**Please share. Apologies for cross-posting!** On October 17-18, please join the Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture at Duke University to reflect on contributions of art historians and visual culture scholars to the spatial digital humanities at Centering Art History & Visual Culture in the Digital Humanities: A Symposium Celebrating 10 Years of the Wired! Lab at Duke<https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/>. Find out more: sites.duke.edu/centeringdh<https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/> | #centeringdh<https://twitter.com/hashtag/centeringdh> Register: https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/registration/ Watch the livestream: Thursday – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-Thurs Friday Morning – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-FridayMorning Friday Afternoon – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-FridayAfternoon Over the past decade, the use of digital methods has exploded in the study of art history and visual culture. As with other areas of the digital humanities, art historians and visual culture scholars have used a very wide range of approaches. Still, increasingly, one of the core areas that art history and visual culture have particular focused on is the analysis of spatial problems through computational methods and digital visualization. This conference brings to the fore core contributions of art historians and visual culture scholars to the spatial digital humanities. Looking at objects and environments at a wide variety of scales, panelists will ask: What spatial and temporal cultural problems can be addressed with digital methods? Conversely, speakers will address how the art and visual culture extend and complicate developments within the digital humanities. This conference is held in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture here at Duke University. The Wired! Lab is itself a center of major research involving the study of objects, buildings, and urban environments at a variety of different scales and with diverse computational methods. We are pleased to host this dialogue on how spatial problems in art history and visual culture contribute to important developments within the digital humanities. --- Hannah L.

Dear colleagues, We are thrilled to announce the conference keynote presentations for the 2020 Global DH Symposium! We look forward to welcoming *Carrie Heitman* <https://www.unl.edu/anthropology/carrie-heitman>, whose work includes the Chaco Research Archive <http://www.chacoarchive.org/cra/> and work on digital indigeneity; and *Miguel Escobar Varela* <http://miguelescobar.com/>, whose work includes digital theatre projects as well as biometric study of Javanese dance <https://villaorlado.github.io/dance/html/index.html>. Please consider applying to present at this symposium, which includes work from across disciplines and timeframes. Best, Kristen *Global Digital Humanities Symposium* March 26-27, 2020 Michigan State University msuglobaldh.org *Call for Proposals* Deadline: November 1 Proposal form <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/> Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its symposium series on Global DH (msuglobaldh.org <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/>) into its fifth year, on *March 26-27, 2020*. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of MSU's Cultural Heritage Informatics Program <http://chi.anthropology.msu.edu/>, we particularly encourage proposals along that theme, but as always we strive to showcase DH work in all its forms. Alongside the expansion of digital humanities in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, endangered data <http://endangereddataweek.org/>, and the digital divide. DH communities have raised and responded to these issues, pushing the field forward. This symposium is an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Additionally, we define the term “humanities” rather broadly to incorporate the discussion of issues that encourage interdisciplinary understanding of the humanities. Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism, intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial frameworks to participate. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by *Friday, November 1, midnight in your timezone:* - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western - DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement - Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance, especially in a postcolonial context - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations within the digital humanities community - Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism - Global digital pedagogies - Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital - Digital and global languages and literatures - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context - Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context - Productive failure *Presentation Formats:* - 5-minute lightning talk - 15-minute presentation - 90-minute workshop - 90-minute panel - Poster presentation - There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute virtual presentations Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal. *Submit a proposal here <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>* *Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 9, 2019* Kristen Mapes Assistant Director of Digital Humanities College of Arts and Letters Michigan State University kristenmapes.com kmapes(a)msu.edu kmapes86(a)gmail.com

Seminar: copyright and the digitized historical collections in Europe (October 31, Amsterdam))
by Evina Steinova 24 Sep '19

24 Sep '19

Dear colleagues, If you are in the Netherlands around October 31, you may wish to attend this interesting seminar with a copyright specialist, who is going to talk about the copyright issues emerging from the digitization of historical collections in European libraries. If you know of those who may be interested to attend, let them know. Sincerely, Evina Steinova Huygens ING https://evinasteinova.academia.edu/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Copyright or Copyfraud?* *Is it possible to claim copyright over digitized versions of documents recording public domain content?* *Speaker*: Dr. Sunimal Mendis, Center for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI), University of Strasbourg, France. *31 October 2019, 15.15-17.00* Huygens ING Spinhuis, Room 2.18 Oudezijds Achterburgwal 185, Amsterdam At present, a wealth of historical documents recording public domain content is stored in the ‘dark-archives’ of memory institutions to which members of the public are granted limited access. The advent of digitization has the potential to make the content recorded upon these documents easily and speedily accessible to users across the globe in the form of digital images. Thus, digitization has been hailed as a ‘digital renaissance’ in which the ‘forgotten-knowledge’ recorded upon these documents can be unfettered from their tangible carriers and widely circulated to be freely used in the enrichment of social, cultural and scientific discourse. Digitization has particular significance for scholars who are now able access and re-use these images in scientific research. However, in many instances such re-use is restricted through copyright claims made by the memory institutions and private sector entities who invest in the digitization process. But can a digital image of a public domain work produced through a mass-digitization process qualify for copyright protection? This presentation analyzes the legitimacy of copyright claims that are made in respect of digital images of documents recording public domain content and explores the space available to researchers and scholars to re-use these images for non-commercial purposes. It also attempts to identify means by which the researcher community may contribute to policy-making in this area with the objective of achieving greater freedom in using digital images of public domain documents for research purposes. *For further information and to register, contact Evina Steinova (evina.steinova(a)huygens.knaw.nl <evina.steinova(a)huygens.knaw.nl>)*
