Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. 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 Evina Steinova https://homomodernus.net/ https://evinasteinova.academia.edu/ Postdoctoral Researcher NWO VENI project Innovating Knowledge<http://innovatingknowledge.nl> Huygens ING, Dutch Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, Amsterdam

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. 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?

Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies Online Lecture Series_Next up!

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. 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. Click here for more information and the link to registration<https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/between-central-and-eas…>. * 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…>. Also, we are starting up a regular monthly(ish) newsletter to share announcements about SIMS programs, events, and news.

Call for Participation: Who has Access to the Digital Humanities? Diversity and Inclusivity in DH in Ireland and the UK
by Tupman, Charlotte 17 Aug '21

17 Aug '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. 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. -- Dr Charlotte Tupman Research Fellow in Digital Humanities Director of Global, Department of Classics and Ancient History College of Humanities University of Exeter EX4 4QH Tel. +44 (0)1392 72 4243 Please note that I will be unable to answer calls to this number at present, although I should be able to retrieve voicemail. <https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/staff/tupman/> <https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/staff/tupman/>https://humanities.exeter.ac.uk/staff/tupman/ Co-Investigator of the UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network<https://dhnetwork.org/> I will usually be able to respond to emails Tue-Fri.

by David Zbíral 12 Aug '21

12 Aug '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. 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. Please see https://www.muni.cz/en/about-us/careers/vacancies/64897 for more information.
