FW: CALL FOR PAPERS: Script, print and letterforms in global contexts: the visual and the material
by Georg Vogeler 25 Oct '17

25 Oct '17

Sent on behalf of Caroline Archer-Parré ; replies to: thevisualandthematerial(a)gmail.com APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING Centre for Printing History & Culture CALL FOR PAPERS Script, print and letterforms in global contexts: the visual and the material 28-29 June 2018 Birmingham City University Deadline for proposals: 15 November 2017 In this conference, we seek to explore the plurality of engagements with, and interpretations of the printed and written word in various writing systems and artefacts; whether handwritten, lithographed, typographically printed, or digitally conjured. We invite both scholars and practitioners, broadly in the areas of design, printing, publishing, typography, print culture and book history, to bring critical perspectives and present fresh approaches to the study and discussion of the visual and material aspects of print in the diverse linguistic contexts of the world. The global history of text-based communication constitutes a particularly exciting facet of material culture, given the myriad ways in which its production, transmission, and consumption has been (and continues to be) accomplished across cultural and political boundaries. However, a critical engagement with script and print outside the western world has remained relatively limited despite a burgeoning interest in the interrelated areas of printing, publishing, design, and type history. Studies of the ‘global’ and ‘regional’ cultures of print have tended to accommodate summary accounts and generalisations in relation to the material production of text in different languages and scripts, most commonly grouped under the term ‘non-Latin’. The time is long overdue for these narratives to expand, and address the rich variation and particularity of global practices. THEMES Possible themes for the conference include, but are not limited to: ● Print, manuscript, and material culture from around the world; ● Global and transnational histories of printing, publishing, technology, typography and type design; ● Cultural and political dynamics in the visual/material representation of scripts and languages; ● Social, political, and economic aspects shaping printing and publishing practices; ● Networks and exchanges between or within print and manuscript communities: Including but not limited to business, cultural, educational, and literary aspects; ● Connections and interactions between various actors and entities: Including but not limited to, artists, designers, linguists, manufacturers, readers, scholars, technologists, users, assembly/production-line workers; ● Perspectives on technological change in the history of design, printing, technology, and typography: Including but not limited to innovation, adaptation, resistance, and use; ● Forms, formats, and usage of documents and publications composed in global scripts: Including substrates besides paper; letters on stones, wood, fabric, ceramics, or digital media. PAPERS of twenty-minutes in duration are invited for this international conference from independent researchers, established scholars and postgraduate students, as well as artists, designers and practitioners working in the fields of history, book history, printing history, type design, typographic history and design, and print, manuscript, and material culture.

CfA: Themenheft: Digitale Mediävistik
by Roman Bleier 17 Oct '17

17 Oct '17

This might be of interest to some list members. The call is in German and unfortunately only papers in German are accepted. Call for Articles: Themenheft: Digitale Mediävistik Das Mittelalter. Perspektiven mediävistischer Forschung Der Mediävistenverband e.V. veröffentlicht seit 1996 die halbjährlich erscheinende Zeitschrift „Das Mittelalter. Perspektiven mediävistischer Forschung“. Für 2019 ist ein Themenheft mit dem Titel „Digitale Mediävistik“ vorgesehen, das gemeinsam von Roman Bleier (Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung, Universität Graz), Franz Fischer (Cologne Center for eHumanities der Universität zu Köln), Torsten Hiltmann (Universität Münster), Gabriel Viehhauser (Universität Stuttgart) und Georg Vogeler (Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung, Universität Graz) herausgegeben wird. Bewerbungsfrist: 30. November 2017 Autorenkonferenz in Stuttgart: 13./14. September 2018 Abstract Elektronische Informationstechnolgien sind dabei, die Arbeitsweisen der mediävistischen Forschung grundlegend und nachhaltig zu verändern. Gerade mediävistische Forschungsprojekte gehören zu den Motoren einer digitalen Durchdringung der geisteswissenschaftlichen Forschung, und dies bereits seit den Tagen des Jesuitenpaters Roberto Busa (1913-2011), dessen Index zu den Werken des Thomas von Aquin als das erste Digital-Humanities-Projekt überhaupt gilt. Seither sind die Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf die Mediävistik einerseits anhand der rasant steigenden digitalen Verfügbarkeit von Quellen und Forschungsergebnissen spürbar. In stetig wachsendem Umfang kann in Form hochaufgelöster Digitalisate, digitaler Archive und Editionen auf Primärquellen zugegriffen werden, und die Palette von digitalen Methoden, die in der mediävistischen Forschung zum Einsatz kommen, reicht von Algorithmus-basierten Analyseverfahren historischer Textcorpora über automatische Bilderkennung, Netzwerkanalyse und geographische Informationssysteme, bis hin zur formalen Erschließung von Daten und Informationen mit Technologien des Semantic Web. Andererseits verändert die Anwendung digitaler Hilfsmittel und Methoden sowohl die Forschungsprozesse als auch die Fragestellungen selbst. Daher gilt es, deren Nutzen und Auswirkungen auf unser Verständnis vom Mittelalter zu beleuchten. Das ist umso dringlicher, als eine inter- und transdisziplinär ausgerichtete digitale Forschungspraxis in allen Bereichen der Mediävistik Einzug hält. Das Themenheft soll anhand aktueller Forschungsprojekte einen Überblick über die in der mediävistischen Forschung genutzten Methoden der Digital Humanities geben und deren Einsatz in der Praxis diskutieren und bewerten. Es soll damit eine Orientierung auf dem Gebiet der digitalen Mediävistik bieten und zugleich vereinzelte Aktivitäten im deutschsprachigen Raum zusammenführen. Vor allem aber soll es zur Reflexion anregen, welche neuen Erkenntnisse über die Welt des Mittelalters mit Hilfe digitaler Methoden, Werkzeuge und Ressourcen gewonnen werden können. Die Beiträge können beispielsweise folgende Themenbereiche behandeln: ● Mediävistik und Computer Vision (Bilderkennung) ● Mediävistik und Netzwerkanalyse ● Mediävistik und geographische Informationssysteme ● Mediävistik und Semantic Web ● Digitale Erschließung und Präsentation von mediävistischen Daten und Informationen ● Text-mining und automatische Sprachverarbeitung in der Mediävistik Zeitplan: 30. November 2017 Frist für die Einsendung der Vorschläge 15. Januar 2018 Zusage an die Autoren 1. Juli 2018 Einsenden der ausformulierten und formatierten Beiträge zum Peer Review 13./14. September Autorenkonferenz in Stuttgart 30. November 2018 Frist für die Abgabe der überarbeiteten Beiträge Juni 2019 Erscheinen des Themenhefts Bitte schicken Sie ihren Vorschlag für einen Beitrag als max. zweiseitigen Abstract bis zum 30. November 2017 an Roman Bleier (roman.bleier(at) uni-graz.at).

2017 Schoenberg Symposium_Next month!
by Ransom, Lynn 11 Oct '17

11 Oct '17

Happening next month! 10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 2-4, 2017 Intertwined Worlds In partnership with the Rare Book Department<https://libwww.freelibrary.org/rarebooks/index.cfm> of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies (SIMS<http://schoenberginstitute.org/>) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 10th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. Despite the linguistic and cultural complexity of many regions of the premodern world, religion supplies the basis of a strong material and textual cohesion that both crosses and intertwines boundaries between communities. This year's theme, "Intertwined Worlds," will highlight the confluence of expressions of belief, ritual, and social engagement emerging in technologies and traditions of the world's manuscript cultures, often beyond a single religious context. It will consider common themes and practices of textual, artistic, literary, and iconographic production in religious life across time and geography, from ancient precedents to modern reception and dissemination in the digital age. This year's symposium features a keynote address by Phyllis Granoff, Lex Hixon Professor of Religious Studies, Yale University, on "The Mystery of Mistakes: Reflections on Indian Illustrated Manuscripts," to be held at the Free Library of Philadelphia at 6pm,on November 2, 2017 (reception beginning at 5pm). For more information and to register, please go to: http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium10.html .
