CeRch Seminar - October 1st
by kcl - cerch 24 Sep '13

24 Sep '13

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Please find below the details of next week's CeRch seminar: Network analytic approaches to the production and propagation of literary and artistic value (Daniel Allington) Tuesday, October 1st, 2013 from 6:15 PM to 7:30 PM (GMT) Anatomy Theatre and Museum, King's College London: http://www.kcl.ac.uk/cultural/atm/location.aspx Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is requested: <https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8348373209> https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8348373209 The seminar will be followed by wine and nibbles. All the best, Valentina Asciutti Abstract: According to Bourdieu, the value of art, literature, etc is a form of belief that is produced within the cultural field and then propagated outwards into wider society through public-facing cultural institutions - as in the case of the 'writer's writer' who is initially read only by his or her peers, but who becomes 'consecrated' (i.e. canonised) thanks to peer esteem and eventually finds a mass readership through school or university syllabi. In this talk, I shall lay out two innovative methodologies for studying these processes through social network analysis. This is potentially controversial because of Bourdieu's much-discussed preference for Multiple Correspondence Analysis. However, I shall argue that, just as the abstract mathematical space of Multiple Correspondence Analysis forms a useful analogue for Bourdieu's conception of field, the no-less abstract structure of a directed graph forms a useful analogue for his understanding of the production of value within a field, and of its subsequent propagation beyond that field. The first of the methodologies I shall present focuses on the production of value. It has already been trialled through a case study of interactive fiction, with results of this investigation to appear in my monograph, Literature in the Digital Economy (forthcoming from Palgrave, 2014), and elsewhere. As I will argue by reference to ongoing research, the same methodology can potentially yield important insights when applied to other cultural forms. The second of these methodologies focuses on the propagation of value, and thus provides a possible approach to the study of the impact of the arts on wider society, as well as a bridge between the two major strands of research in the sociology of culture, i.e. study of cultural producers and study of cultural consumers. It builds on the first methodology but presents arguably greater difficulties with regard to data collection and the interpretation of findings. However, these difficulties are instructive because they raise deep questions about the use of social network analysis in cultural research, both in the humanities and in the social sciences. Speaker's Bio: Daniel Allington is a lecturer in the Open University Centre for Language and Communication. His first book, Communicating in English: Talk, Text, Technology (co-edited by Barbara Mayor) was published by Routledge in 2012. His first monograph, Literature in the Digital Economy, is forthcoming from Palgrave Macmillan in 2014. He researches the production, circulation, and recognition of value in a range of cultural practices, from literature and visual art to computer programming, focusing in particular on the construction and maintenance of hierarchies and inequalities, and on the quest for autonomy among cultural producers of all kinds.

Fwd: FW: CFP: "Digitizing the Medieval Archive"
by Daniel O'Donnell 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

*Digitizing the Medieval Archive* An International Conference Centre for Medieval Studies – University of Toronto *–* April 25/26, 2014 *David Greetham (The Graduate Center, CUNY)* *Stephen G. Nichols (Johns Hopkins University)* *Caroline Mac**é (KU Leuven)* *Consuelo Dutschke (Columbia University Library)* Discussion about the digitization of archival fonds and library holdings pertaining to the Middle Ages boasts a wide profusion both in online settings and in real time. As the question of how medievalists may work within this digital environment becomes an increasingly more widely discussed topic, we invite scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences to convene in Toronto to consider and discuss the possibilities of the digitized medieval archive. There has been and continues to be considerable variation in the introduction, evaluation and continuation of digital storage. Digital technology has expanded and complicated the idea of the medieval archive. In bringing together the two concepts, digitization and archivization, we aim to address questions about the dissemination of and access to materials and research, but also such long-standing questions relating to the methodological and practical ways we carry out research and think about our material – thinking digitally about the Middle Ages. This conference sets out to explore ways in which medievalists might harness the vast, digital possibilities for a cross-institutional and interdisciplinary medieval archive. Possible topics may include but are not limited to the following: Implications of digital archives for the editing of medieval texts Methodologies and/or ideologies behind archivization The archivization of already existing digital databases Digitized archives/collections as enabling or limiting research The digital (re)construction of medieval collections Compilation and order of medieval texts Textual forms / reading methods Fluidity of the medieval text and the Internet The digital conglomeration of visual and narrative data Digital visualization of medieval documents, art and literature Please submit a short C.V. and abstracts of *250 words *by *November 1, 2013*for consideration. digitizingmedievalarchive(a)gmail.com digitizingmedievalarchive.wordpress.com Follow us on twitter: L.Faibisoff@DigiArchive

20 Sep '13

Dear Colleagues, I have a pleasure to invite you join Medieval Colloquium - in this new project we want to socialize with Medieval great people. Please find all details and an invitation for an online meeting below. Apologies for any crossposting. With best regards, Emilia Żochowska Collegium Volatile coordinator emilia(a)collegiumvolatile.com Medieval Colloquium: We talk with the Old Masters. Call for lecturers. Being a Medievalist is so much fun mostly because of the colourful and fascinating personalities you encounter. It´s all about people. Medievals are sophisticated and primitive, their discussions and wars are full of zeal, their problems are fresh and their answers - surprising. Let´s begin this new season at Collegium Volatile by meeting some really interesting Old Masters. Medieval Colloquium is an online event and anyone can join. Each week we watch a short video lecture given by an expert Medievalist who talks about his or her favourite Medieval personality (a thinker, an artist or a historical protagonist). We also read a short text assigned for that week: a source text related to the person we discuss. The same week we have a live online meeting (using video, voice and typing) to ask questions and share our ideas on the subject. Participants are also invited to share notes and links with each other. All the activities are available only to registered Colloquium participants (they are not publically visible on the web). We also plan to publish ebook proceedings with all the lectures beautifully edited and illustrated. If you would like to join the lecturers team - come to the online meeting 25 Sept 2013 at 22.00 CEST time (please find your time here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Medieval+Colloquiu… Please register for the meeting here: https://www.coursesites.com/s/_MedCo Type the access code: VERBA VOLANT If you are unable to join the meeting but you would like to give a lecture, please contact Emilia Zochowska, Collegium Volatile coordinator: emilia(a)collegiumvolatile.com As a lecturer, you will be asked to: 1. Plan and record one video lecture (ca. 20 min) presenting your Medieval idol/source of inspiration. It may be a narrated PowerPoint presentation. 2. Choose and assign a short reading for the students (source text in translation). 3. Upload the video and the source text to Collegium Volatile webpage. 4. Join the online discussion about your lecture (moderated by another member of the team) 5. Prepare a written version of your lecture (if you want to publish in our ebook proceedings). This event is for fun - and let´s make it a really bright and learned entertainment. In your lecture, you are welcomed to include many details, lots of illustrations and technical terms. It does not have to be “A short introduction to…” or “Life and works”. You are welcomed to share your passion and expertise with intelligent and enthusiastic public. We hope to make it a great opportunity to improve your professional network and get some fresh perspective on your subject. You will also gain a bit of experience as an online educator. Collegium Volatile is an international community of academic teacher and students. We teach online. We learn for passion, not degrees. Visit us at http://collegiumvolatile.com
