Call for Proposals – The Index of Medieval Art<https://ima.princeton.edu/> at Kalamazoo 2019 [cid:image001.jpg@01D41CF4.A82D3540] 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, MI, May 9 to 12, 2019 A Roundtable Encountering Medieval Iconography in the Twenty-First Century: Scholarship, Social Media, and Digital Methods Organizers: M. Alessia Rossi and Jessica Savage (Index of Medieval Art, Princeton University) Sponsored by the Index of Medieval Art, Princeton University Stemming from the launch of the new database and enhancements of search technology and social media at the Index of Medieval Art, this roundtable addresses the many ways we encounter medieval iconography in the twenty-first century. We invite proposals from emerging scholars and a variety of professionals who are teaching with, blogging about, and cataloguing medieval iconography. This discussion will touch on the different ways we consume and create information with our research, shed light on original approaches, and discover common goals. Participants in this roundtable will give short introductions (5-7 minutes) on issues relevant to their area of specialization and participate in a discussion on how they use online resources, such as image databases, to incorporate the study of medieval iconography into their teaching, research, and public outreach. Possible questions include: What makes an online collection “teaching-friendly” and accessible for student discovery? How does social media, including Twitter, Facebook, and blogging, make medieval image collections more visible? How do these platforms broaden interest in iconography and connect users to works of art? What are the aims and impact of organizations such as, the Index, the Getty, the INHA, the Warburg, and ICONCLASS, who are working with large stores of medieval art and architecture information? How can we envisage a wider network and discussion of professional practice within this specialized area? Please send a 250-word abstract outlining your contribution to this roundtable and a completed Participant Information Form (available via the Congress Submissions website: https://wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions) by September 15 to M. Alessia Rossi (marossi(a)princeton.edu<mailto:marossi@princeton.edu>) and Jessica Savage (jlsavage(a)princeton.edu<mailto:jlsavage@princeton.edu>).

CFP Kalamazoo 2019 ‘Big Data’ in Medieval Studies
by Susanna Allés Torrent 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

CALL FOR PAPERS – ‘Big Data’ in Medieval Studies 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies <http://www.wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions> Western Michigan University; May 9-12, 2019 Sponsored by Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures <https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/digital-philology-journal-medieval-cultu…> Organized by Susanna Allés-Torrent (University of Miami) and Albert Lloret (University of Massachusetts Amherst) The creation of digital collections of texts, or textual corpora, for research and preservation may be one of the seminal technological innovations in the digital humanities that still remains at the core of many text-oriented disciplines, including those belonging to medieval studies. When creating a textual corpus, digital humanists face many key choices that will determine their project’s success. These decisions include the selection of standards, format types, methods for text recollection, searchability, access, lemmatization, and interoperability, among others. Once a textual corpus is created, quantitative analysis allows researchers to study texts from a variety of critical perspectives and methodologies: statistics, stylometry, authorship atribution and verification, intertextuality, script recognition, stemmatology, text mining, topic modeling, etc. These analytical methodologies are linked to the study of large amounts of information, to which one may be tempted to refer to as big data. But what constitutes “big data” in medieval studies and the digital humanities at large? Does thinking of textual corpora as “big data” help frame their forms and uses? We invite paper submissions that reflect on the theory, practices, and challenges of creating— and researching through—textual corpora, including but not limited to: • protocols and technologies for the creation of textual corpora. • examples of textual corpora. • methologies for the study of textual corpora (e.g., stylometry, stemmatology, script recognition, etc.). • theory of textual corpora and “big data” in medieval studies. Please send a 100-word abstract and a Participant Information form to Susanna Allés-Torrent and Albert Lloret at lloret(a)umass.edu <mailto:lloret@umass.edu> by September 15.
