As we mark birthdays, this is its 29th birthday, but as you will see in the following message, some think it's time to celebrate. How time passes, if that it what it does, whatever it is. We all know that different kinds of biological creatures live their lives at different rates, dogs as I recall at seven times the rate of us humans. Our technological creatures because of technological progress, metaphorically speaking, live out their lives at a very fast rate indeed, though not as fast as insects. Social institutions tend to develop very slowly in relation to ourselves and to last a very long time. But then we have the liberty of constructing their continuity in retrospect. We calculate the 'life' of the library in millennia, for example. So where does this leave Humanist, a mixture of biologically based activity, technological means and social institution? Humanist began, as some here will know already, in order to bring a few people, scattered around the world but mostly in N America and the UK, together to serve as a common does in a small village and to do this well. (At the time this meant publishing messages without typos, spelling errors and messed-up formatting.) It was then almost the only such thing available. But as other services, e.g. personal blogs and Twitter, have come online its most important function to my mind, perhaps now more obviously than before, is to raise and discuss substantive questions about the developing nature of digital humanities, the epistemology of computing, its social effects and the like and how these draw on and contribute to the older disciplines. An example might help here. Recently, commenting on the text of a lecture I've just finished, an friend of mine wrote back to say, > on the difficult topic of intuition, Aristotle, usually a stickler > for the straight and narrow, makes a point about quickwittedness > (agchinoia), that it is a sort of ability to hit the mark (eustochia) > (Nicomachean Ethics 1142b5ff.). This ability turns out to be a matter > of spotting the similarity in things that are far apart, he adds > 'even in philosophy', i.e. not just in poetry and rhetoric (Rhetoric > 1412a9ff). Like really good metaphor it is not a skill that can be > learnt (Poetics 1459a5, Rhetoric 1405a9f.). That does not tell us > which analogies/metaphors/resemblances are the good ones. But it is > striking that Aristotle, the arch deductivist, recognises their > power. He is still talking about humans of course and he has no > models of machines that would enable him to take your computers on > board. But insofar as these passages see analogising as the key, he > opens the door to a dialogue with you, as it seems to me. and to a dialogue between us and the philosophers interested in such matters. What does it mean to take computers on board in the light of such questions? The Humanist common remains despite the pull of the older disciplines on activities with computing that happen to concern them in particular. Sometimes I wonder if and sometimes am certain that colleagues in those disciplines (unlike my friend) simply don't see that what concerns them mutatis mutandis concerns everyone, and that its particular form in this or that discipline tells us all something important about digital epistemology, anthropology, sociology or whatever. Will it turn out to be that a small band of interdisciplinary raiders continues to have far too much work to do merely in gathering together insights from across the disciplines? Perhaps I should not, especially on Humanist's birthday, be complaining. Being such a raider is what I enjoy most. But in the course of an ordinary life birthdays rather soon become occasions on which the fact of mortality is hard to avoid. Usually the upcoming 30th marks the end of youth, the beginning of serious maturity, when people (such as parents) begin to wonder out loud when you're going to settle down, have children, buy a house, get a mortgage etc. I think the anti-DH sentiment recently marked here might well be interpreted as just such a sharp parental question. At least sometimes if not often this question has the odour of a death-sentence. Personally I think we should answer it on behalf of Humanist and the field it stands for by enacting a plan for becoming differently, more interestingly, more intelligently wild. Happy birthday to us all! Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 5 May 2016 16:01:26 +0000 From: Andrew Prescott Subject: Significant event Dear Willard, Greetings from Rome via a very flaky internet connection to congratulate you and Humanist on a significant event on 7 May, when the Humanist numbering system will flick over to 30, signifying that Humanist is entering its thirtieth year of operation, moving towards its thirtieth birthday on 7 May 2017. Thirty years of a daily stream of thought-provoking, entertaining, intellectually rigorous, informative and useful postings is an amazing achievement. Humanist has played a fundamental role in the emergence of the digital humanities and has shown how new technologies can enable new disciplinary alignments. Some of Humanist's admirers have been plotting to mark Humanist's achievement, and we cannot think of a better way of doing so than as part of the U.K. National festival of the humanities, 'Being Human', which takes place this year from 17-25 November 2016. Professor Jane Winters of the School of Advanced Study at the University of London and I will be organising an event during the festival to mark Humanist’s tyhirtieth year of operation, and further details will be given here when the programme for the festival is announced. We will be producing a digital representation of the event, which wil be linked back to material from the Humanist annals, and will be made available on Humanist’s 30th birthday in 2017. In the meantime, Willard and Humanist, here's a Peroni beer toast to your wonderful achievement.

Technologies can be great boons or severe limitations. The world of information is enlarged or shrunk depending on the availability, scope and distribution of services. Just as influential are geo-political location and a funding climate. Not all sectors and, in fact, not all populations enjoy equal influence and benefits. Concerns about access, sustainability and preservation affect and often determine the content, media and technology housed within libraries and archives. The social construction of knowledge and information behaviour emerge as key ways of understanding the changing roles of libraries and archives as meeting, creating and thinking spaces. The internet conference will explore these suggestive themes by attending to a central question: what are the implications for public life? Background The Around the World forum, organized for the fourth time this year, is an experiment that brings together scholars from around the globe to talk about digital culture without the environmental cost of traditional conferences. Institutes and researchers are invited to participate either through presenting or by joining in the discussion. The conference is live-streamed world-wide and archived after the event.

There will be exciting program on June 16, two vastly promising invited talks and seven regular presentation which cut a nicely wide swath through our diverse area of interest. Do visit the workshop Web site: https://sites.google.com/site/clfl2016/ You will find the schedule there, a link to the draft proceedings (on the home page), and more on the invited speakers. In a nutshell: Patrick Winston from MIT will tell us about the role of stories in human intelligence, and about the Genesis story-understanding system. Loss Pequeño Glazier from SUNY Buffalo will introduce us to array poetics: how to use computer-generated groupings of natural language strings to explore new resonances of poetic space. We *so* look forward to seeing you in San Diego.

From demographic reconstructions to onomastical researches and from networks analyses to prosopography and familial micro-history, ancient people are a constant and continuous source of inspiration. Today, more than ever, by employing digital methods and online resources, the study of ancient people is evolving greatly, in new and exciting directions. As part of the project Romans 1by1 (romans1by1.com), the Centre for Roman Studies of the University of Cluj-Napoca organizes a 3-days conference focused on the population(s) of the ancient world. Our aim is to bring together scholars interested in the research of ancient population from a variety of fields, dealing with the matter from different perspectives. We support any subject related to ancient population and encourage all approaches, inviting proposals for an interdisciplinary conference. Although our focus will be on the Graeco-Roman world, our interest is not restricted to this area. We are especially, but not exclusively, interested in: 1) Theories and methodologies of population research for the ancient world 2) Onomastics, naming practices and name interpretation 3) Network studies and groups’ reconstruction 4) Differences in the research of the elites and the non-elites. Work and labour in the ancient world 5) Ancient population databases: present work, future directions 6) Social interaction between the local population and foreigners Abstracts (max. 300 words) for 15-20 minutes presentations can be submitted at the conference address, romans1by1@gmail.com, until 15th of June 2016. Notification of acceptance will be given by 1st of July 2016. We strongly encourage submissions from post-graduate and post-doctoral researchers. The official language of the conference will be English, but in special cases we can also accept presentations in other languages.

Practitioners and researchers are encouraged to exchange ideas and approaches on how to adopt a quality culture in ICT process and product improvement, to provide evidence of best practices and report practical studies in varying contexts related to ICT Quality. You can find further information on QUATIC, namely regarding past editions, scientific impact, indexation and other highlights, on the conference series page at: http://www.quatic.org/lists/lt.php?id=Y0tWTlIAHwIAA1Jc ---------------------------------------------------------------- PAPERS SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION INFO ---------------------------------------------------------------- Deadline: May 15, 2016 Paper size: up to 6 pages, 2 columns, IEEE proceedings format. (note: best papers will be awarded extra size, up to 10 pages in the camera-ready version) QUATIC proceedings are published by IEEE CPS and we expect that, as in previous editions, they will be indexed by IEEEXplore, Scopus (Elsevier), ISI WoS (Thomson-Reuters), ACM Digital Library, and DBLP. The American Society for Quality has partnered with QUATIC in the publication of special issues in the Software Quality Professional journal. ---------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRAM PREVIEW ---------------------------------------------------------------- THEMATIC TRACKS: The first part of the technical program will be organized on a series of Thematic Tracks, each corresponding to a specialized topic, whose program is selected by a program committee of experts on that topic, thus ensuring a focused review exercise that will provide an optimized feedback to authors and will guarantee the quality of the final program. These tracks will run in parallel in a workshop-like fashion and are the following: - Quality Aspects in Requirements Engineering (chair: Maria Lencastre, Univ. Pernanbuco) - Quality Aspects in Model Driven Engineering (chair: Marjan Mernik, Univ. Maribor) - Quality Aspects in Agile Methods (chair: Joao M. Fernandes, U.Minho) - Quality Aspects in Process Improvement and Assessment (chair: Karol Frühauf, INFOGEM) - Quality Aspects in Verification and Validation (chair: Gianluca Mezzetti, Univ. Aarhus) - Quality Aspects in Software Engineering using Evidence-Based Approaches (chair: Sheila Reinehr, UCPR) - Quality Aspects in Big Data Systems (chair: Monica Wachowicz, Univ. New Brunswick)) - Quality Aspects in Safety Critical Systems (chair: Marion Lepmets, Dundalk IT) - Quality Aspects in Service Management (chair: Natalia Kryvinska, Univ. Wien) ------------------ MAIN TRACK: This track will occur after all technical tracks are over and will include keynote speeches and the presentation of the best papers from each track, so that all QUATIC participants can enjoy them. This track will also include lively panels on hot topics. Two keynotes are already confirmed, to be delivered by Joost Visser and Michaela Greiler. Joost Visser is head of research at the Software Improvement Group (SIG) in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, a consultancy company that audits software systems and provides advice on aspects such as how to reduce their maintenance cost or improve their energy efficiency. He is also a Professor of “Large-Scale Software Systems” at the Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands. He recently co-authored the book "Building Maintainable Software - Ten Guidelines for Future-Proof Code”. His work on maintainability metrics is the most widely cited paper from all those ever presented at the QUATIC conference. Michaela Greiler is a researcher at Microsoft, where she support product teams including Office, Windows, Exchange to optimize their software development processes. Michaela especially focuses on optimizing effectiveness of product-wide testing and code reviewing activities. Before working at Microsoft, Michaela developed several reverse engineering techniques and tools for large and complex software systems to help developers understand complex code, especially test code. ------------------ PARALLEL EVENTS: - SEDES This parallel event will bring together Software Engineering PhD students to present and discuss their work with a panel of professors and experts on the field. - Business Day This event aims at fostering the dissemination of best practices and to allow a lively discussion of hot topics and quality concerns in specific application domains. During the Business Day conference sponsors will share their knowledge and promote hands-on contact with new tools.

We are looking to represent the breadth of research in crowdsourcing, including the work produced by the Humanist community. Website: http://www.humancomputation.com/2016 Follow us on Twitter: @hcomp_conf Full papers are due on June 7th, 2016, with abstracts due on May 31st. See details below. In addition to full papers, HCOMP will offer many other ways to participate, including workshops, a doctoral consortium, a demos and “works-in-progress” track, an industry/practitioner track, and an all-new "Encore Track" in which authors of papers recently published elsewhere can request to give an encore presentation of their papers at HCOMP 2016. Calls for these events will follow in June, though early details are at http://www.humancomputation.com/2016/participate.html. Call for Full Papers - Extended Deadline HCOMP strongly believes in inviting and fostering broad, interdisciplinary research on crowdsourcing and human computation. Submissions may present principles, studies, and/or applications of systems that rely on programmatic interaction with crowds, or where human perception, knowledge, reasoning, or physical activity and coordination contributes to the operation of computational systems, applications, or services. More generally, we invite submissions from the broad spectrum of related fields and application areas including (but not limited to): - human-centered crowd studies: e.g., human-computer interaction, social computing, design, cognitive and behavioral sciences (psychology and sociology), management science, economics, policy, ethics, etc. - applications and algorithms: e.g., computer vision, cultural heritage, databases, digital humanities, information retrieval, machine learning, natural language (and speech) processing, optimization, programming languages, systems, etc. - crowdsourcing areas: e.g., citizen science, collective action, collective knowledge, crowdsourcing contests, crowd creativity, crowdfunding, crowd ideation, crowd sensing, distributed work, freelancer economy, open innovation, microtasks, prediction markets, wisdom of crowds, etc. To ensure relevance, submissions are encouraged include research questions and contributions of broad interest to crowdsourcing and human computation, as well as discuss relevant open problems and prior work in the field. When evaluation is conducted entirely within a specific domain, authors are encouraged to discuss how findings might generalize to other communities and application areas using crowdsourcing and human computation. Full papers of up to 10 pages may be submitted. Full papers must represent original work, not previously published or under simultaneous peer-review for any other peer-reviewed, archival conference or journal. All papers must be anonymized (include no information identifying the authors or their institutions) for double-blind peer-review and formatted according to the conference's style guidelines. Accepted papers will be published in the HCOMP conference proceedings and included in the HCOMP Conference's Digital Archive. HCOMP is a young but quickly growing conference, with a historical acceptance rate of 30% for full papers. About HCOMP HCOMP is the premier venue for disseminating the latest research findings on crowdsourcing and human computation. While artificial intelligence (AI) and human-computer interaction (HCI) represent traditional mainstays of the conference, HCOMP believes strongly in inviting, fostering, and promoting broad, interdisciplinary research. This field is particularly unique in the diversity of disciplines it draws upon, and contributes to, ranging from human-centered qualitative studies and HCI design, to computer science and artificial intelligence, economics and the social sciences, all the way to cultural heritage, digital humanities, ethics, and policy. The HCOMP conference is aimed at promoting the exchange of advances in human computation and crowdsourcing among not only researchers, but also engineers and practitioners, to encourage dialogue across a spectrum of disciplines and communities of practice.

Ticket Price: £70.00 pp (Refreshments, lunch & wine reception included) Speakers and Chairs:  Dr Fenella France, Library of Congress, Washington, US (Keynote Speaker)  Prof Melissa Terras, Digital Humanities, UCL, London UK  Prof Matija Strlic, UCL Institute for Sustainable Heritage, London UK  Dr Roger Easton, Rochester Institute of Technology, US  Prof David Messinger, Rochester Institute of Technology, US  Prof Adam Gibson, Dept. Medical Physics and Bioengineering, UCL, UK  Mr David Howell, Oxford University, UK  Mr Ludo Snijder, Dept of Archaeology, Leiden University, Netherlands SEAHA Students: Ian Maybury, Hend Mahgoub, Cerys Jones. Conference Overview Multispectral/hyperspectral imaging is the process in which image data is captured at specific frequencies across the ultra violet (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. The imaging captures all the spatial and spectral data that can be seen within the field of view of the imaging device. This new set of virtual eyes gives users a more complete view of any type of reflecting material than the human eye alone. It can be used to reveal information about both the identity of objects (e.g. pigments, lichen, binder) and hidden text or pictorial information in built heritage as well as objects in a museum, a library, or a university. It also provides information about the chemical composition and concentration, effectively chemical imaging. The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Science and Engineering in Arts, Heritage and Archaeology (SEAHA) are proud to sponsor this one day symposium that brings together some of the world’s most experienced practitioners in the emerging technique of multispectral and hyperspectral imaging, alongside the cutting edge research that is being carried out by their students and partners. This impressive line-up of world class speakers will be sharing their experience and recent findings and showcasing the power of these techniques with dramatic discoveries and deep technical knowledge. This is an event not to be missed if you are an Imaging Scientist and Heritage professional keen to learn and share more about this exciting area of research. The event will include talks from a wide range of specialists in this field providing delegates the opportunity to ask any questions they may have and to learn how these techniques are being used to discover images that have never been seen before.

The college can be accessed by car but parking is limited to designated areas and is only available for a maximum of 3 hours. Parking restrictions exist in the roads adjacent to the college. Driving instructions and public transport options can be found at google.co.uk/maps.  Public Transport: The 500 Park and Ride bus service operates between the Water Eaton (Oxford Parkway) site (north of the ring road near Kidlington) and the City Centre. There is a stopping point on the northbound and southbound routes, on Banbury Road opposite the end of Linton Road (ask for the 'St Margaret's road stop'). It is approximately a five-minute walk from this junction to the College. ----------------- Melissa M.

A One-Day Conference & Masterclass Keynote Speakers: Prof. Bill Sherman, Director of Research and Collections, Victoria & Albert Museum, London Prof. Pat Buckridge, Griffith University, Nathan, Queensland Conference date: Friday 23 September. Venue: State Library of Victoria, Melbourne There are margins to both traditional print- and paper-based texts as well as virtual texts. Whatever text they surround, encompass, define or limit, margins are the spaces in which ideas are contested and debated. Historically, readers have used the physical margin as a space in which to respond to the voice of the author, and to communicate with other readers. As it has become increasingly easy to add marginal notes to virtual texts, and for readers to share their electronic marginalia with each other, scholars are able to scrutinise marginalia in new ways and to reconstruct social reading practices on an unprecedented scale. While contemporary and historical annotation practices have much in common, and there is much to be learned about historical practices from studies of contemporary marginalia, historical practices raise unique and challenging interpretative issues of their own. And, although a range of recent studies have increased our knowledge concerning the distribution and availability of books, the identity and diversity of readers and annotators, the spread and even the nature of literacy in the early modern and modern periods, there remain significant challenges for scholars encountering marginalia. This conference will investigate marginalia in texts from the early modern period to the present, with a particular focus on the interpretative challenges posed by marginalia in the literal margin—whether encountered directly, via digital surrogate or in mediated form. Topics may include: • Studies of historical marginalia and annotation • Theoretical models and methodological protocols for conceptualising marginalia • The reproduction of marginalia in virtual environments • The location and use of marginalia via digital surrogate • Studies of virtual marginalia that shed light on historical practices • Changing or limiting contemporary reader practices in virtual environments • Marginal notations as “signs of engagement” • The nature and interpretative challenges of pictures, doodles, stains and traces etc. • Interpretative issues posed by anonymous vs. celebrity marginalia • Particular annotators, or particular annotated texts • Marginalia as literary work • Commentary as writing, writing as commentary • Marginalia as (auto)biographical record or life writing • Annotation in combination with inter-leaving and grangerising It is anticipated that the papers from the conference will form the basis of an edited collection to be published by a quality academic press. Length of papers Papers will be twenty minutes each (with ten minutes for Q&A). Please send abstracts of 250–300 words to the convenors by 15 June: Dr. Patrick Spedding (Patrick.Spedding@monash.edu) Dr. Paul Tankard (paul.tankard@otago.ac.nz) To allow for delegates to make their travel plans and/or apply for funding in a timely fashion, proposals will be considered and confirmations issued as they come in. Masterclass: Prof. Bill Sherman will conduct a masterclass at the State Library of Victoria, using items from the Rare Books Collection to demonstrate some of the interpretative challenges that annotated material presents to scholars and librarians. Seating is limited.

For more information, please visit http://sentic.net/sentire RATIONALE Memory and data capacities double approximately every two years and, apparently, the Web is following the same rule. User-generated contents, in particular, are an ever-growing source of opinion and sentiments which are continuously spread worldwide through blogs, wikis, fora, chats and social networks. The distillation of knowledge from such sources is a key factor for applications in fields such as commerce, tourism, education and health, but the quantity and the nature of the contents they generate make it a very difficult task. Due to such challenging research problems and wide variety of practical applications, opinion mining and sentiment analysis have become very active research areas in the last decade. Our understanding and knowledge of the problem and its solution are still limited as natural language understanding techniques are still pretty weak. Most of current research in sentiment analysis, in fact, merely relies on machine learning algorithms. Such algorithms, despite most of them being very effective, produce no human understandable results such that we know little about how and why output values are obtained. All such approaches, moreover, rely on syntactical structure of text, which is far from the way 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 paper length is limited to 10 pages, including references, diagrams, and appendices, if any. However, please note that page 9 and 10 are considered extra (and, hence, charged) in the final submission. Manuscripts are to be submitted through CyberChair. Each submitted paper will be evaluated by three PC members with respect to its novelty, significance, technical soundness, presentation, and experiments. Accepted papers will be published in IEEE ICDM proceedings. Selected, expanded versions of papers presented at the workshop will be invited to a forthcoming Special Issue of Cognitive Computation on opinion mining and sentiment analysis.

MCG's UKMW16: Stories for the public; stories for the sector. UKMW16 will be held at the Wellcome Collection in London on 19 October 2016. There are lots of interesting ways to tell stories for (and with) the public - games; virtual and augmented reality; in-gallery interpretation; social media; transmedia storytelling; chat bots; apps; in-person theatre; broadcasts and plain old websites... We want to hear what works, who you worked with, and what you learned along the way. We also want to share stories for the sector, especially small stories about successes. What have you learnt that'll help others working with technology, museums or cultural heritage? You’ve may already know what others struggle with and ideas that they find helpful, but some suggestions are: * Solutions for financially self-sustaining products and projects * Moving from 'projects' to 'programmes' * Figuring out and applying techniques like service design, agile projects, A/B testing * Productivity tools and tips that work in your organisation * Managing up - helping trustees, directors and funders understand the digital * Finding ways to keep up with news of constantly changing technology * Balancing ethics and the lure of 'big data' * 'Robots and digital curation will eat our jobs!' But what actually happens next? * Making tendering processes work for you * Getting beyond the catalogue in sharing collections online and making digital collections meaningful * Making infrastructure and accessibility sexy (at least sexy enough to get funding) * All museum jobs are digital. Now what? UKMW attracts speakers from some of the most innovative museums, agencies and university programmes in the world. We're keen to hear from practitioners, researchers, funders, and more. The conference programme will include long and short presentations, and you can suggest a length to suit your topic in the proposal form below. All submitted papers will be reviewed by experts in the field. We're keen to have a mixture of old and new voices, and have a great track record in presenting a diverse range of speakers. We've started a profit-sharing scheme in acknowledgement of the resources required to attend and present at events, and can provide some bursaries for speakers who would benefit from assistance with funds for travel, childcare etc. Please also read our Guidance for Speakers http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/meetings/guidance-for-speakers/ before submitting your proposal. Our events have a code of conduct http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/meetings/mcg-event-code-of-conduct/ .

MCG events are an opportunity to learn from experts and peers, and like many others, this event’s theme was partly inspired by discussion on our practitioners’ list. Our events have an excellent track record for featuring a range of emerging and eminent speakers presenting on topics that matter to you now. Come prepared to challenge speakers, ask questions and network in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. We will also host an evening event open to all so you can continue the conversations started during the day.

In widely-circulated advertisements from the 1840s, 50s, and 60s, the publishers of Scientific American lauded the paper’s “interesting, valuable, and useful information” for readers. Many nineteenth-century editors agreed, and columns from Scientific American were among the most widely-reprinted in the period, along with a plethora of related recipes, household tips, listicles, and columns of practical knowledge that promised to be of immediate use to readers. While individually such pieces might seem ephemeral to modern readers, when considered as a corpus—and tracked across space and time—they contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of everyday reading and writing during the nineteenth-century. Computationally-derived bibliographies of “information literature” allow us to ask what kinds of scientific knowledge “went viral”—to borrow a modern term—among nineteenth-century readers, and what might these pieces tell us about the priorities of readers and editors? What “information literature” spread beyond national borders? How did nineteenth-century newspaper exchanges foster a more diffuse (but possibly less robust) understanding of science and technology among the public? You can also follow the discussion via @IHRDigHist or #dhist. As always, you are welcome to join us in the pub to continue the conversation over drinks and food.

The event will be streamed live from the newly-opened David Rumsey Map Center in the Green Library on the Stanford University campus. Author Nicholas Bauch will showcase his groundbreaking work that expands our collective understanding and appreciation of one of our greatest natural landmarks -- the Grand Canyon. "Enchanting the Desert," the pilot project in SUP'™s Mellon-funded digital publishing initiative, enriches Henry Peabody's 1905 slideshow of the Grand Canyon by using complex GIS mapping overlays and virtual recreations of the Canyon'™s topography. Peabody's images were formative for today'™s experience of the Canyon, as the views shown on his slides have become the vista points of today's national park. Eighty essays accompany the historic slideshow, exploring the history and geography of the landmark. Through his skillful interplay of subject matter and technical features, Bauch raises and answers questions only a digital-born project could make possible and reveals a hidden geography of a landmark that has come to define the American West.

In effect a number of us from my generation (and from ones that followed) went through such training as a matter of food-on-the-table necessity. However resentful I was then, subsequently I have come greatly to appreciate what I learned from speaking to academics across the disciplines and helping them to figure out what computers could do for their research. I have often thought since then that the right way to receive such training (which I think is essential to a concentration in digital humanities) would be through a 3 to 5-year postdoctoral fellowship. Administrations move slowly -- and that is in many respects a good thing. But what if they didn't in this case? Has anyone thought or even acted along similar lines?

Examples of such mergers include e.g. Intelligent Transport Systems (ICT, transport telematics, traffic engineering), electric vehicles (ICT, automotive, power supply), e-health (ICT, medicine) and, perhaps ultimately, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS; ICT and pretty much everything else). For CPSs, hard requirements on e.g. reliability and response times imply that often technologies will need to be co-developed (as opposed to be integrated ex-post). Such co-development will require very close co-operation between the different technical disciplines. This represents a considerable problem also for standards setting. Standards Setting Organisations (SSOs) with very different cultures and from equally different backgrounds with very diverse technology life cycles will need to co-operate. On top of that, CPSs in general and specifically applications like e-health need to address issues of information security and safety and of trust up-front. The WS aims to discuss how standardisation of (e)merging technologies should be managed from a European perspective. This includes trying to find answers to questions like (among others) - How can cross-disciplinary standardisation be achieved? - Is there a need for closer collaboration between the European Standards Organisations (ESOs) and private standards consortia? If so, how could this be organised? - Could there be benefits in actively encouraging and founding (EU-led) consortia specifically targeting CPSs? - How could co-operation between ESOs and their international counterparts (ISO, IEC, ITU) be improved? - Is increased co-operation with emerging powerful players from China desirable in the field of CPSs? - How can conditions that improve the link between R&D and standardisation in the field of CPSs be established? - How can all relevant stakeholder groups be adequately involved in the process? - Which role could and should the European Commission play in this process?

Dear Willard, I'm in a 5-year DH Postdoc not necessarily receiving digital training and giving only some. I am not a flexible, broad, or highly skilled computational polyglot, but rather simply know a little about GIS mapping and analysis and pushed its boundaries theoretically and analytically in my research (importantly needing geocomputationist collaboration to do this in practice!). If it was the intention in this post to have me train others in this field (digital or not), it's not really being supported (GIS nor my disciplines having a big role in our institute), and if it was intended that I'd become a geocomputationist developer I suppose I should seek out such training myself. Yet, personally I prefer establishing strong interdisciplinary collaborations, which unfortunately require successful larger grants to hire the collaborates (work in progress for me). Beyond the digital, I am interdisciplinary trained by default, switching through degrees, between archaeology and human geography. In the fashion of FB, 'It's complicated'? Is this the kind of situation or information you were after?

We extended the CfP deadline to May 22. Call for papers Complexities of project logistics A half-day workshop at the joint DiXiT-ESTS conference, Antwerp, October 5 - 7, 2016. Please distribute widely Typically, editorial projects - digital or non-digital - get funding for a limited time span, and that time span is usually not sufficient to edit and publish the source or body of sources that the project set out to publish. Often, more funding will be sought, but, as technology and time have moved on, and as one can't reasonably just repeat the first grant application, the focus of a follow-up project will be slightly different. In a third step, one may ask for a neighbouring source collection to be included in the project, or a new tool added to the collection, dependent on what funders at that moment in time seem willing to support. Projects may end up with multiple collections and datasets, digitized according to multiple standards using multiple (sometimes obsolete) technologies. Some may have started out on paper, and have ridden the waves of databases, HTML, CD-ROM, XML, mass digitisation approaches and Linked open data. Even projects that have consistently worked within a TEI framework may have had to ingest documents that use different TEI dialects. These technological complexities may be increased by constraints in overall planning and everyday workflow, including time and budget management, especially if there are cross-institutional collaborations, interdependencies on deliverables, strict deadlines, staff mobility etc. Huygens ING is organising a workshop to discuss these and other complexities of project logistics. We are asking for papers that address for example the following issues, preferably from first-hand experience: - integration of multiple collections digitised or edited according to different standards - integration of the output of projects from multiple organisations - project planning and budget management issues in relation to technological changes - archiving and preservation logistics after the funding period in relation to technological changes - how to prepare for the inevitability of changes in media, encoding, work environment or publishing platforms? - how to avoid having to re-visit the same material? - how to integrate the output of mass digitisation projects into scholarly editions? The workshop will take place on Tuesday, October 4, 2016, the day before the main conference. The format of the workshop will consist of four or five papers (20-minutes) and ample room for discussion. Please send abstracts of ca. 350 words to peter.boot@huygens.knaw.nl, before May 22, 23:59 GMT. Notification of acceptance will follow before June 1. Travel bursaries to Antwerp may be available. Please indicate whether you need a bursary when sending in your abstract. All questions about the workshop can be directed to Peter Boot, peter.boot@huygens.knaw.nl The workshop is organized as part of the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT), financed under the EU Marie Curie Actions. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 May 2016 16:36:16 -0400 From: Alex Gil Subject: Reminder: DLF Call for Proposals Deadline Approaching Dear all, The deadline for the DLF CFP is fast approaching.

I don't know of anything like that but personally I did make my start in and learn my IT skills in IT service oriented work, but work that I did *instead of* an academic career as a matter of 'food on the table' after my BA. It has only been relatively recently that I've been able to combine the two with DH, but if I had managed to have a career in Humanities after my degree there is no way I would have learned all the IT skills I now have without having had that IT Service background. Many Arts graduates go into IT as a way of finding work after their degree. While a postdoc that trains you in IT by putting you in a service role would be nice for one lucky person to get, it might also make sense to also look at recruiting all those Arts grads who went into IT because they had to get a job, back into DH. I'm sure they'd love the opportunity.

See https://digitalmitford.wordpress.com/2016/02/29/digital-mitford-coding-school-june-25-27-2016/ for an overview. The Coding School offers participants an orientation to digital project development and management from a point of view within an active ongoing project. If offers trains in TEI for manuscripts and correspondence as well as regular expression matching and XPath, and we are preparing a "Part 2" experience for those interested in XSLT and XQuery (all of which we are well prepared to teach). Registrations are now filled for this summer's Coding but if there are last-minute peeps of interest, I can see if we have room. Additionally, I teach two 15-week semester courses at Pitt-Greensburg in Coding and Digital Archives and Coding and Data Visualization, each of which are designed to train people from "scratch" (no experience with coding) to design and build digital projects, and my courses are an Open Education Resource, with tutorials and homework exercises all available from http://newtfire.org/dh/ . I am seeking user and peer review feedback on my course material, by the way, on MERLOT: https://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=1161288 My two courses are modeled on (but with significant variations and emphases) another semester-long course at Pitt, which trained me and has trained other faculty and graduate students as well as undergraduates: please see my colleague David Birnbaum's course at Obdurodon: http://dh.obdurodon.org . You may want to consider finding a semester-long course offering in residence for an intensive learning and project-development experience--it was exactly what I needed to establish a firm foundation in DH.

Parker (Yale) wrote a report in 1962 to the Scandinavian Economic History Review to summarise American work for the benefit of colleagues. To qualify it he acknowledged the fact that the authority of results "is partly a sociological rather than a strictly scientific fact". At that time his brand of economic history, with strong emphasis on quantification (hence "quantifiers" in the following) and so statistics, was new enough to bring to mind how disciplines are formed. The following may be of some interest and, I hope, amusement, to those of us here still concerned with the formation of digital humanities. > Wolves travel in a pack, lions in a pride, geese in a gaggle, > philosophers and sewing ladies are found in circles, and scholars and > fish in schools. A collection of quantifiers is a social sub-group > within the school of scholars. It has the strength of a pack and can > repel attack from without by strong defences, or by counter attack > from within. Its very presence disturbs the self-confidence of > skeptics; the tangle of intricately interrelated statistics springing > up jungle-like within its shadow gives the most diligent or most > hostile critic pause. Only the most profound resentment and the > sheerest misanthropy will push the uninitiated into the tangle, and > once he has entered, the heavy perfumes, the charm of the foliage and > the sense of communion with the esoteric may overpower enmity. > Constructive scholars, chary of their time and vulnerable to > criticism, will come gladly to exchange confidence and congratulation > for the right to pursue their own concerns. They will accept a set of > income estimates, quote them if need be, and even imagine that they > understand them and that they exist as facts, rather than as the > frail structures of hypotheses their authors had intended. And apart > from this impress which a like-minded group of scholars can make > upon the world at large, there is the reinforcement of inner strength > that comes from family life. When the number of scholars grows to a > certain point, they can produce their own conferences, become one > anothers' reviewers and critics, and even finance their own journals. > They establish a private language and tradition; allusions, jokes and > friendships spring up, and the corporate life grows through students > and in extreme cases through intermarriage. They form an example of > the social equivalent of what in atomic physics is known as a > critical--or in this case some would say, uncritical--mass. William N.

I am currently in the process of preparing an application for a grant to support establishment of a resource focused DH center in Prague, Czech Republic. As you can imagine, there are many limitations on how we can construct the budget, but in spite of all the bureaucratic obstacles, we are keen on recruiting two postdocs from abroad who would be willing to do precisely that - agree to work as consultants and co-authors on various humanities research subprojects. I think we have some great librarians, historians and philosophers on board and, in the recent years, several projects have been carried out to digitize humanities resources. Yet other researchers have been building disciplinary databases more or less on their own time. There is, however, a gap between those who have the skills to build and maintain the infrastructures and those who are in contact with the ongoing research and have their own research questions to contribute. My hope is that we can narrow that gap by bringing in people with DH humanities training who would be able to talk with both sides. It is unlikely that, say an established historian with traditional disciplinary upbringing will take on the task of becoming a programming historian at a mid-career point, but there is good chance that she can get a better idea of what DH can do for her to possibly get over some limitations of analogue research. And that, we envision, would be a good point for someone with fresh DH skills to come in. If the grant application ends up being successful, we expect to look for this person abroad. We do have a few humanities scholars around here with impressive computational skills, but mostly focusing on social media and working closely with businesses. And then, of course, we have NLP people. But in the traditional humanities disciplines, people with a DH research profile are nowhere to be found. So perhaps the issue also has to do with the state of DH affairs in various countries. An interdisciplinary postdoc is the first thing that comes to mind if DH are not properly institutionalized – but once they are, they probably pick up their own course of action and cut themselves off from more traditionally leaning colleagues. It is probably an instantiation of the central dilemma in the digital humanities. Anyway, those are my two cents. Wish us luck so that we get the grant and can hire an interdisciplinary postdoc :) on that note, should anyone be interested in getting in touch and sending a letter of support, feel free to get in touch.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 15 May 2016 21:09:53 +0000 From: Lauren Klein Subject: CFP: Feminist Media Histories, special issue on "Data" Please see below for a CFP for a special issue of Feminist Media Histories on “Data,” including an option to submit digital projects for peer review. CALL FOR PAPERS Feminist Media Histories: An International Journal Special Issue on “Data” Guest Editors: Miriam Posner (UCLA) and Lauren Klein (Georgia Tech) “Data” has enormous cultural currency in the world today. Most of us understand that corporations are encoding and analyzing our habits, preferences, and behaviors on a massive scale. Personalized music suggestions, predictive policing, and Amazon recommendations are all part of this pervasive data regime. Discussions of this regime, and of data more generally, tend to focus on the present. But the concept of data also has a history, one embedded in a range of cultural, political, and material contexts. Building upon recent feminist scholarship that has drawn our attention to the various ways data shapes twenty first-century life--how data affects our experience of gender, how the effects of gendered data are felt differently across racial lines, and what feminist theory might bring to data and its visualization, to name only a few--this issue seeks to model how feminist histories of data might help us chart a range of unexplored futures. We ask not only how gender and identity can be brought to bear on the concept of data and its emergence, but also how theories and methods associated with feminist scholarship might be employed to illuminate the historical and cultural complexities of data. We seek both scholarly essays and born-digital works on topics including but not limited to: ● Data and media. Is data “media”? If so, what are its features and/or how is it expressed? ● Data and history. How does a renewed attention to certain historical subjects or events enrich our understanding of data, past or present? ● Data and narrative. What are the stories we tell about the history of data, and how can a feminist approach offer an alternative narrative of the concept? ● Data and gender. What are the ways in which gender is, or could be, represented as data? What are the gender effects of its visualization? ● Data and method. How can feminist methods inform a history or critique of data? ● Data as concept. What can the concept of “data” bring to feminist media history? What does the concept of “data” elide? ● Data as politics. How is data complicit in structures of power? How does data become part of how power is practiced, experienced, or expressed? ● Data as agent. How has data-driven decision-making influenced the history of media, particularly as it relates to gender? ● Data in the world. How can an intersectional feminist approach to data allow us to better understand its global impact? Potential contributors should send short proposals of 300-500 words to the guest editors directly (mposner@humnet.ucla.edu and lauren.klein@lmc.gatech.edu) by no later than June 30th, 2016. Contributors will be notified by July 15th, 2016, with completed articles/projects due October 1st, 2016. All contributions, including digital projects, will be sent out for peer review shortly thereafter. The issue is scheduled for a Summer 2017 release (Feminist Media Histories 3.3). We welcome proposals for nontraditional digital projects, although Feminist Media Histories itself cannot host these projects. Should a digital project be accepted, we will publish a 500-1000-word author’s statement in the volume, which will include a link to the externally-hosted project. Feminist Media Histories is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to feminist histories of film, video, audio, and digital technologies across a range of periods and global contexts. Intermedial and transnational in approach, Feminist Media Histories examines the historical role gender has played in varied media technologies, and documents women’s engagement with these media as audiences and users, creators and executives, critics and theorists, technicians and laborers, educators and activists. Feminist Media Histories is published by the University of California Press. More information is available here: http://fmh.ucpress.edu/content/submit -- Lauren F.

Dear all, This Thursday, 19th May, from 6:00-9:00pm, the Digital Humanities Student Society is hosting an event: Movement in the Digital Age. Movement in the Digital Age will address questions of digital movement. How does movement in the digital world reflect movement in the physical world? When data is processed and transferred in unprecedented ways, how do we keep up? As legal restrictions impede intellectual progress, how do we respond with open access? When physical borders restrict movement, how do we mobilise digital resources to address these restrictions? How can we use digital tools and resources to better understand how we move, where we came from, where we might end up, and what will happen when we get there? We will attempt to answer these questions and more with talks and panel discussions featuring the following speakers: · Dr. Martin Paul Eve – Professor of Literature, Technology and Publishing, Birkbeck, University of London · Martyn Suker – Head of Production Innovation, ITV · Simon Troup – Head of Data Services, OpenSensors.io · Jack Kent – Director, Operators & Mobile Media, IHS Technology · Jimmy Robinson – Founder, Pingpong Digital · Antoine Laurent-Atthalin – Activist, Nuit Debout · Dr. Paolo Gerbaudo – Lecturer, Digital Culture & Society, KCL · Geraldine Denis – MA Student, Digital Culture & Society, KCL For more information on the event and to register, please visit the Eventbrite page at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/movement-in-the-digital-age-tickets-23286225728 We look forward to seeing you there, DH Society officers Movement in the Digital Age www.eventbrite.co.uk http://www.eventbrite.co.uk In a world that is actively confronting its physical borders, virtual barriers, and ideological structures, it is more relevant than ever to consider how we navigate these interconnected realms. Continuous flows of information and communication shape the world in ways often unseen and underestimated. From live Tweets reverberating news and opinions around the globe, to unthinkable amounts of data being captured, manipulated, and repurposed; from digital assets moving through the management lifecycle, to connecting seemingly disparate concepts in the semantic web—movement is as much a digital phenomenon as it is physical. Movement in the Digital Age will address questions of digital movement. How does movement in the digital world reflect movement in the physical world? When data is processed and transferred in unprecedented ways, how do we keep up? As legal restrictions impede intellectual progress, how do we respond with open access? When geopolitical borders restrict physical movement, how do we mobilise _______________________________________________ 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 534A03B6B; Wed, 18 May 2016 07:21:48 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EEC355EB5; Wed, 18 May 2016 07:21:34 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 72A643AEF; Wed, 18 May 2016 07:20:09 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160518052010.72A643AEF@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 18 May 2016 07:20:09 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.34 virtuous qualities of an editor 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: <20160518052147.19322.44268@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 34.

Murray (1866-1957) was an Australian-born British classical scholar and public intellectual, first at Glasgow, then at Oxford as Regius Professor of Greek. What would a person of that time and social position have meant by those virtues? How would we determine his meanings? What was he getting at by requiring them specifically of an editor? What would our requirements be? Would they be likely to touch on the editor's character, his or her beliefs, manner of conduct in society? How would our requirements be reflected in the methods and tools of editing?

This is an exciting opportunity to inform ESRC’s possible future strategic investment and provide a more holistic view of how digital technology mediates our lives, and the way technological and social change co-evolve and impact each other. This is a broad and much researched area, so the purpose of the scoping review is to undertake a systematic literature review and synthesis; to identify gaps in current research and determine where the ESRC should focus any initiative to add most value. Through this process the aim of the scoping review is also to build new networks and extend existing ones across the academic community, amongst other stakeholders and potential funding partners. The scoping review is for a maximum duration of eight months and must commence no later than 1 August 2016. The maximum budget for the scoping review is £300,000 at 100 per cent in full economic costs. In accordance with RCUK policy, the ESRC will contribute up to 80 per cent of the full economic costs. EoIs should be submitted by email to esrcdigitalage@esrc.ac.uk no later than 16.00 on 10 June 2016. For more information please see the call specification: http://www.esrc.ac.uk/funding/funding-opportunities/scoping-review-ways-of-being-in-a-digital-age. In case you have further questions kindly contact Amanda Rodgers (Amanda.Rodgers@esrc.ac.uk) or myself (Tjorven.Sievers@esrc.ac.uk). Please feel free to disseminate this funding opportunity to your networks and contacts as appropriate.

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

Geoffrey Rockwell & Stéfan Sinclair --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 May 2016 16:15:22 +0000 From: "Heckman, Davin" Subject: Digital Humanities Events in Southeast Minnesota Topics in the Digital Humanities: Electronic Literature (6/21-23). If you want to spend three days on banks of the Mississippi learning about electronic literature, Winona State University is offering a summer workshop: http://wsu.mn/digital-humanities. We will focus on genres, creative and critical resources, and pedagogy, with special attention to those who would like to incorporate electronic literature into the k-20 curriculum. Outside of class time, we will informally discuss other methods that fit under the umbrella of Digital Humanities as well as opportunities for further study. The course will be taught by Davin Heckman, a scholar who serves on the board of the Electronic Literature Organization. Miguel Elizalde, a transmedia artist and professor, is going to offer a brief introduction to physical computing (hopefully, we will get him to offer a full workshop next summer.) Graduate, undergraduate, and no credit options are available. We offer inexpensive housing available in the dormitories. The larger goal of this endeavor is to build a collegial network of digital humanities practitioners in the region, with a special emphasis on supporting rigorous approaches that engage with a changing world. Please share with your friends. iDMAa Conference 2016: Call for Papers and Panels http://idmaa.org/conferences/call-for-papers-panels/ The International Digital Media Arts Association (iDMAa) is pleased to announce its fourteenth annual conference, this year taking place at Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota from October 5 through 8, 2016. WSU is located on the banks of the Mississippi River in the "bluff country" of Southeast Minnesota. iDMAa seeks proposals for paper presentations and panels centering on this year¹s conference theme, Interface: The Digital and The Human. As we welcome into our universities and professions the first "post-digital" generation, born into a world in which tools like mobile media, networked computers, and digital production are the norm, we enter another great media upheaval. Physical computing, big data analytics, biotechnology, cognitive neuroscience, and AI-generated content suggest new possibilities (and problems) for our understanding of the human and the digital. Similarly, ideas like minimal computing, appropriate technology, sustainability, animal studies, and intersectional theory have implications for our understanding of "the human." What implications does emerging media have for artists, professionals, and education working in traditional industries, media, and disciplines? What can speculative and experimental practitioners learn from "traditional" humanistic approaches and established fields of practice? Call to Artists for Entry iDEAS 16 http://idmaa.org/conferences/ideas2016/ iDEAS 16 is an international exhibition which explores current ideas and processes in hybrid form, digital art, design, and new media. The iDEAS exhibition coincides with the fourteenth annual International Digital Media and Arts Association (iDMAa) conference, to be held on the campus of Winona State University in Winona, Minnesota, from October 5th ­ Oct 8th. iDEAS is dedicated to exhibiting a wide range of both emerging and established artists to engage in lively exchange which reflects our times and helps to shape our culture. This year¹s conference theme is Interface: The Digital and The Human. _______________________________________________ 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 11B5C608D; Wed, 18 May 2016 07:28:05 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 90A186065; Wed, 18 May 2016 07:28:04 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 19E955FAC; Wed, 18 May 2016 07:28:00 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160518052801.19E955FAC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 18 May 2016 07:28:00 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.37 pubs: D-Lib for May/June 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: <20160518052805.21236.61369@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 37.

Purpose of the study: Drawing on tools and methodologies from the fields of art history and digital humanities, my research explores the potential of online resources for the history of art and architecture and aims to establish best practice for creating and evaluating such resources. This questionnaire aims to identify current best practice in the design and evaluation of online resources for the history of art and architecture. As, potentially, the digital counterpart to traditional research outputs such as articles and monographs, online resources require a number of standards to be implemented. This survey aims to explore the attitudes and practices of art historians, as both users/readers and collaborators/authors, regarding such standards. The ideal respondent will have a background in art history and some experience of using digital resources for art historians. I would be grateful if you would also circulate the link to the survey among colleagues with relevant expertise. The survey: This will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your responses to this questionnaire are anonymous, and all data will be treated in the strictest confidence. The survey does not invite any responses that could pose any reputational or professional risk to respondents or others. Data from this study will be kept for five years in case further research related to the previously mentioned objectives is needed. After five years, data will be disposed of through deletion. The results of this study will be published as a dissertation. In addition, information may be used for professional purposes in academic presentation(s) and/or publication(s). For queries regarding this research project please contact Karolina Badzmierowska (PhD candidate) at badzmiek@tcd.ie.

It is for a 3 course lectureship in ancient Roman culture, broadly defined, at Bates College in Lewiston Maine, USA. The description hides its perks. Lecturers here are well-paid (senior ones get sabbaticals!) and the cost of living is quite low. This is a great post for someone finishing their doctorate.

Tagung „Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum“ wird vom 13. bis 18. Februar 2017 an der Universität Bern mit dem Thema „Digitale Nachhaltigkeit“ stattfinden. Wir bitten um die Einreichungen von Abstracts in den Kategorien ‚Vortrag‘, ‚Poster‘, und ‚Panel‘. Zusätzlich nehmen wir Vorschläge für Workshops, die am 13. und 14. Februar stattfinden werden, entgegen. Der Einreichungsfrist endet am 1. August 2016. I. Inhalte Das Konzept der ‚nachhaltigen Entwicklung‘ hat Eingang in die weltweite Diskussion um Schutz und Stabilität der natürlichen und sozialen Umwelt gefunden. Es ist aber auch für digitale Kontexte von grundlegender Relevanz. Allerdings spielen dabei die spezifischen Bedingungen der Nutzung und Konservierung digitaler Güter eine besondere Rolle. Für die langfristige Sicherung digitaler Daten und wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse besteht angesichts äusserst schnelllebiger technischer Entwicklungen ein grundsätzlicher Bedarf, der von allen Beteiligten (Produzenten, Institutionen, Politik) Reflexion, Handeln und Koordination erfordert. Die in einem rasanten Wandel begriffene IT-Welt orientiert sich vor allem an Bedürfnissen der Gegenwart und hat für künftige Belange und Notwendigkeiten noch kein hinreichend ausgereiftes Problembewusstsein entwickelt. Es besteht mithin der Bedarf, Komponenten und Grundlagen eines Konzepts für ‚digitale Nachhaltigkeit‘ zu schaffen. ‚Digitale Nachhaltigkeit‘ bedeutet, dass digitale Wissensgüter auf eine langfristig zugängliche und Ressourcen-schonende Weise eingesetzt und weiterentwickelt werden: Software, Datenbanken und Artefakte von Kulturgütern (z.B. Editionen, Bilder, Karten) müssen so zugänglich gemacht werden, dass ihre dauerhafte Nutzbarkeit gewährleistet ist. Dies betrifft nicht nur die Daten selbst, sondern auch das Wissen um ihre Interpretation und Nutzung. Voraussetzung dafür ist deren transparente Informationsarchitektur sowie die lückenlose Nachvollziehbarkeit ihrer Entstehung und Weiterverarbeitung. Rechtliche, organisatorische, technische oder finanzielle Hindernisse dürfen die Nutzung, Veränderung und Weiterverbreitung digitaler Informationen nicht behindern. Denn je offener und partizipativer digitale Güter geschaffen, weiterentwickelt und konserviert werden, desto allgemeiner und nachhaltiger ist das darin gespeicherte Wissen für gegenwärtige und künftige Gesellschaften zugänglich. Im Rahmen der Tagung sollen daher unter anderem folgende Fragen verfolgt werden: • Welche technischen Möglichkeiten stehen für die nachhaltige Sicherung digitaler Güter zur Verfügung? • Welche Voraussetzungen und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten für nachhaltige Nutzung bergen Software und Markup-Sprachen? • Welche Erfahrungen, Erfolge und Bedürfnisse gibt es in Bezug auf die kooperative Erarbeitung von Datenstandards in den digitalen Geisteswissenschaften? • Wie verhalten sich Projekte und Plattformen in den Geisteswissenschaften (z.B. Editionen, Datenbanken) zu Fragen der Langzeitsicherung? • Welche konkreten institutionellen Voraussetzungen und Initiativen für ‚digitale Nachhaltigkeit‘ bestehen in den deutschsprachigen Ländern sowie in den jeweiligen nationalen und internationalen Kontexten? • Wie sollen tragfähige Konzepte der digitalen Nachhaltigkeit im Wissenschaftsbetrieb aussehen? In welchem Verhältnis stehen sie zu Konzepten wie Open Science, Open Data, Open Access auf der einen und den Verwertungsinteressen von Forschenden und kommerziellen Akteuren auf der anderen Seite? • Wie lässt sich die Provenienz der Daten bis zu ihrer Entstehung zurückverfolgen und damit deren Authentizität, Verlässlichkeit und Integrität gewährleisten? • Welche Rollen kommen den traditionellen Gedächtnisinstitutionen (Archiven, Bibliotheken, Museen) bei der Sicherung der digitalen Nachhaltigkeit zu? Welche Kooperationserfahrungen gibt es? Unabhängig von dieser Schwerpunktsetzung sind aber auch Beiträge zu allen Bereichen der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften willkommen. Dazu gehören unter anderem: • Beispiele für disziplinspezifische Forschungsprojekte in den Geisteswissenschaften, sowohl in ihren objektbezogenen (Archäologie, Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Theater- und Musikwissenschaft usw.) als auch in ihren textbezogenen Ausprägungen. • Alle Aspekte der Modellierung geisteswissenschaftlicher Inhalte und Forschungsprozesse, Probleme des Markups und anderer Ansätze zur Formalisierung von Inhalten, insbesondere auch im Bereich der semantischen und graphorientierten Technologien. • Aspekte der Nutzung von Big Data-Datenpools bzw. Datamining für geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung. • Modelle und Praxiserfahrungen von Curricula und Ausbildungsgängen im Bereich der DH. • Innovative digitale Formen der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation, Veränderung des Publikationswesens. • Durch innovative Softwarewerkzeuge ermöglichte neue methodische Ansätze. • Entstehende Technologien sowie 3D-Printing, tragbare Geräte, das „Internet of Things“ und ihre geisteswissenschaftlichen Anwendungen. • neue Formen der Visualisierung von Forschungsergebnissen.

Computing and communications engineers deliver digital capabilities that not only change what we can do and how we do it, but can radically change our perception of the world around us and of our own identity. Previously physical entities have become virtual, while experiences, relationships and transactions that were formerly enacted physically have moved into cyberspace. This transition from a physical to an informational world urgently requires new understanding which can only come about from interdisciplinary projects. Specific topics might be: * a detailed examination of the quantification of information in the engineering, physics, and biology traditions; are there important differences, or is it all really the same? * when notions of information are taken up by non-tech disciplines, to what extent are these informed by the classical analyses; what is different, and what is qualitative, rather than quantitative? * how important are information-theoretical ideas for current computing and ICT professionals and researchers? * is the 'philosophy of information' of any relevance for practitioners? * is there really an 'information explosion'?

Kildare, Ireland) is actively seeking abstract submissions for short (10 min) papers, long (20 min) papers, and posters highlighting research in the humanities. This brand new annual symposium will be taking place on 13th and 14th October 2016 in Maynooth, and will be hosted by An Foras Feasa. It is organised and run by postgraduate students to highlight new postgraduate research taking place in the Humanities, and the event will coincide with the annual Dean's lecture. The themes of the first symposium will consider collaboration across disciplines in the Humanities, bringing focus to under-represented voices and areas of research, and the role of Humanities research both in how we educate others, and in how we interact with the world outside academia. What are we doing with our research, and how can we use it to make a difference to the wider society? These are just some of the themes that are relevant to this conference, but we will welcome all submissions from Humanities postgraduates. Taught Masters, Research Masters, and PhD students are encouraged to submit. The papers will be subsequently published as part of conference proceedings. * We encourage you to circulate this message to all postgraduate students and graduate studies departments. * Submission Deadline: 30 May 2016, 5 PM http://nppsh.maynoothuniversity.ie/call-for-papers/ Follow us on Twitter: @nppshie Best regards, NPPSH 2016 Organising Committee --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 19 May 2016 17:12:25 +0000 From: Sally Chambers Subject: DH Benelux 2016: last few days for signing-up!

Objects in science and technology museum collections have all, before their museum ‘lives’, been involved in many histories of consumption and use. The turn towards studies of use in technology studies, notably demonstrated by Oudshoorn and Pinch’s How Users Matter (2003), Edgerton’s Shock of the Old (2006) and Oldenziel and Hård’s Consumers, Tinkerers, Rebels (2013) is therefore congenial to curators and exhibition makers in science museums. This can manifest itself in social history displays, object biographies, and some close readings of wear and experience; in other words both object-centred research and display practice (historical and contemporary) have much to contribute in developing user studies as presently conceived in science and technology. Drawing out comparisons between these differing kinds of user history is one of the key aims of this conference. What methodologies have been used in museums and in the universities to reveal histories of use? Which approaches have greatest analytical value? Can study of use in one field inform how we think of that in another? At the same time, the conference organisers argue, a focus on users in the past also offers a route to a rapprochement between object-related research in museums and that other kind of museum research, visitor research, as surely visitors are themselves users of museums. As we understand the relationships between objects and people in the past, so we can apply that understanding to the users of our exhibitions in the present. Equally, the myriad of ways in which social research has sought to understand the responses of visitors and other audiences holds out the promise of many registers in which artefacts in use may be understood. This conference is linked to the 2017 Artefacts meeting at the Musée des Arts et Metiers in Paris. Whereas, in Paris the emphasis will be on histories of production, in London we will emphasis histories of consumption. For this Artefacts conference we invite submissions of both philosophical and concrete examples of how an explicit turn to ‘users’ as a category of analysis can enrich both our understanding and our practice in museums. Examples might include, but are not limited to: Methodologies for studying use, including object-stimulated oral history, reconstruction, re-enactment and other explorations of tacit and unrecorded skills; Media and methods for recording and conveying use histories, including thick description, video and audio recording, performance, etc; Sources for histories of use, including manuals, photographs, films, oral history etc; strengths and weaknesses of each; Examples of museum displays that emphasise histories of consumption and use over invention and production; Case studies of objects explored with respect to their use; Categories of user, for example: passenger, worker, consumer, reader, listener, viewer; Area of use: work, home, entertainment; Museum visitors as ‘users’ of museums; Visitor study methodologies and use-study methodologies; Comparisons and contrasts.

A brief overview was presented yesterday in my Department's fine Early Careers Conference. From what I heard and saw this work is more than equal to e.g. the research of the Harvard metaLAB as presented last year at DH2015 by Jeffrey Schnapp in his keynote. Kräutli quoted from L. B. Archer's "The Nature of Research": > One has to ask, was the practitioner activity an enquiry whose goal > was knowledge? Was it systematically conducted?

The abstract follows. > This thesis explores the ability of data visualisation to enable > knowledge discovery in digital collections.

The excellent book edited by Christopher Stray, /Gilbert Murray Reassessed: Hellenism, Theatre, and International Politics/, Oxford, OUP 2007, is a 'must' in this field, as all the other works written or edited by Stray. His research in the field of Victorian 20th century classical scholarship is incredibly important: the main point, it seems to me (I am not English) is that, as in other countries, the University Professor of Classics was regarded as a model, a point of reference, by many people. This was particularly important in Germany (see Wilamowitz) but also in other countries. When Murray visited the US for lecturing and for reading his translations, it was really an event.

Speaking and writing are creative activities that must reciprocated by the hearer's or reader's creative response'. To say so, thus, a new suggestion about the linguistic nature of art and, reciprocally, of the artistically performative value of language. Thank you!

Archer in his account of his father's friendship with Murray (Archer 1936, 36–7), which includes Murray's definition of an apparatus for a layman: 'An apparatus criticus is a list of Ms. variations, with occasional remarks thereon. Only men of the highest moral character, religion, and social grace can produce one satisfactorily.' The deWnition is cited by D. Wilson 1987, 114." 2 cents? „Amusing“ „an apparatus for a layman“ If I remember right: Dom Froger split the job of stemma-building into 2 steps, the first suited to be done by an idiot resp. by a machine. To what extent is the moral character involved in the following steps to build the apparatus? Where begins a work for which are needed more than secondary virtues? I'm tending to conclude some irony in Murray's letter; but as a 'non English' I hope for further advice.

The goal is to create a website that weaves together a picture of the participants’ activities on the day and which answers the question, ‘Just what do digital humanists really do?’ Participants document their day through photographs and text, all of which is published on a community online platform, forming a record of the day. Both during and after the day, people are encouraged to read and comment on their fellow participants’ posts. DH has been a centerNet initiative since 2012. Day of DH has been generously hosted for the past 2 years by LINHD: Laboratorio de Innovación en Humanidades Digitales de la UNED, and was previously hosted by MATRIX at Michigan State University. See the latest Day of DH site for further information: http://dayofdh2015.uned.es/. centerNet is now accepting proposals for the next Digital Humanities center to host this worldwide event. We are asking for a TWO YEAR hosting commitment for 2017 and 2018. Your center will need to meet these basic requirements: --install and directly manage a robust, high traffic multi-user WordPress/BuddyPress installation --create and manage your own domains --have in-house programming support to customize the look and feel of the WordPress/BuddyPress installation --be a paying member of centerNet. For more information on membership, see http://dhcenternet.org/join If you are interested, please send your 1-page proposal detailing your technical and managerial capacity to centerNet’s International Secretary, Meral Karrasch [meral.karrasch@gmail.com] by June 30, 2016. Proposals can be submitted in English, Spanish, or French, as well as other languages in cases where translation is readily available (for other languages, please check first with the Secretary). We will choose and announce the new Day of DH 2017 + 2018 hosting center at the DH2016 conference. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 23 May 2016 23:35:23 +0000 (UTC) From: Elena_González-Blanco Subject: DH@Madrid Summer School 27June-1July, also online!

Only men of the highest moral > character, religion, and social grace can produce one > satisfactorily. Recently I referred in public, at a university, to Francois' question of how we might translate the above into terms that would be generally recognizable today. I heard, if I am not mistaken, a dismissive reaction, I'd guess provoked by the words "moral", "religion" and "grace". I wonder now if we have not come too far from Murray's time quickly to grasp what he meant -- or, what is more serious, if we've lost the wit to detect an historical context and respect it in its own terms. (We do seem so very anxious to find transgressions of our contemporary values.) Along with the centrality of the printed codex have we lost the sense of a body of writings so central to who we are that every aspect of its handling requires the best we are capable of -- our "highest moral character, religion, and social grace"? Another way to get at that sense of importance is provided by Hans Aarsleff's introduction to Wilhelm von Humboldt's "On Language", which Marinella Testori alerted me to. Aarsleff comments on the elusive core of von Humboldt's subject: "The fundamental nature of language was [for him] an aesthetic problem, accessible only to the artist. Speaking and writing are creative activities that must be reciprocated by the hearer's or reader's creative response." I think that might be quite a good answer to Francois' question, though an explanation of how it it might prove lengthy.

Allen Orr reviews Matthew Cobb's Life's Greatest Secret: The Race to Crack the Genetic Code (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2016/06/09/dna-power-beautiful-experiment/). It is in itself a worthy review, but I refer to it here for something Orr says in passing: > You might not have noticed that I used the language of information > when discussing DNA above. The “information” that is “encoded” in DNA > gets “read” by cells. You likely didn’t notice because this is now a > nearly reflexive way of talking about DNA, even in popular culture. > It’s just obvious to us that DNA stores information—for curly hair or > blue eyes—and it’s natural to think of it as an information storage > device much like the hard disk of a computer. Yet one of Cobb’s main > points is that this is a remarkably recent way of thinking about > biology. > > The rise of this style of thinking had everything to do with what was > happening in other fields of science during and immediately after > World War II.... Many here will be able to guess the story that follows that last sentence. But again, my point is not the history of post-war science but the process Orr describes -- "one of Cobb's main points" -- of how what later seems natural fact is naturalised. "It's just obvious to us that..." was not before it was made that way. We are (perhaps on the far side of) the same thing happening with respect to computing, with decades of 'the computational model of mind' behind us, ubiquitous, embedded computing everywhere we don't see, and so on and so forth. It seems to be crucial, even at the heart of what digital humanities could do if only we can summon the wit to do it, to keep firmly in mind the transitional moment when computing is naturalised. A struggle, of course, perhaps an impossible one. How do you imagine the world before the changes Cobb writes about or before analogue became the word to describe what is not digital (when it meant 'analogous to')? But, I would say, the power of the discipline is in proportion to the difficulty of this task -- and a few other things, of course. But this is one of them, surely. Comments?

Its aim is to promote high quality scholarship that intervenes in contemporary debates about the study of culture using computational and quantitative methods. We are looking for articles that combine theoretical sophistication, computational expertise, and grounding in a particular field towards the crafting of novel, thought-provoking arguments. In combining the very best of the humanities and the social and computational sciences, Cultural Analytics aims to challenge disciplinary boundaries and serve as the foundational publishing venue of a major new intellectual movement.

In-Reply-To: <20160526052801.4EFD96862@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, In his meditation "On Language" (Cambridge University Press 1999), W. von Humboldt defines language as one of the "manifestations of human mental power" (p.26), which is triggered not only by "an external necessity for maintaining communal intercourse" (p. 27). To paraphrase it, we could say that using language is something of which we cannot rid of precisely because we are human beings and aim to act according our human nature. The article about DNA seems to confirm this fascinating perspective: language, in a certain way, is already in our cells, and even sequences of letters are used to explain the code of life! This irresistibly forces me to reflect on what kind of usage of technology we are making and what type of human beings we are becoming; I am wondering, for instance, whether an increasing presence of technology to replace human beings and, thus, their unique faculty of communicating and interacting, in workplaces, could be seen as a sign of decline - a decline of our true humanity by starting from what mainly characterizes it: the faculty of language, and a decline of technology itself in its ethical implications - rather than an advancement. It is like men, scared by the modern "towers of Babel" they have built, they wish to renounce, to retire them from what they shape their nature mostly. The challenge of a computational mind, of a computational man, seems thus to me to consist in reflecting on analogies (between mind and machine, between language and computerized model), while keeping firm that we cannot allow them to overcome what is unique and irreplaceable in us.

In-Reply-To: <20160527045721.D88706894@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Some more thoughts, as requested. Among the things that most characterise us as Homo Sapiens are our abilities with language and with tools. If tool use, or 'technology', and language, are necessary conditions for being classed as Homo Sapiens, we have always been cyborgs. When it boils down to it, a computer is a language tool. It's invention and core functionality is symbol processing, and its higher order functioning is also largely about communicating, representation, etc. It seems a mistake then to think of computers as being separate to our 'true', 'real' or 'essential' humanity though they are often characterised as such. What could be more human? You don't see other plants and animals inventing computers. Why they do seem alien is their newness. Latour and others have written a lot about the process of technology adoption. I like to characterise it as the opposite process to the Russian formalist technique of 'ostranenie' or 'making strange', where something that is automatic is purposefully problematised to make you notice its functioning - or Heidegger's example of how we don't notice we are using the floor until it falls out from under us. In our distinctly human process of adopting new technology, the cybernetic process, it is difficult and problematic at first, and little by little becomes fully automated, and our interactions with technology become unconscious. We don't think about how to turn on a light bulb. Learning to drive is difficult but eventually you simply go to work without noticing the accelerator, brake and indicator. At this moment in history, there are drastically more people than ever in the world, all positioned in a system of technological competition that leads to many new technologies happening at once. It's only this speed that makes new technology seem 'unnatural' - lots of new technology comes at us all at once and we get technoshock, technophobia, the shock of the new, etc. Analogue devices seem more natural to us, but were extraordinary in their day. Cooking pots are tools, but they seem very natural. If you speak to a 'digital native' they will argue vehemently that interaction through social media is a valid form of socialisation and is not unreal. There are also examples of how machine communications bring people together physically who would not have otherwise have even known each other existed, even living in the same city - subcultural meet ups, finding gigs online and going to them in person etc. To return to the WM's original point, this metaphor for humans and things generally being made of code, being read as a language, is relatively new. Mayans thought/think men were made of maize, which makes sense because they ate a lot of it, and so were. Christians thought/think people were made of flesh and soul. Enlightenment people thought of body and mind, and that body was a sort of pneumatic clockwork and the mind, real in the sense that maths is real, yet immaterial. Not surprising considering the technological and scientific changes of the time. Now we change the analogy again to match our technology - technology is about how things work, so it makes sense that as it changes so our analogue for how we humans work also changes. Anyone in the future aware of these differences across the ages will be able to critique the naturalisation of the human as bio-code, just as we can, but we are indeed in a unique place to watch it as it happens. What is there to take note of beyond noticing that the shift to the bio-code and the digital human metaphor is happening? What we think we are and how we think we work will have ramifications in all areas of culture - justice, medicine, economic differences, warfare, rights and transgressions of all kinds, what we choose to research and what we do not even notice. So I suppose it would be interesting to see how this changes reasoning in legal cases, in people's economic status, access to health care, in how it is used as the reason and justification for taking this or that action. That is where the shift in ideas and analogues has real physical material consequences in people's lives.

Please find the text below, and at the page < http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/cfp>. ...with apologies for cross-posting... Best, Matteo ========================================================== Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin 2016/17: 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 2016/17. 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 2016** 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 average acceptance rate is 35%. Seminars will run **fortnightly on Tuesday evenings (17:15-19:00)** from October 2016 until February 2017 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.

Februar 2017 Die 4. Tagung „Digital Humanities im deutschsprachigen Raum“ wird vom 13. bis 18. Februar 2017 an der Universität Bern mit dem Thema „Digitale Nachhaltigkeit“ stattfinden. Wir bitten um die Einreichungen von Abstracts in den Kategorien ‚Vortrag‘, ‚Poster‘, und ‚Panel‘. Zusätzlich nehmen wir Vorschläge für Workshops, die am 13. und 14. Februar stattfinden werden, entgegen. Der Einreichungsfrist endet am 1. August 2016. I. Inhalte Das Konzept der ‚nachhaltigen Entwicklung‘ hat Eingang in die weltweite Diskussion um Schutz und Stabilität der natürlichen und sozialen Umwelt gefunden. Es ist aber auch für digitale Kontexte von grundlegender Relevanz. Allerdings spielen dabei die spezifischen Bedingungen der Nutzung und Konservierung digitaler Güter eine besondere Rolle. Für die langfristige Sicherung digitaler Daten und wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse besteht angesichts äusserst schnelllebiger technischer Entwicklungen ein grundsätzlicher Bedarf, der von allen Beteiligten (Produzenten, Institutionen, Politik) Reflexion, Handeln und Koordination erfordert. Die in einem rasanten Wandel begriffene IT-Welt orientiert sich vor allem an Bedürfnissen der Gegenwart und hat für künftige Belange und Notwendigkeiten noch kein hinreichend ausgereiftes Problembewusstsein entwickelt. Es besteht mithin der Bedarf, Komponenten und Grundlagen eines Konzepts für ‚digitale Nachhaltigkeit‘ zu schaffen. ‚Digitale Nachhaltigkeit‘ bedeutet, dass digitale Wissensgüter auf eine langfristig zugängliche und Ressourcen-schonende Weise eingesetzt und weiterentwickelt werden: Software, Datenbanken und Artefakte von Kulturgütern (z.B. Editionen, Bilder, Karten) müssen so zugänglich gemacht werden, dass ihre dauerhafte Nutzbarkeit gewährleistet ist. Dies betrifft nicht nur die Daten selbst, sondern auch das Wissen um ihre Interpretation und Nutzung. Voraussetzung dafür ist deren transparente Informationsarchitektur sowie die lückenlose Nachvollziehbarkeit ihrer Entstehung und Weiterverarbeitung. Rechtliche, organisatorische, technische oder finanzielle Hindernisse dürfen die Nutzung, Veränderung und Weiterverbreitung digitaler Informationen nicht behindern. Denn je offener und partizipativer digitale Güter geschaffen, weiterentwickelt und konserviert werden, desto allgemeiner und nachhaltiger ist das darin gespeicherte Wissen für gegenwärtige und künftige Gesellschaften zugänglich. Im Rahmen der Tagung sollen daher unter anderem folgende Fragen verfolgt werden: • Welche technischen Möglichkeiten stehen für die nachhaltige Sicherung digitaler Güter zur Verfügung? • Welche Voraussetzungen und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten für nachhaltige Nutzung bergen Software und Markup-Sprachen? • Welche Erfahrungen, Erfolge und Bedürfnisse gibt es in Bezug auf die kooperative Erarbeitung von Datenstandards in den digitalen Geisteswissenschaften? • Wie verhalten sich Projekte und Plattformen in den Geisteswissenschaften (z.B. Editionen, Datenbanken) zu Fragen der Langzeitsicherung? • Welche konkreten institutionellen Voraussetzungen und Initiativen für ‚digitale Nachhaltigkeit‘ bestehen in den deutschsprachigen Ländern sowie in den jeweiligen nationalen und internationalen Kontexten? • Wie sollen tragfähige Konzepte der digitalen Nachhaltigkeit im Wissenschaftsbetrieb aussehen? In welchem Verhältnis stehen sie zu Konzepten wie Open Science, Open Data, Open Access auf der einen und den Verwertungsinteressen von Forschenden und kommerziellen Akteuren auf der anderen Seite? • Wie lässt sich die Provenienz der Daten bis zu ihrer Entstehung zurückverfolgen und damit deren Authentizität, Verlässlichkeit und Integrität gewährleisten? • Welche Rollen kommen den traditionellen Gedächtnisinstitutionen (Archiven, Bibliotheken, Museen) bei der Sicherung der digitalen Nachhaltigkeit zu? Welche Kooperationserfahrungen gibt es? Unabhängig von dieser Schwerpunktsetzung sind aber auch Beiträge zu allen Bereichen der digitalen Geisteswissenschaften willkommen. Dazu gehören unter anderem: • Beispiele für disziplinspezifische Forschungsprojekte in den Geisteswissenschaften, sowohl in ihren objektbezogenen (Archäologie, Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Kunstgeschichte, Theater- und Musikwissenschaft usw.) als auch in ihren textbezogenen Ausprägungen. • Alle Aspekte der Modellierung geisteswissenschaftlicher Inhalte und Forschungsprozesse, Probleme des Markups und anderer Ansätze zur Formalisierung von Inhalten, insbesondere auch im Bereich der semantischen und graphorientierten Technologien. • Aspekte der Nutzung von Big Data-Datenpools bzw. Datamining für geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung. • Modelle und Praxiserfahrungen von Curricula und Ausbildungsgängen im Bereich der DH. • Innovative digitale Formen der wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation, Veränderung des Publikationswesens. • Durch innovative Softwarewerkzeuge ermöglichte neue methodische Ansätze. • Entstehende Technologien sowie 3D-Printing, tragbare Geräte, das „Internet of Things“ und ihre geisteswissenschaftlichen Anwendungen. • neue Formen der Visualisierung von Forschungsergebnissen. II. Formales Es können eingereicht werden: • Poster (Abstract von mindestens 500, maximal 750 Wörtern). • Vorträge (Abstract von mindestens 1200, maximal 1500 Wörtern). • Panels (minimal 3, maximal 6 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer, ein Abstract von mindestens 1200, maximal 1500 Wörtern). • Vor der Konferenz stattfindende Workshops (Vorschlag von mindestens 1200, maximal 1500 Wörtern). Für die Einreichung der Abstracts müssen Sie sich aufhttps://www.conftool.com/dhd2017/ registrieren und eine mit dem DHConValidator-Webservice erstellte dhc-Datei zur Begutachtung einreichen. Nähere Informationen zur Tagung finden Sie here:http://www.dhd2017.ch/ Bei Rückfragen wenden Sie sich bitte aninfo at dhd2017.ch > (Luisa Jakob, Digital Humanities Bern). Die Frist für die Einreichung von Beiträgen läuft am 01.08.2016 ab. Eine Benachrichtigung darüber, ob der Beitrag angenommen wurde, wird bis 01.11.2016 versandt. Die primäre Sprache der Veranstaltung ist Deutsch. In der Regel wird erwartet, dass von einem Verfasser / einer Verfasserin / einer Projektgruppe nur ein Poster oder Vortrag eingereicht wird. Eine Beteiligung von Beitragenden darüber hinaus an maximal einem Panel oder Workshop ist jedoch möglich. 1) Posterpräsentationen Poster (Abstracts: mindestens 500, maximal 750 Wörter) können zu jedem Thema des Call for Papers eingereicht werden. Sie können auch den Stand einzelner Projekte anschaulich beschreiben oder Soft­ware demonstrieren. 2) Vorträge Vorträge (Abstracts: mindestens 1200, maximal 1500 Wörter) stellen unveröffentlichte Ergebnisse dar, und / oder berichten über die Entwicklung von signifikanten neuen Methoden oder digitalen Res­sourcen und / oder stellen ein methodisch / theoretisches Konzept vor. Für die einzelnen Vorträge sind 20 Minuten Präsentationszeit und 10 Minuten für Fragen vorgesehen. Es wird erwartet, dass im Abstract zumindest signifikante Zwischenergebnisse vorgelegt werden. Vortragsvorschläge sollten den Forschungsbeitrag in geeigneter Weise auf dem Hintergrund des Forschungsstands kontextualisieren und seine Bedeutung für die (digitalen) Geisteswissenschaften oder einen jeweiligen Teilbereich deutlich machen. Ein Literaturverzeichnis ist beizufügen. Für die Ankündigung von Vorhaben, zu denen noch keine Zwischenergebnisse vorliegen, ist das Posterformat vorgesehen. 3) Panels Panels bieten drei bis sechs Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmern die Möglichkeit ein Thema auf der Basis einleitender Kurzvorträge zu diskutieren. In der Regel wird erwartet, dass von der 90-minütigen Sitzung je ein Drittel auf die vorbereiteten Statements, die Diskussion innerhalb des Panels und die Diskussion des Panels mit dem Publikum entfällt. Die Panel-Organisatorinnen und Organisatoren reichen eine kurze Beschreibung des Themas im Umfang von mindestens 1200, maximal 1500 Wörtern ein und bestätigen die Bereitschaft der aufgeführten Personen, am Panel teilzunehmen. Für die Annahme eines Panelvorschlags ist die stringente Darlegung des thematischen bzw. methodischen Zusammenhangs der Einzelbeiträge von entscheidender Bedeutung. 4) Vor der Konferenz stattfindende Workshops Workshops dauern einen halben Tag. Von den Workshopleiterinnen und -leitern wird erwartet, dass sie sich für die Konferenz anmelden. Die Vorschläge sollten die folgenden Informationen enthalten: • Titel und eine kurze Beschreibung des Themas (mindestens 1200, maximal 1500 Wörter). • Die vollständigen Kontaktdaten aller Beitragenden sowie einen Absatz zu deren Forschungsinteressen. • Die Zahl der möglichen Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer. • Angaben zu einer etwa benötigten technischen Ausstattung. • Den Workshop spezifischen Call for Papers, falls ein solcher veröffentlicht wird.

Register at http://dhps2016.eventbrite.com by *May 31, 2016*. Conference title: "Varieties of Digital History and Philosophy of Science" Papers dealing with all types of digital projects in the history and philosophy of science are welcome, and participants are encouraged to address the conference theme: how can diverse, locally created projects can be made discoverable, interconnected, and sustainable? As we move further into the networked digital age, scholars are creating new types of digital scholarship with extraordinarily varied methods, structures, and presentations. When taken together, the richness of these diverse projects is extraordinary. Unlike traditional published works, however, many of these projects go unnoticed and often shut down for lack of support. The challenge of the current moment is to build greater stability into the digital space by making projects more visible (discoverability), by providing better ways for unique projects to interact and talk to each other (interconnectivity), and by finding archival spaces that will prevent projects from simply disappearing (sustainability). The *Digital HPS Consortium* is holding this conference to encourage scholars who have unique projects to talk about these difficulties. Questions to be considered: How can we make a more permanent and stable home for our digital work? How can we encourage uniqueness but also pay attention to standards and protocols? How can we build longevity into these projects? The meeting will conclude with a focused, discussion on the practical issues of building a general framework for cooperation. All meetings will take place in Bizzell Memorial Library on the campus of the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. Please go to *Norman 2016 dHPS meeting information *for more information on the conference venue. Free registration for the meeting can be found here:* http://dhps2016.eventbrite.com http://dhps2016.eventbrite.com . *At the registration site, you can enter your suggestion for a paper, if you desire to make a presentation.

For this month, however, this event is taking place on the last Tuesday, tomorrow (31 May) and is dedicated to a particular theme: ancient geography. Anyone interested in participating should: 1. Request (if you don't already have one) an editing account on the wiki, by getting in touch in advance with Gabriel Bodard (Gabriel.bodard@SAS.AC.UK). 2. Join, anytime between 16–18h London time (= 17–19CEST = 11–13EDT = 10–12CDT etc.), the #Digiclass chatroom (instructions here: https://wiki.digitalclassicist.org/DigiClass_IRC_Channel), where you can work synchronously with colleagues (or by yourself) to edit or create articles in the DigitalClassicist wiki to do with resources on ancient geography - the geospatial data themselves and the tools for analysing them - created or curated by individuals, projects and/or institutions. (Of course, you are free to join us to work on other parts of the wiki too!) Please do extend this invitation to any interested individuals and parties. We look forward to improving our content with you!

We need your input. Researchers at the University of Illinois are working as part of a scholarly publishing initiative to develop a service model for university libraries that supports scholar-driven, openly accessible, scalable, and sustainable scholarly publishing practices. You are invited to participate in a national survey of humanities scholars with an interest in digital publishing: https://illinoislas.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3K81QduAtOFRYaN In order to develop a service model that meets your needs, we are hoping to learn more about your current publishing practices, your objectives for publishing, and how you consume and want to consume research results. The survey should take no longer than 30 minutes. “Understanding the Needs of Scholars in a Contemporary Publishing Environment” is a Mellon-funded initiative, in partnership with the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities, and the African American Studies Department at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Find out more about the project: http://publishingwithoutwalls.illinois.edu/ Outcomes of this research will inform the development of a library-based scholarly publishing service model. Our findings will be disseminated broadly through conference presentations and journal articles within the domains of library and information science, the digital humanities, and scholarly publishing. Link to survey: https://illinoislas.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3K81QduAtOFRYaN Thank you for your participation! Questions?

A student may, for example, focus on Ancient Greek or Latin but should also understand how to work with Sanskrit or Classical Chinese. This talk explores what such an education might look like and considers in particular both the opportunities and challenges posed by ancient languages.

The journal embraces empirical as well as theoretical and methodological studies within the field of the history of the internet broadly conceived — from early computer networks, usenet and Bulletin Board Systems, to everyday Internet with the web through the emergence of new forms of internet with mobile phones and tablet computers, social media, and the internet of things. The journal will also provide the premier outlet for cutting-edge research in the closely related area of histories of digital cultures. A hallmark of the journal is its desire to publish and catalyse research and scholarly debate on the development, forms, and histories of the internet internationally, across the full global range of countries, regions, cultures, and communities. Importantly, the journal draws on a wide range of disciplines within the humanities and the social sciences. Internet Histories will also be open to interdisciplinary studies of history of internet and digital cultures, from computer, information, engineering, and other science and technology researchers.

I don't talk about producing graduates, I talk about > producing citizens that have the potential for leadership in > society. We who are bristling with relevance and the tools to "drive society forward" would do well to weigh in and make sure that this revealing incident is not quickly forgotten, as surely Professor Johnston would wish. Digital humanists may not be in as immediate a danger as colleagues in pre-modern history, but such profound ignorance on the part of an appointed leader in the academy affects us all. How much of a stretch is it to be thinking of the provocative poem written by Pastor Martin Niemüller (1892-1984) about the cowardice of intellectuals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came_...#cite_note-quotation-1)?

Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship in Digital Humanities . Awards are available to untenured scholars in the humanities whose PhD must have been received between December 2008 and December 2016. The DH Fellow is required to spend the ten-month academic year (August 2017 – May 2018) in residence at Penn. The PhD is the only eligible terminal degree. MFAs and other doctorates such as EdD are ineligible. In addition to scholars from the core humanities disciplines, those in related fields such as anthropology and the history of science are eligible to apply. Additional educational background in programming, library sciences, computer graphics, computational linguistics, or other fields relevant to digital humanities research is desirable but not required. The Mellon Fellow will be affiliated with both the School of Arts and Sciences and the Penn Libraries, and will participate in the biweekly Price Lab Mellon Seminar. The fellow will pursue his or her own research project, presenting this work at the seminar, while also contributing to team-based projects at the Lab, and teaching one DH course during the year in the undergraduate College. (While the application requires a brief course description, actual specifications of the class will be worked out next spring with the Price Lab’s Managing Director.) The Mellon DH Fellowship carries an annual stipend of $55,000 plus single-coverage health insurance (fellows are responsible for coverage of any dependents). Applicants from outside the US must be eligible for appointment under a J-1 visa (Research Scholar status); no exceptions will be made, and the Price Lab reserves the right to revoke a fellowship if the recipient is unable to meet this condition. The fellowship will in some cases be renewable for a second year.

With this commitment comes the realization that such formal implementation of DH and its siblings (e.g. digital social sciences, digital media, etc.) at a degree-granting level requires articulation of core requirements and competencies, identification and hiring of faculty who are capable of teaching DH in a variety of learning environments (coding, systems, application of methods), evaluating a broad spectrum of student work, and beyond. It also changes the foundational principles of the work of those in our network, as training increasingly involves learning how to teach competencies at the same time as we ourselves develop and maintain them in light of fast-paced advances. The International Digital Humanities Training Network is comprised of organizers of Digital Humanities training institutes and schools worldwide, formalised as the ADHO Training Group. Our gatherings include a member meeting of the International Digital Humanities Training Network / ADHO Training Group as well as mini-conferences devoted to specific topics that are important to our mission. Our gathering at DH2015 in Sydney facilitated reporting on innovations in the practice of DH pedagogy across borders. At this meeting, further needs were identified, particularly related to collaborating on and sharing programmatic materials, syllabi, rubrics and assessment metrics. Our meeting at Digital Humanities 2016 continues this important work. * 8.30-9.00: Registration and Coffee * 9.00-9.15: Welcome, Opening Remarks (Diane K. Jakacki, Katherine M.

In-Reply-To: <57349E8A.40707@it.ox.ac.uk> Please find the call for submissions for the session on Design and Agency in the Data City at the TRADERS Mediations: Art & Design Agency and Participation in Public Space conference on the 21ST-22ND NOVEMBER 2016 at the Royal College of Art, London below. The extended deadline for papers is 15th JUNE 2016. Please send your submissions to nadia.epping@rca.ac.uk. For more information on the paper session, submission requirements, keynotes and more, please visit: http://tr-aders.eu/conference/sessions/session-1/ -------------------------- WHO SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF THE DATA CITY? In this session we are interested in notions of design and agency in the data city, and will question current decision-making processes in data aggregation and analysis in so-called ‘smart cities’. What is the alternative to algorithmic governance aimed at efficiency and resilience? And how can socially engaged designers engage in this alternative? Smart cities are increasingly under scrutiny for their top-down digital control and monitoring mechanisms. This is a consequence of choosing ‘smart’ systems using algorithms to help inform decision-making aimed at increasing the efficiency of urban processes. However, Big Data analytics such as pattern-recognition are also instrumentalised to predict or uncover unusual events or behaviours in the city, resulting in a call for action to prevent certain undesirable activities from happening. In today’s smart cities, the world illustrated in the film Minority Report is closer to fact than fiction, where we are all watched by ‘Big Brother’ and where data privacy seems like a notion of the past. At the same time, due to the diminishing role of the state (e.g. the ‘Big Society’ in the UK or the ‘Participation Society’ in the Netherlands), city governments are welcoming technological solutions to promote civic participation through various software applications. These civic apps aim to encourage users to participate in the development of public services, and with that enhance civic engagement to ultimately increase citizens’ social capital. Opening up their governmental data sets has been the first step in providing opportunities for tech-savvy entrepreneurs working for the government to develop data-driven ways of making government’s communication and services more accessible to citizens. Outside business and government, digital movements that are closely related to daily urban life are emerging. Activists, technologists and citizens concerned with everyday problems in the city often lead these bottom-up technological developments. This has taken shape for instance through hackathons, in which socially engaged software developers tackle urban problems with technological solutions, or through non-profit organisations that develop virtual platforms to improve citizens’ access to public goods. Some examples include apps for addressing issues in citizens’ local built environments, for supporting entrepreneurship or for protecting nature in local public spaces. In this session we question whether these two seemingly opposing positions of top-down control through monitoring and surveillance, and bottom-up civic engagement in urban decision-making, can be reconciled as part of the same ‘smart’ city. We welcome contributions in the form of research papers that address one or more of the following topics: – (When) is top-down valuable and/or necessary – Design for bottom-up civic participation – Citizen participation through civic apps – Data privacy and ethics – Critical explorations of smart city governance – Critical reflections on open data initiatives _______________________________________________ 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 44A1D6A32; Thu, 2 Jun 2016 10:03:58 +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 7B5DA67A9; Thu, 2 Jun 2016 10:03:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id EB0136A14; Thu, 2 Jun 2016 10:03:49 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160602080349.EB0136A14@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2016 10:03:49 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.71 pub & podcast: Digital Literary Studies; Cultural Mechanics 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: <20160602080357.8652.271@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 71.

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

Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 17-19, 2016 Save the Date! Registration opens at the end of the summer. Reactions: Medieval/Modern In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies (SIMS http://schoenberginstitute.org/ ) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 9th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. This year's theme, "Reactions: Medieval/Modern," gives us space to explore the many and varied ways that people have reacted to, and acted upon, manuscripts from the Middle Ages up to today. Reactions take many forms. They include the manipulation of physical objects through, for example, the marking up of texts, addition of illustrations, the disbinding of books or rebinding of fragments, as well as the manipulation of digital objects, thanks to new technologies involved in digitization, ink and parchment analysis, virtual reconstruction, among many other processes. This symposium will also tackle how popular culture has reacted to manuscripts over time as witnessed by their use and appearance in books, games, and films. Our keynote speaker will be Michelle P. Brown, Professor emerita of Medieval Manuscript Studies at the School of Advanced Study, University of London, and former Curator of Manuscripts at the British Library.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 2 Jun 2016 15:55:13 +0100 From: M. Luísa Sousa Subject: New book: Peripheral Flows: A Historical Perspective on Mobilities between Cores and Fringes Simone Fari e Massimo Moraglio (eds.), Peripheral Flows: A Historical Perspective on Mobilities between Cores and Fringes. (Newcastle upon Tyne: Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016). (http://www.cambridgescholars.com/peripheral-flows) Book Description The main purpose of the eleven contributions to this volume is to reconsider and re-assess the role of cores and peripheries in shaping modern socio-technical systems. From this perspective they explore a terrain of highly complex systems mainly operating on the so-called Western model: Railways, telegraphs, motor vehicles and airports were, in fact, all born in classic cores areas in the West and then spread out into the peripheries. The approach in itself is not new, but this volume has managed to bring out interestingly innovative elements and viewpoints. The contributors are not content with the traditional definitions of peripheries and flows, but tend to put them to the test, revise them and eventually offer critiques. The result is a tempering of the monolithic and traditional concept of a one-way transfer. No longer, therefore, a simple and linear act of adoption, but a recourse to adaptation – changes in meaning, use and perception. The volume is a starting point for future explorations on the subject of science and technology studies and takes part in a wider discussion of globalisation, global and transnational history.

Please share far and wide! Full details http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2016 All best, Élika (on behalf of the organizing committee) Places, Spaces, Sites: Mapping Critical Intersections in Digital Humanities ------------------------------ The 2016 DH Forum will take place on Saturday, October 1, following a full day of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on Friday, September 30. *Paper proposals are due Friday, June 10.* ------------------------------ Notions of place, space, and site are theorized and put into practice in distinct ways across various academic fields. Spatial technologies and location services and tools, along with the rise of geo-humanities work, are bringing the tensions among ideas of place, space, and site to the surface. Moreover, a turn towards internationalization and the global has been taking place in Digital Humanities scholarship and practice, further complicating our notions of space and place. Digital Humanities has the capacity to bring these tensions together in both conflicting and harmonious ways. The 2016 DH Forum seeks to explore the intersections, mutual critiques and/or coincidences among fields, and their practices and conceptual tenets. Place in Digital Humanities has largely been explored in terms of its relevance or pertinence in departments, on campuses, in classrooms, in libraries, etc. In a global perspective, places can be viewed as sites of distinct academic practice (DH and otherwise), influenced by geopolitical, linguistic and social asymmetries, colonial histories, and neocolonial exploitation. The web, virtual spaces of collaboration, and online communities are reinventing and complicating our understanding of space and our place in the world. Furthermore, various notions surrounding the ideas of place, space, and site are at the center of the geo-spatial turn seen in many areas of Digital Humanities. Still, what place, space, and site are remains subject to deeper reflection and articulation, even more so as their traditional definitions intersect with the digital. What are the implications of digital media and forms of data collection and encoding place/space/site? What are the challenges posed by historical notions of place/space/site to current thinking and technologies? Places/spaces/sites have overlapping physical, symbolic, affective, cultural, political, or metaphorical dimensions--how do spatial technologies help or hinder how we interrogate and represent them? What is the role of networked technologies to delineate, imagine, and create places/spaces? How does place determine our place in the world? What is the impact of race, gender and gender expression, age, able bodiedness and disability, language, ethnicity, and geopolitics on ideas of place/space/site? Does a place/site exist in a world we perceive to be in constant movement? How do notions of the local and the global complicate our thinking about place/space/site? We welcome proposals on projects, research results, or critical/theoretical approaches that address such questions. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: - Locative and spatial narratives - Location aware technologies - Migration and refugee digital studies - Border digital studies - Local/global uses of digital media - DH infrastructure and practice in global/local contexts - Commemorative sites, collective memory and the digital humanities - Online communities - Placemaking - Community building - Digital archaeology - Methodologies for analyzing unstructured data in a spatial context - Virtual worlds - Recreations of historical and fictional places/spaces - Indigenous, queer, and/or feminist mapping strategies or projects - GIS and historical GIS applications in the humanities ------------------------------ *DH Forum Student Showcase:* We encourage graduate students to submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. Up to three of the student presentations will be selected for a Student Showcase based on the quality, originality, clarity of the written abstracts, along with their alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The presenters will be awarded $200 each at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the showcase and award. For a paper to be eligible, at least fifty percent of the research reported in the paper must be performed by one or more student authors, and the student must be the primary presenter of the paper at the conference. ------------------------------ *Please submit 500 word abstracts in PDF format to idrh@ku.edu by June 10, 2016* --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2016 13:49:47 -0600 From: "C. M. Sperberg-McQueen" Subject: Balisage 2016, 2-5 August 2016 (plus pre-conference symposium 1 August 2016) Readers of Humanist will, I hope, be interested in the Balisage conference. Among the presentations this year are a case study from the Women Writers Project, an introduction to the Kiln publishing framework developed at King's and maintained at the Digital Laboratory there, a discussion of markup and processing challenges posed by soft hyphens in historical source texts, an account of the editing system developed for the Digital Dictionary of Surnames in Germany (Digitales Familiennamenwörterbuch Deutschlands) in Darmstadt and Mainz, a case study of the digitization of the second edition of the Trials of the Late Roman Republic, work on distinguishing the focus of annotations, and ... of course ... a discussion of a new method of handling overlapping structures in XML. I hope to see many digital humanists at Balisage this year! ..... Balisage: The Markup Conference 2016 Program Now Available http://www.balisage.net/2016/Program.html Balisage: where serious markup practitioners and theoreticians meet every August. The 2016 program includes papers discussing reducing ambiguity in linked-open-data annotations, the visualization of XSLT execution patterns, automatic recognition of grant- and funding-related information in scientific papers, construction of an interactive interface to assist cybersecurity analysts, rules for graceful extension and customization of standard vocabularies, case studies of agile schema development, a report on XML encoding of subtitles for video, an extension of XPath to file systems, handling soft hyphens in historical texts, an automated validity checker for formatted pages, one no-angle-brackets editing interface for scholars of German family names and another for scholars of Roman legal history, and a survey of non-XML markup such as Markdown. XML In, Web Out: A one-day Symposium on the sub rosa XML that powers an increasing number of websites will be held on Monday, August 1. http://balisage.net/XML-In-Web-Out/ If you are 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 practitioners, 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.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2016 21:52:15 +0300 From: Brady Kiesling Subject: ToposText mobile app evolution Greetings all, I hope that many of you have by now downloaded a copy of ToposText, a free (thanks to the Laskaridis Foundation) mobile app for Android or Apple tablets/smart phones embodying a large Classics library linked to a detailed map of Greek places. This email is first to let you know that a ToposText update has just been released, adding new texts and places and also links to the original language for the majority of texts where the Greek isn't on device. With 507 works from the Classical canon, 5200 places (including museums, archaeological sites, and medieval fortifications in Greece), and 183,000-odd indexed references to 2500 named ancient places, ToposText now has most of the significant texts and places from the Greek world up through 200 CE or so. The database is resident on your device, with no need for internet to use the core features. I have manually corrected many hundreds of coordinate pairs and added non-Pleiades prehistoric and other sites via Google Earth etc. Second, I wanted to solicit your feedback for making ToposText a more useful tool. I started out as an ancient Greek major in the U.S. in the pre-computer era, completed the first half of a doctoral program in Ancient History/Mediterranean Archaeology at Berkeley, then went off and was a diplomat for 20 years. A dream of my twilight years has been to reinvent myself as Colonel Leake or some more innocent early traveler on the Grand Tour, with Pausanias and Strabo but also (since the technology made it possible) everyone else in my saddlebags. My ignorance of key advances in the digital humanities has allowed me to blunder ahead on my own when wiser heads are being funded for projects of much greater theoretical sophistication. I learned regular expressions and primitive Perl scripting in the course of copying/digitizing, cleaning up, and (where necessary for copyright or other reasons) translating afresh the ancient texts that seemed necessary. I had crucial help from Bruce Hartzler, a very gifted IT guru at the Athenian Agora. But the core of ToposText is a brute-force manual assembly and cleanup of very messy data. I don't want that work to be wasted on myself and a handful of fellow throwbacks to the 19th century. I would be very interested in feedback in the following areas: * Anything to make ToposText a more user-friendly application and to lower the barrier to having students download and consult it. (Version 2, promised for early 2017, includes location awareness, direct navigation from texts to places, searching for personal as well as place names, working filters, including date, bookmarking, better feedback mechanisms, and more scope for visual material.) * Suggestions for faster map handling and offline map tile caching gratefully accepted. * Ideas for data visualization for the topostext.org web site, using free/cheap software to show the relationship between the target place, person, or text and the universe of ToposText places and texts, ideally as clickable nodes and edges (network analysis). * Ways to make the these 68,000 place-tagged chunks of consistently formatted UTF8 text available for young digital humanists to play with. Alas, the language of the translations is massively inconsistent, spanning four centuries and distorted by editorial quirks. My database includes Pleiades and CTS ids, but understanding the syntax/vocabulary for machine-readable metadata may take more lifetimes than I have. * Additional texts or more readable translations of existing ones. Plato's Symposium and (gasp) Nonnus are done but not yet uploaded, if you were worried about their absence... * A collective effort to translate Stephanus Byzantii. * And, of course, corrections to the hundreds or thousands of missing or faulty tags, vague or inaccurate event dates, etc. Please forward to anyone you think might be sympathetic to the ToposText goal of placing usable versions of classical texts in as many pockets and backpacks as possible.

Please take note that we do not know yet whether next year the Summer University can happen. We have to find new funding first. As ESU DH C & T is a member of the International Digital Humanities Training Network courses taken at the Summer University are eligible for transfer credit towards the University of Victoria Graduate Certificate in DH (see http://www.uvic.ca/humanities/english/graduate/graduate-certificates/dhum-certificate/index.php). Thanks to our sponsors, the following support for participants of the Summer University is available (see: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/623): - The German Accademic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers very generous support to up to 17 alumni / alumnae of German universities. Also former Erasmus-students or student / researchers of Universities of Applied Science, Art or Music Schools qualify as alumni / alumnae as long as they have spent altogether 3 months of their life at academic institutions in Germany, - The Electronic Textual Cultures Lab (ETCL) at the University of Victoria, in conjunction with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI), will sponsor up to 5 fellowships for tuition or travel available to Canadian and international graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, - CLARIN-D will sponsor a number of fellowships for participants of the Summer University. The fellowship will cover the tuition fees, - The University of Leipzig through its International Centre makes available up to 10 bursaries for members of its Eastern European partner universities. Should funds allow there will be also 1-2 bursaries for members of the scientific staff from its non-European partner universities. The Summer University takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session, and a panel discussion. The *workshop programme* is composed of the following thematic strands: - XML-TEI encoding, structuring and rendering - Compilation, Annotation und Analysis of Written Text Corpora. Introduction to Methods and Tools - Comparing Corpora - Digital Editions and Editorial Theory: Historical Texts and Documents - Searching Linguistic Patterns in Large Text Corpora for Digital Humanities Research - Lexicometric text analysis using CLARIN-D Webservices and R - Stylometry - Spoken Language and Multimodal Corpora - Digital Lexica, Terminological Databases and Encyclopaedias: Contents, Structures and Formats - Exploring art and technology within contemporary network culture. A close look at net art, digital art curation and its impact on the culture heritage sector - From Text to Map. Modeling Historical Humanities Data in Mapping Environments - Project Management - Data management for the humanities: from data warehousing to legal and ethical implication - Digital Research Infrastructures in the Humanities: How to Use, Build and Maintain Them Workshops are normally structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. For more information see: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/621 The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based cooperations and network-building across the borders of disciplines, countries, languages and cultures. The Summer University seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives, to name only some of the most important areas. The Summer University aims at integrating these activities into the broader context of the Digital Humanities, which pose questions about the consequences and implications of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds. In all this the Summer University aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide , i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany and Europe. But, instead of strengthening the hard sciences as such by following the way taken by so many measures which focus on the so-called STEM disciplines and try to convince women of the attractiveness and importance of Computer Science or Engineering, the Summer University relies on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders between the so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. As the Summer University is dedicated not only to the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but wants also to foster community building and networking across disciplines, languages and cultures, countries and continents, the programme of the Summer School features also communal coffee breaks, communal lunches in the refectory of the university, and a rich cultural programme (thematic guided tours, visits of archives, museums and exhibitions, and communal dinners in different parts of Leipzig).

How are national webs today different from how they were 10 years ago? Is it possible to compare national webs? And what are the IT-related challenges when doing these kinds of studies? These are some of the questions that will be addressed at a workshop on national webs, organised by the research project ‘The historical development of the Danish web’ (supported by the Danish Ministry of Culture), in collaboration with NetLab, Aarhus University, and the State Library, Denmark We never experience the entire national web domain when browsing the web but it is always there as a horizon, as the national context of our browsing. Studies of national webs can provide valuable knowledge about the characteristics and use of different nations’ web. Studies of the history of national webs can shed light on the development and the changing patterns and trends within and across national webs. In addition, studying the characteristics of a national web will result in a baseline for other web studies, for instance by making it possible to determine whether a specific website at a given point in time is comparatively large or small, dynamic or static etc. This will be of use when analysing in-depth the web activities that take place within a nation and to which the national web constitutes the backdrop. It will also allow for international comparisons, both current and historical. Studies of national web domains is an emerging field within web studies, and the workshop aims to bring together scholars, web archivists, curators and IT-developers working within this area in different countries with a view to advancing the field through knowledge exchange and new possibilities for cooperation. Submissions could include: * theoretical, methodological or case based studies at the intersection between national web studies and Digital Humanities * case studies of one or more national webs * contemporary cases or a historical perspective * theoretical reflections on studying national webs * methodological reflections on studying national webs, including discussions about software used for the study. A selection of the papers from the research workshop will be considered for inclusion in a planned edited volume The Historical Web and Digital Humanities: National Web domains, to be part of a book series about digital research in the Arts and Humanities at an international publisher. Please send an abstract of up to 300 words to Niels Brügger (nb@cc.au.dk), head of NetLab, Aarhus University. Abstract submission deadline: 14 August, 2016.

Mellon Foundation, will host its third annual digital scholarship conference on October 28-30, 2016. The theme of the conference is “Negotiating Borders through Digital Collaboration.” This conference will bring together a broad community of practitioners–faculty, researchers, librarians, educational technologists, and students–who are using technology to rethink seemingly intractable borders within and outside of the university. We define “borders” as boundaries that limit access; conditions that differentiate insiders from outsiders; or any obstacle that impairs open communication and collaboration. We invite proposals that explore or critique digital modes of scholarly, cultural, and political intersectionality. Special consideration will be given to proposals that demonstrate how crossing institutional boundaries, whether within or beyond the university, can facilitate the expansion of borders, broadly conceived. Some topics may include: Digital tools that bridge the gap between scholarship and teaching Computational methods that explore intersections of identity, power, and social justice Global and multilingual aspects of digital scholarship The role of technology in creating communities of practice that bridge cultural, racial, and economic divides Digital technologies that facilitate equitable collaborations between faculty and students, or that bridge the town/gown divide New modes of inquiry that negotiate and rethink normative ideas of gender and sexuality Forms of digital scholarship that allow for increased accessibility Presentations may take the form of interactive presentations, project demos, electronic posters, panel discussions, work-in-progress sessions, workshops, or lightning talks. We look forward to building on the success of the last two years, in which instructional technologists, librarians, archivists, faculty, students, and community members came together to discuss challenges, share working models, reflect on projects, and inspire new avenues for actively including students in public scholarly pursuits. For more information, please view our video from the 2015 meeting and visit the conference website. Proposals due June 15, 2016 via the online application form. Bucknell is a private liberal arts university located alongside the historic Susquehanna River in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. At Bucknell “Digital Scholarship” is defined as any scholarly activity that makes extensive use of one or more of the new possibilities for teaching, learning and research opened up by the unique affordances of digital media. These include, but are not limited to, new forms of collaboration, new forms of publication, and new methods for visualizing and analyzing data. -- Diane Jakacki, Ph.D. Digital Scholarship Coordinator Faculty Teaching Associate in Comparative Humanities Bucknell University diane.jakacki@bucknell.edu @DianeJakacki _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E467A6AEB; Tue, 7 Jun 2016 07:50:34 +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 AEDDC6AD7; Tue, 7 Jun 2016 07:50:33 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8F5E46ACD; Tue, 7 Jun 2016 07:50:30 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160607055030.8F5E46ACD@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2016 07:50:30 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.82 precision?

In-Reply-To: <20160607055030.8F5E46ACD@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Willard, I think what is actually at issue, at least in Hudson's Observation, is the nature of "potency" and the "powerful." If you see potency as correlated with the generative (as the word itself suggests) and you are a thinker, then you will prefer the ambiguous idea, for its generative possibilities. If you are looking for power, you may prefer the sharply defined idea, for its discriminatory value.

Mass Digitisation – How to balance the interests of creators and users? One day workshop at the British Library, July 8, 2016 The UK saw a big change to copyright legislation in 2014 including new laws which facilitate the use of orphan works, and the introduction of extended collective licensing (ECL). Differing forms of extended collective licensing are allowing mass digitisation and online access in many European countries including France, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Although the same laws are on the books in the UK, how, and in the case of ECL in the UK, if they can apply to mass digitisation, are important questions regarding accessing 20th century cultural heritage online. This one day workshop will discuss the legal and real world challenges faced by cultural sector bodies when trying to mass digitise their historical collections. It aims to explore and exchange ideas based on a fuller understanding of the differing perspectives of creators, researchers, cultural heritage institutions and intermediaries like collecting societies. Including: James Bennett (Copyright Licensing Agency), Richard Combes (Author Licensing Collecting Society), Meg Davis (Authors’ Agent/ Ki Agency Ltd), Carole Edrich (Photographer / Writer / NUJ Photographers’ Council) Aaron Guy (Photographer / Film Maker), Dr Christy Henshaw (Wellcome Trust), Naomi Korn (Naomi Korn Copyright Consultancy), Dr Katrina Navickas (University of Hertfordshire), Dr Bob Nicholson (Edge Hill University), Kate Pullinger (Award winning author of The Mistress of Nothing), Linda Royles (Chair / Facillitator / The MOCA), Nicola Solomon (Society of Authors), Victoria Stobo (University of Glasgow). Timing: July 8th 2016. 9am (for a 9:30 start) – 5pm. Venue: British Library, 96 Euston Road, London, NW1 2DB Invitees: Cultural sector bodies, and universities. Please feel free to forward to colleagues. The day: To encourage a free-flow of ideas the day will be held under Chatham House rules. Registration Arrangements: Please e-mail copyright@bl.uk with the words “mass digitisation” in the subject heading, stating your name and the organisation you work for. Due to limited places confirmation, and a full agenda will be sent to you over the next couple of weeks. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2016 11:45:46 -0400 From: Tommie Usdin Subject: Call for Late-Breaking News - Balisage 2016 It is not too late for you to speak at Balisage!

And also other instances, like the tensions between the body and technology, audibility v. inaudibility of text, sound and meaning, physical presence and/or absence of the authors, and so forth. The goal is not only that of generating a catalogue or a compendium of the contemporary effects of VOX MEDIA on the notion of literature, but that of generating an archaeology for VOX MEDIA and for all related phenomena repressed by their historical invisibility.

Many scholars know about fascinating, little-known, or understudied texts that deserve to be edited thoughtfully and imaginatively. We offer a venue to turn this knowledge into sustainable, peer-reviewed publications that will enrich the digital record of our cultural heritage. If you are interested in editing a small-scale digital edition, we want to hear from you. Proposals for the 2017 issue are due by July 20, 2016. Proposals should be approximately 1000 words long and should include the following information: - A description of content, scope, and approach. Please describe the materials you will edit and how you will approach editing and commenting on them. A well-researched apparatus (an introduction, annotations, etc.) will be key to most successful proposals. - A statement of significance. Please briefly explain how this edition will contribute to your field. - Approximate length. - Description of technical proficiency. With only rare exceptions, any edition published by Scholarly Editing must be in XML (Extensible Markup Language) that complies with TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) Guidelines, which have been widely accepted as the de facto standard for digital textual editing. Though experience with TEI is not necessary in order to publish an edition, a sense of your technical experience will help us to assess the viability of the edition. Please indicate your facility with TEI or explain why another technical approach makes better sense for your work. - A brief description of how you imagine the materials should be visually represented. Scholarly Editing will provide support to display images and text in an attractive house style. If you wish to create a highly customized display, please describe it and indicate what technologies you plan to use to build it. Scholarly Editing: The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing also publishes articles and reviews about scholarly editing. A CFP for articles will be forthcoming later this year. Edition proposals should be sent as Rich Text Format (RTF), MS Word, or PDF via email to: Nicole Gray (ngray2@unl.edu) 2017 Issue Editor, Scholarly Editing: The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 2507E6BA4; Thu, 9 Jun 2016 06:53:00 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D309B695F; Thu, 9 Jun 2016 06:52:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 27C696915; Thu, 9 Jun 2016 06:52:54 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160609045255.27C696915@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 9 Jun 2016 06:52:54 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.87 "this habit of profuse communication" 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: <20160609045259.23494.17821@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 87.

Harcourt (Harvard) Magic and Loss: The Internet as Art by Virginia Heffernan (Simon and Schuster) Updating to Remain the Same: Habitual New Media by Wendy Hui Kyong Chun (MIT) Mood and Mobility: Navigating the Emotional Spaces of Digital Social Networks by Richard Coyne (MIT) Pax Technica: How the Internet of Things May Set Us Free or Lock Us Up by Philip N. Howard (Yale) Comments on them and/or on Mendelson's review, are most welcome. His first sentence caught me: "Every technological revolution coincides with changes in what it means to be a human being, in the kinds of psychological borders that divide the inner life from the world outside." Note what aspects of our common set of concerns are identified by these books.

I discovered a video uploaded that documents a project where academics and artists collaborated to bring to life scholarship. See https://www.academia.edu/2647859/Bodies_in_Distress "Bodies in Distress" The arts project showcases work done at the Australian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (Europe 1100-1800) which uses historical knowledge from Europe to explore and understand the long history of emotional behaviours (Emotions shape individual, community and national identities.). http://www.historyofemotions.org.au I recommend a browse to those interested in the history of affect and also for those interested in how interdisciplinary work gets conducted and communicated. It is also an exemplary site for the presentation of academic work to an extramural audience.

Some theories of human activity may not be considered precise by some, or ambiguous by others, but a few have provided highly developed and 'scientifically' based frameworks for examining human history and relations - a different type of precision at a different level, but powerful. Strict historical empiricism seems to have a fundamental problem with precision and ambiguity. In computing, precision and ambiguity are also, often, confused. Ambiguity often resides in what some consider precise and its power is accepted/interpreted differently. e.g. Shannon’s Mathematical Theory of Communication which considered information communication an engineering problem - not an issue of meaning. However, by using computers to work with different level of precision/ambiguity (specialisations/generalisation) in the same continually evolving space, is, I think, potentially powerful. Slightly off topic but on the subject of engineers I just happened to be reading a chapter by Marc Bloch yesterday (homework), who said, *"With some reason, perhaps, the man of the age of electricity and of the airplane feels himself far removed from his ancestors. With less wisdom, he has been disposed to conclude that they have ceased to influence him. There is also a modernist twist inherent in the engineering mind. Is a mastery of old Volta's ideas about galvanism necessary to run it repair a dynamo? By what is unquestionably a lame analogy, but one which readily imposes itself upon more than one machine-dominated mentality, it is easy to think that an analysis of their antecedents is just as useless for the understanding and solving of the great human problems of the moment. Without fully recognising it, the historians, too, are caught in this modernist climate"* I should also say that I noticed the "Procrustean string" - a computer concept for a fixed length string. If a string is too short it is padded, if too long.....

We hope that members of Humanist will act as "veteran" leaders for some of the dinners. Is this your first or second time at the Digital Humanities conference? Are you new to the DH community? Join a small group of newbies and DH old-timers at a local restaurant and make scholarly connections and new friendships. It's not only for members of the ACH! The dinners will happen the evening of Wednesday, 13 July 2016, with parties departing from the poster sessions. For ease of conversation, groups will be limited to six people. Registration is already open and places are limited! Sign up at http://bit.ly/ACHdinner16. On the sign-up form, we will want you to identify yourself with 'n' for newbie (in your first or second year attending DH) or 'v' for DH conference veteran (no more than 2 veterans per party, please!). We will also need one veteran leader for each group, to make a reservation and walk the group over to the restaurant; long-term ACH members and other DH conference veterans are heartily encouraged to volunteer! We look forward to meeting you in Poland! ***Please note: attendees pay for their own costs. The ACH provides the organization and good cheer.*** _______________________________________________ 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 5597A6C3E; Tue, 14 Jun 2016 07:14:13 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 601A36C2D; Tue, 14 Jun 2016 07:14:12 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C9F4D6C24; Tue, 14 Jun 2016 07:14:08 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160614051408.C9F4D6C24@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2016 07:14:08 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.97 events: text, speech and dialogue 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: <20160614051412.21010.58795@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 97.

The series is interested in showcasing contributions from any area of the Digital Humanities and from any country. It will be initially a bilingual collection, with books in French and English, as well as featuring collective works with contributions in both languages; we hope to widen the range of language in the future. This collection will adopt an Open Access policy and will be based on the highest scholarly standard with an international Scientific Committee and peer review. This series with its commitments toward multilingualism, Open Access and high-level scholarship represents a unique endeavour and will hopefully attract both early career and more established researchers. The series is endorsed by the EADH (European Association for Digital Humanities) and Humanistica, (Francophone association for Digital Humanities). The University Grenoble Alpes is committed in the field of Digital Humanities, with several full time members of staff, a number of conferences and publications, projects and funding available for PhDs and research. Born in 2016 from the fusion of three Universities (Université Joseph Fourier, Université Pierre Mendès-France, Université Stendhal), the university Grenoble Alpes has been recently been awarded the highly prestigious funding IDEX from the France government (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiative_d%27excellence ) of which Digital Humanities represents one of the most prominent areas of investment. Thanks to the IDEX contribution, we are aiming at minimising processing charges, particularly in the case of early career scholars. We are now seeking proposals for books to be published within this collection within the next two to three years. If you are interested by this proposal, please get in touch with Elena Pierazzo (elena.pierazzo@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr ). We welcome topics in any field of the Digital Humanities as well as their connection with the Cultural Heritage sector. === Le Pôle Éditorial de l’Université Grenoble Alpes (http://editions.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr http://editions.univ-grenoble-alpes.fr/ ), récemment créé, entreprend de lancer une collection nouvelle consacrée aux Humanités Numériques. Cette collection a pour but de diffuser des contributions dans le domaine des Humanités Numériques, quel que soit leur pays d’origine. La collection est au départ prévue pour être bilingue, avec des livres en français ou en anglais, ainsi que des livres collectifs comprenant des contributions dans ces deux langues. Nous espérons ensuite élargir à d’autres langues. La collection adoptera une politique d’Open Access et s’appuiera sur les exigences scientifiques les plus strictes, grâce à un Comité Scientifique international et une procédure de peer-review. La collection est appuyée par EADH (European Association for Digital Humanities) et Humanistica, (L'association francophone des humanités numériques/digitales). Par cet engagement dans le multi-linguisme, l’Open Access et l’exigence d’excellence, cette collection constitue une entreprise exceptionnelle et contribuera à attirer des chercheurs aussi bien en début de carrière que des personnalités déjà reconnues. L’Université Grenoble Alpes met l’accent sur les Humanités Numériques, comme le montrent l’implication de plusieurs enseignants-chercheurs dans ce domaine, le nombre de colloques et publications, ainsi que les projets et les financements possibles pour des doctorats et plus généralement la recherche. Née en 2016 de la fusion de trois universités (Université Joseph Fourier, Université Pierre Mendès-France, Université Stendhal), l’Université Grenoble Alpes a récemment été adoubée par le prestigieux IDEX (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initiative_d%27excellence ) dont les Humanités Numériques constituent un des éléments les plus remarquables. Grâce aux contributions liés à l’IDEX, nous serons capable de minimiser les frais de publication, particulièrement dans le cas des jeunes chercheurs.

It might not be "the world's first mechanical computer" (what is 'mechanical'? what is 'computer'?). But it is an ancient analogical machine that models the cosmos and so is an example of how we humans have always been reasoning with machines. The Washington Post for 14 June briefly summarizes its history since the discovery, points to Derek de Solla Price's 1959 Scientific American article, "An Ancient Greek Computer" and to more recent research that has made visible and deciphered its explanatory inscriptions.

In-Reply-To: *How best to measure the impact of digital history projects?* MarineLives is a collaborative public history project established in 2012 to digitise, transcribe and annotate the manuscript records of the English High Court of Admiralty from the 1650s and 1660s. The original records are held at the National Archives in Kew. MarineLives brings volunteers together from academia and the general public and organises them in facilitated on-line teams, supported by its semantic media wiki platform, to create metadata and full text transcriptions for previously "invisible" historical records. In the case of our current project this is for Admiralty Court records. The MarineLives project team is now working with academics at the Universities of Manchester, Oxford, Essex, London, Saint Andrews and Leiden to explore possibilities for an 'ecosystem' of academics and interested members of the general public working together to create a corpus of C17th legal records from multiple jurisdictions and from multiple countries. Anticipated creators and users are early modernists of all specialities, including social, economic, legal, marine and material historians, together with the general public. The environment on which the records will be hosted will include a set of digital tools to create metadata, key words and full text transcriptions, and to mine and enrich the collaboratively transcribed data. Technologies we are exploring include semi-automated handwriting recognition, tailored user-influenced search, and digitally supported prosopographical workflow. We want to construct a successful example of team-based collaboration between academics and non-academics. You can read more about our approach in our recent paper Collaborating with MarineLives [ https://www.academia.edu/25982090/Collaborating_with_MarineLives]. How should we think about and measure the impact of the C17th legal ecosystem we are proposing to develop? To get the ball rolling, we have posted some comparator stats for digital history projects onto the front page of our wiki today and invite your comments [ http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/MarineLives#Measuring_the_impact_of_digital_history] We would also appreciate your suggestions on literature to look at and academics to contact who might be prepared to share data. We are using as our starting point a Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) report from May 2010 by Eric T.

Between these two opposite forms of existence there lies the possibility of better understanding via models. For the AM there is De Solla Price's - which I think is in the Nat. ARch. Museum in Athens, alongside the actual pieces, and more recently Michael Wright's, which I believe he continues to modify in response to research, and several virtual models on the Net. For the AE there is - still virtualland.

The course aims to update the knowledge and skills of cultural mediation in heritage sites and museums, according to the creative tourism requirements and parameters. Given the most sought-after tourist experiences are related to culture and authenticity, storytelling and pictographic methodologies emerge as new procedures of tourism promotion, cultural mediation and immersive experience. Therefore, the course proposes subjects in the traditional fields of history, art history, ethnography and literature, as well as heritage science, culture studies and digital humanities. http://amusearte.hypotheses.org/1343 -- *Dália Guerreiro* Gmail ; Mail UÉ CIDEHUS-UÉ/FCT http://www.cidehus.uevora.pt/ Sócia fundadora da AHDig http://ahdig.org/ Blogue Bibliotecas e Humanidades Digitais Twitter: @DaliaGuerreiro --===============5740508880393110045== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php --===============5740508880393110045==-- 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 772926BC2; Thu, 16 Jun 2016 08:31:51 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BEC886C24; Thu, 16 Jun 2016 08:31:44 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 360C46C1C; Thu, 16 Jun 2016 08:31:42 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160616063142.360C46C1C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2016 08:31:42 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.104 pubs: DHQ on pedagogical information design: cfp X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160616063151.31216.94782@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 104.

Colleagues, Please feel free to share the CFP below for a special issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly on creative pedagogical approaches in information design. Thank you, Steven Braun Northeastern University Libraries --- DHQ Special Issue: Creative Pedagogical Approaches in Information Design Submission deadline: 1 October 2016 http://dsg.neu.edu/call-for-proposals/ http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/submissions/cfps.html Digital Humanities Quarterly invites submissions for a special issue on creative pedagogical approaches in the instruction of information visualization. Contributions are invited on methodologies, tools, and resources that practitioners have used to teach any facet of information visualization, which may include (but is not limited to) best practices in design, the use of specific tools, or data literacy. These approaches may include any resources, workshops, activities, or other materials that translate principles of information visualization both widely across as well as within specific disciplines, cultures of scholarship, and technical backgrounds. Alternatively, contributions may be submitted about theoretical and philosophical perspectives on information visualization that inform the ways in which visualization is taught, where “teaching” may encompass engagement with audiences at any level of academe (e.g., students, faculty, administrators, or staff). Following guidelines provided by DHQ, submissions may include research articles, case studies, opinion pieces, or reviews, such as ones written about digital materials that have been used in teaching information visualization. Individuals who wish to submit pieces that are more experimental in form beyond the DHQ guidelines above should contact the editor (below) in advance to discuss feasibility and other options for execution. The deadline for submitting pieces is October 1, 2016. Full submissions should follow the author guidelines provided by DHQ and should be 10 - 20 pages in length, with the possibility of longer pieces approved in exceptional instances. (For more details about DHQ submission guidelines, please refer to http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/submissions/index.html). Please send all completed submissions to the guest editor of this issue, Steven Braun (s.braun@neu.edu), with the subject line "DHQ Special Issue Infovis." Please submit any questions or concerns about submissions to this address as well. Submissions will undergo anonymous peer review through standard DHQ review processes, and the editor(s) will work with submission authors to ensure that final submissions follow appropriate guidelines for publication in DHQ.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2016 09:51:49 -0500 From: Andrew G Taylor Subject: A Spectrum of Precision Hi Willard, A great post, thanks. I ran into a great Quora essay that speaks to precision in academic mathematics: "Why do people in the academia seek rigorous proofs even if there exists a simple but correct proof? " I tweeted it with the joke "What? Pi doesn't = 4?" A few observations. I tend to be a little cavalier myself, as opposed to rigorous, which hopefully has it's own merits. I think there is a *spectrum* of rigour/precision in scholarship, that together accumulates in a sedimentary fashion like a stalagmite to form a Discipline. This might include: * Cranks (victims of false logic, sometimes are fans of Holden Caulfield) * still-developing students * "Serious Leisure" hobbyists with long studying of a subject * "Dabblers" in scholarship with expertise in related fields (say, an engineer interested in the history of technological development, or a VizTech guy like me that likes history and New Media) * Scholars in the discipline with serious training who publish peer-reviewed works. Maybe only the last group qualifies as authoritative, though there is periodic idea turnover. Which brings up Max Planck's cynical quote: "A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." Harold Short wrote "If we worked routinely in the digital humanities with engineers and artists, it would transform our discipline and our conception and understanding of what we do." It's already happening, but people are still squabbling over the pecking order.

Every year, SEMANTiCS attracts information managers, IT-architects, software engineers and researchers from organisations ranging from NPOs, through public administrations to the largest companies in the world. Attendees learn from industry experts and top researchers about emerging trends and topics in the fields of semantic software, enterprise data, linked data & open data strategies, methodologies in knowledge modelling and text & data analytics. The SEMANTiCS community is highly diverse; attendees have responsibilities in interlinking areas like knowledge management, technical documentation, e-commerce, big data analytics, enterprise search, document management, business intelligence and enterprise vocabulary management. The success of last year’s conference in Vienna with more than 280 attendees from 22 countries proves that SEMANTiCS 2016 will continue a long tradition of bringing together colleagues from around the world. There will be presentations on industry implementations, use case prototypes, best practices, panels, papers and posters to discuss semantic systems in birds-of-a-feather sessions as well as informal settings. SEMANTICS addresses problems common among information managers, software engineers, IT-architects and various specialist departments working to develop, implement and/or evaluate semantic software systems. The SEMANTiCS program is a rich mix of technical talks, panel discussions of important topics and presentations by people who make things work - just like you. In addition, attendees can network with experts in a variety of fields. These relationships provide great value to organisations as they encounter subtle technical issues in any stage of implementation. The expertise gained by SEMANTiCS attendees has a long-term impact on their careers and organisations. These factors make SEMANTiCS for our community the major industry related event across Europe. SEMANTiCS 2016 will especially welcome submissions for the following hot topics: * Data Quality Management * Data Science (Data Mining, Machine Learning, Network Analytics) * Semantics on the Web, Linked (Open) Data & schema.org * Corporate Knowledge Graphs * Knowledge Integration and Language Technologies * Economics of Data, Data Services and Data Ecosystems Following the success of previous years, the ‘horizontals’ (research) and ‘verticals’ (industries) below are of interest for the conference: Horizontals: * Enterprise Linked Data & Data Integration * Knowledge Discovery & Intelligent Search * Business Models, Governance & Data Strategies * Big Data & Text Analytics * Data Portals & Knowledge Visualization * Semantic Information Management * Document Management & Content Management * Terminology, Thesaurus & Ontology Management * Smart Connectivity, Networking & Interlinking * Smart Data & Semantics in IoT * Semantics for IT Safety & Security * Semantic Rules, Policies & Licensing * Community, Social & Societal Aspects Verticals: * Industry & Engineering * Life Sciences & Health Care * Public Administration * Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums (GLAM) * Education & eLearning * Media & Data Journalism * Publishing, Marketing & Advertising * Tourism & Recreation * Financial & Insurance Industry * Telecommunication & Mobile Services * Sustainable Development: Climate, Water, Air, Ecology * Energy, Smart Homes & Smart Grids * Food, Agriculture & Farming * Safety & Security * Transport, Environment & Geospatial Posters & Demos Track The Posters & Demonstrations Track invites innovative work in progress, late-breaking research and innovation results, and smaller contributions in all fields related to the broadly understood Semantic Web. These include submissions on innovative applications with impact on end users such as demos of solutions that users may test or that are yet in the conceptual phase, but are worth discussing, and also applications or pieces of code that may attract developers and potential research or business partners. This also concerns new data sets made publicly available. The informal setting of the Posters & Demonstrations Track encourages participants to present innovations to the research community, business users and find new partners or clients and engage in discussions about the presented work. Such discussions can be invaluable inputs for the future work of the presenters, while offering conference participants an effective way to broaden their knowledge of the emerging research trends and to network with other researchers. Poster and demo submissions should consist of a paper of 1-4 pages that describe the work, its contribution to the field or novelty aspects. Submissions must be original and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. All submissions should follow the ACM ICPS guidelines for formatting. The layout templates can be found here: http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates. The best posters (5-6 papers) will be published in the digital library of the ACM ICP Series. The other papers will be published in the http://ceur-ws.org/. Papers should be submitted through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=semantics2016research). Papers must be submitted in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document Format) format. Other formats will not be accepted. For the camera-ready version, the source files (Latex, Word) will also be needed. Submissions will be reviewed by experienced and knowledgeable researchers and practitioners; each submission will receive a detailed feedback. For demos, it would be beneficial to include also links enabling the reviewers testing the application or reviewing the component.

I'm not as sure as Andrew Taylor that DH-ers are already working with engineers and artists as routinely as Harold Short calls for. To build machines that have the accuracy, reliability, robustness, and durability to perform useful amounts of [digital] computations is, as your Electrical Engineer showed you, no mean engineering feat. Indeed, it is one of the most impressive, and significant, of many remarkable Human technological achievements. Bringing about and sustaining the "sharply defined Boolean logic of the digital high/low, on/off, 1/0" you write off is needed for these machines to be [digital] computing machines. If they didn't behave this way, they would not be computers. At least not good ones, or not good enough ones. But, just because in order to be a computer these machines must behave in this "logical and sharply defined" way, it does not mean that all we do with these machines necessarily inherits these same characteristics. Not even when we use computers to do arithmetic is this necessarily true, as anybody who has had to struggle with the insidious and corrosive effects of rounding errors in large amounts of floating point number calculations will tell you. The logical and the precise that many people seem to see or suppose to be natural properties of whatever we do with computers are not somehow immanent in these machines. Only at their very lowest levels of binary operations is this true, and, as your Electrical Engineer explained, this is not a naturally occurring kind of behaviour: it takes serous amounts of detailed and ingenious engineering to make it happen, and to keep it happening. To attribute logical precision to whatever we do with computers is to commit a reification fallacy. The internal workings of computers are precise and logical. That what we do with computers is inherently logical and precise is an idea: a poor one. I have a steel ruler which has--over a 2cm part of its scale--finely engraved half-millimeter graduations. This does not necessarily mean that any and all length measurements I make using this ruler have a half-millimeter precision. They don't. The precision of my measurements depends upon how I use this ruler: my measurements do not, and cannot, inherit the precision of (a part) of the scale on my ruler. Rigour does not inhere in the tools we use; it resides in our use of them; in our practices. It is in our practices that we should look for this, not in the tools we chose. I see it as somehow similar with ideas, and not as Liam Hudson reported in your quotation. Ideas, notions, concepts can be made to have more or less definiteness and precision, but it takes serious and rigorous work to give them strong precision and sharpness. Like with tools, when we use our carefully engineered shiny, sharp, precise ideas, what we come up with, what results, does not necessarily inherit these same characteristics and properties. It depends upon how we employ and make us of these ideas. Just as with the tools we use, it is in how we use our ideas that any precision in what we do arises. It is not, I think, like Hudson sees it, that some ideas come precise and sharply defined, and other come less precise and sharply defined, and what derives depends upon the properties of the ideas we chose to use. No. Once again, its the practice that matters here. In skilled hands, a well chosen combination of seemingly vague and formless ideas can be used to say some precise and sharply defined things. Some poets are good at this. Similarly a skilled artist can use seemingly blunt instruments to create an impressively detailed and sharp image. In this sense artists and engineers share a robust concern for knowing what can be done with the tools and ideas they use, and for finding and practicing ways that result in the best that can be done ... which is often way beyond what others imagined could be possible. For your Electrical Engineer, the idea of a [digital] computer has a sharply defined precision and logic to it, and some considerable complexity. To many, may I say most, in the Digital Humanities (and elsewhere) the idea of a computer comes to them much less well engineered, which affords many possibilities and opportunities to use it to make spurious and baseless claims about the precision and rigour of what results from their use of computers. You can test this by asking what are the levels of accuracy and precision of their works, how are these levels known, and what levels are needed for the work to make useful and worthwhile contributions. (How many in DH know and understand the difference between precision and accuracy and how they interact?) Here I withdraw my grease smeared engineer's hand, but not before pointing out that Max Planck was not being cynical--he was making a comment on the practices of scientists--and to suggest that your Electrical Engineer's dream would be a way to introduce some routine into the working of the Digital Humanities with engineers and artists, as Harold Short well called for: some artists have long been attending classes in Electrical Engineering, and engineers often work with artists to realise their creations.

Data flowing in from, say, a probe on Mars is of the former kind: no single datum or small number of data tell us much of anything, even in the context of the whole mass of what is transmitted and received. The collected poetry of Seamus Heaney is of the latter kind: a single word or phrase, in the context of his work and all that it draws upon, is potentially inexhaustible in what it tells us about everything. Much mileage is now being made by treating smart data as if they were dumb, by looking at collections of them from a great distance, as it were. Other much mileage is also being made -- though this mileage isn't noticed as much as it should be, in my opinion -- by treating apparently 'content-free' units of language, such as prepositions, as if they were smart. (Actually they prove to be very smart.) In the former case we talk about a "telescope of the mind", to borrow Margaret Masterman's great phrase from the early 1960s; in the latter we might correspondingly talk about a microscope. But, I wonder, has anyone bothered to think about these metaphors carefully, to look into their contemporary as well as historical use? Ian Hacking once asked, "Do we see through a microscope?" Perhaps conversations with a microscopist and an astronomer would be a good idea to have. Hacking, as I recall, hung out with a microscopist for 6 months before he did philosophy on it. When we look at the very small and the very large we use strange instruments that are, if I understand these matters aright, black boxes. We learn stuff from them, with care learn to trust them. Some philosophers get very worried about the fact that the knowledge we gain from these instruments ceased to be directly human knowledge quite a while ago. I suppose someone whose reasoning is entirely in the head would get worried. But then we bring what we learn back to the human scale by "varying the cognitive span", David Gooding wrote. "Back to the text!", I learned to say as a fledgling literary critic, always back to the text. In the late 1970s Leonard Forster asked if literary studies were perpetually a flight from literature (Modern Language Review 73.4). Is that what's happening now, with computers, yet again? Comments?

That one sees a tool as a black box is a problem. The tool, of whatever variety from a compass to a computer, requires a certain way of thinking — it changes how we think. A good example is control of electricity through switching. Before the electronic switch in the 19th century, we had no good mental models of action at a distance. One cannot use a wall switch without understanding what makes it work. at some abstract level. If we take a computer, the user has to know a significant amount about how it works. Consider the file system. Having good model of the file system allows us to use this “tool” more effectively. I wrote a recent piece on this phenomenon: as it relates to the digital humanities: http://creative-automata.com/2016/05/28/digital-humanities-and-the-technology-red-herring/ The digital humanists are using computer and information science, rather than simply twiddling knobs controlling black boxes. It isn’t about technology or black boxes. It is about using science in the humanities. Recognition of this would make the “digital humanities” argument more immune to the scathing, and frequently illogical, arguments of non-digital humanists. -p Paul Fishwick, PhD Chair, ACM SIGSIM Distinguished University Chair of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication Professor of Computer Science Director, Creative Automata Laboratory The University of Texas at Dallas Arts & Technology 800 West Campbell Road, AT10 Richardson, TX 75080-3021 Home: utdallas.edu/atec/fishwick http://utdallas.edu/atec/fishwick Blog 1: creative-automata.com http://creative-automata.com/ Blog 2: modelingforeveryone.com http://modelingforeveryone.com/ LinkedIn: metaphorz Twitter: @PaulFishwick _______________________________________________ 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 F257977B7; Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:19:41 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E0ACD77B2; Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:19:40 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4EA0577AB; Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:19:38 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160621071938.4EA0577AB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2016 09:19:38 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.113 events: computer-vision for art; reading with GIS 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: <20160621071941.10333.72026@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 113.

This presentation will reflect on how conventional GIS techniques can sit alongside close reading. Using an example from the Heritage Gazetteer of Cyprus, we will reflect on how GIS methods can be used to interrogate a modern text which describes ancient places. A section of the itinerary in George Jeffery’s Description of the Historic Monuments of Cyprus (1918) will be “remediated” using landscape analysis functions available in QuantumGIS. We will conclude with some general reflections on the use of GIS methods with textual and other qualitative material. http://digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2016.html ALL WELCOME The seminar will also be screencast on the Digital Classicist YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIamtu1Z62wL5XRk2mE8HKw -- Simona Stoyanova Research Assistant in Classics and Digital Humanities Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane Strand Campus London WC2B 5RL --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2016 16:10:48 +0000 From: Emily Pugh Subject: CFP (DEADLINE 6/27!): 3rd Workshop on Computer Vision for Art Analysis Call for Papers for VISART: Where Computer Vision Meets Art (extended to June 27th) 3rd Workshop on Computer Vision for Art Analysis October 2016, Amsterdam, The Netherlands See: http://printart.isr.ist.utl.pt/visart/ Following the success of the previous editions of the Workshop on Computer VISion for ART Analysis held in 2012 and 2014, we present the VISART III workshop, in conjunction with the European Conference on Computer Vision 2016. There is no doubt that Computer Vision benefits from analysis of Art, not only for applications such as indexing into databases of paintings and drawings but also to move towards a deeper understanding of images in general. Historians of art and culture benefit from Computer Vision and related technologies via the automatic tools for assisting in the analysis of artefacts of all kinds. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researches in the fields of computer vision and art & cultural history to promote interdisciplinary collaborations and expose the audience to current results and open problems on both sides of this fascinating area of study. This one-day workshop in conjunction with ECCV 2016, calls for high-quality, previously unpublished, works related to Computer Vision and Cultural History. Submissions should conform to the ECCV 2016 proceedings style. Papers must be submitted online through the submission system that will be announced from this page and will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Topics: * 3D reconstruction and image metrology from paintings * Large scale 3D reconstruction of Historical sites * Object and people detection in art * Authentication and Forensics * Image representation in art * Visualisation and Interaction * Computer Vision and Cultural Heritage * Painting style analysis and transfer * Application of learning methods to art analysis * Interactive 3D media and immersive environments * Multi-modal multimedia computing systems and human machine interaction * Multimedia databases and digital libraries * Multimedia applications and services * Media content analysis and search * Multimedia and augmented reality systems, also in mobile scenarios * Security issues in the presentation and distribution of cultural information * Crowdsearching and interaction for cultural heritage _______________________________________________ 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 CAB2277CA; Wed, 22 Jun 2016 09:01:17 +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 CCEE16C2E; Wed, 22 Jun 2016 09:01:16 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C031777C3; Wed, 22 Jun 2016 09:01:13 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160622070113.C031777C3@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2016 09:01:13 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.114 qualifying 'Big Data' 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: <20160622070117.15689.96723@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 114.

I argue exactly that at length whenever I get a chance (next in Bremen, 7 July, http://www.woc.uni-bremen.de/event/veranstaltung-3/). Indeed, the tendency to turn away from the machine to its effects without first understanding what's at your back often leads to silliness or worse -- the DH equivalent of that which Sokol satirized? Hence the problem that I was point to: how do we cope with truly complex, therefore unpredictable systems? If, as Paul Humphreys (Virginia) argues, computational epistemology is no longer human epistemology, then how do we weigh and regard the knowledge thus obtained? Like most philosophers who deal with such matters, Humphreys is concerned with the sciences. But in computational stylistics, for example, and in adventurous simulations such as John Wall's of Paul's Cross, the box is black though *very* carefully constructed. How do we learn to trust a bridge, if it is that, out onto which no one has ever previously stepped?

This concerns the source data in the field of humanities as well as the ways to perform research and represent the results. On the one hand humanities have to tackle the challenge of capturing the ever-changing and fluently moving non-textual sources in order to organise them into research data. On the other hand computational analysis enables us to rework the data on a much bigger scale. The creative nature of digital humanities commits researchers to explore, discover and develop new possibilities for data analysis. We welcome contributions in the following areas of digital humanities: – mining, managing, analysing visual data; – interpretation of data and knowledge discovery; – visualization of various types of data (spatial, historical, folkloric, linguistic, etc.); – ideas, outlooks, developments and critique of digital humanities in Estonia and elsewhere.

Linked Data now part of the new data economy and Big Linked Data is gaining in use and traction. Systems are constantly being developed in order to support the booming exchange of data (existing in numerous formats) in the Web and the Enterprise. Linked Data benchmarks can function as valuable tools to objectively depict and illustrate the level of adequacy and thus performance provided by the existing Linked Data systems. This workshop aims to bring together a broad range of attendants interested in benchmarking Linked Data and aims at identifying the specific needs and challenges of the domain in order to foster interdisciplinary collaborations towards attaining these challenges. More specifically the objectives of this workshop are to: create a discussion forum where researchers and industrials can meet and discuss topics related to the performance of Linked Data systems and expose and initiate discussions on best practices, different application needs and scenarios related to Linked Data management. Topics of Interest =============== We welcome contributions presenting experiences with benchmarking Linked Data technologies as well as technical contributions regarding the development of benchmarks for all aspects of the Linked Data/Big Data lifecycle. All domains (e.g., life science, social networks, smart cities, news, digital forensics, e-science and geo-spatial data management) are welcome. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Linked Data benchmarks * Novel benchmarking results * Analysis of existing benchmarks * Novel measures for benchmarking Linked Data * Linked Data benchmark evaluation * Complex benchmarking pipelines * Application of benchmarks in academic/industrial settings * Tools and methodologies for the linked data generation and acquisition, analytics and processing, storage and curation, visualization and data access. This series of workshops are supported by H2020 European Project HOBBIT (Holistic Benchmarking of Big Linked Data), see http://project-hobbit.eu/. Paper Submission =========== The workshop will accept two types of submissions: short papers (8 pages) will be either position papers or describe early works in the area of benchmarking. Long papers (up to 16 pages) will describe benchmarks, benchmarking techniques or benchmarking results along the linked data lifecycle. Details on the submission process can be found at http://project-hobbit.eu/events/blink-2016/ Important Dates: July 7th, 2016: paper submission deadline July 31st 2016: Notifications send to authors August 25th 2016: Camera-ready papers for workshops October 17th or 18th: Workshop Submission Details ============ The workshop is now accepting paper submissions. Long papers (up to 16 pages) and short papers (up to 8 pages) describing approaches or ideas / challenges on the topics of the workshop are invited. Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the style of the Springer Publications format for Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). For details on the LNCS style, see Springer’s Author Instructions. Papers should be submitted through the EasyChair system https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=blink2016 no later than midnight Hawaii time July 7th, 2016. Submissions will be reviewed by members of the workshop program committee. Accepted papers will be included in the ISWC 2016 Workshop on Benchmarking Linked Data (BLINK) proceedings. _______________________________________________ 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 7BE6677E6; Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:36:58 +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 9B85E77E2; Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:36:57 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2422777C8; Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:36:55 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160624093655.2422777C8@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 24 Jun 2016 11:36:55 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.118 qualifying 'Big Data' 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: <20160624093658.17105.46157@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 118.

[I know it's a broken infinitive, but Pinker says it's OK to do this now.] Research and scholarship necessarily involves asking and answering Star Trek questions. How could it be otherwise? In the case of your bridge, the answer is to: (1) know and understand all the conditions in which the bridge is intended to be used; (2) know and understand the theory of structures and its application; (3) know and understand how to verify that the bridge has been designed in a way compliant with this theory, for all the intended conditions of use; and, (4) know and understand how to confirm that the bridge has been well built in a way that fully satisfies the design. Returning to your starting point, about instruments being black boxes, I would say, as I think Paul Fishwick is saying, the issue is with how we use our instruments, not with how we regard them ("see them"). They definitely should not be used, or thought of, as black boxes. To be of effective use in research and scholarship, tools and instruments need skilled users: users who know and understand the principle(s) by which the tool or instrument works and how it has been designed and made to be used in a safe, effective, accurate (enough), precise (enough), reliable (enough), robust (enough) way. A well designed and made (automatic) machine, on the other hand, needs none of this. It only needs a user who knows how to "feed" it what it takes in to produce what it puts out. The question is, therefore, what kind of users of computer-based machines (a general purpose computer running some particular application software) are Digital Humanists? Skilled and knowledgeable tool and instrument users, or feeders of (automatic) digital processing machines? And, for their colleagues, others in the Humanities, and the rest of us, the question is, how do we tell what kind of users they have been when they report on the work they have done using these machines? Let me quickly add, these are not questions particular to work in the Digital Humanities. They apply equally to any and all kinds of research that makes use of computer-based tools. They are questions that are not getting easier to answer, and they are questions that more people in the sciences and engineerings are becoming actively and noticeably concerned about. Is, to pick on a subject I learned about, computationally investigated aerodynamics sufficiently the same as empirical investigated aerodynamics? (As an aeronautical engineering student I had to learn and acquire the knowledge and skills needed to successfully use wind tunnel experiments. A notoriously finicky and uncooperative kind of apparatus.) It is impractical to demand that all researchers are skilled and knowledgeable users of the instruments used in some research, but someone in the collaboration must be. And this someone needs to be involved in the work in a way that their knowledge and expertise counts, and can be seen to count. To me, this isn't a Science vs Humanities thing, nor Humanities + Sciences thing. This is a research and scholarship thing, equally important to any and all who engage in this kind of work. The sciences and engineerings don't have a monopoly on how to do this well, but they do have practices that the Digital Humanities could usefully learn from, I would suggest.

To me it’s still of critical importance. If we don’t understand the box and what the results mean, then I don’t see how can we move from those results to an understanding of the world that they purport to represent which, for me at least, is the whole point of this to begin with. On the other hand, though, to what extent can a palaeographer reasonably be expected to understand the extremely complex algorithms that are being used these days, particularly when it’s by no means clear that all the computer scientists fully understand it themselves? This question was fundamental to the DigiPal project and is why I didn’t use these methods at all, as discussed at http://www.digipal.eu/blog/what-no-automation-some-principles-of-the-digipal-project/ It was also raised by Tom Davis nearly ten years ago in a very interesting article on bringing the (perceived) rigour of Forensic Document Analysis to palaeography: regarding automated approaches, his argument was that 'These methods are unlikely to replace, though they may supplement, the work of the document analyst, because, however powerful computers will (surely) become, it will probably not be possible to cross-examine them’ (n 27 in http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/library/8.3.251). It was also addressed extensively at two events held at Schloss Dagstuhl, which included a very interesting spectrum of people from ‘full’ computer science through ‘full’ humanities (and if not active engineers then at least one person – me – with a computer engineering degree). The results of those may be of interest: they’re available at http://dx.doi.org/10.4230/DagMan.2.1.14 and http://dx.doi.org/10.4230/DagRep.4.7.112. It seems to me that some problems can very usefully be addressed by black boxes, in particular those where I can easily verify the result as ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ and I don’t care how the result is obtained. In many other cases, though, for instance in the attribution of writers or authors, there isn’t any way of verifying the result and so I as a palaeographer need to interpret what the results mean. In these cases it’s not at all clear to me how we can use ‘black boxes’ at all. Of course one may also argue that the ‘traditional’ palaeographer can sometimes be just as much a ‘black box’ as the machine is. That’s probably a different discussion for a different day, but it’s by no means unrelated.

It is much aligned with arguments I use simply to explain what DH is rather than perhaps having to defend it. I do, however, find the notion of 'augmenting' or 'infusing' humanities with computer science/technology somewhat limited. For me, it doesn't convey the idea that this is a field in which humanities perspectives are the leading force. Instead of saying "DH is augmenting research methods in the humanities with research methods from mathematics and computer science" I would rather say that DH specifically works to the advantage of advancing, variegating, or changing research questions enabled through technological and computer scientific capabilities. (Admittedly, not a very elegant turn of phrase, I'll work on it.) The nuance I feel this specifies is that it leaves open the idea that humanities research can drive the development of technology and tools, and is not 'just' an end user of 'science or technology'. In itself applying technology to do the same work as before is less of a scholarly advancement than actually using 'tools' to change, enable, and develop new questions and insights. I'm not sure if augmenting humanities with the 'methods of others' acknowledges the creative drive I feel is incorporated in cutting edge DH scholarship that (rather than simply using, tweaking or programming knobs) develops that concepts on which new scholarships and the tools for scholarships can be based. This is both not to say that I think Paul means to exclude this in his argument, which he developed as a defence, nor to exclude other (e.g. digitising, documenting, capacity building, etc.) forms of DH. But thinking back on a previous discussion recently on this list, where I argued DH seems 'to lack intellectual clout', the ability that a humanities perspective creates the concepts by which science and technology can be developed I think contains the tenets by which DH can build intellectual clout, without even requiring to program or apply the tools ourselves (a next stage that needn't follow). In this regard DH could be geared towards the digital, without ever undertaking anything digital ourselves. (To what extend this is just philosophy of science or also more, is perhaps a further debate.)

The virtual lab has places for twelve volunteers - six historians and six computer scientists and coders. Participation is free in return for a time commitment of two hours per week for ten weeks. Enrolment is now open and closes on July 3rd. The Lab opens on July 4th 2016. We will be running three facilitated teams, each providing a collaborative experience for historians, coders and computer scientists. The teams will work on real life problems of relevance to all forms of historical research, and will have a direct impact on the future research and technology direction of our project. MarineLives was established in 2012 to digitise, transcribe and annotate the manuscript records of the English High Court of Admiralty from the 1650s and 1660s. We bring volunteers together from academia and the general public and organise them in facilitated on-line teams, supported by our semantic media wiki platform, to create metadata and full text transcriptions for previously "invisible" historical records. Team one will work on semi-automated recognition of handwritten manuscripts, using Transkribus-tools, applied to records from the English High Court of Admiralty and the King's Bench. Team two will work on tailored search of historical documents, and will explore improved semantic search solutions for our wiki. Team three will work on visualisation of historical data, working with a hand-extracted database of ship travel times between ports, and exploring the use of a Named Entity Recogniser to extract similar data for visualisation.

These methods will be employed in addition and complementary to existing research methods to further strengthen our research and to achieve ground-breaking results. Methodologically, we believe that there is a great deal to be expected for our research from developments in three specific areas in particular: text analysis, network analysis and visualisation. We would like to focus on these areas in our joint approach. Additionally, attention will be given to other innovative techniques such as system and data modelling (e.g. Linked Open Data), computational (meta) data analysis, machine learning techniques (e.g. deep learning) and information retrieval. At least one of the researchers to be hired will focus primarily on linguistic text analysis. For the Digital Humanities Group, we are looking for researchers with an outstanding track record in Digital Humanities. This can be either a humanities researcher with a clear Digital Humanities profile or a computer scientist with demonstrable significant interest in the humanities. Qualifications • an impressive research CV, including a dissertation, in the area of digital humanities; • demonstrable affinity and experience on a methodological level and with innovative techniques; • demonstrable ability to build a bridge between computational research and humanities, including working together with both groups of scientists; • ability to cooperate in a stimulating and creative manner with other researchers; • demonstrable ability to obtain external research subsidies. Employer The Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands, the International Institute of Social History and the Meertens Institute are research institutes in the humanities that are part of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW). These institutes closely work together, among others in offering an infrastructure for digital humanities research in the Netherlands. The institutes are going to further strengthen the cooperation in the area of digital humanities in the KNAW Humanities Cluster. In that context, Huygens ING and the Meertens Institute will move to shared accommodation in Amsterdam city centre at the end of 2016. The institutes have relatively large ICT departments and have been active in the area of digital humanities research for some time and in the construction of the requisite infrastructure to do so in projects such as CLARIAH. With the clustering of the three institutes to form the KNAW Humanities Cluster, a core of researchers will be formed, the Digital Humanities Group, which will be a crystallisation point for the digital humanities research of the cluster. The Digital Humanities Group shall consist of both existing staff members of the three institutes and new employees to be recruited. Additional information For more information, please contact Lex Heerma van Voss (Director of Huygens ING) at lex.heermavanvoss@huygens.knaw.nl or by calling +31(0)70–3315800. You can find information about the three institutes for the Huygens ING at http://www.huygens.knaw.nl; for the IISH at http://www.socialhistory.org; and for the Meertens Institute at http://www.meertens.knaw.nl.

Deadline Wednesday 6 July 2016. Queen Mary University of London and the British Library intend to make a PhD studentship appointment under the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnership scheme (CDP) from autumn 2016. The project will investigate the intellectual significance of the library of Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753) to the gathering and dissemination of medical and scientific knowledge in the Enlightenment period. It will focus on Sloane’s library (now housed within the British Library) in relation to his wider collection of natural and artificial specimens, now divided between the Natural History and British Museums. The research will be co-supervised by the British Library and Queen Mary. The project offers privileged access to Sloane’s books at shelf as well as extensive curatorial support in their study and interpretation, in addition to the standard academic doctoral training and supervision. The project is open to either full-time or part-time students. Studentships are awarded for 3 years (or part-time equivalent) initially, at RCUK rates and subject to standard eligibility criteria for RCUK training grants. Additional Student Development Funding is available to allow time for further training and skills development opportunities that are agreed as part of the PhD programme. If required, this may be used to extend the studentship by up to six months (or part-time equivalent). The British Library also offers the student generous research expenses funding, specialist training and access to work-space within its curatorial offices. Further details A detailed description of the project is available here: Sloane CDP Further Particularshttp://www.sed.qmul.ac.uk/Documents/News/177600.pdf [PDF 329 KB] . Candidates with interests in bibliography, book history, the material book, the history of science and medicine, early-modern scientific literary writing, exchange networks, and the history of collections will be especially welcome. Once recruited, the successful PhD candidate will contribute to the development of the final agreed research topic. Potential candidates are welcome to contact Professor Claire Preston (Queen Mary – c.preston@qmul.ac.uk) and Dr Karen Limper-Herz (the British Library –Karen.limper-herz@bl.uk) for further details. ****************************************************************************************************************** Experience the British Library online at www.bl.uk The British Library’s latest Annual Report and Accounts : www.bl.uk/aboutus/annrep/index.html Help the British Library conserve the world's knowledge.

(wnm)" Subject: RE: metaphors in - 30.110 qualifying 'Big Data'? Willard, Hello. With regard to "has anyone bothered to think about these metaphors carefully", my colleague (and IATH fellow), Brad Pasanek does just this in eighteenth-century texts. His recent monograph, Metaphors of Mind: An Eighteenth-Century Dictionary (JHUP 2015), historicizes thousands of the textual examples that are indexed at http://metaphorized.net. Brad mentioned to me one time that Ted Underwood nicknamed Brad's work with these examples "distant reading by hand." I take that to suggest careful and reasoned use of his "telescope".

One can hear me talk regularly the talk that digital humanities will eventually just permeate the humanities proper as an methodological advancement. No problem with that. But that is rather different from outright saying DH is and may not be research, and that its role shall be supporting, and shall be to develop methods for humanities research. Why was the need felt to point out in the very first sentence that 'God forbid, they will do something that will actually look like research in and of itself'? What is the subtext here? I cannot but wonder why one would want researchers for something that one does not want to consider actual research. All the best --Joris -- Drs.

Applying LT tools and data for such fields implies new perspectives on these resources regarding domain adaptation, interoperability, technical requirements, documentation, and usability of user interfaces. This workshop will focus on the use of LT tools and data in DH, the discussion will focus on example applications and the type and range of research questions where LT tools can be beneficial. LT applications are often trained and adjusted to individual text types or corpora published in specific formats. Using the tools in other contexts results in a difference in the data that is to be processed, e.g. historical data or different ‘genres’. Though it may seem obvious that the quality of the results may not be as high, the results may still be valuable, for example because of the sheer size of data that can be investigated rather than by manual analysis. Hence tools and resources need to be adaptable to different text types. Applying tools for data from non-LT areas such as the humanities also increases the demands on acceptable data formats, as the data to be processed may contain additional annotations or a variety of annotations. Additionally, in some cases new data conversion needs appear and the tools need to be robust enough to handle also erroneous data, giving meaningful status messages to a non-LT user. It is often also required that tools are adapted to the text types that they are intended to be used for. For example, data mining tools trained for one type of texts need to be adapted for another type. LT tools often need to be combined in processing chains and workflows whose exact order and configuration depends on the particular LT application. The same is true for DH workflows. However, since the DH applications often significantly differ from those in LT, new configurations of tools need to be entertained and additional requirements for the interoperability of tools may arise. This is particularly the case for interfacing annotation and querying tools as well as the incorporation of data exploration and data visualization techniques. The technical requirements of some LT tools and the considerable learning curve for its use poses another obstacle for non-expert users in the DH. This means, inter alia, that downloads of tools and complex local installations should be avoided and tools should be made available as web-applications whenever possible. Moreover, usability studies of LT tools for DH applications may give important feedback for the adaptation of user interaction, adaptation of algorithms, and the need for additional functionality. This workshop invites submissions in each of these areas of LT focusing on research questions in the DH community.

Perhaps my melancholy disposition stops me. In any case I look forward to the day, which I hope is nigh upon us, when to say that a position in digital humanities, or whatever it is called then, is intended to "support" research causes most acute embarrassment. I look forward to this day not primarily because it will mean collegial and institutional recognition of a field standing on its own as an equal, though that recognition is very important indeed. I look forward to it because it will spell the demise of a pathological misconception of computing that has weakened us intellectually for a very long time. It will let loose the intellectual power that is ours to enjoy. I am sorry the word 'revolution' has been so tainted by the hype-intoxicated bandwagon-riding crowd, because computing does have the potential in the humanities, as it has had elsewhere for many decades, to bring us around again to a new place, to that "unknown, remembered gate" Eliot wrote about in Little Gidding. Intelligence, unbounded curiosity, a *desire* to know and a worthy problem are all that are required. A computer with a fast internet connection and access to resources help too, of course. But the former comprise what is essential. With apologies and thanks to Alan Liu, I ask, where is the intellectual criticism in digital humanities? Comments -- or better yet, examples of where the collision of a scholarly mind with computing has struck some sparks?

I think to be honest that someone needed to crank out a 1000 words piece quickly, and reverted to sad stopgap rhetorics. In this type of article there's invariably a variation on this sentence: "Each time, in fact, technology ultimately created more jobs than it destroyed". As if—not denying here any of a job's power to be meaningful and fulfilling for many people—a job is the single quality of existence. Worse is that such multi purpose filler arguments ignore unintended side effects of technological development. Mass production was brought on by mechanisation. We know that it also brought mass destruction. It is always sensible to consider both the possible dystopian and utopian scenarios. No matter what Andrew Ng obviously should say as an AI researcher, it is actually very sensible to consider overpopulation of Mars before you colonise it. Before conditions are improved for human live there—at whatever expense—even a few persons will effectively establish such an overpopulation. Ng's argument is a non sequitur anyway. If the premise of the article is correct we are not decades away from ubiquitous application of AI. Quite the opposite, the conditions on Earth for AI have been very favourable for more than a decade already. We hardly can wait to try out all our new toys. No doubt AI will bring some good, and also no doubt it will bring a lot of awful bad. This is not inherent in the technology, but the in the people that wield it. Thus it is useful to keep critically examining all applications of all technologies while we develop them, instead of downplaying without evidence its unintended side effects. If we do not, we may create our own foolish utopian illusions. For instance when we start using arguments such as "AI may itself help, by personalising computer-based learning and by identifying workers’ skills gaps and opportunities for retraining." Which effectively means asking the machines what the machines think the non-machines should do. Well, if you ask a machine, chances are you'll get a machinery answer and eventually a machinery society. Which might be fine for all I know, but I'd like that to be a very well informed choice.

And then these theoretical models need to produce discreet results, such as a kind of hermeneutic. What kind of an educational background would this require? When I see computer people talk about the aesthetics of computing without having read Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Heidegger, etc., I think they have no right to talk about aesthetics. And of course no one has any right to talk about the aesthetics of computing without a thorough knowledge of coding either. So is this an eight year degree to attain Bachelor's level competence, or do we start on one end or the other and make up the rest as we go? What kind of results will that produce? I see new reading strategies in big data approaches, but I don't see how the computational element is theorized within the activity itself: would we think about big data the same way if we counted every word by hand? Why or why not? Do we think about the data differently when the programs that collect it are written in different languages?

You ask: > To keep the "computing" in "humanities computing" from being mere support, > doesn't it need to be theorized much more thoroughly than it has been? I’ve seen two words in the larger literature on debates in the digital humanities, and these two words deserve some discussion as to their potentially expanded definitions. You have used one of the words: “theory”. Scientists and engineers use “theory” differently than humanists. Theory in computer science is mostly built on discrete mathematics. I do not suggest that humanists curtail their definitions of “theory”, but rather, expand them. If you are going to use tools, you cannot help but include, and invoke, “theory" of the mathematical variety. Moretti is doing this with his book on graphs and trees. These are theoretical constructs in mathematics and computer science. Also, let’s discuss the word “interpretation”. In a recent article I published in 2016 Museums and the Web (March 2016) in LA, I made a point to declare that computational thinking and systems thinking were types of interpretations. Consider a sculpture. How does one interpret it? There is the humanist approach which tends to employ the technology of writing and print. There is a basic art practice approach of sketching the sculpture. There is the computer science approach of writing code. There is also a systems approach (closely connected with that of computer science) where the sculpture is composed of models. When a systems theorist looks the sculpture they “interpret” it as a set of models. All of these methods fall squarely within “interpretation”. To limit interpretation to only one technology (writing) seems narrow. It is likewise narrow to suggest that one must employ philosophers as the only means for devising an argument or conducting scholarship. Digital humanities suffers some of the same issues as computer science in naming. Computer science is not really about the science of tools but rather the science of information. Likewise, digital humanities is augmenting, not replacing, the meanings of words such as “theory” and “interpretation” since scholarly areas such as computer science provide this insertion.

I cover history from a number of angles at the magazine: through interviews with historians, through historical research and reporting of my own, and sometimes in collaboration with historians. One type of project that I’ve recently taken on--and that I’d like to do more of--is history presented using the interactive power of the web. For example, last year Slate built an animated rendering of the Atlantic slave trade, based on the Transatlantic Slave Trade Database. The interactive was nominated for a National Magazine Award, included in an exhibit at Chicago’s DuSable Museum of African American History, and shared widely on social media--over 280,000 times on Facebook, at present count. When the writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, no stranger to knowledge of slavery’s scale or horror, saw the interactive, it had a visceral effect on him. "This animated history of the slave trade is too real," he wrote on Twitter. "I had to stop watching. An incredibly effective piece of art." I’m eager to do more projects like this--so I’m going in search of historical data. If you, in your work as a historian or humanities scholar, have put together a dataset you’d like to see embodied in a powerful, polished interactive and broadcast to a large audience, I’d love to hear from you. What shape such an interactive might take will of course depend on the underlying data; it could have the scope of the slave trade project, or offer a more modest illustration of a historical event or argument. Here’s how it would work: Andrew Kahn, a multimedia editor at Slate, would build an interactive to deliver the information with maximum impact for Slate’s readership. To produce the text that accompanies the interactive, we could do one of two things: I could interview you and write the text--or, if you like, you could write the text yourself. Either way, you’ll get a byline on Slate, as the author of the data. Andrew and I are excited to hear from you. And, of course, if you’re unsure whether your dataset would make for a good Slate interactive, we’re happy to talk with you and think it through. Please email us if you’re interested, or if you have questions. Thanks.

However, 3D images are often merely used as eye-catching illustrations, their value reduced to aesthetic pleasantness or technological lure. This seminar will start by showing, through examples and case studies, the importance of spatial information (such as location, dimension, geometry) in the understanding of ancient places and artefacts. Then, it will discusses how 3D visualisation can be used as a powerful tool to represent and investigate this kind of information, enhancing—and sometimes challenging—our approaches to tangible and intangible ancient cultural heritage.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2016 06:32:37 -0400 From: Willard McCarty Subject: theory Paul Fishwick has in Humanist 30.129 usefully pointed out that 'theory' is not a disciplinary universal but takes on different meanings in different contexts. So, for digital humanities, we might say that 'theory' is under-theorized, or being less cute, that what we mean by it needs more thought. One exercise I did once and can heartily recommend is to follow the word as it is used from the physical sciences into the humanities, stopping especially in physics, economics, sociology, anthropology, history and literary studies, then looking at philosophy, computer science and finally digital humanities. That should be enough. Casually, as I hear the word used by those I usually encounter, 'theory' means any speculative thought related to computing that does not express itself in programming. I'm frequently cast as the house theoretician when all I think I am doing is wanting to have a conversation with others about what it is that's going on, what we're doing, what we could be doing etc. In other words, I think the word is being used very sloppily indeed. Does this sloppiness come, perhaps, from what Jonathan Culler once called 'just theory', or what others have called 'theory-with-a-capital-T'? Clifford Geertz's agonized meditation on the lack of theory in anthropology, in "Thick description" (1973), is to my mind a good example of an attempt to hammer out a term better than 'theory' for a discipline in which it did not fit. When (with apologies to Raymond Carver) we talk about the collision between computing and a problem in scholarship, what are we talking about? I think that's a much better question than the meaning of 'theory' in digital humanities. Comments?

Rather than answering the question, I would like to raise another question (in which there may lie a path to an answer): What is the difference between a theory and a model? In the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy's article on 'Models in Science', it is noted that: 'In common parlance, the terms "model" and "theory" are sometimes used to express someone's attitude towards a particular piece of science. The phrase "it's just a model" indicates that the hypothesis at stake is asserted only tentatively or is even known to be false, while something is awarded the label "theory" if it has acquired some degree of general acceptance.' (http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/models-science/#ModAndThe) Do we, in Digital Humanities, ever even hear the phrase 'it's just a model' as a defense for looking at a phenomenon with a hypothesis not borrowed from the humanities? A hypothesis that only exists as it does in Digital Humanities? If modelling is a "if not the" core activity in DH, do we not need a more expanded critique of the concepts theory hypothesis model structure as applied to "knowledge" from the humanities with its specific ambivalence and scholarly act of relating expressions of intellect to our own human conception of the world? It seems to me that the genesis of theory can be twofold in the "applied" Digital Humanities: 1) that which precedes the construction of a model and 2) that which follows from its manipulation. But that takes neither the lack of a set of criteria against which a theory might be validated into account nor the critical self-examination - the intellectual criticism - that should be inherent to any scholarship and also counts towards the theoretical underpinnings of a field (the meta level of theory about theory). Also, I wonder if the point of collision between computing and scholarship in DH isn't always in some way related to modelling and the feeling of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. To be honest, I"m not quite sure I fully understand what DH's attitude towards modelling as a "particular piece" of scholarship is, despite the work done in this regard. I hope I'm making sense.

Paul quotes Willard asking: > To keep the "computing" in "humanities computing" from being mere support, > doesn't it need to be theorized much more thoroughly than it has been? What is the /process/ of theorizing humanities computing, how is it done and ? Do you mean writing essays ahead of time explaining what you are going to do? What if you're not sure? Often in "humanities computing," the thing that is being studied doesn't even exist until the project is well underway, driven by the methodological skills of digital technologists and librarians ("information scientists," it's not brand-new). You don't have to value it, but the work of librarians and archivists in organizing information is built upon decades of information theory, and perhaps they have /knowledge/ (through study, training and practice) that some humanists haven't developed. It's interesting because many DigHuma projects are library and archive publishing projects that are based on little more than "we should take this great material and present it better using new technology" - not really Humanist theory, but Information Theory. Maybe the theoretical underpinnings for the "support" workers already exist, and they just /are part of a different, already-mature discipline./ There are plenty of scholarly journals that explore information science, just as with the humanities, and they contain good ideas. I think that the point of theorizing is to describe active process, with all its failings, with the hope of understanding that process and improving future implementations in the future. You don't get far putting the cart (theory) before the horse (the actual doing). In a new area of study, you have to explore first before you consolidate. Obviously I am not a traditional scholar (a digital librarian, mostly), but I don't see much point in my writing a fully-developed theoretical, interpretative essay describing a digital project I am still in the process of creating and that I am figuring out /through/ that process. Again, maybe the theory and methodology are based on the work it describes, rather than the other way around. Classic chicken/egg scenario. Hell, it's better to know what you don't know than pretend you can effectively describe something in advance that you've never even seen, much less studied. Just as the map is not the territory, the written description is a not the map. Regards, Andrew Taylor Paul Fishwick writes: How does one interpret it? There is the humanist approach which tends to employ the technology of writing and print. There is a basic art practice approach of sketching the sculpture.

In-Reply-To: <20160630114254.8882D791F@digitalhumanities.org> Hi, The question of theory seems to have generated some discussion, so here's my two cents. I think Andrew Taylor is right to highlight the explorative aspects of DH practice. Some DH is focused on a straightforward use of existing tech to achieve some worthwhile goal for a project - such as creating an online archive of some important images and text. It's easy to state the project, the benefit, schedule the work and demonstrate success, so it's easy to ask for funding. Other activities are difficult to propose or justify as a project because to say what they are about and what they will achieve, would mean you had already finished them. They are playful and explorative and you have no idea whether they're going to achieve anything at all. As an example, I have a personal project that explores the philosophy of free will, cognition and learning through AI. One of the most important aspects of it is a pragmatic, 'try it and see' approach. By trying to implement the philosophy in AI you expose flaws in the theory, and/or shortcomings of present day IT, or demonstrate how it works or what's missing. You learn things you wouldn't have otherwise and there is a cycle of play where the attempt modifies the theory and you make a new attempt. The premise is that if it's possible to implement 'being human' in AI, then rather than debate whether it's possible, I'll find out quicker by attempting to do it and learn a lot along the way. This doesn't mean you ignore theory and critique, that is essential to avoid naive assumptions about what 'cognition' etc is (which remains a problem in AI and robotics without a philosophical basis) but I'll end up with a critique that considers many factors that I wouldn't have recognised if I hadn't tried. Perhaps we could call this sort of thing, 'Speculative DH'. I entered IT after a very post-structuralist undergrad degree in English and Philosophy so I'm someone "for whom collision of a scholarly mind with computing has struck some sparks". Software immediately struck me as being an implementation of structuralism. Since I'd been taught to critique stucturalism, I figured I should find software development easy. But what would post-structuralist software look like? What is presence and differance in a computer? In what sense can binary logic be historically contingent? My earliest (fruitless) experiments in AI revolved around what I now realise were n-tuples (I didn't know there was such a thing as DH at the time), processing text strings on the premise from Semiotics, of 'meaning' being determined by context, wondering how a computer might 'read' the world if it's perceptual input was a stream of symbols. A lot of higher order IT phenomena easily fit into a post-structuralist and postmodern view - decentered networks (the internet, torrents, etc), and social media as decentered authorship, reader constructed ironic pastiche etc etc. But it's hard to see how it would work at the lower level. Computers work so well because of the structuralist paradigm of programming languages. The basic principles of information theory are also interesting from a post-structuralist perspective, particularly in relation to big data, and in a way that has social effects. As I understand Shannon, 'Information' occurs at the moment of disambiguation when a symbol in a stream appears. Each symbol in a pre-defined set has a probability of occurring and that is the quantified amount of 'information' that occurs when that symbol appears. Once the moment passes and we know it is the letter 'e' it's not information any more, it's knowledge. Before that, let's call it data. There are always caveats that this theory is not about meaning, or anything else except symbolic series from pre-defined sets, but it seems to provide a good analogy for a great many things. It is also interesting to apply a Derridean critique of 'presence' to Info Theory since it's the moment of disambiguation (the present) that is the important part. None the less, the whole system is not incompatible with differance because it relies on the existence of a predefined symbol set to which we must defer for the symbol to have sense. Those are just a few sketchy musings but it seems a good starting point for theorising Big Data because there is no *information* in all these masses of data we are accumulating until something is disambiguated to a person. A question is answered, a document retrieved and read, etc. It's important because there is so much noise in big data - what signals we get out depends on what assumptions we make - the predefined set of answers from among which we expect a disambiguation. (Even though we often claim that data mining can discover things beyond our assumptions, there remain assumptions about how to do data mining, which data to run it on, and in our interpretation of the reports etc). What potential information, or who, is lost in that Big Noise? The fear of Big Data analysis as detracting from the 'human' element of reading and experiencing a text (If you want to do humanities isn't it better to read 'Hamlet' than to include it in a computer analysis?) also hinges on the Information Theory model of our experiential process of information flow from data through the disambiguation (and affect) of it, to memory/past/knowledge, happening in a human reading. It's interesting that Information Theory puts the human experience right at the centre of the process, though I suppose that moment of 'disambiguation' could be construed mechanistically in a switching system - and so our theoretical excursion could easily segue into interactor networks, post-humanism etc. and also into whether that 'disambiguation' really means 'significant to a human' or a physical cause and effect which may or may not be the electrico-chemical reactions involved in the recognition of a symbol. If there is 'nothing outside the text', ie everything is a 'text', and we are always interpreting meaning, it's hard not to slip into seeing Information Theory as a parsimonious model for being in the world: as we are uncertain of the future, phenomena keep streaming in and become a known, unchangeable past, nothing interpretable without our prior 'set' of experiences. So is it because of phenomenology, ala Husserl, and the modernist 'stream of consciousness', that we have Information Theory, and that this has come to be the 'received view', the model, of being in the world?...

With apologies for crossposting.--Thanks, NeilOverview The University of Maryland is offering two Postdoctoral positions in the fields of Digital Humanities and African American History and Culture. Eligible candidates will have completed a doctoral program in African American Studies, Art History, United States Labor History, United States or Global Migration Studies, Digital Media, Historical and Cultural Visualization, or a related field in the past five years. These are full-time, professional-track faculty appointments for two years connected to our Andrew W. Mellon-funded initiative “Synergies among Digital Humanities and African American History and Culture” (AADHum). The 12-month salary for these positions is $70,000, including full benefits. Additional funding is available for conference travel and professional development. The AADHum postdocs in the fields of Digital Humanities and African American History and Culture provide exciting opportunities to contribute to a major interdisciplinary initiative at one of the nation’s highest-ranked public research universities, as well as to gain skills and knowledge related to emerging, innovative areas of research and teaching. Through these positions, the AADHum initiative seeks to advance and expand the fields of digital humanities and African American history and cultural studies, and to develop and diversify the pipeline for the next generation of scholars and professionals who foster engagement at this intersection. Roles & Responsibilities With supervision and guidance provided by the leadership of the AADHum initiative, the postdocs will work closely with faculty and researchers in their field of expertise, for example, with the Center for Global Migration Studies, or with the David C. Driskell Center for the Study of the Visual Arts and Culture of African Americans and the African Diaspora. Postdocs will each participate in and help coordinate the Digital Humanities Incubator training sessions for faculty and students; provide mentorship and research leadership to graduate assistants working in support of the project; and design a two-semester course sequence that engages first-year students with research questions involving African American labor, migration, and artistic expression that are tractable to digital tools and methods. These questions will be pursued through use of our testbed collections, including onsite, hands-on work at the Center for Global Migration Studies, the Driskell Center, and the George Meany Memorial AFL-CIO Archive. The ideal candidates will have both relevant academic training as well as experience with content management and digital humanities project development.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 08:32:09 -0500 From: James Rovira Subject: Re: 30.138 what is theory? In-Reply-To: <20160701112049.91EA47970@digitalhumanities.org> I agree that it is very useful to observe that what we mean by theory in the empirical sciences and in the humanities are two different things. But accusing the use of the word "theory" by humanities people of being cute, and exhorting us not to think about theory, is not a very useful direction, and only sounds like contempt for the humanities, in which case we've abandoned the humanities component of digital humanities. The phrase "digital humanities" only makes sense as a kind of humanities activity, not as a kind of computing activity, as most of the value added by field contributions seem to be to the humanities and not to computer science. There may have been some DH projects that really changed how we think about computing, but it seems to me like most of the work is to change how we think about the humanities, or to help what we have always been doing (such as archival work) be more effective. We also need to consider the actual nature of the object of our study. Is it a humanities object, so by extension, human beings, or are we studying material objects that exist independently of human agency? Trees grow on their own out in the wild without us: computers, programs, paintings, and poems do not. That leads us to another problem on the humanities side of it: there is no truly empirical science of human behavior in general, much less about complex human activity such as creative works. We can add the methods of empirical science to our study of human activity, such as the collection of quantitative data, but that doesn't make it empirical science, because our analysis is usually of something human behind the material objects that we study. I remember seeing a great presentation of a DH project at an MLA panel about the locations of different kinds of graffiti around a city. It created a simulated city, put reproductions of the different kinds of graffiti on the different city walls in the simulated city, and then analyzed the visual content of the graffiti relative to geography. The end result, though, is a kind of sociological study of art, or a correlation of different visual rhetorics for different city locations, which could be correlated with income or ethnic demographics. The end result is a study of the people who are living in the city and making graffiti. It's not an analysis of self-generating material processes like tree growth. So I think this can help us think about the word theory itself. What I think we usually mean by the word "theory" is the unseen or unreproduceable origin of visible phenomena. So physicists observe red shift and then theorize about a big bang. Freud observed a variety of human behaviors and speech patterns and then theorized the existence of id, ego, and superego. I think the word "theory," when used by humanists, fits this description. Using that word is a kind of honesty about the nature of our activity. Without that, we might be kidding ourselves into thinking we are doing a kind of empirical science when we never are. I think theory in digital humanities would have to take seriously the fact that computers and computer programs are human objects and talk about the interaction of these objects with the more traditionally understood humanities products that they are managing. I think this could be a way into a kind of posthumanist scholarship, as there is often an element of the unpredictable in our computing results.

The advent of digital humanities has challenged many aspects of academic librarianship. With the acknowledgement that librarians must be a necessary part of this scholarly conversation, the challenges facing subject/liaison librarians, technical service librarians, and library administrators are many. Developing the knowledge base of digital tools, establishing best procedures and practices, understanding humanities scholarship, managing data through the research lifecycle, teaching literacies (information, data, visual) beyond the one-shot class, renegotiating the traditional librarian/faculty relationship as ‘service orientated,’ and the willingness of library and institutional administrators to allocate scarce resources to digital humanities projects while balancing the mission and priorities of their institutions, are just some of the issues facing librarians as they reinvent themselves in the digital humanities sphere. A CALL FOR PROPOSALS College & Undergraduate Libraries, a peer-reviewed journal published by Taylor & Francis, invites proposals for articles to be published in the fall of 2017. The issue will be co-edited by Kevin Gunn (gunn@cua.edu) of the Catholic University of America and Jason Paul (pauljn@stolaf.edu) of St. Olaf College. The issue will deal with the digital humanities in a very broad sense, with a major focus on their implications for the roles of academic librarians and libraries as well as on librarianship in general. Possible article topics include, but are not limited to, the following themes, issues, challenges, and criticism: · Developing the project development mindset in librarians · Creating new positions and/or cross-training issues for librarians · Librarian as: point-of-service agent, an ongoing consultant, or as an embedded project librarian · Developing managerial and technological competencies in librarians · Administration support (or not) for DH endeavors in libraries · Teaching DH with faculty to students (undergraduate and graduate) and faculty · Helping students working with data · Managing the DH products of the data life cycle · Issues surrounding humanities data collection development and management · Relationships of data curation and digital libraries in DH · Issues in curation, preservation, sustainability, and access of DH data, projects, and products · Linked data, open access, and libraries · Librarian and staff development for non-traditional roles · Teaching DH in academic libraries · Project collaboration efforts with undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty · Data literacy for librarians · The lack of diversity of librarians and how it impacts DH development · Advocating and supporting DH across the institution · Developing institutional repositories for DH · Creating DH scholarship from the birth of digital objects · Consortial collaborations on DH projects · Establishing best practices for dh labs, networks, and services · Assessing, evaluating, and peer reviewing DH projects and librarians. Articles may be theoretical or ideological discussions, case studies, best practices, research studies, and opinion pieces or position papers. Proposals should consist of an abstract of up to 500 words and up to six keywords describing the article, together with complete author contact information. Articles should be in the range of 20 double-spaced pages in length. Please consult the following link that contains instructions for authors: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=wcul20&page=instructions#.V0DJWE0UUdU. Please submit proposals to Kevin Gunn (gunn@cua.edu) by August 17, 2016; please do not use Scholar One for submitting proposals. First drafts of accepted proposals will be due by February 1, 2017 with the issue being published in the fall of 2017. Feel free to contact the editors with any questions that you may have.

In-Reply-To: <20160702133221.C574977C6@digitalhumanities.org> Dear James, all, I am not so sure that, as you write, "what we mean by theory in the empirical sciences and in the humanities are two different things". In the end, the humanities and sciences are part of the same family tree of knowledge. Thus in the humanities we find testable theories like stemmatic philology by Lachmann, harmony theory by Schenker, the literary theory of Propp and later narratologists, the art historical theories of the Vienna school, just to mention a few, And it's easy to find such theories in the current humanities as well (incl. digital humanities). These theories make predictions that are testable, for instance regarding the reconstruction of a text from extant copies, patterns in tales, or the attribution of a musical piece to a composer. Of course, the objects in the humanities have been created by humans, but when these objects manifest themselves in the form of manuscripts, pieces of music, literary works, sculptures, grammar books, plays, poems and paintings, they are obviously just as open as other objects to empirical research and the development of hypotheses. There's a whole new journal on these issues (History of Humanities), see the editorial http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/685056 My 5 cts.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 08:32:09 -0500 From: James Rovira Subject: Re: 30.138 what is theory? In-Reply-To: <20160701112049.91EA47970@digitalhumanities.org> I agree that it is very useful to observe that what we mean by theory in the empirical sciences and in the humanities are two different things. But accusing the use of the word "theory" by humanities people of being cute, and exhorting us not to think about theory, is not a very useful direction, and only sounds like contempt for the humanities, in which case we've abandoned the humanities component of digital humanities. The phrase "digital humanities" only makes sense as a kind of humanities activity, not as a kind of computing activity, as most of the value added by field contributions seem to be to the humanities and not to computer science. There may have been some DH projects that really changed how we think about computing, but it seems to me like most of the work is to change how we think about the humanities, or to help what we have always been doing (such as archival work) be more effective. We also need to consider the actual nature of the object of our study. Is it a humanities object, so by extension, human beings, or are we studying material objects that exist independently of human agency? Trees grow on their own out in the wild without us: computers, programs, paintings, and poems do not. That leads us to another problem on the humanities side of it: there is no truly empirical science of human behavior in general, much less about complex human activity such as creative works. We can add the methods of empirical science to our study of human activity, such as the collection of quantitative data, but that doesn't make it empirical science, because our analysis is usually of something human behind the material objects that we study. I remember seeing a great presentation of a DH project at an MLA panel about the locations of different kinds of graffiti around a city. It created a simulated city, put reproductions of the different kinds of graffiti on the different city walls in the simulated city, and then analyzed the visual content of the graffiti relative to geography. The end result, though, is a kind of sociological study of art, or a correlation of different visual rhetorics for different city locations, which could be correlated with income or ethnic demographics. The end result is a study of the people who are living in the city and making graffiti. It's not an analysis of self-generating material processes like tree growth. So I think this can help us think about the word theory itself. What I think we usually mean by the word "theory" is the unseen or unreproduceable origin of visible phenomena. So physicists observe red shift and then theorize about a big bang. Freud observed a variety of human behaviors and speech patterns and then theorized the existence of id, ego, and superego. I think the word "theory," when used by humanists, fits this description. Using that word is a kind of honesty about the nature of our activity. Without that, we might be kidding ourselves into thinking we are doing a kind of empirical science when we never are. I think theory in digital humanities would have to take seriously the fact that computers and computer programs are human objects and talk about the interaction of these objects with the more traditionally understood humanities products that they are managing. I think this could be a way into a kind of posthumanist scholarship, as there is often an element of the unpredictable in our computing results. Jim R --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Jul 2016 12:40:07 +0000 From: Benjamin Vis Subject: what is theory? In-Reply-To: <20160702133221.C574977C6@digitalhumanities.org> A remark made by Jim Rovira compels me to chip in: "...there is no truly empirical science of human behavior in general". Technically, I think 'ethology' is the field/discipline that could be described as a truly empirical science of human behaviour. The important distinction to make is between the kinds of knowledge or understanding we seek to produce. This also requires one to be convinced that there is something specific about human being studying human beings (and their output) which creates knowledge and understanding that is allowed to behave and operate with a distinct validation and evaluation. I think there is. Usually I describe that kind of knowledge as 'interpretive' or 'ideational'. Definitely some Digital Humanities work is located between or at least combines interpretive and empirical aspects. Fortunately, this is not without precedent. Archaeology has been faced with this divide in its very (material) basis. (More often than not archaeology is located within the humanities, but I often think more usefully placed in the social sciences. Then, the distinction between these two, both studying human beings, to me has always been vague. Even though there is usually a degree of difference between the two in the kind of paradigms, methods, subjects, and use/applications of knowledge sought. It should be said there is also archaeological science, proper.) I will further admit that being an archaeologist (and some other things, human geographer and urban design theorist come to mind) within the Digital Humanities, I often don't feel my workflows and perspectives are being represented in the dominant trends of the field. However, I have the constant need and challenge to marry empirical data and ideational/interpretive theory. Theory in archaeology, after having moved through several dominant paradigms, is not a stable field. Exactly because it is so broad as to cover scientific, social, and humanistic purposes 'comfortably' under one disciplinary banner, for every position there will be people taking exception to it. Nonetheless, I think archaeological theorising is not a bad place to look to see both what kind of 'solutions' as well as unease is produced by the need for this intellectual merger. Furthermore, anthropology and architecture also have some theoretical discourse that relates well to this. It strikes me that in positioning the humanities as research practice that didn't (for the most part) have to contend with this, but in its digital guise may have to start to, examples and an evidence base would not go amiss. Finally, in theory building (for concepts, objects of study, data formats, and philosophy of science) I have found Critical Realist philosophy of science quite useful, as well as Smith's (2011) Empirical Urban Theory for Archaeologists, developing and exemplifying the idea of empirical theory, following Robert Merton and Roy Ellen. Furthermore, in establishing theoretical work within Digital Humanities (as anywhere), it is hugely important to distinguish between 'theory' as a 'hypothesis', 'model', 'framework', or 'interpretation' (with there being some overlap between these, depending on the stage of the research project and the nature/format of the intellectual departure point).

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 10:23:32 -0400 From: Ryan Deschamps Subject: Re: 30.143 what is theory? In-Reply-To: <20160704060038.6CBA1787D@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, As a social scientist (who flipped from the Humanities), what counts as theory is something driven into our brains. A discussion in Paul Sabatier's _Theories of the Policy Process_ helps me put the pieces together. In it, Elinor Ostrom and others discuss "theory" at length (or worse "substantive theory") and try to place the word in context with other similar-but-different words like "framework," "model" and the word familiar to the humanities, "metaphor." I could go into the definitions at length, but perhaps it's just easier to say that a strong theory is backed by a framework that states the important variables, and fronted by a number of useful models that can help test whether a phenomenon fits or does not fit into the theory. Even now, it seems to me that computational methods of research in any field are short on theory. In the humanities, it is perhaps equally rare for the simple reason that much of the humanities focuses on studying things that are intentionally novel (including novels). Even when studying a particular period, like the Victorian, what makes research exciting is understanding differences as well as similarities in the field. In scientific terms, I always expect a rejection of the null hypothesis in humanities research or i'm not interested. Of course Kierkegaard has a different view of Socrates than Hegel - otherwise, why write it _On the Concept of Irony_? In science, the approach would be to expect a stable result and report when something untoward happens. I see the theoretic process as different from the use of stochastic tools in the humanities as well. If we hypothesize that sonnets are in iambic pentameter, and Shakespeare goes with the line "And perspective it is best painter's art," we do not interpret this as a unique phenomenon, but Shakespeare using form to try and point something out to us. The surprising result is not a surprise. In network analysis, we have a similar problem. Networks form based on a wide range of variables, both exogenous and endogenous to the network itself. The differences between networks are usually based on common sense and networks in my field (public policy) tend to change so frequently that the only real theory we have is "things are complex." Thus, the network "theory" is often accused of being merely "metaphor" (see Keith Dowding "Model or metaphor? A critical review of the policy network approach" for the whole story). In this context, "metaphor" means a way of describing a phenomenon with no clear expectation of a particular result. I don't see this as much of a problem for research, but in a field where you are expected to make recommendations about things, it would be much nicer to have something more predictive. (Except if people were predictable they would be much easier to control and that would be a dangerous thing for governments to know about, so a big qualifier on the word "nicer".) It seems to me that computational research is more like poetry than science. It uses science of course, but to me design and code is a complex bricolage of metaphors that forms into a digital design.

We will highlight existing problems in the encoding of geospatial patterns in ancient geographical descriptions, focusing on what is currently available and what can be done to improve this research.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2016 11:09:39 -0400 From: "David L. Hoover" Subject: Re: 30.140 what is theory? In-Reply-To: <20160702133221.C574977C6@digitalhumanities.org> I think Jim Rovira is right that many humanities questions are not amenable to purely empirical approaches or theories. I tend to be less interested in such questions than in ones that are more amenable to testable theories, but I would not claim they are not worth asking, as I have recently written the the new /Debates in the Digital Humanities/. One of Stephen Ramsay's examples seems a good one. He suggests that the claim that Woolf's /The Waves/ has a playful formal style is not amenable to empirical research, and I think this is true, thought trying to formulate the question in a form in which it might be amenable seems worth making. On the other hand, Freud's theory does not seem testable in any meaningful sense, and I find such theories of limited interest. In contrast, Skinner's theory of operant conditioning as a way of explaining and predicting _some kinds_ of human behavior is easily testable. Jim is also right, of course, that poems don't exist without human beings, but human beings do seem to me to fit precisely in the category with which he tries to contrast them: human beings are "material objects that exist independently of human agency". There's no reason, in principal, that the products of human agency or that agency itself shouldn't be amenable to strictly empirical study, and there has been a great deal of such research already. I think my colleague John Guillory is right in arguing that "If positivism is a holistic or totalizing ideology that reserves the name of knowledge only for the results of the scientific method (narrowly defined), it does not follow that the critical disciplines must be based on a counter-holism in which everything is interpretation, in which the very possibility of a positive knowledge is called into question" ("The Sokal Affair and the History of Criticism." /Critical Inquiry/, 28(2):2002: 504) David Hoover On 7/2/2016 9:32 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 140. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2016 08:32:09 -0500 > From: James Rovira > Subject: Re: 30.138 what is theory? > In-Reply-To: <20160701112049.91EA47970@digitalhumanities.org> > > I agree that it is very useful to observe that what we mean by theory in the empirical sciences and in the humanities are two different things. > > But accusing the use of the word "theory" by humanities people of being cute, and exhorting us not to think about theory, is not a very useful direction, and only sounds like contempt for the humanities, in which case we've abandoned the humanities component of digital humanities. The phrase "digital humanities" only makes sense as a kind of humanities activity, not as a kind of computing activity, as most of the value added by field contributions seem to be to the humanities and not to computer science. There may have been some DH projects that really changed how we think about computing, but it seems to me like most of the work is to change how we think about the humanities, or to help what we have always been doing (such as archival work) be more effective. > > We also need to consider the actual nature of the object of our study. Is it a humanities object, so by extension, human beings, or are we studying material objects that exist independently of human agency? Trees grow on their own out in the wild without us: computers, programs, paintings, and poems do not. > > That leads us to another problem on the humanities side of it: there is no truly empirical science of human behavior in general, much less about complex human activity such as creative works. We can add the methods of empirical science to our study of human activity, such as the collection of quantitative data, but that doesn't make it empirical science, because our analysis is usually of something human behind the material objects that we study. > > I remember seeing a great presentation of a DH project at an MLA panel about the locations of different kinds of graffiti around a city. It created a simulated city, put reproductions of the different kinds of graffiti on the different city walls in the simulated city, and then analyzed the visual content of the graffiti relative to geography. The end result, though, is a kind of sociological study of art, or a correlation of different visual rhetorics for different city locations, which could be correlated with income or ethnic demographics. The end result is a study of the people who are living in the city and making graffiti. It's not an analysis of self-generating material processes like tree growth. > > So I think this can help us think about the word theory itself. What I think we usually mean by the word "theory" is the unseen or unreproduceable origin of visible phenomena. So physicists observe red shift and then theorize about a big bang. Freud observed a variety of human behaviors and speech patterns and then theorized the existence of id, ego, and superego. I think the word "theory," when used by humanists, fits this description. Using that word is a kind of honesty about the nature of our activity. Without that, we might be kidding ourselves into thinking we are doing a kind of empirical science when we never are. > > I think theory in digital humanities would have to take seriously the fact that computers and computer programs are human objects and talk about the interaction of these objects with the more traditionally understood humanities products that they are managing. I think this could be a way into a kind of posthumanist scholarship, as there is often an element of the unpredictable in our computing results. > > Jim R -- David L.
