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.

Thanks Willard to open my eyes, I was not, in any case, wanted to say that it is bad... I have shared it in my Facebook and Pinterest and emailed to friends and talked about it to a client - I was amazed by the size and the scope of the project (literally all English written ever) so I was using this word, but I meant good! If anyone was offended by my language glitch please forgive me - I meant the opposite as it, I understand now, sound.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 04 Jul 2015 16:45:47 +1000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: growing it in different soils One question that began to preoccupy me at the recent Digital Humanities 2015 conference in Sydney was the growth of the discipline in different cultures and places. 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?
