"Computing / Humanities: Whats the Relationship?"
Willard McCarty (Professor emeritus, King's College London)

"Territoriality in Cyberspace: Dealing with Contested Geographies in the
Age of Google Maps"
Stuart Dunn (Senior Lecturer in Digital Humanities & Deputy Head, DDH)
This talk will offer a brief overview of how conflict and competing
claims on physical land are represented in the digital world. Drawing on
examples from Cyprus and Greece, it will ask the question of how the
digital is driving us to reconsider the idea of what a border is.

"Thinking and Modelling Spatio-Temporality across Languages"
Gabriele Salciute Civiliene (Lecturer in Digital Humanities Education, DDH)
Language helps us talk about mental representations of time and space.
The metaphors of spatializing time and temporalizing space differ,
revealing how we reason across cultures. Language use and text making,
on the other hand, are situated in and enmeshed with our being in and
experience of time and space whose intimacy, specificity, and
multiplicity are hidden underneath the conventionalized surface of
texts. In this talk, I will consider how the computing of translations
by repetemes (i.e. strings of repetitions) opens up, among other things,
a possibility for modelling spatio-temporal patterns that instantiate
Gadamers being-in-the-world-through-being-in-language.

"Visualizing St Petersburg Based on Russian Corpus Analysis"
Antonina Puchkovskaia (Associate Professor, ITMO University,
Saint-Petersburg, Russia)
What is/are Digital Humanities? How to rise a research question
challenging enough for both Humanities and Computer Science fields? What
are the challenges of doing DH at the predominantly STEM-based
University? This lecture will revolve around interdisciplinary research
in progress situated at the intersection of history, librarian studies,
cultural studies, and information technologies. The aim of this research
is to create an open-source-software-based web application by using
historical and cultural heritage data on the key landmarks of St.
Petersburg. Our deliverables are an educational database and web/mobile
applications into which users will be able to tap by means of
retrospective visualization and an interactive city map that would track
nearby objects via users geolocation. To that end, we are analyzing
both sources and records. In our case, sources are manuscripts that
range from a single paragraph to a multi-volume book. Records are source
fragments that can range from a single record to hundreds of sections,
pages, or paragraphs in a book. Our database schema links people,
occasions, and dates based on primary sources. Finally, all objects are
being mapped onto an interactive city map of St. Petersburg, the
interface of which will facilitate easy navigation and allow filtering
by different categories such as restaurants, music salons, and apartments.

The CART-ography Project: Cataloguing Ancient Routes and Travels in the
Mani Peninsula
The CART-ography Project (Cataloguing Ancient Routes and Travels in the
Mani Peninsula) is a new multidisciplinary archaeological and DH
research initiative that documents and analyzes the routes of early
explorers to the Mani peninsula in southern Lakonia, Greece. The project
will assess the value of travelers' records in reconstructing
archaeological landscapes. We present our methodology and preliminary
results of the project: first, how we use GIS to reconstruct the routes
taken by early travelers throughout the Mani peninsula, including
Pausanias, Cyriacus of Ancona, Colonel Leake and Patrick Leigh Fermor;
and second, the goals for the 2019 fieldwork season.
