Hi Folks, Here are some links to resources that might be helpful in this regard. >From MLA: Statement on Publication in Electronic Journals http://www.mla.org/resources/documents/rep_it/statement_on_publica Guidelines for Evaluating Work with Digital Media in the Modern Languages http://www.mla.org/resources/documents/rep_it/guidelines_evaluation_digital Guidelines for Institutional Support of and Access to IT for Faculty Members and Students http://www.mla.org/resources/documents/rep_it/it_support I've seen each used in literary studies and modern language T&P processes over the past year or two. And an earlier statement from my own institution, helpful in this regard, is the 'Report On Academic Computing Recognition', at http://ise.uvic.ca/Foyer/CompRecog.html Cheers, Ray

Electronic scholarship, Peer Review and Tenure
by James Ginther 21 Mar '07

21 Mar '07

My dept has begun a review of tenure requirements and one of the questions posed is whether (or how) electronic scholarship could become part of the research components of our tenure requirements. Peer review is the cornerstone of qualifying research production and so my colleagues are wondering if there are any established guidelines for peer review of web-based projects, or stand alone applications, that are not published by a traditional publisher. The issue is NOT about e-journals which retain the standard peer review process, but rather projects or applications that do not normally go through standard scholarly evaluations (although they often undergo more severe critique by the Academy in an informal manner). Has anyone addressed this in their department or university? I am simply looking for some basic guidelines or sustained discussion on how to integrate the kind of research we do on this list, and/or the methods to demonstrate its comparative value to traditional forms of scholarship.

The fellowship is funded by the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation and is offered jointly through the Georg Brandes School at the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, Copenhagen University, and the Department of Literature, Institute for the Sociology of Literature, Uppsala University. The successful candidate will be expected to divide his or her time between Copenhagen and Uppsala, and will be allocated a supervisor from each institution, the principal supervisor however will be a professor or associate professor from the University of Copenhagen. Funding is provided for a research project within the area known as "the sociology of texts", meaning that texts are regarded not as abstract bearers of meaning but rather as historical phenomena which have physical manifestations and are the products of social interaction. This point of view necessitates an awareness of the factors and agents which are involved in the cultural processes of production, dissemination and reception, as texts are constantly recast, re-issued and reinterpreted by different people at different times. It is assumed that the research project will combine a theoretical perspective with a specific body of texts. The research undertaken by the PhD candidate might focus on one - or combine several - of the following areas: 1. An historical investigation into the various agents involved in textual production - paper-makers, printers, publishers etc. - and the working methods and conventions developed in these areas, such as page layout, font design, orthography and punctuation, marketing strategies and so on. 2. A study of the transmission of an individual work (e.g. a chapbook) or group of works (e.g. those of a particular author). 3. Scholarly editing, including a discussion of the principles for the establishment of the text and the provision of commentary. 4. A study of reception, including reviews and criticism in particular periods and places, reading circles, the history of book collections and libraries and patterns of readers' behaviour. 5. A consideration, from a text-sociological point of view, of traditional literary-critical concepts such as the author, authorial intention, authorisation, textual errors, the model and empirical reader, copyright, censorship, literary genre and interpretation. Applicants must possess a Master's Degree or the equivalent or expect to possess one by May 1, 2007. All applicants must have submitted a thesis and enclose an assessment of it along with the application. Appointment as a PhD fellow is subject to the rules of the Faculty of Humanities.

Membership update
by Herdsman Caedmon 15 Mar '07

15 Mar '07

I was doing some membership maintenance--a spammer is trying VERY hard to join dm-l (unsuccessfully)--and thought, since we have a nominations deadline and elections approaching, that I'd let people know where we stand: 341 members. That's up about 100 since last summer, I believe. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative <http://www.tei-c.org/> Director, Digital Medievalist Project <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/> Associate Professor and Chair of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox: +1 403 329 2378 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 Homepage: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

Conference Session Call for Papers: Markup as Theory of the Text
by Herdsman Caedmon 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

(apologies for cross posting) Hi all, In keeping with the TEI Call for Papers for their member's meeting (1-3 November 2007, University of Maryland), I would like to put together a proposal for a session on Markup as a theory of text. This topic came up on TEI several months ago and received some expressions of interest. Basically, I am wondering about two types of questions: 1) What are the theoretical implications of digital markup for editors, paleographers, book historians, literary critics, linguists, etc. Are they different from, similar to, or of a completely different order from previous print practice? 2) Are markup schemas theories of the structure of a text in the way that linguistic theories are theories of language or literary theories are theories about literature? Do they/should they have theoretical lives of their own? Of course I'm open to other understandings of the topic and papers do not need to concentrate specifically, exclusively, or at all on the TEI. They can be broad ranging or concentrate on specific smaller issues. To keep with the TEI submission guidelines, I'd like to have abstracts emailed to me daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca (*not* the address I am using to post to this mailing list) by March 26th, so that I have sufficient time to come up with a slate before the TEI's April 6 deadline. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative <http://www.tei-c.org/> Director, Digital Medievalist Project <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/> Associate Professor and Chair of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox: +1 403 329 2378 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 Homepage: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

TEI Member's Meeting cfp
by Herdsman Caedmon 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

Hi all, I'm forwarding this to our list because the Members' Meeting this year is trying out a new more-conference-like and less business-meeting-like approach. As a member of the planning committee for the conference, moreover, I can assure you that we are looking for a broad range of approaches to markup and/or the TEI--and not just "boy this koolaid sure is tasty." -dan ---------------------------- The TEI Members' Meeting 1-3 November 2007 University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA *TEI@20*: 20 Years of Supporting the Digital Humanities The Organizing Committee of this anniversary TEI Members' Meeting invites individual paper proposals, panel sessions, and poster/tool demonstrations on the theme, broadly conceived, 'The TEI@20: 20 Years of Supporting the Digital Humanities'. Topics might include but are not restricted to * Building and using tools for TEI-based text encoding * Teaching TEI: Challenges and Opportunities * TEI as a theory of text * TEI: the next 20 years * New career opportunities for those using the TEI * Lacunae and omissions: new directions for the TEI Paper presenters will be allocated 30 minutes to speak, 25 minutes for delivery, and five minutes for questions. Alternatively, group sessions can be organized for 1.5 hours each and may be of varied formats, including: * A working papers session (pre-circulated papers) * A round-table discussion * Software demonstrations Of the formats described above, a working paper session might be more appropriate for a smaller group, all of whom have all read the pre-circulated papers in advance. This type of format may span more than one session and will be held concurrently with the general session. Submission Procedure /Individual paper proposals/: submit a title, brief abstract (no more than 500 words), the name of the presenter, institutional affiliation, and email address. /Panel sessions/: submit a session title, brief overview of the session (no more than 300 words), abstracts of each of the papers (no more than 500 words each) OR a 500 word abstract for a panel discussion, the names of each of the participants, their institutional affiliations, and email addresses. /Poster Session/Tool Demonstration/: submit a title, brief abstract (no more than 500 words), the name of the presenter, institutional affiliation, and email address. The local organizer will provide a flip chart and a table for each presenter, along with wireless internet access. All poster session participants will have an opportunity to participate in a poster slam immediacy preceding the poster session/reception. All submissions should be sent to Conference Chair, Sebastian Rahtz <mailto:sebastian.rahtz@oucs.ox.ac.uk> <mailto:sebastian.rahtz@oucs.ox.ac.uk%3E> by 6 April 2007.
