16 Jul '18

Call for Proposals – The Index of Medieval Art<https://ima.princeton.edu/> at Kalamazoo 2019 [cid:image001.jpg@01D41CF4.A82D3540] 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, MI, May 9 to 12, 2019 A Roundtable Encountering Medieval Iconography in the Twenty-First Century: Scholarship, Social Media, and Digital Methods Organizers: M. Alessia Rossi and Jessica Savage (Index of Medieval Art, Princeton University) Sponsored by the Index of Medieval Art, Princeton University Stemming from the launch of the new database and enhancements of search technology and social media at the Index of Medieval Art, this roundtable addresses the many ways we encounter medieval iconography in the twenty-first century. We invite proposals from emerging scholars and a variety of professionals who are teaching with, blogging about, and cataloguing medieval iconography. This discussion will touch on the different ways we consume and create information with our research, shed light on original approaches, and discover common goals. Participants in this roundtable will give short introductions (5-7 minutes) on issues relevant to their area of specialization and participate in a discussion on how they use online resources, such as image databases, to incorporate the study of medieval iconography into their teaching, research, and public outreach. Possible questions include: What makes an online collection “teaching-friendly” and accessible for student discovery? How does social media, including Twitter, Facebook, and blogging, make medieval image collections more visible? How do these platforms broaden interest in iconography and connect users to works of art? What are the aims and impact of organizations such as, the Index, the Getty, the INHA, the Warburg, and ICONCLASS, who are working with large stores of medieval art and architecture information? How can we envisage a wider network and discussion of professional practice within this specialized area? Please send a 250-word abstract outlining your contribution to this roundtable and a completed Participant Information Form (available via the Congress Submissions website: https://wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions) by September 15 to M. Alessia Rossi (marossi(a)princeton.edu<mailto:marossi@princeton.edu>) and Jessica Savage (jlsavage(a)princeton.edu<mailto:jlsavage@princeton.edu>).

CFP Kalamazoo 2019 ‘Big Data’ in Medieval Studies
by Susanna Allés Torrent 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

CALL FOR PAPERS – ‘Big Data’ in Medieval Studies 54th International Congress on Medieval Studies <http://www.wmich.edu/medievalcongress/submissions> Western Michigan University; May 9-12, 2019 Sponsored by Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures <https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/digital-philology-journal-medieval-cultu…> Organized by Susanna Allés-Torrent (University of Miami) and Albert Lloret (University of Massachusetts Amherst) The creation of digital collections of texts, or textual corpora, for research and preservation may be one of the seminal technological innovations in the digital humanities that still remains at the core of many text-oriented disciplines, including those belonging to medieval studies. When creating a textual corpus, digital humanists face many key choices that will determine their project’s success. These decisions include the selection of standards, format types, methods for text recollection, searchability, access, lemmatization, and interoperability, among others. Once a textual corpus is created, quantitative analysis allows researchers to study texts from a variety of critical perspectives and methodologies: statistics, stylometry, authorship atribution and verification, intertextuality, script recognition, stemmatology, text mining, topic modeling, etc. These analytical methodologies are linked to the study of large amounts of information, to which one may be tempted to refer to as big data. But what constitutes “big data” in medieval studies and the digital humanities at large? Does thinking of textual corpora as “big data” help frame their forms and uses? We invite paper submissions that reflect on the theory, practices, and challenges of creating— and researching through—textual corpora, including but not limited to: • protocols and technologies for the creation of textual corpora. • examples of textual corpora. • methologies for the study of textual corpora (e.g., stylometry, stemmatology, script recognition, etc.). • theory of textual corpora and “big data” in medieval studies. Please send a 100-word abstract and a Participant Information form to Susanna Allés-Torrent and Albert Lloret at lloret(a)umass.edu <mailto:lloret@umass.edu> by September 15.

DM at Kalamazoo 2019! CFP for Interdisciplinarity in Digital Medieval Studies
by Ransom, Lynn 29 Jun '18

29 Jun '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

2018 Schoenberg Symposium_Save the date!
by Ransom, Lynn 26 Jun '18

26 Jun '18

11th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age November 15-17, 2018 Illuminations: Manuscript, Medium, Message In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 11th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age. Manuscript illumination has often been considered in relation to the texts it accompanies, but rarely in terms of its interplay with other artistic media. Historically, however, the technique was closely associated with other forms of artistic expression and served as a crucial point of contact and transfer for visual motifs across space and time. The goal of this year's symposium is to examine cases of intermedial exchange through the lenses of technique, style, iconography, social context, and cultural geography, while also posing broader questions about the deep connections between the craft of illumination and other arts more widely. Of special interest will be insights gained from the technical examination of works in different media, new comparisons made possible by digital technology, and the discovery of linkages once obscured by strict historiographical divisions For more information, go to https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/events/kislak/SIMS/ljs-symposium11. Registration opens in September 2018.

Open call: Modeling Travels in History: an ORBIS-esque Hackathon @ Uni Vienna (July 18-20, 2018)
by Maria Vargha 07 Jun '18

07 Jun '18

Open call: Modeling Travels in History: an ORBIS-esque Hackathon @ Uni Vienna (July 18-20, 2018) Everyone is familiar with Google Maps—all of us are using it on a daily basis. In 2012 a group of researchers at Stanford (led by Walter Scheidel), developed Orbis (http://orbis.stanford.edu/)[1], which, one may put, applied the same geographical principles to a particular historical context. Dubbed “a Google Maps for the Roman Empire”[2], this model became a popular historical online resource and an object of envy for scholars working in other historical contexts. Inspired by Orbis, the Uni-Wien DH Team is organizing a three-day hackathon at the University of Vienna on the theme of map visualisations for historical data. One specific objective of the hackathon will be to build a sort of “Orbis-in-a-Box”—an open-source platform that would allow others to model movements of people and objects in different historical and cultural contexts. (For more details on this particular idea, see: http://kgeographer.com/orbis-in-a-box/). We are inviting interested digital humanists with an inclination for coding to partake in this 3-day event in Vienna. We are able to offer small bursaries to offset traveling costs. If you would like to attend, please send a message to maxim.romanov(a)univie.ac.at with “ORBIS-esque Hackathon” in the subject by 30 June 2018, stating your current institutional affiliation (if any) and your motivation for participating in the hackathon. Please also specify whether you are applying for a bursary. Yours truly, Uni-Wien DH Team Tara Andrews, Mária Vargha, and Maxim Romanov http://ifg.univie.ac.at/en/about-us/staff/digital-humanities/ Links & Notes [1] https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/bult.2015.1720410206 [2] https://io9.gizmodo.com/5911640/behold-orbis-a-google-maps-for-the-roman-em…
