Digital Classicist Seminars (London, 2011)
(Apologies for cross-posting. Please circulate widely--we welcome
proposals from students as well as established researchers.)
Call for Presentations
The Digital Classicist will once more be running a series of seminars in
Summer 2011, on the subject of research into the ancient world that has
an innovative digital component. Themes could include, but are by no
means limited to, visualization, information and data linking, digital
textual and linguistic studies, and geographic information and network
analysis; so long as the content is likely to be of interest both to
classicists/ancient historians/archaeologists and information
scientists/digital humanists, and would be considered serious research
in at least one of those fields.
The seminars run on Friday afternoons (16:30 - 19:00) from June to
mid-August in Senate House, London, and are hosted by the Institute of
Classical Studies (University of London). In previous years collected
papers from the DC WiP seminars have been published in an online special
issue of Digital Medievalist, a printed volume from Ashgate Press, a
BICS supplement (in production), and the last three years have been
released as audio podcasts. We have had expressions of interest in
further print volumes from more than one publisher.
We have a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within
the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international
presenters to attend, so please enquire).
Please send a 300-500 word abstract to gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk by April
15th, 2011. We shall announce the full programme at the end of April.

The study of medieval legal documents (charters, deeds, instruments ...)
makes increasingly use of digital tools. The massive growth of documents
online - as images, as calendars, as texts - and the attempts made to
analyze and discuss diplomatics in the web has motivated us to organize
a second international conference on "Digital Diplomatics". It will take
place in Naples 29.9.-1.10.2011 and we are looking for proposals. You
can find the full presentation of the conference at
http://www.cei.lmu.de/digdipl11/
We would like to encourage in particular young scholars and graduate
students to present their ideas and projects on using the new
technologies for studying old documents. Travel grants will be provided.
We are looking forward to hear from you
for the organization comitee

Dear Colleagues,
today, we are pleased to present you the nineth TextGrid Newsletter:
http://www.textgrid.de/en/newsletter.html
In June 2011 TextGrid is going to present a stable Version 1.0 which is
intended to be productively used in research projects. In this context we
will organize the TextGrid-Tage 2011 (TextGrid Days) at Göttingen on 12/13
July, where lectures, tutorials and workshops will take place.
The newsletter addresses the following topics:
* Roadmap for Version 1.0
* TextGrid-Tage on 12/13 July, 2011
* Press Kit with Interviews
The joint project TextGrid aims to support access to and exchange of data in
the arts and humanities by means of modern information technology (the
grid). 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.
This newsletter is a joint effort of all TextGrid partners. You can
subscribe to it on the TextGrid website
(http://www.textgrid.de/en/newsletter/subscribe.html). This page also
contains an archive of past newsletters
(http://www.textgrid.de/en/newsletter/archive.html).
Yours Sincerely,
