VeDPH seminars: Performing Hybrid Spaces: Art, Media and Ludic Practices

14 Sep '22

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, there will be the first seminar (in presence and online) of the new VeDPH seminar series in Digital and Public Humanities will start on on September 21st at 5 p.m. CEST with Paolo Berti (Ca' Foscari University): 'Performing Hybrid Spaces: Art, Media and Ludic Practices'. The seminar will deal with artistic trends in new media, digital cultures and geospatial technologies. One can attend this and the next seminars both in presence and online. Please find the abstract below and feel free to circulate widely. Link for subscription (for online attendance): https://bit.ly/3q28uJD Details on the whole series: https://www.unive.it/data/33113/2/63440 Details on this seminar: https://www.unive.it/data/33113/2/64036 Abstract: By the end of the last century, the cultural impact of the first mobile devices and ubiquitous computing led to the expansion of a specific media ecology marked by a hybrid condition, where the body's performativity presented itself as an unprecedented approach to the cyber world. There are many actors involved: companies, service platforms, governments, hacker communities, and last but not least, artists who (as often has been the case in the history of New Media Art) underpin technical shifts, finding an exceptionally active role in the establishment of terminology and the shaping of the aesthetic-technological landscape. From this comes an interesting interdependency with the mobile business and telecommunication companies, which in turn are looking for imaginative paths to establish themselves in the just emerging field of handheld applications. A productive exercise in which the video game industry will also claim its own identity, amidst totally artistic figurations or more horizontal collective explorations, where augmented reality, network systems, and technologically advanced psychogeographic memories enter the commercial domain and then flow back into creativity.

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Hello, all, I wanted to let you know about an ICMS session on the future of manuscript studies (blended, paper session). Possible topics include: the digital humanities, new theoretical approaches, and interdisciplinary initiatives. The International Christine de Pizan Society—North American Branch will sponsor *two* sessions at Kalamazoo ICMS 2023 (11-13 May), including: Session 1: The Future of Manuscript Studies: Honoring the Legacy of Angus J. Kennedy and Liliane Dulac (paper session, blended format) Sponsored by: The International Christine de Pizan Society—North American Branch This look toward the future of manuscript studies will emphasize the enduring impact of two of the most prolific, pioneering, and respected scholars in the field of Christine studies, both of whom were lost during a period of just under six months in 2021–2022. Areas of potential interest for this session include, among others, the digital humanities, new theoretical approaches, and interdisciplinary initiatives. We seek to explore new horizons in manuscript studies that will honor, in any number of ways, the pioneering work of Angus J. Kennedy and Liliane Dulac. Please consider submitting a proposal!

SIMS Online Lecture_Dot Porter and Lisa Fagin Davis
by Ransom, Lynn 18 Aug '22

18 Aug '22

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear friends and colleagues, The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies is excited to announce the first lecture in this fall's SIMS Online Lecture Series. We kick off with the dynamic rock star duo, Dot Porter and Lisa Fagin Davis. See details below. Friday, September 16, 2022, 12:00 - 1:30 pm EDT Medieval Rolls in a Digital Environment Dot Porter, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies, Penn Libraries, and Lisa Fagin Davis, Medieval Academy of America Medieval rolls are notoriously difficult to display and publish. Digital publishing tends to focus on codex books, and to function at the level of the turning page. The physical format of rolls - membranes of parchment stitched together to form a long and narrow strip, which could be dozens of feet long - defies these expectations; other options are needed to effectively edit and publish medieval rolls in a way that respects their physical format and doesn't force them into a framework designed for books. Digital Mappa (DM) is one of these options. Originally designed for the editing of medieval maps of the world, DM centers the image and enables the annotation and linking of both images and text. DM is particularly useful for the editing of rolls, as the two examples in this lecture will illustrate. In this lecture, Dr Lisa Fagin Davis, professor of practice in manuscript studies at the Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science and executive director of the Medieval Academy of America, will present on the Digital Chronique 2.0, a DM edition of the Chronique Anonyme Universelle, a lavishly illustrated scroll history of the world from Creation to the fifteenth century. Dot Porter, SIMS founding member and Curator of Digital Research Services, will present on Ms. Roll 1066: Genealogical Chronicle of the Kings of England to Edward IV, circa 1461, originally published online in 2012 and republished in DM earlier this year.

****SPAM**** Call for Projects - Transcription Challenge Framework (TCF)
by Laura Morreale 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Transcription Challenge Framework (TCF) CALL FOR PROJECTS<https://tcf.lauramorreale.com/call-for-projects/> Research Cycle 2023-2024 Do you have a relatively brief but problematic medieval source or text that exists in multiple copies, but has never received the kind of scholarly attention it warrants? Are you interested in examining and discussing your chosen source with a team of highly motivated researchers, who will work for a short but intense period to render versions of your source in machine-readable format? Would you like to learn how to use and apply collaborative digital methodologies in our increasingly virtual scholarly environment? The newly-established Transcription Challenge Framework (TCF), a scholar-run initiative supported by FromThePage<https://fromthepage.com/> and Stanford University Libraries<http://library.stanford.edu/>, is accepting proposals to host individual Transcription Challenges for its 2023-2024 TCF research-cycle season. The most appropriate texts for a Transcription Challenge are relatively short, totalling between 1200 and 2000 lines. Thus, a short book, or a book section from a longer treatise, are ideal candidates to submit to the Transcription Challenge. For every Challenge, multiple 10-person transcriber teams, led by two captains each, will devote their time and expertise over a two-week period to transcribe one copy of a text or source, in competition with other teams participating in the Challenge at the same moment. At the end of the Challenge session, several versions of the same source, rendered in machine-readable format, will be produced to very high editorial standards, ready for future scholarly use, and will be sent to a panel of subject-area specialist who will judge all the submissions according to the speed, accuracy, and collaborative nature of the transcription effort. Judges will announce a winning submission from among the participating teams. Two challenges are anticipated, scheduled between January and October 2023. Scholars whose proposals are accepted will benefit from the experience gained in past transcription events, have access to digital space to support the Challenge while it is ongoing, and a platform to house and publicize the scholarly output created before, during and after the two-week Challenge period. Past transcription events have proved wildly popular and productive for former participants, and have provided training and real outcomes within the new research environment. For more information on the Transcription Challenge Framework, its history, goals, and outcomes, please see the TCF Website<https://tcf.lauramorreale.com/history-basics-rationale>. To apply, please submit the following by October 1, 2022. 1. A 200-word abstract of the project that includes the chosen source and an explanation of why scholars would benefit from a transcription of its multiple copies; 2. A list of digitized copies of the manuscript, preferably in IIIF format (feel free to inquire if this format is unfamiliar to you); 3. A statement of who will act as Challenge Coordinator with contact information (email address, phone number, institutional affiliation if applicable), and a provisional list of who might serve as team captains; 4. All projects that are based on a campus or institution should include, when possible, the name of an affiliated Digital Humanities specialist (usually located in a library or Digital Humanities or Digital Scholarship center) who should be informed of the project as it progresses; 5. A preliminary bibliography of the source in question (5-10 items). Submissions should be sent by 12 midnight EST on October 1, 2022 to the TCF Advisory Board TCFramework(a)gmail.com<mailto:TCFramework@gmail.com> -- Laura K.

****SPAM**** A digital survey of early medieval manuscripts transmitting the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville
by Evina Steinova 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear DM community, We at the Innovating Knowledge project<https://innovatingknowledge.nl/> (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) have just released an updated version (v2.3.1) of our database of early medieval manuscripts transmitting the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville. In April last year, we presented a beta version containing 461 manuscripts - now we can update this number to 492 manuscripts (and counting!). We hope that we will be able to beat the magic boundary of 500 codices soon. The database is accessible at: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/. You can read more about the criteria for the inclusions of manuscripts, database's sources, functionality and plans at: https://innovatingknowledge.nl/?page_id=33. We are particularly glad that most of the included manuscripts (375 to be more precise) have been digitized. The database has an integrated Mirador viewer that allows you to access, compare and work with approximately 300 manuscripts with IIIF manifests directly via its interface (just click on the IIIF logo under the manuscript image). We hope that we will be able to add more digitized manuscripts and manuscripts with IIIF manifests in the future to make this database a digital manuscript library as well. For those who may be interested in reusing the data collected by the project, we are also releasing the complete datasheet underlying the database at our project's outputs page: https://innovatingknowledge.nl/?page_id=40. We hope you will find this resource useful for your research and an inspiration for your own digital projects. We are still in a short grace period, so if you note particularly nasty bugs (some of which we are aware of and currently fixing, like incorrect display of & in manuscript shelfmarks), errors, typos, or you think information could be added (such as to recent publications of yours on one or more of the featured manuscripts), we will be glad to hear from you.

magazén - Call for Abstracts on "Relations"
by Franz FISCHER 22 Jul '22

22 Jul '22

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities Dear digital medievalists, The call for abstracts is now open for the 2023 volume of magazén which shall devote two semestral issues to the concept of ‘relations’ and how these relations are implemented, operationalised and analysed as interdependencies, links, and connections in practices of Digital and Public Humanities scholarship. The first deadline will be on September 30, 2022 for the abstract submission. Please find the call and all details below and at the following link: https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/it/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/info#call On behalf of the editorial team Franz Fischer -- Deadlines Abstract submission – September 30, 2022 Abstract acceptance – October 31, 2022 Articles submission – February 15, 2023 (issue 1) or July 15, 2023 (issue 2) Prospective publication – June 2023 (issue 1) and December 2023 (issue 2) Call for Papers | 2023 Topic: Relations magazén is accepting proposals to its 2023 volume, which shall devote two semestral issues of the Journal (June and December) to the concept of ‘relations’ and how these relations are implemented, operationalised and analysed as interdependencies, links, and connections in practices of Digital and Public Humanities scholarship. Be it through the construction of simple relational databases or by means of complex correlations of data, materials, immaterial aspects, and publics, the interdisciplinary field of Digital and Public Humanities truly strives on building relationships. Far from shutting themselves up in a lonesome ivory tower, scholars in this domain are prone to bridging experiences between different disciplines, interconnecting with diverse audiences for research and dissemination purposes, and linking computational models to cultural manifestations. Relations maintain a very humanistic character, as they form the immaterial structure onto which human societies are based. Indeed, transferred into a technological setting, the principle of relationship-building can be found as the core feature of interconnected data, authority files, user-centred design, usability, user-experience, audience interaction, and many more aspects that became an integral part of Digital and Public Humanities. The very act of building relations or putting things into relationship – be they technology and culture, scholars and audiences, data and materials – thus form the backbone of scholarly projects that came to define this research field. In Digital Textual Scholarship scholars can see the text as a hub, whose relations point in many directions. They can explore, formalise, visualise, and process its connections with paratexts, other texts, physical documents, places, people, concepts as well as with readers. In Digital and Public History it is possible to establish connections between sources, events, place, dates, or people, through a database, a network analysis map, or more generally the semantic web. In Public History also the relationship between the research and its public is crucial: the active or passive participation of the audience can affect questions, methodology and research outcomes in many different ways. Relations between archaeological contexts and spaces are key factors to decipher and investigate stratigraphic sequences and past landscapes in virtual reconstructions (i.e. extended matrix approach, archeoBIM, etc.) and GIS studies (i.e. viewshed analysis, least-cost path analysis, etc.). At the same time, the integration of different remote sensing techniques and expertises often provide significant results. In Digital and Public Art History subjects may address the connection between GLAM studies and the creative industries sector as well as the artistic productions, considering: the relation between public space and art historical environment, including different techniques of virtual reconstruction (3D modelling, gaming, VR360), the implementation of digital collections adopting the IIIF framework (iconography, diagnosis, descriptions), and multimedia solutions for data collection and accessibility. The implication of digital technologies in the preservation, management and interpretation of historical, cultural, and archaeological contexts is a way to make knowledge more accessible for different audiences. The engagement of society in participatory ways highlights the importance of creating dialogue, cohesion, identity, and sustainable development. Hence, for its 2023 volume magazén is set to examine in two semestral issues the concept of “Relations” as an intrinsic characteristic of Digital and Public Humanities. Scholars are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the examination of particular case studies from the heterogeneous domains of Digital and Public History, Art History, Archaeology, Cultural Heritage and Textual Scholarship. Eventually, magazén’s volume 2023 will draw particular attention to the public aspects of such endeavours, given that successful research projects hold firm to the principle of audience involvement from their very inception, rather than having public interaction just as a late side-effect of scholarly work. For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please send the provisional title, the abstract between 250-500 words together with a short biographical note and a possibly also provisional bibliography. The abstract should address the following questions: What kind of materials and humanistic research questions are concerned? What digital/public methods are employed and how do they tackle the research aims? If the prospective paper addresses a case study or a particular project, authors should please state whether it has been completed and already made available to the research community. All materials should be sent by September 30, 2022, via the submission portal on the editorial platform of our academic publisher Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Notice of selection will be given to authors within four weeks from the submission deadline. Finalised contributions are expected to be 6,000-9,000 words long (notes and bibliography included) and will undergo double blind peer review. Accepted languages are Italian and English, though all texts must have an English abstract and stick to the ‘Editorial Guidelines’ of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Texts that should not comply with editorial guidelines or that the editors should deem linguistically inappropriate won’t be accepted. Please note that the journal does not offer language proof-reading services to the authors, who must also secure all copyright permissions (reproduction costs included) for images and other media. The deadline for all accepted articles is February 15, 2023, for issue 1 and July 15, 2023, for issue 2. Final publication of the first issue is planned by June 2023, while the second issue will be due in December 2023.
