* Apologies for cross-posting * Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (MMSDA) - DiXiT Camp 1 28 April – 2 May 2014, Cambridge & London We are very pleased to announce the fifth year of this course, funded by the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT), and run by DiXiT with the Institute of English Studies (London), the University of Cambridge, the Warburg Institute, and King’s College London. For the first time, the course will run in two parallel strands: one on medieval and the other on modern manuscripts. The course is open to any arts and humanities doctoral students working with manuscripts. It involves five days of intensive training on the analysis, description and editing of medieval or modern manuscripts to be held jointly in Cambridge and London. Participants will receive a solid theoretical foundation and hands-on experience in cataloguing and editing manuscripts for both print and digital formats. The first half of the course involves morning classes and then afternoon visits to libraries in Cambridge and London. Participants will view original manuscripts and gain practical experience in applying the morning’s themes to concrete examples. In the second half we will address the cataloguing and description of manuscripts in a digital format with particular emphasis on the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). These sessions will also combine theoretical principles and practical experience and include supervised work on computers. The course is free of charge but is open only to doctoral students (PhD or equivalent). It is aimed at those writing dissertations relating to medieval or modern manuscripts, especially those working on literature, art or history. Some bursaries will be available for travel and accommodation. There are eighteen vacancies across the medieval and modern strands, and preference will be given to those considered by the selection panel likely to benefit most from the course. Applications close on 14 February 2014 but early registration is strongly recommended.

Can you help us? dm-l has been having trouble with or membership list...
by Daniel O'Donnell 16 Jan '14

Hi all, As you may or may not have heard, the University of Lethbridge's mailing lists have been under what seems to have been intended as a sustain DoS attack (actually its not clear what the point of the attack was other than to be annoying): tens of subscription requests a minute from a limited number of addresses to all publicly available pages. The result is that list administrators have been overwhelmed by noise from their subscription pages (I just trashed 2k requests from the last few days). Lost in that noise have almost certainly been some real requests. Indeed, when I just checked now (the DoS seems to have calmed down), the majority of requests looked legitimate: real email addresses and real names that seemed to match the email addresses in the names boxes. If you know somebody who tried to join dm-l in the last two months, or if you recommended to somebody that they join dm-l in that time, could you check with them to see if they were ignored or rejected (you get an email when you are subscribed). And if they were, ask them to try resubscribing? The URL is here: http://listserv.uleth.ca/mailman/listinfo/dm-l Because it isn't 100% clear that the problem has stopped (our IT department is supposed to be working on installing a captcha to prevent automatic signups but hasn't done it yet), they should bother me personally if they can't get on this time. Thanks and apologies for this inconvenience. -dan -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

Seminars are held fortnightly on Tuesdays during term time at 6.15pm (unless otherwise stated) in the Anatomy Museum, on the 6th floor, King's College London, Strand Campus. Seminars are followed by drinks and nibbles. The first seminar of this series is next week, on Tuesday 21st January, with Paolo Gerbaudo speaking on "Info-viz and political activism". More details and abstract below. Also below, is the full programme for this term, with further details at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/groups/cerch/research/seminars/2013-14.aspx. <http://www.kcl.ac.uk/innovation/groups/cerch/research/seminars/2013-14.aspx.> All the best, Valentina Asciutti 21st Jan: Info-viz and political activism. Paolo Gerbaudo (King's College London) Abstract: Info-visualisation is a practice that has been widely utilised in contemporary digital culture, in order to get to grips with the complex patterns emerging from huge sets of data. Among the different categories utilising info-viz, including programmers, marketers, financial analysts, security personnel, and government advisors, also activists have found in info-viz a powerful visual language to get to grips with the complexity of social grievances and economic problems in a highly complex and globalised world. In my presentation I will look at the political positioning of info-visualisation as a radical political language in collectives such as Bureau d-Etudes and RTMark, as well as drawing on my own work infondoalmar.info. I will discuss the extent to which info-viz can constitute a platform for radical politics, and look at some possible lines of future development of these practices. Speaker bio: Paolo Gerbaudo (1979) is lecturer in Digital Culture and Society at King's College London. He has worked as a reporter for the Italian Left newspaper Il Manifesto and has been involved in anti-corporate, global justice and ecologist campaigns. His current research focuses on the use of new media and social media by social movements and emerging digital parties. He is the author of Tweets and the Streets (2012), a book analysing social media activism in the popular protest wave of 2011, from the Arab Spring, to the indignados and Occupy Wall Street. He has a PhD from Goldsmiths College, where he worked under the supervision of Professor Nick Couldry. He has previously taught at Middlesex University and the American University in Cairo. He is currently the convenor of the Digital Culture and Political Protest module at King's College London. The event is free of charge but registration is required.
