CeRch Seminar: Clotho: Network Analysis and Distant Reading on Perseus Latin Corpus
by kcl - cerch 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Please find below the details of next week's CeRch seminar: Date: Tuesday, 25th March 2014, from 6.15pm to 7.30pm (GMT) Location: Anatomy Museum Space, 6th Floor, King's College London (Strand Campus) http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/campuses/strand/Strand.aspx Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is requested: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cerch-seminar-clotho-sentiment-analysis-and-di… The seminar will be followed by wine and nibbles. All the best, Valentina Asciutti ? Abstract: Clotho is born from a simple need: doing distant reading on a Latin corpus. Why should we do distant reading? We can see many reasons including word sense induction, sentiment analysis, network analysis which were the one we were looking for. Through we think sentiment analysis stricto sensu is not possible in Latin, we aim to provide a way to do that quantitatively through context and network analysis. This does not replace the meme of conventional scholarship; where an expert reader parses a text and pronounces on the nature of its sentiment. Rather, we think that the proper nature of the Latin exemplum and auctoritas is liable to support interpretation by polarizing words according to their strict meaning(s). The Clotho project is divided in two tools. The first one is based on python software, which enables the distant reading of the corpus and the export of its results. The other is a PHP platform which enables a team or a crowd to annotate and clean the results. Both are relatively easy to install and fully open source so new functionalities of wide application can be added. For this project, there have been two outputs: - the first one is Cicero's Network which has been realised with an earlier version of Clotho's Python interface - the second one is Lasciva Roma, a project which will be launched during the seminar, whose aim is to annotate the Latin semantic field of sexuality. Speakers: Anthony Glaise Former MA student at Paris-IV Sorbonne, preparing Agr?gation's exams at Paris IV-Sorbonne and at Ecole Normale Sup?rieure. Anthony worked on the Greek Christian literature of the 4th century and more precisely on anti-Judaic works by John Chrysostom. Thibault Clerice Research Developer at the Center for e-Research, Kings College London, and MA student at the Ecole des Chartes ( Paris ). Thibault's works focus on both crowd-sourcing and Ancient Rome genders and sexuality. His current MA Thesis topic tries to enlighten the possibilities of digital methods in Latin onomastics and anthropology.

Tenure Track Position, Postcolonial or Modernism. Digital Humanities very welcome. April 15 Deadline.
by Daniel O'Donnell 17 Mar '14

17 Mar '14

Hi all, The English department in the University of Lethbridge has just released an ad for a Tenure Track job in Postcolonial or Modernism. It is so new that the official ad is not yet up on the Uleth Website. Here's a link to a posting on my blog with the details: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/Blog/university-of-lethbridge-tenur…. I've also reproduced the text below. The position is either Postcolonial or Modernism. We are at the beginning of a rebuilding phase after a series of retirements and need both. Although the ad does not specifically require expertise in Digital Humanities, we are certainly very interested in hearing from people in DH. DH is one of two strategic priorities in the Faculty of Arts and Science and is well supported throughout the University. There are several new initiatives that are going ahead that will be of interest to Digital Humanists, including, the development of new Centres for Studies in the Digital Age and 3D Visualisation. Lethbridge is also home to the Lethbridge Journal Incubator, Global Outlook::Digital Humanities, and, though less relevant in this case, Digital Medievalist. Perhaps most importantly, the Digital Humanities is a major part of the new $3 million THINC project, a project that involves the development of a series of labs focussed on data visualisation, digital fabrication, and 3D visualisation and capture that has been proposed for the new Science facility. Obviously these positions are less relevant for the core membership of this list. If, however, you know of people with a specialisation in these fields, perhaps especially if they are also DHers, please feel free to pass the ad on. If you or your colleagues have any questions about applying for this position, please feel free to contact the chair, Adam Carter (a.carter(a)uleth.ca) or me (daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca). The deadline for applications is April 15, 2014. ---------------------------------------------------------- The Department of English at the University of Lethbridge invites applications for a probationary (tenure-track) position at the Assistant Professor rank to begin 1 July 2014, subject to budgetary approval. The position is in the area of Twentieth-Century Literature with specialization in either Post-Colonial Literature or Modernism. Applicants should have a Ph.D. at or near completion and teaching experience at the university level. The University aspires to hire individuals who have demonstrated considerable potential for excellence in teaching, research and scholarship.New faculty members are eligible to apply for university funding in support of research and scholarly activities. The position is open to all qualified applicants, although preference will be given to Canadian citizens and permanent residents of Canada. The University is an inclusive and equitable campus encouraging applications from qualified women and men including persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities and Aboriginal persons. The Department of English is a dynamic unit committed to excellence in research and teaching with faculty members who represent a wide range of disciplinary interests. Members of the department are involved in collaborative and interdisciplinary research initiatives within the University of Lethbridge and beyond. The university houses the Institute for Child and Youth Studies (I-CYS), the Centre for Oral History and Tradition (COHT), and a new centre in Digital Humanities is currently under development. The University of Lethbridge is the home of Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (globaloutlookdh.org) and the editorial offices of the scholarly journal /Digital Studies/Le champ numérique/. Students have the opportunity to have their writing published in the university’s /Whetstone/magazine and to participate in two annual student writing competitions. The department is dedicated to ensuring the continued quality of its strong undergraduate program and its emerging graduate program. Located in southern Alberta, near the Rocky Mountains, Lethbridge offers a sunny, dry climate that is agreeably mild for the prairies, excellent cultural and recreational amenities and attractive economic conditions. Founded in 1967, the University has an enrollment of over 8,000 students from around the world. Our student body has grown by 50 percent in the last 10 years, phenomenal growth among institutions in Canada. Despite this growth, we have remained true to who we are - student-focused, research-intensive, and grounded in liberal education.

3D and Proceedings of the Digital Humanities Congress 2012
by Endres, William F 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Dear colleagues, I am happy to announce that the Proceedings of the Digital Humanities Congress 2012 are now available online. They include a paper I wrote on 3D and its implications for studying and digitally preserving early illuminated manuscripts http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/openbook/chapter/dhc2012-endres . The paper discusses the high resolution, interactive 3D images of the 8th-century St Chad Gospels https://lichfield.as.uky.edu and greatly expands on topics covered in my video http://youtu.be/ebr0HNnNNrs — you might find the paper especially helpful if you are using the 3D images as a way to engage students in your teaching. The published proceedings include many fine papers, but Andrew Prescott writes a particularly wonderful historical essay about DH as a space in which tinkering, making and theory collide. All best, Bill -- Bill Endres University of Kentucky Division of Writing, Rhetoric & Digital Media Lexington, KY 40506 859-257-8337
