4th Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies--This Weekend!!
by Lynn Ransom 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Registration is open for the 4th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age: Writing the East: History and New Technologies in the Study of Asian Manuscript Traditions, to be held October 21-22, 2011 at the University of Pennsylvania and the Free Library of Philadelphia. This year, our focus is on medieval and early modern Asian manuscript traditions. Together with Justin McDaniel, University of Pennsylvania professor of Religious Studies, Penn Libraries are pleased to present a distinguished panel of speakers who will explore a range of issues relating to Asian reading and writing cultures, especially as they pertain to manuscripts from the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian traditions. An addition to the program this year is the Friday afternoon workshop: Bringing Out the Best from Your Collections: Ask the Experts!, to be held Friday, October 21, 2-5 pm, at the Free Library of Philadelphia (Parkway Central Library, 1901 Vine St, Philadelphia, PA, Room 108). This workshop is geared especially toward librarians and curators who oversee collections of Asian manuscript material but is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about caring for and interpreting these fascinating and often little understood objects. For more information on the symposium and workshop and for registration, go to http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium4.html . You may also contact me at anytime for further information or with questions. Best, Lynn ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Project Manager, Lawrence J.

Information about the conference venue Hamburg on the river Elbe has about 1.8 million inhabitants within the city limits, making the old Hanseatic merchant city Germany's second largest metropolis. Hamburg is characterized by its port, its international orientation and a cosmopolitan flair. The University of Hamburg was founded in 1919. Today the Faculty of the Humanities is home to over 10,000 students. Since its inception Hamburg University has maintained a strong focus on foreign languages and cultures. To foster and to explore such diversity is a key task of the Humanities - and to provide theories, methods and tools to this end poses a particularly interesting challenge to the Digital Humanities. We hope you will join in the discussion on "Digital Diversity" at the DH2012 and look forward to seeing you in Hamburg! VI.

Call For Papers: Vagantes 2012
by Dot Porter 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

For any graduate students on the list... = = = Call for Papers *Vagantes 2012* March 29-31 Indiana University, Bloomington Vagantes is the largest conference in North America for graduate students studying the Middle Ages, and aims to provide an open dialogue among junior scholars from all fields of medieval studies. This year’s conference will feature keynote speakers Shannon Gayk (Associate Professor of English, Indiana University) and Professor Jordan L. Zweck (Assistant Professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Madison). They will be joined by at least twenty-four student presenters and an audience of approximately 100 people. Vagantes emphasizes interdisciplinary scholarship; each year, presenters from backgrounds as varied as Comparative Literature, Archaeology, Art History, Classics, History, Anthropology, English, Philosophy, Manuscript Studies, Musicology, and Religious Studies come together to exchange ideas. In this manner, Vagantes fosters a sense of community for junior medievalists of diverse backgrounds, and because the conference does not have a registration fee, this community can flourish within the margins of a graduate student budget. Abstracts for twenty-minute papers are welcome from graduate students on all topics considering the Middle Ages. In keeping with the mission of Vagantes to advance interdisciplinary studies, we invite submissions in areas including but not limited to history, literature, art history, philosophy, religious studies, and musicology. Vagantes is sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America. Please email a brief vitae and abstract of no more than 300 words by October 25, 2011 to: Diane Fruchtman dsfrucht(a)indiana.edu For more information, find us on the web at www.vagantesconference.org.

Seminar: Digital Humanities Centers and the New Humanities
by Stuart Dunn 30 Sep '11

30 Sep '11

With apologies for cross-postings. Digital Humanities Centers and the New Humanities Wednesday 5 October 2011, 18:00 Anatomy Theatre & Museum, King's College London (for directions see http://atm.kcl.ac.uk/location) Neil Fraistat, University of Maryland In association with arts-humanities.net What is the function of the digital humanities center within a rapidly changing humanities landscape? Although they have a great capacity for focusing, maximizing, and networking local knowledge, local resources, and local communities of practice, digital humanities centers are also at risk of being silos, overly focused on their home institutions, rarely collaborating with other centers, and unable to address by themselves the larger problems of the field. They also siphon off grant funding from schools unable to afford a digital humanities center of their own and can make it harder for scholars at such places to participate in the larger projects that help to shape the possibilities and future of the field. Are digital humanties centers crucial to the future of the field, or deleterious to it? Or to point the question more finely: in what ways and under what circumstances might digital humanities centers be seen as more crucial to the field than deleterious? I'll be discussing these issues especially in terms of the centerNet initiative, which seeks to create a truly global network of local digital humanities centers. About the speaker Neil Fraistat is Professor of English and Director of the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) at the University of Maryland. He is a founder and general editor of the Romantic Circles Website, the Co-Chair of centerNet (an international network of digital humanities centers), and he has published widely on the subjects of Romanticism, Textual Studies, and Digital Humanities in various articles and in the eight books he has authored or edited. Fraistat has engaged in projects involving the preservation of virtual worlds and born digital creative works; the development of the Open Annotation Collaboration framework for sharing annotations of digital content across the World Wide Web; and the building of international cyberinfrastructure. He currently serves on the advisory boards of Project Bamboo, CLARIN, D-SPIN, NINES, INKE, Project MUSE, and CHAIN, a coalition of humanities and arts infrastructures and networks that includes DARIAH, Project Bamboo, CLARIN, ADHO, and centerNet. Fraistat has been awarded the Society for Textual Scholarship's biennial Fredson Bowers Memorial Prize, the Keats-Shelley Association Prize, honorable mention for the Modern Language Association's biennial Distinguished Scholarly Edition Prize, and the Keats-Shelly Association's Distinguished Scholar Award.

In 2006 development began on a web-based platform, one which will provide services and tools for researchers for analysis of text data in various digital archives - independently of data format, location and software. TextGrid serves as a virtual research environment for philologists, linguists, musicologists and art historians. As a single point of entry to the virtual research environment, TextGridLab provides integrated access to specialized tools, services and content. TextGridRep is a long-term archive for research data in the humanities embedded in a grid infrastructure, which will ensure availability and access to its research data as well as interoperability. The joint research project TextGrid is part of the D-Grid initiative, and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) for the period starting June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2012. *Résumé* : Le projet TextGrid vise à faciliter l'accès et l'échange de données pour les lettres, les sciences humaines et les sciences sociales en s'appuyant sur les moyens offerts par les technologies de l'information (grille). En 2006 a débuté le développement d'une plateforme web qui propose aux chercheurs des services et des outils pour l'analyse de données textuelle provenant de différentes archives numériques, indépendamment de leur format et de leur localisation. TextGrid est conçu comme un environnement de travail virtuel pour les philologues, linguistes, musicologues et historiens de l'art. Le point d'entrée unique dans cet environnement virtuel de recherche, TextGridLab, propose un accès unifié à des outils, services et contenus spécialisés. TexGridRep est un service d'archivage pérenne pour les données de la recherche en lettres, sciences humaines et sciences sociales, basé sur une infrastructure de grille qui assurera acces et interoperabilité aux données de la recherche. Le projet TextGrid fait partie de l'initiative D-Grid, financé par le Ministère Fédéral Allemand de l'Education et de la Recherche, pour la période allant du 1er juin 2009 au 31 mai 2012. *** Conférence ouverte à tous et suivie d'un temps d'échange convivial autour d'un verre. *Inscription souhaitée - contact : *claire.giguet(a)ish-lyon.cnrs.fr <mailto:claire.giguet@ish-lyon.cnrs.fr> -- Marjorie BURGHART EHESS (pôle de Lyon) / UMR 5648 Histoire et Archéologie des Mondes Chrétiens et Musulmans Médiévaux 18 quai Claude Bernard 69007 Lyon - FRANCE
