Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 7 May 2017 08:36:04 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Happy 30th birthday Dear colleagues, It is a sign of age in more than one sense, and I would like to think of maturity, that this 30th birthday of Humanist almost passed without my noticing. I only noticed because the automatic changeover of volume and issue to 30.1 caught my eye. It may also be more evidence that reliance on automata, for example in my diary reminders of appointments, birthdays etc, has gradually offloaded more and more bits of my attentiveness. There's the clever app which tells me it's time to go to bed in order to get a full 8 hours of sleep, and then wakes me up with birdsong. There's the app which times the brushing of teeth. And there are many other possibilities to set reminders of this and that, and wearable devices to give you a tap on the wrist. A good thing or a bad thing, or simply a thing? If attentiveness were like a bank account which is depleted by direct debits, then automation would be unambiguously depriving us of mental wealth. But it isn't. Is it? Jessica Riskin's The Restless Clock (2016) tells us that there are precedents going back much further than digital machines. She plays with the idea of agency, divorcing consciousness from it, to come up with her thesis that machines are agents by being unpredictable. (If that's the case, then as Herman Goldstine and John von Neumann argued in 1947, the stored-program computer has been an agent from the get-go.) Interestingly she discusses the holy and unholy machines of the late medieval and early modern periods, arguing that their agency, as far as the pious were concerned, materialised for their time, for them, the beings their automata (shifting metaphysical gears) represented. We can do the same with ours for our time? After 30 years, now beginning the 31st, with popularity a major problem, with academic appointments secured, postdocs too, PhD degrees on offer, in progress and achieved, the dream conceived in protest in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1987, with Michael Sperberg-McQueen and others in a group of disgruntled outsiders, has to be redreamt. It seems to me that what's been achieved or simply come about for us to celebrate is not demolition of what once seemed an unbreachable stone wall but the opportunity to do unexpected and interesting things. Disciplines, I like to say and do believe, are starting points, not -- except for those whose ambitions go no further -- points of arrival or clubs to be joined. I come back to the closing sentences in Geoffrey Lloyd's The Ambitions of Curiosity: Understanding the World in Ancient Greece and China (2002) -- read it tonight! > Both societies, I have suggested, developed basic human capacities > for curiosity in intriguing and ingenious ways. But in both, the > ambitions of curiosity were just that, just ambitions. But what > ambitions: for in one context after another, they held out the hope > of understanding what had never been understood before. If we can understand this for ourselves and our own amorphous society -- that we hold out such hope -- then I think we have cause to celebrate this Sunday morning birthday.

In every sense we want to cover more territory – spatially (throughout the rest of the globe), temporally (both before and after the span of the classical West), and in terms of domain (beyond ‘space and place’, to represent time periods, people, and whatever other entities are of interest to historical researchers). Of course, this expansion of coverage also demands an expansion in community. It’s thanks to the dedication, intelligence, and skill of its predominantly-classicist user base that Pelagios Commons has become as successful and far-reaching as it has for the classical world. To keep moving beyond this domain will require equally engaged and intelligent contributions from historians of other times and places. And of course, to make technical or community decisions without participation or feedback from the many scholarly communities that stand to gain from Linked Pasts is to run the risk of excluding them from the graph of historical representation we’re now building. Any technical or disciplinary barriers that arise now will only be harder to remove, later. For most areas, there is little risk of this: Pelagios Commons already includes researchers into time periods from prehistory to the 19th century, and areas from Asia to North America. However, we still don’t have any participants specialising in the following areas: - the 20th century - indigenous peoples - the Antipodes Historians with a research focus in any of these areas are encouraged to register as members of Pelagios Commons (http://commons.pelagios.org/register/), and to join the Announce (http://commons.pelagios.org/groups/announcements-list/) and Discuss (http://commons.pelagios.org/groups/discussion-list-136072473/) mailing lists. Participation is as minimal or extensive as you desire. But any feedback on issues discussed there will be gratefully received – and of course this is an excellent opportunity to voice the requirements of your discipline, and ensure its value and distinctiveness are represented in the community.

For some projects we have helped to analyse several hundreds and the theoretical limit is about 3 billion words, but we have never worked toward this direction yet. If you want to have a try, please follow this tutorial to import raw text (in French sorry): https://groupes.renater.fr/wiki/txm-users/public/tutoriel_import_txt_csv or this one for XML-TEI encoded texts: https://groupes.renater.fr/wiki/txm-users/public/tutoriel_xtz_simple You can also have a look at how TXM works before, using some already prepared sample corpora: https://sourceforge.net/projects/txm/files/corpora You just have to load them into TXM. I just uploaded the EEBO-TCP Leviathan as a new sample: https://sourceforge.net/projects/txm/files/corpora/leviathan the folder also contains the EEBO-TCP XML-TEI P5 source text fitted for import into TXM.

Ess" Subject: 13th IFIP TC9 Human Choice and Computers Conference Dear Humanists (and happy birthday!), with the usual apologies for inadvertent duplications and cross-postings - please distribute to potentially interested persons and communities - 13th IFIP TC9 Human Choice and Computers Conference: "This Changes Everything" --€“ in conjunction with the World Computer Congress, 17th-21st September 2018, Poznan, Poland. Conference Chairs: David Kreps, Kai Kimppa, Louise Leenen, Charles Ess http://www.hcc13.net Conference Theme - Track Chairs: David Kreps and Charles Ess This Changes Everything. Many of us likely associate this phrase with Steve Jobs’ introduction of the iPhone in 2007. But there are clearly other candidates for the "€This,"€ e.g., the oncoming bioinformatics redesign of species or the fourth industrial revolution of artificially intelligent robots. But "This" is also, without question, the greatest challenge of our age: climate change. Accordingly, the 13th Human Choice and Computers conference centers on the question: ICT and Climate Change - What Can We Do? The Conference invites both academics and practitioners in the field of ICTs and Society to take stock of their engagements, review their focus, and assess what and how each and every one of us might be able to contribute to the transformations needed (and already beginning) in local, regional, national and international contexts, towards becoming the diverse, environmentally and socially conscious, and thriving communities. We welcome submissions that speak directly and less directly to the conference theme. “This Changes Everything” implicates both climate change and the interrelated global challenges most central to the Working Groups of TC9 and its National Society representatives, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Submissions are also welcome, not just to the General Conference Track on change, but to the other foci of the Track Themes. (For complete track descriptions, please see the extended CFP on the conference website, http://www.hcc13.net .) Track themes: * Societal implications, effects and impacts of artificial intelligence - Track Chairs: Diane Whitehouse and Christopher Zielinski (WG9.2) * Including critical issues beyond the ICT context in codes of conduct/ethics - Track Chairs: Kai Kimppa and Penny Duquenoy (SIG9.2.2) * Our digital lives - Track Chairs: Petros Chamakiotis and Brad McKenna (WG9.5) * This changed everything - Track Chair: Christopher Leslie (WG9.7) * Gender in ICT - Track Chairs: Sisse Finken, Christina Mörtberg and Johanna Sefyrin (WG9.8) * ICT and sustainability - Track Chairs: Thomas Lennerfors and Per Fors (WG9.9) * Climate risk, cyber-security, and the dark web - Track Chair: Louise Leenen (WG9.10) * Privacy, data protection, and automation - Track Chair: Taro Komukai (Japan National Representative) * ICT and an inclusive society - Track Chairs: Hossana Twinomurinzi and Jackie Phahlamohlaka (South Africa National Representative) Submissions Full papers are invited that address the Conference Theme, or any of the above Track Themes. All papers will be subject to double-blind review. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to revise their work in keeping with reviewers’ comments prior to formatting, and inclusion in the Programme and Proceedings. Travel, accommodation and all other details will be posted when available at http://www.hcc13.net/ Submissions will be through Springer OCS Website, with proceedings published in the AICT Springer Book series immediately prior to the conference. Important Dates Full paper deadline 15th January 2018 Reviews and revisions during February, March and April, 2018. Final Papers by 30th April, 2018.

In-Reply-To: <20170507075313.DD59F1888@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard A very happy birthday to Humanist! What a remarkable intellectual phenomenon it has been!! Your choice of quotations is entirely apt, since curiosity and openness have been its core values over all this time. So not only happy birthday to Humanist, but 30-year congratulations to its Editor for fostering and fomenting this community of scholarship - which is to say of question and debate. And of course Humanist’s role as disseminator of information has become increasingly important in our ever-expanding global community. A wonderful achievement, my friend - and we all hope - a continuing one!

Dedicated to the examination of the relations between the humanities and the sciences, the Summer School programme features workshops from leading scholars in the histories of science and medicine, literature and science, and the philosophy of science from across the UK and Europe. It is designed to give you access to significant researchers in the field, and professional development opportunities on publishing, public engagement, and archival research. In addition, you will have the opportunity to share ideas, concepts and methods with other doctoral students and begin to build a network of global contacts. The Summer School also incorporates a cultural programme focused on the rich heritage of Cardiff as both a Welsh and British city. The Summer School is open only to doctoral students located in universities and research centres outside the UK. There are only 12 places available. It is free to attend, but participants must be able to meet the cost of their own transport, accommodation and part of their subsistence during their stay in Cardiff. Advice will be given on accommodation and transport and some meals will be included during the Summer School. Two bursaries of £400 are available for students from nations with limited resources. To express initial interest or for more information, please email Professor Martin Willis on willism8@cardiff.ac.uk. The application form is available at the following link: ScienceHumanities Summer School Application Form 2017-18. The closing date for expressions of interest is 29 September, 2017.

Full papers on the theme "This Changes Everything" are due in January 2018. The working group I am affiliated with, History of Computing, will sponsor one of the themes: THIS CHANGED EVERYTHING In the history of computing, who were the important people and what were the important devices that deserve recognition as fulcrums that “changed everything”? In the development of computers as well as the study of history more generally, we also know that the more things change, the more they sometimes stay the same. What shifts in the history of computing were portrayed as changing everything but on closer analysis reveal deeper continuities? How do these lessons give us insight into future invention and innovation in computing? All papers along this theme will be considered. However, as we proposed at the New York conference last year, the following three topics might be particularly fruitful given the location: - The bomba and the collaboration between Poland and England in World War 2 - The international history of software engineering, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the NATO meeting in Garmisch, Germany that was the "first" software engineering conference - Work on the history of computing in eastern Europe more generally. A broader CFP. which includes the other tracks from TC9, follows. I hope you will considering being a part of this event and sharing the CFP among your networks. Chris Leslie ----- 13th IFIP TC9 Human Choice and Computers Conference: ”This Changes Everything” In conjunction with the World Computer Congress 17th-21st September 2018 in Poznan, Poland Conference Chairs: David Kreps, Kai Kimppa, Louise Leenen, Charles Ess http://www.hcc13.net This Changes Everything. Many of us likely associate this phrase with Steve Jobs’ introduction of the iPhone in 2007. But there are clearly other candidates for the ”This,” e.g., the oncoming bioinformatics redesign of species or the fourth industrial revolution of artificially intelligent robots. But ”This” is also, without question, the greatest challenge of our age: climate change. The conference invites both academics and practitioners in the field of ICTs and Society to take stock of their engagements, review their focus, and assess what and how each and every one of us might be able to contribute to the transformations needed (and already beginning) in local, regional, national and international contexts, towards becoming diverse, environmentally and socially conscious, and thriving communities. We welcome submissions that speak directly and less directly to the conference theme. “This Changes Everything” implicates both climate change and the interrelated global challenges most central to the Working Groups of TC9 and its National Society representatives, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Submissions are also welcome, not just to the General Conference Track on change, but to the other foci of the Track Themes. (For complete track descriptions, please see the extended CFP on the conference website, http://www.hcc13.net .) Themes: - Societal implications, effects and impacts of artificial intelligence - Track Chairs: Diane Whitehouse and Christopher Zielinski (WG9.2) - Including critical issues beyond the ICT context in codes of conduct/ethics - Track Chairs: Kai Kimppa and Penny Duquenoy (SIG9.2.2) - Our digital lives - Track Chairs: Petros Chamakiotis and Brad McKenna (WG9.5) - This changed everything - Track Chair: Christopher Leslie (WG9.7) - Gender in ICT - Track Chairs: Sisse Finken, Christina Mörtberg and Johanna Sefyrin (WG9.8) - ICT and sustainability - Track Chairs: Thomas Lennerfors and Per Fors (WG9.9) - Climate risk, cyber-security, and the dark web - Track Chair: Louise Leenen (WG9.10) - Privacy, data protection, and automation - Track Chair: Taro Komukai (Japan National Representative) - ICT and an inclusive society - Track Chairs: Hossana Twinomurinzi and Jackie Phahlamohlaka (South Africa National Representative) Submissions: Full papers are invited that address the Conference Theme, or any of the above Track Themes. All papers will be subject to double-blind review. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to revise their work in keeping with reviewers’ comments prior to formatting, and inclusion in the Programme and Proceedings.

Schaffer" Subject: CfP: Histories of Anthropology, Cambridge 18-19 September 2017 Histories of Anthropology: Transforming Knowledge and Power (1870-1970) University of Cambridge, 18-19 September 2017 Keynote Speaker: Sadiah Qureshi (Birmingham) The rise of anthropology as an academic discipline transformed the development of cognate disciplines and the interaction of power and knowledge in the modern world. This two-day conference will explore these two themes in terms of the social, intellectual and political history of anthropology, ranging in scale from the local to the transnational and global. We seek papers on the history of anthropology in terms of two broadly conceived themes. The first concerns the history of anthropology's relationship with cognate disciplines. In the second theme, we seek papers on the political and social history of anthropology, its relationship to governance, colonialism and broader political and social transformations.

When transformed as a digital stream, however, an archive of radio programs has the potential to reconfigure a community’s perspective on its own cultural heritage. University of Michigan associate professor Paul Conway will provide a status report on an innovative project to digitize and make available over 900 radio programs of a longstanding shortwave broadcast from the Voice of America to the post-colonial African continent. In January 2015, the US government agency transferred the Leo Sarkisian Music Library to the University of Michigan, creating a fixed archive from an organic resource that supported the production of “Music Time in Africa.” The archive encompasses sound recordings and type-scripts of the radio program, 1965-2004, along with extensive recordings of live musical performances made by Leo Sarkisian in his travels through Africa as he helped establish radio stations in sub-Saharan Africa. The project is supported by the US National Endowment for the Humanities and is a scholarly collaboration with University of Michigan Professor of Anthropology Kelly Askew. Professor Conway will present his paper, “From International Shortwave to Digital Archive: Transforming Cultural Property for a New Worldwide Audience,” and participate in a panel discussion that explores the implications of the project for archival theory and the practice of audiovisual digitization. The paper assesses the recorded evidence of Leo Sarkisian’s life’s work as a case study of the successive transformations of archival memory. The paper highlights how digital transformation challenges our understanding of cultural property ownership when cultural heritage that was once fixed on contemporaneous live field recordings and radio broadcasts heard only once, decades ago, now lives on as residual digital memory that can be reclaimed and repatriated through community engagement. -- Paul Conway Associate Professor of Information University of Michigan School of Information _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) 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 42ECB19D3; Wed, 10 May 2017 07:06:48 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 38D33DDA; Wed, 10 May 2017 07:06:47 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 13F58DDA; Wed, 10 May 2017 07:06:43 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170510050644.13F58DDA@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 07:06:43 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.11 tools for massive corpora 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: <20170510050647.22388.3072@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 11.

As was the fashion of the time, it includes at the back of the book a CD; this CD requires a Mac Classic environment in which to run. Does anyone know of a conversion of this CD to an up-to-date version -- or a means of converting it that does not require old hardware? In the book Kim McKenzie, the videographer who collaborated with Gurrmanamana and the anthropologist Les Hiatt in the making of the CD, comments on the combinatorial device that Hiatt invented and Gurrimanamana used in working out relations among his people -- blocks of wood with stick-figures drawn on them, which the Aboriginal elder moved about and positioned on a table to tell his story. I am especially interested in anything further on that device. Pointers most welcome. It is clear from the literature beginning at least with Claude Lévi-Strauss and André Weil that kinship relations attracted mathematical formulation. But Hiatt's device, like the Chinese Yijing, which attracted Leibniz's binary-mathematical attention, is computational in the physical sense, not simply abstractly mathematical. That's why I'm interested.

Your sustained dedication and care, together with the quiet but evident appreciation and support of the DH community, make this list an important DH achievement. I think there are few other disciplines that can claim to have a community list with the same degree of sustained quality and contribution. Long may it continue.

They are made to measure, model, and mix; count and aggregate; save and surveil; pick, parse, and select; and in a world of embedded systems, they are even designed to listen, wait, and relay. In many instances, these actions involve the computational transformation of other social and technological processes—from software that compiles the census to the suites of code assisting in the digital manipulation of sound and image. In other cases, computers register and create information at scales and speeds we have only begun to grasp: artificial intelligence, machine learning, and “big data” in all its local forms. And while often leveraged as democratizing, computers have long been known to amplify structural inequality, map over difference, and jettison “noise” that cannot be translated into a specific form of information. Measure, Model, Mix invites scholars and independent researchers across the disciplinary spectrum to explore the historical conditions of computation. How have bureaucratic, scientific, and aesthetic computational instruments eroded, produced, and reproduced biopolitical and epistemological realities, past and present? What are the historical foundations of computing’s contemporary capacity to recognize information? How have cultures, subcultures, political systems and identity groups mobilized computational techniques for their own ends? The annual SIGCIS Conference begins immediately after the regular annual meeting of our parent organization, the Society for the History of Technology [SHOT]. We welcome submissions from: the histories of technology, computing, and science; science and technology studies; studies of women, gender, and sexuality; studies of race, ethnicity, and postcoloniality; film, media, and game studies; software and code studies; network and internet histories; music, sound studies, and art history; and all other applicable domains. SUBMISSION FORMATS SIGCIS welcomes proposals for individual 15-20 minute papers, 3-4 paper panel proposals, works-in-progress (see below), and non-traditional proposals such as roundtables, software demonstrations, hands-on workshops, etc. WORKS-IN-PROGRESS We are pleased to announce a new format for the 2017 SIGCIS Works in Progress (WiP) session. This year, participants will not deliver presentations on their WiP, and there will not be an audience. Instead, the session will serve as a workshop wherein participants will discuss the works in small group sessions. We invite works in progress—articles, chapters, dissertation prospectuses—of 10,000 words or less (longer works must be selectively edited to meet this length). We especially encourage submissions from graduate students, early career scholars, and scholars who are new to SIGCIS. Authors who submit a WiP will also commit to reading (in advance) two other WiPs, discussing them in a very small group setting, and providing written feedback on one of those WiPs. Scholars who would like to participate in this session without submitting their own WiP are certainly welcome; we ask that they commit to reading (in advance) at least two of the WiPs. Submissions for WiP only require a 350-400 word abstract, but applicants should plan to circulate their max-10,000-word WiPs no later than October 8, 2017. Scholars who would like to be a reader of WiPs, please email a brief bio or 1-page CV, along with your areas of interest and expertise, to Gerardo Con Diaz [condiaz@ucdavis.edu]. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Submissions are due June 30, 2017. Applicants should download, fill out and follow the instructions on the application cover sheet at http://meetings.sigcis.org/call-for-papers.html. All submissions will require: - 350-400 word abstract (full panel proposals should additionally include a 300-word panel abstract in addition to 3-4 paper abstracts) - 1-page CV or resume Please Note: Individuals already scheduled to participate on the main SHOT program are welcome to submit an additional proposal to our workshop, but should make sure that there is no overlap between the two presentations. However, SIGCIS may choose to give higher priority to submissions from those not already presenting at SHOT. Questions regarding submission procedure should be sent to Kera Allen [kera.allen@gatech.edu]. TRAVEL AWARD The top financial priority of SIGCIS is the support of travel expenses for graduate students, visiting faculty without institutional travel support, and others who would be unable to attend the meeting without travel assistance. The submission cover sheet includes a box to check if you fall into one of these categories and would like to be considered for an award. These is no separate application form, though depending on the volume of requests and available resources we may need to contact you for further information before making a decision. Any award offered is contingent on registering for and attending the SIGCIS Conference. Please note that SHOT does not classify the SIGCIS Conference as participation in the SHOT annual meeting, therefore so acceptance by SIGCIS does not imply eligibility for the SHOT travel grant program. Details of available awards are at http://www.sigcis.org/travelaward.

In-Reply-To: <20170510051538.03AC919D4@digitalhumanities.org> Hi Willard, I'd like to have a look at 'The Jaborr Texts of Frank Gurrmanamana' if you can get it working, in relation to something else I'm looking into. I'm not a history of the mac expert but here's some suggestions: - There is a difference between being able to run and being able to read/copy the information. - If it was published in 2002 it's unlikely to require Mac Classic to run, because Mac Classics were 1980s and used floppy disks. It may require an IMac environment (ie: before the Unix based OS). - Some CD Roms were based on HTML, basically a website on a disk, so there is a chance that if you can copy the data from the CDRom to somewhere else, it may be possible to access it relatively simply. All you might need is something that can read a CDRom. On the other hand it may have been built in an old version of flash or who knows what. I would suggest though, just trying to find a computer with a CDRom reader in the first instance. Copy the data up to Google drive or somewhere, then ask around if anyone can identify what sort of data it is and how it might be read, extracted or run. If you are worried about copyright, you could just invite people to the Google drive folder individually. I'd be happy to have a quick look at it to at least get an idea of what it is, but won't be able to help if it is indeed old Mac dependent.

I believe the best solution would be to have a Mac Classic environment emulated in a modern PC and have the CD 'ripped' to a disk file that looks to the emulated Mac as if it were a CD-ROM in the Mac's CD drive.

(I have a PowerBook G4 from 2005 or so that functions this way, for example.) A second option - but one that takes considerable time and tinkering (mostly of the fun sort) - is to use SheepShaver as an emulator running within a more current Mac. http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver_mac_os_x_setup The instructions, etc. are some what dated (Feb 2014), but my setup still works with OS 10.11.6. With some attention to specific settings, this should let your contemporary DVD/CD reader/writer read the contents - and then you can decide how you want to re-record / store them in contemporary media. A third alternative: can you make a disk image and make it available via, e.g., Dropbox? I (or anyone else so equipped and inclined) could (I think) manipulate the disk image in such a way as to retrieve its original contents and then record these on a contemporary medium.

I have a still-functioning 2001 Dual-USB iBook (the first generation "Snow" book)[they are tough little machines]. The processor architecture was PowerPC G3, which can be emulated on the Intel architecture with SheepShaver (https://sheepshaver.cebix.net/; I have not tested this). The machine came with Mac OS 9 installed, and a beta of OS X 10.0 I think. I'd assume that if the CD contains say a HyperCard stack, it would include a runtime of the HyperCard software, so it's possible you could get the whole thing working with SheepShaver and a copy of MacOS 9. If it's a collection of QuickTime videos, those can be transcoded. ____________ P. T.

I'm no Mac expert by any means, but upon doing some digging, it looks like if the CD in question is from 2002, it's most likely meant for a PowerPC-based iMac running either OS 8 or 9. A nearby Apple enthusiast may have a still-functional one on hand. If you can't dig one up, though, there *is* at least one PPC Mac emulator out there called SheepShaver: http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/sheepshaver That's a little tricky, though, because SheepShaver needs a valid original iMac ROM file and OS installation CD to get running, and those are few and far between these days. You *can* find them online, but that gets legally...iffy...at best. Barring all that, probably your best bet is (as Bill Pascoe suggested) trying to see if the data you're looking for can be read and/or used without needing a Mac. -- Tom Salyers _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) 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 272E51A78; Fri, 12 May 2017 08:33:33 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id E88C1182C; Fri, 12 May 2017 08:33:32 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C918D1A13; Fri, 12 May 2017 08:33:29 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170512063329.C918D1A13@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 12 May 2017 08:33:29 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.19 hosts for DH2020?

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. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 16:22:10 +0000 From: "Cogdill, Sharon E."

UCL has a strong culture and tradition of interdisciplinary research, which has been a key factor in it currently attracting more research funding than any other UK university. UCLDIS is itself multidisciplinary, with research collaborations and funded research projects involving subject areas in the arts and humanities, psychology, social sciences, and computer science. It has four distinct research centres, including the UCL Centre for Digital Humanities (UCLDH; http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dh ). Founded in 2010, UCLDH is a cross-faculty research centre, bringing together a vibrant network of people who teach and research in a wide range of disciplines. The proposed studentship will be embedded in Enlightenment Architectures: Sir Hans Sloane’s catalogues of his collections, a Leverhulme Trust Research Project Grant awarded to the British Museum and UCL. Sloane’s collection was the foundation in 1753 of the British Museum which now has over 6 million visitors a year and a remarkable collection that spans over two million years of human history and culture. It is an Independent Research Organization with internationally renowned multidisciplinary research projects and co-supervising around 30 AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Partnerships. Crossing different academic disciplines and parts of the world, British Museum research provides new information and perspectives on the collection and the ancient and modern cultures it represents. In addition to training offered by UCL, the student will be a member of the British Museum’s own collaborative PhD community and will be able to attend training and cohort development activities provided by a consortium of major museums, libraries and heritage organisations to all their collaborative doctoral students. Studentship Description The aim of the studentship will be to use Sloane’s catalogues as a test bed on which to conduct research on how digital interrogation, inferencing and analysis techniques can allow new knowledge to be created about the information architectures of manuscript catalogues such as those of Sloane. The proposed research must also have a strong critical and analytical dimension so that it can be set within our wider framework of academic inquiry that is concerned with understanding how collections and their documentation together formed a cornerstone of the “laboratories” of the emergent Enlightenment. An existent framework for these inquiries can be explored in the online audio record of the AHRC funded 'Sloane's Treasures' workshops: http://backdoorbroadcasting.net/tag/sir-hans-sloane/ . Given the specialized nature of the project the supervisors will give guidance to the successful applicant on the development of a research proposal within the broad field of digital approaches to the interrogation of machine readable surrogates of early modern collection catalogues such as Sloane's. Possible approaches could include, but are not limited to: semantic web, linked open data, AI and machine learning, statistics, data mining, textual analysis, visualisation. The research will be supervised by one or more of the academics from the Digital Humanities team (Dr Julianne Nyhan, who is Co-Investigator of the Enlightenment Architectures project, will be primary supervisor) together with other colleagues from UCL, depending on the subject area. The research will also benefit from the advice and expertise of Dr Kim Sloan, a senior curator at the British Museum with responsibility for the Enlightenment Gallery and the Principle Investigator of Enlightenment Architectures and Dr Martha Fleming, collections-based research specialist and historian of science, and the Senior Research Assistant on the project. Two further Post Doctoral Research Assistants will form part of the team in which this studentship will be embedded. The studentship will also benefit from contact with wider scholarly communities of researchers participating in project workshops. The studentship is full-time and pays fees at UK/EU rate. In addition, teaching opportunities may be available in UCLDIS during its tenure. Initial registration will be for the degree of MPhil and the candidate will be expected to present a seminar and a written Upgrade report during their second year which will allow the upgrade of registration to PhD. General information for doctoral applicants is available on the DIS webpages at: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dis/phd . Please note that there will be a two stage application process for this scholarship, with the initial application directly to DIS. It is expected that the studentship will commence as soon as possible. Person Specification Applicants should have a good first degree, a Masters degree (minimum 2:1) in any one of information history, digital humanities, information studies, the history of collecting, the history of science, or a relevant field. An interest in any of the research areas of UCLDH, and excellent written, communication, and organisational skills. Any experience of working in a Digital Humanities or Cultural Heritage environment will be an asset, as would knowledge of Latin or another European language. Eligibility Applications will normally be restricted to candidates from the UK and EU countries. General information for doctoral applicants is available on the DIS webpages at:http://www.ucl.ac.uk/dis/phd . There will be a two stage application process for this scholarship. Candidates are asked to email to Kerstin Michaels (k.michaels@ucl.ac.uk): 1. A cover letter that outlines the candidate’s background and skills, explains their suitability to undertake the proposed research and briefly discusses the directions their research might take within the wider project. 2. A CV 3. A writing sample (c.3000 words) The successful candidate will then be invited to apply through the usual UCL admissions processes.

The history of the dawn of computers on this particular side of the world was shadowed by the intense interest in evolution of the field in Russia, closely scrutinized during the start of the Cold War. What happened between Eastern Germany and Russia was regarded as a footnote when addressing the history of computing. We would like to expand that footnote not only by exposing the technical mastery and engineering craftsmanship, but also adding stories from the birth of the magnificent calculating behemoths. Transylvania Digital Humanities Centre (DigiHUBB http://digihubb.centre.ubbcluj.ro/ ) invites participants from Central & Eastern Europe to join us at the Babeș - Bolyai University in Cluj Napoca, Romania to share the hidden stories of the first digital workers and the primitive computers from their respective countries. We are looking for presentations from mathematicians, computer scientists and technology historians accessible to a non-technical audience. We are honored to have Professor Willard McCarty, King’s College London, Claire Clivaz, Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics (Lausanne, CH) and Mircea Rusu, Institute of Atomic Physics (IFA) Bucharest as keynote speakers. Submissions of abstracts for oral presentations no longer than 20 minutes, featuring high quality and previously unpublished research are invited on the following TOPICS: ● Early computers and pioneers from Eastern and Central Europe ● Computer prototypes and experimental machines ● The evolution of computing technology and communications ● Educational initiatives and the birth of computer science in Eastern and Central Europe countries ● Women as digital workers ● Timesharing and other strategies in using the computers ● Social, political or economical impact of building computer prototypes ● First steps in the evolution of IT industries ● Forgotten figures and stories ● Corpora of letters, publications and journals of the era ● Building computers between science and craftsmanship.

[The University of Sydney] Sydney Digital Humanities Research Group Seminar [https://wordvine.sydney.edu.au/files/2412/16571/images/custom/77223_Digital%20humanities.jpg] Digital tools and visual methods: the Virtual Museum of Balinese Paintings (balipaintings.org) Professor Adrian Vickers, The University of Sydney Visual sources are often treated as illustrations of text, but the opening up of recent archives of Indonesian historical photography and Balinese painting have demonstrated new possibilities for approaches to research. 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).

I should have been more specific about the contents. There are audio (.aif) and video (.mov) files, together with QuickTime 5; several .cxt files; one .dxr; a .mac file; and a "start here" which my machine identifies as "Application (Classic)". The audio and video files play without trouble; for me the audio is the treasure, in which the anthropologist Hiatt describes how he came to devise the mechanism by which Gurrimanamana was able to communicate the kinship relations of his society. At the outset of his student's project, Hiatt's PhD supervisor remarked that it would be handy to have objects for the Aboriginal elder to manipulate, since Hiatt's grasp of the language was not up to the subtleties of description. Hiatt used matchsticks, then made, he says, a technological innovation, inscribing stick-figures on wooden blocks that could be moved about. After a very short time Gurrimanamana took over and, with the blocks, began to tell the long and quite complex story of his people. All this becomes relevant to our subject once you can see the combinatorial and physical mathematics which Hiatt's device enabled. That PhD thesis became a book, Kinship and Conflict (1965), the illustrations of kinship relations in which resemble the formal diagrams of logic. Not being an anthropologist I don't know how common such quasi-logic diagramming is in discussions of kinship, but I would suppose that they are. In any case, Hiatt remarks in the audio files that the PhD dissertation by its nature hid the real story of how the research was done, the method. This does remind me of how frustrating it can be in discussions of a research project, especially the older ones, to get to the computing that was involved in it -- and how important it is in scholarly writings, including doctoral dissertations, to find ways of balancing technical details with the non-technical.

Please register by 25 May (or at least write to me by that point so that I can see whether we have space: see http://bit.ly/digMit2017 ). Registration is quite affordable: $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. For those staying on campus, arrivals are on Tues. 27 June, and departures on Saturday 1 July, and the school is in session for full days (9 - 5:30ish) from Wed. through Fri. 28 -30 June. Our Coding School is a few years old now, and each year we offer opportunities to learn digital scholarly editing with us by working with Digital Mitford materials. Those especially interested in Mary Russell Mitford (or our cluster of related topics on women writers, theaters, annuals, life-writing, and publishing contexts from the 18th and 19th centuries) have an opportunity to join our editing team after our Coding School experience. We've been doing this for a few years now, and the School has been increasing our community of involved coders. You'll emerge with perspective, tools, and resource knowledge to beginbuilding your own project, or, if you like, to help us build ours. In the space of 3-4 days, participants gain experience with: - textual scholarship and paleography (working primarily with 19th-century manuscript letters and publications) - best practices and sustainable formats for preparing digital scholarly editions - ideas for involving students at all levels in the digital scholarly editing experience - how to work with TEI XML to make an information architecture and database. This includes: - Autotagging and regular expression matching to “up-convert” plain text, and old word-processed documents and dated formats into XML markup - Hands-on experience with XPath and code schema design for project management and data analysis - For those ready (returning and advanced coders), experience writing XSLT to publish editions and process informative charts and data visualizations As in past Coding Schools, our experienced student coders from Pitt-Greensburg's Center for the Digital Text will be on hand throughout the experience to help when anyone gets stuck. Members of the Digital Mitford editing team will also be there to take in a review of coding, work on their editing assignments, and help with the orientation. One of the unusual features of our Coding School is that we combine it with our editors' face-to-face coding and planning workshop, which gives Coding School participants a unique opportunity to gain an insider perspective on an ongoing digital project with lots of collaboration! For more information and link to the registration form, please see http://bit.ly/digMit2017 . Please share with any colleagues or students you know who would benefit from participating. We accept all levels of learner here, and the only qualification is really your interest in the topics described here. NO background is necessary: our Coding School is meant to be an immersive experience that establishes a solid foundation for continued learning. We look forward to another lively Coding School and discussion this year. Thanks for reading, sharing, and responding!

On the one hand it will look at the overlap between ontologies and computational linguistics; and on the other the relationship between knowledge modelling and terminologies -- as well as the many points of intersection between these two topics. Languages and Ontologies: Formal ontologies are taking on an increasingly important role in computational linguistics and automated language processing. Knowledge models and ontologies are of interest to several areas of NLP including, but not limited to, Machine Translation, Question Answering, and Word Sense Disambiguation. At a more abstract level ontologies can help us to model and reason about natural language semantics. They can be also used for the organisation and formalisation of linguistically relevant categories such as those used in tagsets for corpus annotation. At the same time, the fact that formal ontologies are being increasingly accessed by users with a limited or with no background in formal logic has led to a growing interest in the development of front ends that allow for the easy editing, querying and summarisation of such resources; it has also led to work in developing natural language interfaces for authoring and for evaluating ontologies. Another area that is now beginning to receive more attention is the application of ontologies and taxonomies to the annotation and study of literary texts, as well as of texts more generally in the humanities. This is closely related to the ontology-enhanced modelling of lexicographic resources, another topic which is gaining in popular. This brings us to the field of terminology as a linguistic field, where in recent years there has been a shift from merely compiling specialized lexicographic resources to exploring terminology as a tool for structuring knowledge in a given domain. As such, this has led to more intelligent ways of accessing, extracting, representing, modelling, visualising and transferring knowledge. Numerous tools for the automatic extraction of terms, term variants, knowledge-rich contexts, definitions, semantic relations, and taxonomies from specialized corpora have been developed for a number of languages and new theoretical approaches have emerged as potential frameworks for the study of specialized communication. However, the building of adequate knowledge models for practitioners (e.g. experts, researchers, translators, teachers etc.), on the one hand, and for use by NLP applications (including cross-language, cross-domain, cross-device, multimodal, multi-platform applications) on the other, still remains a challenge. LOTKS will provide a forum for discussion on how to best bridge these two sets of requirements. Motivation and Topics of Interest This workshop welcomes contributions from researchers in fields such as linguistics, terminologies, and knowledge engineering, whose work fits in with our topics of interest as well as interested industry professionals. Building on the success both of the 1st LangandOnto workshop (co-located with ICWS 2015) as well as last year’s joint LangandOnto/TermiKS workshop (co-located with LREC 2016), this workshop aims to create a forum for open discussion that will help to highlight the common areas of interest in the different fields concerned, as well as fostering dialogue between the various different approaches taken by each discipline. And therefore we particularly welcome approaches with a cross-language, cross-domain and/or cross-interdisciplinary scope. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - NLP-driven ontology modelling - The use of ontologies to structure linguistic tagsets - Natural language interfaces to ontologies - Ontologies for NLP tasks (e.g. textual entailment, summarisation, word sense disambiguation) and Information Retrieval - Lexical Ontologies - The use of ontologies in analysing/studying literary texts - Ontology-driven natural language generation - Linguistic, cognitive, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, computational and hybrid approaches to knowledge modelling - Construction of terminological knowledge bases - Terminology modelling for MT - Knowledge extraction from user-generated content - Frame-based approaches to knowledge extraction and representation - Building knowledge resources for less-resourced domains and languages - Visual components of specialized knowledge bases - Visualisation techniques for knowledge representations - Term variation and knowledge representations - NLP applications for terminology management - Terminologies in the Digital Humanities Proposals We invite proposals in the form of abstracts of up to 6 pages (up to 4 pages of text +2 pages for references) for short papers, or up to 8 pages (up to 6 pages of text+ 2 pages for references) for long papers.

The group's methods have previously been implemented on several humanities and library projects, such as CLAROS; Bodleian Ballads Online (http://balladsblog.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/blog/1069); and the 15cBooktrade (http://15cbooktrade.ox.ac.uk/illustration). The group’s SEEBIBYTE project (www.seebibyte.org) will be hosting an invitation-only show and tell event in Oxford on June 15 from which it hopes to create a diverse user-group to pioneer the application of next-generation computer vision methods to humanities research areas. Those potentially interested in attending can contact Giles Bergel (giles.bergel@eng.ox.ac.uk) with a brief outline of the area of interest and a characteristic image or image-set.

Among other gambits, such as the elevation of political concerns, Adler writes that, > this skills-based rationale for the humanities is exactly the sort of > blunder traditionalists made during the 19th century. As promoters of > new disciplines in the social and natural sciences clamored for > inclusion, traditionalists insisted that the classical languages > deserved their dominant place in the undergraduate curriculum because > studying them promoted "mental discipline." It did not take long for > critics to dismantle that claim: The classical humanities, after all, > have no monopoly on "mental discipline," just as the contemporary > humanities have no monopoly on "critical thinking." > > More important, these attempts to defend the humanities in fact > subordinate them to the social sciences. He cites Martha Nussbaum's Not for Profit: Why Democracy Needs the Humanities (Princeton University Press, 2010): > In her book, Nussbaum cites a variety of studies by psychologists to > buoy her claims about the value of the humanities. Through this > means, she and like-minded thinkers like Paul Jay make social > scientists the arbiters of the humanities' value. The implicit > message is that, unlike the humanities, the social sciences have the > tools to assess value. To establish their worthiness, humanists must > play the social scientists' game. Like the guardians of the curricula > of antebellum classical colleges, such defenders of the contemporary > humanities are setting themselves up for failure. Adler calls for "a reinvigoration of aesthetic criteria in the humanities". What role might digital study of our source materials play in such a reinvigoration?

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, 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.

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.

Don't forget to send in your abstracts: call for papers deadline 21 May. Further information below: August 22-23rd 2017 Practical Networks Workshop   The Connected Past 2017 is a multi-disciplinary, international two-day conference that aims to provide a friendly and informal platform for exploring the use of network research in the study of the human past.  It will be preceded by a two-day practical workshop offering hands-on experience with a range of network science methods. Deadline call for papers: May 21, 2017 Notification of acceptance: May 29, 2017   Conference registration (includes coffee breaks and lunch): £35 Workshop registration (includes coffee breaks): £20 Keynotes: Eleftheria Paliou and discussant Chris Tilley (tbc) Organisers: Fiona Coward, Anna Collar & Tom Brughmans   Call for Papers Five years have passed since the first Connected Past conference (Southampton 2012) brought together scholars working in archaeology, history, physics, mathematics and computer science to discuss how network methods, models and thinking might be used to enhance our understanding of the human past. Much has happened in these intervening years: applications of network analysis have expanded rapidly; a number 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 not limited 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 abstract limited 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.   --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 13:35:08 +0000 From: René Audet Subject: CfP : Le livre, défi de design : l'intersection numérique de la création et de l'édition Hi everyone, Please find enclosed a CfP for a great event to come in Montréal (Apr 30-May 1st, 2018) about book, design, and digital culture.

The journal has also been given a makeover. This is a twofold turning point for the journal, which is both breaking with restricted access distribution on Elsevier and switching from print to digital. For Didier Demanière, author of this issue’s editorial http://sdt.revues.org/502 , the change “signals a rupture with an international publisher contested for its exorbitant fees and positions the journal in the movement for open access to scientific articles”. “The arrival of *Sociologie du travail* on OpenEdition is an important event in our eyes”, observes Marin Dacos, director of the Centre for Open Electronic Publishing (Cléo), which runs OpenEdition. “This is a journal that is an authority in its field and which is joining us and deciding to leave Elsevier, a publishing magnate that for 30 years has contributed to making libraries’ acquisitions budgets skyrocket. We are proud to help it choose open access and to offer it international visibility on OpenEdition.” The journal has chosen to be published on Revues.org using the Freemium programme, with the HTML format of texts accessible to all readers and the PDF and ePub formats reserved to users affiliated to subscribing libraries and institutions. This formula enables journals to enjoy greater visibility in university networks, while also generating income. Founded in 1959, *Sociologie du travail* is one of France’s most longstanding sociology journals.

Appeals to authority create a model of value in which more authoritative fields pronounce truth about less authoritative fields. But I regard social sciences and humanities as being in a conversation of equals. Deploying evidence from social sciences does not mean that social sciences has a larger or more valid point of view. Or is somehow 'truthier'. Psychology, for example, has often borrowed from literature and/or philosophy to formulate theories about human thought and the psyche. We each have a piece of the proverbial elephant. -- Mary E.

In-Reply-To: <20170516061632.CBD011A96@digitalhumanities.org> Willard, Thanks for passing this along – from your nice summary, the piece deserves some close attention. I must say that I agree with Adler’s claim that “critical thinking” should not be the value that humanists use to define their distinctive contribution to education. But I would also argue that neither are “aesthetic criteria,” so far as I understand the idea, at least not as the leading value proposition (to use that phrase). Instead, I would propose something along the lines of “historical and cultural consciousness,” broadly conceived. For a genuine humanities education is one that in large part immerses students in a descriptive knowledge of history and culture, from a variety of perspectives, including art history, literary history, history of philosophy, ethnography, and so on. This kind of rich immersion, always mediated at the highest levels through mastery of human language, is simply out of reach for those pursuing STEM degrees, because of the sheer time involved, and the mental tolerance for (apparent) noise and paradox required to take it all in. Nor are big data approaches to historical corpora going to change this, although their contribution will have a great impact on the direction of the humanities, just as Braudel’s archaeological approach to history did in the previous century. It is the internalization of rich content that distinguishes humanists, and it is on this foundation that the humanities can take a critical perspective in the first place, since criticism arises from comparison of things observed to rich examples, well understood. Now, I am aware that it is precisely on this question -- of whether humanists can in fact internalize a significant amount of historical and cultural material in the first place, given that no one can read “millions of books” -- that a current debate in digital humanities focuses. Perhaps more rests on the fate of this debate than we may have imagined. Raf Rafael C.

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. The panel proposal should provide an overview and the abstracts of 3-4 papers. Post-Conference Publication All authors who attend the conference will be invited to submit revised papers to the special issues of the following journals: New Mathematics and Natural Computation (World Scientific) Journal of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities (Taiwanese Association for Digital Humanities) Detailed information will be announced later.

My problem is that, in most cases, I only need to link to short passages, of two or three lines, or even specific words, while (if I am not mistaken) the citation URIs correspond to larger chunks of text (or even whole poems). My question then: is it possible to manipulate the URI or is there some other way available in order to link to a specific line in a text of the Perseus Digital Library? Thanking you in advance, Yiannis Doukas _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) 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 BB3F51AD0; Thu, 18 May 2017 09:07:54 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5789E1884; Thu, 18 May 2017 09:07:53 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B29311884; Thu, 18 May 2017 09:07:50 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20170518070750.B29311884@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 09:07:50 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.39 Just Review: advocacy against gender bias 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: <20170518070754.14883.77575@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 39.

Registration is free, and we hope some of you can join us - please find further information below: ------------------------------- Mapping Multilingualism and Digital Culture (workshop) King's College London 22 June 2017, 10 am to 5.30 pm Modern Languages research increasingly happens in a context which is influenced by digital culture, and although this is often forgotten or ignored, global digital culture is profoundly multilingual. But what do we really understand about interactions (and tensions) between the two? How is Modern Languages research transformed by digital culture, and how can a multilingual perspective help us to engage with the 'Digital' more effectively? This workshop aims to critically examine the current state of Modern Languages research which is somehow digitally mediated - whether that be in its creation (editing), methods (virtual ethnography; social and cultural analytics; distant reading), transmission (as code), dissemination (digital publishing; visualisation), object of study (as 'data'), infrastructure (digital archives; ecosystems), mobility/mutability or its social dimension (crowdsourcing; social media). It explores how the study of other cultures, their languages, literature, art and history are altered as a result, and what this means for researching (and learning) Modern Languages. The workshop will bring together a range of academics, digital practitioners and cultural sector respondents in order to study the challenges and opportunities in merging digital and non-digital methods into an approach which integrates critical thinking, humanities-based interpretative skills, creativity and digitally mediated knowledge production. The workshop sets out to explore the following questions: * How does digital culture alter the way that Modern Languages research is carried out? * How have research questions relating to Modern Languages been articulated (and answered) using digital technology? * How have scholars and practitioners studying 'the digital' approached and interpreted Modern Languages research? What tools and methodologies have they employed, and what opportunities are there for broader application? * To what extent have networked communication, open culture, collective intelligence and participatory architectures influenced the execution and transmission of Modern Languages research and what are the opportunities/barriers? * What new research methods or research objects are created as a result? And what implications does this have for teaching/learning? The workshop will start with a keynote speech from Professor Claire Taylor (University of Liverpool), and includes panel discussions, group activities and presentations on a number of topics from digital researchers & practitioners with an interest in Modern Languages. This is the first in a series of events organised by the 'Digital Mediations' strand on the Language Acts project http://languageacts.org/ and funded by the AHRC as part of its OWRI initiative. The strand surveys digital data, tools and methodologies commonly used in Modern Languages research (with a particular, but not exclusive, focus on Spanish and Portuguese-language research) and explores the potential and limitations of digital culture in a language-based research ecosystem. There will also be opportunities to engage (digitally) with the questions raised by the workshop before, during, and after the event: we will be opening up debate online and asking people to nominate their favourite digital tools, projects and publications involving Modern Languages research. Some of the contributions to the workshop will be published online afterwards. Attendance is free, but places at this event at King's College London are limited so please register at: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/mapping-multilingualism-and-digital-culture-tickets-34502813845 For more information please see the workshop web page at: https://languageacts.org/events/mapping-multilingualism-and-digital-culture/ You can follow us on Twitter at @languageacts and the #languageacts hashtag Paul Spence and Renata Brandão -- Best wishes Paul Spence Senior Lecturer Department Education Lead / Programme Convenor MA in Digital Humanities Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL paul.spence@kcl.ac.uk http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/ddh/research/index.aspx http://www.kcl.ac.uk/artshums/depts/ddh/study/pgt/madh/index.aspx Twitter: @dhpaulspence (English)/@hdpaulspence (castellano) --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 May 2017 14:27:03 -0400 From: Helen Davies Subject: Rochester Cultural Heritage Imaging Conference Dear all, The new collaboration between RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) and the University of Rochester that is now named "Rochester Cultural Heritage Imaging, Visualization, and Education" ("R-CHIVE") will be holding a small conference on 6/19-20th (6/19 at RIT, Tuesday 6/20 at the UR). The conference is intended to stimulate interest in the growing and important field of imaging to recover cultural heritage. The general areas of focus of the conference are best practice for imaging of cultural heritage and how studies of materials (parchment, papyrus, and ink) can help in the imaging and image processing. Confirmed speakers include Ira Rabin of Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing in Berlin and the Center for the Studies of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg, Chet Van Duzer, NEH-Mellon Fellow at the U.S. Library of Congress, and Michael Phelps of the Early Manuscripts Electronic Library. Everyone who is interested in the field is invited to attend. The conference has a small registration fee of $10 for students and $30 for faculty and staff to cover costs. Register at the "Conference" tab at www.r-chive.net Feel free to contact Helen Davies (hdavies2@ur.rochester.edu ) with any questions.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 22 May 2017 11:38:16 +0200 From: Willard McCarty Subject: aesthetics and technology In Humanist 31.29 I pointed to Eric Adler's argument in "When Humanists Undermine the Humanities" that the attempt to justify the humanities by use of social scientific criteria is a great mistake, that a return to aesthetics would give authority to arguments for what we do. Now I'd like to suggest something quite different via Alfred Gell's "The Technology of Enchantment and the Enchantment of Technology" (1992), rpt. in The Art of Anthropology (London: Athalone, 1999) -- which can be found online. In this essay Gell argues that for an anthropology of art to be possible, we must adopt a kind of disengagement with it parallel to what is done in the academic study of religion, from which faith is barred. When we do that, he continues, we are able to see that art is a technological practice that works as it does on us because enchantment is technological: we are amazed by skill which passes our understanding. Among other things Gell's argument suggests that a much better appeal of computing would be by striving not to conceal but to emphasise its techne. For the humanities as a whole it would suggest that the craftwork of works of art would be the better road ahead. Comments?

With maximum award amounts ranging from $50,000 (planning) to $350,000 (implementation), these grants support projects to preserve and create intellectual access to such collections as books, journals, manuscript and archival materials, maps, still and moving images, sound recordings, art, and objects of material culture. Awards also support the creation of reference works, online resources, and research tools of major importance to the humanities. Eligible activities are wide-ranging, often involving the use of digital methods. HCRR includes a new opportunity in 2017 to encourage collaboration between smaller and larger institutions. This Partnership/Mentorship Opportunity provides up to $60,000 for planning and pilot-level projects that could help to propel lasting collaborative relationships. These awards might be especially well suited for community-based cultural heritage initiatives but are not limited in geographic or topical scope. Further details, including links to the application guidelines and other resources, are available via the following Web article. _____________________________________________ The National Endowment for the Humanities is a grant-making agency of the United States (U.S.) federal government that supports projects in the humanities. U.S. nonprofit associations, institutions, and organizations are eligible applicants.

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. The panel proposal should provide an overview and the abstracts of 3-4 papers. Post-Conference Publication All authors who attend the conference will be invited to submit revised papers to the special issues of the following journals: New Mathematics and Natural Computation (World Scientific) Journal of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities (Taiwanese Association for Digital Humanities) Detailed information will be announced later.

The KnowRSH workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers working on the integration and creation of knowledge resources for Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities applications. In particular, KnowRSH aims at bringing together NLP researchers with historians, political scientists, philosophers, and researchers from infrastructure communities, such as CLARIN and DARIAH, ISKO and COST ENeL. The workshop is endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities (SIGHUM), DARIAH-EU Working Group for Lexical Resources as well as COST ENeL . =================== Scope and Topic =================== Big cultural heritage data present an unprecedented opportunity for the humanities that is reshaping conventional research methods. However, digital humanities have grown past the stage where the mere availability of digital data was enough as a demonstrator of possibilities. Knowledge resource modeling, development, enrichment and integration is crucial for associating relevant information in pools of digital material which are not only scattered across various archives, libraries and collections, but they also often lack relevant metadata. Within this research framework, NLP approaches originally stemming from lexico-semantic information extraction and knowledge resource representation, modeling, development and reuse have a pivotal role to play. From the NLP perspective, applications of knowledge resources for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities present numerous interesting research challenges that relate among others to the development of historical lexico-semantic sources and annotated corpora, addressing ambiguity and variation in historical sources and the development of knowledge resources for NLP tool adaptation purposes, using NLP techniques for semantic interlinking, mapping, and integration of existing knowledge resources. Moreover, a recently renewed interest in linguistic linked data approaches to language resources presents both a challenge and an opportunity for NLP researchers working in the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities domains, for linking cultural heritage and humanities data sources to linguistic linked data information. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: • Cultural and lexico-semantic knowledge resource development and enrichment • Knowledge resource data models • Linked data approaches for the Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities • Semantic linking of objects in digital libraries (libraries, archives, museums and any cultural heritage institution with digital collections available) • Deep annotation of documents in the Humanities • Cultural and lexico-semantic knowledge resource integration • Knowledge resources for NLP tools domain adaptation • Knowledge metadata standards & de-facto standards evolution and application • Dealing with variation and historical language use in developing and applying knowledge resources • Dealing with cultural and historical information ambiguity and underspecification =================== Information for authors =================== Authors are invited to submit papers on original, unpublished work in the topic area of the workshop, related use cases, or system demos. • Long papers should present completed work and may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, and any number of additional pages containing references only. • Short papers/demos can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to six (6) pages of content, and any number of additional pages containing references only. All submissions should be formatted using the ACL based stylesheets provided for RANLP. The reviewing process will be double-blind; the papers should not include the authors' names and affiliations, or any references to web sites, project names, etc., revealing the authors' identity. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, should be avoided. Authors should not use anonymous citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Double submission is acceptable, but authors will be asked to declare it at the time of submission. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and uploaded on the ACL Anthology. =================== Important Dates =================== Paper submission deadline: June 30, 2017 Notification of acceptance: July 28, 2017 Camera-ready papers due: August 20, 2017 KnowRSH workshop: September 7, 2017 [...] ============ Organisation ============ Kalliopi Zervanou (Co-chair) Utrecht University, The Netherlands Petya Osenova (Co-chair), Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Bulgaria Eveline Wandl-Vogt, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Austria Dan Cristea, "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University of Iasi, Romania --------------------------------------------------------- Kalliopi A.

POINTED OR POINTLESS? Recalibrating the Index In-Reply-To: This one is on photography but within the real of the digital so perhaps it will be of interest for the Humanist readers... Best wishes, Gabriele ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Damian Sutton > Date: 2017-05-22 14:14 GMT+01:00 > Subject: [CINEPHOTO] BOOK NOW! POINTED OR POINTLESS? Recalibrating the Index > To: CINEPHOTO@jiscmail.ac.uk POINTED OR POINTLESS? Recalibrating the Index The Photographer’s Gallery, London 10 June 2017 A symposium and forum on the index in contemporary photography and image-based practice, theory and culture BOOK NOW at https://pointedorpointless.wordpress.com/ Organised by Coventry University, Fachhochschule Potsdam and Middlesex University Organizing Committee: Lisa Andergassen (Fachhochschule Postdam) Paulius Petraitis (Middlesex University) Damian Sutton (Coventry University) The symposium “Pointed or Pointless? Recalibrating the Index” aims to reconsider the notion of the index, its history and present-day applicability. Some recent debates – which abandon strict definitions of analogue/digital and scrutinize fixed notions of truth and medium – are taken as an opportunity to readdress the notion in the 21st century. Deriving from the semiotic theory of American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce, the index has enjoyed a wide-reaching career. It has dominated photography’s definition as a medium for decades, justifying its specific “truth-claim”. With the rise of digital technologies the notion – in terms of a trace left behind by the photographed object on a material surface – has been challenged. Today, it serves as the distinguishing feature, which divides two states of the world (the real and the mediated) while at the same time connecting them. However this connection is not as linear as the media-ontological approach suggests, and has been recently discussed in terms of the “messy state of media”, “post- digital”, or “habitual media”. This complex situation asks for a re-evaluation of the notion of index – taking into account its complex historical existence; challenging it as an ontological tool by tackling the asserted gap between the “analogue” and the “digital”; and shifting the focus to an epistemological understanding.

The future exists in the present as a discourse and rhetoric, as a competition of visions and agendas that shape the potential of future innovations. Scenarios of the future are transformative since they direct scientific practices, influence political and economical decisions, and focus stakeholders' interests. The conference will highlight processes of knowledge production about technologies of the future as a central sociocultural aspect of technological development. The participants are invited to consider the concept of sociotechnical imaginaries (Sheila Jasanoff) as a set of cultural practices applied by communities in order to construct shared meanings of desired futures - and to reflect on the role of technology in them. These practices involve not only experts such as scientists and engineers, but also politicians, public intellectuals, writers, journalists, artists. Success of innovations and the design of particular technologies depend on the cultural legacy shared by these people, as well as detailed consideration of social, legal, ethical and aesthetic aspects. This perspective emphasizes the ways through which technologies and societies are co-constructed, and how cultural meanings and power relations are embedded in science and technology. To discuss these questions we invite theorists and practitioners whose work touches upon sociocultural aspects of technological change, including the fields of media and arts, foresight and policy, philosophy and cultural studies, history and sociology, linguistics and communication. The conference welcomes papers that address the following topics: * Philosophy of science and technology: The future as an epistemological problem, philosophy of technological utopias * Methods of future studies: STS (Science and Technology Studies), sociology of expectations, sociotechnical imaginaries; forms of "working with the future" through foresight, strategic planning, scenarios analysis, role playing * The language of technical change and futurology, history of concepts, descriptions of the unknown * Sociology of innovation: The politics of the production of novelty and relevance; social and psychological aspects of information and communication technologies as sites for imagined interactions * Ethical aspects of emerging technologies: Bioethics, roboethics, information ethics * Aesthetic dimensions of technological change: Science art, news media; representations of science and technology in literature and art, visual images of the future * Cultural history of technology: Technology and national identity; technologies as media of cultural transfer; sociocultural aspects of users' interaction with technology; appropriation and domestication of novel technologies * Digital Humanities: Making the human past fit for future generations * Archives of the future: Historical experience of forecasting and designing the future, museum exhibits, industrial heritage, industrial archaeology, buried and forgotten futures Publication: Conference materials (short papers and extended abstracts) will be published prior to the conference. Working languages of the conference are English and Russian. Participation in the conference is free of charge.

Many of you are here -- either in literal or virtual form. I confess I've been stealing ideas from everywhere, but here especially from Teresa Numerico and of course the Roman School of Informatica Umanistica. I'm particularly grateful to Desmond Schmidt for his help with the translation, and to Geoffrey Rockwell for suggesting important revisions. I'd like also to thank Paolo Granata, as he invited me in Toronto last October, where after my talk I met the WACC general secretary who asked me to write "something on DH" for them. So you know whom you need to blame if you don't like my representation of DH... The whole issue of the WACC journal will available online for free after the first three months of publication: http://www.waccglobal.org/resources/media-development I hope I can release online a copy of my article a little earlier. In the meanwhile, here it is the whole issue, FYEO! :-) All the best Domenico *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1495601223_2017-05-24_domenico.fiormonte@gmail.com_31636.2.pdf _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, 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 C74DD1B4C; Thu, 25 May 2017 07:07:11 +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 D2AF41B45; Thu, 25 May 2017 07:07:10 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B50EE1B46; Thu, 25 May 2017 07:07:07 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170525050707.B50EE1B46@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 25 May 2017 07:07:07 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.52 microfilm to digital 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: <20170525050711.18600.75216@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 52.

The microfilm is held at a small African university library that lacks funding, so inexpensive is a key term. for what i know from an inquiry of 3 years ago, microfilm readers able to digitize the images are definitely not cheap. what about sending the microfilms to an institution which has such microfilm reader? this said, the number of images per microfilm and the quality needed in the conversion from analog to digital are relevant to envisage the best possible solution best maurizio -- anche senza volerlo si lasciano sempre delle tracce rispondi delle tue tracce davanti ai tuoi simili R.

Assuming labour is fairly cheap--in that the university can either allocate an existing member of staff or a student to the work--the main obstacle is getting the use of a microfilm scanner. These come up for sale on Ebay ever so often, but they are bulky and fragile devices and I'm guessing that taking a chance on getting one that works well and doesn't get damaged in transit is not attractive to the university. With these considerations in mind, my best suggestion is finding the nearest library that has a microfilm scanner and, having secured the agreement to use it, sending a member of staff or a student there with a suitcase full of films and some big USB sticks.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 26 May 2017 18:34:55 +0000 From: Ray Siemens Subject: FW: UPEI CRC opportunity In-Reply-To: Canada Research Chair: Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture Tier 2 (SSHRC) The University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) invites a highly engaged academic to join our research team in the role of Canada Research Chair (CRC) in Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture. The successful candidate for this position will have a program of research that fits within the broad, interdisciplinary category of the Social Studies of Science; they will have extensive and varied experience with digital humanities tools (including GIS or alternative mapping software), both within their own scholarly work and within the classroom; they will have a strong record of teaching communication and leadership to undergraduate and graduate students, and a clear understanding of how their own academic research intersects with their teaching of these subjects. Preference will be given to those candidates who have developed a research profile that suggests obvious future collaboration with members of the UPEI research community. Our Vision: We seek a dynamic researcher who engages in independent and collaborative multidisciplinary research who is recognized by their peers as a potential leader in areas of increasing national and international significance and of emerging importance at UPEI. UPEI has identified experiential learning as one of it pillars within UPEI's Strategic Plan. This CRC position is situated within the innovative new program in Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture (Faculty of Arts) to maximize the benefit that undergraduate students will gain from the expertise, experience, and experiential learning opportunities provided by the successful candidate. Our focus: The Faculty of Arts’ new Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture (ACLC) program is designed to play a central role in the revitalization of liberal arts education at UPEI. Interdisciplinary in nature, the ACLC program will encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration in teaching and in the creation of research-based, community-embedded projects. It is within this context that a Tier 2 CRC with a strong record of combining collaboratively-based research with the teaching of communication and leadership skills and theories is sought. A core feature of UPEI’s strategic plan, experiential learning lies at the heart of the ACLC program. A Tier 2 CRC with an interest in the innovative delivery of Social Studies of Science curriculum through the knowledge translation involved in multi-site digital humanities projects will provide students with a variety of opportunities to combine their academic studies with hands-on technical work in community and professional contexts. A CRC with research interests in science studies will be in a strong position to contribute to the Faculty of Arts’ relatively new program in the Social Studies of Science – an area of exploration in the Arts at UPEI that brings together faculty from History, Anthropology, Sociology, English, Environmental Studies, Philosophy, and Diversity and Social Justice Studies. The Social Studies of Science program is currently working to increase cross-faculty (Arts-Science) collaboration. Ideally, the new CRC would also be able to contribute to some of the current major interdisciplinary initiatives at UPEI, key amongst which are the expansion of our Environment Studies research capacity, and our undertaking to increase our knowledge base and research profile relating to Indigenous experience. Applicant requirements: The CRC in Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture will be a tenure-stream appointment at the rank of Assistant or Associate Professor, conditional on the successful applicant being approved as a Tier II Canada Research Chair by the CRC Secretariat. The Canada Research Chairs Program has been established by the Government of Canada to enable Canadian universities to foster and enhance their role as world-class centres of research excellence. Tier 2 chairs are intended for exceptional emerging scholars. Applicants who are more than 10 years from having earned their highest degree (and where career breaks exist, such as maternity, parental or extended sick leave, clinical training, etc.) may have their eligibility for a Tier 2 chair assessed through the program’s Tier 2 justification process. Further information about the CRC program and nominee eligibility is available at http://www.chairs.gc.ca. To be qualified, a candidate must have a PhD and have developed a strong, collaborative research program that will overlap well with the objectives of the Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture program, in an area of study associated with the Social Studies of Science. A record of attracting competitive research funding and mentoring students, and the demonstrated potential to assume a leadership role at UPEI are essential requirements for the successful candidate. Preference will be given to those candidates who have developed research profiles that connect well with current research initiatives at UPEI. Visit the UPEI Human Resources Academic Positions web site for the link to the Canada Research Chair in Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture posting: http://www.upei.ca/hr/academic-positions. Review of applications will begin on 16 June 2017 and will continue until a nominee is selected. Applicants are requested to submit a CV, a cover letter that addresses research and teaching interests, and the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of at least three references to research@upei.ca. Please include your name in the file name.

The program is designed to connect the written, oral and visual communication skills, critical thinking, and cultural awareness acquired during a Liberal Arts education to the world beyond academia. Technical skills, work-integrated learning, and career-related mentoring are key components of the program’s design. It has a simple, tight structure to facilitate easy combination with other majors and minors. Students enrolled in the ACLC Major program will develop superior analytical expertise, an excellent base of practical communication, leadership, and technical skills, and the sort of cultural awareness that will serve them well in a constantly changing global context. The progression of ACLC courses combines skills training and knowledge building, with opportunities for experimental and practical application. Communication: The development of excellent skills and understandings of a wide range of modes of human communication are central to the program’s structure and outcomes. The aim of this program is to develop students’ abilities to convey their thoughts well, and to develop excellent tools for marketing their own abilities. Leadership: During the course of any undergraduate degree in the Arts, some students will develop leadership skills. However, most Arts degrees do not make the development of these skills a priority. In this program, exploring the history, theory, and practice of leadership will be central to the students’ undergraduate experience. Culture: With the exception of a few courses that are designed to teach a set of technical skills, the topics explored in the ACLC courses will largely be associated with the development of students’ cultural awareness. A key aim of this program is to empower ACLC graduates to effectively put their leadership and communication skills into practice within whatever community, work place, or global cultural contexts they may find themselves. The successful CRC will be the second hire to be situated directly within the ACLC program. As of 1 July 2017, there will a Chair in L. M. Montgomery Studies and Applied Communication, Leadership, and Culture located in the ACLC program. The new Montgomery-ACLC hire combines an interdisciplinary focus on humanities-oriented Literary Studies with digital humanities methodologies. The new CRC will bring a complementary science-humanities/social science focus to the ACLC program. Working together with the program’s director and visioning committee, the proposed ACLC CRC and the Montgomery-ACLC Chair will constitute a vibrant academic focus for this new educational initiative in the Arts. The Faculty of Arts at UPEI The Faculty of Arts is the largest and most intellectually diverse faculty at the University of Prince Edward Island with 67 tenure-stream academics. It contains 29 distinct undergraduate programs, and one interdisciplinary Master of Arts program in Island Studies. The majority of the students who take courses in the Faculty of Arts continue to select courses in traditional fields of study, such as English, history, economics, sociology, anthropology, or a modern language. Likewise, most Arts faculty continue to work within the disciplines they were trained in while undertaking their doctoral studies. Increasingly this traditional, discipline-defined base upon which UPEI’s Arts Faculty is situated is being supplemented and reshaped by interdisciplinary collaborations and innovations, spurred on by the faculty’s thriving culture of mutual respect and collegial interaction. Members of UPEI’s Arts faculty have been nationally and internationally recognized for their excellent scholarship and teaching. Arts faculty have received numerous prizes and awards for their scholarly publications and collaborative research projects, they have served as presidents and in other executive roles on national academic committees, and their educational leadership has been recognized through a wide variety of teaching awards, including three prestigious 3M National Teaching Fellowships. The University of Prince Edward Island UPEI is located on a 136-acre (55 hectare) campus in Charlottetown, the capital of Prince Edward Island. Established in 1969 through the amalgamation of St. Dunstan’s University and Prince of Wales College, UPEI is the province’s only university. As a public liberal arts and science institution, UPEI is committed to encouraging and fostering critical, creative, and independent thinking; it offers a rich blend of academic programs in Arts, Science, Business, Education, Nursing, and Veterinary Medicine to approximately 4,600 full- and part-time students. UPEI is consistently ranked as one of Canada’s top primarily undergraduate universities. It is home to an increasingly diverse student body, many talented educators, a thriving research community that includes more than a dozen funded research chairs, and a growing network of successful alumni. The University is committed to facilitating the ongoing growth and success of its faculty members as researchers, and to the education and training of new generations of critical thinkers, researchers, and scholars across the full range of intellectual, scholarly, and creative endeavours. It is grounded in and strongly connected to Prince Edward Island’s communities, industries, governments, and not-for-profit sectors. UPEI has seen significant research growth over the last decade. This growth has been spurred by expanded research infrastructure, enhanced federal support for research, and the presence of a dynamic faculty. The areas of research pursued at UPEI cluster within three themes: Health, Environment, and Community and Culture. Within each cluster, and at their intersections, we find the excellence of the solitary researcher working independently, as well as dynamic collaborative research teams. Together these themes provide an integrating perspective of our emerging and existing areas of excellence. UPEI’s eleven research constellations provide a rich opportunity to foster on-going dialogue and collaborative research. Examples of research groups at UPEI are found at http://www.upei.ca/research/institutes-centres-and-groups. Information on research and researchers at UPEI can be found at http://research.upei.ca/ or http://www.islandscholar.ca/.

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. Overall, the application of automatic NLP techniques to unstructured text in scientific literature and medical records enables life scientists to find and exploit this data. 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.

Best regards, -- Marjorie Burghart CR CNRS - UMR 5648 Beyond Editing: Advanced Solutions and Technologies Summer School Prague – 4-8 Sept. 2017 Organised by the Faculty of Arts, Charles University Prague, and CNRS CIHAM UMR 5648, with the support of DARIAH’s Humanities at Scale programme Call for Applications This Summer School targets Humanities scholars, librarians and students who have already acquired a working knowledge of digital scholarly editing, especially TEI encoding, and wish to go further. If the encoding is a crucial step, that translates the modelisation of a text or document into a computer-readable form, scholars need to put this encoding to good use by displaying, processing and analysing it. To this end, it is necessary to master other technologies, which are often more difficult to learn, with much rarer training opportunities. During this week-long school, the participants will learn how to display, transform and process a scholarly XML edition, with the aim of becoming able to work on their own editions with the latest digital methods. The week will be organised as follows: a “main course” (all the morning sessions), centered on XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation), a powerful language especially designed to work with XML; a few “sides”, or workshops, will be offered during the afternoon sessions, to introduce the participants to more specialised technologies and solutions allowing them to enhance a scholarly edition (geographical data, linguistic tools, network analysis, etc.) We invite applications from scholars, students (Master level and beyond), librarians, archivists and other research professionals involved in the production and valorisation of scholarly digital editions. The selection committee particularly invites applicants from Central and Eastern Europe. Bursaries The participation in the Summer school programme is free, and in addition, selected applicants will receive a bursary: DARIAH’s Humanities at Scale programme will cover the cost of their travel and accommodation, up to a maximum of 500 EUR (participants will be refunded, up to 500 EUR, after the training school and upon presentation of the receipts). Venue The Summer school will be hosted by the Faculty of Arts, Charles University, in the historical centre of Prague. How to apply?

Submission will be via a Google form by June 7th: https://goo.gl/forms/jOvqfgLExWhvxab63 (Images can be referenced in the form of external links). The submission form requests permission to make your submission part of an openly available online resource with a CC-BY-NC licence. Projects or researchers unable to participate are invited to submit a summary for inclusion in this resource (see below). Successful submissions will be shared with all participants in advance of the conference. Participants will rank the position papers with a view to their potential to advance work in the field if taken up by the LOD community. The authors of the four top-ranked proposals will be asked to present a short pecha-kucha-style talk to kick off the workshop. After a short discussion period, participants will then divide into working groups to strategize about how the ideas might be advanced and come back to the larger group with next steps. All participants will regroup for a final discussion and future planning.

The 70 year-old fear of automation has, as we all know, not proven groundless, as Shoshana Zuboff and others have demonstrated. The life of a musician is in general not an easy one; many find themselves working as musical hacks, doing just the sort of thing that software can now do. Can we say that the net gain has been worth the cost?

They are relevant to this list because as you mention, they call for a broader understanding of the formation of meaning, one that includes both « Zoe » (all forms of life) and computing technologies. Another exponent of the movement, Rosi Braidotti, explains in some depth the philosophical genealogy of post-humanism in two lectures she gave recently at Yale (Available here and here ). She repeats the mantra you quote many time, in s a slightly longer form: « We’re all in this together but we’re not one and the same ». Interestingly, she also explicitly mentions the digital humanities as one body of research which contains the seed of the post-humanist stance she calls for. But I’ve also been wondering how exactly the digital humanities fits in her model. My guess is that she sees in it both a research method taking seriously the fact that computing shapes the construction of meaning on its own right, so to say, and a welcome collaboration on equal terms between the humanities and computing science. Both Haraway and Braidotti call for a post-anthropocentric turn in the humanities, and arguably they see the digital humanities as being part of it. So, shall we call ourselves post-humanists yet ?

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 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.

Gardner ’69 Magic Project in the Humanities Council) Often overlooked, handbooks, protocols, and manuals are key tools in the making, preserving, and sharing of knowledge. Across editorial offices, artisanal workshops, religious schools, culinary institutes, and biomedical laboratories, instructional and reference texts codify the knowledge of a working community, with an eye to communicating what a new practitioner needs to know. This conference will address how handbooks, protocols, manuals, catalogues and related instructional or reference media have contributed to the standardization, codification, transmission, and revision of knowledge in diverse fields. How are practices and protocols written down, distributed or preserved, and how are objects or processes named, registered or classified? What kind of credit accompanies the development or compilation of methods or reference literature? When and why do certain books become commercially successful or canonical, and others obsolete? How does their circulation relate to the commodification of required materials, or to more informal forms of exchange? Possible fields and sites of scrutiny will range from the alchemical workshop to the 20th century laboratory, or from the maintenance of technologies to medical diagnosis, language acquisition, government regulation, natural history writing or museum inventories, but is by no means restricted to these examples. We invite proposals from the history of science and knowledge broadly construed as well as from science and technology studies, the history of arts and crafts, the history of the book and media or related fields. Contributions will cover a wide geographical and temporal range – from antiquity to the 20th century – in order to sound out, put simply, how knowledge relates to texts, and writing, reading and learning to doing. To broaden the scope of an existing core group of scholars, we are particularly interested in case studies from humanities, technologies, applied sciences or manufacture and industry, as well as in those with a scope reaching beyond North America and Europe. Titles and abstracts of max. 400 words should be sent to creager@princeton.edu and mathias.grote@hu-berlin.de by July 15th, 2017. We expect to be able to cover transportation and accommodation costs of conference participants. --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 30 May 2017 09:42:37 -0400 From: Dr Samita Nandy Subject: Webinar on Op-Ed Writing Join our CUNY Graduate School of Journalism conference and continue exclusive conversation with chair Josh Nathan in our free post-conference webinar on op-ed writing!

Whilst appearing oxymoronic, distracted modes of engagement have invited the coining of such terms as 'flickering man', 'continuous partial attention' and 'ambient awareness.' One's engagement in social media (however distracted) is also routinely measured. Klout scores and similar are often called 'vanity metrics' because they measure success or 'success theater' in social media. The notion of vanity metrics implies at least three projects: a critique of metrics concerning both the object of measurement as well as their capacity to measure unobtrusively or only to encourage performance. The second is a corrective interface project, for users are continually distracted by number badges calling to be clicked; there is a movement afoot (initiated by John Seely Brown) for so-called 'encalming technology'. The talk, however, focuses on the third project, i.e., how one may rework the metrics. In all, I make four moves. In an application of digital methods, which seeks to repurpose online devices and their methods for social research, I propose to repurpose Klout scores and other (media monitoring) engagement measures for social research. Building upon 'alt metrics' for science, an alternative metrics project, I propose another one, albeit for social issue spaces rather than for science. In order to do so, I call for a change in the networks under study by social researchers, that is, a shift from the social network (with its vanity metrics) to the issue network. The change of networks (so to speak) enables concentrating on the opportunities for an alternative metrics for the social (together with social issue engagement), which I call critical analytics. Critical analytics would seek to measure the 'otherwise engaged,' or other modes of engagement (than vanity) such as dominant voice, concern, commitment, positioning and alignment, thereby furnishing digital methods with a conceptual and applied research agenda concerning online metrics.

This is what these algorithms do. In ways that is interesting, in many more ways I suppose it is just scratching at the surface of some essence of creativity. I am reminded of people using apps like Enlight and Prisma to recreate the craft that Van Gogh and Warhol mastered to reproduce real life pictures in Van Gogh or Warhol style. No doubt those apps are just trickster gimmicks to snoop on their users' behavior, but that is not my point. Some elusive net gain I think is hidden in that kind of use that learning algorithms provide: enjoying and recreating the very craft and style the artist developed. At the push of a button we now see our cat as Picasso might have pictured it. That is an enjoyable gimmick, an aesthetic performance. And no doubt some artist will someday produce complex combined styles re-using the automated styles that have been learned by algorithms to amaze us with some new form of art, different enticing poetics and aesthetics. There's much to gain. But that is a promise. What is under pressure all the while meanwhile is current modes of creativity. Deep learning algorithms reproduce craft, but as far as I can tell until now not creativity. They result in admirable imitations. But they do not seem to do the chance(?) trick of finding previously untried combinations that for some reason deeply confuse, enchant, worry, or enlighten. Learning algorithms still miss out on the serendipitous element involved with creativity. Allow me to lift an example from the wonderful book by Julianne Nyhan and Andrew Flinn[1] that I am currently—supposed to be, I'm afraid I have to admit—reviewing. They interview Judy Malloy who recounts how she chanced into the idea of non linear narrative. This was all to do with her having a child that wanted to play with the same drawing board as the one she used to lay out her sheets to develop plot lines. Thus for sheer practical reasons she started to use index cards to collect plot elements. And well if you start re-sorting index cards you chance on the possibility of non linear narratives. Now, go pattern learning that. This however, is not some Socratic plea that human creativity is damned and doomed if we continue to try to outsource our creativity and livelihood to the writing of code and the computing metal. I have no doubt that learning algorithms and artificial intelligence will be able at some point to be creative, and that they will spur many a creative process, new forms of art and artefacts. It is just that the current tide of machine learning seems to be aimed at the low hanging fruit of reproducing production patterns, which is a business interest not a humanistic one. So, if you ask if we will find out more about human artefacts as creativity, the answer for me is: yes, provided we turn our computational thinking towards that question. Will it be worth the cost? No, certainly not if we kill all the artists in the process. But as with all technology, that is a choice. Unfortunately a choice that is almost not at all ours to make. All the best --Joris [1] Julianne Nyhan and Andrew Flinn. “Computation and the Humanities: Towards an Oral History of Digital Humanities”. Springer Open, 2016.

This paper explains how I converted publicly-available data on AHRC-funded projects to Linked Data, facilitating detailed queries to identify potential case studies. I will discuss several of these (Pelagios 4, SNAP:DRGN, and STAR, STELLAR and SENESCHAL) from a user perspective, as well as evaluating the usability of the linked AHRC data. Additionally, I will present my initial findings and their potential implications for future projects. digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-01sm.html ALL WELCOME Valeria Vitale Institute of Classical Studies, Research Fellow Senate House, Malet Street London WC1E 7HU Pelagios Commons Community Manager commons.pelagios.org http://commons.pelagios.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 84BF91BBF; Thu, 1 Jun 2017 07:07:06 +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 6ADCD1BB4; Thu, 1 Jun 2017 07:07:04 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B634F1BA2; Thu, 1 Jun 2017 07:07:00 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170601050700.B634F1BA2@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 07:07:00 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.74 pubs: Arpanet; institutional capacity 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: <20170601050705.21318.13963@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 74.

Digital Technology, Culture and Society (Camille Paloque-Berges & Valérie Schafer (eds.)). Read more here https://web90.hypotheses.org/3755 This call for papers aims at revisiting the history of ARPANET, its genesis, development, heritage, memories and the writing of its history 50 years after the first four nodes came into service. ARPANET’s story is today part of the Internet’s official heritage, as a first crucial step in its development. Seminal research, such as Janet Abbate’s Inventing the Internet (1999) or Alexandre Serres’ Aux sources d’Internet: l’émergence d’ARPANET (2000) has extensively covered its history. However, the 50th anniversary of ARPANET provides an occasion to reflect on existing histories, to open the debate to new perspectives and approaches. What have these pioneering researchers provided and what lessons have they taught us in terms of studying the history of computer networks? When considering ARPANET as a first step towards the Internet: how did this determine – and is still determining – our current understanding of the Internet and of the ARPANET? What other chronologies and territories involving the ARPANET can be advanced? What is left to explore and discover in the ARPANET’s history? If the ARPANET is dead today, are its heritage and spirit still alive and if so, how? Suggested topics: * The ARPANET’s inspirations: previous concepts, models, theories, technologies * Development of computer networks from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s: society, culture, politics and economics in the ARPANET’s times (from a local, national and international perspective) * The place of ARPANET in the history of ARPA/DARPA or funding agencies more generally * The place of ARPANET within the history of military networks * Trajectories of ARPANET’s developments: from experiments to achievements, through mistakes and failures * ARPANET’s communities: from developers to users * ARPANET’s hardware and software within the history of computers and computing * Famous and less-known protagonists or witnesses of ARPANET * Spaces, places, maps, territories, geographies, and geopolitics of ARPANET * Communicating with, through, and about ARPANET * ARPANET as a model: reception and influence on other networks and/or in other countries * ARPANET’s governance and architecture * ARPANET and infrastructures for digital information * ARPANET’s cultures: perimeters, specificities, limits … * The history of networks shaping collaborative work * Writing ARPANET’s history: critical historiography, methodology, epistemological issues * New discoveries in the history of ARPANET * ARPANET’s heritage in the present Internet and digital cultures Of course, we encourage and welcome other topics and perspectives on ARPANET’s history too. The proposals are to be submitted to camillepaloqueberges@gmail.com valerieschafer@wanadoo.fr explicitly mentioning CFP ARPANET. They need to fit in one page, detail an explicit angle of analysis and outline, and integrate a short bibliography. Successful authors will be invited to submit then a full paper through the editorial system, which will undergo full peer review and will determine acceptance of papers for publication. Deadline for the submission of proposals: October 15th 2017 Notification of proposal acceptance: November 15th 2017 Submissions of the full paper (6000-8000 words): April 15th 2018 Feedback based on reviews: June 30th 2018 Deadline for Revisions: October 15th 2018 Internet Histories: Digital Technology, Culture and Society is an international, interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal concerned with research on the cultural, social, political and technological histories of the internet and associated digital cultures.

Technique is developed after the fact -- it is subservient to that goal. Munch's The Scream is a case in point, I think. His distortion of line and use of color all seem directed toward the goal of the most intense expression of a single emotion. As a result, I think it's fruitless to talk about machine creativity in any way parallel to human creativity until machines feel in some way analogous to human feeling. I think the problem is exacerbated when we consider how much human feeling proceeds from our organic biology. I think it is safe to say that creativity is a function of organic biology to the extent that emotion is a function of human biology. Machine creativity operates only on the level of technique for that reason. Machines don't think in a way directed or motivated by will and feeling. What's worse, too often their developers think that is a virtue, as if valueless thought was even possible, or as if their own ways of thinking about their own machines were not also expressions of feeling. I think if we were to think about machine creativity -- so long as machines remain non-biological -- we might begin by thinking that since machines operate on the level of technique, their most creative expressions might be ways of working out technical problems. The next step in our understanding of machine creativity, then, is understanding what it identifies as a problem and why. I would guess desirable features to it might reflect its own programming, which is an idea extensible to human creativity to an extent. I think human programming differs, however, in that our programming is more slipshod, unpredictable, and conflicting, and is influenced by an external biological matrix that inescapably interacts with our internal biological matrix at all times. We are features of our own environment. That can make people either very annoying or very fun. Either way, as a result, choice and motivation is required for human action. Machine programming, on the other hand, couldn't function under those conditions. I would recommend to anyone to try creating something within the arts to really understand these components of human creativity. Try writing a poem, short story, or novel, or try painting something. I do of course recognize that human creativity expresses itself in other ways. My father was an electrical engineer and enjoyed design for that reason -- it gave him a creative outlet. But I think that was human creativity in a different mode. He had to create something that functioned to serve a specific purpose within specific space and energy limitations. This kind of creativity is more like working on a puzzle. Painting a painting is like working on a puzzle, as is writing a poem, but those creative expressions have the added elements of an -emphasis- on design motivated by emotion. I could see machines working out the first kind of creativity but not yet the second. Jim R Dr. James Rovira Chair and Associate Prof. of English Mississippi College 200 S.

In-Reply-To: <20170601050801.E83F41BAB@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard Thanks to Project Gutenberg and ibooks which has a search function, I think your quote is from Edward Johnston's work: Writing and Illuminating and Lettering (1906). But the phrasing is importantly different. Here is the full sentence: Within the limits of our craft we cannot have too much freedom; for too much fitting and planning makes the work lifeless and it is conceivable that in the finest work the Rules are concealed and that, for example, a MS might be most beautiful without ruled lines and methodical arrangement. The word "freedom" comes up 61 times in this text and is one of Johnston's main criteria for the aesthetic value of his craft.

There is no greater challenge before Latin or any other historical language -- this is where our best people should devote their energies if we are to survive. The use of corpora in smart ways is essential to any strategy. Latin has the biggest student population (> 600,000 in Germany last time I checked) but the same methods are relevant to Greek and all historical languages. This is a big opportunity for Latin and other languages -- and we can't expect this level of funding in the US and probably no place outside of Germany. Clearly this position requires a high level of German. https://www.personalabteilung.hu-berlin.de/stellenausschreibungen/wissenschaftliche-r-mitarbeiter-in-mit-vorauss-vollzeit-e-13-tv-l-hu-drittmittelfinanzierung-befristet-fuer-3-jahre Aufgabengebiet Wiss.

Registration for the event is now open at https://kay-day.eventbrite.co.uk Professor Christian Kay (1940-2016) enriched English Language and Linguistics at the University of Glasgow for 47 years, and leaves us a tremendous intellectual legacy – not only in the form of the one-of-a-kind Historical Thesaurus of English, which she saw completed in 2009, but also in a variety of other subjects from corpus linguistics to colour studies. This one-day symposium celebrates Christian's life and work with wide-ranging talks on the meaning and history of the English language from fourteen international speakers. Our aim is to honour Christian's enthusiastic involvement in so many fields by hosting papers by a selection of her friends and colleagues who share that enthusiasm. Some speakers at the event include Kathryn Allan (UCL), Dawn Archer (Manchester Metropolitan), John Corbett (Macau), Philip Durkin (OED), Catherine Mulvenna (Glasgow), Jane Roberts (London), Louise Sylvester (Westminster) and Kate Wild (OED). The day also has an early career session showcasing the work of some UK and international PhD students whose research uses materials created by Christian. Details of the start and end time and venue are listed on the online registration page, and a full programme will follow there shortly. We hope to see you there!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 3 Jun 2017 19:40:46 -0400 (EDT) From: lachance@chass.utoronto.ca Subject: Nuances of the poverty of means In-Reply-To: <20170603034410.8DE9F1A82@digitalhumanities.org> Willard While reading this collection of essays, I came across a passage that put me in mind of digital editions and the ability to turn bells and whistles on and off at ease. It also makes me wonder about the link between experience and frugal resources. Philip Stratford "Translation as Creation" in Figures in a Ground: Canadian Essays on Modern Literature Collected in Honor of Sheila Watson edited by Diane Bessai and David Jackel. It is preferable to struggle to find the right word in your own mind and in your own vocabulary than to rely on the push-button response of thesaurus or dictionary. It may even be preferable, since dictionaries are sometimes indispensible [sic], to use a modest rather than a too extensive one, just to insure a close and personal engagement in the search. When I first read this, I took "extensive" as "expensive". And my big two volume OED (with the magnifying glass) informed me that "indispensible" is an obsolete form for "indispensable" and which here serves as an indice of the Canadian pronunciation. BTW the Oxford English Dictionary in my possession was purchased at a cut rate price since "the definitive record of the English language" has migrated to a subscription service online and many persons have been offloading their old paper behemoths. The point that Stratford is making is that a poverty of means induces a valuable outcome when mediated by skill (in internalizing the resources of target and source languages). The other point that he is making is that there is a personal stake in the enjeu. -- 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 377E3CFA; Mon, 5 Jun 2017 09:44:04 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 52FDE1BFF; Mon, 5 Jun 2017 09:44:02 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6C6C81BCE; Mon, 5 Jun 2017 09:43:58 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170605074358.6C6C81BCE@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2017 09:43:58 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.81 events: Digital Culture Seminar (Pisa) 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: <20170605074403.15931.10210@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 81.

These tools and techniques enable researchers to pursue new forms of inquiry and new questions and bring more attention to—and cultivate broader interest in—traditional humanities and humanities data. This paper outlines a practical framework for capacity building to develop institutional digital humanities support for IT staff, librarians, administrators, and faculty with administrative responsibilities. The working group chairs, Quinn Dombrowski (University of California, Berkeley) and Joan Lippincott (CNI) will also be presenting on the paper and how it can be used at the Digital Humanities 2017 conference this August.

He recalled the millenarian hopes for it during his youth and contrasted them with what has become of it in the hands of those with evil intentions. His conclusion (spoken in sorrow) was that "We are not good enough as people to have an unrestricted network". We need "a battalion of mindful editors" to regulate it, he said. Perhaps neither seems surprising now; once, as O'Hagan remarked, the Internet seemed to many a cure for the world's problems, as indeed the telephone did in its early days. But the darkness visible of terrorism isn't the only sign of the times. I think, for example, of that unmoderated online forum recently shouted down during a discussion of the word 'motherboard' and then shut down to figure out where from here. Yes, professionally we live in a sheltered world, but the problems at the root of seemingly minor annoyances are very real -- and applicable out there, where people run mortal risks. Consider that the "battalion of mindful editors" requires the recruitment and training our universities should be able to give, indeed should be giving. But they are crippled, as social anthropologist Marilyn Strathern wrote in 1992, by an Enterprise Culture which "like a slick that smothers everything in shine" gives us workplaces "where students are supposed to mean numbers, public accountability must be interpreted as resource management, and education has to appear as a service for customers" [*].

The Restoration Government regulated and ended up running the press for precisely the same reasons Theresa May wants to do it now - a toxic mix of self interest, cynicism, and an assumption that people need to be told what to do and how to think. It didn't succeed in the long run, but the damage was still done. In the meantime, *Cui bono?*, as we must always ask ourselves.

We as a society, and indeed we in the universities, have failed to address the need for new visions of a meaningful life in an post-work society. This is most critical in the lives of young men facing a future on zero hours contracts and precarious welfare benefits as 'work' and the old models of a life well lived, ebb away. I don't believe that, this time round, new technology will replace all the old jobs with new jobs. I don't claim to know whether 40% or 70% of jobs will be automated out of existence - but I think we'd be wise to plan on at least 40% going, and start thinking seriously about how we organise society in that event, and how we deal with people's need for a sense of purpose and worth.

But they are crippled they are crippled as the whole humanities (be they digital ar not) field is crippled: because it seems that "we" as society want to contrast the crisis our world is facing by giving up with humanities. and it seems from the choices which are done everyday that "we" as society really think that a competent, deep, sensible word on the crisis of our world is coming and will come from engineers, or biologists, or astrophysicists. "sutor ne ultra crepidam!" (sorry for the Latin citation but it is in its very place). it's humanities which have a strategical knowledge about clashes of civilizations, about collaboration among people, about the interpretation of history, about the way people represent their troubles, ... can our society, our world, give up with all this? unfortunately, it seems that the answer is "yes". so in my view it's possible that we need "battalion of mindful editors" but much more we need a strategical view of the present and the near future which is dramatically lacking in what politicians say be they in UK, Italy, US, ... a view which is embodied in the whole ensemble of humanities maurizio -- lo immagino quando, alla fine, capisce che quella porta non si aprirà  più, perché lui aveva tutte le chiavi cognitive, linguistiche, e storiche per capire cosa stava accadendo Paola Regeni ------- la biblioteca digitale del latino tardo: www.digiliblt.uniupo.it ------- Maurizio Lana Università  del Piemonte Orientale, Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici piazza Roma 36 - 13100 Vercelli tel. 0039-347-7370925 --[5]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 16:16:14 +0200 From: Domenico Fiormonte Subject: Re: 31.83 not good enough In-Reply-To: <20170606090332.A71B01B4B@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, I'm not sure if your email implied that we should start censoring/controlling the internet in order to prevent terrorism. I hope you did not mean to say that. I think the formula "more control of the internet = less terrorism" has proved to be false: https://www.newamerica.org/international-security/policy-papers/do-nsas-bulk-surveillance-programs-stop-terrorists/ Besides, I'm afraid the "battalion of mindful editors" is alredy there. As for UK, just a reminder: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/feb/06/gchq-mass- internet-surveillance-unlawful-court-nsa "And yet nobody, at least in Britain, seems to care." (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/03/edward- snowden-files-john-lanchester) This is an entertaining and yet credible narrative of how the whole system works (thanks to Geoffrey Rockwell for the link): http://www.they-know.org/en Perhaps who should be questioned are our governments. Not just because we don't know how are they are using the infinite amount of information they collect every day, but precisely because they gave up education, culture, and public media. This is the problem: we're loosing control of our future, not of our streets. I would like to remind that These are dark times, but we, as digital humanists, should be start looking at the dark sides of the tools we use every day. I've been saying for a long time now that the digital is political. But it is also about human discourse. I was trained as a philologist, and I believe that the Post-Truth discourse is also the result of a change of platform/support. A philological perversion (?). Our scope as humanists should be to expose and unmask these knowledge-shaping processes and phenomena, and try to direct them towards more transparent, more equitable and more human aims. Censorship/control/surveillance of our communications will not help us. It never did. Domenico p.s.

The humanities community should know better than most the unhappy outcomes of book burning and attempts at the suppression of ideas pre-Internet. Is there some reason for believing book burning and suppression of ideas/speech will have a different outcome with the Internet? I wasn't surprised at Theresa May's call, but assumed she was a random failure of the British educational system. Hearing similar sentiments echoed by you and Andrew O'Hagan, her position looks less random. Where is the humanist challenge to reading terrorist literature = acts of terrorism? Similar specious arguments have been made about rock-n-roll, violent video games, pornography, books about homosexuals, bi-racial relationships, etc. How is Theresa May's any different? Humanists should challenge, resist and subvert any and all regulation of the Internet. Otherwise find jack boots and a brown shirt in your size. Hope you are having a great week!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 17:19:32 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 31.67 automated musicianship ... In-Reply-To: <20170531055338.F39D61B65@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, May I add to Joris' and James' thoughts on automated musicianship, following Henry Schaffer's pointer to "Computers Are The New Composers." Your two consequences: (1) more human composers of music will be put out of work than have already; (2) we will find out more than we already know about music as a creative activity. are not, I think, necessary ones. I'll begin with the second. For attempts to build computational composing systems to tell us anything about how humans compose music, the work requires, I would say, approaches like David Cope's EMI (Experiments in Musical Intelligence). He started this in 1981, as a response to composer's block, [1]. Essentially, what he did was to develop a computational representation of compositional style, and then built a computational mechanisms that used this style representation to generate new music "in the style of." See the EMI "Vivaldi" (Option 1) on the webpage Henry pointed us to, for example, and compare this with some real Vivaldi (Option 2) [2]. Over the years, Cope compiled a large database of different composing styles that EMI could use to make its music. In the 1990s, Cope built Emily Howell, a program that uses EMI to generate music, but which has a user interface that allowed him (or others) to adjust the work of the EMI part, using musical notation or comments in English, to "teach" it to compose music more to his liking. Then, from about 2003, Cope set upon a yet more radical path. He kept all the EMI compositions, but discarded the styles database. He then gave collections of these EMI compositions to the Emily Howell program, and, again using its interface, guided it towards new styles and kind of compositions, see [3] for the real details of all this. David Cope's work with EMI generated controversy, and some opposition, but I think this and his later work counts as some of the most significant, and certainly most sustained efforts to use computation to explore musical composition in humans and machines. Other composers have done, and are doing, similar things: working closely and in detail with different kinds of computation to explore what musical composition can be, but I'll not attempt to list them here. Harold Cohen's four decades of work to develop his AARON painting machine, starting in 1973, is another example of this kind of sustained work to understand something people can do, painting, see [4]. What, for me, is important in these attempts, is that they are not just examples of pushing lots of samples of music to machine learning systems, that can then be run backwards to generate music "like" the samples they have been trained on. This is what the Jukedeck system does, see Henry's post. It uses machine learning techniques to build an automated (artificial) music generator. You tell it how long you want your sound track to be (for your video, say), and it makes the music. This kind of work, I think, tells us nothing about how humans compose music. It does, on the other hand, tell us something about what some people are prepared to tolerate as music. Which brings me to your first consequence: Jukedeck and its cousins will put more human composers out of work. Perhaps, yes. But it doesn't have to be like this. Take a look at and listen to these two recent video works. LUNAR [7m20s] by Christian Stangl ( http://www.christianstangl.at ) music by Wolfgang Stangl ( http://www.wolfgangstangl.com ) and 2016 AICP Sponsor Reel - Dir Cut [2m47s] music by Major Lazer, Light It Up (Remix) and compare the experience with watching any of the many many videos you can find on Vimeo and Youtube that use artificial Jukedeck music like sound tracks. Or, if you've got an hour to spare, try this. Music for 18 Musicians [56m34s] by Damien Henry music by Steve Reich Here a machine learning system is used to generate the visual part, to go with Steve Rich's minimalist score "Music for 18 Musicians" (1974-6). If you don't feel the difference between videos with real music and videos with artificial music, then human composed music isn't needed. But, if you do, like most people do, (perhaps without realising how important the music is in making the experience) then human composed music is needed, and will always be needed. Given that sites like Youtube and Video and others allow viewers to vote down (in the case of Youtube) and comment on what they see, if more (and more and more ...) people left comments saying they'd prefer real music on the videos they watch, then maybe, just maybe, we (collectively) could teach our (collective) selves to demand human composed music, and reject machine made artificial music.

Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 2-4, 2017 Intertwined Worlds 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 10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. Despite the linguistic and cultural complexity of many regions of the premodern world, religion supplies the basis of a strong material and textual cohesion that both crosses and intertwines boundaries between communities. This year's theme, "Intertwined Worlds," will highlight the confluence of expressions of belief, ritual, and social engagement emerging in technologies and traditions of the world's manuscript cultures, often beyond a single religious context. It will consider common themes and practices of textual, artistic, literary, and iconographic production in religious life across time and geography, from ancient precedents to modern reception and dissemination in the digital age. For more information, go to: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium10.html . Registration opens in August. Participants include: * Iqbal Akhtar, Florida International University * Paul Dilley, University of Iowa * Benjamin Fleming, University of Pennsylvania * Ellen Gough, Emory University * Thibaud d'Hubert, University of Chicago * Ayesha Irani, University of Massachusetts, Boston * Shazia Jagot, University of Southern Denmark * Samantha Kelly, Rutgers University * Jinah Kim, Harvard University * Sabine Schmidtke, Institute for Advanced Studies * Gila Prebor, Bar-Ilan University * Michael Pregil, Boston University * Michael Stanley-Baker, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science * Columba Stewart, Hill Museum and Manuscript Library * Tyler Williams, University of Chicago * Saymon Zakaria, Bangla Academy, Dhaka * Maayan Zhitomirsky-Geffet, Bar-Ilan University --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 16:03:49 -0400 From: Kera Allen Subject: SIGCIS CFP | MEASURE, MODEL, MIX: COMPUTER AS INSTRUMENT | Oct 29, 2017 MEASURE, MODEL, MIX: COMPUTER AS INSTRUMENT 2017 SIGCIS Conference Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | October 29, 2017 The Special Interest Group in Computing, Information, and Society [SIGCIS] welcomes submissions to their annual conference Proposal Due Date: June 30, 2017 KEYNOTE SPEAKER Joanna Radin | Department of History, Yale University THEME Computers are instruments of action. They are made to measure, model, and mix; count and aggregate; save and surveil; pick, parse, and select; and in a world of embedded systems, they are even designed to listen, wait, and relay. In many instances, these actions involve the computational transformation of other social and technological processes—from software that compiles the census to the suites of code assisting in the digital manipulation of sound and image. In other cases, computers register and create information at scales and speeds we have only begun to grasp: artificial intelligence, machine learning, and “big data” in all its local forms. And while often leveraged as democratizing, computers have long been known to amplify structural inequality, map over difference, and jettison “noise” that cannot be translated into a specific form of information. Measure, Model, Mix invites scholars and independent researchers across the disciplinary spectrum to explore the historical conditions of computation. Areas of engagement may include: - How have bureaucratic, scientific, and aesthetic computational instruments eroded, produced, and reproduced biopolitical and epistemological realities, past and present? - How can we analyze the relationships between computing and identity categories such as race, gender, sexuality, and ethnicity? - What are the historical foundations of computing’s contemporary capacity to recognize information? - How have cultures, subcultures, political systems and identity groups mobilized computational techniques for their own ends? SIGCIS is especially welcoming of new directions in scholarship. We maintain an inclusive atmosphere for scholarly inquiry, supporting both disciplinary and theoretical interventions from beyond the traditional history of technology, and with respect to promoting diversity in STEM. We welcome submissions from: histories of technology, computing, and science; science and technology studies; studies of women, gender, and sexuality; studies of race, ethnicity, and postcoloniality; film, media, and game studies; software and code studies; network and internet histories; music, sound studies, and art history; and all other applicable domains. The annual SIGCIS Conference begins immediately after the regular annual meeting of our parent organization, the Society for the History of Technology [SHOT]. SIGCIS welcomes everyone, inclusive of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, age, appearance, race, nationality or religion. We are committed to fostering a positive, productive space for all participants. SUBMISSION FORMATS SIGCIS welcomes proposals for individual 15-20 minute papers, 3-4 paper panel proposals, works-in-progress (see below), and non-traditional proposals such as roundtables, software demonstrations, hands-on workshops, etc. WORKS-IN-PROGRESS We are pleased to announce a new format for the 2017 SIGCIS Works in Progress (WiP) session. This year, participants will not deliver presentations on their WiP, and there will not be an audience. Instead, the session will serve as a workshop wherein participants will discuss the works in small group sessions. We invite works in progress—articles, chapters, dissertation prospectuses—of 10,000 words or less (longer works must be selectively edited to meet this length). We especially encourage submissions from graduate students, early career scholars, and scholars who are new to SIGCIS. Authors who submit a WiP will also commit to reading (in advance) two other WiPs, discussing them in a very small group setting, and providing written feedback on one of those WiPs. Scholars who would like to participate in this session without submitting their own WiP are certainly welcome; we ask that they commit to reading (in advance) at least two of the WiPs. Submissions for WiP only require a 350-400 word abstract, but applicants should plan to circulate their max-10,000-word WiPs no later than October 8, 2017. Scholars who would like to be a reader of WiPs, please email a brief bio or 1-page CV, along with your areas of interest and expertise, to Gerardo Con Diaz [condiaz@ucdavis.edu]. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Submissions are due June 30, 2017. Applicants should download, fill out and follow the instructions on the application cover sheet at http://meetings.sigcis.org/call-for-papers.html. All submissions will require: - 350-400 word abstract (full panel proposals should additionally include a 300-word panel abstract in addition to 3-4 paper abstracts) - 1-page CV or resume Please Note: Individuals already scheduled to participate on the main SHOT program are welcome to submit an additional proposal to our workshop, but should make sure that there is no overlap between the two presentations. However, SIGCIS may choose to give higher priority to submissions from those not already presenting at SHOT. Questions regarding submission procedure should be sent to Kera Allen [kera.allen@gatech.edu]. TRAVEL AWARD The top financial priority of SIGCIS is the support of travel expenses for graduate students, visiting faculty without institutional travel support, and others who would be unable to attend the meeting without travel assistance. The submission cover sheet includes a box to check if you fall into one of these categories and would like to be considered for an award. These is no separate application form, though depending on the volume of requests and available resources we may need to contact you for further information before making a decision. Any award offered is contingent on registering for and attending the SIGCIS Conference. Please note that SHOT does not classify the SIGCIS Conference as participation in the SHOT annual meeting, therefore so acceptance by SIGCIS does not imply eligibility for the SHOT travel grant program.

Since you have already received Humanist 31.87, detailing the contents of Digital Scholarship in the Humanities for June, I'll not repeat it here, only copy below what this message looked like when it arrived at this editor's virtual desk -- more than a metaphor for censorship, exactly in this minor instance what mindful editorship must amount to. Of course one may argue that the safelinks links are intended for display by a browser, which will conceal the mess and show only the standard indication that a link is to be followed. But in this I think the density of linking interferes with reading, rendering the text into a horde of nervous invitations to go elsewhere.

Historians, like other humanists show keen interests in computational approaches to the study and processing of digitized sources (usually text, images, audio). In computer science, experimental tools and methods stand the challenge to be validated regarding their relevance for real-world questions and applications. The HistoInformatics workshop series is designed to bring researchers in both fields together, to discuss best practices as well as possible future collaborations. Traditionally, historical research is based on the hermeneutic investigation of preserved records and artefacts to provide a reliable account of the past and to discuss different hypotheses. Alongside this hermeneutic approach historians have always been interested to translate primary sources into data and used methods, often borrowed from the social sciences, to analyze them. A new wealth of digitized historical documents have however opened up completely new challenges for the computer-assisted analysis of e.g. large text or image corpora. Historians can greatly benefit from the advances of computer and information sciences which are dedicated to the processing, organization and analysis of such data. New computational techniques can be applied to help verify and validate historical assumptions. We call this approach HistoInformatics, analogous to Bioinformatics and ChemoInformatics which have respectively proposed new research trends in biology and chemistry. The main topics of the workshop are:(1) support for historical research and analysis in general through the application of Computer Science theories or technologies, (2) analysis and re-use of historical texts, (3) analysis of collective memories, (4) visualizations of historical data, (4) access to large wealth of accumulated historical knowledge. HistoInformatics workshops took place thrice in the past. The first one (http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2013/) was held in conjunction with the 5th International Conference on Social Informatics in Kyoto, Japan in 2013. The second workshop (http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2014/) took place at the same conference in the following year in Barcelona. The third workshop (http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/histoinformatics2016/) was held on July 2016 in Krakow, Poland in conjunction with ADHO’s 2016 Digital Humanities conference. For Histoinformatics2017, we are interested in a wide range of topics which are of relevance for history, the cultural heritage sector and the humanities in general. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): -Natural language processing and text analytics applied to historical documents -Analysis of longitudinal document collections -Search and retrieval in document archives and historical collections, associative search -Causal relationship discovery based on historical resources -Named entity recognition and disambiguation -Entity relationship extraction, detecting and resolving historical references in text -Finding analogical entities over time -Computational linguistics for old texts -Analysis of language change over time -Digitizing and archiving -Modeling evolution of entities and relationships over time -Automatic multimedia document dating -Applications of Artificial Intelligence techniques to History -Simulating and recreating the past course of actions, social relations, motivations, figurations -Handling uncertain and fragmentary text and image data -Automatic biography generation -Mining Wikipedia for historical data -OCR and transcription of old texts -Effective interfaces for searching, browsing or visualizing historical data collections -Studies on collective memory -Studying and modeling forgetting and remembering processes -Estimating credibility of historical findings -Probing the limits of Histoinformatics -Epistemologies in the Humanities and Computer Science Practical matters Paper submission deadline: July 15, 2017 (23:59 Hawaii Standard Time) Notification of acceptance: August 12, 2017 Camera ready copy deadline: August 19, 2017 Workshop date: November 6, 2017 Submissions need to be: - formatted according to ACM camera-ready template (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template). - submitted in English in PDF format at the workshops Easychair page (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=histoinformatics2017) Full paper submissions must describe substantial, original, completed and unpublished work, not accepted for publication elsewhere, and not currently under review elsewhere.

On the one hand it will look at the overlap between ontologies and computational linguistics; and on the other the relationship between knowledge modelling and terminologies -- as well as the many points of intersection between these two topics. Languages and Ontologies: Formal ontologies are taking on an increasingly important role in computational linguistics and automated language processing. Knowledge models and ontologies are of interest to several areas of NLP including, but not limited to, Machine Translation, Question Answering, and Word Sense Disambiguation. At a more abstract level ontologies can help us to model and reason about natural language semantics. They can be also used for the organisation and formalisation of linguistically relevant categories such as those used in tagsets for corpus annotation. At the same time, the fact that formal ontologies are being increasingly accessed by users with a limited or with no background in formal logic has led to a growing interest in the development of front ends that allow for the easy editing, querying and summarisation of such resources; it has also led to work in developing natural language interfaces for authoring and for evaluating ontologies. Another area that is now beginning to receive more attention is the application of ontologies and taxonomies to the annotation and study of literary texts, as well as of texts more generally in the humanities. This is closely related to the ontology-enhanced modelling of lexicographic resources, another topic which is gaining in popular. This brings us to the field of terminology as a linguistic field, where in recent years there has been a shift from merely compiling specialized lexicographic resources to exploring terminology as a tool for structuring knowledge in a given domain. As such, this has led to more intelligent ways of accessing, extracting, representing, modelling, visualising and transferring knowledge. Numerous tools for the automatic extraction of terms, term variants, knowledge-rich contexts, definitions, semantic relations, and taxonomies from specialized corpora have been developed for a number of languages and new theoretical approaches have emerged as potential frameworks for the study of specialized communication. However, the building of adequate knowledge models for practitioners (e.g. experts, researchers, translators, teachers etc.), on the one hand, and for use by NLP applications (including cross-language, cross-domain, cross-device, multimodal, multi-platform applications) on the other, still remains a challenge. LOTKS will provide a forum for discussion on how to best bridge these two sets of requirements. Motivation and Topics of Interest This workshop welcomes contributions from researchers in fields such as linguistics, terminologies, and knowledge engineering, whose work fits in with our topics of interest as well as interested industry professionals. Building on the success both of the 1st LangandOnto workshop (co-located with ICWS 2015) as well as last year’s joint LangandOnto/TermiKS workshop (co-located with LREC 2016), this workshop aims to create a forum for open discussion that will help to highlight the common areas of interest in the different fields concerned, as well as fostering dialogue between the various different approaches taken by each discipline. And therefore we particularly welcome approaches with a cross-language, cross-domain and/or cross-interdisciplinary scope. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: -- NLP-driven ontology modelling -- The use of ontologies to structure linguistic tagsets -- Natural language interfaces to ontologies -- Ontologies for NLP tasks (e.g. textual entailment, summarisation, word sense disambiguation) and Information Retrieval -- Lexical Ontologies -- The use of ontologies in analysing/studying literary texts -- Ontology-driven natural language generation -- Linguistic, cognitive, psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, computational and hybrid approaches to knowledge modelling -- Construction of terminological knowledge bases -- Terminology modelling for MT -- Knowledge extraction from user-generated content -- Frame-based approaches to knowledge extraction and representation -- Building knowledge resources for less-resourced domains and languages -- Visual components of specialized knowledge bases -- Visualisation techniques for knowledge representations -- Term variation and knowledge representations -- NLP applications for terminology management -- Terminologies in the Digital Humanities Proposals We invite proposals in the form of abstracts of up to 6 pages (up to 4 pages of text +2 pages for references) for short papers, or up to 8 pages (up to 6 pages of text+ 2 pages for references) for long papers.

M. Coetzee (a reading) Kathryn Mosley (guest pianist) Confirmed speakers: Jennifer Rutherford, Kai Easton, Marc Farrant, Jan Wilm, Peter McDonald, Hermann Wittenberg, Carrol Clarkson, Richard Barney, Derek Attridge (in absentia), David Atwell (in absentia) ------------------------------------------------------------ This inaugural conference on Coetzee’s archive invites speakers to engage with both the general topic of the archive in Coetzee Studies and with the specific and voluminous materials that have travelled to the HRC to date. What might be considered their ‘origins’, their ‘original homes’? Where were they written, drafted, published, otherwise housed? Where, in other words, do archives ‘begin’, and where might they take us? Can we pinpoint such formations, and what are the implications of such geographies and materialities, theoretically and/or empirically, for the story of a writing life? Touching upon disciplines as varied as the life sciences, theology and philosophy, South African history and politics, canonical literary intertexts, translation, and engagements with other artistic forms (visual; filmic; sound), Coetzee’s richly curated archive serves as a springboard for further investigations into his published writing and collaborative work. With its numerous multi-lingual and multi-modal resources, it invites a significant expansion of critical scholarship, and asks us to consider questions of wider artistic practices, approach and methodology, genre, theory and creativity. We warmly welcome contributions from emerging and established scholars seeking to take imaginative and discursive leaps into new territories. Abstracts (250-300 words) for 20-minute papers should be sent by 15 JUNE 2017 to: coetzeeandthearchive@gmail.com. Please include details of your level of study/position, and institutional affiliation. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 08 Jun 2017 20:16:46 +0100 From: karen.morrell@dhchester.org Subject: Call for Papers :: ACM SIGSPATIAL Workshop on Geospatial Humanities In-Reply-To: ACM SIGSPATIAL WORKSHOP ON GEOSPATIAL HUMANITIES NOVEMBER 7, 2017, REDONDO BEACH, CALIFORNIA, USA In conjunction with the 25th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Conference on Advances in Geographic Information Systems (ACM SIGSPATIAL GIS 2017)_ https://bgmartins.github.io/sigspatial-geohumanities/ CALL FOR PAPERS The ACM SIGSPATIAL Workshop on Geospatial Humanities is concerned with the use of geographic information systems and other spatial technologies in humanities research. We aim to bring together researchers and practitioners from different sub-fields of computer science and the geographical information sciences, interested in the application of spatial methods and technology to the humanities. Participants will explore and demonstrate the contributions to knowledge that modern GIS technologies can enable within and beyond the digital humanities. The workshop invites contributions on the following topics, as well as other research related to the Spatial Humanities: + Gazetteer development (e.g., models, data conflation, semantic technologies, etc.) + Historical geographical information systems + Spatio-temporal network analysis in the humanities + Text geo-parsing and other NLP techniques for geographical text analysis + Spatial simulation in the humanities (e.g., cellular automata and agent-based models) + Spatial and spatio-temporal analysis of humanities data + Visualization and cartographic representations for humanities data + Handling vague and imprecise historical spatio-temporal data + Applications of the aforementioned techniques *** PAPER SUBMISSION *** Contributions should be submitted in the form of long papers (i.e., up to 8 pages in PDF, according to the ACM formatting guidelines): http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template Contributions should report on relatively mature research results, or alternatively on more specliative and early stage research that may nonetheless stimulate discussion at the workshop.

The conference will be held at the University of Kent in Canterbury on the 7th and 8th September 2017. The CfP has a deadline of 23rd June. For further information, please see the conference abstract and announcement below, or follow this link: http://easternarc.ac.uk/latest-news/2017-digital-humanities-conference-7-8-september-university-of-kent/ I hope to welcome many of you there and am looking forward to your short presentation ideas, which is open to researchers at all career stages, so please forward this announcement to those who may be interested. Best regards, Benjamin Vis 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. 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; and, * Lived experience and Visualisation. The programme will feature contributions to this broad field from leading researchers. Confirmed keynote speakers include Dr Kathryn Reese-Taylor (Calgary); Prof. Scott Hutson (Kentucky); Dr Nicola Dempsey (Sheffield); Dr Christian Isendahl (Gothenburg). Call for Papers: We invite expressions of interest for those wanting to participate with short "quick fire" presentations (10 min.) or panelled discussion contributions. Approx. 150 word abstracts or ideas can be sent to Ben Vis, b.n.vis@kent.ac.uk by June 23rd 2017. Notification of acceptance expected July 7th 2017.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 12 Jun 2017 14:17:19 +0200 From: Sandra Kuebler Subject: 1st CFP: Special Issue of the LRE Journal: Language Technology for Digital Humanities CALL FOR PAPERS We invite submissions of papers to a special issue of the journal ”Language Resources and Evaluation”. The special issue will focus on the use of language technology for digital humanities and will have the title: Language Technology for Digital Humanities. MOTIVATION: The use of digital resources and tools across humanities disciplines has steadily increased, giving rise to new research paradigms and associated methods that are commonly subsumed under the term ”digital humanities”. Digital humanities does not constitute a new discipline in itself, but rather a new approach to humanities research that cuts across different existing humanities disciplines. While digital humanities extends well beyond language-based research, textual resources and spoken language materials play a central role in most humanities disciplines. Applying LT tools and data for digital humanities research implies new perspectives on these resources regarding domain adaptation, interoperability, technical requirements, documentation, and usability of user interfaces. TOPICS: We invite original contributions on completed work, not published before and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2017 06:35:20 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: in what sense a 'perfect language' Umberto Eco's impressive study, The Search for a Perfect Language, which shares with George Steiner's After Babel the historical sweep from Judeo-Christian beginnings to the present, says very little about our form of the quest -- less than two pages in a book of 385 (subtitled "Artificial Intelligence"). This is not to fault him; an author's freedom to define a scope is his or hers. But Eco does leave us with the question of what 'perfect' means in the context of our machine. The anthropologist Edwin Ardener, in a brilliant essay, "'Behaviour' -- a Social Anthropological Criticism", shows how a cultural keyword can be plucked from one field, remade by another and then returned to its origins unrecognised. He concludes: > we all have to guard against over-determining a distinction in our > own culture, objectifying it through new data and then receiving it > back, no longer able to recognize our own artefact. 'Behaviour' is such > a case: we may clutch it as those experimental monkey infants clutch > their mothers made of wire, and receive precious little nourishment. Is there, for example in the scholarship of 'distant reading', traces of that search for a perfect, uncontaminated (objective?) mode of expression that gets to the truth of our texts, as clearly we cannot unaided? Mostly, as far as I know, we rely on a stochastic model of language, apply statistical tests and come up with probable results. But do we leave the matter there in its uncertainty? Some have argued that the specifically digital, Boolean form into which our artefacts of study must be translated in order to become computationally tractable is no longer relevant, that the ubiquity of the digital means we can forget the engineering and move on. Might this view of things turn out to be such a clutching "as those experimental monkey infants clutch their mothers made of wire, and receive precious little nourishment" -- in comparison to that which critical awareness of the engineering gives us in abundance?

You can find it online at < http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/cfp> as well as here below. The deadline to submit abstracts of 500 words max. is July 31. I'd be very grateful if you could forward this call to any interested parties! Best wishes, Matteo Romanello on behalf of the organising committee ========================================================== Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin 2017/18: Call for Papers ========================================================== We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the sixth series of the Digital Classicist Seminar Berlin [1], organised in association with the German Archaeological Institute and the Interdisciplinary Research Network Digital Humanities in Berlin (ifDHb). It will run during the winter term of the academic year 2017/18. 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 [2] of **300-500 words max.** (bibliographic references excluded) should be uploaded by **midnight (CET) on 31 July 2017** using the dedicated submission form [3]. 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 37%. Seminars will run **fortnightly on Tuesday evenings (17:15-19:00)** from October 2017 until February 2018. 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] 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.

In-Reply-To: <20170613055437.7BC3F1B8E@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Your citation of Eco's The Search for a Perfect Language reminded me of Gregory Chaitin's talk with a near same title: The Search for the Perfect Language? given at the Perimeter Institute on 21.09.2009, with a video here: http://pirsa.org/displayFlash.php?id=09090007 [1h11m35s]. Chaitin's talk is a merry romp through some history of mathematics and, in his words, a continuation of the story Eco tells with more modern work on logical and programming languages. Chaitin's talk is of some relevance, I think, to your asking about [computational] "mothers made of wire." Amongst several things, I liked, we have this. "... Christian Huygen's hated Leibniz's calculus because he [Huygen] said that it was mechanical, it was brainless: Any fool can just calculate the answer by following the rules, without understanding what he or she is doing. Huygens preferred the old, synthetic geometry proofs where you have to be creative and come up with a diagram and some particular reason for something to be true. Leibniz wanted a general method. He wanted to get the formalism, the notation, right, and have a mechanical way to get the answer." (Top of page 4.) However, Chaitin ends at a place I would not go, but which perhaps relates some to the scholarship of 'distant reading' you refer to. "... So from the perspective of the Middle Ages, I would say that the perfect languages that we've found have given us some magical, God-like powers, which is that we can breath life into some inanimate matter. Observe that hardware is analogous to the body, and software is analogous to the soul, and when you put software into a computer, this inanimate object comes to life and creates virtual worlds. "So from the perspective of somebody from the year 1200, the search for the perfect language has been successful and has given us some magical, God-like abilities, except that we take them entirely for granted." Where I would go is the place that insists that everybody, who uses instruments to aid their investigations, knows well how these instruments work and are engineered, so as to know well what artifacts their use may introduce in to the observations and treatments performed with them. Good astronomy is not done merely by looking through a good telescope. A good knowledge and understanding of optics and how the telescope implements these well enough, is also required, if false or misleading observations, and claims based upon these, are to be avoided.

He was born, he said, before the first airplane flew (in 1903) and had lived to see jet planes. We in public mode marvel when witnessing very young children playing with iPads and, in consequence, attempting to activate pictures in printed books by poking at them with their fingers. Yes, the presence of computational devices from the cradle is a sign of the times and of the likely future. Just this morning, however, I saw a video of an ultrasound session that showed the mother's first child, almost 3 years old, watching the live video of his sister or brother (too early to tell) moving about in utero: a profoundly biological vision afforded by a computational device. We have read now for decades of computer scientists turning, reverting to biological systems for new ideas and challenges, and of the blurring of computational biology and biological computing. The question asked of new (strictly speaking) creatures, 'is it alive?', Keller writes, is perhaps less of a philosophical than an historical question. But what strikes me, especially after watching that video of a grandson watching a sibling in formation, is that it's life we're looking at -- that the great physicist Schrödinger, who gave those famous lectures on the question "What is Life?" in 1943, would be immensely pleased. Let's put biology on our agenda!

READ and READ Workbench together provide an integrated research environment, publishing platform and corpus development framework for ancient Sanskrit and Prakrit texts; a model that can be expanded to other writing systems. Rationale: The READ project commenced in 2013 with funding from a consortium consisting of the University of Munich (LMU), Germany, the University of Washington (UW), Seattle, the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, the University of Sydney (USYD) and Prakaś Foundation, Sydney. These Universities are all engaged in the study and publication of ancient Buddhist documents preserved in the Gāndhārī language that originate from Afghanistan and Pakistan. Academic lead for the project is Stefan Baums (LMU) and the development team comprises Andrew Glass from Microsoft as software architect, Stephen White (ex Microsoft and USYD) as system developer and Ian McCrabb as analyst/designer and project manager (USYD). READ is the result of the convergence of two streams; the work of Baums and Glass on gandhari.org and data modelling undertaken in support of McCrabb’s PhD dissertation at USYD. The project brief for READ was to develop a comprehensive research environment and publishing platform to support the transcription, translation and analysis of ancient Sanskrit and Prakrit texts: manuscripts, inscriptions, coins and other documents. A critical element of the brief was that READ be based on open source software, support the TEI standard and provide an API for integration with related systems. READ is complementary to existing textual repositories and integrated with existing dictionaries. Whatever format existing transcriptions were developed in these can be consumed, elaborated upon, analyzed, and then published as research output in TEI. The data remains open source and can be exported as a full XML archive. In summary, READ has been designed to functions as: * a linked repository of images, transcriptions, translations, metadata, and annotations; * a content management system encompassing multi-user editing, maintenance and version control; * a collaboration platform with comprehensive access and visibility control; * a research environment with access to a dictionary, catalog of texts, glossaries and bibliographies; * a publishing platform for individual transcription renditions or full scholarly editions; and * the kernel of an integrated research network interfacing with GIS, data visualization and image analysis systems. Ian McCrabb, University of Sydney READ and READ Workbench Abstract: This presentation will provide an overview of the project, the modelling and design process, the development methodology and a brief system demonstration focusing on the core modules and workflows. READ is currently in production on four projects at the University of Sydney supporting the development of corpora in Gāndhārī, Sanskrit and Pali. In order to support the management of resources and processes that need to be integrated in the development of a corpus, a server portal and management framework, READ Workbench, has been built. The presentation will provide an overview of the corpus development framework and a brief walk through of the methods and automated processes supported by READ workbench. Bio: Ian McCrabb is the founder and managing director of Systemik, a Sydney based IT consulting group focussed on information architecture and content services in the corporate and government sectors. Since its establishment in 1994, he has led the design, development and commercialization of consulting methodologies, web technologies and content transformation services; adapting the organizations business models to map to evolving corporate web content management platforms and strategies. Ian has an MA in Sanskrit and Buddhist Studies from USYD and his PhD dissertation continues his focus on methodologies for the analysis of donative inscriptions and characterization of the ritual practice of relic establishment in ancient Gandhāra (eastern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan). Ian is analyst/designer and project manager on the READ project and system designer of READ Workbench. Dr Andrew Glass Expanding READ to support any writing system Abstract: READ is built on a database that models the separate components and layers of interpretation which scholars employ in their research on ancient documents. This model progresses along a spectrum from more-or-less statements of fact (e.g., the location of writing on a surface), to more interpretive data (e.g., the transcription value of an instance of writing). The database model therefore can trace any particular scholarly choice relating to the study of a document back to an original fact, usually the location of writing on the surface in question. This link to the location of writing on the surface lies at the heart of READ and is what allows users of the system to modify their interpretations of their text repeatedly as they work on it without losing or disconnecting other facts and interpretations they have already made. What is really happening in the system is that READ constrains the scholar to editing only one unit of interpretation at a time, otherwise links could become corrupted. In order to be able to constrain edits to a single unit of interpretation of a unit of the writing system, the system must know what is allowable for any unit of the writing system. That is, the system must model human writing systems. READ was originally developed for the Gāndhārī language which uses the Kharoṣṭhī script. Kharoṣṭhī is an alphasyllabary or Abugida writing system that has shares many features with Brāhmī and derived writing systems of South and Southeast Asia. Therefore, the present READ system is optimized for working with texts for which the primary orthographic units consists of syllabic units. This presentation looks at the challenges and opportunities in extending the READ system beyond the alpha syllabaries to also support alphabetic, logographic, and logosyllablic writing systems. Bio: Dr. Andrew Glass is a Senior Program Manager in the Windows and Devices Group at Microsoft. He works on text input and font shaping (Uniscribe). He has M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington, Department of Asian Languages and Literature. He has authored Unicode proposals for the Kharoṣṭhī and Brāhmī scripts together with Stefan Baums. Prior to joining Microsoft in 2008 he taught at University of Washington, University of Leiden, and Bukkyo University in Japan. He is the author of numerous scholarly articles and one book, Four Gāndhārī Saṃyuktāgama Sūtras: Senior Kharoṣṭhī Fragment 5, published by the University of Washington Press 2007. He is the creator of the Universal Shaping Engine, a solution for rendering complex scripts based on Unicode data that has been adopted by major mobile and desktop computer operating system.

The field combines digital semantic technologies and (big) digital heritage data. Digital humanities research is typically driven by core questions in each of these disciplines: on the one hand semantic technologies are applied in novel ways in addressing research questions of humanities and social sciences; on the other hand these areas stimulate the development of novel methods in computer and information sciences. This special issue is calling for the submission of novel and impactful research results demonstrating the design, development, evaluation and use of research methods and infrastructures based on Semantic Web technologies for cultural heritage data and use cases in digital humanities scholarship. https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-web-semantics/call-for-papers/special-issue-on-web-semantics-for-digital-humanities Best regards - terveisin Eero ________________________________________________ Prof. Eero Hyvönen, Director Helsinki Centre for Digital Humanities (HELDIG) University of Helsinki and Aalto University phone: +358 50 384 1618 Heldig: Room A305, Metsätalo, Unioninkatu 40, Helsinki, http://heldig.fi Aalto: Room B128, Konemiehentie 2, Espoo, http://seco.cs.aalto.fi/ Homepage: http://seco.cs.aalto.fi/u/eahyvone/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) 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 1A0241DE3; Fri, 16 Jun 2017 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 7F9161DD8; Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:28:04 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7AD061DDB; Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:28:01 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170616052801.7AD061DDB@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:28:01 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.107 postdoc (Newcastle) 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: <20170616052805.318.18079@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 107.

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 panelproposal 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. The panel proposal should provide an overview and the abstracts of 3-4 papers. Post-Conference Publication All authors who attend the conference will be invited to submit revised papers to the special issues of the following journals: New Mathematics and Natural Computation http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/nmnc (World Scientific) Journal of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities (Taiwanese Association for Digital Humanities) Detailed information will be announced later.

As before, it will be jointly organised by the RAI and the BM’s Department for Africa, Oceania and the Americas, and held in the Clore Centre of the British Museum. We are also very pleased to be joined by the Department of Anthropology at the School of Oriental and African Studies, where a portion of the break-out rooms for the conference panels will be located in the newly refurbished Paul Webley Wing of Senate House. The RAI welcomes panel proposals on any of the themes below. However, it would not wish to restrict any potential suggestion, and proposals are welcome on any aspect of the theme, whether theoretical or ethnographic. Proposals from any of the sub-fields of anthropology (social anthropology, biological anthropology, archaeology or linguistics) are welcome, as are those which draw across disciplines. We would particularly welcome proposals from the museum world, especially papers that reconsider the relationship between museums and anthropology today and in the past. Amongst the possible areas which may be considered are: * Recent debates in materiality, representation and relationality. * Performance and aesthetics * Heritage, transmission and identity * Art as ethnographic resource * The anthropology of creativity and art * The visual perception of art and recent developments in understanding its biological basis * Art, craft, technology and the reinvention of tradition in tourist art. * The changing relationship between archaeology, excavation, nationalism and identity. * Recent developments in the anthropology of art, including ethnographic or anthropological analysis of western and non-western art traditions, whether historical or contemporary. * Art, materiality and material culture * The anthropology of art in the archaeological record, including prehistory. * The changing place of art in specific geographic locations. * Commoditisation of non-western art traditions in the west and the place of anthropology and anthropologists within that process. * Curating and curators, and the interface between museums and academic departments historically and today. * Cultural property, ownership and representation of ethnographic objects * Ethnographic museums and their futures, including the consideration of indigenous museums. * Authenticity and the politics of representation * Craftsmanship, apprenticeship, and learning to become an artist. * The consideration or reconsideration of the contribution of particular scholars in the anthropology of art. Proposals for panels should be made by 30 June 2017 on the conference web-site, which may be found http://therai.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94e3bf4c82be9b8d19299eb8a&id=e0e9b08449&e=f418a49f00 alongside an indication of the conference fees.

This IMLS grant will support a series of public events and working meetings on the ways in which information systems embody and reinforce cultural norms, and ask how we can design systems that account for diverse cultural materials and ways of knowing. The end results will be a teaching and learning toolkit for cultural heritage practitioners in systems design which will better inform both future work and the education and professional development of new practitioners. We envision this toolkit combating problems of colonizing, appropriating, silencing, and marginalizing; we are counting on your participation and involvement. It is essential to the success of this project that we partner with participants with a broad range of experience and backgrounds, to help us think through these complex questions of design and pedagogy from many different perspectives. We are especially interested in partners who are practicing cultural heritage systems design, whether in a formal organization or not: we seek activists, community organizers, and other grassroots collectors of history as well as librarians, archivists, scholars, and curators. We seek to involve the many different kinds of people undertaking information systems design, from activities like cataloging, building metadata schema, and creating automated re-use policies to building databases, designing web interfaces, and more. The first in-person event will be held October 16-17, 2017 at Northeastern University in Boston. To learn about ways that you can participate and sign up for our email list, visit our website: http://dsg.neu.edu/research/design-for-diversity/participate/ Follow us on Twitter at @Des4Div or contact the grant team at DesignForDiversity@northeastern.edu.

While I admit to getting annoyed with the seemingly endless stream of writings which worry the definition of 'digital humanities', I don't agree that all reflections on the field's state and nature are simply self-aggrandising noise. My view is that the problem lies with what some of the literature is paying attention to and why that's happening. Toni Morrison wrote somewhere (in The Bluest Eye?) that we cannot do anything about the why, we can only deal with the how. She was talking about something far more serious, but her point is translatable. Nevertheless I think it's important to identify potential candidates for the why. To begin with, my leading candidate is the in-toxic-ating blend of popularity and the anxious state of academia. Once upon a time -- cane-thumping alert -- any sign of involvement with computing on one's c.v. spelled the end of a career in the humanities. Now we ageing revolutionaries behold it as 'the next new thing'. Although some of us have landed academic jobs, acquired PhDs etc in digital humanities, the underlying problem has not been solved, only acquired a new form. The fundamental problem, which requires all forms of doing to be solved, remains: discovery of the common intellectual ground or (to summon Galison) trading zone where computing and all the disciplines trade their goods. I think that we digital humanists (including myself) have grossly underestimated the difficulty of connecting with the other disciplines, even on the rare occasion when invited to do so, even when we've been alert enough to realise how important such connecting is for a practice that goes everywhere and so needs everyone's help and gives everyone help. Connecting amounts to many grand challenges, as the computer scientists are wont to say. There's first of all the prodigious amount of homework, discipline by discipline. There's developing the self-awareness of how partial one's own perspective on each one is. There's the vigilant defence mechanism awakened within each discipline by any serious but poorly tutored attempt to connect. That's just for a start. Then we get to the challenge of awakening our interlocutors and ourselves to the fact that in talking what sounds like inept history or philosophy or mathematics or literary studies, say, we're trying to do something new and asking for help in doing it. Some of them are exceedingly bright and learned people. Sometimes they just don't get it. That's how difficult the job is. Publishing as 'making public' is vital. But we should be slow, I think, with turning out books until we know how to write ones that don't annoy Henry and Jan -- and me. Let's hope for some other next-new-thing to come along and take the heat off so that others can work in peace. Sure, for the historian, philologist or whomever, focused on his or her current research, as long as the digital chisel holds its edge and so allows the scholar to 'attend from' it (Michael Polanyi's term) to the work at hand, all this chatter can only seem to be about nothing real. But we know the tool won't always be -- in fact never quite is -- the right one. Those over in the digital humanities corner, together with their colleagues in computer science, need to be left in peace so that they can understand the sufficiency needed and come up with better tools.

Having followed the list silently for a few years, and wonder if the moment has come to briefly surface and to share a thought on this. What I wrote then is, approximately, what I continue to think: 'If digital humanities, its methods and its proponents have a purpose, it is to vanish, fully integrated into the normal procedures of scholarship.' It's not entirely in context here, so it sounds more dramatic a statement than it might otherwise.

I am a retired Early Modernist (of sorts) and have long been interested--largely from a quite old-fashioned philological perspective--how computers can help you manage textual data of various kinds. I doubt whether there are any theoretically or "self-reflexively" interesting questions about the digital turn in this field. Marvell famously said "Had we but world enough and time." We don't, and therefore the question about any enterprise is whether it is quite literally "worth while." Computers change the time cost of many operations, often in very drastic ways. That may be the only theoretically interesting thing about them, and once you've got that point, there really isn't much more to be said about from a theoretical perspective. But a lot of very deep and practical consequences follow from it. Research into the Early Modern English-speaking world has been immeasurably advanced by the ca. 60,000 transcription of books by the Text Creation Partnership--for many practical purposes a substantially complete deduplicated library of printed materials from 1473-1700. But it will probably take another decade of work by many people in different places to make the query potential of these digital surrogates fully available to scholars. There is a lot of "invisible work" to be done. It's often quite humble, it is not theoretically interesting--at least not in the ways in which humanities departments think about it, but in the aggregate it will make a big difference. Mommsen's Corpus of Latin inscriptions offers a predigital analogy. In 1850 access to Roman inscriptions was a sometime thing. Over the course of fifty Mommsen oversaw the "autoptic" transcriptions of all known inscriptions. By 1914 a decent Latinist at Northwestern, then a provincial Midwestern university, had access to all of them organized by time and space in more than a dozen heavy volumes that would fit on four feet of library shelving. Theoretically uninteresting, but of immense consequence for the study of Roman history. The TCP corpus may have similar consequences for the study of Early Modern England. But the current data--whether the EEBO image sets or the TCP transcriptions--need a lot of correction, replacement, and metadata enrichment before they unlock their full potential. No single bit of any of this work is theoretically interesting, but the aggregate can be transformative. A lot of little things add up. Computers make it easier to coordinate and add up the little things. But they still need to be done, not self-reflexively, but patiently and accurately. The little things are invisible and do not count for much in the prestige economy of the academy. But you cannot build an adequate documentary infrastructure without countless hours devoted to little things. They don't get done by themselves, but need to be funded and recognized. More little things and less self-reflexion might be a good slogan. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) 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 5A9F01E07; Tue, 20 Jun 2017 06:42:08 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CE7251E05; Tue, 20 Jun 2017 06:41:42 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 3DCC31E02; Tue, 20 Jun 2017 06:41:38 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170620044139.3DCC31E02@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2017 06:41:38 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.114 an epiphyte?

Please join us for celebratory drinks and nibbles at a dual book launch to celebrate the publications of: - The Business of Satirical Prints in Late-Georgian England by James Baker - Digital Humanities: Knowledge and Critique in a Digital Age by David M. Berry and Anders Fagerjord We will have a brief conversation on the books by discussants, Prof Caroline Bassett and Prof Tim Hitchcock, and then drinks in the DH lab and humanities garden. More information on our books below. Best David, Anders and James --------------------- The Business of Satirical Prints in Late-Georgian England James Baker This book explores English single sheet satirical prints published from 1780-1820, the people who made those prints, and the businesses that sold them. It examines how these objects were made, how they were sold, and how both the complexity of the production process and the necessity to sell shaped and constrained the satiric content these objects contained. It argues that production, sale, and environment are crucial to understanding late-Georgian satirical prints. A majority of these prints were, after all, published in London and were therefore woven into the commercial culture of the Great Wen. Because of this city and its culture, the activities of the many individuals involved in transforming a single satirical design into a saleable and commercially viable object were underpinned by a nexus of making, selling, and consumption. Neglecting any one part of this nexus does a disservice both to the late-Georgian satirical print, these most beloved objects of British art, and to the story of their late-Georgian apotheosis – a story that I develop not through the designs these objects contained, but rather through those objects and the designs they contained in the making. James Baker is a Lecturer in Digital History and Archives at the University of Sussex (and the awesome Sussex Humanities Lab). He is a historian of long eighteenth century Britain and of contemporary archiving. He is a fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute, and has held positions at the British Library, the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, and the University of Kent, UK. https://www.palgrave.com/de/book/9783319499888 --------------------- Digital Humanities: Knowledge and Critique in a Digital Age David M. Berry, 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. David M. Berry is Professor of Digital Humanities and co-Director of the Sussex Humanities Lab. His recent books include Critical Theory and the Digital (2014), Postdigital Aesthetics: Art, Computation and Design (2015, with Michael Dieter) and Digital Humanities: Knowledge and Critique in a Digital Age (2017, with Anders Fagerjord). He was recently awarded a British Academy Mid-Career Fellowship 2017-18 for his new research on “Reassembling the University: The Idea of a University in a Digital Age”. Anders Fagerjord is Associate Professor at the Department of Media and Communication (IMK), University of Oslo, Norway and at the Norwegian Media Technology Lab, Gjøvik University College. He is the author of Web-medier [Web media] (2006, 2008) and co-author of Sammensatte tekster [Multimodal Texts] (2009), and has contributed to several journals and volumes, such as the Handbook of Internet Reserarch (2010). http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-0745697658.html Professor David M.

In-Reply-To: <20170620044139.3DCC31E02@digitalhumanities.org> I don't know: I'd be worried by the "not being part of the organic structure" bit. We might be mistaking a branch for a separate plant. Let us not repeat the error once made with the Australian moss Gigaspermum repens, which has a creeping, largely leafless, underground stem that is rarely seen. All that is visible above ground are short, erect leafy branches (1 to 3 millimetres tall). It would be easy to think of each such leafy branch as a separate plant (Friends of the Australian National Botanic Gardens). More ominously, this particular Gigaspermum was once mistaken for a flowering plant and was only later found to be mere moss (Tasmanian Geographic). Now I don't like where this metaphor is going...

Online Open Access availability to the collections is the result of a collaboration between TII, the Discovery Programme, and the Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI). The Collections include over 1500 archaeological excavation reports that document surveys undertaken prior to building Ireland’s national roads, as well as the more recent excavations in preparation for the extension of Dublin’s light urban rail system (LUAS). The collections also include audiobooks, papers from a seminar series, and 3D video reconstructions of some sites. The collections are preserved for long-term persistent access in the DRI - Ireland’s trusted digital repository for social and cultural data. Data can also be accessed via several other portals, including Heritage Maps, and Ireland’s Open Data Portal. To browse the collections on DRI, visit: https://repository.dri.ie/catalog/v6936m966 For more information on the project, see: http://dri.ie/tii-digital-heritage-collections-launch Article in the Irish Times: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/heritage/new-archaeology-archive-is-a-treasure-trove-of-heritage-data-1.3125430?mode=amp ----- Dr. Natalie Harrower | Director, Digital Repository of Ireland Royal Irish Academy | 19 Dawson St. Dublin 2 n.harrower@ria.ie | @natalieharrower | @dri_ireland | www.dri.ie The Royal Irish Academy is subject to the Freedom of Information Acts 2014 and is compliant with the provisions of the Data Protection Acts 1988 & 2003.

The other was built on a Drupal platform and consists of a growing number of sound and video files, transcribed and with fields of rich metadata. Both cannot be supported any longer by their original builders, and in both projects there are some funds to invest in the restructuring of the database. I would like to use this opportunity to make sure the projects move to an open, reusable and sustainable model. The problem: there is no DH lab or consultancy around yet, and as much as we are hoping that this will change soon, we have to take decisions fast in these two cases. Could you share some tips, dos and don'ts, or refer my to any examples of best practice regarding databases?

Mathematics and mathematical modelling will be a key component of many of the areas of expertise in the call, though without being mentioned explicitly." (p. 672) The same, I expect, is true of digital analytics, simulation, visualisation and other methods cultivated in digital humanities. We have much less cause to be wary of the mathematical skills in the kinds of work addressed. For one thing no one has any problem recognising mathematics as an equal nor with institutional provision of the means to gain its skills. But digital humanities is another matter. Kjeldsen writes in the context of the workshop in which his talk was given, "From 'Mixed' to 'Applied' Mathematics: Tracing an important dimension of mathematics and its history" [*]. This workshop attests, the organizers say, to the fact that, > we have to deal with a field of interactions of the production of > mathematical knowledge with a large and variable number of > scientific, technological and social areas beyond the core > disciplines of 'pure' mathematics... Moreover, the very notion of the > 'application' of ready-made mathematical methods and knowledge to > extra-mathematical domains is problematic; in fact in many cases > mathematical methods emerged from interactions with such domains, > thereby changing and challenging the existing ideas about > mathematics. Note especially: "mathematical methods emerged from interactions with such domains".

Moretti’s book takes this issue and puts it on the front cover: Graphs, Maps, and Trees: Abstract Models for Literary History. Moretti is essentially creating an interpretation of the humanities which is guided partially by inclusion of mathematical thought. The tools employed by digital humanists can be viewed as applied mathematics underneath the layers of software and user interfaces. To see this, we need to move beyond the “tool fallacy” (that digital humanities is only about enhancing the humanities through digital tools). Behind the tool, we find mathematics and it seeps out. Jumping to your last paragraph, I completely agree - there is far too little acknowledgment of a true interaction. For example, consider Moretti’s thesis. Maybe we can embark on a new education on abstract mathematical structures (e.g., trees) within the humanities? The humanities becomes a natural gateway for such exposition. Isn’t that what is really going on in the digital humanities, and not just a tool fetish. -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 > On Jun 23, 2017, at 12:56 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 126. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2017 14:04:26 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: powerful without being mentioned > > > In "The idea of mathematical models and modelling in 20th century" [1], > Tinne Hoff Kjeldsen writes: "it seems to be the case that as > mathematics becomes more important its role seems to become less visible > -- a point that is reflected in the recent EU policy for research and > innovation, Horizon 2020.

First I'll claim that "mathematics" is not one area! Perhaps it comprises one approach, but has a multitude of divisions and specializations. I'm working on a research problem which could be considered to be part of the humanities and I needed to better understand one small area of graph theory - and I'm truly innocent of graph theory. After some reading I went to a math prof colleague and started to ask my first question and was immediately interrupted, "Thank goodness that I've never had to deal with graph theory!" So I dug back into journal articles and books - and found myself trying to straddle the differences between "graph theory" and "graph algorithms". I thought I solved my computational problem and went to a computer science prof colleague who teaches a data structures course - and got a quick helpful answer regarding my algorithmic approach. (Is computer science math? :-) The motive for this long story is to give a case of when "digital xyz" isn't so much "a creative investigation on how mathematics can be included in" xyz, as how in working on xyz one can (and should) use any area of math (and computer science) which is appropriate. So my opinion is that while Moretti's work is inspiring, he's overselling the digital approach - for certainly we need *both* "close" and "distant" reading, not only one of them. Therefore an education in the humanities should include some amount of math and computer science. Hmm, our engineers and math curricula include humanities courses. --henry schaffer On Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 2:19 AM, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 127. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Fri, 23 Jun 2017 10:52:02 -0500 > From: Paul Fishwick > Subject: Re: 31.126 unrecognised > In-Reply-To: <20170623055642.ADA661A9B@digitalhumanities.org> > > > Dear Willard > > To what extent is the digital humanities a creative investigation on how > mathematics can > be included in the humanities?

There's some unpicking of the metaphors to be done here, but the directions of travel are promising. True, many of us, for reasons difficult to figure, are so frightened of or put off by or indifferent to mathematics (take your pick) that walking through those doors to see what is on the other side is unappealing or worse. One fears (as Medieval and Early Modern practitioners sometimes did) charges of evil mathesis. But we must be brave. And there is help nearby. I don't mean elementary geometry or algebra, nor even such approachable sources as Timothy Gowers' Mathematics: A Very Short Introduction (OUP 2002), rather the anthropological and historical writings. On the anthropological side are the many cross-cultural studies of ethnomathematics, such as Marcia Ascher's Mathematics Elsewhere: An Exploration of Ideas Across Cultures (Princeton 2002). Then there's G. E. R. Lloyd's many studies of Greek and Chinese science, Raviel Netz's The Shaping of Deduction in Greek Mathematics (CUP 1999), his Ludic Proof: Greek Mathematics and the Alexandrian Aesthetic (CUP 2009) and especially -- read it tonight! -- Ian Hacking's Why is There a Philosophy of Mathematics At All? (CUP 2014). Game changers. Let me try to get beyond the bibliographic pile-up. In brief and gross terms what these and several others do is to turn an imagined wall into what the Welsh and Scots (and Marilyn Strathern) call 'borderlands', for mathematics rendering it visible in all its historical-cultural-philosophical contingency. Among other good questions Hacking asks why it is that we call so many different practices and ways of thinking, over so many centuries and across so many cultures, 'mathematics'? Take, for example, the connection made by Leibniz and the French Jesuit mathématicien du roi Joachim Bouvet between the former's binary calculus and the ancient Chinese Yijing (see e.g. http://leibniz-bouvet.org/). All this is important for us, I think, because we have a problem understanding in our own terms what computing is that it can be so successful in so many unexpected places. Historian of computing Michael Mahoney, esp in "Computer Science: The Search for a Mathematical Theory" (in Histories of Computing, 2011) notes that some very bright people, such as John McCarthy, have been convinced that computing is fundamentally mathematical, but then asks Hacking's question in a somewhat different way: what kind of mathematics is it? Ask this question in those historical-cultural-philosophical borderlands and we find many people, with much help to offer, to talk to. I'm not pretending that the conversations are easy to start or maintain. The mathematico-engineering side of computing many people find so difficult to face that they end up arguing it doesn't matter or, more revealingly, that it doesn't matter as long as the 'engineering works' (a British English term for e.g. repairs to the train tracks) are done without inconvenience. In his own, rather different context Netz uses the handy term 'banausic' ("Merely mechanical, proper to a mechanic", OED) to characterise the class-based distinction anxiously made by the mathematicians of ancient Athens to distance themselves from the merely practical, demotic users of mathematics and so to defend their status among the elite: > what is clear is the estrangement between the theoretical and the > practical, and undoubtedly this estrangement is on the whole due to > what may be called the banausic anxiety of the ancient upper classes -- > to whom... the mathematicians belonged. Mutatis mutandis the same today in our academy. Digital humanists (as Paul said) need to outgrow the tool fetish -- and the twittering/facebooking effects-on-society fetish. Let us hope (as Donna Haraway writes in a letter to the latest London Review of Books), for more "real conversation... in which no one has the answers, but everyone joins in love and rage to work together.... in Angela Davis's idiom, in generative conflict and collaboration in overlapping but non-identical idioms and histories."

Benzon Subject: Re: 31.131 unrecognised -- Math, computing, and the literary mind In-Reply-To: <20170625081506.1C8962DE4@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard et al., This business – mathematics & computing and what they offer humanists other than tools – is something I've been thinking about, off and on, since the late 1960s. Back then I wasn't interested in practical tools (for making a concordance, or stylometrics, or whatever), I was interested in thinking about how the mind worked. Of course lots of thinkers have pursued that line over the years, and while it's produced its share of nonsense, I don't think that should discredit the whole line of investigation, which is hardly unified and is still very much open-ended. As far as I know the nature of computation is itself still very much under investigation. And I figure that literary studies (my particular corner of the humanities) may well have contributions to make. That is, understanding the computational properties of the literary mind is NOT (going to be) a matter of taking some existing ensemble of computational processes and fitting them to one text after another. Rather, we – someone – is going to have to create appropriate computational procedures. Just how we – someone – get there from here, that's way beyond the scope of an email note, nor would I be able to chart a course given whatever scope I please. But I think we have to start with literary form and we must learn how to describe it. I've got some general notes on this in a working paper, Description 3: The Primacy of Visualization: https://www.academia.edu/16835585/Description_3_The_Primacy_of_Visualization Here's a somewhat more polished account (though unpublished): Sharing Experience: Computation, Form, and Meaning in the Work of Literature: https://www.academia.edu/28764246/Sharing_Experience_Computation_Form_and_Meaning_in_the_Work_of_Literature Some years ago I engaged in extensive correspondence with Mary Douglas, the anthropologist, and she got me interested in ring-composition. Texts with the form: A, B, C...X, C', B', A Why ring-composition? 1) Because it "smells" like something that requires a computational account. 2) It's something definite one can look for in a text. 3) Identifying and describing ring-composition in texts doesn't require any esoteric knowledge. But it does require the sort of feel for the phenomenon that comes only from paying close attention to texts. Douglas has published short book on the subject (her last), based on a series of lectures she delivered at Yale: Thinking in Circles: An Essay on Ring Composition (Yale 2007). There's a chapter where she lists a set of identifying features of ring-composition. I've produced a handful of working papers in which I describe ring-composition in a variety of texts. You can find those listed here: https://independent.academia.edu/BillBenzon/Ring-Composition If you're interested in reading around in that material, you might start with, Ring Composition: Some Notes on a Particular Literary Morphology: https://www.academia.edu/8529105/Ring_Composition_Some_Notes_on_a_Particular_Literary_Morphology One of the things I do in that working paper is gloss Douglas's diagnostic features as being aspects of a computational process. Finally, it's worth remembering that ordinary arithmetic (which is fairly important in the theory of computation) is, after all, a linguistic process. The symbol set is highly restricted, as is the set of rules for its use (both sets are finite); but it is a creature of language.

An executive recruiter called me to ask if I might be interested in working as a dean in Australia. He told me that Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne was seeking a new Dean for the Faculty of Design, and I had been recommended. At the time, I was Professor of Leadership and Strategic Design at the Norwegian School of Management. I had never considered a managerial role. Even so, I accepted an invitation to lunch. Then one thing followed another. The university offered me the position and I accepted. After serving a term as dean, I stayed on at Swinburne. Along the way, I had become University Distinguished Professor, and I played a role in developing Swinburne’s important new relationship with Tongji University in Shanghai. Now, a decade later, I am leaving Swinburne. There too much to say about those ten years for me to start, and too many colleagues to thank, so I’ll simply say farewell and thank you. Today, I work at the Tongji University College of Design and Innovation, and my responsibilities in Shanghai are expanding. We have had enormous success with She Ji — The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation, and success gives us more to do. I live in Kalmar, Sweden, part of the year and work in Shanghai part of the year. My colleagues are a joy to work with, and here, too, there are more stories to tell than I can fit into a short email. I’m writing to friends and colleagues to announce the change. This email remains the same. I look back on a wonderful decade at Swinburne, and I look forward to many years at Tongji.

Arnold's remarks on what a good computer course for humanists would need to cover. I agree about starting with Boolean logic--I wouldn't call it 'algebra' when teaching humanists-- and logic gates and building up from there. But I think an omission from Arnold's account is language itself. A big mystery for humanists is how a machine can hold, process, and transmit language. I teach a course for English Literature and History undergraduates that is rather like Arnold's description, except that we focus quite quickly on information theory, entropy, and the ASCII encoding scheme and how we build on it. I especially endorse Arnold's approval of Charles Petzold's book 'Code', which I think is remarkably good for this kind of course. For 'pop-culture' connexions on this course, I'm about to use the moment in the film 'The Martian' in which Matt Damon's character tries to figure out a way to communicate with NASA using only the rotational movements of a camera they control. His solution involves ASCII encodings sent as hexadecimal numbers. I'm hoping my humanities undergraduates can figure out that this isn't the best solution and can come up with a better one.

I think that computer science is even more 'not one area' than maths is, to the extent that one can wonder if it's reasonable -- now that 'doing it using a computer' is no longer an interestingly novel approach -- for 'computing science' to be a regarded as a single subject at all. There's a huge difference between someone interested in the foundations of computing (who might quite naturally be regarded as a mathematician) and someone interested in database design; and that's before you even go near what might be regarded as IT. Pure maths is interesting because it's a very different way of thinking from most other areas of the academy, even applied maths and mathematical physics, and though it usually ends up in faculties/colleges of science, I think there's no deep reason for that. I remember being surprised and (briefly) delighted at how disorientingly different were first-year university maths and school maths (a change which I understand recapitulates one aspect of the evolution of maths in the 19th century). Willard then said: > The > mathematico-engineering side of computing many people find so > difficult to > face that they end up arguing it doesn't matter or, more revealingly, > that > it doesn't matter as long as the 'engineering works' (a British > English term > for e.g. repairs to the train tracks) are done without inconvenience. The _engineering_ side of computing, which includes but is not coextensive with 'IT', is interesting in its own terms, but not hugely productive outside of the 'engineering works on the line' (a phrase which I am programmed to respond to with a resigned but keep-on-carrying-on sigh). The more mathematical areas of computing, however, can I think be very productive for a wider range of readers. I'll hum and haw at Willard's optimism that this can straightforwardly fortify the digital humanities, but I think I'd be well-advised to keep my mouth shut until I've made a dent in his reading list in today's Humanist.

Benzon Subject: Re: 31.131 unrecognised In-Reply-To: <20170625081506.1C8962DE4@digitalhumanities.org> On the relationship between computer science and math, years ago my teacher, David Hays, observed that in the study of computation, time is an analytic variable, but that is not generally the case in mathematics. Sure, you can use mathematics to measure and think about time, where time is an object of study. But it doesn’t belong to the fabric of investigation. In computing, you’re always concerned about how a process unfolds in time.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2017 09:07:23 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: consistent and explicit Quite a while ago I came up with a formula for what digital encoding demands, namely 'absolute consistency + complete explicitness'. Even if the formulation is original, the thought certainly isn't. David Gooding, in "Varying the cognitive span" (2003, in Hans Radder, Philosophy of Scientific Experimentation), put it this way: Digitisation, he wrote, > is a method designed to achieve two things: preserve the invariance > of tokens in a symbol manipulation system and to make the value of > the tokens unambiguous. (p. 283 n. 33) John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, in Theory of Games and Economic Behavior (1953), said or implied more or less the same thing. Models, they wrote, > are theoretical constructs with a precise, exhaustive and not too > complicated definition; and they must be similar to reality in those > respects which are essential in the investigation at hand. To > recapitulate in detail: The definition must be precise and exhaustive > in order to make a mathematical treatment possible. (p. 33) Roberto Busa noted in "The Annals of Humanities Computing" (1980) that, > the computer has even improved the quality of methods in philological > analysis, because its brute physical rigidity demands full accuracy, > full completeness, full systematicity. (p. 89) -- but interestingly did not point to how this improvement happens, i.e. what happens in the struggle against such seemingly impossible conditions. I would be most grateful to know of other thoughts along these lines.

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. The panel proposal should provide an overview and the abstracts of 3-4 papers. Post-Conference Publication All authors who attend the conference will be invited to submit revised papers to the special issues of the following journals: New Mathematics and Natural Computation (World Scientific) Journal of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities (Taiwanese Association for Digital Humanities) Detailed information will be announced later.

The Stanford Literary Lab is a research group that specializes in the computational and quantitative analysis of textual materials, particularly literature. Housed in the Center for Spatial and Textual Analysis (CESTA), the Literary Lab maintains a roster of internal research projects, as well as a set of collaborations, both within Stanford and with other research centers and scholars outside of the University. The lab’s work involves text mining, natural language processing tasks, statistical modeling and visualization design. For more information on the Literary Lab, please see litlab.stanford.edu. The Literary Lab seeks to hire a lead developer who will provide close computational and analytical support to current and future researchers at the lab. The lead developer will work closely with lab members, both faculty and students, to create new analytical workflows on a project by project basis and to develop and implement code that supports the core research work of the lab. One of the developer’s primary responsibilities will be maintaining the lab’s textual corpus repository, including maintaining and extending an interface and/or API to provide access to this material. Additional duties include serving as the lead programmer on lab projects, writing code for feature identification and extraction, designing new visualizations for research outcomes, and attending project and lab meetings on a regular basis. As the demands of individual projects at the lab are unique, the lead developer will be responsible for designing ad hoc computational solutions on a case by case basis, as well as developing multi-use programs that are accessible to researchers in the humanities. The lead developer will coordinate their efforts with the wider digital humanities community at Stanford, including CESTA’s other labs and projects. We expect and desire that the lead developer will dedicate a portion of their time to designing and implementing their own research projects, in keeping with the research goals and mission of the Literary Lab and in close consultation with lab directors. As a member of the Literary Lab and in accordance with our research practices, the lead developer we seek to hire will also be credited on lab publications for projects that they support. This is a two-year fixed term position at 80% time. Review of applications will begin *immediately* and continue until the position is filled. Please contact literarylab@stanford.edu with any questions about the position. The Literary Lab is committed to increasing the diversity of digital humanities research, and we encourage applications from women, people of color, and other members of groups underrepresented in DH. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) 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 5A519605A; Wed, 28 Jun 2017 08:32:52 +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 869345F80; Wed, 28 Jun 2017 08:32:51 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id DD2975F4C; Wed, 28 Jun 2017 08:32:46 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170628063246.DD2975F4C@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2017 08:32:46 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.142 shared literary annotation 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: <20170628063252.8515.72004@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 142.

The goal of the first stage of the (two-staged) shared task is the *collaborative creation of annotation guidelines*, which in turn will serve as a basis for the second round, an automatisation-oriented shared task. The 1st call for participation is to be sent in August 2017. The audience for the first round of the shared task are researchers interested in the (manual) analysis of narrative. We are sending this pre-call in order to a) make you aware of this activity and b) give you the opportunity to coordinate a possible participation with your teaching or research activities in winter/fall. Please check out our web page and feel free to point other colleagues to it. If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2017 16:57:54 -0400 From: Amanda Licastro Subject: CFP: Composition as Big Data (due 8/1) Dear Humanities Researchers, Please consider submitting a proposal for the following edited collection. Feel free to share widely (with apologies for cross-posting). This edited collection, currently under consideration, will serve as a research and methods guide for practitioners interested in conducting large-scale data-driven examinations of writing. Full CFP here: http://bit.ly/comp-as-data-cfp (which leads to http://digitocentrism.com/digital-projects/cfp-composition-as-big-data/ ) Computational analysis of big data has changed the way information is processed. Corporations analyze patterns in what people buy, how far they run, where they spend their time; they quantify habits to create more effective advertisements and cross-promotions. In academe, humanities scholars are using computational analysis to identify patterns in literary texts, historical documents, image archives, and sound, all of which has added to the body of knowledge in humanities theory and methodology. Meanwhile, many institutions and writing programs are adopting learning management systems that may digitally archive hundreds – if not thousands or tens of thousands – of student compositions from across levels and disciplines. What is our responsibility, and what is the potential, in harnessing big-data methods as composition researchers, teachers, and administrators? Composition and rhetoric scholars have begun to adopt corpus-based computational analysis both to better understand the field as a whole – through the rhetoric of job postings (Lauer), professional journals (Mueller; Almjeld et al), and dissertation records (Miller; Gatta) – and to research student compositions, the teaching of which is the primary job of most composition and rhetoric scholars. Through data-driven studies of student entrance exams (Aull), citation practices (Jamieson and Moore Howard), revision practices (Moxley), and acknowledgment of counterarguments (Lancaster), scholars have found patterns that distinguish student writing from published academic writing, suggesting areas to target for instruction. This edited collection will model and reflect on the research made possible by high-capacity data storage and computation, either alone or in conjunction with close reading and evaluation in context. Authors are invited to submit abstracts for chapters that focus on the rhetoric, methods, and findings of recent large-scale data studies of writing. We are especially interested in contributions that include replicable practices and/or detailed descriptions of method, with an eye toward graduate-level research, teaching, or administrative applications in the intersecting fields of digital humanities, linguistics, and composition. The following list of topics and questions is not exhaustive, but suggestive, illustrating the range of issues to be taken up: - Data Capture and the Captivation of Data - When we say “big data” in composition what do we mean? What datasets are available, promising, or already producing insight? - What new questions do these datasets allow us to ask or answer? What are their limitations? - How has data gathered from large corpora of (student) writing changed the scholarship and practice of composition / rhetoric? How might such data do so in the future? - Responsible Research - Who is responsible for creating or curating datasets in composition? How might the answers change at different scales? - What are the ethical responsibilities of anyone storing, retrieving, or analyzing composition data – perhaps especially where students and their writing are concerned? - How, should researchers negotiate issues of consent and representation when recording or reporting on data? How is this affected by the scale or scope of the data? - Discourse and Discovery - How can computational tools aid in the qualitative coding of (student) writing? How do these practices relate to traditional coding methods? - What data-supported models of writing practices emerge from the study of digital corpora? - What does or can big data show about the nature of expertise and learning in the context of composing? - Pedagogical Practices - How can the field of composition / rhetoric use data to positively impact pedagogical or andragogical practices? For example, how can data-supported studies improve composition instruction in higher education? - What is the relationship between distant and close reading in regard to assessing student writing? Can and/or should distant reading practices be applied to assessment at the undergraduate level, and in what ways? - What role can analysis of big data play for student researchers in composition / rhetoric? - Supporting a Data-Supported Future - What standards or best practices are emerging for data archiving, aggregation, and interoperability? - How might those new to big-data approaches most usefully manage issues of scope or documentation? - How can we best support new researchers, teachers, or administrators in developing comfort with big-data approaches and insights? What does a successful program of big-data training look like? Abstracts of approximately 350 words should provide, in as much detail as possible, the focus and argument(s) for the proposed chapter.

Also, the wish to support researchers’ new needs has consequently grown: examinations of their practices have been conducted in order to build efficient and usable resources. This presentation focuses on the information I have gathered, through interviews and user observations, on the behaviour of papyrologists in the digital age: on their practices involved in searching digital collections, in the use and management of their data, and in the creation of new knowledge. http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-05lv.html ———————————————————————————————————— 2) *Cultural Contact in Early Roman Spain through Linked Open Data resources* Paula Granados García (Open University) Although the Romanisation debate seems to be settled in English-language scholarship, other countries, such as Spain, have only just started to revise traditional discourses. During the 1900s, Spanish studies on Romanisation focused mainly on documentation of the immense amount of evidence from the Imperial perspective. This work is being re-examined through new methodologies and perspectives. Novel initiatives are emerging that aim to look at this cultural encounter from the eyes of the colonised. My research explores the possibilities offered by Linked Open Data and the Semantic Web to connect, share and make available large amounts of data regarding the question of cultural interaction. http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2017-05pgg.html ———————————————————————————————————— *Both seminars will be livecast on YouTube at https://youtu.be/-hL2bKOVeos * ALL WELCOME -- 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/ --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2017 16:08:06 +0000 From: Brandon Boesch Subject: CFP - Models and Simulations 8, March 15-17 2018, University of South Carolina Models and Simulations 8 15-17 March 2018 University of South Carolina The Department of Philosophy in collaboration with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the USC Nanocenter are hosting the 8th Models and Simulations conference (MS8) at Columbia, South Carolina. This continues a successful series of meetings focusing on the role of modeling, simulation, and computational methods in the natural and social sciences, in engineering and technology. Earlier meetings have taken place in Paris (2006), Tilburg (2007), Virginia (2009), Toronto (2010), Helsinki (2012), Notre Dame (2014), and Barcelona (2016). Plenary speakers include: - Mieke Boon (University of Twente) - Michela Massimi (University of Edinburgh) - Michael Weisberg (University of Pennsylvania) Papers and symposium proposals (3-4 participants) on any aspect of modeling and simulation are welcome. While our core constituency will be philosophers, historians, and sociologists of science, we especially encourage submissions from practicing scientists and engineers. Interdisciplinarity both as regards topics and authors is especially encouraged when developing symposium proposals. Possible topics related to modeling and simulation include: - The epistemic tools of modeling and simulation - The epistemic and practical strategies of modeling - The use of models in designing and applying technologies - Scientific representations and scientific fictions - The role of models and simulations for explanation and understanding - Model-based reasoning - Prediction, evidence and confirmation - Models and simulations as interdisciplinary objects and practices - Experimental and heuristic use of models - The ethical, economical, and social aspects of models and simulations. We will also arrange special symposia dedicated to problems of models and simulation in engineering, chemistry, particle physics, and statistics, including social dimensions of using simulation models.

The KnowRSH workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers working on the integration and creation of knowledge resources for Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities applications. In particular, KnowRSH aims at bringing together NLP researchers with historians, political scientists, philosophers, and researchers from infrastructure communities, such as CLARIN and DARIAH, ISKO and COST ENeL. The workshop is endorsed by the ACL Special Interest Group on Language Technologies for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities (SIGHUM), DARIAH-EU Working Group for Lexical Resources as well as COST ENeL . Scope and Topic Big cultural heritage data present an unprecedented opportunity for the humanities that is reshaping conventional research methods. However, digital humanities have grown past the stage where the mere availability of digital data was enough as a demonstrator of possibilities. Knowledge resource modelling, development, enrichment and integration is crucial for associating relevant information in pools of digital material which are not only scattered across various archives, libraries and collections, but they also often lack relevant metadata. Within this research framework, NLP approaches originally stemming from lexico-semantic information extraction and knowledge resource representation, modelling, development and reuse have a pivotal role to play. From the NLP perspective, applications of knowledge resources for the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities present numerous interesting research challenges that relate among others to the development of historical lexico-semantic sources and annotated corpora, addressing ambiguity and variation in historical sources and the development of knowledge resources for NLP tool adaptation purposes, using NLP techniques for semantic interlinking, mapping, and integration of existing knowledge resources. Moreover, a recently renewed interest in linguistic linked data approaches to language resources presents both a challenge and an opportunity for NLP researchers working in the Socio-Economic Sciences and Humanities domains, for linking cultural heritage and humanities data sources to linguistic linked data information. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Cultural and lexico-semantic knowledge resource development and enrichmentKnowledge resource data models Linked data approaches for the Socio-Economic Sciences and the Humanities Semantic linking of objects in digital libraries (libraries, archives, museums and any cultural heritage institution with digital collections available) Deep annotation of documents in the Humanities Cultural and lexico-semantic knowledge resource integration Knowledge resources for NLP tools domain adaptation Knowledge metadata standards & de-facto standards evolution and application Dealing with variation and historical language use in developing and applying knowledge resources Dealing with cultural and historical information ambiguity and underspecification Information for authors Authors are invited to submit papers on original, unpublished work in the topic area of the workshop, related use cases, or system demos. Long papers should present completed work and may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, and any number of additional pages containing references only. Short papers/demos can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to six (6) pages of content, and any number of additional pages containing references only. All submissions should be formatted using the ACL based stylesheets provided for RANLP. The reviewing process will be double-blind; the papers should not include the authors' names and affiliations, or any references to web sites, project names, etc., revealing the authors' identity. Furthermore, self-references that reveal the author's identity, should be avoided. Authors should not use anonymous citations and should not include any acknowledgments. Double submission is acceptable, but authors will be asked to declare it at the time of submission. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and uploaded on the ACL Anthology. Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF format, at the RANLP/KnowRSH submission website. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: June 30, 2017 July 16, 2017 (extended) Notification of acceptance: July 28, 2017 August 13, 2017 (extended) Camera-ready papers due: August 20, 2017 KnowRSH workshop: September 7, 2017 --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2017 15:30:22 +0000 From: Lise Jaillant Subject: Save the date - Workshop 2 - British Academy project "After the Digital Revolution" Dear all, Save the date for the second workshop of “After the Digital Revolution: Bringing together archivists and scholars to preserve born-digital records and produce new knowledge” - funded by my British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award.

They take as their example a hypothetical cat that weighs 40 pounds, which is much more than would be normal for a Siamese cat. They provide a table of data showing the weights of 100 Siamese cats, in which 85 cats weighed 5 pounds or more, 50 cats weighed 10 pounds or more, 30 cats weighed 15 pounds or more, 15 cats weighed 20 pounds or more, 7 cats weighed 25 pounds or more, 2 cats weighed 30 pounds or more, and no cats weighed 40 pounds or more. The Null Hypothesis is that this 40-pound cat is a Siamese. Juola and Ramsay write about the data just mentioned: << This table, then, gives us an estimate of the probability that if the cat sitting in front of you were Siamese, it would weigh as much as it does (or more). >> (pp. 248-9). This seems to me to be problematic as a statement. The probability that (if some hypothesis is true) the cat would weigh as much as it does is surely 100%, since we can be quite sure that the cat does indeed weigh as much as it does. That necessity is built into the English phrase "weigh as much as it does". The matter of likelihood surely applies not to the cat's weight (which is certain) but rather to its breed (which is uncertain). I realize that this might seem like a quibble about terminology, but I don't think it is. I think there is some more pervasive inversion of logic going on here. Juola and Ramsay rightly say that the probability value implied by the data give us "the probability that the observed data would be seen if the null hypothesis were true". But then they follow this with the assertion that: << At this point, the test becomes simple logic. If the cat were an ordinary Siamese, it would probably not weigh forty pounds. Therefore, if it does weigh forty pounds, it's probably not an ordinary Siamese. >> This statement seems to me to commit a well-known fallacy. The probability value is a remark on how often the observed data should be expected if the Null Hypothesis is true, not a remark on the truthfulness of the Null Hypothesis. To see why we cannot safely move from their premise (the infrequency of the observed data being observed) to their conclusion (that the Null Hypothesis is untrue), take the case of a lottery. Our Null Hypothesis is that the lottery is run purely on chance with no cheating or bias, or in other words that it is 'fair'. Suppose that the likelihood of my one ticket winning this lottery, if it is 'fair', is less than one chance in a million (p < 0.000001). And suppose I do indeed win with my one ticket. If I were to follow Juola and Ramsay's logic I would argue like this: << At this point, the test becomes simple logic. If the lottery were fair, my ticket would be very unlikely to win. Therefore, if I do win, it's very unlikely to be a 'fair' lottery. >> This is clearly a false conclusion, but I got to it using precisely the logic that Juola and Ramsay tell us to use. Did I go wrong somewhere, or are Juola and Ramsay indeed committing a logical fallacy here? I have a personal interest in this that explains why I turned straight to their account of the Null Hypothesis, since such logic has recently been used to much rhetorical effect in my own specialized area, which is authorship attribution by internal evidence. It matters to me whether I'm understanding this topic properly or not, and I'm genuinely asking members of this list to correct me if I'm mistaken. In raising this question, I make no critique of any other part of Juola and Ramsay's book and I should record that I applaud their making it available via Green Open Access.

I quote its first paragraph and a snippet from a bit further on: > All digital technologies share one thing: they operate on the basis > of a discrete code. Usually this code is binary, constructed from > sequences of binary digits or bits, each of which can be in one of > two states, named 0 and 1. The most basic contention of this book is > that the binary code, which defines and enables digital technology, > is consequential; the 0s and 1s that allow a machine to operate > digitally lend to that machine something of their character or way of > being. Logic of the Digital articulates this ontology, describing how > the binary code reveals itself throughout the digital and so also in > the thought and action of those who live with and within digital > technologies. > ... > A code such as the binary code is not a neutral surface of > inscription but lends its character to the objects and actions it > encodes....

Are they cognizant of the theoretical confusion that underpins computing? Dozen of theories deals with informatics, but this wealth of works does not make a coherent knowledge base. Computing theories do not offer a real epistemological contribution because of their partial range of vision that turns out to be self-referential, abstract and sometime contradictory. Even theories which address the same theme are often not connected either logically or causally, or by shared characteristics. Are computing theories useful? For sure. Each construction aids the practitioners involved in the underpinned sectorial activity. It may be said that every theory provides 'operational' assistance but appears absolutely insufficient to cover the broad scenario addressed by those who want to grasp the core of computing.

I may be able to re-explain this (the following is a slightly protracted account, but intended to be complementary to Juola and Ramsay's account rather than at all disagreeing with it). > The Null Hypothesis is that this 40-pound cat is a Siamese. That's right -- the Null Hypothesis is usually the boring hypothesis, or the no-new-science-here hypothesis. You haven't discovered a new breed of cat, with Siamese-like markings, just a reeeally fat Siamese. But 40 lb is surprisingly heavy for a Siamese -- really very surprising. But how surprising, numerically? The argument on Juola and Ramsay's p248 gives a necessarily rather hand-waving estimate that the probability of a Siamese cat being this heavy is about 1%. But this cat (as Gabriel points out) is certainly 40 lb. So we have a right to be astonished -- this is a very unlikely thing (chance of 1%) to come across. So at this point we can either (a) decide that today is a weird day, and that being accosted by enormous felidae probably won't be the end of it, or (b) decide that we don't believe in coincidences, and that something is wrong. Since we do believe (100%) that the cat is that heavy, perhaps it's our hypothesis that this is a Siamese that is wrong, so we decide to reject that Null Hypothesis. > << At this point, the test becomes simple logic.

That's exactly right (except that it's not a fallacy): this figure of 1% is just a remark on the unlikeliness of what we've seen, given the Null Hypothesis. It's our choice to take the next step and decide to take a closer look at that suddenly-suspicious hypothesis. The 1% (or probability of 0.01, written as p=0.01) is the justification we can claim for that decision. A p-value of p=0.10 (or 10%) is pretty marginal, p=0.05 is publishable, p=0.01 is pretty good, as these things go, at least in the social and life sciences -- that is, no-one would reproach you for concluding, at least provisionally, that this is not a Siamese cat, first appearances notwithstanding. Particle physicists (when discovering Higgs particles) like '5-sigma', or about 0.00006%, as a criterion. One could write a book about the interpretive logic here (and folk have) -- this is by no means terminological quibbling -- but I think a key point is that the conclusions in statistical logic are not as obligatory as in the deductive logic earlier in the book. The step from 'p=0.01' to 'that is not a Siamese' is an inductive leap that we decide to make, with a warrant based on the statistical analysis. I think that Juola and Ramsay's account in their Sect. 4.3.1 makes this sound more obligatory than it should be, but in contrast their Sect 4.3.2 is really saying that the decision is part of a larger very contingent discussion. The above is a 'frequentist' account, based on probabilities. The other doctrine is 'bayesian' (who are not to be left alone with frequentists in the presence of sharp objects). In the bayesian interpretation, we start off with some numerical degree of 'a priori' belief that the cat is a Siamese cat, and the discovery that it weighs 40 lb, combined with our knowledge of the distribution of cats' weights, allows us (using Bayes Theorem) to update our belief that this is a Siamese, specifically ending up with a rather _smaller_ 'a posteriori' belief that it is a Siamese. The maths is much the same, but the rationale for our change of mind is substantially different. > I have a personal interest > in this that explains why I turned straight to their account > of the Null Hypothesis, since such logic has recently been > used to much rhetorical effect in my own specialized area, > which is authorship attribution by internal evidence. It > matters to me whether I'm understanding this topic > properly or not, and I'm genuinely asking members of this > list to correct me if I'm mistaken. I suspect the underlying argument (and I'm recapitulating a logic I'm sure you already understand) would go something like this: 1. you calculate some statistic or other from a given text -- say, the average word length (though obviously much more sophisticated statistics would be more helpful); 2. by analysing texts known to be by a particular author, Fred, you can determine the properties (for example mean and variance) of that statistic for Fred's texts; 3. for a new text X, you calculate the value of the statistic for the text X, and then adopting the null hypothesis that 'X is by Fred', you ask how unlikely this value is -- how surprised you are that Fred should write such a text -- given the known mean and variance obtained in (2). Given that unlikelihood, you can then have a discussion about how defensible it is to ascribe the text X to Fred. The statistics feed into the rhetoric of this discussion; they don't supplant it. In the real case, I imagine one calculates multiple statistics for Fred's texts, calculates the same for broadly comparable texts by all authors, and then combines these various distributions together in a statistically sophisticated way. The maths at this point becomes fairly hellish, but it remains a more sophisticated version of the basically straightforward argument above. I see that Juola and Ramsay touch on this sort of argument in their Sect 4.4.2. I hope this shines a torch into the gloom. ---- Just in passing: Juola and Ramsay have written an _ambitious_ book! They say near the beginning of Chap. 6 'this is a challenging chapter'. Well, it looks to me as if Chap 1--5 are pretty challenging, too.

One reason I am certain of your wide experience is your statement, "The above is a 'frequentist' account, based on probabilities. The other doctrine is 'bayesian' (who are not to be left alone with frequentists in the presence of sharp objects)." --henry P.S. I've found that many frequentists in the life sciences use the Bonferroni Correction - which somewhat moves out of the orthodox frequentist territory.

On the one hand it will look at the overlap between ontologies and computational linguistics; and on the other the relationship between knowledge modelling and terminologies -- as well as the many points of intersection between these two topics. Languages and Ontologies: Formal ontologies are taking on an increasingly important role in computational linguistics and automated language processing. Knowledge models and ontologies are of interest to several areas of NLP including, but not limited to, Machine Translation, Question Answering, and Word Sense Disambiguation. At a more abstract level ontologies can help us to model and reason about natural language semantics. They can be also used for the organisation and formalisation of linguistically relevant categories such as those used in tagsets for corpus annotation. At the same time, the fact that formal ontologies are being increasingly accessed by users with a limited or with no background in formal logic has led to a growing interest in the development of front ends that allow for the easy editing, querying and summarisation of such resources; it has also led to work in developing natural language interfaces for authoring and for evaluating ontologies. Another area that is now beginning to receive more attention is the application of ontologies and taxonomies to the annotation and study of literary texts, as well as of texts more generally in the humanities. This is closely related to the ontology-enhanced modelling of lexicographic resources, another topic which is gaining in popular. This brings us to the field of terminology as a linguistic field, where in recent years there has been a shift from merely compiling specialized lexicographic resources to exploring terminology as a tool for structuring knowledge in a given domain. As such, this has led to more intelligent ways of accessing, extracting, representing, modelling, visualising and transferring knowledge. Numerous tools for the automatic extraction of terms, term variants, knowledge-rich contexts, definitions, semantic relations, and taxonomies from specialized corpora have been developed for a number of languages and new theoretical approaches have emerged as potential frameworks for the study of specialized communicatio
