Call For Papers

Call For Papers: Pensamiento decolonial, historiografía latinoamericana y milenarismo El plazo para la recepción de propuestas está abierto hasta el 10 de abril. X COLOQUIO INTERNACIONAL TRADICIÓN Y MODERNIDADEN EL MUNDO IBEROAMERICANO XIV CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL NUESTRO PATRIMONIO COMÚN Cádiz, del 2 al 5 de septiembre de 2014 SIMPOSIO 18. Pensamiento decolonial, historiografía latinoamericana y milenarismo Coord.: Israel Sanmartín Barros (Universidad de Santiago de Compostela). Mail: israel.sanmartin(a)usc.es Mediante este panel queremos reflexionar sobre las relaciones entre colonización, capitalismo y modernidad. El entendimiento de estas tres ideas en conjunto ha llevado al desarrollo en los últimos años del llamado pensamiento decolonial (Anibal Quijano, Enrique Dussel, Claudio Canaparo o Walter Mignolo), que pretende pensar a América Latina desde sí misma. En otro sentido, el milenarismo, entendido como utopía social, es una de las creencias claves en la búsqueda de la propia colonización de América. Sus orígenes, sus vínculos con Europa y su desarrollo posterior serán temas bienvenidos en este panel. Todo, en conjunto, nos permitirá reflexionar sobre la idea de América Latina más allá de su representación cartográfica y también sobre cómo influyen todos estos debates en la configuración de una historiografía descolonizada. Por tanto, este panel acogerá trabajos vinculados a todo el debate relativo al pensamiento decolonial y su crítica; a los conceptos que conforman ese debate (capitalismo, colonización, modernidad, milenarismo) y a la propia reflexión sobre la oportunidad de crear un nuevo entendimiento de América Latina a partir de los últimos avances de la historiografía latinoamericana.

TEI Hackathon DH2014 workshop (7 July 2014)
by James Cummings 25 Mar '14

25 Mar '14

FYI === With apologies for the cross posting and with a request to please forward along to other lists and groups. Call for Participation We are inviting applications to participate in the TEI Hackathon full day workshop that will be held on July 7, 2014, as a pre-conference session at DH2014 (http://dh2014.org/). Digital humanists, librarians, publishers, and many others use the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines to mark up electronic texts, and over time have created a critical mass of XML — some conforming to known subsets of the TEI Guidelines, some to individual customizations; in some cases intricate and dense, in others lean and expedient; some enriched with extensive external metadata, others with details marked explicitly in the text. The fruits of this labor are most often destined for display online or on paper (!), indexing, and more rarely, visualisation. Techniques of processing this markup beyond display and indexing are less well-understood and not accessible to the broad community of users, however, and programmers sometimes regard TEI XML as over-complex and hard to process. What We’ll Do The goal of the hackathon is to make significant progress on a few projects during one day of work (from 9am to roughly 5.30pm). Possible projects might include but are not limited to: * applying visualisation to TEI documents or schemas/ODDs (e.g. visualizing the TEI conceptual model) * mining a large corpus of texts for some data facet and visualising the results * rendering complex markup in an innovative and playful way * writing input or output filters for existing bits of software * extending existing TEI software to take advantage of external resources such as Zotero * adding a TEI mode to a web editor * Programming for multilingual resources All participants will begin discussing the projects that have been proposed before the hackathon, and select a small number to be worked on. More concrete discussion about tools and specs will take place before the date of the hackathon so participants can hit the ground running during the hackathon. On the day of the hackathon, participants will form groups, and work on their projects. Workshop organizers and invited experts will be on hand to consult on TEI details and strategies of dealing with them. The organisers will provide refreshments during the day, will make sample texts available if needed, and will help with software setup where possible. Participants will need to bring their own laptop computers Participants This workshop is intended for reasonably experienced DH practitioners, who may not hitherto have experimented with TEI XML, as well as those who have already been using TEI and developing TEI tools. If you don’t fall into either of these categories, but you have a project that is appropriate for the hackathon, please apply or contact us directly. Application process Applicants will email their application with the following information to hackathon(a)tei-c.org. Name Affiliation Contact information (email) Skills and experience (to help select projects) One or two suggested projects. These don’t have to be described in great detail, as they will be discussed and shaped further in June. Deadline: Midnight (EST) April 17 (applications received after this date will be considered on a rolling basis only if space remains available) Notification: by April 30 The selection will be carried out by the programme committee based on variety of expertise, interest in challenges with broad application, geographical and gender balance. Organizers and Experts Please don’t hesitate to contact the organizers if you have any questions. Programme committee: Hugh Cayless (hugh.cayless(a)duke.edu), TEI Technical Council - Research programmer for the Duke Collaboratory for Classics Computing Arianna Ciula (ariananciula(a)roehampton.ac.uk), TEI Board of Directors - Research Facilitator (Humanities) at the University of Roehampton James Cummings (james.cummings(a)it.ox.ac.uk), TEI Technical Council (chair) - Senior Digital Research Specialist in Academic IT at University of Oxford’s IT Services Elli Mylonas (elli.mylonas(a)brown.edu), TEI Technical Council - Senior Digital Humanities Librarian at Brown University Sebastian Rahtz (sebastian.rahtz(a)it.ox.ac.uk), TEI Technical Council - Director of Academic IT at University of Oxford’s IT Services Other TEI and DH experts participating: Syd Bauman, Senior XML programmer analyst at Northeastern University Digital Scholarship Group Alexander Czmiel, researcher in Digital Humanities at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities Follow up Participants will have the option of applying for a grant of up to $1000 from the Text Encoding Initiative Consortium to allow them to finish their work and make it available to others. Details for this competition will be provided after the workshop has taken place. This workshop is being sponsored by the TEI Consortium ( http://www.tei-c.org/) which will provide lunch, coffee and snacks. Thank you, --elli

Microfilm Digitization Inquiry: File format and resolution recommendations?
by Michelson, David Allen 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Dear Colleagues, I was recently asked by a colleague about standards for digitizing microfilm of medieval MSS. Does anyone on this list have a recommendation as to what the optimal file format and resolution would be for digitizing black and white microfilm? (I am, perhaps naively, assuming that because the source image is a b/w microfilm that there is a certain resolution limit after which point higher resolution would be of no value since the original image is limited). Any advice? Thank you, DM David A.

CeRch Seminar: Clotho: Network Analysis and Distant Reading on Perseus Latin Corpus
by kcl - cerch 18 Mar '14

18 Mar '14

Dear all, Apologies for cross-posting. Please find below the details of next week's CeRch seminar: Date: Tuesday, 25th March 2014, from 6.15pm to 7.30pm (GMT) Location: Anatomy Museum Space, 6th Floor, King's College London (Strand Campus) http://www.kcl.ac.uk/campuslife/campuses/strand/Strand.aspx Attendance is free and open to all, but registration is requested: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cerch-seminar-clotho-sentiment-analysis-and-di… The seminar will be followed by wine and nibbles. All the best, Valentina Asciutti ? Abstract: Clotho is born from a simple need: doing distant reading on a Latin corpus. Why should we do distant reading? We can see many reasons including word sense induction, sentiment analysis, network analysis which were the one we were looking for. Through we think sentiment analysis stricto sensu is not possible in Latin, we aim to provide a way to do that quantitatively through context and network analysis. This does not replace the meme of conventional scholarship; where an expert reader parses a text and pronounces on the nature of its sentiment. Rather, we think that the proper nature of the Latin exemplum and auctoritas is liable to support interpretation by polarizing words according to their strict meaning(s). The Clotho project is divided in two tools. The first one is based on python software, which enables the distant reading of the corpus and the export of its results. The other is a PHP platform which enables a team or a crowd to annotate and clean the results. Both are relatively easy to install and fully open source so new functionalities of wide application can be added. For this project, there have been two outputs: - the first one is Cicero's Network which has been realised with an earlier version of Clotho's Python interface - the second one is Lasciva Roma, a project which will be launched during the seminar, whose aim is to annotate the Latin semantic field of sexuality. Speakers: Anthony Glaise Former MA student at Paris-IV Sorbonne, preparing Agr?gation's exams at Paris IV-Sorbonne and at Ecole Normale Sup?rieure. Anthony worked on the Greek Christian literature of the 4th century and more precisely on anti-Judaic works by John Chrysostom. Thibault Clerice Research Developer at the Center for e-Research, Kings College London, and MA student at the Ecole des Chartes ( Paris ). Thibault's works focus on both crowd-sourcing and Ancient Rome genders and sexuality. His current MA Thesis topic tries to enlighten the possibilities of digital methods in Latin onomastics and anthropology.
