CfP, Symposium: Versioning Cultural Objects, 1.-2. Dec., Maynooth
by Roman Bleier 21 Jul '16

21 Jul '16

Symposium: Versioning Cultural Objects: Concepts, Structures, and Expressions ================================================================ Date: 1-2 December 2016 Place: An Foras Feasa, Maynooth University, Ireland Overview ------------ The aim of this two-day symposium is to bring together experienced and early-stage researchers to engage with the versioning of cultural objects. The version of a cultural object is identified, articulated, and analysed through diverse mechanisms in different fields of study. The study of versions allows for the investigation of the creative processes behind the conception of the object, a closer inspection of the socio-political contexts that affect it, and may even provide the means to investigate the provenance and the object’s circulation. The symposium will provide a platform for scholars from different research areas to exchange ideas across different forms of media, including text, image, and sound. The proposed symposium considers the term “versioning” in the broadest sense; while the understanding of versions differ in disciplines, this dialogue will explore the convergences and variances in its conception. The conversation will highlight the range and depth of existing studies and provide an inter-disciplinary understanding of the term. The symposium will focus on three primary areas: • What is a version? • Methods used in the electronic modelling of versions of cultural objects • The representation of these digital versions Application Process -------------------------- Proposals of up to 500 words are invited by 15 August 2016 from any disciplinary area which engage with either theoretical or practical applications of versioning. The symposium aims to challenge existing silos of disciplinary knowledge providing a platform for dialogue and debate, creating a more coherent understanding of the subject. We welcome applications from Irish, European, and international researchers and applications are welcome from both project-based and theoretical research. In particular, we encourage students and graduates of the Irish Digital Arts and Humanities (DAH) PhD Programme to apply. Abstracts should be sent to the organisers by 15 August 2016 To: Vinayak.dasGupta(a)nuim.ie; roman.bleier(a)uni-graz.at Areas may include, but are not limited to: Textual studies, Variorum editions and collation methods, Musicology, Soundscapes, Film, studies, Religious studies, Bible studies and theology, Classical studies, Archaeology, Literary criticism, Translation studies, Manuscript studies, Oral history, Art history, Art criticism, Library Sciences, and Archiving Format --------- The symposium will be limited to 12 participants who will be selected based on a short abstract. Upon selection, participants will be asked to submit an extended abstract of 3000 words or a draft paper (no more than 8000 words) by 31 October 2016, which will be circulated to symposium participants in advance. The working paper will then be presented and discussed at the symposium. Additionally, every participant will be asked to read two working papers in advance of the symposium, review and prepare questions and comments for the authors. Completed articles will be considered for publication in an edited volume after the symposium. Deadlines ------------- 15 August: deadline for submission of abstracts 31 August: confirmation of acceptance 31 October: deadline for submission of extended abstract/draft paper Bursaries ------------ Bursaries for accommodation and transportation are available on request. For further details, please contact the organisers.

CFP: Technical Communication in the Middle Ages (date correction)
by M. Wendy Hennequin 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

With apologies for cross posting and the initial date error; proposals are due Sept. 15, 2016. CFP: Technical Communication in the Middle Ages International Congress on Medieval Studies (Kalamazoo, 2017) Proposals due: September 15, 2016 Submit to Wendy Hennequin (mwhennequin(a)gmail.com) Scholars have long recognized Chaucer’s “Treatise on the Astrolabe” as an early technical document, yet relatively few medieval texts have been discussed as specimens of technical communication. This session seeks to consider the traditions and conventions of medieval technical communication, as well as the connections between medieval and contemporary technical writing. Possible texts for consideration might include (but are not limited to) penitential and conduct manuals, monastic rules, business correspondence, medical treatises, scientific and pseudo-scientific manuals (including alchemical and astrological ones), cookery books, law codes, and government and military documents. Papers should consider the texts as technical communication, but may focus on any aspect, including writing, layout, design, etc. Please submit proposals to Wendy Hennequin (mwhennequin(a)gmail.com) by September 15, 2016. -- Dr. M.

Seminar: Using Digital Tools in Reading and Prose Composition Classes
by Vitale, Valeria 18 Jul '16

18 Jul '16

Digital Classicist London Seminar 2016 Institute of Classical Studies Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU Friday July 22nd at 16:30 in room 234 Dr Stelios Chronopoulos (Freiburg) New Life into Old Courses? Using Digital Tools in Reading and Prose Composition Classes Is it possible and desirable to use treebanking and translation alignment tools in courses of prose composition and close reading? This seminar will present an experiment of introducing such tools in Greek courses at the University of Freiburg. The hypothesis is that digital tools extend the ways we interact with texts both as readers and writers, and enhance consciousness, thus promoting learning. We will test this hypothesis and reflect upon the possibilities of combining analogic reading with analysis through digital tools and the impact this combination may have on our understanding either of an original text or of a text we produce for exercise purposes. Recommended readings: http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2016-08sc.html The seminar will be livestreamed at: https://youtu.be/dfUOpT4gyg4 ALL WELCOME Valeria Vitale PhD candidate King's College London Department of Digital Humanities 26-29 Drury Lane, Boris Karloff Building WC2B 5RL London UK +44(0)7413335591
