CfP: Workshop "Expressing and Performing Emotions" (Voces 2023. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words)
by Section de Lexicographie 26 May '23

26 May '23

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 2023. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words: Expressing and Performing Emotions Workshop – 5th October 2023 — Paris https://glossaria.eu/voces_2023/ 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 2023. Expressing and Performing Emotions In recent years, medieval emotions have become the subject of intense research (Boquet and Nagy 2015). A number of studies showed that they were not the domain of a purely individual experience, but instead they were deeply influenced by the emotive styles, norms and conventions that were adopted in different communities (Rosenwein 2006). Attitudes towards the expression of emotions in the social sphere should also be seen in their historical dynamics, as they are a reflection of the constantly evolving relationship between individuals, society and its institutions (Nagy 2000). Although voices calling for a more systematic analysis have been heard for years, we are still far from having a comprehensive account of how emotions were linguistically expressed and conceptualised in the Middle Ages (Rosenwein 2008). This may come as a surprise, given that current linguistics offers both a rich theoretical reflection and a rigorous descriptive framework, as well as a wealth of in-depth studies of terms and concepts related to emotions.

Suggested topics We invite papers that discuss both single words or concepts and entire lexical fields or conceptual domains. Particularly welcome are interdisciplinary contributions that combine linguistic and historical (sociological, anthropological etc.) analysis, or provide cross-cultural and cross-linguistic perspective. * Expressing and talking about emotions in the Middle Ages: private and public affects; authenticity and convention; theorizing about emotions * Emotion words: Latin vs. vernacular terms; Biblical emotions in translation; affects and metaphor; universality of medieval emotions; culture-determined expressions * Theories and methods (how to research medieval emotions?): emotional turn in Medieval Studies; cognitive linguistics and medieval emotions; 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 Submission Guidelines We welcome two forms of submissions: * Long papers (20 minutes, 10 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 (10 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. Conference languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish. Abstracts should be submitted via EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=voces2023) by 20 June 2023 (23:59 CEST): * long papers: up to 500 words (without references) * short papers: up to 250 words (without references) Submissions should clearly state the paper topic, briefly discuss existing research and explain why the analysis of the suggested term or field is important to our understanding of medieval culture.

Le Moyen Âge latin à travers ses mots-clés : Émotions et représentations Journée d'étude - 5 octobre 2023 - Paris https://glossaria.eu/voces_2023/ Le cycle de conférences Voces. Le Moyen Âge latin 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. Voces 2023. Émotions et représentations Ces dernières années, les émotions médiévales ont fait l’objet d’intenses recherches (Boquet et Nagy 2015). Un certain nombre d’études ont montré qu’elles ne relevaient pas seulement d’une expérience individuelle, mais qu’elles étaient profondément influencées par les styles, les normes et les conventions des différentes communautés (Rosenwein 2006). Les réactions suscitées par l’expression publique des émotions doivent également être considérées dans leur dynamique historique, car elles sont le reflet de l’évolution constante de la relation entre les individus, la société et ses institutions (Nagy 2000). Si des voix s’élèvent depuis longtemps pour réclamer une analyse plus systématique, nous sommes encore loin de disposer d’un état des lieux exhaustif de la manière dont les émotions étaient exprimées et conceptualisées au Moyen Âge (Rosenwein 2008). Cela peut surprendre, quand la linguistique actuelle dispose à la fois d’une riche réflexion théorique et d’un cadre descriptif rigoureux, ainsi que d’une multitude d’études approfondies sur les termes et les concepts liés aux émotions. Orientations bibliographiques * Boquet, Damien, et Nagy, Piroska. 2015. Sensible Moyen Âge : Histoire des émotions dans l’Occident Médiéval. Le Seuil. * Nagy, Piroska. 2000.

Thèmes suggérés Nous invitons les auteurs à présenter des communications portant à la fois sur des mots ou des concepts isolés, et sur des champs lexicaux ou des domaines conceptuels entiers. Les contributions interdisciplinaires, combinant l’analyse linguistique et historique, sociologique, anthropologique, ou offrant une perspective interculturelle et interlinguistique, sont particulièrement appréciées. * Exprimer et parler des émotions au Moyen Âge : affects privés ou publics ; authenticité et convention ; théorie des émotions * Les mots de l’émotion : termes latins vs. vernaculaires ; traduire les émotions bibliques ; affect et métaphore ; l’universalité des émotions médiévales ; les expressions déterminées par la culture * Théories et méthodes (comment étudier les émotions médiévales ?) : le « tournant émotionnel » dans les études médiévales ; la linguistique cognitive et les émotions médiévales ; vocabulaire latin et catégories de la pensée médiévale (un simple lien ?) ; emprunts lexicaux et changements sémantiques (nouveaux mots, nouveaux mondes ?) ; le latin médiéval et les individus (cognition, expérience, émotions) ; savoir scientifique vs. populaire Modalités de soumission Deux types de contributions sont proposés : * les communications longues (20 min. + 10 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) ; * les communications courtes (10 min. + 5 min. de discussion), plus limitées dans leur portée, mettent en avant les liens entre le vocabulaire ou la conceptualisation et la réalité socioculturelle du Moyen Âge. Soumettre une proposition Langues de la conférence : allemand, anglais, castillan, français, italien. Les soumissions seront déposées jusqu’au 20/06/2023 à minuit sur : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=voces2023 * communications longues : max. 500 mots (hors références) * communications courtes : max. 250 mots (hors 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.

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, [Apologies for Crossposting] I would like to invite you to register for participation in the following event: **New Approaches for Extracting Heterogeneous Reference Data** Hybrid Workshop, 15/16 May 2023 The programme is online, registration is open, and everyone is welcome to join online: https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/workshop-2023/programme/ Rationale: Extracting heterogeneous references from texts, in particular from historical documents and humanities or legal scholarship is an unresolved problem. We want to gather scholars and practitioners from the social sciences, the humanities and the informational and computational disciplines to define the problem(s), establish the state of the art and share resources. The overarching aim of the event is to find ways for jointly developing new tools and workflows which are able to unlock previously untapped reference/citation data in the humanities, law and the social sciences. A particular focus lies on newly emerging technologies that are based on (pre-trained) language models. Registration is possible at https://plan.events.mpg.de/e/data Presentations will be recorded and will be made available after the event. (You are welcome to register just to be notified about it.) We hope to see many of you there, Best wishes, on behalf of the conference organisers, Andreas Wagner -- Dr. Andreas Wagner Digital Humanities Coordinator Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory Frankfurt/Main, Germany

01 May '23

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. Hi everyone, I'm teaching two courses this summer, one in person in Philadelphia and another online only. If you're looking for summer workshop opportunities please take a look. The courses aren't the same although there is some overlap. 1. Digital Surrogates for DREAM Lab (in person, Philadelphia, June 5-8) Digital Surrogates asks participants to learn about the process of creating digital copies of physical objects with attention to issues of representation, engagement, and meaning. Beginning with the question “What does it mean to digitize an object?” participants will be asked to consider the responsibilities of a digitization project as it is related to paid and unpaid labor, the ethics of working with digital material, and how decisions about technical standards and platforms can facilitate or limit future use of digitized materials. Framed via critical readings, participants will be asked to consider their learning within their own individual and institutional values and support systems. Students in the course will participate through lectures, tours, readings, hands-on project development, and group discussion. Class events will include a tour of the University of Pennsylvania’s SCETI digitization lab, and discussions with experts from UPenn working on the digitization pipeline including photographers, cataloguers, infrastructure specialists, and front-end developers. Specific tools and approaches covered in the class in 2023 will include: * Minimal Computing: https://go-dh.github.io/mincomp/ * International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF): https://iiif.io/ * Digital Mappa (DM): https://www.digitalmappa.org/ Tuition: Before May 19, non student: $500 USD. Before May 19, student: $400 USD For more information and to register: https://web.sas.upenn.edu/dream-lab/ 2. Using Digitized Manuscripts (online, July 24-28) Over the past 20 years, the number of medieval and renaissance manuscripts that have been digitized has expanded dramatically. What opportunities does this widespread digitization make possible? In this class, students will learn about the process of digitization, focusing on photography and touching on other methods for making manuscripts available through digitization. We will learn and experiment with various tools for working with digitized manuscripts. Finally, we will discuss both the promise and the limitations of digitization. Over the course of the week, students will have the opportunity to apply new knowledge to a digitized manuscript of their choice and share their progress and results with the class. The course will combine lectures, tours, readings, hands-on project development, and group discussion. Students should come to class with a digitized manuscript they wish to work with and should have access to images and a description of the manuscript. Applicants’ personal statements should include a description of the manuscript and a discussion of what kind of project they are interested in undertaking with the manuscript. Tuition: $1000 USD For more information and to register: https://rarebookschool.org/ Please email me with any questions!
