Dear Scholars and Students,

We are delighted to announce the availability of twelve positions for a
three-day Workshop entitled 'How to Design, Manage and Publish
Ontologies on the Semantic Web: A Guide for the Digital Humanist'. The
workshop will be led by Anas Fahad Khan and Andrea Bellandi from the
Istituto di Linguistica Computazionale (CNR-ILC) with a keynote by
Monica Monachini (CNR-ILC), the national coordinator of CLARIN-IT. It
will take place from the 9th March - 15:00 to the 11th March - 16:30 at
the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities(VeDPH), Palazzo
Malcanton-Marcorà, Dorsoduro 3484/D - 30123 Venice.

The workshop is free of charge. Further details will soon be available
on the VeDPH website: https://www.unive.it/vedph

We would ask anyone who may be interested in attending to reply to this
mail by responding to the following questions (in case of a large number
of applications, candidates will be selected on the basis of their
stated motivation and current research project).

Questions:
1. What is your academic background?
2. What are your research interests in general?
3. What is/are your currently active research project(s)?
4. What is your current level of knowledge about ontologies and linked data?
5. What do you expect to learn at the seminar?
6. How do you expect to apply it to your project(s)?

In addition to the March workshop, on 11th February another LOD-related
seminar will take place -- as a separate event -- in Ca' Foscari,
organized by the BIFLOW ERC Project and the VeDPH, entitled "Filologia
digitale e Web semantico: l'esempio dell’edizione dei Documenti d’amore
di Francesco da Barberino". Further details on the February seminar will
be available in https://www.unive.it/data/33113/2/37218 and
https://biflow.hypotheses.org/. Please note that applications are only
needed for the 9-11th March workshop, since the 11th February seminar is

        Subject: CFP Children's Literature and Digital Humanities, University of Antwerp, 22-23 October 2020

Dear colleagues,

Vanessa Joosen and Wouter Haverals of the UAntwerp's Department of Literature
asked me to forward the following Call for Papers for a conference on
Children's literature and Digital Humanities they are organising in October.

We hope to welcome you in Antwerp for the occasion!
All the best,

Call for Papers
Children's Literature and Digital Humanities
University of Antwerp, 22-23 October 2020

In recent years, Digital Humanities has had a big impact on the field of
literary studies as a whole, but its presence in children's literature studies
has been limited so far. This two-day conference seeks to unite scholars using
digital tools for the analysis of children's literature, culture and media to
reflect on the state of the art, exchange methodological expertise, discuss
avenues and issues for further research and build networks. We welcome abstracts
for 20-minute papers, 1-hour round-table discussions and poster presentations on
the following topics:

-- Building and using digital archives of children's books
-- Methodological opportunities and challenges in applying DH to
children's literature
-- Macroanalytic approaches to children's literature (with a focus on
e.g. canonisation, cultural change, diversity)
-- Topic modelling and children's books
-- Stylometric approaches to children's literature
-- Network analysis and children's literature (both content analysis
and network analyses of the field)
-- Digital analyses of visuals in children's books
-- Digital scholarly editing of children's books
-- Methodologies for exploring digital adaptations of children's
literature (e-books, audio books, animated picture books)
-- Bridging the gap between computational approaches to children's
literature and the dissemination of results to a wide audience
-- Digital tools to organize and facilitate children's literature
research

Send 400-word abstracts and short bios to childlit@uantwerpen.be
before 15 March 2020. Indicate if you want to give a paper, host a round-table 
discussion or present a poster. Selected participants will be notified before 
1 April 2020.

This conference is hosted by the Antwerp Centre for Digital Humanities and
Literary Criticism (ACDC), in collaboration with the research team of the ERC-
funded project Constructing Age for Young Readers (CAFYR). The conference
organisers are Vanessa Joosen and Wouter Haverals.
