2019 Schoenberg Symposium_Registration open!
by Ransom, Lynn 09 Sep '19

09 Sep '19

In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce: The 12th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 21-23, 2019 Hooking Up The concept of linked open data is the holy grail of the digital humanities. Yet the problem of how to link information across platforms has existed since civilization began. As knowledge and learning expanded in pre-modern society, the problems associated with collecting, combining, and disseminating information inspired new approaches to and technologies for the material text. In the internet age, we continue to grapple with the same problems and issues. While technologies have changed, the questions remain the same. This year's symposium explores the connections between historic and current approaches to data linkage in regard to manuscripts and manuscript research. Hooking Up addresses the topic from a variety of angles and considers how the manuscript book operates as a vehicle for information retrieval and dissemination from the technology of the page and the textual apparatus of a book, to the library, and finally, the internet. We will also consider such questions as how medieval practices of memory shaped information retrieval and gathering, how did the technology of the manuscripts book-in all its many forms-facilitate or hinder information processing, how can medieval solutions inform modern technologies, and how do modern technologies illuminate medieval practices? The program will also feature sessions highlighting projects that are advancing linked data technologies for manuscript researchers, including the T-AP Digging Into Data Challenge project Mapping Manuscript Migrations<http://mappingmanuscriptmigrations.org/>.

Call for Proposals Open for Global Digital Humanities Symposium - Deadline Nov 1
by Kristen Mapes 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Dear colleagues, Please consider applying to present at this symposium, which includes work from across disciplines and timeframes. Best, Kristen Mapes *Global Digital Humanities Symposium* March 26-27, 2020 Michigan State University msuglobaldh.org *Call for Proposals* Deadline: November 1 Proposal form <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/> Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH into its fifth year, on March 26-27, 2020. 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. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of MSU's Cultural Heritage Informatics Program <http://chi.anthropology.msu.edu/>, we particularly encourage proposals along that theme, but as always we strive to showcase DH work in all its forms. Alongside the expansion of digital humanities 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. This symposium is 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. 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. 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 *Friday, November 1, midnight in your timezone*: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western - 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 - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations within the digital humanities community - 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 - 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 - Productive failure *Presentation Formats*: - 5-minute lightning talk - 15-minute presentation - 90-minute workshop - 90-minute panel - Poster presentation - 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. *Submit a proposal here* <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/> *Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 9, 2019* 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

DM @ IMC2020, CfP for a DM session at Leeds 2020
by Bleier, Roman (roman.bleier＠uni-graz.at) 02 Sep '19

02 Sep '19

Dear Digital Medievalists, Digital methods are by definition at the border of Medieval Studies. This bold statement is primarily justified by the observation that the application of digital methods is triggered by a research community outside Medieval Studies, i.e. Computer Science and New Media Studies. Therefore, in its interdisciplinary nature digital medieval studies is a border-crossing discipline and breaks up traditionally developed scholarly silos and institutional borders. The experimentation with and application of new methods and technologies challenges traditional perceptions and research approaches. Another kind of digital boarders are "metadata borders". For example, digital cataloging standards create unintended, and sometimes intended borders and boundaries, that prevent data-sharing and linking. In the light of this proposition the Digital Medievalist will take the opportunity of next years' general IMC theme ("Borders") to discuss cutting edge and "border-crossing" digital methods and technologies and/or borders and boundaries caused by digital methods. Topics may include current research in machine learning, computer vision, 3D modeling, IIIF, multispectral imaging, Handwritten Text Recognition, Linked Data and distant reading, etc. Machine learning, for instance, poses specific problems for Medieval Studies, as its success depends on the availability, findability, reusability, and accessibility of large amounts of data. Similar issues exist with the application of other digital methods to medieval material and the session(s) "Digital Borders of Medieval Studies" will be the place to present and discuss them. The Digital Medievalist community invites the submission of proposals for 20-minutes papers covering a topic relating to the session title and focusing on the application of digital methods and technologies for current and future research in the field of Medieval Studies. Please send your proposal (300 Words incl. a short CV) to dm.imc2020(a)gmail.com by Sept. 15th. ________________________ Roman Bleier Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz roman.bleier(a)uni-graz.at<mailto:roman.bleier@uni-graz.at> Tel. 0043 316 380 5772 Elisabethstraße 59/III, 8010 Graz, Austria informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at<http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/> Kompetenznetzwerk Digitale Edition - KONDE <http://www.digitale-edition.at/> Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik e.V. <http://www.i-d-e.de<http://www.i-d-e.de/>> Digital Medievalist <http://digitalmedievalist.org<http://digitalmedievalist.org/>>
