effectively replicating 500 years of print culture > in digital form, followed by a second wave which "has been > qualitative, interpretive, experiential, emotive, and generative in > nature," expanding beyond text to visual, spatial, and temporal forms > like film or music (p. 47). I've not yet seen the book and would be glad to learn that Klein has a reason for dismissing the more than three decades of work before the Web washed over us. Direct attention to the interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities is most welcome. Comments?

Rather than describing the history of DH herself, Klein gives an overview of histories of DH. This includes the story of Busa, as per Hockey's chapter in the Companion. Amongst other descriptions of DH's history, the one quoted by Mahoney is given per Davidson's chapter in Debates (see here: http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/debates/text/45) who links the history of DH to web 1.0 and web 2.0 histories. Klein links this to the DH Manifesto by Schnapp and Presner; her key takeaway is the role of interdisciplinarity in the described "second wave". Thus, Klein does not dismiss any part of DH's history, but follows the histories of the scholars she cites. Having read the book, I personally felt that the book did this a bit too much, summarizing what others have written rather than providing a new perspective, which can perhaps lead to confusions such as these as to what are Klein's words and what are other's, but that is a different point altogether.

That manifesto lives (inter alia) here: http://manifesto.humanities.ucla.edu/2009/05/29/the-digital-humanities-manifesto-20/ I have always wondered who the manifesto speaks for. 'Manifesto' is a pretty evocative(?) term. The manifesto suggests a true movement and the language I find strident. But I never got the impression that there's really hordes of humanists rallying behind that manifesto. In any case: is the Manifesto being uninformed, or Klein, or both? Apart from negating some decades of history before the 'first' wave, also 'wave' as a metaphor strikes me as rather Kuhnian? Has the digital humanities not more been 'emerging' during all these decades?

If you come from the German speaking world you may remember a famous Schiller quote from Wilhelm Tell: "Die Axt im Hause erspart den Zimmermann", or "if you have an axe in the house you don't need a carpenter," a "do it yourself" motto of sorts. And "do it yourself carpentry" is more plausible than "do it yourself engineering."

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 3 Sep 2015 06:54:49 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Klein from the Manifesto et al. My note about Julie Thompson Klein's Interdisciplining via Anne Mahoney's review was not intended to suggest that Klein alone has overlooked the history of digital humanities prior to the Web. It was rather to note an example of something that happens quite commonly: a good third of the history of digital humanities is simply overlooked out of ignorance. A good cure can be had, for example, by reading through the first 25 years of Computers and the Humanities, picking up the story also with Literary and Linguistic Computing from its later beginnings. Ironically the larger problem Klein's error illustrates is common enough in interdisciplinary research, as Gillian Beer noted in her "Speech on the Challenges of Interdisciplinarity" at Durham in 2006 (https://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/news/annual_research_dinner/); see also "Forging the missing link: Interdisciplinary stories", in Open Fields: Science in Cultural Encounter (1996). I quote Beer extensively in my chapter, "Becoming interdisciplinary", in the forthcoming New Companion to Digital Humanities, ed. Shreibman, Siemens and Unsworth. After many years of blundering into other disciplines (because I felt I had to) my conclusion is that in interdisciplinary research one must hope that colleagues in those disciplines who know better will kindly point out the error of one's ways. But those of us in digital humanities who care about the discipline may be excused for being somewhat passionate about the error in question because digital humanities is a weak child and cannot afford for such a large part of its history to be overlooked.

I think the Software Sustainability project's idea of "software carpentry" was quite influenced by the much earlier principle of "software craftsmanship". This dates back to at least Hunt & Thomas 1999 ("The Pragmatic Programmer." Addison Wesley) and McBreen's 2001 distillation of their work ("Software Craftsmanship: The New Imperative." Addison-Wesley). The idea being promoted was that of striving for high quality in software projects. McBreen, in particular, drew analogies with the craftsman's guilds and the apprentice/journeyman/master phases of skills development. And I suspect he was influenced by early UNIX hacker culture in which skill at the terminal was often portrayed as a kind of "wizardry", although that was much more about showing off your arcane knowledge than about building high quality systems for customers.

Organised by: Dr. Marco Büchler, Emily Franzini, Greta Franzini and Maria Moritz (eTRAP Early Career Research Group). The /Conference on translingual and transcultural digital humanities /[http://www.folklore.ee/dh/en/events/dh_conference_estonia_2015/]//is hosting a one-day Text Reuse Workshop for participants interested in learning more about semi-automatic detection of text reuse in digital textual corpora. The workshop builds on eTRAP'™s research activities, some of which deploy Marco Büchler's TRACER tool. TRACER is a suite of algorithms aimed at investigating text reuse in multifarious corpora, be those prose, poetry, in Arabic or Estonian. TRACER provides researchers with statistical information about the texts under investigation and its integrated reuse visualiser, the TRACER Debugger, displays occurrences of text reuse in a more readable format for further study. This workshop seeks to teach participants to independently understand, use and run the TRACER tool on their own data-sets. Eligibility & requirements If you're interested in exploring text reuse between two or multiple texts (in the same language) and would like to learn how to do it semi-automatically, this workshop is for you. In order to provide everyone with adequate (technical) assistance, the workshop can only accommodate 10 participants. To apply to the workshop, please send your CV and motivation letter to etrap-applications(at)gcdh(dot)de by September 2015.

Early this week we announced the launch of Going Digital: Creating Change in the Humanities, at roundtable with EU representatives in Brussels. Today we are pleased to announce the publication of Digital Humanities - Ireland's Opportunity. This report is the result of an invited workshop in October 2014, which brought together Ireland's leading scholars in the Digital Humanities. The workshop was convened by the Insight Centre for Data Analytics at Dublin City University and the Digital Repository of Ireland to coincide with a public lecture by Professor Jon Oberlander of Edinburgh University, who is one of the UK's leading Digital Humanities researchers. Both events were sponsored by the Irish Research Council and held at the Royal Irish Academy. The report analyses the current role of Digital Humanities in Irish research, and discusses the wealth of opportunities for Ireland in this field. It makes several recommendations to funders and research institutions, namely that there is a need for sustained infrastructures and services beyond project duration, value recognition for the field of DH, and policy to support the fundamental interdisciplinary nature of the Digital Humanities. The report is available on our Publications http://dri.ie/publications page, and it also attached to this email for your convenience.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 6 Sep 2015 10:21:43 +0100 From: Kanta Dihal Subject: Deadline extended: CfP Ada Lovelace Postgraduate Workshop Texts and contexts: the cultural legacies of Ada Lovelace "That brain of mine is more than merely mortal; as time will show." A workshop for graduate students and early career researchers Tuesday 8 December 2015 Mathematics Institute and St Anne's College, Oxford The mathematician Ada Lovelace (1815-1852), daughter of poet Lord Byron, is celebrated as a pioneer of computer science. The notes she added to her translation of Luigi Menabrea's paper on Charles Babbage's analytical engine (1843) are considered to contain a prototype computer program. During her short life, Lovelace not only contributed original ideas to the plans for this early computer; she also imagined wider possibilities for the engine, such as its application to music, and meditated on its limitations. Lovelace leaves a legacy not just as a computer scientist, but also as a muse for literary writers, a model to help us understand the role of women in science in the nineteenth century, and an inspiration for neo-Victorian and steampunk traditions. As part of the University of Oxford's celebrations to mark the 200th anniversary of Lovelace's birth, this one-day workshop will bring together graduates and early career researchers to discuss the varied cultural legacies of this extraordinary mathematician. The day will feature an expert panel including graphic novelist Sydney Padua and biographer Richard Holmes, as well as a keynote address from Professor Sharon Ruston, Chair in Romanticism in the Department of English and Creative Writing at Lancaster University. The day will conclude with a reception and buffet when there will be opportunities to meet with speakers from the Ada Lovelace 200 Symposium, which will also take place in the Mathematics Institute on the following two days (9-10 December). Researchers from all disciplines are invited to submit proposals for papers on the influences of Lovelace's work, on topics including, but not limited to, literature, history, mathematics, music, visual art, and computer science. This might include: * Lovelace's place in the study of the history of science; * Lovelace and women in science in the nineteenth century; * Early nineteenth-century scientific networks, including Lovelace's relationship with such individuals as Charles Babbage and Mary Somerville. We also encourage papers which consider other scientific networks from this period, beyond Lovelace's circle; * Lovelace and discussions about the role of the imagination in scientific practice in the nineteenth century; * Lovelace as translator and commentator; * Mathematics and music, and the musical possibilities Lovelace envisaged for Babbage's engine; * Lovelace's own textual legacies, such as her correspondence, childhood exercises and mathematical notes held in the Bodleian; * Lovelace's technological legacies, from her seminal work on Babbage's Analytical Engine to her impact on computer programming today; * Lovelace's role in the steampunk tradition, from Gibson and Sterling's The Difference Engine to Sydney Padua's The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage, and neo-Victorian fashion; * Efforts and activities to commemorate and memorialise Lovelace, from the recent Google Doodle to the annual Ada Lovelace Day. Proposals, not exceeding 250 words, for 15-minute papers should be submitted to adalovelaceworkshop@ell.ox.ac.uk by Midnight, Friday 18 September 2015. Those who are accepted to speak at this graduate workshop will also be offered free registration for the Ada Lovelace 200 Symposium taking place on the following two days. _______________________________________________ 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 458FC6B81; Mon, 7 Sep 2015 09:00:48 +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 7402B6A29; Mon, 7 Sep 2015 09:00:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1A5936A22; Mon, 7 Sep 2015 09:00:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150907070045.1A5936A22@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2015 09:00:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.266 pubs: Journal of Media Innovations 2.2 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: <20150907070048.4523.76863@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 266.

Ess" Subject: new issue of the Journal of Media Innovations Dear Humanists, I'm very pleased to announce the publication of the fourth issue of The Journal of Media Innovations (Volume 2, Issue 2): As you can see by the Table of Contents below, our articles range from Scandinavia (Bergen, Norway; Åland, Finland) to Flanders and Spain -- and take up diverse theoretical and empirical approaches to: 2nd screen uses, public service media, local newspapers, and innovative approaches to designing “hyper-local” journalism for novel forms of radio. At the same time, the last three papers share a normative interest in journalism and communication as critical to democratic societies, and, more broadly, continue the focus on innovation in journalism as a primary emphasis of The Journal of Media Innovations (see especially Vol. 1, issue 2). Kudos and many thanks to Anders Olof Larsson, Editorial Assistant, and to Anders Fagerjord, Layout Editor, who extended the offerings in this issue to include html versions of selected articles. We are equally grateful to our many reviewers, as well as to Arne Krumsvik, book review editor. On behalf of the Editorial Team, we trust you will find insightful and interesting reading in this issue, and we encourage you to forward this note to potentially interested readers and contributors to future issues. Many thanks in advance, - charles == Table of Contents: Media innovations: success and paradox.

University Academic Fellowships are prestigious positions designed to attract the best early career scholars from around the world. The positions are for five years in the first instance (at Grade 8, salary in range £38,511 to £45,954) progressing to a position as Associate Professor (Grade 9, salary between £47,328 to £54,841) on successful competion of the Fellowship. The positions are research-oriented, with teaching responsibilities built in towards the end of the Fellowship ahead of promotion to Associate Professor. Leeds has considerable strengths in both textual scholarship and the history of the book. The School of English is home to a dynamic group of textual scholars, engaged in work in all periods. Fellows will be able to work closely with the rich collections of the Brotherton Library. They will also be able to collaborate with the various digital humanities initiatives taking place in the Library and elsewhere around campus. Finally, Leeds is home to the Centre for the Comparative History of Print (Centre CHoP), a cross-faculty research group that brings together many of those interested in these areas, along with those in the related disciplines such as design and fine art. The Centre is currently engaged in a project to restore the University's historical print room, which contains a paper-making equipment, a bindery, four presses, and sets of type. I am happy to field any enquiries about the Print Culture Fellowship and any general questions. For queries about the Textual Studies and Digital Editing Fellowship, please contact Professor Martin Butler. Further details available at the links above.

As a reminder, this workshop was co-organized by myself, along with David Wrisley and our GeoHumanities SIG, co-chair, Karl Grossner. We built upon existing DH Commons review and submission guidelines, adding a "geo-twist" to them by discussing some of the specificities of GeoHumanities work. We are opening up the project to larger community consultation. In the spirit of the original poster, we have created a CommentPress (see here: http://geohum.djwrisley.com) and you are invited to drop by, check it out and add your comments. Comments gathered from the workshop and the poster session have been added already. The closing date for this consultation will be Oct 31. All those commenting will be acknowledged when we write up our results. We appreciate the support from the DH Commons Editorial Board for the use of their base document as our springboard. Please see here for further background information: http://www.geohumanities.org/content/towards-peer-review-geohumanities-projects We look forward to your input, Regards, Kathy Weimer co-Chair, GeoHumanities SIG Katherine Hart Weimer Head, Kelley Center for Government Information, Data and Geospatial Services Rice University Fondren Library - MS 225 P.O.

A considerable number of early works of historical charts and tables was described and some of them digitized in a project of Munich University: http://www.sfb-frueheneuzeit.uni-muenchen.de/projekte/zusatz/HistorischeTabellenwerke/Index.html Information on Friedrich Strass (or Straß) can be found here, unfortunately without a digital edition of his work: http://www.sfb-frueheneuzeit.uni-muenchen.de/projekte/zusatz/HistorischeTabellenwerke/Strass.html A copy of the first edition of 'Strom der Zeiten' (1803) is held by the Berlin Staatsbibliothek. You can obtain a high resolution image of the copper engraving measuring 70 X 132 cm, but it should be difficult to use, when downsized.

(It’s free!) #webarc15 While research in almost all disciplines increasingly relies on evidence gleaned from websites, social media platforms, and other online resources, we are still just figuring out how to preserve web materials for future use. As instructors and scholars embrace these primary sources and discover new and innovative ways to interact with web data, their efforts are aligned--knowingly or not--with those of developers and curators. Web Archives 2015 brings together developers, curators, and researchers to explore the following questions: -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? Hosted by the Bentley Historical Library and University of Michigan Library, this two-day multi-disciplinary conference will provide a forum to explore ideas, tools, and methodologies for creating and managing web archives and better understand the scholarly and research needs of those working in the field. A full schedule and travel information is available on the conference website http://www.lib.umich.edu/webarchivesconference .

Unique in Canada, this program focuses on the production, circulation, and reception of texts across cultures and historical periods. Carleton University is located in the capital of Canada, a city rich with literary and other cultural institutions. These include major libraries, museums, and art galleries, notably Library and Archives Canada (the national library of Canada), the National Gallery of Canada, and the special collections libraries at Carleton University, the University of Ottawa, and Saint Paul University. The conference will be located at the historic Lord Elgin Hotel, located downtown and within walking distance of the National Gallery, the National Arts Centre, and the Canadian Parliament. We invite proposals on any aspect of textual scholarship from a broad spectrum of disciplines, including literature, history, musicology, classical and biblical studies, theology, philosophy, art history, legal history, the history of science and technology, computer science, library and information science, lexicography, epigraphy, paleography, codicology, cinema studies, new media studies, game studies, theater and performance studies, linguistics, gender and sexuality studies, race and ethnicity studies, indigenous studies, and textual and literary theory. Our choice of keynote speakers reflects our conference theme of "Textual Ecologies." A text's "ecology" is made up of the many social environments that inspire and condition its creation, dissemination, and reception, and a focus on textual ecologies encourages an emphasis on the porousness of textual boundaries. We have invited speakers who are interested in thinking about texts as inextricable from these environments, as their work takes up - respectively -the historical development of emotional responses to literary texts, the ethnographic study of the book publishing industry in global and postcolonial contexts, and the history of reading in the late age of print and emergent digital culture. Submissions may take the following forms: 1. Papers. Papers (or papers with slideshow presentations) should be no more than 20 minutes in length, making a significant original contribution to scholarship. Papers that are primarily reports or demonstrations of tools or projects are discouraged. 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. Seminars. Seminars should propose a specific topic, issue, or text for intensive collective exploration. Accepted seminar proposals will be announced on the conference Web site (http://www.textual.org) at least two months prior to the conference and attendees will then be required to enroll themselves with the posted seminar leader(s). The seminar leader(s) will circulate readings and other preparatory materials in advance of the conference. No papers shall be read at the seminar session. Instead participants will engage with the circulated material in a discussion under the guidance of the seminar leader(s). All who enroll are expected to contribute to creating a mutually enriching experience. 4. Workshops. Workshops should propose a specific problem, tool, or skill set for which the workshop leader will provide expert guidance and instruction. Examples might be an introduction to forensic computing or paleography. Workshop proposals that are accepted will be announced on the conference Web site (http://www.textual.org http://www.textual.org/ ) and attendees will be required to enroll with the workshop leader(s). Proposals for all formats should include a title; abstract (250 words max.) of the proposed paper, panel, seminar, or workshop; and name, email address, and institutional affiliation for all participants. Format should be clearly indicated. Seminar and workshop proposals in particular should take care to articulate the imagined audience and any expectations of prior knowledge or preparation. ***All abstracts should indicate what if any technological support will be required.*** Inquiries and proposals should be submitted electronically to stsconference2016@gmail.com For additional contact information: http://carleton.ca/english/people/brouillette-sarah/ http://carleton.ca/english/people/decook-travis/ All participants in the STS 2016 conference must be members of STS.

Digital has become the primary vehicle for contact, conversation, and conveyance. What does this mean for the future of scholarly production? How can we develop open, flexible, and productive communication systems that serve the needs of many? As personal and professional activities become increasingly enmeshed with and supported by digital technology, practitioners have begun to explore different venues and modes for sharing knowledge, as well as different ways to work together toward common goals. We invite you to join this conversation during our annual INKE-hosted researcher and partner gathering in Whistler, BC. This gathering will provoke conversation and mobilize collaboration in and around digital communication, especially electronic scholarly production, as well as issues of (open) access, partnership, dissemination, alternative modes and models, and the shift from prototype to production. This action-oriented event is geared toward leaders and learners in various arenas, including academic and non-academic researchers, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, librarians, publishers, members of scholarly and professional associations and consortia, open source practitioners and developers, industry liaisons, and others. Taking the success of past years’ INKE-hosted gatherings in Whistler as our starting point, we hope to simultaneously formalize connections across fields and open up different ways of thinking about the pragmatics and possibilities of digital scholarship. Featured events include: • Lead presentations by Dr. Sally Wyatt (Maastricht U) and Dr. Dominique Bérubé (U Montreal) • Lightning talks, where authors present 4-minute versions of longer papers 
circulated prior to the gathering, followed by a brief discussion (papers may be 
conceptual, theoretical, application-oriented, and more) • Show & Tell session, where presenters do digital demonstrations of their projects and / or prototypes • Next Steps conversation, to articulate in a structured setting what we will do together in the future We invite proposals for lightning papers that address these and other issues pertinent to research in the area, or for relevant project demonstrations. Proposals should contain a title, an abstract (of approximately 250 words, plus list of works cited), and the names, affiliations, and website URLs of presenters. Fuller papers will be solicited after proposal acceptance for circulation in advance of the gathering. We are pleased to welcome proposals in all languages of our community; note that the chief working language of past gatherings has been English.

I had the feeling that the general consensus today is that the digital medium changes markedly not only the goals of the scholarly edition but also the ways we interact with it.

The digital is neither inherently a site of innovation > nor a necessarily useful innovation in itself. If "innovation" in the second sentence is meant to imply intention to do something new then I would agree but raise questions about research which ignores the underlying differences in media. But if it means that there is no difference full stop then I think the statement is quite dubious. Perhaps the problem is the use of "innovation" to mean something necessarily good or desirable -- a transcendental good, like much of the jargon used in popular (and, alas, professional) writing. But still the genuine problem of the influence of technologies on their inventors and users (a.k.a. technological determinism) lurks in the immediate background.

Aren't we more like the sound > engineer than the listener? I would agree with the second part (about the sound engineer and us), but not as much with the first part (about the listener) in the same way as I would agree with this version. The intermediate analogue recording and processing of music, between instrument and ear, can for most of us be ignored. Not so for the sound engineer. Aren't we more like the sound engineer than the listener? This doesn't mean that the medium (analogue or digital) doesn't matter to the sound engineer. It very much does. It makes all the difference. And, as a consequence, it comes to matter to listeners too. Digital has changed what a recording of music can be. This is a natural consequence of what the technology makes it possible to do. I'd say the same about photography, and about typography and book design. It's always been like this. The stone hammer with a wooden handle made possible kinds of hammering that were not possible with the earlier stone in the hand version: it changed hammering. The wooden handled stone hammer didn't determine this. The Humans who used them discovered the innovations, as we are still doing with hammers made of plastic handles and titanium alloy heads, (relatively) recently added to what is now a large family of kinds of hammers. So I would say that "The digital is neither inherently a site of innovation nor a necessarily useful innovation in itself." is manifestly mistaken, on both parts. Any technology is inherently a site of innovation, and must be a useful one for it to be a technology at all.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 13:11:11 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: precision I would like to be able to argue convincingly that our idea of "precision" has been profoundly affected by digital computing. But I haven't done the homework. If someone else has I'd be very grateful to know about it. My ambition to qualify precision has, however, been anticipated by Gaston Bachelard, in The Formation of the Scientific Mind: A Contribution to a Psychoanalysis of Objective Knowledge, trans. Mary McAllester Jones (Manchester: Clinamen Press, 2002), originally La Formation de l'Esprit Scientifique (Paris: Librairie Philosophique J. VRIN, 1938). Bachelard writes, > Excessive precision in the realm of quantity corresponds very > accurately to excessive vividness in the realm of quality. Numerical > precision often consists of a figures run riot just as the vivid and > picturesque is, in Baudelaire's phrase, 'detail run riot'. One of the > clearest signs of a non-scientific mind can be seen here, just when > such a mind has pretensions to scientific objectivity. Indeed, one of > the scientific mind's primary requirements is that the precision of a > measurement must constantly be referred to the sensitivity of the > method of measurement.... > > The measured object is little more than a particular degree of > approximation in the method of measurement.... Scientists believe in > the realism of measurement rather than in the reality of the > object.... > > [Many] do not reflect that when precision concerning a result goes > beyond that concerning experimental data, what that precision in fact > determines is nothingness. The decimals in a calculation do not > belong to the object. (pp. 212-14) Could we get close to our situation as students of the humanities in digital humanities by paraphrasing Bachelard thus: "The results from computing an object do not belong to that object"? Since (in George Box's words) "all models are wrong, but some are useful", can we not say that all results from computing are simultaneously precise and wrong? Comments?

Organised by: Dr. Marco Büchler, Emily Franzini, Greta Franzini and Maria Moritz (eTRAP Early Career Research Group). The /Conference on translingual and transcultural digital humanities /[http://www.folklore.ee/dh/en/events/dh_conference_estonia_2015/]//is hosting a one-day Text Reuse Workshop for participants interested in learning more about semi-automatic detection of text reuse in digital textual corpora. The workshop builds on eTRAP’s research activities, some of which deploy Marco Büchler’s TRACER tool. TRACER is a suite of algorithms aimed at investigating text reuse in multifarious corpora, be those prose, poetry, in Arabic or Estonian. TRACER provides researchers with statistical information about the texts under investigation and its integrated reuse visualiser, the TRACER Debugger, displays occurrences of text reuse in a more readable format for further study. This workshop seeks to teach participants to independently understand, use and run the TRACER tool on their own data-sets. Eligibility & requirements If you're interested in exploring text reuse between two or multiple texts (in the same language) and would like to learn how to do it semi-automatically, this workshop is for you. In order to provide everyone with adequate (technical) assistance, the workshop can only accommodate 10 participants. To apply to the workshop, please send your CV and motivation letter to etrap-applications(at)gcdh(dot)de by September 2015.

Then send us an abstract! It's all pretty simple really. All you need to do is read the blurbs below, decide which session suits you best, and then send an abstract of a couple of hundred words or so (we won't count them, but try not to overdo it) to us at digipal@kcl.ac.uk by ish 15th September 2015. And if you fill in a Participant Information Form, and send that too, we'd be very grateful. You can find the PIF here: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#PIF And if for some curious reason we don't accept your abstract, never fear: any surplus proposals will be sent to the Congress committee for consideration for general sessions. Looking forward to reading your abstracts, Stewart Brookes "Digital Methods 1: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Palaeography" Taking palaeography and codicology as its focus, this session will considerhow computer-assisted techniques might advance our understanding of the handwriting of the scribes who were producing charters, homilies, farming memoranda and other aspects of the written culture of medieval Britain. Utilising computer-based resources for the study of medieval handwriting, the papers will investigate the influence of scriptoria and the politics of writing style; the significance of scribal choices such as cursive or set; and whether text type can be said to determine the style of writing. "Digital Methods 2: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Manuscript Studies" The large number of initiatives to digitise medieval manuscripts mean that we now have unprecedented access to medieval texts. In many ways, this explosion of knowledge can be compared to the early years of the printing press. But how might we best utilise this growing body of material? This session will explore the potential for the computer-assisted study of medieval manuscripts; discuss the intersection of manuscript studies and Digital Humanities; and share methodologies. The topics under discussion will include the encoding and transcription of medieval texts, the practical and theoretical consequences of the use of digital surrogates and the visualisation of manuscript evidence and data. — Dr Stewart J Brookes Department of Digital Humanities King's College London --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Sep 2015 04:38:02 +0300 From: Subject: 8th QQML2016, Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries International Conference (24-27 May 2016, Senate House, University of London, UK) In-Reply-To: <55F2E519.1070101@gcdh.de> Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is our pleasure to invite you in London (24-27 May 2016, Senate House, University of London, UK) for the 8th Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries International Conference (QQML2016, http://www.isast.org http://www.isast.org/ ) which is organized under the umbrella of ISAST (International Society for the Advancement of Science and Technology).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 19:35:30 +0200 From: Vincenzo De Risi Subject: Leibniz Summer School. Dear friends and colleagues, As you may know, the next year is the tercentenary of Leibniz’s death; Leibniz’s home towns, Leipzig and Hannover, would like to commemorate him by organizing a Summer School open to Master students, PhD students and young post-docs working on Leibniz or related topics. The School will be held in Leipzig and Hannover from July 7th to July 16th, 2016 (the big 10th International Leibniz-Konress will be held in Hannover in the following week), and will consist in lectures by Leibniz scholars, as well as discussions on the students’ work. The Leipzig-Hannover organization will provide lodging, food, and some limited allowance to cover the travel expenses. We hope to be able to host about 30 students of various ages and backgrounds. More informations on the School, as well as an application form, may be found here: https://www.leibniz2016.de/summerschool.html The deadline for applications is the end of the year. Please feel free to circulate the advertisement among students and colleagues that may be interested in it. Thank you very much, and all the best, Vincenzo ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Vincenzo De Risi Research Director Max Planck Institute for the History of Science Boltzmannstraße 22 14195 Berlin, Germany http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/en/staff/members/vderisi http://www.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/en/staff/members/vderisi _______________________________________________ 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 B38496C8B; Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:21:50 +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 C4A026C87; Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:21:49 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 42A846BD8; Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:21:47 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150913072147.42A846BD8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2015 09:21:47 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.285 precision 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: <20150913072150.13543.95194@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 285.

Two cents from a mathematically inclined computational linguist: In a very real (and precise) sense, I say no: the results from computing an object are at an abstract level indistinguishable from the object itself. I'm taking a "computable object" here to mean a fully specified algorithm (e.g. binary encoded program + data for a universal Turing machine), since I'm not sure what else it could refer to (in any well-defined (precise) way). If we broaden the definition to include any abstract string of symbols (results) as an "object", then it turns out that the first interpretation (program+data) falls out anyways as the Kolmogorov-Chaitin complexity of that string (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity ): the smallest (program+data) pair which generates the string in question. So we can definitely say that the computable object "belongs to" its results (the string), and the question becomes whether or not "belonging to" in this sense is an asymmetric relation -- I think the "belonging" works both ways here; especially since the Kolmogorov-Chatin (program+data) pair by definition cannot be compressed further (if it could, we could find a smaller (program'+data') pair to generate the first one and that would be the smallest generator). Having said that, I should probably mention that I (like Chaitin himself) very much do "believe in ... the reality of the [abstract] object", so hard-core empiricists will likely want to take my views with a grain or two of salt. marmosets,Bryan On Sat, Sep 12, 2015 at 8:20 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 281. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2015 13:11:11 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: precision > > > I would like to be able to argue convincingly that our idea of > "precision" has been profoundly affected by digital computing.

In-Reply-To: <20150912062036.A7D1C6C77@digitalhumanities.org> Bachelard's basic point was anticipated by Aristotle, who writes in the Nicomachean Ethics (1.3)that "it is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits; it is evidently equally foolish to accept probable reasoning from a mathematician and to demand from a rhetorician scientific proofs." When you see four digits or more after the dot, in nine out of ten cases you might as well stop after the first and round it off. Much of the time those digits after the dot have more to do with rhetoric than math. _______________________________________________ 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 CFA2D6CAE; Mon, 14 Sep 2015 10:54:11 +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 07B116CA6; Mon, 14 Sep 2015 10:54:11 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C68316CA8; Mon, 14 Sep 2015 10:54:08 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150914085408.C68316CA8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2015 10:54:08 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.286 precision 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: <20150914085411.13744.87188@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 286. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 13 Sep 2015 08:40:17 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: precision Dear Bryan, Martin, Humanist, I see that in my question about precision I was regrettably imprecise, and what is worse, I was imprecise in a way I think unaffected by Turing. When I said "computing an object" I meant computing the interpreter's (or interpreting community's conception of an object. So I agree: if "object" means what a computer most immediately and literally computes, then indeed > the results from computing an object are at an abstract level > indistinguishable from the object itself. What I meant to argue is Bachelard's point translated into digital from decimal reckoning. On first approximation I would say that between Bryan's abstraction and that physical object from which the abstraction is abstracted is an absolute gulf -- until (shifting from passive to active voice) he or she who abstracts steps in and realizes it. The tricky bit is remembering we're in the picture always, or as Minsky said, modelling is always ternary: object, model and modeller. Martin's invoking of Aristotle is apt. Again, > it is the mark of an educated man to look for precision in each class > of things just so far as the nature of the subject admits; it is > evidently equally foolish to accept probable reasoning from a > mathematician and to demand from a rhetorician scientific proofs > (Nicomachean Ethics 1.3) My argument, which I would make with greater weight if I had done that homework, would be that thanks to Turing we have come to think of precision largely in the mathematician's sense, and because we can compute representations of the objects we care for, now tend to think of the results we get as precise, ourselves as subject to "human error". That phrase predates digital computing, by the way, as the BYU Corpus of Historical American English shows with some early 19C instances. It would be good to know when "human error" shifts from meaning that which happened as a result of Original Sin to that which happens when humans get entangled with competent automata or even semi- automata.

First, is that translation an accurate interpretation of what is meant by the three terms? And does it describe a process of putting historical texts online?

This was the headline of a speech given at the Hannover exhibition in April 2015 by Günther Oettinger, EU-Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society. While businesses and industries have already made major advances in digital ecosystems, the digital transformation of texts stretching over a period of more than two millennia is far from complete. On the one hand, mass digitisation leads to an „information overload“ of digitally available data; on the other, the “information poverty” embodied by the loss of books and the fragmentary state of ancient texts form an incomplete and biased view of our past. In a digital ecosystem, this coexistence of data overload and poverty adds considerable complexity to scholarly research. With this special issue on Computer-Aided Processing of Intertextuality in Ancient Languages, the HiSoMA lab in Lyon, France, and the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities Germany, aim to create a collection of papers that discuss the state-of-the-art on intertextuality, linguistic preprocessing and the preservation of scholarly research results specifically applied to corpora in ancient languages and for which few online resources exist (Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Ethiopic, etc.). Relevant topics include: * Methods for the detection of intertexts and text reuse, manual (e.g. crowd-sourcing) or automatic (e.g. algorithms); * Infrastructure for the preservation of digital texts and quotations between different text passages; * Linguistic preprocessing and data normalisation, such as lemmatisation of historical languages, root stemming, normalisation of variants, etc.; * Visualisation of intertextuality and text reuse; * Creation of, and research on, stemmata. The special issue will be published by the Journal on Data Mining and Digital Humanities (http://jdmdh.episciences.org/), an online open access journal that will release the issue shortly after its submission in order to elicit feedback from readers while concurrently supervising the standard peer review process. Interested authors are asked to: 1) send a title, an author list and a one page (or shorter) abstract specifying the type of contribution (full paper or project presentation) to Laurence Mellerin: laurence.mellerin(at)mom(dot)fr AND Marco Büchler: mbuechler(at)gcdh(dot)de by October 31st. 2) send a paper (long: up to 40 pages OR short: 2 to 4 pages illustrating the scope and research of the project), following the guidelines of JDMDH, which can be found at http://jdmdh.episciences.org/page/submissions by January 31st 2016.

This is why as the discipline that continually seeks "literature plus ______” (another language, a new theory, a different medium), comparative literature shines brightest when it engages methodologies and objects from both within and beyond the traditional limits of literary studies. A new century brought novel forms of writing and criticism, though many practitioners of literary study still tread gingerly around status updates and comments, TEI and corpuses. Recent critical techniques for textual interpretation may reveal as illusory close reading's long monopoly on research and pedagogy. New textual cultures in everyday networked media continue to trouble the discipline's notions of the literary. Taken together, such shifts in methodology and object can reshape and rejuvenate literary studies. This seminar will ask what is new and what has stayed the same in comparative literature. Papers will map emergent and resilient methodologies, survey the current boundaries of the field, and inventory the professional practices that legitimize the discipline. As scholars apply new tools to new texts in new ways, what continues to hold comparative literature together and distinguish it from neighboring fields? _______________________________________________ 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 D107B6C9F; Wed, 16 Sep 2015 10:02:40 +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 284926C84; Wed, 16 Sep 2015 10:02:40 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D1DF16C80; Wed, 16 Sep 2015 10:02:36 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150916080236.D1DF16C80@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 10:02:36 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.292 jobs: research associates at Sheffield 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: <20150916080240.22258.82362@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 292.

A tutorial explaining how it works is available on the txm-users wiki: * XML import modules have been enriched with new settings, to better control the pagination of Editions (by number of words per page or by page delimitation by tags), the delimitation of concordance contexts (structures not to cross other than text); Editions construction becomes optional for easy adjustment of imports of very large corpora * Complete list of improvements and fixes ** What is TXM? ** TXM is a free and open-source (GPL v3) textual corpora analysis platform. It combines five key components: a) the ability to import and analyze written texts, record transcripts and multilingual aligned corpora. Written texts corpora can be of different levels of complexity from basic raw text from the clipboard to XML representations following the recommendations of the TEI consortium, through sources in any XML format. Record transcripts corpora encode speech turns and can be synchronized with the audio or video sources. Multilingual aligned corpora are in the TMX translation memory format. b) the ability to automatically annotate texts during import, for example with the TreeTagger lemmatizer c) the many search and extraction features of the CQP full text search engine d) the possibility to use statistical packages from the R environment e) implementation for end users in the form of a GUI application that provides tools for document analysis (frequency lists, concordances...) and for quantitative analysis (correspondence analysis, hierarchical clustering, cooccurrence analysis...) for Windows, Mac or Linux and as a web portal accessed by a simple browser. It is developed by a network of academic institutions (ENS de Lyon and University of Franche-Comté). It is used by dozens of research laboratories from many Humanities related disciplines: Linguistics, Literature-Language-Civilization, Geography, Information Sciences and Communication, Education Sciences, History, Sociology, Computer Science, Statistics, Philosophy, Psychology, Political Science, Town planning-Transports, Economics, Management Sciences, Biological Sciences, Anthropology, Science of art... ** Is TXM manual available in English? ** Unfortunately the TXM manual has still not been translated into English. If you are a student or a translator interested to do this work, we'd love to fund you for this. Please contact us at 'textometrie AT ens-lyon.fr' for further information.

Indeed, we have been sharing ideas and uncertainties, discussing approaches and alternatives, it is therefore with particular pleasure that, on behalf of the Principal Investigator Prof. Maurizio Ghelardi and the team, we announce today the official opening of http://burckhardtsource.org. The whole corpus of letters to Jacob Burckhardt consists of about 1100 documents: by now are visible 600 missives. Yet, on the 28th September the map for geographical research and an additional assortment of letters will be released, while on the 12th October the advanced semantic research and further missives will be uploaded. The remaining letters will be published once every two weeks. The Digital Library offers two versions for each letter: the default visualisation is the «Semantic edition». A special section is dedicated to «Metadata», where an extensive number of data establishes the letters context. The so-called «Collections» suggest a thematic navigation through the Digital Library. Still, an easy access to the letters is also handy through the metadata: Year, Sender, Compilation and Receving Place. The DL hosts the complete documentation of EUROCORR ERC (see «Help» on the Footer): it is conceived to make criteria, methodologies and tools adopted by the research team transparent and clear. Direct access to the reports is also possible through http://wiki.burckhardtsource.org/. The platform is planned to be user friendly and intuitive, any feedback and suggestion for a general improvement is therefore most welcome.

The network includes thirteen thousand early modern persons living between 1500 and 1700 whose social ties we’ve inferred statistically by data mining entries from the *Oxford Dictionary of National Biography*. But the inferred network is just a start. *Six Degrees* is built to be an evolving record of scholarly knowledge about how people were connected to each other in early modern Britain. To that end, scholars and students can easily contribute their local expertise to the global network. We know that many of you already have detailed knowledge of particular individuals’ friends, teachers, lovers, and enemies, though until now, there have been few venues to communicate such knowledge. With your help, we aim to build an expert-driven social map of early modern Britain, gathering and incorporating early modern relations for the benefit of scholars, students, and the public at large. We’ve been working on the site for the past few years with a host of terrific programmers and statisticians, and, for the last year, with historian Jessica Otis, a post-doctoral fellow supported by the Council for Library and Information Resources and the Digital Libraries Foundation. Carnegie Mellon Digital Humanities Specialist Scott Weingart also recently joined the team. The full list of contributors would be incredibly long, but we certainly couldn’t have made the site what it is without key contributions from Lawrence Wang, Mike Finegold, Cosma Shalizi, Katarina Shaw, Raja Sooriamurthi, Chanamon Ratanalert, Rebecca Smith, Sama Kanbour, Angela Qiu, Ivy Chung, Miko Bautista, Amiti Uttarwar, TJ Olojede, Alexandra George, Emmett Eldred, Sarah Hodgson, Jordon Cox, Ruth Ahnert, and Sebastian Ahnert. Though *Six Degrees* is still under development, it is fully functional. Not only can you navigate the early modern social network by clicking and double-clicking your way through the site, you can also *sign in here http://sixdegreesoffrancisbacon.com/users/new * to contribute your own knowledge to the network. We know that finding one’s way in a new website can be challenging at first, so we’ve posted a couple *tutorials* here and below: http://sixdegreesoffrancisbacon.com/tutorial We’re also hoping that professors will introduce the site to their students and potentially guide them through the process of curating the relations of a person or two. Jessica Otis has developed some *teaching materials* on how to integrate SDFB into the classroom, which are available here: http://sixdegreesoffrancisbacon.com/guide If you have any questions about the site or any *feedback* to share, don’t hesitate to contact us about it directly, whether by email to one of us or via this form: http://goo.gl/forms/J4u7kgI6h4. Thanks so much for your time. We hope you find Six Degrees of Francis Bacon as useful and exciting as we do.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2015 10:52:32 +0200 From: "Dr. Hartmut Krech" Subject: Re: [Humanist] 29.286 precision In-Reply-To: <55F923E9.10207@mccarty.org.uk> Dear Willard and fellow digital humanists, I was about to answer your first question about computational precision (from Latin 'praecidere,' "to cut through," "to slice," and Greek akribes, "to the point") by quoting another passage from Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, when Martin managed to overtake me. I'm not propagating here the scholastic "argument by authorities," but I feel that both Martin and myself view the Aristotelian text as a parallel to Bachelard's statement that provoked your question first of all. It is important to keep in mind that Aristotle (and likewise Bachelard) makes reference to human activity and that computation will always remain something that is or will follow from human activity such as the practice of navigation (hexis kubernetikes). I quote from H. Rackham's 1934 translation: "But let it be granted to begin with that the whole theory of conduct is bound to be an outline only and not an exact system, in accordance with the rule we laid down at the beginning, that philosophical theories must only be required to correspond to their subject matter; and matters of conduct and expediency have nothing fixed or invariable about them, any more than have matters of health. And if this is true of the general theory of ethics, still less is exact precision possible in dealing with particular cases of conduct; for these come under no science or professional tradition, but the agents themselves have to consider what is suited to the circumstances on each occasion, just as is the case with the art of medicine or of navigation [hexis kubernetikes]. But although the discussion now proceeding is thus necessarily inexact, we must do our best to help it out." (NE 1104a) It is not irrelevant what we can and perhaps still need to learn from this -- there is always the danger of stumbling into digital inhumanities, if we forget the human factor (and the possibility of "human error") which is always involved in computing, by mind or by machine. For my part, I'm quite happy that the "Original Sin" no longer counts among "human errors," at least in some parts of this world. When and where did this change of sense in the application of the idiom "human error" take place? One clue among many others may be seen in Wilhelm Wundt's principle of the "Heterogonie der Zwecke" (purpose shift, 1917). But that's another matter.

How might such an integration facilitate the offering of literature courses online? Although the phenomenon of literature courses delivered entirely or partially with the assistance of web-based technologies has made significant inroads into North American curricula and generated lively debates across social and traditional media, the prospects for teaching literature online still remain uncertain. With the rise in popularity of summer institutes such as DHSI at the University of Victoria, and the recent spread of localized DH institute offerings at Guelph and Dalhousie, the moment seems to have arrived when Canadian institutions might consider how the rise of the digital humanities could contribute to transitioning literature departments toward adopting year-round DH course offerings at the undergraduate and graduate level. How might techniques and technologies of the digital humanities be coupled with literature courses offered online? How productive is the relationship between the practices of “distant reading” and the pedagogy of distance technologies? What kinds of institutional resources are necessary for distance course design and support? What kinds of open-source tools and platforms might be enlisted in such courses? How do we measure the long-term impact of such offerings on enrollments? How do we persuade colleagues and administrators to accept the potential for the move toward dedicated distance course offerings? Presenters are invited to speak to individual experiences in offering literature courses online, about efforts to collaborate with colleagues and administrators to propose such courses, about revising departmental curricula to accommodate both distance and traditional classroom-based courses, about local capacities to support distance technologies, about inter-departmental, -faculty, and -university collaborations, about blended or hybrid approaches to digital pedagogy, about best practices and emerging technologies, about web-based open-access learning, about for-credit and non-credit MOOCs, or about the history of distance technologies and literary pedagogy. Proposals for papers (20 min.) will be accepted until December 1st, 2015 and must be submitted athttps://www.conftool.net/csdh-schn-2016/. Abstracts should be between 200 and 400 words and should clearly indicate the paper’s thesis, methodology and conclusions. Queries about submissions for this joint session should be directed to Dean Irvine (dean.irvine@dal.ca). _______________________________________________ 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 41E6F6CD0; Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:40:44 +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 853306CC7; Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:40:43 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4280F6CC7; Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:40:41 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150917064041.4280F6CC7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:40:41 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.299 on radio: Making Conversations 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: <20150917064043.16243.99386@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 299.

This was the headline of a speech given at the Hannover exhibition in April 2015 by Günther Oettinger, EU-Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society. While businesses and industries have already made major advances in digital ecosystems, the digital transformation of texts stretching over a period of more than two millennia is far from complete. On the one hand, mass digitisation leads to an "information overload" of digitally available data; on the other, the "information poverty" embodied by the loss of books and the fragmentary state of ancient texts form an incomplete and biased view of our past. In a digital ecosystem, this coexistence of data overload and poverty adds considerable complexity to scholarly research. With this special issue on /Computer-Aided Processing of Intertextuality in Ancient Languages/, the /HiSoMA/ lab in Lyon, France, and the /Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities/ Germany, aim to create a collection of papers that discuss the state-of-the-art on intertextuality, linguistic preprocessing and the preservation of scholarly research results specifically applied to corpora in ancient languages and for which few online resources exist (Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Ethiopic, etc.). Relevant topics include: Methods for the detection of intertexts and text reuse, manual (e.g. crowd-sourcing) or automatic (e.g. algorithms); Infrastructure for the preservation of digital texts and quotations between different text passages; Linguistic preprocessing and data normalisation, such as lemmatisation of historical languages, root stemming, normalisation of variants, etc.; Visualisation of intertextuality and text reuse; Creation of, and research on, stemmata. The special issue will be published by the /Journal on Data Mining and Digital Humanities/ (http://jdmdh.episciences.org/), an onlineopen access journal that will release the issue shortly after its submission in order to elicit feedback from readers while concurrently supervising the standard peer review process. Interested authors are asked to: 1) send a title, an author list and a one page (or shorter) abstract specifying the type of contribution (full paper or project presentation) to /Laurence Mellerin/: laurence.mellerin(at)mom(dot)fr AND /Marco Büchler/: mbuechler(at)gcdh(dot)de by October 31st. 2) send a paper (long: up to 40 pages OR short: 2 to 4 pages illustrating the scope and research of the project), following the guidelines of JDMDH, which can be found at http://jdmdh.episciences.org/page/submissions by January 31st 2016.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 11:04:29 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 29.286 precision In-Reply-To: <20150914085408.C68316CA8@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard and fellow Digital Humanists, Minsky (and others who've made the same observation) needs extending, in my experience. Modelling involves the object/thing modelled, the model, the modeller, and the user of the model. Even when the modeller and model user are the same person or people, shifts happen in how the model is viewed, treated, understood, and how its outputs are thought about and taken. After the (typically) hard work of building the model, using it to do what you set out to do, results in modelling assumptions being forgotten, or being given less importance, and other needed approximations and compromises not being known about or appreciated, or fading from mind. It's as if the model becomes the thing modelled, and takes over from it. When there are multiple users of the model, the situation becomes yet more messy and difficult: contradictory claims about what the model "tells us" begin to occur. Which, without intimate knowledge of how the model was built, verified, and validated, are often difficult to resolve. This I think happens for all kinds of modelling, irrespective of the stuff used to build the model: wood, clay, plastic, steel, words, mathematics, computation. If our model is flimsy--made of "string and wax"--we may not develop much confidence in it, as the builder or as a user. Computation does not easily give this kind of impression. You're right, the "precision of the computer" does tend to engender unwarranted confidence in the strength, correctness, and precision of our models, particular for users who may know little about how it was built, and how things like rounding errors have been dealt with, and what weaknesses and limitations the verification and validation steps showed up. Turing is not, I think, to be thanked for this. The "precision of the machine" came well before we had (digital) computing machines. Seeing machines repeat the same actions with little, even no variation in the outcome contrasts with our "hand made" efforts. Machines seem to produce their precise performance effortlessly. We, on the other hand, find sustained precision in repeated performance effortful and tiring, and often needing much training and constant practice. It's a kind of "I couldn't do that, so this machine must be better than me" response. (Something similar drives much of the "scary AI" claims and stories we've been seeing recently, I think.) And, I suspect it has, in part, shifted what we take "human error" to be: we can't do it as precisely as the machine, not every time, at least, so we are the ones in error. This too easily gained over confidence in computational models, together with this tendency to think "machines do it right (because they are precise), humans do it wrong (because they are not as precise)" is dangerous and destroys scholarship and research. I'm with Hartmut. We do still need to learn from this. There is a danger of stumbling into digital inhumanities here. Staying clear of this needs an appreciation of the distinct but interacting notions of accuracy and precision. How accuracy and precision happen and interact in machines is quite different from how they happen and interact in the "made by hand." This leads to different qualities of outcomes. But this message is already too long to push on with this here. Another time, perhaps?

My recent work on the history of simulation has led me to John Wall's Virtual Paul's Cross project (http://vpcp.chass.ncsu.edu) and so to the question of how we regard knowledge obtained from simulation. Wall has written suggestively on this topic. Who else has probed the value for the humanities of inferences made on the basis of simulated events, such as Donne's Gunpowder Plot sermon in 1622, or simulated cultural artefacts, such as the ancient city of Uruk? There's more here than the question of how to document and make evident component bits of a VR archaeological reconstruction. The question I'm wondering about is what we do with the knowledge (if it is that) gained from simulations and how that provisional knowledge can feed back into the simulation. How do we cope with the uncertainty of what we learn from simulation that cannot be known in any other way? How do we, who study forms of the imagination, cope with what we ourselves imagine by means of computing? I'd be very grateful for any pointers to discussions of such matters.

(P. M. Harman, ed., The Scientific Letters and Papers of James Clerk Maxwell. Vol. I (1846-1862). Cambridge University Press, 2009) In more familiar terms we might ask, how is it that our formal methods yield meaningful results when applied across data derived from diverse artefacts? Or, in the manner of George Boole, we might ask, are we detecting a real relationship between "laws of thought" governing the creative work in making these artefacts and our more obviously law-like algorithms? We can of course just shrug and reply that the methods are convenient and results useful, so who cares? But there are fascinating questions here to be asked. Comments?

The theme for our 2016 conference is Disruptive Innovation. The research library in the 21st century is undergoing a significant transformation. Continuing to sit squarely at the heart of academic life, it is experiencing disruptive innovation at a speed never before experienced. Its user communities are growing and changing; its service portfolio is expanding; its technologies are proliferating; and its skills mix is diversifying year by year. The current challenges for the research library are immense. As the growing knowledge economy is shifting priorities and policies, we want to explore howdisruptive innovation can help us move beyond traditional models and legacy thinking in order to drive forward change and progress. This is required in order to develop new opportunities for libraries through the reinvention and rethinking of strategies, policies, organisational structures, cultures, systems and work processes. We invite abstracts of 300 words for presentations (20 minutes) or workshops (1.5hr) not limited to the following themes: · The disrupted academy: new theories and blueprints for HE · Challenging the traditional scholarly communications model: new paradigms in academic publishing · From meetings to makerspaces: reshaping the encounter with teaching and research · Leading the way: inspiring from the top to nurture innovation from the ground up. · Disruptive collaboration: how non-traditional partnerships are opening up new avenues for the academy · Wrangling data: making data ‘faster, smarter and more personal’* · Researcher engagement and support: exploring the interrelation of library and research offices · Working in concert: new impetus and inspirations for collaboration across campus · Hiring and firing up: integrating and exploiting new expertise within our libraries We are also inviting submissions for speed presentations (20 slides at 20 seconds each) based on the theme of Innovation in our Libraries. Submissions should be sent to Melanie.Cheung@rluk.ac.uk by 9 October 2015.

However, I wonder if your distinction between "the modeller, and the user of the model" could equally well be described as the distinction between the process of modelling and the process of model use. In that sense we see a distinction between two processes which tend to blend into each other but arguably are fundamentally different. Thus, what we see is a time/process based distinction in addition to the distinction between the modelled object, the model, and the modeller(/model user). I agree that the distinction between modelled object and model seems to be much clearer in the modelling process than in the model use process. Seeing modelling and model use as two different processes can indeed help us understand the strange feeling of forgetting that what we are dealing with is "just" a model, not the modelled object — even if we made the model ourselves. This, I think, is part of our general way of being in the world. People tend to believe in their own stories. "Han juger så godt at han tror det selv" ("He lies so good he believes it himself") is not only an expression in Norwegian I suspect. But then, how can we align the model creation vs. model use phases to modelling of and modelling for? Not fully, not 1:1. But there seems to be a tendency towards the focus in the modelling phase being on model of (we focus on the distinction between what the model is based on and the model itself) and the focus in the model use phase being on model for (we focus on what we can use the model to make or accomplish and tends to forget the distinction between model and modelled object).

He begins by discussing Thomas Kuhn's theory of science, in particular the most often discussed sense of Kuhn's famous term, 'paradigm', "a set of metaphysical assumptions, such as Einstein's concept of time". This sense leads to a debate about the revolutionary break that a paradigm-shift is said to mark. > I think this is a misguided debate: it starts from the least useful > sense of 'paradigma'™ (as metaphysical assumptions), least useful > because much too propositional....

As a correlate to this, it is impossible to give an > account of the scientific process without describing the practices, > over and above the beliefs. These practices, Netz argues, are usually invisible to practitioners. It's just what they do. I think what he says here, specifically as introduction to his book on Greek mathematics, is generally applicable to disciplines -- which (the OED's etymology for "discipline" suggests) are not entities but practices. And then there's the question of why it is that there's so much emphasis in the last several years on doing, and on material culture for that matter. Comments?

I'd not seen it before, nor would have imagined it was there to look at. There's lots to get worried about, I think, and some even to be frightened by, but, if you'll allow me, I'd like to pick on one particular thing--a Hobby Horse of mine--and to ask what others here think about it. This Wikipedia page is richly splattered with the phrase "significant impact." Occasionally its "substantial impact," but the difference isn't clear, not to me, at least. This use of "impact," to talk about research, scholarship, and academic achievement in general, is now not unusual. Indeed, I would say, it's just about Universal ... No! That's too much. Let me say, so wide spread that you hardly ever see anything else used. But why do we use this term impact for what we do, in research, scholarship, teaching ... but not for other things good academics do, but seem not to be valued any more. You know, preparing good reviews of publication submissions and grant proposals, directing PhD students, running Department seminar series with external speakers, and securing the money to do this with ... little things like this, I mean. The word impact, to me, and to others I've asked, suggests - an immediate discernible consequence - deformations, from the impacts of hammer blows, say - damage or injury, from the impact of a collision, say - bullet holes, from the impacts of gun fire, say - craters, from the impacts of meteors, or cannon shells, or rockets, say. New products might be said to impact markets, where making holes and craters to create space for the new, might have some sense, but this word, with all its common connotations, has only negative and destructive things to say. So why are we agreeing to use it in the context of doing academic research, scholarship, and teaching? I think using this word, in combination with the mentality that easily accepts it as a useful term, is resulting in a very thin and superficial approach to assessing academic work, its achievements, and its outcomes. It also seriously distorts what academics actually do--by establishing the wrong incentives and priorities--and this is eroding our capacity to do good academic work, and even to know what good ways of doing this are. My preferred alternative is the word contribution. Good research and scholarship should make good contributions, of various and different kinds, depending upon the kind of work it is, the outcomes it leads to, who takes these outcomes up, and what further they do with them. Good contributions should be expected, and evidence for them should be presented by the academics involved, I think, even when the contributions are outwith their field or discipline--they should still know what these are. But, it should be academics who do the work that make these contributions who decide what and why the things they present are valid and worthwhile contributions. This will typically not involve just counting things. It involves well grounded but explicit and shared criteria, sound judgement with respect to these, and demonstrably valid examples of contribution for all to see. Making the presentation of worthwhile contributions the responsibility of academics means that we get to say what good contributions are, and to show and explain that and why they are. And, as new forms of contribution come about, what counts as a contribution can be easily extended or expanded to include these, instead of, as we are today, having to squash and squeeze some parts of what we do into a few differently coloured beans that can then be counted as impacts ... most of which hardly actually dent anything. Should I, I wonder, quietly put my Horse down--he is quite old now--and walk away from here?

Setting aside the unnecessary verbal histrionics embodied by this statement, I wonder why you consider this to be censorship. In any print-based dictionary or encyclopedia, editors have to go through the exercise of determining what constitutes a valid criteria for inclusion and what should be excluded. It's no different with Wikipedia. There are probably millions of academics alive today and from the past. Do all of them deserve an entry in Wikipedia? If not, how can a crowd-sourced encyclopedia set up consistent criteria for determining which ones do deserve an entry? What makes Wikipedia different from print resources is that Wikipedia is transparent not only about the guidelines, but even the discussions that lead to the formulation of those guidelines. In Wikipedia, you'll find that nearly any subject has pages defining notability, as well as a blanket guideline about notability in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability Anyone who contributes to Wikipedia is allowed to discuss the guidelines or any part of them and discuss cases which may appear to straddle the border of notability. (I note that the archived discussions concerning the notability of academics contains about 80,000 words.) I'd say that's far from censorship.

In-Reply-To: <20150917063610.039616CA9@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Hartmut, Generally speaking, the characters in a text source that you receive are stored in one or more bytes at the basic level (e.g., a capital A is 01000001). The character encoding of your system (application, etc.) will be used to decipher the code and 'print' the characters to your screen, ideally using the same encoding standard used by the author (like UTF-8). Hypothetically, if the source was encoded using something nonstandard (e.g., something other than ASCII, UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32), your system's encoding will fail to render the text correctly (e.g., if 01000001 was 'Z' on the source's system, it will still render as an 'A' on yours). The way the characters appear on your screen are determined by a font which defines glyphs for each character code. If you don't have the font used by the source, your system will often display the character in another font if it can, though if no glyph is found for that character code, a default glyph or box will often be displayed. (The keyboard layout of the author should only affect input, not the way your system computes/prints a text). For a quick, simple intro: http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-what-is-encoding.en To see tables with encoding information for characters, this site is helpful: http://www.utf8-chartable.de/ Joshua Mann Research Fellow CODEC Research Centre Durham University United Kingdom --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 06:43:40 -0600 From: Nick Thieberger Subject: Re: 29.296 character encoding across platforms? In-Reply-To: <20150917063610.039616CA9@digitalhumanities.org> This is what Unicode now solves for us. All character encoding in Unicode is consistent, but the problem may be that the font being used does not include all codepoints in its representation. This is why you still get blocks of blank rectangles if you are sent characters outside of the reach of the fonts you have selected. But the reassuring thing is that the underlying characters are still there, if you can install a font that will show them.

The winner will be handed a prize of €500 and candidates in the second and third position will receive a notable mention. The winner of the seminar series of 2015 is the paper: /Automated Pattern Analysis in Gesture Research: Similarity Measuring in 3D Motion Capture Models of Communicative Action/ by Daniel Schüller et al. in combination with the presentation given by Daniel Schüller, Christian Beecks & Irene Mittelberg from RWTH Aachen University, Germany and University of Alberta, Canada on 23^rd June The prize is awarded on the basis of an evaluation of both the paper and the quality of the presentation, for which this candidate received 85/100. "It was awesome", "Valuable for studying the meaning of gestures", are comments accompanying the scores, which were given for /content quality/, /significance for theory or practice/, /level of/ /innovation/ and /presentation style/ by the reviewers of the papers, and by the audience for the presentations. The winner is closely followed by yet another worthy candidate with a paper entitled /Reconstructing a website's lost past - Methodological issues concerning the history of www.unibo.it/. The paper, written and presented by Federico Nanni from the University of Bologna (and visiting PhD student at the University of Mannheim), receives a notable mention for its high standard and originality. Nanni received great praise especially for his style of presentation; "I enjoyed it!", "Very cool style" and "Great presentation" are just some of the immediate reactions of his audience. This candidate received a score of 81/100. The second notable mention is awarded to the paper /Visualizing the Results of Search Queries on Ancient Text Corpora with Tag Pies/ by Stephan Jänicke from the University of Leipzig, which closely followed Nanni's score with 79/100. Jänicke's paper was ranked very high and his presentation followed by comments, such as "Really original and innovative" and "This would have a broad appeal." _Evaluation Method_ In order to identify the winner, the board based its decision on the scores obtained from the combination of the points awarded by the reviewers of the submitted papers and the points given by the audience during the presentations. The final score for each candidate is the mean of all points summed together from both the paper and the presentation. The categories of evaluation for the paper were: /content quality/, /significance for theory or practice/ and /level of/ /innovation. /The categories for the presentations were the same, with the addition of/presentation style. /It is important to note that the familiarity of the reviewer with the topic presented was taken into great consideration, lest reviewers be inaccurate in their judgment. For questions regarding the evaluation method, please feel free to email us at gddh(at)gcdh(dot)de On behalf of the board of the Göttingen Dialog in Digital Humanities 2015, we would like to thank each and every participant for making this seminar series exactly what we wanted it to be - interesting and inspiring - and for bringing new ideas and DH expertise to Göttingen.We look forward to the next series in 2016!

Claire Clivaz Dear colleagues, following the successful launch of DARIAH-RS last week, it is my pleasure now to draw your attention to a call for applications to the #dariahTeach Open Humanities Workshop, to be held in Belgrade on November 8-9. #dariahTeach is a consortium of seven European universities and research centers which hold an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership Grant to create an open­-source, high­-quality, multilingual portal with training materials for the digital arts and humanities. The workshop, which is partly funded by DARIAH-EU’s Open Humanities Call, will explore key issues in developing interactive, multimodal, localizable, open-access and open-source teaching materials, not just for the #dariahTeach platform, but for the DH community more broadly. There is a limited number of funded places available. You will find more information about the workshop itself and details on how to apply under http://dariah.rs/en/cfp-dariahteach-open-humanities-workshop/ Looking forward to seeing you in Belgrade.

I think that I can be reassuring here: almost _any_ new page created on Wikipedia will very quickly attract someone proposing to delete it, on the grounds that the subject isn't 'notable' and citing multiple notability criteria. Then there follows a generally civil but rather tight-lipped discussion of why the subject _is_ notable, which results (in my experience of the two or three occasions when I've been directly or peripherally involved in such a discussion) in the proposal for deletion being somewhat grumblingly dropped. There's even a clique/movement/tendency who refer to themselves as 'deletionists'. As Bob Kosovsky notes, I suspect this is just an editorial process happening in public and, Wikipedia being Wikipedia, taking the form of legalistic bickering over commas in the criteria, rather than a broad 'in the considered judgement of the editor'. Bob Kosovsky also remarks: > (I note that the archived discussions concerning the notability of > academics > contains about 80,000 words.) Indeed.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 08:37:57 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 29.302 two proliferating questions In-Reply-To: <20150918053115.58FB26CF0@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, In response to your "how simulation makes us differently reasonable?" and "methodology and analogy" questions, I would suggest the following. A simulation does useful work when it suggests that some part of the reality it is supposed to be a model of, works in some way different to how we currently think this part of the world works, or should work. This suggests that further investigation of the world is warranted, and is likely to be productive in building new or better knowledge and understanding. The path to this knew knowledge and understanding does need to pass through some further investigation of the world. We can't just say our simulation seems to show X, so X must be true of the world. With some good fortune, this further investigation of the relevant part(s) of the world will help to resolve the issues of uncertainty you point to. Any imagining we do by means of computing is not a simulation of some kind of imagining not done by means of computing unless the computing is some proper part of some well built simulation of that imagining not done by means of computing. Simulations do need to have their strings tied back to the parts of the world they are simulations of, even if this is a world of imaginings. All this does not, however, deny the possible utility of some computational means to do useful imagining. It just won't be a simulation. It'd be like Deep Blue playing world champion beating chess, but not being a simulation of the way Garry Kasparov played chess. In other words, a simulation is always a device used to study what it is a simulation of. If it's not a device but the real thing, it's not a simulation. Turing to your Maxwell question ... "... if, on turning to the constitution of the human intellect itself, we think we can discern there the reason of this uniformity, in the form of a fundamental law of the right action of the intellect, are we to conclude that these departments of nature in which analogous laws exist, have a real interdependence; or that their relation is only apparent and owing to the necessary conditions of human thought?" In a similar way, this question points to the need for further investigation of the way the world works, to try to establish evidence and/or reason, in the observed behaving of the world, for the apparent sameness, or interdependence, we find in the sameness of the law-like descriptions we form with our intellect.

John Cage's Statements Re Duchamp (reprinted in A Year From Monday). It looks like a statement that could be attributed the to Duchamp (or given the other bits in this Cage piece - it could be mere attribution). Tools that are not good require more skill. What I like in the counterpoising of tools with skill is that it can give rise to a set of four pairings (good design, good skill; bad design, good skill; etc). I also thought it my have some resonance with digital humanities.

Conference to be held at the University of Western Sydney, Parramatta City Campus, Australia AIM OF THE SYMPOSIUM -------------------- ADCS 2015 is an opportunity for researchers and practitioners in document management and information retrieval to meet and present their work. The symposium aims to cover all aspects of Document Computing - issues ranging from the fundamentals of document architectures and standards for markup, through storage, management, retrieval, authentication and workflow, to active and virtual documents. The symposium emphasises both commercial and academic issues by encouraging a variety of submissions. TOPICS OF INTEREST ------------------ The symposium topics include (but are not restricted to) the following: * Cognitive Aspects of Documents * Digital Libraries * Document Databases * Document Standards (XML, SGML, etc.) * Document Summarisation * Enterprise Search * Evaluation * Information Retrieval * Multimedia Document Management * Multimedia Resource Discovery * Natural Language Techniques and Documents * Personalised Documents * Retrieval Models and Ranking * Search Engine Architectures and Scalability * User Studies Involving Documents * Web Documents * Web Search SUBMISSIONS ----------- All submissions must be original work, not previously published elsewhere, and not currently submitted to any other conference or journal. Electronic copies of accepted papers will be made available through the ACM Digital Library as part of the ICPS collection. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically, in PDF format and formatted using the ACM camera-ready templates available at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. Full papers have a maximum of length of 8 pages including all references, and short papers have a maximum length of 4 pages including references. All submissions will be fully refereed using a double blind refereeing process, at their full published length, and will comply with DEST criteria for fully-refereed conference papers (category E1). Papers will be submitted using Easy Chair -- https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=adcs2015 Submission of a paper should be regarded as an undertaking that, should the paper be accepted, at least one of the authors will attend the symposium to present the work. Note also that it is insufficient for an author to register and pay for the symposium to be regarded as fulfilling this obligation. Authors of accepted papers will have to sign the ACM rights management form to comply with publication in the ACM digital library. For more information see the ACM authors page. FULL PAPERS ----------- Full papers should describe new contributions or analyse research issues. Submissions should be at most eight pages long (around 4000 words); over-length submissions risk immediate rejection. Refer to the guidelines for papers for details of the required format. POSTERS, SHORT PAPERS AND INDUSTRY STATUS REPORTS ------------------------------------------------- To encourage participation by industry and to provide a place for work of a more speculative nature, ADCS invites submissions for short papers, up to a maximum of four pages (around 2000 words). A typical proposal might describe a leading-edge solution to a practical problem in document management. Short papers follow the same format as for full papers.

I cannot vouch for the download period for the R (r-base) and R utilities, since I have R already installed for other purposes (sadly, Rcommander is no longer supported in Linux). The first run of TXM was a wee bit slow, but that often happens and there is a lot to load. The second run was a bit faster. I haven't explored it in any detail yet. I will check the installation in Trisquel (which is completely libre Ubuntu-derivative). I can't help on the Debian aspect since my Semplice is based on Debian 8.x - well, in fact, I'll see if it will run. On the installation, gdebi in Uberstudent handled the installation fine. The laptop is an old one with 6Gb RAM using, of course, the 64-bit version. -- http://www.historicalresources.myzen.co.uk (research and pedagogy) From my Trisquel Linux desktop --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2015 12:25:23 +0100 From: "Dave Postles" Subject: TXM 0.7.7 In-Reply-To: <20150918053348.2F2FA6CF9@digitalhumanities.org> TXM on Semplice. I've just installed TXM on Semplice Linux on the same laptop (6Gb RAM) (dual boots Uberstudent and Semplice). Semplice Linux is a Debian variant with the Openbox desktop. The version which I'm using is 'current' (based on Debian unstable 'Sid'). As Semplice is a minimal distro, you need to install gdebi from the repository first. Download the TXM package, but save rather than open (Semplice will not automatically associate with gdebi). On the folder icon for the downloaded file, right click, select system tools, and use gdebi. The installation takes time. -- http://www.historicalresources.myzen.co.uk (research and pedagogy) From my Trisquel Linux desktop _______________________________________________ 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 841037724; Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:25:44 +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 9B6237714; Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:25:43 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B47BC7717; Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:25:40 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150923062540.B47BC7717@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 08:25:40 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.320 jobs: tenure-track at Wisconsin; technical director at CLIR/DLF 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: <20150923062544.26250.52849@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 320.

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 2016. 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 2015 LLOH Prizes were awarded at the CSDH/ACH conference: http://ach.org/2015/06/03/lisa-lena-opas-hanninen-young-scholar-prize/ 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: oe@oeide.no -- 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, 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 5A2317724; Thu, 24 Sep 2015 07:51:49 +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 7B0A07715; Thu, 24 Sep 2015 07:51:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3B3047715; Thu, 24 Sep 2015 07:51:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20150924055144.3B3047715@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2015 07:51:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.322 events: key ideas; TEI; statistical text-analytics 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: <20150924055148.20288.55883@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 322.

As a programming language that can be used to transform XML data into other formats, it is immensely powerful and also comparatively approachable for those already familiar with XML. This seminar will provide participants with an understanding of the essential concepts of XSLT, focusing on examples and use cases from TEI data in the humanities. Familiarity with TEI and XML is assumed but no prior experience with XSLT is necessary. We hope to see you in Boston! best wishes, Julia Julia Flanders Director, Women Writers Project Digital Scholarship Group, Northeastern University Library --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 17:08:21 +0200 From: Sabine Bartsch Subject: Conference announcement: Key Ideas and Concepts of Digital Humanities Conference announcement: Key ideas and concepts of Digital Humanities 26 - 28 October 2015 The conference "Key ideas and concepts of Digital Humanities" which is supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) is going to be hosted at Technische Universität Darmstadt from 26 to 28 October 2015. All colleagues and students interested in the Digital Humanities are invited; participation is of free of charge. The conference registration is open. Please register before 1 October 2015: http://www.dh-concepts.tu-darmstadt.de The hosts are Michael Sperberg-McQueen, who holds the KIVA International Visiting Professorship for Interculturality and Andrea Rapp, Professor for Computer Philology at Technische Universität Darmstadt as well as Sabine Bartsch and Michael Bender, all members of the working group DHDarmstadt. Conference theme The role of the Digital Humanities is currently discussed controversially with a view of both the present and the future. It seems a truism that we need to incorporate the past, if we are to conduct a fruitful discussion of the future. The basis for the present and future role of the field are the key ideas and concepts from which it has evolved. A reappraisal of the history of ideas not only shows the essence of the field, but also highlights the potential it has to offer for the humanities and other, related fields. The interaction of computational concepts with ideas from the breadth of humanities-disciplines has the potential to generate more than the sum of the parts. Since the inception of the field formerly known as humanities computing, new methods were developed and new insights gained. Frequently, interdisciplinary border crossings constitute key moments in which new ideas and concepts emerge. The compilation of a history of ideas of the Digital Humanities is possible, and it is necessary. With this conference, we aim to chart the history of the digital humanities by focusing on a discussion of the key ideas and concepts and the associated key-moments in the development of the field. Whether early pioneering achievements such as the cooperation between Father Roberto Busa and IBM since the late 1940s; Vannevar Bush's essay "As We May Think" describing the landmark idea and design for the Memex; younger milestones such as the establishment of the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI), or the conception of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) --“ examples of key ideas of the DH abound. The event is going to be centred around experts from different areas of the Digital Humanities, each presenting a paper on a key idea or a moment in their research area. The conference will help to identify the most important achievements of the field and discuss their origins and position, their impact and development or possibilities for development.

Aimed at the TEI editing community and intended to be run inside the XML Editor, the DDG generates profiles of every element and attribute appearing in a TEI file. Each entry includes a definition from the TEI Guidelines, a local, project-specific definition (if provided), and a brief snapshot of how the element or attribute is actually being used. By making it easy to compare these three things, the DDG aims to help project editors reflect on current practice within their projects and quickly create stronger encoding guidelines for their collaborators.

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 2016 Offerings (Registration & Scholarships) Offerings for 2016 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, across two weeks. At the moment, preparations for 2016 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 our 40+ 2016 course offerings plus our growing group of pre-DHSI workshops (at http://dhsi.org/courses.php) 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 James Cummings (Oxford), Laura Estill (Texas A&M), Jon Saklofske (Acadia U), and others -- as well as our DHSI Colloquium, lunchtime unconference sessions, and much more … including alliance this year with the engaging academic and workshop program of the international conference of the Electronic Literature Organization (http://eliterature.org) as well as the Modeling and Prototyping conference of the Implementing New Knowledge Environments team (http://inke.ca). 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 2016, 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 hoping to work, as we've done in the past, with ACH and GO::DH for sponsored travel bursaries (!); details on our website. - To register for a 2016 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 and Faculty of Arts, University of British Columbia Okanagan the Simon Fraser University Library, the Canadian Institute 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, Hamilton College DHi, Bucknell University, Texas A&M University, NYU English, CUNY Graduate Center, U Wisconsin-Green Bay, U Michigan Institute for the Humanities, Texas Christian U New Media Writing Studio, SUNY Oswego, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Rutgers University-Camden, Digital Studies Center, Baylor U, Grand Valley State U, McMaster U Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship, Carnegie Mellon 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 Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT), and the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project; 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), Association for Documentary Editing (ADE), Digital Library Federation (DLF), 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! Last year, U Victoria launched a DHSI-based Graduate Certificate program in Digital Humanities, which can be taken in conjunction with other graduate degrees at Victoria and elsewhere, or on its own. 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 (at http://dhsi.org/) 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!

Yes! I think (my) "the modeller" can be well mapped onto (your) "process of modelling," and (my) "user of the model" can be mapped well onto (your) "process of model use," and I like your bringing out of the processes of doing these two different things: making models and using models. I further agree that these two processes are fundamentally different, but, as you say, in practice, tend to blend into each other. Blend is, I would say, a kind word for some of what I have seen happen. Mushed up, I would call it. The process of modelling doesn't gradually thin out as the processing of model using builds up. They become quite mixed up and intertwined: model using provokes more modelling, or model revision, which leads to more and different model use. I have mostly worked in engineering and scientific contexts, including knowledge modelling and information modelling, but I think the same modelling discipline applies, whoever is doing the modelling and model using, and whatever is being modelled. As a way of preventing the process of modelling blending into (or mushing up with) the process of model using, I urge that the modelling process always finishes with well specified, well executed, and well documented model verification and model validation (sub)processes. Once verification and validation are (satisfactorily) completed, the process of modelling can be taken to be complete, and model using may begin. If the verification and/or the validation uncover errors, weaknesses, or unacceptable limitations, further modelling work is required, but this too should be followed by (a sufficient repetition of the) verification and validation processes. This punctuating of the transition from the process of modelling to the process of model using, with verification and validation, does not prevent the model using from forgetting that it is using a model, but, if the people who use the model have been involved in the model verification and validation, I think a better appreciation is carried over into the model use, of what has been modelled, that it has been modelled, what modelling choices, decisions, and judgements were needed to build the model, and how the verification and validation worked out. In this way, it's easier to present modelling and model use as essentially the same as the designing and engineering and then the use of instruments of investigation: a radio telescope for millimeter wave astronomy, to cite just one example. But an example from a discipline that does understand and practice well the fundamental difference between instrument building and instrument using, and the consequences the quality of the first has upon the quality of the second. A question I ask people I suspect of beginning (albeit inadvertently) to treat their model as the reality they claim to study, is what they think their model use gives them: reasons to believe something to be true about the corner of the world they study; or, value(s)--quantitative or qualitative--of modelled variable(s), and thus estimates of possible values of quantities relevant to the corner of the world they study. Which takes us back to precision.

However, I wonder if your distinction between "the modeller, and the user of the model" could equally well be described as the distinction between the process of modelling and the process of model use. In that sense we see a distinction between two processes which tend to blend into each other but arguably are fundamentally different. Thus, what we see is a time/process based distinction in addition to the distinction between the modelled object, the model, and the modeller(/model user). > > I agree that the distinction between modelled object and model seems to be much clearer in the modelling process than in the model use process. Seeing modelling and model use as two different processes can indeed help us understand the strange feeling of forgetting that what we are dealing with is "just" a model, not the modelled object — even if we made the model ourselves. This, I think, is part of our general way of being in the world. People tend to believe in their own stories. "Han juger så godt at han tror det selv" ("He lies so good he believes it himself") is not only an expression in Norwegian I suspect. > > But then, how can we align the model creation vs. model use phases to modelling of and modelling for? Not fully, not 1:1. But there seems to be a tendency towards the focus in the modelling phase being on model of (we focus on the distinction between what the model is based on and the model itself) and the focus in the model use phase being on model for (we focus on what we can use the model to make or accomplish and tends to forget the distinction between model and modelled object). > > Kind regards, > > Øyvind Eide > --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 16:23:13 +0200 From: "Dr. Hartmut Krech" Subject: Re: [Humanist] 29.310 character encoding across platforms In-Reply-To: <20150919081027.9698569F7@digitalhumanities.org> Dear fellow Digital Humanists, I didn't expect such a dry subject to be so much entertaining as presented in the texts referred to by Alexander O'Connor, Gabriel Egan, Joshua Mann, and Nick Thieberger. Being uninitiated into most "other" programs, one usually tries to struggle along (= everyday practice), until one is forced to look for a round-up of the basics that should in time be transformed into a "revolving" curriculum (= discipline).

How did scholarly coteries both produce and upend traditional interpretations of literary history and scholarly practice over the course of the century? How do eighteenth-century debates about the theory and practice of attribution impact on our own practices today? We also invite papers that report on twenty-first-century attribution techniques or methodologies as applied to eighteenth-century writing. Please send abstracts or enquiries to Edmund G. C.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 15:10:10 -0400 From: Wendell Piez Subject: Losing the humanities Dear Willard, I am sure you and many readers of HUMANIST have seen with as much dismay as I have, reports of the Japanese Ministry of Education notice to universities that they should consider excluding humanities subjects from supported fields of study, instead effectively becoming 'vocational schools'. It is a great pity if policy-makers in Japan had personally such ruinous experiences with the humanities that they would do away with the whole thing, at least within their purview of responsibility. It would indeed be fateful if two or three decades ago, one terrible professor of humanities in a Japanese university, teaching (or failing to teach) a young engineer (say) who would at length become an influential government policy-maker, should be singly responsible for the eventual demise of entire professional categories. ("He gave me a poor grade and now I have my opportunity for revenge.") Whatever: one can easily imagine that these decision makers at least, and presumably others who support them, have confidence that to lose the humanities will never to be to miss anything truly edifying. Maybe once this is done, no one will ever again be interested in literature, languages, foreign travel, culture and history (one's own or others). One can't know what they will be interested in -- sports and mediatainment and their jobs, I suppose, whatever washes up. Yet if one assumes that *someone* remains interested in humanities (even finding languages, culture and history to be actually 'useful' in some way, bizarre though it may be to imagine this in a world of diplomacy and international trade), the effect of such a policy, if not its intention, is to say that education in topics designated 'humanities' will henceforth be relegated to the rich and influential, the economic elite who can afford to give their children the best. My partner reminds me that this, if anything, is the historical norm. Perhaps we just lived through an anomalous period -- a period where almost any family could find the means to put a kid through college studying something outlandish, something that perhaps satisfied no impulse other than curiosity, with no strings attached, confident in the knowledge that curiosity, engaged, has its own uses. Such an attitude, it seems to me, is the attitude of a truly wealthy person, whatever their actual means. Most families indeed have never had this option and we are lucky if we did. If we are not wealthy, if we are in fact poor, then perhaps we must throttle state-supported academic study of the humanities because there simply isn't enough to go around. The idea that such throttling of ourselves and our collective capacities is itself, what makes us poor, does not occur. We think that the cause is having no money, and killing the humanities is the effect, when actually it's the other way around. This is not because the humanities will (or will not, or will not alone) make us more money -- their effect is not so direct or accountable -- but for a more basic reason: to be rich is precisely to have money and resources to spend on things like this (as well as on other good things such as a clean environment, or healthy food). Choose to spend money some evening on a nice dinner, followed by attending ballet: you are rich! Choose to say there is no money for dinners, or ballet, we must all stay at home with our cable TV; and you are poor. This is not to say one always has the money to do everything one might wish, with no tradeoffs or consequences. But even if the money is never enough, what we get back tends to be what we make of it. We get the choice. Perhaps in the world to come, no public money will be spent on the humanities. But this doesn't mean the study of the humanities will end, only that it will be relegated to those who can afford to waste their time on something with no guarantee of a return, i.e. to the wealthy and privileged. (With perhaps a sprinkling of closeted obsessives who can't help themselves.) However, even such a poor society will have to be ruled by someone, and my bet is it will be someone who isn't as poor and as limited in means as the mass, some sort of elite or other. Given such an elite, it is impossible to imagine that they themselves aren't going to study topics in the humanities whenever they want or feel they have a need, whether any return be guaranteed or not. (They will probably also see to it that the schools where they send their kids are ready to answer this requirement when called on.) To have such freedom to do so, indeed, is the whole point of having financial means and political power. If this is the case, one wonders about the supposed egalitarianism of the anti-intellectual attitude. It's as if they presume to attack 'elitism' and end up attacking one the very things that constitutes and embodies the freedom and privilege otherwise available only to elites. The question is not, can we afford this, but who gets to be so privileged. An education in the humanities is among other things an education in political awareness -- both for oneself and, weirdly, for others whom one encounters. The paradox of it is that the benefits of such a humanistic education can be shared even when studying something entirely 'vocational' -- any engineer is fortunate to go to a school where she encounters teachers and peers engaged with languages, history and the arts, even or especially if she does not agree with them. It is broadening. Is this an opportunity we think only a very few people should have? I trust you are well!

When you write: "[...] this doesn't mean the study of the humanities will end, only that it will be relegated to those who can afford to waste their time on something with no guarantee of a return", you imply that the humanities have "no guarantee of a return". Yet it has been convincingly shown -- even by business magazines like Forbes -- that the humanities have a great return, even greater than the sciences and engineering. This should be the message to politicians who don't understand otherwise! Here is last year's article in Forbes: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jeffreydorfman/2014/11/20/surprise-humanities-degrees-provide-great-return-on-investment/ And here's an article showing that humanities students have more stable careers : http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/education/humanities-students-less-vulnerable-to-job-market-booms-and-busts-study-says/article21745260/ Finally, here's an article (from my own hand) on the immense utility of humanistic insights: http://blog.oup.com/2014/02/how-the-humanities-changed-the-world/ Spread the word!

A 2000 book may not qualify as recent in this frenetic age, but was it Charles Petzold's "Code: The hidden language of computer hardware and software"? Not a how to code book, rather a general, just sufficiently metaphorical, explanation of the whole matter.

Wendell said some things about this question but we need more and more discussion abut this specific point, i think. With the awareness that what is at stake is which world we want and want to build, not simply which subjects will be studied in the universities. maurizio Il 26/09/15 08:25, Humanist Discussion Group ha scritto: Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 329. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 15:10:10 -0400 From: Wendell Piez Subject: Losing the humanities Dear Willard, I am sure you and many readers of HUMANIST have seen with as much dismay as I have, reports of the Japanese Ministry of Education notice to universities that they should consider excluding humanities subjects from supported fields of study, instead effectively becoming 'vocational schools'. It is a great pity if policy-makers in Japan had personally such ruinous experiences with the humanities that they would do away with the whole thing, at least within their purview of responsibility. It would indeed be fateful if two or three decades ago, one terrible professor of humanities in a Japanese university, teaching (or failing to teach) a young engineer (say) who would at length become an influential government policy-maker, should be singly responsible for the eventual demise of entire professional categories. ("He gave me a poor grade and now I have my opportunity for revenge.") Whatever: one can easily imagine that these decision makers at least, and presumably others who support them, have confidence that to lose the humanities will never to be to miss anything truly edifying. Maybe once this is done, no one will ever again be interested in literature, languages, foreign travel, culture and history (one's own or others). One can't know what they will be interested in -- sports and mediatainment and their jobs, I suppose, whatever washes up. Yet if one assumes that *someone* remains interested in humanities (even finding languages, culture and history to be actually 'useful' in some way, bizarre though it may be to imagine this in a world of diplomacy and international trade), the effect of such a policy, if not its intention, is to say that education in topics designated 'humanities' will henceforth be relegated to the rich and influential, the economic elite who can afford to give their children the best. My partner reminds me that this, if anything, is the historical norm. Perhaps we just lived through an anomalous period -- a period where almost any family could find the means to put a kid through college studying something outlandish, something that perhaps satisfied no impulse other than curiosity, with no strings attached, confident in the knowledge that curiosity, engaged, has its own uses. Such an attitude, it seems to me, is the attitude of a truly wealthy person, whatever their actual means. Most families indeed have never had this option and we are lucky if we did. If we are not wealthy, if we are in fact poor, then perhaps we must throttle state-supported academic study of the humanities because there simply isn't enough to go around. The idea that such throttling of ourselves and our collective capacities is itself, what makes us poor, does not occur. We think that the cause is having no money, and killing the humanities is the effect, when actually it's the other way around. This is not because the humanities will (or will not, or will not alone) make us more money -- their effect is not so direct or accountable -- but for a more basic reason: to be rich is precisely to have money and resources to spend on things like this (as well as on other good things such as a clean environment, or healthy food). Choose to spend money some evening on a nice dinner, followed by attending ballet: you are rich! Choose to say there is no money for dinners, or ballet, we must all stay at home with our cable TV; and you are poor. This is not to say one always has the money to do everything one might wish, with no tradeoffs or consequences. But even if the money is never enough, what we get back tends to be what we make of it. We get the choice. Perhaps in the world to come, no public money will be spent on the humanities. But this doesn't mean the study of the humanities will end, only that it will be relegated to those who can afford to waste their time on something with no guarantee of a return, i.e. to the wealthy and privileged. (With perhaps a sprinkling of closeted obsessives who can't help themselves.) However, even such a poor society will have to be ruled by someone, and my bet is it will be someone who isn't as poor and as limited in means as the mass, some sort of elite or other. Given such an elite, it is impossible to imagine that they themselves aren't going to study topics in the humanities whenever they want or feel they have a need, whether any return be guaranteed or not. (They will probably also see to it that the schools where they send their kids are ready to answer this requirement when called on.) To have such freedom to do so, indeed, is the whole point of having financial means and political power. If this is the case, one wonders about the supposed egalitarianism of the anti-intellectual attitude. It's as if they presume to attack 'elitism' and end up attacking one the very things that constitutes and embodies the freedom and privilege otherwise available only to elites. The question is not, can we afford this, but who gets to be so privileged. An education in the humanities is among other things an education in political awareness -- both for oneself and, weirdly, for others whom one encounters. The paradox of it is that the benefits of such a humanistic education can be shared even when studying something entirely 'vocational' -- any engineer is fortunate to go to a school where she encounters teachers and peers engaged with languages, history and the arts, even or especially if she does not agree with them. It is broadening. Is this an opportunity we think only a very few people should have? I trust you are well! Best regards, Wendell -- The digital is neither inherently a site of innovation nor a necessarily useful innovation in itself. The digital methods needs to be carefully thought through, motivated, and explained.

Or is the cause of it something else more serious, more interesting?

When it comes to major policy issues, international awareness and pressure from outside Japan often means a lot. For example, if administrators at leading Western institutions expressed concerns about being able to conduct humanities-based exchange programs with Japan, that sort of thing would probably be helpful.

When the technology changes, you need to go back and get educated again, and if the industry disappears, you need to go back and get educated again. At what point does four or five two-year degrees seem like a waste of time? What the liberal arts provide are the mathematical, linguistic, and scientific background to retrain yourself to any work environment without having to go back for further education. Historically, liberal arts degrees are management degrees, the things a "free man" needs to know to conduct business in the world. And when you ask employers what they want, it's essentially a liberal arts degree by another name. Employers can provide job training. They can't -- and don't believe they should have to -- provide basic skills. When about 30% of all grads are Business majors who write and speak like moronic 12 year olds, the real problem should be wondering how one more grad with a Business degree and a bad cover letter is going to make him/herself stand out in this job market. We shouldn't be questioning liberal arts degrees. We should be questioning Business degrees. So the problem isn't with liberal arts education in itself. The problem is that employers don't understand how to connect that education to specific positions. I advise my students to get a degree in whatever area they love -- English, Art History, Philosophy, whatever, just be dedicated to it -- but minor in web technologies, PR, management, or something else recognizable to employers. All that matters is getting in somewhere. Once there, if you've studied, you'll be able to do whatever they ask you to do. You really have been prepared for it.

It assumes that (the majority of) people are 'reasonable', while they may not be. They may be convinced on one day, and act differently the next day. This is especially because the humanities have an image problem. The idea that the humanities are useless to economy and that their value lies elsewhere is so much part of current western culture, that more is needed. It would only work if the benefit of the humanities is demonstrated (1) unanimously, (2) repeatedly, (3) by a large group of preferably very influential people. All three are important, but give people's short term memory the benefit must at least be repeatedly shown for some time.

The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 30 October 2015. Applications are made via the Postgraduate Application Centre: www.pac.ie/nuig (see below). A PDF copy of this advertisement is available at http://bit.ly/dah-scholarship Introduction Digital Arts & Humanities (DAH) is a full-time four-year interdisciplinary structured PhD programme. The PhD programme is linked to an all-Irish university consortium committed to developing postgraduate education and training in the Digital Arts and Humanities. Consortium members include NUI Galway; Trinity College Dublin; University College Cork; and NUI Maynooth, and includes additional contributions by Queen’s University Belfast; University of Ulster; the Royal Irish Academy; and by our industrial partners, Google, IBM, and Intel. What is DAH? DAH is a field of study and research which develops the combined creative potential of new computing software programmes, data aggregation, visualisation, information management, text analysis and text mining, and digital media of different kinds. The programme at NUI Galway, established in 2011, enables students to carry out research in this area at the highest level by engaging with leading academics, practitioners, and representatives of industry. The DAH Structured PhD programme provides the research platform, structures, partnerships and innovation models for fourth-level researchers to engage with a wide range of stakeholders in order to contribute to the developing digital arts and humanities community world-wide. It includes both practice-based research in digital art and media and the use of digital tools in the scholarly analysis of cultural texts. For the student, DAH will: – promote advanced practical and academic research in applying innovative models of arts practice and theory, humanities research, archiving, and pedagogy, – provide coherent exposure to transferable skills in digital content creation that will be academically and professionally beneficial, – work with industry partners and cultural institutions to ensure knowledge exchange and career development. Programme Structure Candidates enter the programme via the Humanities or the Arts strands (in the Moore Institute or Huston School respectively). In each strand, students complete training and career development modules, including main modules taught at NUI Galway as well as modules and workshops shared with partner institutions. The overall aim of the taught modules is 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 create an enabling framework for students to develop generic and transferable skills to complete the required work for the award of the PhD. Work placements at pertinent institutions may also form part of the scholarship. Year 1 Students select a number of educational modules from a range of courses and workshops delivered at NUI Galway and at partner institutions. These modules provide a grounding in essential research skills and transferable skills together with access to specialist topics. Years 2-3 Work on PhD research projects is supplemented with access to elective modules. Year 4 Dedicated to completion of PhD. Application Process NUI Galway invites applications for four-year scholarships for the DAH programme; scholarships are valued at €16,000 plus fees per annum. Entrants will be expected to have a first-class or upper second-class honours degree within a relevant discipline. Applicants proposing practice-based research should provide evidence of their work in the relevant area of practice. Candidates who have applied previously to the DAH programme may apply for this scholarship only with a new proposal. Applications are invited in the area of Digital Humanities or Digital Arts research. Digital Humanities proposals should include a strong digital component, either as a core method of research and dissemination, or as a subject of research in itself. Proposals may address any topic within Digital Humanities, including (but not limited to): archives & preservation; authorship attribution; classical studies; corpus analysis; crowdsourcing; historical studies; interdisciplinary collaboration; internet history; literary studies; natural language processing; ontologies; scholarly editing; stylistics and stylometry; text-mining; textual studies; visualisation. Previous DAH students have also worked closely with researchers at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in Galway (https://www.insight-centre.org/). Digital Arts proposals may examine questions such as artistic practice informed by digital media; the intersection between artistic creativity and technological innovation; the impact of the digital on the form, structure and function of narrative. Proposals for practice-based doctorates are welcome as well as traditional academic formats. Prospective applicants should identify and indicate potential supervisors for their research proposal: http://www.nuigalway.ie/findasupervisor/ For further information please contact Professor Daniel Carey, Moore Institute (daniel.carey@nuigalway.ie) or Dr Justin Tonra, Discipline of English (justin.tonra@nuigalway.ie). Application should be made online at the Postgraduate Application Centre: www.pac.ie/nuig – PAC code: GYG38. One sample of academic writing (e.g. a recent BA or MA course essay) and a 1500-word research proposal should also be submitted through PAC. The proposal must be structured under the following headings: 1. Description of proposed research (800 words) This section should describe clearly the subject and scope of your research, and the proposed outcomes in terms of the creation of new resources, tools, knowledge transfer, etc. You should indicate the critical problems or questions you propose to address in the thesis component of your PhD, as well as any digital outputs that may arise from your work. 2. Context (350 words) This section should describe, as far as you can tell, the extent of the existing academic and digital work in your area of interest. You should be able to explain how your research will challenge or extend this existing situation. 3. Methodology (250 words) Here you should describe the specific methodologies and technologies you expect to employ. 4.

[2] From: Alexander Murzaku (28) Subject: Re: 29.333 losing the humanities --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 07:05:11 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: what's the problem and what can we do about it? There's been much talk about digital humanities coming to the rescue of the humanities as a whole. The story of David and Goliath does come to mind, but still I would deflate the rhetoric and ask just who this Goliath is and what makes him (or her) so threatening? I suppose in the original story it's fear that makes the small people so small and lack of it that makes bold David so effective. But in our case what makes the humanities seem so weak? What can we do about it? The culture of accountancy elevates measurement and calculation to a high place. In 1961, in "The Function of Measurement in Modern Physical Science" (Isis 52.2, pp. 161-93) Thomas Kuhn demonstrated -- not too strong a word, I think -- that measurement plays no more than a role in the sciences, and a far more complex and theory-bearing role than is commonly realised. Many prominent scientists have testified to the deleterious effects this culture of accountancy has on research in their fields. Accountancy renders the interpretative disciplines mortally weak insofar as it is believed to be the standard of quality. Simultaneously, ordinary working people know in ways this academic can only remember dimly that what they do certainly does not provide them a life worth living. That's where the humanities enter the picture. At a roadhouse dinner in Western Australia in early August this year, on a tour of the Kimberly region, I found myself sitting opposite a man whose company I had avoided because I thought him a typical businessman, with whom I'd share no interests. How mistaken I was! He turned out to be a CEO of a very successful business who had recently returned to university so that he could study human psychology and find out more about himself and others. He was ravenous for knowledge, including knowledge about digital humanities -- and very bright. Such people we need to reach. Why aren't we doing that? Do we not have abundant evidence that computing, which out of ignorance bears into the present and future this culture of accountancy, is a source of imaginative forms? Isn't this what digital humanities is or could be all about? Would pursuit and publication of this truth not attack the problem at its root? Comments? 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: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 09:14:56 -0400 From: Alexander Murzaku Subject: Re: 29.333 losing the humanities In-Reply-To: <20150929053727.564DD69D8@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, As Rens Bod says, humanities have an image problem. My question is who created this problem. Unfortunately, I think it is journalists, intellectuals, academicians and, most of all, politicians. Even more unfortunate is the fact that most of these people are educated in the humanities. Are we, as a society, trying to create a new kind of proletariat - a working class narrowly specialized to do only one thing? Is this what Udacity's nanodegrees or Coursera's specializations are? The fact is that big corporations (Google, AT&T, Salesforce) are sponsoring this kind of education. Or maybe the only people that seek and obtain these narrow specializations are people with already a strong liberal arts education/background that have developed the curiosity, the stamina to complete something, and the basis to understand most concepts taught in these continuing education offerings. I am very curious to know (I am sure there are data) what is the educational background of the people that do complete the technical curricula offered through the various MOOC models. It could turn out that the people that can complete the mythical 10,000 hours of training are only those that have the desire to do it, the curiosity to seek it and Dweck's grit http://news.stanford.edu/news/2015/april/dweck-kids-potential-042915.html to complete it. It looks like all those traits and attitudes are fostered and are developed but not advertised enough in the trivium/quadrivium model where humanities are an important component.

Furthermore, a standing question is what would one expect that will be included and what is not ("What is DH?" discussions). However, I was wondering -- Is there a database that lists and categorizes/labels many DH databases? Or. at least, some exhaustive listings? As a developer it is interesting for me to see how many are built with each technology or platform, what tools are used, etc. That is, from the technical point of view. My incentive of searching for such a database arises now when I am preparing a presentation about DH in Tel-Aviv and jerusalem. I want to see what other databases are built with Drupal, the CMS that I use, and how common it is used compared with WordPress, Omeka, etc. So, does anyone knows anything about that? Thanks, Amir TopDownUp.com --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 16:25:15 +0000 From: Daniel O'Donnell Subject: Virtual reality wishlist? We are getting a virtual reality lab that we need to stock. At this point the budgeters are asking us for a wishlist of what we might need/want. "The space will consist of a VR space that is 6.8m x 5.1m, plus a control/observation room and a workshop/storage space.... I’ve been asked to assemble our best guesses at the technical requirements for a multi-functional VR space. I need your help. Imagine how you would equip this space to use it for what you do - thinking big, broad and collaborative. Ask colleagues for input. For example, you might put large video panels, or head-mounted goggles , full-body motion capture, a balance plate, multi-speaker surround sound, etc. Next think about what technical requirements that would need: outlets, cable conduits, IT stuff, acoustic treatment, etc. " What would the DH hive mind suggest if you could do anything? -dan _______________________________________________ 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 3070169ED; Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:38:35 +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 69F2869C7; Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:38:34 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 02EBE69C7; Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:38:31 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20150930043832.02EBE69C7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:38:31 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.338 asst. professorship at Texas A&M 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: <20150930043834.2981.61149@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 338.

This session is geared toward those working on dissertations currently or in the future, those who supervise or review dissertations, and those interested in the intersections between the digital humanities and graduate studies more broadly. We welcome (and are ourselves) participants from all career stages, including students, librarians, staff, researchers, faculty members, and others. Please join us for what is sure to be an exciting session! Digital Humanities (DH) and/in the Dissertation MLA 2016, Session 1 Thursday January 7th, 8.30am-11.30am Please note that all registrations are handled through the MLA conference site http://www.mla.org/convention . Sponsored by the Digital Humanities Summer Institute, the Public Knowledge Project, the Maker Lab in the Humanities, the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab, and the Implementing New Knowledge Environments project, this workshop offers participants both theoretical and hands-on considerations of a number of innovative ways in which the Digital Humanities (DH) can affect, reflect, or otherwise shape the PhD dissertation. The session is structured around an opening talk, two sessions of breakout groups (some seminar, some hands on), and group discussion as follows: Alyssa Arbuckle (U Victoria) and Liz Grumbach (TAMU), “Ctrl+Alt+Diss,” Melissa Dalgleish (York U) and Daniel Powell (King's College London, U Victoria), “Beyond the Protomonograph: Digital Models for the Dissertation,” Laura Estill (TAMU), “DH After the Dissertation: Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowships,” Brian Owen (Simon Fraser U Library, Public Knowledge Project), “On-Campus Spaces and Services for Digital Dissertation Work,” Jentery Sayers (U Victoria), “Versioning Your Dissertation with Git,” Lynne Siemens (U Victoria), ““Project Management for Graduate Students and Early Career Scholars.” We are exceptionally pleased to be working with the MLA Office of Scholarly Communication on this workshop. Format: 1. 8.30-9.10: Welcome, Brief Opening Talks 2. 9.15-10.00: Breakout Session 1 3. 10.15-11.00: Breakout Session 2 (a repeat, so attendees can engage two topics) 4. 11.10-11.30: Wrap-up and Full Group Discussion Breakout sessions: 1. Ctrl+Alt+Diss (Alyssa Arbuckle & Liz Grumbach): How are scholarly communication practices changing? What implications does the current trend toward social knowledge creation have for more traditional academic pursuits, like the dissertation? How is scholarly output transforming in the digital world, and what does that mean for current and future dissertators? We will explore these topics within the broader digital humanities realm, as well as consider alternatives to traditional academic practices and trajectories. This workshop is geared toward undergraduate and graduate students, alt-ac practitioners and those curious about the alt-ac track, as well as individuals interested in digital scholarly communication and social knowledge creation in general. 2. Beyond the Protomonograph: Digital Models for the Dissertation (Melissa Dalgliesh & Daniel Powell): This session is designed to provide an overview of current activity in the field of digital dissertations in humanities contexts. We will provide numerous examples of such projects, with the aim of illustrating how advanced graduate students are creating PhD capstone projects that effectively integrate digital technologies generally, and the digital humanities more specifically. The first part of this workshop will highlight between three and five projects currently in progress or recently completed, including: a dissertation project published as a constantly evolving blog; a multimedia dissertation project integrating text, video, and sound; and different projects integrating social media like Twitter, network visualisations, or geolocation. The second part of the workshop will encourage participants to consider and actively talk through the logistical, administrative, and infrastructural issues that such dissertations prompt for university administrations, students pursuing digital projects, and for those in mentorship and supervisory positions. 3. DH after the Dissertation: Digital Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowships (Laura Estill): While many of us want digital skills, it seems that the best time to have learned them was always yesterday … or tomorrow. This workshop considers the benefits and challenges of learning digital humanities skills during a postdoctoral fellowship. We will discuss the different kinds of digital humanities postdocs (project-driven; teaching-oriented; research-focused), what you can expect, where to find them, and how to apply. We will talk about how to get the technological skills and support you need to complete your projects, how to manage your time, and how to position yourself on the job market. This session will be of value for doctoral students, faculty considering hiring a DH postdoc, and veteran postdocs and advisors. 4. On-Campus Spaces and Services for Digital Dissertation Work (Brian Owen): Libraries have long been spaces for traditional, print-based academic work, including the PhD thesis. But how are libraries evolving to support or intersect with digital humanities research? How does the development of the research commons reflect the need for alternative approaches to learning and scholarship in the digital age? This workshop will grapple with these topics, as well as explore the research commons at Simon Fraser University (SFU) Library in Burnaby, British Columbia, as an exemplar. The SFU Library’s Research Commons opened in 2014 and supports the research endeavours of the university community, with particular focus on graduate students during all stages of the research lifecycle--ideas, partners, proposal writing, research process, and publication--and provides easy access to both physical and virtual research resources. 5. Versioning Your Dissertation with Git (Jentery Sayers): Git and GitHub allow people to track changes made to a given project and, in so doing, produce a detailed revision history. In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of Git and GitHub, with an emphasis on how they can be used to archive, track, version, and even share changes to a dissertation. They will also discuss GitHub as a component in the publication process. 6. Project Management for Graduate Students and Early Career Scholars (Lynne Siemens): Project management skills are increasingly in demand for graduate students, early career scholars and alternative academics. This offering will cover the basics of project management from project definition to project review upon completion, including management of resources, time, tasks, and budget, risk assessment and mitigation, software tools and related internet resources and other topics. Material will be covered through lectures, discussions, and case studies.

Accountants count things--dollars, euros, pounds, widgets, workers, etc--and then perform additions and subtractions upon these numbers. All this counting and calculating involves no measurement. Quantifying is not measurement. Similarly, counting citations or publications or other easily counted beans, is not measurement, but it is accountancy. Measurement necessarily involves a proper mapping of an empirically estimated quantity onto a well (and pre-) defined scale of numerical values shown to vary in a way that conforms to the way the estimated quantity changes. This is not easy to do. Furthermore, the imagination and inventiveness and ingenuity and making skills needed to devise and build an instrument with which to perform an empirical measurement well enough to gain anything from all this, is typically a lot, whatever the discipline is. And there is, I would say, a great deal of necessary art and humanity in this doing of measurement. Kuhn was right to draw attention to the inadequacy of Lord Kelvin's dictum, "If you cannot measure, your knowledge is meager and unsatisfactory," as a basis for understanding the essentials of work in the Physical Sciences, but Kuhn's paper, "The Function of Measurement in Modern Physical Science," fails to even touch upon the human endeavour of trying to measure things, and the imagination, inventiveness, ingenuity, perseverance, joy, and sadness this involves. People make measurements. In the Sciences we like to pretend this is so unimportant that it's almost untrue. The Humanities are needed to remind us, and everybody else who looks upon the Sciences with marvel and envy, that it is necessarily true. There is no science without humans and their arts; there is no technology without humans and their arts; there is no engineering without humans and their arts; there is no mathematics without humans and their arts. And there is no need for all this science, technology, engineering, and maths without humans and their arts. When we count beans and do sums with the numbers our vision and minds seem to be prevented from seeing this reality. This is why Bean Counting makes life so much easier for the people who are supposed to manage what we do: they just have to count things and proclaim that the numbers tell us everything we need to know. What would help the Humanities would be a whole lot more Scientists, Technologists, Engineers, and Mathematicians showing everybody that the Arts and Humanities are an integral and needed part of what they do each day. Together, we should pity the Bean Counters and persist in showing them what they are missing, not just wail against them.

The Leiden Manifesto for research metrics Nature, vol 520, pp 429--431, 23 April, 2015 See http://www.leidenmanifesto.org I imagine that this will be known by many here, but perhaps not to all. It is interesting, and I think important, because the authors are respected scientometricians, social scientists, and research administrators. If we could get our respective institutions and organisations to adopt and abide by the ten principles of research evaluation presented in this manifesto, things might improve some. Best regards, Tim --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 16:25:02 +0200 From: "Dr. Hartmut Krech" Subject: Re: [Humanist] 29.333 losing the humanities In-Reply-To: <20150929053727.564DD69D8@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard and all, Calculations are only as good as the material that goes into them. The "image problem" of the Humanities, as correctly noted by Rens Bod, begins with a proper understanding of what we are talking about. It has become customary to identify the "humanities" with the German "Geisteswissenschaften". As a matter of fact, statistically seen, there is no such thing as "Geisteswissenschaften" in Germany, despite the recent phenomenon of "digitale Geisteswissenschaften". The Federal Bureau of Statistics (Statistisches Bundesamt) uses the much more apt category of "culture and language studies" ("Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften") for their calculations. And the results are very similar (or worse) than what James Rovira has noted for English-language countries, although my conclusions are somewhat different. About 450.000 students were enrolled in studies of culture and language at German universities, second only to the studies of the laws, economics, and the social sciences (about 640.000 in 2004). While these are not current figures, the relations have remained about the same. Twice the number of graduates from culture and language studies were unemployed five years after their graduation. A closer look will give a more detailed picture: less than 50% will be working in a position that is corresponding to their education, about 20% and more being self-employed, with an income slightly above the poverty line (http://www.zeit.de/2008/38/C-Geisteswissenschaftler/komplettansicht). We all know that "deep" insights will take several years or even decades of experience, making decisions that computers can simulate at best. Between 60 and 80% of those who find employment at a German university are given temporary contracts of less than 3 years, some as short as three months. Only about 10% of the scientific personnel at German universities are tenure-track professors as compared to 66% at American universities. The average student-to-professor ratio in culture and language studies at German universities has remained the same over the years at about 80:1, at some universities up to 160:1. Fashionable interdisciplinarity tends to increase the number of university courses with 17.800 being taught in 2015. While the trend in the job market is towards "flexibility", the general situation is a tremendous waste of resources. Between 32 and 40% of all students who had enrolled in culture and language studies will terminate their studies early without graduating. When I taught the history of the culture studies, my courses were overrun by students who wanted to know what they were studying, as Albert Magnus once said: "The goal of every science consists in knowing what it is about" -- "at least", one should add. When unemployment or low income have to be sustained over several years, the situation will culminate, as soon as the old-age benefits will not be enough for humanities scholar to live from. While Wendell Piez informs us about plans in Japan to exclude the humanities from supported fields of study, the new subject of Chinese Humanities is getting increased support in the Middle Kingdom. If there is a future for the humanities, it will probably depend on our capacity to find an over-arching pattern that will relate the separate fields to each other, interdisciplinarily and interculturally, so that new practices may be devised that are of practical value. Perhaps, the tradition of the humanities consists less in a canon of shared beliefs than in the shared methodology of reinventing itself to be re-born into an expanding world civilization.

It assumes that (the majority of) people are 'reasonable', while they may not be. They may be convinced on one day, and act differently the next day. This is especially because the humanities have an image problem. The idea that the humanities are useless to economy and that their value lies elsewhere is so much part of current western culture, that more is needed. It would only work if the benefit of the humanities is demonstrated (1) unanimously, (2) repeatedly, (3) by a large group of preferably very influential people. All three are important, but give people's short term memory the benefit must at least be repeatedly shown for some time. > > Best, Rens _______________________________________________ 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,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 8044C6A33; Thu, 1 Oct 2015 07:26:38 +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 B33D16807; Thu, 1 Oct 2015 07:26:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 48DCE6A26; Thu, 1 Oct 2015 07:26:35 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151001052635.48DCE6A26@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 07:26:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.341 collaborative research with the BL?

Funding is available from the Arts & Humanities Research Council’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships (CDP) programme, through which the Library works with UK university partners to deliver a bespoke PhD research and training programme. Our current CDP opportunities include one project to investigate the changing nature of publishing in digital environments, and another that will apply digital techniques to forge fresh insights into the construction of scientific knowledge in the 18th Century: 1. “Digital Publishing and the Reader” will identify and examine new technologies used in publishing in the UK. It has a particular emphasis on examples which encourage interaction between readers, texts and authors, such as text-based online gaming, online comics, or online publishing relating to campaigns and activism. The project will inform how emerging media and new communication technologies should be recorded or collected as part of a national collection on British written culture. 2. “Hans Sloane’s Books: Evaluating an Enlightenment Library” will break new ground by developing digital tools to cross-reference, contextualise and analyse the intellectual significance of the library of Hans Sloane (1660-1753): physician, collector and posthumous ‘founding father’ of the British Museum. The project will draw on in-house digital-curatorial expertise to develop software tools to interrogate Library datasets and to devise ways of ordering and visualising the data. This will enable the first full evaluation of the contribution of Sloane’s library to the Enlightenment scientific community. Academics with interests in digital humanities and digital scholarship are invited to develop either of these research themes with a view to co-supervising a PhD project with the British Library. The projects would start in October 2016. A fully-funded AHRC studentship will be allocated to each partner university. Once recruited, the PhD students will get staff-level access to Library collections, expertise and facilities, as well as financial support for research-related costs of up to £1,000 a year. The application deadline is 27 November.

The position is full-time, with a fixed-term employment for 12 months, starting March 1 2016, and located at SSLIS. Description: The study of this Experienced Researcher project aims to critically explore the range of measures and methods for establishing trustworthiness, quality parameters and authenticity of digital reproductions in libraries and archives, particularly by looking at cases where levels and measures are negotiated between such memory institutions and external agents hired to perform parts of the process. The results of such negotiations might have significant bearing on the value of the digitized resource, and the level of post-processing work, use and re-use that can be performed with the digitized material within digital edition projects and other scholarly work. How and to what extent are these measures and methods maintained consistently throughout projects versus being renegotiated, possibly affecting the scholarly value of the digitized resource? Formal requirements: Within DiXiT, the applicant for the position of Senior Researcher must: - be in possession of a doctoral degree or have at least four years of full-time equivalent research experience. - also have less than five years of full-time equivalent research experience. - be fluent in English. There is also a mobility rule within the DiXiT project which means that the applicant of the position as Senior Researcher at SSLIS must not have resided or carried out his/her main activity (work, studies etc) in the country of his/her host organization (Sweden) for more than 12 months in 3 years immediately prior to his/her recruitment. Short stays, such as holidays, are not taken into account.

In-Reply-To: <20150930043726.AC7FDAC4@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Amir, I don't know of any "database of databases". Part of it, I think, is that databases (more than tools, and probably more than stand-alone data sets) can be quite discipline-specific, so you might have more luck looking for directories of databases on a discipline-by-discipline basis, and using a browser extension like Wappalyzer to figure out what CMS is being used. If you're coming at this from a CMS-use perspective, there's also a lot of websites (for projects, departments, programs, centers, etc.) that may not think of themselves as a "database", but which use the same technologies. For what it's worth, I'm working on compiling a list of DH sites I know of that use Drupal as part of my "Drupal for Humanists" website (http://drupal.forhumanists.org). I haven't gotten around to posting what I have yet, but I hope to within the next month or so.

The workshop is appropriate for non-technical cultural heritage and humanities experts who want to represent information contextually on the Web. The workshop will teach how to represent data in a contextual knowledge representation format, the CIDOC CRM, using a unique mapping tool - and explain why more projects and organisations are adopting this approach, using practical examples. No previous knowledge of data mapping or CIDOC CRM is required. A laptop with a reasonably sized screen, and an interest in using the Semantic Web, is required. This might include curators and scholars interested in digital representation and other experts involved in representing cultural heritage information to different audiences. The workshop includes data mapping exercises and learning some technical skills to a basic level.

An impression I have of the way this "losing the humanities" conversation is set, and of how the same issue is treated elsewhere, is as a You, Us, and Them triangle. The "Them" here is everybody not in the humanities, nor in the sciences, engineerings, and maths, but most notably the politicians, policy makers, business leaders, (many) teachers, and those who comments on what these people do and say. The "You" here are people in the sciences, engineerings, and maths, and the "Us" are people in the arts and humanities. Or, visa versa: "You" are people in the arts and humanities, and "Us" are people in the sciences, engineerings, and maths. It depends on whose doing the talking. When the "Us" are arts and humanities people, the talk about loss is directed to the "Them," and is about the Them's failure to appreciate the consequences of this loss. There is little or no mention of "You" in this talk. When the "Us" are people in the sciences, engineerings, and maths, the talk is excitement about the way the "Them" are finally appreciating the need for more STEM teaching. There is little or no mention of "You" in this talk. In other words, You and Us hardly acknowledge the issues of the other, let alone talk to each other about what we can and should be doing for and with each other. My sense is that the "Them" would better understand and accept the need for the Arts and Humanities, if They (the Them) saw You and Us not only talking more together, but working more together. And, certainly from the sciences, engineerings, and maths side, more working with people in the arts and humanities is needed, I think. To illustrate what I'm thinking of, with just one example, I would point to a (somewhat) polemical interaction involving Donald Knuth--one of the Farther's of Computer Science--and historians of computing, in particular, Thomas Haigh, a historian of information science and technology, at the School of Information Studies, University of Wisconsin. (I think the polemic is, in part, what makes this a useful example.) Knuth gave an invited lecture in 2014 in which he decried the lack of deep histories of Computer Science today. At the beginning of his talk he explained what he would like to have and why, and then went on to say why he is not getting it, in his view. You can see Knuth’s talk here. The 2014 Kailath Lecture, May 7, 2014 Prof Donald Knuth: Let's Not Dumb Down the History of Computer Science http://kailathlecture.stanford.edu/2014KailathLecture.html In response, Thomas Haigh published a reply to Knuth in January of this year, in the Communications of the ACM. Thomas Haigh, 2015. The Tears of Donald Knuth: Has the history of computing taken a tragic turn?, Communications of the ACM, vol 58, no 1, pp 40--44, January 2015. (See note below about access.) Haigh's paper summarises Knuth's main points, and presents, I think, a reasonable, balanced, and well argued response, highlighting several important difficulties and challenges for the humanities that hinder and prevent the kind of work Knuth wishes for. Together these two statements illustrate why a closer working of people in STEM disciplines and those working in the humanities is needed, but remains difficult and sometimes impossible in today's world. I don't want to suggest that this is all the humanities should be doing. Of course not! There's plenty more that needs to be worked on than histories in the STEM subjects. But, I do think that if this was a stronger and more visible corner of what the humanities does with Us, it would help others, "Them," to understand and appreciate the importance of what the humanities does. And, it would help both the people doing the STEM stuff, and those (the "Them") who think STEM subjects, and only STEM, are needed, to understand and appreciate that we can't do good science, engineering, maths, and designing, without a good understanding of the histories in these subjects, and how they fit in with everything else we do ... for the six reasons Knuth sets out at the beginning of his talk, and the tragedy in Haigher's title, that Alain de Botton (in his TED talk: thank you Arianna!) talks of the need for. Best regards, Tim Note: The Haigh article requires an ACM subscription to access, I think. For those of you who don't have one, you may borrow my copy from here But please "put it back afterwards," ie, just view this, don't save a copy, and don't tell lots of people about this.

It assumes that (the majority of) people are 'reasonable', while they may not be. They may be convinced on one day, and act differently the next day. This is especially because the humanities have an image problem. The idea that the humanities are useless to economy and that their value lies elsewhere is so much part of current western culture, that more is needed. It would only work if the benefit of the humanities is demonstrated (1) unanimously, (2) repeatedly, (3) by a large group of preferably very influential people. All three are important, but give people's short term memory the benefit must at least be repeatedly shown for some time. > > Best, Rens _______________________________________________ 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 422EE6A3C; Sat, 3 Oct 2015 08:14:15 +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 5B956699C; Sat, 3 Oct 2015 08:14:14 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 81BBE699C; Sat, 3 Oct 2015 08:14:11 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151003061411.81BBE699C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 3 Oct 2015 08:14:11 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.348 ecstasies of sabotage from 1961 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: <20151003061414.18668.96586@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 348.

One such volume came my way the other day: Adrienne Rich. Snapshots of A Daughter-in-law and what attracted my attention was a poem entitled “Artificial Intelligence”. I had been leafing from the back section and realized that the Notes on the Poems for this particular poem devoted considerable space to quoting from Herbert Simon. And so on to the 1961 poem. The first verse invites readers to imagine contrasting behaviours following a game of chess. Over the chessboard now, Your Artificiality concludes a final check; rests; broods — no — sorts and stacks a file of memories, while I concede the victory, bow, and slouch among my free associations. And so on until the final stanza Still, when they make you write your poems, later on, who’d envy you, force-fed on all those variorum editions of our primitive endeavours, those frozen pemmican language-rations they’ll cram you with? denied our luxury of nausea, you forget nothing, have no dreams. And at this remote perspective, can we imagine an artificial intelligence roaming the bookstalls and remembering intentions that had been forgotten and reconnecting with texts that had been but glimmers on the attention horizon?

I think it's accurate. I would like to add to it. I also think we're dealing with fundamentally different phenomenologies as well: engineering emphasizes the concrete, material, and physically observable and maniupulable, especially that with immediate application and, usually, economic benefit. This describes the TEM in STEM. The other values what are essentially material products devoted to producing or simulating an emotional effect. You can't easily sell the humanities to a group of people who devalue or trivialize emotional content, seeing it at best as a leisure activity, especially when these attitudes are economically rewarded within an institutional environment where there is intense competition for departmental and grant funding and a political environment almost entirely on their side. We might want to keep in mind divisions between theoretical and applied sciences as well, and see close affinities between theoretical physics and a humanities discipline such as philosophy that doesn't exist between engineering and either one of them. A humanist's best bet is to find engineering types who miss playing dungeons and dragons in their parents' basement and want to have some fun. Or maybe they still are, and want to have some fun at work too. Another distasteful route might be to simply point out the obvious implications for business and politics in being able to understand how emotions are manipulated, but this approach reduces humanities study to PR and advertising, maybe at best management, but good luck selling that thinking to management people. History tends to be valued for providing insight into what is "real," which reveals serious limitations on what is considered "real" to begin with. The truth is that emotional content is as inherently valuable to our quality of life as building a bridge and finding a cure for cancer: we need both, and neither are substitutes for the other, but that is exactly the point you can't get people to accept.

I make this observation based on CS departments with which I am affiliated, I have been affiliated, as well as through my experiences with many of my colleagues. There may be other departments and places that take the history seriously, and hopefully we can be enlightened by responses on this and other lists. There are always individuals who make a difference because they are concerned with history, but my observation may reflect the general situation. Even within the topic of “history,” we have a wide field. There is the history of language, relating to semiotics and the concept of analog computing. My favorite history is Georges Ifrah’s “The Universal History of Computing” which does justice to the early mechanical manipulations of memory and automation, including the Antikythera Mechanism. History goes far back well before 1940 when it comes to what characterizes the fundamental nature of computing (e.g., state, memory, control, branching, arithmetic). -paul Paul Fishwick, PhDChair, ACM SIGSIM Distinguished University Chair of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication 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 _______________________________________________ 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 E49F76A50; Sun, 4 Oct 2015 08:41:44 +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 3F8A96A4A; Sun, 4 Oct 2015 08:41:44 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C038F2E4E; Sun, 4 Oct 2015 08:41:40 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151004064140.C038F2E4E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2015 08:41:40 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.351 visiting asst professorship at Mount Holyoke 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: <20151004064144.32027.4489@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 351.

E. R. Lloyd writes in Analogical Investigations (CUP, 2015), is the partitioning into mutually exclusive opposites. The sciences and the humanities are roughly distinguishable, but when re-imagined as enemies we get the well-known caricatures, dangerous mathesis on the one hand, muddle-headed poesis on the other. The cure Lloyd recommends in that quite astonishing book is to realize that reality is multidimensional and to give to the terms we use to describe it "semantic stretch". In the hands of our politicians STEM becomes a monolithic notion with, it is said, immediate practical benefits worth the quite considerable expense. (Leading scientists tell a rather different story inflected by the essential role of untrammelled curiosity-motivated research in the genesis of those practical benefits.) The humanities, in comparison very inexpensive to maintain, are portrayed as a waste of investment, and in the absence of a public story of benefit to the public, this portrayal is believed. Some of us in the humanities react by demonizing the sciences. So on both sides we barricade ourselves from our potential comrades and friends. We all lose. As Paul Fishwick suggests, another cure is history (which in fact stands behind Lloyd's meticulous comparative work in the history of thought in ancient Greece and China). I'm grateful for the pointer to Ifrah's book. My own favourites are Michael S. Mahoney's Histories of Computing (Harvard, 2011) and Vernon Pratt's Thinking Machines: The Evolution of Artificial Intelligence (Blackwell, 1987). I wish the latter of these were still in print!

The computing/digital world is dominated by a particular approach that many people, including many humanists, have come to think is ubiquitous. However, my experience over the last year reveals a desire for something that isn't the norm (which isn't delivering whatever the context) and in these circumstances there is an opportunity to demonstrate a different way, and provide a clear alternative. The lack of meaningful representation helps no one, whether you have a reuse objective, are an historian wondering how to make use of it all, or simply someone in search of something more enlightening, whatever your background. When you show an alternative and demonstrate imaginative outcomes that have significance and relevance and highlight relationships, similarities, contrasts and connections, where previously there was linearity and flat columns and rows, the reaction is one of great excitement and possibility (something that we have, to a certain extent, somehow lost or it has been buried). One important part of the answer is producing real outcomes that speak for themselves and engage everyone because they embed and showcase humanist knowledge which is intrinsically engaging, attractive and can support an ongoing and connected discourse across different groups. While it may have been displaced and disrupted by the technological norm, when revealed it is easily recognised and valued by all. It requires a collaboration that extends beyond any particular group and should support those who engage with a wide range of different audiences.

The workshop is appropriate for non-technical cultural heritage and humanities experts who want to represent information contextually on the Web. The workshop will teach how to represent data in a contextual knowledge representation format, the CIDOC CRM, using a unique mapping tool - and explain why more projects and organisations are adopting this approach, using practical examples. No previous knowledge of data mapping or CIDOC CRM is required. A laptop with a reasonably sized screen, and an interest in using the Semantic Web, is required. This might include curators and scholars interested in digital representation and other experts involved in representing cultural heritage information to different audiences. The workshop includes data mapping exercises and learning some technical skills to a basic level.

The conference will address a multitude of topics. Through diverse case studies from all over the world, the conference will showcase ground-breaking technologies and best practice from various archaeological and computer-science disciplines. Archaeological documentation is, to an ever greater extent, born digital. Together with decades of digitalisation of archive material, we now have deep oceans of digital information that can and should be explored. Rivers worth of large data sets come from 3D, GIS, LIDAR, as well as near surface geophysical prospection. The conference will bring together hundreds of participants from around the globe, immersing delegates in parallel sessions, workshops, tutorials and roundtables. The conference will be held at the University of Oslo, Norway, from March 29th to April 2nd 2016. We warmly welcome participants and contributors from every corner of the world to the beautiful capital city of Norway. The harbour city of Oslo houses the spectacular Viking ships, which bravely set sail into the deep oceans some 1200 years ago.

Feel free to forward to any interested party. Best wishes, Orietta ----- Digital Editing Now: Call for digital posters 7-9 January 2016 Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) University of Cambridge Graduate students and early career scholars with interests in digital edition work are invited to submit proposals for digital posters relating to this field. The selected posters (a main page either in web page format, with the option of links to one or two additional pages, or in pdf) will be projected for five-minute presentations during the course of the conference. Those presenting will receive a bursary towards the costs of attendance. Please send your proposal (maximum 200 words) to Tom Taylor (tmt24@cam.ac.uk) by Friday 23 October 2015. In recent years, there has been a significant shift in scholarly culture and funding strategies towards digital formats for edition projects. This is driven by the potential for new forms of production, presentation and access that the digital promises. And it involves a reassessment of the conventions that have determined editorial practice in the age of print. This conference will gather interested parties together to exchange ideas about the state of digital editing and its future potential. It will also provide the opportunity to ask critical questions about the limits of the digital. How should we place ourselves relative to fundamental issues of authority/openness, durability/fluidity? Can we establish a set of ideal types for digital editorial method, or would its optimal strengths rather lie in more hybrid forms, including a productive mode of cohabitation with the print formats that it appears to want to supersede? While the conference will be fully open in historical and disciplinary terms, the exchange that is proposed here will be focused around four key sets of concerns, which cut across differences of material and context: 1. Material texts and digital forms What possibilities does digital editing provide to do justice to the material character of the texts it seeks to present, to their physical bedding and the means of their inscription? Can it find creative and meaningful ways of getting close to the experience of the archive? And how does it respond to the need for the kinds of durability and reliability associated with its physical counterparts? 1. Editorial agents and agencies (providers, in various roles, and users) Digital editions are the collaborative product of a range of types of expertise. They bring different agents together (academics, archivists, information technologists) in what can be a delicate process of negotiation between systems of knowledge. At the same time, users – expert and otherwise – experience, and in some cases reconfigure, digital editions, in various ways. How can the collective agency of these networks be made most fruitful? 1. Chronology and topography (genetic and diplomatic methods) Critical editions always have to deal with the tension between presenting the historical genesis of their material and the spatial lay-out of its iterations. How can digital functions convey the relations between the two in dynamic and enlightening fashion? 1. Digital edition and performance practices Digital editing offers the means to open up and enliven a range of different cultural materials. How might it provide a new basis for performance practices, in both live and digitally mediated forms, and in combinations of the two? And how might this extend beyond material self-evidently for performance (music, drama) to other types of resource? *********************************** Dr Orietta Da Rold University Lecturer in Literature and the Material Text: 1100 to 1500 Faculty of English 9 West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DP 01223 335089 Fellow of St John´s College Cambridge, CB2 1TP 01223 768181 od245@cam.ac.uk --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2015 20:07:04 +0100 From: Melissa Terras Subject: im]Possible Constellations: Publishing in the digital age In-Reply-To: <8BC7B545-3B92-448A-9956-460981D8196F@cam.ac.uk> im]Possible Constellations: Publishing in the digital age Saturday 31 October 2015, 11.30-5, University of Lincoln * ATTENDANCE IS FREE, and includes the option of attending a very special lights, lasers and sound event at Lincoln Castle, part of Frequency Festival of Digital Culture 2015 and the Magna Carta 800 anniversary celebrations, starting at 7pm. See http://www.eventbrite.com/e/impossible-constellations-publishing-in-the-digital-age-tickets-18730234636 This symposium, supported as part of the AHRC-funded Academic Book of the Future project, considers the possibilities for the circulation, publication and exhibition of new ideas in the digital age, aiming to challenge and expand current perceptions of what high quality research outputs might look like in the 21st century, particular for those working in media subjects. Our keynote speaker is Catherine Grant from the University of Sussex, a highly respected champion and producer of the video essay format. She established (and continues to curate for) the open access campaigning website Film Studies For Free, and the Audiovisualcy video group, and is also founding editor of the academic digital publishing platform REFRAME. Grant has published widely on theories and practices of film authorship and intertextuality, and has edited volumes on world cinema, Latin American cinema, digital film and media studies, and the audiovisual essay. A relatively early and prolific adopter of the online short video form, she is founding co-editor of [in]Transition: Journal of Videographic Film and Moving Image Studies. This new peer-reviewed publication was awarded the Society for Cinema and Media Studies’ Anne Friedberg Innovative Scholarship Award of Distinction for 2015. MONOGRAPHIC? VIDEOGRAPHIC? PLURIGRAPHIC? TOWARDS (AN) ENRICHED MEDIA STUDIES In her presentation Catherine Grant will examine current multimodal approaches to research and digital publishing in film and media studies. She will focus on two recent examples of audiovisual essays published online alongside written texts to argue that not only would film and media studies benefit from moving "Beyond the Book" as a presentational mode, but also from embracing the new networked and digitally enriched research methods and processes that lead to these enriched scholarly media forms, too. This event,featuring speakers engaged in the commissioning, publishing, creation, archiving and housing of digital publications, is also part of the programme for the third edition of the Frequency Festival of Digital Culture (23 Oct-1st Nov 2015). Frequency Festival is a partnership event that involves the University plus a range of city organisations and which receives support from the Arts Council, Foyle Foundation and local authorities. Projects discussed as part of this event will include examples of digital ‘practice-as-research’ exhibited as part of Frequency Festival. As part of the event schedule, participants will have the opportunity to explore the Festival trail throughout the city, and will be offered complementary tickets to the provocative and immersive digital projection extravaganza at Lincoln Castle as the final event of the magnificent Magna Carta 800 anniversary celebrations. ** In short, our debate will focus on: • what it means to create and share ideas in the digital age, drawing attention to different forms of digital publishing; • what it means to be an ‘author/creator’ in an age of increasing digital collaboration; • what it means to be a ‘reader/consumer/participant’ of such outputs and should be of interest to creative media practitioners, academics, publishers, commissioners, students ... anyone interested in debating the changing shape of publication in the digital age. www.frequency.org.uk http://academicbookfuture.org/ * Thanks to Virgin East Coast, a special direct ‘Festival’ train service from London to Lincoln will be available on Sat 31st Oct (leaving London at 9.10am, arriving Lincoln at 11.03) at super-discounted rate. Additionally, a free upgrade to first class, with symposium/Festival goodie bags, will be available on request. For those who need to return to London the same day, there’s a direct service that leaves Lincoln at 5.15pm arriving at 7.11pm. ** The One, The Few, The Many, by the seeper digital arts collective (www.seeper.com), will offer an incredible immersive digital version of Lincoln Castle, illuminating the dynamics of individual and collective power, past and present.

The immediate need was to replace the term 'retarded child' in the acts, but that there were many other applications became obvious. A brief account of this can be found at: http://ejlt.org/article/view/15/20 and http://what.csc.villanova.edu/~cassel/2500/S2008/Law4.pdf [pdf] My googling has returned little of substance. So my first question is whether the members of this list can provide further information of this project. But my more interesting question is whether this has registered in the Digital Humanities, and in its histories of computerised textual analysis?

We welcome applications from graduates in the arts and humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and life sciences who wish to pursue a PhD in visual science or visual culture. It is expected that candidates will have a strong first degree in a relevant discipline (2.1 minimum), together with an excellent Master's qualification, also in a relevant field. Students for whom visual culture generously defined is integral to their research may apply to any of the University's departments. Students need to be accepted by a department first to be considered for an award. Applicants are encouraged to discuss their applications with potential supervisors if they wish. The full supervisory team will however only be finalised after an offer has been made. Successful applicants will participate in the scheme's activities, such as the summer school in July each year, which they will help to design and organize. There is a two-stage application process for the Programme: 1. Two formal applications to both the University (online) and to the Programme (supplementary form to complete). 2. Selection day for shortlisted candidates, which will be held in Durham on 14 - 15 March 2016. Travel expenses (within the UK) and one night's accommodation will be provided for those invited to attend. STAGE 1: Formal applications The deadline for both formal applications to Durham University is 15 JANUARY 2016. Please ensure that you submit both the online form and supplementary page.

The aims of the consortium are: - to provide a forum for students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers; - to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas; - to support students with information and advice on academic, research and industrial careers. The DC is intended for PhD students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Preference will be given to students satisfying these criteria, but well-motivated applications from students who are at earlier or later stages of their doctoral studies will still be considered. 2) STUDENT SPONSORSHIPS Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, KR will provide registration and accommodation for selected students. We expect to be able to provide support for all Doctoral Consortium participants that volunteer to help with local organization. Additionally, there is dedicated NSF funding to help cover the travel costs of Doctoral Consortium participants from US universities. More details on student support can be found on the KR website. 3) APPLICATION SUBMISSION Applications must be submitted by email to the following address: kr2016dc@gmail.com Each application must contain the following materials: - Thesis summary. A description of the problem being addressed, your motivation for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research, the progress to date (what you have already achieved and what remains to be done), and related work. It must be four pages maximum in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php). - Curriculum Vitae. A description of your background and relevant experience (research, education, employment). - Letter of recommendation. A letter from your thesis advisor that states that he/she supports your participation in the DC. - Indication of whether you request a sponsored studentship, and if so, whether you volunteer to help with local organization during KR, DL, and NMR. Optionally, you can suggest 3-5 potential mentors with similar research interests as you, who could give you good advice on technical aspects of your work, and/or your career. The most preferred way of submission is to combine the thesis summary and the letter of recommendation (and, optionally, the list of suggested mentors) into a single PDF document. If you cannot do that, archive the documents into a single zip file. 4) IMPORTANT DATES - 21 December 2015: Deadline for application - 15 January 2015: Acceptance notification - 25-29 April 2015: Doctoral consortium For further information, please contact the Doctoral Consortium chairs: Meghyn Bienvenu, CNRS (meghyn.bienvenu@lirmm.fr) Joohyung Lee, Arizona State University (joolee@asu.edu) -- Ivan José Varzinczak Department of Computer Science - Institute of Mathematics Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Homepage: http://member.acm.org/~ijv _______________________________________________ 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 0BF666A7B; Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:24:54 +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 328B86989; Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:24:54 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8A6CF6969; Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:24:51 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151008072451.8A6CF6969@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:24:51 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.361 repeating the Semantic Mapping Workshop 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: <20151008072454.32590.10075@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 361. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2015 17:40:47 +0100 From: Dominic Oldman Subject: Re: 29.357 Semantic Mapping Workshop to be repeated? & losing the humanities Dear Prof Boyarin, There has been significant interest in this workshop (and possibly funding) so the short answer is yes. The next one will probably be hosted at the British Museum, the next may be in Italy but I am not too sure. The easiest way of getting a notification is Twitter (@Researchspace). If I may I would like to connect these workshops (and other organised by other members of my community) to the "losing the humanities" thread, because the attendees of these workshops are a mixture of academics, and cultural heritage professionals/scholars and I think this is important. We now have methods (by 'we' I mean a number of different people, projects and institutions - particularly FORTH in the Crete) for Semantic mapping at a high contextual level (with supporting tools for subject experts to embed implicit knowldge) and which supports Semantic harmonisation/integration across highly heterogeneous sources. Additionally we also create (through reasoning) another layer of Semantic abstraction, still connected to the underlying representation, that supports a consistent user interface with appropriate recall and precision, whatever the underlying data, without affecting the meaning of the data or its terminology. This abstraction also provides an indication of the quality of any given dataset by reporting the variety of its internal relationships between 6 key entities (post mapping).This allows accessible exploration of data without losing the ability to dive into detail. It sort of provides the interface to go between micro and macro and can be adjusted for more or less specialisation.We are building tools that reflect this ability currently. Using these methods we can use the same high quality representation model with different users (from specialist academics to school children) and therefore the possibility of cross discipline and even cross sector collaboration. One objective relates to addressing fragmentation and approaches which have high technology dependencies but use low levels of contextual content and knowledge representation. This inevitably creates a problem for knowledge building within the humanities (which in parts the 'sciences' has, to some extent, been resolved). However, with a focus on information sources, including knowledge institutions, there is a possibility of a more joined up approach. In terms of knowledge institutions what matters is not necessarily that the canonical record has a wide range of knowledge but that the representation of knowledge it does have contains the contextual information that is crucial for it to qualify as a valid and useful research object. This canonical link (idenitfication) is an important aspect of open world digital collaboration, and, if built upon by academic researchers, it provides a more stable platform for knowledge building and perhaps a route for knowledge preservation if the relationship is two way. Inter-disciplinary collaboration should include knowledge Institutions and needs to be backed up by good digital curation. Thanks and apologies for reply to two threads in one.

These are designed to help us handle an increased volume of submissions that has caused delays in our reviewing and feedback to authors. To enable us to continue to provide high-quality review feedback, and to reduce the time between submission and review decision, we will be making the following changes: • We are introducing a two-stage peer review process. Until now, DHQ’s peer reviewers and editors have been providing detailed revision feedback on all submissions, including many that are not yet fully framed as articles or fall outside the journal’s scope. In our new process, the first stage of peer review will identify articles that meet the basic criteria of submission as outlined on our submission guidelines. We will send these on for detailed feedback from reviewers. Submissions that are at a more preliminary stage and those that are outside DHQ’s scope will receive early brief feedback advising them on how to prepare the article for resubmission if appropriate. We will continue to offer mentoring to authors who are new to the field or would like to receive guidance of any kind. • We will consider articles in cohorts at two-month intervals (deadlines are listed below), which will enable us to streamline the editorial and review workflow. These cohorts will apply only to the review process; articles will continue to be published as soon as they are ready. Submission deadlines are every other month on the 15th of the month (except for November) starting in January: January 15, March 15, May 15, July 15, September 15, November 1. Articles submitted before the deadline are welcome but will not be considered until the deadline. We welcome comments on this new process and we will be monitoring the impact of these changes on our article handling and on publishing outcomes. We also invite new peer reviewers to join our team, to help us manage the growing volume of research our field is generating. Please visit http://openjournals.neu.edu/ojs/dhq/user/register to register. Guidelines for peer reviewers can be found at http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/submissions/peerReviewing.html. Our next submission deadline will be January 15, 2016. Articles already submitted prior to this announcement will not affected by this change. We'd like to extend our warm thanks to all of our peer reviewers who work so hard on behalf of the community, and also to our authors and readership for their support and engagement. We couldn't do it without you! best, Julia Julia Flanders Editor in chief, Digital Humanities Quarterly Northeastern University _______________________________________________ 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 A22226A8C; Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:35:50 +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 DE4916A14; Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:35:49 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 346D06A14; Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:35:47 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151008073547.346D06A14@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2015 09:35:47 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.363 poetry and problem-solving 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: <20151008073550.2644.16894@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 363. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2015 08:22:28 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Adrienne Rich and Herbert Simon My thanks to Francois Lachance for pointing us to Adrienne Rich's poem, "Artificial Intelligence" (1961), in Snapshots of a Daughter-in-Law. What drew my attention especially is the fact that (as Francois pointed out) she bothers in her notes on the poems to quote from Herbert Simon's chapter on "Heuristic Problem Solving" in his book The New Science of Management Decisions (1st edn, 1960), as follows: > A GENERAL PROBLEM-SOLVING PROGRAM > > Computer programs have been written that enable computers to discover > proofs for theorems in logic and geometry, to play chess, to design > motors... to compose music.... From almost all of them, whether intended > as simulations or not, we learn something about human problem solving, > thinking, and learning. > > The first thing we learn... is that we can explain these human processes > without postulating mechanisms at subconscious levels that are different > from those that are partly conscious and partly verbalized.... The > secret of problem solving is that there is no secret. She, "sulking, clearly, in the great tradition / of human waste", in the residue that Simon's heuristic method would discard, asks of his General Problem Solver, "Why not / dump the whole reeking snarl / and let you solve me once for all?" Now here is an historiographical challenge: first, can we recover (Collingwood would say, re-enact) her response to computing in 1961? and then, crucially, can we extrapolate from it commentary on the situation we are in? Unless we can do that, someone more rash than I might say, we're a bit young for the job. Comments?

In-Reply-To: <20151006065333.876F06A1E@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard and HUMANIST, It gratifies me more than I deserve to see the considered opinions of everyone who has written to this thread -- which is not to exclude those who have only read and pondered, which itself (I try and remind myself) is more than I am due. :-) To Rens Bod I would suggest he puts his finger on it when he takes up my suggestion that the humanities have no "guarantee of return". He points to ample evidence that investment in education in the humanities pays for itself many times over. I believe it. Yet I hold to the idea that it is in refusing the guarantee -- not in refusing the return -- that the humanities make themselves distinctive. Indeed I am very sympathetic to the notion that there is and should be a humanistic medicine, humanistic law, humanistic engineering -- name your three hot topics, I dunno, robotics, biotechnology, app development. This sort of medicine, law, building or business would be practiced not only for the supposed promises and gains of these professions, but also in service of advance and development in other (perhaps not "accountable") ways, perhaps sometimes having to do with connection and curiosity. Of course I recognize that this definition of "humanities as disciplines that make no promises", however serviceable as a counter-object for thinking, really has little to do with the real world of humanities disciplines or especially departments, as we actually find them. There is a gap here, which will be filled by ideology if it is filled with nothing else; that is, there is a question of value. As has been pointed out, part of the problem is the muteness of the humanities in the face of a discourse that has already prejudiced the question of value, casting it into its own distorted form -- the form of a uniform and intolerant society, which finds curiosity and questioning to be threatening, where the books are balanced (or at least well-cooked), and where every transaction comes out zero sum. However the point of the humanities as I understand them (if there can be a point to something with no guarantee of return) is not to avoid questions of value or find ways of deferring them, but to pose them directly and deliberately, in view of the actual world we live in with its actual history. Of course, given the human propensity for self-delusion -- to say nothing of our more inevitable limitations as thinking creatures, such as our way of filling in our gaps in knowledge with suppositions, then pretending they are not even there -- this is not an easy task. Not in the least. This is only one reason why humanities disciplines need the sciences, linguistics, psychology, logic, philosophy and the arts. We keep each other honest, even when we can't entirely remedy one another's ignorance. (How many lifetimes do I get? I sometimes want to know.) I'm also afraid, however, that Rens is also correct to be skeptical that any argument, however well made, is likely to resolve the issues here (and not only the issue of public or government support of university departments but everything else). These people (the "Them" as Tim Smithers has it) have already decided there is a pie to be divided, and are seeing to it that they get their slices. Perhaps some sort of sustained propaganda campaign would help, or perhaps not. I keep thinking the attitude problem is more profound. I would like to shake them and say, not only is there more pie, but that is not the only tasty thing we can put on the menu, if we only share freely, there will be more than anyone can ever eat. (And more work for bakers too, if we want.) So much for idle fantasy; fortunately Hartmut Krecht offers something more constructive: "If there is a future for the humanities, it will probably depend on our capacity to find an over-arching pattern that will relate the separate fields to each other, interdisciplinarily and interculturally, so that new practices may be devised that are of practical value." I can heartily assent to this, even if I persist in my madness in thinking the humanities should (and on some level must) be held exempt on some level -- on the deepest level. (But as you will not fail to point out, so also should the sciences.) But I do not believe such an over-arching pattern will be one that presumes to guarantee or even foresee the value it demonstrates. My own case is exemplary. While my fields of study in school (Classics and English literature) had confessedly no practical use, my subsequent career and work has ironically made me qualified to offer (to paying customers, and among other technology-related services) a most practical-minded, vocational training in the use, design and construction of technological "solutions" that didn't exist back then -- but which are vital to their businesses now. And which, not entirely incidentally, do have their challenging intellectual aspects as well. How else should I have prepared for that? I am also unsure that the humanities will or should find the pattern in anything specifically or necessarily "digital". Assuming the impending collapse of civilization can be rescheduled, I am confident that once current fads and fashions have made way for whatever comes next, digital technologies will persist as a platform and instrument for (good and bad) humanistic scholarship, however it is practiced (and by whomever) in years and decades to come. "DH", I very much hope and expect, will be the phenomenon of a moment, just as "Humanities Computing" was. The term will survive on some labs, centers, curricula and associations; but it will become increasingly hollow, part of the background, yesterday's thing. But the digital will take care of its own: in contrast to "DH", digital humanities (even fairly narrowly conceived) won't slow any more than humanities computing did. I see what we now call "digital" becoming more and more bound up in what we used to call "literate" -- which isn't, or isn't only, digital. Maybe there is a hint of a solution in Hartmut's citation of "Chinese Humanities" as something purportedly on the rise in China. In their own various histories, perhaps the most dismaying if perennial aspect of all our disciplines has been the way they have been used as occasions and masks for motives of nationalism and empire, in their more divisive, exploitative forms. (What are the humanities for, if they don't prove how great we are?) Surely the time has come when that has to stop. Maybe the core of the humanities must be in the idea that these are the disciplines in which we study -- and learn to value and appreciate -- not ourselves, but each other. (Know yourself, yes, but to know yourself, you must love someone or something else. This implies, among other things, the Chinese Humanities Institute should be active in outreach and exchange activities.) What could be more practical than that? Could such an inchoate impulse be fashioned into something more coherent? Something not (or not only) digital but transnational and global?

Call for papers for the International Committee for the History of Technology’s 43rd Annual Meeting in Porto, Portugal, 26-30 July 2016 Technology, Innovation, and Sustainability: Historical and Contemporary Narratives Deadline for proposals is 25 January 2016 Innovation and sustainability have become key words of our everyday life, extending from political and economic discourse to teaching curricula and from the lay public to academia. However, the use of these terms is often abstract and simplistic, ignoring the density of their interrelationships in different geographic, historical and civilizational contexts, and the boomerang character of today’s world. The 43rd ICOHTEC meeting aims at addressing this complex relationship by encouraging papers that contribute to a deeper understanding of the multilayer cultural and material built meaning of innovation and sustainability and on the various roles played by technology in enabling or preventing such interplay. 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 main theme embraces the concepts of technology, innovation and sustainability as organizing principles, thus perceiving them as actors in the building of today’s globalized society. The programme committee suggests the following non-exhaustive sub-themes for the consideration of session organisers and contributors of individual papers, and posters: ● Routes of innovation: the changing relationship between centres and peripheries (north-south; west-east) ● Readdressing technology’s conceptual topics: from diffusionism to appropriation ● Innovating in imperial settings: western dominance, indigenous agency and go-betweens ● Rethinking global technology governance: how to make innovation work for society ● Technology, nature and power: postcolonial perspectives on innovation ● Food, environment and agriculture: industrial and cultural approaches to sustainability ● Innovation and sustainability patterns in Europe and elsewhere ● Identities in the face of innovations and environmental crises ● Linking the territory; mobility patterns and environmental choices ● "The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse": balancing urban and rural territories ● From grey to green: sustainable energy ● Inventing new consumers: innovation, sustainability and consumption ● The Big Brother syndrome: privacy in open societies ● The Grey Goo syndrome: risk and ethical choices in nuclear, biomedical, and nano technologies ● The changing historiography of innovation ● Sustainable narratives of crises: articulating disasters and challenges ● Green home in green city: sustainable architecture and urban planning ● Re-inventing health in globalized world ● Displaying the past or teaching the future? In quest for sustainable museum of technology 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 must be in English, and should be submitted electronically by 25 January 2016 via our website www.icohtec.org/annual-meeting-2016.html. For suggestions about preparing your submission and the conference presentation, please consult the guidelines on http://www.icohtec.org/proposal-guidelines.html www.icohtec.org/proposal-guidelines.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. If you have any questions related to the scientific programme, paper, poster or session proposals, please, do not hesitate to contact Sławomir Łotysz, the chair of the programme committee, at s.lotysz@gmail.com.

We welcome proposals addressing diachronic issues under any type of approach and methodology, provided that they highlight the contribution of empirical evidence retrieved from treebanks in achieving meaningful results. MOTIVATION AND AIMS Over the last two decades, treebanks have become an increasingly useful instrument for data-driven study of linguistic structures at various levels. The proliferation of treebanks has led to a very large number of resources available for different languages, which can support comparative research of various issues cross-linguistically. In recent years, a growing number of treebanks has also become available for ancient languages and for different historical stages of the same language: the York-Toronto-Helsinki corpus (http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~lang22/YcoeHome1.htm) and the Penn Corpora of Historical English (https://www.ling.upenn.edu/hist-corpora/) for English, Tromsø Old Russian and OCS Treebank (https://nestor.uit.no) and RRuDi (https://www.slawistik.hu-berlin.de/de/member/meyerrol/subjekte/rrudi) for Russian, PROIEL (http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/research/projects/proiel/) for various ancient Indo-European languages and recently extended to host treebanks for medieval stages of Romance and Germanic languages, Perseus Latin and Ancient Greek Dependency Treebanks (http://nlp.perseus.tufts.edu/syntax/treebank/) for Latin and Ancient Greek, the Index Thomisticus Treebank (http://itreebank.marginalia.it) for Latin, and several others. This allows data extraction aimed to assessing the scope and the effects of diachronic developments, managing a large amount of data and retrieving information whose relevance can then be evaluated through statistical methods. Possible issues that can be tackled through diachronic treebanks are potentially numerous and of different nature, and include increasing or decreasing productivity of syntactic or morphological constructions, and, most interesting, interrelationships between different changes that have previously been considered unrelated or whose interrelation is otherwise hard to prove. Possible TOPICS include (but are not limited to): - historical developments of constructions as evidenced by data extracted from diachronic treebanks; - suitability of different types of treebanks (constituent-based vs. dependency-based) for research on specific diachronic changes; - correlations between developments in different areas of a language’s grammar; - similarities and differences between parallel developments of similar changes in different languages; - how evidence from already known and documented diachronic change can give input for annotation; - how semantic and/or pragmatic information can be supplied in order to better understand the rationale of changes highlighted by data extracted from treebanks; - specific issues raised by the development of diachronic treebanks; - methods and tools to build and access diachronic treebanks; - issues in data selection for representativeness purposes; - issues pertaining to scarce and non-standardised data CALL FOR ABSTRACTS We invite you to submit abstracts up to 300 words (references not included) describing original, unpublished research related to the topics of the workshop. Abstracts should be in an editable format (e.g. .doc or .docx; no pdf will be considered), and should be sent to all workshop organizers: - hanne.m.eckhoff@uit.no - silvia.luraghi@unipv.it - marco.passarotti@unicatt.it The DEADLINE FOR THE SUBMISSION of the short abstract is NOVEMBER 15, 2015. Abstracts will be evaluated by the convenors, and selected abstracts will accompany the workshop proposal. We will notify you of inclusion in the workshop proposal when we submit it on Nov. 25th. Note that if the workshop has been accepted, you will also have to prepare a full abstract and submit it to be reviewed by the SLE scientific committee. The deadline for the submission of full abstracts is January 15, 2016.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2015 11:44:45 -0400 From: "Matthew K. Gold" Subject: CFP: Debates in the Digital Humanities 2017 (Abstracts due 11/2/15) Hi All, Please forward widely and please consider submitting!! *CFP: Debates in the Digital Humanities 2017 (Abstracts due 11/2/15)* http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/cfps/cfp_2017_ddh Matthew K. Gold and Lauren Klein, Editors Deadline for Abstracts: November 2, 2015 Debates in the Digital Humanities A book series from the University of Minnesota Press *Debates in the Digital Humanities* seeks to anthologize the best new work in the digital humanities (DH) each year. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: The maturation of DH. A full decade after the field’s (re)naming, how might we think about the impact of the field? What are the underlying assumptions of current DH work, and how can they be productively challenged and re-examined? Assessing the impact of specific tools and methods. What research results have various DH tools produced? What kinds of inquiries have they helped make possible, and what kinds of difficulties, complications, or complexities are involved in using them? - DH and its critics. What is the relationship of the field to its critics, either intellectual or institutional? Which issues have been remedied, and which issues remain unaddressed? - DH, diversity, and difference. How should DH account for diversity and difference--in terms of race, gender, ability, and other areas--across the communities that it sustains, the audiences it addresses, and the projects it supports? - Who does DH labor? How can the increasingly nuanced conversation surrounding digital labor inform our understanding of the labor involved in doing DH? How might it facilitate the reformation of older practices or the creation of new ones? - DH and activism. How might DH contribute to the analysis of current events that have placed issues of social justice on the national and international stage? - DH Pedagogy. How should the digital humanities be taught? When should or shouldn’t DH be taught? What role does DH have to play in various curricula and disciplines? - DH, the disciplines, and allied fields. How should DH be framed in relation to other humanities disciplines and departments? How do (or might) allied fields such as STS, design, computational social science, information science, and the history of computing inform or be informed by the debates in the digital humanities? - DH, libraries, and LIS schools. How is DH being integrated into 21st-century libraries? How should it be? To what extent should the research and teaching of DH and LIS programs be aligned? - DH and institutional contexts--what does DH look like at different educational levels and in institutional types? - What shared visions exist between DH initiatives and GLAM institutions? What institutional, political, and disciplinary divides complicate those visions? - DH and its publics. How is DH practiced (or how should it be) when focused on publics outside the academy? What does DH look like when focused on civic advocacy and action? - Histories and futures of the digital. How might alternate (or additional) genealogies of the field challenge existing formations of DH and suggest future possibilities? In addressing these and other debates, submissions should take an argumentative stance, advocating clearly and explicitly from a particular point of view. Scholars and practitioners from across the disciplines (regardless of rank, position, or institutional affiliation) are invited to submit 300-word abstracts on these or other topics by *November 2, 2015* to the series editor, Matthew K. Gold (mgold@gc.cuny.edu) and associate editor, Lauren Klein (lauren.klein@lmc.gatech.edu). Collaboratively authored submissions are welcome. The *Debates in the Digital Humanities* editorial team will review all abstracts, and authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit full essays by January 15th, 2016. The team will consult with the authors of selected abstracts about the length of their contributions, which will range from 2000 to 8000 words. We also welcome nominations of blog posts or other short-form pieces that address the above and related issues. As the series aims to introduce fully conceived scholarship on issues of pressing importance to the field, this volume will operate on a compressed production schedule. Contributors will be expected to participate in peer-to-peer and editorial review during Spring 2016; revised essays will be due April 1st 2016. The volume will be published in print and online in an open-access edition in January 2017. *Debates in the Digital Humanities* is a hybrid print/digital publication stream that explores new debates as they emerge. The call for contributions for the 2018 volume will be announced in September 2016. For future announcements and news about the series, see http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/news and the twitter hashtag #dhdebates. -- Matthew K.

Two people are interviewed, economical questions are of course at stake, as well as the small size of our country.

Tagung des Verbands "Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum e. V." findet vom 07. bis 12. Maerz 2016 unter dem Leitthema "Modellierung - Vernetzung -“ Visualisierung: Die Digital Humanities als faecheruebergreifendes Forschungsparadigma" an der Universitaet Leipzig statt. Ausgerichtet wird sie von Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Burr (Institut fuer Romanistik) und Prof. Dr. Gerhard Heyer (Institut fuer Informatik) Call for Papers I. Inhalte Der Verband „Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum (DHd) e. V.“ bittet um die Einreichung von Abstracts zur dritten Jahrestagung seit seiner Gruendung. In der internationalen Tradition solcher Tagungen bitten wir um Beitraege in der ganzen Breite des Fachgebiets. Fuer das Leitthema “Modellierung – Vernetzung – Visualisierung: Die Digital Humanities als faecheruebergreifendes Forschungsparadigma” sind besonders die folgenden Themenbereiche relevant: Was sind die Daten der Geisteswissenschaften? Wie muessen die Daten der Geisteswissenschaften (digitalisierte bzw. digitale Texte, Bilder, Musik, Audio, Filme / Videos etc.) aufgearbeitet und vorgehalten werden, um sie ueber die Faecher hinweg nicht nur fuer unterschiedliche, sondern auch derzeit noch unbekannte Fragestellungen nutzen zu koennen? Wie lassen sich die nur in Ausnahmefaellen widerspruchsfreien, eindeutigen und konsistenten geisteswissenschaftlichen Daten so modellieren, untereinander und mit externen Daten vernetzen und visualisieren, dass es nicht nur zu einer Pluralisierung von Perspektiven auf die Artefakte kommen, sondern dass auch ein neues, vernetztes und damit umfassenderes Wissen ueber diese Artefakten generiert und praesentiert werden kann? Welche Relevanz hat diese Modellierung, Vernetzung und Visualisierung fuer die Geistesartefakte selbst und fuer den Gewinn reproduzierbarer wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse ueber sie? Wie muessen virtuelle, integrative und interaktive Forschungs-, Kommunikations- und Praesentationsumgebungen aussehen, damit sie der Umsetzung des faecheruebergreifenden Forschungsparadigmas nuetzen, die Schaffung und Darstellung von Wissen ermoeglichen und eine aktive Beteiligung der Oeffentlichkeit an diesen Prozessen erlauben? Unabhaengig von dieser Schwerpunktsetzung freuen wir uns auch ueber Beitraege zu allen Bereichen der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften. Dazu gehoeren unter anderem: - Beispiele fuer disziplinspezifische Forschungsprojekte in der ganzen Breite der Geisteswissenschaften, sowohl in ihren objektbezogenen (Archaeologie, Ur- und Fruehgeschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Musikwissenschaft etc.) als auch in ihren textbezogenen Auspraegungen. - Alle Aspekte der Modellierung geisteswissenschaftlicher Inhalte und Forschungsprozesse, Probleme des Markups und anderer Ansaetze zur Formalisierung von Inhalten, insbesondere auch im Bereich der semantischen Technologien. - Aspekte der Nutzung von Big Data-Datenpools fuer geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung. - Modelle und Praxiserfahrungen von Curricula und Ausbildungsgaengen im Bereich der DH. - Kuratorische Aspekte digitaler Verfahren, Modelle der Kooperation von Wissenschaft und Gedaechtnisinstitutionen (Bibliotheken, Archive, Museen). - Neue Formen der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation, Veraenderung des Publikationswesens. - Durch innovative Softwarewerkzeuge ermoeglichte neue methodische Ansaetze. - Daten sind mehr als Text: 3D- und Multimedia-Anwendungen, Virtual Reality, digitale Kunst uvm. II. Formales Es koennen eingereicht werden: - Poster (Abstract von maximal 750 Woertern). - Vortraege (Abstract von maximal 1500 Woertern). - Sektionen mit mehreren Beitraegen (drei Vortraege pro Sektion, ein Abstract pro Vortrag, ein zusaetzliches Abstract von ca. 500 Woertern, das die uebergeordnete Fragestellung der Sektion beschreibt). - Panels (minimal 3, maximal 6 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer, ein Abstract von maximal 1500 Woertern). - Vor der Konferenz stattfindende Workshops (Vorschlag von maximal 1500 Woertern). Bildunterschriften und Bibliographie sind in der jeweils angegebenen Wortzahl nicht enthalten. Fuer die Einreichung der Abstracts muessen Sie sich auf https://www.conftool.pro/dhd2016 registrieren und eine mit dem DHConvalidator-Webservice erstellte dhc-Datei zur Begutachtung einreichen.

I have been following the Losing the Humanities thread with great interest, but was surprised that this important clarification of the situation in Japan by Kenn Nakata Steffensen at the University of Tokyo, published by the Times Higher Education Supplement on 30 September, hasn’t been mentioned: "Recent news coverage paints an alarming picture of the higher education scene in Japan. According to reports, “many” social sciences and humanities faculties are set to close at the behest of Japan’s government following a letter from the minister of education. It has variously been referred to as an “order”, a “decree”, a “directive” and a “request”. The reality is that not one of the universities in question is currently contemplating such closures. The article linked to above refers only to social science and humanities faculties, but the main target of reform is the 10 national teacher training universities, for reasons to do with demographic change, academic standards and perceived societal needs. Social science and humanities faculties are also decreasing their student intake, and some will see lower levels of staffing. The coverage also misrepresents the relationship between the government and universities. Japanese ministers of education do not have unchecked power to shut down entire faculties by decree from one academic year to the next. As in most other countries, the reality of education and research policy is more plural, fragmented and dialogical. When taking the size and structure of the university sector in Japan into account, the situation looks far less ominous. There are nearly 800 universities in the country, and the national universities referred to in the reports make up a small elite proportion of this. Japanese universities fall into a small number of publicly owned and funded organisations and a much larger private sector, which accounts for 77 per cent of all universities and some 80 per cent of the undergraduate student body. Public universities are divided into two categories of roughly equal size: 86 national and 92 municipal, city and prefectural institutions. The remaining 605 universities are privately owned and operated, but receive substantial state funding. The circular from the minister, Hakuban Shimomura, to which 17 universities supposedly responded that they will “close liberal arts and social science courses”, was sent only to the national universities. These 17 institutions represent 2 per cent of the universities in Japan. With regard to the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University’s announcements “that they will not comply with the request”, this shows commendable leadership and solidarity on their part, but it can also be seen as a somewhat empty gesture. They and the other prestigious “national seven” universities are not subject to the same medium-term target reviews as the 12 national universities founded or restructured further to the 2004 National University Corporation Law. The latter are obliged to submit plans to the ministry every six years, and failure to obtain approval can in principle lead to loss of accreditation. The ministry is thus more powerful in relation to the national universities incorporated or reincorporated after 2004, which are more closely monitored than the majority of older institutions. Mr Shimomura’s letter to the national universities was sent as a step towards negotiation of the third mid-term plan, which will come into effect next year for the “new” national universities. Tokyo and Kyoto and the other 75 pre-2004 organisations are less exposed to government intervention, although the ministry does hold significant budgetary power. Nevertheless, the overall impact of the 2004 reforms has been to strengthen university autonomy, since they are no longer part of a hierarchical chain of command with the ministry at the top. Coverage has claimed that of the 60 national universities that offer courses in these disciplines, 26 have confirmed that they will either close or scale back their relevant faculties. The source for this claim is the blog Social Science Space hosted by the publisher SAGE, which in turn cites the newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. What the newspaper wrote was that 26 universities “plan to restructure their humanities departments” and that 17 of them “will stop recruiting in excess of 1300 new students” to the departments undergoing restructuring. They will not stop recruiting altogether, but will impose stricter limits on admissions to certain departments. The Obunsha Educational Information Center’s projected student recruitment figures for next year confirm that most national universities plan to recruit fewer students in the fields in question and more in science and engineering. The Obunsha report also lists details of organisational restructuring. On the whole, mergers and closures of departments hit education hardest, followed by humanities and social sciences. On the other hand, there are exceptions, such as Fukui University’s opening of a new Faculty of International and Area Studies, and Chiba University’s new Faculty of International Culture. It has been widely reported that the minister suggested the abolition of departments or degrees, but the universities and news media in Japan mention only reorganisation and reduced staff and student numbers. Some departments will be merged or otherwise restructured, and a small number of universities will restrict their intake of undergraduates in certain disciplines. This process has been ongoing for some time as part of the wider National University Reform Plan, so any direct causality between current organisational restructuring and the recent letter is questionable. As Times Higher Education reported, the Science Council of Japan and many other organisations and individuals, including sections of the business community, have voiced strong objections. Mr Shimomura may wish it were not so, but it is beyond the minister’s powers to unilaterally “decree” the closure of university faculties. The decision ultimately lies with the university in question, which is why Japanese journalists have been asking them what their plans were, rather than simply reporting which academic units the minister has closed. Many universities were already restructuring and what the eventual outcome will be depends on a process of dialogue and consultation between the ministry, the universities and other interested parties. Some disciplines and departments may be embattled, but the situation is not as bleak as represented by the coverage, and the regulatory framework ensures that it could not be so. While I believe that the threat of wholesale faculty closure does not exist, that is not to say that there are no threats to the social sciences and humanities in Japan, some of which emanate from the Abe Cabinet. Like many politicians in the UK and elsewhere, Shinzo Abe, Mr Shimomura and other Liberal Democratic Party parliamentarians and ministers have a utilitarian and – in the opinion of their many vocal critics – ill-informed and short-sighted view of higher education and research. They wish to steer students away from social sciences, humanities, education and art to the STEM disciplines and other areas perceived as delivering tangible benefits and where Japan is believed to have comparative advantages. However, research funding allocations by the Japan Society for Promotion of Science over the past decade do not show any radical shift in distribution between the different fields of knowledge. This may change in future, but the social sciences and humanities have received a growing share of overall research funding since 2004. The incumbent Abe Cabinet is both remarkably powerful and politically ambitious by post-war Japanese standards. In the university sector, the ambition is to internationalise education and research to the same level as Germany and to increase the number of universities in the global top 100 to 10 by 2023. Although funding initiatives such as Global 30 and its successor Top Global Universities may tend to favour STEM subjects, they do not radically underprivilege the social sciences and humanities. But no matter how powerful the current government is, its stated objectives for Japan’s universities are unrealistic. The general funding environment and policy priorities do not pose as grave a threat to social scientific and humanities education and research as suggested by THE, but other aspects of the second Abe premiership may.

Many thanks, - charles ess Professor in Media Studies Department of Media and Communication University of Oslo == CaTaC'16: Culture, Technology, Communication: Common world, different futures? Venue: University of West London Dates: June 16-18, 2016 Conference Co-organizers: * José Abdelnour-Nocera, Local host(School of Computing and Technology, University of West London) * Charles Ess, CaTaC Co-chair (Department of Media and Communication, University of Oslo) * Maja van der Velden, CaTaC Co-chair (Department of Informatics, University of Oslo) Programme Committee * Herbert Hrachovec, (Philosophy Department, University of Vienna) * Michele M. Strano, Program Chair (Communication Studies, Bridgewater College) The tenth biennial conference on "Culture, Technology, Communication" (CaTaC)'16 will take place on June 15-17, 2016, at the Brentford site of the University of West London. The Brentford site and nearby Ealing Campus (including hotels and restaurants) are very conveniently located for arrival via Heathrow as well as from London by tube. (For initial orientation, please see: http://www.uwl.ac.uk/about-us/our-location/ealing-site ) CaTaC'16 will be open for papers located within culture, technology, and communication, applying different theoretical and methodological perspectives, genres, and styles. In addition, CaTaC'16 will have three themes: * Culture, Technology, and Communication: Is Another Design Possible? Design is complicit in the creation and sustainment of our unjust, unsafe, and unsustainable world. The technologies, products, and services we design today will shape the lives of generations to come, human as well as nonhuman. For this theme we invite papers that critically explore technologies used today and alternative technology designs and design perspectives that make other futures possible. * Culture, Technology, and Communication in Design for Development For this theme we invite papers that report on and address the main challenges for design and innovation in the Global South. We would also like to see good examples of design for community development in the Global North to understand points of convergence and divergence with experiences in the Global South. * Culture, Technology, and Communication in Practice? We invite papers that have the practice of information and communication technologies in specific cultural contexts as their main focus. Examples include: -- Cultural diversity and global ICTs , e.g., global health information systems, Wikipedia, social media, surveillance and sousveillance, Big Data collection and analysis, etc. -- Global and local cultures of computing , e.g. outsourcing, global development teams; the identity of migrants and the experience of migration; appropriation, creolization, hybridization between cultures and also between technologies; -- The construction of identity using online social media, gaming, and blogging platforms; -- Political activism through social media vis-à-vis governmental and corporate censorship, control of access, etc.; -- Privacy issues in media environments that encourage public identities; -- Additional ethical issues evoked in the design, implementation, usages, and (counter-) responses to ICTs across diverse cultural contexts, especially vis-à-vis efforts to sustain and enhance local cultural identities, practices, norms, etc. Please see our website, http://philo.at/ocs2/index.php/london16/ . Additional conference details, including registration fees, and keynote speakers, will be announced soon on the conference website. Both short (3-5 pages) and long (10-15 pages) original papers are sought for presentation. Panel proposals addressing a specific theme or topic are also encouraged: please include names of committed participants and (provisional) presentation titles. Important Dates: Paper submission for peer-review: February 15, 2016 Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2016 Final papers and panel descriptions due for Conference Proceedings: May 1, 2016 The Conference Proceedings will be published on the conference website with an ISBN number. Authors retain copyright to their papers and are welcome to attach a Creative Commons license indication on their work. Additional conference details, including registration fees, and keynote speakers, will be announced soon on the conference website. We look forward to welcoming you to London next June! - Jose, Michele, Herbert, Charles, and Maja --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2015 22:14:17 +0000 From: David Berry Subject: Information Opacity Informatic Opacity Dr. Zach Blas (Goldsmiths, University of London) Fri 15 October, Arts A103, 4pm-6pm, Falmer Campus, University of Sussex This talk will focus on a developing concept, ‘informatic opacity’, and masked protest as means of defeating surveillance technologies. ‘Informatic opacity’ is an aesthetico-political practice that resists emerging modes of digital capture (such as biometric recognition) and insists on an embodied dimension of life that cannot be fully abstracted by technical processes of calculation and visualisation. Through engaging with Eduoard Glissant’s writings on opacity and transparency, Blas uses his own artwork Facial Weaponisation Suite, a community-based mask-making project that creates ‘collective masks’ for public intervention. These masks elude recognition by facial detection technologies, responding to the pressures of surveillance and resistance. Zach Blas is an artist and writer whose work engages with technology, queerness and politics, and is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London. Blas has exhibited and lectured internationally, most recently at Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City; e-flux, New York; Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane; New Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; and the 2014 Dakar Biennale. Books: Escaping the Face (Rhizome at the New Museum and Sternberg Press, 2016) and Informatic Opacity: The Art of Defacement in Biometric Times(forthcoming). His work has been featured in Artforum, Frieze, Art Papers, Mousse Magaxine, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera America, Wired, and Art Review, in which Hito Steyerl selected him as a 2014 FutureGreat. During Autumn 2015 Blas is a resident at the Delfina Foundation, London. --- Dr. David M. Berry Reader Silverstone 316 School of Media, Film and Music University of Sussex, Falmer, East Sussex.

Perhaps as significant in the long run are the modes of thought > that accompanied or initiated the inventions, for these modes of > thought form the context, the matrix, of the future: novelty is > conceived in familiarity; inventions flow from taking inventories. > (p 20) Were I to quibble with the above I'd pick on the word "thought", substituting perhaps "thought and action". But this small (or is it large?) reservation is not meant to express even a sliver of ingratitude to Pribram for laying out so economically a rationale for a prime task in our discipline. What are these novel modes of thought? How are they novel? By now we should have enough evidence to make some good guesses, I'd think. Comments?

But my point was to draw our common attention on the discourse that one begins to hear in Switzerland, where we have a strong Humanities tradition. The article published in Le Temps last Friday is a total shock for a lot of us here. Next Sunday, we renew our politicians leaders in Switzerland, and it is the first time we see the diminution of Humanities embedded in the political campaign. >> http://www.letemps.ch/opinions/2015/10/09/faut-reduire-sciences-humaines-suisse All the best Claire > Le 12 oct. 2015 à 07:14, Humanist Discussion Group a écrit : > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 373. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2015 13:40:15 +0000 > From: Andrew Prescott > Subject: Re: 29.369 losing the humanities > In-Reply-To: <20151010073007.98988697C@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Thanks to Claire for this. I have been following the Losing the Humanities thread with great interest, but was surprised that this important clarification of the situation in Japan by Kenn Nakata Steffensen at the University of Tokyo, published by the Times Higher Education Supplement on 30 September, hasn’t been mentioned: > > "Recent news coverage paints an alarming picture of the higher education scene in Japan. > > According to reports, “many” social sciences and humanities faculties are set to close at the behest of Japan’s government following a letter from the minister of education. It has variously been referred to as an “order”, a “decree”, a “directive” and a “request”. > > The reality is that not one of the universities in question is currently contemplating such closures. > > The article linked to above refers only to social science and humanities faculties, but the main target of reform is the 10 national teacher training universities, for reasons to do with demographic change, academic standards and perceived societal needs. Social science and humanities faculties are also decreasing their student intake, and some will see lower levels of staffing. > > The coverage also misrepresents the relationship between the government and universities. Japanese ministers of education do not have unchecked power to shut down entire faculties by decree from one academic year to the next. As in most other countries, the reality of education and research policy is more plural, fragmented and dialogical. > > When taking the size and structure of the university sector in Japan into account, the situation looks far less ominous. There are nearly 800 universities in the country, and the national universities referred to in the reports make up a small elite proportion of this. Japanese universities fall into a small number of publicly owned and funded organisations and a much larger private sector, which accounts for 77 per cent of all universities and some 80 per cent of the undergraduate student body. > > Public universities are divided into two categories of roughly equal size: 86 national and 92 municipal, city and prefectural institutions. The remaining 605 universities are privately owned and operated, but receive substantial state funding. > > The circular from the minister, Hakuban Shimomura, to which 17 universities supposedly responded that they will “close liberal arts and social science courses”, was sent only to the national universities. These 17 institutions represent 2 per cent of the universities in Japan. > > With regard to the University of Tokyo and Kyoto University’s announcements “that they will not comply with the request”, this shows commendable leadership and solidarity on their part, but it can also be seen as a somewhat empty gesture. > > They and the other prestigious “national seven” universities are not subject to the same medium-term target reviews as the 12 national universities founded or restructured further to the 2004 National University Corporation Law. The latter are obliged to submit plans to the ministry every six years, and failure to obtain approval can in principle lead to loss of accreditation. > > The ministry is thus more powerful in relation to the national universities incorporated or reincorporated after 2004, which are more closely monitored than the majority of older institutions. Mr Shimomura’s letter to the national universities was sent as a step towards negotiation of the third mid-term plan, which will come into effect next year for the “new” national universities. Tokyo and Kyoto and the other 75 pre-2004 organisations are less exposed to government intervention, although the ministry does hold significant budgetary power. > > Nevertheless, the overall impact of the 2004 reforms has been to strengthen university autonomy, since they are no longer part of a hierarchical chain of command with the ministry at the top. > > Coverage has claimed that of the 60 national universities that offer courses in these disciplines, 26 have confirmed that they will either close or scale back their relevant faculties. The source for this claim is the blog Social Science Space hosted by the publisher SAGE, which in turn cites the newspaper Yomiuri Shimbun. > > What the newspaper wrote was that 26 universities “plan to restructure their humanities departments” and that 17 of them “will stop recruiting in excess of 1300 new students” to the departments undergoing restructuring. They will not stop recruiting altogether, but will impose stricter limits on admissions to certain departments. > > The Obunsha Educational Information Center’s projected student recruitment figures for next year confirm that most national universities plan to recruit fewer students in the fields in question and more in science and engineering. The Obunsha report also lists details of organisational restructuring. On the whole, mergers and closures of departments hit education hardest, followed by humanities and social sciences. On the other hand, there are exceptions, such as Fukui University’s opening of a new Faculty of International and Area Studies, and Chiba University’s new Faculty of International Culture. > > It has been widely reported that the minister suggested the abolition of departments or degrees, but the universities and news media in Japan mention only reorganisation and reduced staff and student numbers. Some departments will be merged or otherwise restructured, and a small number of universities will restrict their intake of undergraduates in certain disciplines. This process has been ongoing for some time as part of the wider National University Reform Plan, so any direct causality between current organisational restructuring and the recent letter is questionable. > > As Times Higher Education reported, the Science Council of Japan and many other organisations and individuals, including sections of the business community, have voiced strong objections. Mr Shimomura may wish it were not so, but it is beyond the minister’s powers to unilaterally “decree” the closure of university faculties. The decision ultimately lies with the university in question, which is why Japanese journalists have been asking them what their plans were, rather than simply reporting which academic units the minister has closed. > > Many universities were already restructuring and what the eventual outcome will be depends on a process of dialogue and consultation between the ministry, the universities and other interested parties. Some disciplines and departments may be embattled, but the situation is not as bleak as represented by the coverage, and the regulatory framework ensures that it could not be so. > > While I believe that the threat of wholesale faculty closure does not exist, that is not to say that there are no threats to the social sciences and humanities in Japan, some of which emanate from the Abe Cabinet. > > Like many politicians in the UK and elsewhere, Shinzo Abe, Mr Shimomura and other Liberal Democratic Party parliamentarians and ministers have a utilitarian and – in the opinion of their many vocal critics – ill-informed and short-sighted view of higher education and research. They wish to steer students away from social sciences, humanities, education and art to the STEM disciplines and other areas perceived as delivering tangible benefits and where Japan is believed to have comparative advantages. > > However, research funding allocations by the Japan Society for Promotion of Science over the past decade do not show any radical shift in distribution between the different fields of knowledge. This may change in future, but the social sciences and humanities have received a growing share of overall research funding since 2004. > > The incumbent Abe Cabinet is both remarkably powerful and politically ambitious by post-war Japanese standards. In the university sector, the ambition is to internationalise education and research to the same level as Germany and to increase the number of universities in the global top 100 to 10 by 2023. > > Although funding initiatives such as Global 30 and its successor Top Global Universities may tend to favour STEM subjects, they do not radically underprivilege the social sciences and humanities. But no matter how powerful the current government is, its stated objectives for Japan’s universities are unrealistic. The general funding environment and policy priorities do not pose as grave a threat to social scientific and humanities education and research as suggested by THE, but other aspects of the second Abe premiership may. > > Kenn Nakata Steffensen is Irish Research Council Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow at the University of Tokyo". > > > Andrew Prescott FSA FRHistS > Professor of Digital Humanities > AHRC Theme Leader Fellow for Digital Transformations > University of Glasgow > > andrew.prescott@glasgow.ac.uk > @ajprescott > 07743895209 _______________________________________________ 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 CBD186BA7; Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:41:27 +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 292206B9E; Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:41:27 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 564826B9E; Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:41:24 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151013074124.564826B9E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 09:41:24 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.380 lectureship at the ANU (Australia) 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: <20151013074127.31497.23838@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 380.

Special relevance in this respect belongs to Natural Language Processing as a core sub-discipline of computer science. Recent advances in statistical approaches to recognising word embeddings and topic models have been leveraged successfully by scholars in diverse areas such as history, literary studies and linguistics. The DARIAH TDA-WG invite participation from practitioners, researchers, scholars and experts in areas including topic modelling, word embedding, literary scholarship, history and the digital humanities. A portion of the workshop will be dedicated to organising and planning future WG activities, both Virtual and Physical. This expert workshop agenda will include position papers and experience reports on the use of corpus analysis and topic modelling tools, their implications in different domains. Two main categories of submission which we invite are: Position Papers, describing opinion and analysis on the most important current and future trends in the theme of the workshop. In particular, there is value in papers which highlight methodological or analytical questions Experience Reports describing projects, studies or experiments involving technologies and topics relevant to the workshop themes. In particular, submissions which describe reusable techniques or data, as well as practical insights are encouraged. For either category of submission, the Working Group invites a 500 word abstract from participants who wish to speak. Please send your abstract to: dariahtdawg@gmail.com Important Dates Deadline for applications for participation and papers: October 23rd, 2015 Notification of successful applicants: November 1st, 2015 The full programme will be published after November 1st.

Through engaging with Eduoard Glissant’s writings on opacity and transparency, Blas uses his own artwork Facial Weaponisation Suite, a community-based mask-making project that creates ‘collective masks’ for public intervention. These masks elude recognition by facial detection technologies, responding to the pressures of surveillance and resistance. Zach Blas is an artist and writer whose work engages with technology, queerness and politics, and is currently a Lecturer in the Department of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London. Blas has exhibited and lectured internationally, most recently at Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City; e-flux, New York; Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane; New Museum, New York; Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; and the 2014 Dakar Biennale. Books: Escaping the Face (Rhizome at the New Museum and Sternberg Press, 2016) and Informatic Opacity: The Art of Defacement in Biometric Times(forthcoming). His work has been featured in Artforum, Frieze, Art Papers, Mousse Magaxine, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera America, Wired, and Art Review, in which Hito Steyerl selected him as a 2014 FutureGreat. During Autumn 2015 Blas is a resident at the Delfina Foundation, London. [cid:1c1530e4-ba0a-2d1d-ee13-11ad0f06a40e] --- Dr. David M.

Submission deadline. 11 April 2016. Notification of acceptance. 16 May 2016. Final Camera Ready Versions Due. 11-13 July 2016. CMN'™16. 11-16 July 2016. DH2016. ---WORKSHOP AIMS--- The workshop series, Computational Models of Narrative (CMN) is dedicated to advancing the computationally-grounded study of narrative. Now in its seventh iteration, the workshop has a tradition of crossing academic borders and bringing together researchers from different disciplines on a common object of study. Narrative provides a model for organizing and communicating experience, knowledge, and culture. Investigations of narrative operations in textual, aural, and visual media have been systematically pursued in the humanities since before the early structural linguistics and folklorist inspired work of the Russian Formalists, and in the computing sciences since before the early cognitive science inspired work on scripts and frames. Research continues on computational approaches across the humanities and sciences. In order to appreciate the various domains and approaches connected to the computationally enabled study of narratives and narrative theory, it is becoming increasingly clear that research in this area requires engagement from many communities of interest. Peer-reviewed full proceedings from CMN'13, '˜14, and '15 are each available in the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs) published by Schloss Dagstuhl. Special Focus: Computational Narrative and the Humanities This inter-disciplinary workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Papers should be relevant to the computational modeling, and scientific or humanistic understanding of narrative. The workshop will have a special focus on how the computational modeling, analysis, or generation of narrative has affected approaches in the humanities for studying and generating narrative in or across textual, aural, or visual media. Possible themes could connect to the representation of narrative, connections between cognition and narrative or knowledge representation and narrative, the use of heuristics to handle complexity, incorporation of insights about human thinking, the use of narrative to organize information in the humanities, the relationship between top-down and bottom-up approaches for narrative understanding, or how narrative is seen to function differently depending upon the medium. 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. We invite and encourage submissions either as full papers or position papers, through the workshop's EasyChair website:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmn16 We also invite you to submit an abstract soon so that we can gauge the number of submissions we can expect. (Submitting an abstract is possible without submitting the full paper at the same time.) Full papers should contain original research and have to fit within 16 pages in the OASIcs style (plus two pages of references); position papers can report on work-in-progress, research plans or projects and have to fit within four pages in the OASIcs style (plus one page of references).OASIcs webpage: http://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publications/oasics OASICs style: http://drops.dagstuhl.de/styles/oasics/oasics-authors.tgz Illustrative Topics and Questions - How can computational narratives be studied from a humanities point of view? - Are generative models of narrative texts, movies or video games possible, desirable, and useful? - 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? - How are narratives affected by the media used to convey them? - What aspects of cross-linguistic work has narrative research neglected? - What opportunities are there for narrative analysis across languages? - What makes narrative different from a list of events or facts? - How do conceptions and models of spatiality or temporality influence narrative and narrative theory? - What are the details of the relationship between narrative and language, image, or sound? - How is narrative knowledge captured and represented? - How are narratives indexed and retrieved? Is there a universal scheme for encoding episodic information? - 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? - 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? - How can narrative systems be applied to problem-solving? - How far are we from a theory of narrative adaptation across media?

DLF’s sponsorship of DHSI will permit everyone affiliated with our member institutions to register for digital humanities training and enrichment courses at a deeply reduced rate. As an added bonus, we will also provide free tuition to 5 “DLF-DHSI Cross-Pollinator Fellows” at next summer’s DSHI. The Digital Humanities Summer Institute has grown by leaps and bounds, and we are excited to connect DLF members with its extensive offerings (43 courses and 10 short workshops in the summer of 2016). We hope many of our members will use this opportunity to benefit from lectures, courses, and workshops, to present their own projects in Victoria, and to build connections within DHSI’s international community of DH practitioners. DLF recognizes the value of partnering with endeavors that seriously engage issues of digital standards, stewardship, digital scholarship, and technical training and education. “DLF member institutions are deeply engaged in the development and application of new technologies to support teaching, research, and the public good,” writes director Bethany Nowviskie, “so DHSI, as a professional development program that builds capacity for DH and humanities data curation, is a perfect match. We hope not only library and museum professionals, but also faculty and students affiliated with our members will take advantage of this terrific benefit.” More information about the application process to become one of our five 2016 DLF-DHSI Cross-Pollinator Fellows will be available on the DLF website in November -- but members not interested in a tuition scholarship opportunity are welcome to register for DHSI courses at any time, using DLF discount codes available here: http://dhsi.org/registration.html. (You must be affiliated with a DLF member institution to use the codes. Courses fill quickly, so don’t delay!) Please feel free to contact lkwasigroch@clir.org with any questions regarding this new DLF member benefit. Contact awards@diglib.org with questions about the forthcoming tuition fellowships. -- Oliver Bendorf | Program Associate | Digital Library Federation diglib.org http://www.diglib.org/ | clir.org http://www.clir.org/ | @CLIRDLF | @ohbendorf 1707 L Street NW, Suite 650 | Washington, DC, 20036 _______________________________________________ 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 C230D6B96; Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:54:42 +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 6906A6B89; Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:54:41 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A39CB6B64; Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:54:37 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151014045437.A39CB6B64@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 06:54:37 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.383 network analysis on Plato's dialogues 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: <20151014045442.19410.18108@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 383.

What software are people using? I started out back in the Windows days with Ucinet. I can run it under Wine in Linux, but I've basically migrated away from it. I've tried SocNetV, which doesn't require the construction of a matrix. I would try R, but Linux is no longer supported by Rcommander and I find it frustrating constantly referring to the man for command line.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:49:34 +1100 From: Nick Thieberger Subject: TALK -- Showcasing the Digital Humanities in Melbourne Showcasing the Digital Humanities https://humanities21.com.au/event/talk-showcasing-the-digital-humanities/ What does arts scholarship look like in the digital age? This panel will feature three experts working in the Digital Humanities, an exciting new interdisciplinary field that works to expand the capabilities of educational topics like history, literature and philosophy through cutting-edge technologies. Dr Deb Verhoeven is working on an online national database of cinema venues, which explores films, audiences and ratings throughout history. Dr David McInnis edits an open online database for lost plays from 16th-Century England.Dr Nick Thieberger is using new technologies to analyse and compare indigenous languages throughout Australia. The three will present their research and technologies, and discuss the latest developments in the field. The Digital Humanities: A Growing Field The Digital Humanities incorporate new technologies into the humanities in order to democratise the discipline and make research more accessible. It is hoped that many of these projects will bring more diverse audiences to the humanities, and increase public interest in history, literature, philosophy and more. The Virtual Paul’s Cross Project, for example, is a digital recreation of John Donne’s Gunpowder Day sermon at St Paul’s Cross in London in 1622. Historians, archaeologists and engineers are working on this installation, which delivers minute details like the shrubbery in the churchyard and the sound of dogs barking throughout the sermon. This is but one example in a sea of possibilities of what experts can do with new technologies, to bring broader audiences to the wonderful world of the humanities. Join us for this fascinating discussion. The panel will be followed by an audience Q&A. Showcasing the Digital Humanities is on Wednesday 21 October 2015, from 6:30pm to 7:30pm, at Morgans at 401. FREE, bookings required. _______________________________________________ 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 D42976BAE; Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:21:26 +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 03A196BAB; Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:21:26 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3EE9A6BA5; Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:21:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151015062124.3EE9A6BA5@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2015 08:21:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.386 losing the humanities; network analysis of Plato's dialogues 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: <20151015062126.26079.4321@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 386.

The conclusion is short-circuited, but understandable, when administrators, and not only austerity-minded ones, point to the obvious fact that these studies fail their proclaimed targets. Is this really so? James Rovira makes the important point (29.333) that a good basic education in the Liberal Arts, which "historically" have awarded "management degrees", will qualify to cope with whatever technological advances may happen to come about in the students' later professional life: "I advise my students to get a degree in whatever area they love." While that is a very reasonable and student-friendly solution, it helps to diminish the value of the humanities when any university subject, no matter which, will do the job. Quite clearly, an important aspect of a good Liberal Arts education is not only the students' personality formation. It should rest upon a fully developed idea of one's own identity so that society at large will become capable to adapt to new challenges through institutions that it had decided to fund over the years. It is true that there are several odd fields of instruction that reflect and keep alive historical constellations that may impede, rather than ease the understanding of a current situation. In his publications, Rens Bod has shown (29.333) that the humanities have an intrinsic value of their own which may equal that of the natural sciences (a difference in subject, not in methodology, I would postulate from history). One may not only wonder how it came about that so many inventions in the natural sciences were made by Germans in the long 19th century, although they had benefited from a neohumanistic education in the classical languages, as Peter Watson has noted in his highly readable "The German Genius". There is a materiality of the humanities on the level of social practice which Rens may have in mind. Philosophers may not be able to construct an aeroplane that would ever leave the ground, but potentially they may be able to devise a way of thinking and arguing that will prevent wars and better the human condition. We must not overlook that the number of those who have not found permanent employment in academia for themselves will most likely increase. Several reasons contribute to this lamentable fact, and most of those are nothing we can be proud of, given the sociological insight we should have in the 21st century. Several months ago, I asked this list for the name of the unknown author of a definition of the humanities I had read that the humanities first and foremost are the community of humanists involved. I still hold this statement to be true. In a private discussion with Eleanor Dickey of Reading University who had raised her voice for the increasing number of unemployed PhDs in the classics (please see 28.123), I have asked if it is time for the foundation of a Globalversity that would integrate and link up unemployed, independent scholars. While this may raise the quality of the over-all achievements, it will very certainly prevent narrow-mindedness and injustice. In this age, the perspective from within one single culture, not to speak of a sub-culture within an enclosing culture, is narrow-minded by definition. We are in need of wider perspectives, not necessarily by analogy or polarity, and a first step could be to involve and engage more scholars who have no other choice than to be independent.

Our goal in providing the experience and supporting current and past cohorts is to foster a self-reliant, mutually supportive community of practice, engaged in continuous learning about RDM, data curation, and e-research support. NEW FOR 2016: • We’re radically lowering tuition costs for DLF member institutions who wish to participate in the eRN. (Tuition for an institutional team of three will total $1000 for DLF members and $3000 for non-member institutions.) • Participation will be easier and less expensive, because we're making the in-person meet-ups that bookend the program entirely optional. (They’ll still be great networking opportunities, but we can do crucial eRN business virtually.) • Finally, by popular demand, we’ll be upping the humanities data curation content of the program. PRE-REGISTER NOW: 2016 eRN faculty and some other details for this May-November 2016 program are still TBD, but we encourage early registration so that we can recruit speakers and customize the curriculum to suit our new cohort’s interests and goals.

Although I agree with that sentiment, we cannot ignore the fact that there exists a politics of academia—many kinds and directions actually. And although I see the good intent of what you are suggesting in creating a new epistemological platform for employed and unemployed scholars both, such a move has severe political side effects, even if politics were not intended. For what you present as a possible solution actually adds up to institutionalizing unpayed labor. The explicit message you are sending to unemployed colleagues is: indeed, your labor has no value that we will balance with the one generally accepted crude facility we have for that, finance. Moreover, we would be acknowledging to all funding bodies, policy makers, and colleagues in other domains far keener at the funding game: these humanists can do plenty without rewards; great that they love what they're doing for free; more mo for the rest of us! Free academic labor is a symptom, not a solution—until those times we find better ways than rewarding labor via a monetary system. I know, all too easy to say on a steady contract, all too easily said by one who himself is also looking into crowdsourcing. Still, accepting voluntary labor in an unemployed situation is ingesting poison in the hope it will cure you. And I'm too much of a scientistic scholar to believe in homeopathy.

My interest is in communicating the concepts behind computer science (CS) within the context of art and humanities. Let’s consider the example of teaching a student about semantic networks— the task may be to read a text (e.g., one of Plato’s dialogues) and, by hand, create concept maps and semantic networks of part of that text. Of course, tools are still useful but this is more hands-on and interactive. In doing so, the student learns about computer science (networks, nodes, the idea of “relation”, abstraction) but also reads Plato's dialogues and reasons about them. Both CS and humanities learning objectives are satisfied. I don’t think this is true when using massive corpus based tools — where the software does everything for you. When I browse digital humanities repositories in the web, most of what I see is a list of tools and how to use them, rather than a more methodological approach. I am working closely with a local art museum to surface diagrammatic interpretations (think concept maps and flowcharts) of processes and technique present re: an artwork. Some of this work involves analysis of the written word (e.g., al Jazari’s “Book of Knowledge of Ingenious Mechanical Devices”). The end goal is to allow the museum visitor to informally learn CS concepts and have a meaningful cultural experience, simultaneously. See this concept map experience example: http://artnc.org/conceptMap/560 http://artnc.org/conceptMap/560 This manual, hands-on, approach is of significant interest to me as I am less interested in automated tools "for a million books”. If any of you share this interest or can point me in a DH direction where this middle ground is covered in classes, or via humanist scholars, let me know. -paul > On Oct 15, 2015, at 1:21 AM, Humanist Discussion Group > wrote:> > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 386. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > [1] From: Marten_Düring (65) > Subject: Re: 29.383 network analysis on Plato's dialogues > > [2] From: "Dr. Hartmut Krech" (206) > Subject: Re: [Humanist] 29.364 losing the humanities > > > --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2015 10:30:32 +0200 > From: Marten_Düring > Subject: Re: 29.383 network analysis on Plato's dialogues > In-Reply-To: <20151014045437.A39CB6B64@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Hi Dave, > > you will find a summary of commonly used tools here: http://historicalnetworkresearch.org/resources/external-resources/#3 http://historicalnetworkresearch.org/resources/external-resources/#3 .

I quote from an address he gave to the Mathematical and Physical Sections of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Liverpool, 15 September 1870 (Scientific Papers II. 215ff, in the Internet Archive). He makes it quite clear which kind he is: > There are, as I have said, some minds which can go on contemplating > with satisfaction pure quantities presented to the eye by symbols, > and to the mind in a form which none but mathematicians can > conceive. > There are others who feel more enjoyment in following geometrical > forms, which they draw on paper, or build in the empty space before > them. > Others, again, are not content unless they can project their whole > physical energies into the scene which they conjure up. They learn > at what rate the planets rush through space, and they experience a > delightful feeling of exhilaration. They calculate the forces with > which the heavenly bodies pull at one another, and they feel their > own muscles straining with the effort. > To such men momentum, energy, mass are not mere abstract expressions > of the results of scientific inquiry. They are words of power, which > stir their souls like memories of childhood. > For the sake of persons of these different types, scientific truth > should be presented in different forms, and should be regarded as > equally scientific, whether it appears in the robust form and the > vivid colouring of a physical illustration, or in the tenuity and > paleness of a symbolical expression. Within digital humanities, some of us may look on those with digitally dirty hands as too absorbed in grubby work to see the big picture. Those who write code may look on the theorizers as too far from the objects of study to have anything useful to say, or too dependent on how others use tools to have any grip on what's coming. But stepping back from all that, could it be that the drawing apart of those who flourish in abstraction, those who depict and those who know by hands-on and in felt experience marks a stage of disciplinary maturity in which basic human inclinations are sorting us out? I confess a strong sense of identification with Maxwell. Forgive, if you will, more 19C words from him, from an "Introductory Lecture on Experimental Physics" (Scientific Papers II.242): > When we shall be able to employ in scientific education, not only the > trained attention of the student, and his familiarity with symbols, > but the keenness of his eye, the quickness of his ear, the delicacy > of his touch, and the adroitness of his fingers, we shall not only > extend our influence over a class of men who are not fond of cold > abstractions, but, by opening at once all the gateways of knowledge, > we shall ensure the association of the doctrines of science with > those elementary sensations which form the obscure background of all > our conscious thoughts, and which lend a vividness and relief to > ideas, which, when presented as mere abstract terms, are apt to fade > entirely from the memory. I am tempted to observe that here lies the deepest sort of bond between those who have a physical, embodied relationship with their objects of study, subvocalizing as they read and write, moving as they listen, feeling as they look, and those who program, or once did, and so have been changed forever.

Pajek runs quite well on Linux under Wine, and Gephi has a native Linux package. For R, the standard packages are SNA and igraph (and RStudio works nicely under Linux). For Python, it's igraph and NetworkX.

The workshop will offer a basic introduction to issues around tabular data, database design and linked open data, and tools for visualisation for both presentational and analytical purposes. Participants will gain hands-on experience of creating database tables (in Google Spreadsheets), cleaning and enhancing their data, and building visualisations based on it using a variety of free sites and tools. We shall suggest and discuss how these methods can be applicable to your research. No previous digital experience is required, but participants should bring their own laptop and have an account on Google Drive and be prepared to download some free software in advance of the workshop. The workshop will be taught by Silke Vanbeselaere (KU Leuven) and Gabriel Bodard (ICS). This workshop has been made possible by the generous support of the LAHP and AHRC. Registration is free.

Our research has recently focused on toponym resolution and related quality issues in existing Linked Data gazetteers in the context of French literary texts. For the *Digital Humanities conference (DH2016)*, we are very interested in* proposing a workshop* about the aforementioned matter as well as several other topics we think are crucial for the advance of research in the spatial humanities, some of these may be: - natural language processing for handling textual references, - publication of geo-historical linked data sets and possible applications, - quality assessment of geo-historical linked data sets - geographic information retrieval applications, - spatio-temporal data mining, - historical cartography and visualisation, - modeling uncertainty of spatio-temporal data, - ... We would like to ask you whether you are considering about submitting a workshop proposal on any of the previously listed topics. We believe that it would be worthwhile to* bring our efforts together and submit a common proposal*. We've got in touch with the *GeoHumanities Special Interest Group co-chairs and they agree to establish a common agenda.* There are several institutional partners who are willing to participate, these are listed below. - Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale «A. Zampolli» of the National Research Council (CNR) in Italy, - French national mapping agency (IGN), - Paris-Sorbonne University, - Free University of Brussels, - Università del Piemonte Orientale (the GeoLat project).

For Python, it's igraph and NetworkX. I'll just add that R and both flavors of Python (2 and 3) are supported by Jupyter notebook, giving you a very nice interactive environment. If you are on a Mac, the whole process can be handled via MacPorts, as I have described elsewhere (http://johnlaudun.org/eardk). _______________________________________________ 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 3462A6BD8; Sat, 17 Oct 2015 07:26:53 +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 5528869DA; Sat, 17 Oct 2015 07:26:52 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 43C7369DA; Sat, 17 Oct 2015 07:26:49 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151017052649.43C7369DA@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2015 07:26:49 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.397 events: humanities & sciences in the Hispanic world 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: <20151017052652.21767.89631@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 397.

This was the headline of a speech given at the Hannover exhibition in April 2015 by Günther Oettinger, EU-Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society. While businesses and industries have already made major advances in digital ecosystems, the digital transformation of texts stretching over a period of more than two millennia is far from complete. On the one hand, mass digitisation leads to an "information overload" of digitally available data; on the other, the "information poverty" embodied by the loss of books and the fragmentary state of ancient texts form an incomplete and biased view of our past. In a digital ecosystem, this coexistence of data overload and poverty adds considerable complexity to scholarly research. With this special issue on Computer-Aided Processing of Intertextuality in Ancient Languages, the HiSoMA lab in Lyon, France, and the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities in Germany, aim to create a collection of papers that discuss the state-of-the-art on intertextuality, linguistic preprocessing and the preservation of scholarly research results specifically applied to corpora in ancient languages and for which few online resources exist (Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Ethiopic, etc.). Relevant topics include: * Methods for the detection of intertexts and text reuse, manual (e.g.crowd-sourcing) or automatic (e.g. algorithms); * Infrastructure for the preservation of digital texts and quotations between different text passages; * Linguistic preprocessing and data normalisation, such as lemmatisation of historical languages, root stemming, normalisation of variants, etc.; * Visualisation of intertextuality and text reuse; * Creation of, and research on, stemmata. The special issue will be published by the Journal on Data Mining and Digital Humanities (http://jdmdh.episciences.org/), an online open access journal that will release the issue shortly after its submission in order to elicit feedback from readers while concurrently supervising the standard peer review process. Interested authors are asked to: 1) send a title, an author list and a one page (or shorter) abstract specifying the type of contribution (full paper or project presentation) to Laurence Mellerin [laurence.mellerin(at)mom(dot)fr] and Marco Büchler [mbuechler(at)gcdh(dot)de] by October 31st. 2) send a paper (long: up to 40 pages OR short: 2 to 4 pages illustrating the scope and research of the project), following the guidelines of JDMDH, which can be found at http://jdmdh.episciences.org/page/submissions by January 31st 2016.

Thank you, Anatoliy -- Anatoliy Gruzd, PhD Canada Research Chair in Social Media Data Stewardship Associate Professor, Ted Rogers School of Management Director, Social Media Lab Ryerson University, Canada Lab: http://SocialMediaLab.ca | Twitter: @gruzd ********************************************************* 2016 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) CALL FOR PROPOSALS WHEN: July 11-13, 2016 WHERE: Goldsmiths, University of London, UK SUBMISSION DEADLINES: Dec 4, 2015: Workshops/Tutorials/Panels Jan 15, 2016: Full & WIP Papers Mar 4, 2016: Poster Abstract Conference website: http://socialmediaandsociety.org Data, data everywhere. With faster computers and cheaper storage, bigger data sets are becoming abundant. Social media is a key source of big data in the form of user and system generated content. What do we do with all of the social data and how do we make sense of it? How does the use of social media platforms and the data that they generate change us, our organizations, and our society? What are the inherent challenges and issues associated with working with social media data? What obligations do we have as social media researchers to protect the privacy of the users? These are just a few questions that will be explored at the 2016 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety). Now, in its 7th year, the conference is an interdisciplinary academic conference focusing exclusively on social media research. The conference brings together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in studying and understanding social media impact and implications on society. This year's conference offers an intensive three-day program comprising of workshops, tutorials, paper presentations, panel discussions, and posters covering wide-ranging topics related to social media research. PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES: Full papers presented at the conference will be published in the Conference Proceedings by ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS). Selected papers will also be invited to submit their extended full papers to Special Issues of Big Data & Society (BD&S) and American Behavioral Scientist (ABS) published by SAGE Publications.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 15:09:59 +0000 From: Andrew Prescott Subject: Losing the Humanities A further recent story from the THES which may be of interest: Reconfiguring humanities degrees to stress their relevance to business could arrest a decline in student numbers, an international conference has heard. Expertise in humanities-related subjects is increasingly vital in today’s high-tech economy, but not enough courses connect the skills and content learned by students to a business context, explained Tyler Cowen, Holbert C. Harris chair of economics at George Mason University. Speaking in Singapore on 14 October at the Higher Education Futures conference, organised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and Singapore’s Ministry of Education, Professor Cowen said the rise of technology will, counter-intuitively, require more students to be trained in humanities subjects. “More technology in the world does not mean everyone should be a STEM [science, technology, engineering and maths] major,” said Professor Cowen, a New York Times columnist and co-author of the economics blog Marginal Revolution. Instead, more humanities graduates are needed to “synthesise, integrate and humanise” new technology to ensure products and services are successful, he said. “Why did Facebook do better than MySpace?,” Professor Cowen asked. “It may have had slightly better technology, but it was more because its [co-founder] Mark Zuckerberg, who majored in psychology, understood the importance of the feed of information, rather than just having a profile,” he said. But the study of humanities is shrinking in many places as students opt for STEM and business-facing subjects, Professor Cowen said. “For the humanities to survive they will need to become more practical and orientated to business needs.” Speaking to Times Higher Education after his speech, Professor Cowen claimed antipathy to business runs deep within many humanities departments. “Business is pushed out of the curriculum – business schools are looked down on as places for dunces,” he said. “But if you look back to the Italian Renaissance, the study of humanities and business were seen as one – running a business was one of the arts of life,” he added. Humanities curricula should be altered to ensure students see how their studies give them “a dynamic edge” in business, rather than viewing their studies as separate to the job market, he said. “You need to make courses less subject-specific and find areas where you have synthesis with the market.” However, the “catastrophe” of collapsing students numbers is largely ignored by humanities scholars, who instead “blame critics” for failing to appreciate the discipline’s virtues, he said. “This isn’t affecting the top universities, but if you study humanities at mid-level colleges you could end up working in Starbucks or driving [for] Uber,” he said. Delivery of degrees in all subjects should also change radically, with a fifth of classes placed online to make space for more tutoring in small groups, Professor Cowen added. “I did a pretty good degree – economics at Harvard – but I learned nothing in half of my classes,” he said, adding that teaching quality should be measured more rigorously to weed out bad classes. “Giving people negative evaluations is very difficult, but we need to do more to give value to students.” Andrew Prescott FSA FRHistS Professor of Digital Humanities AHRC Theme Leader Fellow for Digital Transformations University of Glasgow andrew.prescott@glasgow.ac.uk @ajprescott 07743895209 _______________________________________________ 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 6A4BA6C0F; Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:03:15 +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 7E9E16BE4; Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:03:14 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 76F616BC3; Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:03:12 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151020060312.76F616BC3@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:03:12 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.403 ACH 2015 elections 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: <20151020060315.8907.51175@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 403.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 19:07:51 +0000 From: Bethany Nowviskie Subject: Digital Library Federation to Host National Digital Stewardship Alliance In-Reply-To: Digital Library Federation to Host National Digital Stewardship Alliance Contacts: Abbey Potter, abpo@loc.gov | Oliver Bendorf, obendorf@clir.org http://ndsa.org | http://diglib.org Washington, DC, October 19, 2015—The National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA) today announced that it has selected the Digital Library Federation (DLF), a program of the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), to serve as NDSA’s institutional home starting in January 2016. The selection and announcement follows a nationwide search and evaluation of cultural heritage, membership, and technical service organizations, in consultation with NDSA working groups, their members, and external advisors. Launched in 2010 by the Library of Congress as a part of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program with over 50 founding members, the NDSA works to establish, maintain, and advance the capacity to preserve our nation’s digital resources for the benefit of present and future generations. For an inaugural four-year term, the Library of Congress provided secretariat and membership management support to the NDSA, contributing working group leadership, expertise, and administrative support. Today, the NDSA has 165 members, including universities, government and nonprofit organizations, commercial businesses, and professional associations. CLIR and DLF have, respectively, a 60- and 20-year track record of dedication to preservation and digital stewardship, with access to diverse communities of researchers, administrators, developers, funders, and practitioners in higher education, government, science, commerce, and the cultural heritage sector. “We are delighted at this opportunity to support the important work of the NDSA and collaborate more closely with its leadership and vibrant community,” said DLF Director Bethany Nowviskie. “DLF shares in NDSA’s core values of stewardship, collaboration, inclusiveness, and open exchange. We’re grateful for the strong foundation laid for the organization by the Library of Congress, and look forward to helping NDSA enter a new period of imagination, engagement, and growth.“ CLIR President Chuck Henry added, “The partnership between NDSA and DLF should prove of significant mutual benefit and national import: both organizations provide exemplary leadership by promoting the highest standards of preservation of and access to our digital cultural heritage. Together they will guide us wisely and astutely further into the 21st century." The mission and structure of the NDSA will remain largely unchanged and it will be a distinct organization within CLIR and DLF, with all organizations benefiting from the pursuit of common goals while leveraging shared resources. “The Library of Congress fully supports the selection of DLF as the next NDSA host and looks forward to working with NDSA in the future,” said Acting Librarian of Congress David Mao. “The talent and commitment from NDSA members coupled with DLF’s deep experience in supporting collaborative work and piloting innovative digital programs will ensure that NDSA continues its excellent leadership in the digital stewardship community.” “The Library of Congress showed great vision and public spirit in launching the NDSA. And with the Library’s support and guidance, NDSA has grown to embrace a broad community of information stewards,” said Micah Altman, chair of the NDSA Coordinating Committee. “With the support and leadership of CLIR and DLF we aspire to broaden and catalyze the information stewardship community to safeguard permanent access to the world’s scientific evidence base, cultural heritage, and public record.” CLIR is an independent, nonprofit organization that forges strategies to enhance research, teaching, and learning environments in collaboration with libraries, cultural institutions, and communities of higher learning. It aims to promote forward-looking collaborative solutions that transcend disciplinary, institutional, professional, and geographic boundaries in support of the public good. CLIR’s 186 sponsoring institutions include colleges, universities, public libraries, and businesses. The Digital Library Federation, founded in 1995, is a robust and diverse community of practice, advancing research, learning, and the public good through digital library technologies. DLF connects its parent organization, CLIR, to an active practitioner network, consisting of 139 member institutions, including colleges, universities, public libraries, museums, labs, agencies, and consortia. Among DLF’s NDSA-related initiatives are the eResearch Network, focused on data stewardship across disciplines, and the CLIR/DLF Postdoctoral Fellows program, with postdocs in data curation for medieval, early modern, visual studies, scientific, and social science data, and in software curation. -- Oliver Bendorf | Program Associate | Digital Library Federation diglib.org | clir.org | @CLIRDLF | @ohbendorf 1707 L Street NW, Suite 650 | Washington, DC, 20036 _______________________________________________ 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 91D6C6C1F; Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:07:48 +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 BC7F56C0B; Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:07:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 671556C0B; Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:07:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151020060744.671556C0B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 20 Oct 2015 08:07:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.406 pubs: Electronic Beowulf 4.0 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: <20151020060748.10338.24490@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 406.

Kevin Kiernan talks about his work and the development of Electronic Beowulf here: https://vimeo.com/141546786. To celebrate this award, I am pleased to announce that, with the support of the British Library and the University of Kentucky, Version 4.0 of Electronic Beowulf was launched on 10 October. This new version of 'Electronic Beowulf' is, I am pleased to say, freely available online at the following address: http://ebeowulf.uky.edu/gettingstarted/overview ‘Electronic Beowulf’ comprises a facsimile of Cotton MS Vitellius A.xv, images of readings under ultra-violet light, images made using backlighting of readings concealed by conservation work, facsimiles of the two transcripts made for the Danish scholar Thorkelin, collations of Thorkelin’s first edition of Beowulf with the manuscript by Conybeare and Madden, together with glossary, transcripts, edition and other specialist features including tools for metrical analysis. To my mind, it illustrates how a digital edition can be much more than the kind of colour microfilm we all too often see in digital editions, and shows the potential of digital imaghing to give us new ways of exploring the text. The onlime version of Electronic Beowulf is further discussed by Stella Wisdom of the British Library in the British Library Digital Scholarship blog and Stella also intriduces here the current BL - Institute of Education project ‘Playing Beowulf’: http://britishlibrary.typepad.co.uk/digital-scholarship/2015/10/electronic-beowulf-40.html Andrew Andrew Prescott FSA FRHistS Professor of Digital Humanities AHRC Theme Leader Fellow for Digital Transformations University of Glasgow andrew.prescott@glasgow.ac.uk @ajprescott 07743895209 _______________________________________________ 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 F02366C40; Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:16:50 +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 164496C3D; Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:16:48 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B1E526C37; Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:16:42 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151021051642.B1E526C37@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 21 Oct 2015 07:16:42 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.407 losing the 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 X-PPP-Message-ID: <20151021051649.2452.81973@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 407.

Even more so, I appreciate your comments and the story from THES that Professor Prescott has shared with us, where the decline of the number of students enrolled in the humanities is identified as a problem to face by business professionals. The reduction of public spending on higher education and the replacement of life-sustaining jobs by precarious, short-term employment is a current trend that is not confined to the humanities and probably cannot be addressed from within the humanities alone. I'm only making the point here that our understanding of the nature of the problems involved may change for the humanities and digital humanities in particular, if we remember that the flowering of the traditional humanities always was concomitant with the spread of some new means and practices of communication like public oratory, book copying, university education, printing, etc. All those cultural movements cannot be reduced to the leading 'technological' innovations of the respective age like the printing press. As a matter of fact, sometimes quite trivial social practices were being developed simulataneously, like letter-writing within the 'republic of letters', which helped to forge a community of scholars and evolved into autobiographical literature as an important element of nation-building in 18th century European civil culture. These new practices became an economic momentum of their own, if economics is understood not as a formula for gaining maximum profit from least effort. If the discipline of 'digital humanities' is different from the study of 'computers in the humanities', then perhaps it is because of the many digital projects that have been developed during the past years. They can be as impressive as the various projects described at the website of huygensING (https://www.huygens.knaw.nl/) that Joris is representing or they can be as seemingly inconspicuous, but brilliant as children identiying themselves within works of art (http://artnc.org/conceptMap/560) that Paul Fishwick has described for us (29.392). I agree with Joris that a 'Globalversity' as a worldwide network of independent scholars should not amount to institutionalizing unpaid academic work. Instead it might lead to new forms of (international) co-operation and new standards of quality assessment when the peer reviewing process, questionable practices of impact generation, and plagiarism have come under discussion. How could the 'independent (digital humanities) scholar' contribute to progress at large and better his or her situation? According to the Oxford study The Future of Employment by Carl Frey and Michael Osborne, up to 47 percent of total US employment is at risk during the next ten to twenty years due to the digitization of work processes, the sciences not exempt (http://www.oxfordmartin.ox.ac.uk/downloads/academic/The_Future_of_Employment.pdf). I know of independent scholars who unsuccessfully applied for a permanent position, only to see that their research proposals inspired their fully employed colleagues who apparently are under too much stress to be creative on their own. Such situations could soon become ubiquitous. And of course, they are country-specific. Forty-five years ago, President Carter's advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski foresaw some of these problems in what he called the 'Technetronic Age'. Job rotation and extended adult education as well as increased participation of independent scholars in the decision-making of funding agencies were some of the solutions he proposed. And they appear less world-toppling when we view them before the back drop of the 15th or 17th centuries, when scientific academies were being established as forums of exchange and communication. A feeling of identity and the basic means to physically support it are not the least achievements of science and the humanities in a world going wild annihilating identities, it would seem to me. Thank you for having followed me so far.

This is it, from p. ix: > I have not provided an index, since an index would tend to render the > terminology more rigid than it is desirable in this kind of work. I firmly believe in the principle of tradeoff when applied judiciously. This principle says that for everything you gain you lose something else. (Plato, I recall, argued more or less the same thing with regards to whole lives.) Polya, I think, presents us with a clear case. I'd suppose that the best response is to figure out the consequences, and at least in some instances, in one's own life, to attempt return to the world of deeply immersive reading, with no indexes or searching capabilities.

General Information The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) invites submission of abstracts for its annual conference, on any aspect of digital humanities. This includes, but is not limited to: · humanities research enabled through digital media, data mining, software studies, or information design and modeling · social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities; · computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities, and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; · quantitative stylistics and philology, including big data / textmining studies; · digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and related areas; · emerging technologies such as 3D printing, single-board computers, wearable devices, applied to humanities research; · creation and curation of humanities digital resources; and · digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula. For the 2016 conference, contributions that address social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities are welcome; but also contributions that address quantitative and statistics methods applied to texts and submissions on interdisciplinary work and new developments in all field of digital humanities. Presentations may include: · posters (abstract maximum 750 words); · short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words); · long papers (abstract maximum 1500 words); · multiple paper sessions, including panels (regular abstracts + approximately 500-word overview); and · pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal maximum 1500 words) The deadline for submitting poster, short paper, long paper, and multiple paper session proposals to the international Program Committee is midnight GMT, 1 November, 2015. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 7 February, 2016. Workshop proposals are due by midnight GMT, 14 February, 2016, with notice of acceptance by 7th March, 2016. For DH2016, workshops endorsed by a SIG can be proposed by midnight GMT, 15 December 2015, with notice of acceptance by 30th of January 2016. A link to the online abstract submission system will be available on the conference website: http://dh2016.adho.org/. Please check the website for updates. Previous Digital Humanities conference participants and reviewers should use their existing accounts rather than setting up new ones. If you have forgotten your user name or password, please contact Program Committee Chair, Manfred Thaller . To facilitate the production of the conference proceedings, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator. II. Types of Proposals Proposals may be of five types: (1) poster presentations; (2) short paper presentations; (3) long papers; (4) three-paper or full-panel sessions; and (5) proposals for pre-conference workshops and tutorials. Based on peer review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee may offer acceptance in a different category from the one initially proposed, and will not normally accept multiple submissions from the same author or group of authors. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. 1) Poster Presentations Poster proposals (500 to 750 words) may describe work on any relevant topic or offer project and software demonstrations. Posters and demonstrations are intended to be interactive, with the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. In addition to a dedicated session, when presenters will explain their work and answer questions, posters will be on display at various times during the conference. 2) Short Papers Short paper proposals (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for reporting on experiments or work in progress, or for describing newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. This category of presentation allows for up to five short papers in a single session, with the length held to a strict 10 minutes each in order to allow time for questions. 3) Long Papers Proposals for long papers (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for: substantial, completed, and previously unpublished research; reports on the development of significant new methodologies or digital resources; and/or rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, what their impact has been in formulating and addressing research questions, and should include critical assessment of their application in the humanities. Papers that concentrate on a particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include critical assessments of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the literature. 4) Multiple Paper Sessions These consist of one 90-minute panel of four to six speakers, or three long papers on a single theme. Panel organizers should submit an abstract of 750 to 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. Paper session organizers should submit a statement of approximately 500 words describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750 to 1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session. Papers that are submitted as part of a special session may not be submitted individually for consideration in another category. 5) Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of instructors. Workshop proposals may take many forms including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, but also proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen by organizers. Proposals should provide the following information: · title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); · full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; · description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and · any special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: · a brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: · intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one and a half days); · proposed budget (as digital humanities workshops are expected to be self-financing); and · if the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. Workshops endorsed by a SIG: Workshops endorsed by a SIG and focused on a topic related to the concerned SIG are required to follow the same instructions as other workshops, but proposers should also note that: · they have to be endorsed in writing by a SIG; · the deadline application is earlier (see above); · they should have at least 10 confirmed participants. III. Information about the Conference Venue and Theme DH2016 will take place in Kraków, Poland; this is only the second time (after Debrecen 1998) that our conference comes to Central/Eastern Europe. The region’s rich past and its recent rapid growth has inspired the conference theme, ‘Digital Identities: the Past and the Future’. The conference is hosted jointly by the Jagiellonian University and the Pedagogical University of Kraków. Their collaboration is a manifestation of the vivid digital humanities scene emerging in Poland’s major centre of learning and culture. IV. Bursaries for Early-Career and Emerging Scholars The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations will offer a limited number of bursaries for early-career scholars presenting at the conference.

Yet their potential remains largely untapped by many in the field. What becomes possible in terms of substantive change in art historical research and understanding? How do these tools change not only the outcomes of our research (i.e., generating new insight or perspectives) but how we think about the material we work upon? What new opportunities for engagement with cultural heritage are made possible by the digital, both within and beyond the museum? How might the digital impact pedagogy, and what careers in the arts should we be preparing our students for? Do these new methods mean leaving behind the approaches of the past, or is there room for both the digital and the analog in art history? *Recasting the Question: Digital Approaches in Art History and Museums* is a day-long symposium exploring the application of digitally-based methods to the study and presentation of art and architecture in universities and museums. Bringing together international experts in digital art history and exhibition with leaders in the field in Australia, *Recasting the Question* offers the opportunity to explore the critical and scholarly issues that animate this emerging discipline through a series of projects focused on art and architecture from Australia and around the world. Speakers will use current research projects as jump off points for thinking through the ideas and issues that stand behind their projects and how those ideas have evolved from (or relate to) the field as it has conventionally been known and practiced.

Digital Editing Now: Call for digital posters 7-9 January 2016 Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) University of Cambridge Graduate students and early career scholars with interests in digital edition work are invited to submit proposals for digital posters relating to this area. The selected posters will be presented during the course of the conference, and those presenting will receive a bursary towards the costs of attendance. Please send your proposal (maximum 200 words) to Tom Taylor (tmt24@cam.ac.uk) by Friday 30 October 2015. In recent years, there has been a significant shift in scholarly culture and funding strategies towards digital formats for edition projects. This is driven by the potential for new forms of production, presentation and access that the digital promises. And it involves a reassessment of the conventions that have determined editorial practice in the age of print. This conference will gather interested parties together to exchange ideas about the state of digital editing and its future potential. It will also provide the opportunity to ask critical questions about the limits of the digital. How should we place ourselves relative to fundamental issues of authority/openness, durability/fluidity? Can we establish a set of ideal types for digital editorial method, or would its optimal strengths rather lie in more hybrid forms, including a productive mode of cohabitation with the print formats that it appears to want to supersede? While the conference will be fully open in historical and disciplinary terms, the exchange that is proposed here will be focused around four key sets of concerns, which cut across differences of material and context: 1. Material texts and digital forms What possibilities does digital editing provide to do justice to the material character of the texts it seeks to present, to their physical bedding and the means of their inscription? Can it find creative and meaningful ways of getting close to the experience of the archive? And how does it respond to the need for the kinds of durability and reliability associated with its physical counterparts? 2. Editorial agents and agencies (providers, in various roles, and users) Digital editions are the collaborative product of a range of types of expertise. They bring different agents together (academics, archivists, information technologists) in what can be a delicate process of negotiation between systems of knowledge. At the same time, users – expert and otherwise – experience, and in some cases reconfigure, digital editions, in various ways. How can the collective agency of these networks be made most fruitful? 3. Chronology and topography (genetic and diplomatic methods) Critical editions always have to deal with the tension between presenting the historical genesis of their material and the spatial lay-out of its iterations. How can digital functions convey the relations between the two in dynamic and enlightening fashion? 4. Digital edition and performance practices Digital editing offers the means to open up and enliven a range of different cultural materials. How might it provide a new basis for performance practices, in both live and digitally mediated forms, and in combinations of the two? And how might this extend beyond material self-evidently for performance (music, drama) to other types of resource?

The first issue includes project statements and peer reviews for the mid-stage digital humanities projects from around the world, listed below; two "How Did They Make That?" features edited by Thomas Padilla; and an editorial introduction outlining both the joys and challenges of launching a journal devoted to interdisciplinary project reviews in multiple languages. We are also excited to announce that Padmini Ray Murray will join *DHCommons* as Managing Editor beginning immediately; details about her role can be found in our editorial introduction to the issue. We are deeply grateful to all those who have made the journal possible, especially our editorial team (http://dhcenternet.org/2014/01/dhcommons-founding-international-editorial-board) for their hard work with project directors and reviewers; centerNet's Neil Fraistat, Kay Walter, and Jean Bauer for their sage counsel; and most of all our editorial assistants at Northeastern University, Jackie Gronau and Vicky Papa. We would also like to thank the Agile Humanities team for their splendid design work. We are delighted to share this first issue with you and would encourage those with mid-stage projects to submit project statements to us for review (http://dhcommons.org/journal/submission-guidelines) or to contact the editorial team at info@dhcommons.org for more information.

Johnson's "If it's not online and free, then it's not published" (http://tinyurl.com/q2nts8l) comes close to the pragmatics of my own research, and perhaps yours too, but in my case with one enormous exception: sustained reading. Only when forced by circumstance do I read at length from a screen. Many of us seem to exhibit a tendency to play down if not ignore while being (I am convinced) profoundly affected by the physicality, aesthetics and pragmatics of our environments, including sources of the written word. Take, for example, Johnson's choice to have most of his text rendered in light grey against a white background. Physically painful, headache-inducing eye-strain anyone? A text which fights rather than aids comprehension, one which implicitly argues against itself? The finite economics of publishing constrains what can be done, but I question the wisdom of running so quickly away from printing on paper as if the choice were a simple, obvious either/or. Again, allow me to highlight the wisdom of Pólya's "no index", while at the same time recognizing that I have his book thanks to archive.org, read it on screen (because in practical terms I must) and have indeed perused the table of contents. I prefer to think I'm not contradicting myself but maintaining a both/and, from a desk and in a house littered everywhere with printed books, many of them de-commissioned library volumes. So, when us scholarly digirati take a straight look at what we actually do, what does the present (never mind the future) look like? And when we think about possible futures, what do we want our working environment to be like?

I'm always disappointed that this debate comes down to screen-versus-paper when there is a readily available third option that most of us encounter every day and that no-one I know apart from myself seems to use for daily reading: the data projector throwing its image on a ordinary painted wall. Reflected light is much less strain-inducing than light coming directly from a glowing source. By projecting onto a wall one's eyes are focussed at 8-15 feet rather than 2-3 feet, which is much more comfortable. Given a large enough wall one can fill as much as 70% of one's field of vision without being close to the image and of course the writing can be made as large as one likes. All this encourages one to lean back instead of forward, which is beneficial to one's spine and shoulders. It's just that damned QWERTY keyboard that messes things up. You still need to hunch over that, and probably keep it on a flat surface in front of you, tying you to that office chair and desk. Solution? Ditch the QWERTY keyboard and get something else you can type on that keeps your arms comfortably in your lap, like an AlphaGrip http://www.alphagrips.com or a Twiddler http://twiddler.tekgear.com . (Obviously I have no connexion with these companies beyond being a satisfied customer of AlphaGrip.) If Virginia Woolf were writing today on the practical desiderata for pursuing the intellectual life, I hope she'd call her essay "A Wall of One's Own". Throw in a sheet-feeding scanner and guillotine (paper-cutter to Americans) to free the words of those printed books from their paper prisons, and you've got everything you need.

The project is entitled: ‘Hans Sloane’s Books: Evaluating an Enlightenment Library’. It will investigate the intellectual significance of the library of Hans Sloane (1660-1753): physician, collector and posthumous ‘founding father’ of the British Museum. It will apply digital techniques to exploit the raw data on over 32,000 items in the Sloane Printed Books Catalogue (http://www.bl.uk/catalogues/sloane/; SPBC) and forge fresh insights into the gathering and disseminating of medical and scientific knowledge in the pre-Linnaean period. This is a Digital Humanities project with relevance to the history of science, medicine and collecting. Prospective university/HEI partners will need to have a strong interest in current digital scholarship and techniques – ideally in the aforementioned fields – in order to provide practical and technical guidance to the doctoral student’s use of SPBC and its associated datasets. Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships provide fully funded AHRC research studentships that enable UK universities to work with independent research organisations. As part of this scheme, the British Library is looking for university/HEI partners to co- supervise PhDs to start in October 2016. The full details of the application process, link to the further particulars of the Sloane project, and application form may be found at the following: http://www.bl.uk/aboutus/highered/hecollab/collabdoctpar/index.html This call is open to researchers of postdoctoral standing with a contract of employment at a UK HEI. The deadline is 27th November 2015. Enquiries relating to the application process should be addressed to Arts-Humanities@bl.uk. For informal discussions about the project, please contact Dr James Freeman at James.Freeman@bl.uk. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information.

Scholars whose work intersects with digital prototyping (e.g., computer programming, human-computer interaction, industrial design, and/or locative media) connected to questions in the humanities are encouraged to apply. A demonstrated skillset related to entrepreneurship, leadership, and/or project management is also essential. The position is subject to final budgetary approval. It will begin July 1, 2016. The Centre for Digital Humanities (CDH) offers an undergraduate program in Interactive Arts and Science (IASC) that supports learning in a wide range of practices and disciplines informed by human-computer interaction, visualization, and simulation. The IASC programs (BA, BA Honours, Combined Major, and Minor) are partnered with a variety of academic units within and outside the Faculty of Humanities, including the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts. Faculty in the CDH also have the opportunity to contribute to Brock's Interdisciplinary Humanities PhD program which includes a specialization in Digital Humanities. In September, 2016, the CDH, in partnership with the Department of Computer Science, will launch the GAME program in collaboration with Niagara College. The CDH is a founding partner of Innovate Niagara and the Generator at One, the region’s interactive media incubator and production facility where IASC students regularly intern and are mentored by industry professionals. The CDH is also partnered with BioLinc, a business incubator facility housed on the Brock campus. Qualifications The successful candidate will be a Humanities scholar whose body of work advances the field of digital prototyping with original thinking and impact. Such work may take the form of published writings, innovative forms of scholarship, research/creation, critically informed design, curriculum, and/or community engagement.

Most useful to me would be something not so focused on a single piece of scholarship or single author that it might seem to have problematic relevance to others.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 24 Oct 2015 10:44:46 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: scholarship in software and reading the machine From time to time various of us have contemplated and a few written about the problem of gaining scholarly recognition for work done in software. To date, I would suppose, this is rare -- and understandably so. It's not all that hard, given sufficient time, to assess the utility of a digital resource for scholarship in affected disciplines, but this is not the same as weighing its worth *as* scholarship. To do this you have to be able to answer the question Mike Mahoney used to ask: how do we read a machine? He made the question more interesting and difficult by pointing out that software can only be fully known in action. You know it by seeing it work, or at least you cannot know it adequately otherwise. A closely related question is brought up by Larry Owens' fine study, "Vannevar Bush and the Differential Analyzer: The Text and Context of an Early Computer", Technology and Culture 27.1 (1986): 63-95. This is how he asks it: > How does one tell the story of a machine? On what categories should > the analysis rest, within what interpretative framework should one > search for the meaning of engineering artifacts? However the > historian chooses to answer these questions, utility must certainly > play a role.... But there are other categories than utility, or, > maybe, broader sorts of utility than so far invoked in our > account....

To > flesh out our story of this particular machine, we must discover what > this something else was. (p. 85) Owens goes on to open up the engineering culture of the first half of the 20th Century. He looks forward to the death of interest in Bush's Analyzer as digital computing took over. After what Owens calls the "autopsy" of the programme that supported it, in the Spring of 1950, Warren Weaver wrote to Samuel Caldwell, director of the Center where it was developed, > "[I]t seems rather a pity not to have around such a place as MIT a > really impressive Analogue computer; for there is vividness and > directness of meaning of the electrical and mechanical processes > involved ... which can hardly fail, I would think, to have a very > considerable educational value.

(p. 66) As Bush tirelessly pointed out "analogy machines" like the Analyzer were in fact so easy to read that one could learn the calculus from them; they provided a visible language expressing the "innate meaning" of the mathematics that expressed the innate meaning of the processes it represented. Not so for digital machines. All of which, it seems to me, give us an inspiring example and highlights just how difficult reading our digital machines is. Any ideas?

General Information The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) invites submission of abstracts for its annual conference, on any aspect of digital humanities. This includes, but is not limited to: -- humanities research enabled through digital media, data mining, software studies, or information design and modeling -- social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities; -- computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities, and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; -- quantitative stylistics and philology, including big data / textmining studies; -- digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and related areas; -- emerging technologies such as 3D printing, single-board computers, wearable devices, applied to humanities research; -- creation and curation of humanities digital resources; and -- digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula. For the 2016 conference, contributions that address social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities are welcome; but also contributions that address quantitative and statistics methods applied to texts and submissions on interdisciplinary work and new developments in all field of digital humanities. Presentations may include: -- posters (abstract maximum 750 words); -- short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words); -- long papers (abstract maximum 1500 words); -- multiple paper sessions, including panels (regular abstracts + approximately 500-word overview); and -- pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal maximum 1500 words) The deadline for submitting poster, short paper, long paper, and multiple paper session proposals to the international Program Committee is midnight GMT, 1 November, 2015. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 7 February, 2016. Workshop proposals are due by midnight GMT, 14 February, 2016, with notice of acceptance by 7th March, 2016. For DH2016, workshops endorsed by a SIG can be proposed by midnight GMT, 15 December 2015, with notice of acceptance by 30th of January 2016. A link to the online abstract submission system will be available on the conference website:http://dh2016.adho.org/. Please check the website for updates. Previous Digital Humanities conference participants and reviewers should use their existing accounts rather than setting up new ones. If you have forgotten your user name or password, please contact Program Committee Chair, Manfred Thaller . To facilitate the production of the conference proceedings, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator. II. Types of Proposals Proposals may be of five types: (1) poster presentations; (2) short paper presentations; (3) long papers; (4) three-paper or full-panel sessions; and (5) proposals for pre-conference workshops and tutorials. Based on peer review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee may offer acceptance in a different category from the one initially proposed, and will not normally accept multiple submissions from the same author or group of authors. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. 1) Poster Presentations Poster proposals (500 to 750 words) may describe work on any relevant topic or offer project and software demonstrations. Posters and demonstrations are intended to be interactive, with the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. In addition to a dedicated session, when presenters will explain their work and answer questions, posters will be on display at various times during the conference. 2) Short Papers Short paper proposals (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for reporting on experiments or work in progress, or for describing newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. This category of presentation allows for up to five short papers in a single session, with the length held to a strict 10 minutes each in order to allow time for questions. 3) Long Papers Proposals for long papers (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for: substantial, completed, and previously unpublished research; reports on the development of significant new methodologies or digital resources; and/or rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities, what their impact has been in formulating and addressing research questions, and should include critical assessment of their application in the humanities. Papers that concentrate on a particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include critical assessments of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the literature. 4) Multiple Paper Sessions These consist of one 90-minute panel of four to six speakers, or three long papers on a single theme. Panel organizers should submit an abstract of 750 to 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. Paper session organizers should submit a statement of approximately 500 words describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750 to 1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session. Papers that are submitted as part of a special session may not be submitted individually for consideration in another category. 5) Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of instructors. Workshop proposals may take many forms including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, but also proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen by organizers. Proposals should provide the following information: -- title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); -- full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; -- description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and -- any special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: -- a brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: -- intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one and a half days); -- proposed budget (as digital humanities workshops are expected to be self-financing); and -- if the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop?s Program Committee. Workshops endorsed by a SIG: Workshops endorsed by a SIG and focused on a topic related to the concerned SIG are required to follow the same instructions as other workshops, but proposers should also note that: -- they have to be endorsed in writing by a SIG; -- the deadline application is earlier (see above); -- they should have at least 10 confirmed participants. III. Information about the Conference Venue and Theme DH2016 will take place in Krak?w, Poland; this is only the second time (after Debrecen 1998) that our conference comes to Central/Eastern Europe. The region?s rich past and its recent rapid growth has inspired the conference theme, ?Digital Identities: the Past and the Future?. The conference is hosted jointly by the Jagiellonian University and the Pedagogical University of Krak?w. Their collaboration is a manifestation of the vivid digital humanities scene emerging in Poland?s major centre of learning and culture. IV. Bursaries for Early-Career and Emerging Scholars The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations will offer a limited number of bursaries for early-career scholars presenting at the conference.

We need to define “scholarship.” I suggest that this word refers to the empirical approach that we take to build upon related work. This takes the form of bibliographies, references, and the process of developing an argument. Let’s consider the situation in engineering schools since that may provide one example for this discussion. By “engineering”, I am including “computer science” and a host of other disciplines, since these are often housed in schools or colleges of engineering. A tenure-track faculty member is expected to be a scholar, but this term is rarely used in casual conversation. Instead, “research” is used for an identical meaning. This is something I’ve noted with my humanist colleagues: “scholar” is part of their vocabulary, where as in engineering, it is assumed you are a scholar if you are research faculty, and so no need to use that term. Consider you are a computer science faculty member. Unless you are a theorist (e.g., theory of computing), you are expected to include software as part of your argument. Most PhD theses include written arguments employing significant effort in framing the arguments against related work done in the past. The software an integral part of these arguments, but would not be considered an example of scholarship by itself. However, even though writing software (sans argument) would not be considered scholarship, significant software implementations are considered highly significant. Their significance, as always, depends on the tenure and promotion committee makeup. I treat development of software and hardware as extremely important in engineering scholarship. > To do this you have to be able to answer the question Mike > Mahoney used to ask: how do we read a machine?

This is one reason why the computational thinking crowd (I count myself as one) pushes for the importance of everyone to do some type of coding or modeling. -paul --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2015 17:29:21 +0000 From: "WILDER, COLIN" Subject: RE: 29.421 the strongest attack In-Reply-To: <20151026064341.22E5D6CA9@digitalhumanities.org> Chris, This is a great idea.

It itself offers two sorts of wisdom to the computationally fascinated: an antidote, if you will, to one current obsession and a booster to another. The first is demonstration of the rewards from studying Small Data; second is its encouragement to play seriously with schemes of what might be. Morson's Introduction, in which he discusses the many ways of sorting the forms of aphoristic literature, implies that the second made the first possible. Anyhow here's the paragraph which urged me to write this note: > Like arguments over terminology, classification debates may seem > pointless, and yet, as thinkers from Aristotle to Linnaeus and Darwin > have understood, one can often best understand a range of phenomena > by first examining its types. If nomenclature proves less than > helpful in doing so and the phenomena lend themselves to different > groupings, one needs to reflect on why one is interested in the > phenomena in the first place. Articulating the questions one hopes to > answer also helps. Only by deciding on the sort of thing one is > looking for can one hope to find it. There is no single correct way > of classifying genres. Rather, principles of classification properly > depend on the reasons for classifying. Different purposes demand > different classifications. (pp. 4-5) Perhaps as "ontology" has among us given way to "ontologies" so it in turn should be given the means to metamorphose into "ontologizing"?

The art history book remains the standard of professional validation and knowledge transfer within the discipline. Yet, with the arrival of the internet and digital publishing technologies, the limiting nature of traditional academic publishing and the potential for alternative models have been exposed (Hall, 2008; Fitzpatrick, 2011; Frosio, 2014). Academic presses have sought to augment and re-engineer the academic text by exploring new systems for aggregation, annotation, collaborative writing, data visualisation, open access and peer review. But art history is seriously behind in developing robust publishing models for the future (Ballon and Westermann, 2006; Evans, Thomson and Watkins, 2011; Zorich, 2012). In this talk, Charlotte Frost regards the art history book as the site of contention in the quest to historicise emerging (and often technologically-rich) art forms. She asks ‘what should the art history book of the future look like and what should it do differently for the discipline to evolve?’” Admission to the talk is free. To book a ticket please go to: http://courtauld.ac.uk/event/the-future-of-the-art-history-book - There will be a symposium on 'Rethinking Art's Digital Futures', in Chamber East, Chamber Building, Dundee, on 13 November from 10.00am-4pm as part of the NEON Festival: The NEoN Festival mini-symposium this year is focused on the intersection of tradition and craft with the digital transformation of art and design. Artists participating in the festival will reflect on their own processes, demonstrating influences of ways of working from the disparate and shared heritage practices of the North East of North Asia including Taiwan, Japan, Hong Kong, China and South Korea. While the West often looks to the East for visions of the future in the form of science fiction or new intelligent robotic gadgets it is also in the east where tradition is more keenly understood and practiced, with NEoN festival featuring works in hand drawn animation, shadow puppetry, and poetry. How do artists and designers sustain their inherited traditional practices in a time of digital transformation - with audiences ever-shortening attention spans, networked memory, and a reliance on mediated digital assets to tell the story for us? Our global interconnectedness means we are influenced as much by what is going on on the other side of the globe as by what is happening in their own neighbourhood. This symposium will address how cultural influence affects making, how artistic traditions mutate, while shining a critical light on the practices of artists and designers working within a digitally transformed worldview. Admission to the symposium is free.

This was the headline of a speech given at the Hannover exhibition in April 2015 by Günther Oettinger, EU-Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society. While businesses and industries have already made major advances in digital ecosystems, the digital transformation of texts stretching over a period of more than two millennia is far from complete. On the one hand, mass digitisation leads to an "information overload" of digitally available data; on the other, the "information poverty" embodied by the loss of books and the fragmentary state of ancient texts form an incomplete and biased view of our past. In a digital ecosystem, this coexistence of data overload and poverty adds considerable complexity to scholarly research. With this special issue on Computer-Aided Processing of Intertextuality in Ancient Languages, the HiSoMA lab in Lyon, France, and the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities in Germany, aim to create a collection of papers that discuss the state-of-the-art on intertextuality, linguistic preprocessing and the preservation of scholarly research results specifically applied to corpora in ancient languages and for which few online resources exist (Ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Ethiopic, etc.). Relevant topics include: * Methods for the detection of intertexts and text reuse, manual (e.g.crowd-sourcing) or automatic (e.g. algorithms); * Infrastructure for the preservation of digital texts and quotations between different text passages; * Linguistic preprocessing and data normalisation, such as lemmatisation of historical languages, root stemming, normalisation of variants, etc.; * Visualisation of intertextuality and text reuse; * Creation of, and research on, stemmata. The special issue will be published by the Journal on Data Mining and Digital Humanities (http://jdmdh.episciences.org/), an online open access journal that will release the issue shortly after its submission in order to elicit feedback from readers while concurrently supervising the standard peer review process. Interested authors are asked to: 1) send a title, an author list and a one page (or shorter) abstract specifying the type of contribution (full paper or project presentation) to Laurence Mellerin [laurence.mellerin(at)mom(dot)fr] and Marco Büchler [mbuechler(at)gcdh(dot)de] by October 31st. 2) send a paper (long: up to 40 pages OR short: 2 to 4 pages illustrating the scope and research of the project), following the guidelines of JDMDH, which can be found at http://jdmdh.episciences.org/page/submissions by January 31st 2016.

When books are broken up, collections dispersed, or a society's intellectual heritage is fragmented by time, nature, and human interventions, the act of piecing together the remains can lead to surprising insights about how and why books--the artifacts of our intellectual heritage--were produced, collected, and saved in the first place. Our aim is to examine various facets of the fragmentation of books, collections, and cultural heritages in literal, metaphorical, and philosophical terms. The topic also allows us to consider how the processes of both physical and virtual reconstitution inform our understanding of these artifacts and our relationship to them. The program begins Thursday evening, November 12, at the Free Library of Philadelphia, Parkway Central Library, with our keynote speaker Nicholas Pickwoad, Director of Ligatus http://www.ligatus.org.uk/ , a research center of the University of the Arts London with projects in historical libraries and archives, and a leading authority on the conservation and history of bookbindings. The symposium continues, November 13-14, at the Kislak Center of Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, with papers and workshops that delve into various aspects of fragmentation and reconstitution. The symposium will end with a roundtable discussion led William G. Noel, Director of SIMS, and Brian C. Rose, James B. Pritchard Professor of Archaeology, Professor of Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania on the historical, social, and political consequences of fragmentation and reconstitution in the cultural heritage sector.

Dear Willard, We already use the terms ‘ontological analysis’ and ‘conceptual modelling’. Maybe that covers more or less the same as ‘ontologizing’?

I will try to state this difference clearly, though in a way that fixes the shifting sands for purposes of argument. If you look on how we relate to software as makers, from a developer's point of view, then the participial 'ontologizing' or ('conceptual modelling') causes no stir, I'd assume. But if you look from the ordinary scholar's perspective, what you see is almost entirely shrink-wrapped products, fixed ontologies and conceptual models that are pre-cooked to allow you a bit of a tweak here and there but not fundamental redesign. Is that correct, even roughly? If it is, then what we're seeing is the old developer/user divide, moving with the progress of technology, but still there. In practical terms the obvious way to get around it is to learn enough to start messing with software directly -- to make software things oneself, as many here do. But meanwhile we still largely talk mostly as consumers rather than as makers. Education is the solution, and that's happening (is it on a large-enough scale?). But as a (side-)effect we are spawning a great swarm of ungrounded theorizing, which I'd assume those on the makers' side look on with more than a little dismay. Some strange things come of it. What makes this situation (changing what needs to be changed) essentially different from that elsewhere, e.g. in physics, between the theoreticians and experimentalists, or on a larger scale, with scientists and engineers? What needs to change for digital humanities?

Then Professor of Electrical Power Transmission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Bush wrote about his Integraph (predecessor of the Differential Analyzer), in the Tech Engineering News in 1928, vol. 9, and went on to comment, > An accurate, comprehensive machine of this sort is inherently > expensive, and hence we will see few such machines built for some > time. Rather it is to be expected that there will be a few centers > where work of this sort will be carried on, and where such devices > will be available to those who can use them to advantage. Does this remain a question of economics only? What have we lost (or what has resurfaced in other forms) with the passing of the time when to compute you had to walk a distance and enter a great place of hulking, noisy machinery?

It aims to bring together a large range of researchers and creators from a broad range of different country to present and exchange their work. Japanese video games have had great influence on gaming cultures around the world. During this conference, we will continue our efforts to look at the origins of Japanese gaming culture, placing a special focus on the birth and life of Pac-Man, and think about its interaction with global gaming culture and the role of localization. We especially invite researchers and students to submit papers and poster/demonstration proposals that are related to Pac-Man or issues of localization. We also invite a broad range of posters/demonstrations and papers dealing with game culture, education and games and the Japanese game industry from the perspectives of humanities, social sciences, business or education. We encourage poster/demonstration proposals of games or interactive projects. The range of possible topics includes (but is not limited to): Pac-Man and its legacy Localization of games Cross cultural study of games and toys East Asian Game Culture and Market Assessment of educational aspects of games Preservation of games and game culture Understanding player culture Close readings of specific games Comparative study of specific titles Game theory Game design Game industry (in Japan and transnationally) Marketing and financing the games industry Games and transmedia phenomena Games of chance Please send anonymized abstracts of no more than 500 words in English or Japanese via email to before January 20, 2016. Figures, tables and references, which do not count towards the 500 words, may be included on a second page. The following information should be in the accompanying email message: Type of submission (poster/demonstration or paper): Title of submission: Name of author(s): Affiliation(s): Address(es): Email address(es): Notification of acceptance will be sent out by February 28, 2016. While the language of this conference will be English, Abstracts, Posters and PowerPoint slides will be translated into both languages and communication assistance will be available for those who can’t present in English. We are working towards securing travel grants for graduate students and hope to provide more information in due time. The conference will be held just before GAMESCOM, possibly the world'™s largest interactive entertainment trade fair held in Cologne, Germany, from August 17 to 2. “ Consider adding a day after the conference to visit the fair. We hope to provide information on visiting the fair from Leipzig soon.

I think your sense of ontologizing fits with an understanding able to capture practice-based research if one sees it as iterative and creative process indeed. So not the models but the modelling, not the ready-made boxes, but the manipulation of (immaterial and material) ideas into one and another and another one model. The models are finite (and failing) but they realise a process that is imperfect and infinite. The latter is not a limitation but the engine. The gap between formal and informal classification is not a hinder to better digital humanities, but the reason why digital humanities can exist at all (at least that's what I thought I learned by reading you... and others and by doing digital humanities). Surely industrial design gives us finite beautiful and efficient products. Yet this hasn't stopped designers making new chairs. Ultimately the analogy breaks at some point, but I think it can be helpful to grasp the division between ready-made models and modelling. With others, I argued elsewhere that a semiotic understanding of modelling (following Björn Kralemann & Claas Lattmann (2013). Models as Icons: Modeling Models in the Semiotic Framework of Peirce's Theory of Signs. Synthese 190 (16):3397-3420) not only is helpful to capture this dinamycity and openness of modelling as a process of signification, but also allows us to bring to the fore 'the end' of the modelling (meaning also the classifying), the purpose, the scope, the why we do it. On another note, personally, while I think it's very important to craft and play by hand, I am not sure every digital humanities scholar should be a fully fledged maker (I am aware this debate has probably already exhausted its flow elsewhere). I believe in communication and mediation. One has to know how much one can about the human and mechanic principles of technology but mainly to be able to talk with, interact meaningfully with and understand those who master them; we don't all make chairs. Some imagine them and draw them. It's not a hierarchy, it's a design team.

If such an illumination is in danger of being prevented by the schism between the producer and the consumer of computer software, a change in the 'modes of production' (is this what you are recommending?) is not necessarily at stake. It would be sufficient to teach the basics of programming and to mould solutions to suit local needs.

I don’t know any other way to proceed other than to find a sample, make it representative (at least) of a local pattern or phenomenon, and then find other samples that are analogous — but sufficiently different to be interesting, and to change our original pattern. Maybe an example will clarify what I mean. My project concerns rhetorical figures like *gradatio*, starting with Shakespeare (e.g. “My conscience has a thousand several *tongues*, and every *tongue* brings in a several *tale*, and every *tale* condemns me for a villain.”) It's easy enough to model this arrangement of repeating words, and indeed my colleagues are building an ontology of figures expressed through a series of regular expressions. But we find as we deploy those regular expressions on various texts that we get odd examples of *gradatio* that challenge or (better) expand and complicate our original models. Take this example: Yes, for although he had as many lives, As a thousand widows, and a thousand wives, As a thousand lions, and a thousand rats, A thousand wolves, and a thousand cats, A thousand bulls, and a thousand calves, And a thousand legions divided in halves, He shall never scape death on my sword's point, It’s not an ordinary list, but a series of *anaphoras* (repeated words at the beginnings of clauses); each clause is also an *isocolon*, each of equal length and similar structure. Is it 'really' *gradatio*? Only if we're exceedingly generous in our definition of the figure, I think. Or this: Upon 'em, upon 'em, upon 'em, they fly, they fly, they fly. This is two 3-part *isocolons* in series, with no sense of successive movement or growth. So we refine our original ideas, adjust the script looking for them, and shift our models. That’s how literary criticism (or really, any inquiry) ought to work, right? You begin with a model, you find instances that complicate it, and you build a new model on that expanded base of evidence. I’ve written a bit more about this here. 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 5EB266D45; Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:34:49 +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 C181A6D41; Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:34:48 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A20016D40; Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:34:45 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20151031083445.A20016D40@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2015 09:34:45 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.438 the computing centre 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: <20151031083449.11219.51344@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 438.

When remembering computer centres with their huge, intently chattering mainframe machines and users I recall a story in The Psychology of Computer Programming by Gerald Weinberg (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1660754.The_Psychology_of_Computer_Programming). Post-grad students who were employed at a US University in the '60/70s to provide a computing helpdesk service to other users started complaining to the administration that they had suddenly been inundated with work and that they couldn't cope. On investigation it was realised that some short time before, in a reorganisation and general tidying-up of the computer suite (probably driven by Health&Safety issues!), the coffee machine had been taken away. Users, having collected their output, would stand untidily around the machine and chat through any errors that the output showed up, and more often than not they would solve their own problems by talking them through with other users. But when they didn't have the coffee machine to stand around they went straight to the helpdesk! Management had inadvertently deprived users from the benefits of interacting informally with other users (potentially from other disciplines) and learning for themselves at the water-cooler/coffee machine and had increased the workload on the helpdesk. Modern, tiny, silent laptops with much more power than 'ye olde mainframes' unfortunately afford users the ability to compute in the privacy and seclusion of their office or home; talking through programming difficulties with non-faculty on an enforced interdisciplinary coffee break is now no longer an option. Plus, of course, the exercise was good for you, computer centres were never very close!

That seems to me not the problem. The problem seems to be that until they are completely built people don't believe they are possible and this makes the whole process of building them far more difficult than it needs to be. This problem extends to the ability to see the potential of initial versions (often built using limit resources and therefore often with initial implementation limitations and flaws) and having the vision to see how these first versions can develop into more sophisticated community 'products'. Doesn't this relate to your Margaret Masterman vision point. It would be good to have more humanist makers, but good humanist makers also need to jettison a lot technological legacy that has built up and exerts too much influence, still allowing technology to determine the models rather than the subject and the subject experts. Humanists need understand the ontological world and to be empowered to change the rules about (and own) representing their information at the same time as venturing into the maker world. Currently, the former seems to be a priority, more realistic in the short term, and a pre-requisite for the latter.

Interfaces of Play and Game: Engaging Media Ecosystems June 23-26, 2016 University of Bologna Bologna, Italy MEA Convention Coordinators: Paolo Granata, Elena Lamberti, Brett Lunceford UNIBO Coordinators: Roberto Farnè, Mirco Dondi The University of Bologna, Italy, is proud to bring the Media Ecology Association to Europe for the first time and host the 17th Annual Convention in Bologna and Rimini on June 23-26, 2016. Considered the oldest university in the Western world, the history of the University of Bologna speaks to its role as the crossroads of a variety of scholarly traditions and changes involving the broader society. The University of Bologna provides a welcoming setting for old and new MEA members, inviting scholars, professionals, and interested people to attend from different fields, as well as from different nations. The 17th Annual Convention, focusing on the theme “Interfaces of Play and Game,” invites papers, panels and creative projects exploring the topic within complex media ecosystems. We encourage participants to start from an appreciation of game and play in the broader context of media ecology, therefore overcoming too specialized understanding of both terms. Playing with Johan Huizinga’s idea that game and play are older than culture, we seek to recall the multifaceted symbolic dimensions embedded by these very terms: at its roots the word game means participation, communion, and people together; similarly, the word play introduces the ideas of cultivating, taking care of, and performing. Therefore interfaces of play and game engage us in a plurality of explorations, all placing media and media environments at the core. Lines of investigations may include but are not limited to the following: · game/play as frames for meta-communication · game/play as rituals · game/play as strategies for storytelling · game/play as self/meta-representations · game/play as entertainment · game/play as educational strategies · game/play as system and complexity theories Although we encourage submissions that touch upon or align with the convention theme, papers, abstracts, and panel proposal submissions from all areas of Media Ecology are welcome. A maximum of two submissions per author will be accepted. Authors who wish their papers to be considered for the Top Paper or Top Student Paper award must indicate this on their submission(s). The top papers will be published in Explorations in Media Ecology. All submissions will be acknowledged. The language of the convention is English. Guidelines for Submission (Deadline extended to December 1, 2015) Please submit all papers, panels, and proposals to https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mea2016 [...] _______________________________________________ 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 146D46B7C; Mon, 2 Nov 2015 12:26:16 +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 6107A6A1B; Mon, 2 Nov 2015 12:26:15 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 24A546A1B; Mon, 2 Nov 2015 12:26:13 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151102112613.24A546A1B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 12:26:13 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.443 ontologizing 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: <20151102112615.8741.54384@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 443.

E. R. Lloyd's immensely important and impressively brief new book, Analogical Investigations (2015), helps us along: > Epistemology... is not the bogey-man it has been represented as being > by those who suspect that it is merely a covert way of denying > others' claims to know. The multidimensionality of what is there to > be known cannot help but generate a multidimensionality of ways of > knowing. (pp. 25f) How does Mr Turing's scheme match up with this multidimensionality? Is it necessarily reductive, and if so, is its reductiveness (my spell-checker objects, so I stop to teach it a new word) necessarily a dead-end?

 30 November – 4 December 2015, Copenhagen

, Denmark Conference website: http://icids2015.aau.dk/ Many researchers, practitioners, artists, producers and other interested participants have already registered for ICIDS 2015, and we hope that you would also like to join us in Cozy Copenhagen in December.
 This year, the Eight International Conference on Interactive Digital Storytelling (ICIDS 8) will take place in Denmark at Aalborg University’s campus in central Copenhagen, Denmark, marking the conference’s return to Europe. ICIDS is the premier annual venue that gathers researchers, developers, practitioners and theorists to present and share the latest innovations, insights and techniques in the expanding field of interactive storytelling and the technologies that support it. The field regroups a highly dynamic and interdisciplinary community, in which narrative studies, computer science, interactive and immersive technologies, the arts, and creativity converge to develop new expressive forms in a myriad of domains that include artistic projects, interactive documentaries, cinematic games, serious games, assistive technologies, edutainment, education pedagogy, museum science, advertisement and entertainment, to mention a few. The conference has a long-standing tradition of bringing together academia, industry, designers, developers and artists into an interdisciplinary dialogue through a mix of keynote lectures, long and short article presentations, posters, workshops, and very lively demo sessions. Additionally, since 2010, ICIDS has been hosting an international art exhibition open to the general public. We warmly welcome researchers, practitioners, indie developers, industry partners and all other interested parties to join us in Copenhagen for ICIDS 2015!

In addition, we accepted 13 submissions as short papers, 9 submissions as posters, and 3 submissions as demonstrations, including some long papers that qualified to participate within one of these categories. In total, the ICIDS 2015 program featured contributions from 48 different institutions in 18 different countries worldwide. http://icids2015.aau.dk/program/accepted-contributions/ * Keynote Speakers * The invited speakers for the conference so far are: Chris Crawford, Game Design veteran, Interactive Storytelling pioneer and designer of Siboot.

Early career, in this context, usually extends from the later stages of doctoral work to up to 10 years since award of a PhD. The recipient need not be affiliated with an institution. 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 this coming year at the University of Calgary in the spring of 2016. An invitation to serve on the editorial board of Digital Studies/Le champ numérique will also be offered to the recipient. This award is typically given to an early-career scholar whose work relates to any area of the digital humanities, broadly conceived, whether theoretical, critical, applied, or in the area of community building. Evidence of scholarship may take the form of print or online publications, a design portfolio, fabrications, prototypes or tools, or a production system. Work produced by a member of a larger collaborative team may be considered for this award; in such a case, the nomination should include a letter from the leader of the team (which may be the nominee her or himself) explaining the nature of the nominee’s contribution to the team activities. The award will be given for work that, in the opinion of the CSDH/SCHN Awards Committee, constitutes a significant contribution to the field. Nominations of up to 500 words must be submitted by November 30, 2015. Only 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, and confirm with nominees whether they are willing to be considered, in December 2015. We will then request the submission of supporting material (CV, letters of support, and access to contributions or projects if not readily accessible) by January 15, 2016. Adjudication of the award will be conducted by the CSDH/SCHN Awards Committee (Dean Irvine, Dominic Forest, 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.

The Ayrton Prize recognises outstanding web projects and digital engagement in the history of science, technology and medicine. The prize name was chosen by members of the BSHS from a shortlist to recognize the major contributions of Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923) to numerous scientific fields, especially electrical engineering and mathematics, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The shortlist was compiled by members of the BSHS’s Outreach and Education Committee and reflect the broad range of entries. The shortlist is: Board of Longitude Papers (Cambridge University Library) http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/longitude Digital Stories (Wellcome Collection) http://digitalstories.wellcomecollection.org/ The Equatorie of the Planetis (Peterhouse, Cambridge) http://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/view/MS-PETERHOUSE-00075-00001/1 The Recipes Project (The Recipes Project Group) http://recipes.hypotheses.org/ Science Gossip (University of Leicester/Missouri Botanical Garden/Zooniverse Project) http://www.sciencegossip.org/ Voices of Science (British Library/National Life Stories) http://www.bl.uk/voices-of-science BSHS members can vote here: http://www.bshs.org.uk/ayrton-prize-2015 If you are not a member of BSHS, perhaps now is a good time to join! http://www.bshs.org.uk/membership/join-online --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 16:52:56 +0000 From: Sally Frampton Subject: Digital humanities projects Dear All, Anyone interested in the use of new digital humanities tools - particularly the relevance of 'citizen science/humanities' - might be interested in three projects which are being produced in collaboration with the ARHC funded project Constructing Scientific Communities: Citizen Science in the 19th and 21st Centuries (www.conscicom.org http://www.conscicom.org ) and Zooniverse (www.zooniverse.org http://www.zooniverse.org ) Science Gossip (www.sciencegossip.org http://www.sciencegossip.org ) was launched in March of 2015, and asks participants to classify illustrations in 19th Century natural history journals in order to produce new historical and scientific information on historical species and the participants and illustrators in Victorian natural history. In collaboration with the Biodiversity Heritage Library, (www.biodiversitylibrary.org) we have created website which both improves the image search function of a key digital resource, while at the same time uncovering hundreds of previously un-researched participants in sciences from Geology to Archaeology. The project has been very successful, attracting ~8000 participants who have made over 400,000 classifications, accounting for 120,000 classified pages from 18 different journals. Science Gossip has also recently been shortlisted for the BSHS Ayrton prize, which is an inaugural award for websites which engage with HSTM material. (www.bshs.org.uk/ayrton-prize-2015 http://www.bshs.org.uk/ayrton-prize-2015 ) Orchid Observers (www.orchidobservers.org http://www.orchidobservers.org ) came out of a collaboration between Zooniverse and the Natural history Museum and is the first project which utilized citizen scientists to both produce the data which goes on to the website, and analyse the data once uploaded. Launched at the start of the Orchid blooming season this year, Orchid Observers asked participants to upload images of orchids found across the British Isles, and once online for users to identify species and habitat, creating an essential new database of Orchid blooming for botanists. The users also have the option of classifying images of historical herbarium sheets from the NHM archives, which will allow researchers to compare historical and modern Orchid specimens. Constructing Scientific Communities is also developing Diagnosis London in collaboration with the Wellcome Library, a new citizen humanities project focused on the Medical Officer of Health reports for 19th and 20th century London.

Each year, DHSI instructors welcome participants with an outline of what materials they will be covering throughout the Institute. Typically collegial and informal, this particular welcome session took on a Harry Potter theme, with the majority of instructors promising to teach students new bouts of computational wizardry. When the turn of David Hoover came, there was a change to the theme. Professor Hoover, an eminent figure in the field of computational stylistics, was quick to point out that participants would not be doing magical things with computers, but rather, using computers to assist their understanding of the magic that is literature." It's a sentiment which I believe we would all do well to remember as we go about our work as digital humanists.

The danger of trying to analyse the drone is that we reproduce the image of this theological or metaphysical power, embracing the discourse of techno-fetishism that surrounds it. Here I analyse this discourse primarily through a series of literary, visual, and philosophical discourses that while pre-drone predict and probe the metaphysics of drones. This metaphysics toys with the possibility of a fully-automated or subject-less weapon, which integrates and deploys the human. Counter-drone discourses have tended to emphasise the human element in the “kill-chain” to disrupt this discourse of technological perfection. This is necessary, but my concern is with how notions of integration, acceleration, and “loading” suggest the drone “assemblage” is one which constantly includes the human through transforming the human into a dream of transcendence. The attempt to stress the banality of the drone as just another weapon does not counter this metaphysics, which aims to integrate the messy materiality of the human into “autonomous acceleration.” To resort to messy materiality as a counter remains within the ambit of drone metaphysics and instead, I suggest, we have to attend to the disruption and negations at work within the discourse of transformation and acceleration that surrounds and finds its destination in the drone.

The motivation for investigating serendipity comes from its association with positive outcomes that range from personal benefits to global rewards. To date, research has made significant headway in defining and mapping the process of serendipity and new tools are emerging to support it. But we lack robust methods of evaluating new or enhanced features, functions, and tools. The goal of the Workshop is to examine how we balance the tension between diversity and novelty in designing digital environments and subsequently how we evaluate the ‘serendipitousness’ of those environments. We invite participants from a range of disciplines (e.g., information science, HCI, digital humanities, cognitive science) and research perspectives to help us solve this wicked problem. *How to participate* Submit a 2-page paper using the ACM SIG Proceedings Template http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates about your ongoing work, recent results, or study methods related to serendipity, either published, or work in progress. Possible themes for these papers may include, but are not limited to: Evaluating whether or how digital environments enable serendipity 1. Use of qualitative methods such as interviews and think-aloud to evaluate user perceptions 2. Modifications to quantitative evaluation methods such as controlled experiments and log file analyses to test designs 3. Identification of factors other than the environment (e.g., context, individual differences, strategies, emotions, attitudes) that influence serendipity that should be taken into consideration during evaluation Designing elements and functions in digital environments so that serendipity is facilitated 1. Application of theory and models in the design (or evaluation) of affordances related to serendipity 2. Design of serendipitous digital environments (e.g., information visualization systems, recommender systems, digital libraries, search engines) Authors of selected papers will be asked to A) give “lightning talks” on their work through a 5-minute presentation; or B) participate in a “show and tell event” to demonstrate their project or prototype. In addition, just prior to and during the workshop we will be conducting a whirlwind Delphi study to identify essential and novel measures for assessing “serendipitousness.” The results of the group effort will be discussed at the Workshop to highlight pertinent measures. At least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop and all participants much register for the workshop. **Submissions and inquiries can be sent to Lori McCay-Peet [mccay@dal.ca]** *Important dates* 1.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 09:30:28 -0600 From: Shawna Ross Subject: CFP: Cluster on Modernist Digital Humanities for Modernism/modernity From Practice to Theory: A Forum on the Future of Modernism and Digital Humanities We are seeking argumentative position papers for “From Practice to Theory: A Forum on the Future of Digital Humanities and Modernist Studies,” a prospective peer-reviewed cluster for the Modernism/modernity Print-Plus Platform. From digital archives (The Modernist Journals Project, Modernist Magazines Project, Modernist Versions Project, the Modernism Lab) to digital production platforms (Modernist Commons); from experimental reading practices (Infinite Ulysses, The Hypertext Waste Land) to recovery projects (Orlando, The Modernist Archives Publishing Project), scholarship in modernism has been at the forefront of digital humanities practice. As the twentieth anniversary of the Modernist Journals Project approaches, such scholarship is ceasing to be a novelty, and it appears that a distinctive digital humanities particularly of and for modernism could emerge. Given that this is a moment of transition in modes of scholarly research, what could this modernist digital humanities look like? This cluster will theorize emergent or possible relationships between modernism and the digital humanities and seeks to consider recent digital projects and/or scholarship in order to distil original theses about “the modernist digital humanities.” Why does it seem so productive to use digital humanities methods to explore modernism? Are the digital humanities reinventing or rebooting a kind of modernism? What new models of modernism could emerge out of our engagement with digital tools? Papers might address: · Definitions of digital humanities tailored for modernism · Definitions of modernism as seen through the lens of digital humanities · New genres or types of modernist digital humanities scholarship · The modernist roots of contemporary digital cultures · The limits of digital humanities for understanding modernism · Barriers or threats to digital scholarship, especially those specific to modernist studies · The political affordances—or blindnesses—of digital humanities in addressing questions of gender, sexuality, race, empire, class, religion, etc · The economic or vocational contexts of digital scholarship, including literal costs and the question of professionalization in a difficult job market · The relationship between modernist digital scholarship and pedagogy Preference will be given to polemical essays that reflect upon the position of digital humanities within modernist scholarship. Readings or examples from modernist art and literature should primarily be used in the service of this larger thesis, not as ends in and of themselves. Please submit abstracts of 400 words Shawna Ross (shawnaross@tamu.edu) by December 15, 2015. The Print Plus Platform is an online environment, and we welcome and encourage electronic supplements to your writing (data, images, film, code, demo).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2015 06:44:36 +0000 From: Wendell Piez Subject: maker and user In-Reply-To: Dear Willard, Arianna and HUMANIST, Arianna writes: "On another note, personally, while I think it's very important to craft and play by hand, I am not sure every digital humanities scholar should be a fully fledged maker (I am aware this debate has probably already exhausted its flow elsewhere). I believe in communication and mediation. One has to know how much one can about the human and mechanic principles of technology but mainly to be able to talk with, interact meaningfully with and understand those who master them; we don't all make chairs. Some imagine them and draw them. It's not a hierarchy, it's a design team." The reason this has been a problem and will continue to be is irreducible, on both sides of the "maker"/"user" divide: I like to call it the "three lifetimes problem". In answering why I do not learn to do this or that (maybe very enticing and wonderful thing) I sometimes plead that I will have to do it in my third lifetime. The first lifetime is the life I am living. The second lifetime is when I will learn everything I have promised myself I will learn, but cannot, due to how over-full the first lifetime already is. The third lifetime is when I will learn everything I would like to learn, but that does not fit in the second. Fortunately, the third lifetime seems to be infinitely extensible. At least, it will be very very busy. But we don't all have to learn everything and there is more to this than that we don't have the talent -- or just haven't been bitten by that particular bug. Thank goodness we have each other! There might, I agree, be more ungrounded theory in the air than there should be, but when has that not been the case? We can still reflect that grounding is possible -- and yes, even a "non-expert" can be grounded if not always by direct knowledge and experience, then by a critical, realistic and honest attitude, candid if not always perfectly disinterested -- Keats' "Negative Capability" too can be a ground. This means that it is also possible -- even without special expertise -- to tell the difference between claims that are grounded and those that are not. Yet at the same time, the proliferation of magisteria is so immense that even the deepest experts can be reminded of their own ignorance, if they only look up for a minute. We think it's about knowledge, experience and authority, when it is first a matter of attitude, the soil in which those other things grow. (I am only agreeing with Arianna.) Then they grow, and there is that. Let the big old weeds not crowd out the little ones. I think a big part of the problem is magical thinking on all sides. People persist in thinking the machine is magical and treating it as a kind of fetish, intelligible only to initiates, a site of special power to be approached -- or guarded -- with enforced reverence and piety. This includes both those who "don't know" (despite the enormous amount they may have learned, in this lifetime) and those who supposedly do, even when their knowledge amounts to how to set up trapdoors and mirrors. Whereas the reality is that these machines are powerful and magical, but only because we are.

The workshop will offer a basic introduction to the principles behind 3D imaging, modelling and representation of terrain and elevation, and how these can be used in research as well as visualisation. It will also give participants hands-on experience using simple and free software packages to produce complete 3D models and visualizations, with methods easily transferable to their own research. No previous digital experience is required, but participants should bring a laptop and a digital camera or smartphone and be prepared to install some free software in advance of the workshop. The workshop will be taught by Valeria Vitale (KCL/RHUL) and Gabriel Bodard (ICS). This workshop has been made possible by the generous support of the LAHP and AHRC. Registration is free.

We are short of money, because the plan is to fund all campers coming from Cuba, but we welcome with open arms anyone who wants to join from ADHO or elsewhere, provided they are in a position to cover their own expenses. Please note that Nueva Gerona is a difficult place to access: if you do not have tickets by December, you may not be able to make it. The advantage of having the event in Nueva Gerona is that the town is small, inexpensive, beautiful and has good connectivity by Cuban standards. We would also appreciate any recommendations for funding sources, and/or donations. Of course, remember that Cuba is still "outside the world" for many transactions, so we have designated Alex Gil as our bridge. [Alex Gil here, please let me know if you are interested in participating or contributing to this event. I am building a page on the THATCamp site soon]. 2015-11-04 0:03 GMT-05:00 Yasmín S.

In the 7th chapter "The Order of Civilization" he draws upon the work of historian Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy to posit various layers with different speeds for innovation and stabilization. I thought of the idea of layers proceeding with different temporalities might be applied to a computing in the humanities context. The project, the career of the scholar, the life-cycle of the centre or department, the longue durée of the discipline... how each unfolds at its own pace and how some are the source of innovation and some are the anchors of continuity. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ 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 AF5A06D07; Fri, 6 Nov 2015 07:42:09 +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 149A46D06; Fri, 6 Nov 2015 07:42:09 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 923936CFD; Fri, 6 Nov 2015 07:42:07 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151106064207.923936CFD@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 07:42:07 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.458 pubs: new journal of design 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: <20151106064209.6896.12750@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 458.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 20:38:53 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: how to structure an article For some time I've thought that in at least some instances articles in digital humanities strain against the conventional genre common to the humanities. Conventionally, that is, articles present an argument that is we read sequentially but is essentially timeless. Nothing remains of the process that the author went through in doing the research -- nor would we want it to. For an article in digital humanities, however, the process can be a major part of what is communicated. That suggests a different genre. Long ago I devised a guide for undergraduates to writing what I called an "essay-report", in part derived from the structure of the standard lab report (the example I used was from chemistry). But it would be good to know what others have done. If anyone would like to see my attempt please send me a note. I would assume we want a genre that both presents the argument as usual and describes whatever the author did with the tools involved -- the experiment. The trouble with many instances of the technical report is that it does little more than fill out the blanks of a template. It's the results that matter. There's a "discussion" section at the end but often not much by way of historical background, theoretical discussion, reflection. I'd suppose this is because the imperative of replication stands over the author, frowning down on anything unique. All suggestions most welcome.

Best regards, Dagmar Mrozik === Workshop description In recent years, an ever growing number of scholars in the humanities have realized the benefits they can gain from using digital methods in their work. This holds particularly true when it comes to dealing with large amounts of similarly structured information, as is the case in the study of early modern Jesuit science: biographical information of the involved actors, bibliographical information of published scientific works and unofficial manuscripts, chronologies of colleges and their scientific chairs, and so on. In order to record, categorize, and then map out all this data in a sensible way, it would only seem obvious to use computers, thus allowing for truly comprehensive studies to be made. In our workshop "Early modern Jesuit science in a digital perspective - The Jesuit Science Network", we want to discuss such digital approaches in practice. As a particular example, we want to present the titular Jesuit Science Network (JSN), a biographical database on Jesuit scholars in early modern science that is currently in its last stages of development at Wuppertal University. After completion, it will contain around 1000 entries and will be put online for other researchers to use (expected launch mid 2016). Aside from discussing the JSN, the workshop also wants to give opportunities to address other digital methods and how the study of early modern Jesuit science can benefit from them.

Special relevance in this respect belongs to Natural Language Processing as a core sub-discipline of computer science. Recent advances in statistical approaches to recognising word embeddings and topic models have been leveraged successfully by scholars in diverse areas such as history, literary studies and linguistics. The DARIAH NLP-WG invite participation from practitioners, researchers, scholars and experts in areas including topic modelling, word embedding, literary scholarship, history and the digital humanities. A portion of the workshop will be dedicated to organising and planning future WG activities, both Virtual and Physical. This expert workshop agenda will include position papers and experience reports on the use of corpus analysis and topic modelling tools, their implications in different domains.

Academic Book Week (9-16 Nov) is next week! With a constellation of events being showcased all around the UK from Sussex to Edinburgh, this week highlights the wonderful work done by booksellers, libraries, academics, and publishers, and discusses the academic book across a spectrum of perspectives. Please find below the collected events–scroll through to see what is happening near you! We have also just announced some competitions and offers that will be happening during the week! Including but not limited to winning an #AcBookWeek tote bag, winning a special leather-bound edition of “The Complete Works of Shakespeare”, and 50% off all academic books and classics at Southcart Books. Find out about them more on this page . With so much happening, it will be hard to choose–we know we are already having trouble deciding between events. Come to as many as you can, and help support the future of the academic book! ​Cambridge ​Cambridge will be hosting an exhibit for the entire week at the University Library, presenting a selection of books showing examples of the way readers have interacted with their textbooks from the fifteenth to twentieth centuries. And on the 9th November Dr Rosalind Grooms and Kevin Taylor explore how Cambridge has shaped the world of academic publishing, starting way back in 1534. Oxford There are four events taking place in Oxford throughout the week. On the 9th November Frank Furedi, Professor of Sociology at University of Kent, discusses his new book “The Power of Reading” . Furedi has constructed an eclectic and entirely original history of reading, and will deliver a similarly exciting discussion on the historical relevance of the reader. Peter Lang Oxford are showcasing a book exhibit presenting the past and present of the academic book from the 9th-16th November , this event requires no registration so just drop in anytime to have a look! On the 11th November Peter Lang again presents J. Khalfa and I. Chol who have recently published “Spaces of the Book”, exploring the life of books ‘beyond the page’. This launch will be followed by a drinks reception and discussion of the aforementioned week-long exhibit. The Oxford events culminate on the 12th November with a panel discussion on The Future of the Academic Monograph ; four panelists and two respondents will address issues from their personal perspectives including academic librarianship, academic publishing, and academic bookselling. Edinburgh Edinburgh plays host to a series of debates around digital text during the week. The first is on the 9th November and the debate will cover online text and learning , the second on the 10th covers digital text and publishing , the third on the 11th covers open access textbooks , and the fourth on the 12th covers online learning . With speakers from eclectic backgrounds and unique perspectives these offer informative and insightful discussions. The week in Edinburgh finishes up on the 13th with a debate on the subject Is the Book Dead? This promises to be an interesting event with speakers from the Bookseller’s Association and Scottish Publishing covering issues about the future of books and reading. Liverpool Liverpool launches their Academic Book Week events with a talk at the University of Liverpool with Simon Tanner as keynote speaker, and a subsequent overview of the week’s events. Simon will speak on ‘The Academic Book of the Future and Communities of Practice’ with Charles Forsdick and Claire Taylor responding from the perspectives of Translating Cultures and Digital Transformations, respectively. On the 10th November Claire Hooper of Liverpool University Press and Charlie Rapple from Kudos present ideas on how to promote your academic book via Kudos and social media, a fitting topic when thinking specifically about the future of the academic book. On the 11th Gina D’Oca of Palgrave MacMillan will speak about open access monographs and a representative from Liverpool University Press will give their perspective. The last event in Liverpool takes place on the 12th and will focus on the academic book as a free available source for students . Academics, librarians, and university presses should work together to create free open access sources for students, but how? Find out here! Glasgow John Smith’s Glasgow hosts all of the events taking place in the city throughout the week. The first night on the 9th the bookstore will stay open late and from 5:30-7:30pm all customers will receive special one-night-only discounts on items not already discounted! There will also be refreshments so there’s no excuse not to come and celebrate the longstanding partnership between John Smith’s and the University of Glasgow. On the 10th the bookstore hosts the launch of Iain Macwhirter’s new book , “Tsuanmi: Scotland’s Democratic Revolution”. On the 11th - purposefully coinciding with Armistice Day - John Smith’s caters an evening of discussion and readings exploring Edwin Morgan’s unique contribution to Scotland’s poetry in response to war. With readings and contributions from friends and trustees of Edwin Morgan this evening will be a personal and creative contribution to the week. John Smith’s unique events don’t stop there! On the 12th Louise Welsh, Professor of Creative Writing at Glasgow University, discusses her recent novels and the editing of a new anthology of supernatural stories - a perfectly atmospheric evening for the cold autumn evenings. John Smith’s last event takes place on the 13th , author and astronomer (what a combination!) Dr. Pippa Goldschmidt discusses co-editing a new collection “I Am Because You Are”. She will be joined by contributor Neil Williamson as they talk science and fiction. London London has a large amount of events happening starting with a debate focusing on how the evolving technologies of the book have changed the way we read at The School of Advanced Study. The 10th sees two other events: Blackwell’s at UCL hosts the book launch of Shirley Simon’s “Narratives of Doctoral Studies in Science Education” and Rowman & Littlefield International offer a panel event on interdisciplinary publishing and research . The question being asked is how do academics and publishers reach a diverse, multidisciplinary audience and the panel will be followed by a Q&A session. The 11th plays host to two events: Palgrave MacMillan’s premiere academic series in the history of the book is being launched and elsewhere Charlotte Frost outlines the future of the art history book . She asks ‘what should the art history book of the future look like and what should it do differently for the discipline to evolve?’ Since 2015 marks the 400th anniversary of Richard Baxter’s birth, a symposium to honour his life and assess his significance takes place on the 13th, as well as a panel discussion at the Wellcome Collection specifically targeting questions related to STM publishing and issues facing humanities research. Hertfordshire & Cardiff We have one event happening in Hertfordshire in conjunction with the University of Hertfordshire Press and Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies! This is for anyone considering getting their research published as it addresses local history and publishing combined in an effort to help and advise about writing book proposals and approaching publishers. Similarly, in Cardiff there is an event on the 11th November utilising a forum to discuss innovative Open Access academic publishing ventures . Manchester & Bristol In Manchester on the 11th there will be a panel discussion presented by Digital Humanities Manchester and the University of Manchester Library as they get to the root of the issues presented in academic publishing. Multiple perspectives will make this a fascinating event as panelists attempt to answer questions such as what is the future of the academic long-form publication in the evolving publishing landscape? And is there still a future for the physical book? And in Bristol on the 10th November a panel tackles the questions facing the academic book from the perspective of the panel and the audience. Sussex & Sheffield In Sussex on the 11th there is a similar panel discussion ; three speakers from different backgrounds grapple with the transformation of the academic book and what that will mean for the future. On the 11th in Sheffield an important and fascinating question is asked: Should we trust Wikipedia? Librarians and scholars from a range of backgrounds discuss the validity of information on there and address questions of integrity surrounding digital publishing. Sheffield finishes off Academic Book Week on the 13th with an open afternoon in the University of Sheffield Library’s Special Collections , introducing visitors to treasures from their collection. Dundee & Stirling Dundee and Stirling partake in the excitement of the week also! On the 11th November Dundee presents the Wikipedia Edit-A-Thon as part of the NEoN Digital Arts Festival and on the 13th a mini-symposium focused on the intersection of tradition and craft with the digital transformation of art and design. In Stirling on the 12th John Watson, Commissioning Editor for Law, Scottish Studies & Scottish History at Edinburgh University Press will be speaking to students of the Stirling Centre for International Publishing and Communication about academic publishing and his role as a commissioning editor. Leicester & Nottingham When we mentioned that events were happening all over the country we weren’t lying! If you are near the Midlands, DeMontford University is bringing together PhD students to think about the future of the English PhD and the future training of English academics. And last but not least on the 12th in Nottingham Sprinting to the Open FuTure takes place - a panel discussion event bringing together those who interact with academic books to explore questions about how students and staff publish, and the challenges they face.

In-Reply-To: <20151107094505.BF13F6CFD@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, though I am not 100% sure if this is what you mean, but I think points in the right direction: This blog post/article by the dlina group came to my mind: "A (Not So) Simple Question and a Somewhat Diabolic Answer" by Frank Fischer and Mathias Göbel -- 18 Jun 2015, http://dlina.github.io/A-Not-So-Simple-Question/. What I like about it and seems to me to be in line with your question is that it decribes an iterative process in detail and so the "structure" is mostly defined by the steps in this process and not by the typical order of intro -- argument -- conclusion -- little discussion. Needless to say, I don't think that it is "ridiculously long" as the authors say as a bold-faced warning in their preliminary remark, but necessarily so. (It comes down to some 10 or 11 pages if you copy&paste it into a page-based word processor, which still seems to be rather short compared to an average research article e.g. in some conference proceedings.) Although you could imagine reading this article in print, the post works much better in the interconnected way it is presented online. Its value in my view is that it documents every step in detail: the processing of the data, it motivates the choices for integrating or discarding certain documents while building the corpus, it also encourages the reader to 'do-it-himself' and even offers the scripts/tools used by the authors in the process. It also links to the original collection they started from and to the manipulated/curated data set on the project's GitHub account. This, I think, is a fine example of what you ask for: an article fully documenting the "process that the author[s] went through in doing the research". Of course, the post is just one example that popped into my mind -- most likely just because I recently read it --, and I could think of several other and some even better examples of this kind of presentation, reflecting and practically, transparently applying DH-methods & -tools to a collection of resources with the clear intent towards answering a genuine research question. But still I guess you wouldn't find an awful lot more examples, as the 'typical' kind of article even from a DH context (unfortunately) still is more commonly structured. Concerning your own work, you ask if anyone would like to see your "attempt": Yes, I'd like to, if you want to send it off-list, but maybe you can even put it online in an etherpad or the like for all Humanist readers (and people outside this circle of course) to comment upon and maybe even interfere with/alter your proposed text.

An uneditable pdf can be accessed at http://tinyurl.com/essay-report-original I must stress that this was written a decade ago for 1st-year undergraduates with the specific purpose of getting them to pay attention to the process of exploring their chosen texts with concordance tools and the like. Improvements to the document for that purpose would be welcome. But what I am interested in now are ideas toward ways of writing academic articles on the basis of research for which computing is essential. I say "ways" because the intended audience will vary, from scholars who might take an interest in description of how results useful to the argument were obtained, to those equally at home with technical matters and with traditional scholarship. I suspect that this is not a question of inventing a new genre or genres but of assembling examples from work that has been going on since my original attempt in 2004. I also suspect that a very useful -- and popular -- book could be written on the subject.

In-Reply-To: <20151107094505.BF13F6CFD@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Stéfan Sinclair and I are experimenting with iPython and Mathematica notebooks that allow us to embed code and narrative in the same document so the writing about past analytics can be read and run. An example can be see at: https://github.com/sgsinclair/epistemologica/blob/master/Smith-Imagery.ipynb We have been inspired in part by the work of Matthew Wilkens who connects essays, notebooks, and data. See, for example his MLA essay on "Literary Attention Lag" at: http://mattwilkens.com/2015/01/13/literary-attention-lag/ The notebook is at: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/wilkens/ed8b6eaa35497d2cd491 I should add that the problem of how to weave argument, technique, and data together is something we are struggling with on the NovelTM project (http://novel-tm.ca/). Given that some of our experiments have messy code and deal with data behind datawalls we need to find ways to share techniques and sample data sets that others can make sense of and try without violating copyright. I believe that the digital humanities has a history of prototyping new forms of scholarship and, as we see more research using big data sets we should welcome graceful experiments in the sharing of techniques and data. Lets help people learn from, challenge, and otherwise engage with digital humanities research. In sum, I would love to learn more about your attempt.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2015 11:37:45 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: resistance and process In light of responses on a genre or genres for digital humanities, and indeed the importance of what is being recorded in the notes on which the writing may depend, the following quotation from James Clerk Maxwell, in a letter to R. B. Litchfield on 5 March 1858, may be of considerable interest: > The chief philosophical value of physics is that it gives the mind > something distinct to lay hold of, which, if you don't, Nature at > once tells you you are wrong. Now, every stage of this conquest of > truth leaves a more or less presentable trace on the memory, so that > materials are furnished here more than anywhere else for the > investigation of the great question, ''How does Knowledge come?" With apologies to Maxwell allow me to suggest, given our disciplinary and historical contexts, the following revision: > The chief philosophical value of digital humanities is that it gives > the mind something distinct to lay hold of, which, if you don't, the > object of study at once tells you you need to think again. Now, every > stage of this research leaves a more or less presentable trace on > the memory, so that if written down materials are furnished here > more than anywhere else for the investigation of the question, > "What did I do to get this result?" It's worth asking, however, what sort of an appeal both of these versions have and how that appeal meshes with the interpretative disciplines. If in the kind of study you're doing there are right answers, then clearly having a check on what you say before you say it is very good. But if there are no such right answers? In the original version Maxwell soars up to his great question, "How does Knowledge come?" It is a great question, but in rephrasing his words, the word "Knowledge" made me distinctly uncomfortable. If actions that can be formulated (otherwise known as method) define "Knowledge", then what happens to what we somehow know but cannot formulate? What happens to the humanities? Is there peril in our focus on methodology? Comments?

This symposium studies how people contribute to ‘a permanent capture of life into data’ through daily routines of surfing, shopping, and lifelogging. It will bring together artists, academics, technologists and users, to instigate public debate around issues of privacy in relation to big data capture, raise awareness regarding the scale and applications of those phenomena, propose ways of responding to loss of privacy, and consider avenues for resistance to the risks of self-quantification.

Gerard as he began his paper at the 1950 gathering. Forgive me for quoting his words yet again, but they are timely: > It seems to me, in looking back over the history of this group, that > we started our discussions and sessions in the »as if« spirit. > Everyone was delighted to express any idea that came into his mind, > whether it seemed silly or certain or merely a stimulating guess that > would affect someone else. We explored possibilities for all sorts of > »ifs.« Then, rather sharply it seemed to me, we began to talk in an > »is« idiom.We were saying much the same things, but now saying them > as if they were so.... > > Since this group has been the focus and fountainhead of thinking > along these lines, we surely have a very real responsibility, both > internally and externally. Internally, since we bring expertness in > such varied fields, no one can be sure another’s statements are facts > or guesses unless the speaker is meticulous in labeling suggestions > as such. Externally, our responsibility is even greater, since our > statements and writings – which may extend beyond an immediate area > of competence – should not give a spurious certainty to a credulous > audience, be this audience the lay intelligentsia or that precious > company of young physical scientists now finding the happy hunting > ground in biology. (Claus Pias, ed. Cybernetics / Kybernetik: Die Macy-Konferenzen 1946-1953. Band II: Protokolle. Zürich: Diaphanes, 2003, p. 163. Gerard's objection came to mind while reading a description of the Waterman's Symposium, Data Bodies: You are My Data, circulated on Humanist this morning. It begins with the casual remark that, "Though social networks are at the heart of how we live, circulating knowledge and fostering innovation, they are also closely monitored...." Doubtless the metaphor, 'social network', passes by without notice for most readers, often including me. This happens with metaphors all the time, of course; they die, or rather, we die to them. But like Gerard I think we have some responsibility to notice and then to remark on computationally associated metaphors, that they are in fact metaphorical, analogical leaps. People are *not* nodes in a network related by edges. 'Social network' is indeed a productive, valuable metaphor, not primarily because it leads us down the garden path to an entertaining, even informative display but because it stirs the alert to enquire into how we and our friends and relations, or whomever we are studying, do *not* comprise such a network, and so to enquire into all of that which does not survive the translation. In a sentence such as I just quoted a door opens up for a moment, then closes. Did you see it? So I conclude with this paradox: that to be alert to the failures of our concepts is to be alert to their successes. Objections? Refinements?

Christensen and Christian D. Schunn remark that in designing something new, the greater the degree of resemblance with something old the easier the designer's job becomes. But they go on to say that, "The use of distant analogies may be positively related to originality in design." They note "anecdotal evidence of distant analogizing leading to breakthrough discoveries" but find little evidence of whether in fact practicing designers who go beyond their domain of expertise end up being more inventive. What is our experience in digital humanities' software engineering? Do successful prototypes put a damper on invention?

In "Visual analogy -- A strategy for design reasoning and learning" (in Eastman, McCracken and Newstetter, eds., Design Knowing and Learning, 2001), Gabriela Goldschmidt comments that in the 1960s, > the design research community in its entirety, more or less, > subscribed to the notion that design practices should be made to > follow exacting methods.... Members of the so-called "design methods > movement" worked hard to help develop a design science: it was seen > as an important step forward in the evolution of the design > disciplines and their standing among the professions.... > Consequently, so-called 'traditional' design practices, based on > 'soft' strategies including intuition and the use of informal > knowledge were looked down upon. In contrast, the idea of a 'hard' > analytic science of design sounded very appealing, as eloquently > expressed by members of the methods movement.... including Herbert Simon. But it turns out, she remarks, that "in most if not all design domains, rigorous design methods based on well-defined algorithms do not yield the expected improvement in design quality". In other words, such 'design science' has failed. This leaves designers with a dilemma: > On the one hand, we are uncomfortable with our traditional, > experiential, 'trial and error' teaching traditions; on the other > hand, we fall short of being able to effectively transmit a > comprehensive codex of design knowledge, including procedural > knowledge about how to design and how to reason about designing. It > is for this reason that design reasoning has become a research topic > of great importance, motivated by the hope that knowing more about > natural design reasoning processes would pave the way for modes of > enhancing and teaching it. Rule-based (algorithmic) reasoning "is no longer universally accepted as an absolute truth"; interest has shifted to the relationship between rule-based and similarity-based reasoning, reflecting better, some argue, how we actually do the job. This raises the question of how we do the job in digital humanities -- and how we might do it. Rule-based text-analysis is handy but severely limited. How about similarity-based, i.e. analogical reasoning -- the kind manifested in analog computing devices? I'm not suggesting return to analog machines such as Bush's Memex, rather a simulation of analog machinery as the platform on which digital humanities work can at least partially be done. We do this already, of course, in the GUI. But then we take analogue computing for granted. Some even argue that the digital substrate is irrelevant -- that we are in that sense "post-digital". Is it? Are we? Or is there enormous potential in paying attention to both digital and analog, in different contexts for different purposes?

Since then, a plethora of comparative and neuroimaging research has confirmed both the Social Brain Hypothesis and the predicted size of human social groups, and shown that Dunbar’s Number applies also to personal social networks. More importantly, we have in the process learned a great deal more about the nature of the social relationships that underpin the Social Brain Hypothesis. I will explore the cognitive and ecological reasons why social groups are limited in size, why they have the peculiar layered structure that they do, and how modern humans have broken through the constraints on social group size that these impose. The event is free, but places must be booked.

We encourage submissions on all topics relating to both theory and practice in the evolving field of the digital humanities. Proposals for papers (20 min.), digital demonstrations,, and panels (2-6 speakers for a 90-minute session) will be accepted until 10 December 2015 and must be submitted to https://www.conftool.net/csdh-schn-2016/. Paper abstracts should be 500 words, and should specify your thesis, methodology and conclusions. We also welcome proposals for digital demonstrations of innovative projects or tools. Demonstrations will be given table space and a backdrop so they can set up a poster and a computer for a 2-hour session. We encourage projects with software to show to apply for this venue. CSDH/SCHN welcomes proposals for joint panels with The Canadian Game Studies Association (CGSA), and we encourage presenters to note if they are open to a joint panel. Submit your panel proposal or individual paper proposal to either association. You and your panelists need to be members of either association, but not necessarily both. CSDH/SCHN and the Canadian Society for Renaissance Studies (CSRS/SCER) are organizing a panel on (Pre)Digital Models for Networks and Communities. Proposals should be submitted through the CSRS as outlined in their call for papers: http://csrs-scer.ca/documents/2016%20Calgary%20CFP.pdf . Partial travel funding for graduate student presenting in this session will be provided by Iter. Presenters need to be members of either association, but not necessarily both. Please see also the CFP for our joint session with ACCUTE on Distance Technologies, Distant Reading, and Literary Pedagogy at http://csdh-schn.org/2015/09/16/distance-technologies-distant-reading-and-literary-pedagogy/. There is a limited amount of funding available to support graduate student travel. Please note that all presenters must be members of CSDH/SCHN at the time of the conference. Scholars in the digital humanities are engaged in diverse digital and computer-assisted research, teaching, and creation. CSDH/SCHN welcomes proposals from all constituencies and disciplines, and encourages applications from women, Aboriginal and Métis people, people of color, LGBTQ, or other underrepresented groups. Selected papers from the conference will appear in special collections published in the CSDH/SCHN society journal, Digital Studies/Le champ numérique (http://www.digitalstudies.org). 2016 Program committee: Jon Bath (program chair), Michael Ullyot (local organizer), Jason Boyd, Susan Brown, Constance Crompton, Lai-Tze Fan, Dominic Forest, Dean Irvine, and Stéfan Sinclair.

This genetic edition enables users to examine the writing process of Krapp’s Last Tape, and the (self-)translation process of La dernière bande, by means of digital facsimiles and transcriptions of Beckett’s drafts and other textual versions. Other genetic editions that are available are: L’Innommable / The Unnamable; Stirrings Still / Soubresauts; and Comment dire / what is the word. The publication of the new module coincides with the presentation of a new interface for the edition, and a number of new features in the edition’s free zone. The Beckett Digital Manuscript Project is a collaboration between the Centre for Manuscript Genetics (University of Antwerp), the Beckett International Foundation (University of Reading) and the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center (University of Texas at Austin), with the kind permission of the Estate of Samuel Beckett and the support of the European Research Council. The purpose of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project is to reunite the manuscripts of Samuel Beckett's works in a digital way, and to facilitate genetic research: the project brings together digital facsimiles of documents that are now preserved in different holding libraries, and adds transcriptions of Beckett's manuscripts, tools for bilingual and genetic version comparison, a search engine, and an analysis of the textual genesis of his works. An accompanying monograph on the work’s genesis will shortly be available through University Press Antwerp and Bloomsbury Academic. We hope you’ll find this new digital scholarly edition useful. For more information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, on behalf of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project, Dirk Van Hulle Note: The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC grant agreement n° 313609. _______________________________________________ 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 A6EBF6D90; Thu, 12 Nov 2015 07:45:44 +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 D910C6D8A; Thu, 12 Nov 2015 07:45:43 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id DDFC66D87; Thu, 12 Nov 2015 07:45:40 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151112064540.DDFC66D87@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2015 07:45:40 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.470 intoxicants 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: <20151112064544.524.85694@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 470. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2015 09:16:16 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: intoxicants Perhaps it's not particularly surprising to think of computing as an intoxicant, e-mailing in particular. Early this morning, while taking a break from such activity, I came across Will Self's contribution to "Diary", on the cocaine trade, in the latest London Review of Books. He recollects, from experience during his youth, the effects of the finest variety but then notes the blurring of sensations that followed. This sentence leapt out at me: > That's the thing about intoxicants: because they alter the > consciousness that assays them, they blur the boundaries between > primary and secondary qualities, between essences and attributes. Is this not what follows from involvement with almost anything? But computing in particular concerns me. It's not so much that our minds blur but that we begin to see phenomena as computational. (Take a peek into cognitive science, for example.) Not that the phenomenon of invention looping back to refigure the inventor is new. It would seem fundamental to inventions of all sorts and has been repeatedly noticed. And so a question (which I've asked before, for which apologies): who has written about this looping phenomenon recently and well?

Intoxication. Very nice! Our technologies and the tools we render from these have for a long time inspired, informed, dominated, constrained, clamped, and cramped (typically in that order) our thinking about the brain and the cognitions we attributed to it. Clock work mechanisms, hydraulic systems, (mechanical) telephone exchanges, and, now and for the time being, computation and computers, are some examples. Who has written well on this? I don't know, but, like you, I'd be interested to know. It's difficult. You have to indulge in the different substances without becoming intoxicated by them. Blurring essences and attributes always feels easier and happier. Who in the digital humanities doesn't think languaging is essentially an information exchanging activity, for example?

We have a small but growing Digital Humanities presence and are in the process of developing a regional consortium with the Universities of Kent and Essex http://easternarc.ac.uk/digital-humanities/. We would therefore be delighted to hear from high quality candidates interested in pursuing postdoctoral DH work within one of our schools via this scheme. Please see below for full details on the application process, and do feel free to contact me (p.gooding@uea.ac.uk) with any questions you may have! Kind regards, Paul UEA Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships 2015/16 The Faculty of Arts and Humanities invites applications for Early Career Fellowships to be held at UEA, to start between 1 September 2016 and 1 May 2017. Early Career Fellowships aim to provide career development opportunities for those who are at a relatively early stage of their academic careers, but who have a proven record of research. The expectation is that Fellows should undertake a significant piece of publishable work during their tenure, and that the Fellowships should lead to a more permanent academic position. Each year the Faculty supports a limited number of applications for projects in: the School of Art, Media, and American Studies; the School of History; the School of Literature, Drama, and Creative Writing; the School of Politics, Philosophy, Language and Communication Studies. Successful applicants will join a vibrant community of postdoctoral research fellows. UEA is fully committed to supporting the scholarship and career development of these fellows, and each will be assigned an academic mentor and will be fully integrated into the life of their host School. For more information about the research in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at UEA see: https://www.uea.ac.uk/arts-humanities/home A candidate may submit only one application per year. Previously unsuccessful applicants may reapply. Please read the full instructions below for guidance on how to submit an application.

Keynote talks will be given by Professor Harriet Ritvo (MIT), Professor Sharon Ruston (University of Lancaster), and Professor Alice Roberts (University of Birmingham). The BSLS invites proposals for twenty-minute papers, or panels of three papers, on any subjects within the field of literature and science. In addition, we are hoping to put together sessions with looser, non-traditional formats, and would welcome proposals from any person or persons interested in making presentations of approximately ten minutes from notes rather than completed papers. Our hope is that the latter format will encourage longer Q&A sessions with more discussion. If you have a topic or research area which would suit such a discussion, we would also like to hear from you. Please send an abstract (c.200 words) and short biographical note to the conference organiser, Will Tattersdill (w.j.tattersdill@bham.ac.uk), by no later than 5pm GMT, Friday 4 December 2015. Please include the abstract and biographical note in the body of the email and not in an attachment. All proposers of a paper or panel will receive notification of the results by the end of January 2015. The conference fee will be waived for two graduate students in exchange for written reports on the conference, to be published in the BSLS Newsletter. If you are interested in being selected for one of these awards, please mention this when sending in your proposal. To qualify you will need to be registered for a postgraduate degree at the time of the conference. -- 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_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 7297A6E98; Sat, 14 Nov 2015 10:16:52 +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 0620E6E8E; Sat, 14 Nov 2015 10:16:51 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B5E3C6E8E; Sat, 14 Nov 2015 10:16:48 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20151114091648.B5E3C6E8E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2015 10:16:48 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.478 fruits of collaboration: physicists & literary scholars 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: <20151114091651.11314.66548@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 478.

Burroughs' The Electronic Revolution will be enlightening. And Dawkins' theory of memetics which again envisages information being spread like some virus. Then semantics scholar Alfred Korzybski, who had influence on Burroughs, gets to the bottom of writing as technology which makes humans 'time-binding machines'. His theory brims with analogies from engineering and mathematics.

C. R. Licklider bio for the American National Biography Colleagues, I am forwarding this for an editor of the ACLS American National Biography. This might be a good opportunity for a grad student (they are open to this). There is a token honorarium, but it makes most sense for someone who already has enough knowledge about Licklider to write this without a lot of additional research. I suspect that applies to a number of people on this listserv. I have no personal stake in this other than wanting to see good-quality history in reference works.

We’re looking to include significant scientists who were missed in previous editions and updates. To this end, we would like to commission an essay on J. C. R.

The entry would run about 1,000 words, for which we can pay you an honorarium of $150. There is some flexibility on deadlines. Ideally we would like to have the essay in hand six months from now (April 2016), but if having more time made a difference to your taking it on, we can certainly work out an alternative deadline.

Are you familiar with the basics of text mining, but interested in learning new strategies and approaches? As the number of digitized and born-digital texts increase, so too do the possibilities for large-scale analysis. Many scholars in the humanities and social sciences, however, have not been trained in the methodologies that would allow them to take advantage of these new strategies for text analysis. *Text Mining Across the Disciplines* is a one-day conference on text mining aimed both at those new to the field and those with more experience. The day’s events include both keynotes by scholars using text mining in their research and a series of workshops aimed at guiding participants through key strategies and approaches to text mining. The workshops are designed to be cumulative, and over the course of the day participants will have an opportunity to collect a small data set, clean that data, mine the data, and visualize their results. Workshops: -Finding Your Corpus -Getting your data ready to mine -Text Mining Strategies and Methodologies A more detailed schedule to follow.

I am not a copyright expert, but my impression is that while Humanist postings are 'public domain' in the UK legal sense (sc, they are visible to the public), they are not 'public domain' in the US legal sense (sc, unowned/uncopyrighted intellectual property). My understanding is that the copyright in a Humanist posting, as in any text, is owned by its author from the moment of its creation, and unless an explicit copyright assignment is made (which of course does not happen here), it remains that author's copyright. Thus I think you, Willard, have no authority to grant permission. I would be surprised if such permission were really necessary, however. Humanist postings are written to be distributed, and people know that they are archived. Many Humanist contributors are academics or para-academics who would presumably be happy to be cited. As long as they _are_ cited, of course (and the precise typeset form of that citation is a nice headache for another section of the publisher's staff). So I don't think there would be a moral problem here. There might be a theoretical legal problem (Humanist postings are short enough that a citation would involve quoting more than 10% of the posting (is that the threshold?; I can't remember)), but since the chance of someone suing the publisher for a violation is surely remote, they can presumably rationally ignore this. One general solution (though perhaps this is entering hammer-cracking-nut territory) may be to assert for the future that Humanist postings are deemed to be made with the CC-BY or CC-BY-SA licence [1], put a note to this effect in the list signature, and alert folk to this when they sign up. That would assert that the text of the postings is copyrighted by the authors, but that people are free to reuse it as long as the source is quoted. In this particular case, the publisher permissions checker could tick the relevant box straightforwardly and unambiguously. [1] The latter is the variant used by, for example, Wikipedia ---- While we're on the subject, I'll quote a (possibly inadvertently) entertaining passage from a lawyer contributor to another list, talking about copyright waivers and their near-impossibility under English law. I won't link to the source, nor cite its author, because this list deliberately does not maintain an archive. I genuinely do not know where or how this fits into my argument above. > How do you "waive" a property right? English law has never liked the > idea > of unowned property.

Of all the things that a corpse can be, a curiously unownable thing was not one that had occurred to me.

In-Reply-To: <20151117080257.284DD6EAC@digitalhumanities.org> Well, I am only a minor player in this forum, but I would suggest that one not 'grant' any entity like Pearson a 'right' because one cannot predict how their lawyers might later use it to assert ownership of the whole archive! Even a clear statement that it is in the public domain might tempt them to ingest it into a database, add metadata and claim a 'database right' over the whole archive!

In-Reply-To: <20151117080257.284DD6EAC@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, the many things I do NOT believe in religiously, even if supporting them, include open access. But in this case, requiring the right to quote at a length which has always been covered by the right to cite somebody else's work, I discover a clear case of principiis obsta. If you need a granted right to quote at THAT length we are right on our way to negotiating over each individual footnote.

In-Reply-To: <20151117080257.284DD6EAC@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard et al., Pearson seeks out innovative work that generous people share openly and tries to pull it into textbooks and online products that they then sell for profit. The request raises a deeper question about open accession in my view. But this is the first time I have ever posted to the list, where I have been lurking for years. So just my two cents.

This seems once again like an overzealous legal staff trying to cross its T's and dot its I's. All of this, merely to cite a scholar's position published on the list?! Given the interests of the list, it would seem to me to respond with something like the following: 1) Thanking them for the reference to Dr. Weinshank's statement on the list, and for clearly giving full author credit and proper citation of source. 2) Remind them that Fair Use is a long-standing practice in academia covered by many legal precedents, and that Fair Use fosters the growth of scholarship for publisher and author alike. Honestly, even calling up Fair Use seems a bit farfetched for this particular case, as I understand it (there is no copyright on statements made on a listserve, yes?). I'm not sure why a simple footnote wouldn't take care of the whole situation! For those interested, Fair Use has become something that US academics are gradually becoming more comfortable asserting in the culture of permissions. For example, Fair Use of images in copyright or of unknown copyright may be allowable under specific situations. See the Code of Best Practices issued this past February by the College Art Association for more information: http://www.collegeart.org/fair-use/ Best, Paul Paul B. Jaskot Andrew W.

In-Reply-To: <20151117080257.284DD6EAC@digitalhumanities.org> They're just engaging in arse covering, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's probably necessary because you don't have an explicit copyright statement here: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist None of the links at the top of the page are working, by the way. You might want to think about what kind of copyright policy you want to have, post it to the listserve page, and then have future subscribers agree to it when they subscribe. A desirable copyright policy might be an interesting and useful topic of discussion here, actually. I would recommend -- whether necessary or not -- asking Pearson to attempt to contact the author of the specific post to request permission. That seems at least polite. Or you could take this opportunity to stand up against the Pearson Death Star, but as fun as that would be, it's probably not necessary. I might just for the fun of it. See how many hoops they will jump through before giving up.

Probably not, but space is more closely connected to knowledge production than we often acknowledge. For example, the traditional classroom has certain assumptions about learning built into the architecture and presentation software such as PowerPoint provides a specific mechanism for making spatially enacted arguments (scholarly and others). A central concern in my work is ideas/concepts and their manifestations as a negotiation between intellectual arguments, institutional agendas, technologies, and events. There is no one-to-one mapping between these levels, but it can be helpful to employ notions such as /conceptual cyberinfrastructure /and /intellectual middleware /to shed light on the conditioning of knowledge production we are embedded in and to help us imagine spaces, infrastructure and software. In this talk, I focus on the digital humanities as an ideational underpinning. I look at four mini case studies to discuss the relation between the digital humanities and its spaces-infrastructures-people: HUMlab at Umeå University, a specific academic event carried out at HUMlab in December 2014, recent work on presentation software (with Erica Robles-Anderson), and some new research based on spaces for media studies and the digital humanities in New York City. *Bio*: Patrik Svensson is a Professor of Humanities and Information Technology at HUMlab, Umeå University, and the former Director of HUMlab (2000-2014). He is currently a distinguished visiting fellow at the Graduate Center, City University New York (fall semester of 2015). His current work can be loosely organized under two themes: Digital Humanities and Conditions for Knowledge Production. The first theme includes research and practice in relation to the intersection of the humanities and information technology with a particular focus on the history, role and place of the digital humanities. The second theme addresses research infrastructure, spaces for learning and knowledge production, intellectual middleware, presentation software and academic events. His work seeks to be critical and interventionist. Recent publications include /Between Humanities and the Digital/ (co-edited with David Theo Goldberg, MIT Press, 2015) and "Close Reading PowerPoint" (online publication). He is currently working on a project on space and knowledge production. http://www.sussex.ac.uk/shl/ --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2015 15:50:00 +0100 From: Cornelius Puschmann Subject: CfP AoIR 2016 Berlin: Internet Rules! In-Reply-To: <5BB698D11BA93244B70C048B1611577C15845BBC@EX-SHA-MBX2.ad.susx.ac.uk> Dear Professor McCarty, find below the call for proposals for the Association of Internet Researchers' annual conference, to be held in Berlin in 2016. We would be much obliged if your could disseminate the call through the HUMANIST list. Best wishes, Cornelius Puschmann ***Apologies for cross-postings*** 1st Call for Proposals ================================ AoIR 2016: INTERNET RULES! Workshops: 5 October 2016 Main Conference: 6-8 October 2016 Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany AoIR 2016 is the 17th annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers, a transdisciplinary gathering of scholars interested in the place of networked technologies in social processes. AoIR 2016 will emphasize the relevance of the Internet in today’s culture and politics. The conference theme addresses the significance of the codes and rules that frame the Internet, as well as their playful circumvention, from technical protocols and popular platforms to the emerging, established, and contested conventions of online communities. Who are the actors both in practices of rule-making and rule-breaking, what are their motivations and resources, and how can their power relations and communicative figurations be described? How does the Internet influence the proliferation of the values that its platforms, services and infrastructures embody, and what spaces of creative resistance persist? How do various forms of technical, social, and cultural hacking subvert these orders? The committee calls for proposals for papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, and other events that engage with the conference theme or the field more generally. Topics could include (but are not limited to): - coordination and rule-making online - media, culture and identity - (h)activism and social justice - critical approaches to algorithms, platform studies - codes and practices of internet culture - connected devices and the internet of things - big data and predictive analytics - techno-social interfaces - digital labor, crowdsourcing and co-creation - internet governance and regulation - (global) social media - communication, participation and polarization online - philosophy of information and knowledge We particularly invite submissions that engage with or challenge the conference theme in new and exciting ways, are innovative, or present a novel approach to the topic. We encourage “experimental sessions” that extend research in unusual directions (via method, topic or presentation structure). We also welcome submissions on topics that address social, cultural, political, legal, aesthetic, economic, and/or philosophical aspects of the internet beyond the conference theme. The committee extends a special invitation to students, researchers, and practitioners who have previously not participated in an Internet Research event to submit proposals. *PROPOSALS* We seek proposals for several different kinds of contributions to encompass the breadth of relevant research. We welcome proposals for traditional academic conference PAPERS, organized PANELS, ROUNDTABLES, FISHBOWLS, EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS, and PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS. We invite proposals that will focus on discussion and interaction among conference delegates. Finally, doctoral students are invited to participate in the DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM preceding the main conference. *IMPORTANT DATES* 15 January 2016 Submission site opens for AoIR 2016 in Berlin 1 March 2016 Submissions due for PAPERS, PANELS, ROUNDTABLES and FISHBOWLS, EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS, and PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS 15 March 2016 Nominations for Nancy Baym Book award and Best Dissertation Award due 5 May 2016 Notification of acceptances for presenters 7 June 2016 Applications due for conference travel SCHOLARSHIPS and for DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM 1 August 2016 Early Bird Registration Deadline for all presenters For further information and updates, please visit the conference website at aoir.org/aoir2016 http://aoir.org/aoir2016 . *SUBMISSION TYPES* Traditional papers: Paper submissions should articulate the issue or research question to be discussed, the methodological or critical framework used, and indicate the findings or conclusions to be presented and/or the relevance to wider conference themes. Papers can present any kind of research or analysis, but should be written so that the importance of the work can be understood by reviewers working in different disciplines or using different approaches. Cross- or trans-disciplinary work is especially encouraged. Paper submissions should be approximately 1200 words long, including references. Please note that paper submissions need not adhere to a pre-formatted template, but should give an indication as to the consistency, rigor and relevance of the work. Presentations at the IR conference are generally intended to be dynamic, and provide a broad overview of the scholarship being engaged, with the hope of generating useful conversation. Preconstituted panels: Panels should present a coherent group of papers on a single theme. Panel proposals should include 1200-word abstracts as above for each of the constituent papers, as well as a brief statement articulating the papers’ relationship to each other. It is recommended that panels include four papers, although submissions of three to five papers will also be considered. The organizer is responsible for compiling the proposal into a single document for submission. Preconference workshops: Workshops may be either half or full-day events that occur on the first day of the conference and focus on a particular topic. They may be a workshop of some kind (e.g., a publishing workshop), a methodological “bootcamp” (e.g., on ethnography or statistical analysis), an exploration of a theoretical tradition or topical area (e.g., symbolic interaction, political economy, or GIS) or anything else that may be of interest to conference delegates. Proposals for workshops should explain for a general scholarly audience the goals of the workshop, the way it will operate, and an indication of potential audience or attendees who may be interested in attending (such as “early career scholars” or “researchers using statistical analysis”). Proposals for workshops should be approximately 600-800 words in length, and should name the workshop facilitators. Roundtable Sessions: Roundtables encourage discussion and interaction among delegates. They may involve brief introductory presentations by organizers. Proposals should include details on the theme or topic of discussion and its relevance, along with names of the organizers/initial participants. Roundtables can include no more than 5 initial participants. Roundtable submissions should be between 250-300 words long (to be included as the “abstract” in the submissions process–no separate document need be uploaded). Open Fishbowls: Fishbowl sessions should cover broad topics of interest to a wide segment of the AoIR community, and create a space for dialogue across different types of research. Submitted proposals should include a brief statement as to the core idea or theme for the fishbowl, emphasizing its relation to conference themes or relevance to the IR community. Fishbowls can include no more than 5 initial participants (named fish). Experimental Sessions: Experimental sessions are those that, while of interest to members or engaging with conference themes, meaningfully “push the envelope” beyond more traditional forms of conference engagement and participation and as such do not fit into any of the other proposal formats. Examples may include Ignite or pecha-kucha presentations, demonstrations, performances, installations, short-form workshops, unsessions, maker or code-based projects, or interactive experiences. Proposals for experimental sessions should describe for a general scholarly audience the goal or idea of the session and how it will operate, and discuss why the proposed format will be of interest to AoIR delegates. Organizers of experimental sessions will be responsible for supplying any necessary equipment beyond that usually provided for conference presentations, and should be prepared to coordinate closely with the conference committee as necessary to enable a successful presentation of the alternative format. To encourage this kind of submission, we are again offering the “Halavais Prize for Weirdness” this year for the most interesting and successful submission in a non-traditional format. Doctoral Colloquium: The Association of Internet Researchers believes that its emerging researchers are the best in its disparate constituent fields. In keeping with its commitment to students’ scholarship, we continue the tradition of bringing emerging and established scholars together through the AoIR 2016 Doctoral Colloquium. The colloquium offers PhD students working in internet research or a related field a special, day-long forum, to be convened on 5 October 2016. For many years, this pre-conference event has provided students with the opportunity to a concentrated amount of time with senior scholars to share research projects, address methodological and theoretical challenges, and exchange informal advice on juggling the multiple pressures associated with job searching, publishing, and finishing the dissertation Interested students should prepare a) a two-page summary of your research. This should provide a context for the research, describe the methods being used, the progress to date, and primary concerns and issues; and b) A brief statement indicating why you want to participate in this doctoral colloquium and what you hope to get out of it. These are due on or before 15 June 2016. *CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIPS* In order to increase the diversity of participation in the AoIR conferences, the Association of Internet Researchers makes available conference fee waivers and partial travel stipends ($500) per year. The number of fee waivers and travel stipends will depend first of all upon the ability of the conference budget to sustain such waivers (a judgment to be made by the AoIR Executive Committee upon the advice of the AoIR Treasurer and the local organizing committee) as well as upon the quality of the applications for fee waivers. Conference scholarships are made available only to participants who have had papers accepted via the peer review process, and applications are due on 1 June 2016, after acceptances have been announced. More information will be made available regarding the scholarship application process at the conference website: aoir.org/aoir2016. *CONTACT INFORMATION* Please address any questions to the conference chair, Cornelius Puschmann, Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, aoir2016 [at] aoir [dot] org. ================================ -- Dr. Cornelius Puschmann Postdoctoral Researcher (DFG) Berlin School of Library and Information Science (BSLIS) Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Dorotheenstraße 26 10117 Berlin, Germany www.ibi.hu-berlin.de Research Associate Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) Oberwallstraße 9 10117 Berlin, Germany www.hiig.de Faculty Associate Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University 23 Everett Street, Second Floor Cambridge, MA 02138, USA cyber.law.harvard.edu p: +49 7541 6009-1321 e: cornelius.puschmann@hiig.de e: cpuschmann@cyber.law.harvard.edu w: cbpuschmann.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, 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 6BC866F2F; Wed, 18 Nov 2015 07:39:00 +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 B3EAF6F02; Wed, 18 Nov 2015 07:38:59 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6CD0B6EFC; Wed, 18 Nov 2015 07:38:56 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151118063856.6CD0B6EFC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 07:38:56 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.486 pubs: D-Lib for Nov/Dec; the Ancient World 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: <20151118063900.10836.77399@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 486.

The topic is to be construed as widely as possible, to include not only the history, archaeology, language, literature and thought of the ancient and late antique Mediterranean world, but also of antiquity more widely, potentially including, for example, South and East Asian, Sub-Saharan African or Pre-Columbian American history. Digital approaches may also vary widely, to include methodologies from the digital humanities and information studies, quantitative methods from the hard sciences, or other innovative and transdisciplinary themes. Papers will be fully peer reviewed and selected for inclusion based not only on their research quality and significance, but especially on their ability to engage profoundly both with classics/history academic readers, and scholars from digital or informatic disciplines. We are keen to see papers that clearly lay out their disciplinary and interdisciplinary methodological approaches, and present and interpret the full range of scholarly and practical outcomes of their research. We encourage the use of and direct reference to open online datasets in your papers. BICS is not currently an open access publication, but self-archiving of pre-press papers is permitted, and the editors believe in the transparency and accountability that comes with basing scientific work on open data. To submit an article to this themed issue, please send your full paper of 4,000–8,000 words in Microsoft Word doc, docx or rtf format, to >, along with a 150 word abstract, by January 31, 2016. You do not need to follow BICS style for the initial submission, but please note that the final version of accepted articles will need to be formatted to adhere to our style guide (http://www.icls.sas.ac.uk/sites/default/files/files/STYLE-V15.pdf). If you have any questions about this issue, please feel free to contact any of the editors informally. We look forward to reading your contributions!

Millions of users sharing their thoughts in one giant performance of what Clay Shirky once called “cognitive surplus”. Contemporary media platforms aren’t simply a stage for this cognitive performance. They are more like directors, staging scenes, tweaking scripts, working to get the best or fully “optimized” performance. As Katherine Hayles has pointed out, media theory has long taken for granted that we think “through, with and alongside media”. Pen and paper, the abacus, and modern calculators are obvious cases in point, but the list quickly expands and with it longstanding conceptions of the Cartesian mind dissolve away. Within the cognitive sciences, cognition is now routinely described as embodied, extended, and distributed. They too recognize that cognition takes place beyond the brain, in between people, between people and things, and combinations thereof. The varieties of specifically human thought, from decision-making to reasoning and interpretation, are now considered one part of a broader cognitive spectrum shared with other animals, systems, and intelligent devices. Today, the technology we mostly think through, with and alongside are computers. We routinely rely on intelligent devices for any number of operations, but this is no straightforward “augmentation”. Our cognitive capacities are equally instrumentalized, plugged into larger cognitive operations from which we have little autonomy. Our cognitive weaknesses are exploited and manipulated by techniques drawn from behavioural economics and psychology. If Vannevar Bush once pondered how we would think in the future, he received a partial response in Steve Krug’s best selling book on web usability: Don’t Make Me Think! Streams of Consciousness aims to explore cognition, broadly conceived, in an age of intelligent devices. We aim to critically interrogate our contemporary infatuation with specific cognitive qualities – such as “smartness” and “intelligence” – while seeking to genuinely understand the specific forms of cognition that are privileged in our current technological milieu. We are especially interested in devices that mediate access to otherwise imperceptible forms of data (too big, too fast), so it can be acted upon in routine or novel ways. Topics of the conference include but are not limited to: - data and cognition - decision-making technologies - algorithms, AI and machine learning - visualization, perception - sense and sensation - business intelligence and data exploration - signal intelligence and drones - smart and dumb things - choice and decision architecture - behavioural economics and design - technologies of nudging - interfaces - bodies, data, and (wearable) devices - optimization - web and data analytics (including A/B and multivariate testing) Confirmed Speakers: LOUISE AMOORE, JAMES ASH, DAVID BERRY, WILLIAM DAVIES, MICHAEL DIETER, STEVE FULLER, JENNIFER GABRYS, ANTOINETTE ROUVROY, NATASHA SCHÜLL, NICK SRNICEK, NIGEL THRIFT, MICHAEL WHEELER. Please submit individual abstracts of no longer than 300 words. Panel proposals are also welcome and should also be 300 words. Panel proposals should also include indvidual abstracts. The deadline for submissions is Friday the 18th of December and submissions should be made tocimconf@warwick.ac.uk. Accepted submissions will be notified by 20th of January 2016.

Transkribus is developed in the EU funded project tranScriptorium, a research infrastructure for transcribing and automated text recognition of historical documents. Automated recognition of handwritten documents (HTR) is no longer wishful thinking but a real option. Whether it concerns medieval codices or modern archival documents, HTR is not only able to create an automated transcription, it also offers significantly improved search capabilities through new search methods (“keyword spotting”). Until recently, intensive efforts by specialized researchers have been the only way to make the content of the resolutions accessible. In the new project, alternative ways to make the content of the resolutions accessible for researchers and other users are explored. Huygens-ING carries out a number of pilot projects to clarify to which extent advanced ICT techniques and tools can reduce the dependency on manual labor. Working with HTR is one of these pilots. The workshop shows preliminary results of a training set of the 17th century resolutions of the Dutch Staten-Generaal (Estates General), of automated structuring of printed 18th century resolutions. Moreover, it also offers a hands-on Transkribus session for the participants. The transcripts of the *Resolutions of the States-General *consist of 200.000 pages of handwritten text that not only reflect the invention and early development of the new Dutch State, but also are a witness of the daily political activities of the “Hoogmogende Heren”. *Programme* Automated Handwritten Text Recognition – Transkribus and the project ‘Resolutions of the Dutch States-General’.

Experimental artistic collective merging woodcut, installation art, performance, film, and comics. Description It seems that narrative today is undergoing a radical change in its ‘source code.’ New technologies are changing the way texts are produced, distributed, viewed and read. The conference Poetics of the Algorithm intends to chart the implications of this shift. What does it mean that through digital technologies we can now experience on the surface of a single (touch) screen previously distinct media, artefacts and events such as literature in codex form, comic books, exhibitions, films, photographs, visual art and so on? Has medium-specificity become an obsolete notion given that binary code and algorithms seem to bypass material constraints? The phenomenon of adapting/remediating ‘low tech’ works into digital format is instructive in this regard. Already an unconventional graphic narrative in codex form, Richard McGuire’s Here for example was adapted into a so-called “enhanced edition” for the iPad. Does the notion of ‘enhancement’ entail that the hardback version is in some way inferior? Speaking of the app-version of Here, what does it mean that the simulation of travel in ‘deep time’ no longer proceeds from turning the page but from touching the screen, zooming, and pinching? Does the meaning change after a graphic novel in book format has been translated into an application for digital devices? How is the creation of the work impacted, as a work by a single author is transformed into a collaborative project with software designers and a team of coders? Next to mastery of his or her craft, must the artist also be ‘code-literate’ today to matter? Furthermore, this shift also pertains to the ‘system requirements’ of the reader-participant of digital media. Indeed, is touch—with the gestural protocols of swiping, pinching, and zooming—a radically new paradigm revising what is narratable, visible, and performable, making the world an unfamiliar place again after having lived in a world that could be ‘read like a book’? What new habits of thought and bodily engagement are brought into being? These questions immediately bring us to the politics of post-media poetics, an issue the conference will also raise. How to think constructively about the relation between the backbreaking, (often neo-colonial) exploitative labour that makes western new media possible and our shiny new hardware so hostile to dirt and dust? Can modes of ‘slow,’ ‘grimy,’ ‘artisanal’ cultural production ('old school' book art, lettering, the smears of paint, the woodcut, etc.) be read as critiques of our digitized, supposedly ‘accelerationist’ epoch, and/or are they symptoms of post-media nostalgia? Lastly, if the material configuration of literature, comics, art, and other media are shifting, how should this be reflected in our methodology? Should research, critique and scholarship aspire to become a multi-media experience? What are adequate forms for the digital humanities to respond to these challenges? These are but some of the questions the conference will raise.

La conférence accueillera des communications ainsi que des tables-rondes, ateliers et panels. Nous invitons à participer des chercheurs aussi bien que des artistes, auteurs, programmeurs, développeurs, praticiens, designers, etc. Description Le « code-source » du récit et de nos manières de raconter est depuis quelques années l’objet d’un changement radical. Les nouvelles technologies transforment la manière dont les textes sont produits, distribués, lus et vus. Le colloque Poétiques de l’algorithme propose de documenter les conséquences d’un tel changement. Des artefacts et des évènements tels que de la littérature au format codex, des albums de bandes dessinées, des expositions, des films, des photographies, voire l’art plastique se retrouvent désormais à portée d’un même écran (tactile). Comment les technologiques numériques ont-elles transformé des médias auparavant perçus comme distincts ? La notion de spécificité médiatique serait-elle devenue obsolète depuis que le code binaire et les algorithmes permettent de contourner ces contraintes matérielles ? Le phénomène d’adaptation ou de remédiation d’œuvres low tech vers le format numérique en dit déjà long à ce sujet. Une bande dessinée déjà peu conventionnelle sous format papier, Here de Richard McGuire, fut par exemple adapté dans une version dite « améliorée » pour tablette. Est-ce que l’idée d’« amélioration » implique que la version papier est inférieure d’une manière ou d’une autre ? Et en regardant la version numérique de Here, quels changements cette conversion implique-t-elle pour la simulation d’un voyage dans les abysses du « temps profond », qui ne s’opère plus en tournant la page mais en touchant, zoomant et balayant l’écran des doigts ? La transpositiondu format livresque en application numérique affecte-elle la signification du roman graphique ? Comment la création de l’œuvre elle-est touchée par ce changement, puisque le travail d’un seul auteur devient celui d’un projet collaboratif impliquant des concepteurs de logiciel, des codeurs et des programmeurs ? Outre la maîtrise de son métier, l’artiste doit-il aujourd’hui être capable de lire et de traiter du code informatique ? De plus, ce changement participe aussi de la modification de l’attitude du consommateur de médias numériques, par rapport à un lecteur classique plus passif. En effet, est-ce que le toucher et les protocoles gestuels tels que le zoom, le pinch et le balayage entraînent un paradigme radicalement nouveau, transformant le visible et le dicible, refaisant du monde un lieu étrange et méconnaissable ? Quelles sont les nouvelles habitudes physiques et cognitives qui émergent dans un tel contexte ? Ces questions nous mènent directement à la politique d’une poétique post-média, un des axes principaux de cette conférence. Comment penser de façon constructive la relation entre l'exploitation économique (souvent néocoloniale) qui rend possible l'existence de ces nouveaux médias et leurs beaux matériaux brillants qui semblent justement être réfractaires au déchet et à la crasse ? Les modes de production lents, sales et artisanaux (typographie, livres d'artiste, taches de peinture, gravure, etc.) peuvent-ils être lus comme des critiques d’une ère numérique supposée accélérationniste, ou bien s’agit-il de symptômes d’une nostalgie post-média ? Enfin, si la configuration matérielle de la littérature, de la bande dessinée, de l’art et d’autres médias est en train de changer, comment ce changement devrait-il se répercuter dans notre approche méthodologique ? Est-ce que la recherche et la critique devraient aspirer à une existence multi-média ? Comment les humanités numériques peuvent-elles répondre à ces défis ? Il ne s’agit là que d’une poignée de questions que le colloque espère soulever. D’autres pistes à explorer incluent, mais ne sont pas limitées à : - Intermedialité, transmedialité, remédiation, archéologie des médias - La notion d’auteur vs. la création numérique comme production collaborative, ou la délégation de l’auteur à une équipe de production (« outsourcing ») - Jeu vidéo, bande dessinée et narration - Bande dessinée numérique, expérimentations numériques avec le langage de la bande dessinées, webcomics - Littérature interactive - L’(anti)-narration des mèmes - L’être-au-monde vs. l’être-avec-Siri/Cortana - Écrans plats ou textures rugueuses : dessiner sur tablette et dessiner sur papier avec plume, encre, et peinture - Médias ‘obsolètes’ à l’ère d’un hyper-capitalisme algorithmique - L’art de coder et faire de l’art avec du code - Logiques (non)-séquentielles : narration et structure en bases de données - Internet et archives numériques - Phénoménologie du numérique - Gestuelles du récit numérique : point-and-click, scrolling, touch - Poétiques, conventions et genres de la narration numérique - Frontière entre jeu vidéo, app-novel et narration interactive - Médias expérimentaux ‘non-identifiés’ - Capitalisme et nouveaux médias ; économie politique - L’obsolescence médiatique, déchet, débris électroniques, codes perdus - Saleté et technologie : pannes, bugs, déformations, bruit, piratage - Les avant-gardes numériques - Art, autonomie et l’app-store - Le chercheur-codeur, nouvelles pratiques de recherche, big data et humanités numériques - … Modalités de soumission des communications Les propositions de communication (500 mots maximum) devront nous être adressées, avant le 20 décembre 2015, à l’adresse suivante acme.bdresearch@gmail.com Vous pouvez trouver plus d'informations sur le site web de la conférence website et n'hésitez pas à prendre contact avec nous pour toute information supplémentaire.

Master of Arts in Digital Humanities at McGill University (Montreal, Canada) We are delighted to announce that McGill University is offering a new MA in Digital Humanities, beginning fall 2016. The program is grounded in the computational study of art, culture, history, society, and technology. It brings together different fields of inquiry under a larger methodological domain, one that centres on the application of computational analysis toward the understanding of human culture. Whether it is the study of art, architecture, film, television, history, language, literature, media, music, or politics, what characterizes the MA in Digital Humanities is a focus on learning various methods for the computational study of these phenomena as well as a critical look at the effects of computing on scholarship. The program emphasizes course work in the areas of cultural theory, cultural analytics, and data visualization and culminates in a thesis and/or digital project. Graduates will have engaged in theoretical debates about different forms of cultural expression (film, literature, music, etc.) as well as practical and hands-on debates about applying and developing computational tools to better understand these phenomena. Graduates will be at home in and critically engaged with the increasingly digital nature of economic, social, and cultural life. Prior knowledge of programming languages is essential and should be well-described in the application.

In-Reply-To: <20151123074410.40ED96FA3@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Avraham, What you want to do (complex textual analysis on plain text, correct me if I'm wrong) is hardly manageable without some textual encoding or text description for contextual and logical meaning. At the moment TEI-XML (http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml) is a choice of many researchers, because of its long history of development, focus on text, detailed guidelines, existing tools (editors, databases), etc. I'm not sure that you will find any kind of software able to provide straightforward analysis of, for instance, style or rhyming schemes in plain text. Some level of coding must be applied in the process. For the basic analysis (e.g. frequency, etc) Voyant Tools could be the first stop, but not the only one.

In-Reply-To: <20151123074410.40ED96FA3@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Avraham and all: At the Poetess Archive, we have found that meter and other features of poetry need to be hand encoded. Herbert Tucker's "For Better or Verse" (http://prosody.lib.virginia.edu/) also hand-encodes meter. When I find poetry encoded at Tucker's site, I often disagree with the metrical analysis: that people don't agree about meter is one reason that automating its encoding would be very difficult. Working in conjunction with the PoetessArchive.org, Manish Chaturvedi created a poetry visualization tool in python which I am making available in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lgi1nab9qki1x8e/PoetryViz.zip?dl=0 Inside this dropbox folder you will find the tool itself as well as his thesis about it. Also in this zip file on dropbox you will find two other folders: codedOde and poems. I developed a system for encoding the tropes, meter, sound systems, and significant syntax variations found in poetry, using the TEI as a base code (http://www.tei-c.org): that system is visible in the codedOde folder, and there you will also find two TEI schemas, one for meter which is a standard TEI schema, and one for the other three systems which are customized with the namespace "pa." I hope that's helpful!

I think the simple answer would be: not at all. An email on Humanist is still just an email. The various CC licences [1] are intended to clarify things in the case where a copyright question is asked, but I don't think they need intrude on other questions. In the case which Willard brought up here, if the Pearson checker had discovered that Humanist contributions were available with a CC-BY licence, then they could have promptly deduced that quoting the posting, whole or in part, would be permitted, and moved on. If they'd found a CC-BY-NC (the 'NC' means 'no commercial use'), I don't know what they could really conclude, because they're not interested, in this case, in repurposing the text, but only in quoting it. This setup works better for Wikipedia (for example) than it would work for Humanist, I think. Wikipedia articles are a more-or-less extensive bit of text, which one can imagine wishing to repurpose, with permission. A Humanist posting doesn't match that straightforwardly. Rather than getting into a licence hole, it might be better to add to the one-line remarks in the list footer a text 'To quote from Humanist, see http://...' At that URL, Humanist could add text such as: All of the contributions to Humanist are copyright the authors. You are encouraged to cite these contributions, entire or in part, via a citation such as 'Surname, Forename (month-year). Humanist list, online, nn.nnn, "Subject line..."; URL: http://xxx.example.org' That prompts the question: what should the xxx.example.org be? The current archive at http://dhhumanist.org/Archives/Current/Humanist.vol29.txt is just a dump of the email messages.

This is driven by the potential for new forms of production, presentation and access that the digital promises. And it involves a reassessment of the conventions that have determined editorial practice in the age of print. This conference gathers together leading figures in the field to exchange ideas about the state of digital editing, its future potential, challenges and limits. How should we place ourselves relative to fundamental issues of authority/openness, durability/fluidity? Can we establish a set of ideal types for digital editorial method, or would its optimal strengths rather lie in more hybrid forms, including a productive mode of cohabitation with the print formats that it appears to want to supersede? --- Visit http://www.magicandmedicine.hps.cam.ac.uk/ for the latest updates to the Casebooks Project: A Digital Edition of Simon Forman's and Richard Napier's Medical Records --- Dr Lauren Kassell Department of History & Philosophy of Science University of Cambridge Free School Lane Cambridge CB2 3RH www.hps.cam.ac.uk +44 1223 767173 --- Pembroke College Cambridge CB2 1RF www.pem.cam.ac.uk +44 1223 330897 _______________________________________________ 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 B5C5D730A; Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:17:53 +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 F2A046C51; Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:17:52 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 056776C51; Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:17:49 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151124091750.056776C51@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 10:17:49 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.501 pubs: NLP, corpus linguistics, lexicography 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: <20151124091753.1776.47432@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 501.

The project involves myself, along with Mark Algee-Hewitt, Maria Kraxenberger, J.D. Porter, Jonathan Sensenbaugh, and Justin Tackett. The metrical parser was written by me and linguists Josh Falk and Prof. Arto Anttila. [I mention these names so as to give credit to all the people who have worked very hard and creatively on the software and project.] We presented the project at DH2014 in Lausanne, and are currently working on drafting it up as an article for submission to a journal. But, I also maintain a Github repository of major milestones of the code as the project progresses, available here: https://github.com/quadrismegistus/litlab-poetry It's written in Python, and there are some (minimal) instructions on how to use it. But do feel free to contact me if you decide to use it and have any questions. All this said, I do want to echo Laura Mandell's caution that metrical scansion is a very tricky affair, with people (including those of us on the project!) often disagreeing about the "right" parse. We've circumvented this problem by (a) trying to characterize the central metrical tendencies of the poem as a whole rather than a line-by-line analysis, and (b) relying on the standard issue DH argument that what computation provides is less correctness than consistency, making possible a comparison across poems, genres, or periods by virtue of the method remaining computationally constant. Hope this is useful! peace, Ryan Heuser Ph.D. Candidate in English, Stanford http://ryanheuser.org | @quadrismegistus --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 15:32:14 -0500 From: margento Subject: 29.496 tools to analyze poetry (Humanist Discussion Group) In-Reply-To: <20151124090222.AD4AF6FA6@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Abraham and all, Me and my team have worked in digital poetry analysis for a couple of years now, have published a paper on multilable subject-based classification of poetry and more recently have submitted (together with my team) a paper on meter and rhyme to a DH journal and one on meter only to an artificial intelligence conference (FLAIRS, where we presented the poetry subject classification paper last year, here is the link http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:7COEISzFQPUJ:www.aaai.org/ocs/index.php/FLAIRS/FLAIRS15/paper/download/10372/10322+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca ). Here is also the abstract of the forthcoming meter and rhyme paper: Poetry Classification by Meter and Rhyme as Part of the Graph Poem Project MARGENTO (Chris Tanasescu)margento.official@gmail.com Bryan Paget bdjpaget@gmail.com Diana Inkpen diana.inkpen@uottawa.ca University of Ottawa August 25, 2015 Abstract: This paper presents a brief introduction to the the Graph Poem project, which promises a novel approach for analyzing large corpora of poetry. By treating poems and their shared features as nodes and edges of a graph, we can study previously unknown relationships. To this end, we repurposed an open source poetry scanning program (the Scandroid by Charles O. Hartman) as a feature extractor for poetic meter and incorporated it into our machine learning workflow. We also made our own rhyme detector using the Carnegie Melon University Pronouncing Dictionary as our primary source of pronunciation information. Initial work already shows a useful ability to classify poems by use of poetic meter and rhyme. Future work will involve assembling the graph depicting the interconnected nature of poetry (and perhaps human thought in general) across history, geography, genre, etc. Keywords: Machine learning, digital humanities, poetry We also have a project websitehttp://artsites.uottawa.ca/margento/en/the-graph-poem/ at uOttawa. Please let me know if you want to know more about the tools we've developed.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 24 Nov 2015 09:45:26 -0500 From: Hannah L Jacobs Subject: ADHO Announces New Steering Committee Chair Website announcement: http://adho.org/announcements/2015/adho-announces-new-steering-committee-chair On November 11, John Nerbonne tendered his resignation as ADHO Steering Committee Chair in order to make way for new leadership. John was unanimously elected Chair of the Steering Committee (SC) at our Lausanne meetings in the summer of 2014, while serving as Chair of the Conference Coordinating Committee. The minutes of that meeting note that John's brief words of acceptance focused primarily on his goal of bringing new and diverse communities into ADHO, a cause for which he has worked tirelessly and on many fronts. The record of the SC over the past several years reflects John's numerous and important contributions to ADHO. Among his many other accomplishments during his tenure on the SC was the hard work he did to formalize the formation of the ADHO Foundation as a legal entity in the Netherlands—a crucial step in the organization's evolution—and his dogged pursuit of all the reforms envisioned as part of ADHO’s multi-year strategic planning process. Just a few weeks ago John convened a small but important summit to move that process forward yet again. We look forward to his continuing collegial presence in Digital Humanities, of course as a member of the informal fellowship of past SC Chairs that does so much to inform our work, but also in an advisory capacity for the complex reforms now underway. And above all, we would like to thank John for his long service to ADHO and the Digital Humanities generally. A new chair was elected on November 20: Karina van Dalen-Oskam. More about her can be found on https://www.huygens.knaw.nl/vandalen/?lang=en. Below goes her first message to all involved in or interested in ADHO. Dear fellow digital humanists, I have just been informed that I have been elected as the new Chair of the ADHO Steering Committee, to serve for the remainder of the current term, ending at DH2016 in Krakow. I will try to serve ADHO as best as I can as interim Chair. What I love about ADHO, and Digital Humanities in general, is that all people involved share the wish for innovation and collaboration. Innovation in our research, through collaboration with others – and best of all, with more and more diverse others. We want to draw everybody in, and want to make everybody feel welcome. That is a good thing. However, in the last few weeks, we found out the hard way that we deal with significant cultural differences in our ever-growing world-wide organization. Communication strategies that work well in one culture can be harmful and counterproductive in others. The good thing is that we have representatives of many different cultures in our midst, who can help in finding out the best ways to go forward. The first thing I have asked the Steering Committee to do, is to establish a protocol or a set of rules/guidelines for dealing with these fundamental cultural issues. We will not be the only organization that runs into this kind of problems. I have asked all members of the Steering Committee to do some research, and I would welcome input from others as well. Can you find guidelines that we could adopt/adapt for ADHO? Do colleagues from other international organizations have suggestions based on their own experience? Are there policy makers who can help? Please send your material and your own suggestions to me personally at karina.van.dalen@huygens.knaw.nl I will gather all information and together with the Steering Committee decide on which rules to follow for the remainder of my term. When we have selected a proper set of guidelines we will return to dealing with our daily business – and with a much better chance of success. I’d like to receive your ideas on Monday November 30 at the latest. You can mail me in the following languages (in order of preference): Dutch, English, German, Afrikaans, French. I will answer you in Dutch or English. I wish I had the time to add more of your languages to my short list. As you know, I am not a native speaker of English. This means that if you read something strange or funny in my messages, that is probably due to my non-native English. And if you would feel insulted by my words – then something has really gone wrong language-wise and/or culture-wise! In that case, please contact me personally, so I can take away any worries or explain in a better way what I meant. I am very much looking forward to collaborating with all of you. Yours sincerely, Karina van Dalen-Oskam Hannah L.

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. After the great success of our GCDH Spring School 2015 we will again bring together 20 international students who are interested in deepening their experience in modeling 3D objects, managing 3D data, and creating virtual worlds in 3D. You will be modeling 3D objects using Blender, reconstructing your 3D models with VisualSFM and MeshLab, and creating 3D virtual worlds using Unity 3D. In the morning sessions you will be taught advanced theory and knowledge about photogrammetry, meshing, etc. In the afternoon, you will deepen and broaden your knowledge in instructor-led labs where you will work on your own project. The workshops will be led by Johanna Pirker and Phil Gosch who already ran Part I of this Spring School in March 2015. Costs and fees: The registration fee for accepted applicants is 80 €. We provide free accommodation (single rooms) in near-by hotels, including breakfast, as well as lunch in the canteen. 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 international participants (MA and PhD students) who are experienced in using Blender, Unity 3D, and MeshLab/VisualSFM. Please send a covering letter indicating your motivation and previous knowledge to participate in the Spring School (1 page max.) and a short Curriculum Vitae (1 page max.) preferably as one PDF file to Prof Martin Langner (mlangne@gwdg.de). The deadline for applications is Sunday, 13 December 2015. You will be notified on your application status by Friday, 18 December 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 Prof Langner.

The expansion of new technologies over the last two centuries has often elicited a certain amount of alarm, but also an equal measure of fascination, both of which have had a significant impact on literature’s thematic preoccupations and formal developments. Technology has also crucially shaped the medium through which we read, teach, and research literature. Literature today remains at the interface of understanding and giving representational form to new and emerging technologies and the ways in which they pervade and mould our world, as well as make possible literary production, dissemination, and conservation. This conference seeks to explore the complex interrelations between literature and technology through a wide range of literary texts and contexts, as well as across historical and contemporary periods. We invite papers that engage with any aspect of literature and technology; explore the significance of digital technologies for teaching, reading, and research practice; analyze the relationship between literature and technology; and consider literature as a type of technology. We also invite papers that investigate literature which takes technology as its primary subject, either in terms of form and/or theme. We welcome proposals of 250 words for individual papers or panels. Please include a 100 word biography with your abstract. Topics may include, but are by no means limited to: · representations of technology in literature; · literature as technological process, including the transformation of genres; · the technological history of the book, including print-technologies and ebooks; · the relationship between technological change and the rise in literary modernism/postmodernism; · the evolution of narrative forms from print to digital media; · hypertext fiction; · the digitization of literary texts and archives; · the impact of digital technologies on reading, teaching, and research practice; · online authorship, gender, and power; · technological utopias and dystopias in literature; · the influence of past and present technologies (cinema, radio, print, hypertext, multimedia, etc.) on formal and thematic literary innovations; · the role of the internet in the reception and transmission of new literary texts, including issues of accessibility and digital censorship; · theoretical and philosophical approaches to literature’s relationship with technology. · Please send your proposals to aal2016@westernsydney.edu.au Deadline for submissions 31 January 2016 Please direct any queries to conference organisers: · Dr Anne Jamison (a.jamison@westernsydney.edu.au) · Dr Matt McGuire (m.mcguire@westernsydney.edu.au) ----- Dr Jason Ensor http://www.jasonensor.com/ | Research & Technical Development, Digital Humanities School of Humanities and Communication Arts P +61 2 9685 9891 | F + 61 2 9685 9075 www.jasonensor.com http://www.jasonensor.com/ | @JasonEnsor westernsydney.edu.au _______________________________________________ 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 6179276D9; Thu, 26 Nov 2015 08:58:57 +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 C563876C5; Thu, 26 Nov 2015 08:58:56 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1840D76C4; Thu, 26 Nov 2015 08:58:54 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151126075854.1840D76C4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2015 08:58:54 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.509 a timeline of storage devices 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: <20151126075857.23575.63626@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 509.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 27 Nov 2015 07:58:46 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: bibliographic wayfinding? A question better answered by many, I hope here, and with accompanying discussion: what do our bibliographic wayfinding practices look like now? (The word, 'wayfinding', is not yet in the OED, but the entry for it in Wikipedia is helpful, with some surprises, at least for me.) Let me explain the basis of the question. My studies for an MA degree were unmemorable except for one course, in bibliographic methods for students of English literature. Our professor took us to the library as a group and showed us how to use its resources. We must have had follow-up exercises, but what I remember very clearly is the step-by-step processes from book to book he showed us then, by *doing* it, then and there. That stuck and has served me well ever since. Later, but still in the dark ages some here will recall, during which I did my doctoral research, I put my old professor's lessons into practice. There were, of course, the standard reference books and one very helpful reference librarian with a PhD in history. But typically, on my own, I'd find a useful book or article, then follow the references in its footnotes and bibliography to other books and articles, and so on, until I had a shortlist of items that kept turning up or that otherwise looked worth investigating further. I'd supplement this with items I found nearby in the library stacks, in the same special issue of a journal and so on. My topic involved several disciplines (chiefly 17C English, Classics and Biblical Studies), so I had to stray off the usual paths for a doctoral student in English. The library I worked in (University of Toronto primarily, 7 million volumes then) was up to the task and kept me very busy, but I don't recall physical or mental exhaustion ever playing much of a role in limiting my bibliographic wayfinding. Now it does play a significant role. It's so easy to find relevant items from a far larger stock of materials, and so easy to be made aware of unsuspected intellectual terrain, that giving up the search when it is still yielding good stuff has become something I must live with. The choice is between that and never finishing anything. How I handle the items I do access -- is 'read' the right verb here? -- I treat somewhat differently. The fundamental process of note-taking, compilation and assimilation remains much the same. But the mechanisms are different and doubtless make a difference I am too busy to study. So let me ask a slightly more specific question: what would or does a (post)graduate-level digitally-aware course in bibliographic methods look like now? Who teaches it? Do research librarians play a role? Is digital humanities involved, and if not, why not?

In-Reply-To: <20151127080718.A48416CBD@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, It was great to see this message today as I have been looking for an excuse to re-connect to the list. I have a few angles to approach this question. In the world of Library and Information Studies, this topic is taught as "information behaviour." My experience with the literature on the topic is that it is mostly anecdotal and/or theoretical ("every one is different"). The discussion shifted around 2005 to usability studies and human-computer interaction. I don't think anything very transformative happened in terms of this research, other than it gave some strategies to improve search portals and etc. Later on from that, librarians found themselves locked into "here's how you use a database" lessons that were less relevant to students already familiar with the tools of the internet, so there was a shift to more broad instruction and "Library guide" development online. As I was a public rather than an academic library, I cannot speak to the success of these approaches. Certainly, a good amount of debate exists regarding the cost-benefit of this sort of thing. As a current PhD student in public policy, i've tried a number of strategies, but mostly "ad hoc" I would say. The best one, imho is to find a useful call number, hit the stacks and look for something newer than 2010. Eventually someone makes a claim that there is a "classic" work and you hit those up and then see who cited them. Another approach I've used for literature review is using a citation network and conducting some community detection. This is particularly important for interdisciplinary work due to common use of phrases with different meanings/contexts ("policy network" and "agenda setting" for example mean slightly different things in policy versus communications research). I think Google scholar is excellent for syllabus development, given the citation scores. If I am entering a field that I am not familiar with, syllabuses often do help with getting a grounding on the topic. And then there is just plain old social networking. Visiting other scholar's offices and asking for advice. I do have to say I am lucky for my library training. Many of my colleagues with much higher IQs think me a genius sometimes because of my ability to find sources that no one else seems able to find. I would imagine that there would be some different strategies for the humanities. I would also guess that, like the way I am more likely to encounter humanities articles, humanities students are more likely to encounter social and information sciences more frequently as well. This is often frustrating, but occasionally it is very rewarding too. Ryan. . .

Here is also the abstract of the forthcoming meter and rhyme paper: Poetry Classification by Meter and Rhyme as Part of the Graph Poem Project MARGENTO (Chris Tanasescu) margento.official@gmail.com Bryan Paget bdjpaget@gmail.com Diana Inkpen diana.inkpen@uottawa.ca University of Ottawa August 25, 2015 Abstract: This paper presents a brief introduction to the the Graph Poem project, which promises a novel approach for analyzing large corpora of poetry. By treating poems and their shared features as nodes and edges of a graph, we can study previously unknown relationships. To this end, we repurposed an open source poetry scanning program (the Scandroid by Charles O. Hartman) as a feature extractor for poetic meter and incorporated it into our machine learning workflow. We also made our own rhyme detector using the Carnegie Melon University Pronouncing Dictionary as our primary source of pronunciation information. Initial work already shows a useful ability to classify poems by use of poetic meter and rhyme. Future work will involve assembling the graph depicting the interconnected nature of poetry (and perhaps human thought in general) across history, geography, genre, etc. Keywords: Machine learning, digital humanities, poetry We also have a project websitehttp://artsites.uottawa.ca/margento/en/the-graph-poem/ at uOttawa. Please let me know if you want to know more about the tools we've developed.

There are various external indicators, evidence for which could be gathered from Humanist, among other sources: appointments, PhDs, studentships and fellowships, grants and so on. These are important, but more significant, I would think, is the slower- moving change in attitudes and understandings. In particular I'd like to know more about what individuals of the famous 'silent majority' might be overheard grumbling about as they walk away. Parades of bandwagons and celebrants come and go, what with all the 'turns' and 'next-new-things' swelling then depleting sessions at the MLA, the Zoo and at other large gatherings. Somewhere Freud remarked about how we chatter our secrets from our fingertips. I doubt nervous fidgeting would tell us much of use about attitudes toward digital humanities. But anecdotes of individual experiences with colleagues, whether individually, assembled in a committee or at some gathering, would be valuable to have. What are your experiences? What sort of reactions do you get once you're known as or thought to be a 'digital humanist'? When someone says much by saying little, what are they saying? The literary critic and concordance-maker Stephen Parrish, in the paper he gave at the IBM-sponsored Literary Data Processing Conference in 1964, describes attending C. P. Snow's lecture, "The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution", at Cambridge in 1959. "I remember measuring the reception from the assembled company of good gray dons and a few visitors as cool, if not hostile", he remarks. Those are the sort of reactions I'd like to know about in more detail for digital humanities now. What upsets those who resist by walking away? What about digital humanities turns people off? We speak of Luddites, but was there not more to them than their manner of protest? If the behaviour of modern crowds is an indication, I suspect that some of them were not exactly idealists. But even so, even in their violence, they had something to say. In the struggle to establish digital humanities at Toronto ca. 1984-1994, as I recall, backs were turned but explicit objections rarely voiced and never recorded. I wish now that I had made notes at the time. What are our own "cool, if not hostile" colleagues muttering these days? Comments?

I realized that technically that is inaccurate - page size being the main factor that distinguishes a digital image viewed on screen from a print facsimile edition held in the hand. Still part of me wanted strongly to use the word to facsimile to apply to the digital image. I am wondering if this were not an attempt to apprivoiser (tame) in the vein of Le Petit Prince. - Non, dit le petit prince. Je cherche des amis.

But as consciousness cannot be observed, nor commonly defined, is there now a true 'Science of Consciousness'? Are we there yet? We don't have definite answers, but do have directions and essential questions. Is the brain a computer? Does it process or generate information according to 'integrated information', 'global workspace', 'predictive coding', 'scale- invariant dynamics', 'Bayesian probabilities', 'pre-frontal feedback' or 'synchronous oscillations'? Did consciousness emerge during biological evolution, and if so, when, where, and how? Is consciousness causal, or are we just 'along for the ride'? Will consciousness be reproduced through brain mapping, transhumanism and/or artificial intelligence? Or does the brain 'tune into' and organize conscious precursors existing naturally in the universe? Will understanding of consciousness come through the quantum wavefunction, panpsychism, cosmology, or the very structure of spacetime geometry? Has consciousness been in the universe all along, and if so, did life and the brain evolve because of consciousness? What are the implications of either view on the nature of existence and treatment of mental and cognitive disorders? These questions and many others will be debated, discussed, celebrated and argued during a weeklong gathering of scientists, philosophers, artists, meditators and interested people from 70 countries at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, a luxurious eco-lodge in the mountains just north of Tucson, Arizona. The pre-conference workshop program is complete, the plenary speaker list is growing, and the social, entertainment and exhibit programs are taking shape. The abstract submission deadline for plenary, concurrent, poster and exhibit consideration has been extended to December 31. A preliminary Plenary Program will be announced in December. See below for themes, confirmed Plenary speakers, pre-conference workshops, social events and other information. Psychologist, philosopher and 'father' of the science of consciousness William James wrote: 'to have a glimpse of what consciousness is would be the scientific achievement before which all others would pale.' Join us on the path to that first glimpse. Themes and topics will include: * Three Roads to Consciousness: 'GW', 'PC' and 'HOT' * Moving From Correlates to Causes of Consciousness * Machine Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence * Origin and Evolution of Life and Consciousness * Quantum Brain Biology * Transcranial Brain Stimulation * The Karl Pribram Session - Levels, * Scale and Content of Consciousness * Mechanisms of Anesthesia and * Psychoactive Drugs * Virtual Reality * Consciousness and the Wavefunction * End-of-life Brain Activity Plenary speakers will include: Gyorgy Buzsaki, NYU, Neuroscience Institute, New York Stanislas Dehaene, INSERM-CEA, Paris Stuart Kauffman, Institute for Systems Biology, Seattle Harmut Neven, Google Walter Freeman, UC-Berkeley Katherine Peil, Northeastern University, Boston Stuart Hameroff, University of Arizona, CCS, Tucson Terrence Deacon, UC-Berkeley George Mashour, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Biyu Jade He, NYU Neuroscience/Radiology Anirban Bandyopadhyay, NIMS, Tsukuba Rudolph Tanzi, Harvard, Massachusetts General, Boston Deepak Chopra, Chopra Center, Carlsbad; UC-San Diego David Chalmers, NYU; ANU Henry Stapp, UC-Berkeley Christian Szegedy, Google Anil Seth, University of Sussex, Brighton Aaron Schurger, Ecole Polytechnique Federale, Lausanne Anthony Hudetz, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Jimo Borjigin, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor Alison Gopnik, UC-Berkeley Dean Radin, IONS, Petaluma Jakob Hohwy, Monash University, Melbourne Alyssa Ney, UC-Davis PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS - optional MONDAY Morning, April 25, 2016 9am-1pm * Kant and the Conscious Mind * Quantum Biology- Nature of Life Consciousness, Memory and Music DEI East-West Forum I Consciousness Versus Attention Altered State Healing In the Amazon Curriculum for Consciousness Studies Psi Research and Consciousness [...] Conference Website www.consciousness.arizona.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, 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 6CECC7752; Mon, 30 Nov 2015 08:42:48 +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 91AF7774F; Mon, 30 Nov 2015 08:42:47 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 032FE6A52; Mon, 30 Nov 2015 08:42:44 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151130074245.032FE6A52@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2015 08:42:44 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.517 tools to analyze poetry 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: <20151130074248.22278.25148@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 517.

Cher(e)s collègues, Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la tenue du colloque Remettre en jeu le passé. Métamorphoses du corpus des Registres de la Comédie-Française 1680-1793//2013-2016 qui se tiendra à Paris du 14 au 16 décembre prochain. Comme vous le verrez dans notre programme, disponible sur le site cfregisters.org, notre manifestation se propose d’aborder tous les domaines d’application du programme Registres de la Comédie-Française, projet reposant avant tout sur la notion de «corpus». Le premier jour sera consacré à ses prolongements dans le domaine de la pratique artistique autour d’une expérience/réflexion sur le «répertoire», entendu au sens de corpus théâtral. Le deuxième jour permettra d’aborder les résultats du projet dans le domaine de la pratique scientifique, nécessairement remise en question par la transformation d’un corpus papier en un corpus numérique, mais aussi et surtout en une base de données et des outils de recherche adaptés. Le troisième jour proposera non seulement une réflexion méthodologique et critique sur cette notion de corpus, modifié dans le contexte des humanités numériques, mais aussi une expérimentation pratique et concrète de manipulation de ce corpus par des informaticiens. Bien cordialement, Sara Harvey (sararvey@hotmail.com) Jeff Ravel (ravel@mit.edu) ********************************************************* Dear Colleagues, We are pleased to announce the forthcoming conference Remettre en jeu le passé. Métamorphoses du corpus des Registres de la Comédie-Française 1680-1793//2013-2016 which will take place in Paris on 14-16 December 2015. As you will see in our conference program, available on the home page of the Comédie-Française Registers web site (cfregisters.org), our gathering will examine the many uses of the Comédie-Française Registers Project (CFRP). The first day of the conference will be devoted to an exploration of the troupe’s eighteenth-century repertory, led by current members of the Comédie-Française acting ensemble. The second day will be given over to papers that explore the scholarly applications of the database in the fields of theater studies, French literature, and cultural history. In particular these papers will examine new questions and new meanings as one moves to a study of the troupe’s history in an online environment characterized by a searchable database of box office receipts. The third day of the conference will offer reflections on this online methodology, as well as a hack-a-thon where DH programmers will be invited to create new search and visualization tools appropriate for the CFRP dataset.

To further strengthen our world-leading research areas we are investing to develop exciting opportunities in multi-disciplinary research. The Digital Living multidisciplinary research theme is a university wide initiative which draws together expertise from the Faculty of Engineering & Environment, Faculty of Health & Life Sciences, and Faculty of Business & Law. Digital Living is focused on secure digital cities and, specifically, is concerned with digital technology, the city, security, and economy at the intersection of which lie relationships between people, technology, and place. A key focus of investigation which unites and transcends these core issues is data - how it is acquired, stored, managed, processed, kept secure, made available, presented, and visualised together with considerations of data privacy. We seek to appoint high calibre individuals at Professorial and Reader level with an excellent international reputation in any of the research areas relevant to the Digital Living multidisciplinary research theme. Depending on your core discipline area you will be based in the Department of Architecture & Built Environment, Department of Computer Science & Digital Technologies, Department of Mathematics & Information Sciences, or the Department of Psychology. You will drive and enhance the best quality research, teaching, and entrepreneurial activities, and actively encourage this amongst colleagues. We will consider high quality applicants whose research will contribute to the Digital Living theme, as described, which might include those with expertise in, for example, big data and data science, data security and digital identities, urban or geo-informatics, health data, or the social and economic impact of large scale digital platforms and services. You must hold a first degree and be qualified to Doctoral level in a relevant discipline and have leading subject expertise in an area relevant to the Digital Living theme with specialist knowledge gained through research activity, professional practice or consultancy.

The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. This hackathon presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This hackathon will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to hackathon, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language such as Python strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. Thanks to the generous support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the University of Waterloo’s Department of History, the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the University of Waterloo, the University of Toronto Library, the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University, the University of Québec in Outaouais, the Internet Archive, Library and Archives Canada, and Compute Canada, we will cover all meals and refreshments for attendees. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the hackathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: - the .gov web archive covering the American government domain; - the Government of Canada web archive from Library and Archives Canada; - the Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups web archive from the University of Toronto. Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Ian Milligan (i2millig@uwaterloo.ca) by midnight on 7 December 2015. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the hackathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by 18 December 2015. For graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and researchers in contingent positions, we have a limited number of travel grants available. These grants can cover up to $750 in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant. A letter of support from your graduate supervisor will also strengthen your application (it can be sent directly with your application, or separately).

April 6-8 2016 Second MEDEA Workshop Wheaton College, Norton, Massachusetts, April 6-8, 2016 Account books allow scholars to explore the development of economic behavior on both a macro- and micro-structural level. In our first workshop at the University of Regensburg in October 2015, we heard from scholars who have begun to explore models for digitizing such sources in projects in Europe and the United States. Our second workshop will include reports on testing of models from the first workshop as well as presentations by scholars new to the MEDEA project. The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) has developed useful models to encode texts and digital scholarly editions, and the Semantic Web offers opportunities to collect and compare data from multiple digital projects. The MEDEA project looks at these methods with the goal of developing broad standards for producing semantically enriched digital editions of accounts. It fosters discussion of benefits and deficiencies in existing standards by bringing together economic historians, scholarly editors, and technical experts to discuss and test emerging methods for semantic markup of account books. For this purpose we call for contributions of scholars with experiences in the scholarly edition of historical financial records and ideas about how to use digital methods within this context. We invite proposals for participation in our second workshop, which will be held at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts (USA), April 6-8, 2016. Participants will present current research projects using data from historical account books, describe the encoding models of their projects, and share ideas for a common model. The discussions and examples will focus on a set of questions intended to elucidate the features of accounts of greatest interest to scholars. Thus the activities will focus on the following issues: How might we model the economic activities recorded in these documents? In particular: What models of bookkeeping were followed historically and how can they be represented formally? Are data models developed for modern business reporting helpful? How can we model the economic reality behind the texts? Can we establish common resources on metrics and currencies or even the value of money that can be reused in other projects? Is it possible to build common taxonomies of commodities and services to facilitate the comparison of financial information recorded at different places and times? That is, can we develop references on the order of name authorities and standards for geo-referencing? How might we integrate topological information of the transcription with its financial interpretation? Is the 'œtable' an appropriate method? What possibilities are offered by the TEI Manuscripts module and use of the tei:zone element? How can we integrate a topological/documentary approach and the growing linguistic interest in the texts with the interpretations that economic and social historians extract from the documents? Submit proposals (not to exceed 700 words) to medea.workshop@ur.de by January 15, 2016. The program committee will notify applicants of results no later than January 31, 2016. We particularly encourage proposals from early-career researchers. A limited budget is available to support costs of travel and accommodation. Please do not hesitate to contact us for additional information.

This one day conference will show how literary treasures such as unique manuscripts in the British Library archive might be re-imagined through drama, film and videogame by students and young people. It will feature game-play, film and drama demonstrations, and talks by academics, educators and curators with different takes on how such transformations happen and what they mean. This event is suitable for researchers and educators in literary studies, game studies, media studies, film studies, mediaeval studies; librarians, curators and archivists in the GLAM sector. Keynote speakers include: Professor Ian Bogost, Georgia Institute of Technology; and, Professor Andrew Prescott, Theme Fellow, AHRC Digital Transformations. This day marks the end of Playing Beowulf: Gaming the Library, a project conducted by UCL Education and English, in partnership with the British Library and University of Sydney, supported by the AHRC’s Digital Transformations programme - See more at: http://www.bl.uk/events/ludic-literature-and-literary-games#sthash.zUJgp8vM.dpuf Andrew Prescott FSA FRHistS Professor of Digital Humanities AHRC Theme Leader Fellow for Digital Transformations University of Glasgow andrew.prescott@glasgow.ac.uk @ajprescott 07743895209 _______________________________________________ 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 9B4747787; Tue, 1 Dec 2015 09:32:46 +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 11021777F; Tue, 1 Dec 2015 09:32:45 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D4513777B; Tue, 1 Dec 2015 09:32:41 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151201083241.D4513777B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 09:32:41 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.521 courses at the Digital Innovations Lab 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: <20151201083246.29230.49479@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 521.

Kelly" Subject: Re: 29.511 bibliographic wayfinding In-Reply-To: <20151128073150.C6B316625@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, This is a very interesting question and one on which you've already bestowed a fitting, contemporary name. I first encountered the issue when I entered library school upon leaving off after only a short while a graduate program in English literature. What I came to realize courtesy of library science classes was the absolute lack of preparation I had in the ways of graduate, scholarly research and the then-essential tools of the trade (ca. early 1970's). Once armed with the bibliographic background library school afforded, I re-essayed my graduate work in English and earned an MA. By way of some other pertinent background, undergraduate library instruction didn't really come into its own in the U.S. until the mid-1970's (variously called bibliographic instruction, library instruction, and latterly, information literacy). This to some extent has helped to make the undergraduate a more savvy tyro, but the truly deep and exhaustive complement to it intended for graduate students has generally disappeared. I knew of the U of Toronto's famed bibliography course as of some date in the later 1970's, but similar ones were few and far between and have generally languished with the inroads of new styles of criticism. Here at UMass Amherst, there has been a traditional research methods course on the books for years (probably now gone), but it hasn't been taught in the 21 years that I've been here. I've tried to resuscitate it as a co-taught course with English Dept. faculty and librarians, but that has gone nowhere. The closest I've been able to do albeit in a different arena is to teach the Literature of the Humanities course for the School of Library and Information Science at Simmons College in a manner that at least tries to expose the students to not only the traditional humanistic disciplines but also to embed those subjects in the context of digital humanities, current practices in special collections and archives, and the discovery of noteworthy sites on the internet which should have greater currency in their respective fields. I had the great good fortune of spending the first 20 years of my career as a cataloger, and the knowledge gained therefrom has made me a much better reference librarian over the succeeding 20+ years. That combined with a familiarity with traditional and digital tools as well as having to hand a cadre of librarians at other institutions has made all the difference.

Just a few comments. Ryan seems to be dismissive of library instruction as though some familiarity with the internet is the same as effectively searching the databases the library spends good money to subscribe to. Browsing is certainly a tried and true method for locating material but he seems unaware that the subject section of the catalog identifies books on his subject that are not in his favorite call number section. When a book is about several subjects the library does not buy several copies but assigns one call number and then adds several subject headings in the catalog to alert researchers about their existence. And needless to say going to the shelf will not identify e-books the library gives access to. Ryan does not seem to be aware that the raw material for doing research in public policy may entail using a wide variety of resources such as government documents, reports and policy papers from NGO's, polls, and statistics, etc. Neither the catalog nor Google Scholar covers these resources adequately. Instead Library Guides point to where these types of publication can be located, both those available to anyone, and those the library has paid for and therefore restricted to the institution's members.

I've copied the complete description below, and it's also available on the CLIR website: http://www.clir.org/fellowships/postdoc/applicants/university-of-pennsylvania. The Deadline for application for all the postdocs is December 30th; application specifics are here: http://www.clir.org/fellowships/postdoc/applicants I'm happy to answer any questions about the Penn post. The other postdocs in the program are listed here: http://www.clir.org/fellowships/postdoc/applicants/dc-medieval Thanks, Dot ********* University of Pennsylvania *Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Manuscript Studies* The University of Pennsylvania Libraries seek an innovative and energetic CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Manuscript Studies to play an integral role in the working life of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) in the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts at Penn’s Van Pelt-Dietrich Library. *About the Position:* The Fellow will work on the SIMS team on several overlapping initiatives that explore both the materiality of medieval manuscripts as within a digital context and the possibilities of analyzing texts that the codices contain. These initiatives include: - Collation Visualization, a developing set of tools that enable scholars to virtually model and visualize the physical construction of manuscripts, relating the models to digital images and content https://github.com/leoba/VisColland http://dorpdev.library.upenn.edu/collation/ - Digital Editions, a project to create image-based editions of medieval manuscripts from our own and other collections and publish them online. (Complete: http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/ljs225/, http://sceti.library.upenn.edu/ljs225/ under development: http://schoenberginstitute.org/pembroke25) - Manuscript Ebooks, an ongoing project to create ebooks (in the epub format) from manuscripts in OPenn and from other open source repositories. http://repository.upenn.edu/sims_ebooks http://repository.upenn.edu/sims_ebooks/ / http://repository.upenn.edu/sims_ebooks/ - Kalendarium, a project to build a crowd-sourced digital tool for collecting and identifying all the world’s medieval liturgical calendars. Begun at Penn, participants now include Stanford University and the Morgan Library as well as universities in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Scotland. http://schoenberginstitute.org/kalendarium/ - Video Facsimiles, an experimental project to create high-quality videos of complete manuscripts and annotate them on textual content, visual content, and issues of materiality. http://scalar.usc.edu/works/video-facsimiles/index - Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts, currently in year two of a three-year, $300,000 grant from the NEH, which collects information about both the current and historic locations of the world's pre-1600 manuscript books, creating a metacatalogue for finding and indexing the world's manuscripts. http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg/ - Video Orientations, short (1-2 minute) videos that briefly introduce our manuscripts to a general audience, which are stored in our scholarly repository, shared on social media, and linked to manuscript records in our OPAC.http://repository.upenn.edu/sims_video/ The centerpiece of the Fellow’s work will be developing a new initiative in conjunction with SIMS staff and using Penn’s physical and digital resources. This initiative may be a single extended project, or several short-term projects. This would be a two-year position, funded by the Mellon Foundation (via CLIR) and the Penn Libraries. *Required Qualifications:* - PhD in an area of medieval studies, with a concentration in the history of the book - Working knowledge of at least two non-English languages *Preferred Qualifications:* - Experience with prior digital projects and some knowledge of programming *Fellow Responsibilities:* - Contribute to the work of SIMS by supporting existing work as relevant to his or her interests, and develop his or her own initiative to work on during the course of the fellowship, as described above. - Participate in the ongoing digitization of medieval manuscripts through cataloging new manuscripts and generating metadata for existing manuscripts. - Assist the library in the adoption of new technologies for access to medieval material, including the International Image Interoperability Framework http://iiif.io/ - Participate in the curation of special collections library data, including: - Curation of data in OPenn (our open access collection of digitized medieval manuscript data:http://openn.library.upenn.edu/ - Development of a data repository in the library for data already available through Penn; - Curation of originally developed video content. - Participate in the acquisition of manuscript-related digital resources by Penn Libraries. - Make regular contributions to the Penn Libraries Manuscripts Tumblr (http://upennmanuscripts.tumblr.com/ At Penn the Fellow will receive mentoring and guidance from experts in the field. These include Dot Porter (Curator of Digital Research Services), Will Noel (Director – SIMS and Kislak Center), Doug Emery (Digital Content Programmer), Robert Ousterhout (Professor of History of Art, Director of the Center for Ancient Studies), as well as the wider Philadelphia history of the book community. The Fellow will be hosted by SIMS and have a joint appointment in the department of the History of Art at Penn. He or she will also participate in the programs of the Kislak Center and the department of the History of Art. These include organizing seminars on best digital practices, delivering lectures, and curating exhibitions. The Fellow will help plan, solicit contributions, and speak at the ninth annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age in 2017. This will provide the Fellow with a platform for presenting new developments in the field of medieval data curation, including those to which he or she has contributed. *About the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies and the Kislak Center* The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies is a teaching and research center devoted to the study of manuscripts in their material and digital forms. Housed in the Penn Libraries’ Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, SIMS emphasizes hands-on work with unique witnesses to the past through the practical study of paleography, codicology, illumination, book arts, book history and the history of science and medicine, among many other fields. These primary source materials offer the Penn community and scholars everywhere unprecedented opportunities for collaboration in multidisciplinary research and scholarship. SIMS engages with regional and international institutions to foster study and use of the collection through lectures, symposia, publications, and digitization programs, and holds a firm commitment to develop and promote digital technologies that instruct and inspire scholars and students around the world through forward-thinking open-access policies. The Kislak Center is the product of a $17 million renovation project and houses an extraordinary collection of rare books and manuscripts. Its mission is to bring collections, modern technology, and a wide base of patrons together to facilitate access to our common cultural heritage. The fellow will benefit from the combined skills and knowledge of the Kislak Center’s staff as well as faculty of the humanities departments, and the wider resources, of the University. Through its faculty and library resources, the University of Pennsylvania has long been at the forefront of book history and material text research, especially in the medieval and early modern period. The fellow will play a key role in developing this field through his or her research as an integral part of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies team. -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 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, 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 1E7A277A4; Wed, 2 Dec 2015 09:52:48 +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 3DB32778E; Wed, 2 Dec 2015 09:52:47 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8055F777C; Wed, 2 Dec 2015 09:52:44 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151202085244.8055F777C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 2 Dec 2015 09:52:44 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.524 events: religion & technology; participation 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: <20151202085247.1284.35488@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 524.

Machina: Intersections of Religion and Technology The 4th Annual University of Toronto Centre for Ethics Graduate Student Conference April 29th-30th, 2016 Keynote Speaker John L. Modern, Franklin and Marshall College Recent work in theory, religion, and ethics has attempted to confront the intersection of religion and technology in modernity. This scholarship, coming from a wide range of theoretical backgrounds, challenges our understanding of the relationship between faith traditions and technological innovation. Some go so far as to question the structure of the relationship itself, and assert that an adequate moral or political theory must consider, include, and revisit new approaches to this perennial debate. The graduate students at the University of Toronto Centre for Ethics invite papers exploring these and related issues. We welcome submissions from all related disciplines, including religion, political theory, political science, philosophy, history, etc. Those whose work is critical of the theme(s) are also encouraged to apply, as well as comparative ethical approaches (including non-Western ethics), and submissions grounded in the history of political thought or the study of religion. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - Ethical Paradigms and Modernity - Religion and Technology in Political, Religious, or Philosophic Thought - Digital Worlds (online ministries, televangelists, social media) - (Neo)fundamentalism - Depictions of Religion and Technology in Literature - Transhumanism/Posthumanism - Artificial Intelligence - Terrorism and/or Global Conflict Deadline for Submission: January 15th, 2016. Interested participants should send an abstract of their paper, not exceeding 500 words, tograduateassociates@gmail.com. Submissions must be in PDF format and prepared for blind review. In your email, please include your name, abstract title, and institutional affiliation. Only one submission per author. Panels will have faculty discussants from a variety of disciplines at the University of Toronto. Keynote presentation and reception to take place April 29th. Some travel funds may be available (amount and availability TBD). For more information, please contact us at graduateassociates@gmail.com. *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1448980921_2015-12-01_humanist-owner@lists.digitalhumanities.org_3221.2.pdf --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Dec 2015 16:14:18 +0000 From: Hetty Blades Subject: Digital Echoes 2016 - call for proposals In-Reply-To: <1448527140044.95640@coventry.ac.uk> Call for Proposals Digital Echoes Symposium 2016: (Re)Collecting the Past: (Re)Making the Future 4th March 2016 Centre for Dance Research (C-DaRE) Coventry University For the 6th edition of the Digital Echoes Symposium, we focus on participation as one of the most prominent legacies of the digital, in particular how it invokes processes of collectivity, democratisation and decentring. We consider participation as a process, a framework for access and production, but also increasingly becoming a philosophy and a culture. In response to this theme, we invite researchers and practitioners in dance, the arts and the humanities, to reflect on practices of collecting, archiving and safekeeping, how these traces are being used to configure new ways of imagining futures, and how such practices highlight the legacy of the digital on humanistic and artistic disciplines. As the title suggests, we invite a reflective and critical examination of digital archival practices, with a focus on dance and neighbouring art forms. We look at the future through a frame of making, or crafting, which evokes discourses on materiality and immateriality, tangible and intangible, conversion and representation. Through representation in digital formats ephemeral performative acts gain tangible qualities. Yet tangibility does not mean fixation; as digital representations are manipulated, stored, accessed, retrieved and re-used they are simultaneously objectified and re-formed, as they are increasingly used and re-used in different formats and in new contexts. We invite contributions that consider the impacts of public/user participation on archival practice and research, and their legacy for the future. Call for proposals We invite applications for papers, panels, posters, roundtables and performative presentations (with limited technical requirements) that engage analytically, critically, creatively or reflexively with the themes below. We also welcome proposals for demonstrations of tools, platforms and apps that exemplify best practices and innovative approaches for interacting with cultural heritage as user, audience, author, artist and researcher. Themes ● The politics of participation in performing arts archival and documentation practices: How does public or citizen involvement in archival practices affect established hierarchies and canons? How does it affect taken for granted ideas about whose ideas and practice are given visibility and represented, and how? ● Collectivity and co-creative practices: What are the potentials and problematics of collectives? How does co-creation function in artistic and archival practices? How do collaborative relationships between archivists, technologists, artists and researchers cultivate generative interdisciplinary exchanges? What are the meeting points or sticking points? How might we create innovate archival projects that cross disciplinary frameworks? ● The reuse and reconfiguration of artistic and cultural content: The reuse of cultural content, and the ways that users might enrich existing sources through creative activities. ● Between amateurism and citizen science: What are the sources of legitimacy for user involvement? What distinguishes citizen science from amateurism? What are the boundaries of involvement, so that the foundations for research credibility and validity are not affected? What are the forms, best practices, promises and limits of crowdsourcing? ● Epistemologies, languages, vocabularies: Which forms of knowledge are cultivated and disseminated through participatory archival projects? How might linguistic frameworks usher in fresh forms of thinking and reveal underlying frameworks? ● Impacts on practice. How does the reuse of cultural content feed back into artistic and scholarly practices? How does the fictional user inform on the development of archival practices? ● Processes and tools: What processes, flows, methodologies are there that support rewarding ways of involving the user and the public in storing, classifying, and configuring access pathways to archival material? What digital tools, platforms and infrastructures? Format for submissions Paper presentations are limited to 20 minutes. Proposals for roundtables, demonstrations and other non-standard presentations will be dealt with on a case by case basis. In your proposal please include the following: Names of presenters and organisational/institutional affiliation(s) Technical, space and duration requirements Biography (max 100 words) Title and type of submission (panel, poster, performance, etc.) 500 word abstract/description Bibliography (optional) The deadline for submission of proposals is 15th of January 2016.

August 11 or 12, 2016 (to be confirmed) Berlin, Germany https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2016/ ****************************************************************** ** About the Workshop ** 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, LaTeCH 2014 at EACL in Gothenburg, Sweden and LaTeCH 2015 at ACL-IJCNLP 2015 in Beijing, China. ** 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 ** 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 2016 submission website. For more details, please visit: https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2016/. ** Important Dates ** Short & long paper submission deadline: May 1st, 2016 Notification of acceptance: June 5, 2016 Camera-ready papers due: June 22, 2016 ACL workshop dates: August 11-12, 2016 [...] ** Contact ** Nils Reiter nils.reiter@ims.uni-stuttgart.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, 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 8879B780B; Fri, 4 Dec 2015 07:31:24 +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 C9EBC77FC; Fri, 4 Dec 2015 07:31:23 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E2AAD77FA; Fri, 4 Dec 2015 07:31:21 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151204063121.E2AAD77FA@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 4 Dec 2015 07:31:21 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.530 articles on music & film datasets 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: <20151204063124.15099.3747@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 530.

Berry and Michael Dieter Monday 7th December at 6pm Digital Humanities Research Lab, 2nd Floor Silverstone, University of Sussex We would like to welcome you to the book launch of Postdigital Aesthetics: Art, Computation and Design (2015) edited by David M. Berry and Michael Dieter (following the research seminar by Federica Frabetti at 4pm). With a response from Beatrice Fazi. Followed by drinks. Postdigital Aesthetics presents a constellation of contributors who seek to unpack, explore and critically reflect on the questions raised by the notion of the postdigital and its relation to our computational everyday lives. Through a number of interventions, each chapter subjects the concept and ideas that surround our ideas of an aesthetic of the postdigital to critical examination to understand the new asterism of material digital culture in the twenty-first century. From Minecraft to post-internet art, each contributor offers an original perspective on network culture and its distinctive aesthetics and politics, and the relations between art, computation and design. 'What is the digital? Or rather, what was it? And how has culture changed, now that the Internet got normal? In this capacious compendium of essays, some of the world's leading scholars discuss the art and culture of the present age, a time not so much 'of' the digital but forged in reaction to it. From the New Aesthetic and Post-Internet Art to more exotic trends in contemporary theory, this timely volume explores what it means to see, feel, and think after the advent of ubiquitous digitality.' Alexander R. Galloway, New York University, USA "Computational thought and perspectives now permeate every aspect of our lives and profoundly influence our cultural and aesthetic perceptions, leading to claims of the emergence of a new aesthetic. However, the postdigital landscape is not the techno-utopian dream of Silicon Valley, but a vibrant, messy, conflicted and confusing arena of debate and uncertainty which challenges every aspect of our cultural formation, including our own humanity. This groundbreaking collection of essays is a thought-provoking guide to a new and contested intellectual territory.' Andrew Prescott, University of Glasgow, UK We look forward to seeing you there.

With faster computers and cheaper storage, bigger data sets are becoming abundant. Social media is a key source of big data in the form of user and system generated content. What do we do with all of the social data and how do we make sense of it? How does the use of social media platforms and the data that they generate change us, our organizations, and our society? What are the inherent challenges and issues associated with working with social media data? What obligations do we have as social media researchers to protect the privacy of the users? These are just a few questions that will be explored at the 2016 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety). Now, in its 7th year, the conference is an interdisciplinary academic conference focusing exclusively on social media research. The conference brings together top researchers and practitioners from academia and industry who are interested in studying and understanding social media impact and implications on society. This year's conference offers an intensive three-day program comprising of workshops, tutorials, paper presentations, panel discussions, and posters covering wide-ranging topics related to social media research. PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES: Full papers presented at the conference will be published in the Conference Proceedings by ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS). All accepted papers (full and WIP) will also be invited to submit their extended papers to Special Issues of Big Data & Society (BD&S) and American Behavioral Scientist (ABS) published by SAGE Publications.

The aims of the consortium are: - to provide a forum for students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers; - to promote contacts among PhD students working in similar areas; - to support students with information and advice on academic, research and industrial careers. The DC is intended for PhD students who have a specific research proposal and some preliminary results, but who have sufficient time prior to completing their dissertation to benefit from the consortium experience. Preference will be given to students satisfying these criteria, but well-motivated applications from students who are at earlier or later stages of their doctoral studies will still be considered. 2) STUDENT SPONSORSHIPS Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, KR will provide registration and accommodation for selected students. We expect to be able to provide support for all Doctoral Consortium participants that volunteer to help with local organization. Additionally, there is dedicated NSF funding to help cover the travel costs of Doctoral Consortium participants from US universities. More details on student support can be found on the KR website. 3) APPLICATION SUBMISSION Applications must be submitted by email to the following address: kr2016dc@gmail.com Each application must contain the following materials: - Thesis summary. A description of the problem being addressed, your motivation for addressing the problem, proposed plan of research, the progress to date (what you have already achieved and what remains to be done), and related work. It must be four pages maximum in AAAI style (http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php). - Curriculum Vitae. A description of your background and relevant experience (research, education, employment). - Letter of recommendation. A letter from your thesis advisor that states that he/she supports your participation in the DC. - Indication of whether you request a sponsored studentship, and if so, whether you volunteer to help with local organization during KR, DL, and NMR. Optionally, you can suggest 3-5 potential mentors with similar research interests as you, who could give you good advice on technical aspects of your work, and/or your career. The most preferred way of submission is to combine the thesis summary and the letter of recommendation (and, optionally, the list of suggested mentors) into a single PDF document. If you cannot do that, archive the documents into a single zip file. 4) IMPORTANT DATES - 21 December 2015: Deadline for application - 15 January 2015: Acceptance notification - 25-29 April 2015: Doctoral consortium For further information, please contact the Doctoral Consortium chairs: Meghyn Bienvenu, CNRS (meghyn.bienvenu@lirmm.fr) Joohyung Lee, Arizona State University (joolee@asu.edu) -- Ivan Varzinczak - http://member.acm.org/~ijv Centre de Recherche en Informatique de Lens Université d’Artois, France _______________________________________________ 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 9DEE27829; Mon, 7 Dec 2015 09:33:51 +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 4C93F781C; Mon, 7 Dec 2015 09:33:50 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3829F7796; Mon, 7 Dec 2015 09:33:48 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151207083348.3829F7796@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 7 Dec 2015 09:33:48 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.534 events: digital poetics 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: <20151207083350.22927.34725@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 534.

Deadline for submitting abstracts: January 7, 2016. Date of the conference: June 16-18, 2016 Venue of the conference: University of Amsterdam Here is the call for abstracts: Digital Poetics and the Multimodal Novel Multimodal novels stipulate conceptual shifts in our understanding and experience of literature, according to Wolfgang Hallet. Though the genre label “multimodal novel” is a recent coinage, graphic resources such as experimental typography and layout, images and illustrations, which contribute to multimodal aesthetics, have appeared in novels for centuries. Samuel Richardson, Laurence Sterne, and Edgar Allan Poe utilized the expressive properties of typeface and layout in their narratives. In the early twentieth century, practitioners of the historical avant-garde including Andre Breton and F.T. Marinetti also produced multimodal narratives. In most of these cases, the multimodality of the texts resulted from the author’s interest in exploring the affordances and the constraints of writing and printing technologies. Since the 1980s (approx) personal computers and the popularity of digital platforms for reading and writing have offered unique opportunities for innovating narrative forms. As Alison Gibbons observes, “The rise of digital technologies in the late twentieth century has certainly impacted upon the publishing industry;...in print-based publishing the fact that images and word-image combinations can now be produced cheaply and more easily has resulted in an increase of multimodal works into the mainstream market.” Scholars such as N. Katherine Hayles and Jessica Pressman have analyzed digital poetics, or the manner in which computers and computation influence narrative forms. In this panel, we would like to examine how digital technologies and interfaces shape the narratives of contemporary multimodal novels available in codex form such as Mark Danielewski's House of Leaves, Steve Tomasula's VAS: An Opera in Flatland, Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, among many others. We invite 150-200 word abstracts from faculty, graduate students, and independent scholars who might be interested in exploring narratological issues, perspectives, and challenges posed by “multimodal novels” in the context of contemporary electronic culture to join us as presenters on this panel to be proposed for the International Narrative Conference 2016 at University of Amsterdam (June 16-18, 2016). Here is a list of possible questions to be discussed: --How do digital technologies affect the temporality or the spatiality of multimodal novels? --In what ways do technological and economic considerations influence the reception of multimodal novels? What accounts for their increased popularity at present as opposed to the niche markets of the historical avant-garde? --How do digital technologies affect the representation of bodies and minds in multimodal novels? --To what extent do digital poetics and multimodal novels complement or complicate existing narratological approaches which often privilege the verbal over the other modalities? --At a time when digital technology makes alternate platforms of reading and writing available, in what ways do multimodal novels prompt us to think about authorial or readerly engagement with books in physical or corporeal terms, and how can we understand this physical interaction in relation to the text’s narrative? --To what extent are the narrative strategies of multimodal novels, produced within the contemporary media ecology, different from or similar to those employed in pre-digital narratives such as Tristram Shandy (1759) or Willie Masters’ Lonesome Wife (1968)? Please submit abstracts to Corey Efron at efron[dot]2[at]osu[dot]edu or Torsa Ghosal at ghosal[dot]2[at]osu[dot]edu by January 7th, 2016.

But as consciousness cannot be observed, nor commonly defined, is there now a true 'Science of Consciousness'? Are we there yet? We don't have definite answers, but do have directions and essential questions. Is the brain a computer? Does it process or generate information according to 'integrated information', 'global workspace', 'predictive coding', 'scale-invariant dynamics', 'Bayesian probabilities', 'pre-frontal feedback' or 'synchronous oscillations'? Did consciousness emerge during biological evolution, and if so, when, where, and how? Is consciousness causal, or are we just 'along for the ride'? Will consciousness be reproduced through brain mapping, transhumanism and/or artificial intelligence? Or does the brain 'tune into' and organize conscious precursors existing naturally in the universe? Will understanding of consciousness come through the quantum wavefunction, panpsychism, cosmology, or the very structure of spacetime geometry? Has consciousness been in the universe all along, and if so, did life and the brain evolve because of consciousness? What are the implications of either view on the nature of existence and treatment of mental and cognitive disorders? These questions and many others will be debated, discussed, celebrated and argued during a weeklong gathering of scientists, philosophers, artists, meditators and interested people from 70 countries at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, a luxurious eco-lodge in the mountains just north of Tucson, Arizona.

Please join me in thanking our wonderful Guest Editors, Arianna Ciula and Fabio Ciotti. The full announcement of issue 8 follows. John A. Walsh General Editor, Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear colleagues and friends, The editorial team behind the production of issue 8 of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative (Selected Papers from the 2013 TEI Conference) is very pleased to announce that publication for this issue is now complete. This was a very rewarding collaboration yet rather hard work given the exceptional length of the issue. We have organized the content into themed sections: TEI in relation to other semantic and modeling formalisms; TEI as an expression of domain-specific text and data models; TEI processing workflows and tools. We would like to thank, first of all, the authors themselves for their scholarly contribution as well as patience with the editing and production cycle. Needless to say, the journal reviewers were instrumental to this issue taking the shape it has. Last but not least we would like to record our gratitude to our meticulous copy-editor/s (name/s?). Three last items were just added to the table of content, namely: Arianna Ciula and Fabio Ciotti Editorial Introduction to Issue 8 of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative Fabio Ciotti, Maurizio Lana, and Francesca Tomasi TEI, Ontologies, Linked Open Data: Geolat and Beyond Karlheinz Mörth, Laurent Romary, Gerhard Budin, and Daniel Schopper Modeling Frequency Data: Methodological Considerations on the Relationship between Dictionaries and Corpora Previous published articles in this issue (http://jtei.revues.org/1025): Michelle Dalmau and Kevin Hawkins - "Reports of My Death Are Greatly Exaggerated”: Findings from the TEI in Libraries Survey Wendell Piez - TEI in LMNL: Implications for Modeling Giliola Barbero and Francesca Trasselli - Manus OnLine and the Text Encoding Initiative Schema Roberto Rosselli Del Turco, Giancarlo Buomprisco, Chiara Di Pietro, Julia Kenny, Raffaele Masotti, and Jacopo Pugliese - Edition Visualization Technology: A Simple Tool to Visualize TEI-based Digital Editions Susanne Haaf, Alexander Geyken, and Frank Wiegand: The DTA “Base Format” - A TEI Subset for the Compilation of a Large Reference Corpus of Printed Text from Multiple Sources António Rito Silva and Manuel Portela - TEI4LdoD: Textual Encoding and Social Editing in Web 2.0 Environments Øyvind Eide - Ontologies, Data Modeling, and TEI Monica Berti, Bridget Almas, David Dubin, Greta Franzini, Simona Stoyanova, and Gregory R.

Co-located with LREC 2016 Website: http://ldl2016.linguistic-lod.org/ Submission Deadline : February 8th 2016 Publishing language resources under open licenses and linking them together has been an area of increasing interest in academic circles, including applied linguistics, lexicography, natural language processing and information technology. It facilitates the exchange of knowledge and information across disciplines as well as between academia and the IT business. By collocating the 5th edition of the workshop series with LREC 2016, we encourage this interdisciplinary community to present and to discuss use cases, experiences, best practices, recommendations and technologies among each other and in interaction with the language resource community. We particularly invite contributions discussing the application of the Linked Open Data paradigm to linguistic data as it might provide an important step towards making linguistic data: i) easily and uniformly queryable, ii) interoperable and iii) sharable over the Web using open standards such as the HTTP protocol and the RDF data model. While it has been shown that Linked Data has significant value for the management of language resources in the Web, the practice is still far from being an accepted standard in the community. Thus, it is important that we continue to push the development and adoption of Linked Data technologies among creators of language resources. In particular, Linked Data’s ability to increase the quality, interoperability and availability of data on the Web has lead us to focus on managing, improving and using language resources on the Web as a key focus for this year’s workshop. We invite presentations of algorithms, methodologies, experiments, use cases, project proposals and position papers regarding the creation, publication or application of linguistic data collections and their linking with other resources, as well as descriptions of such data. This includes, but is not limited to, the following: * Building linked language resources** Novel vocabularies for describing linguistic objects using RDF. ** Metrics and methodologies to develop linked language resources on the Web. ** Natural language processing methods to enhance Linked Open Data. * Managing linked language resources ** Creating, maintaining and accessing language resource infrastructures based on Linked Data. ** Metadata linking and curation for language resources on the Web. ** Best practices for publication and linking of multilingual knowledge resources. * Using linked language resources ** Application of Linked Open Data for linguistics, digital humanities and natural language processing. ** Addressing challenges of scalability, multilinguality and interoperability in the Web. ** Legal, social and scientific aspects of Linguistic Linked Open Data. We invite both long (8 pages plus 2 pages of references, formatted according to the LREC guidelines) and short papers (4 pages plus 2 pages of references) representing original research, innovative approaches and resource types, use cases or in-depth discussions. Short papers may also represent project proposals, work in progress or data set descriptions. Papers will be published as part of the LREC workshop proceedings and presented as oral or poster presentations, as appropriate. Datasets ------------ We encourage submission of datasets and ask that these resources are included in the LLOD cloud (instructions can be found here). As such we require that datasets are either described in Datahub with sufficient metadata to be added to the cloud. In addition, as part of the LREC conference your resource will be described in the LRE Map and assigned an International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource.

As more of our interaction with libraries happens digitally, interfaces and tools for access have become increasingly important. An important issue for digital libraries is how to provide users with improved access to materials. We have big data -- how can we help scholars use those resources to make new discoveries in their own fields? This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that propose new access methods for digital libraries, develop technologies for analyzing holdings, and that report on innovative uses of digital libraries for discovery and exploration in science, art, and the humanities. Please consider submitting a paper, poster, demo, panel proposal, workshop proposal, or tutorial proposal and please share this with your colleagues. Important Dates: * December 20, 2015 - early submission of workshop proposals * January 10, 2016 - tutorial and workshop proposals - notification for early workshop proposals * January 17, 2016 - panel proposals - full paper, short paper, poster, and demo submissions * January 31, 2016 - notification for tutorial and workshops * March 16, 2016 - notification for full papers, short papers, panels, posters, and demos For more information (and the official calls for proposals), see http://www.jcdl2016.org/ http://www.jcdl2016.org/Call-for-Proposals _______________________________________________ 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 458FA785D; Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:05:47 +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 7B872784D; Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:05:46 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id DC0D0784F; Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:05:44 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151210080544.DC0D0784F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:05:44 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.539 faculty positions at Maryland and Pittsburgh 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: <20151210080547.3178.22406@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 539.

Hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Venue: University of Antwerp 5-7 October 2016 Keynote speakers: Paul Eggert and Kathryn Sutherland Call for Papers Deadline: 20 March 2016 As digital publications are reaching a stage of maturity and scholarly editors are becoming increasingly aware of the seemingly endless possibilities of hybrid or fully Digital Scholarly Editions, the impact of the digital medium on the field of Textual Criticism has become undeniable. As a result of this ‘digital turn’, textual scholars are now faced with new challenges and opportunities that have called for a re-evaluation of the field’s established theoretical and practical framework. For the thirteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS), organized in association with the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network ‘DiXiT’, we intend to face this new direction in textual scholarship head-on, by focussing on the recent developments in textual scholarship that are instigated by this reassessment of the theories, practices, and methods of scholarly editing in general, and of the Digital Scholarly Edition (DSE) in particular. We therefore invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations that could focus on (but should not be limited to) the following topics: Theories - The impact of the digital medium on textual scholarship - The importance of the document in scholarly editing - Facsimiles versus documents - Documents versus texts - The task of the editor of a DSE - Modelling the DSE Methods - Digitization of documents - The limits of TEI XML and alternative encoding models - Editorial interpretation in text encoding - Visualizing the encoded text - Corpus analysis - New tools for the Scholarly Edition Practices - Encoding difficulties - Interoperability - Usability studies - Copyright restrictions and their impact on the DSE - Dissemination - Standards and evaluation Abstracts of up to 300 words can be emailed to Dirk Van Hulle (dirk.vanhulle@uantwerpen.be) and Wout Dillen (wout.dillen@uantwerpen.be) before 20 March 2016. This thirteenth conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship is organized in association with the Marie Curie Initial Training Network on Digital Scholarly Editing ‘DiXiT’, and will be hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics (CMG) at the University of Antwerp. In the days leading up to the conference, the CMG will host two DiXiT workshops on digital scholarly editing. _______________________________________________ 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 B84D07876; Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:08:00 +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 0C2E4786A; Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:08:00 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0DCFA7866; Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:07:56 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151210080757.0DCFA7866@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2015 09:07:56 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.541 pubs: technology & the environment 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: <20151210080800.4353.41437@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 541.

Here is the call for papers. Please do pass it along to colleagues, students, and anyone else you think it doing relevant research! -Nathan ======== Call for Papers: Information Technology and the Environment Information technology has long played an important role in structuring relationships between humans and their environment. In recent decades, digital information and communications technologies have been heralded as the key to cutting carbon emissions through “smart” electric power grids, improved supply chain management, and other cybernetic visions. Computerized models and sensors have shaped and transformed ways of representing and intervening in the natural world, from efforts to study and manage localized eco-systems, to global climate modeling and proposals for geoengineering. While many environmentalists view computing as a key to protecting the natural environment, others have underscored the environmental damage done through global practices of mining, production, and waste disposal in the computing industry. This special issue aims to deepen understanding of the historically contingent and changing ways that information technology medicates between social and natural worlds. We invite submissions of papers that address the role of information and communications technologies in structuring human and social experience of the environment in any historical period, including the contemporary one. Information and communications technologies are broadly defined and may include non-digital and non-electronic systems. We are particularly interested in papers responding to the following questions: 1) Has the digital turn in environmental studies transformed conceptions of local and global environment, and if so how? 2) How should we weigh environmentally-friendly uses of ICT against the significant levels of natural exploitation and waste by the global ICT industry? 3) How has the late modern environmental movement influenced the production and use of information technology? Target dates To propose a paper for inclusion in the special issue, please submit a short abstract (500 words or less) to rs849@cornell.edu by January 7, 2016. Full papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two external reviewers, and will be due for review by April 30, 2016. Authors may be invited to present their research at a workshop in the summer of 2016. Final papers that are accepted for publication will be due for copyediting by December 1 2016.

Our team works on initiatives such as Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE; http://inke.ca http://inke.ca/ ), the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (http://dhsi.org http://dhsi.org/ ), Iter: Gateway to the Middle Ages and Renaissance (http://www.itergateway.org http://www.itergateway.org/ ), and beyond. Current ETCL team members pride themselves on a passionate interest in both the humanities and their digital engagement. Ideal candidates may come from a number of pertinent disciplinary backgrounds, but will share similar enthusiasm as well as be able to introduce the team to new ideas and new perspectives. Successful candidates will have skills and aptitudes in humanities- and library-oriented research and development, including training or demonstrated experience creating or working with a variety of resources such as digital archives, scholarly editions, journals and monographs, social media, and text analysis and visualization tools in an open access and open source environment. Organizational skills and proficiency in current developmental technologies are essential. Interest and aptitude in research planning and management would be an asset. The ability to work in concert with our existing team is a critical requirement. Postdoctoral Fellowships (2016-17) include salary that is competitive in the Canadian context, governed in part by SSHRC practices. Postdocs will join the existing work of our team. Positions are available as early as April 2016, for a one-year term with the possibility of renewal. Visiting Postdoctoral Fellowships (2016-) are available to those already holding external fellowships and positions in 2016-17 and 2017-18 with aligned programs of research, and may be assumed for an academic term or longer. Applications comprising a brief cover letter, CV including list of projects and developmental roles, and the names and contact information for three referees may be sent electronically to Daniel Sondheim, ETCL Assistant Director, at etcl /at/uvic/dot/ca. Interviews may be conducted via Skype or in person, in Victoria or other venues as feasible. Of note: ETCL members will be at MLA 2016 and available for discussion there; if this is of interest to you, please indicate this in your cover letter. Review of applications begin 31 January and will continue until positions are filled. The position is subject to funding and budgetary approval. _______________________________________________ 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 46937787A; Fri, 11 Dec 2015 09:33:13 +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 7F1077867; Fri, 11 Dec 2015 09:33:12 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id ADDA17866; Fri, 11 Dec 2015 09:33:09 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151211083309.ADDA17866@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 09:33:09 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.544 pubs: DHQ deadline; The Digital Humanist; Ada's Legacy 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: <20151211083312.16199.30063@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 544.

The book is edited by me and my colleague at Stevens, Robin Hammerman, and features chapters by scholars from disciplines such history (including CBI's Tom Misa), literature, art, Internet studies, and more. Misa’s chapter might be of particular interest for those who think that the claim that Ada was the “world’s first programmer” deserves some scrutiny, context, and a more nuanced interpretation of Ada’s accomplishments. Here is the blurb: Ada's Legacy illustrates the depth and diversity of writers, thinkers, and makers who have been inspired by Ada Lovelace, the English mathematician and writer. The volume, which commemorates the bicentennial of Ada's birth in December 1815, celebrates Lovelace's many achievements as well as the impact of her life and work, which reverberated widely since the late nineteenth century. In the 21st century we have seen a resurgence in Lovelace scholarship, thanks to the growth of interdisciplinary thinking and the expanding influence of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Ada's Legacy is a unique contribution to this scholarship, thanks to its combination of papers on Ada's collaboration with Charles Babbage, Ada's position in the Victorian and Steampunk literary genres, Ada's representation in and inspiration of contemporary art and comics, and Ada's continued relevance in discussions around gender and technology in the digital age. With the 200th anniversary of Ada Lovelace's birth on December 10, 2015, we believe that the timing is perfect to publish this collection of papers. Because of its broad focus on subjects that reach far beyond the life and work of Ada herself, Ada's Legacy will appeal to readers who are curious about Ada's enduring importance in computing and the wider world. Here is the url to order the book from M&C: http://www.morganclaypoolpublishers.com/catalog_Orig/product_info.php?products_id=859 Here are some sample pages (front matter and intro): http://arussell.org/papers/Ada.pdf Finally, if you happen to find yourself in Oxford today (right now!) at the Lovelace Symposium, please find Robin Hammerman to get a copy of the book and an Ada t-shirt :) Happy birthday Ada!!

It is a thoroughly revised edition, now translated, of L’umanista digitale (il Mulino, 2010). It counterbalances the anglo-american dominance of the field. It offers "a critical introduction to the core technologies underlying the Internet from a humanistic perspective. It provides a cultural critique of computing technologies, by exploring the history of computing and by examining issues related to writing, representing, archiving and searching. The book raises awareness of, and calls for, the digital humanities to address the challenges posed by the linguistic and cultural divides in computing, the clash between communication and control, and the biases inherent in networked technologies”.

It also means the photograph takes its place with text and voice as central to contemporary human communication and as an aspect of sociality. All of this should be welcomed by anthropologists, since as the photograph moves to the centre stage of everyday life, it also provides new possibilities for anthropological study. But first we need to acknowledge what is happening. Photography in the Age of Snapchat by Prof Daniel Miller is the first pamphlet in the Anthropology and Photography series. The series comes from the Royal Anthropological Institute's Anthropology and Photography Conference in 2014. The event is free, but tickets must be booked.

This conference represents an opportunity to explore the uncertain future of literary archival sources in the present age. While information technology is changing rapidly and bringing new possibilities for the democratisation of knowledge, debates remain about intellectual property, ownership and access rights to individual archives. Uneven investment in knowledge institutions contributes to a complicated understanding of how archival values can be realised – as commercial, cultural, national, global – and of how the ethics of preservation and rescue can be addressed in the face of climatic and ideological threats. Plenary Speaker: Trudy Huskamp Peterson The conference is an invitation to consider: • the values of literary archives to different stakeholders – including archivists, researchers, agents, authors, publishers and estates • the urgent questions about digital and material preservation • the ethical and political dimensions of location and access • archives in translation • the shape of future archives • the threat to endangered/precarious archives and the possibilities for collective action • archives, languages and globalisation • historical perspectives • teaching with archives Proposals for 20 minute papers [250 words max] or 3 paper panels should be sent to a.j.donnell@reading.ac.uk by 5 January 2015 Alison Donnell Professor of Modern Literatures in English, Head of School of Literature and Languages Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Reading, Whiteknights, PO Box 218, Reading, Berkshire RG6 6AA +44 (0)118 378 7837 https://www.reading.ac.uk/english-literature/aboutus/Staff/a-j-donnell.aspx Diasporic Archives: Leverhulme International Network www.diasporicarchives.com http://www.diasporicarchives.com/ Director, Wasafiri magazine http://www.wasafiri.org http://www.wasafiri.org/ Dr Nicola Wilson Lecturer in Book and Publishing Studies Department of English Literature University of Reading 0118 3788360 Home in British Working-Class Fiction (Ashgate, 2015) http://www.ashgate.com/isbn/9781409432425 *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1449842221_2015-12-11_n.l.wilson@reading.ac.uk_5595.2.pdf --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 19:01:14 +0000 (GMT) From: Robert Karachuk Subject: Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents Welcomes Applications for 2016 The Association for Documentary Editing (ADE) welcomes applications for the 45th Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents, to be held 31 July -- 4 August 2016 at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents is an annual five-day workshop for individuals new to the field of historical documentary editing. With the needs of the participants as a guide, experienced documentary editors provide instruction in the principles and practices of documentary editing and insight into the realities of work on a documentary edition. Documentary editing is the craft of preparing historical writings for publication in print or online. The goal is to produce an authoritative edition of the material, with an accurate transcription of the original manuscript and an editorial framework that facilitates understanding of the text and context. Participants in the Editing Institute might be joining the staff of an existing documentary editing project or launching their own. Since its inception in 1972, the Editing Institute has trained more than 500 individuals. These include not only full-time documentary editors but also college and university faculty and graduate students, archivists and librarians, government historians, public historians, and independent scholars. The 45th Editing Institute will take place in conjunction with the 2016 ADE Annual Meeting, which will be held immediately following the Editing Institute, 4 August, also at the Astor Crowne Plaza Hotel in New Orleans. The Editing Institute charges no tuition, and travel stipends will be provided to eligible participants living outside the New Orleans area. Admission, however, is competitive. The deadline for applications is 1 February 2016. For an application or more information, please e-mail Bob Karachuk, ADE Education Director, ade-educationdir@documentaryediting.org. The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents is administered by the Association for Documentary Editing under a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), an affiliate of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 11 Dec 2015 16:55:18 +0000 From: "Wandl-Vogt, Eveline" Subject: CFP: CCURL 2016 @ LREC lb kolleg.innen, dear colleagues, i am happy to announce the second workshop on collaboration and computing for under-resourced languages "towards an alliance for digital language diversity" held @ LREC (http://lrec2016.lrec-conf.org/en/) in portoroz / SI on may, 23rd 2016. main topics: 1) digital infrastructures 2) language resources and technologies research and development with focus on use and usability of minority languages in social media 3) domain-specific resources and applications 4) policies, guidelines and best practices 5) advocacy and digital language planning 6) new methods towards digital language diversity, including semantic web technologies as well as open data and free/open-source and other open innovation approaches, such as open science commons 7) significance and implications of digital language diversity for the internet of things further info: c.f. http://www.ilc.cnr.it/ccurl2016/call-for-papers.htm on behalf the organising committee i warmly welcome you to join in, exchange expertise and visions and make new friends! enjoy your day @ work: eveline wandl-vogt *** österreichische akademie der wissenschaften (ÖAW) [austrian academy of sciences] | 1040 wien.

Let me vouch for the vibrancy of digital humanities in the LAIC department. The chair Jesus Rodriguez Velasco is doing fantastic work to raise the profile of the department along these lines. I work often with him and Susanna Allés, who some of you may know. If you also remember from an email I sent a while back, we are also looking for a Digital Humanities Developer to work in my team, The Humanities and History Division, at the library. We are still interviewing for that position. Ping me directly if you want to hear more about that one.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:30:22 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: faking it or revealing it? In the mid 1990s, in his book Claiming the Real: The Griersonian Documentary and its Legitimations (British Film Institute) Brian Winston could write about photography and cinema that, "Absolute undetectability, for the first time, is undermining the mimetic power of all photographic processes" (p. 6). Even then, twenty years ago, simulation in many of the sciences had long been the means by which research was done and by which it succeeded, e.g. in the making of the thermonuclear bomb. As Peter Galison wrote, bit by bit, byte by byte, the computer became the nature that we study. This process has a very long history (or pre-history, if you wish) in analogical reasoning, which has come to our aid since before philosophy began, whenever our minds would reach to something, such as the stars, or the origins of the cosmos, but our empirical tools cannot. Because it is a reach of mind, a kind of disciplined imagination, unease, even crises of rationality, have followed analogy wherever it has surfaced. In recent times archaeologists, for example, have been very uneasy indeed over the uncertainty of analogical reasoning, or because of "the paralyzing demand for certainty", as Alison Wylie insists in her magnificent book, Thinking from Things: Essays in the Philosophy of Archaeology (2002), esp in her included essay, "The Reaction Against Analogy". Consider that archaeology works with material objects but attempts with them analogically to understand how they were used by people long dead in cultures long gone. What a leap! As one despairing archaeologist wrote in the 1950s, "the more human, the less intelligible". And now the literary folk. Work with big textual data is often clothed in the rhetoric of revelation. Once we were lost, thinking that a handful (ok, a generous handful) of canonical 19C novels could lead us by reading them closely to understanding of the novel. Now we have found that with collections of literary Big Data we can abandon the foolishness of close reading to see in numbers and charts how the rejected and despised majority of novels give us a truer picture. Once again analogical reasoning, through statistical modelling, interpenetrates throughout. It's not quite that we are making it all up, and certainly not that we are wasting our time (unless we fail to be critical about the processes and results) but neither are we seeing at last the one true picture. Perhaps we need to stress again, to ourselves as well as to our students, that "evidence" is what argument does to data to make it meaningful? Comments?

We would be indebted if you could tell us your opinion of these via the survey link, below. best Melissa > From: Merisa Ariel Martinez > Subject: Survey on opinions of Orphan Works Registration Schemes > Date: 15 December 2015 12:50:17 GMT Dear colleagues, I am conducting research with Professor Melissa Terras of University College London on the current provision of Orphan Works registration schemes and how they have been implemented. An 'Orphan Work' is one whose copyright holder cannot be located, but which is still in copyright ( based on its publication/creation date). Recent legislation (Directive 2012/28/EU) passed in 2012 and enacted in late 2014 has led to the development of Orphan Works Registries in the UK and the EU. We would appreciate if you could answer some survey questions to help us in our research. This survey covers the UK registry, but may still be of value to respondents living and working in the EU or elsewhere, as the UK registry requires any Orphan Work which may have an as-yet-unidenfitied UK copyright holder to be registered and licensed in order to be legally viewed, displayed, replicated or incorporated digitally on websites accessible to the public in the United Kingdom. In other words, if you have an orphan work in your institution or incorporated into one of your digital projects, and you are not sure if it is either a) still in copyright or b) may have a UK copyright holder, you may be liable to register this work with the UK licensing scheme (and will need to provide evidence that you performed a diligent search for any possible known copyright holders). The survey is available at the following web address: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/OrphanWorksSurvey and, depending on your answers and level of familiarity with the UK scheme, may take about 20 minutes to complete. We would appreciate your insights into the current handling of Orphan Work registration schemes, even if you/your institution have chosen not to use them. The survey will be active until the end of January. In January, we will be conducting follow-up phone/skype/in-person interviews with a small selection of people who have filled out the survey. If you are interested in being one of the people we contact for a follow-up interview, please indicate this at the end of the survey. Thank you so much in advance for filling out this survey. If you would be so kind as to spread this survey widely throughout your social media networks and list servs, we would appreciate it!

This is an open invitation for them to take it up. Again I quote from Brian Winston's Claiming the Real: The Documentary Film Revisited (1995), from the concluding chapter whose title is my subject-line: > Unlike the challenge posed by postmodernism, the challenge of > digitalisation cannot be resisted. Digitalisation destroys the > photographic image as evidence of anything except the process of > digitalisation. The physicality of the plastic material represented > in any photographic image can no longer be guaranteed. For the > documentary to survive the widespread diffusion of such technology > depends on removing its claim to the real. There is no alternative. (p 259) Of course one can quibble in the usual way, e.g. by pointing out that chemical photography involved transforming processes, and that the photographer could interfere in several ways (adjustment of the camera, treatment of the projected image with the enlarger, time in the developer etc.), but the scale of the difference made by the level and artificial intelligence of the digital processes which now intervene, including those directly manipulated by the photographer, is hugely different. Scale, like size, matters very much indeed. My question is how the above (let us now take it as given) translates into the various scholarly applications of the technologies we use. One where the intervention of digital processing is especially significant is simulation (a.k.a. modelling turned loose). Because the result is evidence of nothing except the process of digital simulation (true? false?), are not claims on the real made by those who simulate at least partially misleading? Where this leads, I think, is to the question of what our tools are for. Surely not proving anything, ever. Comments?

But fact is always made-up reality. For the first time in history, photography seemed to deliver an objective physical reality beyond compare, because photographs are always transporting details that are beyond the photographer's capacity to control his photographic output (the "Blow up"-phenomenon). A revelatory act indeed! Yet whoever has worked with historical prints will know that there is no such thing as an unchanging, permanent photographic impression. Organic materials like egg-white and gelatin were used to fix the image. When you are sharing company with those archival materials for some time, you can watch how these negatives and prints will change through time. Digitization may stop or slow-down the process of aging, if we can protect our storage devices from the interference of magnetic storms. Even the first photographs were not culture-free, as I have shown in my dissertation, despite all scientific claims to their objectivity or "physical reality." The non-European subjects of anthropological photography were very much aware that they were acting a part in a European play. On the other hand, non-European photographers from a "frameless" aesthetic tradition like China and Japan recognized the angularity of the photographic format as something following foreign standards. I once showed a photographic assemblage with a glued-up pumpkin kernel to a Hopi Indian who tried to remove the kernel, as, to him, it did not seem to belong to a picture. What will change through digitization or digitalisation, if both can be kept apart (there is only one word for both in German)? Grierson's documentary film genre as the traditional guarantor of objective reality has already changed, less because of docudramas as enactments of social reality, but even more so due to the ubiquity of the photographic medium implemented in telephonic devices. Documentary reality has become grounded as human action, the act of the presentation of reality. This is a healthy development, I would think, as it makes our minds free to ask ourselves which games we would like to play -- where is the Shakespeare of the Digital Age? And who is telling us what is relevant information and what is a fake or worse a manipulation of our sensory input and cognitive evaluation? And who is saving "the evidence" for posterity? If we fail to solve these questions, very soon we will be surrounded by digital reality only and without the material capacity and resources to live our organic lives. A long time ago, I was sitting in the grass of the South Dakota plains. John Fire Lame Deer was waking up from his midday nap, leaning against the wheel of a dusty station wagon. He slowly opened his eyes, taking a deep breath, and said: "The White Man has only dreams. We Indians have a vision." Perhaps some truths will never change, no matter how much information you gather.

Lorna Roth, for example, has explored how historical decisions in the development of emulsion chemistry made Kodak film unusable for subjects with dark skin: http://www.cjc-online.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/2196 But to your main question: When it comes to historical simulation, or even simple descriptive analyses of any kind of structured information, I like to remind myself and my audience that all we are doing is generating one *potential* image/measurement/model of what could have occurred in the past to produce the extant evidence we work with today. (In the case of stochastic simulations, one might say we produce a *range* of potential pasts). Making claims for potential pasts is all that historians have ever done, so I have found that establishing this framework of "potentiality" helps to defuse misunderstandings about truth claims. Moreover historical simulations are useful precisely because they *are* tied to extant historical evidence. Start conditions for a simulation may be based on evidence (e.g. this historical network had this many participants spread across this many countries), and evaluation of the simulation is likewise tied to that same evidence (e.g., does my historical explanation - expressed via certain procedural rules - reproduce the same network configuration that I observed from the extant evidence?)

The fact that this lead to a scandal of dimensions yet unheard of (and ultimately might lead to the crushing of one of the world's leading automakers) does make this a watershed event also in the public eye, which can hardly be ignored from now on. While the testing of material devices, for example light bulbs, but even complicated things such as combustion engines is straightforward in the sense that procedures devised for the testing should lead to predictable results also in the daily operations in the wild, the introduction of software as an intermediate agency of controlling the device leads to a situation where the context of the testing itself can, and as has been shown is in fact, detected by the software program and alters the outcome. So to me, it is not just digital imagery, but the introduction of software processing itself into the picture that can be seen as the ultimate cause for this fall from grace. For some applications, such as the modelling you mention, there might be a way out by providing a complete audit trail, including the source code of the programs involved, but it seems difficult to see how this would be feasible in the general case. What I find even more surprising than (the loss of) this "innocent arrogance" is that we still widely use (digital!) images for documenting purposes for news reports in digital and printed media and implicitly trust them to be a faithful representation of the event reported. The cultural habit of trusting the visual presentation seems to have a hard time to adjust to these new realities. All the best, Christian Wittern, Kyoto _______________________________________________ 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=-1.7 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, NUMERIC_HTTP_ADDR,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 700657977; Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:18:23 +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 24646794D; Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:18:22 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 35F88794F; Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:18:19 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20151217061819.35F88794F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2015 07:18:19 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.558 academic positions at LINHD (Madrid); asst prof at Winthrop 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: <20151217061822.29359.59061@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 558.

Subject: Asiascape: Digital Asia -- open-access to first two volumes Dear colleagues, Apologies for cross-posting, but list members interested in digital media and Asia may find the following useful: the first two volumes of our academic journal Asiascape: Digital Asia are currently available online, open-access, upon registration with the publisher Brill (see instructions on the web page). Asiascape: Digital Asia is a peer-reviewed academic journal that explores the political, social, and cultural impact of digital media in Asia. Recent articles include contributions by authors such as Prasenjit Duara (on area studies in the anthropocene), Chris Goto-Jones (on gamic orientalism), Larissa Hjorth (on mobile media in South Korea), Thomas Lamarre (on affective media geographies in East Asia), John Postill (on internet activism in Malaysia), and many more. The open access offer is available until 31 December. Beyond this, individual authors will of course continue to benefit from Brill’s green publishing policy, allowing them to share their contributions on their personal websites. Finally, a reminder that Asiascape: Digital Asia welcomes submissions all-year-round from inter- and multi-disciplinary scholars in the area studies, arts and humanities, communication and media studies, information and computer sciences, and social sciences. The journal’s focus lies specifically with the role that information, communication, and digital technologies play in Asian societies, as well as in intra-regional and transnational dynamics. Prospective contributors may find this introductory video to the journal helpful and are welcome to contact the managing editor (Florian Schneider , Leiden University) or the reviews editor (Martin Roth http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~japan/cms/?id=62 , Leipzig University) for more information.

Without (appropriate) hardware software does nothing. This is basically what we know about the VW cheating. "... We know that Volkswagen's on-board software used information from the steering, brakes and accelerator to detect when one of its diesel cars was on a "treadmill" undergoing an emissions test and tweak the engine settings to minimise nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels. On the open road, NOx emissions were up to 35 times higher." (See note 1.) If modern cars didn't have all the electronics, including various sensors in their steering, brake, and accelerator (sub)systems that they do today, the "VW software" would not have been able to check for the car (probably) being on a test treadmill. Yes, the cheating was done by doing (bad) things to the software component of these VW car systems, but exactly the same could have been achieved by doing this cheating in an ASIC (see note 2), which is a purely hardware device. Anything and everything that can be done in software can be done in hardware. It's just not nearly as convenient, usually. The difference is an important engineering consideration, not one that depends upon the physics of the way the world works: hardware and software are not different Natural kinds. The Lorna Roth article, that Matt Lincoln well points us too, further undermines your desire to "pin all the blame on software." Roth's example is, of course, by no means the only kind of "manipulation of facts" resulting from the chemistry of analogue photography. And the optics of the camera does its own kind of "manipulation" too. Any and all image capture techniques have their particular qualities and characteristics. There can be no "true photographs," emulsion based or digital or anything else. There are no facts, just ways of studying and investigating the world, past, present, possible, and future. What counts in all this is not, I would say, in what lies the truth of it all, but rather the reliability and robustness of the knowledge and understanding we collectively build using our various ways and means of study and investigation. Best regards, Tim Note 1 : How did Volkswagen cheat in tests and can it fix affected cars?

I saw him manipulate photographs from the get-go (with fingers in the developer and fixer, no gloves -- this was the 50s). He never put anything into an image that had not been before the camera, but he did shadow with his hands during the few seconds of exposure with the enlarger and judge how long to leave a print in the developer etc. But the scale of difference in manipulatory power made by digital processing, the artificial intelligence of it, and the level at which it works, are so great that we can talk sensibly *as if* chemical photography were factual and *as if* digital photography opened the door to fiction. What counts in my view is the period of change. Peter Galison began his work toward the book he did with Lorraine Daston, Objectivity (2007), with the much earlier essay, "Objectivity is Romantic" (http://archives.acls.org/op/op47-3.htm), where he discusses the reconstruction of the idea of objectivity in scientific and medical illustration. So, yes indeed, the factual nature of chemical photography was an invention; photography was, as the philosophers say, naturalised. But still. The change cannot, I think, be denied. Perhaps it would be better to say that digital imaging reminds us powerfully that facts (as the etymology of the word tells us) have been made and so are not absolutely a different kind from fictions. But we do have two words, not one. As Raymond Williams wrote in Television: Technology and Cultural Form (1974) about another such change, we live in a precious moment when the invention of a technology is still new enough that we can still see it as invented, and so have an opportunity to study the fictionalizing in process and see a time before it was invisibly factual. (The first chapter of Williams' book I'd have everyone who is afflicted by technological determinism memorise.) But that study would be meaningless if we could not see that a huge difference has been made. Again, scale matters.

One of our goals is to curate and maintain a corpus encoded in such a way that broader analyses can be carried out in the future. As you can imagine, it is difficult to know before hand all possible metadata, since it is an evolving process. I have in the past worked with TEI for literary works, and although it is not intended for source code, it offers good ideas for what we want to do. One of my goals in the context of our group is to advance the notion that original sources (programming code in our case) are essential for preservation, research, and dissemination. I want to give the perspective that scholars or folks in digital humanities give to literary texts. If anyone has suggestions, please contact me.

As a range of new media are integrated in art works, these creative objects are becoming increasingly complex and vulnerable due to dependence on many technical and contextual factors. However, no archival best practices yet exist for accessing and preserving complex born-digital materials. In 2013, Cornell University Library received a 2-year research and development grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to design a framework for preserving access to digital art objects. We are pleased to announce the publication of a white paper that describes the project's findings, discoveries, and challenges: http://hdl.handle.net/1813/41368 Recognizing that we must develop a framework that addresses the needs of future as well as current media art researchers, we developed a survey targeting researcher, artists, and curators to expand our understanding of user profiles and use cases. Based on findings and insights gained, we investigated emulation as an access strategy. Although the initiative focused on new media art, we hope that our methodologies and findings will inform other types of complex born-digital collections as well. We welcome your questions and comments. Best regards, Oya On behalf of the project team Oya Y.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 08:41:39 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: solstitial darkness and Christmas cheer Dear colleagues, Since 1987, with a brief hiatus (when Humanist was Canadian) I've sent a message at this time of year on behalf of us all to wish all of us the best of the solstice, the winter one for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer for those of us in the Southern. A few here will not need to be told the brief history of these notes, but the great majority will by this point in the reading of this one, I hope, no longer be puzzled. To invoke something the British do supremely well, this was once for everyone a cozy message from the cold and dark of the solstice to others enjoying the same conditions. But now we are much more numerous and widely scattered, some celebrating the time of year in the heat of Christmas, even on the beach. (I recall the shock when, reading Kate Grenville's The Idea of Perfection for the first time, encountering that phrase, "the heat of Christmas"; it has stood the test of time as for me the marker of difference such global distance makes. Distance that, I hope, this and other postings from Humanist partially overcome.) Then, too, Humanist was the only means of the few in digital humanities to communicate with each other. Now there are many ways, most of which (to show my age and inclinations) I have only heard of and determinedly not exercised. In spite of those many ways Humanist continues to grow. We have, I think, spent far too much energy arguing over what to call the field that Humanist was created to serve. I don't think, however, that anyone has yet reflected on the great flexibility of the current term, "digital humanities", which can be both singular and plural. "Humanities computing" had the advantage of being rather more obviously (as one Australian immigration officer, curious about what I did for a living, remarked humorously to me) an oxymoron. I remain convinced that our discipline is built on a fruitful contradiction, which is to say that its genius is kept alive by the via negativa of algorithmic reasoning -- hence as some wisely insist, the necessity to have or to have had one's hands into coding. But the stubbornness of "digital humanities" in reminding us of the simultaneous unity and diversity of the field is indeed also a great gift. Forgive the philological musings. A brief time in childhood and a longer in parenthood have schooled me to put and find gifts under a tree at this time of year, to participate in a wrapping up and unwrapping and to go on celebrating as long as possible. So here we are. In one of the following messages, for example, will be an announcement of research associate positions in the Digital Humanities Research Group at Western Sydney University. And more quietly, unannounced here, are other signs of vigorous growth of digital humanities in Australia. The field grows everywhere it has been planted. Major branches are pushing out. Diversity is insistent. I find the biological metaphor useful, since for one thing it reminds us that life is insistent, finding a way in stony ground (as it was in 1987 for anyone humanist associated with computing). But in the cultural arena of disciplines the metaphor can mislead us into thinking that this disciplinary growth happens all by itself, independent of what we do, and that just isn't so. Diversity must be insisted on, helped, guided. In Chance and Necessity geneticist Jacques Monod brilliantly works out an elegant mechanism for life, describing three major properties: teleonomy (orientation to an end), autonomous morphogenesis (generation of new forms) and reproductive invariance (preservation of a specific structural standard), or in the terms of this note, the future we desire, the diversity we insist on through disagreement and political initiatives and the unity we must struggle to maintain. This, it seems, is an age when diversity, even incommensurable separateness dominates the attention. It's a counterbalancing, of course. But when it takes the form of the revolutionary, catastrophic "post-" malady, which identifies a radical turning point and denies historical continuities, we must put weight in the opposite pan. For the moment at least the imperative, I'd think, is to recover and exhibit those continuities, that unity. Isn't this what Christmas and other solstitial holidays can accomplish? So, chucking off the moralizing, allow me in a celebratory spirit, without politics, to wish you a happy time and a very fine New Year -- in May the start of Humanist's 31st!

The successful applicant will work on a sub-project lasting 24 months entitled: "The Illegal Book Trade Revisited"™. The role will involve in interpreting, recording and analysing a wide range of statistical materials on the illegal book trade; editing and standardisation of digital research data; and taxonomic classification of books. The successful applicant will participate in the project’s programme of workshops, symposia and international conferences, both in speaking and organisational roles. They will also contribute to the publication of digital and traditional research outputs. These will include both individual and team outputs. There is a possibility of a relocation package as per the university’s relocation policy.

The conference will host workshops, roundtable discussions, panels, performancs, and presentations of papers. We invite scholars, artists, writers, programmers, (game) developers, practitioners, designers, etc. to participate in what we hope to be an extraordinary event. Quick Info: --------------- • Conference website: https://poeticsofthealgorithm.wordpress.com/ • Contact email: acme.bdresearch@gmail.com • Deadline for proposals (500 words): Jan 11, 2016 Description --------------- It seems that narrative today is undergoing a radical change in its ‘source code.’ New technologies are changing the way texts are produced, distributed, viewed and read. The conference Poetics of the Algorithm intends to chart the implications of this shift. What does it mean that through digital technologies we can now experience on the surface of a single (touch) screen previously distinct media, artefacts and events such as literature in codex form, comic books, exhibitions, films, photographs, visual art and so on? Has medium-specificity become an obsolete notion given that binary code and algorithms seem to bypass material constraints? The phenomenon of adapting/remediating ‘low tech’ works into digital format is instructive in this regard. Already an unconventional graphic narrative in codex form, Richard McGuire’s Here for example was adapted into a so-called “enhanced edition” for the iPad. Does the notion of ‘enhancement’entail that the hardback version is in some way inferior? Speaking of the app-version of Here, what does it mean that the simulation of travel in ‘deep time’ no longer proceeds from turning the page but from touching the screen, zooming, and pinching? Does the meaning change after a graphic novel in book format has been translated into an application for digital devices? How is the creation of the work impacted, as a work by a single author is transformed into a collaborative project with software designers and a team of coders? Next to mastery of his or her craft, must the artist also be‘code-literate’ today to matter? Furthermore, this shift also pertains to the ‘system requirements’ of the reader-participant of digital media. Indeed, is touch—with the gestural protocols of swiping, pinching, and zooming—a radically new paradigm revising what is narratable, visible, and performable, making the world an unfamiliar place again after having lived in a world that could be ‘read like a book’? What new habits of thought and bodily engagement are brought into being? These questions immediately bring us to the politics of post-media poetics, an issue the conference will also raise. How to think constructively about the relation between the backbreaking, (often neo-colonial) exploitative labour that makes western new media possible and our shiny new hardware so hostile to dirt and dust? Can modes of ‘slow,’ ‘grimy,’ ‘artisanal’ cultural production ('old school' book art, lettering, the smears of paint, the woodcut, etc.) be read as critiques of our digitized, supposedly ‘accelerationist’ epoch, and/or are they symptoms of post-media nostalgia? Lastly, if the material configuration of literature, comics, art, and other media are shifting, how should this be reflected in our methodology? Should research, critique and scholarship aspire to become a multi-media experience? What are adequate forms for the digital humanities to respond to these challenges? These are but some of the questions the conference will raise. Additional areas include, but are not limited to: • Intermediality, transmediality, remediation, media archeology • The notion of the author vs new media creation as a collaborative production, or delegation (‘outsourcing’) from author to digital production team • Gaming, comics and narrative • Digital comics, digital experiments with the language of comics, web-comics • interactive literature • Memes as (anti-)narrative • From Being-in-the-world to Being-with-Siri/Cortana • Smooth screens or rough textures: drawing on tablets, or drawing on paper, with pen, ink, paint • ‘Old media’ in times of high-tech algorithmic hyper-capitalism • The art of coding, coding art • Database and narrative logics • Internet and the digital archive • Phenomenology of the digital • Modes of narration: Point-and-click, scrolling, touch, gestures narration • Poetics and emerging conventions and genres in digital media storytelling • The line between gaming, the ‘app-novel’, interactive fiction • As of yet ‘unidentified’ highly experimental media • Media literacy, illiteracy • Capitalism, new media, political economy • Media obsolescence, garbage, electronic debris, lost codes • Dirt and the machine, malfunctions, glitches, static, noise, tactics, hacks • Digital avant-gardes • Art, autonomy and the app-store • Media art (history) • The coder-researcher, new research practices, ‘minor’ data-humanities in Big Data • … Submissions: --------------- Please send abstracts (500 words maximum) by 11 January to acme.bdresearch@gmail.com We are greatly looking forward to your proposals.

La conférence accueillera des communications ainsi que des tables-rondes, ateliers et panels. Nous invitons à participer des chercheurs aussi bien que des artistes, auteurs, programmeurs, développeurs, praticiens, designers, etc. Description Le « code-source » du récit et de nos manières de raconter est depuis quelques années l’objet d’un changement radical. Les nouvelles technologies transforment la manière dont les textes sont produits, distribués, lus et vus. Le colloque Poétiques de l’algorithme propose de documenter les conséquences d’un tel changement. Des artefacts et des évènements tels que de la littérature au format codex, des albums de bandes dessinées, des expositions, des films, des photographies, voire l’art plastique se retrouvent désormais à portée d’un même écran (tactile). Comment les technologiques numériques ont-elles transformé des médias auparavant perçus comme distincts ? La notion de spécificité médiatique serait-elle devenue obsolète depuis que le code binaire et les algorithmes permettent de contourner ces contraintes matérielles ? Le phénomène d’adaptation ou de remédiation d’œuvres low tech vers le format numérique en dit déjà long à ce sujet. Une bande dessinée déjà peu conventionnelle sous format papier, Here de Richard McGuire, fut par exemple adapté dans une version dite « améliorée » pour tablette. Est-ce que l’idée d’« amélioration » implique que la version papier est inférieure d’une manière ou d’une autre ? Et en regardant la version numérique de Here, quels changements cette conversion implique-t-elle pour la simulation d’un voyage dans les abysses du « temps profond », qui ne s’opère plus en tournant la page mais en touchant, zoomant et balayant l’écran des doigts ? La transpositiondu format livresque en application numérique affecte-elle la signification du roman graphique ? Comment la création de l’œuvre elle-est touchée par ce changement, puisque le travail d’un seul auteur devient celui d’un projet collaboratif impliquant des concepteurs de logiciel, des codeurs et des programmeurs ? Outre la maîtrise de son métier, l’artiste doit-il aujourd’hui être capable de lire et de traiter du code informatique ? De plus, ce changement participe aussi de la modification de l’attitude du consommateur de médias numériques, par rapport à un lecteur classique plus passif. En effet, est-ce que le toucher et les protocoles gestuels tels que le zoom, le pinch et le balayage entraînent un paradigme radicalement nouveau, transformant le visible et le dicible, refaisant du monde un lieu étrange et méconnaissable ? Quelles sont les nouvelles habitudes physiques et cognitives qui émergent dans un tel contexte ? Ces questions nous mènent directement à la politique d’une poétique post-média, un des axes principaux de cette conférence. Comment penser de façon constructive la relation entre l'exploitation économique (souvent néocoloniale) qui rend possible l'existence de ces nouveaux médias et leurs beaux matériaux brillants qui semblent justement être réfractaires au déchet et à la crasse ? Les modes de production lents, sales et artisanaux (typographie, livres d'artiste, taches de peinture, gravure, etc.) peuvent-ils être lus comme des critiques d’une ère numérique supposée accélérationniste, ou bien s’agit-il de symptômes d’une nostalgie post-média ? Enfin, si la configuration matérielle de la littérature, de la bande dessinée, de l’art et d’autres médias est en train de changer, comment ce changement devrait-il se répercuter dans notre approche méthodologique ? Est-ce que la recherche et la critique devraient aspirer à une existence multi-média ? Comment les humanités numériques peuvent-elles répondre à ces défis ? Il ne s’agit là que d’une poignée de questions que le colloque espère soulever. D’autres pistes à explorer incluent, mais ne sont pas limitées à : • Intermedialité, transmedialité, remédiation, archéologie des médias • La notion d’auteur vs. la création numérique comme production collaborative, ou la délégation de l’auteur à une équipe de production (« outsourcing ») • Jeu vidéo, bande dessinée et narration • Bande dessinée numérique, expérimentations numériques avec le langage de la bande dessinées, webcomics • Littérature interactive • L’(anti)-narration des mèmes • L’être-au-monde vs. l’être-avec-Siri/Cortana • Écrans plats ou textures rugueuses : dessiner sur tablette et dessiner sur papier avec plume, encre, et peinture • Médias ‘obsolètes’ à l’ère d’un hyper-capitalisme algorithmique • L’art de coder et faire de l’art avec du code • Logiques (non)-séquentielles : narration et structure en bases de données • Internet et archives numériques • Phénoménologie du numérique • Gestuelles du récit numérique : point-and-click, scrolling, touch • Poétiques, conventions et genres de la narration numérique • Frontière entre jeu vidéo, app-novel et narration interactive • Médias expérimentaux ‘non-identifiés’ • Capitalisme et nouveaux médias ; économie politique • L’obsolescence médiatique, déchet, débris électroniques, codes perdus • Saleté et technologie : pannes, bugs, déformations, bruit, piratage • Les avant-gardes numériques • Art, autonomie et l’app-store • Le chercheur-codeur, nouvelles pratiques de recherche, big data et humanités numériques • … Modalités de soumission des communications --------------------------------------------- Les propositions de communication (500 mots maximum) devront nous être adressées à l’adresse suivante: acme.bdresearch@gmail.com Vous pouvez trouver plus d'informations sur le site web de la conférence website et n'hésitez pas à prendre contact avec nous pour toute information supplémentaire.

Digital libraries and Web Archives provide a fast growing number of data sets and data bases with metadata and standardized interfaces. From single collection to huge libraries like the Internet Archive "Big Data" is not a metaphor but a reality. To explore the richness of data in libraries and archives is one major task in the area of Digital Humanities. Libraries and archives are digital humanities engines to unlock the treasures with new computer-based approaches. We invite digital humanists from all walks of academic life to show in detail how to make use of the richness of libraries and archives and apply for the digital humanities track at the upcoming 20th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries "Overcoming the Limits of Digital Archives". The following topics are of interest, but are not limited to: - Building corpora out of libraries or archives - Exploring the semantic of collections - Making use of data mining techniques based on data of libraries and archives - Information extraction for digital humanities - Ontologies building and usage (including named entity recognition, GND etc.) - The value of metadata for scholarly research - Visualisation of primary and secondary sources data from DLs for DH research - Impact and value of digital libraries in humanities research and teaching - Methodological aspects of developing DLs for scholarly use Submissions and TPDL Proceedings -------------------------------- The Digital Humanities track of the TPDL 2016 invites submissions full-papers (12 pages) and short-papers (6 pages). The papers accepted for the specialized track will be published in the regular TPDL Proceedings. Therefore all submissions should conform to the formatting instructions described in the "For Authors" section of the TPDL 2016 website. According to the TPDL 2016 rules, inclusion of papers in the proceedings is conditional upon registration of at least one author per paper. http://www.tpdl2016.org/digitalhumanities Important Dates --------------- The deadline for submissions is March 15, 2016.

Three Fellows will be based at each institution, and will work collaboratively to address the development of systems and services to support the long-term preservation of the libraries' digitised and born-digital cultural heritage collections. The roles of the three Fellows will be mirrored at each location, and will concentrate on the areas of Policy and Planning; Outreach and Training; and Technical. These six posts offer an exciting opportunity to help shape the digital preservation activities at two of the world's foremost research libraries, and to share with others the knowledge and experience learned.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:05:42 +0000 From: Alexandre Enkerli Subject: Text Analysis, Easing in Semantic Annotations and Linked Data Hello all! Fairly longterm subscriber (since Volume 16, in 2003[1]), occasional poster. And naïve humanist with a digital bent. Would like your insight on a crazy idea about the combination of three threads having to do with Digital Humanities. My main work isn’t really about DH, but as an ethnographer working in digital domains (technopedagogy, most recently), been thinking about the list on several occasions. For instance, Humanist came up during interactions with Stefan Sinclair around a lab about tools to support learners’ writing[2]. Stefan’s work with Geoffrey Rockwell on Voyant Tools[3] has been on my mind quite a bit. Used Voyant to build a coursepack in material culture and later thought about the tools’ potential in providing feedback on learners’ writing (for that same lab[2]). Then noticed Michael Widner’s work on essay revision[4], using Voyant Tools. That’s one thread: unexpected uses of textual analysis. Lots of cool tools are listed on TAPoR[5] and it’s fun to explore the possibilities. Maybe there’s a tool (or set of tools) out there which can enable my crazy idea? We’ll see… Fastforward a few months to my “discovery” of Open Annotations in general and Hypothes.is in particular. Was lucky enough to benefit from interactions with Renoir Boulanger (former W3C DevOps) and Jeremy Dean (Lit Genius pioneer and now Director of Education for Hypothesis). Clearly, there’s something going on with annotations. (The aforementioned Widner also created annotation tools (Lacuna Stories[6]) and wrote a series of posts about Genius[7].) Boom. Second thread. Third thread is about Five Star Linked Data, which is actually closer to my work. It might be controversial in some circles, but it’s pretty neat for Libraries, Archives, Museums… and Education (though MEAL would be a better acronym than LAME). See, we have this learning resource catalogue[8] which takes part in the Semantic Web movement and conforms to Normetic, a local application profile for learning resources[9]. (Normetic is currently switching from LOM to MLR[10], getting deeper into Linked Data[11].) Our platform has recently added the ability to combine learning resource metadata from multiple sources, especially useful as a way to tie those resources to diverse ontologies (ministry of education’s competencies, Bloom’s taxonomy, accessibility standards…). Exciting stuff! A problem here is that indexing work can be rather difficult. In fact, the same can be said about much work for the Semantic Web in general and Linked Data in particular. It gets quite technical quite quickly. In a way, it’s as though we were at the same point with the Semantic Web as we were with the WWW before NCSA Mosaic. There are people who know a lot about SPARQL, SKOS, DBPedia, Turtle, DCMI, VDEX, etc. Maybe some of you are experts in all of these things. But it’s particularly hard to get non-experts to contribute to the Web of Data. Which is where the crazy idea comes in: what if we could use textual analysis to ease out semantic annotations and contribute to the Web of Data? Recently listened to the audiobook version of Walter Isaacson’s The Innovators[12], a kind of collective biography of diverse people involved in the “digital revolution” (from Ada Lovelace to Marissa Mayer). Through the book, couldn’t help but feel that it should be converted into a Linked Data version. A lot of the content sounds like a narrative expression of RDFa. Having URIs for each entity would make the book more valuable as a resource. Sure, the same factoids about the links between these people are already available elsewhere (Ada Lovelace’s FoaF page probably contains more useful data than Isaacson’s book). But there’s something to be said about following links from a text to the Web of Data. It might be possible to annotate Isaacson’s book semi-automatically, tagging individual occurrences of “Ada Lovelace”, “Lady Lovelace”, “Lord Byron’s daughter”, etc. Corpus tools like those created by Rockwell and Sinclair would be quite useful, here. Especially if they were combined with Open Annotations. And if these annotations generated the necessary code to be integrated in the Web of Data. Obviously, the process could then apply to Eric Raymond’s The Cathedral and the Bazaar[13], Lawrence Lessig’s Free Culture[14], and Christopher Kelty’s Two Bits[15]. (Conveniently, these last three texts are all available in HTML…) Maybe we could throw in some Markdown[16] (or CriticMarkup[17]) in the mix, for good measure, as plain text annotation tends to be easier for many people than XML and other *ML. As a non-coder, my options are to dig through TAPoR[5] and other repertoires for a tool which does all this and/or to send feature requests to Voyant Tools, Hypothesis, etc. So… How crazy is all of this? Could we use text analysis to facilitate a type of annotation which can then contribute to Linked Data (LODLAM+education, etc.)? Will probably follow this up on the LOD folks[20]. Quite possibly, though, this may all be related to things like the Text Encoding Initiative, Federated Wiki[18], ePUB3, and Wikity[19]. If so, there are Humanist listmembers who can talk to these points.

A sample past publication in the research field: B. E. Klein N. Dershowitz L. Wolf, O. Almogi, D. Wangchuk. Finding Inexact Quotations Within a Tibetan Buddhist Corpus. Digital Humanities (DH), 2014. http://www.cs.tau.ac.il/~wolf/papers/textalignment.pdf The goal is to bring together capable people and work hands on Sunday--Thursday. No talks, just work. Location: http://www.kibbutzlotan.co.il/#!eco-tourism/cpw2 Full boarding will be provided by the organizers. There will be a bus from Tel Aviv and back (exact times TBD). Dates: Feb 14--Feb 18, 2016. Participants are expected to stay for the entire duration. Inquiries and registration: Write Lior Wolf wolf@cs.tau.ac.il as soon as possible, and not after Dec 31. Description: The objective of the meeting is to develop a digital tool that will allow the identification of shared passages •• that is, passages found in two or more texts as a result of either “borrowing” or citing -- and thus enable a comprehensive study of the evolution of canonical Buddhist corpora, including scriptures•that is, texts believed by the tradition to contain the Word of the Buddha •• and their commentaries and related treatises. The specific corpus to be studied is the Tibetan Buddhist canon, which mainly consists of Indic Buddhist literature in Tibetan translation. This Indic Buddhist corpus has been formed over a period of more than a thousand years and contains various layers of materials, and its translation into Tibetan has stretched over several centuries. The importance of such an application lies first and foremost in that it will allow scholars to determine the emergence and the history of transmission of individual texts and even textual corpora and to better understand the history of the Buddhist ideas found therein. We shall probe methods of finding inexact quotations and borrowed texts within Tibetan Buddhist corpora transcribed in Latin script, comparing simultaneously numerous different textual units, with the aim to better our understanding of the evolution and emergence of individual texts. Moreover, the tool also aims at allowing a better understanding of the processes of translation and revision of translation, and of editorial policies as well. Particular challenges are the monosyllabic nature of the Tibetan language, the omission or addition of grammatical particles without changing the meaning, varying orthographies, and affluence of homophones, which must be taken into consideration.

Visible Language. Vol. 39, No. 3. [Special journal issue.] Dear Colleagues, For those interested in Fluxus and intermedia, the 2005 special issue of the journal Visible Language (Vol. 39, No. 3) on Fluxus and Legacy is now posted to the Fluxus and Intermedia section of my Academia page at URL: https://swinburne.academia.edu/KenFriedman Published as a full digital reprint with permission of Visible Language, you are free to download it, add it to your digital resources collection, distribute and use it as you wish. —snip— Abstract: Any community of thought and practice that expands beyond the circle of its immediate founders faces the problem of legacy and history. This problem becomes inevitable when a community endures long enough to survive the founders. When these problems enter the realm of history, they are multiplied by the number of scholars and practitioners involved. The intermedia nature of Fluxus brings in questions and histories of art, literature, performance, music and other fields, while the mixed feelings and motives of younger practitioners raise other questions: the desire to claim legacy, the wish to deny legacy, anxiety of influence and more. Finally, the needs and demands of collectors, gallerists and museums compounds the problem. This special issue addresses these problems. Copyright (c) 2005 by Visible Language.

But of course we all know that the most interesting and > important facts and ideas are behind screens. This is why we look for > objective fact behind appearance, for cause or chance below event, > for mechanism behind behaviour, and for system and pattern underneath > particulars. All these tasks require rigorous imagination --“ in > particular, disciplined fiction rather than myth making. Although we > are immersed in reality, our knowledge of it is not immediate. As our screens are able in ever higher resolution to present the effects of ever faster and more clever digital processes, we are ever more compellingly lured away from enquiring "behind appearance", as Bunge says, even to the point of arguing that what happens in that behind and beneath is irrelevant -- that how the engineering is done, and what that engineering does in presenting these appearances to us, do not matter. We drift away to ask other questions, to ask what people do with the appearances they are given, without questioning how they were fashioned, what sort of choices were made, what bits of reality were left out because they could not be re-presented. We fall prey once again to the "post-" malady, to yet another "turn", by which that which came before is chopped off and forgotten. To what extent, then, is digital humanities becoming the victim of the anti-historical force of technological progress? The rhetoric of revolution casts the past as that which must be overcome. There is some sense in that, I think. But does "overcome" have to mean "discarded, forgotten"? Comments?

In-Reply-To: <20151223062351.ED95C79A3@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Alexandre, The idea of programmatically generating annotations and contributing to the Semantic Web is utterly fascinating, and totally doable. You should do it! My advice would be to learn a scripting language like Python, and start coding it up. What you're suggesting doesn't require a computer science background, and you can teach yourself almost all you need to know on CodeCademy if you have a week or two off. Voyant Tools is an end-user product, as are most of the tools listed on TAPoR, but a project like this needs text analysis programming libraries, and not end-user applications, since the various software packages you'll use need to talk to each other more than they need a web interface. But you don't even really need to program if you can get the right people interested in the project. Why not start a repository for the project on GitHub, and invite a few NLP programmers to contribute? Hypothesis has an API that you can use to enter your annotations programmatically. Their text location syntax is not super-well documented (as they admit themselves), but it's easy to figure out if you take a close look at some of the responses. Once you can scrape together the types of annotations you want, you can programmatically enter them on Hypothesis. I'm not aware of a Hypothesis to Semantic Web pipeline, or a Hypothesis to/from TEI pipeline, but this sounds like a great endeavor. You could fairly easily put together something in Python that reads annotations from TEI and generates Hypothesis annotations for them, or vice-versa. I just did some experiments with annotation in TEI, myself, here: http://jonreeve.com/projects/garden-party/ It uses "interp" tags to annotate segments of text, not unlike what Barthes does in S/Z. From there, the interpretations are translated to HTML with XSLT, and made interactive with some light jQuery. The code for the project, including the TEI XML, can be found here: https://github.com/JonathanReeve/corpus-mansfield-garden-party-TEI. I'm not very familiar with RDF, Federated Wiki, or ePUB3. Perhaps someone else here could chime in about those? Hope that helps, -Jonathan http://jonreeve.com On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 1:23 AM Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 575. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:05:42 +0000 > From: Alexandre Enkerli > Subject: Text Analysis, Easing in Semantic Annotations and Linked > Data > > > Hello all! > > Fairly longterm subscriber (since Volume 16, in 2003[1]), occasional > poster.

In-Reply-To: <20151223062351.ED95C79A3@digitalhumanities.org> Hello Alex, The idea of using annotations for text analysis is one that I've thought of quite a bit myself. One of the things we're going to be doing next with Lacuna Stories is creating a training set of annotations, then using machine learning to classify student annotations automatically. That's tangential to what you're discussing here, though, which sounds more like you're interested in using annotations as a bridge to the semantic web. The javascript library that both Hypothesis and Lacuna Stories is built on is called Annotator.js. It's pretty straight-forward to create extensions to it. I could envision creating some plugins that link to various LOD databases like VIAF and others, then automatically prompt users for suggestions that match the text they've highlighted. With some named entity extraction, you could even prepopulate the texts with annotations that link entities to these resources. There are also a variety of tools out there that already "annotate" texts for named entities (GATE, Stanford NER, Python's nltk library, etc.), but not in a way that converts them into LOD, as far as I know. There could be, and I'd love to hear about any. There's also a group that's meeting in May at Purdue to discuss issues around annotation, called the Cove Collective: http://covecollective.org/ Although this group is focused on Victorian literature, several of us (Amanda Visconti and myself, in particular) are interested in digital annotation more widely. You might want to get in touch with Amanda, who is an Asst. Prof. and Digital Humanities Specialist at Purdue Libraries. Her digital dissertation was an collaboratively-annotated edition of Ulysses, which she built up based in part on code I wrote for Lacuna Stories. Anyway, just a few stray thoughts on the topic. I'd be happy to chat further about the topic some time. We have several projects at Stanford around text analysis, annotation, and linked open data... just none that tie them all together yet.

It gets quite technical quite quickly. In a way, it’s as though we were at the same point with the Semantic Web as we were with the WWW before NCSA Mosaic. There are people who know a lot about SPARQL, SKOS, DBPedia, Turtle, DCMI, VDEX, etc. Maybe some of you are experts in all of these things.

A lot of the content sounds like a narrative expression of RDFa. Having URIs for each entity would make the book more valuable as a resource. Sure, the same factoids about the links between these people are already available elsewhere (Ada Lovelace’s FoaF page probably contains more useful data than Isaacson’s book).

Especially if they were combined with Open Annotations. And if these annotations generated the necessary code to be integrated in the Web of Data.

Students work closely with their advisors and combine classes from across the Institute in line with their research interests. The program offers both an MS and a PhD degree, and admits about 15 MS and 4 PhD students each year. This year, in conjunction with a new initiative funded by a $1M grant from the Mellon Foundation to pursue the intersection of digital humanities and civic engagement, we are offering up to three funded studentships (either MS or PhD) for applicants whose educational and professional backgrounds and/or future research interests can help us explore this intersection. Students with a strong background in a humanities discipline, including but not limited to English, Film/Media Studies, Africana/Black Studies, Women’s and Gender Studies, and Art History; and with demonstrable knowledge of-- or interest in-- the tools and techniques of digital media making are particularly encouraged to apply. A familiarity with the field of digital humanities is also welcome. The application deadline for both the MA and PhD program is January 8th.

Our methods are varied and incorporate a number of schools in ethnolinguistics, ethnopoetics, folklore, etc. There are many archives and databases documenting particular oral traditions, especially in indigenous languages. Our goal is to develop software that will allow us to pursue "comparative oral stylistics," thus to handle any and all languages, and to I try to keep up with the Humanist Discussion Group, watching out for similar projects, but it is possible that some have gotten past me. If you are involved in study of speech styles, oral stylistics, and/ or oral poetries, please contact me. Or if you know anyone who might be interested, please pass on my message. Also, we have not started coding anything other than a couple of MySQL databases. It seems obvious that our editing software would utilize TEI, but I have seen messages that suggest there are other solutions. I would be ever so grateful for any and all suggestions! Many thanks!

The main theme of this conference is “Modellierung - Vernetzung - Visualisierung. Die Digital Humanities als fächerübergreifendes Forschungsparadigma” (Modelling - Networking - Visualisation. Digital Humanities as a transdisciplinary research paradigm). The 2nd EADH day will open in the evening of the 7th of March and continue on the 8th of March until just before the opening of DHd 2016. The objective of EADH days is to raise awareness for DH research activities beyond the regional conference context. The format of EADH day is designed to facilitate exchange and networking initiatives among European DH research communities. Participants may contribute directly to the EADH Day agenda in two ways: * Through presentations of a 5 minute lightning talk featuring either recent research developments or key topics of interest to the digital humanities community (e.g. ‘The potential of Linked Data for annotating medieval music scores’). Participants wishing to present lightning talks should provide a two-page abstract of the presentation in English which will be made available online prior to the event. * Through the proposition of a challenge for participants to address during the event related to the themes of: * Integrating research and teaching * Integrating different communities * Integrating the global and the local * Integrating different scholarly domains Challenges can be presented in creative ways. Round tables with respondents and / or speakers / audience sharing the stage in turns, multimedia presentations, short sketches, students's projects, are only some of the formats which come to mind. Challenges should take the form of an open question (e.g. ‘How do we teach Digital Humanities?’ ‘What is the social resonance of Digital Humanities?’, ‘What is the contribution of Digital Humanities to collective memory and public history?’ etc.), with one or two paragraphs of text justifying its significance. * Proposals should be submitted via ConfTool (https://conftool.pro/dhd2016/) by the 31st of January 2016. Information in English about the submission process will be available soon at http://www.dhd2016.de/. Lightning talks and challenges will be selected by an EADH panel. Presentation of a lightning talk or a challenge is not a requirement to particpate and anyone may register to attend the event via the http://www.dhd2016.de/ website. Participation in the 2nd EADH day is free of charge for registered participants of DHd 2016. For people who only choose to take part in the 2nd EADH day fees are as follows: Members of EADH AOs / ADHO COs * Regular members € 30,00 * Students (BA, MA), doctoral students without employment, unemployed € 10,00 Non members of EADH AOs / ADHO COs * Regular participants € 60,00 * Students (BA, MA), doctoral students without employment, unemployed € 25,00 EADH Day is supported financially and administratively by the European Association for the Digital Humanities (EADH) in collaboration with its Associated Organisations.

But as consciousness cannot be observed, nor commonly defined, is there now a true 'Science of Consciousness'? Are we there yet? We don't have definite answers, but do have directions and essential questions. Is the brain a computer? Does it process or generate information according to 'integrated information', 'global workspace', 'predictive coding', 'scale- invariant dynamics', 'Bayesian probabilities', 'pre-frontal feedback' or 'synchronous oscillations'? Did consciousness emerge during biological evolution, and if so, when, where, and how? Is consciousness causal, or are we just 'along for the ride'? Will consciousness be reproduced through brain mapping, transhumanism and/or artificial intelligence? Or does the brain 'tune into' and organize conscious precursors existing naturally in the universe? Will understanding of consciousness come through the quantum wavefunction, panpsychism, cosmology, or the very structure of spacetime geometry? Has consciousness been in the universe all along, and if so, did life and the brain evolve because of consciousness? What are the implications of either view on the nature of existence and treatment of mental and cognitive disorders? These questions and many others will be debated, discussed, celebrated and argued during a weeklong gathering of scientists, philosophers, artists, meditators and interested people from 70 countries at Loews Ventana Canyon Resort, a luxurious eco-lodge in the mountains just north of Tucson, Arizona. The pre-conference workshop program is complete, the plenary speaker list is growing, and the social, entertainment and exhibit programs are taking shape. The abstract submission deadline for plenary, concurrent, poster and exhibit consideration has been extended to January 4th. See below for themes, confirmed Plenary speakers, pre-conference workshops, social events and other information. Psychologist, philosopher and 'father' of the science of consciousness William James wrote: 'to have a glimpse of what consciousness is would be the scientific achievement before which all others would pale.'

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 3 Jan 2016 10:20:49 +0000 From: Philip Sapirstein Subject: Conference: Call for papers Call for Papers – "New approaches and paradigms in the study of Greek architecture" An International Workshop sponsored by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, hosted at Cotsen Hall, November 3–5, 2016 Recent scholarship has challenged in a fundamental way our understanding of Greek architecture, ranging from rethinking individual monuments and construction techniques, to reassessing whole categories of buildings as they developed over the centuries. Concurrently, a wide array of new digital technologies—developed recently and tested in various contexts for fieldwork, site management, and spatial analysis—promises to transform the way in which architectural historians examine their material. This workshop will bring together archaeologists and architectural historians to present their most challenging ideas alongside researchers who have used digital techniques to enhance the way they approach the preservation and analysis of ancient architecture. We invite scholars at all levels to present new ideas and recent successes in the field, conceived broadly. "New approaches and paradigms" may include pure research, methodological commentary and critiques, results from recent fieldwork, and innovative digital approaches to the study of ancient architecture. The event should spark conversations about a variety of exciting topics concerning architecture and open up new possibilities for collaboration involving the use of cutting-edge methods for fieldwork and architectural study. We believe the time is right for an international conference that includes recent advances within the field, with an emphasis on the revolutionary potential offered by the integration of digital technologies into our research. The organizers intend to publish an edited, peer-reviewed volume of selected papers. The workshop is scheduled for November 3-5, 2016. Those interested in presenting a paper are kindly requested to submit an abstract of ca. 500 words to the organizers by email (drscahill@gmail.com or psapirstein2@unl.edu) no later than January 31, 2016. Notification of acceptance will be made in March. Proposals should address questions related to the theme and make clear the expected results or conclusions. Speakers will be allotted ca. 40-45 minutes, with 15-20 minutes for questions. Accommodations and meals in Athens during the conference will be provided for the speakers and arranged by the organizers through the ASCSA (speakers will be expected to cover travel expenses). More detailed information on the proceedings and accommodation will follow once the program is finalized.

Here is a link to a professional/managerial position in the University of Guelph Research Office related to the implementation of a new research support system. It is temporary full-time but I expect it would be made permanent if all goes well. It reads like a very technical position, and indeed they want someone who can design reports for the Microsoft SQL system, but they also need someone with a good understanding of research, and good communication and support skills to lease with and support faculty. The position would operate from the research office, not computing services. I just learned of the position today. They are going to evaluate whether to keep the position open for another week on January 6th, so if you are interested put in an application right away. https://www.uoguelph.ca/hr/careers-guelph-current-opportunities/analyst-iii-distributed-services-0 All the best, Susan ______________________________________________________________ Susan Brown Canada Research Chair in Collaborative Digital Scholarship Director, Orlando Project; Project Leader, Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory President, Canadian Society for Digital Humanities/Société canadienne des humanités numériques Professor Visiting Professor School of English and Theatre Studies English and Film Studies University of Guelph University of Alberta Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1 Canada Edmonton, Alberta T6G 2E5 519-824-4120 x53266 (office) 780-492-7803 sbrown@uoguelph.ca susan.brown@ualberta.ca http://orlando.cambridge.org http://www.ualberta.ca/ORLANDO http://www.cwrc.ca _______________________________________________ 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 6D6C67CD0; Tue, 5 Jan 2016 06:38:04 +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 54D4C7CC6; Tue, 5 Jan 2016 06:38:03 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 16EC07CC7; Tue, 5 Jan 2016 06:38:00 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160105053800.16EC07CC7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 06:38:00 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.594 pubs: editorialization; design; the literary archive 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: <20160105053804.32114.36390@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 594.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 07:02:31 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: where attention goes Writing of the promotion of mechanization in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, William Ashworth remarks that, > Debates over the replication of human intelligence have less to do > with what it is to be human and far more to do with making it fit the > criteria of the prevalent culture.... Thus attempts at inscribing the > workings of human intelligence into a machine were (and are) > ultimately about making humans appear to think like machines too and > then claiming it as 'natural'. ("England and the Machinery of Reason", in Bodies/Machines, ed. Iwan Rhys Morus, p. 47) Thus when we present evidence of improved grasp and so understanding of our subjects by means of computing, with implicit if not explicit argument that we should be thinking of them in this new way, is not the process of naturalizing the machine well underway? The problem I see here, often exacerbated by promotionalism, is the unspoken imperative that we should redirect rather than enlarge the scope of our attention. The new way, whatever it is, means a tradeoff, a loss as well as a gain. Losing the loss seems to me a real loss. Take the view of literature that statistical processing enables, for example. It's a genuine gain to have better command of the background against which a particular novel or poem is read. (Back in my days as a doctoral student of English literature, before any of this was possible, Northrop Frye was arguing tirelessly for the value of bringing into focus the whole Western literary corpus.) But is there a danger here of forgetting actual, literal reading? Literary history is indeed well served by the sharper, more comprehensive overview, but it in turn serves individual reading of individual works. We fret institutionally and some of us personally over the connection between intra- and extra-mural life. At their meeting point is the work of literary, visual, musical, material art. What can be done right there, with our tools, to help them come alive? Comments?

How does the current ‘digital revolution’ compare to technological change in earlier periods, from the birth of radio and television to the arrival of the fax machine and photocopier? How are digital technologies changing the methodological and conceptual terrain of political history? And how should we preserve and analyse ‘born-digital’ sources, from central government emails to activist tweets? In short, if digital technologies have changed politics in our time, how are they changing political history? This event will bring early-career and more established historians together with archivists, policymakers and digital specialists to consider these and other questions about the relationship between politics, digital technologies and the writing of history. The event, hosted in partnership between the Mile End Institute at Queen Mary University of London and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office Historians, forms part of a wider programme of activity focused on early-career scholars on the theme of Rethinking Contemporary British Political History, which is funded by a British Academy’s Rising Star Engagement Award held by Dr Helen McCarthy at Queen Mary University of London.

Humanities scholarship in digital arenas benefits from the opportunity to prototype and critically reflect on new knowledge environments which offer unique models of understanding and modes of scholarly communication. Such modelling and prototyping activities (the products and processes of which are arguments, theories and methods) involve engaged, inventive, and exploratory research practices that overlap with critical making discourses. Possible topics can include, but are not limited to: * ideological and political implications of critical modelling and prototyping practices * humanities modelling strategies * provocative prototyping * ways of modelling data (visualization, db structures, indexing) * modelling as mapping * critical making and maker culture * tool and interface prototyping * prototyping as research/rhetoric/argumentation * modelling pedagogy * prototyping as pedagogy * open social scholarship * experimental defamiliarization * gaming and gamification * unconventional knowledge environments Since the conference sessions will be structured to encourage extensive discussion, we invite proposals for short papers (10 minutes) that address the conference topics and other issues pertinent to research in the area. Poster proposals for a planned poster session are also welcome. Proposals should 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 Jon Saklofske (jon.saklofske@acadiau.ca) and/or Jon Bath (jon.bath@usask.ca) by the end of the day on January 29, 2016. This conference will be held in conjunction with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute and the annual conference of the Electronic Literature Organization. Featured collaborative events include a joint institute lecture on Friday June 10th by Jon Saklofske (Acadia U), “Prototyping Resistance: Wargame Narrative and Inclusive Feminist Discourse,” with panel discussants Stephanie Boluk (Pratt Institute), Diane Jakacki (Bucknell U), Elizabeth Losh (UC San Diego), and Anastasia Salter (U Central Florida), and a joint reception on Friday evening at the UVic University Club. Journal publication following conference We have planned for selected articles based on conference talks to be published in a special issue of Digital Studies / Le champ numérique. INKE Modelling and Prototyping The Modelling and Prototyping team (M&P) is part of a seven-year research project on the future of reading called Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE). The goal of M&P is to reconsider the form and content of current options for humanities data distribution and explore how such options can be expanded upon and pluralized through imaginative and combinative work that thinks and argues through tool building. Our models and prototypes self-reflexively engage with the ways that the traditional politics and habits of scholarly communication can be extended, ignored, or challenged by digital humanities initiatives, tools, and environments.

The Spring 2016 class begins Friday, January 22, 2016 and meets for two hours on Fridays, 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. (Central time) through April 29, 2016 (except for the week of TAMU Spring Break and Good Friday and one Monday class.) This course is designed for people who have had some introduction to coding in the Digital Humanities, ideally the Fall 2015 *Programming4Humanists *class. However, any coding experience will do. This class will introduce registrants to methods of topic modeling – that is, automated ways of finding clusters of ideas in textual data such as the 23,000 texts from Early English Books Online that have recently been released by the Text Creation Partnership. We will teach registrants how to clean metadata and add information to it that brings it closer to Linked Open Data. We will teach intermediate TEI encoding (that is, anything beyond the basic TEIStevensFinished.xml document used during the Fall 2015 class), specifically, drama, poetry, prose, and the TEI Header. We will transform these advanced TEI documents into web pages, build a DIY digital edition, and then transform the TEI documents into corrected versions of themselves (pretending that we found coding errors which need to be corrected). Finally, during the last classes of the course, we will all learn how to use one or two open-source Optical Character Recognition engines in order to transform page images into textual data, the data that can then be used for TEI encoding and topic modeling. Course dates and the schedule of topics, plus registration information are available at http://www.programming4humanists.org Certificate and Non-Certificate Registration Options: Certificate registrants receive certificates confirming they have a working knowledge of topic modeling, TEI, XSLT, and Optical Character Recognition. Registration includes access to all class videos during the course period and an oXygen license. Non-Certificate registrants receive access to class videos for one week after the class. -- Laura Mandell Director, Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture Professor, English Texas A&M University p: 979-845-8345 e: idhmc@tamu.edu @mandellc http://idhmc.tamu.edu --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 7 Jan 2016 12:39:04 -0600 From: Laura Mandell Subject: Ideas about Programming4Humanists Dear Humanist readers: I want to thank those of you who have participated in the Programming4Humanists seminar: we have learned so much, particularly from the honest evaluations, and hope to keep improving the course. The Texas Digital Humanities Consortium spearheaded by Lisa Spiro hosted a webinar in which we discussed the difficulties of teaching the Programming4Humanists course, getting some great feedback and ideas from people such as Unmil Karadkar, a computer scientist who is a professor at the University of Texas School of Information who has had so much good experience in teaching coding and programming to non-computer-scientists. (In short, the discussion is the most important part of the video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFua-AlvlZk Please feel free to discuss the difficulties of teaching DH either on or off list.

Winning exhibits, in addition to being well designed and produced, should raise pertinent historical issues. Artifacts and images should be used in a manner that interests, teaches, and stimulates both the general public and historians. The award consists of a plaque and up to $1,000 to cover expenses for a member of the design team to accept the award at the SHOT awards banquet. Exhibits are eligible for this award if they have been open to the public for no more than 24 months before the deadline for nominations. The Society especially encourages nominations from local and regional historical societies. Virtual exhibits are not eligible for the award. Anyone, including the institution or individual responsible for its creation, may nominate an exhibit for the Dibner Award, using the nomination form available here as a PDF or Word document. The completed nomination form should be e-mailed to each member of the Dibner Committee. For the 2016 prize, the extended deadline is 15 January 2016, except in the case of traveling and short-term exhibits that close before that date; in those cases, nominators must submit their documents to the committee at least two months in advance of the exhibit's closing date. Nomination documents may not under any circumstances exceed 1 MB or contain anything other than text and static images. After reviewing nominations, the committee will choose a short list of finalists, giving sole consideration to the evaluation documents submitted. The committee will then arrange for a "live" reviewer to visit each of the short-listed exhibits and write a report. Normally the chair will draw upon recommendations for live reviewers made by the nominator in the nomination document, although s/he may use her/his judgment to assign alternative reviewers as needed, including members of the committee. For more information, please contact the committee chair or David Lucsko, SHOT Secretary, shotsec@auburn.edu. http://www.historyoftechnology.org/about_us/awards/dibner.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, 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 B8E557D23; Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:29:28 +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 EA6EA7D09; Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:29:27 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3AB117D09; Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:29:25 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160109102925.3AB117D09@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:29:25 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.605 RA positions at Cologne 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: <20160109102928.7876.92371@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 605.

Starting in 2016, the project is scheduled to run for 25 years, and has received funding for the entire period of its duration from the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences, Humanities and the Arts. Directors: Prof. Dr. Andreas Speer, Jun.-Prof. Dr. David Wirmer. The Digital Humanities position assigned to this project has the task * to evaluate existing editing tools and to adapt them to the needs of the present project; * to assist the editors in the encoding in XML/TEI of complex editorial findings; * to implement --€• on the basis of an existing framework (http://dare.uni-koeln.de/) -- solutions for the display of the critical apparatus; * to contribute to the development of an TEI schema for edition meta-data; * to further develop the technical framework with a view to standardized technologies and sustainability. Appointment requirements are: either a university degree (Master) in computer science and a good knowledge of questions and methods used in the humanities, especially in edition philology or a university degree (Master) in a field related to the subject-matter of the edition project and in-depth knowledge in informatics. Eligible candidates should demonstrate an excellent knowledge of XML/TEI, XML-databases, XML editors and their customization, other XML-related standards and web technologies. In addition, some experience in the creation of print masters is desirable. For further information see: http://ukoeln.de/F1JI1 Applicants for the positions in Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin Philosophy should be competent in more than one area. Appointment requirements are: a university degree and PhD in a field related to the subject-matter of the edition project (e.g. History of Philosophy, Classical Philology, Oriental Studies, Jewish Studies, etc.). Eligible candidates should demonstrate an excellent knowledge of either Arabic, Hebrew, or Latin, working knowledge of at least one of the other languages, and close familiarity with Medieval philosophy. The appointed editors are expected to work independently but in close collaboration with their colleagues. For further information see: http://ukoeln.de/KYP7X The University of Cologne is an equal opportunities employer. Applications of women are thus especially encouraged; applications of disabled persons will be given preferential treatment to those of other candidates with equal qualifications. Candidates should submit a cover letter that describes their research, two letters of recommendation, and a current curriculum vitae.

Disasters of a great variety, including financial crises, weather-related events, and terror-motivated incidents, motivate senders and receivers to exchange news and views through formal media and lately through social media. These news and views comprise considerable emotive content; use of emoticons in text messages is an innovative device. The news includes alerts and warnings from the authorities to the actual and potential victims of a disaster, and now social media allows victims to send information to their cohorts and to the authorities. The views are in opinion columns of newspapers and in blogs and twitter messages – mainly from the victims to the authorities, to affirm the messages sent by others and to criticise the news and views. Metaphors are used in these communications: avalanches, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, are used in all the above mentioned disaster communications for example; and metaphors of freedom, liberty and tyranny are used across the disaster typology. Metaphor is also used to communicate indirectly about events, euphemistically and dysphemistically. Disasters have to be classified if only to distinguish a major disaster from a minor disaster: the classification and categorisation process requires an ontological understanding of disaster in the first place. Ontology of disaster is an evolving subject and needs clarifications and understanding. An ontological understanding helps in creating terminology of a specific disaster where terms used elsewhere are elaborated with a different nuance emphasising one aspect of the disaster, focusing on victim needs, or dealing with the needs of the rescuers. The harvesting and analysis of social media has led to open questions about the rights and wrongs of such activities: The ethics of social media usage is equally important for this workshop This workshop will look at the collection and analysis of social media-based communications during major disasters. Emotive and metaphorical words are used during disasters by the disaster victims and their rescuers. The rescuers come from different backgrounds – medics, fire services, police, civil protection agencies – and each uses terminology that has a unique ontological commitment. The processing of social media based communications is fraught with the limitations of bandwidth on the one hand and with the potential of the technology for surveillance. It is important that language technologies be used to ensure due anonymity of the people involved and to ensure the existence of checks and balances. MOTIVATION AND TOPICS OF INTEREST: Social media now plays a major role in almost all communications, including disaster communications, and allows for a multi-way communication between the large groups of people, especially victims and their rescuers. Language is used not only to transmit written and spoken language excerpts but also for annotating still and video images. Disaster management systems require natural language processing platform that have in-built privacy measures. The multi-disciplinary nature of the rescuers requires a harmonisation of terminology and an understanding of ontologies used by different rescue agencies. Special language techniques are required for ensuring minimal ambiguity in disaster communications. The key topics are: emotive and metaphorical language;ontology of evolving subject domains; terminology of multi-disciplinary subjects social media analytics; disaster communications; cybersecurity for social media communications; legal and ethical issues in large scale collection of personal data during a disaster. SUMMARY OF THE CALL: This half-day workshop will deal with recent advances in social and legacy media analytics, emotive and metaphorical language --“ both verbal and non-verbal -- and the attendant cybersecurity, legal and ethical issues in large scale exchange and collections of data through social and legacy media during events such as natural disasters. It is necessary to examine what aspects of communication social and legacy media analytics aims to capture, and establish how and in what way this may be evaluated. The use of social and legacy media is instrumental in disaster monitoring and management during natural disasters. Systems largely rely on textual information, but the advent first of the internet and then of social media has increased the number of texts, images/videos that can be circulated quickly and need to be analysed to provide emergency relief. Communication through social media is no longer one-way, i.e. from citizens to emergency management (EM) organisations, but rather two-way, from citizens to EM organisations and from the latter to the former. There is always a risk that information can go viral and spread panic, while the broader legal, ethical and human rights impact is increasingly debated with reference to media comprising information about people, places and events in situations as intrusive as disaster and emergency relief. This workshop will bring together experts in, and users of, intelligent information gathering and processing. The topics covered will include: - emotive and figurative language in all types of social and legacy media communication; - automatic extraction of emotions and metaphors; - creation and evaluation of multidisciplinary ontology and terminology; - effective multicultural communications using social and formal media; - trust-building cybersecurity processes including non-disclosure of sensitive data for purposes other than disaster mitigation and relief; - emotive language use in disaster communications: early warning systems, disaster monitoring and mitigation, and post-disaster emergency relief - legal, ethical and human rights issues in large scale collections of personal data during a disaster. The workshop will provide a welcoming forum for presenting advances in analytical methods of verbal and non-verbal communication. It is intended for academics in information extraction and text analytics, disaster management and communication professionals. TENTATIVE SCHEDULE: The workshop will have four sessions: Emotive and metaphorical language; Terminology and Ontology; Language for leveraging image data; Ethical, Legal and Human Rights Issues TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS: Submissions Authors are invited to submit full papers on original, unpublished work in the topic area of this workshop. The language of the workshop is English and submissions should conform to LREC 2016 paper submission instructions.

Registration required: http://sites.duke.edu/digsymposium/events/ This one-day symposium will examine how digital tools prompt new approaches to teaching and research in art and architectural history, as well as in archaeology and visual studies. Databases, mapping, modeling, animations, and websites are also transforming the ways in which scholars and museums can communicate information to the public. Above all, digital tools stimulate entirely new types of research questions on the production and dissemination of works of art and material culture, the construction of buildings and cities, and issues of process and change over time. The Wired! Group at Duke University (http://www.dukewired.org ) started experimenting in 2009 with digital technologies that are appropriate for art, architectural, and urban history, developing a model of courses to integrate digital tools with historical materials, as well as a series of ongoing research initiatives to engage students at all levels. Additionally, the Wired! Group has offered week-long digital workshops at Duke University and in Venice since 2009 and introduced a Master’s degree in Digital Art History in Fall 2014. The symposium provides an opportunity for the Wired! Group to reflect on its mission and to highlight the important digital work that is underway in many universities and museums across the country. We will hear about a variety of approaches to digital scholarship across a range of artistic periods and geographic areas in teaching, research, and museum displays from ancient through modern and in western and non-western art. *Sponsored by the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies and the Wired!

With this commitment comes the realization that such formal implementation of DH and its siblings (e.g. digital social sciences, digital media, etc.) at a degree-granting level requires articulation of core requirements and competencies, identification and hiring of faculty who are capable of teaching DH in a variety of learning environments (coding, systems, application of methods), evaluating a broad spectrum of student work, and beyond. It also changes the foundational principles of the work of those in our network, as training increasingly involves learning how to teach competencies at the same time as we ourselves develop and maintain them in light of fast-paced advances. The International Digital Humanities Training Network is comprised of organizers of Digital Humanities training institutes and schools worldwide, formalised as the ADHO Training Group. Our gatherings include a member meeting of the International Digital Humanities Training Network / ADHO Training Group as well as mini-conferences devoted to specific topics that are important to our mission. Our gathering at DH2015 in Sydney facilitated reporting on innovations in the practice of DH pedagogy across borders. At this meeting, further needs were identified, particularly related to collaborating on and sharing programmatic materials, syllabi, rubrics and assessment metrics. Our meeting at Digital Humanities 2016 continues this important work. 2016 Focus, and Call for Proposals: For our 2016 mini-conference and meeting, we invite proposals for lightning talks and points of discussion from all those involved in DH training on all topics relating to DH training. We welcome proposals with a focus on ● ways in which individual universities, colleges, and other educational institutions are extending DH in the classroom. ● implementing DH pedagogical frameworks locally and working across institutions and training institutes to develop and collaborate on materials that can inform ways in which DH offerings and programs are formalized. ● assessment techniques in DH curriculum. 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 have been assessed. ● discussion of pedagogical materials, pre-circulated for critique and consideration. We are particularly interested in the submission of specific syllabi, tutorials, exercises, learning outcomes, assessment and rubrics that attendees might complete during the workgroup portion of the mini-conference. ● any topics that might further inform our discussion about DH training. Please send proposals of 1-2 pages with the subject heading “DH Pedagogy” to Ray Siemens, siemens@uvic.ca, by 15 February 2016. _______________________________________________ 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 C663F7D2E; Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:35:35 +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 21AC17D25; Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:35:35 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BA65E7D29; Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:35:32 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160109103532.BA65E7D29@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 9 Jan 2016 11:35:32 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.607 change of name?

At the moment I am puzzling over the use of analogies by experts in technical fields to help explain the nature of these fields to students and the general public. I am particularly interested in analogies which deliberately or inadvertently reveal how the field is or once was conceived by its practitioners. I want to be able to argue that even analogies which are discarded after they have done their work in research or those that could be regarded as merely playful or as concessions to the uninitiated are worth our attention. Here's an example. In his Lectures on Physics (1963), in the course of explaining the fundamental ideas of his discipline to undergraduates at Caltech, Richard Feynman used the following analogy: > What do we mean by "understanding" something? We can imagine that > this complicated array of moving things which constitutes "the world" > is something like a great chess game being played by the gods, and we > are observers of the game. We do not know what the rules of the game > are; all we are allowed to do is to watch the playing. Of course, if > we watch long enough, we may eventually catch on to a few of the > rules. The rules of the game are what we mean by fundamental physics. > Even if we knew every rule, however, we might not be able to > understand why a particular move is made in the game, merely because > it is too complicated and our minds are limited. If you play chess > you must know that it is easy to learn all the rules, and yet it is > often very hard to select the best move or to understand why a player > moves as he does. So it is in nature, only much more so; but we may > be able at least to find all the rules. Actually, we do not have all > the rules now. (Every once in a while something like castling is > going on that we still do not understand.) Aside from not knowing all > of the rules, what we really can explain in terms of those rules is > very limited, because almost all situations are so enormously > complicated that we cannot follow the plays of the game using the > rules, much less tell what is going to happen next. We must, > therefore, limit ourselves to the more basic question of the rules of > the game. If we know the rules, we consider that we "understand" the > world. (p. 2-1) Many thanks for any suggestions. I'd be especially grateful for examples in other fields, such as chemistry and biology. As an example of the former, Friedrich August Kekulé's famous dream of the ourobos (snake with its tail in its mouth), which supposedly inspired his discovery of the structure of benzene, raises the question of the relation of alchemy to chemistry in the 19th Century.

This site features historical articles from black newspapers such as the Atlanta Daily World, Baltimore Afro-American, Chicago Defender, and Philadelphia Tribune. These newspapers—digitized as part of the ProQuest Black Newspaper collection—are among the most important sources for understanding black history and culture in the twentieth century. By emphasizing the ordinary or mundane aspects of history I hope both to call attention to people and events that are not commonly featured in textbooks, documentaries, or Black History Month celebrations, while also casting new light on well-known black history subjects. Each day I will post at least one newspaper article from that date in history and a brief commentary. I would love to have other faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students contribute to Black Quotidian. Please e-mail me if you are interested. I will be experimenting with different types of posts over the course of the year, so I welcome creative ways of using black newspapers. You do not need to know how to use Scalar or have any particular technical skills. If your institution does not subscribe to ProQuest Historical Black Newspapers, e-mail me and I can help you find a select of articles related to your research interests. If you have access to other historical black newspapers, I am happy to have posts on those as well. It would be great if you could mention this project to other colleagues and students who might be interested in following or contributing.

In-Reply-To: <20160109103532.BA65E7D29@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Over the years I've got into some Change the Name debates: wars, they sometimes felt like. In the 1980s after AI (Artificial Intelligence) had been given a bad oder by the Lighthill report (1973), the Alvey Programme was launched as the UK's response to the Japanese Fifth Generation programme. (Some here, I imagine, will remember those far off days.) In the Alvey Programme, AI was given the alias IKBS: Intelligent Knowledge Based Systems. We, in AI, mostly learned to use the new-speak, but quickly reverted once the Alvey period had blown over. Later on, I got caught up in Artificial Life (AL). It offered a home for a kind of robotics I was doing. In the early days of AL there was much screaming and shouting about its name, from within and outwith. But we got used to it, and the complaining mostly died away. Design Science is another name that has been battled over. Can there be a science of design, or designing, as I prefer to put it? Of course, this depends upon what can fit into being a science, and what designing is, and can be. Neither of these are fixed, nor agreed, so the debate was essentially futile. Names, good ones, don't define, they usefully label. What some labeled activity is is what is done under this label. Digital Humanities is what people doing digital humanities do. And, the people who get to decide what this doing is are the people who do it. So, if the doers are happy with DH as a label for what they do, any complainers who are not doing this kind of work, needn't be given much attention. The name of a field or area we work in is not a personal choice. It is a community issue. Well labeled areas of work usually involve many different people doing different things in different ways, often with widely differing views about the name of the field. A degree of tolerance and openness is thus needed to avoid fruitless internal "what should we call ourselves" battles. Names of new fields or kinds of activity are usually arrived at early on, often too early on, given how things develop and pan out. This is just the way things work. Names, labels for what we do, are needed. Fighting against the consequences of an early choice is usually unproductive and not really needed. A field of scholarship and research is best presented and defended in terms of what it does, how it does it, and the kinds of knowledge and understanding it constructs as a community. Debating, arguing, and sometimes fighting over the approaches, methods, techniques, and the quality of the outcomes is where our attention should be drawn, not on what we call what we do, and what others may think of this. I'd say it's Digital Humanities now, so let's get on with learning how to do good DH and exploring what this can be.

To Hartmut Krech I would avow that, as far back as my recollections go, when I first joined the ALLC (Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing—now EADH) in the late eighties, the current denomination was "humanities computing". I still believe that this was a more adequate characterisation, chiefly for its relationship with *research* in the humanities and I think that some of the now current manifestations of "digital humanities" have little to do with adding value to humanities research as such. Do they always bring about new research results ? This is something that in my opinion deserves to be thought about, for I am of the opinion that the time of advertising is already over and we are now summoned to prove the usefulness of the application of computational procedures in dealing with humanities research challenges.

In-Reply-To: <20160105092315.C9FA67B84@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I didn't know of William Ashworth's remarks about "inscribing the workings of human intelligence into a machine." Very nice! And thank you! We have continued this tradition. More recent examples being the brain is like a gigantic (analogue) telephone exchange, and more recently still, like a (big) computer, or now the internet. Can it be any other way? Can we come to understand things without adopting or at least leaning upon notions drawn directly from the things we can build? Could we have come to understand bird flight without building working heavier-than-air flying machines? Making things, and making them work well, and keeping them working well, certainly does demand good knowledge and understanding of things. It's thus not surprising that it can appear to offer a good foundation upon which to build an understanding of things we didn't make. Where else could we find such a foundation? Or, how else might we acquire one? On to Northrop Frye. As you know, I'm not (by training) of the Humanities, nor am I a scholar of literature. However, I do have an interest in Frye because of his development and promotion of literary criticism as a science. For me, Frye overly stretches the notion of science to cover his way of doing literary criticism, but it's not for me to complain about this, not here at least. What I think is worth asking here is, does doing good Frye-ian literary criticism involve doing the kinds of statistical analysis of texts that we can now do, and which we see being done? My (possibly wrong) way of understanding Frye-ian literary criticism is that for it to be done well we need to look carefully and extensively at how texts are built, using notions and concepts drawn from our attempts to understand them as carefully crafted human built things. Today, if you wanted to understand airplanes, you could do the same--though first acquiring a degree in aeronautical engineering would be a more conventional way: you could look carefully at how airplanes are built and what the people who build them do, how, and with what. What would not work, I think, would be attempts to do statistical analysis of all the many many kinds of airplane designs we now have. Such statistical analysis might give you some new and possibly useful categories and surface similarities and diss-similarities, but it will never tell you how we build good airplanes, nor anything about how we are able to do this. For that, you need to talk with, and work with, the people who do this. I'd say it's the same for written texts too. Aeronautical engineering is a humanities subject too. We just forgot this along the way somewhere. Building good texts is an engineering subject, so you can't leave out the people who do it if you want to really understand it.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2016 09:22:28 +0000 From: Adam Crymble Subject: Digital History Masterclass (London - 2 Feb 2016) Dear Fellow Humanists, I will be hosting a free digital history masterclass at the Institute of Historical Research in London on 2 February 2016 (2-4:30pm). Places are extremely limited to ensure participants receive individual attention. Sign up: http://dhrcmasterclass1.eventbrite.co.uk Details: This 2.5 hour ‘masterclass’ offers a practical workshop in which participants will learn how to extract dozens of place name keywords from a series of historical texts. The keywords will then be exported to a format that could easily be ‘geo-referenced’ and then mapped. This will be useful for anyone who regularly works with digitised texts who wants to be able to identify sets of keywords for further research (eg, place names, personal names, adjectives, etc). It is expected that once you have completed this lesson, you will be able to generalise the skills to extract custom sets of keywords from any set of locally saved historical sources. The masterclass will be led by Adam Crymble, lecturer of Digital History at the University of Hertfordshire. The Digital History Masterclass series is a joint initiative of the Digital History Research Centre http://herts.ac.uk/digital-history (DHRC) at the University of Hertfordshire, and of IHR Digital http://www.history.ac.uk/digital of the Institute of Historical Research http://www.history.ac.uk/ . Optional Extra: Participants are encouraged to attend an optional seminar (5-7pm) at the IHR by Katrina Navickas, who will describe how she used similar techniques to map the pubs in London where the popular political movement the Chartists held their meetings in the nineteenth century: Katrina Navickas, ‘Political Meetings Mapper with British Library Labs: mapping the origins of British democratic movements with text-mining, NLP, geo-parsing and crowd-sourcing’.

In-Reply-To: <20160110105902.0AAC879E6@digitalhumanities.org> This isn't a published example, but I've recently been doing a project with a mathematical chemist on new online interfaces to a system for therapeutic drug design. To explain the goal of getting the small molecule (the new drug, or ligand) to dock as tightly as possible into the massive molecule (the protein being drugged), we use this mixed metaphor: "Imagine a big bowl of noodles thrown into the air. That's the protein. It's constantly changing shape. Then you have a little piece that you want to fit in there, like a key in a lock. That's the ligand. Our goal is to design the key to fit as closely as possible into one or more of the locks in the protein."

Many of us, but not all, were shaped in subtle ways by the implementation of this idea in the ordinary thermostat. For what they might be worth, my musings this morning begin on the one hand with some people I know, not far away from here, who remain basically unaffected by homeostasis -- they turn the heat on and off, end of story -- and on the other by the latest round of thermostats, such as the Nest (https://nest.com), which domesticate machine-learning. There are stages in between, for example timers and somewhat more sophisticated programmable thermostats. But the Nest et al simply learn from one's temperature-setting behaviour. I wonder, has anyone studied the influence of technology on such a low-key domestic level? The Nest is said to light up when you approach it -- a friendly hello, as it were -- but is otherwise apparently quite demure, quietly forgettable, unlike the smartphone not drawing one's attention to it but receding into the background, therefore, I would think, powerfully influential.

A link to the webcast will be available on our website: www.cendari.eu where the event will be streamed from the beautiful Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities. CENDARI is a powerful new toolkit for digital historical research. The virtual research infrastructure has been developed over the past 4 years as a collaboration between historians, cultural heritage institutions and technical experts. It will make digital history accessible to a wider audience and represents a major milestone in digital cultural empowerment. Highlights of the day's events will include demonstrations of the new digital infrastructure, expert panel discussions and keynote addresses from leading historians Prof. Maciej Górny on "World War One Research in a Transnational and Digital Age" and Dr Erik Kwakkel on "Something Old, Something New: Medieval Manuscripts in the Digital Age." We welcome your participation through social media, especially Twitter, using the tags @CendariProject and #CendariLaunch where you can comment and pose questions in real time about this exciting development in digital historical research.

Please also forward this email to anyone you think may be interested in this topic. Thanks to the generosity of their partners and sponsors, DHSI is able to offer a number of tuition scholarships for their courses. These scholarships are open to all, and cover tuition costs with the exception of a small, non-refundable administration fee. Furthermore, additional tuition scholarships are available specifically for this course. You may apply via http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php DHSI not offers several additional opportunities to learn about digital humanities, scholarship, and pedagogy through unconference sessions, panel presentations, guest speakers, and colloquia. In addition, the 2016 Institute will coincide with ELO (Electronic Literature Organization) and INKE (Implementing New Knowledge Environments) conferences, so there will be additional opportunities to attend sessions and events for participants. Accessibility and Digital Environments: course description In order to successfully reach a wide audience, digital projects must take into account the variety of potential users and their diverse needs. Not everyone accesses information in the same way, though we often assume otherwise. For example, people with disabilities of many different kinds--sensory, physical, and cognitive--represent a significant percentage of users for many digital projects, but most of these projects are designed without thinking about accessibility. However, digital humanists can ensure that they are designing for all users by taking accessibility into account from the beginning of a project. And existing projects can be adjusted and modified to improve their accessibility. This course will take a two-fold approach: students will read and discuss key works from disability studies scholarship in order to consider various applications for the digital humanities; these readings will form a critical framework for students’ hands-on work with tools that enable them to evaluate and create scholarly digital resources. Mornings will involve readings-based discussions on topics such as emerging standards for accessibility in digital environments, the social model of disability, user-centered design, and embodiment. Afternoons will be reserved for guided individual exercises and small-group work. Students are encouraged to bring their own projects or project ideas in order to evaluate them for accessibility and to make or plan changes as appropriate. Knowledge of and experience with web design is not required, but curiosity and a willingness to learn are a necessity. For more information about DHSI, generally, visit http://dhsi.org http://dhsi.org/ If you have any questions or concerns about the “Accessibility and Digital Environments” course, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Submissions relating to Digital Humanities are particularly welcome. --- DEADLINE EXTENDED TO JANUARY 24! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL) 2016 June 19-23, 2016 Newark, NJ http://www.jcdl2016.org Twitter: @jcdl2016 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The theme of the 2016 JCDL conference is Big Libraries, Big Data, Big Innovation. As more of our interaction with libraries happens digitally, interfaces and tools for access have become increasingly important. An important issue for digital libraries is how to provide users with improved access to materials. We have big data -- how can we help scholars use those resources to make new discoveries in their own fields? The organizers of the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2016 invite paper submissions. This year, we particularly invite papers that propose new access methods for digital libraries, develop technologies for analyzing holdings, and that report on innovative uses of digital libraries for discovery and exploration in science, art, and the humanities. We encourage paper submissions that relate to the conference theme, but the program will not be limited to this area. Paper authors may choose between two formats: Full papers and short papers. Both formats will be rigorously peer reviewed. Complete papers are required -- abstracts and incomplete papers will not be reviewed. All papers must be original contributions. The material must therefore not have been previously published or be under review for publication elsewhere. Both formats will be included in the proceedings and will be presented at the conference. Full papers: ------------ * At most 10 pages * Report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone. * Typically will be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion Short papers: ------------- * At most 4 pages * Highlight efforts that might be in an early stage, but are important for the community to be made aware of, can also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space * Typically will be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion All accepted papers will be published by ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. Important dates: ---------------- (all deadlines at 11:59 PM Hawaii Std. Time on the date) Submission deadline: January 24, 2016 Notification of acceptance: March 16, 2016 Submission details: ------------------- The paper should use the ACM Proceedings template,located at: http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html Paper submissions are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page. Please see the conference home page http://www.jcdl2016.org/ for instructions. For more information: If you have questions, please contact the JCDL 2016 program co-chairs: Richard Furuta (furuta@cs.tamu.edu) and Michele Weigle (mweigle@cs.odu.edu) About JCDL: ----------- JCDL is a major international forum focusing on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, organizational, and social issues. JCDL encompasses the many meanings of the term digital libraries, including (but not limited to) new forms of information institutions and organizations; operational information systems with all manner of digital content; new means of selecting, collecting, organizing, distributing, and accessing digital content; theoretical models of information media, including document genres and electronic publishing; and theory and practice of use of managed content in science and education. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2016 22:25:56 +0000 From: Ray Siemens Subject: CFP How to Do Things With Millions of Words (Vancouver, 2-4 November 2016) Please find the attached CFP (applications due June 30th) for the upcoming Digital Humanities Workshop co-presented by Green College (UBC), The Early Modern Conversions Project (McGill), and the Cultural Evolution of Religion Research Consortium (UBC), to be held at the University of British Columbia, November 2 - 4, 2016.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 06:59:17 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: subtle influences Andrew's relaying of negative experiences with one thing in the Internet of things brings to mind a now common form of crowdsourcing and, it seems, a reliance on informal statistics. It seems evident from reviews that many people can make a mess of nearly any gadget, misread the instructions (which are sometimes rather poorly thought out and written), misunderstand the subtleties of its purpose, fail to engage in the reciprocal adjustments between user and used that digital devices seem often to demand -- and then go on to write damning reviews. The strategy I've adopted is to look for the majority opinion and use that to determine where the most frequently reported fault is manifested, in the device or in the user of it. Not a subject under the Big Tent perhaps. But what is, I'd argue, there are two items of interest for us. The first is the sourcing and sifting of opinions and experiences from the world-wide crowd to which we now have access. (Has this become the majority experience of democracy? How far does this influence go?) The second is, again, the loop into which digital devices are particularly adept in tempting us to enter, adapting to an adaptable device. The genius of cybernetics.

Registration will open in February and is required. Featured speakers include: - Dorothy Kim - Alex Gil - Radhika Gajjala - Hoyt Long Digital humanities has developed in a range of disciplines and locations across the globe. Initially emergent from initiatives in textual encoding, database building, or critiques of design and media cultures, the field is increasingly drawn together. Present scholarship works at the intersections of what had been disparate approaches. Much digital humanities scholarship is driven by an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of histories, as well as present geographical and cultural positions. Projects that seek to bring grant resources from the West are often met with well-developed and challenging critiques emergent around the globe from communities deeply engaged in their own cultural preservation, as well as in building relationships with other similarly engaged scholars. This symposium, which will include an extended workshop and a mixture of presentation types, engages squarely with issues of power, access, and equity as they affect scholarship in the digital humanities. Invited speakers and local presenters at this two-day symposium will address how the interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities can and should speak to the global cultural record and the contemporary situation of our planet. Of particular interest is work relevant to or stemming from challenges in the Global South. The symposium seeks to strengthen networks of exchange among DH scholars nationally and internationally. Themes and topics of this symposium will include: - the practice of digital humanities across linguistic, economic, and technological divides - digital humanities in the light of current geopolitics - the environmental impacts of digital humanities research - the inflection of local accents in the practices and ethics of digital humanities Find out more about the symposium at http://msuglobaldh.org/about/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Specialist, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes@msu.edu --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 23:32:39 -0500 From: Elisa Beshero-Bondar Subject: CFP (due Feb 1): Keystone DH 2016 Conference (June 22-24) Dear colleagues, On behalf of the Keystone DH conference organizing committee for 2016, I'd like to invite you to submit a proposal to this welcoming and collegial conference.

And found rehearsed here... http://www.dinnerpartydownload.org/design-is-one/ Brendan Francis Newnam: So there's a scene in the film, it's a scene from your life, where you were designing plateware for Heller. You created this clever, minimal, plastic plateware that can stack and do things. There's a mug for hot coffee with a handle that you designed, and it's hard to describe this on the radio, but essentially, the handle was such that it acted like a gutter if you filled the coffee mug up too high. Massimo Vignelli: Yes, for putting your finger. Brendan Francis Newnam: Yeah, it's for putting your thumb, you can put it in this ridge, but if you filled up the cup too high, coffee would spill out of the ridge. You, being from European background, knew this was a demitasse cup, and this cup was not meant to be ever filled to the top, yet Americans fill up a cuppa joe, and they were spilling it.

With the handle the world approaches the vessel; with the spout the vessel reaches out into the world. Only in receiving its current through the handle and in yielding it again through the opening is the vessel fully integrated into human teleology. 272 best wishes davidz -- David Zeitlyn, Professor of Social Anthropology (research) Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography 51 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 6PF, UK. http://www.isca.ox.ac.uk/about-us/staff/academic/prof-david-zeitlyn/ http://www.mambila.info/ The Virtual Institute of Mambila Studies http://users.ox.ac.uk/~wolf2728/ Oct 2015 open access paper 'Looking Forward, Looking Back' now online.

In-Reply-To: <20160113072444.B4CE37D3B@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Talking of Cybernetics, homeostasis, and Nest, I found this news item illuminating. Nest thermostat bug leaves owners without heating Despite "domesticating machine learning" it seems these Nest thermostats don't have good homeostatic properties. How could they? The Internet of Things (IoT) and all things internet connected don't form good closed systems that can have the means of sustaining sufficient internal stasis to remain viable against external and internal perturbations and fluctuations. In this case an external perturbation has proved too much. The cause of the perturbation? Humans! Unintentionally, I'm sure, on this occasion, but not necessarily on other future occasions. What Cybernetics didn't demonstrate is how to build a machine with homeostatic properties and connected to a vast network of other machines also trying to be homeostatic. One machine's homeostatic action can result in a perturbation too far for another machine's homeostatic capacity. No amount of learning (machine or otherwise) can get you out of this mess. It needs, probably, something more like Maturana and Varela autopoiesis--a theory of living systems.

I am thinking about the initial problems with the Millennium Bridge in London. Structural engineers had not taken into account how people actually walk: This is from Wikipedia [my favorite digital age invention]: "Vibration was attributed to an under-researched phenomenon whereby pedestrians crossing a bridge that has a lateral sway have an unconscious tendency to match their footsteps to the sway, exacerbating it. The tendency of a suspension bridge to sway when troops march over it in step was well known, which is why troops are required to break step when crossing such a bridge.[4] Maybe crowd-sourcing has a similar tendency--opinion adapts to the sway of the crowd sourced. So it is not the ability to build bridges or collect big data that is the problem but a lack of understanding of the "loop," as Willard called it, the gap between what can be encoded and what is felt on the pulse which amplifies, distorts and eventually requires redesign if it is going to be useful as well as statistically significant.

[Our longstanding view of memory and remembering is in the midst of a profound transformation. This transformation does not only affect our concept of memory or a particular idea of how we remember and forget; it is a wider cultural process. In order to understand it, one must step back and consider what is meant when we say memory. The studies of this book offer such a perspective, synthesizing understandings of remembering from the neurosciences, humanities, social studies, and in key works of autobiographical literature and life-writing. Brockmeier’s conclusions force us to radically rethink our very notion of memory as an archive of the past, one that suggests the natural existence of a distinctive human capacity (or a set of neuronal systems) enabling us to "encode," "store," and "recall" past experiences. Propelled by new scientific insights and digital technologies, a new picture is emerging. It shows that there are many cultural forms of remembering and forgetting, embedded in a broad spectrum of human activities and artifacts. This picture is more complex than any notion of memory as storage of the past would allow. It comes with a number of alternatives to the archival memory, one of which Brockmeier describes as the narrative approach. The narrative approach not only permits us to explore the storied weave of our most personal form of remembering - that is, the autobiographical- it also sheds new light on the interrelations among memory, self and culture.] The event will take place at King’s College London, Franklin-Wilkins Building (Room 1.11), map: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/campuses/waterloo/Waterloo.aspx Programme 3.30 – 5.00pm Panel Between the individual and the social: Panel on Cultural Memory Participants: Molly Andrews, Alessandra Fasulo, Alexandra Georgakopoulou, Ann Phoenix, Linda Sandino 5.00pm Book Launch Beyond the Archive: Memory, Narrative, and the autobiographical Process Presentation by Jens Brockmeier 5.30pm Reception Reception We look forward to seeing you there. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2016 13:12:47 +0100 From: Geoffrey Rockwell Subject: Replaying Japan 2016 Apologies for cross-posting: This is a friendly reminder that the submission deadline of January 20th for Replaying Japan 2016 in August in Leipzig is fast approaching. Geoffrey Rockwell ----- Replaying Japan 2016: 4th International Japan Game Studies Conference “From Pac-Man to the present: Japanese Games between the local and global” The 4th International Conference on Japan Game Studies will be held at Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany, from August 15 to 17 2016. Proposals in Japanese are most welcome! <日本語での発表要旨も受け付けます。> This conference is organized as a collaboration between the Japanese Studies Department and the Japan Games Research Initiative at Leipzig University, the Ritsumeikan Center for Game Studies and the University of Alberta. The conference is the fifth collaboratively organized event focusing broadly on Japanese game culture, education and industry. It aims to bring together a large range of researchers and creators from a broad range of different country to present and exchange their work. Japanese video games have had great influence on gaming cultures around the world. During this conference, we will continue our efforts to look at the origins of Japanese gaming culture, placing a special focus on the birth and life of Pac-Man, and think about its interaction with global gaming culture and the role of localization. We especially invite researchers and students to submit papers and poster/demonstration proposals that are related to Pac-Man or issues of localization. We also invite a broad range of posters/demonstrations and papers dealing with game culture, education and games and the Japanese game industry from the perspectives of humanities, social sciences, business or education. We encourage poster/demonstration proposals of games or interactive projects. The range of possible topics includes (but is not limited to): Pac-Man and its legacy Localization of games Cross cultural study of games and toys East Asian Game Culture and Market Assessment of educational aspects of games Preservation of games and game culture Understanding player culture Close readings of specific games Comparative study of specific titles Game theory Game design Game industry (in Japan and transnationally) Marketing and financing the games industry Games and transmedia phenomena Games of chance Please send anonymized abstracts of no more than 500 words in English or Japanese via email to > before January 20, 2016. Figures, tables and references, which do not count towards the 500 words, may be included on a second page. The following information should be in the accompanying email message: Type of submission (poster/demonstration or paper): Title of submission: Name of author(s): Affiliation(s): Address(es): Email address(es): Notification of acceptance will be sent out by February 28, 2016. While the language of this conference will be English, Abstracts, Posters and PowerPoint slides will be translated into both languages and communication assistance will be available for those who can’t present in English. We are working towards securing travel grants for graduate students and hope to provide more information in due time. The conference will be held just before GAMESCOM, possibly the world’s largest interactive entertainment trade fair held in Cologne, Germany, from August 17 to 21 – Consider adding a day after the conference to visit the fair. We hope to provide information on visiting the fair from Leipzig soon. For more information write to >. Jérémie Pelletier-Gagnon Replaying Japan 2016 --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2016 16:01:54 +0000 From: Kapil Subramanian Subject: Workshop on Interwar Telecommunications History, 29th January, University of Leeds Dear all, It is now well recognized that the First World War had a deep impact on the technology and practice of telecommunications. However, beyond the broadest contours, not enough is known about the complex and multifaceted nature of that impact or about the evolution of telecommunications between the wars. Seeking to bring together diverse international perspectives that explore civilian and military telecommunications (and the links in between) in the interwar period, we've organized a day long workshop at the University of Leeds on Friday, the 29th of January. With papers on topics ranging from British Army communications, civilian-military knowledge sharing, the birth of broadcasting and the geopolitics of wireless in the South Pacific, the workshop promises to be of great interest to historians of technology and communications. For further details and to attend, email me at K.Subramanian@leeds.ac.uk . Below are some of the papers to be presented: 1. Interwar line communication in the British Army (Martin Skipworth, Royal Signals Museum). 2. The Birth of British Broadcasting and the start of the Civil Aviation Industry (Tim Wander, Marconi Heritage Group) 3. An archaeological approach to understanding wireless communications during the First World War (Jane Phimester, Oxford Archaeology) 4. Knowledge Sharing and Technical Communities in Telecommunications in Interwar Britain (Elizabeth Bruton, Museum of History of Science, Oxford) 5. How Wireless made the War Global: World War I beyond an Anglo-Centric Perspective (Heidi Tworek, University of British Columbia). 6. Wireless and Empire Ambition: Wireless telegraphy/telephony in the colonial South Pacific (Martin Hadlow, University of Queensland). 7. International radiocommunication maps in 1920s (Maria Rikitianskaia, University of Lugano). Thanking You, Yours Sincerely, Kapil Subramanian Postdoctoral Fellow in Telecommunications History School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science University of Leeds. _______________________________________________ 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 BC39E7DF8; Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:12:48 +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 A8AA87DF5; Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:12:47 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 40A637DEE; Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:12:46 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160120071246.40A637DEE@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 08:12:46 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.637 revealing analogies 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: <20160120071248.31680.2304@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 637.

Below is some of the literature we made use of: Gentner, Dedre, and Michael Jeziorski. “The Shift from Metaphor to Analogy in Western Science.” In Metaphor and Thought, edited by A. Ortony and B. Gholson, 2nd ed., 447–80. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993. Here Dedre and Jeziorski differentiate with examples between the looser use of metaphors in 'pre-scientific' endeavours to what one would describe as the rigorous explanatory and heuristic use of analogies in modern science. Some concrete examples are cited by Hoffman who built on others (principally the work of Mary Hesse) in theorising the use of metaphors in science as well as pedagogy; e.g. see: Hoffman, Robert R. “Some Implication of Metaphor for Philosophy and Psychology of Science.” In The Ubiquity of Metaphor Metaphor in Language and Thought, edited by Wolf Paprotté and René Dirven, 327–80. Amsterdam: John Benjamins Pub. Co., 1985. Or also the chapter for 'Cognition and figurative language' by Honeck and Hoffman available online: http://cmapsinternal.ihmc.us/rid=1197480436708_369198822_9945/Metaphor%2520in%2520Science%25201979.pdf A more recent overview (also building on Mary Hesse) but more theoretical and lacking real examples is: Sangoi, Massimo. “Features and Functions of Scientific Metaphors.” Edited by Francesca Ervas and Massimo Sangoi. Metaphor and Argumentation, Isonomia - Epistemologica, 5 (2014): 75–114. This is in depth analysis and cognitive model of multiple analogies inclusive of examples from diverse domains of knowledge: Shelley, Cameron. Multiple Analogies in Science and Philosophy. Amsterdam; Philadelphia: John Benjamins Pub. Co., 2003. http://public.eblib.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=622879. In terms of example this was the most useful for me to make possible comparisons with what we might call metaphoric modelling in Digital Humanities: Wolynes, Peter G. “Landscapes, Funnels, Glasses, and Folding: From Metaphor to Software.” Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society 145, no. 4 (2001): 555–63. Recently I re-read an article on Father Busa by Marco Passarotti, where he quotes a metaphor he used to explain his research method (no specific original source unfortunately, but we discussed this and we might be able to retrieve it). I realise this is not what you are looking for, Willard, but I think it might be interesting for this list: "From his frequent and rigorous consultation of scientific journals, Father Busa would often remark that most research in the Humanities consisted of a mile of algorithms based on a mere inch of foundation. He contrasted this with the methodology he employed throughout his career. As was his habit, he explained it with a metaphor. On a foundation a mile long, he would raise the research by an inch along the whole mile length. He would then proceed to raise the level by a further inch along the whole length of the mile, and so on. All the evidence provided by each level of analysis was taken into consideration before moving on to the next level – this one slightly more advanced than the preceding one. According to Father Busa, only in this way was it possible to provide a solid basis for research conclusions." (pp.18-19) The reference to the full article is: Passarotti Marco, One Hundred Years Ago.

Librarians are playing ever more integral roles in the Digital Humanities research lifecycle. Librarians contribute concretely to the conception, development, dissemination, preservation, and curation of digital humanities research. These activities often require collaborations between librarians working in a diverse range of roles including but not limited to subject liaisons, digital humanities and digital scholarship librarians, metadata librarians, and digital curation librarians. We invite presentation proposals based on first-hand experiences dealing with a wide array of data formats, tools, methods, and digital platforms utilized in Digital Humanities research, and placed in the context of the latest research literature. By focusing discussion on practical challenges and solutions, it is our hope that your presentations will provide the library community with strategies that can be cross-purposed to a wide range of institutional contexts. When crafting your proposal, please consider focusing on one or more of these learning outcomes: 1. Participants will learn how to identify the stages of a Digital Humanities research project in order to better collaborate with researchers. 2. Participants will learn about the use of data in Digital Humanities research in order to identify data curation needs. 3. Participants will learn how to identify the skills they need to engage in Digital Humanities research. 4. Participants will learn how to identify Digital Humanities research collaborators in the library. Proposals should be no longer than 400 words, and can be submitted here: Proposal submission form: bit.ly/dhlifecycle http://bit.ly/dhlifecycle Proposals are due on February 12, 2016. Notice of acceptance will be sent by February 17, 2016. If you have questions, please contact Thomas Padilla at tpadilla@mail.lib.msu.edu.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the two types of paper. Chris Leslie > International Communities of Invention and Innovation > IFIP Working Group 9.7 Conference > NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering, Brooklyn, NY > 25-29 May 2016 > > Analog and digital computers were developed by individuals aware of an > international scientific community. Likewise, although sometimes thought of > as solely national projects, the first computer networks were built in an > age of growing interconnectivity among nations. This meeting of IFIP > Working Group 9.7 in New York City gathers historians and other > professionals to reflect on histories that foreground the international > community. Participants with an interest in this historical context for > computers and computer networks may present academic papers or join in > roundtable discussions. > > In accordance with this theme, we hope to blur the dichotomy between core > and periphery and complicate simplistic notions of linear technological > progress. Far from a deterministic view that computers and computer > networks were developed in isolation and according to their own technical > imperatives, we will show the history of pre-existing relationships and > communities that led to the triumphs (and dead ends) in the history of > computing. This broad perspective will help us to tell a more accurate > story of important developments like the Internet, to be sure, but also it > will provide us with a better understanding of how to sponsor future > invention and innovation. > > At the conference, we seek to foster a conversation about internationalism > in the history of computers and computer networks along four broad themes: > > 1. Invention: > • communities where analog computers were developed > • communication about and competition for early devices > • innovations brought in from the supposed periphery > • failed, forgotten, or thwarted efforts to develop > networks or industries > > 2. Policy: > • trade and treaties supporting computers and networks > • organizations like IFIP with a mission to promote > collaboration > • long trajectories of digital divides > • case studies revealing ethical considerations > • cross-national comparisons of gender or ethnic diversity > in industry and education > > 3. Infrastructure: > • communication and data networks before the Internet > • development and diffusion of TCP/IP > • connectivity efforts before NSFNET, NSFNET, and beyond > • resistance to and success of the WorldWideWeb > > 4. Social History: > • differences and similarities in international impacts > on general society > • antecedents (Wells's World Brain) and visions (Human-Nets's > WorldNet) > • individuals who championed connections between nations > • historiography of internationalism in computing > • representations of international computing communities > in film or literature > > It is hoped that the conference will be of interest to a broad range of > people who study computing and computer networks, including academic > scholars and graduate students, but also those who have a professional or > technical interest in computing. Accordingly, there are two ways to > participate: > > 1. Academic Papers > > For consideration, please submit your draft paper via the conference > website (http://wp.nyu.edu/ifip_wg97/). Enquires are welcome in advance > of your submission (wg9.7conference@nyu.edu). Draft papers will be > circulated before the conference in order to encourage a meaningful > discussion. At the conference, each selected participant will be allotted > time to present an overview of his or her paper. It is our intention to > publish selected conference papers in an anthology by Springer, and > hopefully the conference feedback will be useful as presenters complete > their final drafts. > > 2. Roundtable Discussions > > In order to welcome technical professionals and others who may not desire > to prepare a full paper, the conference will also feature roundtables of > 10–15 minute, relatively informal presentations related to the conference > theme. These presentations could focus on key figures, historical > anecdotes, or observations on particular projects. We hope that these > roundtables will spark lively conversation and, perhaps, generate research > partnerships between historians and technical professionals. For > consideration, send a 250-word summary of the topic and your interest in it > via the conference website (http://wp.nyu.edu/ifip_wg97/). Enquires are > welcome in advance of your submission (wg9.7conference@nyu.edu). > > The conference will be held at New York University's Polytechnic School of > Engineering in MetroTech Center, Brooklyn, New York 11201. About 20 minutes > away by subway from NYU's Greenwich Village location, MetroTech Center is > located in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn and within walking distance of > the Brooklyn Bridge as well as the iconic neighborhoods of DUMBO, Fort > Greene, and Brooklyn Heights. In order to help make the conference more > affordable, we will offer accommodations in the school's dormitory, > adjacent to the conference venue, at a competitive price for those who do > not wish to stay in a nearby hotel. > Further details will be made available at http://wp.nyu.edu/ifip_wg97/ > > About IFIP WG 9.7: IFIP, the International Federation for Information > Processing, was founded in 1960.

I've just uploaded to my website a copy of the recent CACM column I wrote with Mark Priestley. This is a kind of sequel to our previous "Innovators Assemble" (now approaching 10,000 downloads), but with a more technical focus. We wrote that Ada Lovelace's table of operations was not, when looked at closely, a computer program. This, and our current investigation of Colossus as a "programmable computer," made us realize that the concepts of program and programmability have not been very carefully defined in the current historical literature. The main exception has been David Alan GrierÂ’s short articles in Annals on the linguistic origins of "program" in the ENIAC project, with which we find ourselves in general but not complete agreement. The new article, "Where Code Comes From: Architectures of Automatic Control from Babbage to Algol" tries to link the concept of "program" in computing to its broader meaning as a sequence of things done over time (as in a program of study, a concert program, or a washing machine program). The analysis includes both a recapitulation of the early history of automatic computing from this viewpoint and a discussion of the adoption of the terms"program" and "programming." You can find the article in the ACM Digital Library at http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2846088 If you do not have access, there's an unsecured copy at http://www.tomandmaria.com/Tom/Writing/WhereCodeComesFromCACM.pdf Best wishes, Tom _______________________________________________ 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 0A1F47E0E; Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:14:38 +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 219CF7E06; Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:14:38 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 083247E06; Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:14:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160121091435.083247E06@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 21 Jan 2016 10:14:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.642 revealing analogies 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: <20160121091438.14529.22668@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 642.

They are valuable for the initiate as well as the non-expert, and they inspire me to quote from a text Octavio Paz wrote for his 'Los Hijos del Limo' (Barcelona, 1974): "Analogy is the metaphor in which otherness dreams itself as unity and the difference conceives itself illusionarily as identity." I'm translating here from the German translation, because I don't have the Spanish original at hand, this process perhaps itself being a revealing sidenote about the efficacy and the tragedy of analogy and metaphor. One might also confront heuristic metaphoric modelling with Hans Blumenberg's metaphorology (Archiv für Begriffsgeschichte. Band 6 [1960], S. 5–142) where he identifies 'absolute metaphors' that escape logicity as 'basic ingredients of philosophical language' and burdens to objectivity.

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/ DHCommons will 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. 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. Attempts will be made to select submissions in line with the theme of the overall issue, digital diversity. DHCommons Journal's concept of “diversity” includes diversity in project language, staff, academic subject, or goals, among other possibilities. DHCommons Journal invites submissions in a wide variety of languages. DHCommons Journal has an International Advisory Board and will work with authors to find reviewers in the language of submission whenever possible. Examples of previously published work: Fred Gibbs, "Editorial Sustainability and Open Peer Review at Programming Historian" Caitlin Christian-Lamb and Sara Sikes, "How Did They Make That: The Adams Timeline" Submissions are due April 1, 2016 For more information visit: https://t.co/fGSpuS8tLH Thomas G.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 23:15:36 +0000 From: Andrew Russell Subject: CfP Media, Communication and Nostalgia (Media & Time) - Special Issue Media, Communication and Nostalgia: "you'll have to wait till yesterday is here" Call for submissions Medien und Zeit (Media and Time) Nostalgia is booming. People recollect and embrace media formats and communication technologies of their childhood. We witness a revival of vinyl records and how media design adopts new products to the vintage appeal of old media technologies. TV dramas, music styles, advertisements and product design alike are flirting with the charms and lifestyles of the past. We decorate our apartments with vintage furniture and rediscover retro-drinks and retro-fashion. People share memories about past media practices, commodity brands and other everyday experiences from romanticized pasts to communicate and identify who they are today, and where and how they belong. The recent hype about nostalgia however is more than just mere fascination for the past in a variety of cultural spheres and contexts. It hints to more profound social and cultural developments: Memory - nostalgic or otherwise - is not neutral but carries biases regarding political orientations, social norms, and cultural values. It bears an inherently social dimension. This special issue thus invites original articles (4000 - 6000 words), which address nostalgia, through, by and towards media and in various communicative contexts and ask for the potential role of nostalgia as a seismograph of cultural and political sentiment. Media can serve as vessels, addressees and also lenses through which people look at fond memories; they can amplify as well as deafen nostalgia and memory. In research nostalgia has widely been conceptualized as a common element of individual and collective engagement with the past related to experiences of loss, lack and longing. Recent publications in media and communication studies, history, sociology and social psychology commenced exploring social and historical implications, origins and influences of individual and collective nostalgic attitudes, emotions and practices. Thereby they aim to extend the scope of research beyond individual emotional states or aesthetics of nostalgic media contents and to thus emphasize the social implications and consequences of and influences on nostalgia. The issue aims to contribute to understanding the role of nostalgia for constructing and sharing individual/collective memories and official/alternative histories. Theoretical contributions and empirical case studies are welcome. Topics to be addressed by the issue include but are not limited to questions like: *_Nostalgia & Theory: _* - The study of nostalgia is a transdisciplinary project. What can we learn from existing concepts, categorizations and typologies of nostalgia? How can they be used for media related questions? Is a specific understanding of nostalgia in the context of media and communication studies required? What do concepts of nostalgia have in common, where do they differ? What could alternative or critical concepts be like? - What are communalities and peculiarities of concepts such as mediated nostalgia, mediatized nostalgia and media nostalgia: How are media (technologies) and nostalgic memories interrelated? Why and how do media themselves become objects of nostalgic longing? - Nostalgia is not an exclusive mode of memorization: How is nostalgia related to other modes of constructing personal or collective memories and engagements with the past. *_Nostalgia & Media _* - What role does nostalgia play for production, commodification, distribution, and exchange of narratives and mnemonic objects in domains of public/social communication, from mass communication to popular culture? - How has nostalgia in media (contents) changed over the course of media history? What were people/media nostalgically longing for in different periods and given different contemporary contexts and challenges? *_Nostalgia & Technology_* - Nostalgia can be directed towards certain old media technologies. Why do some people try to keep "dead media" alive? How is nostalgia towards old media expressed, why are some past technologies like the music juke box, video game platforms and others still so appealing? Is there a promise of authenticity in some media? How do media technologies serve as portals to a personal or historical past? Can media technologies themselves "be" nostalgic? - Digital media practices can contribute to nostalgia in, through and towards media in many ways. Digital artefacts themselves can be the target of nostalgic sentiment and platforms to share memories and connect with others: Which features of nostalgia do we find in a digital memory culture? How does the connective potential of digital communication enable community formation and identity building among individuals with shared political, cultural or economic interests? *_Nostalgia & Community_* - How does nostalgia for media or communication technologies contribute to community formation and establishing a sense of belonging in communities (e.g. retro Gamers, children of the 70s, and so forth). - What role does nostalgia play for media practices and experiences in families and other social formations, subcultures, scenes or even activist groups and social movements? How are media experiences shared between generations or across cultures and countries? *_Nostalgia & Society_* - Where does nostalgia take us to? Are nostalgic memories anchored in the national or local histories and cultures or can we observe a transnational exchange of favorite pasts that return as ideal models of life. Are nostalgic narratives implicitly conservative or even reactionary or can they also be progressive? - How is nostalgia instrumentalized in political communication, for political goals or social activism? What role do media memories (content, technologies, practices) play for the articulation of nostalgia for past political systems or regimes (E.g Ostalgie as nostalgia for the GDR or nostalgia for the and in the former Soviet Union) or for envisioning future states of society?

Also this year the German Accademic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers very generous support to up to 17 alumni / alumnae of German universities. The Summer University takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. 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 programm will soon be announce at *http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/* 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). For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology”: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available.

The registration deadline is March 11, but the workshop may fill before then. For more information and to register, please visit: http://www.wwp.northeastern.edu/outreach/seminars/ *********************** Introduction to XSLT Northeastern University, March 17-18, 2016 Cost: $450/$300 for TEI members and students Registration deadline: March 11, 2016 http://www.wwp.northeastern.edu/outreach/seminars/ XSLT is a crucial tool for those working with the TEI, both as a key part of any XML publication system and also as a technology for manipulating and managing XML data. As a programming language that can be used to transform XML data into other formats, it is immensely powerful and also comparatively approachable for those already familiar with XML. This seminar will provide participants with an understanding of the essential concepts of XSLT, focusing on examples and use cases from TEI data in the humanities. Familiarity with TEI and XML is assumed but no prior experience with XSLT is necessary. We hope to see you in Boston! best wishes, Julia Julia Flanders Director, Women Writers Project Digital Scholarship Group, Northeastern University Library _______________________________________________ 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 0956B7E2F; Sat, 23 Jan 2016 08:04:16 +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 54AAC7E2B; Sat, 23 Jan 2016 08:04:16 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 78F517E2A; Sat, 23 Jan 2016 08:04:13 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160123070413.78F517E2A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 23 Jan 2016 08:04:13 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.651 pubs: Biblical studies; material culture; diagrammatic reasoning 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: <20160123070416.397.62234@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 651.

Scope: This workshop focuses on the challenges and opportunities of data-driven humanities and seeks to bring together world-leading scientists and scholars at the forefront of this emerging field, at the interface between computer science, social science, humanities and mathematics. As historical knowledge becomes increasingly available in forms that computers can process, this data becomes amenable to large-scale computational analysis and interpretation. what are the impacts for humanities, social sciences, computer science and complex systems? Perhaps mathematical analysis of the dynamic, evolutionary patterns observed in the data helps us to better understand the past and can even produce empirically-grounded predictions about the future. We seek * computer scientists and digital humanities experts to introduce technologies and tools they have applied in order to extract knowledge from historical records in a form that can be processed by computers without losing its meaningfulness. * scientists working at the forefront of mathematical and theoretical analysis of historical data, to describe what is possible with current tools. * Keynote speaker: Prof. Harvey Whitehouse, University of Oxford, UK - Understanding Social Complexity through Data *Important dates: Full Paper submission due: 31 March 2016 Acceptance Notification: 30 April 2016 Camera ready deadline: 13 May 2016 Date of the workshop: 25th May 2016 * Topics of interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Ontologies and linked data vocabularies for historical data - Data curation for research in the humanities and social sciences - Data visualisation for the humanities and social sciences - Constructing big data for research in the humanities - Text- and data-mining of historical and archival material. - data-driven transdisciplinary research - data-driven historical macrosociology - data-driven cultural and social evolution - data-driven economic history/cliometrics - mathematical modeling of long-term social processes - construction and analysis of historical datasets *Highlights: All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through IFIP Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.

Another interdisciplinary field under thread and not even a small one. If you know the group and feel you would like support the colleagues fighting against the closure, please read Stefanie’s mail and sign the petition. Thanks Andrea > From: SIGMETRICS on behalf of Stefanie Haustein > Date: Saturday 23 January 2016 at 15:20 > To: "SIGMETRICS@mail.asis.org" > Subject: [Sigmetrics] Online petition and support letters to prevent closure of Department of Information Science at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf Dear colleagues, we were informed this week that the dean of the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Düsseldorf intends to close the Department of Information Science in the next faculty council meeting on Tuesday, 26 January. The reason for closure is the need to economize and to cut a professor's position at the level of the Philosophical Faculty (12 institutes, 10,000 students). However, unlike at other institutes, the cut of a professor in information science would entail the closure of the whole department, affecting four degree programs, more than 10 university lecturers and almost 1,000 students, as Prof. Stock is the only full information science professor in Düsseldorf. The imminent closure represents a great loss not only for the greater field of information science but also for bibliometrics research and education. Bibliometrics and scientometrics are inherent parts of the curriculum in Düsseldorf. Alumni, doctoral students as well as BA and MA students frequently present their research at international conferences such as ISSI, STI and the ASIS&T SIG/MET workshop. Information science students from Düsseldorf also play a role in bibliometric analyses for research funders and universities, as the research center in Jülich involves them in bibliometric contract work. I consider the planned closure short-sighted, ill-conceived and disastrous for information science and bibliometric education and research in Germany and Europe. As an alumna and visiting lecturer I strongly oppose the dean's decision to cut Prof. Stock's position and close the department and kindly ask for your support: The student body has started an online petition to protest against the closure, which has already gathered more than 600 signatures: change.org/saveIWS My colleagues Dirk Lewandowski, Isabella Peters, Jasmin Schmitz, Violeta Trkulja and Katrin Weller have issued a request for support letters from the community to the university president and the dean to convince them to stop the intended closure. An English translation of their open letter can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19Mm1Fli724z05miSdsh2n6q910SlqvhxsJXCUoB2520/edit?usp=sharing Please help us to protest against the closure of the Department of Information Science by signing the petition, writing a letter and sharing this information with your colleagues.

All the best, Ian *************** CFP: 2nd International Workshop on Computational History and Data-Driven Humanities http://kdeg.scss.tcd.ie/2nd-international-workshop-computational-history-and-data-driven-humanities This workshop is an IFIP Joint Event supported by the IFIP Working Group 12.7 on Social Semantics and Collective Intelligence (http://www.ifip.org/bulletin/bulltcs/memtc12.htm#wg127). Scope: This workshop focuses on the challenges and opportunities of data-driven humanities and seeks to bring together world-leading scientists and scholars at the forefront of this emerging field, at the interface between computer science, social science, humanities and mathematics. As historical knowledge becomes increasingly available in forms that computers can process, this data becomes amenable to large-scale computational analysis and interpretation. what are the impacts for humanities, social sciences, computer science and complex systems? Perhaps mathematical analysis of the dynamic, evolutionary patterns observed in the data helps us to better understand the past and can even produce empirically-grounded predictions about the future. We seek * computer scientists and digital humanities experts to introduce technologies and tools they have applied in order to extract knowledge from historical records in a form that can be processed by computers without losing its meaningfulness. * scientists working at the forefront of mathematical and theoretical analysis of historical data, to describe what is possible with current tools. * Keynote speaker: Prof. Harvey Whitehouse, University of Oxford, UK - Understanding Social Complexity through Data *Important dates: Full Paper submission due: 31 March 2016 Acceptance Notification: 30 April 2016 Camera ready deadline: 13 May 2016 Date of the workshop: 25th May 2016 * Topics of interest: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Ontologies and linked data vocabularies for historical data - Data curation for research in the humanities and social sciences - Data visualisation for the humanities and social sciences - Constructing big data for research in the humanities - Text- and data-mining of historical and archival material. - data-driven transdisciplinary research - data-driven historical macrosociology - data-driven cultural and social evolution - data-driven economic history/cliometrics - mathematical modeling of long-term social processes - construction and analysis of historical datasets *Highlights: All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through IFIP Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.

Schroeder" (23) Subject: Senior hire in New Media/Digital Media at U of the Pacific --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 21:14:19 +0000 (UTC) From: Tom Brughmans Subject: CAA call for six Scientific Committee posts and four CAA committee posts Call for candidates for six open Scientific Committee posts and four open CAA committee posts Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) invites applications for one of six open Scientific Committee posts. We also remind CAA members of our previous call for four open steering committee posts: outreach officer, treasurer, publication officer, bursary and student/low income officer. From 2016 CAA will have a scientific committee to oversee the scientific quality of work presented at its conferences over the coming years. The work of the scientific committee will concern exclusively the scientific quality of the sessions, papers and posters. Candidates do not have to be current CAA members but have experience with the CAA community and conferences. Candidates must express an interest in the posts before 29 February 2016 by sending a CV and motivational statement demonstrating their experience with the CAA conferences to the CAA secretary. The tasks of the scientific committee are listed below. Please contact the CAA secretary if additional information is required. The current treasurer and publication officer will stand down at CAA2016 in Oslo, the outreach and the bursary and student/low income officers are two new posts. Candidates must be CAA members and applications by all CAA members will be considered. CAA encourages in particular applications from female and non-European CAA members. The tasks associated with these posts are given below. Candidates must express an interest in the posts before 29 February 2016 by sending a motivational statement and CV to the CAA secretary. Please contact the CAA secretary if additional information is required. To become a CAA member, please visit our website. CAA is a growing international community with an active membership of over 500 academics and professionals with a shared interest in archaeological computing. The CAA has organised annual international conferences since 1973 and has 14 national chapters spread across the globe. As an officer of CAA you will help carry on this strong tradition by coordinating CAA’s organisation throughout the year and by encouraging the continued growth of a diverse and inspiring community. The outreach officer is a steering committee (SC) post (ex-officio member of the executive steering committee [ESC]) that will be filled by the most appropriate candidate selected by the CAA ESC from all received applications. The other three are ESC Officer posts. ESC officers are elected by CAA members at the Annual General Meeting for terms of three years, and each officer may hold their post for up to two terms. It is then however possible to be elected for a different post. Candidates must be able to commit an estimated equivalent of three weeks of full-time work spread throughout the year to CAA business. Candidates must also be able to attend the yearly conference and an ESC meeting at the conference venue (or sometimes via Skype) usually in December/January before the conference (financial assistance is available for this pre-conference meeting but not for the conference itself). The election of officers for these three posts will happen by CAA members during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at CAA Oslo (29 March – 2 April 2016). If there are multiple candidates for a post, the candidates will be asked to give a short (2 minute) motivational statement at the AGM before the vote takes place.  Scientific committee (ScC)  Candidates for these posts have experience with the CAA community and conferences, but are not required to be CAA members at time of application. The ScC will consist of 13 individuals including a member of the local organising committee of the CAA conference and an ScC chair. The tasks of the ScC include: - The ScC is responsible for overseeing the scientific quality of session, paper and poster proposals, and has the final say on accepting or rejecting contributions. - The ScC and its chair will perform their tasks in a consistent and transparent manner - The role of the ScC is limited to the conference activities and it is not involved in the quality control of the publications (this is the responsibility of the Editorial Board). - The ScC chair is responsible for allocating tasks to ScC members, for coordinating the activities of the ScC with those of the local organiser, and for communicating with the ESC. - The local organiser is a member of the ScC and will communicate practical limitations of the conference (e.g. number of rooms, maximum number of parallel sessions, maximum number of sessions) with the ScC chair. - The ScC and its Chair will work according to the published responsibilities and guidelines as approved by CAA members at the AGM.  Candidates interested in applying for these posts should send a short motivational statement demonstrating their experience with the CAA conferences and a CV to the CAA secretary before 29 February 2016. Outreach (NEW CAA steering committee post) Candidates for this post will probably be young, creative and pro-active CAA members who have experience and interest in communication, social media, and outreach aimed at diversifying communities. The tasks of this new post will include: -          Actively encourage new areas of membership and the diversity of the CAA community -          Share news, deadlines, advertising of CAA on selected social media and the CAA website -          Responsible for all external communication of CAA, but not to the membership (which is done by the Membership Secretary) -          Advise local organisers of social media strategies -          Oversee our connection to and collaboration with other conferences and academic communities (UISPP, DH, TAG, WAC). Consultation on conference dates and venues with these communities -          Provide an annual report of activities Candidates interested in applying for this post should send a short motivational statement and a CV to the CAA secretary before 29 February 2016. Bursary and student/low income officer (NEW CAA executive steering committee post) The tasks of this new post will include: -          Coordinate student/low-income bursaries -          Chair the bursary committee -          Coordinate handing out of bursaries -          Coordinate Nick Ryan bursary -          Coordinate the student/low-income representation -          Liaise with local organisers regarding affordable fees/accommodation The creation of this new ESC post is subject to the acceptance of a modified CAA constitution incorporating this post, which will be proposed at and voted on during the Annual General Meeting in Oslo before the officer’s elections. Candidates interested in applying for this post should send a short motivational statement and a CV to the CAA secretary before 29 February 2016. Candidates are invited to get in touch with the current student/low income SC officer (John Pouncett, bursaries@caaconference.org) to find out more about the responsibilities and future duties. Treasurer (CAA executive steering committee post) The Treasurer deals with all financial activities of CAA, including: •                    Keeping a detailed overview of finances •                    All CAA related bills apart from those directly linked to conference organisation •                    Organise annual auditing •                    Managing bank accounts •                    Primary contact for financial information regarding CAA •                    Reporting all this to the officers and membership The treasurer is also a member of the bursary committee, which is responsible for deciding which applicants will receive bursaries to attend the conference. Any incoming bursary application is decided by this committee on the basis of a set of rules, which will be published on the CAA webpage. Candidates interested in applying for this post should send a short motivational statement and a CV to the CAA secretary before 29 February 2016. Candidates are invited to get in touch with the current treasurer (Axel Posluschny, treasurer@caa-international.org) to find out more about the responsibilities and future duties of the CAA treasurer. Publication officer (CAA executive steering committee post) The Publication Officer is responsible for ensuring and organizing the publication of the annual conference proceedings. S/he will be supported by an Editorial Board, consisting of other members of the SC, including co-opted ex officio members and the CAA Review College.

IliADS is project-based and team-based; it offers an opportunity for focused support of a digital project – your project – as you work alongside other colleagues and experts. ILiADS (ILiADS.org http://ILiADS.org ) offers participants a summer institute where they may develop projects as a team (faculty, student, librarian, technologist, other experts) and also interact with experts who can further their project goals. Unique to ILiADS and recognizing the role digital scholarship plays in undergraduate education, priority will be given to proposals that include student collaborators. Project proposals at any stage, idea through to implementation, are welcome. Our ILiADS Coaches http://iliads.org/iliads-coaches/ will guide project teams from the point at which their proposal is accepted to the end of the institute week. During the summer institute week, teams will spend significant time working on their projects and coaches will connect teams to experts in the digital methods and the technologies necessary for the teams to develop their project goals, processes, and outcomes. ILiADS 2015 participants described their experiences as, an opportunity to “focus as a project team” in the planning and development of digital teaching and/or research projects in a setting that “fills a gap in our current professional development milieu.” At ILiADS, ideas grow through collaborative, iterative processes. During this week, teams composed of some mix of researchers, librarians, technologists, and students are invited to build upon established digital pedagogy or research projects and/or launch new ones. Whether you’re learning how to clear significant hurdles or you’re just getting off of the ground, ILiADS’ Experts http://iliads.org/iliads-experts/ will consult with teams to advance their goals. Over the course of the week, team members will learn more about their own collaboration and how to sustain their project into the future. Projects of all types, and at any juncture, are welcomed. Submit your project proposal by February 22, 2016. Upon acceptance, an ILiADS Coach will be in touch to discuss the project ideas, expertise needs, and to answer questions on how to build a strong team. We have reached out to a group of vetted experts, but we are also open to bringing in other experts based on compelling needs of projects. Important Dates: * January 26, 2016: Call for Proposals * February 22, 2016: All project proposals due. (If you want preliminary feedback, please submit your proposal as early as possible.) * March 5, 2016: Notification of acceptance * March 25, 2016: Each project team will begin consulting with coaches * March 25, 2016: Registration begins * June 1, 2016: Registration closes. No registration refunds after June 5, 2016.

With best wishes, Sally Chambers and Catherine Jones On Behalf of the DH Benelux Programme Committee --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2016 09:22:08 +0100 From: Liesbeth De Mol Subject: First CfP HaPoP-3, Paris, 25 June 2016 Dear all, I hope the following CfP will be of interest to some of you, my very best wishes, Liesbeth CALL FOR PAPERS Third symposium for History and Philosophy of Programming June 25, 2016 CNAM, Paris, France www.hapoc.org/hapop3 /An affiliated event of CiE 2016 , Paris/ We are happy to announce the third Symposium for the History and Philosophy of Programming. This symposium follows the first http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/hapop12 and second http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/hapop2 editions which were organized in 2012 and 2014 respectively. It is supported by the DHST/DLMPS Commission on the History and Philosophy of Computing and the CNAM http://www.cnam.fr/ . One major challenge throughout the history of programming is the development of an interface between humans, software and hardware. It has been the task of the so-called operating system to: maintain a file system; regulate access to resources; synchronize operations; etc. Today, Operating Systems are usually equipped with Graphical User interfaces (GUI) designed to give the "user" a "friendly" experience thus hiding – and sometimes even rendering inaccessible – much of the underlying structure and features of the computing machinery. In which way is this changing our relation to machines and what the unintended epistemic consequences are, is still to be assessed. The aim of the current symposium is to offer an opportunity for historical and philosophical reflection on operating systems and the programs they coordinate. Our approach is interdisciplinarity and openness towards different fields relevant to HaPoC. We were and are strongly convinced that such trans- and interdisciplinarity is necessary if one wants to reflect on a discipline such as computer science with its multidimensional nature. The current symposium will be organized in a similar manner and invites researchers coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers, logicians and computer scientists who want to engage with topics relevant to the history and philosophy of programming and more specifically that of operating systems. Topics of the symposium include but are not restricted to historical and philosophical reflections on: • Origin, evolution and future of OSs • Design and Epistemology of User Interfaces • Principles of Data Access, Control and Sharing, especially in relation to OSs (e.g. the Bell-La Padula model) • Privacy and Security in OSs • Batch processing and time sharing systems • Models, problems and techniques of concurrency, parallelism and distributed systems • Open source vs corporate software • Programming paradigms and techniques (e.g. pair-programming) SUBMISSION DETAILS: We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the main topics of the symposium to submit an abstract of 500 words to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapop3 Abstracts must be written in English. Please note that the format of uploaded files must be .pdf or .doc. 
 In order to access the submission page, the creation of 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.

Journal of Scholarly Publishing Special Issue: Digital Publishing for the Humanities and Social Sciences Deadline: July 15, 2016 Send all submissions to: jsp@utpress.utoronto.ca Digital forms of scholarship present opportunities and challenges for scholarly publishers, who until recently have been used to defining their work as the production of books and journals in the material medium of print. Now that digital technology has liberated books and journals, as forms, from the necessary materiality of print, the forms of scholarship are being reimagined in ways that were previously not possible. For a special issue of the Journal of Scholarly Publishing, set to appear as volume 48, number 2 in January 2017, the coeditors invite submissions from those who are currently engaged in the promising but uncertain work of reimagining scholarship in digital forms. For scholarship designed indivisibly from the technology that enabled it or designed dually for digital and print distribution, publishers must work outside the traditional book. But the need to publish remains the same, if publishing means reviewing, authenticating, editing, archiving, curating, disseminating, and promoting scholarship for reception by the audience for which it was created. For anyone with insight or experience in how publishing works, or might work, in a digital medium, we welcome submissions. Anyone could include publishers, librarians, scholars, editors, designers, technologists, administrators, that is, anyone who works within the ecosystem of scholarly publishing. Suggested submissions include the following: * case studies of ventures, projects, and partnerships in digital publishing * reports of scholarly experimentation in digital forms and the process of making it public * discussions of peer review, editing, design, and production in digital workflows * recommendations for funding and sustainability of digital publications * empirical research on the reach and impact of digital publications * theoretical visions of how the digital medium changes the message of scholarship * assessments of the impacts, both positive and negative, of digital forms of publishing on the economic viability of publishers * studies of the impact of digital options on the distribution and marketing of humanities and social science scholarship * proposals for changes in the ways scholars, librarians, and publishers work together, both within and across these professional categories Submissions should be between 2,000 and 5,000 words, excluding references, tables, and figures. The coeditors and one outside referee will review all submissions, and those selected for publication will be sent back to the author(s) with queries for revision. Publication will be contingent on satisfactorily resolving all queries. Other specific requirements for the content and format of submissions, including references, are available here: http://www.utpjournals.press/journals/jsp/journal/authors.

The EADH brings together, and represents, the Digital Humanities in Europe. It includes the entire spectrum of disciplines that research, develop, and apply digital methods and technologies to the study of art, history, language, literature, music, archeology, etc. But what is the current situation of the field in Europe? And is it possible to document and promote access, use and collaboration between groups and universities? With the goal of gathering representative works, we have created a slider on our website that will showcase initiatives for a period of time: http://eadh.org/ For this reason we are looking for projects undertaken during the last three years that contribute meaningfully to Digital Humanities in Europe. If you want to add your Digital Humanities project to our website, please fill in our web submission form with a project description and your contact details: http://eadh.org/projects/submit-your-project At the moment submissions are accepted in English. All submissions will be reviewed by the EADH executive committee. Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details at rojas.castro.antonio@gmail.com All the best, -- Antonio Rojas Castro ​​ Communication Coordinator _______________________________________________ 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 AC5477E8E; Fri, 29 Jan 2016 07:53:36 +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 F18797E88; Fri, 29 Jan 2016 07:53:35 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4F8D87E7E; Fri, 29 Jan 2016 07:53:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160129065334.4F8D87E7E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2016 07:53:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.666 research assistant at Cork 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: <20160129065336.20442.71728@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 666.

Submission deadline 16 February 2016. Submissions via the conference website. http://eusn2016.sciencesconf.org/89651  Network analysis, be it inspired by sociology or physics, is making its way in historical and archaeological research on all periods and topics. Over the last decades, a substantial number of studies has shown that both network theories and network methods derived from other disciplines can be fruitfully applied to selected bodies of historical and archaeological data and go beyond the metaphorical use of network-related metaphors. However, most of this work has paid little attention to the specific challenges skills of historical and archaeological research, e.g. concerns with sources, missing data, data standardization, as well as the situation of networks in time and space. In recent years, a burgeoning community of historians and archaeologists have taken on these challenges and begun to adapt and develop formal network techniques to address the substantive questions and challenges key to their disciplines. This has been made possible thanks to collaboration and interaction with scholars from other disciplines.The aim of this session is to further develop this community by promoting contacts between the various disciplines that aim at making sense of past phenomena through methods derived from network analysis; and between the various geographic and language-based communities in Europe. We welcome papers on any period, geographical area, and substantive topic, using any network research method. The authors may by historians, archaeologists, as well as scholars from other disciplines. To be eligible, the proposals should: - Address and clearly formulate research questions concerning past phenomena. - Critically address issues related to the sources/materials/construction of data used. - Explain why it is substantively interesting to consider their topic in formal network terms (i.e. as ties between nodes), what the added value of such a view is, and what methodological choices it implies. Papers which address questions related to time or space in networks are encouraged but not a requirement. This call for papers is jointly issued by The Connected Past, Historical Network Research, and Res-Hist - but feel free to submit if you don't know any of these groups! It will be an opportunity to meet them. The working language for the conference will be English, but the organizers will be happy to help those who do not feel confident with their English during the discussions. Please note that the oral presentation will be short (ca. 15 minutes, as there will be at least 4 papers per 2-hour time slot, and we want to keep some time for discussion). The papers are not intended to be published together. Feel free to present either work in progress, so as to receive useful suggestions, or work that has already been published, but not in English or not widely circulated: the EUSN will allow a wider audience to discover your research. The proposals will be selected by: Tom Brughmans (University of Konstanz); Marten Düring (CVCE, Luxembourg); Pierre Gervais (University Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, Paris); Claire Lemercier (CNRS, Sciences Po, Paris). Proposals can be submitted via the conference website. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 18:23:01 +0100 From: Franz Fischer Subject: Registration now open - Programme of DiXiT Convention 2: 'Digital Editions: Academia, Cultural Heritage, Society', Cologne, 15-18 March Dear humanists, We are very pleased to announce the programme of the second DiXiT convention to be held in Cologne, 15-18 March 2016, 'Digital Editions: Academia, Cultural Heritage, Society'.

Carolus Clusius (1526-1609) was one of the central figures of the so-called botanical renaissance of the sixteenth century. His vast correspondence has already gained considerable attention from biologists and historians, but a complete edition was never realized. Huygens ING and the Scaliger Institute made a big step towards a complete digital edition of the Clusius correspondence by assembling and digitizing all existing transcriptions of the letters in eLaborate (an online transcription tool developed by Huygens ING). The work now includes metadata belonging to all known 1600 letters, scans of 1170 letters and transcriptions at different stages of completion of almost 1000 letters. Most of these are written by Clusius and a range of persons from all social layers with an interest in natural history, gardening, literature, travel, politics, religion and everyday life. Take a look at http://clusiuscorrespondence.huygens.knaw.nl/ http://clusiuscorrespondence.huygens.knaw.nl/edition/ . This web edition is not a scholarly edition in the traditional sense. Due to the many different sources of the (published and unpublished) transcriptions, the quality of the edition is not uniform. Furthermore, virtually no annotation has been added (yet). But by publishing this edition as a work-in-progress, we expect to offer an invaluable source that can be searched, improved and elaborated by everyone. Researchers and students are invited to browse and search the online edition and to join the project with new transcriptions, translations, improvements of existing transcriptions, annotations etc. Those interested are most welcome to join the Clusius Community 2.0 and to contribute to this edition!

The Library of Alexandria is well situated to accomplish this with your help as it was reborn in 2002 in the same spot it occupied since ancient times 3000 years ago. The new library is recapturing the spirit of the ancient library with the most modern technology of this new century to establish research across disciplines, and to improve research in Africa. The Ancient library brought together the most interesting minds of antiquity and encouraged them to mingle freely across cultures and disciplines we hope to do the same with you and other faculty. From this approach was born perhaps the most significant breakthroughs the world had seen. Aristarchus stated that the earth revolves around the sun, 1800 years before Copernicus. Euclid wrote his Elements of Geometry, which is the only text book still in use from ancient times. Library science, women in science, astronomy Chemistry today, owe much of their existence to the Library as the result of the interaction of thinkers in different disciplines bouncing ideas off of each other. We see now in this virtual world, this is indeed possible time for the Library to foster interdisciplinary and international research. We need to break out of our silos. We invite you to join the BA Grid The Library of Alexandria Global Grid of science will shortly have 2 million scientists. The library is indeed the world’s library as much of science sprang from Alexandria Besides the need for interdisciplinary research a critical problem in Africa, is that of the lack of research methods skills. Research methods is at the core of all science. We have built a research methods library of Alexandria. Here we have one of the largest research methods libraries, as well as the Encyclopedia of Life. Here we present 3 projects to which the library developed. We would love to have you join and be a part of history. American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting, Washington DC Drs.Vint Cerf (VP google), Ismael Serageldin (Head Library Alexandria) Faina Linkov (Associate Professor) and myself (Professor Emeritus) will be presenting about the Library of Alexandria Global Grid. We focus on the fostering of interdisciplinary collaboration and boosting African Science. We would like input from all of you, please come Sunday, February 14, 2016: 3:00 PM-4:30 PM, Wilson C(Marriot Wardman Park) BiovisionAlexandria 2016 April 12-14, 2016 Dr. Ismail Serageldin, the head of the Library of Alexandria hosts the Biovision Alexandria. This is an international event organized by the Bibliotheca Alexandria. It is gathering of leading scientists, faculty and students from the 4 corners of the world through rich discussions that commemorate science and the finest achievements of human intellect. The ultimate goal is to provide a platform for exchange to explore different ways of science. Biovision aims to increase participation of developing countries in the global dialogue. The BA is a key player in building bridges among scientists, industry, government, etc. It is a unique opportunity for North-South collaboration by bringing in new scientific knowledge to the South. The conference presents a unique opportunity for collaboration by sharing knowledge across all countries. The conference focuses on three major themes, Health, Food and Agriculture and Environment. Nobel prize winners mingle with Professors, and students across different disciplines, for this very rich and exciting meeting. I have been to 100s of scientific meetings in my life. This is the best. http://www.bibalex.org/biovisionalexandria/AboutUs/AboutBVA.aspx We will discuss at the meeting the Building of the Library of Alexandria Grid for interdisciplinary collaboration. We can also arrange for a personalized tour of the Library. Every scientists must see the birthplace of science and the pyramids. Research methods Library of Alexandria http://ssc.bibalex.org/helpdesk/introduction.jsf There are brilliant scientists in developing countries. However, still the numbers of articles coming from Africa and Developing countries is low, <2%. One of the major problems in the world is “Stataphobia”, this is the fear of statistics and not having access to experts. This is very important as 76% of rejected articles are due to inadequate research methods. Stataphobia occurs in almost every faculty member and student. In most developing countries there are many more clinicians, Lawyers and business people then there are experts in research methods. We have therefore created the research methods library of Alexandria where anyone can visit for free to answer statistical questions and learn about research methods. We would very much appreciate if you could tell your faculty and students about this. Come visit with us at the Library of Alexandria on April 12-14 where we discuss this If you would like to be a founding father for the Research methods Library of Alexandria and be listed with all of us, there are 2 beginning requirements. 1.Visit the research methods library of Alexandria at http://ssc.bibalex.org/helpdesk/introduction.jsf to see what research information is provided (this is expanding). 2.Tell at least 10 friends, faculty and students about the RMLA (already 500,000 have been sent the above information. We would appreciate if you shared this with your faculty and students Thanks so much, we hope to see you at AAAS,Biovision, and for you to be founding members. Ronald E.

If you (or someone you know) is interested in providing vision for the group's future, please email me with your nomination. http://digitalamericanists.unl.edu/wordpress/2016/01/24/new-board/ --Ryan Cordell *Nominate New Board for the Digital Americanists* Dear Colleagues, After a few years at the helm of the Digital Americanists, we three have agreed it is time for new leadership for the group. We were gratified to see the society grow and to organize several engaging sessions at the American Literature Association Conference during our tenure. We are grateful to all of you who have presented work or attended those sessions: DA is a wonderful community we are proud to have led. Due to other commitments, however, it has been difficult of late for us to give the Digital Americanists the time and attention it requires. We are eager to welcome a completely revamped board who can revitalize the society’s vision and activities. In the past the primary duty of the Digital Americanists board has been to plan 1-2 guaranteed sessions for each year’s ALA Conference, but we encourage the new board to consider expanding the society’s mandate to other conferences and activities. The group’s grounding in the ALA gathering has perhaps unnecessarily restricted a group named the Digital Americanists to include only American literature scholars. In short, we need creative thinkers with vision for what such a group might be in 2016. To that end, we would like to accept nominations for all three board positions: president, vice president, and treasurer. In the past these positions have rotated on a three year term, so that someone elected to be treasurer would serve in each position in turn. Given this wholesale restructuring, however, we might suggest that the first group elected agree to serve two years before resuming the rotation—but this could be settled by the new board after their election. To nominate someone for one of the society’s positions, please email Ryan Cordell at r.cordell@neu.edu by February 15, 2016. Sincerely, Matthew Wilkens (President) Ryan Cordell (Vice President) Matthew Lavin (Secretary/Treasurer) --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 15:18:19 +0100 (CET) From: GERALDINE CASTEL Subject: Looking for North American Partners for the T-AP Digging into Data Challenge Dear all As you probably know, applications to the 2016 T-AP Digging into Data Challenge will open in March.

Further details about the conference and the call for proposals is available on the DH Benelux website (http://www.dhbenelux.org/) and below. We look forward to receiving your proposals! With best wishes, Sally Chambers and Catherine Jones On Behalf of the DH Benelux Programme Committee Call for Proposals: DH Benelux 2016 The 3rd DH Benelux conference (http://www.dhbenelux.org/) will take place on 9-10 June 2016, at the City-of-Science-Belval, Luxembourg organised by the Centre Virtuel de la Connaissance sur l’Europe (CVCE) and the University of Luxembourg. This year we will be welcoming Stephen Ramsay and Arianna Betti as our keynote speakers. Previous conferences were held in The Hague, The Netherlands (2014) and Antwerp, Belgium (2015). We invite submissions of abstracts on any aspect of digital humanities: practical experimentation, through theorising, cross- and multidisciplinary work, new and relevant developments. Relevant subjects can be any of—but are not limited to—the following: *Digital media, digitisation, curation of digital objects *Software studies, data modeling, information design and tool criticism. *Text mining and data mining *Applications of Linked Open Data *Design and application of algorithms for analysis and visualisation methods *Critical study and digital hermeneutics of digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games and cyberculture *Social and economic aspects of digitality and digital humanities *Stylometry, topic modeling, sentiment mining and other digital technologies *Pedagogy, teaching, and dissemination of digital humanities *Human factors in DH technology: user research, crowd-sourcing, citizen science and public humanities *Geo-humanities, spatial analysis and applications of GIS for Humanities research *Digital scholarly editing and ePublications *Virtual Research Environments / Research Infrastructures The call is open to all colleagues with an interest and enthusiasm for the humanities or digital technology (and ideally both). Submissions are welcome from researchers at all career stages. We particularly encourage PhD students and junior researchers to submit abstracts. We welcome humanities scholars, developers, computer and information scientists as well as librarians, archivists and museum curators. While the conference has a focus on recent advances in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg, we warmly welcome contributions from outside the Benelux. For DH Benelux 2016 we welcome 4 types of proposals: (a) posters (b) application / tool demonstrations (c) short papers and (d) long papers. Depending on the type of proposal you would like to submit, abstracts should be between 500 and 1000 words. The language of the conference is English. The deadline for submitting abstracts is Friday 12 February 2016 @ 12:30 (CET) - lunchtime Full details about the Call for Proposal and the conference are available on the DH Benelux website: http://www.dhbenelux.org/ --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 11:45:36 +0100 From: Cornelius Puschmann Subject: AoIR 2016 Berlin: Internet Rules! now accepting submissions 2nd Call for Proposals ================================ AoIR 2016: INTERNET RULES! Workshops: 5 October 2016 Main Conference: 6-8 October 2016 Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany CfP, deadlines and submissions: http://aoir.org/aoir2016 AoIR 2016 is the 17th annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers, a transdisciplinary gathering of scholars interested in the place of networked technologies in social processes. AoIR 2016 will emphasize the relevance of the Internet in today’s culture and politics. The conference theme addresses the significance of the codes and rules that frame the Internet, as well as their playful circumvention, from technical protocols and popular platforms to the emerging, established, and contested conventions of online communities. Who are the actors both in practices of rule-making and rule-breaking, what are their motivations and resources, and how can their power relations and communicative figurations be described? How does the Internet influence the proliferation of the values that its platforms, services and infrastructures embody, and what spaces of creative resistance persist? How do various forms of technical, social, and cultural hacking subvert these orders? The committee calls for proposals for papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, and other events that engage with the conference theme or the field more generally. Topics could include (but are not limited to): - coordination and rule-making online - media, culture and identity - (h)activism and social justice - critical approaches to algorithms, platform studies - codes and practices of internet culture - connected devices and the internet of things - big data and predictive analytics - techno-social interfaces - digital labor, crowdsourcing and co-creation - internet governance and regulation - (global) social media - communication, participation and polarization online - philosophy of information and knowledge We particularly invite submissions that engage with or challenge the conference theme in new and exciting ways, are innovative, or present a novel approach to the topic. We encourage “experimental sessions” that extend research in unusual directions (via method, topic or presentation structure). We also welcome submissions on topics that address social, cultural, political, legal, aesthetic, economic, and/or philosophical aspects of the internet beyond the conference theme. The committee extends a special invitation to students, researchers, and practitioners who have previously not participated in an Internet Research event to submit proposals. *PROPOSALS* We seek proposals for several different kinds of contributions to encompass the breadth of relevant research. We welcome proposals for traditional academic conference PAPERS, organized PANELS, ROUNDTABLES, FISHBOWLS, EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS, and PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS. We invite proposals that will focus on discussion and interaction among conference delegates. Finally, doctoral students are invited to participate in the DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM preceding the main conference. *IMPORTANT DATES* 15 January 2016 Submission site opens for AoIR 2016 in Berlin 1 March 2016 Submissions due for PAPERS, PANELS, ROUNDTABLES and FISHBOWLS, EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS, and PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS 15 March 2016 Nominations for Nancy Baym Book award and Best Dissertation Award due 5 May 2016 Notification of acceptances for presenters 7 June 2016 Applications due for conference travel SCHOLARSHIPS and for DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM 1 August 2016 Early Bird Registration Deadline for all presenters For further information and updates, please visit the conference website at aoir.org/aoir2016 http://aoir.org/aoir2016 . *SUBMISSION TYPES* Traditional papers: Paper submissions should articulate the issue or research question to be discussed, the methodological or critical framework used, and indicate the findings or conclusions to be presented and/or the relevance to wider conference themes. Papers can present any kind of research or analysis, but should be written so that the importance of the work can be understood by reviewers working in different disciplines or using different approaches. Cross- or trans-disciplinary work is especially encouraged. Paper submissions should be approximately 1200 words long, including references. Please note that paper submissions need not adhere to a pre-formatted template, but should give an indication as to the consistency, rigor and relevance of the work. Presentations at the IR conference are generally intended to be dynamic, and provide a broad overview of the scholarship being engaged, with the hope of generating useful conversation. Preconstituted panels: Panels should present a coherent group of papers on a single theme. Panel proposals should include 1200-word abstracts as above for each of the constituent papers, as well as a brief statement articulating the papers’ relationship to each other. It is recommended that panels include four papers, although submissions of three to five papers will also be considered. The organizer is responsible for compiling the proposal into a single document for submission. Preconference workshops: Workshops may be either half or full-day events that occur on the first day of the conference and focus on a particular topic. They may be a workshop of some kind (e.g., a publishing workshop), a methodological “bootcamp” (e.g., on ethnography or statistical analysis), an exploration of a theoretical tradition or topical area (e.g., symbolic interaction, political economy, or GIS) or anything else that may be of interest to conference delegates. Proposals for workshops should explain for a general scholarly audience the goals of the workshop, the way it will operate, and an indication of potential audience or attendees who may be interested in attending (such as “early career scholars” or “researchers using statistical analysis”). Proposals for workshops should be approximately 600-800 words in length, and should name the workshop facilitators. Roundtable Sessions: Roundtables encourage discussion and interaction among delegates. They may involve brief introductory presentations by organizers. Proposals should include details on the theme or topic of discussion and its relevance, along with names of the organizers/initial participants. Roundtables can include no more than 5 initial participants. Roundtable submissions should be between 250-300 words long (to be included as the “abstract” in the submissions process–no separate document need be uploaded). Open Fishbowls: Fishbowl sessions should cover broad topics of interest to a wide segment of the AoIR community, and create a space for dialogue across different types of research. Submitted proposals should include a brief statement as to the core idea or theme for the fishbowl, emphasizing its relation to conference themes or relevance to the IR community. Fishbowls can include no more than 5 initial participants (named fish). Experimental Sessions: Experimental sessions are those that, while of interest to members or engaging with conference themes, meaningfully “push the envelope” beyond more traditional forms of conference engagement and participation and as such do not fit into any of the other proposal formats. Examples may include Ignite or pecha-kucha presentations, demonstrations, performances, installations, short-form workshops, unsessions, maker or code-based projects, or interactive experiences. Proposals for experimental sessions should describe for a general scholarly audience the goal or idea of the session and how it will operate, and discuss why the proposed format will be of interest to AoIR delegates. Organizers of experimental sessions will be responsible for supplying any necessary equipment beyond that usually provided for conference presentations, and should be prepared to coordinate closely with the conference committee as necessary to enable a successful presentation of the alternative format. To encourage this kind of submission, we are again offering the “Halavais Prize for Weirdness” this year for the most interesting and successful submission in a non-traditional format. Doctoral Colloquium: The Association of Internet Researchers believes that its emerging researchers are the best in its disparate constituent fields. In keeping with its commitment to students’ scholarship, we continue the tradition of bringing emerging and established scholars together through the AoIR 2016 Doctoral Colloquium. The colloquium offers PhD students working in internet research or a related field a special, day-long forum, to be convened on 5 October 2016. For many years, this pre-conference event has provided students with the opportunity to a concentrated amount of time with senior scholars to share research projects, address methodological and theoretical challenges, and exchange informal advice on juggling the multiple pressures associated with job searching, publishing, and finishing the dissertation Interested students should prepare a) a two-page summary of your research. This should provide a context for the research, describe the methods being used, the progress to date, and primary concerns and issues; and b) A brief statement indicating why you want to participate in this doctoral colloquium and what you hope to get out of it. These are due on or before 15 June 2016. *CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIPS* In order to increase the diversity of participation in the AoIR conferences, the Association of Internet Researchers makes available conference fee waivers and partial travel stipends ($500) per year. The number of fee waivers and travel stipends will depend first of all upon the ability of the conference budget to sustain such waivers (a judgment to be made by the AoIR Executive Committee upon the advice of the AoIR Treasurer and the local organizing committee) as well as upon the quality of the applications for fee waivers. Conference scholarships are made available only to participants who have had papers accepted via the peer review process, and applications are due on 1 June 2016, after acceptances have been announced. More information will be made available regarding the scholarship application process at the conference website: aoir.org/aoir2016. *CONTACT INFORMATION* Please address any questions to the conference chair, Cornelius Puschmann, Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, aoir2016 [at] aoir [dot] org. ================================ Dr. Cornelius Puschmann Postdoctoral Researcher (DFG) Berlin School of Library and Information Science (BSLIS) Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Dorotheenstraße 26 10117 Berlin, Germany www.ibi.hu-berlin.de Research Associate Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) Oberwallstraße 9 10117 Berlin, Germany www.hiig.de Faculty Associate Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University 23 Everett Street, Second Floor Cambridge, MA 02138, USA cyber.law.harvard.edu p: +49 7541 6009-1321 e: cornelius.puschmann@hiig.de e: cpuschmann@cyber.law.harvard.edu w: cbpuschmann.net --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2016 17:09:26 +0100 From: Elena Pierazzo Subject: Medieval and Modern Manuscripts in the Digital Age (MMSDA) 2016 Dear all, We're delighted to announce that application for MMSDA are open. Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (MMSDA) 2 – 6 May 2016, Cambridge and London We are very pleased to announce the sixth year of this course, funded by the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT), and run by King’s College London with the University of Cambridge and the Warburg Institute. The course will run in two parallel strands: one on medieval and the other on modern manuscripts. The course is open to any doctoral students working with manuscripts. It involves five days of intensive training on the analysis, description and editing of medieval or modern manuscripts to be held jointly in Cambridge and London. Participants will receive a solid theoretical foundation and hands-on experience in cataloguing and editing manuscripts for both print and digital formats. The first half of the course involves morning classes and then afternoon visits to libraries in Cambridge and London. Participants will view original manuscripts and gain practical experience in applying the morning’s themes to concrete examples. In the second half we will address the cataloguing and description of manuscripts in a digital format with particular emphasis on the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). These sessions will also combine theoretical principles and practical experience and include supervised work on computers. The course is free of charge but is open only to doctoral students (PhD or equivalent). It is aimed at those writing dissertations relating to medieval or modern manuscripts, especially those working on literature, art or history. Eight bursaries will be available for travel and accommodation.

Over the past two decades, research on digital scholarly editions (DSE) was deeply engaged with the impacts of the digital medium on the critical representation of texts and the changing conditions for the editor. However, less research has been done on the roles of the readers, or - as they are called in the digital environment - the users. A critical examination of the topic has already been demanded by Jerome McGann in 2001, it was repeated by Hans Walter Gabler in 2010, and was taken up more recently by Patrick Sahle (2013) and Elena Pierazzo (2015). User studies are rare, and systematic considerations of principles of Human Computer Interaction are still marginal in theory and practice of DSE. In addition, the conceptualization of the DSEs as interfaces between machines could be intensified. However, the discourse on DSEs benefits from considering paradigms of interface design, from reflecting on the cultural and historical context of the visual appearance of scholarly editions and their affordances, as well as from examining the interactions between user and resource. The symposium will discuss the relationship between digital scholarly editing and interfaces by bringing together experts of DSEs and Interface Design, editors and users of editions, web designers and developers. It will include the discussion of (graphical/user) interfaces of DSEs as much as conceptualizing the digital edition itself as an interface. In this context, we are interested in contributions to the following questions and beyond: * How can DSEs take full advantage of their digital environment without losing the traditional affordances that makes an edition ‘scholarly’? What is the role of skeuomorphic tropes and metaphors like footnotes, page turn and index in the design of DSEs and concerning the user interaction? * Do interfaces of DSEs succeed in transferring the complexity of the underlying data models? * Plurality in representation is a core feature of DSE. How do interfaces realize this plurality? Do we need different interfaces for different target audiences (i.e. scholars, digital humanists, students, public)? * How can user interfaces of DSEs succeed in transmitting Human Computer Interaction design principles like ‘aesthetics’, ‘trust’, and ‘satisfaction’? * Citability and reliability are core requirements of scholarly work. Which user interface elements support them? How can we encourage the user to critically engage with the DSE? * What are the users of a DSE actually doing: are they reading the text or searching and analyzing the data? * Can we conceptualize machines as users? How can we include application programming interfaces (APIs) in the discussion on DSEs as interfaces? * Does the development of user interfaces for DSEs keep up with the rising distribution of small handheld devices? Will interfaces on tablets greatly differ from those on computer screens and perhaps encourage a larger readership? Please submit your proposal for a talk at the symposium until April 17, 2016 to dixit@uni-graz.at. The proposal should not exceed 700 words. There are funds to reimburse travel and accommodation costs. Please indicate with your submission if you need financial support.

Digital visualisation - including, among much else, 3D modelling, digital mapping, and the visual presentation of complex information - is making substantial contributions to research, teaching, and outreach activity in Classics and many other humanities disciplines. As digital tools become ever more affordable and accessible, there is scope for researchers and visualisation professionals from different backgrounds to learn from each other about their aims, findings, methods, and challenges. Speakers include: - Prof. James E. Packer (Professor emeritus, Northwestern), author (with Gil Gorski) of a recent book on the digital reconstruction of the The Roman Forum - Tayfun Oner, creator of numerous digital reconstructions including Byzantium 1200.  http://www.byzantium1200.com/ - The Altair4 http://www.altair4.com/ studio whose reconstruction work in Rome and other sites will be familiar to many. We are open to proposals from any humanities background, and indeed from colleagues in the museum and heritage sectors, on how digital technologies can be used to present visualisations of places, phenomena, data, or other material. The colloquium will be chaired by Dr Matthew Nicholls (Reading), who works on the 3D reconstruction of ancient Rome. http://www.reading.ac.uk/classics/research/Virtual-Rome.aspx The intention is to allow people to present their own work, and to hear from a variety of disciplinary, methodological, and practical backgrounds. We hope that this will offer scope for mutual enrichment and useful discussion. All welcome. Lunch provided. Travel expenses and accommodation can be provided for speakers. This event is made possible by the generous support of the British Academy’s Rising Star Engagement Award http://www.britac.ac.uk/news/news.cfm/newsid/1247 scheme. For further details see here , or to reserve a place or make enquiries, contact Elisabeth Meijer (e.h.meijer@pgr.reading.ac.uk ). --[7]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Feb 2016 02:18:56 +0000 From: "Rivero, Alicia" Subject: Extended CFP to Feb. 26, 2016--Ometeca Conference on Relations between Humanities and Science in Hispanic World (April 6-9, 2016), UNC-CH Dear Colleagues, Please find the extended Call for Papers for the XIV Ometeca Conference-State of the Art/Working Session on the Relations between the Humanities and Science in the Hispanic World (April 6-9, 2016) at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (USA).

Job ads have begun to ask for digital humanities experience. Job seekers who have digital skills face an expanded employment landscape, including not only to academic teaching positions, but also post-docs on funded research projects, work at NGOs, and jobs at private technology firms. Graduate students and graduate programs must decide what sort of digital training is necessary for a career. Tenure and promotion evaluators face the challenge of accounting for digital scholarship. Abstracts are invited for presentations addressing how digital methods are changing the shape of the profession in these and other ways, and how students and faculty can respond. Anonymous abstracts of no more than 400 words should be sent to digitalclassicsassociation@gmail.com, with identifying information in the email. Abstracts will be refereed anonymously in accordance with SCS regulations. Submitters should confirm in their emails that they are SCS members in good standing. Abstracts should follow the formatting guidelines of the instructions for individual abstracts on the SCS website. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is **March 9, 2016**. Note: All past DCA sessions have been joint colloquia of the Society for Classical Studies and the Archaeological Institute of America. This panel has been approved by SCS, with the application for a joint AIA colloquium pending. AIA members are encouraged to submit, though there is no guarantee at this point that the panel will be approved by AIA.

Here is a particularly interesting bit from Shapin's review: > Does it matter that science is now conducted overwhelmingly in > English? Here Gordin makes a distinction between ‘communication’ and > ‘identity’.... By ‘identity’, Gordin means something like the ability > confidently to express meaning, feeling, nuance – something that’s > very hard to do in a language you didn’t learn as a child and in > which you don’t function every day. In a monolingual English world, > identity and communication are the same thing for a native > English-speaker but quite different for those who have to learn the > language at school and from textbooks. As a result, ‘birthright’ > English-speakers have a big advantage: they give the impression ‘of > being – more or less – at home everywhere’, while non-native > English-speakers feel themselves tourists almost everywhere. This is > the point at which the problem of scientific Babel can’t be > disengaged from the problem of what science is. > > If you conceive of science as an information system, as an > accumulation of data and logical relations between data, then you > will probably feel that the efficiencies of English monolingualism > outweigh its disadvantages. But Gordin also (and too briefly) > introduces a different conception of science, not much taken up by > philosophers, which emphasises the importance of metaphorical > extension in scientific change. Scientific notions like wave, force, > law, heredity and fact have different semantics when expressed in > different languages: as metaphors imported from everyday life, they > have different resonances and affiliations in different cultures and > languages, and therefore different bearings on the resources > scientists have to extend their meanings through research and theory. > (Science itself is such a notion: its semantics in English are not > exactly the same as les sciences, Wissenschaft, наука or επιστήμη.) > So, depending on whether you think of science solely as an > information system or as encompassing the dynamic exploration of > metaphors, you come to different conclusions about the significance > of monolingualism.

Number and focus of positions dependent on project requirements and suitable team-focused applicants. Timeframes negotiable. Salary commensurate with experience and available funding. Wai-te-ata Press at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand is looking for dynamic, agile, and innovative programming historians to collaborate in a Royal Society / Marsden-funded digital history project (2015-2018) entitled Personal Geographies and Global Networks: William Colenso and the Victorian Republic of Letters. Requisite skills include facility in programming languages and environments, such as Python and R, proven expertise in one or more of text mining, social network analysis, topic modelling, geospatial visualisation, sonification, as well as familiarity with complex systems approaches, macroscopes and digital history methodologies. Opportunities for teaching and capability building are also available. William Colenso (1811-1899) was one of the most accomplished polymaths of Victorian New Zealand, yet his contributions to Maori, Pakeha and imperial history have been under-estimated, dismissed, or virtually forgotten. This project features new digital humanities approaches and advanced computational science tools used to identify and analyse Colenso's local and international intellectual, scientific, linguistic, religious, and political networks using his extensive published writings and voluminous letter correspondence. Text mining, social network analysis, topic modelling, and geospatial visualisation offer new insights into Colenso's multi-facetted identity as well as his pivotal role in a global system of information exchange and knowledge production. For further information about the project, please consult: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/wtapress/research/the-colenso-project http://colensoandtherepublicofletters.weebly.com/about.html Please send a one-page Expression of Interest, 2-3 page CV including links to recent digital projects, and the names of three references in a single .PDF file to: Dr Sydney J Shep, Reader in Book History The Printer, Wai-te-ata Press Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Sydney.shep@vuw.ac.nz EOIs will be reviewed as they are received.

Chair: James Fuller, MarkLogic Monday August 1, 2016 Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, Bethesda, MD, USA THE SYMPOSIUM In today's world 'application’ often means 'web application’. Most web applications are messy. The current web application stack changes rapidly; frameworks go in and out of favor; the standards evolve; JavaScript changes. At the same time, mission critical applications are built on top of “big data”. We have large volumes of often volatile data that must be accessed, distilled, summarized, and transformed for delivery to the web. Enterprises desperately need to provide stable, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure to meet the needs of modern applications. More and more organizations are using an XML infrastructure. Appropriately-designed XML applications can enable “stable innovation” of mission-critical information resources while handling new requirements, changing data models, and mitigating the churn of constantly changing requirements. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Tell us how you use XML infrastructure behind a web-based interface. We seek success stories and tales of disappointments; Hopes for the future and plans for how to get there; Tools, techniques, approaches, and philosophies that underlie integration of XML and the Web. 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. WHERE TO GET HELP Email: info@balisage.net for help, advice, or encouragement about a symposium submission. Wonder if your idea will fit in at the symposium? Ask us! Unsure if the technical level of your presentation is appropriate for the symposium participants? We'll be happy to discuss it with you! Need help making your paper into XML as required for submission? Speak up; we'll find someone to help.

The conference will feature posters, papers and panels. We invite proposals globally on all aspects of digital humanities, 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. Historical studies have been steadily shifting their bases of research from the paper medium to the digital medium over the past few decades. In an effort to be engaged with this shift the American Historical Association (AHA) has recently released its Guidelines for the Evaluation of Digital Scholarship in History. In Japan, the Historiographical Institute and some other institutes have also been addressing this kind of transition for a few decades. A good example is the Hyakugo Archives WEB (http://hyakugo.kyoto.jp/eng/), whose digitized version was recently released under an open license before being inscribed in UNESCO Memory of the World in 2015. To encourage and support this trend, we welcome presentations of studies and examples of digital scholarship in the field of history. By so doing, we hope to contribute to the spread of the application of digital historical studies 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/), Oxford University Press. Abstracts should be of 500-1000 words in length in English, including title. Please submit abstracts on the conference Web site by May 6, 2016. The conference Web site is below: https://www.jadh.org/confsys/index.php/JADH2016/ Presenters will be notified of acceptance on 30 May 2016. Type of proposals: 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. 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. 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. 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 500-1000 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 500-1000 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.

This journal aims to bring together scholarship from around the world and across disciplines related to the study of pre-modern manuscript books and documents. We are actively seeking submissions for 2017 and beyond. The journal is open to contributions that rely on both traditional methodologies of manuscript study and those that explore the potential of new ones. We seek articles that engage in a larger conversation on manuscript culture and its continued relevance in today’s world and highlight the value of manuscript evidence in understanding our shared cultural and intellectual heritage. Studies that incorporate digital methodologies to further understanding of the physical and conceptual structures of the manuscript book are encouraged. A separate section, entitled Annotations, features research in progress and digital project reports. Book, digital project, and exhibition reviews will also be included.

(jhoeg1@yahoo.com): Hi, Everyone, This is to ask for your collaboration on a special issue of the journal Millars that I am editing. The journal is peer-reviewed. The theme is "Cultural Manifestations of Environmental Issues in Spain and Latin America." This is intentionally broad, and so can include anything from twenty-first century film, tv, or web sites to fifteenth century literature. "Environment" is also to be understood in a broad sense, as there are many "environments." The idea is not to limit but rather encourage your creativity. Importantly, I need your essay within three months, by mid-March at the latest, as the publishing schedule of the journal is cast in stone. The issue will come out in May of 2016. It will be vol. 39.1 (2016). I've attached below a more formal explanation of the format, but basically it is Times New Roman 12, single-spaced, 15-35 pages, with no notes, in English, Castellano, or Catalan, in Word. The only non-MLA details pertain to the bibliography, and these are explained below, and the differences are slight. The journal itself comes out twice a year, in paper, and in color, from the Universitat Jaume I, located in Castellon de la Plana, Valencia, Spain. It has been published continually since 1992. It is free, open access, and each author receives three copies of the journal when it comes out, which will be in May. The author retains all rights. If anyone has any further questions I can send more detailed information. I really hope I can count on your support on this. This is the first time they've ventured into publishing on film and literature, so I thank you for making it a very good start. Best, Jerry GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS 1. The manuscripts submitted must be original and unpublished. 2. The manuscripts should have a maximum length of 35 pages. The format is: Times New Roman; font size: 12 point; the first line of each paragraph should be indented 1 cm; single-spaced; side margins of 3 cm; top and bottom margins of 1.25 cm. 1. The first page should contain the following information: title of the article in Spanish/Catalan and English, followed by the name and surname(s) of the author(s), their institutional affiliation, and an e-mail address. A 100-120-word abstract, indented 1 cm from the left and right margins, should follow. It should be written in the language of the article and in English, or Spanish if English is the language of the article, and should include, at the end, four or five key words in the same languages. 1. Only two levels of subheadings will be accepted for the body of the article. The first-level heading should be written in Times New Roman 12, boldface and lowercase, and should be numbered (1, 2, 3...) Should authors use second-level subheadings, they will be numbered (1.1., 1.2., 1.3., 2.1...) and the font type and size for the title here will be the same as before, but italicized. 1. The text quotations should maintain the same format as the main text but should be included in an independent paragraph indented at 1.5 cm from the left and right margins. 1. A separate sheet including the author(s)'s address, telephone number, e-mail and affiliation should be provided in addition to the manuscript. 1. A short bio of the article's author(s) (maximum, 100 words or 8lines) should be also provided. 1. If the article includes tables, graphs or other figures, these should be appropriately numbered, with the number (Table 1, etc.) placed just before the table. The photo captions should acknowledge authorship, as well as the work title, date and location, when appropriate. 2. The images should have a resolution of at least 300 pixels or 300 dpi. 3. No notes. 4. The bibliography should be presented at the end of the article. The citation system to be used for references is as follows: Surname, first of name of the author(s), book title (in italics) or "Article title" (between inverted commas); journal name, in italics, and journal number or volume, publisher, place of publication, year of publication, and number of pages. The year can also be given in brackets after the author(s)'s name(s). Finally, 1 cm indentation should be applied to the bibliography section. No other indentations are used, in contrast to MLA. Double space between each entry to separate them. Please follow these examples: Jones, P. D. (1986): "Northern hemisphere surface air temperature variations: 1851-1984".

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 3 Feb 2016 12:10:29 +0100 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 29.678 the language matters a lot In-Reply-To: <20160203083104.AD7417E80@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, This being only a part of Shapin's review, and, being a review, only an indirect contact with what Gordin says, I may well have an inadequate knowledge and understanding of what both Gordin and Shapin mean. However, there is, I think, a simplification here that undermines Shapin's, and thus perhaps Gordin's, answer to the question Does it matter that science is now conducted overwhelmingly in English? Just as with all widely spoken (and written) language, there isn't just one English. So, I would say, there isn't one identify that goes with it. Reduced comprehension (of the communication part) and appreciation (of the full-meaning part, let me call it) doesn't just happen between a native English speaker and a non-native English speaker, as Shapin and Gordin (?) appear to suggest here. This happens, to varying degrees between native speakers as well: we native English speakers don't natively speak the same English. There seems to be further simplifications here too. Unlike Castellano (Spanish)--adopted (which is used to mean imposed here) as the main language of many South American countries, but now different in each--English is different in the places in the world that use it as their language--old Empire countries, mostly--and English is different in the many more places where English is now used as the working language ... often to do science. These two ways of being different result in different ways in which communication and full-meaning may not work as intended. In the first, naturally occurring divergence over the years reduces a common familiarity with terms and meanings. In the second, all sorts of things happen, in my experience. [I work (mostly) in English in a place where Basque (which I know only a little), Castellano (which I know quite well), some French (rather rusty), and occasionally German (which I mostly have to guess at) are also used in the work. It's also worth remarking that the different Spanishes spoken in different South American countries, when brought together in one conversation, can result in hilarious and sometimes rude even insulting misunderstandings. In English too, though less, I think ... where's the Rest Room?, we lean to say when in the US of A.] When English is the working language it is seldom the only language used by the people doing the work. Often there are several other natively spoken languages used too, albethem in minor roles. And if, as is often the case, the English (as a second language, or third, or fourth, etc) spoken by these workers has been learned in different places, they are different Englishes. In a conversation, while doing some science, say, in which Englishes are in use, even if you don't know, understand, and use one or more of the other languages (natively spoken by others) that also get used in this kind of situation, you still develop some comprehension and an appreciation for what is being said and meant in this Babel. And more. Attempts made to translate or convey metaphors, similes, sayings, notions, concepts, meanings from natively spoken languages to an English, with more or less success or failure, often result in the origination of new metaphors, meanings, notions, and ideas. To speak of a monolingual English world seems to me to be a conceit born of ignorance. Have, I wonder, Shapin or Gordin ever worked (doing anything) in the kinds of multi-lingual situations in which Englishes are the "working language," but, in reality, not the only ones used? But, as I said, I may well not have my understanding well enough founded here to press this complaint with any fairness. Still, I think Shapin's question should be Does it matter that science is now conducted overwhelmingly in Englishes? To which I would reply, probably not, for the simple reason that together with all these Englishes lots of other languages get used. More than would be if all this work was done in just one these languages. It's messy, but still better for the science we do. It helps to keep everybody reminded that nonbody speaks the same language, so we must all work to communicate and mean well with all the available languages and our varying capacities to use them. God didn't make this Babel. We did. It's more productive and more fun this way.

Over the next three years, we will hire multiple faculty members in each area and invest in research infrastructure to support their work. This initiative will build critical mass in vital and emerging fields of scholarship, foster truly cross- disciplinary work and further diversify the faculty at one of America’s most diverse research universities. We encourage applications from scholars committed to excellence and seeking to help redefine the research university for the next generation. We seek a Founding Director, at the Associate or Full Professor rank, for a new Spatial Analysis Center at University of California Riverside (UCR). The Director will provide vision and leadership for coordinated efforts with center faculty spanning engineering, science, and humanities, policy, and education colleges. While the expertise of the center Director may emphasize applications in spatial science from any discipline or the management of spatial information, experience leading interdisciplinary research teams is valued. A Ph.D. and a record of excellence and leadership in spatial research is required. Through the creation of the Spatial Analysis Center we will bring together a critical mass of researchers at UCR who will enable coordinated advances in how dynamic spatial databases are built, how people interact with spatial data of immense complexity, and how new spatial analysis systems are used for understanding dynamics and feedbacks in the built and natural environment. Additional new faculty hired following the Director will join an existing research community that is developing cutting-edge spatial technologies and applying these tools to university-wide interdisciplinary challenges in fields spanning global climate and biodiversity, autonomous vehicles, cultural heritage, demographic changes, and big-data. The new center is part of a substantial recent investment by UCR in high performance computing and Data Science, which provides an exciting environment for advancing spatial analysis throughout the university. As part of a university-wide center, the Director will have an appropriate academic departmental home but the center will report to the Vice Chancellor for Research. Depending upon the department of appointment, the position may include an appointment in the Agricultural Experiment Station, which includes the responsibility to conduct research and outreach relevant to the mission of the California Agricultural Experiment Station (http://cnas.ucr.edu/about/aes/). Applications must include a curriculum vitae, cover letter, statements of research and teaching interests, a leadership statement for the center, statement of contributions to diversity, and full contact information for three to five references. All application materials must be submitted through AP Recruit at: https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/apply/JPF00526 . Review of applications will begin March 15, 2016 and will continue until the position is filled with an anticipated start date of June 30, 2016. Salary is commensurate with education and experience.

We consider participation as a process, a framework for access and production, but also increasingly becoming a philosophy and a culture. In response to this theme, we have invited researchers and practitioners in dance, the arts and the humanities, to reflect on practices of collecting, archiving and safekeeping, how these traces are being used to configure new ways of imagining futures, and how such practices highlight the legacy of the digital on humanistic and artistic disciplines. As the title suggests, we will reflect upon and critically examine digital archival practices, with a focus on dance and neighbouring art forms. We look at the future through a frame of making, or crafting, which evokes discourses on materiality and immateriality, tangible and intangible, conversion and representation. Through representation in digital formats ephemeral performative acts gain tangible qualities. Yet tangibility does not mean fixation; as digital representations are manipulated, stored, accessed, retrieved and re-used they are simultaneously objectified and re-formed, as they are increasingly used and re-used in different formats and in new contexts. We are delighted to announce the keynote presentation, ‘Just Fun Enough to go Completely Mad About: on games, procedures and amusement’ from Professor Matthew Fuller(Goldsmiths University). Themes for the day include: ● The politics of participation in performing arts archival and documentation practices: How does public or citizen involvement in archival practices affect established hierarchies and canons? How does it affect taken for granted ideas about whose ideas and practice are given visibility and represented, and how? ● Collectivity and co-creative practices: What are the potentials and problematics of collectives? How does co-creation function in artistic and archival practices? How do collaborative relationships between archivists, technologists, artists and researchers cultivate generative interdisciplinary exchanges? What are the meeting points or sticking points? How might we create innovate archival projects that cross disciplinary frameworks? ● The reuse and reconfiguration of artistic and cultural content: The reuse of cultural content, and the ways that users might enrich existing sources through creative activities. ● Between amateurism and citizen science: What are the sources of legitimacy for user involvement? What distinguishes citizen science from amateurism? What are the boundaries of involvement, so that the foundations for research credibility and validity are not affected? What are the forms, best practices, promises and limits of crowdsourcing? ● Epistemologies, languages, vocabularies: Which forms of knowledge are cultivated and disseminated through participatory archival projects? How might linguistic frameworks usher in fresh forms of thinking and reveal underlying frameworks? ● Impacts on practice. How does the reuse of cultural content feed back into artistic and scholarly practices? How does the fictional user inform on the development of archival practices? ● Processes and tools: What processes, flows, methodologies are there that support rewarding ways of involving the user and the public in storing, classifying, and configuring access pathways to archival material? What digital tools, platforms and infrastructures? Registration for the event is £20 (£15 for concessions) which includes lunch and refreshments. Please register before Friday 26th February by following the link below: https://www.eventsforce.net/cu/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=719489&eventID=3096&eventID=3096 Registration will open at 9.15am and the talks will run from 9.45am – 5.15pm.

Does the difference made by scale imply that Big Data is a realm of its own? -- that (with apologies to Jason Ensor) distant reading means getting close to *something else*, with problematic connection to any individual text? How are so-called bigger pictures connected to smaller ones? Are the two incommensurable? (My question, by the way, was triggered by P. W. Anderson's "Moreisdifferent", Science NS 177.4047 (1972): 393-6.)

All applications for the PhD placement scheme must be supported by the applicant’s PhD supervisor and their department’s Graduate Tutor (or equivalent). Each placement (3 month or PT equivalent) has a dedicated workplan, plus full supervision and training and 3 of these placements will particularly contribute to the field of digital scholarship: 1. DIGITAL HUMANITIES IN CHINA: The Library is working on digitising and cataloguing our vast Chinese collections, to inform the development of future British Library services and support for scholars conducting innovative and computationally driven research. Through the placement, the Digital Research Team in conjunction with Asian & African Collections at the British Library will explore the extent to which Digital Humanities activities - relating to and within China - are being undertaken. 2. THE FUTURE OF THE PHD THESIS: The rise of the non-text thesis presents a new curatorial challenge in digital archiving. As more universities allow students to submit a non-traditional final thesis for their PhD – for example in the form of a website, software, film, performance, artwork or database - this project will examine the implications for EThOS (http://ethos.bl.uk), the British Library’s online repository of text-based theses. The project anticipates the potential issues surrounding the non-text theses, and seeks to explore how to adapt to and embrace this growing trend. 3. DIGITAL –ONLY PUBLISHING: This PhD placement offers an opportunity to contribute to the Library’s on-going commitment to grow our holdings. The successful candidate will focus on a specific sector of the digital-only publishing sector, and their findings will be used to help anticipate future developments. The placement offers a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the many and varied challenges of managing published digital objects on a large scale. The application deadline for the 2016/2017 PhD placements is 19 February 2016.

Over the past two decades, research on digital scholarly editions (DSE) was deeply engaged with the impacts of the digital medium on the critical representation of texts and the changing conditions for the editor. However, less research has been done on the roles of the readers, or - as they are called in the digital environment - the users. A critical examination of the topic has already been demanded by Jerome McGann in 2001, it was repeated by Hans Walter Gabler in 2010, and was taken up more recently by Patrick Sahle (2013) and Elena Pierazzo (2015). User studies are rare, and systematic considerations of principles of Human Computer Interaction are still marginal in theory and practice of DSE. In addition, the conceptualization of the DSEs as interfaces between machines could be intensified. However, the discourse on DSEs benefits from considering paradigms of interface design, from reflecting on the cultural and historical context of the visual appearance of scholarly editions and their affordances, as well as from examining the interactions between user and resource. The symposium will discuss the relationship between digital scholarly editing and interfaces by bringing together experts of DSEs and Interface Design, editors and users of editions, web designers and developers. It will include the discussion of (graphical/user) interfaces of DSEs as much as conceptualizing the digital edition itself as an interface. In this context, we are interested in contributions to the following questions and beyond: - How can DSEs take full advantage of their digital environment without losing the traditional affordances that makes an edition "scholarly"? What is the role of skeuomorphic tropes and metaphors like footnotes, page turn and index in the design of DSEs and concerning the user interaction? - Do interfaces of DSEs succeed in transferring the complexity of the underlying data models? - Plurality in representation is a core feature of DSE. How do interfaces realize this plurality? Do we need different interfaces for different target audiences (i.e. scholars, digital humanists, students, public)? - How can user interfaces of DSEs succeed in transmitting Human Computer Interaction design principles like "aesthetics", "trust", and "satisfaction"? - Citability and reliability are core requirements of scholarly work. Which user interface elements support them? How can we encourage the user to critically engage with the DSE? - What are the users of a DSE actually doing: are they reading the text or searching and analyzing the data? - Can we conceptualize machines as users? How can we include application programming interfaces (APIs) in the discussion on DSEs as interfaces? - Does the development of user interfaces for DSEs keep up with the rising distribution of small handheld devices? Will interfaces on tablets greatly differ from those on computer screens and perhaps encourage a larger readership? Please submit your proposal for a talk at the symposium until April 17, 2016 to dixit@uni-graz.at. The proposal should not exceed 700 words. There are funds to reimburse travel and accommodation costs. Please indicate with your submission if you need financial support.

(a naive question) In-Reply-To: <20160205063251.87AB37EF0@digitalhumanities.org> I think Paul Feyerabend asked the right question: "How many constellations are in the sky?" You certainly see things on the large scale (e.g. constellations) that you can't see on the small (e.g. the sun). But all Big Data is essentially just counting, and you have to know what you're counting before you can count it. I often have this thought when I read papers about genre. No-one seems to agree about the generic designation of any classic novel, and lots of smart people think that every text is a hybrid. Is *Emma* a domestic novel, a courtship novel, or a *Bildungsroman*? Are the "male" and "female" *Bildungsroman* the same thing, or different? On the one hand, perhaps distant reading, by taking us away from these contentious issues, might expose new and different relationships between texts. On the other hand, if you want to look at generic trends over time, you probably need to mark texts up with a genre, and this conversion of text to data might commit you to a position on a contentious debate without your knowledge. Close and distant reading depend on one another, and the only solution for digital humanists is the old one, of shuttling between particular observations and large generalisations, of sharing knowledge and expertise, of never assuming that a particular question or a particular method is the "right" one.

Francesco --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2016 15:16:06 +0000 From: Bill Kretzschmar Subject: Re: 29.688 big vs small? (a naive question) In-Reply-To: <20160205063251.87AB37EF0@digitalhumanities.org> Al least for Big Data in human populations, such as collections of language, it is hard to associate big and small. Horvath and Horvath say with regard to language that we should not expect to apply generalizations at higher levels of scale to lower levels of scale (called the “ecological fallacy” by the Horvaths), and we should not expect any individual fairly to represent the behavior of a locality, or any locality fairly to represent the behavior of a region (called the “individual fallacy” by the Horvaths). Within complex systems, as I have written about them with regard to language (in *Language and Complex Systems*, where you can find the Horvath references), we know that the scaling property produces the same distributional pattern, an asymptotic hyperbolic curve for frequencies of alternative possibilities (like the words "thundershower," "thunder and lightning," and a great many others to refer to a thunderstorm), at all levels of scale, but as the Horvaths have said, we cannot expect to find exactly the same components at exactly the same frequencies at different levels of scale. So, big and small are likely to be different in data related to complex systems (language, economic markets, your immune system, evolutionary biology, quanta in physics). The same quantitative fractal pattern will be present, but what's most common and what's least common are most likely different in big and small samples. The same is not true for data that is normally distributed (in a statistical sense), like people's heights in a population: Big Data and smaller collections are likely to tell you the same thing.

There are advantages that often---but not invariably---accompany the use of larger samples. One advantage of large random samples is that one tends to gains a better appreciation for the diversity in a population (of people, artistic words, etc). Small samples tend to be less helpful as guides to the diversity present in a population.

Following advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Text and data mining (TDM) is emerging as an invaluable tool for harnessing the power of structured and unstructured content and data. Hidden and new knowledge can be discovered by using TDM at multiple levels and in multiple dimensions. However, text mining and NLP solutions are not easy to discover and use, nor are they easy to combine for end users. Multiple efforts are being undertaken world-wide to create TDM and NLP platforms. These platforms are targeted at specific research communities, typically researchers in a particular location, e.g. OpenMinTeD, CLARIN (Europe), ALVEO (Australia), or LAPPS (USA). All of these platforms face similar problems in the following areas: discovery of content and analytics capabilities, integration of knowledge resources, legal and licensing aspects, data representation, and analytics workflow specification and execution. The goal of cross-platform interoperability raises many problems. At the level of content, metadata, language resources, and text annotations, we use different data representations and vocabularies. At the level of workflows, there is no uniform process model that allows platforms to smoothly interact. The licensing status of content, resources, analytics, and of the output created by a combination of such licenses is difficult to determine and there is currently no way to reliably exchange such information between platforms. User identity management is often tightly coupled to the licensing requirements and likewise an impediment for cross-platform interoperability. Target audience --------------- Language resources and technologies, NLP, computational linguistics, and text mining communities as well as their associated infrastructural initiatives. Motivation and Topics of interest --------------------------------- Workshop topics include but are not limited to: • cross-repository discovery of content, language resources, and analytics • uniform access to content repositories or heterogeneous data sources (content, knowledge) • extraction of textual content from heterogeneous sources • orchestration of analytics workflows composed from analytics from different sources • orchestration of cross-platform analytics workflows • linking knowledge sources and uniformly accessing them from analytics workflows • annotation schema design best practices • mapping and transformation between annotation schemata • dynamic deployment of analytics to computing resources • machine-interpretable representation of legal and licensing metadata • policy making for TDM for an international open research environment and open access publishing Format ------ The workshop is planned as an open-space event in which the workshop participants host and participate in discussions related to the topics of interest. We invite submissions of extended abstracts/short papers describing recent work, thoughts, or best practices on one or more of the topics of interest (up to 4 pages). All submissions will be reviewed using a simple blind process by at least three programm committee members and will be assessed based on their relevance, potential to create constructive discussion, and clarity of writing. The submissions must be formatted in compliance with the style sheet that will be adopted for the LREC Proceedings (to be announced later on the Conference web site). Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop in the form of a 5 minute lightning talk and included in the workshop proceedings. If there is an unexpectedly high number of submissions, we may consider accepting some as posters. At least one author of each paper is expected to register for the workshop. During the workshop, the author is expected to host or co-host a discussion group. We plan to align the topics of the discussion groups with the topics of the authors submissions. The hosts will take minutes which are to be aggregated into a report after the workshop. We wish to encourage authors to offer their help in the report writing process to the organizing committee. Important dates --------------- • Submission: February 19, 2016 • Notification: March 4, 2016​ • Camera ready: March 25, 2016 • Workshop: ​Monday, 23 May 2016​ Share your LRs! --------------- Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about “Sharing LRs” (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new "regular" feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data. Identify, Describe and Share your LRs ------------------------------------- As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2016 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time.

Behind them lie clever algorithms – step by step procedures that detect where we are and suggest a route, predict the weather, recognise our fingerprint, and do many other things. Algorithms pre-date computers by over 2000 years. For example, simple arithmetic procedures, like long division, are algorithms. In this pack you will see how computation changed over time, from early calculating devices to modern computers, who are some of the women and men behind major breakthroughs, what are the fundamental concepts and the limitations of algorithms. You will also see how to translate algorithms into code, so that computers can execute them much faster and more precisely than humans ever could.

My point was, I suppose, actually two points: (1) that both are needed for an informed reading at either scale, but that (2) the large scale eventually carries you off into a concentration on literary history, which is a different kettle of fish from literary criticism, related and important but different. For the set of interests I was trained to cultivate knowledge of the large is the homework you do before getting down to the individual text(s). For combining the two I am particularly fond of Clifford Geertz's words on "the characteristic intellectual movement, the inward conceptual rhythm" he found in the ethnographer's fieldwork: > namely, a continuous dialectical tacking between > the most local of local detail and the most global of global > structure in such a way as to bring them into simultaneous view.... > Hopping back and forth between the > whole conceived through the parts that actualize it and the parts > conceived through the whole that motivates them, we seek to turn > them, by a sort of intellectual perpetual motion, into explications > of one another.

The problem with big data use in literary analysis is that a word is never -a- word: it's a cluster or range of meanings produced by dozens of interpretive decisions made while reading. I think big data only becomes useful when it starts to inform close readings (say, word clouds associated with specific authors). Otherwise, unless it can distinguish between different meanings or even inferences of the same word (say, "green"), it's comparing unlike objects. Is it green grass, a green employee, someone green with envy, or a green initiative? We can tag individual words with a range of context-specific meanings, of course, to make our big data more valuable, but then that's only possible after a close reading.

When looking at the object of our study at different levels, i.e. at different scales, there is of course a certain degree of self-similarity, similarity at different levels, but it would be foolish to believe that we will ever see a perfect self-similarity. For this you need a Mandelbrot set, not a man-made structure like power, language, music etc. When thinking in terms of a model that explains our object, we might identify a number of influential parameters: A, B, C, D etc. Of these A and B might not be found active/meaningful at the highest level, C and D not at the lowest level. We might think of their values as set to zero. Paper quality or available stone types might be local parameters, the spreading of religions a global parameter. Task of the researcher is to find which are the parameters active at a given level and, maybe, why or why not. A second question is to identify how the parameters interact at specific levels and third, how values of one parameter at level L2 propagates to level L3. No matter whether you look at literature or epigraphic practices, dynamics arise from changes at all possible levels. In my research, the lowest level shows almost random variations. At the highest level we have the world history with its religions, nationalisms and ideologies passing by. At an intermediate level we find the professionals, carvers (poets, writers), who absorb the different dynamics and bake them into digestible practices. The propagation of these invented practices goes from the center to the periphery, from the main island to the outlying islands, from the village near the harbor to the village on the other side of the island, as long as the parameters center and periphery apply. At the lowest level, a specific graveyard, these notions of center and periphery are meaningless and the star-like propagation we observe at higher levels turns into a random pattern of propagation. I don't want to claim to have invented another wheel or to have developed a super-model of whatever. I just want to claim that it is worthwhile to study the objects of our study in their integrity, their parts and their contexts. The big and the small are part of the same world.

Number and focus of positions dependent on project requirements and suitable team-focused applicants. Timeframes negotiable. Salary commensurate with experience and available funding. Wai-te-ata Press at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand is looking for dynamic, agile, and innovative programming historians to collaborate in a Royal Society / Marsden-funded digital history project (2015-2018) entitled “Personal Geographies and Global Networks: William Colenso and the Victorian Republic of Letters.” Requisite skills include facility in programming languages and environments, such as Python and R, proven expertise in one or more of text mining, social network analysis, topic modelling, geospatial visualisation, sonification, as well as familiarity with complex systems approaches, macroscopes and digital history methodologies. Opportunities for teaching and capability building are also available. William Colenso (1811-1899) was one of the most accomplished polymaths of Victorian New Zealand, yet his contributions to Maori, Pakeha and imperial history have been under-estimated, dismissed, or virtually forgotten. This project features new digital humanities approaches and advanced computational science tools used to identify and analyse Colenso's local and international intellectual, scientific, linguistic, religious, and political networks using his extensive published writings and voluminous letter correspondence. Text mining, social network analysis, topic modelling, and geospatial visualisation offer new insights into Colenso's multi-facetted identity as well as his pivotal role in a global system of information exchange and knowledge production. For further information about the project, please consult: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/wtapress/research/the-colenso-projecthttp://colensoandtherepublicofletters.weebly.com/about.html Please send a one-page Expression of Interest, 2-3 page CV including links to recent digital projects, and the names of three references in a single .PDF file to: Dr Sydney J Shep, Reader in Book History The Printer, Wai-te-ata Press Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Sydney.shep@vuw.ac.nz EOIs will be reviewed as they are received.

Comins and Loet Leydesdorff Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy (RPYS) and Multi-RPYS provide algorithmic approaches to reconstructing the intellectual histories of scientific fields. With this brief communication, we describe a technical advancement for developing research historiographies by introducing RPYS i/o, an online tool for performing standard RPYS and Multi-RPYS analyses interactively (at this http URL http://comins.leydesdorff.net/ ). The tool enables users to explore seminal works underlying a research field and to plot the influence of these seminal works over time. This suite of visualizations offers the potential to analyze and visualize the myriad of temporal dynamics of scientific influence, such as citation classics, sleeping beauties, and the dynamics of research fronts. We demonstrate the features of the tool by analyzing--as an example--the references in documents published in the journal Philosophy of Science. ** apologies for cross-postings Available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.01950 _____ Loet Leydesdorff Professor, University of Amsterdam Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR) loet@leydesdorff.net ; http://www.leydesdorff.net/ http://www.leydesdorff.net/ Honorary Professor, http://www.sussex.ac.uk/spru/ SPRU, University of Sussex; Guest Professor http://www.zju.edu.cn/english/ Zhejiang Univ., Hangzhou; Visiting Professor, http://www.istic.ac.cn/Eng/brief_en.html ISTIC, Beijing; Visiting Professor, http://www.bbk.ac.uk/ Birkbeck, University of London; http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ych9gNYAAAAJ&hl=en http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ych9gNYAAAAJ&hl=en _______________________________________________ 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 8FD598096; Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:15:17 +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 8596E8094; Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:15:16 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C7E617FF8; Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:15:12 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160209061512.C7E617FF8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:15:12 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.700 events: art & archaeology; documentary edns; methods for media 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: <20160209061517.8965.96505@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 700.

Potential applicants to the NHPRC’s Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions program are invited to attend an upcoming webinar on the program and application process. Webinar times and instructions appear at the end of this message. The webinar is intended for both currently-funded and new applicants preparing for the upcoming June 15, 2016 deadline, as well as those who may be considering preparation of an application for the fall cycle (deadline October 6, 2016). 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, transcribing, annotating, editing, encoding, 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. A grant is for one year and for up to $200,000. The Commission expects to make up to 25 grants in this category for a total of up to $2,500,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2017. First Deadline: Any currently funded NHPRC documentary edition project: Funding Opportunity Number: EDITIONS-201606. Draft (optional): April 4, 2016. Final Deadline: June 15, 2016. NHPRC support begins no earlier than January 1, 2017. Second Deadline: Any currently funded NHPRC documentary edition project and any project seeking first time support: Funding Opportunity Number: EDITIONS-201610. Draft (optional): August 1, 2016. Final Deadline: October 6, 2016. NHPRC support begins no earlier than July 1, 2017. The webinar will be held on the following date and time: Wednesday, 24 February @ 3:00 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.

From early methods that some argued over-claimed their impact, towards contemporary approaches that have been nuanced and improved by researchers and specialists, digital media methods are a useful collection of ‘how to’ tools to research social, economical and political sites. Globally, multiple researchers and institutions have developed cutting edge technologies that enable a large proportion of media and communication researchers to interrogate existing research sites in new ways. Additionally, these digital media methods have enabled researchers to find new research environments through data repositories, big data, digital media platforms, and social media, for example. Our interest in digital data will increase further as we see new cultural practices emerge through activities associated with drones, autonomous automobiles, sensors, and the internet of things. There remains a significant gap, however, in our current media and communication methodologies and current research technology. While we are able to identify conversations of public concern and how they inform ‘issues’ (Burgess & Matamoros, 2016), there remains a problem of how to integrate cultural context (humour, geography, history, etc.) into our understanding of large social media data sets. Further, the increasing shift away from text-based communication towards visual methods, i.e. Instagram, instigates a methodological conundrum (Highfield and Leaver, 2016). Finally, while the efforts of Wills (2016), Fordyce et al. (2016), Bruns et al. (2016) and Dowd (2016) advance our understanding of ontologies and typographies of social media data, further work needs to be undertaken to standardise our collection and analysis methods of digital media. Collectively, these issues present problems in data gathering techniques, research design, university ethics and access for digital media research methods. We are seeking contributions from scholars for a ‘progression session’ at the 2016 Australia and New Zealand Communication Association (ANZCA) that can address one or many of the following: 1. What are the cutting edge examples of digital media methods in media and communication research? 2. How can we integrate cultural contexts into the broad computational approach of digital platform research? 3. How can we as media and communication researchers access digital media tools for our own projects? 4. How should we approach ontologies and/or typologies for digital media research? 5. How do we negotiate these emerging research areas with our university ethics boards? Contributions to this panel will form the basis for a collected edition on digital media research methods. Please send your 400 word abstract, noting which area you are addressing, to Jonathon Hutchinson at jonathon.hutchinson@sydney.edu.au before 26 February, 2016. -- For inquiries about this list, please contact: Dr Jason Ensor | Research & Technical Development, Digital Humanities School of Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University P +61 2 9685 9891 | F + 61 2 9685 9075 westernsydney.edu.au _______________________________________________ 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,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 0FBD7809A; Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:18:39 +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 2B3AB8093; Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:18:39 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7A59B8090; Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:18:36 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160209061836.7A59B8090@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2016 07:18:36 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.701 pubs: history; Journal of Scholarly 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 X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160209061839.9665.71083@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 701.

(This is a calendar linked to by ADHO and other organizations, which has been wholly dependent on user submissions.) We’ve recently given the calendar a design overhaul and major content update, expanding its scope to cover meetings in digital libraries & archives, DH, museums & digital cultural heritage, data curation, open science, digital publishing, and more. You’ll find the new calendar at its old URL, here: http://digital-conferences-calendar.info Although the DLF has committed to sustaining it over at least the next several years, the calendar remains a crowdsourced and community-based resource, and we welcome your contributions! Learn more about how to add or modify the occasional event, or volunteer to help us on a more consistent basis, so that we may keep the Community Calendar up-to-date for disciplines and fields that matter to you: https://www.diglib.org/archives/11350/ Dr. Bethany Nowviskie Director of the Digital Library Federation at CLIR Research Associate Professor of Digital Humanities at UVa diglib.org | clir.org | nowviskie.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, 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 547529F9; Thu, 11 Feb 2016 09:30:56 +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 A18E49CE; Thu, 11 Feb 2016 09:30:55 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4ED6F9CE; Thu, 11 Feb 2016 09:30:53 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160211083053.4ED6F9CE@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2016 09:30:53 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.704 events: pedagogy 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: <20160211083056.11390.95635@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 704. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 15:49:08 +0000 From: Ray Siemens Subject: CFP: Innovations in Digital Humanities Pedagogy @ DH2016 (11 July 2016, Krakow PL) Innovations in Digital Humanities Pedagogy: Local, National, and International Training A mini-conference and member meeting sponsored by the International Digital Humanities Training Network / ADHO Training Group 11 July 2016 @ Digital Humanities 2016, Krakow PL Applications Due: 15 February 2016 Acceptance Notification: 15 March 2016 Context: Only recently have the digital humanities begun to take firm root in the humanities curriculum, with institutions around the world now committing significant resources toward developing DH and integrating it in standalone courses, graduate degrees and undergraduate majors and minors within and across departments. With this commitment comes the realization that such formal implementation of DH and its siblings (e.g. digital social sciences, digital media, etc.) at a degree-granting level requires articulation of core requirements and competencies, identification and hiring of faculty who are capable of teaching DH in a variety of learning environments (coding, systems, application of methods), evaluating a broad spectrum of student work, and beyond. It also changes the foundational principles of the work of those in our network, as training increasingly involves learning how to teach competencies at the same time as we ourselves develop and maintain them in light of fast-paced advances. The International Digital Humanities Training Network is comprised of organizers of Digital Humanities training institutes and schools worldwide, formalised as the ADHO Training Group. Our gatherings include a member meeting of the International Digital Humanities Training Network / ADHO Training Group as well as mini-conferences devoted to specific topics that are important to our mission. Our gathering at DH2015 in Sydney facilitated reporting on innovations in the practice of DH pedagogy across borders. At this meeting, further needs were identified, particularly related to collaborating on and sharing programmatic materials, syllabi, rubrics and assessment metrics. Our meeting at Digital Humanities 2016 continues this important work. 2016 Focus, and Call for Proposals: For our 2016 mini-conference and meeting, we invite proposals for lightning talks and points of discussion from all those involved in DH training on all topics relating to DH training. We welcome proposals with a focus on ● ways in which individual universities, colleges, and other educational institutions are extending DH in the classroom. ● implementing DH pedagogical frameworks locally and working across institutions and training institutes to develop and collaborate on materials that can inform ways in which DH offerings and programs are formalized. ● assessment techniques in DH curriculum. 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 have been assessed. ● discussion of pedagogical materials, pre-circulated for critique and consideration. We are particularly interested in the submission of specific syllabi, tutorials, exercises, learning outcomes, assessment and rubrics that attendees might complete during the workgroup portion of the mini-conference. ● any topics that might further inform our discussion about DH training. Please send proposals of 1-2 pages with the subject heading “DH Pedagogy” to Ray Siemens, siemens@uvic.ca, by 15 February 2016. _______________________________________________ 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 B4D0DAD4; Fri, 12 Feb 2016 07:07:59 +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 17181ACD; Fri, 12 Feb 2016 07:07:58 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3A41CAB0; Fri, 12 Feb 2016 07:07:53 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160212060754.3A41CAB0@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2016 07:07:53 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.705 events: the Goettingen Dialog cfp 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="===============3518525849104379086==" Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160212060759.16507.78994@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org --===============3518525849104379086== Content-Type: text/plain Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 705.

Register at http://msuglobaldh.org/registration/ Featured speakers include: - Dorothy Kim - Alex Gil - Radhika Gajjala - Hoyt Long Digital humanities has developed in a range of disciplines and locations across the globe. Initially emergent from initiatives in textual encoding, database building, or critiques of design and media cultures, the field is increasingly drawn together. Present scholarship works at the intersections of what had been disparate approaches. Much digital humanities scholarship is driven by an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of histories, as well as present geographical and cultural positions. Projects that seek to bring grant resources from the West are often met with well-developed and challenging critiques emergent around the globe from communities deeply engaged in their own cultural preservation, as well as in building relationships with other similarly engaged scholars. This symposium, which will include an extended workshop and a mixture of presentation types, engages squarely with issues of power, access, and equity as they affect scholarship in the digital humanities. Invited speakers and local presenters at this two-day symposium will address how the interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities can and should speak to the global cultural record and the contemporary situation of our planet. Of particular interest is work relevant to or stemming from challenges in the Global South. The symposium seeks to strengthen networks of exchange among DH scholars nationally and internationally. Themes and topics of this symposium will include: - the practice of digital humanities across linguistic, economic, and technological divides - digital humanities in the light of current geopolitics - the environmental impacts of digital humanities research - the inflection of local accents in the practices and ethics of digital humanities Find out more about the symposium at http://msuglobaldh.org/about/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Specialist, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes@msu.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, 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 7D5DEBD9; Sat, 13 Feb 2016 09:21:14 +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 999B5B81; Sat, 13 Feb 2016 09:21:13 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 76813B81; Sat, 13 Feb 2016 09:21:11 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160213082111.76813B81@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2016 09:21:11 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.708 Darwin Letters: new website 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: <20160213082114.24707.32879@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 708.

So here are mine. I think it looks beautiful. It's very smooth and caters for the needs of the casual user and schoolchildren really well. But I think scholars would like to see a more detailed browse interface that summarises all the letters ordered by time, author or subject matter, etc. If you look at our Harpur site (charles-harpur.org) you'll see we organise the contents in a variety of ways, whereas you seem only to have search as a global entry point. Although you have more letters (8000) than our 700 poems you could lazy-load the indices. For example, our "By anthology" tab only loads the contents when you expand a link. Something similar might work in your case. I'm also rather surprised that facsimilies of the letters are not apparently included. A combined image+transcription page would be helpful and not too hard to do, as letters tend to be short.

Workshop on Semantic Web for Scientific Heritage, SW4SH 2016 http://www.cepam.cnrs.fr/zoomathia/sw4sh/ Important dates: - Due date for paper submission: March 11, 2016 - Notification of paper acceptance : April 1, 2016 - Camera-ready version of accepted papers: April 15, 2016 - Workshop: May 30, 2016 SW4SH 2016 will be held in conjunction with the 13th ESWC 2016 Conference which takes place between 29th May and 2nd June in Heraklion, Crete, Greece. SW4SH 2016 is a continuation of the SW4SH workshop series initiated at ESWC 2015 which aims to provide a leading international and interdisciplinary forum for disseminating the latest research in the field of Semantic Web for the preservation and exploitation of our scientific heritage, the study of the history of ideas and their transmission. Classicists and historians are interested in developing textual databases, in order to gather and explore large amounts of primary source materials. For a long time, they mainly focused on text digitization and markup. They only recently decided to try to explore the possibility of transferring some analytical processes they previously thought incompatible with automation to knowledge engineering systems, thus taking advantage of the growing set of tools and techniques based on the languages and standards of the semantic Web, such as linked data, ontologies, and automated reasoning. The iconographic data, which are also relevant in history of science and arise similar problematic could be addressed as well and offer suggestive insights for a global methodology for diverse media. On the other hand, Semantic Web researchers are willing to take up more ambitious challenges than those arising in the native context of the Web in terms of anthropological complexity, addressing meta-semantic problems of flexible, pluralist or evolutionary ontologies, sources heterogeneity, hermeneutic and rhetoric dimensions. Thus the opportunity for a fruitful encounter of knowledge engineers with computer-savvy historians and classicists has come. This encounter may be inscribed within the more general context of digital humanities, a research area at the intersection of computing and the humanities disciplines which is gaining an ever-increasing momentum and where the Linked Open Data is playing an increasingly prominent role. The purpose of the workshop is to provide a forum for discussion about the methodological approaches to the specificity of annotating “scientific” texts (in the wide sense of the term, including disciplines such as history, architecture, or rhetoric), and to support a collaborative reflection, on possible guidelines or specific models for building historical ontologies. The iconographic data, which are also relevant in history of science and arise similar problematic could be addressed as well and offer suggestive insights for a global methodology for diverse media. A key goal of the workshop, focusing on research issues related to pre-modern scientific texts, is to emphasize, through precise projects and up-to-date investigation in digital humanities, the benefit of a multidisciplinary research to create and operate on relevantly structured data. One of the main interests of the very topic of pre-modern historical data management lies in historical semantics, and the opportunity to jointly consider how to identify and express lexical, theoretical and material evolutions. Dealing with historical texts, a major problem is indeed to handle the discrepancy of the historical terminology compared to the modern one, and, in the case of massive, diachronic data, to take into account the contextual and theoretical meaning of terms and segments of texts and their semantics. Topics covered by the workshop include but are not limited to: - Ontologies and vocabularies in Ancient Science - Semantic annotation of ancient and medieval scientific texts - Information/knowledge extraction from archaeological objects and texts - Semantic integration of heterogeneous and contradicting knowledge - Representation of the historical dimension of Scientific Knowledge - Impact of Semantic Web technologies on Digital Humanities - Knowledge Engineering for ancient zoological science and literature - Social Web, collaborative systems, tagging, and user feedback Paper Submission: We invite short position papers (4-6 pages) and regular research papers (8-12 pages) describing innovative ideas covering the topics of the workshop. Submissions must be written in English and follow the LNCS guidelines. For details see the Springer LNCS Author Instructions page. Papers must be submitted via Easychair:https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sw4sh2016 . Accepted papers will be published in the CEUR workshop proceedings series.

Frankly, I am lost in this site. It is extraordinarily difficult, and more than a little frustrating, to get to the text of any one letter. There seems no way at all to carry out the simplest possible operation, available in any print edition, which is just to browse the letters one after another, day by day, as they were sent. After half an hour’s struggle, I have been able to find only a handful of actual letters. Yes, I can go straight to the famous 1844 letter from Darwin to Hooker. But I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to see all the other letters between Darwin and Hooker. Various of the links shown next to this letter go nowhere. It seems the only way I can find the letters (say) for Hooker is as follows: --- I can search for “Hooker” in the search panel — this returns me NOT just letters to/from Hooker but everything concerning Hooker — however, I can use “refine your search” on the top right just to select letters concerning Hooker — and then, I can select correspondent as Hooker just to give the letters to and from Hooker, and then I can browse them year by year. This does not seem to me a very straightforward procedure. Also, I too am surprised at the absence of any images of the actual letters. This does raise interesting questions about interfaces and their adequacy. I have for some time nursed a personal conviction that the people who gather the data should NOT be the people who make the interface to it. Not a popular point of view, but this website provides a lot of ammunition for the argument.

Fellows commit to teaching one course in the Digital Studies Certificate program while also spending a semester doing research. The DSC welcomes applications from those both within and outside of Rutgers University-Camden. Residency is not required, and fellows can propose online courses. Fellows have the option of teaching and conducting research in a single semester or may elect to split their activities between semesters in an academic year. Applications for the 2016-17 academic year are due February 24, 2016. Fellows are required to attend monthly meetings, either in person or virtually, in which they workshop research projects with the Director, the Associate Director, and other fellows. In addition, each fellow will deliver a research presentation to the Rutgers-Camden community. The Digital Studies Center is an interdisciplinary, collaborative research, development, and education center. The DSC helps kick-start, facilitate, support, and promote projects that are made possible by the convergence of digital technologies with the humanities as well as the arts, natural, and social sciences. The nature of digital studies and the DSC is one of collaboration, so it is our goal to bring faculty and students together across disciplines to work side-by-side. DSC Projects result in theoretical, critical, and practical forms. Furthermore, we offer programming in the form of workshops and project presentations. The DSC also offers a Certificate in Digital Humanities to undergraduates of Rutgers-Camden. For more information contact Jim Brown at jb1343@scarletmail.rutgers.edu.

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 (LINHD) in Madrid. For this reason, want to innovate and make the day more collaborative. We will boost multilingual participation and groupal cooperative activities. We are working on the website now, www.dayofdh2016.uned.es which will be opened for registration soon.

Submission deadline. 11 April 2016. Notification of acceptance. 16 May 2016. Final Camera Ready Versions Due. 11-13 July 2016. CMN’16. 11-16 July 2016. DH2016. ---WORKSHOP AIMS--- The workshop series, Computational Models of Narrative (CMN) is dedicated to advancing the computationally-grounded scientific study of narrative. Now in its seventh iteration, the workshop has a tradition of crossing academic borders and bringing together researchers from different disciplines on a common object of study. Narrative provides a model for organizing and communicating experience, knowledge, and culture. Investigations of narrative operations in textual, aural, and visual media have been systematically pursued in the humanities since before the early structural linguistics and folklorist inspired work of the Russian Formalists, and in the computing sciences since before the early cognitive science inspired work on scripts and frames. Research continues on computational approaches across the humanities and sciences. In order to appreciate the various domains and approaches connected to the computationally enabled study of narratives and narrative theory, it is becoming increasingly clear that research in this area requires engagement from many communities of interest. Peer-reviewed full proceedings from CMN’13, ‘14, and ‘15 are each available in the OpenAccess Series in Informatics (OASIcs) published by Schloss Dagstuhl; peer-reviewed proceedings from CMN’11 and CMN’12 were published by AAAI and LREC, respectively. ---SPECIAL FOCUS: COMPUTATIONAL NARRATIVE AND THE HUMANITIES--- This inter-disciplinary workshop will be an appropriate venue for papers addressing fundamental topics and questions regarding narrative. Papers should be relevant to the computational modeling, and scientific or humanistic understanding of narrative. The workshop will have a special focus on how the computational modeling, analysis, or generation of narrative has affected approaches in the humanities for studying and generating narrative in or across textual, aural, or visual media. Possible themes could connect to the representation of narrative, connections between cognition and narrative or knowledge representation and narrative, the use of heuristics to handle complexity, incorporation of insights about human thinking, the use of narrative to organize information in the humanities, the relationship between top-down and bottom-up approaches for narrative understanding, or how narrative is seen to function differently depending upon the medium. Regardless of its topic, reported work should provide insight of use to the scientific understanding or 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. We invite and encourage submissions either as full papers or position papers, through the workshop's EasyChair website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cmn16 We also invite you to submit an abstract soon so that we can gauge the number of submissions we can expect. (Submitting an abstract is possible without submitting the full paper at the same time.) Full papers should contain original research and have to fit within 16 pages; position papers can report on work-in-progress, research plans or projects and have to fit within four pages plus one page of references. Illustrative Topics and Questions - How can computational narratives be studied from a humanities point of view? - Are generative models of narrative texts, movies or video games possible, desirable, and useful? - 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? - How are narratives affected by the media used to convey them? - What aspects of cross-linguistic work has narrative research neglected? - What opportunities are there for narrative analysis across languages? - What makes narrative different from a list of events or facts? - How do conceptions and models of spatiality or temporality influence narrative and narrative theory? - What are the details of the relationship between narrative and language, image, or sound? - How is narrative knowledge captured and represented? - How are narratives indexed and retrieved? Is there a universal scheme for encoding episodic information? - 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? - 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? - How can narrative systems be applied to problem-solving? - How far are we from a theory of narrative adaptation across media? ---ORGANIZING COMMITTEE--- - Ben Miller (Georgia State University, USA) - Antonio Lieto (University of Turin, Italy) - Rémi Ronfard (Inria, LJK, University of Grenoble, France) - Stephen Ware (University of New Orleans, USA) - Mark A.

Following advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP), Text and data mining (TDM) is emerging as an invaluable tool for harnessing the power of structured and unstructured content and data. Hidden and new knowledge can be discovered by using TDM at multiple levels and in multiple dimensions. However, text mining and NLP solutions are not easy to discover and use, nor are they easy to combine for end users. Multiple efforts are being undertaken world-wide to create TDM and NLP platforms. These platforms are targeted at specific research communities, typically researchers in a particular location, e.g. OpenMinTeD, CLARIN (Europe), ALVEO (Australia), or LAPPS (USA). All of these platforms face similar problems in the following areas: discovery of content and analytics capabilities, integration of knowledge resources, legal and licensing aspects, data representation, and analytics workflow specification and execution. The goal of cross-platform interoperability raises many problems. At the level of content, metadata, language resources, and text annotations, we use different data representations and vocabularies. At the level of workflows, there is no uniform process model that allows platforms to smoothly interact. The licensing status of content, resources, analytics, and of the output created by a combination of such licenses is difficult to determine and there is currently no way to reliably exchange such information between platforms. User identity management is often tightly coupled to the licensing requirements and likewise an impediment for cross-platform interoperability. Target audience --------------- Language resources and technologies, NLP, computational linguistics, and text mining communities as well as their associated infrastructural initiatives. Motivation and Topics of interest --------------------------------- Workshop topics include but are not limited to: • cross-repository discovery of content, language resources, and analytics • uniform access to content repositories or heterogeneous data sources (content, knowledge) • extraction of textual content from heterogeneous sources • orchestration of analytics workflows composed from analytics from different sources • orchestration of cross-platform analytics workflows • linking knowledge sources and uniformly accessing them from analytics workflows • annotation schema design best practices • mapping and transformation between annotation schemata • dynamic deployment of analytics to computing resources • machine-interpretable representation of legal and licensing metadata • policy making for TDM for an international open research environment and open access publishing Format ------ The workshop is planned as an open-space event in which the workshop participants host and participate in discussions related to the topics of interest. We invite submissions of extended abstracts/short papers describing recent work, thoughts, or best practices on one or more of the topics of interest (up to 4 pages). All submissions will be reviewed using a simple blind process by at least three programm committee members and will be assessed based on their relevance, potential to create constructive discussion, and clarity of writing. The submissions must be formatted in compliance with the style sheet that will be adopted for the LREC Proceedings (to be announced later on the Conference web site). Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop in the form of a 5 minute lightning talk and included in the workshop proceedings. If there is an unexpectedly high number of submissions, we may consider accepting some as posters. At least one author of each paper is expected to register for the workshop. During the workshop, the author is expected to host or co-host a discussion group. We plan to align the topics of the discussion groups with the topics of the authors submissions. The hosts will take minutes which are to be aggregated into a report after the workshop. We wish to encourage authors to offer their help in the report writing process to the organizing committee. Important dates --------------- • Submission: February 25, 2016 *EXTENDED!* • Notification: March 10, 2016​ *EXTENDED!* • Camera ready: March 25, 2016 • Workshop: ​ May 23, 2016​ Share your LRs! --------------- Describing your LRs in the LRE Map is now a normal practice in the submission procedure of LREC (introduced in 2010 and adopted by other conferences). To continue the efforts initiated at LREC 2014 about “Sharing LRs” (data, tools, web-services, etc.), authors will have the possibility, when submitting a paper, to upload LRs in a special LREC repository. This effort of sharing LRs, linked to the LRE Map for their description, may become a new "regular" feature for conferences in our field, thus contributing to creating a common repository where everyone can deposit and share data. Identify, Describe and Share your LRs ------------------------------------- As scientific work requires accurate citations of referenced work so as to allow the community to understand the whole context and also replicate the experiments conducted by other researchers, LREC 2016 endorses the need to uniquely Identify LRs through the use of the International Standard Language Resource Number (ISLRN, www.islrn.org), a Persistent Unique Identifier to be assigned to each Language Resource. The assignment of ISLRNs to LRs cited in LREC papers will be offered at submission time.

How do gender, race and international relations affect publishing? How have things changed over the past sixty years? An interdisciplinary group of scholars and thinkers will consider the recent past and the contemporary reality of academic publishing. We will be discussing peer review and the evaluation of quality in scholarly publishing, where publication fits in structures of academic recognition and reward, and the business of publishing. Focusing on the twentieth and twenty-first century the workshop will be a space to discuss and share knowledge about the recent history of academic publishing. Confirmed speakers: Sue Clegg, Kelly Coate, Stefan Collini, Caroline Davis, Jack Meadows, Jennifer Saul and James Wilsdon. Attendance is free, but spaces are limited so booking is required. If you are interested in attending or have any questions, please contact Camilla Mørk Røstvik at: cmr30@st-andrews.ac.uk. The workshop is organized by the 'Publishing the Philosophical Transactions' project at the University of St Andrews. Conveners: Aileen Fyfe, Noah Moxham and Camilla Mørk Røstvik. The project is funded by the Arts & Humanities Research Council.

Tuesday 1 March ArtsTwo, 2.17 5.15-6.45pm "Early modernists working on English language material have experienced a seismic change in their research landscape with the ability to conduct full text search of printed works in Early English Books Online, Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Googlebooks and other resources. Hardly an essay, article or seminar paper goes by without reference to word frequency within the EEBO or ECCO corpus. But what of the endless acres of manuscript material that have never been edited and which are not machine-readable? At precisely the moment when basic quantitative methodologies in the humanities are becoming more normative-and when we could take further steps to introduce deeper quantitative approaches in our work-we are in danger of leaving the lion's share of material out of the reach of quantitative analysis. This talk will provide an overview of 'Shakespeare's World': a collaboration between the world-leading academic crowdsourcing group called Zooniverse.org, the Folger Shakespeare Library which heads up the Early Modern Manuscripts Online project, and the Oxford English Dictionary. 'Shakespeare's World', which launched in December 2015, invites members of the public to transcribe manuscript material from the Folger collection. The site has been designed to enable people to transcribe as little as one word on a page, and does not force users to guess or misread for the sake of page completion. Multiple volunteers transcribe independently, and their transcriptions are then compared using an in-house algorithm that detects differences between transcriptions as well as outputting an aggregated reading as well as a list of variant readings. The project will have launched with two genres available for transcription: recipes and letters, totaling c. 8,5000 pages. The Zooniverse crowd of ~1.4 million people will likely see several thousand try the project, and a few hundred stay for the longer term. Victoria hopes to identify material suitable for her British Academy postdoctoral fellowship work, which concerns early modern English Catholic women's life-writing. In addition to tracing the rationale and trajectory of this crowdsourcing project, the talk will present early finding as to the suitability of crowdsourced transcriptions for facilitating basic quantitative approaches to early modern manuscript studies." --[5]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 14:05:55 -0500 From: "James A. Hodges" Subject: (cfp) Extending Play 3: Temporalities of Play Call for Papers Extending Play 3: Temporalities of Play School of Communication & Information, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ Conference Dates: Sept. 30 & Oct. 1, 2016 Proposals Due: April 3rd “History is indeed absent from the game, absent as something finished, as a storyline in the past tense. What replaces it is a history workshop, a model of history as the intuition of algorithms and their consequences. The gamer is a designer.” --Mckenzie Wark, “Gamer Theory” Extending Play is back, and this iteration will play with the concept of time. We are looking for papers and presentations that excavate the past, interpret the present, and forecast the future of play and games. We aim to continue the mission of the previous two Extending Play conferences, to entertain all approaches to the traditions, roles, and contexts of play, extending it into far-flung and unexpected arenas. Extending Play 3 will take an inclusive and pluralistic approach to temporality and play, inviting creative applications of the concepts as they relate to all things playable - from games and moving images, to recorded sound and performance. Extending Play 3 asks important questions about the temporalities of play from emergent scholarly perspectives: Can media archaeology and game preservation revise the history of games and play? Do new methodologies, such as big data and network analysis force us to reconsider the predictability of play? Can queer temporalities of play produce new activist futures? How is gamification shaping our experiences of time? How are notions of time and play constructed by social scientists, humanists, preservationists, and policy researchers? We invite scholars, students, makers, artists, archivists, visionaries, game designers, and players to the third iteration of the Rutgers Media Studies Conference: Extending Play, to be held September 30 and October 1, 2016 on the Rutgers University campus in New Brunswick, NJ. Submissions are welcomed from scholars working in media studies and all related fields across the humanities and social sciences. We are excited to announce our keynote conversations: - Wendy Chun (Brown University) and Matthew Kirschenbaum (University of Maryland). - Jesper Juul (Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts), plus one more TBA. In keeping with the tripartite division of past, present, and future, Extending Play invites three types of submissions -- papers, panels, and interactive projects. The organizers invite traditional academic papers and panels of 3-4 presenters, along with any form of game, performance or display that submitters may wish to propose. In the past our conference has presented traditional research presentations alongside: - workshops, - playtests, - finished games, - technology demos, - performance art, - happenings that defy classification. For academic papers and panels, each presenter will have a maximum of 15 minutes to offer his or her ideas as a presentation or interactive conversation, and/or may adopt a more creative approach, incorporating such elements as: - material accompaniment (hand out a zine, scrapbook, postcards, etc) - performance (spoken word, song, verse, dance, recording, etc) - game (create rules and incorporate audience play) Possible topics could include, but are not limited to: Histories of Play - Historical approaches to leisure, recreation and play - History of video game consoles, arcades, cards, board games - Performance, intimacy, cosplay, and LARP - Urban play, play and city life Preserving Play - Game preservation in archives, libraries, and museums - Aesthetics of emulation, remediation, adaptation, and porting - Playable media in history: moving images and sound through time - Materialities of board games, game packaging, and control interfaces The Time of Play - Toys and play for children and adults - Playing with “lag”- network problems, hanging, buffering, glitching - Playing with narrative and storytelling - Political economies of play, (electronic) sports, and professionalizing play Playing with Time - Gamification and playing with learning, learning while playing - Activist time, queer temporalities, and time-bending play - Gamifying time, speedrunning, or playing with current events Predicting Play - Games of divination: I Ching, Tarot, Ouija, Palm reading, dice, oracles - Role of prediction in game studies methodologies (modeling behavior patterns, actions, etc.) - Prediction in game play, development of player networks - Playing with health and fitness, quantified selves and wearable technology Future of Play (Studies) - Affective potentials of technology and play - Adaptive play and dis/ability studies - What will be the role of scholars in the future of play and games? - How do cheaters change games? - What’s next for play and game studies? For additional ideas on how to play with media, play with time, or play with space during your presentation, visit our website at extendingplay.rutgers.edu. The deadline for proposals is Sunday, April 3, 2016. We invite individual proposals, full panel proposals, and proposals for games, workshops or other interactive presentations. Please use the submission form on our website at http://extendingplay.rutgers.edu/submit/ to submit an abstract of about 250 words. If you would like to submit supplementary materials, or have trouble with the form, email extendingplay@gmail.com. Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by April 30th, 2016. --- *james a. hodges* *school of communication & information* *rutgers university* *james.hodges@rutgers.edu * *@jameshodges_ * *908.461.8246* --[6]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2016 15:51:16 -0500 From: Ethan Henderson Subject: The Workshops: The Art of Text Looking for an intimate hands-on workshop this summer? The Kenyon Review Writers Workshop has the answer for you. The Art of Text Workshop http://www.kenyonreview.org/workshops/writers/literary-hybrid-book-arts/ blends techniques of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual arts to generate creative writings through the art of the book. Workshop is limited to 15 participants. Held on the picturesque campus of Kenyon College, June 25-July 1. Whether you are a writer curious to write in more genres, or an artist wishing to deepen your engagement with text, this workshop promises to open up a variety of creative practices to generate new content and form. This class is team taught by Gretchen E. Henderson http://www.kenyonreview.org/workshops/writers/faculty/#henderson and Ellen Sheffield . -- From a 2014 participant: *“I loved the attitude of play, of productive failure and corrective, creative embellishment–I’m learning to think about my text as material not only in forming it but also in re-vising and deforming it. Conferences were really helpful; I loved having open studio time; the space of the workshop was so friendly and warm and engaging that many of us stayed in the studio through meals, late into the night. This is perhaps the most productive creative environment I’ve ever encountered.”* _______________________________________________ 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 65D07CAD; Wed, 17 Feb 2016 07:17:39 +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 BFFC8C56; Wed, 17 Feb 2016 07:17:36 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8417AC56; Wed, 17 Feb 2016 07:17:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160217061734.8417AC56@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2016 07:17:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.719 Humanities Intensive Learning and Teaching Institute 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: <20160217061737.29555.6476@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 719.

HILT will be held June 13-16, 2016 with special events on June 17th in Indianapolis, IN, USA. Courses for 2016 include: *Building and Sustaining a Digital Humanities Center taught by Julia Flanders* Digital humanities centers are complex, situated ecosystems that operate within many different kinds of constraints. Starting one is difficult; running one is harder; keeping one going for the long term is hardest of all. This class will look at a range of different types of centers, considering a variety of institutional locations, staffing models, funding approaches, and research agendas. Using real-world cases drawn from the international digital humanities context and from class participants, we’ll investigate a series of practical challenges including communication mechanisms, data management planning, fundraising and fiscal strategies, engaging with students, and space planning. The course will give participants an opportunity to develop concrete plans for their own center (real or hypothetical), as well as a broader familiarity with existing models. Participants should be prepared to think through the practical and intelllectual challenges of establishing and maintaining a digital humanities or digital scholarship center. Familiarity with the general landscape of digital humanities will be assumed and will be important for participation. *Digital Pedagogy and Networked Learning taught by Lee Skallerup-Bessette and Amanda Licastro* Many argue digital humanities is about building stuff and sharing stuff, reframingthe work we do in the humanities as less consumptive and more curatorial—less solitary and more collaborative. In this workshop, participants will experiment with ways technology can be used to build learning communities within the classroom, while also thinking about how we can connect our students to a much larger global classroom. We’ll start at the level of the syllabus, thinking about how we organize and structure hybrid courses and digital assignments, before delving into specific tools and critical orientations to technology. Participants should expect that the workshop will be hands-on, collaborative, and iterative; we will be using and building, experimenting with the pedagogy we are learning, making our learning environment as we go. The course has no prerequisites. We will work together across skill levels, experimenting with new tools, while adapting and remixing our pedagogies. This isn’t about digital tricks or gimmicks, but a profound re-examination of how we teach. *Getting Started with Data, Tools, and Platforms taught by Brandon Locke, Thomas Padilla, and Dean Rehberger* Starting a digital humanities research project can be quite intimidating. This course is designed to make that process less so by exploring tools and platforms that support digital humanities research, analysis, and publication. We will begin by reframing sources as data that enable digital research. We will work throughout the week on approaches to (1) finding, evaluating, and acquiring (2) cleaning and preparing (3) exploring (4) analyzing (5) communicating and sharing data. Emphasis will be placed across all stages on how to manage a beginner digital research project in such a way that helps to ensure that your project remains accessible, that the process is well documented, and that the data are reusable. Throughout this course, we will examine several existing projects, and move through the process of collecting, cleaning, and structuring humanities data and sources and plugging them into tools and platforms to analyze, visualize, share, and publish the data and analysis. Exploration of these stages of project-building will include a technical walk-through, as well as an examination of the tools and their underlying methodologies. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own research material to work with, but sample data will be provided. *Humanities Making taught by Jeremy Boggs and Tassie Gniady* The goal of this class is to introduce students to a number of practices associated maker culture in the humanities and to prepare to students to continue to explore the issues surrounding humanities making at their home institutions. We will learn about: 3D object acquisition via photogrammetry using Autodesk’s Memento (currently in beta) for stitching and cleaning of models, 3D printing with the goal of having each student print a model, and fabrication with simple electronics and wearables/textiles. We will also engage in theoretical discussions related to making so that reflection is paired with action. Questions for consideration include: What are best practices to employ in the classroom? How do these differ from research practices? What values are embodies by maker culture? How do 3D objects and their dissemination / placement in digital spaces change understandings of cultural heritage? What is the role of making in the humanities? ​ *Humanities Programming taught by Brandon Walsh and Ethan Reed* This course focuses on introducing participants to humanities programming through the creation and use of the Ruby on Rails web application framework. This course will introduce programming and design concepts, project management and planning, workflow, as well as the design, implementation, and deployment of a web-based application. Primary technologies covered in this course will include the command line, Git and GitHub, HTML, CSS, Ruby, Rails, and relational (and non-relational) data stores, though others will be touched upon briefly. Over the course of the week, we will work through the practical implementation of developing and deploying a small-scale web application. *Text Analysis from Object to Interpretation taught by Katie Rawson and Scott Ebersole* While a range of freely available tools and excellent tutorials have made it easier to apply computational text analysis techniques, researchers may still find themselves struggling with questions about how to build their corpus and interpret their results. This course will approach text analysis from object to presentation. It covers not just the moment of feed-machine-text-get-results-back, but the process of managing materials and grappling with the meaning of results. Our class will be as much about the decisions and practices of text mining as about tools or step-by-step processes. Students who take this course will be able to: Find and prepare texts for analysis; Store, access, and document their text objects and data; Discuss their corpus-building decisions and textual data in ways that are methodologically and disciplinarily sound; Identify appropriate text analysis methods for a given question; Engage in text analysis methods that use word frequency, word location, and natural language processing; Articulate statistical, computational, and linguistic principles — and how they intersect with humanistic approaches to texts — for a few text analysis methods; Present the results of their computational work to non-experts.We will use primarily off-the-shelf tools that you can download or access for free (though we will have one section that will make use of R or Python). In some parts of the course, you will be able to develop your own materials; however, we will primarily work together from shared data sets that the instructors will provide. This course will be appropriate for people at all levels of technical expertise. Students should have administrative rights to load R and other software on their laptop. *Plus courses in GIS and Scalar!* *Sponsored student scholarships are available for undergraduate and graduate students as well as continuing professionals.* http://www.dhtraining.org/hilt2016/important-dates-costs/ Registration *Regular:* $975 *Early Career Scholars and Cultural Heritage Professionals:* $775 *Student:* $550 Registration fees includes admittance to one course, the HILT Ignite and Social, and a HILT swag bag as well as breakfast and lunch in our campus dining hall. http://www.dhtraining.org/hilt2016/important-dates-costs/ Register NOW http://www.dhtraining.org/hilt2016 _______________________________________________ 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 1FC4FCEF; Thu, 18 Feb 2016 07:07:03 +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 942CDCD7; Thu, 18 Feb 2016 07:07:01 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C03B8CD7; Thu, 18 Feb 2016 07:06:58 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160218060658.C03B8CD7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 07:06:58 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.720 Darwin Letters and Drupal 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: <20160218060702.10420.2034@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 720.

According to whatcms.org the Darwin Letters site uses Drupal. We have extensive experience with Drupal both on the AustESE project and on Charles Harpur. But we found that content management systems in general tend to do what it says on the tin: they manage content that *you* write. Whereas a digital scholarly edition is a collection of content that a historical author wrote. And the two types of content are not really compatible. To get the functionality we needed out of Drupal we ended up reducing its role to that of a mere container of our data and functionality. So in Charles Harpur less than 5% of the site is actually provided by Drupal. The needs of a scholarly edition are not the needs of a news or special interest site, but that is the kind of material a CMS is designed to manage. For example, handling variants, annotations, providing comparison tools and the many special visualisations required for a successful edition are hard to do inside a CMS using CMS tools. Although we are practised hypocrites in that we too have followed this route it does bias the site towards stuff you write as opposed to stuff the author in question wrote. I should add that in holding up charles-harpur.org as an example of interface things like browsing that this site is not yet complete.

This international summer school explores the increasing importance of algorithms in society and the socio-cultural transformations that this tendency implies. The point of departure is that algorithms become implicated in society and culture: for example in media narratives, in mundane artefacts, or in organizations. Through their output and functioning, algorithms come to classify, hierarchize, value and shape different social phenomena, often well beyond their initial purpose. The aim of this summer school is to address algorithms through a number of themes that shine light on different aspects of algorithms in society and culture: in big data, music, law, surveillance and medicine. The summer school takes place at a few thematically chosen venues in Stockholm: at some government agencies and private organizations. How do these organisations work with algorithms and how can we as scholars understand their omnipresence? *Themes* Algorithms and Music Algorithms and Law Algorithms and Surveillance Algorithms and Big Data Algorithms and Medicine *Confirmed Teachers* Baki Cakici (Goldsmiths, University of London) Bill Maurer (University of California, Irvine) CF Helgesson (Linköping University) Dennis Broeders (Erasmus University Rotterdam) Evelyn Ruppert (Goldsmiths, University of London) Nick Seavers (Tufts University) Pelle Snickars (Umeå University) Philip Roscoe (University of St. Andrews) *Where* The summer school will take place in beautiful summer Stockholm: the home town of Spotify, Dice, Paradox Interactive, Minecraft, the Pirate Bay, Candy Crush, and countless other digital actors and phenomena. The school is hosted by the Department of Thematic Studies: Technology and Social Change at Linköping University, Sweden. *Who should apply?* The summer school invites doctoral students from the social sciences and the humanities. *Application and Deadline* Fill in the application form below as well as a 500 word motivation on how the issues adressed in this summer school is relevant for your research.

There are a lot of findings which are based on experimental data about reasoning tasks, among others models for the selection task or the suppression task discussed by Byrne and others. This research is supported also by brain researchers, who aim at localizing reasoning processes within the brain. Automated deduction, on the other hand, is mainly focusing on the automated proof search in logical calculi. And indeed there is tremendous success during the last decades. Recently a coupling of the areas of cognitive science and automated reasoning is addressed in several approaches. For example there is increasing interest in modeling human rea- soning within automated reasoning systems including modeling with answer set programming, deontic logic or abductive logic programming. There are also various approaches within AI research. This workshop is a follow-up event of the successful Bridg- ing workshop (http://ratiolog.uni-koblenz.de/bridging.html) which was located at CADE-25. Like its preceding event, it is intended to get an overview of existing approaches and make a step towards a cooperation between computational logic and cognitive science. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: o limits and differences between automated and human reason- ing o psychology of deduction o common sense reasoning o logics modeling human cognition o modeling human reasoning using automated reasoning systems o non-monotonic, defeasible, and classical reasoning and possible explanations for human reasoning o application fields of automated reasoning in the interac- tion with human reasoners The workshop will be held in conjunction with IJCAI-16 and is supported by IFIP TC12.

The <> track engages digital technologies in the research and presentation of art historical questions. Common themes that can be explored are visualizing process, representing change over time, contextualizing displaced objects, and creating biographies of objects or collections of materials. The ideal candidate for the Digital Art History track seeks to engage digital tools in historical questions about works of art, buildings, and cities. The MA provides prepares students for advanced study and for future work in fields such as museum education and exhibition design, cultural heritage and preservation, public history, city planning, and architectural design. Students in this track engage in faculty-led research projects in the Wired! Lab for digital art history & visual culture. Funding may be available in the second and third semesters contingent on excellent work in the first semester of study. More information: http://www.dukewired.org/ma. The <> track emphasizes the study of visualization technologies in the context of media and technology histories, cultural analytics, and new media forms of expression. Computational Media topics include the manufacture and dissemination of humanities data and its expression, the social and ethical considerations of digital cultural heritage interventions, and the aesthetic and rhetorical value of computational media forms. The ideal candidate for the Computational Media track seeks deeper understanding of the intersection of quantitative and qualitative modes of historical and cultural research, is actively engaged in hands-on computational media production, and is interested in productive cross-overs between arts and sciences communities. This MA track prepares students for further graduate study in digital humanities and computational media and for training for jobs in media, design, advertising, and technical industries. Students in this program affiliate with one or more research labs or initiatives within the department. More information: http://sites.duke.edu/computationalmedia/ The MA program encourages applicants from across the Humanities and Social Sciences. _______________________________________________ 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 A51FFD42; Fri, 19 Feb 2016 07:07:36 +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 10ED2D37; Fri, 19 Feb 2016 07:07:33 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5EBE6D2D; Fri, 19 Feb 2016 07:07:29 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160219060729.5EBE6D2D@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2016 07:07:29 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.724 position at the Mellon; PhD studentship at De Montfort 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: <20160219060734.9809.11658@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 724.

In _The Technological Sublime_ David Nye documents how Americans have had sublime and "essentially religious" reactions to technology since their confrontation with the railroad. However, Nye's book doesn't trace the American encounter with computers. Moreover, the history ends in 1993 so one is left wondering whether the sublime is a category of experience that can be used to describe how 21st century Americans react to digitalized spaces. Are our aesthetic and emotional reactions to computers similar to the sublime reactions that Nye claims we've had when we've looked at dams, bridges, and the Apollo space mission? Or are our reactions to these technologies so different that they resist conflation with digital ones? In Vincent Mosco's _The Digital Sublime_ there's a pretty good attempt to apply Nye's framework to cyberspace. But this book which was published in 2005 in now itself ten years old and predates much that might be said about, say, the mobile revolution or Web 2.0. Hence my query. Sincerely, Luke http://lfernandez.x10host.com/me2/index.html --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2016 07:29:37 +0000 From: "Hahn, Barbara" Subject: Re: the digital sublime Hi - I like Rowan Wilken's "Unthinkable Complexity: The Internet and the Mathematical Sublime" in the edited collection _The sublime today_ (2012). It uses Kant's model of the sublime rather than Burke's and seems innocent of Nye altogether, and it's philosophical rather than historical (as are almost all treatments of the sublime) but I find it useful nonetheless. + + + + + Dr. Barbara Hahn Associate Professor, History Department, Texas Tech University (on leave 2014-2016) Associate Editor, Technology and Culture Marie Curie International Incoming Fellow School of History, University of Leeds @behahn http://ttu.academia.edu/BarbaraHahn _______________________________________________ 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 76420D61; Sat, 20 Feb 2016 09:24:42 +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 A01B6D4F; Sat, 20 Feb 2016 09:24:41 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 47B33D4F; Sat, 20 Feb 2016 09:24:39 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160220082439.47B33D4F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 20 Feb 2016 09:24:39 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.727 events: language & cultural heritage 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: <20160220082442.7826.92884@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 727.

August 11, 2016 Berlin, Germany https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-2016/ ****************************************************************** ** About the Workshop ** 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, LaTeCH 2014 at EACL in Gothenburg, Sweden and LaTeCH 2015 at ACL-IJCNLP 2015 in Beijing, China. ** 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 ** 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.

Like all things, it's very much a work in progress, particularly as far as the production values go. I'll get better as my equipment (and my ability to use it) improves, but the content will be of interest to those who share a concern for various strands of the Digital Humanities, such as e-lit. The first two episodes feature Michael J. Maguire , one of Ireland's most prominent e-lit artists, & Graham Allen , author of Holes, a work of digital poetry. You can find it here: http://culturalmechanics.org/ Anyone in the broader field of digital scholarship who might be interested in being a subject of an episode, do let me know. Enjoy!

EADH makes available one bursary of 300 EURO for participants of the 2nd EADH day whose proposal has been accepted. More information can be found at http://www.dhd2016.de/node/110 2. The University of Leipzig through its International Centre makes available two to three bursaries for members of its Eastern European partner universities and members of other partner universities. More information can be found at http://www.dhd2016.de/node/105 **Call for Participation** The second annual European Association for the Digital Humanities Symposium (EADH Day) will be held in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference of the Association Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum (Digital Humanities in German speaking regions) which takes place at the University of Leipzig from the 7th to the 12th of March 2016. The main theme of this conference is €œ**Modellierung - Vernetzung - Visualisierung. Die Digital Humanities als faecheruebergreifendes Forschungsparadigma** (Modelling - Networking - Visualisation. Digital Humanities as a transdisciplinary research paradigm). The 2nd EADH day will open the evening of the 7th of March and continue through the 8th of March until just before the opening of DHd 2016. The objective of EADH days is to raise awareness for DH research activities beyond the regional conference context. The format of EADH day is designed to facilitate exchange and networking initiatives among European DH research communities. Participants may contribute directly to the EADH Day agenda in two ways: Through presentations of a 5 minute** lightning talk** featuring either recent research developments or key topics of interest to the digital humanities community (e.g. *€˜The potential of Linked Data for annotating medieval music scores*€™). Participants wishing to present lightning talks should provide a two-page abstract of the presentation in English which will be made available online prior to the event. Through the proposition of a **challenge** for participants to address during the event related to the themes of: - Integrating research and teaching - Integrating different communities - Integrating the global and the local - Integrating different scholarly domains Challenges can be presented in creative ways. Round tables with respondents and / or speakers / audience sharing the stage in turns, multimedia presentations, short sketches, students's projects, are only some of the formats which come to mind. Challenges should take the form of an open question (e.g. *How do we teach Digital Humanities?*€™ *What is the social resonance of Digital Humanities?*€™, *What is the contribution of Digital Humanities to collective memory and public history€™?* etc.), with one or two paragraphs of text justifying their significance. Proposals need to be submitted via ConfTool (https://conftool.pro/dhd2016/). Information in English about the submission process ist available at: http://www.dhd2016.de/node/51. Lightning talks and challenges will be selected by an EADH panel. Presentation of a lightning talk or a challenge is not a requirement to particpate and anyone may register to attend the event via https://conftool.pro/dhd2016/. Participation in the 2nd EADH day is free of charge for registered participants of DHd 2016. For people who only choose to take part in the 2nd EADH day fees are as follows: **Members of EADH AOs / ADHO COs** Regular members 30,00 EURO Students (BA, MA), doctoral students without employment, unemployed 10,00 EURO **Non members of EADH AOs / ADHO COs** Regular participants 60,00 EURO Students (BA, MA), doctoral students without employment, unemployed 25,00 EURO EADH Day is supported financially and administratively by the European Association for the Digital Humanities (EADH) in collaboration with its Associated Organisations -- Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Burr Lehrstuhl Franzoesische / frankophone und italienische Sprachwissenschaft Institut fuer Romanistik Universitaet Leipzig Beethovenstr. 15 D-04107 Leipzig http://home.uni-leipzig.de/burr/ http://www.dhd2016.de/ http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/quebec/ http://www.uni-leipzig.de/gal2010 http://www.uni-leipzig.de/~burr/JISU --===============4666348431761006213== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ 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 --===============4666348431761006213==-- 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 C7D4BAFA; Tue, 23 Feb 2016 07:16:56 +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 2472CABD; Tue, 23 Feb 2016 07:16:55 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id AB1FFAC4; Tue, 23 Feb 2016 07:16:51 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160223061651.AB1FFAC4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 07:16:51 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.731 Jacob Burckhardt correspondence 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: <20160223061655.26545.68146@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 731.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2016 06:37:35 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: interdisciplinary forces and outcomes? This is a brief bit of speculation with a question at the end. My experiences as editor of a journal dedicated to interdisciplinary work across the disciplines suggests to me that despite all the bumf promoting claims to such work little of it actually happens -- for two reasons: it is in fact not rewarded, and few do not have much of idea how to go about doing it. But let's say for purposes of discussion that these two roadblocks are removed and that many competent, hard-working scholars begin doing it. It seems clear that interdisciplinary research is a very difficult row to hoe, and that the greatest of the difficulties is competence. (See Gillian Beer on this difficulty, https://www.dur.ac.uk/ias/news/annual_research_dinner/ .) So, if I am right, the likely outcome would be that these otherwise competent, hard-working colleagues would need a receptive but demanding audience able to respond to whatever was put to it. Let's assume that they do respond so that, in the end, a reasonable level of competence in these interdisciplinary ventures is achieved. What is wrong with this utopian picture apart from the obvious? My reason for posing the question here is that digital humanities is necessarily interdisciplinary. And that leads to an additional question: if its interdisciplinary nature isn't recognised and developed, what happens to it? Comments?

Workshops: 5 October 2016 Main Conference: 6-8 October 2016 Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany AoIR 2016 is the 17th annual conference of the Association of Internet Researchers, a transdisciplinary gathering of scholars interested in the place of networked technologies in social processes. This year's conference ist jointly hosted by the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society and the Hans-Bredow-Institut for Media Research. AoIR 2016 will emphasize the relevance of the Internet in today’s culture and politics. The conference theme addresses the significance of the codes and rules that frame the Internet, as well as their playful circumvention, from technical protocols and popular platforms to the emerging, established, and contested conventions of online communities. Who are the actors both in practices of rule-making and rule-breaking, what are their motivations and resources, and how can their power relations and communicative figurations be described? How does the Internet influence the proliferation of the values that its platforms, services and infrastructures embody, and what spaces of creative resistance persist? How do various forms of technical, social, and cultural hacking subvert these orders? The committee calls for proposals for papers, panels, workshops, roundtables, and other events that engage with the conference theme or the field more generally. Topics could include (but are not limited to): - coordination and rule-making online - media, culture and identity - (h)activism and social justice - critical approaches to algorithms, platform studies - codes and practices of internet culture - connected devices and the internet of things - big data and predictive analytics - techno-social interfaces - digital labor, crowdsourcing and co-creation - internet governance and regulation - (global) social media - communication, participation and polarization online - philosophy of information and knowledge We particularly invite submissions that engage with or challenge the conference theme in new and exciting ways, are innovative, or present a novel approach to the topic. We encourage “experimental sessions” that extend research in unusual directions (via method, topic or presentation structure). We also welcome submissions on topics that address social, cultural, political, legal, aesthetic, economic, and/or philosophical aspects of the internet beyond the conference theme. The committee extends a special invitation to students, researchers, and practitioners who have previously not participated in an Internet Research event to submit proposals. *PROPOSALS* We seek proposals for several different kinds of contributions to encompass the breadth of relevant research. We welcome proposals for traditional academic conference PAPERS, organized PANELS, ROUNDTABLES, FISHBOWLS, EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS, and PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS. We invite proposals that will focus on discussion and interaction among conference delegates. Finally, doctoral students are invited to participate in the DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM preceding the main conference. *IMPORTANT DATES* 15 January 2016 Submission site opens for AoIR 2016 in Berlin 1 March 2016 Submissions due for PAPERS, PANELS, ROUNDTABLES and FISHBOWLS, EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS, and PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS 15 March 2016 Nominations for Nancy Baym Book award and Best Dissertation Award due 5 May 2016 Notification of acceptances for presenters 15 June 2016 Applications due for conference travel SCHOLARSHIPS and for DOCTORAL COLLOQUIUM 1 August 2016 Early Bird Registration Deadline for all presenters For further information and updates, please visit the conference website at aoir.org/aoir2016. *SUBMISSION TYPES* Traditional papers: Paper submissions should articulate the issue or research question to be discussed, the methodological or critical framework used, and indicate the findings or conclusions to be presented and/or the relevance to wider conference themes. Papers can present any kind of research or analysis, but should be written so that the importance of the work can be understood by reviewers working in different disciplines or using different approaches. Cross- or trans-disciplinary work is especially encouraged. Paper submissions should be approximately 1200 words long, including references. Please note that paper submissions must adhere to AoIR’s pre-formatted template and should give an indication as to the consistency, rigor and relevance of the work. (More information on submission formats and templates available here: aoir.org/aoir2016/submissions) Presentations at the conference are generally intended to be dynamic, and provide a broad overview of the scholarship being engaged, with the hope of generating useful conversation. Preconstituted panels: Panels should present a coherent group of papers on a single theme. Panel proposals should include 1200-word abstracts as above for each of the constituent papers, as well as a brief statement articulating the papers’ relationship to each other. It is recommended that panels include four papers, although submissions of three to five papers will also be considered. The organizer is responsible for compiling the proposal into a single document for submission. Preconference workshops: Workshops may be either half or full-day events that occur on the first day of the conference and focus on a particular topic. They may be a workshop of some kind (e.g., a publishing workshop), a methodological “bootcamp” (e.g., on ethnography or statistical analysis), an exploration of a theoretical tradition or topical area (e.g., symbolic interaction, political economy, or GIS) or anything else that may be of interest to conference delegates. Proposals for workshops should explain for a general scholarly audience the goals of the workshop, the way it will operate, and an indication of potential audience or attendees who may be interested in attending (such as “early career scholars” or “researchers using statistical analysis”). Proposals for workshops should be approximately 600-800 words in length, and should name the workshop facilitators. Roundtable Sessions: Roundtables encourage discussion and interaction among delegates. They may involve brief introductory presentations by organizers. Proposals should include details on the theme or topic of discussion and its relevance, along with names of the organizers/initial participants. Roundtables can include no more than 5 initial participants. Roundtable submissions should be between 250-300 words long (to be included as the “abstract” in the submissions process–no separate document need be uploaded). Open Fishbowls: Fishbowl sessions should cover broad topics of interest to a wide segment of the AoIR community, and create a space for dialogue across different types of research. Submitted proposals should include a brief statement as to the core idea or theme for the fishbowl, emphasizing its relation to conference themes or relevance to the IR community. Fishbowls can include no more than 5 initial participants (named fish). Experimental Sessions: Experimental sessions are those that, while of interest to members or engaging with conference themes, meaningfully “push the envelope” beyond more traditional forms of conference engagement and participation and as such do not fit into any of the other proposal formats. Examples may include Ignite or pecha-kucha presentations, demonstrations, performances, installations, short-form workshops, unsessions, maker or code-based projects, or interactive experiences. Proposals for experimental sessions should describe for a general scholarly audience the goal or idea of the session and how it will operate, and discuss why the proposed format will be of interest to AoIR delegates. Organizers of experimental sessions will be responsible for supplying any necessary equipment beyond that usually provided for conference presentations, and should be prepared to coordinate closely with the conference committee as necessary to enable a successful presentation of the alternative format. To encourage this kind of submission, we are again offering the “Halavais Prize for Weirdness” this year for the most interesting and successful submission in a non-traditional format. Doctoral Colloquium: The Association of Internet Researchers believes that its emerging researchers are the best in its disparate constituent fields. In keeping with its commitment to students’ scholarship, we continue the tradition of bringing emerging and established scholars together through the AoIR 2016 Doctoral Colloquium. The colloquium offers PhD students working in internet research or a related field a special, day-long forum, to be convened on 5 October 2016. For many years, this pre-conference event has provided students with the opportunity to a concentrated amount of time with senior scholars to share research projects, address methodological and theoretical challenges, and exchange informal advice on juggling the multiple pressures associated with job searching, publishing, and finishing the dissertation Interested students should prepare a) a two-page summary of your research. This should provide a context for the research, describe the methods being used, the progress to date, and primary concerns and issues; and b) A brief statement indicating why you want to participate in this doctoral colloquium and what you hope to get out of it. These are due on or before 15 June 2016. For further questions, don't hesitate to contact Ben Light, the doctoral colloquium chair, at aoir2016dc [at] aoir [dot] org. *CONFERENCE SCHOLARSHIPS* In order to increase the diversity of participation in the AoIR conferences, the Association of Internet Researchers makes available conference fee waivers and partial travel stipends ($500) per year. The number of fee waivers and travel stipends will depend first of all upon the ability of the conference budget to sustain such waivers (a judgment to be made by the AoIR Executive Committee upon the advice of the AoIR Treasurer and the local organizing committee) as well as upon the quality of the applications for fee waivers. Conference scholarships are made available only to participants who have had papers accepted via the peer review process, and applications are due on 15 June 2016, after acceptances have been announced. More information will be made available regarding the scholarship application process at the conference website: aoir.org/aoir2016. *CONTACT INFORMATION* Please address any questions to the conference chair, Cornelius Puschmann, Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society, aoir2016 [at] aoir [dot] org. ================================ -- Dr. Cornelius Puschmann Postdoctoral Researcher (DFG) Berlin School of Library and Information Science (BSLIS) Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Dorotheenstraße 26 10117 Berlin, Germany www.ibi.hu-berlin.de Research Associate Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) Oberwallstraße 9 10117 Berlin, Germany www.hiig.de Faculty Associate Berkman Center for Internet and Society, Harvard University 23 Everett Street, Second Floor Cambridge, MA 02138, USA cyber.law.harvard.edu p: +49 7541 6009-1321 e: cornelius.puschmann@hiig.de e: cpuschmann@cyber.law.harvard.edu w: cbpuschmann.net --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 16:45:33 +0000 From: Ray Siemens Subject: Spatial Humanities conference, Lancaster, UK In-Reply-To: <3684C4F640915C4E8780EF8E3E0239ED0EF6E32C@EX-1-MB0.lancs.local> > From: "Gregory, Ian" > Spatial Humanities 2016 Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK 15-16th Sept 2016 This major European conference is concerned with the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and other spatial technologies in humanities research. The main aim of the conference is to explore and demonstrate the contributions to knowledge that these technologies enable within and beyond the digital humanities. We welcome submissions on all aspects of using GIS in humanities research from database development to applied research in which spatial technologies have made a contribution to understanding of the past.

With generous funding from the National Science Foundation and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (Canada), we’ve been able to extend the datathon program, and are excited to bring this program to the Library of Congress.** The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. This hackathon presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This hackathon will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to hackathon, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language such as Python strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. Thanks to the generous support of the National Science Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the University of Waterloo’s Department of History, the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the University of Waterloo, and the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University, we will cover all meals and refreshments for attendees. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the hackathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: • the .gov web archive covering the American government domain • Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups collection Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Matthew Weber (matthew.weber@rutgers.edu ) by 15 March 2016 with “Archives Unleashed” in the subject line. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the hackathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by 25 March 2016. We have a limited number of travel grants available for graduate students; preference will be given to those who have not participated in the Archives Unleashed program in the past, although we welcome returning participants. These grants can cover up to $750 in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant. A letter of support from your graduate supervisor will also strengthen your application.

Less time is spent on border skirmishes. This doesn't mean that a field cannot not be open to modes of questioning that come from elsewhere -- it just means that "recognition" is not characterized as flag waving. Interdisciplinarity is so often deployed like a mountain to be conquered. It becomes other when viewed as the simple importation of an "if". -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ 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 439EBC43; Thu, 25 Feb 2016 06:55:09 +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 94D46C21; Thu, 25 Feb 2016 06:55:07 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 02BC7BFB; Thu, 25 Feb 2016 06:55:03 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160225055504.02BC7BFB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 06:55:03 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.738 visiting fellowships 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="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160225055508.32347.79787@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 738.

Some discussion here and elsewhere would be good to see. --WM] CALL FOR PAPERS Representing scientific results: Forms of knowledge Workshop, November 18-19, 2016 - University of Kassel, Germany Organized by Nina Kranke and Robert Meunier Investigating the forms as well as epistemic and social roles of scientific representations has been an important part of science studies in the last 30 years. Representations in science are as heterogeneous as science itself. Accordingly, the literature is vast and there is no unique definition, but, at best, some family resemblance between the things we address as representations in science. This workshop takes a more specific look at scientific representations, while remaining open to the variety of formats and media used. It focusses on a specific role of representations: Representing results of research. Representation in research and representing results of research The category of a result of scientific research is at the same time the most obvious and a somewhat underappreciated aspect of representation. After the practical turn in science studies, results seem remote from where the action is in science. Furthermore, the focus on results runs the risk of falling back on time worn distinctions like the one between representation and the world represented or the context of discovery and the context of justification. Indeed, observation and experimentation isolate and fabricate phenomena, use material models and generate inscriptions. They abound in representations. These items are mainly presented as methods or as evidence. They can, however, under some circumstances also be used to represent results, posing the question of the difference between evidence and results. Other items such as diagrams are predominantly used to represent results, but they often also play a role in the reasoning processes that accompany research. The differences lie mainly in the role representations play rather than in the formats or media. We suggest to revisit representations of results and ask: What can we learn about knowledge production by focusing on the form of the product? Forms of knowledge and formats of representation Research typically aims at knowledge of a certain type: The composition of an object, causal relations, statistical correlations, a taxonomy, a genealogy, or a network of agents, and possibly many other forms of knowledge. We can identify such forms of knowledge by looking at and abstracting from the representations of results. Representations thus indicate what counts as result in different situations. We can also identify types of representations that are associated with or predominantly used to represent knowledge of a given form (maps, statistical graphs, diagrams of mechanisms, tree diagrams, or network graphs among others, and, of course, various forms of linguistic representation). It seems that no form of knowledge is bound to a single format or medium of representation, but not all knowledge can be represented in every format. Furthermore, formats differ with regard to cognitive accessibility or the amount or dimensionality of information that can be transported. * What is the relation of forms of knowledge and formats and media of representation? * How are formats and media chosen and how, and under what circumstances are results translated between formats and media? Working towards results and starting from results Focusing on the representations of results shall not imply to ignore research activity. But research activity can be looked at from the perspective of the kind of representations if produces. Additionally, the actual crafting of representations of results is an activity that might include the translation of some forms of representation used in the research process (working models, inscriptions) and the use of specific tools for data visualization. Furthermore, representations of results are no dead ends. A result might be used in further research or in extra scientific projects and its usability might depend on its format as well. * How does the form of representations of results shape research activities that are meant to lead to representations of that form? * How are measurements, traces or facts generated in the research process translated into representations of results? * How does the form of results enable and influence their use in further research? Communicating results and organizing interaction Representations of results are used to communicate results to the scientific community or other actors. They are geared towards convincing people, i.e. they have rhetorical side. This might influence the choice or style of formats used. Furthermore, representations of results are shaped by and organize interaction among individuals and groups in terms of standardization of formats and coordinating collaborative work. * How do representations of results organize the exchange and interaction between various groups within science and between scientists and other parties involved? The workshop seeks to bring together papers focusing on case studies concerned with representations of results in various natural and social sciences from the perspective of philosophy of science, history of science, STS, semiotics, cultural and media studies and related fields that address, in one way or another, one or several of the questions raised above. Confirmed invited speakers are: Rasmus Gr?nfeldt Winther (UCSC) and Marion Vorms (Birkbeck University, London, Universit? Paris 1). Evening lecture: Hans- Jörg Rheinberger (MPIWG Berlin) We invite submissions of abstracts for individual presentations of 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes of discussion.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2016 15:09:02 +0000 From: "Tonra, Justin" Subject: PhD scholarship in Digital Humanities at NUI Galway The National University of Ireland, Galway invites applications for a four-year scholarship in the Digital Arts & Humanities structured PhD programme, to commence in September 2016. The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 15 April 2016. Applications are made via the Postgraduate Application Centre: http://www.pac.ie/nuig (see below). Introduction Digital Arts & Humanities (DAH) is a full-time four-year interdisciplinary structured PhD programme. The PhD programme is linked to an all-Irish university consortium committed to developing postgraduate education and training in the Digital Arts and Humanities. DAH is a field of study and research which develops the combined creative potential of new computing software programmes, data aggregation, visualisation, information management, text analysis and text mining, and digital media of different kinds. The programme at NUI Galway, established in 2011, enables students to carry out research in this area at the highest level by engaging with leading academics and practitioners. The DAH Structured PhD programme provides the research platform, structures, partnerships and innovation models for fourth-level researchers to engage with a wide range of stakeholders in order to contribute to the developing digital arts and humanities community world-wide. It includes both practice-based research in digital art and media and the use of digital tools in the scholarly analysis of cultural texts. For the student, DAH will promote advanced practical and academic research in applying innovative models of arts practice and theory, humanities research, archiving, and pedagogy. The programme also provides coherent exposure to transferable skills in digital content creation that will be academically and professionally beneficial. Programme Structure Candidates enter the programme via the Humanities or the Arts strands (in the Moore Institute or Huston School respectively). In each strand, students complete training and career development modules, including modules taught at NUI Galway as well as modules accessible through partner institutions. The overall aim of the taught modules is 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 create an enabling framework for students to develop generic and transferable skills to complete the required work for the award of the PhD. Work placements at pertinent institutions may also form part of the scholarship. Year 1: Students select a number of educational modules from a range of courses and workshops delivered at NUI Galway and at partner institutions. These modules provide a grounding in essential research skills and transferable skills together with access to specialist topics. Years 2-3: Work on PhD research projects is supplemented with access to elective modules. Year 4: Dedicated to completion of PhD. Application Process NUI Galway invites applications for four-year scholarships for the DAH programme; scholarships are valued at €16,000 plus fees per annum. Entrants will be expected to have a first-class or upper second-class honours degree within a relevant discipline. Candidates who have applied previously to the DAH programme may apply for this scholarship only with a new proposal. Applications are invited in the area of Digital Humanities. Proposals for Digital Arts research are not sought for the 2016 scholarship. Digital Humanities proposals should include a strong digital component, either as a core method of research and dissemination, or as a subject of research in itself. Proposals may address any topic within Digital Humanities, including (but not limited to): archives & preservation; authorship attribution; classical studies; corpus analysis; crowdsourcing; historical studies; interdisciplinary collaboration; internet history; literary studies; natural language processing; ontologies; scholarly editing; stylistics and stylometry; text-mining; textual studies; visualisation. Previous DAH students have also worked closely with researchers at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in Galway (https://www.insight-centre.org/). Prospective applicants should identify and indicate potential supervisors for their research proposal: http://www.nuigalway.ie/findasupervisor/ For further information please contact Professor Daniel Carey, Moore Institute (daniel.carey@nuigalway.ie) or Dr Justin Tonra, Discipline of English (justin.tonra@nuigalway.ie). Application should be made online at the Postgraduate Application Centre: http://www.pac.ie/nuig - PAC code: GYG38. One sample of academic writing (e.g. a recent BA or MA course essay) and a 1500-word research proposal should also be submitted through PAC. The proposal must be structured under the following headings: 1. Description of proposed research (800 words) This section should describe clearly the subject and scope of your research, and the proposed outcomes in terms of the creation of new resources, tools, knowledge transfer, etc. You should indicate the critical problems or questions you propose to address in the thesis component of your PhD, as well as any digital outputs that may arise from your work. 2. Context (350 words) This section should describe, as far as you can tell, the extent of the existing academic and digital work in your area of interest. You should be able to explain how your research will challenge or extend this existing situation. 3. Methodology (250 words) Here you should describe the specific methodologies and technologies you expect to employ. 4. Sources and Archives (100 words) Give a preliminary indication of the primary and secondary material you expect to work with. 5. Evidence of previous achievements in digital media or art practice (for practice-based PhD applicants only). Closing Date for Applications is 5pm on Friday 15 April 2016. -- 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, 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 9D87EC64; Fri, 26 Feb 2016 07:28:25 +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 F127EC4C; Fri, 26 Feb 2016 07:28:24 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 963FDC4C; Fri, 26 Feb 2016 07:28:22 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160226062822.963FDC4C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 07:28:22 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.742 Mellon award to HathiTrust 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: <20160226062825.18506.58868@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 742.

In-Reply-To: <20160226081209.DD54CC4B@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Oliver Wendell Holmes, as recounted by Kaja Silverman here, needs a rebuttal in a form I don't usually use ... I believe this, but it seems to contradict what we usually think we believe. A photograph can never represent reality. It can never be a picture of reality. It may only tell you something about reality. (Similarly, a model can never be a representation of reality, but it may help us understand something about some part of reality, past, present, future, or possible.) The evidence for this is easy to come by, for all of us. For example, my walk to and from work takes me past the bay of Donostia / San Sebastián, with its island in the middle and the open sea of the Bay of Biscay beyond. Every time I go past this scene it's different, despite it being at about the same times of day--different weather, light, season, state of the tide, strength of the sea, etc. I have plenty of photographs that show its always different. If you attempted to capture the variability and variety of this reality you'd need to set a camera to continuously take photographs every few seconds, or less. But then, viewing this representation would take as long as looking at the reality, and still not give you all the variety that the reality really displayed. And, of course, the next day would be different, and the one after that, then the month, the year, the century ... All realities are like this, endlessly variable and variety laden. This essence cannot be made to inhere in any number of photographs, such that they may be used instead of the reality; so that the reality can be disposed of, as Wendell Holmes suggests. I'm reminded here of "On Exactitude in Science" ["Del rigor en la ciencia"] by Jorge Luis Borges. It was the map that was thrown away! And of Lewis Carroll's "Sylvie and Bruno" in which a map was made with a "scale of a mile to the mile," but which presented some practical difficulties, leading one of those who made it to remark that "we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well." And of Rod Brooks--pioneer of Behaviour Based robotics, and a co-founder of iRobot, maker of the Roomba--who said, in reaction to classical representation-based approaches in Artificial Intelligence, that "the world is its own best representation." And of Philip Metres' "Yuri Gagarin's Spaceship," which starts No detailed pictures of Soviet space ships were ever released: thus, this artist's conception on the Jell-O box is pure conjecture: it looks like a telescope, half-collapsed, eye-windowed, just a soup can nesting inside a soup can, Warhol meets Matryoshka Doll. It's alright, Mama, I'm only flying in my umwelt, outside of which there is no breathing. The world is its own best representation: . . . You must keep throwing away the photographs if you want to keep seeing the realities of being in the world. Throwing away the world makes fictions of the photographs. You must never let your representations get between you and the world you seek to understand. (They will often try hard to do this!)

From a practical perspective, this integration requires engagement across key disciplines, including movement studies, kinesiology, kinematics, biomechanics, biomedical science and health studies, dance science, sports science, and computer science. This development has also provoked theoretical and critical discourse that has tried to preserve, based on its grounding on bodily and kinetic practice, the differentiation of lived-in and body-specific knowledge. Here is a mode of datarization perhaps closer to what Deleuze (1988) called “immediate datum”: i.e. information stemming not from an abstract and re-moved conceptualization, but from real-world experience of movement, and the immediate perception or capture of kinetic information through physical or sensorial means. Within the field of software studies, advancing a sense of digital materialism has raised concerns for the materiality of technological media, for instance by focusing on the physical constraints of data storage, or the material dimension of computing. But what about “immediation”, i.e. immediate computation of bodily movement by machines for immediate expression, representation or enactment in digital contexts? And what of the representability of such immediation? How can we describe movement and preserve its datum of difference within a scriptable or graphicable computer language without falling into a universal sameness, a movement without bodies? Whilst the idea that immediate data may demand a “bodying forth” (Thrift 2008), a traffic of bodiliness from biological to technological contexts, it is necessary to de-homogenise the ‘body’ category. Perhaps what is needed is an understanding of “corporeality” that assume multidimensional and relativistic realities of bodies instead, opening up nuanced discourses based on specific body-related ontologies (corpuscles, builds, anatomies, skeletons, muscle systems) all making up a non-singular sense of the bodily real. As such, this collection poses the problem of criteria. Our question is this: how and to what effect does the research community adopt arbitrary criteria in order to compute the body and bodily movement? Can we define narratives emerging from this body-computing arbitration to provoke a critique? There is a possible tension between “bodying forth”— the idea of a single body operative across both biological and computational contexts—and corporeal relations. We would like to focus this critical edition on the relations between differentiated anatomical or bodily systems (skeletal, muscular, nerve, etc.), and different modes of computation, as well as different theoretical discourses stemming from this experiential basis. If we recognize the problem of relationality we must assume that more than one complex set of co-relations meet when the machine computes the moving human body. How do we start the process of computer-generated learning in terms of selecting body parts, functions, organs, processes, on the one hand, and key languages, code, or indeed technological tools for capture on the other? To what extent does corporeal computing contribute to certain bodily systems (or perhaps even body types) becoming the key agents of action, and indeed learning, in such contexts? How do we respond critically to privileged systems (the skeletal, the muscular), and body types (so called ‘normal bodies’)? To what extent are computational paradigms still dominated by spatial, extensive and quantitative determinations (i.e. the tracking of skeleton, body geometry, kinematic shapes, etc.) that hide other, more intensive, modes of corporeality? And finally, how do we reintegrate the multiplicity of the corporeal in a computational synthesis? For instance, how can we understand the quantitative and qualitative (dynamics, effort, tone, intensity, etc.) as overlapping data priorities? Topics or projects might include: * Computable relations between bodies and digital avatars, digital dance representations, digital sports representations, digital health representations, digital animation— digital bodies in general. * Computable relations between biological bodies and robotic systems. * Computing relations between physical movement and abstract thought, automated thought (AI) or machine learning. * Computing mobility studies (i.e. relations between body and automobile, body and assisted mobility machines, body and prosthetics). * Computing sociokinetic material (i.e. computing the movement of groups of bodies). * Affective corporeal computing— the capacity to process psychophysical and cognitive processes within corporeal movement (e.g. computing effort, dynamics, tonicity, emotion). * Integration of quantitative and qualitative body datasets. * Metabody theory and notions of meta-anatomy, meta-strata in the ontological literature (i.e. movement of digital ghosts, sprites, techno-animism, etc.) 750 word abstracts are due April 17th.

Here is a question. Presumably most of us already know that the plural of the philosophical term "ontology" (that which exists) is commonplace in computing. We speak "ontologies" to refer models of that which is defined to exist within particular contexts or artificial worlds. What I would like to know is how often (and some examples of where, if possible) "ontology" is used in the artificial context explicitly, consciously to refer to an imaginary or hypothetical world, not the real one -- in which there is no intention to approximate that which exists.

I am pleasantly confused by it all and have put in an order for Silverman's book. I love your poetic stance, Tim, but must ask one question. Without representation (verbal, visual, logical, mathematical, etc.), how does one share what one seeks to understand of the world? And is there any seeking or understanding at all without images and morphemes and numbers? Aren't we "just" bathing in the flux? Not that I have anything against meditative appreciation of the tides of the universe. But as a humanist, the only traces of humanity that have advanced my own understanding of the (human) world are representations (and activities of representing) that necessarily lie between us humans and the world. Forgive me if I am hors sujet! And thanks again for your stimulating thoughts.

In-Reply-To: <20160227085741.4CDE2CD6@digitalhumanities.org> I'm not sure if it is completely addressing Willard's question but the OntoMedia Ontology was specifically developed to describe narratives within fictional settings. Our particular target was science-fiction and fantasy because we felt that if we could reasonable describe those settings then we could describe pretty much anything else. The ontology deals with the unreal by allowing an area of shared truth to be proscribed - in OntoMedia called a 'Context' - and all things within it are perceived as having a shared level of reality, whether the Context describes a fictional universe, a dream state, a hypothesis of events or a construct describing a future ideal etc. In this way linkage of things, be they events - for example the same event across multiple universes - or objects, as well as travel between entirely separate universes with different levels of reality - Alice visiting Wonderland for example - is also possible. The ontology's primary goal is to describe these imaginary worlds and while that description can be tied back to the media through which the ideas are expressed be they book, movie or whathaveyou that is of secondary importance and the things being described may not even have that much tie to things which we, in our reality, think of as existing. Of course, the ontology could also be used to describe 'reality' (indeed there is a reserved conceptual space for the description of things that fall into that realm) but other ontologies had that covered in much more depth while at the same time had a bit more of an issue with things that didn't necessarily follow a consistent logic or contained many 'impossible objects' so we prefer to leave reality to them and stick with the impossible and the fantastical. OntoMedia also has a stepchild the Stories ontology which is also aimed at describing fiction and interpretations thereof but in a much more lightweight manner. Both can be found at http://contextus.net/ Additionally there are a number of ontologies aimed at describing fairytale narratives and similar which draw from various parts of narrative theory. The Fairytale Markup Language and the extended version thereof are fairly popular. I would draw people attention for the workshop on computational narratology that is running before DH2016, and there previous events for more examples.

As featured on its public website, http://digitalmitford.org, the Digital Mitford project has two major purposes: 1. to produce the first comprehensive scholarly edition of the works and letters of Mary Russell Mitford, and 2. to share knowledge of TEI XML and related humanities computing practices with all serious scholars interested in contributing to the project. Our editing team meets face-to-face to brush up on project methods and make major decisions, and we invite participants and prospective new editors to learn our methods and think with us about project management challenges during the Coding School. Please join us if you want to learn text encoding methods and their applications in the Digital Humanities through hands-on participation in a large-scale digital archive project. We will orient you to coding by giving you hands-on experience with literary and historical documents, from the careful encoding of markings on manuscript material to autotagging enormous and complicated texts with regular expression matching. And we invite you to think with us about how best to build a site interface and visualizations to help explore the data we are gathering on nineteenth-century networks of people, places, and texts. Our workshops are held at the lovely Pitt-Greensburg http://greensburg.pitt.edu campus, recently named one of the five most scenic college campuses near Pittsburgh . This year’s Coding School is part of a series of Digital Humanities events in the Pittsburgh area, as we are coordinating it to follow immediately after the Keystone DH Conference http://keystonedh.network/2016/ (from June 22-24) in Pittsburgh. Our editors will convene in the days preceding the conference, and the Coding School begins immediately afterwards. We expect people to arrive on Friday afternoon or evening June 24 and depart on Tuesday morning June 28, with our Coding School in session from Saturday morning June 25 through Monday afternoon June 27. Who participates? 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. What we teach and share: - Discussion of best practices for preparing digital scholarlyeditions as digital databases - Textual scholarship and paleography (working primarily with 19th-century manuscript correspondence) - Participation in an active “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 http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml encoding and best practices for project sustainability and longevity - Autotagging and regular expression matching to prepare digital texts - Hands-on experience with XPath, code schemas, XSLT, and an XML database - Perspective on project management and interface development as we work on developing our site interface - Individual and Group Instruction, working with our Explanatory Guides and Resources http://newtfire.org/dh , organized and led by an elected member of the TEI Technical Council http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/ . How to register: Send me an e-mail (at ebb8 at pitt.edu http://pitt.edu ) by Friday April 8, 2016, indicating your interest in the Digital Mitford Coding School. A registration fee is required of all who are not actively affiliated as editors with the project: 1. Students, Adjunct Instructors, or Independent Scholars: $180 2. Full-Time Faculty Members and Librarians: $300 All registration fees are to be paid by check to the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, and are due by mail by May 16, 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.) Budgeting for the June 2016 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, the Latrobe regional 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. Thanks, everyone, for reading and sharing with interested parties! We look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces at beautiful Pitt-Greensburg in June. Please feel free to write me with any questions in advance of our application due date of Friday, April 8.

Job ads have begun to ask for digital humanities experience. Job seekers who have digital skills face an expanded employment landscape, including not only to academic teaching positions, but also post-docs on funded research projects, work at NGOs, and jobs at private technology firms. Graduate students and graduate programs must decide what sort of digital training is necessary for a career. Tenure and promotion evaluators face the challenge of accounting for digital scholarship. Abstracts are invited for presentations addressing how digital methods are changing the shape of the profession in these and other ways, and how students and faculty can respond. Anonymous abstracts of no more than 400 words should be sent to digitalclassicsassociation@gmail.com, with identifying information in the email. Abstracts will be refereed anonymously in accordance with SCS regulations. Submitters should confirm in their emails that they are SCS members in good standing. Abstracts should follow the formatting guidelines of the instructions for individual abstracts on the SCS website. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is **March 9, 2016**. Note: All past DCA sessions have been joint colloquia of the Society for Classical Studies and the Archaeological Institute of America. This panel has been approved by SCS, with the application for a joint AIA colloquium pending. AIA members are encouraged to submit, though there is no guarantee at this point that the panel will be approved by AIA.

Since computing in the humanities was renamed to what it is nowadays called ‘digital humanities’ (DH), the field has shifted significantly in its scope and has gained importance as an academic discipline. The DH is envisaged to encompass a range of interests and tasks such as “refurbishing the humanities for an electronic age” (McCarty 2005), manipulating texts (Bradley 2004), gathering big data for macroanalysis (Jockers 2013), distant reading (Moretti 2013), building rather than writing for algorithmic criticism (Ramsay 2011), speculative computing and visual forms (Drucker 2008), to name a few. The digital has undoubtedly cut across the humanities disciplines, but how wide is its reach? Is the DH inclusive enough as “a trading zone and a meeting place”, as defined by Svensson (2012)? What do the other disciplines have to teach digital humanities? Are we capable of inventing any new functions of the digital within and for the traditional scope of the humanities? How responsive are the institutions to the new demands and ideas of researching the digital? What forms and areas of collaborative research have been missing? Do the collaborative projects overshadow a single scholar’s effort and will in any way? Are the digital tools going hand in hand with the needs of humanities research, theory and pedagogy? We would like to put these and many other historical, empirical and pedagogical aspects of the digital in the humanities on the agenda of the DDH Student Conference 2016 at King’s. We invite humanists, regardless of their technical background, to share their ideas and research on the past, present and future issues of the digital in and for the humanities. Keynote sessions include: - “Quality in Quantity? Stylometry on Ever Bigger Data” | Jan Rybicki, Assistant Professor of English Studies at the Jagiellonian University of Kraków, Poland - “Community Building in the Digital Humanities” | James Cummings, Senior Digital Research Specialist for the IT Services of the University of Oxford - “Open Access and Multi-media Monographs” | Rupert Gatti, co-founder and Director of Open Book Publishers and Director of Studies in Economics at Trinity College, Cambridge - “Researching Born-digital Data” | Jane Winters, Professor of Digital History and Head of Publications at the Institute of Historical Research The event will also feature a roundtable discussion chaired by Professor Willard McCarty, Professor of Humanities Computing in the Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London. The conference committee seeks proposals for: - Research paper presentations - submissions should include: a title, author list (including names, email addresses and institutional affiliations) and an abstract for the proposed presentation (no more than 250 words in length). Presentations on the day should last no more than 15 minutes and will be followed by five minutes of discussion time. - Poster or digital art presentations - submissions should include: a title, author list (including names, email addresses and institutional affiliations) and an abstract for the proposed poster or digital art exhibit (no more than 250 words in length). Please note: creativity is greatly encouraged in these presentations. Your work does not need to be in the form of a traditional poster and can include digital elements (for example animation or design) - please email us to propose your idea. Further information will be made available through the conference website (TBC), Twitter feed and Facebook page . Submissions should be made by midnight on 11 April 2016 by emailing kcldhconf@gmail.com. Please indicate in your email whether you wish to propose a presentation, poster or both. Decisions on acceptance of abstracts will be communicated to applicants no later than 18 April 2016.

Victoria Van Hyning (Oxford), 'Crowdsourcing early modern manuscript transcription, or, Can we really have an EEBO for manuscripts?' Tuesday 1 March ArtsTwo, 2.17 5.15-6.45pm "Early modernists working on English language material have experienced a seismic change in their research landscape with the ability to conduct full text search of printed works in Early English Books Online, Eighteenth Century Collections Online, Googlebooks and other resources. Hardly an essay, article or seminar paper goes by without reference to word frequency within the EEBO or ECCO corpus. But what of the endless acres of manuscript material that have never been edited and which are not machine-readable? At precisely the moment when basic quantitative methodologies in the humanities are becoming more normative—and when we could take further steps to introduce deeper quantitative approaches in our work—we are in danger of leaving the lion’s share of material out of the reach of quantitative analysis. This talk will provide an overview of ‘Shakespeare’s World’: a collaboration between the world-leading academic crowdsourcing group called Zooniverse.org, the Folger Shakespeare Library which heads up the Early Modern Manuscripts Online project, and the Oxford English Dictionary. ‘Shakespeare’s World’, which launched in December 2015, invites members of the public to transcribe manuscript material from the Folger collection. The site has been designed to enable people to transcribe as little as one word on a page, and does not force users to guess or misread for the sake of page completion. Multiple volunteers transcribe independently, and their transcriptions are then compared using an in-house algorithm that detects differences between transcriptions as well as outputting an aggregated reading as well as a list of variant readings. The project will have launched with two genres available for transcription: recipes and letters, totaling c. 8,5000 pages. The Zooniverse crowd of ~1.4 million people will likely see several thousand try the project, and a few hundred stay for the longer term. Victoria hopes to identify material suitable for her British Academy postdoctoral fellowship work, which concerns early modern English Catholic women’s life-writing. In addition to tracing the rationale and trajectory of this crowdsourcing project, the talk will present early finding as to the suitability of crowdsourced transcriptions for facilitating basic quantitative approaches to early modern manuscript studies." _______________________________________________ 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 91B6AD5C; Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:54:33 +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 D67A8D1B; Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:54:32 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0EB5BCEA; Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:54:29 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160229135430.0EB5BCEA@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 29 Feb 2016 14:54:29 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.753 hiatus 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: <20160229135433.14392.41873@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 753.

Dear Colleagues, I have been involved in some informal discussions regarding what a "Computing Across the Curriculum" requirement might look like. Ideally, it would somewhat resemble a Writing Across the Curriculum model, in which students learn quantitative or computational skills specific to their major. Does anyone work at an institution, or know of one, that employs a similar requirement? We are looking for any and all models--successful, complete failure, or anything in between.

Dear colleagues, I am pleased to announce a book about technology. The following is a summary of the topics: Qu’est-ce que la technologie? Suivi de Post-scriptum sur la technoscience Préface de Mario Bunge. Paris, Editions Matériologiques, 2016, 312 pp. http://materiologiques.com/sciences-philosophie-2275-9948/223-qu-est-ce-que-la-technologie--9782373610444.html Technologie, technique, technosciences, tous ces mots sont généralement confondus, rendus interchangeables dans nombre de propos où pourtant la clarté est requise. Ce livre éclaire et déjoue ces impasses terminologiques et conceptuelles. Dans un monde technologiquement saturé, comprendre ce qu’est la technologie est crucial, et ce livre donne les éléments d’une telle compréhension. Est-il vrai que la science et la technologie forment un tout ? Qu’elles sont unies par des liens constants et nécessaires ? Est-il vrai que le raisonnement technologique prend toujours place dans un contexte industriel ? Que les bio- et nanotechnologies forment la part essentielle des technologies contemporaines ? Que l’application définit adéquatement la relation entre la science et la technologie ? Dans ce livre, Dominique Raynaud examine les limites de chacune de ces idées. Il dresse un panorama complet des problèmes que pose la technologie au moyen d’une étude détaillée des aspects cognitifs, ergologiques, professionnels et juridiques de la relation entre la science et la technologie et met à nu la fiction utilitariste de la prétendue « technoscience ». Tout aussi éloigné de l’apologie que de la critique radicale, ce livre défend une perspective empirique et analytique dans l’étude de la technologie. Préface de Mario Bunge « Le livre que vous avez dans les mains est la première étude de toutes les facettes de la technologie, depuis la conception des artefacts technologiques jusqu’aux problèmes philosophiques et juridiques que soulèvent le savoir et le savoir-faire technologiques. […] Cependant, Raynaud n’hésite pas à qualifier de toxique pour la technologie elle-même la politique des utilitaristes qui font primer le “développement” sur la recherche fondamentale, car toutes les innovations technologiques sont issues de connaissances fondamentales. […] Comme le disait Guido Beck, mon professeur de physique, ils n’ont pas compris qu’il ne peut pas y avoir de lait de vache sans vache », Mario Bunge (extrait de la préface).

Shelley e.1, e.2, and e.3. Beyond the fair copy of what is arguably Shelley’s greatest poem, these notebooks contain fair copies of his lyric poems “Ode to Heaven http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/ode_to_heaven ” and “Misery.—A Fragment http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/misery/ ,” as well as his draft translation of Plato’s Ion http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/ion . As with our earlier release of the Frankenstein manuscripts, these manuscripts all appear as high quality page images accompanied by full transcriptions, and they are encoded in a schema based upon the Text Encoding Initiative’s guidelines for “Representation of Primary Resources,” enabling researchers, editors, and students to pursue a variety of scholarly investigations. Our encoding captures important aspects of the composition process, tracing the revisionary evolution of primary manuscripts and enabling users to see and search for additions, deletions, substitutions, retracings, insertions, transpositions, shifts in hand, displacements, paratextual notes, and other variables related to the composition process. Prometheus Unbound, itself, was first published in 1820 in a volume entitled Prometheus Unbound: A Lyrical Drama in Four Acts, With Other Poems. No poem caused PBS more pains to compose or occupied him for so long. The intermediate fair copy of Prometheus Unbound http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/prometheus_unbound/ located in e.1-e.3 served as PBS's safekeeping copy; and he recorded in it revisions made to the poem after the press transcript had already been sent to England from Italy. It is well known that Shelley was extremely dissatisfied with the published text of 1820, the only edition of Prometheus Unbound to appear during his lifetime, for which he was not allowed to read proof. But the "formidable list" of errata he prepared for that text has been lost or destroyed—as has been the press transcript itself, which best would have reflected his intentions for the printed text. The last surviving manuscript of Prometheus Unbound in PBS's hand, these notebooks are the necessary starting point for all those who desire to better their understanding of Shelley's greatest poetic achievement. For this release, the S-GA team refined the design of the site to improve users’ experience of navigating the rich contents of the Archive. Most notably, the contents of S-GA can all be accessed by Manuscript (with page images ordered by their sequence in the manuscript), or by Work (with page images ordered by their linear sequence in the work, e.g., Acts and scenes). The Frankenstein manuscript page images have been refactored so that they can be accessed in all of the complicated arrangements and rearrangements http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/frankenstein_chapters through which they have descended to us over time. Our next planned release for S-GA in late Spring 2016 will increase its contents by an order of magnitude, with several thousand as yet untranscribed page images. We continue to work behind the scenes on opening the Archive to participatory curation.

In-Reply-To: <20160301075326.102AEE66@digitalhumanities.org> At the University of Cologne there is, for 8 years now (from 2008 on) the "IT certificate of the faculty for the humanities". It consists of four concerted courses (3 credit points each) which fill exactly the "studium generale" (a 12 cp free choice section) part of all the regular study programs. The courses are open to all students at the faculty for the humanities (currently ca. 18.000), are funded directly by the faculty, are given twice each every term and are restricted to ca. 25 participants. In the first years the courses were very much focused on technologies for the humanities like information processing with x-technologies (XML, XPath, XSLT), metadata standards (DC, LIDO, TEI, CIDOC-CRM), semantic web, but also generic stuff like sql+php (as applied to humanities resources) or content management systems. Nowadays they are more generic. The four courses are now "advanced IT basics" (with some very basic stuff plus image processing and web servers), "advanced web basics" (with html, css, javascript, jQuery), "tools and methods in DH" (with web frameworks and more javascript) and "digital object processing - cms vs digital library" (with drupal, wordpress, typo3, DSpace, Fedora Commons). The program is extremly succesful with maybe 700 to 900 (I would have to ask for the exact number) different participants (and much more applicants!) in the last 8 years and some hundred certificate holders. I see, that there is an immense amount of experience with educating students from humanities subjects in that program. As working for a DH center and thus as a potential taker of grads from that program, I would however like to see the curriculum revised somehow so that it would better address the reality and the needs in digital humanities research.

In addition to a data science foundations course, there's a growing list of "connector" courses that focus on applications in a particular domain. So far the list includes ones related to literature (http://databears.berkeley.edu/content/ls-88-2-literature-and-data) and history (http://databears.berkeley.edu/content/hist-88-how-does-history-count). If you'd like, I can put you in touch with some of the people who are working on the program.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2016 09:26:58 +0100 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 29.748 analogical; ontological In-Reply-To: <20160228081731.2E3E4D15@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Catherine and Øyvind, Thank you both for your friendly questioning. In attempting to reply to you both, I'll start from your questions, Øyvind. First, by saying I think English is best regarded as a foreign language for everybody, so called "native speakers" especially. More specifically, yes, I do want to mean the same thing by represent in "A photograph can never represent reality." and representation in "You must never let your representations get between you and the world you seek to understand." though I'd like not to do this by defining the word representation. Dictionaries can do this because they only seek to define one word at a time. Here, as in most places with words, the other words are involved too. (I'm with Wittgenstein on this, and not just 'cos he trained as an Aeronautical Engineer too.) Things can stand in many different relationships to other things, trying now to turn to your questions, Catherine. So, a photograph, in relation to what the camera was pointed at when the photograph was taken, might be a artist's impression, characterisation, delineation, depiction, description, icon, illustration, image, likeness, portrait, portrayal, picture, reminder, rendering, sketch, depending on the role played by the photograph in the goings on that surround it and with which it engages. (And I do intend a light degree of agency here, for the photograph: representation does need a degree of agent-hood to work.) What a photograph cannot do, I asserted above, is stand in place of some part of reality such that, at least some, significant reasoning or actioning on this some part of reality would be indistinguishable from the same reasoning or acting done using the photograph instead. A representation then, is something that can sufficiently well take the place of that which it represents, in some significant treatment of what is represented. This is a strong condition that is not easily fulfilled. It's a condition that must be sufficiently verified, validated, and tested before our representation can be well used as a representation. Representationhood does not come for free, and it is usually more expensive than any of the other things a photograph might be from the list above--which is not to say that these other things a photograph might be aren't useful: they can be very useful, and exactly what's needed. My point is that we can't just take something to be a representation, nor just declare something to be a representation at our convenience. It must be (sufficiently) shown to be an (adequate) representation. This is, at least, an empirical matter. If we use formal (mathematical) or logic-based representations, then other formal conditions need to be satisfied too. This statement of what a representation is--I don't want to call it a definition--may appear categorical, but the boundary between being a representation and not being one is neither fixed nor firm. Indeed, it's rather boggy. This means that to be safely representational, a representation must be shown to be well within this category boundary. Being boggy around the edges does not mean anything can, more or less, be happily called a representation, as often seems to happen. Calling something a representation because it looks like one, or we would like it to be one, leads to unreliable and unsafe reasoning and acting, as well as endless arguments as we stomp around in the bog. You'll have noticed that I started my original reply to Willard with a kind of warning ... that I was going to use a form (of argument) that "seems to contradict what we usually think we believe." This is because, to have some force, the argument needs statements that are clear and decisive, such as "photographs cannot be representations of reality." This is a rhetorical device. I used it here in a concise attempt to warn against easy but worthless and negligent use of the notion of representation. Of course, things are not so simple as my assertions might suggest. To illustrate this we may ask when can a photograph be a good representation? One answer is when it's a representation of another photograph: when it's a (sufficiently) good photographic copy of another (not necessarily original) photograph. But, isn't this other (first) photograph a part of our reality? If it is, then our new photograph is a representation of (some part of our) reality. Which contradicts what I asserted at the outset. This is how is it: complicated. Good representations are slippery things that are hard to work with well. Look-as-if representations are easier to come by, a doddle to use, but do us no good. This is why I said "You must never let your representations get between you and the world you seek to understand." End of sermon. If this helps, I'll be happy. If you've stayed to the end, I'll be grateful. If you're still confused, I think I'll need to ask others here to help out. I'm not sure I can bring a lot of clarity to a matter I've long been engaged with and argued about, mostly in different corners of Artificial Intelligence and Design, but also when building computational models.

I'll paste the description below, and you can find more information here: http://rarebookschool.org/courses/manuscripts/m95/ The course will be at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (not in Charlottesville), 10-15 July. We'll start accepting applicants soon, so if you want to attend this summer I encourage you to apply now! Application information is here: Feel free to email me with any questions. Thanks! Dot Porter Course Description: This course is designed to introduce students of both the digital humanities and manuscript studies to the concepts and realities of working with medieval manuscripts in the twenty-first century. Through the course, students and faculty will examine materials from the collections of the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts, as well as digitized versions of those materials and others. Students in the course will consider four issues relating to using medieval manuscripts in a digital world. The first issue is theoretical, considering the relationship between medieval manuscripts and their digital counterparts, and questioning the notion of digital surrogacy. What does “digital surrogacy” mean and how might it affect our consideration of the physical objects represented through the surrogate? The second issue is the practical one of imbuing best practices when creating digital assets out of medieval manuscripts. If we are to digitize manuscripts, how can we ensure that those digital versions are the best they can be? And again: what does that mean? The third issue concerns the present landscape for digital medieval manuscripts (and medieval studies more generally), including current publication technologies and the place of Open Data. The fourth issue is that of building resources with and for digitized medieval manuscripts. What tools are available to enable us to create something new? As a final project, students and faculty in the course will work together to build something new—either “hacking” an application to display and sort medieval manuscript data, or creating an exhibition using an existing platform (such as Omeka). The specific direction of the final project will depend upon the skill sets available in the room. Students should plan to bring a laptop with them to class. In their personal statement, applicants should indicate their background, special interests, and expectations from the course. They should clearly state their experience working with manuscripts or manuscript-related courses they have taken, as well as any experience using digital technologies. Although it is expected that some students will have some technological experience, it is not a requirement for the course. -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* 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, 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 E68BF3009; Tue, 8 Mar 2016 13:11:22 +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 3A7672F62; Tue, 8 Mar 2016 13:11:22 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6BF112F62; Tue, 8 Mar 2016 13:11:19 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160308121119.6BF112F62@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2016 13:11:19 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.761 jobs: asst prof at Utrecht; developer at TAMU; RA at Victoria 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: <20160308121122.26580.98223@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 761.

This symposium follows the first http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/hapop12 and second http://www.computing-conference.ugent.be/hapop2 editions which were organized in 2012 and 2014 respectively. It is supported by the DHST/DLMPS Commission on the History and Philosophy of Computing and the CNAM http://www.cnam.fr/ . One major challenge throughout the history of programming is the development of an interface between humans, software and hardware. It has been the task of the so-called operating system to: maintain a file system; regulate access to resources; synchronize operations; etc. Today, Operating Systems are usually equipped with Graphical User interfaces (GUI) designed to give the "user" a "friendly" experience thus hiding – and sometimes even rendering inaccessible – much of the underlying structure and features of the computing machinery. In which way is this changing our relation to machines and what the unintended epistemic consequences are, is still to be assessed. The aim of the current symposium is to offer an opportunity for historical and philosophical reflection on operating systems and the programs they coordinate. Our approach is interdisciplinarity and openness towards different fields relevant to HaPoC. We were and are strongly convinced that such trans- and interdisciplinarity is necessary if one wants to reflect on a discipline such as computer science with its multidimensional nature. The current symposium will be organized in a similar manner and invites researchers coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers, logicians and computer scientists who want to engage with topics relevant to the history and philosophy of programming and more specifically that of operating systems. Topics of the symposium include but are not restricted to historical and philosophical reflections on: • Origin, evolution and future of OSs • Design and Epistemology of User Interfaces • Principles of Data Access, Control and Sharing, especially in relation to OSs (e.g. the Bell-La Padula model) • Privacy and Security in OSs • Batch processing and time sharing systems • Models, problems and techniques of concurrency, parallelism and distributed systems • Open source vs corporate software • Programming paradigms and techniques (e.g. pair-programming) SUBMISSION DETAILS: We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the main topics of the symposium to submit an abstract of 500 words to: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapop3 Abstracts must be written in English. Please note that the format of uploaded files must be .pdf or .doc.

Place, Ecology and the Digital DRHA will gather in Brighton for the 20th anniversary of the network and conference. DRHA has become one of the foremost conferences in the world in facilitating dialogue between academics and practitioners from: • Digital Arts and Humanities, • Creative Industries, • Digital Libraries and Archives The University of Brighton is proud to be hosting DRHA2016 and invites you to contribute. DRHA2016 Theme: Place, Ecology and the Digital The ‘digital’ can imply a sense of everywhere and at the same time nowhere in particular. The combination with place and ecology invites reflection on what it is to be: situated; embedded in complex nested systems; to be in relationship to place and, further, how the digital may challenge or facilitate this. Place could refer to ideas of localism; to community and to geographical base, or equally it may refer to more abstract, distributed or virtual realms or networks. DRHA 2016 continues where the conference in 2015 left off in asking how we can engage with some of the ‘wicked problems’ and grand challenges of our time. There will be a number of high profile keynotes as well as a focus on interdisciplinary and intercultural ‘labs’. The conference will offer a platform to ‘labs’ that offer insights into approaches and methods for facilitating interdisciplinarity. Complex contemporary issues resist single-disciplinary enquiry and require hybrid or emergent methods. The conference will bring together lab curators and facilitators so that the network can collaboratively reflect upon, evaluate and refine methods for resolving grand challenges. CALL FOR PAPERS DRHA2016: Place, Ecology and the Digital. This announcement is to alert you to the forthcoming event and to invite you to consider developing a proposal. DRHA is a peer-reviewed conference. The call for papers will be released later this month. COMMISSIONS DRHA comprises and academic conference and a curated programme. Along with the call for papers we will also be issuing a call for proposals for creative responses to the theme. The curatorial panel will be comprised of representatives of DRHA and cultural partners in the city of Brighton. There will be opportunities to create/install work thought the city in partnership with Brighton Digital Festival, Fabrica Gallery, ONCA Gallery and the University of Brighton Gallery. PARTNERS DRHA2016 has established partnerships with: Brighton Digital Festival (BDF) Fabrica Gallery ONCA Gallery Brighton Photo Biennial (Leonardo Education and Art Forum tbc.) THE CITY Brighton is one of the UK’s most exciting cities with a remarkable number of creative individuals and enterprises. The city was selected to be the focus of internationally significant research looking at creative clusters because of the concentration of creatives engaged with the digital economy: a growing and important part of the local economy comprising more than 15% of employment. College of Arts and Humanities is highly ranked for its world-leading research and impact. The city boasts a great social scene, a historic palace, the North Laine and the Lanes for great independent stores, cafes, bars and restaurants. It is a dynamic and creative city which hosts the largest arts festival in England each May with the Brighton Festival, its Fringe and associated festivals such as House/ Artist Open Houses (visual arts), The Great Escape (music) and B:Fest (young people) . Each autumn the city holds an internationally renowned film festival, Cine City and every two years, the Brighton Photo Biennial; all hosted by the College of Arts. It is also a place of beautiful natural landscapes, with a vibrant seafront along one edge and surrounded on the others by the South Downs National Park. This unique mix of coastal, downs and urban areas has been designated a UNESCO Biosphere. Brighton is 45 minutes by train from London and 20 minutes from Gatwick airport. You are invited to consider submitting a paper, lab or to propose a contribution to the co-curated digital festival.

Keynote: Lori Emerson (University of Colorado at Boulder) The conference provides an occasion to take stock of digital approaches to writing and culture in Canada, whether they focus on Canadian artifacts or digitally investigate literary and cultural matters from within the Canadian academic context. How have the particulars of Canadian culture, infrastructure, and academic structures impacted digital literary and cultural studies? What kinds of local, regional, organizational, institutional, or national factors have inflected the relationship between culture and technology in Canada? Are our diverse identities, histories, politics, and infrastructures reflected in how we read, write, and research digitally? What have digital approaches contributed to our understanding of Canadian literature, culture, and identity categories? CWRC is an online environment for scholarly research, bringing together Canadian and international researchers who work with online technologies to investigate writing and related cultural practices relevant to the Canadian context. CWRC supports the creating, uploading, sharing, enhancing and curating of research materials by interlinking the contents of individual projects and by supporting team-based collaboration. It brings together bibliographical, biographical, critical, and prosopographical work, scholarly transcription and editing, and multi-media collections, supporting scholars interested in exploring the potential of digital knowledge production to advance their research agendas. For those interested in trying out the CWRC research space, free workshops will be offered on Tuesday September 20th and Thursday September 22nd. We are interested in papers that take up digital literary or cultural research, broadly conceived, in Canada, including, for instance, * digital humanities research in and on Canadian literature and culture: histories, trends, practices, possibilities, resources * reading and writing (about) Canadian literature in the digital age * Indigeneity and digital culture * Canadian e-literature * digital collaboration: working collectively in the academic context * online research and the academy: support, structures, protocols * producing and reading digital texts * technologies of image, text, and sound preservation and presentation * intellectual property * gender and marginalized identities in a digital context * invisible research and development: digital researcher as academic avatar * reading and writing digital games * interfaces: design, politics, subjectivities * digital readership: identifying constituencies for research * close and distant readings of digital texts * digital self-publishing * the borders and the shape of the digital nation * area studies and digital scholarship in Canadian contexts: who is digital and why? * crossing disciplinary, institutional, and community divides; public facing digital humanities * the contexts, challenges and discontents of collaboration * new technologies and old scholarship: bibliography in the digital context * the impact of digital humanities resources in and on Canada on literary and cultural study; anthologies and datasets * Canadian innovations in text analysis and text mining Please send 250-word proposals in English or French for 20-minute papers along with a 150-word biographical statement by email to cwrc.conference@gmail.com by March 20, 2016. TEXTUALITÉS NUMÉRIQUES/CONTEXTES CANADIENS Ce colloque consacré au lancement du Collaboratoire scientifique des écrits du Canada (CSÉC) invite des propositions portant sur le croisement du texte et du numérique dans le contexte canadien. Le colloque se tiendra les 20 et 22 septembre à l’Université de l’Alberta. Conférencière d’honneur : Lori Emerson (Université du Colorado à Boulder) Le colloque permettra de réfléchir aux approches numériques dans le champ de l’écriture et de la culture canadienne, qu’elles traitent des artefacts canadiens, ou qu’elles explorent des questions littéraires et culturelles dans le contexte universitaire canadien. Comment les particularités de la culture, de l’infrastructure et des institutions académiques canadiennes ont-elles déteint sur les études culturelles et littéraires numériques ? Quels facteurs locaux, régionaux, organisationnels, institutionnels ou nationaux ont modulé les rapports entre la culture et la technologie au Canada ? Les identités, histoires, politiques et infrastructures diverses se reflètent-elles sur nos habitudes de lecture, d’écriture et de recherche numérique ? Quelle est la contribution des approches numériques à notre connaissance de la littérature, de la culture et des identités canadiennes ? Le CSÉC est une infrastructure de recherche scientifique en ligne qui a pour objectif de rassembler des chercheurs canadiens et internationaux qui s’intéressent aux technologies en ligne qui leur permettent d’examiner l’écriture et d’autres pratiques culturelles connexes dans le contexte canadien. Le CSÉC soutient la création, le téléchargement, le partage, l’amélioration et la conservation des matériaux de recherche en établissant des liens entre des projets individuels et en soutenant la collaboration en équipe. Le CSÉC rassemble des œuvres bibliographiques, biographiques, critiques et prosopographiques, des transcriptions et éditions scientifiques ainsi que des collections multimédia et offre un soutien aux chercheurs qui s’intéressent à la puissance de la production des connaissances numériques afin d’avancer leurs programmes de recherche.

Please distribute widely Typically, editorial projects - digital or non-digital - get funding for a limited time span, and that time span is usually not sufficient to edit and publish the source or body of sources that the project set out to publish. Often, more funding will be sought, but, as technology and time have moved on, and as one can't reasonably just repeat the first grant application, the focus of a follow-up project will be slightly different. In a third step, one may ask for a neighbouring source collection to be included in the project, or a new tool added to the collection, dependent on what funders at that moment in time seem willing to support. Projects may end up with multiple collections and datasets, digitized according to multiple standards using multiple (sometimes obsolete) technologies. Some may have started out on paper, and have ridden the waves of databases, HTML, CD-ROM, XML, mass digitisation approaches and Linked open data. Even projects that have consistently worked within a TEI  framework may have had to ingest documents that use different TEI dialects. These technological complexities may be increased by constraints in overall planning and everyday workflow, including time and budget management, especially if there are cross-institutional collaborations, interdependencies on deliverables, strict deadlines, staff mobility etc. Huygens ING is organising a workshop to discuss these and other complexities of project logistics. We are asking for papers that address for example the following issues, preferably from first-hand experience: - integration of multiple collections digitised or edited according  to different standards - integration of the output of projects from multiple organisations - project planning and budget management issues in relation to technological changes - archiving and preservation logistics after the funding period in relation to technological changes - how to prepare for the inevitability of changes in media, encoding, work environment or publishing platforms? - how to avoid having to re-visit the same material? - how to integrate the output of mass digitisation projects into scholarly editions? The workshop will take place on Tuesday, October 4, 2016, the day before the main conference. The format of the workshop will consist of four or five papers (20-minutes) and ample room for discussion. Please send abstracts of ca. 350 words to peter.boot@huygens.knaw.nl, before May 15, 23:59 GMT. Notification of acceptance will follow before June 1. Travel bursaries to Antwerp may be available. Please indicate whether you need a bursary when sending in your abstract. All questions about the workshop can be directed to Peter Boot, peter.boot@huygens.knaw.nl. The workshop is organized as part of the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT), financed under the EU Marie Curie Actions. --[6]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 16:56:21 +0000 From: Van Hulle Dirk Subject: Conference 'Digital Scholarly Editing', Antwerp, 5-7 Oct 2016 Dear list, This is just a reminder that the Call for Papers of the conference on ‘Digital Scholarly Editing: Theory, Practice, Methods’ is entering its final two weeks (deadline: 20 March). You are all cordially invited to submit an abstract. The conference will be held at the University of Antwerp on 5-7 October 2016, and combines the thirteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS 2016) and the third convention of the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network (DiXiT 3). The conference will focus on the impact of the digital medium on the field of Textual Criticism and Scholarly Editing. With kind regards, Dirk Van Hulle on behalf of the OC —————————————— Call for papers: Conference "Digital Scholarly Editing: Theory, Practice, Methods" Conference organized by the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) and the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network (DiXiT). Hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics at the University of Antwerp, Belgium. Venue: University of Antwerp 5-7 October 2016 Keynote speakers: Paul Eggert and Kathryn Sutherland Guests of honour: Hans Walter Gabler and Peter Shillingsburg Call for Papers Deadline: 20 March 2016 As digital editions are reaching a stage of maturity and scholarly editors are becoming increasingly aware of the seemingly endless possibilities of hybrid or fully Digital Scholarly Editions, the impact of the digital medium on the field of Textual Criticism has become undeniable. As a result of this ‘digital turn’, textual scholars are now faced with new challenges and opportunities that have called for a re-evaluation of the field’s established theoretical and practical framework. For the thirteenth annual conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS), organized in association with the Digital Scholarly Editing Initial Training Network ‘DiXiT’, we intend to face this new direction in textual scholarship head-on, by focussing on the recent developments in textual scholarship that are instigated by this reassessment of the theories, practices, and methods of scholarly editing in general, and of the Digital Scholarly Edition (DSE) in particular. We therefore invite abstracts for 20-minute presentations that could focus on (but should not be limited to) the following topics: Theories - The impact of the digital medium on textual scholarship - The importance of the document in scholarly editing - Facsimiles versus documents - Documents versus texts - The task of the editor of a DSE - Modelling the DSE Methods - Digitization of documents - The limits of TEI XML and alternative encoding models - Editorial interpretation in text encoding - Visualizing the encoded text - Corpus analysis - New tools for the Scholarly Edition Practices - Encoding difficulties - Interoperability - Usability studies - Copyright restrictions and their impact on the DSE - Dissemination - Standards and evaluation Abstracts of up to 300 words can be emailed to Dirk Van Hulle (dirk.vanhulle@uantwerpen.be) and Wout Dillen (wout.dillen@uantwerpen.be) before 20 March 2016. This thirteenth conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship is organized in association with the Marie Curie Initial Training Network on Digital Scholarly Editing ‘DiXiT’, and will be hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics (CMG) at the University of Antwerp. In the days leading up to the conference, the CMG will host two DiXiT workshops on digital scholarly editing. --[7]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 21:15:42 -0500 From: "Mylonas, Elli" Subject: Quantitative Text Analysis Brown University April 8-9 *Workshop on Quantitative Text Analysis for the Humanities and Social Sciences * with special attention to analysis of Czech/Slavic texts - *When*: April 8 (all day) and April 9 (half day) 2016 - *Where*: Digital Scholarship Lab (Rockefeller Library 137, 10 Prospect Street, Brown University) (on Prospect St between College St, and George St) - *For Whom: *students and scholars interested in digital humanities and empirical quantitative approaches to text in English and Czech/Slavic languages.

During the morning, we will showcase four Computational Humanities projects – The Riddle of Literary Quality; Elite Network Shifts During Regime Change in Indonesia; Tunes and Tales, Modeling Oral Transmission; and CEDAR, Dutch Census Data in a Web of Cultural and Historic Information. These projects form the core of the KNAW’s Computational Humanities programme, 2011-16, which brought together computer and information scientists from the universities with scholars in the humanities and social sciences institutes of the KNAW to develop new tools and methods for gathering, storing, searching, processing, analyzing and representing data and sources. The morning will be opened by Sally Wyatt, Programme Leader of the eHumanities group, and Theo Mulder, Director of the KNAW Research Institutes. Each of the projects will then present key results and demonstrate the data and tools they have developed. The focus will be on the legacy of the projects for the wider community, not only researchers but also other possible users. This is not the end of the involvement of the KNAW in digital humanities and social sciences. In the afternoon, we will launch CHAT-NL (Netherlands Centre for Humanities and Technology), a national platform to promote future research in this flourishing field, bringing together many universities, KNAW institutes and others. José van Dijck, President of the KNAW, will open the afternoon proceedings, and will formally launch CHAT-NL. Two prominent DH scholars will provide keynote lectures – Ray Siemens, Canada Research Chair in Computational Humanities at the University of Victoria, and Franciska de Jong Professor of e-Research for the Humanities at Utrecht University. The afternoon will also include demonstrations by local start-ups and others involved in making DH more widely available. Register now for what promises to be an exciting day of discussion, debate and demonstration about what the digital means for the future of humanities and social science research.

Inequality is on the rise alongside rampant technological advancement. Radical proposals for political transformation vie for media attention alongside military adventurism and terrorist violence. The language of crisis permeates the public domain. It may be that such similarities between past and present are more apparent than real. Nevertheless, our language for discussing political action and conflict appears to be thoroughly conditioned by an inherited set of terms and concepts that emerged during the early modern period, coalesced around the time of the French Revolution, and ultimately took root over the long nineteenth century. Such language is not simply descriptive, but thoroughly normative, as debates over the legitimacy of political acts invariably take the form of arguments over the applicability of certain terms. What’s the difference between a refugee and a migrant? How can we be sure that what we’re witnessing is a revolution and not an insurgency? Or rather, a civil war? If ‘socialism’ is no longer a term of abuse in Western politics, what is the significance of its renewed appeal? The aim of this conference is to critically interrogate the ways in which inherited vocabularies shape political life – both in the past and the present. As appeals to the authority of the past are increasingly deployed to legitimize or delegitimize political conflict, we are interested in exploring the historicity of these sorts of political representations in a dual sense: as particular manifestations of politics in action, but also as a function of the way artists, writers, and historians figure such conflicts. The positions of ‘left’ and ‘right’ are often taken for granted, for instance, but they have a history. So too do the figures of revolution, human rights, and democracy, not to mention the most basic lexicons of race, gender, and class. As we struggle to make sense of such terms and to use them effectively, their past usage is our primary resource. We welcome paper proposals from students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences, including intellectual historians, literary scholars, political theorists, and others keen to debate the historical character of political discourse and the political character of historical representation – past, present, and future. Please send an abstract of 300 words and short CV to Knox Peden ( knox.peden@anu.edu.au ) and Glenn Roe ( glenn.roe@anu.edu.au ) by 1 April 2015.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 08:30:22 +0000 From: "Kustodie, Hiwi1" Subject: Announcement: Summer School 'Academic Collecting and the Knowledge of Objects, 1700-1900', Göttingen 2016 Göttingen Spirit Summer School: Academic Collecting and the Knowledge of Objects, 1700-1900 Lichtenberg-Kolleg, Historic Observatory, University of Göttingen, Germany, 05th-10th September 2016 Convenors: Dr. Marie Luisa Allemeyer (Zentrale Kustodie, University of Göttingen) Dr. Dominik Hünniger (Lichtenberg-Kolleg, University of Göttingen) Christian Vogel (Zentrale Kustodie, University of Göttingen) Experts/Speakers: Dr. Anne Mariss, University of Tuebingen Professor Maria Rentetzi, National Technical University of Athens, Lise Meitner fellow, University of Vienna Dr. Kim Sloan, British Museum London Dr. Emma Spary, University of Cambridge Topic and Purpose Early modern cabinets of curiosities/Wunderkammern can be considered as an important space especially for those developing sciences that wanted to transcend text based scholasticism and base their knowledge solely on experience. Scholarly engagement with collections laid the foundations for knowledge production that was based on experiment and research with and on objects. Since this development took shape during the 17th century, collecting, storing, ordering, and the presentation of objects has become a strong concern for many academic disciplines. Accordingly, technologies that transformed things into objects of knowledge and rendered them accessible and sustainable are equally practical as well as epistemological techniques. Current research in the history of science and knowledge focusses increasingly on practices of collecting, ordering and presenting. Thus highlighting how scientific research and its results are intertwined with and rely upon different cultures of materiality and the handling of objects is the main concern of the summer school. In addition to questions concerning the role of objects and collections in the processes of knowledge production, we would also like to address the state and development of object based research in the humanities. How can humanities research be enhanced by engaging with objects? Which methods and theories can be successfully employed in order to achieve meaningful knowledge about these processes on a medium and larger scale? Each day of the summer school will be dedicated to a specific topic where four PhD candidates will present their research and give an introduction to their projects, with one expert commenting and leading the discussion for each project. As we acknowledge the epistemic value of engaging with objects, visits to the relevant academic collections at the University of Göttingen are an integral part of the program. Two of our experts, Kim Sloan and Emma Spary, will also give keynote lectures on Monday and Wednesday respectively. On Thursday evening, Anne Mariss will introduce her recent book“A world of new things”. Praktiken der Naturgeschichte bei Johann Reinhold Forster (Johann Reinhold Forster and the practices of natural history), thereby reflecting on her process of writing a thesis on praxeological aspects of knowledge production and engaging with material culture. The four thematic sections are: >From encyclopaedic to specialised collecting: Practices of collecting and exhibiting, the role of collectors and things // Expert: Kim Sloan, British Museum During the two centuries between 1700 and 1900, a far-reaching transformation took place that influenced both the scientific practices related to objects and the role of collectors. Burgeoning university collections differed considerably from most private or courtly cabinets of curiosities regarding their claims to establish order, classification and systematic comparison: the typical and the ordinary gradually replaced the rare and the unique, and the learned collector became the collecting scholar. The 18th century can be seen as a period of transition and the nineteenth 19th century was a threshold in the process of the differentiation of academic disciplines. This also influenced the collections, which were separated as well and thereby shed new light on the objects and thus eventually led to new ways of knowledge production. Accordingly, we especially invite presentations that address continuities and discontinuities in practices of collecting and the role of the collectors, as well as the actual order, presentation and spatial distribution of objects in the collections. Additionally, presentations that engage with wider epistemological, cultural, social and political contexts are equally welcome. „Putting nature in a box.“ The material order of things: shelves, cabinets, boxes and other furniture of order // Expert: Maria Rentetzi, NTU Athens, University of Vienna Furniture that helps to order and to store collections is an important part of the social world of collecting and is embedded in the epistemic practices surrounding collections as well. Material appliances influence the rules of the handling of objects and permit as well as prohibit certain practices. Thus, they are not neutral vessels but material conditions of possibilities regarding what and what cannot be known at a particular time and space. Which role do these vessels play concerning the development of object centred sciences in the18th and 19th century, especially concerning the production of knowledge and its contents? How did cabinets and other storage systems help natural historians to organise knowledge, and how did they help to create knowledge about the natural world? How did boxes become multifunctional tools in transferring the collected material into systematics? Could this furniture be regarded as a kind of laboratory that decontextualized and re-contextualised objects in changing spatial-systematic vicinities? Networks, Actors and Objects // Expert: Emma Spary, Cambridge University Current research in the history of science and knowledge no longer focuses solely on individual collectors and well-known collections, but also on complex and far-reaching networks of collecting that mobilised and thereby often transformed objects, actors and inscriptions. This approach lead to the decentralisation of the persona of the collector and collections were conceptualised in the Latourian framework as "centres of calculation". Special emphasis was laid on the analysis of the diverse spaces within which objects of knowledge were constituted and circulated. This panel wants to address the complicated movements of objects, materials, specimen and living creatures (both humans and other animals) within these wide and heterogeneous networks. Studies that address their itineraries between various spaces of encounter, e.g. academic collections, the marketplace, the scholars' houses, lecture halls, hospitals, etc. are especially welcome. Additionally, we are interested in the multitude and diversity of the actors in these spaces. Extending the research beyond the scholar as the classical focus in the history of science, we want to know about artisans, merchants and, very importantly, the members of the source communities from where the objects originated. It will be interesting to see if these diversities also produced different kinds of knowledge. Besides well-studied analytical and systematic forms of knowledge, other kinds, especially corporeal, implicit and tacit knowledge as well as technological, practical and artisanal competence – that all of these actors applied in one way or another – will be the focus of this panel. Calculation, Ordering and Classification are only three possible practices that would highlight these processes, and we are equally looking forward to presentations addressing further practices. The long road to the image: strategies of visualisation in collections // Expert: N.N. Images are also part of the transformation processes surrounding objects but they exemplify a special form of inscription in their claim to be mimetic. Current history of science and interdisciplinary visual culture studies have shown that the road from object to image is not as straightforward and simple as previously acknowledged. In order to understand the visual representation of collections, objects, and collectors, the manifold processes that lead from object/subject to image have to be analysed thoroughly. Traditions and conventions of image making have to be studied in order to show how social, epistemic and affective contexts of image production and presentation have influenced these processes. Applications and Selection Procedure The summer school will be held in English and welcomes PhD candidates or advanced postgraduates to apply. Up to 16 applicants will be admitted. Interested applicants are asked to send a cover letter, a CV and a research exposé (1500-2000 words/approx. 3-5 pages) preferably via e-mail as one pdf-file to summerschool@kustodie.uni-goettingen.de by 1st of May 2016. The cover letter should address to which of the four sections the project would correspond to. Ideally, it should already mention a special interest in one or more academic collections from Göttingen (http://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/die-sammlungen-im-detail/521326.html), as well as contain a short explanation why the certain collection(s) would be interesting for the PhD or postgraduate project. The selection will be conducted by the convenors, the experts and the academic advisory board of the Zentrale Kustodie. Successful candidates will be informed early in June, and will then be asked to send in a more developed research exposé (up to 8000 words/approx. 15-20 pages) within 6 weeks of the invitation. These texts will be circulated among all participants of the summer school and will be the basis for the experts‘ commentaries and the discussions during the summer school. We ask all applicants to address not only the research content of their projects but also to include references to concepts and methodologies and an explication of their research agenda and the sources employed. A discussion on how objects and collections feature in the research project is very much appreciated. Thanks to the generous support of the „Goettingen Spirit Summer School“-program at the University of Göttingen, we are able to provide board and lodging for all participants. The participation fee is 50 €.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 9 Mar 2016 13:05:10 -0600 From: Laura Mandell Subject: EEBO available in TypeWright *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1457550721_2016-03-09_humanist-owner@lists.digitalhumanities.org_21134.2.png EEBO in TypeWright We are pleased to announce that the Mellon-funded Early Modern OCR Project – eMOP – has completed running Optical Character Recognition Software on the 138,538 documents in ProQuest’s Early English Books Online (EEBO), and we are now making almost all of them available in 18thConnect.org for correcting the OCR. Some document images were too poor to run through the software, but we have loaded the resulting “dirty OCR” for 113,909 documents into the TypeWright tool at 18thConnect.org for crowd-sourced correction (http://www.18thconnect.org/typewright/documents). We were able to get an excellent contract with both ProQuest and Gale for all the documents that are loaded into TypeWright, all of EEBO and Eighteenth-Century Collections Online (ECCO): any scholar or student who corrects a document gets to keep it to do whatever they wish with it, ideally create an online digital edition such one you can see here, created by an undergraduate student of Stephen Gregg’s: http://ahymntothepillory.blogspot.co.uk/ http://ahymntothepillory.blogspot.co.uk/ . Once corrected, 18thConnect will send you the document in both plain-text and TEI-encoded formats. Additionally, the full-text will then be full-text searchable in both ProQuest and Gale’s EEBO and ECCO, and in 18thConnect.org. When you search the latter, 18thConnect gives search returns in the form of links to the texts in EEBO or ECCO, but, for those who use 18thConnect without subscriptions to those databases, we also provide information about holding libraries. Moreover, for those who DO subscribe to these catalogues, our research capacities will have been increased by working on the data we care about. Please note that these catalogs are being sold to libraries just as they are – in correcting the data, we are NOT increasing the profits of these companies, only our own research capacities (please see Mandell and Grumbach, “The Business of Digital Humanities: Capitalism and Enlightenment,” Scholarly and Research Communication 6.4 [2015]: http://src-online.ca/index.php/src/issue/current). A word about search: although all of Gale’s ECCO is searchable by word, OCR errors diminish the number of results one gets. A forthcoming article by Mandell demonstrates that the error rate in searching for bigrams (two-word phrases) is 50 to 60%--that is, one is missing over half the results one might otherwise get. In the case of EEBO, only those texts that have been typed by the Text Creation Partnership are searched by word when you are searching EEBO, as you can see on the EEBO search page, in the drop-down box describing what is searchable: [image: Inline image 1] We sincerely hope that professors and students can work together to make sure that these unstranscribed and poorly transcribed documents (the 85,200 documents so far not available to search as full text) do not become part of a “dark archive,” but can be fully searchable by future generations of scholars, both inside and outside the academy. You can access the EEBO documents at http://www.18thConnect.org, using the TypeWright tab, “Advanced Search,” or the Search Tab and selecting “TypeWright Enabled Documents”; in both cases, also select “EEBO” under “Other Collections.” In addition to the instructions for using TypeWright available on the site itself once you begin editing a document, we an introductory video available: http://www.18thconnect.org/about/typewright/#video.

I'm sure Laura didn't mean it to sound that way, and indeed I didn't read it so. Rather, by referring to the need to improve the OCR of the bits of EEBO that TCP hasn't manually keyboarded, I understood Laura to be paying TCP an implicit compliment. Of only, she suggests, the rest of the texts in EEBO were as wonderfully accurate as the TCP'd ones. I'm sure that everyone here, Laura included, thinks that TCP represents the best of what this community has achieved in relation to the digitization of pre-18th-century books. Those of us who benefit from what you did, Aaron, are deeply grateful. I know that's true of the New Oxford Shakespeare editors whose new edition relies heavily on searches in EEBO-TCP.

When I said "these untranscribed and poorly transcribed" documents, I meant to be referring ONLY to the OCR that we have created, not at all to the TCP texts! The TCP texts will not be part of the dark archive, ONLY the texts that are not transcribed or for which the OCR is too bad to use. That's why we are asking people to correct the OCR'd documents. None of the TCP texts are in TypeWright for correction, ONLY the dirty OCR that we created. I am sincerely sorry for the confusion, and of course, we used the Text Creation Partnership texts as our Ground Truth. I am revising the announcement to make it more clear that I'm referring to the 85,000 OCR'd texts and nothing from the TCP.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2016 09:02:24 +0000 From: Adam Crymble Subject: Digital History Masterclass Dear Fellow Humanists, We will be hosting a free digital history masterclass at the Institute of Historical Research in London on 19 April 2016 (2-4:30pm). Places are extremely limited to ensure participants receive individual attention. Sign up: http://dhrcmasterclass2.eventbrite.co.uk Details: This 2.5-hour ‘masterclass’ offers a practical workshop in which participants will learn how to ‘geocode’ hundreds of place names in a historical dataset and build a customised map with the results. Geocoding refers to the process of linking tabular data with specific geographical locations, which allows you to map that data, and enables more advanced geographical analysis. Participants will be provided with historical data to geocode, extracted from the Alumni Oxonienses, containing the place of origin of thousands of Oxford university students in the early modern era. In the workshop these will be geocoded and mapped using publically available maps of English and Welsh historic counties. Two approaches are introduced: simple table joins between descriptive statistics, and full geocoding using customised gazetteers. It is expected that once you have completed this lesson, you will be able to generalise the skills to prepare your own historical data in the same manner. The masterclass will be led by Justin Colson, lecturer in Digital History at the University of Essex. He works on late medieval and early modern social and economic history with a focus upon trade, occupations and sociability. As well as using Geographical Information Systems extensively in his own research, he teaches regular training courses in GIS for Historians at the Institute of Historical Research. Optional Extra: Participants are encouraged to attend an optional seminar (5-7pm) at the IHR by Hannah Williams, who will describe her work on ‘Mapping Paris: Artists and their Neighbourhoods in the 18th century’ (http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/) All the best, Adam Crymble Lecturer of Digital History University of Hertfordshire _______________________________________________ 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 AB24163BD; Sat, 12 Mar 2016 09:05:09 +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 1921162F6; Sat, 12 Mar 2016 09:05:09 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E56A262BC; Sat, 12 Mar 2016 09:05:06 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160312080506.E56A262BC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 12 Mar 2016 09:05:06 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.775 positions at Boston College 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: <20160312080509.9411.8809@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 775.

Historians, like other humanists show keen interests in computational approaches to the study and processing of digitized sources (usually text, images, audio). In computer science, experimental tools and methods stand the challenge to be validated regarding their relevance for real-world questions and applications. The HistoInformatics workshop series is designed to bring researchers in both fields together, to discuss best practices as well as possible future collaborations. Traditionally, historical research is based on the hermeneutic investigation of preserved records and artifacts to provide a reliable account of the past and to discuss different hypotheses. Alongside this hermeneutic approach historians have always been interested to translate primary sources into data and used methods, often borrowed from the social sciences, to analyze them. A new wealth of digitized historical documents have however opened up completely new challenges for the computer-assisted analysis of e.g. large text or image corpora. Historians can greatly benefit from the advances of computer and information sciences which are dedicated to the processing, organization and analysis of such data. New computational techniques can be applied to help verify and validate historical assumptions. We call this approach HistoInformatics, analogous to Bioinformatics and ChemoInformatics which have respectively proposed new research trends in biology and chemistry. The main topics of the workshop are: (1) support for historical research and analysis in general through the application of computer science theories or technologies, (2) analysis and re-use of historical texts, (3) visualisations of historical data, (4) provision of access to historical knowledge. HistoInformatics workshops took place twice in the past. The first one (http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2013/) was held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Social Informatics in Kyoto, Japan in 2013. The second workshop (http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2014/) took place at the same conference in the following year in Barcelona. For our workshop at DH2016 we invite papers from a wide range of topics which are of relevance for history, the cultural heritage sector and the humanities in general. The workshop targets researchers who work on the intersections of history and computer science. We invite papers on the following and related topics: • 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 disambiguation in historical texts • Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical references in text • Finding analogical entities over time • Analysis of language change over time • Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time • Network Analysis • Automatic multimedia document dating • Simulating and recreating the past course of actions, social relations, motivations, figurations • Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data • 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 • Epistemologies in the Humanities and computer science **Practical matters** Submission deadline: 9th May 2016 Notification deadline: 31st May 2016 Camera ready copy deadline: 7th June 2016 Submissions need to be: • formatted according to Easychair paper formatting guidelines (http://www.easychair.org/publications/?page=1594225690). • original and have not been submitted for publication elsewhere. • submitted in English in PDF format • at the workshop’s Easychair page: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=histoinformatics2016.

The archive is accessible at: http://scotscemeteryarchivekolkata.com and this project follows our previous work on a similar archive http://dutchcemeterybengal.com on the Dutch settlement in Bengal. Some of the most interesting and poignant legacies of colonialism in Kolkata are its colonial cemeteries. Much the most famous of these are the South Park Street Cemetery (dating from 1767) which contains the tombs of key names in the colonial history. Less well-known are the Scottish cemetery in Kareya Road or the Sudder Bazaar Cemetery in Barrackpore. These cemeteries (and their counterparts in Scotland) represent an invaluable resource that has not been adequately studied. To facilitate research into these unexplored layers of cultural history – on one level from the tombs themselves and on another, tracing emergent connections between the names of those buried here and key events during the early period of British colonialism – is the major focus of a strand of the ‘Narratives of Migration and Exchange’ project under the UK-India Research Initiative (UKIERI) funding received by Presidency University, in collaboration with the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. Although much has been said about prominent figures in the Raj, there has been little research on the quotidian lives of the ordinary thousands who migrated from their homes in Scotland and England to run the complex mechanism of Empire. Even less is known about their interactions with the other communities in the land they governed or ran businesses in. This digital archive of the Scottish Cemetery begins to explore the untold stories of the colonial India that we rarely get to see. Besides our collaboration with the University of St. Andrews, this project owes a lot to the assistance received from the Kolkata Scottish Heritage Trust (headed by Lord Charles Bruce) and the St. Andrews Kirk in Kolkata. We hope that this archive will benefit researchers from across disciplines, genealogists and those generally interested in life in colonial India. We welcome suggestions, comments and more information about the lives of the people featured in our database. As part of out Digital Humanities initiative, we also plan to create similar databases for the other colonial cemeteries in India and to aid the efforts of any others who wish to do so. Your feedback on the project as well as expressions of interest and support are warmly welcome. More detailed information about the project can be found below and of course, on our website itself http://readinggamesplayingbooks.com/scots/node/194#overlay-context= .

Much the most famous of these are the South Park Street Cemetery (dating from 1767) which contains the tombs of key names in the colonial history. Less well-known are the Scottish cemetery in Kareya Road or the Sudder Bazaar Cemetery in Barrackpore.

Even less is known about their interactions with the other communities in the land they governed or ran businesses in. This digital archive of the Scottish Cemetery begins to explore the untold stories of the colonial India that we rarely get to see. The Narratives of Migration project, in collaboration with our British partners, the University of St. Andrews is aimed at jointly researching the lives and the impact of the groups of people who left their countries to settle elsewhere, whether willingly or under duress (for example, during the partition of India). This particular strand within the larger project aims to research the role of cemeteries as repositories of collective memory. Continuing our Digital Humanities initiative of archiving colonial cemeteries, we focus on creating a digital archive of the Scottish Cemetery on Kolkata’s Kareya Road - a unique space for researching the history of colonial India and of the global impact of the Scots. The role of the Scots in building modern India, although well known, has not been researched adequately. Likewise, the impact of India on Scotland is also an area of much academic enquiry. The cemeteries project is an attempt in opening up such fields of enquiry : the aim here is to create fully searchable digital databases of the cemetery records that will contain as much data and metadata that can be gathered about those who were buried in these cemeteries. For instance, not only does the a database record details such as the year of death, location of the tomb and the cause of death but it also records more detailed information that is available from other sources, such as biographies, periodicals, obituaries, wills and even advertisements. Such a database will potentially benefit academic research in history, anthropology, sociology and cultural studies. Besides our collaboration with the University of St. Andrews, this project owes a lot to the assistance received from the Kolkata Scottish Heritage Trust (headed by Lord Charles Bruce), St. Andrews Kirk in Kolkata and Dr Neeta Das. Besides our work on the Scottish cemetery, we have also completed a similar database on the Dutch settlement in Chinsurah, last year. The website is available at: http://dutchcemeterybengal.com. As part of out Digital Humanities initiative, we also plan to create similar databases for the other colonial cemeteries in India and to aid the efforts of any others who wish to do so. Any expressions of interest and support are warmly solicited. _______________________________________________ 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 84BCA6573; Mon, 14 Mar 2016 09:35:02 +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 C076564A6; Mon, 14 Mar 2016 09:35:01 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 94D0564A6; Mon, 14 Mar 2016 09:34:59 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160314083459.94D0564A6@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2016 09:34:59 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.781 events: living with projects; minimal computing 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: <20160314083502.22131.76128@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 781.

Continuing the MCG's long-standing interest in how museums respond to the changes that digital technologies bring, our event theme is 'Life Support: living with digital projects'. Museums have invested in digital projects for exhibitions, events, audience interaction, collections management and more. Myriad funders, from government to trusts and foundations to philanthropists, are willing to provide project funding for museums to complete website rebuilds, develop new digital interactives and apps, create online collections sites and picture libraries. But what happens the day after a project launches? How do individual projects affect the rest of the museum? And a year after launch, what traces remain of the lessons learnt? We are seeking proposals from colleagues willing to share their insights on the aftermath of digital projects in the cultural heritage sector. How have you successfully integrated digital projects into core business? Where have you struggled, and what lessons have you learned? Topics of interest include: * Maintaining digital projects after the funding has run out * The pros and cons of building in-house expertise vs outsourcing and agencies * Integrating project learning into core practices, workflows and job descriptions * The role of project evaluation internally and in the wider sector * How partnerships change and evolve after the end of a project. We are looking for a number of short (c. 20 minute) talks that share practical experience and will give delegates concrete ideas to take back to their organisations. We would also be interested in sessions that take a different approach, whether that be a workshop, debate or roundtable - feel free to be creative in pitching your idea! If you're not sure about your proposed topic or format, then get in touch: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/contact/ Our application form is here: http://goo.gl/forms/5qddYLUN6r *The call closes at midnight GMT on March 21, 2016. We will review proposals and get back to you within a fortnight.* Other event information: In what's probably a first for the cultural sector, the MCG has started sharing the profits from our events with speakers. Speakers can choose to 'pay it forward' and contribute to bursaries for low income/unwanted attendees, or accept a small sum in recognition of the work it takes to prepare a presentation. Our keynote speaker is a major figure from the museum world - stay tuned for an announcement this week!

Perhaps this CFP for "Minimal Computing: A Workshop" at Digital Humanities 2016 will be of interest. Details below my signature. Abstract are due 1 May 2016. Best, Jentery Sayers University of Victoria MINIMAL COMPUTING: A WORKSHOP 12 July 2016 | Digital Humanities 2016 | Kraków http://go-dh.github.io/mincomp/blog/2016/03/11/cfp-dh2016/ Scheduled for 12 July 2016, this Digital Humanities 2016 (http://dh2016.adho.org/) workshop will explore the practice and influence of minimal computing from both a practical and theoretical perspective. We use “minimal computing” to refer to computing done under some set of significant constraints, including constraints of hardware, software, education, network capacity, infrastructure, and power. Minimal computing is also used to capture the maintenance, refurbishing, and use of machines to do work out of necessity, along with the choice to use streamlined computing hardware, such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino. In essence, it calls for the reduction of the technical infrastructure required to produce, disseminate, and preserve digital scholarship. Put this way, it can reduce external dependencies (such as reliance on proprietary software, network infrastructure, or complex technology stacks), help communities to assert some control over their content, and facilitate sharing and preservation. This dichotomy of choice versus necessity underscores technology that is arguably not the high-performance computing of high-income economies. By operating within this tension between choice and necessity, minimal computing brings important concepts and practices within digital humanities to the fore. In this way it is also an intellectual concept, akin to environmentalism, asking for balance between gains and costs in areas including social justice, manufacturing, waste, and labor. Despite its fundamental concerns, minimal computing still lacks a cogent research agenda within digital humanities. As such, this workshop aims to bring like-minded researchers from a variety of disciplines to the same space to share work in progress and collectively articulate lines of future inquiry. PAPERS For the workshop, we invite short papers or thought pieces (500-2000 words) engaging questions such as: * What are best practices for application construction in order to maximize access, decrease obsolescence, and reduce e-waste? * How and in what ways does experience in mid- and low-income economies inform ongoing assumptions about how research and collaboration are conducted in high-income economies? * In terms of computing and culture, what meaningful differences emerge across economical, infrastructural, and material conditions? * In and beyond digital humanities, what is implied by minimalist design, and to what effects on practice? * In digital humanities and other contexts, what research is being > conducted with which physical computing technologies, how, and why? * How do the different histories of minimalism in art, design, and > industry form genealogies for minimalism in computers? Or what interesting work are people currently doing with minimal computing in areas such as art, design, and experimental media? Papers may be anchored in existing minimal computing projects, or they may be more theoretical or historical in character. SUBMISSIONS (by 1 May 2016) To respond to this call for papers, please submit a 250-word abstract to Jentery Sayers (University of Victoria) at jentery@uvic.ca. Together with the abstract, please include your name, email address, and affiliation. Please include the abstract in the body of your email.

VENUE AND DATE Goldsmiths, University of London. Ian Gulland Lecture Theatre, Whitehead Building. #34 on this map http://www.gold.ac.uk/campus-map/ . 10:30 - 18:00, Monday 11 April 2016. DESCRIPTION Music publishing and writing about music have always pushed at the boundaries of publishing technology. And the dissemination of music documents often challenges our notions of authorial ownership. As digital technology increasingly dominates the production and dissemination of scholarly content, including original writing, critical editions, and creative practice, how will music research rise to the challenges it poses? This one day event forms part of the Academic Book of the Future project and aims to explore how digital production and dissemination will impact on music publishing and scholarship in the coming years. Topics covered will include: what will be the best practice for encoding, dissemination, and preservation of music notation? How will online collaboration affect the production and ownership of digital music editions? How can the narrative structures and arguments of scholarly discourse and of music editions be preserved in a context of 'random access' (from search engines, etc.)? Should scholars and artists publish their work (writing, editions, compositions) as Open Access, and should they carry out their drafting processes in public, making early editions and edit histories available online? BOOKING Attendance is free (including refreshments, lunch and a wine reception).

We hope it will be of your interest. Please spread the word to whom it may concern! Best regards, Carmen Brando (IGN) & Francesca Frontini (ILC-CNR) CALL FOR PARTICIPATION The 1st edition of the workshop APlace4Places, current trends and challenges in the development and use of geo-historical gazetteers, will hold in conjunction with the 2016 Digital Humanities conference in Kraków, Poland. The present workshop aims to investigate the latest developments of geo-historical gazetteers and their impact in natural language processing and digital humanities studies. In particular the workshop will deal with crucial problems concerning the geo-spatial models of representation for ancient places, and the management of temporal information for geographic features in general. Current projects concerning the publication of geo-historical data as Linked Open Data, as well as their exploitation for annotating and enriching texts will also be discussed, alongside with more theoretical issues on vocabularies and ontologies. A group of well known invited scholars will hold 15 minutes presentations, discussing different and approaches to the topic, ranging from engineering, data models, standards and publication, corpus annotation models, visualization. An interactive discussion with workshop attendees about their current projects as well as a sum up panel will constitute an occasion for the community to gather together and harmonize efforts. The intended audience are scholars, data designers, and software developers who are or will be involved in research projects concerning the spatial humanities. The workshop is endorsed by The GeoHumanities Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations. The workshop will take place on Monday, 11/Jul/2016: 9:30am - 6:00pm. Save the date! For further information, please visit our web site, http://aplace4places.github.io. Do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you need further information.

This year’s one-day symposium will immediately follow the DH@Guelph Summer Workshops at the University of Guelph campus. Community-Facing Learning and Digital Pedagogy Keynote: Designing the Digital University: Materiality, Embodiment, and Mess [abstract ] Dr. Liz Losh Director of the Culture, Art & Technology program, Director of Academic Programs, Sixth College, University of California, San Diego. Author of The War on Learning: Gaining Ground in the Digital University (MIT Press) Presenters include Christine Berkowitz, Connie Guberman, Aimée Morrison, and Brian Sutherland The theme of Community-Facing Learning explores how faculty and students promote and sustain strong teaching, learning, and/or research partnerships with the wider community beyond the university, including local and global communities and especially digital communities. It involves such diverse topics as connecting academic scholarship to the public commons; experiential and service learning; recontextualizing the university experience for the next generation of post-secondary students; cross-generational projects with young people and elders; interdisciplinary projects with academic units beyond the Humanities; projects partnering undergraduate and graduate students or universities and schools (K-20 education); and social justice pedagogy. The overall goal of the one-day symposium is to circulate, discuss, and promote best practices related to the teaching of digital literacies and new research methodologies to undergraduate and graduate students. The symposium will open with the keynote by Dr. Losh, and comprise a blend of one-hour workshops/talks with lightning presentations and associated demonstrations of pedagogical experiments, interfaces, tools, projects, and research results. See the call for papers below. About the Institute The development of Digital literacy is increasingly a priority for undergraduate and graduate students and thus for the faculty who teach them. Emerging technologies are having an impact on the ways in which university research is currently conducted by scholars across all disciplines. There is an increasing reliance on digital tools and methods leading to innovative approaches to research and teaching. In part due to these developments, scholarship has taken on a much more collaborative nature, and there has been an increase in experimentation with new forms of research exploration and dissemination. New digital research methods require faculty and students to develop new skill sets. The Digital Pedagogy Institute, hosted by UTSC Library, Brock, Ryerson, and Guelph Universities, will explore themes and issues related to Digital Pedagogy. In its third iteration, the symposium will continue to build on themes and issues discussed at the 2015 institute, including the intersection of Digital Pedagogy and the student experience, with a specific focus on the undergraduate level. Call for papers Long papers or workshops (1-hour sessions) The Digital Pedagogy Institute Program Committee invites proposals from all disciplines (e.g., Humanities, Social Sciences, and Sciences) for individual long papers or workshops to be presented at the Institute. Student proposals are welcome. Please submit an abstract of 250-300 words (exclusive of bibliography) with a title, a brief biographical statement, and your contact information. If you are proposing a workshop provide some sense of the extent to which it will be hands-on, whether participants will need to be bring a computer or other device, and whether it will need to be held in a lab and require any software installation in advance (we have one computer lab available). Papers that cannot be accommodated in the program may be invited to present in the lightning presentation session. Lightning Presentation + Posters/Demonstrations The Institute will close with a lively session devoted to lightning presentations and posters or digital demonstrations. Presenters will start by using 2 minutes and no more than 2 slides to whet participants’ appetites for visiting their poster or digital demonstration of a tool, course, prototype, website, research outcome, or other projects related to digital pedagogy. Abstracts will also be distributed in advance. Following the presentations there will be alloted time for visiting the demonstrations or posters and for general social mingling. Please submit an abstract of 250-300 words with a title, a brief biographical statement, and your contact information. Proposals should be sent to prousseau@utsc.utoronto.ca by April 8th, 2016. The Program Committee members who will review the submissions are Jason Boyd, Susan Brown, David Hutchison, Kim Martin, Pauline Rousseau (chair).

Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop, New York, Fri 12 Aug 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS 3rd International Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop (DLfM 2016) Friday 12th August The Avery Fisher Center for Music and Media, Bobst Library, New York University, NY, USA A satellite event of ISMIR 2016 http://www.t-mus.org/dlfm/ 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. This, the third Digital Libraries for Musicology workshop, is a satellite event of the annual International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR) conference, and in particular encourages reports on the use of MIR methods and technologies within Music Digital Library systems when applied to the pursuit of musicological research. 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 third edition of DLfM following a very successful and well received workshop at Digital Libraries 2014, and then at JCDL 2015, giving an opportunity for the community to present and discuss recent developments that address the challenges of effectively combining technology with musicology through Digital Library systems and their application. 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, large collections of both audio and music related data, ‘big data’ method, and MIR; - 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. - Applied MIR techniques in Music Digital Libraries and musicological investigations using them. - 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 artifacts. 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.

With generous funding from the National Science Foundation and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (Canada), we’ve been able to extend the datathon program, and are excited to bring this program to the Library of Congress. The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. This hackathon presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This hackathon will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to hackathon, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language such as Python strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. Thanks to the generous support of the National Science Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the University of Waterloo’s Department of History, the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the University of Waterloo, and the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University, we will cover all meals and refreshments for attendees. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the hackathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: • the .gov web archive covering the American government domain • Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups collection Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Matthew Weber (matthew.weber@rutgers.edu ) by March 21 2016 with “Archives Unleashed” in the subject line. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the hackathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by March 30 2016. We have a limited number of travel grants available for graduate students; preference will be given to those who have not participated in the Archives Unleashed program in the past, although we welcome returning participants. These grants can cover up to $750 in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant. A letter of support from your graduate supervisor will also strengthen your application.

Brno is the capital of South Moravia, which is located in the south-east part of the Czech Republic and is known for a wide range of cultural, natural, and technical sights. South Moravia is a traditional wine region. Brno had been a Royal City since 1347 and with its six universities it forms a cultural center of the region. Brno can be reached easily by direct flights from London, Munich, or Eindhoven and by trains or buses from Prague (200 km) or Vienna (130 km). For the participants with some extra time, nearby places may also be of interest. Local ones include: Brno Castle now called Spilberk, Veveri Castle, the Old and New City Halls, the Augustine Monastery with St. Thomas Church and crypt of Moravian Margraves, Church of St. James, Cathedral of St. Peter & Paul, Cartesian Monastery in Kralovo Pole, the famous Villa Tugendhat designed by Mies van der Rohe along with other important buildings of between-war Czech architecture. For those willing to venture out of Brno, Moravian Karst with Macocha Chasm and Punkva caves, battlefield of the Battle of three emperors (Napoleon, Russian Alexander and Austrian Franz - Battle by Austerlitz), Chateau of Slavkov (Austerlitz), Pernstejn Castle, Buchlov Castle, Lednice Chateau, Buchlovice Chateau, Letovice Chateau, Mikulov with one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Central Europe, Telc - a town on the UNESCO heritage list, and many others are all within easy reach. _______________________________________________ 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 72837659A; Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:25:52 +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 93F6A11C8; Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:25:51 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 86E6E1218; Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:25:49 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160317062549.86E6E1218@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:25:49 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 29.786 AI and Go 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: <20160317062552.11383.41255@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 786.

A clear victory for the machine, but at least not the whitewash it looked like becoming at 0-3. This is an important achievement for Artificial Intelligence (AI). Though predicted, it happened sooner than most (in the know) anticipated. It stands as another demonstration of what lots of fast computation organised in an appropriate way can do. The Economist's Showdown piece, like many other similar reports of this event, affords an opportunity to attempt a rebalancing of the outcome. It's not yet another defeat for humankind. Nor is it yet another step along the way to machines taking over from us humans. Far from it. It is, however, yet another example of how computational AI achievements like this messes with the way we talk about what humans do and what machines do, such that machines look at least as good as humans, if not better, at doing things humans do. There are stark and strong differences between what Lee Sedol did and what AlphaGo did. You'd think that the human qualities that Lee Sedol demonstrated, and AlphaGo didn't, would be given more prominence, but they're not. This is the machine winning out against humanity. This is what needs re-balancing. Lee Sedol can explain to anybody who asks what Go is, how it is played, how he plays Go, including that there are mysterious hardly utterable aspects to his way of playing, how he felt about each game against AlphaGo, and he can teach others how to play Go, comment usefully on their efforts, and promote the game. AlphaGo can do none of these things: it doesn't know it competed in a game of Go; it displays no appreciation of having won the match. Yet, these things Lee Sedol can do are all part of playing Go. Aren't they? Why do we equate what AlphaGo does with what Lee Sedol does, and say that they both play Go? Lee does play Go. AlphaGo just does Go. It doesn't play Go, not in the sense the word play has when we use it to talk about what Lee Sedol does. Yes, AlphaGo does Go better than Lee Sedol, but it does not, and so far cannot, play Go. Playing, for humans, is not, and cannot be just making the moves needed to win the game. It was the same when Deep Blue (II) beat Garry Kasparov at Chess, in May 1997. Deep Blue did chess better than Kasparov, but it didn't play Chess. This is why Chess, as a game played by Humans, has not been swept away and replaced by machine vs machine competitions. Humans still play Chess, and use Chess machines to do this. Machines still don't play Chess. And they're not on the way to doing this. Nobody, as far as I know, is try to build machines that can do this. The Economist piece illustrates where this distorting word game often starts. It, like many other reports, explains how there are so many many more Go "... games that can be played" due to the combinatorics of all the different legal sequences of Go board configurations. But, if you ask even an unskilled (Human) player of Go, she will tell you that most of these possible sequences of states of "play" would never happen in a real game of Go: a game played by Humans. Nobody, as far as I know, has attempted to estimate how many of these theoretically possible sequences of Go plays form a part of real Go games. It is surely large. Very large. But nowhere near as large as the (guessed at) 10**70 reported by the Economist. The challenge for AlphaGo, as it was for Deep Blue in Chess, is to compute only those plays that are part of a good competitive game of Go. It's no mean feat that it's shown it can do this, well enough at least to beat Lee Sedol. But, AlphaGo can itself tell us nothing about how it did this, nor anything about how it plays the games it won and the game it lost: what was the difference? It needs Dr Hassabis and his colleagues to do this, after they have spent sufficient time analysing what their machine did ... and applying much of their Human intelligence in this doing. It remains the case that Lee Sedol plays Go, and does so very well, and that AlphaGo only does Go, albeit well enough to beat Lee. What this shows, as Deep Blue did in the case of Chess, is that sufficient and fast enough computational decision making of the appropriate kind, can approximate and surpass in performance, the knowledge, understanding, intuitions, and emotions of the way Humans play Chess and now Go. As I said, this is no doubt an important achievement for AI, but it hardly scratches the surface of Human intelligence and of what being Human is. What would be nice is if we Humans, took a little more care to keep this clear and out front when we talk about these Human vs Machines contests. What would also be nice is if those who practice in the Digital Humanities also took more care about the words they use to talk about what their digital machines do. Computers do not read texts, not in the same sense that Humans read, for example. If Humanists don't look after the language they use, why are the digital technology types going to do this? As you can probably tell, this matter is a Hobby Horse of mine. I've had this horse for a long time. It gets taken out for exercise quite often. I hope you don't mind me riding it over your land this time.

Mellon Foundation, will host its third annual digital scholarship conference on October 28-30, 2016. The theme of the conference is “Negotiating Borders through Digital Collaboration.” This conference will bring together a broad community of practitioners--faculty, researchers, librarians, educational technologists, and students--who are using technology to rethink seemingly intractable borders within and outside of the university. We define “borders” as boundaries that limit access; conditions that differentiate insiders from outsiders; or any obstacle that impairs open communication and collaboration. We invite proposals that explore or critique digital modes of scholarly, cultural, and political intersectionality. Special consideration will be given to proposals that demonstrate how crossing institutional boundaries, whether within or beyond the university, can facilitate the expansion of borders, broadly conceived. Some topics may include: - Digital tools that bridge the gap between scholarship and teaching - Computational methods that explore intersections of identity, power, and social justice - Global and multilingual aspects of digital scholarship - The role of technology in creating communities of practice that bridge cultural, racial, and economic divides - Digital technologies that facilitate equitable collaborations between faculty and students, or that bridge the town/gown divide - New modes of inquiry that negotiate and rethink normative ideas of gender and sexuality - Forms of digital scholarship that allow for increased accessibility Presentations may take the form of interactive presentations, project demos, electronic posters, panel discussions, work-in-progress sessions, workshops, or lightning talks. We look forward to building on the success of the last two years, in which instructional technologists, librarians, archivists, faculty, students, and community members came together to discuss challenges, share working models, reflect on projects, and inspire new avenues for actively including students in public scholarly pursuits.

Sebastian Rahtz 13 February 1955 - 15 March 2016 In-Reply-To: <56EB4053.3070901@it.ox.ac.uk> Dear colleagues, Our one-time colleague and pioneer with me of Humanist, Sebastian Rahtz, has died. Some here will have seen James Cummings' brief notice on the Digital Classicist list, reproduced below as the second included message. But such was (or is?) his unforgettable and enlightening spirit that he seldom left quietly nor left only once. A few of us remaining on Humanist since the early days will remember the first departure, celebrated on 30 March 1989, less than two years after Humanist began when I posted the obit of SPQR (his adopted initials), also included below. Those were heady days, when those of us around then were figuring out what Humanist might be, indeed building what now is called 'digital humanities'. Sebastian left Humanist also just before the great 1989 conference in Toronto, first joint event of the ACH and ALLC. Sebastian, it seems, was one to leave just before things happened, while they were still full of the potential only some of which inevitably was realised. And now he has left for good, as far as we know, just before Humanist celebrates its 30th birthday, on 7 May of this year. About the time of his first leaving he left behind the attached image to commemorate his time here. I send it along as commemoration of his time here in a different sense and as a stimulus to historical reflections. Farewell, friend of Humanist! Yours, WM > Humanist Mailing List, Vol. 2, No. 787.

We can ameliorate the situation by noting that humans *play*, machines *do*, as Tim wrote yesterday. But our reactions are priceless. I particularly like Evelyn Fox Keller's question in one of her articles on artificial life: how close to the edge of as-if are we willing to go? And I wonder, is there an edge? Or, to paraphrase Maxwell, as we refocus our instrument and see down through the millstone of the world, do we ever reach the absolute point where as-if becomes is? The reactions to the question of the human stirred up by scientific discoveries have a long history. They suggest each is a challenge to a new becoming. Each is powered by fear that it won't happen. And that's my hobby-horse, here and gone. Comments? Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, and Digital Humanities Research Group, Western Sydney University --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:43:42 +0000 From: Gabriel Egan Subject: Re: [Humanist] 29.786 AI and Go In-Reply-To: <20160317062549.86E6E1218@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Humanists I must respectfully disagree with Tim Smithers' characterization of the victory of AlphaGo over Lee Sodal at the game of Go. It may well be that AlphaGo arrives at its choices of moves in a different way from Sodal, but that cannot fairly be characterized as "AlphaGo ... doesn't play Go". Clearly, it not only plays Go--it follows the agreed rules and attempts to achieve what the rules define as success-- but it also wins at Go. Had the human won the contest, I don't think we would entertain a claim by the machine's supporters that Sodal didn't really win because he played Go differently from the machine. Of course they play differently: one of them plays much better than the other, that's the essential difference between them. The rules of Go do not prescribe the means of winning, only what count as valid moves and what counts as winning. All players are free to turn those rules into strategies. To say that for a victory to count the machine must think the way that a human thinks sounds like changing the rules after the contest is over, and furthermore it supposes that we know how the human thinks, and I submit that in fact we do not know this. That Sodal can talk about the game and the machine cannot is no more to the point than the fact that the machine emits electromagnetic radiation (that can be picked up by a nearby radio) and Sodal cannot. If we defined either ability--to speak or to interfere with radio sets--as part of the contest at the beginning, both sides would have gone about the contest quite differently. We cannot reasonably set that as part of the challenge only after one side has lost. The claim that the machine "doesn't know it competed in a game of Go" only make sense if we agree on what it means to "know" something, and in fact experts on knowledge seem not agree to on what that means. Non-experts can easily see how difficult it is to define "knowing". I have a close relative suffering from dementia who beat me at Scrabble last week, and she is unable to recall doing so: she doesn't "know" it in the sense of "knowing" that Smithers relies upon. To see why this is relevant, let us suppose that Sodal were for some reason unable to communicate. Would he thereby lack the "human" characteristics that Smithers thinks make all the difference between man and machine? That would be a very coarse judgement, but it follows from the way that Smithers seems to define "knowing".

Cultural transmission in Antiquity was primarily oral, supplemented by images and texts. Texts were read by, at most, 10% of the population. Nevertheless, Classicists first employed the term literacy in the singular, according to its 19th-century definition: the ability to read and write texts (Clivaz, 2013). William Harris employed it this way in his milestone Ancient Literacy (1989). But since the 2000s, the plural form has gained currency, notably in Parker and Johnson’s collection of essays, Ancient Literacies (2009), which explores “new essentialist questions, such as what ‘book’ and ‘reading’ signify in antiquity, why literate cultures develop, or why literate cultures matter” (p. 4). The complex notion of “illiteracy” has also enriched our understanding of ancient literacies (Kraus, 2000; Cribiore 2013, p. 66–69). Since modernity, almost all the tools for studying ancient sources have reflected the logic and standards of singular literacy and its association with the written (and especially printed) word. Now, emerging digital tools and culture have added urgency to the ongoing revision of research on ancient literacy. Contributions are invited on a rich variety of relevant topics, including: Multimodal literacies in Antiquity and/or today Digital literacies and their connection to ancient literacies Digital literacies and their implications for the study of Antiquity Digital Pedagogy and teaching Antiquity Comparison of orality in Antiquity and contemporary digital culture Comparison of textuality in Anitiquity and contemporary digital culture Metacritical analysis of standard printed tools used for the study of the ancient world Submissions on the Ancient Near East, Greece, or Rome (through Late Antiquity) are welcome. Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words by June 1st, 2016, to Paul Dilley: paul-dilley@uiowa.edu. Articles should be between 30,000 and 45,000 characters long, including bibliography and footnotes; the deadline for submission is August 31st, 2016. As Classics@ is an open access online publication, authors can link directly to relevant sites, and may update articles after publication.

That's as good an epitaph for Sebastian as any I can think of. The digital publications I'm involved with at the University of Virginia Press probably wouldn't exist without the Text Encoding Initiative, and the deliverables of the TEI almost certainly wouldn't have the scope and power they do today without Sebastian's years of absolutely dedicated service to the TEI Guidelines and associated stylesheets and tools. Certainly Sebastian has departed the TEI community leaving very little of its potential unfulfilled, though far too soon in human terms.

We have arranged for support for up to up to 20 scholars to help with the costs of transportation and accommodation. 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, Western Sydney University) and Geoffrey Rockwell (Director, Kule Institute for Advanced Study, University of Alberta, Canada) will convene the New Scholars Seminar. What is the New Scholars Seminar? The NSS is an unconference event on Sunday 10th July preceding the DH2016 conference. The event is 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. (See this > and related blog posts on last year's NSS at DH2015 in Sydney.) 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 20 people, who must be affiliated with a CHCI or centerNet member organization. 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, including a statement specifying the matching funds the centre will offer to supplement the 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, requiring matching support from the applicant’s home institution. For participants from outside Europe: • CHCI will provide $750 USD in support of up to 10 participants outside Europe who are sponsored by CHCI institutes. centerNet will provide a further $250 USD in support for these participants. • The sponsoring CHCI institutes are expected to provide matching support to the applicants if they are accepted. Participants from within Europe will receive the following support: • CHCI will provide $250 USD. CenterNet will provide a further $100 USD in support for these participants. • The sponsoring CHCI institutes are expected to provide matching support to the applicants if they are accepted. For the purposes of the award, Europe is defined as any country within Continental Europe, and the United Kingdom and Ireland. 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: • 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. • The on site portion of the Seminar will take place on 10th July. The program will include short presentations by participants addressing issues identified in online discussion and unconference activities. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2016 20:09:42 +0000 (UTC) From: Elena_González-Blanco Subject: DayofDH 2016 8th April - Registration opened Dear Digital Humanists, It is a pleasure for us to announce that the DayofDH 2016 website has just been opened!

Moneyball for Book Publishers: A Detailed Look at How We Read http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/15/business/media/moneyball-for-book-publishers-for-a-detailed-look-at-how-we-read.html Opening section: —snip— Andrew Rhomberg wants to be the Billy Beane of the book world. Mr. Beane used analytics to transform baseball, famously recounted in “Moneyball,” a book by Michael Lewis. Now Mr. Rhomberg wants to use data about people’s reading habits to radically reshape how publishers acquire, edit and market books. “We still know almost nothing about readers, especially in trade publishing,” said Mr. Rhomberg, the founder of Jellybooks, a reader analytics company based in London. While e-books retailers like Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble can collect troves of data on their customers’ reading behavior, publishers and writers are still in the dark about what actually happens when readers pick up a book. Do most people devour it in a single sitting, or do half of readers give up after Chapter 2? Are women over 50 more likely to finish the book than young men? Which passages do they highlight, and which do they skip? Mr. Rhomberg’s company is offering publishers the tantalizing prospect of peering over readers’ shoulders. Jellybooks tracks reading behavior the same way Netflix knows what shows you binge-watch and Spotify knows what songs you skip. —snip— Best regards, Ken Ken Friedman, PhD, DSc (hc), FDRS | Editor-in-Chief | 设计 She Ji.

While this is a matter of speculation, the reasons for her murder, explained in my recent paper published by Vigiliae Christianae, point out to the conflict within the early Church over the Paschal calendar, or rather over its basic landmark - the vernal (spring) equinox day, which incidentally falls today, March 20.

Dear List, Due to popular demand both at and after the DiXiT 2 convention that took place in Cologne last week, we have decided to extend the deadline for our CfP of the third DiXiT convention (which will be organized in conjunction with the European Society for Textual Scholarship) with one week. This way we hope to give everyone a chance to digest what they heard and learnt at DiXiT 2, and process it in their abstracts for DiXiT 3. The new and final deadline for submitting abstracts for poster or paper presentations for the DiXiT 3 + ESTS 2016 conference is next Friday, the 25th of March 2016. The conference theme is: Digital Scholarly Editing: Theory, Practice Methods, and will focus on the impact of the digital medium on the theory and practice of Textual Criticism and Scholarly Editing. The conference will take place from Wednesday 5 to Friday 7 October 2016 at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, where it will be hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics. The conference is organized in conjunction with DiXiT, the Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) on Digital Scholarly Editing, and the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS). Confirmed keynote speakers are Kathryn Sutherland and Paul Eggert; and the conference's guests of honour are Hans Walter Gabler and Peter Shillingsburg. The day before the conference (on the 4th of October 2016), the host institution will also organize a day of pre-conference workshops on such topics as - complexities of project logistics; - assessing digital representations and encodings of a critical apparatus; - the state of the art of automatic collation tools. Below you will find more information on how to submit abstracts for the conference, more information on some of our confirmed pre-conference workshops, and contact information. All the best, Dirk Van Hulle and Wout Dillen on behalf of the OC ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS ————————————— Abstracts of up to 300 words can be sent to Dirk Van Hulle (dirk.vanhulle@uantwerpen.be ) or Wout Dillen (wout.dillen@uantwerpen.be ) by Sunday 27th or March 2016. Abstracts can either be for 20-minute conference papers, or for poster presentations. Please state clearly in the abstract whether you would like to submit it as a paper, or as a poster. PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS ————————————————— On the 4th of October, the day before the conference takes off, the host institution will also organize a day of pre-conference workshops that includes two so-called 'DiXiT Add-ons': a half-day workshop on Complexities of Project Logistics, and a full-day workshop on Digital Scholarly Editions and Textual Criticism, that will include a State of the Art of Automatic Collation Tools.

Your thoughts on this are both nice to see. Gabriel: I prefer more detail and precision in how we talk about this--that my errors and flaws may be the easier to identify and correct. Just making moves in Go that satisfy the rules of the game does not, in and of itself, constitute what we mean by playing Go. And it certainly doesn't win games, not interesting ones. Legal moves are a necessary but not sufficient part of playing Go. It's the same in most games. Indeed, I'd say all games. The fun, the challenge, the victory does not reside in merely knowing how to make legal moves. AlphaGo did win the Go match against Lee Sedol. I didn't want to suggest otherwise. But I do want to say that winning by making a better sequences of moves against the opponent is not all that playing involves, not in human play. If it were so, I doubt many humans would bother playing games. More to the point, I doubt humans would be able to play games if playing them involved only trying to win. Human game playing engages many different (human) capacities, and, I would say, in practice, necessarily so: learning from other humans; talking about it; reading about it; explaining how to play well, and how not to; listening to others and understanding them when they talk about how they play; looking at, understanding, discussing, learning from the games of others, including those that involve machines; studying the history of the game, and the people who play and have played it; and more. My claim is that AlphaGo displays too few of these capacities for it to be fair to use the same word to talk about what it does and what Lee Sedol does as a player of Go. If it aids the conversation, rather than AlphaGo does and Lee Sedol plays, we might have two words to distinguish the two different kinds of playing here: h-play for human play, as Lee Sedol does; and m-play for machine play, as AplhaGo does. It is interesting to try to build machines that can compete with the best human players in games like Go and Chess. It's impressive when they win, and certainly no mean achievement. What I don't think is warranted is to then claim, or take it that, these machines play these games as humans do, albeit by different means. It is interesting that it's possible for a machine to win at a difficult game against the best human practitioners, yet not be a player of the game like humans are. This was not the expectation of even a few decades ago, at the beginning of AI. It was, I think, believed by most people then that if a machine could be built to play human level Chess, it would need to play Chess much like the humans play. This is what most people still believe, I think. A belief reinforced by describing machines like Deep Blue and AlphaGo as Chess playing and Go playing, respectively, without remarking upon the gross differences in what the word "playing" can sensibly mean in each case here. Willard's question, following Fox Keller, is, I think, key. When does as-if become is?; when does m-playing become h-playing? This is the productive question here. But, if, at the first sight of a machine beating one of the best humans at Go, we say AlphaGo plays Go as Lee Sedol plays Go, we close this question and remove the possibility of further investigation, insight, and understanding of the differences. There can be no refocusing to "see down into different depths through the great millstone of the world," as Maxwell put it [1]. This would be an untypically human thing to do, I think: curiosity strongly marks human intelligence, but not that of machines like AlphaGo and Deep Blue. Alan Turing proposed a way to answer a "when is as-if the same as is" question: when is m-intelligence the same as h-intelligence. He proposed it would be when a human could not tell the difference between the as-if and the is. There is, however, a curious, and little remarked upon, asymmetry in Turing's test. The human tester decides if the machine performance is indistinguishable from the human performance, but the machine doesn't get to decide if the human performance is indistinguishable from the machine performance. Yet, for real human-machine equivalence, this is required. Just taking the human judgement here is unfair on humans and machines, and serves to close human minds to the real and interesting question: how are we intelligent beings. Human intelligence is, I maintain, little like the intelligence of the automated decision making machines we now have that can beat the very best of us at Chess and Go, and do a better job on other kinds of complex decision making tasks. So different, I want to press, that we should take care to use different ways to talk about these difference kinds of intelligence. Now is not the moment to say much on knowledge, but AI has given us what I think is the most practical notion of knowledge we currently have. Allen Newel--one of the "Fathers" of AI, who worked closely with Hebert Simon--in his 1980 paper The Knowledge Level [2], introduced the notion of knowledge as a capacity for rational action. This both escapes the difficulties with the classical notion of knowledge as justified true believe (JTB), and does a better job of accounting for knowledgeable behaviour in humans and machines than any of the many and varied attempts made to re-build a consensus about what knowledge is after Edmund Gettier’s effective criticism of JTB in 1963. With Newell's notion of knowledge, we can say that Lee Sedol knows much more about playing Go than AlphaGo does, despite having lost his match with AlphaGo. So much more, I would say, that it's not useful to describe them both as players of Go, as we might describe two humans as players of Go. Best regards, Tim Notes [1] "The dimmed outlines of phenomenal things all merge into one another unless we put on the focusing-glass of theory, and screw it up sometimes to one pitch of definition and sometimes to another, so as to see down into different depths through the great millstone of the world." -- James Clerk Maxwell From: Are There Real Analogies in Nature?'

Over the past two centuries these artefacts, dating from c.3000 BC to c.100 AD, have been excavated from archaeological sites across the Middle East, particularly Iraq and Syria, and are now housed in many different museums around the world. For several decades now there has been a concerted effort to catalogue, photograph, edit and analyse these most precious witnesses of the first half of history. The editorial and analytical effort has been spearheaded by Oracc.org http://oracc.org/ , the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus, co-directed by Professor Eleanor Robson here at UCL, along with international colleagues. On Wednesday 27^th April 2016, Eleanor Robson, along with Raquel Alegre of RITS, will give a seminar presenting a new editorial interface they have been working on for Oracc, that will hopefully enable a significant number of less technophile colleagues to contribute to the project. They will explain what Oracc does and why it matters, why new software was needed, and how it improves the editorial experience. All welcome and there will be drinks and discussion after the talk.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 12:45:20 +0100 From: Ken Friedman Subject: AI and Go Friends, The thread on AI and Go has been rich and interesting. I appreciate Tim Smithers’s comments and the responses. Tim’s earlier comments on the difference between "playing go" and "doing go" are very much at the heart of how and why Lee Sedol plays go while AlphaGo does not. To understand the difference, I suggest reading Yasunari Kawabata’s 1951 novel, The Master of Go. This explains what it is to play go. Kawabata's novel is a semi-fictional retelling of an actual match between two champions. Kawabata, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1968, reported on this six-month-long game in 1938 for a Japanese newspaper. He re-used some of his own reporting in the novel. The book is still imprint for those who want to get an idea of why AlphaGo cannot do and be what it is that a master go player does and is. Of course, the thread raises issues that are locked in the nature of culture — what it is to play, the meaning of play in culture, and the cultural embedment of go. So far, no artificial intelligence system can embody these. Perhaps this will change. The thread reminds me a bit of the folk song about the contest between John Henry, a spike driver for the railroad, and a steam drill. In this case, John Henry won the competition, laying fifteen feet of track against nine for the steam drill. He died as he did so: “Now the man that invented the steam drill He thought he was mighty fine But John Henry strove fifteen feet The steam drill only made nine “John Henry hammered in the mountains His hammer was striking fire But he worked so hard, it broke his poor heart And he laid down his hammerand he died.” The ageing protagonist in The Master of Go died not long after losing his match to the young champion. AlphaGo certainly won match, but there is no evidence that it played a game. Yours, Ken Ken Friedman, PhD, DSc (hc), FDRS | Editor-in-Chief | 设计 She Ji.

(Marcel) *Philosophy of Science in a Forest 2016 (PSF 2016)* This conference is intended for an academic audience working or interested in philosophy of science in the broadest possible sense. Every three years, the Dutch Society for the Philosophy of Science (DSPS; in Dutch: Nederlandse Vereniging voor Wetenschapsfilosofie, NVWF), organises this interational conference. The original idea was to collect everybody in one place who is active in this area of philosophy at an academic level (PhD-students, professors, lecturers, readers, post-docs) in the Netherlands and Flanders and retreat in a forest. The first edition of *Philosophy of Science in a Forest*, Spring 2010, was the first having English as the conference language. Contributions in the Dutch language remain however possible. Contributions from all over the world are now very welcome. Warning: there are no travel funds available. *Location:*Conference Centre Kaap Doorn, near to Utrecht. Registration is already possible (with various options to choose from): https://www.kaapdoorn.nl/nvwf/ *Confrence Dates:* Thursday 19 May, 13:00 hours until Saturday 21 May, 13:00 hours. On Friday evening 20 May, the General Assemblee of the DSPS will take place. The three plenary speakers are: Federica Russo (University of Amsterdam), Matteo Colombo (Tilburg University) and Katie Steele (London School of Economics). Besides these plenary lectures, there will be parallell sessions for contributed speakers with talks lasting 45 minutes, including Q&A. Everyone can submit a contribution. *Extended deadline for submissions *(we can still accept a few): *Thursday 31 March 2016*. Submit to: yespsf2016@gmail.com : one PDF with: title, abstract of about 400 words, branch of philosophy of science (general, biology, physics, economics, etc.), name and affiliation.

Held in conjunction with Digital Humanities 2016,12-16 July, Krakow, Poland. Date: 11 July 2016 There is an abundance of biographical information online that begs to be analyzed with computational methods. Resources like Wiki- and DBpedia, Biographical Dictionaries, Historical Databases, Newsfeeds, Facebook and Twitter all provide information on individual’s lives. ‘Biographical data’ is of particular interest to computer scientists, because it is usually clear and well structured, since all people share common attributes such as place of birth, place of residence, parents, et cetera. The analysis of `biographical data' with new techniques is a topic that is finding strong interest in research groups all over the world, demonstrated most recently by the first conference on Biographical Data, organized in Amsterdam in 2015. This conference brought researchers from various domains together including historians, librarians, computer scientists, data scientists, and computational linguists. The purpose of this workshop is to take a next step in strengthening the community working with digital biographical data by exploring possibilities of turning shared interest into new international collaborations. A central theme in this next step will be connecting and linking data. This workshop brings together researchers from various domains working on biographical data. In addition to sharing latest progress, it has the specific aim to initiate efforts to share (knowledge about) data and data models. The workshop directly contributes to the efforts of the DARIAH workgroup on biographical data and aims to involve new researchers in this collaboration. A call for organization will go out for the Biographical Data in a Digital World Conference in 2017 (2015 conference: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1399/). We explicitly invite researchers to the workshop who work with biographical data for historical research or data analysis (e.g. historians, computational linguists, visualization experts) and are thus already very familiar with models for biographical data, but are not necessarily involved in designing them. This perspective is of great value during discussions on sharing and modeling data and can provide insights into what kind of data models are practical to work with or which links between various datasets are most valuable for research. These insights can in turn help to identify logical and practical first steps towards increasing international collaboration. Call for abstracts The workshop consists of two main components and, accordingly, we solicit two kinds of contributions: 1. Digital research with biographical data We invite researchers to submit abstracts on their research on biographical data. The goal of the poster session is to share latest work on biographical data and create opportunities for collaboration, in particular, between end users (researchers interested in working with biographical data) and providers (data providers and researchers working on tools and data models). Accepted contributions will be presented as posters during the workshop. 2. Biographical data and data models We invite researchers who have biographical data or are working on models for biographical data to submit a description of their data or data model as well as a sample of their data or an example data entry to illustrate the data model. Accepted contributions will be included in the comparative study of data representation and data models. Topics Topics which may be addressed in the poster session include, but certainly are not limited to: - Mining biographies for structured information - Biographies and linked data - Using biographical information for quantitative analyses - The canonization of people and events in history - The use or uselessness of big data for biographical research - Visualizing biographical data - Biographical Dictionaries - Dealing with biographical data in heterogeneous datasets - Practices in digitizing and converting biographical data to a software interpretable format - Automatic biography generation - Biographies across countries and cultures - Standards, vocabularies and best practices for the encoding and processing of biographical data Data and data model descriptions should ideally include information about the licensing, publication status, time span concerning data and publication, language/s, and quantity. Submission Abstracts should have a maximum of 500 words. They can submitted through easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bdw2016 Authors of data or data model descriptions will be contacted with a request to submit a data sample. The main goal of the workshop is to strengthen ties between researchers working on biographical data and to stimulate collaboration. We therefore aim to accept a high rate of contributions. Previously published results may also be submitted. Important dates: April 20 2016: Deadline for abstracts & data model descriptions April 30 2016: Notification of acceptance May 15 2016: Deadline for data sample and metadata July 11 2016: Workshop in Krakow For any questions please do not hesitate to contact the organizers: Antske Fokkens (antske.fokkens@vu.nl) Eveline Wandl-Vogt (Eveline.Wandl-Vogt@oeaw.ac.at) Thierry Declerck (declerck@dfki.de) Eero Hyvönen (eero.hyvonen@aalto.fi) Arno Bosse (arno.bosse@history.ox.ac.uk) Serge ter Braake (s.terbraake@uva.nl) Barbara McGillivray (barbara.mcgilli@gmail.com) --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 13:18:21 +0000 From: Andrew Prescott Subject: AHRC Commons On Midsummer’s Eve, hundreds of members of the AHRC Commons will gather at the first ever event of its kind - Common Ground: the first national gathering of the AHRC Commons

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2016 18:48:06 +0100 From: Ken Friedman Subject: FREE Academic Research Engine Dear All, Please let me direct your attention to a new research engine created by Michael Lissack at the Institute for Studies in Coherence and Emergence (ISCE). As well as working as Executive Director of ISCE, Michael Lissack is a professor at the Tongji University College of Design and Innovation. This tool is called Epi-Search. It works by placing blocks of text into the engine. Epi-Search then examines the blocks of text to suggest other useful sources. A description of Epi-Search appears below. You will find Epi-Search at URL: http://epi-search.com It is free for use, and worth a try. Best regards, Ken Friedman -- Epi-Search (http://epi-search.com) is the only research tool on the web which allows you to input up to 10,000 words as your search query (i.e. whole articles, papers, book chapters) Epi-search then runs a “find more like this search” to recommend books from the 5000 volume ISCE.edu library shows you how and why the results shown were recommended AND provides links to “good” related searches from 9 academic databases including: Google Scholar related academic results PhilPaper related philosophy results MIT CogNet related cognitive science results (citations only) CiteSeer related academic results DeepDyve related articles (abstracts only) JSTOR related resources (citations only) Taylor and Francis related resources (abstracts only) OUP Scholarship Online Epi-Search is a conceptual search tool that out performs traditional searching algorithms because it is able to make use of concepts that are fully expressed in other documents. Epi-search takes queries of 50 to 10,000 words and performs several functions: 1) a “find more like this” search identifies contextually related documents from the ISCE.edu library, 2) displays key concepts and terms from the query and presents them in word clouds, and 3) transforms extracted terms and concepts into “enhanced queries” that are sent directly into more than a dozen third-party online databases. Epi-search can play a key role in research where the use of whole paragraphs of text is more effective at finding contextually relevant material than the use of simple keywords and tags. Your students will benefit from knowing about and using this FREE tool. Use Cases: 1) Organizing thoughts for further reading Students can take free form notes and submit them as a whole to Epi-Search.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2016 11:06:10 +0000 From: Gabriel Egan Subject: Re: [Humanist] 29.802 AI and Go In-Reply-To: <20160323063959.6F5B36704@digitalhumanities.org> Ken Friedman's contribution to the debate about AlphaGo helpfully mentions the folk song about the competition between a human spike driver on the railroad and a steam-driven machine. This seems apposite to me because that physical activity isn't surrounded by the aura of consciousness that easily obscures what happens when machines compete with humans. The force of the analogy seems to me to work in the opposite direction to Friedman's claim about it. That is, although the machine lost on that occasion, I don't think anyone would claim that humans are better at driving spikes than machines are. We conceded that point long ago. And the man died, of course. Two anecdotal analogies also seem apposite to me: 1) In the mid-1980s I was witness to a heated debate at work between the middle-aged owner of a Porsche motor car and a young man who was keen on running. The matter of dispute was which of them, man or car, would be faster over a 100 meter run from a standing start. (Actually, it was what we used to call in England 'the hundred yard dash', but that's almost the same as 100 meters.) They decided to settle it by a race in the car park. It was a close thing, but the young man won by a whisker. But everyone present reflected that after 100 meters the young man was at the end of his endurance and about to flop, while the motor car was still in second gear and could have accelerated steadily over the next 500 meters if there were more room in the car park. 2) In 1993 two graduate students (myself and Peter White, who went on to manage EEBO for ProQuest) had a dispute about the speed and accuracy of a hand-made concordance to Shakespeare's works versus a brute-force search (on an Intel 80286-driven PC) of a collection of Shakespeare e-texts. Under the supervision of an impartial referee we ran a race over 10 quotations chosen at random, and White with his copy of Bartlett's concordance won every time. But as White himself reflected, the manual method wasn't ever going to get any faster, while with my next grant cheque I was planning to buy an Intel 80386-driven PC that would improve the machine's chances and so inevitably it would be the better method. Ultimately, no-one should care how the machine out-performs the human. Google Translate does not do translation the way a person would: it uses statistical inferences drawn from a vast body of existing translations (eg from the United Nations' large corpus of 6-language translations of its official documents). Human translators of languages should not draw much comfort from the fact that they are doing the job in a different way.

It is the first such address to the AAAI and so unsurprisingly takes a view on what such addresses are for -- then proceeds to his subject, knowledge and representation. There are bones to be picked with what he says about that, but I want to direct your attention to his brief comment on his sort of address: > Only two foci are really possible for a presidential address: the > state of the society or the state of the science. I believe the > latter to be the correct focus. AAAI itself, its nature and its > relationship to the larger society that surrounds it, are surely > important. However, our main business is to help AI become a > science--albeit a science with a strong engineering flavor. Presidential addresses to other academic associations and societies show the same tradition of reflecting on "the state of the science". Would it not be a good development were our associations to begin doing the same, these addresses published in one of our journals? Comments?

Trentin, Ca’ Dolfin, Dorsoduro 3825/e - 30123 Venezia CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS [Full announcement available on: http://www.aiucd2016.unive.it/ (work in progress) http://www.umanisticadigitale.it/edizioni-digitali-rappresentazione-interoperabilita-analisi-del-testo-e-infrastrutture-dedicate/] The AIUCD 2016 conference is devoted to the representation and study of the text under different points of view (resources, analysis, infrastructures), in order to bring together philologists, historians, digital humanists, computational linguists, logicians, computer scientists and software engineers and discuss about the text. It is time for research infrastructures to be able to guarantee interoperability and integration between the instruments for philological studies and the instruments for the analysis of large textual corpora, breaking down the rigid barriers between digital and computational philology on the one hand, and corpus linguistics on the other hand. As a consequence, without ruling out other possible topics belonging to the Digital Humanities area, we solicit your contributions (talks and posters) on these topics: _Representation and Interoperability_ * Which digital representation models prove most effective for overcoming the dichotomy between diplomatic and critical editions? * How to integrate multimedia products (such as 2D images, 3D models, audio, video) in the digital edition? * How to apply the methods of digital philology to multimedia products (such as film quotations, restored versions, musical variations, etc.)? * How to build a constructive dialogue between traditional philologists and digital philologists? _Text Analysis and Digital Objects Processing_ * Which extensions are needed, in order to apply the methods of computational linguistics to the study of variants? * How to create linguistic and textual analysis chains starting from texts that present variants? * How can computational linguistic tools be used to bring out regions of interest in large amounts of text on which to focus the attention? * What is the state of art for the analysis of digital objects? * How to assess the quality of analyses produce by means of the crowdsourcing method? _Infrastructures_ What can research infrastructures offer for the management of digital editions? How to conduct a study of requirements for infrastructures so that they are increasingly accessible to both digital humanists and traditional philologists? How can Digital humanities scholars be put in contact with the community of traditional scholars? _Communities and Collaboration_ * Which benefits do the interaction and the involvement of teachers, high school and university students in digital editions projects bring to research activities? * How can digital libraries collaborate to create, access, share and reuse digital resources? * How may teachers and students get interested in the dissemination of research results? * How do digital libraries contribute to the dissemination of research results? * How to prepare a shared syllabus, in order to train digital humanists to become aware of aware of the problems and potentialities of digital editions? * Which are the best practices to enroll a broader audience in the use of digital editions? *Abstract submission* The contributions (talks and posters), to be proposed in the form of an abstract of 1000 words maximum, in PDF format, must be loaded through the EasyChair Web site at this URL: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aiucd2016. Abstracts will be accepted in Italian or in English. The deadline for submission of abstracts to the Programme Committee is scheduled for midnight on May 31, 2016. Information on the acceptance will be communicated to the authors by June 30, 2016. *Abstract preparation and evaluation* The abstract should describe the objectives of the contribution, a brief reference to the state of the art, the methodology adopted, and - if possible - the results achieved or expected. It should also contain a bibliography. The call for papers welcome three types of contributions: (1) full paper, mainly to discuss innovative methodologies; (2) short paper, mainly to present accomplished research outputs; (3) poster, mainly to present early and innovative work in progress. The conference proposals will be selected through peer-reviewing by at least two Italian and/or foreign scholars expert in the fields of (Digital) Humanities and/or Computer Science. At the end of the evaluation process, the Scientific Committee may decide to move an accepted proposal to a different category. *Instructions for talks* Full papers will last 30 minutes (20-25 min + 5-10 min for questions). Short papers will last 20 minutes (15 min + 5 min for questions). The conference room is equipped with a computer, a projector, and internet connection. *Instructions for posters* Poster will be accepted in Italian or in English: * The best configuration of your poster is A1 vertical (841mm x 594mm). * Posters will be displayed in a dedicated space at the Conference venue. Display panels will be provided. Please bring your printed poster as we are unable to provide printing service. * Display panels for posters will be ready by Wednesday, 7th September 2016 at 10:00 am and all posters should be put up before 2:00 pm. * Personal laptop computers may be used at the poster display area. Should your presentation include a laptop, please inform the organizing committee on acceptance of your proposal. * Specific sessions will be scheduled in the conference programme for authors to provide the audience with a quick intro (max 2 minutes) to their poster. Further information will be progressively published on the conference site: http://www.aiucd2016.unive.it/.

My own goes back to the arrival in Toronto of an Ibycus machine, which David Packard designed and built to process the Greek texts of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. At the time I was working on words for "mirror" in Greek and Latin. Just before its arrival I had spent all day every day for two weeks in Robarts Library going through every Greek concordance I could find for occurrences of katoptron, esoptron and enoptron and recording the contexts. (A very kind person at the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae had copied out by hand and typed up all citations for the Latin "speculum" from the TLL card-index file.) When the machine arrived, I plugged it in, set it up, inserted the TLG CD (or CDs?) and did the searches. It took me 45 minutes to produce a much longer list than I had just finished by hand. QED. Again, what seems most interesting to me is the fact of this discussion. Why are we having it? (An answer would be, so that we can discover what it means to play a game, or proverbially, that it's not all about, or not at all about winning.) Why are we assuming that human intelligence is fixed in its power, focus, nature and so forth? True, we are unlikely to run much faster than we already do. But history and anthropology (and all the rest) have quite a lot to say about what humans are and have been capable of otherwise. And there is so much to learn from the *analogy* between the human digital artefact and the human.

I appreciate the distinction that has been drawn here between "playing Go" and "doing Go”, but I don’t see that it matters when we ponder the future impact of AI. If an AI can pass a wide-ranging Turing test someday, I’m not sure it matters that the process the AI uses to converse and interact is markedly different than the process used by the human brain to do the same thing. The output is what matters. Steve Doig ******************************************************** Stephen K.

Do machines, when they "read" texts, of human making or machine making, also display such interesting and illuminating differences? If you can chose the criteria by which winning is decided it's often easy to arrange for your favourite to come out on top: steam drill; Porsche motor car; brute-force search of quotes; Google translate (?) [1]; AlphaGo; etc. What I think is interesting about this game--of pick the criterion to get the wanted winner--is that usually the set of criteria used has to be small, sometimes just one. But it's the other game have I tried to point to that I think is the more interesting, and the more important here: identifying well what are the criteria to be properly used in judging between some human performance and some (sufficiently) comparable machine performance. Playing this game well is worth it, I think, because it tells us more about what being human is about. Not because we humans are somehow always better than the machines we build, we may not be, but because understanding ourselves better is something we are usefully curious about. Building machines has long been a way to do this studying of ourselves. AI is a science that embodies this practice: it seeks to understand intelligent behaviour by trying to create it and study it in the artificial. It is, to use Hebert Simon's name, a science of the artificial [2]. As they are shown to surpass even the best humans, we should delight in what our AI machines can do. Their real value, however, is in how their development can help us better understand ourselves. This is a job the Arts and Humanities should press, and join with, the scientists and engineers to do well. Best regards, Tim Notes [1] Gabriel: I suspect you've not used Google translate much to do real translation work. Even to non-professional translators it generally does a poor job. To compensate, one might feel, it often does a hilarious job--try it on idioms--but it doesn't appreciate the humor it generates. That _would_be_ impressive. Professional translator friends describe Google translate as producing (sometimes) useful approximate language-to-language text transformations. I suspect Edward Seidensticker, the translator of Yasunari Kawabata's "The Master of Go," would think the same, had he lived to see Google translate. And, if I had the money, I'd be willing to bet a large sum that no amount of statistical learning, run over any amounts of human made Japanese-to-English text translations, will ever build you a translation machine the like of Edward Seidensticker. Good human judgement is not of a statistical kind. Something that AlphaGo's win over Lee Sedol confirms.

I am looking for explanatory analogies spun by experts to explain their fields of expertise but which show their age. An obvious example is Johannes Kepler's early 17C "œCelestial machine, likened not to a divine organism, but rather to a clockwork", which takes no wit to see is not what we would say if asked to explain the cosmos. Analogies from any field (computing included) will do, any period. Many thanks.

Similarly, student members of Humanistica will be eligible to apply for ADHO early career bursaries. These actions have been taken as a goodwill gesture in the period leading up to Humanistica’s formal admission to ADHO as a Constituent Organisation, which was agreed in principle by the ADHO Steering Committee in its meetings last year in Sydney. In order to qualify for the 'ADHO Association Member' or 'ADHO Association Student Member' rate, a membership number is requested. Humanistica members or student members should enter the term 'humanistica'. (The names of those registered under this term will be checked by the officers of Humanistica to ensure proper use.) The deadline for bursary applications by student members of Humanistica will be extended to 30 March at midnight GMT. Applicants should follow the instructions to be found at http://dh2016.adho.org/bursaries/. Please note that the deadline shown there - 13 March - has now been extended for Humanistica members to 30 March, and also that Humanistica does not appear in the list shown of qualifying associations. You should nevertheless identify yourself as a Humanistica member.

The initiative is organised by the Göttingen Centre for Digital Humanities (GCDH) with the involvement of DARIAH.EU. The full programme of the 2016 Göttingen Dialog in Digital Humanities can be accessed here: http://etrap.gcdh.de/activities/gddh-2016/ The dialogs will take place every Monday (except for April 26th) from April 11th until mid July 2016 in the form of 90-minute seminars. Presentations will be 45 minutes long, followed by 45 minutes of discussion and student participation. We proudly announce that _Prof. Dr. Stefan Gradmann (KU Leuven)_ _will be giving the opening keynote on April 11th_. http://etrap.gcdh.de/activities/gddh-2016/ This year’s series promises to be even more diverse and interdisciplinary, so do come along if you’re in the Göttingen area. All seminars are free of charge.

In-Reply-To: <20160326072601.16FF76012@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Following my recent reply, I have found more information regarding the topic you suggested. William Paley (1743-1805) wrote the "Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity", which comprises the most notorious explanation of the so-called "watchmaker analogy", comparing the structure of living universe to a watch. It is intriguing his passage: "In crossing a heath, suppose I pitched my foot against a stone, and were asked how the stone came to be there; I might possibly answer that, for anything I knew to the contrary, it had lain there forever: nor would it perhaps be very easy to show the absurdity of this answer. But suppose I had found a watch upon the ground, and it should be inquired how the watch happened to be in that place; I should hardly think of the answer I had before given, that for anything I knew, the watch might have always been there [...]. There must have existed, at some time, and at some place or other, an artificer or artificers, who formed [the watch] for the purpose which we find it actually to answer, who comprehended its construction, and designed its use [...]. Every indication of contrivance, every manifestation of design, which existed in the watch, exists in the works of nature, with the difference, on the side of nature, of being greater or more, and that in a degree which exceeds all computation". The full text of the book is available here: https://archive.org/details/naturaltheologyo1802pale The idea of a watchmaker and intelligently-shaped universe was then criticized by Charles Darwin and other authors. I hope this may be useful for our discussion! Thank you again.

Dear colleagues, The French Senate is about to discuss a new law, called "Digital Law". Two articles of this law are very interesting for us. 1. The 17th article is allowing to any scholar to publish in open archive their article after 12 months of embargo maximum. 2. The 18th article is allowing to any scholar to do text and data mining to any online contents There is huge debate in France. Private publishers try to kill the 17th and 18th articles. Others, including a lot of HSS journals, researchers coming from all disciplines, try to obtain a postive vote for 17th and 18th articles. The #1 journal, Le Monde, published a text coming from major French researchers, Nobel Prizes, Fields Medals, Gold CNRS Medals, and so on. They decided to transform their text in an online petition : https://www.change.org/p/thierry-mandon-education-gouv-fr-pour-une-science-ouverte-%C3%A0-tous Unfortunately, it is in French. But it is clearly pro OA and pro TDM. If you agree with it, can you sign it ? It would be very very helpful. If you have any question, do not hesitate to send me an email.

Oxford Handbooks Online, http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com. Abstract and Keywords Contrary perhaps to expectation, Classical studies is at the vanguard of the latest technological developments for using digital tools and computational techniques in research. This article outlines its pioneering adoption of digital tools and methods, and investigates how the digital medium is helping to transform the study of Greek and Latin literature. It discusses the processes and consequences of digitization, explaining how technologies like multispectral imaging are increasing the textual corpus, while examining how annotation, engagement, and reuse are changing the way we think about “the text”. It also considers how the digital turn is reinvigorating textual analysis, by exploring the broader ecosystem, within which the digital text can now be studied, and which provides enriched contexts for understanding that are constantly shifting and expanding. Classical literature in the digital age has the potential to both challenge dominant modes of thinking about antiquity and disrupt traditional ways of doing research. -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London, and Digital Humanities Research Group, Western Sydney University _______________________________________________ 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 9803B678A; Tue, 29 Mar 2016 05:25:58 +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 E7D736761; Tue, 29 Mar 2016 05:25:56 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id AE7C1CE4; Tue, 29 Mar 2016 05:25:54 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160329032554.AE7C1CE4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2016 05:25:54 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.821 ageing analogies 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: <20160329032557.24602.4558@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 821.

It is from Mrs. W. H. Salter "The Evidence for Telepathy" in Essays in Honour of Gilbert Murray (1936). Hyperaesthesia and telepathy may occur simultaneously in such a way that it is difficult to disentangle them, just as two factors of Mendelian inheritance may be mingled in something which is the product of both; but for all the underlying factors remain fundamentally distinct. What are described as "factors" would now be called "genes". -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2016 14:23:55 +0000 (UTC) From: peter jones Subject: Re: 29.818 ageing analogies (Serres, rivers, Hodges' model) In-Reply-To: <20160327071701.AE1D0677A@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard and All, Michel Serres has written of time and fluid dynamics and within this the notion of age being 'downstream' the river arising from so many drops, flows, becks, springs, streams, riverlets, tributaries that become fewer.  http://www.stevenconnor.com/topologies/ Upstream the range of choices is huge as befits a young person - their life ahead of them, but also constrained by life - energies inexorable topological flow (downhill) water finding its own level. Life and death also as a cycle. As we get older there are fewer choices and our ability to adapt becomes fewer. Perhaps this might allude to the river delta which can be huge geographically (Ganges-Brahmaputra).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2016 23:57:06 +0200 From: Domenico Fiormonte Subject: search engine with(out) a difference? Dear Ken, you wrote that EPI Search "works by placing blocks of text into the engine", but either you and the info availabe on the ISCE web site do not specify in which language. So I assumed it would have worked (to an extent, of course) also with other European languages. However, the results I've got are quite discouraging. I've pasted in the query box three foreign paragraphs or fragments from different sources (a classical theater text in German, a scholarly essay in Spanish, an academic essay originally written in Italian and later translated in English): 1) the incipit of Bertolt Brecht, Leben Des Galilei (German original text); 2) the incipit of an essay written by a famous Italian scholar, Carlo Ginzuburg (Italian text); 3) the English translation of the same passage; 4) a passage taken from a famous essay written by the Spanish philospher Ortega y Gasset (Spanish text). As for (1) and (2), I got a "Runtime error page": Server Error in '/' Application. [...] [...] Results for (3) and (4) can be seen at the end of this message... (I've omitted Google results included in the EPI Search for Ginzburg (3). To be honest, what worries me more is not that EPI does not work with non-English texts, but the intrinsic (and well-known) bias of its sources: "Epi-search then runs a 'find more like this search' to recommend books from the 5000 volume ISCE.edu library shows you how and why the results shown were recommended AND provides links to 'good' related searches from 9 academic databases including: [...]". I'm not sure what you mean here for "good searches", but we know that both Thompson Reuters Web of Knowledge and Scopus shape institutional and individual rankings in the global academic world, reinforcing the _de facto_ dominance of the English language within the sciences, social sciences, arts and the humanities (thanks to Ernesto Priego for pointing me to this resource: http://geography.oii.ox.ac.uk/?page=geographic-knowledge-freebase). This situation is not just a source of perpetual frustration for non English-speakers who struggle -- especially in the Social Sciences and the Humanities -- for expressing their ideas on cultural objects and phenomena which are certainly not linguistically "neutral", but constitutes the biggest threat to cultural and scientific diversity. I'd lke to remember that cultural-linguistic diversity and variation are not a luxury we can't just afford, but the condition for the existence of what we call "culture" on this planet. (Well, and if you are still uncertain, you should know that multiligualism is good for your brain: http://aclc.uva.nl/news-and-events/events/content2/lectures/2016/05/13-smart-lecture.html ) While I realize that these are all huge issues that cannot be discussed on this list, I would like to add that it should be our duty as scholars of all disciplines to make explicit and transparent our choices at all levels, including (and perhaps especially) at the level of software: the cultural and linguistic hegemony of English databases is supported and deployed by related softwares, algorithms, and encodings. Of course I think that ISCE is doing a great job in making available for free part of its library, and the EPI search engine can be a very useful tool. The problem relies in *what* we are representing, and *how* we are doing it. It is our responsability to preserve cultural diversity, and even relatively small players can make a difference by building more inclusive "representations". Or is it the destiny of all human culture produced/processed in a language different from English to disappear under obscure "runtime errors"?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2016 01:17:06 -0400 From: Elisa Beshero-Bondar Subject: Update Re: Digital Mitford Coding School, June 25-27, 2016 Dear list members, I write with updated information on this summer's Digital MItford Coding School. We are extending the due date for applications: Those interested should write to me at* ebb8 at pitt.edu http://pitt.edu * *by Monday April 11, 2016 *indicating your interest (with registration fees due by mail by May 16). Based on the skills and interests of incoming applications thus far, *we invite applicants to indicate if they seek XSLT and XQuery training and experience*, and we will accommodate those interested. Among topics we routinely cover are regular expression matching an up-conversion to XML and TEI, as well as XPath, building on a module of work with TEI for manuscript correspondence. We are well prepared to teach both introductory and advanced coding (see my range of teaching materials at http://newtfire.org/dh/), and we plan a *"Part 2" workshop experience* for interested participants from last year and any who seek some advanced work building on applications of XPath. Here is our updated announcement, with more details on the Digital Mitford project and the Coding School. We invite you to join members of the Digital Mitford project team from *Saturday June 25 through Monday June 27, 2016* for the Fourth Annual Workshop Series and Coding School, hosted by the newly established Center for the Digital Text at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. As featured on its public website, http://digitalmitford.org, the Digital Mitford project has two major purposes: 1. to produce the first comprehensive scholarly edition of the works and letters of Mary Russell Mitford, and 2. to share knowledge of TEI XML and related humanities computing practices with all serious scholars interested in contributing to the project. Our editing team meets face-to-face to brush up on project methods and make major decisions, and we invite participants and prospective new editors to learn our methods and think with us about project management challenges during the Coding School. Please join us if you want to learn text encoding methods and their applications in the Digital Humanities through hands-on participation in a large-scale digital archive project. We will orient you to coding by giving you hands-on experience with literary and historical documents, from the careful encoding of markings on manuscript material to autotagging enormous and complicated texts with regular expression matching. And we invite you to think with us about how best to build a site interface and visualizations to help explore the data we are gathering on nineteenth-century networks of people, places, and texts. Our workshops are held at the lovely Pitt-Greensburg http://greensburg.pitt.edu campus, recently named one of the five most scenic college campuses near Pittsburgh . This year’s Coding School is part of a series of Digital Humanities events in the Pittsburgh area, as we are coordinating it to follow immediately after the Keystone DH Conference http://keystonedh.network/2016/ (from June 22-24) in Pittsburgh. Our editors will convene in the days preceding the conference, and the Coding School begins immediately afterwards. We expect people to arrive on Friday afternoon or evening June 24 and depart on Tuesday morning June 28, with our Coding School in session from Saturday morning June 25 through Monday afternoon June 27. Who participates? 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 (including repeat visitors who wish to review and continue more advanced work). What we teach and share: - Discussion of *best practices* for preparing digital scholarly editions as digital databases - *Textual scholarship and paleography* (working primarily with 19th-century manuscript correspondence) - Participation in an active* “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 http://www.tei-c.org/index.xml encoding* and best practices for* project sustainability and longevity* - Autotagging and* regular expression matching* to prepare digital texts - Hands-on experience with *XPath, code schemas, XSLT, and an XML database* - Perspective on *project management* and* interface development* as we work on developing our site interface - Individual and Group Instruction, working with our Explanatory Guides and Resources http://newtfire.org/dh , organized and led by an elected member of the TEI Technical Council http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/ . - Based on the applications we are receiving so far,* we plan to offer a Part 2 workshop to follow on this one*, to give participants more advanced experience with XPath, XSLT, and XQuery. See my instructional materials http://newtfire.org/dh/ for a range of coding I am prepared to teach. How to register: Send me an e-mail (at *ebb8 at pitt.edu http://pitt.edu *) *by Monday April 11, 2016*, indicating your interest in the Digital Mitford Coding School. A registration fee is required of all who are not actively affiliated as editors with the project: 1. Students, Adjunct Instructors, or Independent Scholars: *$180* 2. Full-Time Faculty Members and Librarians: *$300* All registration fees are to be paid by check to the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg, and are *due by mail by May 16, 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.) Budgeting for the June 2016 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, the Latrobe regional 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. Thanks, everyone, for reading and sharing with interested parties! We look forward to seeing many new and familiar faces at beautiful Pitt-Greensburg in June. Please feel free to write me with any questions in advance of our application due date of *Monday, April 11*.

The richness and vastness of these data are creating unprecedented research opportunities in a number of fields including urban studies, geography, economics, finance, entertainment, and social science, as well as physics, biology and genetics, public health and many other smart devices. In addition to data, text and machine mining research, businesses and policy makers have seized on deep learning technologies to support their decisions and proper growing smart application needs. As businesses build out emerging hardware and software infrastructure, it becomes increasingly important to anticipate technical and practical challenges and to identify best practices learned through experience in this research area. Deep learning employs software tools from advanced analytics disciplines such as data mining, predictive analytics, text and machine learning based on a set of algorithms that attempt to model high-level abstractions in data by using multiple processing layers with complex structures or non-linear transformations. At the same time, the processing and analysis of deep learning applications present methodological and technological challenges. Further deep learning applications are advantaged by a rise in sensing technologies as witnessed in both the number of sensors and the rich diversity of sensors ranging from cell phones, personal computers, and health tracking appliances to Internet of Things (IoT) technologies designed to give contextual, semantic data to entities in an ubiquitous environment that previously could not contribute intelligence to key decisions and smart devices. Recently deep learning technologies have been applied into toy computing. Toy computing is a recently developing concept which transcends the traditional toy into a new area of computer research using ubiquitous technologies. A toy in this context can be effectively considered a computing device or peripheral called Smart Toys. We invite research and industry papers related to these specific challenges and others that are driving innovation in deep learning, ubiquitous and toy computing. The goal of this minitrack is to present both novel and industrial solutions to challenging technical issues as well as compelling smart application use cases. This minitrack will share related practical experiences to benefit the reader, and will provide clear proof that deep learning technologies are playing an ever-increasing important and critical role in supporting ubiquitous and toy computing applications - a new cross-discipline research topic in computer science, decision science, and information systems. With a general focus on deep learning, ubiquitous and toy computing, this minitrack covers related topics in deep learning, ubiquitous and toy computing such as: * Data Modeling and Implementation * Analytics and Algorithms * Business Models * Delivery, Deployment and Maintenance * Real-time Processing Technologies and Online Transactions * Conceptual and Technical Architecture * Visualization Technologies * Modeling and Implementation * Security, Privacy and Trust * Industry Standards and Solution Stacks * Provenance Tracking Frameworks and Tools * Software Repositories * Organizations Best Practices * Smart Toys * Case Studies (e.g., smart toys, healthcare, financial, aviation, etc.) Extended versions of accepted papers will be invited for submission by specific journal special issues. Further details will be announced soon. Deadline for authors to submit papers: *** June 15, 2016 (11:59 PM, Hawaii time) *** Submission link: http://www.hicss.org/#!authors/ccjp Minitrack Chairs: Patrick C. K.

The International Workshop on Social Media Mining and Analysis (SMMA-2016) with the IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC 2016) ================================================================ International Workshop on Social Media Mining and Analysis (SMMA-2016) in Conjunction with the 13th IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC 2016) 18-21 July 2016, Toulouse, France http://smma2016.weebly.com Submission Deadline: April 15, 2016 Author Notification: May 6, 2016 Final Manuscript Due: May 20, 2016 ================================================================ Introduction: The emergence of social networks has led to a significant production of user-generated content which consequently gave rise to fields such as social media analytics and social computing . Social networks also gave rise to the new phenomena called “social media” which empowered the users towards citizen journalism or the like where users can choose to act as the content providers instead of the more traditional content consumers. Social networking websites such as Facebook, Google+, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, Weibo and so on are a few examples of such empowerment. Furthermore, these social media platforms provide new opportunities to explore user behavior which could benefit various applications related to economy, marketing, education, business, medicine, etc. Social Media Mining is the process of representing, analyzing, and extracting actionable patterns from large-scale social media data. SMMA-2016 is the next edition of SMMA-2015 (Liverpool, UK) and aims to discuss the theories and methodologies from different disciplines such as computer science, information retrieval, artificial intelligence, data mining, machine learning, ubiquitous computing, social network analysis, computational journalism, network science, sociology, data science, and statistics in order to provide conceptual insights on mining social media data. We invite researchers and practitioners from aforementioned communities to share their ideas, innovations, research achievements and solutions in fostering the advancement of intelligent data analytics and management of social media data. We solicit original, unpublished, and innovative research work on applying any intelligent technologies and methods to all aspects around the theme of this workshop. The workshop is co-located with UIC 2016, the 13th IEEE International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Scope and Topics: Fundamentals of social computing Statistical modeling of large networks Community discovery and analysis in large-scale social networks Large-scale graph algorithms for social network analysis Reputation, trust, privacy and security in social networks Expert systems and decision-making for social media data Recommendation systems and marketing Methods for tie strength or link prediction Methods for extracting and understanding user and group behavior Crowdsourcing and collective intelligence Other issues related to various social computing applications and case studies. [...] The materials presented in the papers should not be published or under submission elsewhere. Once accepted, the paper will be included into the IEEE conference proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one of the authors of any accepted paper is requested to register the paper at the conference. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2016 18:37:52 +0100 From: "Alexander O'Connor" Subject: Call for Poster Abstracts- ‘Interdisciplinarity for Impact’ Workshop 1st of June 2016 In-Reply-To: <1459344734801.81046@uoit.ca> Call for Poster Abstracts- ‘Interdisciplinarity for Impact’ Workshop 1st of June 2016 Trinity College Dublin and Dublin City University are organising a 1 day workshop which will examine how interdisciplinary research can enable researchers to achieve deeper impact for their work.

Shannon, "The Bandwagon". IEEE Transactions -- Information Theory 2.1 (1956): 3. The attachment to this brief article, to which a link is included below, I find interesting and instructive for the parallels it suggests to digital humanities. Shannon begins, > Information theory has, in the last few years, become something > of a scientific bandwagon. He then goes on to make these two recommendations: > In the first place workers in other fields should realise that the > basic results of the subject are aimed in a very specific direction, > a direction that is not necessarily relevant to [other fields]. I > personally believe that many of the concepts... will prove useful in > these other fields... but the establishing of such applications is > not a trivial matter... but rather the slow tedious process of > hypothesis and experimental verification.... > > Secondly, we must keep our own house in first class order. The > subject... has certainly been sold, if not oversold. We should now > turn our attention to the business of research and development at the > highest scientific plane we can maintain. Research rather than > exposition is the keynote, and our critical thresholds should be > raised. Authors should submit only their best efforts, and these only > after careful criticism by themselves and their colleagues. Only by > maintaining a thoroughly scientific attitude can we achieve real > progress... and consolidate our present position. Comments?

This view of people as always connected through physical and conceptual networks along which resources, information, and disease flow, requires archaeologists and historians to use new methods to understand how these networks form, function, and change over time. The Connected Past provides a constructive methodological and theoretical critique of the growth in research applying network perspectives in archaeology and history, and considers the unique challenges presented by datasets in these disciplines, including the fragmentary and material nature of such data and the functioning and change of social processes over long timespans. An international and multidisciplinary range of scholars debate both the rationale and practicalities of applying network methodologies, addressing the merits and drawbacks of specific techniques of analysis for a range of datasets and research questions, and demonstrating their approaches with concrete case studies and detailed illustrations. As well as revealing the valuable contributions archaeologists and historians can make to network science, the volume represents a crucial step towards the development of best practice in the field, especially in exploring the interactions between social and material elements of networks, and long-term network evolution.

The abstract of the symposium is as follows: At the turn of the twentieth century, bibliography of history of science was a major enterprise and several large and distinguished projects were begun at that time. The drive to create bibliography was closely tied to the rise of the discipline of history of science, technology, and medicine. One hundred years later, the world of information has changed dramatically as we have moved into a new networked world. New bibliographical and reference tools have emerged to meet new needs of a robust and healthy scholarly enterprise. These new tools have transformed the expectations and nature of scholarship. This session features the work of historians who have run or designed digitally based scholarly reference resources and of librarians and archivists who study and learn to navigate these resources. The authors of the papers have been asked to focus on how these new digital projects have attempted to addressed the current needs of scholars, librarians, and archivists: How successful have they been? Where have they not lived up to expectations? What are the most pressing needs for the next decade? We are especially interested in understanding the elements of reference that are specific to our discipline. What kinds of resources do historians of science and technology need to access in order to produce good work? Stephen P.

Number and focus of positions dependent on project requirements and suitable team-focused applicants. Timeframes negotiable. Salary commensurate with experience and available funding. Wai-te-ata Press at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand is looking for dynamic, agile, and innovative programming historians to collaborate in a Royal Society / Marsden-funded digital history project (2015-2018) entitled Personal Geographies and Global Networks: William Colenso and the Victorian Republic of Letters. Requisite skills include facility in programming languages and environments, such as Python and R, proven expertise in one or more of text mining, social network analysis, topic modelling, geospatial visualisation, sonification, as well as familiarity with complex systems approaches, macroscopes and digital history methodologies. Opportunities for teaching and capability building are also available. William Colenso (1811-1899) was one of the most accomplished polymaths of Victorian New Zealand, yet his contributions to Maori, Pakeha and imperial history have been under-estimated, dismissed, or virtually forgotten. This project features new digital humanities approaches and advanced computational science tools used to identify and analyse Colenso's local and international intellectual, scientific, linguistic, religious, and political networks using his extensive published writings and voluminous letter correspondence. Text mining, social network analysis, topic modelling, and geospatial visualisation offer new insights into Colenso's multi-facetted identity as well as his pivotal role in a global system of information exchange and knowledge production. For further information about the project, please consult: http://www.victoria.ac.nz/wtapress/research/the-colenso-project http://colensoandtherepublicofletters.weebly.com/about.html Please send a one-page Expression of Interest, 2-3 page CV including links to recent digital projects, and the names of three references in a single .PDF file to: Dr Sydney J Shep, Reader in Book History The Printer, Wai-te-ata Press Victoria University of Wellington, NZ Sydney.shep@vuw.ac.nz EOIs will be reviewed as they are received. Invitations to submit a fuller application will include an opportunity to test drive our data. _______________________________________________ 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 E54892501; Tue, 5 Apr 2016 07:22:27 +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 E704F2506; Tue, 5 Apr 2016 07:22:25 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3616F2501; Tue, 5 Apr 2016 07:22:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160405052223.3616F2501@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 07:22:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.838 proposals to HathiTrust?

It brings together humanists, technologists, educators, and learners to share, build, and make together around the *theme of scale*. Spread over two days to enable a fruitful balance of doing and talking, of teaching and demonstrating, of hacking and yacking, this delegate-led unconference throws open the Sussex Humanities Lab to stimulate novel collaborations that reinvent the humanities, one bit at a time. The event will focus on *hands-on sessions* that explore methods, practice, and strategies for working with humanities data at scale, be that close up or at a distance; but in reality, anything that isn’t a standard talk goes! *Sessions proposed thus far can be found at this.thatcamp.org/category/session-proposals/ http://this.thatcamp.org/category/session-proposals/ *. As participants, you will pick on the first day when, where, and whether the sessions proposed take place. In addition to the unconference elements, the event will feature a keynote http://this.thatcamp.org/keynote/ from Melodee Beals http://this.thatcamp.org/profile/m-h-beals/ (Loughborough) entitled ‘A Series of Small Things: The Case Study in the Age of Big Data’. Those interested in joining us should register at this.thatcamp.org/register/. Please note that spaces are limited so registration is vital.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2016 17:54:18 +0100 From: Susan Schreibman Subject: MA and MSC in DH at Maynooth University An Foras Feasa at Maynooth University, Ireland, is delighted to announce two Masters degree programmes in digital humanities for the 2016-17 academic year. More information is at https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/foras-feasa/study-with-us The MA in Digital Humanities is in its 7th year, making it the oldest Masters in Digital Humanities in Ireland and one of the oldest in the world. This one year practice-based MA is a transformative degree covering areas such as, digital scholarly editing, data modelling, designing and delivering photographic archives, computational imaging, 3D visualisation, computer graphic simulations, and digital heritage. Most classes have both practical and theoretical components and students learn a variety of technical skills including text encoding (XML/TEI/XSLT), linked data, Java, photogrammetry, reflectance transformation imaging, 3D scanning, hyperspectral imaging, virtual and augmented reality, and 3D modelling. In 2016-17 AFF, in conjunction with The National Centre for Geocomputation we will offer an MSc in Spatial eHumanities. This programme takes an interdisciplinary approach to focus on spatio-temporal concepts, methods, and tools in the development of computational and visual frameworks from which to explore the past and better understand our present. It combines geocomputation, cultural heritage, archaeology, design, and humanities/arts research, providing both a historical background and theoretical grounding to the field, while enabling students to develop solid skills in contemporary digital methods and technologies, including Geographic Information Systems and 3D computer graphics modelling, simulation, and animation. Both Masters offer a practicum in the spring semester with a cultural heritage institution, in the private sector, or with a digital humanities project in which students get project-based real-world experience and develop management skills. Both Masters are practice-based with a small number of students per course, thus allowing for 1:1 mentoring in practicums and thesis supervision. These courses are ideal for students wishing to upskill in digital technologies bringing new methods, technologies, and theoretical approaches to humanities and cultural heritage. Past students are employed in a variety of sectors, including libraries, archives, digital humanities projects, cultural heritage institutions, and the private sector.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2016 21:08:29 -0400 From: whitney trettien Subject: CFP: thresholds, a creative/critical digital journal CFP: Thresholds: Extraneous thresholds http://openthresholds.org/ is a new digital journal that bears witness to the dynamic processes that constitute reading and writing by way of a split-screen architecture. On the left side of the screen, we publish short essays (essayer -- trial, attempt, test). The right side of the screen is populated by the various text fragments, images, audio, and video clips that inspired the author and propelled the corresponding work. Unlike a footnote or endnote, these fragments are not explicitly harnessed to the essay's main body; they do not rustle the reader toward a specific interpretative conclusion. Instead, they invite the reader to engage in a series of generative traversals across the central threshold. In this way, thresholds models criticism as a restless and unruly venture that takes place in the spaces between readers, writers, and texts. The debut issue of thresholds will focus on the theme of the extraneous. We seek manuscripts that deal with the extra, the foreign, or the strange from any angle. We welcome contributions that combine the creative and critical in their approach, and are eager to consider work that is experimental in both content and form. Final submissions will be comprised of a short piece (up to 7000 words) accompanied by a series of fragments. Please submit 400-word abstracts and a brief bio to thresholdsjournal@gmail.com no later than May 15, 2016. Final essays will be due July 31, 2016. The platform for thresholds is currently under development.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2016 23:54:34 +0100 From: Gabriele Salciute-Civiliene Subject: Lecture on Analogue Computing - 12 April 2016 Gunnery Control Computing at the Battle of Jutland, 1916 Tuesday 12 April 2016, 6.30pm for 7.00pm - 8.30pm Wallace Lecture Theatre, Wallace Building, Singleton Park Campus, Swansea University SA2 8PP Speaker: Derek Smith The first large real-time computing systems ever constructed were those aboard the capital ships of the Royal Navy and Kaiserliche Marine in the run-up to the First World War. These systems were complex integrations of sensors, human observation, and analog computation, interconnected by a vulnerable network of voice tube, telephone, and telegraphy channels. At the centre of the respective systems were the highly secret Fire Control Computers, or "clocks". The technology was tested - in some cases to destruction - in the 48 hours of the Battle of Jutland, 30th May-1st June 1916. This talk will look (a) at the development of these systems during the two decades prior to the battle and (b) at their performance under fire. [Gunnery (fire-control) systems are historically of great importance in the development of cybernetics, hence cognitive science, computer science and artificial intelligence. Most of the attention in this area goes to the work on anti-aircraft predictors during World War II, comparatively little on prior developments, for which see David Mindell, Between Human and Machine: Feedback, Control and Computing before Cybernetics (Johns Hopkins, 2002). So this lecture is indeed welcome. --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, 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 36ED46800; Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:28:41 +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 4B72867F9; Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:28:40 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E68D12E0A; Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:28:35 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160410072835.E68D12E0A@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2016 09:28:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.849 early analogue 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: <20160410072840.12805.97958@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 849.

Probably Not in Your Lifetime Dear Colleagues, Related to the earlier discussion on AlphaGo, I am sending the link to an article in the New York Times, "When Is the Singularity? Probably Not in Your Lifetime.” http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/07/science/artificial-intelligence-when-is-the-singularity.html Opening section: —snip— Misconception: Computers will outstrip human capabilities within many of our lifetimes. Actually: You won’t be obsolete for a long time, if ever, most researchers say. In March when Alphago, the Go-playing software program designed by Google’s DeepMind subsidiary defeated Lee Se-dol, the human Go champion, some in Silicon Valley proclaimed the event as a precursor of the imminent arrival of genuine thinking machines. The achievement was rooted in recent advances in pattern recognition technologies that have also yielded impressive results in speech recognition, computer vision and machine learning. The progress in artificial intelligence has become a flash point for converging fears that we feel about the smart machines that are increasingly surrounding us. However, most artificial intelligence researchers still discount the idea of an “intelligence explosion.” —snip— Ken Friedman Ken Friedman, PhD, DSc (hc), FDRS | Editor-in-Chief | 设计 She Ji.

As ESU DH C & T is a member of the International Digital Humanities Training Network courses taken at the Summer University are eligible for transfer credit towards the University of Victoria Graduate Certificate in DH (see http://www.uvic.ca/humanities/english/graduate/graduate-certificates/dhum-certificate/index.php). The Summer University 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 - Compilation, Annotation und Analysis of Written Text Corpora. Introduction to Methods and Tools - Comparing Corpora - Digital Editions and Editorial Theory: Historical Texts and Documents - Searching Linguistic Patterns in Large Text Corpora for Digital Humanities Research - Lexicometric text analysis using CLARIN-D Webservices and R - Stylometry - Spoken Language and Multimodal Corpora - Digital Lexica, Terminological Databases and Encyclopaedias: Contents, Structures and Formats - Drupal Does Data. Drupal for the Data-driven Humanities - Exploring art and technology within contemporary network culture. A close look at net art, digital art curation and its impact on the culture heritage sector - From Text to Map. Modeling Historical Humanities Data in Mapping Environments - Project Management - Data management for the humanities: from data warehousing to legal and ethical implication - Digital Research Infrastructures in the Humanities: How to Use, Build and Maintain Them Workshops are normally structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. For more information see: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/621 Thanks to our sponsors, the following support for participants of the Summer University is available (see: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/623): - The German Accademic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers very generous support to up to 17 alumni / alumnae of German universities. Also former Erasmus-students or student / researchers of Universities of Applied Science, Art or Music Schools qualify as alumni / alumnae as long as they have spent altogether 3 months of their life at academic institutions in Germany, - The Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL) at the University of Victoria, in conjunction with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), will sponsor up to 5 fellowships for tuition or travel available to Canadian and international graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, - CLARIN-D will sponsor a number of fellowships for participants of the Summer University. The fellowship will cover the tuition fees, - The University of Leipzig through its International Centre makes available up to 10 bursaries for members of its Eastern European partner universities. Should funds allow there will be also 1-2 bursaries for members of the scientific staff from its non-European partner universities. 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, languages 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). For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities "Culture & Technology": http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available.

Held in conjunction with Digital Humanities 2016,12-16 July, Krakow, Poland. Date: 11 July 2016 There is an abundance of biographical information online that begs to be analyzed with computational methods. Resources like Wiki- and DBpedia, Biographical Dictionaries, Historical Databases, Newsfeeds, Facebook and Twitter all provide information on individual’s lives. ‘Biographical data’ is of particular interest to computer scientists, because it is usually clear and well structured, since all people share common attributes such as place of birth, place of residence, parents, et cetera. The analysis of `biographical data' with new techniques is a topic that is finding strong interest in research groups all over the world, demonstrated most recently by the first conference on Biographical Data, organized in Amsterdam in 2015. This conference brought researchers from various domains together including historians, librarians, computer scientists, data scientists, and computational linguists. The purpose of this workshop is to take a next step in strengthening the community working with digital biographical data by exploring possibilities of turning shared interest into new international collaborations. A central theme in this next step will be connecting and linking data. This workshop brings together researchers from various domains working on biographical data. In addition to sharing latest progress, it has the specific aim to initiate efforts to share (knowledge about) data and data models. The workshop directly contributes to the efforts of the DARIAH workgroup on biographical data and aims to involve new researchers in this collaboration. A call for organization will go out for the Biographical Data in a Digital World Conference in 2017 (2015 conference: http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1399/). We explicitly invite researchers to the workshop who work with biographical data for historical research or data analysis (e.g. historians, computational linguists, visualization experts) and are thus already very familiar with models for biographical data, but are not necessarily involved in designing them. This perspective is of great value during discussions on sharing and modeling data and can provide insights into what kind of data models are practical to work with or which links between various datasets are most valuable for research. These insights can in turn help to identify logical and practical first steps towards increasing international collaboration. Call for abstracts The workshop consists of two main components and, accordingly, we solicit two kinds of contributions: 1. Digital research with biographical data We invite researchers to submit abstracts on their research on biographical data. The goal of the poster session is to share latest work on biographical data and create opportunities for collaboration, in particular, between end users (researchers interested in working with biographical data) and providers (data providers and researchers working on tools and data models). Accepted contributions will be presented as posters during the workshop. 2. Biographical data and data models We invite researchers who have biographical data or are working on models for biographical data to submit a description of their data or data model as well as a sample of their data or an example data entry to illustrate the data model. Accepted contributions will be included in the comparative study of data representation and data models. Topics Topics which may be addressed in the poster session include, but certainly are not limited to: --Mining biographies for structured information --Biographies and linked data --Using biographical information for quantitative analyses --The canonization of people and events in history --The use or uselessness of big data for biographical research --Visualizing biographical data --Biographical Dictionaries --Dealing with biographical data in heterogeneous datasets --Practices in digitizing and converting biographical data to a software interpretable format --Automatic biography generation --Biographies across countries and cultures --Standards, vocabularies and best practices for the encoding and processing of biographical data Data and data model descriptions should ideally include information about the licensing, publication status, time span concerning data and publication, language/s, and quantity. Submission Abstracts should have a maximum of 500 words. They can submitted through easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=bdw2016 Authors of data or data model descriptions will be contacted with a request to submit a data sample. The main goal of the workshop is to strengthen ties between researchers working on biographical data and to stimulate collaboration. We therefore aim to accept a high rate of contributions. Previously published results may also be submitted.

Applications are now open for an expert workshop to be held in Kraków, Poland, on 12 July 2016, 9:30am - 4:00pm, as part of the Digital Humanities 2016 conference (http://dh2016.adho.org/). [UPDATE: Despite the "sold out" message on the DH2016 registration page, there are currently 18 open positions for the workshop. We apologize for the mis-communication.] We welcome applications from all, but please note that we will aim balance expertise, disciplinary backgrounds, experience with different types of projects, and institutional and project affiliations when finalising our list of participants. This workshop is not suitable for beginners. Participants should have some practical knowledge of running crowdsourcing projects or expertise in human computation, machine learning or other relevant topics. You can apply to attend at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1l05Rba3EqMyy-X4UVmU9z7hQ-jlK2x2kLGvNtJfgtgQ/viewform Beyond The Basics: What Next For Crowdsourcing? Crowdsourcing - asking the public to help with inherently rewarding tasks that contribute to a shared, significant goal or research interest related to cultural heritage collections or knowledge - is reasonably well established in the humanities and cultural heritage sector. The success of projects such as Transcribe Bentham, Old Weather and the Smithsonian Transcription Center in processing content and engaging participants, and the subsequent development of crowdsourcing platforms that make launching a project easier, have increased interest in this area. While emerging best practices have been documented in a growing body of scholarship, including a recent report from the Crowd Consortium for Libraries and Archives symposium, this workshop looks to the next 5 - 10 years of crowdsourcing in the humanities, the sciences and in cultural heritage. The workshop will gather international experts and senior project staff to document the lessons to be learnt from projects to date and to discuss issues we expect to be important in the future. Topics for discussion will be grouped by participants in an unconference-style opening session in which topics are proposed and voted on by participants. They are likely to include the following: Public humanities, education and audiences: - The use of crowdsourcing in formal education - Designing research questions that encourage participation and create space for informal education, the social production of knowledge and collaborative problem solving - The intersection of crowdsourcing, public humanities and engagement with cultural heritage and academic goals - Resolving tensions between encouraging participants to follow opportunities for informal learning and skills development, and focusing on project productivity Organisational and project management issues: - Collaborative partnerships/funding to develop community platform(s) based on open source software - The state of focused research into interface design, engagement methods, and end-user impact studies - Design tensions between techniques that can improve the productivity of projects (such as handwritten text recognition and algorithmic classification) and optimising the user experience - Workflows for crowdsourced data and the ingestion of crowdsourced data into collections management systems - Challenges to institutional and expert authority - The compromises, pros and cons involved in specifying and selecting crowdsourcing software and platforms - The impact of crowdsourcing on organisational structures and resources - Inter-institutional cooperation or competition for crowdsourcing participants Future challenges: - The integration of machine learning and other computational techniques with human computation - Lessons to be learnt from the long histories of grassroots and community history projects - Sharing lessons learnt and planning peer outreach to ensure that academics and cultural heritage professionals can benefit from collective best practice - The ethics of new and emerging forms of crowdsourcing The timetable will include a brief round of introductions, a shared agenda-setting exercise, four or so discussion sessions, and a final session for closing remarks and to agree next steps. The discussion and emergent guidelines documented during the workshop would help future projects benefit from the collective experiences of participants. Outcomes from the workshop might include a whitepaper and/or the further development of or support for a peer network for humanities crowdsourcing. The workshop is organised by Mia Ridge (British Library), Meghan Ferriter (Smithsonian Transcription Centre), Christy Henshaw (Wellcome Library) and Ben Brumfield (FromThePage). We anticipate accepting 30 participants.

I suspect that the origins of this are obscure and very old, though I see that some claim it for the American sportswriter Henry Grantland Rice. Clearly if the contest is to outrun a tiger, winning is rather more important than how you sprint. But in the case of AI vs Go or vs any other such activity, I object strenuously to the idea that how a machine gets to the goal does not matter. I'd argue that translating what we want into a machine's strategy for getting it is a primary source of epistemological gold. It's the "programming imagination" that Franco Moretti writes about in the latest of the Stanford Literary Lab pamphlets, http://litlab.stanford.edu/LiteraryLabPamphlet12.pdf. And why is it that we dream of this singularity? Do we really want to reach the end of it all? Comments?

The deadline for paper and poster submissions is May 15. Submit abstracts (no longer than 300 words) via ConfTool at https://www.conftool.net/tei2016/ , where you will find more precise instructions. If you submit your proposal well before the deadline you do us and yourself a favour. The Program Committee will notify you of its decisions no later than June 17. Whatever the theme of a conference, people will submit what they are interested in: the conference will be what you want to make of it. We may want to give it a name once we know what the program looks like. In the meantime we will give equal attention to any submission plausibly related to the Text Encoding Initiative. We will highlight the work of the Technical Council at this conference and have a plenary session exploring questions the council and membership may have for each other. "Whither TEI?" is a possible name for that particular session. A skeletal version of the conference site is now up at http://tei2016.acdh.oeaw.ac.at and will acquire more flesh as the weeks go by.

The Humanities and Digital Scholarship Librarian will support and collaborate with students and faculty doing research in history and other selected humanities disciplines. The successful candidate will engage with a dynamic community in which traditional research methods co-exist and integrate with highly innovative digital scholarship and pedagogies. Teaching experience, digital project skills, and expertise in humanities research methods and resources are key qualifications. Advancing the capacity of the MIT Libraries to collaborate on digital scholarship projects is central to the position. To support the MIT community’s current needs, the librarian in this position will collaborate with departments in the MIT Libraries ranging from Data and Specialized Services to Institute Archives and Special Collections, and work on project teams with colleagues in new positions focused on digital scholarship.

(And you can download the whole thing if you want.) At Penn's WORD LAB, we worked through an example of using the API to harvest some specific fields from the database using Python as our first programming tutorial. It does require reading ability of Chinese. You can check out and query the database here: http://isites.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do?keyword=k16229 There are also some neat visualizations and more information on the site, which is in English. I'm not sure how widely known it is outside of the Chinese history community, so I thought I'd share it!

Panels at the 2017 meeting (30 March - 1 April, Chicago) will continue to explore the contributions made by new and emerging methodologies and the projects that employ them, both in-person at the conference and online via individual and group virtual presentations. We welcome proposals for in-person and online papers, panels, and or poster / demonstration / workshop presentations on new technologies and their impact on research, teaching, publishing, and beyond, in the context of Renaissance Studies. Examples of the many areas considered by members of our community can be found in the list of papers presented at the RSA since 2001 (http://bit.ly/1tn6rsd) and in those papers published thus far under the heading of New Technologies and Renaissance Studies (http://bit.ly/1zJiaqp). Please send proposals before 30 April 2016 to Iter.RSA.NewTechnologies@gmail.com. Your proposal should include a title, a 150-word abstract, and a one-paragraph biographical CV, as well as an indication of whether you would consider or prefer an online presentation. We are pleased to be able to offer travel subventions on a competitive basis to graduate students who present on these panels in Chicago; those wishing to be considered for a subvention should indicate this in their abstract submission. We thank Iter (http://www.itergateway.org http://www.itergateway.org/ ) for its generous sponsorship of this series and its related travel subventions since 2001. _______________________________________________ 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 DACED688D; Wed, 13 Apr 2016 07:30:52 +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 44B09687F; Wed, 13 Apr 2016 07:30:51 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 49F0E6881; Wed, 13 Apr 2016 07:30:48 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160413053048.49F0E6881@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016 07:30:48 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.862 pubs: Glottometrics 33 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: <20160413053052.16355.57309@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 862.

THATCamp stands for 'The Humanities and Technology Camp.' It is an unconference: an open meeting aimed at attendees of various backgrounds and skill levels (more info on the format can be found at http://this.thatcamp.org/about/). This&THATCamp Sussex Humanities Lab brings together humanists, technologists, educators, and learners to share, build, and make together around the theme of 'Scale' and is spread over two days to enable a fruitful balance of doing and talking, of teaching and demonstrating, of hacking and yacking. Sessions at THATCamp usually range from general discussions (Talk sessions) to project-based hackathons or writeathons (Make sessions) to technology skills workshops (Teach sessions) to miscellaneous experiments (Play sessions). We anticipate the event focusing on hands-on sessions that explore methods, practice, and strategies for working with humanities data at scale, be that close up or at a distance; but in reality, anything that isn't a standard talk goes! Proposed sessions on a variety of topics are starting to appear at http://this.thatcamp.org/category/session-proposals/ and we are delighted the event will be accompanied by a keynote from Melodee Beals (Loughborough) on 'A Series of Small Things: The Case Study in the Age of Big Data'. To register please head to http://this.thatcamp.org/register/ and fill out the form. Note that the event is free but spaces are limited. All are welcome though priority will be given to doctoral students. Questions and queries should be directed to james.baker@sussex.ac.uk To be informed of future events at the Sussex Humanities Lab, please join our mailing list by contacting shl@sussex.ac.uk --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Apr 2016 22:43:39 +0000 From: Michael Ullyot Subject: DH Summer Institute @ Congress, University of Calgary, June 2016 Dear colleagues: The 3rd annual Digital Humanities Summer Institute @ Congress will be at the University of Calgary on 2-3 June 2016.

Keep on sending us ideas, join us, and help us make the beta with advice for software and articles! The Translation Toolkit is a set of recommendations for translation practices to be used by researchers, librarians or cultural heritage workers working in digital humanities or other fields. In our first iteration we offer some advice on translation for conferences. In the future we hope to offer some advice for translating software and articles.

CA’s mission is to use data-driven approaches towards the study of literature, culture and history. Our mandate is as capacious as it is focused: to transform the humanities through the use of new kinds of methods and evidence grounded in the critical, creative, and theoretical traditions of humanistic inquiry. CA seeks to publish articles that intervene in existing critical debates about culture and establish new lines of inquiry using computational methods. We will have sections on peer-reviewed articles, reviews of new data sets, and a debates section that engages in more timely discussions about new directions in the field. Below you will find the contents of the inaugural issue and the members of the editorial board. Our launch is scheduled for May 2016. We look forward to your feedback and submissions!

Participants applying for funding should note this on the workshop application form. If you have already applied and would like funding you can contact Christy Henshaw at c.henshaw@wellcome.ac.uk. Original Announcement: Applications are now open for an expert workshop to be held in Kraków, Poland, on 12 July 2016, 9:30am - 4:00pm, as part of the Digital Humanities 2016 conference (http://dh2016.adho.org/). [UPDATE: Despite the "sold out" message on the DH2016 registration page, there are currently 18 open positions for the workshop. We apologize for the mis-communication.] We welcome applications from all, but please note that we will aim balance expertise, disciplinary backgrounds, experience with different types of projects, and institutional and project affiliations when finalising our list of participants. This workshop is not suitable for beginners. Participants should have some practical knowledge of running crowdsourcing projects or expertise in human computation, machine learning or other relevant topics. You can apply to attend at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1l05Rba3EqMyy-X4UVmU9z7hQ-jlK2x2kLGvNtJfgtgQ/viewform Beyond The Basics: What Next For Crowdsourcing? Crowdsourcing - asking the public to help with inherently rewarding tasks that contribute to a shared, significant goal or research interest related to cultural heritage collections or knowledge - is reasonably well established in the humanities and cultural heritage sector. The success of projects such as Transcribe Bentham, Old Weather and the Smithsonian Transcription Center in processing content and engaging participants, and the subsequent development of crowdsourcing platforms that make launching a project easier, have increased interest in this area. While emerging best practices have been documented in a growing body of scholarship, including a recent report from the Crowd Consortium for Libraries and Archives symposium, this workshop looks to the next 5 - 10 years of crowdsourcing in the humanities, the sciences and in cultural heritage. The workshop will gather international experts and senior project staff to document the lessons to be learnt from projects to date and to discuss issues we expect to be important in the future. Topics for discussion will be grouped by participants in an unconference-style opening session in which topics are proposed and voted on by participants. They are likely to include the following: Public humanities, education and audiences: - The use of crowdsourcing in formal education - Designing research questions that encourage participation and create space for informal education, the social production of knowledge and collaborative problem solving - The intersection of crowdsourcing, public humanities and engagement with cultural heritage and academic goals - Resolving tensions between encouraging participants to follow opportunities for informal learning and skills development, and focusing on project productivity Organisational and project management issues: - Collaborative partnerships/funding to develop community platform(s) based on open source software - The state of focused research into interface design, engagement methods, and end-user impact studies - Design tensions between techniques that can improve the productivity of projects (such as handwritten text recognition and algorithmic classification) and optimising the user experience - Workflows for crowdsourced data and the ingestion of crowdsourced data into collections management systems - Challenges to institutional and expert authority - The compromises, pros and cons involved in specifying and selecting crowdsourcing software and platforms - The impact of crowdsourcing on organisational structures and resources - Inter-institutional cooperation or competition for crowdsourcing participants Future challenges: - The integration of machine learning and other computational techniques with human computation - Lessons to be learnt from the long histories of grassroots and community history projects - Sharing lessons learnt and planning peer outreach to ensure that academics and cultural heritage professionals can benefit from collective best practice - The ethics of new and emerging forms of crowdsourcing The timetable will include a brief round of introductions, a shared agenda-setting exercise, four or so discussion sessions, and a final session for closing remarks and to agree next steps. The discussion and emergent guidelines documented during the workshop would help future projects benefit from the collective experiences of participants. Outcomes from the workshop might include a whitepaper and/or the further development of or support for a peer network for humanities crowdsourcing. The workshop is organised by Mia Ridge (British Library), Meghan Ferriter (Smithsonian Transcription Centre), Christy Henshaw (Wellcome Library) and Ben Brumfield (FromThePage). We anticipate accepting 30 participants. You can apply to attend at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1l05Rba3EqMyy-X4UVmU9z7hQ-jlK2x2kLGvNtJfgtgQ/viewform On notification of acceptance, we will send detailed instructions for formal registration.

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, LaTeCH 2014 at EACL in Gothenburg, Sweden and LaTeCH 2015 at ACL-IJCNLP 2015 in Beijing, China. ** 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 ** 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 2016 submission website: https://www.softconf.com/acl2016/latech/.

CA’s mission is to use data-driven approaches towards the study of literature, culture and history. Our mandate is as capacious as it is focused: to transform the humanities through the use of new kinds of methods and evidence grounded in the critical, creative, and theoretical traditions of humanistic inquiry. CA seeks to publish articles that intervene in existing critical debates about culture and establish new lines of inquiry using computational methods. We will have sections on peer-reviewed articles, reviews of new data sets, and a debates section that engages in more timely discussions about new directions in the field. Below you will find the contents of the inaugural issue and the members of the editorial board. Our launch is scheduled for May 2016. We look forward to your feedback and submissions!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2016 14:08:16 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Busa's story Allow me to draw to your attention a book just published by Routledge, Steven E. Jones, Roberto Busa, S.J., and the Emergence of Humanities Computing: The Priest and the Punched Cards (2016). Other than Busa's own "Annals of Humanities Computing: The Index Thomisticus", Computers and the Humanities 14 (1980): 83-90, we have had little to go on in English as far as the founding story of digital humanities is concerned. Thanks to Jones we now have a fair bit more. See Amazon for a peek. But I must warn you: the price of the hardback is truly formidable. (Pound on Routledge's door, asking for it to get into paperback speedily!) Those who have read Busa's "Annals" will likely recall that in it he says, > Although some say that I am the pioneer of the computers in the > humanities, such a title needs a good deal of nuancing. A propos of > this, Mr. Lee Loevinger in the Minnesota Law Review, 33 (5) April > 1949), in an article on jurimetrics said: "Machines are now in > existence which have so far imitated thought processes that they > can solve differential equations. Why should not a machine be > constructed to decide lawsuits?" (p. 471). And on the stacks of the IBM > library in New York City I had spotted a book (whose title I have > forgotten), which was printed some time between 1920 and 1940: in it > someone mentioned that it was possible to make lists of names by > means of punched cards.

Graphic Provocations: What do digital humanists want from visualization? Digital humanists have adopted visualization methods from a variety of other disciplines, but do they serve the interpretative approaches of the humanities? How might aesthetics and epistemology find common ground and build on conventions from a broader range of visual arts, architectural design, and other graphical techniques? Can we move beyond reductive approaches that turn complex historical and literary phenomena into "data" and expose other aspects of the partial, situated, and constructed character of humanistic work? This talk outlines design principles for engaging with graphical means of interpretation that extend beyond current presentational tools into analytic, speculative, and provocative approaches. Wednesday 25 May 2016, 6pm, followed by a drinks reception Sir David Davies Lecture Theatre, room G08, Roberts Building, UCL Please note that registration is required for this free event.

The title of our symposium will be “Evolving Bibliography: Scholarly Tools for Sharing Knowledge in the Digital Era.” It will be a two-session symposium, composed of 8-10 papers. We would like to know if you are interested in participating in this symposium. Please contact Stephen Weldon at stephenpweldon@gmail.com by *April 20* with your ideas about a paper topic and title. The abstract of the symposium is as follows: At the turn of the twentieth century, bibliography of history of science was a major enterprise and several large and distinguished projects were begun at that time. The drive to create bibliography was closely tied to the rise of the discipline of history of science, technology, and medicine. One hundred years later, the world of information has changed dramatically as we have moved into a new networked world. New bibliographical and reference tools have emerged to meet new needs of a robust and healthy scholarly enterprise. These new tools have transformed the expectations and nature of scholarship. This session features the work of historians who have run or designed digitally based scholarly reference resources and of librarians and archivists who study and learn to navigate these resources. The authors of the papers have been asked to focus on how these new digital projects have attempted to addressed the current needs of scholars, librarians, and archivists: How successful have they been? Where have they not lived up to expectations? What are the most pressing needs for the next decade? We are especially interested in understanding the elements of reference that are specific to our discipline. What kinds of resources do historians of science and technology need to access in order to produce good work? Stephen P.

In-Reply-To: <20160418060609.CF2518C3@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, If you'll excuse some shameless self-citation, I deal with the historiography of Shakespearean firsts in the history of computing and new media in my book The Shakespearean Archive: Experiments in New Media from the Renaissance to Postmodernity (https://books.google.com/books?isbn=1107040647). Shakespeare shows up fairly often as demo material for new technologies and concepts in the history of information, and there's a quick summary of these instances on pp. 6-7 (and detailed elsewhere in the book). What I learned about the historiography of firsts from this research were two things: 1) identifying a "first" puts one at constant risk of being wrong; and 2) focusing too much on first-hunting can distract from a properly holistic understanding of how technologies develop, especially when that development is slow and discontinuous. Still, looking at "firsts" -- or "seconds" or "tenths" -- can help us see familiar technologies with new eyes, especially in those fascinating intervals before they've become essentialized in the cultural imagination. Steven's book looks like a very promising critical study of an influential origin myth, and I'm looking forward to reading it this summer alongside *Track Changes*. It will be interesting, too, to see if this attention to one of the digital humanities' founding fathers also prompts renewed inquiry into the field's unsung founding mothers. I've made a case for one candidate, Teena Rochfort Smith, in the introduction to my book and here: https://floatingacademy.wordpress.com/2015/01/23/teena-rochfort-smith-the-ada-lovelace-of-the-digital-humanities/ All the best, Alan -- Alan Galey Associate Professor Director, Master of Information Program Faculty of Information University of Toronto _______________________________________________ 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 E083FC1B; Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:37:47 +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 E6EFDBD4; Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:37:46 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E0CBEBD4; Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:37:43 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160419053743.E0CBEBD4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:37:43 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.878 Busa's story 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: <20160419053747.31987.32610@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 878.

I should add that, besides the correspondence and other unpublished materials in the Busa Archive, the IBM Archives, and elsewhere, the book benefitted from translations of Busa's non-English publications, which will appear in a forthcoming volume edited by Marco Passarotti, A. Ciula, and Julianne Nyhan. Finally, a collection of photos from the Busa Archive, with other images related to the book, is available at http://priestandpunchedcards.tumblr.com, along with a free copy of the Introduction and links for purchasing the ebook.

The Digital Library Federation invites proposals for our 2016 DLF Forum , to be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7-9 November 2016. Separate calls are being issued for allied meetings: the DLF Liberal Arts Colleges Pre-Conference (6 November) and Digital Preservation 2016 (9-10 November), the annual conference of the National Digital Stewardship Alliance (NDSA http://ndsa.diglib.org/ )—all in the same location: https://diglib.org/DLFforum2016/ Proposals are due by May 15th at 11:59pm Pacific Time. You may also view the CFP in your browser at: https://www.diglib.org/forums/2016forum/cfp/ About DLF and the Forum: The DLF is a robust and inclusive community that works to advance research, learning, social justice, and the public good through the creative design and wise application of digital library technologies. Our annual Forum (#DLFforum) brings digital library, archives, and museum practitioners together to set ambitious agendas, share new methods and experiments, develop best practices, and better organize our community to accomplish its shared mission. Proposals are encouraged from DLF members and non-members alike. All are welcome at the Forum and warmly encouraged to participate in DLF’s programs year-round. The 2016 Forum will be held at the historic Pfister Hotel http://www.thepfisterhotel.com/ , just blocks from Lake Michigan, the Milwaukee Art Museum http://mam.org/ , restaurants, and nightlife. The hotel has an incredible Victorian art collection, an artist-in-residence program, and a spa. Our local hosts will be the Marquette University Raynor Memorial Libraries http://www.marquette.edu/library/ , University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries, http://uwm.edu/libraries/ and the University of Wisconsin-Madison Libraries . Thanks to the generosity of donors, DLF can again help subsidize childcare at the Forum. (Contact info@diglib.org for more information.) We strive to create a safe, accessible, welcoming, and inclusive event, and operate under a Code of Conduct . To make suggestions or ask questions of DLF Forum organizers and our volunteer Committee on Inclusivity, please contact us at info@diglib.org. Submissions and Evaluation: Proposals should fit within the broad frameworks of digital library, archives, and museum collections and resources; technologies and infrastructure; services and programs; staffing, education, and professional development; social contexts and ethics; labor and vendor relations; or DLF community missions, priorities, problems, and concerns. The Forum traditionally has no set theme so that it may speak to matters of interest to all. We depend on you to propose action-oriented topics geared toward a practitioner audience, considering aspects of design, labor, social responsibility, leadership, collaboration, implementation, and assessment. Proposals of up to 250 words each (up to 500 words for full panel sessions) should be submitted along with requested metadata, using our online system: https://conftool.pro/dlf2016/. Submissions are invited in the following lengths and formats: Presentations or Panels: Traditional format, but with a premium on Q&A. Presentations are allocated 20 minutes, and organized panels with 4 or more speakers will be given a dedicated session. Panel organizers are especially encouraged to include as diverse an array of perspectives and voices as possible. Speakers should reserve significant time for interactive exchanges on next steps, possible DLF community action, and discussion or debate. 6-minute Snapshots: Brief talks, meant to engage, inform, and energize the audience: reports of work in progress, new technologies and services, questions or provocations, and more. Snapshots will be grouped based on overarching themes or ideas, with time for audience questions at the end. 90-second Lightning Talks: We’re doing away with physical posters this year, in favor of more high-profile, high-energy lightning talks, held in a plenary session, with the opportunity to point listeners to additional information online. Workshops: In-depth, hands-on training sessions on specific tools, techniques, workflows, or concepts. Workshop organizers are asked to provide details in the proposal on learning outcomes for participants and technology needs, and to specify both the ideal and minimum number of consecutive, 1-hour sessions needed for the workshop. Lunchtime Working Sessions: Use the Forum to organize and get stuff done! These are birds-of-a-Feather sessions for community organizers, creative problem solvers, and existing or prospective DLF interest groups. Participants eat together while addressing a specific challenge or issue that would benefit from a collective approach. Deadline: May 15th, 2016 at 11:59pm PT. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by our volunteer Program Committee . Broader DLF community input will be welcomed through an open process to be announced in May, the results of which will help inform the Program Committee’s final decisions. (A 50-word short abstract is requested to aid in this process and for the final program.) Presenters will be notified in July and guaranteed a registration slot at the Forum. US Presidential Election Notice: Most DLF Forum attendees will need to plan ahead for early/absentee voting in the 2016 US Presidential Election. Full, state-by-state nonpartisan ballot information and important voter deadlines are available here: https://diglib.org/absentee/. Vote early and join us to watch the election returns in Milwaukee! -- Oliver Bendorf, program associate at the Digital Library Federation find us online: diglib.org http://www.diglib.org/ | follow us on Twitter: @CLIRDLF 1707 L Street NW, Suite 650 | Washington, DC, 20036 _______________________________________________ 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 E8733C3D; Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:40:20 +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 30C35C31; Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:40:20 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6BE8FC29; Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:40:18 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160419054018.6BE8FC29@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 07:40:18 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.880 pubs: French-language DHQ Special issue 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: <20160419054020.32721.49012@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 880.

If you have a project idea, a research topic, or a thought piece that you would like to present and get feedback about, please consider submitting. Details below. Abstracts are due 1 May 2016. All best, Brian Rosenblum ----------------------- MINIMAL COMPUTING: A WORKSHOP 12 July 2016 | Digital Humanities 2016 | Kraków http://go-dh.github.io/mincomp/blog/2016/03/11/cfp-dh2016/ Scheduled for 12 July 2016, this Digital Humanities 2016 ( http://dh2016.adho.org/) workshop will explore the practice and influence of minimal computing from both a practical and theoretical perspective. We use “minimal computing” to refer to computing done under some set of significant constraints, including constraints of hardware, software, education, network capacity, infrastructure, and power. Minimal computing is also used to capture the maintenance, refurbishing, and use of machines to do work out of necessity, along with the choice to use streamlined computing hardware, such as Raspberry Pi or Arduino. In essence, it calls for the reduction of the technical infrastructure required to produce, disseminate, and preserve digital scholarship. Put this way, it can reduce external dependencies (such as reliance on proprietary software, network infrastructure, or complex technology stacks), help communities to assert some control over their content, and facilitate sharing and preservation. This dichotomy of choice versus necessity underscores technology that is arguably not the high-performance computing of high-income economies. By operating within this tension between choice and necessity, minimal computing brings important concepts and practices within digital humanities to the fore. In this way it is also an intellectual concept, akin to environmentalism, asking for balance between gains and costs in areas including social justice, manufacturing, waste, and labor. Despite its fundamental concerns, minimal computing still lacks a cogent research agenda within digital humanities. As such, this workshop aims to bring like-minded researchers from a variety of disciplines to the same space to share work in progress and collectively articulate lines of future inquiry. PAPERS For the workshop, we invite short papers or thought pieces (500-2000 words) engaging questions such as: * What are best practices for application construction in order to maximize access, decrease obsolescence, and reduce e-waste? * How and in what ways does experience in mid- and low-income economies inform ongoing assumptions about how research and collaboration are conducted in high-income economies? * In terms of computing and culture, what meaningful differences emerge across economical, infrastructural, and material conditions? * In and beyond digital humanities, what is implied by minimalist design, and to what effects on practice? * In digital humanities and other contexts, what research is being > conducted with which physical computing technologies, how, and why? * How do the different histories of minimalism in art, design, and > industry form genealogies for minimalism in computers? Or what interesting work are people currently doing with minimal computing in areas such as art, design, and experimental media? Papers may be anchored in existing minimal computing projects, or they may be more theoretical or historical in character.

The first and most special is a screening on the evening of Monday, April 25th of a 15-minute 1974 film van Dam produced as part of one of his early hypertext collaborations, involving the teaching of poetry. The film has not been previously seen in public. It will be accompanied by a panel discussion with van Dam and UMD faculty on the history (and future!) of humanities and CS collaborations. Here's the key information: Computer Science and the Humanities Then and Now A Film Screening and Discussion with Andy van Dam*7:30pm on the evening of Monday April 25, 2016* 0320 Tawes Hall University of Maryland, College Park And here's some background: In January of 2013, the National Endowment of the Humanities (NEH) began a project to digitize all of its early grant records from the 1960’s and 1970’s. These records were stored on old punch-cards known as McBee edge-notched cards. Their goal was to get all these cards entered into a grants database by 2015, which was the NEH’s 50th anniversary. In September of 2015, the NEH completed and announced the project. For the first time ever, the public could search for any grant the NEH had ever made. *Time* magazine ran a story in which they featured ten of the old McBee cards. One of these cards described a grant to Andy van Dam at Brown University in 1974. The title was “An Experiment in Computer Based Education Using Hypertext.” The brief description on the card simply said: *To support an experimental program to teach a college-level English poetry course, utilizing a new form of computer based “manuscript,” called a hypertext. A documentary film about the project is being produced. An evaluation is being performed to determine the usefulness of this technique as an aid to humanities education.* The short film that resulted is an early and remarkable document of the kind of collaboration between humanities scholars and students and computer scientists that is increasingly commonplace in the field known as Digital Humanities. It has not been shown in public since its making. The Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities and the Human-Computer Interaction Lab http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/about/ at the University of Maryland, and the National Endowment for the Humanities http://www.neh.gov/divisions/odh cordially invite you to its first public screening at *7:30pm on the evening of Monday April 25, 2016* in the auditorium at 0320 Tawes Hall. The screening will include commentary on this experiment, which built arguably the first online scholarly community, by Professor van Dam, followed by a panel discussion featuring van Dam as well as Maryland’s own Ben Shneiderman, Kari Kraus (Associate Professor, iSchool and English Department), the NEH’s CIO and Director of the Office of Digital Humanities Brett Bobley, and NEH’s Program Analyst Ann Sneesby-Koch (to be moderated by MITH’s Associate Director Matthew Kirschenbaum). *Andy Van Dam will also be joining us for a special Digital Dialogue talk the following Tuesday afternoon, April 26th:* http://mith.umd.edu/dialogues/dd-spring-2016-andy-van-dam/ Both events are free and open to the public. -- Matthew Kirschenbaum Associate Professor of English Associate Director, Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) University of Maryland http://mkirschenbaum.net or @mkirschenbaum on Twitter --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2016 11:03:53 +0100 From: Chris Sparks Subject: This&THATCamp Sussex Humanities Lab, 19-20 May In-Reply-To: Dear all, DH-ers and anyone interested in the Digital Humanities may be interested in next month's Humanities and Technology event at the University of Sussex. (With apologies for cross posting!): -- This&THATCamp Sussex Humanities Lab takes place on 19-20 May 2016 at the University of Sussex. It brings together humanists, technologists, educators, and learners to share, build, and make together around the theme of scale. Spread over two days to enable a fruitful balance of doing and talking, of teaching and demonstrating, of hacking and yacking, this delegate-led unconference throws open the Sussex Humanities Lab to stimulate novel collaborations that reinvent the humanities, one bit at a time. The event will focus on hands-on sessions that explore methods, practice, and strategies for working with humanities data at scale, be that close up or at a distance; but in reality, anything that isn’t a standard talk goes! Sessions proposed thus far can be found at this.thatcamp.org/category/session-proposals/. As participants, you will pick on the first day when, where, and whether the sessions proposed take place. In addition to the unconference elements, the event will feature a keynote from Melodee Beals (Loughborough) entitled ‘A Series of Small Things: The Case Study in the Age of Big Data’. Those interested in joining us should register at this.thatcamp.org/register/. Please note that spaces are limited so registration is vital. Bursaries are available for postgraduate, early-career, or unwaged individuals who need financial assistance to attend.

Working on textual phenomena of ancient texts (Potsdam, February 16-17, 2017) In-Reply-To: Call for papers Workshop Classical Philology goes digital Working on textual phenomena of ancient texts University of Potsdam, February 16-17, 2017 Digital technologies continue to change our daily lives, including the way scholars work. As a result, the Classics are currently also subject to constant change. Having established itself as an important field in the scientific landscape, Digital Humanities (DH) research provides a number of new possibilities to scholars who deal with analyses and interpretations of ancient works. Greek and Latin texts become digitally available and searchable (editing, encoding), they can be analyzed to find certain structures (text-mining), and they can also be provided with metadata (annotation, linking, textual alignment), e.g. according to traditional commentaries to explain terms, vocabulary or syntactic relationships (in particular tree-banking) for intra- and intertextual linking as well as for connections with research literature. Therefore, an important keyword in this is 'networking,' because there is so much potential for Classical Philology to collaborate with the Digital Humanities in creating useful tools for textual work, that a clear overview is difficult to obtain. Moreover, this scientific interest is by no means unilateral: Collaboration is very important for Digital Humanities as a way of (further) developing and testing digital methods. This is exactly where the proposed workshop comes in: representing several academic disciplines and institutions, scholars will come together to talk about their projects. We have invited Digital Humanists to the discussion who have experience pertaining to special issues in Classical Philology and can present the methods and potentials of their research (including the AvH Chair of DH / Leipzig, the CCeH, the DAI and Dariah-DE). In order to enable intensive and efficient work involving the various ideas and projects, the workshop is aimed at philologists whose research interests focus on certain phenomena of ancient texts, e.g. similes or quotations, and who want to examine more closely how such phenomena are presented and used, including questions of intertextuality and text-reuse. The aim of extracting and annotating textual data as similes poses the same type of practical philological problems for Classicists. Therefore, the workshop provides insight in two main ways: First, in an introductory theoretical section, DH experts will present keynote lectures on specific topics such as encoding, annotating, linking and text-mining; second, the focus of the workshop will be to discuss project ideas with DH experts, to explore and explain possibilities for digital implementation, and ideally to offer a platform for potential cooperation. The focus is explicitly on working together to explore ideas and challenges, based also on concrete practical examples. This main section will be divided into two sessions based on methods from the Digital Humanities; according to their main focus, projects will be assigned to one of the following groups: 1. producing digital data: computational analysis of ancient texts, detecting textual elements; and 2. commenting on texts: annotation and linking. It is entirely possible that some themes will be more or less important for the different research goals. The keynotes and project presentations will be classified into the following sessions: I. DH keynote speaker The workshop begins with keynotes held by invited DH specialists who have expertise in the special issues of Digital Classics. The aim of these lectures is to describe possibilities for implementing information technology for philological purposes, taking into account the specific challenges of ancient texts, their conditions and transmission. By demonstrating best-practice examples, the speakers will provide initial ideas as to what is useful and possible. This session serves as an introduction to the two following sessions that are focused on the discussion of specific projects. II. Project presentations 1) Producing digital data: computational analysis of ancient texts, detecting textual elements. Projects within Session 1 will mainly deal with the question of how specific textual elements that have a more or less fixed structure in a text may be systematically detected: How might the conventional readings of texts and the manual search in various textual resources be combined with automated analyses? How might text-mining and natural language processing techniques be used to supplement a reading? The DH experts will provide insight into such topics as the possibilities of named entity recognition and collections of textual elements in semantically linked datasets that leverage formal ontologies. Networking with already existing resources for ancient texts as well as with similar current projects will be discussed. Questions relating to editing a text, especially to how a text can be presented and preserved for online research, may briefly be mentioned. However, the main focus here is on the extraction of information. 2) Commenting on texts: annotation and linking Session 2 includes projects that focus on providing a text with metadata. How might the different parts of a textual element, e.g. specific terms and the syntactic or semantic sentence structure, be explained by annotation? Which open standards for annotating a text may be wisely used? What kind of linking is possible, not only with the primary source text, but also with research literature and lexical entities, for instance? Participants will also talk about how the resulting resources could be used as real research tools for users, e.g. for a comprehensive search of particular terms. The presentations will be given in German or English, as well as the discussions. Addressing this specific interest in textual philology, the searched projects should deal with certain types of textual elements that have a more or less fixed structure, e.g. figurative language, quotations or special terms. The purpose should be to analyze texts focusing on these forms and to annotate and align passages. The discussions, therefore, will address how to extract and annotate data, i.e. how to work with them in a digital environment. The Classical Philology department at the University of Potsdam is very well equipped for this kind of joint project. The presentations should not exceed 15 minutes. As the focus of the workshop is on the following discussion, 30 minutes are scheduled for collaborative exchange after each lecture. Contributions should be submitted by May 15th, 2016, in the form of a short abstract (max. 300 words) along with a brief biography. Digital Humanists are also invited to submit further proposals for lectures in the DH section, which should not exceed 30 minutes in length. The workshop will take place at the University of Potsdam from February 16th to 17th, 2017.

The CFP is also available at The Caribbean Digital III website http://caribbeandigitalnyc.net/2016/ . Apologies if you've already received this call via other networks. Thanks, Kaiama, Alex and Kelly Call for Papers a Small Axe Project event 2 December 2016 Barnard College / Columbia University New York, NY *Deadline for proposals:* 15 July 2016 The transformation of the academy by the digital revolution presents challenges to customary ways of learning, teaching, conducting research, interpreting documents and presenting findings. It also offers great opportunities in each of these areas. New media enable oration, graphics, objects, and even embodied performance to supplement existing forms of scholarly production as well as to constitute entirely original platforms. Opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration have expanded enormously; information has been made more accessible and research made more efficient on multiple levels. Scholars are called upon, with some urgency, to adapt their research and pedagogical methods to an academic climate deluged by a superabundance of information and analysis. This has created opportunities for open-ended and multiform engagements, interactive and continually updating archives and other databases, cartographic applications that enrich places with historical information, and online dialogues with peers and the public. The need for such engagements is especially immediate among the people of the Caribbean and its diasporas. Information technology has become an increasingly significant part of the way that people frame pressing social problems and political aspirations. Aesthetic media like photography and painting—because they are relatively inexpensive and do not rely on literacy or formal training—have become popular among economically dispossessed and politically marginalized constituencies. Moreover, the Internet is analogous in important ways to the Caribbean itself as dynamic and fluid cultural space: it is generated from disparate places and by disparate peoples; it challenges fundamentally the geographical and physical barriers that disrupt or disallow connection; and it places others and elsewheres in relentless relation. Yet while we celebrate these opportunities for connectedness, we also must make certain that the digital realm undermine and confront rather than re-inscribe forms of silencing and exclusion in the Caribbean. Following on conversations that animated our events in 2014 http://caribbeandigitalnyc.net/2015/sxcd2014/ and 2015 http://caribbeandigitalnyc.net/2015/ , we look forward in this third public forum to engaging critically with the digital as practice and as historicized societal phenomenon, reflecting on the challenges and opportunities presented by the media technologies that evermore intensely reconfigure the social and geographic contours of the Caribbean. We invite presentations that explicitly evoke: - the transatlantic, collaborative, and/or interdisciplinary possibilities and limitations of digital technologies in the Caribbean - metaphorical linkages between the digital and such Caribbean philosophical, ethical, and aesthetic concepts as “submarine unity,” the rhizome, Relation, the spiral, repeating islands, creolization, etc. - gendered dimensions of the digital in the Caribbean - the connection between digital technologies and practices of the so-called Caribbean folk - specific engagements with digital spaces and/or theories by individual Caribbean artists and intellectuals - the ways in which digital technologies have impacted or shaped understandings of specific Caribbean political phenomena (e.g. sovereignty, reparations, transnationalism, migration, etc.) - structural means of facilitating broad engagement, communication, and accessibility in the Caribbean digital context (cultivation of multilingual spaces, attentiveness to the material/hardware limitations of various populations) - in what ways has the digital brought welcome bibliographic, philological and curatorial attention to endangered or neglected archives in the region Both traditional conference papers and integrally multimedia presentations are welcome. We also welcome virtual synchronous participation by presenters who cannot travel to New York City to attend the event. Selected participants from this forum will be encouraged to submit their work to *sx archipelagos* – an interactive, born-digital, print-possible, peer-reviewed Small Axe Project publication. Abstracts of 300 words and a short bio should be sent to Kaiama L. Glover, Kelly Baker Josephs, and Alex Gil (tcd@smallaxe.net) by *15 July 2016*. Successful applicants will be notified by 15 August 2016.

Please contact Marten Düring, marten.during@cvce.eu. Networks, network metaphors and network visualisations are everywhere. In recent years, they have been increasingly used as omnipresent representations of complexity itself and network-based infrastructures are increasingly shaping the way in which we organise and consume information. In this workshop we want to explore how network visualisations and infrastructures will change the research and outreach activities of cultural heritage professionals and historians. Among the questions we seek to discuss during the workshop are for example: How do users benefit from graphs and their visualisation? Which skills do we expect from our users? What can we teach them? Are SNA theories and methods relevant for public-facing applications? How do graph-based applications shape a user’s perception of the documents/objects which constitute the data? How can applications benefit from user engagement? How can applications expand and tap into other resources? To this end we bring together scholars from the humanities and computer science, from design as well as the natural sciences to present best practices in their fields, to start an interdisciplinary dialogue and to help foster future co-operations. The workshop is collocated with this year’s DH Benelux conference at the University of Luxembourg (http://dhbenelux.org/).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2016 16:35:56 -0300 From: Amir Simantov Subject: Relationships among types of sources? Dear humanist, I am developing a database (online, built with Drupal) which holds sources (mainly bibliographical). I was wondering whether there is a known convention or structure of the relationships among them which takes them all into account (considering their fields, as well). Here is a link to a specific tab ("Print Kinds") of a document that I have shared: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VUZ8nxMbj6Mlbxn7mrJsWfb3t_Z7R4enW_DRM2H-tHo/edit?usp=sharing Inside it you can see the kinds of sources (we call it there "Print") as headers, and the fields as lines. There is a plus sign ("+") in a cell where a field is supplied for the specific kind. Now, we do not want to reinvent the wheel, so I am looking for a document that states what are the relationships among the various kinds. A reference - the same or another one - about the fields themselves that each one should hold will be also great. For technical guys - what would be the best is a UML class diagram, of course, although I am not sure this is "out there"... Any help will be appreciated! Thanks, Amir Simantov _______________________________________________ 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 1F1E5D35; Sat, 23 Apr 2016 08:20:56 +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 BB028D2D; Sat, 23 Apr 2016 08:20:54 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 46EA4D09; Sat, 23 Apr 2016 08:20:52 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160423062052.46EA4D09@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2016 08:20:52 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.887 DH2016 news: workshop on research patterns 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: <20160423062055.4576.26082@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 887.

This workshop aims to engage participants in the process of developing and analyzing ontology-based, structured documentations of scholarly research practices, predominantly those in the (digital) humanities. Using such structured representations of the practices followed by researchers, patterns of work and resource usage can be extracted and subsequently studied, re-used or modified, thus supporting the dissemination and evolution of research practices. Participants are invited to apply through an Eventbrite form HERE submitting the topic of their intended contribution to the modeling exercise (up to 50 words) along with a brief bio (up to 150 words). NEW deadline for applications: *May 15, 2016*. Notification of acceptance: *May 22, 2016*. (Please keep in mind that DH2016 Early Registration closes on May 10) This workshop will be held on Monday, 11 July 2016 from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM in Krakow, Poland.

The annual SEMANTiCS conference is the meeting place for professionals who make semantic computing work, who understand its benefits and encounter its limitations. Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search, document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary management. The success of last year’s conference in Vienna with more than 280 attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world. There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic software systems. The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe. SEMANTiCS 2016 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot topics: * Data Quality Management * Data Science (Data Mining, Machine Learning, Network Analytics) * Semantics on the Web, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org * Corporate Knowledge Graphs * Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies * Economics of Data, Data Services and Data Ecosystems Following the success of previous years, the ‘horizontals’ (research) and ‘verticals’ (industries) below are of interest for the conference: Horizontals * Enterprise Linked Data & Data Integration * Knowledge Discovery & Intelligent Search * Business Models, Governance & Data Strategies * Big Data & Text Analytics * Data Portals & Knowledge Visualization * Semantic Information Management * Document Management & Content Management * Terminology, Thesaurus & Ontology Management * Smart Connectivity, Networking & Interlinking * Smart Data & Semantics in IoT * Semantics for IT Safety & Security * Semantic Rules, Policies & Licensing * Community, Social & Societal Aspects Verticals * Industry & Engineering * Life Sciences & Health Care * Public Administration * Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums (GLAM) * Education & eLearning * Media & Data Journalism * Publishing, Marketing & Advertising * Tourism & Recreation * Financial & Insurance Industry * Telecommunication & Mobile Services * Sustainable Development: Climate, Water, Air, Ecology * Energy, Smart Homes & Smart Grids * Food, Agriculture & Farming * Safety, Security & Privacy * Transport, Environment & Geospatial Research / Innovation Papers The Research & Innovation track at SEMANTiCS welcomes the submission of papers on novel scientific research and/or innovations relevant to the topics of the conference.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2016 11:27:40 -0500 From: Candice Lanius Subject: CfP: Audiovisual data and digital scholarship: towards multimodal literacy Workshop at DH2016, 12 July 2016, Krakow, Poland In many online platforms and websites, audio-visual data is gradually playing an equal or greater role than text. Similarly, in multiple disciplines such as anthropology, ethnomusicology, folklore, media studies, film studies, history, and English, scholars are relying more and more on audio-visual data for richer analysis of their research and for accessing information not available through textual analysis. Developing aural and visual literacy has therefore become increasingly essential for 21st century digital scholarship. While audiovisual data allows for research to be disseminated and displayed linearly, within one modality (e.g., reading a book from first to last page), it also allows for non-linear discovery and analysis, within multiple modalities (e.g., reading a webpage, browsing to a link with a sound clip, from there to a clip with film). This workshop will address both the challenges of *analyzing* audiovisual data in digital humanities scholarship, as well as the challenges of *educating* contemporary digital humanists on how to access, analyze, and disseminate an entire century of information generated with audiovisual media. Other challenges to be addressed at this workshop concern issues surrounding copyright and sustainability and their impact on the dissemination and long-term access of audiovisual resources. One area of heated debate is whether certain copyright laws, which were originally instated to protect the development of new inventions, are in fact hampering the dissemination of new knowledge due to the restrictions they place on ways information may be displayed or disseminated. Some scholars contend that copyright laws will become obsolete over the next decades, while others argue that these laws will progressively restrict how scholars use audiovisual media in digital humanities research. Because of the complicated ways these copyright restrictions relate to audiovisual media, they affect films, television and sound more profoundly than digitized books with text and still images. Given these particular challenges faced by digital humanists working with audiovisual materials, a number of questions arise regarding how we might navigate these complex issues concerning copyright, sustainability and long-term storage and access. Can infrastructures essential for shepherding these digital transitions be made available for individual audiovisual digital humanities projects? Can digital humanists look to the university library as the place to support and sustain the websites, datasets and tools created by audiovisual DH research? How can digital humanists secure the massive server space needed to sustain the large-scale storage needs inherent in audiovisual DH projects? Who should oversee the recurring process of inevitable file migration and quality assurance needed for film, photo and sound formats? Are ‘business-models’ and their potential commercial benefit the way to go or are such arrangements overly optimistic? Are there encouraging examples of successfully sustained audiovisual DH projects that have effectively dealt with copyright issues? Will audiovisual DH scholars become increasingly dependent on philanthropic monopolistic corporations such as Google, Facebook, IBM and Microsoft to sustain their projects? What role should universities play as custodians and advocates of the knowledge produced by our audiovisual DH projects? Invitation to Share Insights from Mature or Newly Minted Projects The workshop organisers invite scholars to present case studies on the following topics: - Implementations of tools for computational analysis of AV content - Demonstrations of tools that show how audiovisual media are suited for nonlinear discovery and analysis using multiple modalities - Demonstrations of education and training of digital humanists in accessing and analyzing audiovisual media - Case studies that have successfully dealt with copyright issues related to audiovisual media, and that demonstrate convincing arguments and strategies - Successful arrangements for securing sustainability for the use of audiovisual data for scholarly purposes and examples of ways to preserve and provide long-term access. This workshop is a follow-up to a first workshop on audiovisual material in digital humanities held at the 2014 DH Conference in Lausanne (link ). That workshop paved the way for the foundation of the AVinDH Special Interest Group that has endorsed this 2016 edition. Workshop Overview This full-day workshop will start with a keynote address on multimodal literacy by Dr. Claire Clivaz , Head of Digital Enhanced Learning at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics of Lausanne and active in #dariahTeach http://dariah.eu/teach/index.php/2015/05/21/welcome-to-dariahteach/ for which she is Head of dissemination and developer of the module Multimodal Literacies. This keynote will be followed by three sessions of paper presentations based around three themes: 1. Models for training digital humanists in accessing and analyzing audiovisual collections 2. Analysis and discovery models for audiovisual materials 3. Copyright and sustainability During the fourth session, workshop participants can give very short lightning talks/project pitches of max 5 minutes of ongoing work, projects or plans. Registration for this session will take place during the workshop so no submission is needed for part of the workshop. The workshop will be closed with a plenary & interactive session. Submission of proposals The workshop organisers invite abstracts that deal with the aforementioned issues and that can be presented in one of the three sessions.. Submissions should include the following: - General abstract (should not exceed 500 words). - Contact info and a short description of research interests of the authors. - A suggestion for the session that suits your presentation best To submit a proposal, please send a docx or pdf file to avindhworkshop@gmail.com before May 1 2016. Accepted abstracts will be published on the website of the AVinDH Special Interest Group. All proposals will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee which will be chaired by Prof. Dr. Franciska de Jong, Erasmus University Rotterdam / CLARIN ERIC. The workshop organisers aim to publish a selection of the best papers in a special issue of an academic journal. More information about the workshop can be found on the website of the SIG AVinDH at https://avindhsig.wordpress.com/workshop-2016-krakow/ Please note that registration for the workshop requires registration for the full DH2016 conference.

Please make sure you register before the first of June: http://universeum2016.nl/registration This year meeting will be hosted by the University of Amsterdam and Utrecht University, The Netherlands. The theme of the meeting is: ‘connecting collections’. The ways we use university collections, are constantly changing. It is a challenge to stimulate and increase use for contemporary research, education, representation and display. It is also a challenge to use collections across different areas (e.g. natural history collections used in humanities and social sciences, scientific instruments and illustrations used in history of design or social history, etc). Why is it this difficult and which new angles can we consider?

Kress Foundation, the Department of Art History and Archaeology and the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) of the University of Maryland, College Park, present Art History in Digital Dimensions, a three-day symposium in Washington, D.C. and College Park. The symposium aims to unite diverse audiences and practitioners in a critical intervention for the digital humanities and digital art history, providing a cogent and inclusive road map for the future. The symposium will begin at The Phillips Collection on Wednesday, October 19 with a keynote lecture given by Paul B. Jaskot, Professor of Art History at DePaul University, on the theme “Why Digital Art History?” On Thursday and Friday, October 20-21, sessions in College Park will include roundtables, break-out sessions, lightning round presentations, and plenaries. Topics of discussion will include collaborative, trans-disciplinary models of research; the implications of data-driven approaches to art history and the humanities; legal and ethical obligations of scholars and museum professionals engaging art history in the digital world; and the innovative array of objects for study presupposed by digital art history. We are seeking 15 participants, including 5 graduate students, to join in the conversation with 25 invited contributors. We aim to engage a multi-generational cross-section of the art-historical community, including senior, mid-career, and emerging scholars, as well as a wide range of institutional perspectives, from higher education to museums. Ideal participants will have experience from the academy and/or museum in art-historical research practices that intersect with the digital realm. To apply, please submit a CV and a personal statement (maximum of 500 words) that describes your involvement in and ambitions for digital art history, with particular attention to the perspective you might bring to the symposium as an engaged participant.

One of these deliberately did not use the disciplinary term in a book he published recently -- a book that I would say is squarely, safely within the Big Tent. Another, who is directing a major project likewise identifiable with the field, noted that he could not identify with many who identify themselves as "digital humanists". None of those I have in mind are narrow-minded specialists who cannot understand what others do to be research or are aged cane-thumpers. They are those whom we would want to be colleagues. So a question to be considered and, I would hope, debated. I would like to know, for example, if others have heard the same sort of remarks, ones not immediately attributable to prejudice. I get the impression that the turn-off has something to do with an irrational need to identify with whatever is available. Many years ago, on my way to my office in Toronto, I spotted a large graffito that read, "I need a cause!" My immediate thought was, here's a self-unexplained effect looking for his cause. Perhaps at the time I was reading something about causality, or thinking back to early days at Berkeley, where I noted the same faces appearing one day then the next under banners advocating very different causes, and so began thinking about this curious passion to self- identify. More interest in and experience with the subject, less in belonging to whatever, I say. Comments?

An interesting part of this is in the group of people around Hybrid/Digital Pedagogy (the #DigPedPosse, if you will). A few months ago, they hosted a #DigPed chat against “Digital Humanities”: http://www.digitalpedagogylab.com/digital-humanities-public-work-and-safety-a-digped-chat/ McGill University’s Tom Fullerton was part of that chat and his stance on DH is appropriately nuanced. Just this week, there was an “annotation mob” on a #DigPed piece which devoted quite a bit of attention to defining practices of “The Digital” in Humanities away from what one might call “Digital Humanities”. https://gamesandlearning.wordpress.com/2016/04/24/an-annotation-flash-mob-invitation/ These people are digital residents, not digital visitors (as per the felicitous distinction from Le Cornu & White, avoiding Prensky’s nativism). And they do neat things having to do with technopedagogy in the Humanities. Perhaps unsurprisingly, there has been significant interest in that group for Web annotations, particularly with Hypothes.is (shepherding the W3C’s Open Annotation protocol). Jeremy Dean is quite instrumental in this trend and his connection to UT’s Digital Writing & Research Lab might be an important part of the background. Sounds to me like much of there are diverse strands in DH criticism. One may be about investing so many resources into one approach to technology in the Humanities (the “too many eggs in a single basket” idea). A potentially related thread might be about the fact that we now take “The Digital” for granted (the “been there, done that” reaction). A third one is directed at DH’s quant side (the “Math envy” critique), with associated points on epistemology. The #DigPedPosse mostly adopts a fourth position, which is more about social inequalities. It does combine some of the other perspectives, but it sounds like they “fight for a cause”. Surely, some of those critics are on the list, already. (Would qualify as one, depending on the context.) Those who aren’t here could participate in the conversation, though it might require the use of other platforms for engagement. Is there a DH Slack? -- Alex Enkerli, Learning Technology Advisor Vitrine technologie-éducation http://www.vteducation.org/en +1-514-332-3000 #6023 --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 13:52:01 +0000 From: "Lele, Amod" Subject: Re: 29.899 anti-DH? In-Reply-To: <20160427054155.2E4FFD5A@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, you say the first scholar’s book is "squarely, safely within the Big Tent". Could the problem be that DH has become too closely identified with a Little Tent? It has seemed to me that for many self-identified digital humanists, the work is not only identified specifically with computation and visualization, but with a particular ideology associated with those projects - one that may seem more social-scientific than humanistic, to some observers at least (myself included). I wrote a blog post on this topic a couple years ago (http://loveofallwisdom.com/blog/2013/06/digital-philosophy/ ), in response to a syllabus for a DH course (http://www3.nd.edu/~mwilkens/Wilkens_DH_Syllabus_Init.pdf ) whose logic I found problematic (and discussed in a comment thread, https://mattwilkens.com/2012/09/09/digital-humanities-grad-syllabus/#comment-595 ). I would be interested in hearing reactions to the blog post from this list. I don't know if the concerns I voice there are the same ones that would be voiced by your colleagues, but perhaps they are related?

With that I mean that while you/we may identify people who are doing DH on the basis of what they're doing, they may never have needed DH as a 'movement' to do what they're doing. Of course, this may not apply exactly to your examples, I do not know, but speaking from my perspective on the development of the movement (I don't feel that comfortable calling DH a discipline, though I appreciate some of this may be down to semantics) I have always felt I miss intellectual clout for DH as a unit of any description to make it of consequence to what I'm doing (research-wise). However, at risk of sounding overly sarcastic, it is of consequence to what I may want to do. But that's to do with DH as a term and as a fashion, becoming something policy wants to fund when it is explicitly identified. This then implies that I'm pragmatic about it. If it helps to mention it I will, but it doesn't help me or my research to progress intellectually, therefore in those contexts I may simply not mention it. This might be one of the motivators for neglecting to mention the term in a book. For me personally that is not an issue, as I think that DH as a unit may become less and less significant as it's practices and research outcomes mature. Hope there's something of use in these thoughts. As you see, I'm still chipping into the community behind the movement regardless of aby personal thoughts.

Call for Keynote Speaker The planning committee is looking to the community to help nominate a keynote speaker or speakers. The opening session will set the tone of the preconference, and the planning committee particularly welcomes suggestions for a speaker (or speakers!) who can explore the intersectionality of digital library praxis and a liberal arts education. Please send us your ideas via the following web form . Call for Proposals We invite proposals for panels, presentations, hands-on workshops, make-hack-play sessions, and dork shorts that foster conversation, connections, and provocation at the intersection of digital libraries and the liberal arts. View the full-length CFP at >. Proposals are due by May 15 at 11:59 pm Pacific Time. Not Able to Attend In Person? On November 6, join the conversation by chiming in using the #dlfLAC Twitter hashtag. After the preconference, we hope to make recording of keynote speakers, panels, and presentations available for the community.

The studentship is linked to a Leverhulme Trust project which started in 2015 called “Geospatial Innovation in the Digital Humanities: A Deep Map of the Lake District” (http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lakesdeepmap/) awarded to Dr Paul Rayson (School of Computing and Communications), Professor Ian Gregory (History), Professor Sally Bushell (English and Creative Writing) and Dr Christopher Donaldson (English Literature, University of Birmingham). Overall, the Leverhulme Trust project is developing new understandings of the literary and cultural geographies of one of Britain’s most significant cultural landscapes, the English Lake District, by applying ground-breaking, exploratory geographical methods to the interdisciplinary research field of the spatial humanities (http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/spatialhum/). Bringing together researchers with complementary expertise in computer science, geographic information science (GISc), literary studies, and regional history, the project will create a step change in the way scholars engage with the geographies that inform regional identity and sense of place. If your application is successful, you will join the UCREL research centre and based within the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, and be co-supervised by Dr Paul Rayson and Professor Ian Gregory. You will work within a long standing interdisciplinary team linking corpus-based natural language processing research with the spatial humanities. Topic: The core of the PhD will be to develop a prototype deep map (envisaged as an intuitive, open-access web tool) that allows a range of user-groups to gain new understandings of the importance of space and place to Lake District heritage. Its core source will be the Corpus of Lake District writing – over 1.5 million words from texts written between 1622-1900 from which place-names have been extracted and geo-located. Deep mapping offers a new way to approach, understand and analyse the relationship between geography, history and literature through a variety of media that allows for full exploration of multiple layers of meaning in relation to the object of study. The first question the thesis will explore is what new research processes are supported by the affordances of interactive deep map methods that combine spatial analysis, natural language processing (NLP) and corpus linguistics techniques? Second, how does one present this information to a wide range of user-groups in ways that make it accessible and understandable? Third, which interactive visualisation techniques best support these different user-groups? The user-groups in question include in particular: (1) scholars of literature, history, human geography and other subjects with an interest in the Lake District; (2) students studying these subjects; (3) the wider public including tourists and the local community and particularly organisations that serve these groups including museums and galleries, local heritage societies, the National Park Authority and Tourist Information Centres. We have good links to these organisations through Lancaster’s Regional Heritage Centre. Academic Requirements: you must have an excellent degree in Computer Science, or closely related field. Experience of an MSc project in NLP, HCI, or any related area is desirable but not a requirement. Funding: the Scholarship provides tuition fees (or partial fee waiver for overseas students) for a duration of 3 years; an annual stipend of £14,000. Application Instructions: closing date for formal application is 31 May 2016 via the Postgraduate Admissions Portal (please mention this role when applying): http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/scc/postgraduate/postgraduate-research/scholarships/ http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ANN068/phd-studentship/ Potential applicants should email to Paul Rayson (p.rayson@lancaster.ac.uk) or Ian Gregory (i.gregory@lancaster.ac.uk) for informal advice.

Twelve archivists were selected and trained over a two year period and placed in African American archives across the country. In 2016, the work begun under The HistoryMakers Institute will continue in a new collaboration with Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Emory University's Stuart A. Rose Manuscripts, Rare Books and Rare Book Library, and The Harvard Library's Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.Yale University and Harvard University will each appoint a year-long visiting archivist, and Emory University will appoint a two-year visiting archivist - all of whom will have recently received an MLS, and will start in their position by September 1, 2016. The HistoryMakers will continue to serve as a consultant to the project and serve on the Institute's Advisory Board. The goal is to provide professional post graduate training in a respected archive with rich African American archival holdings. Each fellowship is being funded by the host institution. Archivists will be able to apply in spring of 2016 for consideration at Yale University's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Emory University's Stuart A. Rose Manuscripts, Rare Books and Rare Book Library, and The Harvard Library's Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study Over time, it is expected that more institutions will be recruited to participate in this program whose goal is to increase the number of archivists from under-served populations. The purpose of the 2016 Minority Archival Fellowship is to: 1) Provide a meaningful and valuable post-masters training experience that incorporates an intensive training program at a world-class university archive, including professional development, presentation at academic conferences, and interaction with lesser-known African American collections around the country; 2) Encourage the inclusion of minority archivists and recent MLIS graduates in the field of archives management; 3) Encourage the fellows to engage in outreach activities in the community. 4) Build and support a network of people committed to the same goal of increasing diversity in the profession. The 2016 Visiting Minority Archival Fellows will: 1) Increase skills preserving and providing increased access to an African American archival collection. 2) Demonstrate increased knowledge of the nation's African American archival collections. 3) Demonstrate increased knowledge of African American history and culture broadly and as it relates to special collections of African American archival collections. 4) Reported increase in marketability and employability as an archivist.

In-Reply-To: <20160428053158.89B1FE2F@digitalhumanities.org> For what it’s worth: there is my conference talk suggesting that textual scholars should rise up and throw digital humanities out of their editions and projects: see https://www.academia.edu/4124828/SDSE_2013_why_digital_humanists_should_get_out_of_textual_scholarship Also ore usefully: my reflections on the reaction to this document, at https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5774054219585481589#editor/target=post;postID=8655153725145891260;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=2;src=postname It could be argued that no single field of the humanities is as amenable to the use of TEI encoding, and to the digital humanities in general, as Textual Scholarship. Many of us, myself included, have built pleasant careers out of this coincidence. But scholarly relationships, like all relationships, have their frictions. Peter --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:13:46 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: what's missing In-Reply-To: <20160428053158.89B1FE2F@digitalhumanities.org> Scholars have for decades voiced impatient interest in being shown "the real use of X" (to generalise Hubertus Kohle's remark on behalf of his colleague in Renaissance studies). By now, for most if not all disciplines, I'd think, this interest would often not be so difficult to connect with approximately if not fully to satisfy, though it might require a long conversation, changes of mind and several demos to get close to a satisfactory conclusion. (I spent years doing exactly that prior to my first academic position. It was during that time, because of the interactions that I had with colleagues at Toronto, that I formed the research interests that have stayed with me.) Such conversations sometimes unsurprisingly end in the conclusion that the technology is simply too primitive at the present state of development, though they can also yield some hard questions for computer science. Computer scientists in my experience welcome such questions, though I would doubt that many of the questions ever reach them.) Take, for example, the study of analogical emanations in the work of Leonardo da Vinci (in his “Theory and Art of Painting”, ed. Richter). Would computing be able to help? If so what would we in digital humanities learn from the attempt to fit our crude tools to such a challenging problem? So much depends on what the critic means by "real use". With the sufficiently demanding critic I'd hope for -- demands are food for thought, growth and action -- I would suppose that the conversation would have to be conducted face to face. So much can be learned on both sides from such a conversation. In other words both "serve me!" and "use this!" are unhelpful and very wide of the mark. To my mind the comment that I think comes closest to the core of the problem with digital humanities is Benjamin Vis's: > I have always felt I miss intellectual clout for DH as a unit of any > description to make it of consequence to what I'm doing (research-wise). So much energy in DH is directed to belonging or not belonging to the social group, so much to following the money in order to satisfy (in the U.K.) money-hungry institutions and (everywhere, I'd guess) to build a profile that allows the individual to escape whatever inferior place he or she is in. Don't get me wrong, mates are good, money can be very good, e.g. to set up and conduct an institute for colleagues which raises exactly such issues as these. But the end toward which money is directed makes all the difference. Back to that "intellectual clout" of which we have so little. So little attention is given to it. Building the scholarly musculature is, I know, very, very difficult, especially for a young field of intellectual activity that must poke its nose into every other field of intellectual activity to build both the "large gathering of people sharing a common life" (communia) and its own strength. How far we have to go to reach the thrilling sophistication, say, of G. E. R. Lloyd, Gillian Beer, Miles Burnyeat, and the centuries of work that made their work possible! I say, let's turn away from popularity, keep our heads down, do the work and let belonging take care of itself. Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2016 09:37:50 +0000 From: "Cosgrave, Mike" Subject: RE: 29.900 anti-DH? In-Reply-To: <20160428053158.89B1FE2F@digitalhumanities.org> I feel that one issue is that DH is no longer 'special'; it is becoming the norm, faster than we imagined. Funding and open data is one driver here - from 2017 on, all Horizon 2020 projects must, effectively, have a research data management plan to make their data available after, and possibly during the project. That essentially means a digital data curation plan, and if you have to manage your data digitally, you might as well take advantage of the benefits of digital research, especially among collaborative teams. Open Science Notebooks will also begin to exert an influence. In order to win funding, I suspect that the Digital Data Collaboration and Curation plans will quickly escalate - and if PIs expect to keeping winning funding, those plans will have to actually deliver. If all the research data is digital, then it is a short enough step to applying digital analysis tools to it. I have already had the 'data management plan' conversation with colleagues making funding applications, who are now recruiting Phd researchers who will take our Data Curation modules next year but will never think of themselves as DH.

Although Academia tries quite hard to make you create an account before you read the article, you can read it without logging in by clicking on “Read Paper” at the bottom of the screen. 2. A link to a Google blog. The link was incorrect. Try http://scholarlydigitaleditions.blogspot.ca/2013/07/why-digital-humanists-should-get-out-of.html.

This is becoming more and more true. All disciplines cannot avoid any more going digital and in the long run they shall become all digital. So, what's the consequence ? Either DH relegate themselves to an ancillary role, or they should become more self-aware of their theoretical import. Hence we are back to the relationship between methods and computation or, to say it differently, back to "humanities computing"—a cross-disciplinary, and/or discipline-specific information science based on computational methodologies. Otherwise the "big tent" won't be a map anymore, gradually extending itself—as it's becoming apparent from the last DH conferences—to overlap the entire territory.

I recall the afternoon in the archive when I first unfolded one of the large format plates interleaved perpendicularly into a copy of The Natural History of Jamaica (1725) by the British physician Hans Sloane and watched a palm tree grow sideways out of the book. This fantastic remnant of the dream enterprise of colonization takes the form of a condensed surprise. To swing open this relatively gigantic plate is to be confronted by the sensation of mixed emotion, the complicity of pleasure and disgust. To unfold the palm tree plate is to be confronted by the materializing aesthetic prospect of palms forcibly proliferated to signify boundary and property in their use as "natural fences" and its enfolding with conflicting dreams for the production of a paradise in the tropics, and countercolonial knowledges and practices not entirely contained by the textual and planting apparatus of imperial landscaping. from Sowing Empire: Landscape and Colonization by Jill H.

The long delay in recognising this important fact (Ugarit parallels with Homeric epic) was due to the circumstance that Semitists, and not Classicists, deciphered and interpreted the Ugaritic tablets. Those Semitists were admirably equipped for pointing out biblical parallels, but most of them were unconcerned about the Greek side of the problem. Cyrus H.

This is "Neoliberal Tools (and Archives): A Political History of Digital Humanities" by Daniel Allington, Sarah Brouillette and David Golumbia (https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/neoliberal-tools-archives-political-history-digital-humanities/). The political realm is by choice (here affirmed) not where I play; for what it is worth my academy would require all those who enter to leave politics at the door. Were I writing such an article (which I cannot without setting aside the work I live to do) I'd describe that eagerness for collaboration with The Man, who is most assuredly a political animal, in rather different terms, as due to the academic's profound anxiety over the raison d'être of the scholarly life. I'd look to the very anxious roots of "impact". I'd make sure to say, this is how things look in the country in which I am living. Though my own institution (King's College London) has made great strides in getting the digital humanities to grow a bit -- without compromising to any degree I've been able to observe the intellectual integrity of the work done here -- I would not presume to designate it as the place crucial to how the field is now, and mention it a dozen and a half times. If only we here were that important :-). Perhaps it is time to reread Richard Hofstadter's famous article, "The Paranoid Style in American Politics", in The Paranoid Style in American Politics and Other Essays (Harvard University Press, 1965, pp. 3-40), rpt from Harper's Magazine, November 1964, pp. 77-86 (http://www.micciacorta.it/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Hofstadter-1996-Paranoid-Style-American-Politics-1-to-40.pdf). I strongly recommend reading the final paragraph at least. Note that Hofstadter recognises the phenomenon he is writing about as international. Comments?

If one does not agree with the authors'point of view--as I don't, at least not with its oddly uncritical understanding of what it means to be 'critical', the essay offers a coherent narrative. Whether DH is a good thing or a bad thing or whether it is in fact any onte thing at all, is something that I'm supposed to give a talk about a Calgary a month from now, and I must confess that I'm grateful to the three authors for their polemical survey of the field--a little like Stanley Fish's trilogy in the New York a few years ago, but very different in other respects. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 2 May 2016 09:34:23 -0400 From: Don Braxton Subject: Anti-DH In-Reply-To: <20160502065816.EFFAA23A6@digitalhumanities.org> Cyrus and Others: I read the article with both interest and ambiguity. First, I would suggest that you are playing into their game (and it is a game) by saying you prefer to leave politics at the door. The assumption of their argument is that everything is political including the desire to, or actual performance of, trying to disengage with the political. That will be read as a neoliberal conspiracy that just makes their point. You are an easily diagnosed exemplar of the neoliberal attempt to pretend DH is neutral and a hidden supporter of a (hidden?) political agenda. Second, the argument is both more and less than what it seems. It is more than what it seems in the sense that it is a conspiracy theory that is totalizing in nature. It is colonial in the sense that it seeks to take command of all intellectual territory, to place all culture in fact within their own "historically situated" projects. The project reeks of tautology. It is less than it seems in that it takes a relatively banal observation - all scholarship takes place within a social-political context and therefore has political consequences. My reaction is quite frankly "no s--- Sherlock". It attempts to build mountains out of molehills. Third, I see no reason not to say that I am indeed a member of the liberal democratic tradition. I regard technology as a tool of powerful consequences. But technology always enables and disables, and the politics of its deployment in society comes from the purposes for which it is designed. There is nothing inherently oppressive or liberational in the technology itself but rather it can facilitate oppression or liberation on the basis of how, when, and where it is deployed. Surely, DH representatives are fully aware of this when they ruminate about the Digital-Haves and the Digital-Have-Nots, or when it looks at phenomena like the Twitter-dominated Arab Spring and or the issues associated with surveillance/privacy applications. Fourth, there is an elitism in the notion that the desire to produce useful applications for a wider audience than the academy is a form of selling-out. It tacitly advocates that real scholarship is in the first order for us in the academy and secondly only by us in the real humanities. It is therefore highly conservative and anti-democratic. My politics leads me to be highly suspicious of any anti-democratic and paternalistic views of the role of the true scholar in society. Given the circularity of the argument and its totalizing tendency, if you are in for a dime you are in for a dollar. So I simply turn the question back on them and inquire into their conspiracy theory and whether it is adequate to the full diversity of DH practice. I then discover that It is quite superficial in my humble opinion. But to even do that will mean that you will be caught in an engagement with them. Thus, perhaps the best strategy is to simply ignore them. They seek to be a squeaky wheel in search of more oil. I am often disinclined to be pulled into the endless pit of turning everything into identity politics. But if any readers are so inclined, have at it. I don't think you will exit the engagement with any satisfactory outcomes other than feeling dirty from the exchange.

Meadows" Subject: job for a Web/Graphics Designer The Center for Digital Humanities at Princeton University is hiring a contract Web/Graphics Designer to work on the Princeton and Slavery Digital Archive. Position to begin immediately. The Princeton and Slavery digital archive and research environment will invite users to explore the impact and legacy of slavery at Princeton University. It will include information on students, faculty, slaves, former slaves, and their descendants, and it will tell a story encoded in the landscape and heritage of the campus, its buildings, monuments, and traditions. Drawing on a dynamic database of primary sources, interpretive exhibits, maps, timelines, and other features, the site will allow users to visualize and analyze the intimate relationship between Princeton and America’s “peculiar institution.” As a platform for teaching, research, and public debate, the site will contribute to broader discussions about slavery and universities, and it will explore how these two institutions worked together to construct, and to continue to shape, the modern world. Responsibilities include: designing and implementing a modern, mobile-friendly theme for an existing Omeka database, developing a coherent graphic design in consultation with project leads, improving the visual flow of individual Omeka exhibits, incorporating a site-specific logo and appropriate images and fonts. To apply, please send: CV/Resume, recent portfolio of work, and estimated project timeline and cost to Sarah Meadows (sm34@princeton.edu).

The studentship is linked to a Leverhulme Trust project which started in 2015 called “Geospatial Innovation in the Digital Humanities: A Deep Map of the Lake District” (http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/lakesdeepmap/) awarded to Dr Paul Rayson (School of Computing and Communications), Professor Ian Gregory (History), Professor Sally Bushell (English and Creative Writing) and Dr Christopher Donaldson (English Literature, University of Birmingham). Overall, the Leverhulme Trust project is developing new understandings of the literary and cultural geographies of one of Britain’s most significant cultural landscapes, the English Lake District, by applying ground-breaking, exploratory geographical methods to the interdisciplinary research field of the spatial humanities (http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/spatialhum/). Bringing together researchers with complementary expertise in computer science, geographic information science (GISc), literary studies, and regional history, the project will create a step change in the way scholars engage with the geographies that inform regional identity and sense of place. If your application is successful, you will join the UCREL research centre and based within the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, and be co-supervised by Dr Paul Rayson and Professor Ian Gregory. You will work within a long standing interdisciplinary team linking corpus-based natural language processing research with the spatial humanities. Topic: The core of the PhD will be to develop a prototype deep map (envisaged as an intuitive, open-access web tool) that allows a range of user-groups to gain new understandings of the importance of space and place to Lake District heritage. Its core source will be the Corpus of Lake District writing – over 1.5 million words from texts written between 1622-1900 from which place-names have been extracted and geo-located. Deep mapping offers a new way to approach, understand and analyse the relationship between geography, history and literature through a variety of media that allows for full exploration of multiple layers of meaning in relation to the object of study. The first question the thesis will explore is what new research processes are supported by the affordances of interactive deep map methods that combine spatial analysis, natural language processing (NLP) and corpus linguistics techniques? Second, how does one present this information to a wide range of user-groups in ways that make it accessible and understandable? Third, which interactive visualisation techniques best support these different user-groups? The user-groups in question include in particular: (1) scholars of literature, history, human geography and other subjects with an interest in the Lake District; (2) students studying these subjects; (3) the wider public including tourists and the local community and particularly organisations that serve these groups including museums and galleries, local heritage societies, the National Park Authority and Tourist Information Centres. We have good links to these organisations through Lancaster’s Regional Heritage Centre. Academic Requirements: you must have an excellent degree in Computer Science, or closely related field. Experience of an MSc project in NLP, HCI, or any related area is desirable but not a requirement. Funding: the Scholarship provides tuition fees (or partial fee waiver for overseas students) for a duration of 3 years; an annual stipend of £14,000. Application Instructions: closing date for formal application is 31 May 2016 via the Postgraduate Admissions Portal (please mention this role when applying): http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/scc/postgraduate/postgraduate-research/scholarships/ http://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/ANN068/phd-studentship/ Potential applicants should email to Paul Rayson (p.rayson@lancaster.ac.uk) or Ian Gregory (i.gregory@lancaster.ac.uk) for informal advice. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 17:16:41 +0000 From: Alyssa Arbuckle Subject: Call for PostDoc applications: Understanding the societal impact of research through social media The Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing is soliciting applications for a postdoctoral fellowship on a SSHRC-funded project entitled “Understanding the societal impact of research through social media.” As the communication of research increasingly takes place on social media platforms, there is enormous potential to capture and analyze digital traces left by scholars. This offers, for the first time, the opportunity to study—using both quantitative and qualitative methods—the processes of knowledge dissemination and co-creation between academia and the public. Taking advantage of this opportunity, this project asks: What is the nature and extent of societal impact of research that can be observed through the public’s engagement with research on social media? Led by Juan Pablo Alperin http://alperin.ca/ (Simon Fraser University), the team brings together the two main poles of research on scholarly communication in Canada: the Public Knowledge Project (PKP) and the Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing at Simon Fraser University, as well as the Canada Research Chair on the Transformations of Scholarly Communication at the Université de Montréal (Stefanie Haustein and Vincent Larivière). Collaborators also include the UQAM Research Chair on Digital Technologies Uses and Changes in Communication (Florence Millerand) and the Simon Fraser University School of Communication (Katherine Reilly). Target start date: July 1st, 2016 (flexible) Duration: one year, renewable Salary: Commensurate with experience Location: Simon Fraser University, Canada (Downtown Vancouver Campus) Deadline for applications: Open until filled. For full consideration, apply by June 1st, 2016 Applicants should send a CV, cover letter, statement of research interest (1 page), as well as the names and contact information of 2 references to Dr. Juan Pablo Alperin (juan@alperin.ca). -- Alyssa Arbuckle (B.A. Hons, M.A.) Assistant Director, Research Partnerships & Development Electronic Textual Cultures Lab | University of Victoria alyssaarbuckle.com http://alyssaarbuckle.com | @arbuckle_alyssa _______________________________________________ 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 BC99A23E6; Thu, 5 May 2016 07:46:10 +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 DFE8523E1; Thu, 5 May 2016 07:46:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BC52C23E1; Thu, 5 May 2016 07:46:07 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160505054607.BC52C23E1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 07:46:07 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.916 DH2016 news: early-bird deadline approaching!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 4 May 2016 10:12:18 -0500 From: Stephen Weldon Subject: Digital History and Philosophy of Science Conference -- Norman -- August 26-28 In-Reply-To: Here is a slightly revised version of the description of the conference that we are hosting this coming August. I encourage scholars who have digital projects in the field to consider attending this conference. The Digital HPS Consortium http://digitalhps.org/ is holding its annual conference from *Friday morning August 26, through Sunday morning August 28, 2016* at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. Conference title: "Varieties of Digital HPS: How Do We Make Unique Projects Survive in a Networked and Evolving Environment?" Conference Theme: As we move further into the networked digital age, scholars are creating new types of digital scholarship with extraordinarily varied methods, structures, and presentations. When taken together, the richness of these diverse projects is extraordinary. Unlike traditional published works, however, many of these projects go unnoticed and often shut down for lack of support. The challenge of the current moment is to build greater stability into the digital space by making projects more visible (discoverability), by providing better ways for unique projects to interact and talk to each other (interconnectivity), and by finding archival spaces that will prevent projects from simply disappearing (sustainability). The *Digital HPS Consortium* is holding this conference to encourage scholars who have unique projects to talk about these difficulties. Questions to be considered: How can we make a more permanent and stable home for our digital work? How can we encourage uniqueness but also pay attention to standards and protocols? How can we build longevity into these projects? Papers dealing with all types of digital projects in the history and philosophy of science are welcome. The meeting will conclude with a focused, practical discussion about building a general framework for cooperation. All meetings will take place in Bizzell Memorial Library on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. Please go to *Norman 2016 dHPS meeting information *for more information on the conference venue. Free registration for the meeting can be found here:* http://dhps2016.eventbrite.com http://dhps2016.eventbrite.com . *At the registration site, you can enter your suggestion for a paper, if you desire to make a presentation. Register early as space is limited. *Registration deadline is May 31, 2016*. _______________________________________________ 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 2320B23EF; Thu, 5 May 2016 07:50:47 +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 67D6223DA; Thu, 5 May 2016 07:50:43 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3DFD323E3; Thu, 5 May 2016 07:50:37 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160505055038.3DFD323E3@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 07:50:37 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 29.918 pubs: ancient traditions; old views; classics outside the echo chamber 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: <20160505055046.31425.81110@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 29, No. 918.

Please share far and wide! Deadline to submit abstracts is June 10. Full details http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2016 All best, Élika (on behalf of the organizing committee) Places, Spaces, Sites: Mapping Critical Intersections in Digital Humanities ------------------------------ The 2016 DH Forum will take place on Saturday, October 1, following a full day of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on Friday, September 30. *Paper proposals are due Friday, June 10.* ------------------------------ Notions of place, space, and site are theorized and put into practice in distinct ways across various academic fields. Spatial technologies and location services and tools, along with the rise of geo-humanities work, are bringing the tensions among ideas of place, space, and site to the surface. Moreover, a turn towards internationalization and the global has been taking place in Digital Humanities scholarship and practice, further complicating our notions of space and place. Digital Humanities has the capacity to bring these tensions together in both conflicting and harmonious ways. The 2016 DH Forum seeks to explore the intersections, mutual critiques and/or coincidences among fields, and their practices and conceptual tenets. Place in Digital Humanities has largely been explored in terms of its relevance or pertinence in departments, on campuses, in classrooms, in libraries, etc. In a global perspective, places can be viewed as sites of distinct academic practice (DH and otherwise), influenced by geopolitical, linguistic and social asymmetries, colonial histories, and neocolonial exploitation. The web, virtual spaces of collaboration, and online communities are reinventing and complicating our understanding of space and our place in the world. Furthermore, various notions surrounding the ideas of place, space, and site are at the center of the geo-spatial turn seen in many areas of Digital Humanities. Still, what place, space, and site are remains subject to deeper reflection and articulation, even more so as their traditional definitions intersect with the digital. What are the implications of digital media and forms of data collection and encoding place/space/site? What are the challenges posed by historical notions of place/space/site to current thinking and technologies? Places/spaces/sites have overlapping physical, symbolic, affective, cultural, political, or metaphorical dimensions--how do spatial technologies help or hinder how we interrogate and represent them? What is the role of networked technologies to delineate, imagine, and create places/spaces? How does place determine our place in the world? What is the impact of race, gender and gender expression, age, able bodiedness and disability, language, ethnicity, and geopolitics on ideas of place/space/site? Does a place/site exist in a world we perceive to be in constant movement? How do notions of the local and the global complicate our thinking about place/space/site? We welcome proposals on projects, research results, or critical/theoretical approaches that address such questions. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: - Locative and spatial narratives - Location aware technologies - Migration and refugee digital studies - Border digital studies - Local/global uses of digital media - DH infrastructure and practice in global/local contexts - Commemorative sites, collective memory and the digital humanities - Online communities - Placemaking - Community building - Digital archaeology - Methodologies for analyzing unstructured data in a spatial context - Virtual worlds - Recreations of historical and fictional places/spaces - Indigenous, queer, and/or feminist mapping strategies or projects - GIS and historical GIS applications in the humanities ------------------------------ *DH Forum Student Showcase:* We encourage graduate students to submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. Up to three of the student presentations will be selected for a Student Showcase based on the quality, originality, clarity of the written abstracts, along with their alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The presenters will be awarded $200 each at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the showcase and 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 500 word abstracts in PDF format to idrh@ku.edu by June 10, 2016.* --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 23:30:12 +0000 From: Andrew Russell Subject: THATCamp Pedagogy workshop June 21st (right before SHOT Singapore) Hello Everyone, I hope to see many of you in June in Singapore and wanted to let you know that the registration page for the THATCamp (The Humanities and Technology Camp) "unconference" on pedagogy is up and functional. We have started to collect session proposals and are looking forward to a chance to collaborate and create together informally before the official conference begins. Please note that since this is an unconference, no one will be giving papers here, but rather facilitating discussion and collaboration. Don't be shy if you don't consider yourself an "expert" - enthusiasm and willingness to work with others is what counts. The workshop is free (and there will be food) and hosted at Singapore University of Technology and Design. There will be a shuttle from the main conference venues, and getting there on your own via public transit or taxi is also easy. To register go here: http://shot2016.thatcamp.org/register/ Once you have an account you can add a session idea as a comment on the front page. Don't hesitate to contact me with any ideas or questions, best, Ellan (efs8@mit.edu) -- E.F.
