Dear colleagues,
The Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) gladly
announces the publication of its inaugural volume 2020 of magazén,
International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities.
The interdisciplinary journal is undergoing double-blind peer-review and
will be published twice per year in open access by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari.
It aims at stimulating an interdisciplinary discourse on methods and
practices serving a collaborative development of durable, reusable,
shared resources for research and learning in the field of digital and
public humanities. Volume 2020 features ten articles by international
scholars divided in two issues and devoted to the topic of “Fusions”,
thus analysing the intertwining landscape emerging from the recent
development of digital and public humanities.
As a matter of fact, in the last two decades much effort was placed in
defining separate disciplinary fields, in order to canonise and validate
the use of digital methodologies or public approaches in the specific
subsets of the humanities.
However, evidence suggests that digital and public challenges facing
individual disciplines are actually common to the entire field of the
humanities, thus favouring a cross-disciplinary approach rather than
thematic isolation.
Issue 1 can already be accessed online at
https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/it/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/2020/1/,
while issue 2 will soon be made available on the same platform. Please

UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network Workshop: 'Capacity enhancement in DH: training and beyond'
15 December 2020
The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association<https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FV002163%2F1> (PIs: Prof. Jane Winters and Dr. Michelle Doran) is a network funded by the AHRC and IRC that brings together different stakeholders in Digital Humanities and related fields to consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression, among other key questions. Institutions and individuals engaged with the network will work to propose ways in which the UK and Ireland can build a collaborative vision for the field, and create new and sustainable long-term partnerships in alignment with the international community.
The objectives of the workshop, organised for the network by King's Digital Lab, are the following:
* Contribute to developing pathways to sustained, effective and widespread capacity-building for DH researchers in the UK and Ireland across disciplines, institutions and career stages.
* Contribute to define specific pathways for training highly interdisciplinary humanists who are able to work across multiple sectors, including and beyond academia.
* Contribute to the broad inclusion of communities beyond individuals based in research-performing organisations, including cultural heritage institutions, the arts and creative industries, and interested citizen scientists.
* Provide opportunities for individual researchers to develop their skills and networks, and to contribute to international debates about the future of the field.
* Consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression.
The workshop discussions and findings will contribute to a discussion paper outlining capacity gaps in UK and Ireland digital humanities, with reference to the European and global contexts, and training strategies that could be used by a future UK-Ireland DH Association to resolve them.
To register and receive the link to the event, please visit the workshop's Eventbrite page<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ahrc-uk-ireland-digital-humanities-research-…>.

Call for Submissions
International Symposium “Textual Heritage in the 21st Century World. Exploring the Potential of a New Analytic Category”
Ca’ Foscari University of Venice,
Hosted on Zoom, March 22-24, 2021
Website: https://www.unive.it/textualheritage
Submission Deadline: December 21, 2020
Keynote Speakers
Wiebke Denecke (MIT)
David C. Harvey (Aarhus University)
We cordially invite proposals for the International symposium “Textual Heritage in the 21st Century World”, to be hosted virtually by Ca’ Foscari University of Venice (on Zoom).
Main topics
* Processes of canonization and heritagization of texts
* Hegemonic mechanisms of world literature and authorized heritage discourses
* The “UNESCO Memory of the World” and the problem of authenticity
* Heritage and materiality
* Non-European systems of musical notation
* Musical reconstructions
* The ownership, authorship, and copyright of textual products
* Any other aspect related to written texts and their heritagization
Aim
Heritage is spreading as a contagious academic category. Food heritage, heritage railways, smell heritage... the popularity of the word suggests that a new paradigm is quickly taking root across the Humanities and Social Sciences. At the same time, surprisingly, manuscripts, books, and other textual products have been notably absent from the interdisciplinary debate over intangible cultural heritage (ICH), despite their substantial cultural capital. This international symposium aims to explore the meanings and potentialities of textual heritage as a new analytic category through which we can challenge the split between tangible and intangible heritage. Given the increasingly connected and digitalized nature of research in the 21st century, we believe this debate is both timely and necessary. With this symposium, we wish to strengthen a dialogue between the Humanities and the Social Sciences through the interdisciplinary area of “heritage studies”. Bringing together both present-oriented approaches to texts and societies and disciplines that explore history and memory, our aim is to emphasize the role of modern and premodern texts in shaping cultural identities. We expand current notions of textuality, stretching the limits of what a text can be and do. Therefore, we adopt a broad approach to texts and their materiality, welcoming contributions that deal with all kinds of documents resulting from a technology of inscription. Such an inclusive conception of “text” encompasses manuscripts, epigraphs, musical notations, architectural plans and maps, both in analog and digital formats. We welcome theoretical contributions and case studies that engage with the concept of textual heritage, exploring how “texts” are produced, used and re-created in order to make sense of the relation between past and present.
Guidelines for Submission
We invite abstracts for 30-minute presentations, followed by 15 minutes of general discussion.
• Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, excluding references but including tables and charts.
• All abstracts should be submitted in English, which will also be the language of the conference.
• Please include a short biography of approximately 250 words.
Please submit your abstract and biography in a single PDF file by sending an email to edoardo.gerlini(a)unive.it<mailto:edoardo.gerlini@unive.it> before December 21, 2020.
We plan to collect some of the papers presented at our symposium, substantially revised, and publish them as an edited volume.
For any questions or inquiries, please send an email to a.giolai(a)hum.leidenuniv.nl<mailto:a.giolai@hum.leidenuniv.nl> or to edoardo.gerlini(a)unive.it<mailto:edoardo.gerlini@unive.it> .
