CfP: Per corpora… Medieval Latin and Corpora (IMC 2018)
by Krzysztof Nowak 22 Aug '17

22 Aug '17

International Medieval Congress, Leeds, 2-5 July 2018 Call for Papers: Per corpora…Medieval Latin and Corpora Session 1: What Corpus for Medieval Studies? Session 2: Vocabulary of Memory Organisation Bruno Bon (Dictionary of Medieval Latin, Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes, CNRS) Krzysztof Nowak (Dictionary of Medieval Latin, Institute of Polish Language, PAS) Building on the experience of the session organized during the IMC 2016 we are seeking to propose two sessions for the upcoming IMC 2018 that would focus on *building and using electronic corpora in Medieval Latin studies*. Our idea is to stimulate discussion and to integrate the community of both seasoned users and creators of digital tools, as well as those who are taking their first steps in the corpus-based research. We believe that the IMC offers a great opportunity for such discussion since the event gathers scholars of a wide range of expertise who can help us to understand better what tools do scholars need and what are the research questions they expect corpora to answer. The first sessionis intended to focus on more general questions of corpus creation, while the second, following closely the IMC 2018 topic ("Memory"), aims at showing how corpora can be practically used in Medieval Latin research. Proposals should be addressed by 15 September2017 to bruno.bon(a)irht.cnrs.fr <mailto:bruno.bon@irht.cnrs.fr>and krzysztof.nowak(a)ijp.pan.pl <mailto:krzysztof.nowak@ijp.pan.pl>. A detailed CfP can be found at: http://glossaria.eu/leeds/cfp_en.html *** Après une première expérience en 2016, nous souhaitons proposer deux sessions pour l’édition IMC 2018, sur *la construction et l’utilisation des corpus textuels électroniques dans les études médiévales*, en associant des utilisateurs et créateurs confirmés d’outils numériques à ceux qui font leurs premiers pas dans la recherche sur les corpus. L’IMC offre une belle occasion à ce genre de discussion, car l'événement rassemble des spécialistes de nombreuses disciplines, aptes à signaler les outils qui leur sont nécessaires, et à préciser les questions qu’ils posent à leurs corpus. La 1èresessiontraitera des questions générales sur la création de corpus textuels, pendant que la seconde, suivant le thème annuel de l’IMC ("Memory"), étudiera des cas d’utilisation pratique des corpus textuels dans la recherche en latin médiéval. La proposition doit être envoyée au plus tard le 15 septembre 2017conjointement à bruno.bon(a)irht.cnrs.fr <mailto:bruno.bon@irht.cnrs.fr>et krzysztof.nowak(a)ijp.pan.pl <mailto:krzysztof.nowak@ijp.pan.pl>.

JEAN BAPTISTE CAMPS I started my training in digital medieval scholarship with an MA in `Digital Technologies applied to History’ at the École des chartes in 2006-2008, with a thesis on the quantitative study of Troubadour Manuscripts. After working as a library curator, I did my PhD (Univ. Paris-Sorbonne) on the edition of the `Chanson d’Otinel’, with the aim to develop models to closely integrate ecdotics with digital methods (modelling, statistics, algorithmics and artificial intelligence), both for data production and analysis. I have been the course leader of the Master’s degree `Digital Technologies applied to History’ (2013-2017), and now supervise the new ‘Digital Humanities and Research’ (PSL Research University) Master’s programme. I teach Digital Scholarly Editing, XSLT and Quantitative Philology. My main research interests are in digital philology, text and data mining (stylometry, stemmatology, quantitative palaeography and codicology) and ecdotics for Old French and Old Occitan texts and manuscripts. LISA FAGIN DAVIS Lisa Fagin Davis (Medieval Studies PhD, Yale University, 1993) has been Executive Director of the Medieval Academy of America since 2013. Previously, she spent twenty years cataloguing pre-1600 manuscript collections across the US and has been involved in the development of metadata standards for manuscript cataloguing. She serves on the Advisory Committees for Digital Scriptorium, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies, and Fragmentarium, and is deeply engaged in using and promoting both Mirador and IIIF. Publications include: the Beinecke Library Catalogue of Medieval and Renaissance Manuscripts, Vol. IV; The Gottschalk Antiphonary; the Directory of Pre-1600 Manuscripts in the United States and Canada (with Melissa Conway); numerous articles in the fields of manuscript studies and codicology; La Chronique Anonyme Universelle: Reading and Writing History in fifteenth-century France (a critical edition that includes a digital resource developed in collaboration with the Digital Mappaemundi project); and the Manuscript Road Trip blog. She regularly teaches an introduction to manuscript studies at the Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science. GRETA FRANZINI –STANDS FOR RE-ELECTION– Greta Franzini is a Classicist by training and currently conducts interdisciplinary research in Digital Classics, Digital Scholarly Editing and Natural Language Processing. Greta works as an early career researcher at the University of Goettingen for the Electronic Text Reuse Acquisition project, and, together with the Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities, jointly maintains the Catalogue of Digital Editions. Greta has served on the Digital Medievalist Executive and Journal Boards since 2015. In the past two years, Greta has modernised and maintained the Digital Medievalist website; she has managed the Digital Medievalist Facebook and Twitter accounts; she has helped secure reviews and has worked as an Associate Editor for the Digital Medievalist Journal; and finally, she has sought volunteers to help translate the Digital Medievalist Wikipedia page into multiple languages in order to increase outreach. Greta would like to continue working in this capacity and thus stands for re-election. ROBERTO DEL MONTE I have a Master’s degree in History of Medieval Art, obtained in 2013 at the University of Florence, Italy. For the past two years, I have been leading the NUME International Research Group, developing a digital network of scholars around the world, coordinating the organization of conferences on medieval studies, the publication of specialist studies, the creation of interdisciplinary events and digital projects (e.g. the 3D reconstruction of some Italian churches hit by an earthquake in 2016). I have published articles on History of Medieval Art in Italy and France, worked with scientific journals and attended international conferences. I have experience in networking management, editing and managing digital content: I would like to run for the Journal Associate Editor, News Feed Administrator or Facebook Administrator positions. ELS DE PAERMENTIER –STANDS FOR RE-ELECTION– Els De Paermentier is Assistant Professor in Medieval Diplomatics and Palaeography at Ghent University (Belgium). In 2010 she completed her PhD on the organisation of the comital chancery in the counties of Flanders and Hainaut (1191-1244). For her research she elaborated a computer-aided methodology to determine the editorial origin of charter texts. In 2012 she received a COST Action grant for a short term scientific mission at the Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (IRHT) in Paris, where she examined the interoperability possibilities between the Belgian and French Latin source databases Diplomata Belgica and TELMA-databases (Traitement Électronique des Manuscrits et des Archives). Shortly afterwards she became a member of the COST Action Program IS1005: Medieval Europe – Medieval Cultures and Technological Resources, and joined the working group for the design of a virtual centre for medieval studies (VCMS) (2012-2015). Currently, she is a member of the advisory board of the online charter database Diplomata Belgica: The Diplomatic Sources from the Medieval Southern Low Countries and of the steering committee of the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities (GhentCDH). ERIN SEBO Erin is a specialist on Anglo-Saxon heroic poetry and historical linguistics. She has taught at Monash University (Melbourne), University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin and Queen’s University Belfast. She is currently Lecturer in Anglo-Saxon Literature at Flinders University (Adelaide). She is a collaborator with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the study of the History of Emotion and winner of the Faculty Prize for Excellence in Teaching. Her first monograph, In Enigmate: the history of a riddle from 400-1500, is forthcoming from Four Courts Press. After her PhD, she worked on two DH post-docs, The Psalms in Trinity at the Old Library at Trinity College Dublin, and The Psalms In Ireland Before 1600 based at Archbishop Marshes Library in Dublin. The aim of these projects was to provide context for the Faddan More Psalter (which had recently been discovered) by cataloguing and digitizing pre-modern psalmic material and providing a searchable database of psalmic marginalia. ENGIN CIHAD TEKIN Engin is working as academic advisor for a number of TUBİTAK’s (The Scientific and Technologcal Research Council of Turkey) digitization and Digital Humanitites projects. Previously, he has worked as an academic advisor to the Executive Board of Hacettepe University Technopolis for electronic documents and archival sources. He completed his PhD in Library and Information Science. His studies focus on European and Ottoman book history between 1450-1700. His dissertation discussed Ottoman Book Culture from the perspective of European Travellers between 1453-1699 with 122 European travellers. Engin has also built and managed Turkey’s first Digital Library Project ( pecya.com ) between 2006-2010. Pecya was funded by Turkey’s scientific state funds and it has a full text search cloud based library system with a digital copyright agreement of 220 foundations, archives and publishers in Turkey, as well as 3.5 million pages of copyrighted materials, manuscripts and rare books. Engin studies digital humanities, search engine technologies and digital technologies for text mining and new text technologies. He also focuses on rare books, Ottoman manuscripts, as well as book history and prohibited books of Europe. He is a member of the Islamic manuscript Association in Cambridge and he served as the Turkish representative for the Azerbaijani Institute of Manuscripts between 2010-2013. He is also working for his own Project- readment.com Structured Digital library Project. HEATHER WACHA As a CLIR Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Curation for Medieval Studies, I would be delighted to serve on the Digital Medievalist Executive Board. My interest and passion for the digital humanities began while I was working on my doctorate, when a GIS class showed me how to ask new research questions of my 13th-century sources. I was also interested in disseminating public history projects via digital media and decided to create a set of educational videos about medieval manuscripts. Since then I have taken on the digital edition of a 13th-century cartulary from northern France using TEI encoding, the editing of nine mappamundi in Digital Maxima, a software environment developed by Martin Foys, professor of English at the University of Wisconsin, and the use of social network analysis for visualizing the relationships between mappamundi and their textual sources. For medievalists, it is crucial we continue to recognize the benefits of using digital technologies in our discipline and I see my present and future careers helping myself and others put these technologies into practice. -- Alberto Campagnolo, PhD CLIR <https://www.clir.org/> Postdoctoral Fellow in Data Curation for Medieval Studies, Library of Congress <http://www.loc.gov/preservation/about/rt/> Digital Humanities & Archaeology of the book Researcher *Digital Medievalist Director <https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/>* Mob. +1-202-766-9626 (USA) Mob. +44 (0)7917 793185 (UK) Mob. +39 347 11 67 355 (IT) LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/acampagnolo
