Call for Papers: Digital Humanities in Biblical Studies and Early Jewish and Christian Studies
Dear all, with apologies for cross-posting,
The SBL program group "Digital Humanities in Biblical Studies and Early Jewish and Christian Studies" would like to advertise a call for papers for its sessions at the International SBL meeting, jointly with the European Association of Biblical Studies, in Vienna from 6-10th July 2014.
We expect papers on: (1) The creation and structuring of digital data representing the texts and artefacts relevant to Biblical Studies, Early Jewish Studies and Early Christian Studies
(2) The digital analysis of said data (linguistics, stylometrics, stemmatology, network analysis, etc.), the presentation, rendering and visualisation of data and its analysis, and critical analysis of the social and cultural aspects of the digitisation of research and society in relation to the aforementioned texts and artefacts.
For more information and to submit a proposal, please see the following webpage (mind the wrap): http://www.sbl-site.org/meetings/Congresses_CallForPaperDetails.aspx?Meeting...
The unit chairs can also be contacted there, although I too will be happy to respond to any questions. The deadline is 4th February 2014.
Many thanks, Hugh Houghton
The Digital Classicist London seminars have since 2006 provided a forum for research into the ancient world that employs digital and other quantitative methods. The seminars, hosted by the Institute of Classical Studies, are on Friday afternoons from June to mid-August in Senate House, London.
We welcome contributions from students as well as from established researchers and practitioners. We welcome high-quality papers discussing individual projects and their immediate context, but also accommodate broader theoretical consideration of the use of digital technology in Classical studies. The content should be of interest both to classicists, ancient historians or archaeologists, and to information specialists or digital humanists, and should have an academic research agenda relevant to at least one of those fields.
There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend).
To submit a proposal for consideration, email an abstract of approximately 500 words to s.mahony@ucl.ac.uk by midnight UTC on March 9th, 2014.
Further information and details of past seminars are available at: http://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/index.html
