Introducing DM’s Student and Early-Career Sub-Committee
by Alberto Campagnolo 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Dear Digital Medievalist Members If you recall, a couple of years ago, we ran a community survey to better understand our constituency, and its interests and expectations. We have used the survey results to guide our decisions and better represent the DM community. A significant issue that was highlighted by the survey was a certain lack of participation by part of (post-)graduate students and early career researchers. We have decided to tackle the problem by instituting a new subcommittee of students and early career scholars to work in parallel to the Executive Board, aiming at engaging with their peers and help the board in its activities. We have invited 8 outstanding and enthusiastic candidates to be part of this first instalment of the subcommittee. I will work as a liaison between the two boards to guarantee active communication and collaboration between the two boards. If the experiment will be successful—and I am confident it will!—we would like to call on the community once more to update the bylaws and make the subcommittee an official branch of DM, with regular calls for nominations and elections, as it is for the Executive Board. Allow me, therefore, to introduce the members of the subcommittee (in alphabetical order): Hannah Busch: PhD candidate studying the application of Artificial Intelligence for the study of medieval Latin palaeography, at Huygens ING, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. Nathan Daniels: PhD candidate in History at Johns Hopkins University, studying Parisian guilds, urban space and topography, with related interests in digital editions of historical texts, linked open data, and mapping. Selina Galka: currently finishing the Joint-Masters-Degree in German Medieval Philology and studying the MA “Digital Humanities” at the Karl-Franzens-University Graz. Tessa Gengnagel: PhD candidate at the University of Cologne, with a background in History and Latin Philology of the Middle Ages and an interest in digital scholarly editions of non-textual materials. James Harr, III: PhD student focusing on medieval media studies, petitionary networks, and material semiotics in the Communication, Rhetoric, and Digital Media program at North Carolina State University. Aylin Malcolm: PhD candidate studying medieval literature and science, including digital editions of scientific manuscripts, at the University of Pennsylvania. Caitlin Postal: PhD student caught between medieval literature, material culture, temporality, and digitality at the University of Washington. Daniela Schulz studied History and English in Cologne, with a focus on medieval history, and also received some training in what’s now commonly called “Digital Humanities”. She is writing a doctoral thesis focusing on the digital edition of an early medieval Roman law text. Alberto Campagnolo <https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/executive-board/#AC>

Reminder: CfP Growing Corpora. Byzantine Book Epigrams and Online Text Collections (deadline 15 November)
by Ilse De Vos 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

*With apologies for cross-posting* Dear colleagues, A friendly reminder that the deadline for submitting an abstract to partake in the 'Growing Corpora<https://www.dbbe2020.ugent.be>' conference (Ghent, 24-25 June 2020) is approaching. We encourage interested participants to send us their proposals by Friday 15 November. Please do not hesitate to specify whether you want to be considered for financial support<https://www.dbbe2020.ugent.be/practicalities/#Financialsupport>. Best wishes, Ilse De Vos (on behalf of the DBBE team<https://www.dbbe.ugent.be/pages/team>) Call for papers GROWING CORPORA Byzantine Book Epigrams and Online Text Collections ________________________________ Ghent, 24-25 June 2020 Since 2010, the Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams team (that is: we) have been growing an online corpus of metrical paratexts, several of which were previously unpublished or unknown altogether, and made them freely available to the scholarly community (that is: you). A new version of our database (https://www.dbbe.ugent.be<https://www.dbbe.ugent.be/>) was launched in June 2019. Exactly one year later, we are organising a two-day conference. Together with anyone interested in this particular genre of Byzantine poetry, we want to celebrate and reflect on what we have achieved so far and look ahead at what is – hopefully! – yet to come. Moreover, we want to stimulate communication and collaboration with other projects that are growing online corpora of texts. You can partake in two different types of sessions. In our demo sessions you can present your project and discuss your experiences in growing your online corpus (10-15 minutes). We are confident this will lead to a lively discussion on challenges we all face, such as data presentation, interoperability, and sustainability. In our thematic sessions you can present your research on Byzantine book epigrams (20 minutes). Possible topics include: * editing book epigrams; * theoretical reflections on the concept of book epigrams and other metrical paratexts; * book epigrams as a way to study the history of manuscripts; * visual aspects of book epigrams; * literary texts that function (or may have functioned) as book epigrams; * metre and language of book epigrams; * book epigrams in languages other than Greek. We especially welcome contributions inspired by the Database of Byzantine Book Epigrams. Confirmed speakers<https://www.dbbe2020.ugent.be/programme/> include Georgi Parpulov (University of Birmingham) and Andreas Rhoby (Austrian Academy of Sciences). Interested? Send us an abstract (up to 300 words, PDF) by 15 November 2019 (dbbe(a)ugent.be<mailto:dbbe@ugent.be>, subject “Growing Corpora – abstract”) and we will get back to you early December. Note that we want our conference to reflect who we are as a team<https://www.dbbe.ugent.be/pages/team>: welcoming and inclusive. Costs will be kept to a minimum and we are working hard to secure funding to support anyone for whom traveling might not be evident, including early career or independent scholars and carers of young children. For any further information, please visit our conference website (https://www.dbbe2020.ugent.be<https://www.dbbe2020.ugent.be/>).

2019 Schoenberg Symposium_Happening this month!
by Ransom, Lynn 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce: The 12th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 21-23, 2019 Hooking Up The concept of linked open data is the holy grail of the digital humanities. Yet the problem of how to link information across platforms has existed since civilization began. As knowledge and learning expanded in pre-modern society, the problems associated with collecting, combining, and disseminating information inspired new approaches to and technologies for the material text. In the internet age, we continue to grapple with the same problems and issues. While technologies have changed, the questions remain the same. This year's symposium explores the connections between historic and current approaches to data linkage in regard to manuscripts and manuscript research. Hooking Up addresses the topic from a variety of angles and considers how the manuscript book operates as a vehicle for information retrieval and dissemination from the technology of the page and the textual apparatus of a book, to the library, and finally, the internet. We will also consider such questions as how medieval practices of memory shaped information retrieval and gathering, how did the technology of the manuscripts book-in all its many forms-facilitate or hinder information processing, how can medieval solutions inform modern technologies, and how do modern technologies illuminate medieval practices? The program will also feature sessions highlighting projects that are advancing linked data technologies for manuscript researchers, including the T-AP Digging Into Data Challenge project Mapping Manuscript Migrations<http://mappingmanuscriptmigrations.org/>.
