        From: Franz Fischer 
        Subject: Venice Virtual Summer Camp on Digital and Public Humanities, 6 - 10 July 2020

It was with great disappointment that we had to cancel the first Venice
Summer School in Digital and Public Humanities due to the coronavirus
emergency. All the more, we are now happy to announce the first Venice
Virtual Summer Camp on Digital and Public Humanities to take place from 6 -
10 July 2020. It is a condensed version of the original training programme,
transformed and adapted to the online modality and the circumstances of the
Covid-19 pandemic. As a positive side effect, a large number of seminars
and presentations can now be offered without registration and free of
charge as open events. Other training sessions are restricted to a number
of participants and places have been reserved for the successful applicants
of the originally planned Summer School in Venice.

The virtual summer camp is organised by the Venice Centre for Digital and
Public Humanities (https://www.unive.it/vedph) and includes four different
thematic strands: (1) Digital Textual Scholarship, (2) Digital and Public
History, (3) Digital and Public Art History, and (4) Digital Archaeology
and its Public.

Classes will be delivered by the colleagues from the centre and other
expert scholars from internationally renowned institutions. We are most
grateful to everyone being actively involved in the realisation of an
outstanding programme. A special thanks goes to our keynote speakers Elena
Pierazzo (Tours) and Fabio Vitali (Bologna).

More details below. All information will be published asap on the Venice
Virtual Summer Camp website: https://vedph.github.io/summercamp.

Strand #1: Digital Textual Scholarship

This strand provides a brief overview of theories and practices in digital
scholarly editing. Participants will be introduced to the very basics of
markup and text encoding, linked open data and semantic web technologies,
documentation and analysis of material textual aspects, and tools and
applications for publication. The format will alternate open seminars with
laboratory sessions and hands-on exercises restricted to successful
applicants of the originally planned summer school. The famous travel
report of the Venetian explorer Marco Polo will serve as a starting point
(as preserved in an illustrated manuscript copy from the Bodleian Library).
Further resources and all teaching materials will be freely accessible on
our Github repository:

Strand #2: Digital and Public History

This strand focuses on the application of digital technologies and a public
approach to historical research and dissemination. The classes aim at
giving an overview of very different topics, ranging from memory to social
media, from television to digital tools, offering reflections on how we
connect to, reconstruct, understand and eventually tell our past with
digital and public methodologies. The strand includes activities that the
students can perform on their own before getting feedback from the teacher.
A special attention will be devoted to the intersection between history and
the exceptional situation we're going through due to the Covid-19 emergency.

Strand #3: Digital and Public Art History

This strand focuses on the technological development and its cultural
implications which occurred in the arts sector over the last decades. In
doing this, the digital aspect is approached both on the side of artistic
production and the art system as well as on the side of museums and art
historical representation. The issues of technological change, digital
nativity, virtual realms and digital tools will be discussed also in the
context of the current international situation of crisis. Both the
theoretical debate and practical tools for digital art historians shall be
explored by means of lectures and labs, which will include a hands-on
workshop on tools for digital analysis of illustrations, a students' forum
on digital culture at the time of Covid-19, and a roundtable to discuss
recent tools and developments in Digital and Public Art History with
experts of European renown.

Strand #4: Digital Archaeology and its Public

This strand focuses on theories and practices that archaeologists apply in
surveys, remote sensing, spatial analysis, data collection and data
management. Participants will engage in digital strategies to analyze the
heritage and visualize, share and communicate it to the public. Moreover,
taking advantage of the recent Covid-19 lockdown experience, and using
archaeological tools and methods, Strand #4 aims to explore how the
materiality of representative objects that shaped/are shaping our daily
life may be narrated, interpreted, visualized and digitized.
