Digitizing Early Material Culture: from Antiquity to Modernity
A seminar to be held in conjunction with CaSTA (the Canadian Symposium
on Text Analysis) 2008: New Directions in Text Analysis, a Joint
Humanities Computing, Computer Science Seminar and Conference at
University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, 16-18 October 2008
A “Digitizing Early Material Culture: from Antiquity to Modernity”
seminar will be held at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon 16
October 2008 and will feature guest speakers:
* Meg Twycross, Professor Emeritus of English, Lancaster University, and
Executive Editor of Medieval English Theatre (new speaker, replacing
Melissa Terras)
* Lisa Snyder, Associate Director of the Experiential Technologies
Centre, University of California Los Angeles
It will be held in conjunction with CaSTA 2008, 17-18 August, featuring
guest speakers:
* David Hoover, Professor of English at New York University (keynote)
* Hoyt Duggan, Professor Emeritus in English at University of Virginia
* Geoffrey Rockwell, Associate Professor in Humanities Computing and
Multimedia at University of Alberta
* Cara Leitch, PhD candidate in English at University of Victoria
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR “DIGITIZING EARLY MATERIAL CULTURE: FROM
ANTIQUITY TO MODERNITY”
The organizing committee also invites proposals (approx. 500-700 words)
from Canadian and international scholars and practitioners working on
the application of digital technology to the study of material culture
up to c.1700 (computer science, archaeology, anthropology, geography,
history, literature, etc.) for a pre-conference seminar on “Digitizing
Early Material Culture: from Antiquity to Modernity.” Final submissions
should aim to be 2,500-5,000 words in length and may address digital
projects, programs of research, digital tools and practices, or theory
related to the digitization of material culture to the end of the
seventeenth century. Complete papers will be circulated in advance of
the conference and participants (presenters and non-presenters) will
sign up for and participate in two to three sessions on Thursday, 16
October, having read the complete papers (2-3 per session) in advance.
Each session will comprise short introductory summaries by presenters
(5-10 minutes) followed by extensive discussion of the circulated texts.
Participants can expect to receive concrete and expert advice from other
participants as they pool expertise (together with our invited speakers)
to consider how the project, tool, or theory can be further developed
toward publication or implementation.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
which will be available subsequently through the conference Web-site.
Complete papers will be published on the conference Web-site prior to
the conference. Contributors to the seminar will also be invited to
submit papers for a collection on “Digitizing Early Material Culture,
from Antiquity to 1700,” 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 at MRTS (series
editors Ray Siemens and William Bowen).
Proposal abstracts should be sent electronically as a MS Word,
WordPerfect, or pdf file to:
Brent Nelson, conference committee chair, brent.nelson(a)usask.ca. In
consideration of our change in speakers, the deadline for proposal
submissions is now 15 June 2008, and complete papers will be due 15
September 2008
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR “NEW DIRECTIONS IN TEXT ANALYSIS”
The organizing committee of CaSTA 2008 also invites proposals from
Canadian and international scholars and practitioners working in any
area of technical or textual studies addressing the conference theme,
“New Directions in Text Analysis.” This will be the sixth annual CaSTA
conference, held in association with TAPoR (the Text Analysis Portal).
The two days of the conference (17-18 October) will feature keynote and
plenary addresses, papers, panels, and posters on a wide range of topics
related to the future of digital text analysis. Presentations might
address such topics as• changing notions of what constitutes a text
- the relationship of the material text (its physical manifestation) to
the ideal text (the text as an abstraction of words in a particular
combination)
- editing and publishing digital texts for a changing readership
- new media and digital textual scholarship
- new tools and methodologies for text analysis
- digital texts and analysis in the scholarly mainstream
- working with graduate students and research teams
Abstracts of 500-700 words should propose presentations in one of three
forms:
- Single papers (max of 3,000 words)
- Panels (three to five papers on a common theme)
- Posters (max of 750 words), either hard copy (approximately two square
metres of board space) or digital with terminal access provided. Posters
will remain on display throughout the conference and there will be a
designated session time for presenters to discuss their work.
Abstract proposals should include the following information: title of
paper, author's name(s); complete mailing address, including e-mail;
institutional affiliation and rank, if any, of the author; statement of
need for audio-visual equipment. Abstracts of papers should clearly
indicate the paper's thesis, methodology and conclusion.
CaSTA 2008 especially wants to encourage the participation of graduate
students, whose work is even now incubating many of the new directions
that this conference will begin to explore. Cara Leitch (PhD candidate,
University of Victoria) will conduct sessions of particular interest to
graduate students and to projects that involve significant student
training and participation. Travel grants will be available to students
who travel to attend the conference.
All accepted papers and posters will be published in the conference
proceedings, which will be available subsequently through the conference
Web-site. Abstracts will also be published on the conference Web-site
prior to the conference. Selected papers from the conference will be
included in a special issue of the peer reviewed journal, Text Technology.
Proposal abstracts should be sent electronically as a MS Word,
WordPerfect, or pdf file to:
Brent Nelson, conference committee chair, brent.nelson(a)usask.ca
In consideration of our change in speakers, the deadline for proposal
submissions is now 15 June 2008
