Digital Classicist London 2015 call for papers
by Simon Mahony 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

The Digital Classicist London seminars provide a forum for research into the ancient world that employs innovative digital and interdisciplinary methods. The seminars are held on Friday afternoons from June to mid-August in the Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London, WC1E 7HU. We are seeking contributions from students as well as established researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers discussing individual projects and their immediate contexts, but also wish to accommodate the broader theoretical considerations of the use of digital methods in the study of the ancient world, including ancient cultures beyond the classical Mediterranean. You should expect a mixed audience of classicists, philologists, historians, archaeologists, information scientists and digital humanists, and take particular care to cater for the presence of graduate students in the audience. There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend). To submit a proposal for consideration, email an abstract of no more than 500 words to s.mahony(a)ucl.ac.uk <mailto:s.mahony@ucl.ac.uk> by midnight GMT on March 8th, 2015. Further information and details of past seminars, including several peer-reviewed publications, are available at: http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/ <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/index.html> Regards Simon Mahony

by Nuno Neves 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

[Deadline Extended] International Conference: Digital Literary Studies Date: May 14-15, 2015 Location: School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra, Portugal 'Digital Literary Studies' is an international conference exploring methods, tools, objects and digital practices in the field of literary studies. The digitization of artifacts and literary practices, the adoption of computational methods for aggregating, editing and analyzing texts as well as the development of collaborative forms of research and teaching through networking and communication platforms are three dimensions of the ongoing relocation of literature and literary studies in the digital medium. The aim of this two-day conference is to contribute to the mapping of material practices and interpretative processes of literary studies in a changing media ecology. We invite researchers to submit papers and posters on projects concerned with the digital reinvention of literary studies. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: - computational literary analysis (macro analysis, data mining, distant reading, topic modelling; visualization, corpora); - digital philology (electronic editions and archives, textual databases); - computational literary creation (automatic generation of text, textual instruments, kinetic texts, locative narrative, etc.); - the teaching of literature in a digital context; - peer review and open access (new practices of collaboration, dissemination, transfer and validation of knowledge production). The ‘Digital Literary Studies’ conference will take place at the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Coimbra on May 14-15, 2015. Paper and poster proposals should be submitted by *January 31, 2015* through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=eld2015). We also welcome panel proposals (three presenters per panel). All paper proposals must be between 1500 and 2000 words (including references). Authors should provide name, contact details, and institutional affiliation, as well as title, abstract, and keywords for their paper. Authors will be notified of the peer review results by February 15, 2015. Proposals can use any of the following languages: Portuguese, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. Selected articles resulting from the conference papers will be published in a special issue of the journal MATLIT (http://iduc.uc.pt/matlit).

Last days: "Toward a new social contract between publishers and editors"
by Pierazzo, Elena 13 Jan '15

13 Jan '15

Dear All, Just a reminder that there is time until Friday to register for the symposium "Toward a new social contract between publishers and editors" 26 January 2015, Maison de Science de l’Homme – Alpes, Grenoble NeDiMAH, the Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities, is delighted to announce this one-day seminar, which will bring together publishers and scholarly editors in order to discuss how best to produce digital editions which are at the same time both economically viable and in keeping with scholarly standards. In the pre-digital world, publishers and editors normally collaborated: the editors would produce the edition, following the guidelines provided by the publishing house, which for its part would take care of marketing and distribution, as well as essential scholarly services such as peer review. Digital scholarly editions, on the other hand, tend to be self-published by scholars within their own universities, most often without any connection with a publishing house – an arrangement which is hardly sustainable, for various reasons, and often not available to younger researchers producing their first editions and without access to suitable funding. At the same time, publishers are increasingly engaging with the digital, in particular in connection with tablet distribution. But the majority of such eBooks are generally not up to the standards expected by the scholarly community: in many ePubs, for instance, basic features such as footnotes are a luxury – to say nothing of a proper critical apparatus. How can be we best address these issues, to the mutual benefit of all involved parties – editors, publishers and the scholarly public? Organizers: Elena Pierazzo (University “Stendhal” Grenoble 3, France) Matthew Driscoll (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Confirmed speakers: Editors Marjorie Burghart (EHSSE, Lyon, France) Caroline Macé (Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main, Germany) Hilde Bøe (Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway) Espen Ore (Oslo University, Norway) Gabriella Ravenni (University of Pisa, Italy) Manuel Portela (University of Coimbra, Portugal) Publishers Brad Schott, Brambletye Publishing Pierre-Yves Buard, Presse Universitarie de Caen Rupert Gatti, Open Books publishers, Cambridge Pierre Mounier, Open Editions If you are interested in participating, please send an email to Andrea Penso at the following address by the 16th of January: andrea.penso(a)u-grenoble3.fr<mailto:andrea.penso@u-grenoble3.fr> Registration is free but obligatory.

Reminder: Digital Humanities: the example of Antiquity CFP
by Pierazzo, Elena 11 Jan '15

11 Jan '15

Dear Colleagues, A few more days to send your abstract: deadline 15th of January “Digital Humanities: the example of Antiquity” (French version below) ================== The University ‘Stendhal’ of Grenoble 3, the Maison des Sciences de l’Homme-Alpes, L’Université Grenoble 2, the Humboldt Chair for Digital Humanities and HISOMA organise the conference “Digital Humanities: the example of Antiquity”. The conference will take place in Grenoble, from the 2nd to the 4th of September 2015. The goal of this conference is twofold: at the same time an assessment of existing methodologies and a looking forward to new ones. It also has the objective of evaluating current practices of the application of Digital Humanities to the study of antiquity, practices which are quite numerous but also sometimes disconnected from each other and without an overall understanding. The conference also aims to contribute toward the design of new projects and the opening new paths, by establishing a dialogue between scholars for whom the Digital Humanities are already familiar and those wishing to acquire knowledge and practice in this domain. The confirmed Keynote speakers are Gregory Crane (Tufts University & University of Leipzig) and Charlotte Roueché (King’s College London). The conference will be preceded by a workshop, particularly aimed at doctoral students, but open to everybody. The study of Antiquity encompass very large geographical, historical and linguistic domains: from the Mediterranean to the borders of Europe and Asia, from the end of Prehistory to the Middle Ages, and from Greek and Latin to the languages of the Near and Middle East. This study is also distributed among different disciplines: Linguistics, Philology, Literary Criticism, Philosophy, History, Archaeology, Epigraphy, Numismatics, etc. In all these disciplinary traditions, the application of computational techniques has been employed for several decades now, an application that has left quite a strong mark on the study of Antiquity. The employment of digital methods has also enabled substantial changes of methodology, the extent of which remains to be assessed. Considering the diversity of such approaches in a context of research which is more and more internationalised, it seems worthwhile to present to scholars and PhD students an overview of current research in order to develop future endeavours. The conference will be organised around four key topics: Editions of literary texts; Study of scholia and commentaries; Archaeology and Epigraphy; Prosopography and historical geography. Papers will focus on methodological questions and/or discuss general issues emerging within such topics. We also encourage proposals of posters presenting work in progress. Please send your proposals of up to 300 words, in French or English (which will be the languages of the conference) by the 15th of January 2015 to the organisers: icogitore(a)msh-alpes.fr<mailto:icogitore@msh-alpes.fr> elena.pierazzo(a)u-grenoble3.fr<mailto:elena.pierazzo@u-grenoble3.fr> NB: In order to encourage the participation of young researchers, we will provide a limited number of bursaries. If you wish to be considered for one of these then please include a letter of motivation with your application. ========================= [French version] Le colloque «Humanités numériques : l’exemple de l’Antiquité», qui aura lieu à Grenoble du 2 au 4 septembre 2015, est organisé par l’Université Grenoble 3, l’Université Grenoble 2, la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme-Alpes, The Humboldt Chair for Digital Humanities, HISOMA. L’ambition de ce colloque est double, tournée vers du bilan et des perspectives, dans une orientation méthodologique. Ainsi, il a pour objectif de faire le point sur les pratiques actuelles, déjà nombreuses, mais souvent éparses, dans le domaine des humanités numériques appliquées à l’étude de l’Antiquité. En outre, il contribuera à définir de nouveaux projets et à ouvrir des pistes nouvelles en établissant un dialogue entre des spécialistes déjà habitués au numérique et des enseignants-chercheurs désireux de développer leurs connaissances et leur pratique dans ce domaine. Les keynote speakers ayant confirmé leur participation sont Gregory Crane (Tufts University & Univ. of Leipzig) et Charlotte Roueché (King’s College London). Les deux jours de colloque proprement dit (3 et 4 septembre) seront précédés d’une journée d’ateliers destinés spécialement aux doctorants mais ouvertes aussi aux enseignants chercheurs. Les sciences de l’Antiquité embrassent un très large domaine géographique (de la Méditerranée aux confins de l’Europe et de l’Asie), historique (de la fin de la Préhistoire au début du Moyen Âge) et linguistique (principalement grec et latin, mais sans négliger les langues du Proche- et Moyen-Orient). Elles reposent également sur des traditions disciplinaires variées : linguistique, philologie, critique littéraire, philosophie, histoire, archéologie, épigraphie, numismatique, etc. Dans toutes ces traditions disciplinaires, l’application de technologies numériques a connu, depuis plusieurs décennies, un développement considérable, qui n’a pas manqué de se marquer aussi dans les sciences de l’Antiquité. Les technologies numériques ont permis des renouvellements méthodologiques, dont nous n’avons pas encore pris toute la mesure. Devant la diversité de ces approches, dans un contexte de plus en plus internationalisé, il semble intéressant de proposer aux enseignants-chercheurs et aux doctorants un tour d’horizon de la recherche actuelle, qui permettra de dégager des perspectives pour le futur. Quatre axes ont été retenus : éditions de textes littéraires ; études de scholies et commentaires ; archéologie et épigraphie ; prosopographie et géographie. Les communications devront porter sur des questions méthodologiques et/ou poser des problèmes inhérents à ces démarches. Il est également possible de proposer des posters présentant des projets en cours. Les propositions de communication ou de posters (300 mots maximum, en français ou anglais, qui seront les langues de communication du colloque) sont à adresser au comité d’organisation : icogitore(a)msh-alpes.fr<mailto:icogitore@msh-alpes.fr> elena.pierazzo(a)u-grenoble3.fr<mailto:elena.pierazzo@u-grenoble3.fr> au plus tard le 15 janvier 2015 NB : Quelques bourses sont prévues pour permettre la participation des jeunes chercheurs et doctorants. Si vous êtes intéressés par cette aide, merci de l’indiquer et d’argumenter votre demande par une lettre de motivation. -- Elena Pierazzo Professor of Italian Studies and Digital Humanities Bureau F307 Université de Grenoble 3 'Stendhal' BP 25 38040 Grenoble Cedex 9 Tel. +33 4 76828032 Visiting Senior Research Fellow King's College London Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL -- Dr Elena Pierazzo Lecturer Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London, WC2B 5RL Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 1949 elena.pierazzo(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:elena.pierazzo@kcl.ac.uk>
