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, Please distribute widely among your students. Best, BB The Canterbury Tales Project (https://www.canterburytalesproject.org/) is seeking curious and enthusiastic graduate students for funded research positions at the MA and Ph.D. levels. If you are interested in Chaucer, Middle English literature, manuscript culture, early print, textual scholarship, Humanities Data or the Digital Humanities, we are interested in hearing from you. We can also consider other proposals related to our work. The Canterbury Tales Project is a long-standing digital editorial project with almost 30 years of history leading in the development of editions and innovative methods for research and delivery. In February 2020, the project published the CantApp: General Prologue, which has been downloaded more than 70.000 times since its release. The CTP also defines the cutting edge of textual research: we use an integrated digital editing platform (Textual Communities) and bioinformatics software to study and analyze the textual tradition of the Tales. Although the project’s main aim is to reach a better understanding of the textual tradition of the Canterbury Tales, we also seek to discover and implement better ways of delivering complex information. The project was recently awarded a five-year $330,000 Insight Grant by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and is associate with several other recently funded projects in Digital Humanities at the University of Lethbridge, the University of Calgary and the University of Saskatchewan. This allows us to offer funding for Ph.D. and MA candidates to work with us at the University of Lethbridge and the possibility of co-supervision arrangements through the University of Calgary and/or the University of Saskatchewan). What we want: We seek students interested in researching combined aspects of the Canterbury Tales, manuscript studies, digital research methods, digital humanities and Open Science. You are a curious and enthusiastic research student who will take an active role in the project while carrying out your individual line of research. You want to work as part of a team and contribute to the lab’s research environment. You believe in open science and open data published under FAIR principles. Your interests might be: Chaucer Middle English Literature Manuscript Culture Early Printed Books Textual Scholarship Open Data Digital Humanities… ...but we are open to considering other proposals. We will be particularly interested in discussing ideas beyond traditional textual criticism and attuned to areas of research expanding the canon and conventional views of the text of Chaucer. If you have an innovative critical approach, we want to hear from you. What we offer: We are offering funding for a Ph.D. or M.A. within a lively and diverse working environment. You will learn from peers and project leaders in the framework of our lab, where you can learn about all aspects of the project and its management while sharing in the lab’s collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment. Our project works closely with several other well-funded Digital Humanities and Open Science projects at the University including work on Indigenous languages, Scholarly Communication, and Open Data. The University has a number of innovative cross-disciplinary programmes, including Cultural, Social, and Political Thought (which takes an interdisciplinary approach to problems in the Humanities and Social Sciences) and a new Data Sciences programme, which is developing an approach that will span the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities.

Leveraging non-named entities in Coptic antiquity (Seminar)

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. (Late antique/early Mediaeval material discussed in the following seminar…) Digital Classicist London Seminar Friday September 10, 2021, 17:00 (UK time/UTC+1) Amir Zeldes (Georgetown), Caroline Schroeder (Oklahoma), Lance Martin (CUA) Leveraging non-named entities in Coptic antiquity Streamed live at https://youtu.be/Web8vaAbx-M In this paper we present the latest work on large scale, semi-automatic and quantitative analysis of the body of entities mentioned in texts from Coptic Antiquity. Unlike Greek and Roman materials, which have been studied extensively, digital treatment of Coptic data from the first millennium has lagged behind until recently, in part due to the smaller research community and the morphological complexity of the language, which is fusional and features agglutination, compounding and incorporation of nouns into complex verbs. We show how annotating named and non-named entities enriches Coptic corpora, including the identification of nested entities and entity linking. We will focus especially on non-named Coptic entities, which are of great interest to scholars working on monasticism and asceticism, since many central texts revolve around unnamed protagonists (e.g. ‘an ascetic’) in unidentified locations (‘a monastery’). In many cases, the proportion of named entities is well below 5%. The relevance of entity annotation is further demonstrated through visualizations of Coptic entities, which enable researchers to access a variety of information in Coptic corpora through distant reading, allowing them to explore easily types of places in different works, to get lists of nouns referring to organizations, events or animals, examine feminine vs. masculine nouns denoting people and more. From a comparative quantitative perspective, the prevalence of non-named entities of different types can also reveal dissimilarities between texts.

Call for Papers reminder, magazén 2022 (deadline September 15)

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, please find below a reminder of the call for papers (deadline 15th September) of the 2022 number volume of Journal "magazén" (with apologies for cross-posting). All best, Paolo --- https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/en/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/info <https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/en/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/info> Deadlines Abstract Submission – September 15, 2021 Abstract acceptance – October 15, 2021 Articles Submission – Febrauary 15, 2022 (issue 1) or July 15, 2022 (issue 2) Prospective publication – June 2022 (issue 1) and December 2022 (issue 2) Call for Papers | 2022 Topic: [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. For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please write an abstract of no more than 200 words together with a short biographical note and the provisional title of the paper. All materials should be sent by September 15, 2021 via email (subject: “magazén 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 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’ <https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/media/pdf/pubblicare-con-noi/ecf_norme_e…> of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Texts that should not comply with editorial guidelines will not be accepted. Please note that the author must 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. Final publication of the first issue is planned by June 2022, while the second issue will be due in December 2022. For further details please contact the editorial board (magazen(a)unive.it <mailto:magazen@unive.it>). -- ________________________________________________________ Le informazioni contenute in questo messaggio di posta elettronica sono strettamente riservate e indirizzate esclusivamente al destinatario.

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 DM community, I am very glad to let you know that we at the Innovating Knowledge<http://innovatingknowledge.nl/> project (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) just released a digital edition of the glosses to the first book of the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. This digital edition makes use of network visualizations to display the relationships between the manuscript witnesses, to map these relationships against the geographical background, and to showcase how the glosses are distributed across the text. All in all, the edition contains approximately 4,280 glosses as found in more than 50 early medieval manuscripts, including vernacular, Tironian and dry-point glosses. You can find the edition at: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/edition Together with the edition, we are also publishing the raw data<https://innovatingknowledge.nl/?page_id=104> behind the edition in a hope that they can be further reused by other projects. The TEI-XML file, the XML schema, and the software code of the edition are also published<https://github.com/HuygensING/isidore-glosses> today in a dedicated GitHub repository. I am also very glad that the data from the edition was also published on our partner project, the GlossEngine<http://www.glossing.org/glossengine/collections.php>. I hope that many of you will find this edition useful and inspiring. Best wishes, Evina Evina Steinova https://homomodernus.net/ https://evinasteinova.academia.edu/ Postdoctoral Researcher NWO VENI project Innovating Knowledge<http://innovatingknowledge.nl> Huygens ING, Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, Amsterdam
