Fwd: CFP: Did You Read That? Art Editing on the Web (New York, 11-15 Feb 2015)

------ Original Message ------ Received: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 06:19:40 AM EDT From: "H-ArtHist (Elsje van Kessel)" <vankessel(a)ARTHIST.NET> To: H-ARTHIST(a)H-NET.MSU.EDU Subject: CFP: Did You Read That? Art Editing on the Web (New York, 11-15 Feb 2015) From: Christopher Howard <chris(a)christopher-howard.net> Date: Jun 26, 2014 Subject: CFP: Did You Read That? Art Editing on the Web (New York, 11-15 Feb 2015) New York, CAA Annual Conference, February 11 - 14, 2015 Deadline: Jul 31, 2014 Sponsored by the Association of Art Editors, the session "Did You Read That? Art Editing on the Web" will explore the current state of art editing on the web. Panelists will discuss the varying levels of work and practices involved in editing texts for publication online, from the mechanical and technical aspects (research, fact checking, making corrections after publishing) to larger conceptual and ethical matters (changing attitudes toward quality). Writers and editors today have access to a wide range of resources—from Google searches and Wikipedia to JSTOR and Oxford Art Online—that were unavailable (and even unimaginable) twenty or thirty years ago. How has the advent of such resources affected the editorial process? This session, whose format will be a roundtable conversation, with the chair serving as an active interviewer rather than a passive moderator, will focus on specific examples and case studies rather than on generalizations and abstractions. Speakers, who may include authors, critics, editors, or publishers, will address personal and academic websites, online versions of printed publications, born-digital journals, and blogs; they may also consider the training of younger writers, critics, historians, and editors. The chair seeks four participants for the session. Speakers are not required to present a paper prepared in advance, although a brief presentation of five to ten minutes can be accommodated. Please send a letter of interest, a CV, and your area(s) of professional interest and expertise to Christopher Howard at chris(a)christopher-howard.net. Deadline: July 31, 2014.

Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series and Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum (seminar)
by Gabriel Bodard 25 Jun '14

Digital Classicist London & Institute of Classical Studies Seminar 2014 Friday June 27 at 16:30 in room G37, Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU Monica Berti, Greta Franzini & Simona Stoyanova (Leipzig) The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series and Digital Fragmenta Historicorum Graecorum Projects ALL WELCOME The Leipzig Open Fragmentary Texts Series (LOFTS) is a new collaborative project that seeks to create open electronic editions of ancient works that survive only through quotations and text re-uses in later texts. The large diversity and dispersion of these materials entreats a dynamic infrastructure which fully supports and represents the relationships between sources, citations and annotations. LOFTS links fragments to the source text from which they are drawn, and aligns them to multiple editions and translations, thus providing an enhanced understanding of the fragmentary textual heritage it showcases. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments.

New article in Digital Medievalist
by Malte Rehbein 24 Jun '14

24 Jun '14

Dear all, A new article has been published in Digital Medievalist Journal 9: Tarrin Wills, Semantic linking of the Pre-Christian Religions of the North (http://digitalmedievalist.org/journal/9/wills/). Abstract: The Sources strand of the Pre-Christian Religions of the North project aims to bring together and document the primary evidence for the early religions of Northern Europe. In order to be useful for researchers these sources must include metadata or semantic links that can connect them to concepts relevant to the study of religions. This paper outlines ways in which some very different source types, including textual sources, place-names, pictures and figurines, can be incorporated into a single resource. The aim is to both facilitate analysis and to separate documentary processes from interpretative ones. This structure has been tested using a web interface for both searching and data entry. Some possibilities for representing the visual and spatial data associated with the proposed resource are also demonstrated. Enjoy reading!

New resource: Enigma - Unpuzzling difficult Latin readings in medieval manuscripts
by Udo Kindermann 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Madame, Thank you for your quick response. When reading >characters< in your directions for the use of >Enigma<, I had in mind ascii characters and things of that sort (that include blanks, e.g.). Now I see that in >Enigma< dots stand for letters. But when seeking, e.g., >sic ut<; >simul ac< or >pro dolor<, I can obviously do it by putting an asterisk instead of a dot for a blank (sic*ut; simul*ac; pro*dolor). As a Medieval Latinist, I am glad to find yronia, karitas, nichil (not so aecclesia, michi, Ihesus, coelum, which are >possible Latin forms< in medieval manuscripts). Your tool runs very fast. Thank you again for putting it online. Best, Udo Kindermann Dr Udo Kindermann Professor emerit. of Medieval Latin University at Cologne 50923 Köln Germany
