magazén - new issue (consolidation) & CfP (reconstruction)
by Franz FISCHER 09 Jul '21

09 Jul '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 digital medievalists, Two announcements about magazén, International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities (new issue on 'consolidation' and CfP on 'reconstructions'): 1) magazén - new issues out on 'consolidation' The Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) gladly announces the publication of the first issue of the second volume of magazén, International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities, available freely online at: http://doi.org/10.30687/mag/2724-3923/2021/03.

Enjoy reading! 2) magazén - call for abstracts on '[re]constructions' magazén, the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, launched an international Call for Papers for its next volume entitled “[re]constructions”. The 2022 volume shall devote two semestral issues of the journal to to the theories 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. Abstract submission: September 15, 2021 Abstract acceptance: October 15, 2021 Articles submission: February 15, 2022 (issue 1) or July 15, 2022 (issue 2) Prospective publication: June 2022 (issue 1) and December 2022 (issue 2) See the full CfP below and soon at: https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/it/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/info For questions please get in contact with the editors: magazen(a)unive.it<mailto:magazen@unive.it> On behalf of the editorial board Franz Fischer -- Call for Papers – Volume 2022 – “[re]constructions” magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (unive.it/vedph<http://unive.it/vedph>) Department of Humanities, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy magazén | International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities magazén is the interdisciplinary journal of the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) based at the Department of Humanities at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice undergoing double blind peer review and published twice per year in digital copy and html version in open access by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari<https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/en/edizioni4/>. The VeDPH is founded upon an initiative of excellence that aims at stimulating an interdisciplinary methodological discourse to serve as the basis for the collaborative development of durable, reusable, shared resources for research and learning in the field of digital and public humanities. Its disciplinary domains include Digital Textual Scholarship, Digital and Public Art History, Digital and Public History, Digital Cultural Heritage and Digital and Public Archaeology. Call for Papers | Volume 2022: [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. Submissions | Abstracts and guidelines For scholars interested in submitting a proposal, please send the provisional title, the abstract of no more than 200 words together with a short biographical note. All materials should be sent by September 15, 2022 via email (subject: “magazen 2022 – Call for Papers”) to the editorial board at the following address: magazen(a)unive.it<mailto:magazen@unive.it>.

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 of Edizioni Ca’ Foscari<https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/media/pdf/pubblicare-con-noi/ecf_norme_e…>.

A key focus for the network is the question of career development in Digital Humanities, and the options that are available to postgraduate students, early career researchers, and aspiring research software engineers (RSEs) in particular. An opening panel session will present the experiences of digital humanists who have gone on to a wide variety of careers, from academia to the creative industries, cultural heritage and the technology sector. This will be followed by an open discussion exploring the kinds of support and guidance that would make a difference to the career paths of Digital Humanities ECRs and RSEs, including industry placements, training, mentoring and advocacy. This conversation will feed into a discussion paper on next-generation careers in and from Digital Humanities.

We want to learn all languages! Applications of translation alignment in digital environments
by Gabriel Bodard 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '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. Digital Classicist London SeminarFriday June 25, 2021, 17:00 (UK time/UTC+1) Chiara Palladino (Furman) & Tariq Yousef (Leipzig)We want to learn all languages! Applications of translation alignment in digital environments Live at https://youtu.be/R2Ms6yAMZss In this seminar, we will introduce the topic of translation technologies, with particular regard to text and translation alignment, one of the most important and complex tasks of NLP. Then, we will present Ugarit (http://ugarit.ialigner.com/<https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLU…>), a web-based tool for manual and automatic alignment of parallel corpora. Conceived as a Citizen Science project to collect training data for the implementation of statistical machine translation of Ancient Greek, Persian, and English, Ugarit has now become one of the most used digital environments for the manual alignment of texts in underrepresented and historical languages. Currently, Ugarit hosts corpora in 43 languages, and has been widely used in scholarly projects for the study of Armenian, Persian, Arabic, Ancient Greek, Latin, Portuguese, and Egyptian. It has also been successfully applied in language teaching to facilitate a direct approach to original texts through the scaffolding provided by the systematic comparison with translations. While most translation technologies are limited to the coverage of modern, widely indexed languages like English, Ugarit introduces a new way of working with languages that is based on manual alignment between parallel texts: with the systematic support of translations in a known language, users can create datasets of aligned pairs to support language learning for themselves, study the reception of a particular text, or to provide alignments for other readers. Moreover, users contribute training data for the implementation of statistical machine translation for underrepresented languages, which has been tested for Persian and Ancient Greek. The database of Ugarit can also be visualized and queried to investigate relationships across languages that have not been directly aligned: by using the underlying graph database, we can visualize connections between words in two different languages by using a third language as a bridge, with which both languages have been aligned, and investigate broader phenomena such as word frequency across languages and common tendencies in translations.
