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 Colleagues, On 27-29 October 2021, the ERC Project PASSIM (Patristic Sermons in the Middle Ages<https://www.mf.surf.net/canit/urlproxy.php?_q=aHR0cHM6Ly9hcHBsZWphY2suc2NpZ…>, Radboud University Nijmegen) will organize the international Workshop: On the Way to the Future of Digital Manuscript Studies Nijmegen, 27-29 October 2021 Over the last decades, the ability to exploit digital potential has radically impacted research in the field of manuscript studies. From the most basic facilities, such as the increasing availability of digitized images and documents, to sophisticated attempts at automatizing the entire process of critical editing, the development of digital tools is extraordinary: it has created unprecedented opportunities to mine the data, achieve innovative results, and display them, in ways which previously could only be imagined. In such a dynamic context, the number of valuable enterprises continues to grow: the time is ripe for a consideration of the achievements already obtained, and of the foundations that our current work is laying for long-term development of the field. Through the organization of this workshop, the ERC Project PASSIM seeks to provide an occasion to pursue this goal. Scientific Committee: Mariken Teeuwen (Utrecht Universiteit - Huygens ING-KNAW), Olivier Hekster (Radboud Universiteit - KNAW), Shari Boodts (Radboud Universiteit), Gleb Schmidt (Radboud Universiteit), Riccardo Macchioro (Radboud Universiteit). Confirmed Speakers: Marjorie Burghart, Mike Kestemont, Thomas Köntges, Inka Moilanen, Elena Pierazzo, Matthieu Pignot, Philipp Roelli, Dominique Stutzmann, Mariken Teeuwen, Anne-Marie Turcan-Verkerk, Martin Wallraff. Venue. The workshop will be held on 27-29 October 2021, either on location in Nijmegen (ideally), in a hybrid form, or online depending on the development of the Covid-emergency. Board and lodging expenses will be borne by the Organization; unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee coverage of travel costs at this time. Proceedings. We plan to publish the Proceedings as quickly as possible after the workshop as a volume or special issue of a relevant journal. CALL FOR PAPERS We are glad to announce the opening of the Call for Papers for 25 minutes long presentations. Abstract Submission If you would like to present a lecture at the Workshop, please send an application consisting of a short abstract (ca. 350 words) and concise CV (max. 1 pag.) to: Riccardo Macchioro (r.macchioro(a)let.ru.nl<mailto:r.macchioro@let.ru.nl>) and Gleb Schmidt (gleb.schmidt(a)ru.nl<mailto:gleb.schmidt@ru.nl>). Abstract submission deadline: 10 May 2021. Acceptance will be communicated shortly after, by 15 May 2021. Early career scientists and scholars (Ph.D., Post-Doc) are especially encouraged to apply. TOPICS Three key areas are crucial for the advancement of digital manuscript studies: 1) the contribution of research projects with a specific goal to the field as a whole; 2) the capacity to expand their (web)application(s) to other disciplines rooted in textual source-material (such as history, philology, cultural studies, and more), and vice-versa; 3) the challenges entailed in developing and implementing common/universal standards and data models (e.g. for data structuring, storage, and interoperability). Taking into account this overall framework, the main focus of the contributions can be on the scholarly problems, as well as on the technical issues involved. Possible topics include (without being limited to): Digital approaches to historical phenomena: evaluation of the social impact of a given literary corpus; the reconstruction of disintegrated manuscripts; the digital restoration of dispersed medieval libraries; how digital frameworks enhance the study of the interaction between the materiality of manuscript objects and intellectual concepts like content and organization. Data management, sustainability, interoperability: construction of big repositories of searchable metadata; the building of shared standards to encode metadata on manuscripts; networking, sustainability of structuring standards, interoperability and reusability of the data accumulated. Digital stemmatology: translation of stemmatic principles into reception studies; approaches to stemmatology from a digital point of view; automatic grouping of manuscripts; approaches to overabundant manuscript traditions by means of automatic collation tools. Computational approaches: deep learning and/or machine learning techniques for computational analysis (script identification, full-text analysis, authorship attribution, …); search for a balance between accuracy, exhaustivity, and serendipity, while programming and processing computational-statistical analysis; development and employment of OCR transcription tools. Interaction between the machine and the human scholar: harmonization of (digital) phylogenetics with the exigency of a not (too) mechanic evaluation of the data; strategies to evaluate and classify the results obtained by launching queries on huge amounts of data. Visualization strategies and tools: interpretation of the results of overarching queries; representation of connections between complex objects such as collections of texts; innovative digital editions. For any questions or further information, please do not hesitate to contact us: Riccardo Macchioro: r.macchioro(a)let.ru.nl<mailto:r.macchioro@let.ru.nl>; Gleb Schmidt: gleb.schmidt(a)ru.nl<mailto:gleb.schmidt@ru.nl>. On behalf of the Scientific Committee, Yours sincerely Riccardo Macchioro, Gleb Schmidt

Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, Cesta’s DH Public Lecture with Elaine Treharne is next week, see flyer attached below for info and to register! Best wishes, Agnieszka Backman, on behalf of Cesta -- Agnieszka Backman, PhD Wallenberg Postdoc at Stanford CESTA Digital Humanities Public Lecture Prof. Elaine Treharne Near and Far: Medieval Manuscripts Through Digital Time and Space [cidA01E8B58-289A-4B7E-B9C5-0F2CD1113037] Tuesday, March 9, 12 pm Pacific Register for the Zoom webinar<https://stanford.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_niYcChLtQRKHkwXLuqexDw> This lecture will investigate the lives of medieval manuscripts and fragments that date from the late sixth century to the fifteenth century, tracing their survival to the present day, when increasing numbers exist online in digital format. The benefits to scholars of digitization are incalculable, especially in a time of global pandemic when it is impossible to view manuscripts in person. But what do we see when we work with manuscripts and fragments in online form only? What are the advantages and what are the challenges of new technologies for viewing books produced by hand as new forms of data? This lecture is a call to maximise the opportunities of the digital environment, while being aware of the essential skills and expertise required to make the most of access to these incredible resources. Participants can expect a rich and diverse range of images and ideas as we look at how manuscripts become data, and data becomes new knowledge. About the speaker: Elaine Treharne, MArAd, PhD, FSA, FRHistS, FEA, FLSW, is the Roberta Bowman Denning Professor of Humanities, Professor of English, and Robert K. Packard University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at Stanford University. She is a medieval literature and manuscript specialist, with expertise in the long history of human communication and archival studies. She has published over thirty books and sixty articles, mostly focused on Early English texts in their manuscript contexts, and also on the digital aspect of early textuality. She directs Stanford Text Technologies, which investigates the potential of data analysis for the study of historical knowledge production. She is interested in the record of human experience: how it is transmitted, who is remembered, and how the past is memorialised. Her newest books include Text Technologies: A History, with Claude Willan (Stanford University Press, 2019); the Cambridge Companion to British Medieval Manuscripts, ed. with Orietta Da Rold (CUP, 2020); and Perceptions of Medieval Manuscripts: The Phenomenal Book (OUP, 2021).

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 All, The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network would like to bring to your attention our second workshop, organised by Prof. Lorna Hughes and Dr Paul Gooding (University of Glasgow), on communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development. It will be held on Tues 16th March; full details below. All welcome! For a place at the workshop please register via EventBrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. We are also conducting a short survey of those working in DH in the UK or Ireland to discern gaps in capacity and training strategies, and to inform discussions around the creation of a future Association. We would love to hear your views and would be very grateful if you would consider completing our short survey<https://dariah-ireland.org/pollsurvey/index.php/1> by 15th March: many thanks indeed. We hope to see as many of you as possible for the workshop on the 16th. Please feel free to join us for all or part of the day, as your schedule allows. For full details and for future events please see our network website at https://dhnetwork.org/. Best wishes, Charlotte --- Digital Humanities and advocacy: communicating the value and impact of DH in teaching, research, and infrastructure development UK-Ireland DH Network workshop Tues 16th March, 10:00-16:00 Please register via Eventbrite<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/digital-humanities-and-advocacy-tickets-1396…>. How should a DH Association for the UK and Ireland carry out advocacy? How can we ensure that any Association that emerges has both the authority and representation to speak on behalf of DH communities of practice? What are the entities that need expert input from the DH community, and how can the Association ensure that it informs and shapes policy and other decision making processes? The aim of this workshop is to discuss the policy areas in which DH interests need to be heard, and discuss some shared, strategic challenges where a united voice of those working in DH is needed. The workshop will explore the key issues that affect DH development in the UK and Ireland that have policy implications, areas where expert opinions and guidance may be needed, and the audiences for these views. We will focus on three key areas where advocacy is needed in DH: Research, teaching, and infrastructure. In research, these issues include the way that DH tools, methods, and outputs are assessed for national research assessment exercises and peer review of digital content, tools, methods and research outputs, and the impact of open access publishing on DH research outputs. For teaching, central issues have emerged around shared curricula and teaching assessment, especially the lessons learned from recent experimentation with online course delivery. In terms of infrastructure development, what are areas for investment that will impact the development and uptake of DH? And what can we do to effect engagement with those shaping policy regarding key infrastructure investment? Is there a need for a shared view? How can we advocate for DH, and to whom? How best can we facilitate international cooperation and collaboration: in the UK’s post-Brexit landscape, how can we stay connected despite the loss of schemes like Erasmus? How can we ensure continued UK DH involvement in H2020? And structurally, what model of DH Association in the UK and Ireland would underpin an advocacy agenda? What membership models would support an organisation that has a resonant and authoritative ‘voice’ for our field?
