07 Oct '08

Apologies for cross-posting, but please see below for details of a new training programme for graduate students in the UK. All the best, Peter Stokes Dr Peter Stokes Leverhulme Early Career Fellow Dept. of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic The University of Cambridge 9 West Rd, Cambridge, CB3 9DP Tel: +44 1223 767314 Fax: +44 1223 335092 -- Medieval Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age: 16–21 February 2009 The Institute of English Studies (London) is pleased to announce a new AHRC-funded course in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, the Warburg Institute, and King's College London. The course involves six days of intensive training on the analysis, description and editing of medieval manuscripts in the digital age 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 three days involve morning classes and then visits to libraries in Cambridge and London in the afternoons. Participants will view original manuscripts and gain practical experience in applying the morning's themes to concrete examples. The final three days focus on cataloguing and describing manuscripts in a digital format with particular emphasis on the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). These three days will also combine theoretical principles and practical experience and include supervised work on computers. The course is free of charge and open to all arts and humanities doctoral students registered at UK institutions. It is principally aimed at those writing dissertations which relate to medieval manuscripts, especially those on literature, art and history. Priority will be given to PhD students funded by the AHRC. Class sizes are limited to twenty and places are 'first-come-first-served' so early registration is strongly recommended. For further details see http://ies.sas.ac.uk/study/mmsda/ or contact the course organisers at mmsda(a)sas.ac.uk.

CFP: a panel on Digitizing the Senses at the ACMRS conference, Tempe, AZ
by Brent Nelson 21 Sep '08

21 Sep '08

Call for Papers: *Digitizing the Senses* a panel for the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies conference in Tempe, AZ, 12-14 February 2009 While digital media have enabled new and innovative access to medieval and Renaissance texts, these same media hold perhaps even more potential for investigating and representing the material cultures of these periods. This panel of papers will build on recent scholarship on materiality by bringing together innovative research on the theory and praxis of digitizing medieval and Renaissance material culture. especially as it relates to the senses. Topics may address theory and/or practice in the application of digital technology to the study of material culture, including but not limited to art, architecture, cartography, the anatomical and cultural body, collections, antiquarianism and early archeology, dramaturgy, arts and crafts, printed and manuscript materials. Accepted papers may also be considered for a collection of essays on "Digitizing Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture" to be edited by Brent Nelson (University of Saskatchewan) and Melissa Terras (University College London) for the New Technologies in Medieval and Renaissance Studies series edited by Ray Siemens and Bill Bowen. Please submit title, brief abstract, and statement of affiliation to brent.nelson_at_usask.ca by October 14, 2008.

Space still available on digital medievalist sessions at Kalamazoo
by Peter Robinson 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

Dear everyone There is still space available in the digital medievalist sessions at Kalamazoo..if you are interested in contributing to any of these, please let me know! The Digital Medievalist is once more sponsoring sessions at Kalamazoo. We have had proposals for one panel and two paper sessions accepted, thus: Panel: What every digital medievalist should know This session will take up the theme of Jim Marchand's famous 'WEMSK' series, focussing on how the omnipresence of digital technology has changed what every medievalist -- teacher, scholar, reader, anyone -- should know. We used only to have books; then we had films, television, and now we can everything in a small box, or in a browser on our screen -- even, in a mobile phone. How does this change what we should do, how we should do it, what we should know? Papers: Exemplary instances of research using digital methods and materials Several decades into the digital revolution, we may fairly ask: what has changed? For all the digital technology about us, are we still doing research in the same way? We invite contributions from scholars who have found research possibilities for any aspect of medieval studies which could not have been available in the pre-digital world. This may be because the materials were not available, or it may be because the methods were not available, or any combination of the two. Papers: Using digital materials in the classroom We invite papers narrating how teachers have used digital materials relating to any aspect of medieval studies in the undergraduate (or graduate) classroom. What are the benefits, difficulties, virtues and dangers in their use? What can be achieved in the classroom with digital materials which could not be achieved through traditional print matter? We have space in all these sessions. If you are interested in taking part in any of these sessions, please send, by 8 September: For the panel: your name and brief resume, a few sentences on what you would say as a panel member, and a completed participant identifier form (PID!) For the paper sessions: as usually required for Kalamazoo -- a 300 word abstract and completed PID You can download the PID form from http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/congress/submissions.html#PIF In the past, these have been excellent and stimulating sessions. And I will personally buy a beer or other beverage of choice to any participant. I recommend Bells Oberon (taste of summer, etc) Peter Robinson Institute for Textual Scholarship and Electronic Editing Elmfield House, Selly Oak Campus University of Birmingham Edgbaston B29 6LG P.M.Robinson(a)bham.ac.uk p. +44 (0)121 4158441, f. +44 (0) 121 415 8376 www.itsee.bham.ac.uk

DM Website back up!
by James Cummings 11 Sep '08

11 Sep '08

As announced earlier the DM website, www.digitalmedievalist.org, was taken down today for some essential maintenance. Only minor complications were encountered in what was a long overdue set of upgrades through 4 operating system versions, and I believe these have been resolved. It is hoped that this upgrade will solve a driver mismatch problem that was causing occasional downtime when the virtual machine would fail to restart properly whenever the VM servers at University of Lethbridge had a problem which necessitated their own restart. Simultaneous to the multiple upgrades, some other underlying changes (hopefully invisible) were made which will allow further development of our journal production workflow. If you notice any problems with the site feel free to email either myself or tech(a)digitalmedievalist.org. Apologies for any inconvenience, James Cummings

Centre for Computing in the Humanities, King's College London www.princeton.edu/humanist/ Submit to: humanist(a)princeton.edu Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2008 01:56:58 +0100 From: Humanist Discussion Group <willard.mccarty(a)mccarty.org.uk> Subject: Postdoctoral Fellow in Early Modern Textual Studies and Digital Humanities (2009-11) Postdoctoral Fellow in Early Modern Textual Studies and Digital Humanities (2009-11) The Electronic Textual Cultures Laboratory (ETCL) [URL: < http://etcl.uvic.ca/ >] at the University of Victoria has an exciting two-year postdoctoral opportunity for a candidate with a background in early modern literary and textual studies, expertise in computing, and an interest in the digital humanities field. The postdoctoral fellow will be key in the development of a professional reading environment designed to respond to the needs of those working with early modern books and manuscripts. Source material for this work will be derived from our work on the /Devonshire Manuscript/ (BL Add MS 17,492) and our ongoing work with professional reading environments in number of related projects. The successful candidate will have skills and aptitudes in early modern research, textual studies, and scholarly editing in a digital humanities context, including training or demonstrated experience working with TEI XML and digital editions. Organizational skills are essential. Interest and aptitude in research planning and management would be an asset. The ability to work in concert with our existing team is a critical requirement. Examples of technologies employed in related ETCL projects are as follows: TEI P5; XML, XSLT, XSL and XHTML encoding; XQuery; eXist XML databases; JavaScript; Ruby on Rails; PHP; CSS; and web-based SQL database projects using PostgresSQL and mySQL. Experience in some or all of these areas would be an asset, but is not a requirement, though aptitude with digital tools is required. Our current team members pride themselves on a passionate interest in both the humanities and their computation engagement. Our ideal candidate is someone with similar passions who can introduce the team to new ideas and provide new perspectives on existing digital humanities issues. Salary for this position is competitive in the Canadian context, and is governed in part by SSHRC practices; combined with a local supplement, the annual salary for this position is expected to be $52,000, inclusive of benefits and travel allowances.
