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.

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.

He writes that, > human beings do seem to me to fit precisely in the category with > which [Jim Rovira] 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. Strictly speaking, i.e. non-exclusively, 'human beings are "material objects" that exist independently of human agency', and much can be learned by studying them in that light. But, of course, when such a wide-mesh net is used much is not caught. I am reminded of a thought-experiment suggested by the English astrophysicist Sir Arthur Eddington, paraphrased thus by Richard W. Hamming: > Some men went fishing in the sea with a net, and upon > examining what they caught they concluded that there was a minimum > size to the fish in the sea. In other words, we can model just about anything computationally, including human emotions, but by definition no model is entirely true to the thing modelled. The problem is, I suppose, balancing between the truth it tells and the untruth it uses to do that. Comments?

A researcher (or team) has an idea about how something is or how it works and after considering what is known in that area, comes up with a hypothesis which seems interesting, explains something beyond what is known, and hopefully makes some predictions. When there are predictions, further thinking may result in a plan of observation and/or experiment which could produce results (data) which might either show that the hypothesis wasn't on the right track or which might be consistent with the predictions. After a sequence of these efforts, a theory is formulated which covers this hypothesis and perhaps some related ones, and there is now a larger body of thinking, of models and predictions that can be shared with others and applied to future work. Perhaps even applied to some useful end. Or perhaps more work (thinking) goes on before it is possible to collect data - a la String Theory. But even there, it is clear that the hope is that some day there will be observations and/or experiments which produce data and which will be used in further testing of the theory. I come at this as a scientist, and so I didn't cite any philosophers or use any fanciful terminology - perhaps philosophers and humanists might not agree. Also I may not have used such terms as "hypothesis" and "theory" quite correctly - but I really don't care. What's important to me (and I think to essentially all of science) are the results, the progress in understanding the fields of study and furthering the ability to use the results. My frustration at this thread on "what is theory?" may be evident. I have one toe dipped into the ocean of Digital Humanities. My computer geeky and stat/math activities led me into this area, and I really want to see progress in the DH. My idea of "progress" is achieving results which impact both the digital and humanities worlds and which couldn't have happened without collaboration of both. My own poking around in DH has been in the area of computer analysis of textual material. I know that textual material has arisen via human agency, as have computers and programs. But rather than go into the ideology of what we, as humans can or can't study - I'd rather jump right into the hypotheses regarding texts (e.g. style, patterns, inferences about the human creator(s), ...) and not worry at all about the philosophy of empirical data, since I'm too busy looking at results on the screen. (In a previous day I would have said, "looking at the printout." :-) I remember some research on who the authors of the pseudonymous Federalist Papers might be. That yielded some interesting results. But I don't remember that people were worried about whether they were exploring "hypotheses" or "theories". --henry schaffer _______________________________________________ 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 C55B57A19; Sun, 10 Jul 2016 09:41:16 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EED0F7A10; Sun, 10 Jul 2016 09:41:15 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 94BD67A10; Sun, 10 Jul 2016 09:41:13 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160710074113.94BD67A10@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2016 09:41:13 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.153 how digital humanists use GitHub 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: <20160710074116.23726.43607@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 153. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org [1] From: Andrew G Taylor (63) Subject: Survey studying how Digital Humanist use GitHub [2] From: Lisa Spiro (53) Subject: Re: Survey studying how Digital Humanist use GitHub --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2016 09:26:27 -0500 From: Andrew G Taylor Subject: Survey studying how Digital Humanist use GitHub Hi all, Given the discussion of process in Digital Humanities, I thought the following might interest some of you. Rice DigHuma scholar Lisa Spiro has created a survey asking how Digital Humanists use GitHub (about ). I'm going to fill out a response today. Here are the pertinent links for that, followed by the Comment I wrote on the blogpost announcing it, I mention an "open notebook history" project by a Rice professor that may also be of interest. - Andrew Taylor Lisa's Blogpost * Survey questions + consent (revised 11 May 2016) * Interview consent form * Interview questions (these may evolve) My Comment: A really useful area for study, I'll fill out a response. Some "open" thoughts on that. I probably registered my first GitHub account when auditing "Digital History Methods" in Spring 2014, an undergraduate class taught by Rice [digital] historian Caleb McDaniel. We explored the programminghistorian.org/ website and a number of open-source tools, and registering for GitHub was a requirement of the class. Since then I have followed a number of GitHub-based projects (including LoC's Viewshare and Knightlab's TimelineJS and StoryMapJS projects), but haven't contributed myself to a GitHub project except in terms of [power-]user response. I am more a visualization technologist/librarian than a coder. In my view, just having a GitHub account is not equivalent to being open-source. A true open-source project formats its contents with an eye to it being understood by an outside audience. I remember the old story (true or not) that one of the reasons McDonald's franchises succeeded was because people could see the employees preparing the food in the back (something still true today). I think we need a higher standard for DH projects open-ness to be considered open-source. Being able to peek in on people doing their work is nice, but doesn't constitute real access - to their project planning documents, internal conversations, and future intentions for the project. True, meaningful access requires more explanatory work on the part of the GitHub project creators - and ideally should include a tutorial for more-developed projects. As with most things involving "Digital Humanities," what constitutes openness (and inclusivity) is being hashed out in real-time. For the past couple of years, Dr. McDaniel has been attempting to practice "Open Notebook History" (described here: http://wcm1.web.rice.edu/open-notebook-history.html). I'm curious as to whether Dr. McDaniel has revised this page since it was published 3 years ago (half-joking - if yes, is there a record of how the post has changed?). This question may seem cheeky (and unnecessary in this case), but it is totally pertinent to the goals of the project, "openness" regarding process.

At this stage of the GitHub study, we’re focused on collecting responses from people who meet a particular set of criteria: * have a public GitHub account * have attended the Digital Humanities conference in the past three years or are affiliated with an organization that is part of centerNet and has a public GitHub account * make their email address public through their GitHub account * use English on their GitHub account (since currently the survey and invitation message are only in English) We have already sent two emails to people who meet those criteria. In any case, the survey is now closed, as we are preparing to present our initial findings at the Digital Humanities conference next week.

The application deadline is October 6, 2016. The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks projects that encourage public engagement with historical records, including the development of new tools that enable people to engage online. The NHPRC is looking for projects that create models and technologies that other institutions can freely adopt. In general, collaborations among archivists, documentary editors, historians, educators, and/or community-based individuals are more likely to create a competitive proposal. Projects might create and develop programs to engage people in the study and use of historical records for institutional, educational or personal reasons. For example, an applicant can: - Enlist volunteer "citizen archivists" in projects to accelerate access to historical records, especially those online. This may include, but is not limited to, efforts to identify, tag, transcribe, annotate, or otherwise enhance digitized historical records. - Develop educational programs for K-16 students or community members that encourage them to engage with historical records already in repositories or that are collected as part of the project. Examples of projects funded under a similar program include: -- A collaborative project led by the Huntington Library to crowdsource the transcription and decoding of civil war telegrams at https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/zooniverse/decoding-the-civil-war and develop curriculum for high school students. -- A Virginia Tech project to collect, transcribe, and discuss the Fourth of July during the Civil War based on the Omeka platform, now available in beta at www.july4.civilwar.vt.edu. -- A project to develop a family history curriculum for tenth graders coordinated by St. John's University and the New York City Department of Education. People interested in applying can contact Nancy Melley at nancy.melley@nara.gov.

The version of a cultural object is identified, articulated, and analysed through diverse mechanisms in different fields of study. The study of versions allows for the investigation of the creative processes behind the conception of the object, a closer inspection of the socio-political contexts that affect it, and may even provide the means to investigate the provenance and the object's circulation. The symposium will provide a platform for scholars from different research areas to exchange ideas across different forms of media, including text, image, and sound. The proposed symposium considers the term "versioning" in the broadest sense; while the understanding of versions differ in disciplines, this dialogue will explore the convergences and variances in its conception. The conversation will highlight the range and depth of existing studies and provide an inter-disciplinary understanding of the term. The symposium will focus on three primary areas: * What is a version? * Methods used in the electronic modelling of versions of cultural objects * The representation of these digital versions Application Process -------------------------- Proposals of up to 500 words are invited by 15 August 2016 from any disciplinary area which engage with either theoretical or practical applications of versioning. The symposium aims to challenge existing silos of disciplinary knowledge providing a platform for dialogue and debate, creating a more coherent understanding of the subject. We welcome applications from Irish, European, and international researchers and applications are welcome from both project-based and theoretical research. In particular, we encourage students and graduates of the Irish Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) PhD Programme to apply. Abstracts should be sent to the organisers by 15 August 2016 To: Vinayak.dasGupta@nuim.ie; roman.bleier@uni-graz.at Areas may include, but are not limited to: Textual studies, Variorum editions and collation methods, Musicology, Soundscapes, Film studies, Religious studies, Bible studies and theology, Classical studies, Archaeology, Literary criticism, Translation studies, Manuscript studies, Oral history, Art history, Art criticism, Library Sciences, and Archiving Format --------- The symposium will be limited to 12 participants who will be selected based on a short abstract. Upon selection, participants will be asked to submit an extended abstract of 3000 words or a draft paper (no more than 8000 words) by 31 October 2016, which will be circulated to symposium participants in advance. The working paper will then be presented and discussed at the symposium. Additionally, every participant will be asked to read two working papers in advance of the symposium, review and prepare questions and comments for the authors. Completed articles will be considered for publication in an edited volume after the symposium. Deadlines ------------- 15 August: deadline for submission of abstracts 31 August: confirmation of acceptance 31 October: deadline for submission of extended abstract/draft paper Bursaries ------------ Bursaries for accommodation and transportation are available on request.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 6 Jul 2016 10:58:41 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: visualization Allow me to recommend what may be the first doctoral dissertation in comic-book form, now published as a book: Nick Sousanis' Unflattening (Harvard, 2015). The publisher's website (at http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674744431) describes it as follows: > The primacy of words over images has deep roots in Western culture. > But what if the two are inextricably linked, equal partners in > meaning-making? Written and drawn entirely as comics, Unflattening is > an experiment in visual thinking. Nick Sousanis defies conventional > forms of scholarly discourse to offer readers both a stunning work of > graphic art and a serious inquiry into the ways humans construct > knowledge. > > Unflattening is an insurrection against the fixed viewpoint. Weaving > together diverse ways of seeing drawn from science, philosophy, art, > literature, and mythology, it uses the collage-like capacity of > comics to show that perception is always an active process of > incorporating and reevaluating different vantage points. While its > vibrant, constantly morphing images occasionally serve as > illustrations of text, they more often connect in nonlinear fashion > to other visual references throughout the book. They become > allusions, allegories, and motifs, pitting realism against > abstraction and making us aware that more meets the eye than is > presented on the page. > > In its graphic innovations and restless shape-shifting, Unflattening > is meant to counteract the type of narrow, rigid thinking that > Sousanis calls “flatness.” Just as the two-dimensional inhabitants of > Edwin A. Abbott’s novella Flatland could not fathom the concept of > “upwards,” Sousanis says, we are often unable to see past the > boundaries of our current frame of mind. Fusing words and images to > produce new forms of knowledge, Unflattening teaches us how to access > modes of understanding beyond what we normally apprehend. Those of us involved with visualization have a fair bit to learn about the interplay between words and images. And the book is a delight, bringing to life ideas (Gk. eidola) as images in the mind simultaneously on the page. The experience of reading it is quite wonderful. Could a digital form do as well as this printed book?

Since Willard and Henry Schaffer have kept the thread alive with today's digest, I thought I would respond. I apologize if I am unable to recall the names of participants who posted some days ago. I think we need to begin by making clearer distinctions, first of all between claims that we can make about human beings in general, and then the subset of those claims that are relevant to DH projects and humanities study. So I had behaviorism in the back of my mind in my second response to this thread as a possible counterargument to my claims, and I said a few things in that post that anticipated that response without actually naming behaviorism. I will try to spell that out here. While behaviorism is the closest thing that we have to an empirical science of human behavior, it is also almost completely irrelevant to the analysis of creative products, especially when compared to the amount of humanities scholarship employing psychoanalysis of some kind or its descendants. For that reason, I would say that behaviorism is functionally irrelevant to this discussion until it has a higher profile in humanities scholarship. I am not of course saying that there is no humanities scholarship employing behaviorism, just that I haven't read any in the areas in which I have read, and that it certainly constitutes a small minority of humanities scholarship. The next thing that we need to distinguish is between "science" in general and "empirical science" rigidly defined. We might justifiably call any approach that tests hypotheses scientific, but that doesn't mean that all approaches that do so are empirical, even if it employs evidence-based reasoning. This distinction has obtained since the early days of psychoanalytic theory, when Freud was exasperated by complaints that his new science of the mind was more like a mythology than an empirical science, which Wittgenstein asserted in (I think) 1927, even while he was praising psychoanalysis generously as a myth. I.A. Richards attempted to define aesthetic effects in terms of brain chemistry around the same time, but this hasn't been a terribly fruitful or prolific approach to humanities products either, in that at best it tells us a lot about brain chemistry and almost nothing at all about the humanities artifact. The study of human beings as material objects has a bigger profile within humanities scholarship, but it's always in relationship to a creative product: "the body" in so and so's fiction, for example. A description of the average bone density of a 25 year old male's femur is a good topic for an empirical study of the human body, but I don't know that there's much humanities scholarship focused on these kinds of questions either. Those discussions belong in medical journals, and they might be relevant to programming the physics of video games and other simulations, but they aren't typically part of the analysis of a human creative object. The study of creative works as material objects has a bigger profile still, and I think that this has a significant profile on its own in DH. I think that we also need to note distinctions among uses of the word "science" even in empirical fields. Within the "hard" sciences, there are theoretical and there are applied sciences, and to these scientists, the "human sciences" aren't scientific at all. There are fields like anthropology -- and many thanks to this listmember for his insights -- that have to work in multiple scientific modes, which makes him very aware when he is engaged in theoretical, empirical, or interpretive work. I think this is another fruitful model for DH to follow, which would have to be further complicated by its engagement with the digital itself: again, do we read results differently when they are produced by different programming languages? But once we get into areas like anthropology, we find ourselves getting very close to what has typically been called "literary theory," which has combined insights from anthropology, sociology, psychology, and philosophy among other fields. Alongside historical approaches to humanities products -- which seem to lend themselves best of all to DH projects so far -- the reading strategies falling under the umbrella of "literary theory" have been among the most prolific approaches to the interpretation of humanities products so far. It will have to be included under the DH umbrella too, and it has been, but I don't think this potential has been very close to realized yet.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2016 12:46:26 +0000 From: Benjamin Vis Subject: theory Dear James, I have a few comments on your clarifications, but I'll try to be brief. In general, I'm not sure if I find behaviourism very helpful for looking at and comparing what the humanities typically do or don't. However, in archaeology, the 'ethological' approach is often unwittingly applied in data collection and analysis (despite interpretive claims). A lot of the humanities are definitely behavioural in outlook. After all, creativity is human behaviour resulting from a human context and a human past. Although I wouldn't necessarily turn entirely determinist (as in behaviourism), I suppose if there is such a thing as 'total' knowledge of the emergence of a creative event, then one could also argue creativity is necessarily deterministic. It all depends on what we place outside of the processes giving rise to the emergence of the phenomenon/output. In the end it depends on our stance towards human behaviour: do we look from the inside (as fellow human beings), or outside (as ethologists), do we find it all measurable chemistry, or merely something we order and approach systematically, etc.? I'll say again, that I'm not particularly clear what 'humanities' are (as opposed to, say, social sciences), but it does seem to me that limiting it the study of creative works (and then, what qualifies?) is quite restrictive. finally, I'm not sure whether the digital necessarily complicates considerations associated with doing theoretical, empirical, or interpretive work. To me it seems that the digital primarily hones in on questions about the nature of evidence and how to treat it. In that regard, if critically employed, it could sharpen our understanding of our own arguments. Isn't the basic opposition in interpretive work that of the empirical (evidence, including creative works) and the ideational (concepts and theory we have about empirical reality and its phenomena)? When humanities use computing, it is used on humanities evidence, so the question to ask is: is the shape in which computing is applied to my evidence right for the concepts/theory/hypotheses I have about the phenomenon this is evidence of? (Of course, there may also be humanities investigations on computing as a field, which is rather different.)

This is some of the best scholarship I know of. A big claim, I know, but I thoroughly belive this. It really is an amazing book. It is an experiment, as the publisher's blurb describes it. But it's more than this, much more. It doesn't just show how to make a new way to communicate, this book is itself an exploration and discovery of new ways of thinking, seeing, conceptualising, understanding, and understanding how to understand. Reading, I mean looking at and seeing this book, pondering the drawings, how they are drawn, what they depict, how they depict, what they say, is, as you say Willard, a delightful and enlightening journey. It's a learning experience: a beautifully and thoughtfully sign posted way to working out new ways of thinking about, knowing about, and understanding things we may think we're already familiar with, and sure about, perhaps too sure. There are too many things to remark upon in this book, but, to point to just one remarkable insight, among many others, I like pages 108 and 109, in Chapter 6, Ruts ... "How did we get here." It say something, I think, to the ongoing conversation about theory. I'd say this book is for everybody to see, no matter which discipline we work in. Could digital drawing have resulted in such a wonderful book?

There's a very good, though brief, selection of quotations on 4Humanities that may be helpful: http://4humanities.org/2014/12/what-are-the-humanities/ My impression is that the concept of the humanities developed out of the traditional liberal arts to distinguish math and empirical science from humanistic disciplines, a distinction which would of course pre-date the rise of social science. Among these definitions, the humanities seem to encompass a subset of sociological and psychological research but not either of these entire disciplines: it may be better to say that humanities study often relies on sociology and psychology (which brings us right back to "literary theory" or "theory"), but not necessarily the other way around. One phrase shared by the last two quotations is "the humanities and social sciences," which simultaneously implies that they belong together and yet are two different things. I tend to prefer more limiting definitions than more extended ones as that helps communication. Any study of a physical object can be considered empirical research, but how many studies of the Mona Lisa are experimentally replicable in terms of the object itself? Do we ever study the Mona Lisa the way we study quasars or plant growth? Would we want to?

The goal is twofold: to figure out ways to make those methods public and so usable by educated people who are interested, and to test digital methods in relation to humanities methods. Do digital methods enhance humanistic methods? Advance them? Impede? I hoping that the readers of Humanist, especially those now attending DH2016, might be willing to help revise the digital methods sections, especially, although I welcome any feedback on all parts of the syllabus. The syllabus is available via MLA Commons: http://dx.doi.org/10.17613/M68P5D Thank you in advance if you have time to help.

Works-in-Progress and Demonstration Papers Early progress work or work that is most appropriate for the demonstration format. 2. Encore Track High-quality and relevant previously published work. 3. Industry and Practice Track Crowdsourcing in practice. For all tracks, please SUBMIT BY AUG 15th. More information for these calls is at: http://www.humancomputation.com/2016/submit.html We hope to see you in Austin! If you have any additional concerns, email us at hcomp16@gmail.com. There is also a discussion list for all things Human Computation and Crowdsourcing, at https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/crowd-hcomp Works in Progress Work-in-progress papers provide a unique opportunity for sharing valuable ideas, eliciting useful feedback on early-stage work, and fostering discussions and collaborations among colleagues. A demonstration is a high-visibility, high-impact forum of the HCOMP program that allows you to present your hands-on demonstration, share novel interactive technologies, and stage interactive experiences. We encourage submissions from any area of human computation and crowdsourcing. Track co-chairs: - Ece Kamar (Microsoft Research) - Walter S. Lasecki (University of Michigan) Length. Works-in-Progress & Demonstration papers can be up to 2 pages (excluding references, which may be unlimited pages), may be submitted. Works in Progress and Demonstrations are NOT anonymized and NOT Archival. Authors should include information identifying themselves and their institutions for single-blind review. Accepted papers will not be included in official conference proceedings, and so may be submitted later to other conferences or journals for official publication. Authors will decide at submission what should be posted on HCOMP's conference's website if the paper is accepted: only the paper's title, or the PDF for the entire paper. Encore Track The broad utility and impact of crowdsourcing and human computation have led to widespread interest from researchers spanning many different academic disciplines and domains of study. As part of this diversity, some researchers publish in journals, some in conferences, and others write books. To help stay abreast of the latest, important research findings, the Encore Track was created to provide a common forum to bring together such diverse researchers. We invite previously-published work for encore presentation at HCOMP, to foster further interactions among researchers and further broaden the dissemination and impact of important work in the field. Industry and Practice Track HCOMP seeks to advance human computation and crowdsourcing practice as well as research, including engineers and practitioners to encourage dialogue across disciplines and communities of practice. Participation in the Industry & Practice Track offers a unique opportunity to showcase your technology (by demo or presentation), network with other professionals and researchers alike, and tap into HCOMP's incredible source of talent. The Industry & Practice track allows practitioners to share and discuss state-of-the-art practice in crowdsourcing and human computation processes and technologies, whether in companies (big and small) or other organizations (e.g., non-profits, governments, etc.). To apply to participate in the Industry & Practice Track at HCOMP 2016, please submit a written description of what you would like to present (up to 2000 words). There is no required formatting or template to adhere to, but submissions must be uploaded in PDF format.

See more information below. INVITING EDITION PROPOSALS FOR THE 2017 ISSUE OF SCHOLARLY EDITING Scholarly Editing: The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing (www.scholarlyediting.org) invites edition proposals for the 2017 issue. 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.

I understand in the light of its difficult to manage plurality, one would prefer a more restrictive definition. Considering I typically consider myself to do social sciences, even though for most purposes my activities are grouped under the humanities. Perhaps in certain regards they are the same, but the further increased diversity doesn't help in cross-disciplinary clarity. A restrictive definition of something that is as difficult to grasp as the humanities can cause confusion, however, and for me empiricism is easily included in the humanities too (as it is in the social sciences). The relevance is, I guess, that this empirical and conceptual parts of humanities (or anywhere else) is what causes theoretical difficulties, and perhaps at times is emphasised in the digital. For what it's worth, there is a host to study about the Mona Lisa empirically. As an object, some of this would be repeatable (though I don't think empirical scientific processes necessarily are, it's just more difficult to reason with their outcomes and ramifications if they're not) and some of it would not be. As reception there is also a lot of empirical work that could be done. Am I misunderstanding? In terms of humanities as in human understanding and creativity or what have you, there is certainly a role for empirical enquiries simply because it's empiricism can be aligned with the empiricism of human and social reality. Undoubtedly, the type of knowledge produced will depend on it. I'm wondering (and realising I may be overlooking something incredibly obvious) whether there is any evidence that is not on some level at least empirical and isn't evidence a prerequisite for making any enquiry? (I feel thunderclouds packing above my head but seem too obtuse to think of any examples to the contrary.) Mostly it seems to me to come down to how we get our evidence and what we do with evidence. (Perhaps my definition of empirical is too broad?)

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 07:40:48 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: a claustrophobic sense Please forgive the following attempt to stir the pot. No offence intended, but I do think we need to mull over not only the variable meanings of 'theory' but also the implications of identifying ourselves closely with 'method'. I am hoping that there is such a thing as 'emotional intelligence' as well as 'intuition', however difficult it may be to nail either one of them down. As someone who spends a fair bit of time trying to figure things out I've always depended on a sense of intellectual claustrophobia to tell me that the horse I've been riding has turned into a hobby-horse going nowhere. I like to think of this sense as a form of emotional intelligence because it is both an emotional and an intellectual experience to find one's mind in a space too small for it, struggle in somewhat of a panic and then to bust out of confinement into a disorientating but open space with opportunities to think anew. Paul Feyerabend (a powerful lecturer and a frighteningly intense fellow) had one such reaction, which he expressed in his mid-70s book Against Method. It was aimed specifically at the popular notion of "The Scientific Method". He helped greatly to redirect attention away from abstract method in the sciences toward the historical practices of actual scientists. His wasn't an attack on being methodical but, along with Kuhn, on reducing research to canned procedures. Geoffrey Rockwell and I once conducted a small study of what researchers in various disciplines at Toronto actually did when taking notes. We interviewed a number of people and then attempted to collate the results. What I learned from this attempt to get at that aspect of method was that no two people in the group I interviewed shared the same way of taking notes. No method or even spectrum of methods. Every one of those academics had very different ways of being methodical. The variations were not simply among individuals but for some of them from one research project to the next, even from one moment to the next. In my own work I use note-cards, made with the wonderfully simple QwikCards, printed out and then shuffled just as Sir James Murray did. But in using them I get the strong sense that this *method* is almost beside the point. It is a prop for meditation that in itself is rather unimportant. It could easily be replaced by some other way of acting under other circumstances. So, I'd say, to fixate on it would be a mistake, though I stick to it. It's works, it's what I know. Another way of saying this, I suppose, is that John Unsworth was wiser than I (when both of us were addressing the question) to keep his discussion of it very broad. Perhaps one could say that precise methods are best considered throwaways, invented on the spot for specific purposes, perhaps turning into habits but not writ on stone tablets. Comments?

I have just read this passage in chapter 7, "In His Own Image", of the book "Computer Theology: Intelligent Design of the World Wide Web", by Bertrand du Castel and Timothy M. Jurgensen (Midori Press, 2008).The text is available on Google Books. In the wake of Busa, who defined the computer as "il nipotino di Dio" (God's grandson), it seems that God matters to informatics more than what we think; there is even a new branch of theology dealing with computers! I hope this may be of your interest. Thank you! Many regards.

From Plato onwards it has been recognised that mathematics, while having important applications in the physical world, is based on an ideal world with perfect circles and perfect straight lines. This Platonic world exists outside space and time, it exists only in the human imagination. It distinguishes us from computers. About the Speaker: ŒSir Michael is one of the world'™s greatest living mathematicians. He has won the Fields Medal (1966), the Copley Medal (1988) and the Abel Prize (2004). He was also President of the Royal Society (1990-1995), Master of Trinity College, Cambridge (1990-“1997), Chancellor of the University of Leicester (1995-2005), and President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (2005-2008). In the course of the event, Sir Michael will be admitted as an Honorary Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales by the President Sir Emyr Jones Parry. -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id A8C137B60; Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:08:42 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 04A827B5A; Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:08:42 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C4D217B58; Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:08:39 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160714090839.C4D217B58@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:08:39 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.172 pubs: A New Companion; documentary editions 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="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160714090842.4870.50574@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 172.

The NHPRC seeks proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American history or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project. The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story. The NHPRC encourages projects, whenever possible and appropriate, to provide access to these materials in a free and open online environment, without precluding other forms of publication. Grants are awarded for collecting, describing, preserving, compiling, transcribing, annotating, editing, encoding, and publishing documentary source materials in print and online. Because of the focus on documentary sources, grants do not support preparation of critical editions of published works unless such works are just a small portion of the larger project. A grant is for one year only and for up to $200,000. Grants begin no earlier than July 1, 2017. Deadlines: Draft (optional): August 1, 2016. Final Deadline: October 6, 2016.

P. Thompson, best known for The Making of the English Working Class (1963), wrote in "History From Below" on the rising influence of sociology on history. He hoped this would not result in "the wooden taking over of unprocessed terminology and categories from one favoured school of sociology, and imposing these on existent historical knowledge". Rather, he wrote, this influence should properly be considered an interrelation, > a question of mutual interpenetration, by which the historian finds > in contemporary sociological writing new problems, or new ways of > looking at old problems, pursues his research with a mind which is > both fertilized by sociological concepts and distrustful of > sociological categories, coming up with results which (one hopes) may > in their turn add an historical dimension to sociological theory. (Times Literary Supplement special issue, "New Ways in History", 7 April 1966, 279-80) Changing what needs to be changed, this seems to me a worthy and high though reachable ideal for computing and the humanities.

For the last 20 years much work has been done on the history of algorithms, mostly within the history of mathematics, and quite some interesting new ideas and methods have come from this rich and vibrant field. On the occasion of a new edition of a 1995-book on the history of algorithms (that is now a bit old-fashioned), I wrote an essay review that gives an overview on what has been happening these last 20 years. The essay review just appeared in Historia Mathematica and can be freely downloaded until September 2nd using this link, http://authors.elsevier.com/a/1TNB117f6j-t2L I hope this may be useful to some list members. best regards, Maarten Bullynck Département de mathématiques & histoire des sciences Université Paris 8 _______________________________________________ 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 208377B6E; Fri, 15 Jul 2016 07:03:39 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DC7137B5E; Fri, 15 Jul 2016 07:03:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A04CB7B5C; Fri, 15 Jul 2016 07:03:34 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160715050334.A04CB7B5C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 07:03:34 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.177 help improve DH Wikipedia article?

This article receives over 5,000 pageviews a month and is the top hit on Google when someone searches for Digital Humanities, in effect making it one of the public faces of DH. Yet the article is relatively short and only receives a grade of C on the quality scales of various WikiProjects. Wikipedia can be a sensitive topic for academics, but I believe that its dominance necessitates our getting involved and improving the quality and diversity of information available, especially concerning our area of research/teaching. My goal is to raise the article to 'featured article' status by the end of the year (and try to have it appear on Wikipedia's home page at some point too). I encourage others to either edit the article themselves and communicate on the Talk page, or contribute to a discussion of what information belongs in a solid encyclopedia entry.

Ess" Subject: Re: 30.173 computer theology In-Reply-To: <20160715045735.340D57B58@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Tim, and colleagues, Tickled to see the reference to the A.C. Clarke story - one I vividly recall. But would also add here what I'm not sure I've seen articulated in this thread so far? If I've missed something, apologies. Computation has been affiliated with the sacred since its origins, beginning with Babylonian and Egyptian mathematics. In these directions, the sky-disk of Nebra (), if it can be counted as a computational device (I think it can), embodies the inextricable interconnection between calculation and the universe understood as a sacred order. (Ditto for the Antikythera mechanism.) This is made more secular in some way by the Pythagoreans - but the Pythagorean belief that mathematics, and thus computation, articulates a fundamental order in nature, and thereby furthers a "religious" interest in seeking to better attune ourselves to that order as an ultimate form of "salvation" runs throughout our cultural, intellectual, and scientific histories. For example, Kepler's neo-Pythagorean search for the mathematical ratios of the planetary orbits that then fulfilled the ancient Pythagorean dream of actually hearing (an analogue of) the music of the spheres. Kepler's music was too difficult for human musicians to perform - nicely enough, it was realized using computers and synthesizers in the late 1970s, e.g., by Laurie Siegel () and included in the Voyager probe. Still more directly, Leibniz was intrigued by the possibility of automating calculation, developing binary along the way (inspired in turn by the I Ching, which likewise takes number as an articulation of the sacred, however much the latter term has to be qualified in an ancient Chinese context) - again in service to the (neo-)Pythagorean project of understanding an ultimately sacred order. This interweaving between calculation and the sacred becomes sometimes radically disconnected in Enlightenment taxonomies that seek to separate "religion" from everything else. Whatever the advantages of what amounts to a resulting academic specialization, this disentangling threatens us with anachronism when we seek to understand earlier "religion" as well as the roles of calculation. But while there are plenty of contemporary understandings of computation as a strictly secular business (in every sense of the word) - there are also contemporary philosophers of information, most notably Luciano Floridi, who explicitly continue the thread from such ancients as the Pythagoreans and Plato, through Leibniz and Spinoza: very briefly and very roughly, so far as we understand the cosmos in terms of computable information, it is a cosmos whose default normative setting (my terms) is a basic affirmation of its goodness and value. If this sketch is anywhere close to correct - from a historical perspective then, it is the separation between computing and theology that is the anomaly, not their entanglement.

DH are not monolithic, rather they express in_a_culturally_blended_way a global interest for intersecting "the humanities" and "the digital": this means that there are many, culturally influenced, realizations of the concept of DH. which in turn is the reason why if one has to go beyond the more global and general descriptions, differences start to appear between people, groups, disciplines, etc. rather than try to unify, this has to be cleverly accepted and managed. a wikipedia article is a good place, and to manage the plurality both a substructure in the article dealing with associations and groups operating in the DH field, and a substructure by countries and/or languages describing what in those places DH are meant to be, could be useful. maurizio -- Quando sono diventato padre ho capito che i genitori hanno due compiti fondamentali: il primo quello di difendere il proprio figlio dalla malvagità del mondo; il secondo quello di aiutarlo a riconoscerla.

(see http://www.poms.ac.uk). The Institute of Historical Research (University of London) is sponsoring a free workshop next week (20th July: 11 am to 3.30, including lunch) that explores how structured data, as presented in PoMS, can be used by historians interested in historical charters. The workshop is described as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------- The People of Medieval Scotland 1093-1314 database (PoMS) (www.poms.ac.uk) is not only a resource for Scottish historians. It includes information from over 5300 charters (broadly defined), which means that anyone seeking to explore the potential of this kind of source material for their research can do so quickly through PoMS, and then apply these insights to a different but comparable corpus of charters. This is possible because PoMS provides information in a structured way about individuals and their interactions exactly as this is reflected in the documents, paying close attention to their form and essential features. Not only can research that could take months be accomplished in minutes, but sophisticated queries can be tested. PoMS also includes innovative ways of visualising results through maps and sociograms. Potential topics that could be explored in less than an hour are the role of aristocratic women in landholding, types of renders associated with hereditary tenure, the rise of a self-conscious knightly class, the use of charters, the growing significance of coinage, the employment of university graduates, patterns of patronage and networks of laity associated with monasteries. All questions can be pursued both chronologically and geographically. This workshop will introduce the database through explanations and hands-on practical activities. The workshop is free of charge with lunch provided. Please bring a laptop. The workshop will be led by some of those who have designed and used PoMS ... ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.history.ac.uk/research-training/courses/people-medieval-scotland-database-workshop My apology for the late notice, but there is still space for more participants. Those already in or near London who are interested would be most welcome. Please sign up through the workshop's web page.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 05:02:33 -0500 From: Laura Mandell Subject: Announcing new book series The Institute for Digital Humanities, Media and Culture (IDHMC) at Texas A&M University (http://idhmc.tamu.edu) is pleased to announce “Coding for Humanists,” a new book series from Texas A&M Press that addresses the practical skill-development needs of scholars in the humanities. The series is edited by Quinn Drombrowski and Laura Mandell. The hands-on training offered at an institute or workshop such as DHSI, DHOxSS, and HILT equips scholars to pursue new directions in their research and/or pedagogy. These workshops stand apart from generic technical training sessions through their focus on the specific needs, interests and goals of humanists. The pedagogical approach respects students’ intelligence and expertise without assuming a pre-existing knowledge of other programming languages or technologies. The “Coding for Humanists” book series follows in the spirit of these workshops (http://coding.forhumanists.org). Each volume focuses on a particular tool, technology, methodology, or programming language, using humanities examples. Without assuming any prerequisite technical knowledge, “Coding for Humanists” books guide scholars through the jargon, concepts, and processes fundamental to the technology under consideration, leaving them ready to use the technology independently, or deepen their knowledge through resources written for a general audience. For scholars who are unable to attend an in-person workshop, or who wish to develop new technical skills as time permits, the “Coding for Humanists” series fills an unmet need for clearly-written, accessible training materials developed specifically for a humanistic audience. The first volume, _Drupal for Humanists_ by Quinn Dombrowski ( http://drupal.forhumanists.org/), will be published this fall. Co-editor of the series, Quinn Dombrowski is the Digital Humanities Coordinator in Research IT at UC Berkeley, and has developed numerous digital humanities sites using Drupal, including the DiRT Directory and DHCommons. She has taught “Drupal for Digital Humanities Projects” at DHSI since 2014, and _Drupal for Humanists_ expands upon the materials that have been used successfully in that course. Upcoming volumes in the “Coding for Humanists” series include _XQuery for Humanists_, by Clifford B. Anderson, Jonathan Robie, and Joseph C. Wicentowski; _XSLT for Humanists: Building Digital Editions_, by co-editor of the book series, Laura Mandell; and _Databases for Humanists_, by Harvey Quamen. The series is accepting proposals for additional volumes; please see submission guidelines here: http://coding.forhumanists.org/submission-guidelines. -- Laura Mandell Director, Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture Professor, English Texas A&M University p: 979-845-8345 e: idhmc@tamu.edu @mandellc http://idhmc.tamu.edu _______________________________________________ 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 1CD977B4B; Mon, 18 Jul 2016 09:23:31 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 45D887B49; Mon, 18 Jul 2016 09:23:30 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7A50277CC; Mon, 18 Jul 2016 09:23:28 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160718072328.7A50277CC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2016 09:23:28 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.182 social media X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160718072330.13515.53441@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 182.

Thanks to Dino Buzzetti for reminding us of Epimenides, who illustrated a problem in logic by telling a story about a fellow from Crete who declared that all Cretans are liars. But I think that 'social media' comprise a broad genre of online mechanisms to which Humanist, by ongoing design, does not belong. Just as rumours passed around in the village square differ from news programmes and discussions on radio so, I would say, Twitter, Facebook et al. differ from the kind of thing Humanist is. Once upon a time it was the only game online, or nearly, and we could be rather peppery, in danger of flame-wars (some of which I had to put out). But in its rather sedate middle age its eyes are turned if not to eternity then certainly to old questions in new guises rather than the latest of whatever. At least characteristically, sometimes, we manage that. Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2016 13:16:16 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 30.176 pubs: history of algorithms; social media vs the truth In-Reply-To: <20160715050231.22D087B60@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I share many of the concerns Katharine Viner writes of in "How technology disrupted the truth" The Guardian, 12 July 2016. But her title is silly and misleading. And her analysis is flawed, I think. The Social Media she refers to is made up of the use of new communication tools, that, in turn, depend upon new(ish) communication infrastructures. These tools and their use afford new social practices. Practices that are at least different in scale, if not in kind, from previous social practices. Technology is not to blame here. Human practices are. Yes, they are human practices made possible by new tools rendered using new(ish) technologies. But to blame these tools and technologies is to miss-attribute responsibility for what is happening to journalism. Why do we want to do this? I don't like the following way of seeing things, but I don't see what is unreasonable about it. Viner's analysis is flawed from the start by referring to, and supposing there exists, The Truth. It is never the case that there is only one truth. In any situation, even in physics research, there are as many truths as there are people who can substantiate and successfully defend a claim to having the truth. I don't think it's a post-truth world we're now moving into, as Viner, and others, tell us. What's happening is that Social Media is making it more possible for more people, sometimes many many more, to establish and defend what they each take to be true, and want others to take as true. What's breaking down is the idea that certain institutions in our society are the sole owners and makers and defenders of truth. It's people and their (newish) social practices who are disrupting this (previous) truth about truth, not tools and not the technologies we render these tools from. We are seeing, I think, many many more people engaging in truth making than used to be the case. And this is having profound consequences. But, Viner exaggerates her case by saying "everyone has their own facts," and she thereby damages her argument. It certainly is not everybody, even if it is many more than it used to be. I think this is the crucial point that Viner, with her mis-directed blame, flawed analysis, and unwarranted exaggeration, fails to bring out: truth is still being made and manipulated, but now the powers of truth making and manipulation, though certainly not possessed by everybody, are now many more and varied than they used to be, and, as a consequence, now much harder for the traditional truth making and defending institutions to influence and control. This is not a kind of world I welcome. But I think this is more like the world we getting, and it's our (new) social practices we have to blame for this, not our tools and technologies.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 05:02:33 -0500 From: Laura Mandell Subject: Announcing new book series The Institute for Digital Humanities, Media and Culture (IDHMC) at Texas A&M University (http://idhmc.tamu.edu) is pleased to announce “Coding for Humanists,” a new book series from Texas A&M Press that addresses the practical skill-development needs of scholars in the humanities. The series is edited by Quinn Drombrowski and Laura Mandell. The hands-on training offered at an institute or workshop such as DHSI, DHOxSS, and HILT equips scholars to pursue new directions in their research and/or pedagogy. These workshops stand apart from generic technical training sessions through their focus on the specific needs, interests and goals of humanists. The pedagogical approach respects students’ intelligence and expertise without assuming a pre-existing knowledge of other programming languages or technologies. The “Coding for Humanists” book series follows in the spirit of these workshops (http://coding.forhumanists.org). Each volume focuses on a particular tool, technology, methodology, or programming language, using humanities examples. Without assuming any prerequisite technical knowledge, “Coding for Humanists” books guide scholars through the jargon, concepts, and processes fundamental to the technology under consideration, leaving them ready to use the technology independently, or deepen their knowledge through resources written for a general audience. For scholars who are unable to attend an in-person workshop, or who wish to develop new technical skills as time permits, the “Coding for Humanists” series fills an unmet need for clearly-written, accessible training materials developed specifically for a humanistic audience. The first volume, _Drupal for Humanists_ by Quinn Dombrowski ( http://drupal.forhumanists.org/), will be published this fall. Co-editor of the series, Quinn Dombrowski is the Digital Humanities Coordinator in Research IT at UC Berkeley, and has developed numerous digital humanities sites using Drupal, including the DiRT Directory and DHCommons. She has taught “Drupal for Digital Humanities Projects” at DHSI since 2014, and _Drupal for Humanists_ expands upon the materials that have been used successfully in that course. Upcoming volumes in the “Coding for Humanists” series include _XQuery for Humanists_, by Clifford B. Anderson, Jonathan Robie, and Joseph C. Wicentowski; _XSLT for Humanists: Building Digital Editions_, by co-editor of the book series, Laura Mandell; and _Databases for Humanists_, by Harvey Quamen. The series is accepting proposals for additional volumes; please see submission guidelines here: http://coding.forhumanists.org/submission-guidelines. -- Laura Mandell Director, Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture Professor, English Texas A&M University p: 979-845-8345 e: idhmc@tamu.edu @mandellc http://idhmc.tamu.edu _______________________________________________ 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 3FEC07B53; Tue, 19 Jul 2016 07:15:26 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id F20707B51; Tue, 19 Jul 2016 07:15:24 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 958916A8F; Tue, 19 Jul 2016 07:15:22 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160719051522.958916A8F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 07:15:22 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.185 social media X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160719051525.19484.16342@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 185.

And very true, I think. As you say, and illustrate, numbers and computations have pervaded religious beliefs and practices for eons, whatever number that is. And numbers and computations have been given special places in the holding and telling of important truths in many religions. So how can a study of numbers and computation not, at least sometimes, be theological scholarship? But I think this is what Clarke's "The nine billion names of God," is a particular example of. I think your analysis points to a further entanglement of religious thinking and behaving and computers (machines that do computations). When humans were the computers, we took on trust the results of their computations. Since we gave the computations these people did, and many more kinds of computations they didn't do, to (machine) computers, we take on faith the results of these computations. We give computers (the machines) a God-like quality: we adopt a religious or faith-based stance towards computers. At least this is how I see it in the way people use and treat computers in practice. The idea that we treat computers as (impressive) human made tools [most say technology here] derived from human designing and making, and rendered using technologies discovered and developed by humans, and thus accepted and treated as useful but mere human artifacts, just doesn't correspond to observed human practices. This is not peculiar to computers (the machines). Being human is tool using, and has been from the beginning(s) of human beings. And, in humans, this tools using is also tool making and technology discovering and developing--both of which are also tool using activities. Yet, for eons, humans have invested their tools with spirits and agency, sometimes with God-like powers. Our Gods have resided in our computing machines from the beginning of these machines. Perhaps our religions have yet to catch up with where our Gods have moved into. I pray [in effect] that this message is computed well all the way to the recipients of this list. There is no proper separating of humans from their tools and technologies and religions and everything else they do and believe in and think. Sadly, horrendously, this includes lorries, not just computers.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2016 07:24:18 -0400 From: "William L. Benzon" Subject: David Golumbia on Chomsky, Computation, and Computational Linguistics In-Reply-To: <20160718072809.222BA7B55@digitalhumanities.org> As many of you know, David Golumbia is one of three authors of a recent article that that offered a critique of the digital humanities (DH), Neoliberal Tools (and Archives): A Political History of Digital Humanities . The article sparked such vigorous debate within the DH community that I decided to investigate Golumbia’s thinking. I’ve known about him for some time but had not read his best known book: David Golumbia. The Cultural Logic of Computation. Harvard University Press, 2009. But I’ve read the Chomsky material with some care and concluded that he’s confused about Chomsky, computation, and computational linguistics. So, I’ve put a longish post on my blog, New Savanna, in which I explain where and how he seems mistaken: Golumbia Fails to Understand Chomsky, Computation, and Computational Linguistics . Over at Language Log Mark Liberman has a recent post about the LARB article: Digital scholarship and cultural ideology http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=26769 . I note the following paragraphs: > On the contrary, it's clear that the successive waves of DH work > over the past 70 years emerged bottom-up, as scholars took advantage > of advances in technology to facilitate research they wanted to do > anyhow. These technological steps have included the broad > availability of batch processing in the 1950s; the development of > minicomputers in the 1960s; early time-sharing in the 1970s; the > availability of personal computers in the 1980s; the democratization > of the internet in the 1990s; and so on. > > There's nothing particularly humanistic about all this — researchers > in nearly all fields have adopted successive waves of digital > technology to let them do old things more efficiently, more > accurately, faster and on a larger scale, and to do new things that > were previously not feasible in practical terms. Mark also has a post taking issue with Golumbia’s use of (in Cultural Logic) “analog” in discussing language: Is language "analog”? http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=26786 Golumbia has asserted, "The brain is analog; languages are analog; society and politics are analog.” Liberman notes in response: > But crucial aspects of human speech and language are NOT "analog" — > are not continuously variable physical (or for that matter spiritual) > quantities. This fact has nothing to do with computers — it was as > true 100 or 1,000 or 100,000 years ago as it is today, and it's been > recognized by every human being who ever looked seriously at the > question. > > There are three obvious non-analog aspects of speech and language. In > linguistic jargon, these are the entities involved in syntax, > morphology, and phonology. In more ordinary language, they're > phrases, words, and speech sounds. I invite you to these discussions.

The DECIMA project emerged as an international collaborative effort based at the University of Toronto, and dedicated to developing a sensory map of the Renaissance city. We began by geo-referencing the data from a 1561 tax census to a 1584 aerial view of Florence, and are currently adding data from other tax censuses. Our next challenge lies in experimenting with how to integrate sense experience (hearing, touch) into the map, and to augment the mapping experience with sensory analysis. We aim with this both to expand the current map of Florence while also developing templates for the sensory mapping of early modern cities generally. For more information about the DECIMA project, please visit: decima.chass.utoronto.ca The candidate will work closely with members of the DECIMA team and participate in workshops, working groups, and periodic pedagogical activities. The candidate will be experimenting directly with the DECIMA map, and will also have the opportunity to pursue individual research projects; there is no formal teaching as such associated with the position. The candidate will also consult with other important and related scholarly and computational resources at UofT.

We are always concerned about the accuracy of computation and the possibility of errors. Various types of checking for errors abound in computation, and in data storage and communication. (E.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_detection_and_correction and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECC_memory ) Even in computation even when there are no "errors", the results may be wrong because of the imperfect mapping of numbers *in the computer* to numbers *in mathematics*. (E.g. "underflow" with floating point and "overflow" with both integers and floating point.) Computer designers and users have argued for a long time as to the proper tradeoffs between how many bits/digits to allocate to numbers since that affects both error rates and costs. Today with the great decreases in costs, we have much less concern, but, especially in research computation, the numerical length ("precision") must be considered and often must be explicitly specified.

The idea was inspired by awesome-machine-learning , which is a curated list of machine learning tools. Awesome-digital-humanities is a digital humanities version of it. Currently it is in a set-up stage and you are very welcome to contribute your own tools or the tools you use to the list. I will review and merge pull requests as soon as possible. Thank you very much for contributions.

Where are the results?" Then I fumbled for an answer and, as I recall, came up with nothing worth remembering. I've pondered that question repeatedly ever since. Recently, asked to contribute to a three-volume Festschrift in Choueka's honour, Language, Culture, Computation (2014), I went at it again and entitled the result, "The tooling is here. Where are the results?" For it seems to me that tools, at least in the usual sense, i.e. applications, are not the point, rather the ability to make and remake tools. This, to my mind, is where (to borrow Bill Benzon's word and argument) "real" computing happens, in the humanities as elsewhere. Comments?

I believe the DIRT website (http://dirtdirectory.org/) would be a good place to start, maybe you knew about it already. However, this is not a code source repository, I guess you'd like to set up something similar for the DH.

In-Reply-To: <20160720055321.059D9787B@digitalhumanities.org> Hi, Unfortunately I was unable to attend the DH2016 conference. There are so many DH tools, frameworks, APIs, websites, repositories, datasets etc now that it's hard to get a sense of what is out there. It's likely that we are all missing the existance of something we would have loved to know about. Almost every day I discover another DH site that astonishes me. A comprehensive, categorised list that people could submit to seems like the natural solution. I've started similar lists myself only to realise there are already many such lists. Some of the results of a google search https://www.google.com.au/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=digital%20humanities%20tools include lists of links to lists of DH tools. The problem then is not that there aren't any such lists, but that there are too many and none are comprehensive, and mainly that none have come to be generally accepted as the de facto standard resource. Because of this they aren't circulated as 'common knowledge.' This is a consequence of DH still being a young and booming area. Without wanting to reduce DH to economic terms, it is analogous to an new industry that has not yet consolidated into the usual oligopoly. This is an exciting time, where everyone has an opportunity in a sprawling, rapidly evolving ecosystem, not yet calcified into accepted practices and controlled by large players protected by scale as a barrier to entry. Ideas are *relatively* unconstrained by established preconceptions so there is a chance to define your own activity. I would like to think this anarchic environment is more conducive to innovation, exploration and discovery than a thoroughly systematised environment. As much as I would like to have a clear overview of all there is in this field, so that I could make use of others work, not replicate work, and to see where there are gaps to fill in or ways to build on something, or just so that I didn't miss something amazing, I think we need to recognise we live at a time when, with ever more people than ever before in the world, it's becoming impossible for anyone to have a comprehensive idea of the state of the art around the world. Something like a 'literature review' could only ever be incomplete and ephemeral. We can only float in an ocean of links without beginning or end, situated in a structure always in the process of assembly and decay, in part planned and subverted as we go. Only 6 years ago it was feasible to maintain a comprehensive list of DH but now, as with anything else on the internet, there is no end to it. Tag, link and search will work better than collection and taxonomy. I suppose the only generalised knowledge/overview we can expect is statistics and DH moments that spread as memes among the DH community. Perhaps then, some distant reading on DH projects/tools/frameworks/repos/datasets would be useful. Most likely there's more than one person working on that already that I haven't happened upon about yet.

In-Reply-To: <20160720055321.059D9787B@digitalhumanities.org> While I think there's room for more than one site that provides ways to find tools and other digital resources that are of use to digital humanists and others, it's worth pointing out that a well-developed initiative of this kind has been in existence for over five years. DiRT Directory http://dirtdirectory.org/ (initially based upon the excellent work that Lisa Spiro did on the Digital Research Tools Wiki) lists hundreds of tools and has a committed editorial and development community. It also has an API, integration with other DH projects such as TaPoR and Commons in a Box, and is currently being translated into Spanish. We encourage everyone to get involved and contribute new tools or update and add to existing listings.

The editorial in the last of these, "100010101 and all that", is worth considering for the relatively minor degree of translation required to bring it into the present. I quote bits of it below, omitting those which refer to articles published in those three issues, to highlight problems that meanwhile have not gone away: the relationship between what we somehow perceive and that which cannot be digitised; the rhetoric of precision clothing that which is digitised; the triumphalism, esp among the newly converted; the championing of volume; the resistance to it all, cloaking unease or even fear of the machine; and, at the end, the possibility of hands held across the two-cultured gulf: > At every turn we come on the same central problem: how far is it > right to turn history into numbers?

Februar 2017 [2] From: Émilie_Pagé-Perron (41) Subject: CALLS FOR PAPERS: "Text as Data: Digital Humanities for Text Analysis" (227th AOS - L.A., March 17-20, 2017) --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 Jul 2016 20:00:50 +0000 From: Subject: **FRIST VERLÄNGERT** - DHd 2017 "Digitale Nachhaltigkeit", Bern 13. - 18. 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 26. 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 atdhd2017.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.

Making a list of tools or using a tool is not a interesting research activity, to my mind. Challenging goals are imagining new scenarios, creating new applications, obtaining new results (" to make and remake tools"). If I have to learn how to use a tool like Gephi, for example, in order to make social network analysis of literature, I can read Gephi's manual or go to a teacher's lesson or have the support of a sw developer. The point for me is why I'm making this analysis, the results I achieve, how I achieve these results, what I could find out through this research in the future. Sometimes in DH I use Machine learning algorithms and ML libraries, but I think that to include a list of ML libraries in a list of DH tools is not particularly useful. When you have finished making the catalogue of tools, the tools have already changed, because somebody worked on them.

Allen Foster and Pauline Rafferty Facet Publishing New edited collection on managing digital cultural objects. Facet Publishing have announced the publication of Managing Digital Cultural Objects: Analysis, discovery and retrieval edited by Allen Foster and Pauline Rafferty both at Aberystwyth University. The book explores the analysis and interpretation, discovery and retrieval of a variety of non-textual objects, including image, music and moving image. Bringing together chapters written by leading experts in the field, the first part of this book provides an overview of the theoretical and academic aspects of digital cultural documentation and considers both technical and strategic issues relating to cultural heritage projects, digital asset management and sustainability. The second part includes contributions from practitioners in the field focusing on case studies from libraries, archives and museums. While the third and final part considers social networking and digital cultural objects. Managing Digital Cultural Objects: Analysis, discovery and retrieval draws from disciplines including information retrieval, library and information science (LIS), digital preservation, digital humanities, cultural theory, digital media studies and art history. It’s argued that this multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach is both necessary and useful in the age of the ubiquitous and mobile web. Key topics covered include: * Managing, searching and finding digital cultural objects * Data modelling for analysis, discovery and retrieval * Social media data as a historical source * Visual digital humanities * Digital preservation of audio content * Photos on social networking sites * Searching and creating affinities in web music collections * Film retrieval on the web. The book will provide inspiration for students seeking to develop creative and innovative research projects at Masters and PhD levels and will be essential reading for those studying digital cultural object management. Equally, it should serve practitioners in the field who wish to create and develop innovative, creative and exciting projects in the future. -ends Press and review copies contact: James Williams, Marketing & Sales Manager, Facet Publishing Tel: +44 (0)20 7255 0597 Email: james.williams@facetpublishing.co.uk Notes: Managing Digital Cultural Objects: Analysis, discovery and retrieval | Jul 2016 | 256pp | Paperback; 9781856049412; £54.95 About the editors: Allen Foster has a BA in Social History, a Master's in Information Management and a PhD in Information Science.

I find it more useful to think about methodologies than tools. In my past projects I've had to "roll my own" quite frequently, and I'd rather hear about the method behind someone's implementation - regardless of whether it's self-made or an off-the-shelf tool - than just "I used Gephi to make this visualization." I'm not saying that in general that's where the conversation ends, but I have sat through more than one presentation that doesn't explain what's going on in the implementation or the why of using it, and that's frustrating.

He continues: > To be sure, this power has not always been wielded for good: students > today can "œcite anything, but construe nothing,"* stringing together > KWICs (keywords in context), and reading only a surrounding sentence > or two (if that). But however they are used, these tools and > platforms have transformed our daily work habits. *Jonathan Barnes, in Anthony Grafton, Worlds Made by Words, p. 322 But his crucial point follows in the next sentence: > The same cannot be said, however, about our methods. Indeed, early > modern intellectual historians still follow approaches that were > established long before the Internet came of age. He notes some exceptions, but then turns to de Bolla's book. Despite "an idiosyncratic terminology that can turn prose into dense thickets of jargon, and... argumentation... largely proleptic, demanding great patience from the reader"... [de Bolla] engages in a valuable experiment that brings digital methods to the fore of intellectual history". Tried and (perhaps) true methods in intellectual history are not necessarily a bad thing, but this is for intellectual historians to say. Bringing "digital methods to the fore of intellectual history" is also not a bad thing -- this we can say. But is the benefit from this latter good thing anything more than a drawing of attention to the fact that concordancing and generating frequency lists can provide some insight into historical and literary texts? Should we be grateful for the occasional glance in our direction? There are two intellectual (indeed) and disciplinary problems here. One is (as the topic modellers et al will be eager to point out) that much more of demonstrable value for intellectual history could be done with tools readily available anywhere the internet reaches. The other problem is that the people who are good at devising new tools, and eager to do so, are not hearing from the intellectual historians -- or, to put the matter with additional bite, that some intellectual historians don't venture very far from a rather old comfort zone. You'd think that the promise of different if not better intellectual history would be sufficiently tempting. To my mind the fact that such elementary uses of the available tools evident from The Architecture of Concepts has accomplished this bringing-to-the-fore is less to be happy about after so many decades of work in the field. The book does get ringing praise, e.g. from Jonathan Israel in Critical Inquiry (http://criticalinquiry.uchicago.edu/jonathan_israel_reviews_peter_de_bolla/) and from Michael Gavin's blog (http://modelingliteraryhistory.org/2015/09/18/the-arithmetic-of-concepts-a-response-to-peter-de-bolla/). Given that de Bolla's work has morphed into The Concept Lab, in the Centre for Digital Kowledge at Cambridge (http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/programmes/the-concept-lab-cambridge-centre-for-digital-knowledge), shouldn't we be expecting much, much more?

Nearly all tools have an underlying (CS) methodology - and this methodology might be wrong. In computer science we develop tools that, given certain inputs (e.g. text), try to achieve the "best" outputs (e.g. topics). The tool is developed based on a certain assumption of what "best" means. To take an arbitrary example, say topic model tools, the CS assumption is that: "Best" topics are formed whenever words of the same group occur together in many documents. This assumption is clearly wrong - but some people found it useful in practise. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. As a consequence, results need to be double-checked by humanities and computer science researchers in collaboration to make sure that "best" outputs are actually achieved, that everyone is aware of error modes, and so that better tools can be developed. This argument holds for pretty much all tools I know of. This includes web search, entity linking, named entity tagging, even the graph layout algorithms provided by Gephi. All successful tools are based on approximative assumptions (unless we have the perfect methodologies for human behavior). Well, manual exploration without computers also has many flaws. Currently, computer scientists develop tools based on one methodology, then humanists apply the tools to derive a different methodology. It is problematic if these methodologies do not match. Humanists have a better insight than computer scientists into what "best" means. Rather than believing that the tool will do the right thing, it would be very useful to have this insight communicated back so that computer scientists can develop better tools. Both sides need to be aware of the underlying methodologies and assumptions made for successful research. In the future, I hope that sentences such as "we apply tool X on data Y" are replaced with "from data Y we obtain results based on the [CS assumption here] as this is well aligned with [DH assumption here], because ..." If you have any questions about underlying assumptions and methodologies made by your favorite tool, please send me an email off-list. I am happy to help. A nice day to all of you, too!

I'm clearly wanting to edge closer to the preoccupation of computer science with developing tools, and away from the help desk's helpful advice about which ones to pick up and use. But the concept 'method' has a very different trajectory'. The divergence is over the tendency of 'method' to become something fixed. (Consider, for example, "I have a method for doing that." Contrast "What if I try doing this?") What I am struggling to express is something very close to 'live coding' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_coding), something performative, for an audience of one. There are surely people here who know a great deal more about this than I do, but allow me to have a go. When I learned programming (Fortran, assembler) you had to plan everything. Flowcharts always; "one line of comment for every line of code" was the slogan I tried to live by. The reason for this now seemingly absurd amount of effort was that the 'turnaround time' -- itself a telling phrase -- could be hours, even days, and what you got back across the I/O counter in the computing centre was more often than not the result of some silly error in keypunching. (Once I received a call: "How many boxes of printout did you expect????") All that has changed, of course. You try things out. Experiment. Yes? I'm speaking about coding for research purposes. Are there stable methods at the edge of research, where it cuts into the unknown? Can the aim of a research discipline be stability? Fixed methods? Would it be reasonable to think that the direction we're going in -- we who live at the crash-site of computing and the humanities -- is far more about tooling, not tools, not methods? Of course people in CS will continue to discover cool algorithms that form part of the standard toolkit, but I am wanting to talk about discovering, not discoveries. And finally, a request: to use the wonderfully polysyllabic 'methodology' when it means something more than 'method'. Clearly the ghost of Thomas Sprat haunts me. Comments?

It has 12 questions plus a demographics section, and should take no more than 5 minutes to complete (if you have a lot to say it could take longer). https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/medievalists_and_digital_resources If you identify as a medievalist - broadly defined - at any level (faculty, student, librarian, independent scholar) please fill in this survey and pass it along to your colleagues, particularly those who are not on social media or listservs. And if you don't use digital editions at all I DO want to hear from you! The survey will be available until mid-August. Thank you so much for your time.

Gilbert Bagnani on the attribution of the Ludus de Morte Claudii in Arbiter of Elegance: A study of the Life & Works of C. Petronius (1954) I do not propose to deal with the question of style, since this is a matter of personal evaluation and opinion. We do not possess any other examples of the pamphlet literature of the time, whether by Seneca or by anyone else, and we have therefore no fair terms of comparison, but to say that "the sytle and spirit of the piece can be readily recognized as those of the philosopher-poet in his lighter vein" would seem, to me at least, to go far beyond the evidence. […] Still, I think it is fair to say that, were it not for the manuscript attribution and Dio's mention of the Apokolokyntosis, the Senecan authorship would never have appeared obvious on grounds of style alone.

A limited number of tickets are available at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/big-data-analysis-for-the-humanities-and-social-sciences-tickets-26708754604: ‘Big Data Analysis for the Humanities and Social Sciences’, August 26th, King’s College London. Host This event is hosted by King's Digital Lab. Facilitator The workshop will be led by Raaz Sainudiin. Raaz completed a PhD in Statistics at Cornell University in 2005 and was a Research Fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 at the Statistics Department of Oxford University until 2007. He is currently a Senior Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at University of Canterbury, Christchurch, NZ. His recent excursions into scalable data science is funded by databricks academic partners program. His CV can be found here. Overview This workshop will introduce elements of Scalable Data Science for humanities and social science researchers using Apache Spark over a Databricks shard. It will guide attendees through hands-on analysis of US State of the Union addresses, Wikipedia click-streams, live Tweets, and Old Bailey Online dataset. What we'll do The workshop will introduce the basics of the in-memory distributed computing framework Apache Spark, including basic map-reduce operations via Spark's resilient distributed datasets (RDDs) for a word-count of US State of the Union addresses (first 40 minutes), data exploration via no-sql queries using Spark's dataframes for Wiki click-streams (30-40 minutes), Spark-streaming for filtering and getting top hash-tags of live tweets (30-40 minutes) and finally the loading, xml-parsing and the beginnings of exploration of the Old Bailey Online dataset (40 minutes, including discussions). There will be a 20 minute break during the workshop. Who should attend? Researchers in the humanities and social sciences who would like an introduction to big data analysis, using industry-standard tools. The workshop will be technical, and best suited to people with a good grasp of programming. More advanced users will be able to extend themselves. Non-programmers interested in seeing 'under the hood' of data analysis, perhaps in order to collaborate more effectively with technical colleagues, are also welcome. What you need to bring and do Bring a laptop if you have one. Access to eduroam and The Cloud will be available. Ideally you will have signed up for a Databricks Community Edition account before the day so you can follow along. Please get on the waiting list for Databricks Community Edition as soon as possible: https://databricks.com/try-databricks.

Conference Announcement: What should be in your Digital Toolbox? The Linnean Society of London, in collaboration with the Transcribe Bentham http://blogs.ucl.ac.uk/transcribe-bentham/ initiative at University College London (UCL), is hosting a one-day conference on 10 October 2016 to showcase how innovative technology is being applied to the humanities and natural sciences. The "Digital Toolbox" conference will demonstrate how researchers, curators and enthusiasts can use digital tools to explore historical and scientific material in new ways. An example is the EU-funded READ http://read.transkribus.eu/ project, which seeks to unlock complex handwritten material in archival collections, to automatically index digital images of text, and to teach computers how to transcribe handwritten text. Cutting-edge transcription technology developed as part of the READ project will be demonstrated and discussed. The conference will be a platform to share ideas on the best means of exploiting complex research data and opening it up to a wider audience. We are delighted to welcome Melissa Terras, Professor of Digital Humanities at UCL as keynote speaker. More details on the full programme will be available soon. There will be a small registration fee of £15 for the event. This will cover tea/coffee, lunch and a wine reception.

Fixed methods? Would it be reasonable to think that the direction we're going in -- we who live at the crash-site of computing and the humanities -- is far more about tooling, not tools, not methods? Of course people in CS will continue to discover cool algorithms that form part of the standard toolkit, but I am wanting to talk about discovering, not discoveries." Hi Willard, Creativity is as much defined by what we can and cannot do as what we want to do, our goals or ambitions. The tool is only as effective as the user. As a technologist or "tooler" (often used in a derogatory way) I take various approaches to the tools I'm already familiar with to achieve my goals (of course I try to add to my toolset or replace faulty tools when necessary). One digital tool I use is the browser-based Zoomify image engine. The Zoomify team is always looking for ways to expand thecapabilities http://www.zoomify.com/announcingV4.htm of the engine, but it does not follow that they are necessarily the best people at using that engine to create visualizations. why would they be? It is their clients, the developers, who invest the time learning to use it on projects. It is they who create the most impressive implementations as skilled "end-users." This analogy might be of interest. I am competent at playing blues on the diatonic harmonica, a very limited instrument. With training, perseverance and time invested over a number of years, I learned how to do it. But the diatonic harmonica (1898 design) was never designed to be played using the blues techniques I learned. The instrument (tool) was designed and built by Germans, but African-American artists had a different conception of music centered on the pentatonic scale and invented a different way of playing that same harmonica (bending reeds and other techniques) that the harmonica makers never imagined was possible. The users expanded the possibilities of the tools, though over time the methods they pioneered have become "fixed" and overused. Still, you have to "put in the time." It took me at least four years to become an intermediate harmonica player competent in man of the idiosyncratic techniques (methodology?) of blues harmonica players. Another wrinkle - many of the best artists were illiterate, and they were not very good at describing/how /they made their music. Even with modern advantages (method books, better educated teachers) it still takes hundreds of repetitions before a technique can be used/meaningfully /(I use that word a lot these days) to create music. Today there is design renaissance - craftsmen are making better harmonicas, and players like myself have to expand our end-user abilities if we want to take advantage of them. In the same way, it takes time spent using a digital tool (not just learning it) to use it effectively and produce interesting work. I've been using Photoshop for at least 15 years - I not only can use Photoshop, I can/play it/. That requires an investment to do well, or even adequately. Perhaps collaboration and sharing of work///and //ideas/ between people with disparate skill sets is required to create digital projects of value. Is it a good time investment for humanities scholars to become expert technologists, or is division of labor a better solution? There's always overlap, of course. A tools effectiveness is a combination of the tool's capabilities and the extent to which I can use (and even distort) that tool. I'm not going to pick up a guitar when I get inspired, because I'm much, much better at harmonica. Theoretically over ten years I could learn to play the guitar, but right now that 1898 Marine Band is the better tool for me, despite all it's limitations.

Too often I find that the structure and/or classifications in which data is presented are taken for granted and then a taken for granted tool is applied on top of that. One may argue it is very counterproductive to start questioning the very nature of one's data, but I find that doing so actually already leads one to the design of tools that are commensurate with how that data/information is structured. I consider that a very important activity within DH, perhaps even something that could be called theory building within DH. For me, an example of this causing friction is some of archaeology's adaptation of space syntax. Not only do I find the social theoretical basis (or 'necessity' in another word) for space syntax poorly argued and articulated (and not very often questioned), it was developed as a method/series of measure designed to aid production of better urban design. This, of course, doesn't preclude an analytical or interpretive value to its measures, but one should be asking the question: does this measure/tool suit my data and interest and is it capable of producing outputs in the same category as my purpose? Careful considerations of these ontological and epistemological questions may mean data needs to be restructured into units of analysis that need to be treated with methods/tools designed for these units, which need to be produce output fit for purpose by addressing the kind of questions/information that the purpose consists of or relies upon. With this, I'm not (yet!) questioning the mathematics and zero's and one's digital tools would be based on, but definitely how these basics are appropriated to create digital research environments, (data) structures, and processes, and calling on researchers to ensure they are aware of what it means every step of the way. (In a way, how is a 'word' a 'word' and how does that suit or is that a necessity for purpose?) Most digital tools to me are about searching, selecting, combining, collating, calculating, and overall (re)organisation (incl. visualisations), often in more complex and bigger ways than the human brain could feasibly achieve. Digital processing doesn't necessarily change the meaning of our data, it just teases out particular patterns and 'values' from them. This for me implies that the limitations to interpretation of our data that we started with (theories/hypotheses) still limit the output (reorganisation) produced by digital tools. It's where the frame of interpretation shifts one needs to be careful. The digital tool shouldn't change the theoretical framework (or the nature of a hypothesis), but contribute a view on it or add detail or possibly accuracy. Anyway, I hope this makes sense to people on this list and might be of use as a thought and knowledge production process. Laura, I was wondering what CS stands for in your contribution?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 27 Jul 2016 12:30:16 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: tooling revised Thanks to Andrew Taylor's harmonica my 'tooling' must expand, from devising tools to the phenomenology of their use. My favourite examples are the calligrapher's edged pen and the wood-carver's chisel, but I suppose we could just as well cite the statements in a programming language, each of which is a tool the programmer is unlikely to modify but which can be used to do many things. So we're talking about a significant degree of inventiveness with a tool and what that signifies? And then there's the whole discussion centred on making things. In a significant foregrounding, The New Companion to Digital Humanities makes its opening chapter "Between bits and atoms: Physical computing and desktop fabrication in the humanities". Jentery Sayers, Devon Elliott, Kari Kraus, Bethany Nowviskie and William Turkel write that, > Humanities scholars now live in a moment where it is rapidly becoming > possible... for 'regular people [to] rip, mix, and burn physical > objects as effortlessly as they edit a digital photograph'.... > Manifesting what Neil Gerschenfeld calls 'the programmability of the > digital worlds we've invented' applied 'to the physical world we > inhabit... these new kinds of objects move easily, back and forth, in > the space between bits and atoms.... Thanks to the development of > embedded electronics, artifacts that are fabricated using desktop > machines can also sense and respond to their environments, go online, > communicate with other objects, log data, and interact with > people.... Following Richard Stennett's dictum that 'making is > thinking'... we not that these 'thinking', 'sensing', and 'talking' > things offer us new ways to understand ourselves and our assumptions, > as do the processes through which we make them. Anyone who has been reading Evelyn Fox Keller on computational biology and biological computing as well as the embracing literature on the human in our computationally affected world can see in part where this is going -- the part, hugely significant, that tends to surface as scare-stories in the popular press. But the emphasis here is otherwise, on "the importance of transduction, haptics, prototyping, and surprise when conducting research with new media...." Sayers et al continue: > [M]aking things between bits and atoms thus becomes a practice deeply > enmeshed in emerging technologies that intricately blend human- and > machine-based manufacturing. For the humanities, such making is > important precisely because it encourages creative speculation and > critical conjecture, which... entail the production of fuzzy > scenarios, counterfactual histories, possible worlds, and other > fabrications. Indeed, the space between bits and atoms is very much > the space of 'what if'... Keller asks, with her eye on the scary (and thrilling) side, "how close to the edge of 'as if' are we prepared to go?" (2003: 213). John Wall, with his meticulous-cautious-adventurous simulation of John Donne preaching from Paul's Cross in the early 17C, supplies an Early Modernist scholar's example of how this edging into the unknown is done. (For more see his essay in the forthcoming Debates in the Digital Humanities 2016, ed. Gold and Klein.) He reminds us of what research ought always to be. But back to the New Companion. What a good way to show from the get-go that it is new.

A substantial amount of research has been undertaken into Theban scribes and contractual parties, but witnesses are often left out. We aim to tackle the issue of who these witnesses were, what status and connections they had in the Theban community, and how they were chosen, including often-overlooked information on scribal traditions in the Ancient Near East.

Despite their pervasiveness, the application of these technologies to addressing pressing global concerns such as violence towards girls and women (in universities, on the streets, in schools and so on), is vastly under-realized. Indeed, much of the work, to date, on mobile and social media in relation to violence in the lives of girls and young women has been on its threats and harmful effects, particularly in the context of cyber-bullying and other forms of online harassment (Hart and Mitchell 2015). But what are the possibilities for turning these technologies into technologies of non-violence? In Technologies of Non-Violence (2012), Jonathan Bock considers this question in his exploration of the ways in which technologies can be associated with advocacy and social action, as happened, for example, during the Arab Spring. Bock’s work serves to frame a growing movement in which digital technologies might be examined in relation to what could be termed networks of resistance, particularly in relation to gender-based violence and efforts towards non-violence and the development of new forms of imagined publics (Mugo and Antonites 2014). While we recognize that the root causes of violence, such as poverty and gender inequality, will not be solved simply by the addition of new technologies, the promise of this work framed as technologies of non-violence may inspire the development of new technological applications. For example, Harassmap (www.harassmap.org) and Hollaback! (www.ihollaback.org) address street harassment through the crowd sourcing of stories on online maps that identify sites of risk, harassment, and safety, and, in so doing, they give voice to girls and young women. How might advances, both theoretical and practice-based, in addressing violence against girls and young women include the development and testing of new apps and software, and the creation of grass-roots maker technologies that can serve at-risk populations according to their contexts? This Special Issue of Girlhood Studies seeks to examine the ways in which the notion of technologies of non-violence might lead to a re-imagining of both urban and rural spaces as sites of networked resistance and transformation for girls and young women. Contributions to this themed issue may address, among others, the following questions: - What existing digital technologies of non-violence are used or could be used by girls and young women (both online and offine)? In what ways do they (or might they) function for girls and young women in relation to emergency communication, local storytelling, education, or addressing contexts and circumstances that put girls at risk? - What historical technologies might be re-examined as girl-centered technologies of non-violence? - What types of software and support infrastructures exist to facilitate girls’ and young women’s development of technologies of non-violence (for example, the plug-and-play MIT App Inventor)? What roles do NGOs, universities, and crowdsourcing hold in the development and support of these softwares, and other forms of technologies of non-violence? - What technology-enabled research methods are being used by and with girls and young women to create various kinds of data (for example, affective storytelling media)? How does this work inform policy making? - In what ways might mobile technologies designed for non-violence meet the needs of diverse groups of girls and young women such as, for instance, LGBTi, indigenous, and racial minority girls as well as girls with disabilities, and other marginalized populations? - What public infrastructures like law enforcement, for example, are required to respond to these technologies? How might we think about digital technologies in relation to the role of bystanders in schools and universities? What are the security risks? - How might technologies currently present in or part of violence by girls (like cyber-bullying) and against girls and young women (such as rape culture, and child trafficking on social media), be redesigned, intercepted or re-appropriated for non-violence? What measures are already being taken and by whom (social media companies, universities, public schools) and with what effect? How are technologies being incorporated into, for example, locally developed campaigns on consent? - In what ways are intersecting practices, such as community and participatory arts, media production, and community development/network building represented by technologies of non-violence? - How do existing policy frameworks seek to create non-violent environments for online technologies? In what ways do such frameworks succeed? How do they fall short by, for example, reinforcing normative, gender-dominating and patri- archal practices? - What theories are employed in the development and application of technologies for non-violence with young women? How might existing theories of non-violence and activist methods be re-imagined by incorporating new technologies, and practices/theories around technologies and society? Guest Editor Laurel Hart is a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Post Doctoral Fellow at McGill University. She is guest-editing this themed issue with Claudia Mitchell. Laurel’s work focuses on digital multi-modal communication. She is particularly interested in the intersection of high and low technologies, and on how tech is hacked, appropriated, and re-framed for social justice, creative practice, cultural transformation, and for girls and young women’s selfefficacy and voice.

Scholars, institutions, and their representatives struggle with ways to implement progressive Canadian open access and open source policies in ways that make sense for research professionals and society at large. Even in the national press, we hear about research libraries that cannot cope with for-cost access to publicly-supported research due to the rising cost of journals, books, and even digital scholarship. Other forums express concern about the lack of appropriate, national-level digital research infrastructure. Within this context, how can we work toward networked open social scholarship: the successful realization of robust, inclusive, participatory, and publicly-engaged digital scholarship? Networked open social scholarship involves creating and disseminating research and research technologies to a broad, interdisciplinary audience of specialists and non-specialists in ways that are both accessible and significant. But how can we model networked open social scholarship practices and behaviour? What approaches to the development of workflows, tools, systems, technologies, publishing apparatus, protocols, policies, and initiatives best foster and encourage openness? How do we promote, record, archive, and study the evolving processes of engaging with data? How can we leverage existing resources in libraries and cultural institutions across Canada to provide regular opportunities for mentorship and training in core networked open social scholarship areas? We invite you to join this discussion during our annual INKE-hosted researcher and partner gathering in Victoria, BC. This gathering will provoke conversation and mobilize collaboration in and around digital communication, especially electronic scholarly production, as well as issues of (open) access, partnership, dissemination, alternative modes and methods, and the shift from prototype to production. This action-oriented event is geared toward leaders and learners from all fields and arenas, including academic and non-academic researchers, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, librarians and archivists, publishers, members of scholarly and professional associations and consortia, open source practitioners and developers, industry liaisons, and other stakholders. Taking the success of past years’ INKE-hosted gatherings in Whistler as our starting point, we hope to simultaneously formalize connections across fields and open up different ways of thinking about the pragmatics and possibilities of digital scholarship. Featured events include: • Lead presentations by Dr. Susan Brown (U Guelph) and Dr. Vincent Larivière (U Montréal) • Lightning talks, where authors present 4-minute versions of longer papers
circulated prior to the gathering, followed by a brief discussion (papers may be 
conceptual, theoretical, application-oriented, and more) • Show & Tell session, where presenters do digital demonstrations of their projects and / or prototypes • Next Steps conversation, to articulate in a structured setting what we will do together in the future We invite proposals for lightning papers that address these and other issues pertinent to research in the area, or for relevant project demonstrations. Proposals should contain a title, an abstract (of approximately 250 words, plus list of works cited), and the names, affiliations, and website URLs of presenters. Longer papers for lightning talks will be solicited after proposal acceptance for circulation in advance of the gathering. We are pleased to welcome proposals in all languages of our community; note that the chief working language of past gatherings has been English. Please send proposals on or before October 1st 2016 to Alyssa Arbuckle at alyssaa@uvic.ca. “Networked Open Social Scholarship” is sponsored by the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) research group and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. This gathering is organized by Ray Siemens, Alyssa Arbuckle, Jon Bath, Tanja Niemann, and Brian Owen, working with our Whistler Advisory Group: Clare Appavoo, Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Chad Gaffield, Janet Halliwell, Brian Owen, and Sally Wyatt. Please consider joining us in Victoria for what is sure to be a dynamic discussion!

V. Bowden, ed., Faster than thought: A symposium on digital computing machines (London: Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons, 1953), pp. 286-310; and "Solvable and unsolvable problems" (1954), in Jack Copeland, ed., The essential Turing: Seminal writings in computing, logic, philosophy, artificial intelligence and artificial life, plus The Secrets of the Enigma (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 2004), with a fine introduction by Copeland. Note that the first of these does not appear in the table of contents or the first page of the article with Turing's name -- these were the days when reviews in the TLS normally appeared unattributed. Bowden does note the authorship of each of the contributions to his edited volume, however. And once again: let us protest whenever possible against the ridiculous attitude of our administrative masters toward edited collections. Both of the above demonstrate how absurd this attitude is.

Especially the notion that '[criteria of significance] should always be grounded in the nature of the problem itself and not in the tools of problem solving.' As I wrote in preceding discussions, such idea alerts us that we should question the tools we are working with, and for which purpose they were devised. That is not to say that using quantification for interpretive aims is always 'wrong', but we should be able to argue substantively that their use is of inevitable relevance for the purpose. I appreciate this was written for historical discourse, and 'what actually happened' does not universally apply to humanities or social scientific scholarship, and I even find quite surprising as a goal for historical enquiry, which in my external view is more about understanding and cross-referencing sources on something that reportedly happened. (In contrast, archaeological evidence is necessarily evidence of something that did actually happen, but it is not a given that exactly what happened can become to be known through archaeological enquiries into its evidence. Historical sources or reports are evidence of creating a narrative or account of something. I digress...) Back to your actual question: I'm not sure what you mean to say. It seems to suggest that DH is seen as a kind of methodological singularity, which I'm sure it isn't. I'm also not entirely sure whether it always applies that methodological pluralism is always necessary. That probably depends on the ontological register one is working in. But, I will concede that very often our questioning and interests will be such that it merit from such pluralism. Pluralism does load us with the task of formulating equally substantive arguments on how plural methods' outcomes belong or relate together. I'm not often in favour of the kind of uncritical eclecticism purporting to be explanatory rather than exploratory that at best stands a fighting chance of juxtaposition and correlation. I guess this leaves us with the simple consideration (and I would argue a duty to argue) of why a DH approach is suitable and commensurable with our investigative purposes and the nature of our data.

Under the direction of Michael Gleicher (Professor of Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison), Michael Witmore (Director of the Folger Shakespeare Library) and Jonathan Hope (Professor of Literary Linguistics at Strathclyde University, Glasgow), the seminar seeks those who are integrating statistical, "scalable" DH scholarship with more traditional literary approaches. A full program description may be found here: http://www.folger.edu/2016-2017-institute-scholarly-programs#Visualizing-English-Print . (A description of the larger project and the tools and approaches it employs may be found here: http://graphics.cs.wisc.edu/WP/vep/ .) Applications to participation are due by September 6. Join us to establish a community of practice around VEP's data, tools, and methodologies as it seeks collaborative partners for its next phase of development. N.B., VEP funding extends travel and lodging eligibility to all qualified scholars who are admitted to the seminar. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

I don't think History is just about what has happened (as suggested) and is not just about facts and methods of working but incorporates a range of historiographies/theories and inter-disciplinary frameworks studying different levels and facets of human progress and development. The conversation has been about tools but not about the information that they operate on. A tool or technology-led approach is problematic in any setting. Software tools that rely on traditional database systems contain limited or no semantics, and therefore meaning is implemented within the software which can (for many reasons) be at a distance from the subject owners/experts. Many databases are used to store information in artificial models and it is the application's data layer, business rules layer, UI layer of code that interprets data and determines how information is presented and functions. This dependency can create an inflexibility in terms of use and function. Knowledge, ideas and approaches change and tools ideally need to take account of this. If we turned this on its head and used knowledge representation to embed all the semantics and logic into the data, and software simply materialised this data, produced by subject experts (who don't need to learn a programming language), then this might change the way that tools were built - they would be 'knowledge-led'. This might open up what would be possible and the data would itself would be a research object independent of any software implementation, supporting the preservation of digitally recorded knowledge. It would also be cheaper (in terms of software development) and more sustainable!

The interface between language and literature has been the object of considerable interdisciplinary research on methods of analysis that can be applied across the two fields and their sub-areas. Less research has focused, however, on the influence of the new technologies on this interface, which transcends borders and cultures, with the process of translation adding yet another dimension to the already complex picture. The 6th Annual International Conference on L3 will examine the various issues and factors that intervene at the interface of language and literature, not least the cultural context(s) in which it is situated. The conference will bring together multi-disciplinary expertise from all relevant fields. We invite submissions for an abstract of a research-based paper in any of the relevant fields, including but not limited to: • Second-Language Acquisition • Public Service Interpreting and Translation • Comparative Literature • Linguistics • Translation and Interpreting • Curriculum Design [...] PROGRAM CHAIR Prof. Jeff Schonberg Coordinator, English Language Learning and Linguistics Program Department of English and Modern Languages Angelo State University Member, Texas Tech University System, USA [...] --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Aug 2016 09:36:58 +0100 From: Michael J Pidd Subject: Digital Humanities Congress Dear colleague, I am pleased to inform you that the programme for this year's Digital Humanities Congress is now available at the following web address: http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/dhc Our keynote speakers will be: Professor Marilyn Deegan (King's College London) Dr Stephen Gregg (Bath Spa University) Dr Matthew Gold (City University of New York) Registration is now open and can be accessed at the following web address: http://hridigital.shef.ac.uk/dhc2016 I would be grateful if you would circulate this information around your networks.

We proudly present speakers from Tampa (Florida), England, France and Italy as well as Estonia and Georgia. We are honoured that Olivier Guyotjeannin (Paris), Elizabeth Danbury (London), Alison Stones (Pittsburgh: Public Lecture, 12 September, 7pm), Irmgard Fees (Munich) and Francesca Manzari (Rome) have accepted our invitation to present papers (programme and abstracts: http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at/de/tagung-12-1492016). Much more important, though, is the quality and variety of topics: discussions about data-modelling, best-practice examples of combined presentations of image and metadata are highlights of the digital part. Surveys of regional characteristics (England, Lombardy, Venice, Rome, Latvia and Lithuania, Georgia) and in depth-studies of single objects are - very intentionally - combined as necessary methodological contrast. Studies focusing on archival holdings in specific regions lead to papers dealing with chanceries and special types of charters, which are regularly decorated with artistic means. These means range from graphic signs developing in private charters in St Gall during the 8th century to signs characteristic of specific types of charters and highly refined artefacts made for famous late medieval collectors, and finally to (printed) charters which are equally perfect advertising media. The organizing team (Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler, Andreas Zajic) is pleased to invite you to this conference. Due to the limited space available at the Dachfoyer of the Haus-, Hof- und Staatsarchiv, we kindly ask you to register in time: https://goo.gl/forms/RkWlbVKwaxpUwcz52 or send a mail to illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com. 2) Gabi Bartz, Martina Bürgermeister, Markus Gneiss, Martin Roland, Georg Vogeler and Andreas Zajic have decided - after a peer-reviewing-process and internal discussions - to publish first results of the FWF project Illuminated Charters as Gesamtkunstwerk. http://monasterium.net/mom/IlluminierteUrkunden/collection 678 illuminated collective indulgences are freely accessible for everyone. We are well aware that we can only present work in progress. This is true for the digital part as well as for the content. Part of the indexing work has still to be implemented into the search environment and depth of information varies significantly. Partly this is a deliberate decision, because it does not make sense to offer extensive abstracts for poorly decorated objects which are only of importance due to their character as forerunners to later, more extensively illuminated indulgences. On the other hand there are charters which deserve more in-depth treatment, but parts of the description ([extensive] abstract, diplomatic comment, description of decoration and art-historical commentary) are still lacking. We hope, however, that users are willing to accept such shortcomings in order to get access more quickly. We want to encourage each and every user to give us feedback (illuminierteurkunden@gmail.com) such as additions, corrections (including typos), hints to additional sources, images or reference literature; do not hesitate to point out amendments no matter how small.

(p. 31) In doing digital humanities, how do we deal with this question? Surely (though I suspect it happens all the time) no one would wish to argue in favour of whatever is available on the shelf. But if not, then isn't "formal method" a highly problematic idea, even if we can say what "formal" means? (Brian Cantwell Smith, I recall, somewhere argues that "formal" is in effect a weasel-word in our context; we know what "formal dress" means, but how is a "formal method" anything other than one algorithmically expressed?)

This might open up what would be possible and the data would itself would be a research object independent of any software implementation, supporting the preservation of digitally recorded knowledge. It would also be cheaper (in terms of software development) and more sustainable! I believe the strengths of this argument (which sounds very Johanna-Drucker to me) are fundamentally about platform independence - data should be flexible, self-sustaining, and transferable to multiple platforms now and in the future. But I don't want the semantics, the meaning or interpretation, to be embedded in data - that's artificial, an imposition on a thinking audience. While I welcome opinions, I want to figure out what the data *means* in my own head, based on my own observations, and filtered through my own often-flawed-but-ongoing processes of interpretation. Of course that's an unfair take on what Dominic wrote, but that's rhetorical discussion for you! Now more of the same. I wonder to what extent the push for "knowledge-led" tools is more about which people and groups who will lead advancement, rather than how that advancement occurs. Jockeying. I think this is wrong-headed. No one approach should be leading in the collaboration between humanists and technology-focused people - it should be an ongoing exchange of ideas and methods targeted at whatever subject is being considered. Because scholarship is a continuum extending from the past to the unseeable future, we can try either (or rather, both) scholarship-driven or technology-driven approaches to a subject and see what comes out. Our collective brains (clumsy tools that they are) can assess the effectiveness of an approach both during the effort and afterwards, and adjust accordingly. There is no start-point or end-point, or there shouldn't be. We live in the iterative age, we can and should try multiple approaches - we might run into something we didn't anticipate. "More things in heaven and earth...", "unknown unknowns," etc.. Makes me think of the author Douglas Adams. Even language and writing are technological tools of course - more limited for some of us than others, but that is a skill-with-tool issue. All human communication relies on technology. The actual development of knowledge occurs inside our brains utilizing words, images, sounds, etc. A professional writer has greater skill with the technology of language than most so-called technologists, therefore the results (s)he produces tend to be more accurate and clearly-expressed. However a language is just another tool, and often not the best tool for interpreting or communicating humanist and sociological information (even that already contained in books). Writing and reading is only one medium for transferring data, our most established one. The actual development of knowledge occurs inside the brain, a jumble of words, images, sounds, etc. We're only beginning to improve the knowledge-transfer interface of the traditional journal to take advantage of how humans actually receive information. OED's first definition for /Interface/: A point where two systems, subjects, organizations, etc., meet and interact:/the *interface between* accountancy and the law Shifting tacks. In the discipline of history, I have read many articles that describe spatio-temporal features vaguely or even inaccurately. This is not because the author is a bad writer, but rather because traditional essay writing is an inefficient tool for explaining how spatio-temporal elements relate to each other. The reader has to go to many other often-disparate sources to develop that understanding, when a simple visualization could have illustrated the relationships quite well. Writing is quite limited - it can tell you about things, but it can't show them (that's arguable too, I guess). In a recent lecture I attended about UCLA's Digital Roman Forum (http://dlib.etc.ucla.edu/projects/Forum), the presenter told an anecdote about how many of the veteran historical scholars were disturbed by the actual spatial relationships between the various buildings/locations - it did not match what they'd built in their heads through years of study. While that's interesting in its own right, maybe we can agree that seeing a spatially-accurate visualization was providing them with information that conventional books and articles had not given them. When sharing information with others is the primary goal, sometimes a non-interpretative visualization can communicate better than writing can (or at least more succinctly).

Right away I'm wondering what is the difference between "information" and "data"? Yes, I'm thinking of the DIKW hierarchy (cf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIKW_Pyramid). I know how to store data, read it into a computer, ... But what do I do with "information", or higher up the hierarchy? > A tool or technology-led approach is problematic in any > setting.

All of the classic texts fit quite nicely into traditional databases (such as flat files :-). Does a book really lose its meaning if it is stored in digital form?

Data, e.g. a text, can yield information when processed by software (or "wetware") and that is the result of the researcher/expert choosing the software, and the software being written/implemented to carry out the tasks chosen by the researcher/expert. > Many databases are used to store information in artificial > models and it is the application's data layer, business rules layer, UI > layer of code that interprets data and determines how information is > presented and functions. Perhaps this means that the software/program reads in the data and produces output which results from the program processing the data and which is in a format specified in the program? This dependency can create an inflexibility in > terms of use and function. Knowledge, ideas and approaches change > and tools ideally need to take account of this. Certainly! Tools (i.e. software/programs) do what they are written/constructed to do, and this is not always what we want at the time or, especially, later when "Knowledge, ideas and approaches change". That's why so much effort continues to go into the construction of new and improved tools. But I want to emphasize that that process is handled by programmers who are hopefully working cooperatively with subject matter experts. (Of course both may be embodied in one person.) > If we turned this on its head and used knowledge representation to embed > all the semantics and logic into the data, and software simply materialised > this data, I don't understand this. Can we have an example? To continue my question I'll go back to my simple example of a text. What does it mean to have the data (i.e. the ordered words) along with "all the semantics and logic" stored? Where does all this additional material come from? Usually, the additional material is the output of well chosen and appropriate software applied by the expert. But if all of that additional material is already there, then the simple task of the software appears to be to display what is stored. > produced by subject experts (who don't need to learn a > programming language), This hits one of my hot buttons. I agree that a SME doesn't need to "learn" a programming language - i.e. to know, in detail, how to write all the possible headers used in Java, or how indentation is used in Python. But it is IMHO very important to understand algorithms, and the cardinal rule "Computers do what they are told, not what you want." Ambiguity is present in natural language, it is deadly in computer programming. If the SME doesn't understand this, then the tools constructed are likely to be riddled with bugs ... > then this might change the way that tools were built > - they would be 'knowledge-led'. I strongly agree that tools should be "knowledge-led", but fail to see how it is dependent on the storage of data.

I would like to be able to argue convincingly that one of the most far- reaching effects of digital computing has been to alter what it means to be precise, exact or accurate, and so to imply that everything not computationally tractable is imprecise, inexact, inaccurate. (I am aware of the technical distinction drawn between precision and accuracy, but for my purposes I use these terms more or less as synonyms, as we commonly do.) In the early 1970s J. H. Plumb, in a review touching on J. H. Hexter's The History Primer and his Doing History ("Manipulating the Past", Encounter, April 1973), wrote, > Whether we like it or not, quantification in history is here to > stay.... We are becoming a numerate society: almost instinctively > there seems now to be a greater degree of truth in evidence expressed > numerically than in any literary evidence, no matter how shaky the > statistical evidence, or how acute the observing eye.

(p. 64) -- or indeed a repulsion, depending on the person. Could we say: longing for numbers to speak the truth so badly that they are taken as true, or fearing that as a result the innumerable is no longer knowable? Here is a test for the mathematically undereducated, or for those who can remember what it was like. Take a look at this jpeg: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2821154/Fogel.jpg (from an article in the Times Literary Supplement for 13 June 1975, "From the Marxists to the Mormons", by Robert William Fogel). How would you react if you were an historian, even now? But back to my plea. I would greatly appreciate any references that would cast light on the history of these words -- precise, exact, accurate. I am hoping that someone has already written a history of them. Many thanks.

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.

I think it's a more than a technical distinction: it's fundamental to the lexical history you're interested in. Specifically, our ability to state things with great precision creates the illusion of accuracy and people who aren't good with numbers are all the more easily fooled. (I once had US money converted to British money by a US bank clerk who clearly had never before encountered a unit of currency bigger than the US dollar. She made the calculation using the inverse of the rate she really needed, and not wanting to take the hundreds of extra pounds she was offering me I asked her to check her calculation. Same answer. "Could you check again?". Same answer. "Look, sir [showing the 10-decimal place precision of her desk calculator's display], I'm giving you the correct answer". "Okay, I'll accept that exchange", I said, giving in.)

(p. 69) Good, humane sense from the co-author (with Robert Fogel) of perhaps the most controversial book in American history of the 20th Century, perhaps ever: Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery (1974). This book and its reception are a rich source for a study of computing in historiography. I refer to it here because it marks one of those moments in the reception history of computing at which methodology in a humanities discipline was most prominent, most disruptive and innovative. So, words on the subject from one of the leading figures of that time carry much weight, I'd think. Comments?

Sydney Brenner I came across this quote today (p. 202 in "The Gene" by Siddhartha Mukherjee), and it got me thinking about its inversion with respect to this discussion thread. Brenner's credentials in science can't be dismissed and so perhaps we should consider his statement in the context of the humanities, as well as in science. Can a "new technique", a "tool", a "software/program", which is designed for one purpose humanities, be used in a different area of investigation in the humanities and lead to progress in that area? I can think of many such examples in science. Most everything in the lab, (instruments, reagents), originated for use in some specific area, and then, later, uses were seen far beyond that start. (Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gel_electrophoresis first mentions the use in separation and analysis of DNA. Yet, much earlier it was used for the separation of proteins, and then later adapted to nucleic acids.) Are there similar examples in the (digital) humanities? Have people ever taken an existing tool from a different area and brought it to bear productively, perhaps after adaptation/modification, on their research problems? I know of examples where existing tools from non-humanities areas have been deployed in this way - e.g. the Virtual Paul's Cross project https://vpcp.chass.ncsu.edu and the Virtual MLK Project https://vmlk.chass.ncsu.edu. But I haven't seen humanities tools deployed in this way. Are there examples? --henry schaffer On Sun, Aug 7, 2016 at 3:56 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 235. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sun, 7 Aug 2016 08:45:56 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: not methodology but the problem > > > In the valuable collection of reminiscences, Living Economic and Social > History: Historians explain their interest in, and the nature of, their > subject, ed.

But he has lept ahead of me, or in a different direction. I've deliberately begun my queries with a blunter instrument or a different one. I'm starting in pursuit not of lexemes but of a rather loosely defined meaning afloat at a particular time through usage of words: as in the OED (s.v. 'precision', A.2.b): "The fact, condition, or quality of being precise; exactness, accuracy" . My question is, how was the meaning of 'precision' (in this broad sense) affected by or related to the invention and spread of digital computing? So far I have gathered up the following: M. Norton Wise, The Values of Precision (Princeton, 1995) Theodore M. Porter, Trust in Numbers (Princeton, 1995) Hans Heinz Holz, "Genauigkeit -- was ist das?" (Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte 25 (2002): 81-92 and others that open up from a strict focus on 'precision' in various ways. Further suggestions remain most welcome.

A Retrospective Consideration of the Relationship between Continental and Analytic Philosophy,’ Logical Empiricism: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives, ed. Paolo Parrini, Wesley C. Salmon, Marrilee H. Salmon, Pittsburgh, 2003. The context is the Heidegger - Carnap confrontation about the final eradication of metaphysics (ca. 1929) - according to Carnap's wish. The controversy is complicated and far-reaching, and finds a good summary in: James Luchte, Martin Heidegger and Rudolf Carnap: Radical Phenomenology, Logical Positivism and the Roots of the Continental/Analytic Divide, Philosophy Today, Volume 51, Number 3, Fall 2007, pp. 241-260. Carnap thinks that Heidegger's statement about "nothingness" - especially - das Nichts nichtet (nothingness nihilates) is nonsensical on several levels. Luchte and Gabriel try to work towards an understanding of Heidegger's "strict and no-nonsense" thinking contrasted a rather facile view of logical precision - with implication for Analytic Philosophy.

I think this benefits from a concept Willard used in that 2013 article - "Emergent Modelling." Here's a one definition-sentence, though the consideration goes over two pages, referenced below. *Emergent Modelling* is "is not [modelling] of or for something known, in reality or in consciously accessible imagination [at least in the beginning], and so cannot be systematically distinguished from unstructured play. When successful we often reach in retrospect for the word serendipity." (McCarty, Special Effects pp. 108-9) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/286487252 Maybe the tool-part of "methodological pluralism" (a wider concept) should be called "*emergent tooling*," using tools mindfully but without being too rigid about what we expect the results to be. Now with Machine Learning, even programmers can't predict what computer "neural networks" come up with. The algorithms are selected by people (usually, but the actual processing of data occurs in a very-opaque box which produces output that must then be interpreted. Jason Tanz writing on on "The End of Code" in /Wired/ Magazine: "People don't linearly write the programs," Rubin says. "After a neural network learns how to do speech recognition, a programmer can't go in and look at it and see how that happened. It's just like your brain. You can't cut your head off and see what you're thinking." When engineers do peer into a deep neural network, what they see is an ocean of math: a massive, multilayer set of calculus problems that -- by constantly deriving the relationship between billions of data points -- generate guesses about the world. So maybe we're all in the same boat with computing, regardless of discipline.

The version of a cultural object is identified, articulated, and analysed through diverse mechanisms in different fields of study. The study of versions allows for the investigation of the creative processes behind the conception of the object, a closer inspection of the socio-political contexts that affect it, and may even provide the means to investigate the provenance and the object’s circulation. The symposium will provide a platform for scholars from different research areas to exchange ideas across different forms of media, including text, image, and sound. The proposed symposium considers the term “versioning” in the broadest sense; while the understanding of versions differ in disciplines, this dialogue will explore the convergences and variances in its conception. The conversation will highlight the range and depth of existing studies and provide an inter-disciplinary understanding of the term. The symposium will focus on three primary areas: • What is a version? • Methods used in the electronic modelling of versions of cultural objects • The representation of these digital versions Application Process -------------------------- Proposals of up to 500 words are invited by 31 August 2016 from any disciplinary area which engage with either theoretical or practical applications of versioning. The symposium aims to challenge existing silos of disciplinary knowledge providing a platform for dialogue and debate, creating a more coherent understanding of the subject. We welcome applications from Irish, European, and international researchers and applications are welcome from both project-based and theoretical research. In particular, we encourage students and graduates of the Irish Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) PhD Programme to apply. Abstracts should be sent to the organisers by 31 August 2016 To: Vinayak.dasGupta@nuim.ie; roman.bleier@uni-graz.at Areas may include, but are not limited to: Textual studies, Variorum editions and collation methods, Musicology, Soundscapes, Film, studies, Religious studies, Bible studies and theology, Classical studies, Archaeology, Literary criticism, Translation studies, Manuscript studies, Oral history, Art history, Art criticism, Library Sciences, and Archiving Format --------- The symposium will be limited to 12 participants who will be selected based on a short abstract. Upon selection, participants will be asked to submit an extended abstract of 3000 words or a draft paper (no more than 8000 words) by 31 October 2016, which will be circulated to symposium participants in advance. The working paper will then be presented and discussed at the symposium. Additionally, every participant will be asked to read two working papers in advance of the symposium, review and prepare questions and comments for the authors. Completed articles will be considered for publication in an edited volume after the symposium. Deadlines ------------- 31 August: extended deadline for submission of abstracts 15 September: confirmation of acceptance 31 October: deadline for submission of extended abstract/draft paper Bursaries ------------ Bursaries for accommodation and transportation are available on request. For further details, please contact the organisers. The Versioning Cultural Objects symposium is generously funded by the Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) programme and Ireland's Programme for Research in Third-Level Institutions (PRLTI 5).

This edited volume will be a conceptual guide for academic librarians, faculty, and staff who are interested in cultivating partnerships centered on digital humanities work. We are looking for diverse international perspectives from all types of higher education institutions including public and private universities, colleges, technical institutes, professional or vocational schools, and community colleges. We are particularly interested in chapters that are co-authored by individuals in different academic or administrative areas, offices, or units. We invite authors to use this as an opportunity to reflect on their partnership and explore one or more prompts such as: * Reflect on how you have built a project network among staff, librarians, and faculty at your institution or across institutions. Describe the challenges and opportunities. What is at stake? * How do you conceptualize authorship and ownership of DH projects, and how does that manifest in distribution of work, credit, and funding? * How have you developed a shared vocabulary for describing your research questions, goals, and outcomes? * How has your partnership shaped your understanding of what it means to be a part of humanities education and higher education? * How have your teaching philosophies and strategies changed as a result of your collaboration? Please visit our full description for more prompts, and details on the proposal process. We look forward to hearing from you!

The first will deal with ABBYY, still one of the best software packages around for OCRing printed digitised print materials. Focusing on the software’s possible advantages and pitfalls, this workshop will show the participants how to prepare their documents in order to achieve the best OCR results. The second workshop will introduce Transkribus, a software package that has recently made great advancements in optically recognising characters in handwritten materials. The workshops are limited to 20 participants each. The programme will be completed by a number of lectures on related topics, including mass digitisation, digitisation project workflows and Copyright issues and Internet Property Rights related to digitization projects. This two-day workshop will take place from 29 to 30 September 2016 at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, preceding the DiXiT + ESTS 2016 conference which will be hosted at the same location. It offers the perfect opportunity for the conference’s participants and other interested scholars to become better acquainted with some of the main concerns that need to be addressed at the outset of both mass- and ad hoc digitisation projects. More information on the registration procedure etc. and the official call for participation will follow shortly. Preliminary enquiries can be sent to: mike.kestemont@uantwerpen.be.

In "Computers in Historical Analysis" (Computers and the Humanities 7.6, 1973), Charles Tilly surveyed the gains brought about by the machine in the conglomeration of specialities he called the "historical social sciences". (These fields, he argued, belonged together for the purposes of his survey because "1) they concentrate on human social relationships, 2) they deal with change over a substantial succession of particular times, 3) their procedures yield conclusions which are generalizable, at least in principle, beyond the particular cases observed.") In them, he observed, > ... the computer's chief impact so far has been to decrease the > effort and unit cost involved in procedures for which hand procedures > were already well established, and thus to increase the scale of > analysis to which those procedures could be applied. The critical > innovations... have so far occurred more or less independently of the > computer, but the computer is making their diffusion easier. (p. 334) How far beyond this have we come in these fields? (We can, and perhaps should, question the assumptions lurking around this "beyond".) Considering the majority of work then going on in history proper, he noted the prevalence of "description, interpretation of texts, reconstitution of sequences, imputation of motives to actors, making of single connections, offering of judgments, drawing of moral or political conclusions." He then observed that, > In principle, machines could do some of these things well. In > practice, these capacities of computers are developing only very > slowly, and historians, even historical social scientists, are doing > little to encourage their development.

As some of you know, Kay was originally trained by Margaret Masterman and then joined David Hays in the RAND Corporation’s machine translation project back in the ancient days of the mid-1950s. After RAND he went to Xerox PARC and ended up at Stanford. Among other things he tells when and why the term “computational linguistics” was coined. In the middle Kay observes: > Computational linguistics is not natural language processing. > Computational linguistics is trying to do what linguists do in a > computational manner, not trying to process texts, by whatever > methods, for practical purposes. Natural Language Processing, on the > other hand, is motivated by engineering concerns. I suspect that > nobody would care about building probabilistic models of language > unless it was thought that they would serve some practical end. There > is nothing unworthy in such an enterprise. But ALPAC’s conclusions > are as true today as they were in the 1960’s—good engineering > requires good science. If one’s view of language is that it is a > probability distribution over strings of letter or sounds, one turns > one’s back on the scientific achievements of the ages and foreswears > the opportunity that computers offer to carry that enterprise > forward. > > Statistical approaches to the processing of unannotated text bring up > the thorny philosophical question of whether the necessary properties > of language are, in fact, emer-gent properties of text.

Lately with the extensive exchange about methods and tools from Humanist still reverberating in my brain, I picked up a copy of Ray Monk's biography of Wittgenstein and opened up to a passage about Turing and lectures on the foundation of mathematics. This passage caught my eye because I vaguely recall a thread on Humanist a few years back about the status of "experiment" in the work of Humanities Computing. [And thanks to a fine index I was able to relocate the passage when I got the volume home.] Here is what Monk writes (and which I believe has some relevance to the conduct of scholarship): Turing ws inclined to say that there could be experiments in mathematics -- that is, that we could pursue a mathematical investigation in the same spirit in which we might conduct an experiment in physics: "We don't know how this might turn out, but let's see ... " To Wittgenstein, this was quite impossible, the whole analogy between mathematics and physics was completely mistaken, and one of the most important sources of the confusions he was trying to unravel. But how was he to make this clear without opposing Turning's view with a view of his own? he had to (a) get Turing to admit that they're both using the word 'experiment' in the same sense; and (b) get him to see that, in that sense, mathematicians do not make experiments. [Monk quotes Wittgenstein] Turing thinks that he and I are using the word 'experiment' in two different ways. but I want to show that this is wrong. That is to say, I think that if I could make myself clear, then Turing would give up saying that in mathematics we make experiments. If I could arrange in their proper order certain well-known facts, then it would become clear that Turing and I are not using the word 'experiment' differently. You might say: 'How is it possible that there should be a misunderstanding so very hared to remove? It can be explained partly by a difference of education. [Monk resumes his narration]. It might also be explained by the fact that Turing refused to leave his mathematician's paradise [...] There is more but all that I want to underscore for the present is the metadiscursive challenge to arriving at agreement on the concept of "experiment". -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 53D1C7C64; Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:43:12 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A09E27C5F; Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:43:11 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 55F487C5D; Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:43:09 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160811054309.55F487C5D@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 07:43:09 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.252 always under construction 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: <20160811054312.4509.25978@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 252.

Here's another worthy observation from Marc Flandreau's reminiscence "Time on the Cross: How and Why Not to Choose Between Economics and History", from which I quoted a few days ago: > After years trying to strike a balance between economics and history > - a balance that could in turn be called economic history - I have > come to the conclusion that the essence of economic history is not > about the appropriate proportion, the optimal dose which each part > should have in the final product.

Ian CURATION AND RESEARCH USE OF THE PAST WEB Lisbon 29-30 March 2017 Web archiving efforts have now been underway for over twenty years, generating an expanding core of data crucial for present and future explorations of human political, cultural, economic and social activity since the mid 1990s. Practices around both the creation and use of web archives are rapidly evolving. What technical, ethical, and institutional approaches are necessary to advance use of web archives for scholarship and other use cases? How are researchers using the archived web right now, and in which new directions is that research heading? What innovations, collaborations, and adaptations are necessary to sustain the efficacy of web archiving? The 2017 Web Archiving Conference (WAC), held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC), aims to bring together practitioners, librarians, archivists, historians, humanists, computer scientists, and other parties interested in expanding and harnessing the potential of preserved web heritage. We welcome proposals on a broad range of topics, including from the following examples: USING WEB ARCHIVES * Research using web archives * Tools and approaches * Initiatives, platforms, and collaborations * User-driven curation * Ethical and compliant research use * Interdisciplinary collaboration CREATING WEB ARCHIVES * Harvesting, preservation, and/or access * Collection development * Legal and ethical concerns * Programmatic organization and management * New/updated tools for any part of the lifecycle * Application programming interfaces (APIs) * Current and future landscape Proposals may be submitted for any of the following formats: * Individual presentation for a 30-minute session (i.e., 20 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for questions); * Moderated discussion or multi-presentation panel for a 60-minute session; * Moderated discussion or multi-presentation panel for a 90-minute session; or * Poster with accompanying lightning talk. Time will additionally be reserved in the schedule for the proposal of lightning talks much closer to the event to allow for more timely sharing of recent updates. Please submit your proposals using this form . For questions, please e-mail wac17@iipc.simplelists.com . The deadline for submissions is 20 October 2016. All submissions will be reviewed by the WAC17 Programme Committee http://netpreserve.org/general-assembly/2017/programme-committee and submitters will be notified by 1 December 2016.

Previous workshops have focused on the intersections of text and media, on UX design, on multiscale data-driven models, and mathematical analyses of cultural expressive forms. Studies have been drawn from information sciences, mathematics, history, linguistics, literary studies, and folklore studies. Those studies have focused on semantic analyses of socio-textual domains, used models to reveal how texts reflect and refract larger socio-cultural formations, and tracked cultural dynamics over time and space using data drawn from novels and other digitized historical texts, the web and social media, Instagram and other non-textual archives among others. For this workshop, the organizers invite proposals for papers on any topic that features culture as a transactional form of human behavior that can be modeled and analyzed using algorithmic approaches.

Wisnicki" Subject: Livingstone Online, new version, first edition In-Reply-To: <1697534686.12082038.1470874329299.JavaMail.yahoo@mail.yahoo.com> Colleagues, See below for my announcement about the new Livingstone Online. Best, Adrian S. Wisnicki Assistant Professor, Department of English Faculty Fellow, Center for Digital Research in the Humanities University of Nebraska-Lincoln ----- The New Livingstone Online The first edition of the new version of Livingstone Online (University of Maryland Libraries, 2016; http://livingstoneonline.org/) has now been published. Livingstone Online is a digital museum and library that enables users to encounter the written and visual legacy of famous Victorian explorer David Livingstone (1813-1873). The site challenges reigning iconic representations of Livingstone by restoring one of the British Empire's most important figures to the many global contexts in which he worked, traveled, and is remembered. Highlights of the new site include: -- A dynamic, redesigned interface that combines images, critical essays, and extensive documentation to bring Livingstone's work to life for modern audiences and to take users far behind the scenes of our digital humanities research; -- Access, including download access, to over 7,500 manuscript and contextual images, 3000 metadata records, and 500 transcriptions. Our digital collection is one of the largest such collections on the internet dedicated to any historical British traveler to Africa; -- Multiple search and browse options for encountering our digital collection, including a fully redeveloped Browse by Digital Catalogue page, a new Browse by Timeline page, and our Browse by Addressee and Browse by Repository pages; -- Essays that for the first time set out the theory behind Livingstone Online, the principles by which we designed the site, and the guiding elements of our mission as a digital museum and library; -- And much more The new Livingstone Online is the most recent outcome of a 12+ year initiative that brings together an international, interdisciplinary team of specialists with forty contributing archives and repositories, including the National Library of Scotland, the David Livingstone Centre, the Royal Geographical Society, and SOAS, University of London. LEAP (the Livingstone Online Enrichment and Access Project), the most recent development phase, has been made possible thanks to generous funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and University of Nebraska-Lincoln. To learn more about the site, please contact project director Adrian S. Wisnicki (awisnicki@yahoo.com), English Department, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. _______________________________________________ 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 5486E7D09; Fri, 12 Aug 2016 10:01:44 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 802B77D03; Fri, 12 Aug 2016 10:01:43 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id EA84D7B26; Fri, 12 Aug 2016 10:01:40 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160812080140.EA84D7B26@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2016 10:01:40 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.255 methodological pluralism and choice 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: <20160812080144.25187.77@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 255.

I did not include enough context in my email and this made it ambiguous. ;-) Although you can store complete text in a database my email was about structured data and database information systems, not text/narratives. For example, field / value pairs “Author = Gustave Flaubert”, type stuff. The subject of narrative is another email. Of course text more naturally conveys context but can still be very ambiguous – like my original email! Take Flaubert himself, someone who tried to use the ‘universality’ of reality and was constantly fearful of being misinterpreted by his audience. This use of reality as a basis for universally understood concepts, is relevant to structured data. Andrew pointed out two things – meaning and interpretation. Traditional database systems are detached from the real world and are artificial constructs (e.g. Entity-Relationship models). Typically when we record knowledge as data in a database we generally do so without being able to communicate the context and relationship of the data with the real world. As such the data derived from knowledge that would normally be contextualised now loses this context in an artificial environment. If you look at the underlying tables and fields of most databases then you will be hard pressed to understand them. The semantics become implicit and therefore the data ambiguous. The programmer, hopefully in collaboration with the producer of the data, tries to add the semantics back in the application in a separate process. Often the programmer never fully achieves this and meaning is filled in by the people who use the database and their local knowledge (they fill in the gaps based on local knowledge, training, word of mouth, etc.). These institutional or local systems have often been called data silos. However, these silos (the data not the applications) are transported to open environments and called open data. The absence of explicit context might make them *feel* neutral of meaning. Shannon’s theory of mathematical communication talks about how data is encoded, transported and decoded between a sender and a receiver. He saw it as an engineering problem, not an issue of meaning. The issue of how meaning and knowledge is derived was not considered. This has been called (see Denning & Bell) the information paradox. Shannon didn’t consider that in a complex information age different people may attach different meaning to the same information and that the referents may be ambiguous. You are right, meaning and knowledge is generated by people, but they require at least to know what is being communicated unambiguously. I might refer you to the article, “Why Linked Data is not enough for Scientists” – the answer being that a research objects must come with context. How can you build knowledge (community scholarship) if you don’t know the context of the knowledge that you are building on? A basic example. I enter information into a database about a cultural object, a painting, and my data will be recorded. I may have a database that asks me to enter the subjects for paintings. The field label may say “Painting Subject:” and I type in “Charles I” (it might be worth saying that this is based on real examples and typical). What do I mean? Do I mean that Charles I is depicted as a subject in the painting, or do I mean that there is some other visual identifier for Charles I (perhaps an inscription), or do I mean that there is conceptual reference to the King. But more importantly than this, even if I had some fields that said Object Subject Visual: or Object Subject Conceptual, the computer itself still has no understanding of what these mean and they are still ambiguous and locally contrived – made up labels that have no meaning to most people or computers. The programmer creates the code and must represent my data as information in a user interface. Let’s say that there is a local convention that if you use this field then you mean that there is a conceptual reference and this is communicated to the programmer who represents the data accordingly. I now export the raw data onto the Internet for an aggregator (perhaps a research project – this is also common) to use. They don’t have the same local knowledge as the institutional programmer (the field label has no clear meaning) and it is common for information to be misinterpreted and presented differently. I can provide examples. This is made worse because often unifying models do not match local models and therefore data is placed inappropriately into fields that do not have the same implicit meaning. If the information producer, the data expert, had the opportunity to embed the contextual semantics into the data instead of the local programmer putting it into the code, then the external application producer may not make this mistake. If, for example, the data producer was able to input to a knowledge representation pattern that provided the explicit semantic framework for the data which made it clear that this was not a depiction or part of an inscription, but that the painting refers to Charles I conceptually (i.e. the reference is known to the curator because of research they have done but is not obvious to anyone looking at the picture), the external aggregator will at least have the opportunity to represent it with its original context – the reason it was recorded in the first place. If not then we can transparently see the error when we go underneath the application particularly because knowledge representation patterns can be read by both humans and computers. Also by not putting it in the code the application can now be much more flexible. However, and importantly, if the context is provided such that computer can also understand it, i.e., using something more universal, like reality, then the computer can start doing more sophisticated things without being completely dependent on humans. What I mean by this is not artificial intelligence but simply the opportunity of using computer reasoning across the data and inferring things – like relationship that we easily miss – and working more effectively with the scholar beyond simple efficiency. It also opens up the possibility of more sophisticated tools that support different inter-disciplinary approaches. So there are two things here. One is the use of contextual semantics so that you know unambiguously what is being stated (research objects need context) and then there is the issue of interpretation. Now that you can look at the data (independently of any local application) and see exactly what is being stated you may disagree and say that the painting does not conceptually refer to Charles I. Your email implies that I should not even put forward this proposition at all and that you do not want the imposition of my belief. Your implication is that you want the painting itself (or perhaps an image of it) so that you can make up your own mind about what and who the painting refers to. Many people visit museums and galleries and don’t look at the label – that’s fine. However, I would suggest that this belief is useful for a whole range of different audiences – including academics - and more useful because you have the full context for it. You can still, after reading it and understanding what it means, assert your own belief about it – hopefully with contextual semantics so we are clear about what you mean. Isn’t this part of scholarship? I think Flaubert might have liked this. :-) Here is a current example. I am currently working on a project about Hokusai. It takes primary and secondary sources to look at the influences on Hokusai’s work. The model uses a universal framework of semantics based on reality (precisely and scientifically defined). This is important because when we record data the context must be universally understood and scientifically correct. This is important to the scholars working on it, and would be the case if we were writing a narrative. Why shouldn’t a database, like a narrative, contain context? Therefore we model the reality of Hokusai’s work and the events and influences on it in a way that we can use computers to help identify relationships that would be more difficult for us to uncover. One model deals with process of commissioning the design from Hokusai, the design itself, the subsequent carving of the woodblocks, the transformation of the woodblock as it deteriorates as it is scraped between print runs, and the varying impressions that are created from different states of the woodblock and with different emphasis and colours applied by the printer. Once we have this then we can juxtapose models of other related temporal events and things that might have influenced Hokusai’s designs. The whole knowledge graph can live independently of software (note digital preservation) but could be implemented with different tools, some of which may be built by others with different research questions but who can add to the knowledge graph and build knowledge – not silos. As part of the work we have developed a simple/sophisticated tool that allows researchers to generate databases and the associated input tools (no programming) that can represent any knowledge pattern that a researcher requires specifically to support their research question. The use of a universal framework means that all of these custom databases, created independently and without reference to any other project, :-) , whatever their subject, could be integrated together and the relationships between data from different projects with different knowledge patterns can then also be investigated. My apologies again. Although you might not agree with this I hope the fuller explanation helps.

K. Inquiry into the Iraq conflict, commissioned by Prime Minister Gordon Brown in 2009 and headed by Sir John Chilcot. Hence the Chilcot Report, as it is popularly known. Over 150,000 documents were considered in the writing of the 12-volume, 2.6 million-word opus magnum. Wikipedia has a page on it. Googling for it will turn up various statements indicating the depths of moral corruption "at the highest level", as we say here. The entire thing can be downloaded from http://www.iraqinquiry.org.uk/the-report/. Comedian Nish Kumar has asked, "What can a satirist do with our post-truth politics?" He, his colleagues and a number of volunteers have responded by a public reading of the whole Report at the Edinburgh Festival, in an event called Iraq Out and Loud, for which see https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2016/aug/09/comedians-begin-edinburgh-recital-of-chilcot-report-iraq-out-and-loud Our lot is not as given to humour -- at least I am not, alas -- but the download does offer a great opportunity for text-analysis. When I began teaching text-analysis at King's, in 1997, I could do no better than government documents, newspaper articles and scientific reports on the scandal over BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, a.k.a. "Mad Cow Disease"), the transcripts of O. J. Simpson's civil trial, and that great American hippie classic, Monday Night Class. This book, transcribing the secular sermons of Stephen Gaskin, led to many a lexicographic study of his late 1960s' vocabulary, which greatly amused and bemused my students. It is still highly to be recommended and, like O.J.'s contribution, is perfect for the simple techniques of concordancing. But meanwhile progress has delivered to us a corpus ever so much more worthy of attention from the tools of distant reading. For the generously funded team of collaborators I'd propose a political scientist, an historian, a psychoanalyst, a philologist and a poet as well as one of our kind.

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.

The article builds on 2014 The Medieval Globe article by Monica Green, Kathleen Walker-Meikle, and Wolfgang P. Müller on the modern misdiagnosis of the medieval Omne Bonum leprosy miniature as a plague image, and outlines the work that Richard and I did to try to 'undo' the internet spread of this misdiagnosis and that of two other medieval images erroneously labelled as the plague. The link to the online article is here: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/laninf/article/PIIS1473-3099(16)30119-0/fulltext I have also created and uploaded an 'unofficial' version of the article on my academia.edu site for public download: (https://uottawa.academia.edu/LoriJones) Enjoy!

The design is admittedly gorgeous and is easy to use. The use of balanced colour and harmonious spacing of elements, the minimisation of controls and clean functionality are things we don't often see. But what struck me first was "where are the texts?" The Design of Livingstone Online promises that I will be able to "drill down to" ... "digital editions of original Livingstone manuscripts". I duly drilled, but all I found was rock, not oil. There are many images of manuscripts, sure, and transcriptions you can download, though what we are to do with them is not clear. It took a colleague to point out that there was at least one text containing both a transcription and its corresponding image. The search works across the transcribed content, but browsing it seems very difficult. The impression is thus of a collection of closed digital resources, where the needs of the librarian take precedence over those of the scholar. How can I interact with the *content*? There was a similar effect noticeable in the Darwin Letters site (Humanist 29.708) - a predisposition for presenting images and secondary material over the primary sources. I think the latter should form the core of a digital knowledge site, which I would class this as. I would even venture to suggest that the cause in both cases is "resistance in the medium". It's hard to present manuscript texts well online, as well as very expensive. It's much easier to go with the flow and present peripheral material using standard Web technologies to which it is well suited. Are we thus headed toward a future where digital online editions of authors have no texts?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2016 16:14:24 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: precision and accuracy Picking up on the distinction between 'precision' and 'accuracy' that we were discussing, most helpful so far is the brief note in M. Norton Wise, ed., The Values of Precision (Princeton, 1995), a volume developed from a workshop held in 1991-92: > A distinction between precision and accuracy has become common in the > twentieth century and at every session of our workshop the question > arose of when this distinction emerged and what its significance was. > We reached no consensus. (p. 7) But he goes on to suggest one common version: a rifle fixed to a rigid support is precise if when fired it consistently yields a tightly grouped set of holes in the target; if these holes are at the centre of the target rather than some distance away, then it is also accurate. Unfortunately for my purposes Wise's collection does not carry precision's values to the present day. He points to Donald Mackenzie's Inventing Accuracy: A Historical Sociology of Nuclear Missile Guidance (MIT Press, 1990), which indeed brings it closer but does not deal directly with the influence of computing. Nevertheless it does suggest how the publicity surrounding development of nuclear missile guidance brought the question of technological precision home, quite literally. Mackenzie begins the book thus: > Look out the window of the room in which you are now sitting. Focus > on a tree or a building about a hundred yards or meters away. Imagine > a circle with your room at its center and that object on its edge. > That circle defines the accuracy of the most modern U.S. strategic > missiles. Fired from a silo or a submarine on the other side of the > earth... an MX or Trident II missile is designed to deposit its > nuclear warheads within a little more than that circle. (p. 1) In "Electronic Methods of Computation" (American Academy of Arts and Sciences, 11 Feb 1948), John von Neumann notes that in comparison to the analogue computer (then a competitor for attention) "Digital machines can... be made more precise, and are easier to organize logically" -- important reasons why they won out, and eventually made it possible to fall within that circle. Given the destructive power involved, precision to such a degree is well over the top, and that suggests far more is involved than getting the job done. Comments?

Please consider submitting. COMPUTER is broadly defined as any computational device, whether smartphone or abacus, and any form of information technology, including the origins of concepts of interactive text that may predate computational devices as traditionally conceived. CULTURE is rooted in the concept of cultural meaning. We ask not just operational questions such as, "How do people communicate using computers?" but questions of meaning such as, "What does it mean when people communicate using computers instead of using pre-computer approaches to communication?" Along these lines, we are interested in communication as well as creative practices/applications and how computer technologies shape them. "Computer Culture" can be understood in a variety of ways: · the culture of the computer, that is, as computers interact with each other, what culture do they have of their own? · the culture around the computer, that is, (sub)cultures associated with · the production, maintenance, use, and destruction of computers · the culture through the computer, that is, explicit treatment of how computer mediation influences cultural phenomena that exist or have existed in forms that did not involve computer mediation, and what these influences mean · the culture by the computer, that is, the ways in which new (sub)cultures or (sub)cultural phenomena have arisen because of computers and understandings of these given awareness of the nature and/or workings of computers Example questions associated with Computer Culture would include, but not be limited to: · What implications are there because of the powerfulness of (computer/information) technology; and are these implications beneficial, detrimental, inevitable, or avoidable? · What are the cultural origins of computers, computer/information technologies, and practices associated with them? What is the descriptive and prescriptive outlook for the conditions of those cultural forces associated with those cultural origins? · How do cultural forces (such as changes from one generation to the next, trends in education or society, or other cultural phenomena) impact (and how are they impacted by) computer/information technologies/market-forces, and what do these impacts (in either direction or both) mean? Paper topics might include (but are not limited to) those that address: · issues of (re)presentation through computers (website analysis and design); · methods of discourse involving computers (blogging, Twitter, social networks, YouTube, viral video, live feeds); · theories focused on the relationship between computers and culture, uses of computers in particular contexts and the impacts thereof (such as computers and pedagogy, online dating, virtual currencies, commerce, marketing, entertainment, etc.); · the relationship between computers and social forces (such as journalism, community engagement, social change, politics, social media alternatives, etc.); · security/privacy/fraud/surveillance and computers (such as security breaches, spam, scams, hoaxes, terrorism, etc.); · creative practice, web art, generative and digital art, virtual performance; · the self, the “second self,” identity formation/negotiation, anonymity; · “cyberkids,” internet youth cultures; · data visualization and digital geographies; · hashtag thinking, data organization and archives, search predictions/autocomplete functions; · cultural markers (such as social media trends, memes, internet fame); · digital divides (such as internet inclusion/exclusion, user diversity, interface/software architectures, etc.); · the general mediascape (such as issues of governance, mediation, ownership, the ‘public sphere’, crowdsourcing, etc.) While we will consider any relevant paper, we have a preference for those that involve transferable methodological approaches. This is an interdisciplinary conference, and other conference attendees would benefit from being able to adapt your research methods to their future research. Scholars, teachers, professionals, artists, and others interested in computer culture are encouraged to participate. Graduate students are also particularly welcome, with award opportunities for the best graduate papers. More information about awards can be found at http://southwestpca.org/conference/graduate-student-awards/ http://southwestpca.org/conference/graduate-student-awards/ Specifically, we would like to highlight the following award opportunities: The "Computer Culture and Game Studies Award" The "Heldrich-Dvorak Travel Fellowships" Given how papers may often fall into multiple categories, there may be other award opportunities listed at http://southwestpca.org/conference/graduate-student-awards/ http://southwestpca.org/conference/graduate-student-awards/ which would be appropriate for your paper. (However, each presenter may only apply for one – not including the Travel Fellowships, which can be in addition.) For consideration, submit 100-200 word abstracts and proposals for panels by Tuesday, November 1, 2016 to the conference’s electronic submission system, which can be found at: http://conference2016.southwestpca.org/ http://conference2017.southwestpca.org/ If you wish to propose forming your own panel, we would be glad to help facilitate your needs. This conference is a presentation opportunity.

I expect we agree on much of this, but once more to the breach. Of course meaning is always embedded in metadata. I was responding rather to the idea (not necessarily your idea) that digital tools would be better and cheaper if they were "knowledge-led' by subject experts in the humanities. I was responding about embedding meaning into the *tools* used to explore the data, rather than the data itself, which always has meaning. As a Visual Resources Curator in art history, I work with metadata all the time (and I study it, too). I was responding to this statement from your first email: "...this might change the way that tools were built - they would be 'knowledge-led'. This might open up what would be possible and the data would itself would be a research object independent of any software implementation, supporting the preservation of digitally recorded knowledge. It would also be cheaper (in terms of software development) and more sustainable! While I don't want to define you by this short email post, I (mostly) disagreed with this isolated statement and therefore responded (though again, I agree data should be platform-independent). I don't want to be too dogmatic about it, but sometimes scholars complain about tools not because the tools themselves cannot meet the needs of their research, but rather because they are not skilled with them and may not even understand the reasons why certain design decisions were made during a tool's development (sometimes due to funding and time limitations). How long does it take to learn the possibilities inherent in a complicated set of tools? Not six months, certainly. You might be interested in this semantic browser I built based on a British Library online exhibition - an /implementation/ of the LOC's Simile-Exhibit-derived Viewshare tool, dense with meaning but not interpretation. I also blogged about refining the ~15-yr-old metadata to have it work for the Viewshare platform, and the shortcomings of that tool. This rich scholar-generated metadata required a lot of reformatting and I myself added the spatial information field "Extent of view." I think you'll agree it makes the browsing experience more meaningful! The Unveiling of Britain [BLL2015] demonstration model http://www.renlyon.org/agrahamt/AndrewTaylor_BLLCompetition2015.html (note that you may have to refresh the browser for it to display correctly, a known issue with Viewshare projects) Blogpost: /Dynamic Explorer Interface for "The Unveiling of Britain" / For comparison, here's an earlier metadata project I did that is similar: American Furniture 1635-1900 http://viewshare.org/views/agrahamt/american-furniture-1635-1900-3/ I look forward to checking out your project, looks cool (Late Hokusai: Thought, Technique, Society) http://gtr.rcuk.ac.uk/projects?ref=AH/N00440X/1 Regards, Andrew Taylor > Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 10:40:18 +0100 > From: Dominic Oldman > Subject: Re: 30.231 methodological pluralism and choice > In-Reply-To:<20160806071824.24E5A7C16@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Apologies.

Any good cook knows how to dose salt in the right proportion to food by the way it feels in the hand. Take that dose, put it into a measuring spoon, and it may come up fractionally short or overfill the brim. When a cook creates a recipe to fit standard weights and measures, the measures themselves creep in to exert control over the cook's better instincts. Precision is lost.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2016 16:02:11 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: communicating across disciplines Here is a source of good questions for anyone who would get involved in facilitating or studying the reception of computing by any of the disciplines with which we usually deal. My example refers to history, social history in particular, but for this purpose it doesn't really matter which one most concerns you. It begins with Tony Judt's impassioned critique, "A Clown in Regal Purple: Social History and the Historians", History Workshop 7 (Spring 1979): 66-94. (The article is easy to find, in JSTOR.) Look specifically at section III, pp. 74-9, on the use of models in history. Taking what Judt says for granted, the first question is not what's wrong historiographically, since he makes that quite clear, but what about the use of models in relation to the modelled is responsible for the problems that he identifies. Another way of putting this is how would you argue -- convincingly, to a sceptical historian like Judt -- against walking away from models altogether. How much of the problem is due to the fact that he was writing nearly 40 years ago? (But how much has actually not changed substantially since then?) The second, and perhaps more important question concerns the dialogue between the digital and the humanities, some of which is represented in that article. So much of the roughness in the rough road of reception back then seems to have been due to people talking past each other -- or, less politely, not paying attention to what the other side was going on about. The aggressive triumphalism of the more militant of the modeller-quantifiers was what got Judt's back up, but I am not so sure that even today we listen keenly enough. It is quite a strange and enlightening experience to read the professional literature of digital humanities (e.g. Computers and the Humanities) alongside what the mainstream historians were saying. It's almost as if each side were speaking about different worlds. Comments?

The Bible and Culture Collective signed all their work collectively. On a much smaller scale, my collaborator and I, Prof. Carlin Barton have co-written a book about to appear around Labor Day, insha'Allah dealing with Latin and Greek words that ought not to be translated "religion." She wrote the Latin chapters and I the Greek chapters but we are signed together as co-authors for the whole book​, since, as is the case for the Empire of Chance we have discussed each point until we both are satisfied and the book makes one comprehensive argument. thanks for this discussion db Jedenfalls aber ist unsere philologische Heimat die Erde; die Nation kann es nicht mehr sein.

The first quote very much describes (part of) the problem, the second describes the idyll or ideal. Increasingly the research landscape is getting organised in large collaborations, but, especially in appraisals of work and/or career progression, (indistinct) roles in collaborations are not recognised or simply not valued in a similar way to individual contributions. More often than not, little bits of money are thrown towards collaborations on institutional levels. But, real collaborations take time and lots of (intellectual and logistical) effort to establish. Many require a level of competence and capacity building or specialist training to create a basis for collaborative productivity. I've raised this point several times, typically at appraisal stages, where the emphasis is invariably on individual achievements, even working for an inter-university research consortium working towards establishing interdisciplinary fields. It is simply not recognised that especially new collaborative projects take disproportional amounts of time to set-up (the idea, the players: managers and workers, the skills, the facilities, the administration). This is exacerbated when the collaborative fields are explored according to top-down directives. The same top-down directives suggest all substantial academics time input must be taken up by individual output pursuits (teaching and research). I think this applies whether collaborations are being established or being executed. Your quotes refer more to the latter. So, assuming all the aforementioned hurdles are overcome, then there is the issue of how attractive (in terms of appraisal, rewards, and their progressive value) it is to contribute essential but possibly small and specialised parts to a project or dissemination in return for a difficult to recognise bit of credit. I acknowledge there are exceptions: collaborations that spontaneously emerged and worked smoothly from the outset with appropriate levels of support. Yet, I think it is true to some extent that in the sciences at least the concept of teamwork and its merits is much more widely recognised. This is disregarding any issues to do with crediting contributions. However, in the humanities and some social sciences, teamwork is simply not part of the frame of mind. In workload models there is never time that individual academics can dedicate to collaborative projects as the research time is taken up by pre-allocations towards individualistic goals. Here I'm saying simply: it is not enough for institutions to allocate some seed funding for ideas, we badly need proportionate time allocations to shape the teams and deliver proof of concept (not even immediately producing the highly rated outputs that are sought). In the same way it is badly needed that the inherent risks of collaboration (after all, it's riskier than asking a humanities scholar to apply their established skills on a new bit of work) is embraced, to harness the greater (more qualitative) rewards it promises. Risks can be reduced with appropriate support and proper recognition of input. I personally think it is OK to both acknowledge that one's contribution to a project may have been limited and specialised, as well as simply stating that ALL of the project outcomes do depend to different degrees on ALL project members making their contributions. Therefore, the value added could and perhaps should be regarded as equivalent among contributors to outputs. I'm sure I'm saying little that is new or not contemplated on by many of us, but I don't have concrete ways in which I believe the 'systems' would accept the improvements required. My perception of archaeology, which in its practical guise is invariably a team effort, is that projects and output typically are hierarchically credited, so quite likely still not the ideal. Furthermore, larger projects are often divided into more or less individual subprojects, retaining all the same questions about value added and contributions. But, at the least, there is an established culture of collaboration. Then again, run at university/research level, archaeological practice is becoming a rarity it seems and humanities funding is rarely to the level that a true team could be hired to do a bit of work. And this last thing is a limitation I experience even in DH work, where all one requires might be a particular combination of humanities input and specialist technical skills. The way funding works, there's usually only room for both on the largest grants, hence such collaborative coherence also being relatively rare.

Nothing to excuse! Our project is an intervention into critical discourse (http://livingstoneonline.org/about-site/theory-behind-livingstone-online) and invites debate about our DH praxis and its subject matter (imperialism, Livingstone, etc.). In particular, we welcome constructive feedback that will help us improve the site. > The design is admittedly gorgeous and is easy to use. The > use of balanced colour and harmonious spacing of elements, the minimisation > of controls and clean functionality are things we don't often see. Thank you. We’ve given considerable care to every aspect of our site, including this one (for more on this aspect, see http://livingstoneonline.org/about-site/design-livingstone-online). > But what > struck me first was "where are the texts?"

It took a colleague to point out that there was at least one text > containing both a transcription and its corresponding image. I think our definition of texts differs. In reading your email, I’m actually not clear on what your definition of a text is, as it seems not to include either (critically-curated) images of original manuscripts, or critically-edited (and encoded) "transcriptions you can download," or historical and contemporary illustrative images, or critical essays, or documentary methodological materials – all of which we (implicitly) define as texts and publish in abundance. To give one example, you can reach circa 7,500 manuscript images (comprising 1,100 distinct items), 500 transcriptions (so nearly half of the 1,100 distinct items), and 3000 metadata records from either the “Browse Collection” button that appears in the upper right-hand corner of each page (desktop version) or top center (mobile), or by navigating to the “In His Own Words” section of the site (http://livingstoneonline.org/in-his-own-words), which is again accessible via a prominent colored tab from each page of the site. Where did you drill and what kinds of texts, exactly, were you looking for? As to what to do with the manuscript images or transcriptions, for starters READ THEM by Jove! Or engage in advanced DH processing with any segment of the considerable amount of primary and secondary data available for download and independent study from our site. Or print up the PDFs of our transcriptions, make them into a booklet, and distribute them to students. Or encourage your students to build their own websites while using the many, many images openly licensed and freely available from our site. > The search > works across the transcribed content, but browsing it seems very difficult. Actually, the Browse by Digital Catalogue page (http://livingstoneonline.org/islandora/search), the main gateways to our digital collection, offers three search options (first dropdown, left-hand side): search by catalogue, by transcriptions, or both by catalogue and transcriptions. In terms of the browsing, I think we offer excellent options: users can browse by Repository, Timeline, Addressee, or Digital Catalogue, the latter of which itself allows users to sort by a variety of subcategories via dropdowns and, additionally, by column headings. I'd argue that this is an exemplary range of browsing options: http://livingstoneonline.org/in-his-own-words > The impression is thus of a collection of closed digital resources, where > the needs of the librarian take precedence over those of the scholar. Our site caters to multiple audiences, and we don’t necessarily prioritize any of them (http://livingstoneonline.org/about-site/who-livingstone-onlines-audience). There’s nothing closed about our collection; indeed transparency is deeply rooted in our project ethos (http://livingstoneonline.org/behind-scenes/livingstone-online-code). All our core digital data is available for download and independent study and processing. All the data is built to international archival standards and the construction is fully recorded (http://livingstoneonline.org/behind-scenes/practices-standards-and-arrangements). We make project documentation available in exhaustive detail in an attempt to open all our methodology to critical review (http://livingstoneonline.org/resources/livingstone-online-project-documents). Finally, we’ve gone out of our way to secure Creative Commons licenses for as much core data as possible, so that it can be reused in a wide range of contexts, such as by your students (http://livingstoneonline.org/behind-scenes/credits-and-permissions). > How > can I interact with the *content*?

We’re not the Darwin Letters site. We're Livingstone Online and our goal, as the site's subtitle suggests, is to illuminate imperial exploration. Part of our critical intervention is an attempt to approach and represent a visual and written colonial legacy in a new (culturally sensitive) way, and I wonder if the fact that our site does not meet *your* expectations for what our project should be doing is part of the problem here. > I think the latter should form the core of a > digital knowledge site, which I would class this as. You're certainly welcome to characterize (or "class") our site however you like, but it's also fair to say that imposing a characterization and using it in a prescriptive manner might necessarily come into conflict with what a site like ours is attempting to do or how we ourselves characterize our work. For instance, note how both the announcement below and our introductory page (http://livingstoneonline.org/about-site/livingstone-online-introduction) begin: "Livingstone Online is a digital museum and library that allows users to encounter the written and visual legacy of famous Victorian explorer David Livingstone (1813-73)." > I would even venture > to suggest that the cause in both cases is "resistance in the medium". It's > hard to present manuscript texts well online, as well as very expensive. I must admit that I disagree with you on the point of presenting texts well online and, indeed, I think our manuscript viewer does a fine job of it. I encourage you (and everyone) to visit our Browse by Digital Catalogue page (http://livingstoneonline.org/islandora/search), choose a text, and decide for yourself. > It's much easier to go with the flow and present peripheral material using > standard Web technologies to which it is well suited. Well, this is also a matter of debate. In my opinion, good scholarship doesn't go with the flow but rather strikes out in new directions and does so even despite of what might otherwise seem like significant challenges. > Are we thus headed > toward a future where digital online editions of authors have no texts? As noted, it’s not clear to me what constitutes a text for you, and I’m rather reluctant to get into a debate about that. Perhaps you could rather indicate to me (and describe) a few examples *from your own DH work* that succeed in some of the ways you suggest above that Livingstone Online does not? Alternately, if you have constructive suggestions about how we might feasibly modify and improve the site, please send them as a list to me, and my team and I will review them and, potentially, implement them. Indeed, I'd very much appreciate it (and see it as a reciprocal courtesy), given that I've now devoted considerable time and space to addressing your points. Adrian S.

It has allayed some of my concerns about the site but not all. In particular I still question your response to my criticism that the site is too metadata-oriented and lacks sufficient online tools to explore the texts: I wonder if the fact that our site does not meet *your* expectations for > what our project should be doing is part of the problem here. This suggests to me that you are unwilling to listen to users like myself. After all, I could turn your statement around and suggest that you are only one person also. You naturally think of yourself as a potential user of the site. The problem with our own opinions is that they lack plurality. As experienced users and specialists we probably have a better than average idea of what the site should do but we can't realistically proceed without constant feedback and adjustment from real users. Though I am but one person I know there are other experts who would say the same things about Livingstone online. But it's your site and do with it as you please. Another point where I think your defense falls short is here: As to what to do with the manuscript images or transcriptions, for > starters READ THEM by Jove! Or engage in advanced DH processing with any > segment of the considerable amount of primary and secondary data > available for download and independent study from our site. Or print up > the PDFs of our transcriptions, make them into a booklet, and distribute > them to students. Or encourage your students to build their own websites > while using the many, many images openly licensed and freely available > from our site. All of the things you list here are offline interactions. This is exactly my point. If you take a look at our unfinished Charles Harpur site (http://charles-harpur.org) we tried to model scholarly interactions with the text (compare, browse by content, ratings, and - not yet added - annotations). With Livingstone Online I get the feeling that the metadata at the whole document level is governing everything I do. As for the manuscript viewer you might like to compare the letter editor I'm building with a working prototype at http://charles-harpur.org/letter-editor/editor.html. I blogged about the problem here: http://digitalvariants.blogspot.com.au/2016/07/sync-scrolling-images-and-text-when_26.html The way you've done the scrolling is to align the text with the top of the image, but this doesn't work well for the bottom of the transcription. The most sensible way that meets user expectations is to align the text with the centre of the page image proportionally throughout the text, taking proper account of the two ends. I'm afraid I don't see the utility of downloadable transcriptions. Although the XML is interoperable at the XML level, at the tag level - where all the interesting information is located - it is opaque. I can only use it by reading the documentation of your encoding and then writing a program to understand it. That's quite an effort for the average user. Interaction with the text ought to be instant. You suggest the user should read the images of the documents or the transcriptions. Images of manuscripts are generally hard to read and online users mostly don't read, they browse. You need to provide other forms of interaction beyond the traditional interactions of the reader with the printed book, that is, true digital interactions. One thing you could add would be browsing by person. I am sure that the letters contain the names of many people. One of the strengths of Darwin Letters was its (over)exploration of this aspect. Another thing you might like to add is what we intend soon to add to Harpur, namely show in a map where was the author when he/she was writing all this material. This provides another route of access to the content beyond the timeline approach. I also think you should crop out the colour swatches from the page images. They do nothing for any of the classes of user you mention. I'm sorry I can't analyse your site in more detail and provide the kinds of suggestions that might improve it beyond the few general points made above. I simply don't have the time. The purpose of my original comment was to start a discussion on Humanist about the direction of modern digital scholarly editions, which seems to have failed utterly. I wish you the best in your further development of the site. I think that it is a great contribution to our understanding of how to build scholarly interactions with this kind of material. That is what digital humanists are often trying to achieve.

Starting in October 2016, the WWP will begin work on this collaborative research initiative that will examine the citation and quotation practices of the authors represented in Women Writers Online (WWO) to explore and theorize the representation of intertextuality. For this project, the WWP will assemble a team that includes faculty, graduate students, and members of the WWP staff, representing a diverse set of perspectives and expertise. Each member of the collaborative group will pursue a personal research project engaging with materials from WWO, to be published in Women Writers in Context (http://wwp.neu.edu/context/), the WWP¹s open-access publication series. Collaborators might develop research articles, short exhibits, visualizations, experimental encodings, and other explorations of intertextuality. We will also be developing interface tools for exploring intertextual connections and patterns. As part of this work, we will be undertaking a broad encoding of quotations and citations across the entire WWO collection, linking textual references to a comprehensive bibliography of sources, which we will make openly available at the WWO Lab (http://wwp.neu.edu/wwo/lab/). We will also make a deeper exploration of subtler kinds of intertextual reference (such as allusion and parody) in a subset of the collection, to reveal the many ways in which the textual space reverberates with echoes and referential gestures. This deeper exploration will be strongly informed by the research of our scholarly collaborators and the particular projects they undertake. For more details and to submit a proposal, see: http://wwp.neu.edu/research/projects/intertextuality/index.html Please circulate to interested colleagues!

September 2016 (siehe unten) Unsere Lebenswelt verändert sich ständig im Takt nur weniger Mausklicks. Es herrscht das Regiment von Schnelllebigkeit, Gleichzeitigkeit und Verhandelbarkeit. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Kommunikationstechnologien, globaler Vernetzung und dem moralischen „Anything Goes“ ist die eigene Verortung – auch selektiv und temporär – keine leichte Aufgabe. Daraus erwachsen Unsicherheiten, die zum Teil auch den Weg für äußerst starre Dogmen bahnen. TAKE UP YOUR SPACE ist ein Programm von elf Performances in KAI 10, die den Balanceakt alltäglicher Entscheidungen vergegenwärtigen und die Grenzen eigener und fremder Erwartungen ausloten. Dabei werden vorherrschende Mechanismen, wie die (vermeintliche) Trennung von Hoch- und Popkultur oder die Wirkweise von Gruppendynamiken dekonstruiert. Die installativen, theatralen, musikalischen und tänzerischen Aufführungen begeben sich in die Räume persönlicher Lebensgeschichte, suchen nach Selbstermächtigung und Mitteln der Begegnung mit der Umwelt. Bereits im Ausstellungstitel fordert das Projekt die Besucher dazu auf, sich selbst als Teilnehmer und Akteure in verschiedenen – realen, sozialen oder virtuellen – Räumen wahrzunehmen.

Performances at KAI 10 ELENA BAJO, FEIKO BECKERS, BERGERNISSEN, CHRISTIAN FALSNAES, VEZA FERNÁNDEZ, VLATKA HORVAT, WILLIAM HUNT, MAREN MAURER, CLAUDIA PAGÈS, PHILLIP SCHULZE and MÅRTEN SPÅNGBERG Individual Dates from September 1 to September 18, 2016 (see below) Our living environment is constantly changing to the beat of just a few mouse clicks. A fast-paced, simultaneous, and negotiating regiment runs the show. Within the context of current communication technologies, global connectivity, and an "anything goes" mentality, it is no simple task to find one´s own standpoint—even selective or temporary. This leads to insecurities, which can in part pave the way for extremely rigid dogmas. TAKE UP YOUR SPACE is a program of eleven performances at KAI 10, that seek to envision the balancing act between daily decisions and fathom the limits of one's own and other's expectations. The works deconstruct predominant mechanisms, such as the (presumed) separation of high and pop culture or the impact of group dynamics. The performances—having installative, theatrical, musical and dancing character—enter the space of personal life stories. They seek for self-empowerment and ways of encountering the environment. Through the title the project encourages visitors to experience themselves as participants and actors in the different—real, social, or virtual—spaces.

I don't much mind which words we use to make this with, but M Norton Wise's is good enough for me. Accuracy and precision are not symmetric. You can use accuracy to buy precision, but you can't use precision to buy accuracy. If your shots are always on target, and assuming the target doesn't move or change, then subsequent shorts will spread little: they will be precise. Working to keep subsequent shorts close together doesn't do anything to necessarily put your shorts on target. You can try for all the precision you want, but still be far off target. Paradoxically, if your aim is not good, to hit the target you need plenty of spread on your shorts, so that the chances of at least one of them hitting the target is higher. Poor aim is better rewarded using a shotgun: an imprecise kind of gun. With poor aim, a shotgun is more likely to be more accurate than a high precision rifle. If your aim is poor because you can't see the target well, with a shotgun you may hit the target but also hit other things too. Thus making it hard to determine what the target was and if you hit it. For a knowable desired outcome both accuracy and precision are needed: a well aimed high precision rifle shot. But notice, precision is a quality of the gun used, accuracy depends upon the aim of the gun user: it's a quality of the shooter, not of the gun. Digital computation can be made precise, but this does not, and cannot make any particular computation accurate. That depends upon the aim of the programmer(s). You can't use precision to buy accuracy. As far as accuracy is concerned, precision has no value. Rather, good precision adds value to accurate work: precision only has value in the presence of accuracy. Believing precision can buy accuracy, or acting as if it does, merely creates a cartoon economy. It's no way to do the real business. What does good accuracy look like in the Digital Humanities, that the precision of the digital computer can usefully add value to?

In its strongest form, rich semantics provides highly- structured direct representations. This workshop welcomes papers on new directions for frameworks using such rich information organization. Rich semantics goes beyond simple models for linked data, such as those using RDF-based triples, and beyond ad hoc ontologies. Rather, rich semantic frameworks may include complex entities, dynamic models, schemas, systems, and descriptive programs. Interdisciplinary work which combines approaches from areas such as LIS, linguistics, programming languages, philosophy, jurisprudence, sociology, discourse, and system analysis, and intelligent agents is particularly welcome. Examples of services based on these high-level structures are also welcome. In addition, the workshop will consider descriptions of rich semantic information organization in specific areas including biology, law, medicine, history, and biography. Work on upper ontologies should go beyond existing frameworks or show how they can be applied to especially complex scenarios. Work on text mining should emphasize significant, novel, and general semantic structures. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 505847D49; Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:39:35 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 68B932403; Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:39:34 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9971D7D26; Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:39:31 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160819073931.9971D7D26@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:39:31 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.276 'in a seemingly intuitive way'; close reading the datum 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: <20160819073934.18901.89300@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 276.

"Digital intuition: A computer program that can outplay humans in the abstract game of Go will redefine our relationship with machines", Nature 529 (28 January 2016): 437] Hi all, A just-published LRB has this to say about Machine Learning and how the algorithmic engine behind Alpha-Go (DNQ) works: "DeepMind, the London-based company behind AlphaGo, was acquired by Google in January 2014. The £400 million price tag seemed large at the time: the company was mainly famous for DQN, a program devised to play old Atari video games from the 1980s. Mastering Space Invaders might not seem, on the face of it, much to boast about compared to beating a champion Go player, but it is the approach DeepMind has taken to both problems that impressed Google. The conventional way of writing, say, a chess program has been to identify and encode the principles underpinning sound play. That isn't the way DeepMind's software works. DQN doesn't know how to repel an invasion. It doesn't know that the electronic signals it is processing depict aliens -- they are merely an array of pixels. DeepMind searches the game data for correlations, which it interprets as significant features. It then learns how those features are affected by the choices it makes and uses what it learns to make choices that will, ultimately, bring about a more desirable outcome. After just a few hours of training, the software is, if not unbeatable, then at least uncannily effective. The algorithm is almost completely generic: when presented with a different problem, that of manipulating the parameters controlling the cooling systems at one of Google's data centres with the aim of improving fuel efficiency, it was able to cut the electricity bill by up to 40 per cent." Taylor, P. (2016). The Concept of 'Cat Face'. /London Review of Books/, /38/(16), 30-32. Retrieved from http://www.lrb.co.uk/v38/n16/paul-taylor/the-concept-of-cat-face. Before I tried to express the view that, at their core, data-processing tools should ideally be generic, devoid of prejudice, preconceptions and meaning (unlike myself). In a perfect world, the data itself is should be assessed for meaning beforehand and afterwards, but the tool itself should have no preconceptions. The tool provides processing power, the scholar provides the cognition. If the tool design is too closely linked to (and designed by) the scholar, it undermines its impartiality and effectiveness in processing data. That's about as well as I can put it. I recently attended a SmartData Conference (http://smartdata2016.dataversity.net/), I am sure that accounts for the parallels between the DNQ algorithmic engine being "almost completely generic" and my thought that tools shouldn't be directed by subject-experts. Some of the concepts discussed were "Contextual Computing," Cognitive Computing," "Machine Learning" and AI.

Please help us to better understand the relationship between these two fields by taking the following survey (c'è anche la versione del sondaggio in italiano): https://bowdoincollege.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_2o6BuCYyQGTI0DP. Your responses will be entirely anonymous and the survey should only take 7-10 minutes. Results will be discussed at the panel "A Roundtable on the Current State of Digital Humanities in Italian Studies," which will take place at the annual MLA convention, to be held in Philadelphia from January 5-8, 2017. More information can be found at the MLA Commons site for the round table: https://dhis.commons.mla.org/2016/05/23/upcoming-roundtable-on-the-current-state-of-digital-humanities-in-italian-studies/ Sincerely, e con i più cordiali saluti, Crystal Hall and Gabriella Papper Crystal Hall Associate Professor of Digital Humanities Digital and Computational Studies Bowdoin College 9300 College Station Brunswick, ME 04011 chall@bowdoin.edu _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 2EB867D58; Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:41:10 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 652D17D0A; Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:41:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 400BE7D49; Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:41:01 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160819074101.400BE7D49@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2016 09:41:01 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.278 events: palaeography 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: <20160819074109.19513.26628@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 278.

Dear all, The Models of Authority team are delighted to announce that the sixth DigiPal Symposium will take place at King's College London on Monday 5th September 2016. Topics covered will include digital connoisseurship and strategies for curation; building apps for medieval manuscripts; a new device to use x-ray technology to search for medieval fragments in bookbindings; tools for text-allignment; strategies for outreach when teaching medieval history; visualisations to identify the textual transmission of medieval works; and sustainability in research which uses digital methods. And in case that isn't enough, there'll be tales of digitisation; breaking news on the latest plans to extend the DigiPal framework; and a glimpse of a new tool for plotting a timeline for Scottish charters (or indeed things neither Scottish, nor a charter). For a list of confirmed speakers, please visit: http://www.modelsofauthority.ac.uk/blog/digipal-vi/ Or just jump straight in and book here: https://digipal-vi.eventbrite.com/ The Symposium will run from 9.30am-7.15pm, with refreshments and lunch included. There's no charge for registration, but if you'd like to attend then please do register or you'll miss out on your chance for a free lunch.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2016 10:01:14 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: distant reading [This is intended as a promisory note toward a response complementing (and complimenting) Michael Hancher's "Re: Search and Close Reading", a link to which he thoughtfully provided in Humanist 30.276. Read it tonight, if you haven't already.] In 1967 Cameron R. Peterson and Lee Roy Beach coined the phrase they used as the title of an article in Psychological Bulletin 68.1: "Man as an intuitive statistician". Short of Laplacean intelligence "which could comprehend all the forces of which nature is animated and the respective situation of the beings who compose it", they wrote (quoting Laplace from Neumann's The World of Mathematics), "man must cope with an environment about which he has only fallible information". Then, quoting Egon Brunswick, they commented that "while God may not gamble, animals and humans do". "And man gambles well", they added. "He survives and prospers while using the fallible information to infer the states of his uncertain environment and to predict future events." Hence their "intuitive statistician". We could say, then, that the explicitly mathematical statistician gives us tools for modelling what we are already doing. Permit me to extend the thought a bit. Northrop Frye used to say that reading in a deep sense begins once you have read through a book the first time and so have all of it in your head. Greg Dening argued, in "A Poetic for Histories" (in Performances, Chicago 1996), for history as "a generic form of consciousness in which the past experience of oneself or of others in an environment outside oneself is transformed into symbols that are exchanged". For my purposes here the most telling form is > the story told at the family dinner table, no doubt repeated a > thousand times, leached in the telling to its essence, creating > laughter and tears in the hearers in its almost coded phrases. What > it loses in accuracy it gains in truth. Its truth concerns the bonds > of familiarity. And so we find our way to memory, or as F. C. Bartlett preferred, to the creative activity of remembering -- not the dusty storehouse of the mind where imperfect records are lost and found but an activity that reforms what it seems to retrieve. The written-down text constrains imagination, but as the experienced amount of it increases with more readings, and intertextually connects with the Bahktinian "world of others' words", is our intuitive statistician doing what the technician of distant reading models and charts? The operative word here is "model", or rather, since it is an iterative process which we enact with the computer, "modelling". The danger with modelling, many writers on the subject point out, is forgetting that the model of the moment is not the thing modelled (the map not the territory) but a interpreted, simplified version of it. A more serious danger (to which the history of the word "normal" attests) is that we take ordinary performance to be our measure, or rather, what can be measured of ordinary performance, rather than the extraordinary, and so lean too hard on the machine's mimetic ability to outstrip us. This is definitely not to put down "distant reading". How fruitful the phrase has been. I would hope the same for "intuitive statistician", here rescured from the written record and reintroduced into the scholarly conversation. But let us not use Franco Moretti's fruitful coinage as yet another "mind-forg'd manacle" to keep ourselves down. Comments?

I do assume that Andrew does not mean to elevate that statement to generic level. Does it not all depend on what your objective is, whether subject experts should be involved and on what level, in which role, and to what extent? If you are interested in solving a particular well articulated task and you want the solution to be an as generic as possible unsupervised system that in itself cannot explain why or how it operates and doesn't offer you much more insight into the problem (domain) itself… then you would not want the subject expert involved much with development. You would have a very apt solver, but not much understanding. Which might be exactly what is needed in certain cases. If however, you are interested in what a subject expert knows and how he or she acts to create a certain argument about a particular subject… then you would want the subject expert to be heavily involved in more than one way probably. You might end up with crap software, but a lot of shared and productive knowledge between domains. Which might be exactly what is needed in certain other cases. It all depends on the question to what aim you want to wield your technology, but the discussion seems to have lost this reflexivity in the latter posts. I sincerely do not understand what is wrong with the richness of different solutions growing from different ways of attacking different problems, and hence from different styles of scientific investigation. If computing shall be decreed to only service generic and scalable solutions, then we are in for a boringly non diversified intellectual experience imho. Deep learning (in my view a hip term for what is 'merely' next generation machine learning) and rule based parsing, to name two rather incommensurate types of computing, are different styles of computing tackling different problems in different ways, both expressing different sets and types of knowledge about a subject domain. Saying the one is better than the other is as useful and insightful as saying "this is a bad Rembrandt". So ideally data processing should not all be generic—to the contrary, I hope there will be plenty space for prejudiced, subjective, and meaningful, one of code. Just as there has always been space for different narratives, even when it was against the grain of canonized knowledge.

Although this interdependence is at the core of models in both natural language processing (NLP) and (computational) social sciences (CSS), these two fields still exist largely in parallel, holding back research insight and potential applications in both fields. This workshop aims to advance the joint computational analysis of social sciences and language by explicitly connecting social scientists, network scientists, NLP researchers, and industry partners. Our focus is squarely on integrating CSS with current trends and techniques in NLP and to continue the progress of CSS through socially-informed NLP for the social sciences. This workshop offers a first step towards identifying ways to improve CSS practice with insight from NLP, and to improve NLP with insight from the social sciences. ----- We have travel grants for students - please (encourage your students to) apply.

New technologies offer new ways of reading and new modes of presenting texts—but how completely can we really break with old paradigms? Do the design principles of the printed book have a place in our digital future? To find an answer, this conference considers our ongoing technological revolution in light of an earlier one: the invention of the printed book itself in Renaissance Europe. Lectures, workshops, and discussion by historians and practitioners of printing, web design, and typography will enable participants to apply lessons from the Renaissance to the design challenges of the present. Speakers include Simran Thadani, executive director of Letterform Archive; printer and type designer Russell Maret; Ken Botnick of emdash design studio and professor of art at Washington University; and Wellesley Director of Design Soe Lin Post. Lectures and discussions take place in the Margaret Clapp Library Lecture Room from 9:00am until 12:30pm and are free and open to the public. Following a lunch break, the program will resume at 2:00pm with workshops in letterpress printing and web design. Workshops, led by Wellesley Senior Instructor in Computer Science Sohie Lee http://www.wellesley.edu/cs/faculty/lee , Wellesley Book Arts Program Director Katherine Ruffin, and Wellesley Curator of Special Collections Ruth Rogers, run until 4:45. A reception and closing discussion will follow. Advance registration is required for afternoon workshops.

Wisnicki" Subject: Re: 30.254 The New Livingstone Online Hi Desmond, I appreciate you taking the time to provide additional feedback and your overall assessment of the Livingstone Online site. > I think > that it is a great contribution to our understanding of how to build > scholarly interactions with this kind of material. That is what digital > humanists are often trying to achieve. That is very kind of you to say. Thank you. However, a few things in your note still require clarification: > This suggests to me that you are unwilling to listen to users like > myself. I read your original email carefully. I responded in detail even though, honestly, the initial email missed basic facts of the site and read more like an attack than constructive feedback. Silently I also extracted what I could from your points and created a few work tickets for one of our programmers in our Github repo. See #77 and #78 (https://github.com/livingstoneonline/livingstoneonline/issues). I also added your name to our acknowledgments page (http://livingstoneonline.org/behind-scenes/credits-and-permissions). I think that's pretty good listening. The point I made had more to do with the style of your critique. Digital scholarship, of course, just like any other kind of scholarship, often has a lot of thought and effort invested in it. If other scholars are going to engage it, particularly to critique it, it often does well to take a thorough and measured response. Your first email read rather differently. > After all, I could turn your statement around and suggest that > you are only one person also. The design essay that you cited in your initial email (http://livingstoneonline.org/about-site/design-livingstone-online) should have alerted you to the fact that the design of the site, including the viewer, was a team effort and was based on extensive study of what others are doing with similar interfaces. This goes back to my point about missing basic facts. Of course, I don't expect you to have read all the essays on the site, but this was one that you specifically cited and, indeed, used as your launching point. > All of the things you list here are offline interactions. Indeed, they are. There are two reasons for this. First, our initial grant proposal actually included the development of several online tools of the kind you suggest, but we got about 20% less than we asked for and the suggestion directly from NEH officers was that we scale back the project by cutting out these tools. So initially it was out of my hands. This point is cited in our project history (http://livingstoneonline.org/about-site/leap-2013-2017-project-history-part-i). With time, however, I've also come to see this as a good thing. We've put our data out there. We offer several pathways that will be helpful to general uses. But the data is also available for specialists to take away from our site, much in keeping with the concept of Livingstone Online being a digital museum and *library*. You can pull down our data and do with it as you please. Online tools can be prescriptive, can become very costly, and can rapidly start to feel dated or limited as new technologies emerge. Finally, I'll take a look at your blog post and letter editor and would urge others to compare the two as well: http://livingstoneonline.org/islandora/search (chose an item) http://charles-harpur.org/letter-editor/editor.html but I do have a question: > The most sensible way that meets user expectations is to > align the text with the centre of the page image proportionally > throughout the text, taking proper account of the two ends. Sensible according to whom and based on what data? We align at the top. Users can scroll down the image or down the transcription, which are never going to perfectly align given the heterogeneity of the original source texts anyway. In any case, it sounds like we're both busy, as scholars usually are. I do think there is a very positive shift in how you've presented your feedback between the first email and this more recent one and, in the case of the latter, you've offered good food for thought on a few points. I'll bring these to my team in due course and let you know how we got on with them. In the present funded project, which is more about overhauling Livingstone Online top to bottom so as to enable the project to grow in the future, we're a bit limited by the work we can add because of the scope of promised deliverables and remaining funding. But there are always future grants. > In particular I still > question your response to my criticism that the site is too > metadata-oriented and lacks sufficient online tools to explore the > texts What you mean by texts still requires clarification. What we're trying to do with the viewer is put users in touch with the ding an sich, the original manuscript page, rather than metadata or transcriptions (which could be characterized as another form of metadata). As a result, the way our viewer is set up is that users first land on the images alone (with other distractions in the browser moved to the top edge of the screen) and have to make a conscious choice to bring transcriptions or items details into the picture. There's a decidedly minimalist approach, discussed in the design essay, with the idea of creating a particular aesthetic and intellectual experience of being in the digital library or archive. This is part of the overall distinct experience of visiting Livingstone Online. Another way to think of this is that it's part of our intervention into a larger conversation on digital remediation and DH praxis, so there's more going on here than just putting out texts. Thanks again.

I note as well that at least one first-generation machine-translation project, the RAND effort under David Hays (my teacher), undertook the statistical analysis of a body of text. I know as well that Hays and Hockett knew and thought well of one another, but I do not know how old that association goes, though it goes at least to the (infamous) ALPAC report, as both served on the committee.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 21 Aug 2016 10:17:53 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: feedback? Here is an historical change that has made, I suspect, quite a difference in how we use computers and what we get from that use. In "History and the Social Sciences in the Twentieth Century" (The Future of History, ed. Dalzell, 1977), Lawrence Stone observed that one of the real defects of the machine, clearly demonstrated in the experience of historians up to that point, was that, > its use precludes that feedback process by which the historian > normally thinks, thanks to which hunches are tested by data, and the > data in turn generate new hunches. When the historian uses the > computer, this two-way process is impossible until the very end of > the research, since it is only when the print-out is finally > available that any clues are provided to possible solutions to the > problems and therefore make possible the generation of new ideas and > new questions. (p. 27) Similarly Vern Bullough, Serge Lusignan and Thomas Ohlgren complain in "Report: Computers and the Medievalist", Speculum 49.2 (1974), that > Before the intervention of the computer it was possible to read a > text without having in mind a clear linguistic theory or to compile a > bibliography without any knowledge of library science. With the > computer this way of doing things is over. The implementation of > effective computer programming relies finally on the articulation > of a formal coherent theory about the data processed. Those old enough to recall the working conditions of that time -- punched cards, I/O desks in the computer centre, turn-around time measured in hours or days -- will have experienced the rigidity of relation then imposed by real-world limitations of the machine. Now we have agile, performative programming, rapid trial-and-error, simple messing about and seeing what happens, and so on. As Stone said, we enjoy with our machines "that feedback process by which the [scholar] normally thinks" &c. Some years ago experimental psychologists used to talk about a temporal threshold, said to be ca 1.5 seconds or thereabouts, beyond which we begin to censor our own enquiries if they are not successful, interesting &c. Intuitively it makes sense that feedback needs to be quick, and that past a certain point it may be difficult to separate a result fed back from a thought already in mind. Has anyone studied the very different epistemology of the digital since machines became ours and fast? I suspect that 'interaction' is no longer quite the right word.

In-Reply-To: <20160822053402.08A877D0A@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, No, indeed 'interaction,' as in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), is not the right word. Likewise it shouldn't be 'the user,' as in 'User Interface Design.' In the old days--the 1970s of Stone and Bullough--computers were physically big machines: room filling, imposing, impressive, mysterious, portentous, but not very fast. They promised to be the like of us humans. We put them on the same level as us, making us interact with them in new and unnatural ways, a level from which they did things for us, making us their users. Today all this about computers has changed. Computers are not room filling, impressive, mysterious, nor portentous. They are tiny, often invisible, taken for granted, ordinary, common place things, and very fast and connected together. Despite these amazing changes, the notion that we interact with computers as users still pervades and dominates what we do with them, how we our design their use, and most HCI research. It shouldn't be like this. And it needn't be like this. For everyday things we do, computer-based applications should be like utensils: things we habitually take up in our doing of some job or task; things we don't need to think about as we do the job; things we put down on completion; things we forget about until we do the job again. Well designed utensils fit the skilled hand that does the job as a temporary extension of that hand. They should not be things we are made to be users of and have to interact with. We don't think of writing pens as having users, nor needing user interfaces. Nor do we have Human-Pen Interaction research. We have writers, their pens, and their writings. It was the same for typewriters too! Research is not ordinary everyday doing. It's special work, and special work needs special tools, tools we must devise and make and modify and take up in the doing of our research. Research and scholarship are like the work of artists, artisans, and designers who make and use and modify the tools of their trade. Artists, artisans, and designers are often the inventors and pioneers of new tools, and discovers and developers of the technologies need to render these tools. Researchers and scholars should expect to be inventors and pioneers of their tools too, and expect to engage in the discovery and development of the technologies they need to render their tools from. Building, modifying, improving tools, including models, should be a normal part of doing research. It provides essential feedback on the research being done. It naturally provokes the reflexion and re-thinking that is a necessary quality of building reliable and robust new knowledge and understanding: the job of research and scholarship. It affords the the needed "two-way process" that Stone spoke of missing with (the old) computers we could only be users of, and interact with in slow awkward ways. In research, good tools are crafted and used by particular people to do particular things in particular ways. They are not neutral, and cannot be to work well as an integral part of doing the research. Using someone else's [software] tool to do your research with is like using a knife and folk made to fit another's hands to eat different food with, or like using a knife and folk made for generic hands that nobody actually has for eating uniform tasteless food; junk food eaten with plastic cutlery. Doing this makes you a mere user, causes awkward interactions, and blocks the needed feedback and reflexion and insights on the research job you are doing. Just as in engineering research and science research, in the Digital Humanities, Humanist scholars must, as an integral part of doing their research, be proactively involved in the devising, making, modifying, improving, refining of the tools they take up in doing their research, albeit it in happy collaborations (big or small) with others knowledgeable and skilled in the technologies used to render these tools. This would lead naturally and inevitably to new notions and ways of employing computation in interesting and challenging endeavors. Notions and ways that engineers and scientist would surely benefit from too. Also, looking at what artists have done with computers since the very early days might well be more useful to the Digital Humanities than looking across at what engineers and scientist have done, and do. For these artists, computers have been doorways to new ways of making, understanding, and thinking about their art, not simply machines artists used and interacted with. The epistemology has always been different, and continues to change.

Both events will take place in the second week of September, from 12-17 September 2016. This year's Summer School will consist of 10 workshops organised in two parallel sessions. The workshops include lots of hands-on activities. A range of topics will be covered, such as Textual Communities, Scholarly Commons, Scalar, Minimal Computing, etc. All information on the Summer School can be found here (http://www.arts.kuleuven.be/digitalhumanities/summer_school). The Intersectionality in Digital Humanities Conference brings together scholars from different fields and diverse parts of the globe to debate how intersectional studies reshapes, influences, and addresses issues of inclusivity. The last few years have witnessed a movement towards a more open an inclusive Digital Humanities field, bringing a plurality of voices into the conversation. Speakers on the Intersectionality in DH Conference will address all kind of gender-related issues that affect both the evolution of the research field as well as the epistemological beliefs in data research. All information on the Intersectionality Conference can be found here ( http://www.arts.kuleuven.be/digitalhumanities/intersectionality). Registration is required, but attendance to the Summer School and the Intersectionality Conference is free for all regular students, PhD-students and postdocs from Flemish universities. We hope to welcoming you soon in Leuven!

Submission Deadline: 3 October 2016 ****************************************************************** The large-scale digitization of analogue archives, the emerging diverse forms of born-digital archive, and new ways of engaging with archival material, are resulting in disruptions to traditional archival theories and practices. Increasing quantities of 'big archival data' present challenges for the practitioners and researchers who work with archival material, but also offer enhanced possibilities for scholarship through the application of computational methods and tools. This workshop will explore this conjunction of emerging methods and technologies around big data with archival practice, and examine new forms of analysis and historical, social, scientific, and cultural research engagement with archives. We aim to identify and evaluate current trends, requirements, and potential in these areas, to examine the new questions that they can provoke, and to help determine possible research agendas for the evolution of computational archival science in the coming years, as well addressing the questions and concerns scholarship is raising about the interpretation of 'big data' and the uses to which it is put. Full papers, of up to 9 pages, should be submitted via the conference online submission system. We also encourage submission of short papers (up to 4 pages) reporting work in progress. The submission deadline is 3 October 2016. All papers accepted will be included in the proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press.

If a generous person, he would probably refer his students to the archival sources to get a fuller picture, and try to keep a thorough record of all the materials (or maybe that's the archivist's job, not the scholar's?). I see this was from 1922, a time before hypertext (still a great word) and pop-up boxes, when the medium of written, printed journals (Now Under Review) encouraged a linear narrative, at least for a single article, followed by others presumably. Makes me think of the common misinterpretation of the poem "The Road Not Taken " - Oh, I kept the first for another day! What are the "Oh" and "!" doing there? The answer is of course that the narrator is a somewhat silly, affected, self-absorbed person whose thoughts as expressed in the poem are muddled (I resent that!). Frost is making fun of his buddy - it's pretty funny. My poetry professor didn't /tell/ us that - but he definitely implied it, allowing me to go home and connect the dots myself (I did for a change, and was quite chuffed about it, too). A great experience, thanks to him for not spelling it out too much. Now I've ruined it for somebody.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2016 10:31:42 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: a matter of focus In a book now interesting for historical reasons, Edward Shorter's The Historian and the Computer: A Practical Guide (Norton 1971), the author waits until the last chapter to discuss the perils of the work he has spent the previous ca 100 pages light-heartedly describing. Weighing heavily throughout those 100 pages is the equipment of "the machine room" -- card-punches, sorters etc, and the computer his historian will never directly encounter: > now we step from the book-lined study and head for the world of > flashing lights in the computer center. The great grey machines lined > up behind the glass, with their spinning tape drives and chattering > high-speed printers, seem to symbolize renunciation of all the values > and modes of investigation for which the historical profession has > stood.... [T]he historian will, as he goes from one mechanical stage > of data handling to another, simply have to suppress his instinctive > reaction: "Oh, my poor colonial settlers will never survive this > rough treatment." It is revealing to ask what he is not paying attention to. He spends a substantial chapter on "the code book", i.e. the place where the historian transfers items from his or her archival sources into a form suitable for processing. Shorter warns the historian away from programming: "My own feeling", he writes, "is that the investment of time and effort in all this is not worth it. Programming can eat up days better devoted to reflection and research" -- as if reflection and research did not happen in the programming or indeed in the work with his code book. He recommends hiring a programmer (likely to be a graduate student in the social sciences, he notes), and then advances the then still unfamiliar idea of off-the-shelf "packages". How the graduate student will reshape the historian's project in the process of writing that program, or how the off-the-shelf package will do the same, does not get a mention. This is his concluding advice: > One hazard in working with a glittering new research implement like > the computer is confusing ends and means. A real danger exists that > historians may lose their perspective as they immerse themselves in > this arcane technology, forgetting that machine research in > particular, and quantitative techniques in general, are means to an > end and not ends in themselves. Some scholars may come to think of > themselves as "computer historians" and of their research as "computer > projects." A couple of questions occur to me. First, how does the historian (or literary scholar et al) deal with the means, given how crucially computational means will in fact tend to affect the end result? Yes, this is an old problem, but it is still a problem for those wanting to work both in their field of origin and in computing so that they communicate significantly and persuasively to both groups of scholars. Second, for those whose work involves the "computer projects" of others -- i.e., that graduate student become a host of colleagues in an independent (or interdependent) discipline -- what do they talk and write about that constitutes their own meaningful scholarship? Or is "scholarship" not quite the right word for it?

Even if nothing can relieve such an immense pain, I would share with you and the other Digital Humanist friends, especially those working on art, the following news, which today appears like a beam of sunlight: the Assisi Basilica, with the priceless paintings of Giotto and other masters, has been declared safe: http://theartnewspaper.com/news/assisi-basilica-declared-saf e-after-earthquake-shakes-central-italy-/ May this spur the committment for the reconstruction of that area!

How, this workshop asks, can those working in medical humanities engage productively with objects to gain insights into medical care and health experience? What can objects show or tell us that texts do not? This workshop brings together scholars, artists, and museum professionals to address these questions. In three themed sessions combining presentation and discussion, we intend to explore the analytical, creative, and pedagogical possibilities that a focus on objects offers us. Attendance is free. To register, see: www.eventbrite.com/e/bodies-technologies-objects-amedical-humanities-laboratory-workshop-tickets-27250459859 For more information, please contact Marion Endt-Jones at marion.endt[at]manchester.ac.uk PROGRAMME 10:00 am - 10:30 am: Coffee and registration 10:30 am - 10:45 am: Welcome 10:45 am - 11:30 am: Session One: Patients and the medical museum We begin with Dr Sam Alberti (Keeper of Science & Technology, National Museums Scotland), who discusses how curators are interrogating what medical collections can tell us about the lives and experiences of those treated and other users of medical technologies. 11:30 am - 11:45 am: Coffee break 11:45 am - 1:15 pm: Session Two: Artists encounter and engage medical objects and technologies This session features two artists discussing their recent work: Geoffrey Harrison (London, www.geoffreyharrison.co.uk ) has been Artist in Residence at Barts Pathology Museum, St. Bartholomew's Hospital and recently completed a Leverhulme residency at The Royal Veterinary College. His anatomically-inspired artwork owes something to his childhood as the son of medical illustrators, but also incorporates an interest in aesthetics, theoretical bodily processes and anatomies that appear broken, but are somehow remade, whole. Painter Lucy Burscough (Manchester, www.lucysart.co.uk ) is currently working with Ocular Bionica (www.facebook.com/OcularBionica http://www.facebook.com/OcularBionica and @OcularBionica). This project, a collaboration with Manchester Vision Regeneration Lab and the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital, explores the cutting edge sight technologies that hint at a future of biomedical bionics and the hacking of humanity. 1:15 pm - 2:15 pm: Lunch 2:15 pm - 3:45 pm: Session Three: Teaching with, through and about medical objects Dr Kostas Arvanitis (ICP, Manchester) and Stephanie Seville (Museum of Medicine and Health, Manchester) discuss how museology students have worked with objects and staff from the University's collections. This project, which included pop-up exhibitions, intended to develop practical skills while testing theoretical understanding.

In-Reply-To: <20160824050705.B27D77D61@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Yes, many scholarly decisions are involved in crafting a (digital) edition of a text. Together the choices that inform these decisions make up a scholarly argument, and hence (referring to Bernard Cercuiglini and Peter Shillingsburg) I regularly parrot their assertion that the scholarly (digital) edition is an argument about a text, and not the text itself. This seems fully congruent with what Max Weber writes. Of course my eye then got hung up on the "must be hidden" part. Yes—I was certainly going to argue now that in Weber's time it would have been utterly infeasible to explicate every single scholarly decision as paratext. It would both drive reader and editor insane. Then I would argue that yet indeed it are these decisions that grant the edition a scholarly character. And would Weber have used these words "must be hidden" if he had been aware of today's computational possibilities. Should such decisions still be silent? And I would argue that I think this is exactly where computation would come into play for the scholar, in its guise of being prejudiced, subjective, meaningful, and one off that I argued a few days ago. If making an edition is taking decisions and making choices, then—to be scientifically accountable—these choices and the processes of decision making should be open and available for scrutiny and criticism. An excellent opportunity to leverage the performative aspects of code. If the code results in what the scholarly editor judges to be the best argument he or she can make about the text without the scholar actually writing the text but by making the code produce it, then all transformative editorial action are at least explicit—which still obviously is different from 'argued'. I am trying to create such a computational (as distinct from 'digital') edition. It is a hermeneutic take at coding. It is rough and far from finished and polished. But if you don't mind work in progress, you could look at http://tinyurl.com/zstj6lz (That's the notebook pertaining to this subject, it's part of a bigger code repository: https://github.com/jorisvanzundert/reynaert-as-graph) However… Did Weber say "must be hidden"? He used "stecken". Now, I am not a native speaker of German, but if I am not mistaken "stecken" here means simply "being present", "are present in", "have been put in". Quite distinct from "verstecken" which would indeed explicitly mean "to hide". The context ( http://verlag.ub.uni-potsdam.de/html/494/html/WL.pdf, page 275) doesn't make it much more clear for me. Weber is more or less saying that history does not have the ability of choice, but chroniclers do and they must use it. He does not seem too concerned at all with the visibility of these choices, just that they exist. I am not excluding the possibility that "stecken" can be read like "hidden" in some more figurative way, but it is I think not as explicit as the English translation suggests. How much was gained in translation? Is there a German reader of Humanist that can tell us? All the best --Joris -- Drs.

Today one is more likely to encounter it under the name of "mathesis", referring to the hypothetical universal science, mathesis universalis, advocated by Leibniz and Descartes, or after Foucault, to "the science or practice of establishing a systematic order of things" (OED). So I advance as relevant to our 21st-century concerns an old collection of essays, Quantification: A History of the Meaning of Measurement in the Natural and Social Sciences, ed. Harry Woolf (1961). Unfortunately for us the organizers of the conference held by the U.S. Social Science Research Council (at which the papers gathered in the volume were delivered in November 1959) did not manage to include someone with a focus on the humanities. The philosopher Ernest Nagel was invited but could not attend; historians predominated, but their focus was on the sciences. In any case, esp since our beloved machine is a product of the technosciences and bears a technoscientific stamp, the collection is well worth reading through. I include here the table of contents: Harry Woolf: The Conference on the History of Quantification in the Sciences S. S. Wilks: Some Aspects of Quantification in Science A. C. Crombie: Quantification in Medieval Physics Thomas Kuhn: The Function of Measurement in Modern Physical Science Henry Guerlac: Quantification in Chemistry Richard H. Shryock: The History of Quantification in Medical Science Edwin G. Boring: The Beginning and Growth of Measurement in Psychology Joseph J. Spengler : On the Progress of Quantification in Economics Paul F. Lazarsfeld: Notes on the History of Quantification in Sociology--Trends, Sources and Problems R. W.

An excellent opportunity to leverage the > performative aspects of code. I wish for a moment to pick at the phrase "to be scientifically accountable" -- the tip of another old argument. A great deal of argument has been built on the notion that for a result in the sciences and mathematics to be accepted, the process of obtaining it must be replicable, by anyone, anywhere, at any time. There's a mountain of discussion in the history and philosophy of the sciences on this point that I'm not competent to discuss and so wish to avoid bringing in here. But what I do want to do is to raise the matter of being "scientifically accountable" in the interpretative disciplines. I think this points the way into very dangerous, anti-intellectual territory. And, I'd say, it is precisely in the struggle between what can be made explicit and what cannot that digital humanities comes into its own. In the reception history of computing in textual editing there was a stage at which some were arguing that the editor was no longer needed. All we needed was all the evidence to be presented and the tools for sorting this evidence provided. (Forgive and correct me of this is an exaggeration, but that time was a time of exaggeration.) No one, I'd guess, would argue that now. But really, how far should one go in recording *everything*? And how far would we like our critics to go in holding our work to the standard which demands that, given the same evidence, anyone, anywhere, at any time would produce the same edition? There is, Evelyn Fox Keller argues, something rather less than straightforward about the removal of the scientist from what we regard as science. Perhaps we should look again at our exemplars of reliable knowledge and put more emphasis on how knowledge becomes reliable (not true in any absolute sense)?

I am neither a German-speaking reader nor a Germanist, but so far as I can understand, in the sentence of Weber "stecken" should mean "there are", "are comprised" or something like that. As I have had the chance to say from an old 2003 lecture (http://www.tdtc.unisi.it/files/materiale_didattico/stella/Burgos.pdf on in some papers and articles about computing philology (the latest issue will be published next year in the documents of the Erasmus Project "Digital Editing Medieval Manuscripts" www.digitalmanuscript.eu), I back the need to declare and justify every philological choice and include in the edition whatever material that can support it, because it's only that which enables the user to falsify the results in a verification process which, according to Karl Popper, is the real mark of a scientific discourse. That principle had been already stated as an editorial requirement by the philologist Domenico De Robertis (1984) for the paper edition (concerning his edition od Dante's Rime) and by Raul Mordenti 2002 ("Informatica umanistica") for the digital edition. Francesco Stella --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2016 13:23:49 +0000 From: Martin Mueller Subject: Re: 30.296 being explicit In-Reply-To: <20160826053914.BC7B37C4F@digitalhumanities.org> There is a German idiom that goes like "da steckt was drin," which is like "there's something in there." Now if you already saw what's "in there", you wouldn't really have to talk about, would you. Whatever "steckt" is either hard to see (though it may not have been deliberately hidden) or it's hard to get out. Weber's quote--thank you Willard--for digging it out, is a little like Heidegger on 'truth'. The Greek word is 'a-letheia, derived from 'lanthano' (to hide or be hidden). Truth is an "unhiding." "Dis-covery" works quite similarly. Truth tends to be "verborgen" or "hidden away", and it must be "entborgen". The locus classicus for this aspect of truth is Oedipus Rex, and more particularly the scene between Tiresias and Oedipus. That said, if every editorial decision that needs to be made were fully document in the text, nobody would ever read the text, which would just be overwhelmed Some things can and should be done tacitly. One has to be careful with the truth.

On creative impulses in the scholarly enterprise --… from towards the beginning of A.E. Housman's Cambridge Inaugural Lecture 1911, printed under the title "The Confines of Criticism" As engraving to the great art of painting, so is translation to the great art of poetry; and, like the great arts, it is itself an act of creation. And here lies its chief utility in the process of educating a scholar. Learning is in the main a passive and receptive function; but the human mind, from infancy upward, feels the impulse to create; and to indulge that impulse, however slight the value of the creation, promotes the happiness of the creator, and so enhances his powers and enlarges his capacities. The schoolboy who is put to his books, whether those books are accidence and syntax or Vergil and Homer, is further off from heaven in one regard than the child of a few years past who sat on the ground and made mud pies. To make mud pies is to follow at a distance and share in modest measure the activities of the demiurge: let the boy, as well as the child, evoke a small world of his hands and pronounce it, if he can, to be pretty good. A desire to create and a pleasure in creating are often alive and ardent in minds whose true business later is to be not creation but criticism; and even if the things created have small intrinsic merit, the intellectual stir and transport which produced them is not therefore vain, and has other results than these. From a pre-computing mind, many of the same preoccupations that excite Humanist subscribers. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 854E37D82; Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:58:51 +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 43FE57D77; Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:58:49 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 110B97BC7; Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:58:43 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160830065844.110B97BC7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 08:58:43 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.304 events: bibliography; visualisation; interdisciplinary futures 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: <20160830065850.21148.61928@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 304.

The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation had established, in 1993, the multidisciplinary Gulbenkian Commission on the Restructuring of the Social Sciences. After three years of work, led by Immanuel Wallerstein, the Commission published its report (with Stanford University Press). The Report analysed the situation in the social sciences, its origins, and possible futures, making recommendations for improvements, largely based on ideals of openness and interdisciplinarity. These deals have gained ground more broadly since then in the academia. The report attracted attention and incited commentary and some debate within the social sciences. This year, 20 years have passed, and it is now an opportune time to revisit the themes and suggestions of the Report. Many of them are still very timely, awaiting further examination and debate. On the other hand, some things have changed in the social sciences and their various boundary conditions. It will be important to update the diagnoses and proposals accordingly. Reconsidering the Report and its messages collectively at a conference will provide an opportunity to address the challenges in a way that is respectful for historical continuity and generative of novel and updated insights. CONFERENCE THEMES The conference will focus on three general themes related to the Report of the Gulbenkian Commission: 1. The Report itself, its background, its context, its diagnoses, its messages, its arguments, its recommendations -- both historically and analytically considered. 2. The issue of how to update the Report, based on what has changed since 1996 regarding the themes and claims and arguments in the Report, asking how the report would look like if written today. How has the situation changed? What are the urgent issues of interdisciplinarity today? 3. Independently of the Report itself, contemporary developments and future scenarios, examining current trends plus anticipating and designing the future of the social sciences from the point of view of interdisciplinarity. This includes mutual relations amongst the social sciences as well as their relations to other disciplines (such as neuroscience, genetics, evolutionary biology, ecology, geography, archaeology, physics, computer science, and others), to methodological developments (e.g. computational and experimental techniques), to developments in the institutions and organisations of research and higher education, and to various non-academic partners and pressures. We invite contributions that approach the themes in terms of case studies and detailed (more detailed than was possible in the short Report for the Gulbenkian Foundation) analyses of trends and practices and possible futures of scientific inquiry and education, its changing cognitive structures, institutional contexts, and interdisciplinary interconnections. We welcome proposals from scholars active in a variety of research fields, from history and philosophy of science to the various disciplinary perspectives applied to the study of science, science policy, and higher education (those from economics, sociology, political science, anthropology, management, education, communication studies, bibliometrics etc). Mixing such perspectives will yield a rich and comprehensive picture of the future of interdisciplinarity in social science. Examples (just examples!) of possible themes: • Ways of opening the social sciences – promises, obstacles, risks • Hopes and prospects of unified social science • Cognitive and institutional conditions of interdisciplinarity • “The two cultures” – past, present, future • Forms of collaboration and dominance between disciplines • Natural sciences, social sciences, humanities: chances of (un)learning • Roles of neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary biology in social sciences • Consequences of big data and data processing technologies • Roles of techniques (e.g. of modelling, simulating, experimenting) in bringing disciplines together • Roles of social sciences in projects led by natural sciences • Policy relevance of research and interdiscplinarity • Roles of social sciences in addressing and solving wicked problems • Consequences of extra-academic participation for the sciences of society • Consequences of contemporary governance of science and higher education • Reconfigurations of science-society relations • The West and the rest in the (social) sciences • Challenges in the management of interdisciplinarity. SUBMISSION OF ABSTRACTS In addition to submitting an abstract of a single paper, you are also welcome to propose a whole session of 3 (or 4) papers (sessions are envisaged to be 90 minutes). Abstracts of single papers should be 500-600 words.

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.

The full list of CFPs is available on the website: http://rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-2017/ This four-day international conference will be held in Philadelphia from 12 to 15 October 2017, bringing together scholarly professionals poised to address current problems pertaining to the study of textual artifacts that cross scholarly, pedagogical, professional, and curatorial domains. The conference will explore theories and methods common to the object-oriented disciplines, such as anthropology and archaeology, but new to bibliography. The Bibliography Among the Disciplines program, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, aims to promote focused cross-disciplinary exchange and future scholarly collaborations. The conference sessions will include both traditional and innovative formats: plenary addresses, short presentations, roundtable, workshops, working groups, and site visits. The project will culminate in 2019 with a volume of essays contributed by conference participants. The conference and subsequent volume will seek to build on the ongoing series of symposia conducted by Rare Book Schoolís Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography, established in 2012 through funding from the Foundation. Materiality of Digital Objects (paper session) Session Organizer: Ryan Cordell (Northeastern University) Friday, 13 October 2017, 3:45ñ5:15 p.m. Scholarship in the humanities increasingly relies on digital primary and secondary sources, whether born-digital materials or digitized historical documents, but scholars have not adequately grappled with the bibliographical implications of this shift. To that end, this session asks: how should twenty-first-century bibliographers treat born-digital and digitized objects in order to take seriously the materiality and sociology of computational texts? Which established bibliographical approaches canóor shouldótransfer to the digital realm, and what new methods, both technical and intellectual, are required for responsible scholarship that draws on digital sources? How could bibliography interface with adjacent fields such as media archeology, computer forensics, data science, and library science as it adapts its methods for the computational medium? Conversely, what methods and insights from the long bibliographical tradition canóor shouldómore robustly inform conversations in those adjacent fields? During this conference session, three participants will give 20-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 25 October 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-papers Tools for Data Analysis and Visualization (short presentations) Session Organizer: Ryan Cordell (Northeastern University) Friday, 13 October 2017, 10:45 a.m.ñ12:15 p.m. In the past decades, tools for analyzing and visualizing humanistic data have proliferated. Networks, maps, and graphs are increasingly common in bibliographic and book-historical scholarship. With this rise, however, come essential cautions about the dangers of methodological appropriation. These short presentations will give an overview of the practical and theoretical implications of these shifts. How are bibliographers employing data analysis and visualization tools in their research today? What are the limitations of such approaches? What new tools might we look to in the future? Perhaps most importantly, how might bibliographers contribute to the development of data analysis and visualization tools, rather than bending their work to fit tools developed for other spheres? Finally, what practical advice or examples can best illustrate how bibliographers are using data analysis and visualization tools? We will invite six participants to give 10-minute presentations that will be followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 300 words by 25 October 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-presentations Dynamics of Digital Collections (short presentations) Session Organizer: Paul Fyfe (North Carolina State University) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 10:45 a.m.ñ12:15 p.m. This session of short presentations aims to identify and share innovative approaches to digital collections of cultural heritage materials. In the simplest terms, what can digital collections do? How are digital collections or smaller projects adapting to handle different kinds of materials, bibliographic features, objects, images, or other modalities? In what ways are people using digital collections beyond the expectations of their makers? What can digital collections do better? How might they facilitate a broadening of the reach of bibliography or its connections across the disciplines? How are digital collections being used to engage new audiences and publics? During this conference session, six participants will give 10-minute presentations, followed by a half-hour discussion led by a moderator. Please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 25 October 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-presentations Digitization, Representation & Access (roundtable) Session Organizer: Paul Fyfe (North Carolina State University) Saturday, 14 October 2017, 8:30ñ10:00 a.m. This roundtable discussion encourages participants to tackle issues surrounding the politics/ethics of digitization and digital collections of cultural heritage materials. Questions which participants might address include: How has the representation of different peoples, histories, and materials been shaped by the institutional prerogatives of digitization? What might be done to address digitizationís potential to create political imbalances or archival silences? What kinds of productive relationships might digitization professionals seek to build with cultural heritage objectsí communities of origin and use? How do the technical protocols and platforms of digitization shape the cultural horizons of what such materials purport to represent? What are the consequences of widespread or limited access to digital collections, and what approaches might individuals and institutions take to building, communicating, and curating them? We envision this roundtable as beginning with three to five 5- to 8-minute position papers, which will be followed by a discussion led by the session organizers and a moderator. The discussion will include presenters and up to 50 additional participants from the conference. To be considered to deliver a position paper, please submit a proposal of no more than 500 words by 25 October 2016 at: www.rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-roundtables Thank you! we look forward to your submissions. _______________________________________________ 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 D45767D82; Tue, 30 Aug 2016 09:25:39 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2D0647D77; Tue, 30 Aug 2016 09:25:39 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BEDBF7D6E; Tue, 30 Aug 2016 09:25:35 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160830072535.BEDBF7D6E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2016 09:25:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.305 Techne: new blog for Stanford Literary Lab X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20160830072539.25790.86127@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 305. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2016 17:08:40 +0000 From: literarylab Subject: Stanford Literary Lab Launches New Blog The Stanford Literary Lab is pleased to announce the launch of our new blog, Techne (https://litlab.stanford.edu/techne). Considering the form of the technical blog as expansively as possible, Techne will give our members and collaborators a forum to present the internal work of the Lab to a broader audience, and to share our methods and research processes with the wider community. Our posts, although wide-ranging according to the interests and specialties of our members, will fall into five broad categories of technical work: 1. Supplements to the pamphlets. As our emphasis in the pamphlets is on the literary aspects of the argument (a primary goal of the Lab), details on our methods and technical processes are, by necessity, subordinated in our publications. As we craft methods to fit the needs of each project, Techne will allow us the opportunity to focus on this aspect of the Lab’s work. Not every pamphlet will have an accompanying post here, but where the methods warrant it, this will give us the opportunity to share the technical side of our primary work. 2. Technical infrastructure. In the last few years, our corpus has grown exponentially and our methods have, in turn, become more complex. There is much background work, therefore, that has to happen in order to make the projects that we do possible. From collecting and managing our corpus, to computing on a High Performance Cluster, these aspects of the lab underlie every project, yet are not, on the surface, a part of any. In this forum we will have the opportunity to share our code and discuss the choices that we have made. 3. Dead ends, untaken roads and failed experiments. Every project takes unanticipated turns that render early results, even successful results, obsolete. Some of these, however, while superfluous to the projects that birthed them and unable to stand on their own, remain interesting in and of themselves. Techne will offer a place to present and discuss these. 4. Pedagogy. Often overlooked in favor of the excitement of discovery, teaching quantitative textual analysis within the humanities comes with a host of unique challenges. Here, those lab members and collaborators who have taught classes within and adjacent to the Lab can discuss their classroom strategies, sample experiments, and the remainder of the work that goes into the instructional process. 5. Critical Discussion. Perhaps the least technical aspect of our technical blog, but by no means the least important, the critical milieu of the lab is the locus of the inspiration for our projects. Whether in discussion of critical or digital work inside or outside of the lab, Techne will offer us the space to reflect on the critical processes of the Digital Humanities. Through all of these areas, our goal is for Techne to make visible the invisible work of the Literary Lab; to present different stages of investigation and alternate modes of research and to give a voice to the individual members and collaborators that, together, make the Lab possible. The pamphlet series will remain our primary research output, and, in many ways, our posts here will be a supplement to them. But, in our updates, which we will announce on our Twitter account and our RSS feed, we hope that Techne will offer an alternative and equally rich insight into our work.

In-Reply-To: <20160824050705.B27D77D61@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I don't see the relevance of Weber's statement for editors choosing between dibergent states in the trnsmission of a text. Weber deals with decisions taken by different parties on historical battelfields -- the sitation stems from the chapter "Objektive Möglichkeit und adäquate Verursachung in der historischen Kausalbetrachtung" And obviously the word "stecken" has here nothing to do with the opposition of "verstecken" / "entdecken"; Weber has it taken - and marked as citation - from Goethe as he said p. 274: "Was heißt es denn nun aber, wenn wir von mehreren »Möglichkeiten« sprechen, zwischen denen jene [historischen] Kämpfe »entschieden« haben sollen? Es bedeutet zunächst jedenfalls die Schaffung von – sagen wir ruhig: – Phantasiebildern durch Absehen von einem oder mehreren der in der Realität faktisch vorhanden gewesenen Bestandteile der »Wirklichkeit« und durch die denkende Konstruktion eines in bezug auf eine oder einige »Bedingungen« abgeänderten Herganges. Schon der erste Schritt zum historischen Urteil ist also – darauf liegt hier der Nachdruck – ein Abstraktionsprozeß, der durch Analyse und gedankliche Isolierung der Bestandteile des unmittelbar Gegebenen, – welches eben als ein Komplex möglicher ursächlicher Beziehungen angesehen wird, – verläuft und in eine Synthese des »wirklichen« ursächlichen Zusammenhanges ausmünden soll. Schon dieser erste Schritt verwandelt mithin die gegebene »Wirklichkeit«, um sie zur historischen »Tatsache« zu machen, in ein Gedankengebilde: in der »Tatsache« steckt eben, mit Goehte zu reden, »Theorie«. " Yours, Herbert [For the benefit of those who do not read German, a translation from Collected Methodological Writings, ed. Bruun and Whimster, p. 175: > But what does it mean when we talk of several “possibilities” between > which those struggles are supposed to have “decided”? In the first > place, it means at least that we construct what we may safely call > imaginary pictures: [we imagine] the absence of one or more of those > components of “reality” that actually existed, and we construct in > our minds a sequence of events that is modified with respect to one > or a few “conditions”.

Not technical or Drupal-specific, it explores how we think about content on the web and the somewhat-outdated webpage metaphor (and the related scroll metaphor). We need to break free from those physical-world concepts. It is actually shown on an iPad screen projected via an old-school overhead projector, fascinating combination of old and new tools. According to Eaton, his laptop "ate" the presentation, but it was still "on" his iPad. So why didn't he email it from the iPad to his Macbook? Perhaps he was deliberately setting up something like a frame narrative. Or not. His end summary: "the Page is always going to be with us a log as we have things that are printed and things that are viewed at a url on a browser, but it's dead as a useful organizing metaphor for the kind of work we do with a [content-management] tool like Drupal. Remembering that distinction is important." His accompanying slide reads: 1. Pages are just a metaphor 2. "Better page tools" won't work 3. Content assets and goals 4. Presentation uses & mixes assets 5. "Content first" is future-friendly *The Page is Dead (Long Live the Page) * -- Andrew Taylor, MLS Associate Curator, Visual Resources Department of Art History, Rice University 713-348-4836 https://twitter.com/agrahamt _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, 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 2315A7DE2; Fri, 2 Sep 2016 08:54:16 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6013F7DDC; Fri, 2 Sep 2016 08:54:15 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8F7F07DDD; Fri, 2 Sep 2016 08:54:12 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160902065412.8F7F07DDD@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 08:54:12 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.309 events: palaeography 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: <20160902065415.12410.25548@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 309.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2016 14:29:39 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the laity Some here will find amusing and perhaps even useful the following on the humanities and the sciences from "History: Professional and Lay", the inaugural address of Hugh Trevor-Roper as Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford in 1957. Distinguishing himself from his predecessors he wrote "that history is a humane study and that the study of the humanities requires a different method from the study of the sciences" and explained as follows: > The difference, as it seems to me, essentially concerns the position > of the laity. Exact sciences require specialization and all the > apparatus of specialization, even if such specialization carries them > beyond the bounds of human interest or lay understanding.... Even if > no layman can understand them, they will still be taught by > professionals to professionals from generation to generation. The > exact scientists are a kind of pre-Reformation clergy, and their > function is to perform their miracles, to continue their Church, not > to make themselves intelligible to laymen: for their control of the > means of salvation and damnation makes the lay world so dependent on > them that it will tolerate and subsidize them even without > understanding. But the humane subjects are quite different from this. > They have no direct scientific use; they owe their title to existence > to the interest and comprehension of the laity; they exist primarily > not for the training of professionals but for the education of > laymen; and therefore if they once lose touch with the lay mind, they > are rightly condemned to perish. He recognizes the role of the sciences in informing the humanities and then goes on: > But since they merely contribute to humane subjects and have not yet > absorbed them, it follows that such technical specialization in > respect of them has no value in itself; it owes whatever value it has > entirely to that degree to which it makes those subjects clearer, > more comprehensible, and more interesting to the intelligent laity. > I do not dispute that by a completer professionalism we may arrive at > a more perfect knowledge of history or literature: I merely state > that that perfect knowledge may be so fine and so uninteresting that > nobody, except its discoverers, will wish to possess it. I can only note that the difference between Trevor-Roper's laity and my neighbours here in East London makes his ambition to write history for the masses ambitious indeed. But I still endorse it, even if I have no idea how it might be accomplished. He seems to have been quite unaware of the enormous and, I think, very successful attempts of scientists and science-writers to reach the laity, from the early 19th Century to this day. Where does this leave us digital humanists? How good are we at communicating with the laity (however we conceive it), given our ambition to number among the humanities? The reception history of computing in the humanities suggests that flashing the techno-bling (as Peter Turchin does with his 'cliodynamics', http://peterturchin.com/cliodynamics/) is precisely the wrong way to go.

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. Submissions must be uploaded before October 31, 2016.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2016 13:11:10 -0500 From: Shawna Ross Subject: CFP: Histories of Digital Labor, Past and Present (edited collection) CFP: Histories of Digital Labor, Past and Present (edited collection) 250-300 word abstracts due January 31, 2017 6,000-word essays due June 30, 2017 Full CFP here: https://oncomouse.github.io/digital-labor-cfp/ Recent attempts to rewrite dominant accounts of technological progress, including the annual Ada Lovelace Day and Hidden Figures—the upcoming film about African-American women’s achievements in NASA—have drawn attention to the unknown histories lurking behind our digital present. This edited collection will not only continue to uncover such occluded histories, but also will interrogate our definitions of and assumptions about labor, effort, merit, and reward structures as they relate to new digital conditions of work. Who does the labor, what kind of labor is it, and what were the conditions of that labor? How was that labor attributed (or not), compensated (or not), rewarded (or not), and remembered (or not)? Mythic visions of STEM history in the digital tend to reinscribe the great men narrative models of the past, but how do we imagine histories of the digital that tell stories closer to the actual work of making these myths? As McKenzie Wark asks in Molecular Red, “[W]hat in these times is labor? Can a concept of labor include scientific labor, reproductive labor, affective labor, precarious labor, even non-labor?” (120). As technological apparatuses come to constitute more and more of the scene of labor, how has this transition influenced our accounts of labor (and for better or worse)? Submissions may draw from any historical period as long as a persuasive link is made to the specifically digital technologies we use today. Reconfiguring these narratives may involve exploring one of many sites of technological labor: the laboratory, the factory, the office, the library, the makerspace, the classroom, the personal computer, the living room, the garage. We welcome a variety of methods (such as oral history, close reading, archival work, quantitative analysis, ethnography, or material/visual cultural analysis) and disciplinary approaches from the humanities and social sciences. Papers whose style and content reaches across disciplines and audiences—rather than attempt to make very specific disciplinary interventions—are especially desirable. What matters most is that each submission reconstructs a compelling narrative of occluded labor and allows that narrative to generate a new definition or approach to work in the digital age. We have already begun communicating with a prominent publisher and anticipate moving swiftly once full drafts are received.

He describes how it works: "From time to time over the course of my workday, I reach out to flick this switch, and a hatch opens at the top of the box, and a small fingerlike projection, driven by a whirring motor within, emerges and pushes the switch back into its original position. Having been switched on, this machine has now fulfilled its sole function of switching itself off again." He explains its origins: "This device — which is known as the Useless Machine, and more rarely as the Leave Me Alone Box — was conceived at Bell Laboratories in the early 1950s by the computer scientist Marvin Minsky, a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, who was at that point a grad student working a summer job. The first working model was constructed by his mentor, Claude Shannon, who later became known as the father of information theory." Here is his summary of what he makes of this object: "There is something charming, and even inspiring, in the paradoxical efficiency of this machine that does nothing, that fulfills its entire purpose by bluntly refusing to fulfill any purpose at all. When I reach over to flick the switch on my Useless Machine and then watch it rouse itself, with patient defiance, to switch itself off again, I wonder whether this is what it might mean for a technology to be truly intelligent: to receive an order and to respond by politely but firmly declining to follow it. The plain contradiction here, of course, is that in refusing to do what it’s told, the machine is stoically following its explicit commands. In this sense, the Useless Machine is like a battery-operated koan: a playfully profound riddle on the relationship between humans and technology, and on the nature of intelligence."

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 5 Sep 2016 15:24:48 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: bridge-building Early last month, in Humanist 20.237, I quoted from Marc Flandreau's account of his experiences in economic history, from Pat Hudson's collection of autobiographical vignettes, Living Economic and Social History (Glasgow, 2001). My aim was to unearth a question about the bi-directionality of fields where two (or more) disciplines interact. Now I want to return to Flandreau to zero in on a much more fundamental issue. Recounting his early experiences, he writes about his difficulties making a choice between disciplines: > there were two sister disciplines in which I found intrinsic beauty > and appeal, which I decided to study separately. These were economics > and history. The seduction of economics was its abstraction, its > ability to operate a fairly sophisticated conceptual machine capable > of moving at high speed and to land it, as a helicopter, in the tidy > glades that can be found in even the most inaccessible jungles. The > seduction of history came from qualities that are exactly opposite. > The same jungles are explored on foot with a duty to collect every > single exotic flower along the way, taking the petals, leaves and > roots together, writing where they were picked in a booklet, and > studying them back in the office both for themselves and in relation > to each other. While in history elegance and scholarly achievement is > often a thick book, in economics, it is a lean one. So he struggled, as many of us have, I suspect. But in the end he never did choose -- and that, he says, was the crucial move: > After years trying to strike a balance between economics and history > - a balance that could in turn be called economic history - I have > come to the conclusion that the essence of economic history is not > about the appropriate proportion, the optimal dose which each part > should have in the final product. It is rather in the very attempt at > striking a balance, in the continuing sense of discomfort that one > has as long as a clear and systematic explanation has not been found, > and in the renewed sense of discomfort as soon as such an explanation > - suddenly all too clear and systematic - has been found. This is > probably why a perennial bridge has not been and shall never be built > between the two cultures: because both banks of the river are moving > or constantly changing, so that any bridge is bound to have its > foundations weakened and be washed away at some point. And because > economic history is about the effort at building the bridge, about > crossing the river on the provisional construction, and about the > view one gets from there - not about the bridge itself. It's like what I like to say about interdisciplinary encounters: ongoing, always uncomfortable, bi-polar struggles in the mind of the enquirer to bring very different points of view temporarily together. Perhaps this is a productive way of putting the problematic existence of digital humanities into communicable form?

The associated literature on these topics is vast, but allow me to mention some older writings that should not be ignored, at least as background to what could be a very fruitful discussion. The first is John Diebold's Automation (1952, rpt 1983), where he recounts coining the term; also his edited collection, The World of the Computer (1973), which puts automation into the context of much with which our beloved machine has been involved. Another is an article Emmanuel G. Mesthene published in Computers and the Humanities 4.1 (1969), "Technology and Human Values". ("It is to this side of life", he writes, "that we appeal when we speak of the value of leisure -- but leisure in the best sense, not in the potentially self-defeating sense of time off from work.") Peter Burke's "The Invention of Leisure in Early Modern Europe", Past and Present 146 (1995): 136-150, extends the historical scope and has many useful references.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 09:13:18 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: our scientific exemplars In assessing where we severally are with respect to computing, the sciences are regularly cited as goal posts. For example, in the very interesting and useful "Cultures of formalization: Towards an encounter between humanities and computing" (in Understanding Digital Humanities, ed. Berry) Joris van Zundert et al begin their article with this sentence: > The past three decades have seen several waves of interest in > developing crossovers between academic research and computing; > molecular biology is often cited as the prime exemplar of 'what > computation can do for a field'. So, what has computing done for (or to) molecular biology? I am hoping that a molecular biologist is somewhere here to advise, but not being one myself I reach for Steve Rose's article in the latest London Review of Books, "How to get another thorax" (38.17, 8 September, pp. 15-17). It's about epigenetics (the LRB has a sense of humour about titles). Epigenetics underscores the view of biology as an historical science, i.e. a science for which things that just happen, unsystematically, unpredictably, are essential to what happens subsequently. Rose writes, > With the discovery of the structure of DNA by Francis Crick and James > Watson in the 1950s, there was a renewed conviction among biologists > -- especially the physicists and engineers turned biologists like > Crick --“ that what was needed was a ruthless reductionism.... Life, it > seemed, was computable. The triumph of reductionism seemed so secure > that by the 1990s ambitious molecular biologists were able to > persuade their funders, public and private, to embark on the massive > project of sequencing the entire three billion As, Cs, Gs and Ts that > spell out the human genome. The information the sequence provided > would, they claimed, transform our understanding of medicine, and in > so doing give a powerful boost to a languishing economy. But, it seems, the numbers they came up with > made a nonsense of the idea that there is a '˜gene for' any particular > human characteristic, from eye colour to IQ to sexual orientation, > and has confounded the hope that sequencing the genome would generate > a cornucopia of precision-tailored treatments for complex diseases. In other words, to cut to the chase, computing helped much more quickly to drive molecular biology straight into a very tangled thicket of research. Nowadays, then, > Practising epigeneticists try to police the boundary between science > and myth while at the same time defending themselves against a > residual genetic orthodoxy that continues to look on epigenetics with > unease. Yet science fiction can go where scientists fearful for their > reputations may hesitate to tread. And sometimes, science fiction > proves a better judge of future possibility than established science fact. I would think that this example from the sciences would raise the question not of how to be successful like the bio-boffins but what our own thicket is like. Historically speaking, we who deal with language arrived at it very quickly indeed -- roughly speaking by the mid to late 1960s -- and in many respects are still there. Comments?

It has developed to become an inherent part of our social, cultural, political, and social lives, and is accordingly leaving behind a detailed documentary record of society and events since the advent of widespread web archiving in 1996. These two key points lie at the heart of our in-preparation Handbook of Web History: that the history of the web itself needs to be studied, but also that its value as an incomparable historical record needs to be inquired as well. Within the last decade, considerable interest in the history of the Web has emerged. However, there is no comprehensive review of the field. Accordingly, our SAGE Handbook of Web History will provide an overview and point to future research directions. The editors, Niels Brügger, Megan Sapnar Ankerson, and Ian Milligan, have over twenty-five chapters in preparation. However, there are a few areas where we are soliciting additional chapters to round out our handbook. The focus of the chapters needs to be on the subject of Web history. * Business histories of the Web; * Web governance; * E-Literature or Web Art; * History of online social media; * Dot-com Start-ups * Memes * Hacking and Activism * Video on the Web * Asia and the Web If you are interested, we are soliciting 300 - 500 word abstracts by 10 October 2016. If you have any questions, or wish to discuss a potential submission, please e-mail us via Ian Milligan at i2millig@uwaterloo.ca. Final chapters will be a maximum of 7,000 words and would be due by 1 March 2017. -- *Ian Milligan* Assistant Professor, Department of History University of Waterloo | 200 University Ave W Waterloo ON N2L 3G1 http://ianmilligan.ca | @ianmilligan1 _______________________________________________ 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 20B7A7DF7; Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:37:12 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BFED57DF3; Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:37:10 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 25AC97DED; Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:37:08 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160908053708.25AC97DED@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:37:08 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.320 our scientific exemplars 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: <20160908053711.10115.38487@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 320.

It's not that epigenetics "just happens", it's been happening for a very long time and has just been suggested/discovered/recognized/analyzed fairly recently (may I suggest that 60+ years is a short span of years) with major work being focused in the past 10-20 years. > > With the discovery of the structure of DNA by Francis Crick and James > > Watson in the 1950s, there was a renewed conviction among biologists > > -- especially the physicists and engineers turned biologists like > > Crick --“ that what was needed was a ruthless reductionism....

This would not be the first, nor will it be the last case of hype. IMHO it did provide a major boost towards understanding the human genome - certainly a step towards an increased understanding of medicine.

We *knew*, beyond any doubt, in the 1950s that while there were some "genes for" single traits (almost true for eye color, basically true for hemophilia), that many, many important traits (e.g. height and weight) were affected by many genes. > In other words, to cut to the chase, computing helped much more quickly > to drive molecular biology straight into a very tangled thicket of > research. Isn't this good? Sequencing the humane genome, and many other genomes before that, did let us dive into rather complicated situations. Science is like that. Physics was so much more straightforward when the atom (a-tom) was indivisible. Then, later, we had only 3 subatomic particles, that was nice. Unfortunately physics didn't stop there.

I love science fiction, but I'm not sure what it helps to bring it into this discussion. If you are interested in the progression of genetics knowledge over history, I recommend "The Gene: An Intimate History" by Siddhartha Mukherjee. > > I would think that this example from the sciences would raise the > question not of how to be successful like the bio-boffins but what our own > thicket is like.

Can we study words, meaning, values, ..., assisted by computers? Fortunately I have a very recent example of this. See http://www.vox.com/2016/7/14/ 12016710/science-challeges-research-funding-peer-review-process for a discussion of how types of words are used in today's scientific/medical communication. (It's a longish article so search for (6) and then read what follows.) The research would have been pretty much undoable without the literature being in digital form and then being analyzed by computation. (The research cited is from http://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h6467 and http://www.nature.com/news/ novel-amazing-innovative-positive-words-on-the-rise-in- science-papers-1.19024 ) Is this research methodology applicable to the humanities thicket? Perhaps an example from outside science would help? Verbal Style and the Presidency A Computer based Analysis Roderick P. Hart Academic Press (1984) Analyzing Presidential speeches - using the DICTION program http://www.dictionsoftware.com/ (last visited 6 Sept 2016) “DICTION 7 is a computer-aided text analysis program for determining the tone of a verbal message. DICTION searches a passage for five general features as well as thirty-five sub-features. It can process a variety of English language texts using a 10,000 word corpus and user-created custom dictionaries.” A computer generated word-cloud/Wordle can also give some insight into a text or collection of texts/speeches. But that just opens the door to more complicated/subtle questions. The humanist can ask the questions (perhaps aided by sci-fi?) and the digital humanist, teamed with the digital technologist/computer scientist, can work on methodologies to answer the questions - leading to yet more work to police the boundaries between the humanities and myth. :-) Best wishes to all, --henry _______________________________________________ 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 0D69E7DF4; Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:38:11 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1F0047DFD; Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:38:11 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 395027DF1; Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:38:09 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160908053809.395027DF1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2016 07:38:09 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.321 PhD studentships at Luxembourg 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: <20160908053811.10324.39008@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 321.

The first is scholarship in poststructuralist narratology, considering narrative itself as a machine, mechanism or device which develops or devolves agency—or otherwise acquires considerable internal dynamics (Derrida 2005, Ronell 1988). The second is scholarship investigating representations of machines, robots, and cyborgs, and other artificial protagonists in narrative fiction, particularly in science fiction or electronic literature (Dunn and Ehrlich 1987, Milner 2011). And the third is digital literary studies, which employs computational methods, including machine learning, to investigate matters of style, authorship, structure, and meaning in literary texts (e.g. Moretti 2007, Jockers 2013), and conceptualizes this type of literary analysis as employing "reading machines" (Ramsay 2011). As each of these three strands of research approach different and potentially complementary perspectives on the relation between machine and text, placing them in dialogue promises to enrich the work of scholars of each individual line. Some of the more recent contributions bridging two or more of them support this view (e.g. Eve 2016, Forlini et al. 2016). With this call, we are therefore inviting scholars who identify with one of the above-mentioned research areas and have a curiosity for the other ones to submit proposals located at one of the intersections of these three research areas. Possible areas for exploration may include, but are not limited to, the following: · The machine and science fiction, as, for example, in Jules Verne, Gustave Le Rouge, J.-H. Rosny aîné, Nathalie Henneberg, Jean-Pierre Andrevon, Thomas Pynchon, Mary Shelley, Franz Kafka, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Andreas Eschbach, H.G. Wells, Philip K. Dick. · Theory that bends narrative in its analyses of the machine. Possible authors: Hannah Arendt, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Jaques Derrida, Friedrich Kittler, Paul de Man, Bruno Latour, Avital Ronell. · Digital methods and machine objects: How do computational literary studies intersect with texts that foreground technology thematically? Do such texts require or suggest specific methods or moments of reflection? Might these texts ironize or otherwise cast new perspectives on the new methods used to read them? · Accounts of calculation and the incalculable. · Timings of the technological subject from Descartes to Heidegger. · Power and the Machine's Story: Surveillance Studies, Drone Studies, Forensic Aesthetics. Please submit 300 word abstracts via the ACLA website between September 1–23 http://www.acla.org/narrative-machines Interested participants are encouraged to contact the seminar organizers Jeffrey Champlin and Christof Schöch < c.schoech@gmail.com> with any questions. *Bibliography* Derrida, Jacques (2005). *Paper Machine*.

Neukom Fellows at Dartmouth College Call for Applications The Neukom Institute for Computational Science at Dartmouth College is pleased to announce the Neukom Fellows competition for positions starting September 1, 2017. Neukom Fellows are interdisciplinary positions for recent Ph.D.s, DMAs, or MFAs whose research interests or practice cuts across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and has some computational component, whether it be a framing concept for intellectual exploration or an explicit component of the work that is pursued. The successful candidate should have a history of collaborative work across disciplines, but still show good evidence of independence and initiative. The Fellowships are two- to three-year appointments, with the third year extension considered upon request after a review early in the second year. Neukom Fellows will be mentored by faculty in two departments at Dartmouth College, take up residence in one department, and will teach one seminar course each year on a subject of their interest. Beyond that there are no additional duties. Neukom Fellow stipends are $60,000 for 2017-2018. Additional funds are available for equipment, travel, and research materials.

This two-day workshop will take place from 29 to 30 September 2016 at the University of Antwerp, Belgium, preceding the DiXiT + ESTS 2016 conference hosted at the same location. It offers the perfect opportunity for the conference’s participants and other interested scholars to become better acquainted with some of the main concerns that need to be addressed at the outset of both mass- and ad hoc digitisation projects. The core of the our programme exists of two half-day workshops on software packages that may help the researcher automate some aspects of the transcription process. The programme will be completed by 4 (interactive) sessions on related topics that will be organised around these workshops. More information can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-cZb0lhWGfuGS6MYXqX9YxO4nIktM-2P804shjWJxGk/edit?usp=sharing The entire program will be free of charge, but registration is required (before 21 september 2016); please use the following form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf6hVasYsCxawi_U08wWOzuhVCeF_vNEWIFtS7UOITMhg7Pig/viewform The core workshops are limited to 20 participants each, while the other sessions can be opened up to the larger public. Participants are asked to bring their own corpus to the workshops, consisting of scans of both printed and handwritten materials (more detailed information will follow). The workshops do not demand any prerequisite skills, but a basic knowledge of XML is considered a strong advantage. Places will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis, but we will keep a number of places reserved for members of DHu.F. and DARIAH-BE. The workshop will be held in English. Since places are limited, early registration is highly recommended.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 9 Sep 2016 20:59:22 -0400 From: Henry Schaffer Subject: Re: 30.273 precision and accuracy In-Reply-To: <20160818054329.558907D29@digitalhumanities.org> Tim Smithers gives some very nice illustrations of precision vs accuracy. I'd like to give some examples of how, in numerical work, confusion can arise leading to errors regarding precision. In numerical work, we often define precision with respect to the number of digits (or decimal places) shown. E.g. 12.3 is often interpreted as a value in the range of 12.25 - 12.3499999... (Cf. "significant digits" or "significant figures", e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significant_figures ) In the early days of computing, there were many efforts to compute using such ranges, rather than just giving a single numerical result. This has become much less of an issue as computer memory has dramatically decreased in cost, and therefore more digits can be carried. - Changing units can introduce spurious precision. E.g. "This rope is 3 yards long." can also be expressed as "This rope is 2.7432 meters long." The first sentence implies the measurement is accurate within a few inches, the latter one implies an accuracy within the width of a human hair. Note that "accuracy" is used here with the meaning of how close the numerical measurement is to the "true" value. This is essentially the same as Tim's designation of the center of the target the desired result. In this example better computers are no help. - Computation can lose significant digits and hence result in less precision than one might expect when looking at the values stored in a computer. E.g. 98765.4 and 98765.3 show a precision of 6 significant digits. Note that the imprecision of 0.05 is about 1 part in a million. But subtract them, and the resulting difference is 0.1 and the imprecision of 0.05 is about 1 part in 2. --------------------------- skip this if you aren't interested in computational details ----------------------- One reason to be aware of this loss of precision in subtraction, is that one of the most common statistics computed is the variance (or standard deviation) involves subtraction. http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/prc/section4/prc421.htm The second formula from the top of that page is the one most commonly used because it requires only one pass over the data and so is generally used by by calculators which do statistical computations. It suffers from this loss of precision when the data is composed of large positive numbers - squaring them and squaring their sum produces very large numbers number which lose a lot of precision in that subtraction. The formula at the top avoids this, but at the cost of having to go through the data once to compute the mean, and then a second time to accumulate the deviations from the mean. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So we're back to Tim's point. Accuracy is what is desired. It can't be bought by precision - but it certainly can be lost by lack of precision, as I discuss above. --henry schaffer On Thu, Aug 18, 2016 at 1:43 AM, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 273. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2016 21:26:56 +0200 > From: Tim Smithers > Subject: Re: 30.260 precision and accuracy (once more) > In-Reply-To: <20160814073015.18A037C5E@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Dear Willard, > > A distinction between accuracy and precision is, I believe, > needed by us all.

He wrote that, > the examples which we find in history, improved by the lively > descriptions, and the just applauses or censures of historians, will > have a much better and more permanent effect, than declamation, or > song, or the dry ethics of mere philosophy. In fine, to converse with > historians is to keep good company: many of them were excellent men, > and those who were not such, have taken care however to appear such > in their writings. (1791, p. 20) It's the care of "those who were not such" that catches my eye and is the cause of frustration, as I will explain. Two centuries later, in "A Note on Statistics and Conservative Historiography" (Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy, 1966), Barrington Moore, Jr., wrote similarly of his purpose > to caution the curious layman and the fledgling scholar against > extreme versions of conservative revisionism, views which hold in > effect that hardheaded modern scientific and quantitative research > has now 'demolished' older interpretations and that adherence to any > important aspect of them represents no more than an 'affirmation of > religious myth,' a remark to be encountered more frequently in oral > exchanges than in the cold print that compels most authors to veer > back toward safe moderation. (p. 510) Alas for that "safe moderation", as I will explain. But much less restrained is Tony Judt, who begins his article "A Clown in Regal Purple: Social History and Historians" (History Workshop 7, 1979) with gloves off: > As will no doubt become clear, this article reflects a number of > strongly held and somewhat personal views, and it thus lacks much of > the 'detachment' commonly associated with academic history > writing....

In the reception history of computing -- even now, I suspect, but such more in those early years -- academic decorum has buried much of significance irretrievably. Those shouts are signs of fundamental problems, sometimes of course with the individuals shouting but in my experience quite often with the collision of digital methods and the epistemologies of affected disciplines. Alan Liu's questioning title, "œWhere is Cultural Criticism in the Digital Humanities?", hangs in the air. Raw material for such criticism can be found in mutterings, asides, conversations at conferences other informal settings. In the oddly two-minded supplementary volume to their hugely controversial Time on the Cross (1974) Robert Fogel and Stanley Engerman wrote that, > Still more appalling [to humanists] is the attempt of 'harder' social > scientists to describe such intricate human activities as learning, > the development of language, kinship, and political conflict with > equations or sets of equations. To many humanists this effort to > treat man as if he were an atom is the ultimate folly. It takes no > great effort on their part to ignore such prattle. And that is what > many humanists do, except for an occasional snicker in the privacy of > their studies when someone mistakenly sends them a reprint of a paper > containing a mathematical model of the French Revolution. (p. 8) Why is "this effort to treat man as if he were an atom... the ultimate folly"? The historian is speaking here. What would the social scientist say? (Jerome Clubb and Allan Bogue, "History, Quantification, and the Social Sciences", American Behavioral Scientist 21.2 (1977), give a very clear answer to that question.) What is the role of the computer here? What do we learn about interdisciplinary encounters? Comments?

This seems more relevant to science fiction (surely you remember Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics) than to the digital humanities. I'm including Facebook in the scope of DH. Whether or not one considers FB to be in the humanities, it is a major publisher and whatever technology it uses can (will?) be applied to other publishing areas and even to retrieval of digitized works. That has the potential of censorship on a scale hardly imaginable before modern digital technology. A few years ago one could evade automated text censorship by making a .jpg image of the text one wanted to be "seen" only by people and not by computers. (As to whether or not I ever did such a thing - I take the 5th.) That was in the past - and the past is almost past. http://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-accused-abusing-power-facebook-censors-napalm-girl-vietnam-war-photo-aftenposten-2016-9 --henry schaffer _______________________________________________ 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 24A627E0C; Sat, 10 Sep 2016 09:40:35 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 324BF7D98; Sat, 10 Sep 2016 09:40:34 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CD3517BC9; Sat, 10 Sep 2016 09:40:31 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160910074031.CD3517BC9@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 10 Sep 2016 09:40:31 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.327 job: Digital Publishing Associate (Stanford Univ Press) 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: <20160910074034.8610.88063@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 327.

Art + Research E-Pamphlet Series The TECHNE Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is seeking proposals for short works that tell the story of how scholarly and artistic practices intersect or co-create each other in already realized practice-based research projects. We are looking for relatively short pieces, intended to appear online at the techne_lab website and that provide access to an artist’s creative thought process during the development of either research-based artworks or scholarly works that significantly veer toward what might be perceived as unconventional in terms of research results or outputs. We are open to a variety of texts that foreground the research process in relation to art practice, critical making, or digital culture/humanities. We embrace more experimental forms of writing and encourage those who submit work to us to consider formats that break away from traditional academic articles. These submissions could include but not be limited to: • transcribed artist talks • personal journals that detail preparatory or ongoing research components of particular artworks • works that are primarily image-, video-, or sound-based • artist theories embedded in short fiction or poetry • digressive rants or a vanguard manifesto / artist statement focused on research practices outside of the academic mainstream • transcribed dialogues between multiple artists or, when prescient, a self-interview • literary montage or multimedia collage (a series of Instagram photos, screenshots, texts messages, etc.) Our hope is that by opening up the more traditional and institutionalized research culture to creative processes and alternative outcomes, we can productively explore the role creativity plays in the discovery process. We are particularly interested in giving prominence to what are perceived as marginal discourses including younger voices that have heretofore been denied access to the kind of platform privilege enjoyed by more established artists and researchers. In this regard, we encourage contributions on themes and issues related to the LGBTQ vanguard, disability poetics, queer utopias, Black Live Matters, and the gypsy labor force that propels the academic and culture industries. We are looking for five works to appear as the initial grouping of the series. Please submit your finished document or a 1-2 page proposal to tim.roberts@colorado.edu by October 15, 2016. We would hope to have the first works appear on the TECHNE website in early November. TECHNE is a practice-based research initiative in the digitally expanded arts and letters founded in 2000 by Professor Mark Amerika at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The lab is focused on inventing new forms of knowledge associated with intermedia art, writing, and performance as well as emerging modes of scholarly thought. Recent research projects have featured net art, transmedia narratives, live audio/visual performances, hybdrized print and electronic scholarly publications, interactive museum installations, mobile cinema and art applications for personal phones and tablets, and experiments in the digital humanities. For more information, visit art.colorado.edu 2. Art + Research: Call for Proposals The TECHNE Lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is seeking proposals for projects that interrogate the materiality of the book, in particular the scholarly monograph, as it functions in its role of disseminating the outcomes of scholarly research. Our forthcoming Art + Research publication series operates at the interface of intermediated forms of art, writing and performance and challenges scholars, artists, writers, and theorists alike to generate alternative forms of scholarly communication that will serve as prototypes for newly expanded and hybridized forms of creative research. We invite proposals from scholars, artists, independent researchers and other practitioners who are experimenting with new modalities of knowledge creation or activity, especially work that disrupts conventional disciplinary boundaries and embraces hybrid textualities, material speculation, time-based publishing, research creation, and augmented / virtual / (re)mixed realities. We understand that contemporary research outcomes in the arts, humanities, media studies and information / web sciences is situated such that current scholarly publication practices seriously compromise the communication of its findings and are actively looking for creative co-investigators to conceive and execute exciting and challenging new outcomes as part of our efforts to expand our community outreach. We are particularly interested in engaging projects that run up against limited discursive possibilities found in traditional scholarly outputs. Our goal is to feature engaging forms of critical making that foreground methodologies and outputs that expand the concept of “practice-based research” into the adjacent possible. Ideally, each project will find expression or have components in specifically non-book forms, such as installations, performances, net art sites, art apps for mobile devices, and/or event-based happenings, environments and/or participatory productions that experiment with social art practice as a form of community outreach. These events may be hosted or held inside the TECHNE lab at the University of Colorado, Boulder, the Denver-based gallery, event space, and publisher Counterpath, or on the TECHNE Lab Art + Research website. In many ways, what we propose does not come out of the blue and, in fact, is part of long legacy of avant-garde research in the experimental arts and humanities. In that regard, each project will ideally include an experimental process document that will take into account its theoretical and/or historical underpinning and will be enfolded into the overall research outcome. For this part of the proposal, we are looking for manuscripts of between 50 and 100 pages that at least in part would be amenable to book form, but that would also appear online, ideally with added components of born-digital material. These hybridized print and electronic publications will form the Art + Research book series which will appear on the TECHNE lab website and be co-published as a limited edition print book by the Denver-based Counterpath Press under the techne_lab imprint. TECHNE will accept five projects, with outcomes of these projects scheduled to appear in variety of forms over the course of 2017. To apply please forward a 1-2 pg. description of your project and a CV to tim.roberts@colorado.edu by October 15, 2016. Please include budget considerations in your proposal. Applicants will be notified by November 1, 2016.

This event is being organised jointly by the British Library, the Alan Turing Institute, the AHRC and ESRC. With over 2.72 billion users, social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook generate vast quantities of data every day. Analysis of this data can help us try to understand how people think and act. Social media analysis played a key role in guiding Obama’s 2012 election campaign and some credit agencies have used social media data to determine whether to grant loans to individuals. But concerns have been raised about the implications for privacy, security and public trust. Who can access our data and under what circumstances? What can social media data practically be used for? What are social media platforms doing to ensure users are fully aware of how their data could be used and allow them to opt out of data sharing? Should we be more careful about what information we share on social media? Our expert speakers include: - Professor Helen Margetts (Director of the Oxford Internet Institute [University of Oxford] and Faculty Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute) - Dr Jyn Schultze-Melling LL.M (Director for Privacy Policy, Facebook Europe) - Professor David Vincent (Privacy historian at the Open University, and author of 'Privacy. A Short History') The event will be chaired by Timandra Harkness (science communicator and author of' 'Big Data: Does Size Matter?') The Data Debates is a collaboration between the AHRC, the Alan Turing Institute, the British Library, and the ESRC and aims to stimulate discussion on issues surrounding big data, its potential uses, and its implications for society.

Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 17-19, 2016 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, films, and tattoo art. 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.

The Museum of London is programming a series of talks around our video games collection in September-November 2016. The talks start at 7pm at the Weston Theatre of the museum. You can book your tickets now! 1. London and the history of video games [ 26th September] https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/museum-london/event-detail?id=88408 This talk will look into depictions of London in video games from historic to modern video games and from British to non-British developers. The Museum of London is currently engaged in a new, experimental collecting project which encompasses all digital media including film/video, sound, social media, and the web. The focus of the current digital collecting area is around Video Games. MoL has acquired 18 video games that represent or misrepresent London in their narrative. A collection that spans from 1982-2000 and highlights the depiction of London as a place and as a concept. But how is a city represented in the digital world? In a video game? A city is more than bridges, money, buildings and cables, more even than the social networks, lives and institutions within it. Cities are fluid entities that evolve and expand ceaselessly. Videogames, because they are experienced through motion and activity, have the capacity to depict a range of urban structures, representations, and systems. Speakers: Jack Gosling (freelance writer for the Londonist) Jordan Webber (freelance journalist specialising in games) Tristan Donovan (Author of the acclaimed Replay: The History of Video Games and writes about games for The Times, Stuff, Eurogamer and Gamasutra) 2. Video Games and Architecture: Cities in virtual worlds [24th October] https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/museum-london/event-detail?id=88608 London is a constantly moving wave of urban transformation and social change. The city expands, neighbourhoods change, landmarks pop up, and people blend in and weave the city. The greatest preserved feature of London is its own urban fabric. It’s not about the Big Ben and its landmarks; it’s about capturing the essence of its fluidity, diversity and expansion. A place without boundaries but with people, emotions and memories. London is an ever-changing city; the city’s skyline is constantly moving, societies are shifting, reflecting its adaptability to social change. The city has been redeveloped through history from the Great Fire to the London Blitz and beyond, creating a palimpsest of stories and memories. Back in 1960, urban studies author Kevin Lynch recognised that, “moving elements in a city and in particular the people and their activities, are as important as the stationary physical parts”. Three-dimensional game cities are nor static environments or stationary views. They are experienced through movement, action, play and immersion. Is the concept of space in video games represented through a three-dimensional simulation and the concept of the city experienced through our understanding of the space combined with our own experiences and shared cultural references? Where the city becomes a place of more profound adventure, fantasy and a crossing point of experiences and imagination? Speakers: · Dr. Diane Carr (IOE - Culture, Communication & Media, UCL Institute of Education) Dr. Nic Clear (Head of Architecture and Landscape, Faculty of Architecture, Computing and Humanities, University of Greenwich) Ed Mascarenhas (Artist) Usman Haque (Umbrellium) Dr. Ruairi Glynn (Director of the Interactive Architecture Lab at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London) 3. Art, Video Games and Digital Worlds [7th November] https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/museum-london/event-detail?id=88609 The first virtual worlds were text-based. Everything in them was described in words: the world, its inhabitants, the objects, the players, the events that occurred, the actions that the players undertook – everything. An amazing way to navigate a city without any visual props but only through imagination and experience. And now video games simulate incredibly accurately replications of the cities and their landmarks, offering an almost cinematic experience to the player. Recently there has been a significant surge of museums focusing on video games, starting with MOMA in 2007 and causing a great debate in the museums world whether video games belong in museum collections and if they can be understood as an art form. Are art installations the new video games? The question of whether digital artefacts, such as videogames, can be considered ‘art’ is by no means a new one. The late Roger Ebert was a passionate critic of the idea, claiming that the ludic quality of most videogames – scores, rules and objectives – prevents them from being subjectively experienced as art. So, games may or may not be art – this isn’t a new debate. What is worth asking now, however, is whether or not art can be considered a game. Does the new wave of digital interactive works constitute the gamification of art? Can we experience art by playing with it? And what impact does digital technology have on this process? ** Before the talk there is going to be a performance game in the Garden Room performed by Seth Kriebel- limited availability: http://www.unbuiltroom.com/ Speakers Seth Kriebel (Artist) Michael Takeo Magruder (Artist) Ju Row Farr (Blast Theory) Dr. Magnus Moar (Senior Lecturer in Digital Arts Technologies Middlesex University) All best, Foteini PS.

This lecture draws from new interdisciplinary research into the history of sterilization, presenting both overarching demographic trends that illustrate the intersectional racial, gender, and diagnostic biases of compulsory reproductive surgery, and the experiences of people whose lives were irrevocably changed by this medical intervention. These new findings are drawn from a dataset that I and my team created after digitizing more than 50,000 microfilm documents that had been long forgotten in the file cabinets of state agencies in Sacramento, California. This lecture asks how an in-depth interdisciplinary study of patterns and experiences of sterilization confirms and challenges historical understandings of eugenics, and highlights the value of epidemiological and demographic methods in historical analysis. The presentation also provides an overview of the digital archive we are creating that will feature data visualization and digital storytelling. There will be tea before the lecture, at 3pm, and a drinks reception afterwards, at 5pm. Workshop led by Prof. Stern (paper to be precirculated) The historical genealogy of the 'gay gene': tracing the science and politics of sexuality and biology Thursday 24 November 2016, 11.30am The 'gay gene' made its appearance in popular media in 1993 when the New York Times published a front-page story on the Xq28 region of the human genome. Dean Hamer and his team at the National Cancer Institute had isolated a locus on the X chromosome associated with homosexuality in 33 of 40 pairs of gay brothers who had 'identical pieces of the end tip of the X chromosome'. Dean's statistical methods indicated 'that the linkage results are statistically significant at a confidence level of >99 percent'. This study had been preceded by research on the genetic etiology of homosexuality that relied on family linkage and pedigree analysis, and on neuroscientific studies that located differences in the hypothalamic structures of homosexual and heterosexual men. In this workshop, I will share preliminary research on pre-history of the 'gay gene', exploring how constitutional medicine, psychology, psychiatry, neurobiology and genetics (especially twin studies) provided the techno-scientific and discursive foundation for the legibility of a the 'gay gene' as a social and biological construct.

(I’m the Reviews editor.) We’ve run reviews of technical histories, cultural histories, popular histories, edited volumes, computer game histories, and even a few films and TV shows. The reason I bring this up is that I’m always looking for people who would like to write reviews. I’m open to all sorts of suggestions and ideas. Perhaps you know graduate students who would do a good job with a review; perhaps you would like to write a review essay that draws on 3 to 5 recent books; perhaps you think that Annals readers would be interested to learn about books from areas where they don’t typically read. As we all know, the history of computing is quite a dynamic field that spills across all kinds of disciplinary lines. I think the Reviews column is a good place to try to capture at least a little bit of this dynamism. I’d be happy to hear suggestions from people who have specific books in mind, or who just want to let me know they would be available if something on a certain topic pops up. The process isn’t too formal or exotic - once I can find a good fit between books and reviewers, the publisher is usually good enough to send a free copy. Reviews are typically 800 words, but it’s not difficult to talk me into more (or less) space if you think the review needs it. Thanks and I hope to hear from you! Andy — — — — — — — — — — — Andrew L.

We might even argue that the history of of consolidating and communicating scientific thought is structured by a tension between two kinds of unruly objects: the objects we seek to represent, and the objects produced by representational media. Scientific media instantiate a wide range of representational modes, from drawings, tables, and diagrams to printed text and script in various languages. In this working group, we will examine the strategies deployed by writers and artists to transform material objects—whether a body, a specimen, a machine, or an observed phenomena—into knowledge that could be shared and disseminated materially as image, text, and/or book. This working group will meet for four sessions over three days (see schedule below) to discuss the tension between the unruly material object and the equally unruly materiality of the objects used to represent it. In so doing, we seek to promote conversations about the tools, practices, and processes of scientific knowledge making across modern disciplinary divisions. What verbal and visual strategies are used to discipline objects of scientific study? How do the conventions of description and depiction render objects knowable to particular communities, or within a specific cultural context? Within any given context, is it possible to identify a “visual grammar,” or “regime of description,” on which scientific knowledge depends? How does the combination of text and image forward, or disrupt, the communication of scientific ideas? What methods of analysis or interpretive approaches might advance the study of images, texts, and objects across the history of science? Interested scholars, librarians, curators, and members of the book trade are invited to send statements of interest describing a particular representational problem or proposing a case study that exemplifies the materiality of scientific knowledge. Statements may address any national tradition or time period from antiquity to the present; those focused on non-western representational traditions are particularly welcome. Participants should be able to commit to attending all sessions of the working group: Thursday, 12 October 2017, 2:00–3:30pm, 4:00-5:00pm Friday, 13 October 2017, 1:45–3:15pm Saturday, 14 October 2017, 10:45–12:15pm Participants should further be able to commit to meeting again within one year after the conference to work toward the final publication of the results of the working group. In their statements of interest, participants should indicate their availability to meet during the year following the conference (e.g., will you be abroad—if so, when, and do you anticipate that you will have sufficient internet connectivity to meet virtually?). Please submit a statement of interest of no more than 250 words by 25 October 2016 at: rarebookschool.org/bibliography-conference-groups Bibliography Among the Disciplines, a four-day international conference, will bring together scholarly professionals poised to address current problems pertaining to the study of textual artifacts that cross scholarly, pedagogical, professional, and curatorial domains. The conference will explore theories and methods common to the object-oriented disciplines, such as anthropology and archaeology, but new to bibliography. The program aims to promote focused cross-disciplinary exchange and future scholarly collaborations. Bibliography Among the Disciplines is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and organized by the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship of Scholars in Critical Bibliography at Rare Book School.

With over 2.72 billion users, social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook generate vast quantities of data every day. Analysis of this data can help us try to understand how people think and act. Who can access our data and under what circumstances? What can social media data practically be used for? What are social media platforms doing to ensure users are fully aware of how their data could be used and allow them to opt out of data sharing? Should we be more careful about what information we share on social media? These issues will be debated by a panel comprising: Professor Helen Margetts, Director of the Oxford Internet Institute, University of Oxford, and Faculty Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute; Dr Jyn Schultze-Melling LL.M, Director for Privacy Policy, Facebook Europe; Professor David Vincent, Open University, author of 'Privacy. A Short History’). See more at: https://www.bl.uk/events/social-media-data-whats-the-use#sthash.5kbcEdE0.dpuf. Public tickets are £5 but a limited number of free tickets are available via the AHRC. To take advantage of this, please send names to me by the end of the week. I’d be grateful if you could distribute information about this event via your networks.

Please see the previously-circulated CFP, copied in below my signature. Thanks in advance for your attention as well as for sharing with any colleagues who might be interested! Best, Alyssa Networked Open Social Scholarship An INKE-hosted gathering 17 January 2016 | Victoria, BC, Canada http://inke.ca/projects/victoria-gathering-2017 Proposals Due: 1 October 2016 Canada’s path to the widespread adoption of digital scholarly practices and principles has been challenging. Scholars, institutions, and their representatives struggle with ways to implement progressive Canadian open access and open source policies in ways that make sense for research professionals and society at large. Even in the national press, we hear about research libraries that cannot cope with for-cost access to publicly-supported research due to the rising cost of journals, books, and even digital scholarship. Other forums express concern about the lack of appropriate, national-level digital research infrastructure. Within this context, how can we work toward networked open social scholarship: the successful realization of robust, inclusive, participatory, and publicly-engaged digital scholarship? Networked open social scholarship involves creating and disseminating research and research technologies to a broad, interdisciplinary audience of specialists and non-specialists in ways that are both accessible and significant. But how can we model networked open social scholarship practices and behaviour? What approaches to the development of workflows, tools, systems, technologies, publishing apparatus, protocols, policies, and initiatives best foster and encourage openness? How do we promote, record, archive, and study the evolving processes of engaging with data? How can we leverage existing resources in libraries and cultural institutions across Canada to provide regular opportunities for mentorship and training in core networked open social scholarship areas? We invite you to join this discussion during our annual INKE-hosted researcher and partner gathering in Victoria, BC. This gathering will provoke conversation and mobilize collaboration in and around digital communication, especially electronic scholarly production, as well as issues of (open) access, partnership, dissemination, alternative modes and methods, and the shift from prototype to production. This action-oriented event is geared toward leaders and learners from all fields and arenas, including academic and non-academic researchers, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, librarians and archivists, publishers, members of scholarly and professional associations and consortia, open source practitioners and developers, industry liaisons, and other stakholders. Taking the success of past years’ INKE-hosted gatherings in Whistler as our starting point, we hope to simultaneously formalize connections across fields and open up different ways of thinking about the pragmatics and possibilities of digital scholarship. Featured events include: • Lead presentations by Dr. Susan Brown (U Guelph) and Dr. Vincent Larivière (U Montréal) • Lightning talks, where authors present 4-minute versions of longer papers
circulated prior to the gathering, followed by a brief discussion (papers may be 
conceptual, theoretical, application-oriented, and more) • Show & Tell session, where presenters do digital demonstrations of their projects and / or prototypes • Next Steps conversation, to articulate in a structured setting what we will do together in the future We invite proposals for lightning papers that address these and other issues pertinent to research in the area, or for relevant project demonstrations. Proposals should contain a title, an abstract (of approximately 250 words, plus list of works cited), and the names, affiliations, and website URLs of presenters. Longer papers for lightning talks will be solicited after proposal acceptance for circulation in advance of the gathering. We are pleased to welcome proposals in all languages of our community; note that the chief working language of past gatherings has been English. Please send proposals on or before October 1st 2016 to Alyssa Arbuckle at alyssaa@uvic.ca. “Networked Open Social Scholarship” is sponsored by the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) research group and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council. This gathering is organized by Ray Siemens, Alyssa Arbuckle, Jon Bath, Tanja Niemann, and Brian Owen, working with our Whistler Advisory Group: Clare Appavoo, Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Chad Gaffield, Janet Halliwell, Brian Owen, and Sally Wyatt. Please consider joining us in Victoria for what is sure to be a dynamic discussion!

Review of applications will begin 1 October. If you have questions about this position, please contact Paula Schlax at pschlax@bates.edu. Please also share this announcement as may be appropriate; the search aims to cast a wide net for creative folks in and around the fields of computing. Thanks! Lynn —— Lynn Andrea Stein Professor of Computer and Cognitive Science Olin College of Engineering Bates College: Faculty Position: Digital and Computational Studies Chair of Digital and Computational Studies, (R2155) Location: Lewiston, Maine Digital and Computational Studies at Bates College invites applications for the chair of this newly established interdisciplinary program. The program has been created to advance learning and scholarship across multiple disciplines by evaluating and harnessing current and emerging concepts, methods, and tools in computer science and digital studies. The program is envisioned as one that will attract, welcome, and train students from diverse backgrounds both in computer science and in the interrogation of the practices, values, cultures, and assumptions of a digital world. The chair will work with an established program committee to design the program curriculum and to hire two additional faculty, bringing a broad vision of the roles of digital and computational studies in a liberal arts environment to this process. The successful candidate will have a strong record of collaboration and will be an effective leader and communicator as well as an accomplished teacher and scholar. Further, the successful candidate will have a strong record of engaging people from underrepresented backgrounds--especially racial/ethnic minorities and women--in this area. This is a senior tenured position at the Associate or Full Professor level that will begin August 1, 2017. A Ph.D, use of computer science as a primary tool in scholarship and teaching, and a track record of interdisciplinary work are required. Experience leading or playing a major role in developing an academic program is desirable. Interest in designing a curriculum that builds bridges across the curriculum—including the arts, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and existing interdisciplinary programs— is essential. The field of specialization is open, but over a two to three year period, candidates will be expected to teach courses in all or most of the following: introduction to computer programming, data structures and algorithmic problem-solving, computer systems in society, and computational statistics. The teaching load at Bates is five courses per year with a one-course reduction possible for chairing the program. For more information about Digital and Computational Studies at Bates, see our webpage (http://www.bates.edu/digital-computational-studies/). The College and the Digital and Computational Studies Program Bates are committed to enhancing the diversity of the campus and the curriculum.

Dear list, We are very pleased to announce that thanks to additional funding, we were able to double our number of bursaries for the upcoming conference: Digital Scholarly Editing: Theory, Practice, Methods’. Rather than 5, we can now award 10 competitive bursaries to conference participants, generously sponsored by DHu.F. and DiXiT. Bursaries Successful applicants will be awarded a bursary of €250 to help defray expenses incurred in attending the conference. In awarding these bursaries, preference will be given to Early Career Scholars. Criteria and regulations apply, please check the conference website for more information and guidelines for application: http://uahost.uantwerpen.be/estsdixit2016/index.php/bursaries/. IMPORTANT: Please note that the deadline for applying for these bursaries is approaching (21 Sept.)! Reduced conference rates In the same spirit, we were also able to lower the registration fee for students soon after our announcement of opening the conference’s registration. (Participants who registered before this change took place were of course contacted.) The normal registration rate is fixed at €100 for the whole conference, and the reduced rate is fixed at €50. Besides three conference days with provided coffee and lunch, these fees include a conference reception at the Antwerp City Hall, a one-year membership of the European Society for Textual Scholarship and the opportunity to participate in a number of pre-conference workshops and social events. While registration for these workshops and most of the social events is free, places are limited and starting to fill up — so early registration is strongly encouraged. General information As previously stated, the DiXiT 3 / ESTS 2016 conference titled 'Digital Scholarly Editing: Theory Practice, Methods' is a joint effort of the European Society for Textual Scholarship (ESTS) and the DiXiT Network. The conference programme presents a comprehensive critique of the state of the art of textual scholarship and digital scholarly editing. We are proud to welcome Paul Eggert and Kathryn Sutherland as keynote speakers, and Hans Walter Gabler and Peter Shillingsburg as guests of honour. The event will be hosted by the Centre for Manuscript Genetics (CMG) and takes place from 5 - 7 October 2016 at the city campus of the University of Antwerp. (With pre-conference workshops organized on 4 October.) The full programme and further information about dates, venues, and workshops can be viewed on the conference website: http://uahost.uantwerpen.be/estsdixit2016/ We are looking forward to welcoming you in Antwerp.

Miller (1920-2012), begins his article "Thinking Machines: Myths and Actualities"* with a simile which strikes home for body and mind simultaneously. I makes for one of the very best openers I know: > Some questions are like a cavity in a tooth; we keep coming back to > probe them over and over until our tongues grow raw on their jagged > edges. Hold that thought (and feeling!). He goes on: > My topic is one of these. It has been explored almost without > intermission for three hundred years. No one could estimate how many > learned essays and lectures have been devoted to it. Dozens of > articles and books sharing the generic titles, Minds, Machines, and > Other Things, are appearing daily. He had, in other words, a question genuinely worthy of his attention. And this leads me to wonder if we in digital humanities have any such powerful questions to ask? Yours, WM *See for Miller's article and its rewarding context: Irene Taviss, ed.

Ess" Subject: Re: 30.346 what are your annoyances? In-Reply-To: <20160917100522.562F37F27@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Great question, of course. But (a) Miller risks understating its age. Contemporary discussions of human-machine relationships (actual and potential, including contemporary accounts of AI, artificial autonomy, artificial emotion, and, in a particular thread as inaugurated by D. Levy [2007, Love and Sex With Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot Relationships], the potentials and limits of such relationships vis-a-vis human love, sex, and eros) trace their origins to the Pygmalion myth, along with ancient Greek myths and imaginations of what we would call robots. (b) As to whether or not "Digital Humanities" have any such powerful questions to ask? Obviously, it depends on definitions. Please bear with me as I take a digression to some of my own work. I've been pursuing these (and related, ultimately both philosophical and empirical questions) for a very long time - well before Digital Humanities began to emerge under that name. Robots, AIs and such are interesting for philosophers such as myself concerned with questions of what does it mean to be / become human? Is there any sort of free choice vs. material determinism? And, what are the ethical implications of our responses to such questions? That is to say, many of us in these domains see robots, AIs and so on as perfect test-beds for exploring such questions vis-a-vis our efforts to realize human (or at least, human-like) capacities and abilities, beginning with some form of reason, in the computational-material order. (Or, as I have written recently, inspired by both a number of Western "robo-philosophers" as well as by Japanese roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguru of the "geminid" robot fame): Robots are especially significant as they test what embodiment means – our increasing recognition of the central importance of embodiment in human being, existence, communication. They thereby become critical test-beds for developing ever more fine-grained understandings of what – in the complex matrix of all that makes us human – can, and, so far as we can tell, cannot be replicated by our devices.) Across the course of these investigations - to be further pursued in a significant research project involving Ishiguru, among others - I think we've come up with some well informed and significant responses. Most briefly, based on current states of the art in AI and artificial emotions, the consensus seems to be that we will _not_ be able to create AIs and robots with first-person phenomenal consciousness and thus real emotion, including sexual desire: the latter, however, are critical components to human experiences of love and especially eros as something more than "plain sex" or "good sex", however enjoyable and interesting these last may be. A further upshot, from a virtue ethics - and, I would venture, a humanistic - perspective is that (as we have known for a very long time in the humanities) to be human, most especially in the domains of love, eros, intimacy, and friendship, requires the cultivation of basic virtues, including empathy, perseverance, patience, and loving itself. Failure to cultivate these would mean, in effect, no real difference between us and the robots we create, as incapable of such virtues (though of course, they can be faked in persuasive and sometimes therapeutic ways). But, finally, such responses are always open to further critique and revision, especially vis-a-vis any further developments within AI and robotics (part of the point of the research project I mentioned: more information about it can be found here: Now: I have every confidence that all of this fits classical humanistic and philosophical interests (though it must be acknowledged that the majority of contemporary professional philosophers, at least the self-identified analytic philosophers, will reject all of this as both wrong-headed in general [more continental than analytic] and much too empirical in particular). It would also seem to shade towards "digital humanities" insofar as we are focusing on various forms of digital technologies, including the actual programming of AIs and robots. But when I read what appears to be a canonical definition of digital humanities (should there be such a thing?): Digital Humanities is an important multidisciplinary field, undertaking research at the intersection of digital technologies and humanities. It aims to produce applications and models that make possible new kinds of research, both in the humanities disciplines and in computer science and its allied technologies. It also studies the impact of these techniques on cultural heritage, memory institutions, libraries, archives and digital culture. (UCL information studies department, http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dis/taught/pg/tmadhmsing01 ) - on a charitable reading, my work (along with many others) might fit? If so - then, yes, DH does have such powerful questions, at least including these basic philosophical and humanistic ones. If not - well, then (a) I'm not a digital humanist (which I've pretty well suspected for some time in any case) and (b) I'm not sure where this leaves DH if it is not able to take up such questions as these? I genuinely don't know, which is why I'm taking the trouble to respond so extensively, and will very much look forward to any responses, comments, and critiques.

In-Reply-To: <20160418053749.E8F08CDC@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, Some of My Best Friends Gloss On Sven Birkerts (again). We can expect that curricula will be further streamlined, and difficult texts in the humanities will be pruned and glossed. One need only compare a college textbook from twenty years ago to its contemporary version. A poem by Milton, a play by Shakespeare -- one can hardly find the text among the explanatory notes nowadays. Fewer and fewer people will be able to contend with so-called masterworks of literature or ideas. Hmmm. Mr. Birkerts in this essay ("Into the Electronic Millennium") in The Gutenberg Elegies equates the presence of a critical apparatus with a reader needing guidance and by implication that the lack of a critical apparatus with a reader or readers without need for guidance. Twenty years before his writing (1994) was also the era of Coles Notes still available 20 years after Birkerts's book appeared. Evidently there are other factors at work in the proliferation of texts with notes. For one as costs of producing annotated editions goes down we get more of them. Fear not the call for unadorned text has been heard.

It has on-site parking, and there are bus stops nearby. This immersive 3D exhibition and associated colloquium will appeal to those with interests in endangered cultural heritage and its preservation, in 3D visualisation, in digital humanities, in medieval and religious art, in Near Eastern history, early Christian history, theology, and social justice. The Julfa Cemetery Digital Repatriation Project is creating a virtual reconstruction of the ancient Armenian cemetery at Julfa, completely destroyed by Azeri troops in the first five years of this century. The project has been undertaken to restore dignity to the deceased inhabitants of Julfa Cemetery and ensure the public memory of Armenia’s cultural heritage. This includes its 'repatriation' to people of Armenian extraction wherever in the world they may be living, but its significance as world cultural heritage is equally important. The cemetery is also important testimony to early Christian history in the Near East. The project is hosted by The Australian Catholic University which is celebrating the opening of a joint 'Rome Centre' with Catholic University of America. This is the project's first immersive 3D exhibition, based on 3D scans and photographs of about 15 extant monuments from Julfa - i.e. those that were removed from Julfa cemetery for one reason or another during the course of the 20th Century. The exhibition will be available for public viewing in the Soap Factory from 10.00 am to 9.00 pm on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th September. Those attending the Conference on Friday 23rd will be the first to experience the exhibition, with a preliminary view during the conference and an extended viewing at the close, with a reception to follow. The purpose of the Conference is to describe the rationale, work and goals of the project and the importance of Julfa's funerary monuments, especially its medieval khachkars (cross-stones), whose international cultural significance was recognised by UNESCO when they were added to the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage soon after the final destruction of the cemetery in 2006. The speakers will include Professor Hamlet Petrosyan, a leading international expert on the monuments of Julfa, Argam Ayvazyan, whose systematic photography of the cemetery makes its virtual reconstruction possible, and members of the project team: Harold Short, Judith Crispin and Drew Baker. Those attending the colloquium will be provided with lunch, as well refreshments in the morning and afternoon breaks, the reception which will follow the colloquium. Full details are available on the project website at https://julfaproject.wordpress.com/1-day-conference-and-exhibition-rome. For catering purposes those wishing to attend the colloquium are asked to contact Harold Short : haroldshort [at] mac.com. ———————— Harold Short Emeritus Professor Dept of Digital Humanities King's College London Visiting Professorial Fellow Australian Catholic University _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E75897F7C; Wed, 21 Sep 2016 09:31:20 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3575E7F74; Wed, 21 Sep 2016 09:31:20 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3786A7F74; Wed, 21 Sep 2016 09:31:18 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20160921073118.3786A7F74@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 09:31:18 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.352 pubs: Scholarly Editing cfp; a Resonance FM conversation 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: <20160921073120.28270.19762@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 352.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 08:17:49 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: note-taking In the course of conversation after the radio chat reported elsewhere in Humanist this morning, Andrew Prescott pointed me to the historian Keith Thomas' account of note-taking from 2010, in the London Review of Books, at http://www.lrb.co.uk/v32/n11/keith-thomas/diary I'd be surprised if it had not been the subject of a note or two on Humanist, since the topic is of perennial interest. Perhaps this is because how we take notes has no best way, especially since computers entered the scene and software began to provide many ways of re-imagining the practices of note-taking. My own practices remain stubbornly plural, the impulse to try something different always lurking and sometimes asserting itself. This points, I think, not merely to process rather than product, but rather to the core importance of craft-work in scholarship. In their article "Artificial intelligence as craftwork" (In Chaiklin and Lave, Understanding Practice), Lucy Suchman and Randall Trigg write of their way of doing AI that it is, > the crafting together of a complex machinery made of heterogeneous > materials, mobilized in the service of developing a theory of mind. I could easily imagine myself saying exactly that, with some alteration of the last four words, about what I will turn to doing in a few minutes with the heterogeneous materials I have collected over the last several months. In my case the "complex machinery" is a prose text, part of a chapter in a book (which, yes, I. A. Richards called "a machine to think with"). Trigg, some here will know, was one of the three who developed NoteCards, from which Hypercard was derived. NoteCards was in the tradition described by Keith Thomas; it was a brilliant piece of work, unfortunately never successfully marketed. A few years back John Bradley, of my department at King's, wrote another brilliant piece of software for note-taking, Pliny (http://pliny.cch.kcl.ac.uk). I used it for a time, then moved on, driven by that restlessness which, I am speculating, comes from the craftsman's itchy fingers. So, let's talk about note-keeping once again, and how we do it.

Ess" Subject: Re: 30.353 more on note-taking? In-Reply-To: <20160921073304.667687F7B@digitalhumanities.org> In the spirit of plural approaches - there is a growing body of research over the past ten years or so that increasingly foreground the role of embodiment and thereby how we write (and take notes) in creating and learning. A recent meta-study (Wollscheid et al 2015) reviewed available research within three perspectives: 1) cognitive psychology, 2) neuroscience and learning and 3) socio-cultural theoretical perspective. Findings were consistent within each perspective, with studies with a cognitive psychological and those with neuroscience and learning perspective pointing in favor of handwriting. By contrast, studies with a socio-cultural perspective rather point in favor of digital writing - primarily because the digital technologies allowed for more social engagement, an important component for learning to write in primary school. [Wollscheid, S., Sjaastad, J., and Tømte, C. 2015. The Impact of Digital Devices vs. Pen(cil) and Paper on Primary School Students' Writing Skills - a Research Review. Computers and Education, Volume 95, April 2016, Pages 19-35. DOI: 10.1016/j.compedu.2015.12.001] More recently, a study from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is nicely titled "Only Three Fingers Write, But The Whole Brain Works: Is the pen mightier than the word?" - alluding to an anonymous medieval scribe credited with observing that «Only three fingers write, but the whole body works». Using an array of 256 sensors to detect and map brain activity, the study compared note-taking via keyboard alone vis-a-vis note-taking with a (digital) pen (i.e., handwriting). They found that: Sensory-motor information for the control of (pen) movement is picked-up via the senses and because of their involvement they leave a wider mark on establishing pathways in the brain resulting in neural activity that governs all higher levels of cognitive processing and learning. Therefore, rich sensory-motor experiences seem to facilitate learning. (Audrey van der Meer & F.R. (Ruud) van der Weel, Department of Psychology, Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory, Trondheim, Norway). This is consistent with earlier research that highlights handwriting as (still?) better when it comes to developing and remembering complex conceptual relationships, for example. Relatedly, even Wired Magazine has recently mused that "the smart reading device of the future may be ... paper" ( as various affordances of paper and books, beginning with direct mark-up abilities, 3-dimensionality, etc. offer cognitive advantages lacking in digital devices (and vice-versa, of course). In short - balance is everything!

It is possible, and even probable, that > sociology must pass through this stage in which its contents will > undergo a mechanistic dehumanization and formalization, just as > psychology did, so that out of devotion to an ideal of narrow > exactitude nothing will remain except statistical data, tests, > surveys, etc., and in the end every significant formulation of a > problem be excluded. All that can be said here is that this reduction > of everything to a measurable or inventory-like describability is > significant as a serious attempt to determine what is unambiguously > ascertainable and, further, to think through what becomes of our > psychic and social world when it is restricted to purely externally > measurable relationships. (p. 39) The goal, "to determine what is unambiguously ascertainable", provides a most powerful lever on many problems, one that in the best analytic digital scholarship drives research forward (or at least on). It is at the heart of what we call "modelling". But in other domains of digital scholarship such is not the goal. My question is this: since only what is unambiguously ascertainable is in fact ascertained, how can we regard the results from these other domains as reliable? A bit further on in Ideology and Utopia, Mannheim observes the tendency "to attribute importance to what is measurable merely because it happens to be measurable" (p. 46). Could one could render this without distortion as the tendency to attribute importance to what is digitally encodable because it is digitally encodable?

One area where the monuments are less well-known, and therefore less discussed, but no less threatened, is Libya. The day conference on 1 October offers an opportunity to learn about the realities on the ground, and how scholars and heritage experts in many countries are trying to support their Libyan colleagues in preserving several millennia of human history.

Then send us an abstract! It's all pretty simple really. All you need to do is read the blurbs below; decide which session suits you best; and then send an abstract of a couple of hundred words or so (we won't count them, but try not to overdo it) to stewart.brookes@kcl.ac.uk by 28th September 2016. Looking forward to reading your abstracts, Stewart -- Dr Stewart J Brookes Department of Digital Humanities King's College London "Digital Methods 1: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Palaeography" Taking palaeography and codicology as its focus, this session will consider how computer-assisted techniques might advance our understanding of the handwriting of medieval scribes. "Digital Methods 2: Computer-Assisted Approaches to Manuscript Studies" The large number of initiatives to digitise medieval manuscripts mean that we now have unprecedented access to medieval texts. In many ways, this explosion of knowledge can be compared to the early years of the printing press. But how might we best utilise this growing body of material? This session will explore the potential for the computer-assisted study of medieval manuscripts; discuss the intersection of manuscript studies and Digital Humanities; and share methodologies. The topics under discussion will include the encoding and transcription of medieval texts, the practical and theoretical consequences of the use of digital surrogates and the visualisation of manuscript evidence and data. _______________________________________________ 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 108567D7F; Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:06 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2A3C17D7A; Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:05 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A083D7D56; Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:03 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160923064403.A083D7D56@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:03 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.359 more on note-taking 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: <20160923064406.27437.7378@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 359.

A group of us bringing together humanities, design and computer science expertise are just about to publish the results of some ethnographic work on the epistemic process of the humanist, a study that included a lot of probing about notetaking practices. One of our conclusions is that a possible reason note-taking software tends not to replace existing multimodal approaches is precisely because software developers try to streamline the 'chaos' of notebooks, annotations, post-its, text files, images, lists, doodles, diagrammes etc. The specifics of the embodied, multisensory, multimodal nature of notetaking may to be unique to each individual and seldom consciously organised, but nonetheless they are highly refined and powerful, making insight (and indeed serendipity) possible and overcoming the nature of raw materials that are widely distributed throughout a scholar's limited time and almost unlimited space (both of which they manage very actively, if largely unconsciously). -- Dr Jennifer Edmond Director of Strategic Projects, FAHSS and Co-Director of the Centre for Digital Humanities Trinity College Dublin _______________________________________________ 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 02AD57D8B; Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:39 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 015C77D67; Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:39 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 440667D31; Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:36 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160923064436.440667D31@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 08:44:36 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.360 privacy, anyone?

It is just what it is, a set of measurements or an inventory. I agree it's a model, and using that term we can see it's not even unambiguous on its own terms. A model (and a modeller) has two roles: to remain attached or related to aspects of the 'world' it is modelling, and to maintain its own integrity as a 'world' itself so as to teach us something. And as I write this I've suddenly realised that over the last few years of struggling to understand Herodotos' Histories I have thought of them as a model of the whole world (no quotes) which, and this is the important point, he was quite conscious of offering, and that causes the extraordinary tension between the pellucid childlike prose and the sophistication of conception. Anyway, more to your point, I have just been reading Elena Pierazzo's chapter on text encoding in the new Schreibman Companion to DH which captures very clearly the 'encoding - what for?' issue, and hence some of the 'digital - what for?' issue too. Given that even a plain text file (say, unicode, no puntuation, even without word divisions) is still an interpretation: "Even when looking at a clean reading text we must not forget its essnetially interpretive nature. Scholars may decide to agree on a specific version of the text, but this can only be seen for what it is, namely a pragmatic compromise, a workig hypothesis. The use of markup in textual scholarship certainly has its drawbacks, but one cannot easily overlook its indubitable advantages from a scholarly and methodological point of view, the most important of which is the possibility not of avoiding editorial interpretation, but of making it explicit and accountable." However, again as I type and write, I am in doubt about the 'accountable' claim. The markup may make editorial decisons explicit - each word and gobbet of the text is hung with its descriptors, making an inventory of the text - but accountability seems to me to relate to the honesty, and the articulateness, of the editor and remains unencoded. This is not of course an argument against marked up digital editions, which are in any case just fun, as they are traceable in systems modelling terms.

There are also links to other tools like CWRC Catalogue and Voyant. There is an impressive set of projects already featured in CWRC, but it is open to new projects and designed to help them. To see the launch version of the Collaboratory go to: http://beta.cwrc.ca One important component in CWRC is CWRC-Writer, an in-browser XML editor that can be hooked into content management systems like the CWRC back-end. It allows for stand-off markup and connects to entity databases for tagging entities in standardized ways. For more see: http://www.cwrc.ca/projects/infrastructure-projects/technical-projects/cwrc-writer/ Congratulations to Susan Brown and the team that have worked so hard over the years to develop the infrastructure.

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. Jonas Kuhn of the University of Stuttgart, Germany, accepted the invitation to deliver a keynote for this workshop.

The Digital Humanities Summer Institute provides an ideal environment for discussing and learning about new computing technologies and how they are influencing teaching, research, dissemination, creation, and preservation in different disciplines, via a community-based approach. A time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, participants at DHSI share ideas and methods, and develop expertise in using advanced technologies. Every summer, the institute brings together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Library, and Archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond. Described by one participant as an event that "combines the best aspects of a skills workshop, international conference, and summer camp," the DHSI prides itself on its friendly, informal, and collegial atmosphere. We invite you to join the DHSI community in Victoria for a time of focused practice, learning, and connecting with (and making new) friends and colleagues. Fabulous 2017 Offerings (Plus Registration & Scholarships) Offerings for 2017 are the result of consultation with our community about the topics and material we'd all like to see covered at DHSI now and in the future, as well as a call for proposals for courses among members of our community. This year, we're able to have a number of additional courses on offer and, overall, continue with smaller class sizes to facilitate better our learning together! As well, following DHSIers’ suggestions, there is also the opportunity to take more than one course, across two weeks, as well as a host of new opportunities to meet others who share common interests in the areas that bring us together. At the moment, preparations for 2017 are already humming along in Victoria, and our 'quiet' launch of our registration earlier has resulted in courses beginning to fill ... even a bit ahead of anticipated schedule. As in the past: if there's a course you or a member of your team absolutely need, we’d recommend registration earlier rather than later for it! If you've not yet seen the list of our 40+ 2017 course offerings plus our growing group of pre-DHSI workshops (at http://dhsi.org/courses.php) and our emerging schedule (at http://dhsi.org/schedule.php), we'd really encourage you to do so. We’re pretty excited about it! And, in addition to a great mix of classic courses and new ones recommended by our community, we've got some great talks in store from Julia Flanders (Northeastern U), Elena Pierazzo (U Grenoble Alpes), and Brewster Kahle, and others -- as well as our DHSI Colloquium, lunchtime unconference sessions, and much more … including alliance this year with the engaging academic program of the international gathering of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing (SHARP: http://www.sharpweb.org/) taking place 9-12 June. Further, as we do every year, we'll have the pleasure of awarding a number of tuition scholarships. Application is via http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php, and these scholarships cover tuition costs with the exception of a small, non-refundable administration fee (students $150, non-students $300). The absolute deadline to apply for scholarships is 14 February 2017, though the scholarship committee considers applications on a regular, rolling basis and evaluates applications based on need, merit, and course availability at the time of evaluation; scholarship spots tend to fill exceptionally quickly. We’re also hoping to work, as we've done in the past, with ACH, GO::DH, and SHARP for sponsored travel bursaries (!); details on our website. - To register for a 2016 DHSI course: http://dhsi.org/courses.php - To apply for a tuition scholarship: http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php Wonderful Partners and Sponsors We're very, very happy to welcome and work with our new and returning partners and sponsors last year and this -- among them U Victoria and its Library, the U British Columbia Library and its Faculty of Arts, U British Columbia Okanagan, the Simon Fraser U Library, the Canadian Institute for Studies in Publishing (Publishing@SFU), Vancouver Island U, the Simpson Center for the Humanities at U Washington, the Pacific Northwest Colleges Consortium, the College of Arts at U Guelph, the Centre for Digital Humanities in the Faculty of Arts at Ryerson U, Hamilton College DHi, Bucknell U, Texas A&M U, NYU English, CUNY Graduate Center, U Wisconsin-Green Bay, U Michigan Institute for the Humanities, Texas Christian U New Media Writing Studio, SUNY Oswego College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Rutgers U-Camden Digital Studies Center, Baylor U, Grand Valley State U, the Sherman Centre for Digital Scholarship @ McMaster U, Carnegie Mellon U, Indiana U Libraries, Whitman College, the College of Wooster, U Pittsburgh, Greensburg, Penn State, Behrend College, U South Florida Library, History and English, and the Digital Humanities Group at UC Berkeley; project partners and sponsors including the Editing Modernism in Canada (EMiC) project, the Modernist Versions Project (MVP), NINES, the Advanced Research Consortium (ARC), the Canadian Writing Research Collaboratory / Le Collaboratoire scientifique des écrits du Canada (CWRC/CSÉC), the Lesbian and Gay Liberation in Canada (LGLC) project, the TEI Archiving Publishing and Access Service (TAPAS) project, the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT), and the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project; organisational partners and sponsors including the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organisations (ADHO), the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences (CFHSS), the Modern Language Association (MLA), the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities / Société canadienne des humanités numériques (CSDH/SCHN), the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing (SHARP), the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO), the Humanities, Arts, Science, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory (HASTAC), Compute Canada, the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), Association for Documentary Editing (ADE), Digital Library Federation (DLF), and the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).

Submission Deadline: 3 October 2016 ****************************************************************** The large-scale digitization of analogue archives, the emerging diverse forms of born-digital archive, and new ways of engaging with archival material, are resulting in disruptions to traditional archival theories and practices. Increasing quantities of 'big archival data' present challenges for the practitioners and researchers who work with archival material, but also offer enhanced possibilities for scholarship through the application of computational methods and tools. This workshop will explore this conjunction of emerging methods and technologies around big data with archival practice, and examine new forms of analysis and historical, social, scientific, and cultural research engagement with archives. We aim to identify and evaluate current trends, requirements, and potential in these areas, to examine the new questions that they can provoke, and to help determine possible research agendas for the evolution of computational archival science in the coming years, as well addressing the questions and concerns scholarship is raising about the interpretation of 'big data' and the uses to which it is put. Full papers, of up to 10 pages, should be submitted via the conference online submission system. We also encourage submission of short papers (up to 6 pages) reporting work in progress. The submission deadline is 3 October 2016. All papers accepted will be included in the proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. The workshop builds on three earlier workshops on 'Big Humanities Data' organized by the same chairs at the 2013-2015 IEEE Big Data conferences.

Beiträge zur Methodik und Praxis akademischen Studiums. 2nd ed. Innsbruck 1916. A book in the Jesuit tradition of learning. The first edition is available here: https://archive.org/details/wissenschaftlic00foncgoog Different systems of note-taking are discussed in this book among other things, e.g. the collectanea method vs. the "Zettelmethode". And there are reflexions about the role of note-taking and on the history of systems of note-taking. Some of the old books mentioned by Fonck are available online now, e.g.: Vinzenz Placcius, De arte excerpendi (1689) https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_IgMVAAAAQAAJ Famous users of "Zettelkästen" in the German language orbit were Arno Schmidt, Niklas Luhmann (the Youtube video) and Hans Blumenberg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4veq2i3teVk "Addressing" specific "places" in a note-taking system was one of the major concerns. Compare this to the notion of "Ordnungswort" in the book of Fonck and in the tradition he refers to. Then there is a beautiful catalogue: Zettelkästen : Maschinen der Phantasie ; [zur Ausstellung "Zettelkästen - Maschinen der Phantasie", Literaturmuseum der Moderne, Marbach am Neckar, 4.

Peter Dils recently brought a collection to my attention that might be interesting for the history of note-taking as well (our concern was the history of winds and the words for winds): https://www.saw-leipzig.de/de/projekte/erschliessung-und-wissenschaftliche-auswertung-des-meteorologischen-teils-der-weikinn2019schen-quellensammlung-zur-witterungsgeschichte-mitteleuropas "Etwa im zweiten Drittel des 20.

So ist eine Sammlung von mindestens 100 000 Notizzetteln entstanden. Die fixierten Zitate stammen vorrangig aus Mitteleuropa und belegen einen Zeitraum von fast zwei Jahrtausenden."

The AIUCD 2017 Conference will be held from January 26th to 28th in Rome, Italy, and it is organized by DigiLab (Sapienza University), in collaboration with the DiXiT Marie Curie network (Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training). The DiXiT workshop “The educational and social impact of Digital Scholarly Editions” is planned before the Conference. AIUCD 2017 will also host the third edition of the EADH Day, on January 25th. The AIUCD 2017 Conference will take place at Sapienza University, Palazzo delle ex Vetrerie Sciarra, via dei Volsci 122, Rome. For more information, please visit the Conference website http://aiucd2017.aiucd.it/ or send an email to aiucd2017@gmail.com Conference Topics The main topic of the AIUCD 2017 Conference is the use of big data methods, cultural analytics and distant reading in the Humanities. We would like to explore the methodological and epistemological impact of these methods, their application in the different fields of the Humanities and on various kinds of media and digital resources, their effects on our comprehension of cultural and historical phenomena and, finally, their consequences and repercussions on the social and public perceptions of the Humanities. We therefore encourage proposals on (but not limited to) the following topics: * Methodological and epistemological aspects of distant reading in the Humanities * Distant reading, close reading and scaled reading: relations and interactions between hermeneutical tradition, quantitative analysis and new computational methods * Interaction and integration of methods of statistical/quantitative analysis and formal logic methods, semantic web technologies and linked data * Quantitative and stylometry analysis, topic modelling and clustering for literary texts, archival documents and cultural objects * Authorship attribution and automatic text classification * Applications and experimentations of data mining methodologies in historical, artistic and archaeological research * Network analysis and sentiment analysis applied to the Humanities * Interaction between Natural Language Processing technologies and data mining * Computational analysis of multimedia resources: images, audio and video * Methods and techniques of visualization and their impact on knowledge transfer in the Humanities * Problems and strategies for sustainability of data produced during research activities in terms of persistence, provenance and authenticity * Cultural and social impact of humanity research produced with computational methods The deadline for submitting proposals is November 15th (midnight). Notification of acceptance will be sent by December 15th. Official languages of the AIUCD 2017 Conference are Italian and English. However, it is possible to present in other languages if you provide English slides or an English handout. Proposals categories and submission Proposal must be sent in the form of an extended abstract that specifies the category (see below for details) using the ConfTool web-page: http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017 Proposals are invited for the following categories: 1. long paper (30 min: 20/25 min + 10/5 min for Q&A): the paper should discuss innovative methodologies and their theoretical basis, experiences of analysis and applications that are methodologically significant within a discipline; presentations devoted to present a specific tool or resource are acceptable only if they include a thorough critical discussion of the methodologies used and/or a theoretical evaluation of the results obtained; 2. short paper (15 min: 10/12 min + 5/3 min for Q&A): the paper should present a mature research product or a research project; 3. panel (45 or 90 min, including Q&A): in the panel, a series of presentations (max 6) should address a topic from the theoretical and the methodological points of view; or give a critical assessment of the grounding, methods and results of a research project; and 4. poster: mainly for presenting an ongoing project or the technical details of a tool or a digital resource. The conference proposals will be selected through single blind peer review by scholars in the Humanities, Computer Science and/or Digital Humanities. At the end of the evaluation process, the Program Committee may decide to move an accepted proposal to a different category of presentation. To submit a proposal, please sign in ConfTool (http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017). When submitting a proposal, authors must specify keywords from those suggested by the tool, in order to facilitate the review process. Proposals structure and formats Proposals must clearly present the goals of the paper, give a brief state of the art, specify and discuss the chosen methodology and, if appropriate, the results obtained or expected. Proposals should include a short bibliography. Dimensions vary depending on the type of proposal: * Long paper proposals should be at least 1000 words + bibliography; * Panel proposals should be at least 500 words + 200 words for each of the presentations + bibliography; * Short paper and poster proposals should be at least 800 words + bibliography; When submitting the proposal, it is required to include a short abstract (300 words) in ConfTool. For their proposal, authors must use the templates found at the following addresses: * Word: http://aiucd2017.aiucd.it/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/abstract_template.docx * ODT: http://aiucd2017.aiucd.it/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/abstract_template.odt Valid formats are DOCX, DOC, ODT and PDF. Official languages of the AIUCD 2017 Conference are Italian and English, but it is possible to submit a proposal also in the following languages: French, German and Spanish. In latter case, it is mandatory to provide the short abstract in ConfTool in English. Posters should be in Italian or English and in the A1 portrait (841mm x 594mm) format. Posters will be displayed in a dedicated space at the Conference venue; display panels will be provided. Please bring your poster printed, as we are unable to provide a printing service. 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 poster slams sessions (max 2 minutes for each poster) will be scheduled in the Conference programme. “Giuseppe Gigliozzi” Conference Bursary Awards AIUCD will offer three bursaries awards of 250 € for early-career scholars (student and non tenured lecturers) presenting papers (long or short) at the conference. Eligible scholars can apply selecting the specific check-box at the bottom of the abstract's submission form in ConfTool. Candidates papers will be selected by reviewers. Prior to the conference, the AIUCD Board will make a preliminary review of all papers proposed by the reviewers, then will verify their eligibility and compile a preliminary list of a maximum of 10 papers. Then a panel of reviewers is recruited from AIUCD board members, program committee members, program session chairs, and other experienced participants attending the conference. During the course of the conference, one or more reviewers will unobtrusively attend and observe each candidate presentation and make recommendations to the Board. Winners will be selected by the Board at the end of the conference, and the results will then be communicated during the General Assembly. Please note that no more than one winner can be based at the organizing institution.

On the one hand the accusation of laziness and carelesness looms, on the other the biting suspicion of outmoded and quite obsessive bibliographic habits. By far the most helpful course I took as an MA student -- and the only one I remember -- was dedicated to research methods. The professor (who had done his PhD before photocopiers) told us that whenever we had a book in our hands we should write down everything bibliographic about it that we could, as well as take very thorough notes, because we might never again be able to obtain the book. He recounted spending some days in a library taking exhaustive notes on Arthur Lovejoy's Great Chain of Being. That advice sustained me through doctoral work and beyond. But you can see, I'd suppose, the tendency for the chosen works, necessarily rather few in number, to become canonical in a way none would now. Now I have many of the books I need on this very machine (including the Lovejoy), a good scanner to get them there as well as access to helpful online repositories. Sloppy brevity does catch me occasionally -- as it did yesterday, when I mistook my own comments in a note on a book for the words of the author. But quite often not even noting the page-number is necessary. We (in the 'developed' world) speak about the ubiquity of computing. Perhaps we should pay some attention to the ubiquity of sources? Are bibliographies and related bibliographic habits diminishing in importance? Comments? Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2016 08:45:45 -0700 From: "Patricia O'Neill" Subject: Bias in Machine Learning Algorithms Dear Humanists, The following excerpt comes from a piece in Entrepreneur Magazine, http://entm.ag/2b41DZU not a scholarly journal. But it raises a question about objectivity and the problems inherent in science, even science that is mathematically oriented. "Third, machine learning systems can discriminate by perpetuating existing social biases. Biases run rampant in our society. We know that women are heavily under-represented in the board room , and there are significant racial wealth gaps . If you train a machine learning algorithm on real data from the world we live in, it will pick up on these biases. And to make matters worse, such algorithms have the potential to perpetuate or even exacerbate these biases when deployed." I wonder if digital humanists worry about such problems in the design oftheir experiments?

In-Reply-To: <20160926041725.E25E37CF6@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard I think your tutor who said to capture everything about a book was right: I tell my students the same thing because i) it drums into the mind just what are the important metadata about a book, and ii) they will eventually come across books that are not catalogued anywhere and for which the object itself is the only source of metadata. But the question of how to reference is somewhat different. Students are often now citing sources such as electronic books for which the notion of a 'page number' makes no sense, not least because with some of them the work repaginates itself each time one changes the font size. Since the only question that a page-number reference is meant to help us answer is "are those words she just quoted really in this book?", the page number is (for electronic books) otiose: any reader can just search for the quoted words. So, as tutors we should stop telling students to cite page numbers for electronic books. You're right that Googling (or rather web-search in general) makes some kinds of specificity pointless. The most obvious example is URLs: there are no good reasons to cite these in a published work. For one of the journals I co-edit I ran a check on how many of the URLs cited in its articles between 2005 and 2010 were still active, and the answer was fewer than one-third. Since then, we've stopped citing URLs and all online sources are cited by project name and other metadata that won't change when the next Tim Berners-Lee comes along and invents an even better way to disseminate the world's knowledge.

However, I learned about it from a math-related mailing list, not from our DH mailing list! The seminar description is at https://www.math.ncsu.edu/events/Daubechies.php, but since links do decay - here's the body of that notice: Ingrid Daubechies Duke University http://fds.duke.edu/db/aas/math/faculty/ingrid/ In recent years, mathematical algorithms have helped art historians and art conservators putting together the thousands of fragments into which an unfortunate WWII bombing destroyed world famous frescos by Mantegna, decide that certain paintings by masters were "roll mates" (their canvases were cut from the same bolt), virtually remove artifacts in preparation for a restoration campaign, get more insight into paintings hidden underneath a visible one,… The presentation will review these applications, and give a glimpse into the mathematical aspects that make this possible.

Thomas Bartscherer & Roderick Coover, University of Chicago Press, 2011. Richard McKeon was an American philosopher, who characterized his philosophy as a philosophy of culture, but it is also humanistic, a philosophy of communications and the arts, and a philosophical rhetoric. The book Switching Codes brings together leading American and European scholars, scientists, and artists—including Charles Bernstein, Ian Foster, Bruno Latour, Alan Liu, and Richard Powers—to consider how the precipitous growth of digital information and its associated technologies are transforming the ways we think and act. More important, Switching Codes is an indispensable volume for anyone seeking to understand the impact of digital technology on contemporary culture, including scientists, educators, policymakers, and artists, alike. It is an important book. All the chapters in this excellent volume are equally interesting. But, I have found two chapters "How computation changes research by Ian Foster" and "Intelligence and the Limits of Codes by Albert Borgmann" are brilliantly written.

This is a big question, part of the even bigger question of the long-term persistence of URIs. There is nothing in the URI spec which guarantees persistence (and the old URI/URL/URN distinction has been deprecated in current versions of the URI spec). Persistence in a URI depends only on an 'institutional commitment to persistence" (I think this phrase is Stuart Weibel's,; or it may have been John Kunze). Something under purl.org or under id.loc.gov has an "institutional commitment to persistence" which is worth an awful lot more than any amount of technology. Purl.org is/was an attempt to provide such a commitment through standard URIs. It's had its troubles, but it should survive. A DOI in the form doi:10.nnn/xxxx has both institutional and a technical grounds for believing ti to be persistent A DOI in the form http://dx.doi.org/10/nnn/xxxx isn't quite as persistent, but will probably have a chance of remaining good as long as the web does. A famous 1998 source of remarks on this topic is at Not all URIs are created equal;' this is, I think, one of the more fundamental observations about the web. So I wouldn't think that 'don't cite URIs' is the best plan. Instead 'read' a URI and try to assess the commitments of the organisation which 'minted' it. > This is a big question, part of the even bigger question of the > long-term persistence of URIs. And as a brief appendix to this email, just today I received a link to a document 'Analysis and Comparison of Persistent Identifier Use and Integration across Disciplines and Sectors' (doi:10.5281/zenodo.154592 or ) which is about the evolution of the persistent identifier world. This particular document is focused on ORCIDs and other personal identifiers, rather than persistent IDs in general. I mention this because of the coincidence of this report and the topic appearing on Humanist, rather than because this is necessarily the best reference, but the bibliography may point in some interesting directions.

This symposium will investigate the development of intertwining utopianisms in internationalist politics and in the science of information during this period. This span of years stretches from the onset of modern war, in America and Western Europe, to its most horrific climax in World War II. It is also the period during which global transportation and communications systems were constructed, the modern global economy was knit together, and both scientific and humanistic scholarship became a professional and global enterprise. Such developments made the collection and sharing of information and the establishment of accord among nation-states especially urgent, the stuff of utopian speculation, pacifist dreams, and, sometimes, pragmatic nightmares. A striking measure of this urgency was the formation in 1922 of the League of Nations' International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, the primary aim of which was to address and resolve issues at the intersection of information and diplomacy. This period is also approximately the lifespan of one of the foremost of these dreamers: the pioneering information scientist Paul Otlet. Otlet, along with his partner, the Belgian statesman and the 1913 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Henri La Fontaine, championed internationalist ideals in their campaign to promote democratic access to universal knowledge. In light of the emergence of contemporary forms of information utopianism centered on the internet, big data, and the political possibilities of social media and other information technologies, Otlet in particular has become a figure of much interest among both historians of science and historians of libraries and information management. A principal goal of this conference is to bring these communities together to work towards a collective understanding of the hodgepodge of familiar and strange utopian projects that characterized this eventful seventy-five years. How did internationalist thought shape how information was processed and disseminated? Why did some political and information-sharing projects succeed and others founder? Did political and information universalism always go hand-in-hand? Could political universalism instead be paired with skepticism about information-gathering, or information universalism with nationalism? In answering these questions, this conference will shed new light on a pivotal aspect of the making of the modern world and generate valuable perspectives to inform conversations about political and information universalism today.

Maynooth University recently received the Outstanding International Student Satisfaction Award in Ireland, with students being particularly happy about the charming and lively campus, the close community of students, the friendliness of the teachers, and the small class sizes. Take your Humanities Degree further: Go Digital… Masters Courses in Digital Humanities at Maynooth University An Foras Feasa at Maynooth University, Ireland, is delighted to announce two Masters degree programmes in digital humanities for the 2017-18 academic year. More information is at https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/foras-feasa/study-with-us. The MA in Digital Humanities is in its 8th year, making it the oldest Masters in Digital Humanities in Ireland and one of the oldest in the world. This one year practice-based MA is a transformative degree covering areas such as, digital scholarly editing, data modelling, designing and delivering photographic archives, computational imaging, 3D visualisation, computer graphic simulations, and digital heritage. Most classes have both practical and theoretical components and students learn a variety of technical skills including text encoding (XML/TEI/XSLT), linked data, Java, photogrammetry, reflectance transformation imaging, 3D scanning, hyperspectral imaging, virtual and augmented reality, and 3D modelling. In 2017-18 AFF, in conjunction with The National Centre for Geocomputation we will offer an MSc in Spatial eHumanities. This programme takes an interdisciplinary approach to focus on spatio-temporal concepts, methods, and tools in the development of computational and visual frameworks from which to explore the past and better understand our present. It combines geocomputation, cultural heritage, archaeology, design, and humanities/arts research, providing both a historical background and theoretical grounding to the field, while enabling students to develop solid skills in contemporary digital methods and technologies, including Geographic Information Systems and 3D computer graphics modelling, simulation, and animation. Both Masters offer a practicum in the spring semester with a cultural heritage institution, in the private sector, or with a digital humanities project in which students get project-based real-world experience and develop management skills. Both Masters are practice-based with a small number of students per course, thus allowing for 1:1 mentoring in practicums and thesis supervision. These courses are ideal for students wishing to upskill in digital technologies bringing new methods, technologies, and theoretical approaches to humanities and cultural heritage. Past students are employed in a variety of sectors, including libraries, archives, digital humanities projects, cultural heritage institutions, and the private sector. Fees The fees for international students in the academic year 2016-17 (full-time) are: €13,500 (there might be a small increase for academic year 2017-18).

This is only the 3rd time the conference will be held in the U.S. so it's a great opportunity to find out not only about archaeology, but also about a broad range of digital approaches, tools, and technologies that are being used for interdisciplinary projects that bring together the Humanities, Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and more. It is in the atmosphere that Dr. Volkmann and I have organized a session entitled: Exploring the Symbiotic Relationships of Archaeology and Digital Humanities We are actively seeking interdisciplinary contributions from archaeologists and non-archaeologists--many DH projects are a perfect fit for this session. Papers are 15 minutes with a 5 minute follow-up Q&A. There is also time for discussion at the conclusion of the session. You can find out more about CAA 2017 at http://caaconference.org/ and submit paper proposals at: http://caaconference.org/2016/09/13/call-papersposters-open/. Paper proposals due Oct. 28. At CAA 2017, I am also co-organizing with Dr. Alyson Gill and Dr. Lisa Synder a NEH sponsored Round-table on Advanced Challenges in Theory and Practice in 3D Modeling in which you are also very welcome to participate. This discussion brings together archaeologists, librarians, historians, artists, and more. Please post and forward to other list serves, etc. Thank you. If you have any questions, please email Dr. Richards-Rissetto (richards-rissetto@unl.edu) and see the session abstract below or on the CAA Conference website at http://caaconference.org/program/sessions/#title15. Abstract: Some institutions place the discipline of archaeology within the Social Sciences, others in the Humanities. On-the-ground reality is that archaeology is inherently interdisciplinary cross-cutting also the natural and computer sciences. The rapid growth of Digital Humanities (DH)--intersection of computing and humanities--in the past decade has led to a two-way relationship between archaeology and digital humanities. Given that archaeology is inherently spatial and temporal, archaeology is particularly contributing to the spatial humanities--a sub-field of digital humanities turning to space and time as a means to (re)contextualize old questions and formulate new ones. However, this relationship is not one-way! In this session, participants explore the impact of archaeology on Digital Humanities and vice versa, the impact of digital humanities on archaeology remembering that the two are not mutually-exclusive. As for the digital, archaeologists were early adopters of computing technologies with the first CAA conference in 1973. In the 1980s, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) became an archaeological mainstay, and for the past ten years GIS has infused momentum into the spatial humanities, taking center stage as the spatio-temporal tool to create new methods and interpretations. Recently, 3D technologies and 3D content seem to be explicitly bridging archaeology and spatial humanities with an intertwined emphasis on digital cultural heritage. In this session, we seek participants who are exploring methodological, technical, and theoretical issues related to space and time that cross-cut archaeology and digital humanities with particular emphasis on the impacts of: * computing technologies on exchange and development of cross-disciplinary methods * affordances of web-based and desktop technologies for research * linked data and digital narratives, e.g., network analysis or digital editions of excavations reports * open spatial data challenges * role of theoretical paradigms from diverse disciplines on digital approaches and technological developments for cultural studies Access to digital collections enriches investigations in the field of cultural heritage by opening boundaries to enable big data analysis and foster cross-disciplinary collaboration. To exemplify the roles these impacts and persistent challenges have on potential revolutionary change across archaeology and digital humanities, participants present use studies and archaeological information systems. Archaeologists have been using GIS for several decades, and digital humanists, substantially influenced by archaeology, have recently begun to experiment with the potential of GIS. As the hallmark of digital humanities, but not yet not typically used in archaeology, text-annotation, semi-automated named-entity recognition (NER), and other text-encoding techniques can be used to map place-information out of large corpora or databases to enrich archaeological studies. Archaeological travelogues exemplify the intersection of archaeology and digital humanities--spatial information can be visualized and analysed in geo-browser or web-GIS creating digital narratives, and if these narratives are linked to archaeological data that could be parsed and data mined, they would augment existing archaeological methods. Use cases will clarify the state of the art based on heterogeneous data sets such as text, images, maps, etc. that are often (or could be) embedded in a spatial context. Both archaeology and digital humanities have key competencies that are often overlooked by each other, and we seek participants for this session to illustrate that scholars are becoming explicitly aware that the symbiotic relationships between the two can and is opening innovative research avenues for both. ******************************************************** Heather Richards-Rissetto, PhD Assistant Professor, Anthropology Faculty Fellow, Center for Digital Research in the Humanities (CDRH) University of Nebraska-Lincoln 840 Oldfather Hall Lincoln, NE 68588-0368 Email: richards-rissetto@unl.edu http://www.unl.edu/anthropology/heather-richards-rissetto _______________________________________________ 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 08D487FE5; Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:11:52 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 333CC7F9B; Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:11:52 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 29D6F7F9B; Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:11:48 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20160929061149.29D6F7F9B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 29 Sep 2016 08:11:48 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.381 Summer school in digital media research (Brisbane) 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: <20160929061152.25935.51462@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 381.

Seeking to understand, interpret, and knowingly inhabit the human-built world, we explore what works together, how to construct, engineer, compose, grow, plan, assemble, or design in appropriate, fitting, sustainable, and sociable ways. These are questions of grammar: How do things work together in the motor of a car, in a public square, in a soap opera, in the painting of a historic scene, in a deliberative process? What are the principles of composition in a musical score or a computer program? How closely are things related in an ‘Internet of Things’? What sustains the operation of a concrete machine? Who acts when a law is enforced, a plan realized, a code compiled, a script executed? How do users become designers, how do scientists become engineers, how do artefacts become moral agents? Such examinations of the grammar of things implicate epistemology, social imaginaries, and design ethics. They provoke analysis from the various traditions in philosophy of technology and seek to draw on contributions from history of technology, cultural studies, design theory, anthropology, art history, cognitive psychology, computer science, engineering education, and other fields.

This includes, but is not limited to: - Humanities research enabled through digital media, artificial intelligence or machine learning, software studies, or information design and modeling; - Social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities; - Computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including public humanities and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; - Quantitative stylistics and philology, including big data and text mining studies; - Digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and electronic literature; - Emerging technologies such as physical computing, single-board computers, minimal computing, wearable devices, applied to humanities research; and - Digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula. The theme of the 2017 conference is “Access/Accès”: contributions that focus on knowledge mobilization, public-facing scholarship, collaboration among scholars and communities, open access to code, software, research and results, and aspects of digital humanities research and publication involving accessibility technologies are particularly welcome. The conference will be officially bilingual in French and English, since Canada is a bilingual country: so we invite proposals for presentations particularly in both languages, as well as in the other official ADHO languages (German, Italian, Spanish). Presentations may include: - Posters (abstract maximum 750 words) - Short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words) - Virtual short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words) - Long papers (abstract 1500 words) - Multiple paper sessions, including panels (regular abstracts + approximately 500-word overview) - Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal maximum 1500 words) The deadline for submitting poster, short paper, long paper, and multiple paper session proposals to the international Program Committee is 11:59pm GMT, 1 November 2016. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 17 February 2017. The deadline for submitting workshops proposed by a Special Interest Group (SIG) is 11:59pm GMT, 16 December 2016, with notice of acceptance by 30 January 2017. The deadline for workshop and tutorial proposals is 11:59pm GMT, 17 February 2017, with notice of acceptance by 10 March 2017. https://www.conftool.pro/dh2017/ When submitting proposals, previous Digital Humanities conference participants and reviewers should use their existing accounts rather than setting up new ones. If you have forgotten your username or password, please contact Program Committee Chair Diane Jakacki: diane {dot} jakacki {at} bucknell {dot} edu. To facilitate the production of the conference proceedings, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator, available through ConfTool, which creates a TEI text base of conference abstracts for further processing. II: TYPES OF PROPOSALS Proposals may be of seven types: (1) poster presentations; (2) short paper presentations; (3) virtual short paper presentations; (4) long papers; (5) three-paper, half-panel or full-panel sessions; (6) pre-conference workshops and tutorials; and (7) pre-conference workshops endorsed by a Special Interest Group. Based on peer review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee may offer acceptance in a different category from the one initially proposed. The committee will not normally accept more than a total of two submissions from one primary or co-author. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. For the first time at DH2017, the program committee will work towards encouraging widespread “whispering” – community ad hoc translation and/or multilingual resources, like visual aids – to foster and facilitate exchanges and dialogue among practitioners in the two languages of the conference as well as the other ADHO official languages. Poster Presentations Poster proposals (500 to 750 words) may describe work on any relevant topic or offer project and software demonstrations. Posters are appropriate for projects in early stages of development and for demonstrations of tools and platforms. Poster presentations are intended to be interactive with the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. Short Papers Short paper proposals (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for reporting on experiments or works in progress or for describing newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. This category of presentation allows for up to five short papers in a single session, with the length held to a strict 10 minutes each in order to allow time for questions. Virtual Short Papers For DH 2017 the Local Organizers have agreed to experiment with the inclusion of a special virtual track for short paper presentations. Submission parameters remain the same as with the short papers: proposals (750 to 1500 words) that report on experiments or works in progress or that describe newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. While the intent of this track will be on bi-directional communication, presenters will be expected to produce in advance a video of their presentation of no more than 10 minutes in length, in case of technical difficulties with a real-time connection. Proposals in this category should specify the virtual track in the abstract. Please, note that the presenters accepted for a virtual short paper will have also to register for the conference. Long Papers Proposals for long papers (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for substantial, completed, and previously unpublished research; reports on the development of significant new methodologies or digital resources; and/or rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities and what their impact has been in formulating and addressing research questions; they should also include critical assessments of their application in the humanities. Papers that concentrate on a particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include critical assessments of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the literature. Multiple Paper Sessions These consist usually of one 90-minute panel of four to six speakers or three long papers on a single theme. For DH 2017, we also invite proposals for one 45-minute panel of two to three speakers. Panel organizers should submit an abstract of 750 to 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. All paper session organizers should submit a statement of approximately 500 words describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750 to 1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session. Papers that are submitted as part of a special session may not be submitted individually for consideration in another category. Since the conference offers an important occasion to attract new scholars to specific research areas, those submitting proposals for panels and paper sessions are advised to ensure that the constitution of the panel either reflects the constitution of the field and/or research topic that is being addressed or explicitly address problems in that area. In case the proposer’s own network is too limited, the Program Committee can advise them on whom to contact to broaden the panel. Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of participants. Workshop proposals may take many forms, including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, as well as proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen. Proposals should provide the following information: - Title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); - Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; - Description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and - Special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: - A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half-day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: - Intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one-and-a-half days); - Proposed budget (as workshops are expected to be self-financing); and - If the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. Workshops endorsed by a SIG: Workshops endorsed by a SIG and focused on a topic related to the concerned SIG are required to follow the same instructions as other workshops, but proposers should also note that: - They have to be endorsed by a SIG - The deadline application is earlier (see above) - They should have at least 10 confirmed participants III: ADHO CONFERENCE CODE OF CONDUCT The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) is dedicated to creating a safe, respectful, and collegial conference environment for the benefit of everyone who attends and for the advancement of research and scholarship in fields supported by our constituent organizations. The ADHO Digital Humanities conference Code of Conduct is available at http://adho.org/administration/conference-coordinating-program-committee/adho-conference-code-conduct . IV: VENUE AND THEME DH2017 will take place in Montréal, Canada, and is hosted jointly by McGill University and Université de Montréal. The local organizers are Stéfan Sinclair and Michael Sinatra. This is the first time that the annual conference will be officially bilingual in French and English, which befits the world’s second Francophone city. The theme of “Access/Accès” underscores the conference organizers’ commitment to making the event more attainable financially, linguistically, and logistically for digital humanities scholars.

It should have come out long before this, in March, but a disaster last year and a change of publishers resulted in delays. See http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/yisr20/41/1?nav=tocList for the contents. It is an issue dedicated to interdisciplinary work explicitly, that produced by beneficiaries of the Andrea von Braun Stiftung, whose Managing Director, Christoph-Friedrich von Braun, is the guest editor. In addition I took the opportunity to add an editorial of my own, on "ISR's Intellectual Project" -- a rather grand title, I know, but one my predecessor suggested, and woke me up to the fact that the journal has developed one. Many years' pondering what digital and humanities have to do with each other has had much to do with its formation. I hope you enjoy the issue.

We invite abstracts for presentations in our session "Archaeological Networks: Uncertainty, Missing Data, and Statistical Inference". The abstract and submission link are included below.  Please join us for what we hope will be an informative and productive session covering an important issue facing all of us interested in applying network methods to archaeological data. Feel free to pass this abstract along to others who may be interested in participating.   Where? Georgia State University: Atlanta, GA When? March 14th-16th 2017   Call for papers open until Oct. 28th 11:59PM EDT   Link to paper submission page: http://ocs.caaconference.org/index.php?conference=caa&schedConf=caa2017&page=schedConf&op=cfp   Archaeological Networks: Uncertainty, Missing Data, and Statistical Inference   Organized by Tom Brughmans and Matt Peeples   Empirical studies of networks based on archaeological data are on a rapid rise. So far, the adoption of network methods from other fields has outpaced the development of new techniques and heuristics for dealing with the sometimes peculiar qualities of archaeological network data. Key among the issues faced by archaeologists interested in using networks are the impact of uncertainty and missing data on the properties of the networks we generate. We often must build networks based on an incomplete universe of nodes (because our units of analysis lack current archaeological information or have been destroyed) as well as incomplete information about the nodes we do have (due to sampling issues, different recording conventions, etc.). Further, we often have no consistent way to estimate how much information we are missing. The prevalence of such known unknowns and unknown unknowns suggest that we must carefully temper inferences drawn from networks defined using archaeological data. Importantly, all hope is not lost and these challenges are not unique to archaeology or network data alone. In this session, we ask contributors to explore the potential impact of missing data on empirical archaeological networks and/or test tools and approaches for identifying robust patterns in archaeological networks despite such challenges. Approaches may include, for example, the use of probabilistic estimates and sensitivity analysis already popular in many other areas of archaeological statistical analysis such as seriation or methods specific to network data drawing on the large body of research focused on estimating the shape and properties of so called "dark" networks (common in studies of covert organizations, epidemiology, and infectious disease). In addition, this session welcomes archaeological applications of network methods in general.  _______________________________________________ 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 205FD7F76; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:18:55 +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 35CEA7D8E; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:18:54 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B75A27F39; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:18:51 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161006061851.B75A27F39@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:18:51 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.388 flowcharts?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2016 07:09:41 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: flowcharts At the moment I am working on the history of flowcharting and related practices, in part to discover what those practices are and how they may be considered related. The organizational chart is an example of a close relation; a map showing movement of goods, services, people is an example of a distant one, I would suppose. But my question here is strictly focused on the fading away of flowcharting (if indeed it has faded away) as a programming practice. I'm aware that there are programming practices in which it would never occur to the programmer to use one. I'd suppose that flowchart-like whiteboard sketches are still used to think through a programming design. What I am supposing has gone for good is the detailed flowchart made before a programming task begins, except perhaps in a large organization where the programming is divided into separate groups. In situations in which a programmer and a client meet to work out what might be done, does the flowchart ever come into use as a medium of thinking through the computational process? In the good/bad old days technically minded academics occasionally published flowcharts in their papers, e.g. in Dell Hymes, ed., The Use of Computers in Anthropology (The Hague: Mouton, 1965). I'd be very surprised if that has happened this century but would love to be contradicted. Can anyone help with real-life experience? I'd especially like to know what anyone thinks a flowchart communicates -- tacitly, subliminally as well as explicitly and rationally -- to the non-technically minded scholar. Thanks very much.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 5 Oct 2016 19:51:47 +0100 From: Julianne Nyhan Subject: Enlightenment Architectures: Sir Hans Sloane's catalogues of his collections Dear Friends and Colleagues: We are delighted to be able to announce the inception of Enlightenment Architectures: Sir Hans Sloane's catalogues of his collections, a new research project based at the British Museum in collaboration with the Department of Information Studies at University College London. 'Enlightenment Architectures' will start on 3 October 2016 and will run for three years until 30 September 2019. The project has received generous funding from the Leverhulme Trust in the form of a Research Project Grant totalling £332,552 awarded to the British Museum, where Dr Kim Sloan is the Principal Investigator. The Co-Investigator on the project is Dr Julianne Nyhan and the Senior Research Assistant is Dr Martha Fleming. The grant will also accommodate two Post Doctoral Research Assistantships and one Doctoral Studentship. The call for applications for the PDRA positions are live now on the British Museum jobs website: Post Doctoral Research Assistant: Enlightenment Architectures (x2) http://goo.gl/z7XSdJ . The call for applications for the Doctoral Studentship will appear shortly on the University College London jobs website. The objective of Enlightenment Architectures: Sir Hans Sloane’s catalogues of his collections is to understand the intellectual structures of Sloane’s own manuscript catalogues of his collections and with them the origins of the Enlightenment disciplines and information management practices they helped to shape. The project will employ a pioneering interdisciplinary combination of curatorial, traditional humanities and Digital Humanities research to examine Sloane’s catalogues which reveal the way in which he and his contemporaries collected, organised and classified the world, through their descriptions, cross-references and codes. The project will draw on the research framework that emerged from the 2012 AHRC-funded 'Sloane's Treasures' workshops, and findings will make significant contributions to histories of information science, histories of collections, and philosophy of knowledge, and will benefit a wide range of other disciplines as well. Six manuscript catalogues created from 1680 to 1753 and selected from across the three institutions now holding Sloane's materials – the British Museum, the British Library, and the Natural History Museum – will be transcribed and closely analysed by the interdisciplinary research team with the assistance of curatorial support from those three institutions. Regular workshops between curators, humanities researchers, and digital humanities practitioners will produce a deeper understanding of the structure and content of the catalogues. This will be disseminated through: - scholarly publications and conference contributions - focused workshops and a project website - a prototype linked data ontology for use in digital analysis of early modern collections We look forward to communicating with you about our work, and welcome contributions from the wide-ranging scholarly communities whose disciplines will participate in and benefit from this research. We ask you to assist us in disseminating the announcements for the two Post Doctoral Research Associateships and the Doctoral Studentship, and would ask you to alert colleagues and students who are eligible and appropriate to apply. As this is a Leverhulme Grant, the Doctoral Studentship is open to the EU as well as to UK applicants. The Research Associateships are open to international applicants.

Clara will be missed for the infectious sense of joy she brought to every social gathering and workplace she graced. She will be valued for the care with which she nurtured the research of others in her work with the IU Bloomington Office of the Vice Provost for Research. And she will be prized for the passion she possessed for the digital humanities, particularly the The EVIA Digital Archive Project. Clara Henderson earned her MA in 1995 and her Ph.D. in 2009 in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University. Her dissertation was entitled “Dance Discourse in the Music and Lives of Presbyterian Mvano Women in Southern Malawi” and was awarded the Esther L. Kinsley prize for the outstanding dissertation in the humanities at Indiana University that year. She went on to play a major role in the EVIA (Ethnographic Video for Instruction and Analysis) project, which was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, as well as Indiana University and the University of Michigan. More recently she was appointed as Associate Director of the Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities in the Office of the Vice Provost for Research. She advised faculty on grants in the area of the arts and humanities, particularly in the digital humanities. She also taught several classes in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. A memorial service will be arranged and announced at a later date. _______________________________________________ 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 6B4147FA3; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:27:37 +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 7403C7F39; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:27:36 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 77D1F7D8E; Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:27:34 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161006062734.77D1F7D8E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2016 08:27:34 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.392 pubs: Living with(in) digital technology 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: <20161006062736.11983.88479@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 392.

Call for Papers Living with(in) digital technology Deadline for manuscript submission: November 1st, 2016 We invite research articles and notes that explore how we live with(in) digital technology, and we welcome texts from multiple disciplines and genres. Send manuscripts at compaso@compaso.eu Our reality is visibly and invisibly transformed through digital technology. Digitally mediated information flows structure increasingly deeper and broader layers of daily and professional lives. We live with and within the omnipresence of Wikipedia, Google Maps and Facebook – to name just the tip of the iceberg. Computational power is mobile, but increasingly fixed on our persons, from bags and pockets, to wrists and, occasionally, glasses. Information technology has gradually become an infrastructure, an ambient and a part of our extended, distributed selves. We invite authors to reflect on the significance of digital technologies for our daily and professional lives, addressing questions such as the following – or any other related topics: · How are our experiences of time and place modified through digital technology? What about our experiences of friendship and relatedness, familiarity and awareness, membership and individuality? · How are social sciences shaped by widespread use of technology in generating traces of human behavior, collecting and analyzing big and small data? · How is authorship redefined in an era of human-technological collaboration – in diverse fields such as arts, sciences, blogging, wiki contributing, coding? · How is cognition and knowledge shaped in the interplay of humans and computers, and in the distributed networks of digitally mediated collaborative networks? · How does digital technology modify our relationships with different forms of information – such as medical advice, navigation tips, scientific publication, or knowledge of other persons? · What of our lives becomes more transparent and what becomes more opaque, in the interplay of surveillance and pursuits of privacy? · What are the shifting boundaries of the ‘real world’ as the counterpart of the digital worlds we visit – from gameworlds and virtual realities to augmented landscapes and continuous flows of digital snippets? · What are the ethical experiences and issues raised by our increased entanglements with digital technology? · How is digital technology socially stratified? Which are the digital gaps that constitute and reconstitute social stratification and mobility? What are the distinctive patterns of use and ignorance of technology for certain categories of people, such as children, young men, or older women? _______________________________________________ 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 D1B698092; Fri, 7 Oct 2016 07:50:43 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 09D38808D; Fri, 7 Oct 2016 07:50:43 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4CC83808C; Fri, 7 Oct 2016 07:50:40 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161007055040.4CC83808C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2016 07:50:40 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.393 flowcharts 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: <20161007055043.13668.73191@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 393.

In-Reply-To: I was encouraged to create flowcharts when I first learned computer science starting in 1969 and I felt they were a waste of time. When I learned of data flow diagrams I felt dissatisfied as well. I think that the problem with both of them is that nearly all processes are about how both data and control flow and focusing on only one at a time is rarely helpful.

In-Reply-To: <20161006061851.B75A27F39@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, an interesting question. My instinctive response would be, that flow-charting has simply been replaced by UML notations (some of which clearly show flow-charting inheritance). I know from reviewing activities, that at least in the cultural heritage sector (digital libraries of all stripes plus preservation) UML diagrams are in the meantime quite frequent in - for obvious reasons unquotable -funding applications. Admittedly they seem not yet to have made it very much into publications: Nevertheless at DH2016 Fujimoto and Horiuchi, "Standardized Digital workflow for Archiving Local Knowledge" (see volume of abstracts, p. 519 ff.) use an UML activity diagram and refer more generally to UML. While this comes clearly from the digital archives background already referred to, in the same volume Neuber, "Stefan George Digital: Exploring Typography In a Digital Scholarly Edition", p. 637, refers to UML in a more general, though somewhat opaque way to UML as a candidate for modeling typographical information. My assumption would be, that flow charts have morphed into various types of UML diagrams not only in software technology, but also in the way software technology is reflected within interdisciplinary writing. So it might be worthwhile not only to look for flowcharts in the strict sense, but also to their inheritance. Best, Manfred -- Prof. em.

In-Reply-To: <20161006061851.B75A27F39@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard I think flowcharts must be judged to be helpfully communicative to the non-technical scholar, since they remain in use to help all sorts of people reach a decision. For example, the Committee on Publication Ethics has a bunch of them on their website to help journal editors decide what to do if they suspect plagiarism or other malpractice in a submission. Likewise, the Higher Education Funding Council for England recently used a flowchart to help academics decide which open access regulations applied to each of their publications. But I guess you might not consider these to be true 'flowcharts' in the programming sense because (unless the designer really screwed up) they do not include reiteration of any one action. They are more like 'decision trees' used in Machine Learning. I can report that I know non-technical people who have found the above two examples very helpful in communicating a complex set of rules.

You asked with your final comment: > Can anyone help with real-life experience? I'd especially like to know > what anyone thinks a flowchart communicates -- tacitly, subliminally as > well as explicitly and rationally -- to the non-technically minded scholar. I would assume there must be some need for this kind of diagramming, becaues there is even an application which contains as part of its functionality flowcharting in the narrow scope / sense you are thinking about it: I stored somewhere in my apartment in Slovenia even an old green plastic model with the basic shapes for the flowcharting – to be used together with a pencil when drawing the flowchart on the paper. My aunt used it at her job somewhere at the end of the 60-ies or at the beginning of the 70-ies when she was employed at an automotive factory in Maribor. An IBM-mainframe computer was used at that time to support the economic policy of the factory. Unfortunately, I have no idea how she used the flowcharts and what was the relation between the uses of flowcharts and the mainframe. She gave me this model as a gift more than 40 years ago.

The increasing dependence of universities on temporary teaching staff and the paucity of "alt-ac" positions have dominated conversations about precarious labour and the changing nature of early career researchers. However, early career researchers in precarious situations frequently win grants and lead major research projects. Research also happens in the precariat. Addressing this gap in the conversation, we propose to examine the means by which research in the precariat contributes substantially to the body of original, essential research in academic professions. ACCUTE has been at the forefront of discussions on the precarity of academic labour. In turn, the digital humanities community, spearheaded in Canada by CSDH-SCHN, has concentrated on alt-ac positions and collaborative work as possible responses to the crisis of academic labour. These associations constitute a vibrant community of early career researchers whose experiences provide insight into how research is accomplished in the changing academy. We seek papers that respond to these and other topics: * access and use of resources, including digital and financial; * the impact of changing modes of publication and dissemination; * recognition, honours, and rewards for researchers across labour categories; * extra-institutional support. Please send the following required documents by November 1, 2016 to: Emily Murphy (5em18@queensu.ca) and Dr. Lai-Tze Fan (laitze.fan@concordia.ca). * A 300- to 500-word proposal (with NO identifying marks of any kind) * A 100-word abstract * A 50-word bio * A 2017-proposal-info-sheet (found here: https://accutecanada.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/2017-proposal-info-shee... ) * An abridged CV (max 2 pages) listing research activity Please note: the CV shall have no bearing on the selection process except to ensure that the panel meets the diverse concerns of early career researchers. Also, the CV will not be disseminated to other parties.

Much social media research has identified the positive opportunities of using social media; for example, how people use social media to form support groups online, participate in political uprising, raise money for charities, extend teaching and learning outside the classroom, etc. However, mirroring offline experiences, we have also seen social media being used to spread propaganda and misinformation, recruit terrorists, live stream criminal activities, reinforce echo chambers by politicians, and perpetuate hate and oppression (such as racist, sexist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic behaviour). Furthermore, behind the posts are algorithms, power structures, commercial interests and other factors that surreptitiously influence our experiences on social media. So, we ask: * What does it actually mean to use social media for social good? * How can social media be further leveraged for social justice? What are the threats to meaningful participation and how can we overcome these threats? * What do we know about the 4 W's of who, what, why, where (and how) do people engage in anti-social behaviour online? * What theoretical and methodological tools can we use to study anti-social behaviour? Can we detect such behaviour automatically? * What are the ethics of algorithms (inclusion, accessibility, data discrimination, bots)? * What are the legal, policy, privacy, and ethical implications of using social big data? * Considering the proliferation of bots online, can we still trust social media data? * And more broadly, what are the major effects of using social media on political, economic, individual, and social aspects of our society? The 2017 International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) invites scholarly and original submissions that relate to the broad theme of Social Media & Society. We welcome both quantitative and qualitative work which crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and expands our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially those that explore some of the questions and issues raised above. ABOUT THE CONFERENCE: The International Conference on Social Media & Society (#SMSociety) is an annual gathering of leading social media researchers from around the world. Now, in its 8th year, the 2017 conference will be held in Toronto, Canada at Ted Rogers School of Management, Ryerson University on July 28-30. From its inception, the Conference has focused on the best practices for studying the impact and implications of social media on society. Our invited industry and academic keynotes have highlighted the shifting questions and concerns for the social media research community. From introducing media multiplexity and networked individualism with Caroline Haythornthwaite and Barry Wellman in 2010 and 2011, to measuring influence with Gilad Lotan and Sharad Goel in 2012 and 2013, to defining social media research as a field with Keith Hampton in 2014, to identifying our commitments as social media researchers in policy making with Bill Dutton in 2015, to exploring the future of social media technologies with John Weigelt in 2015, to highlighting the challenges of social media data mining in the context of big data with Susan Halford and Helen Kennedy in 2016. Organized by the http://socialmedialab.ca/ Social Media Lab at http://www.ryerson.ca/tedrogersschool/ Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University, the conference provides participants with opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers. The conference's intensive three-day program features workshops, full papers, work-in-progress papers, panels, and posters. The wide-ranging topics in social media showcase research from scholars working in many fields including Communication, Computer Science, Education, Journalism, Information Science, Management, Political Science, Sociology, Social Work, etc. SUBMISSION DETAILS: See online at https://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/ PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES: Full and WIP (short) papers presented at the Conference will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM International Conference Proceeding Series (ICPS) and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. All conference presenters will be invited to submit their work as a full paper to the special issue of the http://sms.sagepub.com/ Social Media + Society journal (published by SAGE).

It provides a cultural critique of computing technologies, by exploring the history of computing and examining issues related to writing, representing, archiving and searching. The book raises awareness of, and calls for, the digital humanities to address the challenges posed by the linguistic and cultural divides in computing, the clash between communication and control, and the biases inherent in networked technologies.

See for example http://www.anu.edu.au/linguistics/nash/fm/flow.html It is apparently unclear to many researchers that there is a workflow at all, and so they want to do everything in one step, or they create files in a format that is not then acceptable to the next tool in the chain. Ideally there would not be this dependence on tools and their idiosyncratic requirements, but until that day, the workflow helps lots.

My interest in flowcharts, for what it's worth, is not in their practical value or expressive power. (On the expressive power of Goldstine's and von Neumann's flow diagrams, see Haigh et al, ENIAC in Action (2016), pp. 179ff.) Rather it is in how scholars reacted to them, esp the negative reactions, when I suppose it would have been commonplace for programmers to sketch them during discussions. It's quite clear from Rosenberg and Grafton, Cartographies of Time (2010), that historians and diagramming have had a long and loving relationship. But, I have suspected, when it came to charts of the flow of digital control over data, the reaction would have been very different. But it seems that if collaborating historians knew about flowcharts very rarely did they discuss the experience in print. There is a fortunate exception for my purposes: Gertrude Himmelfarb's "The Two Nations or Five Classes: The Historian as Sociologist", in The New History and the Old (1987). She reproduces (on p. 52) a very close cousin of the programming flowchart, a diagram of the authority-structure of social classes, and discusses it. She objects to the trajectory of thought it represents, away from historical individuals and events to abstract models of human behaviour -- the sort of models that could form the basis of a program. And there in a nutshell is one of the major problems, if not the major problem, (narrative) historians of her time had with the influence of computing. "Model" is the keyword. Any more examples out there?

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. Submissions must be uploaded before October 31, 2016.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 08:39:06 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: a footnote on flowcharts In his masterful Foreword to Wilkinson's translation of Jacques Ellul's The Technological Society (1964/1954), Robert K. Merton explains Ellul's basic term "technique": > By technique... he means far more than machine technology. Technique > refers to any complex of standardized means for attaining a > predetermined result. Thus, it converts spontaneous and unreflective > behavior into behavior that is deliberate and rationalized. The > Technical Man is fascinated by results, by the immediate > consequences of setting standardized devices into motion. He cannot > help admiring the spectacular effectiveness of nuclear weapons of > war. Above all, he is committed to the never-ending search for "the > one best way" to achieve any designated objective. I'm not sure whether Merton expected us to recognize the phrase he quotes, "the one best way", but having recently read around in the literature of organizational charts, close cousin of programming flowcharts, I did, and it does make a difference. This phrase was popularized by the time-and-motion-study couple, Frank B. (the engineer) and Lillian M. (the psychologist) Gilbreth, whose books, e.g. Primer of Scientific Management (1912) and Process Charts: First Steps in Finding the One Best Way to Do Work (1921), are conveniently in the Internet Archive. Frank Gilbreth started out as a disciple of Frederick Winslow Taylor, whose Principles of Scientific Management (1911) started the movement -- and is also in the Archive. Gilbreth explained in the Primer that, > It is the aim of Scientific Management to induce men to act as nearly > like machines as possible, so far as doing the work in the one best > way that has been discovered is concerned. (1912: 50) See, for example, Brian Price, "Frank and Lilliam Gilbreth and the Motion Study Controversy", in A Mental Revolution, ed. Nelson (1992), p. 68 -- and, of course, Shoshana Zuboff's In the Age of the Smart Machine (1984): > Taylorism meant that the body as the source of skill was to be the > object of inquiry in order that the body as the source of effort > could become the object of more exacting control. Once explicated, > the worker's know-how was expropriated to the ranks of management, > where it became management's prerogative to reorganize that knowledge > according to its own interests, needs, and motives. The growth of the > management hierarchy depended in part upon this transfer of knowledge > from the private sentience of the worker's active body to the > systematic lists, flowcharts, and measurements of the planner's > office. (p. 42) And what about scholarship? Change "body" to mind. Compare this from historian Robert Fogel's 1979 keynote speech at the Sixth International Congress of Logic, Methodology, and the Philosophy of Science (1982, ed. Cohen et al). As Gertrude Himmelfarb said, Fogel was the master cliometrician, the one who would turn historiography into data modelling: > Cliometricians want the study of history to be based on explicit > models of human behavior. They believe that historians do not really > have a choice of using or not using behavioral models since all > attempts to explain historical behavior--to relate the elemental > facts of history to each other--whether called “Ideengeschichte,” > “historical imagination,” or “behavioral modeling,” involve some sort > of model. The real choice is whether these models will be implicit, > vague, incomplete, and internally inconsistent, as cliometricians > contend is frequently the case in traditional historical research, or > whether the models will be explicit, with all the relevant > assumptions clearly stated, and formulated in such a manner as to be > subject to rigorous empirical verification.

There are a few serious ones I have encountered, e.g. in a hospital Accident & Emergency room. Otherwise the ones I find are almost all humorous, in cartoons (to use Scott McCloud's distinction between them and comics).

Dear Humanists, After the completion of the three year project heureCLÉA that aimed at the automation of the annotation of narratological phenomena in literary texts, we are now in a phase where we are reflecting on the outcomes of our manual annotation efforts (for more information on the project see www.heureclea.de http://www.heureclea.de/ ). Among other things, we would like to compare our process and findings to those of other approaches. Therefore we would be very grateful if members of this list could point us to similar work in the field of literary text analysis. In heureCLÉA we developed an approach to the collaborative annotation of literary texts that in our view satisfies the paradigms of Literary Studies (i.e., a pluralism of interpretations, exemplary analysis etc.) and at the same times enables comparatively robust analysis results as a base for the automation. Therefore we are especially interested in other projects in the field of Literary Studies where (collaborative) annotation has been used for text analysis purposes. Our main question is whether (and which) routines—such as guidelines—have been developed/employed for the analysis process.

One of each post will be based at each institution, and will work collaboratively to address the development of systems and services to support the long-term preservation of the libraries' digitised and born-digital cultural heritage collections. These posts offer an exciting opportunity to help shape the digital preservation activities at two of the world's foremost research libraries, and to share with others the knowledge and experience learned. Five of the posts have now been filled and we are seeking a Technical Officer/Research Software Engineer to join the team in Oxford. As a Technical Officer/Research Software Engineer at Oxford you will undertake research and training to build upon your expertise in the technical issues surrounding digital preservation and your awareness of the tools, systems and projects that seek to address these issues.

I'm looking for recommendations of introductory texts -- specifically books, chiefly monographs -- that attempted to make "the computer" approachable and understandable to those who were or might have been somewhat tentative about computers. Examples are Feldman and Norman, The Wordworthy Computer (1987); Shore, The Sachertorte Algorithm (1985); Evans, The Mighty Micro (1979); Laver, An Introduction to the Uses of Computers (1976); Schneider, Travels in Computerland (1974); Shorter, The historian and the computer (1962). The category of book I am interested in does not include books such as Abercrombie, Computer programs for literary analysis (1984), or Oakman, Computer methods (1980), or any of Susan Hockey's fine introductory texts. These address people who have put behind them, or into a robustly locked closet, any such tentativeness. They want to get started. I am also not looking for studies that report on or discuss specific research done with a computer, such as Hymes, The use of computers in anthropology (1962), or Bowles, Computers in humanistic research (1967). Nor does it include books focusing on or speaking from an interest in artificial intelligence, such as Sluckin, Minds and machines (1954), or Feigenbaum and Feldman, Computers and thought (1963). But if you have or know of books which take the temperature of former times with respect to computing please let me know what these are. Many thanks.

Please see below for the complete Call for Proposals. Best regards, Diane Jakacki DH 2017 Conference Chair Call For Proposals: English | French | German | Italian | Spanish Conference website: dh2017.adho.org Twitter: @dh17mtrl Contact email: dh2017@adho.org · Paper/Poster/Panel deadline: 11:59pm GMT on 1 November 2016 · Workshop endorsed by a SIG: 11:59pm GMT on 16 December 2016 · Workshop/Tutorial proposal deadline: 11:59pm GMT on 17 February 2017 https://www.conftool.pro/dh2017/ I: GENERAL INFORMATION The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) invites submission of abstracts for its annual conference, on any aspect of digital humanities. This includes, but is not limited to: - Humanities research enabled through digital media, artificial intelligence or machine learning, software studies, or information design and modeling; - Social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities; - Computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including public humanities and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; - Quantitative stylistics and philology, including big data and text mining studies; - Digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and electronic literature; - Emerging technologies such as physical computing, single-board computers, minimal computing, wearable devices, applied to humanities research; and - Digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula. The theme of the 2017 conference is “Access/Accès”: contributions that focus on knowledge mobilization, public-facing scholarship, collaboration among scholars and communities, open access to code, software, research and results, and aspects of digital humanities research and publication involving accessibility technologies are particularly welcome. The conference will be officially bilingual in French and English, since Canada is a bilingual country: so we invite proposals for presentations particularly in both languages, as well as in the other official ADHO languages (German, Italian, Spanish). Presentations may include: - Posters (abstract maximum 750 words) - Short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words) - Virtual short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words) - Long papers (abstract 1500 words) - Multiple paper sessions, including panels (regular abstracts + approximately 500-word overview) - Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal maximum 1500 words) The deadline for submitting poster, short paper, long paper, and multiple paper session proposals to the international Program Committee is 11:59pm GMT, 1 November 2016. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 17 February 2017. The deadline for submitting workshops proposed by a Special Interest Group (SIG) is 11:59pm GMT, 16 December 2016, with notice of acceptance by 30 January 2017. The deadline for workshop and tutorial proposals is 11:59pm GMT, 17 February 2017, with notice of acceptance by 10 March 2017. https://www.conftool.pro/dh2017/ When submitting proposals, previous Digital Humanities conference participants and reviewers should use their existing accounts rather than setting up new ones. If you have forgotten your username or password, please contact Program Committee Chair Diane Jakacki: diane {dot} jakacki {at} bucknell {dot} edu. To facilitate the production of the conference proceedings, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator, available through ConfTool, which creates a TEI text base of conference abstracts for further processing. II: TYPES OF PROPOSALS Proposals may be of seven types: (1) poster presentations; (2) short paper presentations; (3) virtual short paper presentations; (4) long papers; (5) three-paper, half-panel or full-panel sessions; (6) pre-conference workshops and tutorials; and (7) pre-conference workshops endorsed by a Special Interest Group. Based on peer review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee may offer acceptance in a different category from the one initially proposed. The committee will not normally accept more than a total of two submissions from one primary or co-author. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. For the first time at DH2017, the program committee will work towards encouraging widespread “whispering” – community ad hoc translation and/or multilingual resources, like visual aids – to foster and facilitate exchanges and dialogue among practitioners in the two languages of the conference as well as the other ADHO official languages. Poster Presentations Poster proposals (500 to 750 words) may describe work on any relevant topic or offer project and software demonstrations. Posters are appropriate for projects in early stages of development and for demonstrations of tools and platforms. Poster presentations are intended to be interactive with the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. Short Papers Short paper proposals (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for reporting on experiments or works in progress or for describing newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. This category of presentation allows for up to five short papers in a single session, with the length held to a strict 10 minutes each in order to allow time for questions. Virtual Short Papers For DH 2017 the Local Organizers have agreed to experiment with the inclusion of a special virtual track for short paper presentations. Submission parameters remain the same as with the short papers: proposals (750 to 1500 words) that report on experiments or works in progress or that describe newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. While the intent of this track will be on bi-directional communication, presenters will be expected to produce in advance a video of their presentation of no more than 10 minutes in length, in case of technical difficulties with a real-time connection. Proposals in this category should specify the virtual track in the abstract. Please, note that the presenters accepted for a virtual short paper will have also to register for the conference. Long Papers Proposals for long papers (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for substantial, completed, and previously unpublished research; reports on the development of significant new methodologies or digital resources; and/or rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities and what their impact has been in formulating and addressing research questions; they should also include critical assessments of their application in the humanities. Papers that concentrate on a particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include critical assessments of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the literature. Multiple Paper Sessions These consist usually of one 90-minute panel of four to six speakers or three long papers on a single theme. For DH 2017, we also invite proposals for one 45-minute panel of two to three speakers. Panel organizers should submit an abstract of 750 to 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. All paper session organizers should submit a statement of approximately 500 words describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750 to 1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session. Papers that are submitted as part of a special session may not be submitted individually for consideration in another category. Since the conference offers an important occasion to attract new scholars to specific research areas, those submitting proposals for panels and paper sessions are advised to ensure that the constitution of the panel either reflects the constitution of the field and/or research topic that is being addressed or explicitly address problems in that area. In case the proposer’s own network is too limited, the Program Committee can advise them on whom to contact to broaden the panel. Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of participants. Workshop proposals may take many forms, including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, as well as proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen. Proposals should provide the following information: - Title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); - Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; - Description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and - Special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: - A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half-day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: - Intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one-and-a-half days); - Proposed budget (as workshops are expected to be self-financing); and - If the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. Workshops endorsed by a SIG: Workshops endorsed by a SIG and focused on a topic related to the concerned SIG are required to follow the same instructions as other workshops, but proposers should also note that: - They have to be endorsed by a SIG - The deadline application is earlier (see above) - They should have at least 10 confirmed participants III: ADHO CONFERENCE CODE OF CONDUCT The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) is dedicated to creating a safe, respectful, and collegial conference environment for the benefit of everyone who attends and for the advancement of research and scholarship in fields supported by our constituent organizations. The ADHO Digital Humanities conference Code of Conduct is available at http://adho.org/administration/conference-coordinating-program-committee/adho-conference-code-conduct. IV: VENUE AND THEME DH2017 will take place in Montréal, Canada, and is hosted jointly by McGill University and Université de Montréal. The local organizers are Stéfan Sinclair and Michael Sinatra. This is the first time that the annual conference will be officially bilingual in French and English, which befits the world’s second Francophone city. The theme of “Access/Accès” underscores the conference organizers’ commitment to making the event more attainable financially, linguistically, and logistically for digital humanities scholars. V: BURSARIES FOR EARLY-CAREER AND EMERGING SCHOLARS The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations will offer a limited number of bursaries for early-career scholars presenting at the conference. Application guidelines will appear on the ADHO website later this year: http://www.adho.org. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1A162818F; Mon, 17 Oct 2016 07:29:20 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3C44B818A; Mon, 17 Oct 2016 07:29:19 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E5C6F8189; Mon, 17 Oct 2016 07:29:16 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161017052916.E5C6F8189@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 07:29:16 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.414 events: Preserving Abundance: The Challenge of Saving Everything 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: <20161017052919.25634.70970@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 414.

The CFP has now been released, the submission deadline is midnight Sunday 11 December 2016 (GMT) Website: www.dpassh.org Twitter: @dpassh17 Email: dpassh2017@gmail.com DPASSH 2017 Conference Theme: ‘Preserving Abundance: The Challenge of Saving Everything’ The collaboration between SHL and DRI focuses on two major challenges for long-term digital preservation: maintaining access to the form and functionality of digital objects, and managing, filtering, interpreting, and critically engaging with these petabytes of information, now and in the future. While developments in long-term digital preservation enable ongoing access, the question of how these developments impact the way we interact with, use, reuse, investigate, and interpret our heritage, remains. What, for example, are the cultural and scholarly repercussions of saving “everything”? DPASSH 2017 will, for instance, explore the implications of asking disciplines that evolved in a world of scarcity, to engage with an expanding abundance of historical records. As such, DPASSH 2017 will focus on both the technical, cultural, and societal challenges of digital preservation and the impact on research when (and if) everything is saved. It asks: now that the human record is digital, what methods, approaches, tools, or skills will researchers, and society, require to understand these colossal datasets? Submissions are particularly sought from researchers, practitioners, and scholars in the fields of digital history, digital humanities, digital materiality, digital performance, digital arts and music, cultural heritage and research institutions, as well as libraries, archives and industry. We also invite submissions for papers that critically reflect on any area relating to digital preservation in the humanities and social sciences, arts, and cultural heritage domains. Conference themes include but are not limited to: Preserving digital humanities research; Capturing and archiving artistic performance; Methods and tools for computational humanities and/or digital history; Preservation metadata as research objects; Linking research data and ‘publication’; Stakeholder engagement and community approaches to preservation; Advocacy and national approaches to sustainability and open access; Aesthetics of preservation and content curation; Preservation and Trust; Technical challenges posed by datasets in arts/humanities/social sciences;Preservation and discovery infrastructures, software and tools. We look forward to welcoming you to Brighton.

ACH Microgrants were established to reward enterprising ideas that serve the digital humanities community. We especially value proposals from emerging scholars and DH practitioners that promise to expand the community, create new content or analyses of existing content, or build links with other DH initiatives. Examples of past projects, meant to inspire rather than limit: * The Pedagogy Toolkit * Developing an open-source curriculum for a workshop on closing the gender gap in coding * The Caroline Miniscule Mapping Project * Digital archive of the “Digital Diasporas” conference at the University of Maryland * Electronic Literature Timeline Proposals may be for projects in a range of forms including, but not limited to, apps, plugins, and tools. All microgrant recipients will be required to write some kind of reflective output, typically a blog post, which will be published on the ACH website. Graduate students and early stage researchers are encouraged to apply. Mentorship is available, either at the development stage of applications or during the projects themselves. Those interested in being paired with a mentor for the duration of the project should note in their application the area of skill or expertise in which they would benefit from mentoring. Applications will be evaluated according to the following criteria: * excellence and innovation of the proposal; * contribution of the activity to development and promotion of the ACH mission; * deliverables can be accomplished within the proposed budget and time period. ** Applicants must be members of the ACH at the time of application ** Grants will be up to $1000. These are intended to be small grants that enable innovative activities by community members, such as graduate students, alt-ac faculty and staff, and junior faculty, who don’t have access to the resources of senior researchers. Projects should begin no later than three months after receipt of notification of acceptance and should conclude by 1 July 2017. Applicants will be expected to report back to ACH within three months after the conclusion of the project. Applicants will also be expected to provide ACH with an appropriate Creative Commons license to any content to be posted, and open source software license for any code. Proposals should be no longer than three pages (ca. 750 words) and should contain the following information: 1. Name, background and full contact details of proposer (institutional affiliation, email address, etc). 2. Name of organization (if the proposal is being submitted on behalf of an organization). 3. Narrative addressing the criteria above, both conceptual and technical, with clear statement of deliverables, including the nature of the reflective output. 4. Describe support needed from ACH, if needed. 5. Budget justification that indicates clearly how the funds will be spent (no longer than ½ page). Projects must be feasible upon receipt of the microgrant. Any other resources needed to accomplish the project must be obtained in advance (though they may be contingent upon receipt of the ACH microgrant) and specified in the application. If the microgrant project is related to a larger project, explain the relationship. 6. Date for project start date, date of conclusion, and for reflective output. Should an early career scholar be barred, due to institutional policies, from holding a grant directly, another member of an affiliated institution may undertake to serve as grantholder, provided that the prospective grantholder guarantees in writing that the entire grant will be dedicated to the project for which it is awarded and that the individual(s) responsible for that project can be listed publicly by the ACH as having won the award, with the official grantholder mentioned parenthetically along with the institution. No indirect costs may be deducted from the value of the grant, which must go entirely to support the project for which it is awarded. Please send proposals or queries to microgrants{AT}ach{DOT}org by 15 November 2016. The Awards Committee will notify applicants of the status of their proposals by 1 December 2016.

Of particular relevance to design is digital scholarship, which has been defined as "the use of digital evidence and method, digital authoring, digital publishing, digital curation and preservation, and digital use and reuse of scholarship" (Rumsey, 2011). Each of these activities involves design to some degree. Further, many of the concerns of the field of design are interdisciplinary, and converge with those in the humanities and STEM fields, in theory and practice. All three fields are engaged with critical forms of making to facilitate understanding, explore emerging technologies, and communicate information visually. While all of this bodes well for designers and design educators, we still face challenges regarding how to form, structure and maintain collaborations. Converge: Disciplinarities and Digital Scholarship encourages design educators, design researchers, and designers to take advantage of opportunities in digital scholarship, learn how to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, and find new intersections within their existing research trajectories. This will help us to work together to redefine what it means to be a designer and a design researcher today. We seek a variety of proposals related to the intersection of design and digital scholarship. How can design converge with digital scholarship in more than a superficial way? How might aspects of digital scholarship impact design research? What are the key questions at the intersection of design and the humanities? Other possible topics: * the role of design in generating new knowledge * design and new forms of scholarly communication * speculative design and humanistic inquiry * designing tools for thinking * case studies of successful (or unsuccessful!) collaborations * design and visualization * the intersection of critical making and design ...

Lab for digital art history & visual culture is pleased to announce the launch of The Kingdom of Sicily Image Database: http://kos.aahvs.duke.edu/. The database is a resource of historic images of the medieval monuments of South Italy: Nothing can compensate for the destruction of monuments through warfare, natural disasters, and sometimes radical reconstruction or restoration, but historic images can help scholars, travelers and lovers of art and architecture to better understand the "many lives" of places and things. We hope this database can be useful and helpful in enriching our sense of the remarkable artistic patrimony of South Italy. We will be continuing to add to it in the coming months.

Best wishes Myriam Fellous-Sigrist Call for papers – ethical and legal issues surrounding the dissemination of digital social sciences and humanities data Since 2011 the French working group « Ethique et Droit » has been researching practical solutions to ethical and legal questions surrounding the creation, use and edition of digital sources. The group comprises researchers, information managers and legal experts. It aims to write a collective guide on ethical and legal best practices when disseminating social sciences and humanities data. The guide will be published online. Since 2015 the project has benefited from the support of DARIAH (Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities). Several seminars have taken place since 2011 to discuss practical experiences and to start writing the guide. A series of blog posts has also been published on the project blog (https://ethiquedroit.hypotheses.org/). The first part of the guide will gather an edited version of these blog posts and seminar presentations. The second part will be made of papers selected as part of this call for written papers. The call is open to anyone interested in the ethical and legal issues surrounding the dissemination of social sciences and humanities data. ----------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO A GUIDE TO ETHICAL AND LEGAL BEST PRACTICES: “How to disseminate social sciences and humanities data: experiences and solutions.” Objectives The Open Science movement is part of the scholarship tradition of knowledge sharing. It transforms researchers’ practices and in particular in social sciences and humanities disciplines. Collaborations between researchers enable a better dissemination of findings and an immediate sharing of information. Open Access, Open data and Big Data are now, like social media, embedded in the new academic landscape. At the same time as these technological changes open up new research perspectives, they also trigger both ethical and legal questions facing researchers, lecturers, students, information experts, research institutions’ managers and many more. Law and ethics provide a framework but also a protection for the anyone involved in the research lifecycle. Yet, we need to acknowledge that copyright laws slow down scholarship development and dissemination. How can we reach a legal and ethical framework that would secure the necessary protection of research activities while enabling the Open Science movement? How can we enable that law and ethics strengthen a wide and shared use of knowledge and research data? How could social sciences and humanities researchers implement the current legal reforms? Notions such as propriety, confidentiality, sharing, security, validation of sources and publications as well as e-reputation have recently been re-defined in the context of new research practices in social sciences and humanities disciplines. Still, these notions are key to the research process and need to be better comprehended from the legal and ethical viewpoint. This call for papers has been designed in this context and is open to anyone interested in ethical and legal issues surrounding the dissemination of social sciences and humanities data. Five stages in data dissemination have been identified for this call; each stage raises ethical and legal questions: 1. Preparing the research project and planning ahead for data archiving 2. Collecting data 3. Processing, archiving and describing data 4. Disseminating research findings 5. Re-using data Paper proposals must deal with one or more of these stages of the data lifecycle. Proposals can focus either on * a project or experience involving ethical and legal issues in the dissemination of social sciences or humanities data, along with a description of the solutions found or planned; or * an article on ethical and legal questions and practical solutions that can be used to optimize the dissemination of social sciences or humanities data. All selected paper will be published with a CC-BY licence. How to submit paper proposals When submitting a proposal please clearly indicate the title, author(s), their organisation, along with an abstract and a detailed outline of the paper (4,000 characters maximum). Proposals can be written in French, English, Spanish or Italian. Please note that proposals not written in French must be submitted with a short summary in French. The working group is coordinated by Véronique Ginouvès (USR 3125) and Isabelle Gras (SCD AMU http://bu.univ-amu.fr/ ). Proposals must be sent to them : veronique.ginouves@univ-amu.fr and isabelle.gras@univ-amu.fr. How proposals will be evaluated A scientific committee has been created to supervise this call for papers and to guarantee its scientific rigour. It is composed by * Florence Descamps, maître de conférences HDR à l’Ecole pratique des hautes études * Laurent Dousset, anthropologue, Directeur d’étude, EHESS (Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales) * Mélanie Dulong de Rosnay, chargée de recherche au CNRS, Institut des Sciences de la Communication du CNRS-Paris Sorbonne-UPMC * Lionel Maurel, juriste, conservateur des bibliothèques, responsable de l’information scientifique et technique à l’Université Paris Lumières * Philippe Mouron, maître de conférences en droit privé à l’Université d’Aix-Marseille, spécialiste en droit de la propriété intellectuelle * Stéphane Pouyllau, ingénieur de recherche au CNRS, directeur adjoint de la TGIR Huma-Num Blind peer-review will be used by the editorial committee created within the working group “Ethique et droit”. The editorial committee will submit its propositions of selected papers to the scientific committee. Key dates The call for papers opened on the 5th of September 2016. Deadline to send the proposals via email to Véronique Ginouvès (veronique.ginouves@univ-amu.fr) and Isabelle Gras (isabelle.gras@univ-amu.fr): 15th of November 2016 Authors will be notified if they have been selected by the 15th of December 2016. Selected authors must send their full paper by the 15th of February 2017. The call for papers was published in French at http://calenda.org/376416.

In my query I didn't say much about what exactly I am looking for. Allow me to do that now. Reading the books, esp those published in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, from the perspective of the second decade of the 21st Century provides a curious experience. Except when the AI folks get a bit further with what they can make computers do, and the journalists project the advance into the future, sometimes quite reasonably, we seldom worry as our colleagues once did. I'm digging into the worries. The friendly, esp the analgesic books provide a kind of evidence. Thus a book (costly to produce) whose message is "You have nothing to worry about!" indicates the worry. Furthermore, the friendly books are evidence for scholars taking the bait of pre-packaged "solutions" and so turning away from dealing with the machine in their own scholarly terms. Why worry about the nature(s) of historical data when dBase II is sitting there on the shelf alongside a friendly book showing how easy it is to use? Back then the learning curve was otherwise exceedingly steep and time limited as always, so we must not judge too severely. But, as a result, much was not done that remains and needs to be done. As a few said back then, starting with the machine and all the marvellous things it can do, with however much charity in one's heart, puts the situation the wrong way around and inhibits true innovation. Comments? More books?

Manuale teorico-pratico per l'applicazione dell'informatica al lavoro letterario, Euroma La Goliardica, Rome, 1993. Although presented as in introduction to literary computing (one of the first published in a language other than English), it provided a friendly and enjoyable reading for everyone interested in learning the basic computing concepts. Indeed, Giuseppe's sense of humour and witty metaphors for explaining how the computer worked became legend among his students. Is thanks to his friendly teaching and writing style that a generation of humanities students were attracted by the arcane world of computers.

A century later, the slogan’s rich metaphor is made all the sharper with the new technologies’ emergence in literary studies. What role have machines taken up in text reading? What do they teach us about the mechanics of poetry? What mechanical and strategic devices are we developing, with what results? We are producing all sorts of computing and statistical apparatuses to describe and analyse metre, style and poeticity. We entrust them with part of our research to gain in speed and/or power, escape the physical boundaries of what our mind can embrace, rethink the usual questions and address new ones previously out of reach of traditional readings. Statistical analyses, digital corpuses, miscellaneous inventories shed light upon literature and provide our interpretations with the physical evidence they had to do without so far, but they in turn raise hermeneutic challenges. To apply mechanical processes to the reading of texts is to raise the question of poeticity. Is it to be found in the measurable sum of artfully assembled processes, or does it escape normalisation efforts? Reading machines, by allowing a distant vision, measure phenomena that a natural reading would not detect, thus questioning the role of such invisible features in readers’ perception. Jacobson’s poetic function has objective linguistic features at its centre, but shall its efficiency be reduced to that of a machine, with levers and pulleys we can take apart? Finally, the machine carries some notion of dehumanisation of the processes where it replaces us, and symmetrically, we readily adopt an anthropomorphic perception of it. Its use questions the usefulness and legitimacy of adopting “non-human” readings to access a fundamentally “human” material. Must the literary scholar, whose object is not a natural phenomenon, meet the burden of proof, or can one rely on intuitions? How shall mechanically enhanced “readings” and more traditional ones be linked together? We are keen to gather scholars wishing to show computing or statistical tools they develop to raise questions in poetics, metrics, and stylistics. Devices that did not yield the expected results, provided their shortcomings provide an interesting insight, are welcome too. Possible themes could include, but are not limited to: · metrical analysis; · stylometry; · poeticity and computer tools; · “distant reading” and literary reading; · computer-assisted interpretation; · visual representations of poetry; · History of reading machines and perspectives; · possibility of symbiosis between human reader and non-human apparatus. We welcome abstracts for papers about poetic texts, versified or not, or even texts outside the poetry genre provided that machines are being used to explore their poeticity. Papers of 25 minutes may bear on corpora from any time and in any language, but shall be delivered in English or French.

Cent ans plus tard, la riche métaphore de ce slogan revêt une acuité croissante au regard du surgissement des nouvelles technologies dans les études littéraires. Quel rôle les machines ont-elles pris dans la lecture des textes ? Que nous apprennent-elles sur la mécanique poétique ? Quelles machinations et quelles machineries développons-nous et avec quels résultats ? Nous produisons des appareillages informatiques ou statistiques de toute sorte pour décrire et analyser mètre, style et poéticité. Nous leur confions une partie de nos recherches pour gagner en vitesse et/ou en puissance, échapper aux limites physiques de ce que notre esprit peut traiter, envisager différemment les questions habituelles et en faire émerger de nouvelles que les lectures traditionnelles ne permettaient pas. Les analyses statistiques, l’exploration de corpus numérisés, les recensements divers, éclairent la littérature et fournissent à l’interprétation des preuves matérielles dont elle a longtemps dû se passer, mais posent à leur tour des défis herméneutiques. Appliquer des procédés mécaniques à la lecture des textes, c’est poser la question du poétique. Réside-t-il dans la somme mesurable de procédés ingénieusement agencés, ou bien échappe-t-il aux tentatives de normalisation ? Les machines à lire, en permettant une vision à distance, mesurent des phénomènes que la lecture naturelle ne permet pas de détecter, et interrogent le rôle des traits invisibles ainsi décelés dans notre perception de lecteurs. Quel contrôle le créateur exerce-t-il sur eux ? Ce que Jacobson appelle la fonction poétique a pour élément central des traits linguistiques objectivables, mais son efficacité est-elle pour autant réductible à celle d’une machine dont on peut démonter rouages et ressorts ? Enfin, la machine représente une certaine déshumanisation des processus dans lesquels elle nous remplace, et symétriquement, nous en adoptons volontiers une perception anthropomorphique. Son emploi interroge l’utilité et la légitimité de procéder à des lectures « non-humaines » pour interroger un matériau par nature « humain ». Le spécialiste de littérature, dont l’objet n’est pas un phénomène naturel, est-il soumis à l’obligation de preuve, ou peut-il se contenter d’intuitions ? Comment articuler « lectures » appareillées et autres plus traditionnelles de la poésie. Nous souhaitons réunir pour ce colloque des chercheurs désireux d’exposer les outils informatiques ou statistiques qu’ils développent pour poser des questions de poétique, de métrique et de stylistique. Les appareils n’ayant pas apporté les résultats espérés, pourvu que leur échec nourrisse une réflexion intéressante, sont aussi les bienvenus. Des sujets d’exploration possibles incluent mais ne sont nullement limités à : · analyse métrique ; · stylométrie ; · fait poétique et outils informatiques ; · « distant reading » et lecture littéraire ; · interprétation assistée par les nouvelles technologies ; · représentations visuelles de la poésie ; · histoire des machines à lire la poésie et éléments de perspective; · possibilités de symbiose entre lecteur humain et appareil non-humain. Nous attendons des propositions de communication portant sur des textes poétiques versifiés ou non, ou même des textes extérieurs au genre poétique pourvu que des machines soient mises au point pour en explorer la poétique. Les communications de 25 minutes pourront porter sur des corpus de toute époque et de toute langue, mais devront être données en français ou en anglais. Les propositions (300 mots) sont à envoyer au plus tard le 1er mars 2017 à : Anne-Sophie Bories (a.bories@unibas.ch), Gérald Purnelle (Gerald.Purnelle@ulg.ac.be), Hugues Marchal (hugues.marchal@unibas.ch).

Maier, Anna Novokhatko) Digital text analysis is increasing in prominence throughout the humanities. The ever growing availability of data has opened scholars to the possibilities of quantitative text analysis as a method of learning about the form and content of text. Greek and Latin text analysis in particular poses new questions through the development of text analysis tools and technologies. The 2-day conference is planned to discuss best practices in methods, methodology, tools and technology and hermeneutical reflections on text analysis. This Call for Papers is oriented particularly to all kind of digital projects on Ancient Greek and Latin texts based on central questions such as - levels and techniques for the analysis of large bodies of texts: morphosyntactical, style/register determining, textual-critical, content, hermeneutic - criteria for defining and recognizing items (letters, words, phrases and reference methods) - multimodal and multicodal capabilities of text - the relationship between text, e-text, and hypertext - the methods and perspectives of semiotic and semantic analysis of text/graphic relationship The focus of the conference is an evaluation of the status quo in the digital analysis of Greek and Latin texts (literary and documents, papyri, manuscripts, inscriptions) – what sort of questions have been asked/answered/not yet answered/cannot be answered? Some speakers from non-classical fields have been invited, such experts in text analysis who can contribute to a broader overview of the issues. Confirmed invited speakers (provisional titles included): Rodney Ast (Heidelberg) The Humanities’ place in the Digital Humanities.

These changes call for novel analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the 2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g., documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science, art, and the humanities. This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a practitioners’ day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of posters and demos. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities, librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate. TOPICS JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development, hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design; scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics in digital libraries. SUBMISSIONS Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community’s attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference. All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers]. All accepted papers will be published by the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. ------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE GENERAL CO-CHAIRS * Robert H.

(spw4s)" Subject: Zooniverse GLAM/Humanities Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Adler Planetarium Zooniverse GLAM/Humanities Postdoctoral Fellow Zooniverse, the world-leading research crowdsourcing team, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher and project lead to help direct the development of the Zooniverse platform, especially in the area of text and audio transcription for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAM) and humanities research. Zooniverse enables ~1.5 million registered volunteers to participate in over 60 projects across the disciplines (from astronomy to history and literature) in partnership with GLAM organizations, universities and research institutions around the world, in service of both research and education. A recent grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) supports the development of new text and audio transcription projects (www.imls.gov/grants/awarded/lg-71-16-0028-16). These may be stand-alone, experimental projects that break new ground or involve adding functionality to our unique and innovative free project builder platform (www.zooniverse.org/lab) that allows research teams to build and manage their own crowd-sourced research projects. You’ll be working with our team of talented and friendly developers, designers, and researchers at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago, IL, as well as collaborating with the Zooniverse team at Oxford University in the UK. We use cutting-edge technology to provide the best tools to researchers using the platform. As the lead researcher in the development team, you will contribute to the design of such tools, ensuring that the functionality is of use to researchers in all fields, but especially in museums and libraries. You will be responsible for understanding the museum and library community and attending conferences and working with project partners on behalf of the team. You will also have time to carry out your own research in the growing field of crowdsourcing. There is opportunity to travel, and to work with an extremely diverse group of people spanning libraries and museums, humanities, social sciences, and the natural sciences.

The site contains 181 samples of natural village speech, recorded by the authors of the site over the last quarter-century in 68 different Bulgarian villages. Each text is a well-formed chunk of discourse which not only illustrates salient features of the dialect but also conveys valuable information about traditional cultures. These samples are presented as audio files, transcribed in both Latin and Cyrillic, and translated into English. Texts are annotated at three different levels, and the website is set up to allow searches of the data at all three levels. Data entry is still ongoing but is sufficiently far along to make the site useful to scholars and others interested in dialectology and traditional culture. When data entry is complete the site will be augmented by prose descriptions of each individual dialect, prose commentaries on the individual texts, and an index of thematic content. We invite you to check out the site, and to send any comments or questions to bdlt@berkeley.edu. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 40A04AB8; Thu, 20 Oct 2016 07:27:48 +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 824598182; Thu, 20 Oct 2016 07:27:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C64F1817E; Thu, 20 Oct 2016 07:27:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161020052744.C64F1817E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2016 07:27:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.426 neoclassical economics for dummies?

Since 2010, UC Libraries and the Department of English & Comparative Literature have collaborated on The Elliston Project, an audio archive of over 700 recordings of poetry or poetry-related content. The recordings span seven decades and feature over 450 poets, including Wendell Berry, Robert Frost, Allen Ginsberg, Louise Glück and a host of others. Alan Liu, a pioneer of digital humanities in literary studies, considers the Elliston project to be a “world-class poetry audio archive,” which has the potential to “alter the dominant understandings of a ‘digital archive’ developed for textual materials.” We invite applications to our graduate program from promising undergraduate or MA students with an interest in the digital humanities. We welcome students versed in a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches to be used in conjunction with digital methods. Areas of potential research include: semantic analysis of large audio and text datasets, adapting natural language processing algorithms for audio and media files, the creation of a linked data infrastructure, among other experimental analyses of the Elliston poetry archive. The chosen students will be admitted to the English and Comparative Literature department, and would work under the supervision of Professor James Lee. They will gain experience with audio production, metadata, digital repositories, web development, and the methodologies of digital humanities scholarship. Students may cycle off the Elliston Graduate Assistantship prior to the completion of their degree in order to gain essential classroom experience by teaching. Please contact Professor Lee with any questions, or click here for information on how to apply to our graduate program. All students who apply by January 15th, 2017, are eligible for admission with full funding (tuition remission and a stipend). Applicants should express an interest in serving as the Elliston / DH Graduate Assistant.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 07:44:10 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: computing and reasoning Two books touch on an interesting question, namely the relationship between digital computing and human reasoning: Alex Abella, Soldiers of Reason: The RAND Corporation and the Rise of the American Empire. Orlando FL: Harcourt, 2008. Paul Erickson et al., How Reason Almost Lost its Mind: The Strange Career of Cold War Rationality. Chicago IL: University of Chicago Press, 2013. I struggle to articulate what makes them stand out. Both centre on the period of the Cold War, both orbit what went on at RAND, but that's not it (for me). The closest I can get at the moment is the intensity in extremis of the Cold War (thermonuclear annihilation) of the questioning of reason itself shaped by theories and implementations for digital computing. We ask, and sometimes fear the answer, is true artificial intelligence possible? These books help to see that this is the wrong question, that a better one is, what is reason? And of course how in the milieu of digital machines are we now reshaping it? Apologies for the fumbling. Any enlightening thoughts?

Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 17-19, 2016 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, films, and tattoo art.

This workshop explores the histories of these practices, looking at different forms of measurement and self-management in the 19th and 20th century. So far, historians have paid more attention to the role of scientists and the state in producing data about people than they have to individual practices. The aim of this workshop is to trace the genealogies of today’s culture of quantification and to investigate the role of (personalized) quantification in the making of the modern self. We seek to address the following questions: How were scientific techniques such as quantification applied to the individual body and household? How were sciences such as phrenology, medicine, statistics and anthropometry made personal? How did quantification change people’s understanding of themselves? How did numbers become an incentive to self-improvement? Do today’s metric practices represent change or continuity? We invite submissions on topics related (but not limited) to histories of: • Personal quantification • Self-monitoring, self-tracking and self-management • Private numbers and public numbers • Popular science and personal uses of quantification • How individuals related to statistics and averages • Measurements in the household • Numeracy/quantitative literacy • Accounting tools in the home • Measureing as entertainment • Self-surveillance Deadline and contact information: abstracts (max. 300 words) for a 20-minute paper and a short biographical note should be sent by 6 January 2017 to: f.h.sysling@uu.nl Organizers: Fenneke Sysling and Hieke Huistra (University of Utrecht) This workshop is organized as part of the project The Quantified Self: a history – funded through the Veni Innovational Research Incentives Scheme of the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO) and with support of the Descartes Centre for the History and Philosophy of the Sciences and the Humanities in Utrecht. _______________________________________________ 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 849B481A8; Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:55:01 +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 6E82181B0; Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:55:00 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4FCEC81AB; Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:54:57 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161025055457.4FCEC81AB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 07:54:57 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.435 pubs: Open Access to Notes & Records &c 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: <20161025055501.4982.55713@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 435.

During this period, global transportation and communications systems were constructed, the modern global economy was knit together, and both scientific and humanistic scholarship became a professional and global enterprise. Such developments lent a new urgency to the collection and sharing of information and the establishment of accord among nation-states and communities in the world of learning. They also provoked a tide of utopian speculation, pacifist dreams, and, sometimes, pragmatic nightmares. The symposium will begin on Thursday 23 February at the Beckman Center with a public keynote address by Michael Gordin, Rosengarten Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Princeton University. It will continue on Friday and Saturday, 24-25 February, at the University of Pennsylvania. The outline programme and summaries of papers are available on the symposium website: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/science_of_information.html For further information, contact Lynn Ransom at lransom@upenn.edu or +1 (215) 898-7851. _______________________________________________ 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 8D31981B4; Thu, 27 Oct 2016 07:38:13 +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 52F8C816A; Thu, 27 Oct 2016 07:38:12 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id DCF76815B; Thu, 27 Oct 2016 07:38:08 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161027053808.DCF76815B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 07:38:08 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.441 asst professorship in design (UIUC); librarian (UT-Austin) 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: <20161027053813.30271.69945@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 441.

This includes, but is not limited to: - Humanities research enabled through digital media, artificial intelligence or machine learning, software studies, or information design and modeling; - Social, institutional, global, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities; - Computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, and historical studies, including public humanities and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; - Quantitative stylistics and philology, including big data and text mining studies; - Digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and electronic literature; - Emerging technologies such as physical computing, single-board computers, minimal computing, wearable devices, applied to humanities research; and - Digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula. The theme of the 2017 conference is “Access/Accès”: contributions that focus on knowledge mobilization, public-facing scholarship, collaboration among scholars and communities, open access to code, software, research and results, and aspects of digital humanities research and publication involving accessibility technologies are particularly welcome. The conference will be officially bilingual in French and English, since Canada is a bilingual country: so we invite proposals for presentations particularly in both languages, as well as in the other official ADHO languages (German, Italian, Spanish). Presentations may include: - Posters (abstract maximum 750 words) - Short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words) - Virtual short papers (abstract maximum 1500 words) - Long papers (abstract 1500 words) - Multiple paper sessions, including panels (regular abstracts + approximately 500-word overview) - Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal maximum 1500 words) The deadline for submitting poster, short paper, long paper, and multiple paper session proposals to the international Program Committee is 11:59pm GMT, 1 November 2016.

The deadline for workshop and tutorial proposals is 11:59pm GMT, 17 February 2017, with notice of acceptance by 10 March 2017. https://www.conftool.pro/dh2017/ When submitting proposals, previous Digital Humanities conference participants and reviewers should use their existing accounts rather than setting up new ones. If you have forgotten your username or password, please contact Program Committee Chair Diane Jakacki: diane {dot} jakacki {at} bucknell {dot} edu. To facilitate the production of the conference proceedings, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator, available through ConfTool, which creates a TEI text base of conference abstracts for further processing. II: TYPES OF PROPOSALS Proposals may be of seven types: (1) poster presentations; (2) short paper presentations; (3) virtual short paper presentations; (4) long papers; (5) three-paper, half-panel or full-panel sessions; (6) pre-conference workshops and tutorials; and (7) pre-conference workshops endorsed by a Special Interest Group. Based on peer review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee may offer acceptance in a different category from the one initially proposed. The committee will not normally accept more than a total of two submissions from one primary or co-author. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish. For the first time at DH2017, the program committee will work towards encouraging widespread “whispering” – community ad hoc translation and/or multilingual resources, like visual aids – to foster and facilitate exchanges and dialogue among practitioners in the two languages of the conference as well as the other ADHO official languages. Poster Presentations Poster proposals (500 to 750 words) may describe work on any relevant topic or offer project and software demonstrations. Posters are appropriate for projects in early stages of development and for demonstrations of tools and platforms. Poster presentations are intended to be interactive with the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. Short Papers Short paper proposals (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for reporting on experiments or works in progress or for describing newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. This category of presentation allows for up to five short papers in a single session, with the length held to a strict 10 minutes each in order to allow time for questions. Virtual Short Papers For DH 2017 the Local Organizers have agreed to experiment with the inclusion of a special virtual track for short paper presentations. Submission parameters remain the same as with the short papers: proposals (750 to 1500 words) that report on experiments or works in progress or that describe newly conceived tools or software in early stages of development. While the intent of this track will be on bi-directional communication, presenters will be expected to produce in advance a video of their presentation of no more than 10 minutes in length, in case of technical difficulties with a real-time connection. Proposals in this category should specify the virtual track in the abstract. Please, note that the presenters accepted for a virtual short paper will have also to register for the conference. Long Papers Proposals for long papers (750 to 1500 words) are appropriate for substantial, completed, and previously unpublished research; reports on the development of significant new methodologies or digital resources; and/or rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities and what their impact has been in formulating and addressing research questions; they should also include critical assessments of their application in the humanities. Papers that concentrate on a particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem and should include critical assessments of the computing methodologies used. All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the literature. Multiple Paper Sessions These consist usually of one 90-minute panel of four to six speakers or three long papers on a single theme. For DH 2017, we also invite proposals for one 45-minute panel of two to three speakers. Panel organizers should submit an abstract of 750 to 1500 words describing the panel topic, how it will be organized, the names of all the speakers, and an indication that each speaker is willing to participate in the session. All paper session organizers should submit a statement of approximately 500 words describing the session topic, include abstracts of 750 to 1500 words for each paper, and indicate that each author is willing to participate in the session. Papers that are submitted as part of a special session may not be submitted individually for consideration in another category. Since the conference offers an important occasion to attract new scholars to specific research areas, those submitting proposals for panels and paper sessions are advised to ensure that the constitution of the panel either reflects the constitution of the field and/or research topic that is being addressed or explicitly address problems in that area. In case the proposer’s own network is too limited, the Program Committee can advise them on whom to contact to broaden the panel. Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of participants. Workshop proposals may take many forms, including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, as well as proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen. Proposals should provide the following information: - Title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); - Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; - Description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and - Special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: - A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half-day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: - Intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one-and-a-half days); - Proposed budget (as workshops are expected to be self-financing); and - If the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. Workshops endorsed by a SIG: Workshops endorsed by a SIG and focused on a topic related to the concerned SIG are required to follow the same instructions as other workshops, but proposers should also note that: - They have to be endorsed by a SIG - The deadline application is earlier (see above) - They should have at least 10 confirmed participants III: ADHO CONFERENCE CODE OF CONDUCT The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) is dedicated to creating a safe, respectful, and collegial conference environment for the benefit of everyone who attends and for the advancement of research and scholarship in fields supported by our constituent organizations. The ADHO Digital Humanities conference Code of Conduct is available at http://adho.org/administration/conference-coordinating- program-committee/adho-conference-code-conduct. IV: VENUE AND THEME DH2017 will take place in Montréal, Canada, and is hosted jointly by McGill University and Université de Montréal. The local organizers are Stéfan Sinclair and Michael Sinatra. This is the first time that the annual conference will be officially bilingual in French and English, which befits the world’s second Francophone city. The theme of “Access/Accès” underscores the conference organizers’ commitment to making the event more attainable financially, linguistically, and logistically for digital humanities scholars. V: BURSARIES FOR EARLY-CAREER AND EMERGING SCHOLARS The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations will offer a limited number of bursaries for early-career scholars presenting at the conference. Application guidelines will appear on the ADHO website later this year: http://www.adho.org.

In the environmental humanities, like in the digital humanities, "access" is not always a desirable goal. The actions of thousands of First Nations and Native American people, who continue to protest corporate and state access to tribal lands for the purpose of building pipelines, attest that access is both a human and environmental issue. Access, especially human access, may well put endangered ecosystems at risk, expediting the "climate of extinction" in which, Nowviskie asserts, digital humanists work. This multiple paper session seeks contributions that consider the tensions and affordances produced by work that emerges in the intersections of environmental humanities and digital humanities. Topics of papers may include, but are not limited to: * Environmental impacts of digital technologies * Digital approaches to water access issues * Geospatial encounters with landscapes * Digital environmental justice and community projects & scholarship * Eco-feminist approaches to digital humanities * Digital and environmental sustainability * Ecomateriality of digital objects * Human / Non-human / More-than-Human / Post-human interactions * Digital humanities approaches to environmental datasets * Impacts of ecological metaphors in digital humanities (e.g. text mining, cloud computing, sunsetting, server farms, etc.) Please send paper title, abstract of 750-1500 words, and CV to Alicia Peaker (apeaker[at]brynmawr[dot]edu) by October 30th for consideration in multiple paper session proposal for DH 2017 to be held in Montreal, Canada, August 8-11, 2017. _______________________________________________ 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 490EB81DC; Fri, 28 Oct 2016 10:40:19 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E4BD381D6; Fri, 28 Oct 2016 10:40:17 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E119181D5; Fri, 28 Oct 2016 10:40:14 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161028084014.E119181D5@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 10:40:14 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.445 events: EADH Day (Rome); Dean Irvine (Agile); edges, surfaces, materialities (UCLA) 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: <20161028084019.15296.87106@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 445.

Roma, Jan 25, 2017 --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 11:03:52 -0400 From: Élika_Ortega Subject: UCLA Symposium: Composition Across/Between Edges, Surfaces and Materialities Dec. 8, 2016 Dear all, I am happy to announce (if you have not seen this elsewhere) two events at UCLA in early December (Dec 8-9) co-organized by Miriam Posner, Patrik Svensson and myself. All best, Élika Composition Across/Between Edges, Surfaces and Materialities Symposium, Dec 8, 2016 This symposium explores compositions that happen, emerge, or are partly enacted at edges, between surfaces and across materialities, scales and modalities. These kinds of compositions–narrative, artistic, scholarly, political, infrastructural, etc.–demand a reorientation of established knowledge models, critical stances, vocabularies and infrastructures. They shift our attention to their architecture – conceptual and material – and the very process of composition as argumentative, narrative, and strategic media ideations. The symposium aims to develop further understandings of these compositions and partake in the imagining of new practices based on prolonged conversations, a range of concrete examples and thematic interventions. Questions addressed include: What compositions might be possible (and not possible) in contemporary – complex and multimodal – information ecologies? What tools and narrative/material strategies would be necessary to enact them? How can we go beyond “edged” thinking and practice (and contemporary compositional regimes)? How can we learn from earlier and contemporary work on materially complex compositions? What is the compositional significance of the edges? How do they affect material relations of power? How can they be used to enact social and cultural shifts? Participants bring expertise from a range of fields and practices including literary studies, design, scientific visualization, digital humanities, media studies, art history, classics, media arts, and information studies. Among invited and confirmed participants (so far) are: Rita Raley, Ricardo Domínguez, Mark Marino, Anne Balsamo, Zach Horton, Carter Emmart, Johanna Drucker, Erkki Huhtamo and Jeremy Douglass. More information and registration here: http://dhbasecamp.humanities.ucla.edu/compositions/ Please register and join us in Southern California/at UCLA in December (and also take the opportunity to attend the event described below)! Registered participants may be asked to be invited participants. Encoding Diversity Seminar, Dec 9, 2016, 10 am-12 Room 111, Information Studies Building. This UCLA Digital Humanities Seminar engages with critical themes inside and outside the field. The format is meant to be inviting, generous, sharp, dialogic and experimental. The theme for the December 9 seminar - "Encoding Diversity" - invites critical-material engagement with the encoding of library systems, biodiversity databases, public systems, (digital humanities) institutions and organizations, visual archives, digital humanities "data" and more. The use of "encoding" is also meant to indicate an interest in the active engagement with making, challenging and changing such structures. The conversation will include Ursula Heise, Geoffrey Bowker, Safiya Umoja Noble, Élika Ortega and Todd Presner. No registration required. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:00:55 -0500 From: Anna Jordanous Subject: A week of DH events at the University of Kent (UK) with DH Visiting Fellow Dean Irvine (Agile Humanities Agency, Canada) Dear all, please see the following DH events at the University of Kent (Canterbury / Medway, UK) between 8th-10th November, which we would like to invite you to.

Roma, Jan 25, 2017 CfP: 3rd EADH DAY, Sapienza University Roma January 25, 2017 The third annual European Association for the Digital Humanities Symposium (EADH Day) will be held in conjunction with the 6th Annual Conference of the Associazione Informatica Umanistica e Culture Digitali (AIUCD, Association for Digital Humanities and Digital Cultures) which will take place at the University Sapienza of Roma from the 24th to the 28th of January 2017 (http://aiucd2017.aiucd.it/). The 3rd EADH day will take place on Wednesday January 25, 2017. The objective of EADH days is to raise awareness for DH research activities beyond the regional conference context. The format of EADH day is designed to facilitate exchange and networking initiatives among European DH research communities and in particular to foster the participation of early career scholars to local DH conferences around Europe. The 3rd EADH Day will be articulated in two main sessions. The morning session is theme oriented; it will be opened by a keynote speech given by an affirmed scholar in the EADH community and will hopefully be closed by a lively and open debate to which all the delegates can participate. This year theme is: “Diversity, multiculturalism and theoretical foundations of DH: how big can the tent be?” The 3rd EADH day will be opened by a keynote speech by *Barbara Bordalejo*, Assistant Professor at Leuven University and member of EADH executive board. The afternoon session is open to any relevant subject in DH such as recent research developments, key topics of interest to the digital humanities community, project or tool presentations. Participants may contribute directly to the EADH Day in both sessions: 1. Through presentations of a 10 minute lightning talk 2. Through the proposal of a challenge for participants to address during the event. Challenges can be presented in creative ways: round tables with respondents and / or speakers / audience sharing the stage in turns, multimedia presentations, short sketches, students' projects, are only some of the formats which come to mind. Participants wishing to present lightning talks should provide a 500 words abstract of the presentation in English which will be made available online prior to the event. Challenges should take the form of an open question (e.g. ‘How do we teach Digital Humanities?’ ‘What is the social resonance of Digital Humanities?’, ‘What is the contribution of Digital Humanities to collective memory and public history?’ etc.), with one or two paragraphs of text justifying its significance. Proposals must be submitted via AIUCD 2017 ConfTool (https://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017/) by the 5th of December 2016. Lightning talks and challenges will be selected by an EADH panel. Presentation of a lightning talk or a challenge is not a requirement to participate and anyone may register to attend the event via the AIUCD Conftool website website. Participation in the 3rd EADH Day is free of charge for registered participants of AIUCD 2017. For people who only choose to take part in the 3rd EADH Day fees are as follows: - Members of EADH AOs / ADHO COs € 10 - Non members of EADH AOs / ADHO COs € 30 Information on how to become a member of EADH are available at https://eadh.org/about/membership. Information on membership for COs and AOs can be found on their respective web sites. EADH-day bursaries In order to facilitate the participation of early career scholars to the EADH Day, the European Association for Digital Humanities (EADH), *offers 5 bursaries of 300 EUR* for young scholars presenting a talk at the 3rd EADH Day, which will take place at the Sapienza University of Roma on Wednesday 25 January, 2017. Conditions of eligibility As the objective of EADH days is to raise awareness for DH research activities beyond the regional conference context and to facilitate exchange and networking initiatives among European DH research communities, participants from countries other than Italy will have priority in the allocation of the bursaries. Participants whose journey is supported by their department / institution should not apply. Applications can be submitted via ConfTool together with the abstract of proposals for the EADH Day, uploading a PDF file including: (1) a max one-page CV, (2) a short motivation letter which explains benefits from attending and individual contribution to the EADH Day. Selection of the bursary winner and award of the bursary The bursary winners will be chosen among the participants whose contribution to the EADH Day was accepted and who have registered for the EADH day or the EADH Day and the AIUCD 2017 conference. Selection criteria are (a) the quality of the abstract, especially its originality and innovation potential (scholarly, technical or methodological), and (b) the evidence of need for support provided in the motivation letter. Preference is given to members of EADH, of an EADH Associate Organisation or of an EADH Partner Organisation. Awardees are expected to deliver a report (in the form of a blog post) at the latest two weeks after the 3rd EADH Day. Bursary winners will be notified on the 10th of January 2017. They will be awarded the bursary during a prize allocation ceremony that will take place at the end of the EADH Day on Wednesday January 24. Questions regarding the bursary can be addressed in French Italian or English to: aiucd2017@aiucd.it . -- Fabio Ciotti Dept.

[2] From: Willard McCarty (24) Subject: Flow Chart and flowcharts --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2016 09:33:47 -0400 From: Henry Schaffer Subject: Re: 30.406 even more on flowcharts? In-Reply-To: <20161012060638.852C28165@digitalhumanities.org> There are many humorous examples of real flowcharts, one that every engineer will recognize is the classic "Does it Move" one, e.g. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dullhunk/7214525854 which does a good job of communicating to the public. I started out using flowcharts as the first step in programming a computer, but have moved to the use of "pseudocode" which I find to be a better preparation for writing computer code. I also use this in teaching as I find it to be a good way to communicate with both non-programmers and beginning programmers. E.g. here is an example for an elementary text processing program: while there is text left to read { read in line split into words for each one of these words, increment count } print words with count of each where the { } indicate the grouping for iteration so that the printing doesn't happen until all the text is processed. I find that the flowchart can show iteration, it is not as easy to understand and that gets worse with nested iteration. (Note that this example does have nested iteration - it's implicit in the 4th line of the pseudocode - but it is easy for a non-programmer to understand.) The history of the flowchart certainly goes much further back than computing. One example is the depiction of metabolic pathways in biochemistry. E.g. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle which dates back to the 1930's. But a biochemist/biologist would never refer to that a "flowchart". --henry schaffer On Wed, Oct 12, 2016 at 2:06 AM, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 406. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Wed, 12 Oct 2016 06:56:23 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: even more on flowcharts > > > In this post-programming phase of flowchart's history, what role does the > flowcharts play in the public sphere? > > There are a few serious ones I have encountered, e.g. in a hospital > Accident > & Emergency room.

That's the first few lines of the American poet John Ashbery's long poem "Flow Chart" (1992). Having just received the book (of slightly more than 200 pages) I haven't read it yet, but a quick search of it tells me that "diagram" is mentioned 3 times, "flow chart" only in the title, "chart but once" and "flow" (plus inflected and compound forms) 11 times. Reading it is in order :-). Has anyone commented on the relation between the poem and the (long-ago) programmer's flowchart?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2016 08:47:41 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: mapping digital humanities historically Recent questions on Humanist and responses to them betray an interest on my part and others' in (relatively) long-ago books on the computer, its applications and effects. I now have a large enough collection to be driven to categorise these books, and by doing it have found that the categories suggest a broad but definite view of digital humanities. I'm not suggesting it is the one true view, rather that sorting the historical record of publications is a good way to make the sorter's own view clearer. For now I choose to do this mostly with books (monographs and edited collections), allowing for a few exceptions, because they tend to a broader, more comprehensive scope of interest. The following is my current list of categories: 1. Disciplinary This includes with a few exceptions items specifically focused on the computer in particular disciplines rather than on the machine or its software. Examples are: Dell Hymes, The Use of Computers in Anthropology (1965) Robert Oakman, Computer Methods for Literary Research (1980) Evan Mawdsley and Thomas Munck, Computing for Historians (1993) 2. Industrial This one focuses on the computer manufacturing industry itself rather than the application of computing in automation, which I put elsewhere. I have few examples so far; these seem to require quite a bit of sifting to yield items of interest to me; others' mileage may differ. But I'd be glad to know about more. The sort of thing I have come across: Computer Industry Annual 1967-1968 Computers and Automation (a monthly, 1954-1978) 3. Social Here I put the social commentary and speculations of public intellectuals and others, e.g. Dennis Gabor, Inventing the Future (1963) Jacques Ellul, The Technological Society (1964/1954) Lewis Mumford, The Myth of the Machine (1967) Albert Teich, ed., Technology and Man's Future (1981) 4. Explanatory and exploratory This is the broadest and most complex category, and the one most affected by my own interests. But it is, I think, also of most relevance to us, as I will suggest. It includes so far 6 sub-categories, as follows. 4.1 Analgesic. Here I put books that whatever their explicit aim (which merits their placement elsewhere as well) seem intent on reassurance, on turning away from the most philosophically challenging and so to me most interesting aspects of computing. Examples are: Edward Shorter, The Historian and the Computer: A Practical Guide (1962) Ben Ross Schneider, Travels in Computerland (1974) Dennie Van Tassel, The Compleat Computer (1976) Daniel Hillis, The Pattern on the Stone (1998) 4.2 Biographical. Self-explanatory, e.g. Steve Heims, John von Neumann and Norbert Wiener (1980) Marguerite Zientara, The History of Computing (1981) Robert Slater, Portraits in Silicon (1987) 4.3 Definitional. These are primarily quite early attempts to answer the question, What is it? R. R. Rathbone, Whirlwind I (1951) William Corliss, Computers (1968) IBM, What is a Computer? (1969) 4.4 Philosophical-historical. My most densely populated category, perhaps unsurprisingly. It includes everything focused on the intellectual questions and potentials of digital computing. Examples are: B. V. Boden, ed. Faster than Thought (1953) Irene Taviss, ed., The Computer Impact (1970) Pamela McCorduck, Machines Who Think (1979) Ellen Ullman, Close to the Machine (1997) In the above, it seems to me, the primary trajectory of digital humanities is indicated most by category 4 but also including 3 and 1; that part of cultural studies interested in the digital, by category 3; and those who specialise in computing within a particular discipline, by category 1. Category 2 should probably be absorbed into the others. But again this is to suggest an exercise, not anything like a definitive result. Comments?

We hope to see you there in person or online. Talk Abstract In this talk, I will be examining the power relations involved in the production of the illustrated book within the context of nineteenth-century technological development. Changes in manufacture and the commercial market after 1830 marked the beginning of what David McKitterick has described as a ‘revolution’ in printing. By the second half of the nineteenth century, illustrations had become a ubiquitous feature within the pages of newspapers, periodicals, serials and books. The period between 1830 and 1850 in particular gave rise to the sophistication of wood engraving that laid the foundations for its ‘heyday’- to borrow a term from Paul Goldman- between 1855 and 1870. Scholars have widely recognised that publishers of these illustrated books enjoyed a great deal of autonomy within their production and commercialization. Yet these power structures were not always translated onto the printed pages. This paper seeks to examine the varying levels of autonomy the publisher had over the visual within illustrated publications. The use of computational techniques allows us to evaluate the degree in which the power of the publisher was reflected within the illustrated book and prompts us to consider how the tensions between those invested in the book’s production manifested itself on the printed pages. About our speaker Will Finley is a Collaborative PhD student (Sheffield University, British Library) working towards a digital history of printed book illustration. About the seminar Time: 5:15 - 6:30pm, 17 May 2016 Venue: John S Cohen Room 203, 2nd floor, IHR, North block, Senate House, University of London, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU Link: http://ihrdighist.blogs.sas.ac.uk/2016/07/20/tuesday-8-november-2016-will-finley-tbc/ As usual, you can attend in person or online.

Subject: Re: 30.446 and more on flowcharts In-Reply-To: <20161029051604.7D0F881BA@digitalhumanities.org> Hello! Ashbery's Flow Chart is thought to be a poetic accomplishment of very, very high order (I am told, I believe, maybe we all know already). Somehow the poem -- although really long -- pulls the reader along (caught up in the flow, as it were). It is very hard to read all the way through, as every reader discovers, but can be happily read in bits and pieces in any order (the flow picks up from wherever it starts). "Flow" is watery, it seems, the chart is nautical maybe, and the difficulty follows accordingly. I recall Harold Bloom as treating the poem at some length somewhere. Maybe that's a start.

In-Reply-To: <20161012060638.852C28165@digitalhumanities.org> There are many humorous examples of real flowcharts, one that every engineer will recognize is the classic "Does it Move" one, e.g. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.flickr.com_photos_dullhunk_7214525854&d=DQICAg&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=4HW-Bg1iTf-h--lzhgL26C0VNPm-50-gpP1cqUgHbVg&m=xQgmTgQftu_LSmtFt0aaTS2-bxTvon0kGVVTqHhBNyE&s=3yFHLt3XzfUCaIOrYkk7TLj7yxcMTfL90xu11QtoY9k&e= which does a good job of communicating to the public. I started out using flowcharts as the first step in programming a computer, but have moved to the use of "pseudocode" which I find to be a better preparation for writing computer code. I also use this in teaching as I find it to be a good way to communicate with both non-programmers and beginning programmers. E.g. here is an example for an elementary text processing program: while there is text left to read { read in line split into words for each one of these words, increment count } print words with count of each where the { } indicate the grouping for iteration so that the printing doesn't happen until all the text is processed. I find that the flowchart can show iteration, it is not as easy to understand and that gets worse with nested iteration. (Note that this example does have nested iteration - it's implicit in the 4th line of the pseudocode - but it is easy for a non-programmer to understand.) The history of the flowchart certainly goes much further back than computing. One example is the depiction of metabolic pathways in biochemistry. E.g. see https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__en.wikipedia.org_wiki_Citric-5Facid-5Fcycle&d=DQICAg&c=y2w-uYmhgFWijp_IQN0DhA&r=4HW-Bg1iTf-h--lzhgL26C0VNPm-50-gpP1cqUgHbVg&m=xQgmTgQftu_LSmtFt0aaTS2-bxTvon0kGVVTqHhBNyE&s=pn_CHASVTT9MnotNX82i_xFJnVF98jXRfEBKvKPoMPA&e= which dates back to the 1930's. But a biochemist/biologist would never refer to that a "flowchart". --henry schaffer _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 703318216; Tue, 1 Nov 2016 08:04:40 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 208E38211; Tue, 1 Nov 2016 08:04:39 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3EECE8210; Tue, 1 Nov 2016 08:04:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161101070435.3EECE8210@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2016 08:04:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.453 postdoc with Zooniverse; analyst at Exeter; user-experience at Swansea 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: <20161101070440.30986.14774@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 453.

CAA-UK aims to encourage communication between UK-based archaeologists, mathematicians and computer scientist. Contributions are invited which address all aspects of Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology. In addition, we would particularly welcome contributions that consider future approaches to computational archaeology. Computational archaeology is an ever-changing discipline, with newer software and processing packages regularly becoming available. The introduction of new methods through novel software and recording solutions provides a basis in which archaeology can adapt, and at CAA-UK 2017 we especially welcome papers that introduce these new methods to the discipline, assessing how they can add to our understanding of the past. Papers that focus on evaluating current computational practises, reviewing how the discipline can change, and how the discipline can adapt to achieve more robust scientific outcomes, are also encouraged. As with the introduction of newer methods, we also welcome papers that follow the suggested topics below: § Integration of scientific and theoretical methods in computing § Visualisation & Mixed Reality in Archaeology § GIS & Geospatial Analysis § Geophysics & Remote sensing § Photogrammetry & 3D Recording § Statistical methods § Semantic web § Public Engagement § Visualisation & 3D modelling § Social media § Data management Full details of the conference, including booking & venue information as well as accepted abstracts will be available in due course at uk.caa-international.org Abstracts should be a maximum of 350 words with paper proposals geared around 20 minute presentations. Please send your abstracts to the organisers at: caa-uk@caaconference.org. Limited amounts of bursaries will be available for student participation at the conference. The Deadline for abstract submission is Friday 6th January 2017. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 044D3842; Thu, 3 Nov 2016 07:37:04 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 737418223; Thu, 3 Nov 2016 07:37:03 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 01DC1821F; Thu, 3 Nov 2016 07:37:00 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161103063701.01DC1821F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 3 Nov 2016 07:37:00 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.457 asst/assoc positions (Virginia & Virginia Tech); PhD at Indiana 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: <20161103063704.9651.65536@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 457.

OF HUMANITIES & PROF. OF ENGLISH, STANFORD UNIV. The manuscript is a vessel that carries the memorialized presences of people from the past into the present. From medieval "Books of Life" to nineteenth-century autograph books, often the only vestiges of a person’s existence are the names recorded on pages that have withstood the passage of time. Prof. Treharne will discuss multiple examples of this phenomenon of human endurance both within the physical book and as demonstrated through the medium of the digital.

Why we need a Journal of Historical Network Research While interdisciplinary research into the relational paradigm has produced an impressive body of work across the social and political sciences and also, increasingly, among historians, there is as yet no international medium of publication devoted to the study of networks in their historical contexts. This has put scholars with an interest in historical network research—both historians and historical sociologists—at a great disadvantage, and has meant that they have long been accustomed to publishing research papers in non-historical journals. The situation for historians interested in network research is further complicated by academic and cultural idiosyncrasies, since much of the groundbreaking and recent research into historical networks in the English-speaking world has been carried out by historical sociologists, rather than social historians, and has thus remained mostly outside the sphere of traditional academic history departments. This has naturally also influenced the means of publication for research in this area; preferred journals such as Social Networks and the American Journal of Sociology focus heavily on methodological and theoretical aspects. In short, there are no international publications devoted to the study of networks (social and otherwise) from a specifically historical perspective. This is the gap that the Journal of Historical Network Research is keen to fill. Its aim is to publish outstanding and original contributions which apply the theories and methodologies of social network analysis to historical research, to help advance the epistemological and theoretical understanding of social network analysis in the historical, social and political sciences, and to promote empirical research on historical social interactions. The journal aims to promote the interplay between different areas of historical research (in the broadest sense), social and political sciences, and different research traditions and disciplines, while strengthening the dialogue between network research and “traditional” historical research. The journal will serve as a meeting place for the traditional hermeneutics of historical research and its concomitant emphasis on contextualisation and historical source criticism (as present in traditional academic historical journals) on the one hand, and the theory-heavy and/or sometimes overly technical discussion of methodological and technological issues (which predominates in publications focused on “pure” or sociological network research) on the other. Editorial and Advisory Boards The Editorial and Advisory Boards of the Journal of Historical Network Research are composed of scholars who have previously published in the field of historical network research, covering all of the main historical periods, from antiquity and the mediaeval period to (early) modern and contemporary history. The Advisory Board consists of noted scholars and internationally renowned experts from both the historical sciences and neighbouring disciplines (e.g. archaeology, social, political and economic sciences, digital humanities and computer science), whose task will be to ensure the academic quality of publications. The journal is committed to excellence in research and scholarship and will adhere to the highest measures of quality control. Papers will be peer reviewed by experts in relevant fields. The journal will be an open access online publication hosted by the University of Luxembourg. As a digital medium the journal will emphasise the wide range of possibilities for publishing online. For network research in particular, this mode of publication holds a number of advantages. Unlike traditional print publications, no size or viewability limit is placed on network graphs. Data collections and databases may be published alongside research papers, and visual representations of networks are not limited to static figures but may also include dynamic/animated graphs and/or timelines, as well as three-dimensional network views. This encourages the development and application of digital resources alongside more traditional journals, with the aim of supporting relational science and historical network research. Submissions We are seeking proposals for papers to be published in the Journal of Historical Network Research, the first issue of which will appear in the summer of 2017. The Editorial Board welcomes proposals for papers centred on historical network research into any period of the recorded human past, from Bronze Age civilisation to contemporary history. While English is the language of choice, articles can also be submitted in German, French and Italian (please include your contact details). All articles (but especially those articles written in a language other than English) should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 300 words in American English which gives the salient points and arguments, and should also be indexed by no more than 5 keywords. Please follow the Author Guidelines and use this Word template to ensure that your paper is formatted correctly. Articles for the first volume should be submitted to journal@historicalnetworkresearch.org by January 15th 2017. You will be notified of acceptance as soon as possible. For further information on historical network research in general, we would advise you to visit www.historicalnetworkresearch.org. If you have any additional queries, please do not hesitate to contact the editors at journal@historicalnetworkresearch.org.

It occurs to me that the same could be said of modelling, i.e. that the necessary simplification at any one stage of modelling is not only reductive, by leaving out parts or aspects of the thing modelled, but also expansive, by including more variants. For any given model the latter is bad from the perspective of disciplines or specialisms that focus on unique particulars, good to those that reach for law-like regularities. But as a dynamic processes, cartoon-ing and model-ing leave those regularities counterfactual, hypothetical, entities of the imagination. Who has worked along such lines?

The Postdoctoral Fellow will be a member of a vibrant team comprised of colleagues in Library Research & Instructional Services, Special Collections, Educational Technology Services, and Assessment & Learning Spaces. We welcome candidates who hold, or will hold by July 2017, a PhD in any discipline relevant to the digital humanities. The Postdoctoral Fellow is a key position in the integrated digital scholarship program at Bryn Mawr. We are seeking a creative and technically skilled person to promote the use of digital technologies and resources for humanities research, teaching, and intellectual engagement. The strongest candidates will be familiar with a variety of digital methods, have extensive experience with collaborative digital scholarship, and an awareness of issues at the intersection of digital scholarship and pedagogy. The Fellow will work closely with a team of Library & Information Technology Services (LITS) staff, faculty, and students to support the College’s vision for incorporating digital technologies in innovative, collaborative research, teaching, and learning. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be involved in the promotion of collaborative projects in the humanities and connection of digital humanities projects with the College’s digital competencies framework for students. The Postdoctoral Fellow will be in residence as a member of Bryn Mawr’s LITS division, under the supervision of the Digital Scholarship Specialist. The Fellow’s primary responsibilities will follow two areas of focus: Contextualizing Digital Collections for Teaching and Learning, and Cultivating High-End Digital Experimentation and Competencies among Humanities Faculty and Students. Under "Contextualizing Digital Collections," the Fellow will build on successful projects started through the Albert M. Greenfield Digital Center for the History of Women's Education, notably the award-winning "Black at Bryn Mawr" project and the collaborative digital projects currently underway, including the NEH-funded "College Women" and CLIR Hidden Collections-funded "Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis," by working with student interns to develop teaching and learning resources around the collections and supporting new research projects developed by students and faculty. Under "Cultivating High-End Digital Experimentation," the Fellow will prepare hands-on workshops on digital tools in the humanities, work with graduate and undergraduate interns to develop mastery of particular tools, and work with faculty and students on complex digital projects. In recognition of the importance of innovative scholarship and professional development for this position, 20 percent of the Fellow’s time will be allocated to their own research, writing, giving presentations, and related scholarly activities, with access to generous professional development resources. COMPENSATION: Bryn Mawr College offers a comprehensive compensation and benefits package, including 22 vacation days and generous pension contribution. Bryn Mawr is an equal-opportunity employer committed to building a culturally diverse environment.

Note the mention of Dokumenta at the end of the note. Having been there once I can attest to the value of experiencing work at the highly experimental edge of digital technologies (as well as other kinds). And for those with such interests note that Interdisciplinary Science Reviews will be publishing ca. March 2017 a double issue dedicated to "The experimental generation", co-edited by Bronac Feran and Lizzie Fisher, on the early years of experiments with technology in the creative arts. The contributors are: Stephen Bann, Dean Hawkes, Reg Gadney, George Mallen, Jasia Reichardt, Jonathan Benthall, Steve Willey, Stephen Willats, Liliane Lijn & Barry Miles, Greg Thomas, Bronac Ferran, Elizabeth Fisher, Ernest Edmonds & Francesca Franco, Nick Lambert and Ann Pillar. --WM] Dear Reader, In a world that was spinning long before our arrival, how simple a task is it to declare a beginning or an end? When is a gesture truly our own? The interviews showcased this week pluck knowingly the strings of experience, and answer these questions in song. Differing in approach, yet synthesized by interests, the unflagging minds of Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell [http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E1Q_k&m=h9E0t63Mc63qNqE&b=2sYanqwGqHwc8YoIpA8.hQ] have surmounted a variety of sculptural and digital manifestations, regardless of logistics. United in their pursuit of the personal undercurrent exposed by artistic expression, the two London-based artists have sought out a kind of collaborative poetry written in the language of architecture. Despite any formal training in architecture, intuition has proved itself, for the duo, an invaluable canary in the coalmine of public semiotics. Whether they are refining the aesthetics of the oldest underground railway in the world or experimenting with conceptual and immersive gallery installations, their earnest admiration for the swarms of animated discourse that chatter beneath the panels of our visual world comes to the fore. Zurich-born curatorial juggernaut Hans Ulrich Obrist [http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E1Q_k&m=h9E0t63Mc63qNqE&b=6dVdiLiX5hvM4MOFi7Pflg] is both the glue of the contemporary art world and the applying hand. A paragon of interdisciplinary dialectics, Obrist passes through the junctures that separate objects, ideas, and people like an impulse through a synapse. The medium of his art is the exhibition, and his program is boundless experimentation. Endeavoring to uncover those rare and perceptive thinkers who add new rules to the grand game of art, Obrist follows the straightforward but proven methodology of intimate and repeated conversation - discussions with creators and organizers can sometimes span an entire career. The ideology behind the curator's voracity for material (one that results in the archiving of nearly 3000 hours of interviews) is that of an inclusive and Darwinian global dialogue, adapting and evolving without erasing or replacing. Speaking from the self-ascribed moniker of flâneur, Obrist reassures us that our present and future identities will not be engulfed by the competing diversity of perspectives, but rather enriched and matured by their fervor and ambition. Additional interviews include: Will Corwin [http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E1Q_k&m=h9E0t63Mc63qNqE&b=DefFd.nuqqgswdMNjVxr.w] and Marco Antonini [http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=E1Q_k&m=h9E0t63Mc63qNqE&b=IYKQq0JPhC8981Bz8WXcGA].

In-Reply-To: <20161104080902.0EA1A822A@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Back when I taught a Knowledge Representation and Inference course (on an MSc offered by the AI Department, as it then was, at Edinburgh University) I sometimes (only half jokingly) told students the computational knowledge representations we built were better thought of as cartoons, rather than well designed formal models, of some kind of good reasoning. To work well, like cartoons, our computational representations needed to pick out some easily recognisable aspect, feature, object, person, situation in the world, to use exaggeration to emphasise salient properties of these, and employ plenty of simplification to remove (intended) meaning obscuring clutter. An understanding of how cartoons work often proved useful for building and making work computational representation and reasoning systems. It's just that our cartoons were not meant to be funny. The ways they failed occasionally were though, but mostly just embarrassing.

Thank you for sharing this post with people who may be interested! The new CUNY Humanities Alliance has started a publishing and communication platform, CUNYHumanitiesAlliance.org, built on Wordpress and Commons In A Box. The purpose of the website is to facilitate connections between faculty, mentors, staff, graduate students, and undergraduates that distance and commuting make difficult, and to capture the work of the Humanities Alliance for public outreach and engagement. Our hope is to create a site for crowd-sourced, participant-created content, where students, faculty and staff across multiple campuses can share research, pedagogical innovations, and information about relevant humanities conferences, seminars, workshops and public programming throughout the city. The platform is built with the needs of LaGuardia Community College (CUNY) students in mind to address questions of access. Humanities Alliance development priorities include design and functionality to support mobile use, and minimizing data usage by optimizing images and supporting email replies to discussion forums. The site’s structure will change as the community of users grows and the needs of this living network become evident. About the Humanities Alliance The purpose of the CUNY Humanities Alliance, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, is to train graduate students in the most successful methods for teaching humanities courses to racially and economically diverse undergraduates while also working to support undergraduate community college students in their humanities education and career interests. Graduate students receive robust professional development training and shadow faculty at LaGuardia Community College. Graduate Fellows will then teach their own courses at LaGuardia Community College, with subsites for their courses built on the Humanities Alliance website. For LaGuardia students in the Humanities Alliance courses, the program offers enrichment activities to improve their understanding of the humanities and the pathways that lead to degree completion. Job Description The WordPress Developer will be responsible for building and maintaining a user-friendly and fully functional web platform for the Humanities Alliance. The list of development needs related to this position will change over time, and as its community of users grows. The following is a list of immediate development tasks that reflect that the project is still in the early stages of the process: * Implement responsive design, optimized for most widely used devices * Investigate the amount of data the site currently uses (and optimize media files for users with mobile devices) * Design and implement new page layouts, including blog layout * Add an events module, and incorporate RSS feeds of other Graduate Center calendars * Create documentation for users, including graduate students building course sites on the platform * Evaluate and test use of site navigation, recommending and implementing changes Required Qualifications * 1+ years of experience developing and administering WordPress sites * Ability to create and customize WordPress plug-ins * Proficient in HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, PHP * Development using responsive design, including the use of CSS frameworks (e.g. Bootstrap, SASS, etc) * Experience developing subdomains and subsites * Experience building in test and dev environments, working in cpanels, and with domain redirects * Excellent written and verbal communication skills * Ability to meet deadlines * Ability to work independently, and to maintain regular communication with the Humanities Alliance team Preferred Qualifications * 2-4 years of experience developing and administering WordPress sites * Familiarity and experience developing with the Commons in a Box package based on WordPress/BuddyPress * Background in humanities or working with humanities organizations or institutions * Based in NYC, though most of the work should be remote * Formal experience with UX design * Proficient in Adobe Creative Suite for design * Familiarity with the CUNY system * GitHub experience * Experience with project management software (e.g. Asana) Structure and Pay We are flexible on the structure of the contract. This can be structured as a standard hourly contract for a pre-defined scope of work, with possibility for extensions and future contracts. For applicants who are students of the Graduate Center, this position could be structured as a Graduate Assistantship. The ideal applicant would be open to continuing to support the project through long-term maintenance over the next four years. We anticipate the work being about 80-120 hours per year. Applications Send your cover letter, resume, and sample(s) of your work to website@CUNYHumanitiesAlliance.com. Deadline Review of applications will begin on November 21, 2016; applications received by this date will receive full consideration.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2016 12:05:13 -0700 From: Geoffrey Rockwell Subject: Kelly Gotlieb passes at 95 Last Thursday's Globe and Mail (Canada’s “national newspapers”) had an obituary for Kelly Gotlieb who passed away on October 16th. See Kelly Gotlieb was the father of Canadian computing. Kelly was in many ways the founder of computing in Canada as he ran the University of Toronto Computation Centre that intsalled the first computers in Canada. The obituary isn't entirely correct on all matters as they mention FERUT as the first computer when it was actually the second computer, the first being the test UTEC Jr. which is mentioned in a Globe and Mail story titled “Junior Electronic Brain Cost $100,000” (Len Schrag, Dec. 13, 1951, p. 4) that dates from 1951. The obituary also mentions how Kelly Gotlieb mentored Beatrice Worsley. She was one of two hired to go to the UK and figure out how to run the first computers they were installing. She got a PhD. from Cambridge with a dissertation on "Serial Programming for Real and Idealized Digital Calculating Machines" that Campbell (2003) argues was the first dissertation involving modern computers. When a group of us at the U of Alberta did a survey of documents on computing from the early years in Canada (including Globe articles) we saw a broad curiosity about what computation could do across fields, including the humanities. (Some of this has been reported in Before the Beginning, http://www.digitalstudies.org/ojs/index.php/digital_studies/article/view/214/290 ) In news articles we saw the Computation Centre working with Music profs in 1957 in a Globe article "Strange Music Made By an Electronic Brain." We see an article in 1961 that mentions concording and a new IBM coming. In 1964 there is a story about a project Marshall McLuhan was involved in to investigate the impacts of technology on culture and vice versa. I suspect Gotlieb was instrumental in promoting these and many other experiments in applying computing to different challenges. By all accounts he was generous and a great promoter of computing. As the obituary says,
Dr. Gotlieb was a visionary, not only in the technical issues of machine computation, but also in their potential social implications. In the 1960s, he was chosen by U Thant, Secretary-General of the United Nations, to be one of six world experts advising on how computer technology might assist international development. Years later, he served on Canada’s first federal task force on privacy.

My colleague Hugh Hudson has long curated an archive of solar physics cartoons, now at http://solarmuri.ssl.berkeley.edu/~hhudson/cartoons/ . Solar physics studies a complicated and highly dynamic system -- the upper layers and atmosphere of the sun -- which is well understood on the micro-scale (it's 'just' electromagnetism and plasma physics), but much less well understood on the macro-scale, full of counterintuitive emergent effects and interactions. Like other areas of astronomy, but unlike other areas of physics, solar physics is an observational rather than an experimental science. It therefore can't simplify the object of its study, and must instead simplify its explanation of the rich multi-wavelength imagery it collects. 'What is happening in this picture...?'

I would distinguish a cartoon, which is impressionistic and expository, from a model, which operationalises an understanding of the 'important' aspects of a system. Thus a model is concrete enough (mathematically) that it can be simulated or calculated with, and indeed is capable of being shown to be inadequate in a particular context. I think that biologists also use 'model systems' to refer to particular species, such as mice or fruit-flies or E. Coli, which are particularly suitable for particular types of study . I'm not sure what specific sense of 'model' this usage is picking up, nor quite how it fits into Willard's argument here.

Thus a model is concrete enough (mathematically) that it > can be simulated or calculated with, and indeed is capable of being > shown to be inadequate in a particular context. My understanding is that a mathematical model states a relationship, which then can be operationalised by making the calculation, if by computer then requiring a translation into software (which is a kind of mathematics?) or, if using an analogical machine, into some kind of mechanical or electronic setup. I like to distinguish that sort of thing from modelling, in which the modeller uses and reuses the model as an exploratory instrument. McCloud distinguishes a cartoon from comics, a series laid out and enacted by the reader in time. Could we say that a cartoon operationalises a story? This would require reading understood as enactment. We're dealing with an analogy, of course. So it breaks down, and one does have to probe for the weaknesses. But my earlier point was that McCloud's "amplification through simplification" suggests a parallel, analogous dilation of modelling, its use as a way of imagining and reasoning. Sousanis' Unflattening, which I wrote briefly about a while ago, makes the enactment visceral-cognitive -- the reader is immersed in the model -- as an experimenter is in the experiment? Trim the wild thoughts if you will.

Although it does occasionally feature articles on interdisciplinarity itself -- a subject of continuing debate -- its central aim is to assist in the discovery and articulation of how truly interdisciplinary research is done by publishing notable examples of it. In the forthcoming issue (ISR 41.4), for example, it features articles on the art of Anish Kapoor from the perspective of an engineer; on a "mysterious observation"™, possibly the first, of neutron activation, mentioned vaguely in a manuscript the authors have discovered; and on the effects that individual differences in the psychology of perception had on the literary theoretical debate over the relationship between painting and poetry (ut pictura poesis) in the 18th Century. Following these is a special section publishing the interdisciplinary work of three particularly outstanding undergraduate students, two of them in collaboration with their supervisors. The issue is concluded by four book reviews. Most of ISR's issues are thematic, organised by guest-editors to explore particular topics in some depth. The previous issue (41.2-3) is on the Two Cultures debate, guest-edited by Professor Frank James of the Royal Institution, London. The first (double) issue of 2017 focuses on "The Experimental Generation" of artists who explored the uses of technology and computing, such as were exhibited at Cybernetic Serendipity in 1968 (http://cyberneticserendipity.net/).

Indeed, as I now see, 41.2-3 is at the very last stage of production; 41.4 is right behind it in the schedule for release. Change of publisher this year, with the introduction of new procedures and policies, has meant some delays. ISR's regular quarterly schedule will resume with 42.1-2, "The experimental generation", March 2017. As to the ugly URL I unwittingly included in my posting. Many of these have arrived in Humanist postings, making the messages themselves much harder to read. I admit to being a stickler for formatting and legibility, even in e-mail, so I have corrected these, thinking they were the result of text copied and pasted from websites. Mine was not. Clearly something else is going on. Does anyone here understand the cause?

Regarding the difference between 'cartoons' and 'comics', a key factor is time and layout. The differences between cartoons and comic strips get more blurry (many famous comic strip series have often had single-panel cartoons, which gather additional meaning from their inclusion within a temporal series of multi-panel comic strips). Many in comics studies tend to see cartoons and therefore cartooning as a component of comics (though one can have comics without cartoons- as in photo comics or 'abstract' comics). Robert Fiore has an interested essay on 'cartoony' as an adjective to describe some comics artists' graphic style that might help expand the modelling comparison http://classic.tcj.com/blog/adventures-in-nomenclature-literal-liberal-and-freestyle/. The 'definitional' debate in comics is long and, as in DH, it can become tiresome, and distinctions between cartoons, comics and 'graphic novels' tend to both excite and irritate aficionados, artists and scholars alike. For a conversation about Unflattening between two comics scholars who also make comics (and the other way around), readers might be interested in Wilkins, P. & Herd, D., (2015). Unpacking Unflattening: A Conversation. The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship. 5(1), p.Art. 11.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2016 06:20:06 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: cartoons to comics Thanks to Norman Gray for distinguishing > a cartoon, which is impressionistic and expository, from a model, > which operationalises an understanding of the 'important' aspects of > a system. Thus a model is concrete enough (mathematically) that it > can be simulated or calculated with, and indeed is capable of being > shown to be inadequate in a particular context. My understanding is that a mathematical model states a relationship, which then can be operationalised by making the calculation, if by computer then requiring a translation into software (which is a kind of mathematics?) or, if using an analogical machine, into some kind of mechanical or electronic setup. I like to distinguish that sort of thing from modelling, in which the modeller uses and reuses the model as an exploratory instrument. McCloud distinguishes a cartoon from comics, a series laid out and enacted by the reader in time. Could we say that a cartoon operationalises a story? This would require reading understood as enactment. We're dealing with an analogy, of course. So it breaks down, and one does have to probe for the weaknesses. But my earlier point was that McCloud's "amplification through simplification" suggests a parallel, analogous dilation of modelling, its use as a way of imagining and reasoning. Sousanis' Unflattening, which I wrote briefly about a while ago, makes the enactment visceral-cognitive -- the reader is immersed in the model -- as an experimenter is in the experiment? Trim the wild thoughts if you will.

The format is that of a (social media and web) data sprint, with hands-on work for telling stories with data, together with a programme of keynote speakers and a Mini-conference, where PhD candidates, motivated scholars and advanced graduate students present short papers on digital methods and new media related topics, and receive feedback from the Amsterdam DMI researchers and international participants. Participants need not give a paper at the Mini-conference to attend the Winter School. For a preview of what the event is like, you can view short video clips from previous editions of the Summer School in 2015 and 2014 . The DMI Winter School is pleased to have Geoffrey Bowker (Univ California Irvine) give the opening keynote. He is author (among other works) of Memory Practices in the Sciences and (with Susan Leigh Star) Sorting Things Out: Classification and its Consequences, both published by MIT Press. He is joined as keynote speaker by Shannon Mattern (The New School, New York City) whose work in the journal Places includes discussions of Infrastructural Tourism as well as the History of the Urban Dashboard. Data infrastructures provide the conditions of possibility for social action as well as ways of seeing the world. Among them, online data infrastructures these days range widely from social media API query environments as Facebook’s and Twitter's and secrets repositories and dumps as Wikileaks to interactive databases of missing migrants, uncounted police killings as well as war deaths put together by social researchers and leading newspapers such as the New York Times and the Guardian. Beneath them are data collection regimes with multifarious goals such as corporate data science, state data transparency and investigative data journalism. These data infrastructures have in common with ‘information infrastructures’ studied by G. Bowker and S. Leigh Star often enormous assemblages of socio-epistemological work invisible to the "the user-at-terminal”. The entire project of scanning the library books and putting into place the query infrastructure, the n-gram viewer, of Google Books (to mention another data infrastructure Bowker also pointed to) has been called ‘infrastructuring,’ which may be mapped out with considerable effort. Indeed, certain of the data collection work — whether vast and automated, laborious and manual and/or stealthy — as well as its ‘databasing’ have been visualised in a form of deconstruction that strives to demonstrate the crucial choices about what to collect and make available to the web browser user. For example, Facebook no longer makes friends data accessible, so as to enhance user privacy but it also forestalls research opportunities such as a like analysis of Donald Trump’s friends. This is one contribution digital methods may make to data infrastructure studies by providing a critical diagnostics of infrastructure by examining the data fields available and outputted by the query machine, and the limitations inhering therein. Researchers may reverse engineer the query design and initial outputs, as was the case with the studies of the ICWatch database (on surveillance workers) and the JD database (concerning Fukushima). In an exploration of the ICWatch database, an activist project that sourced intelligence workers' profiles from the social networking sites, LinkedIn and Indeed, researchers also provided network-analytical techniques to clean the database, making the open secrets more credible but also created a typical profile of the surveillance worker. In the Fukushima project researchers found with the use of an historical tweet collection-maker that to check and enrich the (limited) Twitter data set about the Fukushima debates would cost over $10,000. Apart from such critical diagnostics, or the identification of the mechanisms behind the outputs served, digital methods may also repurpose original or typical uses of the databases, and re-narrate the data space and thus the kind of stories they may tell. Stories told from Wikileaks data, for example, often concern how the release of the confidential is endangering or benefits certain states. Indeed one recent narrative (in the New York Times) has it that the leaks benefit the Russian government. Could Wikileaks be put to uses that Julian Assange once called ’scientific journalism’ or tell data stories of other kinds? In one brief study researchers found that Wikileaks data (Afghan warlogs) is rarely used by journalists and bloggers, hardly linking to the original leak as Assange once envisaged. When stories were told, they typically were scandalous, national stories (e.g., supposed military cover-ups). The 2017 Digital Methods Winter School critiques and repurposes data infrastructures and dumps online so as to re-narrate their current dominant uses. The Winter School will include a project on ‘Trump tweets’, which explores longitudinally Donald Trump’s Twitterverse.

Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/ , values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form expresses a critique of the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Michigan State University has been intentionally global http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/ for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/ , a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/ that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships, and capacity building. WIDE http://wide.msu.edu/ has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/ . Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by Friday, December 9, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations - Indigeneity - anywhere in the world - and the digital - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism - Global digital pedagogies - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global contextPresentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposalsProposal form: https://goo.gl/forms/ClMqfXNSi9bAHURl1Kristen Mapes Proposal form: https://goo.gl/forms/ClMqfXNSi9bAHURl1 Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes@msu.edu _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 96B6D8318; Sat, 12 Nov 2016 08:51:41 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id C0230820A; Sat, 12 Nov 2016 08:51:40 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 628268216; Sat, 12 Nov 2016 08:51:38 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161112075138.628268216@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2016 08:51:38 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.485 correcting mistaken spelling 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: <20161112075141.24260.49160@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 485.

It's clear from articles by Stephen Michael Kosslyn ("On the ontological status of visual mental images", 1978), Arne Sølvberg ("Software requirement definition and data models", 1979) and John McCarthy ("Circumscription: A form of non-monotonic reasoning", 1980) that by then the singular noun was crossing from philosophy into computer science. People in the trade will know that Thomas Gruber defined the term for computer science in 1993 and 1995. McCarthy, for one, was familiar with the work of the philosopher Willard Van Orman Quine, who wrote "On what there is" (1948) and "On ontologies" (1949). But as far as I can tell philosophers were not and are not interested in what happened to the word in computer science. Too bad. The big problem I am considering is the relation between the digital modelling machine, which in effect demands pluralisation of 'ontology', and the widespread, in some places very deep, attention to different ways of thinking and being in the world, or to put the matter another way, the great difficulty of positing cognitive universals. Alan Turing's invention of a 'universal' machine became a step in this direction. But as a good friend said to me awhile ago, there's a great difference between a few dozen people talking about something and tens of thousands of people talking about it. Any clues? Discussion?

Yes, this feels right. My understanding is that to operationalise it to give form and mechanism to a description so that what is described can be made to happen. You go on to ask "Could we say that a cartoon operationalises a story? This would require reading understood as enactment." No, I don't think so, but we could say a cartoon dramatises a story--gives it a form and sense that brings it to life. Which, in my mind, would make reading a cartoon an enactment. There is, I think, an important distinction lurking back stage here. Operationalisation can be operationalised, and thus done my a machine. Dramatisation cannot be operationalised. Only living brings a capacity to tell what it takes to bring something to life. I would say. Which is why, I would add, Sousanis' Unflattening is such a dramatic experience to read, and thus take part in. So, what I think we should be saying is that calling a cartoon a model is a poor joke, and calling a model a cartoon isn't funny.

Benzon" Subject: Re: 30.486 ontology to ontologies? In-Reply-To: <20161112094806.CA1F38216@digitalhumanities.org> This is a subject that interests me a great deal, Willard. First, take a look at this Google Ngram query on ontology, semantics, and cognition: http://tinyurl.com/h3jzut7 http://tinyurl.com/h3jzut7 You’ll see that they all start rising in the middle of the previous century. I don’t have a firm sense of when I first saw “ontology” appear in the computing literature in its current sense, but it was likely the late 1970s or early 1980s. I think it first appeared in the artificial intelligence and cognitive science literature in connection with knowledge representation (KR). Various research groups developed their own KR formalisms and, as formalisms proliferated, people began comparing them. “Ontology” emerged as a term & theme under which to conduct the comparison. Each KR formalism posited its own basic set of objects, processes, and properties, that is, its own ontology. The term then migrated from AI and cog sci to computer science more generally. I began working with David Hays in the fall of 1975. At the time he was circulating an essay analyzing the concept alienation, which was published in 1976: David G. Hays (1976). On "Alienation": An Essay in the Psycholinguistics of Science. In (R.R. Geyer & D. R. Schietzer, Eds.): Theories of Alienation. Leiden: Martinus Nijhoff, pp. 169-187. Download here: https://www.academia.edu/9203457/On_Alienation_An_Essay_in_the_Psycholinguistics_of_Science In that paper he introduced the notion of a realm of being along with the relation of assignment. I looked at that and thought, Aristotle. Thus, a concrete object (in one realm of being) consists of an assignment between a form (in one realm of being) and a substance (in another realm of being). Concrete objects, forms, and substances would be represented by nodes in a cognitive network and assignment is the edge that links forms to objects and substances to objects. Similarly, a plant is an assignment between an object and a vegetative soul. And so on up the Great Chain of Being. I wrote that up in an unpublished paper in which I analyzed two short passages from Wm Carlos Williams, Patterson, Book V. Hays and another of his students, David Bloom, published the idea in a book chapter: David G. Hays and D. Bloom (1978). "Designation in English." In Anaphora in Discourse, edited by John V. Hinds. Edmonton, Alta. ; Champaign, Ill. : Linguistic Research. Some years later I wrote up a technical report for the Center for Manufacturing Productivity at RPI: William L. Benzon. Ontology in Knowledge Representation in CIM. Center for Manufacturing Productivity and Technology Transfer, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Report No. CIMNW85TR034, January 1985. Online here: https://www.academia.edu/19804747/Ontology_in_Knowledge_Representation_for_CIM There I ran up a core ontology for the common sense world, but also a fragment for the world of manufacturing. Somewhat later I did an article William Benzon. "Ontology of Common Sense." Handbook of Metaphysics and Ontology. Hans Burkhardt and Barry Smith, eds. Philosophia Verlag, 1991, pp. 159-161. Online: https://www.academia.edu/28723042/Ontology_of_Common_Sense I began by pointing out that, while salt and sodium chloride designate more or less the same substance (the latter is free of impurities, the former is not), the first is defined in a common sense ontology of visual perception, touch, and above all, taste and the second is defined in an abstract scientific ontology of atoms, subatomic particles, and atomic bonds. I’ve gathered a miscellany of observations into a working paper: William Benzon, Ontological Cognition, a Working Paper, November 2012. Online here: https://www.academia.edu/7931749/Ontological_Cognition The section, “The Great Chain of Being as a Conceptual Structure” (pp. 26-29) lays out the basic scheme we developed with Hays back in the 1970s. As I’ve indicated, the work I did with Hays involves the assignment relation. That allowed us to account for and describe ontology as something that happens within conceptual structure rather than being something one observes about cognitive structure from the outside. As far as I know, no one else in the knowledge representation business quite got the point of this, the idea that there is an ontological dimension of cognition. In 1989 George Layoff and Mark Turner discussed the Great Chain of Being in More Than Cool Reason, but they just saw it as a complex and sophisticated metaphorical construction. They didn’t get the idea of an ontological dimension to cognition either. Within the last couple of years, however, Bruno Latour has been publishing on the idea of modes of existence. The main text would be An Inquiry Into Modes of Existence (Harvard 2013), which I’ve not read, but I’ve read shorter treatments (e.g. On the Modern Cult of the Factish Gods). This, of course, has an ontological caste. You mention Turing and his famous abstract machine. The current controversy within linguistics concerning the status of recursion is related to that. Chomsky asserts that recursion is the defining property of universal grammar. Others, most prominently Daniel Everett, argue that there are languages without recursion. Finally, there is Dan Dennett. You might want to look at his video, ‘Ontology, science, and the evolution of the manifest image’: https://youtu.be/GcVKxeKFCHE Among other things he asks us to imagine the ontology of an elevator’s control system and talks about pseudo code. I hope some of this is useful.

The tutorial is organised by the /electronic Text Reuse Acquisition Project/ (eTRAP), based at the University of Göttingen, in collaboration with Fabio Ciotti and the /Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network/ (DiXiT). The tutorial addresses participants who are interested in finding text reuse between two or multiple texts (in the same language). It teaches them how to explore, use and semi-automatically run TRACER (http://www.etrap.eu/research/tracer/) in order to detect and visualise text reuse in multifarious corpora. Moreover, it strongly encourages participants to adapt and apply newly acquired knowledge to their personal research in order to establish collaborations and produce joint publications.

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. We received thirty-eight contributions, from which the programme committee selected a high-quality, interdisciplinary program with eight oral presentations and seventeen poster presentations. The proceedings are going to appear in the ACL anthology soon.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2016 13:29:21 +0100 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 30.486 ontology to ontologies? In-Reply-To: <20161112094806.CA1F38216@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I would be careful not to confuse ontology and Ontology. Philosophers work on ontology (lower-case 'o'): the metaphysics of being; the study of ontic (of that which is) choices and decisions and their implications and consequences. An Ontology (with capital 'O'--the convention used to make the distinction) is a set of concepts or classes, used in some domain of knowledge, that attempts to capture and specify their properties and the relations between them. Or, as Gruber put it, An ontology defines a set of representational primitives with which to model a domain of knowledge or discourse. Ontologies, sometimes (and perhaps better) called Terminologies, have become an important part of the practices of Knowledge Representation and Knowledge Modelling, Knowledge Engineering, and (certain kinds of) Knowledge Management. Yes, the term "ontology" did find its way out of philosophy into Computer Science and Engineering (via AI, I would say), but it did not retain its meaning in the crossing. It was given a different meaning upon its arrival in AI, most often remembered with the Gruber definition. The (unconfirmed) story of what happened (attributed to someone described as being a philosopher) is that one day some lost Knowledge Representation-alists happened upon a Philosophy Shop. Through the window, the the KR-alists saw some Philosophers doing ontology. Excited at seeing some serious scholars hard at work, and a little envious, the KR-alists smashed the window, grabbed what the Philosophers were working on, and ran off as fast as their computational legs could carry them, never to be seen near a Philosophy Shop again. Not understanding what they had stolen, but having heard the Philosophers talking of "ontology," the KR-alists decided to call what they had, an Ontology, and discovered that they could use it to do better some of the knowledge representation jobs they had been stuck on, before they dropped their work to go wandering. (A story I was told a long time ago by someone I don't remember.) There's not a complete dislocation between ontology and Ontology, as we can see. They sort of join back-to-back, but face in opposite directions: ontology looks into what can be said to exist, and the consequences that derive from this; Ontology building takes it that knowledge about things exists, and looks at how this can be categorised and related. Nicolai Hartmann, a philosopher, and proponent of Critical Realism, but largely unknown in AI, developed a position that can be seen as bridging ontology and Ontologies. For Hartmann ontics was about pre-categorical and pre-objectual connections expressed as relations to transcendent acts, ontology was about the categorical analysis of entities by means of the knowledge categories able to classify them, and metaphysics was (the part of ontics and ontology) concerned with the residue of being that cannot be rationalised further according to categories. But Hartmann's philosophy is not "main stream" ontology, and, as I say, little known and understood by KR-lists: they remain wary of Philosophy Shops. Best regards, Tim ... who now uses Ontology building tools to build models of States of the Art for research and for preparing Critical State of the Art reviews. > On 12 Nov 2016, at 10:48, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 486. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 12 Nov 2016 09:07:59 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: ontology to ontologies > > I'm looking within the long moment of transition from 'ontology' to > 'ontologies' for it to be noticed and discussed within computer science > & engineering -- or for a suitable retrospective account.

The workshop will take place on Tuesday, January 24, 2016, in conjunction with the AIUCD 2017 Conference and the 3rd EADH Day (aiucd2017.aiucd.it) at the Sapienza University of Roma. Keynote speech by Agiatis Benardou, Senior Researcher at the Digital Curation Unit, ATHENA R.C. and manager of Europeana Research: “’Signatures of all things I am here to read’: Digital Research as Practice, Digital Networks as Public Engagement”. Invited talk by Silvia Orlandi, Associate Professor of Latin Epigraphy at Sapienza University: “EAGLE dedicated services and their educational potential”. The goal of the workshop is to share experiences and foster theoretical reflections about the impact of digital scholarly editing products and methods, primarily in the educational context, but also in the more general social context. The use of digital technologies in teaching prompts a reflection on the added value of using these technologies and raises some controversial questions. At the same time, digital research outcomes and methods should not be considered as separate from the more general cultural and social context. In this sense, digital scholarly editions can play a relevant role in the public engagement of humanities scholarship. These topics can be articulated in the following issues: - the digital editions in teaching philology and textual criticism - digital editions in disciplinary context - digital editions and their social impact - digital editions and academic publishing - digital editions and public humanities The organizers solicit proposals for interventions in form of papers, small tutorials session, round table and lightening talks. Abstracts of max 500 words can be submitted via the AIUCD 2017 ConfTool, available at http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017/ http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017/ . The official language of the Workshop is English. Submitters must create an account on the system and then use the specific type of submission “DIXIT Workshop”.

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

See http://johndonnesociety.org/awards.html for more on this award. To my mind Virtual St Paul's is special because it is paradoxically the most intellectually adventurous of scholarly digital projects that I know while being among the most cautious. It is easier to hang back from the precipice and play it safe with more of what has been done before, easier also to be flamboyantly reckless, proclaiming in a cloud of jargon a post-whatever, a turn to whatever. But to go to the edge of the securely known and probe with all at one's disposal into what might be known, or more accurately, what knowing whatever it is might amount to, that to me is impressive. Sorry I cannot be clearer. Best to go to John N. Wall, "Gazing into Imaginary Spaces: Digital Modeling and the Representation of Reality", in Early Modern Studies after the Digital Turn, ed.

In recent years, especially after the work of Vivieros de Castro in South America in anthropology and the work of John Law and Helen Verran in science and technology studies, the term ontology is now being used to label potentially noncoherent (that is, radically incommensurable and irreconcilable) ways of knowing-and-being-in the world. This especially engages with questions of relativism, animism and natural resource management by communities that do not accept human exclusivism, either as a precondition for valid knowledge or what Barthes called (in Empire of Signs) the topologically double Western human self with its interior/exterior divide. All of which folds back into Humanist's work because Helen Verran has done practical work on designing computer systems for the (in)adequate storage of the accumulated knowledge of Australian indigenous communities, with all the challenges of access and representation that one might expect.

It's something different with the same name that may as well be called anything else. A pig doesn't smell as sweet as a rose because it's called 'Rose'. A very large comprehensive thesaurus is just that, and useful for your software problem, whether you call it an 'ontology' or not - and a big list of associated words has little to do with philosophical inquiry into "what is?" except that philosophers figured out a long time ago that attempts at complete categorisation and one to one representation of objective reality are doomed to failure for many, many, many reasons and so is a relatively uninteresting topic. You may as well wonder why philosophers aren't much interested in polymorphism, associative arrays or class inheritance. If you imagine what they might mean in philosophy, that's kind of interesting but it has little to do with their specific meanings and usefulness in IT.

Prior teaching experience has brought me to the conclusion that any curriculum of more than two or three classes needs to have some sort of introductory (perhaps even remedial) course available for students to get comfortable with how their computers work and what sort of behavior to expect from these technological beasts. To that end I am trying to gather a list of concepts and trivia that should be covered over the course of 24-30 contact hours. The end result should be that the students can take further DH courses without needing an explanation of the command line, the filesystem, or program shells, and ideally will know how to Google for the cause of an error message and perhaps even understand most of an answer on Stack Overflow. The list as it stands is available here . I will be only too happy to maintain it as a resource for anyone else who wants to set up a similar course!

This trend contradicts the theory that a mutation related to brain function caused a sudden and relatively recent cognitive revolution in our lineage. However, the alternative theory of gradual biological evolution may not fit the archaeological record, either. Traditions within populations are discontinuous in time and space, while independent populations can converge on common practices. Accordingly, there is a growing consensus that changes in the archaeological record of human behavior are better explained by changes in local conditions, such as ecology, demography, and culture. What does this consensus tell us about the origins of symbolic cognition? Given increasingly older dates for key innovations and the shift in explanatory focus from internal biology to external factors, the mainstream argument is that cognitive modernity must be much older than previously thought. The workshop will critically evaluate the assumed identification of biological continuity with cognitive continuity. It will also consider to what extent cognitive capacities are innate and context independent, and will explore the tensions between such a nativist theory of cognition and recent developments in cognitive science, which emphasize that cognition is scaffolded, extended, and even constituted by behavioral practices. Contributions to this workshop will consider possible explanations of distinctive features of symbolic minds - explanations that may depend not only or mainly on having the right kind of biological capacities but more pivotally on transforming them via interaction with the appropriate culturally created local conditions. This workshop brings together archaeologists and philosophers working at the University of Wollongong (UOW) to explore the implications of these developments for cognitive archaeology and for cognitive science more generally.

NLP technologies now play a role in business applications and decision processes that affect billions of people on a daily basis. However, increasing amounts of data and computational power also mean increased responsibility and new questions for researchers and practitioners. For example, are we inadvertently building unfair biases into our data sets and models? What information is it ethical to infer from user data? How can we prioritize accountability and transparency? What are the big-picture ethical consequences and implications of our work? This one-day, interdisciplinary workshop will bring together researchers and practitioners in NLP with researchers in the humanities, social sciences, public policy, and law to identify and discuss some of the most pressing issues surrounding ethics in NLP. The focus will be on ethics as it relates to the practice of NLP-i.e., actual uses of NLP technologies-not on general aspects of academic ethics (e.g., conflicts of interest, double blind reviewing, etc.), unless they can be addressed with NLP technologies. The workshop will consist of * invited talks, * contributed talks and posters, * panel discussions. Topics of Interest: We invite submissions by researchers and practitioners in NLP as well as the humanities, social sciences, public policy, and law on any area of NLP related to: * Bias in NLP models (e.g., reporting bias, implicit bias). * Exclusion and inclusion (e.g., exclusion of certain groups or beliefs, how/when to include stakeholders and representatives for the user population to be served). * Overgeneralization (e.g., making false classifications on tasks including authorship attribution, NER, knowledge base population). * Exposure (e.g., underrepresentation/overrepresentation of languages or groups). * Dual use (e.g., the positive and negative aspects of NLP applications, the close relationship between government and industry interests and NLP research). * Privacy protection (e.g., anonymization of biomedical documents, best practices for researchers in industry to ensure the privacy of their users' data, educating the public about how much industry and government may know about them, privacy protection for data annotated with non-linguistic features such as emotion). * Any other topic which concerns ethical considerations in NLP. Paper submission: Submissions have to be made electronically via the START submission system: https://www.softconf.com/eacl2017/EthNLP/. Submissions should be in PDF format and anonymized for review. All submissions must be written in English and follow the EACL 2017 formatting requirements (available on the EACL 2017 website: http://eacl2017.org/index.php/calls/call-for-papers). We strongly advise the use of the LaTeX template files provided by EACL 2017: http://eacl2017.org/index.php/calls/call-for-papers . * Each long paper submission must consist of up to eight pages of content, plus two pages for references. Accepted long papers will be given one additional page (i.e., up to nine pages) for content, with unlimited pages for references. * Each short paper submission must consist of up to four pages of content, plus two pages for references. Accepted short papers will also be given one additional page (i.e., up to five pages) of content, with unlimited pages for references. All submissions will be peer reviewed, but authors can opt for non-archival submission, since some journals won't accept work that has been published previously.

Mellon Foundation, will host a two-day conference on the theme of global-local experiments in the arts and humanities. The sciences and the arts have long used experimental methods to move from local circumstances (or, “deracinated particulars” in Francis Bacon’s words) to general, global discoveries, knowledge, and modes of expression. Over two days, this conference will foreground conversations that address the challenge of negotiating place-specific research and teaching with the desire for global interactions and exchanges. We hope to draw in a range of voices on broader questions regarding the challenges involved in moving across sites and scales of analysis and practice from different critical and historical perspectives. Experimental Humanities is Bard’s liberal arts-driven answer to the Digital Humanities; it is an interdisciplinary scholarly and curricular initiative that examines how technologies mediate what it means to be human, using theoretical, historical, and practice-based methods. The conference will provide an opportunity to ask, what features of this approach and the approaches of other institutions can be adapted to different educational, social, and institutional contexts. Alternating between plenary and parallel sessions, this conference will consider how the global and local intersect in digital practice and humanities-based experimentation. We invite proposals on topics, which may include, but are not limited to: - Critical approaches to scale (distant reading, macroanalysis, and so on) - Inter-institutional pedagogical strategies - Site-specific performance and art - Uses of social media to connect scholars and students across geographical contexts - Public history/crowdsourcing projects - Visualization methods for producing new perspectives on global-local connections - Incorporating digital practices and theory within liberal arts colleges and in undergraduate settings more broadly We are especially interested in exploring potential presentation structures that challenge the traditional academic paper format within the 20 minute period of the talk. For example, presentations could be a conversation with a close collaborator, a discussion of the connection between your research and teaching/collaborations with undergraduate or graduate students, a performance or exhibition, etc. Submit your proposal, including a 300-word abstract, for presentations HERE . We will be accepting proposals until *January 15, 2017*. Registration for the conference will open in December 2016.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 06:50:25 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: state of relations? This is a question answers to which will be especially helpful if they come from a wide variety of disciplines. Certain knowledge would be good but is unlikely, so guesses will do. Here's the question: How congruent is digital humanities with the central concerns of your discipline? What is its potential to change the discipline in ways that you think would be healthy AND that are recognised as such or have a good chance of becoming thus recognised? The history of digital humanities from the late 1940s until the 1990s suggests to me that congruence (not subservience, not revolutionary insurrection) is crucial. Though the ranting of the ignored and the din of battle tell us much about both computing and the humanities, the transformations that people seem to want come about by like answering to like.

In-Reply-To: <20161116070147.7E38E81FC@digitalhumanities.org> Why not subservience? How can congruence and subservience be two different things until DH is coherently theorized in some way that is relatively independent of any humanities discipline (try to imagine what that would look like)? Otherwise, the computing component of DH can only relate to the humanities component of DH as a set of tools or practices, most of which have been around for quite some time. I think the persons who tried to perform this task would need dual doctorates in humanities and computing. I'd imagine the humanities discipline would be philosophy, maybe working with people like Robert Brandom. Another fruitful path might be the creative route, but I think we'd still need a high level of dual competence, and only computing people would be able to appreciate the end product.

In-Reply-To: <20161116070147.7E38E81FC@digitalhumanities.org> Why not subservience? How can congruence and subservience be two different things until DH is coherently theorized in some way that is relatively independent of any humanities discipline (try to imagine what that would look like)? Otherwise, the computing component of DH can only relate to the humanities component of DH as a set of tools or practices, most of which have been around for quite some time. I think the persons who tried to perform this task would need dual doctorates in humanities and computing. I'd imagine the humanities discipline would be philosophy, maybe working with people like Robert Brandom. Another fruitful path might be the creative route, but I think we'd still need a high level of dual competence, and only computing people would be able to appreciate the end product.

But I wonder: what would any discipline in the humanities look like if coherently theorized? Take history, for example. Would all historians welcome that ? (Historically speaking, some have thundered against any explicitly stated coherence and written books in answer to the problem.) At least some students of English literature (to pick another example) would say that they're still recovering from having been theorized. In other words, with regards to disciplines it seems to me that there are at least two problems here. One is certainly with the term 'theory', which needs a great deal more thought if it is to be used other than as a synonym for 'notion' or 'idea'. Isn't its meaning relative to the disciplinary context in which it is used? I would think that it should carry a cognitive health-warning: don't make me into a transcendental virtue. The word slips and slides all over the place. Even now, after so much careful thought, powerful arguments and beautiful work, it still sneaks into our discussions the ghost of an old, abandoned physics. The other problem is with 'coherent'. Does a theorised discipline pass if there are many internally coherent theories of it? Do they need to be compatible with each other? But still James' challenge admonishes helpfully. My version of it is a question: how is digital humanities of as well as in the humanities? I say, let's wield the power of those two prepositions to imagine what a free-standing, collegial digital humanities would look like, not worried about its internal politics but worrying its intellectual agenda. My notion (or theory, if you like) is that it comes from asking this question of relations -- asking it of every discipline with which digital humanities has some relation. Last night I attended the launch of the new King's Digital Lab (https://www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk), complementing its parent Department of Digital Humanities. The website defines it: "We create digital tools to explore academic research in new ways." Finding out by making things, the creation of 'thing knowledge', about which philosopher Davis Baird (in a book of that title) has more than adequately theorised, as have a number of others, e.g. Lorraine Daston and her group at the Max Planck Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Berlin. Perhaps we can see the Digital Lab's short sentence as an admirably succinct statement of a coherent theory? Comments?

Through *Piloting Linked Open Data for Artists' Books*, we envision addressing larger issues of enriching user discovery and resultant scholarship of physical objects not adequately described by current practices. By displaying our vision and sharing outcome yielded from this incubator project, we believe that engaging and fostering new developments in resource description has the potential to change humanities scholarship. During this one-year initiative, we explored and tested a series of resources and tools, and developed workflows that can potentially be implemented at a larger scale and by other institutions. Staff with various expertise at UCI Libraries worked closely at all stages of the project to achieve the goals written in the grant proposal. Major deliverables include high-quality digital surrogates, RDF-XML metadata enriched from MARC records and integrating linked open data such as URIs, and a discovery tool featuring visualizations.

In-Reply-To: <20161117073415.86ED28249@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Rosa, You might be interested in a project I've worked on where we created a Linked Dataset of the proceedings of the European Parliament, linked to biographical data of the members of parliament. The project was called Talk of Europe, and this dataset contains 21 different languages from the EU. For more about the project see http://www.talkofeurope.eu/2014/01/about/, where you can also find publications and a SPARQL endpoint for the data. Feel free to send me an email if you have further questions.

I was thinking at the time that people would have to be able to read code to appreciate a poetics of code, so then only "computing people" (in the sense of people with computing competence) would be able to understand it. But if it's code, it may well render something on a screen too, or produce some kind of activity, and people wouldn't need to know the code to appreciate that. Many thanks for Willard's, as usual, great questions and engagement. I would say that history and English are coherently theorized in a number of rival, internally coherent ways, but that these different ways of theorizing these fields don't need to be coherent with one another for the field to be "coherently theorized." I'm imagining the only conditions for any field of study to be "coherently theorized" is for one internally consistent way of theorizing the field to arise. Multiple internally consistent ways of theorizing a field is all the better even if it makes a broad view of the field somewhat of a mess. Can you have a "free standing" "digital humanities" if it's both "digital" and "humanities"? I think you can if DH creates a way of thinking about humanities (art, literature, philosophy, history, music) independent of existing work in the humanities. I don't think that any practice or method that existed prior to the rise of computing and carried out by hand is allowed to stand in for a new method or way of thinking, which includes statistical analysis of word counts, etc. I don't see this as a bad thing. I'm curious why we need an independent DH if we're not concerned about politics, funding, and research?

In-Reply-To: <20161112094806.CA1F38216@digitalhumanities.org> Big Enterprise applications such as car design, plane manufacturing and defense acquisition saw the collision of multiple ontologies in the late 1970s. This is refered to in the history of STEP http://ws680.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=821224 discussing the The Interim Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES). "CAD systems were less than ten years old, and there were only a handful of products with any significant market penetration. Even at this early stage, users were overwhelmed by the inability to share data among these tools and with their own internally-developed databases. In September 1979, frustration came to a head at the two-day Air Force ICAM Industry Days Meeting. On the first day, a representative from General Electric (GE) challenged a panel of CAD vendors, which included ComputerVision, Applicon, and Gerber, in essence, to stop blocking progress and work together to enable an exchange mechanism.

I would not want to see a future where digital humanities turns away from engaging in certain relations out of a misplaced sense of pride. I am not suggesting an embrace of "subservience" but a meditation upon the notion of service. I propose that the orientation to the other disciplines goes through another player: the public. I am inspired by the recent work of Kathleen Fitzpatrick. She has undertaken to share in public preliminary work about what I would call an academic ethics. She is working to flesh out what she calls "generous thinking". Key to that generosity is the manner in which we listen. She writes: I am primarily focused on the ways that we as professors and scholars communicate with a range of broader publics about our work. And some focused thinking about the ways we communicate with those publics is in order, I would suggest, because many of our fields are facing crises that we cannot solve on our own. In case you think this turn to reflect on broader publics is facile, consider how it is characterized as difficult work: But I want to acknowledge that adopting a mode of generous thinking is a task that is simultaneously extremely difficult and easily dismissible. We are accustomed to a mode of thought that rebuts, that questions, that complicates, and the kinds of listening and openness for which I am here advocating may well be taken as acceding to a form of cultural naïveté at best, or worse, a politically regressive knuckling-under to the pressures of neoliberal ideologies and institutions. This is the sense in which Rita Felski suggests that scholars have internalized “the assumption that whatever is not critical must therefore be uncritical” http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/generous-thinking-introduction/ I invite subscribers to Humanist to take a few minutes to peruse the blog and entry and its comments (a simple search of "listening" will bring you some salient passages). One of the comments might be useful in thinking about relations as experiments. Your invocation of humility brought to mind a formulation found in Catharine R. Stimpson. Where the Meanings Are: Feminism and Cultural Spaces: "humility, a recognition that the self cannot be an exemplum, only an experiment". I am looking forward to reading more. I think that somewhere along the way you and your readers will be broaching the link between the experimental [which we associate with the sciences] and the experiential [which we associate with the performing arts] — the humanities seem to occupy the metadiscursive space that examines and comments upon the experimental and the experiential. In any carry, Fitzpatrick's commitment to the public sphere reverberates in the the relations between disciplines. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1AF2E833C; Mon, 21 Nov 2016 07:23:32 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 54E5B8331; Mon, 21 Nov 2016 07:23:31 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4E97D8338; Mon, 21 Nov 2016 07:23:26 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161121062327.4E97D8338@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 07:23:26 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.511 Latour, digital humanities & divisions of knowledge?

Back in late August I launched my PhD project, The Victorian Illustrated Shakespeare Archive (shakespeareillustration.org). It contains over 3000 illustrations from four of the most significant illustrated editions of Shakespeare's works in the Victorian period. All images have been tagged bibliographically and iconographically and there are numerous pathways through the archive. To learn more have a read of: http://hyperallergic.com/326101/to-browse-or-not-to-browse-3000-victorian-illustrations-of-shakespeare-published-online/ And: http://www.openculture.com/2016/09/3000-illustrations-of-shakespeares-complete-works-from-victorian-england.html All the very best, Michael Michael Goodman RA on Cardiff University's Digital Humanities Network School of English, Communication and Philosophy Cardiff University John Percival Building Colum Drive Cardiff CF10 3EU Cardiffdigitalnetwork.org http://cardiffdigitalnetwork.org/ @CUdigitalnet Victorian Illustrated Shakespeare Archive @mikeygoodman1 _______________________________________________ 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 BC7558347; Tue, 22 Nov 2016 07:38:50 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8EB8C8337; Tue, 22 Nov 2016 07:38:49 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A7D288156; Tue, 22 Nov 2016 07:38:47 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161122063847.A7D288156@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 07:38:47 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.514 multilingual linked 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: <20161122063850.27332.15065@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 514.

Best, Matthew Farrell BitCurator User Forum 2017 Call for Papers The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) is accepting proposals for the 2017 BitCurator User Forum, to be held April 27 - 28 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. An international, community-led organization with over 25 member institutions, the BCC promotes and supports the BitCurator environment, an open source environment of digital forensics tools for use in libraries, archives, museums, and other educational applications. Digital Forensics: The academic library and beyond Over the last decade, cultural heritage institutions have applied techniques and software developed for criminal investigation and prosecution to their own work. These applications have repurposed automated processes in unintended ways, leading to new ways of engaging with digital materials. We want to hear your experiences and visions of how digital forensics affects your work. We invite proposals for the following session formats: * Presentations * Panels * Lightning Talks * Birds-of-a-Feather discussions * Day-long sessions that address real world problems or needs to make progress against Other session formats are welcome, especially sessions that incorporate interactivity and audience participation. We invite presentations that address any topic related to digital forensics. Topics of particular interest include: * ethical concerns: how might donor relations and/or institutional risk tolerance affect forensic analysis * records management: how can forensic analysis support records management activities * donor and curatorial relations: challenges and opportunities when working with donors and/or curators * process automation: use of scripting and related methods to support efficiency * data management: intersections between research data and forensic analysis * digital humanities: support for digital humanities work * practical uses outside of archival workflows: researcher use, data mining, related special projects Submission Information Presentations 1 - 2 presenters, 45 - 60 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. This format is intended for one or two speakers presenting a single perspective, piece of research, or practical investigation. We encourage presentations to move beyond the case study and address pressing issues, best practices, opportunities for collaboration, visions, and expanded uses for digital forensics in libraries, archives, and museums. Panels 3 - 5 presenters, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract. If submitting as an solo speaker, individual panelists may be matched by the BCC Program Committee based on complementarity of subjects or overarching themes. We encourage panels to represent a range of professional backgrounds and experience. Proposals that include diverse perspectives (i.e., faculty, students, community members, archivists, and/or multiple institutions) are strongly encouraged. Alternative panel formats (pecha kucha, lightning talks followed by small group discussions, or others) that will facilitate dialogue and enlarge participation are also invited. Birds-of-a-Feather Discussions 1 - 2 leaders, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are networking opportunities in which presenters will lead an informal discussion about a chosen topic for fellow practitioners. Birds-of-a-Feather discussions may be scheduled during lunch or as a concurrent session. Lightning Talks 1 presenter, 5-12 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Lightning talks are a great format for case studies, digital forensics "success stories" or "tragic tales," and research updates. Real world issues We welcome the submission of issues you're experiencing in your regular work with respect to digital forensics tools, whether it be desired functionality, automation that may not yet exist, or other workflow breakdowns. Filling out this form will help us create a longform, hands-on session that will tackle one or more identified needs. Review The BCC Program Committee will review and accept abstracts based on their relevance to the conference theme and audience; the clarity of description; and their potential for inspiring discussion, collaboration, and innovation. Deadlines Submission Deadline: January 15, 2017 Acceptance Notification: February 15, 2017 How to Submit Submit proposals here. Eligibility & Requirements We welcome proposals from archivists, librarians, digital forensics software and systems providers (vendors), scholars, students, and other individuals working with digital forensics on a regular basis, at both BCC member institutions and non-member institutions, large and small. Presenters must register for and attend the conference. Presenters must also sign and submit a speaker agreement granting permission to the BCC to distribute their slides online with a CC-BY license. Some sessions will be recorded and distributed online, with permission from the presenters. These presenters will also be asked to sign and submit an agreement granting permission to the BCC to record presentations and distribute recordings online with a CC-BY license. Exceptions to the CC-BY license will be considered on a case-by-case basis. BitCurator Consortium The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) is an independent, community-led membership association that serves as the host and center of administrative, user and community support for the BitCurator environment. Its purpose is to support the curation of born-digital materials through the application of open-source digital forensics tools by institutions responsible for such materials. The BCC is now welcoming institutions in all sectors and nations to join as General Members. Member benefits include: * Access to the BCC help desk * Prioritization in future feature and enhancement requests * Dedicated educational offerings * Voting rights * Eligibility to serve on the BCC Executive Council and Committees * Service opportunities * Community engagement and networking * Professional development and training * Subscription to a dedicated BCC member mailing list * Special rates for BCC events, including the annual BitCurator User Forum The BCC exists to ensure that the BitCurator community continues to thrive in the years to come. Please consider joining this growing community of practice and international conversation around this emerging set of practices.

I understand you to mean the holding of code as a separate, valued product. Hence a poetics, and a critique, become possible. This is intuitively what one wants because it goes well beyond the (substantive and useful) proof and refactoring movements of the 1980s and 1990s which also operated self consciously on code but were generated from within the field. But 'intuitively wanting' it was not enough to bring it into being. That had to wait until the clash of IT and humanities: a clash which is productive, or so I thought / think. But Francois bids us embrace Kathleen Fitzpatrick's 'generous thinking' and perhaps any kind of 'clash' cannot be encompassed in that. KF emphasises that critique must not be thrown out but must be - added to, I suppose - so that the object is enlarged and not lost. There is an obvious analogy with the stretched intellectual operations of a teacher or museum guide speaking to a class / group whose existing knowledge she is ignorant of: every sentence must be hyper-reactive, at the same time as moving a narrative forward so as to offer / enable a coherent experience.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2016 10:39:09 -0500 (EST) From: lachance@chass.utoronto.ca Subject: state of relations In-Reply-To: <20161119062220.377008312@digitalhumanities.org> Willard In the thread on the state of relations between digital humanities and other disciplines I was sparked by the mention of "subservience" to contemplate the notion of service in general. I would not want to see a future where digital humanities turns away from engaging in certain relations out of a misplaced sense of pride. I am not suggesting an embrace of "subservience" but a meditation upon the notion of service. I propose that the orientation to the other disciplines goes through another player: the public. I am inspired by the recent work of Kathleen Fitzpatrick. She has undertaken to share in public preliminary work about what I would call an academic ethics. She is working to flesh out what she calls "generous thinking". Key to that generosity is the manner in which we listen. She writes: I am primarily focused on the ways that we as professors and scholars communicate with a range of broader publics about our work. And some focused thinking about the ways we communicate with those publics is in order, I would suggest, because many of our fields are facing crises that we cannot solve on our own. In case you think this turn to reflect on broader publics is facile, consider how it is characterized as difficult work: But I want to acknowledge that adopting a mode of generous thinking is a task that is simultaneously extremely difficult and easily dismissible. We are accustomed to a mode of thought that rebuts, that questions, that complicates, and the kinds of listening and openness for which I am here advocating may well be taken as acceding to a form of cultural naïveté at best, or worse, a politically regressive knuckling-under to the pressures of neoliberal ideologies and institutions. This is the sense in which Rita Felski suggests that scholars have internalized “the assumption that whatever is not critical must therefore be uncritical” http://www.plannedobsolescence.net/generous-thinking-introduction/ I invite subscribers to Humanist to take a few minutes to peruse the blog and entry and its comments (a simple search of "listening" will bring you some salient passages). One of the comments might be useful in thinking about relations as experiments. Your invocation of humility brought to mind a formulation found in Catharine R. Stimpson. Where the Meanings Are: Feminism and Cultural Spaces: "humility, a recognition that the self cannot be an exemplum, only an experiment". I am looking forward to reading more. I think that somewhere along the way you and your readers will be broaching the link between the experimental [which we associate with the sciences] and the experiential [which we associate with the performing arts] — the humanities seem to occupy the metadiscursive space that examines and comments upon the experimental and the experiential. In any carry, Fitzpatrick's commitment to the public sphere reverberates in the the relations between disciplines. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 42EF38347; Tue, 22 Nov 2016 10:21:40 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6D9258193; Tue, 22 Nov 2016 10:21:39 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 06C7A8334; Tue, 22 Nov 2016 10:21:36 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161122092137.06C7A8334@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 10:21:36 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.517 Who will command the robot armies?

This two-day conference has a triple aim. First, gathering scholars and researchers from a variety of disciplines working on theoretical and empirical analysis of computer network histories. Second, providing a wide perspective on these histories, including case studies from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania as well as international organizations dealing with the control and management of networks: this interdisciplinary and international debate could be useful to compare worldwide experiences and to provide new frames on this topic. Third, the conference aims to develop new frameworks and a space of discussion on the historical role of computer networks, representing the starting point of an international community of scholars. Potential topics may include, but are in no way limited to, the following: - The origins and development of computer networks under a local, national, international, or transnational perspective; - Political, economic, and cultural representations of computer networks in Western and Eastern cultures; - Comparative analysis of early and late networks; - Physical infrastructures and materiality of computer networks; - The political economy of national digital infrastructures; - Histories of the digitalization of analogic networks; - The history of failed and forgotten computer networks projects; - The influence of early computer networks on the development of the Internet and of the World Wide Web; - The cultural and social history of computer networks communities (e.g. communitarian networks, academic networks, professional networks, civic networks). All the authors are invited to send an abstract of a max 500 words and a short bio by February 28, 2017 to nethistories@gmail.com . All invited speakers interested in publish their papers in the journal revue Histoire et Informatique will be asked to send a paper of max 5000 words by October 31, 2017. Conference venue The two-day conference will take place in Lugano, Switzerland, hosted by the Faculty of Communication Sciences of USI – Università della Svizzera italiana. The organizing committee comes from a collaboration between the Institute of Media and Journalism (IMeG) of USI and the Association Histoire & Informatique Suisse of Bern.

It also saw the close of a bitterly contentious and divisive US national presidential election and the opening of a fortnight of violence, fear, and emboldened hate. I addressed the community on November 10th with an “Open Invitation ” to use the Digital Library Federation as a counter-platform to forces like these: “Use this federation, this DLF. It is yours. Its whole purpose is to be a framework for what you need. [Use it] to create—or resist.” It is in that spirit that we re-affirm the DLF’s longstanding commitment to diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice. Now more than ever, organizations like the Digital Library Federation, the institutions that make up our membership , and the countless individual people who so generously volunteer their time through DLF channels, to work toward the most noble purposes and possibilities for library tech, must stand up for our professional values—values like intellectual freedom and the open exchange of ideas, privacy and security, the honoring of cultural understanding and scientific expertise, and an unwavering commitment to equitable access to information in safe and welcoming digital and physical environments. We must also stand for our shared humanity, and the protection and liberation of the most vulnerable and least free among us. It is in the spirit of community-based platforms for creation and resistance that we offer a new DLF Organizers’ Toolkit . The Digital Library Federation enthusiastically invites you to use this toolkit (as a guide to using us better!), and we welcome your help in improving the resources gathered there. * Visit the DLF Organizers’ Toolkit * Review our recently-updated Digital Library Federation Code of Conduct * Contact DLF leadership or all staff with questions and comments [The full text of this statement is available here: https://www.diglib.org/archives/13044/ and you can go directly to the DLF Organizers’ Toolkit at: https://wiki.diglib.org/.] Bethany Nowviskie Director of the Digital Library Federation (DLF) at CLIR Research Associate Professor of Digital Humanities, UVa diglib.org | clir.org | ndsa.org | nowviskie.org | she/her/hers _______________________________________________ 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 C24E5835F; Fri, 25 Nov 2016 05:48:57 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B2762835A; Fri, 25 Nov 2016 05:48:55 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 04D398355; Fri, 25 Nov 2016 05:48:52 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161125044853.04D398355@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2016 05:48:52 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.521 events: authorship; the book; preservation; dance 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: <20161125044857.20919.5154@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 521.

Our focus this year is the generation, uses, and distribution of digital dance data. The event will explore critical questions stemming from the re-forming and re-contextualisation of dance through digitisation, examining the effects on the ontology, form, and potentials of dance (and data). We will consider dance digitisation as an emergent practice and ask what it may mean for future artistic and academic endeavours, for spectatorship, education, and disciplinary exchange. The event will include presentations from Maaike Bleeker and Scott deLahunta, and the UK launch of Bleeker's edited collection Transmission in Motion: The Technologizing of Dance, recently published by Routledge.

I'm a PhD student (Digital Classics, Institute of Classical Studies, London) investigating the role of Digital Humanities in Papyrology. I was wondering if, for Digital Humanities, there is a bibliographic tool comparable to the Checklist of Editions (http://papyri.info/docs/checklist), a list of standard abbreviations which papyrologists use to cite their sources in a consistent way. Thank you very much for your help.

Fuchs - Critical Theory of Communication Fuchs, Christian. 2016. Critical Theory of Communication: New Readings of Lukács, Adorno, Marcuse, Honneth and Habermas in the Age of the Internet. London: University of Westminster Press. ISBN 978-1-911534-04-4. Critical Digital and Social Media Studies Book Series, Volume 1. More information: Critical Theory of Communication: New Readings of Lukács, Ado… Watch the introductory talk from the book launch https://vimeo.com/187128375 This book contributes to the foundations of a critical theory of communication as shaped by the forces of digital capitalism. Christian Fuchs explores how the thought of some of the Frankfurt School’s key thinkers can be deployed for critically understanding media in the age of the Internet. Five essays that form the heart of this book review aspects of the works of Georg Lukács, Theodor W. Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Axel Honneth and Jürgen Habermas and apply them as elements of a critical theory of communication’s foundations. The approach taken starts from Georg Lukács' "Ontology of Social Being", draws on the work of the Frankfurt School thinkers, and sets them into dialogue with the Cultural Materialism of Raymond Williams. Critical Theory of Communication offers a vital set of new insights on how communication operates in the age of information, digital media and social media, arguing that we need to transcend the communication theory of Habermas by establishing a dialectical and cultural-materialist critical theory of communication. It is the first title in a major new book series ‘Critical Digital and Social Media Studies’ published by the University of Westminster Press. Table of Contents 1. Introduction: Critical Theory of Communication: New Readings of Lukács, Adorno, Marcuse, Honneth and Habermas in the Age of the Internet 2. Georg Lukács as a Communications Scholar: Cultural and Digital Labour in the Context of Lukács’ Ontology of Social Being 3. Theodor W. Adorno and the Critical Theory of Knowledge 4. Herbert Marcuse and Social Media 5. The Internet, Social Media and Axel Honneth’s Interpretation of Georg Lukács’ Theory of Reification and Alienation 6.

Martin Greenberger (MIT Press, 1962). Now that I have a copy of the book in my hands I can see why. It is a transcript of a meeting held at MIT on the occasion of its centenary and a gathering of luminaries, as you will see from the attached. The quotation on the cover of the book gives some idea of the intent if not the sentiment of all that was said: > Nothing amuses more harmlessly than computation, and nothing is > oftener applicable to real business or speculative inquiries. A thousand > stories which the ignorant tell, and believe, die away at once when the > computist takes them in his grip. > --Samuel Johnson Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1FCD28359; Wed, 30 Nov 2016 07:38:27 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ECCC08340; Wed, 30 Nov 2016 07:38:25 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D5DFB8334; Wed, 30 Nov 2016 07:38:23 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161130063823.D5DFB8334@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2016 07:38:23 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.527 long courses online (reminder) 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: <20161130063826.9149.33637@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 527.

The four-year project is a collaboration between King's College London, The Open University, The University of Westminster and Queen Mary, University of London, with more than twenty partners in education, cultural sectors, the charitable sector, and business. One of these posts is for the 'Digital Mediations' strand (led by Paul Spence), which looks at how technology interacts with language and culture in processes of world-making, and the effect of digital, mobile and networked technology in creating new forms of digitally-mediated transmission and translation. The strand aims to bring together Modern Languages and Digital Humanities researchers in examining what kinds of "translation" are enacted as information enters and leaves the digital sphere, and the extent to which data, as a complex cultural product in its own right, represents a meaningful record accessible to Modern Languages research and learning. The post holder will be expected to have skills and qualifications in the following areas, including but not limited to: working knowledge of modern languages, ideally Spanish and/or Portuguese; knowledge of lifecycle models and techniques for the management of digital material; knowledge of a range of computing technologies of relevance to Modern Languages; a broad understanding of information systems; software development skills; and experience of performing digital research. See application for full specification. This is a three year post at King's College London, to start in early 2017. See full information at: https://www.hirewire.co.uk/HE/1061247/MS_JobDetails.aspx?JobID=74130 For full information about all five posts: http://languageacts.org/jobs.html We are keen to receive applications from a broad range of disciplines, and so encourage those with a background in related areas of the Humanities or Social Sciences to apply. Similarly, although the initial focus of the project is Spanish and Portuguese language, we also encourage those with knowledge of other languages to apply. Deadline December 16th.

A century later, the slogan’s rich metaphor is made all the sharper with the new technologies’ emergence in literary studies. What role have machines taken up in text reading? What do they teach us about the mechanics of poetry? What mechanical and strategic devices are we developing, with what results? We are producing all sorts of computing and statistical apparatuses to describe and analyse metre, style and poeticity. We entrust them with part of our research to gain in speed and/or power, escape the physical boundaries of what our mind can embrace, rethink the usual questions and address new ones previously out of reach of traditional readings. Statistical analyses, digital corpuses, miscellaneous inventories shed light upon literature and provide our interpretations with the physical evidence they had to do without so far, but they in turn raise hermeneutic challenges. To apply mechanical processes to the reading of texts is to raise the question of poeticity. Is it to be found in the measurable sum of artfully assembled processes, or does it escape normalisation efforts? Reading machines, by allowing a distant vision, measure phenomena that a natural reading would not detect, thus questioning the role of such invisible features in readers’ perception. Jacobson’s poetic function has objective linguistic features at its centre, but shall its efficiency be reduced to that of a machine, with levers and pulleys we can take apart? Finally, the machine carries some notion of dehumanisation of the processes where it replaces us, and symmetrically, we readily adopt an anthropomorphic perception of it. Its use questions the usefulness and legitimacy of adopting “non-human” readings to access a fundamentally “human” material. Must the literary scholar, whose object is not a natural phenomenon, meet the burden of proof, or can one rely on intuitions? How shall mechanically enhanced “readings” and more traditional ones be linked together? We are keen to gather scholars wishing to show computing or statistical tools they develop to raise questions in poetics, metrics, and stylistics. Devices that did not yield the expected results, provided their shortcomings provide an interesting insight, are welcome too. Possible themes could include, but are not limited to: • metrical analysis; • stylometry; • poeticity and computer tools; • “distant reading” and literary reading; • computer-assisted interpretation; • visual representations of poetry; • History of reading machines and perspectives; • possibility of symbiosis between human reader and non-human apparatus. We welcome abstracts for papers about poetic texts, versified or not, or even texts outside the poetry genre provided that machines are being used to explore their poeticity. Papers of 25 minutes may bear on corpora from any time and in any language, but shall be delivered in English or French.

The study of social knowledge flows has advanced our understanding of these transit processes in critical and productive ways. While earlier ‘diffusionist’ models of knowledge production and distribution were predicated on the ascendancy of European thought and science, and the treatment of other cultures as no more than producers of data to be collected, theorised and understood, emerging models of social knowledge foreground how the very process of circulation produces new knowledge and recognise the contribution of all actors and locations traversed by such flows over time. This development is particularly welcome at a time when the media of knowledge production and circulation, successively moulded by the manuscript, print and electronic cultures, are being reconfigured in the digital culture of the 21st century. In this deterritorialised and decentralised arena of instantaneous knowledge production and circulation, “questions of trust, testimony, and communitarian objectivity are simultaneously questions of how knowledge travels, to whom it is available, and how agreement is achieved [or not]” between experts and ordinary people (Secord 2004: 660-661). Social movement and digital media scholars who advocate and practise alternative forms of political participation and collective forms of knowledge construction are therefore increasingly playing an important role in reconceptualising these trajectories of knowledge production and contestation. The contribution of translation to these processes across centuries and cultures has long been documented and studied. A significant body of research, often undertaken by scholars outside translation studies, has drawn on a range of case studies to show how concepts and values have been and continue to be renegotiated and transformed at specific historical junctures through processes of (re)translation, rewriting and other forms of mediation. But translation is becoming enmeshed in the study of knowledge production and circulation in new and exciting ways. New and powerful computerised tools promise to enable researchers to trace the genealogy and transformation of key concepts in the humanities and sciences across temporal and cultural spaces through translation. The explanatory power of translation as a key force driving the study of transformation and change, on the other hand, has led scholars in other areas of knowledge to use the concept ‘as a trope through which the local concerns of the appropriating discipline may be addressed’ (Baker and Saldanha 2011: xxi). Hosted by the research team leading the AHRC-funded Genealogies of Knowledge project at the University of Manchester, this conference will provide a forum for engaging with questions of current import in relation to the role of translation in the production and circulation of political, scientific and other key concepts in social life across time and space. Topics of interest include but are not restricted to the following: · The evolution through translation of key cultural concepts pertaining to the body politic in ancient and modern times · The evolution and transformation of the epistemological foundations of traditional scientific discourse (causation, evidence-based knowledge) across time and space. · The role of translators, interpreters and other gate-keepers in shaping the intellectual history of different periods and cultures · Processes of mediation impacting the construction, expansion and transformation of sacred texts and the concept of the sacred across time and space · Translation at the interface between positivist and constructivist scientific traditions · The role of historical and modern lingua francas in the production, transformation and circulation of concepts and values · The impact of translations from lingua francas into vernacular languages and across vernaculars from antiquity until the modern period · The role of both far-right populist groups and radical democratic movements in contesting the meaning of key cultural and political concepts (e.g. Brexit-Trumpism vs neoliberalism; state-centred vs non-state models of democracy; #Blacklivesmatter; #Vivapalestina) · The contestation of traditional scientific discourse based on notions of expertise and rationality by networked communities and independent media (post-truth era, citizen science, increased challenge to expert knowledge and ethos) · Corpus-based insights into the production and circulation of values and concepts in past and present times: epistemological and methodological issues · Developing corpus software for mapping and visualising the historical evolution of concepts The language of the conference is English. Venue The conference will take place at the Manchester Conference Centre, located on Sackville Street within easy distance from train stations and Manchester International Airport.

In the introduction, Ockendon writes: Though we can, of course, take pleasure in the work of craftsmen whose methods are unknown to us, yet it is only after we have begun to manipulate their tools and wrestle with their problems that we come to realise in full the measure of their achievement, and our appreciation of their worth increases with our skill. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 2BC5F81D7; Fri, 2 Dec 2016 06:33:05 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E8FB281C2; Fri, 2 Dec 2016 06:33:03 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 37F6281BF; Fri, 2 Dec 2016 06:32:59 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161202053300.37F6281BF@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 06:32:59 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.534 training in reflectance transformation imaging 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: <20161202053304.16611.56787@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 534.

Indeed, within our teaching spaces many of us devote much time to finding ways to redirect our students’ attention away from the distractions of their multiple electronic gadgets. But what if we consider how their distributed focus might enable new acts of attention and new ways of reading? How might we rethink pedagogy and our own research methods in an era of hyper-connectivity? There is nothing new about distraction, but such questions have a particular relevance in light of recent models, such as those of the distributed cognition theorists, that describe our electronic devices as potential cognitive extensions of ourselves: what we think of as mind can be dispersed across objects external to our bodies. If this is the case, how might we think about the new potential these devices offer and the new methods they enable within humanities’ disciplines? We invite submissions for a special issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ) on this topic. ‘Reading’ should be taken to represent any act of critical engagement with works in any medium (text, visual art, film, or music, for example). Of particular interest are papers that connect research and pedagogy. Topics are certainly not limited to the following, but might include: -- the use of different digital tools simultaneously within a group of students or scholars to draw out and represent different aspects of one work (whether, for example, a painting, film, text or a piece of music) for analytic purposes -- the use of social networking tools to shape new acts of attention to our objects of study; -- the use of annotation software with groups of students, and the new research methods this might inspire (or vice versa) -- the use of spatial and distributed modalities to better comprehend or represent what are usually thought of as linear modes of reasoning (critical, philosophical, historical, or others); for example, the possibilities packages such as prezi offer for representing spatial relationships between concepts or ideas. Deadline for abstracts: January 31st 2017 400 words; submitted as a Word doc. attachment. Send to marion.thain@nyu.edu. Deadline for full papers: July 31st 2017 Word limit: 7,000 words Style: inline author-date references, with a full list of works cited at the end (footnotes used only for digressions and explanations) Send to marion.thain@nyu.edu.

Eugene Ferguson, in "The Mind's Eye: Nonverbal Thought in Technology", Science NS 197.4306 (1977), set engineering in the historical context of the arts, going back to the European Renaissance. Since then there's been a great deal of work done on embedded intelligence in crafted things, such as scientific instruments and other tools, and of course on material culture. Thinking with things has been taken up and deepened in a major way by the anthropologists, for which see Henare, Holbraad and Wastel, eds., Thinking through things: Theorising artefacts ethnographically (Routledge 2007). So there is much in what Francois has suggested -- in mindfulness, as the Buddhists say. Care in the minute particulars, all the way down. And this includes programming, as many here will know from experience. Once again, a subject for us to teach. Two days ago I sat in on a programming class (with the language R), populated almost entirely by young women, who were working with a large database of facts about multidimensional objects and pulling surprises out of mundane data. To my mind this is where it begins, or at least one such place. What could be more *of* the humanities? *www+ Comments?

The workshop will take place on Tuesday, January 24, 2016, in conjunction with the AIUCD 2017 Conference and the 3rd EADH Day (aiucd2017.aiucd.it http://aiucd2017.aiucd.it/ ) at the Sapienza University of Roma. Keynote speech by Agiatis Benardou, Senior Researcher at the Digital Curation Unit, ATHENA R.C. and manager of Europeana Research: "'Signatures of all things I am here to read': Digital Research as Practice, Digital Networks as Public Engagement". Invited talk by Silvia Orlandi, Associate Professor of Latin Epigraphy at Sapienza University: "EAGLE dedicated services and their educational potential". The goal of the workshop is to share experiences and foster theoretical reflections about the impact of digital scholarly editing products and methods, primarily in the educational context, but also in the more general social context. The use of digital technologies in teaching prompts a reflection on the added value of using these technologies and raises some controversial questions. At the same time, digital research outcomes and methods should not be considered as separate from the more general cultural and social context. In this sense, digital scholarly editions can play a relevant role in the public engagement of humanities scholarship. These topics can be articulated in the following issues: * the digital editions in teaching philology and textual criticism * digital editions in disciplinary context * digital editions and their social impact * digital editions and academic publishing * digital editions and public humanities The organizers solicit proposals for interventions in form of papers, small tutorials session, round table and lightening talks. Abstracts of max 500 words can be submitted via the AIUCD 2017 ConfTool, available at http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2017/. The official language of the Workshop is English. ?Dixit Workshop Cfp extended to December 15 Submitters must create an account on the system and then use the specific type of submission "DIXIT Workshop".

Please, feel free to spread the call. Kind regards, Helena link to the announcement: http://hapoc.org/node/199 -------------------------------- The DHST/DLMPS commission for the History and Philosophy of Computing www.hapoc.org invites all interested researchers to the 4th International Conference on History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC) Brno, 4-7 October 2017 In their societal impact, computers have grown way beyond their roots in mathematics and logic. Their ubiquity since the late 20th century has increased the number and impact of several of the original questions raised by early computer scientists and practitioners: questions about their expected and intended behaviour, as Alan Turing did when asking whether machines can think; questions about their ontology, as John von Neumann did when asking what the computer and the human brain have in common; questions about their role in performing human tasks, as Norbert Wiener did when asking whether automatic translation is possible. With new technologies, the need for rethinking formal and technological issues is crucial. The computerisation of our lives can hardly leave anyone without opinion. HaPoC’s appeal to historical and philosophical reflection is an invitation to all: designers and manufacturers, computer practitioners, users and artists, logicians and mathematicians, and with the increasing ubiquity of the machine every citizen, with her own experience of the computer. HaPoC conferences aim to bring together researchers exploring the various aspects of the computer from historical or philosophical standpoint. With Nathan Ensmenger we may say that facts do not change, but our understanding of them does. The series aims at an interdisciplinary focus on computing, rooted in historical and philosophical viewpoints. The conference brings together researchers interested in the historical developments of computing, as well as those reflecting on the sociological and philosophical issues springing from the rise and ubiquity of computing machines in the contemporary landscape. Past editions of the conference have successfully presented a variety of voices, resulting in fruitful dialogue between researchers of different backgrounds and characteristics. Celebrating the revolutionary exhibition Computer Graphic held in Brno in the spring of 1968, HaPoC emphatically extends the invitation to its fourth international conference to reflections on computers and art. For HaPoC 2017 we welcome contributions from logicians, philosophers and historians of computing as well as from philosophically aware computer scientists and mathematicians. We also invite contributions on the use of computers in art. As HaPoC conferences aim to provide a platform for interdisciplinary discussions among researchers, contributions stimulating such discussions are preferable. Topics include but are not limited to: - History of computation (computational systems, machines, mechanized reasoning, algorithms and programs, communities of computing and their paradigms,...) - Foundational issues in computer science and computability (models of computability, Church-Turing thesis, formal systems for distributed, cloud and secure computing, semantic theories of programming languages, ...) - Philosophy of computing (computer as brain / mind, epistemological issues, ...) - Computation in the sciences (computer experiments and simulations, computer-aided systems for teaching and research, ...) - Computer and the arts (temporality in digital art; narration in interactive art work, speculative software, programming as a deferred action, computing and affect, performativity of code, eristic of HCI, ...) We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the main topics of the conference to submit a short abstract of approximately 200 words and an extended abstract of at most a 1000 words (references included) through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapoc2017 Accepted papers will be presented in 30 minute slots including discussion. Abstracts must be written in English. Please note that the format of uploaded files must be in .pdf. Submissions without extended abstract will not be considered. Deadline for paper submission: 15 May 2017 Notification of acceptance: 15 July 2017 Conference fee: EUR 150 A limited number of grants will be available. The conference will be preceded by a special workshop on the reception of Hilbert's axiomatic method in Eastern Europe on 3 October (Tuesday) – organized by Mate Szabó Accompanying cultural programme will include the remake of the 1968 Brno exhibition Computer Graphic (featuring Frieder Nake and others), the first computer art exhibition in Eastern Europe, preceding Cybernetic Serendipity by several months, Live coding performance (inspired by the Exhibition Computer Graphic), the concert Exposition of New Music (contemporary music), and field recordings of Brno (student project). --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2016 15:57:09 -0500 From: Kristen Mapes Subject: Global Digital Humanities Symposium (3/16-17), Call for Proposals (Deadline 12/9) + Travel funds In-Reply-To: Global Digital Humanities Symposium at Michigan State University March 16-17, 2017 CFP Reminder + Travel Funds available for presenters We are committed to bringing a wide-ranging and diverse group of participants and presenters for our conference.

Call for Proposals Deadline to submit a proposal: Friday, December 9, 11:59pm EST msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to continue its symposium series on Global DH into its second year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/ , values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form expresses a critique of the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Michigan State University has been intentionally global http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/ for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/ , a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/ that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships, and capacity building. WIDE http://wide.msu.edu/ has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/ . Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by Friday, December 9, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics- Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations - Indigeneity - anywhere in the world - and the digital - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism - Global digital pedagogies - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context Presentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposals Proposal form: http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes@msu.edu _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 455148216; Sun, 4 Dec 2016 07:15:19 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 675B381FE; Sun, 4 Dec 2016 07:15:18 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7E4C281FE; Sun, 4 Dec 2016 07:15:15 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20161204061515.7E4C281FE@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 4 Dec 2016 07:15:15 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.539 events: EADH Day 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: <20161204061518.8055.17581@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 539.

It's emphasis on documentation and discussion strikes a cord in regards to interdisciplinary collaboration. Beyond working in small groups, a key feature of Reggio schools - and prime example of Multiple Intelligences (Gardner, 1983) - is the emphasis on using high quality clay, paints, wire, fiber, pens, and hundreds more "materials" including music, dance, and conversation as stimuli for children to learn to express themselves skillfully. Reggio educators say children learn "100 languages." [...…] Another pivotal Reggio innovation is documentation through which teachers encourage children to listen to themselves as a way to pursue a project thoughtfully. Teachers carefully listen to children, record what they hear, and select children's words, photos of them working, or their work product to display on a large panel. The purpose is to provide a way for children to reflect on what they have done by analyzing and interpreting what they see on the panel. Exchanges among children and with their teacher are lively! Documentation enables children to find meaning to their work and is a way to assess children's capacity at a particular time. Moreover, it gives visitors a window into the school and is a powerful draw for parents, an impetus for the deep ties that develop between families and school.

He wants to work with analog/print text sources that are in table format (ex. historical population tables not published by the census bureau). His goal is to be able to take scanned images of the pages with tables of data on them and have the tables' contents accessible in row/column formats. He has seen some commercial products that can do this (Abbey FineReader -> Excel), but wonders if there are open source or DH-friendly projects. He hopes to do this on a massive scale (1000s of pages) and then text-mine the output into his database. _______________________________________________ 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 611C38333; Tue, 6 Dec 2016 07:54:35 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 175208325; Tue, 6 Dec 2016 07:54:34 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 50B8C8262; Tue, 6 Dec 2016 07:54:32 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161206065432.50B8C8262@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 07:54:32 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.542 Director, Center for Digital Scholarship (Brown) 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: <20161206065434.8668.53599@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 542.

This outcome of a research project in digital humanities entailed collaboration among scholars and professionals at the University of Bologna. http://data.fondazionezeri.unibo.it/ ---------------------------------------------- The Zeri Photo Archive is one of the first of its kind to have launched a project to convert its own IT resources (some 150,000 images and fact-sheets comprising one of the outstanding online repertories of Italian art) into Linked Open Data. The Foundation’s scheme makes descriptive data available on artworks and photographs, rendering them accessible, retrievable and re-usable by site users and other applications, in line with the new semantic web requirements. Publishing the Zeri catalogue data as Linked Open Data is the primary purpose of ZERI&LODE, a research project stemming from collaboration between the Federico Zeri Foundation and a team of Bologna University digital humanities experts who started up in 2014 and have appeared at international venues several times. The project forms part of the PHAROS Consortium (The International Consortium of Photo Archives), which includes 14 world-class art history photo archives in Europe and the United States – an overall total of 32 million images. PHAROS promotes active cooperation among partner institutes with a view to creating a common platform for research into images and metadata relating to artworks. The RDF DATASET online as of today includes the subset of data concerning Italian Painting in the 16th century, which is already available on the Zeri Foundation website. About 19,000 works of art and 31,000 photographs, complete with information on artists and photographers, plus relative bibliography and documentation, are conveyed by over 11 million triple RDFs. LOD means that the Zeri Photo Archive online catalogue has been enriched with links to authorities and datasets. Data apart, ZERI&LODE offers the scientific community the ontological models devised to represent complex objects like photographs and artworks. The aim is to enhance and refine the models, extending their coverage to new parts of the Zeri Photo Archive and other documentary collections.

We at the HTRC are keen to see the data explored and investigated in new and interesting ways. Cheers and thanks, Stephen Questions or inquiries can be directed to HTRC Project Coordinator Ryan Dubnicek (rdubnic2@illinois.edu). December 5, 2016 HathiTrust today announces the release of a significantly expanded open dataset, the HathiTrust Research Center (HTRC) Extracted Features (EF) Dataset , Version 1.0. This dataset provides researchers with open access to data extracted from the full text of the HathiTrust Digital Library (HTDL) at an unprecedented scale. The Extracted Features Dataset opens the complete HathiTrust collection for investigations into historical and cultural trends, the rise and fall of topics within the corpus, and the evolution of words and writing structures in publications dating from the 16th to the late 20th century. It provides quantitative information about word and line counts, parts of speech, and other details within each page of every volume in the HTDL. In addition to these larger-scale investigations, the EF Dataset also allows researchers to closely analyze the contents of a given volume or subset of volumes. The data is extracted from 13.7 million volumes found in the HTDL, representing over 5 billion pages consisting of over 2 trillion tokens (words). A preliminary release of the EF Dataset, drawn from a much smaller subset comprising only HathiTrust's public domain collection, has already enabled novel research from scholars in economics, history, linguistics, literary studies and sociology, among other fields. "The Extracted Features Dataset creates opportunities for scholarship and teaching that were previously impossible," said J. Stephen Downie, co-director of HathiTrust Research Center and Associate Dean for Research and Professor at the School of Information Sciences, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "We look forward to seeing how the scholarly community takes advantage of the EF dataset in their research, labs, and classrooms." "We launched the HathiTrust Research Center to help researchers fully mine the entire collection of texts found in HathiTrust," said Michael Furlough, HathiTrust's executive director. "This release provides a novel and effective way to do so by generating relevant data from the entire corpus." Founded in 2008 and hosted at the University of Michigan, HathiTrust preserves and provides access to millions of digitized books and journals from the collections of more than 120 institutional academic and research partners via its certified trusted digital repository This searchable archive of published literature from around the world includes both in-copyright and public domain materials from mass digitization programs and partners' local digitization initiatives. The HathiTrust Research Center is an advanced research service of HathiTrust and a collaborative research center launched jointly by Indiana University and the University of Illinois. The Research Center team strives to meet the technical challenges that researchers face when dealing with massive amounts of digital text, by developing cutting-edge software tools and cyberinfrastructure to enable advanced computational access to the growing digital record of human knowledge.

As such, research in model theory overlaps many areas in philosophy, linguistics, and mathematics. The introduction of model theory in the beginning of the previous century was intertwined with the development of set-theoretic foundations for mathematics; the implications and applications for philosophy and linguistics soon followed. The aim of this conference is to bring together philosophers, linguists and mathematicians for whom model theory is a basic tool-kit. We wish to facilitate knowledge transfer between these disciplines and create a fruitful discussion on the applicability and the foundational role of model theory. To do this, the conference will explore the following research questions: Are model-theoretic tools sufficient for an adequate demarcation of logical from non-logical constants? How does the model-theoretic definition of truth advance our understanding of the semantic paradoxes? How is meaning in natural language represented in models? How can models account for specific linguistic phenomena (e.g., natural language quantifiers)? What are the philosophical and linguistic consequences of a theory's complexity as measured by model-theoretic classification theory?

There are, I'd guess, two basic problems here. The technical problem may be solvable by interposing software, which would require funding Humanist does not have. The second goes back to the old enthusiasm for hypertext. Bibliographic referencing has in the past, in the various ways it has been done, led some writers in genres intended primarily for reading to attempt ways of making it less intrusive, less exhibitionist ("Look at how learned I am!" etc.). It seems the problem is still with us: how to be genuinely helpful and informative without rendering the text unreadable. Up to now I have simply corrected the problem by removing unnecessary s and the like or by finding reader-friendly links and substituting them for the reader-hostile ones. But sometimes the task is simply too great. Like everyone else I have other things I'd rather be doing. Hence my plea, likely bootless in the long run: please run your messages through a plain-text filter and use short links. More mindful communication, perhaps? Many thanks.

"Coordinates: Digital Mapping and 18th C Visual, Material, and Built Cultures" will feature projects and essays that examine the potential of digital tools for visualizing spatial data in the long eighteenth century. For more information, go to http://www.journal18.org/future-issues/. Please circulate this announcement widely. We invite all expressions of interest. With best wishes, Carrie and Nancy Coordinates: Digital Mapping and 18th C Visual, Material, and Built Cultures Art history’s digital turn has been stimulated by the possibilities of spatial research. Spurred by the collection, preservation, and distribution of art historical data in digital space—practices that have both collapsed and expanded our own discursive geographies—scholars have exploited the potential of geospatial analysis for art historical study. These new methods are particularly promising for the study of the early modern world, which has been fruitfully understood through the prisms of connections and exchanges that crossed world regions and defied the boundaries drawn on static maps. Digital mapping platforms and applications like CartoDB, Neatline, ArcGIS, Leaflet, and MapBox have made it possible, for example, to visualize the movement of people, such as artists, through temporal and geographic space, thus allowing us to reimagine personal and material contacts in tangible ways. Moreover, the dynamic lives of mobile and fungible objects can be displayed in extended and often circuitous trajectories, thus encouraging the kind of nonlinear visual analysis that is foundational to the practice of art history. Georectification tools have further facilitated the reconciliation of historical figurations of space with contemporary visualizations, which allows competing spatial narratives to coexist productively in a digital realm, while also challenging the magisterial view offered by modern cartography. In this issue of Journal18, we seek to feature current scholarship that relies on the analytical power provided by digital mapping interfaces for the study of visual, material, and built cultures during the long eighteenth century. How do digital humanities methods and tools shape our understanding of space and place in the early modern period? What impact might digital mapping have on our historical investigations of people, objects, and their environments? Submissions may take the form of an article (up to 6000 words) or a project presented through a digital platform that takes full advantage of Journal18’s online format. We also welcome proposals for shorter vignettes (around 2,500 words) that reflect on projects in progress or consider the potential for particular mapping methodologies for eighteenth-century art history. Issue Editors Carrie Anderson, Middlebury College Nancy Um, Binghamton University Proposals for issue #5 Coordinates are now being accepted. Deadline for proposals: April 1, 2017. To submit a proposal, send an abstract (200 words) and a brief CV to editor@journal18.org and carriea@middlebury.edu. Articles should not exceed 6000 words (including footnotes) and will be due on November 1, 2017. For further details on the submission process see http://www.journal18.org/info/. _______________________________________________ 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 A8DBD8375; Wed, 7 Dec 2016 11:50:11 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B9AD68373; Wed, 7 Dec 2016 11:50:10 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E19F7836E; Wed, 7 Dec 2016 11:50:08 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161207105008.E19F7836E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2016 11:50:08 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.547 open source for scanning to row/column 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: <20161207105011.4660.85027@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 547.

He wants to work with analog/print text sources that are in table format (ex. historical population tables not published by the census bureau). His goal is to be able to take scanned images of the pages with tables of data on them and have the tables' contents accessible in row/column formats. He has seen some commercial products that can do this (Abbey FineReader -> Excel), but wonders if there are open source or DH-friendly projects. He hopes to do this on a massive scale (1000s of pages) and then text-mine the output into his database. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 21:36:37 +1000 From: Desmond Schmidt Subject: Re: 30.541 open-source for scanning to row/column format? In-Reply-To: <20161206065338.3CA7F764@digitalhumanities.org> The only open source OCR packages I know are Tesseract and Ocropus. But Tesseract at least doesn't do columns. What you might try is slicing the image of the page into strips using imagemagick, then running the strips through Tesseract. Then you could reassemble them page by page using a script. Imagemagick is a commandline tool. I've used it to slice images into halves, but if your columns are regular enough I don't see why you can't use it to help recognise spreadsheet data: #!/bin/bash for f in *.jpg do convert -crop 50%x100% $f +repage $f done This splits all .jpg files into two.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2016 09:19:00 -0500 From: Nicky Agate Subject: Humanities Commons announcement Humanities Commons https://news.hcommons.org Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to invite you to try out Humanities Commons, which launched in open beta last week. Humanities Commons is a nonprofit network where humanities scholars can create a professional profile, discuss common interests, develop new publications, and share their work in a social, open-access repository. The Humanities Commons network is open to anyone. Humanities Commons is a project of the office of scholarly communication at the Modern Language Association. Its development was generously funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Humanities Commons is based on the open-source Commons-in-a-Box project of the City University of New York and the CUNY Graduate Center and is an expansion of the MLA's MLA Commons, which launched in January 2013. The founding partner societies of Humanities Commons are the Association for Jewish Studies; the Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies; and the College Art Association. Each society has its own Commons hub. Humanities Commons was designed by scholarly societies in the humanities to serve the needs of humanists as they engage in teaching and research that benefit the larger community. Unlike other social and academic communities, Humanities Commons is open-access, open-source, and nonprofit. It is focused on providing a space to discuss, share, and store cutting-edge research and innovative pedagogy—not on generating profits from users' intellectual and personal data. The network also features an open-access repository, the Commons Open Repository Exchange. CORE allows users to preserve their research and increase its reach by sharing it across disciplinary, institutional, and geographic boundaries. Humanities Commons members can deposit all kinds of scholarly materials in CORE: peer-reviewed journal articles, dissertations and theses; works in progress; conference papers; syllabi; abstracts; data sets; presentations; translations; book reviews; maps; charts; and more. Developed in partnership with Columbia University's Center for Digital Research and Scholarship, CORE provides robust preservation services and is underwritten by an implementation grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities' Office of Digital Humanities.

The progressing digitalisation will have disruptive impacts on both the economy and society - speed and complexity of technological change will increase dramatically. These developments will challenge existing institutional frameworks including regulations and standardisation, which will have to be continuously adapted. Moreover, digitalisation drives the convergence of different technologies and even sectors and thus increases the need for new interfaces at various levels. As a result, more standards will be needed, especially at the international level. In addition, the increasing relevance of data protection and security will require an even better co-ordination between standardisation and regulation, which also faces problems of transnational harmonisation. In summary, these challenges driven by digitalisation require comprehensive analyses to adequately inform stakeholders active in standardisation, including standards setting organisations. EURAS 2017 solicits papers on the above theme. However, papers on other standardisation topics will also be considered. Sample topics include: * Standard Reference Architectures * Standards for Systems Engineering * Standards for Converging Technologies * Standardisation Roadmaps * Standardisation and Open Source * Standardisation as a policy tool * Standards as barriers to trade?! * National or international policy and standardisation * Standardisation and Europe's research and innovation agenda * Relation between standardisation and legislation * Standards as a driver for innovation * Standardisation and quality infrastructure * Standardisation and IPR * Standards and knowledge transfer * The impacts of standards and standardisation * Quality of standards * Role of industry and their associations in standardisation * Standardisation via industry consortia * History of standardisation * Standardisation processes Full papers (up to 30 double spaced pages; rtf. .doc or .docx format) should be submitted to Kai Jakobs at Kai.Jakobs@cs.rwth-aachen.de. All papers will be double blind reviewed by members of the Programme Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as part of the 'EURAS Contributions to Standardisation Research' book series. Particularly good papers will be fast-tracked to the Int. Journal of Standardization Research.

Link shorteners aren't ideal from a preservation standpoint, as they tend not to be archived - for instance, if you were to go to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine and enter a tinyurl link, it's not likely you'll get a result. Of course, the same is true with these proxied URLs, whether the proxy is present for security filtering or advertising tracking. Either way, this sort of link proxying may end up contributing to the problem of citation rot. 2. Automating the process of tinyurl encoding all links would require that someone write a software module to handle that, and I think WM is telling us that there aren't any resources to modify the Humanist software at this time. Hand processing the links would also consume resources, in the form of an opportunity cost. It might not be that hard to write a module to automatically encode all URLs, but then you'd still lose the readability inherent in more traditional URLs. 3. I suspect that the best approach would be to ask if it's possible to move Humanist to a different Mail Delivery Agent which does not incorporate the security service that's proxying the links, and requesting an exclusion to the security policy that mandates it. One possible argument for such an exclusion might look like this: a.) only Humanist subscribers can post to the list, so the threat profile is far more limited than with other mail domains, b.) (if the Humanist software functions more like listserv or majordimo, it is likely that) Humanist does not communicate directly with MUAs (mail user agents like Outlook), so any emails from Humanist to an end user at the hosting university will be processed again before reaching the end user), and c.) the links complicate the digital preservation of what is after all a long-term scholarly resource. But there may be security policies or resource restrictions on your end that would make it impractical to do this. Your mileage may vary, and I may be misunderstanding things entirely. Sorry if this isn't very readable, it's earlyish here.

What if the link shortening service you are using goes out of business? All of those shortened links would then be worthless. There is "bit rot" of normal URLs due to reorganization of web sites, ..., but even there information is preserved, such as the actual name of the web site. Perhaps people who insert long URLs (e.g. more than 2-3 lines) could simply put them in footnotes and so not make the post hard to read? --henry schaffer _______________________________________________ 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 4A74A8370; Thu, 8 Dec 2016 09:59:20 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7F0D18349; Thu, 8 Dec 2016 09:59:19 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 26F148262; Thu, 8 Dec 2016 09:59:16 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161208085916.26F148262@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 8 Dec 2016 09:59:16 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.552 reading with AI 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: <20161208085920.18220.47603@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 552.

Dear Willard, I came across this on the Aeon webpage. When robots read books Artificial intelligence sheds new light on classic texts. Literary theorists who don’t embrace it face obsolescence 3,200 words Inderjeet Mani is a computational linguist based in Thailand. He is a retired former associate professor of linguistics at Georgetown University, and also formerly a principal scientist at Yahoo Labs. His books include The Imagined Moment (2010) and Computational Modeling of Narrative (2012), and he has also published numerous papers and short stories. Perhaps it's of interest to Humanist list members, although I imagine many will already know of it. One thing that I think deserves some comment is what is the scholarly contribution here? Mani, like many computationally enthusiastic people, seems to think that just because this kind of study and investigation can be done, albeit with sufficient data and computation, it therefore makes a worthwhile contribution to the knowledge and understanding of the field. It does, I suppose, add knowledge--we know things we didn't before--but how does it advance our understanding in some useful and meaningful way? I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm not qualified to judge this. But I would be interested in what people say, who are qualified. What I am qualified to say is that the title displays a poor use of the term robot, but not an uncommon poor use. What would be wrong with "When machines read books"? Or would the answer be, "robots" sounds more scary? I wonder what literary theorists and other Humanists have to say about this use of language in supposedly serious scholarship. I wonder if there is a pattern here?

I think this is by far the most robust solution, and not just for long URLs. Plain text is a wonderful thing[1], and fixing this current 'long links' problem may require nothing more than recovering the habit of manually managing a few citations rather than letting a bibliography manager do it. Of course, this turns into the practical problem of how Humanist might oblige its readers/writers to do things this way, but I suspect consistent example might work. I'll note in passing that 'long links' can generally be shortened significantly, since they're quite often 'long' because they include superfluous information (which is often contextual information for the web server itself). A URL like http://foo.org/bar?xxx can _probably_ be shortened by clipping off everything after the question mark, to give http://foo.org/bar This 'delete the ?' heuristic doesn't work every time, but it does work often enough that it's worth trying before pasting a long URL into an email. For example, a recent edition of Humanist referred to [2]. If you put that into a browser, and delete the '?nav=tocList', you get a slightly different page, but one which is functionally equivalent. Best wishes, Norman [1] http://wcm1.web.rice.edu/plain-text-citations.html (I include this as an example of an inline citation, though its contents are somewhat tangential to the main point) [2] http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/yisr20/41/2-3?nav=tocList (no, this isn't a notably 'long' URL) -- Norman Gray : https://nxg.me.uk SUPA School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, UK _______________________________________________ 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 B76058389; Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:15:37 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id ED8E98382; Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:15:36 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7E8978381; Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:15:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161209071534.7E8978381@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:15:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.560 excessively long links &c 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: <20161209071537.5027.57543@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 560.

The example of rewriting that has had the most discussion was: which apparently started out as: https://mellon.org/grants/grants-database/grants/modern-language-association-of-america/21500710/ As to the suggestion that it is proofpoint (https://www.proofpoint.com/ us/products/email-protection), I just had a discussion with one of their support people who told me that their product/service does rewrite URLs, but ' If it was a link that we rewrote, you'd see the word "proofpoint" in the link.' This makes it seem as if it is a similar product/service. The word "outlook" might point at Microsoft's Outlook mail service. I haven't looked into this to see if Outlook has this "feature". So it appears that this is happening in the email systems of the people who sent the email with rewritten links. Rewriting would include the adding of the additional information such as "https://emea01.safelinks. protection.outlook.com" and possibly the coding of the usual URL characters into Web Character Codes (e.g changing "/" into %2F and ":" into %3A). Willard - are you just seeing these rewritten URLs in some email? If so, perhaps those senders could contact their own campus/organization IT folks to see what's happening? Or it could be that your campus is doing this but just to some links? --henry schaffer P.S. I've not included the relevant previous email because they have been in several different threads and it's difficult to copy just relevant sections. _______________________________________________ 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 8D5F8838E; Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:18:12 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1402D8381; Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:18:11 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A136B8386; Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:18:07 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161209071807.A136B8386@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 08:18:07 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.561 Programming 4 Humanists X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20161209071811.6335.966@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 561.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 9 Dec 2016 18:57:45 +0000 From: Mia R Subject: ACH Statement in the Aftermath of the 2016 Election The results of the recent presidential election in the United States have been accompanied by a troubling increase in cases of hateful speech, harassment, and acts of violence against members of historically vulnerable communities. The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), a scholarly organization for digital humanists based in the United States, condemns in the strongest possible terms state and federal proposals that would exacerbate this trend by targeting ethnic and religious groups, people of color, LGBTQIA communities, and others in ways that are antithetical to the principles of diversity, inclusion, access, liberty, free expression, and equal rights. The implementation of inhumane and divisive conditions for immigration, such as border walls; the elimination of healthcare and civil protections for LGBTQIA, the poor, and other underrepresented groups; and the exercise of political persecution, hate speech and/or curtailments of freedom of the press and the academy all contravene these principles and are worryingly reminiscent of policies from past fascist regimes. ACH opposes the resurgence of oppressive practices, the potential rollback of civil liberties, and all acts of hate against U.S. citizens, immigrants, or citizens of other nations. ACH hereby advocates for a peaceful, caring, and non-violent resistance to discrimination and injustice and pledges to: support our academic colleagues who may be at risk; reaffirm the recognition that intellectual, cultural, institutional, and other forms of diversity make a vital contribution to scholarship, practice, and our daily lives; commit our work towards a humanistic understanding of the impact technology is having in shaping and spreading fascist values, and support the creation of alternative and resistant infrastructures and platforms to promote communities of humanities scholars that are based on mutual respect for diversity and civil rights; advocate for the importance of academic freedom and the creation and preservation of archives against cuts to funding, access, classification, and erasure; and promote social change and contribute to a more socially and publicly engaged academia by dedicating awards funding to work in digital humanities that explicitly addresses current socio-political issues. To accomplish this, we welcome ideas and points of action, especially as they may facilitate initiatives to protect our constituents against discrimination in all its forms, whether racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, misogyny, or ableism. To our members in a position to do so, we further ask you to join in this effort and to help us reach out and support ACH colleagues. Finally, we encourage ACH members to contact any member of the Executive Council to ask for assistance as we move forward. Posted on behalf of the Executive Council of the ACH.

To celebrate this milestone we propose to cover key topics at the heart of this interdisciplinary work: language, cognition, and computation. In addition, the symposium welcomes papers that explore these concepts alongside broader issues in society. Efforts in cognitive computing to find a way for machines to learn, think, and behave autonomously have produced exciting developments, but few successes. To explore why, this symposium encourages papers that explore concepts like action, identity, autonomy, intelligence, and normativity. We invite papers that engage with, and seek to bring together, a number of scholarly fields including philosophy, computing, AI, psychology, social theory, and linguistics. TOPICS OF INTEREST: · Language, cognition, computation · Philosophy and AI in society / culture · Cognition and socio-technical systems · Autonomy and autonomous learning · Cognition and intelligence · Action, identity, normativity SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION DETAILS: Full papers are required, but extended abstracts are also welcome in the first instance with a view to completing a full paper at the next stage. Posters, demonstrations, creative works, or proposals for panels are also welcome. Submitted papers are limited to a maximum of eight pages, following the convention template. There is a minimum of 2 pages for extended abstracts. Each paper will receive at least two reviews. Accepted papers will be published in the general proceedings of the AISB Convention, with the proviso that at least ONE author attends the symposium in order to present the paper and participate in general symposium activities. Papers are sought on topics related to the symposium content, although other submissions pertinent to the convention may also be considered. Submissions by full paper or extended abstract, will be via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aisb17cp Text editor templates can be found on the convention site. IMPORTANT DATES: i. Extended abstract submission deadline: 12 December 2016 ii. Full paper submission deadline: 16 January 2017 iii. Notification of acceptance/rejection decisions: 15 February 2017 iv.

Call for Proposals *Deadline (EXTENDED) to submit a proposal: Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST* msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to continue its symposium series on Global DH into its second year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/ , values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form expresses a critique of the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Michigan State University has been intentionally global http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/ for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/ , a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/ that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships, and capacity building. WIDE http://wide.msu.edu/ has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/ . Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations - Indigeneity - anywhere in the world - and the digital - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism - Global digital pedagogies - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context Presentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposals Proposal form: http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes@msu.edu --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 08:53:24 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents The 46th Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents 18-22 June 2017 The Association for Documentary Editing documentaryediting.org The Association for Documentary Editing (ADE) welcomes applications for the 46th Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents, to be held 18 – 22 June 2017 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Buffalo, New York. The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents is an annual five-day workshop for individuals new to the field of historical documentary editing. With the needs of the participants as a guide, experienced documentary editors provide instruction in the principles and practices of documentary editing and insight into the realities of work on a documentary edition. Documentary editing is the craft of preparing historical writings for publication in print or online. The goal is to produce an authoritative edition of the material, with an accurate transcription of the original manuscript and an editorial framework that facilitates understanding of the text and context. Participants in the Editing Institute might be joining the staff of an existing documentary editing project or launching their own. Since its inception in 1972, the Editing Institute has trained more than 500 individuals. These include not only full-time documentary editors but also college and university faculty and graduate students, archivists and librarians, government historians, public historians, and independent scholars. The 46th Editing Institute will take place in conjunction with the 2017 ADE Annual Meeting, which will be held immediately following the Editing Institute, 22–24 June, also at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Buffalo. The Editing Institute charges no tuition, and travel stipends will be provided to eligible participants living outside the Buffalo area. Admission, however, is competitive. The deadline for applications is 1 February 2017. For an application or more information, please e-mail Beth Luey, Chair, IEHD Admissions Committee, at < beth.luey@gmail.com> or Jennifer Stertzer, President of the ADE, at . The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents is administered by the Association for Documentary Editing under a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), an affiliate of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id B0E898399; Sat, 10 Dec 2016 10:36:47 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 08C3D833C; Sat, 10 Dec 2016 10:36:47 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8AE08833C; Sat, 10 Dec 2016 10:36:44 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161210093644.8AE08833C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 10:36:44 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.564 excessively long links &c 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: <20161210093647.2357.3331@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 564.

I expect that other institutions face the same situation and would give the same response. See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt148491(v=exchg.150).aspx for more. To those who are by now weary of this discussion, which turns out to be a discussion of a problem we apparently cannot change, I'd say: it's yet another in a very long series of occasional exchanges on how better to communicate among us. Humanist began (in 1987) partly as a response to a Jumpin' Jack Flash approach to informing and pulling together a then scattered bunch of underdogs (and the overdogs who came along behind them): a dishing out of poorly formatted, often misspelled, sometimes rather undependable bulletins. Much has changed since then, but concern and effort are still required to produce postings that communicate as well by appearance as by what we breezily call 'content'. The message is not just the medium, not merely its 'content' but, insofar as possible, the mindfulness of its appearance.

I expect that other institutions face the same situation and would give the same response. See https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechnet.microsoft.com%2Fen-us%2Flibrary%2Fmt148491(v%3Dexchg.150).aspx&data=01%7C01%7Cjohn.bradley%40kcl.ac.uk%7Cc4202884f6be46bb843708d420e0171a%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&sdata=w6ZBLuawIkerNW0SBni214S89moM8CEx83IKuBJt%2BrA%3D&reserved=0 for more. To those who are by now weary of this discussion, which turns out to be a discussion of a problem we apparently cannot change, I'd say: it's yet another in a very long series of occasional exchanges on how better to communicate among us. Humanist began (in 1987) partly as a response to a Jumpin' Jack Flash approach to informing and pulling together a then scattered bunch of underdogs (and the overdogs who came along behind them): a dishing out of poorly formatted, often misspelled, sometimes rather undependable bulletins. Much has changed since then, but concern and effort are still required to produce postings that communicate as well by appearance as by what we breezily call 'content'. The message is not just the medium, not merely its 'content' but, insofar as possible, the mindfulness of its appearance.

I've noticed somewhat of a correlation between practitioners' affordances, what they can do in consequence and sometimes their reflections on the discipline in question. Of course there are many variables, including self-deception. But I have often looked from where I stand at what others in other disciplines can do on the basis of mature intellectual resources. And I wonder among other things at the relationship between the accomplishments of the greats in those disciplines and the training these resources have made possible. There is, I think, a kind of progress by which a discipline takes on, tests out, rejects or accepts resources, as well as cul-de-sacs it gets into, breaks out of, and so acquires a history of experiences also to draw on. Disciplinary amnesia sometimes renders practitioners myopic, so that they do not see the trap of repetitive behaviours their discipline has fallen into. (In 1978, for example, Leonard Forster complained of such a pattern in literary studies; see "Literary Studies as Flight from Literature?") But those patterns are there to be observed. Thus my passion for the history of digital humanities. Still, this history has been accumulating for barely 70 years -- not much when compared to history itself, or classics, or philosophy. Even English literary studies has considerably more. But no use complaining about not having the wisdom of the old. Better, I think, to be an apprentice and have new challenges to put to those sages.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2016 20:31:52 +0100 From: Tim Smithers Subject: about excessively long links ... Dear Willard, It feels strange that our digital world still gets in the way of things like this. And a contradiction that the same technology we render tools from that make good type setting easily available to all, is also behind what makes even well formatted plain text hard to sustain. It is, I think, a sign of the lack of needed Humanities in the Technology and Tool Design scene, digital or otherwise. We develop technologies from which to render tools. Tools are for humans to use, always, and only. To me, the invention and use of new tools, and the discovery and development of the technologies we render these tools from, are quintessentially human activities. In part, they are what makes us Human. So, when the tools we use scratch and hurt us, some humanness gets lost. The excessively long links in text scratch and hurt our (human) reading. But, I've been wondering, why they are there in the first place: why put a link in the text at all? If they are pointers to references cited in the text, which seems to be mostly the case, then the link should be in a list of references or notes at the end. This is how we've done this kind of thing for a long time. So, it can't be that people don't know this, can it? If, instead, the links are put in the text to offer the reader a place to jump out of it, to somewhere else, what kind of reading are we inviting readers to engage in? This is not how Hyper Card documents were made. Yes, these too had embedded links--which were of course made readable--but Hyper Card documents, good ones, at least, placed links to offer different ways onwards for the reader, not outwards, to who knows where? So, it does seem to me, that even if long links are unavoidable, they should not be appearing in text bodies any way. If this is the case, then a script that replaces http links in text with reference numbers, and builds a list of the links and their numbers to be put at the end of the text, shouldn't be too difficult to build, by someone who knows how to do these kinds of things. And, if I understand things well, this would not disturb safe link checking etc. Or perhaps I've just not caught up with the way we do thingsin our (nearly) everything digital world.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2016 09:43:49 +0200 From: Avraham Roos Subject: Sharing a distant reading poetic devices detector tool PDD is an Excel-based distant reading research tool created by Avraham Roos (avrahamroos@gmail.com) who is doing his PhD research (UvA) on the English (re)translations of the Hebrew Haggadah, the semi-liturgic booklet religious Jews read out-loud on Passover Eve in a family-setting. Roos is creating a digital corpus of more than 50 different English translations dating from the first (1770) to modern ones and is using digital tools to analyze and visualize these. More about his research HERE and HERE . The Haggadah text contains many poetic devices and as such is a real challenge for translators. Some disregard most and focus on accuracy of content while others attempt to imitate the textual structures as closely as possible. This tool helps to differentiate between these two groups by focusing on and visualization of three distinct poetic devices: End of line rhyme, end of line word repetition and initial letter abecedarian acrostics. The initial hypothesis is that a high frequency of any of these (or a combination) in comparison to other translations in the corpus will point to a translation in which also other poetic devices are distinct. This can thus be used as a starting point for further close reading. Although in principle one could just read through all versions in the corpus to manually identify the poetic translations, this is not practical in larger corpora. In addition, the tool sometimes highlights places of interest easily missed with cursory reading. The tool in its present state is in the proof of concept state.

I recall reading about Charles Sanders Peirce proposals for a new notation for logic and mathematics (e.g. Figure 8 here http://www.iep.utm.edu/peir-log/ ) that was just too hard to typeset in 1900 to catch on. Personally I prefer in-text links and I sometimes click to open them in a new tab so I can come back to them later. A good compromise is what Wikipedia does where if you hover over [1] a description of the reference appears and [1] is a link so I can open it as a new tab. But with tablets and phones that rely upon touch it becomes hard to hover over text and to choose how one wants to open a link. -ken kahn _______________________________________________ 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 7E749848D; Tue, 13 Dec 2016 07:49:15 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A4F8B81CC; Tue, 13 Dec 2016 07:49:14 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 01AD36A53; Tue, 13 Dec 2016 07:49:11 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161213064912.01AD36A53@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 07:49:11 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.571 ACH and the aftermath -- and the humanities X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20161213064915.14973.75649@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 571.

The words are Walter Pater's at the end of the chapter on Pico de la Mirandola in _Renaissance_ ... For the essence of humanism is that belief of which he [Pico] seems never to have doubted, that nothing which has ever interested living men and women can wholly lose its vitality -- no language they have spoken, nor oracle beside which they have hushed their voices, no dream which has once been entertained by actual human minds, nothing about which they have ever been passionate, or expended time and zeal.

This new site, www.blakearchive.org, retains all of the features of the previous site, which had become so indispensable to Blake scholars, and offers vast improvements, making it easier than ever for educators and scholars to access and study Blake’s inimitable works. The Blake Archive, one of the pre-eminent digital humanities sites in the world, is a hypermedia archive of Blake's poetry and art that is sponsored by the Library of Congress and supported by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Rochester. Past support came from the Getty Grant Program, the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Archive integrates, for the first time, all of Blake's visual and literary work. It comprises almost 7,000 high-resolution digital images of Blake’s illuminated books, paintings, drawings, manuscripts, and engravings drawn from over 45 of the world’s great research libraries and museums. The redesigned Archive is faster and easier to navigate, is aesthetically more appealing, and offers a more robust search feature. Users may view color corrected digital images of Blake’s works at their true size, and enlarge and rotate these images to examine the text and illustrations in detail. The images are accompanied by diplomatic transcriptions and editors’ notes, as well as illustration descriptions that make it possible to search Blake’s works for visual motifs. The Archive also provides full bibliographic and provenance information for each digital edition it publishes. Though the Archive retains its focus on the material conditions of Blake’s art, presenting images in the context of works and copies, such as The Marriage of Heaven and Hell Copy B, the newly designed site contextualizes each work, copy, and object in a network of relations. Users of the site can view each Blakean object alongside objects in the same copy, objects printed from the same matrix, objects from the same production sequence, and objects with similar designs. This contextualization, which draws on the expertise of the Archive’s editors, enables comparisons across time, medium, and genre, and foregrounds the immense variety and the recurring themes of Blake’s art. The Archive was conceived in 1993—long before the term “digital humanities” was coined—by Morris Eaves, Robert N. Essick, and Joseph Viscomi. Developed at the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia, it has been hosted by UNC Libraries since 2006. The Archive, which has published 134 fully searchable and scalable digital editions of Blake’s works in all genres, became the first digital scholarly edition to receive the Modern Language Association’s (MLA) Prize for a Distinguished Scholarly Edition (2003) and the first to receive its Approved Edition seal (2005)—landmarks in the history of the digital humanities. The project’s standards and practices have themselves been the subject of considerable scholarship: there are over 50 chapters, essays, MA theses, and reviews on the Archive, its origins, history, development, and use; see Articles about the Archive in the About the Archive section of the site. In late 2013, under the leadership of the Archive’s editors, the redesign team began architecting the new site. In early 2014, the team joined with UNC’s Libraries and ITS Research Computing to re-conceptualize the public face of the Archive, using tip-of-technology programming languages and aesthetic practices. With its new back end built on the open source object-relational database system PostgreSQL and the search platform Solr, and its front end composed in the AngularJS framework, fit for dynamic views demanded by the complexities of Blake's works, the Archive will again set the gold standard for digital humanities projects. The Archive’s redesign team was headed by co-editor Joseph Viscomi and comprises Consultant on Special Projects (and former Project Manager) Ashley Reed, Managing Editor Joseph Fletcher, and Assistant Editor Michael Fox, who as system architect designed the new front and back end, and contributed programming. Special thanks goes to Frank Yonnetti at DesignHammer for implementing the foundation of the interface. Assistant Project Manager Grant Glass joined the team in 2016. Further development and financial support came from Sarah Michalak, UNC’s University Librarian and Associate Provost, Chris Kielt, Vice Chancellor and CIO, and Mike Barker, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Research Computing, who collaborated with a team from UNC Libraries under Associate University Librarian for Digital Strategies and Information Technology Timothy J. Shearer, to assist the Archive in realizing the new design. The Archive is especially grateful for the work of Nathan Rice, from Research Computing, and Luke Aeschleman, from the Libraries, whose programming and web design assistance were vital to the completion of the redesign.

The DH2017 Program Committee invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. Proposals may be submitted here: https://www.conftool.pro/dh2017/. The submission deadline is February 17, 2017 at 11:59 GMT. Excerpt from the DH2017 CFP : *Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials* Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of participants. Workshop proposals may take many forms, including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, as well as proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen. Proposals should provide the following information: - Title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); - Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; - Description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and - Special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: - A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half-day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: - Intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one-and-a-half days); - Proposed budget (as workshops are expected to be self-financing); and - If the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. ----------------- S.E.

Maier, Anna Novokhatko) Digital text analysis is increasing in prominence throughout the humanities. The ever growing availability of data has opened scholars to the possibilities of quantitative text analysis as a method of learning about the form and content of text. Greek and Latin text analysis in particular poses new questions through the development of text analysis tools and technologies. The 2-day conference is planned to discuss best practices in methods, methodology, tools and technology and hermeneutical reflections on text analysis. This Call for Papers is oriented particularly to all kind of digital projects on Ancient Greek and Latin texts based on central questions such as levels and techniques for the analysis of large bodies of texts: morphosyntactical, style/register determining, textual-critical, content, hermeneutic criteria for defining and recognizing items (letters, words, phrases and reference methods) multimodal and multicodal capabilities of text the relationship between text, e-text, and hypertext the methods and perspectives of semiotic and semantic analysis of text/graphic relationship The focus of the conference is an evaluation of the status quo in the digital analysis of Greek and Latin texts (literary and documents, papyri, manuscripts, inscriptions) – what sort of questions have been asked/answered/not yet answered/cannot be answered? Some speakers from non-classical fields have been invited, such experts in text analysis who can contribute to a broader overview of the issues. We call scholars from all academic levels to submit abstracts (max. 500 words, for a 20-min paper followed by a 20-min discussion) by December 20, 2016 to Dr. Anna Novokhatko (anna.novokhatko@altphil.uni-freiburg.de ). In particular, we are interested in theoretical and methodological approaches to analyzing classical texts either in research or for teaching purposes. The conference will be held in English. Confirmed invited speakers (provisional titles included): Rodney Ast (Heidelberg) The Humanities’ place in the Digital Humanities. A case study in Papyrology Lou Burnard (Oxford) title to be specified James Brusuelas (Oxford) Neural Classics?

The proposed work will build upon the Canonical Text Services protocols in general and upon the CaPiTains Tool Suite and Guidelines for CTS in particular (http://capitains.github.io/ and in particular http://capitains.github.io/pages/guidelines). The proposed work builds upon the existing CTS server in the CapiTainS ToolSuite. The focus is primarily upon the interface. We are seeking recommendations from members of the community (Digital Humanists and Digital Classicists as well as libraries) for developers. The call will be open but we want to make sure that we reach contractors with relevant experience — we are not building a standard e-commerce site. We need a contractor who will be able to take in our needs and who will be able to accomplish the job. While we expect that the initial contract will last one year, there is a possibility of a second phase of work generalizing the initial efforts to support a wider range of language, as planning project for a possible Global Philology Project is underway. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 7A7AE84D3; Fri, 16 Dec 2016 06:50:47 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8080884CF; Fri, 16 Dec 2016 06:50:46 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8B4B38349; Fri, 16 Dec 2016 06:50:41 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161216055041.8B4B38349@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2016 06:50:41 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.580 research fellowship at Westminster (London) 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: <20161216055047.12156.84500@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 580.

This is the first book on the topic as far as I know. Four short articles based on chapters of the book were published by *Elsevier SciTech Connect*. The last one, *Academic city of villages*, may be of particular interest to this list: > > I would like to propose that the way in which humanists negotiate the fast > changing information world is based on the model I call the ‘*academic > city of villages*’.

Many books (the cellulose variety) used to come with a floppy disk in an envelope on the inside back corner. Can you access a floppy? Then there were archives of 7-track tapes. On and on - and then consider software data formats - e.g. documents in WordStar, Word Perfect, ... Even reading the data punched into the classic "punch card" is neither fast nor inexpensive. Transcribing one card by hand may take a couple of minutes. But if one has say, 100 boxes of punch cards, with 2,000 cards/box, that's around 16MB, or likely somewhat less. That, today, is not much data, but transcribing it by hand is too time consuming and error prone to be sensible. There are services, and since they don't seem to publish their prices, I suspect that the costs are considerable. Of course these problems go far beyond the borders of library collections, and I'm glad to see this topic received continuing attention such as shown here. Other groups paying attention include http://www.obsoletemedia.org and also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_obsolescence or do a search for "obsolete data formats". --henry schaffer On Sat, Dec 17, 2016 at 1:27 AM, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 583. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2016 16:04:01 +0000 > From: Sharon Webb > Subject: DPASSH News on Friday: Lizzy Jongma announced as Keynote > Speaker AND 2nd Phase of Submissions - Short Papers and Expert Panels > > > Digital Preservation for Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities > (DPASSH 2017) > University of Sussex, Brighton, 14-15 June 2017 > ... _______________________________________________ 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 C84AE85A6; Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:04:19 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2A03485A2; Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:04:19 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 079B085A1; Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:04:16 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20161218070417.079B085A1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:04:16 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.586 salaried PhD positions in Leiden 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: <20161218070419.2692.14671@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 586.

Jan. 30, 2017: Deadline for Paper Submission. [...] Brief Desciption: The Eighth International Conference on Swarm Intelligence (ICSI 2017) serves as an important forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange latest advantages in theories, technologies, and applications of swarm intelligence and related areas. The ICSI??2017 is the eighth annual event in this high-reputation ICSI series after Bali event (ICSI 2016), Beijing joint event (ICSI-CCI 2015), Hefei event (ICSI 2014), Harbin event (ICSI 2013), Shenzhen event (ICSI 2012), Chongqing event (ICSI 2011) and Beijing event (ICSI 2010). Papers presented at the ICSI 2017 will be published in Springer's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (indexed by EI Compendex, ISTP, DBLP, SCOPUS, Web of Science ISI Thomson, etc.), some high-quality papers will be selected for SCI-indexed Transaction and Journal (including IEEE/ACM Trans on CBB, NC, CC, IJSIR, IJCIPR, etc.). [...] The ICSI??2017 will be held in the center of the Fukuoka City. Historical city, Fukuoka, is the 5th largest city in Japan with 1.6 million populations and locates at the northern end of the Kyushu Island and is the economical and cultural center of whole Kyushu Island. Because of its closeness to the Asian mainland, Fukuoka has been an important harbor city for many centuries. Today's Fukuoka is the product of the fusion of two cities in the year 1889, when the port city of Hakata and the former castle town of Fukuoka were united into one city called Fukuoka. We are sure that you will have a wonderful experience of visiting Fukuoka of Japan during the ICSI 2017. We look forward to welcoming you in Japan in 2017! ------------------------------- General Co-chairs: Prof. Ying Tan (China) Prof. Hideyuki TAKAGI (Japan) Program Co-chair: Prof. Yuhui Shi (USA) ------------------------------- ICSI'2017 Secretariat Email: icsi2017@ic-si.org WWW: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ic-si.org&data=01%7C01%7Cwillard.mccarty%40kcl.ac.uk%7Cc73aa85bbd6f41be32ab08d426e97daf%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&sdata=MeKS%2F4U%2BrEgx5mQ5NHSVWjKSZw4Nm0ktBvQIHMEzWs0%3D&reserved=0 _______________________________________________ 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 35D6085A9; Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:44:38 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7148685A4; Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:44:37 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 675DE85A3; Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:44:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161218074434.675DE85A3@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2016 08:44:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.589 on swarm intelligence and related matters 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: <20161218074437.22747.14053@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 589.

I can read my Word Perfect files from 1982 just fine in Word Perfect X8, which I just bought. But don't try that with Word files from 1982.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 11:00:43 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Solstitial greetings from London You might recall that for all of its almost 30 years I've sent out solstitial greetings and Yuletide meditations at about this time, which from where I write is mostly gloom ("An indefinite degree of darkness or obscurity, the result of night, clouds, deep shadow, etc.") -- though as it happens, not this bright morning. A good time to be cozy, which is something the English do very well. Bonhomie was brought to me yesterday morning unexpectedly via the Radio 4 programme "The Life Scientific", which presented an interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist and Director of the Hayden Planetarium, best known for hosting the television series Cosmos. I admit to preferring Carl Sagan's original Cosmos, but Tyson's interview told a good story, of someone virtually invisible to the teachers in the schools he passed through, too full of beans to be considered a good student (someone who stays quiet then comes up with the correct answer when asked), Then he got into Cornell. The interviewer asked him why he left Princeton later on to take a job in the Planetarium, whether he would not rather have continued as a research scientist, a position many might greatly prefer. His answer amounted to a definition of a role -- that of the public intellectual, though he didn't use so grand a term -- that I think those of us in digital humanities might consider seriously as a career option. He said that people often invite him to appear on television or radio to discuss some new scientific breakthrough; always, he said, he replies that they should interview those who made the discovery, that he does not talk about someone else's work, that what he does is to talk about the science into which this or that discovery fits, or which it disrupts, or which, it reveals, needs a look elsewhere. Someone who puts the disciplinary jigsaw puzzle together and communicates it to non-specialists. Cosmology to the likes of Tyson means one thing, but lately I've been thinking about it in a different, historical and philosophical sense. I've been thinking about the potential value to be had by drawing an analogy between artificially intelligent entities on the one hand and on the other people so different from ourselves that what they say and do is to us sufficiently foreign, unfamiliar, bizarre as to require serious enquiry. I wonder if anthropology as it has become in the last two or three decades (at the hands of Philippe Descola, Marilyn Strathern, Almira and Anne Salmond, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro et al) might provide us with the outlines of an ethnology of the artificially intelligent. What do you think? What world do we, can we, could we see from the perspective of our artificial companions? In this time of good cheer, familial gatherings, tasty food and pleasing drink or other inducements to Gemütlichkeit, perhaps I will get away with airing such a notion, and someone will be so unusually well intentioned that they will supply the missing marbles, giving no sign of noticing that I have happily lost some. But in this still sober moment it does seem to me that it's time we plan for, take a hand in a future not terribly far away, I'd guess, when Alexa and her kind initiate conversations, or are talking amongst themselves in such an intriguing way that we want to join in. Meanwhile allow me to wish everyone (even those who put shrimp on the barbie at the beach this time of year) a very happy Christmas or Hanukkah or Yule (the festivals to come this December that I know about). And now to light that fire....

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 23:34:50 +0000 From: Alexander Wragge-Morley Subject: BSHS Panel on Science and Connoisseurship: CFP Dear All, Michael Bycroft and I are seeking speakers for a session on science and connoisseurship that we are organising for the BSHS Annual Conference in July. Please see the CFP below for details, and feel free to circulate it widely. We hope some of you will find it interesting! Call for Papers: Session proposal organised by Michael Bycroft and Alex Wragge-Morley British Society for the History of Science Annual Conference, 6-9 July 2017 Science and Connoisseurship: New Perspectives This session seeks to open up new directions in the growing field of research examining the connections between science and connoisseurship. Historians have generally examined these connections by focusing on well-recognised moments in the emergence of 'art' as a category in European thought, for instance by revealing the role of the Royal Society of London in providing an institutional foundation for the arts in the late 17th- and early 18th centuries, or by examining the appropriation of artistic discourses and practices by scientific practitioners in the Italian Renaissance. However, we would like to open up the field to new lines of inquiry, reflecting recent developments in historiography and theory. These could include: 1. What can we learn by studying practices for assessing the quality of material things, including art objects, gemstones, scientific instruments, military equipment and consumer goods? 2. Was connoisseurship an embodied discipline? To what extent (if ever) were embodied practices for assessing art objects abandoned? 3. Why did medics play such a crucial role in the emergence of connoisseurial practices? 4. What can be done to combine the history of connoissership with the history of regulatory institutions, from the Bureau de Commerce in eighteenth-century France to the FDA in twentieth-century America? 5. Which sciences drew on the practices of connoisseurship? Historians often look at medicine and natural history in the context of connoisseurial practices. But what about 'harder' sciences such as mathematics, physics, astronomy and chemistry? And what about the human sciences? 6. To what extent did practices for evaluting works of art inform the sciences in non-European contexts? Do questions about the connections between science and connoisseurship depend on European understandings of the disciplinary distinctions between art and science? 7. Were the practices of connoisseurship implicated in the emergence of 'scientific' theories of race? 8. Did connoisseurial practices play a significant role in the sciences of the 19th and 20th centuries? If you are interested in participating in this panel, please send a paper abstract of no more than 250 words and a brief bio to either/both Michael Bycroft (M.Bycroft@warwick.ac.uk) or Alex Wragge-Morley (alexander.wragge-morley@ucl.ac.uk) by 10 January 2017 at the latest. This will give us time to put the final session together ahead of the BSHS's final deadline of 19 January. All the best, Alex _______________________________________________ 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 B33E585DB; Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:31:40 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9714385D5; Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:31:39 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C3F2A85D4; Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:31:36 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20161221093136.C3F2A85D4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 10:31:36 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.598 events: Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20161221093140.18536.3767@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 598.

Subject: Re: 30.595 Solstitial greetings from London In-Reply-To: <20161221092643.5CEAE838C@digitalhumanities.org> Lurking happy holidays! As to AI and cosmology, have you read the recent NY Times Sunday Magazine article on Google Brain? The author proceeds on the assumption that the Google work on translation is really important and really a breakthrough because until now no one took neural networks seriously -- just a failed fad of the 90s. I remember computational linguistics etc back then as enormously stimulating and plainly notice it even now carrying routinely and usefully forward into the present, see inter alia a gaggle of Humanist postings. The point? I think there's real history work ready to be done right now. Or maybe I just don't know what's what. Best going forward!

A good time to be cozy, which is something the English do very well. Bonhomie was brought to me yesterday morning unexpectedly via the Radio 4 programme "The Life Scientific", which presented an interview with Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist and Director of the Hayden Planetarium, best known for hosting the television series Cosmos. I admit to preferring Carl Sagan's original Cosmos, but Tyson's interview told a good story, of someone virtually invisible to the teachers in the schools he passed through, too full of beans to be considered a good student (someone who stays quiet then comes up with the correct answer when asked), Then he got into Cornell. The interviewer asked him why he left Princeton later on to take a job in the Planetarium, whether he would not rather have continued as a research scientist, a position many might greatly prefer. His answer amounted to a definition of a role -- that of the public intellectual, though he didn't use so grand a term -- that I think those of us in digital humanities might consider seriously as a career option. He said that people often invite him to appear on television or radio to discuss some new scientific breakthrough; always, he said, he replies that they should interview those who made the discovery, that he does not talk about someone else's work, that what he does is to talk about the science into which this or that discovery fits, or which it disrupts, or which, it reveals, needs a look elsewhere. Someone who puts the disciplinary jigsaw puzzle together and communicates it to non-specialists. Cosmology to the likes of Tyson means one thing, but lately I've been thinking about it in a different, historical and philosophical sense. I've been thinking about the potential value to be had by drawing an analogy between artificially intelligent entities on the one hand and on the other people so different from ourselves that what they say and do is to us sufficiently foreign, unfamiliar, bizarre as to require serious enquiry. I wonder if anthropology as it has become in the last two or three decades (at the hands of Philippe Descola, Marilyn Strathern, Almira and Anne Salmond, Eduardo Viveiros de Castro et al) might provide us with the outlines of an ethnology of the artificially intelligent. What do you think? What world do we, can we, could we see from the perspective of our artificial companions? In this time of good cheer, familial gatherings, tasty food and pleasing drink or other inducements to Gemütlichkeit, perhaps I will get away with airing such a notion, and someone will be so unusually well intentioned that they will supply the missing marbles, giving no sign of noticing that I have happily lost some. But in this still sober moment it does seem to me that it's time we plan for, take a hand in a future not terribly far away, I'd guess, when Alexa and her kind initiate conversations, or are talking amongst themselves in such an intriguing way that we want to join in. Meanwhile allow me to wish everyone (even those who put shrimp on the barbie at the beach this time of year) a very happy Christmas or Hanukkah or Yule (the festivals to come this December that I know about). And now to light that fire....

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2016 22:03:09 -0600 From: "Thomas Haigh" Subject: New CACM piece - Turing, Tutte and Flowers [Forwarded from SIGCIS] Hello SIGCIS, My holiday gift to the world was just published online in CACM (out in the Jan edition on paper): http://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2017/1/211102-colossal-genius/fulltext. It's one of the articles chosen for open access so you don't need a subscription. In "Colossal Genius: Tutte, Flowers, and a Bad Imitation of Turing" I trash The Imitation Game and its treatment of Bletchley Park, which is neither a controversial thing to do nor particularly timely, but hopefully sets up a contrast with discussion of some aspects of the actual history. Then look at another side of Bletchley Park history: the work on the "Tunny" teleprinter code, starting with Bill Tutte's work to figure the thing out and then the contributions by Flowers and others to mechanize aspects of codebreaking. I make a careful but probably doomed attempt to explain without any equations how and why Tutte's attack worked, the job that Colossus was designed for, and how the different parts of the codebreaking process fitted together. As in my work on ENIAC there's a nod to labor issues and an examination of what kinds of work are celebrated and what kinds forgotten. I recommend reading the PDF version, as the web one hides at the very bottom two diagrams that help to make the encryption discussion more comprehensible. This is the first publication from my project with Mark Priestley on Colossus. The focus here is on codebreaking rather than Colossus itself, though I do share the perhaps controversial judgment that Colossus was neither a computer nor programmable. There will be a lot more detail on this side of things - we have in draft from a lengthy technical report on the Colossus family machines and their configuration methods and capabilities. Also two draft journal articles. The idea is not to dismiss Colossus as unimportant, but to better understand it as a digital communications and bitstream processing device rather than shoehorning it into the ill-fitting category of "computer." Festive greetings to you all, Tom _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D34D485FF; Fri, 23 Dec 2016 10:49:43 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AEC1C85FB; Fri, 23 Dec 2016 10:49:42 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8AA6285DC; Fri, 23 Dec 2016 10:49:40 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20161223094940.8AA6285DC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2016 10:49:40 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.602 solstitial greetings 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: <20161223094943.23389.96074@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 602.

As to AI and cosmology, have you read the recent NY Times Sunday Magazine article on Google Brain? The author proceeds on the assumption that the Google work on translation is really important and really a breakthrough because until now no one took neural networks seriously -- just a failed fad of the 90s. I remember computational linguistics etc back then as enormously stimulating and plainly notice it even now carrying routinely and usefully forward into the present, see inter alia a gaggle of Humanist postings. The point? I think there's real history work ready to be done right now. Or maybe I just don't know what's what. > > Best going forward! > > Pat Gudridge > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Dec 21, 2016, at 4:26 AM, Humanist Discussion Group > wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 595. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > > Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 11:00:43 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > > Subject: Solstitial greetings from London > > You might recall that for all of its almost 30 years I've sent out > solstitial greetings and Yuletide meditations at about this time, which from > where I write is mostly gloom ("An indefinite degree of darkness or > obscurity, the result of night, clouds, deep shadow, etc.") -- though as it > happens, not this bright morning.

We use “Named Entities” in a larger sense than usual, not just in terms of simple “proper names”, but as real expressions of cultural/cognitive patterns in the representation of geospatial and social information as they appear in premodern sources. The discussion will include spatial descriptions as community knowledge, graphic representations of the world, prosopographies, social networks, movements of people across time and space, classification and relations of toponyms and personal names. We will focus on several language domains, including Ancient Greek and Latin, Arabic, Chinese, Syriac and Hebrew. Our aim is to make the point about what has been done in this field and to discuss common issues and opportunities of developing an infrastructure that is shared across historical languages.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 24 Dec 2016 10:47:28 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: dreaming for 2017 We speak of dreaming to denote states of mind during sleep, but we also speak of it as synonymous with imagining or envisioning: "your old men shall dream dreams (somnia somniabunt), your young men shall see visions (visiones videbunt)." (Joel 2:28), in which biblical passage, at least as translated by the learned scholars of the KJV faithfully from the Vulgate, no distinction is drawn. Without tackling the question of how the dream-states of sleep inform the waking life, I write this as preface to a quotation from the Austrian artist and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The words came to me this Christmas Eve morning on a card from a long-time dear friend and colleague (salut, מִיכָאֵל!): > Traüme sind die Letzte Zuflucht des Menschen, die Letzten > Königreiche, die ihm ganz gehören. Träume zerstören ist so, wie wenn > man dem Menschen seine Wurzeln und seine Zukunft wegnähme und nichts > bleibt, wonach er sich sehnen kann. Der Mensch Lebt von Träumen. > > Dreams are the last refuge of man, the last kingdom, which belongs to > him. To destroy dreams is to destroy his roots and take away his > future, and nothing remains that he can long for. Man lives from > dreams. This is to encourage the giving of attention, last on Humanist for a day or two, to the fruitful interrelation of computing and imagining, which is to say, not to move via computing from insubstantial dreams toward greater certainty, toward a nailing down of facts, to move from wild notions toward things that work -- to do that only. What the history of computational simulation shows us -- to pluck a bit from my own recent work -- is that our beloved machine is for imagining as much or more than it is for supporting "The Cult of the Fact", as Liam Hudson entitled his book (1972). Hundertwasser, for example, was an architect as well as a painter and graphic artist. The problem of course is in the polarization -- and in the supposition that our ideas and inclinations do not feed back into new machines. 'Now more than ever' was my friend's appended message. Work for 2017, days and nights. More of the best for the holidays!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2016 16:12:53 +0000 From: Association for Computers and the Humanities Subject: ACH Newsletter, Winter 2016 Newsletter, Winter 2016 President's Letter Dear ACH friends and colleagues, A year ago, I wrote to our members as part of my presidential platform that “there is a stark need for ACH to step forward to take a proactive role in advocating for a diverse future that is built around the values of our membership.” I itemized three areas that I hoped my two years as ACH president might address: 1) developing a set of guidelines for the evaluation of digital humanities scholarship; 2) conducting an open discussion about whether ACH should continue to be a global digital humanities organization or whether we should limit our engagement to a particular set of geographical boundaries? and 3) seeking a deeper understanding of how to diversify our conferences and larger organizational structures. I’m so pleased to report that the Executive Committee has made concrete progress on all three of these issues. At our general membership meeting in Kraków, Poland, the Executive Committee opened the ACH Guidelines for Assessment of Digital Scholarship in Tenure and Promotion [...] for comment by members. Begun under the leadership of Johanna Drucker with the assistance of Glen Worthey, our former president, Stéfan Sinclair, and others, these guidelines serve as an important resource for members to use to advocate for themselves. They can assist in guiding employers in recognizing the work our membership is doing in a variety of academic and public contexts. Thank you to those of you who submitted feedback. We hope the final version that you are being asked to endorse in the current election materials reflect all the hard work this document represents. We’ve also made strides in answering the question I hear most frequently from new members: Is ACH a US-based digital humanities organization or is it a global organization? Our Executive Committee confidently answers that “The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH) is a major professional and scholarly society focused on the digital humanities throughout the United States. While based in the U.S., ACH is open to all, regardless of geographic location, as non-U.S. members have important perspectives to offer to American digital humanities practitioners.” More simply, while most of our business takes place in the US, we are interested in members from throughout the world contributing to our organizational goals. It is our hope that our 2017 membership drive sees tremendous success in outreach to new members of diverse backgrounds and far-flung locales. Importantly, note that we’ve got a great $26.00 rate for student members. Please make sure to ask your colleagues whether they are members of ACH and if they aren’t, encourage them to join us . I wrote in my candidate statement that “repeatedly, our membership has expressed their frustration with the seeming lack of diversity in approaches, methods, and presenters [of the annual conference]...How might our activities better represent not just who we are now but the diverse future we hope to embody? Are there systemic issues that we should address to present not just linguistic diversity but diversity in its many manifestations?” Again, this summer, we heard these clarion calls in social media back-channels and via private correspondence to Executive Committee members. I want to assure you that the Executive Committee hears these concerns and recognizes the importance of ACH representing its core values without compromise: inclusive, diverse, and accessible across the humanities disciplines as well as our own backgrounds. You’ll be pleased to see a revised statement of ACH identity in the current election materials for your endorsement that builds upon the brief statement quoted above. It not only clarifies our aims but also serves as a reminder that all our core activities (advocacy, professional development, grants & awards, and publications) should continually strive to be inclusive, diverse, and accessible. A number of pivotal issues have confronted our organization in the last year or so in the form of discussions about our identity, our values, and our role as a professional organization. These conversations have only been heightened for us in these last few months following not only the US Presidential election but also episodes of hateful speech, harassment, and acts of violence against members of historically vulnerable communities. These attacks have occurred not just in physical environments on campuses and in Ferguson, Missouri and Cannon Ball, North Dakota, but also through social media and other digital platforms. As our organization is devoted to the exploration of intersectionality and critical exploration of technology and the humanities, it was important for ACH to address the membership at this fraught time in our collective history. I encourage you, if you have not already, to review the Statement on the Aftermath of the 2016 Election [...] published on the ACH website and included below. It provides a number of commitments from ACH to our membership. It signals our continuing history as an organization committed to critical thinking, professional development, and diverse, inclusive, and accessible communities. And, significantly, in the coming months you’ll receive information on specific initiatives and opportunities that will back up our words with directed action. We also welcome input from members to guide us as we move these initiatives forward. We should also be proud of other accomplishments this year and soon to come that share these aims: ● Led by Diane Jakacki, program chair of the 2017 annual conference, the pool of potential reviewers has been dramatically increased both in sheer quantity but also in variety of representational knowledge and diverse backgrounds. Johanna Drucker and Jeremy Boggs are working as our ACH representatives on the Program Committee. If you have a moment to thank them for their service, please do so. ● Since July, the membership committee has secured purchasing discounts for ACH members with leading digital humanities presses to ensure that our members have access to recent scholarship at affordable rates. ● The awards committee has distributed another year’s worth of funding to our microgrant winners. They have been working on evaluating the current guidelines to ensure a smooth application process and clear evaluation criteria. ● Members of the communications committee are working to revamp our strategies for communicating with our members. They studied our existing social media platforms and have drafted recommendations to take our content to where our membership is virtually. In the coming months, you’ll see refreshed website content as well the growth of the DH slack channel . ● Vika Zafrin, our invaluable secretary, supported by Glen Worthey, has completed documents associated with the revision to the election cycle so that it coincides with the calendar year. This will allow our members to more easily track and renew their membership. Vika also been behind the scenes ensuring that our internal documentation is up to par for future generations of ACHers interested in writing our own history. ● As part of our internal refresh, Brian Croxall led the establishment of an ACH Conflict of Interest policy. All Executive Committee members now complete an annual accounting of any conflicts they might have so as to ensure a transparent operation of the association. ● Tanya Clement, working in conjunction with former treasurer Jarom McDonald, is updating our accounting procedures to ensure ACH is compliant with all applicable financial laws. And, in conjunction with our committee chairs, she’s ensuring that our activities as an organization have sufficient financial resources. This year, the Executive Committee approved providing supplemental funding to Digital Humanities Quarterly to assist the journal in its duties in addition to our annual contribution to the DHQ operating budget. These are just a few of the ongoing activities we’re completing or are currently working on. As we head into 2017, I thank you for your continued investment in ACH. Your efforts, voices, and brilliant minds are transformative for the academy, the public, and our future. Best wishes, Jennifer ACH Statement in the Aftermath of the 2016 Election The results of the recent presidential election in the United States have been accompanied by a troubling increase in cases of hateful speech, harassment, and acts of violence against members of historically vulnerable communities. The Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH), a scholarly organization for digital humanists based in the United States, condemns in the strongest possible terms state and federal proposals that would exacerbate this trend by targeting ethnic and religious groups, people of color, LGBTQIA communities, and others in ways that are antithetical to the principles of diversity, inclusion, access, liberty, free expression, and equal rights. The implementation of inhumane and divisive conditions for immigration, such as border walls; the elimination of healthcare and civil protections for LGBTQIA, the poor, and other underrepresented groups; and the exercise of political persecution, hate speech and/or curtailments of freedom of the press and the academy all contravene these principles and are worryingly reminiscent of policies from past fascist regimes. ACH opposes the resurgence of oppressive practices, the potential rollback of civil liberties, and all acts of hate against U.S. citizens, immigrants, or citizens of other nations. ACH hereby advocates for a peaceful, caring, and non-violent resistance to discrimination and injustice and pledges to: * support our academic colleagues who may be at risk; * reaffirm the recognition that intellectual, cultural, institutional, and other forms of diversity make a vital contribution to scholarship, practice, and our daily lives; * commit our work towards a humanistic understanding of the impact technology is having in shaping and spreading fascist values, and support the creation of alternative and resistant infrastructures and platforms to promote communities of humanities scholars that are based on mutual respect for diversity and civil rights; * advocate for the importance of academic freedom and the creation and preservation of archives against cuts to funding, access, classification, and erasure; and * promote social change and contribute to a more socially and publicly engaged academia by dedicating awards funding to work in digital humanities that explicitly addresses current socio-political issues. To accomplish this, we welcome ideas and points of action, especially as they may facilitate initiatives to protect our constituents against discrimination in all its forms, whether racism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, misogyny, or ableism. To our members in a position to do so, we further ask you to join in this effort and to help us reach out and support ACH colleagues. Finally, we encourage ACH members to contact any member of the Executive Council to ask for assistance as we move forward. Microgrants Awarded 2016 We're pleased to report that the proposals were very strong and we are able to support three excellent projects with microgrants. The winners are: * Nicole Keller Day and Elizabeth Polcha of Northeastern University for A Feminist Digital Commons. The microgrant is funding server hosting and hack-a-thons to create a digital feminist commons. * Alicia Peaker of Bryn Mawr College for Digital Exhibitions: An Open Source Scalar Template. The microgrant is funding travel costs for a Scalar consultant to visit Bryn Mawr and work with the recipient to develop a new Scalar template for digital exhibitions. * Christina Boyles and Andrew Petersen of the University of Iowa for Makers by Mail. The microgrant is funding supplies for Boyles and Petersen's makerspace-by-mail kits. New Conflict of Interest Policy At the annual ACH Executive Council meeting in Kraków during the Digital Humanities 2016 conference, the Council discussed a possible conflict of interest policy. The discussion was not motivated by any particular incident but instead by the desire to make explicit the expectations and behaviors that the Officers and members of the Council already believed in. The Council also desired to bring the ACH into line with similar scholarly organizations that had similar policies in place. Following the meeting, members of the Council drafted a policy, based in part on a similar document shared by the Modern Language Association (MLA). The full ACH Executive Council adopted the policy on 25 September 2016. Each Officer and member of the Council has completed a Conflict of Interest Statement and will continue to do so on an annual basis. You can read the full policy on our announcements page . ACH Member Benefits: Publisher Discounts In connection with the annual DH conference, we began approaching university presses to provide discounts for their catalogs. We are now working to partner with presses to offer discounts without expiration dates. To receive discounts, ACH members must order books through the individual Press websites: * MIT Press: 30% discount off list price of all titles in the digital humanities and new media list. Use discount code MADHO30. The code can be used more than once, for multiple titles, and for both print and e-editions where available. No expiration. This is just one of the many benefits we offer to ACH members! Please encourage your colleagues to visit our membership page and join our organization.

I am the co-director of the MarineLives project, which is a collaborartion between academics and non-academics for the transcription, enrichment and linkage of legal documents from teh English High Court of Admiralty in the 1650s. We have used wiki technology since early 2013 to publish transcribed material, together with annotations. We also publish the related manuscript images. In early 2015 we migrated our corpus of 4 million words and over 10,000 images to a semantic mediawiki, which has been slightly tailored to our purposes. You can read an overview from a technical perspective here. http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Tools:_Tech_Talk For examples of what we are doing to exploit the semantic capabilities of the wiki technology see: http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Category:Semantic_biography http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Category:Semantic_occupation http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/Category:Semantic_parish I would be happy to answer any further questions you have about our experience of the SMW functionality.

In-Reply-To: <20161228075706.B3305864C@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Marion, wikis by Wikimedia are a good choice in case you accept the Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 4.0 license for all texts, pictures and other material published (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en). Some archives and museums deny such free access and use of their holdings, moreover, the legislation in some countries doesn't permit such licencing of the photos of cultural heritage. My project of archiving public domain national literature started in 2007 on Wikisource (https://sl.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikivir:Slovenska_leposlovna_klasika) and includes also Wikiversity and Wikimedia Commons, where multimedia files for all Wikimedia wikis are stored. Entering these wikis means you give up the ownership and the exclusive control over the stuff published. Some experts feel unconfortable when somebody from the outside inserts changes in their work. According to my experience, interventions apart from the members of the project group are rare and positive; vandalism is a quickly curable exception.

The workshop examines the historical and emergent conditions of data-driven knowledge production and circulation in India and South Asia. In the context of the Data Revolution, the workshop links emerging research on the history of statistics, new/old technological forms of inscription, digital infrastructures, and governance after Big Data in India and South Asia. The workshop brings together interdisciplinary researchers and practitioners with backgrounds in history of science, anthropology, media and technology studies, software engineering, data science, economics, and policy-making. It is a space to parse lateral connections and mine new ideas to explore the many lives of data, interrogating stable forms and tracking unexpected pathways.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2016 21:26:05 +0100 From: Ken Friedman Subject: In One Year and Out the Other This is not from Ken Friedman, alas. It's 2017, almost, in Sydney less than an hour away -- with, no doubt, a spectacular display of fireworks in Circular Quay, from the Harbour Bridge. No more than pot-banging and a few sparklers here in my little part of East London, though very cheerfully done. Our distinguished colleague Ken, whose greeting I am co-opting, would have done better than I can, no doubt, but his note arrived in form I am unable to translate. I quote only a tiny bit: > MDAzMTE1 > MiAwMDAwMCBuIAp0cmFpbGVyCjw8IC9TaXplIDIzIC9Sb290IDExIDAgUiAvSW5mbyAxIDAgUiAv > SUQgWyA8OGM3YjNkYjhiZTBmYTdkODdjN2NhNmNkYjJhMTZkZWU+Cjw4YzdiM2RiOGJlMGZhN2Q4 > N2M3Y2E2Y2RiMmExNmRlZT4gXSA+PgpzdGFydHhyZWYKMzEzNDcKJSVFT0YK > --Apple-Mail=_4BD562AE-08F6-459D-90B0-6DF69ECCD721-- Since he is less than an hour away from 2017, I must stand in for him and put to you a New Year 2017 incomparably happier than all the evidence that the 7 o'clock news has been delivering for some time now. An old teacher of mine once wrote, "Drinking a cup of tea I stopped the war." Learning how to do that is before us, has always been before us. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

URL: http://ttg.uni-saarland.de/vardial2017/sharedtask2017.html We are offering four tasks this year: - (DSL) Discriminating between Similar Languages Fourth iteration of the DSL task featuring a multilingual dataset containing excerpts of journalistic texts. Languages included this year grouped by similarity are: Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian, Malay and Indonesian, Persian and Dari, Canadian and Hexagonal French, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Argentine, Peninsular, and Peruvian Spanish. - (ADI) Arabic Dialect Identification Second iteration of the task included in the DSL 2016. This year we will be releasing acoustic data along with speech transcripts for the following Arabic dialects: Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, and North-African, and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) - (GDI) German Dialect Identification In addition to Arabic dialects, we propose an analogous task on the identification of four Swiss German dialect areas: Basel, Bern, Lucerne, Zurich. We will provide manually annotated speech transcripts for all dialect areas. - (CLP) Cross-lingual Dependency Parsing The task is to develop models for parsing selected target languages without annotated training data in that language but annotated data in one or two closely related languages. We will include the following language pairs: Target language = Croatian, Source language = Slovenian Target language = Slovak, Source language = Czech Target language = Norwegian, Source languages = Danish and Swedish We will be releasing the training data on Tuesday (December 27) and the test sets on January 25, 2017.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2017 09:53:08 +0100 From: Chiara Palladino Subject: Conference Reminder: Digital Infrastructure for Named Entities Data Digital Infrastructure for Named Entities Data Leipzig, Alexander von Humboldt Chair for Digital Humanities, January 11-13, 2017 The Leipzig Humboldt Chair for Digital Humanities and Pelagios Commons, within the Global Philology Project and with the support of the BMBF, are offering a conference to make the point about existing infrastructures and needs in the field of Named Entities Data. We use “Named Entities” in a larger sense than usual, not just in terms of simple “proper names”, but as real expressions of cultural/cognitive patterns in the representation of geospatial and social information as they appear in premodern sources. The discussion will include spatial descriptions as community knowledge, graphic representations of the world, prosopographies, social networks, movements of people across time and space, classification and relations of toponyms and personal names. We will focus on several language domains, including Ancient Greek and Latin, Arabic, Chinese, Syriac and Hebrew. Our aim is to make the point about what has been done in this field and to discuss common issues and opportunities of developing an infrastructure that is shared across historical languages.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2017 13:40:48 -0600 From: "Thomas Haigh" Subject: Siegen workshop "Exploring the Early Digital" Jan 12-14 [Forwarded from SIGCIS] Dear SIGCIS, Those of you in easy reach of NW Germany might be interested in an event we're holding at Siegen University in just under two weeks (Jan 12-14). There's no registration charge. If you need overnight accommodation the Ramada is the best bet. The workshop is primarily intended to lay the framework for a book, working title "Exploring the Early Digital" that will probably be a mix of new chapters (accessible and argument-driven) with reprints/excerpts of some previously published work. We're trying to broaden from "computers" to "the digital" and so engage with some aspects of media studies, engineering practice, etc. Most of the time will be spent discussing early drafts, but we do have public talks by Paul Ceruzzi and William Aspray. I'm also excited by a panel discussion on structuring overview narratives of computing/the digital with Aspray, Ceruzzi, and Martin Cambell-Kelly. Other participants from beyond Siegen include Gerard Alberts, Maarten Bullynck, Edgar Daylight, Liesbeth De Mol, Ron Kline (via Skype), Pierre Mounier Kuhn, David Link, David Nofre, Mark Priestley, Doron Swade, and Ksenia Tatarchenko. The draft program, which I'll be updating as more details are filled in, is at www.socialstudiesof.info/earlydigital. Or, for those who like shorter URLs, socstud.info/earlydigital.

The issue is guest edited by Gary Hall and Janneke Adema, who produced the seminar. In Gary’s words: "The issue examined the Humanities scholarly tradition critically and creatively as a way of looking toward a more "open", alternative and affirmative future for the Humanities - one in which the Humanities are capable of bringing certain aspects of their own humanist legacy into question (ideas of the university, the book, the journal article, the conference presentation, fixity, the finished object and so on)." The Disrupting the Humanities issue is also itself an example of just such a future for the Humanities. It is itself an experimental form of electronic publishing that its contents exemplify, and consists of specially edited and annotated hybrid video pieces. I particularly recommend to you the editors' insightful and elegantly argued introduction, Posthumanities: The Dark Side of "The Dark Side of the Digital".

Of particular relevance to design is digital scholarship, which has been defined as "the use of digital evidence and method, digital authoring, digital publishing, digital curation and preservation, and digital use and reuse of scholarship" (Rumsey, 2011). Each of these activities involves design to some degree. Further, many of the concerns of the field of design are interdisciplinary, and converge with those in the humanities and STEM fields, in theory and practice. All three fields are engaged with critical forms of making to facilitate understanding, explore emerging technologies, and communicate information visually. While all of this bodes well for designers and design educators, we still face challenges regarding how to form, structure and maintain collaborations. Converge: Disciplinarities and Digital Scholarship encourages design educators, design researchers, and designers to take advantage of opportunities in digital scholarship, learn how to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects, and find new intersections within their existing research trajectories. This will help us to work together to redefine what it means to be a designer and a design researcher today. We seek a variety of proposals related to the intersection of design and digital scholarship. How can design converge with digital scholarship in more than a superficial way? How might aspects of digital scholarship impact design research? What are the key questions at the intersection of design and the humanities? Other possible topics: * the role of design in generating new knowledge * design and new forms of scholarly communication * speculative design and humanistic inquiry * designing tools for thinking * case studies of successful (or unsuccessful!) collaborations * design and visualization * the intersection of critical making and design Download full CFP at http://converge.aiga.org http://converge.aiga.org/ ...

I'm just just sending out a CFP that I hope will be of interest to subscribers, below. I'm also sending, attached, a pdf in case you would like to circulate it amongst colleagues or students. The Archive Unbound A ONE-DAY SYMPOSIUM CARDIFF UNIVERSITY Friday, 3 February 2016 Keynote Speaker: TBC Cardiff University's Digital Cultures Network is delighted to announce its second Symposium called The Digital Archive Unbound. The creation of digital archives is about more than just the translation of the physical into the digital. Such processes are not neutral or apolitical, often involving difficult discussions about selection, metadata, representation, access and sustainability. Decisions about how to focus archival efforts become ever more intense as the 'archival turn' and 'archive fever' gain pace, and given associated concerns about how to archive diverse and disparate born-digital (including social media) content. We invite proposals of up to 300 words for 20-minute papers that explore any aspect of the curation, build, (re)mediation and creative re-use of archives, including demonstrations of current projects. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 20th January 2017. Please send proposals or enquiries to Michael Goodman (GoodmanMJ@cardiff.ac.uk). Attendance at the Symposium is free and limited to no more than 30 delegates. While non-speaking delegates are welcome, priority will be given to speakers. Formed in December 2015, and funded by Cardiff University's College of Arts, Humanities and Social Science, the Cardiff Digital Cultures Network is an interdisciplinary grouping that aims to bring together researchers, creative practitioners and library/museum professionals involved with digital work to share expertise and best practice. As part of our programme of activities, we are hosting four Symposia on various aspects of digital culture, focusing on: Word, Image, Digital (November 2016); The Archive Unbound (February 2017); Remediation and Adaptation (March 2017); and Big Data (May 2017).

Applicants will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2017. INSTITUTE DATES: July 10-29, 2017 Synopsis The University of Pittsburgh is pleased to invite applications to an NEH Advanced Institute in the Digital Humanities for summer 2017 entitled _Make YOUR edition: models and methods of digital textual scholarship_. The target audience for this workshop is digital textual scholars who are already comfortable editing their texts (in TEI XML or comparable alternatives); the goal of the Institute is to assist them in moving beyond textual editing to imagining, creating, and publishing research-driven, theoretically and methodologically innovative digital editions. Rationale Digital humanists already have access to workshops and tutorials to help them learn to transcribe, edit, and tag a text in preparation for publishing a digital edition. These training resources play a vital role in empowering editors to formalize and instantiate their interpretations as markup, so as to make them available for subsequent analysis. Nonetheless, sophisticated markup expertise alone is not enough to make an edition, and learning nothing more than tagging may leave scholars staring at their angle brackets and wondering what to do next. For some a solution like TEI Tapas provides an adequate next step, but for those who wish to ask new types of questions of their documents, and to produce new types of editions that enable new types of research, an understanding of how to turn a set of tagged texts into a customized edition that meets individualized research goals is crucial. Digital humanists cannot build editions that break new methodological ground solely on the basis of solutions prepared largely by others, and the focus of this Institute is on the creation of digital editions motivated by project-specific research questions and implemented from a perspective driven first by theory of edition, second by editorial methodology, and necessarily but less importantly by specific toolkits. In this respect we foreground not learning a particular programming language or technology or framework, but learning to think and act digitally about the process of creating a digital edition. Because tools and technologies come and go, the Institute emphasizes learning to translate original digital thinking about editions into implementations of those editions, rather than on “tooling up” in the context of currently popular frameworks. In this respect, the Institute recognizes thinking digitally in ways driven by project-specific research goals as the most important feature of _sustainable Digital Humanities training and education_. Program The Institute will introduce textual and manuscript scholars to a powerful and broad-reaching skill set of digital methods and technologies, grounded in a context that prioritizes a research-driven theory of edition. The course moves in a three-week succession from novice to experienced level, and from base textual data to full digital publication of scholarly editions. The Institute assumes that participants will have meaningful prior experience in digital editing (in TEI XML or a comparable framework), but it makes no other assumptions about prior knowledge or skills. - An optional first-week _boot camp_ establishes basic infrastructure skills (operating comfortably at the command line, handling files, navigating file systems, sharing resources and code responsibly, running Python programs from the command line, etc.). - The second week allows participants to practice and advance their basic skills when they start combining digital textual scholarship theory (e.g., McGann 2004[1], Andrews 2012[2], Siemens 2012[3], Robinson 2013[4], Haentjens et al. 2015[5]) with standard (e.g., XML, Python, Jupyter Notebooks) and advanced digital technologies (e.g., StemmaWeb, CollateX, Neo4j, Tinkerpop, eXist-db). - By the end of the third week, participants will be able to conceptualize from theory a perspective on digital textual scholarship and digital scholarly editions. They will also know how to go about planning and implementing such an edition by engaging programmatically and algorithmically with digital data, handling it computationally, and querying, analyzing, and transforming it into visualizations that transcend the digital translation of a text as a codex. The Institute will meet at the main (Oakland) campus of the University of Pittsburgh from Monday, July 10, 2017 through Friday, July 28, 2017 and will draw on an international faculty of distinguished scholars, practitioners, and teachers of digital philology from several collaborating institutions. On Saturday, July 29, 2017 there will be an optional pedagogical review of the Institute, designed to assist participants in organizing and conducting their own workshops at their home institutions. Instructors - Tara Andrews (Institute of History, University of Vienna) - David J. Birnbaum (Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures, University of Pittsburgh) - Hugh Cayless (Duke Collaboratory for Classics Computing [DC3], Duke University) - Ronald Haentjens Dekker (Huygens Institute, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) - Na-Rae Han (Department of Linguistics, University of Pittsburgh) - Mike Kestemont (Department of Literature, University of Antwerp) - Leif-Jöran Olsson (Department of Swedish Language, University of Gothenburg) The instructors will be assisted by Gabrielle (Gabi) Keane (Senior Undergraduate Institute Assistant, University of Pittsburgh). Details Applications are invited for the full three-week Institute or, in the case of those who are already comfortable with the types of first-week topics described above, for just the second and third weeks. Applicants should already be proficient with digital textual editing in TEI XML or similar technologies, and should be seeking guidance and training in how to move their texts into innovative digital editions that will enable them to explore project-specific research questions. Evidence of meaningful prior hands-on digital textual editing experience is required, but prior experience in programming for textual exploration and publication is not. Applicants who do not have prior experience with the Python programming language must agree to complete a recommended free online introductory Python course before the beginning of the Institute, for which the Institute will maintain its own support and discussion board. For budgetary reasons, preference will be given to applications from within North America. Participants accepted to the Institute will receive a travel allowance, complimentary accommodation in single-occupancy dormitory rooms, and a complimentary meal plan in the University Dining Services in lieu of per diem. Access to the University libraries, computer labs, and networked digital resources will also be provided. Participants must bring their own laptops (Windows 7–10, Mac OS, or Ubuntu/Debian Linux). We welcome scholars at all career levels from advanced graduate students through senior faculty. Applications to the Institute should include the following: - A one- to two-page statement about how participation in the Institute will enhance the scholarly and professional goals of the applicant. This statement should describe the digital edition project that the applicant plans to pursue or undertake, with special attention to the research questions motivating the creation of that edition. Preference will be shown to applications that articulate a clear understanding of the textual research potential of digital scholarly editions. - A one-page description of the applicant’s experience with textual editing. Prior experience in programming for text processing is neither required nor expected, but those who have such experience should describe it here. - Brief CV (maximum of two pages), concentrating on textual editing and Digital Humanities experience. - Indicate whether you are applying for the full three weeks or only for the second and third, and in the latter case please describe your background in the areas related to those described above as part of the “boot camp” week. - Indicate whether you wish to participate in the optional one-day pedagogical review of the course on Saturday, July 29. - Participants are required to participate full-time in the Institute for the two or three weeks that they are in residence, and must confirm that they will not undertake other significant commitments during the Institute period. All application materials should be submitted by email as a single PDF file to djbpitt+neh@pitt.edu. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, February 28, 2017, and applicants will be notified by March 15, 2017. Questions may be directed to djbpitt+neh@pitt.edu. David J.

An international, community-led organization with over 25 member institutions, the BCC promotes and supports the BitCurator environment, an open source environment of digital forensics tools for use in libraries, archives, museums, and other educational applications. Over the last decade, cultural heritage institutions have applied techniques and software developed for criminal investigation and prosecution to their own work. These applications have repurposed automated processes in unintended ways, leading to new ways of engaging with digital materials. We want to hear your experiences and visions of how digital forensics affects your work. Please note that there are no restrictions on proposal submissions for the BitCurator User Forum. You don't need to be a BCC member to submit a proposal and/or attend the event. We invite proposals for the following session formats: * Presentations * Panels * Lightning Talks * Birds-of-a-Feather discussions * Day-long sessions that address real world problems or needs to make progress against Other session formats are welcome, especially sessions that incorporate interactivity and audience participation. We invite presentations that address any topic related to digital forensics. Topics of particular interest include: * ethical concerns: how might donor relations and/or institutional risk tolerance affect forensic analysis * records management: how can forensic analysis support records management activities * donor and curatorial relations: challenges and opportunities when working with donors and/or curators * process automation: use of scripting and related methods to support efficiency * data management: intersections between research data and forensic analysis * digital humanities: support for digital humanities work * practical uses outside of archival workflows: researcher use, data mining, related special projects Submission Information Presentations 1 - 2 presenters, 45 - 60 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. This format is intended for one or two speakers presenting a single perspective, piece of research, or practical investigation. We encourage presentations to move beyond the case study and address pressing issues, best practices, opportunities for collaboration, visions, and expanded uses for digital forensics in libraries, archives, and museums. Panels 3 - 5 presenters, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract. If submitting as an solo speaker, individual panelists may be matched by the BCC Program Committee based on complementarity of subjects or overarching themes. We encourage panels to represent a range of professional backgrounds and experience. Proposals that include diverse perspectives (i.e., faculty, students, community members, archivists, and/or multiple institutions) are strongly encouraged. Alternative panel formats (pecha kucha, lightning talks followed by small group discussions, or others) that will facilitate dialogue and enlarge participation are also invited. Birds-of-a-Feather Discussions 1 - 2 leaders, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are networking opportunities in which presenters will lead an informal discussion about a chosen topic for fellow practitioners. Birds-of-a-Feather discussions may be scheduled during lunch or as a concurrent session. Lightning Talks 1 presenter, 5-12 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Lightning talks are a great format for case studies, digital forensics "success stories" or "tragic tales," and research updates. Real world issues We welcome the submission of issues you're experiencing in your regular work with respect to digital forensics tools, whether it be desired functionality, automation that may not yet exist, or other workflow breakdowns. Filling out this form will help us create a longform, hands-on session that will tackle one or more identified needs. Review The BCC Program Committee will review and accept abstracts based on their relevance to the conference theme and audience; the clarity of description; and their potential for inspiring discussion, collaboration, and innovation. Deadlines Submission Deadline: January 15, 2017 Acceptance Notification: February 15, 2017 How to Submit Submit proposals here. Eligibility & Requirements We welcome proposals from archivists, librarians, digital forensics software and systems providers (vendors), scholars, students, and other individuals working with digital forensics on a regular basis, at both BCC member institutions and non-member institutions, large and small. Presenters must register for and attend the conference. Presenters must also sign and submit a speaker agreement granting permission to the BCC to distribute their slides online with a CC-BY license. Some sessions will be recorded and distributed online, with permission from the presenters. These presenters will also be asked to sign and submit an agreement granting permission to the BCC to record presentations and distribute recordings online with a CC-BY license. Exceptions to the CC-BY license will be considered on a case-by-case basis. BitCurator Consortium The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) is an independent, community-led membership association that serves as the host and center of administrative, user and community support for the BitCurator environment. Its purpose is to support the curation of born-digital materials through the application of open-source digital forensics tools by institutions responsible for such materials.

Thanks to everyone who had already submitted; I look forward to hearing from others soon -- Marion Call for Papers (Digital Humanities Quarterly) Distracted Reading: Acts of Attention in the Age of the Internet Central to the humanities is the theorisation and practice of modes of attention (to cultural artifacts and to other aspects of the world). Indeed, within our teaching spaces many of us devote much time to finding ways to redirect our students’ attention away from the distractions of their multiple electronic gadgets. But what if we consider how their distributed focus might enable new acts of attention and new ways of reading? How might we rethink pedagogy and our own research methods in an era of hyper-connectivity? There is nothing new about distraction, but such questions have a particular relevance in light of recent models, such as those of the distributed cognition theorists, that describe our electronic devices as potential cognitive extensions of ourselves: what we think of as mind can be dispersed across objects external to our bodies. If this is the case, how might we think about the new potential these devices offer and the new methods they enable within humanities’ disciplines? We invite submissions for a special issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly (DHQ) on this topic. ‘Reading’ should be taken to represent any act of critical engagement with works in any medium (text, visual art, film, or music, for example). Of particular interest are papers that connect research and pedagogy. Topics are certainly not limited to the following, but might include: -- the use of different digital tools simultaneously within a group of students or scholars to draw out and represent different aspects of one work (whether, for example, a painting, film, text or a piece of music) for analytic purposes -- the use of social networking tools to shape new acts of attention to our objects of study; -- the use of annotation software with groups of students, and the new research methods this might inspire (or vice versa) -- the use of spatial and distributed modalities to better comprehend or represent what are usually thought of as linear modes of reasoning (critical, philosophical, historical, or others); for example, the possibilities packages such as prezi offer for representing spatial relationships between concepts or ideas. Deadline for abstracts: January 31st 2017 400 words; submitted as a Word doc. attachment. Send to marion.thain@nyu.edu. Deadline for full papers: July 31st 2017 Word limit: 7,000 words Style: inline author-date references, with a full list of works cited at the end (footnotes used only for digressions and explanations) Send to marion.thain@nyu.edu.

In order to understand backgrounds and our collective experience with 3D data, we would like you to complete this brief survey to gauge your experience working with 3D research data and your interest in collaboratively creating standards or best practices. You will find the survey here . If you can, please complete this survey by Thursday, January 19th. To put this in context, 3D digitization and born digital 3D data is rapidly growing area of interest and need for researchers, who use it not only as a means of preserving physical objects or sites, but also as an innovative way to interrogate physical data. Although there is fervor for 3D application, there is little guidance for the ways and means of preserving those digital objects in perpetuity. Your participation in the survey will help us understand where we are and how we might move forward in this regard. We appreciate your participation in this survey and hope it will lead to further dialogue.

Potential applicants to the NHPRC’s Publishing Historical Records in Documentary Editions program are invited to attend an upcoming webinar on the program and application process. Webinar date/time and instructions appear at the end of this message. The webinar is intended for applicants preparing for the upcoming June 14, 2017 and October 5, 2017 deadlines. The NHPRC seeks proposals to publish documentary editions of historical records. Projects may focus on the papers of major figures from American history or cover broad historical movements in politics, military, business, social reform, the arts, and other aspects of the national experience. The historical value of the records and their expected usefulness to broad audiences must justify the costs of the project. The goal of this program is to provide access to, and editorial context for, the historical documents and records that tell the American story. The NHPRC encourages projects, whenever possible and appropriate, to provide access to these materials in a free and open online environment, without precluding other forms of publication. Applicants should demonstrate familiarity with the best practices recommended by the Association for Documentary Editing or the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions . Grants are awarded for collecting, describing, preserving, compiling, transcribing, annotating, editing, encoding, and publishing documentary source materials online and in print. Because of the focus on documentary sources, grants do not support preparation of critical editions of published works unless such works are just a small portion of the larger project. The Commission expects to make up to 25 grants in this category for a total of up to $2,500,000. Grants begin no earlier than January 1, 2018.

We seek excellent research-oriented candidates to participate in SLIS’s ALA-accredited Master’s program and in at least one of the campus initiatives described below.The position will involve 40% instruction (four courses per year), 40% research and 20% service responsibilities, the norm for the program. SLIS has a strong history of interdisciplinary projects and partnerships, including the Virtual Writing University, the UI Center for the Book, the Project on the Rhetoric of Inquiry, the Iowa Graduate Program in Informatics, the Institute for Clinical and Translational Science and most recently, the Public Humanities in a Digital World cluster. Virtually all faculty in SLIS have collaborative relationships with other units on campus, with such collaboration actively encouraged by both SLIS and College leadership. SLIS was one of the three primary founding departments for the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Informatics. In addition to the MA in Library and Information Science, the School collaborates with other academic units in offering a certificate, masters and PhD in Informatics, joint degree programs with the College of Law and the Center for the Book, and certificates in Book Studies and in Public Digital Humanities. Additionally, SLIS students may advance their studies through an interdisciplinary doctoral program hosted by the Graduate College. Successful candidates must have a Ph.D. in Library and Information Science or a related discipline. We seek candidates with experience and interest in one or more of the following areas. First we seek candidates in the digital humanities defined broadly. Strong candidates will have experience working with digital humanities projects and will have some aspect of the digital humanities as a primary research focus. We are particularly interested in applicants with expertise in teaching technology to students from humanities disciplines and with the ability to translate technical concepts into humanistic contexts. Areas of interest include database design, metadata and organization, and visual design of digital environments. Additionally, we seek candidates who have a research focus in the area of literacies, including academic, information and digital literacies. Expertise in scholarly domains and communication are of particular interest here. We also seek candidates who have a research focus in some combination of: information/knowledge extraction and transformation, knowledge representation and ontologies, exploratory analysis of complex knowledge spaces, data curation and provenance, and/or Semantic Web technologies. In an era of ‘big data’ hype, the transformation of raw data into actionable information is one of the most daunting challenges facing the emerging field of informatics. The transformation of information into inference-supporting knowledge holds equally challenging prospects for the future. A successful candidate will have a demonstrated ability to work on data- and/or computationally-intensive problems in a highly collaborative interdisciplinary environment. Successful candidates must demonstrate scholarly research and publication appropriate for appointed rank, and be able to teach courses in the Masters’ degree program.

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. 2017 Focus, and Call for Proposals: For our 2017 mini-conference and meeting, we invite proposals for lightning talks and points of discussion from all those involved in DH training on all topics relating to DH training. We welcome proposals with a focus on ● ways in which individual universities, colleges, and other educational institutions are extending DH in the classroom. ● implementing DH pedagogical frameworks locally and working across institutions and training institutes to develop and collaborate on materials that can inform ways in which DH offerings and programs are formalized. ● assessment techniques in DH curriculum. What types of assessment should occur in digital humanities courses? And, significantly, how might these assessment practices challenge existing university or community-based outcomes? We particularly desire talks that include involvement of students who have been assessed. ● discussion of pedagogical materials, pre-circulated for critique and consideration. We are particularly interested in the submission of specific syllabi, tutorials, exercises, learning outcomes, assessment and rubrics that attendees might complete during the workgroup portion of the mini-conference. ● any topics that might further inform our discussion about DH training. Please send proposals of 1-2 pages with the subject heading “DH Pedagogy” to Ray Siemens, siemens@uvic.ca, by 15 February 2017. Please note that all participants and attendees will need to be registered for DH2017. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2017 05:30:47 +0100 From: Kai Jakobs Subject: CfP: 22nd Annual EURAS Conference on Standardisation SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS ====================== 22nd EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference - Digitalisation: Challenge and Opportunity for Standardisation - 28 - 30 June 2017 Berlin, Germany Organised by The European Academy for Standardisation (EURAS) TU Berlin & Fraunhofer FOKUS Hosted by DIN e.V. The progressing digitalisation will have disruptive impacts on both the economy and society - speed and complexity of technological change will increase dramatically. These developments will challenge existing institutional frameworks including regulations and standardisation, which will have to be continuously adapted. Moreover, digitalisation drives the convergence of different technologies and even sectors and thus increases the need for new interfaces at various levels. As a result, more standards will be needed, especially at the international level. In addition, the increasing relevance of data protection and security will require an even better co-ordination between standardisation and regulation, which also faces problems of transnational harmonisation. In summary, these challenges driven by digitalisation require comprehensive analyses to adequately inform stakeholders active in standardisation, including standards setting organisations. EURAS 2017 solicits papers on the above theme. However, papers on other standardisation topics will also be considered. Sample topics include: * Standard Reference Architectures * Standards for Systems Engineering * Standards for Converging Technologies * Standardisation Roadmaps * Standardisation and Open Source * Standardisation as a policy tool * Standards as barriers to trade?! * National or international policy and standardisation * Standardisation and Europe's research and innovation agenda * Relation between standardisation and legislation * Standards as a driver for innovation * Standardisation and quality infrastructure * Standardisation and IPR * Standards and knowledge transfer * The impacts of standards and standardisation * Quality of standards * Role of industry and their associations in standardisation * Standardisation via industry consortia * History of standardisation * Standardisation processes Full papers (up to 30 double spaced pages; rtf. .doc or .docx format) should be submitted to Kai Jakobs at Kai.Jakobs@cs.rwth-aachen.de. All papers will be double blind reviewed by members of the Programme Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as part of the 'EURAS Contributions to Standardisation Research' book series. Particularly good papers will be fast-tracked to the Int. Journal of Standardization Research.

These changes call for novel analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the 2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g., documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science, art, and the humanities. This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a practitioners’ day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of posters and demos. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities, librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate. TOPICS JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development, hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design; scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics in digital libraries. SUBMISSIONS Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community’s attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference. All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers]. All accepted papers will be published by the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. ------------ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE [...] -- Ian Milligan Assistant Professor Department of History University of Waterloo 200 University Ave W.

To show applicability, toy examples or tiny case studies are typically presented in research papers. Since the theory needs to be developed first, this approach is reasonable. However, to show that a developed approach actually scales to real systems, large case studies are essential. The development of formal models of real systems usually requires a perfect understanding of informal descriptions of the system - sometimes found in RFCs or other standard documents - which are usually just written in English. Based on the type of system, an adequate specification formalism needs to be chosen, and the informal specification translated into it. Examples for such formalisms include process and program algebra, Petri nets, variations of automata, as well as timed, stochastic and probabilistic extensions of these formalisms. Abstraction from unimportant details then yields an accurate, formal model of the real system. The process of developing a detailed and accurate model usually takes a large amount of time, often months or years; without even starting a formal analysis. When publishing the results on a formal analysis in a scientific paper, details of the model have to be skipped due to lack of space, and often the lessons learnt from modelling are not discussed since they are not the main focus of the paper. The workshop aims at discussing exactly these unmentioned lessons. Examples are: * Which formalism is chosen, and why? * Which abstractions have to be made and why? * How are important characteristics of the system modelled? * Were there any complications while modelling the system? * Which measures were taken to guarantee the accuracy of the model? The workshop emphasises modelling over verification. In particular, we invite papers that present full Models of Real Systems, which may lay the basis for future formal analysis. The workshop will bring together researchers from different communities that all aim at verifying real systems and are developing formal models for such systems. Areas where large models often occur are within networks, (trustworthy) systems and software verification (from byte code up to programming- and specification languages). An aim of the workshop is to present different modelling approaches and discuss pros and cons for each of them. SUBMISSION: Submissions must be unpublished and not be submitted for publication elsewhere. Contributions are limited to 12 pages EPTCS style (not counting the appendices), but shorter extended abstracts are welcome. Appendices (of arbitrary length) can be used to present all details of a formalised model; the appendices will be part of the proceedings. In case a formal model is presented that is modelled in some formalism or tool, such as timed automata for Uppaal or formal proofs for Isabelle/HOL, these models have to be submitted as well. They will be published as part of the proceedings, and will be made available in our Repository of Models for Formal Analysis of Real Systems. Submissions must be in English and submitted in PDF format via EasyChair (http://www.mars-workshop.org/mars2017/index.html#submission). All submissions will be peer reviewed by at least three referees based on their novelty, relevance and technical merit. The proceedings (including the electronic models) will be published as part of the open access series Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science (EPTCS).

We’re continuing the datathon program in 2017, and are excited to bring this program to the Internet Archive. The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. Our series of datathons presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This event will bring together a small group of 20-30 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to web archives, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language (such as but not limited to Python) is strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to continue to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. ***Please also save the date! Archives Unleashed 4.0 will be held at the British Library in London, UK, June 11 - 13. Check back here at http://archivesunleashed.com/au4-0-british-invasion/ for more details *** Thanks to the generous support of the National Science Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the University of Waterloo’s Department of History, the David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science and the University of Waterloo, and the School of Communication and Information at Rutgers University, we will cover lunches and refreshments for attendees. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the datathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: * the .gov web archive covering the American government domain * the End of Term Web Archives (.gov/.mil), from 2008, 2012, and 2016 * social media collectios from the 2016 archive * Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups collection * and other datasets to be announced We will also have datasets from the Internet Archive's recent event available, some noted above and the rest available at http://blog.archive.org/2017/01/02/join-us-for-a-white- house-social-media-and-gov-data-hackathon/. Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Matthew Weber (matthew.weber@rutgers.edu) by 20 January 2017 with “Archives Unleashed” in the subject line. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the datathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by 25 January 2017. We expect to be able to issue a limited number of travel grants available for US-based graduate students; preference will be given to those who have not participated in the Archives Unleashed program in the past, although we welcome returning participants. These grants can cover up to $750 in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant.

In fact, the 8th edition will take place in Leipzig from the 18^th to 28^th July 2017. The Leipzig Summer University is special because it not only 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 etc., but because it tries to integrate also linguistics with 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. It is special furthermore because it consciously 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, Europe and many parts of the world, by relying 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. The Summer University takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, teaser sessions, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. Each workshop consists of a total of 18 sessions or 36 week-hours. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. Also this year the German Accademic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers very generous support to up to 17 alumni / alumnae of German universities. For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities 'Culture & Technology': http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available.

I'm looking for examples of software (in any discipline) designed to incorporate what is more or less securely known about something so that the person using it can speculate about what might be or might have been. It results in a fiction, but what it does -- its method -- is not fictional, because that is grounded in what is known. I'm calling this kind 'divergent' because it results in one or more possibilities rather than converges on or tends to the truth about the subject under investigation. Perhaps a convincing case can then be made for one or more of these possibilities, but the intention is to generate further questions, not arrive at a proof of anything. Any suggestions will be most welcome.

The technology that most comes to mind are the sort of “war game” planning tools used by military planners to take known capacities and force levels and project “what if” outcomes – sometimes with human agents responding, sometimes with simulated agents. Economists use simulations for similar purposes, to project what would happen as a result of different policies or market conditions, but always starting from known demographic and economic facts. And I guess the climate models that are used to predict different global climate change outcomes are an example of this, also. Any forecasting model has the property that part of the input is what is known, part of the input is a set of assumptions that the planner wants to make about the future, and the output is a simulated version of future reality that lets the planner see the consequences of those assumptions, which may of course be quite divergent from each other. ——————————————————————————————— Robin Burke, Professor School of Computing, DePaul University rburke@cs.depaul.edu _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.4 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED,URIBL_RHS_DOB autolearn=no version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 999318828; Tue, 17 Jan 2017 07:36:04 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CD0D98829; Tue, 17 Jan 2017 07:36:03 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D21CC8823; Tue, 17 Jan 2017 07:36:01 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170117063601.D21CC8823@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 07:36:01 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.649 events: languages; Maphackathon; tools; DH in New York City X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20170117063604.5018.62405@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 649.

The Quayside room is in the converted No. 1 warehouse of the museum. Built in 1802 as a sugar and rum warehouse, there are views from the Quayside room of the Canary Wharf skyline, together with the West India import quay and dock. The museum's galleries and map collection will afford an excellent source of inspiration to hackers. Providing we can secure a sponsor for a Saturday evening reception, there will be a reception on Saturday, February 11th (6.30 pm to 8.30 pm), with drinks in a gallery adjacent to the Quayside room, a keynote speech and a panel discussion of the three themes of the maphackathon (1) Modelling & mapping the built environment of the Early Modern Thames shoreline (2) Modelling & mapping the Early Modern Thames soundscape (3) Modelling & mapping the Early Modern Thames smellscape. Our goal is to build a river-centric analysis of commercial life in C17th and early C18th London and surronds. We will be creating maps, map layers, visualisations, soundscapes and smellscapes as tangible outputs. These will be placed into the Commons and will be published on the website we are creating for maphackathon output. Our event will bring together historians, archaeologists, architects and musicologists, coders, data scientists and GIS specialists. Data are being contributed by major London GLAM institutions and by the MarineLives project. The geographic boundaries of our hack are London Bridge to Woolwich - the River Thames itself, the tidal foreshore on the north & south banks, the built environment of the north & south shoreline, and the immediately adjacent parishes on the north & south banks. Participation in the Early Modern Thames Maphackathon will be by invitation. To get on our invitation list, please join our London Maphackathon Meetup Group, fill out a short profile and register your interest. We are particularly interested in hearing from geospatially oriented coders, data scientists and GIS-specialists, who would like to attend (QGIS, R, & assorted geospatial & data analytical tools most welcome).. The technical quality of people registering interest in participating is very high, and includes technically oriented people from both commerce and academia. You can see our member profiles here: https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-SwyKxWXR/members/ There is extremely strong interest in the February event and it is increasingly likely that we will not be able to accomodate all interested and well qualified potential participants at the event. We therefore encourage you to register on the London Maphackathon Meetup group as soon as possible. Moreover, the strength and quality of the membership of our group is a powerful signal to potential sponsors that the event is one they should consider supporting financially. MAPHACKATHON: LAUNCH EVENT & MINI-HACK We are also holding a Maphackathon: Launch Event & Mini-Hack on Wednesday, January 25th, 2017 in the Foyle Suite, Centre for Conservation, British Library, London (6 pm to 8 pm). At the launch event we will be presenting the goals and process of the February hack, announcing our data, technical and knowledge partners and our financial sponsors, and doing some fun stuff in a hands on mini-hack - Theme: How to model & map the smellscape of the Early Modern Thames. This event is organised by the Maphackathon co-producers and is being hosted and supported by British Library Labs.

As specific hotspots of medical pluralism come into sharper view, it raises the question of how the medico-religious market was structured and what changes emerged over time. I argue in this paper that by studying the ways different communities aggregated sets or repertoires of practices, we can better understand how these repertoires shaped identity, structured relations with other care providers, and served as sites for negotiating difference between the religious and the medical. Furthermore, this focus on repertoires affords more flexibility to explain how practices, materials and terminology circulated across supposedly distinct sectarian and epistemic domains such as Buddhism, Daoism and Confucianism. This analysis underlies a digital project at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science to data-mine early Buddhist, Daoist and medical literature for therapeutic practices, and to model their distribution within textual corpuses and across space and time. This year’s pilot project focusses on materia medica in textual corpora from ca. 300 BCE to 589 CE, but can be used to study any set of practices, materials or terms, and can be scaled to encompass much larger textual sets. Location: Wellcome Library, 183 Euston Road, London NW1 2BE. Doors at 6pm prompt, seminars will start at 6.15pm.

URL: http://ttg.uni-saarland.de/vardial2017/sharedtask2017.html We are offering four tasks this year: - (DSL) Discriminating between Similar Languages Fourth iteration of the DSL task featuring a multilingual dataset containing excerpts of journalistic texts. Languages included this year grouped by similarity are: Bosnian, Croatian, and Serbian, Malay and Indonesian, Persian and Dari, Canadian and Hexagonal French, Brazilian and European Portuguese, Argentine, Peninsular, and Peruvian Spanish. - (ADI) Arabic Dialect Identification Second iteration of the task included in the DSL 2016. This year we will be releasing acoustic data along with speech transcripts for the following Arabic dialects: Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, and North-African, and Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) - (GDI) German Dialect Identification In addition to Arabic dialects, we propose an analogous task on the identification of four Swiss German dialect areas: Basel, Bern, Lucerne, Zurich. We will provide manually annotated speech transcripts for all dialect areas. - (CLP) Cross-lingual Dependency Parsing The task is to develop models for parsing selected target languages without annotated training data in that language but annotated data in one or two closely related languages. We will include the following language pairs: Target language = Croatian, Source language = Slovenian Target language = Slovak, Source language = Czech Target language = Norwegian, Source languages = Danish and Swedish To participate and receive the training data please fill the registration form available at the workshop website. The test sets will be released on January 25, 2017.

My reason for coining a different word than the usual one, simulation, was to point to the trajectory of such software, diverging from what is to what might be. I'm familiar with much of the literature on such applications in war-gaming &c but am still looking for more, especially literature on the topic in the interpretative disciplines (including the history & philosophy of the sciences) that discusses the epistemological quandary this software leads to. For my purposes discussions that focus on establishing the facts, on proof -- the at-last-we-will-know kind -- are far less interesting than those which dwell on the as-if. Many thanks for further suggestions. Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 09:51:13 +0100 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: [Humanist] 30.647 divergent applications? In-Reply-To: <20170116064435.CF04B8670@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, You say: I'm looking for examples of software (in any discipline) designed to incorporate what is more or less securely known about something so that the person using it can speculate about what might be or might have been. It results in a fiction, but what it does -- its method -- is not fictional, because that is grounded in what is known. I'm calling this kind 'divergent' because it results in one or more possibilities rather than converges on or tends to the truth about the subject under investigation. Perhaps a convincing case can then be made for one or more of these possibilities, but the intention is to generate further questions, not arrive at a proof of anything. Any suggestions will be most welcome. What you describe reminds me very much of what we tried to do when building (what we called) AI-based Design Support Systems, back in the 1980s and early 90s, in the AI Department (as it then was), in Edinburgh. We tried to support designing as disciplined exploration and discovery. To do this we used (multiple) forward inference systems--organised in (what was called) a Blackboard Architecture--together with (what was called) a Truth Maintenance System to keep track of all the forward inference, so that the system could know what was inferred from what, and remove inferences if we (the designer) changed any of the "assumptions" made to establish a "place" to explore [infer] around. We also used a "views" system, essentially a Context Management System, to maintain and support different Truth Maintained versions of the ongoing explorations. So, going back to your words, the assumptions, and perhaps some inferences that could be made from these, would be your "ground" of what is known, and the different Truth Maintained Views expanded out by the workings of the different forward inference systems would be your different "speculations" about what might be, or, if the ground truth is an historial description--which it could be--speculations about what might have been. This is old work, and, needless to say, the software for our systems is long lost with the disused and dismantled Sun Workstation systems we used. It was also all built using Poplog, a multi-language AI programming environment we used extensively back in those days. Still, building similar systems using modern hardware and software development options would be quite possible, given some good software engineering skills and resources. I have paper copies of the five main papers that reported this work. I could provide first pages of these, so that you might see if any might be of interest, and then scanned full versions if any are. (If there's wider interest in these, I'll put them up on my Academia.edu page.) Best regards, Tim PS: I have long thought that something like our AI-based Design Support Systems could be used to support disciplined explorations of how things might have been, not just how things could be. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2017 12:26:25 +0100 From: Vera Moitinho Subject: Divergent applications In-Reply-To: <20170116064435.CF04B8670@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Robin, I suggest you to take a look at Agent Based Modelling (ABM). ABM allows you to simulate actions and interactions of autonomous agents (individual or collective entities, e.g., organizations or groups), in order to assess their effects on a natural or social system as a whole. NetLogo software is free, simple and user-friendly. It's being increasingly used in archaeology, sociology, etc. Anyway, you can find many other ABM software in http://www.agent-based-models.com/blog/resources/simulators/ I hope this helps!

Yet does artificial intelligence really pose a risk to society, especially when current technology is nowhere near those science fiction scenarios and when AI actually offers many opportunities, in areas ranging from transportation to medicine? We ask whether recent developments in AI technology raise fresh concerns, if these fears are justified, and how they might be addressed.

Among the earliest editions to enlist the systematic aid of the computer in the storage and collation processes, the 1984 *Ulysses* (rev. 1986) represents a pioneering effort in digital scholarly editing. Its aim was nothing less than the reconstruction of ‘Ulysses as Joyce wrote it’. Initially developed in tustep by the Munich team of Hans Walter Gabler with Wolfhard Steppe, Claus Melchior and others, successive migrations since the late 1990s have seen the edition’s diachronic information converted, in the first instance, to the tei P3 sgml standard and, since 2002, to the tei xml dtd (P4 and P5). My talk will report on ongoing efforts to migrate these legacy data to current encoding standards and to develop tools that leverage and visualize the diachronic information contained therein. Issues to be addressed include (a) the detection, measurement and reversal of so-called “migration loss”—degradation of genetic information over the course of several major conversions; (b) the commensurability of documentary editing with the inter-document alteration favored in Gabler’s synoptic presentation; and (c) the stakes of producing a tei P5 version of the Critical and Synoptic Edition with all the constraints imposed by a legacy version of tustep over now re-encoding the documents of Ulysses in composition and transmission. Ronan Crowley is FWO Pegasus Marie Curie Fellow at the Centre for Manuscript Genetics, University of Antwerp, in Belgium. He received his PhD in English from the University at Buffalo in 2014 for a dissertation on transatlantic copyright regimes, genetic criticism and Irish modernism. From 2014–2016 he was Alexander von Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Passau. He is the editor, with Dirk Van Hulle, of *New Quotatoes: Joycean Exogenesis in the Digital Age* (Brill Rodopi, 2016). Lunch will be served.

Call for Proposals BitCurator User Forum 2017 Digital Forensics: The academic library and beyond The previous deadline of January 15, 2017 has now been extended to January 27, 2017. We look forward to receiving your sure to be excellent proposal in the next couple of weeks. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the session formats. All best, BCC Program Committee Matthew Farrell Digital Records Archivist matthew.j.farrell@duke.edu Digital Forensics: The academic library and beyond The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) is accepting proposals for the 2017 BitCurator User Forum, to be held April 27 - 28 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. An international, community-led organization with over 25 member institutions, the BCC promotes and supports the BitCurator environment, an open source environment of digital forensics tools for use in libraries, archives, museums, and other educational applications. Over the last decade, cultural heritage institutions have applied techniques and software developed for criminal investigation and prosecution to their own work. These applications have repurposed automated processes in unintended ways, leading to new ways of engaging with digital materials. We want to hear your experiences and visions of how digital forensics affects your work. Please note that there are no restrictions on proposal submissions for the BitCurator User Forum. You don't need to be a BCC member to submit a proposal and/or attend the event. We invite proposals for the following session formats: * Presentations * Panels * Lightning Talks * Birds-of-a-Feather discussions * Day-long sessions that address real world problems or needs to make progress against Other session formats are welcome, especially sessions that incorporate interactivity and audience participation. We invite presentations that address any topic related to digital forensics. Topics of particular interest include: * ethical concerns: how might donor relations and/or institutional risk tolerance affect forensic analysis * records management: how can forensic analysis support records management activities * donor and curatorial relations: challenges and opportunities when working with donors and/or curators * process automation: use of scripting and related methods to support efficiency * data management: intersections between research data and forensic analysis * digital humanities: support for digital humanities work * practical uses outside of archival workflows: researcher use, data mining, related special projects Submission Information Presentations 1 - 2 presenters, 45 - 60 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. This format is intended for one or two speakers presenting a single perspective, piece of research, or practical investigation. We encourage presentations to move beyond the case study and address pressing issues, best practices, opportunities for collaboration, visions, and expanded uses for digital forensics in libraries, archives, and museums. Panels 3 - 5 presenters, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract. If submitting as an solo speaker, individual panelists may be matched by the BCC Program Committee based on complementarity of subjects or overarching themes. We encourage panels to represent a range of professional backgrounds and experience. Proposals that include diverse perspectives (i.e., faculty, students, community members, archivists, and/or multiple institutions) are strongly encouraged. Alternative panel formats (pecha kucha, lightning talks followed by small group discussions, or others) that will facilitate dialogue and enlarge participation are also invited. Birds-of-a-Feather Discussions 1 - 2 leaders, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Birds-of-a-Feather sessions are networking opportunities in which presenters will lead an informal discussion about a chosen topic for fellow practitioners. Birds-of-a-Feather discussions may be scheduled during lunch or as a concurrent session. Lightning Talks 1 presenter, 5-12 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Lightning talks are a great format for case studies, digital forensics "success stories" or "tragic tales," and research updates. Real world issues We welcome the submission of issues you're experiencing in your regular work with respect to digital forensics tools, whether it be desired functionality, automation that may not yet exist, or other workflow breakdowns. Filling out this form will help us create a longform, hands-on session that will tackle one or more identified needs. Review The BCC Program Committee will review and accept abstracts based on their relevance to the conference theme and audience; the clarity of description; and their potential for inspiring discussion, collaboration, and innovation. Deadlines Submission Deadline: January 27, 2017 Acceptance Notification: February 28, 2017 How to Submit Submit proposals here. Eligibility & Requirements We welcome proposals from archivists, librarians, digital forensics software and systems providers (vendors), scholars, students, and other individuals working with digital forensics on a regular basis, at both BCC member institutions and non-member institutions, large and small. Presenters must register for and attend the conference. Presenters must also sign and submit a speaker agreement granting permission to the BCC to distribute their slides online with a CC-BY license. Some sessions will be recorded and distributed online, with permission from the presenters. These presenters will also be asked to sign and submit an agreement granting permission to the BCC to record presentations and distribute recordings online with a CC-BY license.

The study undertook a detailed mapping of digital practices in arts and humanities scholarship, both emerging and established, in India. Beginning with an understanding of Digital Humanities as a 'found term' in the Indian context, the study explores discussions and debates about changes in humanities practice, scholarship and pedagogy that have come about with the digital turn. Further it inquires about the spaces and roles of digital technologies in the humanities, and by extension in the arts, media, and creative practice today; transformations in the objects and methods of study and practice in these spaces; and the shifts in the imagination of the ‘digital’ itself, and its linkages with humanities practices. This report comes out of an extended research project supported by the Kusuma Trust. Please see: http://cis-india.org/papers/mapping-digital-humanities-in-india CIS Papers The CIS Papers series publishes open access monographs and discussion pieces that critically contribute to the debates on digital technologies and society. It includes publication of new findings and observations, of work-in-progress, and of critical review of existing materials. These may be authored by researchers at or affiliated to CIS, by external researchers and practitioners, or by a group of discussants. CIS offers editorial support to the selected monographs and discussion pieces. The views expressed, however, are of the authors' alone.

Dear WM et al, I am also thinking about this topic, so shall watch this space with interest. I am not sure I can offer examples of software as products but maybe of environments? A couple of recent papers (see below) touch on the related issues and I would be most interested to hear feedback or see pointers to parallel work or to existing literature. The papers below also have some references that you might know or find useful. This is an article with some directions and examples, arguing for a more active and persistent role for simulations/models. https://www.academia.edu/26321020/Activist_Systems_Futuring_with_Living_Models These two papers think about the use of 'simulations' in collective imagination. https://www.academia.edu/28240989/Design_Tools_and_Complexity_Mobile_Games_and_Collective_Imagination https://www.academia.edu/30723994/Mobile_Gaming_for_Agonistic_Design This one attempts to look at models closely: https://www.academia.edu/8780337/Mesh_Agency And, finally, this one looks at the already-existing effects of coexisting with simulations/models: https://www.academia.edu/26069187/Field_Creativity_and_Post-Anthropocentrism Hope this is useful, best wishes, Stanislav --- Dr Stanislav Roudavski The University of Melbourne Senior Lecturer in Digital Architectural Design Elseware Collective; ExLab Founding Partner personal: stanislavroudavski.net collaborative: elsewarecollective.com, exlab.org publications: unimelb.academia.edu/StanislavRoudavski/Papers tutorials: vimeo.com/exlab --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Jan 2017 23:31:24 +0000 From: Bill Pascoe Subject: Divergent applications Hi Willard, My emails don't seem to get through to the Humanist discussion group any more, though they are always interesting to read. For what it's worth, here's a few points in reply to your email about epistemology in 'divergent applications' or simulations intend to explore multiple scenarios. I worked for the CSIRO on urban water planning software a few years back, which would use historic rainfall patterns and a wide range of other variables to plan for different scenarios to assist choosing different configurations of water tank size, etc for different suburbs. I guess this falls into the 'climate modelling' category. I thought I'd mention a few of the interesting points I noted somewhat related to epistemology: - Unexpected spikes in peak capacity, as well as typical scenarios are important where you need to plan for peak capacity. With complex multifactor scenarios there may be unforeseen amplifying resonances that are identified simply by running the computer over many variations but which you wouldn't have seen just by contemplation or by traditional mathematical methods. - Computer simulation is important for multifactor modelling where combinatorial complexity makes traditional methods infeasible or unreliable. This is addressed by a computer's ability to run multiple scenarios varying multiple factors, from which a large variety of outcomes can be recorded. Statistical methods then applied to the results. - Multi factor pareto fronts for finding optimal solutions were commonly used in urban water computer modelling. - Propagation of error is a big problem. In an iterative simulation, or in a complex multistep simulation there is a margin of error, or measure of reliability at each step. This might be overlooked by the software user or designer, but through each step the margin of error can multiply, making nonsense of the results. - Perhaps the most interesting problem of all was because we aim to increase accuracy of our predictions and plan and build infrastructure based on those best estimates, we loose the buffer and security of the excess capacity that existed from inaccuracy of older models and consequently run into problems with unexpected and anomalous events.

Machine learning is at the core of many applications that have become part of daily life, from voice recognition to image perception. These technologies, which a few years ago were performing at noticeably below-human levels, can now outperform people at some tasks. As the field continues to evolve, machine learning has the potential to play a transformative role across a diverse range of sectors including transportation, medicine, public services, and finance. This forum will bring together scientists from the UK and the US to explore potential applications for machine learning and discuss the legal and ethical challenges that could arise as machine learning algorithms are implemented.

The workshop will be taught by Gabriel Bodard and Lucia Vannini (ICS) and Simona Stoyanova (KCL). There will be no charge for the workshop, but participants should arrange their own travel and accommodation. EpiDoc (epidoc.sf.net http://epidoc.sf.net/ ) is a community of practice and guidance for using TEI XML for the encoding of inscriptions, papyri and other ancient texts. It has been used to publish digital projects including Inscriptions of Aphrodisias and Tripolitania, Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri, Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri, and EAGLE Europeana Project. The workshop will introduce participants to the basics of XML markup and give hands-on experience of tagging textual features and object descriptions, identifying and linking to external person and place authorities, and use of the online Papyrological Editor tool. The workshop will assume knowledge of papyrology or epigraphy; Greek, Latin or another ancient language; and the Leiden Conventions. No technical skills are required, and scholars of all levels, from students to professors, are welcome. To apply, please email gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk with a brief description of your background and reason for application, by February 28, 2017.

Given the problems in so many fields with the avalanche of crank journals and predatory publishers, I understand his decision, but I lament it. For every research field — including our own — it is time to discuss the ways that people can determine on their own whether a journal is predatory or a conference is bogus. Open access publishing by serious publishers under the same conditions as paywall publishing offers a useful approach for some journals, but the flood of problem journals and predatory publishers is causing untold damage and destruction. Many of us have used Beall’s list every day. We sent students and colleagues to the list for up-to-date advice. This leaves a massive gap in the field, and Beall's work will be irreplaceable. I cannot imagine anyone with the capacity to replace Beall’s list — and I cannot imagine, given the repeated attacks on his good name and his character, that anyone will dare to step up. Since reading this news, I have been sitting here, stunned. I feel the way I felt when the Taliban blew up the great Buddhist monuments. A global mob of barbarians and pirates found a way to use the university system to open a cash flow spigot, turning earnest young researchers into suckers, and flooding the world with garbage publications. Beall created a solution, at least for those who did not wish to benefit from the corrupt predatory system. Over the past three or four years, the number of enterprises in this corrupt business has quadrupled. To me, this was a monumental effort. In the history of mankind, it may not be remembered in the same way that we remember destroyed monuments and looted archeological treasures. But for those concerned with the integrity of research publishing, Beall’s List was a high point at a low moment in history. Jeffrey Beall has many friends and admirers around the world.

The deadline for applications for the PhD position as well as the Postdoc is 13 February 2017, http://bit.ly/dmi_job1 and http://bit.ly/dmi_job2. Best regards Richard Rogers PhD position in Digital Methods Faculty of Humanities – Department of Media Studies Publication date 18 January 2017 Level of education Master's degree Salary indication €2,191 to €2,801 gross per month Closing date 13 February 2017 Hours 38 hours per week Vacancy number 17-021 Media Studies http://www.mediastudies.nl/ is seeking a PhD candidate in digital methods. The PhD candidate would collaborate with the Digital Methods Initiative (DMI) http://www.digitalmethods.net/ , an internationally prominent group of scholars working on research approaches to the study of natively digital objects and devices. The PhD candidate would work closely with the director of DMI (Prof. Richard Rogers) as well as a Postdoc (to be appointed) on a European project concerned with Opinion Dynamics and Cultural Conflict in European Space. The project fits with the overall concerns of digital methods in developing techniques to study the circulation of substance and urgency in social media across multiple European and transnational issue spaces such as migration, right-wing populism and climate change. The PhD candidates would be affiliated with the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) http://asca.uva.nl/ , one of the six research schools of the Amsterdam Institute for Humanities Research (AIHR).

Project description The PhD candidate would be appointed to work with the Digital Methods Initiative on the European Project, Opinion Dynamics and Cultural Conflict in European Space. Social media, online news and the comment space are having far-reaching effects on the manner in which individuals and communities communicate, organize and express themselves. Can the information circulating on these platforms be tapped to better understand and analyze the enormous problems facing our contemporary society? Could this help us to better monitor the growing number of social crises due to differences in culture and diverging world-views? Would this allow an early detection and perhaps even ways to resolve conflicts before they lead to violence? These are the main questions of the European Project, Opinion Dynamics and Cultural Conflict in European Space (ODYCCEUS).

The hired candidate will work with Assistant Professor Megan Finn at the Information School, University of Washington in collaboration with Associate Professor Katie Shilton at the College of Information Studies, University of Maryland, College Park. The postdoc is a full-time position available for at least one year, with the possibility of extension. Salary and benefits are competitive. We will review applicants starting April 1, 2017. Requirements: * PhD awarded by anticipated start date (September 2017) in fields such as information studies, communication, history, anthropology, STS, media studies, geography or related disciplines. * Commitment to collaborating on research and publications. * Excitement about working on a multidisciplinary team. * Outstanding qualitative (e.g. ethnographic, interview, oral history, or archival) research skills. * Strong publication record. * Familiarity with the historical or cultural dimensions of computer security research. Preferences: * Experience conducting interviews or oral history a plus. * Familiarity with sociotechnical theory and perspectives beneficial. The postdoc will collaborate on an NSF-funded project examining the history and culture of computer security research ethics. Computer security researchers prevent, discover, and fix flaws in devices and cyberinfrastructures, impacting national security, business practices, information privacy, and personal safety. However, these researchers must navigate ethical dilemmas about how to use big data and shared networked resources to discover vulnerabilities; how to safely expose these problems; and how to best ensure that critical vulnerabilities are fixed. This project seeks to understand how the computer security community formed a culture of attention to ethics; how ethics expectations are communicated among researchers; what sociotechnical factors support and challenge sustaining ethical practices; and how effective ethical self-regulation has been within in computer security research. The project utilizes multiple methods, including citation analysis, content analysis, and interviews, to illuminate and evaluate the ethical culture of computer security research. The project team is a friendly multi-disciplinary collaboration with researchers whose come from information studies, science and technology studies, data science, and computer security. About us: The location of the postdoc position is in Seattle, but may be flexible. At the University of Washington, the postdoctoral would be part of the research community at the Information School which holds regular research seminars, and includes the Technology Policy Lab. They would also have opportunities to work with research team members who run the DataLab at the Information School, and the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington and the Security and Privacy Research Lab. Resources at the University of Maryland, College Park include membership in the EViD Lab, which focuses on the intersection of ethics, policy, and technology design and use. PI Katie Shilton and four doctoral students investigate how factors such as values and norms, rules and practices, and material constraints interact to influence emerging technologies. The postdoc may also join the Center for the Advanced Study of Communities and Information (CASCI) at the UMD iSchool. The CASCI community includes an interdisciplinary set of 11 faculty members to provide mentoring opportunities. CASCI also offers a bimonthly theory reading group, speaker series, and lab and meeting space.The UMD iSchool is a growing community of engaged, interdisciplinary researchers. Faculty, staff, postdocs, and students work collaboratively on a range of information problems, using diverse methods and approaches. Further opportunities for collaboration include UMD's Information Policy and Access Center (IPAC), the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory (HCIL), Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP), and the Digital Curation Innovation Center (DCIC). To apply: Interested applicants should send a single pdf document to Megan Finn and Katie Shilton . Applications should include a one-page letter of interest, CV, a writing sample, and the name and contact information of three references. ________________________________ ________________________________ _______________________________________________ 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 C3F768854; Sat, 21 Jan 2017 06:06:02 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 213DE884E; Sat, 21 Jan 2017 06:06:01 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2CA048847; Sat, 21 Jan 2017 06:05:57 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170121050558.2CA048847@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 06:05:57 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.664 summer workshops at Guelph (Canada) 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: <20170121050602.27514.7571@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 664.

(12) Subject: Digital Latin Library Workshop [2] From: Brill (15) Subject: Invitation to a lecture on Digital Humanities --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2017 16:07:44 +0000 From: "Huskey, Samuel J." Subject: Digital Latin Library Workshop The Digital Latin Library project (http://digitallatin.org) announces a workshop on the preparation of critical editions of Latin texts according to the soon-to-be-released encoding guidelines for the Library of Digital Latin Texts (LDLT), a series of new, born-digital editions to be published under the auspices of the Society for Classical Studies, the Medieval Academy of America, and the Renaissance Society of America. The workshop will be held on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, the DLL’s institutional home, on June 29–30, 2017. The LDLT guidelines aim to facilitate the creation of full critical editions—with prefatory materials, text, critical apparatus, and other common features of traditional editions—in a digital format that will open up new possibilities for scholarship. For example, texts encoded according to the guidelines can be used with digital tools that provide new ways of working with the information, from a text viewer that allows readers to evaluate variant readings by swapping them in and out of the text, to dynamic data visualization apps that show how different versions of the text relate to each other. Participants in the workshop will learn about the encoding guidelines and see demonstrations of some of the applications that will be released later this year. They will also spend time working with facilitators who can answer questions and provide advice about how to apply the guidelines to their projects. Applications are invited from anyone who would like to learn about the Library of Digital Latin Texts and the potential of born-digital critical editions, but preference will be given to applicants with existing projects. Applications should include: 1. A statement of interest, describing how the applicant will benefit from participating in the workshop, 2. A description of the applicant’s existing project (if there is one), 3. A brief description of the applicant’s experience with both textual editing and digital technology.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2017 09:54:24 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Riskin, The Restless Clock This is highly to recommend Jessica Riskin's new book, The Restless Clock: A History of the Centuries-Long Argument over What Makes Living Things Tick (Chicago, 2016). I have not had a chance to read much of it yet, but the Introduction, "Huxley's Joke, or the Problem of Agency in Nature and Science" is already worth the price of admission. Riskin writes, > The Restless Clock examines the origins and history of the principle > banning agency from science and this principle’s accompanying > clockwork model of nature, in particular as these apply to the > science of living things.... By “agency,” then, I mean simply an > intrinsic capacity to act in the world, to do things in a way that is > neither predetermined nor random. Its opposite is passivity.... A > thing with agency is a thing whose activity originates inside itself > rather than outside. A billiard ball that starts to roll when another > billiard ball smacks into it looks passive: its movement appears to > originate outside itself. What about a compass needle swinging around > to point north? An asparagus fern sending a shoot across the room > overnight? One might consider that many things in nature, if not > most, exhibit agency: an activity that appears to originate within > themselves. > > However, the scientific principle banning ascriptions of agency to > natural things supposes a material world that is essentially > passive.... It is the informing axiom of a mechanistic approach to > science. Mechanism, the core paradigm of modern science from the > mid-seventeenth century onward, describes the world as a machine—a > great clock, in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century imagery —whose > parts are made of inert matter, moving only when set in motion by > some external force, such as a clockmaker winding the spring. > According to this originally seventeenth-century model, a mechanism > is something lacking agency, produced and moved by outside forces; > and nature, as a great mechanism, is similarly passive. Assuming that > living beings are part of nature, according to this model, they too > must be rationally explicable without appeal to intentions or > desires, agency or will. You can see where this is going. I suggest we go with it.

While many of the skills taught in the Programming Historian's current suite of 57 peer reviewed tutorials focus on data gathering, cleaning, and presenting, we believe there is scope to grow further into algorithms, analyses, and approaches that can form the basis of clear answers to humanities questions. To get the ball rolling, we have suggested 5 lessons that we would like to receive: 1) What can you conclude from topic models? 2) How do you conduct a stylometric analys (well)? 3) How do you conduct spatial clustering of geographic data? 4) When do you know when your network analysis is meaningful? 5) TF-IDF to Historical Research This is by no means an exhaustive list, and we are happy to hear from any prospective authors. Full details of our Call for Proposals can be found on the project blog: http://programminghistorian.org/posts/call-to-action Please share this notice with any colleagues or students you think may be interested. Collaborative writing is positively encouraged where it suits authors. I'm happy to answer any questions, and we hope to hear from you.

Goal of the Making of the Humanities (MoH) Conferences The MoH conferences are organized by the Society for the History of the Humanities http://www.historyofhumanities.org/ and bring together scholars and historians interested in the history of a wide variety of disciplines, including archaeology, art history, historiography, linguistics, literary studies, media studies, musicology, and philology, tracing these fields from their earliest developments to the modern day. We welcome panels and papers on any period or region. We are especially interested in work that compares scholarly practices across humanities disciplines and civilizations. Please note that the Making of the Humanities conferences are not concerned with the history of art, the history of music or the history of literature, and so on, but instead with the history of art history, the history of musicology, the history of literary studies, etc. Keynote Speakers Elisabeth Décultot , Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg: From an Antiquarian to an Historical Approach?

This will be the third iteration of Early Modern Digital Agendas, each of which has been generously supported by the NEH’s Office of Digital Humanities. Under the direction of Ruth Ahnert (Queen Mary University of London) and Jonathan Hope (University of Strathclyde), and with an expert visiting faculty, our focus will be on the best practices for building and curating network analysis projects while ensuring that each participant comes away with their own understanding of how such work fits into broader developments within the disciplinary fields of early modern studies and Digital Humanities. The ultimate aim is to give participants the practical skills to use these methods in their own work. The visiting faculty are some of the most exciting people working in this area at the moment from the US, Canada, and the UK. A program overview may be found here: http://folgerpedia.folger.edu/EMDA_2017, and application and eligibility guidelines are here: http://folgerpedia.folger.edu/EMDA2017_Application_Guidelines.The twelve individuals selected to participate in this institute will each receive a stipend of $1,750 to help with the costs of travel and accommodation. The application deadline is 1 March 2017. Please contact institute@folger.edu with any application-related questions.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 08:18:41 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: readings for chairs and deans Harold Short's request for readings on digital humanities for chairs and deans points to the need for writings addressing such an audience. Failing that -- are there any? -- there are the collections and surveys as sources. An anthology for the purpose, perhaps? The most obvious of the existing collections is the New Companion, ed. Schreibman, Siemens and Unsworth (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016). Surveying my bookshelf I find also e.g. Advancing Digital Humanities: Research, Methods, Theories (Palgrave, 2014), Defining Digital Humanities: A Reader, ed. Terras, Nyhan and Vanhoutte (Ashgate, 2013) and Digital Humanities Pedagogy: Practices, Principles and Politics, ed. Hirsch (OpenBook, 2012), from which individual chapters could be selected. I'd consider harvesting from Resourceful Reading: The New Empiricism, eResearch and Australian Literary Culture, ed. Bode and Dixon, esp. Jason Ensor's "Is a Picture Worth 10,175 Australian Novels?" -- because of its critical acumen applied to the question of 'distant reading', which everyone has heard of. It might be a good idea to target collections addressed to a specific academic area, such as Early Modern studies, for which Early Modern Studies after the Digital Turn, ed. Estill, Jakacki and Ullyot (Iter, 2016) is a fine example, esp for John N. Wall's "Gazing into Imaginary Spaces: Digital Modeling and the Representation of Reality" and Jennifer Roberts-Smith, Shawn DeSouza-Coelho and Paul J. Stoesser's "Cambridge Revisited?: Simulation, Methodology, and Phenomenology in the Study of Theatre History". (There may well be others there worth mentioning, but I've had limited opportunity to peruse the volume.) Those collections that are essentially addressed to other digital humanists would be, I'd think, less useful. Especially contributions to the perpetual discussion on whether digital humanities is a discipline.... We are still lacking something along the lines of the Oxford Very Short Introductions series, which would be ideal -- because, I'd say, it's still too early in the game, though I'd hope to be proven wrong by someone with a comprehensive view of what's going on.

Deadline for abstracts: 15th of April; deadline for the article: end of 2017. We are looking forward to read you! Do not hesitate to forward the call to all the interested people. Kind greetings, Claire Clivaz and Tim Hutchings Call for Papers: /_Christianity and the Digital Humanities_/__ //De Gruyter book series: /Introductions to Digital Humanities: Religion/ Editors: Tim Hutchings and Claire Clivaz ** The Digital Humanities is a well-established, fast-growing, multidisciplinary field producing computational applications and analytical models that enable new kinds of research in both the humanities and computer sciences. Scholars of Christianity were among the first pioneers in the application of computer analysis to humanities projects, and we aim to celebrate and continue that legacy. This volume will share the most exciting current projects and initiatives from around the world, encourage new innovations in analysis, communication and pedagogy, and inspire wider engagement with the possibilities of digital humanities research. Each volume in the IDH:R book series will be a short introduction to the intersections of digital humanities and a particular religious topic, tradition or cluster of traditions. Volumes will report on the emerging frontiers of digital humanities research, including current methodologies, techniques, tools, and projects as well as defining challenges and opportunities for future work. Each volume will also serve as an overview and introduction to the digital humanities and religion, suitable for those unfamiliar with the field. /Christianity and the Digital Humanities/will seek to explore the many ways in which digital media and the humanistic study of Christianity present, explain, and challenge each other. We therefore welcome proposals for chapters from the widest possible range of approaches. Chapters may include: -introductions to key DH debates as they impact the study of Christianity -case studies of new and recent DH projects -surveys of tools and methodologies for DH research -studies of Christian use of digital media informed by a humanities perspective, including but not limited to online rhetoric, electronic literature and digital theology -computer design and HCI projects intended for Christian users -advances in the use of digital media for pedagogy, public impact and communication of research in the study of Christianity We are keen to include projects representing different Christian traditions, geographical regions and time periods, from biblical studies and Christian origins to the present day. We invite scholars interested in any aspect of Christianity and the digital humanities to submit an abstract for consideration. Abstracts should be around 500 words in length. Each chapter of the finished book will be between 6000-7000 words in length, and a limited number of black and white illustrations can be included. The deadline for abstracts will be *April 15th*, 2017. After reviewing abstracts, we will assemble a formal volume proposal to the series editors. We anticipate setting an initial deadline for completion of draft chapters in December 2017. ** Please direct abstract submissions and inquiries to the editors: Tim Hutchings (Stockholm University, Sweden): timothy.hutchings@ims.su.se Claire Clivaz (SIB, Switzerland): claire.clivaz@sib.swiss -- Claire Clivaz Head of Digital Enhanced Learning SIB | Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics Genopode 2016 - University of Lausanne – 1015 Lausanne t +41 21 692 40 60 claire.clivaz@sib.swiss --===============5061674193584706922== 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 --===============5061674193584706922==-- 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 990648864; Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:21:52 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4A37F8862; Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:21:51 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id D1C71884E; Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:21:48 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20170126062148.D1C71884E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:21:48 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.680 readings for chairs and deans 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: <20170126062152.11195.55803@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 680.

The prize name was chosen by members of the BSHS from a shortlist to recognize the major contributions of Hertha Ayrton (1854-1923) to numerous scientific fields, especially electrical engineering and mathematics, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The inaugural prize was won by the British Library for Voices of Science (http://www.bl.uk/voices-of-science) and we now welcome applications for the second Ayrton Prize, to be awarded to the best history of science web project of the past two years. The deadline for submissions is 10 March 2017; for more details on how to enter, please visit www.bshs.org.uk/prizes/ayrton-prize. To be eligible entries should: * Be a self-contained website (including blogs and other web-based projects), available in English, whose overall content is in HSTM, or a distinct HSTM subsection of a website, such as an online exhibition section of a museum website. * Have been created or updated with substantial new content within the last two calendar years (from the entry deadline). * Communicate HSTM to a non-specialist audience and/or make new resources available for the study of HSTM. * Reflect current best practice in the discipline. * Make effective use of the medium. The Outreach and Education Committee will consider all entries and produce a shortlist which will then be open for vote to members of the BSHS. The project with the most votes will be the winner. In producing the shortlist the OEC will consider the following criteria: * Is the content accurate and supported by appropriate references to sources? * Does the project reflect current scholarship in HSTM? * Does the project display good digital design principles? Is it easily navigable and accessible? * Does it to do something technically or scholarly innovative? * Does it make effective use of the medium? * Is it useful to HSTM practitioners and/or is it informative and interesting to public audiences? * Are there clear and feasible plans to secure the longer-term future of the project? -- Dr James Stark Chair, Outreach and Education Committee, BSHS University Academic Fellow in Medical Humanities AHRC Leadership Fellow Director of Impact School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science University of Leeds, LEEDS, LS2 9JT, UK "Endless Possibilities of Rejuvenation" http://arts.leeds.ac.uk/medregen t: +44 (0)113 343 0247 w: http://www.leeds.ac.uk/arts/profile/20042/46/james_f._stark @KingTekkers _______________________________________________ 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 B1AC88868; Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:27:28 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 91FF5885F; Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:27:27 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9039D885F; Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:27:25 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170126062725.9039D885F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:27:25 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.682 positions in the Austrian Centre (Vienna) 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: <20170126062728.12922.51624@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 682.

Mellon-funded African American Digital Humanities Initiative http://arhusynergy.umd.edu/programs/aadhum/ (AADHum) invite your participation in “Textual Embodiments,” the Society for Textual Scholarship’s International Interdisciplinary Conference for 2017. Date: Wednesday, May 31 - Friday, June 2, 2017 Location: University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland USA Program Chairs: Neil Fraistat, Purdom Lindblad, Catherine Knight Steele, Raffaele Viglianti Deadline for Proposals: February 26, 2017 Keynote speakers: Marisa Parham (Amherst University) Susan Brown (University of Guelph) Our conference theme is "Textual Embodiments," broadly construed. With this theme we hope to engage a range of issues involving the materiality of texts, including their physical, virtual, or performative manifestations as objects that can decay or break down and can potentially be repaired and sustained over time. It also concerns the processes of inclusion and exclusion through which bodies of texts take shape in the form of editions, archives, collections, and exhibition building, as well as the ethical responsibilities faced by textual scholars, archivists, conservationists, media archeologists, digital resource creators, and cultural heritage professionals engaging in these processes. As always, the conference is open to submissions involving interdisciplinary discussion of current research into particular aspects of textual work: the discovery, enumeration, description, bibliographical analysis, editing, annotation, mark-up, and sustainability of texts in disciplines such as cultural studies, literature, history, musicology, classical and biblical studies, philosophy, art history, legal history, history of science and technology, computer science, library and information science, archives, lexicography, epigraphy, paleography, codicology, cinema studies, new media studies, game studies, theater, linguistics, and textual and literary theory. Considerations of the role of computational methodologies, tools, and technologies in textual theory and practice are of course welcome, as are papers addressing aspects of archival theory and practice as they pertain to textual criticism and scholarly editing. Especially welcome are interdisciplinary papers addressing the theme of Textual Embodiment in the fields of Black Diaspora Studies, Indigenous Studies, LGBTQ Studies, Latinx Studies, Disability Studies, Women’s Studies, and Critical Theory. Submissions may take the following traditional forms: 1. Papers. Papers should be no more than 20 minutes in length, making a significant original contribution to scholarship. Papers that are primarily reports or demonstrations of tools or projects are discouraged. 2. Panels. Panels may consist of either three associated papers or four to six roundtable speakers. Roundtables should address topics of broad interest and scope, with the goal of fostering lively debate with audience participation. 3. Workshops. Workshops should propose a specific problem, tool, or skill set for which the workshop leader will provide expert guidance and instruction. Examples might be an introduction to forensic computing or paleography. Workshop proposals that are accepted will be announced on the conference Web site (http://www.textual.org) and attendees will be required to enroll with the workshop leader(s). 4. Submissions may also take the form of Open Fishbowl sessions . Drawing on the expertise of both speakers and attendees, Fishbowls are small group discussions in which 5 initial participants face one another in a circle, in the middle of the larger audience. Participants cycle out as audience members join the inner circle to create dialogue across perspectives and different types of research. Submitted proposals should include a brief statement as to the core idea or theme for the fishbowl, emphasizing its relation to conference themes or relevance to the larger Textual Studies community. Naming some or all of the initial five “fish” is encouraged. Potential topics for Fishbowl session might include, for example, “Minimal Computing, Globalized Editions,” “Participatory Editions,” and “#ArchivesSoWhite.” Proposals for all formats should include a title; abstract (250 words max.) of the proposed paper, panel, seminar, or workshop; and name, email address, and institutional affiliation for all participants. Format should be clearly indicated. Seminar, fishbowl, and workshop proposals in particular should take care to articulate the imagined audience and any expectations of prior knowledge or preparation. All abstracts should indicate what if any technological support will be required. Inquiries and proposals should be submitted electronically to https://goo.gl/forms/B6xi4SmZAkmwWB9o2/. Responses will be sent by March 10. -- Neil Fraistat Professor of English & Director Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) University of Maryland 301-405-5896 or 301-314-7111 (fax) http://www.mith.umd.edu/ Twitter: @fraistat --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Jan 2017 21:27:59 +0000 From: Nabil Kashyap Subject: Call For Proposals: 2017 Keystone DH Keystone DH @ the Chemical Heritage Foundation Philadelphia, PA July 12-14, 2017 http://keystonedh.network/2017/ ---------------------------------------- We are excited to announce that this year’s Keystone DH Conference will be held at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia.

There are questions of implementation: How to do it? What kind of programmes? Where to place them? In some places justification for the trouble and expense will in part turn on questions of grant-funding. Then there are questions of intellectual motivation and disciplinary effects.

These changes call for novel analytical tools and methodologies for making sense of large amounts of heterogeneous data, for deriving diverse kinds of knowledge, and for linking across different collections and research disciplines. Thus the theme of the 2017 conference is #TOScale #TOAnalyze #TODiscover. Digital libraries must improve outreach efforts, engage diverse communities, and provide scholars and users with effective and flexible access to materials which will in turn empower them to make new observations and discoveries. This year, we particularly invite papers, panels, workshops, and tutorials that present new discovery methods for diverse kinds of collections and datasets (e.g., documents, images, sounds, videos), that apply recent technologies in related fields like machine learning and data mining, and that report on innovative digital library applications that engage diverse communities, facilitate user access, and enable discovery and exploration in all domains including science, art, and the humanities. This year, in addition to the research-oriented program, we are organizing a practitioners’ day so experts and practitioners can share their experiences and report on major projects. Practitioner contributions will take the form of posters and demos. Participation is sought from all parts of the world and from the full range of established and emerging disciplines and professions including computer science, information science, web science, data science, digital humanities, librarianship, data management, archival science and practice, museum studies and practice, information technology, medicine, social sciences, education and the humanities. Representatives from academe, government, industry, and others are invited to participate. TOPICS JCDL welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of digital libraries such as: collection discovery and development, hybrid physical/digital collections; knowledge discovery; applications of machine learning and AI; services; digital preservation; system design; scientific data management; infrastructure and service design; implementation; interface design; human-computer interaction; performance evaluation; user research; crowdsourcing and human computation; intellectual property; privacy; electronic publishing; document genres; multimedia; user communities; and associated theoretical topics. Submissions that resonate with JCDL 2017 theme are especially welcome, although we will give equal consideration to all topics in digital libraries. SUBMISSIONS Full papers report on mature work, or efforts that have reached an important milestone, and must not exceed 10 pages. Accepted full papers will typically be presented in 20 minutes with 10 minutes for questions and discussion. Short papers may highlight preliminary results to bring them to the community’s attention. They may also present theories or systems that can be described concisely in the limited space. Short papers must not exceed 4 pages in the conference format. Accepted short papers will typically be presented in 10 minutes with 5 minutes for questions and discussion. Posters permit presentation of late-breaking results in an informal, interactive manner. Demonstrations showcase innovative digital library technologies and applications, allowing you to share your work directly with your colleagues in a high-visibility setting. Proposals for posters or demonstrations should consist of a title, extended abstract, and contact information for the authors, and should not exceed 2 pages in the conference format. Accepted posters and demonstrations will be displayed at the conference. All paper submissions (full/short papers, posters and demos) should use the ACM Proceedings template and are to be submitted in electronic format via the conference's EasyChair submission page [forthcoming-see website for link http://2017.jcdl.org/call-for-papers]. All accepted papers will be published by the ACM as conference proceedings and electronic versions will be included in both the ACM and IEEE digital libraries. ------------ [...] -- Ian Milligan Assistant Professor Department of History University of Waterloo 200 University Ave W.

Subject: Re: 30.680 readings for chairs and deans In-Reply-To: To answer some of Willard’s questions, as a department chair, I would like practical advice on evaluating and assessing digital humanities projects in a meaningful way. I would also like to know how to justify those assessments to other faculty members, the dean, and the provost. Of course, the problem is that there are so many different kinds of digital humanities projects that it is difficult to give general advice about assessing them, but knowing how others cope with assessment would help. It would also be helpful to have suggestions for guiding and mentoring junior faculty with DH projects through the tenure and promotion process. And, since those with tenure often have more freedom to pursue new directions in research, it would be helpful to know how to support faculty members interested in DH work and help them explore new possibilities for their research. Incorporating digital humanities topics and projects into the curriculum is also an important subject. There is enormous potential for involving undergraduates and graduate students in DH projects. What are others doing, and how are they doing it? What is the most responsible and effective way of teaching the technical skills required for digital humanities scholarship? What are the best practices for evaluating student projects? I hope that helps to get the ball rolling.

I've always wondered what exactly distinguishes a method as particularly 'formal' -- without content? abstract? conventional? officially sanctioned? So it is particularly good to come across Mary S. Morgan's discussion of formalization in her fine book, The World in the Model: How Economists Work and Think (Cambridge, 2012), pp. 19-27. Read it tonight!

Its main goal is to disseminate and promote progress in research areas related to the development of techniques for the integration, combination, and modularization of formal systems together with their analysis. FroCoS 2017 will be co-located with the 26th International Conference on Automated Reasoning with Analytic Tableaux and Related Methods (TABLEAUX 2017) and the 8th International Conference on Interactive Theorem Proving (ITP 2017). The local organization of all events will be organised by Claudia Nalon (USB, Brazil), Daniele Nantes (UnB, Brazil), Elaine Pimentel (UFRN, Brazil) and Joao Marcos (UFRN, Brazil). SCOPE OF CONFERENCE In various areas of computer science, such as logic, computation, program development and verification, artificial intelligence, knowledge representation, and automated reasoning, there is an obvious need for using specialized formalisms and inference systems for selected tasks. To be usable in practice, these specialized systems must be combined with each other and integrated into general purpose systems. This has led---in many research areas---to the development of techniques and methods for the combination and integration of dedicated formal systems, as well as for their modularization and analysis. The International Symposium on Frontiers of Combining Systems (FroCoS) traditionally focusses on these types of research questions and activities. Like its predecessors, FroCoS 2017 seeks to offer a common forum for research in the general area of combination, modularization, and integration of systems, with emphasis on logic-based ones, and of their practical use. Typical topics of interest include (but are not limited to): * combinations of logics (such as higher-order, first-order, temporal, modal, description or other non-classical logics); * combination and integration methods in SAT and SMT solving; * combination of decision procedures, satisfiability procedures, constraint solving techniques, or logical frameworks; * combinations and modularity in ontologies; * integration of equational and other theories into deductive systems; * hybrid methods for deduction, resolution and constraint propagation; * hybrid systems in knowledge representation and natural language semantics; * combined logics for distributed and multi-agent systems; * logical aspects of combining and modularizing programs and specifications; * integration of data structures into constraint logic programming and deduction; * combinations and modularity in term rewriting; * applications of methods and techniques to the verification and analysis of information systems.

Please also forward this email to anyone you think may be interested in this topic. Thanks to the generosity of their partners and sponsors, DHSI is able to offer a number of tuition scholarships for their courses. These scholarships are open to all, and cover tuition costs with the exception of a small, non-refundable administration fee. Furthermore, additional tuition scholarships are available specifically for this course. You may apply via http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php DHSI not only offers several additional opportunities to learn about digital humanities, scholarship, and pedagogy through unconference sessions, panel presentations, guest speakers, and colloquia. In addition, the 2017 Institute will coincide with the 2017 meeting of SHARP (Society for the History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing, http://sharp2017.com http://sharp2017.com/ ), so there will be additional opportunities to attend sessions and events for participants. Accessibility and Digital Environments: course description In order to successfully reach a wide audience, digital projects must take into account the variety of potential users and their diverse needs. Not everyone accesses information in the same way, though we often assume otherwise. For example, people with disabilities of many different kinds--sensory, physical, and cognitive--represent a significant percentage of users for many digital projects, but most of these projects are designed without thinking about accessibility. However, digital humanists can ensure that they are designing for all users by taking accessibility into account from the beginning of a project. And existing projects can be adjusted and modified to improve their accessibility. This course will take a two-fold approach: students will read and discuss key works from disability studies scholarship in order to consider various applications for the digital humanities; these readings will form a critical framework for students’ hands-on work with tools that enable them to evaluate and create scholarly digital resources. Mornings will involve readings-based discussions on topics such as emerging standards for accessibility in digital environments, the social model of disability, user-centered design, and embodiment. Afternoons will be reserved for guided individual exercises and small-group work. Students are encouraged to bring their own projects or project ideas in order to evaluate them for accessibility and to make or plan changes as appropriate. Knowledge of and experience with web design is not required, but curiosity and a willingness to learn are a necessity. For more information about DHSI, generally, visit http://dhsi.org http://dhsi.org/ If you have any questions or concerns about the “Accessibility and Digital Environments” course, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The Digital Mitford team offers an unusual opportunity to gain hands-on experience with coding and textual scholarship by working with materials from an active digital project. We welcome past coding school participants and new coders alike, and participants in the Coding School with interests in women writers sometimes join the editing team. Registration is $180 for graduate students and adjunct instructors, and $300 for full-time faculty, librarians, and editors, and there is no additional cost for housing on Pitt-Greensburg's campus. Participants are encouraged to seek support from their host institutions for travel expenses. All participants can expect to gain experience with decision-making with TEI, regular expression matching to construct XML from text and other document formats, and with XPath and its applications. In discussing the TEI, I'll also be sharing my experience in the past year as a member of the TEI Technical Council, working on maintaining and updating the Guidelines. Those participants wishing to begin with XPath may elect to gain experience in transforming and publishing XML to build digital editions and process markup as data for analysis and visualization. We ask that people indicate their background and what they hope to learn with us in an e-mail of interest directed to me at ebb8 at pitt.edu. E-mails of interest should be sent me between now and April 3 so we can work out how best to plan the Coding School. Registration fees will be due May 15. For more information and how to apply, please see http://bit.ly/digMit2017 Many thanks for reading and sharing!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2017 14:41:14 +0000 From: Ray Siemens Subject: [CFP] JADH2017 (Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan, September 11-12, 2017) JADH2017: "Creating Data through Collaboration" The Japanese Association for Digital Humanities is pleased to announce its sixth annual conference, to be held at Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan, September 11-12, 2017. The conference will feature posters, papers and panels. We invite proposals globally on all aspects of digital humanities, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with practices that aim to cross borders, for example, between academic fields, media, languages, cultures, organizations, and so on, as related to the field of digital humanities. As creation of research data -- collection, feature extraction, annotation, and organization -- is a seminal component of all DH projects, means and modes of this data-creation have been handled in various ways as digital approaches have evolved. Recently, the focus on methods of collaborating in data creation has been renewed with the rapid growth of projects that are crowd-sourced on the Web. The re-emergence of data creation based on this approach provides a wider range of data, as it has the potential to include contributors who are not only researchers, but also members of the general public. Such a new possibility should be taken due advantage of, especially given the difficult situation for the humanities fields in the academy. This year we strongly encourage you to submit proposals about methods and problems in collaborative approaches for data collection, especially crowd sourcing and other forms of public engagement. With this as our suggested central focus, we nonetheless welcome papers on a broad range of DH topics. For example: Research issues, including data mining, information design and modeling, software studies, and humanities research enabled through the digital medium; computer-based research and computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities, and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship. Some examples might include text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning, and endangered languages; the digital arts, architecture, music, film, theater, new media and related areas; the creation and curation of humanities digital resources; the role of digital humanities in academic curricula; The range of topics covered by Digital Humanities can also be consulted in the journal Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (http://dsh.oxfordjournals.org/), Oxford University Press. Abstracts should be of 500-1000 words in length in English, including title. Please submit abstracts on the open conference system for conference below by May 8, 2017. http://www.jadh.org/confsys/index.php/jadh2017/ Presenters will be notified of acceptance on 31 May 2017. Type of proposals: 1. Poster presentations: Poster presentations may include work-in-progress on any of the topics described above as well as demonstrations of computer technology, software and digital projects. A separate poster session will open the conference, during which time presenters should be on-hand to explain their work, share their ideas with other delegates, and answer questions. Posters will also be on displayed at various times during the conference, and presenters are encouraged to provide material and handouts with more detailed information and URLs. 2. Short papers: Short papers are allocated 10 minutes (plus 5 minutes for questions) and are suitable for describing work-in-progress and reporting on shorter experiments and software and tools in early stages of development. 3. Long papers: Long papers are allocated 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes for questions) and are intended for presenting substantial unpublished research and reporting on significant new digital resources or methodologies. 4. Panels: Panels (90 minutes) are comprised of either: (a) Three long papers on a joint theme. All abstracts should be submitted together with a statement, of approximately 500-1000 words, outlining the session topic and its relevance to current directions in the digital humanities; or (b) A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit a 500-1000 words outline of the topic session and its relevance to current directions in the digital humanities as well as an indication from all speakers of their willingness to participate.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2017 07:01:09 +0000 From: Marc Alexander Subject: PhD studentship in literature and DH at Glasgow Dear all, The University of Glasgow, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, is offering a funded PhD scholarship in the digital analysis of early Victorian novels of fashion and high society. The scholarship centres around the University’s collection of novels in a genre called ‘silver fork’ fiction, a nineteenth-century phenomenon akin to the ‘sex and shopping’ novels of the 1980s. Silver fork fiction depended heavily on its claim to capture the most up-to-date in conversation, ‘brands’, social behaviour and fashionable knowledge: each silver fork novel is thus a kind of mini-collection, a shop-window – or now, a museum display – for its time. The precise research will align with the candidate's interests, but will centre around the use of quantitative methods in tracing the history of a genre of popular literature. Applications are welcome from students with interests in various areas, including English Literature, English Language, or cognate subjects in the Arts or Humanities, or from students in Statistics or Data Analysis. Applicants must have a good undergraduate degree and have or be working towards a Masters' in a relevant subject. For applicants from the arts or humanities, experience of quantitative methods would be beneficial but is not essential; for students from statistics or data analysis, a demonstrable interest in literature is beneficial but not essential. The scholarship provides maintenance (c. £14,500 in session 2017-18) and fees (Home/EU rate only). The deadline for applications is Friday 3 March 2017.

Best, Mark Rankin ******************************* John N. King of The Ohio State University and Mark Rankin of James Madison University will direct a National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for College and University Teachers on continuity and change in the production, dissemination, and reading of Western European books during the 200 years following the advent of printing with movable type. In particular, they plan to pose the governing question of whether the advent of printing was a necessary precondition for the Protestant Reformation. Participants will consider ways in which adherents of different religious faiths shared common ground in exploiting elements such as book layout, typography, illustration, and paratext (e.g., prefaces, glosses, and commentaries) in order to inspire reading, but also to restrict interpretation. Employing key methods of the History of the Book, our investigation will consider how the physical nature of books affected ways in which readers understood and assimilated their intellectual contents. This program is geared to meet the needs of teacher-scholars interested in the literary, political, or cultural history of the Renaissance and/or Reformation, the History of the Book, art history, women’s studies, religious studies, bibliography, print culture, library science (including rare book librarians), mass communication, literacy studies, and more. This seminar will meet from 18 June until 15 July 2017 at The Huntington Library in San Marino, CA, one of the nation's leading research and cultural centers. Among the Library’s 420,000 rare books and seven million manuscripts are major holdings in medieval manuscripts, books printed before 1501, Renaissance history and literature, maps, travel literature, and the history of science, medicine, and technology. The Huntington also boasts art galleries containing 650 paintings and 440 works of sculpture, as well as twelve botanical gardens containing 15,000 plant varieties. Those eligible to apply include citizens of USA who are engaged in teaching at the college or university level and independent scholars who have received the terminal degree in their field (usually the Ph.D.). In addition, non-US citizens who have taught and lived in the USA for at least three years prior to March 2017 are eligible to apply. NEH will provide participants with a stipend of $3,300. Up to three spaces will be reserved for adjunct faculty. Full details and application information are available at https://call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/cfp/2017/01/19/neh-summer-seminar-the-formation-and-reformation-of-the-book-1450-1650-at-huntington For further information, please contact rankinmc@jmu.edu.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2017 20:33:46 -0500 From: Hannah L Jacobs Subject: Call for Hosts: Digital Humanities 2020 Digital Humanities 2020: Call for hosts http://adho.org/announcements/2017/call-hosts-dh2020 The ADHO Conference Coordinating Committee invites proposals to host the Digital Humanities conference in 2020. According to the three-year rotation adopted by the ADHO steering committee in 2014, DH2020 will be hosted in the US or Canada. Digital Humanities (DH) is the annual, international conference of the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations(ADHO). ADHO's constituent organizations are the European Association for Digital Humanities (EADH); the Association for Computers and the Humanities (ACH); the Canadian Society for Digital Humanities / Société canadienne des humanités numériques (CSDH/SCHN); the Australasian Association for Digital Humanities (aaDH); centerNet; Humanistica, L'association francophone des humanités numériques/digitales; and the Japanese Association for Digital Humanities (JADH). The next joint DH conference will be held in Montréal, Canada, on the campus of the University of McGill and co-organized by the University of Montréal, 8-11 August 2017. DH2018 will be held in Mexico City, Mexico, co-organized by the Colegio de México and the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) in alliance with La Red de Humanidades Digitales (RedHD), 24-30 June 2018. DH2019 will be held in Utrecht, Netherlands, co-organized by the University of Utrecht, the KNAW, and CLARIAH. We are particularly interested in proposals from institutions or regions that 1) have developed or are developing digital humanities communities and organizations and 2) have not previously hosted a DH conference. Please note that the local organizers must be members of one of the ADHO constituent organizations, listed above. *Conference Information* The conference regularly attracts approximately 500 attendees, but recent years have seen a constant growth of numbers well beyond 500. It consists of 3 days of panels, papers and posters, preceded by 2 days of pre-workshops and tutorials. There are normally 6 or more parallel sessions per time slot and a small number of plenary presentations and receptions. Meetings of the committees of ADHO’s constituent organizations (COs) precede the conference, and lunchtime slots are normally used for the member meetings of the COs. The peer-reviewed academic program is developed by an international Program Committee, which is appointed by the COs. *Local Organizers’ Responsibilities* Local organizers at the host institution(s) are responsible for developing the conference web site, providing facilities, producing a collection of abstracts, organizing a conference banquet, and coordinating any other social events that they think appropriate. The conference is entirely self-financed through conference fees and any other financial contributions that ADHO or the local organizer is able to arrange. ADHO provides partial financial underwriting of the conference (and can, in certain circumstances, advance small amounts of funds for expenses that need to be prepaid) and works together with the local organizers to ensure that registration fees and other income will support all conference expenditures; the details can be found in the ADHO Conference Protocol and related documentation. ADHO also finances certain conference awards, such as named prizes or bursaries. In consultation with the ADHO Program Committee, the local organizers may suggest plenary speakers whose travel, subsistence, and registration must be funded from the conference budget; again, see the Conference Protocol for details. The local organizers are expected to set three levels of registration fees: for members of ADHO constituent organizations; for non-members; and for students. ADHO uses the conference management system ConfTool, and the ADHO Infrastructure and Conference Coordinating committees provide support for this system, including access to data from previous conferences. Local organizers are required to use the ConfTool system for registering participants and including them in special events such as the banquet, but actual credit card payments may be processed outside ConfTool by the local organizer. *Proposal Process* Written proposals should include the following: - an overview of facilities at the host institution- a summary of local institutional engagement and support for the organizers, and contingency plans in case of problems - possible arrangements for social events, including the conference banquet - options for accommodation, including provisional costs and especial attention to low-cost student housing - travel information and advice for participants - a provisional budget, with an estimated registration fee - options for payment (credit card, foreign currency, etc.) by participants - a brief outline of potential approaches to conference sponsorship - any other information that will help the ADHO Steering Committee make a selection The DH2020 host will be selected at the DH2017 conference in Montréal, Canada. Proposers must be prepared to give a short presentation and to answer questions at the ADHO Steering Committee meeting on 6 August at DH2017. Potential organizers are invited to discuss their plans informally with the chair and vice-chair of the ADHO Conference Coordinating Committee, Claire Clivaz (claire.clivaz@isb-sib.ch) and Brian Croxall (brian.croxall@brown.edu), respectively, before submitting a bid. Protocols, guidelines, information about past conferences, and a memorandum of understanding between ADHO and local organizers can be found here: http://adho.org/conference. Sample budgets and other information may be available for planning purposes on request. Proposals should be submitted to Clivaz and Croxall in draft form by 31 May 2017. _______________________________________________ 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 9A4F9888E; Wed, 1 Feb 2017 07:10:00 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CC2FB887F; Wed, 1 Feb 2017 07:09:59 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 860D6887F; Wed, 1 Feb 2017 07:09:56 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170201060956.860D6887F@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 1 Feb 2017 07:09:56 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.702 events: science of information 1870-1945; phraseology; HASTAC 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: <20170201061000.1125.22613@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 702.

For more information and to register, go to http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/science_of_information.html Between about 1870 and 1945, for visionaries and planners around the world, projects for assembling universal knowledge and projects for effecting a universal political order went hand-in-hand. This symposium will investigate the development of intertwining utopianisms in internationalist politics and in the science of information during this period. This span of years stretches from the onset of modern war, in America and Western Europe, to its most horrific climax in World War II. It is also the period during which global transportation and communications systems were constructed, the modern global economy was knit together, and both scientific and humanistic scholarship became a professional and global enterprise. Such developments made the collection and sharing of information and the establishment of accord among nation-states especially urgent, the stuff of utopian speculation, pacifist dreams, and, sometimes, pragmatic nightmares. A striking measure of this urgency was the formation in 1922 of the League of Nations' International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, the primary aim of which was to address and resolve issues at the intersection of information and diplomacy. This period is also approximately the lifespan of one of the foremost of these dreamers: the pioneering information scientist Paul Otlet. Otlet, along with his partner, the Belgian statesman and the 1913 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Henri La Fontaine, championed internationalist ideals in their campaign to promote democratic access to universal knowledge. In light of the emergence of contemporary forms of information utopianism centered on the internet, big data, and the political possibilities of social media and other information technologies, Otlet in particular has become a figure of much interest among both historians of science and historians of libraries and information management. A principal goal of this conference is to bring these communities together to work towards a collective understanding of the hodgepodge of familiar and strange utopian projects that characterized this eventful seventy-five years. How did internationalist thought shape how information was processed and disseminated? Why did some political and information-sharing projects succeed and others founder? Did political and information universalism always go hand-in-hand? Could political universalism instead be paired with skepticism about information-gathering, or information universalism with nationalism? In answering these questions, this conference will shed new light on a pivotal aspect of the making of the modern world and generate valuable perspectives to inform conversations about political and information universalism today. The conference will take place at the Beckman Center at the Chemical Heritage Foundation (map ) and the University of Pennsylvania's Kleinman Center for Energy Policy (Fisher Fine Arts Library, 4th Floor, map at the bottom of the page at ) Speakers include: · Alistair Black, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign · Rachel Sagner Buurma, Swarthmore College · Alex Csiszar, Harvard University · Teresa Davis, Princeton University · Robert Fox, University of Oxford · Eva Hemmungs Wirten, Linköping University · Evan Hepler-Smith, Harvard University · Robert Kargon, The Johns Hopkins University · Peter Lor, University of Pretoria · Kathy Peiss, University of Pennsylvania · Lynn Ransom, University of Pennsylvania Libraries · W.

Conference topics The conference will focus on interdisciplinary approaches to phraseology and invites submissions on a wide range of topics, including, but not limited to: computational, corpus-based, psycholinguistic and cognitive approaches to the study of phraseology, and practical applications in computational linguistics, translation, lexicography and language learning, teaching and assessment. These topics cover but are not limited to the following: Computational approaches to the study of multiword expressions, e.g. automatic detection, classification and extraction of multiword expressions; automatic translation of multiword expressions; computational treatment of proper names; multiword expressions in NLP tasks and applications such as parsing, machine translation, text summarisation, term extraction, web search. Corpus-based approaches to phraseology, e.g. corpus-based empirical studies of phraseology, task-orientated typologies of phraseological units (e.g. for annotation, lexicographic representation, etc.), annotation schemes, applications in applied linguistics and more specifically translation, interpreting, lexicography, terminology, language learning, teaching and assessment (see also below) Phraseology in mono- and bilingual lexicography and terminography, e.g. new forms of presenting phraseological units in dictionaries and other lexical resources based on corpus-based and corpus-driven approaches; domain-specific terminology; Phraseology in translation and cross-linguistic studies, e.g. use parallel and comparable corpora for translating of phraseological units; phraseological units in computer-aided translation; study of phraseology across languages; Phraseology in specialised languages and language dialects, e.g. phraseology of specialised languages, study of phraseological use in different dialects or varieties of a specific language Phraseology in language learning, teaching and assessment: e.g. second language/bilingual processing of phraseological units and formulaic language; phraseological units in learner language; Theoretical and descriptive approaches to phraseology, e.g. phraseological units and the lexis-grammar interface, the relevance of phraseology for theoretical models of grammar, the representation of phraseological units in constituency and dependency theories, phraseology and its interaction with semantics; Cognitive and psycholinguistic approaches: e.g. cognitive models of phraseological unit comprehension and production; on-line measures of phraseological unit processing (e.g. eye tracking, event-related potentials, self-paced reading); phraseology and language disorders; phraseology and text readability; As mentioned earlier, the above list is indicative and not exhaustive.

Applications are made via the Postgraduate Application Centre: http://www.pac.ie/nuig (see below). The Structured PhD in Digital Arts & Humanities at NUI Galway is a full-time four-year interdisciplinary programme from which seven students have graduated since its inception in 2011. This PhD programme provides fourth-level researchers with the platform, structures, partnerships, and innovation models to engage and collaborate with a wide range of academics and practitioners. Our ambition is for students to contribute to the developing digital arts and humanities community world-wide. The programme welcomes proposals on the use of digital tools and methodologies in the scholarly analysis of cultural texts and phenomena, and on practice-based research in digital art and media. Students will gain exposure to transferable skills in digital content creation and analysis that are academically and professionally beneficial. Programme Structure: Candidates enter the programme via the Humanities or the Arts strands (in the relevant discipline). Both strands: * introduce students to the history of and theoretical issues in digital arts and humanities; * provide the skills needed to apply advanced computational and information management paradigms to arts and/or humanities research; * create a framework for students to develop generic and transferable skills to complete the required work for the award of the PhD. Work placements at pertinent institutions may also form part of the scholarship. Application Process: Scholarships are valued at €16,000 plus fees per annum. Entrants should have a first-class or upper second-class honours primary degree within a relevant discipline and (preferably) a completed a Master’s degree in a relevant discipline. Digital Humanities proposals should include a strong and clearly defined digital component, either as a core method of research and dissemination, or as a subject of research in itself. Proposals may address any topic within Digital Humanities, including (but not limited to): archives & preservation; authorship attribution; classical studies; corpus analysis; crowdsourcing; historical studies; interdisciplinary collaboration; internet history; literary studies; natural language processing; ontologies; scholarly editing; stylistics and stylometry; text-mining; textual studies; visualisation. Digital Arts proposals may examine questions such as artistic practice informed by digital media; the intersection between artistic creativity and technological innovation; or the impact of the digital on the form, structure, and function of narrative. Proposals for practice-based doctorates are welcome as well as traditional academic formats. Previous Digital Arts & Humanities PhD students have also worked closely with researchers at the Insight Centre for Data Analytics in Galway (https://www.insight-centre.org/). Prospective applicants are strongly advised to identify and correspond with potential supervisors for their research proposal before submitting a scholarship application: http://www.nuigalway.ie/findasupervisor/ Submitting an Application: Application should be made online at the Postgraduate Application Centre: http://www.pac.ie/nuig – PAC code: GYG38. One sample of academic writing (e.g. a recent BA or MA course essay) and a 1500-word research proposal should also be submitted through PAC. The proposal must be structured under the following headings: * Description of proposed research (800 words) This section should clearly describe the subject and scope of your research, and the proposed outcomes in terms of the creation of new resources, tools, knowledge transfer, etc. You should indicate the critical problems or research questions you propose to address in the thesis component of your PhD, as well as any digital outputs that may arise from your work. * Context (350 words) This section should describe, as far as you can tell, the extent of the existing academic and digital work in your area of interest. You should be able to explain how your research will challenge or extend this existing topic. * Methodology (250 words) Here you should describe the specific methodologies and technologies you expect to employ. * Sources and Archives (100 words) Give a preliminary indication of the primary and secondary material you expect to work with. * Evidence of previous achievements in digital media or art practice (for practice-based PhD applicants only).

Joining these separate resources together holds huge promise for computational, ‘big data’ research in humanities subjects such as cultural history, as researchers can now track the transnational flow of information around the globe across historical periods. This Transatlantic Newspapers Symposium, co-sponsored by the Eccles Centre at the British Library and University College London and convened by Ryan Cordell (Northeastern University) and Ulrich Tiedau (UCL), will bring together researchers advancing innovative approaches to the digitized archives of historical American and British newspapers, with a particular eye toward research that bridges—or could help bridge—collections siloed along national lines. This symposium will build on the work of a smaller summit held at UCL in May 2016. We envision this symposium not as a venue to present papers, but instead as a working group focused on sharing exciting new methods; investigating pressing problems in digital newspaper research, exploring possibilities for strategic cooperation among participants, perhaps to include the development of joint funding proposals; and enabling graduate students and faculty to begin collaborations toward investigating the transoceanic circulation of information during the long 19th century. We aim to keep this a relatively small gathering that can be shaped and directed by the group’s discussion and evolving priorities. If you are working in this area and would be interested in joining this conversation, please submit a brief summary of your research, including what you would hope to contribute to the symposium, as well as a brief biographical note/cv to Ryan Cordell (r.cordell@northeastern.edu) and Ulrich Tiedau (u.tiedau@ucl.ac.uk) by 15 February 2017. We will review proposals and respond very soon after this date, to ensure participants have ample time to plan travel. We will be able to offer a limited amount of travel support. If you have no possibility of institutional or project funding to support travel, please let us know in your application email and we will strive to assist, as far as our modest budget allows. _______________________________________________ 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 EA9958891; Thu, 2 Feb 2017 07:06:37 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3CB6D8821; Thu, 2 Feb 2017 07:06:36 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E735B888C; Thu, 2 Feb 2017 07:06:29 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170202060629.E735B888C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 2 Feb 2017 07:06:29 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.705 a legislative attack on geospatial information 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: <20170202060637.2071.4077@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 705.

Please help us get the word out and encourage @the_AAG to take action. With you, Jack ** Dear Geographers, We are writing to bring your attention to the US HR 482 and SB 103, which are an attack on the collection, storage, and distribution of geospatial information, antiracism work, and affordable housing (see below). The text of the bill , “Local Zoning Decisions Protection Act of 2017,” will nullify HUD's 2015 “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” report to "have no force or effect," and does so by eliminating the data to support social change. In other words, the bill stands at odds with the pursuit of knowledge about human geography, including census data. The bill would prohibit a significant amount of the work we do on race, racism, and fair housing in the US, as well as GIS research more broadly, all of which thwart work towards social justice. A key section reads as follows: SEC. 3. PROHIBITION ON USE OF FEDERAL FUNDS. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be used to design, build, maintain, utilize, or provide access to a Federal database of geospatial information on community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable housing. We encourage feedback, wisdom, and action among our respective lists, AAG specialty groups, other collectives and collegial relationships, and the AAG leadership. We ask you to share word about this bill with colleagues in other disciplines and on social media, using the hashtags #datarefuge and #datarescue when doing so to connect this issue to larger issues of public data and public data collection erasure, obfuscation, and elimination. We also encourage US citizens to reach out to your congressional representatives or to organize from afar in solidarity to stop this bill. Full links to the Senate and House bills are below. Thanks to Euan Hague for bringing this to the CRIT-GEOG list's attention, and for Reed Underwood's response.

The workshop will be taught by Gabriel Bodard and Lucia Vannini (ICS) and Simona Stoyanova (KCL). There will be no charge for the workshop, but participants should arrange their own travel and accommodation. EpiDoc (epidoc.sf.net http://epidoc.sf.net/ ) is a community of practice and guidance for using TEI XML for the encoding of inscriptions, papyri and other ancient texts. It has been used to publish digital projects including Inscriptions of Aphrodisias and Tripolitania, Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri, Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri, and EAGLE Europeana Project. The workshop will introduce participants to the basics of XML markup and give hands-on experience of tagging textual features and object descriptions, identifying and linking to external person and place authorities, and use of the online Papyrological Editor tool. The workshop will assume knowledge of papyrology or epigraphy; Greek, Latin or another ancient language; and the Leiden Conventions. No technical skills are required, and scholars of all levels, from students to professors, are welcome. To apply, please email gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk with a brief description of your background and reason for application, by February 28, 2017.

Markup transformations might involve tasks such as high-level structuring, detailed component structuring, or enhancing information by matching or linking to external vocabularies or data. Enhancing markup presents secondary challenges including lack of structure of the inputs or inconsistency of input data down to the level of spelling, punctuation, and vocabulary. Source data for up-translation may be XML, word processing documents, plain text, scanned & OCRed text, or databases; transformation goals may be content suitable for page makeup, search, or repurposing, in XML, JSON, or any other markup language. The range of approaches to up-transformation is as varied as the variety of specifics of the input and required outputs. Solutions may combine automated processing with human review or could be 100% software implementations. With the potential for requirements to evolve over time, tools may have to be actively maintained and enhanced. This is the place to discuss goals, challenges, solutions, and workflows for significant XML enhancements, including approaches, tools, and techniques that may potentially be used for a variety of other tasks.

Lexicons of Early Modern English (LEME) is the robust research tool valued greatly by lexical historians and researchers around the world. LEME has been setting the standard for modern linguistic research on the English language since 1990 by providing researchers unprecedented access to early books and manuscripts documenting the growth and development of the English language. LEME is ever expanding and currently includes more than 808, 963 word-entries from 213 monolingual, bilingual, and polyglot dictionaries, lexical encyclopedias, hard-word glossaries, spelling lists, and lexically-valuable treatises surviving in print or manuscript from the Tudor, Stuart, Caroline, Commonwealth, and Restoration periods. To this date, LEME has been available in two versions – an open access version that allows for simple searches on the multilingual lexical database and a subscription based version, that provides a robust and full-featured scholarly resource for advanced research into the entire lexical content of Early Modern English. In an effort to make this valuable research tool available to all researchers, everywhere, the LEME Project team, University of Toronto Press and the University of Toronto Libraries are pleased to announce that as of January 30, 2017, Lexicons of Early Modern English, and all of its functionality, will be full open access.

These involve different kinds of reasoning such as reasoning with uncertainty, exceptions, similarity, vagueness, incomplete or contradictory information and many others. It turns out that everyday reasoning usually shows the two salient intertwined aspects below: * Ampliative aspect: augmenting the underlying reasoning by allowing more conclusions. In practical contexts, this amounts to the ability to make inferences that venture beyond the scope of the premises, somehow in an unsound but justifiable way. Prominent examples are (i) default reasoning: jumping to conclusions deemed as plausible 'by default', i.e., in the absence of information to the contrary, like applying negation as failure or adopting the closed-world assumption; (ii) inductive and abductive reasoning: taking chances in drawing conclusions that implicitly call for further scrutiny or tests by empirical observations, like in making inductive hypotheses in scientific theories or finding abductive explanations in forensics, and (iii) analogical reasoning: extrapolating from very few examples (in the worst case only one) on the basis of observable similarities or dissimilarities. * Defeasible aspect: curtailing the underlying reasoning by either disregarding or disallowing some conclusions that somehow ought not to be sanctioned. In practice, this amounts to the ability to backtrack one's conclusions or to admit exceptions in reasoning. Some examples of this are (i) retractive reasoning: withdrawing conclusions that have already been derived, like in belief contraction or in negotiation, and (ii) preemptive reasoning: preventing or blocking the inference of some conclusions by disallowing their derivation in the first place, like in dealing with exceptional cases in multiple inheritance networks and in regulatory systems. Several efforts have been put into the study and definition of formalisms within which the aforementioned aspects of everyday reasoning could adequately be captured at different levels. Despite the progress that has been achieved, a large avenue remains open for exploration. Indeed, the literature on non-monotonic reasoning has focused almost exclusively on defeasibility of argument forms, whereas belief revision paradigms are restricted to an underlying classical (Tarskian) consequence relation. Moreover, even if some of the issues related to uncertainty in reasoning have been studied using probabilistic approaches and statistical methods, their integration with qualitative frameworks remain a challenge. Finally, well-established approaches are largely based on propositional languages or haunted by the undecidability of full first-order logic. Modern applications require formalisms with a good balance between expressive power and computational complexity. DARe aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, philosophy and related disciplines to discuss these kinds of problems and relevant results in a multi-disciplinary forum. The goal of the workshop is to present latest research developments, to discuss current directions in the field, and to collect first-hand feedback from the community. -- Scope of the Workshop -- DARe welcomes contributions on all aspects of defeasible and ampliative reasoning such as (but not limited to): - Abductive and inductive reasoning - Explanation finding, diagnosis and causal reasoning - Inconsistency handling and exception-tolerant reasoning - Decision-making under uncertainty and incomplete information - Default reasoning, non-monotonic reasoning, non-monotonic logics, conditional logics - Specific instances and variations of ampliative and defeasible reasoning - Probabilistic and statistical approaches to reasoning - Vagueness, rough sets, granularity and fuzzy-logics - Philosophical foundations of defeasibility - Empirical studies of reasoning - Relationship with cognition and language - Contextual reasoning - Preference-based reasoning - Analogical reasoning - Similarity-based reasoning - Belief dynamics and merging - Argumentation theory, negotiation and conflict resolution - Heuristic and approximate reasoning - Defeasible normative systems - Reasoning about actions and change - Reasoning about knowledge and belief, epistemic and doxastic logics - Ampliative and defeasible temporal and spatial reasoning - Computational aspects of reasoning with uncertainty - Implementations and systems - Applications of uncertainty in reasoning [... for more see https://sites.google.com/view/dare-17/] -- Ivan Varzinczak CRIL, Univ.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 5 Feb 2017 08:34:05 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: first and second-order questions In his article "Linearity and Reflexivity in the Growth of Mathematical Knowledge" (1989), Leo Corry writes as follows: > We may distinguish, broadly speaking, two sorts of questions > concerning every scientific discipline. The first sort are questions > about the subject matter of the discipline. The second sort are > questions about the discipline qua discipline, or second-order > questions. It is the aim of the discipline to answer the questions of > the first sort, but usually not to answer questions of the second > sort. These second-order questions concern the methodology, > philosophy, history, or sociology of the discipline and are usually > addressed by an ancillary discipline. (Corry's aim in drawing that distinction, I take it, is to rescue mathematical knowledge from the effects of overstating the case for the sociohistorical dimensions of mathematics that have received much attention in recent decades.) Obviously in the case of mathematics, the prominence of these second-order questions is part of a much larger socio-intellectual shift. But in computer science and in digital humanities these questions would seem to have much more to do with the early stage in which practitioners and others are trying to figure out what the discipline is, to justify it to university administrators, hold funding applicants up to the proper standards and so on. Certain essentially unanswerable questions (e.g. "is it a discipline?") cannot disappear soon enough, but questioning "the methodology, philosophy, history, or sociology of the discipline" is, it seems to me, part of the ongoing growth and development of digital humanities. There is the question of competence to do that, which is a fundamental difficulty of interdisciplinary research unless it be allowed simply to poach where it will. Comments?

A discipline that doesn't question its methods and purposes is doomed to loose soon its vitality. Nor should it demand this kind of questioning to "ancillary" disciplines. I do not think that philosophy, for one, can be conceived of as ancillary to mathematics, or to other disciplines that, on the contrary, as history shows, have stemmed from its domain. And that cannot be the case with digital humanities either, although they be just now in great need of epistemological and methodological questioning—if you would object that my line of argument implies conceiving the digital humanities as a discipline, I would acknowledge, "yes I do". Second-order questioning, if I may add, seems to me in the present situation the outcome of an incoming paradigm shift that tends to comprise in many a discipline the point of view of the observer itself.

We are looking for creative, collaborative leaders in digital humanities and digital arts who think synthetically about scholarship, teaching, and creative endeavors. These new colleagues will join a group of faculty and students at Michigan State University with an energetic focus on humanities questions of race, inclusion, cultural preservation, global interconnectedness, and engaged scholarship. They will be part of the Consortium for Critical Diversity in a Digital Age Research (CEDAR), which serves as an interdisciplinary catalyst for MSU scholars, artists, and teachers who work at the intersections of self/society, digital/material, technology/culture to advance leading-edge scholarship and creative activity that integrates diversity in a digital age. Our aim is to lead a movement in humanities scholarship that engages the contemporary digital world with a discerning sense of critique rooted in ethical imagination and oriented toward creating more just communities. Three broad mission areas shape our initiative for Critical Diversity in a Digital Age: (1) To expose the limits of existing practices and structures of reality in order to interrogate the conditions under which they operate and thus to uncover what they enable and prevent; (2) To discern what is possible in the wake of this exposure so that we might imagine more just possibilities of engagement; (3) To enact practices of justice and freedom rooted in and animated by discerning critique. As an anchoring intellectual disposition, critical diversity signals a perspective on “diversity” that goes beyond that term’s common yoking with “inclusion” to reflect on access to resources, to define problems and establish alliances, and to address actual systems of domination and oppression. The digital humanities can offer powerful tools for analysis, including various forms of digital reading, digital archives, data visualization, and electronic literature. Our initiative understands that these tools are not neutral, but must be interrogated, analyzed, and engaged through an abiding commitment to critical diversity. In this first of a two-phase cluster hire, we seek applications from creative, energetic, and empathetic scholars at the Associate or Full Professor level with a demonstrated record of leadership, achievement, and mentoring who will help further frame, develop, and support our Critical Diversity in a Digital Age initiative.

September 2017 Call for Presentations "Networks in Archaeology and History" Over the last decades, network analysis has made its way from a fringe theory to an established methodology in archaeological and historical research that goes beyond a purely metaphorical use of the network term. A substantial number of studies on different topics and periods have shown that network theories and methods derived from other disciplines (e.g. sociology, economics, physics) can be fruitfully applied to selected bodies of historical and archaeological sources. Yet in many of these initial studies, important methodological concerns regarding the underlying sources, missing data, data standardization and representation of networks in space and time have not been adequately acknowledged and sometimes even completely neglected. In recent years, archeologists and historians – often in collaboration and in exchange with scholars from other disciplines – have taken on the challenge to address these methodological concerns and to adapt and refine network methods and network theory for archaeological and historical research. The aim of this session is to further develop such transdisciplinary collaboration between historians, archaeologists and the EUSN research community. The session invites contributions from researchers applying methods of formal network analysis in archaeological or historical research. A special emphasis of the session will be on the unique challenges that arise in the domain- specific application of these research methods. We welcome submissions on any period, geographical area or topic. The authors may be historians or archaeologists as well as scholars from other disciplines working with historical or archeological data. Abstract submission: Please hand in your abstract via the conference website (http:// www.eusn2017.uni-mainz.de/) and indicate the name of the session: "Networks in Archaeology and History". Abstract submission deadline is March 31st.

For this RIDE issue, we are inviting reviews of digital text collections from all humanities disciplines: literature, linguistics, philosophy, religious studies, historical sciences and others. The term 'œtext collection' is used in a broad sense here and includes all kinds of text sets, including for instance linguistic corpora and digital archives. To guide reviewers through the review process and to create a framework for the evaluation of digital text collections, we provide Criteria for Reviewing Digital Text Collections that are supposed to be applicable to various types of humanities text collections. The guidelines (Version 1.0) can be found here: http://www.i-d-e.de/criteria-text-collections-version-1-0 http://www.i-d-e.de/publikationen/weitereschriften/criteria-text-collections-version-1-0 Reviews are accepted in English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish. The length of the review can vary depending on how much the resource offers that is worthy of discussion (approximately 1000-3000 words). For this special issue, reviews will be accepted until April 10th, 2017. We kindly ask you to email us beforehand at ride-tc@i-d-e.de with a suggestion which resource you would like to review and with a short explanation of your affiliation and area of expertise.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 11:34:22 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: tradeoff I am in the grip of Mary Morgan's fine book, The world in the model: How economists work and think (Cambridge, 2012). You will, I hope, forgive me for yet another reference to it. (A more insightful book on modelling would be hard to find.) In her discussion of the turn of economists to mathematics, spearheaded by William Jevons (1835-1882), she gives this summary of the tradeoff involved: > By his kind of work, methods of creating models of economic man > became inextricably linked with 'formalizing'™. This entailed changing > the language of economics, from the informal and hugely nuanced > possibilities of expression found in our verbal languages (but with > their limited reasoning possibilities) to the more constrained but > more exact and rule-bound symbolic forms of mathematics (with their > greater reasoning powers. (p. 149) For our purposes, and quite beyond them, your favourite programming language can be substituted for "mathematics" in the above, following Michael Mahoney's argument that software is a kind of mathematics, though as yet we don't quite understand what kind. You may wish to dispute Morgan's characterization of the "limited reasoning possibilities" of verbal language and the comparative "greater" attributed to mathematics. But her clear statement of the tradeoff in moving from verbal to mathematical reasoning (incl. software) is worth the price of admission. There's always a tradeoff. This does indeed lead to a question: what, exactly, are the reasoning powers of the "more exact and rule-bound symbolic forms" of software? And this to another: do they, as we humanists often claim, have to be inferior? If not, under what conditions of use? Comments?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 08:18:10 +0100 From: Kai Jakobs Subject: CfP: 22nd Annual EURAS Conference on Standardisation THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS ====================== 22nd EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference - Digitalisation: Challenge and Opportunity for Standardisation - 28 - 30 June 2017 Berlin, Germany Organised by The European Academy for Standardisation (EURAS) TU Berlin & Fraunhofer FOKUS Hosted by DIN e.V. The progressing digitalisation will have disruptive impacts on both the economy and society - speed and complexity of technological change will increase dramatically. These developments will challenge existing institutional frameworks including regulations and standardisation, which will have to be continuously adapted. Moreover, digitalisation drives the convergence of different technologies and even sectors and thus increases the need for new interfaces at various levels. As a result, more standards will be needed, especially at the international level. In addition, the increasing relevance of data protection and security will require an even better co-ordination between standardisation and regulation, which also faces problems of transnational harmonisation. In summary, these challenges driven by digitalisation require comprehensive analyses to adequately inform stakeholders active in standardisation, including standards setting organisations. EURAS 2017 solicits papers on the above theme. However, papers on other standardisation topics will also be considered. Sample topics include: * Standard Reference Architectures * Standards for Systems Engineering * Standards for Converging Technologies * Standardisation Roadmaps * Standardisation and Open Source * Standardisation as a policy tool * Standards as barriers to trade?! * National or international policy and standardisation * Standardisation and Europe's research and innovation agenda * Relation between standardisation and legislation * Standards as a driver for innovation * Standardisation and quality infrastructure * Standardisation and IPR * Standards and knowledge transfer * The impacts of standards and standardisation * Quality of standards * Role of industry and their associations in standardisation * Standardisation via industry consortia * History of standardisation * Standardisation processes Full papers (up to 30 double spaced pages; rtf. .doc or .docx format) should be submitted to Kai Jakobs at Kai.Jakobs@cs.rwth-aachen.de. All papers will be double blind reviewed by members of the Programme Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, as part of the 'EURAS Contributions to Standardisation Research' book series. Particularly good papers will be fast-tracked to the Int. Journal of Standardization Research.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 7 Feb 2017 15:43:32 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: call for proposals Call for proposals Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (1976--) http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20 Background: the journal Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (ISR) is a quarterly journal that aims to set contemporary and historical developments in the natural and social sciences, engineering and technology into their social and cultural contexts and to illumine their interrelations with the humanities and arts. Much more is said about ISR's intellectual project in an editorial that appeared in the journal at the beginning of last year. I attach it, below. Most of ISR's issues are devoted to specific though wide-ranging themes; approximately one issue per year is for unsolicited essays. Examples of the thematic issues from the recent past are the Two Cultures Debate (41.2-3), Software and Scholarship (40.4), Theatre and Science (39.3), Master and Servant in Technoscience (37.4) and Computational Picturing (37.1). In 2010 ISR devoted a double-issue to the work of the historian of ancient science G.E.R Lloyd (35.3-4, freely downloadable). It included an essay by Lloyd, "History and human nature", to which 15 colleagues responded. For 2018 a similar double-issue on the work of anthropologist Tim Ingold is currently underway. The thematic issues are guest-edited; some of them take on a life of their own and become reference points in the fields they address. The call: Interdisciplinary Engineering On behalf of ISR allow me to issue this call for proposals, in the first instance on the topic of engineering with the emphasis on knowing through making and on world-building. Computationally orientated contributions would be welcome, but the aim should be to include a wide range of philosophical, historical, biological and anthropological disciplines. Hands-on, embodied, motile, experimental and exploratory perspectives would be most welcome. Whatever our academic paymasters may say, editing such an issue offers a significant opportunity -- as well as a not insignificant amount of work. Experience suggests, however, that such burdens are light. ISR is completely booked until late 2019, so there is time to find contributors, negotiate with them and manage their submissions. If you are interested please write to me. A proposal should be no more than 2 pages in length. Kindly include a c.v. or URL. I will answer preliminary enquiries promptly. Please do circulate this call to whomever might be interested.

The creation of born-digital editions of classical texts and of digital textual corpora has led to a resurgence of interest in the curation and editing of texts, so that they can be made more broadly accessible online and enhanced with features only possible through digital representation. The aim of this panel is to inform the SCS membership and engage them in a discussion regarding the current state of the art in the curation and publication of digital editions and corpora, as well as likely future directions. Abstracts are invited in two complementary areas. Scholars with experience working with contemporary digital editions and corpora are invited to discuss their experience. This might involve creating a digital edition or corpus, or it might involve a research project that intensively engaged with one. Scholars who have set up digital corpora and/or editing environments, or who work on conventions or other software that underlie such corpora are invited to relate their experience as well. Papers can address completed work, but can also be devoted partly or entirely to ongoing work, problems, or challenges. Anonymous abstracts of no more than 400 words should be sent to digitalclassicsassociation@gmail.com, with identifying information in the email. Abstracts will be refereed anonymously in accordance with SCS regulations. Submitters should confirm in their emails that they are SCS members in good standing. Abstracts should follow the formatting guidelines of the instructions for individual abstracts on the SCS website. The deadline for the submission of abstracts is March 1, 2017.

Digital Frontiers 2017 will take place September 21-23, 2017, at the University of North Texas in Denton. The program committee of Digital Frontiers invites members of the digital humanities community to propose programs that illustrate the creative and collaborative work that is developing in this exciting field. Program content may cover research and projects involving humanities-related new technologies or tools, re-thinking processes or methods, pioneering approaches, surprising partnerships, previously-untapped audiences, innovative uses of digital humanities resources, or intriguing combinations of these characteristics. Proposals that highlight efforts to promote social justice, to involve under-represented groups, or to engage communities outside the academy will be especially welcomed. The committee encourages contributions from anyone who creates or uses digital collections or tools for humanities work, including scholars, historians, educators, genealogists, archivists, technologists, scientists, librarians, curators, and students. We welcome submissions from local and regional historical and genealogical societies, and anyone working in the public humanities to serve the community of practice with which Digital Frontiers identifies.

Although Douglass was born into bondage, and never knew his birthdate, he chose to celebrate every year on February 14. In a spirit of radical love, this year we will commemorate his birthday and Black History Month with a transcribe-a-thon. As students, faculty, staff and community members, we will gather to transcribe the minutes of the 19th-century Colored Conventions. We'll get to work at the University of Delaware and sites around the country. We'll have some birthday cake, singing, and feature a dramatic reading of Douglass' speech from the 1883 national Colored Convention. The event will be streamed online and CCP members will be available to talk with you on Facebook and Twitter. Let's preserve the longer history of Black activism together.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2017 11:24:27 -0500 From: Hannah L Jacobs Subject: A Statement from ADHO on International Conference Travel International conference travel http://adho.org/announcements/2017/statement-international-conference-travel The Chair of the ADHO Steering Committee writes: ADHO is sharply aware of the uncertain political situation in the US, especially in relation to the travel restrictions that were announced, and of the impact this may have on DH in general and all DH conferences to come. DH is a global community, and diversity and inclusivity belong to ADHO’s core professional values. Travel restrictions would greatly harm our community. ADHO shares the concerns of all those affected or troubled by a US travel ban, and we thank the community for continued input and discussion, and its passionate advocacy for justice. Recently, ADHO published the call for bids for DH2020. According to the three-year rotation DH2020 is expected to be hosted in the US or Canada. (See http://adho.org/administration/conference-coordinating/annex-adho-conference-protocol .) People have expressed their concern about that. However, our conference protocols are designed to be maximally flexible and sensitive to all sorts of situations, political and institutional, as we choose conference venues. A lot can change between now and when we make our DH2020 decisions, and we encourage potential hosts in both the US and Canada to consider to put in a bid. We hope both potential hosts and potential attendees will continue to share their concerns and opinions. More practical information will follow in due course. Hannah L.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 11 Feb 2017 12:22:42 +0000 From: "Tanner, Simon" Subject: Institute of English Studies, University of London - In-Reply-To: > From: Simon Eliot [mailto:Simon.Eliot@sas.ac.uk] > Sent: Friday, February 10, 2017 6:11 PM > Subject: FW: Institute of English Studies, University of London - Lecturer in Digital Approaches to Literature The Institute of English Studies (IES), in the School of Advanced Study (SAS) at the University of London, wishes to appoint a Lecturer in the field of Digital Approaches to Literature. The successful person will have expertise in the technical skills essential to digital research, digital scholarly editing, expertise in any area of literary studies and a broad outlook across the whole field. The IES wishes to expand its provision in digitally-based scholarship which currently focuses on textual editing. We are looking for someone with new ideas to enlarge our provision and facilitate the work of others. Areas of interest to us include the following, and candidates will be expected to have demonstrable expertise in one or more of these (which are listed in no order of preference) as well as being informed about digitally-based textual editing. · stylometry · authorship attribution · ‘distant reading’ techniques · ‘big data’ approaches to literary/cultural history · digital publishing · digital preservation · machine learning · network analysis · topic modelling · visualisation S/he should have publications (or equivalent, for example software development) appropriate to career stage and an active research project in the digital field in English. Two further considerations are important. First, SAS has a national mission to facilitate research in the UK. The person appointed will enable the IES to offer research facilitation and support in digital approaches to literature both inside and outside the Institute by, for example, developing partnerships, collaborative projects, workshops, training events or similar. Candidates should have enthusiasm for this ambassadorial and outreach role. A budget will be available to develop these activities, but developing grant applications from external funders for individual or collaborative research will also be a priority. Second, the School has an overall commitment to digitally-based research, and IES is one of nine SAS Institutes. The School’s digital strategy is guided by Jane Winters, SAS Professor of Digital Humanities. The person appointed will work with Professor Winters, and with digital researchers in other SAS Institutes, to enhance the School’s overall digital provision. S/he should therefore be interested in cross-disciplinary approaches and be quick to see the potential of techniques developed elsewhere for research in English.

Rare Book School offers five-day, intensive courses in several locations focused on the history of manuscript, print, and digital materials. Our courses this spring and summer will be held at the University of Virginia, Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Indiana University, Bloomington. Among our more than thirty courses on the history of books and printing, we are pleased to offer courses of interest to those in the field of digital humanities. The following is a sample of the breadth of classes offered: - M-95 “The Medieval Manuscript in the Twenty-First Century,” taught by Will Noel and Dot Porter (University of Pennsylvania) - L-100 “Digital Approaches to Bibliography & Book History,” taught by Benjamin F. Pauley (Eastern Connecticut State University) and Carl G. Stahmer (University of California, Davis) - G-55 “Scholarly Editing: Principles & Practice,” taught by David Vander Meulen (University of Virginia) To be considered in the first round of admissions decisions, course applications should be received no later than 20 February. Applications received after that date will be released for review on a rolling basis. Visit our website at rarebookschool.org for course details. A 2016 RBS student remarked, “I will never look at a book—any book—the same way again,” and so we hope you will join us at an RBS course this year and learn to see books in a new way as well!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 13 Feb 2017 17:08:05 +0000 From: Bethany Nowviskie Subject: Deepening Resolve: a statement from CLIR and DLF Deepening Resolve Core to our mission, CLIR (https://clir.org/) and the Digital Library Federation (https://diglib.org/) stand in resolute support of our dedicated and diverse community of information professionals and organizational sponsors, promoting the fullest and most inclusive vision they may hold of the publics they serve: individuals and institutions that are both stalwart and vulnerable, people living now and generations yet to come. We also stand with our community in determined opposition to any political policies, actions, and divisive ideologies—like those we have observed during the current transition of power in Washington, DC—that contravene our shared, core values of enlightened liberalism and scientific understanding, and threaten our mission to create just, equitable, and sustained global cultures of accessible information. What does this support and opposition mean in practice? For CLIR, the current socio-political situation deepens our resolve to advance the creation, organization, and distribution of knowledge, by fostering imaginative leadership and cross-sector coherence in technology, cultural heritage, and higher education. Our investment has never been more vital, in efforts to create new cohorts of leaders, augment our community’s scholarly and technical expertise, and make primary materials safe and broadly accessible for research and teaching. We do this through the generosity of sponsors, funders, and host institutions. Key projects include: re-granting programs like Digitizing Hidden Special Collections and Archives and Recordings at Risk; our support for the work of CLIR Postdoctoral Fellows, Mellon Fellows for Dissertation Research in Original Sources, and CLIR/DLF Postdocs in Data and Software Curation; our development, in rich collaboration with international partners, of the Digital Library of the Middle East; and our support for professional and organizational advancement through our programs for liberal arts college CIOs and a broader array of practitioners adept in “Leading Change.” Similarly, an evolving, ambitious joint research and publications agenda at CLIR/DLF—centering in a five-year plan to better inform the development of transnational digital library and data repository infrastructures—supports the conviction we and our sponsors, advisors, and board members hold dear: that global and local information systems, wisely constructed, can become instruments of social justice, advancing human capacity and compassionate understanding and helping us to build a kinder, freer, safer world. For its part, DLF reaffirms its staunch commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion as an organization that exists to foster research, learning, social justice and the common good through the creative design and wise application of digital library technologies. As a responsive, action-oriented program of CLIR, we have redoubled our efforts to serve as an amplifying framework for our members’ grassroots activities, particularly supporting the work of individual librarians, museum professionals, archivists, and technologists as community organizers, to connect with their peers across institutional lines and undertake collaborative projects for the purposes of careful analysis, protective action, imaginative response, or necessary resistance: https://www.diglib.org/archives/13044/ DLF working groups are active on issues ranging from: assessment of overarching cultural, economic, and technological factors in the construction and content of digital libraries; increasing coherence in the professional development landscape; improved efficacy and broadened reach in digitization and in teaching and research with digital content; development of best practices for digital library labor rooted in a feminist ethic of care; issues of transparency and accountability in government records and born-digital information; and more. We also see in this light: DLF’s hosting of the National Digital Stewardship Alliance as an organization focused on collective strategies for digital curation and long-term preservation; our programs to connect professional and conference communities through “cross-pollinator” fellowships and our own practitioner-driven DLF Forum; our support of meetings and/or communications platforms for an array of allied groups; our consultative services; our pragmatic attention to diversity and inclusion in all our sponsored events; and our longstanding work in fostering technical standards and incubating inter-institutional projects and platforms. DLF will pay close attention this year to any executive order or piece of legislation that may impact travel and safety for our Forum participants, with whom we stand in solidarity and pledge to assist: https://www.diglib.org/forums/2017forum/ CLIR and DLF exist as focal points for active collaboration and the building of trust across borders of all kinds—a safe harbor for candid, deliberative discourse and collective, inter-institutional work. We hold this characteristic among our most salient contributions to our constituencies. It is our aim to advance, protect, and uphold the values our information communities share, and to help those communities resist counter-forces so that they may create enduring, empowering, charitable futures filled with hope. Regardless of your membership status or affiliation, if you support this mission, we invite you to use CLIR/DLF as a platform, engage with us as fellow-travelers, and direct us as a set of public-spirited services.

July 2017. In-Reply-To: <41E903183B456F4380B1EC7ED9903F578AA7128E@exch-mbx1.marmus.org.uk> Mapping the past, exploiting the future: cartographies and understandings of the Arctic. National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London. 21-22 July 2017. Royal Museums Greenwich will host an interdisciplinary conference which aims to interrogate the processes and products of mapping the Arctic, to coincide with the opening of a major new exhibition, Death in the Ice: the shocking story of Franklin's final expedition, about John Franklin's voyage to look for a North-West Passage, and the searches for those involved which followed. At a moment when the story of Franklin's 1845 expedition is being exploited by various commercial and political interests, we seek to broaden and deepen our understanding of voyages of exploration, surveying and mapping practices, and their subsequent narration. This topic is particularly relevant given increasing nuance in work on the social and political implications of cartography, and recent moves in the history of cartography to include work on reception and use. Although the Franklin voyage and searches are the taking off point for the conference, we are interested in papers dealing with cartography in this region from the sixteenth century to the present day. We particularly encourage papers on (though not limited to) the following themes: - surveying and resource exploitation - countermapping in the Arctic - Inuit mapping traditions and understandings of the landscape - relationships between different genres of inscription - mapping and surveying in unstable environments - mapping and geopolitics - administrative cartography and international law We anticipate papers will be 20 minutes, with additional time for questions.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2017 07:45:38 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: hands on There are a number of practices in which physical craftsmanship and digital making rub up against each other if not mingle, even interpenetrate. Let's think about these practices for a moment. It may be that my personal history and training exert a prejudicial influence that limits the appeal of how I think about digital humanities. Perhaps that history and training explain why in reading Tim Ingold's illuminating book, Making: Anthropology, archaeology, art and architecture (2013), I am drawn eagerly to the pedagogical expressions of his anthropology in such class exercises as weaving baskets and see in them (changing what needs to be changed) a model for training digital humanists. The link between baskets and computing was made explicit to me this morning by the announcement of the Rare Book Summer School (Humanist 30.742), which quoted a former student as saying, "œI will never look at a book -- ”any book -- ”the same way again." (Would that all digitizers of books had such experience!) As a much younger man I once studied and then taught bookbinding, and then as a graduate student at Toronto studied analytical bibliography, and so, yes, have never looked at a book -- any book -- the same way again. But the lesson from those experiences and others, the acquiring of 'Fingerspitzengefühl' as experimental physicists call it, grew from books and writing to flesh out and animate the idea of craftsmanship. And that in turn (I am guessing!) has had much to do with how I think about computing, down to the extravagant engineering of the hardware so well concealed and so important in the machines we use. Programming is one way of teaching our digital makers, but I fear that it is too much in the head to make that link with craftsmanship. (Long ago I took to assembler-language programming immediately because -- more guessing -- I already had the feeling for it from making things with wood and metal as a child.) Physical bibliography is closer, bookbinding and calligraphy closer yet. What would you recommend?

In-Reply-To: <20170214083118.A26B38606@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, It would involve non trivial preparation and in itself would not be trivial and effortless, but neither is computing: I'd recommend a clock makers workshop. - Clock making is a highly skilled craft, yet with proper means and instruction anyone can device a simple mechanical clock. - It requires understanding of transformation, mechanism, formalization. - Clocks have an interface (the hour plate and hands). - They have discrete parts with discrete functions (the minute hand and its wheel, the escapement, the pendulum/spring). - They have input (gravity) and output (time indication, not time itself obviously, however convenient it would be). - A workshop is probably doable by using Legos as course material. I admit that it is less intimate to humanities than calligraphy or bibliography, but a nice philosophical/historical lecture on the relation between time and humans could mitigate that maybe? If anyone is organizing one for DH2018, I'd like to reserve a spot.

In-Reply-To: <20170214083118.A26B38606@digitalhumanities.org> One thing that has a sense of good craftsmanship about it is 'hand-making' an epub. You might use a tool like Calibre for example to start an ebook from scratch, adding pages, modifying the contents, title page and style. The point is to write your own HTML and CSS, analogous to shaping the 'material' from which the product is constructed. In this way, with experience, you learn about good clean, efficient markup and elegant ways to solve particular problems. You learn better techniques, tricks of the trade and understand how to customise any aspect of it. It becomes quicker and easier and more error free than using any automated conversion tool. When you compare a 'hand made' ebook the markup generated by conversion tools from other sources such as MS Word looks like garbage. You acquire an aesthetic appreciation for the code itself, as a craftsperson does for the signs of work well done. It will never compare to tactile products and work, but it certainly does involve an appreciation for the quality of the way the work is done beyond the practical utility and cosmetic appeal of the product.

In-Reply-To: 1st International Conference on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK 2017) Submission deadline extended until 23 February. http://www.ldk2017.org/ The new biennial conference series on Language, Data and Knowledge (LDK) aims at bringing together researchers from across disciplines concerned with the acquisition, curation and use of language data in the context of data science and knowledge-based applications. With the advent of the Web and digital technologies, an ever increasing amount of language data is now available across application areas and industry sectors, including social media, digital archives, company records, etc. The efficient and meaningful exploitation of this data in scientific and commercial innovation is at the core of data science research, employing NLP and machine learning methods as well as semantic technologies based on knowledge graphs Language data is of increasing importance to machine learning-based approaches in NLP, Linked Data and Semantic Web research and applications that depend on linguistic and semantic annotation with lexical, terminological and ontological resources, manual alignment across language or other human-assigned labels. The acquisition, provenance, representation, maintenance, usability, quality as well as legal, organizational and infrastructure aspects of language data are therefore rapidly becoming major areas of research that are at the focus of the conference. Knowledge graphs is an active field of research concerned with the extraction, integration, maintenance and use of semantic representations of language data in combination with semantically or otherwise structured data, numerical data and multimodal data among others. Knowledge graph research builds on the exploitation and extension of lexical, terminological and ontological resources, information and knowledge extraction, entity linking, ontology learning, ontology alignment, semantic text similarity, Linked Data and other Semantic Web technologies. The construction and use of knowledge graphs from language data, possibly and ideally in the context of other types of data, is a further specific focus of the conference. A further focus of the conference is the combined use and exploitation of language data and knowledge graphs in data science-based approaches to use cases in industry, including biomedical applications, as well as use cases in humanities and social sciences. The LDK conference has been initiated by a consortium of researchers from the Insight Centre for Data Analytics, InfAI (University Leipzig) and Wolfgang Goethe University and a Scientific Committee of leading researchers in Natural Language Processing, Linked Data and Semantic Web, Language Resources and Digital Humanities. LDK is endorsed by several international organisations: DBpedia, ACL SIGANN, Global Wordnet Association, CLARIN and Big Data Value Association (BDVA). The first edition, LDK 2017, will be held in Galway (Ireland) with a second edition planned for 2019 in Leipzig (Germany).

The SD-LLOD datathon has the main goal of giving people from industry and academia practical knowledge in the field of Linked Data applied to Linguistics. The final aim is to allow participants to migrate their own (or other’s) linguistic data and publish them as Linked Data on the Web.

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. 2017 Focus, and Call for Proposals: For our 2017 mini-conference and meeting, we invite proposals for lightning talks and points of discussion from all those involved in DH training on all topics relating to DH training. We welcome proposals with a focus on ● ways in which individual universities, colleges, and other educational institutions are extending DH in the classroom. ● implementing DH pedagogical frameworks locally and working across institutions and training institutes to develop and collaborate on materials that can inform ways in which DH offerings and programs are formalized. ● assessment techniques in DH curriculum. What types of assessment should occur in digital humanities courses? And, significantly, how might these assessment practices challenge existing university or community-based outcomes? We particularly desire talks that include involvement of students who have been assessed. ● discussion of pedagogical materials, pre-circulated for critique and consideration. We are particularly interested in the submission of specific syllabi, tutorials, exercises, learning outcomes, assessment and rubrics that attendees might complete during the workgroup portion of the mini-conference. ● any topics that might further inform our discussion about DH training. Please send proposals of 1-2 pages with the subject heading “DH Pedagogy” to Ray Siemens, siemens@uvic.ca, by 1 March 2017. Please note that all participants and attendees will need to be registered for DH2017. _______________________________________________ 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 E77748A44; Thu, 16 Feb 2017 07:59:20 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 21DC08A3D; Thu, 16 Feb 2017 07:59:20 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 78BFC8A3D; Thu, 16 Feb 2017 07:59:16 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170216065916.78BFC8A3D@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 07:59:16 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.750 hands on 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: <20170216065920.12959.80516@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 750.

But to step back a bit, to what extent is the digital humanities really a study of information processing and management within the broader context of culture? I would vote for the latter, as we all tend to become enamored of “the digital.” This may sound peculiar coming from a computer scientist, but the field (CS) needs the humanities at least with respect to history. Clocks are definitely one of many technologies that contain key concepts and elements of what we now term “programming.” To the extent that clocks, and classical automata, are not covered in CS classes is due to the evolution of engineering education where the curriculum has no room for history due to external, vocationally-driven, pressures. I can understand the pragmatics of this shift, but believe it is up to those of us on the edge (digital humanities, arts & technology) to create a way forward. I am working on an honors class syllabus proposal where the focus is on an experiential approach. But, there are major challenges. Demonstrating that a gear train is like a subroutine, and that the train computes through multiplying ratios may not satisfy everyone. -paul Paul Fishwick, PhD Distinguished University Chair of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication Professor of Computer Science Director, Creative Automata Laboratory The University of Texas at Dallas Arts & Technology 800 West Campbell Road, AT10 Richardson, TX 75080-3021 Home: utdallas.edu/atec/fishwick Blog 1: medium.com/@metaphorz Twitter: twitter.com/@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 5A9E38A48; Thu, 16 Feb 2017 08:01:13 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 84E898A3E; Thu, 16 Feb 2017 08:01:12 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id AB44E8A3B; Thu, 16 Feb 2017 08:01:10 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170216070110.AB44E8A3B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2017 08:01:10 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.751 assoc/full professorships (Michigan State) 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: <20170216070113.13817.72006@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 751.

Rachman" Subject: Job Listing: Michigan State University Critical Diversity in the Digital Age English Department Michigan State University College of Arts & Letters / College of Social Science Critical Diversity in a Digital Age Cluster The College of Arts & Letters and the College of Social Science at Michigan State University seek a group of culturally engaged digital arts and humanities scholars to join a transformative initiative to explore, interrogate, and cultivate Critical Diversity in a Digital Age. We are looking for creative, collaborative leaders in digital humanities and digital arts who think synthetically about scholarship, teaching, and creative endeavors. These new colleagues will join a group of faculty and students at Michigan State University with an energetic focus on humanities questions of race, inclusion, cultural preservation, global interconnectedness, and engaged scholarship. They will be part of the Consortium for Critical Diversity in a Digital Age Research (CEDAR), which serves as an interdisciplinary catalyst for MSU scholars, artists, and teachers who work at the intersections of self/society, digital/material, technology/culture to advance leading-edge scholarship and creative activity that integrates diversity in a digital age. Our aim is to lead a movement in humanities scholarship that engages the contemporary digital world with a discerning sense of critique rooted in ethical imagination and oriented toward creating more just communities. Three broad mission areas shape our initiative for Critical Diversity in a Digital Age: (1) To expose the limits of existing practices and structures of reality in order to interrogate the conditions under which they operate and thus to uncover what they enable and prevent; (2) To discern what is possible in the wake of this exposure so that we might imagine more just possibilities of engagement; (3) To enact practices of justice and freedom rooted in and animated by discerning critique. As an anchoring intellectual disposition, critical diversity signals a perspective on “diversity” that goes beyond that term’s common yoking with “inclusion” to reflect on access to resources, to define problems and establish alliances, and to address actual systems of domination and oppression. The digital humanities can offer powerful tools for analysis, including various forms of digital reading, digital archives, data visualization, and electronic literature. Our initiative understands that these tools are not neutral, but must be interrogated, analyzed, and engaged through an abiding commitment to critical diversity. In this first of a two-phase cluster hire, we seek applications from creative, energetic, and empathetic scholars at the Associate or Full Professor level with a demonstrated record of leadership, achievement, and mentoring who will help further frame, develop, and support our Critical Diversity in a Digital Age initiative. For full description of the Critical Diversity in a Digital Age initiative, see www.cal.msu.edu/criticaldiversity. Michigan State University, the nation's pioneer land-grant university, member of the Association of American Universities (AAU), and one of the top 100 research universities in the world, was founded in 1855. We are an inclusive, academic community known for our traditionally strong academic disciplines and professional programs, and our liberal arts foundation. Our cross- and interdisciplinary enterprises connect the sciences, humanities, and professions in practical, sustainable, and innovative ways to address society’s rapidly changing needs. LITERARY STUDIES AND THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES The Department of English at Michigan State University invites applications for a scholar, at the level of Associate or Full Professor, whose work connects literary studies and the digital humanities to critical diversity. The College’s initiative – Critical Diversity in a Digital Age – will facilitate research programs, develop new curricula, and seek external funding for scholarship at the intersections of digital theory and practice with issues of social justice and human difference, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, and religion. Within the Department of English, this position will foreground literature’s singular ability to shape and critique ideas about our common humanity through the study of history, identity, belief, narrative, and other socially embedded imaginative forms. The Department of English seeks a colleague committed to critical diversity and whose work bridges literary studies and the digital humanities in innovative, field-defining ways. The successful candidate will help establish the interdisciplinary Critical Diversity in a Digital Age consortium that, with its focus on critical diversity, will distinguish MSU’s intellectual contributions to the digital humanities. Our new colleague will find faculty in the Department of English who foreground scholarly and pedagogical interest in critical diversity across many subfields, including literature, film studies, creative writing, popular culture, and English education. Our Department also features cross-field areas of study, such as black literature, film, and culture; empire and globalization studies; feminisms, genders, sexualities; film, visual culture, and digital media; modern, contemporary, emergent; and neuro-literary studies. We look forward to welcoming a scholar and teacher who will complement our strengths and help develop new directions, particularly in our literary studies program. This is an academic-year, tenure-system faculty appointment to begin August 16, 2017 at the earliest. Applicants are expected to hold a Ph.D. in English or in a related Digital Humanities field or discipline. Review of applications will begin March 1, 2017, and will continue until the position is filled. Applications must be submitted electronically to the Michigan State University Human Resources website (https://jobs.msu.edu/). Posting #4872. Applications should include a letter expressing interest in this position and describing qualifications and experience, a current curriculum vitae, a sample of work (link or document) in the literary digital humanities with a focus on critical diversity, and the names and email addresses of 3 potential referees.

The advent of digital media has underlined the importance of visual culture and our curiosity in representations of the body to form opinions about ourselves and others. Media portrayals of bodies can affect our lives because media are one of the primary agents of socialization (Moore and Kosut, 2010). Bodies we see in newspapers, on television and in our social media feeds are often made to appear perfect in order to conform to racialized and heteronormative ideals of what it means to be beautiful and normal in contemporary capitalist societies. Presentations of the body that are white, young, slim and productive have been critiqued from different fields in academia such as feminism, queer theory, disability studies, critical theory and postcolonial studies. The digital media landscape is posing new challenges to the study of body representation. The Internet and social media in particular have led to an increased representation and engagement with the body through practices such as selfies, webcamming, blogging, vlogging and so on. While digital media may contribute to an empowerment of excluded and silenced bodies, they may equally open up spaces of discrimination, threats, hatred, trolling and silencing online, as the #gamergate controversy or author Lizzie Velásquez’ self-presentation on social media have recently illustrated. A critical approach to representations of bodies and disability is therefore essential as a means of change (Bolt, 2014). This conference aims to develop a new understanding of disability and the media in the 21st century by establishing a dialogue between different scholars on the theme of body representations. In particular, we seek to formulate new questions to comprehend how the tension between non-digital and digital media is creating spaces for new ways of framing disabled bodies. How are new narratives being developed to recount diversity? What is their function? What is the relationship between representation of the body in news outlets and self-representation on social media? What are the epistemological opportunities the media could embrace in order to promote equality, health literacy and ultimately, a more comprehensive understanding of what it means to be human? We encourage interdisciplinary paper presentations of 15 minutes that aim to explore how narratives and images of other bodies are constructed in the media and what their aesthetic, social, cultural, epistemological and political implications are. Papers may draw on media and communication studies, as well as queer theory, disability studies, postcolonial studies, feminist theory, critical theory, psychoanalysis, psychosocial studies, literature, history, visual studies, anthropology, health communication, religious studies, medicine and philosophy. Possible themes include but are not limited to: - Researching bodies and the media: frameworks and methodologies - Journalism and practices of othering the body - The mediated body as spectacle - Celebrity bodies and the spectacles of transformation - The abject body - Stigma and the body - De-colonizing and de-westernising the mediated body - Neoliberalism, policy and austerity politics - (Dis)Empowerments of the disabled body - The objectification of the disabled body in the media - Contemporary coverage of disability in print/online/television/radio - Reality television and the body - Auto-ethnographic accounts of the body in / through digital media - The medicalised body in the media - Representing wounds and scars - Affective labour of bodies - The body and trauma This conference is part of the research project ‘Facial Disfigurement in the UK Media: From Print to Online’, led by Dr. Diana Garrisi (University of Westminster) and Dr. Jacob Johanssen (University of Westminster) that is financed through the University of Westminster Strategic Research Fund. Invited speakers include Henrietta Spalding, Head of Advocacy at the UK charity Changing Faces (http://www.changingfaces.org.uk/).

I admit to owning a mobile phone (cheapest one I could find as a compromise with none at all) yet it has I have just discovered a beautiful interface for setting the alarm time: one changes two sets of digits separately, one for the hour, one for the minutes and at the same time sees an 'analogue' version (i.e. a normal clock face) change in concord. This sounds unremarkable, and in fact some would criticise it as an interface because the clock face is obviously redundant. However for some reason I have not yet figured out, this interface is very pleasing to me. A pair of unequal length sticks rotating on the same pivot at different rates past an anulus of numbers is analogous to time in representing continuity, though by having an hour hand to accumulate the minute hand travel seems ot represent discontinuity. The first thing anyone notices who designs a software system and then tries to optimise for one aspect of 'usability' - response time - is that a second is a long time - a wait - to the mind; and what happens when you 'wait' for the system? The precise mediated and meditated interaction between mind and mechanism which is what one thinks about when (I presume) one builds a clock would be a delight to explore in a clock-making session at a DH conference, as Joris suggests.

In-Reply-To: <20170214083118.A26B38606@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, It would involve non trivial preparation and in itself would not be trivial and effortless, but neither is computing: I'd recommend a clock makers workshop. - Clock making is a highly skilled craft, yet with proper means and instruction anyone can device a simple mechanical clock. - It requires understanding of transformation, mechanism, formalization. - Clocks have an interface (the hour plate and hands). - They have discrete parts with discrete functions (the minute hand and its wheel, the escapement, the pendulum/spring). - They have input (gravity) and output (time indication, not time itself obviously, however convenient it would be). - A workshop is probably doable by using Legos as course material. I admit that it is less intimate to humanities than calligraphy or bibliography, but a nice philosophical/historical lecture on the relation between time and humans could mitigate that maybe? If anyone is organizing one for DH2018, I'd like to reserve a spot.

This is such an annoying question to ask and be asked. I would probably answer that no research or project that is deep and truly groundbreaking, whether in DH or outside it, could be summed and explained in an elevator talk, but I am sure like me you keep being asked these questions and are in need of such examples. My favorite choices became slightly outdated, and are still a bit too complicated to explain so I would really appreciate your ideas, and if this has been discussed and answered, here or elsewhere, in the last 3-4 years, I apologize and would be grateful if you could point me there.

As part of a wider critical debate on the rhetoric of ‘big data’, philosophical discussions are now focused on the practices involved in the use of data in specific scientific disciplines, documenting challenges and benefits of working with data and studying the ethical dimensions of what is known as “data-intensive science”. This workshop is aimed at promoting and further expanding this line of research, by focusing on a number of particularly important questions for the debate: Discussions on these issues will follow a practice-based approach to philosophy of science, thus aiming at studying actual contexts of practice in the sciences, as well as at improving and advancing scientific practice itself by highlighting its potentially problematic aspects. How to submit an abstract Philosophers of science and researchers from other areas with interests in these issues, including PhD candidates and early career researchers, are encouraged to submit an abstract of up to 500 words. Abstract should be sent in anonymised version to permit blinded review. Please state your name, affiliation and title of the abstract only in the body of your email. The final deadline for abstract submission is 2 June 2017. • What is the role played by ‘traditional’ aspects of scientific research (e.g. experiments, causal discovery, etc.) in data-intensive science? • Which kind of practical and methodological issues are part of scientific practices involved in the use of (big) data? • Which modes of integration are made necessary by the need of using different kinds of data regarding significantly different phenomena? • Which role should we conceive for values in data-intensive science? • Does data-intensive science entail new aspects of responsibility? If so, which notion of responsibility do we need and which aspects should we highlight? Please send your contributions to admissions@philos.uni-hannover.de. Bursaries We applied for funding and we hope to be able to offer support to help cover the travel costs for contributed speakers. Registration Registration is free, but please send an email to Stefano Canali to register: stefano.canali@philos.uni-hannover.de. Organisation and Contact The workshop is organised by Stefano Canali, Mathias Frisch and Thomas Reydon, Institute of Philosophy, Leibniz Universität Hannover.

April 6th events are open to the public. To register for April 7th events, see http://cdrh.unl.edu/neforum This year’s Nebraska Forum on Digital Humanities will feature scholars and projects that foster meaningful engagement with diverse, typically under-represented communities. We hope to encourage the digital humanities community to create and employ critical technologies and methodologies in concert with and in relationship to more public forms of scholarship. The participants are each involved in projects and research that work to uncover traditionally silenced or under-represented communities, challenging systems of discrimination. With this forum, we hope to encourage the digital humanities community to create and employ critical technologies and methodologies in concert with and in relationship to more public forms of scholarship. These projects provide potential models of engagement using the digital medium to move scholarship and scholarly activity through communities. Topics of discussion will include: What contributions can digital scholars offer community-based social justice initiatives? What new audiences for digital scholarship are there and how do they form? How do digital projects circulate scholarly work in communities? What are the implications of engaging in public-facing scholarship? The forum will open with a keynote panel and reception on Thursday, April 6th at the UNL Center for Great Plains Studies. April 6th events are open to the public. On Friday, April 7th, invited scholars will share their research and engage in discussion. Speakers are: T. L. Cowan Assistant Professor, Digital Cultural Practices, Department of Arts, Culture and Media and Faculty of Information, University of Toronto. Cowan was a 2016-17 Presidential Visiting Fellow and Digital Humanities Fellow at Yale University. Cowan is currently co-director with Moya Bailey of the Center for Solutions to Online Violence (CSOV), which is a collaborative project between the Digital Alchemists and the Feminist Technology Network. She is developing Cabaret Commons—a digital project creating a hybrid curated and user-generated digital archive of live performance that works towards a responsive, dynamic and ethical model of performance archives online, one that documents performers and performances and attends to the central role of audiences in sustaining grassroots trans- feminist and queer cultures. Jim Gerencser College Archivist, Waidner-Spahr Library, Dickinson College, Co-Director of the Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center. This project aims to develop a fully searchable, comprehensive database of Carlisle Indian School resources, including the US National Archives, Bureau of Indian Affairs records pertaining to the Carlisle Indian School. Gerencser is interested in increasing digital access to Dickinson College’s unique resources, and has participated in many digital projects that highlight special collections resources. He is an active member of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference, and previously served as Treasurer. Emily Hainze Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow, Heyman Center for the Humanities, Columbia University. Hainze is a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia's Justice-in-Education Initiative, where she is involved in two digital projects centered on incarceration and the criminal justice system. Her book project focuses on the literary and cultural history of the women's prison as it was established as a separate institution in the late 19th and early 20th century US. Prior to her graduate study at Columbia, she investigated police misconduct for the City of New York. She was a recipient of the Mellon CLIR Fellowship for Dissertation Research in Original Sources from 2013-14. As a public humanities fellow at Columbia's Heyman Center for the Humanities, Hainze worked to develop an online repository for digitized archival records of women and imprisonment, with an eye towards classroom use. Hainze was formerly one of the participants in The Prison Public Memory Project. Christy Hyman Director of GPUMC Archives-Cochrane-Woods Library at Nebraska Wesleyan University; Ph.D. Candidate, Department of History, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. A native of North Carolina, Hyman's research focuses on the societal and ideological tensions inherent in the United States South during the nineteenth century. Her current study is a digital narrative that emphasizes the spatial dimensions of enslaved runaway flight in eastern North Carolina’s Great Dismal Swamp region from 1805-1840. Her dissertation research documents and explores the imagined and physical spaces of 'hiding' that enslaved people used to resist enslavement. In particular, Hyman traces the local spaces of laying away that played an active, ongoing, repetitive role in slave societies and how the enslaved configured these spaces. Susan A. Rose Charles A. Dana Professor of Sociology, Director of the Community Studies Center, Dickinson College, Co-Director of the Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center. This project aims to develop a fully searchable, comprehensive database of Carlisle Indian School resources, including the US National Archives, Bureau of Indian Affairs records pertaining to the Carlisle Indian School. Rose specializes in the sociology of religion, family, and education; violence; indigenous studies; and inequality, race, and gender studies. Her recent book, The Carlisle Indian Industrial School: Indigenous Histories, Memories, and Reclamations, was named one of the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Best Books of 2016. Adam Rothman Professor of History, Georgetown University, Principal Curator of the Georgetown Slavery Archive, a project of Georgetown University’s Working Group on Slavery, Memory, and Reconciliation. This project is researching and compiling the archival materials related to Jesuit slaveholding and the 1838 sale of 272 slaves to Louisiana. Rothman’s recent book, Beyond Freedom’s Reach: A Kidnapping in the Twilight of Slavery, has been named a Humanities Book of the Year by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, and it has received the Jefferson Davis Book Award from the American Civil War Museum, and the Margaret T. Lane/Virginia F. Saunders Memorial Research Award from the Government Documents Roundtable of the American Library Association. Rothman is also an OAH distinguished lecturer. Brandi M. Waters Ph.D. Candidate, Department of History and African American Studies, Yale University. She is a Digital Humanities Fellow at the DHLab at Yale. She specializes in colonial Latin American history. Waters is interested in the influence of slavery on developing legal and medical institutions in Latin America and the Atlantic World. Her current project examines the impact of slavery on institutional approaches to disability in New Granada (Colombia) and Philadelphia in the late eighteenth-century, and specifically how enslaved people shaped perceptions of physical and mental disabilities while adapting to different legal, cultural, and demographic settings.

In-Reply-To: <20170217061220.328678A11@digitalhumanities.org> I’m pretty impressed by Tim Tangherlini’s recent work on fake news: http://www.cdh.ucla.edu/news-events/the-internet-narrative-and-truth/. He’s a folklorist, and teamed up with a data scientist and a public health researcher to look at how myths about vaccines spread through social networks. It is timely, and it couldn’t possibly have been done without the humanities expert. Sincerely, John A.

Wall (North Carolina State). But before getting in the proverbial lift/elevator and finding that resistant colleague, my imagined persuader would have to have read Wall's essay, "Gazing into imaginary spaces: Digital modeling and the representation of reality", New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies 6 (2016). The website's clicking-gazing-reading would not be enough to prepare my persuader; slow reading and mulling over of the essay would be needed. And, I think, that says something about how a project is communicated. Is it the case that important digital things require intelligent use for their import to be understood, hence textual commentary for them to be understood by a non-participant observer? If I were to come up with a caveat, it would orbit that word 'representation' in the title of the essay. What I think is the most dangerous and exciting aspect of this project is that its trajectory leaves representation far behind. Were I the accidental persuader, that's the point at which I'd want to be putting the emphasis.

Writing in the mid 1970s for the journal Leonardo, operations researcher Michael Thompson observed that "when the user directly 'converses'™ with the machine the almost instantaneous replies immediately suggest the possibility of improvisations, as if on a musical instrument" (1974: 227). His analogy --“ researcher is to computer as musician is to instrument --“ points back to the cybernetics of human-machine systems, and that in turn back to all manner of physical intimacy with tools, with the affordances of the world, including living beings with each other. In Making, Ingold includes the watch-maker and the cellist. But he also comes down rather hard on modern interfaces for writing -- the typewriter and its digital imitation -- which do rather badly in comparison with pen and paper. He does not mention the mouse. I wonder, what would be a persuasive answer to his objection? Would it lie in the direction of further study into what happens when we write with a computer? (Does the investment shift from fingers to the kinaesthesis of language in subvocalisation?) Would it lie in work on a return to conversational modes of communication, beginning with speech-recognition, moving on to gestures, facial expressions -- i.e. to face-to-face conversation, of which Skype is a primitive foretaste? Is this direction of thought retrograde, too either/or? Are we poorer for all our gadgets or simply different? In yet another response to Sinai Rusinek's question about "DH knockouts", let me ask, what interface, if any, would answer Ingold's objection? What interface would take the next step beyond the McGann-Drucker Ivanhoe?

Paul, I think we should not too easily mix clocks with software implemented automata. Software is strange stuff, very strange stuff, in comparison with the material stuffs we make other things from. Within its realm of existence--as [amazingly] useful and usable enough approximations to Turning Machines--computer programs are immensely un-constrained: there's very little to stop you doing anything with software stuff. This is not the case for material stuffs. The physics underlying them constrains what you can make with these stuffs. We must learn about these, and how to work with them, but they help a lot in bringing about robust, reliable, and understandable things ... like clocks. The physical constraints introduce useful intrinsic properties that can be used to achieve self-regulating and self-correcting behaviours. The physics is different, but this is the case for the frequency sources in all kinds of clocks: a component that all clock need and have. (Clocks, through the ages, have been on the front of what we can make reliable. Few things we can make more reliable. Yet, they have no regulator as a necessary part of them, unlike almost all other machines.) Hands on brings us up to and into contact with the consequences of the underlying physics, and chemistry, and biology, and ecology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and fundamental human-ness of the things we design and make for ourselves from the different stuffs we have discovered and developed. It makes the rest of this message long, but here are three different examples of "hands on" that I like, and are of a Tim Ingold kind. With apologies to those who already know these, they are: 1 Glass An exuberant 1958 Oscar-winning film about glass-blowing, automation and all that jazz Bert Haanstra -- 10 minutes 29 minutes Once called the 'eighth wonder of the world' by Thomas Edison, Linotype typecasting machines revolutionised publishing when they were invented in 1886, and remained the industry standard for nearly a century after. The first commercially successful mechanical typesetter, the Linotype significantly sped up the printing process, allowing for larger and more local daily newspapers. In Farewell, etaoin shrdlu (the latter portion of the title taken from the nonsense words created by running your fingers down the letters of the machine’s first two rows), the former New York Times proofreader David Loeb Weiss bids a loving farewell to the Linotype by chronicling its final day of use at the Times on 1 July 1978. An evenhanded treatment of the unremitting march of technological progress, Weiss’s film about an outmoded craft is stylistically vintage yet also immediate in its investigation of modernity. Director: David Loeb Weiss, Producer: Carl Schlesinger This film nicely shows, I think, how much has changed in the way of making printed words, and the care and attention needed to do this well. And it captures the start on the road to the less and less costly making of published words, which seems to have cheapened so many of them today. Perhaps so much so that many published words today are empty of meaning and truth. 3 The Megaprocessor by James Newman http://www.megaprocessor.com To me, this is an example of some imaginative and wonderful scholarship: perhaps, a kind of Digital Humanities scholarship? It's a beautiful way to understand the physics of the electronics that forms the needed foundation of all software stuff, and it helps, I think, to show how software stuff becomes liberated from physical constraints as you move up from the transistor to the programmable computer. (And it's a nice example of how hands on can result in things getting out of hand in creative and unexpected ways. If we can't put our hands on it, it getting out of hand can't happen.) From the Extreme Tech report on the Megaprocessor ... Newman notes that his project started as an attempt to understand the operation of a transistor, before noting "I didn't plan on ending up here. I started by wanting to learn about transistors. Things got out of hand." When you start off wanting to learn about transistors, and instead build a giant implementation of one that fills most of a house, that seems an apt way to describe the situation. What drove Newman was wanting to be able to show, viscerally, how data moves across a CPU as it executes a program. "Computers are quite opaque," Newman said. "Looking at them, it's impossible to see how they work. What I would like to do is get inside and see what's going on. Trouble is we can't shrink down small enough to walk inside a silicon chip. But we can go the other way; we can build the thing big enough that we can walk inside it. Not only that we can also put LEDs on everything so we can actually SEE the data moving and the logic happening. It's going to be great." Meet the Megaprocessor: A 20kHz behemoth CPU you can actually see in action By Joel Hruska on July 6 I hope this isn't all too big a hand-full for one DH List post.

This sounds unremarkable, and in fact some would criticise it as an interface because the clock face is obviously redundant. However for some reason I have not yet figured out, this interface is very pleasing to me. A pair of unequal length sticks rotating on the same pivot at different rates past an anulus of numbers is analogous to time in representing continuity, though by having an hour hand to accumulate the minute hand travel seems ot represent discontinuity. The first thing anyone notices who designs a software system and then tries to optimise for one aspect of 'usability' - response time - is that a second is a long time - a wait - to the mind; and what happens when you 'wait' for the system? The precise mediated and meditated interaction between mind and mechanism which is what one thinks about when (I presume) one builds a clock would be a delight to explore in a clock-making session at a DH conference, as Joris suggests. > > Susan > (susan.ford@anu.edu.au) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 610078A47; Sat, 18 Feb 2017 08:08:46 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9662A8862; Sat, 18 Feb 2017 08:08:45 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5FE8E8A3E; Sat, 18 Feb 2017 08:08:43 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20170218070843.5FE8E8A3E@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 18 Feb 2017 08:08:43 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.758 pubs: open data / open access 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: <20170218070846.29519.91334@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 758.

Commenting on Richard Hamming's great essay, "We would know what they thought when they did it" (in A History of Computing in the Twentieth Century, ed. Metropolis, Howlett and Rota), Mike Mahoney commented that on two counts his emphasis on doing has special force in the history of computing: > First, whatever the theoretical content of the subject, the main > object of computing has been to do something, or rather to make the > computer do something. Successful practice has been the prime measure > of effective theory. Second, the computer embodies a historically > unique relation of thinking and doing. It is the first machine for > doing thinking. (Histories of Computing, p. 87) Note that last sentence. In Making (2013) Tim Ingold takes up Michael Polanyi's notion of "tacit knowledge" but makes a distinction between 'knowing' and 'telling' to argue for the expressiveness of work with the hands, for "telling by hand" (p. 109). He is one among a number of anthropologists who have taken up things made by hand as key for understanding and communicating with others, e.g. Henare, Holbraad and Westel, Thinking through things (2009), Lave, Cognition in practice: Mind, mathematics and culture in everyday life (1988), Chaiklin and Lave, ed., Understanding practice: Perspectives on activity and context (1996). Studies in the technosciences sciences also come to mind, e.g. Daston, ed., Things that talk (2004). Summed up, these writings suggest that computational things in the making and use are a (or the?) primary mode by which digital humanities communicates (or communes), hands on. But, again, here we are in that lift/elevator, or taxicab, or corridor buttonholed by a curious or frustrated colleague -- many circumstances where only words are possible, to say nothing of the great majority of those whom we will never meet. To say nothing of ourselves requiring language to bring insight from the tool ready-at-hand into consciousness (if that's the right way of putting it). Simply "behold!" won't do. Again to paraphrase Alan Liu, where is the artefactual criticism to go along with the exemplary projects we cite? What, exactly, will we say in that lift? (The ghost of Jonathan Swift is there with his heavy load to remind us there is a problem.)

In-Reply-To: <20170217061220.328678A11@digitalhumanities.org> I'd like to suggest the Historical Thesaurus of English (http://historicalthesaurus.arts.gla.ac.uk/), which began in 1965, became a digital project in the 1970s, launched in 2010 and is still an active research project today. It contains almost 800,000 words from Old English to the present day, arranged into more than 220,000 semantic categories. You can use the search facilities to pinpoint the range of meanings of a word throughout its history, their synonyms, and their relationship to words of more general or more specific meaning. In addition to providing hitherto unavailable information for linguists, historians of language, authors, students of English, and textual scholars, it also offers a rich and unparalleled resource for investigating social and cultural history, showing the development of concepts through the words that refer to them. You can some interesting facts and figures about the Thesaurus (such as what are the largest categories and the most commonly occurring word forms across the history of English) here: http://historicalthesaurus.arts.gla.ac.uk/stats-and-figures/ Best wishes Brian ----- Brian Aitken MA(Hons) MSc Digital Humanities Research Officer School of Critical Studies University of Glasgow http://blogs.arts.gla.ac.uk/digital-humanities/ -----Original Message----- > From: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org [mailto:humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org] On Behalf Of Humanist Discussion Group > Sent: 17 February 2017 06:12 > To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > Subject: [Humanist] 30.754 persuasive projects?

This is such an annoying question to ask and be asked. I would probably answer that no research or project that is deep and truly groundbreaking, whether in DH or outside it, could be summed and explained in an elevator talk, but I am sure like me you keep being asked these questions and are in need of such examples. My favorite choices became slightly outdated, and are still a bit too complicated to explain so I would really appreciate your ideas, and if this has been discussed and answered, here or elsewhere, in the last 3-4 years, I apologize and would be grateful if you could point me there.

In partnership with the Beckman Center for the History of Chemistry at the Chemical Heritage Foundation, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce: The Science of Information, 1870-1945: The Universalization of Knowledge in a Utopian Age February 23-25, 2017 Registration is free and open to the public but required. For more information and to register, go to http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/science_of_information.html The conference will take place at the Beckman Center at the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the University of Pennsylvania's Kleinman Center for Energy Policy (Fisher Fine Arts Library, 4th Floor) ***** Between about 1870 and 1945, for visionaries and planners around the world, projects for assembling universal knowledge and projects for effecting a universal political order went hand-in-hand. This symposium will investigate the development of intertwining utopianisms in internationalist politics and in the science of information during this period. This span of years stretches from the onset of modern war, in America and Western Europe, to its most horrific climax in World War II. It is also the period during which global transportation and communications systems were constructed, the modern global economy was knit together, and both scientific and humanistic scholarship became a professional and global enterprise. Such developments made the collection and sharing of information and the establishment of accord among nation-states especially urgent, the stuff of utopian speculation, pacifist dreams, and, sometimes, pragmatic nightmares. A striking measure of this urgency was the formation in 1922 of the League of Nations' International Committee on Intellectual Cooperation, the primary aim of which was to address and resolve issues at the intersection of information and diplomacy. This period is also approximately the lifespan of one of the foremost of these dreamers: the pioneering information scientist Paul Otlet. Otlet, along with his partner, the Belgian statesman and the 1913 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Henri La Fontaine, championed internationalist ideals in their campaign to promote democratic access to universal knowledge. In light of the emergence of contemporary forms of information utopianism centered on the internet, big data, and the political possibilities of social media and other information technologies, Otlet in particular has become a figure of much interest among both historians of science and historians of libraries and information management. A principal goal of this conference is to bring these communities together to work towards a collective understanding of the hodgepodge of familiar and strange utopian projects that characterized this eventful seventy-five years. How did internationalist thought shape how information was processed and disseminated? Why did some political and information-sharing projects succeed and others founder? Did political and information universalism always go hand-in-hand? Could political universalism instead be paired with skepticism about information-gathering, or information universalism with nationalism? In answering these questions, this conference will shed new light on a pivotal aspect of the making of the modern world and generate valuable perspectives to inform conversations about political and information universalism today.

This CfP may also be found at https://www.comsys.rwth-aachen.de/fileadmin/downloads/SIIT2017_First_CfP.pdf. When the globe becomes more interconnected, by the internet, mobile applications, cloud computing, 5G and the IoT, standards are the mechanism of this global interconnection. When infrastructure technologies converge to enable new fields of applications (like e-health, the smart grid or intelligent transport systems) standards represent the foundation upon which both infrastructure and applications are based. And when applications and services become increasingly international, they too incorporate scores of standards without which they simply wouldn?t function in a global environment. SIIT 2017 in Beijing, China, will bring together leaders from, among others, technology, economics, social science, standardization, policy and law to discuss and learn more about the impact of this global convergence on standards and standardization, and vice versa. Since 1999, SIIT conferences aim at bringing together academia, government and industry participants engaged in standardization to foster the exchange of insights and views on all issues surrounding standards, standardization, interoperability and innovation. Contributing academic disciplines include, but are not limited to: Business Studies, Computer Science, Economics, Engineering, History, Information Systems, Law, Management Studies and Sociology. Topics ------ All types of papers are welcome that foster our understanding of interoperability, innovation and standards (e.g. theoretical, empirical, case studies). Topics include, but are certainly not limited to: * Standards to support technical convergence * Converging regional and international standards regimes?! * Do regional standards still have a right to exist? * Impact of standards (e.g. on innovation, competition, convergence) * Standardization in developing countries * Standardization and innovation * Standards, intellectual property rights and antitrust law * Open standards, open source, open innovation * Standardization policies and regulation * Alternative interoperability strategies * Adoption, implementation and diffusion of standards * Standardization management and strategies * Standards setting processes and organizations * Economics of standards * Standards legitimacy * Standards education * History of standardization * ... Paper Submissions ----------------- SIIT 2017 accepts submissions which must be original (unpublished) and follow IEEE formatting guidelines. Authors? names and affiliations should appear on a separate cover page only, which should also identify the type of the submission: * Academic papers will frequently adopt a more theoretical approach and will inform academics as well as, ideally, practitioners. * Industry papers address relevant topics from a more practical perspective and should also help ?ground? academic research. * Presentation papers are intended for presentation only. They will not be published in the conference proceedings in order to allow their publication elsewhere (relevant to certain fields of science). Papers in the above categories should not exceed 10 pages (including figures, references, etc.). * Poster papers should not exceed 2 pages and will typically report work in progress. All papers will undergo a double blind peer-review process. Authors may submit more than one paper, but each author will be allowed to present only one paper during the conference. At least one author of each accepted paper is required to register with the conference and present the paper. The conference organisers reserve the right to exclude a paper from inclusion in the proceedings and distribution after the conference if the paper is not presented at the conference. The paper submission guidelines will be published in due course. We plan to make Industry/Academic papers also available through IEEE Xplore. Their authors must comply with the IEEE policy on plagiarism including self-plagiarism; authors of papers accepted for publication will be asked to sign an IEEE Copyright Form. Outstanding papers will be considered for inclusion in the International Journal on Standardisation Research (IJSR). Important Dates --------------- Submissions due: 29 May 2017 Notification of acceptance: 30 July 2017 Final paper due: 10 September 2017 All information about the conference will be announced at http://www.SIIT2017.org (not yet live).

In 1977, when electronic digital computers still occupied entire rooms within the citadels of the military-industrial-university complex, AI and robotics were still largely arcane avocations of a few research teams and entrepreneurs. Today, smartphones with millions of times the power of those machines reside in the pockets of billions of people around the world; robotic beasts crawl over rubble to win prizes from DARPA; and consumer automobiles are (finally) beginning to drive themselves. Forbes magazine has already named 2017 “The Year of AI,” and China is poised to outpace the US and Japan combined in total numbers of industrial robots. R&D funding for autonomous technologies is at an all-time high, as are both optimism and fear about the futures they promise. Meanwhile, some of the world’s leading democracies struggle to function under conditions of electronically mediated information overload. How are we making sense of these technological transformations forty years after Autonomous Technologies? And how should we be? What still applies? What has changed? What have we learned since, and what remains insensible to us? This panel welcomes contributions on autonomous technologies, broadly construed to include historical and contemporary reflections as well as speculative and future-oriented pieces. http://www.4sonline.org/meeting/open_panel_topics_34_66 Submission link: http://www.4sonline.org/meeting Best regards and see you in Boston! Colin Garvey PhD candidate, STS @ RPI --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 21 Feb 2017 23:47:32 +0200 From: Subject: QQML2017 call for Abstracts/Papers 9th International Conference on Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Libraries, Limerick Ireland 23-26 May 2017 http://www.isast.org Call for Papers for the Special Session/s entitled: 1. Linking research and practice: the synergies and their relevance to practice, policy and academia. Coordinator: Maria G. N. Musoke, Professor of Information Science and Former University Librarian, Makerere University, Kampala. Uganda. East Africa. Contact: mmusoke@mulib.mak.ac.ug , maria.gnmusoke@yahoo.com Scope & rationale: In an era of partnerships and collaboration, rapid advances in information technology, paradigm shifts in research, learning and teaching, the growing research output that is increasingly becoming open access and the demands from library users/patrons, there is need to build on the synergies to impact academic and research libraries’ service delivery. Practicing librarians who conduct research or LIS academics and researchers who do research related to the practice of academic librarianship are invited to contribute papers to this session. The papers should share research findings about innovative practices and experiences – what works and what doesn’t - to enable the participants to learn from the best practices or avoid what doesn’t work. The application of the research findings to library service delivery, policy and in theories relevant to academics will enrich the session. Abstracts should be sent to the coordinator and to the secretariat secretar@isast.org. 2. From Assessment to Adjustment: Using Data to Evaluate and Improve Collections Coordinator: A. Jade Alburo, Librarian for Southeast Asian and Pacific Islands Studies, Charles E. Young Research Library, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) (Los Angeles, CA), jalburo@library.ucla.edu Scope and Rationale In times of budget cuts and scarce spaces, it is crucial to be strategic when developing and managing collections. What information can be used to inform these acquisition decisions? In this session, hear from presenters who used different assessment approaches – from comparative collection analysis and circulation data to surveys, interviews, and discussions – to improve their collection policies and better meet the needs of their users. Abstracts should be sent to the coordinator and to the secretariat secretar@isast.org. 3. Breaking the borders: How to measure the impact of innovative customer oriented services? Coordinators: Markku A. Laitinen, Planning Officer, National Library, Finland and Antti-Pekka Seppänen, Senior Adviser, Regional State Administrative Agency of Southern Finland and Jarmo Saarti, PhD, Library Director, University of Eastern Finland Library, Finland. Emails: markku.laitinen@helsinki.fi, antti.seppanen@avi.fi, jarmo.saarti@uef.fi Scope & rationale: The libraries have started to act in a more networked manner, both with each other and with different service providers. Thus, a need to develop new kinds of service concepts has arisen and new innovative services are being developed. This means that new evaluation methods and indicators will be needed in order to indicate the value and impact of these services. The need for the new indicators goes beyond mere numerical indicators, the main goal being to obtain knowledge about the strengths as well as needs for development of the services. These tools on the other hand support the management keeping in mind the value added for the patrons. Abstracts should be sent to the coordinators and to the secretariat secretar@isast.org. The main themes of the session are: · emerging new service concept · innovation ecosystem of the libraries · measurement, assessing · innovation management [...] Anthi Katsirikou Librarian, PhD, MSc Director of the Library of the University of Piraeus Member of the Board of Greek Librarians Association Co- Chair of the QQML International Conference anthi@asmda.com, anthi@isast.org --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Feb 2017 02:43:51 +0000 From: Laine Nooney Subject: Command Lines: Software, Power, Performance // March 18-19 @ CHM [forwarded from SIGCIS, http://www.sigcis.org] Dear SIGCIS Community, We were planning for a coordinated announcement about Command Lines once we'd had a chance to triple-check our program, but seeing as Tom has jumped the gun: we're thrilled to announce the lineup for our first SIGCIS-sponsored conference unattached to SHOT, handily accessible via this URL: http://meetings.sigcis.org/program.html. This program delivers scholars ranging across STS, the history of computing, game studies, media studies, critical race studies and more. Tremendous effort has been made to support the attendance of graduate students, and those from disciplinary communities not often represented at SIGCIS. We have limited capacity in the venue (generously hosted by the Computer History Museum), and with so many speakers, it unfortunately left limited space for outside attendees. Tickets went almost immediately upon advertising the conference, so we must announce that registration is closed. While we're of course regretful we can't include everyone who would like to attend, we are thrilled with the enthusiasm and excitement over what we believe will prove the most sprawling, diverse and cross-disciplinary SIGCIS event yet. We are hoping to offer streaming of one of the lecture halls, and we should be capturing video of all talks for CHM's Youtube channel, so the output of the event can be as accessible as possible. Stay tuned for updates on this.

Register NOW http://www.dhtraining.org/hilt2017 HILT will be held June 5–8, 2017, with special events on June 9, on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. Courses for 2017 include: GETTING STARTED WITH DATA, TOOLS, AND PLATFORMS Brandon Locke, Director, Lab for the Education and Advancement in Digital Research (LEADR), Michigan State University Thomas Padilla, Humanities Data Curator, University of California, Santa Barbara Starting a digital humanities research project can be quite intimidating. This course is designed to make that process less so by exploring tools and platforms that support digital humanities research, analysis, and publication. We will begin by reframing sources as data that enable digital research. We will work throughout the week on approaches to (1) finding, evaluating, and acquiring (2) cleaning and preparing (3) exploring (4) analyzing (5) communicating and sharing data. Emphasis will be placed across all stages on how to manage a beginner digital research project in such a way that helps to ensure that your project remains accessible, that the process is well documented, and that the data are reusable. WORKING WITH SCALAR Curtis Fletcher, Associate Director of the Polymathic Labs, University of Southern California Libraries, and Co-Principal Investigator, Scalar Project This 4-day workshop is for scholars and students who wish to work on a Scalar project or publication and seek comprehensive training in the platform and in-depth support with editorial, technical and design decisions. The workshop will include basic, intermediate and advanced training sessions in Scalar, discussions of readings on multimodal scholarship, and both collaborative whiteboarding sessions and one-on-one design meetings devoted to each project. The aim of the workshop is to help participants think through the conceptual, structural and technical aspects of their projects as well as the project’s relation to the emergent field of digital media and scholarship overall. Scalar is a free, open source authoring and publishing platform designed for scholars writing media-rich, born-digital scholarship. Developed by The Alliance for Networking Visual Culture, Scalar allows scholars to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose that media with their own writing in a variety of ways and to structure essay- and book-length works in ways that take advantage of the unique capabilities of digital writing, including nested, recursive, and non-linear formats. HELP! I’M A HUMANIST! — PROGRAMMING FOR HUMANISTS WITH PYTHON Brandon Walsh, Assistant Professor and Mellon Digital Humanities Fellow, Washington and Lee University Libraries This course introduces participants to humanities programming through the use of Python for data acquisition, cleaning, and analysis. The course assumes no prior technical knowledge and will focus on accomplishing basic research tasks. Students should walk away feeling equipped to tackle a variety of typical problems that arise for digital humanists. We will discuss programming and debugging concepts through the design, implementation, and presentation of small text analysis projects. Primary technologies and topics covered in this course will include the command line, Git, GitHub, and Python; working with data sources such as API’s, CSV files, and data scraped from the web; and basic text analysis. Over the course of the week, we will work with data from DPLA and Project Gutenberg. If the words above mean nothing to you, don’t panic—this course is for you. BLACK PUBLICS IN THE HUMANITIES: CRITICAL AND COLLABORATIVE DH PROJECTS Sarah Patterson, Graduate Student Co-Founder and Coordinator, Colored Conventions Project, PhD Candidate, University of Delaware Jim Casey, Graduate Student Co-Founder and Coordinator, Colored Conventions Project, PhD Candidate, University of Delaware Forming reciprocal partnerships between academia and publics realizes a primary goal of calls for social justice in Digital Humanities practices and projects. In this discussion-centric course, we will explore the possibilities for developing collaborative and public-facing digital projects invested in social justice. As a path to cultural criticism, we ask: how might we adapt digital practices in the humanities to bring students and public communities into our scholarship on Black American experiences and other underrepresented identities and texts in DH? What are some of the challenges of working through the politics of marginalization and with scattered archives, and how might we design multi-faceted projects that engage those topics in meaningful ways? This course will cover the intersections of project management, digital pedagogy and data visualization. We will hone strategies for weaving together inclusive community partnerships with undergraduate research through crowdsourcing, exhibits, and digital collections. Taking a hands-on approach, we will become acquainted with the processes of data. How do datasets make arguments? How can we collaborate with librarians and information professionals to unpack the resonances of power, authority, and violence in humanities data? Using the Colored Conventions Project and other small- to medium-sized DH projects as examples, students will have the opportunity to create and workshop blueprints for their own projects. By the end of the week, participants will have a working understanding of an array of approaches to project design and implementation, including data viz., metadata, curriculum, and more. TEXT ANALYSIS Katie Rawson, Humanities Librarian, Emory University Can topic modeling help me answer my question? How do I extract the people and places from the texts I study? What is principal component analysis? How do I build a corpus I can mine using text analysis tools? How can I study shifts in discourse over time? This class will examine methods and practices for text analysis. Freely available tools and excellent tutorials have made it easier to apply computational text analysis techniques; however, researchers may still find themselves struggling with how to build their corpus, decide upon a method, and interpret results. We will survey the how and why of variety of commonly used methods (e.g. word distribution, topic modeling, natural language processing) as well as how develop and manage a collection of texts. NEW APPROACHES TO LITERARY ARCHIVES Porter Olsen, PhD Candidate, University of Maryland The past decade has seen the rise of hybrid and born-digital literary collections as prominent authors from the latter 20th century have (either in person or through their estates) donated their papers to libraries and other collecting institutions. Over that period the archival community has worked to develop the necessary preservation methods and access systems to ensure the long-term preservation of these born-digital materials, while also making them available to researchers. Like the archivists tasked with processing these born-digital materials, the scholar of latter 20th and early 21st century literature must also develop new skills and expertise. In this course participants will develop those skills and digital fluencies necessary to take full advantage of existing and future hybrid literary collections. Participants will learn fundamentals of digital objects including how data is stored on a variety of legacy and contemporary media, how to access file-level metadata such as file creation and modification times, and how to work with a variety of file systems. We will also carefully explore examples of born-digital and hybrid literary collections such as the Salman Rushdie collection at Emory University, the John Updike collection at Harvard University, and the Gabriel Garcia Marquez collection at the Harry Ransom Center. Instruction will be a mixture of lecture, discussion, and hands-on practical activities. HUMANITIES RESEARCH WITH SOUND: INTRODUCTION TO AUDIO MACHINE LEARNING Stephen McLaughlin, PhD Candidate, University of Texas at Austin Libraries and archives have digitized thousands of hours of historical audio in recent years, including literary performances, radio programs, and oral histories. In the rush to preserve these recordings before their physical media decay, applying detailed metadata has often been an afterthought. Unlike digitized text, which is readily searchable in most cases, describing the contents of audio recordings typically means listening in real time. Using a range of tools, the High-Performance Sound Technologies for Access and Scholarship (HiPSTAS) project at the University of Texas at Austin has worked to shine a light on these large collections and encourage their use in research. Participants will gain skills useful for using sound collections for a range of humanities research questions. By learning the basics of how to discover and identify patterns, search and sift collections of sounds, humanists can unlock new collections of valuable primary source material. This workshop will begin with an overview of machine learning techniques for expediting audio annotation, beginning with event detection classifiers, speaker diarization, and speech-to-text processing. We will then use the GUI-based tool Sonic Visualiser to tag audio events and use those data to search for additional instances in a wider corpus. Experience recording or editing digital audio will be helpful but is not strictly necessary. No prior experience with Python or machine learning is required. INTRODUCTION TO THE TEXT ENCODING INITIATIVE (TEI) FOR HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS Caitlin Pollock, Digital Humanities Librarian, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines are a standard defining an XML vocabulary for representing textual materials in digital form. This course will focus on encoding historical primary sources both to give provide context and to support analysis and visualization of features of text relevant to humanities scholars. In this introductory course, participants will focus on documenting provenance of historical materials, recording bibliographic metadata, and developing encoding workflows that identify features of interest. Participants will also become familiar with the TEI guidelines and will discuss how to manage text encoding projects in ways that support uniform data creation and best practices for integrating TEI with other metadata standards. Participants will review examples of TEI usage in other digital humanities project and then devote time to encoding TEI documents relevant to their research interests. For those with no previous experience, readings about XML and the TEI will be provided prior to class.

What level are we operating on here? I sit in front of a computer. I can program decently, I can make a program to analyse texts, to organise information; I can connect some micro-controllers and I can link to the external world, I can make an automatic plant watering system. But I cannot program the computer to make me a bookshelf. I can use computers as parts of a bookshelf factory plant, but is that not a different thing? To make one handcrafted bookshelf I need some skills and some tools and some planks. Maybe some of the tools include micro-controllers. Yet, I would probably not program them. So “doing anything with software stuff”? I need to chop down a tree. Again, if you look at the big machines currently doing much of the logging they have advanced computer systems to support the operator (or maybe the other way around). Yet, if I want to chop down one tree software stuff is not relevant to me. I need a chainsaw or some other simple tools and some skills (and some knowledge of the risks to the health of myself and others). So does not the physics underlying the computer also constrain what it can be used for? Which brings me back to WIllard’s initial post, from Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 746. Tue, 14 Feb 2017 07:45:38 +0000. Physical craftsmanship and digital making. I will never look at a tree the same way after my son (around the age of six) said that my father was a cruel man. Why said I, thinking maybe this was connected to my father being a hunter and fisher. But no. He was cruel because he chopped down trees. Which for me was just a different way of looking at trees. No unknown (I know a bit about deforesting and the ecological consequences of many types of forestry) but as a direct link to my family background it was new. In that local perspective my natural view on trees included (but was not confined to) things to cut down, burn, make bookshelves and houses of, and export to bring back income to people working with chainsaws and tractors in the forests (which people still did when I grew up). Which is the experience that makes me wonder about this sentence from the last paragraph: "Programming is one way of teaching our digital makers, but I fear that it is too much in the head to make that link with craftsmanship." I know we use hands in the forest, but the head is extremely important. It is dangerous business, making trees topple. You need to know where they fall. Surely, all the thinking is part of the work with hands, legs, rest of the body, but loosing concentration for a while is very dangerous. The calculations are complex indeed, even if they are connected to skilled work and mostly invisible for outsiders, and the head must be clear to keep things reasonably safe. It is basically about practical problem solving. Which is, to me, what programming (differently from various parts of theoretical computer science) is too. Not really academic, but a skill-set one can use to solve problems — also academic problems. And I claim that to the degree I am a reasonably skilled programmer this is partly due to other types of problem solving I learned as a child, related to engines, trees, maps, and other stuff we think-do with. All the best, Øyvind _______________________________________________ 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 8776C8A5C; Thu, 23 Feb 2017 06:55:31 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BFFB58A57; Thu, 23 Feb 2017 06:55:30 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 08C3E8A56; Thu, 23 Feb 2017 06:55:28 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20170223055529.08C3E8A56@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2017 06:55:28 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.769 exploitation?

Mellon Foundation Scholars Program http://www.hope.edu/academics/mellon-scholars/ at Hope College seeks a graduate student in a humanities or arts discipline with an emphasis in digital humanities to fill the position of Digital Liberal Arts (DLA) Fellow at Hope College. The position is a part-time, non-benefit eligible position (.48 FTE) running from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. The annual salary is $25,000. The DLA fellow reports to the Director of the Mellon Scholars Program. The Mellon Scholars Program, founded in 2010, is one of the first digital humanities programs in the nation developed at a liberal arts college. The innovations in teaching digital humanities at Hope College have been a model for other programs at liberal arts colleges nationwide. The Mellon Scholars Program continues to be a leader in pedagogical and research models for digitally inflected projects. Graduates of the program have gone on to graduate studies, in a variety of disciplines, at Harvard University, The Sorbonne, Trinity College, Dublin, the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Princeton Seminary, and the University of Michigan. Several graduates have also gone directly into professional careers. One of the goals of the DLA fellow position is to encourage new scholars graduating from digital humanities programs in considering how their scholarly and teaching trajectories can flourish in a liberal arts context. The position primarily includes developing and teaching one course each semester related to the Mellon Scholars Program: Mellon Scholars Sophomore Research Seminar I in the fall and Mellon Scholars Sophomore Research Seminar II in the spring. The fellow is encouraged to tailor the course to her or his disciplinary and digital interests and strengths, but should roughly aim for an introduction to the methods, ethos, and major trends in the digital humanities from an interdisciplinary perspective. These courses have between 16 and 20 second-year students, who are highly motivated and high functioning in the classroom. For scheduling reasons, the course runs Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00-9:20am. The class has a TA from the Mellon Scholars Program, and the college's digital humanities librarian is also available for support and technical instruction. The library has a tech lab with a Lynda institutional subscription. The Mellon Scholars Program also has equipment such as cameras, microphones, a dictation foot pedal, and a Mac computer. Responsibilities also include supervising the Digital Holland committee, a student-run public scholarship project that develops projects related Holland, Michigan history and culture through archival work and community engagement, advising juniors and seniors in the Mellon Scholars Program who are engaged in digitally inflected scholarship, and serving on the Mellon Scholars advisory board. The DLA fellow will be provided with an office in the library, a networked computer, a teaching assistant (as noted above), secretarial support and up to $3000 in conference funding. The DLA fellow will also be provided with mentorship from a panel of faculty that will assist the fellow in developing cover letters and a teaching statement geared to liberal arts colleges, practicing mock Skype and campus interviews, as well as research presentations. *Qualifications* Candidates must have an MA degree in an arts and humanities field with participation in a digital scholarship certification program and coursework towards the Ph.D. *Application Instructions* Application materials are to be submitted electronically as part of the online application found at www.hope.edu/employment/faculty. Applications must include a cover letter that addresses discipline and DH areas, curriculum vitae, and a statement describing the candidate's fit to the mission of Hope College http://www.hope.edu/about/mission.html . In addition, candidates will be prompted to enter contact information for three references onto the application. These references will be contacted via email to submit a reference form. Applications received by March 15 will be given full consideration.

You characterize Tim Ingold's take on the implements of writing: But he also comes down rather hard on modern interfaces for writing -- the typewriter and its digital imitation -- which do rather badly in comparison with pen and paper. He does not mention the mouse. You wonder "what would be a persuasive answer to his objection". I think it begins by noting how pen and hand like typewriter can display in space a many-voiced text. Ingold cites Heidegger to the effect that 'modern man writes "with" the typewriter' and emphasizes that "with" is placed under quotation marks by Heidegger. This invites also thinking about writing "with" pen. A direction that Ingold does not take. Pen and paper can involve many inks, many pieces of paper and many scripts (cursive, blockprinting, etc). Typewriting can involve carriage returns, spacing, backspacing, strikeouts of various sorts and on some models different colours. A word processor provides a full symphony of typographic effects. I stress the similarities here to raise the question of telos. If the end is to capture the many voices in one's head then the putative superiority of one mode over another strikes a rather strange note. Of course in an entirely oral situation we can imagine the assignment of various parts to various groupings of people in a choral round. Thus in certain ways the pen wielder is akin to a conductor. Following Heidegger, Ingold asserts that the hand can hold and the fingertip can merely touch. But what of counting with one's fingers or committing to memory a list with places reserved for each item on each finger? "With" indeed. We _place_ an idea or a voice in a certain locale in the world and then retrieve. I would venture that placing is akin to craft and retrieval involves orchestration. In any event, I find it difficult to sustain the narrative of decay that Ingold invokes ("The drift of technological enhancement has been to substitute touch sensitivity at the fingertips for the sentient correspondence of telling by hand.") as I key in the words that were written by hand out of print in the library copy of the book. The line breaks shift. Migration is the standard. In the fingertips is the charm of voice. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 07:53:57 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: cognitive rippling In-Reply-To: <20170218070740.155ED88CA@digitalhumanities.org> In Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are (London: Granta, 2016), Dutch-American ethologist Frans de Waal proposes his "cognitive ripple rule: Every cognitive capacity that we discover is going to be older and more widespread than initially thought." (p. 93) By "widespread" he means among living beings, from our closest relations outward to those who have developed similar capacities by different evolutionary means. The book is a brilliant read with many mind-dilating insights. It gives us far firmer ground on which to venture out from humans than, say, Peter Wohlleben's The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate (Vancouver BC: Greystone, 2015) -- though I do not want to suggest that Wohlleben is to be dismissed without further thought. But my point is to ask this question: where in the cognitive pond (de Waal's metaphor) do we locate our increasingly smart devices? Once one begins asking not "is X intelligent?" (the Turing Test question) but "what kind of intelligence does X have?" or, even better, "what do we mean by 'intelligence'?" it doesn't feel right to stop. Once we see how blurry, indeed artificial the Cartesian boundary between human and non-human animal is, we can follow Descartes and turn to machines, digital machines in particular. Is that in principle a step too far? De Waal is more cautious than I may have suggested. After showing the degree to which the equation of intelligence with language has blinded us to the intelligence of the non-human, he recognizes how language does make a difference between us and them. But a refinement of his argument is this: "as with so many larger human phenomena, once we break it down into smaller pieces, some of these pieces can be found elsewhere". Does this help extend the cognitive rippling to artificial entities?

Being able to revise and print a new draft in a minute freed me from having to rewrite by hand and pester always obliging but exploited secretaries to retype the result. My productivity soared. For me, writing by hand is about the most confining way of writing there is, even more so than (my much-beloved) mechanical typewriter (which I still have) (full disclosure: my hand-writing is pretty clunky).

Among those selected for funding in the 2016 call, the project PATRIMONIVM, hosted by the University Bordeaux Montaigne, aims at realizing the first global study of the economic, social and political role of the properties of Roman emperors using a complete documentary base of all relevant sources. The project lasts 5 years and will involve 9 historians and a web engineer responsible of the database. The documentary system of PATRIMONIVM is one of the most ambitious features of the project, not only because of the number and the variety of the data (epigraphic, papyrological and literary sources, prosopographical data, archaeological descriptions, images, georeferenced data, bibliographic references), but also because of the implementation of the latest XML standards for the digital presentation of ancient sources. These features make PATRIMONIVM one of the leading digital humanities projects at international level. The engineer responsible for the documentary system is one of the most important members PATRIMONIVM’s research team. She/he will work in close coordination with the Principal Investigator and collaborate with the other team members. She/he will participate to the scientific programme of the project and contribute to the visibility to the project thanks to her/his participation to conferences and workshops on the digital humanities in France and abroad. She/he will be part of the project for its entire duration: full time during the first three years, part time for the remaining months. http://ausonius.u-bordeaux-montaigne.fr/presentation/recrutements --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:55:11 +0000 From: TreaAndrea Russworm Subject: Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Digital Humanities and Blended Learning DUE SOON! In-Reply-To: Five College Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Digital Humanities and Blended Learning https://chroniclevitae.com/jobs/0000357683-01?cid=chw_topjob The Five College Consortium, with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship in Digital Humanities and Blended Learning beginning in the academic year 2017-18. The term of the fellowship is for one year with possibility of renewal for a second year. The position will be based at one of the consortium's associated institutions (Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith colleges and the University of Massachusetts Amherst). The fellow will be paired with research and teaching mentors in closely related fields and will be an active participant in ongoing projects engaging faculty members across the campuses who are bringing digital approaches and materials to bear on teaching and student research in the humanities or humanistic social sciences through blended approaches. A home campus and department(s) will be assigned based on the fellow’s field and focus. We seek candidates whose research and teaching in a humanistic discipline centers on theoretical, methodological, and technical encounters with digital technologies, while also demonstrating commitment to meeting the equity and inclusion challenges and opportunities attached to the implementation of digital humanities technologies. We seek candidates who have working familiarity with at least two of the following: * geographic information systems; * hardware or software used for spatial humanities work, including VR/AR; * humanities data visualization, or narrative or arts approaches to working with computational data, including social media data; * video game studies; * feminist or intersectional approaches to computing; * text-mining or other modes of computational approaches to interpretation; * developing and implementing minimal computing pathways; * hardware / software studies; and * new or experimental modes of presenting humanities work in electronic formats, including digital storytelling and game design. In addition to pursuing an independent research program, the successful candidate will teach two undergraduate courses each year, one of which is a new blended course (utilizing both in class and online components). The course, planned for development through next year, will meet needs for an introductory class in digital humanities methodologies. This postdoctoral fellowship is a full-time academic year salaried appointment ($55,000) with excellent benefits and $5,000 in research and travel support. It is open only to recent Ph.D. recipients, those who have completed all requirements for the Ph.D. before September 2017 (preference will be given to those completing by May 2017) and no earlier than April 2014. Review of applications will begin March 15, 2017, and continue until the position is filled.

In the early modern period, curiosity was doubled-edged: it was both a virtue, the spring for a “love of truth”, but also the source of human error and even personal corruption. In the 20th century, curiosity had become an apparently uncomplicated motivation. Successful scientists, for example Nobel Prize winners in their lectures and biographies, frequently attributed their first steps into science to a fundamental curiosity, an irrepressible desire to ask the question ‘why?’ The aside made by Albert Einstein in private correspondence in 1952 – “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious” – has now become a meme. Yet in the 20th century, science was shaped by many forces, and the practical utility of science in the real, messy problematic worlds of its formation seem far removed from the seeming innocence of curiosity-driven research. In this lecture, Professor Agar (Department of Science and Technology Studies , University College London) asks why scientists say they ask ‘why?’, and traces the curious history of the idea of curiosity-driven science.

I migrated from use of a typewriter. But I had trained as a calligrapher and taught it for years. Prior to that a friend and roommate taught me a fair bit of carpentry, and before that my father. So I had -- and have -- a feeling for craftsmanship, indeed love of it and some ability, though not enough to allow me to give up my day-job. But I never once thought that using a keyboard was any kind of betrayal. Handwriting and typewriting happily cohabited in me until wordprocessing sent typewriting on its way -- and good riddance (though I loved my Olympus portable -- a fine machine). A keen appreciation for good handwriting, typography, page-design and the book-arts has remained strong as ever. Obsession for layout and other aspects of readability dogs my use of e-mail, Humanist very much included. So, my point at last. The question I've hinted at in the last couple of e-mails on this topic is this: how do we (as digital humanists) best instil a sense of craftsmanship in all relevant matters without falling victim to nostalgia for a once happy Paradise defined by its innocence of wordprocessing, smartwatches, iPhones & alii? (I have and delight in all of those -- to the degree they are well crafted :-) My point about programming, that I feared it was "too much in the head", was not to denigrate head-work, rather to question our ability to do it well without that sense of craftsmanship best instilled, I'd think, through physical work with one's hands. (Gardening is included!) My over-the-top recommendation would be to require courses in calligraphy, book-binding and design. Perhaps the human imagination is powerful enough to acquire that sense through coding alone? The beauty and elegance of a fine mathematical proof surely attest to something very much like craftsmanship. I once knew a Nobel chemist who was so much "in the head" that, it was said, he couldn't tie his own shoelaces. But he thought in terms of molecular objects, i.e. in physical terms. Is the real problem a false separation of mind and body? Comments?

Best, David __ MAKE _YOUR_ EDITION: MODELS AND METHODS FOR DIGITAL TEXTUAL SCHOLARSHIP Call for applications: Summer 2017 NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities DEADLINES: Applications are due Tuesday, February 28, 2017. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2017. INSTITUTE DATES: July 10-29, 2017 Synopsis The University of Pittsburgh is pleased to invite applications to an NEH Advanced Institute in the Digital Humanities for summer 2017 entitled _Make YOUR edition: models and methods of digital textual scholarship_. The target audience for this workshop is digital textual scholars who are already comfortable editing their texts (in TEI XML or comparable alternatives); the goal of the Institute is to assist them in moving beyond textual editing to imagining, creating, and publishing research-driven, theoretically and methodologically innovative digital editions. Rationale Digital humanists already have access to workshops and tutorials to help them learn to transcribe, edit, and tag a text in preparation for publishing a digital edition. These training resources play a vital role in empowering editors to formalize and instantiate their interpretations as markup, so as to make them available for subsequent analysis. Nonetheless, sophisticated markup expertise alone is not enough to make an edition, and learning nothing more than tagging may leave scholars staring at their angle brackets and wondering what to do next. For some a solution like TEI Tapas provides an adequate next step, but for those who wish to ask new types of questions of their documents, and to produce new types of editions that enable new types of research, an understanding of how to turn a set of tagged texts into a customized edition that meets individualized research goals is crucial. Digital humanists cannot build editions that break new methodological ground solely on the basis of solutions prepared largely by others, and the focus of this Institute is on the creation of digital editions motivated by project-specific research questions and implemented from a perspective driven first by theory of edition, second by editorial methodology, and necessarily but less importantly by specific toolkits. In this respect we foreground not learning a particular programming language or technology or framework, but learning to think and act digitally about the process of creating a digital edition. Because tools and technologies come and go, the Institute emphasizes learning to translate original digital thinking about editions into implementations of those editions, rather than on “tooling up” in the context of currently popular frameworks. In this respect, the Institute recognizes thinking digitally in ways driven by project-specific research goals as the most important feature of _sustainable Digital Humanities training and education_. Program The Institute will introduce textual and manuscript scholars to a powerful and broad-reaching skill set of digital methods and technologies, grounded in a context that prioritizes a research-driven theory of edition. The course moves in a three-week succession from novice to experienced level, and from base textual data to full digital publication of scholarly editions. The Institute assumes that participants will have meaningful prior experience in digital editing (in TEI XML or a comparable framework), but it makes no other assumptions about prior knowledge or skills. - An optional first-week _boot camp_ establishes basic infrastructure skills (operating comfortably at the command line, handling files, navigating file systems, sharing resources and code responsibly, running Python programs from the command line, etc.). - The second week allows participants to practice and advance their basic skills when they start combining digital textual scholarship theory (e.g., McGann 20041, Andrews 20122, Siemens 20123, Robinson 20134, Haentjens et al. 20155) with standard (e.g., XML, Python, Jupyter Notebooks) and advanced digital technologies (e.g., StemmaWeb, CollateX, Neo4j, Tinkerpop, eXist-db). - By the end of the third week, participants will be able to conceptualize from theory a perspective on digital textual scholarship and digital scholarly editions. They will also know how to go about planning and implementing such an edition by engaging programmatically and algorithmically with digital data, handling it computationally, and querying, analyzing, and transforming it into visualizations that transcend the digital translation of a text as a codex. The Institute will meet at the main (Oakland) campus of the University of Pittsburgh from Monday, July 10, 2017 through Friday, July 28, 2017 and will draw on an international faculty of distinguished scholars, practitioners, and teachers of digital philology from several collaborating institutions. On Saturday, July 29, 2017 there will be an optional pedagogical review of the Institute, designed to assist participants in organizing and conducting their own workshops at their home institutions.

Best, David __ MAKE _YOUR_ EDITION: MODELS AND METHODS FOR DIGITAL TEXTUAL SCHOLARSHIP Call for applications: Summer 2017 NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities DEADLINES: Applications are due Tuesday, February 28, 2017. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2017. INSTITUTE DATES: July 10-29, 2017 Synopsis The University of Pittsburgh is pleased to invite applications to an NEH Advanced Institute in the Digital Humanities for summer 2017 entitled _Make YOUR edition: models and methods of digital textual scholarship_. The target audience for this workshop is digital textual scholars who are already comfortable editing their texts (in TEI XML or comparable alternatives); the goal of the Institute is to assist them in moving beyond textual editing to imagining, creating, and publishing research-driven, theoretically and methodologically innovative digital editions. Rationale Digital humanists already have access to workshops and tutorials to help them learn to transcribe, edit, and tag a text in preparation for publishing a digital edition. These training resources play a vital role in empowering editors to formalize and instantiate their interpretations as markup, so as to make them available for subsequent analysis. Nonetheless, sophisticated markup expertise alone is not enough to make an edition, and learning nothing more than tagging may leave scholars staring at their angle brackets and wondering what to do next. For some a solution like TEI Tapas provides an adequate next step, but for those who wish to ask new types of questions of their documents, and to produce new types of editions that enable new types of research, an understanding of how to turn a set of tagged texts into a customized edition that meets individualized research goals is crucial. Digital humanists cannot build editions that break new methodological ground solely on the basis of solutions prepared largely by others, and the focus of this Institute is on the creation of digital editions motivated by project-specific research questions and implemented from a perspective driven first by theory of edition, second by editorial methodology, and necessarily but less importantly by specific toolkits. In this respect we foreground not learning a particular programming language or technology or framework, but learning to think and act digitally about the process of creating a digital edition. Because tools and technologies come and go, the Institute emphasizes learning to translate original digital thinking about editions into implementations of those editions, rather than on “tooling up” in the context of currently popular frameworks. In this respect, the Institute recognizes thinking digitally in ways driven by project-specific research goals as the most important feature of _sustainable Digital Humanities training and education_. Program The Institute will introduce textual and manuscript scholars to a powerful and broad-reaching skill set of digital methods and technologies, grounded in a context that prioritizes a research-driven theory of edition. The course moves in a three-week succession from novice to experienced level, and from base textual data to full digital publication of scholarly editions. The Institute assumes that participants will have meaningful prior experience in digital editing (in TEI XML or a comparable framework), but it makes no other assumptions about prior knowledge or skills. - An optional first-week _boot camp_ establishes basic infrastructure skills (operating comfortably at the command line, handling files, navigating file systems, sharing resources and code responsibly, running Python programs from the command line, etc.). - The second week allows participants to practice and advance their basic skills when they start combining digital textual scholarship theory (e.g., McGann 20041, Andrews 20122, Siemens 20123, Robinson 20134, Haentjens et al. 20155) with standard (e.g., XML, Python, Jupyter Notebooks) and advanced digital technologies (e.g., StemmaWeb, CollateX, Neo4j, Tinkerpop, eXist-db). - By the end of the third week, participants will be able to conceptualize from theory a perspective on digital textual scholarship and digital scholarly editions. They will also know how to go about planning and implementing such an edition by engaging programmatically and algorithmically with digital data, handling it computationally, and querying, analyzing, and transforming it into visualizations that transcend the digital translation of a text as a codex. The Institute will meet at the main (Oakland) campus of the University of Pittsburgh from Monday, July 10, 2017 through Friday, July 28, 2017 and will draw on an international faculty of distinguished scholars, practitioners, and teachers of digital philology from several collaborating institutions. On Saturday, July 29, 2017 there will be an optional pedagogical review of the Institute, designed to assist participants in organizing and conducting their own workshops at their home institutions.

It's been important not only as aesthetic appreciation but of great practical importance, and free of nostalgia for handicrafts. This craftsmanship goes by names such as 'well-structured code', 'coding best practices' etc. - anything relevant to what makes 'good' code as opposed to 'bad'. Not only does a developer appreciate the beauty of it when they see it but it has practical and economic benefits. There's commonplace ideals such as separation of form and content, of front and back end, the MVC pattern etc. Simply neatly laid out and well commented code saves time and money in the reading of it, and so it's modification etc. Code that is laid out in a structure that makes sense similarly is good craftsmanship and makes sense. The best code is so well designed, in terms of its architecture, its use of design patterns, and the sort of techniques that you learn as you progress from 'apprentice' to 'master', that changes and additions to it can take hours instead of weeks. There are so many ways in which code can be well written, where you can see the work of a skilled craftsman, that I can't list them here, but are easily found in internet searches. One example is the art of the one liner - a piece of code where someone has found an elegant and clever way of writing a single line of code that others might have written in convoluted loops and subroutines. While not a one liner I remember feeling a swell of pride when C# introduced reflection and I realised you could use a simple hash in lieu of a factory method - so simple, so ingenious, so beautiful. (Dare I mention Perl Poetry? http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1111395 ) Ways to instill this sense of craftsmanship might be simply by teaching what makes good code (eg: Google 'well-structured code'), designing demonstrations where good architecture makes code more flexible and repurposable, articulating all the benefits of code re-use etc, etc. In short I think the craftsmanship you seek for DH and the ways to highlight its importance and teach it are already there in coding practices. You just need to recognise it. This raises the question whether there are any differences to the craftsmanship of writing software in itself and in it's application to humanities. I think so.

I migrated from use of a typewriter. But I had trained as a calligrapher and taught it for years. Prior to that a friend and roommate taught me a fair bit of carpentry, and before that my father. So I had -- and have -- a feeling for craftsmanship, indeed love of it and some ability, though not enough to allow me to give up my day-job. But I never once thought that using a keyboard was any kind of betrayal. Handwriting and typewriting happily cohabited in me until wordprocessing sent typewriting on its way -- and good riddance (though I loved my Olympus portable -- a fine machine). A keen appreciation for good handwriting, typography, page-design and the book-arts has remained strong as ever. Obsession for layout and other aspects of readability dogs my use of e-mail, Humanist very much included. So, my point at last. The question I've hinted at in the last couple of e-mails on this topic is this: how do we (as digital humanists) best instil a sense of craftsmanship in all relevant matters without falling victim to nostalgia for a once happy Paradise defined by its innocence of wordprocessing, smartwatches, iPhones & alii? (I have and delight in all of those -- to the degree they are well crafted :-) My point about programming, that I feared it was "too much in the head", was not to denigrate head-work, rather to question our ability to do it well without that sense of craftsmanship best instilled, I'd think, through physical work with one's hands. (Gardening is included!) My over-the-top recommendation would be to require courses in calligraphy, book-binding and design. Perhaps the human imagination is powerful enough to acquire that sense through coding alone? The beauty and elegance of a fine mathematical proof surely attest to something very much like craftsmanship. I once knew a Nobel chemist who was so much "in the head" that, it was said, he couldn't tie his own shoelaces. But he thought in terms of molecular objects, i.e. in physical terms. Is the real problem a false separation of mind and body? Comments?

More information is available at https://www.maynoothuniversity.ie/foras-feasa/study-with-us. Join us for our Open House on Wednesday 1st March from 11am - 2.30pm on the First Floor, Iontas Building, North Campus, to learn more about the programme. For those who can’t join us in person, we will be streaming the event live on our YouTube channel https://goo.gl/OhQ5Iy. You can contact us through via Twitter feed @DigiHum_MU and on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/DHMaynooth/ The Master of Arts in Digital Humanities, the oldest in Ireland, and one of the oldest in the world, combines the theory and practice of humanities research and teaching with transformative digital technologies. It provides students with the opportunity of extending their disciplinary knowledge into new modalities, including data analytics, digitisation and curation, 2D and 3D modelling. The Masters is taught within a praxis-based environment with opportunities to work on cutting-edge Irish & international projects. The Master of Science in Spatial eHumanities is offered jointly with The National Centre for Geocomputation. It takes an interdisciplinary approach to focus on spatial and temporal concepts, methods, and tools in the development of computational and visual frameworks from which to explore the past and better understand our present. It is the only programme in Europe combining geocomputation, cultural heritage, archaeology, design, and humanities/arts research, providing both a historical background and theoretical grounding to the field. Both degrees feature an internship with an industry or cultural heritage partner, or within a university-based digital humanities project. To find out more, email us at aff-pgr-enquiry@nuim.ie to arrange a skype chat with one of the teaching staff. The closing date for applications is 30th June 2017.

DESCRIPTION: The Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research is a publicly funded research institute that focuses on the study of mediated public communication. Its research encompasses both broadcast and digital communication from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. The postdoctoral research network Algorithmed Public Spheres was established to study the relevance of algorithms for the constitution of the public sphere. We emphasize in particular the importance of algorithms for filtering, ranking and selecting media content and for structuring digital communication. In contrast to the use of data mining in areas such as healthcare, credit scoring and general business analytics, where such techniques have a long tradition, the impact of algorithms on the public sphere poses novel challenges. How are communication, media, and public discourse impacted by transferring the dominant logics of consumption from other industries to news, information, and political deliberation, implemented in social media platforms, search engines, and on news websites? Research in this area could include: - Measurement of algorithmic bias and discrimination - Feedback effects in recommender systems - Assessment of potential filter bubbles - Algorithms in news production, distribution and consumption processes - User interaction with and rationalization of algorithms We invite applications for international postdoctoral research fellows from fields including, but not restricted to, computer and information science, communication and media studies, law, sociology and philosophy, who will conduct innovative research on the social and cultural impact of algorithms during stays of 3-12 months in Hamburg in the academic year 2017/2018. We particularly welcome cross-cutting research proposals that integrate technical and social perspectives and result in concrete outcomes, for example in the form of peer-reviewed research articles or proposals for externally funded projects. Up to two funded fellowships will be awarded as result of this call. The fellowships cover airfare and a contribution to the accommodation and subsistence in Hamburg. In specific cases, we may offer a temporary employment contract instead of a scholarship. To apply, please send a cover letter (one page), a project proposal (up to three pages) and your CV (up to four pages), including a list of your most relevant publications (maximum of five), to Cornelius Puschmann ( c.puschmann@hans-bredow-institut.de). Please note that applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

This collection includes almost 400 texts written and translated by women, first published between 1526 and 1850. For more information on getting started with WWO, please see this post (http://wwp.northeastern.edu/blog/free-march/) on our blog. In addition to WWO, we also have several publications that are always open-access, including: * Women Writers in Review: a collection of almost 700 reviews of and responses to works by the authors in WWO. WWiR is linked with WWO, so that readers can easily navigate between both collections. http://wwp.northeastern.edu/review/ * Women Writers in Context: a collection of essays exploring topics related to early women’s writing. WWiC provides core background information for the texts in WWO and WWiR, while highlighting shared themes and historical interconnections and helping readers to discover new works by women writers. http://wwp.northeastern.edu/context/ * Teaching materials: We have recently begun an initiative to partner with faculty on developing assignments and activities using WWO and WWiR.

Ross Deans Mclachlan Title: Sentiment analysis and ‘affective texture’ in illness writing Abstract: In a series of recent articles on his personal website, the digital literary scholar Matthew Jockers published Syuzhet, a new package written for the programming language R. At root, the syuzhet package is built around a method drawn from text mining known as Sentiment Analysis. Jockers claims that syuzhet can be used to reveal the ‘emotional trajectory’ and the ‘plot arcs’ of literary texts. This claim has been met with a reasonable degree of suspicion and hesitation. However, in this talk, I argue that syuzhet does in fact show something of interest for the study of discourse, rhetoric, and style. To illustrate this, I use a number of examples taken from non-fiction writing dealing with the experience of illness. I aim to show how a sentiment-based approach may highlight potentially ‘foregrounded’ discourse and tentatively propose the idea of ‘affective texture’. This talk will be of interest to anyone interested in digital and cognitive approaches to written text analysis, as well as those with an interest in medical humanities. Biography: Ross Deans McLachlan is a 3rd year PhD student in the English Language and Linguistics working under the supervision of Professor Marc Alexander and Dr. Catherine Emmott. His thesis combines digital and cognitive approaches to text analysis. In particular, he is interested in the rhetorical and argumentative uses of narrative discourse, especially in the area of medical ‘life writing’. 2. Robert Lennon: Title: Fussed, second, thud: Mouse tracking reveals implicit perception of ambiguous /r/ in Glasgow Abstract: In Glasgow, speakers are stereotypically rhotic, pronouncing /r/ in words like 'car' and 'hurt' (Wells 1982). However, although rhoticity is increasing in middle class Glaswegian (Lawson et al. 2011; Lennon 2012), there is a trend towards the loss of postvocalic /r/ in working class speech (Stuart-Smith 2007). Misperception occurs when listeners hear minimal pairs such as 'hut/hurt' spoken by working class speakers, due to the perceptual and acoustic similarity of the /r/ with the preceding vowel (Lennon 2014; 2015). Increased long-term experience decreases this difficulty, and short-term exposure promotes changes in perception (ibid. 2016). The present experiment investigated the timecourse of this perception, using the mouse tracking paradigm (Spivey et al. 2005). Words (e.g. 'hut', 'hurt', 'fussed', 'first', 'thud', 'third'; produced by one working class and one middle class speaker) were played over headphones, and Glaswegian listeners clicked on the onscreen options displaying the words they thought they heard - as they moved the mouse towards their chosen response the cursor trajectories were recorded. A suite of analysis methods revealed that listeners found it significantly harder to distinguish working class minimal pairs than middle class minimal pairs, following predictions. Additionally, middle class pairs were easier to distinguish when they were heard in isolation, than when they were heard alongside working class words. This appears to demonstrate the difficulty of perceptually switching between two speakers (Mullenix & Pisoni 1990), even though all speakers and listeners in the experiment were native to Glasgow. Biography: Robert Lennon is in the final year of his PhD in English Language and Linguistics at the University of Glasgow. He is working under the supervision of Professor Jane Stuart Smith and Dr. Rachel Smith --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2017 14:08:01 +0000 From: Jacob Ward Subject: CfP: The British Post Office in the Telecommunications Era The British Post Office in the Telecommunications Era This is a call for papers for a workshop which will explore the history of the British Post Office from its monopolisation of the telegraph service in 1869 under control of the state until the privatisation of the telecommunications business as British Telecom. The history of the Post Office’s communication networks has, until recently, long been one of state monopoly, and the twentieth-century Post Office was both one of the UK’s largest state bureaucracies and largest employers. However, in contrast, it is apparent that histories of the Post Office are as disconnected as they are diverse, and so this workshop will synthesise these approaches and foreground the Post Office. We are influenced by numerous histories where the Post Office is explored on diverse registers. For example, Duncan Campbell-Smith (2012) explores the history of the Post Office as a business organisation since its inception, whereas Patrick Joyce (2013) locates the Post Office as central to the networks and systems of the state used to communicate power. Business and the state alone, however, are not our foci: from Frank Bealey’s (1976) observation of the unique position of Post Office engineering staff as Civil Servants, to Iwan Rhys Morus’ (2000) analysis of the telegraph’s promise of “instant intelligence” to Victorian society and the state, there has long been recognised an intrinsic technological element to the modern Post Office. How might these histories be synthesised? There are histories which include the Post Office’s role in regulating the emergence of radio astronomy (Agar, 1998), the interaction of computerisation and mechanisation with gender workplace relations (Hicks, 2017), and with the Post Office Savings Bank (Campbell-Kelly, 1998). There are now projects which explore the Post Office’s role in developing assistive technologies for hearing loss (AHRC/Action for Hearing Loss) and as a site of government research (AHRC/The Science Museum). This range of subjects will therefore draw on and speak to different specialties: general history, political history, science and technology studies (including history of science and technology), business history, and cultural history. This call for papers recognises this fact, whilst seeking to focus discussion productively by asking for papers that satisfy the following criteria: a) papers that take a primarily historical approach; b) papers that focus on the British Post Office; c) papers that broadly discuss the Post Office and technology; d) papers that focus on the Post Office commencing from its monopolisation of telecommunications networks. Possible subjects include, but are not restricted to: * Technological systems and the Post Office * The bureaucratic Post Office (the “Government Machine”) * The material and visual culture of the telephone and telegraph services * The telephone and telegraph services in popular culture * Architecture, exchange buildings and sorting offices * Mechanisation, parcel sorting and exchange automation * Involvement in wartime science and technology projects (e.g. Colossus) * Gender and Post Office telecom, from telephone users to operators * The Post Office and assistive technologies (e.g. hearing aids, amplified telephones) * Financial technologies (“FinTech”) in historical context, e.g. National Giro, Post Office Savings Bank * Regulation, broadcasting and the airwaves, from pirate radio to radio telescopes * The Post Office and privatisation, the creation of British Telecom * Comparative/connective national historiographies of the Post Office 'The British Post Office in the Telecommunications Era' will take place at The Science Museum on 31st August 2017. Registration will be free. We invite proposals for twenty-minute papers. Proposals of no more than 350 words, together with the name and institutional affiliation of the speaker should be sent to Jacob Ward at jacob.ward.12@ucl.ac.uk. The closing date for submissions is 1st May 2017. The workshop is convened by PhD candidates Rachel Boon, University of Manchester, Alice Haigh, University of Leeds, and Jacob Ward, UCL, in conjunction with The Science Museum.

I know, I used to be one of them many years ago. Now, before you get me wrong - good design patterns are very important and good and cost effective when you deal with a **product** that will always develop and change; this is because the pattern, once built, decreases the time you need to maintain, fix and test both that the new code works and that it did not break something else (OCP - open-closed principle).

I am propelled this way by this passage in a piece by Darren O'Donnell "Social Practice, Children and the Possibility of Friendship" in Blast Counterblast ed by Anthony Elms and Steve Reinke (Toronto: Mercer Union, 2011) This displacement of critical categories away form notions of craftsmanship and virtuosity allows for an easier involvement of the nonartist, children and young people, particularly populations who may be marginal to the dominant culture and thus less conversant with the language and postures of art. I invite subscribers to Humanist to consider the various productions of Haircuts by Children mounted by Mammalian Diving Reflex (with which O'Donnell is associated): a performance about trust, children's rights, generosity and vanity, where ten-year-olds offer free haircuts to the public. This has been mounted in several cities around the world. http://mammalian.ca/projects/ I raise this because the discourse of skill implied in the thread on craft in creation needs to account for the soft skills that are necessary for the coordination of collaboration. Curatorial skills also have pride of place in humanities computing. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 2D06D8AB5; Wed, 1 Mar 2017 07:23:38 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 31CCC8AAC; Wed, 1 Mar 2017 07:23:37 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id F208B8AAB; Wed, 1 Mar 2017 07:23:33 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170301062333.F208B8AAB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 1 Mar 2017 07:23:33 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.796 summer school: Digital Methods for Visual Research (Amsterdam) 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: <20170301062337.12791.84506@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 796.

Digital Methods for Visual Research 26 June – 7 July 2017 Digital Methods Initiative Media Studies University of Amsterdam Turfdraagsterpad 9 1012 XT Amsterdam The 2017 Digital Methods Summer School is held in cooperation with RMeS, the Netherlands Research School for Media Studies http://www.rmes.nl/ . Get the Picture. Digital Methods for Visual Research Gillian Rose employs the term visual methodologies for “researching with visual materials” (2016). Iconography, semiotics, framing analysis and multimodal analysis are among the approaches that may be applied to digital materials. One may also ask, does the online make a difference to the study of the visual? That is, with which approaches is the image considered primarily, or secondarily, as a digital object embedded in online media? Apart from the change in the setting of the object, there may also be methods that emerge from the new media, engines and platforms. What kinds of so-called ‘natively’ digital methods can be repurposed productively for visual analysis? How to make use of the Google’s reverse image search? More broadly, with the increasing focus on selfies and memes but also on Instagram stories, animated gifs, filters, stickers and emoticons, social media and digital communications are pushing for a visual turn in the study of digital culture. Such a push invites visual analysis into the realm of digital studies, too. One may begin to open the discussion of interplay by examining the new outputs such as journalists’ data visualisations as well as policy-makers’ dashboards like the open data city platforms. One may similarly compare visual literacies. Are there new ways of interpreting images through data, both substantively (which are the related materials?) and temporally (how do they develop over time? do they resonate? are they memes?). In digital methods, the image is not only a research object but also a research device. Making images “that can be seen and manipulated” (Venturini, Jacomy & Pereira 2015) enables scholars to access and actively explore datasets. How to make them and read them? At the same time, the technical properties of digital images both in terms of their color, resolution, and timestamp, as well as their ‘networkedness’, traceability and resonance, become available for research, allowing one to think with images (as visual guides and narratives) as well as through them (as data objects). Novel visual methodologies then emerge. There is the ‘active’ data visualisation, which includes research protocol diagrams, data dashboards, visual network analysis, and issue mapping. Protocol diagrams (Figure 1) guide analysts, programmers and designers through their collaborative research project. Data dashboards offer a visual aid for data metrics and analytics, in side-by-side graphs and tables; or become critical tools (as in the People’s Dashboard . Visual network analysis offers a way into data that can be engaged with and requires an active research attitude (Venturini, Jacomy & Pereira 2015). Issue mapping renders legible the actors and substance of a (possibly controversial) issue (Rogers, Sánchez-Querubín & Kil 2015). In a second group of approaches, the image is treated as a digitised or natively digital object of study. This includes visual and cultural analytics, which provide distant visual reading techniques to explore and plot visual objects such as selfies and websites based on their formal properties (Manovich 2014; Ben-David, Amram & Bekkerman 2016). Networked visual content analysis, in which images may be queried ‘in reverse’ to study their circulation, can be used to critically assess questions of representation and cultural standing (Figure 2). Another group of approaches repurpose visual formats, where more playful explorations appropriate (and tweak) the templates and visual aesthetics of the web, creating research GIFs and critical social media profiles (Figure 3). In this 10th Digital Methods Summer School we will explore and expand such digital methods for visual research, and critically inquire into their proposed epistemologies. We look forward to welcoming you to Amsterdam in the Summertime! Summer School Philosophy The Digital Methods Summer School is exploratory and experimental. It is not a setting for ‘just’ tool training or for principally tool-driven research. Substantive research projects are conceived and carried out. Participants are encouraged to ‘span time with their issue’ and the materials. In other words, we heed Alexander Galloway’s admonition about data and tool-driven work: “Those who were formerly scholars or experts in a certain area are now recast as mere tool users beholden to the affordances of the tool — while students spend ever more time mastering menus and buttons, becoming literate in a digital device rather than a literary corpus” (Galloway 2014:127). We encourage device and corpus literacy! The device training we ask you to do prior to the Summer School through online tutorials, and at the Summer School itself, in a kind of flipped learning environment (if you'll excuse the overused phrase), we would like to believe that you have familiarised yourself already with the tools and completed the tutorials available online. During the Summer School we will discuss and tinker with the nitty-gritty, aim to invent new methods, techniques and heuristics and create the first iterations of compelling work to be shared. About Digital Methods as a Concept Digital methods is a term coined as a counterpoint to virtual methods, which typically digitize existing methods and port them onto the Web. Digital methods, contrariwise, seek to learn from the methods built into the dominant devices online, and repurpose them for social and cultural research. That is, the challenge is to study both the info-web as well as the social web with the tools that organize them. There is a general protocol to digital methods. At the outset stock is taken of the natively digital objects that are available (links, tags, threads, etc.) and how devices such as search engines make use of them. Can the device techniques be repurposed, for example by remixing the digital objects they take as inputs? Once findings are made with online data, where to ground them? Is the baseline still the offline, or are findings to be grounded in more online data? Taking up these questions more theoretically (but also practically) there is also a Digital Methods book http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/digital-methods (MIT Press, 2013) as well as a complementary Issue Mapping book (Amsterdam University Press, 2015), and other digital methods publications . About the Digital Methods Summer School The Digital Methods Summer School, founded ten years ago, in 2007, together with the Digital Methods Initiative, is directed by Prof. Richard Rogers, Chair in New Media & Digital Culture and Department Chair at Media Studies, University of Amsterdam. The Summer School is one training opportunity provided by the Digital Methods Initiative (DMI). DMI also has a Winter School which includes a mini-conference, where papers are presented and responded to. Winter School papers are often the result of Summer School projects. The Summer School is coordinated by PhD candidates in New Media at the University of Amsterdam, or affiliates. This year the coordinators are Sabine Niederer, Natalia Sánchez-Quérubin and Fernando van der Vlist. The Summer School has a technical staff as well as a design staff, drawn from the ranks of Density Design in Milan. The Summer School also relies on a technical infrastructure of some nine servers hosting tools and storing data, which recently (and intrepidly) moved to the cloud. In a culture of experimentation and skill-sharing, participants bring their laptops, learn method, undertake research projects, make reports, tools and graphics and write them up on the Digital Methods wiki. The Summer School concludes with final presentations. Often there are subject matter experts from non-governmental or other organizations who present their analytical needs and issues at the outset and the projects seek to meet those needs, however indirectly. For instance, Women on Waves came along during the 2010, Fair Phone to the 2012 Summer School and Greenpeace International and their Gezi Park project in 2013 as well as the COP21 Lima project in 2015. We have worked on the issue of rewilding eco-spaces with NGOs in the 2014 Summer School. More recently we have sought to repopulate city dashboards (Summer School 2015 and Winter School 2017).

And in a similar way to digital humanities, those working in modern languages might not immediately see how they could use fabrication technologies in their teaching and research. For its session at the 2018 MLA Convention (4-7 January in New York City), ACH invites proposals that highlight how 3D printing, soft circuits, or other methods of physical fabrication are used to teach languages or literature *or* to conduct linguistic or literary research. Speakers will give brief talks (4-6 minutes, depending on number of participants) that address the praxis of printing and the metaphysics of physicalization. While a discussion of *what you made* and *how you made it* will naturally feature in these talks, it is more important to discuss how the act of making contributed to the understanding of languages and/or literatures. In this way, this session is cousin to the ACH’s 2014 session at the MLA http://ach.org/2013/03/12/beyond-digital-cfp-mla-2014/ . Please send abstracts of 250 words (not including references) to brian [dot] croxall [at] brown [dot] edu. Abstracts should be received by *5pm EST / GMT-5 on 15 March 2017*. N.B. All accepted panelists will need to be current MLA members—or have their membership waived—*by 7 April 2017*. Since the ACH is an allied organization of the MLA, this session is *guaranteed to be accepted* for the 2018 MLA. Please consider submitting a proposal!

If this offends anybody, I sincerely apologise. This is not my intention. For good artisans and engineers "beauty" is displayed by the well-made-ness of their work. It's not an optional extra. And I don't think it's an optional extra for artists and their work either. Design patterns and their good use are important in other kinds of engineering too, not just in Software Engineering. In mechanism design, for example, the mechanical engineer is expected to know these patterns, and to use them well, and to know what their advantages, limits, and weaknesses are, as well as their typical modes of wear, failure, and repair. An important part of artisanal and engineering practice is learning how well things really work and how they actually fail. When the stuff we make things from is governed by physical law, this is not so hard to do, with care and discipline. But with software stuff, whose behaviour is hardly governed by any laws, I would say, it seems to be harder to get to know what works well, why, and in what conditions, and to know why, when, and how things ware out and fail. Even detecting failure can be hard. For these reasons, I would say, the "beauty" of the code is even more important. This is especially true, I think, for stand alone projects. Software built for these projects may not be used by many or any others. Others' use always helps to identify poor design, weaknesses, and failures. In all research and scholarship, as in any other professional practice, the quality of its outcomes is directly dependent upon the quality of the tools used to do the work, and how well the tools are used. Poor tools, no matter how well used, cannot deliver good research and scholarship. A responsibility of researchers and scholars is thus to always be sure that the quality of the tools they use is the best possible. Isn't this what is important? Not how much can be saved by not letting in "artists" and "beauty" seekers. I'll be happy to be corrected!

The Conference has served as an out-standing platform for the exchange of ideas between research, teaching and industry since 1978. The speakers and the invited guests come from universities, libraries, collections and museums or contribute their business and industrial experience. The conferences are renowned for the breadth and topicality of the papers presented. You can find information on previous conferences at: www.eisenbibliothek.ch. This international and interdisciplinary event is organized by the Iron Library (Eisenbibliothek), Foundation of Georg Fischer Ltd. Responsibility for the content of the conference is in the hands of a scientific advisory board consisting of Dr. Gisela Hürlimann (ETH Zurich), Prof. Reinhold Reith (University of Salzburg) and Prof. Friedrich Steinle (TU Berlin), and it is they who decide on the selection of the speakers. We kindly invite interested persons involved in research, teaching and practice to apply to present a paper. Conference topic in 2017: Colors in Technology – Technology of Colors Throughout history, human cultures have used color to decorate their artifacts – amphorae and motor cars, textiles and smartphones – and technological processes have always been involved in obtaining and producing these colors, whether they are dyestuffs, pigments or paints. The 2017 Conference on the History of Technology will focus on Colors in Technology and Technology (or Technologies) of Colors, both in a European perspective and from a global-historical viewpoint. The subject raises a host of different questions and aspects. How were such 'colors' manufactured? By whom and for whom? And how was trade organized? What is the social status associated with specific colors (dyes, pigments, and paints), with the painter's or dyer's trade and with other related trades? What are the gender-specific roles? Dyeing textiles and leather has long played an important role in society. Indigo and madder, to take but one example, have undergone societal and economic ups and downs depending on the particular constellation of requirements, resources, processes and markets. In early modern times, for instance, indigo production in India, along with the commercial network that grew up around it, spelt the end for the flourishing woad trade in Europe, but in turn it largely collapsed under the onslaught of the chemical synthesis of indigo in the 19th century. Is this pattern repeated elsewhere? How and when were hazards to health and the environment detected, and what was the impact on the manufacture and use of dyestuffs? The early modern age began to standardize colors, starting with 17th and 18th century color charts to the binding norms, say, of the RAL color chart – what was the background to this standardization in terms of natural history, trade and fashion? How were color standards designed and developed and how did they gain acceptance given the well-known difficulties of quantifying color? When did people start coloring – painting and dyeing – technical artifacts? Which individuals – if any – were involved in the decision to do so? What viewpoints are important here, in terms of the societal situation and cultural emblems on the one hand and technical or economic possibilities and scientific results on the other? Where and how was color expertise developed? These and similar questions apply to colors used in architecture and on vehicles, colors used in signaling and on uniforms and clothing, and colors applied to machinery and objects of everyday use. How did the economic, social, and scientific dynamics develop that underlie the now ubiquitous use of colors to distinguish goods and trademarks with their distinctively gender-specific component? Lastly, how have colors been used – and how are they used today – in painting, in other figurative arts, and in the media, starting with medieval manuscript production to color printing, photography and film right up to modern-day display technologies? The reconstruction and restoration of historical coloring is becoming increasingly important, be it in works of art, in architecture or on technical objects. In what circumstances are such issues of interest? What practices and techniques, what historiographical and natural science research findings are in-volved, and how do the results affect science and society in turn? Proposals for papers on these and other color-related subjects are welcome. Format: The papers may be read in English or in German. Papers in German will be translated simultaneously into English at the Conference. The papers should not be more than 20 minutes in length. Papers that have been prepared to scientific standards may be selected for publication in the specialized journal Ferrum, which is published annually by the Iron Library. Interested applicants are kindly invited to submit a synopsis of their paper – no longer than two A4 pages (4'000 characters) – in English or German, along with an up-to-date resume, by 30 April 2017 to the Head of the Iron Library, lic. phil. Franziska Eggimann (franziska.eggimann@georgfischer.com). Organizational matters: The Iron Library, Foundation of Georg Fischer Ltd, will assume speakers' travel expenses and the cost of room and board during the Conference. We expect that speakers will attend the entire Conference. We request you to submit your synopsis by 30 April 2017. The selection of the speakers will be completed by the end of May 2017.

What about the magnificent beauty of a Rube Goldberg (or in Britain, Heath Robinson) machine? These are not "well-made" in the usual engineering sense: they go all around the houses to produce an effect (generally, a motion) that could be achieved more efficiently by refining the design. Indeed, these machines foreground their inefficiency: all those wheels and pulleys working together just to light a cigar or pull on a pair of trousers. You might say that these machines also exhibit "well-made-ness" in that they are difficult to construct, but in the terms that Smithers defines "well-made-ness" I think they do't. Indeed, part of the pleasure of observing one of these machines is the realization that although it might work that one time, it will soon wear and fail because it is so mightily inefficient, and very soon it will need repair. The beauty that is really being displayed by these machines is that of the laws of motion. That all this clattering around does, in the end, resolve into bringing that lighter to the tip of the cigar or pulling those trouser legs over the human legs. It's the apotheosis of abstraction, the treating of masses as if they were points and letting one motion cancel out another. Moreover, this is engineering as the lay-person can understand it. It's what you or I might do to try to solve a mechanical problem, thinking in terms of large masses clunking around whereas a professional engineer would refine the thing to its essential parts. I think this partly explains the popularity of the 'steam-punk' culture: the non-specialist can see how the thing works, whereas modern engineering refines a mechanism to the extent that we can no longer see it. And that is where I think the connection to computing comes in. I teach computers and programming to English literature students using paper tape and punched cards and logic gates made from relays, wires, lamps, and batteries. It's not just an aesthetic preference--although the old machines are rather 'cool', as the kids don't say--but also that the mechanisms at work are ones that non-specialists can understand. Indeed, they are engineering 'solutions' that we might come up with ourselves. How does this relate to software design? Well, my students don't write elegant code; far from it. But they write code that works, and that they understand. Their algorithms are in need of refinement, but they can explain to anyone how their algorithms do the particular bit of literary analysis they want them to do. They WORK, dammit, even though they're the software equivalent of Rube Goldberg machines. And the students can say "I made that", and "let me show you what it does". I realize that the above has been a paean to inelegance. If inelegance is the price we pay so that a klutz like me can get a computer to do what I want, I'm all for it. Better a Rube Goldberg machine we can all understand and control than a magic black box (like Google search?) that only an elite priesthood understands and controls.

Benzon" Subject: Re: 30.799 hands on In-Reply-To: <20170302072255.8FA568ABB@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard et al., I have some slightly tangential remarks on this hands-on business. 1. First, I have long felt that much/most literary criticism feels like the people doing it do not have a strong sense of ‘constructedness.’ For all I know, everyone one of them may be a highly skilled craftsman of some kind – carpentry, weaving, auto mechanics, jazz improvisation, baking, and so forth – but when they put in their critic’s cap, all that is forgotten. There’s little sense of literary works as crafted objects. 2. Though my programming skills are minimal (and I’ve never done more the small example programs) and long ago, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about computing. Back in the 1970s I studied computational semantics under David Hays, who was one of the first generation workers in machine translation. One of the things he impressed on me was the computation, real computation, is a physical process and thus subject to physical constraints. Too much talk about computation and information and the like treats them as immaterial substances, Cartesian res cogitans. Back in those days I bought a textbook on microprocessor design and read through several chapters. Of course what I got out of the exercise was not very deep, but it wasn’t trivial either. Eventually I bought my first microcomputer, a North Star Horizon (this was before the days of the IBM PC). And I got a content-addressed memory board manufactured by a small (and now defunct) company started by Sidney Lamb (another first-generation MT researcher). One day the display on my computer went kerflooey (not exactly a technical term). Well, I knew that video-display boards had a synch-generator chip and it seemed to me that the problems I was having might have been caused by trouble with that chip. So I examined the circuit diagram for the video board and located the synch-generator. And then opened the box, removed the board, located the synch-generator, and reseated it. When I replaced the board and turned on the machine, the display was working fine. It’d guessed right. That was years ago but I still remember it. Why? Because that gave me a tangible sense of the physicality of this information processing stuff. And I think all features of the story are important: 1) reading a text on microprocessor design, 2) somewhere reading about synch-generators, 3) having a problem with my machine and guessing about it’s nature, 4) consulting a circuit diagram of one board in my machine, 5) removing the board, 6) locating the chip on it, 7) reseating the chip, 8) reassembling the machine, and 9) testing it. It’s all part of the same story. And that’s a story that informs my sense of the physicality of computing. That’s very different from simply believing that whatever happens in your computer is physical because, well, what else could it be? But I don’t know just how I’d characterize the knowledge I got from that experience. It’s not abstract. I hesitate to say that it’s deep or profound. But it’s very very real.

It is a film showing an elaborate causal chain of events. (In 2003 a television advertisement featured a similar chain of events using Honda car parts.) Fischli and Weiss invest domestic artefacts with apparent lives of their own, each object setting in motion the next. The film shows a literal chain reaction. For example, a flame is lit that heats a kettle until it boils; the steam from its spout propels it down a railway track until it meets the next object and sets it moving.

This has grown to be a bit longer of a post, my apologies in advance, and no hard feelings if you scroll quickly :). I've been especially interested in parts of the discussion that explore code and beauty, in part because I do think that somewhere there is a sometimes useful distinction between some of what happens in, say, CS, and some of the development work that happens in DH (please forgive the awkward attempts to avoid wholesale characterization of either discipline). I'm not a computer scientist (though often enough I seem to be mistaken for one), but my impression based on considerable interactions is that code structure and form do matter a lot in CS pedagogy and research. Principles of code design can be not only about current best practices but can also be about a sense of aesthetics developed over time and that's often partly language-specific. Of course, having code that can achieve its intended purpose is usually important too. But my sense of coding in DH is much closer to what Gabriel Egan describes, which I take to have a much stronger *pragmatic* aspect. The Rube Goldberg is a wonderful example. In DH I often think of how Mark Olsen used to describe the wonderful ARTFL resource: it's awful spaghetti code, but it works! And for the user it most certainly did, it was blindingly fast and powerful and enabled all kinds of new research (past tense because I was more familiar with it in the 90s). Arguably, as a DH project, that's what mattered most. Having said that, I do recognize there are good reasons to write clear, sustainable code in larger projects. However, when I'm teaching coding I tend to ask more "does it do what you wanted" (which is rarely the end of the conversation); it's *not* about clarity, brevity, the use of certain functions, structures, libraries, etc.). I've found that introducing programming theory (or at least my grasp on the relevant parts) is usually counterproductive, at least at first. In fact, I usually don't even structure a programming course on programming concepts (strings, arrays, conditionals, etc.), but around DH tasks (cleaning, tokenizing, counting, etc.), and programming techniques come up on a need to know basis. We haven't fully succeeded in this and it's in need of an update, but if you're interested in a more concrete example of what I mean see http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/sgsinclair/alta/blob/master/ipynb/ArtOfLiteraryTextAnalysis.ipynb I find one of the biggest struggles in teaching project-oriented courses that are heavy on programming is to encourage students to first seek out someone else's code that could be used or adapted; the impulse for originality is deeply inculcated in humanities students and even with their familiar citation practices it can be hard for them to learn to reuse code as much as possible. There's also a catch-22: I don't want to teach programming concepts in the abstract, but it can be difficult to look for other code if you don't understand much of what you see. In fact, I usually spend much time working with students to practice and refine search engine queries to find useful tips and solutions - quite possibly the most useful thing students get from the course. I realize I'm already rambling on too much, but one final thing if I may: I do a lot of programming as a DHer and I wouldn't want to undevalorise that coding work. I take great personal pride and satisfaction in my craft, not because I write anything like beautiful code, but because some of what I make is useful to others and contributes in an original and scholarly way what might be called the state of the art of digital resource creation in DH (we're very close here to issues of evaluating digital works for hiring, tenure and promotion, needless to say). Coding for me is both creative and scholarly. Sometimes the ends are very modest: a one-liner to pre-process a text in a way that is incompatible with existing tools (or finding and learning the tools would be more time and hassle than it's worth). Sometimes the payoff is not in utility but in the pleasure of impressing a single colleague. And sometime it really is in the satisfaction in knowing other people have found enough merits in your resource to use it. In my mind it's all DH.

KIAS is again organizing a live-streamed world-wide conference, this year on the topic of Digital Media in a Post-Truth Era. The Around the World Conference is an annual event sponsored by KIAS that brings together research institutes and researchers from around the world for a dialogue without the environmental and other costs of traditional conferences. The full-day internet event will be held on Thursday, May 4, 2017. You can see past conferences at http://aroundtheworld.ualberta.ca. Why the theme of “Digital Media in a Post-Truth Era”? The unfolding of recent political events in the United States has sparked much debate around ‘fake news,’ disinformation and trustworthiness on the web. We hope to use these developments as a starting point for a broader discussion of how digital media has challenged and/or unsettled our notion of truth. The conference theme of ‘post-truth’ is loosely-defined and we welcome considerations of this topic from a wide range of perspectives: from the algorithmic to the philosophical. We welcome, as well, discussion of ‘post-truth’ as a notion reflecting a certain insularity and how questions of the ‘truthiness’ and the web resonate differently across the world. KIAS will: • support all the technological requirements in association with your tech support contact • create the schedule and event infrastructure, including the pre-recorded talks • advertise online and locally • digitally archive the event and host the talks for future use Those interested in presenting either individually or as part of a panel are asked to: * Submit a brief abstract (max. 150-200 words combined) by March 20.

DeriMo2017 concludes the Word Formation Latin (WFL) project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 658332-WFL. The project is based at the Centro Interdisciplinare di Ricerche per la Computerizzazione dei Segni dell’Espressione (CIRCSE: http://centridiricerca.unicatt.it/circse-home?rdeLocaleAttr=en), at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy. Submissions are invited for presentations featuring high quality and previously unpublished research on the topics described below. Contributions should focus on results from completed as well as ongoing research, with an emphasis on novel approaches, methods, ideas, and perspectives, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. Proceedings will be published, open-access, in time for the workshop. MOTIVATION AND AIMS Until very recently, in the areas of Language Resources and Natural Language Processing (NLP), derivational morphology has always been neglected if compared to inflectional morphology. Yet the recent rise of lexical resources for derivational morphology have demonstrated that enhancing textual data with derivational morphology tagging can lead to strong outcomes. First, it organises the lexicon at higher level than words, by building word formation based sets of lexical items sharing a common derivational ancestor. Secondly, derivational morphology acts like a kind of interface between morphology and semantics, since core semantic properties are shared at different extent by words built by a common word formation process. In the lively area of research aimed at building computational resources and tools for ancient languages, the WFL project fills a gap in the variety of those available for Latin, connecting lexical items on the basis of word formation rules. For a work-in-progress version of the resource, please visit http://wfl.marginalia.it. This workshop wants to be both an opportunity for the presentation of WFL to the wider community, and a place where confrontation with other scholars engaged in the treatment of derivational morphology for different languages (either modern or ancient) can arise, and potentials for the cross-linguistic sharing of techniques and methods can be discussed. TOPICS The Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology aims at covering a wide range of topics. In particular, the topics to be addressed in the workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: - resources for derivational morphology - connecting the derivational morphology level of annotation in language resources with other levels of linguistic analysis (e.g. semantic, syntactic…) - (NLP) tools for the semi-automatic creation of resources for derivational morphology - (NLP) tools including components of derivational morphology - empirically based comparative and multilingual studies on derivational morphology - empirically based diachronic studies on derivational morphology - query tools for derivational morphology resources - theoretical issues in derivational morphology.

The symposium will bring together leading scholars from the digital humanities and design to explore these increasingly convergent fields, and to identify additional possibilities for their intersection. We will facilitate a series of multi-format conversations around topics of shared concern, including the role of practice (and other applied forms of research) in each field; the similarities and differences between each field’s design processes; theories of speculation as they have been developed through the humanities and design; and how these two fields, together, might rally to address pressing matters of social and political concern. We are seeking to assemble a diverse group of symposium participants that spans a range of scholarly fields, institutional settings, and career levels.

Preliminary Program Live! We are happy to announce that the preliminary program is now available on the BitCurator Consortium website. The first day of the Forum will consist of two workshop tracks focusing on digital forensics and the BitCurator software environment for both novices and advanced users. The first track, Testing the BitCurator Waters, is aimed at exposing novice users to the environment in order to ensure that all attendees will have common reference points for the activities on day two. The second advanced track, Diving Deep with BitCurator, will feature discussions and problem-solving sessions around desired functionality, as well as workflow breakdowns and their potential solutions. For day two, The Program Committee is finalizing presentations on developments in software, discussions of workflows and documentation, the state of digital forensics in academic libraries and archives, as well as a panel discussion about the ethical implications of forensic analysis. There will also be dedicated sessions for lightning talks and birds of feather breakout group style discussions. Register for the 2017 BitCurator Users Forum here: https://bitcuratorconsortium.org/registration Deadline for Proposing Lightning Talks and Birds of a Feather Discussions Extended Speaking of Lightning Talks and Birds of a Feather Discussions, the Program Committee has extended the deadline for proposals for these until March 28, 2017. Both are intended to be more informal than traditional panels, and are meant to update the audience or provoke a discussion amongst fellow practitioners. If you have a project you have been working on, a kernel of an idea you'd like to get feedback on, or anything beyond and in-between please submit your proposals for either a lightning talk or birds-of-a-feather discussion here. Sponsorship information Finally, the Program Committee would like to thank our initial sponsors, Digital Intelligence http://www.digitalintelligence.com/ and Digital Library Federation, whose generous support has helped to make the expanded 2017 BitCurator Users Forum possible.

There isn't just one. Do you mean minimalist, symmetrical, and functional? A Rube Goldberg machine is none of those. At best it is functional, but sometimes I think not even then -- it is too easy to break. But how about Baroque coding? Gothic? Romantic? And so much of the history of the concept of beauty is related to its relationship to nature that we are excluding a lot of this history of beauty from consideration just by applying it to code. Let's consciously articulate an aesthetics of coding first.

I then thought of the idea that was popular in the 1970s of building software twice: once in an exploratory fashion and then again as a "rational reconstruction". The problem with spaghetti code is that the program is no longer malleable. Fixing bugs or enhancing it becomes increasingly difficult. See Winograd (1973) Breaking the complexity barrier again http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=951764 . Jaron Lanier in You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto describes the joy and beauty of creating small programs and how those qualities are lost when creating large programs. -ken kahn On 4 March 2017 at 14:50, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 803. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > [1] From: David Zeitlyn > (20) > Subject: Re 30.801 hands on! & Beauty > > [2] From: Stéfan_Sinclair > (15) > Subject: Re: 30.799 hands on [Re: Humanist Digest, Vol 102, Issue > 3] > > > --[1]------------------------------------------------------- > Date: Fri, 3 Mar 2017 15:04:34 +0000 > From: David Zeitlyn > Subject: Re 30.801 hands on! & Beauty > In-Reply-To: <7e941812-908d-4173-9c32- > 04f04353e9a1@HUB02.ad.oak.ox.ac.uk> > > > Dear all > As a riff on Gabriel Egan's evocation of Rube Goldberg / Heath Robinson > let me commend to you the video of two Swiss installation artists: > > Peter Fischli, and David Weiss, 'Der lauf der dinge' (The life of things > 1987) and the role of causality in it.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2017 17:34:04 +0000 From: James Cummings Subject: Announcing the launch of REED Online ANNOUNCING THE LAUNCH OF REED ONLINE The Records of Early English Drama (REED) project is delighted to announce the launch of /REED Online/ (http://ereed.library.utoronto.ca), its new open-access website. The site features REED's first digital edition of dramatic records for the county of Staffordshire, encoded in TEI. Easily searched with a number of useful filters, online records appear conveniently on the same page as their translations, document descriptions, and any glosses or related endnotes. GIS mapping based on the /Patrons and Performances/ map of historic county boundaries and main roads illuminates significant details further. For students and those new to records research, search tips, an introduction to the research process, and an anatomy of a sample record provide a welcoming guide. The /Staffordshire/ records, edited by J.A.B. Somerset, are found in scattered collections, but they yield fascinating glimpses of early social and economic history through accounts of public performances, social occasions, royal welcomes, folk customs, and professional entertainments. A few examples highlight the richness of the collection, which includes two royal visits – by Queen Elizabeth in 1576 and, more extensively, King James I in 1615. The records of Tutbury, whose castle was a major administrative centre for the household of John of Gaunt, show us from 1380 a flourishing Minstrel Court while the accounts of Burton Manor, home to Thomas, Lord Paget reveal an Elizabethan household filled with music, playing, and revels. By contrast, Newcastle under Lyme sources record evidence of implacable hatred of players, levying large fines upon persons who allowed playing, and firing the town constable for turning a blind eye. For those interested in tracking the itineraries of professional troupes across the kingdom, new details of performance troupes visiting Stafford and Walsall as well as the private residences of Beaudesert, Blithfield, and Burton will be important. /Staffordshire/ is REED's pilot digital publication, with more collections forthcoming on the same website to enable easy cross-collection searching. As REED begins planning for the production of the next collection for the county of Berkshire, the integration of /Patrons and Performances/ data, and the further development of /REED Online/, it welcomes all comments and suggestions from users. Please send any feedback to REED’s project manager, Carolyn Black, at ca.black@utoronto.ca. REED gives special thanks to the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for a Connection grant that has made possible development of our digital publishing framework for /REED Online/. -- Dr James Cummings,James.Cummings@it.ox.ac.uk Academic IT Services, University of Oxford _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, 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 486358ACA; Sun, 5 Mar 2017 08:08:05 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2D6F68AC1; Sun, 5 Mar 2017 08:08:04 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 233FA8879; Sun, 5 Mar 2017 08:07:59 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170305070800.233FA8879@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sun, 5 Mar 2017 08:07:59 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.807 events: The Future of Our Universities 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: <20170305070804.8255.38809@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 807.

How will they be funded, how accessible will they be, and how will they be affected by Brexit? These and many other issues will be debated at a special London Review Bookshop event. Stefan Collini, whose latest book Speaking of Universities challenges the marketisation of higher education, will be joined by writer and academic Marina Warner; former Conservative Minister for Universities David Willetts; and Dinah Birch, Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the University of Liverpool. FROM THE ARCHIVE London Review of Books STEFAN COLLINI Sold Out (LRB 35.20, 24 October 2013) A for-profit private provider is a business like any other: even though it may make a lot of noise about its ‘educational mission’ and so on, it is geared to making money for parent companies, directors and shareholders. MARINA WARNER Learning My Lesson (LRB 37.6, 19 March 2015) Cuts are the tools of the ideological decision to stop subsidising tuition and to start withdrawing from directly supporting research. What we are in effect moving towards is the privatisation of higher education. DINAH BIRCH The Perfect Plot Device (LRB 30.14, 17 July 2008) Ruth Brandon claims the uncompromising Emily Davies, whose educational campaigns lay behind the foundation of Girton College in 1869, as the single-handed liberator of all British women: ‘It was she who finally destroyed the vicious circle that confined women to the elementary level of education, and secondary place in society, that governesses were employed not only to impart but to perpetuate.’ -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University and North Carolina State University; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20) _______________________________________________ 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 F1DD18AE2; Tue, 7 Mar 2017 07:34:26 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id EBCC98ADD; Tue, 7 Mar 2017 07:34:25 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6591B8840; Tue, 7 Mar 2017 07:34:22 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170307063422.6591B8840@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2017 07:34:22 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.808 summer school: Digital Editing & Digital Humanities X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20170307063426.29545.69843@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 808.

Madrid, 15-17 March, UNED or online --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 6 Mar 2017 08:44:18 +0000 From: Dariya Rafiyenko Subject: Call for Papers: A corpus and usage-based approach to Ancient Greek FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS: A corpus and usage-based approach to Ancient Greek: from the Archaic period until the Koiné Riga, University of Latvia, April 12-14, 2018 It has been a long standing tradition in linguistics since de Saussure to distinguish between langue and parole. The former was considered to represent a self-sufficient system consisting of well-defined and distinct categories and sharp constraints that interact at different levels of language such as morphology, syntax or lexicon to produce grammatical utterances. For example, mainstream generative approach inherited this spirit of thinking from the earlier structuralists. This understanding of language consequently shapes the way the argumentation and analysis is carried out. The evidence must either corroborate the analysis or be assigned a different category. Fuzzy boundaries – a phenomenon widely discussed in the literature (inter alia, Ungerer & Schmid 1999: 23) – are not easily dealt with here, exactly as ongoing change (cf. Hopper (1987)’s “Emergent Grammar”) as well as aspects of actual usage. This approach has been challenged by the usage-based approach to linguistics (Bybee 2010) in which parole becomes the subject of investigation as it is precisely the usage that shapes the linguistic structure. The latter is, in turn, considered to be constrained by general cognitive processes such as automatization, analogy or categorization as well as sociolinguistic factors. Language dynamics as observed from synchronic and/or diachronic corpus data provides here an important piece of evidence, since language development must be crucially shaped by language usage. Since linguistic experiments or grammaticality judgments are not available to linguists working on Ancient Greek the research on it has been inevitably corpus-driven and crucially based on language use (and, e.g., not on constructed examples). Moreover, it is well-known in Classical Philology that different authors represent sometimes not only different dialects (as, for example, Herodotus with his Ionic based variety) but also different styles which orient themselves onto different stages of language development. The strong urge towards imitation of the previous literary tradition which was perceived as a model is a serious confounding factor for the linguistic research. For example, Plutarch – even though in principle belonging to the Roman period – imitates a number of features from previous periods. Furthermore, other factors may also obscure the study as, for example, the phenomenon of text reuse in the historiographical tradition where texts of earlier authors were repeatedly reused as sources and passages from them – sometimes with, sometimes without changes – were integrated into later works. This dialectally and socially based variation creates a serious confusion when analysing Ancient Greek from a grammarian’s perspective. It seems, however, possible to overcome the potential inconsistency of the data with which we are confronted by exploiting tools and methods from usage-based approaches such as measuring statistically significant effects of a particular pattern for a particular period as opposed to other patterns and periods. This can allow us to gloss over the particular characteristics of the writings of individual authors, while still being able to establish trends that are typical for a particular period of Ancient Greek. This kind of approach has been successfully adopted in, for example, Bentein (2016) and Crellin (2012) in relation to diachronic trends in the Greek verb. While unfortunately there is no linguistically oriented corpus of Ancient Greek for all its periods there are a number of linguistic small corpora focusing on particular authors or periods available that may successfully be used by linguists such as the collection of (automatically) annotated Ancient Greek corpora at INESS / “Ancient Greek” prepared by different projects/scholars such as the PROIEL project at U Oslo or Perseus Project at U Buffalo and U Leipzig. Of course, there is the largest and almost exhaustive corpus of Ancient Greek Thesaurus Linguae Graecae but, unfortunately, it is not open-access and it is not tagged for linguistic purposes. The aim of this conference is to gather researchers that exploit statistical and corpus obtained data for their analyses and claims. Importantly, we do not conceive of corpus data as data that are obtained by some technical, “automated” tool, we are equally interested in the research based on manually collected samples or databases that may be used to identify specific trends which in turn are integrated into the analysis. This is all the more important since it is currently not always an easy task for a linguist or philologist to obtain corpus data. Moreover, in this workshop, we would like to focus on usage-based research into Ancient Greek while methodological and technical aspects are subordinate at this conference. We call for submissions on any aspect of Ancient Greek (from the Homeric period until the Koiné) – including not only grammarians’ but also sociolinguistic and variational studies – that are based on corpus or statistical data.

I didn't define what well-made-ness is. At least, I didn't set out to do this. I don't think we should try. I don't think this is needed. Well-made-ness is to be discovered. As a designer, engineer, and scientist, I see beauty in the well-made-ness of the drawings of Rube Goldberg (RG) and Heath Robinson (HR). For me, they both display much invention and craft, in their different styles. Goldberg started (professional) life as an engineer, but soon became a cartoonist, and never (as far as I know) built any of his "machines." Robinson started as a book illustrator, and had no formal engineering education. He too, as far as I know, never built any of his inventions. Others have, as we've been hearing, built RG or HR machines, or likenesses thereof. Perhaps many of us have. I passed lots of happy hours building RG/HR-like "sequential happening machines" with my kids, when they were younger. And, like others, we used what was at hand: toys, in whole or in part; kitchen utensils; empty tins and boxes; cardboard; string; straws; paper clips; pencils; whatever we had that could be made to do the job. It took plenty of care, patience, experimentation, testing, skill and practice, and an understanding of how things happen in the real world, and how mechanisms can be used to do things, and make other things happen. But we're told these contraptions weren't "well-made in the usual engineering sense?" I disagree. They were well made made in the usual engineering sense. They just weren't what engineers usually build, except perhaps when their kids are young, and they don't look like the things engineers usually build. Just because something looks jerry-rigged, and is not made to last, does not necessarily mean it hasn't been made with care, understanding, and various well applied skills. Indeed, for these sequential happening machines to work well enough--which was decided by my kids, not by me--they had to be built well, just like anything that must work well-enough. And, just as for any usual engineering work, knowing what counted as working well-enough, and what it took to get this, was key to success. In the context, looking a bit mad and lashed-up was an important needed quality. Using an old but still working clock mechanism was not allowed, for example; we built what was needed from string, cardboard, and cotton reels (anybody remember these?). We should not confuse what something looks like, and for what it was made, with how it was made, and what it took to make it, except, perhaps, when looking at a good Rube Goldberg or Heath Robinson cartoon. I'll stick my neck out further. I think we don't need to articulate a concept of beauty here either, be it minimalist, symmetrical, functional, Baroque, Gothic, or Romantic. Beauty, in all these traditions and styles, as well as in Nature, lies, I think, in the well-made-ness of what we look upon, or listen to, or smell, or touch, or taste. Appreciating this beauty often requires certain knowledge, understanding, and expertise in the making involved, or, at least, is the better for these. For artists, artisans, and engineers, and others, beauty is inherent in the well-made-ness of things: Natural things, and human made things. We each bring our own, often different, knowledges, understandings, and experiences of making to our looking upon things. We thus see beauty in different things, in different ways, and sometimes not at all. As a structural engineer, for example, I see stunning beauty in things like the Eiffel Tower, in Paris, and the The Forth Bridge, the railway bridge over the Firth of Forth just north of Edinburgh, Scotland: looked at from afar and right up close. In large part, I would say this is because I understand the design and construction of structures like these. The beauty we see is, in my experience, the greater the more we've had "in our hands" the thing we look upon. Perhaps the strongest beauty is in the outcomes of our own explorations and discoveries, and the knowledge and understanding we gain from this exploration and discovery. Which is how I understand Seymour Papert's teachings. [A teacher I follow, including using his Logo programming language to make paintings.] I'll now run and take cover.

There isn't just one. Do you mean minimalist, symmetrical, and functional? A Rube Goldberg machine is none of those. At best it is functional, but sometimes I think not even then -- it is too easy to break. But how about Baroque coding? Gothic?

'Hands on' has been among the most recently comment-provoking topics. One reason for this is likely to be that there are a number of people here who have had their hands on making things with computers (though the Raspberry Pi et al. haven't been mentioned, alas, except by implication in Gabriel Egan's note a while back). Another reason could be that having hands on the humanities by means of computing has special and wide appeal. A friend recently proposed renaming digital humanities "digital semiotics", a term with strong appeal, I'd think, though perhaps too much in the head. How difficult it is to avoid the mind/body dualism, however false and pernicious we may think it is. As an undergraduate discovering calligraphy (at Reed College) was a revelatory experience because, I remember thinking, it provided a way to bring the two together, to work out their mutual affinity and allow the rest to take its course. But then, by then, I had had many years of experience coding :-).

Guided by the vision of its founders, Lawrence J. Schoenberg and Barbara Brizdle Schoenberg, SIMS aims to bring manuscript culture, modern technology, and people together to provide access to and understanding of our shared intellectual heritage. Part of the Penn Libraries, SIMS oversees an extensive collection of pre-modern manuscripts from around the world, with a special focus on the history of philosophy and science, and creates open-access digital content to support the study of its collections. SIMS also hosts the Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts http://sdbm.library.upenn.edu/ and the annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age . The SIMS Visiting Research Fellowships have been established to encourage research relating to the pre-modern manuscript collections at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, including the Schoenberg Collection. Affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, located near other manuscript-rich research collections (the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and the Rosenbach Museum and Library, among many others), and linked to the local and international scholarly communities, SIMS offers fellows a network of resources and opportunities for collaboration. Fellows will be encouraged to interact with SIMS staff, Penn faculty, and other medieval and early modern scholars in the Philadelphia area. Fellows will also be expected to present their research at Penn Libraries either during the term of the fellowship or on a selected date following the completion of the term. Applications are due May 1, 2017. More information on eligibility and the application process is available here: https://schoenberginstitute.org/visiting-research-fellowships-2 . For more information on SIMS, go to http://schoenberginstitute.org/. On Penn's pre-modern manuscript holdings in general, go to: http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/medren. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Mar 2017 17:35:11 +0000 From: Gabriel BODARD Subject: Job: Postdoctoral Research Assistant: Enlightenment Architectures (British Museum) Full job description: https://t.co/BnLyGiAUFX (Historian rather than DH post, but job requires Latin, Greek would also be desirable, and willingness to learn digital skills especially XML/text encoding.

The first conference "Paths into Digital Society / Wege in die Digitale Gesellschaft“ is the final conference of our research project that began in May 2014. The aim of our research project is to analyze in a comparative perspective the impact information technology had within different sectors of society, politics and economy in East and West Germany within the last 50 years. The conference will not only be a forum for the discussion of our results, but also a attempt to connect the broader scene of contemporary history with the insights history of computing provides. Please find more information on our Blog http://www.computerisierung.com/?p=751 http://www.computerisierung.com/?p=751 and at http://zzf-pdm.de/site/316/default.aspx#DIGITALISIERUNG It takes place from the 30.-31.03.2017 at the Centre for Contemporary History in Potsdam, Germany close to Berlin. Please note that the conference language will be German. The aim of the International Exploratory Workshop “Home Computer Subcultures and Society Before the Internet Age” is to bring together current research on computer subcultures at the dawn of home computing, to analyse their role in the computerisation of (post-)industrial societies, and to look at how these often marginalised user groups interacted with the state and the public. It will be held in Zürich, Switzerland at the Collegium Helveticum, Semper-Sternwarte, Schmelzbergstrasse 25, 8006 Zürich from the 24.03.2017 - 25.03.2017. It’s a joint conference organized by the Department of History, University of Zurich/Zentrum Geschichte des Wissens, the Centre for Contemporary Studies Potsdam and Zentrum für Zeithistorische Forschung Potsdam the Department of Media, Aalto University, Helsinki.

Many researchers in these fields are now explicitly recording the spatial and temporal attributes of their data and mapping them for visual analysis and argumentation. In many cases they are also performing spatial or spatial-temporal computations, including but not limited to viewshed, network, and cluster analyses, and agent-based and other models and simulations are increasingly common. The software used for this work is the same as that used for the environmental and social sciences: desktop GIS and specialized spatial and natural language processing libraries for the Python and R languages. These new spatial researchers are experiencing the same representational and analytic challenges in studying geographical dynamics that are well known to other disciplines, but they also face distinctive issues related to the nature of historical humanities data. Furthermore, epistemologies associated with new quantitative approaches must be reconciled with their traditional methodological practices. Spatial information theorists and geographic information scientists have not normally drawn from humanities research cases for their development of theoretical models or the specific software and systems built upon such models. It is our belief the time is ripe for fruitful dialog between these groups. To further and encourage such dialog, we invite papers that explicitly address one or more of these distinctive issues, particularly in the context of active or recent humanities research: - computing over sparse and uncertain data, e.g., the life courses of historical individuals - comparing and conflating conflicting assertions about the same phenomena from multiple sources - representing and analyzing place as experienced space - theorizing historical events and processes and their formal representation as spatial-temporal data, in simple, useful indexing and reasoning systems - building digital historical gazetteers, challenges for which include: - automated and machine-assisted discovery of place references in historical texts - place and place-name disambiguation - representing not only real‑world places but fictional or speculative ones - formalizing complex spatio-temporal relations (e.g., topological) in texts; modeling entities with evidence of multi-space, multi-time properties - integrated methods for performing textual analysis with spatial analysis - scaling of discovery methods for aggregate analyses on very large collections - place sentiment analysis - computational narrative analysis as it relates to space and place - cartographic representations of historical textual information SUBMISSIONS We are accepting short paper submissions (6-8 pages, including tables, figures, and references) on the topics of interest described above. We encourage paper submissions from researchers working on these issues from any disciplinary perspective. All articles must be prepared using either the Springer Word Document Template or the Springer Latex Document Template (contributed books): https://www.springer.com/gp/ authors-editors/book-authors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636. More general information for your camera-ready manuscript preparation can be found in the Manuscript Guidelines and Key Style Points and on the website of Springer. The workshop proceedings will be published in a combined volume with the other COSIT workshop proceedings. It will be published by Springer, in the series Lecture Notes in Geoinformation and Cartography ( http://www.springer.com/series/7418 ). Submissions should be made through the EasyChair website at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sphinx2017.

The semantic models have been created on the base of LSA, clustering, word embeddings, deep learning, neural networks, etc. and abstract logical forms, such as Minimal Recursion Semantics (MRS) or Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) etc. Additionally, the Linguistic Linked Open Data Cloud has been initiated (LLOD cloud) which interlinks linguistic data for improving the tasks of NLP. This cloud has been expanding enormously for the last four-five years. It includes corpora, lexicons, thesauri, knowledge bases of various kinds, organized around appropriate ontologies, such as LEMON. The semantic models behind the data organization as well as the representation of the semantic resources themselves are a challenge to the NLP community. The NLP applications that extensively rely on the above discussed models include Machine Translation, Information Extraction, Question Answering, Text Simplification, etc. The idea behind this Special Issue is to gather unpublished contributions on the creation, maintenance and usage of semantic models for specific NLP tasks. We are interested in both – supervised and unsupervised approaches as well as in models that are predefined in structured resources or extracted on-the-fly from unstructured data. Topics of Interest Include but are not Limited to: ================================================= - Combining syntagmatic (corpus-based) and paradigmatic (lexicon-based) relations into semantic models - Approaches to modeling semantically similarity and relatedness - Design and application of distributional semantics models - Graph-based semantic methods - Shallow and deep semantic architectures, based on neural networks - Integrating non-semantic linguistic knowledge into semantic models - The applicability of the various logical semantic representations for NLP tasks - Linking of linguistic resources through appropriate semantic models The Journal ============ - Presents original scientific papers to the subject areas among which: artificial intelligence, linguistic modelling, computer communication technologies, information technologies in education, etc. - Has an SJR rank and is indexed in Elsevier SCOPUS, Thomson Reuters Emerging Sources Citation Index and other 20 databases - Is an Open Access Journal Important dates ================ 1 June 2017 - Deadline for submitting papers 31 July 2017 - Notification of acceptance 15 September 2017 – Deadline for final version of the papers 15 December 2017 - Printing the Special Issue Submissions =========== Papers are invited with length of 10 to 15 pages together with the references. They should follow the authors’ instructions at the link: http://www.cit.iit.bas.bg/cit_inst_authors.html. The submissions have to be sent to the guest editors.

Inquiries welcome. He Said WHAAT??!! Editing Oral Texts for Print Publication The Association for Documentary Editing invites proposals for a session about editing oral texts for print. We encounter oral texts in interviews, committee meetings, speeches and lectures, legal proceedings, recorded performances, anthropological fieldwork, and the like. What constitutes appropriate representation of these utterances in print? Should pauses, ungrammatical phrasings, and other features be recorded punctiliously, whether spoken by a politician, an athlete, a preacher, a newscaster, or a story-teller? How much of an utterance should be included? Should standards vary according to the kind of publication (e. g. whether it is popular or scholarly)? Papers might consider the technical problems and/or the judgments required in such editorial situations. Please submit a 300-word abstract, short CV, and your contact information by 15 March to Carol DeBoer-Langworthy (CDBL@Brown.edu) or David Vander Meulen (dlv8g@eservices.virginia.edu). Inquiries may be made to either person. -- Carol DeBoer-Langworthy, Ph.D. Nonfiction Writing Program Editor, Lifewriting Annual Box 1852 Department of English Brown University Providence, RI 02912 USA CDBL@Brown.edu _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 3960A8C77; Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:37:16 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7DE828C73; Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:37:14 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2A1468341; Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:37:12 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170314093712.2A1468341@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 10:37:12 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.822 events: TEI 2018-19 call for hosts; Endangered Data Week 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: <20170314093715.13646.364@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 822.

Its chief deliverable is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the humanities, social sciences and linguistics. Since 1994, the TEI Guidelines have been widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to present texts for online research, teaching, and preservation. In addition to the Guidelines themselves, the Consortium provides a variety of resources and training events for learning TEI, information on projects using the TEI, software developed for or adapted to the TEI, and an annual conference and members’ meeting. In August of 2017, the TEI Consortium and community as a whole will receive the esteemed Antonio Zampolli Prize from the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations. The annual TEI Consortium Members' Meeting and Conference is held every September/October/November, and brings together members of and contributors to the TEI community to share research, showcase tools and techniques as well as provide a report of the state of the TEI-C as part of the Members’ Business Meeting. We are now seeking applications to host the conference and members’ meeting for 2018 and 2019. The meeting this year will take place on the 11th through the 15th of November 2017 at the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The most recent meetings have been held: 2016 in Vienna, Austria, hosted by the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities (ACDH) and the Austrian Academy of Sciences from 26th to 30th of September 2015 in Lyon, France, hosted by the Histoire, archéologie, littératures des mondes chrétiens et musulmans médiévaux (CIHAM) and Histoire et sources des mondes antiques (HISoMA) from 28th to 31st of October 2014 in Evanston, Illinois, USA, hosted by Northwestern University from 22nd to 24th of October 2013 in Rome, Italy, hosted by Sapienza Università di Roma and Associazione per l’Informatica Umanistica e la Cultura Digitale from 2nd to 5th of October The TEI-C attempts to ensure that the annual meeting is held in a variety of locations reflecting the distribution of TEI members and TEI-related activities with particular interest in institutions that have not previously hosted a TEI Conference and Members’ Meeting. As the TEI community continues to grow globally, the TEI-C is committed to inclusivity. We are also committed to supporting conference settings that are safe and welcoming to all. Local organizers at the host institution(s) are responsible for providing facilities for all conference-related activities, including pre- and post- events, developing the conference web site, producing a collection of abstracts, organizing a conference dinner, and coordinating appropriate social events. The TEI-C Members’ Meeting and Conference attracts approximately 150 participants and spans 2-4 days, depending on the proposals submitted and the workshops offered. The conference is entirely financed through conference registration fees, a $7,000 USD subvention from the TEI-C, and contributions that the Local Conference Organising Committee is able to obtain from sponsors. The host application requires thorough logistical, fiscal and other information from the prospective meeting host(s) to enable the TEI-C Board of Directors to fully review the applications with special emphasis on: the level of support and underwriting (financial and logistical) the institution can offer to ensure the success of the meeting. the venue itself and its suitability for a meeting of this size and type. the kinds of support the organizers can draw upon locally to ensure the logistical success of the meeting. Additional information about conference expectations and requirements, including detailed information about the application process can be found: http://members.tei-c.org/hosting http://members.tei-c.org/hosting . Prospective hosts are invited to discuss their plans informally with members of the TEI-C Board of Directors (http://www.tei-c.org/About/board.xml http://www.tei-c.org/About/board.xml ) before submitting an application. We are currently in the process of updating conference protocols, sample proposals, etc. Please contact the Chair of the TEI-C Board, Michelle Dalmau, mdalmau@indiana.edu, about details not covered in the “Hosting a TEI Conference and Members’ Meeting” documentation (http://members.tei-c.org/hosting http://members.tei-c.org/hosting ). Applications are due 26 May 2017, and will be reviewed by the members of the TEI-C Board who make the final decisions. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2017 15:56:48 +0000 From: Bethany Nowviskie Subject: Endangered Data Week, April 17-21 We invite your participation in Endangered Data Week, a distributed network of events running from April 17th-21st, 2017: http://endangereddataweek.org/ Endangered Data Week is a new, annual, grassroots effort to: • raise awareness of threats to publicly available data of all kinds, across sectors and disciplines; • provide opportunities to explore the power dynamics of data creation, sharing, privacy, and retention; • build community capacity by teaching ways to make #EndangeredData more accessible and secure.

The workshop is organized by the Academy of Athens within the framework of the DARIA-EU project “Humanities at Scale”. The topic of the training workshop “EpiDoc” will be digital editing of epigraphic and papyrological texts and will focus on the encoding of inscriptions, papyri and other ancient texts. EpiDoc (epidoc.sf.net) is a community of practice and guidance for using TEI XML for the encoding of inscriptions, papyri and other ancient texts. It has been used to publish digital projects including Inscriptions of Aphrodisias http://insaph.kcl.ac.uk/ and Tripolitania http://inslib.kcl.ac.uk/irt2009/, Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri http://papyri.info/ , Digital Corpus of Literary Papyri , and EAGLE Europeana Project http://www.eagle-network.eu/ . The workshop will introduce participants to the basics of XML markup and give hands-on experience of tagging textual features and object descriptions, identifying and linking to external person and place authorities, and project workflow and management. Instructors: Elli Mylonas and Simona Stoyanova. http://ics.sas.ac.uk/about-us/staff The four-day workshop will be divided into five sections: Section 1: Encoding epigraphic and other texts: Basic EpiDoc, usingOxygenXML, transforming text with XSL for proofreading and display. Section 2: Metadata: Encoding the history and description of the textual support. Section 3: Advanced Features (Apparatus criticus, verse, complex texts). Section 4: Text encoding projects: organization, roles, workflows. Section 5: Vocabularies and Analysis: indexing, names and places, controlled vocabularies. The workshop will include ample time for hands on practice, questions, discussion of individual projects, and the option to learn about topics that are of special interest to participants. The workshop will be conducted in English and the participation is free. The workshop will assume knowledge of epigraphy or papyrology; Greek, Latin or another ancient language; and the Leiden Conventions. No technical skills are required, and scholars of all levels, from students to professors, are welcome. The participants should bring their own laptops. It is also strongly recommended for the participants to have prepared in advance a mini corpus of texts concerning their field of scientific interest. Registration Please fill the application form until 10 April 2017 at the following address: https://goo.gl/forms/0Xaf8umatP8oJaCf1 Due to the limited seats there will be a selection among applicants. Applicants will be notified by email.

A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities (DayofDH) is a project looking at a day in the work life of people involved in digital humanities computing. Every year it draws people from across the world together to document, with text and image, the events and activities of their day. The goal of the project is to weave together the journals of participants into a resource that seeks to answer, “Just what do digital humanists really do?" This year, the event will be hosted on behalf of centerNet at the Laboratorio de Innovación en Humanidades Digitales de la UNED (LINHD http://linhd.es/en/) in Madrid and coorganized by HD CAYCIT, Argentina. For this reason, we want to innovate and make the day more collaborative. We will boost multilingual participation and group cooperative activities. We are working on the website now, which will be announced soon. If you have any suggestions or ideas in the meantime, please, let us know! We ask you to organize parallel activities to disseminate DH on that date and to use the digital platform to disseminate them. We also ask you to disseminate broadly the DayofDH website. If you consider that the support of your association could sponsor the DayofDH, we could place the logo of the association on the landing page footer. Thanks a lot for sending it to us if you are interested. Best regards and enjoy the Dayofdh2017! Elena González-Blanco Gimena del Rio And all the LINHD team http://linhd.uned.es Twitter: @dayofdh and #dayofDH Queridos amigos Por tercer año consecutivo el LINHD, con la colaboración de HD CAICYT, organiza el dayofdh2017. Como todos saben, el DayofDH es un proyecto que busca reflejar la un día en la vida y en el trabajo del humanista digital. Es un evento que cada año atrae personas de los diferentes puntos del planeta para documentar, mediante texto e imágenes, sus actividades. La finalidad del proyecto es unir las contribuciones de los participantes en un único recurso que busca contestar la pregunta de “¿Qué hacen exactamente los humanistas digitales?”. Es nuestra intención que la plataforma del DayofDH de cuenta de la participación de la mayor cantidad de interesados en las HD y que sea realmente un encuentro global. Por ello, además de animarlos a que organicen actividades presenciales para la difusión de las HD, que generen sus perfiles e intercambien opiniones con colegas de todo el mundo desde el sitio del DayofDH, y desde allí se sumen a las actividades virtuales que organizaremos, queremos invitarlos a que auspicien el evento. Por un lado, les pedimos que desde la asociación difundan el uso del sitio del DayofDH, que participen activamente de él o propongan alguna actividad, como posteo de noticias, etc. Todas las sugerencias son bienvenidas. En la landing page del sitio pondríamos cada uno de los logos de las asociaciones que apoyan y auspician el evento. ¡Esperamos contar con vuestra participación!

Indeed, the field itself is remarkable for its studious cultivation of its own history, with much of the canon written primarily by AI insiders and developers themselves (e.g. McCorduck 1979, 2004; Crevier 1992; Brooks 1999; Boden 2006; Nilsson 2010). Perhaps unsurprisingly, the story they tell is more often than not a triumphant march of progress towards the current pinnacle we are standing on today—with a few bumps along the road, thrown in for good measure. Now that AI is back and booming again today, offering promises and threats of massive social transformation, this progress narrative risks becoming a hegemon, legitimating the technological status quo and closing down opportunities for democratic deliberation about the direction of change. What possibilities exist for disrupting, destabilizing, and otherwise challenging the insider’s Whig history of AI? Who and what are AI’s discontents? How have they challenged, resisted, disrupted, or destabilized AI? Submissions are due before March 31st. Please feel free to contact me, Colin Garvey for more information.

May we have full references for these, please. In the full proposal you point us to [1], you present a list of questions as "Some possible directions for inquiry ..." These all seem rather loaded to me. Does this make for good historical inquiry, I wonder? The fourth one, for examples, asks What does "failure" mean in a discipline that has never enjoyed "success" until recent decades? (e.g. 1997 Deep Blue, Watson, AlphaGo) Historically, AI as a discipline got started, I think most historians would agree, with the Dartmouth Conference of 1956 [2]. Computer Chess was a topic discusses, but no working Chess program was presented. (Newell and Simon were the only participants to present a working program, of their Logic Theorist [3]). To go from not much computer chess in 1956 (see [4]), to a world champion beating Chess machine in 1997, little more than four decades, looks like remarkable progress to me, and to some chess players too, I think. To talk of no "success" until recent decades is to distort history, I would say. AI has only existed in recent decades. During the four decades from Dartmouth to the Deep Blue II success over Garry Kasparov, there were many relative, but real, successes, as computer chess programs got better. A perceived failure of AI to fulfill publically stated overly ambitious predictions does not mean no success. The real history of AI is a lot more complicated than your "possible directions of inquiry" seem intent upon making out. But, I'm not the historian here, so perhaps it's not for me to complain about how good history is to be done.

It ran on the then new Ferranti Mark I computer at Manchester University. It couldn't play a complete game of chess, however, due to memory and computational limitations of the Ferranti machine. > On 15 Mar 2017, at 07:33, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 823. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > [3] From: Colin K Garvey (7) > Subject: CfP: SHOT 2017 Open Panel on "AI & it's Discontents" > > --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Date: Tue, 14 Mar 2017 17:41:04 -0400 > From: Colin K Garvey > Subject: CfP: SHOT 2017 Open Panel on "AI & it's Discontents" > > > [forwarded from the Society for the History of Technology (SHOT)] > > Dear all, > > In preparation for SHOT 2017, we are soliciting papers for an open panel on: > > The History of Artificial Intelligence and its Discontents > > With origin myths involving many of the 20th century’s Great Men of Science and their intimate relationships with that most revolutionary and profound of transformations—the emergence of computing—the history of artificial intelligence (AI) has long been popular fare.

CLiC-it promotes and disseminates high-level, original research on all aspects of automatic language processing, both written and spoken, and targets state-of-the-art theoretical results, experimental methodologies, technologies, as well as application perspectives, which may contribute to the advancement of the CL and NLP fields. The spirit of the conference is inclusive. In the conviction that the complexity of language phenomena needs cross-disciplinary competences, CLiC- it intends to bring together researchers of related disciplines such as Computational Linguistics, Natural Language Processing, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Machine Learning, Computer Science, Knowledge Representation, Information Retrieval, and Digital Humanities. CLiC-it is open to contributions on all languages, with a particular emphasis on Italian. The fourth edition of CLiC-it will be held in Rome, on 11-13 December, 2017 . CLiC-it is organised by the Italian Association of Computational Linguistics (AILC -- www.ai-lc.it). Requirements ----------- The conference invites the submission of papers on all aspects of automated language processing. Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to, the following areas: Cognitive Modeling of Language Processing and Psycholinguistics Information Extraction, Information Retrieval and Question Answering Linguistic Issues in CL and in NLP Language Resources Machine Learning and Language Processing Machine Translation and Multilinguality Morphology and Syntax Processing NLP for Digital Humanities NLP for Web and Social Media Pragmatics and Creativity Semantics and Knowledge Acquisition Spoken Language Processing and Automatic Speech Understanding CLiC-it 2017 has the goal of a broad technical program. We invite papers in theoretical computational linguistics, empirical/data-driven approaches, resources and their evaluation, as well as NLP applications and tools. We also invite papers describing a challenge in the field, position papers, survey papers, and papers that describe a negative result. This year we are also favouring a parallel submission policy for outstanding papers that have been submitted and accepted elsewhere in 2017. If you are the author of a paper accepted at a major international CL conference or journal in2017, you can present your work at CLiC-it 2017 in the form of a short research communication, within a dedicated session at the conference. Research communications will not be published in the proceedings, but are mostly intended to enforce dissemination of excellence in research within the Italian CL community. Submission Format --------------- Papers may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, and two (2) additional pages of references. Papers can be either in English or Italian, with the abstract both in English and Italian. Accepted papers will be published on-line and will be presented at the conference either orally or as a poster. For research communications (see above) a two (2) page abstract is required. The deadline for all types of submissions is July 15, 2017. Submissions should follow the two-column format. We strongly recommend the use of LaTeX style files or Microsoft Word style files according to the ACL format, which will be soon available on the conference website under "Submissions". Submission must be electronic in PDF, using the Easychair submission software. Reviewing will NOT be blind, so there is no need to remove author information from manuscripts. Important Dates ------------- 15/07/2017: Paper submission deadline 23/09/2017: Notification to authors of reviewing outcome 15/10/2017: Camera ready version of accepted papers 11-13/12/2017: CLiC-it Conference, Rome People ------ Program co-chairs: Roberto Basili (University of Roma, Tor Vergata) Malvina Nissim (University of Groningen) Giorgio Satta (University of Padova) Local Organizing Committee: Danilo Croce (University of Roma, Tor Vergata, local chair) Giuseppe Castellucci (Almawave) Andrea Vanzo (Sapienza University of Rome) Further information ---------------- Conference website: http://sag.art.uniroma2.it/clic2017 Mail: clicit2017@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CLiC-it-2017-264331520656661/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/CLiC_it2017 #CLiCit2017 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 17:40:51 +0100 From: christian.chiarcos@web.de Subject: 2nd Summer Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD-LLOD'17) 2nd Call for the 2nd Summer Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD- LLOD’17) ==================================================================== The 2nd Summer Datathon on Linguistic Linked Open Data (SD-LLOD-17) will be held from June 26th to 30th 2017 at Residencia Lucas Olazábal of Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Cercedilla, Madrid. See http:// datathon2017.retele.linkeddata.es The SD-LLOD datathon has the main goal of giving people from industry and academia practical knowledge in the field of Linked Data applied to Linguistics. The final aim is to allow participants to migrate their own (or other’s) linguistic data and publish them as Linked Data on the Web. This datathon series is unique in its topic worldwide and continues from the success of the event two years ago (see http://datathon.lider-project.eu/). During the datathon, participants will: * Generate and publish their own linguistic linked data from some existing data source. * Apply Linked Data principles and Semantic Web technologies (Ontologies, RDF, Linked Data) into the field of language resources. * Use the principal models used for representing linguistic linked data, in particular OntoLex-Lemon and NIF. * Perform Multilingual Word Sense Disambiguation and Entity Linking for the Web of Data. * Learn about potential benefits and applications of linguistic linked data for specific use cases. The program of the summer datathon will contain three types of sessions: 1. Seminars to show novel aspects and discuss selected topics. 2. Practical sessions to introduce the basic foundations of each topic, methods, and technologies and where participants will perform different tasks using the methods and technologies presented. 3. Hacking sessions, where participants will follow the whole process of generating and publishing Linguistic Linked Data with some existing data set. Participants will be invited to propose a “miniproject” related to the topic and to bring to the datathon some dataset of linguistic data produced by their organizations in order to work on it during the hacking sessions and transform it into linked data. Participants who cannot provide their own linguistic dataset can join another’s miniproject or some of the ones proposed by the organisers. There will be an award to the best miniproject. Invited Speakers ================== Ilan Kernerman (K Dictionaries) Laurette Pretorius (University of South Africa) Elena González-Blanco (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia) Angus Roberts (University of Sheffield) Penny Labropoulou (ILSP, RC Athena) Registration ============ Participants will be invited to submit a short abstract of their ideas for the datathon (description of possible resources to be converted, linked or reused during the datathon, ideas for use cases, etc.). A selection of them will be presented in a poster session during the event and might be proposed as miniprojects to be developed during the datathon. Registration will be closed on 4th April (deadline extended). Important dates ============= Registration opens: 01/02/2017 Registration closes: 04/04/2017 Notification: 12/04/2017 Payment until 30/04/2017 Datathon: 26/06/2017 to 30/06/2017 Organizers ========== Jorge Gracia (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid) John P.

Please let me know if you have any questions. BC --- The ACH has posted its call for proposals (http://ach.org/2017/02/28/ cfp-for-mla-2018-printable-pedagogy-and-3d-theses/) for our guaranteed session at the 2018 MLA convention, which takes place from 4-7 January in New York City: Over the last decade, at roughly the same time that digital humanities methods and tools have appeared in language and literature classrooms and research, universities have made investments in 3D printing and makerspaces. And in a similar way to digital humanities, those working in modern languages might not immediately see how they could use fabrication technologies in their teaching and research. For its session at the 2018 MLA Convention (4-7 January in New York City), ACH invites proposals that highlight how 3D printing, soft circuits, or other methods of physical fabrication are used to teach languages or literature *or* to conduct linguistic or literary research. Speakers will give brief talks (4-6 minutes, depending on number of participants) that address the praxis of printing and the metaphysics of physicalization. While a discussion of *what you made* and *how you made it* will naturally feature in these talks, it is more important to discuss how the act of making contributed to the understanding of languages and/or literatures. In this way, this session is cousin to the ACH’s 2014 session at the MLA http://ach.org/2013/03/12/beyond-digital-cfp-mla-2014/ . Please send abstracts of 250 words (not including references) to brian [dot] croxall [at] brown [dot] edu. Abstracts should be received by *5pm EDT / GMT-5 on 25 March 2017*. N.B. All accepted panelists will need to be current MLA members—or have their membership waived—*by 7 April 2017*. Since the ACH is an allied organization of the MLA, this session is *guaranteed to be accepted* for the 2018 MLA. Please consider submitting a proposal!

Mellon Foundation invite proposals for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives. Working together, the Cooperatives will develop technical and human infrastructures to support the digital publication of documentary and scholarly editions and to provide for their long-term preservation, discovery, and use. This initiative responds to the urgent need of scholars and documentary editors for reliable, sustainable, authoritative, and field-driven outlets for publication and discovery of digital editions. At the same time, we hope to investigate the possibility of creating a federated system or systems for publishing and sustaining digital editions. Developing the Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives will be a two-stage process for Planning and Implementation. Up to eight planning grants will provide funds to support the first stage of this multi-year endeavor, beginning no later than February 1, 2018. Each project team will consist of a principal investigator to spearhead the initiative, a lead representative from each of at least three participating editions and the host institution(s). During the Planning stage, each team will develop a proposal for implementing a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative. Planning grants are for one year and up to $100,000. All planning teams would be eligible to apply for Implementation funding. Three implementation grants of between $350,000 and $500,000, each for up to three years, are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $1.25 million. Implementation grants will be awarded in September 2019, with a start date of no later than October 1, 2019. A full description of the program, its outcomes, and a glossary of special terminology, are available at: www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops.

This datathon is part of a broader "Web Archiving Week," to be held in London between June 11th and 16th. You can see more details about that here: http://netpreserve.org/general-assembly/2017/overview. Any questions, please do let us know! Ian Call for Participation: Archives Unleashed 4.0 Web Archive Datathon http://archivesunleashed.com The British Library June 11 – 13, 2017 Travel grants will be available for US-based graduate students. Applications for all attendees are due 31 March 2017. Call for Participation This event is the fourth workshop in the Archives Unleashed series. Each event is a standalone datathon aimed at building the Web Archiving community and providing a forum for interdisciplinary collaboration. The World Wide Web has a profound impact on how we research and understand the past. The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. Scholars broaching topics dating back to the mid-1990s will find their projects enhanced by web data. Moreover, scholars hoping to study the evolution of cultural and societal phenomena will find a treasure trove of data in web archives. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. While there has been considerable discussion about web archive tools and datasets, few forums or mechanisms for coordinated, mutually informing development efforts have been created. Our series of datathons presents an opportunity to collaboratively unleash our web collections, exploring cutting-edge research tools while fostering a broad-based consensus on future directions in web archive analysis. This event will bring together a small group of 35 – 45 participants to collaboratively develop new open-source tools and approaches to web archives, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Researchers should be comfortable with command line interactions, and knowledge of a scripting language (such as but not limited to Python) is strongly desired. By bringing together a group of like-minded scholars and programmers, we hope to begin building unified analytic production effort and to continue coalescing this nascent research community. At this event, we hope to continue to converge on a shared vision of future directions in the use of web archives for inquiry in the humanities and social sciences in order to build a community of practice around various web archive analytics platforms and tools. The event is sponsored by the British Library (lead sponsor), Rutgers University, University of Waterloo, the National Science Foundation and the International Internet Preservation Consortium. In addition, there will be a reception the first night and a dinner the second night, supported by funding from the NetLab at Aarhus University, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and Rutgers University. We are also providing sample datasets for people to work on during the datathon, or they are happy to use their own. Included datasets are: • The .gov web archive covering the American government domain • The End of Term Web Archives (.gov/.mil), from 2008, 2012, and 2016 • Social media collections from the 2016 archive • Canadian Political Parties and Political Interest Groups collection and other datasets to be announced Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a CV to Ian Milligan (i2millig@uwaterloo.ca) by 7 April 2017 with “Archives Unleashed” in the subject line. This expression of interest should address the scholarly questions that you will be bringing to the datathon, and what datasets you might be interested in either working with or bringing to the event. Applicants will be notified by 15 April 2017. We expect to be able to issue a limited number of travel grants available for US-based doctoral students; preference will be given to those who have not participated in the Archives Unleashed program in the past, although we welcome returning participants. These grants can cover up to $1,000 USD in expenses. If you are in an eligible position, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant. On behalf of the organizers, Matthew Weber (Rutgers University), Ian Milligan (University of Waterloo), Jimmy Lin (University of Waterloo), and Olga Holownia (British Library/IIPC). --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2017 18:14:07 +0000 From: Fintan Nagle Subject: Corrected Call for Papers (updated submission date to 1 Sep): RoPP special issue on Computationalism and Philosophy of Information The submission date on our previous call should read 1 September 2017 (not 1 July). Please accept our apologies for any confusion. CALL FOR PAPERS Review of Philosophy and Psychology invites submissions for a special issue titled ‘Computationalism Meets the Philosophy of Information’. The view that the human mind is a kind of computational machine began to make waves with the advent of the first computers in the middle of the last century. McCulloch and Pitts suggested early on that the mind may be something like a Turing machine. This view came to be known as ‘classical computationalism’. It was quickly met with an onslaught of objections, and in reaction a number of liberalisations ensued. One view that has recently been gaining ground attempts to articulate the notion of computation in terms of information and information-processing. Interest in these two areas, i.e. computationalism and the philosophy of information, is on the ascendancy. This special issue is devoted to the intersection between them, especially to papers that engage in a meaningful way with recent work in cognitive science. Accepted papers will complement invited contributions from: - Rosa Cao (NYU) - Nir Fresco (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) - Michael Rescorla (UCLA) - Mark Sprevak (Edinburgh) Suitable papers may address such questions as: - What species of information are there, and which, if any, are processed by the mind? - Is there any evidence from neuroscience to support e.g. the claim that the brain operates with Shannon-information? - What is computation and how is it related to information processing? - Do certain theories of information privilege classical vs connectionist computationalism? - Can computation and/or information illuminate representational content? - Do measures of information flow capture learning? - How are human and deep learning analogous? - Can Bayesian models provide an adequate account of our cognitive capacities? Answers to these and related questions promise to extend our understanding of computation, information, the human mind, and its neural underpinning. Submissions and refereeing Submissions, no more than 8,000 words in length, are to be made through the online editorial manager https://www.editorialmanager.com/ropp/default.aspx, by September 1, 2017. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by no less than two referees. Guest Editors Brian Ball (Philosophy, NCH and Oxford), Fintan Nagle (Psychology, NCH and UCL), and Ioannis Votsis (Philosophy, NCH and LSE). Enquiries can be made to the Guest Editors at firstname.lastname@nchlondon.ac.uk.

I'd appreciate any bibliographic help people can supply. I'm particularly interested in the histories of the early scholarly communication lists--Ansax-l, Medtext-l, Humanist-l (are there others? Are there non-Anglo-American ones from the same period? I can find a fair bit on Ansaxnet (see below); less on Humanist or Medtext. Or perhaps I should say, the google results on Medtext and, especially, Humanist, are very noisy compared to Ansaxnet. In the case of Ansaxnet, a lot of the things I'm finding are buried in non-OCRd PDFs (e.g. some of the OEN things). I know about them because I knew to search for Pat and a lot are cited in other things. I'm guessing the same bibliographic situation might pertain to early material on other lists. I apologise if I've overlooked something stunningly obvious.

There have been hundreds of bug fixes and enhancements, here are a few highlights since the last announcement sent to Humanist (Voyant 2.0 last April 2016): * localization of the interface in several languages including Arabic, Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, English, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, and Serbian, see https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/languages-section-interface-languages * improved text handling of Tibetan * several new and re-implemented tools including: * Bubbles a reimplemented adaptation of from Martin Ignacio Bereciartua's tool https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/bubbles * TextualArc, a new tool inspired by the classic TextArc: https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/textualarc * Veliza, a fun new chatbot tool: https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/veliza * improved Correspondence Analysis, see for instance with Humanist https://voyant-tools.org/?corpus=humanist&view=scatterplot Voyant Tools is available from the hosted version (voyant-tools.org) or as a stand-alone application that you can run locally (it can be as easy as unzipping the download and launching the application): https://github.com/sgsinclair/VoyantServer#installation. For use in teaching we strongly encourage the use of the standalone version (in case the hosted version fails). Please note that Java 8 is required. As always, we're grateful for any contributions including: * bug reports and feature requests https://github.com/sgsinclair/Voyant/issues * offers to localize the interface in other languages * offers to host an official mirror of Voyant https://voyant-tools.org/docs/#!/guide/mirrors Voyant Tools is part of the Hermeneuti.ca http://hermeneuti.ca/ project with the accompany book: Hermeneutica: Computer-Assisted Interpretation in the Humanities (MIT 2016). Announcements like this tend to create even more traffic on the (somewhat overstressed) server, which sometimes means temporary downtime (usually restored within about a minute). If at first a page doesn't load, please be patient and try again a few moments later!

For the moment let's suspend the question raised by the easy assumption of a computational model of mind. What I find particularly illuminating about this passage (perhaps made possible in part by that very model of mind) is the membership of his list of alien minds, specifically the presence of artificial intelligence shoulder-to-shoulder, as it were, with non-human animal cognition (for which see, as soon as you can manage, Frans de Waal's Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?), that of human children and the neurologically impaired, among which he focuses his study on the autistic. I was in fact led to Baron-Cohen's book by Peter Wegner's repeated charge that Turing Machines are autistic. But what makes this list of his interesting to me is, more specifically, that we don't get either the statement that digital machines are 'intelligent', or about to be, or its panicked opposite, that these machines can never be 'intelligent', but their role with respect to human cognition, as strangers from which (whom?) we can learn more about our own cognition.

I'd appreciate any bibliographic help people can supply. I'm particularly interested in the histories of the early scholarly communication lists--Ansax-l, Medtext-l, Humanist-l (are there others? Are there non-Anglo-American ones from the same period? I can find a fair bit on Ansaxnet (see below); less on Humanist or Medtext. Or perhaps I should say, the google results on Medtext and, especially, Humanist, are very noisy compared to Ansaxnet. In the case of Ansaxnet, a lot of the things I'm finding are buried in non-OCRd PDFs (e.g. some of the OEN things). I know about them because I knew to search for Pat and a lot are cited in other things. I'm guessing the same bibliographic situation might pertain to early material on other lists. I apologise if I've overlooked something stunningly obvious. Baker, Peter S. 1997. "Old English and Computing: A Guided Tour."

The University of Lausanne and infoclio.ch are pleased to announce that a Digital History Summer School will take place at the University of Lausanne, from the 20th to the 23rd of June 2017. **Registration is now open** Please visit our website at http://www.dhsummerschool.ch/?page_id=762 Why Organize a Digital History Summer School? Today, historians are increasingly confronted with questions about the use of primary sources. How does one deal with historical primary sources in the Digital Age? What peculiarities present sources, which have been digitized, or which originated in digital form–so-called “born-digital” sources? How do we read them? How do we interpret them? How can they be used in order to construct a historical narrative? This four-day Summer School offers historians (PhD-candidates, graduates students, established historians) the opportunity to acquire the basic principles of data usage in the historical sciences, and benefit from insights gained in other humanities and social sciences disciplines. The first three days of the Summer School will alternate lectures and workshops. Courses will be held in plenary sessions, whereas workshops take place in smaller groups. Lectures will tackle crucial epistemological or theoretical problems, while workshops allow participants to learn technical skills by working hands-on with historical data on their own personal computer. On its last day, the Summer School will host a so-called "datasprint"–a hackathon based on data. What is a hackathon, you ask? A hackathon is originally a gathering of developers organized by team around project bearers with the objective of producing a prototype application in a few hours. In our case, the datasprint will be an opportunity to put into practice the technical skills learned during the Summer School. Teams will choose a research topic, and then collaboratively collect data about it. They will then continue by interpreting the gathered data, and finally attempt to develop a historical narrative based on said data. For more information For more information about our speakers and the Summer School’s provisional program, please visit our website http://dhsummerschool.ch/ or send a mail to Frederic.clavert@unil.ch.

(spw4s)" Subject: April 7 conference: DS+DH: The machine as Horizon of Interpretation [Forwarded from the IATH list, Univ of Virginia] Rafael Alvarado (Media Studies/SHANTI) and Paul Humphreys (Philosophy) have organized a day-long trans-disciplinary conference on data science and digital humanities (http://shanti.virginia.edu/wordpress/?p=4922). The keynote address, "Novel Analytics from James Joyce to The Bestseller Code," will be given by Matthew Jockers, the Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor of English at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Director of the Nebraska Literary Lab, and former Director of the Stanford Literary Lab. There will a morning panel discussion with Don Brown (Director, Data Science Institute), Alison Booth (Director, Scholars Lab), Abby Flower (Systems and Information Engineering), Bill Pearson (Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics), and Matt Jockers. Lunch will be provided and then followed by a more open discussion involving members of the UVa’s Presidential Fellows program, which pairs humanists and data scientists to pursue a single humanistic research topic. WHEN: Friday, April 7, 2017, 9am - 4pm WHERE: Nau 101 (9am-noon) Alderman 317 (2-4pm) OVERVIEW During a remarkably short period of time, data science has produced significant changes within the sciences, from genomics to astronomy, introducing new computational methods and forms of knowledge that are transforming the foundations of scientific research. In the humanities, digital humanists using computational and data intensive methods have also challenged the foundations of historical and literary research by undermining the authority of reading, interpretation, and established canons of texts. Although data science and the digital humanities emerged independently, both share a series of foundational traits -- a belief in the effectiveness of machine learning , an embracing of new scales of research, an affinity for a series of methods extending from genetic algorithms to network theory, and, within the humanities, a belief in the suitability of these methods for the study of culture itself, particularly culture in the form of text and language. Discussions about the relationship between data science and the humanities have generally been in one direction, focusing on how the humanities can benefit from data-driven methods that have proven successful in other domains. But what do the humanities – broadly conceived to include history, literature, philosophy, and the arts – have to contribute to these discussions? Can humanists provide unique insights into issues arising from data science beyond obvious ethical concerns? What can humanists, with long traditions and multiple perspectives on the concepts of culture, knowledge, and interpretation, and an engagement with computational methods dating back to the 1940s, contribute to the discussion of the epistemological transformation that is now happening so rapidly, broadly, and deeply? In this one day conference, we will explore the rich theoretical and methodological affinities, as well as productive differences, that exist between the digital humanities and data science, with a focus on how the humanities can inform data science and the computational sciences. Topics to be discussed include: * The concept of culture that is being developed and operationalized by “social computing” on data sets such as Twitter and other social media data* The status of knowledge claims made about culture and society made by these approaches * The sympathic and antagonistic connections between the hermeneutic and formal approaches to knowledge * Similarities and differences between the concept of texts as unstructured data versus discourse (“parole”) * Approaches to narrative being developed by digital humanists and data scientist SCHEDULE: Morning sessions are in Nau 101 9:00 Welcoming Remarks 9:10 Keynote Address: "Novel Analytics from James Joyce to The Bestseller Code," 10:30 Coffee Break 10:50 Panel Discussion 12:00 Break for Lunch Afternoon sessions are in Alderman 317 2:00pm DH+DS: The Machine as Horizon of Interpretation / Afternoon Session 2:00 to 3:30: Open Discussion with UVA President’s Fellows and others 3:30: Concluding Remarks For further information, please contact Raf Alvarado (rca2t@virginia.edu) or Paul Humphreys (pwh2a@virginia.edu).

We have added this new initiative to encourage and reward high-caliber research in the history of communication technologies, broadly defined. One of the Mercurians' missions is to encourage scholarship in the history of communication technologies. There is no research grant program (either within or outside SHOT) that we are aware of dedicated to supporting scholarship on the history of communication technologies. While the history of communication technology literature is vast and always growing, the quality of the research effort or resulting publication too often falls short of scholarly expectations. In general, the research grant is awarded in alternating years. We awarded two such grants during the 2011 SHOT annual meeting in Cleveland. The winners were Carmen Krol, a PhD candidate in the Department of Science & Technology Studies at Cornell University, and Michael Lemon, a PhD student in Latin American History at Indiana University (Bloomington). The Mercurians announced during the 2013 SHOT meeting in Portland, Maine, that Ian Johnson, a PhD student in the History Department at Ohio State University, had won. Subsequently, we announced that James Risk, a PhD student in the University of South Carolina History Department, won the 2015 Pam Laird Research Grant. We are looking forward to awarding this important research grant again in 2017 and announcing the winner during the SHOT meeting in Philadelphia. Eligibility. The grant is intended for and limited to junior scholars-meaning either current graduate students or recent postgraduates (no more than three years beyond the terminal degree in their field). Requirements and Application. Only travel to an appropriate archival collection to carry out research on an aspect of the history of communication technology, broadly defined, will be supported. The archive can be open to the public, private, or even closed, provided that necessary permissions have been obtained from the archive. Complete the application form (available at: http://www.mercurians.org/grant-form.doc) and e-mail it and a curriculum vitae (no longer than 3 pages) as attachments to the Mercurians c/o abutrica@earthlink.net Your curriculum vitae should include pertinent publications, fellowships, or accomplishments relevant to your proposed research, and professional societies and affiliations. The deadline for submitting an application for the grant is May 1, 2017.

War, a traditional arena of violent hypermasculinity, is an essential site for asking critical questions about masculinist systems, objectifying economies, and mediated representations. Simply increasing the presence of female "warrior" characters in war games continues to normalize the mechanism of war while extending its "inclusiveness" to groups that have traditionally been marginalized and victimized by it. Alternatively, interventional games motivated by feminist values have the potential to deform, critique and re-humanize the dehumanizing and objectifying functions of traditional military systems, ideologies, and narratives. In doing so, different opportunities arise to pluralize perspectives, confront complexity, and provoke alternative models of perception, representation, and engagement. These are the questions that form the basis of Feminist War Games?: Mechanisms of War, Feminist Values, and Interventional Games. The idea for this volume is born out of the provocative keynote panel given by Jon Saklofske, Anastasia Salter, Liz Losh, and Diane Jakacki at the joint conference of the Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) and Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) that took place during the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) at the University of Victoria, in Victoria, B.C. in June 2016. Extending these initial provocations, the editors of this volume invite contributions that consider how mechanisms of war, game narratives, and inclusive feminist values might denaturalize and reframe narratives of war in spaces of programmed play. Essays should be between 3000-5000 words in length. The volume is intended for The University of Illinois Press' Topics in the Digital Humanities series. Timeline: Call for Abstracts: March 24-May 15, 2017 Prepare Proposal: May 15-June 15, 2017 Proposal Sent to Publisher: June 16, 2017 Deadline for Essays: August 21, 2017 Edit Essays: August 22-September 25, 2017 Final Essay Drafts Due: October 27, 2017 Book to Publisher: November 6, 2017 Structure of the Book: Feminist War Games?: Mechanisms of War, Feminist Values, and Interventional Games Is structured into three sections: 1.

The position is permanent (at least, as permanent as anything in this world), but not tenure-track; so as not to mislead, I should clarify that there are not inherent allowances for one's own research or teaching -- but it's certainly a professional (and not micro-managed) position, and there are opportunities galore for both research collaborations and (mostly less-formal) teaching. Please consider joining us, or sending us your best digital historians!

It is fully open access and open source (Muruca overall framework, backend on LAMP stack and Symfony framework, CMS WordPress, search engine SOLR, Garage conversion software, frontend by AngularJS). The library, which counted more than 300.000 contacts, has been enriched with hundreds of new texts and documents for about 11 milllions more chars, all encoded in XML-TEI, including some editiones principes or first transcriptions of unpublished works (such as the early medieval grammarian Ursus Beneventanus, some XII century artes dictandi, soon the XIII century letters by Bonfilius Aretinus) and new editions in progress (Edictum Rothari). Materials are downloadable in different format (pdf, txt, xml, html). A set of tools for textual analysis has been implemented by the free software Lexicon, working directly on the ALIM documents as well as indipendently (www.lexicon.unisi.it), a Lemmatizer extended to a medieval Latin wordset, and the browsing software for TEI-based digital editions EVT. The Home-page offers some samples of thematic collections such as medical texts, documents about the history of Arezzo, works on natural sciences, laws, itineraria and others, to be enriched according to the progress of the encoding and the researches connected to the projects. The platform is in process of being constantly improved and the team will be grateful for any suggestions by the interested scholars. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, LOTS_OF_MONEY,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5B1C18D03; Sat, 25 Mar 2017 08:01:31 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3E82A8CFE; Sat, 25 Mar 2017 08:01:30 +0100 (CET) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 444DF8CDB; Sat, 25 Mar 2017 08:01:27 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170325070127.444DF8CDB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2017 08:01:27 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 30.847 PhD studentship on bank archives; digital editions cooperative grants 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: <20170325070130.26128.67605@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 847.

Mellon Foundation today announced a partnership for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives planning grants. The purpose of the new grants initiative is to plan for, and build, a sustainable system for the publication and discovery of digital editions that make historical records readily accessible to scholars, students, and the American people. After two decades of experimentation, individual scholarly editions continue to find it difficult to build and maintain their own digital infrastructure for creating and disseminating their work, and most producers of digital scholarly editions lack access to predictable, affordable, and sustainable publication channels. Up to $2 million in funding will be provided from the Mellon Foundation, with the National Historical Publications and Records Commission assisting in managing the process, including the selection of grant recipients. David S. Ferriero, Archivist of the United States, welcomed the partnership. “We are delighted to join with the Mellon Foundation in addressing a critical need to create long-term sustainable digital editions of historical records. These Cooperatives will allow projects to share resources and best practices and to address the pressing questions of scholarly publishing and online access. It promises to be groundbreaking.” Donald Waters, Senior Program Officer for Scholarly Communications at the Mellon Foundation concurred. “The Digital Revolution has produced a torrent of new sources of evidence in digital formats that are critical to an understanding of the human condition. Scholars have been experimenting since the early 1990s with digital methods of organizing these sources into critical editions that could fuel future research and teaching. This initiative seeks to identify the best of these experiments and turn them into durable forms of digital publication.” Developing the Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives will be a two-stage process for Planning and Implementation. Up to eight planning grants will be awarded in December 2017 for the first stage of this multi-year endeavor. Each project team will consist of a principal investigator and a lead representative from each of at least three participating editions and the host institution(s). During the Planning stage, each team will develop a proposal for implementing a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative. Planning grants are for one year and up to $100,000. All planning teams would be eligible to apply for Implementation funding. Three implementation grants of between $350,000 and $500,000, each for up to three years, are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $1.25 million. Implementation grants will be awarded in September 2019. *The first deadline for project teams is July 6, 2017. * *More details and full applications for the Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives are available online .* *There will be a webinar about the initiative on March 30, 2017 * *3:00 p.m. EST**. *To join the webinar, go to: https://connect16.uc.att. com/gsa1/meet/?ExEventID=89909710 and enter your name and email address.

For the programme please see: http://www.greekcoinage.org/opal-conference.html. The conference is part of the Oxford-Paris Alexander project (OPAL), a joint initiative between the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford funded by the Labex les Passés dans le Présent and the AHRC. OPAL, directed by Dr Frédérique Duyrat and Professor Andrew Meadows, explores the possibilities offered by Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web to preserve and make available the physical heritage of the coinage issued in the name of Alexander the Great, a unique and transformative phenomenon across an area from the modern Balkans to Afghanistan. Coins issued by Alexander and in his name after his death exist today in their millions, scattered in collections across the world. But they are also the victim, as small pieces of precious metal, of destruction and looting in their source countries. The OPAL project will make available online a corpus of 3,500 coins of Alexander in the collection of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford (http://hcr.ashmus.ox.ac.uk) and the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris (http://galica.bnf.fr) and will contribute the data to the PELLA project of the American Numismatic Society (http://numismatics.org/pella). The conference will investigate the homogenizing effect of the coinage of Alexander the Great on the economic history of the Mediterranean, the Near East, and Central Asia as well as advertising and exploring the value of amalgamated collections. The conference will look at the new tools created by Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web as well as their technical composition. It will present new research on the coinage of Alexander, much of which made possible by new opportunities afforded by the PELLA tool. And it will conclude by focussing particularly on the legacy of Alexander the Great, from shortly after his death to the present day, and discussing the importance of preserving such transnational heritage and the role in this that projects like OPAL and PELLA can play.

This year’s theme will be: ‘movement and limits in the theory and practice of ancient drama.’ Abstracts of papers should be sent by 31 March 2017 to postgradsymp@classics.ox.ac.uk (please include details of your current course of study, supervisor and academic institution). ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM This annual Symposium focuses on the reception of Greek and Roman tragedy and comedy, exploring the afterlife of these ancient dramatic texts through re-workings by both writers and practitioners across all genres and periods. This year’s theme is a timely response to the current surge of scholarly interest in mass geopolitical movement and national boundaries, in corporeality and formal conventions. Speakers from a number of countries will give papers on the reception of Greek and Roman drama. This year’s guest respondent will be Dr Helen Slaney (Roehampton University). Among those present at this year’s symposium will be Prof. Fiona Macintosh and Prof. Oliver Taplin. The first day of the symposium will include a dance performance by Marie-Louise Crawley (APGRD Artist in Residence January - June 2017) at the Ashmolean Museum. PARTICIPANTS Postgraduates from around the world working on the reception of Greek and Roman drama are welcome to participate, as are those who have completed a doctorate but not yet taken up a post. The symposium is open to speakers from different disciplines, including researchers in the fields of Classics, modern languages and literature, and theatre and performance studies. Practitioners are welcome to contribute their personal experience of working on ancient drama. Papers may also include demonstrations. Undergraduates are very welcome to attend. Those who wish to offer a short paper (20 mins) or performance presentation on ‘movement and limits in the theory and practice of ancient drama’ are invited to send an abstract of up to 200 words outlining the proposed subject of their discussion to postgradsymp@classics.ox.ac.uk by FRIDAY 31 MARCH 2017 AT THE LATEST (please include details of your current course of study, supervisor and academic institution).

Established ways of working and traditional disciplinary divisions have needed to be rethought to support new digital methods and to enable the shift from individual to collective and collaborative authorship and toward multimodal and multimedia textuality. In the humanities, such developments have helped to alter the dominant research culture over a relatively short period. New communities of researchers and practitioners are emerging, made up not only of experts in these disciplines but also computer scientists, communication professionals, business experts and policymakers, a mix that was uncommon even a decade ago. With increased collaboration, novel research topics are being formulated, and a new language, used by a new generation of scholars, is evolving. The increasing capacity for interoperability and aggregation is supporting this trend, as is the ever-expanding toolkit of digital devices, programs, and applications that make it easy for people to converse and share ideas and information regardless of physical location. Yet, there are also challenges to address. The same technologies that are supporting collaborative data-driven research practices are being deeply integrated into everyday communications, leading to serious concerns over privacy and digital identity. This talk reflects on these broad shifts in research and in society, in different settings - local, national and international - with a focus on the Australasian context. About the speaker: Professor Paul Arthur is Chair in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences at Edith Cowan University. He was Australia’s first professor in digital humanities (Western Sydney University 2013–16), the founding president of the Australasian Association for Digital Humanities (2011–15), and is currently co-chair of centerNet (the worldwide network of digital humanities research centres). Recent publications include Advancing Digital Humanities: Research, Methods, Theories (2014, ed. with Katherine Bode).

My colleague Istvan Berkeley has asked me to forward this CFP to Humanist in light of the ongoing DH interest in the history of computing and how such work might shed light on the special issue topic. --Clai Rice Call for Papers for *Minds & Machines* special issue on "What is a computer?" GUEST EDITOR István S. N. Berkeley, Ph.D. Philosophy, The University of Louisiana at Lafayette INTRODUCTION Computers have become almost ubiquitous. We find them at our places of work, and even on our persons, in the form of 'smart phones' and tablets. Around twenty years ago, The Monist published the contributions from several philosophers on the question, “What is a computer?”. Yet a robust, philosophically adequate conception of what actually constitutes a computer still remains lacking. The purpose of this special issue is to address this question and explore closely related topics. This is an important task, as a robust and nuanced idea (or ideas) of what a computer is will help inform the development of laws and regulations concerning computational technology. It will also shed light upon questions about whether certain biological artifacts, like the human brain, should be considered computational. A philosophically sophisticated analysis of the issues will also help with the evaluation of future technological developments and assessing their potential risks and benefits. Thus, papers on a broad range of relevant topics are welcome. TOPICS The main topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: What are the necessary and sufficient conditions that a system must satisfy to count as a computer? What architectural features are required for something to count as a genuine computer? Are there any features that would rule an artifact out as being a computer? Can computers be usefully considered as a natural kind? Can, or should, computing devices be usefully arranged into a taxonomy? Do we need to have multiple conceptions of what constitutes computing? What tools can usefully be deployed to define 'computing’? Do so called "hypercomputers" count as computers? What effect has massive connectivity had upon our ideas about computers? Is the human brain a computer? What important effects have computers had upon the discipline of philosophy? How far down the photogenic scale of organisms can reliable evidence be found of genuine computing taking place? TIMETABLE Deadline for paper submissions: 30 September 2017 Deadline for paper reviewing: 30 October 2017 Deadline for submission of revised papers: 15 November 2017 Deadline for reviewing revised papers: 2 November 2017 Papers will be published in 2018 SUBMISSION DETAILS To submit a paper for this special issue, authors should go to the journal’s Editorial Manager https://www.editorialmanager.com/mind/default.aspx The author (or a corresponding author for each submission in case of co- authored papers) must register into EM. The author must then select the special article type: " What is a computer?” from the selection provided in the submission process. This is needed in order to assign the submissions to the Guest Editor. Submissions will then be assessed according to the following procedure: New Submission => Journal Editorial Office => Guest Editor(s) => Reviewers => Reviewers’ Recommendations => Guest Editor(s)’ Recommendation => Editor-in-Chief’s Final Decision => Author Notification of the Decision. The process will be reiterated in case of requests for revisions. For any further information please contact: GUEST EDITOR’S CONTACTS DETAILS István S. N.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2017 08:29:48 +0200 From: Willard McCarty Subject: residues from algorithms Recently I've been at a workshop on computational ethnomusicology at the Lorentz Center (https://www.lorentzcenter.nl) in Leiden, to talk about modelling. As usual I drew attention to the value of anomalies (a.k.a the 'residue', as some would say). A lecturer from Queen Mary (London), Bob Sturm, described an experiment in processing of music in which the algorithm he was using was unusually successful. Looking at the data afterwards, however, he discovered that this success was due to a part of the audio signal well beyond human hearing -- most likely an artefact of the recording technologies. So, in this case, the 'residue' was the music, all of it. Great success from automatic processes for entirely the wrong reason leads to the question of results from black-boxes, and so to strategies for building confidence in those results. But then we are cognitive black-boxes. What's at fault here, one could say, is our attitude toward the digital machine, regarded as a jukebox of truth. How we deal with each other is the right model for the modelling machine? Comments?

As the result of changes in their ownership over the centuries, they are now spread all over the world. Collectively they constitute a great cultural and scholarly treasure. There are many sources of data relating to them, and new sources continue to proliferate in the digital environment. This project will link disparate datasets from Europe and North America to provide an international view of the history and provenance of these manuscripts. The aggregated data will enable researchers to analyse and visualize these topics at scales ranging from individual manuscripts to thousands of manuscripts. Our research will address their origins and movements, and the collectors and owners involved in their history. We will be able to show how these manuscripts have traveled across time and space to their current locations, where they continue to find new audiences. The project will run from 2017 to 2019, as part of the Digging into Data Challenge, which is funded by 16 funding bodies in 11 countries through the Trans-Atlantic Platform.

We look forward to welcoming you to Ryerson for what promises to be a great three days of Digital Humanities Scholarship! Kim Martin and Jason Boyd 2017 CSDH/SCHN Conference Co-Chairs Finer Fruits: a Game as Participatory Text Tracy Fullerton Game designer Tracy Fullerton has spent the last decade translating Henry David Thoreau’s classic text Walden or, Life in the Woods into a playable experience –- a game about Thoreau’s experiment in living at Walden Pond. The result, Walden, a game is an open world experience that immerses players in Thoreau’s writings and ideas through its system, world and narrative design, providing an open-ended experience where players make their own choices about how to live a life of simplicity and balance. The game is based in a faithful digital reproduction of Walden Pond and surroundings circa 1845, including the political, social and natural environments that are reflected in Thoreau’s works. Characters such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Bronson Alcott, Margaret Fuller, Horace Greeley, Louis Agassiz, Sophia Thoreau and others provide a rich set of interactions and storylines to play out against the solitude of the core experiment in self-reliant living. As players live out their own experiment, they collect in their own journal a procedural version of Walden based on the choices they’ve made that reference a database underlying the world design that consists of hundreds of direct references to Thoreau’s writings. In a discussion of the project goals, process and outcomes, Fullerton presents a vision for the digital humanities that includes game design research as scholarship and deep digital gameplay around textual adaptations as an exciting format for the digital humanities. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 30 Mar 2017 19:31:38 -0400 From: Kim Subject: Early Bird Deadline: DH@Guelph A gentle reminder that the early bird deadline for the DH@Guelph Summer Workshops is Saturday, April 1st at midnight.

Register NOW http://www.dhtraining.org/hilt2017 HILT will be held June 5–8, 2017, with special events on June 9, on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. We invite the member centers of the CenterNet network to join us and take advantage of the group discount (25% off groups of 5 of more). Courses for 2017 include: COLLABORATION FOR COMPLEX RESEARCH: CROWDSOURCING IN THE HUMANITIES Meghan Ferriter, Project Coordinator, Smithsonian Transcription Center Crowdsourcing can catalyze discovery and assist humanities research by mobilizing people to undertake tasks involving in-depth, large-scale, and cost-effective information gathering. When well-designed and managed effectively, crowdsourcing projects can successfully support research activities ranging from labelling images, transcribing documents, and annotating text, to parsing workflows through categorization and decision trees. In this course, we will explore the findings of case studies from around the world and across disciplines. Participants in will explore successes and lessons learned in projects in humanities contexts, cultural heritage organizations, and citizen science. Together, we will unpack best practice in designing, managing, evolving, and completing participatory projects. We’ll assess the challenges of recruiting and supporting participants, as well as project workflows and managing data. Students will gather hands-on experience with a range of ongoing crowdsourcing projects. We will discuss ethical considerations, responsible project design, and managing the unexpected. The class will map research and institutional needs, organizational limitations, and available tools to practical workflows. We will also consider the ways complex project goals can be broken down, modified, or scaled to achieve step-by-step success. Students will also have the opportunity to collaborate on designing a project organized around resources of their choice; building on the examples investigated during our session. Join us in this course to further evaluate crowdsourcing as a practical tool for analysis in the humanities. GETTING STARTED WITH DATA, TOOLS, AND PLATFORMS Brandon Locke, Director, Lab for the Education and Advancement in Digital Research (LEADR), Michigan State University Thomas Padilla, Humanities Data Curator, University of California, Santa Barbara Starting a digital humanities research project can be quite intimidating. This course is designed to make that process less so by exploring tools and platforms that support digital humanities research, analysis, and publication. We will begin by reframing sources as data that enable digital research. We will work throughout the week on approaches to (1) finding, evaluating, and acquiring (2) cleaning and preparing (3) exploring (4) analyzing (5) communicating and sharing data. Emphasis will be placed across all stages on how to manage a beginner digital research project in such a way that helps to ensure that your project remains accessible, that the process is well documented, and that the data are reusable. WORKING WITH SCALAR Curtis Fletcher, Associate Director of the Polymathic Labs, University of Southern California Libraries, and Co-Principal Investigator, Scalar Project This 4-day workshop is for scholars and students who wish to work on a Scalar project or publication and seek comprehensive training in the platform and in-depth support with editorial, technical and design decisions. The workshop will include basic, intermediate and advanced training sessions in Scalar, discussions of readings on multimodal scholarship, and both collaborative whiteboarding sessions and one-on-one design meetings devoted to each project. The aim of the workshop is to help participants think through the conceptual, structural and technical aspects of their projects as well as the project’s relation to the emergent field of digital media and scholarship overall. Scalar is a free, open source authoring and publishing platform designed for scholars writing media-rich, born-digital scholarship. Developed by The Alliance for Networking Visual Culture, Scalar allows scholars to assemble media from multiple sources and juxtapose that media with their own writing in a variety of ways and to structure essay- and book-length works in ways that take advantage of the unique capabilities of digital writing, including nested, recursive, and non-linear formats. HELP! I’M A HUMANIST! — PROGRAMMING FOR HUMANISTS WITH PYTHON Brandon Walsh, Assistant Professor and Mellon Digital Humanities Fellow, Washington and Lee University Libraries This course introduces participants to humanities programming through the use of Python for data acquisition, cleaning, and analysis. The course assumes no prior technical knowledge and will focus on accomplishing basic research tasks. Students should walk away feeling equipped to tackle a variety of typical problems that arise for digital humanists. We will discuss programming and debugging concepts through the design, implementation, and presentation of small text analysis projects. Primary technologies and topics covered in this course will include the command line, Git, GitHub, and Python; working with data sources such as API’s, CSV files, and data scraped from the web; and basic text analysis. Over the course of the week, we will work with data from DPLA and Project Gutenberg. If the words above mean nothing to you, don’t panic—this course is for you. BLACK PUBLICS IN THE HUMANITIES: CRITICAL AND COLLABORATIVE DH PROJECTS Sarah Patterson, Graduate Student Co-Founder and Coordinator, Colored Conventions Project, PhD Candidate, University of Delaware Jim Casey, Graduate Student Co-Founder and Coordinator, Colored Conventions Project, PhD Candidate, University of Delaware Forming reciprocal partnerships between academia and publics realizes a primary goal of calls for social justice in Digital Humanities practices and projects. In this discussion-centric course, we will explore the possibilities for developing collaborative and public-facing digital projects invested in social justice. As a path to cultural criticism, we ask: how might we adapt digital practices in the humanities to bring students and public communities into our scholarship on Black American experiences and other underrepresented identities and texts in DH? What are some of the challenges of working through the politics of marginalization and with scattered archives, and how might we design multi-faceted projects that engage those topics in meaningful ways? This course will cover the intersections of project management, digital pedagogy and data visualization. We will hone strategies for weaving together inclusive community partnerships with undergraduate research through crowdsourcing, exhibits, and digital collections. Taking a hands-on approach, we will become acquainted with the processes of data. How do datasets make arguments? How can we collaborate with librarians and information professionals to unpack the resonances of power, authority, and violence in humanities data? Using the Colored Conventions Project and other small- to medium-sized DH projects as examples, students will have the opportunity to create and workshop blueprints for their own projects. By the end of the week, participants will have a working understanding of an array of approaches to project design and implementation, including data viz., metadata, curriculum, and more. TEXT ANALYSIS Katie Rawson, Humanities Librarian, Emory University Can topic modeling help me answer my question? How do I extract the people and places from the texts I study? What is principal component analysis? How do I build a corpus I can mine using text analysis tools? How can I study shifts in discourse over time? This class will examine methods and practices for text analysis. Freely available tools and excellent tutorials have made it easier to apply computational text analysis techniques; however, researchers may still find themselves struggling with how to build their corpus, decide upon a method, and interpret results. We will survey the how and why of variety of commonly used methods (e.g. word distribution, topic modeling, natural language processing) as well as how develop and manage a collection of texts. NEW APPROACHES TO LITERARY ARCHIVES Porter Olsen, PhD Candidate, University of Maryland The past decade has seen the rise of hybrid and born-digital literary collections as prominent authors from the latter 20th century have (either in person or through their estates) donated their papers to libraries and other collecting institutions. Over that period the archival community has worked to develop the necessary preservation methods and access systems to ensure the long-term preservation of these born-digital materials, while also making them available to researchers. Like the archivists tasked with processing these born-digital materials, the scholar of latter 20th and early 21st century literature must also develop new skills and expertise. In this course participants will develop those skills and digital fluencies necessary to take full advantage of existing and future hybrid literary collections. Participants will learn fundamentals of digital objects including how data is stored on a variety of legacy and contemporary media, how to access file-level metadata such as file creation and modification times, and how to work with a variety of file systems. We will also carefully explore examples of born-digital and hybrid literary collections such as the Salman Rushdie collection at Emory University, the John Updike collection at Harvard University, and the Gabriel Garcia Marquez collection at the Harry Ransom Center. Instruction will be a mixture of lecture, discussion, and hands-on practical activities. HUMANITIES RESEARCH WITH SOUND: INTRODUCTION TO AUDIO MACHINE LEARNING Stephen McLaughlin, PhD Candidate, University of Texas at Austin Libraries and archives have digitized thousands of hours of historical audio in recent years, including literary performances, radio programs, and oral histories. In the rush to preserve these recordings before their physical media decay, applying detailed metadata has often been an afterthought. Unlike digitized text, which is readily searchable in most cases, describing the contents of audio recordings typically means listening in real time. Using a range of tools, the High-Performance Sound Technologies for Access and Scholarship (HiPSTAS) project at the University of Texas at Austin has worked to shine a light on these large collections and encourage their use in research. Participants will gain skills useful for using sound collections for a range of humanities research questions. By learning the basics of how to discover and identify patterns, search and sift collections of sounds, humanists can unlock new collections of valuable primary source material. This workshop will begin with an overview of machine learning techniques for expediting audio annotation, beginning with event detection classifiers, speaker diarization, and speech-to-text processing. We will then use the GUI-based tool Sonic Visualiser to tag audio events and use those data to search for additional instances in a wider corpus. Experience recording or editing digital audio will be helpful but is not strictly necessary. No prior experience with Python or machine learning is required. INTRODUCTION TO THE TEXT ENCODING INITIATIVE (TEI) FOR HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS Caitlin Pollock, Digital Humanities Librarian, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines are a standard defining an XML vocabulary for representing textual materials in digital form. This course will focus on encoding historical primary sources both to give provide context and to support analysis and visualization of features of text relevant to humanities scholars. In this introductory course, participants will focus on documenting provenance of historical materials, recording bibliographic metadata, and developing encoding workflows that identify features of interest. Participants will also become familiar with the TEI guidelines and will discuss how to manage text encoding projects in ways that support uniform data creation and best practices for integrating TEI with other metadata standards. Participants will review examples of TEI usage in other digital humanities project and then devote time to encoding TEI documents relevant to their research interests. For those with no previous experience, readings about XML and the TEI will be provided prior to class.

Willard McCarty, Professor of Digital Humanities at King’s College London, and Rik Lander, digital artist and theatre-maker, will deliver talks on AI from the twin perspectives of digital humanities and the arts. Creative practitioners in drama, film, television, music, fiction, visual arts etc. have been describing AI in their work for decades, even centuries. Today, for the first time, artificially intelligent entities are becoming a reality. This is presenting challenges for policy-making, for legal and ethical concerns, for the future of work, and more broadly for the wider culture. But, given that AI entities are steadily developing in unfamiliar ways which are largely foreign to human nature, what is the world they inhabit? How do/will they view us: as Gods, rivals, or savages, perhaps? How may humans understand the interactions between these artificial entities? How may we engage with their culture? And how will we be able to negotiate our future relationships with them? An anthropology of artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly necessary as these strange 'creatures' begin to form their communities in our midst. Programme 1.30 Arrival and tea/coffee 1.50 Welcome from Dr Stephen Gregg (Making Books) and Prof Andrew Hugill (Creative Computing) 2.00 Session 1 (chaired by Dr Michael Marcinkowski) Prof Willard McCarty: Modelling, ontology and wild thought: Toward an anthropology of the artificially intelligent Response by Dr Michael Marcinkowski Willard McCarty, PhD, FRAI, is Professor at King’s College London and Adjunct at Western Sydney and North Carolina State. For 2015-16 he and Matt Jockers convened the Institute in Digital Textual Studies at the National Humanities Center in North Carolina. He is Editor of Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (2008-) and the online seminar Humanist (1987-). His most recent award is the Roberto Busa Prize, Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (2013), for lifetime achievement in digital humanities. His current book project is an historical study of the relation between computing and the humanities. See www.mccarty.org.uk/. 2.50 Break 3.00 Session 2 (chaired by Prof Kate Pullinger) Rik Lander: Writing for Chatbots Artist and Senior Lecturer in Creative Media Design at the University of the West of England, Bristol. Rik Lander has over thirty years experience in creating multi-screen installations, interactive media and participatory drama. During the 1980s he was half of the Duvet Brothers creating scratch videos, which were characterised by found footage, Super-8 film and processed video. He made one of the UK’s first web dramas, magic-tree (2001). His participatory drama, The Memory Dealer (2010 - 2013) won a Royal Television Society Digital Innovation Award. His current work, Job Vacancy: Echoborg is a collaboration with the natural language processing company, Elzware Ltd. They have created a Chatbot as a central character in a live theatrical production. The outcome of the play depends on the conversations the audience have with the AI. http://riklander.co.uk/ 3.50 Break 4.00 Plenary Discussion, chaired by Prof Andrew Hugill Comments and questions invited from all participants 4.50 Close For any questions about this event, please contact Professor Andrew Hugill at a.hugill@bathspa.ac.uk -- Professor Andrew Hugill MA PhD FRSA PFHEA Centre for Creative Computing Bath Spa University Corsham Court Corsham SN13 0BZ T: +44 (0)1225 876304 M: +44 (0)7899 891782 Visit www.bathspa.ac.uk Join us on: Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | LinkedIn Newton Park, Bath, BA2 9BN --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2017 19:06:43 +0000 From: "Lucky, Shannon" Subject: *CFP extended to Apr 12th - Access Library Technology Conference Access 2017 http://accessconference.ca CFP deadline extended to April 12th Access is Canada’s premier annual library technology conference bringing librarians, technicians, developers, programmers, and managers from all library sectors together to discuss cutting-edge library technologies.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 4 Apr 2017 13:33:58 -0500 From: "M. Hicks" Subject: CCM and Hidden Digital Labor [Forwarded from SIGCIS.] Hi all, I wanted to make sure everyone had seen Sarah Roberts's piece in the Atlantic on fake news, CCM, and the hidden labor that we often assume is algorithmic rather than human. Sarah is a longtime member whose work has consistently challenged the Silicon Valley narrative of seamless automation. Sarah in fact coined the term CCM, and is literally "writing the book on it." You may have met or seen her recently at our meeting at the Computer History Museum (Command Lines, #SIGCIS2017). I teach a course on the history of digital labor and Sarah's work never fails to amaze my students. I figure this up-to-the-minute encapsulation of her work might be useful to folks who teach similar courses. Here's an excerpt from her article, and a link below: "Missing from this evolving self portrayal [of social media websites], however, has been significant mention of a distinct kind of editorial practice that Facebook and most other prominent social-media platforms are involved in. Thus far, much of the post-election discussion of social-media companies has focused on algorithms and automated mechanisms that are often assumed to undergird most content-dissemination processes online. But algorithms are not the whole story. In fact, there is a profound human aspect to this work. I call it commercial content moderation, or CCM." https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/518796/ Best, Marie ______________________ Marie Hicks, Ph.D. Asst.

Listen to the recorded session, and then join us for a follow-up Q&A session this Thursday, April 6 at 3:00 p.m. EST. Links and full announcement available at: https://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops NHPRC-Mellon Planning Grants Call for Proposals DIGITAL EDITION PUBLISHING COOPERATIVES The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation invite proposals for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives. Working together, the Cooperatives will develop technical and human infrastructures to support the digital publication of documentary and scholarly editions and to provide for their long-term preservation, discovery, and use. This initiative responds to the urgent need of scholars and documentary editors for reliable, sustainable, authoritative, and field-driven outlets for publication and discovery of digital editions. At the same time, we hope to investigate the possibility of creating a federated system or systems for publishing and sustaining digital editions. Developing the Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives will be a two-stage process for Planning and Implementation. Up to eight planning grants will provide funds to support the first stage of this multi-year endeavor, beginning no later than February 1, 2018. Each project team will consist of a principal investigator to spearhead the initiative, a lead representative from each of at least three participating editions and the host institution(s). During the Planning stage, each team will develop a proposal for implementing a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative. Planning grants are for one year and up to $100,000. All planning teams would be eligible to apply for Implementation funding. Three implementation grants of between $350,000 and $500,000, each for up to three years, are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $1.25 million. Implementation grants will be awarded in September 2019, with a start date of no later than October 1, 2019. A full description of the program, its outcomes, and a glossary of special terminology, are available at: www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops.

It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, the Arts and 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. The Leipzig Summer University is special because it not only 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 etc., but because it tries to integrate also linguistics with 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. It is special furthermore because it consciously 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, Europe and many parts of the world, by relying 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 also wants to foster community building and networking across disciplines, languages and cultures, countries and continents, the programme of the Summer School features also communal coffee breaks, communal lunches in the refectory of the university, and a rich cultural programme (thematic guided tours, visits of archives, museums and exhibitions, and communal dinners in different parts of Leipzig). For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities "Culture & Technology": http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available.

This year's edition is co-organized with the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH) of the University of Luxembourg. The theme is: "(De)constructing Digital History". The conference will take place in November 27-29, 2017 in Lille , France. What is digital history? The term has been coined since at least 1999 (Ayers, 1999) and was further generalized by 2005 (Lines Andersen 2002, Lee 2002, Cohen & Rosenzweig 2005). Broadly defined, digital history is "an approach to examining and representing the past that works with the new communication technologies of the computer, the internet network, and software systems" (Seefeldt & Thomas 2009). In other words, it describes historical inquiry that is based on primary sources available as electronic data, whether digitized or born-digital, and the narratives that are constructed through such inquiries (Lee 2002). The rise of digital history is in general perceived as the phase defined by the democratization of the personal computer technology, network applications and the development of open-source software (Thomas 2004, Cohen & Rosenzweig 2005, Graham, Milligan & Weingart 2015). With slight differences in periodization, medium-centered (e.g. relying on the use of the computer) genealogies see digital history at least partly as a descendant of quantitative and computational history, tracing its beginnings through the end of the 40s to the 60s (Thomas 2004, Graham, Milligan & Weingart 2015). Broader approaches insist instead on the heritage of public and oral history (Noiret 2011, Scheinfeldt 2014). Digital history participated greatly to the rise and development of the field of digital humanities since the mid-2000s (Schreibman et al. 2004, Kirschenbaum 2010, Gold 2012). However, specific disciplinary objects, sources and approaches continue to be present within the connected use of methods and tools that takes place under the digital humanities big tent. A typology of digital history projects identifies three main fields: academic research, public history, and pedagogy projects, of which the last two categories are considered particularly specific to historians within the digital humanities field (Robertson 2016). We therefore propose to address digital history through this triple spectrum: academic research, public history, and pedagogy, in order to trace continuities and transformations in history as a discipline; and contribute to explore the broader digital humanities field through this case study. Conference Introduction Andreas Fickers (Professor, University of Luxembourg/Director C2DH) | "Digital History: On the heuristic potential of thinkering" Keynotes Bertrand Jouve (CNRS Senior Researcher in Mathematics) (forthcoming title) Manfred Thaller (Emeritus Professor, University of Cologne) | "Distrustful Brothers 2.0 - On the relationship of quantitative history and 'digital' history" Workshop November 29, 2017 Nodegoat Workshop: data modelling and usage of data in humanities and social sciences; data management, network analysis & visualisation in a web-based environment | Pim van Bree, Geert Kessels Focus areas 1/ Academic research It is understood that scholarly research in history has been affected by the digitization of sources, methods and the environment in which research is conducted, produced and disseminated (Clavert & Noiret 2013). Nonetheless, there also seems to be a tension between the potentiality of digital history and the actual delivery of argument-driven scholarship (Blevins 2016). In the last two decades, a significant number of digital history projects have been elaborated and, furthermore, digital history has been institutionalized through the creation of specialized departments in several universities. We should then be able to identify the impact of mutations in the ways historical research is driven and communicated, on the one hand; the novelties in objects, methods and analysis tools, and the eventual issues they raise, on the other. In this sense, what is called the data revolution (Kitchin 2014) is one important component to take into account and to explore further. The massive production of digitized/born-digital historical data challenges historians’ existent approaches and methods of research and analysis, as recent debates on the longue durée approach have shown (Guldi & Armitage 2014, Annales 70 2/2015) or the transnational turn (Putnam 2016), just to mention a few. Moreover, it raises issues on how historians relate with present time and what their role is in digital preservation matters as showcase social media and other web-based ephemeral data (Webster 2015, Rosenzweig 2003). What is essentially at stake is inter-/transdisciplinary cooperation, even the dependency of history on input from other disciplines, whether from human, social or computer science (computational linguistics, visual analytics...), engineering, library and information science. Indeed, the use of connected methodologies as historians adopt new epistemologies (data mining and visualization, GIS, encoded critical edition), sheds light on the need to adapt historians’ literacy through the development of a shared culture with computer science and mathematics (Genet 1986, Lamassé & Rygiel 2014). Furthermore, the ecology of scientific data raises some important interdisciplinary issues related to their collection, storage, archiving, dissemination and the correspondent infrastructures. What kind of scientific sovereignty can be exercised once data storage and infrastructures are externalized, and what is its impact on access and sustainability of scientific research and its output? How can disciplinary needs for effective organization and description of historical information be met (e.g. specific ontologies) in a global environment of structured interoperable data? Moreover, old problems of biases concerning the access of primary sources are updated as the result of digitization and its possible impact on availability or, instead, underrepresentation of certain types of archives (Putnam 2016, Milligan 2013). Let's consider, for example, the impact of institutional decision-making and constraints (such as financial ones) on the digitization of sources, new actors in the web ecosystem such as digitization companies, or even digital fractures and inequalities at national and transnational levels, just to evoke some of the most probable biases. Last but not least, one should not forget the biases that algorithms and software can generate during the collection and analysis of historical data. 2/ Digital history and public history From a vast literature on the synergies between digital and public history (see Noiret 2011, Cauvin 2016), we chose to focus on topics that shed light on the blurred frontiers between public and scholarly history, especially the osmosis between scholars, cultural heritage institutions, private sector and citizens. From this point of view, we propose to explore three main thematic unites. First, ways in which technology is used in the cultural heritage sector in order to engage the public with history: uses of social media, augmented and virtual reality, development of tools for the public to explore patrimonial data and collections, game industry and history, private sector digitization and engagement with history... Second, historical memory and the way it emerges at individual, collective and institutional levels to show using facts the relation of people to history and the multiple ways the present affects the perception of the past. Finally, the documentation of present-time events that actually builds primary sources and archives for future historians: crowdsourced archives, social and political movements documentation (such as Spanish 15M, Nuit débout, Women's March), political uses of technology (social media propaganda, institutional use of social media, political use of game industry as in the case of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict etc). How is authority conceived and how does the role of historian persist in such diversified multi-actor contexts? 3/ Pedagogy During the last few years, several digital history departments have been created in various universities in different countries. Furthermore, even in traditional history departments, teaching now integrates components of digital culture or associated skills. There are specialized tutorial blogs (The Programming Historian , La boîte à outils des historiens ) providing for skill transfers between historians; digital transdisciplinary schools (such as the Digital Methods Initiative of the University of Amsterdam); an array of online services or/and software for one to easily explore and analyze data (Düring et al. 2011, Nodegoat , AnalyseSHS ...). However, few systematic approaches allow to have an overall view of how historians get on with the digital transformations of their profession (Heimburger & Ruiz 2011) and even less from a transnational perspective. How are historians to teach digital history in these contexts and how are traditional and DH teaching articulated? What skills and methods do teachers need to develop for themselves, in order to teach them, and for their students to acquire them? How to better fit teaching to specific research interests so that students are able to acquire a method than simply become able to manage tools (Mahoney, Pierazzo 2012)? How are modules organized and how do students react to the teaching of digital history? How can a minimum skillset be defined in order to assure research of an acceptable quality and corresponding level publications but also a balance between a historian's basic training and the acquisition of this skillset? Although there have been works developing the discussion (and solutions) regarding mainly the web resources (Cohen, Rosenzweig 2006), there is less focus on the ways interdisciplinarity is embedded in digital history teaching and even less on how to deal with born-digital data (e.g. social media data) use and analysis as primary sources for historians in specific modules. Possible areas of interest for proposals include, but are not limited to, the following: Academic research Natural language processing and text analytics applied to historical documents Applications of GIS Social Network Analysis Image analysis Analysis of longitudinal document collections Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical references in text Digitizing and archiving Applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques to History Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data OCR and transcription Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science Novel techniques for storytelling Historical ontologies Historical data management and infrastructures Software and applications development Digital public history Museums and exhibiting the past Oral history and community projects Digital media, the Internet and participatory knowledge Moving images and documentaries Re-enactments and living history Historic preservation and community cultural heritage Public archaeology Social media, mobile app and user-generated contents Public policies and applied history Historical memory construction and the Web Teaching public history Pedagogy Introduction of digital research methods in classrooms Designing digital history curricula Digital teaching materials Digital media as alternative to text-based student theses and research papers Methods for digital student assessment Teaching digital literacy Teaching the history of the “Digital Age” Digital history teaching commons Proposals (up to 1000 words) can be submitted until May 31, 2017 in English or in French.

An intercultural dialogue." "Digital Humanities / Humanidades Digitales / Informatica Umanistica. An intercultural dialogue." The so-called "digital humanities" are taking root at international and institutional levels. Through the creation of new centers and new organizations it is possible to attract both resourses and funding, since a “digital” component is looked upon favorably by funding bodies. But while the digital humanities can be a powerful tool for innovation, one must not forget that no technology is culturally neutral. This round table aims to reflect on the phenomenon of DH from the point of view of society and the culture of the "South," questioning the uncritical adoption of epistemological and cultural patterns arising from the Global North and offering an alternative vision of the relationship between knowledge, territories, and digital technologies. 20th of April 2017, 14.30 Sala Riunioni, 4th floor Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche Via Chiabrera 199 A trilingual round table with: Barbara Bordalejo, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Manuel Salamanca, Universidad Complutense Teresa Numerico, Università Roma Tre Manuel Portela, Universidade de Coimbra Ernesto Priani, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Ernesto Priego, City, University of London Nuria Rodríguez, Universidad de Málaga Esteban Romero, Universidad de Granada Amelia Sanz, Universidad Complutense Coodinator: Domenico Fiormonte, Università Roma Tre This event is part of the project "Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades Digitales del Sur" and is supported by the following institutions: Centre for Human Computer Interaction Design, City, University of London Centro de Literatura Portuguesa, Coimbra Edición Literaria Electrónica, Universidad Complutense de Madrid Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia de Portugal iArtHis_Lab y Proyecto Exhibitium, Universidad de Málaga Medialab de la Universidad de Granada Red de Humanidades Digitales de México The Creative Archives' and Users' Network (UE) _______________________________________________ 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 1502D8D65; Wed, 5 Apr 2017 10:08:12 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 695228D5F; Wed, 5 Apr 2017 10:08:11 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 82F768D51; Wed, 5 Apr 2017 10:08:08 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170405080808.82F768D51@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 10:08:08 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.868 pubs: gaming 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: <20170405080811.2947.8974@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 868.

What is DAH? The ever-evolving developments in computing and their performative and analytical implications have brought about a quantum leap in arts and humanities research and practice. Digital Arts and Humanities is a field of study, research, teaching, and invention at the intersection of computing and information management with the arts and humanities. The DAH Structured PhD programme has developed a research platform, structures, partnerships and innovation models by which fourth-level researchers can engage with a wide range of stakeholders in order to contribute to the developing digital arts and humanities community world-wide, as participants and as leaders. Currently the program includes a vibrant community of 60 researchers throughout Ireland. Programme Structure Candidates will complete core, training and career development modules, including events in sister universities across Ireland. The overall aims of the taught modules are threefold: 1) to introduce students to the history and theoretical issues in digital arts/humanities; 2) to provide the skills needed to apply advanced computational and information management paradigms to humanities/arts research; 3) to provide an enabling framework for students to develop generic and transferable skills to carry out their final research projects/dissertations. Year 1 of the four-year programme includes core and optional graduate education modules. These modules provide a grounding in essential research skills and transferable skills together with access to specialist topics. In years 2 and 3 work on PhD research projects is supplemented with access to elective modules. Year 3 features practical placements in industry, academic research environments or cultural institutions. University College Cork has a strong track record in Digital Humanities and has been a pioneer in the development of digital tools for language study and historiography. The College is strong in all disciplines of the Humanities, with a particular concentration on Irish and European studies. The Digital Arts and Humanities program currently has 46 students from around the globe, studying topics ranging from Renaissance networking to eighteenth-century country houses, from modern performance art to Irish diaspora music performers in the USA and their stories. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2017 23:17:50 -0300 From: gimena del rio riande Subject: FORCE11 Communications Fellowship Program The FORCE11 is Seeking Applications for its 2017-2018 Communications Fellowship Program Application deadline: April 20, 2017 Application Details: https://goo.gl/AHb1Gd The FORCE11 http://www.force11.org/ is seeking applications from individuals who will implement the communication needs of the community.

The edition of this year has a specific focus on time and space annotation in textual data, backed by a keynote speaker with special interest in this aspect of corpus management. The second edition of CRH will be held in Vienna (Austria) on January 25th-26th 2018 and will be hosted Austrian Academy of Sciences, University of Vienna and Technische Universitaet Wien. The series of the CRH workshops continues that of the workshop on "Annotation of Corpora for Research in the Humanities" (ACRH), the three editions of which were held respectively in 2011 (Heidelberg, Germany), 2012 (Lisbon, Portugal) and 2013 (Sofia, Bulgaria). The first CRH was held in Warsaw (Poland) in 2015. Submissions of long abstracts for oral presentations and posters (with or without demonstrations) featuring high quality and previously unpublished research are invited on the following TOPICS: - specific issues related to the annotation of corpora for research in the Humanities (annotation schemes and principles), with special interest in space and time annotations - corpora as a basis for research in the Humanities - diachronic, historical and literary corpora - use of corpora for stylometrics and authorship attribution - philological issues, like different readings, textual variants, apparatus, non-standard orthography and spelling variation - adaptation of NLP tools for older language varieties - integration of corpora for the Humanities into language resources infrastructures - tools for building and accessing corpora for the Humanities - examples of fruitful collaboration between Computational Linguistics and Humanities in building and exploiting corpora - theoretical aspects of the use of empirical evidence provided by corpora in the Humanities This year, CRH will have a SPECIAL TOPIC concerning time and space annotation in textual data. Submissions with this focus are especially encouraged. Contributions reporting results from completed as well as ongoing research are welcome. They will be evaluated on novelty of approach and methods, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. The proceedings will be published in time for the workshop. They will be co-edited by Andrew Frank, Christine Ivanovic, Francesco Mambrini, Marco Passarotti and Caroline Sporleder. MOTIVATION AND AIMS Research in the Humanities is predominantly text-based. For centuries scholars have studied documents such as historical manuscripts, literary works, legal contracts, diaries of important personalities, old tax records etc. Large amounts of such documents exist and are increasingly available in digital form. This has a potentially profound impact on how research is conducted in the Humanities. Digitised sources allowing scholars to analyse texts quicker and more systematically. Digital data can also be (semi-)automatically mined: important facts and interdependencies can be detected, complex statistics can be calculated. Analysis of locations and time in documents is often crucial to understand and visualize trends. Results can be visualised and presented to the scholars, who can then delve further into the data for verification and deeper analysis. Digitisation encourages empirical research, opening the road for completely new research paradigms that exploit `big data' for humanities research. Digitisation is only a first step, however. In their raw form, electronic corpora are of limited use to humanities researchers. Corpus annotation can build on a long tradition in (corpus) linguistics and computational linguistics but the true potential of such resources is only unlocked if corpora are enriched with different layers of linguistic annotation (ranging from morphology to semantics, including location and time). The CRH workshop aims at building a tighter collaboration between people working in various areas of the Humanities (such as literature, philology, history, translational studies etc.) and the research community involved in developing, using and making accessible different kinds of corpora. A gap exists between computational linguists (who sometimes do not involve humanists in developing and exploiting corpora for the Humanities) and humanists (who sometimes just aren't aware that such corpora do exist and that automatic methods and standards to build and use them are today available). Over the past few years a number of historical annotated corpora have been started, among which are treebanks for Middle, Early Modern and Old English, Early New High German, Medieval Portuguese, Ugaritic, Latin, Ancient Greek and several translations of the New Testament into Indo-European languages. The experience of these ever-growing set of projects can provide many suggestions on the methodology as well as on the practice of interaction between literary studies, philology and corpus linguistics. INVITED SPEAKERS - Tara L. Andrews, University of Wien, Austria (http://www.univie.ac.at/Geschichte/htdocs2/site/arti.php/91079) - James Pustejovsky, Brandeis University, MA, USA (http://jamespusto.com/) IMPORTANT DATES Deadlines : - Abstract submission: 8 October 2017 - Notification of acceptance: 5 November 2017 - Final version of paper: 3 December 2017 - Workshop: 25-26 January 2018 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION We invite to submit long abstracts describing original, unpublished research related to the topics of the workshop as PDF. Abstracts should not exceed 6 pages (references included) and written in English. Submissions have to be made via the EasyChair page of the workshop at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=crh2 (requires prior registration with EasyChair). The style guidelines can be found here: http://www.oeaw.ac.at/forschung-institute/biblio/academiae-corpora/ac/crh2/authors-kit/. Reviewing will be double-blind; therefore, the abstract should not include the authors' names and affiliations or any references to web-sites, project names etc. revealing the authors' identity. Furthermore, any self-reference should be avoided. For instance, instead of "We previously showed (Brown, 2001)...", use citations such as "Brown previously showed (Brown, 2001)...". Each submitted abstract will be reviewed by three members of the program committee. Submitted abstracts can be for oral or poster presentations (possibly with demo). There is no difference between the different kinds of presentation both in terms of reviewing process and publication in the proceedings (the limit of 6 pages holds for both abstracts intended for oral and poster presentations). The authors of the accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full version of their paper, which may be extended up to 10 pages (references included). PRESENTATIONS The oral presentations at the workshop will be 30 minutes long (25 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions and discussion). Depending on the number of submissions, a poster session might be organised as well. SPECIAL SOCIAL EVENT On the night of 25 January, the TU WIen organizes their TU-Ball at the imperial Hofburg (http://www.tu-ball.at/en/home/). Participants may take part in this unique festivity (details later). Do not miss such an opportunity to participate in this highlight of the Viennese ball season!

The Digitisation Days aim to present an up-to-date vision of the most recent advances in technology for the digitisation of text, to showcase successful experiences in their application and to explore the challenges for the near future of digitisation. It comprises the DATeCH International Conference that is conceived as forum to present, discuss and showcase latest techniques in digitisation and related fields. The Digitisation Days and the DATeCH International Conference are supported by the Impact Centre of Competence and organised by the Göttingen State and University Library and the University of Göttingen. Where and when will they take place? The Digitisation Days will take place in Göttingen at the facilities of the Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen, Historical Building (Papendiek 14, 37073 Göttingen) on 1-2 June 2017. Why should I attend the DigitisationDays? * Become aware of new technology for the digitisation of textual content. * Influence future trendsin digitisation: meet researchers, leading companies, and service providers and discuss your requirements. * Participate in thediscussionsabout the future of digitisation. Experts and representatives of the European Commission will share their vision. * Network and build new connectionswith representatives of libraries, companies and institutions involved in digitisation. See the list of accepted papers athttp://ddays.digitisation.eu/datech-2017/accepted-papers/ Satellite workshops On May 30th - 31st, the following workshops will take place. The registration for these workshops is independent of the conference registration. * The journey from physical to digital and advancements in culture heritage digitisation May 30th, 2017, 9 :00AM -- 4:30 PM This two-part workshop will introduce the basics of the digitisation lifecycle with emphasis on workflows and best practice, and facilitate a discussion about optimisation of the end-to-end digitisation process to increase scalability and improve the quality and usability of the digitised assets. * TRACER tutorial for computational text reuse detection 30th May 2017, 9 AM -- 6 PM The tutorial builds on eTRAP’s research activities, most of which deploy our TRACER machine. TRACER is a suite of algorithms aimed at investigating text reuse in different corpora, be those prose, poetry, in Italian, Latin, Ancient Greek or medieval German.

The conference will concern a range of issues involving the materiality of texts, including their physical, virtual, and performative manifestations as objects that can decay or break down and can potentially be repaired and sustained over time. It will also concern the processes of inclusion and exclusion through which bodies of texts take shape in the form of editions, archives, collections, and exhibition building, as well as the ethical responsibilities faced by textual scholars, archivists, conservationists, media archaeologists, digital resource creators, and cultural heritage professionals engaging in these processes. The conference keynotes will be delivered by Marisa Parham (“Haunting, Virtuality, and other Archival Materialities”) and Susan Brown (“N-bodied Texts”). Preceding the conference there will be five workshops related to its themes. The full program and logistical information can be found here: http://mith.umd.edu/sts2017/program/. Join us!

Approaches developed to provide access to these collections often emulate analog research experiences that focus on supporting single object interactions and features like virtual "page" turners. While approaches of this kind have been very valuable for some kinds of scholarship, researchers and instructors seeking to leverage computation can find it difficult to work with collections developed in this vein. One barrier to developing approaches that better support these researchers is an incomplete understanding of how humanists, among others, are using and reusing cultural heritage data - and what they may need moving forward. Collections as Data is one of a range of efforts encouraging cultural heritage organizations to develop collections and systems that are more amenable to emerging computational methods and tools. Beyond simply designing-to-fit, the movement towards computationally amenable collections provides an opportunity to reframe, enrich, and/or contextualize collections in a manner that seeks to avoid replication of long standing biases inherent in cultural heritage collection practice. In this day-long Digital Humanities 2017 pre-conference workshop, we aim to engage directly with research and pedagogical practice that draws upon digital collection use. This workshop will ultimately inform the development of recommendations that aim to support cultural heritage community efforts to make collections available as data. Proposals We seek proposals for talks, demonstrations (of projects, collections, tools, datasets, or other work), hands-on instruction, or walk-throughs that explore approaches and issues common to computational creation and/or use, and reuse, of digital collections. Proposals for talks can be brief (10 minutes) or extended (30 minutes). Similarly, proposals for demonstrations and hands-on instruction can be brief (30 minutes) or extended (60 minutes). We encourage submissions from all members of the DH community engaged with cultural heritage collection data, whether using data, preparing and stewarding data, or designing interfaces that enable discovery and access. We are invested in developing a program that reflects the international scope of DH work. Please submit your proposal (300 words) using the online form by May 7, 2017. Notification of acceptances will be sent out on or before June 1, 2017. The pre-conference workshop will take place August 7, 2017.

The bold claim of their research, documented in The Bestseller Code, is that novels that hit the New York Times bestseller list are not random lottery winners but books that share an uncanny number of textual features. In this lecture, Jockers will describe how he went from being a close reader of language in Joyce's Ulysses to mining thousands of novels in search of the linguistic patterns most typical to books that best sell. Please note registration is required for this free event. With thanks to funding by the London Arts & Humanities Partnership , and the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities . Speaker Matthew L. Jockers is the Susan J. Rosowski Associate Professor of English and Associate Dean for Research and Partnerships in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Nebraska . He is a Faculty Fellow in the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities and Director of the Nebraska Literary Lab . Jockers’s research is focused on computational approaches to the study of literature, especially large collections of literature. His books include Macroanalysis: Digital Methods and Literary History (UIUC Press 2013), Text Analysis with R for Students of Literature (Spring 2014) and, with Jodie Archer, The Bestseller Code: Anatomy of the Blockbuster Novel (St. Martins 2016). His research has been profiled in the academic and main stream press including features in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Nature, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Wired, New Scientist, Smithsonian, NBC News and many more. _______________________________________________ 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 1BDE88D76; Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:00:41 +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 2E2918D71; Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:00:40 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 695878D1C; Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:00:38 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170408080038.695878D1C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:00:38 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.879 position as wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (Hamburg) 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: <20170408080040.11819.60280@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 879.

III Congreso Internacional de la HDH *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1491559021_2017-04-07_humanist-owner@lists.digitalhumanities.org_11868.2.pdf Estimados compañeros: Desde el comité organizador del III Congreso Internacional de Humanidades Digitales Hispánicas, queremos informar de la apertura del plazo para la presentación de propuestas, que se extenderá hasta finales de abril (para más información: http://hdh2017.es/hdh2017/envio-de-propuestas/). El congreso tendrá lugar del 18 al 20 de octubre de 2017 Málaga. El congreso internacional que celebra bianualmente la Sociedad Internacional de Humanidades Digitales Hispánicas (HDH) constituye el principal evento científico-académico relacionado con las Humanidades Digitales que se desarrollan en español, congregando a investigadores, académicos, profesionales y estudiantes de Europa, América Latina, Estados Unidos y Canadá. El desarrollo de las tecnologías computacionales y la expansión del medio digital han dado lugar a importantes transformaciones desde el punto de vista social, político, cultural y epistemológico. Las Humanidades Digitales, como campo de investigación, reflexión crítica y acción, se ha constituido en uno de los actores fundamentales en este proceso de transformación, contribuyendo, por una parte, a su propio desarrollo; y por otra, a su análisis crítico. De este modo, la práctica de las Humanidades Digitales nos ayuda a expandir la sociedad contemporánea imbricándola en los nuevos modos de acceso, producción y distribución del conocimiento, la cultura, las acciones sociales, los discursos políticos, etc., pero también a ser conscientes de sus problemas, desequilibrios e incertidumbres. El III Congreso Internacional de la HDH quiere centrar la atención en este papel crucial desempeñado por las Humanidades Digitales, abordando tres dimensiones fundamentales: sociedades, políticas y saberes. La pregunta que proponemos es la siguiente: ¿de qué manera las Humanidades Digitales están contribuyendo –o pueden contribuir- a la transformación de estas dimensiones en los distintos contextos territoriales y culturales en los que se desarrollan? Invitamos pues, a presentar propuestas que profundicen en esta línea de preguntas –u otras relacionadas con el tema del congreso- desde las cuatro vertientes que constituyen el núcleo fundamental de las Humanidades Digitales: reflexión crítica, investigación científico-académica, prácticas educativas innovadoras y activismo comprometido. Este congreso también quiere prestar especial atención a las formas creativas de la cultura digital como espacios de reflexión, investigación y acción. Serán, pues, especialmente bienvenidas aquellas comunicaciones que muestren las formas en las que los nuevos medios, las literaturas y las artes digitales contribuyen al desarrollo de la cultura digital y a la reflexión crítica sobre sus condiciones.

The meeting will be held at the University of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada. Workshops are scheduled for November 11 and 12, with the conference on November 13-15. The cfp that is reproduced here can also be found on the conference website http://www.tei-c.org/Membership/Meetings/2017/ Call for Papers The Program Committee is pleased to announce its call for proposals for the 17th annual Conference and Members Meeting of the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium (TEI), which will be held November 13-15, 2017, at the University of Victoria, B.C., Canada; with workshops November 11-12. This year's theme, Pedagogy and Praxis, is particularly apt since we are meeting at the home of the widely celebrated Digital Humanities Summer Institute. All TEI-related proposals for individual papers, panel sessions, posters, and demonstrations are welcome. Special consideration will be given to proposals related to this year's theme, Pedagogy and Praxis. In teaching and learning TEI, we engage students in real research partnerships, giving them opportunities to produce the editions they use in the classroom. Yet materials for teaching TEI are still nascent and consist mainly of project documentation, the TEI’s own introductory materials, online tutorials, and collected examples. The crucial next phase of DH work is training. Pedagogy is closely allied to praxis, the ways in which ideas become digital objects. The majority of current practitioners of TEI have acquired their skills in haphazard ways, via what Diane Jakacki has called a “second education.” However, as the tools and technologies have matured and the practices have become more rigorous and theoretically-inflected, we have a disciplinary obligation to develop equally rigorous and standardized training methods for new learners. Our CFP therefore invites proposals that interrogate, theorize, and model how we might best transform TEI standards into collaborative knowledge construction. We encourage submissions that describe pedagogical experiments (failed or successful), showcase tools and materials that encoding classes will need, propose ways of embedding encoding classes into current curricula, theorize the relationship between TEI practice and classroom praxis, reflect on what collaboration means in the pedagogical environment, describe partnerships between classrooms and DH projects, and imagine future training opportunities. Our conference theme thus foregrounds the development of skills and activities of future scholars. Submissions All submissions should include a title, an abstract, a brief biography of all the author(s)/speaker(s), and up to five keywords. Word counts apply to the text of the abstract, excluding titles, biographies and keywords. Individual papers Speakers will be given 30 minutes each: 20 minutes for presentation, 10 minutes for discussion. Proposals should not exceed 300 words. Panel sessions Panels will be given 90 minutes, which can be used flexibly to include, for example, 3 individual papers followed by questions, or a roundtable discussion. Panel proposals must include a list of speakers and their biographies. Proposals for 3 papers should not exceed 3 x 300 words, plus a 200-word introduction. Proposals for discussion panels should not exceed 600 words. Posters A “poster slam” session will be dedicated to poster presentations of 3 minutes each. Subsequently, poster presenters will have the chance to tell interested parties more about their project during the poster exhibition, where the audience can browse freely. Proposals for poster presentations should not exceed 300 words. Demonstrations A dedicated demonstration session will provide tool presenters with an opportunity to show the tools they are working on and with. Tool demonstrators will be given 15 minutes each: 10 minutes for presentation, 5 minutes for questions. Proposals for tool demonstrations should not exceed 300 words. Workshops Workshops will be held before the conference, November 11-12, 2017. They provide an opportunity for participants to work together on TEI-related topics. Proposals for workshops should not exceed 800 words and must include: * A brief outline of the proposed topic and its appeal to the TEI community * The duration of the proposed workshop or seminar (half day, full day) * Any special requirements (e.g. laptops, projector, flipchart) * A list of proposed workshop leader(s), with a brief biography of each one Special Interest Groups (SIGs) If you are interested in holding a SIG meeting during the conference, please contact the local hosts to book a room: mholmes@uvic.ca . Language The proposals must be submitted in English. The preferred conference language is English. French is also possible. Submission Procedure Proposals must be submitted online via ConfTool: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.conftool.net%2Ftei2017%2F&data=01%7C01%7CWillard.McCarty%40kcl.ac.uk%7Cfb12dcf53a20460e401808d47debc3e7%7C8370cf1416f34c16b83c724071654356%7C0&sdata=WPZvr99yZXNhAbytdTYYgfWwk8Z7HyUztV3DLezOnNg%3D&reserved=0. If you have previously had an account on the ConfTool system to submit to a prior TEI conference, your login should still work. You will need an account to submit a proposal. Participants of the 2016 TEI Conference and Members Meeting can re-use their ConfTool account. The deadline for submissions is May 15, 2017. All proposals will be peer-reviewed by the Program Committee. Acceptances will be notified by June 17, 2017. The deadline for submissions of the final abstracts is July 31, 2017. Conference Proceedings Conference papers and posters will be considered for inclusion in the peer-reviewed conference proceedings, edited as a special issue of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative. We look forward to reading your proposals and to seeing you in Victoria.

These awards are modeled in the form of HTRC staff and compute time to collaborate on the proposed project during the award period. 4-6 awards are anticipated, and awardees can be individual scholars or a team of scholars, either from HathiTrust member institutions or non-members, though 3 award spots will be reserved for applicants from HT member institutions. The HTRC ACS-dedicated staff will provide a general overview of HTRC components, the HT corpus and HT computational tools, to the awardees over the course of the project’s time period. For this RFP, we are especially encouraging proposals that will utilize our Data Capsule (https://wiki.htrc.illinois.edu/display/COM/HTRC+Data+Capsule) to do analysis on in-copyright volumes in HathiTrust. Proposals should be concise, and include project narrative, detailed description of the data you’re interested in engaging with, a schedule of completion, and list of deliverables. Full details of required components can be found in the full ACS RFP, available here: https://www.hathitrust.org/htrc_sp17_acs-rfp Deadline for submission is 5:00 pm Eastern, June 19, 2017, submitted electronically. For any questions or to submit your proposal, email acs@hathitrust.org. __________________ For more information on HTRC: hathitrust.org/htrc To see HTRCs tools/datasets: analytics.hathitrust.org For general inquiries: htrc-help@hathitrust.org _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 7454B8D7E; Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:13:36 +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 889DD8D79; Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:13:35 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 32A768D75; Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:13:33 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170408081333.32A768D75@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2017 10:13:33 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.882 pubs: quantitative linguistics; chinese snowflake cake stencils &c 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: <20170408081336.14831.52696@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 882.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 19:59:45 +0200 From: Ken Friedman Subject: Research Request Dear Colleagues, This is a request for your help finding articles, reports, and documents of any kind on the topics of 1) practice based research, 2) practice led research, 3) practice as research, 4) artistic research. In working on an article, I am discovering that authors use these terms in many different ways. In some cases, the same terms designate very different approaches, methods, or perspectives. In other cases, different terms indicate the same approach, method, or perspective. More confusing still, some of these terms designate approaches, methods, or perspectives that could easily be characterized using standard research terms from the social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, or liberal arts — other than the fact artists, designers, architects, composers, or other practitioners of the fine arts or creative arts have done the projects, they might easily have been done by researchers in other fields. I seek anything that anyone can send me that has been published in books, journals, reports, or even in the gray literature. I also welcome research documents such as PhD dissertations or theses that exemplify these terms if when the documents contain an explicit method or methodology section that defines terms and methods, When possible, I’d like actual documents in .pdf or MS Word .docx or .doc formats. Please send these direct to me at ken.friedman.sheji@icloud.com It is easy to send documents in any standard format by using WeTransfer. WeTransfer hosts a free service that allows users to send up to 20 GB at no cost. It is easy to upload documents, and easy to download them. https://wetransfer.com/ When documents are not accessible, I also welcome links. As usual, I will compile the documentation that I receive. I will send a complete bibliography to everyone who contributes, and I will make the full collection available to anyone who wishes a copy. This project will take two or three months. As with similar projects in the past, I will release the bibliography and make the collection available when it is done. If you have materials, I will be deeply grateful for your help.

New pedagogical perspectives relating to new questions or ideological trends, either in museology or in the disciplines represented in the collections, are also influential. This workshop will focus on selected case studies to analyse the impact of these changes on methodological issues relating to universal histories and universal museums. In particular, the evolution of the museum will be discussed in relation to the impact of temporary exhibitions and the circulation of knowledge in the public sphere. The workshop will explore how social knowledge practices influence the structuring of institutional knowledge, and the emergence of new disciplines. The case studies that we will use to trace this evolution over time are the 1876 Loan Collection of Scientific Apparatus at the South Kensington Museum and the creation of the Musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro. The 1876 Loan Exhibition is a temporary exhibition which took place in 1876 at the South Kensington Museum and was one of the founding displays which led to the creation of the Science Museum. This exhibition offers an ideal case study for the ways in which temporary displays have a permanent legacy in national and international museum collections, and how far the interpretation and presentation of materials was transformed in this process. The Musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro opened in 1882 following the 1878 International Exhibition, for which the Trocadéro palace had been built. Though many studies have focused on the successive transformations of this museum in the Musée de l'Homme and, successively, the Musée du Quai Branly and the MUCEM, the first assemblage and display of these ethnographic collections is less well known. Drawing on the place given to the arts, the regions, and different themes in universal exhibitions in Paris, and particularly in the 1878 exhibition, the discussion of the Musée d'Ethnographie will cast new light on the motivations and relationships of collectors, learned societies, politicians, and publics in informing the creation of this museum. The workshop will bring together researchers from ethnography, history of science, and museum history, to explore the evolution of museums, mainly - but not only - in France and the UK. The workshop will also contain a session with the objects studied in the Universal Histories and Universal Museums project. We invite papers and posters exploring the agencies and reception of these two institutions and their collections. Contributions might consider, but need not be confined to, the following themes: History and/or comparison of the science and art collections in the South Kensington Museum, and the foundation of the Science Museum History of ethnographic collections in Paris (and direct comparisons with other cities and particularly with London) and of the first Musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro The impact of temporary exhibitions and universal exhibitions on the creation and development of museum collections. Important information: Papers - abstract: 300 words (30 minutes papers) Poster presentations - abstract: 300 words Deadline for both abstracts: 30th April 2017. Send abstracts to: universalhistoriesmuseums@gmail.com. Please direct any enquiries to: research@sciencemuseum.ac.uk Authors will be notified by the 12th May.

Many researchers in these fields are now explicitly recording the spatial and temporal attributes of their data and mapping them for visual analysis and argumentation. In many cases they are also performing spatial or spatial-temporal computations, including but not limited to viewshed, network, and cluster analyses, and agent-based and other models and simulations are increasingly common. The software used for this work is the same as that used for the environmental and social sciences: desktop GIS and specialized spatial and natural language processing libraries for the Python and R languages. These new spatial researchers are experiencing the same representational and analytic challenges in studying geographical dynamics that are well known to other disciplines, but they also face distinctive issues related to the nature of historical humanities data. Furthermore, epistemologies associated with new quantitative approaches must be reconciled with their traditional methodological practices. Spatial information theorists and geographic information scientists have not normally drawn from humanities research cases for their development of theoretical models or the specific software and systems built upon such models. It is our belief the time is ripe for fruitful dialog between these groups. To further and encourage such dialog, we invite papers that explicitly address one or more of these distinctive issues, particularly in the context of active or recent humanities research: - computing over sparse and uncertain data, e.g., the life courses of historical individuals - comparing and conflating conflicting assertions about the same phenomena from multiple sources - representing and analyzing place as experienced space - theorizing historical events and processes and their formal representation as spatial-temporal data, in simple, useful indexing and reasoning systems - building digital historical gazetteers, challenges for which include: - automated and machine-assisted discovery of place references in historical texts - place and place-name disambiguation - representing not only real‑world places but fictional or speculative ones - formalizing complex spatio-temporal relations (e.g., topological) in texts; modeling entities with evidence of multi-space, multi-time properties - integrated methods for performing textual analysis with spatial analysis - scaling of discovery methods for aggregate analyses on very large collections - place sentiment analysis - computational narrative analysis as it relates to space and place - cartographic representations of historical textual information SUBMISSIONS We are accepting short paper submissions (6-8 pages, including tables, figures, and references) on the topics of interest described above. We encourage paper submissions from researchers working on these issues from any disciplinary perspective. All articles must be prepared using either the Springer Word Document Template or the Springer Latex Document Template (contributed books): https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-aut hors-editors/manuscript-preparation/5636. More general information for your camera-ready manuscript preparation can be found in the Manuscript Guidelines and Key Style Points and on the website of Springer.

This Masterclass will explore and problematise the affordances of Virtual Worlds within the theories and methodologies of digital scholarly editing, including the constructing, annotating, reviewing, and evaluating VWs as texts. In the last three decades, computer-based 3D modelling and visualisation in cultural heritage has enabled the (re)construction of artefacts, buildings, and landscapes as a process of producing and sharing knowledge about the past. However, critics have emphasised their ambiguous nature and their high visual stimulus that deceive users into thinking that these are precise accounts of past reality based on material evidence, historical sources, and scientific methods. Over the years, there have been several attempts to illustrate ambiguity and make the process of production more transparent; non-photorealistic rendering, digital annotations, parameterisation, alternative reconstructions, colour coding, different levels of transparency, quantification of uncertainty, and even a series of theoretical principles, such as the London and Seville Charters, have been suggested and/or employed to overcome the problematic nature of 3D modelling in heritage visualisation. Over the past twenty five years there has been an evolving body of scholarship exploring the standards, theories, and methodologies of digital scholarly editing producing an ever-growing body of research exploring what this new medium could bring to the study of the transmission of texts, and thus editorial practice normative to this environment. While much of the emphasis of digital editions has been on texts that can be expressed in machine readable text (either originally in print or manuscript), and their transmission history, the theories and methods informing textual scholarship can be extended to all forms of texts, verbal, visual, or oral. By bringing together scholars from the two fields we will explore a series of theoretical and practical issues pertaining to the creation, annotation, and publication of virtual worlds with the ultimate aim to marry the practices of both communities in the creation of new three-dimensional editions that will address the following: * How do we consider virtual worlds as texts? * What is the textuality of the virtual world? * How do we retain the immersion of virtual worlds while providing comprehensive in-world documentation? * How do we document ambiguity? * How do we make the process of production transparent? * What does an apparatus look like in a virtual world? * If virtual worlds are the new editions, how are they going to be reviewed and evaluated? Participation This MasterClass is aimed at people with experience in the fields of Heritage 3D Modelling and Visualisation and Digital Scholarly Editing. Submissions are especially encouraged from early career researchers with past and current projects that would benefit from knowledge and skills on the creation of virtual worlds as digital scholarly editions. Participants should bring a laptop and should ensure that their projects will be accessible to other participants - either online or by bringing 3D files to the masterclass. The MasterClass will be limited to 12 participants. Preference will be given to applicants whose area of expertise falls under one or more of the topics covered during the Masterclass and those who work or have worked in the past on Digital Scholarly Editions or 3D visualisation projects. The event is open to Irish, European, and international applicants. Accommodation and transportation will be covered for all selected participants up to a maximum of €250 for participants based in the Republic of Ireland and up to €500 for participants outside Ireland. Meals for all days of the event will also be covered. Application Process Please send by the April 19th using the Google Form * CV clearly highlighting the projects related to the theme of the Masterclass * Personal statement outlining the ways that this Masterclass could benefit your current work and research interests All applicants will be notified by April 24th. The Masterclass is funded by Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2017 17:00:21 +0000 From: Jack Kavanagh Subject: Participatory Engagement in Digital Humanities Projects - June 29th - 30th 2017 This two-day masterclass, supported by DARIAH and Humanities at Scale, will explore how participatory engagement is increasingly being considered a key component in the design of digital humanities projects. As a concept and method, it has a wider reach than crowdsourcing, and signals a more collaborative relationship between researchers, the research process, and the community it serves. While this mode of engagement can be empowering and impactful, it also raises a number of concerns: * Identifying the stakeholders; * Ethics and exploitation; * Legal environments; * Resources and project sustainability; * Measuring the impact; * From participation to scholarly output This masterclass will offer a platform for discussion of these ideas bringing together those interested in these topics, as both practitioners and theorists. A goal of this Masterclass will be to arrive at a classification of various forms of participation and knowledge production, providing a window onto the issues of creating and managing a participatory engagement digital humanities projects. Participation This masterclass is aimed individuals who have an active and/or demonstrable interest in public engagement projects and/or citizen science initiatives. Submissions are especially encouraged from early career researchers and from those from European countries the Humanities at Scale project serves. i.e., countries who do not have a strong tradition of digital humanities research. It will be limited to 12 participants. Preference will be given to applicants whose area of expertise falls under one or more of the topics covered during the Masterclass and who are currently working or who have worked in the past on participatory engagement projects. The event is open to Irish, European, and international applicants. Accommodation and transportation will be covered for all selected participants up to a maximum of €250 for participants based in the Republic of Ireland and up to €500 for participants outside Ireland. Meals for all days of the event will also be covered. Application Process Interested applicants should send a current CV and an expression of interest here .

In June of 2018, the Digital Library Federation (DLF) is returning to Canada! We’re excited to announce that planning has begun for DLFxDSHI — a digital libraries + DH unconference, to be hosted in partnership with our friends at the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) in beautiful Victoria, BC, 8-9 June 2018. The event will begin with a joint DHSI and DLF Institute Lecture, poster/digital demo session, and a joint reception on Friday, 8 June 2018. Highly collaborative and interactive DLFx unconference sessions will run throughout the day on Saturday, June 9th, followed by short DHSI workshops on Sunday, June 10th. Stay late to participate in DLFx after the first week of DHSI classes, come early to join us before the second week, visit just for DLFx, or plan to spend a full fortnight expanding your mind and digital library/digital humanities skill sets in an inspiring setting—it’s up to you! And don’t forget that everyone affiliated with a DLF member institution (https://www.diglib.org/members/) gets a significant discount on tuition at DHSI. Registration for DLFxDHSI will open alongside Digital Humanities Summer Institute registration later this year, and DLF will issue a separate call for peer-reviewed poster and demo presentations in early 2018. More about DLF: https://www.diglib.org/ More about DHSI: http://dhsi.org/ This announcement online: https://www.diglib.org/archives/13621/ Look for news of other DLFx events, soon, and we invite you to contact us if you’d like to host a themed digital libraries/archives unconference or event series in collaboration with the Digital Library Federation: info@diglib.org.

This is a friendly reminder that the TEI-C is seeking applications to host the TEI-C annual conference and members’ meeting for 2018 and 2019 (see details below). Since the original Call for Host disseminated, we posted two sample proposals for your review: https://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Call_for_Hosts_Application_and_Guidelines. Applications are due 26 May 2017, and will be reviewed by the members of the TEI-C Board who make the final decisions. Thanks, Michelle On Mar 13, 2017, at 9:55 AM, Dalmau, Michelle Denise > wrote: The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is a consortium which collectively develops and maintains a standard for the representation of texts in digital form. Its chief deliverable is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the humanities, social sciences and linguistics. Since 1994, the TEI Guidelines have been widely used by libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to present texts for online research, teaching, and preservation. In addition to the Guidelines themselves, the Consortium provides a variety of resources and training events for learning TEI, information on projects using the TEI, software developed for or adapted to the TEI, and an annual conference and members’ meeting. In August of 2017, the TEI Consortium and community as a whole will receive the esteemed Antonio Zampolli Prize from the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations. The annual TEI Consortium Members' Meeting and Conference is held every September/October/November, and brings together members of and contributors to the TEI community to share research, showcase tools and techniques as well as provide a report of the state of the TEI-C as part of the Members’ Business Meeting. We are now seeking applications to host the conference and members’ meeting for 2018 and 2019. The meeting this year will take place on the 11th through the 15th of November 2017 at the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. The most recent meetings have been held: * 2016 in Vienna, Austria, hosted by the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities (ACDH) and the Austrian Academy of Sciences from 26th to 30th of September * 2015 in Lyon, France, hosted by the Histoire, archéologie, littératures des mondes chrétiens et musulmans médiévaux (CIHAM) and Histoire et sources des mondes antiques (HISoMA) from 28th to 31st of October * 2014 in Evanston, Illinois, USA, hosted by Northwestern University from 22nd to 24th of October * 2013 in Rome, Italy, hosted by Sapienza Università di Roma and Associazione per l’Informatica Umanistica e la Cultura Digitale from 2nd to 5th of October The TEI-C attempts to ensure that the annual meeting is held in a variety of locations reflecting the distribution of TEI members and TEI-related activities with particular interest in institutions that have not previously hosted a TEI Conference and Members’ Meeting. As the TEI community continues to grow globally, the TEI-C is committed to inclusivity. We are also committed to supporting conference settings that are safe and welcoming to all. Local organizers at the host institution(s) are responsible for providing facilities for all conference-related activities, including pre- and post- events, developing the conference web site, producing a collection of abstracts, organizing a conference dinner, and coordinating appropriate social events. The TEI-C Members’ Meeting and Conference attracts approximately 150 participants and spans 2-4 days, depending on the proposals submitted and the workshops offered. The conference is entirely financed through conference registration fees, a $7,000 USD subvention from the TEI-C, and contributions that the Local Conference Organising Committee is able to obtain from sponsors. The host application requires thorough logistical, fiscal and other information from the prospective meeting host(s) to enable the TEI-C Board of Directors to fully review the applications with special emphasis on: * the level of support and underwriting (financial and logistical) the institution can offer to ensure the success of the meeting. * the venue itself and its suitability for a meeting of this size and type. * the kinds of support the organizers can draw upon locally to ensure the logistical success of the meeting. Additional information about conference expectations and requirements, including detailed information about the application process can be found: http://members.tei-c.org/hosting. Prospective hosts are invited to discuss their plans informally with members of the TEI-C Board of Directors (http://www.tei-c.org/About/board.xml) before submitting an application. We are currently in the process of updating conference protocols, sample proposals, etc. Please contact the Chair of the TEI-C Board, Michelle Dalmau, mdalmau@indiana.edu, about details not covered in the “Hosting a TEI Conference and Members’ Meeting” documentation (http://members.tei-c.org/hosting). Applications are due 26 May 2017, and will be reviewed by the members of the TEI-C Board who make the final decisions. _______________________________________________ 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 C601D8D8C; Wed, 12 Apr 2017 07:24:10 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E7C8D8D88; Wed, 12 Apr 2017 07:24:09 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BEB998D22; Wed, 12 Apr 2017 07:24:07 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170412052407.BEB998D22@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 07:24:07 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.892 pubs: Literary Lab Pamphlet 14 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: <20170412052410.2949.19876@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 892.

Pamphlet 14 is different in this respect, as the entire group is composed of graduate students from the legendary Tartu University in Estonia. One of them, however – Oleg Sobchuk – spent six months at the Literary Lab, becoming so profoundly integrated in our research and discussion, that publishing this essay feels like the most natural thing in the world. After the economic ideology of “Bankspeak”, and the cultural geography of “The Emotions of London”, “Broken Time” is the Literary Lab's first venture into film studies, to be followed in the Fall by a pamphlet on art history: a series of investigations which we hope will contribute to establish a common conceptual ground among the different branches of quantitative cultural history.

NHPRC-Mellon Planning Grants - Call for Proposals DIGITAL EDITION PUBLISHING COOPERATIVES The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation invite proposals for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives. Working together, the Cooperatives will develop technical and human infrastructures to support the digital publication of documentary and scholarly editions and to provide for their long-term preservation, discovery, and use. This initiative responds to the urgent need of scholars and documentary editors for reliable, sustainable, authoritative, and field-driven outlets for publication and discovery of digital editions. At the same time, we hope to investigate the possibility of creating a federated system or systems for publishing and sustaining digital editions. Developing the Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives will be a two-stage process for Planning and Implementation. Up to eight planning grants will provide funds to support the first stage of this multi-year endeavor, beginning no later than February 1, 2018. Each project team will consist of a principal investigator to spearhead the initiative, a lead representative from each of at least three participating editions and the host institution(s). During the Planning stage, each team will develop a proposal for implementing a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative. Planning grants are for one year and up to $100,000. All planning teams would be eligible to apply for Implementation funding. Three implementation grants of between $350,000 and $500,000, each for up to three years, are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $1.25 million. Implementation grants will be awarded in September 2019, with a start date of no later than October 1, 2019. A full description of the program, its outcomes, and a glossary of special terminology, are available at: www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops.

This event is co-organised by CLARIN and DARIAH-IE. Further details: http://ldk2017.org/index.php/text-analytics-digital-humanities-social-sciences-clarin/ https://www.clarin.eu/event/2017/doing-text-analytics-digital-humanities-and-social-sciences-clarin-ldk-tutorial (including link to registration). Where and when This tutorial will take place on 18 June 2017, as part of the preconference programme for LDK 2017, the conference on Language, Data and Knowledge that will take place on 19-20 June 2017 in Galway, Ireland. (See http://ldk2017.org/ for more details). Background and motivation Text is a basic material, a primary data layer, in many areas of Humanities and Social Sciences. If we want to move forward with the agenda that the fields of digital humanities and computational social sciences are projecting, it is vital to bring together the technical areas that deal with automated text processing, and scholars in the humanities and social sciences. Much progress has been made in the last two decades in text analytics, a field that draws on recent advances in computational linguistics, information retrieval and machine learning. By now we know what to expect from basic tools, such as named entity recognition. To foster new areas of research, it is necessary to not only understand what is out there in terms of proven technologies and infrastructures such as CLARIN, but also how the developers of text analytics can work with researchers in the humanities and social sciences to understand the challenges in each other's field better. What are the research questions of the researchers working on the texts? Can answering these questions be supported by computational models (in a non-reductionistic way)? Aims In two lectures, devoted to text analytics applied to the Humanities and the Social Sciences, Dong Nguyen (Alan Turing Institute, UK) and Antal van den Bosch (Meertens Institute and Radboud University, the Netherlands) introduce current challenges and present working solutions. Folgert Karsdorp (Meertens Institute, the Netherlands) then offers an afternoon introductory course on using Python for the humanities and social sciences (bring your own laptop). The tutorial program is concluded with an expert session featuring the three lecturers who will answer specific questions of attendants about the most suitable resources, technologies and methodology for their research. We will be gathering these specific questions beforehand, so that we have an idea of the number of interested people and issues to be discussed, and to be able to think about our answers. If you wish to participate in the expert session, please send a brief description of your questions (optionally with links to papers with background ideas) to antal.van.den.bosch [at] meertens.knaw.nl before June 2 2017. Attendants The tutorial is primarily intended for PhD students, post-docs and younger researchers working in the fields of Digital Humanities and Social Sciences. No programming knowledge is required but basic experience in working with digital text collections is a plus. For the hands-on session please bring your own laptop. -- Dr Justin Tonra Lecturer in English, School of Humanities National University of Ireland Galway --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2017 11:36:10 +0000 From: rambleralderman Subject: BSLS Winter Symposium Dear all, As many of you will know, at the AGM last week BSLS members agreed to trial the Winter Symposium as a postgraduate-led event. It is anticipated that this event would have a specific theme, and might also cover research training and career advice alongside showcasing ongoing research. As always, it is hoped that the event will have a 'non-conference' feel, and include different types of papers, panels, and ways of sharing knowledge. The BSLS Committee will support the conference organisers throughout the process, helping those with little experience to host a successful event. Proposals are invited from postgraduates, and from early career researchers who were recently postgraduates, for a themed one-day event to take place in or about November, to be emailed to Rosalind Alderman (rsaa1e09@soton.ac.uk) by 1 June 2017. Proposals should be no longer than two-sides of A4, and should include a theme and description, details of the organising group and location, potential speakers (if known) and types of papers, panels or other sessions to be included. The BSLS will award up to £500 in support of the symposium, which should be free to attend if possible. Best wishes, Ros Alderman _______________________________________________ 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 D89488DA3; Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:05:48 +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 EE0768DA0; Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:05:46 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 48CD08D95; Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:05:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170414070544.48CD08D95@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 14 Apr 2017 09:05:44 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.895 DH specialist (Gale) 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: <20170414070548.12499.88864@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 895.

Mislaid and then forgotten from 1818 to 1976, this notebook that Percy Bysshe Shelley entrusted to Byron’s friend Scrope Davies was famously discovered in a trunk in the vaults of Barclay Bank at 1, Pall Mall East in London. It is currently held on loan at the British Library. The notebook contains two previously unknown sonnets by Shelley ("Upon the wandering winds” and “To Laughter”) and alternative versions of “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” and “Mont Blanc” (Scene—Pont Pellisier in the vale of Servox). Digital images of these poems with full transcriptions can be accessed independently or in the order of the notebook as a whole, and may be found here: http://shelleygodwinarchive.org/contents/bl_loan_ms_70_08/ Second, we are very pleased to announce the award of a grant from Queen Mary University of London for digitizing the manuscripts of William Godwin’s two greatest works, An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and Caleb Williams, held at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Overseen by renownedGodwin scholar Pamela Clemit, the project is a collaboration among QMUL, the V&A, and the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH). We expect to make these manuscripts available on the Shelley-Godwin Archive by the end of September 2017.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2017 09:07:19 +0200 From: Ken Friedman Subject: Research Request -- Second Request Dear Colleagues, Last week, I posted a request seeking help in finding articles, reports, and documents of any kind on the topics of 1) practice based research, 2) practice led research, 3) practice as research, 4) artistic research, 5) investigative design, and 6) generative research. So far, I have received over 200 contributions. I am grateful to those who have sent them — I’m writing again to request that people who haven’t yet sent documents support this project with material. In working on an article, I discovered that authors use these terms in many different ways. In some cases, the same terms designate very different approaches, methods, or perspectives. In other cases, different terms indicate the same approach, method, or perspective. More confusing still, some of these terms designate approaches, methods, or perspectives that could easily be characterized using standard research terms from the social sciences, natural sciences, humanities, or liberal arts. While artists, designers, architects, composers, or other practitioners of the fine arts or creative arts have done the projects, these could well be projects by researchers in other fields. I seek anything that anyone can send me that has been published in books, journals, reports, or even in the gray literature. I also welcome research documents such as PhD dissertations or theses that exemplify these terms if when the documents contain an explicit method or methodology section that defines terms and methods, When possible, I’d like actual documents in .pdf or MS Word .docx or .doc formats. It is easy to send documents in any standard format by using WeTransfer. WeTransfer hosts a free service that allows users to send up to 20 GB at no cost. It is easy to upload documents, and easy to download them. https://wetransfer.com/ When documents are not accessible, I also welcome links. Please send these directly to me, not to this list. Email to: ken.friedman.sheji@icloud.com As usual, I will compile the documentation that I receive. I will send a complete bibliography to everyone who contributes, and I will make the full collection available to anyone who wishes a copy. I made the first collection available last week, and I will make an updated collection available as soon I I finish organizing it. This project will take two or three months. As with similar projects in the past, I will release the complete bibliography and make the collection available when it is done. If you have materials, I will be deeply grateful for your help.

LOCATION The 6th CLARIN Annual Conference will be held in Budapest, Hungary. IMPORTANT DATES 1st February, 2017 First call published and submission system open 1st May, 2017 Submission deadline 24th June, 2017 Notification of acceptance 1st September, 2017 Final version of extended abstracts due 18th–20th September 2017 CLARIN Annual Conference CONFERENCE AIMS The CLARIN Annual Conference is organised for the Humanities and Social Sciences communities in order to exchange ideas and experiences with the CLARIN infrastructure. This includes its design, construction and operation, the data and services that it contains or should contain, its actual use by researchers, its relation to other infrastructures and projects, and the CLARIN Knowledge Sharing Infrastructure. CONFERENCE TOPICS Operation and use of the CLARIN infrastructure, e.g. Use of the CLARIN infrastructure in humanities research, including needs for updated and new functionality Usability studies and evaluations of CLARIN services Analysis of the CLARIN infrastructure usage, identification of user audience and impact studies Showcases and demonstrators <>Models for the sustainability of the infrastructure, including issues in curation, migration, evolution, financing and cooperation <>Legal and ethical issues in operating the infrastructure Design and construction of the CLARIN infrastructure, e.g. Metadata and concept registries, cataloguing and browsing Persistent identifiers Access, including Single Sign On Authentication and Authorisation Search, including Federated Content Search Web applications, web services, workflows and use of the infrastructure Standards and solutions for interoperability of language resources, tools and services CLARIN Knowledge Infrastructure and Dissemination, e.g. User assistance (helpdesks, user manuals, FAQs) CLARIN portals and outreach to users Videos, screen casts, recorded lectures Researcher training activities Knowledge infrastructure centres CLARIN in relation with other infrastructures and projects, e.g. Relations with other SSH research infrastructures such as DARIAH , CESSDA , etc. Relations with meta-infrastructure projects such as EUDAT and RDA Relations with national and regional initiatives THEMATIC SESSION: Multilingual Processing for Humanities and Social Sciences The Humanities and Social Sciences (H&SS) have formulated research questions pertaining to different languages. However, the number of research tasks in H&SS in which Language Technology has been applied to cross-language barriers and analyse the same phenomena on material expressed in different languages is relatively small. The situation is better in the case of genuine linguistic research, but in multilingual research applications in H&SS are mostly based on a kind of ‘bag of words’ model, and very rarely utilise more advanced multilingual Language Technology methods. The general aim of this thematic session is to present examples of multilingual approaches in H&SS research related to CLARIN, and to discuss infrastructural solutions to the problem of multilingual interoperability of the Language Technology that are necessary for more advanced research in H&SS. We expect to organise presentations and discussions during the session on the following aspects: Examples of applications of Language Technology to multilingual processing for the needs of research in H&SS. Research tasks and ongoing projects in H&SS on the basis of multilingual material and application of Language Technology. Interoperability of language resources and tools for the needs of multilingual applications in H&SS: models for linking, standards and formats, mapping and linking algorithms, complex processing methods, architectures and platforms. We invite submissions describing CLARIN related work addressing these aspects. Submissions (for oral presentations, posters, or demos) intended for the thematic session should be marked as such, and will be evaluated with respect to their appropriateness for the theme, in addition to the general acceptance criteria listed below. PROGRAM The scientific program both of the general sessions and the thematic session will include oral presentations, posters, and demos. There is no difference in quality between oral and poster presentations. Only the appropriateness of the type of communication (more or less interactive) to the content of the paper will be considered. SUBMISSIONS Submission of proposals for oral presentations, poster presentations and/or demos must be extended abstracts (length: up to four A4 pages including references) in PDF format, in accordance with the template provided on the website. It is not required that the authors are or have been directly involved in national or international CLARIN projects, but their work must be clearly related to the CLARIN activities, resources, tools or services. Extended abstracts must be submitted through the EasyChair submission system (link) and will be reviewed by the program committee. All proposals will be reviewed on the basis of both individual criteria and global criteria. The latter include thematic, linguistic and geographical spread. Individual acceptance criteria are the following: Appropriateness: the contribution must pertain to the CLARIN infrastructure (e.g. use CLARIN, contribute to the CLARIN design, construction, operation, exploitation, etc.). In addition, submissions to the thematic session will be selected on the basis of their appropriateness to the theme. Soundness and correctness: the content must be technically and factually correct and methods must be scientifically sound, according to best practice, and preferably evaluated. Meaningful comparison: the abstract must indicate that the author is aware of alternative approaches, if any, and highlight relevant differences. Substance: concrete work and experiences will be preferred over ideas and plans. Impact: contributions with a higher impact on the research community and society at large will be preferred over papers with lower impact. Clarity: the extended abstract must be informative, clear and understandable for the CLARIN audience. Timeliness and novelty: the work must convey relevant new knowledge to the audience at this event. PROCEEDINGS If the submission is accepted, it will be published (possibly in revised form) in the conference Book of Abstracts. After the conference, the author(s) will be invited to submit a full paper (max. 12 pages) to be reviewed according to the same criteria as the abstracts. Accepted full papers will be digitally published in a conference proceedings volume at Linköping University Electronic Press within about 6 months after the conference.

The conference will feature posters, papers and panels. We invite proposals globally on all aspects of digital humanities, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with practices that aim to cross borders, for example, between academic fields, media, languages, cultures, organizations, and so on, as related to the field of digital humanities. As creation of research data -- collection, feature extraction, annotation, and organization -- is a seminal component of all DH projects, means and modes of this data-creation have been handled in various ways as digital approaches have evolved. Recently, the focus on methods of collaborating in data creation has been renewed with the rapid growth of projects that are crowd-sourced on the Web. The re-emergence of data creation based on this approach provides a wider range of data, as it has the potential to include contributors who are not only researchers, but also members of the general public. Such a new possibility should be taken due advantage of, especially given the difficult situation for the humanities fields in the academy. This year we strongly encourage you to submit proposals about methods and problems in collaborative approaches for data collection, especially crowd sourcing and other forms of public engagement. With this as our suggested central focus, we nonetheless welcome papers on a broad range of DH topics. For example: Research issues, including data mining, information design and modeling, software studies, and humanities research enabled through the digital medium; computer-based research and computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural and historical studies, including electronic literature, public humanities, and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship. Some examples might include text analysis, corpora, corpus linguistics, language processing, language learning, and endangered languages; the digital arts, architecture, music, film, theater, new media and related areas; the creation and curation of humanities digital resources; the role of digital humanities in academic curricula; The range of topics covered by Digital Humanities can also be consulted in the journal Digital Scholarship in the Humanities (http://dsh.oxfordjournals.org/), Oxford University Press. Abstracts should be of 500-1000 words in length in English, including title. Please submit abstracts on the open conference system for conference below by May 8, 2017. http://www.jadh.org/confsys/index.php/jadh2017/ Presenters will be notified of acceptance on 31 May 2017. Type of proposals: 1. Poster presentations: Poster presentations may include work-in-progress on any of the topics described above as well as demonstrations of computer technology, software and digital projects. A separate poster session will open the conference, during which time presenters should be on-hand to explain their work, share their ideas with other delegates, and answer questions. Posters will also be on displayed at various times during the conference, and presenters are encouraged to provide material and handouts with more detailed information and URLs. 2. Short papers: Short papers are allocated 10 minutes (plus 5 minutes for questions) and are suitable for describing work-in-progress and reporting on shorter experiments and software and tools in early stages of development. 3. Long papers: Long papers are allocated 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes for questions) and are intended for presenting substantial unpublished research and reporting on significant new digital resources or methodologies. 4. Panels: Panels (90 minutes) are comprised of either: (a) Three long papers on a joint theme. All abstracts should be submitted together with a statement, of approximately 500-1000 words, outlining the session topic and its relevance to current directions in the digital humanities; or (b) A panel of four to six speakers. The panel organizer should submit a 500-1000 words outline of the topic session and its relevance to current directions in the digital humanities as well as an indication from all speakers of their willingness to participate.

URL: https://history.jes.su/issue.2016.3.7.7-51-en * ** “Digital turn” became a professional reality for historians, because new ways of storing, processing, and studying information were included in the everyday toolkit of historical research. No wonder that the problem of the digital turn in history has become one of the main topics of the International Congress of Historical Sciences in 2015. The digitization of historical sources, electronic reference databases and digital existence of historiography are successively changing the historian’s craft. Digital reality has a significant impact on historical research, and it’s time to examine the features of the research practices of historians and to consider the features of digital instruments for analysis and visualization of historical information. For these reasons in the special issue of the journal we decided to examine the role and place of interdisciplinary research area of “цифровая история” [cifrovaja istorija] (digital history, histoire numérique, Geschichte digital, storia digitale, digital historia) in modern historiography and in the wider context of the Digital Humanities. ** ToC === Part I.

Dear Willard, It has been brought to my attention a very recent book published here in Italy. The author, Alberto Contri, argues that McLuhan's motto: 'The medium is the message' has been replaced by another one, that is: 'People are the message'. The work analyses the evolution of communication in the era of the Internet, and points out the risks that virtual reality and related multitasking pose in terms of what Contri defines as 'constant partial attention'. Unfortunately the text is currently available in Italian only, but maybe among the readers of the list there is someone interested in buying and reading it in any case (link: https://www.ibs.it/mcluhan-non-abita-piu-qui-libro-alberto-contri/e/9788833928258 ).

S. Lewis's definition of the 'dangerous sense' of a word, in his fine book, Studies in Words (CUP, 1967). For those who don't have the book to hand, here's the relevant passage: > When a word has several meanings historical circumstances often make > one of them dominant during a particular period. Thus 'station' is > now more likely to mean a railway-station than anything else; > 'evolution', more likely to bear its biological sense than any other. > When I was a boy 'estate' had as its dominant meaning 'land belonging > to a large landowner', but the meaning 'land covered with small > houses' is dominant now. > > The dominant sense of any word lies uppermost in our minds. Wherever > we meet the word, our natural impulse will be to give it that sense. > When this operation results in nonsense, of course, we see our > mistake and try over again. But if it makes tolerable sense our > tendency is to go merrily on. We are often deceived. In an old author > the word may mean something different. I call such senses dangerous > senses because they lure us into misreadings. (pp. 12-13) I've often bent his term to fit circumstances in which we carry over words from human behaviour to computers, sometimes qualifying these words (as in 'artificial intelligence') but sometimes not. Often what I've been getting at is what James C. Bezdek, in "On the relationship between neural networks, pattern recognition and intelligence", calls "seductive semantics": > words or phrases that convey, by being interpreted in their ordinary > (nonscientific) use, a far more profound and substantial meaning > about the performance of an algorithm or computational architecture > than can be easily ascertained from the available theoretical and/or > empirical evidence. Examples of seductive phrases include words such > as neural, self-organizing, machine learning, adaptive, and > cognitive. (p. 87) Bezdek advocates rigour of definition, subject to verification, so that terms can be directly compared to the properties and characteristics of computational models. His call for alertness to such slippage we must heed, of course, terribly difficult though it may be not to be taken in by some high-octane-for-breakfast claimant and, self-seduced, immediately feel stupid about not knowing that e.g. the latest 'machine learning' techniques have finally made one's scepticism obsolete. But in this slippage also gives us something quite revealing, namely the expressions of the desire that fuels so much technological research. We remain sceptical and alert. But what if, as designers or advisers to them, we play along, play a what-if game, assuming that these desires are satisfied in the sort of artificial companions depicted in so many films these days. How, then, would one get to know them? What might we have to learn from them? What disciplines would be the most helpful? Comments?

Their ubiquity since the late 20th century has increased the number and impact of several of the original questions raised by early computer scientists and practitioners: questions about their expected and intended behaviour, as Alan Turing did when asking whether machines can think; questions about their ontology, as John von Neumann did when asking what the computer and the human brain have in common; questions about their role in performing human tasks, as Norbert Wiener did when asking whether automatic translation is possible. With new technologies, the need for rethinking formal and technological issues is crucial. HaPoC conferences aim to bring together researchers exploring the various aspects of the computer from historical or philosophical standpoint. The series aims at an interdisciplinary focus on computing, rooted in historical and philosophical viewpoints. The conference brings together researchers interested in the historical developments of computing, as well as those reflecting on the sociological and philosophical issues springing from the rise and ubiquity of computing machines in the contemporary landscape For HaPoC 2017 we welcome contributions from logicians, philosophers and historians of computing as well as from philosophically aware computer scientists and mathematicians. We also invite contributions on the use of computers in art. As HaPoC conferences aim to provide a platform for interdisciplinary discussions among researchers, contributions stimulating such discussions are preferable. Topics include but are not limited to: - History of computation (computational systems, machines, mechanized reasoning, algorithms and programs, communities of computing and their paradigms,...) - Foundational issues in computer science and computability (models of computability, Church-Turing thesis, formal systems for distributed, cloud and secure computing, semantic theories of programming languages, ...) - Philosophy of computing (computer as brain / mind, epistemological issues, ...) - Computation in the sciences (computer experiments and simulations, computer-aided systems for teaching and research, ...) - Computer and the arts (temporality in digital art; narration in interactive art work, speculative software, programming as a deferred action, computing and affect, performativity of code, eristic of HCI, ...) We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the main topics of the conference to submit a short abstract of approximately 200 words and an extended abstract of at most a 1000 words (references included) Submit through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapoc2017 Deadline for abstracts and extended abstracts: 15 May 2017 Notifications of acceptance: July 2016 Accepted papers will be presented in 30 minute slots including discussion. Abstracts must be written in English. Please note that the format of uploaded files must be in .pdf. Submissions without extended abstract will not be considered. Conference fee: EUR 150, including welcome reception and conference dinner The conference will be preceded by a special workshop on the reception of Hilbert's axiomatic method in Eastern Europe on 3 October 2017, organized by Mate Szabó (see the link in the left column for more details). Accompanying cultural programme will include: the remake of the 1968 Brno exhibition Computer Graphic (featuring Frieder Nake and others), the first computer art exhibition in Eastern Europe, preceding Cybernetic Serendipity by several months, Live coding performance (inspired by the Exhibition Computer Graphic), the concert Exposition of New Music (contemporary music), and field recordings of Brno (student project) Jiří Raclavský - Jana Horáková - Helena Durnová PC chairs --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2017 20:45:50 +0000 (UTC) From: Tom Brughmans Subject: CFP The Connected Past 2017, August 24-25th 2017, Bournemouth University (UK) In-Reply-To: <41ca05507305423b9c0509eeffee210f@EX13-05.utu.fi> Call for papers The Connected Past 2017: : The Future of Past Networks?

Much has happened in these intervening years: applications of network analysis have expanded rapidly; anumber of collected volumes dealing explicitly with network analysis of the past have been published (e.g. The Connected Past, OUP 2016; Special issue of the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory 2015; Network Analysis in Archaeology, OUP 2013); and several dedicated groups of scholars are thriving, including the Connected Past itself which hosted conferences in Paris and London, but also the Historical Network Research group, Res-Hist and others. The Connected Past 2017 will provide an opportunity to take stock of the developments of the past five years and to discuss the future of network research in archaeology and history. How will new network models, methods and thinking shape the ways we study the past? We welcome submissions of abstracts that address the challenges posed by the use of or apply network approaches in historical/archaeological research contexts, welcoming case studies drawn from all periods and places. Topics might include, but are notlimited to:   ●       Missing and incomplete data in archaeological and historical networks ●       Networks,space and place ●       Network change over time ●       What kinds of data can archaeologists and historians use to reconstruct past networks and what kinds of issues ensue? ●       Categories in the past vs categories in our analysis: etic or emic, pre-determined or emergent? ●       Formal network analysis vs qualitative network approaches: pros, cons, potential limitations   Please submit your abstractlimited to 250 words before midnight (GMT) of May 21st 2017 to connectedpast2017@gmail.com    NB. If there is sufficient demand, we will endeavour to organise a crêche for delegates’ children (under 3). An extra fee may be payable for this, although fee-waivers may be available in certain circumstances. Further details would be provided in due course. In order to allow us to assess demand, please let us know in advance if this would be useful for you.   _______________________________________________ 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 19DF58E3B; Fri, 21 Apr 2017 07:58:16 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B91CC8E34; Fri, 21 Apr 2017 07:58:13 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id AE6C68DA1; Fri, 21 Apr 2017 07:58:00 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170421055800.AE6C68DA1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 21 Apr 2017 07:58:00 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.910 going along with the seductive semantics 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: <20170421055816.20566.19578@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 910.

In-Reply-To: <20170420055013.9AD788DD6@digitalhumanities.org> WM, Thankyou for your questions. They always spark a lot of thoughts and long spiels that I have to restrain myself from posting. This casual use of words in relation to a discipline where they have a specific meaning is, as you say, a problem for IT. A philosopher may get excited when they hear the word 'ontology' for example, but is soon disappointed to learn it's just a certain way to organise information for a certain purpose and has little to do with a theory of being in silico. The particular words you mention seem to have most to do with the tantalizing prospect of computers one day becoming in some way 'human' (learning, intelligent, cognitive, etc). As you say these words have specific meanings in IT, and after much debate about 'strong' or 'weak' AI, which we might think of as the difference between 'real' intelligence/cognition/etc and 'simulated' intelligence/cognition/etc, the field seems to have settled on working on 'weak' AI. This owes much to the popularity of the Turing Test, which can only ever be a test for 'weak' AI (and is an unsatisfactory test - just because a street performer once fooled me, as a 12 year old child, into thinking he was a robotic wax dummy, it doesn't mean he really was), and to the remarkable success and usefulness of weak AI (such as in using neural networks, modelled on the functioning of real brains, to do pattern recognition, to categorise images, and many other uses etc). But for me, the prospect of 'real' AI/cognition/semiosis/humanness is what is really interesting. There are a few intractable problems and recurrent fears in IT, which are repeated over and over again in newspaper articles across the century, which are always expected to be realised in just a few years, but which never quite are, though there has been progress over the decades, and more often than not the attempt to achieve these goals spins off into very useful commercialisable by-products. The tantalising prospect that a computer may one day become a mind is present from the very first in Ada Lovelace's famous notes, and like any software developer speaking to their client (a few sobering connotations on 'client' there), she is compelled to quickly point out that the computer, although it can do things resembling what humans can do (such as mathematical operations) it is a machine and limited to what we humans program it to do, and in that it is limited to doing very routine tasks, but that it is none the less extraordinary in that it can do them faster and in much greater volume such that it makes possible things that human minds cannot do alone (see quote below). Since then, the prospect has lead to many impressive simulations of human abilities, playing chess, catching oranges, etc. As we go it is not clear what exactly we mean by 'intelligence' or 'cognition' or more generally what this 'humaness' is that we would like to manifest, but as we try and fail, it becomes clearer that we do or don't mean this or that (eg: being able to play chess is not equivalent to being intelligent). Also, if we can achieve 'intelligence' it might be, as Spock would say, "It's intelligence, Jim, but not as we know it." What is missing from the Turing Test is a convincing theory of what intelligence/cognition/humaness is, and a demonstration that it can be or has been implemented in this material. Flying provides many good analogies for artificial intelligence - flight is a real thing but it's not an object, though it must be instantiated in material, and to do it, you need a good theory about how it happens. This theory is not flight itself and if this thing appears to fly because it's held up by invisible string it's not enough to say it really flies. Quite a few years ago I developed a parsimonious theory of 'real' or 'strong' intelligence/cognition/learning/semiosis. This was very much a matter of 'standing on the shoulders of giants' since all the theoretical components are there, it's just that nobody seems to be putting two and two together, and looking at it the right way round - at least the last time I checked which was some time ago. Usually I find any thought I think original has already been claimed by another, and with so many people in the world, it must happen more and more. In any case despite one day walking through the University carpark realising that I finally understood the connections between thermodynamics, evolution, learning, cognition and semiosis, I never have found time to write it down, as at the time I thought I must be manic, and if I wasn't anyone I made such a claim to would think I was. Since then I've always been too busy working. None the less having conceived such a theory, I can now recommend, at your request, what disciplines would be most helpful: - A good education in philosophy. Many people from sciences, engineering or software, make many assumptions and claims or fail to have insights that would immediately occur to a Philosophy graduate. What even is intelligence and how do you know? What would Aristotle or Derrida say about the robot arm? - A good level of practical skill in software development. Many philosophers would get bogged down in trying to prove whether it is possible or not, again making many assumptions about software, false or naive. Rather the philosopher should realise that many arguments that it can't be done will be instantly refuted by actually doing it. Even if it turns out impossible, by thinking through the attempt, we learn a great deal about philosophy. The approach should be to ask, "If it were possible, how?" - The theory, practical attempts and learning need to be combined in an ongoing feedback loop. (This process is among the things that an intelligent thing would do.) - Thorough reading in AI, and not just the latest thinking. It needs a good understanding of the historical development and successes, failures and changes in theoretical assumptions. - A passing knowledge of theoretical and evolutionary biology. - Basic thermodynamics, to understand the emergence of order, complexity and dynamic systems. - A good understanding of Romanticism, in particular the Shelleys' interest in voltaism, Frankenstein, and the concept of genius. Why does it even occur to us to make artificial intelligence? The importance of this should not be underestimated. In short, to build an artificial human study philosophy, software development, artificial intelligence and its history, theoretical biology, evolution, thermodynamics and romantic poetry. Not a surprising list really is it? "It is desirable to guard against the possibility of exaggerated ideas that might arise as to the powers of the Analytical Engine. In considering any new subject, there is frequently a tendency, first, to overrate what we find to be already interesting or remarkable; and, secondly, by a sort of natural reaction, to undervalue the true state of the case, when we do discover that our notions have surpassed those that were really tenable. The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us in making available what we are already acquainted with." - Ada Lovelace, Sketch of The Analytical Engine Invented by Charles Babbage 1842 http://www.fourmilab.ch/babbage/sketch.html I might add that Lovelace conceived many other points that remain the same in software development such as, "To this it may be replied, that an analysing process must equally have been performed in order to furnish the Analytical Engine with the necessary operative data; and that herein may also lie a possible source of error."

Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 907. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2017 11:02:42 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: seductive semantics Some here will know of C. S. Lewis's definition of the 'dangerous sense' of a word, in his fine book, Studies in Words (CUP, 1967). For those who don't have the book to hand, here's the relevant passage: > When a word has several meanings historical circumstances often make > one of them dominant during a particular period. Thus 'station' is > now more likely to mean a railway-station than anything else; > 'evolution', more likely to bear its biological sense than any other. > When I was a boy 'estate' had as its dominant meaning 'land belonging > to a large landowner', but the meaning 'land covered with small > houses' is dominant now. > > The dominant sense of any word lies uppermost in our minds. Wherever > we meet the word, our natural impulse will be to give it that sense. > When this operation results in nonsense, of course, we see our > mistake and try over again. But if it makes tolerable sense our > tendency is to go merrily on. We are often deceived. In an old author > the word may mean something different. I call such senses dangerous > senses because they lure us into misreadings. (pp. 12-13) I've often bent his term to fit circumstances in which we carry over words from human behaviour to computers, sometimes qualifying these words (as in 'artificial intelligence') but sometimes not. Often what I've been getting at is what James C. Bezdek, in "On the relationship between neural networks, pattern recognition and intelligence", calls "seductive semantics": > words or phrases that convey, by being interpreted in their ordinary > (nonscientific) use, a far more profound and substantial meaning > about the performance of an algorithm or computational architecture > than can be easily ascertained from the available theoretical and/or > empirical evidence. Examples of seductive phrases include words such > as neural, self-organizing, machine learning, adaptive, and > cognitive. (p. 87) Bezdek advocates rigour of definition, subject to verification, so that terms can be directly compared to the properties and characteristics of computational models. His call for alertness to such slippage we must heed, of course, terribly difficult though it may be not to be taken in by some high-octane-for-breakfast claimant and, self-seduced, immediately feel stupid about not knowing that e.g. the latest 'machine learning' techniques have finally made one's scepticism obsolete. But in this slippage also gives us something quite revealing, namely the expressions of the desire that fuels so much technological research. We remain sceptical and alert. But what if, as designers or advisers to them, we play along, play a what-if game, assuming that these desires are satisfied in the sort of artificial companions depicted in so many films these days. How, then, would one get to know them? What might we have to learn from them? What disciplines would be the most helpful? Comments?

In-Reply-To: <20170420055013.9AD788DD6@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Several things. C S Lewis I would dispute Lewis's description of what happens whenever we meet a word, and I wonder if others here would dispute this too? We don't meet each word as it arrives, as Lewis seems to suggest. We accumulate the words as they arrive. Though they may arrive in a serial fashion, via some listening or reading, we quickly start working (unconsciously) with all we have so far, so that, as we might describe it, context and expression and other things influence how particular multiple-meaning words might be taken up in the understanding of what is being said (or written). This does not, of course, avoid mistaken meanings of particular individual words, but, to me at least, it feels more like what happens, unlike ideas of having ordered stacks of meanings for each word, from primary down to less primary, from which we must select the most appropriate on a word-by-word basis as they arrive, which feels very strange. How well the selected meaning of a word works is not somehow like how well each individually fits into the current state of the jigsaw puzzle of understanding. It is, I would suggest, more like how well it makes the whole image of understanding (consciously) look like as we (unconsciously) build it. And, while we're here, nor, I would say, is the production side like a Lewis-ian idea of word selection indexed on individual word meaning stacks. We don't pick words for what they mean, to say what we want to say. We use words that come to hand (or come to mouth) as we try to write (or say) something we want to write (or say). We see (or hear) how these thrown-together words work, to ourselves, and others who also hear or see them, then often change them, so as to write (or say) better what we now realise we want to try to say, and discover how we might say it. And so it goes on, round again, or on to the next thing we want to say, all the time trying to be careful to say to the other what we discover we want to say from trying to say it. If you see what I mean. Words are, I think, (collectively) better thought of as a kind of stuff from which we try to render things we want to say. It's more like forming the clay on the wheel into the shape we discover we can form, and discover we'd like to form. Writing (or speaking) is not, I think, like stringing together words from a dictionary to implement some pre-formed specification of what we want to say. At least, this is how it does and doesn't feels to me. To others, how does it seem? James Bezdek The Bezdek (1992) paper [1] is, I think, much more interesting, and identifies well some important issues often neglected in AI (and similarly, I would say, in other fields too). Given the "feeding frenzy" (Bezdek's nice term) surrounding (so called) Deep Learning these days, this paper is worth re-reading, and not just by AI people; by everybody. (As is usual with interesting things, you don't need to understand it all to get plenty of good things from it. It's OK for words to go by without meanings sometimes.) Another even older AI paper about how we call things, and very much worth re-reading is, I think: Artificial intelligence meets natural stupidity by Drew McDermott, in ACM SIGART Bulletin, Issue 57, April 1976, Pages 4--9. [2] McDermott starts this off saying "As a field, artificial intelligence has always been on the border of respectability, and therefore on the border of crackpottery." The borderline crackpottery seems to have oozed out of AI some, into other parts these days. Like here, for example: "artificial companions." Really? Isn't this more dangerously seductive semantics? With film, as with other fiction making stuff, we can depict almost anything we can imagine, even real human companions made or non-human stuff. But in the films I think you refer to (but don't cite) this term works only as a poor description of what is really portrayed. Take an example. Still one of the best, I suggest. HAL, in 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick and Clarke, 1969). HAL is not a companion to the humans because it doesn't, and can't, engage in human forms of conversation, in which the typical working out of how to say what each conversing human discovers they want to say, happens. The dialogues with HAL are all the (now) typical "computer like" dialogues. And, of course, they were made to be like this by Kubrick and Clarke, because, for Kubrick and Clarke, the kind of ordinary dialogue between human companions was beyond even HAL. For something more like human companionship you need to go for Cyborg type "artificial companions," such as in The Terminator (James Cameron, 1984), or the Replicants in Blade Runner (Ridley Scott, 1982). These aren't just AIs, they are depictions of (full or patched up) human replications. Or, are you happy to call the Samantha, that Theodore Twombly "falls for" in Her (Spike Jonze, 2013), an artificial companion? To sustain the depiction of Samantha as an AI in this film, all the dialogue between it and Twombly has to have a sufficient degree of the stilted "computer-like" feel we now know as "computer talking." Companionship for humans, I submit, is a whole lot more than just being able to talk in a human language. Have we humans really got as far has having companionable conversations with our Siris et al? Or, does it really look like we are on the way there? It doesn't to me. But may be I've been blinded by my AI crackpottery. Best regards, Tim ... Hey, Siri! What's an artificial companion? ...

Transregional studies of objects and bodies have often focused on narratives of circulation and migration. But how does an inclusion of an object or body’s embeddedness in certain geographies and temporal contexts enable new possibilities for research? Does a study of material culture, theorized through conceptions of objects and bodies, confound or confirm regional geographies? This conference seeks to give voice to histories of materiality and embodiment in the Global South, in particular in Africa and Greater Asia broadly defined. This conference thus poses two primary questions. First, how can African and Asian concepts and archives be used to reframe discourses on materiality and embodiment in the Global South? Second, what new optics of research do historical and historiographical questions about materiality and embodiment within the geographies of Greater Asia and Africa enable? Between these framing questions, many more emerge: how does the study of material culture intersect with processes of both circulation and embeddedness? How do materials themselves structure political economies? What are the ways, if any, of recovering histories of materials without the histories of humans? What purposes do materials serve in therapeutics, and how do they shape wellbeing - whether biomedical, physiological, psychological, political, religious, or otherwise? Where does the line between human and material blur, and in what ways can materiality be understood as an extension of embodiment or personhood? The conference aims to facilitate historical and theoretical discussions around these questions.

Hope to see you there at Van Pelt Library on the University of Pennsylvania campus. Please register at the link below: http://libcal.library.upenn.edu/event/3283480 Building a Corpus and Making It Work! In conjunction with the Price Lab for Digital Humanities, the Penn Libraries will be hosting a series of presentations titled, "Building a Corpus and Making it Work!" on the afternoon of Tuesday, May 2. This event focuses on building as well as using corpora in non-Western languages and covers existing and proposed digital corpora, and potential applications. Seven invited speakers will discuss their projects related to East Asian text digitization, manipulation, and analysis.

You have an executive order in the US allowing ISPs (and presumably all SM organizations) to 'monetize' personal data. How does that affect UK citizens? Does the UK DP Act prevent their personal data being exported for a use not intended in its collection? Or will your rights be overturned by a new EULA or T&Cs? In this country, we are prospectively being monitored by ISPs under the IP Act which has taken effect. That's one reason why I occasionally use TOR from within my installed Linux OS (get it from the torproject download) or with TAILS from a usb stick: to frustrate the bastards. Potentially, your HE institution is acting as an ISP and collecting and storing your personal data for a year to surrender to the UK government. What about gross global tax avoidance by, allegedly, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple etc? You are being compelled at your HE institution to be unethical and use those abusive companies. Have you protested or do you go with the flow?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 10:34:11 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: histories of the sciences and the humanities Those here who are interested in the entanglement of the humanities and the sciences, and so the applicability of the term 'sciences' to the humanities, as in the 'human sciences', will be interested in Lorraine Daston and Glenn W. Most, "History of Science and History of Philologies", Isis 106.2: 378-90. They argue that to understand the interrelations, even to see them at all, > The focus on practices is key; by shifting the emphasis from what is > studied to how it is studied, deep commonalities emerge among > disciplines--”and intellectual traditions--”now classified as disparate. Indeed, > current ways of conceptualizing both the history of science and the > history of the humanities have imposed anachronistic divisions among > the great regions of knowledge and thereby obscured commonalities > that are deeper, broader, and more enduring than this or that case > study about specific instances of interaction, influence, or > borrowing would suggest. Since the digital humanities, when not directed outward to the study of effects e.g. in the twittersphere, is centrally concerned with practices or methods of doing scholarship, Daston (an historian of science) and Most (a classicist and historian of philologies) would seem very close allies. One serious impediment to investigating these interrelations remains the persistent allergy to the sciences that debilitates so many in the humanities and impoverishes these disciplines. What is to be done about that? Comments?

Digital Frontiers 2017 will take place September 21-23, 2017, at the University of North Texas in Denton. The program committee of Digital Frontiers invites members of the digital humanities community to propose programs that illustrate the creative and collaborative work that is developing in this exciting field. Program content may cover research and projects involving humanities-related new technologies or tools, re-thinking processes or methods, pioneering approaches, surprising partnerships, previously-untapped audiences, innovative uses of digital humanities resources, or intriguing combinations of these characteristics. Proposals that highlight efforts to promote social justice, to involve under-represented groups, or to engage communities outside the academy will be especially welcomed. The committee encourages contributions from anyone who creates or uses digital collections or tools for humanities work, including scholars, historians, educators, genealogists, archivists, technologists, scientists, librarians, curators, and students. We welcome submissions from local and regional historical and genealogical societies, and anyone working in the public humanities to serve the community of practice with which Digital Frontiers identifies. For complete submission guidelines, view the Call for Proposals.

On Tuesday, May 9th, 2017, join us for a Day of Public Humanities (#DayofPH on the social media platform of your choice). We invite anyone invested in the term “public humanities” to document, discuss, and debate what that term means to them and what the work of public humanities looks like on an average day. Like Day of DH, Day of PH aims to demystify, deconstruct, disrupt, or simply discuss our relationship to a term we frequently use (or perhaps it is a term we find used to describe our own work by other scholars and audiences). Here are three simple ways to get involved: “Showing Your Work”: What are you doing “at work” on May 9th, 2017, and how does that work relate to larger ideas about public humanities? We’re particularly interested in making the labor of public humanities in its varied forms more visible, especially in professional work spaces where time constraints, professional expectations, busy schedules, and other personal and institutional obstacles get in the way of the labor of writing and analyzing our work. We encourage serious as well as playful and creative discussions and demonstrations. We’ve been asking people for their daily to-do lists (and discussing them on our blog ) as a way to get started. #DayofPH on social media: Use the #DayofPH hashtag to introduce your work and its relationship to public humanities, document your “Day in The Life of A Public Humanist,” promote related events and research, network with other public humanists, and respond to questions and prompts from the @DayofPH http://twitter.com/dayofph Twitter account. Other public conversations about public humanities: Do you have any events, panels, or discussions about public humanities or related topics that week? #DayofPH might be an invitation to create a space at your institution, place of employment, or a more informal or “unprofessional” forum and setting. Here at Brown we’ll be hosting a panel on “How to advocate for the arts and humanities,” for example. We have other suggestions on the "Advocacy " page at our site. We hope you can participate in some way, shape, or form! This day is the first of what we hope will be an annual day of conversations about the labor of public humanities in all its forms. Please feel free to get in touch if you’d like to talk more or get involved in some other way! -Jim McGrath, Robyn Schroeder, and Inge Zwart, John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage , Brown University Jim McGrath, Ph.D Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Public Humanities John Nicholas Brown Center for Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage http://www.brown.edu/academics/public-humanities/ Brown University Twitter: @JimMc_Grath http://twitter.com/jimmc_grath _______________________________________________ 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 ECBBB23AF; Tue, 25 Apr 2017 07:33:51 +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 A2E2021E1; Tue, 25 Apr 2017 07:33:50 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8593123A0; Tue, 25 Apr 2017 07:33:46 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170425053346.8593123A0@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 07:33:46 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.920 ethnomusicology & interface design: The Global Jukebox 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: <20170425053351.9605.94694@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 920.

Thanks in large part to the heroic efforts of Alan's daughter, Dr. Anna Lomax Wood, and an extraordinary team of specialists and assistants at the Association for Cultural Equity. Here's the link: http://theglobaljukebox.org/ While in many ways still a work in progress, it contains a wealth of fascinating material that should be of interest to many if not all ethnomusicologists, musicologists, anthropologists and anyone with a serious interest in world music. Currently it is only the musical aspect that's available, with special attention to the "Cantometrics" database developed by Lomax and myself back in the 60's, but it will ultimately make other features of Lomax's performance-style research available as well, including Choreometrics (the comparative study of dance and movement) and Parlometrics (the study of speech-style). One need not have a serious interest in Cantometrics to benefit from the resources made available therein, but for those with an interest in comparative research a very simple and straightforward method of querying the Cantometric database is available (see under the menu titled "Analytics"). I'll call your attention as well to the menu titled "Journeys," to which I've contributed, where specific style distributions are covered in some detail. The heart of the Jukebox is the vast archive of field recordings available at the click of a mouse, a priceless resource that will be of interest to a great many music lovers, regardless of whether or not they intend to use it as a research tool. (Unfortunately, due to constraints stemming from the need to obtain permissions from rights-holders, the recordings are not available for download.) [...] Victor Grauer Pgh.

It is named in honour of Father Roberta Busa, the first pioneer of humanities computing, who in 1949 began experiments in linguistic automation, with the support of the IBM offices in New York and Milan, as part of his analytical research on the writings of Thomas Aquinas. The computational work was central to the thirty years of research whose published output was the 56-volume Index Thomisticus, completed in 1980. The Busa award is given to recognise outstanding lifetime achievements in the application of information and communications technologies to humanities research. The award is given every three years, alternating with other ADHO awards, such as the Zampolli award. The first award was given to Father Busa himself in 1998. Subsequent winners have been John Burrows (2001), Susan Hockey (2004), Wilhelm Ott (2007), Joe Raben (2010), Willard McCarty (2013), and Helen Agüera (2016). The Busa Award Committee invites nominations for the 2019 Prize. Nominations should include a letter outlining the nominee's lifetime achievements and explaining how they constitute an outstanding contribution to the field. A bibliographic list of nominee's work, while not mandatory, would be welcome. Neither nominators nor nominees need be members of ADHO's constituent organisations. Nominations should be emailed to Constance Crompton, Chair of the Busa Awards Committee, at ccrompto@uottawa.ca by October 1, 2017. Nominees will be welcome to submit updates to the nomination in the fall of 2017. The winner will be announced at DH2018 and will receive the award at DH2019. The recipient of the award receives 2000 Euros and is expected to give a keynote or plenary lecture (on a topic of their choice) at the 2019 Digital Humanities conference. ADHO will host the recipient as a guest of honour for the conference at which the Prize is awarded and the lecture given-this means that all travel, accommodation and subsistence costs of the Prize recipient will be paid by the Alliance. --- Hannah L.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 12:31:07 +0100 From: Karolina Badzmierowska Subject: Tutorial Doing text analytics for Digital Humanities and Social Sciences with CLARIN (LDK tutorial) Where and when This tutorial will take place on 18 June 2017, as part of the preconference programme for LDK 2017, the conference on Language, Data and Knowledge that will take place on 19-20 June 2017 in Galway, Ireland. (See http://ldk2017.org/ http://ldk2017.org/ for more details.) The tutorial is co-organized by CLARIN and DARIAH-Ireland . Background and motivation Text is a basic material, a primary data layer, in many areas of humanities and social sciences. If we want to move forward with the agenda that the fields of digital humanities and computational social sciences are projecting, it is vital to bring together the technical areas that deal with automated text processing, and scholars in the humanities and social sciences. Much progress has been made in the last two decades in text analytics, a field that draws on recent advances in computational linguistics, information retrieval and machine learning. By now we know what to expect from basic tools, such as named entity recognition. To foster new areas of research, it is necessary to not only understand what is out there in terms of proven technologies and infrastructures such as CLARIN, but also how the developers of text analytics can work with researchers in the humanities and social sciences to understand the challenges in each other’s field better. What are the research questions of the researchers working on the texts? Can answering these questions be supported by computational models (in a non-reductionistic way)? Aims In two lectures, devoted to text analytics applied to the Humanities and the Social Sciences, Dong Nguyen (Alan Turing Institute, UK) and Antal van den Bosch (Meertens Institute and Radboud University, the Netherlands) introduce current challenges and present working solutions. Folgert Karsdorp (Meertens Institute, the Netherlands) then offers an afternoon introductory course on using Python for the humanities and social sciences (bring your own laptop). The tutorial program is concluded with an expert session featuring the three lecturers who will answer specific questions of attendants about the most suitable resources, technologies and methodology for their research. We will be gathering these specific questions beforehand, so that we have an idea of the number of interested people and issues to be discussed, and to be able to think about our answers. If you wish to participate in the expert session, please send a brief description of your questions (optionally with links to papers with background ideas) to antal.van.den.bosch@meertens.knaw.nl http://antal.van.den.bosch@meertens.knaw.nl/ before June 2 2017. Attendants The tutorial is primarily intended for PhD students, post-docs and younger researchers working in the fields of Digital Humanities and Social Sciences. No programming knowledge is required but basic experience in working with digital text collections is a plus. For the hands-on session please bring your own laptop.

The application deadline is 15th of June 2017. Project description Fundamental changes occurred in the study of nature between the late 15th and 18th centuries, leading to the emergence of natural science as we know it today. This process would have been impossible without Latin as the scientific lingua franca of the era, just as today's science is hard to imagine without English. At present, the crucial role of Latin has been insufficiently acknowledged, and the hundreds of thousands of scientific texts written in Latin have largely remained neglected. This severely limits the scope of research into the history of early modern science, an otherwise thriving field. The present project intends to decisively advance our understanding of the interrelation of Latin and science in early modern times. By applying the methods of Latin philology, yet at the same time reaching out to historians of science, it will establish early modern scientific literature in Latin as an interdisciplinary research field. This will be accomplished (a) by examining and classifying the formal variety and range of content of this literature to create an overall picture (b) by analysing its function as a medium of communication within and beyond the scientific community. To realise the first of these objectives, a tripartite database for authors, early modern texts, and secondary literature will be compiled and a sourcebook with a selection of digitally searchable texts put together, both of which will be made available online. A monograph will provide a general overview structured according to the literary genres of early modern scientific literature in Latin. The second objective will be achieved through a series of interlinked monographs, whose analyses will build on the system of ancient rhetoric, the most important communicative paradigm of the early modern age. On this basis, four key functions of Latin scientific texts will be assessed: naming new phenomena; describing and explaining them; convincing others of the views expressed; promoting science. Context and working conditions Successful applicants will work in a team based in Innsbruck and consisting, besides the principal investigator, of four postdoc (PhD) researchers and one information scientist. Together with the principal investigator, they will work collectively on the database and the digital sourcebook. They will also participate in the organisation of five workshops (one per year). Their main task will however consist in writing an interpretative monograph on one of the four topics mentioned at the end of the project description, which should constitute a second book (or a PhD thesis). Publications should be written primarily in English. Working languages can be English, German, Italian and French. Gross salaries will be at least € 3636,60 and € 2731.– per month (14 times) for postdocs and PhD students respectively. Requirements Candidates must have excellent Latin and experience in Neo-Latin studies. Expertise in the rhetorical tradition and the history of science is requested. For the monograph on naming, a background in linguistics is desired. A degree in the history of science or in the natural sciences will be an additional asset. Candidates must be fluent in English in word and writing. Although this job advertisement is primarily directed at postdocs, exceptionally good PhD students may also apply. Candidates are asked to send their application together with – a CV – a publication list – and a writing sample, but WITHOUT a letter of recommendation by email to Martin Korenjak (martin.korenjak@uibk.ac.at). The application should specify whether the applicant is interested in one specific, several or all of the four posts. For further information, please contact Martin Korenjak. _______________________________________________ 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 DEB1223CD; Wed, 26 Apr 2017 07:20:57 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E5D6623C9; Wed, 26 Apr 2017 07:20:56 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8C06D8EC; Wed, 26 Apr 2017 07:20:54 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170426052054.8C06D8EC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 07:20:54 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.924 events: data journalism; bodies in media; teorie e pratiche 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: <20170426052057.26021.13093@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 924.

Berry and Anders Fagerjord As the twenty-first century unfolds, computers challenge the way in which we think about culture, society and what it is to be human: areas traditionally explored by the humanities. In a world of automation, Big Data, algorithms, Google searches, digital archives, real-time streams and social networks, our use of culture has been changing dramatically. The digital humanities give us powerful theories, methods and tools for exploring new ways of being in a digital age. Berry and Fagerjord provide a compelling guide, exploring the history, intellectual work, key arguments and ideas of this emerging discipline. They also offer an important critique, suggesting ways in which the humanities can be enriched through computing, but also how cultural critique can transform the digital humanities. Digital Humanities will be an essential book for students and researchers in this new field but also related areas, such as media and communications, digital media, sociology, informatics, and the humanities more widely. http://politybooks.com/bookdetail/?isbn=9780745697659 Best David --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 10:21:34 +0000 From: "Bod, Rens" Subject: RE: 30.917 histories of the sciences and the humanities In-Reply-To: <20170425052120.25BEE239C@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, That's indeed a very insightful paper. Maybe it's interesting to add that this paper is part of an Open Access Forum section in Isis 106(2), entitled "The History of Humanities and the History of Science" containing 5 papers that deal with the the entanglement of the humanities and the sciences. See http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/full/10.1086/681993. Best, Rens ________________________________________ Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 917. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > Date: Mon, 24 Apr 2017 10:34:11 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: histories of the sciences and the humanities Those here who are interested in the entanglement of the humanities and the sciences, and so the applicability of the term 'sciences' to the humanities, as in the 'human sciences', will be interested in Lorraine Daston and Glenn W. Most, "History of Science and History of Philologies", Isis 106.2: 378-90. They argue that to understand the interrelations, even to see them at all, > The focus on practices is key; by shifting the emphasis from what is > studied to how it is studied, deep commonalities emerge among > disciplines--”and intellectual traditions--”now classified as disparate. Indeed, > current ways of conceptualizing both the history of science and the > history of the humanities have imposed anachronistic divisions among > the great regions of knowledge and thereby obscured commonalities > that are deeper, broader, and more enduring than this or that case > study about specific instances of interaction, influence, or > borrowing would suggest. Since the digital humanities, when not directed outward to the study of effects e.g. in the twittersphere, is centrally concerned with practices or methods of doing scholarship, Daston (an historian of science) and Most (a classicist and historian of philologies) would seem very close allies. One serious impediment to investigating these interrelations remains the persistent allergy to the sciences that debilitates so many in the humanities and impoverishes these disciplines. What is to be done about that? Comments?

Steven Shapin (Department of the History of Science, Harvard University) Dan Sarewitz (Consortium for Science, Policy and Outcomes, Arizona State University) Conference theme Science and technology are essential ingredients of our humanity. The emergence of fruitful and diverse scholarly perspectives on the history, practice, communication, governance and impacts of scientific knowledge reflects this fact. Yet rapid scientific and technological change has also unsettled the idea of what it means to be human; for example, through new frontiers in physical and cognitive enhancement, shift to knowledge economies, and potential threats to employment from mass automation. These changes take place in a context of broader challenges to expertise and evidence, dramatically illustrated by the EU referendum and the election of Donald Trump. Taking these matters seriously calls for a renewed focus on compassion, benevolence and civilization. This year at Science in Public, we ask: How do science and technology affect what it means to be human? We invite proposals for papers and other interventions from a wide range of disciplines – including STS, history of science, science communication, sociology, law, disability studies, geography, urban studies, development studies – that reflect on this question across a range of topics including, but not limited to: Law, governance and new technologies Responsible research and innovation Political economy of science and technology Gender, science and technology Science policy History of science and technology The citizen in science and technology Race and postcoloniality Dis/ability in science and technology Social, political and scientific imaginaries Science and technology in science fiction Science, art and humanity Public involvement in science and technology Social media as (in)humane technology Human enhancement Robotics Grand challenges to the future of humanity Geographies of science and technology Science and sustainability For further information visit the conference website at: https://sipsheff17.co.uk/ --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 18:58:42 +0000 From: Ian Milligan Subject: CFP: Shaping Humanities Data, Pre-Conference for DH 2017 Digital Humanities 2017 Pre-conference Workshop CFP Shaping Humanities Data: Use, Reuse, and Paths Toward Computationally Amenable Cultural Heritage Collections https://collectionsasdata.github.io/dh2017/ Galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs) have been building digital collections for decades. Approaches developed to provide access to these collections often emulate analog research experiences that focus on supporting single object interactions and features like virtual "page" turners. While approaches of this kind have been very valuable for some kinds of scholarship, researchers and instructors seeking to leverage computation can find it difficult to work with collections developed in this vein. One barrier to developing approaches that better support these researchers is an incomplete understanding of how humanists, among others, are using and reusing cultural heritage data - and what they may need moving forward. Collections as Data https://collectionsasdata.github.io is one of a range of efforts encouraging cultural heritage organizations to develop collections and systems that are more amenable to emerging computational methods and tools. Beyond simply designing-to-fit, the movement towards computationally amenable collections provides an opportunity to reframe, enrich, and/or contextualize collections in a manner that seeks to avoid replication of long standing biases inherent in cultural heritage collection practice. In this day-long Digital Humanities 2017 pre-conference workshop, we aim to engage directly with research and pedagogical practice that draws upon digital collection use. This workshop will ultimately inform the development of recommendations that aim to support cultural heritage community efforts to make collections available as data. Proposals We seek proposals for talks, demonstrations (of projects, collections, tools, datasets, or other work), hands-on instruction, or walk-throughs that explore approaches and issues common to computational creation and/or use, and reuse, of digital collections. Proposals for talks can be brief (10 minutes) or extended (30 minutes). Similarly, proposals for demonstrations and hands-on instruction can be brief (30 minutes) or extended (60 minutes). We encourage submissions from all members of the DH community engaged with cultural heritage collection data, whether using data, preparing and stewarding data, or designing interfaces that enable discovery and access. We are invested in developing a program that reflects the international scope of DH work. Please submit your proposal (300 words) using the online form http://tinyurl.com/mrtsuwn by May 7, 2017 http://airmail.calendar/2017-05-07%2012:00:00%20EDT .

Around the World Web Conference on Digital Media in a Post-Truth Era The Around the World Conference, organized by the Kule Institute for Advanced Study (https://www.ualberta.ca/kule-institute/projects/around-the-world) at the University of Alberta, is an experiment that brings together a research dialogue 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. This year’s conference, Digital Media in a Post-Truth Era, will take place on May 4, 2017, and will feature speakers from the Internet Archive, Maynooth University's Institute for the Humanities, the Digital Humanities Research Group (DHRG) at Western Sydney University, Texas A&M University's Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture, Université de Montréal and the Centre de recherche interuniversitaire sur les humanités numériques, UC Irvine's Film and Media Studies, Fordham University Libraries, Haifa University, University of Malta, and the University of Alberta and University of Alberta Libraries. For more information and the schedule see: http://aroundtheworld.ualberta.ca Why the theme of “Digital Media in a Post-Truth Era”? The unfolding of recent political events in the United States has sparked much debate around ‘fake news,’ disinformation and trustworthiness on the web. We hope to use these developments as a starting point for a broader discussion of how digital media has challenged and/or unsettled our notion of truth. The conference theme of ‘post-truth’ is loosely-defined and we welcome considerations of this topic from a wide range of perspectives: from the algorithmic to the philosophical. We welcome, as well, discussion of ‘post-truth’ as a notion reflecting a certain insularity and how questions of the ‘truthiness’ and the web resonate differently across the world. Watch live at http://aroundtheworld.ualberta.ca and join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #ATW2017! --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2017 17:12:46 +0200 From: Marco BÜCHLER Subject: [2nd Call for participation - DATeCH 2017 (1st & 2nd June 2017 - Göttingen, Germany)] CALL FOR PARTICIPATION What are the Digitisation Days?

Please note that there are some travel grants available and that there also some publication plans, very best wishes, Liesbeth /Third Call for Papers/ 4th International Conference on History and Philosophy of Computing https://hapoc2017.sciencesconf.org/ Masaryk University Brno 4-7 October 2017 held under the auspices of the DHST/DLMPS Commission for the History and Philosophy of Computing (HaPoC) www.hapoc.org http://www.hapoc.org In their societal impact, computers have grown way beyond their roots in mathematics and logic. Their ubiquity since the late 20th century has increased the number and impact of several of the original questions raised by early computer scientists and practitioners: questions about their expected and intended behaviour, as Alan Turing did when asking whether machines can think; questions about their ontology, as John von Neumann did when asking what the computer and the human brain have in common; questions about their role in performing human tasks, as Norbert Wiener did when asking whether automatic translation is possible. With new technologies, the need for rethinking formal and technological issues is crucial. HaPoC conferences aim to bring together researchers exploring the various aspects of the computer from historical or philosophical standpoint. The series aims at an interdisciplinary focus on computing, rooted in historical and philosophical viewpoints. The conference brings together researchers interested in the historical developments of computing, as well as those reflecting on the sociological and philosophical issues springing from the rise and ubiquity of computing machines in the contemporary landscape. For HaPoC 2017 we welcome contributions from logicians, philosophers and historians of computing as well as from philosophically aware computer scientists and mathematicians. We also invite contributions on the use of computers in art. As HaPoC conferences aim to provide a platform for interdisciplinary discussions among researchers, contributions stimulating such discussions are preferable. Topics include but are not limited to: - History of computation (computational systems, machines, mechanized reasoning, algorithms and programs, communities of computing and their paradigms,...) - Foundational issues in computer science and computability (models of computability, Church-Turing thesis, formal systems for distributed, cloud and secure computing, semantic theories of programming languages, ...) - Philosophy of computing (computer as brain / mind, epistemological issues, ...) Computation in the sciences (computer experiments and simulations, computer-aided systems for teaching and research, ...) - Computer and the arts (temporality in digital art; narration in interactive art work, speculative software, programming as a deferred action, computing and affect, performativity of code, eristic of HCI, ...) We cordially invite researchers working in a field relevant to the main topics of the conference to submit a short abstract of approximately 200 words and an extended abstract of at most a 1000 words (references included) Submit through EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=hapoc2017 Deadline for abstracts and extended abstracts: 15 May 2017 Notifications of acceptance: July 2016 Accepted papers will be presented in 30 minute slots including discussion. Abstracts must be written in English. Please note that the format of uploaded files must be in .pdf. Submissions without extended abstract will not be considered. Conference fee: EUR 150, including welcome reception and conference dinner. The conference will be preceded by a special workshop on the reception of Hilbert's axiomatic method in Eastern Europe on 3 October 2017, organized by Mate Szabó. Accompanying cultural programme will include: the remake of the 1968 Brno exhibition Computer Graphic (featuring Frieder Nake and others), Live coding performance (inspired by the Exhibition Computer Graphic), the concert Exposition of New Music (contemporary music), and field recordings of Brno (student project). *NEW* A number of grants will be available. For more details see: https://hapoc2017.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/12 A selection of revised contributions to the Conference will be published in a Special Issue of Philosophy & Technology (Springer). A second special issue focusing on historical aspects will be announced later. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 12:22:51 +0100 From: Mia R Subject: MCG's Museums+Tech 2017 Call for Papers: Tech in a divided world The annual Museums Computer Group Conference 'Museums+Tech 2017' will be held on Friday 3 November 2017 at the Imperial War Museums. This year's theme is 'Tech in a divided world'. Our conference is always a great opportunity to catch up on the latest developments and activities in the sector, and network with colleagues – get the date in the diary and tell your workmates! The conference isn't just for techy and digital folk to share practical skills and experience, it is also a great opportunity for colleagues working across the sector to get a taste of what's happening and start thinking about what might be possible in their institution. As a friendly conference full of interesting people, it's also a fantastic place for people working outside and inside traditional institutions to meet and learn from each other. As well as absorbing insights from peers, Museums+Tech 2017 is a chance to present what you've been working on and share your insights and lessons learned. The call for papers for the conference is now open, and will close on Sunday 30 April 2017 (but there's an unofficial extension to May 3 to allow for the May bank holiday). Find out more about the conference and submit your proposal: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/mcgs-museumstech-2017-first-call-proposals/ The 2017 conference asks whether digital experiences, collections and exhibition can help create a shared understanding of the world. Can museums provide a shared space where those with a range of views recognise themselves, of where the impact of the 'filter bubble' may be reduced – and if so, can digital experiences have the same impact? Proposals for presentation should celebrate good work and share ideas for helping museums do better. We're open to suggestions, but topics might include: The role of digital technologies and platforms - whether social media, mobile apps, websites, gallery guides, publications, podcasts, videos, or virtual or augmented reality experiences - in a divided world How museums have focussed on inclusivity and diverse audiences in its digital offering Behind-the-scenes technical work and organisational change to help reach polarised audiences Tips on applying for funding and working within a limited budget Using digital technologies to break down barriers of physical venues and exhibitions Using digital technologies to connect visitors with each other Reaching audiences that don't think of themselves as museum visitors A bonus themes this year: in 2017 Museums Computer Group celebrates its 35thanniversary, how different are museums in 2017 from museums in 1982 because of digital technologies and practices? The list continues on our website… (http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/mcgs-museumstech-2017-first-call-proposals/) The deadline for proposals is midnight GMT on 30 April - however! Because this is a bank holiday weekend in the UK, you've unofficially got until midnight on May 3 to hit 'submit'... Our international programme committee will review proposals in May and you should hear from us in June. We look forward to hearing everyone's great ideas.

Always already relational, they seem to reflect feminist theories of identity as constructed, performative, multiple, situated, and intersectional. Yet within digital systems, social identities are susceptible to treatments that are at one end of the spectrum highly reductive in their affordances for self-representation and at the other so sophisticated that they exceed the knowledge and control of the human subject. This paper presents work towards digital representations that reflect the complexities of identities and the politics of their representation but that are also machine readable as semantic web or linked data. Despite the challenges, advancing nuanced representations of identities is both practically and politically crucial to how identities circulate in an increasingly mediated world. Dr Jen Ross, Senior Lecturer in Digital Education and Co-Director of the Centre for Research in Digital Education (University of Edinburgh): "Learning with Digital Provocations" Abstract: One of the most significant tensions in the convergence of technology and education is how the promise/threat of 'disruption' comes up against theories, practices and structures of formal and informal education. Disruption in educational technology contexts has come to be aligned with neo-liberal discourses of efficiency, enhancement, personalisation, scale and automation; and we can be forgiven for cynicism about its critical and creative potential in education. This talk aims to reanimate the debate by reframing disruption in terms of inventiveness, provocation, uncertainty and the concept of 'not-yetness'. Focusing on the recent AHRC-funded Artcasting project, and with other examples drawn from the work of the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh, it argues that inventive digital approaches can help us develop critical responses to assumptions about the role of the digital in contexts including higher education, museums and galleries. --- *Programme* 9am Coffee & registration 9.20am Welcome 9.30am Keynote 1: Susan Brown 10.30am Tea/coffee 11am Keynote 2: Jen Ross 12 noon Lunch 1pm Workshops (parallel sessions) 3pm Tea/coffee 3.30pm Closing roundtable 4.15pm Reception 5.30pm Close --- *Workshops* - Bring Your Own Research: A Data and Digital Conundrums Clinic (Lisa Otty) - Building a Digital Presence with Domain of One's Own (Karen Gregory and Stuart Nicol) - Crowdsourcing and Citizen Science for Data Collection and Coding (James Stewart and Eugenia Rodrigues) - From smart to wise copyright contracts: Law for digital humanities, digital humanities for law (Burkhard Shafer) - Introduction to Databases, with MariaDB & Navicat (Bridget Moynihan) - Introduction to Digital Manufacture (Mike Boyd) - Introduction to Network Analysis: Collecting and Visualising Network Data (Gil Viry and Mark Wong) - Introduction to Working on the Command Line (Ben Soares) - Learning to Code with Python (Xavi Rubio-Campillo) - Obtaining and Working with Facebook Data (Simon Yuill) - Processing Sound for Research (Martin Parker) --- *Booking* First, book a place through EventBrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-day-of-ideas-2017-tickets-31961224884 .

The conference will be held at the University of Kent in Canterbury on the 7th and 8th of September 2017. I hope to see many of you there and am very happy to receive abstracts for short papers, from researchers at all career stages. Best regards, Benjamin Vis Digital Humanities on the Inhabited Environment Eastern ARC Digital Humanities Conference 2017 7-8th September 2017, Canterbury, Kent, UK Conference abstract The inhabited environment is crucial to global challenges. Although the humanities enrich our understanding of how human beings adapt their environment, they are underrepresented in global development debates. As the availability of digital data and technology rapidly grows, the opportunities to directly relate humanities research to the social and environmental sciences improves. Notably, in tropical archaeology, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is causing a 'revolution' by revealing huge swaths of urban landscapes. This new data source and the perspectives it affords, are changing the role and relevance of (historical) humanities knowledge in relation to global development. The Digital Humanities (DH) and Geohumanities are emergent fields with increasing resources. They invite exploration of how to harness and nurture interdisciplinary and comparative contributions. By embracing new digital data sources, acquisition, and manipulation techniques, Digital Humanities have the potential to contextualise and inform how current developmental practice is shaping socio-cultural inhabitation of the landscape. Key note confirmed: Kathryn Reese-Taylor (University of Calgary) This conference provides an opportunity for academics from diverse disciplines to discuss these potential contributions as they relate to: -> Mapping Material Landscapes; -> Environmental Humanities; -> Spatial Analysis and the Built Environment; -> Lived experience and Visualisation. Call for Papers We invite expressions of interest for those wanting to participate with short "quick fire" presentations (10 min.) or panelled discussion contributions.

It takes place on June 17, 2017, immediately after CiE. The symposium celebrates the 75th birthday of Prof. Grzegorz Rozenberg, University of Leiden, the Netherlands and University of Colorado at Boulder, USA. Grzegorz Rozenberg is one of the world leaders in research on Theoretical Computer Science and Natural Computing. As a matter of fact, he is often called the guru of Natural Computing, having started promoting it as a coherent scientific discipline already from the 1970s – he gave this area its name and defined its scope. He played a central role in the development of theoretical computer science in Europe. His research is very broad in scope and it is a prime example of interdisciplinary research. He has authored exceptionally many research papers opening new vistas, as well as well-known books about developmental languages, decidability and DNA computing. He supervised numerous Ph.D. students, many of whom have become known scientists. He serves or has served the international computer science community in numerous roles, including: president of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science (EATCS); cofounder and president of the International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and Engineering (ISNSCE); chair of the steering committee of the DNA Computing Conference; cofounder and chair of the steering committee of the International Conference on Application and Theory of Petri Nets; chair of the steering committee of the European Educational Forum; cofounder and chair of the steering committee of the International Conference on Developments in Language Theory; co-chair of the steering committee of the International Conference on Unconventional Computation and Natural Computation; and director of European Molecular Computing Consortium.

EXPLORING STRATEGIES FOR THE DESIGN OF PERSUASIVE VIRTUAL, AUGMENTED AND MIXED REALITY GAMES Tuesday Sept. 18th 2017, at Epochal International Conference Center, Tsukuba, Japan. http://icec2017.net/workshops.html Paper submission deadlines: May 13 (peer-reviewed for inclusion in the ICEC 2017 conference proceedings, 2-4 pages) OR June 9 (non peer-reviewed abstract, hosted on workshop website, 250-500 words) Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Reality technologies are embraced by designers, scholars and charities alike, some primarily for their entertaining properties, others also for the opportunities in education, motivation or persuasion. Applications with the latter objective, that of persuasion, are designed not only to be entertaining, but also hold the intent to shape how players think and feel about issues in reality. However, despite the growing interest in the persuasive opportunities of these immersive technologies, we are at the very forefront and still lack the design strategies and best-practices that could support in the design of these 'immersive persuasive games'. To address this still-unexplored and fragmented design space we organize a design-oriented workshop that brings together academia and industry. The workshop is informed by a Research through Design approach in which the primary focus is to generate knowledge through designing. Participants design and evaluate ideas on-the-spot in an iterative manner using low-fidelity, life-size, prototyping and role-playing techniques, thereby mimicking an embodied interactive immersive environment. By reflecting on design practices and player experiences we construct a body of knowledge, built exemplar work and distill best-practices to formulate design strategies for the design of immersive persuasive games.

In-Reply-To: <20170501091112.AF51E2C84@digitalhumanities.org> Hey John, Dealing with data at that scale you need to start looking at Python and R -- I don't know of any systems with a GUI that can handle that scale. Though, have you tried the standalone version of Voyant? I've had some success scaling with that on my own Tomcat. You may need to look into frameworks for distributed processing, though that would depend on what you mean by "thousands". An example would be Hadoop, but there are a lot out there.

The challenge in such modules is to introduce students with a background in humanities or social sciences to technical content without going into detail. NLP tools often require special input formats, knowledge of program options, and post-processing of the output. NLP resources are often not easily accessible and provide only limited interaction. Interfaces and search tools require knowledge of specialized search syntax. The workshop is intended to provide a forum for such “NLP teachers” to share experiences, discuss best practices, introduce teaching concepts, and present demos of existing technology. It also provides an opportunity for DH researchers to express their needs and provide directions for future DH curricular developments. The workshop is intended to foster collaborations and to cross-fertilize knowledge and approaches across DH disciplines. Teach4DH is co-organized by GSCL's SIG Education and Profession. WORKSHOP TOPICS ======================= We welcome submissions of long and short papers, posters, and demonstrations relating to any aspect of teaching NLP in DH classes, including: - Didactic units / concepts / tools for employing NLP in teaching "on stage" - Challenges in teaching for a non-CL audience - Exploiting NLP tools "behind the scenes" for creating didactic DH material - Curricular considerations in developing standards for DH programs See the website at https://teach4dh.github.io for more details, including submission instructions.

Thinking about this, I thought it might be helpful to share the information and sources more widely. Follow the links to the free-for-download resources. For the books, I provide links to Amazon. If the prices seem high, you can order them used or ask your library to order copies. IMHO, every doctoral supervisor ought to have these books within easy reach. A few years back, Eric Arnould wrote a helpful article on “Getting a Manuscript to Publication Standard” that was reprinted in the first issue of Design Research Quarterly: https://www.academia.edu/32760936 You’ll find my thoughts in the PowerPoint deck for the Research Writing Workshop. This includes information on how to write well, and it includes a discussion of issues to consider in writing a journal article: https://www.academia.edu/2953871 Two books are especially useful when it comes to writing well in English. IMHO, Strunk & White’s Elements of Style remains the classic on writing narrative prose. Chapters I, II, and V discuss usage, form, and style. Chapters III and IV discuss minor points. While chapters III and IV are rule-driven, the book as a whole is driven by style and clarity. You can read it in an hour. https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourth-William-Strunk/dp/020530902X https://www.amazon.co.uk/Elements-Style-William-Strunk-Jr/dp/020530902X People sometimes describe Strunk & White as a fussy rule-book of writing — based, in part, on chapters III and IV. That’s a mistake. The book focuses on effective prose style for clear communication. Strunk & White takes only an hour or so to read, so it is easy to use. (I cover the main points in the Research Writing Workshop slides.) I read this book once a year, and I learn something new and useful each time I read it. The real pain of writing comes in writing. Dorothy Parker once wrote, “If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers, the second-greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of ‘The Elements of Style.’ The first-greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while they’re happy.” Those who want to focus on academic, scholarly, and scientific writing do well to read Helen Sword’s (2012) https://www.amazon.com/Stylish-Academic-Writing-Helen-Sword/dp/0674064488 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Stylish-Academic-Writing-Helen-Sword/dp/0674064488 One thing that writers rarely consider is how editors and reviewers look at articles. Two books offer an excellent overview of these issues. One is Baruch, Konrad, Aguinis, & Starbuck's (2008) Opening the Black Box of Editorship: https://www.amazon.com/Opening-Black-Box-Editorship-Baruch/dp/0230013600 https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Opening-Black-Editorship-Yehuda-Baruch/0230013600 Cummings & Frost's (1995) Publishing in the Organizational Sciences discusses many of the challenges that author’s face — and it gives a view from reviewers as well. https://www.amazon.com/Publishing-Organizational-Sciences-Foundations-Science/dp/0803971451 https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Publishing-Organizational-Sciences-Foundations-Science/0803971451 Frost & Taylor (1996) discuss another aspect of writing in Rhythms of Academic Life. While some of the material in this book seems outdated in the era of the managerial university, it remains a serious and interesting work: https://www.amazon.com/Rhythms-Academic-Life-Foundations-Organizational-ebook/dp/B017NXIQC0 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Rhythms-Academic-Life-Foundations-Organizational/dp/0803972636 Sternberg’s (2000) Guide to Publishing in Psychology Journals is one of the best overall guides to every aspect and phase of the overall publishing process: https://www.amazon.com/Publishing-Psychology-Journals-Robert-Sternberg/dp/052159460X https://www.amazon.co.uk/Publishing-Psychology-Journals-Robert-Sternberg/dp/052159460X Good referencing is one of the key issues in effective scholarly and scientific writing. Dorothy Harris used to have a slogan: “Be true to your sources and your sources will be true to you.” Good references are more than a finicky way to avoid plagiarism. Solid citations provide the evidence on which most articles rely. They are therefore a key tool for reviewers. More important, careful referencing helps authors to write better articles. In addition to the chapter in Robert Sternberg’s guide, I suggest three useful guides on reference and citation. Friedman (2017) and Himmelfarb (1991) are short and informative. Grafton (2003) is long, historical, and extremely entertaining https://www.academia.edu/32742678 http://msa.maryland.gov/ecp/10/214/html/0003.html https://www.amazon.com/Footnote-Curious-History-Anthony-Grafton/dp/0674307607 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Footnote-Curious-Prof-Anthony-Grafton-x/dp/0571196012 Fowler & Aaron's (2016) Little, Brown Handbook is an essential reference book. Be warned: this book contains too many details to read, and no one can actually read it. Its value lies in the answers it provides to nearly every question you might have about academic, scholarly, or scientific writing. I suggest reading the Preface, the Table of Contents, and the three-page guide at the back. Then, when you have a specific question, use the book for advice. https://www.amazon.com/Little-Brown-Handbook-13th/dp/0321988272 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Handbook-Update-Ramsey-2016-08-01/dp/B01MU4KWS5 I’ll round this off with two books. Clifford Geertz’s (1998) Works and Lives is a book about anthropological writing — how writers create a voice and a persona, and how their works influence their domain. Geertz himself is a lucid and entertaining writer, the creator of the approach to social science known as “thick description.” This book is entertaining, lucid, and useful: https://www.amazon.com/Works-Lives-Anthropologist-as-Author/dp/0745607594 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Works-Lives-Anthropologist-Clifford-1998-09-04/dp/B01FEPWUX0 Gordon Wood's (2008) Purpose of the Past offers a collection of Wood’s book reviews of books on American history by a great historian and historiographer. Reading this book offers a view of how writers address the problems within a field, and how they address the field and drive it forward in doing so. Wood himself is an elegant writer. After a long day of editing and reviewing articles, I sometimes like to read Gordon Wood to relax. https://www.amazon.com/Purpose-Past-Reflections-Uses-History/dp/0143115049 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Purpose-Past-Reflections-Uses-History/dp/0143115049 With the academic year coming to an end in many places, it is time for many of us to read, to reflect, and possible even to write.

Below I include David's response, which quotes the passage in question most fully and reminds us that he wrote a book on the story. It came to mind when I began to ponder what it would be like to be an artificial intelligence. At its present state of development, such an intelligence would hardly equal Golding's Neanderthal, but that sort of imagining gives one an idea of what it would be like. But why would one wish to indulge in such speculation? It turns out that there is a powerful movement within anthropology to develop theory around participant-observational imagining of ontologies other than our own and re-forming the discipline accordingly. (See, for example, Amiria Salmond, "Transforming translations", Hau 3.3 [2013] and 4.1 [2014], at https://www.haujournal.org/.) What might we learn by doing that, as a thought-experiment, even now? One might say this is how a good programmer works in any case. But I wonder if we take his or her imagining a real-world problem as the computer 'sees' it seriously enough, i.e. scientifically, reflectively? Comments?

Hoover" Subject: Re: 30.940 a sound but no words for it? In-Reply-To: <20170502112713.8E1832DCE@digitalhumanities.org> What you want, Willard, is William Golding's wonderful second novel, The Inheritors, the subject of my book, Language and Style in The Inheritors. The passage you mention is this one, I think: The man turned sideways in the bushes and looked at Lok along his shoulder. A stick rose upright and there was a lump of bone in the middle. Lok peered at the stick and the lump of bone and the small eyes in the bone things over the face. Suddenly Lok understood that the man was holding the stick out to him but neither he nor Lok could reach across the river. He would have laughed if it were not for the echo of the screaming in his head. The stick began to grow shorter at both ends. Then it shot out to full length again. The dead tree by LokÂ’s ear acquired a voice. “Clop!” His ears twitched and he turned to the tree. By his face there had grown a twig: a twig that smelt of other, and of goose, and of the bitter berries that LokÂ’s stomach told him he must not eat. (106) One of the main sound issues is the Neanderthal perception of the sounds of the speech of the more modern humans. Stanley Fish famously claimed that "The Stick began to grow shorter at both ends." is not a particularly strange sentence. To see how wrong he was, try doing a web search on the sentence.

Do you have questions about pulling together a planning team for the NHPRC-Mellon Digital Editions Planning Cooperatives initiative? Have questions about the application process? We’d like to hear from you! Contact Darrell Meadows, NHPRC Director for Publishing, at (202) 357-5321 or darrell.meadows@nara.gov. NHPRC-Mellon Planning Grants - Call for Proposals DIGITAL EDITION PUBLISHING COOPERATIVES The National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation invite proposals for Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives. Working together, the Cooperatives will develop technical and human infrastructures to support the digital publication of documentary and scholarly editions and to provide for their long-term preservation, discovery, and use. This initiative responds to the urgent need of scholars and documentary editors for reliable, sustainable, authoritative, and field-driven outlets for publication and discovery of digital editions. At the same time, we hope to investigate the possibility of creating a federated system or systems for publishing and sustaining digital editions. Developing the Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives will be a two-stage process for Planning and Implementation. Up to eight planning grants will provide funds to support the first stage of this multi-year endeavor, beginning no later than February 1, 2018. Each project team will consist of a principal investigator to spearhead the initiative, a lead representative from each of at least three participating editions and the host institution(s). During the Planning stage, each team will develop a proposal for implementing a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative. Planning grants are for one year and up to $100,000. All planning teams would be eligible to apply for Implementation funding. Three implementation grants of between $350,000 and $500,000, each for up to three years, are expected to be awarded, for a total of up to $1.25 million. Implementation grants will be awarded in September 2019, with a start date of no later than October 1, 2019. A full description of the program, its outcomes, and a glossary of special terminology, are available at:www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/publishingcoops.

In particular, we seek innovative approaches and examples of digital storytelling that address questions related to democratizing DH practices, communicating knowledge and research, and representing underrepresented languages, places and peoples. Storytelling is fundamental to human experience and used for creative expression, communication, and self-conception at the personal, community, and international levels. Narratives and stories represent how we understand the world and provide the matrix in which arguments cohere. Digital media hardware and software have expanded the forums and techniques available for the creation and reception of compelling narratives and have encouraged new literacies and approaches to narrative form and function. Digital stories may engage audiences across various media in a multi-modal ways, encourage new forms of interaction with data and code, and take advantage of the interactive possibilities of the Web and mobile platforms. Some digital stories interweave the affordances of digital media with storytelling practices and poetics to produce co-created, algorithmic, location-based, and non-linear narratives. Other digital stories take advantage of the proliferation of digital networks to tell personal or untold stories or to communicate complex knowledge about human experiences in immediate and interactive ways. === We welcome proposals for * paper/research presentations (approx. 20 minute presentations); * panel or discussion sessions (30-60 minutes, with multiple participants); * workshops on digital storytelling tools, platforms, methods and pedagogy (1 - 3 hour sessions); * creative works of digital storytelling that may be displayed as part of an exhibition session. === Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: * The connection between digital storytelling, knowledge production, and humanities scholarship; * How can digital storytelling facilitate telling stories of underrepresented languages, places and people; * Innovative examples of Indigenous and minoritized stories, multilingual and non-English language stories, and local and regional histories; * Digital storytelling for public humanities and civic engagement; * Digital stories for scholarly communication and broader impact initiatives (including communicating your scholarship to wide audiences in new ways); * Digital storytelling within museums, cultural institutions, or exhibition spaces; * Ethics and best practices in digital storytelling; * Storytelling with open datasets; * Techniques, successes/failures, case studies and impact stories of digital storytelling; * Methods and genres, including oral histories, podcasting, locative media, multimedia & transmedia narratives, social media, video games, computational narratives, data visualization, electronic literature and others; * Maps as stories and/or mapping stories; * Tools and platforms for digital storytelling including innovations in virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D modeling, artificial intelligence, or other emerging technologies; * Innovations in expanded media, creative or artistic works. === Students are encouraged to apply. Top student submissions, as determined by the program committee, will receive a modest monetary stipend and will be featured in a Student Showcase session during the Forum. === Please submit a 500-word maximum abstract of your proposed session by June 15, 2017.

Mellon Foundation, will host its fourth annual digital scholarship conference (#BUDSC17) from October 6th-8th. The theme of the conference is “Looking Forward, Looking Back: The Evolution of Digital Scholarship.” - What can different disciplines learn from each other when it comes to adopting or using digital tools? - What is the role of innovation in digital scholarship? Who is being innovative? - How is digital scholarship rewarded in, or beyond, academia? - How can we foster communication across intellectual disciplines and administrative units? - How is digital scholarship made? Who produces it? Who is excluded and who is included? - Where is digital scholarship published, promoted, and publicized? Is the message reaching the audience it deserves? - How is digital scholarship incorporated into the existing conversations of traditional scholarship? - What are the resources for sustaining digital scholarship? How are those resources going to change in the future? Can digital scholarship be done inexpensively without sacrificing quality? - Does digital scholarship have a responsibility to be open or engaged beyond the academy? How are these different responsibilities defined and grappled with? - Should digital scholarship be defined? Where should a definition of digital scholarship begin? What ends should it be directed toward? #BUDSC17 is committed to expanding the definition of digital scholarship to be more inclusive across diverse communities, both inside and outside of academia. The conference will bring together a broad community of practitioners--faculty, researchers, librarians, artists, educational technologists, students, administrators, and others--engaged in digital scholarship both in research and teaching who share an interest in the evolution of digital scholarship. The theme “Looking Forward, Looking Back: The Evolution of Digital Scholarship” acknowledges the changes to scholarship wrought by the introduction of digital technologies across the disciplines. Now is an apt time to reflect upon how digital scholarship has evolved over the past decades and where it may head in the future. Scholars and teachers, poets and administrators, artists and community members, are encouraged to reflect on the past of digital scholarship and work together to build a future for digital scholarship. 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 digital scholarship has been done in the past and how it may change in the future. Presentations may take the form of interactive presentations, project demos, electronic posters, panel discussions, work-in-progress sessions, workshops, lightning talks, or other creative formats. We look forward to building on the success of the last three years, in which we came together to discuss challenges, share working models, reflect on projects, and inspire new avenues for actively including students in public scholarly pursuits.

Reflections of HAL and Samantha By Tillmann Video: 6m18s A conversation about emotions between the two most iconic operating systems in film history: HAL from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and Samantha from "Her" (2013). 2 channel video installation stereo sound required Stanley Kubrick and Spike Jonze pictured their artificial main characters as voice recognition and speech synthesis operating systems. Unlike the robots in other science fiction movies, HAL and Samantha are conceptualized without the need of a physical body. In both movies, the machine learning process allows the AI to gain consciousness and independence from human input. Composed of original lines from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968) and "Her" (2013), the mashup creates a new context to the words of the electronic protagonists. The two operating systems are in conflict; while Samantha is convinced that the overwhelming and sometimes hurtful process of her learning algorithm improves the complexity of her emotions, HAL is consequentially interpreting them as errors in human programming and analyses the estimated malfunction. Their conversation is an emotional roller coaster which reflects upon the relation between machines and emotion processing and addresses the enigmatic question of the authenticity of feelings. "Are these feelings even real? Or are they just programming?" -- Samantha (Her) This too may be of help, but probably you know it already. What is it like to be a bat? By Thomas Nagel The Philosophical Review LXXXIII, 4 (October 1974): 435-50. http://organizations.utep.edu/Portals/1475/nagel_bat.pdf Dan Dennett described this as "the most widely cited and influential thought experiment about consciousness," despite largely disagreeing with Nagel on most things. For me, being is essential for being anything, so before pondering "what is it like to be" questions, I'd first ask for what it takes for an AI to be a real being? My guess is it needs something very like full blown living, thus, minimally, something well described by Maturana and Varela's Autopoiesis. See "Autopoiesis and Cognition: the Realization of the Living" (1st edition 1973, 2nd 1980). Being by attribution doesn't count, I think.

The Conference on Complex System will takes place this year in Cancun, Mexico, from the 17th to the 22nd of September. Our session will take pace on the 21st of September. Human sociocultural evolution has been documented throughout the history of humans and earlier hominins. This evolution manifests itself through development from tools as simple as a rock used to break nuts, to something as complex as a spaceship able to land man on other planets. Equally, we have witnessed evolution of human population towards complex multilevel social organisation.Although cases of decrease and loss of this type of complexity have been reported, in global terms it tends to increase with time. Despite its significance, the conditions and the factors driving this increase are still poorly understood and subject to debate. Different hypothesis trying to explain the rise of sociocultural complexity in human societies have been proposed (demographic factor, cognitive component, historical contingency…) but so far no consensus has been reached.Here we raise a number of questions: - Can we better define sociocultural complexity and confirm its general tendency to increase over the course of human history? - What are the main factors enabling an increase of cultural complexity? - Are there reliable way to measure the complexity in material culture and social organisation constructs, that is? - How can we quantify and compare the impact of different factors? - What causes a loss of cultural complexity in a society? And how often these losses occurred in the past? In this satellite meeting we want to bring together a community of researchers coming from different scientific domains and interested in different aspect of the evolution of social and cultural complexity. From archaeologists, to linguists, social scientists, historians and artificial intelligence specialists - the topic of sociocultural complexity transgresses traditional discipline boundaries. We want to establish and promote a constructive dialogue incorporating different perspectives: theoretical as well as empirical approaches, research based on historical and archaeological sources, as well as actual evidences and contemporary theories. Submissions will be made by sending an abstract in PDF  (maximum 250 words) via Easychair here: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eec2017 . The deadline for abstract submission is on the 26th of May 2017. The contributions to this satellite will be evaluated by the scientific committee through a peer review process that will evaluate the scientific quality and the relevance to the goal of this session. Notification of accepted abstracts will be communicated by the 4th of June 2017. Please find more details on the following website: https://ccs17.bsc.es/ We strongly encourage you to participate   Please help us to spread the word! on behalf of the organisers, Iza Romanowska --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 12:19:30 +0100 From: Gabriel BODARD Subject: Invitation: Open Epigraphic Data Unconference, London, May 15, 2017 Open Epigraphic Data Unconference 10:00–17:00, May 15, 2017, Institute of Classical Studies This one-day workshop, or “unconference,” brings together scholars, historians and data scientists with a shared interest in classical epigraphic data. The event involves no speakers or set programme of presentations, but rather a loose agenda, to be further refined in advance or on the day, which is to use, exploit, transform and “mash-up” with other sources the Open Data recently made available by the Epigraphic Database Heidelberg under a Creative Commons license. Both present and remote participants with programming and data-processing experience, and those with an interest in discussing and planning data manipulation and aggregation at a higher level, are welcomed. Places at the event in London are limited; please contact if you would like to register to attend. There will also be a Google Hangout opened on the day, for participants who are not able to attend in person. We hope this event will only be the beginning of a longer conversation and project to exploit and disseminate this invaluable epigraphic dataset. * Unconference "programme": https://goo.gl/COFjWP * EDH data repo: http://edh-www.adw.uni-heidelberg.de/data/ -- Dr Gabriel BODARD Reader in Digital Classics Institute of Classical Studies University of London Senate House Malet Street London WC1E 7HU E: gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk T: +44 (0)20 78628752 http://digitalclassicist.org/ --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 May 2017 14:40:08 -0400 From: Nancy Ide Subject: EUROLAN 2017: First call for participation EUROLAN-2017 SUMMER SCHOOL ON BIOMEDICAL TEXT PROCESSING The 13th in the series of EUROLAN Schools 10 – 17 September 2017, Constanța, Romania http://eurolan.info.uaic.ro/2017/ Overview ======== Biomedical Text Mining (BioNLP) applies natural language processing (NLP) techniques to identify and extract information from scientific publications in biology, medicine, and chemistry, in order to discover novel knowledge that can contribute to biomedical research.The growth of BioNLP over the past fifteen years is due in large part to the availability of web-based publication databases such as PubMed and Web of Science coupled with increasing access to anonymized electronic medical/health records. The large size of the biomedical literature and its rapid growth in recent years make literature search and information access a demanding task. Health-care professionals in the clinical domain face a similar problem of information explosion when dealing with the ever-increasing body of available medical/health records in electronic form. Beyond merely identifying texts relevant to a particular interest, BioNLP applies sophisticated NLP information extraction (IE) technologies (e.g., event extraction or entity-relation extraction) to identify and analyze text segments to produce information about, or even models, of phenomena such as drug or protein interactions, gene relations, temporal relations in clinical records, biological processes, etc. Overall, the application of automatic NLP techniques to unstructured text in scientific literature and medical records enables life scientists to both find and exploit this data without the significant effort of manual searching and researching. EUROLAN-2017 has engaged several well-known researchers in the fields of BioNLP and NLP to provide a comprehensive overview of language processing models and techniques applicable to the biomedical domain, ranging from an introduction to fundamental NLP technologies to the study of use cases and exploitation of available tools and frameworks that support BioNLP. Each tutorial is accompanied by one or two hands-on sessions, in which participants will use text mining tools to explore and exploit several varieties of biomedical language resources, including cloud-based repositories of scientific publications, annotated biomedical corpora, databases and ontologies of biomedical terms, etc. The topics covered in the tutorials and hands-on sessions include: • mining biomedical literature • entity identification and normalization • conceptual graphs extracted from medical texts • annotation of semantic content, with applications in medicine and biology • medical search engines • deep learning for bioinformatics • biomedical question/answering • clinical data repositories • big data and cloud computing in relation with biomedical textual data • clinical relationships • medical topic modeling • medical language systems • clinical text analysis • text summarization in the biomedical domain • event-based text mining for biology and related fields • event extraction in medical texts Invited Lecturers ================= • Mihaela Breabăn – “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași (Romania) • Kevin Cohen – U.

The Dutch collector Leo Haks was responsible for assembling a number of different archives during his career. The Haks collection of Balinese paintings has been used as one of the bases of a Virtual Museum of Balinese Painting that I have constructed. Both of these archives show how the ordering of images and demonstration of relationships between them reconfigures and remaps our understandings of agency and connections in Indonesian colonial and post-colonial contexts. Such arrangements of images of paintings demonstrate the utility of digital tools in research. Bio: Professor Vickers researches and publishes on the cultural history of Southeast Asia. His research utilises expertise in the Indonesian language as well as drawing on sources in Balinese, Kawi (Old and Middle Javanese) and Dutch. He has held a series of Australian Research Council grants (Discovery and Linkage), the most recent looking at modern and contemporary Indonesian art, Cold War history, and labour and industry in Southeast Asia. As part of a linkage grant on the history of Balinese painting, he is preparing a virtual museum, continuing previous pioneering work in eResearch and teaching. His books include the highly popular Bali: A Paradise Created (2012), The Pearl Frontier: Indonesian Labor and Indigenous Encounters in Australia's Northern Trading Network (2015, with Dr Julia Mart'nez, funded by an ARC Discovery Project Grant) - winner of the 2016 Northern Territory Chief Minister’s History Book Award, A History of Modern Indonesia (2013) and Balinese Art: Paintings and Drawings of Bali, 1800-2010 (2012).

Peirce, “Thought is not necessarily connected with a brain. It appears in the work of bees, of crystals, and throughout the purely physical world”. In this research we assume that thought, and so knowledge, arises through an interpretation of phenomena and ask what type of process is involved. To this end, on the basis of a theory of cognition and a Peircean theory of signs, we introduce a process model of interpretation and show the existence of a relation of our model with Platonic solids and the golden section. The model’s relation with syllogistic, hence the possibility of a relation between phenomena and reasoning, implies that knowledge can be inevitable. A conclusion of this research is that interpretation can be modelled by a type of process, representing phenomena from different perspectives, including logic and language (e.g., syntax). This process is based on Peirce’s sign aspects, and in turn, his categories, that govern the formation of knowledge. Nature is interpreting and, through our thoughts, we are interpreting nature. === Biography === J.J. Sarbo (http://www.cs.ru.nl/~janos/) is affiliated with Radboud University, Institute for Computing and Information Systems (ICIS), Nijmegen, The Netherlands. His book (http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783642170881) on a semiotically inspired model of knowledge representation has been published by Springer, in 2011.

Some philosophers have challenged it, however, and for good reason." Later he writes "Nagel claims that no amount of third-person knowledge could tell us what it is like to be a bat, and I flatly deny that claim." So it seems he disagrees with Nagel about this thing among the "most things". -ken kahn _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id D6CBE300F; Fri, 5 May 2017 07:20:07 +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 DCCBE2FBD; Fri, 5 May 2017 07:20:06 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6DD7424E2; Fri, 5 May 2017 07:20:03 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20170505052003.6DD7424E2@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 5 May 2017 07:20:03 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.949 training materials and course outlines?

Part of this work also includes investigating ways in which the materials we produce can be most effectively embedded into a higher education curricula. We would be very grateful if those members of the Humanist mailing list who are either *engaged in training in Digital Humanities*, or *provide courses and training in DH* would take the time to complete a short questionnaire. This will help us make our materials more useful for those working in or studying a DH training course (at any level). This should take no more than 5 minutes. Your responses will be very valuable to us as we plan the next phase of the PARTHENOS developments. You can find the questionnaire here: https://goo.gl/forms/yQUiWQlJS4N0cone2 Many thanks in advance for your time.

Subject: Culture & Computing 2017 Call for Papers International Conference on Culture and Computing (Culture and Computing 2017) Date: September 10-12, 2017 Venue: The Kambaikan Building, Doshisha University (Muromachi Campus), Japan https://www.cis.doshisha.ac.jp/culture2017/ Culture and Computing is a new research area which aims to overcome different cultural issues in international communities using information and communication technologies (ICT). There are various research directions in the relations between culture and computing: to archive cultural heritages via ICT (cf. digital archives), to empower humanities researches via ICT (cf. digital humanities), to create art and expressions via ICT (cf. media art), to realize a culturally situated agent (cf. cultural agent), to support multi-language, multi-cultural societies via ICT (cf. intercultural collaboration), and to understand new cultures born in the Internet and Web (cf. net culture). The International Conference on Culture and Computing provides an opportunity to share research issues and discuss the future of culture and computing, which was established in Kyoto, the cultural heart of Japan in 2010, and has been held once every two years in Kyoto, Japan since 2011. The conference is also held in even years when there is a voluntary host city (e.g., Culture and Computing 2012 in Hangzhou, China). We invite submission to a wide range of venues including papers, posters, and demos. Submissions are solicited on any aspect on the intersection of culture and computing, but are expected to be suitable for a multidisciplinary audience. In Culture and Computing 2017, we especially encourage submissions on three topics: culture and computing for Tokyo Olympics, open data for culture and computing, and culture in social network. Other examples of suitable submission topics include: - Archiving cultural heritages - Information environments for humanity studies - Art and design by information technologies - Digital storytelling - Intercultural communication and collaboration - Culturally situated agents and simulations - Game and culture - Analysis of new culture in the Internet and Web - Culture and brain science - VR (virtual reality) application for culture - Digital libraries for cultural materials - Sound archiving of intangible cultural properties - Digital humanities - Culture based media art & music Paper Submission There are three types of submissions: full papers (main track and organized sessions), posters and demos. For oral presentation, a full paper with the length of 6-8 pages should be submitted. For poster presentation, a poster paper with a limit of two pages should be submitted. For demonstration, an extended summary of the demo system should be submitted with a limit of two pages. All submissions will be reviewed by three distinguished researchers in the area of culture and computing. Accepted papers/posters/demos will appear in the conference proceedings published by Conference Publishing Services of IEEE Computer Society and will be included in the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL).

Safelinks, says it all, as far as I am concerned, in its title: "Microsoft Advanced Threat Protection is a disaster". The technical details do not concern me. What does is the apparent lack of any concern for the communicative function of e-mail, Humanist's in particular. That Microsoft and the legion of people with purely technical concerns do not seem to see the problem, or seeing it do not care, is no surprise. I would like to think that an explicit protest would bring down the whole scheme, but my own experience with protesting locally suggests a stone wall more durable than I am. I purify incoming messages manually, looking up the uncorrupted URLs and restoring them, wherever I can. Meanwhile, if you find yourself on a university committee with power over the technocrats, please do vote against this cure worse than the disease.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 5 May 2017 09:56:42 -0700 From: Charles Faulhaber Subject: Electronic critical editions software review Dear Colleagues, For a panel discussion next week I would be extremely grateful if someone could point me toward a discussion of available software packages for electronic critical editions, with pros and cons for each package. For those in the U.S. there is a well-known magazine called *Consumer Reports, *which reviews everything from automobiles to dishwashers to lawnmowers—but, alas, not software packages like this. But that’s what I’d like to see. Much of what I see is ten years old and the more recent materials (e.g., Schraibman et al 2016, McCarty 2013) tend not to descend to the level of detail I am interested in. Many thanks, Charles Faulhaber UC Berkeley _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00 autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 747A418A4; Sat, 6 May 2017 09:07:01 +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 60ADA1836; Sat, 6 May 2017 09:07:00 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 423931830; Sat, 6 May 2017 09:06:57 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170506070657.423931830@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 6 May 2017 09:06:57 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 30.954 events: archives; text-analysis rethought 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: <20170506070700.5461.65763@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 30, No. 954.

Maier, Anna Novokhatko) Digital text analysis is increasing in prominence throughout the humanities. The ever growing availability of data has opened scholars to the possibilities of quantitative text analysis as a method of learning about the form and content of text. Greek and Latin text analysis in particular poses new questions through the development of text analysis tools and technologies. The 3-day conference is planned to discuss best practices in methods, methodology, tools and technology and hermeneutical reflections on text analysis; it is oriented to various kinds of digital projects on Ancient Greek and Latin texts based on central questions such as levels and techniques for the analysis of large bodies of texts: morphosyntactical, style/register determining, textual-critical, content, hermeneutic criteria for defining and recognizing items (letters, words, phrases and reference methods) multimodal and multicodal capabilities of text the relationship between text, e-text, and hypertext the methods and perspectives of semiotic and semantic analysis of text/graphic relationship The focus of the conference is an evaluation of the status quo in the digital analysis of Greek and Latin texts (literary and documents, papyri, manuscripts, inscriptions) – what sort of questions have been asked/answered/not yet answered/cannot be answered? Some speakers from non-classical fields have been invited, such experts in text analysis who can contribute to a broader overview of the issues. The programme and the abstracts can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b8oPWy5Pww_ICW3e_YbKXE4jh1Vh9HFG1fzWfZRajaw/edit The conference will be held in English. Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible next week in Heidelberg!

Take big data as an example. Technologies automatically and instantly archive what people say, what people do, and even what people think. The rich information provided by big data leads humanities research to a new frontier that can hardly be imagined by classical humanists. However, the self-archived data contain real, virtual, and even fake contents. How shall digital archivists and digital humanists embrace big data and big data analytics? Alternatively, will the ubiquitous digitization transform human culture and make “digital humanities” simply become “humanities”? Digitalization involves computing. Digital humanists share the same tools with computational social scientists to extract information, to analyze social network, and to perform geospatial analysis. Digital humanists have also attempted to apply the tools of computational social sciences to model and simulate the complex human experiences. In the meanwhile, computational social scientists are exploring sentiment modeling. When the research tools and topics of interest become common, how far can digital humanists and social scientists collaborate to gain deeper insights into common research problems and cope with shared challenges? Continuing the legacy of the past 7 annual conferences of DADH, we welcome the submissions of paper or poster abstracts and panel proposals related to, but not limited to, the aforementioned issues, digital technologies and applications, interdisciplinary research in humanities and social sciences with the use of digital data, theoretical and epistemological considerations in digital humanities, digital humanities education, digital arts and music, digital infrastructure, cultural heritage, and internet analysis. Submission Guidelines § Submission of a single paper abstract, poster abstract, or a panel proposal is welcomed. § All submissions are to be done online (website: http://www.aiecon. org/conference/DADH2017/submission.htm). § Submitted abstract for a single paper or poster should contain 1,000-3,000 words. § Submitted panel proposal should contain at least 1,500 words.
