Leveraging non-named entities in Coptic antiquity
Streamed live at https://youtu.be/Web8vaAbx-M
In this paper we present the latest work on large scale, semi-automatic and quantitative analysis of the body of entities mentioned in texts from Coptic Antiquity. Unlike Greek and Roman materials, which have been studied extensively, digital treatment of Coptic data from the first millennium has lagged behind until recently, in part due to the smaller research community and the morphological complexity of the language, which is fusional and features agglutination, compounding and incorporation of nouns into complex verbs.
We show how annotating named and non-named entities enriches Coptic corpora, including the identification of nested entities and entity linking. We will focus especially on non-named Coptic entities, which are of great interest to scholars working on monasticism and asceticism, since many central texts revolve around unnamed protagonists (e.g. ‘an ascetic’) in unidentified locations (‘a monastery’). In many cases, the proportion of named entities is well below 5%.
The relevance of entity annotation is further demonstrated through visualizations of Coptic entities, which enable researchers to access a variety of information in Coptic corpora through distant reading, allowing them to explore easily types of places in different works, to get lists of nouns referring to organizations, events or animals, examine feminine vs. masculine nouns denoting people and more. From a comparative quantitative perspective, the prevalence of non-named entities of different types can also reveal dissimilarities between texts.

Call for Papers | 2022 Topic: [re]constructions
/magazén/ is accepting proposals to its 2022 volume entitled
[re]constructions, which shall devote two semestral issues of the
journal (June and December) to the theory and practice of
[re]configuring lost realities, [re]creating long gone dimensions,
[re]building likely scenarios, [re]considering exhibition settings and
[re]covering disappeared traces of historical and cultural value.
Indeed, over the last decade the principle of [re]construction by means
of scholarly expertise set the pace of many recent research projects in
the prosperous field of digital and public humanities. Particularly
digital tools and interdisciplinary collaborations provided the
opportunity to [re]compose varied sources and [re]visualise research
data, such as to offer unprecedented insights in historical, societal,
cultural, artistic, archaeological, and political events. Evolving
research technologies and consolidated methodological approaches in the
digital and public humanities allowed scholars to test their analytical
abilities against a set of novel possibilities to make their results
public, immersive, and virtually appreciated. In this regard, digital
and public humanities lay at the crossroads of the kind of speculation,
intuition, and invention that comes with every act of scholarly
[re]construction, seen as a creative task steered by scientific rigour.
A true symbol of this attitude are the square brackets, which stand as a
visual sign and signifier of the ‘gap-filling’ and ‘meaning-making’
tasks humanists always aim to accomplish in their research work. In a
sense, digital and public humanists have the privilege of [re]framing
their disciplines in various ways, such as: filling the gap of missing
text fragments and traditions, retracing the dynamics of historical
processes and events, retrieving dispersed artworks and collections,
reconstructing lost archaeological sites and artefacts. Eventually,
/magazén/’s volume 2022 will draw particular attention to the public
aspects of such endeavours, given that successful [re]constructions hold
firm to the principle of research dissemination and audience involvement
from their very inception, rather than having public access just as a
late side-effect of scholarly work.
Hence, for its 2022 volume /magazén/ is set to examine in two semestral
issues the concept of ‘[re]constructions’ as a procedural and
constitutional peculiarity of digital and public humanities. Scholars
are particularly invited to submit contributions that span from
theoretical debates to methodological reflections, also comprising the
examination of particular case studies from the heterogeneous domains of
Digital Textual Scholarship, Digital and Public History, Digital and
Public Archaeology, Digital and Public Art History, GLAM studies.
For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please write an
abstract of no more than 200 words together with a short biographical
note and the provisional title of the paper. All materials should be
sent by September 15, 2021 via email (subject: “magazén 2022 – Call for
Papers”) to the editorial board at the following address:
magazen(a)unive.it <mailto:magazen@unive.it>. Notice of selection will be
given to authors within four weeks from submission deadline.
Finalised contributions are expected to be 6,000-9,000 words long (notes
and bibliography included) and will undergo double blind peer review.
Accepted languages are Italian and English, though all texts must have
an English abstract and stick to the ‘Editorial Guidelines’
<https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/media/pdf/pubblicare-con-noi/ecf_norme_e…> of
Edizioni Ca’ Foscari. Texts that should not comply with editorial
guidelines will not be accepted. Please note that the author must secure
all copyright permissions (reproduction costs included) for images and
other media.
The deadline for all accepted articles is February 15, 2022, for issue 1
and July 15, 2022, for issue 2. Final publication of the first issue is
planned by June 2022, while the second issue will be due in December 2022.

Dear DM community,
I am very glad to let you know that we at the Innovating Knowledge<http://innovatingknowledge.nl/> project (Huygens Institute, Amsterdam) just released a digital edition of the glosses to the first book of the Etymologiae of Isidore of Seville.
This digital edition makes use of network visualizations to display the relationships between the manuscript witnesses, to map these relationships against the geographical background, and to showcase how the glosses are distributed across the text. All in all, the edition contains approximately 4,280 glosses as found in more than 50 early medieval manuscripts, including vernacular, Tironian and dry-point glosses.
You can find the edition at: https://db.innovatingknowledge.nl/edition
Together with the edition, we are also publishing the raw data<https://innovatingknowledge.nl/?page_id=104> behind the edition in a hope that they can be further reused by other projects. The TEI-XML file, the XML schema, and the software code of the edition are also published<https://github.com/HuygensING/isidore-glosses> today in a dedicated GitHub repository.
I am also very glad that the data from the edition was also published on our partner project, the GlossEngine<http://www.glossing.org/glossengine/collections.php>.
I hope that many of you will find this edition useful and inspiring.
Best wishes,
Evina

The Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts
Fragments and Frameworks
Illuminated Manuscripts and Illustrated Books in Digital Humanities
Friday, October 1
The study of art history has long dealt with fragments and processes of fragmentation. Illuminated manuscripts and illustrated books in particular may have their fragments and folia fugitiva—pieces of material—separated from a whole collection or corpus. Many thousands of drawings and miniatures are dispersed around the world, including those donated to the National Gallery of Art by Lessing J. Rosenwald. The adoption of open-access online collections has enabled new avenues for study. Open digital frameworks promise to bring new data and new attention to these objects and to ask critical questions about their provenance and conservation. This conference will discuss fragments and frameworks, actual and conceptual, in art history and related disciplines, and address emerging questions in digital humanities. What kinds of afterlives are incurred by processes of fragmentation and cutting? How does the concept of the frame or framework inform the study of illuminated manuscripts and illustrated books? How does the concept of (digital) remediation inform our approach to these works?

The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies is pleased to announce the first two installments of the 2021 - 2022 SIMS Online Lecture Series:
* Between Central and East Asia: Chinese Manuscripts from Tenth-Century Dunhuang
Imre Galambos, University of Cambridge
Friday, September 17, 2021, 12:00 -1:30pm EDT (via Zoom)
Geographically, the oasis city of Dunhuang occupied a strategic position on the northwestern edge of the Chinese cultural sphere, connecting the Chinese states with Central Asia, known at the time as the Western Regions. During the tenth century, Dunhuang was inhabited by a multilingual population that produced a vast quantity of manuscripts written in Chinese, Tibetan and over a dozen of other languages. At the turn of the twentieth century, tens of thousands of these manuscripts were discovered in a sealed-off Buddhist cave, leading to the development of entirely new fields of scholarly research and the decipherment of several long-forgotten languages. The manuscripts provide an unprecedented amount of information on the linguistic, economic, social and religious dimensions of contemporary life. Even though they were found together in the same cave, and had been produced by the same group of people, they are typically studied by specialists of respective languages and disciplines. In an attempt to bridge the linguistic barrier, this talk proposes to look at Chinese manuscripts in a wider context, connecting them with non-Chinese scribal cultures of Central Asia. One of my aims is to draw attention to the degree of interaction and mutual influence between these traditions, attesting to the mixed nature of local population.

* Growing a Research Network: Approaches to Global Book History
Suzanne Conklin Akbari, Institute for Advanced Study, and Alexandra Gillespie, University of Toronto
Friday, October 15, 2021, 12:00 - 1:30 pm EDT (via Zoom)
The Book and the Silk Roads approaches the "book" in a capacious way: it is a writing surface, taken from the natural world, hand-crafted to bear textual records. Books can be rolls, leaves, screenfolds, codices, tablets, and even standing stones. To reveal their meanings, to read their diverse texts and scripts alongside their materials, physical structures, and layers of accretions, we need to marshal innovative, interdisciplinary approaches and a collaborative methodology, embedded within a global perspective. Over the past year and a half, we have worked to transform our understanding of the human past and its nonhuman contexts by establishing a wide range of research partnerships, laying the groundwork for a global history of the book. In this talk, we will offer an overview of The Book and the Silk Roads that 1) summarizes the lessons learned during the pandemic, as our project has pivoted in a nimble way to accommodate increased use of online environments and limitations on research travel; 2) outlines some of our research findings, from birchbark Kashmiri manuscripts to palimpsests from Sinai; and 3) describes our increasingly substantial public humanities focus, including our upcoming exhibition at the Aga Khan Museum, Hidden Stories: Books Along the Silk Roads. Click here for more information and the link to registration<https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/growing-research-networ…>.

Call for Participation
UK/IE Digital Humanities Network event
22 October 2021
Who has Access to the Digital Humanities? Diversity and Inclusivity in DH in Ireland and the UK
The convenors of an AHRC/IRC funded project to undertake research and consultation towards the implementation of a permanent Digital Humanities association for the UK and Ireland (see list of team members here<https://dhnetwork.org/team/>) invite submissions from individuals to co-create an event relating to DH and inclusion.
One of the dreams of information and communication technologies is that of equitable and open access to information, to services, and to opportunities. We know, of course, that this is only true on the surface, and that technological systems tend to recreate the inequities of the cultures and societies that build them.As such, the dream of the digital humanities as a ‘big tent’ (that is, capacious, broad and inclusive) is also one that we need to constantly query and challenge if the field is to have a claim to being inclusive and diverse.
This is a particularly pressing issue as we explore the potential for a regional DH network to support the use and promotion of DH methods in the UK and Ireland. We would therefore like to ask our growing community to co-create an event on the state of inclusivity in DH in our countries, and how we might actively strive to improve from this baseline. This virtual event will take place on 22nd October, 2021, from 10AM-4PM.
Themes welcomed: Access barriers come in many forms, and the only way to address them is to surface and discuss them. For this reason, the programme committee welcomes submissions addressing the broadest possible interpretation of disinclusion, based on ageism, racism, classism, sexism or ableism; geography, culture, or ethnicity; hidden behind the availability or accessibility of data, funding, software, infrastructures, or the languages we use; manifesting as closed opportunities, labour or reward inequities, or well-meaning inclusivity measures that trivialise or tokenise certain kinds of experience. In particular, we welcome submissions that point not only toward the problems, but profile good practice examples and measures we might take as a network..
Perspectives welcomed: This call is for students, early career researchers, activists, community workers, or any who do or would engage in DH/online practices, methodologies and spaces etc., and who have an interest in shared practice, open exchange, or to showcase their work. Submissions may therefore be from individuals, teams or pairs of collaborators having experienced successful or failed attempts to be a part of the DH community, representative groups from different sectors, or other configuration. We would particularly like to encourage non-academic contributions, and indeed those representing the voices of people who would like to access DH but who cannot for different reasons. As we are a UK/Irish network, however, we will highlight experiences either tied to the specificities of this geographical space, or offering reflections relevant to our future development.
Format: The programme committee encourages potential participants to propose a form to follow their function. From a 5-minute provocation to a full 45-minute panel session; prerecorded or live; based on personal experiences or research. In your submission, please let us know as well if there are any measures you would like us to take to ensure you feel you will be able to present in a safe and welcoming environment of listening, learning and discussion.
Submissions: Please submit via this form<https://forms.office.com/r/MzYriiJ2DK> a description of up to 250 words of how you would like to contribute along with a bio note of up to 50 words by 5PM on 13 September, 2021.The programme committee will meet to consider the proposals, and convene a meeting for all participants to discuss issues of format and ground rules in the first week of October.

Dear list members,
I would like to call your attention to the following job opening in the ERC Consolidator Grant-funded Dissident Networks Project (DISSINET, https://dissinet.cz), where we use various computational methods to shed new light on medieval religious dissidence and inquisition. We are now searching to extend the team by hiring a computational linguist, programming Latinist, or NLP specialist to join the adventure. The role will be to lead the constitution of a corpus of OCR-ed editions of inquisition records and, in collaboration with the larger team, study features related to the language of those records such as their vocabulary, the style of recording, the construction of deposition narratives, the use of language for social control, etc.
In contrast to a call I circulated earlier, we are not only open to postdocs but also to those who have not yet completed their PhD studies, and even those who would like to do their PhD in the Study of Religions with us at Masaryk University on the topic of this research strand within DISSINET.
The deadline for the submission of applications is 15 September 2021.
For more information, please see below.
I would be very grateful if you could forward this message to candidates potentially interested in this position.
All the best,
David Zbíral
Number of open positions: 1
Expected start: 1 November 2021 (negotiable)
Duration: 31 October 2022 (first contract), 31 August 2026 (very probable extension based on performance review)
Deadline for applications: 15 September 2021 23:59 CEST (UTC+2)
Full call and submission: https://www.muni.cz/en/about-us/careers/vacancies/64897
The Dissident Networks Project (DISSINET, https://dissinet.cz/) - an ERC Consolidator Grant-funded research initiative based at Masaryk University (Brno, Czech Republic) - offers a full-time research fellowship in computational text analysis. The research of the successful applicant will focus on the discursive patterns in medieval inquisitorial records, with the aim of shining a new light on the production of these texts, their discourses, and the religious cultures they describe.
We are searching for a research fellow with one of the following types of profile:
(a) programming Latinist, or digital humanist, with competence in one or more historical languages and some experience in programming; or
(b) computational linguist, NLP specialist or text mining specialist, with interest in history or historical languages;
(c) another kind of mixed/interdisciplinary profile, with some of the previously mentioned competencies and strong interest in working on a historical research project.
The successful candidate will develop their own research direction in consultation with the Principal Investigator (Dr. David Zbíral), focusing on the computational text processing and analysis of medieval inquisition records.
DISSINET also works extensively on the manual coding of medieval inquisitorial material, offering a significant close-reading layer of data. We focus on various computational approaches to Christian dissent and inquisition, also including social network analysis, socio-semantic network analysis, and geographic information science: the successful candidate will have the opportunity to produce mixed-methodology work in this collaborative context. The ERC-funded position thus represents a unique opportunity for building a truly cutting-edge research profile.
The position is residential (although with reasonable flexibility for pandemic-related travel restrictions). Brno is a very pleasant university city in the Czech Republic, European Union, ca. 2 hours by direct train connection from Vienna and Prague, and offers all the opportunities of a modern metropolis.

University Lectureship in Digital Humanities
Cambridge Digital Humanities (CDH) is a thriving research centre reaching across the School of Arts and Humanities and School of Humanities and Social Sciences. We have strong associations with Cambridge's many museums and collections, work closely with the University Library, and have links to many other faculties and research centres.
The successful applicant will convene the new CDH-led MPhil programme in Digital Humanities to be launched in September 2022 and will work with the CDH Director and Learning Director to further develop the programme as it expands into new areas. They will offer postgraduate teaching and supervision, and they will also take on doctoral students in CDH and the Faculty of English. The role is likely to involve UG teaching in future years as CDH develops. Primary responsibilities of the role will be to CDH.
We are seeking candidates with a wide range of expertise in Digital Humanities, which we conceive as an expansive and intrinsically inter-disciplinary field, that brings together research focussed around collections, platforms, digital methods, public cultures, digital aesthetics, cultural analytics, digital media studies, medium theory, and cultural critique.
The post will be based in the Faculty of English, and we welcome applications from candidates whose DH work directly engages with English literature or other media. However, we also welcome other DH specialisms including: cultural analysis, archival cultures, film and visual cultures, digital media studies, digital methods, AI and humanities research, activism and critical media, race, decolonization and epistemic change. The successful applicant will have a commitment to Digital Humanities as their interdisciplinary home, and through their research and teaching, they will make a substantial contribution to the range, scope and depth of the work at CDH.
