CfP: The Library: Spaces of Thought and Knowledge Systems, 41. Cologne Mediaevistentagung, September 10-14, 2018
by Franz Fischer 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

[Fwd from Prof Andreas Speer, Thomas Institut, University of Cologne] Call for Papers (deadline: August 15, 2017) English version below (and at http://kmt.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/10209.html) French version: http://kmt.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/10210.html German version: http://kmt.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/10208.html 41. Cologne Mediaevistentagung, September 10-14, 2018 The Library: Spaces of Thought and Knowledge Systems In the digital era, the experience of what a library once was seems to slip away slowly but unstoppably: the library meant access to a substantial, yet limited amount of books, which were available only at a certain place, at a certain time and under certain conditions. It was a collection subject to certain criteria, which required a reasonable and steady order to enable finding anything there. All of these limitations concerning the immediate access to books are increasingly removed by global search engines and comprehensive search algorithms. We experience every day in which way our reading and working conditions are practically altered by this. Which consequences this might have for our conceptions of knowledge and research is, however, at best only vaguely apparent. Thus, making the Library topic of a Mediaevistentagung is supposed to reveal some generalities regarding the relation between the library and knowledge, which might facilitate our reflection on current changes as well as on conditions and mechanisms of knowledge in general. This may be achieved by studying the question of how libraries in their various forms fit into and affected intellectual processes and their social and material conditions. For this purpose – and according to the framework of our conference –, we look upon a millennium in which libraries played a crucial role in passing on knowledge across linguistic and cultural borders. Libraries were places of thinking, writing, translating, and copying. A library is not merely a cluster of books which are waiting for their users. Libraries are spaces of thought and institutions of organized knowledge. They reflect the questions of their times and preserve them for the future. Thus, they are privileged spaces of participation in knowledge, to which we contribute with the books we write ourselves. Early on, those knowledge carriers were treasured in places in which they could be stored, studied, and reproduced. Those places were archives of all kinds and, above all, libraries. According to their size and conception, they have since granted access to a certain and at the same time limited amount of knowledge carriers: may it be scrolls, documents, manuscripts, books, microfilms or databases. The concept of a library shows the interdependence of conceptual and material culture, the interweaving of the history of knowledge and institutional context conditions. At the outset of every considerable movements of knowledge reception are books or text corpora. In this context, libraries are spaces of thought which, on the one hand, reflect concepts and, on the other, enable them in the first place. Many knowledge systems originate from library practice, which can itself – implicitly or explicitly – be an expression of a theoretically established knowledge system, which again becomes accessible only through this practical knowledge. Thus, there is a broad basis for an interdisciplinary approach to the conference’s topic. Without intending to be exhaustive, some questions shall be addressed in the following. (i) First, there is the question of how libraries emerge and decline: Where do they exist? Who owns them? Who establishes them? How is the material collected? Where do the books come from? What are their values? How does the collection develop over time? How do storage, arrangement, and utilization of the material take place? Who are the users? Which rules must be followed in using the material? Who monitors this and how? What do the users do with or to the books under certain circumstances, e.g., read them, copy them, gloss them, damage them, steal them…? When and how are catalogues prepared? According to which systems? Are libraries at certain points purposely reconstructed? For which reasons? What are the reasons for the loss of libraries? (ii) In this context, the question of how contemporaries perceive and describe libraries arises. For which purposes are they visited? Who is allowed to visit them? Who is not? What does a visit to the library look like? Is there an awareness of the specific features of a certain library? Are there descriptions of experiences concerning a certain library, its richness or its shortcomings? (iii) Closely related to this is the image of a library: How are libraries depicted in literary texts and paintings – actually existing ones, on the one hand, and stereotype, fictional, or imagined ones on the other? Which mental experiences (insight, epiphany, conversion, boredom) are connected to libraries? What does the layout of a library (e.g., chest, lectern, rooms, buildings) and of its books (e.g., covers, illumination) tell us about their meaning and the perceptions of their owners? And last, which perceptions and wishes shape the (actualized as well as not actualized) planning of a library? (iv) Libraries, as text ensembles, are not necessarily bound to a certain place or a specific material form. We reconstruct immaterial libraries and, in doing so, investigate what an author might have read, which sources were available to a reader, and what a nowadays lost library might have looked like at a certain time. The digital era further opens new possibilities for the creation of ideal libraries that, concerning their claim to completeness and their presence, exceed their historical paragons by far and thus open new, unprecedented perspectives for research. At this, the reconstruction of the library of an author does not only represent his intellectual cosmos, but also provides an insight into his ways of doing research, his search for specific texts, their selection and compilation as well as the observed gaps, which were then filled by their own productions. (v) Further, classifications, reading guides, lectionaries, and establishing systems essentially belong to the library. Regarding, for instance, the Aristotelian and Platonic text corpora (although these are certainly not the only ones), it becomes apparent that libraries and scientific classifications are closely linked. There are libraries for scholastic and mystical theology, for physicians, lawyers, and astronomers. That way, a canon is established, taught, transmitted, transformed, and replaced. (vi) Moreover, libraries are the basis for intertextuality. They thereby demand certain skills of the reader. How is this particular knowledge imparted? Do libraries feature a ‘common core’ for the discourse across fields of expertise? To what extent do libraries influence the reading and quoting habits of their users? (vii) In terms of disciplinarity, the topic encompasses different realms, which – according to the type of library considered – may occur separately or in conjunction: monastic libraries, university libraries, court libraries as well as the libraries of professors (e.g., Amplonius), of physicians (e.g., Arnaldus de Villa Nova), of academic prelates (e.g., Nicholas of Cusa), of writers (e.g., Richard de Fournival, who, among other things, composed a Biblionomia), of councilmen, rabbis, and travelling scholars reflect the interests of their users and the collectors. Various aspects also emerge by including Byzantine culture, Jewish tradition, and the Islamic world, with their often quite different conditions, for instance, the notable dominance of private libraries. (vii) Libraries have always been places of media transfer: form scrolls to parchment to paper, from manuscripts to letterpress to digital storage media. Transfer processes, however, always involve the danger of losing something. Only rarely are collections entirely transferred from one medium to another. Certain technical and social changes can be observed through the prism of the library, such as the introduction of paper, of letterpress, or of the increasing vernacular literature (also in the sciences). How is this media change and transfer addressed? What does it mean for the collection of a library? Like always, the Cologne Mediaevistentagung aims at the broadest possible interdisciplinary spectrum. Thus, we would like to invite philosophers and theologians, historians and philologists, literary scholars and cultural scientists, art historians and science historians, and so on, to participate with a question from their field of expertise or with an interdisciplinary issue in the 41. Cologne Mediaevistentagung. It is our goal to challenge and reconsider habitual perceptions and opinions and to thereby open up new perspectives. Let me conclude by kindly asking for your topic proposals together with a short abstract (of about 1 page), preferably to be send in by August 15, 2017 (thomas-institut(at)uni-koeln.de). I would be delighted to welcome you personally at the 41. Cologne Mediaevistentagung next year. Please feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues who are not yet listed in our address file or send us the address of those who are possibly interested. Thank you very much! I am looking forward to receiving your proposals and remain with kind regards Cologne, March 2017 Andreas Speer Academic Direction and Organization: Prof. Dr. Andreas Speer (andreas.speer(a)uni-koeln.de) Lars Reuke, M.A. (lreuke1(a)uni-koeln.de) Thomas-Institut der Universität zu Köln Universitätsstraße 22 D-50923 KÖLN Tel.: +49/(0)221/470-2309 Fax: +49/(0)221/470-5011 Email: thomas-institut(a)uni-koeln.de www.kmt.uni-koeln.de │ www.thomasinst.uni-koeln.de

The Normans in the South Conference - Oxford, Jun.-Jul. 2017 - Registration Details
by Emily A. Winkler 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

The Normans in the South Mediterranean Meetings in the Central Middle Ages Friday 30 June – Sunday 2 July, 2017 St Edmund Hall, University of Oxford By some accounts, 1017 marked the advent of the Norman presence in Italy and Sicily, inaugurating a new era of invasion, interaction and integration in the Mediterranean. Whether or not we decide the millennial anniversary is significant, the moment offers an ideal opportunity to explore the story in the south, about a thousand years ago. To what extent did the Normans establish a cross-cultural empire? What can we learn by comparing the impact of the Norman presence in different parts of Europe? What insights are discoverable in comparing local histories of Italy and Sicily with broader historical ideas about transformation, empire and exchange? The conference draws together established, early-career and post-graduate scholars for a joint investigation of the Normans in the South, to explore together the many meetings of cultural, political and religious ideas in the Mediterranean in the central Middle Ages. The three-day conference features 80 speakers from around the world, and three parallel strands of sessions: ‘Conquest and Culture’, ‘Art and Architecture’ and ‘Power and Politics’. *Secure your place: register by 31 May 2017 at* http://www.oxforduniversitystores.co.uk/conferences-events/history- faculty/history-faculty/the-normans-in-the-south- mediterranean-meetings-in-the-central-middle-ages *Meal bookings optional; conference dinner places limited;* *early booking strongly recommended.* *Conference Website and Programme* www.haskinssociety.org/Normans-in-the-South <http://www.haskinssociety.org/Normans-in-the-South> *Keynote Speakers* Professor Graham Loud (University of Leeds) Professor Jeremy Johns (University of Oxford) Professor Sandro Carocci (University of Rome ‘Tor Vergata’) *featuring a short highlight talk by* Professor David Abulafia (University of Cambridge) *Queries* Please contact the conference organizer: Dr Emily A.

Call for Papers: Workshop on Corpus-based Research in the Humanities (CRH)
by Eleonora Litta Modignani Picozzi 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

---- Workshop on Corpus-based Research in the Humanities (CRH) with a special focus on space and time annotations ---- ** Vienna (Austria) January 25-26, 2018 ** web: http://www.oeaw.ac.at/ac/crh2/ <http://www.oeaw.ac.at/ac/crh2/> The Workshop on "Corpus-based Research in the Humanities" (CRH) brings together those areas of Computational Linguistics and the Humanities that share an interest in the building, managing and analysis of text corpora. The edition of this year has a specific focus on time and space annotation in textual data, backed by a keynote speaker with special interest in this aspect of corpus management. The second edition of CRH will be held in Vienna (Austria) on January 25th-26th 2018 and will be hosted Austrian Academy of Sciences, University of Vienna and Technische Universitaet Wien. The series of the CRH workshops continues that of the workshop on "Annotation of Corpora for Research in the Humanities" (ACRH), the three editions of which were held respectively in 2011 (Heidelberg, Germany), 2012 (Lisbon, Portugal) and 2013 (Sofia, Bulgaria). The first CRH was held in Warsaw (Poland) in 2015. Submissions of long abstracts for oral presentations and posters (with or without demonstrations) featuring high quality and previously unpublished research are invited on the following TOPICS: - specific issues related to the annotation of corpora for research in the Humanities (annotation schemes and principles), with special interest in space and time annotations - corpora as a basis for research in the Humanities - diachronic, historical and literary corpora - use of corpora for stylometrics and authorship attribution - philological issues, like different readings, textual variants, apparatus, non-standard orthography and spelling variation - adaptation of NLP tools for older language varieties - integration of corpora for the Humanities into language resources infrastructures - tools for building and accessing corpora for the Humanities - examples of fruitful collaboration between Computational Linguistics and Humanities in building and exploiting corpora - theoretical aspects of the use of empirical evidence provided by corpora in the Humanities This year, CRH will have a SPECIAL TOPIC concerning time and space annotation in textual data. Submissions with this focus are especially encouraged. Contributions reporting results from completed as well as ongoing research are welcome. They will be evaluated on novelty of approach and methods, whether descriptive, theoretical, formal or computational. The proceedings will be published in time for the workshop. They will be co-edited by Andrew Frank, Christine Ivanovic, Francesco Mambrini, Marco Passarotti and Caroline Sporleder. MOTIVATION AND AIMS Research in the Humanities is predominantly text-based. For centuries scholars have studied documents such as historical manuscripts, literary works, legal contracts, diaries of important personalities, old tax records etc. Large amounts of such documents exist and are increasingly available in digital form. This has a potentially profound impact on how research is conducted in the Humanities. Digitised sources allowing scholars to analyse texts quicker and more systematically. Digital data can also be (semi-)automatically mined: important facts and interdependencies can be detected, complex statistics can be calculated. Analysis of locations and time in documents is often crucial to understand and visualize trends. Results can be visualised and presented to the scholars, who can then delve further into the data for verification and deeper analysis. Digitisation encourages empirical research, opening the road for completely new research paradigms that exploit `big data' for humanities research. Digitisation is only a first step, however. In their raw form, electronic corpora are of limited use to humanities researchers. Corpus annotation can build on a long tradition in (corpus) linguistics and computational linguistics but the true potential of such resources is only unlocked if corpora are enriched with different layers of linguistic annotation (ranging from morphology to semantics, including location and time). The CRH workshop aims at building a tighter collaboration between people working in various areas of the Humanities (such as literature, philology, history, translational studies etc.) and the research community involved in developing, using and making accessible different kinds of corpora. A gap exists between computational linguists (who sometimes do not involve humanists in developing and exploiting corpora for the Humanities) and humanists (who sometimes just aren't aware that such corpora do exist and that automatic methods and standards to build and use them are today available). Over the past few years a number of historical annotated corpora have been started, among which are treebanks for Middle, Early Modern and Old English, Early New High German, Medieval Portuguese, Ugaritic, Latin, Ancient Greek and several translations of the New Testament into Indo-European languages. The experience of these ever-growing set of projects can provide many suggestions on the methodology as well as on the practice of interaction between literary studies, philology and corpus linguistics. INVITED SPEAKERS - Tara L. Andrews, University of Wien, Austria (http://www.univie.ac.at/Geschichte/htdocs2/site/arti.php/91079 <http://www.univie.ac.at/Geschichte/htdocs2/site/arti.php/91079>) - James Pustejovsky, Brandeis University, MA, USA (http://jamespusto.com/ <http://jamespusto.com/>) IMPORTANT DATES Deadlines : - Abstract submission: 8 October 2017 - Notification of acceptance: 5 November 2017 - Final version of paper: 3 December 2017 - Workshop: 25-26 January 2018 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION We invite to submit long abstracts describing original, unpublished research related to the topics of the workshop as PDF. Abstracts should not exceed 6 pages (references included) and written in English. Submissions have to be made via the EasyChair page of the workshop at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=crh2 <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=crh2> (requires prior registration with EasyChair). The style guidelines can be found here: http://www.oeaw.ac.at/forschung-institute/biblio/academiae-corpora/ac/crh2/… <http://www.oeaw.ac.at/forschung-institute/biblio/academiae-corpora/ac/crh2/…>. Reviewing will be double-blind; therefore, the abstract should not include the authors' names and affiliations or any references to web-sites, project names etc. revealing the authors' identity. Furthermore, any self-reference should be avoided. For instance, instead of "We previously showed (Brown, 2001)...", use citations such as "Brown previously showed (Brown, 2001)...". Each submitted abstract will be reviewed by three members of the program committee. Submitted abstracts can be for oral or poster presentations (possibly with demo). There is no difference between the different kinds of presentation both in terms of reviewing process and publication in the proceedings (the limit of 6 pages holds for both abstracts intended for oral and poster presentations). The authors of the accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full version of their paper, which may be extended up to 10 pages (references included). PRESENTATIONS The oral presentations at the workshop will be 30 minutes long (25 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions and discussion). Depending on the number of submissions, a poster session might be organised as well. SPECIAL SOCIAL EVENT On the night of 25 January, the TU WIen organizes their TU-Ball at the imperial Hofburg (http://www.tu-ball.at/en/home/ <http://www.tu-ball.at/en/home/>). Participants may take part in this unique festivity (details later). Do not miss such an opportunity to participate in this highlight of the Viennese ball season!
