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 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.

CFP: American Studies and DH --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2017 12:02:18 +0200 From: Aurélien_Berra Subject: Humanités numériques journal: first call for contributions Dear colleagues, We are delighted to announce the first call for contributions to a new francophone journal, Humanités numériques. You will find the text of the call below and online. We invite you to submit a proposal and help us circulate this call. If you have any question, please let us know. Au plaisir de vous lire ! Aurélien Berra, on behalf of the committees --- <>Revue Humanités numériques : premier appel à contribution Humanités numériques est une revue francophone consacrée aux usages savants du numérique en sciences humaines et sociales. Cette revue veut offrir un lieu de réflexion, de débat scientifique et d’expression aux chercheurs et enseignants dont les travaux s’inscrivent dans le champ des humanités numériques. Elle s’adresse donc aux spécialistes des sciences humaines, des sciences sociales et des disciplines liées aux technologies de l’information, ainsi qu’à tous ceux qui se sentent concernés par les transformations numériques des savoirs. Humanités numériques est une revue numérique ouverte, à la fois par sa volonté de représenter la diversité des points de vue et par son choix d’une publication en open access. Émanation de l’association francophone Humanistica http://www.humanisti.ca/ , elle est conçue comme une réponse collective à la revendication liminaire du Manifeste des Digital Humanities de 2010, première manifestation francophone de ce mouvement : pour constituer, faire connaître et faire reconnaître « une communauté de pratique solidaire, ouverte, accueillante et libre d’accès », nous avons besoin d’une culture commune, élaborée en français mais en constante relation avec les productions des autres aires linguistiques, fondée sur des références et des discussions d’un autre ordre que celles des séminaires, des colloques, des listes de diffusion, des blogs ou des réseaux sociaux. La rencontre des sciences de l’homme et de la société avec le calcul, avec l’informatique et avec la culture numérique se rattache à plus d’un demi-siècle de recherches et, au delà, aux métamorphoses millénaires des technologies de l’information. Penser cette histoire, ou plutôt ces histoires nationales et locales, est d’ailleurs l’une des orientations récentes des humanités numériques, qui – nous en prenons acte – incluent aussi bien les réflexions sur les infrastructures, les standards et les outils que la discussion de projets collaboratifs, aussi bien les propositions théoriques que l’inscription dans l’histoire des techniques, aussi bien l’étude des modalités d’accès et de diffusion que l’élaboration de méthodes d’analyse, aussi bien la description des pratiques informatiques devenues ordinaires que la possibilité de nouvelles cultures épistémiques, aussi bien, enfin, les enjeux de l’institutionnalisation que la critique des modes ou des idéologies. Cet inventaire est délibérément ouvert, car la recherche et l’enseignement vivent une époque de transition, dans laquelle les humanités numériques constituent avant tout, à nos yeux, une zone d’échange entre disciplines, entre métiers, entre cultures. Par ses articles et ses dossiers thématiques, et dans un second temps par l’introduction d’autres rubriques, la revue entend stimuler cette réinvention. Expérimentation, réflexivité, hybridation, dialogue : tels sont donc les maîtres mots de l’aventure scientifique que nous voulons accompagner, sans illusion technophile, sans irénisme technocratique, mais avec l’enthousiasme et le goût de la découverte qui colorent le plus souvent ces travaux. En vous proposant de contribuer aux premiers numéros de la revue, nous faisons le pari qu’il existe un vivier d’auteurs et d’acteurs prêts à objectiver, chroniquer et critiquer, au sens le plus riche du terme, l’évolution de leurs pratiques et de leur pensée. Sous le titre « Disciplines et/ou humanités numériques », le premier numéro sera consacré aux relations entre les disciplines existantes et les technologies numériques. Il s’agira de saisir des pratiques collectives, des parcours personnels, des habitudes méthodologiques, des cadres institutionnels ou des méthodes d’enseignement, dans ce qu’ils ont de typique et d’intéressant. Les contributions pourront prendre la forme d’articles de recherche de format traditionnel, de témoignages et de retours d’expérience. Le deuxième numéro, intitulé « Regards sur des projets en humanités numériques », offrira l’occasion de présenter et de problématiser des projets de recherche en insistant sur leurs aspects les plus pertinents : genèse, inspirations, objectifs scientifiques, modes d’élaboration, choix technologiques, types de collaboration, etc. Nous vous encourageons à proposer une lecture d’un projet même si vous n’en êtes pas l’un des principaux artisans, parce qu’il nous semble fécond de croiser le point de vue des porteurs de projets et celui des usagers que nous sommes tous. Expliciter les critères d’évaluation des projets en humanités numériques est l’un des axes de réflexion envisageables ; vous êtes cependant libres de définir l’approche qui vous convient. Vous pouvez également proposer des articles hors des thématiques de nos appels, tant que leur rapport avec les humanités numériques est apparent, ou bien des contributions décrivant des jeux de données scientifiques (data papers). Pour ces deux numéros, dont la publication est prévue en 2018, nous vous invitons à soumettre vos propositions pour le 15 décembre 2017 à l’adresse revue.humanistica@gmail.com. Ces propositions doivent être envoyées au format PDF exclusivement. La longueur des articles n’est pas prédéfinie, même si nous considérons que 50.000 signes, espaces et notes comprises, représentent une limite courante. Les références dans le texte doivent suivre le modèle « auteur-date » (par exemple, « Bourdieu 1977 ») et les références bibliographiques doivent être complètes et cohérentes. Il vous est possible d’intégrer à votre texte des images et des enregistrements audio ou vidéo. Après acceptation des articles, nous vous demanderons d’utiliser un modèle actuellement en cours de création. Les fichiers seront fournis dans l’un des formats suivants : DOC, DOCX, LaTeX, ODT ou XML TEI. Ils devront être accompagnés d’un fichier de bibliographie suivant un format structuré : BibTeX, RDF ou RIS ; l’export des références depuis un gestionnaire de bibliographie comme Zotero est recommandé. <> <>Les auteurs conservent leurs droits sur les articles, mais la publication dans la revue Humanités numériques se fera sous la licence internationale Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike (CC-BY-SA 4.0). Nous serons heureux d’échanger avec vous au sujet de vos projets de contributions, si cela vous paraît utile.

CFP: American Studies and DH The deadline for this special issue of American Quarterly has been extended to August 1. Please share in other venues, and please consider submitting your work! Address any questions to aqdhissue2018@gmail.com. -Susan Call for Papers Special Issue: Toward a Critically Engaged Digital Practice: American Studies and the Digital Humanities https://www.americanquarterly.org/submit/cfp.html Guest Editors: Matthew Delmont, Arizona State University Amy Earhart, Texas A&M University Susan Garfinkel, Library of Congress / University of Maryland Jesse P. Karlsberg, Emory University Angel David Nieves, Hamilton College Lauren Tilton, University of Richmond In June 1999 American Quarterly published an experimental online issue and concurrent print symposium combining "hypertext and American studies scholarship." The project, wrote editor Roy Rosenzweig in his introduction, "tried to bring together something rather old-fashioned and established-the scholarly journal article-with something new and still emerging-the networked and digital space of the World Wide Web." Nearly two decades later, American studies scholars continue to examine the possibilities of digital tools, methods, platforms, and environments as well as the place of an expanded digital humanities in the formation of central themes and areas of inquiry within contemporary American studies. The 2018 special issue of American Quarterly, "Toward a Critically Engaged Digital Practice: American Studies and the Digital Humanities," will explore digital humanities as a designation, as an associated constellation of technologies and practices, and as a site of convergence for interdisciplinary scholarship. Propelled by the ever-increasing power of computing and grounded in the ongoing development of a networked new media, digital humanities scholarship has coalesced around a shared set of values: that theory can be engaged through practice, that scholarship should be open and accessible to all, and that collaboration is pivotal. At the same time, American studies scholars in the digital humanities have renewed the important work of investigating cultural and political formations, excavating power relations, and expanding scholarly inquiry to encompass the everyday as much as the exceptional. With this special issue, we seek to open a new phase of this discussion by overtly exploring the connections between critically engaged forms of American studies and the digital humanities. We anticipate submissions that navigate this critical engagement through attention to concerns of subject, scope, and method in digital research, as well as the ethical issues surrounding current digital practice: big data, privacy, and appropriation; canon formation, Indigenous archives, and archival silences; complicity through dependence on available funding streams; and collaborative labor across disciplines, roles, and institutions. We are particularly interested in essays and projects that are invested in transnationality, queer/quare theory, critical ethnic studies, settler colonialism and postcolonial theory, WOC/Black feminism, Indigenous studies, and disability studies as they currently help shape the intersections between digital humanities and American studies. The special issue will include print and digital components and will be organized into two sections. For the first section, essays on theory, method, and practice at the intersection of digital humanities and American studies, using traditional as well as experimental essay formats, will be welcome. The second section, published digitally, will feature digital projects and multimedia essays engaging American studies topics that likewise address this issue's central concerns. We imagine that digital projects and multimedia essays might be of varying lengths and completeness. We encourage submission of well-defined and significant projects large and small, including components of larger projects if the portion is complete. Hybrid presentation formats will also be considered. Submission of digital projects and multimedia essays should include * a one-page abstract of the project, discussing how the project critically engages with American studies and digital humanities themes; and * a link to the project. Possible topics include but are not limited to the following: * how digital tools and methods are imbricated with important categories of analysis in American studies, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability; * digital tools and methods that transform the study of texts, artifacts, persons, histories, and cultures; * collaborative scholarship and inter/transdisciplinarity; * epistemological approaches to digital humanities and American studies; * work, acknowledgment, and precarity in relation to digital humanities and alt-academics; * digital humanities as public engaged scholarship; * global, postcolonial, and transnational contexts for understanding the Americas, American studies, and/or digital humanities based in emerging forms of scholarship; * possibilities and limitations for digital humanities and American studies in colleges and universities, including pedagogy at the undergraduate and graduate levels; * implicit and/or explicit class structures in digital formations, including digital divides around infrastructure, hardware, software, institutions, communities, locations, and cultures; * scholarly communication as redefined by the environment of digital affordances; * multilingual approaches to digital humanities and American studies; and * (lack of) diversity in computing-related fields. Submissions are due August 1, 2017. Authors must address the guest editors and clearly indicate in a cover letter that the submission is intended for the special issue. Also, please indicate which section, either print or digital, the submission is intended for. Accepted submissions will appear in American Quarterly, volume 70, issue 3 (Fall 2018).

Even theories which address the same theme are often not connected either logically or causally, or by shared characteristics." Our theories are extremely “sectorial,” and we are the champions of applying such theories to overly-“broad scenarios”. So I’m comfortable with the “confusion that underpins computing” because it appear no less messy than any of the scores of theories native to our field. Jeremy M.

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’ve developed this topic from the educational perspective in: Guest Editorial - Informatics and Electronics Education: Some Remarks IEEE Transactions on Education http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=7529250 All the best Paolo Rocchi Docent Emeritus IBM via Shangai 53, 00144 Roma Adjunct Professor LUISS University via Romania 32, 00197 Roma --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 07:04:52 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: theories In-Reply-To: <20170701075221.2C4811B8F@digitalhumanities.org> In response to Paolo Rocchi on theoretical confusions, I'd ask that first we look at what the word 'theory' is used to identify across the disciplines so that a usage e.g. in physics is not unwittingly applied outside the domain in which it makes sense. As an exercise I can recommend that one samples and then compares usages in the natural, social and human sciences. Very different critters.

To account for my remark by way of an example, let me quote the following passage from the Foreword to volume 2 of the Collected Works of the French mathematician Claude Chevalley: « In 1982, Claude Chevalley expressed three specific wishes with respect to the publication of his Works. First, he stated very clearly that such a publication should include his non technical papers. His reasons for that were two-fold. One reason was his life long commitment to epistemology and to politics, which made him strongly opposed to the view otherwise currently held that mathematics involves only half of a man. As he wrote to G. C. Rota on November 29th, 1982: "An important number of papers published by me are not of a mathematical nature. Some have epistemological features which might explain their presence in an edition of collected papers of a mathematician, but quite a number of them are concerned with theoretical politics ( ... ) they reflect an aspect of myself the omission of which would, I think, give a wrong idea of my lines of thinking". On the other hand, Chevalley thought that the Collected Works of a mathematician ought to be read not only by other mathematicians, but also by historians of science. » Yours, -dino buzzetti -- Dino Buzzetti formerly Department of Philosophy University of Bologna ​ ​ currently Fondazione per le Scienze Religiose Giovanni XXIII via san Vitale, 114 I-40125 Bologna BO e-mail: dino.buzzetti (at) gmail.com buzzetti (at) fscire.it web: http://web.dfc.unibo.it/buzzetti/ http://www.fscire.it/index.php/it/ricercatori/dino-buzzetti-2/ ​ ​ --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 07:25:26 -0500 From: James Rovira Subject: Re: 31.157 digital logic and theoretical confusions In-Reply-To: <20170704061137.E894B676A@digitalhumanities.org> Can we begin by distinguishing between "humanities" theories and "literary" theories? Without philosophy, we don't have the concept of the "epistemological." Literary theory is more than self-referential in that it comments on the social and linguistic, and more often on their intersections. I can't speak to the validity of the claim about computing theory. But, I know that. Since we can't even talk about these issues without "humanities theory," we shouldn't be so reductive of them. Jim R --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 14:30:12 -0400 From: Henry Schaffer Subject: Re: 31.157 digital logic and theoretical confusions In-Reply-To: <20170704061137.E894B676A@digitalhumanities.org> I really want to say something about Paolo Rocchi's letter and essay in IEEE Transactions on Education - but I don't write as well as he does and perhaps that's why I really don't know where to start. Nonetheless, I'll give a few thoughts. We're stuck with the name "Computer Science" - but since that area started, it's been clear to me that it really isn't a "science". It's a conglomeration of many small areas that we pretend are a unified whole. Spreadsheets and cryptography are not as close as apples and oranges. Combinatorics is math (or stat?) but its subfield of graph theory leads to graph algorithms which are clearly in the computing arena (may I call it that instead of "science"?) Next comes implementation - which certainly may include both recursive and iterative programs, since efficiency may over-ride elegance and clarity. Oh, implementation - in some sense all computer languages (at least the Turing complete ones) are equivalent - but we're in the world of implementation, of practical considerations, and in that world languages are not equivalent. Maybe in theory there are no differences between C and C++ - but there are major differences in what happens when you have a team of 100's of programmers trying to finish a project. That's not science - well, it may be Psychology, but it isn't Computer Science - or is it? So, to me, it's no wonder that there aren't just a few unifying underlying theories which encompass the entire field - rather there are too many disparate fields for that. (And I didn't even get into "Agile". :-) So, IMHO, it's not strange that there is a lot of disagreement and many approaches to crafting an ideal CS curriculum. --henry _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id E9C1367C3; Wed, 5 Jul 2017 07:09:33 +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 09BE71B86; Wed, 5 Jul 2017 07:09:33 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CBE0867AE; Wed, 5 Jul 2017 07:09:29 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170705050929.CBE0867AE@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2017 07:09:29 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.159 events: coding as cultural technique 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: <20170705050933.22523.69415@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 159.

Craske's work challenges the relationship between science and art, and highlights the deep materiality of texts that can be lost in the rush to digitisation. Going beyond one specific book, the show is a speculative presentation of Biological Hermeneutics as an established and respected transdiscipline, within the historic walls of Chetham's Library. "Biological Hermeneutics is a branch of knowledge that develops the concept of books as centres of microbial data & data transfer by discovering, identifying and re-presenting the biological information contained by the physical page. Through artistic, historical & scientific enquiry, Biological Hermeneutic scholars believe that we should move from the traditional practice of collection & taxonomy of the physical archive & propose a new system of knowledge & understanding." Sarah Craske, 2017 The establishment of the transdiscipline manifests itself in various artistic forms: signage of the exhibition; a visitor leaflet; a Wikipedia page; curated temporary displays within Chetham's collections; a Biological Hermeneutic department temporarily installed on site; and an exhibition of The Metamorphoses Chapter, a complete retranslation of Book 3 into its microbial landscape. Artist's biography Sarah Craske has been developing the concept of transdisciplinarity through art and science collaboration since 2014. She set up a research team that included Prof Charlotte Sleigh, a historian of science at the University of Kent and Dr Simon Park, a microbiologist at the University of Surrey. Their research was subsequently funded by the AHRC. In 2016, a showing from Biological Hermeneutics at Central St Martins was awarded the Mullen Lowe Nova Award that "recognises the next creative stars of the future by recognising and celebrating the innovators and risk takers." Chetham's Library Chetham's Library in Manchester is the oldest free public reference library in the United Kingdom and is housed in a medieval college building dating from 1421. The library was founded by Humphrey Chetham in 1653 and holds more than 100,000 volumes of printed books, of which 60,000 were published before 1851. Its collections are of national importance. Chetham's is usually closed to the public at the weekends, but will be opening on Saturdays for the duration of the exhibition. http://library.chethams.com The exhibition continues until August 26th, 2017. For the duration of the exhibition, Chetham's will be open Monday-Friday, from 9.30-12.30 and 1.30-4.30; and on Saturdays from 11.00 - 4.00. Tours of the library will also be available; see http://www.jonathanschofieldtours.com/exclusive-chethams-library-and-college-house.html for details.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2017 14:05:17 +0000 From: "Flanders, Julia" Subject: new special issue policies for Digital Humanities Quarterly Digital Humanities Quarterly is updating its policies concerning the submission, review, and acceptance of special issues, in response to an increasing volume of submissions and special issue proposals. The goal of these changes is to enable the journal to focus its efforts on a smaller number of special issues overall, while ensuring that the process of selection remains fair and transparent. Special issue proposals that were already accepted at the time of this change are unaffected and will be published as planned. Starting this summer, DHQ will issue two calls for proposals for special issues each year, with deadlines at the end of July and January. Special issue proposals are reviewed by the DHQ editorial board, taking into account the relevance and intellectual significance of the theme, the quality of any materials submitted (such as drafts or extended abstracts), the qualifications of the special issue editors and authors in relation to the proposed topic, and the feasibility of the issue given DHQ’s production and workflow constraints. All submissions to special issues are externally peer reviewed following DHQ's normal review procedures. More detailed information about the process can be found here: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/submissions/specialIssuesGuidelines.html This year, since the first deadline is coming up fairly soon, we will accept short expressions of intent at the July deadline with full proposals due at the end of August. DHQ has also begun a pilot series of language-specific special issues, with the goal of increasing the journal's capacity in handling submissions in languages other than English. The first two pilot issues (in French and Spanish) will be published later this year. Articles for these issues will be published in the original language, with abstracts in both English and the original language; articles may also be translated into English or other languages. Each of these issues gives the journal an opportunity to recruit reviewers in additional languages, whom we can draw on to review future submissions in those languages. Proposals for special issues in this series may be submitted at any time and will be considered separately from our regular special issue process. The CFPs for the initial issues in this series are available in our CFP archive (http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/submissions/cfps_archive.html) Thanks to all of the guest editors, authors, and reviewers who have produced such excellent work for special issues in the past!

The conference will be held at the University of Kent, Historic Royal Dockyard Church, at the Historic Dockyard Chatham on our Medway campus, on the 7th and 8th September 2017. 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/ or, to register: https://kenthospitality.kent.ac.uk/Register/Registration/Welcome.aspx?e=8808F45019E82DE7F407C393310705EA 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 July 28th 2017. Notification of acceptance expected August 4th 2017. For any general enquiries, please contact Kent's Eastern ARC Officer, Sarah Tetley, s.r.tetley-8@kent.ac.uk or consult the webpage at: http://easternarc.ac.uk/latest-news/2017-digital-humanities-conference-7-8-september-university-of-kent/, or registration page at: https://kenthospitality.kent.ac.uk/Register/Registration/Welcome.aspx?e=8808F45019E82DE7F407C393310705EA : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Dr Benjamin N.

A large amount of detailed data is collected during collation, and needs to be analysed and visualized. In the recent years, the use of digital format has been increasingly incorporated within the collation workflow: from writing down variants in Word or Excel documents to adopting complex automated collation tools such as CollateX. This presentation will focus on a method to help scholars and readers visualize collation results of a Latin text in a digital format.

In-Reply-To: <20170622054511.E8D401B41@digitalhumanities.org> Dear All I waited to see if Sinai Rusinek (posting of 22 June 2017) would get a flood of expert advice on making a couple of databases, one built in Microsoft Access and one built in Drupal, "open, reusable and sustainable". The associated data consists of PDFs with an OCR layer, audio files, and video files. There was I think only one posted response, so I'll give my advice based on preserving for online consumption a few databases of a few tens-of-thousands of records (texts and images) each, originally made in the 1990s and early 2000s. The first two desiderata, "open" and reusable", are much easier to achieve than the last one, "sustainable", if by "sustainable" we mean that someone will be able to add new records to the databases in the future. If by "sustainable" we mean merely that the existing records will be retained in a form that can be preserved (kept available to users) indefinitely, then "sustaintable" is pretty easy to achieve too. So, assuming that the desire is to keep the existing records available to users and the data open and reusable, I would recommend: * Convert all the PDFs to PDF/A, the open archive format ratified by the International Standards Organization (ISO). * Convert all the audio files to WAV format. Although this is not an open format, it's so widely used that it's nearly as good as one. There isn't an open format for audio that is also widely used now. When one emerges, you can transcode to that. * Convert all the video files to H.264/MPEG-4. Again, not an open format but a de facto standard that won't suddenly become obsolete. There isn't an open format for video that is also widely used now. When one emerges, you can transcode to that. * Have the Access database and Drupal database each export their records as static HTML with links to all the converted content text, sound, and video. A static HTML database will continue to work for many years without modification or maintenance. Because it exists as a series of read-only HTML files on your web-server, with no software running on the server side other than the simplest of web- server programs, it is virtually immune to hacking and has no ongoing maintenance cost. If your server does get hacked, you upload the full set of HTML and content files to some other simple web-server and carry on: no mess to clean up, no patching to do. (Obviously, you need to keep a spare copy of the entire static-HTML dataset in a safe place to do this.) BUT a static HTML database is not easy to add new records to. In the 'export' process, Access and Drupal will have made decisions about how to name each HTML file and each cross-reference in the record-set that they won't have asked you about, so to add new records you need to figure out what conventions they were using. This is do-able, but not straightforward. So, the key question is "do I want to be able to add new records to these databases in the future?" If you don't, spin off static-HTML versions of them and think of them as essentially fixed archives. If you do, you need either to maintain a Content Management System (like Drupal) to do the work, or else see if someone can figure out how to add records to the static HTML version. I wouldn't hold them up as "examples of best practice" in this regard, but the projects "Modernist Magazines" and "The Hockliffe Project" and "Caxton's Chaucer" at http://cts.dmu.ac.uk are working examples of static HTML spinoffs from Content Management System databases (one of which was Drupal, I believe) and they meet the basic need of keeping the digital materials online, findable, and reusable.

To that end, we would be very grateful if you would take the time to complete a survey on this subject. By participating in this survey, you will be providing us with your thoughts on how inclusive design can be improved, and helping us to understand how this important issue affects scholarly editors, information professionals and computer scientists. In turn, we hope to use the results of this survey as a part of our presentation on a panel about Design and Dissemination of Digital Editions at the Digital Humanities annual conference. Here is a link to the panel abstract. As an incentive for our respondents, we are offering a raffle of 25 digital Amazon gift cards in denominations of $20/€20 (as the case may be). We will randomly select 25 recipients to receive these gift cards as a thank you for completing the survey.* Here is a link to the survey. It'll take you about 10 minutes. We will keep all responses anonymous and guard your data very securely. If you have any questions about how the data we collect will be used, please do not hesitate to contact Merisa Martinez at Merisa.martinez@hb.se.

This project is embedded in the CLiPS research group in Antwerp, which focuses on building quantitative models of natural language. Using data-driven methods, including Statistics and Machine Learning, members of our team study various aspects of language acquisition and production. CLiPS has a unique track record in the study of language acquisition in children with cochlear implants. In this project we aim at using models of deep learning that are able to discriminate the speech of children with normal hearing from the speech of deaf children with a cochlear implant. Adult speakers can make such discriminations, but the characteristics underlying this identifiability remain elusive. This project aims to leverage advances in deep representation learning (neural networks) for modelling raw audio signals to advance our understanding of this phenomenon. More information can be found here: https://www.uantwerpen.be/en/jobs/vacancies/ap/2017bapdocproex204/ The vacancy's closing date 15 August 2017 and should be submitted online. This submission should include a copy of your CV and a cover letter and, if available, a research paper / MA thesis and a link to the candidate’s portfolio page, with code samples, on a repository such a GitHub. Feel free to reach out to us for more details. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2017 16:28:23 +0200 From: Silke Schwandt Subject: Job offer at Bielefeld University Dear colleagues, I would be very happy, if you could publish the following job offer via the Humanist Discussion Group: Job offer at Bielefeld University: http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/Universitaet/Aktuelles/Stellenausschreibungen/Anzeigen/Wiss/wiss17143.pdf We are looking for a digital historian/digital humanist to work with us in the CRC "Practices of Comparison".

The position Medical Museion is seeking two new PhD candidates to join an innovative and exciting house where research, museum work and public engagement are brought together at the intersection of medicine, culture and society. Medical Museion is a university research department as well as a public museum and we believe it makes a difference to do research within a public environment, where new ideas and understandings can be brought to light. Our exhibitions and events are often approached as a kind of laboratory for research, and we are keen to push the boundaries of what research might be, and what it can lead to. We are fundamentally concerned with the place of medicine within social and cultural contexts and welcome different perspectives on our relationship to the body, health and the existential sides of our physical being; as well as the materiality, history, philosophy, aesthetics, and epistemic workings of medical science. We hold some of the finest and most fascinating medical/historical collections in Europe, and are keen to know much more about them, as well as how they can be inspiringly used in a museum environment. We are also interested in practice-based research that touches on curatorial practice, visitor experience, and exhibition design. Our fields of study are thus inevitably broad; an ecology where interdisciplinary investigations can thrive. The disciplines and methods that we find relevant could be gathered under the umbrella term Critical Medical Humanities, including History of Medicine and Science, Science and Technology Studies, Philosophy of Medicine, Medical Humanities, Material Culture Studies, Museology, and Science Communication. Qualifications - A Masters Degree in a relevant field is required - Documented experience with museum work or public engagement is desirable - Demonstrable interest in medical sciences is desirable - You must be enterprising and possess good interpersonal skills It is a prerequisite that the candidate can be and is not already enrolled as a PhD student at the faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. Employment conditions Salary and other terms and conditions of appointment are set in accordance with the Agreement between the Ministry of Finance and AC (Danish Confederation of Professional Associations) or other relevant professional organizations. In addition to the seniority-based salary, the appointee will receive an annual supplement of currently DKK 15,532.44 DKK and additional bonuses may be negotiated on an individual basis. The PhD fellow is obliged to carry out – without additional pay – allocated teaching or museum-related tasks of up to 840 working hours during their period of employment. Application Please submit your application via the link on the job webpage (http://jobportal.ku.dk/phd/?show=145313) no later than 29 September 2017. The application should include: - Cover letter - Project description including how the museum, its activities or its collections might play a role in your research (max 4 pages) - Curriculum Vitae with publication list (max 2 pages) Degree certificates should be supplied if candidates are offered an interview. For queries about the positions please contact Associate Professor Karin Tybjerg (karin.tybjerg@sund.ku.uk, mobile +45 5363 7951). After the expiry of the deadline for applications, the authorized recruitment manager selects applicants for assessment on the advice of the Appointments Committee. All applicants are then immediately notified whether their application has been passed for assessment by an expert assessment committee. Selected applicants are notified of the composition of the committee and each applicant has the opportunity to comment on the part of the assessment that relates to the applicant him/herself. The assessment committee will then select candidates for interviews scheduled for early November. You can read more about the recruitment process at http://employment.ku.dk.

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

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 13:54:10 +0100 From: Fintan Nagle Subject: Second Call for Papers (submission date: 1 Sep): RoPP special issue on Computationalism and Philosophy of Information CALL FOR PAPERS: Computationalism Meets the Philosophy of Information Review of Philosophy and Psychology invites submissions for a special issue titled ‘Computationalism Meets the Philosophy of Information’. The view that the human mind is a kind of computational machine began to make waves with the advent of the first computers in the middle of the last century. McCulloch and Pitts suggested early on that the mind may be something like a Turing machine. This view came to be known as ‘classical computationalism’. It was quickly met with an onslaught of objections, and in reaction a number of liberalisations ensued. One view that has recently been gaining ground attempts to articulate the notion of computation in terms of information and information-processing. Interest in these two areas, i.e. computationalism and the philosophy of information, is on the ascendancy. This special issue is devoted to the intersection between them, especially to papers that engage in a meaningful way with recent work in cognitive science. Accepted papers will complement invited contributions from: - Rosa Cao (NYU) - Nir Fresco (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) - Michael Rescorla (UCLA) - Mark Sprevak (Edinburgh) Suitable papers may address such questions as: - What species of information are there, and which, if any, are processed by the mind? - Is there any evidence from neuroscience to support e.g. the claim that the brain operates with Shannon-information? - What is computation and how is it related to information processing? - Do certain theories of information privilege classical vs connectionist computationalism? - Can computation and/or information illuminate representational content? - Do measures of information flow capture learning? - How are human and deep learning analogous? - Can Bayesian models provide an adequate account of our cognitive capacities? Answers to these and related questions promise to extend our understanding of computation, information, the human mind, and its neural underpinning. *Submissions and refereeing* Submissions, no more than 8,000 words in length, are to be made through the online editorial manager https://www.editorialmanager.com/ropp/default.aspx, by *September 1, 2017*. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by no less than two referees. *Guest Editors* Brian Ball (Philosophy, NCH and Oxford), Fintan Nagle (Psychology, NCH and UCL), and Ioannis Votsis (Philosophy, NCH and LSE). Enquiries can be made to the Guest Editors at firstname.lastname@nchlondon.ac.uk.

Invoking editorship as a conceptual model and an area of inquiry, this symposium will support critical conversations about method, affiliation, and the historical arcs of diverse communities as they are developed and addressed through a range of periodical forms. An emphasis on multi-ethnic perspectives responds to important recent work on immigrant, Latin@, and African American print cultures that intersect in their attention to periodicals. Beginning with theories of archival attention, such as Eric Gardner’s “unexpected places,” Rodrigo Lazo’s “migrant archives,” and Kirsten Silva-Gruesz’s “ambassadorship,” invited panelists will participate in larger discussions structured around what Sianne Ngai has defined as “vernacular aesthetics,” those that, like the rhythms of editorship, “operate across much longer spans of time and across much larger swaths of culture” (Aesthetic Categories, 16). We anticipate that a focus on vernacular aesthetics and cultural producers beyond the author will generate alternative theories of editorial practice and historical forms. We seek proposals for nineteenth-century newspaper and periodical-based digitization projects to be displayed at the American Antiquarian Society’s Spring Symposium 2018. In the digital poster session, we aim to support scholars from early stages of their careers or lower-resourced institutions. Participants will have the opportunity to select small runs of or selections from important serials in the AAS collections to digitize. Scholars will exhibit these materials at a digital poster session, exploring the promises and challenges of digitizing serial texts into appropriate electronic forms. This session will enable participants to share work around these questions with one another, thus encouraging direct, concrete cross-pollination of expertise and scholarly experience. To be considered, please submit a short proposal (300-500 words) identifying a serial publication from the American Antiquarian Society collection for digitization. The scope of the digitized materials may be chosen in concert with symposium organizers and AAS staff. Any serial publication held by the American Antiquarian Society is eligible. The presence of your publication in another digital database will not exclude it from consideration. All materials digitized by AAS will be available in their digital asset management system GIGI (http://gigi.mwa.org/), and available for use as stipulated on their website under “Freely Available Images Online”: http://www.americanantiquarian.org/reproductions.htm. Proposals should include: 1. The title, print run (or selection) and a permanent link to the serial from the AAS Catalog. 2. A brief summary of the publication’s relevance to our focus on multiethnic editorship and collaboration. Proposals might address questions like: How are processes of collaboration illustrated or dramatized in this example? How does this publication focus on external or internal communities, and how does the paper, and its editors, understand the exchanges between such communities? What historical or archival contexts/difficulties/conditions structure your example? 3. A brief description of the purpose of this publication in this context. Why this publication? Why now? What makes this a productive example for a range of users from introductory students to archivists and scholars? Follow this link to access the AAS digital catalogue: http://catalog.mwa.org [...] Submissions should be received by Monday, Oct 2. Selected participants will be notified via email by the end of October. Final acceptance will be conditional on membership in the Research Society for American Periodicals. -- Molly O'Hagan Hardy, PhD Director for Digital and Book History Initiatives American Antiquarian Society 185 Salisbury Street Worcester, MA 01609-1634 (508) 471-2134 AAS website/online catalog: http://www.americanantiquarian.org --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2017 01:51:37 +0000 From: AI-ECON RESEARCH CENTER Subject: DADH 2017 submission extended to July 31, 2017 8th International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities Submission Deadline Extended to: July 31, 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You are cordially invited to participate in The 8th International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities Conference Theme: Digital Humanities Evolving: Past, Present, and Future Venue: National Chengchi University, Taipei Dates: November 29 – December 1, 2017 URL: http://www.aiecon.org/conference/DADH2017/index.htm While the debates over the definition, landscape, and scale of digital humanities continue, digital humanists seem to have a consensus that digital humanities are constantly evolving and facing new challenges. 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.

See https://www.lrb.co.uk/ for the entire article. What caught my eye in particular was the following, in reference to the conditions established by this ecology, under which > public credibility depends on boundless sincerity and obsessive > consistency, as well as a disregard for the way one is seen by > others. It caused me to wonder whether the two qualities named distantly reflect the conditions of digital representation, as I see them: absolutely consistency and complete explictness, or as von Neumann said, the "all-or-nothing logic" of the digital machine.

Call for workshop papers: Computational Archival Science: digital records in the age of big data. The workshop will be held on Wednesday 13 December 2017 in Boston, MA, USA, in conjunction with the 2017 IEEE International Conference on Big Data (IEEE BigData 2017). Call for Papers: http://dcicblog.umd.edu/cas/ieee_big_data_2017_cas-workshop/ ******** Submission Deadline: October 10, 2017 ******** The large-scale digitization of analog archives, the emerging diverse forms of digital records and systems, and new ways of engaging with archival material using technology, are resulting in disruptions to traditional archival theories and practices. Increasing quantities of ‘big archival data’ present challenges for the practitioners and researchers who work with archival material, but also offer enhanced possibilities for use and scholarly exploration through the application of computational methods and tools. This workshop will explore this conjunction of emerging methods and technologies around digital records and big data with archival theory and practice, and will examine new forms of records generation and historical, social, scientific, and cultural research engagement with archival institutions. We aim to identify and evaluate current trends, requirements, and potential in these areas, to examine the new questions that they can provoke, and to help determine possible research agendas for the evolution of computational archival science in the coming years, as well as addressing the questions and concerns scholarship is raising about the interpretation of ‘big data’ and the uses to which it is put. Full papers, of up to 10 pages, should be submitted via the online submission system at https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2017/bigdata17/scripts/ws_submit.php. We also encourage submission of short papers (up to 6 pages) reporting work in progress. The submission deadline is October 10, 2017. All papers accepted will be included in the proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. The workshop builds on a number of recent developments in Computational Archival Science (see: http://dcicblog.umd.edu/cas/), and in particular on the 1st Computational Archival Science workshop at IEEE Big Data 2016 (see: http://dcicblog.umd.edu/cas/ieee_big_data_2016_cas-workshop/), which attracted a range of professionals and researchers, both from the DC area and internationally.

If you work in this area please consider submitting an application. Also, if you know of someone whose work would be a good match for the project and who could benefit from participating please feel free to share this CFP. Sincerely, Markus Wust Digital Research and Scholarship Librarian North Carolina State University Libraries Raleigh, NC, USA ORCID: 0000-0001-5958-2058 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CALL FOR PROPOSALS Grant: Visualizing Digital Scholarship in Libraries and Learning Spaces Award amount: $40,000 Funder: Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Lead institution: North Carolina State University Libraries Due date: 13 August 2017 Notification date: 15 September 2017 Website: https://immersivescholar.org Contact: immersivescholar@ncsu.edu PROJECT DESCRIPTION NC State University, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, invites proposals from institutions interested in participating in a new project for Visualizing Digital Scholarship in Libraries and Learning Spaces. The grant aims to 1) build a community of practice of scholars and librarians who work in large-scale multimedia to help visually immersive scholarly work enter the research lifecycle; and 2) overcome technical and resource barriers that limit the number of scholars and libraries who may produce digital scholarship for visualization environments and the impact of generated knowledge. Libraries and museums have made significant strides in pioneering the use of large-scale visualization technologies for research and learning. However, the utilization, scale, and impact of visualization environments and the scholarship created within them have not reached their fullest potential. A logical next step in the provision of technology-rich, visual academic spaces is to develop best practices and collaborative frameworks that can benefit individual institutions by building economies of scale among collaborators. The project contains four major elements: 1. An initial meeting and priority setting workshop that brings together librarians, scholars, and technologists working in large-scale, library and museum-based visualization environments. 2. Scholars-in-residence at NC State over a multi-year period who pursue open source creative projects, working in collaboration with our librarians and faculty, with the potential to address the articulated limitations. 3. Funding for modest, competitive block grants to other institutions working on similar challenges for creating, disseminating, validating, and preserving digital scholarship created in and for large-scale visual environments. 4. A culminating symposium that brings together representatives from the scholars-in-residence and block grant recipient institutions to share and assess results, organize ways of preserving and disseminating digital products produced, and build on the methods, templates, and tools developed for future projects. WORK SUMMARY This call solicits proposals for block grants from library or museum systems that have visualization installations. Block grant recipients can utilize funds for ideas ranging from creating open source scholarly content for visualization environments to developing tools and templates to enhance sharing of visualization work. An advisory panel will select four institutions to receive awards of up to $40,000. Block grant recipients will also participate in the initial priority setting workshop and the culminating symposium. Participating in a block grant proposal does not disqualify an individual from later applying for one of the grant-supported scholar-in-residence appointments. Applicants will provide a statement of work that describes the contributions that their organization will make toward the goals of the grant. Applicants will also provide a budget and budget justification. Activities that can be funded through block grants include, but are not limited to: - Commissioning work by a visualization expert - Hosting a visiting scholar, artist, or technologist residency - Software development or adaptation - Development of templates and methodologies for sharing and scaling content utilizing open source software - Student or staff labor for content or software development or adaptation - Curricula and reusable learning objects for digital scholarship and visualization courses - Travel (if necessary) to the initial project meeting and culminating workshop - User research on universal design for visualization spaces Funding for operational expenditures, such as equipment, is not allowed for any grant participant. APPLICATION Send an application to immersivescholar@ncsu.edu by the end of the day on 13 August 2017 that includes the following: - Statement of work (no more than 1000 words) of the project idea your organization plans to develop, its relationship to the overall goals of the grant, and the challenges to be addressed. - List the names and contact information for each of the participants in the funded project, including a brief description of their current role, background, expertise, interests, and what they can contribute. - Project timeline. - Budget table with projected expenditures. - Budget narrative detailing the proposed expenditures SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION PROCESS An advisory panel made up of scholars, librarians, and technologists with experience and expertise in large-scale visualization and/or visual scholarship will review and rank proposals. The project leaders are especially keen to receive proposals that develop best practices and collaborative frameworks that can benefit individual institutions by building a community of practice and economies of scale among collaborators. Awardees will be selected based on: - the ability of their proposal to successfully address one or both of the identified problems; - the creativity of the proposed activities; - relevant demonstrated experience partnering with scholars or students on visualization projects; - whether the proposal is extensible; - feasibility of the work within the proposed time-frame and budget; - whether the project work improves or expands access to large-scale visual environments for users; and - the participant’s ability to expand content development and sharing among the network of institutions with large-scale visual environments. Awardees will be required to send a representative to an initial meeting of the project cohort in Fall 2017. Awardees will be notified by 15 September 2017. If you have any questions, please contact immersivescholar@ncsu.edu. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 8DD326A9B; Sat, 15 Jul 2017 07:17:38 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B2F186A93; Sat, 15 Jul 2017 07:17:35 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 79A2E6A87; Sat, 15 Jul 2017 07:17:29 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170715051729.79A2E6A87@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2017 07:17:29 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.179 events: archives 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: <20170715051737.5430.92118@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 179.

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.o rg/conference/DADH2017/submission.htm 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.

An ad just came out for a 3 year pre- (maybe post- too) doctoral position in Weimar on the media history of the life sciences. It seems to have a digital humanities component, too, so possibly good for folks interested in developing a database. It’s with Henning Schmidgen, who is sort of like the media studies version of Hans-Jörg Rheinberger (he also wrote a book on Latour that’s good). Looks like a great job, and probably can be combined with US doctoral study to get a double PhD, like I did. Perhaps you have a student who’d be interested! https://www.uni-weimar.de/de/universitaet/aktuell/stellenausschreibungen/mwp-0817/ b --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2017 10:52:52 -0400 From: Zach Coble Subject: NYCDH Graduate Student Project Award In-Reply-To: <83FB78A3-77BC-44DC-BB84-CA887BC24D7E@gmail.com> We pleased to announce our fourth annual cross-institutional NYCDH Digital Humanities Graduate Student Project Award http://nycdh.org/nyc-dh-graduate-student-project-award/ .

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2017 13:28:53 -0400 From: Amanda Licastro Subject: Composition as Big Data: Abstracts due 8/1 Colleagues, This is a friendly reminder that proposals for the edited collection *Composition as Big Data* are due August 1st. The full CFP is below. Call for Proposals: 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.

We hope that members of Humanist will act as "veteran" leaders for some of the dinners. Is this your first or second time at the Digital Humanities conference? Are you new to the DH community? Join a small group of newbies and DH old-timers at a local restaurant and make scholarly connections and new friendships. It's NOT just for members of the ACH! The dinners will happen the evening of Wednesday, 9 August 2017, with parties departing after the poster session. For ease of conversation, groups will be limited to six people. Registration is already open and places are limited! Sign up at http://bit.ly/ACHdinner17. On the sign-up form, we ask you to identify yourself with 'n' for newbie (in your first or second year attending DH) or 'v' for DH conference veteran (no more than 2 veterans per party, please!). We will also need one veteran leader for each group, to make a reservation and walk the group over to the restaurant; long-term ACH members and other DH conference veterans are heartily encouraged to volunteer! We look forward to meeting you in Montreal! * ***Please note: attendees pay for their own costs. The ACH provides the organization and good cheer.**** _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 110) id 861036AAE; Wed, 19 Jul 2017 07:01:34 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 97DE41D5C; Wed, 19 Jul 2017 07:01:32 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1A4D36AAC; Wed, 19 Jul 2017 07:01:27 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170719050128.1A4D36AAC@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 07:01:27 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.185 the Colonial Frontier Massacres in Eastern Australia project 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: <20170719050134.27736.60685@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 185. Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2017 06:43:22 +0000 From: Bill Pascoe Subject: Colonial Frontier Massacres in Eastern Australia 1788-1872 Hi, I would just like to draw the DH community's attention to a project recently launched by the Centre For 21st Century Humanities: Colonial Frontier Massacres in Eastern Australia 1788-1872 https://c21ch.newcastle.edu.au/colonialmassacres/ http://hdl.handle.net/1959.13/1326860 This was essentially a web mapping project, enabling users to view change over time, to click points for more data about specific locations and to provide evidence and source material about massacres on the Australian colonial frontier. There were a few things that stood out as a consequence of it being a *digital* humanities project: - Displaying the data on a web map, with interactive timeline makes the 'story' or 'information' immediately clear to any observer in a way that is not possible in plain text or even static images. - Huge exposure on an issue of great public interest, important to the 'soul' of the nation. On the 3rd day after the launch, with news items in national and international media, our marketing people said that, according to their metrics, it had an 'audience reach' of around 28 million people. One Facebook post of a news item I looked at had 20,000 responses, and long threads of debate. While this response is due to the subject matter, it also would not have occurred if not for the instant information, visual impact and interactivity afforded by mapping technology applied to humanities. - Enhanced academic discipline. Researchers noted that the need to collect information for each field across all the sites, although arduous and at times frustrating, added to the academic discipline. So long as it is not to the detriment of complexity and unique cases, the ability to compare and summate across incidents was useful and informative. The process itself brought to light information that may not have otherwise been learned. - Community engagement. While we were expecting some input and contributions from the public we were not expecting a response of this scale. Information has come to light through public interaction that researchers were unaware of and which needs to be followed up. We suddenly found ourselves urgently needing to handle a crowd sourcing project. - One of the key contrasts between traditional scholarship and digital scholarship is that we do not necessarily conclude with the publishing of definitive findings. The launch is the beginning. Published data is readily modified as more information comes to light and we approach the truth about this history, affording more transparency in the process. This is particularly important for this project where findings are hotly debated, who gets to determine 'truth' is called into question, and where information has purposefully been obscured over hundreds of years. For me personally, although my involvement was the 'tech person', rather than research historian, one of the most interesting things about this project was the ethical issues raised through the use of this technology, touched on here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318461484_Web_Mapping_Colonial_Frontier_Massacres It makes me mindful that although there has been a long tradition in the West of 'not letting our emotions cloud our judgement', we need equally be wary of logos clouding pathos. The quote on the Humanist discussion lists' home page also seems relevant. In some applications of digital humanities we can witness this played out on screen, not just understand it as a concept. The next phase of this project, to improve handling of crowd sourcing, will involve developing a web interface and database to facilitate this: «[T]ruth is not born nor is it to be found inside the head of an individual person, it is born between people collectively searching for the truth, in the process of their dialogic interaction.... » Mikhail Bakhtin, Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics, trans.

The challenge in such modules is to introduce students with a background in humanities or social sciences to technical content without going into detail. NLP tools often require special input formats, knowledge of program options, and post-processing of the output. NLP resources are often not easily accessible and provide only limited interaction. Interfaces and search tools require knowledge of specialized search syntax. The workshop is intended to provide a forum for such “NLP teachers” to share experiences, discuss best practices, introduce teaching concepts, and present demos of existing technology. It also provides an opportunity for DH researchers to express their needs and provide directions for future DH curricular developments. The workshop is intended to foster collaborations and to cross-fertilize knowledge and approaches across DH disciplines. Teach4DH is co-organized by GSCL's SIG Education and Profession and supported by CLARIN. WORKSHOP TOPICS ======================= We welcome submissions of long and short papers, posters, and demonstrations relating to any aspect of teaching NLP in DH classes, including: - Didactic units / concepts / tools for employing NLP in teaching "on stage" - Challenges in teaching for a non-CL audience - Exploiting NLP tools "behind the scenes" for creating didactic DH material - Curricular considerations in developing standards for DH programs See the website at https://teach4dh.github.io for more details, including submission instructions. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the workshop co-chairs at teach4dh@googlegroups.com. IMPORTANT DATES ===================== All submission deadlines are at 11:59 p.m. PST *** Jul 23rd, 2017 Extended deadline *** Aug 09th, 2017: Notification of acceptance Aug 25th, 2017: Camera-ready papers due Sep 12th, 2017: Workshop day COMMITTEES ===================== WORKSHOP CHAIRS Peggy Bockwinkel University of Stuttgart Thierry Declerck DFKI, Saarbrücken Sandra Kübler Indiana University, Bloomington Heike Zinsmeister Universität Hamburg PROGRAM COMMITTEE Melanie Andresen Universität Hamburg Fabian Barteld Universität Hamburg Sabine Bartsch Technische Universität Darmstadt Noah Bubenhofer Zurich University Stefanie Dipper Ruhr-Universität Bochum Kim Gerdes Sorbonne nouvelle Paris Evelyn Gius Universität Hamburg Fotis Jannidis Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg Jonas Kuhn University of Stuttgart Lothar Lemnitzer BBAW, Berlin Harald Lüngen IDS, Mannheim Nils Reiter University of Stuttgart Thomas Schmidt IDS, Mannheim Ulrike Schneider Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität Mainz Julian Schulz LMU, München Olga Scrivner Indiana University Caroline Sporleder Georg-August-Universität Göttingen Jannik Strötgen MPI, Saarbrücken Thorsten Trippel University of Tübingen Gabriel Viehhauser University of Stuttgart Andreas Witt University of Cologne Amir Zeldes Georgetown University Contact address: teach4dh@googlegroups.com Universität Stuttgart Institut für Literaturwissenschaft Digital Humanities Herdweg 51 70174 Stuttgart peggy.bockwinkel@ilw.uni-stuttgart.de Tel.: +49 (0)711-685-82279 _______________________________________________ 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 CEA796ABD; Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:17:19 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 618346AB7; Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:17:18 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id F2BCE1C89; Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:17:14 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20170719101714.F2BCE1C89@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 12:17:14 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.187 'computational'?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 09:28:31 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the computational model of mind The Oxford English Dictionary lists three main senses for 'computation' -- updated, please note, as of 2008: 1. The action or process of computing, reckoning, or counting; arithmetical or mathematical calculation; an instance of this. 2. In wider sense: estimation, reckoning; consideration. [marked as obsolete] 3. The use of (electronic) computers, esp. as a field of study or research; computer science. Some might say that the editors of the OED have paid insufficient attention to cognitive science, including philosophers (such as Dan Dennett) who move in its circles. But it seems to me that the editors have been wise to set down active senses which hug the mathematical and refer to computing machinery -- and, with some bravery, that they have marked as obsolete the sense which the now widely assumed computational model of mind would bring back into currency. One must be careful here not to shun mathematics, which is as much an expression of human creativity and imaginative thought as any of the humanities. (See, if you think otherwise, Ian Hacking's unsurprisingly magisterial Why is There a Philosophy of Mathematics At All?, CUP 2014.) What I think deserves our sharp critical attention is, rather, the largely silent assumption that 'computational' simply describes what happens in the head, or in the mind-body, if you prefer. I wish to be confrontational about this assumption -- without for one moment spurning the fascinating work going on in cognitive science. I want 'as if' to be inscribed in large, bold letters above that house so that everyone knows it's seriously playful toys that are being made there, not, at long last, reality being glimpsed just around the next corner (or perhaps the one after that, or the one after that...). And here's a test. Read John Tooby's and Leda Cosmides' Foreword to Simon Baron-Cohen's Mindblind: An Essay on Autism and Theory of Mind (1995), then do a self-assessment of your cognitive equilibrium. For the convenience of those here who are curious, I reproduce as an attachment (below) a paragraph from this Foreword. What struck me about this paragraph when I first read it, and what strikes me still, is how close it comes to something I might write if I had their command of their field. How vividly it thus brings out, at least for me, the differences -- what I would not write. The crucial word is 'computational'. Or have I got the matter badly wrong?

In-Reply-To: <20170719101714.F2BCE1C89@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, Just to check if I did not get matters all wrong. Are you saying that it is all too easy to forget that all that we produce are meta forms: hypotheses on how things might work? Maps, not territories. If so, I think you are quite right that we should always remember that we scientists are obsessed with creating naturalistic maps, not impressionistic or expressionistic ones. But still maps. I do not know Tooby's, Cosmides', or Baron-Cohen's work, but the paragraph is indeed suggestive of at least the first two mistaking the computational model for the reality of mind-body. I found the concept of 'natural information-processing problems' similarly inspiring. How exactly did they mean 'natural' there? With that we are awfully close to 'do numbers exist, or are they mere models?'

Rouse, "The Development of Research Tools in the Thirteenth Century", in Authentic Witnesses: Approaches to Medieval Texts and Manuscripts (Notre Dame 1991): > The entirety of these thirteenth-century scholarly tools comprises > the foundation of all later attempts to provide access to the written > heritage. Historians of printing and psychologists of communication > generally attribute the appearance of indexes and the introduction > of alphabetical arrangement to the invention of the printing press. > The press, by producing 500 or more uniform copies of a single text, > enabled one to join a uniform apparatus to the text. Thus, Walter Ong > said in 1977, "Once a fixed order is established in print, it can be > multiplied with little effort almost without limit. This makes it > more worthwhile to do the arduous work of elaborating serviceable > arrangements and -- what is all-important -- of devising complex, > visually serviceable indexes. A hundred dictated handwritten copies > of a work would normally require a hundred indexes, . . . whereas > five thousand or more printed copies of an edition of a given work > would all be served by one and the same index." The logic of this > argument is sound; literate society certainly complicated things by > inventing the subject index over two hundred years before inventing > the press. The fact remains that indexes and other finding tools were > invented because there was need for them -- not because it was easy, > or practical, to make them at a certain time. In devising these > tools, medieval man pushed the manuscript book to the very limits of > precision; and in the final analysis the uniformity and much greater > precision of the printed book were essential before the reference > tool could advance further. It is certainly true, as well, that many > works were alphabetically indexed for the first time upon first > printing: Both the methods and the motives, however, were inherited > from the Middle Ages. The chapter summaries and subject indexes to > the works of Saint Augustine in the early modern Maurist edition > (reprinted in Migne's Patrologia) are those devised in the thirteenth > century by Robert Kilwardby, because the Benedictines of Saint Maur > considered them the best available.

Benzon" Subject: Re: 31.187 'computational'? In-Reply-To: <20170719101714.F2BCE1C89@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Willard, What’s at stake here? I find the idea of computation generally useful, but the question of whether or not the mind is a computer strikes me as sterile and all-but meaningless. I realize that the question has been subject to vigorous debate for several decades, and I do look at those debates every now and then. But I don’t find them particularly compelling. They don’t seem to advance my understanding of the problems that particularly interest me. [snip] > ....

Is it that you think that, in general, all human knowledge is ‘as if’ or do you think that in some arenas reality is actually "being glimpsed just around the next corner”, but no, not this one. NOT this one! > And here's a test.

How vividly it thus brings out, at least > for me, the differences -- what I would not write. The crucial word is > 'computational'. Here’s the last sentence in the paragraph, the only one with “computational” in it: “These and a host of other factors alerted psychologists to the necessity for- and to the actuality of-a vast nonconscious realm of evolved, specialized, computational problem solvers that construct and interpret the world.” When I read that I don’t give any particular attention to “computational”. For better or worse, it’s a way of speaking. Moreover, as I remember the book – it’s been years since I read it – it’s arguments are not computational in any interesting sense. There’s a lot of interesting empirical evidence, about behavior, about the brain, and there’s talk about modules – which is, I suppose, authorized by the idea of computation. That’s pretty much it as I recall. But I also felt that Baron-Cohen had presented enough interesting evidence that a reader could use it in different arguments (I rather dislike the idea of Theory of Mind). If you’re inclined to strike “computational” from that sentence, what would you put in its place? Let me offer you another passage. This is from Ulric Neisser, Cognition and Reality (W H Freeman, 1976): "... the activities of the computer itself seemed in some ways akin to cognitive processes. Computers accept information, manipulate symbols, store items in “memory” and retrieve them again, classify inputs, recognize patterns, and so on. Whether they do these things just like people was less important than that they do them at all. The coming of the computer provided a much-needed reassurance that cognitive processes were real; that they could be studied and perhaps understood” (pp. 5-6). That seemed about right to me back then, 40 years ago, and it still does.

All-or-nothing threshold effects are wide-spread in the world and predate modern digital technology.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2017 06:58:18 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the language we use Thanks to Bill Benzon for taking up my provocations concerning use of the word 'computational' and the consequences of deeply buried digital logic. My objection to 'computational' is not about the truth or falsity of propositions, such as 'the brain is a digital computer' or even 'the brain is a digital-analogue device'. I object, rather, to the inattentiveness which allows statements such as those of Cosmides and Tooby to make it ever easier not to see the differences, ever easier to accept the particular myth of progress which has us believing that these differences will in time not be worth talking about. The myth of some world-altering singularity, a.k.a. apocalypse. In other words, I am arguing that the words we use matter. Indeed I agree that Ulrich Neisser's subtler language does indeed have the matter "about right" -- though I'd underscore the 'about' and demand that it not be taken as synonymous with 'just' -- but still think that Cosmides' and Tooby's does not. Except in quite special circumstances we do not speak in propositional sentences, and unless we become dogmatic to the core we certainly do not think we think in them except provisionally, to see how close they come. I'd rewrite their sentence with 'computational' in it thus: > These and a host of other factors alerted psychologists to the > necessity for -- and to the actuality of -- a vast nonconscious realm of > evolved, specialized processes of thought that construct and > interpret the world. Currently we think of these as 'computational', > using the digital machine to model them as best we can. (Still some of these words are for me uncomfortably laden.) Please note I said nothing directly or wished to imply anything about Baron-Cohen's text nor wish to denegrate Cosmides' and Tooby's work in the cognitive sciences. I'm not qualified to do that. Again, I'd hang a sign over that house which reads, 'as if'. Similarly, about the effects of deeply buried digital logic, Bill's word 'responsible' (as in causitive?) I think is far too strong. I'm not wanting to suggest uni-directional causation. I've not yet figured out how to talk about the relationship between co-occurrent historical phenomena that somehow have something to do with each other. I try to avoid using the term 'Zeitgeist'. And I certainly don't want to be understood as arguing that all-or-nothing logic is new. Thninking like that is surely as old as life. Rather I am suggesting that the binary logic of our machines nudges us in certain directions, reinforces something else that's doing it, co-manifesting a tendency of our time. You see I really haven't figured out how to say this. Help, anyone?

It’s not something I’d have said. As for the Neisser: > In other words, I am arguing that the words we use matter. Indeed I agree that Ulrich Neisser's subtler language does indeed have the matter "about right" -- though I'd underscore the 'about' and demand that it not be taken as synonymous with 'just' -- but still think that Cosmides' and Tooby's does not. Except in quite special circumstances we do not speak in propositional sentences, and unless we become dogmatic to the core we certainly do not think we think in them except provisionally, to see how close they come. I’m glad you find it better. From my POV, it’s pretty neutral, but you still seem to have problems with it. It’s almost as though you want to allow cognitive science, but want to bracket out the idea that computing has anything to do with it. Now, the fact is, I do have problems with the Neisser, so let me first repeat the passage: > ... the activities of the computer itself seemed in some ways akin to cognitive processes. Computers accept information, manipulate symbols, store items in “memory” and retrieve them again, classify inputs, recognize patterns, and so on. Whether they do these things just like people was less important than that they do them at all. The coming of the computer provided a much-needed reassurance that cognitive processes were real; that they could be studied and perhaps understood. It’s the bit about storing and retrieving that I find a bit problematic, though note that Neisser did place “memory” in scare quotes. I’ll let Sydney Lamb voice my objections. As you may know, Lamb was at Berkeley back in the 50s and was among the first generations of researchers on machine translation. In 1999 he published Pathways of the Brain: The Neurocognitive Basis of Language (Amsterdam & Philadelphia: John Benjamins), which stands as his main statement of his views on language. On page 3 of his introduction he says this: > Some years ago I asked one of my daughters, as she sat at the piano, "When you hit that piano key with your finger, how does your mind tell your finger what to do?" She thought for a moment, her face brightening with the intellectual challenge, and said, "Well, my brain writes a little note and sends it down my arm to my hand, then my hand reads the note and knows what to do." Not too bad for a five-year old. He then goes on to suggest that an awful lot of professional thinking about the brain takes place in such terms (p. 2): > This mode of theorizing is seen in ... statements about such things as lexical semantic retrieval, and in descriptions of mental processes like that of naming what is in a picture, to the effect that the visual information is transmitted from the visual area to a language area where it gets transformed into a phonological representation so that a spoken description of the picture may be produced....It is the theory of the five-year-old expressed in only slightly more sophisticated terms. This mode of talking about operations in the brain is obscuring just those operations we are most intent in understanding, the fundamental processes of the mind. So here we’ve got those italicized words and phrases: “lexical semantic retrieval”, "information is transmitted”, “transformed”, and “phonological representation ”. Neisser talks like that; a lot of cognitivists do. I think Lamb’s objections are well-taken, but the alternative he proposes is not easily conveyed. I’m not even sure you can grasp it simply by reading his book and looking at the many diagrams. I think you have to actively work with these or similar ideas before you really understand what’s going on. And that takes us some distance from general audience discussions of computation and the mind and, for that matter, it likely takes us away from many/most professional philosophical discussions as well. Here’s another, somewhat different passage. This is by Peter Gärdenfors (Conceptual Spaces 2000, p. 253): > On the symbolic level, searching, matching, of symbol strings, and rule following are central. On the subconceptual level, pattern recognition, pattern transformation, and dynamic adaptation of values are some examples of typical computational processes. And on the intermediate conceptual level, vector calculations, coordinate transformations, as well as other geometrical operations are in focus. Of course, one type of calculation can be simulated by one of the others (for example, by symbolic methods on a Turing machine). A point that is often forgotten, however, is that the simulations will, in general be computationally more complex than the process that is simulated. If you read it closely, and compare it with Lamb, you’ll see that there is some inconsistence between the two (Lamb wouldn’t talk of searching and matching). I can live with that. What I like is that Gärdenfors talks of three “levels” – symbolic, conceptual, subconceptual – with different kinds of processing for each. I’m not committed to those three levels but, yes, different kinds of things are going on. Gärdenfors’ last sentence is the most interesting one. I don’t see how you can come to appreciate what Lamb or Gärdenfors are up to if you’re always putting “as-if” in front of “computing”. Over to all-or-nothing: [snip] > Similarly, about the effects of deeply buried digital logic, Bill's word 'responsible' (as in causitive?) I think is far too strong. I'm not wanting to suggest uni-directional causation. I've not yet figured out how to talk about the relationship between co-occurrent historical phenomena that somehow have something to do with each other. It seems to me, Willard, that perhaps you’re jumping the gun here by simply assuming a “deeply buried digital logic” when that logic might not be there. Maybe it’s just coincidence. I think we need to look at these things case by case. Let me offer a different case. A few years ago Tara McPherson published an argument about race and the UNIX operating system during the 1960s [1]. Invoking the idea of modularity she argued for a deep connection between the two, but denied that it was causal in either direction or in both directions. She talked of race as some kind of "operating system.” But, more generally, she talked of resonance. But all she’s actually got is a resemblance she established through her arguments. I think the argument is ingenious, even brilliant, but also empty. As I remarked at the end of a long blog post [2]: > McPherson’s argument reads best as a critical analysis of a sprawling Pynchonesque novel. In that case everything in the novel is the product of the author’s mind, though not necessarily the result of conscious deliberation. Why, in this particular novel, do certain computational processes and certain social processes resemble one another? Because that’s what the author wrote. The fact that these two things resemble one another in the novel is thus “insulated” from, at a distance from, the dynamics of the real world. You say: > And I certainly don't want to be understood as arguing that all-or-nothing logic is new. Thinking like that is surely as old as life. Rather I am suggesting that the binary logic of our machines nudges us in certain directions, reinforces something else that's doing it, co-manifesting a tendency of our time. But what reason do you have to think that other than the wide-spread existence of all-or-nothing phenomena?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 23 Jul 2017 09:06:39 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: 'computational' &c This in response to Bill Benzon's latest. My point about 'computational' is its metaphorical force that, I'd argue, is still there after the metaphor is naturalised and forgotten as such. (We get language wrong when we say that a metaphor is 'fossilised' -- it can live again whereas a fossil cannot.) I worry about the subtle effects of thinking and speaking as if 'computational' were an entirely neutral i.e. meaningless term, having no whiff of the digital machine. What does the word mean when we refer to human reasoning as 'computational'? We have been taking mathesis as kind of cognition for a long time, but to take it as the whole of mental life seems to me a dangerously reductive way to go. That's what I am objecting to. Bless Minsky for his mischievous provocation in saying that "the brain is a machine made of meat" (or something like that), but do we really want to take it as given without asking what sort of a 'machine' we're talking about? Why 'machine' and not some other term? I find Neisser's passage interesting because he says "in some ways akin". His qualification of 'memory' suggests that he's alert enough to the history of this word (see Danziger, Marking the Mind; Smith, Between Mind and Nature) to detect the very old ghost of the storehouse metaphor and know how limited an analogy it is, despite its rather amazing persistence. I hear in Neisser's passage an echo of Kelvin's repeated celebrations of his dependence on models for understanding the world. All I'm saying is, let's not forget that models are models -- and that the point is modelling. I certainly agree with Bill that Sydney Lamb's objection to much professional theorising about cognitive activity is well taken -- and that "the alternative he proposes is not easily conveyed". This is indeed a worthy problem. I think Bill gets to the core when he says, > I'm not even sure you can grasp it simply by reading his book and > looking at the many diagrams. I think you have to actively work with > these or similar ideas before you really understand what's going on. > And that takes us some distance from general audience discussions of > computation and the mind and, for that matter, it likely takes us > away from many/most professional philosophical discussions as well. I suspect that where 'actively work with' takes us is to David Gooding's idea of 'construal' in his very fine study, Experiment and the Making of Meaning: Human Agency in Scientific Observation and Experiment (Kluwer 1990), where he takes issue with "many/most professional philosophical discussions" of experiment in relation to theory. Not easily conveyed indeed, which is to say, worthy of our best attention. I suggested that our digital machines, with their "deeply buried digital logic", nudge us to think more in some ways rather than others. I'd suggest that we look to that logic on the one hand and how we talk about the world on the other for clues. My own reason for suspecting we'd find the relationship for which Aden Evens argues in Logic of the Digital is, however, historical and has to do with the 'looping effects' (as Hacking calls them in a different context) between inventor and invention. Consider the history of computing from Turing 1936 (human computer as model for his abstract machine) to McCulloch and Pitts 1943 (Turing machine as model for the brain) to von Neumann 1945 (their neurophysiological vocabulary identifying components of digital architecture) to that computational model of mind. Some, with I think good reason, would call this a co-evolutionary loop. Getting different all the time. All-or-nothing is not new, indeed. Do we think more in those terms now, rebel more against them now than we did? I mean this as a genuine question for someone with Big Data to explore.

Dear colleagues, Please find below the CFP for 'Questioning models: Intersectionality in Digital Humanities. Digital Editing, Literature and Gender Studies' to be held at the University of Cologne, on the 8th - 10th November 2017. Please circulate widely. Yours sincerely Tiziana Mancinelli ----- Questioning models: Intersectionality in Digital Humanities. Digital Editing, Literature and Gender Studies Call for Papers The Cologne Centre for eHumanities (CCeH) is organising a three-day symposium from the 8th to the 10th of November at the University of Cologne. The event aims at exploring intersectional approaches on textual scholarship and Digital Humanities theories, practices, and tools. A session will be dedicated to Italian and German women writers during the Renaissance. This specific case study is part of a project funded by NetEx (Network and Exchange funding programme, University of Cologne). We welcome proposals in any area of scholarship, that pay specific attention to intersectionality, and that employ digital and collaborative approaches to the study or the editing of marginalised subjectivities and their digital modelling and representations. We encourage the submission of projects’ presentations at an advanced stage that investigate how digital technologies can re/produce, enable or restrict the construction of identities (e.g. in racialised and gendered terms). Researchers of all levels, including students and professional practitioners, are welcome. We expect a diverse audience of textual scholars, historians, information scientists, social scientists, digital humanists, graduate students and interested members of the public. The communication language of the symposium will be English, but we are accepting proposals and papers in English, Italian and German. Type of presentations: - Short paper (20 minutes) - Lightning talk (10 minutes) - Posters To submit a paper, please email an abstract to up to 300 words as an attachment to questioningmodelsdh@gmail.com by 31st August, 2017.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2017 12:26:51 -0400 From: William L. Benzon Subject: Re: 31.200 'computational' &c In-Reply-To: <20170725062153.807546B7E@digitalhumanities.org> A response to Willard McCarty: I have just noticed one of the peculiar aspects of this conversation, the implicit assumption that computation is equivalent to DIGITAL computation. Where did that assumption come from? Why does it seem so, well, natural? When I first started reading about computers, sometime in the mid-1960s, introductory accounts for the general reader started by distinguishing between ANALOG and DIGITAL computation and went on to discuss both. The first computational device I can remember using extensively was a slide rule, which is analog, though I may have used what was then called an adding machine at one time or another. It was sometime in the 1980s, I believe, that I read an intro-to-computers article that didn’t mention analog computing. It must have been in one of those magazines directed at users and owners of personal computers. And that, perhaps, is why analog computation was dropped from discussion. Readers of the article either owned or had access to a personal computer, and that computer would have been digital, and so that’s what the article explained. In any event, analog computation seems rather distant from most, if not all, treatments of computation these days. FWIW, I’ve just done a Google Ngram search on the phrases, “analog computer,digital computer” BTW 1900 and 2000: They appear more or less together in the early 1940s and track together until the mid-1950s, at which point “digital computer” begins to outstrip “analog computer”. The continue upward until the late 1960s, at which point they both start falling, with “digital” always more prominent than “analog.” If you just search on “analog,digital” (1900-2000) you find that both terms float close to the X-axis until about 1950. At that point both terms increase in frequency through 2000 with “digital” far outstripping “analog”. The last thing von Neumann wrote is the posthumous The Computer and the Brain (1958). Its topic, I believe, is how to implement computation in a physical device and von Neumann developed it through the contrast between analog and digital. As Terrence Sejnowski put it [1]: > The all-or-none nature of the action potential had suggested > analogies with binary gates in digital computers (McCulloch and Pitts > 1943), but the analog nature of neural integration was just beginning > to be fully appreciated. Typically, the accuracy of numerical > calculation in a modern digital computer is 8 to 16 significant > figures. But in a neuron, signaling by means of the average firing > rate has at best one or two significant figures of accuracy. [...] > Von Neumann recognized that the reliance of the brain on > analog-signal processing had far-reaching significance for the style > of computation that the brain was capable of supporting. He pointed > out that the logical depth of a calculation, for example, can be very > great for a digital computer that retains high accuracy at each step > in the calculation; but for an analog system like the brain, the > compounding of errors causes severe problems after only a few steps. Sejnowki concludes his review by quoting von Neumann’s final line: > However, the above remarks about reliability and logical and > arithmetical depth prove that whatever the system is, it cannot fail > to differ considerably from what we consciously and explicitly > consider mathematics. And we are still there today, six-decades later. But if digital computation tends to dominate the discussion, analog has by no means been forgotten and has certainly influenced my thinking. Early in my career David Hays introduced me to a book by William Powers, Behavior: The Control of Perception (1973), which developed a sophisticated analog account of the mind. Somewhat later, when I was working on my book about music (Beethoven’s Anvil, 2001 [2]) I was in close communication with the late Walter Freeman [3], a neuroscientist at Berkeley. Freeman’s program consisted of 1) experimental observation, 2) mathematical analysis, and 3) computer simulation. He was interested in the use of complex dynamics to understand the brain at the level of neural nets and was skeptical of digital computation as a model for thought. Finally, I would mention the work of Carver Mead, a Cal Tech scientist and engineer who developed the concept of neuromorphic engineering [4], the development of analog circuits in VLSI chips to mimic neuro-biological systems. [I make no use of this work myself, but I mention it to make the point that analog concepts remain alive and well. Indeed, essential.] As for Willard’s question “Why 'machine' and not some other term?”, what other term do we have? Of course it’s not so much the term, but the reservoir of concepts on which we can draw to make our models. And it’s stretching the term rather extremely to think of these complex electronic devices as being of the same species as bicycles, clocks, printing presses, and automobiles. They’re very different creatures. Is that a mistake, to think of them as machines? To some extent these are questions of mere semantics. We shouldn’t let them get in the way of the substantive matters at stake, which are as deep as any before us. Yours, BB [1] Terrence Sejnowski. The Computer and the Brain Revisited.

Perhaps the following will help. > The 'act' of observing something for the first time presupposes the > activity that rendered it visible.

It is easy to > suppose that the cases we are aware of - where we seem to 'see' first > and then record what we then say we have observed - are typical of > all seeing.

This repertoire is usually adequate to the > task and its use is therefore usually tacit. The repertoire itself > remains imperceptible until we encounter (or are asked to share) an > experience which does not readily fit our available renderings. > Novelty brings the repertoire into focal awareness. David Gooding, Experiment and the Making of Meaning (Kluwer 1990): 74f In its development as an appliance, computing has become quite successfully mimetic of our daily activities, but when defamiliarised, considered in the basic strangeness of its digital logic, does it not serve us as well or better in bringing our non-digital repertoire into focal awareness? Gooding writes of "how much stage-setting is needed for observers to have similar experiences of novel phenomena"; then the stage-setting is taken for granted, we become involved in the world unfolding in the play. I would have both the seamless affordances to my reading and writing, and the instrument for probing the difference between all-or-nothing and the continuum in between. Is the forward-moving, constantly changing but spinoff-producing digital medium just what the doctor ordered? Comments?

In 2013, the CCP built a website called Constitute  (www.constituteproject.org) to facilitate the comparative study of national constitutions. The site provides the text of all of the world’s national constitutions, tagged by topic, to allow users to systematically search and compare constitutional content in a clean, user-friendly format. We now imagine that the software could be shared and adapted to make other annotated texts readily accessible for analysis and comparison. A version of Constitute could be adapted for works of literature, songs, religious texts, or any number of other documents. The real work is, of course, the indexing of these texts. We would be deeply grateful for recommendations of collections of texts that are topically indexed, so we might reach out to the researchers to discuss potential collaborations. Should you have any recommendations of indexed collections or of persons whom we should contact, please kindly contact me at melanie@comparativeconstitutionsproject.org.

Download the report from the RLUK website (http://rluk.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ae16178f19ce6399c5a3bcb7f&id=172677b377&e=6857f2e4ce) The report revealed the important role that research libraries in the UK and Ireland play in facilitating academic research and teaching in Digital Humanities. More specifically, several of the participating libraries were found to be not only supporters of scholarship in the field, but active collaborators in projects where the creation, archiving, curation, and preservation of tools for Digital Humanities were involved. It is worth mentioning that as the majority of previous studies looks at the role of libraries in supporting scholarship rather than in their role as collaborators in its production and is conducted with US libraries as their main focus, the UK academic library landscape was largely unexplored. This report may be of interest as it is focused towards organisations which may: * play a significant part in supporting/advocating for research libraries as well as influencing strategic planning and policy making nationally/internationally * frequently support and collaborate with research libraries * provide a space for discussion on issues around the role of libraries in Digital Humanities scholarship * disseminate and discuss issues that concern the Digital Humanities community and its partners, such as research libraries * raise awareness of the issues within the area of Digital Humanities and Librarianship and promote relevant work Please do share this report with anyone who may be interested within your organisation or with your community members.

We are seeking chapter contributions of case studies in program design that cut across disciplines and emphasize the role of liberal education in society. The full call is available at the document link. Please consider sharing the CFP widely (or contributing!). Excerpt from call: "While many recent texts defend the value of a liberal education, this proposed edited collection will take the next step and address how institutions are rising to this challenge and developing liberal arts programs that prepare students for the relentless pace of change and innovation in the 21st century. Expanding on the AAC&U’s 2012 report, A Crucible Moment: College Learning and Democracy’s Future, this collection will explore best practices in revitalizing the liberal arts in higher education by showcasing how forward-thinking colleges and universities of all sizes and types are 'redesigning' with an eye to 21st century skills. Our collection will highlight institutions of all types and sizes pursuing creative (co)curricular innovations to design learning experiences that support students’ personal and professional development in liberal arts mindsets and skills." I hope the call is of interest to you, and we look forward to reading about your university's innovative practices in the liberal arts.

Moner, Ph.D. wjmoner@gmail.com --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2017 15:52:14 +0100 From: Fintan Nagle Subject: Third Call for Papers (submission date: 1 Sep): RoPP special issue on Computationalism and Philosophy of Information THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS Subsequent to our first and CfPs, Review of Philosophy and Psychology invites submissions for a special issue titled ‘Computationalism Meets the Philosophy of Information’. The view that the human mind is a kind of computational machine began to make waves with the advent of the first computers in the middle of the last century. McCulloch and Pitts suggested early on that the mind may be something like a Turing machine. This view came to be known as ‘classical computationalism’. It was quickly met with an onslaught of objections, and in reaction a number of liberalisations ensued. One view that has recently been gaining ground attempts to articulate the notion of computation in terms of information and information-processing. Interest in these two areas, i.e. computationalism and the philosophy of information, is on the ascendancy. This special issue is devoted to the intersection between them, especially to papers that engage in a meaningful way with recent work in cognitive science. Accepted papers will complement invited contributions from: - Rosa Cao (NYU) - Nir Fresco (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) - Michael Rescorla (UCLA) - Mark Sprevak (Edinburgh) Suitable papers may address such questions as: - What species of information are there, and which, if any, are processed by the mind? - Is there any evidence from neuroscience to support e.g. the claim that the brain operates with Shannon-information? - What is computation and how is it related to information processing? - Do certain theories of information privilege classical vs connectionist computationalism? - Can computation and/or information illuminate representational content? - Do measures of information flow capture learning? - How are human and deep learning analogous? - Can Bayesian models provide an adequate account of our cognitive capacities? Answers to these and related questions promise to extend our understanding of computation, information, the human mind, and its neural underpinning. Submissions and refereeing Submissions, no more than 8,000 words in length, are to be made through the online editorial manager https://www.editorialmanager.com/ropp/default.aspx, by September 1, 2017. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by no less than two referees. Guest Editors Brian Ball (Philosophy, NCH and Oxford), Fintan Nagle (Psychology, NCH and UCL), and Ioannis Votsis (Philosophy, NCH and LSE). Enquiries can be made to the Guest Editors at firstname.lastname@nchlondon.ac.uk.

In an address to the Mathematical and Physical sections of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1870, the natural philosopher James Clerk Maxwell, after acknowledging his debt to his predecessors, asked the following question: > But who will lead me into that still more hidden and dimmer region > where Thought weds Fact, where the mental operation of the > mathematician and the physical action of the molecules are seen in > their true relation? Does not the way to it pass through the very den > of the metaphysician, strewed with the remains of former explorers, > and abhorred by every man of science? (Scientific Papers of James Clerk Maxwell, ed. Niven, vol. 2, p. 216) He then turned to less metaphysical matters. In 1948 the neuropsychologist and chair of the Macy Conferences on cybernetics, Warren McCulloch commented, > The reason for his failure was simply that his physics was not > adequate to the problem that he had undertaken. That has so regularly > been the shortcoming of scientists who would have approached this > problem, that even Clerk Maxwell, who wanted nothing more than to know > the relation between thoughts and the molecular motions of the brain, > cut short his query.... ("Through the Den of the Metaphysician", British Journal for the Philosophy of Science 5.17 (1954): 18) But, with even more adequate physics than McCulloch knew, the question still hangs temptingly in the air. As far as we are concerned, let me ask another version of Clerk Maxwell's question: in attempting to understand the operations of modelling, who has led us closer, not to a molecular understanding of it but to its cognitive psychology? Is there work in the psychology of discovery that would help us? Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University and North Carolina State University; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20) --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2017 10:49:38 -0500 From: Paul Fishwick Subject: 31.126 unrecognised Dear Willard To what extent is the digital humanities a creative investigation on how mathematics can be included in the humanities? 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 > 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.

Dear Paul, I think this is a fair point, and I would love to hear from digital humanists who know the situation in Russia better, as (if I got it correctly) mathematics is stronger also in the humanities, and also, the modelling tradition (at least in history) seems to be influenced by that. Also that the experimental aspects of modelling plays an important role, which leads to complex relationships between models, or between versions of the same model. You can create a 3D model without ever seeing one line expressed in mathematical language — still, one can argue that the real model is the mathematical expression and the visual model on your screen is a visualisation of it. I have come to see that as a false assumption. The model IS the 3D object in the computer: the visual 3D model is what is created and manipulated in the modelling practice. Mathematics is important, but the relationship is more complex than one being “real” and the other one being just a visual expression of the “real” one. The humanities experienced a grand loss when natural philosophy left to become natural sciences. Many a humanities researcher, a philosopher, in the seventeenth century was no stranger to practical experiments and material research tasks — physical model building, practical experiments, etc. It is true that many parts of the humanities have had practice elements all the time up until now, for instance, connected to material culture: archaeology, art history, palaeography, epigraphy, etc. etc. But the dominance and the normal practice, so to speak, has been elsewhere. I hope digital humanities is in the process of bringing the practical, experimental, physically playful elements back to the humanities — or rather, to strengthen the practical that was always there, but weak. Even if the experiments and play now to a large extent happens within virtual systems in computers and we also have to find out more about the relationship between the materiality of computational models and the materiality of physical models.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2017 08:10:21 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: mixed and manipulatory Rather than talk exclusively about 'applied' mathematics, which suggests taking a tool developed elsewhere, then applying it in a new situation, I'd like to hear more about what was once called mixed mathematics (Oki, Historia Scientarum 23.2, 2013), also known as physico-mathematics (Schuster, Synthese 185, 2012) or sub-scientific (Høyrup, Hist. of Science 28.1, 1990), and in anthropology, ethnomathematics (Ascher, Mathematics Elsewhere, 2002). I know, I am blurring over some distinctions here, but my basic interest is in getting at manipulatory, combinatoric operations in which some kind of mathematics, even if by proxy, accompanies or arises from kinaesthesis, as when you count with your fingers or move calculi (little stones) around, i.e. compute with an abacus. How about (to shift to geometry), when a South Pacific islander moves a boat according to a memorised schematic of the sea currents? It seems to me that the term 'mixed mathematics' would do us well, at least as a starting point, but then I am conditioned by my history. I learned programming first from assembler language (e.g., in English, 'load accumulator with contents of memory location X, shift left accumulator 1 bit, store result in memory location Y') and similar. So I have a penchant for thinking of what goes on computationally in such physical terms. But what about those not so long in the tooth? Does computing have kinaesthetic appeal or meaning? Is there anything here worth developing? Suggestions? Comments?

Benzon" Subject: Re: 31.217 on mathematics: mixed and manipulatory In-Reply-To: <20170730073702.452F36909@digitalhumanities.org> Yes, Willard, there’s something worth developing. As you’ve mentioned, when we first learn to count, we do so through a physical process: we enumerate collections of small objects while uttering number words. And then we’ll be given sheets of paper where we see depicts of small collections and we’re asked to list the number of objects in the collection. That is, we are to write the numeral that corresponds to the appropriate number word (‘1’ for ‘one’) etc. Then when we are taught calculation we are taught to write the numbers in a certain format. As exactitude is important we drill on this for hours and this particular kind of exactitude does not come "naturally.” More abstractly, think about the Turing machine. Turing asked us to image a paper tape moving over a head which can read symbols from the type and write to it: > ...an unlimited memory capacity obtained in the form of an infinite > tape marked out into squares, on each of which a symbol could be > printed. At any moment there is one symbol in the machine; it is > called the scanned symbol. The machine can alter the scanned symbol, > and its behavior is in part determined by that symbol, but the > symbols on the tape elsewhere do not affect the behavior of the > machine. However, the tape can be moved back and forth through the > machine, this being one of the elementary operations of the machine. > Any symbol on the tape may therefore eventually have an innings.[17] > (Turing > 1948, p. 3[18] > ) From Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_machine You might also want to take a look at the cognitive metaphor work by George Lakoff and Raphael Núñez. There’s their 1997 article, The Metaphorical Structure of Mathematics: Sketching Out Cognitive Foundations for a Mind-Based Mathematics, which you can download here: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/5qq7q51z http://escholarship.org/uc/item/5qq7q51z On page 37 you will find this: > Arithmetic Is Motion > Numbers Are Locations on a Path. > The Mathematical Agent is a Traveler along that path. > Arithmetic Operations Are Acts of Moving along the path. > The Result of an arithmetic operation Is A Location on the path. And so forth. They’ve devoted a book to the topic: Where Mathematics Comes From (Basic Books 2000), which has a Wikipedia page (including critical comments): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Mathematics_Comes_From I should note that I’m skeptical of the cognitive metaphor program for various reasons. Over the years Lakoff & Co. have turned it into something of a Theory of Everything, which automatically invites either uncritical acceptance or suspicion. But there IS something at the core of this enterprise that is worth attending to. The Wikipedia article on Numerical Cognition may also be of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_cognition Piaget has some remarks on the biological origins of mathematics in his Biology and Knowledge (1974). Alas, my copy is in storage so I cannot find the relevant passage. –BB > On Jul 30, 2017, at 3:37 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 217. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sun, 30 Jul 2017 08:10:21 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: mixed and manipulatory > > > Rather than talk exclusively about 'applied' mathematics, which suggests > taking a tool developed elsewhere, then applying it in a new > situation, I'd like to hear more about what was once called mixed > mathematics (Oki, Historia Scientarum 23.2, 2013), also known as > physico-mathematics (Schuster, Synthese 185, 2012) or sub-scientific > (Høyrup, Hist. of Science 28.1, 1990), and in anthropology, > ethnomathematics (Ascher, Mathematics Elsewhere, 2002).

Visualising networks of correspondence, mapping intellectual geographies, mining textual corpora: many modes of digital scholarship have special relevance to the problems and methods of the history of science, and the last few years have seen the launch of a number of new platforms and projects in this area. With contributions from projects around the UK, these two workshops will be an opportunity to share ideas, to reflect on what is being achieved and to consider what might be done next. Workshop I History Faculty, University of Oxford Thursday, 28 September 2017, 9:30am-5pm Confirmed speakers include: * Pieropaolo Dondio, Publishing the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society * Kathryn Eccles, Cabinet Project * Louisiane Ferlier, Sloane’s Minute Books * Rob Iliffe, Newton Project * Lauren Kassell, Casebooks Project * Alison Pearn, Darwin Correspondence * Anna Henry (a lightning talk) Travel bursaries are available for students and early career researchers; for more information, please consult the workshop website. Attendance is free but registration is required.

Hugill has a distinctive perspective on the field through his work in music composition and musicology, computer science and 'pataphysics. In particular, he will explore the challenges that arise when the objective precisions of computer systems encounter the subjective ambiguities of human beings, and the position of music in digital humanities research. In the process, he will consider such key concepts as creativity, style, logic, flow, exceptions, contradictions, and the pataphysical clinamen. Hugill is the author of 'Pataphysics: A Useless Guide (MIT Press, 2012) and The Digital Musician (Routledge, 2008).

The Conference provides the following proposal categories: -long proposal (30 mins: 20 mins + 10 mins for for questions and answers): it should discuss innovative methodologies and their theoretical foundations, experiences of analysis and applications that are methodologically significant within a discipline; presentations devoted to presenting a specific tool or resource are acceptable only if they include a thorough critical discussion of the methods used and/or a theoretical evaluation of the results obtained; -short proposal (20 mins: 15 mins + 5 mins for questions and answers): it must present a mature research product or a research project; -panel (90 mins, including questions and answers): a series of presentations (maximum 6) should describe, from a theoretical and methodological point of view, a specific topic or a critical presentation of the grounding, methods and results of a big project; -poster: must primarily address the progress of an ongoing project or the technical details of a tool or of a digital resource; -workshop and tutorial: in the two days prior to the Conference, one or two workshops or tutorials on topics or tools of interest to the DH community will be accepted. Proposals will be evaluated through double-blind peer review by scholars in the Humanities, Computer Science and/or Digital Humanities. The proposal evaluation will be carried out based on the following criteria: -Relevance to the topic of the conference; consistency with the Digital Humanities and Digital Culture domains. -Originality, relevance, or innovative approach. -Methodological rigour, accurate description of the methodology; the research presented should be reproducible. -Adequacy of the theoretical and conceptual approach to the reference domain. -Consistency of arguments; clear definition and of the objectives; coherence between objectives and results. -Critical analysis of the literature; a bibliography. -Quality of any technical solutions proposed within the reference domain. -Good balance between the Humanities and Computer Science components of the research. -Structure of the text; quality of writing; ease of understanding; explanations of scientific language. At the end of the evaluation process, the Program Committee may decide to move an accepted proposal to a different category of presentation. To submit a proposal, please sign into ConfTool ( http://www.conftool.net/aiucd2018). When submitting a proposal, authors must specify keywords from those suggested by the platform in order to facilitate the review process. Proposal structure and formats Proposals must clearly present the goals of the contribution, provide a brief overview of the state of the art, specify and discuss the methodology adopted and, where appropriate, the results obtained or expected. The abstracts will be published in a book with an ISBN identifier. The most promising contributions will be selected for publication as full articles in the AIUCD Umanistica Digitale journal ( https://umanisticadigitale.unibo.it). Proposals must also include a short bibliography. Figures or tables may be included. The length of the proposal varies depending on the type of proposal: -Long paper proposal should be 1500-1800 words in length (including footnotes but excluding the bibliography); -Short paper and poster proposals should be 800-1000 words in length (including footnotes but excluding the bibliography); -Panel proposals should be f 800-1000 words in length plus 200-250 words for each single presentation, (including footnotes but excluding the bibliography); -Workshop or tutorial proposals should count 1000 words at least and include: a title and a short description of the content and its relevance to the conference and the DH community in general , complete information of all tutors with a brief description of the research interests and previous experience, requests for technical support at the conference, and whether the workshop will have its own Call for Participation. When submitting the proposal, ConfTool also requires the provision of a short abstract (300 words). Proposals should be drafted according to the templates available at -Word: http://www.aiucd2018.uniba.it/content/abstract_template.docx -ODT: http://www.aiucd2018.uniba.it/content/abstract_template.odt which also includes editorial specifications. The official languages of the AIUCD 2018 Conference are Italian and English, but it is possible to submit a proposal also in the following languages: French, German and Spanish. In these cases, it is mandatory to provide a short abstract in English in ConfTool. Posters should be written in Italian or English. Posters will also need to clearly present the objectives of the project, provide a brief overview of the state of the art and the methodologies adopted and, where appropriate, the results obtained or expected. They must also contain a short bibliography. The format is portrait A1 (841x594 mm). Posters will be displayed in a dedicated space at the Conference venue. Display panels will be provided. Please bring your poster already printed, as we are unable to provide a printing service. Personal laptop computers may be used in the poster exhibition area. If your presentation includes a laptop, please inform the organising committee on acceptance of your proposal. Specific poster slam sessions will be scheduled in the Conference programme to give authors the opportunity to briefly introduce (max 2 minutes) their poster. Giuseppe Gigliozzi Conference Bursary Awards AIUCD will offer three bursaries awards of 250€ each for early-career scholars (students and non-tenured lecturers) presenting papers (long or short) at the conference. Eligible scholars can apply by selecting the relevant check-box at the bottom of the abstract submission form in ConfTool. Candidate papers will be selected by reviewers. Prior to the conference, the AIUCD Board will make a preliminary review of all papers proposed by the reviewers, and will then verify their eligibility and compile a preliminary list of a maximum of 10 papers. Next, a panel of reviewers will be recruited from the AIUCD Board, the Program Committee members, the program session chairs, and other experienced participants attending the conference. During the course of the conference, one or more reviewers will attend and observe each candidate presentation and make recommendations to the Board. Winners will be selected by the Board at the end of the conference, and the results will be communicated during the General Assembly. Please note that no more than one winner can be based at the organising institution.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2017 06:57:30 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: e-mail and text-analysis In the New York Review of Books for 24 July, staff writer Nathan Heller offers us sobering but not surprising reflections on deluges of e-mail, and from that subject to the hyped powers of computational methods to bring quicker understanding from large bodies of text and ideas about them. (His particular focus is the corpus of Enron corporate e-mails.) On the analysis of corpora he writes as follows: > The limits of corpus analysis, in other words, are human; in the gap > between data and knowledge, we fall back on our social understandings > of the world. This recourse can help computers with complex use > cases, such as "pretty." But when help is supposed to flow from > machine to human, we can end up gazing into a mirror, not a > clarifying lens. Like the work of the midcentury structuralist > anthropologists, corpus analysis purports to pattern-seek > dispassionately. The endeavor, though, requires focussing on certain > patterns over others, and imbuing them with a relational logic based > on what's already known. We learn as much about our social selves in > the act of interpreting the Enron corpus as we do in the e-mails > themselves. Behind the meaning of the commons, there's an author > still. I found out about this article because a kind colleague spotted a mention of me and thought I might have missed it, as I had. Here's what Heller wrote: > A field known as digital humanities has emerged around text-crunching > analysis in its modern form. A key advocate of the method, Willard > McCarty, touted computers' virtues as "modelling machines": they can > test and discard working theories without years of exploratory work. An interesting verb, 'tout'. What Heller probably meant was, > (a) To importune (a person) in a touting manner; (b) to solicit > custom for (a thing), to try to sell; also (U.S.) in extended sense, > to recommend. (OED, v1, 3b) Do I tout? Anyhow, I've never argued that computers "can test and discard working theories without years of exploratory work" -- except to quote Northrop Frye's ironically hopeful remark along those lines. If only! And to get back to the key paragraph above, of course humans are always involved. Why is it that we forget the person, forget that the machine does nothing alone, nothing that does not involve us, before, after and normally during? The major point from the analytic side, which he seems to have missed, is, I'd think, in the difference, in what we get and the digital method misses -- and that these blur in the act of modelling as we use it to create meaning. Too bad Heller also missed the lesson from Humanist: that a curated, edited operation can be as much worth reading as any disciplined conversation. True?

Why is it that we forget the person, forget that the machine does nothing alone, nothing that does not involve us, before, after and normally during?" As a long time science fiction fan, I've always wondered - and now that we have having a resurgence of AI work (perhaps mostly enabled by the giant strides in computational power and memory size) I'm wondering even more, particularly since I very recently read https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonybradley/2017/07/31/facebook-ai-creates-its-own-language-in-creepy-preview-of-our-potential-future/ describing computers apparently doing something on their own.

We would like to understand what technologies are currently available and what would be the costs of developing and implementing such a service. We are interested in research databases only (including relational databases, graph databases, NoSQL databases, and RDF triplestores). Please do not include administrative databases in your response. We are equally interested in hearing from institutions that provide a research database service and those that don't offer a service of this kind, as we wish to understand their reasons for not doing so. Complete the survey now: bit.ly/2spRvny http://bit.ly/2spRvny . The closing date is Friday 18th August, 2017.

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. Abstract submission For papers, please submit abstracts of 100 words and extended abstracts of 800-1000 words through the EasyChair. Make sure that the abstract is prepared for blind review. Symposia proposals should include: (1) a short (100-word) and long (800-1000 word) abstract which offers an overall description of the proposed symposium, (2) a 250 word abstract for each of the individuals papers and (3) names, and short CVs for all the speakers (max. 1 page in total). The deadline for submission is 15 September 2017, and the notification of acceptance will be in mid-November 2017. To submit, please prepare a PDF file of your extended abstract, and follow this link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ms8 If you do not already have an EasyChair account, you need to create one on entering the site. When logged in, click on the new submission link. Include your 100 words abstract and upload the PDF file of your extended abstract. You will be able to revise your submission any number of times before the deadline.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2017 23:37:27 +0530 From: Arun Tripathi Subject: Information Cultures in the Digital Age: A Festschrift in Honour of Rafael Capurro Dear Professor McCarty-ji: It is my honor to announce that Information Cultures in the Digital Age: A Festschrift in Honor of Rafael Capurro is now published by Springer in August 2016. Information Cultures in the Digital Age: A Festschrift in Honor of Rafael Capurro (Edited by Matthew Kelly & Jared Bielby), Springer Verlag, Wiesbaden 2016. For several decades Rafael Capurro has been at the forefront of defining the relationship between information and modernity through both phenomenological and ethical formulations. In exploring both of these themes Capurro has re-vivified the transcultural and intercultural expressions of how we bring an understanding of information to bear on scientific knowledge production and intermediation. This Festschrift seeks to celebrate Rafael Capurro’s important contribution to a global dialogue on how information conceptualisation, use and technology impact human culture and the ethical questions that arise from this dynamic relationship. In the book, Information Cultures in the Digital Age: A Festschrift in Honor of Rafael Capurro (Edited by Matthew Kelly & Jared Bielby) I have also contributed a chapter The Significance of Digital Hermeneutics for the Philosophy of Technology.

So far, I am at the stage of automatically correcting the OCR of the Danby Pickering edition of the Statutes At Large. It's all about the technical problem of improving the text quality at the moment; there's no actual analysis of the laws themselves yet. There's also the raw OCR of 10 volumes of pre-union Irish statutes.

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) 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. [...] IMPORTANT DATES Deadlines : - Abstract submission: 15 August 2017 - Notification of acceptance: 5 September 2017 - Final version of paper: 30 October 2017 - Workshop: 28-29 November 2017 All proposals will be peer-reviewed and published in the second issue of Studia UBB Digitalia.

A while back we were discussing the role of mathematics in thinking at what I like to call the 'base-level' of digital research, that is, with awareness of the all-or-nothing logic that governs the operations of the machine and the combinatorics that it makes possible. At this level what happens is rather close to the Sino-Japanese game of go, and at a further remove any sort of manipulatory operation that people use to reckon, i.e. count, account, think, play. My question is this: what is the relation between physical manipulatory reckoning (in all those senses) and reasoning with computers as we know them now? In the days when I did assembler-language programming I thought of many of the instructions (e.g. 'shift left accumulator 2 bits') quite physically, imagining the hardware as if bits were moved in space from one slot to another. The very language of those instructions encoded the kinaesthetics of calculation (calculus, 'small stone'). I'd guess we don't think like that now. But is that so? Are there any studies e.g. in cognitive psychology which bear on this question? We are able to ignore sub-vocalisation when it happens while we're reading. Are we ignoring some kind of kinaesthesis when we're computing these days? To draw on Aden Evens' argument in Logic of the Digital, the equivalent to shifting bits is our alphabetic (or alphabetically inspired) typing on the keyboard and clicking or not clicking the mouse on this or that provided icon -- all choices among discrete (rather than continuous), software-defined possibilities. Any references to writings from cognitive psychology or elsewhere would be greatly appreciated.

This study is funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and emerged from collaborative conversations between Mellon, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Library of Congress. We hope the report will serve as a catalyst for further OCR research and help the community move forward best practices for digital collections using OCR data. We are seeking input from the scholarly communities invested in historical and multilingual OCR, including but not limited to: humanities researchers employing text mining and analysis; humanities researchers drawing on findings from keyword search in historical databases; computer scientists researching OCR; and library professionals creating, maintaining, or developing tools on top of OCR-derived collections. We have prepared a brief community survey, which is available (along with a longer project description) at http://ocr.northeastern.edu/. Though it's often hidden, OCR is a domain that affects most of us: please consider adding your experiences and ideas to our survey. Thank you in advance for your help!

In-Reply-To: Regarding > My question is this: what is the relation between physical > manipulatory reckoning > (in all those senses) and reasoning with computers as we know them now? To me it depends upon the computational model one is thinking of-- a Turing machine is very manipulatory -- the lambda calculus much less so. I think it is rare these days for people to think about computation models at the machine language level. Perhaps the popularity of Turing Machines is that they can be thought of in such concrete terms. I once read that Turing preferred this but can't find the reference.

This is not my area of expertise, but there is considerable work in the area of computer science education and software engineering on the type of mental models used by programmers. One important concept is that of the “notional machine”: “an idealized, conceptual computer whose properties are implied by the constructs in the programming language employed.” du Boulay, B., O’Shea, T., & Monk, J. (1989). The black box inside the glass box: presenting computing concepts to novices. In E. Soloway & J.C. Spohrer (Eds.), Studying the novice programmer (pp. 431–446). Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum. Cited in Robins, Anthony, Janet Rountree, and Nathan Rountree. "Learning and teaching programming: A review and discussion." Computer science education 13.2 (2003): 137-172. Here is a more recent article on this concept: Sorva, Juha. "Notional machines and introductory programming education." ACM Transactions on Computing Education (TOCE) 13.2 (2013): 8. As you note, different programming languages give rise to different notional machines. Often, notional machines contain physical constructs: such as the physical motion of bits in the shift operator or the concept of a variable as a box where values can be stored. Notional machines can also contain concepts that are more linguistic – models of reference, for example. As an example, see: Miller, Craig S. "Metonymy and reference-point errors in novice programming." Computer Science Education 24.2-3 (2014): 123-152. ——————————————————————————————— Robin Burke, Professor School of Computing, DePaul University rburke@cs.depaul.edu _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-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 B14987747; Wed, 16 Aug 2017 06:58:52 +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 ECCAE7719; Wed, 16 Aug 2017 06:58:50 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id DB1C176F1; Wed, 16 Aug 2017 06:58:45 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170816045845.DB1C176F1@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 16 Aug 2017 06:58:45 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.249 events: theory & practice of digital storytelling 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: <20170816045851.13309.78142@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 249.

This year's Forum includes three keynote talks, several hands-on workshops, and a day of presentations and poster sessions on the theory and practice of digital storytelling. We will explore approaches and examples of digital storytelling that address questions related to democratizing DH practices, communicating knowledge and research, and representing underrepresented languages, places and peoples. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For full schedule, registration form, and other details please see http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please forward widely. The Forum is free to attend and open to participants at KU and beyond. However, space is limited, especially for the workshops. Please register early but we ask that you register only when you are sure you will attend. Questions may be directed to the Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities, idrh@ku.edu. The Forum features the following events: ================================== Thursday, September 28 - WORKSHOPS ================================== Twine 2.x: Building Games and Interactive Narratives (Anastasia Salter) Sustainable Authorship in Plain Text (Dennis Tenen) Everyday Archives: The Black Experience in Kansas (Alexsandra Mitchell) Maintaining the Digital Site of Knowledge: How to Become a Wikipedia Editor (Paul Thomas) Narrative Mechanics in 2D Gamespace (Joshua Miner) An Introduction to Geospatial Timeline Tools: Neatline & Itinerary (Andy Stuhl) =========================================== Friday, September 29 - DIGITAL STORYTELLING =========================================== A one-day program of panels and poster sessions showcasing digital humanities projects and research. ============= KEYNOTE TALKS ============= Data and the Recovery of Black Humanity in the Digital Humanities Kim Gallon The visualization of data on Black life across time and space in the digital stratosphere dehumanizes and humanizes at once a people whose humanity has historically been challenged. For instance, the digits that 16th and 17th century slave traders recorded in ledgers transformed captured Africans’ lives into data that scholars have visualized to recover Black humanity. In this sense, a data life cycle has the potential to confirm, disprove and answer questions about Black life that carries with it the constant specter of Black sub-humanity. How, then, can digital humanists develop an ethics of care when they engage in technologies of recovery that rely on data that originated in an oppressive racial context? How might digital humanists rehabilitate visualization processes which subject Blackness to methods which historically have been deployed to subvert Black humanity? This talk explores the role that data plays in a technology of recovery. In so doing, I hope to propose a set of theories and practices digital humanists can adopt when they work with data that can recover Black humanity. Community Strength in Storytelling Joseph Erb Indigenous communities are adapting traditional oral stories for use in digital media. Stories are being transformed into different types of media across communities including film, animation, social media, and localization, for example. These new forms of expression are transforming how the communities share and transfer stories, language and narratives to the next generation. While these communities have welcomed new digital platforms for storytelling, Indigenous values and beliefs remain the core of these stories. Not Just Point and Click: The Poetics of Choice (and Resistance) in Narrative Games Anastasia Salter Mainstream video games are only occasionally seen as sites of compelling digital storytelling, and even more rarely attract controversy for their narrative representations. However, the medium of video games is far broader than bestsellers suggest, and some of the most powerful examples of interactive digital narratives can be found in personal games. Typically created by individuals or small teams using emerging platforms that enable rapid and accessible development, these personal games range from short hypertextual confessions to unusual and emotional interactive worlds. Examining the poetics of recent personal games inspired by ongoing political upheaval in the United States reveals the power of these games as acts of resistance. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For full schedule, registration form, and other details please see http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Brian Rosenblum Co-Director, Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities Faculty Engagement Librarian for Digital Scholarship University of Kansas Libraries Room 450, Watson Library | 1425 Jayhawk Blvd. | Lawrence, KS 66045-7537 Ph.

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.

At “New Frontiers in Mapping the Maya Tropics: Neotropical Digital Archaeology, Global Development, and Urban Ecosystems”, I will introduce public lectures by Kathryn Reese-Taylor (Calgary) and Scott Huston (Hutson). All are welcome to attend (free registration link below). Please do spread this message widely (or request a flyer to put up and distribute). On the same theme there is a collaborative research meeting on the 8th of September 2017. This is invitee only. Should you have a specific research interest in Maya urbanism and its relevance to contemporary urban development, please do not hesitate to contact me. Eastern ARC Digital Humanities presents: New Frontiers in Mapping the Maya Tropics Neotropical Digital Archaeology, Global Development, and Urban Ecosystems Public lectures by Kathryn Reese-Taylor and Scott Hutson Archaeologists using airborne LiDAR technology have started to reveal vast urban landscapes underneath the tropical forests of Central America. We can now consider how mapping these inhabitation patterns can help urban development today. Kathryn Reese-Taylor (Calgary) and Scott Hutson (Kentucky) are experts in the mapping of tropical Maya cities. Introduced by Eastern ARC Fellow Benjamin Vis (Kent) we will reflect on the archaeological opportunities this affords and the challenges it poses. Where?

Daughter of the Este dukes of Ferrara and wife of Francesco II Gonzaga, Isabella d’Este left a legacy of over 29,000 letters which address topics ranging from art collecting and fashion to governing and diplomacy, from food and animals to health and travel. These are now available for study as scanned, high resolution images in IDEA. IDEA also features projects on Isabella’s music patronage and performance and on her collection of ceramics. In collaboration with the Italian center for supercomputing, Cineca, the IDEA team is also developing an immersive, virtual recreation of Isabella’s famed studiolo, the first, signature art collection assembled by a European woman. Deanna Shemek Deanna Shemek is Professor of Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz. She is the author of Ladies Errant: Wayward Women and Social Order in Early Modern Italy (1998) and co-editor of Phaethon’s Children: The Este Court and its Culture in Early Modern Ferrara (2005) and Writing Relations: American Scholars in Italian Archives (2008). She edited and co-translated Adriana Cavarero, Stately Bodies: Literature, Philosophy, and the Question of Gender (1995). While publishing essays on Ariosto, Aretino, Boccaccio, and a number of women poets, she has been studying the correspondence of Isabella d’Este for many years.

The view that the human mind is a kind of computational machine began to make waves with the advent of the first computers in the middle of the last century. McCulloch and Pitts suggested early on that the mind may be something like a Turing machine. This view came to be known as ‘classical computationalism’. It was quickly met with an onslaught of objections, and in reaction a number of liberalisations ensued. One view that has recently been gaining ground attempts to articulate the notion of computation in terms of information and information-processing. Interest in these two areas, i.e. computationalism and the philosophy of information, is on the ascendancy. This special issue is devoted to the intersection between them, especially to papers that engage in a meaningful way with recent work in cognitive science. Accepted papers will complement invited contributions from: - Rosa Cao (NYU) - Nir Fresco (Ben-Gurion University of the Negev) - Michael Rescorla (UCLA) - Mark Sprevak (Edinburgh) Suitable papers may address such questions as: - What species of information are there, and which, if any, are processed by the mind? - Is there any evidence from neuroscience to support e.g. the claim that the brain operates with Shannon-information? - What is computation and how is it related to information processing? - Do certain theories of information privilege classical vs connectionist computationalism? - Can computation and/or information illuminate representational content? - Do measures of information flow capture learning? - How are human and deep learning analogous? - Can Bayesian models provide an adequate account of our cognitive capacities? Answers to these and related questions promise to extend our understanding of computation, information, the human mind, and its neural underpinning. Submissions and refereeing Submissions, no more than 8,000 words in length, are to be made through the online editorial manager https://www.editorialmanager.com/ropp/default.aspx, by September 1, 2017. Each submission will be peer-reviewed by no less than two referees. Guest Editors Brian Ball (Philosophy, NCH and Oxford), Fintan Nagle (Psychology, NCH and UCL), and Ioannis Votsis (Philosophy, NCH and LSE). Enquiries can be made to the Guest Editors at firstname.lastname@nchlondon.ac.uk.

Digital Editing, Literature and Gender Studies Call for Papers The Cologne Centre for eHumanities (CCeH) is organising a three-day symposium from the 8th to the 10th of November at the University of Cologne. The event aims at exploring intersectional approaches on textual scholarship and Digital Humanities theories, practices, and tools. A session will be dedicated to Italian and German women writers during the Renaissance. This specific case study is part of a project funded by NetEx (Network and Exchange funding programme, University of Cologne). We welcome proposals in any area of scholarship, that pay specific attention to intersectionality, and that employ digital and collaborative approaches to the study or the editing of marginalised subjectivities and their digital modelling and representations. We encourage the submission of projects’ presentations at an advanced stage that investigate how digital technologies can re/produce, enable or restrict the construction of identities (e.g. in racialised and gendered terms). Researchers of all levels, including students and professional practitioners, are welcome. We expect a diverse audience of textual scholars, historians, information scientists, social scientists, digital humanists, graduate students and interested members of the public. The communication language of the symposium will be English, but we are accepting proposals and papers in English, Italian and German.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 29 Aug 2017 06:37:06 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: determinism and the shallows Without having read Nicholas Carr's The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, reported by Amazon as finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in General Nonfiction and praised as "a Silent Spring for the literary mind" (Michael Agger, Slate), no critical judgment is possible. But the ease with which this book thus known slides into the category of tiresome doomsday pronouncements raises suspicions if not hackles. I'm nevertheless stirred to comment by the evident determinism in the subtitle. I am tempted to say that anyone whose brain is that passive deserves whatever damage the internet inflicts on him or her. Perhaps, now, survival of evolutionary struggle will depend on doing more than twittering and facebooking oneself into mindlessness? See Charlie Brooker's "Nosedive", Black Mirror, Season 3 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosedive) for a taste of that possible future. Technological determinism is a serious philosophical problem. But to focus on just one half of the co-evolutionary cycle of us and our inventions is to help realise the story that Carr's book's title implies. Or so it seems to me.

To mark the occasion, a three-day interdisciplinary conference is being organised at the Universities of Dundee and St Andrews, where D’Arcy spent most of his career and where his surviving collections are held. It will feature a range of presentations covering every aspect of D’Arcy’s own work and the various fields that it has influenced. We are also delighted to welcome two outstanding speakers to give the keynote lectures at the conference. These will be free and open to the public to attend: Friday 13 October - Lars Spuybroek (NOX / Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta) Lars Spuybroek is an internationally acclaimed Dutch architect whose practice, NOX, has become renowned for organically inspired projects. Having taught in the University of Kassel and Columbia University, he is now Professor of Architectural Design at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. His lecture will discuss the implications of D’Arcy’s ideas for architecture, drawing on experiments with both analogue as well as digital computing techniques for design. Saturday 14 October - Evelyn Fox Keller (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) (The Fauvel Lecture, supported by the British Society for the History of Mathematics) Evelyn Fox Keller is one of the most internationally respected historians of science. A physicist, author and feminist, she is currently Professor Emerita of the History & Philosophy of Science at MIT. Beginning her career in theoretical physics, she moved on to work in molecular biology before becoming renowned for her work as a feminist critic of science. Her books include Keywords in Evolutionary Biology (1998), The Century of the Gene (2000) and Making Sense of Life: Explaining Biological Development with Models, Metaphors, and Machines (2002). The latter has a particular focus on mathematical biology and in her lecture she will discuss the legacy of D’Arcy Thompson’s work. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 28 Aug 2017 00:27:03 +0300 From: "Mari Sarv" Subject: CFP: Conference and graduate school "Open licences, open content, open data: tools for developing digital humanities" on November 1-3, 2017 in Tartu, Estonia Dear all, You are welcome to participate in the conference and graduate school "Open licences, open content, open data: tools for developing digital humanities", November 1–3, 2017, Estonian National Museum (http://dh.org.ee/category/events/dhe2017/) in Tartu, Estonia.

Since beginning operations in 2003 we have been a lean and agile virtual organization, pioneering distributed computing for archiving ethnographic audiovisual materials and contributing to national and international bodies developing standards for operation in the emerging digital humanities ecosystem. This presentation will trace some of the key points in this chronology, highlighting some of its low and high points, with a view to provoking discussion about planning for resilience and sustainability of digital humanities projects. Linda Barwick is a musicologist, specialising in the study of Australian Aboriginal musics, immigrant musics and the digital humanities (particularly archiving and repatriation of ethnographic field recordings as a site of interaction between researchers and cultural heritage communities). She was the foundation director of the award-winning digital archive PARADISEC (paradisec.org.au), established in 2003 to preserve and make accessible field recordings of endangered languages and musics of the Asia-Pacific region. She has undertaken numerous projects to repatriate digital records of archival cultural materials, currently in partnerships with the Central Land Council (Alice Springs) and Pintubi Anmatjere Warlpiri Media and Communications (Yuendumu, NT), both funded as Australian Research Council Linkage Projects.

Alan Liu, University of California, Santa Barbara, http://liu.english.ucsb.edu - Distinguished Professor in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an affiliated faculty member of UCSB’s Media Arts & Technology graduate program. Frans Mäyrä, University of Tampere, http://www.unet.fi - Professor of Information Studies and Interactive Media (specifically digital culture and game studies) In 2018, the conference seeks to extend the scope of digital humanities research covered, both into new areas, as well as beyond the Nordic and Baltic countries. In pursuit of this, in addition to the abstracts familiar from humanities traditions, we also adopt a call for publication ready texts as is the tradition in computer science conferences. Therefore, we accept the following types of submissions: 1. Publication ready texts of length appropriate to the topic. Accepted papers will be submitted to the CEUR-WS proceedings series for publication in a citable form. 1. Long paper: 8-12 pages, presented in 20 min plus 10 min for Q&A 2. Short paper: 4-8 pages, presented in 10 min plus 5 min for Q&A 3. Poster/demo: 2-4 pages, presented as an A1 academic poster in a poster session. 2. Abstracts of a maximum of 2000 words. Proposals are expected to indicate a preference between a) long, b) short, or c) poster/demo format for presentation. Approved abstracts will be published in a book of abstracts on the conference website. Submissions to the conference are now open at ConfTool: https://www.conftool.net/dhn2018/ Important dates The call for proposals opened on 28 August 2017, and the deadline for submitting proposals is 25 October 2017. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 8 January 2018. For papers accepted into the citable proceedings, there is an additional deadline of 5 February 2018for producing a final version of your paper that takes into account the comments made by the reviewers. This year, the conference welcomes in particular work related to the following themes: History While the number of researchers describing themselves as digital historians is increasing, computational approaches to history have rarely captured the attention of those without innate interest in digital humanities. To address this, we particularly invite presentations of historical research whose use of digital methods advances the overall methodological basis of the field. Cultural Heritage Libraries, galleries, archives and museums are making vast amounts of cultural heritage openly digitally available. However, tapping into these resources for research requires cultivating co-operation and trust between scholars and heritage institutions, due to the cultural, institutional, legal and technical boundaries crossed. We invite proposals describing such co-operation – examples of great resources for cultural heritage scholarship, of problems solved using such data, as well as e.g. intellectual property rights issues. Games Humanities perspectives on games are an established part of the game studies community. Yet their relationship with digital humanities remains undefined. Digitality and games, digital methods and games, games as digital methods, and so on are all areas available for research. We invite proposals that address high-level game concepts like "fun", "immersion", "design", "interactivity", etc positioned as points of contact with the digital. Future We also invite proposals in the broad category of 'Future'. Accepted proposals will still fit in the overall context of the conference and highlight new perspectives to the digital humanities. Submissions may range from applications of data science to humanities research to work on human-machine interaction and ecological digital humanities. We also welcome reflections on the future of the digital humanities, as well as the societal impact of the humanities. Finally, the overarching theme this year is Open Science. This pragmatic concept emphasises the role of transparent and reproducible research practices, open dissemination of results, and new forms of collaboration, all greatly facilitated by digitalisation. All proposals are invited to reflect on the benefits, challenges, and prospects of open science for their own research. Call for workshops/panels and tutorials In addition to individual papers, the conference calls for interested parties to submit proposals for workshops/panels and tutorial sessions to be held preceding the conference. Workshops/panelsgather together participants around a particular subtopic, while tutorialspresent a useful tool or method of interest to the digital humanities community. Either can take the form of either a half or a full day session, and they generally take place the day prior to the conference. Proposals should include the session format, title, and a short description of its topic (max 2000 words) as well as the contact information of the person/s responsible. Proposals should also include the following: intended audience, approximate number of participants, and any special technical requirements.

See full description below or visit https://eadh.org/news/ 2017/08/29/first-eadh-conference-call-bids Please feel free to forward to anyone who might be interested. Kind regards, Francesca Giovannetti Communication fellow, EADH ----- First EADH Conference: call for bids 15 Oct 2017 (All day) The EADH Executive Board invites proposals to host the first EADH Conference to be held in 2018. We have decided to establish this conference in order to strengthen the scientific, institutional and cultural relations between the members of the DH communities in Europe and in the Mediterranean area. The EADH Conference will be organised triennially, provided that the annual DH conference takes place outside of Europe in the envisaged year, and will be hosted in any of its European member regions. We are particularly interested in proposals from institutions and regions that -- have recently developed or are developing digital humanities communities and organizations; -- have not previously hosted a main international DH conference. Please note that the local organizers must be members of EADH or of one of the Associate Organizations (currently AIUCD, DHD, and DHN) or Partner Organizations (currently DH Benelux, DH Russia, and the Czech DH Initiative). Organization The scientific organization is required to have a Program Committee (PC) with 10 members and one Chair, appointed by the EADH Executive Committee. At least two EADH Executive Committee members must be in the PC. The local organiser has the right to propose two candidates for the PC. The PC will decide the main theme of the conference, identify and invite keynote speakers, define the details of the Call for Papers, manage the review process, and decide the final conference program. Logistical organization will be the responsibility of a Local Organization committee, whose members and chair are appointed by the Local Organizers (LO). EADH recommends the adoption of the conference management system ConfTool for registering participants and including them in special events such as the banquet, but payments may be processed outside ConfTool by the local organizer if desired. Time Period Dates are decided by the local organizer, in consultation with EADH. It is recommended that the conference takes place in the autumn of 2018. Other large DH-related conferences in Europe should be taken in account when fixing the precise dates. Venue The venue must be an academic or cultural institution in the European area in its broadest sense (including Russia and the Mediterranean countries). We cannot foresee the number of participants as this is the first edition, but the hosting institution should be able to accommodate a minimum of 300 delegates, and an average of three parallel sessions. Bids Bids should contain a preliminary budget and up to two pages describing the motivations and logistical opportunities offered by the proposed venue. Bidders must take into account the EADH diversity statement and outline how they plan to ensure it being respected. The venue for the 2018 conference will be decided by the EADH Executive Committee on the basis of: -- academic and social impact of the conference for the LO -- logistic adequacy of the venue -- overall quality of the proposal Bids should be submitted no later than October 15, 2017. Structure of the conference The Conference should be a 2/3-day event. Workshops and training events can precede the official conference days, depending on the availability of the LO. Presentations will be organized in 90-minute slots. The conference should have two keynote talks of 45 minutes. Type of presentations: -- Full papers for theoretical or highly relevant methodological or technical issues will last 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions. -- Short papers to present research ideas, approaches and projects that are recently started. Short paper presentations are supposed to take 10 minutes time plus 5 minutes for questions. -- Panel or roundtable for one relevant topic discussed under different perspectives by 5/6 presenters will last 90 minutes. -- Posters for early stage or starting projects or technical innovations. One session of the conference is reserved for short (3/5 minutes) poster presentations. Bidders are encouraged to propose different formats and innovative organization of the conference in addition to this general framework. Budget The conference must be financially self-sustaining, but a backstop funding from EADH of up to €5,000 can be discussed. EADH will also provide bursaries for young scholars. The local organizers are expected to set three levels of registration fees: -- for members of EADH, associate organizations, and other constituent organisations of ADHO; -- for non-members; -- for students. It is advisable that the member registration costs do not exceed € 200, in order to ensure maximum inclusivity and to attract early career scholars. Synergies and possible sponsorship In order to strengthen the sustainability of the conference and its impact on European DH and Cultural Heritage scholarly and professional communities, EADH recommends that the LO tries to establish contacts with relevant organizations or infrastructures active at the EU level, in particular DARIAH and CLARIN. Suggested collaborative activities range from hosting of workshops and tutorials, to co-organization of the conference or financial support. Private in-kind and money sponsorship is welcome, provided that any activity from sponsoring organizations is clearly distinct from, and does not influence, the academic program. _______________________________________________ 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 3CD8379CF; Wed, 30 Aug 2017 14:13:14 +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 59E91798F; Wed, 30 Aug 2017 14:13:13 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2A34D792B; Wed, 30 Aug 2017 14:13:09 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170830121310.2A34D792B@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 14:13:09 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.269 pubs: new journal; media research 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: <20170830121313.25546.20314@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 269.

Presentation of the journal English version: http://frenchjournalformediaresearch.com/lodel/ French version: http://frenchjournalformediaresearch.com/lodel/index.php?lang=EN French Journal for Media Research is an electronic bilingual French / English magazine, with an international review committee. It is open access, with regular semi-annual publication and international distribution. The articles are evaluated in double blind by a committee of French and English speaking peers. The journal publishes original works on traditional media and digital media, on issues of mediatisation and mediation (discursive, museum, political, legal, journalistic, religious ...). The journal is open to all and offers several sections: - Thematic file - Varia (articles without thematic file) - Reading notes II. Call for papers for n ° 10/2018 Web 2.0: Places of perception of the transformations of societies Coordination: Léda Mansour, University of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, France This issue hosts special case studies on the web, analyzing and describing unusual and new phenomena in order to grasp the transformations of societies. The choice of the web as a place for the perception of transformations is strongly linked to its capacity to represent a field of research filled with pluralistic, diverse and sometimes opposing sources in sociological terms. Indeed, the literature in information and communication sciences and in the sociology of digital uses has highlighted one of the novelties of the Internet and subsequently of the interactive web: the creation of a space of expression belonging to all different voices without any restriction, hence creating an effect of democracy (Cardon D., 2010). If previously, the emphasis on the web was on co-presence, of supposedly different practices and discourses (institutional vs. non-institutional discourse, official and legitimate speech vs. unrecognized public speech), we can now shift our attention to a dilution of these distinctions, and cease looking at what is called "public opinion online" or "popular online culture", in addition to "online public space", but rather on the encompassing - though general - name of "digital cultures" (Rinck F. & Mansour L. 2013 & Mansour L. 2016). Thus, this issue focuses on words and uses in the web, starting from the absence of any leveling or, at the very least, the Goffmanian idea of bringing together supposedly different universes and discourses, the web being the space for collective discussions in particular - whether popular, elite, public, private, visible or not, distributed and / or fragmented (Goffman E., 1974 & 1963). The numerous digital experiences of Internet users, such as the creation of an interactive blog, the use of social networks or the creation of a collective work, allow us to think of the web as a single social tissue including a plurality and not the other way around, that is, the leveling and difference that would be the pillars of the web. For this reason, we are interested in this issue in experiences and special cases on the web. Our interest in particular cases goes hand in hand with a preference for rare, unusual and new phenomena. The study of singular cases makes it possible to perceive and analyze the micro-transformations of societies (Ginzburg C., 1976 & 1989). Micro-transformations can account for the continuous movement of change, avoiding thinking spatially in "stops", "moments", "stages", "events" or in a series of events often analyzed in terms of their regularity or of their causality (such events, such cases produce a particular type of change where everything seems already given, foreseen). We encourage studies that identify and describe new and exceptional uses, words and perspectives on standards, frequencies, and the usual (Bergson H., 1938 & 1941). These transformations operate in societies. Thus, the notion of "context" reflects the choice of society studied, without contextualization encroaching on the analysis itself - the description of the context of a particular society could, sometimes and unfavorably, bring to relativist interpretations. In the web, the places of the perceived micro-transformations of this or that society are varied and infinite: · analysis of one or more Facebook pages, · analysis of a single hashtag, many hashtags in a particular setting, · the naming of one or more hypertext links in a specific context, · study of one or more Stories on Snapchat and elsewhere, · study of a collective creation on Fanfiction and elsewhere, · analysis of chat room, · analysis of one or more dating sites, · study of micro phenomena inside a site or blogs of any type, · study of the rubrics in a site, comments and / or recommendations in specific sites, · study of specific practices in Twitter or any other site, blog, social network and forum of discussion and creation · ... Themes are freely varied; all approaches in the Humanities and Social Sciences are welcome. References: Bergson Henri, 1938 (1911), « La perception du changement » in La pensée et le mouvant.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 15:44:48 +0200 From: Frederike Neuber Subject: Q: Structured technical documentation of DH projects Dear Humanists, I am interested in practical and sustainable solutions for the internal technical documentation of digital humanities projects as used by DH centers and working groups. The type of documentation I am referring to is not intended for the public, but would rather serve to optimize the internal workflow of a working group in the long term. When ongoing and terminated projects exceed a certain number, it becomes difficult to keep track on used technologies/applications/servers, data formats, relevant links (website, GitHub repo, etc.), responsible persons and their contact details, and so on. It therefore might be useful to have a single “place” where some key information about all projects (ongoing and terminated) is captured and stored. The information should be structured to allow easy comparison of fields as well as some basic structuring of information (such as order according to and filter for fields). Furthermore it should be in a sustainable format (e.g. XML) or at least be exportable to such. Finally, in order to be accepted and used by the project team, I think the documentation system needs to be easy to use. My questions to you are: 1. Do you have any schema that could serve as an example which information might be relevant to capture for an internal technical documentation? 2. Which software/application/technology/format are you using to document technical key information about projects as mentioned above in a structured and sustainable way?

This database dramatically increases the functionality of our data. Search results—and the entire database—can be exported in a plaintext file. We have added substantially more sources with more on the horizon. You can search by title, as well as stackable filters: 1. Author 2. Location 3. Language 4. Publisher 5. Field 6. Time period We have increased our "fields" to encompass many of the topics that are of interest to book historians and bibliographers. The current list includes: archives, authorship, book arts, book trades, critical race studies, feminist editing and textual studies, genre studies, LGBT+ and sexuality, libraries and librarians, manuscript and letters, professional writing and publication, reading, reception histories, scribes and scribal publications, and theoretical approaches. The site's address is the same at www.womensbookhistory.org. You can follow the link on the "Bibliography" tab to the new database. There is a help document to aid in searches. The framework for this project was built through a generous grant from the Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture. Our biggest thanks go to Laura Mandell, director of the IDHMC, and our web designer Bryan Tarpley. We hope this resource will continue to be of use to the community, and we look forward to your comments and feedback.

Kind regards, Marinella --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 30 Aug 2017 20:28:45 +0000 From: Leonardo Impett Subject: Re: 31.270 combinatorics? In-Reply-To: <20170830133140.DEAA67713@digitalhumanities.org> Dear Prof. McCarty, I studied elements of combinatorics under Bernard Moret (recently retired, but perfectly contactable), a professor of computational biology and (especially graph-based) algorithm theory at the EPFL. He would often use social or historical examples as instances of combinatorics: (especially randomized) graph-theoretical and algorithmic results. Computer-science textbooks also often do this, with social or organisational-logistical networks serving as common examples (distributing toys to children, and so on) - the difference to Moret's point of view was that the combinatorial result could somehow inform our understanding of the original example. I can think of two or three examples - but surely the most memorable is the 'Stable Marriage' problem (a well-studied combinatorial problem, see here ). The problem is to pair off a set of men and a set of women, such that there are no 'unstable' pairs - that is to say, where woman A prefers man B to man A, and man B prefers woman A to woman B (i.e. the A-A and B-B pairs would be broken by some presumed philandering). Note that there doesn't have to be a universal definition of 'desirability' here - each person (male and female) has a list, ordered by preference, of the members of the opposite sex, and their task is to end up with the highest-ranked place on their own (personal) list. In general, several such stable matchings exist. The classical algorithm to solve this is for the men to do all the proposing, and the women to accept and reject. If a woman were to get a better offer at a later time, she ditches her previous suitor - men, on the other hand, all start by asking the most desirable girls and work their way down as they get rejected. *"Readers will recognize this algorithm as the prevailing social custom in Western civilization for many centuries (up to the 19th century and even later): women could not make a move of their own (although they could certainly drop hints!), but had to wait on the pleasure of men to declare themselves. Unsurprisingly, like much about human civilizations, this proposal algorithm is optimal for men; it is also pessimal for women.*" (from the typed lecture notes - http://lcbb.epfl.ch/algs16/notes/notes-04-05.pdf ). In other words: there are many possible stable matchings, but this classical algorithm (which to us resembles a debutante's ball) gives the most male-optimal, and also the most female-pessimal, matching from this set of possible solutions. It's absolutely not intuitively obvious, from how the problem is set up (men doing the proposing, women being able to accept a better offer later), that the resulting outcome is skewed in favour of men - never mind that it is also the best possible result for men and the worst possible result for women. And yet the proof is mathematically quite simple, a very good instance of combinatorial calculations on a bipartite graph, and tells us something quite important about the situation itself. Another one that comes to mind is whether a King should let his advisers talk to each other for good advice, for instance. They shouldn't: even if each of them makes a better decision because of the greater evidence, overall the decision will be worse.

Ess" Subject: pens, pencils, styli? Dear Humanists, It has gradually come to my lagging attention that pens, pencils, and/or styli seem to be making a bit of comeback? Roughly: Microsoft introduced a Surface Pen in 2012, which interacts with various capabilities in the 8.1 and the most recent 10 OS; Apple introduced its Pencil for the iPad in 2015 - one that works with Microsoft apps as well as Adobe and others; Microsoft; and Lenovo offers a pen technology (either in Android or Windows OS) with one of its recent devices - http://www3.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/android-tablets/yoga-book-series/Lenovo-Yoga-Book/p/ZZITZTOYB1F (Thanks to Rich Ling for the last tip.) I'm also aware of a growing body of research on handwriting vis-a-vis keyboarding that appears to show that engaging the body via hand and pen, in contrast with solely using a keyboard, entails greater brain activity and thereby greater cognitive benefits, including greater ability to discern and articulate complex conceptual relationships, along with greater recall. (E.g.: A. van der Meer, F.R. van der Weel, Only Three Fingers Write, but the Whole Brain Works: A High-Density EEG Study Showing Advantages of Drawing Over Typing for Learning. Front. Psychol., 09 May 2017. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00706) My resulting questions: 1) are you aware of any additional research along these lines, i.e., attending to the affordances and potentials of both handwriting and keyboarding vis-a-vis cognitive benefits - especially with a view towards pedagogy, i.e., how we should teach writing, most especially writing for research and publication? 2) Any ideas of what research and/or other interests, etc. might have led Apple, Microsoft, and Lenovo to re-introduce pens and styli - apart from the death of Steve Jobs, who notoriously hated these? (I mean this respectfully.) Please reply off-list. I'll happily compile a bibliography and resource list for distribution to the list in turn.

The major premise of the Scientiae Conference series is that knowledge during the early modern period was pre-disciplinary, involving complex mixtures of theories, practices and objects, which had yet to be separated into their modern ‘scientific’ configurations. Although centred on attempts to understand and control the natural world, Scientiae addresses natural philosophy, natural history, and the *scientiae mixtae* within a wide range of related fields, including but not restricted to Biblical exegesis, medicine, artisan practice and theory, logic, humanism, alchemy, magic, witchcraft, demonology, divinatory practices, astronomy, astrology, music, antiquarianism, experimentation and commerce. The conference and the sessions are interdisciplinary and intended to foster debate, one of Scientiae’s defining values. While the Programme Committee welcomes proposals for 20-25 minute papers from any disciplinary perspective, we would like to encourage submissions that seek to examine modes of early modern knowledge formation and application that cross traditional national, geographic, linguistic or intellectual borders. For 2018, we would also like to invite proposals for a series of special 2-hour interdisciplinary panels. These should be organised by theme and include three speakers and a commentator who treat the issue from different disciplinary perspectives. The Program Committee welcomes sessions that present the scholarship of members at various stages of their careers. However, graduate student speakers must be advanced students who have completed coursework, examinations, and much of their dissertation research, and expect to defend their dissertations in the next two years. Individual papers should include a 250-word abstract and a 1-page CV. Panel proposals should consists of a single 250-word description of the theme under discussion, and three 100-word outlines of how each paper will contribute to this theme, and from what discipline/angle.

The Rutgers-Camden Archive of Digital Ephemera (R-CADE) provides scholars and artists the opportunity to do hands-on work with digital ephemera. Panels are provided with funds (up to $1,000) to purchase hardware, software, or any other resources necessary to complete research or creative activity. *2018 TOPIC: TECHNIQUE* Grant Wythoff, the 2018 R-CADE Curator and Keynote Speaker, invites panel proposals that take up the idea of technique. While many of us increasingly use the same devices, designed and manufactured by the same companies, we all have distinctly unique routines or rituals when it comes to using them. How do we analyze, write about, or celebrate the performance of an individual user? What do these techniques reveal about the values of a digital culture, or its beliefs about how complex technologies actually work? *Panel proposals are due November 10, 2017* http://rcade.camden.rutgers.edu/2018symposium.html Please direct any questions to: grant.wythoff@gmail.com -- Grant Wythoff Visiting Fellow Center for Humanities and Information Pennsylvania State University http://wythoff.net/ @gwijthoff _______________________________________________ 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 C9BF479E9; Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:51:58 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D3F577A89; Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:51:56 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id BB80676F4; Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:51:52 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170902075152.BB80676F4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:51:52 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.277 teaching materials for Women Writers in Review?

WWiR (http://wwp.neu.edu/review/) is an open-access collection of around 600 reviews, publication notices, and other documents that respond or relate to texts by the authors in Women Writers Online. We’re now inviting expressions of interest for pedagogical development consultants, who would work with us to create assignments that use WWiR, to be published on the WWP’s sites. Collaborators would have our support in creating assignments and activities and would also be named as pedagogical development consultants for the WWP. For more details on this program and to read some assignments from our first cohort of teaching partners, please see: http://wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo/teaching/pedagogical-dev.html For a detailed and thoughtful discussion of one WWiR-based assignment sequence, written by Professor Jason Payton of Sam Houston State University, please see: http://wwp.neu.edu/wwo/teaching/reports/payton_wwir-tagging.html We are also inviting responses from those who would like to develop—or who already have!—assignments and activities involving Women Writers Online (http://wwp.neu.edu/wwo) for publication on our site. If you don’t have institutional access to WWO and would like to set up a trial (for either yourself or your institution), please contact us. More details on WWO licensing and trials are here: http://wwp.neu.edu/wwo/license/ If you’re interested in getting involved with this program, please email wwp@neu.edu with a brief expression of interest—just a short paragraph on the teaching you’ll be doing in fall 2017 or spring 2018 and some initial thoughts on how you’d like to use the WWiR or WWO collections. The deadline for submissions will be October 15, 2017. If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. All my best, Sarah Sarah Connell Assistant Director, Women Writers Project Northeastern University 617-373-3219 _______________________________________________ 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 637917A8C; Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:58:05 +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 8E02076F4; Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:58:04 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 577B276F4; Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:58:01 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170902075801.577B276F4@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Sat, 2 Sep 2017 09:58:01 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.278 events: questioning models; information retrieval; digital frontiers 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: <20170902075805.29918.84898@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 278.

The event aims at exploring intersectional approaches on textual scholarship and Digital Humanities theories, practices, and tools. A session will be dedicated to Italian and German women writers during the Renaissance. This specific case study is part of a project funded by NetEx (Network and Exchange funding programme, University of Cologne). We welcome proposals in any area of scholarship, that pay specific attention to intersectionality, and that employ digital and collaborative approaches to the study or the editing of marginalised subjectivities and their digital modelling and representations. We encourage the submission of projects presentations at an advanced stage that investigate how digital technologies can re/produce, enable or restrict the construction of identities (e.g. in racialised and gendered terms). Researchers of all levels, including students and professional practitioners, are welcome. We expect a diverse audience of textual scholars, historians, information scientists, social scientists, digital humanists, graduate students and interested members of the public. The communication language of the symposium will be English, but we are accepting proposals and papers in English, Italian and German.

Could you please circulate to your colleagues? Melissa ---- Hello We would like to invite you to take part in a free event exploring the use of FAIR data principles within UK academic research on 13th Sept in London or 26th Sept in Newcastle. The event is part of the Jisc ‘FAIR in Practice’ project, which is exploring questions around how data is used in research and to what extent it is ‘FAIR’ (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Re-usable).The idea that research outputs should be FAIR is emerging to enhance effective data management and sharing. How it is implemented may have a direct impact on research policies and systems. This is an opportunity to influence how these high level aims are implemented in practice. Background to the work is described in a blog post by Bas Cordewener, Project Manager for FAIR in Practice at Jisc. https://researchdata.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2017/06/02/fair-in-practice/ The focus groups will help provide a view of the current state of FAIR data, identify opportunities and allow the exchange of views on the FAIR principles with colleagues.

Digital Approaches to the History of Science: two workshops http://blogs.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/digital/2017/07/19/digital-approaches-to-the-history-of-science-two-workshops/ This pair of one-day workshops will showcase and explore some of the work currently being done at the intersection of digital scholarship and the history of science. Visualising networks of correspondence, mapping intellectual geographies, mining textual corpora: many modes of digital scholarship have special relevance to the problems and methods of the history of science, and the last few years have seen the launch of a number of new platforms and projects in this area. With contributions from projects around the UK, these two workshops will be an opportunity to share ideas, to reflect on what is being achieved and to consider what might be done next.

Mandich, Iza Romanowska, Xavier Rubio-Campillo --- Call for papers, session at Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference, Edinburgh 12-14 April 2018: Formal Approaches to Complexity in Roman Archaeology: Exploring Complex Systems and Understanding Change  Part 1: Exploring Complex Systems Part 2: Understanding Change   Session Organisers: Tom Brughmans (University of Oxford) - John W. Hanson (University of Colorado) - Matthew J. Mandich (University of Leicester) - Iza Romanowska (Barcelona Supercomputing Center) - Xavier Rubio-Campillo (University of Edinburgh)                      In recent years archaeologists have increasingly employed innovative approaches used for the study of complex systems to better interpret and model the social, political, and economic structures and interactions of past societies. However, for the majority of Roman archaeologists these approaches remain elusive as a comprehensive review and evaluation is lacking, especially regarding their application in Roman archaeology.  In brief, a complex system is made up of many interacting parts (‘components’ or ‘agents’) which form a whole that is more than the sum of its parts – i.e. the interactions of these parts lead to emergent behaviors or outcomes that cannot be (easily) predicted by examining the parts individually. While such systems are characterized by their unpredictable, adaptive, and/or non-linear nature, they are (often) self-organising and governed by observable rules that can be analysed via various methods. For example, many past phenomena, such as urbanism or the functioning of the Roman economy, are complex systems composed of multiple interacting elements and driven by the diverse processes acting upon individuals inhabiting the ancient world. Thus, they can be explored using the approaches and methods of complexity science. The study of complex systems has primarily been undertaken in contemporary settings, in disciplines such as physics, ecology, medicine, and economics. Yet, as the complex nature of ancient civilizations and their similarity to present-day  systems is being steadily realized through ongoing analysis, survey, and excavation, archaeologists have now begun to use methods such as scaling studies (e.g. settlement scaling theory), agent-based modeling, and network analyses to approach this complexity. Since these methodologies are designed to examine the interactions and feedback between components within complex systems empirically, they can provide new ways of looking at old data and old problems to supply novel conclusions. However, such methods have only been applied sporadically in ancient settings, and even less so in a Roman context or using Roman archaeological data.  Thus, in this two part session we aim to bring these methods, and the Roman archaeologists using them, together by offering a critical review of the theoretical and empirical developments within the study of past complex systems and their interplay with existing ideas, before investigating how we might capitalize on the new opportunities afforded by them in the future. Part I of this session, ‘exploring complex systems’, is concerned with examining and unraveling the underlying structures present in the archaeological record using the formal tools provided by the complex systems framework. Part II, ‘understanding change’, will focus on applications exploring the dynamics of change that generated the patterns observed in existing evidence. In particular, we invite contributions using formal methods including computational modelling and simulation, GIS, and network analyses, as well as diverse theoretical approaches to better understand ancient complex systems.  --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 10:57:50 +0200 From: Franz Fischer Subject: Cologne Autumn School and Expert Workshop: „Encoding Inscriptions, Papyri, Coins & Seals“ In-Reply-To: Dear classicists, From 9 to 13 October 2017 the University of Cologne is hosting an Epidoc Autumn school in combination with an expert workshop on digital sigillography.

Digital humanities is a new and emerging field, which brings together humanities scholars, social scientists and computer and information scientists to work on agendas of both fundamental and applied research. 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.

Le foucaldien is a spin-off from the foucaultblog, which was founded by a group of humanities scholars at the University of Zurich in 2013. The motives for launching the journal were to further professionalize the publication process, make the contributions digitally sustainable, and broaden the scope. As we migrated several research papers from the foucaultblog, Le foucaldien was able to start with thirty published articles as well as two completed and two ongoing special issues. Hence 2017 will already be the third volume of the journal. Le foucaldien publishes interdisciplinary research along the lines of the philosopher and historian Michel Foucault (1926–1984) in English, German, and French. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy credits Foucault with being "the author most frequently cited in the humanities" at the beginning of the 21st century, but his concepts are challenged in emerging fields such as media studies, digital humanities, post-colonialism, new materialism, and science and technology studies. Hence the main focus of Le foucaldien lies on updating and operationalizing Foucauldian approaches in preferably plain language. The journal's publisher, the Open Library of Humanities (OLH), is a not-for-profit charity financed by an international consortium of libraries. Due to its non-commercial business model, the OLH does not charge any author fees. Le foucaldien's articles are double-blind peer reviewed, published under a cc-by open access license, indexed in all major databases, and archived long-term in HTML, PDF, and XML. The journal is edited by Maurice Erb, Simon Ganahl, and Patrick Kilian, who are assisted by Oriane Petteni and supported by an editorial board of highly renowned scholars. For details on the submission process, please visit Le foucaldien's website: https://foucaldien.net/about/submissions/. The foucaultblog (http://www.fsw.uzh.ch/foucaultblog/) will of course continue to exist, but unlike our established practice, we won't publish extensive research papers and special issues any longer. On the one hand, the foucaultblog will regularly post announcements around the activities of Le foucaldien and the Foucauldian community in general; and on the other hand, we will go on to publish shorter essays, interventions, and commentaries by external authors. While Le foucaldien is positioned as a high-quality journal for substantial research along Foucauldian lines, the foucaultblog is an explicitly open platform unfolding a digital space for more experimental and subjective forms of writing. --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 08:51:05 +0000 From: David Berry Subject: Book launch: Digital humanities Dear colleagues, you are all invited to: Norwegian book launch of “Digital Humanities” Thursday 14 September, 18.00 Litteraturhuset (Oslo) Free entrance, refreshments will be served Please register your attendance at https://www.facebook.com/events/212019339331919/ David M.

The content of both units, created by Ruben Verborgh (https://ruben.verborgh.org) and myself can be reproduced, published, or otherwise used freely. The content of this course focuses specifically on library metadata but the learning outcomes are transposable to the digital humanities and those interested in the possibilities and limits of Linked Data. Part 1: Introduction to Semantic Web and Linked Data provides a global introduction to the topic. With the help of an overview of different data models, the possibilities and limits of RDF are explained. Toward the end, a specific focus on data quality helps to underline some of the fundamental challenges to implementing Linked Data in libraries. Part 2: Advanced course on applications, projects, and skills related to Linked Data explores more advanced aspects of Linked Data. Through a mix of theory and practice, you’ll learn all about metadata cleaning, reconciliation and enriching. The final modules focus on more conceptual aspects surrounding data architecture with REST and why decentralisation and federation are important for the future. Both modules are accessible as HTML slides on http://course.freeyourmetadata.org/. All of the content will be made available through Github, so feel free to contact me if you want to re-use or download the content. Kind regards, Seth van Hooland Université libre de Bruxelles http://homepages.ulb.ac.be/~svhoolan/ https://twitter.com/sethvanhooland ps: Navigation guide: the learning materials are embedded in HTML in order to bring you an intuitive approach across browsers and devices. When clicking on the link to Part 1 or Part 2, you’ll be directed to the first module. In the right hand side, you’ll see a navigation bar allowing you to jump from one module to another.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 07:32:16 +0000 From: Christian-Emil Smith Ore Subject: Digital Humanities the Nordic and Baltic countries: DHN 2019: Call for Hosts In-Reply-To: <1504855871680.99303@iln.uio.no> Dear all interested in Digital Humanities (DH) in the Nordic and Baltic countries, With the third DHN conference being prepared for 7-9 March 2018 in Helsink, http://dig-hum-nord.eu/dhn-2018i, the Board would like to invite DHN members and others interested in DH to submit proposals for hosting the 2019 conference. The DHN conferences in Oslo 2016 and Gothenburg 2017 were great successes and the forthcoming one in Helsinki promises to be just as stimulating and enjoyable. It is anticipated that the 4th annual DHN conference will be held around the same dates in 2019 as the previous conferences (i.e. mid-March). The conference is expected to be held in one of the Nordic or Baltic countries. The criteria for proposing a location/institution to host the conference are: 1. A suitable and accessible location, including a venue with a lecture hall big enough to seat all conference participants for keynote talks and the Annual General Meeting (AGM), as well as meeting spaces and smaller rooms for individual sessions and workshops. As a rough guide: there were approximately 200 participants and 3-5 parallel sessions in the 2016 and 2017 conferences in Oslo and Gothenburg. High-speed Internet access, AV equipment, adequate catering facilities and a variety of accommodation for conference delegates are other important requirements. It is recommended to have a "compact" venue due to the parallel sessions. 2. Possible sources of funding to cover the costs of organization: costs will typically include renting of conference venue, salary for part-time conference organizer and administration of registration. Costs may be kept down by using conference facilities at a university campus. 3. Sufficient human resources to form an organizing committee and run the conference: we recommend a programme committee with approximately 10 members and a separate local organizing committee of 5-10 persons. On the basis of experiences from previous conferences, one should allocate a minimum of 4 person-months for the practical organization of the conference and a number of student helpers during the conference. The resources described above are typical for any conference. DHN has no central funds available to cover the costs of organizing the conference. However, the DHN Board and the 2017 conference organizing committee will be on hand to advise as necessary on matters related to the organization of the conference. The conference theme and programme will be decided by the Programme Committee, which will be appointed by the Board in collaboration with the local organizers. Proposals should include a rough budget and potential sources of funding, a description of the venue, and notes regarding the human resources available. Proposals and inquiries should be sent to the chair of DHN, Christian-Emil Ore: c.e.s.ore@iln.uio.no. Deadline for proposals: November 15, 2017. This text can also be found at http://dig-hum-nord.eu/dhn2019/. With best wishes, on behalf of the DHN Board Christian-Emil Ore Chair _______________________________________________ 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 4BF787B37; Fri, 8 Sep 2017 17:47:50 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 48CD07B0D; Fri, 8 Sep 2017 17:47:49 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id EF4557B24; Fri, 8 Sep 2017 17:47:45 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170908154745.EF4557B24@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 17:47:45 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.289 pubs: She Ji; OPERAS design study 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: <20170908154749.24819.11606@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 289.

This event is funded by DARIAH/Humanities at Scale and will take place from November 30th - December 1st in Berlin, Germany. This Masterclass will provide the background (theoretically and methodologically) for individuals or small teams (two people) to develop a #dariahTeach Course (5 or 10 ECTS) or Workshop (a course offering not pegged to specific ECTS). Issues of online learning and open-source educational resources will also be discussed. The goal of this Masterclass is to support educators who wish to publish peer reviewed educational material in the #dariahTeach platform. For more information please visit the An Foras Feasa website. PARTICIPATION This Masterclass is aimed at individuals who have an active and/or demonstrable interest in developing open source, online teaching materials for the digital arts and humanities specifically for the #dariahTeach platform. Submissions are especially encouraged from early career researchers who have developed and delivered digital arts/humanities modules in their institutions, from experienced lecturers who have not had the opportunity of delivering online teaching materials, and from those who have developed F2F workshops and would like to reconceive them for online delivery. It is expected that successful participants will have already taught the proposed course/workshop F2F. The Masterclass will be limited to 12 participants. The event is open to European and international applicants.

In the case of cultural institutions, digital applications are used in all key areas of operation, from documenting, interpreting and exhibiting the collections to communicating with diverse audience groups. The communication of collections information in digital form, whether an online catalogue, mobile application, museum interactive or social media exchange, increasingly affects our cultural encounters and shapes our perception of cultural organizations. Although cultural and higher education institutions around the world are heavily investing on digitization and working to make their collections available online, we still know very little about who uses digital collections, how they interact with the associated data, and what the impacts of these digital resources are. The issue seeks to address this gap by bringing together interested parties from a range of disciplines (e.g. digital heritage, museology, information studies, digital humanities), practices and sectors to discuss the latest developments on evaluating the use of cultural digital resources. Topics and Themes The issue will appeal to academics and practitioners working in a range of disciplines: cultural heritage workers, arts professionals and scholars interested in issues relating to digital resources and their impact upon curation, education, engagement and outreach. We invite submissions of both theoretical and practical approaches, efforts and trends in this emergent field presenting innovative research. Topics and issues to be addressed include but are not limited to: * Who uses digital cultural resources, where, and how these resources changed the consolidated working practice * Addressing diverse users' needs and expectations (i.e. from schoolchildren and families to students and researchers) * Assessing impact, use and value of digital cultural resources (methodologies, approaches and issues) * Ways of recording and assessing impact and value * Models of access to digital collections * Evaluating participatory models of work in digital cultural heritage (crowdsourcing, citizen science, co-creation, co-curation) * Moving from impact to value when assessing digital resources * Use of evaluation data in the curation of digital collections * Integrating evaluation when working with communities in digital cultural heritage * Adapting old and testing new innovative methods when evaluating quality, use and effectiveness of digital cultural resources * User studies * Metrics, webmetrics, infometrics and usage statistics * Evaluating emotional impact in digital heritage * Research on impact of social media on the usage of digital cultural resources Organizers The idea for this special issue arose from the activities of the Scottish Network on Digital Cultural Resources Evaluation (ScotDigiCH) (scotdigich.wordpress.com/), funded by The Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2015-2016, and particularly from the discussions and papers presented at the International Symposium on Evaluating Digital Cultural Resources (EDCR2016) which took place in Glasgow in December 2016 (scotdigich.wordpress.com/events/symposium/). ScotDigiCH is coordinated by Information Studies at the University of Glasgow in collaboration with The Hunterian at the University of Glasgow, Glasgow Life Museums, the Moving Image Archive of the National Library of Scotland and the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Strathclyde. This focused issue arises from the work of ScotDigiCH but invites submissions from all researchers and cultural heritage practitioners working in this area. Paper Submission Papers submitted to this special issue for possible publication must be original and must not be under consideration for publication in any other journal or conference.

We also did a set of conversations here at ASU recently about research/design spaces. I'm currently finish up my book mss (due Oct 1) so don't have time to dig up all of the documentation. But you can search the Claremont DH website for the write ups of some of the site visits and I can share the larger set of files with you after Oct 1 if you'll just ping me.

The launch was the culmination of many months of construction in the library to accommodate the Library Systems Unit, an open commons space, as well as private office spaces for the Humanities Computing Media Centre--including the Internet Shakespeare Editions--and the Electronic Textual Cultures Lab. I wasn’t privy to the original planning for the space, but I know it grew out of a strong collaboration and leadership among libraries, faculty, and staff to build spaces where it would be easier for us all to work together. Each unit operates separately, but it has been wonderful for me as Digital Scholarship Librarian to simply walk over to our colleagues in the ETCL and HCMC to talk about potential collaborations and to see what is happening in our field. The ETCL just hosted Øyvind Eide, and one of his presentations was held in the library’s digital scholarship commons lecture space. It was a great opportunity to bring in archivists, librarians, and the wider community to hear about the great work happening here and around the world. The library has starting running a series of workshops on 3D modeling, 3D printing, Twine, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi that have been very popular during the summer, so we expect even greater crowds during the term. You can see the library’s write up on the space at: http://www.uvic.ca/library/locations/home/dsc/index.php. On the library side of things, Lisa Goddard, Associate University Librarian, Digital Scholarship & Strategy was hired in 2014, and the University Librarian, Jonathan Bengtson has been committed to finding opportunities expanding the library’s goal of helping students achieve digital information fluency since being hired in 2012. I don’t want to speak for everyone, but I think it has been a great opportunity for librarians and archivists to work closely with its colleagues in contiguous spaces dedicated to our respective goals. As you start your planning, I would recommend thinking about the library as well as present and future collaborators who might be interested in working together. Feel free to write or call if you have questions about the planning process. J.

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

In-Reply-To: <20170911175234.CDFEF7BD6@digitalhumanities.org> I'm puzzled why you'd need a Mac-only version of library software (or a Windows or Linux version for that matter). Surely you'd want software that worked over the Web and hence was platform-agnostic, except for the server. Running a Linux or Windows version on the server wouldn't preclude accessing it via a Mac.

It is also experimental in understanding online curriculum development as design thinking. The goal is to provide a flexible offering that can be integrated into diverse teaching and learning situations: both for teachers in the classroom, as well as for students who are not at institutions which offer digital humanities as a subject area. The platform currently hosts five courses and two workshops. Courses are pegged to 5 to 10 ECTS while workshops are shorter, developed as short-term, focused introductions to a topic, method, or approach. The courses currently available are: Introduction to Digital Humanities Text Encoding and the TEI Multimodal Literacies Sound Studies Digitizing Dictionaries And the workshops are: Spatial Image Analytics An introduction to Conceptual Modeling Visit the #dariahTeach learning platform and our courses, contact us and give us feedback! We would also encourage you to become part of our community and contributing to the platform either at your own pace or by taking advantage of the new Masterclass on Creating Open Educational Resources for #dariahTeach! _______________________________________________ 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 3818F7C4B; Tue, 12 Sep 2017 19:42:28 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 649E97C40; Tue, 12 Sep 2017 19:42:27 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2BE357C17; Tue, 12 Sep 2017 19:42:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170912174224.2BE357C17@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 19:42:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.302 events: a corpus and usage-based approach to Ancient Greek 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: <20170912174227.22075.46300@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 302.

The deadline for abstracts is October 1, 2017. Best wishes, Robert Crellin, Dariya Rafiyenko, Ilze Rumniece, *** A corpus and usage-based approach to Ancient Greek: from the Archaic period until the Koiné (Riga, University of Latvia, April 12-14, 2018) http://rafiyenko.info/riga2018/ Invited speakers (alphabetically): * Klaas Bentein (Ghent University) * Guiseppe Celano (Leipzig University) * James Clackson (University of Cambridge) * José Luis García Ramón (Center for Hellenic Studies, Washington, Harvard University) * Chiara Gianollo (University of Bologna) * Dag Haug (University of Oslo) * Geoffrey Horrocks (University of Cambrigde) * Daniel Kölligan (University of Cologne) * Martti Leiwo, Sonja Dahlgren & Marja Vierros (University of Helsinki) * Amalia Moser (University of Athens) * Paul Widmer & Florian Sommer (University of Zürich) It has been a long standing tradition in linguistics since de Saussure to distinguish between langue and parole. The former was considered to represent a self-sufficient system consisting of well-defined and distinct categories and sharp constraints that interact at different levels of language such as morphology, syntax or lexicon to produce grammatical utterances. For example, mainstream generative approach inherited this spirit of thinking from the earlier structuralists. This understanding of language consequently shapes the way the argumentation and analysis is carried out. The evidence must either corroborate the analysis or be assigned a different category. Fuzzy boundaries – a phenomenon widely discussed in the literature (inter alia, Ungerer & Schmid 1999: 23) – are not easily dealt with here, exactly as ongoing change (cf. Hopper (1987)’s “Emergent Grammar”) as well as aspects of actual usage. This approach has been challenged by the usage-based approach to linguistics (Bybee 2010) in which parole becomes the subject of investigation as it is precisely the usage that shapes the linguistic structure. The latter is, in turn, considered to be constrained by general cognitive processes such as automatization, analogy or categorization as well as sociolinguistic factors. Language dynamics as observed from synchronic and/or diachronic corpus data provides here an important piece of evidence, since language development must be crucially shaped by language usage. Since linguistic experiments or grammaticality judgments are not available to linguists working on Ancient Greek the research on it has been inevitably corpus-driven and crucially based on language use (and, e.g., not on constructed examples). Moreover, it is well-known in Classical Philology that different authors represent sometimes not only different dialects (as, for example, Herodotus with his Ionic based variety) but also different styles which orient themselves onto different stages of language development. The strong urge towards imitation of the previous literary tradition which was perceived as a model is a serious confounding factor for the linguistic research. For example, Plutarch – even though in principle belonging to the Roman period – imitates a number of features from previous periods. Furthermore, other factors may also obscure the study as, for example, the phenomenon of text reuse in the historiographical tradition where texts of earlier authors were repeated ly reused as sources and passages from them â-- sometimes with, sometimes without changes --“ were integrated into later works. This dialectally and socially based variation creates a serious confusion when analysing Ancient Greek from a grammarian’s perspective. It seems, however, possible to overcome the potential inconsistency of the data with which we are confronted by exploiting tools and methods from usage-based approaches such as measuring statistically significant effects of a particular pattern for a particular period as opposed to other patterns and periods. This can allow us to gloss over the particular characteristics of the writings of individual authors, while still being able to establish trends that are typical for a particular period of Ancient Greek. This kind of approach has been successfully adopted in, for example, Bentein (2016) and Crellin (2012) in relation to diachronic trends in the Greek verb. While unfortunately there is no linguistically oriented corpus of Ancient Greek for all its periods there are a number of linguistic small corpora focusing on particular authors or periods available that may successfully be used by linguists such as the collection of (automatically) annotated Ancient Greek corpora at INESS http://clarino.uib.no/iness/page / Ancient Greek prepared by different projects/scholars such as the PROIEL project http://www.hf.uio.no/ifikk/english/research/projects/proiel/ at U Oslo or Perseus Project http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/ at U Buffalo and U Leipzig. Of course, there is the largest and almost exhaustive corpus of Ancient Greek Thesaurus Linguae Graecae http://stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/Iris/inst/csearch.jsp but, unfortunately, it is not open-access and it is not tagged for linguistic purposes. The aim of this conference is to gather researchers that exploit statistical and corpus obtained data for their analyses and claims. Importantly, we do not conceive of corpus data as data that are obtained by some technical, “automated” tool, we are equally interested in the research based on manually collected samples or databases that may be used to identify specific trends which in turn are integrated into the analysis. This is all the more important since it is currently not always an easy task for a linguist or philologist to obtain corpus data. Moreover, in this workshop, we would like to focus on usage-based research into Ancient Greek while methodological and technical aspects are subordinate at this conference. We call for submissions on any aspect of Ancient Greek (from the Homeric period until the Koiné) – including not only grammarians’ but also sociolinguistic and variational studies – that are based on corpus or statistical data.

Our main studio space (as we called it) was thus very difficult for folks outside the working group to access, but it was otherwise serviceable, with workstations, windows, and an alcove where we kept our reference books and documents. We worked happily in this space for a long time, but wished for greater accessibility and exposure. Fast forward to January 2017 and the opening of our new CDH, as part a planned renovation and refurbishment of our Library's fourth floor, which now houses Special Collections and Archives and the CDH. We share a Digitization Suite and a Meeting Room (with white board, digital projector, computer, etc), as well as access to a large open space (wired) for symposia and booked classes. The CDH also has its own dedicated room with 6 workstations (3 MAC, 3 PC), a small round table for small team meetings, a wall of shelving for our own material collections, two display cases, and an alcove for storage. One flight below us is the Library IT "Maker Space" for faculty projects, so our location could not be better. The furniture we cobbled together over the years from cast-offs, and brought with us. The computers came from CDH members' funding or are cast-offs from the English Department. The physical space itself, however, is what's crucial. The location puts the CDH and its activities at the heart of the university and its activities. We are now able to collaborate easily with both the folks and the material collections in Spec Coll, and with the folks and other librarians in the Maker Space. We are visible, accessible, invitational, as a result of our location, and already interest and traffic have increased. We've introduced a Tuesday Drop In as a result. And this semester, at least three courses in my department are bringing students to work with Special Collections material with the object of curating it in digital exhibits of various kinds. So: I echo Matt when he says, keep the library in mind when you think about your location. We have been fortunate in that the Chief Librarian worked tirelessly with us, our Dean, and upper admin, to bring our physical location in the library about. Years of collaboration between the CDH and the Library made our presence seem like a good idea to all concerned. Good luck!

Our main studio space (as we called it) was thus very difficult for folks outside the working group to access, but it was otherwise serviceable, with workstations, windows, and an alcove where we kept our reference books and documents. We worked happily in this space for a long time, but wished for greater accessibility and exposure. Fast forward to January 2017 and the opening of our new CDH, as part a planned renovation and refurbishment of our Library's fourth floor, which now houses Special Collections and Archives and the CDH. We share a Digitization Suite and a Meeting Room (with white board, digital projector, computer, etc), as well as access to a large open space (wired) for symposia and booked classes. The CDH also has its own dedicated room with 6 workstations (3 MAC, 3 PC), a small round table for small team meetings, a wall of shelving for our own material collections, two display cases, and an alcove for storage. One flight below us is the Library IT "Maker Space" for faculty projects, so our location could not be better. The furniture we cobbled together over the years from cast-offs, and brought with us. The computers came from CDH members' funding or are cast-offs from the English Department. The physical space itself, however, is what's crucial. The location puts the CDH and its activities at the heart of the university and its activities. We are now able to collaborate easily with both the folks and the material collections in Spec Coll, and with the folks and other librarians in the Maker Space.

The researcher will work on Work Package 2.2 Investigating scalar issues in visualisation.�At present, most city dashboards are optimized to function best on a standard display screen. They will display on a smartphone or tablet, but in a way that is suboptimal in terms of legibility and coherence. This task will investigate scalar issues in how data are effectively visualised across different media and to use the resultant information to develop appropriate methods for delivering dashboard content on mobile devices (the key platforms through which people access city information on the move). The method will consist of building and iteratively user testing and developing mobile apps for the Dublin Dashboard. The outputs will be specific apps for citizens to use, but also a design guide for app developers producing city-focused apps. The successful applicant will be expected to work effectively as part of a team, maintain active liaison with stakeholders and collaborators, make a significant contribution to the dissemination of project outputs (incl. workshops, publications, web site, etc.), contribute to the development of PhD students participating in the project. This postdoc will provide high level input into researching and developing the multi­modal dashboard interfaces/installations. They will have strong visualisation and project management skills as well as experience working in app development. They will work within a team on Visualisation and multi-modal interaction problems. Principal Duties ● Undertake fundamental and applied research on the scalar issues in visualisation ● Liaison with project stakeholders and collaborators ● Contribute to: o Research publications and other aspects of research dissemination o Maintenance of project web site and social media o Intellectual development of PhD students The ideal candidate will have: Essential: ● PhD in a relevant discipline (or close to completion) ● Fundamental knowledge of and skills relevant to the questions being addressed ● Experience with multiplatform visualisation ● Ability to effectively disseminate the findings of the project ● An ability to work well in a multidisciplinary team ● Understanding of and aptitude for mobile development Desirable: ● A track record of working with open source tools ● An ability to play an effective role in securing further funding ● An already established track record in publications and organising workshops ● A commitment to open science, open data and open source software ● A willingness to communicate project work through social media ● Experience of working with mobile app design and development -- Best Regards, Dr Jeneen Naji Digital Practice Coordinator & Lecturer Department of Media Studies, Maynooth University, Ireland Instagram @jeneennaji Twitter @mean_neen _______________________________________________ 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 218117851; Thu, 14 Sep 2017 20:51:56 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 58C437C29; Thu, 14 Sep 2017 20:51:55 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 93BF879B7; Thu, 14 Sep 2017 20:51:52 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170914185152.93BF879B7@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2017 20:51:52 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.305 Digital Literary Stylistics Special Interest Group (SIG-DLS) 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: <20170914185155.28322.79993@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 305.

In the meantime, we've set up a web page that will be a hub for our activities. The SIG-DLS facilitates inter- and transdisciplinary interaction between different fields of "digital style studies," including computational stylistics, authorship attribution, corpus stylistics, and digital hermeneutics. Our aim is to foster novel empirical findings, methodological and epistemological innovation, as well as advocacy and networking. The SIG is interdisciplinary by nature. See our proposal at the webpage (URL below). At the present moment, the SIG has 30 members (see list of members at webpage, URL below). Are you interested in joining us?

In 1978, at the first History of Programming Language Conference (HOPL), papers were presented that discussed the development and evolution of thirteen computer programming languages, the people who participated in that work, and the context in which it was undertaken. In 1993, HOPL-II contained fourteen papers on the genesis and evolution of programming languages and programming concepts. In 2007, HOPL-III had twelve papers describing thirteen more languages and their origins, as well as the retrospective multimedia keynote presentation "50 in 50". It is now time for HOPL-IV, to be collocated with PLDI 2020. Whereas papers at previous HOPL conferences focused on single programming languages or a small set of related languages, for HOPL-IV the committee also encourages submissions that discuss and analyze the historical development of language features, design themes, or other strong influences on the direction of programming language design, implementation, and usage. A HOPL-IV paper that is about a single specific language should detail the early history or evolution of that language and the motivation for creating a new language; ideas about the language should have been documented by 2009 and the language should have been widely used by 2011. A HOPL-IV paper that addresses a language or language family already described in a previous HOPL conference should provide substantial new detail about language evolution, development and standardization activities, new dialects and implementations, significant publications, applications, user groups, and other technical and social consequences. A HOPL-IV paper about a more general historical theme or trend should cover a span of at least twenty years. The Program Committee will work closely with prospective authors to help ensure that both the content and the presentation of all the papers are of high quality. As is customary for HOPL, there will be two rounds of careful reviewing. The first round will select the papers for the conference (conditional acceptance); the second round will polish the papers and ensure that they meet the requirements for technical accuracy, historical completeness, and clarity. For each selected paper, a member of the Program Committee will be assigned as a ``shepherd'' to ensure that intermediate drafts are carefully reviewed and that the recommendations of reviewers are addressed. A detailed set of Author Guidelines and Instructions will be posted at the HOPL-IV website:http://hopl4.sigplan.org. Because of the complex nature of the history of programming languages, there will be no a priori upper bound on the length of submitted papers---authors should strive for completeness. We strongly recommend that prospective authors take a look at papers presented at previous HOPL conferences to get an idea of appropriate length, content, and organization. The website http://research.ihost.com/hopl/HOPL.html has information about past HOPL conferences and links to their proceedings. As usual for SIGPLAN-sponsored conferences, papers awaiting acceptance to any other conference or journal are not eligible for submission to HOPL-IV. If a closely related paper has been submitted elsewhere, the HOPL-IV chairs must be notified. Authors of accepted papers are expected to make presentations (to be recorded in video form) at the conference.

Benzon" Subject: Virtual Reading: The Prospero Project Redux – A Working Paper Abstract: Virtual reading is proposed as a computational strategy for investigating the structure of literary texts. A computer ‘reads’ a text by moving a window N-words wide through the text from beginning to end and follows the trajectory that window traces through a high-dimensional semantic space computed for the language used in the text. That space is created by using contemporary corpus-based machine learning techniques. Virtual reading is compared and contrasted with a 40 year old proposal grounded in the symbolic computation systems of the mid-1970s. High-dimensional mathematical spaces are contrasted with the standard spatial imagery employed in literary criticism (inside and outside the text, etc.). The “manual” descriptive skills of experienced literary critics, however, are essential to virtual reading, both for purposes of calibration and adjustment of the model, and for motivating low-dimensional projection of results. Examples considered: Heart of Darkness, Much Ado About Nothing, Othello, The Winter’s Tale.

The main challenge will be constructing a methodology that can reach a level of subtlety and saliency of analysis helpful to philosophers. First, the domain has an essential focus on extremely fine-grained nuances of meaning and great amount of subtle variation in small historical corpora with likely OCR problems, and requires author-specific lexical semantics at a much more fine-grained level than usually done. This will require experimenting with new distributional semantics and vector models for the type of texts at issue. Second, the application of a mix of top-down (semantic modelling based on ontologies) and bottom-up approaches relying on distributional semantics techniques forces the computational extraction of concepts/relations to happen within a complex, general and coherent conceptual architecture: the latter needs to be sensibly connected to the lexical level of the text (a topical challenge at the interface of AI and NLP). Great environment, great city, nice people. Any help with spreading the ad is appreciated!

The First International Workshop on Resources and Tools for Derivational Morphology will be held in Milan (Italy) on October 5th and 6th 2017. The workshop 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), at the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milan, Italy. The WFL project consists in the compilation of a derivational morphological dictionary of the Latin language, which connects lexical elements 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 the WFL lexicon to the wider community of Latin linguistics, and a place where confrontation with other scholars engaged in the treatment of derivational morphology from a linguistic computing point of view can arise, and potentials for the sharing of techniques and methods can be discussed.

ANEE asks: How do changing imperial dynamics impact social group identities and lifeways over a millennium? ANEE covers the Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, and early Roman / Parthian Empires. ANEE engages with methodologically varied yet integrated research on the long-term processes by which social group identities and lifeways were negotiated. Team 1 "œDigital Humanities Approaches" develops digital humanities approaches (especially social network analysis and language technology), using these to supplement the more traditional Assyriological approaches. Team 1 is looking for applicants with a solid background in Assyriology or a related field (preferably within the chronological scope of ANEE) and/or skills in Digital Humanities that can be put to use in relation to ANEE'™s goals.

The Listening Experience Database (LED) Project www.open.ac.uk/Arts/LED is detecting evidence of personal experiences of listening to music, and gathering them in a database with the aim of establishing an evidential base for the exploration of the way music has impacted on people in the past. The impact of music on individuals has been studied in different ways by psychologists, anthropologists, ethnomusicologists, social scientists, social and cultural historians and musicologists, and this conference aims to bring together several of these perspectives and methodologies. Our keynote speakers are Professor Stephanie Pitts and Professor Dave Russell. Proposals are invited for papers of up to 20 minutes (followed by 10 minutes of discussion), and panel sessions of up to 90 minutes. We are interested in receiving proposals on a wide range of topics irrespective of period, musical genre or culture, but papers must have the experience of listening to music as a central feature. The following list of topics is not prescriptive, but may be taken as a guide: • The musical experience and identities • The social contexts of listening • The musical experience and social class • Methodologies for understanding listening • How the evidence of listening experiences informs scholarly inquiry Proposals should include: • The name(s) and institutional affiliation(s) of the participant(s) • Title of the paper • Abstract (250 words) • Short biographical note (100 words per participant) • Any technical requirements beyond standard PowerPoint presentation facilities The deadline for abstracts is 01 October 2017. Please email your proposal to FASS-listening-experience@open.ac.uk Proposals will be reviewed and notifications of acceptance sent out by the end of October 2017. Registration will open in November 2017. All speakers apart from keynote speakers and LED project team members will be required to register.

We seek abstracts for contributions to a special issue of KULA on “Endangered Knowledge,” to be published in early autumn 2018. The stuff of cultural memory has forever been “endangered.” Threats to public access and to the long term preservation of records, data, objects, texts, and networks containing, transmitting, and enabling the production of knowledge come from many points of origin. Fire, floods, vermin and rot, war and political upheaval, poor planning, and the ravages of time have always posed risks. And dangers to the cultural record seem only to have multiplied with our growing reliance on digital information in rapidly proliferating formats and fragile networks, often under hostile regimes. This special issue of KULA asks: How do we preserve and effectively disseminate knowledge in the face of environmental, political, financial, infrastructural, and related risks? The question is urgent across disciplines. Inspired particularly by recent initiatives addressing the precarious state of public information under the Trump administration—such as DataRefuge, PEGI, and Endangered Data Week—we invite contributions that explore issues related to endangerment as a critical category of analysis for records, data, collections, and networks. Submissions may treat the dissemination and preservation of material at risk of disappearing, whether through inherent ephemerality or environmental loss, lack of proper preservation measures and care, or deliberate erasure. We invite abstracts of 300-500 words proposing short-to medium length scholarly articles, book or digital project reviews, teaching reflections and syllabi, or video and audio pieces from academics, artists, and practitioners working across disciplines and in any relevant fields. Based on abstracts, we will then invite the contribution of full submissions for peer review. We encourage submissions on diverse aspects of endangered knowledge, including the types of information at risk and the implications of their loss; values governing the preservation of knowledge; the politics of data absence and destruction; and the methods and ethics of preservation and transmission. Topics include but are not limited to: * (Digital) preservation, curation, scholarship, and sustainability * Citizen science and social knowledge * Disasters, disaster planning, and threats posed by climate change, war, occupation, or genocide * Intangible culture and indigenous knowledge * Endangered languages and language revival, translation, and transmission * Departures, migrations, diaspora * The politics of data collection * Silences or gaps in the public record * State secrecy * Data as danger or threat: surveillance, facial recognition, predictive policing * Privacy & ethics in data collection & records access, including the undocumented, the over-documented, and the right to know and be forgotten * Threat modeling and attempts to “rescue” data * Histories of lost or destroyed data, records, collections * Knowledge and research infrastructures, including libraries, repositories, digital infrastructure, information systems, and institutional and policy design * Information loss and copyright law; orphan works * Videotape and the “crisis” of magnetic media * Utopian or dystopian visions for endangered knowledge Please submit abstracts to kulajournal@uvic.ca by 31 October 2017.

Today, a pair of discussion papers was published in Antiquity on the topic of the role of formal computational approaches in Roman studies. It was sparked by our paper on computational modelling, which was discussed by Van Oyen, and we finally wrote a reply to this discussion. The discussion concerns in particular the use of computational simulation models, the use of large digitised datasets, and the theoretical challenges this poses. We very much hope that this will lead to more discussions about the role of formal approaches in Roman studies, and more critical formal studies.

People like me used to work on a few hundred nineteenth- century novels; today, we work on thousands of them; tomorrow, hundreds of thousands. This has had a major effect on literary history, obviously enough, but also on critical methodology; because, when we work on 200,000 novels instead of 200, we are not doing the same thing, 1,000 times bigger; we are doing a different thing. The new scale changes our relationship to our object, and in fact it changes the object itself. “No one has ever seen the objects studied by contemporary historians”, Krzysztof Pomian once wrote, “and no one could ever have seen them [...] because they have no equivalent within lived experience.” True.

I have no other information on Lidio's passing except that it was unexpected. See https://obittree.com/obituary/ca/ontario/woodbridge/fratelli-vescio-funeral-homes-ltd/lidio-presutti/3152185/ for the obituary. I knew Lidio while a graduate student at Toronto, when he and my London colleague John Bradley were working together at the university computing centre. Lidio later moved to the Information Commons in the Robarts Library, becoming Director of it. I remember Lidio as the one who taught me by his extraordinary patience what a conversation between scholar and programmer could do for both. I would say what I wanted, he would then rephrase in operational terms, I would have to clarify both my thoughts and my words, he would then ask if what I meant was this or that, and so on and so forth. Conversation with him became my exemplar in thinking about the internal dialogue between the scholarly mind and the programmer's mind that, I'd suggest, is a primary educational goal. I can only imagine that he will be greatly missed by the many he helped, and because of his example by many others who never met him. Thank you Lidio!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2017 01:57:27 +0000 From: Torsa Ghosal Subject: Call for Abstracts: Multimodal Books as Archives Please consider submitting abstracts for the panel, "Multimodal Books as Archives," to be proposed for the International Conference on Narrative 2018. ​ Deadline for submitting abstracts to the panel: October 05, 2017 Conference: 2018 International Conference on Narrative Venue: McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada Dates: April 19 – 22, 2018. Co-chairs: Torsa Ghosal (California State University, Sacramento) and Brian Davis (University of Maryland, College Park) Panel description: Contemporary authors are keeping "things" inside books in order to subvert epistemological circumscription, drawing attention to the distributed networks of people and media that configure knowledge. Avant-garde authors throughout the 20th-/21st- centuries have also turned to the book’s archivability. However, this practice has become increasingly prevalent since the 1980s with changes in the print culture and the proliferation of digital media. Theresa Cha’s Dictee (1982), Steve Tomasula’s The Book of Portraiture (2006), Mark Z. Danielewski’s Only Revolutions (2006), and Anne Carson’s Nox (2010) are popular examples of multimodal books that are also archives. These books functionalize several semiotic systems and foreground the visual, tactile features of the archives and, as such, are “multimodal.” In this panel, we are interested in papers that would consider why and how contemporary authors are transforming the book-object into a site for archiving and the extent to which this practice might be problematizing basic assumptions common to narrative theory, and whether a more interdisciplinary approach, such as one that combines narrative theory with the field of textual and media studies, would benefit our understanding of multimodal books as archives and works of archival fiction. Thus, we invite scholars of contemporary narrative, literature, and culture to submit (150 to 200-word) abstracts for a fifteen to twenty minute paper presentation on those multimodal fictions, poetry, or comics (1980-present, but preferably 21st century) in which issues of archive play a significant role. We seek papers that explore the narratological issues raised when literary texts foreground the motifs, thematics, and topoi of collecting, appraising, or preserving media artifacts, interrogating the material and expressive resources of the book medium, prompting us to think more critically about the ontological similarities and differences between fictional/literary archives and actual archives or databases. Likewise, we invite papers that explore the relation of archiving as a cultural practice with the experience of memory and recall in the light of the contemporary multimodal literary texts. Questions this panel is interested in include but are not limited to: * In what ways do archived materials impact the narrative experience of fictions and poetry? * How do archived materials in books lead to the narrativization of non-narrative media, such as photographs and maps? * How do multimodal archives within books affect the construction of fictional minds and representation of thought in fictional narratives? * Can multimodality resist dominant modes of representation, potentiating new configurations between material signs and biological subjects? * Can multimodal books as archives enable us to reimagine “reading” as an embodied, intersubjective performance for political ends? * How can archived objects in narratives be read and understood with reference to existing frameworks for studying materiality such as Media Archaeology, Thing Theory, or Object Oriented Ontology? * How do the presence of objects within books impact or revise our understanding of narratological concepts such as point of view, narrative voice, progression, or storyworlds? Please send us your abstracts at bdavis21[at]umd[dot]edu or torsa[dot]ghosal[at]csus[dot]edu by October 05, 2017. Let us know should you have any questions. ​Thanks, Torsa Ghosal ​Assistant Professor of English _______________________________________________ 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 CD0377CB6; Mon, 25 Sep 2017 16:34:21 +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 250727CB0; Mon, 25 Sep 2017 16:34:21 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 41B757CB0; Mon, 25 Sep 2017 16:34:17 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170925143418.41B757CB0@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2017 16:34:17 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.319 pubs: on curiosity-driven research 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: <20170925143421.10648.49188@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 319.

Schaffer" Subject: CfP: Sociology & Anthropology of Logic Call for papers Sociology and Anthropology of Logic: Past and Present Workshop organized by Julie Brumberg-Chaumont (LEM/CNRS/PSL, Paris Research University) and Claude Rosental (CEMS/IMM/CNRS/EHESS/PSL) The workshop "sociology and anthropology of logic: past and present" intends to explore the various ways in which logic can be approached from a sociological or anthropological point of view. We will look into how various actors and peoples concretely define and practice logic. Logic will not be apprehended according to a fixed definition of what it is or what it should be in order to assess its various definitions and practices. Instead, we will analyze their possible plurality. We will focus on both past and present definitions and practices of logic. Historical investigations are welcome. In particular, we will discuss how philosophy and history of logic might benefit from various methodological approaches developed by historians and sociologists of mathematics and science over the past 40 years. The organizers have contributed to this endeavour in various ways. In particular, Claude Rosental has been studying contemporary logical demonstrations from a sociological point of view. As for Julie Brumberg-Chaumont, she launched a programme called "Homo Logicus, Logic at the Edges of Humanity: Anthropological, Philosophical and Historical Approaches" with Antonella Romano at EHESS in Paris in 2016, and another programme called "Social History of Logic in the Middle Ages" with John Marenbon (Trinity College, Cambridge) in 2017. The anthropological dimension of logic may be observed, for example, in the debates that Lévy-Bruhl's notion of "pre-logical mentality" of indigenous peoples has generated for more than a century. Anthropologists and other actors have often referred to logical skills to define the boundaries of humanity. Depending on their more or less open definitions of logic, they have included a limited or a large number of humans within these boundaries. Testing codified logical skills - Aristotelian and traditional logic in the past, thinking skill assessment (TSA) today - has been used since the Middle Ages as a way to select individuals in higher education institutions and/or as a means for excluding "logically disabled" groups in relationship to their so-called "social or racial inferiority." A sociological approach to the history of logic implies that logic is not only a set of theories and doctrines, but also a tool for action that individuals use in different institutional, political, and social settings. Several authors have contributed to approaching logic this way. For instance, David Bloor's work inspired Irving Anellis and Ivor Grattan-Guiness's criticisms of the notion of the "Fregean revolution." The "social history of logic" programme developed by Volker Peckaus and Christian Thiel in the 1980s also illustrates this trend. Papers are expected to cover one of the following topics: -Logic and the Boundaries of Humanity -Social Studies of Logic -Anthropological History of Logic -Selecting Humans Based on their Logical Skills -Ethnologic and Ethnomathematics -History of Logic and History of Anthropology Abstracts (one page) should be sent by October 5, 2017 via e-mail to: brumberg@vjf.cnrs.fr _______________________________________________ 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 C09C67CB1; Tue, 26 Sep 2017 19:40:46 +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 64BCF7CB2; Tue, 26 Sep 2017 19:40:45 +0200 (CEST) Received: by digitalhumanities.org (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 546A97C79; Tue, 26 Sep 2017 19:40:42 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20170926174042.546A97C79@digitalhumanities.org> Date: Tue, 26 Sep 2017 19:40:42 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.322 pubs: model-based reasoning; internet histories; curiosity 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: <20170926174046.11483.70798@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 322.

The Transkribus User Conference will be a forum for new and more experienced users of Transkribus (https://transkribus.eu), a platform for the automated recognition, transcription and searching of historical documents. The conference will take place at the Technical University Vienna (Austria) on 2 and 3 November 2017. The event will shed light on the latest technological advances in the fields of Automated Text Recognition, Layout Analysis, Writer Identification, Keyword Searching and Information Extraction. It will also provide many opportunities for users to give feedback to Transkribus developers and ask questions about how automated processing can work on their documents.

Date: 23 – 24 May 2018 (with pre-conference workshops on 22 May and an ‘un-conference’ day on 25 May) Location: University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA Deadline for Proposals: 5 November 2017 (midnight UK time) Notification of Acceptance: 4 December 2017 Keynote speakers: Anna Kijas (Boston College) John Rink (University of Cambridge) Music encoding is a critical component of the emerging fields of digital musicology, digital editions, symbolic music information retrieval, and others. At the centre of these fields, the Music Encoding Conference has emerged as an important cross-disciplinary venue for theorists, musicologists, librarians, and technologists to meet and discuss new advances in their fields. The Music Encoding Conference is the annual focal point for the Music Encoding Initiative community (http://music-encoding.org), but members from all encoding and analysis communities are welcome to participate. For the first time, the annual conference will have a theme: “Encoding and Performance”. We welcome in particular submissions that theorize the relationship between music encoding and performance practice, describe experiments (failed or successful) in creating digital dynamic scores, propose ways of using encoded music for pedagogical purposes related to performance, or imagine future interconnections. The conference will be held at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, and therefore, we encourage presentations that include a performance component or demonstration. As always, other topics are welcome. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: – music encoding for performance research and practice – music encoding as a theoretical approach for research – methodologies for encoding, music editing, description and analysis – rendering of symbolic music data in audio and graphical forms – relationships between symbolic music data, encoded text, and facsimile images – capture, interchange, and re-purposing of music data and metadata – evaluation and control of quality of music data and metadata – ontologies, authority files, and linked data in music encoding and description – music encoding and symbolic music information retrieval – additional topics relevant to music encoding, editing, and description Authors are invited to upload their submission for review to our Conftool website, which will be available shortly: https://www.conftool.net/music-encoding2018. The deadline for all submissions is 5 November 2017 (midnight UK time). Abstracts (in PDF format only) should be submitted through ConfTool, and the submitted PDF must anonymize the authors’ details. Types of proposals Paper and poster proposals. Provide an abstract of no more than 1000 words, excluding relevant bibliographic references (no more than ten). Please also include information about presentation needs, particularly if you are planning a performance demonstration. Panel discussion proposals, describing the topic and nature of the discussion and including short biographies of the participants, must be no longer than 2000 words. Panel discussions are not expected to be a set of papers which could otherwise be submitted as individual papers. Proposals for half- or full-day pre-conference workshops, to be held on May 22nd, should include the workshop’s proposed duration, as well as its logistical and technical requirements. Friday May 25th is planned as an un-conference day, self-organized by the participants and open for anyone who wants to initiate a discussion on a topic mentioned above. Additional details regarding registration, accommodation, etc. will be announced on the conference web page ( http://music-encoding.org/community/conference). If you have any questions, please e-mail conference2018@music-encoding.org.

Edited by an international team of scholars led by Professor Alan Partington of the University of Bologna (Italy), JCaDS breaks new ground as the first linguistics journal to fully embrace the principles of open science, offering not only open access to the journal's articles but also open data that can be reanalysed and reused. In addition to original empirical research, JCaDS will publish reviews of books, software tools and corpora. Call for contributions JCaDS would like to invite contributions for its first issue, due to appear in summer 2018. The journal will consider original research articles using corpus techniques for the systematic examination of naturally-occurring language in specific settings and contexts. Aspects and areas of interest include but are not limited to applied linguistics; pragmatics; psycholinguistics; semantics; sociolinguistics; stylistics; translation; cohesion; conversation; evaluation; lexical priming; lexicogrammar; politeness; (cross-)cultural studies; discourse approaches to the study of business and organisations, education, healthcare, history, law, the media, politics, the professions, and sexuality and gender; and the digital humanities and social sciences. We welcome work from any disciplinary standpoint. The language of publication is English, but we welcome submissions working on any language. Original manuscripts should be no longer than 9,000 words. For further guidance please visit https://publications.cardiffuniversitypress.org/index.php/JCaDS/about/submissions. Authors need to register with the journal prior to submitting their manuscript online. JCaDS also invites reviews of books, corpus software tools and corpora. Please contact the book review editor, Sylvia Jaworska < JaworskaS@cardiff.ac.uk>, with details of your proposed review.

It is a work that remains relevant to contemporary cultural debates concerning issues ranging from biomedical technologies and the ethical questions they raise to misperceptions and misrepresentations of the Other and their impact on our shared humanity. *Frankenstein* sparks imagination and critical thinking about the human experience, and thus it is perhaps no surprise that it is the most widely taught literary text in the USA and the fifth most widely taught book from any discipline. To commemorate the bicentennial of the novel and also to harness its power to generate and inspire communities of readers, the Keats-Shelley Association of America (http://k-saa.org/) in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities is launching “Frankenreads”: a “Bloomsday”-style, national/international public reading of *Frankenstein* on October 31, 2018. We hope to: - engage an international community, including but not limited to North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia Pacific in related activities centering on the novel; - to make this community visible globally as a community through shared branding and social media; - to livestream a public reading of *Frankenstein* to be held in Washington, D.C. for those around the world who are unable to attend one in person; - to facilitate bringing regional experts of the novel to such events as lectures, discussions, and film showings held at local libraries and community centers; - to hold in the days leading up to Frankenreads an international “Week of *Frankenstein*,” during which students, teachers, and the public could hold *Frankenstein* related events and contribute their thoughts, images, and short videos about *Frankenstein* to a collective blog. We now invite you now to join our core group of over 40 universities and libraries from 10 countries by involving your university, local library, or community center in participating. To read more about strategies for hosting an event, see a select list of related resources, and to register your own event, go to our dedicated website: frankenreads.org. We hope you will be joining us as host or participant!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org [1] From: Tom Brughmans (13) Subject: Open science in archaeology: paper and special interest group [2] From: Bridget Almas (5) Subject: Reminder: contribute to the first editions of Humanités numériques --[1]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2017 08:39:55 +0000 (UTC) From: Tom Brughmans Subject: Open science in archaeology: paper and special interest group A recent paper, published in the SAA Archaeological Record by Ben Marwick and supported by a large group of archaeologists, argues for a transparant open science model in archaeology: data stewardship instead of data ownership, transparency in the analysis process instead of secrecy, and public involvement instead of exclusion. To stimulate the development of open science in archaeology a new special interest group at the Society for American Archaeologists was created. Interested in open science in archaeology? Get involved! Read the paper, check out the special interest group wiki, attend the events, subscribe to the mailing list. More info on the special interest group wiki: https://osf.io/2dfhz/ The paper: https://www.academia.edu/34696309/Open_Science_in_Archaeology Paper abstract: In archaeology, we are accustomed to investing great effort into collecting data from fieldwork, museum collections, and other sources, followed by detailed description, rigorous analysis, and in many cases ending with publication of our findings in short, highly concentrated reports or journal articles. Very often, these publications are all that is visible of this lengthy process, and even then, most of our journal articles are only accessible to scholars at institutions paying subscription fees to the journal publishers. While this traditional model of the archaeological research process has long been effective at generating new knowledge about our past, it is increasingly at odds with current norms of practice in other sciences. Often described as ‘open science’, these new norms include data stewardship instead of data ownership, transparency in the analysis process instead of secrecy, and public involvement instead of exclusion. While the concept of open science is not new in archaeology (e.g., see Lake 2012 and other papers in that volume), a less transparent model often prevails, unfortunately. We believe that there is much to be gained, both for individual researchers and for the discipline, from broader application of open science practices. In this article, we very briefly describe these practices and their benefits to researchers. We introduce the Society for American Archaeology’s Open Science Interest Group (OSIG) as a community to help archaeologists engage in and benefit from open science practices, and describe how it will facilitate the adoption of open science in archaeology.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to: • Humanities research enabled through digital media, artificial intelligence or machine learning, software studies, mapping and geographic information systems, or information design and modeling; • Social, institutional, global, gender, multilingual, and multicultural aspects of digital humanities including digital feminisms, digital indigenous studies, digital cultural and ethnic studies, digital black studies, digital queer studies; • Theoretical, epistemological, historical, or related aspects and interpretations of digital humanities practice and theory; • Computer applications in literary, linguistic, cultural, archaeological, and historical studies, including public humanities and interdisciplinary aspects of modern scholarship; • Computational textual studies, including quantitative stylistics, stylometry, authorship attribution, text mining, etc.; • Digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games, and electronic literature; • Emerging technologies such as physical computing, single-board computers, minimal computing, wearable devices, and haptic technologies applied to humanities research; • Digital cultural studies, hacker culture, networked communities, digital divides, digital activism, open/libre networks and software, etc.; • Digital humanities in pedagogy and academic curricula; • Critical infrastructure studies, media archaeology, eco-criticism, etc., as they intersect with the digital humanities; and • Any other theme pertaining to the digital humanities. The conference will be officially bilingual in Spanish and English, so we invite proposals for presentations particularly in these languages, as well as in the other languages for which we have a sufficient pool of peer reviewers (German, Italian, French, and Portuguese, the latter an important language community of our host region). Presentations may include: • Posters (abstract maximum 750 words) • Short papers (abstract maximum 1 000 words) • Long papers (abstract maximum 1 500 words) • Multiple paper panels (500-word abstracts + 500-word overview) • Pre-conference workshops and tutorials (proposal maximum 1 500 words) The deadline for submitting poster, short paper, long paper, and multiple-paper panel proposals to the international Program Committee is 11:59pm GMT-6 (local Mexico City time) 27 November 2017. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by March 5 2018. The deadline for submitting workshops and tutorials, including those proposed by a Special Interest Group (SIG), is 11:59pm GMT-6 (local Mexico City time), 16 February 2018, with notice of acceptance by 16 March, 2018. Submissions https://www.conftool.pro/dh2018/ When submitting proposals, previous Digital Humanities conference participants and reviewers should use their existing accounts rather than setting up new ones. If you have forgotten your username or password, please contact Program Committee Co-chairs Glen Worthey, gworthey [at] stanford [dot] edu, or Élika Ortega, e.ortegaguzman [at] northeastern [dot] edu. To facilitate the production of the conference proceedings, authors of accepted papers will be asked to submit final approved versions of their abstracts via the DHConvalidator, available through ConfTool, which creates a TEI text base of conference abstracts for further processing. Presenters are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Global Outlook::Digital Humanities’ Translation Toolkit to prepare for a bilingual conference. This includes guidelines and best practices for multilingual slides/posters/handouts and ad hoc community translation: http://go-dh.github.io/translation-toolkit/conferences/ Similarly, participants are strongly encouraged to make themselves aware of current recommendations for accessibility of presentations and multimedia-based materials. Please review the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Initiative Guidelines on Presentation Accessibility: https://www.w3.org/WAI/training/accessible II: TYPES OF PROPOSALS Proposals may be of five types: (1) poster presentations; (2) short paper presentations; (3) long papers; (4) multiple-paper panels; (5) pre-conference workshops and tutorials. Short paper and poster proposals are especially welcome and, based on peer review and its mandate to create a balanced and varied program, the Program Committee may offer acceptance in a different category from the one initially proposed. The committee will not normally accept more than a total of two submissions from one primary or co-author. Papers and posters may be given in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, or Portuguese. All proposals should include relevant citations to sources in the appropriate literature. Citations are not to be included in the word count. Additionally, proposals that concentrate on a particular tool or digital resource should cite traditional as well as computer-based approaches to the problem. Poster Presentations: Poster proposals (abstract maximum: 750 words) may present work on any relevant topic, or offer project tool, and software demonstrations in any stage of development. Poster presentations are intended to be interactive with the opportunity to exchange ideas one-on-one with attendees. Posters are in no way considered lesser forms of presentation at the DH conference, are subject to the same strict peer review as other presentation types, and submissions in this category are strongly encouraged. Short Papers: Short paper proposals (abstract maximum: 1000 words) are intended to be dynamic 10 minute presentations appropriate for reporting on experiments or works in progress or for describing tools or software in development. Short paper sessions seek to open dialogues among scholars working on related topics. Short papers are in no way considered lesser forms of presentation at the DH conference, are subject to the same strict peer review as other presentation types, and submissions in this category are strongly encouraged. Long Papers: Proposals for long papers (abstract maximum: 1500 words) should deal with substantial or completed research; report the development of significant new methodologies or digital resources; and present rigorous theoretical, speculative, or critical discussions. Individual papers will be allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions. Proposals relating to the development of new computing methodologies or digital resources should indicate how the methods are applied to research and/or teaching in the humanities and what their impact has been in formulating and addressing research questions. They should also include critical assessments of their application in the humanities as well as of the computing methodologies used. Multiple Paper Panels: Panels (abstract maximum: 500 words for overview, plus 500 words for each paper) should focus on a single theme and be conceived as 90-minute sessions of four to six speakers. Since the conference offers an important occasion to attract new scholars from diverse backgrounds to specific research areas, those submitting proposals for panels are advised to ensure that the constitution of the panel reflects the constitution of the field and/or research topic that is being addressed and ADHO’s expressed commitment to diversity, or explicitly address problems in those areas. In case the proposer’s own network is too limited, the Program Committee can advise them on whom to contact to broaden the panel. Please contact the PC chairs Glen Worthey gworthey [at] stanford [dot] edu or Élika Ortega e.ortegaguzman [at] northeastern [dot] edu if you need advice. Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials: Tutorials are normally half-day intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of participants. Workshop proposals may take many forms, including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, as well as proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen. Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Proposals should provide the following information: • Title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); • Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; • Description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and • Special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: • A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half-day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: • Intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one-and-a-half days); • Proposed budget (as workshops are expected to be self-financing); and • If the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. As with Multi Paper Panel proposals, those submitting proposals for pre-conference workshops and tutorials are advised to ensure that the constitution of the workshop reflects the constitution of the field and/or research topic that is being addressed and ADHO’s expressed commitment to diversity, or explicitly address problems in those areas. In case the proposer’s own network is too limited, the Program Committee can advise them on whom to contact to broaden the panel. Please contact the PC chairs Glen Worthey gworthey [at] stanford [dot] edu or Élika Ortega e.ortegaguzman [at] northeastern [dot] edu if you need advice. Workshops endorsed by an ADHO Special Interest Group (SIG): Workshops endorsed by a SIG and focused on a topic related to the concerned SIG are required to follow the same instructions as other workshops and will be subject to peer review, but will be given special consideration by the Program Committee. III: ADHO CONFERENCE CODE OF CONDUCT The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) is dedicated to creating a safe, respectful, and collegial conference environment for the benefit of everyone who attends and for the advancement of research and scholarship in fields supported by our constituent organizations. The ADHO Digital Humanities conference Code of Conduct is available at http://adho.org/administration/conference-coordinating-program-committee/adho-conference-code-conduct. All people submitting proposals to DH2018 should observe and uphold it. IV: VENUE AND THEME DH2018 will take place at the Maria Isabel Sheraton Hotel in downtown Mexico City, Mexico, and is hosted jointly by El Colegio de México (COLMEX), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), and Red de Humanidades Digitales (RedHD). The local organizers are Isabel Galina, Ernesto Priani, Alberto Santiago Martínez, and Micaela Chávez Villa. This is the first time that the annual conference will be officially bilingual in Spanish and English, which aligns with the efforts at DH2017, the first English and French bilingual conference, and will benefit accessibility for local scholars and attendees. The theme of “Bridges/Puentes” underscores the conference’s commitment to making our organization more global and diverse. V: BURSARIES FOR EARLY-CAREER AND EMERGING SCHOLARS The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations will offer a limited number of bursaries for early-career scholars presenting at the conference. Application guidelines will appear on the ADHO website later this year: http://www.adho.org. VI: INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL ACCOMMODATION For DH 2018 the Program Committee will open a special asynchronous track for accepted presentations by participants unable to travel to Mexico City. Proposals should be submitted using the same instructions as all other proposals; arrangements for video presentations in the asynchronous track will be made closer to the conference dates for participants affected by any kind of travel limitation. Presenters in this track will be asked to produce a video of their accepted presentation of no more than 10 minutes in length, and will upload it to a designated channel where it will be published by the conference.

He cities work across several disciplines, pointing to biology as the starting point of many scholars who have reached this conclusion. What about the disciplines of computing? Our machine, comprised of numerous 'black boxes' whose inner dynamic workings are in principle unknowable, would seem to me an example worth our consideration. It was explicitly designed as such an 'ecosystem', though in the language of human neurophysiology (von Neumann 1945). Its user-interface is obviously not more than but different from all the operations which sum to it. (Indeed, from an engineering perspective, those operations are clearly more than what they sum to.) Golley writes that "There was an exact moment of birth" for the concept of an ecosystem, "when the English ecologist Arthur Tansley created the word and presented it in a technical paper" in 1935. Here's the passage: > THE ECOSYSTEM > [...] > Clements' earlier term "biome" for the whole complex of organisms > inhabiting a given region is unobjectionable, and for some purposes > convenient. But the more fundamental conception is, as it seems to > me, the whole system (in the sense of physics), including not only > the organism-complex, but also the whole complex of physical factors > forming what we call the environment of the biome - the habitat factors > in the widest sense. Though the organisms may claim our primary > interest, when we are trying to think fundamentally we cannot > separate them from their special environment, with which they form > one physical system. > > It is the systems so formed which, from the point of view of the > ecologist, are the basic units of nature on the face of the earth.... > These ecosystems, as we may call them, are of the most various kinds > and sizes. (Tansley, "The Use and Abuse of Vegetational Concepts and Terms", Ecology 16.3, p. 299) There is the historical question when we extend Robin Gandy's "confluence of ideas in 1936", i.e. "the almost simultaneous appearance in 1936 of several independent characterizations of the notion of effective calculability" (in The Universal Turing Machine, ed. Herken), among which was Turing's, to the systems-thinking of the above. But there's also the question of computer systems as ecologies that include and perhaps now come close to defining us.

The organizers of the third conference, which will take place on 27-29 June 2018, in Paris, invite scholars interested in the history, philosophy and sociology of science to address questions related to measurement across disciplines ranging from the natural sciences to the life and human sciences. The recent revival of the philosophy of measurement in the early 2000s appears to be instrumental in overcoming the tensions that obstructed science studies during much of the second half of the twentieth century. The Paris conference aspires to promote the new ways of addressing issues of quantification and measurement that are now emerging and promising to bridge the various gulfs – theoretical versus practical, descriptive versus normative – that have divided the philosophical, historical and sociological approaches to science. It is now recognized that questions of quantification transcend the earlier focus on meaning and representation which formerly attracted the attention of philosophers of science, and that these questions benefit from investigation alongside the means and processes that enable scientists, and human agents in general, to agree on their measurement results and make them reliable bases for decision and action. The resulting shift of attention towards the uses of measurement results in inference and prediction places the new agenda of philosophy of measurement at the crossroads of conceptual, epistemic, historical, material, technological and institutional issues. The 2018 conference comes at a time when the field of metrology is about to reach an important turning point with the reform of the International System of Units (SI) that is to be announced by the end of 2018. With Measurement at the Crossroads we aspire to connect the discussions developing in the emerging field of history and philosophy of measurement with some of the issues arising from this major reshaping of the field of metrology. Special attention will thus be given to issues pertaining to the formation of systems of units and standards, as well as to related institutional matters. The conference will build upon the two former ones by inscribing these issues more explicitly in a world-wide and a long-term perspective. In addition to the enquiries related to the contemporary SI reform, time will therefore be allotted for studies concerned with how measurement units have been worked out in the past, from Antiquity to today’s reform, in different regions of the world. This will offer a cultural-anthropological outlook on metrology. Some of the questions listed below might be helpful to guide contributors without in any way constraining them: • Quantification and measurement practices Is it possible to devise a conception of quantity suited for all domains of science, and what are the specific difficulties raised by the definition of properties and quantities in the human sciences? How can one deal with scientific error, especially experimental error? How can scientists evaluate uncertainty and risk relative to experimental results and their uses? How can the study of measurement shed new light on the relations between theory, models, experiment and instrumentation? How can philosophy of measurement contribute to classical problems of the philosophy of science? (e.g.: realism, conventionalism and operationalism in science) • Units, standards and instruments How did numbers, units and standards become separated in the course of history, and how did units become coordinated to one another through metrological systems of units? How do standards contribute to the stabilization of facts? How do they affect human action and self-perception? How do the descriptive and the normative intertwine in measurement? What are the reasons behind the project of the new SI? What will be its conceptual, practical, technical and institutional consequences? • Communities, institutions, normativity and trust What social and institutional constraints are required to implement a global network of communicable, comparable and reliable measurement results? How can decisions be taken on the basis of measurement under conditions of uncertainty? What is the role of trust in the practice of measurement and in the assessment of scientific knowledge? Can the philosophical, historical and sociological enquiry into measurement make us more aware of our responsibilities in the development of our technological society?

This includes questions in the history and philosophy of notation and symbolic reasoning or computation. Further interests are activities of commenting or reviewing, and of publishing and collecting within the logicians' scientific community. The proposed approach is motivated by the observations that a great deal of the working logician’s job is to write and read. First, to work a problem in logic, it is necessary to apply certain rules for transformation or deduction. In order to apply these rules correctly, you may write down the consecutive steps by symbol inscriptions and eventually read off the result. Secondly, communicating logical problems requires activities of writing for an audience, and the results to be read by others. Moreover, what there is to be read depends not only on what has been written, but also on what – and how it – has been read by others.

In-Reply-To: <20171005051657.8F2CC7EC9@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, This may well be a distraction from what you really ask. Machines, including computers, are, I think, best understood as level hierarchies, and not as ecosystems. Complicated machines, like computers, are designed and built this way. Here ... "... A level consists of a medium that is to be processed, components that provide primitive processing, laws of composition that permit components to be assembled into systems, and laws of behavior that determine how system behavior depends on the component behavior and the structure of the system. ..." (p 95) These words are taken from The Knowledge Level by Allen Newell, 1982 PDF available here: This paper is, I think, an example of good writing about how computers work as machines. It is a foundational paper in AI, though it's never been very widely known, let alone well understood in AI. Using his level analysis of the computer as a machine, Newell introduces a new concept of knowledge: as a capacity for rational action. This formed the starting point for work on Knowledge Modelling and Knowledge Management that came out of AI in the 1980s and 1990s. As a concept of knowledge it differs strongly from the classical notion of knowledge as "verifiable true belief," used by others who developed (competing) approaches to Knowledge Management. A similar level-based approach is used to design and building database systems, and David Marr used a level hierarchy closely related to Newell's, as a basis for understanding vision. (A no longer current theory of vision today.) There's no talk of ecosystems here, nor of "the whole is more than the sum of its parts," or even "the whole is different from the sum of its parts." Levels do hide the details and complicatedness of some of the machine functioning, thus allowing us to understand and treat what the machine does, and can be made to do, in ways completely abstracted from these details and complications. This, I would say, is what makes something a machine, and it necessarily involves combining components, components that themselves can properly be considered as machines. Machines are hierarchically composed of machines to make different machines. This is essentially the same story W Brian Athur presents in his book "The Nature of Technology what it is and how it evolves" (2009). An important difference between machines and ecosystems, I think, is that in machines (composed of machines) functional dependency is unidirectional, whereas in ecosystems, functional dependency is often bidirectional. In machines, such as computers, the proper working of a machine (at some level) depends upon the proper working of the machines that compose it, but the working of these component machines do not depended upon the proper working of the machine they compose. Not usually, at least. And if they do, it usually means the machines is badly designed, or that something has gone wrong. The interesting thing about ecosystems is that they are not composed this way. Component parts do inter-depend to work, sometimes as pairs, but also in networks. This is, of course, what makes ecosystems harder to study and understand, and what gives rise to the kinds of complex behaviour sometimes described using phrase like "the whole is more than the sum of its parts." One last thing. The thoroughly confusing effect of this phrase, on our understanding of things like ecosystems, is not "the whole," it's "the sum." The idea that the combining of parts involves some sort of summation notion, even only by analogy, goes against how we see the way the world is put together, when we really look, and come to understand it. Summation is, I would say, completely the wrong notion here. So, it's hardly surprising that we find complexity complicated. Ecosystems display compositions of inter-dependent nonlinear functionality, not summation, which is a linear unidirectional affair. Now. If we network computers together, what do we get? Ecologies? Perhaps? But not ecologies much like we might be ecologies, I'd suggest. Networking computers may give us ecologies of machines. We, like other living things, appear to be ecologies made of ecologies, not ecologies made of machines. It's only if we insist on seeing natural things as machines that ecologies might seem to be made of machines, or, worse, to think that brains are computers.

Instead, a patchwork of individual scholars have been creating resources and modules that suit their own digital interests. This paper explores the ever-evolving digital history learning ecosystem, from the 1980s through to the present, considering what we are teaching fellow digital historians, what forms that teaching takes, and just how innovative it really is. The paper looks at more than 100 university syllabi across Canada, the United States, and England, and considers regional and temporal variation in teaching practice, to show us where digital history teaching has come from, and perhaps where it might go. ----- Adam Crymble is a lecturer of digital history at the University of Hertfordshire. He did his PhD in history and digital humanities at Kings College London. He earned his MA in Public History, his BA in History, and his Certificate in Writing and Rhetoric, from the University of Western Ontario. Adam’s research explores how we can make meaningful discoveries about the past in datasets that are too large to ingest by reading each source. This distant reading approach to history combines computer science, linguistics, and information science with the pursuit of history. ----- We're also pleased to announce the Autumn 2017 / Spring-Summer 2018 seminar dates and topics, with an exciting series of talks on a diverse range of topics. Seminars are held on Tuesdays from 5.15pm to c6:15pm, and everyone is invited for a drink and a meal in a local venue afterwards. Since it began in 2012, the IHR Digital History Seminar discusses historical research that has been made possible by the use of digital tools and resources.

I used this approach in my paper on punch card technology in Germany in the recent issue of the German journal Technikgeschichte. I showed how the introduction of punched cards induced the first information explosion in history. Further I raised some doubts on the current view that the industry in the United States were leading in the application of punched cards based control systems. I showed that in Germany the industry reached the same level of punched cards based control systems as in the United States. On your demand I can provide an English translation of my paper as a working paper 1/2017.

The corpus also provides a wide range of searches that are not available in other instances of the EEBO corpus online, including: semantic tagging, advanced part of speech tagging and lemmatization, the ability to quickly and easily create "virtual corpora", powerful comparisons across different parts of the corpus, and much more. The EEBO corpus is part of the SAMUELS project (https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/critical/research/fundedresearchprojects/samuels/), which also includes the Hansard Corpus (1.6 billion words in 7.6 million speeches in the British Parliament, 1800s-2000s), and which is also available from the BYU suite of corpora (http://corpus.byu.edu). ============================================ Mark Davies Professor of Linguistics / Brigham Young University http://davies-linguistics.byu.edu/ ** Corpus design and use // Linguistic databases ** ** Historical linguistics // Language variation ** ** English, Spanish, and Portuguese ** ============================================ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-4.1 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_00,DKIM_SIGNED, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED,T_DKIM_INVALID autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 61D287CBB; Fri, 6 Oct 2017 08:47:21 +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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id B4D1A6C0D; Fri, 6 Oct 2017 08:47:20 +0200 (CEST) Received: from a0i213.smtpcorp.com (a0i213.smtpcorp.com [216.22.15.45]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTPS id A2DCB24F0 for ; Fri, 6 Oct 2017 08:47:15 +0200 (CEST) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; q=dns/txt; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=smtpcorp.com; s=a1-4; h=Feedback-ID:X-Smtpcorp-Track:Date:Message-ID:To: From:Subject:Reply-To:Sender:List-Unsubscribe; bh=mr+rusUGG8mwQafhKun+OuhvFCuNxXVJdDgiIO+G/bI=; b=mbUh45E86O1MlEv99gHw43OoZ1 7c1OtCFNGa/ICP7/enDEWn7ze2nBbSzrVM5DiTiLm3/ZdeCmC0r1JjzBipUNJg8S+EwcYH9IaHeD6 gyftMNRILa/sWyRgoeU1yklE6YOzwVeHPYa62/Uqp1Ytgxx6mSGEiS5+RyDQfAbbpT8vFpxmH8ggO hDRgkqPtegJfMMkvwSTvxGiQn5Z5N/p4Nto5vRWBQvqKPIw2hi8dwWOHuSAqo6BPQ+VKyHJWIDRoC lxLR8NljlaC5/vZY0Y4xXNu9STDWpLYLW/OS6jXhlpdx7QrjOxWJo9wTvjdEraXXdrvcJkBFVG4PN xaqtFg2g==; From: Willard McCarty To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org References: <20171006061631.0287D79AE@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Organization: King's College London Message-ID: Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2017 07:47:06 +0100 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.3.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <20171006061631.0287D79AE@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Content-Language: en-GB X-Smtpcorp-Track: 1-0ueceLeQYr2y.1wPtoNquO Feedback-ID: 46026m:46026aO03WH-:46026s-24ulW87D:SMTPCORP X-Report-Abuse: Please forward a copy of this message, including all headers, to Subject: Re: [Humanist] 31.339 different from the sum of its parts X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; Format="flowed" Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20171006064721.5327.39480@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org However, in response to Tim Smithers' response to me: following Claude Bernard's work, going back to Hippocrates, on the environment within organisms (milieu intérieur), a question. If we put into parallel a biological organism such as ourselves and a computing machine, which rewrites its own code depending on events at a higher level, even exterior to the machine, where is the difference?

I used to work in mainframe computer operations for local government in the 1980s and I distinctly recall the day our IBM 4381 processer was upgraded and the installation engineer asked where to find the telephone socket we had assigned to it. What did the computer want with a telephone socket? The answer was that the computer would now self-diagnose certain kinds of internal fault, would call IBM's UK service centre, order the necessary replacement parts, and book a service visit to install them. This amazed us all. The modern equivalent would be the way that personal computer software 'patches' itself without human intervention. Is this self-improvement not an example, contra Smithers, of the working of the component machines (the faulty parts or units of code) depending on the proper working of the machine they compose (the whole processor or the whole software package)? Specifically, if Windows Update stops working on a PC, as has happened to me, the component parts of the operating system cease to operate properly because the whole operating system has cease to do its job of applying patches to those local parts.

It is an adaptation of the shared task-format established in the field of Computational Linguistics and Informatics to the field of Literary Studies. The goal of the first phase of this (two-phased) shared task is the *collaborative creation of annotation guidelines*, which in turn will serve as a basis for the second phase, an automatisation-oriented shared task. The (intended) audience for the first round of the shared task are researchers interested in the (manual) analysis of narrative, who then have influence over the target concept that computer scientists later aim at automatically finding. # Procedure During the first few months, the participants develop annotation guidelines on their own. We provide a development corpus (see below) that can be used to test guidelines internally. On June 15, the guidelines are to be submitted to us. Immediately thereafter, a test corpus is released. The participants then annotate the test corpus using their own guidelines, until June 25. After submitting these annotations (in an online annotation tool that we provide), the participants are asked to annotate the very same test corpus according to the guidelines of one other participant until July 6. In the same time, the organizers will gather annotations based on every participants guidelines made by students. Finally, all participants meet for a workshop (in August/September) and discuss their own and the others’ annotation guidelines. Guidelines will be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively (inter-annotator agreement) during the workshop. Based on the outcome of the workshop we will define the guidelines for the second phase of the shared task, i.e., the guidelines on which the automatization of narrative level annotation will be based. Participants of the first phase can also participate in the second, but don’t have to. Mixed teams, consisting of humanists/narratologists and information/computer scientists are welcome. # Corpus The corpus has been compiled to cover as much relevant phenomena as possible. It is heterogeneous with respect to genre, publication date and text length. Still, representativity (whatever that means for literature) was not a guiding principle. All texts are available in English and German. Some texts are translations from a third language. The maximal length of the texts in this corpus is 2000 words. Since this limitation entails a bias with respect to the use of narrative levels, we also have included a long text, which is we make available in a shortened version. For the latter we removed passages that do not affect the overall narrative level structure in a substantial manner. The corpus is freely available on github: https://github.com/SharedTasksInTheDH/phase-1-development-corpus # Important dates June 15: Submission of annotation guidelines June 25: Submission of annotations on test corpus July 6: Submissions of annotations on test corpus, using foreign annotation guidelines August/September: Workshop (will likely take place in Germany and take multiple days; we are working on funding) If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.

During my postdoctoral research fellowship at the École Normale Supérieure de Lyon I have started a scientific collaboration with the research team CACTUS (IHRIM - ENS de Lyon), developer of the TEI oriented open-source software TXM, in order to create a digital scholarly edition of Hobbes's political works provided with advanced textometric functionalities. I actually plan to apply quantitative text analysis methods to the study of the development of Hobbes's ʻtheologicalʼ argument. Our prototype corpus currently includes Hobbes's English political treatises, corresponding to the tcp files A43995, A43978, A86417, and A43998. In order to complete the corpus with the Latin political works, we need the XML TEI P5 file of the 1668 Thomae Hobbes Malmesburiensis Opera philosophica, quae Latinè scripsit, omnia or, at least, of the 1676/1678 Leviathan, sive De materia, forma, & potestate civitatis ecclesiasticae et civilis. As the EEBO-TCP project seems not to have keyed them, is there anybody working on them and willing to share the material? To this end, we could take into consideration the creation of a partnership. I thank you in advance for your help.

You can find it online at http://de.digitalclassicist.org/berlin/seminar2017, at the bottom of this email or attached as a ready-to-print poster. The seminar series will start on Oct. 16 with a talk by Rebecca Kahn (HIIG Berlin) "An Introduction to Peripleo 2 – Pelagios Commons’ Linked Data Exploration Engine". This year's keynote lecture will be given by Leif Scheuermann (ACDH, University Graz) on Oct. 30 and is entitled "Approaches towards a genuine digital hermeneutic". This year there will be a couple of organizational changes: seminars will take place on Mondays starting at 17:00 (instead of Tuesdays), and they will be held on a fortnightly basis either in Berlin-Mitte at the Humboldt University (Hausvogteiplatz 5-7, Institutsgebäude (HV 5), room 0319) or in Berlin-Dahlem at the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (Wiegandhaus, Podbielskiallee 69-71, entrance via Peter-Lenne-Str.). We would also like to draw your attention to the possibility for students to attend the seminar as part of their curriculum, because the seminar is also offered by the Humboldt University as a "Ringvorlesung" (see the HU’s course catalog and the DH Course Regisrtry ). We would be very grateful if you could disseminate this email and the flyer to others. We are looking forward to seeing you in the Seminar!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2017 21:04:55 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 31.339 different from the sum of its parts In-Reply-To: Dear Willard, You ask: "If we put into parallel a biological organism such as ourselves and a computing machine, which rewrites its own code depending on events at a higher level, even exterior to the machine, where is the difference?" This is a tough question, and I wouldn't claim I'm qualified to answer it. Others have attempted to, however. Maturana and Varela's Autopoiesis is, for example, an attempt to distinguish between living systems and other kinds of (non-living) systems. It figured prominently in the early years of Artificial Life. Maturana and Varela (M&V) explain that ... "An autopoietic machine is a machine organized (defined as a unity) as a network of processes of production (transformation and destruction) of components which: (i) through their interactions and transformations continuously regenerate and realize the network of processes (relations) that produced them; and (ii) constitute it (the machine) as a concrete unity in space in which they (the components) exist by specifying the topological domain of its realization as such a network." (Ref [1], p 78) And argue that living systems are autopoietic systems, saying that ... "What is distinctive about them [living systems] ... is that their organization is such that their only product is themselves, with no separation between producer and product. The being and doing of an autopoieic unity are inseparable, and this is their specific mode of organization." (Ref [2] p 48) They contrast autopoietic systems with allopoietic systems, where Allopoiesis is the process whereby a system produces something other than the system itself. Computer systems don't produce themselves, they are designed and built to produce other things. They are allopoietic systems, like all other Human made systems (so far). Thus, according to M&V, we see the difference you ask about in the way Humans and Computers are organised, and in what they produce. Self-changing, or rewriting code, are not things that necessarily makes them different or the same. Since we're talking about Computers, here's a little more M&V that I think further illustrates the difference. "It is interesting to note that the operational closure of the nervous system tells us that it does not operate according to either of the two extremes: it is neither representational nor solipsistic. ... In other words, the nervous system does snot ''pick up information'' from the environment, as we often hear. On the contrary, it brings forth a world by specifying what patterns of the environment are perturbations and what changes trigger them in the organism. The popular metaphor of calling the brain an ''information-processing device'' is not only ambiguous but patently wrong." (Ref [2], p 169) There are, and have been, other attempts to answer your question, or that can be used to try to. One that contrasts with M&V's, by presenting ideas that do not so clearly separate us, humans, from the kinds of computer systems we build and use, is Robert Rosen's Anticipatory Systems theory [3]. Rosen, a mathematical biologist, argues that we are model making and using systems, and argues against the Cybernetic view of systems, including living systems, as being hierarchies of feedback systems, a la William Powers [4], for example. [Rosen, by the way, presents what is for me one of the best definitions of the modelling relation. Chapter 3, p 89.] I like M&V's analysis and way of understanding the kinds of systems we are, as living systems -- autopoietic -- and the kinds of system computers are -- allopoietic. I think M&V help to show us how to look for the differences too, by carefully building up from well founded basic notions that afford understandings of biological realities, rather than trying to see ourselves and other things in terms of what we can design and build. Computers only look something like us because we look upon ourselves and think we see things that look like computers. It's hard not. Brains were once described as being like electro-mechanical telephone exchanges, only smaller (and wetter), until (mainframe) computers came along, that is. Before that, brains were thought to be miniature hydraulic systems. I like to imagine that early hominid tool users and makers (two to three million years ago) thought that inside their heads must be a community of tiny stone tool makers and users. How else could they go about devising the tools they made and used? Best regards, Tim References [1] Humberto R Maturana & Francisco J Varela, 1973, 1980.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2017 15:49:18 +0200 From: Tim Smithers Subject: Re: 31.343 different from the sum of its parts In-Reply-To: <20171007084843.94A557D31@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Gabriel, Let me see if I can say how I see things, using your last part about Windows not updating. I'm guessing some here, because I'm not familiar with the insides of the Windows operating system, but I'll use how I built other systems that do something similar. You say ... "... if Windows Update stops working on a PC, as has happened to me, the component parts of the operating system cease to operate properly because the whole operating system has cease to do its job of applying patches to those local parts." At the level of the "whole operating system" we have a single system, a single machine, that does quite a lot of things, including keeping itself uptodate. If this machine stops updating itself, but keeps on doing other things, we need to look a the level below to discover why it is not updating. We need to look at the system of machines that make up the Operating System Machine. There we will find, I am presuming, an Updating Machine, amongst (many) others. Testing this Updating Machine may lead us to see that it is not updating because it fails to connect to a server, from where it gets updates. We then need to look at the level below this Updating Machine, at the machines it is composed of, to find the machine that does the "connecting to the server." Again, we test this, to understand why it doesn't seem to work. And so on, down through the levels, until we find the component machine that is not working, and that, through this linear chain of functional dependencies, causes the "whole operating system" to be seen to not update itself. In this view, when you say "the component parts of the operating system cease to operate properly," it is not, as you say, "because the whole operating system has cease to do its job of applying patches to those local parts," but because some component machine, down inside the Operating System Machine, has failed to do its job. The "whole operating system" doesn't do the updating job, only certain components of which it is composed do. To say the component parts fail because the whole operating system has failed is a level confusion: to to confuse the causal relationships designed and built into all the machines that go together to make the operating system. If it wasn't like this, the Windows Operating system, and other things like it, would be much harder to understand, diagnose, and fix. In designing and building these kinds of allopoietic machines, we try hard to keep the causality that renders the linear functional dependencies as simple as possible. Having said this, a nice example in computer programs of two parts (sub-machines) inter-depending for their own correct functioning, can be seen in coroutines, a generalisation of subroutine. From Wikipedia: Coroutines are computer-program components that generalize subroutines for non-preemptive multitasking, by allowing multiple entry points for suspending and resuming execution at certain locations. Coroutines are well-suited for implementing familiar program components such as cooperative tasks, exceptions, event loops, iterators, infinite lists and pipes. Coroutines are useful, and routinely used for certain things operating systems do, but they can be horrible to diagnose and debug. Needles to say, the functional relationship between the Windows operating system and its many components, and the functional relationships between these components and the machines they are, in turn, built from, is not a coroutine one. It's a subroutining relationship. Operating systems are essentially hierarchies of subroutines with a few coroutines. This is how new versions of parts of the operating system, "patches" as you call them, can be downloaded and installed without having to stop the whole operating system. You can't do this easily for one part of a running coroutine, since the state that each part depends upon for its proper working is shared across bother parts of the coroutine.

We'd therefore like to reach out to textual scholars, digital editors, digital librarians, software developers, computer scientists, web designers -- in short, all those involved in the creation, publication, and dissemination of digital scholarly editions. Earlier this year, as part of a Marie Sklodowska-Curie DiXiT ITN(Digital Scholarly Editions Innovative Training Network) collaboration, we set up a survey on Inclusive Design and Dissemination in Digital Scholarly Editing, which you may have seen passing by on some listservs. After a successful presentation of the preliminary results of the survey (at the Digital Humanities conference in Montreal this summer [link ( https://dh2017.adho.org/abstracts/373/373.pdf) ]) we continue to expand our research into this important issue. If you haven't filled out the survey yet, we'd be very grateful if you could take the time (about 20 minutes) to share your thoughts and experience with us. By doing so, you will contribute to the study of improving inclusive design, and you will help us to examine how issues of accessibility affect scholarly editors, information professionals, and an audience of readers. You can start the survey by clicking on this link (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MCDRMYY) . We will keep all responses anonymous and guard your data very securely. (There is a demographic section but you do NOT have to provide your name). If you have any questions about how the data we collect will be used, please do not hesitate to contact Merisa Martinez at merisa.martinez@hb.se. Further, if you have any suggestions for people or projects that you think would benefit from providing their feedback to this survey, we would be very grateful if you could please send those names to us at dixitsurvey1@gmail.com. As an incentive for our respondents, we are offering a raffle of 25 digital Amazon gift cards in denominations of $20/€20 (as the case may be). We will randomly select 25 recipients to receive these gift cards as a thank you for completing the survey.* The survey will be open until November 1. We will send a reminder email on October 23rd. Thank you for your time and consideration, and for providing us with your very valuable feedback, Merisa Martinez (University of Borås) Elli Bleeker (Huygens Institute) Wout Dillen (University of Antwerp) Anna Maria Sichani (Huygens Institute) and Aodhan Kelly (University of Antwerp) *NB:The gift cards are reserved for those who complete the survey. --===============8691263808593573756== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php --===============8691263808593573756==-- 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 554C27F0D; Tue, 10 Oct 2017 09:54:57 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6EFA87E11; Tue, 10 Oct 2017 09:54:56 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 48E0C7DDF; Tue, 10 Oct 2017 09:54:53 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171010075453.48E0C7DDF@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 09:54:53 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.350 events: DHSI colloquium & conference; historical cryptography 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: <20171010075457.24810.18194@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 350.

HistoCrypt addresses all aspects of historical cryptography/cryptanalysis including work in closely related disciplines (such as history, history of ideas, computer science, AI, or (computational) linguistics or image processing) that is sufficiently formalized or applied, with relevance to historical ciphertexts and codes. We welcome everybody interested in the field of historical cryptology (classical cryptography and cryptanalysis) to participate in the event. We invite submissions to HistoCrypt, either short or long paper, for presentation at the conference, which will be evaluated by a program committee. The conference's subjects include, but are not limited to: + the use of cryptography in military, diplomacy, business, and other areas + analysis of historical ciphers with the help of modern computerized methods + unsolved historical cryptograms + the Enigma and other encryption machines + the history of modern (computer-based) cryptography + special linguistic aspects of cryptology + the influence of cryptography on the course of history + teaching and promoting cryptology in schools, universities, and the public Considering the location of the upcoming HistoCrypt 2018 at Uppsala University, special attention is encouraged to the heritage of Prof. Arne Beurling and his role in breaking the German teletype ciphers. Participation in the conference is mandatory for at least one author of each accepted paper. BACKGROUND HistoCrypt 2018 represents a continuation of the highly successful European Historical Ciphers Colloquiums (EuroHCC) held in Heusenstamm (2012), Kassel (2016), and Smolenice (2017). Considering EuroHCC's growing popularity among the crypto historians and cryptographers and the established HICRYPT network on historical cryptology with over 50 members from 20 countries around the world, our aim is to establish HistoCrypt as an annual, international event. The first event in the series takes place in 2018 at Uppsala University, Sweden. SUBMISSIONS We invite paper submissions in three distinct tracks: + regular papers up to 10 pages (including references) on substantial, original, and unpublished research, including evaluation results, where appropriate; + short papers up to 4 pages (including references) on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, tutorials, or opinion pieces; + short papers up to 4 pages (including references) on system demonstrations (demo). Presentations of accepted papers are either oral, poster, or demo, which will be decided by the program committee. Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in the HistoCrypt 2018 proceedings, which is published as part of the Northern European Association for Language Technology (NEALT) Proceedings Series (http://omilia.uio.no/nealt/?task=publications) by Linköping University Electronic Press (ECP: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp/index.en.asp), as freely available Gold Open Access.

In UK consumer law, for example, it has long been established that although the fault in a complex machine may have its root in a particular small subcomponent, the seller cannot use that fact to argue that overall the machine is functioning and that only a small subcomponent is at fault. If the whole machine isn't doing what it's meant to do, the whole machine is deemed to be faulty. This way of thinking seems not only pragmatically correct from the point of view of law, but also technically correct from the point of view of computer design. Is it not the case that computers and their operating systems are indeed so complex that we can no longer define their interactions by a hierarchy of modular operations? The same set of instructions (a single long number) pulled in off the hard disk may be running on two processor cores simultaneously, and from the point of view of coding 'intention' it seems to me that they are only loosely not tightly subordinated to another process that is meant to be supervising them. Am I wrong? Can we still model this situation as a hierarchy of intentions? I'm genuinely asking for enlightenment on this.

Because of this, some previous update has interfered with the functioning of a device driver and now it crashes periodically and this interferes with the operation of the “Update Machine”. (I’m talking real experience here.) So, arguably, a failure on the company’s part to thoroughly test an update is causing the whole updating / patching system to work incorrectly. You could still point to the inside of the machine and say “here is the cause: a device driver that keeps crashing”, but I could point back to the update system and say “here is the cause: a failure to test thoroughly, resulting in an incompatible update.” And then the system engineer would point back to my system and say “here is the cause: an obscure peripheral device that isn’t on my compatibility list.” And I could say “here is the cause: a cost-savings measure by the company to restrict the set of tested configurations on the compatibility list.” Or I could point to the peripheral manufacturer. Etc. I think it is not a stretch to say that at this point personal computing is a pretty complex ecosystem, and even though each machine is fundamentally deterministic, its correct functioning is often subtly but ultimately dependent on decisions made by other actors: software / hardware companies, hackers, ISPs, etc. Ask any IT person charged with keeping such systems up and running. The causal arrows point in multiple directions.

Keynote talks will be given by Professor Kirsten Shepherd-Barr (University of Oxford), Professor Alex Goody (Oxford Brookes University). The BSLS invites proposals for 20-minute papers, panels of three papers or special roundtables on any subjects within the field of science, and literatures in the broadest sense, including theatre, performance, film and television. There is no special theme for this conference but abstracts or panels exploring Frankenstein in its bicentenary year are especially welcome as are those in the contemporary period, theatre and performance. In addition, we are hoping to put together sessions with looser, non-traditional formats, and would welcome proposals from any person or persons interested in making presentations of approximately ten minutes from notes rather than completed papers. Our hope is that the latter format will encourage longer Q&A sessions with more discussion. If you have a topic or research area which would suit such a discussion, we would also like to hear from you. Please send an abstract (c.200-250 words) and short biographical note to the conference organiser, Dr. Carina Bartleet, c.e.bartleet@brookes.ac.uk, by no later than 5pm GMT, Friday 8 December 2017. Please include the abstract and biographical note in the body of the email and not in an attachment. All proposers of a paper or panel will receive notification of the results by the end of January 2018. The conference fee will be waived for two graduate students in exchange for written reports on the conference, to be published in the BSLS Newsletter. If you are interested in being selected for one of these awards, please mention this when sending in your proposal. To qualify you will need to be registered for a postgraduate degree at the time of the conference. Please note that those attending the conference will need to make their own arrangements for accommodation. Information on local hotels will be made available soon. Membership: conference delegates will need to register/renew as members of the BSLS (annual membership: £25 waged/ £10 unwaged).

While originally there was a clear – and almost exclusive – focus on quantitative analysis, supported particularly energetically by the QUANTUM group at Cologne, there soon developed a broader field, embracing information technology in its hole width, beyond its usefulness as a tool for quanti-tative analysis. Manfred Thaller was part of that development for twen-ty years at the Max-Planck-Institut für Geschichte in Göttingen, where he worked on IT tools and methods targeted directly at historical stud-ies, before he was appointed to the first professorship for computer applications in the Humanities in Germany created outside of linguistics, at the University at Cologne. This volume starts with an autobiographical essay describing his experience of this development of an interdisciplinary area, which left him with rather mixed memories: behind a sparkling front story of an en-folding field, he frequently had the feeling, that there was a tendency to ignore the huge epistemic potential of a serious attempt to apply computer science to the field of history in favor of glamorous but shallow short term goals. This volume presents thirteen independent papers, describing a number of the requirements for a more intensive form of interdisciplinary work between Computer Science and the Humanities. Besides general methodological considerations, they focus on the particularities of text and time as occurring in historical sources, trying to connect these various threads into a general model for the representation of historical information in information technology. Manfred Thaller is professor emeritus for Historisch-Kulturwissenschaftliche Informationsverarbeitung (applied computer science in the Humanities) at the University at Cologne. ----- HSR Supplement 29 contains the following articles by Manfred Thaller: Between the Chairs.

I'll attempt a response, but I'm not an Operating System expert, nor a legal one. My experience here lies more with trying to fix robots that have stopped working. Gabriel: yes the way the legal realm and the technical realm treat this situation are different. Rightly so, I think. We do want to know who has legal responsibility, and who is at fault in the eyes of the law, when technical systems go wrong or fail to do what they are supposed to. Yes, modern Operating Systems are certainly complicated and some times hard to understand. But, even when they run on multi-core processors, it is still possible, and useful, to understand the functional hierarchy that causes what the system is doing at any moment. This hierarchy is not, of course, fixed, it changes as the Operating System does different things. And, if you go all the way down to the hardware levels, to the individual cores of the multi-core processor, where the hierarchy ends up changes too. Sometimes the code of some needed routine runs in one core, at other times, in another core. But in designing all this, we try to keep things separated, independent, and functionally encapsulated, so as to prevent unintended, and hard to understand, interactions. The same code may indeed be executed at the same (real) time but on different cores, but it's these two different execution threads that are the causal functioning, not the code used. Code, in and of itself, is passive. Nothing happens until it is executed in some processor core somewhere at some time. When this code is designed and built we don't usually need to know when nor where it will be executed. That's a job for the Operating System to decide. We just need to take care that we build tightly encapsulated functionality, so that it doesn't have unintended, and hard to diagnose, side effects. For me, it's not about intentions -- the things that are in the heads of the people who build the code --it's about the functional implementation and how this is made to happen in the right way at the right time to make well defined things happen. And, yes, I think these can be well understood in terms of levels of abstract functionality and hierarchies. But I'm sure there are people here more knowledgeable about Operating Systems and their implementation, who could put me right on this. Robin: Your's too is a nice point. And one that, I think, relates to Gabriel's question about (legal) responsibility. I'd put your example of the crashing device driver like this. The cause of the failure of the Update Machine is the device driver crashing. The reason the device driver crashes is a poorly prepared previous software update. The cause lies in the technical system, and is what we need to find if we are to fix this fault, and regain well working software updating. The reason this failure happens lies in the actions of the people who prepared and issued the update that messed up the device driver. There are two stories here: the technical and the human. There are always two stories. Operating Systems, and computers in general, do not prepare their own updates, not yet, ta least. People still do this, and they have responsibilities, and occasionally fail to do their job well. This 'always two stories' means we have two systems: the technical system, which is what I have been talking about; and the combined human-technical system, which is what you and Gabriel are pointing to when you talk of fault according to the law, and reason why the device driver started crashing. The technical system is not, I think, well understood as an ecosystem. The combined human-technical system may well be an example of an ecosystem. One in which the law tries to impose linear responsibility chains for faults and incorrect working. I've not tried to cover this combined human-technical system. I am not qualified to do this. However, for many good reasons, it is the more important, the more interesting, and the more difficult system to understand. And, if I may say this, it is a matter in which we need plenty more good Humanist inputs. There's plenty of technical systems on the way into our lives, and some already here, that are not, I think, receiving enough attention in this respect: self-driving cars, for example. Or things like Amazon's Alexa, or Apple's Siri, or ... the list goes on and is growing. To put the question in a provocative form: why is much of humanity allowing the digital to dehumanise it so? Is this an ecosystem at work? I think so. It doesn't look like something debugging robots helps with much.

Because of this, some previous update has interfered with the functioning of a device driver and now it crashes periodically and this interferes with the operation of the “Update Machine”. (I’m talking real experience here.) So, arguably, a failure on the company’s part to thoroughly test an update is causing the whole updating / patching system to work incorrectly. > > You could still point to the inside of the machine and say “here is the cause: a device driver that keeps crashing”, but I could point back to the update system and say “here is the cause: a failure to test thoroughly, resulting in an incompatible update.” And then the system engineer would point back to my system and say “here is the cause: an obscure peripheral device that isn’t on my compatibility list.” And I could say “here is the cause: a cost-savings measure by the company to restrict the set of tested configurations on the compatibility list.” Or I could point to the peripheral manufacturer. Etc. > > I think it is not a stretch to say that at this point personal computing is a pretty complex ecosystem, and even though each machine is fundamentally deterministic, its correct functioning is often subtly but ultimately dependent on decisions made by other actors: software / hardware companies, hackers, ISPs, etc. Ask any IT person charged with keeping such systems up and running.

The underlying postulate is that, by virtue of human individuality, our styles of writing form distinctive idiolects or Saussurean paroles, personal (though not necessarily conscious) selections from langue as a general system. These paroles display multifarious properties. Among them three major features, all quantifiable, enable us to model the style of written texts with considerable accuracy and to compare them with each other. The three are measures of abundance, of consistency, and of interrelationship. Relative abundance, ranging from high frequencies down to zero, is easily calculated and can yields potent contrasts. But abundance is of little use for our purposes unless it is consistently sustained across a range of texts. Taken together, these two determinants carry a good deal of weight. Their limitation, however, is that they treat the language as a mere list of chosen word-types or, at best, as an aggregation of them. But, as everybody knows, language functions through the interrelationship of words. Those who have sought to go further by choosing word-types that tend to ‘go together’ have taken sequence and close proximity as their criteria. But many words display similar patterns of frequency without necessarily meeting those criteria: sets of grammatical associates, syntactic partnerships, and deixis among the function words or of features, like archaism, colloquialism, Latinism, and many others among the lexical words. Such sets, moreover, often have negative corollaries, the alternatives consistently not chosen. Across a range of texts appropriate to whatever case may be in hand, both positive resemblances and direct contrasts of frequency can be identified by Spearman’s method of correlation. The coefficients (or rho-scores) for many of the pairs united in this way show very high levels of statistical significance. These pairs can be gathered in sets embracing all the partners of a given member, with separate subsets for positives and negatives. When, for example, ‘the’ is taken as a ‘headword,’ it yields positive and negative sets, ‘THE_p’ and ‘THE_n.’ Such ‘rho-sets,’ as I call them, can then be treated as compound variables and employed as data in much the same ways as we customarily use single-word variables. The trials undertaken (and illustrated here) suggest that this approach gives unusually accurate measures of stylistic difference, especially with short texts. Many of the sets themselves are of considerable philological interest and help to explain how the study of word frequencies can be so rich in stylistic information. ----- John Burrows (MA Sydney & Cambridge, PhD London) is Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Newcastle, where he has been the director of the Centre for Literary and Linguistic Computing, and which he joined in 1976 after having spent the previous fifteen years at the University of Sydney. Since he took up literary computing in 1979, he has published a book and over fifty articles in that field. The last to appear was in January 2017, a collaborative article in the Authorship Companion volume of the New Oxford Shakespeare. The most recent of all was submitted for publication in August, 2017.

Alan Liu, University of California, Santa Barbara, http://liu.english.ucsb.edu - Distinguished Professor in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an affiliated faculty member of UCSB’s Media Arts & Technology graduate program. Frans Mäyrä, University of Tampere, http://www.unet.fi - Professor of Information Studies and Interactive Media (specifically digital culture and game studies) In 2018, the conference seeks to extend the scope of digital humanities research covered, both into new areas, as well as beyond the Nordic and Baltic countries. In pursuit of this, in addition to the abstracts familiar from humanities traditions, we also adopt a call for publication ready texts as is the tradition in computer science conferences. Therefore, we accept the following types of submissions: 1. Publication ready textsof length appropriate to the topic. Accepted papers will be submitted to the CEUR-WS proceedings series for publication in a citable form. 1. Long paper: 8-12 pages, presented in 20 min plus 10 min for Q&A 2. Short paper: 4-8 pages, presented in 10 min plus 5 min for Q&A 3. Poster/demo: 2-4 pages, presented as an A1 academic poster in a poster session. 2. Abstractsof a maximum of 2000 words. Proposals are expected to indicate a preference between a) long, b) short, or c) poster/demo format for presentation. Approved abstracts will be published in a book of abstracts on the conference website. Submissions to the conference are now open at ConfTool: https://www.conftool.net/dhn2018/ Important dates The call for proposals opened on 28 August 2017, and the deadline for submitting proposals is 25 October 2017. Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 8 January 2018. For papers accepted into the citable proceedings, there is an additional deadline of 5 February 2018for producing a final version of your paper that takes into account the comments made by the reviewers. This year, the conference welcomes in particular work related to the following themes: History While the number of researchers describing themselves as digital historians is increasing, computational approaches to history have rarely captured the attention of those without innate interest in digital humanities. To address this, we particularly invite presentations of historical research whose use of digital methods advances the overall methodological basis of the field. Cultural Heritage Libraries, galleries, archives and museums are making vast amounts of cultural heritage openly digitally available. However, tapping into these resources for research requires cultivating co-operation and trust between scholars and heritage institutions, due to the cultural, institutional, legal and technical boundaries crossed. We invite proposals describing such co-operation -- examples of great resources for cultural heritage scholarship, of problems solved using such data, as well as e.g. intellectual property rights issues. Games Humanities perspectives on games are an established part of the game studies community. Yet their relationship with digital humanities remains undefined. Digitality and games, digital methods and games, games as digital methods, and so on are all areas available for research. We invite proposals that address high-level game concepts like "fun", "immersion", "design", "interactivity", etc positioned as points of contact with the digital. Future We also invite proposals in the broad category of ”Future”. Accepted proposals will still fit in the overall context of the conference and highlight new perspectives to the digital humanities. Submissions may range from applications of data science to humanities research to work on human-machine interaction and ecological digital humanities. We also welcome reflections on the future of the digital humanities, as well as the societal impact of the humanities. Finally, the overarching theme this year is Open Science. This pragmatic concept emphasises the role of transparent and reproducible research practices, open dissemination of results, and new forms of collaboration, all greatly facilitated by digitalisation. All proposals are invited to reflect on the benefits, challenges, and prospects of open science for their own research. Call for workshops/panels and tutorials In addition to individual papers, the conference calls for interested parties to submit proposals for workshops/panels and tutorial sessions to be held preceding the conference. Workshops/panelsgather together participants around a particular subtopic, while tutorialspresent a useful tool or method of interest to the digital humanities community. Either can take the form of either a half or a full day session, and they generally take place the day prior to the conference. Proposals should include the session format, title, and a short description of its topic (max 2000 words) as well as the contact information of the person/s responsible. Proposals should also include the following: intended audience, approximate number of participants, and any special technical requirements.

Schilt" Subject: CfP Scientiae 2018 Call for Papers Scientiae: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World 16-19 May 2018 University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Minneapolis, USA The Programme Committee for the 7th Annual Scientiae Conference invites submissions for individual papers or special panels on the disciplines of knowing in the early modern world (roughly 1400-1800), to be held at the University of Minnesota, 16-19 May 2018. The major premise of the Scientiae Conference series is that knowledge during the early modern period was pre-disciplinary, involving complex mixtures of theories, practices and objects, which had yet to be separated into their modern ‘scientific’ configurations. Although centred on attempts to understand and control the natural world, Scientiae addresses natural philosophy, natural history, and the scientiae mixtae within a wide range of related fields, including but not restricted to Biblical exegesis, medicine, artisan practice and theory, logic, humanism, alchemy, magic, witchcraft, demonology, divinatory practices, astronomy, astrology, music, antiquarianism, experimentation and commerce. The conference and the sessions are interdisciplinary and intended to foster debate, one of Scientiae’s defining values. While the Programme Committee welcomes proposals for 20-25 minute papers from any disciplinary perspective, we would like to encourage submissions that seek to examine modes of early modern knowledge formation and application that cross traditional national, geographic, linguistic or intellectual borders. For 2018, we would also like to invite proposals for a series of special 2-hour interdisciplinary panels. These should be organised by theme and include three speakers and a commentator who treat the issue from different disciplinary perspectives. The Program Committee welcomes sessions that present the scholarship of members at various stages of their careers. However, graduate student speakers must be advanced students who have completed coursework, examinations, and much of their dissertation research, and expect to defend their dissertations in the next two years. Individual papers should include a 250-word abstract and a 1-page CV. Panel proposals should consists of a single 250-word description of the theme under discussion, and three 100-word outlines of how each paper will contribute to this theme, and from what discipline/angle. Email proposals to: scientiaeminnesota [at] gmail.com Deadline: 25 November 2017. We will notify all contributors by 5 January. Kind regards, Cornelis J.

Complexity Science, the study of systems consisting of a collection of interconnected relationships and parts, provides a useful framework for formalising social and socio-natural models and it is often under this umbrella term that formal models are presented in archaeology. It has a particular appeal for researchers concerned with humans, as it stresses the importance of individual actions and interactions, as well as relations between individuals and wider system elements. Archaeology is a discipline that studies long-term, large-scale shifts in social change, human evolution, and relationships with the environment; how these phenomena emerge through the actions and interactions of individuals are questions that lie at the heart of our interests. Complexity Science offers an arsenal of methods that were developed specifically to tackle these kind of mulitscalar, multifaceted research questions. This session will provide a forum for archaeological case studies developed using Complexity Science toolkits as well as for more methodological papers. We invite submissions of models at any stage of development from the first formalisation of the conceptual model to presenting final results. Possible topics include but are not limited to applications or discussions of the following approaches: - Complexity science, - Network science, - Agent-based and equation-based modelling, - System dynamics, - Long-term change in social systems, - Social simulation in geographical space, - Complex urban systems, space syntax, gravity models. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 12:28:41 -0400 (EDT) From: lachance@chass.utoronto.ca Subject: TCC 2018 (April 17-19) Announcement & Call for Proposals A call... 23rd Annual Teching, Colleges, Community (TCC) Worldwide Online Conference April 17-19, 2018 Navigating the Digital Landscape Submission deadline: December 15, 2017 Submission form: http://bit.ly/tcc2018proposal Homepage: tcchawaii.org Hashtag: #tcc23rd Call for Proposals Please consider submitting a proposal for a paper or general session related to all aspects of learning, design and technology including but not limited to e-learning, online learning communities, collaborative learning, social media, mobile learning, emerging technologies, international education, and professional development.

His research expanded from traditional literary and translation studies into stylometry and distant reading. A founding member of Computational Stylistics Group, the makers of the stylo R package that has since become a major tool in quantitative textual analysis, he has published in this field in Literary and Linguistic Computing/Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, The R Journal and in Information Sciences. Rybicki is also an active literary translator with more than 30 novels translated from English into Polish; he is now working on his 8th book by John le Carré, A Legacy of Spies. Abstract: Reading literature with computers seems to oscillate back and forth between the micro and the macro scales. As more and more texts become available, per fas or per nefas, in the electronic medium, machines allow us to count anything that is countable in texts, literary or otherwise. But then these minute details of literary creation are combined into big datasets to provide new outlooks on individual authors and on entire literary traditions; on literature in the original or in translation or both. Stylometrists seem to be trying to do two things at once: one relatively small thing and one pretty big. The small thing – authorship attribution of individual writings – has always been their main if not their only raison d’être in mainstream literary studies. But the big thing is that they take giant leaps into classification of as many literary texts as their digital collections and their computers can handle. Can the twain: close and distant reading come together in “a beautiful friendship”? ----- *** Attachments: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Attachments/1508251021_2017-10-17_gabriele.salciute_civiliene@kcl.ac.uk_18787.2.pdf --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 20:59:58 +0000 From: Angie Beiriger Subject: CFP: Transforming student research in the digital age Conference, Reed College Dear colleagues, Proposals are now being accepted for the conference "Collaborating to transform undergraduate research: evolving modes of scholarly practice in the digital age" to be held March 14-16, 2018 at Reed College in Portland, OR.

The RDJ consists of data papers: scholarly publications containing a non-technical description of a data set and putting the data in a research context. A data paper gets a persistent identifier and provides publication credits to the author, who is usually (but not necessarily) also the data depositor. RDJ is published by Brill in collaboration with DANS (Data Archiving and Networked Services), the Netherlands institute for permanent access to digital research resources. The journal's Social Sciences Section is coordinated by the UK Data Service. RDJ is soliciting new submissions, in particular related to the following domains: * Archaeology and geo-archaeological research * Social and economic history * Oral history * Language and literature * Audio-visual media The publication language is English. RDJ data papers have a maximum length of 2500 words. Datasets that underpin the submitted data papers, should be formally published in a trusted digital archive or in one of the repositories preferred by the journal . It is also appreciated if the data are readily accessible to the reader (possibly in the form of a sample) so that (s)he can directly get an impression of their nature and quality. Illustrations and other multimedia content are particularly welcome. Contributions are to be submitted online through Brill's Editorial Manager . Detailed guidelines can be found in the Instruction for Authors. RDJ has no issue deadlines; papers are published as soon as the review process is completed and the contribution is formally accepted by the editor.

The Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) provides an ideal environment for discussing and learning about new computing technologies and how they are influencing teaching, research, dissemination, creation, and preservation in different disciplines, via a community-based approach. A time of intensive coursework, seminars, and lectures, participants at DHSI share ideas and methods, and develop expertise in using advanced technologies. Every summer, the institute brings together faculty, staff, and students from the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, Library, and Archives communities as well as independent scholars and participants from areas beyond. Described by one participant as an event that "combines the best aspects of a skills workshop, international conference, and summer camp," DHSI prides itself on its friendly, informal, and collegial atmosphere. We invite you to join the DHSI community in Victoria for a time of focused practice, learning, and connecting with (and making new) friends and colleagues. * Fabulous 2018 Offerings (Plus Registration & Scholarships) Offerings for 2018 are the result of consultation with our community about the topics and material we'd all like to see covered at DHSI now and in the future, as well as a call for proposals for courses among members of our community. This year, we're able to have a number of additional courses on offer and, overall, continue with smaller class sizes to facilitate better our learning together! As well, following previous DHSIers’ suggestions, there is also the opportunity to take more than one course, across two weeks, as well as a host of new opportunities to meet others who share common interests in the areas that bring us together. At the moment, preparations for 2018 continue to hum along in Victoria, and our 'quiet' launch of our registration system earlier has resulted in courses beginning to fill ... even a bit ahead of anticipated schedule. As in the past: if there's a course you or a member of your team absolutely need, we’d recommend registration earlier rather than later for it! If you've not yet seen the list of our 50+ 2018 course offerings plus our growing group of shorter workshops and other activities, we'd really encourage you to do so; see http://dhsi.org. We’re pretty excited about how things are coming together! And, in addition to a great mix of classic and new courses (recommended by our community), we've got some great talks in store from Bethany Nowviskie (CLIR Digital Library Federation; U Virginia), Jordan Abel (Simon Fraser U), William Bowen (UTSC, Iter) and David Gaertner (U British Columbia), and others -- as well as our DHSI Conference and Colloquium, lunchtime unconference sessions, and much more … including alliance this year with the engaging programs of the Digital Library Federation and the Symposium on Indigenous New Media, which will take place from 8-11 June. Further, as we do every year, we'll have the pleasure of awarding a number of tuition scholarships. Application is via http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php, and these scholarships cover tuition costs with the exception of a small, non-refundable administration fee (students $150, non-students $300). The absolute deadline to apply for scholarships is 14 February 2018, though the scholarship committee considers applications on a regular, rolling basis and evaluates applications based on need, merit, and course availability at the time of evaluation; scholarship spots tend to fill exceptionally quickly. We’re also hoping to work, as we've done in the past, with a number of groups to offer additional support in the form of travel bursaries (!); details on our website. - To register for a DHSI course: http://dhsi.org/courses.php - To apply for a tuition scholarship: http://dhsi.org/scholarships.php * Wonderful Partners and Sponsors DHSI takes place on the University of Victoria campus, and is offered by UVic's Electronic Textual Cultures Lab.

Thinking Electronic Literature in a Digital Culture: Explorations and Interventions http://elo2018.org/ The Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) is pleased to announce its 2018 Conference and Festival, hosted by the Université du Québec à Montréal. The Conference, the Festival and Exhibits will be held August 13th to 17th in downtown Montréal, Québec, Canada. Mind the Gap! will be bilingual, with both English and French tracks, showcasing Montreal’s important and dynamic local Québécois e-lit/digital arts community and extending a special welcome to e-lit’s global francophonie. The aim of this conference is to think about e-lit in a digital culture. What is its relationship to current cultural practices and trends? Two directions are proposed: explorations and interventions. The first direction features e-lit’s exploratory nature, its formal aspects, its use of technology, its renewal of narrative conventions, and at the same time its impact on literary theories and methodologies to renew themselves. The second direction considers e-lit’s place in the public sphere, its relationship to digital and urban culture, to forms of conservation and presentation, and also to performance. TOPICS Possible topics for presentations, performances and exhibits are: Gaps in the field Translation gaps: code, natural language, media Narrative theory, temporal gaps and the imaginative space of the in-between Understanding e-lit: towards digital methodologies and/or pedagogies Mobile technologies’ effect on writing and reading habits Perceptual gaps: AR, VR, and Linking Structures Politics of e-lit: gaps between reception communities Gaps and Bridges between e-lit and digital humanities Gender gaps in e-lit Spoken screens: the gap between performance and presence Linguistic and cultural specificities to E-lit Electronic literature and urban culture Mind the gap! E-lit and humour Gaps between datasets and interfaces Archiving differences between libraries and museums Exhibition differences: ephemeral and permanent installations What is different about e-lit for children? SUBMISSION GUIDELINES For the Conference (peer-reviewed): Paper (15 min - a presentation of a single paper by one or more authors - 500 word abstract). Lightning talk (5 min - a short paper for a focused presentation - 250 word abstract). Poster (1 page poster). n.b. A poster can be combined with a lightning talk. Panel (90 min - a proposal for a complete panel including 3 or 4 separate papers on the same general topic - 250 word overview plus 500 word individual abstracts). Pre-conference Workshop (Action sessions, focused on hands-on group work on a given project or topic - 500 word abstract). For the Festival (peer-reviewed): Performance and screening (10 min - readings, actions, interventions - 250 word abstract; provide links to images, videos, etc.) Gallery exhibit (provide description of installation, as well as technical needs) Submissions open: October 16th, 2017 to December 15th, 2017. Acceptances sent out: January 30th, 2018. You must attend the conference to appear on the program. You may submit as many proposals as you want, but participants may present a maximum of two pieces/papers. Registration: Early registration will close April 30st, 2018. There will be a registration fee for the Conference (to be determined), which will include ELO Membership, invitations to all sessions of the Conference, the Festival, and the Exhibits. Lunch and coffee-breaks will be served. Conference banquet requires an additional fee. The conference will be hosted by the University du Québec à Montréal, at the Berri-UQAM subway station.

Who does sustained reading from screen under what conditions? My own reading habits go something like this. If the reading is of articles from which I need to extract basics of the argument, then I skim the text on screen and sometimes take notes. If I want to immerse myself in the argument and assimilate the author's way of thinking, then it has to be from a codex. (As a result of this my library grows with alarming rapidity.) I am forced to make an exception when the book isn't available but can be found online. I should note that the screens I read from, when I must, are of the high-resolution kind. I should also note that I can read from a high-definition tablet but seldom do so unless away from home. And I do have comfortable places to sit with said tablet. Are these habits a function of age? Do those who have learned to read from screen differ? Comments welcome, as usual.

In-Reply-To: <20171020055252.B2A9B7CD7@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, I almost exclusively read from screen these days, and have been doing so now for the better part of 6 or 7 years. The reasons for this are purely pragmatic as far as I can see. The two obvious ones are that I only need to carry around my tablet to have all my literature with me at any time and that the house has reached its limits to what it can hold as to physical books without them becoming an enduring annoyance. On the epistemological-pragmatical side of things there’s the added reason that I can divide my laptop screen in a reading and a note taking half. For me this means prolonged concentration without turning from the printed material to the screen and from finger or pencil to keyboard. This avoids the ever so tiny but nevertheless exhausting-like-a-thousand-tiny-cuts constant medium switches. It also means all my notes end up being digital and thus searchable, which is a must for a person with the curse of astoundingly bad memory like me that is heavily dependent on externalizing thinking. As usual there is nothing in this that could not have been accomplished by non-digital means, but the digital variant boosts convenience and productivity. I cannot really say I miss books. I have no romantic inclination towards reading from paper by candlelight. And I certainly do not miss the weird stench of that particular newer type of half-glossy printing paper, nor the choking dust clouds produced by early 20th century cheap prints or 1970s pockets. What I do not miss, because I still make sure I get these experiences by putting my hands on physical codices at times, is the magnificent esthetic and material pleasure of books and manuscripts that have been made with love and craftsmanship: the codices that are consciously created as both intellectual and material pieces of art or knowledge. Obviously there are lots of these from medieval times as well as just in print who’s particular makeup do simply not survive a transition to the digital medium fully completely, simply because they were not intended for that medium. On the other hand books are impressively bad at reproducing embedded multimedia. But mainstream novels and scientific articles that have no highly specific medial properties, what’s the use of having these in print clogging my space? You are no doubt aware of the studies that argue that handwriting is better for memory, that reading from screen is terrible for recall, and that using digital technology will unlearn us the very utility of thinking. A trope since Socrates at least, as you know. The results of those studies are more a signal of practices and preferences in transition, I think, than of intrinsic truths. I wonder if the same results would come up if those experiments would be repeated by different researchers, or in ten years. I guess the bottom line as always is: if it works for you, use it, just don’t be dogmatic about it. All styles have their esthetics and utility, to be appreciated and applied.

In-Reply-To: <20171020055252.B2A9B7CD7@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Willard asks about reading from the screen, the "function of age" and about how "those who have learned to read from screen differ". I didn't "learn to read" from screen (I'm too old), but I did learn to read seriously as a professional from the screen. I first read all the works of Shakespeare not from a book but from a screen, using the floppy disk version of the 1986-7 Wells & Taylor Oxford Shakespeare, created by Lou Burnard in 1989. I was amazed to watch my fellow undergraduates type out quotations of Shakespeare from printed books (and get them slightly wrong) when I could cut and paste them on screen. Why would they prefer this? Also, to take notes they had to put down the book and move their hands over to the keyboard, while my hands were already on the keyboard and I only had to switch from one window (the text) to another (my notes) on the screen. Again, I could not understand why anyone would work this way unless they simply didn't have a digital version of the text they wanted to read. 15 years ago I got my entire library digitized and now I never need to faff about with paper. But as the eyes get older (I'm in my 50s), it gets harder to focus on a screen that is 2-3 feet away. The solution was cheap and simple: project the image onto a wall 10-12 feet away. The image is huge and middle-aged eyes can focus at that distance all day without strain.

In-Reply-To: <20171020055252.B2A9B7CD7@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Hi Willard, Can’t say that I do much “sustained” reading from the screen, but that’s how I do most of my reading these days. For one thing, most of my library is in storage. For another, I mostly read articles rather than books. And I like to mark the articles. Marking them on a PDF is not quite as convenient as marking them on a printed page, but it’s OK. And, of course, it’s far more convenient to cut and past quoted passage from an online article than it is to type from paper. If I do find a book I want to study, however, I try to get ahold of a codex. The same if I’m reading for, you know, “pleasure”. These days a get most of my fiction and fantasy in the form of movies and TV, and that’s mostly online. Oh, and, yes, I have high resolution screens to read from.

Benzon" Subject: Texts and the library of Babel Hi Willard, I’ve got two recent posts that might be of interest to the seminar. Can you learn anything worthwhile about a text if you treat it, not as a TEXT, but as a string of marks on pages? [#DH] : I talk about the difference between “text” as literary critics have come to (mis)use the term, and “text” as it is the object of examination in computational criticism. While literary critics occasionally mean either the codex or the graphic marks within when they talk of the text, critics mostly have something grander and more diffuse in mind, something that’s tethered to the physical symbols, but that’s more than those symbols. That something may be more or less the world or something that happens in the mind of a reader, but it’s not (merely) the symbols. Computational critics, on the other hand, have nothing but those symbols to work from. The conventional critic, then, is utterly baffled that computational critics can manage to discover anything at all in a mere pile of graphic marks. Borges redux: Computing Babel – Is that what’s going on with these abstract spaces of high dimensionality?

Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography invites applications for its inaugural fellowship cohort (2018–19). The deadline is November 1, 2017. Continuing the work of the Andrew W. Mellon Fellowship in Critical Bibliography (2012–17), this new scholarly society will work to advance the study of texts, images, and artifacts as material objects through capacious, interdisciplinary scholarship--and to enrich humanistic inquiry and education by identifying, mentoring, and training promising early-career scholars. Fellows will be encouraged and supported in integrating the methods of critical bibliography into their teaching and research, fostering collegial conversations about historical and emerging media across disciplines and institutions, and sharing their knowledge with broader publics. The fellowship includes tuition waivers for two Rare Book School courses, as well as funding for scholars to participate in the Society's Annual Meeting and Orientation. Additional funds are available for fellows to organize symposia at their home institutions, and fellows will have the option of attending a bibliographical field school to visit libraries, archives, and collections in New York City. The Society is committed to supporting diversity and to advancing the scholarship of outstanding persons of every race, gender, sexual orientation, creed, and socio-economic background, and to enhancing the diversity of the professions and academic disciplines it represents, including the professoriate, museums, libraries, archives, public humanists, digital humanities, and the humanist academic disciplines. We warmly encourage prospective applicants from a wide range of disciplines, institutions, expertise, and interests.

Who does sustained reading from screen under what conditions? My own reading habits go something like this. If the reading is of articles from which I need to extract basics of the argument, then I skim the text on screen and sometimes take notes. If I want to immerse myself in the argument and assimilate the author's way of thinking, then it has to be from a codex. (As a result of this my library grows with alarming rapidity.) I am forced to make an exception when the book isn't available but can be found online. I should note that the screens I read from, when I must, are of the high-resolution kind. I should also note that I can read from a high-definition tablet but seldom do so unless away from home. And I do have comfortable places to sit with said tablet. Are these habits a function of age? Do those who have learned to read from screen differ? Comments welcome, as usual.

In-Reply-To: <20171021070603.D58C880FC@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Bill, In the second of your two recent Blog posts you point us to -- Borges redux: Computing Babel -- you say your thoughts are driven by a wondering like this. "How come, for example, we can create this computer system that crunches through a two HUGE parallel piles of texts in two languages and produce a system than can then make passable translations from one of those languages to the other WITHOUT, however, UNDERSTANDING any language whatsoever? Surely the fact that THAT – and similar things -- is possible tells us something about something, but what?" [1] Yes, this is something to wonder about. And I agree with where your thinking on this takes you. Here is how I would Bable on about your wondering. First, because this seems unclear from you what you write, these (so called) Deep Learning Translators (DLTs) work through two huge piles of paired texts: each text, in one language, is paired with a human translation into the other language. DLTs need to be fed with human translations of texts. They don't "learn" to become (artificial) translators if they are fed with their own translations, unlike DL systems which can "learn" to play games, such as Go for example, by playing against themselves. (That's because in the case of these games, success and good play are externally definable: not so for translation. Good translation is manifested by examples, not defined by rules.) If you feed a (suitable configured) DLT with enough examples of good enough (human made) text translations, then it is not a surprise that it will come to encode meaning-free text-to-text translation mappings that work well enough for the translated text to be a "passable translations." If this DL approach works at all, it can hardly end up doing anything else. The surprise would be if, after much good training, a DLT couldn't cough up at least passable translations. There are regularities in text translations; probabilistic regularities. But, we should notice, as you do! It takes a human to tell if the translation is passable or not, and it takes a skilled human translator to turn this passable translation in to a professionally acceptable one, which is often what is really needed, and certainly needed to produce more training fodder for the DLT. So, first humans have to do all the translating of texts to produce the huge piles of stuff we feed to our DLT, then it takes a human to say if the resulting translation is passable or not. The DLT cannot do this. It'll give you certain values to do with the statistical probabilities of its translation efforts, and perhaps even include other less probable possibilities, according to its calculations. But it cannot tell if it's most probable version is a passable translation or not. It probably will be passable, if the DLT has been trained with enough good human translation pairs. All this is to get to this question. Why do we think these DLTs are doing any translating, when it requires humans to first do loads and loads and loads of good translations for it to have anything to "learn" from? And why do we think these DLTs are doing any translation when they can't tell you if what they come out with is a passable translation or not? Only we humans can do this. All the translating here is being done by humans, no? I'd suggest that a fairer way to talk about this is to say that these (so called) DLTs produce passable translation look-a-likes, not real translations. How they do this is clever, certainly, ingenious, even. But they do not do it by translating texts. They do it by inducing probabilistic pattern mapping rules from huge numbers of human made text translation pairs. It's a clever trick. We should call this Artificial Cleverness (AC), not AI (Artificial Intelligence), I think. Or, if you insist upon calling it AI, we should be clear what kind of 'artificial' is in action here: the artificial in 'artificial light,' or the artificial in 'artificial flower'? Artificial light is real light made by artificial means. Artificial flowers are not real flowers, just artificially formed things made to look like real flowers. DLTs are, I'd say, examples of A(flower)I, not A(light)I. Or, better said, I think, examples of AC. I may be muddled in my thinking, and only able to write passable English, but I'd bet some that Google Translate won't make a more passable version in any language you ask it to translate this text into. (At least, I hope not!) Best regards, Tim PS: Are we, I wonder, in a Trumpian world, allowed to call what DLTs give us, "fake translations"?

While literary critics occasionally mean either the codex or the graphic marks within when they talk of the text, critics mostly have something grander and more diffuse in mind, something that’s tethered to the physical symbols, but that’s more than those symbols. That something may be more or less the world or something that happens in the mind of a reader, but it’s not (merely) the symbols. Computational critics, on the other hand, have nothing but those symbols to work from. The conventional critic, then, is utterly baffled that computational critics can manage to discover anything at all in a mere pile of graphic marks. > > Borges redux: Computing Babel – Is that what’s going on with these abstract spaces of high dimensionality?

It is like we wish to physically remove from our sight everything around us and stay concentrated on something requiring all our concentration. Unfortunately, I am not longer able to recover the article where I read this. The idea of something 'ancestral' to explain the traditional way of reading, nevertheless, appears to me intriguing to be further scrutinized. Thank you for your attention, many regards.

It attempted to connect annotation into the issue, and someone might find the most recent publication that came out of the Pliny project in DHQ (http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/11/1/000279/000279.html), has something to say about this. ..

Yes, I know that DLTs work with pairs of texts where one is a human-translated version of the other. And, in that post, I’m not interested in DL systems that learn games, such as Go. Why not? Because those games are entirely self-contained. They aren’t about some world external to the game itself. Human texts, the ones translated by DLTs, are about the world. I should have been explicit about this. “Classical” work in machine translation had hand-coded rules about language and meaning. Now, some of this work was pure engineering while other work sought to model human performance (insofar as we could figure it out). But, regardless of just what was done, the enterprise crumbled. But these more recent statistical systems, without hand-coded rules about syntax or semantics, they’ve succeeded. THAT’s the contrast that interests me. What’s in those human language texts is an encounter between mind and world. Old style MT attempted to model the mind’s half of the interaction, and failed. These new systems attempt to model nothing, just the statistical regularities in the encounter between mind and world. But just what is the mind’s component of the interaction between mind and world? Where does it come from? Much of it is the product of prior interaction between mind and world and I suppose we can trace that back through evolution as the nervous system itself reflects millions of years of interaction between living creatures and the world. One thing in the back of my mind when thinking about these problems is this: What’s the world have to be like if it is to be intelligible? I’ve concluded that the world must be “lumpy.” A world that’s “smooth and continuous” would be very difficult to “parse”. What do I mean? Consider all the mammals. While a mouse is quite different from a rhinoceros, and both are different from a giraffe, not to mention a bobcat, in contrast to, say, a pine tree, they’re all rather like one another. That is to say, they’re mammals, not trees. Similarly, pine trees, oak trees, and palm trees are rather different from one another, but, in contrast to, say, a bobcat, they’re rather like one another. They’re trees, not mammals. That’s what I mean by lumpy. And it’s not simply that mammals and trees look different, they also have very different modes of temporal existence, if you will. Mammals move around under their own power; trees stay put. And so forth. We’ve got lumpiness in the temporal domain. A lumpy world has scattered regions each of which is internally dense with activity. But the space between these regions is all but empty. Whatever it is that the DLT system is doing, it depends on the lumpiness of the world. The statistical regularities it's learning are the regularities characteristic of the densely populated lumps in the world. So, given some new text in, say, Japanese, it’s able to produce a corresponding French text that’s more or less in the appropriate region of the world of French language texts. It’s going to be deficient in some ways, which may or may not matter. You probably wouldn’t want to translate legal documents with such a system. Still, what these systems can do seems remarkable to me and worth thinking about. Do I think they’re ‘intelligent’ in any interesting sense? No. Do I think we know what intelligence is? No. Do I think they’re doing ‘real translating’? Of course not. Sure, we can say they’re fake translations, but does that labeling tell us anything about real translations? No. It’s just a line, and that line doesn’t erase the interesting performance of these systems. What about those classical MT systems, the ones based on laboriously hand-crafted rules? Real translations or fake translations?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2017 05:58:15 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: a not unexpected nor unjustified rant By now, I expect, readers of the U.S. Chronicle of Higher Education will have seen Timothy Brennan's rant, "The Digital-Humanities Bust" (Chronicle Review for 15 October). Professor Brennan seems rather confused, having lumped together many activities in many areas under the label of digital humanities. But in the highly charged, politically polarized environment in which he writes, a blast of his sort is, I'd guess, to be expected. It would take me too much time that I do not have to counter every exaggeration and error, but I do hope someone with time undertakes that. What strikes me are two things. First is how shopworn his questioning of value is. Digital humanities, when it was called 'humanities computing', was questioned, though more quietly and reasonably, even rather mournfully by practitioners and fellow travellers, numerous times from the late 1960s onward; its major activity, text-analysis, was declared a waste of time by one of the leading figures in the field in the early 1990s. The sociologist W. C. Runciman counselled patience in the Times Literary Supplement series "Thinking by Numbers" in 1971, saying that we might have to wait 300 years before the value of the activity for his discipline would become securely known. How long did it take for English literary studies to become accepted as a university discipline after it began at the turn of the 20th Century? I suspect a few decades. But then it did not challenge the academic establishment as much as computing does, I'd suppose. The second thing that strikes me is how utterly unsurprising the rant is, given the amount of noise from the bandwagons, the littering of promissory notes that are strewn about with nothing of substance behind them. Promises of salvation and revolution have to be backed with quite serious authority. Where is the understanding that our goal is questioning, not answering? Where are the questions?

Last year’s event saw participants from areas well outside the western US and given the theme—“The Many Faces of Digital Humanities”—we hope to see similar interest for this year’s event. Best, Brian -- Brian Croxall | Assistant Research Professor | Office of Digital Humanities | Brigham Young University ------- Utah Symposium on the Digital Humanities – Call for Presentations The Many Faces of Digital Humanities --Introduction The third Utah Symposium on the Digital Humanities—sponsored by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Merrill-Cazier Library at Utah State University—will be held February 24, 2018, at the Utah State University Eccles Conference Center. This event aims to continue the scholarly conversation in Utah and surrounding states about Digital Humanities theories, pedagogy, research, tools, and programs being developed in the region. --Call for Presentations The symposium’s planning committee is currently considering proposals for presentations to be included in the symposium. If you would like to propose a presentation, please send a 500-word abstract and preferred presentation format (please see “Presentation Formats” below) to the symposium co-chairs: rylish moeller and Dory Cochran by November 15, 2017 to the following Gmail account: dhutah3@gmail.com. --Presentation Topics This year’s theme is “The Many Faces of Digital Humanities.” In her TED Talk, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discusses the dangers of single stories: when we listen to only one story, we risk making assumptions about phenomena, cultures, and data based upon a single source. This can lead to what Adichie calls a “critical misunderstanding” of what we observe. DHU3 will look to avoid such misunderstandings by looking at the multiple stories, the many faces that make up the Digital Humanities. The committee welcomes proposals that explore the wide range of scholarly and pedagogical practices taking place under the rubric of digital humanities today, as well as proposals that explore digital humanities in relation to issues of inclusion, diversity, access, and privilege. This would include, but is not limited to: • The role of institutional privilege and funding in undertaking digital humanities work 
 • Digital humanities beyond the university 
 • Differential access to technology in our communities 
 • The role of race, gender, age, and sexuality in digital humanities and digital culture 
 • Digital humanities and conversations relating to disability and accessibility 
 • Post/anti-colonial digital humanities 
 • Digital humanities as/and social justice 
 • Archives, archival practices, and the digital humanities 
 • Library partnerships and other archival collaborations 
 --Presentation Format 
 This year the symposium will offer multiple presentation formats including the following: 
 • Poster 
 • Interactive panel (3-4 panelists, 75-minutes with a focus on interactive audience participation) 
 • Roundtable discussion (organized panel of 5-minute talks with time/space for discussion) 
 • Hands-on workshop (make a proposal!) 
 • Pecha Kucha (20 slides, 20-seconds each) • Make/hack/play (make a proposal! Let’s see what we can do!)
 • Lightning talk (5-minute talk) • Traditional 20-minute presentation (individual or panel) Given the purpose of this symposium, presentations should include a plan for audience participation and discussion. The symposium location will include audio/video equipment and Internet access. --Symposium Planning Committee Co-Chairs rylish moeller rylish.moeller@usu.edu English Department Utah State University Dory Cochran dory.cochran@usu.edu Merrill-Cazier Library Utah State University --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2017 00:13:33 +0000 From: Francesco Borghesi Subject: Sidney Digital Humanities: Monika Bednarek on Equipping students with digital tools for the humanities - Friday, 3rd of November 2017 In-Reply-To: <92B3D888F440F94893B16A9061C1711C8467A0B2@ntservexch1.kmsk.lan> Sydney Digital Humanities Research Group Seminar Equipping students with digital tools for the humanities – with a focus on text analysis. Monika Bednarek, University of Sydney As part of the new undergraduate curriculum, the Department of Linguistics will be offering a new, interdisciplinary (‘open pool’) unit of study entitled ‘Digital tools for the humanities’ (LNGS2628). The unit of study description is as follows: New technologies are developing at a rapid pace and have enabled significant breakthroughs in collecting, analysing and visualising the textual data that are at the heart of many subjects. This interdisciplinary unit introduces students to the many uses of computers and digital tools, with specific focus on the analysis of spoken and written text. The unit will teach students how to use computer tools for the collection or analysis of discourse/text, for example social media, literature, fieldwork data, corporate communication, foreign language, interviews, news discourse and many more. The emphasis is on free and easy-to-use tools and no prior technical expertise is expected or required. In this session I will start by offering my own thoughts on this unit, including ideas for assessment. I would then like to open the session up for input and discussion, including ideas for potential guest lectures from group members, thoughts on key readings, and discussion of the potential pitfalls as well as the opportunities of interdisciplinary teaching and learning. The session may also generate useful discussion about other future ‘Digital humanities’ units that could usefully complement this unit. ----- Associate Professor Monika Bednarek (Department of Linguistics) researches and publishes on language use in the mass media as well as on the relationship between language and emotion/opinion. Her research often utilises corpus linguistics, an approach that uses specialised software to analyse patterns in language quantitatively and qualitatively. Her books include The Discourse of News Values (2017) and News Discourse (2012, both co-authored with Dr Helen Caple, UNSW), The Language of Fictional Television (2010), Emotion Talk Across Corpora (2008), and Evaluation in Media Discourse (2006).

In-Reply-To: <20171024050937.10761810A@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard I suspect that the “Digital” in DH creates a novel environment for new form of ontology and epistemology—often through modeling (our favorite topic). From this perspective, the digital tools spill over into new forms of making meaning and knowledge within the Humanities. The critics make some valid points, but I think largely miss the digital catalysis. -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 Media: medium.com/@metaphorz Modeling: modelingforeveryone.com Twitter: @PaulFishwick > On Oct 24, 2017, at 12:09 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 379. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2017 05:58:15 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: a not unexpected nor unjustified rant > > > By now, I expect, readers of the U.S. Chronicle of Higher Education will > have seen Timothy Brennan's rant, "The Digital-Humanities Bust" > (Chronicle Review for 15 October).

Alan Liu, University of California, Santa Barbara, http://liu.english.ucsb.edu - Distinguished Professor in the English Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and an affiliated faculty member of UCSB’s Media Arts & Technology graduate program. Frans Mäyrä, University of Tampere, http://www.unet.fi - Professor of Information Studies and Interactive Media (specifically digital culture and game studies) In 2018, the conference seeks to extend the scope of digital humanities research covered, both into new areas, as well as beyond the Nordic and Baltic countries. In pursuit of this, in addition to the abstracts familiar from humanities traditions, we also adopt a call for publication ready texts as is the tradition in computer science conferences. Therefore, we accept the following types of submissions: 1. Publication ready textsof length appropriate to the topic. Accepted papers will be submitted to the CEUR-WS proceedings series for publication in a citable form. 1. Long paper: 8-12 pages, presented in 20 min plus 10 min for Q&A 2. Short paper: 4-8 pages, presented in 10 min plus 5 min for Q&A 3. Poster/demo: 2-4 pages, presented as an A1 academic poster in a poster session. 2. Abstractsof a maximum of 2000 words. Proposals are expected to indicate a preference between a) long, b) short, or c) poster/demo format for presentation. Approved abstracts will be published in a book of abstracts on the conference website. Submissions to the conference are now open at ConfTool: https://www.conftool.net/dhn2018/ Important dates The call for proposals opened on 28 August 2017, and the deadline for submitting proposals is extended until *5 November 2017* (was 25 October 2017)! Presenters will be notified of acceptance by 8 January 2018. For papers accepted into the citable proceedings, there is an additional deadline of 5 February 2018for producing a final version of your paper that takes into account the comments made by the reviewers. This year, the conference welcomes in particular work related to the following themes: History While the number of researchers describing themselves as digital historians is increasing, computational approaches to history have rarely captured the attention of those without innate interest in digital humanities. To address this, we particularly invite presentations of historical research whose use of digital methods advances the overall methodological basis of the field. Cultural Heritage Libraries, galleries, archives and museums are making vast amounts of cultural heritage openly digitally available. However, tapping into these resources for research requires cultivating co-operation and trust between scholars and heritage institutions, due to the cultural, institutional, legal and technical boundaries crossed. We invite proposals describing such co-operation – examples of great resources for cultural heritage scholarship, of problems solved using such data, as well as e.g. intellectual property rights issues. Games Humanities perspectives on games are an established part of the game studies community. Yet their relationship with digital humanities remains undefined. Digitality and games, digital methods and games, games as digital methods, and so on are all areas available for research. We invite proposals that address high-level game concepts like "fun", "immersion", "design", "interactivity", etc positioned as points of contact with the digital. Future We also invite proposals in the broad category of ”Future”. Accepted proposals will still fit in the overall context of the conference and highlight new perspectives to the digital humanities. Submissions may range from applications of data science to humanities research to work on human-machine interaction and ecological digital humanities. We also welcome reflections on the future of the digital humanities, as well as the societal impact of the humanities. Finally, the overarching theme this year is Open Science. This pragmatic concept emphasises the role of transparent and reproducible research practices, open dissemination of results, and new forms of collaboration, all greatly facilitated by digitalisation. All proposals are invited to reflect on the benefits, challenges, and prospects of open science for their own research. Call for workshops/panels and tutorials In addition to individual papers, the conference calls for interested parties to submit proposals for workshops/panels and tutorial sessions to be held preceding the conference. Workshops/panelsgather together participants around a particular subtopic, while tutorialspresent a useful tool or method of interest to the digital humanities community. Either can take the form of either a half or a full day session, and they generally take place the day prior to the conference. Proposals should include the session format, title, and a short description of its topic (max 2000 words) as well as the contact information of the person/s responsible. Proposals should also include the following: intended audience, approximate number of participants, and any special technical requirements.

The eScholarship redesign represents a significant departure from previous technology approaches to the site: the development team has consciously moved away from custom builds and toward more widely adopted, open source technology solutions and strategies used frequently both inside and outside the academic library domain. Selected highlights include: * A server built with Sinatra + Sequel * Isomorphic JavaScript via node.js for server-side prerendering * A "single-page" application built with React and various plugins With this release, eScholarship now offers a robust consortial model: a single aggregated repository with custom access layers and a strong brand identity for each of our ten UC campus sub-repositories. The site is designed to meet the WCAG 2.0 AA standard for ADA accessibility, scales automatically for mobile and tablet devices, and features a flexible, modular design throughout the site that allows for multiple content display options and customizable landing pages through a lightweight, extensible and integrated CMS. Post-release, the team will turn its attention to creating a public API. To learn more, visit the eScholarship redesign forum , read about the site's technical infrastructure at our Help Center, look at our code repository , see our feature list , or sign up for project updates . It is our hope that this new model will be of interest to the community. Please visit the new eScholarship site and feel free to be in touch with any questions and feedback that you may have.

We would be so grateful if you could take the time (approximately 20 minutes) to share your opinions and experiences on access, accessibility, dissemination, pedagogy and design of digital editions. We think this could serve as an excellent conversation starter within institutions and digital editing projects, and we hope that you will consider it in light of our added incentive: we are offering a raffle of 25 digital Amazon gift cards to people who *complete* the survey. These gift cards are in denominations of $20/20 Euros/20 GBP etc, as the case may be. We thank you in advance for your time and for contributing to this important discussion.

Once a proper obituary is available I will circulate it here. Donnchadh understood very early that the Web offered a means of wide access to the source materials for scholarly work and that such access would prove key to the long-term health of important but minority subjects. With support from a donor, in 1991 he founded CURIA (Cork University / Royal Irish Academy)'s Thesaurus Linguarum Hiberniae, in response to which Peter Flynn, at University College Cork, established the first Web server in Ireland for it and the ninth in the world, three months after the World Wide Web itself went online. Donnchadh went on to establish CELT, the Corpus of Electronic Texts (https://celt.ucc.ie). For more see my "Risky, experimental, emergent: the timeliness and genius of CURIA and CELT", in the Festschrift for Donnchadh, Clerics, kings and vikings (Four Courts Press, 2015), http://www.fourcourtspress.ie/books/2015/clerics-kings-and-vikings/. The Table of Contents for this volume will give you a good idea of how widely and deeply respected he was and how much he will be missed.

Best, Amirouche --- **************************************************************************** Call for Papers: Philosophy of Diagrams Special Track Diagrams 2018: 10th International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2018/home/cfp/phil/ Conference dates: 18th - 22nd June 2018 Location: Edinburgh, UK **************************************************************************** Diagrams 2018 is the tenth conference in the biennial series that started in 2000, which provides a united forum for all areas concerned with the study of diagrams. For 2018, we will have a special track devoted to philosophical issues pertaining to diagrams. Special theme topics include any research on the philosophy of diagrams, such as: - aesthetic properties of diagrams, - diagrams for syllogisms, - diagrams in mathematical practice, - diagrams in the mind, - historical aspects of diagrams, - iconicity and naturalness of diagrams, - imagination, - philosophy of notation, - reasoning and argumentation with diagrams, - semantics of diagrams, - semiotics of diagrams, - square of opposition, trees and graphs, - the nature of diagrams and diagramming, - the work of C. S. Peirce, - visualization and intuition. **************************************************************************** Submission Categories Diagrams 2018 will include presentations of refereed Papers, Abstracts, and Posters, alongside tutorials, workshop sessions, and a graduate symposium. We invite submissions for peer review that focus on any aspect of diagrams research, as follows: - Long Papers (16 pages) - Abstracts (3 pages) - Short Papers (8 pages) - Posters (4 pages – this is both a maximum and minimum requirement) All submissions should include diagrams where appropriate. Long Papers and Short Papers should report on original research contributions. Submissions to the Abstracts category should report on significant research contributions, which may have been published elsewhere (such submissions must clearly cite prior work) or are intended to be published elsewhere. The contribution should be of a similar level to that expected of a Long Paper. Submissions to the Abstracts category will not be included as an archival contribution in the proceedings. Accepted Abstract submissions will be offered the same presentation time in the program as Long papers. High quality Abstract submissions that nonetheless fall short of the standard required for full acceptance may be accepted for a short presentation. The Abstracts submission category is not intended for work-in-progress; the Poster submission category should be used for work-in-progress. Posters may report on original, yet early stage, research or on previously published research that is of interest to the Diagrams community (such submissions must clearly cite prior work). **************************************************************************** Deadlines For all Paper, Abstract and Poster submission categories the title and descriptive abstract (i.e. a summary of the contribution, up to 200 words) are required to be submitted before the main submission deadline, to permit the allocation of reviewers. In the case of submissions to the Abstracts category, the title and a brief descriptive abstract (up to 200 words) are still required in advance. All submission categories: pre-submission of title and descriptive abstract due 16th November 2017 Long Papers and Short Papers categories: full versions due 23rd November 2017 Abstracts and Posters categories: full versions due 28th November 2017 [...] _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 9DCF08268; Sat, 28 Oct 2017 09:23:41 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 529218257; Sat, 28 Oct 2017 09:23:38 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 35422824F; Sat, 28 Oct 2017 09:23:35 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171028072335.35422824F@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2017 09:23:35 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.390 cataloguing interfaces & linked data? digital humanities degree?

My PhD is focused on the use of Linked Data in the library and cultural heritage domain. I am currently in the process of distributing an online questionnaire, the aim of which is to investigate the types of cataloguing interfaces used in libraries and other cultural heritage institutions, as well as to explore the views of information professionals on the use of Linked Data in these domains. Suitable participants for this questionnaire are people with: - experience cataloguing library or cultural heritage metadata; - or experience working on a Linked Data project in a cultural heritage institution such as a library, archive or museum; - or research experience in library science, linked data, or the cultural heritage domain. The goal of my research is to develop a bespoke tool for librarians and related professionals that would allow them to interlink Linked Data datasets, thus any input from suitable participants would be greatly valued. Participants do not have to be in any way familiar with Linked Data in order to complete the questionnaire. If you would like to participate in this research, please follow this link to access the questionnaire: https://goo.gl/gbGZ1v Thank you for your help, Lucy --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 10:43:19 -0400 From: Jean Graham Subject: Advice for designing a digital humanities minor Hello friends, I’d very much appreciate any insights or experiences you can share concerning designing or running a digital humanities minor.

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 â'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.

EXTENDED DEADLINE: Submissions due 1st December 2017. Digital humanities is a new and emerging field, which brings together humanities scholars, social scientists and computer and information scientists to work on agendas of both fundamental and applied research. 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. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following: Application of semantic Web technologies in literary, linguistic, cultural, media, and historical studies Semantics, linked (open) data and ontology-driven applications for the exploration of online cultural heritage collections Semantic enrichment of digital cultural heritage media Text mining and image mining (e.g. stylometry, topic modelling, sentiment mining) for the digital humanities Knowledge extraction and knowledge discovery based on cultural heritage data The role of semantic web technologies in the digitization and curation of cultural heritage objects Software development, systems design and information modelling in the cultural heritage domain Semantics-driven interfaces and interaction with heritage objects The role of semantics in advanced interaction technologies, e.g. augmented reality, VR, 3D, gaming The role of semantics in infrastructures and virtual research environments for digital humanities User studies and practices with semantics and linked (open) data 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 A131, 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, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 3EAD18277; Sun, 29 Oct 2017 07:42:08 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 82D938270; Sun, 29 Oct 2017 07:42:05 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 2CA768270; Sun, 29 Oct 2017 07:41:59 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20171029064159.2CA768270@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sun, 29 Oct 2017 07:41:59 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.393 events: history and philosophy of programming 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: <20171029064207.4199.78721@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 393.

A historical awareness of the evolution of programming not only helps to clarify the complex structure of computing, but it also provides an insight in what programming was, is and could be in the future. Philosophy, on the other hand, helps to tackle fundamental questions about the nature of programs, programming languages and programming as a discipline. HaPoP 2018 is the fourth edition of the Symposium on the History and Philosophy of Programming, organised by HaPoC, Commission on the History and Philosophy of Computing. As in the previous editions, we are convinced that an interdisciplinary approach is necessary for understanding programming with its multifaceted nature. As such, we welcome participation by researchers and practitioners coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers, computer scientists and professional software developers. In addition to submissions in a wide range of areas traditional for HaPoP (outlined below), we especially welcome submissions that explore the nature of scientific progress with respect to computer programming as a discipline. We are interested in investigations concerning the methodology of computer programming, whether it follows a form of scientific method that allows it to increase its problem solving ability, whether its development more is akin to science, engineering or rather art, and what examples from the history of programming can be provided to support either argument. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm co-chairing the symposium with Prof. Ursula Martin, so if you have any questions regarding suitability of a topic, format of the extended abstract, or anything else, please contact one of us. The best way to contact me is to email tomas@tomasp.net.

Ironic, since HP was almost alone in Silicon Valley for hiring a curator thirty years ago to preserve its history 2. Ironic, that the curator (and subsequent ones) would not let historians or others have access to this tremendous history 3. Ironic, that HP is one of the digital electronics pioneers which offered a way to digitize this collection at any point in the last twenty years 4. Ironic, that a company so big, with such history, would have no sense of the value of what had been accumulated 5. Ironic, that the Computer History Museum here in town, never tried to get this archive Great lessons here I knew that Chuck had been involved with helping to scan and archive Cisco's history.

Tracy Fullerton , Director of the University of Southern California Game Innovation Lab, and her team set out to do that with Walden: A Game , which recently won Game of the Year and Most Significant Impact at the Games for Change Festival. In honor of the bicentennial of the birth of Thoreau (1817-1862), one of America's greatest naturalists and essayists, Fullerton is coming to Loyola University Chicago for a panel discussion about the game on Monday, November 13th, at 3 pm in the Klarchek Information Commons at Loyola Univeristy Chicago, 4th Floor. Walden, A Game is a six-hour, exploratory narrative that begins in the summer of 1845 when Thoreau moved to the Pond and built his cabin there. You follow in his footsteps, surviving in the woods by finding food and fuel and maintaining your shelter and clothing. At the same time as you strive to survive off the land, you are encouraged to explore the beauty of the woods and the pond, which hold a promise of a sublime life beyond your basic needs. And, you can interact with characters from Thoreau's life including mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson, sister Sophia Thoreau, editor Horace Greeley, activist A. Bronson Alcott, naturalist Louis Agassiz among others. Following Fullerton's talk, a panel of Loyola faculty and students from different disciplines across Loyola University Chicago will reflect on their experience playing the game. Panelists include: Lucas Coyne (History), Meghan Dougherty (Digital Communication), Elizabeth Hopwood (English and Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities), Chris Peterson (Institute for Environmental Sustainability), and George Thiruvathukal (Computer Science). The event is sponsored by the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities , the English Department, and the University Libraries of Loyola University Chicago. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Oct 2017 21:27:19 +0000 From: "Peursen, W.T. van" Subject: Livestream ETCBC≥40 celebrating 40 years of Bible and Computer Dear all, Livestream the 40th Anniversary Event of the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer, Tuesday 31 October at 2pm CET (9 AM EST)! Details and link: http://etcbc.nl/news/livestream-etcbc≥40/ This year the Eep Talstra Centre for Bible and Computer (ETCBC) celebrates its fortieth anniversary. It was in 1977 that Eep Talstra and his colleagues founded the Werkgroep Informatica, now the ETCBC, and began to use computers to analyze the Hebrew Bible. The work which started then continues today and into the future. The ETCBC organizes a special anniversary celebration: ETCBC≥40. The celebration takes place on 31 October with a special meeting featuring presentations by Talstra and others on the past four decades of "Bible and Computer", current projects, and future directions in Biblical Studies and Digital Humanities.

A thought, it is widely believed that President Donald Trump uses his tweets to distract people from the real issues. Perhaps these mindless attacks on DH serve a similar function. I know that in literary criticism in the United States there is a widespread sense of malaise that things are not going so well intellectually. The critical methods that were flourishing a decade or three ago seem to have become played out. So why not distract ourselves from this but launching an ideological attack on DH?

Since Namibia is a developing country, i want partnership with the digital classicists and introduce digital projects after my study. This will promote relationships between countries, investments and have a good businessÃ- opportunity in the Namibian industry. hi elizabeth, i am maurizio lana, from the executive committee of EADH (european association for digital humanities) which is part of the ADHO (alliance of digital humanities organizations). we would suggest you to subscribe to and then write to the GO:DH list (through their website www.globaloutlookdh.org) . There are a lot of people there, also African scholars active in DH. you can also get in touch with DHASA (Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa http://digitalhumanities.org.za/). the majority of the board members are South Africans but there also people from other countries. in Italy we have two masters in digital humanities: one in Pisa University (http://www.fileli.unipi.it/infouma/) one in Bologna University (http://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/ digitalhumanitiesdigitalknowledge/Pages/default.aspx) best maurizio -- voi che vivete sicuri nelle vostre tiepide case P.

Senchas ( /'ʃɛnχəs/ ) was the term used in medieval Irish for the accumulation of tales, history, tradition and other information which the learned classes drew on and composed to explore Ireland’s past. This website aims to provide the modern equivalent: Electronic Senchas, or eSenchas. It gathers together a comprehensive range of digital tools which can be used to study, analyse and interpret medieval Irish texts. eSenchas is intended as a resource for both specialists and non-specialists. The medieval Irish literary corpus offers a wealth of material to be explored: whether you are discovering this material for the first time, or wish to analyse a particular lexicographical detail, the digital resources provided here are designed to assist you.

Nowadays, historians prefer to speak about “forms of mathematization” in the early modern period (Roux ed., 2010, 2017), in recognition of the diversity of approaches, many of which are still in need of further investigation. Special attention was given to mathematical practices, in tune with the important research that has been done in the past couple of years to reveal the various “structures of practical knowledge” (Valleriani ed., 2017). What we propose in this special issue is to take stock of the recent developments, while opening new directions of inquiry regarding the disciplinary status of mathematical knowledge in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. We intend to look for “points of intersection,” forms of borrowing and blending between mathematical disciplines and natural philosophy. We are particularly interested in case studies which take into account both theoretical aspects *and* elements of practical knowledge. We would like to look, in particular, at how various forms of disciplinary intersections and blending shaped practices of measuring, instrument calibration and other quantification procedures from mid sixteenth century to the mid eighteenth century. *Journal of the Early Modern Studies* is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, dedicated to the exploration of the interactions between philosophy, science and religion in Early Modern Europe. *JEMS* publishes high-quality articles reporting results of research in intellectual history, history of philosophy and history of early modern science, with a special interest in cross-disciplinary approaches. The main language of the journal is English, although contributions in French are also accepted. We are seeking for articles no longer than 10.000 words. *Deadline for submission*: March 15, 2018 *Submission email*: dana.jalobeanu@celfis.ro For more information: https://emergenceofmathematicalphysics.wordpress.com/2017/10/31/cfp-journal-of-early-modern-studies/ _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 8C191829E; Thu, 2 Nov 2017 09:06:17 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 771928299; Thu, 2 Nov 2017 09:06:16 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B48DA8297; Thu, 2 Nov 2017 09:06:12 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171102080612.B48DA8297@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 09:06:12 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.401 digital is/is not...

Scholars are now blogging, learning to code, writing collaboratively, and mining vast digital libraries. Many of these changes are bound up with computers, and observers often characterize them collectively as "digital humanities." But so far, digital humanities hasn’t become a separate field or even a distinct school of thought.

The workshop is intended for graduate students and early career scholars. The idea of human sociality as a realm of actors, lines, stages and audiences is not particularly new. Since Jacques’ famous quote in Shakespeare’s *As You Like It* – “All the world’s a stage…” – the idea has grown from a baroque theatrical metaphor to a current concern in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, and a number of other areas. As the 20th-century sociologist Erving Goffman put it, “All the world is not, of course, a stage, but the crucial ways in which it isn’t are not easy to specify.” These different ways in which the world is or is not a stage, and in which human life in society is or is not performatively constructed, shaped and enforced, are the theme of this event. We are seeking contributions on this type of intersection of politics and performance. The theme is construed very broadly, so as to welcome works in social and political philosophy, social and political theory, aesthetics, ethics, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, performing arts and art history. Inter-disciplinary works are also welcomed. Topics might include: - norms and performance, - the aestheticization of politics, - post-democracy, - protest and performance, - discourse and performance, - the performative turn in social sciences, - gender performativity, - linguistic performance, - performance and discourse analysis. This list is non-exhaustive. Presentations should have up to 20 minutes and will be followed by up to 15 minutes of discussion. Abstracts of no more than *800 words* should be submitted by *November 30th, 2017* via the online form at https://sites.google.com/view/politicsandperformance/submissions. Accepted applicants will be contacted in mid-December by e-mail. Further questions or comments may be sent to politicsandperformance@gmail.com. This workshop is organized by the Philosophy Departments of Université de Montréal, Canada and the Catholic University of Porto Alegre (PUCRS), Brazil. Selected works will be invited for publication in a special issue of *Intuitio*, the Graduate Students’ Philosophy Journal at PUCRS. *Appel de proposition* POLITIQUE ET PERFORMANCE ATELIER DE CYCLES SUPÉRIEURS Université de Montréal, Canada 19 janvier 2018 https://sites.google.com/view/politicsandperformance L’Université de Montréal et la PUCRS vous invitent à soumettre une proposition pour l’atelier des cycles supérieurs Politique et performance qui se tiendra le 19 janvier 2018 à Montréal, Québec, Canada. L’atelier est destiné aux étudiant.e.s de maîtrise et de doctorat ainsi qu’aux chercheuses et chercheurs en début de carrière. L’idée de la socialité humaine comprise comme un domaine formé d’acteurs, de répliques, de scènes et d’audience n’est pas particulièrement nouvelle. Depuis la fameuse réplique de Jacques dans *Comme il vous plaira* de Shakespeare — « Le monde entier est un théâtre, et tout le monde, hommes et femmes y sont acteurs » — l’idée a grandi d’une métaphore du théâtre baroque vers un enjeu actuel de la philosophie, de la sociologie, de l’anthropologie et de plusieurs autres domaines. Comme le dit le sociologue Erving Goffman, « le monde entier n’est évidemment pas un théâtre, mais les formes cruciales par lequel il ne l’est pas ne sont pas facile à spécifier. » Ces différentes façons dans lesquelles le monde n’est pas un théâtre et dans lesquelles la vie humaine en société n’est pas construite, formée et renforcée performativement sont les thèmes de cet atelier. Nous cherchons des contributions qui travaillent sur cette intersection de la politique et de la performance. La thématique est entendue largement afin d’accueillir des propositions en philosophie sociale et politique, en esthétique, éthique, sociologie, anthropologie, linguistiques, arts de performance et histoire de l’art. Les propositions multidisciplinaires sont les bienvenues. Exemples de sujets possibles : - Normes et performance, - L’esthétisation de la politique, - Post-démocracie, - Contestation et performance, - Discours et performance, - Le tournant performatif en sciences sociales, - Performativité de genre, - Performance linguistique, - Performance et analyse de discours. Cette liste n’est pas exhaustive. Les présentations seront d’une durée maximale de 20 minutes et seront suivies d’une période de 15 minutes de discussion. Les résumés d’une longueur maximale de *800 mots* doivent être soumis avant le *30 novembre 2017* par l’entremise du formulaire en ligne disponible à cette adresse : https://sites.google.com/view/politicsandperformance/submissions. Les candidatures retenues seront contactées à la mi-décembre par courriel. Toute question additionnelle peut être envoyée à l’adresse suivante : politicsandperformance@gmail.com. Cet atelier est organisé par le département de philosophie de l’Université de Montréal et par l’Université Catholique de Porto Alegre (PUCRS), Brésil. Les travaux sélectionnés seront invités à publier dans une édition spéciale de Intuito, le journal des étudiants diplômés de PUCRS.

This event aims to continue the scholarly conversation in Utah and surrounding states about Digital Humanities theories, pedagogy, research, tools, and programs being developed in the region. Call for Presentations The symposium’s planning committee is currently considering proposals for presentations to be included in the symposium. If you would like to propose a presentation, please send a 500-word abstract and preferred presentation format (please see “Presentation Formats” below) to the symposium co-chairs: rylish moeller and Dory Cochran by November 15, 2017 to the following Gmail account: dhutah3@gmail.com. Presentation Topics This year’s theme is “The Many Faces of Digital Humanities.” In her TED Talk, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie discusses the dangers of single stories: when we listen to only one story, we risk making assumptions about phenomena, cultures, and data based upon a single source. This can lead to what Adichie calls a “critical misunderstanding” of what we observe. DHU3 will look to avoid such misunderstandings by looking at the multiple stories, the many faces that make up the Digital Humanities. The committee welcomes proposals that explore the wide range of scholarly and pedagogical practices taking place under the rubric of digital humanities today, as well as proposals that explore digital humanities in relation to issues of inclusion, diversity, access, and privilege. This would include, but is not limited to: • The role of institutional privilege and funding in undertaking digital humanities work • Digital humanities beyond the university • Differential access to technology in our communities • The role of race, gender, age, and sexuality in digital humanities and digital culture • Digital humanities and conversations relating to disability and accessibility • Post/anti-colonial digital humanities • Digital humanities as/and social justice • Archives, archival practices, and the digital humanities • Library partnerships and other archival collaborations Presentation Format This year the symposium will offer multiple presentation formats including the following: • Poster • Interactive panel (3-4 panelists, 75-minutes with a focus on interactive audience participation) • Roundtable discussion (organized panel of 5 minute talks with time/space for discussion) • Hands-on workshop (make a proposal!) • Pecha Kucha (20 slides, 20-seconds each) • Make/hack/play (make a proposal! Let’s see what we can do!) • Lightning talk (5-minute talk) • Traditional 20-minute presentation (individual or panel) Given the purpose of this symposium, presentations should include a plan for audience participation and discussion. The symposium location will include audio/video equipment and Internet access.

Benzon" Subject: Abstract Patterns in Stories: From the intellectual legacy of David G. Hays I’ve uploaded another paper. I’ve copied the abstract, table of contents, and the final section into this email. You can download the paper as follows: Academia.edu: https://www.academia.edu/34975666/Abstract_Patterns_in_Stories_From_the_intellectual_legacy_of_David_G._Hays SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=3060605 http://ssrn.com/abstract=3060605 Research Gate: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/320673318_Abstract_Patterns_in_Stories_From_the_intellectual_legacy_of_David_G_Hays Abstract Coleridge’s “Kubla Khan” exhibits nested structures suggesting an underlying computational process. Seeking to understand that process I joined the computational linguistics research group of David G. Hays in 1974, which was investigating a scheme whereby abstract concepts were defined over patterns in stories. Hays examined concepts of alienation; Mary White examined the beliefs of a millenarian community; and Brain Phillips implemented a system that analyzed short stories for the theme of tragedy. I examined Shakespeare’s sonnet 129, “The Expense of Spirit”, but was unable to apply the system to “Kubla Khan”. In 1976 Hays and I imagined a future system capable of ‘reading’ a Shakespeare play in some non-trivial manner. Such a system had not yet materialized, nor is it in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, I have been identifying texts and films that exhibit ring-composition, which is similar to the nesting evident in “Kubla Khan”. Do any story generators produce such stories? Contents 1957: Sputnik, Frye, and Chomsky 1 Computing “Kubla Khan” 2 Abstract concepts as patterns over stories 3 Reading Shakespeare 7 Reworking the model 7 The Expense of Spirit 8 Prospero or bust 11 In search of ring-form texts 12 The singularity is now 15 References 16 The singularity is now Let’s go back to the beginning. As a child my imagination was shaped by Walt Disney, among others. Disney, as you know, was an optimist who believed in technology and in progress. He had one TV program about the wonders of atomic power, where, alas, things haven’t quite worked out the way Uncle Walt hoped. But he also evangelized for space travel. That captured my imagination and is no doubt, in part, why I became a fan of NASA. I also watched The Jetsons, a half-hour cartoon show set in a future where everyone was flying around with personal jetpacks. And then there’s Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey, which came out in 1969, which depicted manned flight to near-earth orbit as routine. In the reality of 2017 that’s not the case, nor do we have a computer with the powers of Kubrick’s HAL. On the other hand, we have the Internet and social media; neither Disney, nor the creators of The Jetsons, nor Stanley Kubrick anticipated that. The point is that I grew up anticipating a future filled with wondrous technology. By mid-1950s standards, yes, we do have wondrous technology. Just not the wondrous technology that was imagined back then. One bit of wondrous future technology has been looming large for several decades, the super-intelligent computer. I suppose we can think of HAL as one instance of that. There are certainly others, such as the computer in the Star Trek franchise, not to mention Commander Data. For the last three decades Ray Kurzweil has been promising such a marvel under the rubric of “The Singularity”. He’s not alone in that belief. Color me skeptical. But here’s how John von Neumann used the term: “The accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, give the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue” [28]. Are we not there? Major historical movements are not caused by point events. They are the cumulative effect of interacting streams of intellectual, cultural, social, political, and natural processes. Think of global warming, of international politics, but also of technology, space exploration – Voyager 1 has left the solar system! – and the many ways we can tell stories that didn’t exist 150 years ago. Have we not reached a point of no return? The future is now. Oh, I’m sure there are computing marvels still to come. Sooner or later we’re going to figure out how to couple Old School symbolic computing with the current suite of machine learning and neural net technologies and trip the lights fantastic in ways we cannot imagine. That day will arrive more quickly if we concentrate on the marvels we have at hand rather than trying to second guess the future. We are living in the singularity.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 2 Nov 2017 08:44:17 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: noise in the Chronicle What makes the current round of (shall we be both polite by calling it) debate in the Chronicle so frustrating as well as silly is that the positions taken and opinions voiced are musty with age and were just as beside the point when they were new. The history of the subject from the 1960s to the present teaches that this 'debate' goes nowhere except in circles. Further thought would suggest that looking into the questions being asked in digital studies and how they are being asked would be far more productive. But to be heard and have the quiet of mind to think through the questions which would come up were real debate rather than rant the order of the day are made rather difficult amidst such noise. I would say: what matters is the work, and in the work what matters is the questioning. For orientation to the present take a look at the latest pamphlet of the Stanford Literary Lab (circulated here this morning) and read Laura Mandell's blog post, "Experiencing the Bust" (http://idhmc.tamu.edu/node/191). Having done that, for orientation to the past read through the journal Computers and the Humanities from Louis Milic's "The Next Step" (1966, vol 1.1) to Rosanne Potter's "Statistical Analysis of Literature" (1991, vol 25.4), esp the subsection "The Philosophical Essays", pp. 402-7. Or, if you haven't the spare couple of weeks, just those two articles. Then read Busa's "The Annals of Humanities Computing" (1980). Some very good questions and a real sense of direction will surface. Comments?

Operationalizing Aby Warburg’s Pathosformeln” Leo Impett, Frenco Moretti https://litlab.stanford.edu/LiteraryLabPamphlet16.pdf “Totentanz” marks a few novelties in the work of the Literary Lab. Thematically, the pamphlet is a study of an art-historical concept, and suggests a possible strategy to pursue quantitative work on visual images. The research was conducted in Switzerland, at EPFL (the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), where the two authors are involved in digital humanities initiatives; like Pamphlet 14 – which was on film, and was developed at the University of Tartu – this study of Warburg enlarges the spectrum of our interests, and aims at bridging the surprisingly wide gap between computational work conducted in the United States and in Europe.

At the same time, new interlinked linguistic resources are being created to meet requirements for language technology (LT), leading to better federation, interoperability and flexible representation. In this context, lexicography constitutes a natural part of the Linguistic Linked (Open) Data (LLOD) scheme, currently represented by WordNets, FrameNets, and LT-oriented lexicons, ontologies and lexical databases. New attempts are underway to embed lexicography in a theoretical framework as part of developing a research paradigm and common standards for interoperability with LT systems and applications. The aim of this workshop is to explore the development of global standards for the evaluation of lexicographic resources and their incorporation into new LT services and other devices. This is the second workshop organized by GLOBALEX, a young constellation of the major continental associations of lexicography, this time in cooperation with the Global WordNet Association and the newly established ELEXIS project. The focus of GLOBALEX 2018 is Lexicography and WordNets. It seeks to promote cooperation with related fields of LT for all languages worldwide, and is intended to bridge existing gaps within and among such different research fields and interest groups. MAIN TOPICS The workshop will feature the main topic of Lexicography and WordNets, as well as these topics: · Lexicography in the age of globalization and digitization · Lexicography-assisted language learning and translation · Lexicographic integration of NLP tools and corpora · Lexicography and LT for under-resourced languages · Lexicography and Terminology · Lexicography and the Multilingual Digital Single Market · Lexicography and Linguistic Linked (Open) Data · Lexicography and the Semantic Web · Lexicography and Knowledge Systems · Lexicography and Artificial/Augmented Intelligence AUDIENCE · Lexicographers and dictionary makers · Computational and corpus linguists · NLP researchers and engineers · Terminologists · Big data analysts · Reference scientists and knowledge system managers SUBMISSION DETAILS There are two types of submissions: · Abstract (500-1,000 words) OR · Full paper (6-10 pages) For formatting guidelines for full papers, please use the LREC submission format. Both abstracts and full papers will address any of the topics included in this CfP, but full papers have the advantage of presenting the authors’ work and ideas at a greater level of detail. All submissions must be received by the deadline below and will be reviewed by experts in the field. Accepted proposals will be invited (but not required) to submit the full paper for publication in the workshop proceedings. The submission START webpage will be announced in due course. IMPORTANT DATES Submission deadline: January 10, 2018 Notification of acceptance: February 2, 2018 Camera-ready papers: March 2, 2018 GLOBALEX Workshop: May 8, 2018 CONTACT globalex2018@globalex.link [...] _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id A7B8082A3; Fri, 10 Nov 2017 09:11:32 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 75A4982A1; Fri, 10 Nov 2017 09:11:31 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id F32F78286; Fri, 10 Nov 2017 09:11:28 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171110081128.F32F78286@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2017 09:11:28 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.410 drought, then flood 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: <20171110081132.23840.85119@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 410.

Mellon Foundation to assess the potential for the archival collection and scholarly study of digital assets associated with today’s trade publishing and bookmaking. The fact is that nearly all printed books now begin—and for many practical purposes end—their lifecycles as digital files that are produced and managed by designers, editors, publishers, packagers, and printers. The printed book that we hold in our hands is just one of the outputs that can be derived from these digital assets, which are also used to produce ebooks and Web-ready texts. In particular, the role of Adobe InDesign and other software tools is not well understood outside of the industry. And yet, this is where the book stops being a manuscript and starts becoming a book, by way of its transformation into a prescribed set of digital assets which in addition to the text may include stylesheets, fonts, metadata, images, and other design elements. Led by principal investigator Matthew Kirschenbaum, this project represents the first organized attempt to put ambassadors from the scholarly communities traditionally invested in safeguarding and studying the material history of bookmaking into contact and conversation with thought leaders and influencers from the contemporary publishing world. The centerpiece of the project will be a convening to bring those figures together in New York City in early 2018; Kirschenbaum’s efforts will also be supported by site visits to observe the bookmaking process as it unfolds across different settings, and interviews with industry experts. Findings for scholars, archivists, and publishers will be presented in a white paper made publicly available in late 2018. “Digital technologies have forever altered publishing workflows,” commented BISG executive director Brian O’Leary. “We’re looking forward to working with Professor Kirschenbaum to explore current practice and its impact on our ability to preserve content for future generations.” “This project represents an exciting extension of MITH’s long-standing interest in preserving born-digital culture,” said Trevor Muñoz, MITH interim director. “We’re delighted to partner in this effort.” Karla Nielsen, curator at Columbia University’s Rare Book and Manuscript Library, added, “For a long time publishers' archives weren't collected systematically, but now scholars are very grateful for the more complete records of earlier firms that we have, such as those of Cambridge University Press. Research libraries are just beginning to collect born-digital materials produced by publishers and this initiative will help us to understand how to do that so that there is a record of this moment of profound media change.” The Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities is a leading digital humanities center that pursues disciplinary innovation and institutional transformation through applied research, public programming, and educational opportunities. The Book Industry Study Group is the leading book trade association for standardized http://bisg.org/store/ best http://bisg.org/store/ practices, research http://bisg.org/page/research and http://bisg.org/page/research information, and events.

Its yearly symposia take a hands-on approach to the subject of implementing Linked Open Data—the mechanism by which digital resources can be connected through having something in common (be it place, person, time, or some other entity). Bringing together a diverse group of researchers, Linked Pasts facilitates pragmatic developments in the production, curation and use of historical data in academia and cultural heritage more broadly. Linked Pasts III @Stanford uses the structure of real-world use cases, provocations and breakout groups to address the challenges of linking people, their works, and place in time. It will be of interest to anyone working with digital data and looking to make their resources more discoverable and usable. Linked Pasts III provides a unique opportunity for scholars, technologists, librarians, and archivists to explore, build and shape linked data practices together."

To further this end, there will be funds available to assist or offset the costs of travel. Further details will be forthcoming soon, but please email us [dh@msu.edu] with any questions or clarification. Call for Proposals Deadline to submit a proposal: Friday, December 15, 11:59pm EST Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH into its third year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions, values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form manifests a critical perspective on the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, endangered data, and the digital divide. We view the 2018 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Michigan State University has been intentionally global for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. (http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/ ) For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix, a digital humanities and social science center at MSU (http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/), has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships and capacity building (http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/). WIDE has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 (http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/). Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics.

I’m delighted to share that news and the prize citation with this list. Congratulations Erica Robles-Anderson and Patrik Svensson! Winner: Erica Robles-Anderson and Patrik Svensson. “’One Damn Slide After Another’: PowerPoint at Every Occasion for Speech.” Computational Culture (January 15, 2016). Prize Citation: In “’One Damn Slide After Another’: PowerPoint at Every Occasion for Speech,” Erica Robles-Anderson and Patrik Svensson provide a highly original and insightful history of PowerPoint’s design, development, and use. They convincingly argue how PowerPoint has become a dominant and indispensable medium for communication, yet like many other forms of ubiquitous software programs and packages it has undergone minimal critical analysis. As such, the conditioning of knowledge production with PowerPoint is overlooked, and once distinct situations and settings such as classrooms, press conferences, and church sermons become more alike. Overall, their article stands out for astutely engaging with communication theory, as well as making significant IT history and historiographical contributions by analyzing PowerPoint within the context of precursor technologies such as the DuPont Chart Room, white boards, and overhead projectors. About the Mahoney Prize: The Mahoney Prize recognizes an outstanding article in the history of computing and information technology, broadly conceived. The Mahoney Prize commemorates the late Princeton scholar Michael S. Mahoney, whose profound contributions to the history of computing came from his many articles and book chapters. The prize consists of a $500 award and a certificate. For the 2017 prize, articles published in the preceding three years (2014, 2015, and 2016) are eligible for nomination. The Mahoney Prize is awarded by the Special Interest Group in Computers, Information, and Society (SIGCIS) and is presented during the annual meeting of our parent group, the Society for the History of Technology.

Then please consider this project. We’re looking for submissions from across the Humanities internationally. Please share widely! Call for Participation: The Digital Dissertation: History, Theory, Practice A database and ebook project: http://bit.ly/2hxIiUe http://bit.ly/2hxIiUe Abstract submission: 12 January 2018 Virginia Kuhn, Kathie Gossett (eds.) Humanities scholars recognize the growing importance of digital media in knowledge production and distribution. However, recognition does not imply acceptance. How does one negotiate digital scholarship in an academy that remains largely print based in its outputs? The most valued scholarship is still the book, monograph, or journal article, and this not only limits the audience for humanities research to university scholars, but also limits its forms of argumentation to a primarily Western, linearly structured way of thinking. That is, relying on one mode of communication limits what can be said and to whom it can be said, making the humanities insular rather than allowing it to take advantage of opportunities to communicate with the broader public. In their study, The Responsive PhD, The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, argues that “scholarship is the heart of the doctorate” and that programs need to ask “What encourages adventurous scholarship? What retards and discourages it?” Adventurous scholarship requires “new paradigms,” which demand an examination of the often unarticulated philosophies that govern what qualifies as legitimate scholarship. How do these “new paradigms” play out in the context of the dissertation? While digital dissertations have been around for twenty years or more, the precise processes by which they are defined, created and defended remain something of a mystery. Is an interactive pdf significantly different than its paper-based counterpart? What specific possibilities can a digitally networked environment offer that are impossible without its affordances? How are dissertation committees able to gauge the quality of natively digital work? What support systems and processes do students need to complete these types of projects? How do precedents prove helpful in defending one’s choice to create a digital dissertation? How do digital projects change the ways faculty members advise dissertations? This project, The Digital Dissertation: History, Theory, Practice, will consist of a definitive database of digital dissertation projects as well as an ebook whose chapters explore the larger implications of digital scholarship across institutional, geographic and disciplinary divides. Have you completed or advised a digital dissertation? Then please consider this project. There are two ways to participate: 1. Complete this brief survey about the work (which will form a database) by January 12, 2018. 2. Complete this brief survey about the work (which will form a database for others) and submit a 300--500 word proposal by January 12, 2018 for a chapter in the e-book which responds to the most salient issue/s surrounding the digital dissertation and the ways that students and committee members managed the possibilities and obstacles inherent in this type of work. We imagine these chapters as being 3000 to 5000 words in length and due on May 11, 2018. Authors will be notified in early February. Please send proposals and/or any questions about the project to Kathie Gossett (kegossett@ucdavis.edu ) and Virginia Kuhn (vkuhn@cinema.usc.edu ). _______ Virginia Kuhn, PhD Associate Professor of Cinema Media Arts + Practice Division School of Cinematic Arts University of Southern California http://virginiakuhn.net/ Twitter: @vkuhn --[4]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sun, 5 Nov 2017 00:45:52 +0000 From: Matthew Steven Hayler Subject: Collection on Teaching Digital Cultures Dear All, I'm editing a collection on teaching digital cultures and we're currently seeking further articles - https://www.nature.com/palcomms/for-authors/call-for-papers#digital-cultures If you teach/have taught any aspect of digital culture then we'd love for you to share your experience as the field develops - the collection will act as a state of the field, and also as a source of inspiration for tutors new to this area.

Clement" Subject: CFP: "Data Cultures, Culture as Data" - Special Issue of Cultural Analytics In-Reply-To: CFP: "Data Cultures, Culture as Data" - Special Issue of Cultural Analytics Guest editors - Amelia Acker & Tanya Clement, University of Texas at Austin "Mathematically, visually, and narratively, it matters which figures figure figures, which systems systematize systems" Donna Haraway Environmental Humanities 6 (2015), p. 160. http://culturalanalytics.org/2017/10/cfp-data-cultures- culture-as-data-special-issue/ Data have become pervasive in research in the humanities and the social sciences. New areas, objects, and situations for study have developed; and new methods for working with data are shepherded by new epistemologies and (potential) paradigms shifts. But data didn't just happen to us. We have happened to data. Karen Barad writes that "We are responsible for the world in which we live not because it is an arbitrary construction of our choosing, but because it is sedimented out of particular practices that we have a role in shaping" (102). Yet where is our agency in that responsibility? What is the role we play in the data cultures/culture as data we form around sociomaterial practices? How can we better understand how these practices effect, and affect, the materialization of subjects, objects, and the relations between them? How can we engage our data culture in practical, critical, and generative ways? In every field, boundaries have been drawn between data and human as if making meaning with data is innocent work, but these boundaries are never innocent. Questions are emerging about data cultures and culture as data—urgent questions that range across concerns with the datafication of culture including the codification (or code-ification) of social and cultural bias; the integrity of data and of human agency, subjectivity, and identity. This special issue of Cultural Analytics invites responses to these concerns. We invite submissions related (but not limited) to: *Proximity and distance between the creation of data and its collection *The nature of data as object or content *Modes of data circulation; dissemination and preservation *Data audiences *Histories and imaginary data futures *Data expertises and folkways *The environmental impact of data work *Data and technological progressivism *Data Accessibility and ethics *Data ontologies *The cultivation, taming, cleaning, and standardization of data *The ethical and social implications of data mining *The cultures, communities, and consciousness of data production *Data literacies Contribution Types Research or theory articles (7,000 to 8,000 words) Data reviews or Case studies of datasets (2,000 to 3,000 words, including visualizations or demonstrations) Opinion pieces (4,000 to 5,000 words) Timetable for Submissions Deadline for abstracts (250-500) -- early November 15, 2017 Deadline for paper submissions - June 15, 2018 Deadline review papers - August 15, 2018 Deadline revised papers - October 15, 2018 Publication of special issue December 1, 2018 Submission Details Send abstracts and submissions to: cultures.data@gmail.com Contact For more information please contact: Amelia Acker aacker [at] ischool.utexas.edu or Tanya Clement tclement [at] utexas.edu -- Tanya E.

And chaos theory and complexity are very important. Those who are intrigued by the discussion of chaos in Cortada’s post might want to look at a working paper I’ve done: A Primer on Self-Organization: With some tabletop physics you can do at home . Here’s the abstract: Concepts of self-organization and complexity originating in statistical mechanics have proven useful in many disciplines. This paper gives an informal development of basic concepts of entropy, irreversibility, phase space, and self-organization using a bit of table-top physics anyone can observe. I placed ink droplets into a tumbler of water and photographed the evolution of this system over four hours. Vertical convention cells (self-organization) had appeared by eight (8) minutes but were almost gone by two (2) hours and twenty (20) minutes.

Benzon Subject: Abstract Patterns in Stories: From the intellectual legacy of David G. Hays | Bill Benzon - Academia.edu I prepared this paper for the first Workshop on the History of Expressive Systems (HEX01), November 14, 2017: Abstract Patterns in Stories https://www.academia.edu/34975666/Abstract_Patterns_in_Stories_From_the_intellectual_legacy_of_David_G._Hays Alternatively you can get it at SSRN: Abstract Patterns in Stories: From the Intellectual Legacy of David G. Hays Abstract: Coleridge's " Kubla Khan " exhibits nested structures suggesting an underlying computational process. Seeking to understand that process I joined the computational linguistics research group of David G. Hays in 1974, which was investigating a scheme whereby abstract concepts were defined over patterns in stories. Hays examined concepts of alienation; Mary White examined the beliefs of a millenarian community; and Brain Phillips implemented a system that analyzed short stories for the theme of tragedy. I examined Shakespeare's sonnet 129, " The Expense of Spirit " , but was unable to apply the system to " Kubla Khan ". In 1976 Hays and I imagined a future system capable of 'reading' a Shakespeare play in some non-trivial manner. Such a system had not yet materialized, nor is it in the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, I have been identifying texts and films that exhibit ring-composition, which is similar to the nesting evident in " Kubla Khan ". Do any story generators produce such stories?

New areas, objects, and situations for study have developed; and new methods for working with data are shepherded by new epistemologies and (potential) paradigms shifts. But data didn't just happen to us. We have happened to data. Karen Barad writes that "We are responsible for the world in which we live not because it is an arbitrary construction of our choosing, but because it is sedimented out of particular practices that we have a role in shaping" (102). Yet where is our agency in that responsibility? What is the role we play in the data cultures/culture as data we form around sociomaterial practices? How can we better understand how these practices effect, and affect, the materialization of subjects, objects, and the relations between them? How can we engage our data culture in practical, critical, and generative ways? In every field, boundaries have been drawn between data and human as if making meaning with data is innocent work, but these boundaries are never innocent. Questions are emerging about data cultures and culture as data—urgent questions that range across concerns with the datafication of culture including the codification (or code-ification) of social and cultural bias; the integrity of data and of human agency, subjectivity, and identity. This special issue of Cultural Analytics invites responses to these concerns.

The new deadline is Nov 28th 2017. Arabic, Chinese and Russian versions of the CFP will be soon available online. We remind you that the aim of the volume is to foster reflection on Digital Humanities outside the Anglophone and Western contexts. We're impressed by the number and quality of the proposals received so far, but we'd like to receive more, especially from less visible groups, countries and projects based in Middle-East, Asia, Africa and Latin America. We think that even more than mapping Western-funded projects on those cultures, it would be important to hear the voices of (and from) the local territories.

Digital Publishing for the Humanities: Some Theoretical and Methodological Remarks Public Lecture presented in collaboration with Fisher Library and the Department of Italian Studies. Presenter: Massimo Riva< https://vivo.brown.edu/display/mriva>, Brown University Date: Wednesday, 22 November 2017 Time: 4-5:30pm Location: Fisher Seminar Room 218, Level 2, Fisher Library Website: http://sydney.edu.au/intellectual-history/sdh/digital_publishing.shtml In the age of data mining, distant reading, and cultural analytics, scholars increasingly rely upon automated, algorithm-based procedures in order to parse the exponentially growing databases of digitized textual and visual resources. While these new trends are dramatically shifting the scale of our objects of study, from one book to millions of books, from one painting to millions of images, the most traditional outputs of humanistic scholarship— the critical edition of classic works from the past and the single author monograph—have maintained their institutional pre-eminence in the academic world, while showing the limitations of their printed format. Whereas, however, the reconfiguration of critical editions on the digital platforms has been the focus of extensive methodological discussion in the past two decades, also going through a number of innovative implementations, the monograph has lagged behind. Recent initiatives, such as the AHRC-funded Academic Book of the Future in the U.K. and the Andrew W. Mellon-funded digital publishing initiative in the U.S., have answered the need to envision new forms of scholarly publication on the digital platform, and in particular the need to design and produce a digital equivalent to, or substitute for, the printed monograph. Libraries, academic presses and a number of scholars across a variety of disciplines are participating in this endeavour, debating key questions in the process, such as: What is an academic book? Who are its readers? What can technology do to help make academic books more accessible and shareable without compromising their integrity and durability? Yet, a more fundamental question remains to be answered, as our own idea of what a “book” is (or was) and does (or did) evolves: how can a digital, “single-author” monograph, or, for that matter, a collaborative digital edition, effectively draw from the growing field of networked culture, without losing those characteristics that made them perhaps the most stable forms of humanistic culture since the Gutenberg revolution? This lecture will address these questions focusing on two pilot projects of the Brown University Digital Publishing initiative, generously supported by the Mellon Foundation. 2. Virtual Humanities Lab: Looking Ahead Workshop presented in collaboration with Fisher Library and the Department of Italian Studies. Presenters: Dino Buzzetti , Università di Bologna, and Massimo Riva , Brown University Date: Friday, 24 November 2017 Time: 10am-12:30pm and 2-4:30pm Location: Fisher Exhibition Meeting Room 1 (233), Level 2, Fisher Library Website: http://sydney.edu.au/intellectual-history/sdh/virtual.shtml This workshop aims to present and discuss future directions of the Virtual Humanities Lab, a Brown University-based initiative, which provides a portal for interdisciplinary projects in Italian Studies and a platform for the encoding and annotations of a mini-corpus of late Medieval and humanist texts, including: Giovanni Villani, Nuova Cronica; Giovanni Boccaccio, Decameron and Esposizioni sopra la Comedia di Dante; Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Oratio De Hominis Dignitate and Conclusiones Nongentae. It will showcase various features of the VHL and focus particularly on the Pico Project, which uses the VHL platform to allow scholars and students of the Renaissance humanist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494) to contribute to the translation and annotation of the some of his works from anywhere in the world in a collaborative digital setting. The workshop will provide an opportunity to address critical issues concerning the future of digital editing: the evolution of remote collaboration and text mining techniques to be employed for textual analysis. The workshop will be run by Dino Buzzetti and Massimo Riva, and facilitated by Francesco Borghesi (Department of Italian Studies).

My main corpus comprises of Empire family correspondences (1840-1898), and I wish to compare these with some inner-British family letters and see if the same phenomena exist in both. For the comparison to be as accurate as possible, I am looking for letter collections with the following specific characteristics: letters written and sent within Britain, between family members, over the years 1840-1900. The catch is I need to find them in transcribed form for quick analysis, and in some accessible format: PDF or online data project would be best. So far I have come across some prominent projects (Carlyle, Browning, Talbot, Darwin, Rossetti), but I am still looking for more to work with. I would be very grateful for any suggestion. Thank you kindly, and all the best Tamar tamar.rozett@mail.huji.ac.il --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 08:49:15 +0000 From: Max KEMMAN Subject: Survey on DH collaborations Dear Humanists, A distinguishing feature of DH is the collaboration between humanists and computational researchers. As part of my PhD research on digital history practices, I therefore am conducting an online survey to investigate the practices of collaboration. If you are part of a DH collaboration, I would like to kindly ask you to participate in this survey. This survey is held to gain an overview of how collaborations in digital history and digital humanities are organised. Questions will focus on the organisation of people in the collaboration, the physical space, and the time frame of the collaboration. Filling out the survey should take about 10 minutes. All data will be reported anonymously. The anonymous data will be made available open access later. To participate in the survey, please follow www.maxkemman.nl/survey To learn more about the study, please see www.maxkemman.nl/aboutsurvey To help distribute the survey on twitter, please retweet https://twitter.com/MaxKemman/status/930437258112577536 If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me via max.kemman@uni.lu.

The conference is an interdisciplinary gathering of social media researchers, practitioners, and analysts from around the world. The 2018 conference is hosted by the Centre for Business Data Analytics at the Copenhagen Business School. In 2012, in the wake of Occupy and the Arab Spring, the #SMSociety community explored networked influence and virality, and saw social media and viral events as a democratizing force. Fast forward five years and we find ourselves in quite a different, some would argue, darker social media landscape where those same democratizing forces are now being exploited in ways we could not foresee. With the rapid change on social media platforms and their affordances, the heightened emphasis on mobile and visual communication, the rise of bots, and the increased participation of state actors, we believe it is time to revisit the ideas of Networked Influence and Virality once more! Powered by networked influence and made possible by privately owned social media platforms, we are said to be in a sharing economy. We are now owning less and sharing more, giving and receiving crowdsourced content, adapting, innovating, remaking, and re-sharing original and remixed materials. New attitudes, practices, and legal precedents about ownership, rights, and information evaluation are emerging with the growing use of social media. The joys of sharing and connecting through social media—as amateur music videos inspire responses and the sharing of cute animal videos brings joy to millions—are tempered with concerns about the manipulation and exploitation of social media platforms. Hateful, anti-social speech, coordinated misinformation campaigns (i.e. “fake news”) and “false flag” operation by actors unknown now dominate the news cycle and compete for an opportunity to “go viral.” Considering the rapid changes in social media environments, use, and users, the conference organizers invite scholarly and original submissions that relate to the 2018 theme of “Networked Influence and Virality.” We welcome both quantitative and qualitative work which crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and expands our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially those that explore some of the questions and issues raised below: - How do ideas spread online? What are the outcomes of the viral spread of news, memes, content, and creative production? - Who are the new influencers and power players in the information landscape of social media? - How important are bots in this landscape? How do bots act as social actors? In what ways are they transforming social media? - Algorithmic filtering is now the norm on all major social media platforms; how has their implementation changed the user experience? - What are the impacts of misinformation and propaganda on elections, commerce, and the attention economy? - Is faster, frictionless communication still an ideal to strive for or have we gone too far? Do we need to reintroduce some frictions back to social media platforms? - How do corporate interests, activities, sales, and profit motivations drive or otherwise affect sharing practices? - What are the characteristics of contemporary social media practices that drive the need for new laws, sharing conventions, censorship, rights to be heard and to be forgotten? - Do social media users understand, or are they even aware of, the ethical considerations related to sharing, and re-mixing content on social media? - How do users evaluate information received through social media? - How does viral culture affect policy, power dynamics, corporations, activists, and personal interests? - What new methodologies, tools, and frameworks can researchers bring to bear in studying the flow of information on social media? - How do sharing, memes, and viral events contribute to theory-building about our society? ABOUT THE CONFERENCE: From its inception, the International Conference on Social Media & Society Conference (#SMSociety) has focused on the best practices for studying the impact and implications of social media on society. Our invited academic and industry keynotes have highlighted the shifting questions and concerns for the social media research community. From introducing media multiplexity and networked individualism with Caroline Haythornthwaite and Barry Wellman in 2010 and 2011, to measuring influence with Gilad Lotan and Sharad Goel in 2012 and 2013, to defining social media research as a field with Keith Hampton in 2014, to identifying our commitments as social media researchers in policy making with Bill Dutton in 2015, to exploring the future of social media technologies with John Weigelt in 2015, to highlighting the challenges of social media data mining in the context of big data with Susan Halford and Helen Kennedy in 2016; and more recently discussing the dark side of social media with Lee Rainie and Ron Deibert in 2017. Organized by the Social Media Lab http://socialmedialab.ca/ at Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University, the conference provides participants with opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers. The conference’s intensive three-day program features workshops, full papers, work-in-progress papers, panels, and posters.

This collection includes more than 400 texts written and translated by women, first published between 1526 and 1850 (for the current list of texts in WWO see here: http://www.wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo/texts/titleURLs.html). If you’d like more ideas about how you could use WWO in the classroom, we have a growing set of resources on teaching with Women Writers Online, including both assignments and syllabi (http://wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo/teaching/ ). We have also been piloting a program in which pedagogical partners collaborate with us to create activities, assignments, and syllabi. You can read more about the program and see some of the materials developed by our partners here: http://wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo/teaching/pedagogical-dev.html. These include assignments that use not only WWO but also Women Writers in Review (http://wwp.northeastern.edu/review/), an open-access collection of around 600 reviews, publication notices, and other documents that respond to texts by the authors in Women Writers Online. If you’re interested in becoming a pedagogical partner yourself, please email me for more information. If you’d like to work with Women Writers Online prior to March, and you don’t have institutional access, we would be happy to set up a trial (more details on WWO licensing and trials are here: http://wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo/license/ ). And finally, if you have questions about any of the WWP’s publications, or suggestions for texts that we should add to our collections, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Thank you very much!

It’s envisaged that panelists will have the option to revise their contributions for publication after the conference, for a volume entitled *The Digital Futures of Graduate Study in the Humanities* that Gabriel Hankins, Simon Appleford and I are in the process of planning. So if you or someone you know has a perspective on this topic that isn’t given the airtime it deserves, please get in touch. All the best Anouk --- *Graduate Study in the Digital Humanities: Critical Assessments and Potential Futures* As an array of graduate certificate programs, MA-level programs, and doctoral programs in the field has emerged, the Digital Humanities seems to have passed from its moment of insurgency to a phase of institutionalization. But how is specific graduate-level work in these programs imagined, planned, and realized? What are the available models and options, and what do we know about their outcomes for both students and faculty? What has failed, and why? How might we reimagine current models of graduate education in order to address ongoing challenges to the humanities? How do the answers to these questions change in different national and transnational contexts? This panel seeks ten-minute position papers and provocations which open up these questions to those outside as well as inside the Digital Humanities community. We invite concrete institutional answers to such questions, and ones which critically assess both the available and the potential models. Contributions from those outside the US and UK, people of colour, postgraduate students, those in roles other than research and teaching, and early career scholars are especially welcome. Please send abstracts of 200-300w to Anouk Lang at anouk.lang@ed.ac.uk by Friday 24 November. --- Anouk Lang Lecturer in Digital Humanities, The University of Edinburgh School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures 50 George Square, 2.36, Edinburgh EH8 9LH anouk.lang@ed.ac.uk | @a_e_lang | http://aelang.net/ --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2017 14:48:08 -0500 From: Seth Denbo Subject: Teaching with #DigHist Last year, the American Historical Association's blog AHA Today http://blog.historians.org/ launched Teaching w/ #DigHist http://blog.historians.org/category/teaching-with-digital-history/ , a monthly series on using digital history projects and tools in the classroom. The series has explored teaching topics as diverse as the Civil Rights Movement http://blog.historians.org/2017/04/come-let-us-build-a-new-world-together-the-sncc-digital-gateway/ medieval charters http://blog.historians.org/2017/02/using-charters-to-teach-medieval-history/ , and 19th-century print culture http://blog.historians.org/2017/03/buzzfeed-going-viral-19th-century-america/ through digital history projects. We've also published posts on using digital tools such as Google Map http://blog.historians.org/2017/10/mapping-early-modern-world-google-maps-classroom/ and Carto http://blog.historians.org/2017/09/using-carto-create-maps-history-classroom/ for classroom assignments and projects. We would now like to invite contributors to the series. If you teach digital history, or even just use digital tools or projects in the classroom occasionally and have used an existing digital history project or tool to good effect, share your pedagogical methods with your fellow teachers.

OcEx seeks to break through the conceptual, institutional, and political barriers which have limited working with big humanities data by bringing together historical newspaper experts from different countries and disciplines around common questions. This is done by actively crossing the national boundaries that have previously separated digitised newspaper corpora through computational analysis and by illustrating the global connectedness of nineteenth-century newspapers in ways hidden by typical, national organisations of digital cultural heritage. You will work under the supervision of the project leader Jaap Verheul in the work package 'Conceptual Migration', which aims to model and visualise the conceptual migration and translation of texts across regional, national, and linguistic boundaries. The full research team consists of cultural historians and digital humanities scholars from consortium partners Northeastern University (USA), Universität Stuttgart (Germany), Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and University of Turku (Finland). You will be responsible for developing historical 'use cases' that demonstrate how the tools developed in the project can be used to trace, analyse, and visualise the migration and translation of ideas over regional and linguistic borders. This requires the ability to evaluate digital newspapers repositories and analytical software tools that are developed in the project. You will be based at the Cultural History section of the Department of History and Art History of Utrecht University, which provides a stimulating and internationally oriented research environment. Profile * You have completed a PhD in cultural history, media history, digital humanities, or in a related field; or a PhD dissertation in one of these fields already accepted by the PhD Examination Committee. * You have proven experience with digital tools and quantitative research methods. Previous work in the field of digital humanities is preferred. * You have an excellent track record and research skills, relative to experience, and excellent academic writing and presentation skills. * You have an international outlook and you have excellent oral and writing skills in English. Reading knowledge of one or more of the languages used in this project (Dutch, German, Finnish, Swedish or Spanish) is preferred. * You have the ability to work in an international, interdisciplinary team and you are willing to take responsibility for deliverables and deadlines in your work package. Aanbod You will be offered a Postdoc position during 15 months starting 1 January 2018. The starting salary ranges between € 3,238 and € 3,475 (gross monthly salary on a full-time basis depending on experience and qualifications (salary scale 10). Utrecht University offers a pension scheme, a holiday allowance of 8% per year, an end-of-year bonus of 8.3% and terms of employment. Conditions are based on the Collective Employment Agreement of the Dutch Universities. You'll find more information about working at Utrecht University here.

I'd like to share with you the following Call for Proposals for a creative residency to make a scholarly visual work that will be featured on one or more of the large-scale digital walls in the award-winning James B. Hunt Jr. Library. I thought it might be of interest for you or your network. If you know of someone whose work would be a good match for the project and who could benefit from participating, please feel free to share this CFP. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Markus Markus Wust Digital Research and Scholarship Librarian North Carolina State University Libraries Raleigh, NC ORCID: 0000-0001-5958-2058 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Application Deadline: 8:00am EST, January 3rd, 2018 Duration: 4-6 weeks Start date: Flexible, February through August, 2018 Stipend: $20,000 The NCSU Libraries invites proposals from artists, scholars, and creative technologists for a four-to-six-week residency to create immersive scholarly visual content for one or more of the large-scale digital walls in the award-winning James B. Hunt Jr. Library at NC State University in Raleigh. The residency is sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon-funded Visualizing Digital Scholarship in Libraries and Learning Spaces grant (“Immersive Scholar”), and is part of the NCSU Code+Art program. Residents are encouraged to interrogate the intersections of data, knowledge, and culture through visual expression. This residency offers an opportunity for the selected project to influence the way that people look at the university’s role in supporting data visualization and digital art, similar to the manner that the Hunt Library has started to change the way that people think about academic libraries in the 21st century. Libraries have long been places where people have explored new ways of interacting with information and data. The NCSU Libraries’ Code+Art program http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/projects/codeart continues this tradition by bringing an aesthetic eye to the increasing role of data in our lives by combining creative and computational thinking in a library’s physical spaces. Code+Art provides the lens that focuses this residency program. *Program Details* The resident will produce a large-scale work of digital art or visualization. Creations could include generative art or dynamic, data-driven visualizations of high aesthetic quality. The data underlying the piece may or may not be literally interpretable, depending on the resident’s scholarly approach. To generate broader impact and a larger audience, the work will: - Be open source - Follow principles of responsive design - Follow principles of universal design - Be documented using principles of literate computing - Be broadly distributed to other libraries and learning spaces with similar visualization facilities Additionally, the work should be scholarly output that is citable and impactful. NCSU Libraries staff and collaborators will explore with the resident innovative approaches to peer review, sharing, and credit for the work created during the residency. The work will be displayed on one or more of the Hunt Library’s large video walls: - Art Wall - the screen that welcomes visitors to the Library - iPearl Immersion Theater - the Library’s premier storytelling venue - Commons Wall - in the heart of the Library’s learning spaces - Visualization Wall - a unique shape that symbolizes the Library’s blend of physical and digital space Please see our Video Wall Guide for technical specifications of the walls. Additionally, the resident will have access to the Libraries’ full suite of spaces for creation and making . The resident must have sufficient knowledge required to produce the work described in their application for this residency. Experience in open web technologies is strongly preferred, but other technologies could be considered if the requirements for open source and broad distribution can be met. To further support the resident, the library will hire a student worker to assist the resident with content production. The resident can specify the student’s title and skill set. If additional technology skills are needed beyond what the student employee can provide, the residency stipend may be used to hire technical help. The residency includes a stipend of $20,000 that can be used to cover housing, travel, and other expenses incurred by the project. Women and historically underrepresented communities are especially encouraged to apply. *Support and Community Engagement* The resident will work closely with NCSU Libraries staff, who will facilitate engagement with the NC State community and the broader scholarly community. Libraries staff have expertise in visualization http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/do/visualization , making http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/services/makerspace , data management http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/do/data-management , and other areas of research support http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/services/researcher-support , and will be available to the resident for consultation. The resident will be expected to engage with the NC State community through a talk and/or workshop, to be determined and facilitated with Libraries staff. NC State University is a pre-eminent research enterprise that excels in science, technology, engineering, math, design, the humanities and social sciences, textiles, and veterinary medicine. Collaborations with NC State researchers and students will grow from the vision and needs of the resident, and can be facilitated by Libraries staff, who maintain deep relationships with the campus community. This residency is funded as part of a larger, “Immersive Scholar” grant. Immersive Scholar is a three-year effort funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop extensible models and programs for the creation and sharing of digital scholarship in large-scale and immersive visualization environments. The resident, therefore, will be part of a larger, national network of participating institutions and advisors . Work completed under this residency must be designed to be open source and will be shared to the grant’s participating cohort for display at their respective institutions. *Eligibility Requirements* - Participants within commuting distance will be preferred for this first of three residencies - Must be eligible to work in the U.S. - Must not be a currently enrolled student *Application* - Statement of interest (500 words or less) - Narrative of proposed work (500 words or less) - Description of spaces, technologies, and support needed for project (500 words or less) - Resume/CV - Online portfolio of past relevant works - 1 letter of reference *Selection and Notification Process* Proposals will be selected by the Immersive Scholar personnel based on the following criteria: - Creativity of proposal - Whether the proposal is extensible, desirable, and feasible for distribution to multiple visualization installations - Proficiency in web or creative coding technologies - Good collaboration skills - Value of proposed outcomes to digital scholarship Applicants may be contacted for an interview or a presentation of previous work. *Questions* Please see http://immersivescholar.org for more information about the grant and send inquiries to immersivescholar@ncsu.edu. *Submit applications through this Google Form . All applications must be submitted by 8:00am EST, January 3rd.* _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id E3D6F8417; Tue, 21 Nov 2017 09:25:32 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id E5A618295; Tue, 21 Nov 2017 09:25:31 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id E1E1D8297; Tue, 21 Nov 2017 09:25:26 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171121082526.E1E1D8297@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 21 Nov 2017 09:25:26 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.435 events: Sydney Digital Humanities for November 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: <20171121082532.6389.51206@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 435.

Digital Publishing for the Humanities: Some Theoretical and Methodological Remarks Public Lecture presented in collaboration with University Library and the Department of Italian Studies. Presenter: Massimo Riva, Brown University Date: Wednesday, 22 November 2017 Time: 4-5:30pm Location: Fisher Seminar Room 218, Level 2, Fisher Library Website: http://sydney.edu.au/intellectual-history/sdh/digital_publishing.shtml In the age of data mining, distant reading, and cultural analytics, scholars increasingly rely upon automated, algorithm-based procedures in order to parse the exponentially growing databases of digitized textual and visual resources. While these new trends are dramatically shifting the scale of our objects of study, from one book to millions of books, from one painting to millions of images, the most traditional outputs of humanistic scholarship— the critical edition of classic works from the past and the single author monograph—have maintained their institutional pre-eminence in the academic world, while showing the limitations of their printed format. Whereas, however, the reconfiguration of critical editions on the digital platforms has been the focus of extensive methodological discussion in the past two decades, also going through a number of innovative implementations, the monograph has lagged behind. Recent initiatives, such as the AHRC-funded Academic Book of the Future in the U.K. and the Andrew W. Mellon-funded digital publishing initiative in the U.S., have answered the need to envision new forms of scholarly publication on the digital platform, and in particular the need to design and produce a digital equivalent to, or substitute for, the printed monograph. Libraries, academic presses and a number of scholars across a variety of disciplines are participating in this endeavour, debating key questions in the process, such as: What is an academic book? Who are its readers? What can technology do to help make academic books more accessible and shareable without compromising their integrity and durability? Yet, a more fundamental question remains to be answered, as our own idea of what a “book” is (or was) and does (or did) evolves: how can a digital, “single-author” monograph, or, for that matter, a collaborative digital edition, effectively draw from the growing field of networked culture, without losing those characteristics that made them perhaps the most stable forms of humanistic culture since the Gutenberg revolution? This lecture will address these questions focusing on two pilot projects of the Brown University Digital Publishing initiative, generously supported by the Mellon Foundation. 2. Virtual Humanities Lab: Looking Ahead Workshop presented in collaboration with University Library and the Department of Italian Studies. Presenters: Dino Buzzetti, Università di Bologna, and Massimo Riva, Brown University Date: Friday, 24 November 2017 Time: 10am-12:30pm and 2-4:30pm (please contact Francesco Borghesi if you would like to partake in the 2-4:30pm session as it is intended for a limited number of participants) Location: Fisher Exhibition Meeting Room 1 (233), Level 2, Fisher Library Website: http://sydney.edu.au/intellectual-history/sdh/virtual.shtml This workshop aims to present and discuss future directions of the Virtual Humanities Lab, a Brown University-based initiative, which provides a portal for interdisciplinary projects in Italian Studies and a platform for the encoding and annotations of a mini-corpus of late Medieval and humanist texts, including: Giovanni Villani, Nuova Cronica; Giovanni Boccaccio, Decameron and Esposizioni sopra la Comedia di Dante; Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, Oratio De Hominis Dignitate and Conclusiones Nongentae. It will showcase various features of the VHL and focus particularly on the Pico Project, which uses the VHL platform to allow scholars and students of the Renaissance humanist Giovanni Pico della Mirandola (1463-1494) to contribute to the translation and annotation of the some of his works from anywhere in the world in a collaborative digital setting. The workshop will provide an opportunity to address critical issues concerning the future of digital editing: the evolution of remote collaboration and text mining techniques to be employed for textual analysis. The workshop will be run by Dino Buzzetti and Massimo Riva, and facilitated by Francesco Borghesi (Department of Italian Studies).

Manifestoes have been drafted, research teams gathered, chairs created, projects funded. Taking a moment to look back on the transformation of a field whose very definition is itself controversial might thus prove useful. Oxymoron for some, genuine revolution for others, ephemeral utopia, pragmatic choice or inevitable and lasting evolution, the digital humanities are far from a consensual area. However, at the heart of the various etymological and epistemological debates or sometimes parallel to them, digital humanities’ initiatives have been multiplying and English studies, i.e studies exploring the production and analysis of texts created in English, have been no exception. Consequently, this issue of Représentations dans le monde anglophone proposes to gather feedback from researchers from the various disciplines of French and foreign English studies in order to map out this digital migration of contemporary research at the level of its instruments, its objects, its fields of study and its methods (Bourdeloie 2014). To comply with the editorial line of the journal, this issue aims in particular at carrying out a reflection on the relationship between practices and discourse in the field of the digital humanities. Indeed, in its most frequent representation, research in the digital humanities is associated with notions of modernity, openness, objectivity, reliability, or even representativeness, but this vision coexists with other forms of representations, less canonical and sometimes more critical of the transformations related to this gradual digital migration in science at different stages of the research process, from the generation of corpora to the dissemination of results. Authors are therefore invited to present their projects whilst at the same time assessing their practical experience against their initial representations and expectations. Please send your abstracts (500 words approx.), in English or in French, before December 1, 2017 to Geraldine Castel at the Grenoble Alpes university (Geraldine.castel@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr). Revue en ligne ‘Représentations dans le monde anglophone’ (CEMRA, Université Grenoble Alpes) Les études anglophones au prisme des humanités numériques. A l’heure où les ‘humanités numériques’ semblent envahir le paysage de la recherche française et internationale, où des manifestes sont rédigés, des pôles et des chaires créés, des équipes rassemblées, des projets financés, faire un pas de côté pour tenter de prendre acte des changements en cours dans un champ dont la définition même est objet de controverse peut s’avérer délicat. Oxymore pour certains, véritable révolution pour d’autres, utopie éphémère, choix pragmatique ou évolution inévitable et durable, la question est loin d’être consensuelle. Pour autant, au cœur ou parfois en parallèle des différents débats étymologiques ou encore épistémologiques, les initiatives se réclamant des humanités numériques ou y étant associées de facto se multiplient, et les études anglophones en France et à l’étranger ne font pas exception. Par conséquent, ce numéro de la revue Représentations dans le monde anglophone se propose de rassembler des retours d’expérience de chercheurs issus des diverses disciplines des études anglophones françaises et étrangères afin d’étudier le cheminement lié à cette migration numérique amorcée au niveau des instruments de la recherche contemporaine, mais aussi des objets, des terrains et des méthodes (Bourdeloie 2014). En accord avec la ligne éditoriale de la revue, ce numéro vise en particulier à conduire une réflexion sur l’adéquation entre pratiques et discours dans le champ des humanités numériques. En effet, dans sa représentation la plus fréquente, la recherche en humanités numériques est notamment associée à des notions de modernité, d’ouverture, d’objectivité, de fiabilité, ou encore de représentativité mais cette vision coexiste avec d’autres représentations moins canoniques, parfois plus critiques des transformations afférentes à cette migration numérique progressive dans le domaine scientifique à différentes étapes du processus de recherche, de la constitution de corpus à la diffusion des résultats obtenus. Les auteurs sont donc appelés à présenter leurs projets tout en opérant ce croisement entre représentation initiale et expérience pratique.

KDL and SUP wish to collaborate with interested researchers in developing a scholarly product that achieves technical quality while benefitting, at the same time, from robust archiving, and a responsible sustainability and research data management plan.[1] Expressions of interest should: - Be innovative and experimental in proposing forms and formats for an enhanced and engaging academic publication, taking advantage of the affordances of the web while advancing complex arguments; [2] - Fall within the Arts & Humanities and Social Sciences spectrum of disciplines (multi or interdisciplinary foci are encouraged); - Address an international audience; [3] - Not be limited by a prescriptive use of technology (we will work with you to identify the best approach). Anybody affiliated - also temporarily - to an academic institution can apply; proposals from early career researchers are welcome. This call encourages forward thinking proposals that seek to deploy cutting edge technology to enlarge our conception of the monograph form and associated issues of research data management and sustainability. King’s Digital Lab and Stanford University Press encourage expansive (high risk) ideas that blend quality scholarship with advanced technologies and best in class design principles. *** Selection and follow up process *** The call welcomes experimental and technology-agnostic ideas which will be reviewed and, if deemed promising, selected by an ad hoc committee including but not limited to key KDL and SUP staff. While funding is not immediately available to develop expressions of interest into fully-fledged products, KDL and SUP will work with the selected candidate/s to seek funding for the winning idea/s to be realised. Once funding is secured, and pending approval by SUP's peer review process, the selected publication will be developed in collaboration with KDL and SUP staff. The final product would bear the SUP imprint. The ultimate aim of this experimental call is to expand towards a dedicated series. *** How to apply and schedule *** Ideas should be submitted by 8th of January 2018 using this online form: https://www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk/kdl-sup-publication-idea/ Successful candidate/s, if any, will be notified by 8th of February 2018. After this date, feasibility of the proposal will be further discussed with KDL staff so as to initiate the co-writing of a funding application in collaboration with SUP and the winning candidate/s. --- Dr Arianna Ciula Deputy Director and Senior Analyst | King’s Digital Laboratory | King's College London | Virginia Woolf Building Room 2.50 | 22 Kingsway | London WC2B 6LE DDI: +44 (0)20 7848 7486 https://www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk | @kingsdigitallab _____________________________ 1.

Yet, archivists and literary scholars rarely "sit at the same table," and this lack of dialogue has an impact on issues of access, particularly in the case of born-digital materials. The special issue in Archives and Manuscripts will explore these issues, and attempt to find solutions that involve both archivists and scholars. There is a possibility of producing an edited collection (e.g. Book) from a special issue with Taylor and Francis. The list of contributors will be drawn from the participants at the two “After the Digital Revolution” workshops, funded by a British Academy Rising Star Engagement Award awarded to Dr Lise Jaillant. In addition, anyone else with an interest and expertise in born-digital records is welcome to submit an abstract for consideration. If you would like to contribute an essay to this special issue, the next step is to send a 300-word abstract and CV to l.jaillant [at] lboro.ac.uk by 1 February 2018. Complete essays will be due on 1 December 2018. A typical paper for this journal should not exceed 10,000 words, inclusive of the abstract.

With the support of The Getty Foundation as part of its Digital Art History initiative, The Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture at Duke University, the University of Padua'˜s Architecture and Engineering program and Venice International University are collaborating on a Summer Workshop that will support interdisciplinary teams focused on the hard questions of Digital Art History as a discipline, a set of methods, and a host of technical and institutional challenges and opportunities. After five editions of two-weeks summer workshops introducing concepts and methods for digital art and architectural history through hands-on tutorials and collaborative project development, the program for 2018 will shift to focus on advancing the field of digital art and architectural history through a combination of project-sharing, technology exploration, and academic discussion. After the initial two-week gathering in Venice, we still stay in touch as a community over the course of the next year, reconvening for one week in 2019 to write up and assess our work. This workshop is different than our earlier Visualizing Venice workshop iterations in that we are asking people to apply as teams of 2 or 3, and with a Digital Art History Mapping and/or Modeling project already in place, and which they hope to develop further in conversation with the group. The focus of applicant projects does not need to be on Venice or Visualizing Cities, though projects related to those themes are welcome. We will expect participants to share their working projects files with the group, and will work with selected participating teams in advance of the meeting to customize the curriculum to fit the needs and interests of the group. Alums of our previous introductory workshops are welcome to apply, as are new participants, from the US and abroad. Thanks to the generosity of the Getty Foundation, we are able to offer support for tuition, travel, board and accommodation expenses.

But Plato's Cave presupposes that those freeing the prisoner from their chains to reveal the true nature of 'reality' are altruistic in their intent'. The author speaks of a 'trap' in which VR has led us, the 'trap' - if I have interpreted well what he says - of looking for a 'transformative' experience of the reality, from one side, and realizing that 'the technology is simply not good enough yet to simulate a truly authentic - and profitable- experience', from the other. I hope the article may be of your and other readers' interest. Thank you for your attention, many regards.

We are experimenting with VR and developing 'transformative' experiences of narrative forms from different media. That means we try to find a way to an immersive experience, far away from pretending to represent the real world. > But Plato's Cave presupposes that those freeing the prisoner from their chains > to reveal the true nature of 'reality' are altruistic in their intent’. We use VR to develop a 3D world to tell a story (like a stage of a theater), without the aim to represent the true nature of 'reality‘. One more thing: I thought about Ray Bradbury’s 'The Visitor‘ (in 'The Illustrated Man‘), which is a good example for me to show what humans might search for when they are surrounded by a world which does not offer anything. Maybe it is not the reality, but rather experiences provided for our use and to feed our mind.

So many visualisations/VRs are presented -- "Behold!" -- with little or no critical discussion of what happens when we engage with them, if we bother. What specifically does this or that visualisation tell us that we wouldn't otherwise know? Losing critical awareness in such engagement may be worse than viewing a visualisation uncritically from the get-go, but neither is good enough for real scholarly work in digital humanities, or so I'd think. But, in the former instance, what vocabulary can we draw upon to talk about the immersive experiences induced by visualisations and by VR? Indeed, when we are figuring something out, e.g. the significance of results from complex modelling, where do we go for the intellectual tools that help us understand what is happening and how to deal with it? Phenomenology and cognitive psychology come to mind. Any other disciplines? Particular recommendations of works in those and other useful areas of work would be very helpful and much appreciated.

In the Age of Revolutions, the creation and dissemination of information cultivated and complicated shifts in political ideology, commercial practices, and imperial infrastructure. Questions of access in these networks, of who can create information, who can circulate and commodify it, and on what terms, directly intersects with ongoing explorations of textual transformation in digital studies. In the intersection of historical, literary, legal, and bibliographic studies, the process of digital scholarship can shed new light on the traditional narrative of political publishing in the late eighteenth century. The Third International Conference of Thomas Paine Studies at Iona College seeks to build an interdisciplinary program in which the links – and ruptures – between late eighteenth century and twenty first century media, particularly digital publishing and archive development, social media, resource accessibility, author attribution software, and information technology, are explored. The organizers welcome presentations on a wide range of subjects, either as individual papers or pre-formed panels, with a particular focus on Paine and his social network, as well as local, national, geographic, and imperial networks, borderlands, political discourses, knowledge formation from religious, scientific, and environmental perspectives, as well as digital pedagogy, digital research, archive management, and information sciences. Discussions of the relationship between these subjects and race, gender, class, and indigeneity are particularly encouraged, as are papers that focus on New York state history and Thomas Paine Studies. ABD graduate students, junior, and senior scholars are invited to apply from any disciplinary background. Please include a 250-word prospectus and a one-page curriculum vitae together in one pdf document labeled with the applicant’s last name, with your name, paper title, affiliation (if applicable), and email address at the top of the first page of the proposal. Conference presentations will be limited to twenty minutes, and alternative session styles, including round tables, lightening talks, posters, or demos are welcomed. Participants may receive some financial support for travel and lodging expenses. Applicants should e-mail their proposals to ITPS@iona.edu by February 1st, 2018.

This workshop, limited to 20 registered participants, aims to demonstrate a milestone in modern literary scholarship in the digital domain: the Samuel Beckett Digital Manuscript Project. The workshop will showcase various features of the BDMP, drawing on several published editions of Beckett’s manuscripts, as well as providing a critical survey of the Samuel Beckett Library online and other features of the project. Dirk Van Hulle, professor of English literature at the University of Antwerp and director of the Centre for Manuscript Genetics, recently edited the new Cambridge Companion to Samuel Beckett (2015). With Mark Nixon, he is co-director of the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project (www.beckettarchive.org) and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Beckett Studies. His publications include Textual Awareness (2004), Modern Manuscripts (2014), Samuel Beckett’s Library (2013, with Mark Nixon), James Joyce’s Work in Progress (2016) and several genetic editions in the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project, including Krapp’s Last Tape / La Dernière Bande, Molloy (with Magessa O’Reilly and Pim Verhulst), L’Innommable / The Unnamable (with Shane Weller) and the Beckett Digital Library. Date: Monday 4 December 2017 Time: 2- 4pm Location: Brennan-MacCallum Learning Studio 110, The University of Sydney Price Free and open to all.

In discourse analysis, poetics is defined from the readers’ perspective, as the readers’ opinions and presuppositions of what literature is, what it does or what it should do. From a structuralist point of view, Jonathan Cullers gave a different definition to the notion of ‘poetics’: ‘Poetics starts with attested meanings or effects and asks how they are achieved. […] Hermeneutics, on the other hand, starts with texts and asks what they mean, seeking to discover new and better interpretations’. Culler’s structuralist approach focuses on the finished product (the text as it was published). Genetic Criticism, the study of written invention and creative processes, adds a temporal dimension to poetics; its answers to Culler’s question ‘how they are achieved’ involve traces of the creative process (such as notes, drafts and other manuscripts). This kind of ‘poetics’ goes back to the etymological sense of the word, derived from Greek ‘poiein’, ‘to make’. Genetic Criticism starts from the basic assumption that knowing how something was made can help us understand how it works. The thesis of this paper is that digital scholarly editing can be a way of doing this type of poetics research, not just as a tool, but as a form of ‘digital poetics’. To explore this digital poetics, the Beckett Digital Manuscript Project will serve as a case study (www.beckettarchive.org).

The third International Conference will be co-organized by the Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris 6 (UPMC) with the technical support of the Hellenic Open University. As it was the case with the first two Conferences, the third one does not have a specific theme, as its intent continues to be the creation of an open forum for all scholars interested in Science and Literature, thus bringing into the dialogue multiple perspectives. Nevertheless, the Conference will be organized along thematic sessions, according to the papers which will be accepted by the Scientific Committee. Proposals for individual papers or panels of three or four papers should be submitted  from 1st December until the 29th of February 2018. They must include the title of the paper (or the theme of the panel), name and affiliation of the author(s), an abstract of no more than 350 words and a short CV of  up to five lines. Proposals and inquiries about practical matters may be sent to gvlahakis@yahoo.com and konstantinos.tampakis@gmail.com An international scientific committee will review the submissions and notice ofacceptance will be sent within the first two weeks of March 2018. Prof.Pauline Lescar will be the chair of the Local Organizing Committee and member of the Scientific Committee.   Registration:  1st  February 2018 to May 30th 2018 Registration fees (include coffee, tea, refreshments and Conference material): 100 Euros Fees for students and early career scholars: 50 Euros Participants are asked to make their own arrangements concerning their accommodation in Paris, but the Conference organizers will be happy to give any necessary assistance. Further information will be included in the second CfP which will be circulated on 5th January 2016.  --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 14:07:30 +0000 From: Hasok Chang Subject: Measurement at the Crossroads (Paris, 27-29 June 2018) Call for abstracts Measurement at the Crossroads June 27-29, 2018 University Paris Diderot, France Laboratoire Sciences, Philosophie, Histoire (SPHERE), Paris Deadline: January 5, 2018 measurement2018.sciencesconf.org _______ Measurement at the Crossroads is the third interdisciplinary conference to explore the history and philosophy of measurement after Dimensions of Measurement in Bielefeld (2013) and The Making of Measurement in Cambridge (2015). The organizers of the third conference, which will take place on 27-29 June 2018, in Paris, invite scholars interested in the history, philosophy and sociology of science to address questions related to measurement across disciplines ranging from the natural sciences to the life and human sciences. The recent revival of the philosophy of measurement in the early 2000s appears to be instrumental in overcoming the tensions that obstructed science studies during much of the second half of the twentieth century. The Paris conference aspires to promote the new ways of addressing issues of quantification and measurement that are now emerging and promising to bridge the various gulfs – theoretical versus practical, descriptive versus normative – that have divided the philosophical, historical and sociological approaches to science. It is now recognized that questions of quantification transcend the earlier focus on meaning and representation which formerly attracted the attention of philosophers of science, and that these questions benefit from investigation alongside the means and processes that enable scientists, and human agents in general, to agree on their measurement results and make them reliable bases for decision and action. The resulting shift of attention towards the uses of measurement results in inference and prediction places the new agenda of philosophy of measurement at the crossroads of conceptual, epistemic, historical, material, technological and institutional issues. The 2018 conference comes at a time when the field of metrology is about to reach an important turning point with the reform of the International System of Units (SI) that is to be announced by the end of 2018. With Measurement at the Crossroads we aspire to connect the discussions developing in the emerging field of history and philosophy of measurement with some of the issues arising from this major reshaping of the field of metrology. Special attention will thus be given to issues pertaining to the formation of systems of units and standards, as well as to related institutional matters. The conference will build upon the two former ones by inscribing these issues more explicitly in a world-wide and a long-term perspective. In addition to the enquiries related to the contemporary SI reform, time will therefore be allotted for studies concerned with how measurement units have been worked out in the past, from Antiquity to today’s reform, in different regions of the world. This will offer a cultural-anthropological outlook on metrology. Some of the questions listed below might be helpful to guide contributors without in any way constraining them: • Quantification and measurement practices Is it possible to devise a conception of quantity suited for all domains of science, and what are the specific difficulties raised by the definition of properties and quantities in the human sciences? How can one deal with scientific error, especially experimental error? How can scientists evaluate uncertainty and risk relative to experimental results and their uses? How can the study of measurement shed new light on the relations between theory, models, experiment and instrumentation? How can philosophy of measurement contribute to classical problems of the philosophy of science? (e.g.: realism, conventionalism and operationalism in science) • Units, standards and instruments How did numbers, units and standards become separated in the course of history, and how did units become coordinated to one another through metrological systems of units? How do standards contribute to the stabilization of facts? How do they affect human action and self-perception? How do the descriptive and the normative intertwine in measurement? What are the reasons behind the project of the new SI? What will be its conceptual, practical, technical and institutional consequences? • Communities, institutions, normativity and trust What social and institutional constraints are required to implement a global network of communicable, comparable and reliable measurement results? How can decisions be taken on the basis of measurement under conditions of uncertainty? What is the role of trust in the practice of measurement and in the assessment of scientific knowledge? Can the philosophical, historical and sociological enquiry into measurement make us more aware of our responsibilities in the development of our technological society?

The special issue will tie major results and work at former events of the research group together, but it also opens up for new contributors who are not yet members of the research group and who are engaged in relevant research. Invited are authors who are able to deliver serious, fairly mature drafts of full-length papers. The draft papers should be submitted by 15 May 2018. The set of articles will be reviewed, discussed and further developed at the workshop. The topic of the writing workshop and the special issue and writing workshop covers ongoing research interests along the lines of the preceding workshops and panel series (“Technology, natural resources and crises in the past and present of Europe and beyond”). Themes of particular interests include 1) Globalized resource cycles and environmental transformation; 2) Managing crises: technologies and politics of natural resources; and 3) Perceptions and construction of resources, resource crises and resource futures. Our understanding of “resources” is broad, comprising water, metals, minerals and energy along with living resources such as fisheries, forests and agricultural land. Our aim is to be able to bridge a wide array of very different resources. Major questions to be asked comprise: · How were science and technology used by European states, scientists, local communities and other actors as tools to explore, extract, transform and use natural resources? · How did actual or perceived resource crises spur the development and application of technologies and the exploration of new resources and new territories? · Which geopolitical, environmental and societal implications did resource use and needs have in and beyond Europe? · How did perceptions and visions of resources and the relations of society, technology and resources change over time in European societies and institutions? · How did technologies contribute to perceptions and conceptions of “development” and “sustainability” and the emergence of forestry and water politics, agricultural development, biofuels and green technologies? Authors who wish to contribute to the special issue and participate at the writing workshop are asked to submit a 2-page abstract (about 1000 words) and a CV to Per Högselius at perho@kth.se. Authors who wish to contribute to the special issue but are unable to participate at the writing workshop are also invited to submit an abstract and CV. The deadline is 15 January 2017. We will attempt to organize funding for those in need of travel support for the writing workshop. Please indicate in your application whether you will need travel support.

SouthHem is a five-year (2016-2021) comparative study of the literary outputs and mediating institutions produced by British settlers, indigenous populations, and mixed-race peoples in the British-controlled Southern Hemisphere and Straits Settlements from 1780-1870. The project focuses on three transnational zones: ‘Zone 1’ (Oceania): Australia and New Zealand; ‘Zone 2’ (Southern Africa): Cape Colony and Natal; and ‘Zone 3’ (Straits Settlements): Singapore, Penang, and Malacca.

A substantial number of studies on different topics and periods have shown that network theories and methods can be fruitfully applied to selected bodies of historical and archaeological sources. Yet in many of these initial studies, important methodological concerns regarding the underlying sources, missing data, data standardization and representation of networks in space and time have not been adequately acknowledged and sometimes even completely neglected. The session invites contributions from researchers applying methods of formal network analysis in archaeological or historical research. A special emphasis of the session will be on the unique challenges that arise in the domain-specific application of these research methods. We welcome submissions on any period, geographical area or topic. One or more sessions at the 2018 International Network for Social Network Analysis (INSNA) Sunbelt Conference will focus on archaeological and historical network analysis. The conference will take place June 26 ? July 1 in Utrecht, Netherlands. Abstracts for 20-minute paper presentations can be submitted at https://sunbelt.sites.uu.nl/abstract-submission/. Submissions are due 1 February 2018, and authors of accepted papers will be notified by March 2018.

The symposium aims to bring together historians, philosophers, computer scientists and practitioners to discuss programming from a broader perspective. It will take place on 23 March 2018 in Oxford and the submission deadline is 1 January 2018. For more information and a full CFP, please see: https://www.shift-society.org/hapop4/ Below, you will find the brief outline as well as the programme committee, important dates and the submission link. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fourth Symposium on the History and Philosophy of Programming In a society where computers have become ubiquitous, it is necessary to develop a deeper understanding of the nature of computer programs, not just from the technical viewpoint, but from a broader historical and philosophical perspective. A historical awareness of the evolution of programming not only helps to clarify the complex structure of computing, but it also provides an insight in what programming was, is and could be in the future. Philosophy, on the other hand, helps to tackle fundamental questions about the nature of programs, programming languages and programming as a discipline. HaPoP 2018 is the fourth edition of the Symposium on the History and Philosophy of Programming, organised by HaPoC, Commission on the History and Philosophy of Computing. As in the previous editions, we are convinced that an interdisciplinary approach is necessary for understanding programming with its multifaceted nature. As such, we welcome participation by researchers and practitioners coming from a diversity of backgrounds, including historians, philosophers, computer scientists and professional software developers. In addition to submissions in a wide range of areas traditional for HaPoP (outlined below), we especially welcome submissions that explore the nature of scientific progress with respect to computer programming as a discipline. We are interested in investigations concerning the methodology of computer programming, whether it follows a form of scientific method that allows it to increase its problem solving ability, whether its development more is akin to science, engineering or rather art, and what examples from the history of programming can be provided to support either argument.

At the same time, new interlinked linguistic resources are being created to meet requirements for language technology (LT), leading to better federation, interoperability and flexible representation. In this context, lexicography constitutes a natural part of the Linguistic Linked (Open) Data (LLOD) scheme, currently represented by WordNets, FrameNets, and LT-oriented lexicons, ontologies and lexical databases. New attempts are underway to embed lexicography in a theoretical framework as part of developing a research paradigm and common standards for interoperability with LT systems and applications. The aim of this workshop is to explore the development of global standards for the evaluation of lexicographic resources and their incorporation into new LT services and other devices. This is the second workshop organized by GLOBALEX, a young constellation of the major continental associations of lexicography, this time in cooperation with the Global WordNet Association and the newly established ELEXIS project. The focus of GLOBALEX 2018 is Lexicography and WordNets. It seeks to promote cooperation with related fields of LT for all languages worldwide, and is intended to bridge existing gaps within and among such different research fields and interest groups. MAIN TOPICS The workshop will feature the main topic of Lexicography and WordNets, as well as these topics: · Lexicography in the age of globalization and digitization · Lexicography-assisted language learning and translation · Lexicographic integration of NLP tools and corpora · Lexicography and LT for under-resourced languages · Lexicography and Terminology · Lexicography and the Multilingual Digital Single Market · Lexicography and Linguistic Linked (Open) Data · Lexicography and the Semantic Web · Lexicography and Knowledge Systems · Lexicography and Artificial/Augmented Intelligence AUDIENCE · Lexicographers and dictionary makers · Computational and corpus linguists · NLP researchers and engineers · Terminologists · Big data analysis · Reference scientists and knowledge system managers SUBMISSION DETAILS There are two types of submissions: · Abstract (500-1,000 words) OR · Full paper (6-10 pages) For formatting guidelines for full papers, please use the LREC submission format. Both abstracts and full papers will address any of the topics included in this CfP, but full papers have the advantage of presenting the authors’ work and ideas at a greater level of detail. All submissions must be received by the deadline below and will be reviewed by experts in the field. Accepted proposals will be invited (but not required) to submit the full paper for publication in the workshop proceedings. The submission START webpage will be announced in due course.

In Kuhnian terms I suppose we'd look for the anomalies. the odd bits that don't fit. What are the questions we cannot answer? What disciplines do we need to look to or help? AND, of course vice versa. My nomination is for the re-integration or expansion of results from computing back into whatever field of research has produced the question being investigated. I'd say the field about which we need to know more is cognitive psychology. Some, I suppose, would nominate cognitive science. What bothers me there so often is the silent marriage of 'computational' and 'cognition' or 'mind'. Curiously, as someone whose mind was formed by literary studies and philological obsessions, the implications and connotations of words matter a very great deal. So I am bothered by 'the computational model of mind' because very quickly 'model' is forgotten or dimmed out beyond recognition, and we lose the irony in mischievous Minsky's identification of the brain as a 'meat machine'. But quite possibly there are large swathes of cognitive science that are philologically aware? It's difficult talking about what you don't know, hanging on the analogical when using analogies.

In recent years, scholars have developed a keen interest on the historical relationships between information technology and governance. Their work is revealing that computing and telecommunications technologies have been inseparable from the web of formal and informal forms of governance in which they are embedded. In the process they are showing how the study of law, policy, and regulation can shed new light on every major theme in the history of computing—from the design and commercialization of specific technologies, to the politics of their usage, representation, and disposal. This special issue aims to bring these scholars together. We welcome papers that draw from the history of computing and its allied fields, including STS, media studies, environmental studies, business history, and gender and sexuality studies, to name a few. Papers addressing any time period from the early nineteenth century to recent past are welcome, as are those with any geographical focus. Some topics of interest include: · Computing, free speech, privacy, and censorship · Criminal activity, due process, and punishment · Corporate governance and industry standards · Gender and race politics of IT governance · Computing and environmental policy · Internet standards and regulation · Ownership rights and piracy · Influential court opinions at the local, national, or international level If you are interested, please submit an abstract (250 words) to Gerardo Con Diaz (Condiaz@ucdavis.edu) by January 26, 2018. Accepted papers will be due for peer review in the summer of 2018. You may also contact him with any questions, or to discuss potential topics. -- Gerardo Con Diaz Assistant Professor Science and Technology Studies University of California, Davis www.condiaz.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.6 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, DATE_IN_PAST_24_48,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=no version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 62AAA86B6; Thu, 14 Dec 2017 20:09:38 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7CBC483CD; Thu, 14 Dec 2017 20:09:37 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 316BF8C22; Wed, 13 Dec 2017 07:45:34 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171213064534.316BF8C22@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2017 07:45:34 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.461 graduate studies at Northeastern 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: <20171214190938.31177.94950@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 461.

The sheer amount of cultural information that is generated and, crucially, preserved every day in electronic form, presents exciting new opportunities for researchers. Much of this information is captured within web archives. Web archives often contain hundreds of billions of web pages, ranging from individual homepages and social media posts, to institutional websites. These archives offer tremendous potential for social scientists and humanists, and the questions research may pose stretch across a multitude of fields. In short, web archives offer the ability to reconstruct large-scale traces of the relatively recent past. Archives Unleashed Toolkit This event is tailored towards web archives practitioners and researchers. The Archives Unleashed datathon presents an opportunity for librarians, archivists, researchers, computer scientists, and others to collaboratively work with web collections and explore cutting-edge research tools through hands on experience. This event will bring together a small group of approximately 15 participants to experiment with the newest release of AUT (Archives Unleashed Toolkit) and the Archives Unleashed Cloud, and to kick-off collaboratively inspired research projects. Participants will have access to analytics software and specialists, and will be exposed to the process of working with web archive files at scale. For more information on AUT and the Cloud, please visit http://archivesunleashed.org/. Over the next two years, there will be subsequent events: one in the eastern United States, one in western Canada, and one in the western area of the United States. Accordingly, we prioritize regional applicants from central and eastern Canada and the northeastern United States. Sponsors + Travel Grants This event is possible thanks to the generous support of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the University of Toronto Libraries, and the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Arts. The Archives Unleashed team is pleased to offer modest travel grants to help attendees participate in this event. These grants can cover up to $1,000 CAD in travel expenses. If you require financial assistance to attend the event, please indicate in your statement of interest that you would like to be considered for the travel grant. Submission Guidelines Those interested in participating should send a 250-word expression of interest and a short one-page CV to the Archives Unleashed Team (archivesunleashed@gmail.com) by midnight on 5 February 2018. This expression of interest should address your background and interests in web archiving, and what you would hope to get out of working with tools and web archive data at scale. Applicants will be notified by 19 February 2018.

Steinle 1997, Burian 1997), the exploratory character of scientific models and scientific modelling has only recently begun to receive systematic treatment. Over the last couple of years, a number of case studies have deployed the labels 'exploratory models' or 'exploratory modelling' (e.g. Fisher 2016, Shech 2017) to describe episodes of scientific modelling during which the existence of an accepted body of theoretical knowledge cannot be assumed, or is itself at issue. In addition, there have been attempts to distinguish between, and classify, different exploratory functions of scientific models (Gelfert 2016), such as their use as starting points for future inquiry, as proofs of principle (e.g. regarding the viability of a proposed new method), as potential explanations, and as ways of testing the suitability and epistemic stability of the purported target system. Implicit in this taxonomy is the acknowledgement that any initial list of exploratory uses of scientific models is likely to be incomplete and itself subject to revision. Labelling any episode of scientific research - including cases of scientific modelling - 'exploratory' is intended to convey more than just a sense of its priority in the chronological order of events. Rather, the label 'exploratory' pertains to a particular mode of doing science: one that aims at getting a grasp of a phenomenon or scientific problem in the absence of a well-understood and workable theory of the domain in question. By contrast, in those cases that have traditionally received the most attention - especially from philosophers of science - it is typically assumed that a significant prior body of theoretical knowledge is available and, in turn, suggests (not by itself, but in the hands of appropriately trained scientists) a way of rendering the phenomenon theoretically tractable, at least in principle. In exploratory research, this assumption is acknowledged to be no longer tenable. Also, while the term 'exploratory model' can be expected to have significant overlap with related notions (such as 'toy model', 'minimal model', or 'substitute model'), it would be hasty to assimilate the former to the latter: exploration is neither a matter of mere chronology, nor of degree of abstraction or realism. The proposed special issue aims to deepen our appreciation of the extent to which scientific models can serve as exploratory tools and to sharpen our understanding of what - beyond their empirical performance - makes some exploratory models more fruitful than others. Finally, an important concern will be with the legitimacy and the limitations of exploratory models (and of claims derived on their basis). We welcome submissions that integrate historical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives and engage with recent scholarship on the matter. The overarching goal is to foster an interdisciplinary conversation concerning the character, potential, and limitations of the practice of exploratory modelling.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2017 08:24:39 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: not reaching for the smartphone The Norwegian lawyer, art collector and explorer Erling Klagge, in his book Silence in the Age of Noise, describes sitting at the dinner table with his children, recalling the time when they were possessed by wonder: > Questions and answers, questions and answers. Wonder is the very > engine of life. But my children are thirteen, sixteen and nineteen > years old and wonder less and less; if they still wonder at anything, > they quickly pull out their smartphones to find the answer... their > heads are now filled with more ambitions than questions. In response to declarations of progress, I am fond of saying that there's always a tradeoff. Here too, it seems. And here too it's a matter of how the tool is used: going googling is a highly effective way of discovering, through the ocean of secondary sources which quickly stretches beyond sight that there's more to comprehend than can be, and so more to wonder about than can be extinguished with answers. Dame Gillian Beer, writing about interdisciplinary research, worries the problem of competence. In academic work is this not always the close companion of curiosity? Beyond the practicalities of how to find out about a discipline one needs but does not have, what is the training required? Is there any beyond the experience of doing it? I worry the problem of how digital humanities is to engage with all the disciplines it needs given that untrammelled curiosity and its articulation in doing interdisciplinary work is given so little attention. In his "Human versus mechanical intelligence" (1996), Turing's friend Robin Gandy quotes Donald MacKay’s comment that attributing intelligence to machines “would not primarily be a matter of using evidence and knowledge, but a matter of having the nerve." I propose Erling Klagge, who has reached the North and South Poles and the summit of Everest, as a fine example for the digital humanist to emulate. Comments?

Anyone has insight on extracting the core textual content from websites and feeding that into, say, Voyant Tools? Some DH tools and methods, including topic modelling, have made their way into my dayjob with engineers, entrepreneurs, and other technologists. Wishing to provide further DH insight, was tasked with applying similar strategies to semi-automatic analysis of organizational websites. Eventually, we'd like to identify some tokens which could help reveal 'cultural dimensions'. Sounds like a tall order, but the process can lead us in interesting directions. (The challenge in defining cultural dimensions is a completely separate story, though assumptions really affect data collection in a case like this.) For a number of reasons (Carleton's Shawn Graham is partly responsible), feeding things into Voyant Tools sounds like the most appropriate approach, at this point. However, what's expected as documents by VT needs to be prepared carefully. One of my attempts was to produce sitemaps in RSS format and give those for VT to chew on. That made VT choke, maybe because some of the links were to feeds themselves. Tried adding URLs in smaller batches and that did produce interesting results, but there are still issues in getting VT to create a corpus from links without massaging. Maybe that part is specific to Voyant Tools and the community there could help. The broader issue is that the webpages contain a lot of extraneous content, including navigation, headers, and footers. There are APIs and tools out there to parse webpages and extract the main content (Boilerpipe, Goose Extractor, Mercury Web Parser...). Haven't been that successful with them, yet. People have suggested Portia for a code-free approach, but that actually sounds quite involved. Others advise me to learn to do it in Python and/or through XPath (VT support would probably help, then). But it's a bit hard to locate the first step in self-training for this (my minimal Python skills mostly have to do with Raspberry Pi and musicking). We might actually skip this whole microproject, if it requires too much effort. Just thought it could be a neat opportunity to bring DH (and humanism) to our work. So any insight would be greatly appreciated.

See bit.ly/2jMZTZm. The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents, known informally as "Camp Edit," is an annual five-day workshop for individuals new to the field of historical documentary editing. With the needs of the participants as a guide, experienced documentary editors provide instruction in the principles and practices of documentary editing and insight into the realities of work on a documentary edition. Documentary editing is the craft of preparing historical writings for publication in print or online. The goal is to produce an authoritative edition of the material, with an accurate transcription of the original manuscript and an editorial framework that facilitates understanding of the text and context. Participants in the Editing Institute might be joining the staff of an existing documentary editing project or launching their own. Since its inception in 1972, the Editing Institute has trained more than 500 individuals. These include not only full-time documentary editors but also college and university faculty and graduate students, archivists and librarians, government historians, public historians, and independent scholars. No previous editorial or technical experience is required, we welcome applications from individuals in any field who would benefit from intensive training in the design and execution of a documentary editing project. The 47th Editing Institute will take place in conjunction with the 2018 ADE Annual Meeting, which will be held immediately following the Editing Institute, 21–23 June, also at the Red Lion Inn in Olympia. The Editing Institute charges no tuition, and travel stipends of $1200 will be provided to eligible participants living outside the immediate Olympia area, free registration to attend the Annual Meeting, and a one-year membership in the ADE. Admission, however, is competitive. For more information about the institute or the application, please email nlwasmoe@buffalo.edu. You can apply online using at bit.ly/2jMZTZm, where you can also download an offline application form if you prefer to email your submission. The deadline for applications is 2 February 2018. The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents is administered by the Association for Documentary Editing under a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), an affiliate of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 9AC248757; Fri, 15 Dec 2017 07:36:51 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id D5D63874E; Fri, 15 Dec 2017 07:36:46 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4583D8747; Fri, 15 Dec 2017 07:36:41 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171215063642.4583D8747@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2017 07:36:41 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.468 postdoc (Waterloo); open rank professorship (Qatar); GIS developer (Berlin) 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: <20171215063647.14739.84321@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 468.

Our Students Our students arrive from different fields and disciplines, including literary studies, history, computer science, communications, and library and information science. They come from diverse cultural backgrounds, and find a home in Loyola’s interdisciplinary research center, the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities , where they undertake research projects, present public programs, and gather socially. Our Curriculum In our 30-hour part-time or full-time program, our students are trained in the practice and critical study of the intersections between the humanities and computational social science. Coursework and research projects range from digital textual editing, archiving, publishing, and data analysis, to the study of new media. Students collaborate with world-renowned faculty and curators before embarking on a capstone project of their own design. Your Career MA in Digital Humanities graduates are prepared for careers in the private and academic sectors, including education, libraries, archives, museums, tech firms, and PhD programs. What Our Students Say* "The diversity and global stature of Chicago are big parts of the reason I love the city. I was drawn to Loyola's strong reputation and emphasis on knowledge not for its own sake but for the service of others and the human community. Loyola's commitment to excellence and global awareness resonated with me during a time when our political leaders at the state and national level seem determined to pull away from science and the global community. Loyola's commitment to social justice in Plan 2020 (https://www.luc.edu/strategicplanning/plan2020/ ) gave me confidence that a degree from Loyola would prepare me not just for my own future, but to give back to others in Chicago and make a positive difference in the world." Tyler Monaghan, Class of 2019 We are currently accepting applications for admission for the Fall 2018 semester. The deadline to be considered for fellowship support is February 1, 2018.

Recounting Evidence in African American Digital Studies (REAADS) For more info & registration: https://reaads.github.io/ Scholars of African American experiences have long insisted that we shift perceptions about evidentiary privilege. Now, in tapping historical and contemporary humanities data, how do notions about evidence and recovery change when we reconsider what gets labeled “absent” or “present?” What are the advantages of meaning-making at the margins? From Colored Conventions to Ida B. Wells to the recent #SayHerName movement, subjects and figures once considered invisible are now core to varied approaches to studying the intersection of race, class, and gender. Building on models in the field, this workshop aims to foster a community of scholars interested in developing digital projects in African American studies. We will do so by igniting a conversation about evidence and data that challenges popular ideas about obscurity and ubiquity connected to Black intellectual enterprises. Along the way, participants will also learn about practices in data curation, mapping, and text analysis. Join us as we gather at the Studio@Butler to examine these case studies. No previous experience in digital humanities is needed, but those with digital humanities experience at any level are welcomed. In this workshop participants will take up the questions about how digital methods can extend or reconstruct the ways that we have thought about, collected, and analyzed evidence. How do we interpret graphs, maps, and more to situate them within larger critical conversations about identity, technology, and evidentiary privilege, thereby transforming African American cultural studies as well as digital humanities? The workshop will be led by an interdisciplinary collective focused on nurturing and exploring humanist approaches to the documentation, preservation, and interpretation of African American history and culture. Initial collaborators include: * Caitlin Pollock (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis) * Trevor Muñoz (African American History, Culture, and Digital Humanities, University of Maryland) * Katie Rawson (Emory University) * Sarah Patterson (Colored Conventions Project, University of Massachusetts, Amherst) * Jim Casey (Colored Conventions Project, Princeton University) Thanks and best, Katie Katie Rawson Humanities Librarian for English Robert W.

I would suggest you start with the Beautiful Soup library for Python, which is designed explicitly for your task. Jeri Wieringa has written a tutorial on this: https://programminghistorian.org/lessons/intro-to-beautiful-soup There are other tutorials as well, which you might find useful. But that should be a good starting point.

[snip] Dear Willard: On “cognitive science”, there’s a substantial body of literary criticism that is cognitive in nature, and much of it pledges allegiance to the co-called “cognitive revolution”, which is very much about computation. But this cognitive literary criticism (“cognitive poetics”, and “cognitive rhetoric” are two banners) owes almost nothing to computation, explicitly or implicitly. I agree, we need to be vigilant when we talk of computation, whatever the context. Beyond that, however, to take a line from an old American commercial for Wendy’s hamburgers, “Where’s the beef?” What alternatives in the name of literary criticism and philology do you have to offer? I can’t for the life of me see that the humanities have any explicit models of the mind whatever. There’s the psychoanalytic account, and there’s such things as the imagination, and reason, and desire, and so forth. Those are all homunculi, mental faculties that do vaguely defined things in unspecified ways. Do computational models have limitations? Yes, all models have limitations. And the people who construct and use those models, at least the smart ones, are aware of those limitations. In a way, to construct a model is to simultaneously construct a set of limitations. That’s how you construct these things. The purpose of a good model isn’t to do everything. It’s to do something in an understandable way. At this point, I’m sorry to say, if anyone is looking for grand theories of everything, it’s the humanists (plus George Lakoff and Mark Turner with their magical maps and blends).

And please apply! The full job ad is below. To apply, go to https://recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/apply/JPF01154. For more information on WhatEvery1Says, see http://we1s.ucsb.edu/. Thank you! Lindsay Thomas Assistant Professor Department of English University of Miami Co-director of WhatEvery1Says DESCRIPTION The Mellon Foundation funded WhatEvery1Says (WE1S) project at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is seeking recent Ph.D. graduates (degree completed within past five years) to apply for two available postdoctoral scholar positions for a term of one year beginning July 1, 2018, with possibility of renewal for one additional year. The positions offer those in any humanities-related field an opportunity to develop their research and teaching interests as Mellon fellows in association with WE1S, a Digital Humanities project that is collecting, text-analyzing, visualizing, and reporting at large-data scales on how the humanities are discussed in journalism and other public discourse. (See project description: http://we1s.ucsb.edu). The two postdoctoral scholars will work closely with the project’s co-directors to advance WE1S's research agenda or to augment it in ways related to their own research. Besides participating and assisting in WE1S research activities, postdoctoral scholars will also be expected to teach three courses in their area of specialization/field of study. Total annual compensation will be competitive. Applicants must have the Ph.D. in-hand by time of appointment and should have expertise and scholarly interests related either or, ideally, both to WE1S's research themes and technical methods. The project's research themes include the role of the humanities in society, public media and media discourse, public humanities, comparative cross-national or -cultural approaches to the humanities, and race and ethnic studies (especially the way particular groups are positioned, or position themselves, in relation to the humanities). The project's technical methods include corpus construction, text analysis, topic modeling, word embedding, data visualization, and reproducible data analysis and curation. The positions require full-time residence at UCSB during fall, winter, and spring quarters of each academic year of the appointment. Interested applicants must submit to http://recruit.ap.ucsb.edu/apply/JPF01154 (a) a cover letter, (b) a statement of research (recent and planned), (c) a CV, (d) three letters of reference, (e) and a short research sample consisting of not more than 20 pages (or equivalent) of material. The research sample can be a piece of writing, a digital or other project, or some combination. Research samples including digital projects, data, code, etc., should be presented by means of a written description that includes links to online materials as well as specific suggestions for what evaluators should look at among the digital materials. For primary consideration, applications must be completed by Feb. 2, 2018. The positions will remain open until filled. The last date for applications to be received is May 31, 2018. The University is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through research, teaching and services as appropriate to the position. The University of California is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

I hold to my beef, that words matter, hence their implications, connotations, associations and so on. Handwaving this away simply won't do. (Note, if you will, that one's native disciplinary orientation matters; mine, being deeply literary, comes out here.) But I can be more sophisticated about this, so let me try. The problem I am pointing to occurs at the point John Haugeland identified in 1978 in "The nature and plausibility of Cognitivism": the point at which one asks, "What else could it be?" Tim Van Gelder, in "What might cognition be, if not computation?" (1995), quotes Alan Newell: > ...although a small chance exists that we will see a new paradigm > emerge for mind, it seems unlikely to me. Basically, there do not > seem to be any viable alternatives. This position is not surprising. > In lots of sciences we end up where there are no major alternatives > around to the particular theories we have. Then, all the interesting > kinds of scientific action occur inside the major view. It seems to me > that we are getting rather close to that situation with respect to > the computational theory of mind.(p. 346) I would insist on maintaining Newell's "seems", or to put it another way, to the as-if status of this theory of mind, or still another way, to the question to which we have no firm answer. Goosing the guess (pushing the paradigm?) leads to progress in research, then to a breakdown, and new ideas. Over 20 years ago Van Gelder noted that "the computational vision has lost much of its lustre". For my point it matters less where we are now than that we are going somewhere else. And why does one have to have a model of mind? Modelling is a wonderful and productive activity, but it ain't everything. Comments?

But this cognitive literary criticism (“cognitive poetics”, and “cognitive rhetoric” are two banners) owes almost nothing to computation, explicitly or implicitly. > > I agree, we need to be vigilant when we talk of computation, whatever the context. Beyond that, however, to take a line from an old American commercial for Wendy’s hamburgers, “Where’s the beef?” What alternatives in the name of literary criticism and philology do you have to offer? I can’t for the life of me see that the humanities have any explicit models of the mind whatever. There’s the psychoanalytic account, and there’s such things as the imagination, and reason, and desire, and so forth. Those are all homunculi, mental faculties that do vaguely defined things in unspecified ways. > > Do computational models have limitations? Yes, all models have limitations. And the people who construct and use those models, at least the smart ones, are aware of those limitations. In a way, to construct a model is to simultaneously construct a set of limitations. That’s how you construct these things. The purpose of a good model isn’t to do everything. It’s to do something in an understandable way. > > At this point, I’m sorry to say, if anyone is looking for grand theories of everything, it’s the humanists (plus George Lakoff and Mark Turner with their magical maps and blends). > > BB > > Bill Benzon > bbenzon@mindspring.com > > 917-717-9841 > > http://new-savanna.blogspot.com/ http://new-savanna.blogspot.com/ > http://www.facebook.com/bill.benzon http://www.facebook.com/bill.benzon > http://www.flickr.com/photos/stc4blues/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/stc4blues/ > https://independent.academia.edu/BillBenzon > http://www.bergenarches.com/#image1 http://www.bergenarches.com/#image1 -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor emeritus, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University and North Carolina State University; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1C55B85BC; Wed, 20 Dec 2017 22:34:45 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 814EA86B8; Wed, 20 Dec 2017 22:34:42 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C2CD28A4C; Sun, 17 Dec 2017 09:29:05 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20171217082905.C2CD28A4C@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sun, 17 Dec 2017 09:29:05 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.475 on the philosophy of virtual reality 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: <20171220213444.21602.81024@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 475.

Inspired by Robert Nozick's argument developed in 'Anarchy, State and Utopia', the volume collects a series of contributions under three main labels: Virtual Experiences and Human Well-Being, Real-World Experience Machines, Experiential Design: Problems and Prospects. I hope the volume may be of interest and help for your works! Thank you for your attention, best wishes.

Course Submission Form: https://goo.gl/yRQKeu New and returning instructors are welcome! About FSCI2018 FSCI 2018 (FORCE11 Scholarly Communications Summer Institute) is the premiere Community-led and organised summer school on current trends in Scholarly Communication. Instructors are community members who are passionate about passing on their knowledge and experience to others in Scholarly Communication. They range from up-and-coming researchers and practitioners to world-leading experts. The students they teach come from a wide variety of backgrounds: research, funding, administration, publishing, libraries, and information users. They range from absolute beginners to discipline leaders. They are eager to learn and represent an excellent source of potential collaborations! If you have ideas for a course that could help other members of the community navigate this new world, then we want to hear from you! Course Description FSCI has two types of course. • Morning courses (13-14 hours each), run Monday - Friday approximately 09:00 - 12:30 with a coffee break each day. Morning courses tend to contain more fundamental material or focus on broader areas of study. Examples from 2017 include “Reproducibility in Theory and Practice” and “Inside Scholarly Communications Today”. • Afternoon courses (6 hours each) run for three hours after lunch on Monday/Tuesday and on Wednesday/Thursday. (In response to feedback from FSCI 2017, afternoon course instructors will run their classes twice to maximise availability). Afternoon courses tend to be a bit more specialised and sometimes more technical. These are excellent places for advanced topics. In all cases, we encourage instructors to design their material around a hands-on, workshop format. Student evaluations suggest that attendees want to try things out for themselves and are less patient with a lecture-centered approach. You can see some of the titles we had last year below. How to Propose a Course You can propose a course using our Course Proposal Form. This form asks you for a title, instructor(s), and some background on you and your proposed topic. A programming committee will review course proposals with the goal of choosing the best combination of topics, skill-levels, and disciplinary focus. What Support Can I Expect? FSCI will provide basic technical support for instructors. If you have specialised needs, we will do our best to arrange additional support. In addition, FSCI will provide complimentary tuition fees, housing, and meals for 1 instructor per course. We are currently unable to provide reimbursement for travel costs to and from San Diego, though we are seeking funding. We hope to be able to secure some funding with a focus on providing support to instructors from Low and Mid Income Economies. Additional information about travel support will be posted as it becomes available. If you do require travel funding to participate in FSCI, please indicate this on the submission form.

However, I recently ran into the following paper which I found quite intriguing about the relationships between computation, AI, hard sciences and the Humanities, which a few Humanists interested in this thread might also appreciate.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 21 Dec 2017 10:09:21 +0100 From: Paul GIRARD Subject: Official release of the ‘RICardo Project’ database Dear colleagues, RICardo (Research on International Commerce) is a project dedicated to trade between nations over a period spanning the beginning of the Industrial Revolution to the eve of the Second World War. We are very pleased to announce the official release of the RICardo dataset on the occasion of the bicentenary of David Ricardo’s Principles. The RICardo database http://github.com/medialab/ricardo_data/ contains 368,871 bilateral or total trade flows from 1787 to 1938 for 373 reporting entities. It is now freely available under the Open Database License http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/ described under the Data Package format . Our data (and transformation scripts) are now opened to anyone to fuel research, to check our work or to get inspired for similar projects in Digital Humanities. This release contains new data. Compared with the preliminary version opened to the public in July 2016, this updated version provides an extended trade database with new sources and new data. We were able to include many new primary sources thanks to the exploitation of a rich collection of trade statistics archived by the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (Insee). The process of adding and filtering data allowed us to correct some errors and anomalies remaining in the preceding version. We also reworked our exploration tool, the RICardo website http://ricardo.medialab.sciences-po.fr/ , which has been improved in multiple ways (thanks to the help of grants accorded by Sciences Po). A new graphical identity and better documentations including, besides the trade database, an exchange rate database, a directory of all the entities listed in the trade database, and a directory of data sources (see the corpus webpage http://ricardo.medialab.sciences-po.fr/#/corpus ). Hopefully, this will not be the last version. The trade database still needs to be completed, especially for the period 1914-1923, and with new primary sources overall. We are also thinking of new features to better exploit the data, such as a political codification of entities over time. Moreover, anomalies can still remain yet to be corrected. We are very grateful for remarks and comments that would help us in improving this work. They can be posted on our Hypotheses blog http://ricardo.hypotheses.org/ . We will also use this blog to discuss the choices we made and document the issues we tackled in a series of blog posts to come.

The 13th International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2018, will be held on June 4th-7th, 2018 in Bozeman, Montana, USA. Open Repositories 2018 is now calling for proposals around the theme of Sustaining Open. http://www.or2018.net/call-for-papers/ Research and Cultural Heritage communities have embraced the idea of Open; open communities, open source software, open data, scholarly communications, and open access publications and collections. These projects and communities require different modes of thinking and resourcing than purchasing vended products. While open may be the way forward, mitigating fatigue, finding sustainable funding, and building flexible digital repository platforms is something most of us are striving for. Submissions this year should focus on the how, why, and what it will take to make open sustainable. While not limited to the below topics, we're focusing our attention on issues around the sustainability of: · Open source software - sustainability of software developed locally and large open source systems, legacy code · Community - reaching out to new audiences, developing a community, governance · Content - research data, digital preservation, persistent urls, archiving · Teams/People - staff and knowledge within the community, contingency planning, training and development, and succession planning · Projects - sustainability of projects beyond the grant, maturing communities · Infrastructure/Integrations - integrations between systems, changing technical environments · Policy - national, international, local and community policy and decisions · Challenges of sustainability - funding, local, technical, community · Rights and Copyright - including Data Protection, sharing and storing of content · Reuse, standards, and reproducibility - for example: software, data, content types · New open technologies and standards Submission Process Accepted proposals in all categories will be made available through the conference's web site, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. Some conference sessions may be live streamed or recorded, then made publicly available. Interest Groups This year there are no separate interest groups for the different repository systems, instead if your 24x7 or presentation submission is related to a specific repository system please indicate so in your proposal. Presentations Presentation proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. Presentations are 30 minutes long including questions. Panels Panel proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. All panels are expected to include at least some degree of diversity in viewpoints and personal background of the panelists. Panel sessions are expected to include a short presentation from each panel member followed by a discussion. Panels may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. Panels can be 45 or 90 minutes long. Discussion Question and Answer Discussion Q&A proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). This is your opportunity to suggest members of the community to join in a Q&A discussion on various proposed topics. This is meant to be a deep-dive into why a decision was made, how projects got started, where an idea came from, or anything else that you want to know more about. Imagine this as a 45 - 90 minute grilling at a cocktail party but on a stage in front of your peers. Q&As may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. This session will not be video recorded. Discussion Q&A can be 45 or 90 minutes long. 24×7 Presentations 24×7 presentations are 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Successful 24x7 presentations have a clear focus on one or a few ideas and a narrower focus than a 25 minute presentation. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24×7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated question and answer session involving the audience and all block presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions. Proposals for 24×7 presentations should be one to two pages (see below for submission templates). 24x7 presentations are 7 minutes long. Posters We invite one-page proposals for posters that showcase current work (see below for submission templates). OR2018 will feature physical posters only. Posters will be on display throughout the conference. Instructions for preparing the posters will be distributed to authors of accepted poster proposals prior to the conference. Poster submitters will be expected to give a one-minute teaser to encourage visitors to their poster during the conference. Posters presentations will be 1 minute. Developer Track: Top Tips, Cunning Code and Imaginative Innovation Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2018 will feature a Developer Track that will provide a focus for showcasing work and exchanging ideas. Building on the success of previous Developer Tracks, where we encouraged live hacking and audience participation, we invite members of the technical community to share the features, systems, tools and best practices that are important to you (see below for submission templates). The 15 minute presentations can be as informal as you like, but we encourage live demonstrations, tours of code repositories, examples of cool features, and the unique viewpoints that so many members of our community possess. Proposals should be one to two pages, including a title, a brief outline of what will be shared with the community, and technologies covered. Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks. Developer Track presentations are 15 minutes including questions. Ideas Challenge OR2018 will also again include the popular Ideas Challenge. Taking part in this competition provides an opportunity to take an active role in repository innovation, in collaboration with your peers and in pursuit of prizes. The Ideas Challenge is open to all conference attendees. Further details and guidance on the Ideas Challenge will be forthcoming closer to the conference. Workshops and tutorials The first day of Open Repositories will be dedicated to workshops and tutorials. One to two-page proposals addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. See below for Proposal Templates; please address the following in your proposal: · The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey · Length of session (90 minutes, 3 hours or a whole day) · A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session · The target audience for your session and how many attendees you plan to accommodate · Technology and facility requirements · Any other supplies or support required · Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Please note, the program committee may consider submissions for other tracks and formats, as appropriate. Submission System The submission system will be available at the start of December. When a link will be added to this page http://www.or2018.net/call-for-papers/ . Review Process All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated according to the criteria outlined in the call for proposals, including quality of content, significance, originality, and thematic fit. Code of Conduct The OR2018 Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy are available at http://or2018.net/code-of-conduct/ Scholarship Programme OR2018 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places (including the poster reception and conference dinner) for the conference in Bozeman. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a proposal for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding. Please note that the programme does not cover costs such as accommodation, travel and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant's home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Full details and an application form will shortly be available on the conference website.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2017 10:59:26 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Happy Christmas 2017! Academics, especially retired ones, have the blessed liberty of shutting down many days prior to Christmas if not starting the process a few weeks earlier. I've been spending a bit of my liberated time reading Dame Anne Salmond's Tears of Rangi: Experiments Across Worlds (Auckland 2017). Salmond's field is Maori Studies. She writes of New Zealand "as a site of cosmo-diversity, a place where multiple worlds engage and collide". I am wanting to know more about such engagements and collisions, ontological and epistemological, and so have wandered into recent work in anthropology, Amazonian and South Pacific mostly, and into ethnomathematics, contemporary and historical. Recall Kurt Vonnegut's Bokonon, in Cat's Cradle: "Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God." This dancing lesson originated with a colleague's invitation to a workshop with anthropologists at Cambridge last Summer. So now I stumble around an unexpected dance floor, crowded with accommodating and helpful anthropologists and their fellow travelers. I do this in aid of a project to figure out what we might do with the computing we could have if, as seems likely to me, it gets where it appears to be going, toward dynamic, participant-observatory simulation of possible worlds and artificial companions. This is decidedly not futurology, rather a study of possibilities, with the conviction that studying them gives us (who are in worldly terms weak) a lever and fulcrum with which to move things before they become too heavy. In any case, I am fascinated. And I admit to having no qualms to talk about it openly, knowing that no one is likely to be crazy enough to try the same, and if someone is and does, that he or she will do it differently. The more the better, no? All of which is a way of saying, at a time long established, what I think Humanist is for, and which it occasionally demonstrates: to provide the bottles in which notes to unknown recipients may be put, then cast into the virtual sea. Who knows what comes of them? Strategic thinking is important within institutions, for the good of them and for advancement of careers, but intellectually (an old-fashioned word?) let us have more of curiosity, less of strategy! At the same time the job adverts, notices of publications, announcements of new centres and institutes &c are hugely significant -- and especially welcome to someone old enough to remember a past when there were no such jobs to be advertised, few publications, many fewer centres and so on -- when any association with computing was the kiss of death for a young academic. The problem now is, of course, to do intelligent things with these opportunities. A few weeks ago I was a guest of the Transylvania Digital Humanities Centre, Babes-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, which enviably begins with many examples to hand and choice among them. Cluj is the birthplace of the great Renaissance monarch Matthias Corvinus, who built a library that rivaled the Bibliotheca Vaticana (until it was destroyed in war) and whom Marsilio Ficino regarded a Platonic philosopher-king. We can have great expectations of this centre -- expectations that location and history will inflect in surprising ways, and so teach us what we otherwise would never have thought. Now, back home, all travelling and almost all preparations done, I write these words as messages telling me that "the holiday offers are almost over!" and that I can take them up and get the goodies delivered to the door by tomorrow. I've chosen, rather, to enjoy a bout of sharp elbows in the local supermarket so that I can get busy in the kitchen for the final push. (Preparations began with the Christmas cake and pudding in late October...) Yesterday, in this rather northerly location in the Northern Hemisphere, was the winter solstice. Now in slow degrees more light. But wherever you are within reach of Humanist, allow me to wish you the very best, for now, for 2018, for as long as the tether stretches!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 28 Dec 2017 11:04:54 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: methodology as sign of trouble? Near the end of his life John von Neumann wrote a number of short essays as a 'public person', on mathematics, physics, technology, atomic energy and warfare, handily gathered together in The Neumann Compendium, ed. Bródy and Vámos (1995). In an interdisciplinary course for students in the humanities, they would be at the top of my reading list. At the beginning of one of these, "The Mathematician", he writes that "A discussion of the nature of any intellectual effort is difficult per se -- at any rate, more difficult than the mere exercise of that particular intellectual effort." Perhaps this explains, at least in part, why so few experts in any discipline have put their hands to the writing of such essays. But I would draw your attention to the beginning of another essay in the collection, "Method in the physical sciences", where he writes, > Emphasis on methodology seems most often to arise when there are > symptoms of trouble, when a realization of difficulties makes > necessary a re-examination of some position inherited from the past. (p. 627) Usually we notice that in its application to the humanities our beloved machine is methodological in nature, hence 'digital methods' of doing this or that, rather than earlier, non-digital ways of acting. We have talked about a "methodological commons" for all disciplines defined by these methods. But what if we follow von Neumann's diagnostic and so ask, what was (and is?) the trouble in the disciplines to which the methodological machine was a response -- which made and continues to make the machine so appealing? This is not the same as asking what it can do that we couldn't do before. It is rather a question of the 'paradigm' or way of conceiving these ways of enquiry that have run into difficulties. We have talked with approbation about some fields as 'early adopters', sometimes pointed to the low-hanging fruit (e.g. words easily concorded) that made their early adoption of computing possible. Might early adoption also be a matter of the heaviest difficulties? Comments?

How is the past changing? What will become of the future? In the third issue of DIAPHANES MAGAZINE, authors, artists, and discursives try out their respective time probes in images, voices, texts, and assemblages. With Things in a Room DIAPHANES presents the rarely seen photographic work of Manuel Franquelo, who shows himself to be an artist of pioneering radicalism in an in-depth interview. In After This Comes That Before That Comes This Wolfgang Plöger works with the results of Google searches and Penelope Umbrico with the structures of the Flickr platform. Dietmar Dath’s text “Your Sprache Never Was” tells of the loss of faith in language, and Maël Renouard speaks of the “psychopathology of digital life,” while Stephen Barber pursues the prophetic force of J.G. Ballard’s last draft novel World versus America. Dieter Mersch pleads for a critique of “Algorithmic Reason” in the face of an all-embracing algorithmization of life, and Marcus Quent, in his essay, seeks a way out of the “absolute present” following the loss of “belief in the world.” The magazine also includes Corporate Love, paintings by Gilles Rotzetter, and Substation, a joint installation by Lucy McKenzie, Markus Proschek & Philip Topolovac, along with poems by Luc Meresma and the legendary butoh dancer Ko Murobushi, and an essay by Elena Vogman on “Andrei Bely’s Rhythmic Gesture”—and distributed throughout the issue are Jso Maeder’s images with time codes and several texts by Alexander Kluge. NO W HERE, the double page in the middle of DIAPHANES, shows Inseparable Angels, by Esther Shalev-Gerz, and with Futur Pluperfect Christine Tauber opens a new rubric that visits the relics of visions of the future in the image spaces of the past. The Questionnaire is compiled this time by performance artist Nicole Bachmann; Friederike Mayröcker has sent in a text for I Remember, while The Artful Flaneur visits a street in Sao Paulo; and as usual you’ll find Barbara Basting’s Facebook column, the rubrics Listmania, The Transversal Shelf, Dear Paul, and much more. --===============1391855641156009252== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php --===============1391855641156009252==-- 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 5E5A787FD; Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:19:40 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id B520A8783; Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:19:38 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 998F484BA; Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:19:35 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171229111935.998F484BA@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:19:35 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.491 the anomalous; methodology 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: <20171229111939.29381.94292@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 491.

I'd go further and say that without adversoty, change of any sort is minimal at best. Perhaps this is the danger posed by streamlined UIs or English being the lingua franca - after a while, we stop trying!

Why beside the point? Because he didn’t address any of the ideas and techniques used in AI and allied disciplines. His was not the sort of argument such that, if you took it seriously, you could improve for efforts to understand the mind through any kind of computational technique. I find the entire discussion of whether or not computers and think to be pretty much empty for that reason. This discussion seems pretty much like that. It takes place entirely outside the field of intellectual play. As for the computational vision having lost its luster, I’m not sure there IS anything such thing as THE computational vision. And in any event things have changed a bit since 1995, when Van Gelder made the remark. Moreover, I find the opposition between “(digital) computer” and “human mind” utterly inadequate to my own views on this general subject. In the late 1990s, when I was researching my book on music, I had a great deal of correspondence with the late Walter Freeman, a neuroscientist who pioneer the use of complex dynamics to understand the nervous system. I put such dynamics at the center of my account of music. And, as I do not believe music to be utterly different from language, complex dynamics plays a role in my understanding of language as well. But, alas, there’s no room in this computer/mind discussion for that. > On Dec 17, 2017, at 3:25 AM, Willard McCarty wrote: > > Thanks to Bill Benson in Humanist 31.471 for his hamburgerish American response, "where is the beef?", to my complaint about cognitivism, i.e. about the implication in certain uses of language that thinking simply is computing. I hold to my beef, that words matter, hence their implications, connotations, associations and so on. Handwaving this away simply won't do. (Note, if you will, that one's native disciplinary orientation matters; mine, being deeply literary, comes out here.) But I can be more sophisticated about this, so let me try. But isn’t paradigm change, in Kuhn’s sense, what starts happening when one native disciplinary orientation fails to grapple with problems that have arisen within it? A new orientation has to be cobbled together. It may take awhile, and the road is likely to be rocky and crooked, but eventually a new orientation emerges that can accommodate the new phenomena. Maybe you need to step outside your native orientation in order to use computation as “a telescope for the mind”, in Margaret Masterman’s metaphor, rather than as a tool for clerks.

Benzon" Subject: From Canon/Archive to a REAL REVOLUTION in literary studies Dear Willard et. al., As you know, last November Franco Moretti and a number of his students published a book consisting of a number of pamphlets from the Literary Lab. I reviewed this book, Canon/Archive: Studies in Quantitative Formalism, for 3 Quarks Daily, and then made it the center of a working paper which I posted at Academia and SSRN (links, abstract, and TOC below). I added an appendix in which I argued that Jakobson’s poetic function extends beyond poetry to non-poetic narrative forms (which as ring-composition) and can be considered a principle of computational form. And I added a long introduction in which I argued at some length that what was really important about computational criticism, as Moretti now calls it, is that it is the only form of literary criticism that focuses strictly on the string of word forms, the Saussurian signifiers. When I say computational criticism I mean just that and only that, certainly not digital humanities in general, nor forms of literary computation such as indexes, concordances, or digital editions. I’m interested in the kinds of work you find in Canon/Archive and, of course, in many other places as well. My argument on that point has to do with the concept of the text as it is used in literary criticism, which it is rather vague. Just as “salt” and “NaCl” are conceptually different (in different conceptual ontologies) – the first is defined by its sensory characteristics while the second is defined in terms of modern atomic theory of matter – so I assert that the archival, interpretable, and the semiotic text are conceptually different, though the archival and the semiotic text are physically pretty much the same (as are salt and NaCl). The interpretable text, however, is a different beast. This is the text that is subject to “close” reading to discover “hidden” meanings. This is the conception of the text operative in academic literary criticism but, as I point out in the article, it is never explicitly accounted for. One never learns just how meanings are hidden or just how close is close; one simply absorbs the meaning of these terms by learning to do criticism. The real importance of computational criticism then is that it is necessarily about the same text that linguists study, a physical object, the semiotic text, albeit one of a rather subtle and enigmatic kind. The literary critic’s interpretable text, however, is more metaphysical than physical and critics argue constantly over just what is this text that they're interpreting. To be blunt, it is whatever the critic needs it to be in order to advance interpretive claims. Computational critics can't do that. * * * * * From Canon/Archive to a REAL REVOLUTION in literary studies > Academia: https://www.academia.edu/35486902/From_Canon_Archive_to_a_REAL_REVOLUTION_in_literary_studies SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=3091816 http://ssrn.com/abstract=3091816 Abstract: Canon/Archive straddles the border between the standard interpretive literary criticism that has been in place since World War II and a new naturalist literary study in which literary texts and phenomena are treated as phenomena of the natural world, like language, without prejudice. This naturalist investigation takes the careful analytic description of texts, considered as strings of word forms, as its starting point. Canon/Archive exemplifies a so-called computational criticism in which computers are tools used for analyzing texts, often taken as a corpus of 10s, 100s, or 1000s of texts. Naturalist investigation also includes a computational approach in which computation is seen as the process linking word forms to semantic structures, expression to meaning. I examine two chapters from Canon/Archive, showing how that work can be supplemented by this other approach in which computation is a model for a mental process. “Revolution” 2 The real revolution is in attending rigorously to the signifiers in the text 3 Computational Criticism in Context 3 Word and Text 6 Moretti and the Stanford Literary Lab: Computational criticism in two senses and the prospect of a new approach to literary studies 10 The Collaboratory 10 The text, which text? 12 Topics and paragraphs 14 The direction of literary history 18 What are the institutional possibilities of a new criticism, a deeply computational one? 20 Appendix 1: Jakobson’s poetic function and the text taken as a string of word forms 23 Literary Form 23 The poetic function as a computational principle 24 Appendix 2: From distant reading to computational criticism: Canon/Archive 26 Bill Benzon bbenzon@mindspring.com 917-717-9841 http://new-savanna.blogspot.com/ http://new-savanna.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/bill.benzon http://www.facebook.com/bill.benzon http://www.flickr.com/photos/stc4blues/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/stc4blues/ https://independent.academia.edu/BillBenzon http://www.bergenarches.com/#image1 http://www.bergenarches.com/#image1 _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 975E18806; Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:32:28 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3DAB787F6; Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:32:25 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 13128870F; Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:32:20 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171229113221.13128870F@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2017 12:32:20 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.493 pubs: coming to Know, interdisciplinarity and collaboration 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: <20171229113226.4921.87951@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 493.

The question of interdisciplinarity, thus, > is most insistently a question of how to collaborate. In describing his first major interdisciplinary project, Goldhill tells how collaboration itself for each of the participants meant becoming interdisciplinary -- coming to know the fields of the other participants, "celebrated books from other fields that I had not heard of". Indeed this happens all the time even in solitude, when collaborations in a sense begin unexpectedly, through writings and in conferences, conversations and online exchanges. But all this is grounded, Goldhill points out, in solid disciplinary training and returns to one's field of origin with the improving demand for "better disciplinarity, better practice". If the conversations I overhear and the writings of which I am aware are indicative, we usually tend to stop with interdisciplinarity as a claim and collaboration a convenient social arrangement during which the participants learn a thing or two they didn't know before. That's the reason why I think the relatively new journal Know (2017--) is worth mentioning here, for its commitment to dilate from the practical concerns of forming a team to deal with problems beyond our individual powers and then doing our little bit. Allow me to recommend not only Goldhill's article but also the Editors' introduction to the first issue, G.E.R. Lloyd's "Where Now for the Interdisciplinary and Cross-Cultural Study of the Unity and Diversity of the Human Mind?" and those that follow.

I am intrigued by not only bridges but the building blocks of bridges. I wonder if, at a sufficiently abstract level, some of those blocks may exist in the practice of markup. Markup aims to create a structured object. Historically, we have come to a point where languages that express such a structured object can also be used to transform the structured object. Given the wise practise of documenting the decisions that lead to the creation of the structured object, in a sense a metalanguage is available to serve as a bridge between disciplines and further conversations about objects and their transformations. In this light, one might consider the Text Encoding Initiative as a multidisciplinary project. Notice I have avoided the mention of "method" in favour of "practice". -- 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 81530886F; Sun, 31 Dec 2017 10:25:30 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id D63008856; Sun, 31 Dec 2017 10:25:29 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 0042A8852; Sun, 31 Dec 2017 10:25:26 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20171231092527.0042A8852@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sun, 31 Dec 2017 10:25:26 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.496 tenure-track positions at Madrid 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: <20171231092530.17088.40494@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 496.

Using a concept in a discipline, which has been developed in another discipline, in and by itself does not constitute it in my version. I subscribe to the opinion, that interdisciplinarity at its loosest means that ALL participating disciplines profit from it. (And while being quoted by somebody from another discipline may enhance your personal impact factor, it neither advances your personal research, nor your discipline.) Some Humanists may find the following amusing: D. B. Rutman, History and Anthropology: Clio's Dalliances, in: Historical Methods 19 (1986), pp. 121-2. > ... realize that Clio, muse of history, herself has a history. > Anthropology is only the latest object of her ardor, and a lover > swung to on the rebound at that. Suffice to say that some years ago > ... this gave way to a quick succession of wild but never very deep > relationships with a number of the ,social sciences'. That with > statistics was perhaps the most serious, even though it had barely > progressed to the point of descriptive statistics before such > leading practitioners as Lawrence Stone and Emmanuel LeRoy Ladurie > abandoned the courtship on the grounds that the lady was overly > technical and under-rewarding. ... Part of her [Clio's] -- her > humanistic side -- wants to be Nurse Nightingale, soothing the human > heart. The other part -- the cold, clinical scientist -- would be > Madame Curie. ... By bridging to anthropology, the discipline can > become ... one in which Nurse Nightingale will somehow discover > radium. ... To put it bluntly, when Clio goes to bed with you it is > for her own satisfaction, not yours. She has no interest in > contributing to the resolution of any anthropological problem, nor > really of responding to her lover's contemplation of any historical > problem. ... She will even acknowledge you; it is Clio's nature > always to cite her lovers profusely. But she will give nothing in > return. ... Indeed, Clio enters into her various relationships -- > including that with anthropology -- barely knowing her lover's name. For some reason, while this anthropologist's declaration of distrust is unusual in being printed, I cannot avoid the impression that there are many representatives of other disciplines who have been consulted for possibilities of interdisciplinary "cooperation", which would be quite willing to agree. (Even if the offer came from the muse of another Humanities' discipline.) Great 2018, everybody, Manfred Thaller --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 10:10:53 -0600 From: Paul Fishwick Subject: Re: 31.495 interdisciplinarity and markup In-Reply-To: <20171231092417.0F7118857@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Francois: I agree with you on TEI, but the interdisciplinary nature of TEI goes further. All information structures can be viewed as real-world models. Let’s consider Tartuffe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tartuffe as one of many examples. One way to think about Tartuffe is by organizing characters, the plot, and the scenes. I feel it is less important to adhere to the standard (TEI) and more important for the student to think about what it means to view the play as a conceptual information structure. The subject matter (Tartuffe) is modeled by an information structure (markup). The markup (even if done casually without standard adherence) is interdisciplinary because it relates to theatre, literature, computer science, library science, and language. Instead of Tartuffe, we might tell students “go to your bedroom and conceptualize the bedroom objects and space as information (in a markup style)." This is what I meant by text markup being yet another example of modeling. In Fall 2017, I had students create (1) Logic-based and (2) Object-Oriented structures from Alice in Wonderland. The students were asked, throughout the semester, to view program and information structures as models, rather than as artifacts of software and hardware technology. -paul > On Dec 31, 2017, at 3:24 AM, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 495. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2017 09:49:37 -0500 (EST) > From: lachance@chass.utoronto.ca > Subject: interdisciplinarity and the object of markup > In-Reply-To: <20171230105920.ED8BE87F0@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> > > Willard > > I have been following with interest the recent (and ancient) thread on > interdisciplinarity.

For more details, see: http://dhsicolloquium.org/cfp/ For more on DHSI, see: http://dhsi.org/ Best wishes, James -- *James O'Sullivan * @jamescosullivan http://twitter.com/jamescosullivan Web: josullivan.org New Binary Press: http://newbinarypress.com http://newbinarypress.com/Bookstore.html --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 11:00:05 +0000 From: Royal Anthropological Institute Subject: Call for Papers: Art, Materiality and Representation Information about the call for papers for the Art, Materiality and Representation conference. ------------------------------------------------------------ http://mailchi.mp/therai/art-materiailty-and-representation-1046357?e=f418a49f00 ** The Call for Papers is now open. It closes on 8 January 2018. ------------------------------------------------------------ The Art, Materiality and Representation conference will be held 1 to 3 June 2018 at the British Museum, Clore Centre and SOAS, Senate House. Please browse the full list of panels (https://therai.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94e3bf4c82be9b8d19299eb8a&id=ddc01c582b&e=f418a49f00) and decide where to propose your paper. All proposals must be made via the online form that can be found on each panel page. Proposals should consist of a paper title, a (very) short abstract of <300 characters and an abstract of 250 words. On submission the proposal, the proposing author (but not any co-authors listed) will receive automated email confirming receipt. If you do not receive thisemail, please first check the login environment (click login on the left) to see if your proposal is there. If it is, it simply means confirmation got spammed or lost; and if it is not, it means you need re-submit, as process went wrong somewhere. Proposals will be marked as pending until the end of the Call for papers. Convenors will then be asked to make their decisions over the papers proposed to their workshop by 20 January 2018 and to communicate those to the proposers, marking them up within the login environment (Cocoa). Papers which are neither accepted nor rejected, but marked for 'transfer', will then be considered by the Conference Committee to see where else they might fit in the conference programme. There is no guarantee that such papers can be re-housed. We aim to resolve all transfers by 22 February 2018. ** Now browse the full list of panels and propose a paper >> (https://therai.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=94e3bf4c82be9b8d19299eb8a&id=8c4c8473fb&e=f418a49f00) ------------------------------------------------------------ ** Other useful information for after you've proposed your paper ------------------------------------------------------------ Paper authors can use the login link in the menu on the left to edit their proposals. Co-authors cannot be added/removed nor can papers be withdrawn through this environment - please email admin@therai.org.uk (mailto:admin@therai.org.uk) to do this. ** Pre-circulation of papers ------------------------------------------------------------ RAI has no rule about this; however many convenors are keen to pre-circulate completed papers. To facilitate this and save on loads of email traffic, authors can upload PDFs of their papers within Cocoa, which will then show as a downloadable file beneath their abstract on the public workshop page on this site. It is your choice whether you instruct your presenters to make use of this. ** Timing of presentations ------------------------------------------------------------ Convenors are reasonably free to run their sessions as they like, but the norm is to allot each presenter a maximum of 20 minutes (for presentation and questions/discussion). The key is to respect the fact that many presenters have travelled a long way in order to be able to contribute and clearly need time to set out their argument. We are unable to represent specific intra-workshop timings in our programme. Delegates reading the conference book will have to work on the assumption that papers will be evenly distributed through the workshop. Clearly you may wish to amalgamate discussion time, but where possible please try to stick to this even distribution. ** Communication between authors/convenors ------------------------------------------------------------ Convenor/author email addresses are not shown on the workshop pages for anti-spam reasons. However there is an in-built secure email messaging system. If you cannot work that, please email admin@therai.org.uk (mailto:admin@therai.org.uk) to obtain relevant email addresses. Any queries with the above please email admin@therai.org.uk. ** CONFERENCE FEE: ------------------------------------------------------------ Non-Fellow: £190 RAI Member: £170 RAI Fellow: £95 Concessions: £80 RAI Student Fellow: £60 Royal Anthropological Institute 50 Fitzroy Street, London, United Kingdom London, W1T 5BT United Kingdom _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id E54BA8939; Thu, 4 Jan 2018 10:13:18 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7646D870E; Thu, 4 Jan 2018 10:13:17 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 480C18781; Thu, 4 Jan 2018 10:13:14 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20180104091314.480C18781@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 10:13:14 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.501 a Juxta question 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: <20180104091318.7105.85299@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 501.

I had a look at the Juxta source on GitHub, and based on what your colleague says, the problem is coming from the CriticalApparartusReport [sic] class. The constructor does the following: public CriticalApparartusReport(CriticalApparatus apparatus, String > title) throws ReportedException { > try { > this.engine = new VelocityEngine(); > this.engine.setProperty(RuntimeConstants.RESOURCE_LOADER, > "classpath"); > this.engine.setProperty("classpath.resource.loader.class", > > "org.apache.velocity.runtime.resource.loader.ClasspathResourceLoader"); > this.engine.init(); > } catch (Exception e) { > throw new ReportedException(e, "Error Initializing Report > Engine."); > } > this.title = title; > formContext = createContext(apparatus); > } > ...which means it's trying to get an instance of Apache's Velocity template engine, set a couple of its properties, and then initialize it, but something's going wrong. It looks like the installer includes the Velocity library, which should be fine, so it may be a classpath problem, or an error in Velocity itself. I can't really say more without seeing his full setup, though, so I'd suggest he email technologies@nines.org (which seems to be the Juxta support address) with his operating system and Java version for assistance. I hope this helps at least a bit in tracking down the ultimate source of the problem. -- Tom Salyers On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 9:07 AM, Humanist Discussion Group < willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk> wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 499. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2018 09:27:25 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: a Juxta question > > A Russian colleague has written to me, asking the following question > about use of Juxta: > > > I need your help on one question concerned with the Digital Humanities. > > Some days ago I downloaded a program named JUXTA for collating the text. > > It normally works until some moment when I try to generate a critical > > apparate.

I have posted them on Twitter, where they seem to be starting a discussion, but wondered whether they might also interest the Humanist Discussion Group. The Twitter postings have images, but the link below will take readers to the images: http://www.marinelives.org/wiki/New_Year%27s_wishes,_2018 *Four ideas to change the way we do manuscript based history:* NEW YEAR'S WISH 1: A world in which we could download a single manuscript image from an archival library or museum website, or take our own image of a physical manuscript page, transcribe it, or add key words, then lob it into the Commons. All data would be recorded with the image, and a Universal Search Tool would search the Commons to discover all manuscript content. NEW YEAR'S WISH 2: A manuscript image uploading and exchange site for PhD students to upload and share manuscript images as part of their research work, or at the conclusion of their PhD, which would otherwise be unpublished. NEW YEAR'S WISH 3: A seventeenth century combination of Zoominfo and LinkedIn to create, improve and make available prosopographies by automatically aggregating historical web & archival sources. NEW YEAR'S WISH 4: A digital camera, which saves each new image of a manuscript page with its archival reference, not a number file name. We could load a thousand images a day to our laptops and search for them instantly by archival reference. In summary: (1) User portable intelligent manuscript images (2) Manuscript image sharing under non-commercial Creative Commons licences (3) Machine driven prosopographies (4) Intelligent image labelling Best wishes Colin Greenstreet Co-director, MarineLives E: colin.greenstreet@gmail.com _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id AB43E8934; Fri, 5 Jan 2018 09:49:34 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id D5CCE892A; Fri, 5 Jan 2018 09:49:32 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 9B9FC87E9; Fri, 5 Jan 2018 09:49:30 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180105084930.9B9FC87E9@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2018 09:49:30 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.503 four ideas for doing ms history 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: <20180105084933.18117.64818@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 503.

One of the features is a filename template editor that will let you specify the format of the image filenames--you can see an example at http://www.digicamcontrol.com/doc/userguide/session . I haven't used it myself, but judging by the documentation, it *should* allow you to capture images with specified archival references as their filenames and append any other identifiers you might like--sequential numbers, dates, and so on. One caveat, though: it's apparently Windows-only. If that's not a deal-breaker, though, give it a try and see if it works for what you need. --Tom Salyers --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 13:40:09 -0600 (CST) From: Clai Rice Subject: Re: [Humanist] 31.502 Four ideas to change the way we do ms history In-Reply-To: <20180104091518.5D1BF890D@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> > > NEW YEAR'S WISH 4: A digital camera, which saves each new image of a > manuscript page with its archival reference, not a number file name.

Maybe it's just my unfamiliarity with the specific process at hand, but this last wish seems doable. The only way a camera could know an archival reference is if a human told it. Using something like CHDK (http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK) creates options for file naming, and also for camera control. You could have a human type or say the file name before taking the photo. Or you could generate a human- & machine-readable bar code to project on the page or generate in a section of the subsequent image, then have a computer read the code and change the file name as it saves the image to archive. But also this sounds like a database problem. Why do archival images have to be saved with certain file names? A DB can easily keep track of an image and all its metadata. I could name my images grandma01, grandma02, then tell the DB what the correct archival name is. Users would never know how the correct named image is served to them. Moving the bottleneck from one place in the process to another could enable new ways to open it up.

I am wondering what could our world, relations and usage of technologies be if the internationally-studied second language was Latin (!) or, if not so, if Latin was not an optional matter that does not longer gain interest, but a fundamental subject of our courses of study. Thank you for your attention, kind regards.

Convenors: - Daniel Lopez Gomez (Universitat Oberta de Catalunya) - Joanna Latimer (University of York) Short abstract This panel aims to open up the value of intimacy as a quality of socio-material relations in knowledge-making and communities of practice. The focus is on the attachments and detachments that appear crucial to understanding affective relations and ecologies inside and beyond science and technology. Long abstract This panel aims to open-up the value of intimacy as a quality of socio-material relations in knowledge-making and communities of practice. Where intimacy has been mentioned it is usually in the context of distinguishing local and experiential knowledge from universal and scientific knowledge. In contrast, as Raffles (2003) points out, intimacy can be foregrounded as a site for the social production of knowledge across the social, human and life sciences, to help rework human/nature and socio/technical boundaries. The aim of the panel is thus to foreground what is so often made invisible in extant accounts of how knowledge is done. The focus is on the attachments and detachments that appear crucial to understanding affective relations and ecologies inside and beyond the sciences, including the social sciences. This entails pressing how the 'affective turn' in Science & Technology Studies does more than represent a 'turn to ontology'. We welcome contributions that explore how the foregrounding of affect restructures possibilities for 'situated knowledge' and non-anthropocentric ('posthuman') modes of relatedness in a wide range of substantive domains and communities of practice - from laboratories, metric and digital worlds, care and disability, human-non human relationalities with animals and objects. In so doing, we want to address different aspects of how and when intimacy becomes a quality of entanglements. Issues addressed include the politics of intimacy and its different characterizations: as ordinary and dangerous, a site of alterity and "contamination" but also of attachment, belonging and companionship. The call for papers closes at midnight CET on February 14th, 2018. Paper proposals can be submitted here: https://nomadit.co.uk/easst/easst2018/conferencesuite.php/panels/6228 Paper proposals must consist of: - a paper title - the name/s and email address/es of author/s - a short abstract of fewer than 300 characters - a long abstract of fewer than 250 words With very best wishes, Joanna and Daniel -- The Biosocial Genome? http://embor.embopress.org/content/early/2017/09/20/embr.201744953 Threshold Joanna Latimer, Professor of Sociology, Science & Technology Director of Teaching & Director of SATSU , Room W/232, Department of Sociology, Wentworth College, University of York Heslington, York, YO10 5DD 01904 324 735 --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 15:49:05 +0000 From: Tomasz Neugebauer Subject: Call for Papers extension - Open Repositories 2018: Sustaining Open The 13th International Conference on Open Repositories, OR2018, will be held on June 4th-7th, 2018 in Bozeman, Montana, USA. Call for papers and scholarships have been extended until the 15th January 2018. The theme for Open Repositories 2018 is Sustaining Open. http://www.or2018.net/call-for-papers/ Research and Cultural Heritage communities have embraced the idea of Open; open communities, open source software, open data, scholarly communications, and open access publications and collections. These projects and communities require different modes of thinking and resourcing than purchasing vended products. While open may be the way forward, mitigating fatigue, finding sustainable funding, and building flexible digital repository platforms is something most of us are striving for. Submissions this year should focus on the how, why, and what it will take to make open sustainable. While not limited to the below topics, we're focusing our attention on issues around the sustainability of: · Open source software - sustainability of software developed locally and large open source systems, legacy code · Community - reaching out to new audiences, developing a community, governance · Content - research data, digital preservation, persistent urls, archiving · Teams/People - staff and knowledge within the community, contingency planning, training and development, and succession planning · Projects - sustainability of projects beyond the grant, maturing communities · Infrastructure/Integrations - integrations between systems, changing technical environments · Policy - national, international, local and community policy and decisions · Challenges of sustainability - funding, local, technical, community · Rights and Copyright - including Data Protection, sharing and storing of content · Reuse, standards, and reproducibility - for example: software, data, content types · New open technologies and standards Submission Process Accepted proposals in all categories will be made available through the conference's web site https://www.conftool.net/or2018, and later they and associated materials will be made available in an open repository. Some conference sessions may be live streamed or recorded, then made publicly available. Interest Groups This year there are no separate interest groups for the different repository systems, instead if your 24x7 or presentation submission is related to a specific repository system please indicate so in your proposal. Presentations Presentation proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. Presentations are 30 minutes long including questions. Panels Panel proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). Successful submissions in past years have typically described work relevant to a wide audience and applicable beyond a single software system. All panels are expected to include at least some degree of diversity in viewpoints and personal background of the panelists. Panel sessions are expected to include a short presentation from each panel member followed by a discussion. Panels may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. Panels can be 45 or 90 minutes long. Discussion Question and Answer Discussion Q&A proposals are expected to be two to four pages (see below for submission templates). This is your opportunity to suggest members of the community to join in a Q&A discussion on various proposed topics. This is meant to be a deep-dive into why a decision was made, how projects got started, where an idea came from, or anything else that you want to know more about. Imagine this as a 45 - 90 minute grilling at a cocktail party but on a stage in front of your peers. Q&As may take an entire session or may be combined with another submission. This session will not be video recorded. Discussion Q&A can be 45 or 90 minutes long. 24×7 Presentations 24×7 presentations are 7 minute presentations comprising no more than 24 slides. Successful 24x7 presentations have a clear focus on one or a few ideas and a narrower focus than a 25 minute presentation. Similar to Pecha Kuchas or Lightning Talks, these 24×7 presentations will be grouped into blocks based on conference themes, with each block followed by a moderated question and answer session involving the audience and all block presenters. This format will provide conference goers with a fast-paced survey of like work across many institutions. Proposals for 24×7 presentations should be one to two pages (see below for submission templates). 24x7 presentations are 7 minutes long. Posters We invite one-page proposals for posters that showcase current work (see below for submission templates). OR2018 will feature physical posters only. Posters will be on display throughout the conference. Instructions for preparing the posters will be distributed to authors of accepted poster proposals prior to the conference. Poster submitters will be expected to give a one-minute teaser to encourage visitors to their poster during the conference. Posters presentations will be 1 minute. Developer Track: Top Tips, Cunning Code and Imaginative Innovation Each year a significant proportion of the delegates at Open Repositories are software developers who work on repository software or related services. OR2018 will feature a Developer Track that will provide a focus for showcasing work and exchanging ideas. Building on the success of previous Developer Tracks, where we encouraged live hacking and audience participation, we invite members of the technical community to share the features, systems, tools and best practices that are important to you (see below for submission templates). The 15 minute presentations can be as informal as you like, but we encourage live demonstrations, tours of code repositories, examples of cool features, and the unique viewpoints that so many members of our community possess. Proposals should be one to two pages, including a title, a brief outline of what will be shared with the community, and technologies covered. Developers are also encouraged to contribute to the other tracks. Developer Track presentations are 15 minutes including questions. Ideas Challenge OR2018 will also again include the popular Ideas Challenge. Taking part in this competition provides an opportunity to take an active role in repository innovation, in collaboration with your peers and in pursuit of prizes. The Ideas Challenge is open to all conference attendees. Further details and guidance on the Ideas Challenge will be forthcoming closer to the conference. Workshops and tutorials The first day of Open Repositories will be dedicated to workshops and tutorials. One to two-page proposals addressing theoretical or practical issues around digital repositories are welcomed. See below for Proposal Templates; please address the following in your proposal: · The subject of the event and what knowledge you intend to convey · Length of session (90 minutes, 3 hours or a whole day) · A brief statement on the learning outcomes from the session · The target audience for your session and how many attendees you plan to accommodate · Technology and facility requirements · Any other supplies or support required · Anything else you believe is pertinent to carrying out the session Please note, the program committee may consider submissions for other tracks and formats, as appropriate. Submission System https://www.conftool.net/or2018 Review Process All submissions will be peer reviewed and evaluated according to the criteria outlined in the call for proposals, including quality of content, significance, originality, and thematic fit. Code of Conduct The OR2018 Code of Conduct and Anti-Harassment Policy are available at http://or2018.net/code-of-conduct/. Scholarship Programme OR2018 will again run a Scholarship Programme which will enable us to provide support for a small number of full registered places (including the poster reception and conference dinner) for the conference in Bozeman. The programme is open to librarians, repository managers, developers and researchers in digital libraries and related fields. Applicants submitting a proposal for the conference will be given priority consideration for funding. Please note that the programme does not cover costs such as accommodation, travel and subsistence. It is anticipated that the applicant's home institution will provide financial support to supplement the OR Scholarship Award. Full details and an application form will shortly be available on the conference website.

However, to what extent are these digitised newspaper archives being used in digital humanities research? Web-archiving began in 1996 with the Internet Archive initiative and its well-known digital archive ‘The Wayback Machine ’. Since then a multitude of web-archiving initiatives have been established to continue these efforts. However, the true potential of digital newspaper corpora and web-archives is as yet under-exploited. Hacking the news: from digitised newspapers to the archived-web: an introductory workshop to text and data-mining is intended to help redress this balance. Hacking the news is a 1.5 day workshop, prior to DHN 2018 http://dig-hum-nord.eu/dhn-2018 . Primarily intended for, but not limited to, early career researchers, the aim of this workshop is to provide an introduction to a range of topics to consider when undertaking digital analysis of newspaper corpora and analysing web-archives for research. A draft programme for the workshop is available. Day one of the workshop will focus on setting the context. Topics such as: How are digital newspaper corpora created? What is Optical Character Recognition? How does that differ from Optical Layout Recognition? How does news on the archived web differ from digitised newspapers? What data formats are used for the archived web and how do we analyse Web Archive datasets? Day two of the workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to get their (digital) hands dirty, by working with digital newspaper and web-archives. Corpora will be provided in a number of languages, as far as possible, based on the needs of the workshop participants. As well as corpus preparation, where issues such as data cleaning will be explored, there will be opportunity to test a range of text and data mining tools for analysing digital corpora. Call for Participation: To participate in the workshop (ca. 25-30 participants), please complete this form with details of your research interests, preferred languages for the digital corpora, level of technical experience, motivation for participating in the workshop plus a short biographical note by Monday 15 January 2018. Venue: Hacking the News is hosted by the National Library of Finland’s Network Services Division , Kaikukatu 4, Helsinki. Organisers: This workshop is co-organised by the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (GhentCDH), the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) and the National Library of Finland, in collaboration with the Helsinki Centre for Digital Humanities (HELDIG), Digital Humanities Lab (DIGHUMLAB), Denmark, the DH Lab of École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C2DH), Alan Turing Institute, Platform DH, University of Antwerp and the Leuven Centre for Digital Humanities.

The LDL workshop series has a general focus on LOD-based language resources, vocabularies , infrastructures and technologies as means for managing, improving and using language resources on the Web, addressing communities as diverse as applied linguistics, lexicography, digital humanities, natural language processing and information technology. LDL provides the primary forum fo r these communities to present and to discuss use cases, experiences, bes t practices, recommendations and technologies of Linguistic Linked Open Data in an interdisciplinary setting, addressing topics such as (i) linking language resources: Linked Data facilitates to the interoperability, re-usability and discoverability of language resources as well as information integration across them.

The workshop will also provide the opportunity for the critical reflection of Linked Open Data techniques and their application in linguistics, natural language processing and related fields, i.e., to express experiences, challenges, crucial issues, missing aspects regarding the reuse, creation and exploitation of Linguistic Linked Open Data. We invite presentations of algorithms, methodologies, experiments, use cases, descriptions of research projects and position papers regarding t he creation, publication or application of language resources and their linking, as well as descriptions of such data and its uses in research (linguistics, lexicology, Digital Humanities) and technology (natural language processing, lexicography, localization). This includes the following aspects: (1) Building and managing linked language resources - Vocabularies and best practices for language resources and their linking. - Application of LOD in language resource infrastructures. - Metadata linking and curation for language resources on the Web. (2) LLOD technology and methodology - Methodologies to develop linked language resources on the Web. - Using natural language processing to enhance Linked Open Data. - Leveraging Linguistic Linked Open Data and Machine Learning. - Methods for linking dictionaries across languages. (3) LLOD applications - Using Linked Open Data to facilitate natural language processing. - Using Linked Open Data for quantitative and qualitative linguistic research. - Linguistic Linked Open Data for Digital Humanities. - Linking language resources and external community resources. - Using Linked Open Data to connect lexicographic resources. (4) Critical Reflection - Challenges of scalability, multilinguality and interoperability in the Web. - Legal, social and scientific aspects of Linguistic Linked Open Data . - LLOD revisited: Case studies, use cases, and lessons learnt. We cordially invite submissions to the 6th Workshop on Linked Data in Linguistics (LDL-2018): Towards Linguistic Data Science, held in conjunction with the 11th Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC-2018), Saturday, 12 May 2018, Miyazaki, Japan, http://ldl2018.linguistic-lod.org/. For scope and topics see the workshop description above. We invite both long (8 pages and 2 pages of references, formatted according to the LREC guidelines) and short papers (4 pages and 2 pages of references) representing original research, innovative approaches and resource descriptions. Short papers may also represent project descriptions. These do not have to be implemented but discuss to what extent and for which purposes Linguistic Linked Open Data is reused or created. Projects that are still in their early stages and seek advice from the broader Linguistic Linked Data community are welcome, especial ly if they include underrepresented fields of study.

I don't think we need to fear a quick descent into a "technical support" atmosphere, based on one question like this. Humanist has a long, well-established tradition and culture that will determine the flow of discourse. And I would imagine that on a list like this there must be a fair number of people who can either answer, or who might be interested in this issue. Where's the harm?

I am most grateful to those who have already participated. To those yet to participate I kindly ask to spend 5-10 minutes of your valuable time on this survey. A distinguishing feature of DH is the collaboration between humanists and computational researchers. As part of my PhD research on digital history practices, I therefore am conducting an online survey to investigate the practices of collaboration. If you are part of a DH collaboration, I would like to kindly ask you to participate in this survey. This survey is held to gain an overview of how collaborations in digital history and digital humanities are organised. Questions will focus on the organisation of people in the collaboration, the physical space, and the time frame of the collaboration. Filling out the survey should take about 10 minutes. All data will be reported anonymously. The anonymous data will be made available open access later. To participate in the survey, please follow www.maxkemman.nl/survey To learn more about the study, please see www.maxkemman.nl/aboutsurvey If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact me via max.kemman@uni.lu.

You are invited to DLFxDHSI, a one-day unconference on the theme of digital libraries, digital humanities, and social justice, to be hosted by the Digital Library Federation in partnership with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) in Victoria, BC. The event will begin with a joint DHSI and DLF Institute Lecture, poster/digital demo session, and reception on Friday, 8 June 2018. Highly collaborative and interactive DLFx unconference sessions will run throughout the day on Saturday, June 9, followed by short DHSI workshops on Sunday, June 10. Register Here How can we engage in social justice work with our teaching, scholarship, and practice? How can we think critically about the interdisciplinary, intersectional methods that social justice work necessitates? How might we consider the ways that digital libraries and DH pedagogy can create both digital and physical spaces for students to follow theory with action? Because DLFxDHSI is an unconference—a grassroots, conversation-based event without predetermined presentations—we’ll need your input on session topics. We will accept proposals for engaging, dynamic 90-second lightning talks as well as posters for the reception on a first-come/first served basis (register now!), but otherwise we will build the program together on Saturday, June 9. Submit a Lightning Talk/Poster/Digital Demo Proposal! The DLFxDHSI unconference will be hosted by DLF’s Digital Library Pedagogy Group (#DLFteach ) and a newly formed DLF “Miracle Workers ” group for digital scholarship librarians and coordinators. (The "Miracle Workers" group will start with a conversation to settle on an appropriate name! Join us to contribute.) We look forward to welcoming you in Victoria!

This international summer school aims at: * giving a comprehensive presentation of — and opening discussions on — current opportunities offered by digital technologies: access to original documents, modes of (collaborative) edition, new opportunities to handle and search corpuses; * evaluating the impact of digital approaches on the methodology and research practices in the history of science; * raising questions on their advantages and limits concerning their actual capacity to deliver new results and open new research perspectives. In addition to classes and lectures, workshops will be organized to enable participants to test approaches and tools on their own corpus and research data. The speakers will include specialists in the digital humanities as well as historians of mathematics who use digital tools. Housing and lunches will be free, offered by the summer school. Registration is free of charge but mandatory. To participate in the summer school, please register on the following website: http://school2018.imj-prg.fr/index-en.php, under the section “Registration”.

ANEE asks: How do changing imperial dynamics impact social group identities and lifeways over a millennium? ANEE covers the Neo-Assyrian, Neo-Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic, and early Roman / Parthian Empires. ANEE engages with methodologically varied yet integrated research on the long-term processes by which social group identities and lifeways were negotiated. Taken together, the innovations of ANEE are the integrated longue durée approach; and the methodological innovativeness of each team (both separately and in collaboration). There will be several recruitment calls for fixed term positions during ANEE's lifespan (doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and university researchers). ANEE is now recruiting members for three teams which investigate identity-building processes. Each team has a methodologically specific approach yet collaborates on four work packages. Applications are invited for DOCTORAL RESEARCHERS (1-3) for a fixed term of up to 4 years, starting on or before 1 September 2018 to work in the University of Helsinki. The successful candidates' research projects will focus on the goals of a team or teams. The applicant should indicate to which team she/he is applying. The selected doctoral candidates will need to apply for acceptance in the graduate school for either the Faculty of Arts or Faculty of Theology in March 2018. Their main duties will consist of PhD studies and writing of a dissertation. As ANEE is deeply multidisciplinary, competence in more than one field and/or proof of successful scientific collaboration will be considered an advantage. Team 1 "Digital Humanities Approaches" develops digital humanities approaches (especially social network analysis and language technology), using these to supplement the more traditional Assyriological approaches. Team 1 is looking for applicants with a solid background in Assyriology or a related field (within the chronological scope of ANEE) and/or skills in Digital Humanities that can be put to use in relation to ANEE's goals. Team 1 is led by Saana Svärd (saana.svard@helsinki.fi). Team 2 "Social Scientific Theory & Applications" tests and refines theoretical models from the social sciences for ancient evidence, integrating anthropological approaches to archaeology with sociological readings of textual and archaeological evidence. Team 2 seeks students with backgrounds in history of the Levant and/or the social sciences, and especially with an interest in migration, forced labor, and/or elite identities, and/or ancient historians of the Persian Empire with similar profiles. Willingness to collaborate with other teams and multiple work packages is desirable. Team 2 is led by Dr. Jason Silverman (jason.silverman@helsinki.fi). Team 3 "Material Culture & Community Heritage" investigates the impact of each empire on ancient local communities inhabiting the imperial fringes and provides a sustainable future for this heritage. This it does through an archaeological field survey program in the ancient imperial fringe zone of southern Jordan and by developing a local community outreach program there. Our work in Finland revolves around promoting an understanding of Ancient Near Eastern heritage and culture by developing a touring museum exhibition on the ancient Near East. The team also aims to collaborate with the Finnish authorities to further develop the policies and legislation regarding the trade in illicit antiquities. Team 3 seeks doctoral candidates in ANE archaeology, preferably with experience in GIS, remote sensing, and/or satellite analysis. Team 3 is led by Dr. Antti Lahelma (antti.lahelma@helsinki.fi), who is also the vice-director of ANEE. For more information on the three teams and the work packages, please see www.helsinki.fi/ancient-near-eastern-empires An appointee to the position of doctoral researcher must hold a Master's degree in a relevant field, and must subsequently be accepted as a doctoral candidate in the graduate school in the Faculty of Arts and/or Theology. The appointee must have the ability to conduct independent scientific research. Teaching or teaching-related tasks will form 5 % of the position. The candidate should have excellent analytical and methodological skills, and be able to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary scientific community. The successful candidates are expected to have excellent skills in written and oral English. Skills in Finnish or Swedish are not required. Relocation costs can be negotiated and ANEE will offer help and information for the practicalities, if needed. ANEE is functioning in the Faculty of Arts (Teams 1 and 3) and in the Faculty of Theology (Team 2), located in the City Centre Campus. The city of Helsinki is the capital city of Finland, with a population of ca. 600 000. It has been consistently ranked amongst the top cities in the world for quality of living.

To be held as part of the 11th edition of the Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC), at the Phoenix Seagaia Resort, Miyazaki, Japan. Website: https://www.clarin.eu/ParlaCLARIN Submission Deadline: 20 January 2018 Submission page: https://www.softconf.com/lrec2018/ParlaCLARIN2018/ ============== Workshop Description Parliamentary data is a major source of socially relevant content. It is available in ever larger quantities, is multilingual, accompanied by rich metadata, and has the distinguishing characteristic that it is spoken language produced in controlled circumstances that has been traditionally transcribed but now increasingly released also in audio and video formats. All those factors in combination require solutions related to its archiving, structuring, synchronization, visualization, querying and analysis. Furthermore, adequate approaches to its exploitation also have to take into account the need of researchers from vastly different Humanities and Social Sciences fields, such as political sciences, sociology, history, and psychology. An inspiring CLARIN-PLUS cross-disciplinary workshop "Working with parliamentary records" [1] that was held in Sofia, Bulgaria, in Spring 2017, and a comprehensive overview of a multitude of the existing parliamentary resources within the CLARIN infrastructure [2] clearly indicated a need for better harmonization, interoperability and comparability of the resources and tools relevant for the study of parliamentary discussions and decisions, not only in Europe but worldwide. This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in compiling, annotating, structuring, linking and visualising parliamentary records that are suitable for research in a wide range of disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. We invite unpublished original work focusing on the collection, analysis and processing of parliamentary records. Objective Due to Freedom of Information Acts that are supported by the United Nations and set in place in over 100 countries worldwide, parliamentary debates are being increasingly easy to obtain, and have always been of interest to researchers from a wide range fields in Humanities and Social Sciences both for the potential influence of their content, and the specificities of the formalized, often persuasive and emotional language use in this context. As a consequence, there are many initiatives, on the national and international levels, that aim at compiling and analysing parliamentary data. Recent CLARIN-PLUS survey on parliament data has identified over 20 corpora of parliamentary records, with over half of them being available within the CLARIN infrastructure [3]. Given the maturity, variety, and potential of this type of language data as well as the rich metadata it is complemented with, it is urgent to gather researchers both from the side of those producing parliamentary corpora and making them available, as well as those making use of them for linguistic, historical, political, sociological etc. research in order to share methods and approaches of compiling, annotating and exploring them in order to achieve harmonization of the compiled resources, and to ensure current and future comparability of research on national datasets as well as promote transnational analyses. Topics of interest Topics include but are not limited to: -- Creation and annotation of parliamentary data in textual and/or spoken format -- Annotation standards and best practices for parliamentary corpora -- Accessibility, querying and visualisation of parliamentary data -- Text analytics, semantic processing and linking of parliamentary data -- Parliamentary corpora and multilinguality -- Studies based on parliamentary corpora Submission & Publication We accept submission of long papers (up to 8 pages), short papers (up to 4 pages) and demo papers (up to 4 pages) to be presented as a long or short oral presentation at the workshop. The papers of the workshop will be published in online proceedings. When submitting a paper from the START page, authors will be asked to provide essential information about resources (in a broad sense, i.e. also technologies, standards, evaluation kits, etc.) that have been used for the work described in the paper or are a new result of your research. Moreover, ELRA encourages all LREC authors to share the described LRs (data, tools, services, etc.) to enable their reuse and replicability of experiments (including evaluation ones). For contact data, stylesheets, up-to-date details on submission and the workshop itself, please consult the workshop website.

Currently, my group is doing research in two main areas: Satisfiability Testing and Computational Modeling of Human Reasoning. We intend to strengthen these areas. Hence, possible research topics include -- but are not limited to -- the following: Satisfiability Testing: - further development of our SAT-solver RISS - parallel SAT-solving (DFG research grant) - verification of SAT-solvers - model counting - incremental SAT-solving - planning and bounded model checking - satisfiability modulo theories - application of novel learning techniques to SAT-solvers - application of SAT-solvers to real-world problems Computational Modeling of Human Reasoning: - further development of our logic programming approach, the weak completion semantics - modeling conditionals in real-world applications - bounded skeptical abduction - modeling individual reasoners - application of novel learning techniques to human reasoning tasks - further developing of our connectionist (or neural network) model for the weak completion semantics The new research assistants will receive full-employment contracts with the Technische Universität Dresden for six and three years (the latter being extendable to six years). The monthly salary is about 4600 EUR. Research assistants should pursue their research interests with the goal of successfully defending a PhD- or a Habilitation-thesis. They will receive a teaching assignment of four hours per week during the lecturing periods; they are responsible for exercises and the supervision of students; they support me in examinations and other administrative duties including the acquisition of third-party research funds and the management of the European master's program in Computational Logic. Besides that, applicants must hold a master (or equivalent) degree in Computer Science or related fields. Very good knowledge in one or more of the following areas is desirable: - logics in computer science - artificial intelligence - automated reasoning - non-monotonic reasoning - theoretical computer science - human reasoning The positions are also open to Post-Docs. The languages used in my research group are German and English. The teaching assignments are usually within the European Master's Program in Computational Logic and, thus, are in English. However, occasionally I also have to teach in the undergraduate programs of the Faculty of Computer Science and teaching assignments in these programs are in German. At the Faculty of Computer Science, each research group maintains its own computers, which in our case are Linux and Apple systems. Currently, our computer systems are maintained by students and we expect that one of the new research assistants is interested and able to guide these students. The Technische Universität Dresden has a High Performance Cluster for running experiments, which my group has used extensively in the past for evaluating our SAT-solvers. If you are interested in one of these positions then please contact me. The official deadline for applications is January 31, 2018.

SUBMISSION DETAILS: http://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/ ABOUT THE CONFERENCE Join us on July 18-20, 2018 for the 9th annual International Conference on Social Media and Society (#SMSociety). The conference is an interdisciplinary gathering of social media researchers, practitioners, and analysts from around the world. The 2018 conference is hosted by the Centre for Business Data Analytics at the Copenhagen Business School. In 2012, in the wake of Occupy and the Arab Spring, the #SMSociety community explored networked influence and virality, and saw social media and viral events as a democratizing force. Fast forward five years and we find ourselves in quite a different, some would argue, darker social media landscape where those same democratizing forces are now being exploited in ways we could not foresee. With the rapid change on social media platforms and their affordances, the heightened emphasis on mobile and visual communication, the rise of bots, and the increased participation of state actors, we believe it is time to revisit the ideas of Networked Influence and Virality once more! Powered by networked influence and made possible by privately owned social media platforms, we are said to be in a sharing economy. We are now owning less and sharing more, giving and receiving crowdsourced content, adapting, innovating, remaking, and re-sharing original and remixed materials. New attitudes, practices, and legal precedents about ownership, rights, and information evaluation are emerging with the growing use of social media. The joys of sharing and connecting through social media-as amateur music videos inspire responses and the sharing of cute animal videos brings joy to millions-are tempered with concerns about the manipulation and exploitation of social media platforms. Hateful, anti-social speech, coordinated misinformation campaigns (i.e. "fake news") and "false flag" operation by actors unknown now dominate the news cycle and compete for an opportunity to "go viral." Considering the rapid changes in social media environments, use, and users, the conference organizers invite scholarly and original submissions that relate to the 2018 theme of "Networked Influence and Virality." We welcome both quantitative and qualitative work which crosses interdisciplinary boundaries and expands our understanding of the current and future trends in social media research, especially those that explore some of the questions and issues raised below: * How do ideas spread online? What are the outcomes of the viral spread of news, memes, content, and creative production? * Who are the new influencers and power players in the information landscape of social media? * How important are bots in this landscape? How do bots act as social actors? In what ways are they transforming social media? * Algorithmic filtering is now the norm on all major social media platforms; how has their implementation changed the user experience? * What are the impacts of misinformation and propaganda on elections, commerce, and the attention economy? * Is faster, frictionless communication still an ideal to strive for or have we gone too far? Do we need to reintroduce some frictions back to social media platforms? * How do corporate interests, activities, sales, and profit motivations drive or otherwise affect sharing practices? * What are the characteristics of contemporary social media practices that drive the need for new laws, sharing conventions, censorship, rights to be heard and to be forgotten? * Do social media users understand, or are they even aware of, the ethical considerations related to sharing, and re-mixing content on social media? * How do users evaluate information received through social media? * How does viral culture affect policy, power dynamics, corporations, activists, and personal interests? * What new methodologies, tools, and frameworks can researchers bring to bear in studying the flow of information on social media? * How do sharing, memes, and viral events contribute to theory-building about our society? From its inception, the International Conference on Social Media & Society Conference (#SMSociety) has focused on the best practices for studying the impact and implications of social media on society. Our invited academic and industry keynotes have highlighted the shifting questions and concerns for the social media research community. From introducing media multiplexity and networked individualism with Caroline Haythornthwaite and Barry Wellman in 2010 and 2011, to measuring influence with Gilad Lotan and Sharad Goel in 2012 and 2013, to defining social media research as a field with Keith Hampton in 2014, to identifying our commitments as social media researchers in policy making with Bill Dutton in 2015, to exploring the future of social media technologies with John Weigelt in 2015, to highlighting the challenges of social media data mining in the context of big data with Susan Halford and Helen Kennedy in 2016; and more recently discussing the dark side of social media with Lee Rainie and Ron Deibert in 2017. Organized by the Social Media Lab http://socialmedialab.ca/ at Ted Rogers School of Management at Ryerson University, the conference provides participants with opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers. The conference's intensive three-day program features workshops, full papers, work-in-progress papers, panels, and posters. The wide-ranging topics in social media showcase research from scholars working in many fields including Communication, Computer Science, Education, Journalism, Information Science, Management, Political Science, Sociology, Social Work, etc. http://socialmediaandsociety.org/submit/ TOPICS OF INTEREST .

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2018 05:26:25 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: solid ground? A question that has come in and out of focus for me over the years, and which has recently come back in due to explorations in cognitive science, is this: where do we go, in what direction, to reach solid epistemological/ontological ground, in research with computing for the humanities? What sort of ground is it? The cognitive science in question is Michael Anderson's, in his recent book After Phrenology: Neural Reuse and the Interactive Brain (2014). (I picked up this book at the recommendation of a colleague in cogsci; I asked him because I wanted to know what was happening there with the 'computational theory of mind'.) Anderson develops a strong alternative to notions of localised functionality in the brain and of computational symbol processing. For support, in addition to evidence from the lab, he reaches out to experimental psychology for neurologically relevant psychological results -- the '4 out of 5 people choose this rather than that' kind of evidence. I have no quarrel with such evidence. But what bothers me is his assumed generalisation from these '4 out of 5' to all people at all times. Now this is a great pity because his research and argument are strong and appealing. The appeal for me is not just liberation from those who cannot see irony in Minsky's mischievous "meat machine"; it is also his proposal of a neurological plasticity which would accommodate the very different people with very different ideas and ways of living that we find historically and anthropologically, also poetically and artistically etc. But he doesn't go there. My notion is that his idea of science won't let him. So this leads me to ask, where do we go -- when we bother to worry aboutwhere we are going? Comments?

The situation, though, is more complicated. What is happening, more likely, is that the mathematics that underlies the software (which creates technology) is surfacing within the humanities. It has always been there, but digital humanities creates a reawakening, or enhanced emphasis, on mathematical thought. Technology is an artificial catalyst for a revision of mathematical epistemology and ontology. This hypothesis of mathematics emerging within the humanities, I am sure, is highly debatable, but I see all the evidence pointing in this direction. Discussions revolving around technique, technology, and tool masks what is actually happening: which is that, for example, when you create a network for visualize a digital humanities research topic, you are learning and using graph theory. The technology/tool is just a trojan horse: https://medium.com/creative-automata/how-a-remote-control-rewired-your-brain-5d507a831998 -paul > On Jan 12, 2018, at 11:36 PM, Humanist Discussion Group > wrote:> > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 523. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Sat, 13 Jan 2018 05:26:25 +0000 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: solid ground? > > > A question that has come in and out of focus for me over the years, and > which has recently come back in due to explorations in cognitive > science, is this: where do we go, in what direction, to reach solid > epistemological/ontological ground, in research with computing for > the humanities?

You say: > The appeal for me is not just liberation from those who cannot see irony in > Minsky's mischievous "meat machine"; it is also his proposal of a > neurological plasticity which would accommodate the very different people > with very different ideas and ways of living that we find historically and > anthropologically, also poetically and artistically etc. But he doesn't go > there. My general understanding of neural plasticity, which I’ve been reading about for 2 or 3 decades, is that it would support "the very different people with very different ideas and ways of living that we find historically and anthropologically, also poetically and artistically etc.” Does Anderson explicitly deny that? Or is it that he fails explicitly to affirm that? If the former, then of course, if you want to use his work you need to supply an argument as to why he’s wrong on that point. But if the latter, then you should be able to cite him in an argument you might make on the point. In any event, the book was taken up in Brain and Behavior Science in 2016.

Yes. FWIW, my teacher, David Hays was one of the founders of computational linguistics (he coined the term). But he wasn’t a programmer. He was a first generation researcher in machine translation, leading the RAND Corporation’s effort in the 1950s and 60s and later wrote the first textbook in computational linguistics.* How could he do those things without programming? Simple, he could think about language in computational terms. (Others did the programming, Martin Kay among them. He was an Englishman trained by Margaret Masterman.) *Introduction to Computational Linguistics, American Elsevier, New York, 1967 [snip] > This hypothesis of mathematics emerging within the humanities, I am sure, is > highly debatable, but I see all the evidence pointing in this direction. > Discussions revolving around technique, technology, and tool masks what is > actually happening: which is that, for example, when you create a network > for visualize a digital humanities research topic, you are learning and > using graph theory.

That article introduces the concept of a state machine. I use something like that in my account of “This Lime-Tree Bower My Prison” in https://www.academia.edu/8345952/Talking_with_Nature_in_This_Lime-Tree_Bower_My_Prison_ Late in the article there’s a section entitled “States of Poetry Machine”. Prior to that I had argued the poem draws on the mother-infant attachment dynamic explored in developmental psychology by John Bowlby, Mary Ainsworth, and others. This dynamic has two roles, that of caretaker and that of child. Coleridge’s poem has three primary actors: 1) the poet, Coleridge, 2) Charles Lamb and other friends, and 3) Nature. The poem gets its dynamic through distributing the three actors over the two roles in the attachment dynamic. I draw up a table show how the role assignment changes from one section of the poem to another. The first half of the poem ends with the poet and Lamb alike in the child role and Nature in the caretaker role. It ends with Lamb in the child role and the poet in the caretaker role.

It seems there is an analogy at play worth exploring: Moving on foot seems to make it easier to move in time, the mind wanders from plans to recollections to observations. The rhythm of walking generates a kind of rhythm of thinking, and the passage through a landscape echoes or stimulates the passage through a series of thoughts. This creates an odd consonance between internal and external passage, one that suggests that the mind is also a landscape of sorts and that walking is one way to traverse it.

In July of 2016 the ADHO Steering Committee approved a new governance framework and a new financial model. An Implementation Committee (IC) has started to work on a more detailed plan that will help to smooth the way for the official change to the new structure effective July 1, 2018. See: http://change.adho.org http://change.adho.org/ The IC has posted a Roadmap of how it is proceeding at: http://change.adho.org/implementation-committee-roadmap/ http://change.adho.org/implementation-committee-roadmap/ We welcome feedback on the proposal and roadmap.

The conference will be held in June 18-20, 2018 on the English Park Campus of Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. HistoCrypt addresses all aspects of historical cryptography/cryptanalysis including work in closely related disciplines (such as history, history of ideas, computer science, AI, or (computational) linguistics or image processing) that is sufficiently formalized or applied, with relevance to historical ciphertexts and codes. We welcome everybody interested in the field of historical cryptology (classical cryptography and cryptanalysis) to participate in the event. We invite submissions to HistoCrypt, either short or long paper, for presentation at the conference, which will be evaluated by a program committee. The conference's subjects include, but are not limited to: + the use of cryptography in military, diplomacy, business, and other areas + analysis of historical ciphers with the help of modern computerized methods + unsolved historical cryptograms + the Enigma and other encryption machines + the history of modern (computer-based) cryptography + special linguistic aspects of cryptology + the influence of cryptography on the course of history + teaching and promoting cryptology in schools, universities, and the public Considering the location of the upcoming HistoCrypt 2018 at Uppsala University, special attention is encouraged to the heritage of Prof. Arne Beurling and his role in breaking the German teletype ciphers. Participation in the conference is mandatory for at least one author of each accepted paper. CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS As part of the conference, we are happy to announce five invited keynote speakers: + Craig Bauer, Professor of mathematics at York College of Pennsylvania, editor in chief of the journal Cryptologia + Katherine Ellison, Professor of English Literature, associate chair, Dept. of English, Illinois State University + David Naccache, Professor at the École normale supérieure, Paris, France + Shlomo Shpiro, Professor of Security and Intelligence, Bar-Ilan University, Israel + Kjell-Ove Widman, professor emeritus of Mathematics, special topic on Arne Beurling and his work WORKSHOP In connection to the conference a workshop on codes will be held: "Solving codes rather than ciphers. Is there a software challenge?". For more information, please visit 'http://histocrypt.org/ws.phtml'. BACKGROUND HistoCrypt 2018 represents a continuation of the highly successful European Historical Ciphers Colloquiums (EuroHCC) held in Heusenstamm (2012), Kassel (2016), and Smolenice (2017). Considering EuroHCC’s growing popularity among the crypto historians and cryptographers and the established HICRYPT network on historical cryptology with over 50 members from 20 countries around the world, our aim is to establish HistoCrypt as an annual, international event. The first event in the series takes place in 2018 at Uppsala University, Sweden. SUBMISSIONS We invite paper submissions in three distinct tracks: + regular papers up to 10 pages (including references) on substantial, original, and unpublished research, including evaluation results, where appropriate; + short papers up to 4 pages (including references) on smaller, focused contributions, work in progress, negative results, surveys, tutorials, or opinion pieces; + short papers up to 4 pages (including references) on system demonstrations (demo). Presentations of accepted papers are either oral, poster, or demo, which will be decided by the program committee. Papers accepted for presentation at the conference will be included in the HistoCrypt 2018 proceedings, which is published as part of the Northern European Association for Language Technology (NEALT) Proceedings Series (http://omilia.uio.no/nealt/?task=publications) by Linköping University Electronic Press (ECP: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp/index.en.asp), as freely available Gold Open Access. Publications in the Linköping Electronic Conference Proceedings are ranked on the Norwegian register for scientific journals, series and publishers as Level 1 publications.

And it brings in the additional analogy of terrain, among others. The work of one scholar whom I admire very much suggests by analogy walking a terrain, perhaps alpine, that offers small details one is compelled to examine, then breath-taking vistas, as if from the top of a hill. (The scholar in question is Walter Burkert; see his Homo Necans for an example.) The rhythm of minute detail, then vast sweeps of landscape, in turn suggests walking the machine to locate that detail, then by means of it to see one's data at a distance, statistically. All this leads, I think, to the point that close and distant readings are complementary, whether with a machine or otherwise. It leads to a moral: that fashions, in digital humanities as elsewhere, are just that. A favourite example of mine of that complementary rhythm is to be found in the work in computational stylistics by those who know and love intimately the writings they work with: here one finds the rhythm of walking the alpine landscape, through a meadow up to a hilltop, then another meadow, then a hilltop &c. And since we walk with machines, Michael L. Anderson's point, in his admirable and necessary book on cognitive neuroscience, After Phrenology: Neural Reuse and the Interactive Brain (2014), comes to mind: > when we invent scales, rulers, clocks, and other measuring devices, > along with the specific practices necessary for using them, we are > not merely doing better with tools what we were doing all along in > perception. Rather, we are constructing new properties to perceive in > the world ... properties that actually require these tools to > perceive them accurately. One way of characterizing the nature of the > mistake that I am claiming was made in the traditional cognitive > sciences, then, is that they illegitimately supposed that the > properties of the world that these technologies and techniques > uncovered are the very ones to which we were imperfectly sensitive > prior to their invention. But this does not appear to be so. (pp. 181-2) Comments?

Here it is for reference: https://www.academia.edu/8345952/Talking_with_Nature_in_This_Lime-Tree_Bower_My_Prison_ To someone inclined toward the mathematical or, in this case, computational linguistics, this text makes sense and is comfortable. It is comfortable because I am used to diagrams, formalisms, and structures such as the one provided in the text. So, count me on board. What is less clear to me is what Willard is trying to get at — which is: what is the nature of digital humanities. and will digital humanists or non-digital humanists find formalization useful or interesting? I don’t have a good sense of this. It would be great to hear from others. We may need to admit though that in this forum, we may be addressing the choir with a more traditional scholar not in attendance. We can teach humanities students specific skills and knowledge (for example, how to define a graph in general, or how to define a semantic network, in specific), but it isn’t clear as to what others (outside of the classroom) think. This is a challenge I face daily: teaching what amounts to mathematical structure in arts and humanities contexts. It may be that today’s scholars may differ depending on years of experience. Those humanists that have recently graduated, and therefore, are more used to technical terms, might gravitate better toward analyses of the mathematical variety? -paul --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 14:25:06 -0500 From: "Dr. Herbert Wender" Subject: Re: 31.530 walking In-Reply-To: <20180116060708.3580D8913@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Francois, I would recommend a walk through HyperNietzsche with "The Wanderer and his Shadow" (1879), virtually a real 'Wanderlust'.

While this leads to several further and interesting questions (does digital humanities have a nature? what is formalization, exactly?) I was after something else. This is what I wrote: > A question that has come in and out of focus for me over the years, and > which has recently come back in due to explorations in cognitive > science, is this: where do we go, in what direction, to reach solid > epistemological/ontological ground, in research with computing for > the humanities? What sort of ground is it? Long ago, when I was writing my dissertation, a wonderfully friendly and supportive professor in my department would, from time to time, kindly say that I was "standing on solid granite". What he meant was that he thought I was right, that my argument accorded with scholarly consensus, that we agreed. He was saying, "Let's take this body of informed opinion as given." Fast-forward 35 years, add a computer to the mix and, I'd think, we'd no longer, or seldom, talk about granite or solid ground; we'd talk about modelling, and about simulating. Otto Neurath famously wrote about the activity of the sciences as a constant struggle to rebuild a boat at sea. Thanks to G.E.R. Lloyd, I am inclined to ask, what boat? And I would ask further, how are we doing with our swimming? Comments?

DH Benelux is an initiative that aims to further the collaboration between Digital Humanities activities in Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The conference serves as a platform for the community of interdisciplinary DH researchers to meet, present and discuss their latest research findings and to demonstrate tools and projects. This year's theme is Integrating Digital Humanities. This implies that we encourage you to reflect in your submission, in a critical and self-reflexive way, on how the digital turn affects knowledge production and dissemination in the humanities and heritage sector. Keynote speakers Jane Winters Professor of Digital Humanities School of Advanced Study and Senate House Library University of London Mike Kestemont & Folgert Karsdorp University of Antwerp & Meertens Institute Participation The call is open to all colleagues working in the humanities or heritage sector with an interest and enthusiasm in the application and use of digital technologies. Submissions are welcome from researchers at all career stages. We particularly encourage early stage researchers (MA/PhD students and postdoctoral researchers) to submit abstracts. We welcome humanities scholars, developers, computer and information scientists as well as librarians, archivists and museum curators. The conference has a focus on recent advances concerning research activities in the Benelux as well as data or research projects related to Belgium, The Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Language The preferred language of the conference is English. Proposals, presentations and posters in any language in the Benelux will be accepted; note, however, that this will likely limit the impact of your message. Key dates Deadline for submitting abstracts: 15 February 2018 (23:59 CET) Notification of acceptance: Monday 9 April 2018 Call details We invite submissions of abstracts on any aspect of digital humanities: practical experimentation, theorising, cross- and multidisciplinary work, new and relevant developments. Given this year's theme we especially welcome submissions that focus, in a critical and self-reflexive way, on how the digital turn affects knowledge production and dissemination in the humanities and heritage sector. Relevant subjects can be any of—but are not limited to—the following: • Critical study and digital hermeneutical approaches in the humanities • Humanities research enabled by digital approaches: digital arts, architecture, music, film, theatre, new media, digital games and cyberculture; • Digital media, digitisation, curation of digital objects; • Geo-humanities, spatial analysis and applications of GIS for Humanities research • Computational tools: text mining and data mining; design and application of algorithms for analysis and visualisation methods; • Applications of Linked Open Data; stylometry, topic modeling, sentiment mining • Social and economic aspects of digitality and digital humanities • Pedagogy, teaching, and dissemination of digital humanities; • Data: Big Data, data modeling, data criticism Software studies, information design and tool criticism. • Digital scholarly editing and ePublications • Virtual Research Environments / Research Infrastructures For the 2018 conference we welcome submissions in the following format: For DH Benelux 2018 we welcome five types of proposals: • long papers; • short project introductions; • round tables; • posters and; • application / tool demonstrations. Abstracts should clearly state the title and name and affiliation of the authors and the presenters, if you have one please include your twitter username too. Also indicate for which category (or categories) of presentation you are submitting your proposal. The word length is dependent on the proposal you submit, see details below. References and/or bibliography are recommended but are not obligatory, and are excluded from the word count. Proposals may contain graphics and illustrations. Long papers (abstracts of 1000 words, paper presentation 20 mins + 10 mins for discussion) are suitable for presenting empirical work, theorising, cross- and multidisciplinary work, research methods and concise theoretical arguments. The research presented in a long paper should be completed or in the final stages of development. Short papers (abstracts of 500 words, paper presentation 10 mins + 5 mins for discussion) are well suited reporting on early stage and ongoing research, as well as new project presentations, technical details and the results of practical experimentation and proof of concepts. Round tables (abstracts of 1000 words) which bring together a group of practitioners/ researchers (ideally both) to discuss particular methodological and/or epistemological challenges. Posters (abstracts of 500 words) are particularly suited for detailed technical explanations and clarifications, and for the show and tell of projects and research alike. Demonstrations (abstracts of 500 words) of prototypes, finished software, hardware technology, tools, datasets, digital publications and so forth. The abstracts will be peer-reviewed by the DH Benelux 2018 Programme Committee and published on the DH Benelux 2018 website. We intend to publish conference proceedings following DH Benelux 2018, a call will be made after the conference. If you are interested in getting your paper published please indicate so; a paper version should then be uploaded to by 1 August.

The Multimedia Philosophy Lecture By Charles S. Taylor EJournal Volume 8 Number 1 (APRIL 1998) Available at: http://www.ucalgary.ca/ejournal/archive/v8/hfc.html
 The first paragraph of which reads: > The title for this essay comes from the distinction between two kinds of paths. One of these, called a Feldweg, is as its name says "a path to the field." Since the traditional field for teaching is the classroom, Feldweg in this context means those obvious ways of using the classroom. Martin Heidegger found another kind of path, a Holzweg, far more thought-worthy. Holzweg is used most commonly today not to refer to any physical path but rather to the metaphoric "being lost on a Holzweg" which is something like "being on a wild goose chase." The word does however have literal connotations. A Holzweg is a path in the woods made by foresters. It may refer to the space cleared to allow a large tree to fall unrestrictedly to the ground: it may also be the path created as the cutting of trees progresses ever more deeply into the woods. In both of these forms, a Holzweg is a "path that leads nowhere." Most important, however for our purposes here, is the fact that in the beginning the experience of following a Holzweg does not entail thinking one is lost at all. Heidegger believed that we can learn much about our work in the field not only by studying the path to it but also by finding oneself in the unexpected places one eventually encounters on a Holzweg. Ending up in one of these places is like finding oneself in the middle of the woods and having several paths to choose from but not knowing whether any will actually lead to a familiar place. This essay is an exploration of some intertwined Holzwege and Feldwege which can be followed in teaching with technology. Simon --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 18:30:58 -0500 From: "William L. Benzon" Subject: Re: 31.536 walking the machine; solid ground In-Reply-To: <20180118080055.851D48B1E@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> But what does “according with scholarly consensus” have to do with whether or not a given body of work involves modeling and simulation? Though I don’t actually know this, I rather suspect that you are one of many educated people who believe the heliocentric account of the solar system: Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, the asteroids, etc. all revolve around the sun, which is a star, and the Moon revolves around the Earth, and so forth. But no one has ever seen that. It’s not something we know from direct observation the way we know that, say, cats have four legs and a tail. It something that a body of thinkers arrived at over countless observations coupled with mathematical and physical reasoning over centuries. It didn’t all happen and once and it’s still changing. And you know what? The heliocentric account is a model, a consensus model of the solar system. And it’s been tweaked in the last few decades through, guess what? computer simulation – the horror! the horror! All these bodies interact with one another in subtle ways that can only be studied through numerical simulation. It seems that the solar system is chaotic, in the technical sense of the word in mathematics. You can read about this in the Wikipedia article on Stability of the Solar System: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stability_of_the_Solar_System But there’s another kind of “solidity”. Consider biology and Darwin’s theory of evolution. What’s that based on? It’s based on thousands upon thousands of descriptions of the morphology and lifeways of plants and animals that had been amassed over the previous three or four centuries. Mere observation, mere description. Necessary ground, solid ground. That interests me because I’m interested in literary form. “Form” and “formalism” are central concepts in literary criticism. But there is no critical consensus on what form is. Which is not surprising, because there’s no critical consensus on what the text is either. If we don’t know what the text is then we can’t possibly know how to describe its form, can we? Nonetheless the discipline has made the interpretation of these nebulous objects its focus. The discipline isn’t even sure that there’s a meaningful distinction between description and interpretation (ask Stanley Fish about that). So, no solid ground here. Just swampland.

With this initiative we promote cross-disciplinary collaborations in the realm of digital humanities research through an unshared task. The aim of this survey is to gauge the interest in and possible format of an unshared task to take place at DHBenelux 2018. — — — Why benchmarking? Shared vs Unshared tasks definition: Overall, the shared tasks have a long history in computational disciplines, such as natural language processing where a shared annotated dataset is made available to the research community to test and compare their systems on. In an unshared task, no quantitative performance measures or clearly defined problems to be solved are present, rather the goal is to provide the community with a creative playground to test and exchange ideas. We think the latter task format may suit the very heterogeneous digital humanities community well and can invite input from historians, linguistics, ethnologists, GIS specialists, literature scientists and others to present their perspective and analyses on the same case. — — — This is an initiative of CLARIN, DARIAH and the DHBenelux 2018 organisers.

Ess" Subject: Re: [Humanist] 31.541 to gain the trust of humans? In-Reply-To: <20180119070333.83F868B30@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard and colleagues, I'm really not sure if humanoid robots - whether designed for trust or other primary purposes, such as KASPAR for work with autistic children - fit neatly within DH, so this makes for an interesting test case. In my own work / experience with machine ethics, including specific issues in AI, robots, and (ahem - many caveats here) sexbots, prominent topics for exploration include: contrasts between human autonomy / agency and "artificial agency," a term recognizing the limits / differences between human and machine - differences that in turn are obviously critical to discussions of ethics and matters of ethical (and legal) responsibility as attributable to machines and/or distributable across machine-human networks of communication and interaction ("distributed morality"); the role of embodiment - as imitated in robots - in communication (not only trust building) as well (even more importantly) as in ethical judgments: that is, especially a focus on phronesis as a specific form of reflective judgment central to virtue ethics highlights (a) how much of human ethical reflection and decision-making depends upon "information" (this may be too barren a term) encoded in the body ("trust your gut," "listen to your heart," etc.) - and thereby (b) how both difficult / impossible it is to make such information fully articulate for more deterministic / algorithmic approaches to ethical decision-making (contra the usual discussions of primarily utilitarian approaches to programming the (pseudo-)ethics of driverless vehicles, for example). the roles of emotions - most especially in the sorts of long-term / deep human relationships foregrounded by virtue ethics as central to our conceptions of good lives and flourishing - vis-a-vis the current recognition that the best we can do (and exceedingly well in many cases) with machines is to program and teach "artificial emotions". These machinic facilities and responses, as Turkle and many others have long demonstrated, are more than sufficient to evoke often strong emotional responses from us in turn: and this sort of fakery can often be beneficent, e.g., work with robots such as Paro (imitating a baby harp seal) in eldercare, etc. At the same time, however, with a few well-grounded exceptions (as in Kant's later, more practical ethics as well as with our common acceptance of "white lies," etc.) we generally regard such fakery and deception as not conducive to our most central human relationships. One upshot of this are arguments that, e.g., sexbots may be able to offer us "good sex," (especially for Benthamite utilitarians who endorse physical pleasure as prima facie good) - but not what the phenomenologist Sara Ruddick has characterized as "complete sex," i.e., sexual interactions that engage whole persons in relationships of mutual respect as implicating genuine autonomy and genuine emotions of desire and love. Is this Digital Humanities? Conceptually, I don't see why not. Pragmatically, i.e., from the perspectives of my conference-going and collaboration with philosophers, media and communication folk, roboticists and related practitioners of AI, computation, and design - I think very few of them would self-describe as a digital humanist. I don't either, for that matter. Briefly, however wildly and delightfully interdisciplinary DH seeks to be - I don't see it encompassing (so far, at least) these aspects of philosophical ethics vis-a-vis robot, AI, and computational design. But perhaps this rests upon some misunderstandings, misconceptions, etc. I would be grateful for comments and corrections. (There is also a long conversation here, one that Willard and I have had off and on for decades, over the relative presence and role for philosophy in DH. There is some, to be sure - and my impression is that for the most part, if philosophers are not more present in DH, it's not because of hostility from the side of DH, but usually far more because of, um, reticence on the part of many / most academic philosophers. Sometimes for perhaps good reasons. Sometimes, not so much.) In any event: if anyone is interested in pursuing these matters further - consider coming to Vienna next month for the robo-philosophy 2018 conference: http://conferences.au.dk/robo-philosophy/ Many thanks in advance for any comments and suggestions! - charles ess On 19/01/18 08:03, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 541. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2018 13:28:39 -0500 > From: Henry Schaffer > Subject: Is this part of the digital humanities field? > > > Lifelike Robots Designed to Gain Trust of Humans > > https://www.ien.com/product-development/news/20988495/robot-strippers-a-window-into-the-future > > While it's not much like the bulk of messages on this list, it deals with > how humans perceive and interact with this very digital being/artifact.

N’est-ce pas un domaine qui ressemble encore beaucoup à une terra incognita ? Guidés par de nouvelles découvertes, de nouveaux outils et de nouvelles questions, les chercheurs et les chercheuses qui le parcourent sont réuni.e.s par un esprit d’innovation et une volonté d’apprendre. Le colloque System/Système D : l’art de l’improvisation et les recherches sur le numérique a pour objectif d’établir un forum d’échange destiné aux étudiantes et aux étudiants de deuxième et de troisième cycles, ceux et celles qui façonneront bientôt l’avenir des recherches sur le numérique dans le contexte universitaire, artistique, culturel et dans différents secteurs de l’industrie. Le colloque souhaite mettre en valeur les activités des jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs du numérique, en adoptant une perspective interdisciplinaire et transversale. Parmi les thématiques abordées, on explorera les questions suivantes : Que veut dire improviser dans le domaine de la recherche sur le numérique ? Quels défis rencontre-t-on et comment les surmonter ? Que peut-on apprendre des approches interdisciplinaires et comment ouvrir le domaine à une pluralité de voix ? Nous souhaitons que ce colloque promeuve de nouvelles possibilités de collaboration et d’engagement pour les jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses dont le travail entame un dialogue avec le domaine du numérique. Nous invitons les présentations de formats variés : communications, démonstrations (réalisations audio-visuelles, logiciels, etc.), expositions et visualisations, affiches et performances qui relèvent de toute recherche engageant les nouvelles technologies, les outils computationnels et les méthodes dont entre autres : modélisation 3D intelligence artificielle Code Art développement de bases de données data art souveraineté des données archives numériques dispositifs électroniques prêt-à-porter autoportrait numérique narration numérique glitch art Web des données culture maker informatique minimaliste apprentissage automatique données ouvertes robotique analyse des réseaux sociaux développement de logiciel analyse statistique jeux vidéo cartographie et système d’information géographique Nous encourageons aussi une réflexion fondée sur les paradigmes critiques dont voici, à titre indicatif, quelques exemples : études critiques du handicap archéologie des médias théorie critique de la race néo-matérialisme théories postcoloniales post-humanisme théories féministes théorie queer intersectionnalité travail numérique études des sciences et des technologies Modalités de soumission Nous encourageons la soumission de présentations éclairs, affiches, performances, projections de films, expositions, démonstrations et critical karaoke.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2018 08:47:23 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: expanding eyes Henry Shaffer has asked whether robotics is within our scope; Charles Ess in response to that question has cited those in philosophical robotics who would not self-identify with digital humanities and includes himself. Being from an academic department of digital humanities I don't have the choice, but I exercise the privilege of age to be eccentric and so do research that, I suspect, few would consider an easy fit within digital humanities as is. I think there's an interesting problem here. One of my teachers, Northrop Frye, wrote in On Education (1988) that, > It takes a good deal of maturity to see that every field of knowledge > is the centre of all knowledge, and that it doesn't matter so much > what you learn when you learn it in a structure that can expand into > other structures. I wonder now whether one major problem that interferes with our thinking is a cognitive structure unequal to the task, inflexible, lacking the energy to expand wherever curiosity leads. Of course there are the problems of time and competence, with the associated problems of getting and keeping a suitable job, but to self-limit seems to me to be a self-inflicted injury. A few years back I was invited to speak at an international robotics conference by two mind-expanded roboticists. The experience caused me to wonder whether, perhaps, the problem is more on our side of the house than theirs? At that conference a very senior roboticist, in her plenary award lecture, admonished the young whippersnapper whizzkids in the audience to raise their eyes from the laboratory bench. Good advice for us too, don't you think?

Stefano Gulizia __________________________________________ The Wisdom of Automata: Performative Science and Early Modern Diplomacy Guest editor: Stefano Gulizia Automata – often made up by puzzling parts, like wood inlays, brass, or metal – are charged with different tasks, such as defense, entertainment, or time-keeping. Not only do automata move mechanically (Hero of Alexandria 1589), they also allow a 'methodizing' of spatial displacement through artificial life (Truitt 2016). Building on this premise, namely that despite their internal diversification over time, the metis of self-propelled devices converges on political brokerage and cross-cultural exchange, the proposed Special Issue brings to a new light early modern entanglements of travel and experimental science aiming to produce a dialogue across disciplines where monologue currently prevails, especially but not exclusively between the burgeoning literature on Mediterranean gift-giving and portable archaeologies (Behrens-Abouseif 2014; Necipoglu 2014; Iafrate 2015) and the tradition of research pivoted around the mechanization of nature (e.g. Roux and Garber 2012). It is generally accepted that, as with the history of acoustics and sound (Smith 1999; Sterne 2003), boundaries between object and subject are blurred in the deep history of automata. Often this very fuzziness turns into a performance of cultural heritage, historically situated or perspectival as it might be (Bynum 1997). However, while in their hybridity automata should have helped shedding new light on fundamental uses of material culture, most scholarship up to date has suffered from a divide between attending to artisanal and technical manufacture on the one hand, and considering the social protocols attending to its display on the other. Likewise, despite a long history that punctuates a sense of reciprocal unfolding between longue durée perspectives and localized contexts, the prevailing trend has been towards microhistory. As a result, with notable exceptions investigating the theoretical implications of skill when it becomes wondrous (Young 2017) and the irrepressible theatricality of the automaton (Tkaczyk 2011), more work remains to be done to conveniently tie up mechanical instrumentality with social legitimation, making the most of seminal inquiries into ambassadorial training (Beihammer et al. 2002; Zwierlein 2017) and into courtly culture as a discipline of automatic artificiality (Wolfe 2004). Even in the case of well-known episodes in which automata feature prominently, such as the Sultan's 1582 circumcision festival, we still lack a broader exploration of how the individual pieces responded not only, say, to German techniques of construction, as in the case of moving clocks, but also to European reconstructions of Turkish like, through the turcica, and to the underlying Ottoman guild-system as well. In addition to advocating a more fruitful merging of micro-historical and macro-historical approaches, this Special Issue aims at a comprehensive re-balancing between production and circulation, and therefore at reinstating automatic life as a leading early modern discipline of information management (Brendecke 2012), carefully distinguishing within it different epistemic levels and their Braudelian, external constraints, like rivalry, commerce, postal service. A first consequence of this fresh realignment is that artificial life gravitates towards a larger mechanics of mobility (Rothman 2014; Nelles 2015) and the 'archival turn' (Friedrich 2013). The main claim of this collection is that what ultimately is embodied in automata and their peculiar time-keeping (with Voskuhl 2013, but contra Riskin 2016) is not a simulation of live bodies, but a replication of habitus — that is, a tissue of geopolitical ambitions and bodily practices. It also suggests that it is precisely by indexing mechanical wonders alongside, not beyond, early modern routines of workmanship that one could reassess the epistemological asymmetries affecting instrumentality (Shapin and Schaffer 1989), arriving at a form of historicization that is firmly and usefully rooted in a re-enchantment of technology (Gell 1999). Papers should not exceed 8,000 words. They should be prepared for a double blind-review and should be submitted electronically to sgulizia@gmail.com by March 1st, 2019. Scheduled publication is anticipated for November 2019. *References* Behrens-Abouseif, Doris. 2014.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 22 Jan 2018 13:31:55 +0100 From: Manfred Thaller Subject: Re: 31.523 solid ground? In-Reply-To: <20180113053632.E0D468A7A@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, A very delayed answer to your thread. I'd like to comment to what for me constituted the core of your first mail "where do we go, in what direction, to reach solid epistemological / ontological ground, in research with computing for the humanities". I write "core", as I think that is a question which is important generally, and not only in the context of cognitive science. My first comment is, that the question in itself is the first step towards an answer: Only if we agree, that epistemological ground is needed we can reach it. As I agree to that proposition, my personal next requirement is, that any ontological ground requires us to agree on an accepted model of argumentation. I of course agree, that no "objective truth" can be reached within the Humanities, as no Humanities scholar can perceive any phenomenon in the current or past societal context, without being part of the context her- or himself. Confirming that, I have to continue, however, with saying, that that is not even remotely as important as some people make it. Getting enthusiastic or concerned about Heisenberg, does not remove the fact, that the Newtonian level of physics is not invalidated by his observations. And, personally, the knowledge that I'll never pass the speed of light has never prevented me to take the faster of two trains available. So, while I completely agree, that "objective truth" is unattainable (with the corollary, that therefore it is also pointless to ask for a degree of objectivity), I consider it extremely important to maximize the possibilities for inter-subjectivity in Humanities discourse. Computational methods can help with that on may levels: The possibility to discuss the interpretation of a text based on that text being accessible to both participants of a discussion via some digital library improves the level of inter-subjectivity beyond a situation, where the same participants ground their opinions on vague memories of similar documents encountered some time ago at one archive or the other. The space between that support of inter-subjectivity by computer technologies and the possibility to apply formal methods is wide and has a tricky topology, but a continuum it is in my opinion. Having a tricky topology, in my opinion, again, implies, that to navigate it more will eventually be required than enthusiasm how cute a specific word cloud looks. What triggered this mail, may have been the closing remark of Bill Benzon's last comment, by the way: "The discipline isn't even sure that there's a meaningful distinction between description and interpretation (ask Stanley Fish about that)." Well -- it is probably wise to focus on your own discipline, or even your own school, rather than "the Humanities", when you comment upon epistemology. My own background is in history; and at least those schools of historical research I adhere to do indeed agree, that there is an unshakable law, which says that the difference between representing and interpreting a source is fundamental. (A petitio principii, with all that implies, for me.) From (my understanding of) historical research's point of view, I've recently tried to describe a path towards computational solutions more appropriate towards what I perceive to be the ontological requirements of historical research than the solutions currently available. An abbreviated version follows. A much longer, commented one, which also describes implications for information technology, can be found at https://www.academia.edu/attachments/54674498/download_file?s=work_strip There on pages 77-93. Kind regards, Manfred 1) History is the study of all phenomena which require the analysis of information created by human endeavor where the creators of that information cannot -- or shall not -- be asked about the meaning of the information left behind. 2) Research is defined by a system of rules for the communication of disagreements about interpretations of information; out of their application an increase in the body of intersubjectively agreed upon interpretations arises. Research is defined by a consensus about acceptable models of argumentation, not about the knowledge domain to which these models are applied. 3) Historical sources should not be interpreted as signs for an unequivocal message. They are tokens which have to be interpreted by a historian. Such interpretations have to be documented as precisely as possible, as a concrete disagreement about the interpretation of a specific token indicates a focus for the necessary clarification of intersubjective understanding. 4) Information taken from historical sources can be represented as a specific configuration of tokens with a specific geometry. 5) Any subset of the tokens within such a configuration can be connected to arbitrarily many interpretations. 6) Interpretations themselves are represented in information systems according to the same model. The overall model is recursive. 7) Any two subsets of tokens within the same type of configuration can be compared according to one or more inherent metrics. 8) Any two interpretations on the same interpretative dimension can be compared according to one or more inherent metrics. 9) All existing interpretative dimensions of two sets of tokens form a context, which has to be considered, when comparing the two sets of tokens. 10) An information system fit for the handling of historical sources should exist as a set of permanently running processes, which try to remove contradictions between tokens. Such tokens are used to represent data. They do not directly map into information. Information is represented by a snapshot of the state of a specific subset of the concurrently running processes. 11) The data in the totality of historical sources, or any subset thereof, forms a mutual context for the interpretation of any set of specific items contained therein. It can be envisaged as a set of n-dimensional configurations of tokens representing physically existing sources, each of which exists in an m-dimensional universe of interpretative assumptions. Information arises out of these data by permanently running processes, which try to minimize contradictions and inconsistencies between subsets of the data. 12) This model is both, a conceptual one for the hermeneutic "understanding" of historical interpretation, as well as a technical one for future information systems supporting historical analysis. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 0B1258B79; Tue, 23 Jan 2018 07:42:44 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 7FA3C8B73; Tue, 23 Jan 2018 07:42:41 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 13C798B74; Tue, 23 Jan 2018 07:42:37 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180123064238.13C798B74@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 07:42:37 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.550 course in scholarly editing (London) X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180123064242.5399.29749@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 550.

Historical and Philosophical perspectives It is my pleasure to announce the start of the ANR project "What is a (computer) program?" (http://programme.hypotheses.org) with a two days event to be held on February 7-8 at MESH, rooms 1 and 2, Espace Baïetto, 2 Rue des Canonniers, 59000 Lille. On February 7, we will have a session of the Lille-Paris séminaire "History and Philosophy of Computer Science and Computing (HEPIC)" with participation of Cliff Jones and Samuel Goyet (see http://calcul.hypotheses.org for more details). On February 8 we will have the workshop "Models between structures and meanings of programs" which introduces the project followed by several talks from members of the project. In order to register (February 7 and/or 8), please send a mail with your affiliation to: liesbeth.demol@univ-lille3.fr. Registration is free but required in order to attend. /Abstract for the workshop/ What is a (computer) program? This is a deceivingly simple question which today has many different answers that affect quite basic societal issues such as problems of responsability and accountability. The main assumption of the project PROGRAMme is that in order to give a proper analysis of the notion of program, one needs to give an account and take into account the following three structuring and historically-developed modalities of "program": (1) physical: program as stored and executed on a machine (2) formal: program as (formal) text (3) socio-technical: program as used and made by people The ambition then is to offer a historico-philosophical analysis of "program", structured along these three modalities. One basic methodological approach is to focus on "models" and their abstractions, where "models" are understood in their most generic sense and can refer to both concrete machine models (and how these shape, for instance, program code) as well as to more abstract models like lambda-calculus. The aim of this workshop is then to introduce the project as well as to offer a set of more in-depth studies focusing on the issue of how models are reciprocally developed and shaped by both the structures and meanings of programs where both structure and meaning can relate to each of the three program modalities. As such, this workshop will deepen the discussions initiated at the roundtable "What is a (computer) program?" (https://programme.hypotheses.org/prelaunch_en) as well as develop some basic themes to be included in future research collaborations. /Programme:/ 09.00-11.00: Introduction of the project and its members 11.00-11.30: BREAK 11.30-12.15: Mark Priestley, "Program structure and its graphical representation c. 1946" 12.15-13.00: Giuseppe Primiero, "Identity criteria for programs" 13.00-14.30: LUNCH 14.00-14.45: Edgar Daylight, "Towards a History of Model-Modellee Conflations in Computer Science" 14.45-15.30: Pierre Mounier-Kuhn, "Les notions de 'programmes" dans la machine de Couffignal"/The notion of `programs' in the Couffignal machine" 15.30-16.00: BREAK 16.00-16.45: Ray Turner, "The Ways of Computational Abstraction" 16.45-17.30: Maël Pégny, "Are machine learning algorithms programs?" 17.30-18.15: Tomas Petricek, "The Inner Life of Programming Concepts" The workshop and séminaire are supported by the platform DATA of MESHS and the the ANR project PROGRAMme. with best wishes, Liesbeth De Mol _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id D80578B71; Tue, 23 Jan 2018 09:50:23 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8D3698B6C; Tue, 23 Jan 2018 09:50:21 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A6BDD8B6A; Tue, 23 Jan 2018 09:50:11 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180123085011.A6BDD8B6A@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2018 09:50:11 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.552 ACH national conference: call for program committee 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: <20180123085023.15305.47720@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 552.

This can be exemplified by the impact that film and television had on medicine, health policy and education, from early medical films that made new images of illness and therapy accessible to health experts, to the “Kulturfilme” of the 1920s that propagated a modern conception of the body to cinema- goers, to educational films produced by the state for use in schools, to ads informing people about AIDS prevention and health talk shows on TV. Visual mass media are constantly reflecting and shaping our conceptions and perceptions of the body and health, as well as the bodily and health practices we engage in. For their part, they are often influenced by economics. Seen in this way, a history of the body, embodiment and emotions in the twentieth century is also a history of the mass media. The spring school Visual History in the Twentieth Century: Bodies, Practices, and Emotions invites participants to engage in five days of intensive discussion on the relation between the history of the body, body politics, and film and television in the twentieth century. The spring school will take a transnational perspective and focus particular on developments in Germany, France and Great Britain. The spring school is organized as part of the research project “The Healthy Self as Body Capital: Individuals, Market-Based Societies, and Body Politics in Visual Twentieth Century Europe” funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and led by Christian Bonah (University of Strasbourg) and Anja Laukötter (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin). The ERC project researchers, in Berlin and Strasbourg, are working on a comparative history between Germany, France and Great Britain and the transformative processes that led to a shift from comprehensive healthcare in the “welfare state” model to new ideas of human capital and the healthy body as a form of individual capital. In particular, they focus on the economic factors driving these transformations. The primary source material is visual mass media, from historical non-fiction films to television shows and internet videos. Amateur films are additionally considered, which offers a point of comparison and potentially reveals a different medial logic. The project draws, in part, on the work of Michel Foucault and his critique of the modern state. Working from the hypothesis that our understanding of the body in an era of neoliberalism is formed by neoliberal theories, the project aims to historicize the developments that have led to this. It asks how the rise of the ideology of the “healthy self” can be better described and historically situated, and inquires into the social, political, and economic contexts that have contributed to and furthered this development. The project focuses on four topics: - The history of food and nutrition; - The history of exercise and sports; - The history of sexuality and reproduction; - The history of dependence and addiction (medicine, drugs, alcohol). The spring school seeks to familiarize young scholars with the topic “Visual History in the Twentieth Century: Bodies, Practices, and Emotions” and bring them into contact with experts in the field. It will introduce them to relevant theoretical approaches and they will discuss source material together in order to tackle questions like: - What theories and approaches of media analysis and historical contextualization are useful for work on this topic? - What primary and secondary sources are relevant and how can we get access to them? - How can we identify and analyze emotions, forms of subjectivation, and perceptions of the body in historical media? - What can we say about audiences and their use and reception of the various media discussed? The spring school includes talks and workshops with experts, a field trip to the technical collection of the Potsdam Film Museum, a roundtable discussion, and film viewings. Further, the springschool will benefit from a cooperation with the French Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (INA) and will be attended by the director of the INAthèque, Claude Mussou. Additionally, Prof. Dr. Frank Bösch (Director of the Center for Historical Research (ZZF), Potsdam) will hold a keynote lecture on “War, Films, and Emotions, 1895–1960.” Participants will also be invited to present on their own research projects. The spring school will be held at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin. It will be held in English. Participants can apply for funding for travel costs, and housing can be provided if needed. Interested master’s students, doctoral students, post-docs, and scholars in the fields of modern history, the history of medicine and science, and film studies, media studies, and communications are invited to apply with a cover letter and CV. Please send applications and any questions to Philipp Stiasny: stiasny@mpib-berlin.mpg.de The deadline for applications is 18 February 2018 and applicants will be contacted by 26 February 2018. Early applications are welcome! The ERC project will soon circulate a call for applications for doctoral positions. Participation in the spring school is not a requirement for applying, but it will give those interested a chance to become familiar with the project’s work and source material and meet the scholars working on it. https://dhvs.unistra.fr/agenda/evenement/news/spring-school-visual-history-in-the-twentieth-century-bodies-practices-and-emotions/ _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id BDFF68B94; Wed, 24 Jan 2018 07:35:04 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id CC6AC8B87; Wed, 24 Jan 2018 07:35:02 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 80D358B8A; Wed, 24 Jan 2018 07:34:58 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180124063458.80D358B8A@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 24 Jan 2018 07:34:58 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.555 research fellow (Sussex) 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: <20180124063503.25181.27302@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 555.

Submit a paper to the CAA @ EAA session, bring your data to our data clinic, or attend our computational archaeology summer school immediately after EAA! This year the EAA (European Association of Archaeologists) Annual Meeting is taking place between 5-8 September 2018 in the lovely city of Barcelona. We have prepared an exciting set of simulation-complexity-data related events. During the conference we will be running a standard paper session: CAA@EAA: Computational Models in Archaeology (abstract below) focusing on formal, computational models in archaeology (not exclusively simulation, but we do like our ABMs ;). The abstract deadline is 15 February. You can submit your abstract via the EAA system. On top of that throughout the conference we will offer Data Clinic – a personalised one-to-one consultation with data and modelling specialists (summary below). In order to give us a head-start with matching archaeologists to data experts we ask participants to submit a short summary outlining their data, research questions and the ideas they may already have via the standard route of the EAA system (please note, that as an alternative format it will not count towards the paper limit imposed by the EAA). Finally, we are very excited to announce the Summer School in Digital Archaeology which will take place immediately after the EAA, between 10-14 September 2018. A week of hands-on tutorials, seminars, team challenges and intensive learning, the Summer School will provide an in depth training in formal computational models focusing on data modelling, network science, semantic web and agent-based modelling. Thanks to the generous support of the Complex Systems Society we are able to offer a number of bursaries for the participants. For more details please see the School website; we recommend to pre-register as soon as possible (pre-registration form). Session: #672 CAA @ EAA: Computational Models in Archaeology Theme:Theories and methods in archaeological sciencesSession format:Session, made up of a combination of papers, max. 15 minutes each  Models are pervasive in archaeology. In addition to the high volume of empirical archaeological research, there is a strong and constant interest among archaeologists and historians in questions regarding the nature, mechanisms and particularities of social and socio-natural processes and interactions in the past. However, for the most part these models are constructed using non-formal verbal arguments and conceptual hypothesis building, which makes it difficult to test them against available data or to understand the behaviour of more complex models of past phenomena. The aim of this session is to discuss the role of formal computational modelling in archaeological theory-building and to showcase applications of the approach. This session will showcase the slowly changing trend in our discipline towards more common use of formal methods. We invite contributions applying computational and quantitative methods such as GIS, data analysis and management, simulation, network science, ontologies, and others to study past phenomena concerned with societal change, human-environment interactions and various aspects of past systems such as economy, cultural evolution or migration. Methodological and theoretical papers on the benefits and challenges of quantification, the epistemology of formal methods and the use of archaeological material as a proxy for social processes are also welcome. Main organiser: dr Iza Romanowska (Spain), dr Luce Prignano (Spain), María Coto-Sarmiento (Spain), dr Tom Brughmans (United Kingdom), Ignacio Morer (Spain) Session: #663 Archaeological Data Clinic. Personalised consulting to get the best of your data Theme:Theories and methods in archaeological sciencesSession format:Discussion session: Personalised consulting to get the best of archaeologial data. We will set up meetings with an expert in data analysis / network science / agent-based modelling.In the ideal world we would all have enough time to learn statistics, data analysis, R, several foreign and ancient languages and to read the complete works by Foucault. In reality, most researchers artfully walk the thin line between knowing enough and bluffing. The aim of this workshop is to streamline the process by pairing archaeologists with data and computer science specialists. - If you have a dataset and no idea what to do with it… - if you think PCA/least cost paths / network analysis / agent-based modelling is the way forward for your project but you don’t know how to get started… - If you need a second opinion to ensure that what you’ve already done makes sense… …then this drop-in clinic is for you. Let us know about your case by submitting an abstract with the following information: - A few sentences project outline; - Type and amount of data; - Research question(s); - What type of analysis you’d like to perform? (if known). We will set up a meeting with an expert in data analysis / network science / agent-based modelling. They will help you to query and wrangle your data, to analyse and visualise it and to guide you on the next steps. They may help you choose the right software or point you towards a study where similar problems have been solved. In a nutshell, they will save you a lot of time and frustration and make your research go further!

Conf. on Serious Games Development & Applications (SGDA 2018) 8th GameDays Int. Conference (GameDays 2018) 7-8 November 2018, Darmstadt, Germany http://www.jointconference-on-seriousgames.org ======================================================================= Serious Games are games with at least one characterizing goal in addition to the fun factor. Examples for characterizing goals represent behavior changes (healthy lifestyle, nutrition, environment-friendly mobility behavior) or an intended learning effect. Accordingly, application domains of Serious Games are settled in the fields of health (prevention, rehabilitation and therapy, exergames and cognitive training) and education, training and simulation, but there are also good examples for the fruitful use of Serious Games in the fields of marketing and advertisement, tourism and cultural heritage or Serious Games for creating awareness for societal relevant issues such as security, religion, climate and energy. The Joint Conference on Serious Games is fully dedicated to Serious Games and its interdisciplinary characteristics combining game concepts and game technologies with further concepts and technologies required in the different application domains.

We welcome applications from library faculty and staff, professors, instructors, and graduate students. The institute will introduce methods for digitally examining texts, the primary object of study for many in the humanities. Participants will learn quantitative, visual, and computational means to analyze texts, approaches that require thinking about texts as digital objects and data. They will experiment with these methods to query texts at both a micro level (isolating and analyzing information contained within texts) and macro level (analyzing multiple texts at once). Participants will explore how these approaches be productively incorporated into undergraduate humanities classes. Program and Faculty: Comprised of introductory readings on digital pedagogy, a week-long in-person session (held July 16-20, 2018 at Mississippi State University), and virtual sessions and online communication in the year following through July 2019, the institute is structured to give participants the time and space to learn new approaches as well as integrate them into teaching. The in-person sessions will focus on methods and tools for creating and analyzing textual data. The virtual sessions will focus on pedagogical practice, introducing participants to real world examples and best practices in teaching with digital humanities. Over the course of the program, participants will develop a course, syllabus module, assignment, or workshop, and will deposit it in an open-access repository. Attendees will thus gain a foundation in key methods, issues, and tools in the creation and analysis of data derived from text, as well as ways to incorporate them in the undergraduate classroom. (See the institute website for a more detailed schedule.) Institute Host: * • Mississippi State University Libraries Institute Directors: ● Lauren Coats, Associate Professor of English and Director of the Digital Scholarship Lab, Louisiana State University ● Emily McGinn, Digital Humanities Coordinator, University of Georgia In-person Session Leaders: ● Brandon Locke, Director of the Lab for the Education and Advancement in Digital Research (LEADR), Michigan State University ● Thomas Padilla, Visiting Digital Research Services Librarian, University of Nevada-Las Vegas ● Alicia Peaker, Digital Scholarship Specialist at Bryn Mawr College Virtual Session Leaders: ● Rachel Sagner Buurma, Associate Professor of English Literature, Swarthmore College ● Michelle Moravec, Associate Professor of History, Rosemont College ● Miriam Posner, Assistant Professor of Information Studies and Digital Humanities, UCLA ● Jentery Sayers, Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Maker Lab in the Humanities, University of Victoria ● Jesse Stommel, Executive Director of the Division of Teaching and Learning Technologies, University of Mary Washington Application Details: The institute will be open to 22 participants who regularly teach undergraduates or train those who do, and would like to incorporate digital humanities in the teaching of texts. The institute is free for participants, and those attending will receive a stipend. (Please see the institute website for more details about stipends and conditions of award for participants.) Application to the institute should include: ● An up-to-date CV. ● A statement of interest (500-700 words) describing how the institute will further your pedagogical and professional goals, your interest in learning and teaching digital humanities skills, and any relevant digital humanities experience. ● A description (250-500 words) of your teaching assignments and responsibilities, as well as a specific course or workshop(s) you would like to develop with a digital humanities component. ● A schedule or syllabus for a class or workshop you have taught. If the applicant has not taught before, please note this in the teaching description. ● One letter of recommendation emailed to nehtextualdata@gmail.com. Please send all material (except recommendation) as a single PDF, with letter of recommendation under separate cover, by February 1, 2018 to nehtextualdata@gmail.com. Participants will be notified of acceptance by March 15, 2018. Selection will prioritize candidates who demonstrate interests in learning and teaching DH skills, who have had little or no support for digital humanities pedagogy and training, who teach regularly and are engaged in undergraduate education, and who commit to incorporating digital humanities in a particular course or workshop in the year or two following the institute. Please see the Textual Data and Digital Texts in the Undergraduate Classroom website for further details.

Founded in 1986, the SFHSH has organized several research meetings in history and epistemology of human and social sciences and has published many collective books on the subject (for example, Claude Blanckaert, Laurent Loty, Marc Renneville, Nathalie Richard, Loïc Blondiaux (dir.), L’Histoire des sciences de l’homme. Trajectoires, enjeux et questions vives, Paris, L’Harmattan, 1999; Jacqueline Carroy Nathalie Richard François Vatin (dir.), L’Homme des sciences de l’homme. Une histoire transdisciplinaire, Nanterre, Presses universitaires de Paris Ouest, 2013). In 2015, the Society decided to organize general meetings, opened to all researchers in the field, on a regular basis. The first edition took place in November 2015, in Paris, and gathered approximately 50 participants. ************** Numerous research, often isolated, focus on the history of human and social sciences. In France, a learned society (Société Française pour l'Histoire des Sciences de l'Homme, SFHSH) and a journal (Revue d'histoire des sciences humaines) have been created in order to structure this research field. Their common objective was to give a real intellectual significance to the field and to open new directions in research, often at the crossroads between several disciplines within contemporary social sciences. The second SFHSH meeting aims at enhancing the visibility of research in the field and at fostering discussions and new collaborations between young and more senior researchers, who often work in different institutions, within different academic domains. During the discussions, new objects and new issues are likely to emerge, and former ones will undoubtedly be questioned through new approaches. The proposals for symposiums and papers may deal with the following issues (non-limitative list): - Enquiry and field-work. - Uses and applications. “Science for action”. - Actors. - Boundary issues: art, literature, natural science, etc. - Practice, methods, material culture. - Historicity, sources, historiography. - Institutions. - Circulation, reception, appropriation. ************** Symposium proposals (3 to 5 participants) must include a general presentation (approximately one page, with a short bibliography and a few lines presenting the organizer) and an abstract for each paper (approximately one page, with a short bibliography and a few lines presenting the author). Proposals for independent papers should consist in an abstract of approximately one page, with a short bibliography and a few lines presenting the author. The proposals, in French or in English, can be sent to Jacqueline Carroy and to Nathalie Richard before Tuesday 20, March 2018 jacqueline.carroy@wanadoo.fr Nathalie.Richard@univ-lemans.fr The Scientific Committee of the conference is the Executive Board of SFHSH. Proposals will be reviewed in April 2018 and results will be communicated early May 2018. ************** SFHSH Membership: - 30 € (regular member) - 15 € (student, unemployed) - 45 € (institution) See details on its website : https://sfhsh.hypotheses.org/la-sfhsh -- Nathalie Richard Professeur d'histoire contemporaine TEMOS (CNRS) Le Mans Université, Le Mans, France cerhio.fr univ-lemans.fr --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2018 16:19:23 +0000 From: "Tanner, Simon" Subject: FW: Digital Humanities Congress - Call for Papers In-Reply-To: I am pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the Digital Humanities Congress which will be held at the University of Sheffield, 6th – 8th September 2018.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 10:43:19 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: transferable skills? Some years ago, teaching digital humanities was often said to confer 'transferable skills'. In the UK this seemed a plausible way to sell (out) the field until the schools began teaching IT. Similarly the humanities as a whole were and still are defended by saying that they provide fundamental cognitive skills to be applied elsewhere. It's always seemed to me that such arguments are weak -- the humanities, digital or otherwise, are neither unique nor necessary ways to pick these up. (Many a clever person with little schooling has shown to his or her own satisfaction that, as a cynical uncle of mine used to say, "education is just a racket".) But what is worse they reduce these disciplines to mere tools or methods detachable from the sites in which they are practiced and so vastly underplay, indeed distort, what happens there. The 'just a tool' argument makes scholars into servants. For powerful thought on such things I would recommend Jean Lave's critical ethnographic work, e.g. Cognition in Practice (1988) and Apprenticeship in Critical Ethnographic Practice (2011).

Scientific researchers, organisations, associations, and schools are looking for appropriate technologies for annotating, integrating, sharing, accessing, analysing and visualising the mine of cultural collections and, more generally, cultural data, taking also into account the profiles and preferences of end users. Several national and European research and innovation project have been launched to these directions. A fundamental challenge that many of these projects deal with is how to make Cultural Heritage data, which is typically made available in diverse languages and formats, mutually interoperable, so that it can be searched, linked, and presented in a harmonised way across the boundaries of a Cultural Heritage institution. Early solutions were based on the syntactic or structural level of data, without leveraging the rich semantic structures underlying the content. During the last decades, solutions based on the principles and technologies of the Semantic Web have been proposed to explicitly represent the semantics of data sources and make both their content and their semantics machine operable and interoperable. In parallel, resources such as the CIDOC-CRM ecosystem have matured. As institutions bring their data to the Semantic Web level, the tasks of integrating, sharing, analysing and visualising data are now to be conceived in this new and very rich framework. The aim of the SW4CH workshop is to bring together Computer Scientists, Data Scientists and Digital Humanities researchers and practitioners involved in the development or deployment of Semantic Web solutions for Cultural Heritage. The goal is to provide a forum, where people from these fields will have the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences, present state of the art of realisations and outcomes of relevant projects, and discuss related challenges and solutions.

Call for Papers The purpose of the WEPIR 2018 workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, interested in advancing the evaluation of personalisation in information retrieval. The workshop focus is on the development of a common understanding of the challenges, requirements and practical limitations of meaningful evaluation of personalisation in information retrieval. The planned outcome of the workshop is the proposal of methodologies to support evaluation of personalised information retrieval from both the perspectives of the user experience in interactive search settings, and of user models for personalised information retrieval and their algorithmic incorporation in the search process. Since the focus of the workshop is primarily on exchange of ideas and development of new research activities, only short paper contributions will be sought in the form of 2 to 4 page papers in the standard ACM conference format. Topics for contributions include but not be limited to: Task design for evaluation of personalised information retrieval Test collections for personalised information retrieval Evaluation metrics for peronsalised information retrieval Protocols for evaluation of interactive personalised information retrieval User modeling for personalised information retrieval Search algorithms for personalised information retrievaL Submitted contributions will be selected for inclusion in the workshop on the basis of reviews by the programme committee Workshop format The topic of evaluation of the incorporation of personalisation within search applications and algorithms and their impact on user engagement and experience of search is currently underexplored within the information retrieval community. This is particularly the case from the perspective of comparative evaluation of interactive and algorithmic elements of personalised search systems, and the representation and exploitation of user models. To reflect this, the workshop will focus on establishing and exploring the principles working towards the outcome of a proposed framework. The workshop will have the following elements: Invited talks: focusing on user-centered interactive issues, and on evaluation of the algorithmic component of search. Presentations of papers submitted in response to an open call for research and position papers. Papers will be presented as short oral and poster format. The number of oral presentations will be limited to allow for the maximum of time for interactive activities, with other papers being presented as posters. Working groups focusing on relevant topics for the evaluation of personalised information retrieval, including experimental protocols, test collection development, evaluation metrics. Consolidation session: integration of the activities of the working groups, and proposal of agreed framework or frameworks for the evaluation of personalised information retrieval Paper Submissions The workshop is accepting short papers from 2 to 4 pages (including references) describing approaches or ideas/challenges on the topics of the workshop. Submissions do not need to be anonymized. Submissions should be in ACM Standard SIGCONF format. LaTeX and Word templates are available at (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings­-template). Papers should be submitted in pdf format through the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wepir2018) no later than midnight Sunday 11th of February, 2018 (AoE). Submissions will be reviewed by members of the workshop program committee. Accepted papers will be included in the extended CHIIR 2018 Proceedings and will be available via the ACM Digital Library. In addition, the WEPIR workshop proceedings will be indexed with CEUR. Authors of select papers may be invited to contribute to a journal publication which describes the outcomes of the workshop.

In-Reply-To: <20180127090937.A6E158BC5@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Willard I wonder if instead of "transferable" skills one were to think in terms of multiple mind sets. I have in mind the speculative work of Howard Gardner in Five Minds for the future. He offers a taxonomy: The Disciplined Mind. The Synthesizing Mind. The Respectful Mind. The Creating Mind. The Ethical Mind. I would set aside the methods for inculcating the habits of each of these minds and consider the grounding of this taxonomy in the theory of multiple intelligences. Such a framework would be less about transfer and more about application. -- Francois Lachance Scholar-at-large http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~lachance --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2018 19:35:16 +0000 From: Jeremy Browne Subject: Re: 31.562 transferable skills? In-Reply-To: <20180127090937.A6E158BC5@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> This is a discussion that needs to be had loudly. I first presented our DH program’s model of focusing on transferrable skills as a single slide at DH 2014. Responses to that model have been, at best, mixed (though I get more people asking about it each year). I don’t think that one model or the other (humanities-qua-humanities vs. selling-out) is universally correct, but each program must determine for themselves—and state to their students—to what degree they affiliate with each camp. My comments are in-line (I hope the formatting works): “Some years ago, teaching digital humanities was often said to confer 'transferable skills'. In the UK this seemed a plausible way to sell (out) the field until the schools began teaching IT.” Just because a skillset is shared between two disciplines (as web skills are between IT and DH) does not mean that each discipline values that skillset or approaches it in the same way. At our university (in the US), our IT and computer science programs focus more on mathematics and hard-core programming than on building things. We get a few CS majors each semester in our DH web development course because, in their words, they want to do something “practical.” “Similarly the humanities as a whole were and still are defended by saying that they provide fundamental cognitive skills to be applied elsewhere.” See Phil Gardner’s recent work at Michigan State’s Collegiate Employment Research Institute: http://www.ceri.msu.edu/about/dr-phil-gardner/ . There is good evidence of that transferability (at least in the US labor market). “It's always seemed to me that such arguments are weak -- the humanities, digital or otherwise, are neither unique nor necessary ways to pick these up. (Many a clever person with little schooling has shown to his or her own satisfaction that, as a cynical uncle of mine used to say, "education is just a racket".)” Autodidacts and self-motivated students are few and far between. If they were common, education would, indeed, be a racket (and out of business). What makes education less a racket is when it helps students find their place as adults in society. Since almost none of our students will become academics ( http://northwesthistory.blogspot.com/2011/11/open-letter-to-my-students-no-you.html ), preparing them with transferable skills while allowing them to work with material they enjoy seems to be a moral course. “But what is worse they reduce these disciplines to mere tools or methods detachable from the sites in which they are practiced and so vastly underplay, indeed distort, what happens there. The 'just a tool' argument makes scholars into servants.” I think this is where you and I disagree. I see myself as a servant to those I would teach, to those to whom I would explain, and to the authors and artifacts I study. Whether the tools are physical (like a book guillotine), digital (like a Python script), or cognitive (like a scholar’s analytical capacity), what differentiates the lauded performance from the mediocre is not so much that the user knew how to use the tool as it is what the user did with it.

Dear Willard, I would bring to your attention the article here below by Jean Twenge, appeared on 'The Conversation' last 22 January: https://theconversation.com/what-might-explain-the-unhappiness-epidemic-90212 It argues about the existence of a relation between the time spent before a screen and the level of happiness and personal satisfaction in life. The results of a study conducted on the matter appear to show an increasing level of unhappiness as long as the time spent with computer and Internet-related activities increases. Do you think that these results pose a new challenge especially to us Digital Humanists, particularly engaged with information technology and 'screen activities' not only during our leisure time, but, first of all, in our daily jobs? And, if so, what type of challenge? Maybe the challenge of being required to contribute to raise the 'level of happiness' to counterbalance the results mentioned above? And in which way? I hope this question may be of interest to you and the other Friends of Humanist List. Thank you for your attention, many regards.

And asks > Do you think that these results pose a new challenge > especially to us Digital Humanists, particularly engaged > with information technology and 'screen activities' not > only during our leisure time, but, first of all, in > our daily jobs? I suspect that the study's category of 'screen activities' includes doing things with computers that make people miserable (the most important of which is feeding their addiction to social media) as well as doing things that make people happy (the most important of which is programming computers, followed by reading interesting words, watching films, and listening to music, and so on.) That is, I think the use of social media is a confounding variable here. I am confident that if we separate that one out, the results would show that there are 'screen activities' that are positively creative and generate happiness and others that are positively destructive and create misery. And if THAT'S true, it does put pose a challenge to those of us working in education. It means that we have to try to wean young people off social media, so we must not use it ourselves, must not make it part of our teaching, must not use it to promote our institutions, and so on.

In-Reply-To: <20180129062829.70BB18AEA@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> The data are not presented in a way that allows for determining whether use screens or the contact with the outside world that these screens allow is the root of the effects noted. Finding stated at end of the article Those who have only a little interactive contact with an outside world are happier than both those who have no contact or those who have more contact with the outside world. Corollary: finding more information about people with different conditions from your own is more likely to decrease your happiness. Hypothesis: developing empathy for a wider group of people is statistically more likely to decrease your happiness than is developing empathy for a segregated group of people with whom you have lived most (or all) of your life. Correlation which was mentioned in passing (near the end)—general happiness for young adults declined before the study; the subjects of the study are statistically likely to be the children of the persons who were young adults when the general decline was first noted. Unexplored hypothesis--parents who have children early in their adult lives and who are in an age-based cohort of adults who are statistically less happy than are older adults raise more unhappy children than did the happier adults from a happier time. Corollary: the X-STATE-OF-MIND of nostalgia is an excellent snare for confirmation bias. -- Dr. Robert Delius Royar PhD, Associate Professor of English Morehead State University r.royar@moreheadstate.edu _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1BAC78BFC; Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:23:35 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2C8298BF5; Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:23:34 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 7F8DA8B83; Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:23:28 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180130072329.7F8DA8B83@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 08:23:28 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.570 developer & project manager (Western Sydney) 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: <20180130072335.20384.4036@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 570.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2018 10:40:11 +0000 From: Vicky Garnett Subject: PARTHENOS project releases new training module PARTHENOS releases new training module to help researchers manage, improve and open up research data The PARTHENOS Project has released a new training module, aimed at Humanities researchers, entitled “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data”. The module, which can be accessed at http://training.parthenos-project.eu/training-modules/, addresses concepts such as the FAIR Principles, Open Science, and Data Management Plans, with a viewpoint specific to the Humanities. As Open Science becomes increasingly important to researchers in all disciplines, it is important that researchers ensure that their data is compliant with good practice guidelines and robust enough to facilitate sharing knowledge. The “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data” module developed by PARTHENOS incorporates expertise from data practitioners across Europe in a range of sectors, including Cultural Heritage Institutions, Europeana, research infrastructures and national data services, and presents it through non-technical language and reusable resources. Similar to the other training modules available from the PARTHENOS Training Suite, “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data” offers both a linear path through the topics, and the option to pick and choose sections according to what the user is most interested in learning. Training materials used throughout the module, such as videos and presentation slides, are also available for lecturers and trainers to use in their own courses. The “Manage, Improve and Open Up Your Research Data” module is just one of many new resources being developed by the PARTHENOS project in 2018, which will also include a ‘Webinar’ series based around issues in e-Humanities and e-Heritage, beginning in February.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2018 06:41:29 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: transferable skills A few days ago I wrote about the phrase 'transferable skills', having found someone, the anthropologist Jean Lave, who spent some years studying how apprentice tailors in Monrovia, Liberia, learn their craft, how ordinary Americans use maths in the supermarket and how people in Weight Watchers deal with numbers, e.g. of calories. She focused specifically on their arithmetical practices in relation to the teaching of maths in the schools. Grossly to oversimplify, she found that the transfer-model of education in mathematics, from context-free learning in the classroom to application in ordinary life, is deeply flawed. She found that what happens in actual practice is fundamentally different from simple application of a tool in a toolkit. Lave's work, in Cognition in Practice (1988) and Apprenticeship in Critical Ethnographic Practice (2011), brought to mind the doctrine of 'transferable skills' that has echoed in the hallways of higher education and been part of the argument for teaching digital humanities. It also brought to mind the dismissive 'just a tool' slur used to argue against dignifying computer-use by academic programmes in which such teaching happens. This slur, I said, makes the practice of digital humanities mere servitude. Jeremy Browne, in Humanist 31.565, wrote that, > I see myself as a servant to those I would teach, to those to whom I > would explain, and to the authors and artifacts I study. Whether the > tools are physical (like a book guillotine), digital (like a Python > script), or cognitive (like a scholar's analytical capacity), what > differentiates the lauded performance from the mediocre is not so > much that the user knew how to use the tool as it is what the user > did with it. About service, it seems to me the question is not whether but how a service is understood, to what end it is practised, and in terms of power-relations, where the authority lies. The question is how a master (scholar) of a(n intellectual) craft serves his or her apprentice (students) so that the requisite transformations in knowledge and abilities happen. So, how is digital humanities best taught? Not, I think, by transferring from one's storehouse, in exchange for considerable funds, a toolkit. Comments?

Dear all, I am delighted to announce a series of free webinars over the coming months as part of the training activities of the PARTHENOS project. The PARTHENOS e-Humanities and e-Heritage Webinar Series provide an opportunity to explore the new possibilities arising from the digital and infrastructural developments in the Humanities and Cultural Heritage research. The series will act as a lens through which a more nuanced understanding of the role of Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage Research Infrastructures for research can be gained. The webinars are aimed mainly at Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage practitioners who wish to learn how to maximise their benefits and cooperation with Research Infrastructures. The webinar series evolves from user and partner feedback on the PARTHENOS training strategy and subject matter. Starting from the researchers’ perspective, the individual webinars will focus on the role of Research Infrastructures in the individual phases of the research life cycle and on the engagement in Research Infrastructures in general. Each webinar of the PARTHENOS e-Humanities and e-Heritage Webinar Series has an individual focus and can be followed independently. About the intended audience: This webinar series is aimed at Digital Humanities and Cultural Heritage practitioners who wish to learn how to optimally benefit from and cooperate with Research Infrastructures. The webinars are also suitable for computer scientists and researchers/practitioners in data centres who want to gain more insight into humanities and cultural heritage related aspects of digital research infrastructures. Registration is now online for the following three PARTHENOS webinars: - Thursday 8 February 2018, 11am CET, “Create Impact with Your e-Humanities and e-Heritage Research” (Juliane Stiller, Klaus Thoden) - Tuesday 13 February 2018, 11 am CET, “How to Work Together Successfully with e-Humanities and e-Heritage Research Infrastructures: The Devil is in the Details” (Marie Puren, Klaus Illmayer) (Part of Love Data 2018 Week) - Thursday 22 February 2018, 11 am CET, “e-Humanities and e-Heritage Research Infrastructures: Beyond Tools (General Introduction)” (Steven Krauwer, Stefan Schmunck) More details and registration link via the PARTHENOS Training Webseite [1]. The webinars will be conducted using Adobe Connect. The PARTHENOS e-Humanities and e-Heritage webinar series is a cross PARTHENOS training effort with input and speakers from several PARTHENOS’ Work Packages http://www.parthenos-project.eu/activities-and-wps/ as well as external experts. It is organised and moderated by Ulrike Wuttke (University of Applied Sciences Potsdam) and has been developed and is conducted by PARTHENOS’ partners, the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam and CLARIN (University Leipzig) as part of the PARTHENOS Training activities led by Trinity College Dublin http://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/ (TCD). It will feature leading experts in the different fields and is based on the individual PARTHENOS areas of interest, cluster partner activities and contents of the PARTHENOS Training Suite.

Ames" Subject: CFP: Imaginaries of Techno-Optimism (abstracts due March 1), special issue of Science as Culture Imaginaries of Techno-Optimism: CfP for Science as Culture Guest Editors: Damien Droney, Morgan G. Ames, & Mark Gardiner Deadline for Abstracts: March 1st 2018 Techno-optimism — the expectation that science and technology will lead to economic, political, or social good — is a mainstay of business, government, and popular culture. Techno-optimistic attitudes range from the hope that technologies may have positive effects to the assumption that they necessarily will. For entrepreneurs or political leaders, promoting the promise of scientific and technological progress can lead to publicity and financial investment, draw the attention of development agencies, and attract enthusiastic employees and clients. While a charge of techno-utopianism is often taken as an insult, techno-optimism is embraced by some technology writers and activists. It is especially important to examine techno-optimism in the cynical contemporary moment, which is marked by an increased perception of the threat posed by technology (Richardson 2015). In recent years, the promises of new media have been tempered by fears of state-sponsored hacking and corporate data monopolies. While techno-pessimism is on the rise, an underlying expectation of technological progress continues to structure technological design and policy. In this proposed special issue, we explore the nature of the hope that science and technology will make the world a better place and consider its effects. Drawing on Jasanoff and Kim’s (2015) conceptual framework of sociotechnical imaginaries, the contributors to this special issue ask: How is techno-optimism produced? and what are its consequences? The concept of sociotechnical imaginaries provides an orienting framework for understanding the origins and consequences of these positive and future-focused dispositions toward technology. Jasanoff defines sociotechnical imaginaries as “collectively held, institutionally stabilized, and publicly performed visions of desirable futures, animated by shared understandings of forms of social life and social order attainable through, and supportive of, advances in science and technology” (2015:4). Sociotechnical imaginaries explicitly connect the production of imaginaries (see Anderson 1983, Taylor 2003, Appadurai 1996) to the production of sociotechnical systems (see Bijker, Hughes, and Pinch 1987). In this way, it foregrounds science and technology as co-produced with moral and political landscapes of social life (Jasanoff 2004), highlighting social, ethical, and political attachments that motivate technoscientific project. We focus in particular on optimistic sociotechnical imaginaries as these visions often motivate and direct the design and governance of technologies. By centering the performances of imaginaries within distributed sociotechnical systems, the framework of sociotechnical imaginaries draws attention to both the means and effects of articulating optimistic attitudes toward the sociotechnical future. Where does techno-optimism come from? We welcome contributions that consider the origins of particular optimistic imaginaries and the ways that those imaginaries are maintained. Submissions could focus on the power-laden sources of techno-optimism, including unequal capacities to shape or sustain sociotechnical imaginaries. What are the consequences of optimistic sociotechnical imaginaries? We seek contributions that examine the intended and unintended effects of techno-optimism. Papers may consider which groups are served by techno-optimistic imaginaries, or which problems are highlighted within optimistic discourses of the technological future. We especially welcome contributions that expand the geographic and thematic diversity of the special issue, including case studies from Europe or Asia on topics including medicine, finance, and computing. In addition, we are interested in contributions that employ critical social analysis that is not foregrounded in existing applications of the sociotechnical imaginaries framework. Submissions may, for example, employ the concept of ideology to analyze techno-optimism (see Masco 2004; Turner 2006; Barbrook and Cameron 1996), or consider examples of techno-optimism that are “cruel” (Berlant 2011) by working against the features that make technologies attractive in the first place. Please submit abstracts to Damien Droney (ddroney@uchicago.edu) by March 1st. Abstracts should follow the Science as Culture guidelines (200-250 words, see http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/csac_edit_guidelines.pdf), but longer drafts or synopses are also welcome.

Unnamed article / statement by A.J. Perlis, in: Management and the Computer of the Future (ed. Greenberger, M.I.T. Press and John Wiley), p. 210. To quote Professor Perlis (Perlis, 1962) "a course in programming, if it is taught properly, is concerned with abstraction: the abstraction of con- structing, analyzing and describing processes." As such he thinks it important in a liberal arts course as in science or engineering. Any earlier quotable public recommendations like this?

Details regarding the Institute and application can be found below or at www.documentaryediting.org/?page_id=3952. Thank you, Nikolaus Wasmoen ADE Education Director nlwasmoe@buffalo.edu ______________________________________________ The Association for Documentary Editing (ADE) welcomes applications for the 47th Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents, to be held 17 – 21 June 2018 at the Red Lion Inn in Olympia, Washington. The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents, known informally as "Camp Edit," is an annual five-day workshop for individuals new to the field of historical documentary editing. With the needs of the participants as a guide, experienced documentary editors provide instruction in the principles and practices of documentary editing and insight into the realities of work on a documentary edition. Documentary editing is the craft of preparing historical writings for publication in print or online. The goal is to produce an authoritative edition of the material, with an accurate transcription of the original manuscript and an editorial framework that facilitates understanding of the text and context. Participants in the Editing Institute might be joining the staff of an existing documentary editing project or launching their own. Since its inception in 1972, the Editing Institute has trained more than 500 individuals. These include not only full-time documentary editors but also college and university faculty and graduate students, archivists and librarians, government historians, public historians, and independent scholars. No previous editorial or technical experience is required, we welcome applications from individuals in any field who would benefit from intensive training in the design and execution of a documentary editing project. The 47th Editing Institute will take place in conjunction with the 2018 ADE Annual Meeting, which will be held immediately following the Editing Institute, 21-23 June, also at the Red Lion Inn in Olympia. The Editing Institute charges no tuition, and travel stipends of $1200 will be provided to eligible participants living outside the immediate Olympia area, free registration to attend the Annual Meeting, and a one-year membership in the ADE. Admission, however, is competitive. For more information about the institute or the application, please email nlwasmoe@buffalo.edu. You can apply online at www.documentaryediting.org/?page_id=3952, where you can also download an offline application form if you prefer to email your submission. The extended deadline for applications is now 8 February 2018. The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents is administered by the Association for Documentary Editing under a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), an affiliate of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 53F258C99; Fri, 2 Feb 2018 08:59:56 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 63A878C7C; Fri, 2 Feb 2018 08:59:55 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CC3238C7B; Fri, 2 Feb 2018 08:59:52 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180202075952.CC3238C7B@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2018 08:59:52 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.580 events: epistemic role & effectiveness of visualisation 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: <20180202075956.8168.92810@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 580.

Submissions are invited for the Ninth Workshop on the Philosophy of Information, which will take place at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and Arts in Brussels, 26th–27th of June 2018, just before SPSP 2018 in Ghent. Call for Papers The theme of the workshop is information visualisation. Our aim is to focus on informational artefacts that encode or convey information in order to try and explain why visualisations can play a certain epistemic role and why certain visualisation are more effective than others. A special attention will be given to the study of how scientists rely on visualisations and how visual artefacts are designed in the sciences. On this basis, we wish to explore convergences between the philosophy of information and the philosophy of science as well as between the formal sciences (logic, computing) and the philosophy of information. We therefore encourage scholars of various disciplinary backgrounds to explore the lines of inquiry we propose. Topics of interest include: • Extensions and critical evaluations of visualisations as models and as epistemic representations in the context of data-intensive science. • The epistemology of data and data science in the context of visualisation. • The logic and epistemology of design in the context of information visualisation. • Case-studies of specific visualisation-practices or types of visualisations; including drawings, photographs and diagrams. • Meta-theoretical reflections on the status of theoretical foundations for information visualisation. • The role of formal methods for the study of visualisation. How to submit an abstract Abstracts of 500-1000 words should be submitted no later than 15 March 2018 to socphilinfo@gmail.com. Submissions will be evaluated by the programme committee, and notification of acceptance will be issued by 15 April 2018. Organisation and contact The workshop is organised by the Society for the Philosophy of Information.

Helping them to link practice to theory is important, as are links to one or more other humanities disciplines. I realise that 4 is hard to accomplish in parts of the world with a non-inclusive educational systems, that is, with high tuition fees. Yet I think it is important. An intellectual kid cannot really know what happens with them when they find themselves as programmers. In fairness they should be allowed to realise it was a failure and do something else instead. All of this is simplified to the extreme of course.

We can learn something quite useful here, I think, by stretching 'scientists' and 'scientific' to cover ourselves and the quality of work we strive to achieve; 'philosophers' to denote those who think seriously about scholarly research; and 'experimental' to qualify the research we do with machines. (I am not saying that we are scientists in the usual white-lab-coated meaning of that term. The stretch, rather, is enabled and made necessary by the powerful influence of science on all we do with our technoscientific machine.) The question I wish to raise is all about the writing of human agency out of some of our accounts of what we do, as if "an appropriately deliberative and methodical role" were the point, as if 'formal methods' (those reducible to algorithmic form) were axioms toward which we converge, the goods we have on offer. I'm as guilty as the next person in wanting to stop there. Experience is so messily psychological, so contingent on person, place, time. But don't you think we need to see beyond method, to keep ourselves in the picture?

Matti was a pioneer in English historical corpus linguistics - and he was known by many as the "father" of the Helsinki Corpus of English Texts (published in 1991). In 1996, he became Chair of the Board of ICAME, the organisation that changed its name to "International Archive of Modern *and Medieval* English" (keeping its original acronym) in recognition of the thriving historical corpus work that was so much driven by Matti's inspiration. After leaving the Board in 2004, Matti was made "honorary life member" of ICAME. He retired in 2001, but continued to do research, and to advise students and colleagues. Everybody who has had the pleasure of meeting Matti in person will no doubt remember him as a genuinely supportive, good-humoured and warm-hearted colleague and friend - he will be sorely missed. An obituary can be found on the Varieng website of Helsinki University: https://www.helsinki.fi/en/news/language-culture/in-memoriam-matti-rissanen, which also links to a blog entry where memories and recollections can be shared by those who wish to pay tribute to Matti.

In this book Wells proposes that in accordance with Turing's metaphor of the human computer writing on paper, we interpret the tape of the abstract machine as an external medium with which it interacts. In other words, Wells extends Turing's model of cognitive activity into the world and so joins Andy Clark and many others who argue that human cognition is an environmental affair. Wells calls it "ecological functionalism". He argues that the TM can thus be regarded as an adequate model for human psychology. In my view this model is hardly adequate psychologically, for although we can doubtless imagine (or generate cognitively?) any number of Turing Machines, regarding our brains as no more than universal TMs still restricts us to representations of absolute consistency and complete explicitness.

Then you need descriptive markup, and will love Balisage. Balisage brings together document architects; librarians; archivists; computer scientists; XML wizards; XSLT, XQuery, and XProc programmers; implementers of XSLT and XQuery engines and other markup-related software; XForms developers; semantic-Web evangelists; standards developers; academics; industrial researchers; government and NGO staff; industrial developers; practitioners; consultants; and the world’s greatest concentration of markup theorists. Some participants are busy designing replacements for XML while others still use SGML (and know why they do). Discussion is open, candid, and unabashedly technical. Content-free marketing spiels are unwelcome and ineffective. Balisage: where serious markup practitioners and theoreticians meet every August. We solicit papers on any aspect of markup and its uses; topics include but are not limited to: • Cutting-edge applications of XML and related technologies • Integration of XML with other technologies (e.g., content management, XSLT, XQuery) • Performance issues in parsing, XML database retrieval, or XSLT processing • Development of angle-bracket-free user interfaces for non-technical users • Deployment of XML systems for enterprise data • Design and implementation of XML vocabularies • Case studies of the use of XML for publishing, interchange, or archiving • Alternatives to XML/JSON/whatever • Expressive power and application adequacy of XSD, Relax NG, DTDs, Schematron, and other schema languages • Invisible XML Detailed Call for Participation: https://www.balisage.net/Call4Participation.html Call for Peer Reviewers: https://www.balisage.net/peer/ReviewAppForm.html About Balisage: https://www.balisage.net/ For more information: info@balisage.net or +1 301 315 9631 Balisage: The Markup Conference There is Nothing As Practical As A Good Theory ======================================================= Balisage: The Markup Conference 2018 mailto:info@balisage.net July 31 - August 3, 2018 http://www.balisage.net Preconference Symposium: July 30, 2018 +1 301 315 9631 ======================================================= _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 044338DBE; Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:19:49 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id C6C068DA7; Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:19:48 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 6D57A8BF6; Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:19:46 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180207061946.6D57A8BF6@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:19:46 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.590 Turing's tape; teaching programming in the liberal arts 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: <20180207061949.21991.97298@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 590.

In-Reply-To: <20180202075601.BE61B8C84@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Manfred, Further to your accidental discovery of the Alan J Perlis words on why we should teach programming to all students, not just Arts and Humanities students, you, and others here, might like this ... assuming you don't already know it. Mateas, M 2005. Procedural Literacy: Educating the New Media Practitioner. On The Horizon. Special Issue. Future of Games, Simulations and Interactive Media in Learning Contexts, v13, n1 2005. Mateas builds upon Perlis' proposal that "... all students, engineering and liberal arts students alike, should have a two semester computer science sequence in their freshman year." The purpose of which Perlis explained saying: "It is not to teach people how to program a specific computer, nor is it to teach some new languages. The purpose of a course in programming is to teach people how to construct and analyze processes." Mateas presents a persuasive argument, I think, that understanding how computation works, and what it can be made to do, is basic to the procedural literacy that (he argues) everybody needs, and he goes on to present his approach to treating computation as an expressive medium. This is one of my favourite papers about computation. Best regards, Tim PS: For a lengthy but interesting review of Michael Mateas's 2003 book "A Preliminary Poetics for Interactive Drama and Game," with some further interesting responses at the end, see here http://www.electronicbookreview.com/thread/firstperson/aristotelean Doesn't this count as work in the Digital Humanities? > On 02 Feb 2018, at 08:56, Humanist Discussion Group wrote: > > Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 578. > Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London > www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist > Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > > > > Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2018 14:19:15 +0100 > From: Manfred Thaller > Subject: Teaching programming in the liberal arts > In-Reply-To: <20180130072211.BB3548BF9@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> > > > Dear HUMANISTs, > > quite accidentally I stumbled across a statement why it should be > considered to teach programming to arts students from 1962. > > Unnamed article / statement by A.J.

Are e.g. emotions resolvable into binary states? Do think that the direction on modeling emotions goes the other way ... emotions are built up from small decisions that circle strange attractors, i.e. catastrophe theory can provide some models: The neural mechanisms of the brain form a dynamic system, the equilibrium states of which can be represented by attractors, and Thom claims that all sudden jumps possible between the simplest attractors are described by elementary catastrophes. Zeeman holds that the model is most accurate in describing the limbic system (concerned with emotion and mood) rather than the more complex activities of the cortex. So the sort of emotional events that concern psychologists can be modeled in their sudden changes, and related to corresponding functions of the brain. p. 194 The Power of Human Imagination: New Methods in Psychotherapy (2012) Edited by Jerome L.

Dear colleagues, I am working on an article focusing on the ethical dimensions clustering about mobile devices - primarily mobile phones but also tablets (and with a nod towards mobile devices in the network of the Internet of Things). Somewhat surprisingly, my initial searches among the usual suspects of databases and journals have turned up remarkably little in terms of either careful reflection and/or more empirically oriented work. Perhaps I'm just a bungler when it comes to database searching - but if anyone can recommend relevant resources, I'd be most grateful and will gratefully acknowledge your assistance.

Prof. Liu's keynote will be followed by a panel discussion, and drinks & nibbles. Details of the panel discussion, and a related symposium earlier the same day, will follow. Places are limited. Book at EventBrite: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-digital-humanities-the-digital-modern-book-launch-tickets-42860036523. Date: March 29th, 5.30 - 8.30. Council Room, King's College London. About the author James Smithies is Director of King's Digital Lab and Deputy Director of eResearch at King's College London. About the book The Digital Humanities & the Digital Modern provides new critical and methodological approaches to digital humanities, intended to guide technical development as well as critical analysis. Informed by the history of technology and culture and new perspectives on modernity, Smithies grounds his claims in the engineered nature of computing devices and their complex entanglement with our communities, our scholarly traditions, and our sense of self. Reviews “This is a book I wish I had written: an expansive yet also focused examination of the digital humanities (and its critics) in their multifarious connections to the technologies, philosophies, and cultural forces of "digital modern" society. The book is unique in its combined theoretical, technical, and ethical perspective. It speaks with great clarity and wide range of reference about digital humanities infrastructure in a systems framework, software-intensive research, artificial intelligence, the "culture" of the digital humanities, and a large ambit of other developments.” (Alan Liu, Distinguished Professor, UC Santa Barbara, USA) “Smithies offers a compelling new framework for addressing many of the most vexing and contentious issues in the digital humanities. Ranging over a vast body of history, criticism and methodology, The Digital Modern makes a crucial contribution to our understanding of the past, present and future of digital scholarship in the computational era.” (Professor Paul Arthur, Chair in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences, Edith Cowan University, Australia) Dr. James Smithies Director (0.8) | King’s Digital Lab | www.kdl.kcl.ac.uk Deputy-Director (0.2) | King's College eResearch Virginia Woolf Building Room 2.50 | King's College London DDI +44 (0) 207 848 7552 | MOB +44 7543 632076 james.smithies@kcl.ac.uk | jamessmithies.org | @jamessmithies _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 13B8C8DD6; Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:30:05 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 26BA98DBE; Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:30:05 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 4A6E18DBE; Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:30:02 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180207063002.4A6E18DBE@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 07:30:02 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.594 events: object-orientated; Global DH; Replaying Japan 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: <20180207063005.25615.29569@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 594.

[forwarded from the email discussion list of SHOT SIGCIS] I was thinking that it might be interesting and fun to pull together a traditional organized panel for SHOT 2018 of people who rely on the study of artifacts (including digital artifacts like computer programs, and also online platforms) for their research in the history of technology. The panel could be an opportunity to present this kind of “object-oriented history of technology” work, and to talk about its promise and pitfalls. https://www.historyoftechnology.org/annual-meeting/2018-shot-annual-meeting-10-14-october-st-louis/shot-annual-meeting-submit-panel-papers/ If this sounds interesting to anyone, please send me a direct email, and I’ll see what I might pull together.

They encode how products are manufactured, and how the processes are to be performed. Such regulations, in general, are difficult to understand and apply. Undoubtedly, the law, for example, as the reflection of human society, presents the broadest range of expression and interpretation, since the interpretation of even the most common words becomes problematic. Even individual regulations may be self-contradictory as a result of their gradual development process, as well as the lack of a formal drafting process. In an increasingly complicated environment, as well as regulatory review, automated reasoning processes become more and more necessary. Current state-of-the-art technologies enforce reasoning applications on legal texts such as decision making and compliance checking starting from logical and/or ontology-based representations of norms. These semantic representations are typically obtained via Natural Language Processing (NLP) in an automatic fashion, in order to avoid huge time-consuming manual effort. To bridge such challenges, several research projects in the legal domain have been recently funded by the EU and similar institutions, among which is "MIREL: MIning and REasoning with Legal texts". The aim of the MIREL project is to bridge the gap between the community working on legal ontologies and NLP methods applied to legal documents, and the community working on reasoning methods and formal logic, towards the objectives described above. This special issue focuses on legal reasoning, thus welcoming submissions describing novel approaches for reasoning in the legal domain starting from logical or ontology-based representations of legal knowledge. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes: - Logical formalization of legal knowledge- Norm enforcement and compliance - Decision making methods and applications - Computational methods for legal reasoning - Legal argumentation - Dynamics of normative knowledge - Formal models of norms, normative systems, and norm-governed societies - Using logic formalisms and technologies in large legal document collections - Legislative and case-law metadata models - Semantic annotations for legal texts - Inconsistency handling and exception-tolerant reasoning - Legal reasoning under uncertainty and incomplete information - Legal reasoning with vague notions - Defeasible normative systems - Implementations and applications in the legal domain - Large-scale normative reasoning Important Dates - Paper submission: Jul 31st, 2018 - Notification to authors: November 30th, 2018 - Camera-ready: January 1st, 2019 Submission Instructions Papers submitted to the special issue must be sent to Jane Spurr (jane.spurr@kcl.ac.uk). Please specify this special issue in the email subject. We expect papers of about 15-30 pages; however, justified exceptions are possible. Each submission will be assigned with two reviewers.

Specific: This is certainly an example for the "computer paradigm" for cognition. I am wondering, however, whether the focus on the TM does not restrict the power of the paradigm unnecessarily. It is a bit doubtful, whether real world computers can be completely reduced to TMs - if one wants to stick to Turing equivalent machines, would it not at the very least be useful to refer to register machines? Or, to give the argument in its sloppy form: Would you not at least need a random access memory? - Even if that does NOT change the basic argument, that cognition depends heavily on context, be it internal or external. In my opinion it actually strengthens the argument, as this allows a more elegant form of parallel processing of contextual (aka environmental) operations. General: > still restricts us to representations of absolute consistency and complete explicitness. Are e.g. emotions resolvable into binary states? Why? I think the notion of "binary states" as an unavoidable base line for (machine based) computation is a misunderstanding. Bits are binary, yes. But who cares? Fourier transforms are at the heart of much of the power that underlies modern image processing, and they are most certainly built upon real numbers - even if the conceptually infinite precision of a concrete real number involved is restricted by the number of bits available in processing. (I admit, that I am thinking now about real-life computers and am not sufficiently deep into the TMs to know, how complicated it is for which of the many derived forms of them to support reals.) I spent my last six weeks mainly collecting literature on handling vagueness, incomplete, contradictory and uncertain information. Engineering has certainly endorsed the notion in the meantime, that you must not shy away from inconsistency and incompleteness of ... at the VERY least data, but, in my opinion, information too.

Hi Willard Here is a proposed posting. It solicits input from Humanities Discussion Group members on the use of pattern recognition of signatures and marks affixed to C17th High Court of Admiralty depositions in conjunction with socio-demographical-spatial data explore segmentation of a medium sized data set. We are putting together a proposal for a five day long Data Study Group led by the Alan Turing Institute, April 16th-20th, 2018, and any input prior to our submission date of February 12th would be useful. *Pattern recognition of signatures and marks in C17th legal manuscripts* We are putting together a proposal for a five day long Data Study Group led by the Alan Turing Institute, April 16th-20th, 2018, and any input prior to our submission date of February 12th would be useful. Data Study Group participants are typically mathematicians, engineers and computationally sophisticated PhD candidates associated with Turing Institute research partners. We are especially interested in what HDG members think of the likelihood that significant information value will be found within signature and marke patterns, beyond the simple observation that they are signatures or markes, with consequent implications about general literacy. Our proposed challenge to Turing Institute researchers is to explore educational, occupational and other segmentation in MarineLives data concerning early C17th High Court of Admiralty deponents, without a priori assumptions as to possible groupings, using pattern recognition of signatures and markes as one input to segmentation We will provide a MarineLives data set to the Alan Turing Institute to support the challenge to the proposed Data Study Group. The data set will include digital files of signatures and markes affixed to the depositions by deponents, which will have been pre-processed using Transkribus' Handwriting Text Recognition engine, together with data categorising the deponent, who affixed the signature or marke, in terms of age, residence, occupation and age, together with the date of the deposition. Data Study Groups take place three times a year and are a week long. Participating researchers are drawn from the Turing Institute's five founding universities (University of Cambridge, University of Edinburgh, University of Oxford, University College London, the University of Warwick), and the wider academic community. Director of the Data Study Groups is Turing Fellow and Associate Professor at Warwick, Dr Sebastian Vollmer. Past Data Study Group partners have been drawn from industry, and include Codecheck, Dtsl and Inmarsat. The April 2018 DSG is unusual in that the theme is 'Data Science for Social Good', with Accenture covering the costs of participants.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 7 Feb 2018 16:30:55 -0500 From: Diane Jakacki Subject: CFP for MLA 2019: What Do We Teach When We Teach DH? What Do We Teach When We Teach DH? (A special session on digital humanities pedagogy at MLA 2019) Over the last decade as digital humanities research has flourished, the MLA convention—as well as other venues—has witnessed increasingly vigorous discussions about teaching digital humanities. We now find ourselves in a discipline that is not so new (acknowledging, of course, that DH is as old as the computer itself) and simultaneously at a moment when we need to talk formally about teaching and learning. As such, if the unacknowledged debate that sits at the heart of discussions about digital humanities is always, “What is digital humanities?”, it’s important to acknowledge how that question is always already related to the question of how we teach digital humanities. We are interested in proposals that tackle one or more of the following three broad subjects: - The academic integration of digital humanities - effective class sizes and the use of lab-like structures in place of / addition to “normal” course sessions - tensions between breadth and depth in teaching digital humanities - who, exactly, has the bona fides to teach digital humanities - how digital humanities pedagogy might differ for undergraduate and graduate students - Ethical ramifications of teaching digital humanities - the line between students’ experiential learning and student labor - the complicated status of so much digital humanities pedagogy being performed by graduate students, staff, and non-tenure-track faculty - the invisible labor of teaching in a field that is still developing - the privileges inherent in teaching digital humanities (e.g., which schools have the resources to afford a DHer and/or the equipment that might be necessary) - student labor, invisible labor, complicated status, accessibility, closed/open pedagogies & software, privilege viz DH - DH pedagogy across languages and literatures Given the nature of the conversation we hope to host, this session will not focus on the following: - Expositions of assignments and/or syllabi - Institutional models for support (funding, human resources, infrastructure) Details The panel will be made up of 3 papers of 10-15 minutes each, followed by a response by the organizers, and then discussion with the audience. Drafts will be shared internally for comment and review on 1 November 2018. Final papers will be posted publicly on 1 December 2018 for comments and discussion leading up to the Convention in Chicago. Send 250-word abstracts and CVs to dkj004@bucknell.edu and brian.croxall@byu.edu by 15 March 2018. -- Diane Jakacki, Ph.D. Digital Scholarship Coordinator Faculty Teaching Associate in Comparative Humanities Bucknell University diane.jakacki@bucknell.edu @DianeJakacki _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 6DA868E19; Thu, 8 Feb 2018 10:03:24 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8E93C8E13; Thu, 8 Feb 2018 10:03:23 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5FB508E0F; Thu, 8 Feb 2018 10:03:21 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180208090321.5FB508E0F@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2018 10:03:21 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.599 events: methods for textual studies; DH Budapest 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: <20180208090324.12690.28653@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 599.

A particular focus will be the ways in which literary and historical scholarship will turn increasingly algorithmic in the future as we invent wholly new kinds of questions to ask of our texts because we have wholly new ways to investigate them. The conference will bring together, and put into fruitful dialogue, scholars using traditional literary and historical methods and those exploring and inventing new computational methods, to their mutual benefit. Proposals are invited for 20-minute papers on our topic, which might cover such matters as: * More markup or smarter algorithms?: The future of text analysis. * Is anything just not computable in literary-historical textual studies, and does it matter? * Where are we with Optical Character Recognition? * Are texts Orderly Hierarchies of Content Objects, really? * Can (should?) one person try to learn traditional and digital methods of textual scholarship? * XML but not TEI: Using roll-your-own schemas * New developments in Natural Language Processing * Regularizing historical spelling variation: Is it necessary? How can we do it? * Getting started with digital textual analysis: Reports from unwearied beginners * Is it too easy to get results with computers and too hard to avoid big errors? * Teaching textual analysis using computers * Does it matter if non-computational colleagues don't understand our work? * Showcasing new technologies * Is digital practice changing textual theories? * When is a source text digital transcription good enough? * Teamwork versus lone scholarship: Does working digitally make a difference? * Where does textual analysis meet digital editing? The conference is generously funded by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council, which includes the provision of eight student bursaries, worth 200 GBP each, to help cover the costs of attending to give a paper. Students wanting to apply for bursaries should indicate so in the paper proposal. To apply to give a paper, please send the title of the paper and a description (200-300 words) to Prof Gabriel Egan . If you are a student applying for one of the bursaries, please say so in your proposal and add a couple of sentences describing your circumstances in a way that makes us want to give you the bursary.

Here is a quote from the attached article: "Digital technologies, practices, sciences, goods, and services can be enormously beneficial for human flourishing. AI plays a crucial role in such a wider trend. But we are fragile entities, delicate systems, vulnerable individuals and AI can easily become the elephant in the crystal room, if we do not pay attention to its development and application. Exposed to such extraordinary technologies, human life may easily be distorted, with humans adapting to inflexible technologies, following their predictive suggestions in self-generated bubbles, or being profiled into inescapable and generic categories, for example. We need to ensure that our new smart technologies will be at the service of the human project, not vice versa." Dignity and ethics are pivotal concepts here. It seems to me that these kinds of issues were the ones that F.R. Leavis tried to address long before computers became prominent in people's every day lives in his response to C.P. Snow's famous 1959 'Two cultures' talk. Leavis didn't do a wonderful job back then. He was neither fair nor polite toward Snow, but this should not prevent us from seeing the importance of the underlying issues. We often feel defensive in the humanities. Analyzing and discussing 'the good digital life' is the perfect topic for humanities scholars.

The relevant literature is plentiful and fascinating, from e.g. William Playfair's The Commercial and Political Atlas and Statistical Beviary (1786-1801) and Charles Babbage's Observations on the Notation employed in the Calculus of Functions (1822), through the Gilbreths' Process Charts (1921), to Herman Goldstine's and John von Neumann's Planning and Coding of Problems for an Electronic Computing Instrument (1947) and the practice imposed on programmers until it became obvious that more agile practices were better. There must be in all that richness of talk about as well as examples of process diagramming much of interest for a study of procedural language -- and the ways of thinking to which it attests. I hope this is helpful.

I'm not a knitter, but I often get asked to parse knitting patterns as they are being worked with by my partner, who is a knitter. She trusts that my programming experience (FORTRAN, BASIC, Prolog, HTML etc) will help unravel the code. A recent thread on Twitter points to the long history of knitting (https://twitter.com/laurenclarkrad/status/949311002373312512) and a blog from the V&A describes knitted items from Egypt that date from the 3rd to 5th century AD, 12th century knitting from North Africa and discusses The Cappers Act of 1571 in England that stated that every person above the age of six years (with some exemptions) should wear a knitted cap (https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/the-history-of-hand-knitting). The V&A also has a collection of knitting patterns and there are, to my mind, differences in the language used between those patterns produced in the 1940s (https://www.vam.ac.uk/articles/1940s-knitting-patterns) and those that my partner currently uses.

The workshop is aimed at Universeum members, either individual or institutional, and is open to anyone interested in becoming a Universeum member (for details on membership, see the Universeum website http://universeum.it/members.html ) who wish to develop their skills and knowledge in managing, documenting, interpreting, and disseminating university collections. The workshop is linked to Universeum’s annual conference which will take place from 13-15 June at the University of Glasgow. University collections are diverse and range from scientific instruments to anatomical specimens, from maps to drawings, from manuscripts to plaster casts, to mention only a few. The workshop will make use of The Hunterian’s diverse and rich encyclopaedic collections of over 1.5 million objects, but will also encourage participants to bring to the discussions the issues and ideas that relate to their own collections from their institutions across Europe. The diversity of university collections and the complex associations that they bring, present significant challenges to the professionals and scholars studying, managing, and communicating them to diverse users. The workshop sessions will be co-ordinated by cultural heritage professionals and academics from the University of Glasgow and The Hunterian, as well as by the broader Universeum network working on collections management, provenance, accessioning and de-accessioning, conservation, cultural heritage trafficking, interpretation using analogue and digital media, storytelling, and student engagement. Workshop participants will be actively involved in a variety of hands-on, interdisciplinary, group-based, and discussion sessions, rather than passively listening to traditional lecture-style presentations. The workshop aims at demystifying and deconstructing the various processes that take place once an object enters a university collection. Participants will engage directly with objects and collections at the state-of-the-art recently renovated Hunterian Collection Study Centre at the historic and iconic Kelvin Hall building and engage in a dialogue with curators, museum directors, conservators, collection managers, educators, university lecturers and researchers. The workshop will include a combination of group and individual work. Participants will be expected to work on a short presentation of the key issues that arose from the workshop (during the third day with access to computers and printing facilities provided at Kelvin Hall) to present at session during the main conference, so will be expected to stay in Glasgow for the whole week (11-15 June 2018) during which the workshop and conference will take place. Workshop topics covered Day 1: Building and managing collections: Object-based learning; Accessioning and De-accessioning objects; Objects’ provenance; Trafficking of antiquities and cultural property Day 2 – Communicating and sharing collections: Working internationally and collaboratively in exhibitions; exhibition planning and curating; student engagement and museum education; digital interpretation Day 3 am (half day) Preparation for presentation for main conference based on workshop experience and discussions Who is it for? The workshop is aimed mainly at early career professionals working in university museums, archives, libraries, special collections, PhD students and early career researchers working with/on university collections Registration fee: There is no fee for attending the workshop Other costs: Lunch and coffee/tea during the day will be provided by Universeum.

With this commitment comes the realization that such formal implementation of DH and its siblings (e.g. digital social sciences, digital media, etc.) at a degree-granting level requires articulation of core requirements and competencies, identification and hiring of faculty who are capable of teaching DH in a variety of learning environments (coding, systems, application of methods), evaluating a broad spectrum of student work, and beyond. It also changes the foundational principles of the work of those in our network, as training increasingly involves learning how to teach competencies at the same time as we ourselves develop and maintain them in light of fast-paced advances. The International Digital Humanities Training Network is comprised of organizers of Digital Humanities training institutes and schools worldwide, formalised as the ADHO Training Group. Our gatherings include a member meeting of the International Digital Humanities Training Network / ADHO Training Group as well as mini-conferences devoted to specific topics that are important to our mission. 2018 Focus, and Call for Proposals: at the 2017 mini-conference, attendees reached consensus about forming an ADHO Special Interest Group (SIG) dedicated to DH Pedagogy in all its forms. In support of this, for our 2018 mini-conference and meeting, we continue in inviting proposals for lightning talks on all topics relating to digital pedagogy and training -- and especially this year for those that will lead us to substantial discussion about how a SIG could support instructors, students, practitioners, and administrators. Mini-conference talks will take place in the morning, and the afternoon member meeting will be dedicated to work on a collaborative draft of the SIG proposal. In particular, we welcome proposals with a focus on: Ways in which individual universities, colleges, and other educational institutions are extending DH in the classroom. Implementing DH pedagogical frameworks locally and working across institutions and training institutes to develop and collaborate on materials that can inform ways in which DH offerings and programs are formalized. Assessment techniques in DH curriculum. What types of assessment should occur in digital humanities courses? And, significantly, how might these assessment practices challenge existing university or community-based outcomes? We particularly desire talks that include involvement of students who have been assessed. DH training in an international context-how do we articulate/coordinate/collaborate across international boundaries? What can we learn from our differences? Developing a multilingual lexicon for teaching DH. Discussion of pedagogical materials, pre-circulated for critique and consideration. We are particularly interested in the submission of specific syllabi, tutorials, exercises, learning outcomes, assessment and rubrics that attendees might complete during the workgroup portion of the mini-conference. Any topics that might further inform our discussion about DH training. Please submit proposals of 1-2 pages via this form: https://goo.gl/forms/7m3GXUgjfk3TlRxv1 by 15 March 2018. Contact Ray Siemens (siemens@uvic.ca), Diane Jakacki (diane.jakacki@bucknell.edu), and Katie Faull (faull@bucknell.edu) with any questions. ** Please note that all participants and attendees will need to be registered for DH2018. -- Diane Jakacki, Ph.D. Digital Scholarship Coordinator Faculty Teaching Associate in Comparative Humanities Bucknell University diane.jakacki@bucknell.edu @DianeJakacki --[6]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 04:45:25 +0000 From: Tully Barnett Subject: CFP for Digital Humanities Australasia 2018 | Adelaide, South Australia | October 2- 5 2018 The Australasian Association for Digital Humanities (aaDH) is pleased to announce its fourth conference, to be held at the University of South Australia in Adelaide on 2-5 October 2018. The aim of DHA 2018 is to advance and critically assess the uses of digital technologies in humanities research and the communication of its outcomes. The conference offers a supportive, interdisciplinary environment to explore the challenges and opportunities of working with digital tools and techniques. The conference will explore how the Digital Humanities enhance our ability to make connections between disciplines, sectors, countries, ways of thinking, people and possibilities. Sessions will focus on praxis and innovation across the international scene, with emphasis on local and regional communities of practice in Australasia and the Pacific. Together, delegates will explore how academics can use data and digital tools to tackle real world challenges in partnership with collecting organisations, industry, government and communities. Keynotes, papers and workshops will investigate the living relationship between teaching, research, curation, creation, production, exhibition and distribution, exploring the link between digital humanities, creative industries and digital disruption more broadly. Conference dialogue will explore new problems in the worlds of education, employment, research and development, identifying new ideas, tools and methods. Workshops will unpack new approaches to problem solving and new ways of linking infrastructure, collections, users and spaces. We will also consider proposals that deal with Humanities education (in formal and informal settings) that employs digital, collaborative, project-based learning, including learning that may operate at the intersection of the academy, the community and GLAM sectors. Specific pedagogic tools considered may include: virtual and augmented reality; immersive and interactive experiences and games; open platforms, social media, networks; and data analytics. The conference is supported by the Division of Education, Arts and Social Sciences at the University of South Australia, eRSA, AusStage and Flinders University. Important Information & dates Calls for proposals: Open from Monday 26 February to Monday 9 April 2018 Notification of Acceptance: Friday 18 May 2018 Early bird registration Closes: 31 July 2018 Conference Themes All sessions will explore the central theme of "Making Connections". This could include connections in any combination between data, tools, people and their stories, systems, platforms, organisations, sectors, environments, places, and approaches to working, teaching and research. Submissions may feature projects or case studies ranging from research and teaching to creative practice, community outreach and problem solving. Collaborative and multi-partner submissions are particularly welcomed in all categories. Proposals The following proposal types are invited. 1. Lightning talks: Lightning talks will be allocated 10 minutes (plus 5 minutes for discussion) and are suitable for describing work-in-progress and reporting on work in the early stage of development. 2. Papers: Papers will be allocated 20 minutes (plus 10 minutes for discussion) and are intended for presenting substantial unpublished research, new digital resources or addressing broader questions of interest to digital humanists. 3. Birds of a Feather sessions: These collaborative, informal and participatory sessions will be allocated 60 minutes to be used as participants decide, ensuring that time is allocated for questions and discussion. 4. Workshops: Hands-on sessions exploring the latest digital humanities tools, techniques and resources. All workshops will be run twice to maximise participation. Workshops will range from software carpentry and visualisation techniques to app development and hackathons. Workshops will be allocated 90 minutes. 5. Posters: A poster competition will be run during the conference, with an award for the entry which demonstrates most convincingly how the Digital Humanities can enhance collaborative problem solving by "Making Connections". Abstracts of no more than 500 words, together with a biography of no more than 100 words, should be submitted to the Program Committee by Monday 9 April 2018. All proposals will be fully refereed.

Yet based on the knowledge that springs to my mind today, here are a few suggestions. To make a historical reverence, let’s not forget Piaget and his cognitive theory of child development, including the acquisition of reading (NB! ‘acquisition’ is an interesting and yet loaded conceptual metaphor that evaded and flourishes in cognitive literature. Its implication that we construct reading in steps and cycles comes into an interesting dialogue with Chomsky’s pre-wiredness of the brain. Oh well, and Drucker’s capta vs. data is nothing more than a redressed constructionist view of reading the world). Pappert’s construals might be a next step to take in revision of Piaget’s developmental views. You might be interested to look into cognitive theories model by model as the following ones: · Construction–Integration (Kintsch & Van Dijk, 1978) · Causal Network (Trabasso, van den Broek, & Suh, 1989) · Structure Building (Gernsbacher, 1990) · Resonance (Albrecht & O’Brien, 1993) · Constructionist (Graesser, Singer, & Trabasso,1994) · Event-Indexing (Zwaan, Langston, & Graesser, 1995) · Landscape (Tzeng, van den Broek, Kendeou, & Lee, 2005; van den Broek, Young, Tzeng, & Linderholm,1999) To step outside the ‘incestuously’ closely knitted narratives from within cognitive disciplines, which are all full of recycling the same technical jargon, I’d recommend Nicolas Dames ‘The Physiology of the Novel’ (2007). A lighter read that comfortably moves in and out various frameworks is Lisa Zunshine’s ‘Why We Read Fiction: Theory of Mind and Novel’ (2006), and her not so light edition of ‘The Oxford Handbook of Cognitive Literary Studies’ (2015).

The versions of the text are transcribed already from the manuscripts (Latin characters). My questions to the DH community is: 1. Do you know any online projects/websites that already did that? We would like to learn from the experience of others. 2. Do you know any tools (code, libraries) that find the differences (and maybe even present them)? 3. We also want a library that will suggest, as tricky as it may sound, a canonical text bases on the various versions. Any project or tools for this? If someone is interested to see the texts themselves and the context, go to this page http://www.panditproject.org/entity/88630/work , (it represents an Indic work) scroll down and click "Show extracts". Now, each group (like the first one "Colophon phrase") has texts from different manuscripts. We want to pragmatically find the differences within the group and display them somehow.

Extended Paper Submission Deadline: Midnight FRIDAY16th FEBRUARY _Call for Papers_ The purpose of the WEPIR 2018 workshop is to bring together researchers from different backgrounds, interested in advancing the evaluation of personalisation in information retrieval. The workshop focus is on the development of a common understanding of the challenges, requirements and practical limitations of meaningful evaluation of personalisation in information retrieval. The planned outcome of the workshop is the proposal of methodologies to support evaluation of personalised information retrieval from both the perspectives of the user experience in interactive search settings, and of user models for personalised information retrieval and their algorithmic incorporation in the search process. Since the focus of the workshop is primarily on exchange of ideas and development of new research activities, only short paper contributions will be sought in the form of 2 to 4 page papers in the standard ACM conference format. Topics for contributions include but not be limited to: Task design for evaluation of personalised information retrieval Test collections for personalised information retrieval Evaluation metrics for peronsalised information retrieval Protocols for evaluation of interactive personalised information retrieval User modeling for personalised information retrieval Search algorithms for personalised information retrievaL Submitted contributions will be selected for inclusion in the workshop on the basis of reviews by the programme committee Workshop format The topic of evaluation of the incorporation of personalisation within search applications and algorithms and their impact on user engagement and experience of search is currently underexplored within the information retrieval community. This is particularly the case from the perspective of comparative evaluation of interactive and algorithmic elements of personalised search systems, and the representation and exploitation of user models. To reflect this, the workshop will focus on establishing and exploring the principles working towards the outcome of a proposed framework. The workshop will have the following elements: Invited talks: focusing on user-centered interactive issues, and on evaluation of the algorithmic component of search. Presentations of papers submitted in response to an open call for research and position papers. Papers will be presented as short oral and poster format. The number of oral presentations will be limited to allow for the maximum of time for interactive activities, with other papers being presented as posters. Working groups focusing on relevant topics for the evaluation of personalised information retrieval, including experimental protocols, test collection development, evaluation metrics. Consolidation session: integration of the activities of the working groups, and proposal of agreed framework or frameworks for the evaluation of personalised information retrieval Paper Submissions The workshop is accepting short papers from 2 to 4 pages (including references) describing approaches or ideas/challenges on the topics of the workshop. Submissions do not need to be anonymized. Submissions should be in ACM Standard SIGCONF format. LaTeX and Word templates are available at (http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings­-template). Papers should be submitted in pdf format through the EasyChair system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wepir2018) no later than midnight Sunday 11th of February, 2018 (AoE). Submissions will be reviewed by members of the workshop program committee. Accepted papers will be included in the extended CHIIR 2018 Proceedings and will be available via the ACM Digital Library. In addition, the WEPIR workshop proceedings will be indexed with CEUR. Authors of select papers may be invited to contribute to a journal publication which describes the outcomes of the workshop.

We have been using it in the KITAB project (led by Sarah Savant, http://kitab-project.org/) to identify shared passages in our Arabic corpus.

We would like to learn from the experience of others. I would suggest to have a look at the Franzini's Catalogue of Digital Editions : among the advanced search options, you can find info about textual variance (which editions deal with it). 2. Do you know any tools (code, libraries) that find the differences (and maybe even present them)? Already two years ago, we organized a workshop on automatic collation (which sounds like what you need); all info here . You can have a look at units 2, 3 and 4, to have an idea of what it is about.

In-Reply-To: <20180212085237.D5EAC8E7E@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, I think that an answer might come from the reflection around 'ethics of collaborative working'. It is clear, in fact, that no one of us can do and know everything and, thus, 'working in team' in a very broad fashion is an experience which everyone of us can make on a daily basis, even in a context of work in apparent loneliness, like it happens in conducting research. What does 'working in team' means? Even when we write an email or ask for an information in a library we are operating in the context of an interaction, implying mutual expectations, rights and duties. In the light of this, I think it might be useful to reflect not only on how we consider and value others in terms of 'expectations-from-them', but also on what others have the right to expect from us, for the sake of a good surpassing our personal interests and contingencies. Thank you for your attention!

Gooding quotes it without reference in the context of a discussion on 'the analogy of nature', i.e. the rarely spoken but near universally assumed idea that all phenomena of the natural world are analogically related. I know Amos Oz's recent novel, The Same Sea (2001/1999), and know about the popular song of the same title. But what I most want to find is the origin (if there is one) or examples of the phrase in context, esp in a philosophical context, when used as a metaphor for analogical relation. Many thanks.

The 9th ESU will, in fact, take place at Leipzig from the 17th to the 27th of July 2018. The intensive programme will consist of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session, teaser sessions and a panel discussion. Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. As in former years we will be able to offer a whole range of scholarships to participants of the Summer University. 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 now be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available.

A particular focus will be the ways in which literary and historical scholarship will turn increasingly algorithmic in the future as we invent wholly new kinds of questions to ask of our texts because we have wholly new ways to investigate them. The conference will bring together, and put into fruitful dialogue, scholars using traditional literary and historical methods and those exploring and inventing new computational methods, to their mutual benefit. Confirmed plenary speakers include: Hugh Craig (Newcastle University, Australia) on a topic to be confirmed Willard McCarty (King's College London) on "What happens when we intervene?" Gary Taylor (Florida State University) on "Invisible writers: Finding 'anonymous' in the digital archives" Proposals are invited for 20-minute papers on our topic, which might cover such matters as: * More markup or smarter algorithms?: The future of text analysis. * Is anything just not computable in literary-historical textual studies, and does it matter? * Where are we with Optical Character Recognition? * Are texts Orderly Hierarchies of Content Objects, really? * Can (should?) one person try to learn traditional and digital methods of textual scholarship? * XML but not TEI: Using roll-your-own schemas * New developments in Natural Language Processing * Regularizing historical spelling variation: Is it necessary? How can we do it? * Getting started with digital textual analysis: Reports from unwearied beginners * Is it too easy to get results with computers and too hard to avoid big errors? * Teaching textual analysis using computers * Does it matter if non-computational colleagues don't understand our work? * Showcasing new technologies * Is digital practice changing textual theories? * When is a source text digital transcription good enough? * Teamwork versus lone scholarship: Does working digitally make a difference? * Where does textual analysis meet digital editing? The conference is generously funded by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council, which includes the provision of eight student bursaries, worth 200 GBP each, to help cover the costs of attending to give a paper. Students wanting to apply for bursaries should indicate so in the paper proposal. To apply to give a paper, please send the title of the paper and a description (200-300 words) to Prof Gabriel Egan . If you are a student applying for one of the bursaries, please say so in your proposal and add a couple of sentences describing your circumstances in a way that makes us want to give you the bursary.

Experiences and Expectations- 21 February 2018 In-Reply-To: Sydney Digital Humanities Research Group Seminar How to Teach Digital Humanities? Experiences and Expectations Presenter: Gerhard Lauer, University of Basel Since large amounts of texts and objects became just a keystroke away and tools to explore data are available for non-computer scientists, the use of computers transforms the humanities as they transform other parts of society as well. The integration, however, of computer-based methods and research methodologies into the curricula of scholarly areas is not that simple. Statistics and formal models are not commonly part of the humanities. Sceptics about machine based research are widely shared in the humanities. While in linguistics or in archaeology a tradition of more scientific like methods are part of the disciplines many humanistic disciplines have only a small tradition of formal methods. In this talk I will discuss the systematic problems of teaching Digital Humanities as well as the many random factors of establishing new study programmes in the humanities. Gerhard Lauer, Professor of Digital Humanities at the University of Basel, recently published Humboldt’s writing on education (2017) and together with Nicolaas Rupke a volume on the natural historian Johann Friedrich Blumenbach (2018). He is associate editor of the Journal The Scientific Study of Literature and one of the founding editors of Journal of Literary Theory. Professor Lauer researches and publishes on Jewish and Yiddish literary history, cognitive literary studies and digital humanities. His most recent book (in press) is about reading in the digital age.

Gavin’s account and methodological discussion of his analysis of a corpus of NHS patient feedback notably promises to showcase the relevance of corpus linguistic methods to policy makers and practitioners (see abstract below). Please email clyde.ancarno@kcl.ac.uk if you would like to attend. For those of you interested, we will head towards a nearby venue to continue the discussions after Gavin’s talk. We look forward to seeing you there. With our best wishes, Clyde and Chris The lovely, the rude and the utterly shambolic: Exploring patient experiences in a corpus of NHS feedback Speaker: Dr Gavin Brookes (University of Nottingham) Date and Time: 28th of March (5.00-6.30pm) Room: LG11 (Waterloo Bridge Wing – entrance B on the map at the bottom of this link) Abstract: The National Health Service gathers a great deal of user feedback on its services from patients. Much of this exists in “free text” format and so represents a rich dataset. However, the amount of text generated in the thousands of feedback forms patients fill in each year makes it unfeasible to undertake a close qualitative analysis of all of it. This talk will present findings from a recent ESRC-funded project which used corpus linguistic techniques to study a 29 million-word collection of such patient feedback. The aim of the project was to help the NHS to better understand and interpret the results of its feedback so that it can maintain and improve service standards in the future. Some of the issues considered in this talk include: identifying key areas of positive and negative feedback, distinguishing those concerns that are genuinely ‘urgent’ from those that are merely frequent, comparing how different health care organisations and staff members are evaluated, and exploring how feedback differs according to patients’ demographic backgrounds. By answering these and other questions, this talk will demonstrate the strengths and pitfalls of applying corpus linguistic methods to the analysis of this type of large body of feedback data, which include navigating the challenge of generating findings that are academically robust but also of practical, applied value to health care stakeholders. _______________________________________ Dr Clyde Ancarno | Lecturer in Applied Linguistics; Deputy Programme Director MA in TESOL King's College London | School of Education, Communication & Society The Centre for Language, Discourse & Communication | Room 2/10 – Waterloo Bridge Wing E: clyde.ancarno@kcl.ac.uk | T: +44 (0)20 7848 3712 | Twitter: @clydeancarno My profile: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/sspp/departments/education/people/academic/Ancarnoclyde.aspx Forthcoming (to be published in Corpora): Nolte, Ancarno and Jones.

The Case of Goethe’s Faust" Monday, March 26th: Gerrit Brüning – Goethe University of Frankfurt In his lecture, Gerrit Brüning introduces the key concepts and features of the Faust edition, which is published in an advanced beta stage (beta.faustedition.net), and nearing completion. The genesis of Goethe’s Faust tragedy spans a period of about 60 years. Individual stages of its conceptual and textual history have survived in hundreds of manuscripts with more than 2000 written pages. The Faust edition gives access to this material, enabling the user to find all witnesses for every single passage of the work and to explore images and transcriptions in an intuitive way. Started in 2009, the project played an important role in the development of genetic or documentary TEI XML encoding. Gerrit Brüning is a postdoctoral researcher at Goethe University of Frankfurt. He received his PhD in German Studies and has been affiliated to the Faust edition from its beginnings in 2009. Currently he is working on a new critically established text of Goethe’s Faust II, which will appear in print this autumn. ----- About the Lecture Series The series is an initiative of the platform{DH} at the University of Antwerp. The objective of the series is to sketch the evolving landscape of digital humanities. We found that the diversity of the field is perhaps best illustrated through concrete examples from practitioners. We invite speakers from a variety of disciplines, all united by the fact that they undertake exceptional and interesting research projects. Practical information The lecture takes place on Monday the 26th of March from 16h00 to 17h00 in room R.231 at the city campus. Attendance is free and open to all, but please register in advance.

In-Reply-To: <20180213081124.467108DC3@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear Willard, I have found a contribution in which the expression appears. In the paragraph 'Mots en Liberte' aeriens: flights and writings' in 'Poetics of Dance: Body, Image, and Space in the Historical Avant-Gardes' by Gabriele Brandstetter (2015), there is a quotation by Sergei Eisenstein associating the concept of 'the same sea' to a dancer: 'So, using analogies, we can penetrate the most expressive part of reality and simultaneously render matter and will in their most intensive and expansive action...For example, the sea dancing, with its zigzag movements and sparkling contrasts of silver and emerald, within my plastic sensibility evokes the distant vision of a dancer covered in sparkling sequins in her world of light, noise, and sound. Therefore: sea=dancer. ....the plastic expression of the same sea, which through real analogy has evoked a dancer for me, by a process of apparent analogy evokes for me a large bunch of flowers'. The book is available on Google Books. I hope this may be of interest. As soon as I discover anything else, I will let you know.

Call for Papers The advent and ubiquity of digital media technologies precipitate a profound transformation of the spheres of knowledge and circuits of culture. Simultaneously, the background operation of digital systems in routines of daily life increasingly obscures the materiality and meaning of technologically induced change. Computational architectures of algorithmic governance prevail across a vast and differentiated range of institutional settings and organizational practices. Car assembly plants, warehousing, shipping ports, sensor cities, agriculture, government agencies, university campuses. These are just some of the infrastructural sites overseen by software operations designed to extract value, coordinate practices and manage populations in real-time. While Silicon Valley ideology prevails over the design and production of the artefacts, practices and institutions that mark digital cultures, the architectures and infrastructures of its operations are continually rebuilt, hacked, broken and maintained within a proliferation of sites across the globe. To analytically grasp the emerging transformations requires media and cultural studies to inquire into the epochal changes taking place with the proliferation of digital media technologies. While in many ways the digital turn has long been in process, its cultural features and effects are far from even or comprehensively known. Research needs to attend to the infrastructural and environmental registrations of the digital. Critical historiographies attend to the world-making capacities of digital cultures, situating the massive diversity of practices within specific technical systems, geocultural dynamics and geopolitical forces. At the same time the contemporaneity of digital cultures invites new methods that draw on digital media technologies as tools, and, more importantly, that engage the intersection between media technologies, cultural practices and institutional settings. New organizational forms in digital economies, new forms of association and sociality, and new subjectivizations generated from changing human-machine configurations are among the primary manifestations of the digital that challenge disciplinary capacities in terms of method. The empirics of the digital, in other words, signals a transversality at the level of disciplinarity, methods and knowledge production. This conference brings together research concerned with studying digital cultures and the ways that digital media technologies transform contemporary culture, society and economy. The hosts specifically encourage approaches to digital cultures emerging from media and cultural theory, along with transnational currents of communications, science and technology studies. We also explicitly invite researchers from digital humanities, digital anthropology, digital sociology, gender studies, postcolonial studies, urban studies, architecture, organization studies, environmental studies, geography and computer science to engage in this endeavor to develop a critical humanities and cultural studies alert to the operations, materialities and politics of digital cultures. Invited speakers include: * Simon Denny, Artist, Berlin/Auckland * Jennifer Gabrys, Goldsmiths, University of London * Orit Halpern, Concordia University * Nanna Heidenreich, Internationale Filmschule Köln * Kara Keeling, University of Southern California * Felix Stalder, Zurich University of the Arts * Ravi Sundaram, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS), Delhi With more coming soon, including details on spotlight sessions.

His words in 1989, on the eve of the Madrid conference were "The Arabs are Arabs and the sea is the same sea". A Hebrew pearl that I am much happier to share was brought to our attention by Shai Huber, a literature graduate and teacher. It is a poem by T. Carmi from his 1958 collection, The Last sea, and with a heavy heart I translate it below. It is later than Bishop but unlike Shamir, Bishop and Gooding it is not an essentialist take on the Heraklitean river of change over time but a rather different angle: *Listening* It is hard for two shells to hold a true conversation each one listens to her own sea That it is the same sea, only the pearl hunter or the antiquity dealer can ascertain. קֶשֶׁב ט. כרמי קָשֶׁה לִשְׁתֵּי קֻנְכִיּוֹת לְשׂוֹחֵחַ שִׂיחָה-שֶׁל-מַמָּשׁ כָּל אַחַת מַטָּה אֹזֶן לַיָּם שֶׁלָה. רַק שׁוֹלֵה-הַפְּנִינִים אוֹ סוֹחֵר-הָעַתִּיקוֹת יָכוֹל לִקְבּוֹע בְּלִי חֲשָׁשׁ: אוֹתוֹ יָם Metaphors of sea and rivers also bring to mind Ecclesiastes 1.7, but this is taking us too far from your question.

The sort of philosophical discussion that we see here in Humanist might be one element. Another might be the already widespread use of automated techniques in editing. Is image recognition part of AI? In any case, I hope that members of Humanist will spread the word and that there might be some arts and humanities applicants.

Subject: A call for help with PhD data collection Dear all, I am half way through my PhD in Music and Web Science at the University of Southampton, and I am looking at collecting data on music similarity judgements through two studies. The first will be through a listening study, which is available at https://musicsimilarity.soton.ac.uk/. If you have 10 minutes could you participate in the study, it purely requires you to rank extracts against a seed song. The second half of my study is an interview-based listening study. This takes a little longer, closer to 50 minutes. If you are happy to participate in this study could you either email me alkm1g12@soton.ac.uk, or leave an email address at the end of the first study. This will require giving a value for similarity and then explaining how you made these judgements. Thank you so much in advance for your help in my thesis!

The SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH) have been a forum for researchers who develop new technologies for improved information access to data from the broadly understood humanities and social sciences. The ACL Workshops on Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL) have focussed on applications of NLP to a wide variety of literary data. The first joint workshop (LaTeCH-CLfL 2017) brought together people from both communities. We count on this workshop to broaden the scope of our work even further, and to encourage new common research initiatives. A highlight of the workshop will be Ted Underwood's invited talk. Topics and Content In the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Heritage communities, there is increasing interest in and demand for NLP methods for semantic annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of both primary and secondary data; this is even true of primarily non-textual collections, given that text is also the pervasive medium for metadata. Such applications pose new challenges for NLP research, such as noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, multilingual parts within one document, lack of digital resources, or resource-intensive approaches that call for (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or, as a last resort, intense manual effort (e.g., annotation). Literary texts bring their own problems, because navigating this form of creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking tools. Examples of advanced tasks include the study of literature of a certain period or sub-genre, recognition of certain literary devices, or quantitative analysis of poetry. More generally, there is a growing interest in computational models whose results can be interpreted in meaningful ways. A common forum is mutually beneficial to NLP experts, data specialists, digital humanities researchers, and those who study literature. The second edition of the joint workshop has something for everyone in all such communities. We invite contributions on these, and closely related, topics: -- adapting NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and to the humanities including literature; -- fully- or semi-automatic creation of semantic resources; -- automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data; -- building and analyzing social networks of literary characters; -- complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces; -- dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language; -- discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature; -- emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature; -- generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry; -- identification and analysis of literary genres; -- linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains; -- modelling dialogue literary style for generation; -- modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; -- profiling and authorship attribution; -- research infrastructure and standardisation efforts in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; -- searching for scientific and/or scholarly literature. Information for Authors We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers, we will consider short papers and system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers. Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references. A short paper / demo can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, with one (1) additional page of references. A position paper -- clearly marked as such -- should not exceed six (6) pages including references. All submissions are to use the ACL stylesheets (either .sty and .bst or .dot).

It'll only take you a few minutes. We'd greatly appreciate your contribution as we need a high number of responses from the DH community. Digital Humanities Journals Survey - https://goo.gl/FJs63C You'll be presented with a list of journals and asked to rate each journals' overall contribution to the Digital Humanities field on a 7-point Likert-type scale. The main goal of this survey is to develop an expert survey based journal ranking for the Digital Humanities field. This ranking would benefit scholars and practitioners in this field by providing them with target outlets for their work; by identifying streams of research; by allowing to showcase accomplishments to tenure and promotion committees; by consolidating the communication ecosystem; by helping librarians to make selection decisions and apply available funds.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2018 09:39:45 -0500 From: Darrell Meadows Subject: Mellon Foundation, NHPRC Announce Digital Publication Grant Winners PRESS RELEASE Mellon Foundation, NHPRC Announce Digital Publication Grant Winners Recipients to Explore New and Sustainable Ways to Publish Primary Materials Critical to Research and Scholarship. NEW YORK, NY, February 14, 2018 — The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) today announced the winners of eight planning grants to build a sustainable system for the digital publication and discovery of historical records. The Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives Program, first announced as a partnership between the Mellon Foundation and the NHPRC in 2017, will support efforts to make historical records readily accessible to scholars, students, and the American people. Winners include: Bucknell University REED London: Creating Collaborative Environments for Editorial Publication Kentucky Historical Society Nineteenth Century Digital Cooperative Massachusetts Historical Society A 21st-Century Digital Platform for 19th-Century Analog Content Stanford University Modern African American Freedom Struggle Digital Publishing Cooperative Texas A&M University ARCScholar: A Digital Publishing Cooperative University of California Santa Cruz Scholarship in 3D Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative University of Virginia University of Virginia Digital Publishing Cooperative: Developing Infrastructures for the Creation, Publication, and Discovery of Digital Scholarly Editions and Projects Wheaton College Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative for Historical Accounts (DEPCHA) To see the full press release, visit: https://mellon.org/resources/news/articles/mellon-foundation-nhprc-announce-digital-publication-grant-winners/ OR https://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/nr18-29 For a description of each team, visit: https://mellon.org/resources/news/articles/digital-publicaton-grant-winners/ Each of the eight project teams receiving funding will design a cooperative infrastructure for publication, including digital repositories and discovery tools. Each cooperative will identify and integrate shared standards, practices, and policies so that the resulting infrastructure fully exploits the synergies among editions and enables them to interact. Project teams also will collaboratively explore ways to operate as a federated system: to build broader connections at the level of technical infrastructure, shared semantics, and cooperative policies. During the proposed planning year, project teams will discuss policies concerning rights and access, common use of linked open data standards, a possible system of shared governance, and a means of sustaining the work. "Assembling primary source evidence in critical scholarly editions is one of the humanities’ most important contributions to our collective understanding of the world and its people," said Donald Waters, senior program officer at the Mellon Foundation. "Since the early 1990s, scholars have used the digital medium to present these editions to the public, especially when the relevant evidence is in various formats, including texts, maps, audio, and still and moving images. With support from the eight grants in the Mellon-NHPRC Digital Edition Publishing Cooperatives Program, scholars will be collaborating to find common platforms, tools, procedures, and other economical means to be even more effective in creating and publishing critical editions of vital primary source evidence." Archivist of the United States David S. Ferriero said, "At the National Archives, our very mission is to make records accessible. We are honored to be part of this project and delighted to join with the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to help make our nation's historical records more widely available to anyone, anywhere, and at no cost. These cooperatives will explore technologies to revolutionize online historical research." This is the first of a two-stage process for planning and implementation. During the one-year planning stage, each team will develop a proposal for implementing a Digital Edition Publishing Cooperative. At a second stage, after reviewing the submitted proposals in 2019, the Mellon Foundation and NHPRC anticipate awarding three implementation grants between $350,000 and $500,000, each for up to three years, for a total of up to $1.25 million.

Thierry and Valérie Schafer (ed.) From the appearance of the word “sabotage” in France at the end of the nineteenth century - and its theorization notably by Emile Pouget (Albertelli, 2016) - through the destruction of communications infrastructures in times of war, to the spate of recent worldwide cyber attacks, infrastructure networks always possess a large number of vulnerabilities despite their diversity (information and communications networks, energy, banking, transport, engineering structures...). They may become prime targets for what they represent or because of the organizations that they support. Are networks the subject of a particular technophobia, of a misotechnie (Jarrige, 2016)? Do they have specific or shared vulnerabilities (Baran, 1964; Abramovici and Bradley, 2009)? How are these vulnerabilities negotiated, evaluated and managed? How and why do networks become targets in conflicts? (Kempf, 2014; Pinsolle, 2015). Have the targets, issues, objectives and actors (Pasquinelli, 2010) fundamentally changed over time and are they different over space and between scales? This special issue aims to explore projects and acts of destruction, subversion and sabotage of infrastructure networks in an interdisciplinary approach, and to analyse past and current vulnerabilities and attempts to overcome these. Submissions Please submit proposals (in French or English) for papers to both benjaminthierry@gmail.com valerieschafer@wanadoo.fr Initial proposals should be one page long, outlining the specific focus and approach of the paper and providing a short bibliography. Selected authors will then be invited to submit a full paper which will undergo full peer review before acceptance for publication.

We seek individuals who will develop and drive an interdisciplinary research program at the intersection of the humanities and engineering and who are dedicated to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The holder of this Chair must be a specialist in the history of science and technology of the modern period (19th and 20th centuries), including the recent past, who studies the evolution of science and technical knowledge in connection with major social, economic and/or political changes. The holder of this position will carry out her or his research on the epistemology of exact sciences and life sciences, on scientific knowledge, and also on know-how and technical objects (on their conception, their fabrication and their different uses), aiming to understand the transmission and the worldwide circulation of this knowledge and these objects, highlighting in the process the role of experts together with the more general implication of citizens in the dissemination and circulation of such scientific knowledge. The holder of this position will also have as a mission to promote the collection of the Museum of Physics of UNIL (http://museephysique.epfl.ch). Experience in promoting knowledge outside the academic world will be an asset. EPFL, with its main campus located in Lausanne, Switzerland, is a dynamically growing and well-funded institution fostering excellence and diversity. EPFL offers internationally competitive salaries, start-up resources, and research infrastructure. The EPFL environment is multi-lingual and multi-cultural, with English generally serving as a common interface. Applications should include a cover letter with a statement of motivation, a curriculum vitae including a list of publications and patents, concise and separate statements of research and teaching interests, together with the names and addresses of at least three potential references for junior and six for senior positions. Applications must be uploaded in PDF format to the recruitment web site: https://facultyrecruiting.epfl.ch/position/7962624 Formal evaluation of candidates will begin on March 19, 2018 and will continue until the position is filled.

The connection between viewing media as disease and refusing engagement is cast in a most dichotomous light.

We have three great Digital Humanities events at Loyola hosted by the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities and our university partners this week. Hope you can join us! Talk: Textual Communities and the Canterbury Tales with Peter Robinson Monday, February 19, 6:00pm Mundelein Hall, Room 515 This talk by Peter Robinson will introduce the new Textual Communities system for online collaborative editing, and illustrate its use with examples from the Canterbury Tales Project. Textual Communities is now in pre-release "sandbox" mode, and you are invited to try out the new system. The talk will discuss what earlier stages of the Canterbury Tales Project were able to discover using earlier systems, and how this new system might enable this project (and others) to achieve more. Peter Robinson is Bateman Professor of English at the University of Saskatchewan. He is active in the creation of tools for scholarly editing, the development of standards for digital resources, formerly as a member of the Text Encoding Initiative and as leader of the EU funded MASTER project, and has published on Chaucer, scholarly editing, and the digital humanities.

Call for papers: http://sti2018.cwts.nl Venue: CWTS Leiden, The Netherlands https://www.cwts.nl Conference dates: 12-14 September 2018 Submission typology: short papers, abstracts of 3000 words maximum, containing a comprehensive description of a completed study Submission deadline: 1 April 2018 Notification of acceptance: 15 June 2018 Special track call for papers: Bibliometric methods offer a unique perspective that can be employed to study the social and intellectual structure of scientific disciplines, their historical development and the relations between disciplines or, more generally, knowledge areas. There is a long tradition of the use of bibliometric methods in the sociology of science (Crane, 1972; Cole, 1983, see also Gläser & Laudel, 2001) and a slowly emerging interest in bibliometrics in computational or algorithmic historiography (Garfield, Pudovkin & Istomin, 2003). Moreover, the field of science mapping (e.g. Leydesdorff & Rafols, 2009, Börner, 2010) has strong methodological techniques to offer to sociological and historical questions. The emergence of new data sources, often as part of digital humanities initiatives, is introducing new generations of scholars, especially from the humanities and social sciences, to bibliometric methods. We aim to bring together scholars that use bibliometric data sources and methods in qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method research, to rekindle the study of the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities from a sociological and/or historical perspective. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * the social and intellectual structure of disciplines or knowledge areas * the bibliometrics-driven history ("computational/algorithmic historiography”) of disciplines or knowledge areas in any period of time * cultural, social, informational and intellectual practices within disciplines or knowledge areas * knowledge exchanges: interdisciplinary and flows of ideas and persons, or lack thereof * processes of knowledge accumulation, also in comparison and over time We encourage submissions from scholars in areas such as (non-exhaustive list): bibliometrics and scientometrics, digital humanities, computer science, sociology and computational social sciences, anthropology and ethnography, history (of all sciences, including HSS). Both empirical and theoretical or conceptual work is encouraged. A selection of substantially expanded submissions might be proposed for a special issue of Scientometrics.

In reference to Professor Lachance’s comment on “something in the disposition of the argument put forward by Nicholas Dames?” Is it not ironic that the most basic of human reasoning—the use of bipolar opposition—is also used initially for media criticism and is also considered the lowest form of humans making sense of anything? Lachance makes an astute observation and connection, which therefore requires further discussion. It is a fact that we (scholars of numerous disciplines) are finding our different paths through one of the fastest growing revolutions—the communication revolution via digital media/humanities. We are moving forward a basic tenet, that digital humanities does require thoughtful and hearty discussions or debates. I was surprised (to be honest continually) to read that new digital technology or anything in digital humanities be treated like a disease. Accordingly, one should therefore dismiss some of the most favored media theories regarding media effects. There are far too many brilliant articles and texts, many relying on the social construction of reality theory (yes, about digital media and technology), that have put forth some of the most enlightening research that leaves plenty of room to discuss digital mediated audience effects, which actually has very little to do with literary criticism, other than to use it as an introduction as to why one must cross into the social sciences and leave the rhetoric behind in the introduction. Since I study the effects of mediated communication about disease and its connection to US public health policy, I found this shared insight by Lachance to be an interesting warning. That is: Move on scholars we’ve plenty of work to do in many fields! Lit-crit at its most basic human interaction really does attempt to shut down further digital debate, which is just silly. Thank you Professor Lachance for making this observation. Debra E.

I hope the contents of the interview are of interest! Thank you for your attention, kind regards.

In the opening remarks for the 14th colloquium on the "application of electronic data processing in the humanities" (http://www.tustep.uni-tuebingen.de/kolloq.html) held on this day, TUSTEP = "Tübingen System of Text Processing programs" has been announced as the official name for the programs which have been developed since 1966 at the Computing Center of Tübingen University and used by many projects presented in these colloquia and beyond. Designed in cooperation with many humanities projects, TUSTEP (actual version: 2017) is constantly being improved and upgraded, since 2003 with financial support from academic partner institutions. Since June 2011, TUSTEP (and TXSTEP, the XML based interface for TUSTEP) is open source software under the revised BSD license. For many humanities projects, especially in the German-speaking part of the world, TUSTEP is still an indispensable tool, as may be seen at the 25th annual meeting of the International TUSTEP user group ITUG (http://www.itug.de) held on 3.-6. October 2018 in Potsdam/Germany. A (incomplete) bibliography of critical editions, bibliographies, indexes, dictionaries, ... which have been prepared with TUSTEP is avaliable at www.tustep.uni-tuebingen.de.

Proposals for individual papers or panels of three or four papers should be submitted from 1st December until the 10th of March 2018. They must include the title of the paper (or the theme of the panel), name and affiliation of the author(s), an abstract of no more than 350 words and a short CV of up to five lines. Proposals and inquiries about practical matters may be sent to  gvlahakis@yahoo.com and konstantinos.tampakis@gmail.com The international scientific committee will review the submissions and notice of acceptance will be sent until 20th of March. Prof. Pauline Lescar will be the chair of the Local Organizing Committee and member of the Scientific Committee.

Thank you Professor > Lachance for making this observation. However I failed perhaps in conveying a nuanced view. I thought Dames was doing Richards an injustice by ascribing to him the disease discourse that he disparages in some contemporary reactions to digital media. I am very much of the view that the tools of literary criticism are needed to deconstruct some unnecessary polarizations. Critique of rhetoric need not result in abandonment of all our metaphors and formulations. It sharpens, to speak metaphorically for an instant. We can approach rhetoric as a tool and converse about its manufacture and use. There is another view of Richards that would be salutary to bring forward and which does not jive at all with Dames's view. Allow me to quote Kalika Ranjan Chatterjee from Understanding I.A. Richards' Principles of Literary Criticism Richards looks upon a book as a machine to think with. He compares the Principles of Liteary Criticism to a loom on which he proposes to reweave some parts of our civilization. My thanks to Professor Clark for providing the opportunity to this mere scholar-at-large to re-examine rhetorical moves and finesse an argument. Perhaps as we from various orientations within and outside the academy come together through Humanist, there may be ongoing dialogue between the social sciences and literary criticism.

The Leverhulme Doctoral Centre will challenge the dominance of the printed word in the study of human culture and society, by examining other media used before, alongside and after print. It will question the assumptions that self-expression, political community and intellectual progress are best served by printing. To do so, it will range across both historical media (some still in use), such as inscriptions and handwriting, and new digital media. In this way, it will ask how past methods of publication without print help us to understand future ones, and how emerging technology helps us to think about cultural history. It will bring students of communication into dialogue across differences of time, language, discipline and technology, from the humanities to social sciences. For admission from October 2018, ten topics are offered for study. Of those ten, five will be funded this year, depending on the applications received. Applications are now sought for the following three topics in Classics: From pre-print to post-print: transformations in (the study of) epigraphic culture https://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/humanities/documents/media/transformations_in_the_study_of_epigraphic_culture.pdf Publication and Public Space in Ancient Greece https://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/humanities/documents/media/publication_and_public_space_in_ancient_greece.pdf ‘Publication’, papyri, and literary texts: process and presentation https://www.humanities.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/humanities/documents/media/publication_papyri_and_literary_texts_-_process_and_presentation.pdf For any enquiries on particular projects, please contact jonathan.prag@classics.ox.ac.uk, rosalind.thomas@classics.ox.ac.uk, or gregory.hutchinson@classics.ox.ac.uk.

What existing tools and platforms stimulate knowledge creation across communities? In the digital age, what role do scholars play in inspiring, developing, or harnessing social knowledge creation? We are pleased to announce the release of our open, online collection Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities, and its companion print volume, available from Iter Press and the Arizona Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS). Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities addresses the relationship between social media, open access, collaboration, and crowdsourcing in the humanities. The speed, ubiquity, and diversity of online platforms, tools, techniques, and interactions have generated and continue to inform distinct cultures of knowledge creation. Moreover, the social, institutional, and cultural changes within the academy have fundamentally reshaped knowledge creation and scholarly communication. We seek to present a snapshot of this emergent discourse as well as to describe how social knowledge creation is transforming the humanities, and we welcome your participation through comments on the online materials. Currently, the online collection includes the following pre-prints, open for community commenting and discussion: * An introduction by the collection editors, Daniel Powell, Aaron Mauro, and Alyssa Arbuckle * “Future Radio and Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities,” by John Barber * “Collating Places and Words with TopoText,” by Randa El Khatib * “Open Source Interpretation Using Z-axis Maps,” by Alex Christie and the INKE & MVP Research Group * “The Page: Its Past and Future in Books of Knowledge,” by Christian Vandendorpe * “‘Digital Zombies’ — A Learner-centered Game: Social Knowledge Creation at the Intersection of Digital Humanities and Digital Pedagogy,” by Juliette Levy * “An Annotated Bibliography of Social Knowledge Creation,” by Alyssa Arbuckle, Nina Belojevic, Tracey El Hajj, Randa El Khatib, Lindsey Seatter, Raymond G. Siemens, et al. Social Knowledge Creation in the Humanities: Volume 1 is now published in the New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies (NTMRS) series of Iter Press and the Arizona Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (ACMRS), series editors William R. Bowen and Raymond G. Siemens. This print volume contains the general introduction as well as the annotated bibliography (information available at https://acmrs.org/publications/catalog/social-knowledge-creation-humanities-volume-1).

'industrial action') of academics across the national sector against the move by Universities UK (http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/) drastically to change academics' pension scheme. Unlike the gradual erosion of universities eloquently reported and argued by Stefan Collini (English, Cambridge)*, the drama of a strike has attracted public attention -- alas, woefully superficial. The attack, behind which the government stands, is financial, and that is important. But I raise the issue here, as follows, because it provides an urgent opportunity for us to articulate in public, en masse, the social importance of what we do, whether collaboratively or privately. I forward, below, a note I wrote last night to our primary television news programme, whose highly competent lead presenter, Jon Snow, skimmed over the issues, leaving the otherwise uninformed viewer with the impression of the spoiled and privileged causing trouble. I recommend you read Waseem Yaqoob's blog and can only hope that our fuss here proves internationally useful in arresting -- I dream of reversing -- the anti-intellectual forces of the dark side.

Now in its 6th year, the Around the World Conference http://aroundtheworld.ualberta.ca/ is a nearly carbon neutral event that facilitates dialogue between research institutes and researchers from around the world without the environmental cost of traditional conferences. Traditional conferences have a surprisingly large CO2 footprint. According to a recent study by researchers at the UCSB nearly one-third of CO2 emissions produced by university campuses come from flying to conferences and other academic related events. To try to mitigate a portion of climate change we need to learn how to better mobilize ideas without flying so many people. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that this year’s theme will be Sustainable Research: Modelling Nearly Carbon-Neutral Practices in the 21st Century. Topics might include, but are not limited to: - Sustainable Research Technology: IT Energy Consumption and Minimalist Computing - Sustainable Research Dissemination and Engagement: Academic Responsibility and Climate Activism - Sustainability through Art and Performance: Videogames, Art Installations and Other Forms of ‘Research-Creation’ - Sustainable Research Environments: Green Library and Green Lab Initiatives, Green Field Research, Teaching and Learning Remotely, Aboriginal Engagement - History and Philosophy of Sustainability We welcome a variety of formats, including: - Live-streamed and Pre-Recorded Talks - Panel Discussions - Workshops - Demos - e-Posters The hybrid form of our conference combines live-streamed presentations from participants around the world with on-site, face-to-face discussion. In addition to taking part in a panel or talk, you would have the opportunity to host a partner event at your home institution. KIAS will: - Support all the technological requirements in association with your tech support contact - Create the schedule and event infrastructure, including any pre-recorded talks - Advertise online and locally - Digitally archive the event and host the talks for future use If you would like to take part in the Around the World Conference on Sustainable Research, send a short abstract and bio by Monday, March 26 to the Around the World project manager Chelsea Miya at cmiya@ualberta.ca. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 3CA78951C; Sat, 24 Feb 2018 09:28:22 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id A91F49515; Sat, 24 Feb 2018 09:28:18 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id CC9E69513; Sat, 24 Feb 2018 09:28:10 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180224082810.CC9E69513@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sat, 24 Feb 2018 09:28:10 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.656 curious histories in probability and statistics 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: <20180224082821.23218.32354@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 656.

These are all available on JSTOR. Many gems here for those among us who are historically minded. For example, one early contributor, M. G. Kendall, in "Where Shall the History of Statistics Begin?" (1960), cautions the reader not to go too far into the roots of the subject, but in doing gives examples of how far one can go. There are rewards for putting his practical wisdom aside. The particular reward I've found is in filling out the connections between the combinatorial manipulations of our digital machine and the many very old practices of liberation from the bounds of one's thoughts by randomisation. Or, as Lucretius put it in De rerum natura, On the nature of things (2.289-93), sed ne mens ipsa necessum intestinum habeat cunctis in rebus agendis et devicta quasi id cogatur ferre patique, id facit exiguum clinamen principiorum nec regione loci certa nec tempore certo. But the factor that saves the mind itself from being governed in all its actions by internal necessity, and from being constrained to submit passively to its domination, is the minute swerve of the atoms at unpredictable times and places.

Indeed, bringing play into a central role in a school entails creating a culture that values the core tenets of play: taking risks, making mistakes, exploring new ideas, and experiencing joy. [...] what is emerging is a model of playful learning with indicators in three overlapping categories: delight, wonder, and choice. from Towards a Pedagogy of Play: A Project Zero Working Paper by the Pedagogy of Play Research Team [Ben Mardell, Daniel Wilson, Jen Ryan, Katie Ertel, Mara Krechevsky and Megina Baker], July 2016. -- 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 8F4ED952D; Sun, 25 Feb 2018 08:24:39 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id E47FE952F; Sun, 25 Feb 2018 08:24:35 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 8D641952B; Sun, 25 Feb 2018 08:24:27 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180225072427.8D641952B@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 08:24:27 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.658 not of benediction but of malediction 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: <20180225072437.32431.94945@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 658.

'industrial action') of academics across the national sector against the move by Universities UK (http://www.universitiesuk.ac.uk/) drastically to change academics' pension scheme. Unlike the gradual erosion of universities eloquently reported and argued by Stefan Collini (English, Cambridge)*, the drama of a strike has attracted public attention -- alas, woefully superficial. The attack, behind which the government stands, is financial, and that is important. i know of the strike thanks to my sons who are studying in the UK. in italy too we know well the marketisation of Higher Education. here the mantra is "company": an university is a company, the students are the clients. implicit: the product which sell less is dismissed - that is the courses which attracts less students (one for all: philosophy) are permanently in danger of being closed. and when i read your words "...the point that (as so often happens) the budget is being used as a political instrument" once again we are in the same situation. here too the budget is an arm used to build academic politics. but what you write shows that (in the words of l. milani) the problem of the other is similar to mine and it is politics to overcome it together - even when countries and borders seem to say that you in UK are elsewhere and are 'other' in respect to us in Italy. but "what sort of love is this love that we have for countries?" (A. Roy, "What shall we love?", Outlook India http:// www.outlookindia.com/article/what-shall-we-love/295799) here it is not our pension which is at risk, actually it is our wage which is eroded. in 2011 all the public entities wages where blocked (no progression whatsoever), now all the wages restarted except those of academics. the populist underlying argument is the same: yours are rich wages, why do you keep complaining? so here too we are starting to go on strike: last september-october 2017 exams session: and now the next june-july 2018 session best maurizio But I raise the issue here, as follows, because it provides an urgent opportunity for us to articulate in public, en masse, the social importance of what we do, whether collaboratively or privately. I forward, below, a note I wrote last night to our primary television news programme, whose highly competent lead presenter, Jon Snow, skimmed over the issues, leaving the otherwise uninformed viewer with the impression of the spoiled and privileged causing trouble. I recommend you read Waseem Yaqoob's blog and can only hope that our fuss here proves internationally useful in arresting -- I dream of reversing -- the anti-intellectual forces of the dark side. Yours, WM * See Speaking of Universities (2017); London Review of Books 35.20, 24 October 2013, https://www.lrb.co.uk/v35/n20/stefan-collini/sold-out -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: the academics' strike Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 21:06:00 +0000 From: Willard McCarty To: news@channel4.com Dear Channel 4: Reporting of the UK academics' strike has, I'm afraid, been rather uniformly disappointing, even in the hands of Jon Snow and colleagues. Allow me to explain in part by directing your attention to Waseem Yaqoob's blog entry, "Why we strike", published by the London Review of Books at https://www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2018/02/16/w-yaqoobgmail-com/ why-we-strike/ ?utm_source=LRB+blog+email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20180220+blog+UK&utm_content=ukrw_subs. Yaqoob highlights the point that (as so often happens) the budget is being used as a political instrument. The figures quoted by Universities UK are quite debatable -- but they are not being debated. One suspects a government going after the soft targets and plundering them in the wake of the costs of Brexit. Your reporter this evening had someone on camera who referred to pensions others can only dream of. What was not highlighted was that these others typically begin their working lives in their early 20s, whereas academic training, even for a junior lecturer's position, means that most academics don't begin their working lives until their mid 30s. These days many of them go through several part-time and limited-term positions before the very few achieve that job with a good pension. The risk they undertake is huge, the monetary rewards slender. But that's not why they undertake those risks. Has anyone wondered why? I was one of those few who did manage to get an academic job, and this was after 12 years of trying. Twenty years after that I retired on a pension I suspect no other professional who has invested anything like the years I did in getting ready for my position would regard as remotely adequate. But alas, all this talk of money distracts attention away from the social role that academics play in educating our youth so that they have some idea of what a life worth living would be like. Let us have a serious and open discussion of what we academics are for, what our universities are for. Let us have a balanced presentation of what's happening rather than allow the plundering of elderly academics' livelihood to go on unabated and ignorant aspersions to be flung at them. Isn't Channel 4 the public place where this should happen?

Also, less playful, Gigerenzer et al, The Empire of Chance (1989) and Hacking, The Taming of Chance (1990). As some here will know, combinatorics has not been swimming in the mainstream until fairly recently. Nowadays there are many helpful introductions, but they quite understandably go straight for the contemporary mathematical problems of the field and uses in computer science. My question, undoubtedly naive, is this: what happens when we think about ostensibly non-mathematical things combinatorially? A widening of the field of vision is needed, I think, and here historical works help. The key initial question is, where do we find people 'counting, enumerating, examining and investigating configurations of things with certain specified properties'*? People not only in the Western world since Galileo, not only sitting at desks with paper and pencil &c, not only doing things we would regard as scientifically respectable. Note: by 'not only' I mean to include and so enlarge, not to exclude. I want to ask, stretching as much as possible, what do all these activities have in common?

They are receivables. We apply manufacturing techniques (such as laboratory training, dialectic reasoning, exposure to volatile concepts) in order to refine our receivables (raw inventory) into a bricolage which can be further adapted under other circumstances in ways we can only partly foresee. Our products are consumed by society in order to establish a more-certain future.

N’est-ce pas un domaine qui ressemble encore beaucoup à une terra incognita ? Guidés par de nouvelles découvertes, de nouveaux outils et de nouvelles questions, les chercheurs et les chercheuses qui le parcourent sont réuni.e.s par un esprit d’innovation et une volonté d’apprendre. Le colloque System/Système D : l’art de l’improvisation et les recherches sur le numérique a pour objectif d’établir un forum d’échange destiné aux étudiantes et aux étudiants de deuxième et de troisième cycles, ceux et celles qui façonneront bientôt l’avenir des recherches sur le numérique dans le contexte universitaire, artistique, culturel et dans différents secteurs de l’industrie. Le colloque souhaite mettre en valeur les activités des jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs du numérique, en adoptant une perspective interdisciplinaire et transversale. Parmi les thématiques abordées, on explorera les questions suivantes : Que veut dire improviser dans le domaine de la recherche sur le numérique ? Quels défis rencontre-t-on et comment les surmonter ? Que peut-on apprendre des approches interdisciplinaires et comment ouvrir le domaine à une pluralité de voix ? Nous souhaitons que ce colloque promeuve de nouvelles possibilités de collaboration et d’engagement pour les jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses dont le travail entame un dialogue avec le domaine du numérique. Nous invitons les présentations de formats variés : communications, démonstrations (réalisations audio-visuelles, logiciels, etc.), expositions et visualisations, affiches et performances qui relèvent de toute recherche engageant les nouvelles technologies, les outils computationnels et les méthodes dont entre autres : modélisation 3D intelligence artificielle Code Art développement de bases de données data art souveraineté des données archives numériques dispositifs électroniques prêt-à-porter autoportrait numérique narration numérique glitch art Web des données culture maker informatique minimaliste apprentissage automatique données ouvertes robotique analyse des réseaux sociaux développement de logiciel analyse statistique jeux vidéo cartographie et système d’information géographique Nous encourageons aussi une réflexion fondée sur les paradigmes critiques dont voici, à titre indicatif, quelques exemples : études critiques du handicap archéologie des médias théorie critique de la race néo-matérialisme théories postcoloniales post-humanisme théories féministes théorie queer intersectionnalité travail numérique études des sciences et des technologies Modalités de soumission Nous encourageons la soumission de présentations éclairs, affiches, performances, projections de films, expositions, démonstrations et critical karaoke.

In 2018, how have digital humanities scholars taken up the call to expand the literary and historical canon to include groups that have been understudied or misrepresented by the print record? What does an intersectional, feminist DH methodology look like, who or what is it transforming, and how might we practice it in our own institutions? Transformative Digital Humanities: Feminist Interventions in Structure, Representation, and Practice asks how digital work might better support the knowledge and cultural production of women and people of color. We invite humanities scholars, librarians, archivists, digital historians, and others to connect and participate in a day of discussion that will address questions about the organizational and technical infrastructures needed to support transformative digital research, and consider alternative modes of representing gender and race in digital archives.

A complex ecosystem supports and is supported by these vocabularies. People spend significant time, energy, and money to create, adapt, adopt, modify, maintain, and promulgate the tag set. Users buy and customize tools to create and use content tagged to it and change their processes and tune their requirements to the (often only implied) world view behind the tag set. Vendors specialize in it. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Do you use a shared markup vocabulary? Tell us how your experience with it could be improved, or what aspects of the experience you find particularly helpful. Have you modified your processes or infrastructure to accommodate a shared vocabulary? Why? Are you happy you did it? Are you the creator or maintainer of a shared markup vocabulary? Is there something in your vocabulary documentation that is unusually useful? Is there a tool to create subsets (or supersets) of your vocabulary? Why? How does it work? What innovative aspects of your vocabulary ecosystem might be useful in other communities? Do you help users of a vocabulary you do not control? Do you provide additional/alternate documentation? Usage guidance? Examples? Tools? Do you make or share business rule checkers? Is this for the whole community or a sub-set? How do you contribute to the vocabulary ecosystem? Would a shared markup vocabulary be useful to you? What would it take to create and promulgate that vocabulary? • 22 April 2018 — Paper submissions due • 21 May 2018 — Speakers notified • 6 July 2018 — Final papers due • 30 July 2018 — Pre-conference Symposium: Markup Vocabulary Ecosystems • 31 July – 3 August 2018 — Balisage: The Markup Conference For more information: info@balisage.net or +1 301 315 9631 Balisage: The Markup Conference There is Nothing As Practical As A Good Theory ==================================================== Balisage: The Markup Conference 2018 mailto:info@balisage.net July 31 - August 3, 2018 http://www.balisage.net Preconference Symposium: July 30, 2018 +1 301 315 9631 ==================================================== _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 01E9A8FB8; Thu, 1 Mar 2018 08:14:42 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id A8F3C8AAE; Thu, 1 Mar 2018 08:14:38 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 5E7B895C4; Thu, 1 Mar 2018 08:14:36 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20180301071436.5E7B895C4@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 1 Mar 2018 08:14:36 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.666 grad student project award for New Yorkers 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: <20180301071440.6311.50656@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 666.

This collection of essays, from the father of textual editing, contains writings from a decade and a half of retirement spent exploring textual criticism, genetic criticism, and literary criticism. In these sixteen stimulating contributions, he develops theories of textural criticism and editing that are inflected by our advance into the digital era; structurally analyses arts of composition in literature and music; and traces the cultural implications discernible in book design, and in the canonisation of works of literature and their authors. Distinctive and ambitious, these essays move beyond the concerns of the community of critics and scholars. Gabler responds innovatively to the issues involved and often endeavours to re-think their urgencies by bringing together the orthodox tenets of different schools of textual criticism. He moves between a variety of topics, offering fresh readings of the works of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf and significant contributions to the theorisation of scholarly editing in the digital age. This collection will be of interest to everyone working in the field of Digital Humanities. You may also be interested in our journal Yeats Annual (https://www.openbookpublishers.com/section/39/1/yeats-annual) – the leading scholarly journal on Yeats – and our forthcoming volume Yeats’s Legacies: Yeats Annual No. 21. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about Text Genetics in Literary Modernism or OBP in general.

Yet categories which instead seek to draw boundaries between bodies of knowledge based on distinctions of chronological time also need to be interrogated. The spatial turn in the history of knowledge has been particularly important, with much attention paid in recent years to exploring circuits, networks, geographies and mobilities of knowledge. Less consideration, however, has been given to distinctions of chronological distance (in particular, the use of the terms ‘ancient and modern’) and the associated claims of authority, legitimacy, originality and significance, which are implied when these terms are used. The colloquium aims to explore two related sets of questions: (1) Firstly, how have ancient knowledges been discussed, adapted, interrogated, included, excluded or ignored by scholars, writers and thinkers but also merchants, diplomats and other creators of knowledge consciously identifying as modern? In referring to ‘ancient’ knowledges, we are not limiting our consideration to the knowledge of Greece and Rome alone, but are keen to hear from scholars working on the later reception of ideas, texts, images and objects originating in other ancient cultures – in China, India, Persia, Africa. In defining ‘modern’ knowledges, we are adopting Peter Burke’s identification of 15th and 16th century Renaissance humanism as the first point at which societies began to view themselves as self-consciously modern, and we will extend our area of inquiry up to the long 18th century. In adopting this definition, we are aware that we are choosing to focus on a predominantly Western understanding of modernity. At the same time, we welcome papers exploring the concept of alternative and multiple modernities developed in other parts of the globe. (2) The second set of questions we are interested in involve the different ways in which chronological markers (‘ancient’, ‘modern’, ‘new’, ‘old’, ‘traditional’, ‘novel’) have been used to draw distinctions and make claims about the legitimacy, authority and significance of different bodies of knowledge from the Renaissance onwards. Papers could, for example, address the following issues: · the role of ancient knowledge in the intersection of (and the distinction between) the natural sciences and humanities · the role that individuals and informal institutions such as learned societies have played as agents in the formation of concepts and categories of knowledge. · how reading and re-reading classical authors and ancient historians, in particular, helped to shape concepts of history, verisimilitude, plausibility and falsehood. · the relationship between ancient and modern historiography · the tradition of other ancient authors such as Plutarch, Suetonius, Cicero and Sextus Empiricus which has been particularly influential in the formation of concepts of history.

I am thrilled to invite you to join us for our first annual Digital Lecture, which welcomes Professor Luciano Floridi, Professor of Philosophy and Ethics of Information, and Director of the Digital Ethics Lab, at the University of Oxford. Exploring Semantic Capital: what it is and how to protect it, Professor Floridi will present new research on the capital of ideas, knowledge, insights, understanding, meaning, culture, languages, or in short, all of the mental productions that we both inherit and produce as humans. The lecture will discuss how such a semantic capital can be protected and fostered by the digital, but also put at risk and challenged, and what digital ethics may do to ensure its care, protection, and fostering. Following the lecture, we will be hosting a reception and poster exhibition, with lightning talks to showcase current digital research activities at The National Archives.

Durante la Edad de Plata de la cultura española la mujer fue conquistando derechos, defendió sus ideales y participó en la vida intelectual y colectiva para alcanzar cotas de modernidad que fueran equiparables al resto de los países occidentales. Rescatar, valorar y difundir la labor desarrollada por estas mujeres escritoras, artistas, periodistas, maestras, viajeras, científicas… supone un gran desafío histórico para las nuevas generaciones. Este Congreso Internacional se propone plantear cuestiones latentes y abordar aspectos novedosos para la revisión de la identidad pública y privada de la mujer moderna. Es el momento de recabar las últimas investigaciones para reflexionar sobre los desafíos que debe abordar la historiografía literaria con el fin de proponer soluciones que conlleven la deseable nivelación genérica del discurso historiográfico, reconducido hacia retos digitales, redes de contacto interdisciplinares y espacios de interacción que cimentarán enfoques más abiertos y dinámicos. Las comunicaciones presentadas deben adscribirse a las siguientes LÍNEAS TEMÁTICAS: 1.- MUJER, PRIVACIDAD Y ESPACIO PÚBLICO Junto a la brillante producción literaria y artística, y por encima de las graves crisis sociopolíticas que agitaron la época, la Edad de Plata se define por los grandes cambios –sociales, tecnológicos, mercantiles, pedagógicos– que mejoraron las condiciones de la vida española, consolidando el camino hacia la modernidad. De este impulso la mujer salió beneficiada. Se hicieron realidad las demandas de unas enseñanzas útiles que pudieran generar un trabajo que diera autonomía a la mujer en el plano individual y social. Surge la mujer profesional, a la vez que accede a espacios tradicionalmente vedados para ella. Y, sobre todo, aflora a lo largo de todo el periodo el discurso pedagógico femenino de unas mujeres –escritoras e intelectuales– que, en sus columnas periodísticas, libros de ensayo y obras de ficción, van conformando los perfiles de la nueva mujer del siglo XX, desde su plano más íntimo como la sexualidad o la insumisión matrimonial a los derechos de ciudadanía, léase asociacionismo, divorcio, aborto o sufragio femenino. Es la invención de la mujer moderna y su reflejo en la literatura, lo que vamos a desarrollar en los siguientes núcleos temáticos: a. Educación y formación. La Universidad. La mujer intelectual. Lecturas y lectoras. Círculos culturales femeninos. b. El progreso al servicio de la mujer: moda, medios técnicos, viajes.. c. Matrimonio, amor y sexualidad d. Nuevas profesionales y nuevas profesiones. Las pioneras en la ciencia, la medicina, el derecho, el comercio y el empresariado, las artes plásticas, la música, el deporte, el periodismo y la empresa editorial, las nuevas tecnologías ‒telefonistas, telegrafistas, locutoras, montadoras de cine, iluminadoras de fotogramas, etc.‒ e. Derechos sociales y ciudadanía. Asociacionismo. Compromiso y política. 2.- EL LEGADO DE LA MUJER MODERNA DESPUÉS DE 1939: PROYECCIÓN HISTÓRICA Y NUEVOS MEDIOS Como categoría histórica, el género está sujeto a cambios. Los estudios sobre memoria histórica han puesto en marcha dinámicas de género permitiendo rescatar la valiosa labor desarrollada por las mujeres de la Edad de Plata. Dichos estudios suponen la renovación de planteamientos historiográficos que afectan al canon literario para enriquecerlo con nuevos nombres, otros géneros y el rescate de textos que permiten relecturas críticas basadas en la pluralidad de enfoques. Estas dinámicas de género se han visto reforzadas gracias a las nuevas tecnologías que han permitido la digitalización masiva de contenidos impresos u originales e inéditos, como por ejemplo los epistolarios, y así progresivamente, los museos, archivos y bibliotecas están digitalizando sus propios fondos y se están creando bases de datos, colecciones y bibliotecas específicamente digitales. Todo ello fomenta la divulgación y la investigación de la labor realizada por las mujeres en la Edad de Plata y enriquece la interpretación histórica, social y cultural del primer tercio del siglo XX. En esta línea de trabajo se pueden presentar comunicaciones relacionadas con: a. Exilio, género y modernidad b. Las silenciadas de la Edad de Plata: censura y autocensura c. El rescate: ediciones, bibliotecas, colecciones, medios audiovisuales d. Cambio y permanencia del género en los discursos históricos e. La integración del género en los programas curriculares f. Plataformas, bases de datos, colecciones, museos, archivos y bibliotecas con contenidos digitales sobre la mujer moderna. g. Ediciones digitales de textos escritos por mujeres de la Edad de Plata FORMATO Se admiten resúmenes de comunicaciones en español de 300-400 palabras donde debe figurar el título, el nombre, la institución a la que pertenece y detalles de contacto. Los resúmenes serán evaluados por un Comité Científico internacional que llevará a cabo una selección inter pares. Se valorará la adecuación del tema, los objetivos, la metodología, las implicaciones y limitaciones de la investigación y el uso de medios digitales en el hallazgo de resultados.

The book will hopefully be of interest to members of this list, as it provides a macrohistorical framework for the emergence of Computer Haptics, moving forward from electrical experiments in the 1700s to psychophysics in the 1800s, and then engaging with the design of tactile communication systems in the middle decades of the twentieth century. The final two chapters address the more recent history of haptics, tracing the development of Computer Haptics as a dedicated & formalized field of study from the 1970s on. Catalog description & ordering info below. ARCHAEOLOGIES OF TOUCH: Interfacing with Haptics from Electricity to Computing A material history of haptic technology that raises new questions about the relationship between touch and media University of Minnesota Press | 472 pages | February 2018 ISBN 978-1-5179-0059-5 | paper | $28.00 ISBN 978-1-5179-0058-8 | cloth | $112.00 David Parisi offers the first full history of new computing technologies known as haptic interfaces—which use electricity, vibration, and force feedback to stimulate the sense of touch—showing how the efforts of scientists and engineers over the past 300 years have gradually remade and redefined our sense of touch. *Archaeologies of Touch* offers a timely and provocative engagement with the long history of touch technology that helps us confront and question the power relations underpinning the project of giving touch its own set of technical media.

We are conducting a survey to explore the use and effectiveness of and interest in videos as pedagogical tools. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and all responses will be anonymous. We would like to hear from you about your experience using videos, either as an educator or as a learner. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who have watched or used in an educational setting the videos available from the #dariahTeach platform , an online platform with open-source, high quality, multilingual teaching materials for the digital arts and humanities.

Analyzing, Interpreting, Saving, Recycling This session invites contributions dealing with a number of aspects related to 3D data in cultural heritage, particularly those that go beyond the process of 3D data acquisition and simple visualisation. Many of us have: (1) spent quite some time optimizing acquisition techniques (e.g., structured light or laser scanning, photogrammetry, CT scan, digital microscopy, procedural modelling); (2) started sharing or reusing data on/from databases or online; (3) and analysing particular sets of data. However, - Why do you generate 3D data? - What kind of data is required for certain type and scale of scientific analysis? - What type of quantitative and qualitative analysis (e.g., acoustic, functional, morphological, simulation, statistical, structural, technological, thermal, visibility, volumetric) do you carry out on the 3D data to help answering your research questions? - How does the 3D data workflow determine the interpretation of the cultural heritage object and/or dataset? - And how do you structure and save these data for long-term archiving and accessing? This session would like to summarize concepts, to encourage critical evaluations of used approaches, and to spark the discussion on requirements and methods for 3D data analysis and interpretation of cultural heritage assets.

Barber, Mary Borgo, Scott Weingart, Nickoal Eichmann-Kalwara, and William B. Kurtz. There is also a short introduction by myself. These contributions began life as presentations at the DHSI Colloquium a few years back, and were subsequently adapted into more substantial articles for further peer-review and publication. So thanks to all who make DHSI possible (you know the names). I'd also like to thank Daniel O'Donnell and his team for making this collection a reality--it *would not* have come to fruition without their efforts, and our field is very lucky to have such people (who typically go unrecognised). Anyway, please read and share far and wide.

Submissions are invited for the Ninth Workshop on the Philosophy of Information, which will take place at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and Arts in Brussels, 26th–27th of June 2018, just before SPSP 2018 in Ghent. Call for Papers The theme of the workshop is information visualisation. Our aim is to focus on informational artefacts that encode or convey information in order to try and explain why visualisations can play a certain epistemic role and why certain visualisation are more effective than others. A special attention will be given to the study of how scientists rely on visualisations and how visual artefacts are designed in the sciences. On this basis, we wish to explore convergences between the philosophy of information and the philosophy of science as well as between the formal sciences (logic, computing) and the philosophy of information. We therefore encourage scholars of various disciplinary backgrounds to explore the lines of inquiry we propose. Topics of interest include: • Extensions and critical evaluations of visualisations as models and as epistemic representations in the context of data-intensive science. • The epistemology of data and data science in the context of visualisation. • The logic and epistemology of design in the context of information visualisation. • Case-studies of specific visualisation-practices or types of visualisations; including drawings, photographs and diagrams. • Meta-theoretical reflections on the status of theoretical foundations for information visualisation. • The role of formal methods for the study of visualisation. How to submit an abstract Abstracts of 500-1000 words should be submitted no later than 15 March 2018 to socphilinfo@gmail.com. Submissions will be evaluated by the programme committee, and notification of acceptance will be issued by 15 April 2018.

Wisnicki" Subject: new publications and scholarship, Livingstone Online In-Reply-To: <55b27fa6-bf9e-5bda-7ca5-5c2430633300@mccarty.org.uk> Colleagues, See below for an announcement about new publications and scholarship from Livingstone Online (http://livingstoneonline.org/). Please take a moment to review and/or share with anyone that might be interested. Apologies for any cross-listings. Adrian S. Wisnicki Associate Professor, Department of English Digital Humanities Coordinator, Department of English Digital Humanities Curriculum Coordinator, College of Arts and Sciences Faculty Fellow, Center for Digital Research in the Humanities University of Nebraska-Lincoln ##### New work from Livingstone Online Livingstone Online (http://livingstoneonline.org/) is a peer-reviewed digital museum and library focused on the history of the British empire. The site uses the written and visual legacies of Victorian traveler David Livingstone (1813-1873) to engage ongoing debates about the creation of the colonial archive. Livingstone Online argues that colonial documents (like those of Livingstone and others) should be read in their global and non-western local contexts, as the products of intercultural encounter, and the site seeks to recover and explore such additional histories. The project also invites critical review of its own constructedness as a digital humanities endeavor by highlighting the complicated paths Livingstone’s words have taken from nineteenth-century manuscripts to the twenty-first-century web. Together, Livingstone Online's materials make it an important resource for scholars working in areas such as Victorian literature, the British empire, African studies, colonial and postcolonial studies, travel writing, nineteenth-century global history, and much more. Scholars and other interested audiences are warmly invited to visit the site. Adrian S. Wisnicki (University of Nebraska-Lincoln; awisnicki@yahoo.com) and Megan Ward (Oregon State University; megan.ward@oregonstate.edu) lead the work of Livingstone Online. The site is hosted by the University of Maryland Libraries. ##### Thanks to grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, Livingstone Online has recently completed several concurrent phases of long-term development (2013-2018). The site now: * publishes an array of critical essays on the colonial archive, the history of nineteenth-century Africa, British imperial discourse, and Livingstone's manuscripts; * offers open access to over 15,000 images of manuscripts and historical illustrations, 5,000 pages of critically-edited and encoded transcriptions, and 3000 metadata records (http://livingstoneonline.org/in-his-own-words/catalogue); * includes digital humanities process narratives and hundreds of project documents that take users far behind the scenes of the research that has made the project possible. Livingstone Online also includes a number of critical editions focused on specific manuscripts or collections of documents. A handful of the editions draw on state-of-the-art spectral imaging technology, an area where the Livingstone Online team has been recognized for its disciplinary leadership. The editions are as follows: * Livingstone’s Manuscripts in South Africa (1843-1872): A Critical Edition. First edition, 2018. http://livingstoneonline.org/in-his-own-words/livingstone-s-manuscripts- in-south-africa-1843-1872 * Livingstone's Final Manuscripts (1865-1873) – Diaries, Journals, Notebooks, and Maps: A Critical Edition.

Whether we focus on humanoid robots, robot systems, or robotics incorporated in the human body, research in the area shares one theme: interaction. How do we relate to robots, how do robots relate to us, and how might we more clearly define the complexity of interaction with robots? While those working in science and engineering have taken the field of HRI to exciting areas, robots can be researched also as social actors, regardless of their technical attributes. This special issue aims at disseminating cutting edge HRI work emerging from domains that are less represented in mainstream HRI venues, work that is informed by performance research, the arts, architecture, design, literature and philosophy. While scholarly research inclines itself away from the sensational, a robust exploration of interaction with robots requires us to address challenges that involve themes normally considered salacious. Intimacy, robot friendship, and the potential for the individual to become more human through robotic augmentation or collaboration are areas of speculation that promise to inform all aspects of HRI research. While media outlets sensationalize such areas of development, they are well underway and the scholarly voice is sometime missing from this important conversation. Creative research, performance studies and scholarly advancements in arts, design, literature and philosophy can offer natural complements to these cutting edge technological explorations. In order to address the gap in understanding and to add complexity and nuance to our knowledge of interaction we need to dedicate time and effort to a bolder approach. What is the nature of emotional interaction with robots? What are the possibilities for robotic extensions of the self? How can novel scholarly work in the humanities, arts and design inform HRI? For this Special Issue, authors are encouraged to submit original research articles, case studies or reviews exploring creative discovery in Human–Robot Interaction. Of particular interest are articles that explore theoretical or applied approaches to novel forms of interaction. What is possible? What seems impossible? How far can we go, and what are the questions we are reluctant to ask? What rights do robots have? What rights should robots have? How might performance research be used to support the integration of robots in society, and of robotic elements in the human body and/or environment? What is the aesthetic and expressive potential of robot art? How can we evaluate such work? What do the arts have to offer us in the way of inspiration for new avenues of research and development? This Special Issue seeks provocative and radical HRI scholarly work that will evoke novel methodical approaches to pressing robotic interaction questions, offering the community a chance to shake up our current thinking and practice, and to provide fresh insights into HRI.

We seek individuals who will develop and drive an interdisciplinary research program at the intersection of the humanities and engineering and who are dedicated to teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The holder of this Chair must be a specialist in the history of science and technology of the modern period (19th and 20th centuries), including the recent past, who studies the evolution of science and technical knowledge in connection with major social, economic and/or political changes. The holder of this position will carry out her or his research on the epistemology of exact sciences and life sciences, on scientific knowledge, and also on know-how and technical objects (on their conception, their fabrication and their different uses), aiming to understand the transmission and the worldwide circulation of this knowledge and these objects, highlighting in the process the role of experts together with the more general implication of citizens in the dissemination and circulation of such scientific knowledge. The holder of this position will also have as a mission to promote the collection of the Museum of Physics of UNIL (http://museephysique.epfl.ch). Experience in promoting knowledge outside the academic world will be an asset. EPFL, with its main campus located in Lausanne, Switzerland, is a dynamically growing and well-funded institution fostering excellence and diversity. EPFL offers internationally competitive salaries, start-up resources, and research infrastructure.

Tue 27 March 2018, 17:00 – 18:30 BST ## Where? Social media automation has advanced into a subject of both academic interest and public controversy. Especially in the aftermath of recent elections in the US and the Brexit vote, automation has been problematized to infer in opinion formation through affective politics or to reinforce the support of niche positions. However, automation has been supported by platforms from the very outset, as they enabled external stakeholders to develop scripts to automate platform engagement within more or less closely watched regulations. Recent research has mainly framed non-human activity in social media as bots, that is fully automated software robots, and devised various methods for bot detection. This talk takes a different perspective on automation and suggests to account for the full spectrum of entanglement between manual and software supported social media usage which ranges from cross-syndication, sensor-based acitivity to automated content generation and algorithmic interaction. It draws on empirical experiments to account for automation on Twitter and opens up a wider set of question concerning social media data: If social media data blends manual activity, cross-syndicated and software-enabled action, what are the implications for working with such data empirically in digital methods contexts? And how do the different degrees of automation challenge models of quantification, as data production and grammatisation extends far beyond user interfaces and reconfigure the relation between action and capture? Carolin Gerlitz is professor of digital media and methods at the University of Siegen and member of the Digital Methods Initiative Amsterdam. Before joining Siegen, she was an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam and holds a PhD in Sociology from Goldsmiths, University of London. Her research concerns the intersections between media studies and economic sociology with a focus on platforms, data critique, digital methods, social media, app studies, issue mapping, quantification and valuation. She runs a NWO funded research project entitled “Numbering Life. Measures and Metrics of Digital Media” and is part of the DFG funded cooperative research centre “Media of Cooperation”.

Liu's novel was originally published in serial form and so its chapters read well as self-contained units. I do believe that anyone looking for some recreation would enjoy Chapter 17 : Three Body: Newton, Von Neumann, the First Emperor and Tri-Solar Syzygy.

Dear Henry, I am not by any means a Sociology specialist, much less a Digital Sociology one, but I do believe that adding the adjetive "digital" to a field of study only changes its methods, and not its nature. Therefore, if the core guidelines of sociological inquiry are to remain unchanged wether it's made using digital or traditional (non-digital) methods, and if Sociology is usually placed amongst the Humanities, then It is my opinion that Digital Sociology should share the same umbrella. Kind regards, André Pacheco --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2018 11:03:53 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: digital sociology Those of us who cannot stay put have had troubles for a long time with the supposed meta-discipinary boundary between the humanities and the social sciences. See Clifford Geertz, "Blurred genres: The refiguration of social thought", American Scholar 49.2 (1980): 165-79, for the shift he detected in the social sciences toward the humanities. I like the rough distinction between the 'interpretative' disciplines, i.e. those orientated to asking ever-better questions, and those in which practitioners regard final answers or proofs as their goal. I don't see how we in the humanities can do without the social sciences. In recent times I've found myself referring to the 'human sciences', hoping that I will be understood. How many here would regard 'human sciences' as including the humanities? Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor emeritus, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University and North Carolina State University; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20) --[3]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2018 11:05:58 +0000 From: "Pretnar, Ajda" Subject: Re: digital socioogy within digital humanities In-Reply-To: Dear Henry, I had a similar discussion with my colleagues and they claim sociology is a part of the social sciences, so it would go under computational social sciences more than digital humanities. Wikipedia, while not the most reliable source of information, would support this claim. However, I don’t see how these two fields cannot be linked. After all, we are all researching human phenomena. On a similar note, have I somehow missed anthropology in Digital Humanities or is there really not a lot of research in this field?

In-Reply-To: Dear All, Sociology is generally indexed in the social sciences. The three major divisions of journal indexes are the natural sciences and engineering (SCI), the social sciences (SSCI), and arts and humanities (AHCI). Sociology is categorized in the social and behavioral sciences along with anthropology, economics, geography, psychology, and others. These categories are often somewhat fluid — sociology of knowledge, for example, often moves into philosophy, while history is often categorized in the humanities. It seems to me that the broad and shifting range of inquiries in the digital humanities is such that digital humanities may include many fields. Nevertheless, the underlying fields do not thereby become a part of the general humanities. All these issues may be moot in a world where much meaningful research transcends the boundaries of the traditional disciplines. Ken Friedman Ken Friedman | Editor-in-Chief | 设计 She Ji.

(See Project Endings and for examples of our ongoing work.) Working partly from four case studies (University of Victoria DH projects), we are developing tool kits to aid the DH community in implementing best practices in ending and archiving. Having learned as much as we can from our own successes and failures, we want to gain insight from a wide variety of DH projects through a multiple-choice survey. We hope that you will be willing to share your experience in ending and archiving with us. You may be acquainted with some team members; you should feel under no obligation to respond to the survey for this reason. The survey should take ten to fifteen minutes to complete.

Beyond these responsibilities, the fellow will participate actively in the life and activities of the Sherman Centre and represent it at key DH events such as the Digital Humanities Summer Institute (DHSI) and the annual Digital Humanities conference at the institution’s expense. Eligibility: The Postdoctoral Fellowship is open to scholars who have completed their doctoral degree no earlier than June 1, 2014. Candidates must have defended their dissertation and received their PhD by July 1, 2018. The optimal candidate will have a Ph.D. in a DH-relevant discipline and a digital humanities research agenda.

As a member of a field of folklore studies that lies on the humanistic side of the however-imagined boundary between the humanities and the human sciences, with cultural anthropology the kissing cousin just on the other side, I like the distinction once made by my fellow folklorist Henry Glassie, who framed the humanities as those disciplines which seek to understand humans through the things they make -- the texts they assemble in speaking or in writing as well as all the other artifacts they create -- and the human sciences as seeking to understand humans more directly, through direct observation of behavior be it individual or collective. This division in labor often left humanists wishing for the rigor of social scientific methodology and the social sciences wishing for the openness of humanistic inquiry. --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2018 12:47:44 +0900 From: Radim Hladik Subject: Re: digital socioogy within digital humanities? In-Reply-To: <20180313062534.CC8CB9A46@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Dear all, the question of sociology's categorization is, in a way, my actual research interest. Make no mistake, there is little doubt in any standard disciplinary classification that sociology counts among social sciences, a third culture between natural sciences (sciences) and the humanities, although the term "human sciences", associated mostly with the French tradition, I believe, and mentioned by Willard, does blur the boundaries between social sciences and the humanities a bit. In continental universities, the distinction is more often than not also an institutional one, with Faculties of Social Sciences being distinct from Faculties of Arts (and the Humanities). However, there has been a traditional tension in the social sciences and in sociology in particular about their disciplinary identity. One of the better known formulations comes from Wolf Lepenies who describes how sociology came to being in close contact with 19th century novelists and puts it in "between literature and science". However, this is not by any means a thing of history. Especially since the more widespread establishment of ethnography as one of sociology's chief methods (also thanks to the previously mentioned Clifford Geertz's work), the arguments about how sociological writing should look like repeatedly pop up. So there seems to be an entrenched division in sociology with one trend promoting its (social) scientific aspects, the other seeking, wittingly or not, more humanistic approaches. As for "digital sociology", that is more specific question, but one which also betrays the duality of sociology in general. A part of the digital sociology seems to cover the more scientific part of the discipline and constitutes rather natural extension of statistical modeling (which is very well-established in sociology) to larger data sets, visualizations etc. But what apparently passes under digital sociology most often is the concern with the digital media and social networks and how these change social relationships and behavior. Lots of interpretative work can take place under this banner and there are, indeed, considerable overlaps with digital humanities. What I also consider interesting is the push towards sociological approaches from the humanities side. I believe digital humanities to be one of the main culprits in this regard. Ted Underwood, as far as I know, has been someone who explicitly points out this trend. I think it is a very natural process to begin asking questions of social relevance once you begin to deal with larger textual data. To conclude, I believe there indeed is a rapprochement. But despite its moniker, digital sociology does not always need to be the closest ally of digital humanities inside sociology. Cultural sociology, sociology of culture (not the same thing!), sociology of knowledge, sociology of art/literature, critical theory... might be the subfields more readily open for such kind of interdisciplinary conversation.

Please register until 23 May 2018 at https://dariah2018.sciencesconf.org/registration. Note: Registration with dinner incuded closes on 18 May 2018. After that you can still register without dinner. The Annual Event is open beyond the DARIAH community. It features a series of engaging keynote lectures and interactive sessions, which bring together researchers, technologists, data scientists and cultural heritage professionals. Additionally it enables colleagues to work together face-to-face on their DARIAH activities, e.g. in Working Group meetings. This year: focus on Open Science The theme for this year’s event is Open Science. We would like to discuss with the DARIAH community how we deal with issues of Open Science in the research infrastructure we build, and how the humanities can promote new methodologies for open collaboration. There will be two keynotes and several workshops on the topic. The first keynote will be held by Dr. Jon Tennant, who is creator of the Open Science Mooc. It is entitled "Open Science is just good science". The speech will center around the question of how researchers can work together to kick-start a new culture of 'open' scientific practices. The second keynote speaker is Prof. Teresa Scassa, the Canada Research Chair in Information Law and Policy at the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Law. She will speak on "Intellectual Property Rights in Ethically Open Science" and will examine the complex role of intellectual property rights in the creation and advancement of academic knowledge. A series of workshops will highlight various aspects of the DARIAH infrastructure: * Workshop 1: Promoting Open Scholarship in DH: Reasons and Tools for Open Licensing * Workshop 2: DH Course Registry Metadatathon * Workshop 3: Open Peer Review hands on: alternative methods of evaluation in scholarly publishing * Workshop 4: DH in Ten Years From Now. PARTHENOS 'Foresight Study Workshop' Working group meetings open to everyone Additionally, for the first time, the meetings of DARIAH's working groups will be open to everyone who attends the Annual Event. If you are curious about their activities or interested in starting a collaboration, just specify this during the registration process.

We are particularly interested in papers that attend to the study of book history and print culture, but we welcome work on a variety of scholarly and educational interests, including editorial practices, translation, programming, social knowledge creation, accessibility, labor and ethics, and programmatic or institutional concerns. Papers may address methodology, praxis, assignment design and assessment, and issues of pedagogical theory and practice. We are also planning a digital companion to support the print volume, so we encourage papers that include as appendices sample syllabi, prompts, and online resources. Submissions may either be long abstracts (app. 1000 words), or may be partial or complete first drafts of proposed submissions. We anticipate the volume will be published in summer 2019. Abstracts due: May 1, 2018 Abstract Length: ~1000 words Full papers due: late summer 2018 Please submit abstracts or drafts as an attachment to asilva@york.cuny.edu and sschofi4@huron.uwo.ca.

Are you interested in finding out more about collaborative research opportunities or looking for fresh inspiration for your research? Join us for an 'Open House' networking event at the British Library on 23 April. This half-day event will give you a chance to find out about some of our current research priorities and how to approach research collaboration with the British Library. Many of our curatorial staff will be present and there will be ample opportunities for informal networking and discussion. Who is it for? The event is open to all academics interested in collaborating with the British Library, as well as staff from university research offices and related institutions. Anyone interested in working with the British Library – or supporting colleagues to do so – is welcome to attend, even if your interests don’t match the areas being presented on the day. Curators from other collection areas will also be attending and there will be opportunities to speak to the Research Development team , who can provide general advice on collaboration and partnership with the British Library. NB: This is not a 'sandpit' event or call for partners for any specific research programme or funding opportunity. Rather, it is an informal networking event that offers the chance to get to know some of the Library's curators and to get a flavour of collections and resources that can inspire new research and collaboration. Materials from six areas of the Library's collection will be presented on the day. However, we hope that the event will also be of interest to researchers working on other subject areas who are interested in research collaboration with the Library. Programme The event will take place in the British Library Knowledge Centre at St Pancras on the morning of Monday, 23 April, and will include a free networking lunch for all attendees. A full programme is available here: Registration If you would like to attend, please email research.development@bl.uk with the following information - Your job title & institutional affiliation - Areas of current research interest (if applicable) - Reason for attending/ what you’re hoping to get out of the day.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2018 08:05:16 +0000 From: François Bavaud Subject: CfP: Workshop on Computational Methods in the Humanities 2018 (COMHUM 2018) Call for Proposals Workshop on Computational Methods in the Humanities 2018 (COMHUM 2018) Workshop date: June 4–5, 2018 Location: University of Lausanne, Switzerland ―――― It is often said that the digital humanities are “situated at the intersection of computer science and the humanities,” but what does this mean? We believe that the point of using computers in the humanities is not just to automatically analyze larger amounts of data or to accelerate research. We therefore prefer to understand digital humanities as (1) the study of means and methods of constructing formal models in the humanities and (2) as the application of these means and methods for the construction of concrete models in particular humanities disciplines. The central research questions are thus correspondingly (1) which computational methods are most appropriate for dealing with the particular challenges posed by humanities research, e.g., uncertainty, vagueness, incompleteness, but also with different positions (points of view, values, criteria, perspectives, approaches, readings, etc.)? And (2) how can such computational methods be applied to concrete research questions in the humanities? The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers involved with computational approaches in the humanities with the objective of stimulating the research and exchange around innovative, methodologically explicit approaches, to encourage discussion among researchers and developers from different communities, and to help bridging the divide that still exists between the different disciplines involved in this field. The program will consist of invited and contributed talks on computational methods for and in the humanities. The official language of the workshop is English. Contributions can be submitted in English or French. The workshop is organized by the Department of Language and Information Sciences at the University of Lausanne, with the support of the Faculty of Arts. The workshop underlines the commitment of the Department of Language and Information Sciences to the computational dimension of the digital humanities, including formal and mathematical methods. Topics ══════ The topics of the workshop encompass formal and computational aspects related to the development and use of computational methods in the humanities (in particular the disciplines represented in the Faculty of Arts of UNIL - such as literature, linguistics, history, history of art, cinema studies, game studies). Topics include, but are not limited to: • Theoretical issues of formal modeling in the humanities • Knowledge representation in the humanities • Data structures addressing specific problems in the humanities (including text and markup) • Quantitative methods in the humanities • Computer vision and image analysis in the humanities • Spatial analysis in the humanities • Network analysis in the humanities Submissions ═══════════ We invite researchers to submit abstracts of 500 to 1000 words (1–2 pages, excluding references). Abstracts will be reviewed double-blind by the members of the program committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Abstracts submitted at review stage must not contain the authors’ names, affiliations, or any information that may disclose the authors’ identity. Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their research at the workshop as a talk, and the abstracts will be published in the book of abstracts of the workshop. The abstracts must use the ACL 2017 format. Please strictly follow the guidelines that will be published on the workshop Web site. Abstracts must be submitted electronically in PDF format. For abstracts submissions we use EasyChair: [https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=comhum2018]. For details please consult the workshop Web site at [http://www.unil.ch/llist/events/comhum2018]. Authors of accepted contributions will be invited, after the conference, to submit a full paper version (6–16 pages), which, after peer-review, will be published in an open-access, electronic conference volume endowed with persistent identifiers (to be confirmed soon).

This seems to have nothing to do with the recent diplomatic chill originating, official sources have declared, from the same direction. In any case, indeed in both cases, it seems a good idea to send along an amusing and curious discovery concerning Alan Turing's mathematical speculations on how a machine might be instructed to play the harmonica.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 09:27:27 +0000 From: Willard McCarty Subject: Turing on fair play This is to draw your attention to Alan Turing's "Lecture to the London Mathematical Society" on 20 February 1947, which has been published in B.E. Carpenter and R.W. Doran, Turing's ACE Report of 1946 and Other Papers (1986) and elsewhere officially; unofficially it may be found at https://www.vordenker.de/downloads/turing-vorlesung.pdf. There are several aspects of this lecture that should be of interest to us in the humanities, whether the prospect of a lecture for mathematicians draws our interest or turns us away. Be not turned away! In the lecture Turing discusses the ACE (Automatic Computing Engine) he was directly involved in building, its mercury delay-line memory and other bits of hardware. Given his audience, however, his primary focus is on the machine's "property of being digital [rather] than that of being electronic". But Turing's mathematician is rather different from, say, G. H. Hardy's or Srinivasa Ramanujan's. Of particular interest to us, I think, are first of all "some of the tactical situations that are met with in programming", i.e. by someone alert to the possibilities opened up by digital hardware. To us, for whom these matters have been naturalised, it may be surprising that anything special is made of them. Note the following: -- "the iterative cycle", or loop; -- "'discrimination' i.e. of deciding what to do next partly according to the results of the machine itself, instead of according to data available to the programmer", which Turing, not expecting his audience to understand, illustrates with a simile: "It is like an aeroplane circling over an aerodrome, and asking permission to land after each circle"; -- "constructing an instruction and then obeying it", i.e. dynamically rewriting the code stored in memory; -- "standard subsidiary [instruction] tables", i.e. subroutines. For help understanding that these did not simply follow but were major discoveries and hugely consequential choices of how to understand the machine, I suggest Mark Priestley, A Science of Operations: Machines, Logic and the Invention of Programming (2011). "It might be argued", Turing writes at the end of the lecture, "that there is a fundamental contradiction in the idea of a machine with intelligence", mentioning without laying claim to it, the proof "that with certain logical systems there can be no machine which will distinguish provable formulae of the system from unprovable , i.e. that there is no test that the machine can apply which will divide propositions with certainty into these two classes. Thus if a machine is made for this purpose it must in some cases fail to give an answer", whereas the mathematician would eventually come up with one. Turing concludes, > This would be the argument. Against it I would say that fair play > must be given to the machine. Instead of it sometimes giving no > answer we could arrange that it gives occasional wrong answers. But > the human mathematician would likewise make blunders when trying out > new techniques. It is easy for us to regard these blunders as not > counting and give him another chance, but the machine would probably > be allowed no mercy. In other words then, if a machine is expected to > be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent. There are several > mathematical theorems which say almost exactly that. But these > theorems say nothing about how much intelligence may be displayed if > a machine makes no pretence at infallibility. To continue my plea for > 'fair play for the machines' when testing their I.Q. A human > mathematician has always undergone an extensive training. This > training may be regarded as not unlike putting instruction tables > into a machine. One must therefore not expect a machine to do a very > great deal of building up of instruction tables on its own. No man > adds very much to the body of knowledge, why should we expect more of > a machine? Putting the same point differently, the machine must be > allowed to have contact with human beings in order that it may adapt > itself to their standards. The game of chess may perhaps be rather > suitable for this purpose, as the moves of the machine's opponent > will automatically provide this contact. Or the game of go, as we have recently witnessed. Stochastic processes and machine learning. Sound familiar?

Gold" Subject: New programs at CUNY Graduate Center: MA in Digital Humanities, M.S. in Data Analysis and Visualization Dear Colleagues, The CUNY Graduate Center is delighted to announce two new Master's programs that we hope will be of interest to you, your students, and your colleagues. Please help us spread the news and encourage anyone interested to get in touch. The *M.A. in Digital Humanities* program ( http://www.gc.cuny.edu/dh ) provides students with both the practical skills and the humanistic knowledge needed to work on digital humanities-related projects in universities, libraries, museums, and the non-profit sector. We offer three areas of study: textual analysis, data visualization and mapping, and digital pedagogy. In our program, students learn to think critically about digital platforms as they begin to use them. Our students gain programming skills in the context of their digital projects, with the support of a large community of fellow practitioners behind them. The program includes an optional internship course that offers valuable experience in applying DH skills in a professional context. Throughout their coursework, both within the program and through their elective courses taken throughout the Graduate Center's rich offerings, students balance critical study of technology with substantive study of humanities subjects. Learn more: http://www.gc.cuny.edu/dh The *M.S. in Data Analysis and Visualization* program ( http://www.gc.cuny.edu/datavis ) allows students to better understand how data operates in society and how it can be curated and presented. We offer three areas of study: data analysis, data visualization, and data studies. Across all of these classes, we move from fundamental concepts and methods to more advanced methods. We focus on analyzing real-world datasets and creating effective and engaging visualizations. Coursework will help students understand longer historical trends that drive the adoption of computers, networks, and data analysis in a society, and this will help them to anticipate future trends. Graduates will be able to work in the industry (data analysis, data and information visualization) or to pursue doctoral studies in a range of related disciplines. Learn more: http://www.gc.cuny.edu/datavis The application deadline for the Fall 2018 semester is April 15, 2018. Again, I would be happy to answer any questions about these programs. Thank you for sharing news of them with anyone you think might be interested. Best, Matt -- Matthew K. Gold, Ph.D. Director, M.A. Program in Digital Humanities & M.S.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2018 07:31:54 -0700 From: Stan Szpakowicz Subject: 2nd Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature LaTeCH-CLfL 2018: The 2nd Joint SIGHUM Workshop on Computational Linguistics for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, Humanities and Literature to be held in conjunction with COLING 2018 in Santa Fe, NM, USA https://sighum.wordpress.com/events/latech-clfl-2018/ Second Call for Papers (with apologies for cross-posting) Organisers: Beatrice Alex, Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Anna Feldman, Anna Kazantseva, Nils Reiter, Stan Szpakowicz LaTeCH-CLfL 2018 is a second joint meeting of two communities with overlapping research goals and a similar research focus. The SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH) have been a forum for researchers who develop new technologies for improved information access to data from the broadly understood humanities and social sciences. The ACL Workshops on Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL) have focussed on applications of NLP to a wide variety of literary data. The first joint workshop (LaTeCH-CLfL 2017) brought together people from both communities. We count on this workshop to broaden the scope of our work even further, and to encourage new common research initiatives. A highlight of the workshop will be Ted Underwood 's invited talk. Topics and Content In the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Heritage communities, there is increasing interest in and demand for NLP methods for semantic annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of both primary and secondary data; this is even true of primarily non-textual collections, given that text is also the pervasive medium for metadata. Such applications pose new challenges for NLP research, such as noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, multilingual parts within one document, lack of digital resources, or resource-intensive approaches that call for (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or, as a last resort, intense manual effort (e.g., annotation). Literary texts bring their own problems, because navigating this form of creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking tools. Examples of advanced tasks include the study of literature of a certain period or sub-genre, recognition of certain literary devices, or quantitative analysis of poetry. More generally, there is a growing interest in computational models whose results can be interpreted in meaningful ways. A common forum is mutually beneficial to NLP experts, data specialists, digital humanities researchers, and those who study literature. The second edition of the joint workshop has something for everyone in all such communities. We invite contributions on these, and closely related, topics: -- adapting NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and to the humanities including literature; -- fully- or semi-automatic creation of semantic resources; -- automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data; -- building and analyzing social networks of literary characters; -- complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces; -- dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language; -- discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature; -- emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature; -- generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry; -- identification and analysis of literary genres; -- linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains; -- modelling dialogue literary style for generation; -- modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; -- profiling and authorship attribution; -- research infrastructure and standardisation efforts in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; -- searching for scientific and/or scholarly literature. Information for Authors We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers, we will consider short papers and system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers. Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references. A short paper / demo can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, with one (1) additional page of references. A position paper -- clearly marked as such -- should not exceed six (6) pages including references. All submissions are to use the ACL stylesheets (either .sty and .bst or .dot). Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF, via the LaTeCH-CLfL2018 submission website: https://www.softconf.com/coling2018/ws-LaTeCH-CLfL2018/ Reviewing will be double-blind. Please do not include the authors' names and affiliations, or any references to Web sites, project names, acknowledgements and so on -- anything that immediately reveals the authors' identity. Self-references should be kept to a reasonable minimum, and anonymous citations cannot be used. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, and later available in the ACL Anthology. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: May 25, 2018 Notification of acceptance: June 20, 2018 Camera-ready papers due: June 30, 2018 Workshop date: August 20 or 21, 2017 More on the organisers Beatrice Alex, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Language Science and Technology, Saarland University Anna Feldman, Department of Linguistics & Department of Computer Science, Montclair State University Anna Kazantseva, National Research Council of Canada Nils Reiter, Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), Stuttgart University _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-2.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 1BFD9C1B; Tue, 20 Mar 2018 10:55:45 +0100 (CET) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 976FEBC5; Tue, 20 Mar 2018 10:55:43 +0100 (CET) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id C802CBC4; Tue, 20 Mar 2018 10:55:37 +0100 (CET) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180320095537.C802CBC4@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2018 10:55:37 +0100 (CET) Subject: [Humanist] 31.713 events: digital classics cfp; feminist interventions; summer institute X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180320095545.20138.64621@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 713.

Pamela Caughie, Niamh McGuigan, and Kyle Roberts Transformative Digital Humanities ------------------------------------------------------------ In 2018, how have digital humanities scholars taken up the call to expand the literary and historical canon to include groups that have been understudied or misrepresented by the print record? What does an intersectional, feminist DH methodology look like, who or what is it transforming, and how might we practice it in our own institutions? Transformative Digital Humanities: Feminist Interventions in Structure, Representation, and Practice asks how digital work might better support the knowledge and cultural production of women and people of color. We invite humanities scholars, librarians, archivists, digital historians, and others to connect and participate in a day of discussion that will address questions about the organizational and technical infrastructures needed to support transformative digital research, and consider alternative modes of representing gender and race in digital archives. 23 March 2018, 9:00am - 5:30 pm Klarchek Information Commons, 4th Floor Loyola University Chicago Sponsored by Loyola University Chicago: College of Arts and Sciences, University Libraries, the Gannon Center for Women and Leadership, the Center for Textual Studies and Digital Humanities, the English Department, and the Martin J.

The biennial Biographical Data in a Digital World Conference series started in 2015 in Amsterdam and was followed up in 2017 in Linz. BD2015: http://www.biographynet.nl/biographical-data-in-a-digital-world/ BD2017: https://sites.google.com/view/bd2017/home The conference series aims at bringing together researchers from the humanities and the computer sciences to exchange experiences, methods and practices with respect to ICT-mediated quantitative and qualitative analysis of biographical data. What can we do already with computational methods with the huge amount of digital biographical data that is available? What will we be able to do in the future? What will we not be able to do? Based on previous years, we expect around 50-80 participants. The preferred dates for BD2019 are in collocation with a relevant event (if also geographically close) or early Spring 2019, but some flexibility is possible. As local organisers you will be responsible for advertising and hosting the conference. You will work closely together with the program chairs, who are responsible for the contents of the conference and the conference proceedings. In your bid please state the following: 1. Host Institution + planned location for BD2019 2. Organisers, names and affiliations 3. A short motivation + any benefits of your location. This may include: - Infrastructure (how to reach from airports, by public transport, places to stay) - Proximity/accessibility for conference delegates - Possibilities of co-locating the event with related events (so people traveling can visit multiple events in one trip) - Facilities: e.g. rooms that are available for presentations and poster sessions 4. Costs that have to be covered by people attending the conference. Note that we prefer to keep this an accessible, ideally fee-free or low-fee conference. Rooms and services provided can be very basic. This includes: - Estimated conference fee - Estimated accommodation costs for participants - Estimated costs for meals (lunch/dinner) if not included in the conference fee 5. Preference for a 1 or 2 day conference 6. Options for (approximate) dates for the conference Please send your bid before April 30 2018 to bd2017_editors@googlegroups.com Bids will be evaluated based on components 3 (motivation) and 4 (costs). In case of equal or close ranking, preference will be given to locations that are further removed from the host cities of the last two BDs. A decision will be made by May 31st, 2018.

The Summer University takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session, teaser sessions and a panel discussion. The WORKSHOP PROGRAMME is composed of the following courses running in parallel (for more information see: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/953): Alex Bia (Universidad Miguel Hernández, Elche, Spain): XML-TEI document encoding, structuring, rendering and transformation (2 weeks) Carol Chiodo (Yale University, USA) / Lauren Tilton (University of Richmond, USA): Hands on Humanities Data Workshop - Creation, Discovery and Analysis (2 weeks) Isabel Fuhrmann (Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften Berlin, Germany) / Erhard Hinrichs / Yana Strakatova (Universität Tübingen, Germany): Collocations from a multilingual perspective: theory, tools, and applications (1st week) Nils Reiter / Sarah Schulz (Universität Stuttgart, Germany): Reflected Text Analysis in the Digital Humanities (2nd week) David Joseph Wrisley (New York University Abu Dhabi, UAE) / Randa El Khatib (University of Victoria, Canada): Humanities Data and Mapping Environments (2 weeks) Laszlo Hunyadi / István Szekrényes (University of Debrecen, Hungary): Building and analysing multimodal corpora (2 weeks) Maciej Eder (Polish Academy of Sciences / Pedagogical University, Cracow, Poland) / Jeremi Ochab (Jagiellonian University, Cracow, Poland): Stylometry (2 weeks) Christoph Draxler (Universität München, Germany) / Thorsten Trippel (Eberhard-Karls Universität Tübingen, Germany): Asking questions to data in the humanities: right, correct, efficient (Introducing and comparing XQuery, SQL, SPARQL for data from the humanities) (2 weeks) Peter Bell (Heidelberg Academy of Science and Humanities, Germany) / Leonardo Impett (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland): Computer Vision Intervention.

The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. As in former years we will be able to offer a whole range of scholarships to participants of the Summer University. 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. If you have questions with respect to the European Summer University please direct them to esu_ct@uni-leipzig.de ESU DH C & T is a member of the International Digital Humanities Training Network.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2018 21:14:22 +0000 From: Hannah Jacobs Subject: Dictionary of Art Historians Launches New Site Biographical Dictionary of Historic Art Historians Launches Rebirth March 21, 2018. Duke University, Durham, NC A thirty-year-old resource emerged today as a modern reference tool for art history. The Dictionary of Art Historians, www.arthistorians.info, announced a new interface, data structure, and user options, the product of a year-long redesign. The original tool, a website since 1996, was developed privately by Lee Sorensen, the art and visual studies librarian at Duke University. Duke’s Wired! Lab for digital art history & visual culture sponsored the project beginning in 2016. The new DAH offers searchable data on over 2400 art historians, museum directors, and art-writers of western art from all time periods. Over 200 academic websites have linked to the project; the tool has been called one of the core tools of art historiography and cited in books and journal articles. Begun pre-internet in 1986 as a card file, the project addressed a lack of information on the intellectual heritage that art historians created or used in writing art histories. “Before the DAH, it was impossible to discover even simple things like an art historian’s scholarly reputation, his/her core writings or even under whom they studied,” Sorensen said. “These things are important when reading a text or trying to understand the errors of past research.” “The project’s redesign recognizes twenty-first-century scholars’ need to access information in the DAH using multiple digital research methods,” said Hannah Jacobs, Wired!’s digital humanities specialist responsible for the redesign, “It redefines the project content as data that can be mined at both micro and macro levels. By standardizing the data and developing new ways to access the data, we are making methods such as text mining, data analysis, and data visualization possible for our audiences.” The new Dictionary of Art Historians site will continue to be developed over the coming year. New features to be released include * Additional filtering capabilities on the “Explore” page; * Ability to export filtered entries in open data formats; * Additional resources for citation management; * New data fields; * New and updated entries. The Dictionary of Art Historians continues to accept contributions. Please submit feedback about the project, new entries, or edits to existing entries to contact@arthistorians.info. --- Hannah L.

This year we have made some new, and hopefully fun and engaging, changes to the format of the event that we hope will entice many of you to submit proposals and plan on attending and participating in the event. Come to Los Angeles and spend some time with fellow BitCurator users and other folks doing digital forensics work! See below for all the details. Call for Proposals BitCurator Users Forum 2018 Living on the Edge: Extending Digital Forensics into New Sectors The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) invites proposals for the 2018 BitCurator Users Forum , to be held September 13-14 at the University of California, Los Angeles. An international, community-led organization with 27 member institutions, the BCC promotes and supports the application of digital forensics tools and practices in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations. As cultural heritage institutions borrow and adapt forensic techniques from criminal investigation, repurposing these context-specific forensic tools raises new questions and possibilities for engaging with born-digital materials. We want to hear your experiences and visions of how digital forensics affects your work. In previous BitCurator Users Forums we have focused on sharing strategies, approaches, and best practices for using digital forensics tools and methods within processing workflows in archives, libraries, and museums. While we still encourage proposals in these topic areas, this year we are seeking to expand the scope and discussions on digital forensics to new areas including, but not limited to personal digital archiving, digital humanities research, and data privacy. We particularly welcome participation from organizations and individuals working outside of academic and special collections libraries, as well as individuals working outside of the United States. Please note that the BitCurator Users Forum is open to all. You don't need to be a BCC member to submit a proposal and/or attend the event. The first day of the BitCurator Users Forum will feature an introduction to digital forensics workshop aimed at practitioners who are just getting started working with digital forensics tools and methods. This workshop will include an overview of digital forensics concepts, and will mostly focus on hands-on exercises and activities. For attendees looking to dive a little deeper into specific topics or issues, day one will also feature a "Let's-Do-This-a-thon"--a collaborative working session for which we are seeking suggestions of topics, hare-brained project ideas, problems, issues, etc. We invite submissions in advance (more details below) but will provide time at the beginning of day one for attendees to self-organize around topics and interests. The second day will include a mix of panels, presentations, and lightning talks. We invite proposals for the following session formats: * "Let's-do-this-a-thon" working sessions * Presentations * Panels * Lightning Talks Submission Information "Let's-do-this-a-thon" sessions Inspired by OpenCon's Do-A-Thon http://doathon.opencon2017.org/ , we are organizing activities on day one around this model of quickly forming small groups to start getting things done. We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, problems/challenges, project ideas, workflow issues, theoretical musings, etc. These sessions do not have to be technical in nature / focus, and could include topics such as: * sharing best practices on description of born-digital materials * outreach and advocacy * training strategies for public services staff * tools / scripts that you want to start building * works-in-progress you'd like to get feedback on Presentations 1 - 2 presenters, 45 - 60 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. This format is intended for one or two speakers presenting a single perspective, piece of research, or practical investigation. We encourage presentations to move beyond the case study and address pressing issues, best practices, opportunities for collaboration, visions, and expanded uses for digital forensics in libraries, archives, and museums. Panels Individual or group submissions welcome. 3 - 5 presenters, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract. If submitting as an solo speaker, individual panelists may be matched by the BCC Program Committee based on complementarity of subjects or overarching themes. We encourage panels to represent a range of professional backgrounds and experience. Proposals that include diverse perspectives (i.e., faculty, students, researchers, community members, archivists, and/or multiple institutions) are strongly encouraged. Alternative panel formats (pecha kucha, lightning talks followed by small group discussions, or others) that will facilitate dialogue and enlarge participation are also invited. Lightning Talks 1 presenter, 5-12 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Lightning talks are a great format for case studies, digital forensics "success stories" or "tragic tales," and research updates. Other session formats are welcome, especially sessions that incorporate interactivity and audience participation. Topics We invite presentations that address any topic related to digital forensics. Topics of particular interest include: * case studies: specific applications of digital forensics in a variety of domains - architecture, design, art, manuscripts, organizational records, museum collections, corporate archives, digital humanities, investigative journalism, personal digital archiving, to name some examples - and with different types of materials, such as records, manuscripts, digital art, or research data * access to born-digital materials: how are organizations providing access? What description, software, hardware, and policies are used? * training: teaching and learning in digital preservation, forensics, and archives, including advocacy, "in-reach," and cross-training across roles within organizations * ethical concerns: how privacy and security, donor relations, institutional risk tolerance, and other ethical issues affect forensic analysis * tool integrations: developing workflows that connect multiple digital curation systems * process automation: use of scripting and related methods to support efficiency Review The BCC Program Committee will review and accept abstracts based on their relevance to the conference theme and audience; the clarity of description; and their potential for inspiring discussion, collaboration, and innovation.

The webinar is free and open to the public and will be held on April 20, 2018 at 12pm ET. Please register for the webinar here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bcc-webinar-bitcurator-nlp-project-registration-44407401734 The BitCurator NLP project has been developing software for collecting institutions to extract, analyze, and produce reports on features of interest in text extracted from born-digital materials. The project is adapting existing natural language processing (NLP) software to identify and report on items likely to be relevant to ongoing preservation, information organization, and access, including entities (e.g. persons, places, and organizations), potential relationships among entities, and topic models to provide insight into how concepts are naturally clustered within the documents. In this webinar current versions of BCA Webtools and the BitCurator NLP tools will be demonstrated. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of future directions.The webinar will be led by Cal Lee and Kam Woods from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science.There are no prerequisites for this webinar. However, it is designed for users already familiar with the basic operations of the BitCurator environment. The webinar will be roughly one hour, including at least 10 minutes for Q&A at the end. The webinar will be recorded and made available publicly on the BitCurator Consortium website.

We would be much obliged if your could disseminate the call to HUMANIST readers. Best wishes, Cornelius Puschmann ***Visiting Postdoctoral Fellowships “Algorithmed Public Spheres” (Deadline: May 1st)*** SUMMARY: The Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research in Hamburg, Germany, invites applications for international postdoctoral research fellows who will conduct innovative research on the social and cultural impact of algorithms during stays of 3-12 months in Hamburg in the academic year 2018/2019. DESCRIPTION: The Hans Bredow Institute for Media Research is a publicly funded research institute that focuses on the study of mediated public communication. Its research encompasses both broadcast and digital communication from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. The postdoctoral research network Algorithmed Public Spheres ( https://aps.hans-bredow-institut.de/) has been established to study the relevance of algorithms for the constitution of the public sphere. We emphasize in particular the importance of algorithms for filtering, ranking and selecting media content and for structuring digital communication. In contrast to the use of data mining in areas such as healthcare, credit scoring and general business analytics, where such techniques have a long tradition, the impact of algorithms on the public sphere poses novel challenges. How are communication, media, and public discourse impacted by transferring the dominant logics of consumption from other industries to news, information, and political deliberation, implemented in social media platforms, search engines, and on news websites? How do we adapt as individuals as well as as a society to the growing prevalence of algorithmic systems? Research in this area could include: - Governance of and by algorithms - Algorithm awareness and algorithm literacy - Measurement of algorithmic bias and discrimination - Algorithms in news production, distribution and consumption processes - User interaction with and rationalization of algorithms We invite applications for international postdoctoral research fellows from fields including, but not restricted to, computer and information science, communication and media studies, law, political science, sociology and philosophy, who will conduct innovative research on the social and cultural impact of algorithms during stays of 3-12 months in Hamburg in the academic year 2018/2019. We particularly welcome cross-cutting research proposals that integrate technical and social perspectives and result in concrete outcomes, for example in the form of peer-reviewed research articles or proposals for externally funded projects. Up to two funded fellowships will be awarded as result of this call. The fellowships cover airfare and a contribution to the accommodation and subsistence in Hamburg. In specific cases, we may offer a temporary employment contract instead of a scholarship. To apply, please send a cover letter (one page), a project proposal (up to three pages) and your CV (up to four pages), including a list of your most relevant publications (maximum of five), to Cornelius Puschmann ( c.puschmann@hans-bredow-institut.de). Please note that applications submitted after the deadline will not be considered.

The workshop will take place at the London School of Economics and Political Science, on the 19th of April. Science abounds with visual materials: exemplary objects, 3D models, photos, diagrams, maps, graphs. Scholars in the history, philosophy and social studies of science have highlighted various features and roles of these objects and the practices in which they are embedded, including reasoning, speculation, demonstration, illustration, communication and others. This workshop focusses on the association of visual practices with narratives in knowledge making. In some cases, visual objects embed narrative qualities in themselves; in other cases, narratives are needed to make sense of the visual materials. To learn more about the Narrative Science project as a whole, please see the special issue we recently published in Vol. 62 of Studies in History and Philosophy of Science. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/studies-in-history-and-philosophy-of-science-part-a/vol/62/suppl/C Workshop spaces are very limited. If you are interested in attending, please write to Dr Robert Meunier as soon as possible: r.meunier@lse.ac.uk PhD travel bursaries To increase participation from the postgraduate community, we are making available 4 travel bursaries, each of a maximum of £250. These can be used to recover the cost of train or airfare for those who wish to attend, and who are currently enrolled on a PhD programme, preferably with research interests directly related to the workshop agenda. To apply for a PhD travel bursary please write to Dr Dominic Berry: D.J.Berry@lse.ac.uk Please include: Your name University Affiliation PhD Programme and thesis title And no more than 100 words on how this workshop relates to your research. The deadline for applications to the travel bursary is Friday 6th of April. You will be notified as to the outcome of your application shortly thereafter. Applicants will be selected to ensure a diverse range of research interests and institutions are represented.  _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id CB6151CED; Tue, 27 Mar 2018 07:14:32 +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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id DEFE71C4D; Tue, 27 Mar 2018 07:14:29 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 27A561D9B; Tue, 27 Mar 2018 07:14:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180327051424.27A561D9B@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 27 Mar 2018 07:14:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.725 imaging summer school (Antwerp); communications institute (San Diego) 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: <20180327051431.25210.9646@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 725.

CFP: 2018 Digital Frontiers/IDRH Conference: Finding Community in Digital Humanities Oct 4-5, 2018 University of Kansas Abstracts of up to 250 words due April 6. https://digital-frontiers.org/conference/2018/info/call-proposals ======= Digital scholarship happens at the convergence of a range of disciplines, technologies, and communities. Digital Frontiers is an annual conference that seeks to explore, celebrate, question, and disrupt these intersections in order to advance an inclusive dialog that spans boundaries and highlights unlikely connections in the field of Digital Humanities. In 2018, the Digital Frontiers community is joining forces with the Digital Humanities Forum held annually at University of Kansas’s Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities (IDRH). These two dynamic communities unite to celebrate digital scholarship as a diverse and growing field of humanist inquiry. The theme for the 2018 Digital Frontiers/IDRH Conference is Finding Community in Digital Humanities. When the diversity of disciplines, technologies, and communities involved in DH converge, we are often confronted with novel and/or previously uninvestigated approaches to the field. How do these aspects overlap? Where do they diverge? Each community brings its own voice and perspective, often urging us to interrogate the assumptions hidden within our own work. This conference's theme asks participants to examine these intersections and bring us into dialogue with one another. Aside from disciplinary and research communities in the Digital Humanities, we also frame communities as those of lived experiences: international communities, marginalized communities and communities of resistance, classroom communities, digital communities, and others. The Digital Frontiers Program Committee invites proposals for the 2018 conference (October 4-5). The planning committee practices intentional inclusion and encourages submissions from researchers, students, librarians archivists, genealogists, historians, information and technology professionals, and scientists. We welcome perspectives from all individuals and are interested in fostering a dialog of critical, self-reflexive DH invested in different vectors of identity and encourage research produced by or concerning vulnerable and marginalized communities, historically or contemporaneously. In keeping with our focus on communities, we encourage submissions on DH praxis grounded in and accountable to the needs and ethics of local communities. Conference content may include: * Fully Constituted Panels * Individual Scholarly Papers or Presentations * (Note: early stage research, project updates, and single-institution “case studies” should be submitted as posters) * Hands-On Workshops * Posters or Infographics Proposals will be double-blind peer reviewed, with final decisions made by the Program Committee. The Program Committee will be favorably disposed toward content that addresses the work, needs, or other aspects of: * Disciplinary and research communities in the digital humanities and collaboration among, between, and across scholarly communities: #altac and hybrid careers in DH, DH in Cultural Memory and GLAM institutions, Digital Humanities applications in the social sciences and humanities. * Digital Communities in praxis: digital pedagogies, socio-technical infrastructures for sustaining digital scholarship, digital scholarship in city- or region-focused studies in the U.S. Southwest and Midwest. * Marginalized communities and communities of resistance: social justice in digital communities, disability studies in DH, digital race studies, queer DH, antifascist DH, postcolonial digital humanities, digital feminisms, digital indigenous studies. * International communities: postcolonial DH, research in languages other than English and from non-Euro American contexts, digital scholarship in city- or region-focused studies in the global south. * Classroom communities: STEAM/Art + Science Intersections, DH in Music/Musicology, Digital Methods in Arts Education, Open Educational Resources (DH+OER), Higher Ed and Net Neutrality --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 15:48:25 +0000 From: Leah Henrickson Subject: CfP: 'The Book in the Digital Age' Book History Research Network Study Day (24/10/2018) Happy Monday, all! Please see the below call for papers for the Book History Research Network's upcoming 'Book in the Digital Age' Study Day. Do forward this call as you see fit. Book History Research Network Study Day: The Book in the Digital Age Loughborough University (UK) 24 October 2018 Digital technologies are changing the ways we produce, disseminate, and consume texts. Texts may take traditionally tangible forms, but they may also now take coded forms, physically accessible only through desktop and mobile media. Our perceptions of extant textual artefacts also change in light of increasing digitisation. New digital tools for textual scholarship are regularly released; book historians now enjoy access to vast digital archives of textual material. Indeed, digital technologies allow us to engage with extant textual artefacts in new ways, while at the same time offering new avenues for text production and reception. This study day, held at Loughborough University, will explore the new prospects afforded to book history scholarship by increasingly digital circumstances. It will do so through two types of presentations: 20-minute paper presentations and 15-minute presentations of digital tools of particular interest to book historians. Some questions to explore include, but are not limited to: * How do digital technologies contribute to new ways of considering texts and books? * How is the format of the printed book changing in response to a demand for digital texts? What is the relationship between print and digital? * Who does and does not have access to digital tools and databases related to texts and books? * How are new ideas shared, developed, and engaged with using digital tools? * How do digital tools facilitate or hinder book history research and textual scholarship? * What do digital technologies enhance? What do they obsolesce? * How have perceptions of tangible books changed in light of cultural digitisation? * Where does the book fit within our digital world? Papers from postgraduate students and early career scholars are particularly welcome. Please send a 250-word abstract and 50-word biography to l.r.henrickson@lboro.ac.uk or rebecca.emmett@plymouth.ac.uk by 22 August 2018. Please specify whether you wish to give a 20-minute paper presentation or a 15-minute digital tool presentation.

The application of agent-based modelling to the field of Archaeology is gaining momentum in recent years. The problems tackled are especially complex as a lot of phenomena need to be combined. Examples are: land use and change, population dynamics, social interaction, innovation and movement in geographical space. Because time and its representation are critical aspects, the representation and implementation of dynamical networks is especially important to archaeological ABMs. Deadlines: Extended abstracts (3-4 pages) or full papers (max 12 pages) should be submitted until 06.04.2018 via EasyChair, https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ssc20180. We look forward to your contribution to this session! Best wishes, Frederik Schaff ------------ Dr. Frederik Schaff a.

True, the word ‘Plague’ had been uttered; true, at this very moment one or two victims were being seized & laid low by the disease. Still, that cld stop, or be stopped. It was only a matter of lucidly recognising what had to be recognised; of expelling extraneous shadows & doing what needed to be done. Then the Plague wld come to an end, because it was unthinkable, or, rather, because one thought of it on misleading lines. If, as was most likely, it died out, all wld be well. If not, one wld know it anyhow for what it was.” (Albert Camus) “From an epidemic point of view, the Plague is the only disease exactly resembling art.” (Antonin Artaud) The revolution is now. Plague City, year zero. A contemporary retelling of Boccaccio’s *Decameron*, played-out against the backdrop of the 2000 Prague anti-globalisation riots, *DEATH MASK SUTRA* is a relentless parody of neoliberal economics & light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel political irrealism. https://alienistmanifesto.wordpress.com/2018/03/01/death-mask-sutra/ --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Mar 2018 12:38:13 +0000 From: Sarah Thorne Subject: CFP: Access, Control, and Dissemination in DH Dear colleagues, Please find below the call for contributions to our edited collection, Access, Control, and Dissemination in Digital Humanities. The call can also be found online at dhworkshop.ca/cfp2018/ — Call for Chapters: Access, Control, and Dissemination in Digital Humanities (Edited book for Routledge) While DH is seen by some as especially interdisciplinary or more conducive to group work, linked data, and open research, including both access to results and participation in research itself, the very nature of its connectedness creates challenges for researchers who wish to assert control of data, have some role in how data is used or how work is acknowledged, and how it is attributed and recorded. Researchers involved in any substantial DH project must confront similar questions: who should be allowed to make reproductions of artifacts, which ones, how many, how often, of what quality and at what cost, what are the rights of possession and reproduction, including access, copyright, intellectual property rights or digital rights management. Given the potential of open and accessible data, it is sometimes suggested that DH might be a much-needed bridge between ivory tower institutions and the general public. The promise of DH in this regard, however, still remains in many ways unfulfilled, raising the question of who DH is for, if not solely for bodies of like-minded academics. Contributors to this volume have varied experiences with applications for digital technology in the classroom, in museums and archives, and with the general public and they present answers to these problems from a variety of perspectives. Digital Humanities is not a homogeneous enterprise, and we find that DH functions differently in different fields across the humanities and is put to different ends with varying results. As a result, one may already (fore)see DH moving in distinct directions in individual academic fields, but whether this splintering will have a positive effect or is an indication that disciplines are retreating to their respective silos, remains to be seen. We need to understand better how such differences are communicated among various fields, and how those results are adopted, not to mention evaluated, and by whom. This volume addresses these issues with concrete examples from researchers in the field. The editors have been working with Routledge to prepare a proposal for publication. Successful submissions will be included in a proposed volume based on a workshop held at Carleton University in May, 2016 (http://dhworkshop.ca/). Editors: Dr. Richard Mann, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario mail: Richard.Mann@carleton.ca Dr. Shane Hawkins, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario mail: shane_hawkins@carleton.ca Proposals Submission Deadline: 01 May 2018 Notification of Acceptance: 31 May 2018 Submission Date: 30 November 2018 Submission Procedure You are invited to submit a word document with title of the proposal and abstract (500-800 words) and a CV.

The availability of large digital corpora (e.g. books, newspapers, social media) is creating new opportunities for scholars in the humanities and the social sciences. The application of modern big-data analysis techniques to these datasets can provide new insights into society, culture and history, enabling (not replacing) scholars. Recent work has shown how the analysis of historical newspapers can reveal information about trends, biases, and changes in our past; how social media content can carry information about social transitions and attitudes; and how digitised books could teach us something about language and culture. As some of these tasks could not realistically be performed by hand, while others cannot be fully automated, an important debate in this area concerns which kind of questions should be addressed by semi-automated means, and how humans and machines can best complement each other. We will discuss aspects concerned with the mass-acquisition of digital text from historical documents; the acquisition of behavioural observations from web users; the analysis of this data by automated means; and the use of text for psychometric analysis. We will debate what is now possible by applying quantitative thinking in the humanities and social sciences, based on the present data and technologies; what we can learn about ourselves from this digital data; how can there be a productive collaboration between data science, social science and humanities; and what cannot or should not be left to machines. This workshop will try to identify the current state of the art, and the forthcoming challenges.

Please find the call below. Best, Dr Geraldine Castel, Senior Lecturer Grenoble Alpes University, France English Studies and Digital Humanities In the last decades, digital Humanities have become ubiquitous both in France and abroad. Manifestoes have been drafted, research teams gathered, chairs created, projects funded. Taking a moment to look back on the transformation of a field whose very definition is itself controversial might thus prove useful. Oxymoron for some, genuine revolution for others, ephemeral utopia, pragmatic choice or inevitable and lasting evolution, the digital humanities are far from a consensual area. However, at the heart of the various etymological and epistemological debates or sometimes parallel to them, digital humanities’ initiatives have been multiplying and English studies, i.e studies exploring the production and analysis of texts created in English, have been no exception. Consequently, this issue of Représentations dans le monde anglophone proposes to gather feedback from researchers from the various disciplines of English studies in France and abroad in order to map out this digital migration of contemporary research at the level of its instruments, its objects, its fields of study and its methods (Bourdeloie 2014). To comply with the editorial line of the journal, this issue aims in particular at carrying out a reflection on the relationship between practices and discourse in the field of the digital humanities. Indeed, in its most frequent representation, research in the digital humanities is associated with notions of modernity, openness, objectivity, reliability, or even representativeness, but this vision coexists with other forms of representations, less canonical and sometimes more critical of the transformations related to this gradual digital migration in science at different stages of the research process, from the generation of corpora to the dissemination of results. Authors are therefore invited to present their projects whilst at the same time assessing their practical experience against their initial representations and expectations. Please send your abstracts (500 words approx.), in English or in French, before April 18, 2018 to Geraldine Castel at the Grenoble Alpes university (Geraldine.castel@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr). _______________________________________________ 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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 859EC1DB1; Thu, 29 Mar 2018 07:19:42 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id B3AB31A57; Thu, 29 Mar 2018 07:19:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 381911D98; Thu, 29 Mar 2018 07:19:31 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20180329051931.381911D98@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2018 07:19:31 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.733 linked open data?

We're also keen to reach out to librarians, curators, archivists and others who work with digital historical materials, geo-spatial information and/or Linked Open Data (LOD), and who may not know anything about Pelagios. With these two groups in mind, we would be extremely grateful if you could take a few minutes to fill out this survey to let us know who you are, what you think about LOD in general, and whether / how you use our tools and services in particular. The survey should take no more than 7 minutes to complete. All information shared will be kept private, and respondents will have the choice whether to share their contact details or not.

It will convene two international two-week meetings, the first at King’s College London, and the second at the Swedish Institute in Athens, where Members of the Institute will survey, analyse and debate the current state of digital art history, and map out its future research agenda. It will also design and develop a Proof of Concept (PoC) to help deliver this agenda. The source code for this PoC will be made available online, and will form the basis for further discussions, development of research questions and project proposals after the end of the programme. To achieve these aims we will bring together leading experts in the field to offer a multi-vocal and interdisciplinary perspective on three areas of pressing concern to digital art history: ● Provenance, the meta-information about ancient art objects, ● Geographies, the paths those objects take through time and space, and ● Visualization, the methods used to render art objects and collections in visual media. We are now inviting applications for membership, which will include all expenses for attending the meetings.

Its power lies in the ability to theorize about the environment, to make implicit knowledge explicit, to generalize given knowledge and to gain new insights. There are a lot of findings in cognitive science research which are based on experimental data about reasoning tasks, among others models for the Wason selection task or the suppression task discussed by Byrne and others. This research is supported also by brain researchers, who aim at localizing reasoning processes within the brain. Early work often used propositional logic as a normative framework. Any deviation from it has been considered an error. Central results like findings from the Wason selection task or the suppression task inspired a shift from propositional logic and the assumption of monotonicity in human reasoning towards other reasoning approaches. This includes but is not limited to models using probabilistic approaches, mental models, or non-monotonic logics. Considering cognitive theories for syllogistic reasoning show that none of the existing theories is close to the existing data. But some formally inspired cognitive complexity measures can predict human reasoning difficulty for instance in spatial relational reasoning. Automated deduction, on the other hand, is mainly focusing on the automated proof search in logical calculi. And indeed there is tremendous success during the last decades. Recently a coupling of the areas of cognitive science and automated reasoning is addressed in several approaches. For example there is increasing interest in modeling human reasoning within automated reasoning systems including modeling with answer set programming, deontic logic or abductive logic programming. There are also various approaches within AI research for common sense reasoning and in the meantime there even exist benchmarks for commonsense reasoning, like the Winograd and the COPA challenge. Despite a common research interest - reasoning - there are still several milestones necessary to foster a better interdisciplinary research. First, to develop a better understanding of methods, techniques, and approaches applied in both research fields. Second, to have a synopsis of the relevant state-of-the-art in both research directions. Third, to combine methods and techniques from both fields and find synergies. E.g., techniques and methods from computational logic have never been directly applied to model adequately human reasoning. They have always been adapted and changed. Fourth, we need more and better experimental data that can be used as a benchmark system. Fifth, cognitive theories can benefit from a computational modeling. Hence, both fields - human and automated reasoning - can both contribute to these milestones and are in fact a conditio sine qua non. Achievements in both fields can inform the others. Deviations between fields can inspire to seek a new and profound understanding of the nature of reasoning. This is the fourth workshop in a series of successful Bridging the Gap BetweenHuman and Automated Reasoning workshops. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - benchmark problems relevant in both fields - approaches to tackle Benchmark problems like the Winograd Schema Challenge or the COPA challenge - limits and differences between automated and human reasoning - psychology of deduction and common sense reasoning - logics modeling human reasoning - non-monotonic, defeasible, and classical reasoning The workshop is part of the FAIM workshop program located at the Federated Artificial Intelligence Meeting (FAIM) which includes the major conferences IJCAI, ECAI, ICML, AAMAS, ICCBR and SoCS. The Bridging workshop is supported by IFIP TC12.

In the long term it aims to include all place names mentioned in ancient sources (GeoRef table, now 217506 attestations), but also all places where texts from the ancient world (800 BC - AD 800) have been found or written (GeoTex table, now 752200 provenances). Right now, however, only place names mentioned in documents from Egypt and those occurring in Latin inscriptions have been systematically connected (see below coverage). ----- Dear all, The new Trismegistos Places (www.trismegistos.org/geo) is now live. We think it is a real 2.0 version, with more faceted searching, pie charts, timelines and better export possibilities. It is part of a continuing effort to update our interface (after Collections (www.trismegistos.org/coll), Editors (www.trismegistos.org/edit), Words (www.trismegistos.org/words), and Authors (www.trismegistos.org/authors)). We hope the new site is more intuitive and user-friendly than the complicated search forms of the old version, but make sure to read the About page to know what you are looking at. And remember that Trismegistos is not complete … We’re also preparing video’s to show how everything works, but we’re also happy to come and give workshops to demonstrate all functionalities of Trismegistos for those who want. Of course we know there are still many things to be corrected, especially when it comes to coordinates. We hope you can help us with that, and we plan to cooperate closer with projects like Pleiades and Pelagios to improve on this and other things (we are working on an API, for example). In the mean time, we have made it easier for you to send an email to Herbert Verreth, our Monsieur Toponyme. Please enjoy TM Places as much as we have enjoyed creating it!

These thoughts were sparked by an article in Saturday's Globe & Mail by John Semley "Reading ulysses? YouTube might help" The author takes on the reading of the novel some years after an initial foray and makes abundant use of resources available online. I referred time and agin to a fairly detailed Wikipedia entry. I downloaded a Great Courses lecture series dedicated to Ulysses and even picked up a copy of Homer's The Odyssey (Penguin's Robert Fagles translation, worth it for Bernard Knox's introduction and notes alone), after which Joyce's Ulysses was famously modelled. Chapter by chapter, lecture by lecture, I carefully staked through Joyce's bustling Dublin, making thorough use of online guides, essays, reviews, YouTube videos and other newfangled tools that might have made me feel like a fraud when I was an undergrad. A few dozen pages in and Ulysses started to feel less daunting. Somewhere along the line, I even began enjoying myself.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 14:02:46 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: the electric sense of analogy In his essay "Going beyond the information given" (1957), Jerome Bruner identifies two aspects of creativity: "the inventive activity involved in constructing highly generic and widely appropriate coding systems" and "the development of a readiness to utilize appropriately already acquired coding systems." About the latter he remarks that, "James long ago called this 'the electric sense of analogy'..." (p. 12). Bruner does not give a reference. As far as I have been able to discover, William James -- I am assuming Bruner is not referring to Henry! -- never used this phrase. It is not in the Harvard University Press authoritative edition of 1983 (with a fine introduction by George Miller) nor in the two-volume edition published by Henry Holt in 1890. For obvious reasons James both refers to electricity as a phenomenon of nature and uses it metaphorically many times in Principles. The closest passages I can find to Bruner's quotation are these: > When an idea stings us in a certain way, makes as it were a certain > electric connection with our Self, we believe that it is a reality. > When it stings us in another way, makes another connection with our > Self, we say, let it be a reality. (p. 1172) and so by association, > ...the whole feeling of reality, the whole sting and excitement of > our voluntary life, depends on our sense that in it things are really > being decided from one moment to another, and that it is not the dull > rattling off of a chain that was forged innumerable ages ago." (p. 429) So, am I right in thinking that Bruner set down a product of his creative remembering that has subsequently been quoted as James' own phrase, wonderful and apt as it is?

Subject: Survey on Digital Humanities In-Reply-To: Dear all, Digital transformation poses challenges to the arts and humanities research landscape all over the world. DARIAH (Digital Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities) is the European ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) to enhance and develop digital humanities research in Europe. DESIR is a project funded by the European Commission that sets out to strengthen the sustainability of DARIAH and firmly establish it as a long-term leader and partner within arts and humanities communities. UNED actively participates as project partner through its Digital Humanities Innovation Lab (LINHD). We kindly ask you, as an user or a potential user of digital humanities, to fill this survey. The results will allow the assessment of current trust in DARIAH and lead to the proposal of strategies and actions that will increase confidence in DARIAH services and infrastructures. The success of this activity requires a high number of responses from the arts and humanities scientific community. This is why your contribution is such a key element and we strongly invite you to participate, using the link below.

(bjd2b)" > Subject: Updating the NDSA Levels of Preservation Dear All, The NDSA (US-based National Digital Stewardship Alliance, now hosted by the Digital Library Federation) created its landmark Levels of Preservation , Version 1.0, in 2013. You can read the original explanation for why we created the Levels here . As many of you know, the Levels document was meant to be adapted as new preservation solutions and strategies emerged. You have told us the Levels need to be updated and we have heard you. The NDSA proposes to launch a Levels of Preservation Working Group whose primary task will be to provide the methodology by which this important document can be adapted more readily—taking in the broadest possible feedback in the process. How is this different than the other NDSA Working Groups? We will not limit this group to NDSA members, though we will strongly encourage everyone to participate. The preliminary charge for this group will be: 1. Identify those actively engaged in adapting the Levels 2. Cast a wide net for those willing to engage in updating the current version 3. Create a methodology by which disparate approaches can be fully vetted and harmonized into Version 2.0 of the Levels 4. Devise an ongoing strategy by which the Levels can be adapted on a regular basis. If you are interested in participating, please fill out our form .

Please find the call below and visit our website for information on detailed topics, invited speakers and submission guidelines. Call for Papers The advent and ubiquity of digital media technologies precipitate a profound transformation of the spheres of knowledge and circuits of culture. Simultaneously, the background operation of digital systems in routines of daily life increasingly obscures the materiality and meaning of technologically induced change. Computational architectures of algorithmic governance prevail across a vast and differentiated range of institutional settings and organizational practices. Car assembly plants, warehousing, shipping ports, sensor cities, agriculture, government agencies, university campuses. These are just some of the infrastructural sites overseen by software operations designed to extract value, coordinate practices and manage populations in real-time. While Silicon Valley ideology prevails over the design and production of the artefacts, practices and institutions that mark digital cultures, the architectures and infrastructures of its operations are continually rebuilt, hacked, broken and maintained within a proliferation of sites across the globe. To analytically grasp the emerging transformations requires media and cultural studies to inquire into the epochal changes taking place with the proliferation of digital media technologies. While in many ways the digital turn has long been in process, its cultural features and effects are far from even or comprehensively known. Research needs to attend to the infrastructural and environmental registrations of the digital. Critical historiographies attend to the world-making capacities of digital cultures, situating the massive diversity of practices within specific technical systems, geocultural dynamics and geopolitical forces. At the same time the contemporaneity of digital cultures invites new methods that draw on digital media technologies as tools, and, more importantly, that engage the intersection between media technologies, cultural practices and institutional settings. New organizational forms in digital economies, new forms of association and sociality, and new subjectivizations generated from changing human-machine configurations are among the primary manifestations of the digital that challenge disciplinary capacities in terms of method. The empirics of the digital, in other words, signals a transversality at the level of disciplinarity, methods and knowledge production. This conference brings together research concerned with studying digital cultures and the ways that digital media technologies transform contemporary culture, society and economy. The hosts specifically encourage approaches to digital cultures emerging from media and cultural theory, along with transnational currents of communications, science and technology studies. We also explicitly invite researchers from digital humanities, digital anthropology, digital sociology, gender studies, postcolonial studies, urban studies, architecture, organization studies, environmental studies, geography and computer science to engage in this endeavor to develop a critical humanities and cultural studies alert to the operations, materialities and politics of digital cultures.

It has been established by the social venture Chronoscopic Education (http://chronoscopic.org/), the MarineLives project (http://www.marinelives.org/) and by social historian Dr Mark Hailwood (https://manyheadedmonster.wordpress.com/2014/10/13/the-rabble-that-cannot-read-ordinary-peoples-literacy-in-seventeenth-century-england/, Bristol). We have recently launched a Signs of Literacy GitHub organisation (https://github.com/Signsofliteracy), document repository (https://github.com/Signsofliteracy/Signoff) and wiki (https://github.com/Signsofliteracy/Signoff/wiki) to support the community. Do please take a look a look.

Since 2009 An Oral History of British Science, run by National Life Stories at the British Library, has recorded over 150 figures from the history of science and engineering in Britain. Amongst them were figures from the history of computing, people whose work stretched from the electronic brains of the 1940s to today's information driven world, along with many others who had used computers in other branches of science and technology. In this talk Dr Tom Lean, project interviewer on “An Oral History of British Science”, explores what interviews with computer developers can reveal about the history of computing in Britain, using this collection of insights to tell the personal stories behind computing developments and explore how the use of computers has impacted on work in other areas. Tom Lean is project interviewer on “An Oral History of British Science” and “An Oral History of the Electricity Supply Industry”, at National Life Stories at the British Library. Since starting on the project he has recorded life story interviews with over a hundred British scientists and engineers from a wide range of different disciplines and backgrounds. His research interests include the oral history of science and technology, history of computing (the subject of his PhD thesis and 2016 book 'Electronic Dreams: How 1980s Britain learned to love the computer') and the history of the electricity supply industry. _______________________________________________ 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=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 2042C8FE6; Sat, 7 Apr 2018 11:20:22 +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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6FC078F96; Sat, 7 Apr 2018 11:20:21 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id A47AA8F90; Sat, 7 Apr 2018 11:20:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180407092019.A47AA8F90@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2018 11:20:19 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.752 writing to be read?

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sat, 7 Apr 2018 09:57:12 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: writing to be read Many of us here know all about the scourge known as 'safelinks', which make messages close to unreadable. As a matter of course, whenever possible I purge them from all messages received by Humanist because these messages, our messages, are meant to be read; if there are too many of them I omit those portions whose information is available otherwise. I'd like to suggest that as a community (if that's the right word) we think more than we have about our readers and begin to discuss the rhetoric of online communications. How can we communicate more effectively and persuasively? For example, in a message replete with many links, how might these be composed so that reading is not bogged down if not derailed by URLs? When one URL at the top of a message is sufficient the problem is solved. When it isn't, what's the best way of handling references? I find the style of reference particularly characteristic of technical papers, in which reading is constantly interrupted by in-line references, makes articles less about communicating an argument, more about deflecting attention to the work of others, but perhaps this merely reflects my academic training. Perhaps a topic for discussion at conferences? You may be interested to know that one of the main reasons for creating Humanist back in 1987 was to replace the then thoughtlessly chaotic source of infoglut (horrid formatting, misspellings, bad grammar etc) with something for literate scholars and so to help transform 'computing and the humanities' into computing for the humanities. Still not a bad idea, I'd say.... :-) Yours, WM -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor emeritus, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 33E589AC9; Sun, 8 Apr 2018 10:46:57 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 782989AC2; Sun, 8 Apr 2018 10:46:56 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 529F69AC3; Sun, 8 Apr 2018 10:46:52 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180408084652.529F69AC3@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Sun, 8 Apr 2018 10:46:52 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.753 "the electric sense of analogy" 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: <20180408084656.7426.14554@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 753.

(J. Bruner, Selected Works,eBook) Den 2. Band der "Principles of Psychology" von 1890, den man hier wohl einsehen müßte, bekomme ich hier in Deutchland via Google Books nicht richtig zu fassen, aber Andrew Ortony (1993) zitiert daraus: " For example, William James believed that "men, taken historically, reason by analogy long before they have learned to reason by abstract characters" (James, 1890, vol. II, p. 363)." Zwanzig Jahre vor James' Principles wird in einem gleichnamigen Werk (John Basom,The Principles of Psychology, 1870) der 'eöectroc sense' im Kontext der sinnlichen Wahrnehmung erwähnt: "sense ... of an electric current" (p. 238). Google-Snippet aus James 2013, part 2 (eBook; immerhin ohne den Scanfehler "combnations" der Ausgabe von 1981) "The first abstract qualities thus formed are, no doubt, qualities of one and the same sense found in different objects—as big, sweet; next analogies between different senses, as “sharp” of taste, “high” of sound, etc.; then analogies of motor combinations, or form of relation, as simple, confused, difficult, reciprocal, relative, spontaneous, etc. The extreme degree of subtlety in analogy is reached in such cases as when we say certain English art critics' writing reminds us of a close room in ..."

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org > Date: Tue, 3 Apr 2018 14:02:46 +0100 > From: Willard McCarty > Subject: the electric sense of analogy In his essay "Going beyond the information given" (1957), Jerome Bruner identifies two aspects of creativity: "the inventive activity involved in constructing highly generic and widely appropriate coding systems" and "the development of a readiness to utilize appropriately already acquired coding systems." About the latter he remarks that, "James long ago called this 'the electric sense of analogy'..." (p. 12). Bruner does not give a reference. As far as I have been able to discover, William James -- I am assuming Bruner is not referring to Henry! -- never used this phrase. It is not in the Harvard University Press authoritative edition of 1983 (with a fine introduction by George Miller) nor in the two-volume edition published by Henry Holt in 1890. For obvious reasons James both refers to electricity as a phenomenon of nature and uses it metaphorically many times in Principles. The closest passages I can find to Bruner's quotation are these: > When an idea stings us in a certain way, makes as it were a certain > electric connection with our Self, we believe that it is a reality. > When it stings us in another way, makes another connection with our > Self, we say, let it be a reality. (p. 1172) and so by association, > ...the whole feeling of reality, the whole sting and excitement of > our voluntary life, depends on our sense that in it things are really > being decided from one moment to another, and that it is not the dull > rattling off of a chain that was forged innumerable ages ago." (p. 429) So, am I right in thinking that Bruner set down a product of his creative remembering that has subsequently been quoted as James' own phrase, wonderful and apt as it is?

The school inherits the successful pedagogic principles and the lessons learned from previous experiences and aims at being a prominent reference school for the best young researchers, PhD and master students of the Semantic Web community. ISWS takes place in the beautiful location of Bertinoro, a small village near Bologna in Italy and relies on the organisation of Valentina Presutti from CNR, Harald Sack from FIZ Karlsruhe and KIT, and York Sure from KIT. It is focused on research and its program includes lectures, invited talks, poster session, team working, and an exciting social program. All tutors and speakers of the school are renown members of the Semantic Web community and beyond. Students work very hard for a whole week and experience all main activities that a researcher faces during her/his career such as team working, problem and state of the art analysis, development of novel methods, writing of research articles and reports, presenting a research result, and also defending a thesis. ISWS combines the format of a research camp with lectures and keynote talks. To facilitate an early exchange of ideas and mentoring opportunity a poster session will also take place, where attendees will have the chance to present their work and obtain feedback on their research. The school is an exceptional opportunity for networking: all tutors stay and constantly interact with the students for the whole duration of the school. The result is that participants, typically at an early career stage, thanks to the school, build a rich social and professional network that span from junior to highly known scientists. Although ISWS features lectures and keynotes, most of the time is devoted to work in team with the tutors for developing research. Students form teams and focus on a research problem for which they study a solution under the methodological guidance of highly expert tutors. The program also introduces an element of competition among students, as prizes are awarded at the end of the week. ISWS is organised so that students have lots of fun during social activities and free time. They leave the school with great memories and satisfaction, and by having met many new good friends. Participating at ISWS 2018 means to benefit from formal and practical sessions as well as from informal and social interactions with established researchers and the other participants to the school. HOW TO APPLY We welcome applicants from anywhere in the world. Normally, but not exclusively, applicants will be postgraduate students in relevant disciplines with some knowledge of semantic and web technologies. Some basic acquaintance with knowledge representation languages for the Semantic Web (RDF, OWL, etc.) is required. The deadline for applications is the 31st March 2018. Please follow the instructions at http://isws2018.semanticwebschool.org/apply/ to apply. Accepted candidates are expected to arrive on Sunday, July 1st, between 3pm and 6pm and to participate fully in the activities of the school until its conclusion, at 2pm on Saturday, July 7th. Applicants should keep in mind that we will not consider applications from students who cannot commit themselves to a full participation for the whole duration of the school. Students are also required to bring and present a poster at the summer school, describing their own research. Apart from activities directly related to lectures, the summer school schedule features a rich social programme, which enables informal interaction between all participants to the school - i.e. students, tutors, invited speakers, school staff, etc. These events include a gala dinner,, a disco, and sport activities. STUDENT GRANTS We expect to provide a few number of grants for students who would not otherwise be able to attend the school. VENUE AND ACCOMMODATION ISWS 2018 will be located at the University Residential Center located in the small medieval hilltop town of Bertinoro. This town is in Emilia Romagna, about 50 km east of Bologna at an elevation of 230m above sea level. It can easily be reached by train and taxi from Bologna. Bertinoro is picturesque, with many narrow streets and walkways winding around the central peak. Sessions of the summer school will be held in an archiepiscopal castle that has been converted by the University of Bologna into a modern conference centre with computing facilities and Internet access. From the castle you can enjoy a beautiful vista that stretches from the Tuscan Apennines to the Adriatic coast and the Alps over the Po Valley. More information about the location are available at http://isws2018.semanticwebschool.org/venue/ The cost of the summer school, including accommodation, meals and excursion is 950€. _______________________________________________ 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=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 3457D9D0F; Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:56:43 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 303D69D0D; Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:56:42 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 1EAED9D08; Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:56:39 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180410075639.1EAED9D08@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 09:56:39 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.755 status among the disciplines 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: <20180410075642.9079.73552@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 755.

Kleitman's "On the future of combinatorics" (2000)* provides an amusing as well as enlightening analogy for digital humanists wondering about where they stand in a world structured by disciplines. Kleitman in turn dwells on the analogy of combinatorics with mathematics in regard of status, e.g. > Much of mathematics was and is motivated by potential application to > science or engineering. > > When such an application is successful, it quickly becomes absorbed > into the subject; if important, it becomes a part of the science, is > taught to students as such, and ceases to be considered mathematics. > Thus, what is left as mathematics and taught as such in areas of > application, are either preliminaries, or those subjects that have > not been successful enough or important enough to be taken over. > Thus, applied mathematics is in effect excluded from its successes. > > Of course, there is always the possibility that new mathematical > methods will be required to handle new or now ill-understood > scientific problems. Thus mathematicians represent the threat to > scientists that they may be forced to learn new tricks and to study > new and perhaps unfathomable mathematical lore. Comments?

This survey integrates an European Commission project - DESIR (INFRADEV-03-2016-2017). The survey aims to assess current trust in DH and to propose strategies and actions in order to increase confidence in services and infrastructures. The success of this activity requires a high number of responses by DH users and potential users. In this regard, we kindly ask for your support to disseminate the survey among all professors, researchers and graduated students from your institution and from other European Union institutions, using the text and link below. We thank you very much in advance for your important support. Best regards, Maria do Rosário Jorge (DESIR Researcher) _______________ Dear Professors, Researchers and Students Digital transformation poses challenges to the arts and humanities research landscape all over the world. DESIR is a project funded by the European Commission that sets out to strengthen the sustainability of digital humanities (DH). We kindly ask you, as an user or a potential user of DH, to fill this survey. The results will allow the assessment of current use of DH and lead to the proposal of strategies and actions that will increase confidence in DH services and infrastructures.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2018 09:24:06 +0000 From: Francesco Borghesi Subject: DH PhD scholarship available at WSU Fully funded PhD position in Digital Humanities available (with focus on the pre-history of Oceania). Fee waiver and scholarship included. Application deadline May 11 2018 The Digital Humanities Research Group at Western Sydney University, Australia, has recently received a national research grant (ARC Discovery): ‘Waves of Words: Mapping and Modelling Australia’s Pacific Past’ (DP180100893). The primary aim of this project is to understand Australia’s prehistory as a networked agent in a complex web of Asia-Pacific interaction. In order to achieve this, we aim to determine the extent and nature of early relationships between first peoples of Australia and the rest of Oceania by bringing together, comparing, and modelling the linguistic, anthropological and archaeological evidence. As a result of this research we also aim to: * discover what kinds of social configurations underlie different linguistic outcomes in language contact situations; and * improve our understanding of the relationship between language change and socio-cultural change and feed this back into improvements to linguistic and anthropological theory. * develop a toolkit of methods and software for integrating linguistic, anthropological and archaeological data that can be used in other regions as well. The PhD position is intended to take on a self-contained subproject within this larger scope, with some flexibility for the student’s own research interests. Examples of possible subprojects include (but are not limited to) the following: * Semantic maps for Wanderwörter in Oceania * Agent-based modelling of population interactions in the early Pacific (or pre-colonial Australia) * Development of an interdisciplinary data-visualisation platform for linguistics, anthropology and archaeology * Integration of time-based data visualisation into geographical platforms * 3D/Virtual Reality humanities data visualisation * Text mining and automatic extraction of structured data from humanities publications If a technical topic such as one of the above is chosen, the PhD project may include data from the broad area of interest to the ARC project (Oceania). Alternatively, a student with a stronger background in linguistics, anthropology or archaeology may wish to focus on a particular region that is of interest for the relationship between Australia and the Pacific (the Torres Islands, the relationship between Vanuatu and Australia, between PNG and Australia, or between parts of Indonesia and Australia (e.g. Sulawesi and/or Maluku) for example), or on a subset of the thematic domains that are of interest, e.g. plants and animals, material culture (e.g. canoes, fish hooks, and other tools), social structures (chieftainship, kinship, religion). The student will be supervised by Associate Professor Rachel Hendery (Digital Humanities Research Group) and Professor Simeon Simoff (School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics). For further context, please see the full project description linked here: https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/dhrg/digital_humanities/featured/waves_of_words . To apply, please send a CV, together with a short proposal for your project (1-2 pages) by May 4, 2018. We will then invite shortlisted candidates to submit a more detailed proposal and attend an interview (which may be via teleconference). -- Dr Rachel Hendery Associate Professor of Digital Humanities Digital Humanities Research Group School of Humanities and Communication Arts Western Sydney University Ph +61 2 9683 8164 Office: Parramatta South ED.

Kinney; Cambridge University Press, 2009) beyond problems of authorship attribution to address broader issues of literary history. Using new methods to answer long-standing questions and challenge traditional assumptions about the underlying patterns and contrasts in the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, Style, Computers, and Early Modern Drama sheds light on, for example, different linguistic usages between plays written in verse and prose, company styles, and different character types. As a shift from a canonical survey to a corpus-based literary history founded on a statistical analysis of language, this book represents a fundamentally new approach to the study of English Renaissance literature and proposes a new model and rationale for future computational scholarship in early modern literary studies. -- Willard McCarty (www.mccarty.org.uk/), Professor emeritus, Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London; Adjunct Professor, Western Sydney University; Editor, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews (www.tandfonline.com/loi/yisr20) _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 69ED89D4C; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:46:02 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 92B669D84; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:46:01 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 103F59D7F; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:45:59 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20180411074600.103F59D7F@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:45:59 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.760 status among the disciplines 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: <20180411074602.4157.50858@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 760.

Well, yes..., sort of. The following is perhaps a 'refutation by anecdote': * The Dirac delta function, string theory, and renormalisation, are all mathematical tools within particle physics which were developed by (mathematically sophisticated) theoretical physicists, but which, despite being very useful in that area, were regarded as underjustified by mathematicians. The latter then reworked the ideas, doing work which was productive from the point of view of mathematicians. That is, this is physicists' rough tools being mathematically productive. * There's a story (ie, apocrypha-alert!) of an old buffer at Cambridge in the 20s, trundling in for the start of his much-repeated lecture course on matrices (very arcane and largely useless), nearly having a heart attack to find, instead of a couple of extra-keen undergrads, theoretical physicists hanging from the rafters, who urgently needed to know how to work with Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, presented in 1925 as a novel approach to quantum mechanics. This is mathematicians' fun-and-games being unexpectedly productive as tools. (Hamiltonian mechanics and group theory have had a broadly similar journey) * G H Hardy famously (and jubilantly) cited number theory as an example of a bit of (pure, of course) mathematics that could never be of any practical use. Number theory now encrypts the connection from your computer to your bank. (I'm not sure where this fits in to the argument, but it's a nice story). If there is a distinction between theoretical physicists and applied mathematicians, it is not in the maths that they work on. Instead, the former use and develop the maths as as tool to do physics, though it's a tool they generally thoroughly enjoy using. The latter use and develop the maths because they enjoy making the tool, and they get some inspiration, and problems to solve, from the rough-work that the physicists do. That is, the difference is more in intent than practice. Pure mathematicians just amuse themselves, off in the corner, quietly (probably best not to enquire closely, but the applied mathematicians tend to keep an ear cocked in that direction, and perhaps monitor sugar intake). Thus the distinction between these disciplines is less rigid, and less transactional, than I think Kleitman is suggesting. It's not far wrong to say that the applied mathematicians are acting as intermediaries, but the tide goes in both directions, and sloshes from end to end. Best wishes, Norman -- Norman Gray : https://nxg.me.uk SUPA School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, UK --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 11:30:48 -0400 From: Don Braxton Subject: Regarding Post "status among the disciplines" In-Reply-To: <20180410075639.1EAED9D08@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> In response to the highlighted section below, two observations occur to me. My observations should be seen in the context of someone not connected to innovation in mathematics but in Digital Humanities. First, the highlighted section begins with the phrase "taught to students". I would suggest it is more complicated than that. In my teaching of digital humanities, and as emphasized in almost all DH discussions of pedagogy, we emphasize teaching with students and often students teaching us as instructors. Part of the joy and challenge of DH is that no one can develop and maintain expertise in all the fields and skills though which DH projects ramify. Interdisciplinarity is emphasized in a team-based, and situational and problem-solving manner that can only be attempted with diverse skills and knowledge in the room. Second, if my first thought is taken seriously then there can be no worry of "inclusion or exclusion" beyond who gets a voice at the table. This assertion is justified by the fact that outcomes belong to no one discipline. Process and approach are malleable and belong to all the disciplines involved, and to a degree, none of them at the same time. DH is not, in my opinion, a new discipline but a pedagogy enabled by digital technology to frame, approach, and successfully solve questions that humanities by itself cannot hope to undertake in isolation or without the aid of digital technology. It pushes the limits of technology by ferreting out limits of technology and asking for more or why technology hasn't been designed to address a novel configuration of issues. And it also reverses the critical inquiry by identifying the limits of humanities and its ad hoc belief that computers cannot produce meaningful and relevant information to age-old human questions and their various cultural products.. For example, think of the attempt to say substantive things through so-called "distance reading" of literary corpora. Humanists don't like it because it claims mathematics can explain the genius and appeal of genres and specific authors. Technology will not like it because the results force them to address questions of how patterns translate into meanings and values. I run into this all the time, but more frequently among humanists who seem to believe transgressive innovation is some kind of sacrilege. DH produces hybrid results that challenge disciplinary boundaries and "proper" fields, and thus, it is too narrow a question to ask whether it is taken up in this or that field. Who cares who gets credit for the success? My two cents. Don Braxton Daniel J. Kleitman's "On the future of combinatorics" (2000)* provides an amusing as well as enlightening analogy for digital humanists wondering about where they stand in a world structured by disciplines. Kleitman in turn dwells on the analogy of combinatorics with mathematics in regard of status, e.g. > Much of mathematics was and is motivated by potential application to > science or engineering. > > When such an application is successful, it quickly becomes absorbed > into the subject; if important, it becomes a part of the science, is > taught to students as such, and ceases to be considered mathematics. > Thus, what is left as mathematics and taught as such in areas of > application, are either preliminaries, or those subjects that have > not been successful enough or important enough to be taken over. > Thus, applied mathematics is in effect excluded from its successes. -- Don Braxton J Omar Good Professor of Religious Studies Juniata College Huntingdon, PA 16652 USA _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-1.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, DEAR_SOMETHING,MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=no version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 123AD9D76; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:50:37 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 422E49D72; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:50:37 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id EFF859D6C; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:50:33 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180411075033.EFF859D6C@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:50:33 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.761 surveys, ideology, infrastructure, service 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: <20180411075037.5810.81488@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 761.

I think that is rich, and an ideological push in an unhelpful direction. I guess those of you who know me, will not be surprised that the invitation in Humanist 31.576 raises at least my eyebrows. I would like to invite the opinion of the DH community (in so far at least as represented by Humanist) on this one. I feel there are quite a lot of surveys lately, so I feel a little weary about them anyway and wonder how representative they are in all. But especially the matter with this invitation is aggravated in that DH yet again is strongly equated with infrastructure and service (and DARIAH it seems). All of which I think may very well be part of DH, but far from in some ≣ manner. (That's a formal logic sign for 'strictly equivalent to', if you were wondering.) Obviously everybody should be free to make up his own mind about participating in a survey. But my question: wouldn't it be better to actively oppose such strongly ideologically colored surveys?

Regards, Rachel Hendery. Fully funded PhD position in Digital Humanities in Australia (with focus on the pre-history of Oceania). Fee waiver and scholarship included. Application deadline May 11 2018 The Digital Humanities Research Group at Western Sydney University, Australia, has recently received a national research grant (ARC Discovery): ‘Waves of Words: Mapping and Modelling Australia’s Pacific Past’ (DP180100893). The primary aim of this project is to understand Australia’s prehistory as a networked agent in a complex web of Asia-Pacific interaction. In order to achieve this, we aim to determine the extent and nature of early relationships between first peoples of Australia and the rest of Oceania by bringing together, comparing, and modelling the linguistic, anthropological and archaeological evidence. As a result of this research we also aim to: - discover what kinds of social configurations underlie different linguistic outcomes in language contact situations; and - improve our understanding of the relationship between language change and socio-cultural change and feed this back into improvements to linguistic and anthropological theory. - develop a toolkit of methods and software for integrating linguistic, anthropological and archaeological data that can be used in other regions as well. The PhD position is intended to take on a self-contained subproject within this larger scope, with some flexibility for the student’s own research interests. Examples of possible subprojects include (but are not limited to) the following: - Semantic maps for Wanderwörter in Oceania - Agent-based modelling of population interactions in the early Pacific (or pre-colonial Australia) - Development of an interdisciplinary data-visualisation platform for linguistics, anthropology and archaeology - Integration of time-based data visualisation into geographical platforms - 3D/Virtual Reality humanities data visualisation - Text mining and automatic extraction of structured data from humanities publications If a technical topic such as one of the above is chosen, the PhD project may include data from the broad area of interest to the ARC project (Oceania). Alternatively, a student with a stronger background in linguistics, anthropology or archaeology may wish to focus on a particular region that is of interest for the relationship between Australia and the Pacific (the Torres Islands, the relationship between Vanuatu and Australia, between PNG and Australia, or between parts of Indonesia and Australia (e.g. Sulawesi and/or Maluku) for example), or on a subset of the thematic domains that are of interest, e.g. plants and animals, material culture (e.g. canoes, fish hooks, and other tools), social structures (chieftainship, kinship, religion). The student will be supervised by Associate Professor Rachel Hendery (Digital Humanities Research Group) and Professor Simeon Simoff (School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics). For further context, please see the full project description linked here: https://www.westernsydney.edu.au/dhrg/digital_humanities/featured/waves_of_words . To apply, please send a CV, together with a short proposal for your project (1-2 pages) by May 4, 2018. We will then invite shortlisted candidates to submit a more detailed proposal and attend an interview (which may be via teleconference). _______________________________________________ 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=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 779A59D77; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:54:34 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 020A69D63; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:54:33 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 64A1A9D49; Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:54:30 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20180411075430.64A1A9D49@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2018 09:54:30 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.763 ACH election results X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============1009556914570374458==" Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180411075434.7424.81479@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org --===============1009556914570374458== Content-Type: text/plain Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 763.

An international conference on spatiotemporal archaeological and historical network research When? 6-7 December 2018 Where? University of Oxford, United Kingdom Keynotes? Dr. Nathalie Riche (Microsoft Research) and Dr. Matthew Peeples (Arizona State University) Deadline call for papers? 14 May2018 More information? http://connectedpast.net Organisers? Past Net https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/themes/pastnet-network How do social networks evolve over very long time-scales? How did geography constrain or enhance the development of past social networks? These are fundamental questions in both the study of the human past and network research,yet our ability to answer them is severely hampered by the limited development of spatiotemporal network methods. Past Net is an inter-disciplinary network that aims to stimulate the development and application of such methods through networking meetings, a conference and a workshop. Formal network methods are increasingly commonly applied in a wide range of disciplines to study phenomena as diverse as the connectivity of neurons in the human brain, terrorist networks, a billion interlinked Facebook profiles, and power grids. Despite this diversity and the decades-long tradition of using network methods in the social sciences, physics and computer science, the development of techniques for the study of spatial networks and long-term network change has so far been largely neglected. Network research is also becoming more common in disciplines concerned with the study of past human behaviour: archaeology, classics and history. These disciplines have a strong tradition in exploring long-term human behavioural change and spatial phenomena,despite being forced to use fragmentary textual and material sources as indirect evidence of such phenomena. By bringing together network researchers from a diverse range of fields such as archaeology, computer science, history and physics, The Connected Past 2018 conference in Oxford aims to foster cross-disciplinary exchange to push network research further. The historical disciplines will contribute new spatiotemporal approaches and datasets to network research, whereas the traditional network research disciplines will further stimulate the critical application of network approaches to the study of the human past. This event is part of The Connected Past series of conferences (http://connectedpast.net). It is made possible thanks to the generous support of The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk) and is organised by the TORCH research network PastNet (https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/themes/pastnet-network). We welcome submissions of abstracts on the topic of spatial and temporal network approaches. We particularly welcome 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: - Spatial networks - Temporal networks - Archaeological network research - Historical network research - Missing and incomplete data in archaeological and historical networks - What kinds of data can archaeologists and historians use to reconstruct past networks and what kinds of issues ensue? - Formal network analysis vs qualitative network approaches: pros, cons, potential, limitations Please submit your abstract limited to 250 words before midnight (GMT) of May 14th 2018 to pastnet.contact@torch.ox.ac.uk --[2]------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2018 22:07:30 +0100 From: Susan Schreibman Subject: CFP for TEI2018 extended The PC for TEI2018, in response to requests from the community, is delighted to extend the CFP through 20 April.

But I am afraid, you ask the wrong question. It presupposes a knowledge of what the Digital Humanities actually are. And my experience has been that whensoever anybody raises that question, the immediate reaction of at least one person in the audience, usually applauded by a significant fraction, is that the "Digital Humanities are not about defining, but about doing". This of course carries the convenient implication that, whatsoever the speaker is doing, IS part of the Digital Humanities. Or, possibly, not part, but the essence of it. As long as this is so, you cannot react intellectually to the pure political wish to create reasons, why you should be funded for waving the flag.

Registration and paper submission are now open. Please feel free to share this announcement with colleagues. For registration and more information, please visit: https://www.adlerplanetarium.org/artefacts Artefacts Consortium The Artefacts Consortium http://www.artefactsconsortium.org/ is an international association of historians in museums and academic institutions who share the goal of promoting the use of objects in serious historical studies. Artefacts meetings are opportunities for professionals to explore the use, care, and interpretation of objects and collections. Meeting Theme: Relevance of Collections The 2018 Artefacts meeting will explore how museums and related institutions have defined and maintained the relevance of their collections. This follows up on themes explored in previous Artefacts meetings and described in the volume Challenging Collections from the Artefacts XVI meeting. As the editors note in the introduction to this volume, museums today “must balance a number of functions, not always mutually compatible: exhibition, preservation, research, and education. … the nature of museums’ relationships with their public has shifted from one of unquestioned authority to a partner in dialogue” (Boyle and Hagmann 2017). At the same time, humanities scholars have had increased interest in objects, collections, and museums. For a range of stakeholders, collections provoke questions of status and purpose that are, organizational, social, and intellectual. As context and events changed how museums operate, how have scholars at museums and other institutions approached the relevance of collections? In what way have interpretations changed depending on prevalent historiography and motivations of the interpreter? What is the impact of changing techniques available for examining objects? How do institutions prioritize acquisitions and displays for their collections? How has the growing importance of digital access affected the role of collections? More generally, in what ways are history collections relevant to broader society? This meeting will allow scholars within and outside the museum community to explore how the relevance of museum collections has changed through history. It will also enable museum professionals to pose challenging questions about the present and future of relevance of collections. Call for Papers The deadline for submitting papers and session proposals is July 20. We particularly welcome paper and session proposals addressing the following topics: - Collections and artifacts in the identity and public image of museums and similar institutions - Shifts in the scope and focus of collecting while balancing scholarly activities and public engagement - Shifts in object interpretation and display in response to societal changes and pressures - The place of scholarly inquiry in shaping the maintenance, development, and use of collections - Challenges in setting priorities for the use and maintenance of collection - The role of digital collections in museum practice and audience engagement.

As anyone who’s ever heard me give a talk knows, my favourite response to the drive to definition is to repeat a slogan borrowed from a well-known international sportswear retailer. Of course I do very much support the need to produce appropriate infrastructure, and of course, am an advocate of consulting users. But, am also worried that we keep repeating surveys without actually demonstrating that action has been taken as a result, that resources are appropriate or that levels of use have increased. I’ve come across this problem in the past. Resources are created, users don’t use or like them, but instead of making changes, it’s just easier to do another survey and ask the same questions, in the hope the users get it right this time. This rarely happens. I’d like to see more exciting research projects funded by the EU, and more ERC fellowships in our area granted. If we make the comparison with, for example, physics, of course infrastructure is vital- the LHC, beamlines, HPC, telescopes etc but the physics community is also keen to ensure that EU funds also go into ERC personal fellowships, FP9 etc, because that’s the way that the most excellent research is made possible and the subject advanced. There’s a model here DH might pursue.

The Appropriations of Open Knowledge project aims to understand usages on the OpenEdition platforms by seeking correlations between the content and usages identified in the literature (the long tail, the sleeping beauty, the unexpected reader and the silent conversation). The idea is to closely compare the usages and the editorial and linguistic characteristics of the content in order to develop a typology of the appropriations and citation contexts, so as to identify scenarios involving the propagation and appropriation of scientific information and to describe the literacies of different populations of readers in the dissemination of scientific culture. The project has received funding from Excellence Initiative of Aix-Marseille University - AMIDEX, a French “Investissements d’Avenir” programme Deadline: 2018-04-25 1. Postdoctoral position in the Laboratoire d’Informatique et Systèmes (LIS, UMR 7020) Missions The candidate selected must be able to analyse the OpenEdition logs and associated content using essentially unsupervised digital approaches (classification, segmentation, linkages on the basis of similarities, etc.), in order to build typical user profiles. At a later stage, the contexts of the bibliographic references present in the consulted content will also be analysed in order to establish citation profiles, which, in turn, will contribute to the user profiles. The various proposed approaches will be associated with those developed by the selected candidate, conjointly with the IMSIC. This will raise the issue of the intersection of digital approaches and symbolic approaches, the exploitation of terminologies in relation to probabilistic models, etc. Competencies The candidate should have a Computer Science PhD in one of the following fields: · information retrieval; · automatic language processing; · text mining, data mining. He or she should have strong skills in automatic learning approaches, probabilistic methods, and, if possible, graph mining. The selected candidate will be asked to develop scalabale software tools. Knowledge of Python language would be a plus.

Some of the most imaginative digital tools I have seen have been created by hobbyists with deep content knowledge and strong technical skills, who are embedded in a user community. There are some good examples of community sourced archaeological maps. I also feel that there is too much money, not too little, available for tech tool and environment development. In addition there is too little attention to standard development from knowledgeable users up. The development and rapid spread of IIIF standards is a powerful exception. Core to IIIF success seems to me that it is embedded in GLAMs and spans North America and Europe. Another good example of user driven tool development is work by the Pelagios Commons on Recogito as a semantic annotation platform. My own projects MarineLives and Maphackathon are driven from the user. We are now experimenting with the creation of a new technology enabled community for the study of historical literacy, Signs of Literacy. We are technologically agnostic and are surveying and reaching out to multiple technology and process ecosystems, including but not limited to IIIF, Transkribus and Pelagios, whilst pursuing an agenda of applying pattern recognition and machine learning to studying markes, initials and signatures. We are taking eight months, prior to any grant writing our search for funding or contributions in kind, to assemble our user community combining content and technical experts. We will be focussed on the end goal of research insight rather than tool development for its own sake. That's the plan. Easier said than done!

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2018 09:04:57 +0100 From: Willard McCarty Subject: surveys, infrastructure and intellectual work I agree with Claire that the time for defining is over, for ramping down on the surveying and for more research projects sufficiently exciting intellectually to attract funding from the European Research Council, the Mellon, AHRC et al. Digital projects seem to be the flavour of the day, so much so that the 'digital' qualifier finds its way into most of the applications I have seen. My experience, however, is that few of the applicants use this qualifier as more than window-dressing, just as few use 'interdisciplinary' in any way that shows they know what good research across disciplines actually entails. If the conversation is to be about funding, then we need to have a prior conversation about what it means to go beyond mere application of tool or method X to problem Y. We need to have a conversation -- and many more papers in learned journals -- on (and not just about) the two-way traffic between Xs and Ys. We need to be looking into the resonance between all Xs and Ys. Is that not our central concern as digital+humanists? Of course there will be many X-type and many Y-type people involved who are more concerned with Xs and Ys, respectively, but isn't it the resonance which brings us together?

The original Call for Papers follows ... Conference: Computational Methods for Literary- Historical Textual Studies. 3-5 July 2018 at De Montfort University The Centre for Textual Studies at De Montfort University in Leicester, England, is running a three-day international conference to showcase and explore the latest methods for analyzing literary and historical texts using computers. A particular focus will be the ways in which literary and historical scholarship will turn increasingly algorithmic in the future as we invent wholly new kinds of questions to ask of our texts because we have wholly new ways to investigate them. The conference will bring together, and put into fruitful dialogue, scholars using traditional literary and historical methods and those exploring and inventing new computational methods, to their mutual benefit. Proposals are invited for 20-minute papers on our topic, which might cover such matters as: * More markup or smarter algorithms?: The future of text analysis. * Is anything just not computable in literary-historical textual studies, and does it matter? * Where are we with Optical Character Recognition? * Are texts Orderly Hierarchies of Content Objects, really? * Can (should?) one person try to learn traditional and digital methods of textual scholarship? * XML but not TEI: Using roll-your-own schemas * New developments in Natural Language Processing * Regularizing historical spelling variation: Is it necessary? How can we do it? * Getting started with digital textual analysis: Reports from unwearied beginners * Is it too easy to get results with computers and too hard to avoid big errors? * Teaching textual analysis using computers * Does it matter if non-computational colleagues don't understand our work? * Showcasing new technologies * Is digital practice changing textual theories? * When is a source text digital transcription good enough? * Teamwork versus lone scholarship: Does working digitally make a difference? * Where does textual analysis meet digital editing? The conference is generously funded by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council, which includes the provision of eight student bursaries, worth 200 GBP each, to help cover the costs of attending to give a paper. Students wanting to apply for bursaries should indicate so in the paper proposal. To apply to give a paper, please send the title of the paper and a description (200-300 words) to Prof Gabriel Egan . If you are a student applying for one of the bursaries, please say so in your proposal and add a couple of sentences describing your circumstances in a way that makes us want to give you the bursary.

Meanwhile, conventional literary studies has followed the modernist paradigm of 'close reading', insisting on close textual attention. This afternoon brings together scholars of both approaches to investigate how one can inform the other, chart common goals and navigate potential tensions and anxieties.

We invite you to bring your field expertise in historical research methodologies. Impresso.Media Monitoring of the Past consists of a vibrant, interdisciplinary team of historians, computational linguists, engineers and designers based in Luxembourg and Switzerland. The project is currently building up a corpus of Swiss, German, Luxembourgish, French and Belgian newspapers starting from the mid-19thcentury. At this stage, the corpus includes Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Le Temps, the collections of the Swiss National Library, the Luxembourgish National Library as well as collections from a number of other providers of European newspapers. The inclusion of French and German titles is planned. This corpus will be available for associated researchers until the end of the project in 2020. In addition, associated researchers will have the opportunity to work together closely with our team of computational linguists based at the University of Zürich's Institute for Computational Linguistics http://www.cl.uzh.ch/de.html and theDHLAB at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) http://dhlab.epfl.ch/ as well as a team of designers and developers based at theLuxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital history (C2DH) http://c2dh.uni.lu/ . Associated researchers are invited to submit a short description of concrete ideas and research questions which can be addressed with the help of historical newspapers within the impressocorpus. These projects can also complement ongoing research or take the form of graduate theses. An interest in (Swiss) economic history, gender, and media historyas well as quantitative methodswill be considered as an advantage but is not required.

An Epistemic History of Exhibitions in the Second Half of the 20th Century" These studentships are open to applications from international students regardless of nationality. They are advertised in English and German and these are the languages of the research colloquium. The stipendiary support payment over the four year period of the studentship will be pro-rate at 65% of the German TV-L E13 position salary. Exhibitions are spaces where society absorbs, negotiates, changes, and mediates current and past knowledge. They are interpretative institutions creating meaningful reference points. They serve to affirm cultural and social categorises and how societies perceive themselves. Thus, they play a decisive role in the process of generating and negotiating knowledge in knowledge-based societies. The planned Research Training Group will examine the interdependent field on which knowledge and exhibitions met in the second half of the 20th century. It will use seven case studies to analyse this relationship based on history of knowledge approaches. What kinds of knowledge, already circulating in academic and social discourses, found its way into an exhibition? Who are the people possessing and mediating knowledge? How do exhibitions explain and interpret this knowledge? How do they translate knowledge into spatial object arrangements? What are the selection processes and how is knowledge changed in these processes? We assume that exhibitions are the results of multi-layered negotiation processes visible for a short period of time. This involves a wide range of visible and invisible actors and is characterised by a multitude of explicit and implicit contexts. Hence, in addition to the common study of written and pictorial sources that originated from the conception, implementation and reception of exhibitions, a comprehensive analysis of the interdependencies between knowledge and exhibitions needs to focus also on implicit and tacit knowledge, which is generally not recorded in writing. Consequently, the seven doctoral students will spend a year of their total four-year funding phase at a cooperating museum in order to understand the complexities at work in preparing exhibitions and also the effects of the exhibitions’ impact. During this hands-on phase they cooperate in preparation of an exhibition and by doing so gain another perspective on the historical material they work with. The combination of theory and practice in the curriculum safeguards that the seven doctoral students pursue an extended research approach. At the same time, the practical year enables them to gather skills and experiences during their qualification phase and to establish networks important for their future academic careers, but in particular their careers outside of universities. The program will also further develop and expand the networks of non-university institutions of knowledge transfer and structured doctoral education by sustaining the contacts of doctoral students established within the framework of the Research Training Group. The subjects of the seven collaborative doctoral projects are: Exhibiting colonial knowledge: Museums of European colonial powers since the 1960s. Exhibiting migration? A history of knowledge of a thematic constriction. War – Remembering, Experiencing, Weeping: About knowledge production in WW2 exhibitions at the crime scenes. Researching and exhibiting Ethnology. The Viking – A myth: Design and backlash on museum communication. Knowledge of pictures: Visual argumentation in exhibitions. The 'show value‘ of human remains: Exhibitions as actors in the medical-ethical discourse.

This is a hybrid e-Conference event, which means it will be screened for live audiences at the University of Alberta and our other partner institutes as well as live-streamed around the world. Registration is free! During the week's events, viewers are invited to take part in the online conversation and submit questions for our guests. Featured Speakers: • Peter Kalmus, NASA climate scientist • Andre Anders and UAlberta's Douglas Barage, leading experts on energy consumption in the digital era • Allison Paradise, Co-founder of My Green Labs • Petra Dolata, Canada's Research Chair of the History of Energy... and more! Daily Events: April 30th - May 4th (see website for complete schedule) Why the theme of "Sustainable Research"? Traditional conferences have a surprisingly large CO2 footprint. According to a recent study by researchers at the UCSB nearly one-third of CO2 emissions produced by university campuses come from flying to conferences and other academic related events. This conference is an opportunity to stimulate discussion about sustainable research in its many forms as well as address the question of how we as an academic community can work together to learn how to better mobilize ideas without flying so many people.

We invite proposals globally on all aspects of digital humanities, and especially encourage papers treating topics that deal with practices that aim to cross borders, for example, between academic fields, media, languages, cultures, organizations, and so on, as related to the field of digital humanities. Theme: "Leveraging Open Data" Open Data has recently been a driver in various fields. The notion, activities, and the data themselves have gradually been gaining attention in the humanities. Large scale reusable data and greater integration of open data provide new research opportunities with relatively few costs. Open data has been strongly assisted by recent developments in digital tools, guidelines and frameworks that leverage digital cultural resources. It has become more important to share data and tools and to discuss their use in the context of digital humanities. This year we strongly encourage the submission of proposals about methods, results, and problems of leveraging open data in the humanities. With this as our suggested central focus, we nonetheless welcome papers on a broad range of DH topics. Abstract: 500-1000 words in length in English, including title. Please submit abstracts on the open conference system for conference below by May 8, 2018.

These processes have been crucial to the computer’s mass popularization during the 20th century and into the 21st—from the first stored program computer, to the rise of the consumer software industry, to the unpredictable and often troubling emergence of the Internet of Things, predictive analytics, and data harvesting. Yet encoding in computer memory is never obvious, given, or inert; choices about how to store and structure data inevitably inform the meaning that can be made with computing machines. In other words, all exercises in memory are also exercises in obfuscation, exclusion, and forgetting. Similarly, historians, theorists, and archivists of information technologies depend on the often imperceptible operations of memory: from the delicacy of human past experiences taken down in oral history, to presences and gaps “captured” in the archive. This problem of what is remembered, and what is forgotten, is the disciplinary condition that renders history as much art as it is science. In honor of the 10th annual SIGCIS conference, STORED IN MEMORY invites scholars, museum and archive professionals, IT practitioners, artists and independent researchers across the disciplinary spectrum to submit abstracts related to the historical conditions of computing. We are especially interested in (but not limited to) work that relates to the theme of “memory,” broadly and imaginatively construed. Areas of engagement may include: - How have computing technologies transformed people’s engagement with their past, present, or future? - What role does computing play in the formation and development of political systems, governance infrastructures, and institutional memory? - How are people’s histories and identities—race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and so on—recorded and represented through information technologies? - Where do computer encodings fit in the longer history of tools and practices with which communities represent the world? What epistemological realities does computer memory afford? - What place does the history of memory (computer, human, sociopolitical, and so on) have in the history of computing? - How have databases served to memorialize and monumentalize certain formations of knowledge, and what is forgotten in these processes? - How has the historiography of computing and information changed over the years, and where could it take us next? (Retrospectives welcome) - What challenges and methods are emerging in the preservation of computing history through archives, museums, oral histories, and digital-born collections? SIGCIS is especially welcoming of new directions in scholarship. We maintain an inclusive atmosphere for scholarly inquiry, supporting both disciplinary interventions from beyond the traditional history of technology, and with respect to promoting diversity in STEM. We welcome submissions from: the histories of technology, computing, information, and science; science and technology studies; oral history and archival studies; digital humanities; critical studies of big data and machine learning; studies of women, gender, and sexuality; studies of race, ethnicity, and postcoloniality; disability studies and the medical humanities; 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 takes place on the final day of the annual meeting of our parent organization, the Society for the History of Technology [SHOT]. Information about the annual SHOT conference can be found at: https://bit.ly/2E6qgko 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 The Works-in-Progress (WiP) session will be a workshop wherein participants discuss their work 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 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 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 September 30, 2018. 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, 2018. 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 250-300 word panel abstract in addition to 3-4 paper abstracts) - 1-page CV or resume for each presenter Please Note: Individuals who have submitted to 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 space to note whether 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 acceptance by SIGCIS does not imply eligibility for the SHOT travel grant program. Details of available awards are at http://www.sigcis.org/travelaward.

Applications are due May 18th. https://bit.ly/2JNnNPQ We invite applications for the New Scholars Seminar 2018 (NSS18) in Mexico City. The NSS18 will be part of DH 2018 taking place before the conference. It is a full day ‘unconference’ for new scholars convened by Rachel Hendery, Geoffrey Rockwell, Elise Bohan, and Juan Steyn with support from the Kule Institute for Advanced Study. What is the New Scholars Seminar? The NSS18 is an unconference event on Monday 25 June preceding the DH2018 conference. The NSS is for new scholars to meet and develop research collaborations in the digital humanities. The agenda for the unconference events will be set by the participants. This year, we will continue the mentoring component. Participants in the NSS18 will be matched, where possible, with senior scholars in their area as a ‘mentor’ during the rest of the DH2018 conference. This is a great opportunity to meet and discuss your work with an international leader in your discipline. While no travel funding is available through the NSS this year, the seminar has no registration charge (participants are however expected to attend DH 2018 and pay the conference registration fee). Who should participate? For the purposes of this seminar a "new scholar" is defined as someone who is either a graduate student or someone who has received their PhD within the last 5 years (or longer if a case is made for career interruption). Postdoctoral fellows and people in alternative academic positions are welcome to apply. Participation will be by reviewed application. How does one apply? Applications are due by May 18th. Applications include i) a short (up to one-page) Statement of Research that outlines your research interests in digital humanities; and ii) a (maximum two-page) CV. Applications should be sent to the Kule Institute for Advanced Study > at the University of Alberta. New Scholars Seminar Programme The programme for the seminar will be developed by the participants once accepted and coordinated by the Kule Institute for Advanced Study.

Please forward to any likely candidates! Best wishes, Tara Andrews Univ.-Prof. Dr. Tara L Andrews Digital Humanities Institut für Geschichte, Universität Wien Universitätsring 1, A-1010 Wien *** Starting Date: May 1st, 2018 Application deadline: April 30th, 2018 Duration: 3 years http://datascience.univie.ac.at Job ad: https://tinyurl.com/ds-UniVie Data Science @ Uni Wien is a new research platform at the University of Vienna that presents a hub on all activities in data science at the University of Vienna. We have openings for five enthusiastic PhD students to establish an interdisciplinary research environment. The PhD students will be hosted in one of the faculties of Computer Science, Mathematics, or Business, Economics and Statistics. Each of the PhD students will be co-supervised by members of at least two different faculties and work on research problems in one of five domains, Astronomy, Digital Humanities, Finance, Industry 4.0, Medical Sciences. The focus in these areas is described as follows: Astronomy is currently undergoing a data deluge with multiwavelength missions on earth and space. The focus of the PhD project in this area is the development of algorithmic and visual analysis techniques for the Gaia mission data, an ambitious ESA satellite currently charting a three-dimensional map of our Galaxy with accurate positions and velocities of about 2 billion stars. The student will focus on large data exploration and data analysis to tackle astrophysical questions, making use of Data Science tools. The Digital Humanities area will have a particular focus on digital historical studies. The student will focus on the development of suitable data models for information about historical people and cultures that is harvested from the digitisation of texts and artifacts. Another goal will be to look at how these models, and machine learning techniques that make use of them, will coexist with the interpretative critical frameworks through which historical analysis is usually done. Potential topics in the area of Finance are visual analysis tools for the analysis of volatility, liquidity and market microstructure relations based on large cross-sections of limit order book data. A second area will focus on the development and application of dimension reduction techniques for high-dimensional dependence and network structures. Among others, further topics will be the development of monitoring tools to analyze market dynamics around singular events. In Industry 4.0, the production process in a shop floor consisting of cyber-physical production systems produces huge amount of data. In addition a current trend in modern societies is the increased need in personalized products. This aspect increases the number of different product variants and results in smaller lot-sizes, which leads to a higher complexity and to dynamic processes. In such dynamic environments exceptions and disruptions are frequent and often lead to unforeseen situations and possibly negative consequences. Hence, the PhD position focuses on detecting dynamic process changes or unexpected disruptions early by exploiting the available data. Moreover, strategies to avoid negative impacts whenever such disruptions occur have to be developed. Such strategies may apply predictive methods for planning in advance or adopt real-time planning approaches with the aim to revise the original plans quickly. In the area of Medical Sciences the goal is to develop new data analysis methods supporting an integrative view on information originating from different sources including medical imaging, genetic data, clinical biomarkers and demographic data. We will particularly focus on clustering methods supporting the stratification of patient collectives with the long term goal of personalized medicine. As applications we will consider Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer.

ALW2: 2nd Workshop on Abusive Language Online EMNLP 2018 (Brussels, Belgium), October 31st or November 1st, 2018 Submission deadline: July 20th, 2018 Website: https://sites.google.com/view/alw2018 Submission link: https://www.softconf.com/emnlp2018/ALW2/ Overview Interaction amongst users on social networking platforms can enable constructive and insightful conversations and civic participation; however, on many sites that encourage user interaction, verbal abuse has become commonplace, leading to negative outcomes such as cyberbullying, hate speech, and scapegoating. In online contexts, aggressive behavior may be more frequent than in face-to-face interaction, which can poison the social climates within online communities. The last few years have seen a surge in such abusive online behavior, leaving governments, social media platforms, and individuals struggling to deal with the consequences. For instance, in 2015, Twitter’s CEO publicly admitted that online abuse on their platform was resulting in users leaving the platform, and in some cases even having to leave their homes. More recently, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Microsoft pledged to remove hate speech from their platforms within 24 hours in accordance with the EU commission code of conduct and face fines of up to €50M in Germany if they systematically fail to remove abusive content within 24 hours. While governance demands the ability to respond quickly and at scale, we do not yet have effective human or technical processes that can address this need. Abusive language can often be extremely subtle and highly context dependent. Thus we are challenged to develop scalable computational methods that can reliably and efficiently detect and mitigate the use of abusive language online within variable and evolving contexts. As a field that works directly with computational analysis of language, NLP (Natural Language Processing) is in a unique position to address this problem. Recently there have been a greater number of papers dealing with abusive language in the computational linguistics community. Abusive language is not a stable or simple target: misclassification of regular conversation as abusive can severely impact users’ freedom of expression and reputation, while misclassification of abusive conversations as unproblematic on the other hand maintains the status quo of online communities as unsafe environments. Clearly, there is still a great deal of work to be done in this area. More practically, as research into detecting abusive language is still in its infancy, the research community has yet to agree upon a suitable typology of abusive content as well as upon standards and metrics for proper evaluation, where research in media studies, rhetorical analysis, and cultural analysis can offer many insights. In this second edition of this workshop, we continue to emphasize the computational detection of abusive language as informed by interdisciplinary scholarship and community experience. We invite paper submissions describing unpublished work from relevant fields including, but not limited to: natural language processing, law, psychology, network analysis, gender and women’s studies, and critical race theory. Paper Topics We invite long and short papers on any of the following general topics: related to developing computational models and systems: NLP models and methods for detecting abusive language online, including, but not limited to hate speech, cyberbullying etc. Application of NLP tools to analyze social media content and other large data sets NLP models for cross-lingual abusive language detection Computational models for multi-modal abuse detection Development of corpora and annotation guidelines Critical algorithm studies with a focus on abusive language moderation technology Human-Computer Interaction for abusive language detection systems Best practices for using NLP techniques in watchdog settings or related to legal, social, and policy considerations of abusive language online: The social and personal consequences of being the target of abusive language and targeting others with abusive language Assessment of current non-NLP methods of addressing abusive language Legal ramifications of measures taken against abusive language use Social implications of monitoring and moderating unacceptable content Considerations of implemented and proposed policies for dealing with abusive language online and the technological means of dealing with it. In addition, in this one-day workshop, we will have a multidisciplinary panel discussion and a forum for plenary discussion on the issues that researchers and practitioners face in efforts to work with abusive language detection. We are also looking into the possibility of publishing a special issue journal to this iteration of the workshop. We seek to have a greater focus on policy aspects of online abuse through invited speakers and panels. Submission Information We will be using the EMNLP 2018 Submission Guidelines. Authors are invited to submit a full paper of up to 8 pages of content with up to 2 additional pages for references. We also invite short papers of up to 4 pages of content, including 2 additional pages for references. Accepted papers will be given an additional page of content to address reviewer comments. We also invite papers which describe systems. If you would like to present a demo in addition to presenting the paper, please make sure to select either "full paper + demo" or "short paper + demo" under "Submission Category" in the START submission page. Previously published papers cannot be accepted. The submissions will be reviewed by the program committee. As reviewing will be blind, please ensure that papers are anonymous. Self-references that reveal the author's identity, e.g., "We previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...", should be avoided. Instead, use citations such as "Smith previously showed (Smith, 1991) ...". We have also included conflict of interest in the submission form. You should mark all potential reviewers who have been authors on the paper, are from the same research group or institution, or who have seen versions of this paper or discussed it with you.

VISART will continue its role as a forum for the presentation, discussion and publication of computer vision techniques for the analysis of art. In contrast with prior editions, VISART IV will expand its remit, offering two tracks for submission: 1. Computer Vision for Art - technical work (standard ECCV submission, 14 page excluding references) 2. Uses and Reflection of Computer Vision for Art (Extended abstract, 4 page, excluding references) The recent explosion in the digitisation of artworks highlights the concrete importance of application in the overlap between computer vision and art; such as the automatic indexing of databases of paintings and drawings, or automatic tools for the analysis of cultural heritage. Such an encounter, however, also opens the door both to a wider computational understanding of the image beyond photo-geometry, and to a deeper critical engagement with how images are mediated, understood or produced by computer vision techniques in the 'Age of Image-Machines' (T. J. Clark). Whereas submissions to our first track should primarily consist of technical papers, our second track therefore encourages critical essays or extended abstracts from art historians, artists, cultural historians, media theorists and computer scientists. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers in the fields of computer vision and the digital humanities with art and cultural historians and artists, to promote interdisciplinary collaborations, and to expose the hybrid community to cutting-edge techniques and open problems on both sides of this fascinating area of study. This one-day workshop in conjunction with ECCV 2018, calls for high-quality, previously unpublished, works related to Computer Vision and Cultural History. Submissions for both tracks should conform to the ECCV 2018 proceedings style. Papers must be submitted online through the CMT submission system at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/VISART2018/ and will be double-blind peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. TOPICS include but are not limited to: - Art History and Computer Vision - 3D reconstruction from visual art or historical sites - Artistic style transfer from artworks to images and 3D scans - 2D and 3D human pose estimation in art - Image and visual representation in art - Computer Vision for cultural heritage applications - Authentication Forensics and dating - Big-data analysis of art - Media content analysis and search - Visual Question & Answering (VQA) or Captioning for Art - Visual human-machine interaction for Cultural Heritage - Multimedia databases and digital libraries for artistic and art-historical research - Interactive 3D media and immersive AR/VR environments for Cultural Heritage - Digital recognition, analysis or augmentation of historical maps - Security and legal issues in the digital presentation and distribution of cultural information - Surveillance and behaviour analysis in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums INVITED SPEAKERS - Peter Bell (Professor of Digital Humanities - Art History, Friedrich- Alexander University Nüremberg) - Bjorn Ommer (Professor of Computer Vision, Heidelberg) - Eva-Maria Seng (Chair of Tangible and Intangible Heritage, Faculty of Cultural Studies, University of Paderborn) - More speakers TBC PROGRAM COMMITTEE To be confirmed.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2018 11:51:35 -0400 From: "Communication @JITP" Subject: Call for Submissions: Teaching and Research with Archives (June 15 2018 Deadline) The Journal of Interactive Technology and Pedagogy, a peer-reviewed open-access academic journal, is now open for submissions for its special 14th issue on Teaching and Research with Archives, with a deadline of June 15, 2018. This issue will be co-edited by Jojo Karlin, (CUNY Graduate Center), Stephen Klein, (Digital Service Librarian, CUNY Graduate Center), and Danica Savonick (CUNY Graduate Center). Digital technologies have prompted renewed attention to archival research and teaching practices, creating new opportunities for engaging primary sources, while also raising ethical questions about how archives are created, organized, shared, accessed, and preserved. For this themed issue, JITP seeks scholarly work exploring how archival technologies and methodologies influence teaching, learning, and research. How do scholars locate authoritative information and guarantee continued access in the current media landscape? How do we teach undergraduate students best methods for performing archival research and evaluating sources presented digitally? Other topics can include, but are not exclusive to: - the use of digital technologies and techniques to facilitate archival research and construction - pedagogies of archival research in the undergraduate classroom - collaborations among faculty, archivists, and students - explorations of access, equity, sustainability, integration, and preservation - relationships among archives, institutions, and publics - the ethics of archival research methods - the place of archives (public, academic, digital) - material intersections of administration, preservation, and dissemination We invite and encourage both textual and multimedia submissions employing interdisciplinary and creative approaches in the humanities, sciences, and social sciences. Besides scholarly papers, the submissions can consist of audio or visual presentations and interviews, dialogues, or conversations; creative/artistic works; manifestos; or other scholarly materials. Please see these guidelines: All work appearing in JITP is reviewed by the issue editors and independently by two scholars in the field who provide formative feedback to the author(s) during the review process. We practice signed, as opposed to blind, peer review. We intend that the journal itself—both in our process and in our digital product—serve as an opportunity to reveal, reflect on, and revise academic publication and classroom practices. As a courtesy to our reviewers, we will not consider simultaneous submissions, but we will do our best to reply to you within three months of the submission deadline. The expected length for finished manuscripts is under 5,000 words. All work should be original and previously unpublished. Essays or presentations posted on a personal blog may be accepted, provided they are substantially revised; please contact us with any questions at editors@jitpedagogy.org. For further information on style and formatting, accessibility requirements, and multimedia submissions, consult JITP’s accessibility guidelines: , style guide and multimedia submission guidelines: . Important Dates The submission deadline for full manuscripts is June 15, 2018. Please view our submission guidelines for information about submitting to the Journal. _______________________________________________ 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=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 8BB9CAA43; Tue, 24 Apr 2018 07:52:36 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 688AAAA30; Tue, 24 Apr 2018 07:52:30 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 905D0AA26; Tue, 24 Apr 2018 07:52:23 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Message-Id: <20180424055223.905D0AA26@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 07:52:23 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.786 PhD studentship (Sheffield) X-BeenThere: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.12 Precedence: list Reply-To: Online seminar for digital humanities MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org Errors-To: humanist-bounces@lists.digitalhumanities.org X-PPP-Message-ID: <20180424055235.12822.71104@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 786.

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Tue, 24 Apr 2018 21:49:18 +0000 From: "He, Wu" Subject: CFP: Open Educational Resource Discovery and Delivery In-Reply-To: Special issue call for papers from Information Discovery and Delivery Open Educational Resource, or OER in short, has been referred to as educational sources or services that anyone may have equal access and contribution (Tuomi, 2006; UNESCO, 2002). Its benefit of reducing students’ cost of education has been validated and underscored in numerous reports. A recent review of 16 OER studies in higher education showed that overall students using OER had the same level of achievement as those using traditional textbook, if not better (Hilton, 2016). Faculty and students reported favorable perceptions toward OER. As a young and growing field, OER has shown its promise in providing accessible and affordable educational opportunities for learners. However, Hilton (2016) found out in his search effort that first there were not many OER studies, and second, there was a lack of studies with rigorous research design. At the same time, as Drs. Wiley, Bliss, and McEwen (2014) pointed out, it faces several major challenges, among which the following questions are significant. What constitutes a quality OER source or service? How is the quality measured? How to find quality OER to effectively support specific needs? What are effective ways to find, localize, and manage OER for a specific linguistic and cultural context? We invite authors to submit paper on OER discovery, localization, management, and quality from theoretical, technical, and design perspectives. Topics may include, but not limited to: * Finding, Seeking and Sharing OER * OER Delivery and Management * OER and digital library * Users’ behavior in OER such as information seeking behavior * Learning analytics and data mining of OER * Recommendation systems for OER * OER accessibility * Effective use of OER * OER design and evaluation * OER quality * OER localization or adaptation in and across courses * Open assessment * Global impact * Systematic review of OER research * Advances in OER * Case studies related to OER discovery and delivery Guest Editors Shenghua Zha, University of South Alabama, shzha@southalabama.edu Gayle Davidson-Shivers, University of South Alabama, gvds@southalabama.edu I-Chun Tsai, University of Akron, tsai1@uakron.edu Important Dates Submission due: June 8, 2018 Final papers: September 2018 Submissions should comply with the journal author guidelines which are here – see http://www.emeraldgrouppublishing.com/products/journals/author_guidelines.htm?id=idd Submissions should be made through ScholarOne Manuscripts, the online submission and peer review system.

If you would like to present a short paper, or simply to attend, please send me an email: l.jaillant@lboro.ac.uk Workshop, DH@Lboro School of Advanced Study, London, 21 June 2018 Privacy, Open Data and the Humanities The Cambridge Analytica scandal has led to a privacy backlash and to calls for tighter regulation of Facebook and other Internet Giants. Social and computer scientists fear that legitimate researchers could be collaterally damaged. Yet, there has been no discussion on the plight of Humanities researchers confronted to “dark archives.” For example, the archive of the poetry publisher Carcanet in Manchester contains hundreds of thousands of emails, but it is currently closed due to data protection issues. With the forthcoming introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (May 2018), it may be even more complicated to access data in the future. This workshop will bring together academics, archivists and open data advocates to discuss the issues of privacy and access to data. We will focus primarily (but not exclusively) on cultural data and the case of the Humanities. Best wishes, Dr Lise Jaillant | Lecturer (Assistant Professor) School of the Arts, English and Drama | Loughborough University, UK _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe at: http://www.dhhumanist.org/Restricted/listmember_interface.php List posts to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org List info and archives at at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist Listmember interface at: http://digitalhumanities.org/humanist/Restricted/listmember_interface.php Subscribe at: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist/membership_form.php Return-Path: X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.3.1 (2010-03-16) on s16382816.onlinehome-server.info X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id AF90CAC3D; Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:40:23 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id E9B57AC03; Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:40:22 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id EB47DABDE; Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:40:19 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180427064019.EB47DABDE@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:40:19 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.792 events: digital libraries 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: <20180427064023.12846.49433@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 792.

Sengupta is Co-Director and co-founder of Whose Knowledge?. She has led initiatives in India and the USA, across the global South, and internationally for over 20 years, to amplify marginalised voices in virtual and physical worlds. She is the former Chief Grantmaking Officer at the Wikimedia Foundation and a Shuttleworth Fellow. Supporting and strengthening free knowledge, human rights and social justice movements and communities of practice have been at the the forefront of Sengupta’s work. Sengupta is on the boards of the Nonprofit Quarterly, a leading news and analysis site for US civil society, and The Rules, aiming to challenge and change the rules of global capitalism and exploitation. Among her publications is a pioneering collection, co-edited with Shamillah Wilson and Kristy Evans, titled Defending Our Dreams: Global Feminist Voices for a New Generation (AWID & Zed Books, 2006). Anasuya Sengupta holds an MPhil in Development Studies from the University of Oxford, where she studied as a Rhodes Scholar. She also has a BA in Economics (Honours) from Delhi University. More information about her work can be found here. National Digital Stewardship Alliance Digital Preservation 2018 Keynoter: Snowden Becker Snowden Becker will open Digital Preservation 2018 with a talk entitled "To See Ourselves as Others See Us: On Archives, Visibility, and Value." Becker manages the graduate degree program in audiovisual archiving and preservation in the Department of Information Studies at UCLA, where she also teaches courses in preservation and archival administration. She previously worked at Academy Film Archive, J. Paul Getty Museum, and Japanese American National Museum. Becker is pursuing a PhD in Information Science at University of Texas at Austin. She has an MLIS from UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies and a BFA from Maryland Institute, College of Art. Snowden Becker’s research interests focus on how audiovisual materials are integrated into, accessed, and preserved as part of our larger cultural heritage. Her forthcoming dissertation, Keeping the Pieces: Evidence management and archival practice in law enforcement, addresses the property room as a type of archive, and examines how audiovisual recordings and file-based media are managed alongside material evidence in law enforcement organizations. That work has led into additional research projects related to the creation, management, and preservation of audiovisual evidence, including an IMLS-funded National Forum on data management needs arising from large-scale video recording programs such as police body-worn cameras. -- Katherine S Kim Assistant Director Digital Library Federation (DLF) at CLIR diglib.org | clir.org | ndsa.org | @CLIRDLF _______________________________________________ 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=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id E6326AC43; Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:44:24 +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 s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1B435AC3A; Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:44:24 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 92183A79F; Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:44:21 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180427064421.92183A79F@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Fri, 27 Apr 2018 08:44:21 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.793 pubs: ISR on emotions; archaeology & information 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: <20180427064424.14273.63668@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 793.

The relevance of discussing the links between the disciplines of information and archaeology relates to the increasing societal significance of cultural heritage around the globe. In archaeology, improved understanding of archaeological information work, knowledge creation and management processes has been acknowledged as being critical in managing and exploiting the escalating amounts of archaeological data from archaeological excavations conducted prior to land-use around the world. From a theoretical and practical perspective, archaeology brings together methodological perspectives ranging from the humanities to the natural sciences, and serves as an interesting showcase of the problems, challenges and opportunities related to inter- and multi-disciplinary domains of information practices. Finally, similar to multiple areas of humanities and social science research, archaeology has provided inspiration and functioned as a powerful metaphor in critical research in the information field. Editors Isto Huvila (Uppsala University), Marija Dalbello (Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey), Costis Dallas (University of Toronto), Ixchel M. Faniel (OCLC Research), and Michael Olsson (University of Technology Sydney) Deadline for submitting a full manuscript to the special issue is June 30, 2018.

Samewords I call it. Some potential users may be kept from trying using it, as it requires you to run it through Python on the computer. So I have created an online web service. There is a UI version available here: http://samewords.stenskjaer.net/. Upload your edition file, wait a couple of seconds and get back the annotated version. For the more technically minded there is also a RESTful API endpoint that can be used to call the script on any file with a publicly reachable URL. A bit of documentation about how to use that can be found here: https://samewords.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html I hope this will make it easy for anyone to use the script in creation of their critical editions in LaTeX. Any feedback is of course very welcome.

The talk is open to the public, and tickets are free. If you wish to attend, please register on our Eventbrite page. Sound Studies is a newly emergent interdisciplinary field which studies the material production, transmission, storage, and consumption of music, sound, noise, and silence and how these have changed throughout history and within different societies. In this lecture Trevor will examine how a new electronic soundscape came into being with a new instrument, the Moog Electronic Music Synthesizer. He will tell the story of this invention in upstate New York in 1964-9 and place it within the context of wider developments in electronic music and the counter-cultural sixties. His approach uses work in Science and Technology Studies to better understand the history of musical instruments as sounding objects, documenting how certain sounds stabilized as part of a new electronic soundscape and how other sounds failed to do so. Biography Professor Trevor Pinch's main research centres on three areas: the sociology of technology and how users engage with technology, sound studies and music and in particular the development of musical instruments and sound objects, markets and the economy with specific attention to the study of selling and persuasion. He is also a performing musician with the Electric Golem, alongside James Spitznagel. Any questions?

The SIGHUM Workshops on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and Humanities (LaTeCH) have been a forum for researchers who develop new technologies for improved information access to data from the broadly understood humanities and social sciences. The ACL Workshops on Computational Linguistics for Literature (CLfL) have focussed on applications of NLP to a wide variety of literary data. The first joint workshop (LaTeCH-CLfL 2017) brought together people from both communities. We count on this workshop to broaden the scope of our work even further, and to encourage new common research initiatives. A highlight of the workshop will be Ted Underwood ’s invited talk. Topics and Content In the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Heritage communities, there is increasing interest in and demand for NLP methods for semantic annotation, intelligent linking, discovery, querying, cleaning and visualization of both primary and secondary data; this is even true of primarily non-textual collections, given that text is also the pervasive medium for metadata. Such applications pose new challenges for NLP research, such as noisy, non-standard textual or multi-modal input, historical languages, multilingual parts within one document, lack of digital resources, or resource-intensive approaches that call for (semi-)automatic processing tools and domain adaptation, or, as a last resort, intense manual effort (e.g., annotation). Literary texts bring their own problems, because navigating this form of creative expression requires more than the typical information-seeking tools. Examples of advanced tasks include the study of literature of a certain period or sub-genre, recognition of certain literary devices, or quantitative analysis of poetry. More generally, there is a growing interest in computational models whose results can be interpreted in meaningful ways. A common forum is mutually beneficial to NLP experts, data specialists, digital humanities researchers, and those who study literature. The second edition of the joint workshop has something for everyone in all such communities. We invite contributions on these, and closely related, topics: -- adapting NLP tools to Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and to the humanities including literature; automatic error detection and cleaning of textual data; building and analyzing social networks of literary characters; complex annotation schemas, tools and interfaces; dealing with linguistic variation and non-standard or historical use of language; discourse and narrative analysis/modelling, notably in literature; emotion analysis for the humanities and for literature; fully- or semi-automatic creation of semantic resources; -- generation of literary narrative, dialogue or poetry; identification and analysis of literary genres; linking and retrieving information from different sources, media, and domains; modelling dialogue literary style for generation; modelling of information and knowledge in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; profiling and authorship attribution; research infrastructure and standardisation efforts in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Cultural Heritage; searching for scientific and/or scholarly literature.
 Information for Authors We invite papers on original, unpublished work in the topic areas of the workshop. In addition to long papers, we will consider short papers and system descriptions (demos). We also welcome position papers. Long papers, presenting completed work, may consist of up to eight (8) pages of content, with two (2) additional pages of references. A short paper / demo can present work in progress, or the description of a system, and may consist of up to four (4) pages of content, with one (1) additional page of references. A position paper -- clearly marked as such -- should not exceed six (6) pages including references. All submissions are to use the ACL stylesheets (either .sty and .bst or .dot). Papers should be submitted electronically, in PDF, via the LaTeCH-CLfL2018 submission website: https://www.softconf.com/coling2018/ws-LaTeCH-CLfL2018/ Reviewing will be double-blind. Please do not include the authors’ names and affiliations, or any references to Web sites, project names, acknowledgements and so on -- anything that immediately reveals the authors’ identity. Self-references should be kept to a reasonable minimum, and anonymous citations cannot be used. Accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings, and later available in the ACL Anthology. Important Dates Paper submission deadline: May 25, 2018 Notification of acceptance: June 20, 2018 Camera-ready papers due: June 30, 2018 Workshop date: August 20 or August 25, 2018 More on the Organisers Beatrice Alex, School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh Stefania Degaetano-Ortlieb, Language Science and Technology, Saarland University Anna Feldman, Department of Linguistics & Department of Computer Science, Montclair State University Anna Kazantseva, National Research Council of Canada Nils Reiter, Institute for Natural Language Processing (IMS), Stuttgart University Stan Szpakowicz, School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, University of Ottawa _______________________________________________ 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=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id 48EECB594; Wed, 2 May 2018 07:20:49 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id 431CFB0E4; Wed, 2 May 2018 07:20:45 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id 97E8CB593; Wed, 2 May 2018 07:20:37 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180502052038.97E8CB593@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 07:20:37 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.798 events: architecture of the Holocaust; hermeneutics in history 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: <20180502052047.27455.87479@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 798.

The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) is organising a two day conference and workshop on occasion of the official launch of the Ranke.2 project, its teaching platform for Digital Source Criticism. The conference and workshop will revolve around the concept of “digital hermeneutics”, defined as the critical and self-reflexive use of digital tools and technologies for the development of new research questions, the testing of analytical assumptions and the production of sophisticated scientific interpretations. This two-day event will address both the theory and practice of digital hermeneutics, * Day 1 will have the format of a ‘traditional’ conference with sessions dedicated to the four key aspects of the concept of digital hermeneutics: source criticism, tool criticism, algorithmic criticism and interface criticism. * Day 2 will consist of workshops where participants will discuss the challenges of introducing digital history training in the history curriculum and will demonstrate best practices in an interactive setting. For the conference day we invite abstracts for individual papers of 30 minutes or complete sessions of 90 minutes. The maximum amount of words for individual papers is 500; in case of a session please submit a 500 word introduction with abstracts of the session’s papers of 300 words. Possible topics include: *reflections on hermeneutics in the digital age *source criticism versus digital source criticism *tool criticism *algorithmic criticism *interface criticism *pedagogical approaches to teaching digital history from an educational science perspective For the workshop day we invite proposals for sessions that can last from 90 to 120 minutes, and that should contain a clear objective of what the workshop aims to accomplish. The proposal should describe the envisaged interaction with and take away for participants, which could be in the form of practical guidelines or example case studies that can be emulated. Possible topics include: *The role of Learning Management Systems (Moodle, Blackboard, Canvas) in digital skills teaching *Digital storytelling through the use of tools *Teaching source criticism; tool criticism; algorithmic criticism; interface criticism Proposals can be sent to: digitalhermeneutics2018@gmail.com.

Labs, Duke University Time: 6-7pm Date:Thursday, 10th May 2018 Location: Philosophy Room S249, The Quadrangle The Holocaust was a profoundly spatial experience that involved not only the movement of millions of European Jews but also their confinement and murder in sites specifically built for the genocide. Paul Jaskot’s talk addresses how perpetrators thought of their building projects and, conversely, how victims experienced these oppressive spaces. Analyzing the architecture of the Holocaust helps us in understanding the larger development, implementation, and context of this crucial event. In addition to an architectural plan and a specific survivor testimony as examples, the lecture also explores how recent methods in the Digital Humanities - particularly digital mapping - can be used to investigate plans and testimonies to raise new questions about the architectural and historical significance of the Holocaust. Trouble in the Database: Precision and Ambiguity in Historical Sources Workshop Presenter: Paul Jaskot, Director, Wired! Labs, Duke University Date: Friday, 11 May 2018 Time: 2- 4pm Location: Fisher Exhibition Meeting Rm 223, Fisher library This workshop will offer a presentation and discussion of working with precision and ambiguity in historical sources. We will begin with an overview of the problem by looking at the case study of analyzing spatial information derived from an historical architectural journal and the problems and possibilities for visualization and analysis that such a source allows. The workshop will then move to open discussion of strategies and possibilities for working with ambiguity using digital methods. _______________________________________________ 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=-3.9 required=5.0 tests=ALL_TRUSTED,BAYES_00, MAILING_LIST_MULTI,URIBL_BLOCKED autolearn=ham version=3.3.1 X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@dhhumanist.org Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 110) id DB7D8B572; Wed, 2 May 2018 07:21:53 +0200 (CEST) X-Original-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Delivered-To: humanist-archiver@digitalhumanities.org Received: from s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (s16382816.onlinehome-server.info [127.0.0.1]) by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix) with ESMTP id E8E81AF80; Wed, 2 May 2018 07:21:51 +0200 (CEST) Received: by s16382816.onlinehome-server.info (Postfix, from userid 10009) id B9E00AC2D; Wed, 2 May 2018 07:21:47 +0200 (CEST) From: Humanist Discussion Group To: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Message-Id: <20180502052147.B9E00AC2D@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> Date: Wed, 2 May 2018 07:21:47 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Humanist] 31.799 pubs: Mill's marginalia 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: <20180502052153.28082.84798@s16382816.onlinehome-server.info> X-PPP-Vhost: digitalhumanities.org Humanist Discussion Group, Vol. 31, No. 799.

He begins: > In her seminal work The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human > Feeling (1983), the sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild described a > workplace practice known as "emotional labor management." Hochschild > was studying the extreme kinds of "emotional labor" that airline > stewardesses, bill collectors, and shop assistants, among others, > had to perform in their daily routines. They were obliged, in her > words, "to induce or suppress feeling in order to sustain the > outward countenance that produces the proper state of mind in > others." In the case of airline stewardesses, the managers and human > resources staff of the airline companies relied on reports from > passengers or management spies to make sure that stewardesses kept up > their cheerful greetings and radiant smiles no matter what.... But > in the twenty-first century, new technologies have emerged that > enable companies as varied as Amazon, the British supermarket chain > Tesco, Bank of America, Hitachi, and the management consultants > Deloitte to achieve what Hochschild's managers could only imagine: > continuous oversight of their workers' behavior. Much could be said. Shoshana Zuboff said it far better than I could (In the Age of the Smart Machine, 1988) of a somewhat earlier technological state. But apart from what anyone who is morally outraged could say, given what as digitally committed scholars and fellow travellers in the humanities we are good at saying, how do we respond? What is to be done in/with digital humanities? Allow me to suggest, because it is the only suggestion I can defend, one word, 'education', and so to offer for discussion this (I hope) better question: how would we best educate? What thought-seed would we plant? What life worth living would we describe in terms so appealing that the chains Marx spoke of would fall off of their own accord?

The following is Call for Papers of DADH 2018. 9th International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities (DADH 2018) Theme: Facing the Era of AI+ DHVenue: Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts (DILA), Jinshan District, New Taipei City, Taiwan Date: December 18 - 21, 2018 URL: http://dadh2018.dila.edu.tw/?lang=en The Digital Humanities is an emerging field of research, the term itself having only been coined in 2004. Notwithstanding the fact that research in this area is quite new, the digital humanities have been flourishing at an unprecedented rate. In recent years, whether in Europe, America, Asia or Taiwan, various research institutes and teams dedicated to research and development in the digital humanities have been established. This demonstrates the high level of interest in and importance attached to this field by the community. The core concept of the field of digital humanities is the application of modern digital technologies to the disciplines of the traditional humanities, in order to overcome the limitations of traditional research methodologies. This combination of knowledge and technology, in an interdisciplinary manner, is unachievable in any single area. The development of the field of digital humanities is in fact indissociable from the progress of new digital technologies. These new technologies not only provide new methods of data analysis, but can also be used to create new types of digital resources. In recent years, major breakthroughs have been made in the field of artificial intelligence. Various types of A.I. technologies have gradually evolved from theoretical speculation into concrete reality with practical applications, with remarkable results. However, to answer what the intelligence is makes A.I. deeply related to humanities. For example, Natural Language Processing technology in A.I. assembles an important subdomain of linguistics — computational linguistics. Besides, A.I. technologies which mimic the structure of human intelligence, such as the Semantic Web, Ontology, the Knowledge Graph, Linked Open Data, are based on the theory of ontology in philosophy. What kind of applications and breakthroughs can these digital technologies bring to the digital humanities? How should humanities scholars view the results of an artificial intelligence based on digital resources? Compared to traditional humanities studies which only consider a limited corpus of text, artificial intelligence can process a large body of data, with the exception of a limited number of research methods. In the last analysis, do these new technologies provide more help for the study of the humanities, or are their results unconvincing? All these topics are subjects this conferences seeks to examine and discuss. Given the growth of the field of the digital humanities, this conference will continue over the years to research every facet of the digital humanities, but will also include the topic of ‘Facing the Era of AI+DH’ as its theme. We invite scholars and experts, at home and abroad, to participate in this session, and look forward to creating new milestones in digital studies through dialog and exchange. Topics of Interest We invite submissions of abstracts relating (but not limited) to the following aspects of artificial intelligence and digital humanities: - Development of digital technologies and their applications to help advance humanities studies (including digital media, data mining, software design, and modeling, etc.). - Applications of text mining, social network analysis, visualization and graphics. - Interdisciplinary research and humanities research in literature studies, linguistics, culture, history, etc., conducted with digital data and technology. - Digital Humanities Theory and Epistemology - Impact of digital humanities on humanities education. - Innovative forms of digital arts such as music, film and theatre; and digital applications such as digital design, virtual reality, games and new media. - Other DH-related topics.Submission Guidelines Submission of a single paper abstract, poster abstract, or a panel proposal is welcomed. All submissions are to be done online. (website: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dadh2018) Submitted abstract for a single paper should contain 1,000-3,000 words. Submitted abstract for a poster should contain 750-1,500 words. Submitted panel proposal should contain at least 1,500 words.

The presentations are free to watch! Check out the livestream on our website: http://aroundtheworld.ualberta.ca/ Today (Thursday), we'll have a panel on 'Academic Responsibility and Climate Activism' that interrogates the climate cost of flying to academic conferences. One of our speakers, NASA climate scientist Peter Kalmus, has recently been in the news for his outspoken views on this issue. See his Guardian editorial: and blog http://becycling.life/ . This Friday, May 4th, we'll also be exploring 'Conscious Computing: From Energy Consumption to the Ethics of Data Viz', with talks on the 'Impact of the Digital Revolution on World Wide Energy Consumption,' minimal computing, and more. Check out the schedule below! And watch the talks from earlier in the week on the KIAS YouTube channel . cheers, Chelsea Miya --------- 2018 Around the World e-Conference (April 30-May 4) "Sustainable Research: Modelling Nearly Carbon-Neutral Practices in the 21st Century" Presented by the Kule Institute for Advanced Study (KIAS) Daily Events: April 30th - May 4th (see website http://aroundtheworld.ualberta.ca/ for complete schedule) The Around the World Conference is an experiment that brings together a research dialogue without the environmental cost of traditional conferences. This is a hybrid e-Conference event, which means it will be screened for live audiences at the University of Alberta and our other partner institutes as well as live-streamed around the world. Registration is free! During the week's events, viewers are invited to take part in the online conversation and submit questions for our guests. Why the theme of "Sustainable Research"? Traditional conferences have a surprisingly large CO2 footprint. According to a recent study by researchers at the UCSB nearly one-third of CO2 emissions produced by university campuses come from flying to conferences and other academic related events. This conference is an opportunity to stimulate discussion about sustainable research in its many forms as well as address the question of how we as an academic community can work together to learn how to better mobilize ideas without flying so many people. All events are free and open to the public. Watch the livestream online at: http://aroundtheworld.ualberta.ca Tweet us at #ATW2018 !

Department of Digital Humanities, King's College London www.digitalhumanities.org/humanist Submit to: humanist@lists.digitalhumanities.org Date: Fri, 4 May 2018 11:20:04 -0700 From: Kathi Inman Berens Subject: cfp: CREATIVE MAKING -- Journal of Creative Writing Studies Call for Papers: Journal of Creative Writing Studies http://scholarworks.rit.edu/jcws/ Special Issue, ed. Kathi Inman Berens Theme: Creative Making as Creative Writing Call for papers: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qtTsS6tCr2XfN9nROelyP9bO2rRnP4SbvfXJz1aMVFs/edit#heading=h.j4jmw41g3r5l Deadline: Abstracts: 15 July 2018; Completed Work: 1 November 2018 Theme Description Historically, the phrase “creative writing” has stood for writing closely aligned with printed literature. However, digital technologies have caused us to rethink the relationship between author, medium, story, and audience. The transformed media landscape has also meant that we’ve needed to expand notions of what types of activities make one a “writer” and what constitutes “literature.” This special issue on “Creative Making” seeks scholarly essays and statements of creative practice that tackle questions of “creativity” and “making” in the context of creative writing. It considers questions of craft, pedagogy, embodiment, and experience. What practices fall under the umbrella of “creative writing” in the 21st century? How does the experience of “making” creative writing influence how we understand literature today? What about the work of digital circulation of creative expression? Are people who repost memes “writing” because they’re making creative statements? Is there a threshold for experiential creation that demarcates active “writing” from lurking, reading and “liking” in digital environments? Creative writers should feel at liberty to experiment with the form of an artist’s statement. It could be - Text only- Multimodal - Collaborative or single-authored - A collection of student work (we have instructions for securing permission) - A publisher’s mission. What is “publication” in the era of always-on micropublishing in social media? The goal is to connect one’s creative praxis with the study of creative writing. A non-exhaustive list of possible scholarly subjects includes: - Analog creative making: face-to-face workshops, zines, letterpress, other forms - Creative making and service learning. Example: “Writing in the Community http://dornsife.usc.edu/340-featured-class ,” a course created by Stephanie Bower and John Murray. - Creative making and the origins of creative writing as experiential (c.f. Elbow 1998, Writing Without Teachers; Bishop 1990, Released into Language: Options for Teaching Creative Writing). - Creative making in required writing courses - Creative making as cultural critique - Student-run journals or reading series as creative making - Digital literary exhibition or curation as creative making - Creative making and writing with disabilities: drugs, therapies, adaptive strategies - Game mods as creative writing - Fan world building as creative writing- Social media as site and occasion of creative writing [...] Questions?
