CfP: Workshop "Feast, Holiday, Celebration" (Voces 2021. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words)
by Section de Lexicographie 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear list members, Please find below a call for papers that might be of interest to some of you. (French version below) On behalf of the organizing committee, Renaud Alexandre Section de Lexicographie et de Sémantique (Comité Du Cange) Institut de Recherche et d'Histoire des Textes (CNRS) ======================================================= Voces 2021. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words: Feast, Holiday, Celebration Workshop – 29-30 September 2021 https://glossaria.eu/voces/ Medieval society is inseparable from both the written and spoken words that brought it to life. It is through those words that the people of the Middle Ages shared their beliefs, their ideas and their experiences. Words were used to share knowledge, spread the Gospel, but also to stigmatize the Other, exclude heterodoxy, and call for war. Controlling word senses was one of the major means to sustain power, to take possession of goods and to control access to knowledge. That could lead to verbal jousting or even real conflicts. Modern scholars that are trying to reconstruct the meaning of medieval words in their relationship with historical, social or psychological reality, are facing multiple problems. Firstly, they have to handle the inherent vagueness and ambiguity of the Latin language that prevent them from pinpointing the exact meaning of most frequent words. Secondly, they have to measure the pragmatic functions of those terms, which served not only to talk about objects but also to make things. Finally, they have to establish the link between words and cultural, social or political reality. The conference cycle Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words, co-organised by the IRHT (CNRS) and Institute of Polish Language (PAN) aims to take a closer look at Latin words that have played an important role in the medieval culture. Every two year we propose to focus on a different major medieval concept and its linguistic expressions. The conference aims to bring together historians, linguists, philosophers and philologists from various theoretical background (historical semantics, Begriffsgeschichte, cognitive semantics, histoire des mentalités etc.) and who use various methodology (corpus studies, lexical analysis, etc.). Papers dealing with medieval key words or concepts in a broad context of social, political and religious life are particularly encouraged. Voces 2021. Feast, Holiday, Celebration This year’s edition concurs with the 100th anniversary of the Medieval Latin Dictionary, a project of the International Academic Union which was to bring together the post-war European scientific community around the impossible task of describing medieval Latin vocabulary. Originally scheduled for 2020, the conference was to focus on the concepts of FEAST, CELEBRATION and HOLIDAY and their vocabulary. Despite the current health crisis, the organizers have decided to stick to this topic. Depending on circumstances, the conference will be held either in hybrid mode with the in-person event at the Campus Condorcet, Paris-Aubervilliers, or fully online. As still today, the feasts deeply structured social and private life of medieval people. The recurring religious holidays reminded believers of their relationship to the Absolute and gave meaning to the medieval sense of time. Private celebrations, limited to friends and family, were used to underline the events of people’s lives. Public holidays, on the other hand, created and sustained social coherence, by highlighting common values and cultural norms that are usually implicit. Suggested topics We invite papers that discuss a chosen term or concept, to illustrate how the concepts were understood and represented in medieval cultural, religious, social and political life. 1. The concepts of FEAST, CELEBRATION and HOLIDAY and their linguistic representations: festum, sollemnitas, feria etc.; Latin vs. vernacular terms; the metaphors of FEASTING etc.; the vocabulary and the social reality of FEASTING etc. 2. Religious holidays: Church holidays, ceremonies, saints day; was there boundary between religious and political, social or individual celebrations? 3. Structuring lives of individuals: birth, wedding and funeral; celebrating individual experience. 4. Celebration as social practice: urban vs. rural vs. courtly celebrations; bonding through celebration; carnival and social hierarchy. 5. The materiality of celebration: drinking and eating; games and activities; loca celebrandi. 6. Theoretical issues * Latin vocabulary and categories of medieval thought: a simple link? * lexical borrowing and semantic change: new words = new worlds? * medieval Latin and individuals: cognition, experience, emotions * scientific vs. folk knowledge * ideology, power, violence, memory * negotiating meaning in interpretative communities Submission We welcome two forms of submissions: * Long papers (30 minutes, 15 minutes discussion), that go beyond a single text or author, and provide either wider (historical, social, cultural etc.) context for the discussion or pose important theoretical and methodological questions (historical change, methodological issues etc.); * Short papers (15 minutes, 5 minutes discussion), which are more limited in scope, but still bring forward links between vocabulary, conceptualization and socio-cultural reality of the Middle Ages. Paper language: English, French, German, Spanish. Abstracts should be submitted via the EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=voces21) by 15 May 2021 (23:59 CEST): * long papers: 500 words (without references) * short papers: 250 words (without references) Submissions should clearly state the paper topic, briefly discuss existing research and explain whythe analysis of the suggested term or field is important to our understanding of medieval social practices. The proceedings of the conference will be published in a special issue of the Archivum Latinitatis Medii Aevi (Bulletin Du Cange). Organizing Committee: Bruno BON (IRHT-CNRS), Anita GUERREAU-JALABERT (IRHT-CNRS), Krzysztof NOWAK (IJP-PAN), Nathalie PICQUE (IRHT-CNRS). Program Committee: TBA. ======================================================= VOCES. Le Moyen Âge latin à travers ses mots-clés : Fêtes et célébrations Journées d’étude – 29 et 30 septembre 2021 https://glossaria.eu/voces/ La société médiévale est inséparable des mots qui l’ont fait vivre, à l’oral comme à l’écrit. C’est à travers eux que les femmes et les hommes du Moyen Âge ont partagé leurs croyances, leurs idées et leurs expériences. Les mots servaient à partager le savoir et à prêcher l’Évangile, mais aussi à stigmatiser l’Autre, exclure l’hétérodoxie ou appeler à la guerre. La maîtrise du sens des mots était l’un des principaux moyens de conserver le pouvoir, de s’approprier des richesses, ou de contrôler l’accès au savoir. Cela pouvait conduire à des joutes verbales, voire à de réels conflits. Les chercheurs contemporains qui tentent de reconstruire le sens des mots médiévaux et leurs relations avec la réalité historique, sociale ou psychologique qu’ils sont censés représenter sont confrontés à de nombreuses difficultés. Tout d’abord, ils se heurtent à l’ambiguïté et à l’ellipse inhérentes à la langue, qui interdisent de fixer un sens univoque à la plupart des mots fréquents. Ensuite, ils doivent mesurer les fonctions pragmatiques de ces vocables, qui servent non seulement à dire, mais aussi à faire. Enfin, il leur faut établir le lien entre les mots employés et la réalité culturelle, sociale ou politique. Le cycle de conférences « Voces. Le Moyen-Âge à travers ses mots-clés », lancé par l’Institut de Recherche et d’Histoire des Textes (CNRS) et l’Institut de la Langue Polonaise (PAN), se propose d’examiner attentivement les mots qui ont joué un rôle important dans l’Europe latine médiévale. Tous les deux ans, nous nous concentrerons sur un concept central pour le Moyen Âge latin et ses expressions linguistiques. La conférence vise à rassembler des historiens, des linguistes, des philosophes et des philologues de divers horizons théoriques (sémantique historique, Begriffsgeschichte, sémantique cognitive, histoire des mentalités, etc.), et qui utilisent des méthodes variées (étude de corpus, analyse lexicale, etc.). Sont particulièrement encouragées les contributions qui traitent de mots ou de concepts clés du Moyen Âge dans un contexte assez large de la vie sociale, politique et religieuse. L’édition de cette année concorde avec le 100e anniversaire du « Dictionnaire du Latin Médiéval », projet de l’Union Académique Internationale qui devait réunir la communauté scientifique européenne de l’après-guerre autour de la tâche impossible de décrire le vocabulaire latin médiéval. Initialement prévue en 2020, la conférence devait se consacrer au concept de la fête et son vocabulaire. Malgré la crise sanitaire actuelle, les organisateurs ont décidé de s’en tenir à ce thème. Sous réserve de l’évolution de la situation sanitaire, la conférence se réunira à Paris sur le Campus Condorcet (Paris-Aubervilliers), en mode hybride : communications possibles en visioconférence. Comme encore aujourd’hui, les fêtes structuraient profondément la vie sociale et privée du Moyen Âge. Les fêtes religieuses récurrentes rappelaient aux croyants leur relation à l’Absolu et donnaient son sens au temps médiéval. Les fêtes privées, limitées aux amis et à la famille, marquaient les événements de la vie de chacun. Les fêtes publiques, quant à elles, produisaient et soutenaient la cohésion sociale, en rendant visibles des valeurs et des normes culturelles qui ne sont généralement qu’implicites Thèmes suggérés Les contributions discuteront d’un terme ou d’un concept choisi, pour illustrer comment la fête était perçue et représentée dans la vie culturelle, religieuse, sociale et politique du Moyen Âge : * le concept de FÊTE et sa représentation linguistique : festum, sollemnitas, feria, etc. ; termes latins vs. vernaculaires ; métaphores de la fête ; vocabulaire de la fête et réalité sociale. * les fêtes religieuses : fêtes ecclésiastiques, cérémonies, fêtes des saints ; fêtes religieuses vs. fêtes politiques, sociales, individuelles ; * structuration de la vie : naissance, mariage, funérailles ; les fêtes dans l’expérience individuelle ; * la pratique sociale de la fête : fêtes urbaines, fêtes rurales, fêtes de cour ; créer des liens par la fête ; carnaval et hiérarchie sociale ; * matérialité de la fête : boire et manger ; jeux et activités ; loca celebrandi ; * questions théoriques : vocabulaire latin vs. catégories de la pensée médiévale ; emprunts lexicaux et changement sémantique ; le latin médiéval et l’individu ; le latin médiéval et les savoirs ; idéologie, pouvoir, violence, mémoire, etc. ; négocier le sens dans les communautés interprétatives Modalités de soumission Deux types de contributions sont attendus : * des communications longues (30 min. + 15 min. de discussion) ne se limitent pas à un seul texte ou un seul auteur, et fournissent un contexte assez large (historique, social, culturel) pour la discussion, ou posent des questions théoriques importantes (changement historique, problèmes méthodologiques) ; * des communications courtes (15 min. + 5 min. de discussion) sont plus limitées dans leur portée, mais mettent en avant les liens entre le vocabulaire ou la conceptualisation et la réalité socioculturelle du Moyen Âge. Langues de la conférence : allemand, anglais, castillan, français. Les soumissions pourront être déposées jusqu’au 15/05/2021 à minuit sur : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=voces21 Communications longues : max. 500 mots (sans références) Communications courtes : max. 250 mots (sans références) Les soumissions doivent présenter clairement la problématique, discuter brièvement les recherches existantes et expliquer en quoi l’analyse du terme ou du champ proposé est importante pour la compréhension des pratiques sociales médiévales. Les actes de la conférence seront publiés dans la revue Archivum Latinitatis Medii Aevi (Bulletin Du Cange). Organisation : Bruno Bon (IRHT-CNRS), Anita Guerreau-Jalabert (IRHT-CNRS), Krzysztof Nowak (IJP-PAN), Nathalie Picque (IRHT-CNRS). Comité scientifique : à suivre.

by Shari Boodts 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear Colleagues, On 27-29 October 2021, the ERC Project PASSIM (Patristic Sermons in the Middle Ages<https://www.mf.surf.net/canit/urlproxy.php?_q=aHR0cHM6Ly9hcHBsZWphY2suc2NpZ…>, Radboud University Nijmegen) will organize the international Workshop: On the Way to the Future of Digital Manuscript Studies Nijmegen, 27-29 October 2021 Over the last decades, the ability to exploit digital potential has radically impacted research in the field of manuscript studies. From the most basic facilities, such as the increasing availability of digitized images and documents, to sophisticated attempts at automatizing the entire process of critical editing, the development of digital tools is extraordinary: it has created unprecedented opportunities to mine the data, achieve innovative results, and display them, in ways which previously could only be imagined. In such a dynamic context, the number of valuable enterprises continues to grow: the time is ripe for a consideration of the achievements already obtained, and of the foundations that our current work is laying for long-term development of the field. Through the organization of this workshop, the ERC Project PASSIM seeks to provide an occasion to pursue this goal. Scientific Committee: Mariken Teeuwen (Utrecht Universiteit - Huygens ING-KNAW), Olivier Hekster (Radboud Universiteit - KNAW), Shari Boodts (Radboud Universiteit), Gleb Schmidt (Radboud Universiteit), Riccardo Macchioro (Radboud Universiteit). Confirmed Speakers: Marjorie Burghart, Mike Kestemont, Thomas Köntges, Inka Moilanen, Elena Pierazzo, Matthieu Pignot, Philipp Roelli, Dominique Stutzmann, Mariken Teeuwen, Anne-Marie Turcan-Verkerk, Martin Wallraff. Venue. The workshop will be held on 27-29 October 2021, either on location in Nijmegen (ideally), in a hybrid form, or online depending on the development of the Covid-emergency. Board and lodging expenses will be borne by the Organization; unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee coverage of travel costs at this time. Proceedings. We plan to publish the Proceedings as quickly as possible after the workshop as a volume or special issue of a relevant journal. CALL FOR PAPERS We are glad to announce the opening of the Call for Papers for 25 minutes long presentations. Abstract Submission If you would like to present a lecture at the Workshop, please send an application consisting of a short abstract (ca. 350 words) and concise CV (max. 1 pag.) to: Riccardo Macchioro (r.macchioro(a)let.ru.nl<mailto:r.macchioro@let.ru.nl>) and Gleb Schmidt (gleb.schmidt(a)ru.nl<mailto:gleb.schmidt@ru.nl>). Abstract submission deadline: 10 May 2021. Acceptance will be communicated shortly after, by 15 May 2021. Early career scientists and scholars (Ph.D., Post-Doc) are especially encouraged to apply. TOPICS Three key areas are crucial for the advancement of digital manuscript studies: 1) the contribution of research projects with a specific goal to the field as a whole; 2) the capacity to expand their (web)application(s) to other disciplines rooted in textual source-material (such as history, philology, cultural studies, and more), and vice-versa; 3) the challenges entailed in developing and implementing common/universal standards and data models (e.g. for data structuring, storage, and interoperability). Taking into account this overall framework, the main focus of the contributions can be on the scholarly problems, as well as on the technical issues involved. Possible topics include (without being limited to): Digital approaches to historical phenomena: evaluation of the social impact of a given literary corpus; the reconstruction of disintegrated manuscripts; the digital restoration of dispersed medieval libraries; how digital frameworks enhance the study of the interaction between the materiality of manuscript objects and intellectual concepts like content and organization. Data management, sustainability, interoperability: construction of big repositories of searchable metadata; the building of shared standards to encode metadata on manuscripts; networking, sustainability of structuring standards, interoperability and reusability of the data accumulated. Digital stemmatology: translation of stemmatic principles into reception studies; approaches to stemmatology from a digital point of view; automatic grouping of manuscripts; approaches to overabundant manuscript traditions by means of automatic collation tools. Computational approaches: deep learning and/or machine learning techniques for computational analysis (script identification, full-text analysis, authorship attribution, …); search for a balance between accuracy, exhaustivity, and serendipity, while programming and processing computational-statistical analysis; development and employment of OCR transcription tools. Interaction between the machine and the human scholar: harmonization of (digital) phylogenetics with the exigency of a not (too) mechanic evaluation of the data; strategies to evaluate and classify the results obtained by launching queries on huge amounts of data. Visualization strategies and tools: interpretation of the results of overarching queries; representation of connections between complex objects such as collections of texts; innovative digital editions. For any questions or further information, please do not hesitate to contact us: Riccardo Macchioro: r.macchioro(a)let.ru.nl<mailto:r.macchioro@let.ru.nl>; Gleb Schmidt: gleb.schmidt(a)ru.nl<mailto:gleb.schmidt@ru.nl>. On behalf of the Scientific Committee, Yours sincerely Riccardo Macchioro, Gleb Schmidt

Best wishes, Agnieszka Backman, on behalf of Cesta -- Agnieszka Backman, PhD Wallenberg Postdoc at Stanford CESTA Digital Humanities Public Lecture Prof. Elaine Treharne Near and Far: Medieval Manuscripts Through Digital Time and Space [cidA01E8B58-289A-4B7E-B9C5-0F2CD1113037] Tuesday, March 9, 12 pm Pacific Register for the Zoom webinar<https://stanford.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_niYcChLtQRKHkwXLuqexDw> This lecture will investigate the lives of medieval manuscripts and fragments that date from the late sixth century to the fifteenth century, tracing their survival to the present day, when increasing numbers exist online in digital format. The benefits to scholars of digitization are incalculable, especially in a time of global pandemic when it is impossible to view manuscripts in person. But what do we see when we work with manuscripts and fragments in online form only? What are the advantages and what are the challenges of new technologies for viewing books produced by hand as new forms of data? This lecture is a call to maximise the opportunities of the digital environment, while being aware of the essential skills and expertise required to make the most of access to these incredible resources. Participants can expect a rich and diverse range of images and ideas as we look at how manuscripts become data, and data becomes new knowledge. About the speaker: Elaine Treharne, MArAd, PhD, FSA, FRHistS, FEA, FLSW, is the Roberta Bowman Denning Professor of Humanities, Professor of English, and Robert K. Packard University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at Stanford University. She is a medieval literature and manuscript specialist, with expertise in the long history of human communication and archival studies. She has published over thirty books and sixty articles, mostly focused on Early English texts in their manuscript contexts, and also on the digital aspect of early textuality. She directs Stanford Text Technologies, which investigates the potential of data analysis for the study of historical knowledge production. She is interested in the record of human experience: how it is transmitted, who is remembered, and how the past is memorialised. Her newest books include Text Technologies: A History, with Claude Willan (Stanford University Press, 2019); the Cambridge Companion to British Medieval Manuscripts, ed. with Orietta Da Rold (CUP, 2020); and Perceptions of Medieval Manuscripts: The Phenomenal Book (OUP, 2021).

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear All, The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network would like to bring to your attention our second workshop, organised by Prof. Lorna Hughes and Dr Paul Gooding (University of Glasgow), on communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development. It will be held on Tues 16th March; full details below. All welcome! For a place at the workshop please register via EventBrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. We are also conducting a short survey of those working in DH in the UK or Ireland to discern gaps in capacity and training strategies, and to inform discussions around the creation of a future Association. We would love to hear your views and would be very grateful if you would consider completing our short survey<https://dariah-ireland.org/pollsurvey/index.php/1> by 15th March: many thanks indeed. We hope to see as many of you as possible for the workshop on the 16th. Please feel free to join us for all or part of the day, as your schedule allows. For full details and for future events please see our network website at https://dhnetwork.org/. Best wishes, Charlotte --- Digital Humanities and advocacy: communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development UK-Ireland DH Network workshop Tues 16th March, 10:00-16:00 Please register via Eventbrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. How should a DH Association for the UK and Ireland carry out advocacy? How can we ensure that any Association that emerges has both the authority and representation to speak on behalf of DH communities of practice? What are the entities that need expert input from the DH community, and how can the Association ensure that it informs and shapes policy and other decision making processes? The aim of this workshop is to discuss the policy areas in which DH interests need to be heard, and discuss some shared, strategic challenges where a united voice of those working in DH is needed. The workshop will explore the key issues that affect DH development in the UK and Ireland that have policy implications, areas where expert opinions and guidance may be needed, and the audiences for these views. We will focus on three key areas where advocacy is needed in DH: Research, teaching, and infrastructure. In research, these issues include the way that DH tools, methods, and outputs are assessed for national research assessment exercises and peer review of digital content, tools, methods and research outputs, and the impact of open access publishing on DH research outputs. For teaching, central issues have emerged around shared curricula and teaching assessment, especially the lessons learned from recent experimentation with online course delivery. In terms of infrastructure development, what are areas for investment that will impact the development and uptake of DH? And what can we do to effect engagement with those shaping policy regarding key infrastructure investment? Is there a need for a shared view? How can we advocate for DH, and to whom? How best can we facilitate international cooperation and collaboration: in the UK’s post-Brexit landscape, how can we stay connected despite the loss of schemes like Erasmus? How can we ensure continued UK DH involvement in H2020? And structurally, what model of DH Association in the UK and Ireland would underpin an advocacy agenda? What membership models would support an organisation that has a resonant and authoritative ‘voice’ for our field?

These awards are intended to help put interesting DH resources in the spotlight and engage DH users (and general public) in the work of the community. Although the working language of DH Awards is English, nominations may be for any resource in any language. Awards are not specific to geography, language, conference, organization or field of humanities. There is no financial prize associated with these community awards. There were many nominations and the international nominations committee (http://dhawards.org/dhawards2020/committee/) reviewed each nomination. We’re sorry if your nomination was not included, or changed category, all decisions are final once voting opens. Please see http://dhawards.org/dhawards2020/faqs <http://dhawards.org/dhawards2020/faqs> for this and other frequently asked questions. Anyone is allowed to vote, yes anyone! But please only vote once! Please cast your vote by looking at the nominations and following the link to voting form at http://dhawards.org/dhawards2020/voting/ before midnight (GMT) on 2021-03-07 when the voting will be closed. Good luck!
