Digital Medievalist @ IMC 2019 - CfP
by Georg Vogeler 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Dear Digital Medievalists, Medievalists have long been aware that the objects of their research are conditioned by their materiality -- that the shape of a charter or a manuscript is a part of its meaning. Since the 1980’s, recognition of this principle has elevated the study of material culture to a field within the broader discipline of Medieval Studies. At the same time libraries, research institutions, and museums have been intent on producing digital catalogues and images of their collections. The result of these initiatives is a mass of data and metadata constituting a new frontier for digital methods: 3D modeling, multispectral imaging, and Handwritten Text Recognition create new modalities of representation, while Controlled vocabularies, Linked Data, Ontologies and APIs like IIIF enhance the possibilities to model and share descriptive data. Superadded to these developments, digital methods for the interpretation of source material and presentation of research results have grown beyond the materiality of printed books and articles: data publications have started to gain traction in the community; complex visualizations tell more than a description by words, and digital editions incorporate experimental forms of interaction with research data that goes beyond the traditional forms of publication. In all of this, Medievalists have been leaders in adopting digital methods to work with the physical heritage of the Middle Ages. Given this ferment, the Digital Medievalist community is looking for proposals presenting projects making use of these new technologies to give further - and new! - insights into the materiality of sources, and how medievalists work with cultural heritage data to understand better the impact of the digital methods on our understanding of the Middle Ages. Please send your proposal (300 Words incl. a short CV) to dm.imc2019(a)gmail.com by Sept. 25th.

CFP: Editing Scribal Texts
by Jim Knowles 04 Sep '18

04 Sep '18

Dear Colleagues, We are still seeking abstracts for a session titled “Editing Scribal Texts” at the International Piers Plowman Society Meeting, Miami, April 4–6, 2019. Detailed information on the conference is available at: http://www.piersplowman.org/conferences/ipps-2019-conference/ ***** *Call for Proposals: Editing Scribal Texts * Organizers: Ian Cornelius, Loyola University (icornelius(a)luc.edu), and Jim Knowles, North Carolina State University (jrknowle(a)ncsu.edu) Writing in 2001 in a combined review of the last installment of the Athlone *Piers Plowman* and the first installment of the *Piers Plowman Electronic Archive*, Anne Middleton ventured that the salient feature of scribal texts is neither copying error nor intelligent intervention, but the “reciprocity of idiom and knowledge between [an] author and a textual community.” Middleton concluded with what might still, two decades on, be taken as a challenge: “The editorial search for the original text,” she says, “is inseparable from the pursuit of the immediate verbal and institutional conditions that motivated and informed it, but thus far the latter has surprisingly few takers.” Has this situation changed at all? Much editorial activity in recent decades has been devoted to presentation of scribal versions of literary texts; have editors taken up the programmatic focus articulated by Middleton—namely, to disclose and map the limits of “reciprocity of idiom and knowledge” within textual communities? If yes, how does this endeavor work in practice and what are its most important results? If other research priorities have emerged, what are they and how are they pursued? Speakers are invited to explore questions such as the following: How are the distinctive aims of a documentary edition realized in its component parts—the introduction, annotations, and critical apparatus, for example—and how have digital technologies changed the production, presentation, and use of such editions? How does an edition of a scribal text negotiate its responsibilities to a scribal document, an authorial work, and a contemporary readership? What lines of connection obtain between an edition of a scribal text and the standard/critical edition of that literary work? Who are the projected readers/users of such editions, and what do editors supply to them? What is the value of scribal versions of texts produced at a significant temporal or geographical remove from the context of composition? Proposed papers need not be devoted to *Piers Plowman* or to Middle English texts. We welcome proposals concerned more widely with editorial theory and documentary editing of medieval texts. *Deadline for abstracts is September 7, 2018. * All abstracts should be sent to the conference general mailbox ippsmiami2019(a)gmail.com rather than to session organizers. If you are sending your abstract to an Individual Session, please put the name of the session in the subject line of the email. Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words and should include the name and email address of the applicant.

A Columnist
by Larry Swain 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Greetings all, Long time-lurker and member, first email. I think. Anyway, as some of you may know, I am the co-editor of The Heroic Age (www.heroicage.org), online since 1999. Back then we started and tried to shape some of the early digital medieval discussions through a column that originally started as reviews of websites and projects. Daniel O'Donnell came on our editorial board and also became the columnist. Through permutations, personal life difficulties, career changes etc....I dropped off the end of the earth, Daniel is way too busy and have moved on in some way too, and my efforts to use personal connections to find a new DM columnist for this issue have failed. So I'm looking for volunteers: a yearly column of approx 1000-2000 words on issues in Digital Medievalism, state of the field, new projects, shaping the future of DM..... And if not volunteering, likely people who might be interested I could contact? It just seems odd to me that the oldest online journal in our field should not be also, at least a little bit, be talking about Digital Medievalism. Many Thanks for your time and help! Larry Swain

DM at Kalamazoo 2019! CFP for Interdisciplinarity in Digital Medieval Studies
by Ransom, Lynn 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

The DM Executive Board is pleased to announce the CFP for the following Digital Medievalist Sponsored Session at the 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, May 9-12, 2019: Interdisciplinarity in Digital Medieval Studies Digital methodologies and tools are commonly used among medievalists working in a variety of disciplines; less common, however, is the application of these methodologies and tools to cross-disciplinary scholarship. This session will consider 1) the role that digital projects play in reaching across disciplinary boundaries in medieval studies, 2) best practices for cross-disciplinary digital and computational research, and 3) examples of the success and failure of such research. For example, proposals may consider the use of stylometrics in historical source criticism, the use of social network analysis in literary studies, or probe manuscript datasets for evidence in support of liturgical, literary, historical, and art historical research. Our goal is to demonstrate how the development and application of digital tools, methods, and formats can enable and facilitate the interdisciplinary and collaborative research of experts and specialists across their respective subdisciplines in order to produce, provide, and openly share better insights and new knowledge with scholars and the wider public alike. Please send abstracts (ca. 250 words) and the ICMS Participant Information Form* to Lynn Ransom at lransom(a)upenn.edu<mailto:lransom@upenn.edu>. Deadline is September 15, 2018. *The ICMS Participant Information form will be available here in July: http://www.wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions. ****************** Lynn Ransom, Ph.D. Curator of Programs, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies schoenberginstitute.org Project Director, The New Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts https://sdbm.library.upenn.edu/ Co-Editor, Manuscript Studies: A Journal of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies mss.pennpress.org The University of Pennsylvania Libraries 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-6206 215.898.7851

Conference on Digital Pedagogy, 27-28 September
by Orietta Da Rold 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Dear Colleagues, Registration is now open for ‘Building sustainable digital pedagogy’ to be held in Cambridge 27-28 of September. The conference aims to consider the close inter-relationship between teaching, scholarship, and research at Cambridge. This special environment naturally cultivates a rich variety of digital resources, technologies and tools that are increasingly the result of collaboration. But does this collaboration extend to the teaching environment to benefit learners and teachers alike? How can the enthusiasm and inspiration used to build these tools and resources benefit the pursuit of education and learning? What emerging technologies might lead to a focused, efficient, interdisciplinary approach to make a difference to the broadest spectrum of researchers and students? Ubiquitous in the digital age, images have become an essential tool in research and pedagogical environments. We’ve come a long way from the carousel of slides in a projector, and technological change continues to accelerate year on year. But images are only one part of the picture. Hidden in the shadow of high quality images, there is invaluable work in the creation, management and use of data about objects, facilitating new means of discovery and opening the door to new methods of analysis. Please see conference webs its for further details. http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/27892 <http://www.crassh.cam.ac.uk/events/27892> Please circulate with anyone who may be interested. With best wishes, Orietta *********************************** Dr Orietta Da Rold Faculty of English 9 West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9DP 01223 335089 Fellow of St John´s College Cambridge, CB2 1TP 01223 768181 od245(a)cam.ac.uk webpage: http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/people/Orietta.Da_Rold/
