Dear colleagues,
Here is a newly-published collection of essays that may interest you.
Kind greetings,
Claire Clivaz, University of Lausanne (CH)
Digital Humanities in Biblical, Early Jewish and Early Christian Studies, Leiden: Brill, 2013.
Edited by Claire Clivaz, University of Lausanne, Andrew Gregory, University of Oxford and David Hamidovic, University of Lausanne,
in collaboration with Sara Schulthess, University of Lausanne
Ancient texts, once …
[View More]written by hand on parchment and papyrus, are now increasingly discoverable online in newly digitized editions, and their readers now work online as well as in traditional libraries. So what does this mean for how scholars may now engage with these texts, and for how the disciplines of biblical, Jewish and Christian studies might develop? These are the questions that contributors to this volume address. Subjects discussed include textual criticism, palaeography, philology, the nature of ancient monotheism, and how new tools and resources such as blogs, wikis, databases and digital publications may transform the ways in which contemporary scholars engage with historical sources. Contributors attest to the emergence of a conscious recognition of something new in the way that we may now study ancient writings, and the possibilities that this new awareness raises.

Dear all,
Apologies for cross-posting.
Please find below the details of next week's CeRch seminar, the last of 2013:
Détournement of applications as a creative tool (lecture/performance) - Brian Reffin Smith, Collège de 'Pataphysique, Paris
Date: Tuesday, 10th December, 2013 from 6:15 PM to 7:30 PM (GMT)
Location: Anatomy Museum Space, 6th Floor, King's College London (Strand campus)

The seminar will be followed by wine and festive nibbles.
All the best,
Valentina Asciutti
Abstract: The French word "Détournement", loosely translatable as hijacking, leading astray or appropriation, describes the sideways or "alt" use of computer applications outside their original fields: for example the use of medical imaging software to make movies, of spelling checkers to scramble text, or of fluid behaviour modelling software to make drawings. It is a two-way process and win-win situation, because "unauthorised" or simply crazy uses of apps can feed back ideas into their mainstream application as well as leading to creative splurges in other disciplines. Examples, some interactive, will be shown of hijacking computer software and iPad apps into areas of art, sound, text, cognitive psychology and because of the venue, anatomy (it is recommended not to eat before this seminar).
Bio: Brian Reffin Smith is a writer, artist, theoretician, zombie and musician. He has spent about 40 years teaching ideas of "détournement", using them for art and writing about them, and is a pioneer of computer based conceptual art. He won the very first Golden Nike (the 'Oscars' of computer art) at Ars Electronica, Linz, Austria and his art and text works are shown internationally. His fields of activity are computer-based art and general creativity, performance art, Zombie studies and 'Pataphysics, the science of imaginary solutions. He is a book reviewer for Leonardo. He was for 25 years a French civil servant, as Professeur, Art et Informatique, in the École Nationale Supérieure d'Art, Bourges, France. He holds the Chair of Catachemistry and Speculative Metallurgy in the Paris-based Collège de 'Pataphysique, and lives in Berlin, Germany.

Centre for e-Research Seminar Series*
The Centre for e-Research (CeRch) at King's College London runs an
interdisciplinary seminar programme on alternate Tuesday evenings during
term time.
With viewpoints from many disciplines including the sciences, social
sciences and humanities, the series' primary focus is to stimulate
discussion and provide new and innovative insight into design,
development and use of digitally-based methods and technologies, and the
theoretical issues that they raise (especially where they interact with
a range of other fields).
Previous topics have included visualisation, webometrics, digital
research infrastructures, computational creativity, motion data,
computational linguistics, cultural value and social network analysis,
among many others. Details of recent seminars in this series can be seen at
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/groups/cerch/research/seminars/ .
The series invites contributions for talks engaging with innovative
questions or applications, using technology-enhanced methods. The series
provides excellent networking opportunities, and will be of interest to
anyone interested in debates around theories and practice in computing
and digital technologies.
Seminars are held fortnightly on Tuesdays during term time at 6.15pm
(unless otherwise stated) in the Anatomy Museum Space, at King's College
London, Strand Campus
(http://www.kcl.ac.uk/cultural/spaces/anatomy-museum.aspx).
Seminars are followed by drinks and nibbles.
