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

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

Dear colleagues,
Last year, I annouced you the opening of a new MA in Digital and Computational Humanities at Paris Sciences & Lettres University. After its first year of existence, I am glad to announce that we are recruiting students again for next year. We would be very glad to receive applications from students with a background in medieval studies, a field strongly present in the institutions that participate to this degree (École des chartes, École pratique des hautes études, École des hautes études en sciences sociales and École normale supérieure).
This degree is research-oriented, and aims to be at the intersection of the humanities and data science. Students follow half their courses in the field of the humanities in which they specialise themselves (we have classes on a great variety of subjects, from palaeography, diplomatics, philology, codicology, epigraphy, to historical anthropology or economic history, and a variety of geographic and linguistic areas, from Latin to Hebrew or medieval Hindi). In the other half of their courses, we teach them data manipulation, programming (Python, R), deep learning, statistics and mathematical modelling.
The deadline for application is the 29 june 2018, with a possible second row of applications in september.
The English prospectus can be found at: http://www.chartes.psl.eu/sites/default/files/atoms/files/flyer-master-huma…
And more information here: http://www.chartes.psl.eu/en/cursus/ma-digital-humanities
Most courses are in French, and a familiarity of the applicants with the language is advised, though there are some opportunities for students to follow courses of French as a foreign language.
Do not hesitate to forward to anyone that might be interested.
Best wishes,
Jean-Baptiste Camps
*Embracing customization in post-conflict reconstruction*

In this paper, I consider how customisable approaches to reconstruction might be able to embrace the multivocality and flexibility needed to aid recovery following conflict. I start with the debate over accuracy concerning the Institute of Digital Archaeology’s replica Palmyra arch. I argue that, instead, we need to ask why we are creating reconstructions and for whom. I then look at examples from creative practice, including Michael Rakowitz and Morehshin Allahyari, as inspiration for more participatory and flexible reconstructions.
