DM at Kalamazoo 2019! CFP for Interdisciplinarity in Digital Medieval Studies
by Ransom, Lynn 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '18

The DM Executive Board is pleased to announce the CFP for the following Digital Medievalist Sponsored Session at the 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, May 9-12, 2019: Interdisciplinarity in Digital Medieval Studies Digital methodologies and tools are commonly used among medievalists working in a variety of disciplines; less common, however, is the application of these methodologies and tools to cross-disciplinary scholarship. This session will consider 1) the role that digital projects play in reaching across disciplinary boundaries in medieval studies, 2) best practices for cross-disciplinary digital and computational research, and 3) examples of the success and failure of such research. For example, proposals may consider the use of stylometrics in historical source criticism, the use of social network analysis in literary studies, or probe manuscript datasets for evidence in support of liturgical, literary, historical, and art historical research. Our goal is to demonstrate how the development and application of digital tools, methods, and formats can enable and facilitate the interdisciplinary and collaborative research of experts and specialists across their respective subdisciplines in order to produce, provide, and openly share better insights and new knowledge with scholars and the wider public alike. Please send abstracts (ca. 250 words) and the ICMS Participant Information Form* to Lynn Ransom at lransom(a)upenn.edu<mailto:lransom@upenn.edu>. Deadline is September 15, 2018. *The ICMS Participant Information form will be available here in July: http://www.wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions. ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Curator of Programs, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies schoenberginstitute.org Project Director, The New Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts https://sdbm.library.upenn.edu/ Co-Editor, Manuscript Studies: A Journal of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies mss.pennpress.org The University of Pennsylvania Libraries 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-6206 215.898.7851

2018 Schoenberg Symposium_Save the date!
by Ransom, Lynn 26 Jun '18

26 Jun '18

11th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 15-17, 2018 Illuminations: Manuscript, Medium, Message In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 11th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. Manuscript illumination has often been considered in relation to the texts it accompanies, but rarely in terms of its interplay with other artistic media. Historically, however, the technique was closely associated with other forms of artistic expression and served as a crucial point of contact and transfer for visual motifs across space and time. The goal of this year's symposium is to examine cases of intermedial exchange through the lenses of technique, style, iconography, social context, and cultural geography, while also posing broader questions about the deep connections between the craft of illumination and other arts more widely. Of special interest will be insights gained from the technical examination of works in different media, new comparisons made possible by digital technology, and the discovery of linkages once obscured by strict historiographical divisions For more information, go to https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/events/kislak/SIMS/ljs-symposium11. Registration opens in September 2018.

Open call: Modeling Travels in History: an ORBIS-esque Hackathon @ Uni Vienna (July 18-20, 2018)
by Maria Vargha 07 Jun '18

Open call: Modeling Travels in History: an ORBIS-esque Hackathon @ Uni Vienna (July 18-20, 2018) Everyone is familiar with Google Maps—all of us are using it on a daily basis. In 2012 a group of researchers at Stanford (led by Walter Scheidel), developed Orbis (http://orbis.stanford.edu/)[1], which, one may put, applied the same geographical principles to a particular historical context. Dubbed “a Google Maps for the Roman Empire”[2], this model became a popular historical online resource and an object of envy for scholars working in other historical contexts. Inspired by Orbis, the Uni-Wien DH Team is organizing a three-day hackathon at the University of Vienna on the theme of map visualisations for historical data. One specific objective of the hackathon will be to build a sort of “Orbis-in-a-Box”—an open-source platform that would allow others to model movements of people and objects in different historical and cultural contexts. (For more details on this particular idea, see: http://kgeographer.com/orbis-in-a-box/). We are inviting interested digital humanists with an inclination for coding to partake in this 3-day event in Vienna. We are able to offer small bursaries to offset traveling costs. If you would like to attend, please send a message to maxim.romanov(a)univie.ac.at with “ORBIS-esque Hackathon” in the subject by 30 June 2018, stating your current institutional affiliation (if any) and your motivation for participating in the hackathon. Please also specify whether you are applying for a bursary. Yours truly, Uni-Wien DH Team Tara Andrews, Mária Vargha, and Maxim Romanov http://ifg.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/staff/digital-humanities/ Links & Notes [1] https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bult.2015.1720410206 [2] https://io9.gizmodo.com/5911640/behold-orbis-a-google-maps-for-the-roman-em…
