16 Feb '16

**apologies for cross posting**---To all digital humanists or people working on digital humanities projects, Please, save the date and join us for the annual Day of Digital Humanities that will take place on April 8th, 2016. A Day in the Life of the Digital Humanities (Day of DH) is a project looking at a day in the work life of people involved in digital humanities computing. Every year it draws people from across the world together to document, with text and image, the events and activities of their day. The goal of the project is to weave together the journals of participants into a resource that seeks to answer, “Just what do digital humanists really do?" This year, the event will be hosted on behalf of centerNet at the Laboratorio de Innovación en Humanidades Digitales (LINHD) in Madrid. For this reason, want to innovate and make the day more collaborative. We will boost multilingual participation and groupal cooperative activities. We are working on the website now, www.dayofdh2016.uned.es which will be opened for registration soon. If you have any suggestions or ideas in the meantime, please, let us know! Yours, The LINHD team Twitter: @dayofdh and #dayofDH Elena González-Blanco García Dpto. de Literatura Española y Teoría de la Literatura, Despacho 722Facultad de Filología, UNED Paseo Senda del Rey 7 28040 MADRID tel. 91 3986873

Registration Open - Global Digital Humanities Symposium, April 8-9, 2016 @ Michigan State University
by Kristen Mapes 12 Feb '16

12 Feb '16

Registration is now open! *Global Digital Humanities Symposium* *April 8-9, 2016* Michigan State University East Lansing, Michigan http://msuglobaldh.org/ Free and open to the public. Register at http://msuglobaldh.org/registration/ Featured speakers include: - Dorothy Kim - Alex Gil - Radhika Gajjala - Hoyt Long Digital humanities has developed in a range of disciplines and locations across the globe. Initially emergent from initiatives in textual encoding, database building, or critiques of design and media cultures, the field is increasingly drawn together. Present scholarship works at the intersections of what had been disparate approaches. Much digital humanities scholarship is driven by an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of histories, as well as present geographical and cultural positions. Projects that seek to bring grant resources from the West are often met with well-developed and challenging critiques emergent around the globe from communities deeply engaged in their own cultural preservation, as well as in building relationships with other similarly engaged scholars. This symposium, which will include an extended workshop and a mixture of presentation types, engages squarely with issues of power, access, and equity as they affect scholarship in the digital humanities. Invited speakers and local presenters at this two-day symposium will address how the interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities can and should speak to the global cultural record and the contemporary situation of our planet. Of particular interest is work relevant to or stemming from challenges in the Global South. The symposium seeks to strengthen networks of exchange among DH scholars nationally and internationally. Themes and topics of this symposium will include: - the practice of digital humanities across linguistic, economic, and technological divides - digital humanities in the light of current geopolitics - the environmental impacts of digital humanities research - the inflection of local accents in the practices and ethics of digital humanities Find out more about the symposium at http://msuglobaldh.org/about/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Specialist College of Arts and Letters Michigan State University 718-216-5695 kristenmapes.com kmapes(a)msu.edu kmapes86(a)gmail.com

CfP: "Digital Scholarly Editions as Interfaces" (Graz 23./24.9.2016)
by Georg Vogeler 04 Feb '16

04 Feb '16

Dear Digital Medievalists, the Centre for Information Modelling in Graz is organizing an event in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programm "DiXiT" and our fellow digital medievalis Dot Porter will give of the key notes: Call for papers: *Digital Scholarly Editions as Interfaces* International symposium, 23.-24.9.2016, Graz (Austria) Scholarly editions intermediate between the texts and their readers, which does not change with their transfer to digital media. Over the past two decades, research on digital scholarly editions (DSE) was deeply engaged with the impacts of the digital medium on the critical representation of texts and the changing conditions for the editor. However, less research has been done on the roles of the readers, or - as they are called in the digital environment - the users. A critical examination of the topic has already been demanded by Jerome McGann in 2001, it was repeated by Hans Walter Gabler in 2010, and was taken up more recently by Patrick Sahle (2013) and Elena Pierazzo (2015). User studies are rare, and systematic considerations of principles of Human Computer Interaction are still marginal in theory and practice of DSE. In addition, the conceptualization of the DSEs as interfaces between machines could be intensified. However, the discourse on DSEs benefits from considering paradigms of interface design, from reflecting on the cultural and historical context of the visual appearance of scholarly editions and their affordances, as well as from examining the interactions between user and resource. The symposium will discuss the relationship between digital scholarly editing and interfaces by bringing together experts of DSEs and Interface Design, editors and users of editions, web designers and developers. It will include the discussion of (graphical/user) interfaces of DSEs as much as conceptualizing the digital edition itself as an interface. In this context, we are interested in contributions to the following questions and beyond: - How can DSEs take full advantage of their digital environment without losing the traditional affordances that makes an edition "scholarly"? What is the role of skeuomorphic tropes and metaphors like footnotes, page turn and index in the design of DSEs and concerning the user interaction? - Do interfaces of DSEs succeed in transferring the complexity of the underlying data models? - Plurality in representation is a core feature of DSE. How do interfaces realize this plurality? Do we need different interfaces for different target audiences (i.e. scholars, digital humanists, students, public)? - How can user interfaces of DSEs succeed in transmitting Human Computer Interaction design principles like âaestheticsâ, âtrustâ, and "satisfaction"? - Citability and reliability are core requirements of scholarly work. Which user interface elements support them? How can we encourage the user to critically engage with the DSE? - What are the users of a DSE actually doing: are they reading the text or searching and analyzing the data? - Can we conceptualize machines as users? How can we include application programming interfaces (APIs) in the discussion on DSEs as interfaces? - Does the development of user interfaces for DSEs keep up with the rising distribution of small handheld devices? Will interfaces on tablets greatly differ from those on computer screens and perhaps encourage a larger readership? Please submit your proposal for a talk at the symposium until April 17, 2016 to dixit(a)uni-graz.at. The proposal should not exceed 700 words. There are funds to reimburse travel and accommodation costs. Please indicate with your submission if you need financial support.

CfP Illuminated Charters – from the Margins of two Disciplines to the Core of Digital Humanities (Vienna, 12-14 Sept 16)
by Georg Vogeler 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Call for Papers Illuminated Charters – from the Margins of two Disciplines to the Core of Digital Humanities International Conference, Vienna, 12–14 september 2016 Deadline: 30. März 2016/30 march 2016 Among the entire production of acts throughout the Middle Ages, illuminated charters, i. e. legal documents featuring drawn or painted decoration, never had more but a marginal share of the entire production of acts throughout the Middle Ages, yet through their sumptuous external make-up they were undoubtedly adding to the solemnity and publicity of the deeds. In spite of their outstanding and precious character, decidedly remote from the everyday business of issuing charters in princely, ecclesiastic and private chanceries, they are a diplomatic phenomenon common to the whole of Europe. Considering their ambiguous status as a legal document and a piece of art at the same time, their study challenges skilled historians and diplomatists and able art historians alike. In contrast to illuminated manuscripts whose date can often only roughly be determined, they are usually bearing their precise date of issue, thus offering to experts of book painting extraordinary possibilities of dating and localising artistic production of sometimes remarkable quality. Whereas the esthetic and decorative aspects of illuminated charters ensured these documents at least from the 19th century onwards an overproportioned appearance in exhibition catalogues, profound scholarly interest in the topic from the viewpoint of history and diplomatic as well as art history remained rather weak or restricted to certain types of relevant sources such as collective indulgences or grants of arms. Only during the last years research has become more conscious of the richness and scholarly potential of the topic and the impact of more detailed and broad-scale investigations. Attention was paid to the representative function of decorated charters and the (mutual) engagement of issuer and recipient/beneficiary/commissioner of the act in the process of decoration. On the one hand, any attempt to describe the relation of text and image in order to determine the performative impact of illuminated charters in general remains provisional, due to the wide temporal and regional dissemination of relevant stocks which still require deep-digging exploration of archival holdings and collections of libraries and museums wordwide. With, on the other hand, an ever increasing number of online resources provided by archives and consequently improved research tools as well as new fields of research, studies into illuminated charters prove to be a rewarding topic for the whole range of the Digital Humanities and Digital Diplomatic research area. The use of modern information technologies for structured data creation and archival storage helps to maintain consistency and enables linking between data resources and user defined visualization. Building upon digital tools this aim can be achieved in collaborative virtual research environments. The forthcoming conference, organised within the project “Illuminated Charters as Gesamtkunstwerk” (http://illuminierte-urkunden.uni-graz.at), funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF (P 26706) and run at the Institute for Medieval Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the Centre for Information Modeling at the University of Graz, aims to take serious the variety of the topic, to bring together the multitude of scholarly attitudes towards illuminated charters and to explore the range of methods applied for their investigation. It is settled at the intersection of diplomatic, art history and Digital Humanities. All relevant paper proposals are welcome, but special focusses are expected to be on: - The representative, commemorative and performative function of illuminated charters - The involvement of issuer and recipient into the process of drawing up and decorating the acts, specific from case to case - Illuminated charters emanating from the papal chanceries or from the environment of the Curia (e.g. collective indulgences) or grants of arms from the imperial chancery as mass phenomena - The application of pattern recognition tools for automatic queries of illuminated charters in databases - New (statistical) approaches towards the temporal and regional distribution of different types of decorated acts - Signs of authentication and graphic symbols (esp. notarial signs) displayed by charters as an artistic problem - The design of (archival) databases of illuminated charters and similar objects The conference languages are German and English. The admission of papers in other languages is up to the organisers. Papers should not exceed 30 minutes in length. Please send an abstract of no more than 300 words and a short CV (of five lines max.) with the reference “paper conference illuminated charters” to illuminierteurkunden(a)gmail.com by 30 march 2016. Travel and accommodation costs will be reimbursed to speakers by the organisers. Reference / Quellennachweis: CFP: Illuminierte Urkunden (Wien, 12-14 Sept 16).
