Visualization tool supporting the embedded transcription method
by Roberto Rosselli Del Turco 01 Dec '14

Hi all, we've just released EVT 0.1.62 with experimental support for the embedded transcription method. A sample edition collecting miscellaneous examples (including those presented in the Guidelines) is available here: http://vbd.humnet.unipi.it/evt-et/ and a blog post describing EVT changes is here: http://visualizationtechnology.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/tei-embedded-transc… while the EVT code with all of above is as usual available on Sourceforge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/evt-project/ We'd appreciate feedback and suggestions on how to improve it (and of course other EVT features), as written in the blog post we weren't sure of how to interpret some of the possible use cases. Seeing TEI XML from the point of view of a tool developer, for once, was an eye opening experience! Last, but definitely not least, let me thank the EADH "small grants" program which made this expansion of EVT's features possible.

new study: "Diagnosis of a ŒPlague¹ Image: A Digital Cautionary Tale²
by Monica Green 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

Dear DM-L Colleagues, I and two colleagues have just published a study correcting a “misdiagnosed” plague image from the 14th century: Monica H. Green, Kathleen Walker-Meikle, and Wolfgang Müller, “Diagnosis of a ‘Plague’ Image: A Digital Cautionary Tale,” in Pandemic Disease in the Medieval World: Rethinking the Black Death, inaugural issue of The Medieval Globe 1 (Fall 2014), 309-26, available open-access at: http://scholarworks.wmich.edu/medieval_globe/1/. (Open-access funding was underwritten in this case by the World History Center at the University of Pittsburgh.) I’m sending notification to this list because this study may have implications for the wider Digital Medievalist community. What we argue is that a mistaken label was attached to an image being sold in the British Library’s “Images Online” database (where high-quality images are sold for a fee): the BL labels it “Plague victims blessed by priest." As far as we were able to determine, the misinformation originated with the staff of the BL and did not come from earlier scholarly misinterpretations. We argue that in fact it is clearly an image of leprosy—a “reading” of the image supported both by medieval iconographic traditions and, more importantly, by the text which surrounds the image in its original manuscript context. (We provide a full edition and translation of the Latin text in our study.) The British Library has been apprised of our study, and they responded that they do intend to alter the meta-data attached to the image in their databases. I assume that also means that they will cease to market it as a “plague” image. (Images Online is the fee-based distribution office of the BL; the image is also available, at a lower resolution, in the BL Illuminated Manuscripts catalogue, where it is under a CC0 license.) Even if they correct the metadata, however, there is no way to “take back” all the incorrect uses of the image, given how widely it has already been disseminated into popular culture with the mistaken interpretation. (Most recently, in the BBC’s History magazine, October 2014, p. 90.) I am not a coder myself and have only a user’s appreciation of the technical side of Digital Humanities. Still, given that metadata might well be seen as having a comparable value to the medieval texts and images we are concerned to digitize and/or analyze digitally, I thought this might be a case that people might find instructive. Please feel free to contact me directly (monica.green(a)asu.edu) should you have any further questions about the image or our study. -- Monica Green Professor of History School of Historical, Philosophical, and Religious Studies Box 874302 975 S Myrtle Ave Arizona State University Tempe, AZ 85287-4302 U.S.A. monica.green(a)asu.edu<mailto:monica.green@asu.edu> http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/01/science/leprosy-still-claiming-victims.ht… Pandemic Disease in the Medieval World: Rethinking the Black Death - inaugural issue of The Medieval Globe (published 21 November 2014) http://scholarworks.wmich.edu/medieval_globe/1/ https://asu.academia.edu/MonicaHGreen https://webapp4.asu.edu/directory/person/384868

Call for paper: Digital Humanities: the example of Antiquity
by Pierazzo, Elena 28 Nov '14

28 Nov '14

With the usual apologies for cross-posting (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 elena.pierazzo(a)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 elena.pierazzo(a)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

Fwd: ESSAY: on becoming a classics professor

Probably more directed to the digital classicists, but I'm not on that list, and with not much change, much of this would apply to medievalists too. -Sara -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: ESSAY: on becoming a classics professor Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2014 09:34:32 +0000 From: Clark, Stephen <srlclark(a)LIVERPOOL.AC.UK> Reply-To: Clark, Stephen <srlclark(a)LIVERPOOL.AC.UK> To: PHILOS-L(a)LIVERPOOL.AC.UK ________________________________________ Via: humanist-bounces(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org [humanist-bounces(a)lists.digitalhumanities.org] on behalf of Humanist Discussion Group [willard.mccarty(a)mccarty.org.uk] Sent: 21 November 2014 07:45 Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 14:30:45 +0100 From: Gregory Crane <gregory.crane(a)tufts.edu> Subject: Essay: "So you want to become a professor of Greek and/or Latin?" For what its worth: it is the time of year when people apply for PhD programs in Classics (and everything else). I wrote this essay because I think that the Digital Humanities have now reached a point where anyone who wants to start a Classics career now (and thus would, if just out of college, be looking at a career that could run through 2060) really needs to come to grips with the "digital turn". I don't know of any PhD program for Greek and Latin that really addresses the challenges that we face as we reinvent our field to flourish in the digital world of which we are all already a part. (I am hoping to be buried with counter-examples!) Gregory Crane* So you want to become a professor Greek and/or Latin? Think hard about a PhD in Digital Humanities. Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Digital Humanities Universität Leipzig Professor of Classics Winnick Family Chair of Technology and Entrepreneurship Tufts University I decided to write this piece because this is the time of year when those who wish to become professional students of Greek and Latin are deciding where they should apply for graduate schools. I am now starting to see that the most interesting Phd projects on Greek and Latin are taking place in PhD programs for the Digital Humanities and I think that anyone who wishes to develop a career of sustained satisfaction needs to think carefully about how they move forward. At the present time, I am not aware of any traditional program in Greek and Latin that prepares students for satisfying and sustainable careers. This essay falls into three parts. First I suggest some words of caution, including the well-known challenges about actually landing a permanent faculty position, the amount of work that you will need to commit if you want to maximize your chances for success and then, more substantively, something about the actual work that supports faculty Greek and Latin faculty positions in the United States and (much of) Europe. The second section briefly touches upon some fundamental topics that we must resolve if we are to rethink the study of Greek and Latin (as I think we must if we are to survive, or perhaps even flourish): the information that we produce, the knowledge that we internalize, the values that we advance and the basis for the survival of our field. The third section describes some topics that you will probably not find in a standard program for Greek and Latin but that would greatly enhance your ability to develop a sustainable career.
