Estimados compañeros, Os hacemos llegar un curso de verano organizado por el Laboratorio de Humanidades Digitales de la UNED<https://linhd.uned.es/>. El curso lleva por título Creación de un proyecto en Humanidades Digitales basado en el análisis de textos: modelado y procesamiento<https://extension.uned.es/actividad/idactividad/24581> y se celebrará del 28 al 30 de junio. Puede realizarse presencialmente o en línea (en directo o en diferido), tiene una duración de 20 horas y será eminentemente práctico. La investigación en Humanidades Digitales no ha dejado de crecer en los últimos años y son cada vez más los proyectos de historiadores, filólogos, o antropólogos que utilizan la tecnología para el análisis de corpus literarios en busca de patrones, la construcción de mapas digitales interactivos para una mejor visualización de los resultados de sus investigaciones, o la geolocalización de enclaves a los que se añaden capas de información multimedia, entre otras muchas posibilidades. Los humanistas digitales tienen un futuro prometedor en un área en crecimiento en el que se requieren perfiles profesionales mixtos y flexibles, capaces de organizar y etiquetar objetos digitales; así como gestionar su visualización y preservación en un entorno digital. Sin embargo, para desarrollar la investigación en esta área se ha de disponer de ciertos conocimientos técnicos tales como los que se abordan en el curso que os presentamos. El objetivo del mismo es diseñar un proyecto de humanidades digitales, desde el modelado del dominio hasta la creación de resultados y su diseminación, haciendo uso de lenguajes de programación, técnicas de modelado y visualización provenientes del mundo de la inteligencia artificial. Comenzaremos con una aproximación al mundo de las Humanidades Digitales y las problemáticas que surgen para el análisis de textos. Después, nos acercaremos a las metodologías y técnicas para resolver esos problemas mediante el modelado semántico y la perspectiva de los datos enlazados y lenguajes de marcas. Asimismo, se presentarán nuevos paradigmas computacionales relacionados con la Inteligencia Artificial como el procesamiento de textos, la estilometría, el deep learning, etc., y su aplicación. Para finalizar, se representarán los resultados obtenidos. Podéis obtener más información sobre el mismo y matricularos en este enlace.<https://www.fundacion.uned.es/actividad/idactividad/24581> Un cordial saludo Beatriz Tejada Carrasco Subdirectora de Planificación, Calidad y Comunicación Biblioteca UNED C/ Paseo de la senda del rey, 5 28040 Madrid Teléfono: 91 398 61 67 email: btejada(a)pas.uned.es AVISO LEGAL.

magazén - new issue (consolidation) & CfP (reconstruction)
by Franz FISCHER 09 Jul '21

09 Jul '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 digital medievalists, Two announcements about magazén, International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities (new issue on 'consolidation' and CfP on 'reconstructions'): 1) magazén - new issues out on 'consolidation' The Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) gladly announces the publication of the first issue of the second volume of magazén, International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities, available freely online at: http://doi.org/10.30687/mag/2724-3923/2021/03.

Enjoy reading! 2) magazén - call for abstracts on '[re]constructions' magazén, the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, launched an international Call for Papers for its next volume entitled “[re]constructions”. The 2022 volume shall devote two semestral issues of the journal to to the theories and practice of [re]configuring lost realities, [re]creating long gone dimensions, [re]building likely scenarios, [re]considering exhibition settings and [re]covering disappeared traces of historical and cultural value. Abstract submission: September 15, 2021 Abstract acceptance: October 15, 2021 Articles submission: February 15, 2022 (issue 1) or July 15, 2022 (issue 2) Prospective publication: June 2022 (issue 1) and December 2022 (issue 2) See the full CfP below and soon at: https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/it/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/info For questions please get in contact with the editors: magazen(a)unive.it<mailto:magazen@unive.it> On behalf of the editorial board Franz Fischer -- Call for Papers – Volume 2022 – “[re]constructions” magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (unive.it/vedph<http://unive.it/vedph>) Department of Humanities, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities magazén is the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) based at the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice undergoing double blind peer review and published twice per year in digital copy and html version in open access by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari<https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/en/edizioni4/>. The VeDPH is founded upon an initiative of excellence that aims at stimulating an interdisciplinary methodological discourse to serve as the basis for the collaborative development of durable, reusable, shared resources for research and learning in the field of digital and public humanities. Its disciplinary domains include Digital Textual Scholarship, Digital and Public Art History, Digital and Public History, Digital Cultural Heritage and Digital and Public Archaeology. Call for Papers | Volume 2022: [re]constructions magazén is accepting proposals to its 2022 volume entitled “[re]constructions”, which shall devote two semestral issues of the journal (June and December) to the theory and practice of [re]configuring lost realities, [re]creating long gone dimensions, [re]building likely scenarios, [re]considering exhibition settings and [re]covering disappeared traces of historical and cultural value. Indeed, over the last decade the principle of [re]construction by means of scholarly expertise set the pace of many recent research projects in the prosperous field of digital and public humanities. Particularly digital tools and interdisciplinary collaborations provided the opportunity to [re]compose varied sources and [re]visualise research data, such as to offer unprecedented insights in historical, societal, cultural, artistic, archaeological, and political events. Evolving research technologies and consolidated methodological approaches in the digital and public humanities allowed scholars to test their analytical abilities against a set of novel possibilities to make their results public, immersive, and virtually appreciated. In this regard, digital and public humanities lay at the crossroads of the kind of speculation, intuition, and invention that comes with every act of scholarly [re]construction, seen as a creative task steered by scientific rigour. A true symbol of this attitude are the square brackets, which stand as a visual sign and signifier of the “gap-filling” and “meaning-making” tasks humanists always aim to accomplish in their research work. In a sense, digital and public humanists have the privilege of [re]framing their disciplines in various ways, such as: filling the gap of missing text fragments and traditions, retracing the dynamics of historical processes and events, retrieving dispersed artworks and collections, reconstructing lost archaeological sites and artefacts. Eventually, magazén’s volume 2022 will draw particular attention to the public aspects of such endeavours, given that successful [re]constructions hold firm to the principle of research dissemination and audience involvement from their very inception, rather than having public access just as a late side-effect of scholarly work. Hence, for its 2022 volume magazén is set to examine in two semestral issues the concept of “[re]constructions” as a procedural and constitutional peculiarity of digital and public humanities. Scholars are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the examination of particular case studies from the heterogeneous domains of Digital Textual Scholarship, Digital and Public History, Digital and Public Archaeology, Digital and Public Art History, GLAM studies. Submissions | Abstracts and guidelines For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please send the provisional title, the abstract of no more than 200 words together with a short biographical note. All materials should be sent by September 15, 2022 via email (subject: “magazen 2022 – Call for Papers”) to the editorial board at the following address: magazen(a)unive.it<mailto:magazen@unive.it>. Notice of selection will be given to authors within four weeks from the submission deadline. Finalised contributions are expected to be 6.000–9.000 words long (notes and bibliography included) and will undergo double blind peer review. Accepted languages are Italian and English, though all texts must have an English abstract and stick to the editorial guidelines of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari<https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/media/pdf/pubblicare-con-noi/ecf_norme_e…>. Texts that should not comply with editorial guidelines or that the editors should deem linguistically inappropriate won’t be accepted. Please note that the journal does not offer language proof-reading services to the authors, who must also secure all copyright permissions (reproduction costs included) for images and other media. The deadline for all accepted articles is February 15, 2022, for issue 1 and July 15, 2022, for issue 2.
