CFP Kalamazoo 2014 (SEENET session)
by Jim Knowles 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

CALL FOR PROPOSALS: 49th International Congress on Medieval Studies Kalamazoo, Michigan, May 8-11, 2014 Session title: Medieval Texts and Digital Editions: Obstacles and Opportunities Session sponsor: Society for Early English and Norse Electronic Texts (SEENET) and the Piers Plowman Electronic Archive Session organizer: Jim Knowles (jrknowle(a)ncsu.edu) Since being founded in the mid 1990s, SEENET has published a total of ten electronic editions of medieval English texts and/or manuscripts and two reference works, including editions of Piers Plowman, William of Palerne, The Destruction of Troy, and Caedmon’s Hymn. These editions were published on CD-ROM in conjunction with the University of Michigan, the Medieval Academy of America, and Boydell and Brewer. Both SEENET and the Piers Plowman Electronic Archive (PPEA), a branch of SEENET that accounts for seven of the twelve publications to date, are in the process of migrating to the web. At this juncture, SEENET seeks not only to migrate past content to an online environment, but also to launch a large-scale initiative to present online scholarly editions of as many important literary works in Old English, Middle English, and Old Norse as possible. But SEENET is only one of many such projects aimed at revolutionizing the way scholarly editions are created and used. This proliferation of digital and digitized editions of medieval texts available online poses new questions about the forms, uses, and scholarly objectives of critical texts. For this session at Kalamazoo, we invite scholars and editors engaged in digital text projects to discuss new work in any of the following areas: editorial theory and practice in digital environments; intellectual, technical, and institutional challenges posed by born-digital textual projects (along with proposed solutions); and interpretive work on medieval literature that is made possible by the availability of digital text corpora. Please send a one-page paper proposal, the Congress Participant Information Form, and any AV requirements by email to Jim Knowles (jrknowle(a)ncsu.edu) by SEPTEMBER 15, 2013.

Kalamazoo 2014 CfP

Passing this along: Call for Papers for Kalamazoo 2014, sponsored by Stanford Center for Medieval & Modern Studies & sponsored by the English Association: CFP #1: 'Millennium: The Year 1014' This session will feature three papers by speakers focusing on a single Medieval year, 1014CE. This year in history proves surprisingly fulcral (Wulfstan's Sermo Lupi ad Anglos in 1014 and the exile of Aethelred; the crowning of the Holy Roman Emperor; the victories of the Byzantine armies, for example). Depending on the papers, the focus on this specific year will illustrate how historical moments can throw our sources, genres, and disciplinary methods into sharp relief. CFP #2: 'The Manuscript in the Digital Age' This session will address the profoundly significant issue of the display of medieval manuscript materials through online repositories and how this distant viewing affects participants' understanding of what they're seeing. This session will devote itself to the topic of interpretation: how repositories and manuscript projects can best set about addressing the gap between the digital and the 'real'; how tools can be utilised to render all aspects of the book or document visible to the viewer, through description or more transparent metadata.The aims of the session will be to highlight critical methodological and conceptual frameworks and make suggestions for the best way forward in our brave new digital world. Send abstracts by September 1st to Elaine Treharne, treharne(a)stanford.edu -- Michael Widner Ph.D. candidate, Department of English The University of Texas at Austin PAR 108, Mailcode B5000 Austin, TX 78712 512.916.9330

Digital Classicist seminar: 'Insights in the World of Thucydides: The Hellespont Project as a research environment for Digital History'
by Tupman, Charlotte 07 Aug '13

07 Aug '13

Digital Classicist London & Institute of Classical Studies Seminar 2013 Friday August 9 at 16:30 in room G37, Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU Agnes Thomas, Francesco Mambrini & Matteo Romanello (DAI, Berlin), 'Insights in the World of Thucydides: The Hellespont Project as a research environment for Digital History' ALL WELCOME The Hellespont Project aims to integrate two of the largest online collections for the study of Antiquity, the Perseus Digital Library and the Arachne archaeological database, in a dynamic digital research environment. Our case study is focused on a limited historical period, the 50 years in the history of Athens between the Persian Wars and the outburst of the Peloponnesian War (431 BCE), following the narration presented by Thucydides (1.89-118). Our goal is to create a “digital sourcebook” where the different sources (texts and images) are linked and enriched with linguistic, archaeological and historical annotation. The seminar will be followed by wine and refreshments. For more information please contact Gabriel.Bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:Gabriel.Bodard@kcl.ac.uk>, Stuart.Dunn(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:Stuart.Dunn@kcl.ac.uk>, S.Mahony(a)ucl.ac.uk<mailto:S.Mahony@ucl.ac.uk> or Charlotte.Tupman(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:Charlotte.Tupman@kcl.ac.uk>, or see the seminar website at <http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2013.html> -- Dr. Charlotte Tupman Project Research Associate & Study Abroad Tutor Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 7145

Call for Papers: Kalamazoo 2014

Call for Papers 49th International Congress on Medieval Studies Western Michigan University 8th-11th May 2014, Kalamazoo, MI Dear all, The DigiPal team (digipal.eu<http://digipal.eu/>) are delighted to invite submissions for the following sessions: "Digital Methods: Anglo-Saxon Manuscript Studies" "Digital Methods: Reading between the Lines of Medieval Manuscripts" To submit an abstract: read the session descriptions below, decide which session suits you best, and then send an abstract of a couple of hundred words or so (we won't count them, but try not to overdo it) to us by 15th September 2013: digipal(a)kcl.ac.uk<mailto:digipal@kcl.ac.uk> And if you fill in a Participant Information Form, and send that too, we'd be very grateful. You can find the PIF here: http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions/index.html#PIF Oh, and if for some curious reason we *don't* accept your abstract, never fear: any proposals we don't include will be sent to the Congress committee for consideration for general sessions. Looking forward to reading your abstract, Stewart --------------------------------------- SESSION DESCRIPTIONS ---------------------------------------- "Digital Methods: Anglo-Saxon Manuscript Studies" The aim of the papers in this session is to consider what twenty-first century technology might offer us in the study of the handwriting of the scribes who were producing charters, homilies, farming memoranda and other aspects of the written culture of Anglo-Saxon England. Utilising computer-based resources for the study of medieval handwriting, the papers will investigate the development of letter forms; the influence of scriptoria and the politics of writing style; the significance of scribal choices such as vernacular script in preference to, or alongside, Caroline letter forms; and whether text type can be said to determine the style of writing. "Digital Methods: Reading between the Lines of Medieval Manuscripts" Glosses and marginalia in Old English manuscripts have been understudied, with nineteenth century editions often being relied upon in the absence of more recent work. In this session, the papers will ask whether the development of methodologies based in digital technologies affords us the opportunity to produce new work and new discoveries in this area. Areas explored will include the study and detection of scratched glosses; the handwriting of the Old English glosses to the Lindisfarne and Rushworth Gospels; the relationship between so-called main text and writings in the margins; the hierarchy of scripts for glossing and annotation; and producing new edited texts. -- Dr Stewart J Brookes Research Associate Department of Digital Humanities King's College London
