CFP: 18-19 April 2013 Workshop "Easy Tools for Difficult Texts?"
by Joris van Zundert 25 Jan '13

25 Jan '13

Call for papers, ISCH COST Action IS1005 Medieval Europe - Medieval Cultures and Technological Resources, Working Group 2, Manuscripts and textual tradition, to be hosted at Huygens ING, Den Haag, Netherlands, on 18-19 April 2013. "Easy Tools for Difficult Texts?" Medieval manuscripts and codices are notoriously difficult to convince to become well behaved inhabitants of the digital scholarly ecosystem. Meanwhile over the last decades many digital local computerized services, web based tools, and stand alone applications have been developed to create, publish, and analyze digital representations of manuscript and printed text. Although such tools have been trying to accommodate for medieval manuscripts –and sometimes were even solely developed for that purpose– a true convenient and intuitive means of re-representing medieval text in the digital medium seems elusive. The nature of medieval texts –ambiguous, uncertain, instable, often of unknown origin and descent, of puzzling function and context, damaged, fragmented, still unconventional in their multiplicity of form, format, language, orthography, typography, and script– poses an ultimate challenge to creators and users of digital tools wishing to produce useful and reliable digital counterparts to these medieval sources of knowledge and testimonies of intellectual creativity. The Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands and the COST Action IS1005 "Medieval Europe" are organizing a two-day workshop that seeks to gather a number of experts in methodologies and tool creation around the complex issue of transferring medieval manuscripts to a digital medium. The workshop, to be held at the Huygens Institute in The Hague on 18 and 19 April 2013, will create an overview of the state of the art of tool development, and of the difficulties and extreme requirements medieval manuscript poses to digital methods and techniques. The first day will consist of introductions and demonstrations, as well as thorough methodological reflection on a number of tools highly visible in the field of digital textual scholarship. The second day will consist of theoretical and methodological focused papers and the creation of an inventory of common difficulties and unsupported features essential to digital philology of medieval manuscripts. We invite all interested experts to submit an abstract for a proposed paper of no more than 500 words. We urge authors of proposals to include relevant literature references (not counted as word count), to assist the audience in its orientation in this more technical part of the field. Send your abstract to congres(a)huygens.knaw.nl <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', 'congres(a)huygens.knaw.nl');>, before 15 February 2013. Please mention “COST Workshop” in the subject field. Presenters will be reimbursed (according to the rules of the COST organisation) for their travel and accommodation expenses. Since the budget is restricted, however, we can only accommodate a limited number of people. If you are under the happy circumstance that you would not have to rely on funding by COST, please let us know, so that we can fit in more presenters. The proceedings of the workshop will be published. For further information, you can write to congres(a)huygens.knaw.nl <javascript:_e({}, 'cvml', 'congres(a)huygens.knaw.nl');>. Again, please mention “COST Workshop” in the subject field. Workshop Organizers: Mariken Teeuwen (Huygens ING) Joris van Zundert (Huygens ING) Caroline Macé (Catholic University Leuven) -- Drs. Joris J. van Zundert *Researcher & Developer Digital and Computational Humanities * Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands *Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences * www.huygens.knaw.nl/en/vanzundert/ ------- *Jack Sparrow: I thought you were supposed to keep to the code.

Digital Philology 1.2 (Fall 2012)
by Albert Lloret 23 Jan '13

23 Jan '13

Dear Colleagues, The first themed issue of Digital Philology (vol. 1, n. 2, Fall 2012) came out earlier this month. Guest-edited by Tracy Adams, this exciting new number is devoted to explore the links between "Devotion and Emotions in the Middle Ages," or rather, in the editor's own words "the work to which our medieval forebears put what we today think of as emotions: how they used emotions for making sense of human nature, keeping the peace, educating communities, marking social distinctions." The current issue of Digital Philology also includes a manuscript study and three reviews of digital resources. You may access DPh 1.2 on-line through Project Muse at: <http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/digital_philology/toc/dph.1.2.html> We are accepting submissions for the 2014 and 2015 open issues. You may find our call for papers, as well as some authorial guidelines, at: <http://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/digital_philology/guidelines.html> Sincerely, Albert Lloret Albert Lloret, PhD Assistant Professor Dept. of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Spanish and Portuguese University of Massachusetts 433 Herter Hall 161 Presidents Drive Amherst, MA 01003 Managing Editor Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures <http://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/digital_philology/index.html>
