CfP - Workshop on Scholarly Digital Editions, Graph Data-Models and Semantic Web Technologies
by Elena Spadini 07 Dec '18

07 Dec '18

Dear List members, we hope this Workshop will be of interest for some of you. Best wishes, Elena Spadini and Francesca Tomasi apologies for cross posting -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Workshop on Scholarly Digital Editions, Graph Data-Models and Semantic Web Technologies* Université de Lausanne, 3-4 June 2019 <http://wp.unil.ch/graphsde/> *Call for Papers* Digital texts processed by machines are linear strings of characters, but in most research activities in the Humanities (philology, linguistics, corpus-based analysis, cultural heritage, etc.) we store them in *databases* and we add *markup* to the text, that is a kind of intelligence made computable thanks to the use of widespread data-models, formats and standards. In the last decades, the popularity of *graph* data-models has increased, in accordance with the *semantic web* proposition and the development of standards such as RDF and OWL. Graph databases, in the form of triple stores (such as Graph-DB) or of labeled-property-graphs (Neo4j), are regarded as powerful and flexible solutions by research and cultural institutions, and private companies alike. The workshop is held to explore possible interactions between *digital texts*, the *graph* data-model, *scholarly editions* and the *semantic web*. The combinations of these objects/concepts, pursued in the last decades, remains experimental to date, and it represents one of the possible development for the field of *digital scholarly editing*. Contributions on one or more of the following topics are particularly welcome: - the conceptualization of *text as graph*; - the use of *graph-databases* for digital editions; - the* semantic web resources* for building digital scholarly editions; - the *interoperability* among digital texts through Linked Data Vocabularies; - the *integration* of graph flavoured data into xml documents. We welcome contributions from those involved in the development of *tailor-made solutions* for small scale projects as well as of large-scale *infrastructure*, focused on the *theory* and/or on the *practice* of this happy or unhappy combination. The workshop includes *presentations* and a *working group* session. Please note that the word 'workshop' means here a place for sharing ongoing research and not a hands-on training. *Invited speakers* - Ronald Haentjens Dekker (Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences – Humanities Cluster) - Samuel Müller (University of Basel - National Infrustructure for Editions) - Michele Pasin (Springer Nature) - Tobias Schweizer, Sepideh Alassi (University of Basel – Digital Humanities Lab) - Georg Vogeler (University of Graz) *Scientific committee* - Gioele Barabucci (University of Cologne) - Fabio Ciotti (University of Rome Tor Vergata) - Claire Clivaz (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) - DASCH (University of Lausanne) - Simon Gabay (University of Neuchâtel) - Frederike Neuber (Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanties) - Elena Pierazzo (University of Grenoble-Alpes) - Michael Piotrowski (University of Lausanne) - Matteo Romanello (EPFL) - Elena Spadini (University of Lausanne) - Francesca Tomasi (University of Bologna) - Aris Xanthos (University of Lausanne) *Important dates* *9 December 2018*. Deadline for the submission of abstracts *14 January 2018*. Notification of acceptance *15 April 2019*. Camera-ready version of the papers *3-4 June 2019*. Workshop *Where* Université de Lausanne – 1015 Lausanne – Switzerland *Language* The language of the workshop will be English. *Abstract submission* We invite researchers to submit abstracts for a 30 mins contribution (20 mins + 10 mins Q&A) by December 9, 2018. Abstracts will be reviewed double-blind by the members of the scientific committee, and all submissions will receive several independent reviews. Instructions for formatting and submitting abstracts will be published in September 2018. *Camera-ready paper submission* Notifications of acceptance will be sent by January 14, 2019. The authors of accepted abstracts should send a camera-ready version of their paper by April 15, 2019. The papers will be made available on the workshop platform. Before the workshop, the papers will be paired and a discussant will be assigned to each participant. The discussant must prepare two questions, that the corresponding author will receive twenty days before the workshop and should address in her/his presentation. Instructions for formatting and submitting camera-ready papers will follow. *Proceedings publication* The authors of accepted contributions will be invited to submit a revised paper after the conference, to be published in an open-access, electronic conference volume endowed with persistent identifiers. *Organization committee* - Elena Spadini (Université de Lausanne, CRLR) - Francesca Tomasi (Università di Bologna) *With the support of* - Centre de recherche sur les lettres romandes <http://www.unil.ch/crlr/home.html> (CRLR), Université de Lausanne *In collaboration with* - Digital Humanities and Digital Knowledge <https://corsi.unibo.it/2cycle/DigitalHumanitiesKnowledge> (DHDK), University of Bologna - Section des sciences du langage et de l’information <https://www.unil.ch/sli/fr/home.html> (SLI), Université de Lausanne - Lausanne Laboratory for Computational and Statistical Text Analysis <http://unil.ch/llist/en/> (LLIST) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- elenaspadini.com elena.spadini(a)unil.ch PostDoc - UNIL Centre de recherches sur les lettres romandes <http://www.unil.ch/crlr>

RAPPEL - Ménestrels au Canada, 21-22 oct. 2019
by Kouky Fianu 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

– RAPPEL – APPEL À COMMUNICATIONS DU COLLOQUE MÉNESTREL MONTRÉAL, 21-22 OCTOBRE 2019 Le numérique et les études médiévales : enjeux pédagogiques et formation par la recherche Depuis quelques années, le développement de l'enseignement numérique est devenu un enjeu majeur, tant en France qu’au Canada et ailleurs. Comme toute nouveauté susceptible de modifier les pratiques, il est aussi un objet controversé, dont l’usage transforme profondément les relations pédagogiques traditionnelles, modifie le statut même du savoir dans la relation enseignant-enseigné et bouleverse les modes de production de la connaissance. Si l’adoption d’outils nouveaux touchant la dissémination du savoir – Moocs, blogs scientifiques, carnets de recherche…– ou le renouvellement des méthodes d’apprentissage – classes inversées (ou flipped classroom), projets tutorés à distance…– n’est pas spécifique aux Humanités, ses effets varient selon les domaines du savoir qui présentent des traits particuliers, tant du point de vue des objets que des méthodes. La rencontre se focalisera par conséquent sur le numérique et les études médiévales qui intègrent des compétences et des traditions disciplinaires variées : histoire, philologie, littérature, philosophie, philologie, histoire de l’art, histoire du droit et musique. La phase initiale de bouillonnement et de foisonnement liée au développement des Humanités numériques ayant déjà quelques années, le colloque visera à faire le point en s'appuyant en particulier sur des pratiques déjà mises en œuvre dans des structures d'enseignement scolaire et universitaire. Nous proposons de dresser un bilan de ces premières expériences, en privilégiant quatre questions : • La place qu’occupe le numérique dans l’offre d’enseignement dans le domaine des études médiévales, tant du point de vue des contenus offerts par les formations que de la place institutionnelle qui lui est réservée. Quelles sont les orientations des enseignements numériques proposés à l’université – statistiques, traitement des données, fouille textuelle, SIG, etc. ? Quelle progression pédagogique est mise en place dans le cursus des étudiants et quels niveaux de maîtrise sont visés ? Dans quelle mesure l'enseignement numérique est-il concurrentiel ou complémentaire avec l'enseignement présentiel ? Quels outils sont utilisés et comment sont déployées les plateformes d'enseignement numérique dont se dotent les établissements d'enseignement ? Les besoins particuliers des utilisateurs sont-ils pris en compte ? • Les enjeux liés aux publics universitaires et à la demande sociale. Dans quelle mesure le numérique a-t-il constitué un outil d’innovation pédagogique favorisant l’accueil des nouveaux publics universitaires ? Des initiatives particulières ont-elles été mises en place pour faciliter l’apprentissage des compétences techniques nécessaire aux médiévistes – langues, sciences érudites, etc. ? Le numérique a-t-il favorisé la dissémination des connaissances dans nos domaines vers un public plus large ? Dans quelle mesure ce public d’amateurs est-il intégré à la co-construction du savoir dans le cadre de projets de production participative (ou crowdsourcing) ? Plus globalement, il s'agira de repérer les pratiques nouvelles qui permettent de faire émerger une transmission efficace des connaissances. Comment des objets numériques a priori éloignés de la médiévistique, tels que la production cartographique en ligne, les feuilletons télé ou les jeux vidéo, peuvent-ils participer à la transmission d'un savoir élaboré dans des cercles scientifiques, voire favoriser la production du savoir en études médiévales ? • Le numérique permet également des formes de collaboration inédites entre des communautés et des institutions. Dans quelle mesure l’innovation pédagogique a-t-elle conduit à l’élaboration de nouveaux partenariats ? Concernent-ils seulement des universités ? Les institutions culturelles et patrimoniales ont-elles été associées ? De quelle manière ? Ces collaborations ont-elles favorisé l’intégration de contributeurs, non labellisés comme experts, ayant participé à la production de connaissances ? • Enfin, le numérique permet des formes de pédagogie qui valorisent la formation par la recherche, qu’elle soit individuelle ou collective. Dans quelle mesure des volets de formation ont-ils été intégrés dans des projets de recherche concernant le domaine des études médiévales ? Existe-t-il dans les universités européennes et nord-américaines des connexions entre les niveaux de formation initiale et avancés ? Dans quelle mesure ces dispositifs visent-ils à une acculturation numérique des étudiants en Humanités ? Quels types de collaborations entre étudiants avancés et débutants ont été mis en place ? Est-il possible d’évaluer l’impact de l’enseignement de méthodes, de techniques informatiques sur la production de la recherche ? Est-ce que le développement et la mise en place d’un enseignement de techniques d’éditions a eu, par exemple, des effets sur l’érudition ? À côté de la présentation des programmes déployés et des réflexions engagées par la communauté des médiévistes concernant la place du numérique dans les pratiques pédagogiques et scientifiques, il s’agira également, dans ce bilan, d’identifier les obstacles à l’introduction de ces nouvelles méthodes, que ces derniers soient de nature institutionnelle, disciplinaire ou scientifique, afin de les mettre à la discussion. Comité d'organisation : Kouky Fianu (univ. d’Ottawa), Davide Gherdevich (DYPAC, univ. de Versailles-Saint-Quentin, univ. de Paris-Saclay), Pierre Chastang (DYPAC, univ. de Versailles-Saint-Quentin, univ. de Paris-Saclay), Hélène Noizet (univ. de Paris-1), Stéphane Lamassé (univ. de Paris-1), Francis Gingras (univ. de Montréal), Benjamin Deruelle (univ. du Québec à Montréal). Les propositions doivent être envoyées avant le 15 décembre 2018 à Davide Gherdevich, dgherdevich(a)gmail.com.

Global Digital Humanities Symposium CFP - Deadline EXTENDED to Nov 18 + Keynote Announcement
by Kristen Mapes 15 Nov '18

15 Nov '18

We are thrilled to announce the conference keynote presentations for the 2019 Global DH Symposium! One of our keynote talks will be jointly delivered by Sylvia Fernández and Maira Álvarez, PhD candidates at the University of Houston and collaborators on the *Borderlands Archives Cartography* and *Torn Apart/Separados* projects. The second keynote talk will come from representatives of the *Native Land* project. We are also pleased to extend the proposal deadline for submissions until the end of the day on Sunday, November 18th. Please email *dh(a)msu.edu <dh(a)msu.edu>* with any questions about proposing. *Global Digital Humanities Symposium* March 21-22, 2019 MSU, Main Library, Green Room *msuglobaldh.org <http://msuglobaldh.org>* Call for Proposals *Deadline: November 18* *Proposal form* Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH into its fourth year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism, intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial frameworks to participate. Given the growth of these fields within the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, *endangered data*, and the digital divide. DH communities have raised and responded to these issues, pushing the field forward. We view the 2019 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Additionally, we define the term "humanities" rather broadly to incorporate the discussion of issues that encourage interdisciplinary understanding of the humanities. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by *Sunday, November 18, midnight anytime:* · Critical cultural studies and analytics · Cultural heritage in a range of contexts · DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement · Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance, especially in a postcolonial context · DH responses to crisis · How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work · Global research dialogues and collaborations · Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital · Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism · Global digital pedagogies · Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital · Digital and global languages and literatures · The state of global digital humanities community · Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change · Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies · Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context · Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context *Presentation Formats:* · 5-minute lightning talk · 15-minute presentation · 90-minute workshop · 90-minute panel · There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute virtual presentations Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal. *Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 22, 2018* Kristen Mapes Assistant Director of Digital Humanities College of Arts and Letters Michigan State University kristenmapes.com kmapes(a)msu.edu kmapes86(a)gmail.com

History and Text analysis (Paris, 16-18 jan)
by Octave Julien 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Dear colleagues, On January 16-18 2019, the Pireh (Pôle Informatique de Recherche et d'Enseignement en Histoire – Université Paris 1) is organizing at the Sorbonne a conference on the relationship between History, language and text analysis, with the support of the university Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne and the Lamop (Laboratoire de Médiévistique Occidentale de Paris). Through 27 papers and 7 posters, the participants will explore the present uses of statistical and computational analysis of texts in history. Recent intellectual and technical developments invite us to rethink and redefine the way these tools can be used by historians, whether for combining history and linguistics, exploring or mining massive textual sources, or for enriching more traditional historical methods. Short texts and ego-documents, a type of source frequently used by historians will be the topic of a first session. Another group of papers will show how data mining can be used to explore and study large corpora of historical texts. A full session will be devoted to temporality in text analysis, an essential yet often neglected dimension in the work of historians. The last session will adress the relationship between language, concepts, and authority and the uses of text analysis in this field of study. Program, informations and registration: http://histlangtexto.sciencesconf.org Best regards, Stéphane Lamassé, Léo Dumont et Octave Julien
