Fwd: CFP: Social, Digital, Scholarly Editing Conference, Saskatoon July 11-13
by Alex Gil 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi all, Hola a todos, This invitation from Peter Robinson is particularly open to "proposals from the GO::DH (Global Outlook::Digital Humanities) community, addressing digital scholarly editing in a global context." If you are a digital editor, I would encourage you to apply. I know Peter has funds that can help you get to Saskatoon. Esta invitación de Peter Robinson es para editores que trabajen en el medio digital. Como dice su mensaje, le interesa mucho las aplicaciones del grupo GO::DH. Peter tiene fondos para cubrir los gastos de viaje y hospedaje. Yo estaré en la reunión. A. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Robinson <P.M.Robinson(a)bham.ac.uk> Date: Mon, Apr 8, 2013 at 9:21 AM Subject: CFP: Social, Digital, Scholarly Editing Conference, Saskatoon July 11-13 To: TEXTUALSCHOLARSHIP(a)jiscmail.ac.uk Proposals are invited for the Social, Digital, Scholarly Editing conference, to be held in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, from 11-13 July 2013. This conference comes at a critical inflection point in the transformation of scholarly editing caused by the two massive shifts of the digital revolution: the movement of all data into digital form and the creation of new modes of collaboration. For the first: the creation of massive amounts of data in digital form has already transformed the basic materials of scholarly editing, while digital tools offer new methods for exploration and publication. For the second: where scholarly editing in the past has been typically the work of a single dedicated scholar, the development of social media opens up the possibilities of collaborative work across whole communities. These changes affect every aspect of scholarly editing. This conference will explore the theoretical, practical, and social implications of these changes. Proposers accepted from this open call will join some thirty invited conference participants, drawn from scholarly editing, digital humanities, and the 'citizen scholar' movement. Confirmed participants are Barbara Bordalejo, Susan Brown, Ben Brumfield, Gabriel Egan, Paul Eggert, Paul Flemons, Alex Gil, James Ginther, Tuomas Heikkilä, Fotis Jannidis, Laura Mandell, Murray McGillivray, Brent Nelson, Catherine Nygren, Dan O'Donnell, Roger Osbourne, Wendy Phillips-Rodriguez, Elena Pierazzo, Ken Price, Peter Robinson, Geoffrey Rockwell, Peter Shillingsburg, Ray Siemens, Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Joshua Sosin, Melissa Terras, Edward Vanhoutte, and Joris van Zundert (to be confirmed: Hans Gabler and Jerome McGann). The conference will be preceded by a one-day workshop on collaborative editing systems. Proposals should focus on some aspect of contemporary digital scholarly editing. We welcome descriptions of current projects, theoretical or speculative discussions, bibliographic work, or any aspect of scholarly digital editing. Papers considering scholarly editing in a communal, collaborative context are particularly encouraged. Proposals will be accepted under two strands: one for students of graduate and doctoral programs, one for all others. We particularly welcome proposals from the GO::DH <http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/> (Global Outlook::Digital Humanities) community, addressing digital scholarly editing in a global context. We will able to offer financial support for accepted proposals, if needed, in the form of bursaries and/or funding for all travel and other costs, and will give preference in allocating funding to proposers from circumstances where support is rarely or never available. As well as a 500 word abstract, proposers should submit a cover letter explaining their interest in the conference theme, why they want to attend and indicate what level of support (if any) they might need to come to the conference. Proposal submission will close on 26 April; successful proposers will be notified by 10 May 2013. The call is at https://ocs.usask.ca/conf/index.php/sdse/sdse13/schedConf/cfp.; the conference website is at https://ocs.usask.ca/conf/index.php/sdse/sdse13. On behalf of the conference organizing committee: Barbara Bordalejo, Susan Brown, Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Murray McGillivray, Brent Nelson, Dan O'Donnell, Peter Robinson, Geoffrey Rockwell, Ray Siemens

Progress Report: THATCamp Caribe 2 (aka THATCampCuba)
by Alex Gil 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hi all, We have great news to report! Casa de las Americas recently agreed to host the event. We were waiting for confirmation before delving into the planning in earnest. The event will likely take place on the second week of November. Our organizing committee is fully formed, with two teams, one in Cuba, one international. The Cuban team:Sandra Alvarez RamírezYasmín S. Portales MachadoMilena Recio SilvaLuis Rondón PazMaité Hernádez Lorenzo The International team:Sonya Donaldson (Jamaica)Rachel Finn (USA)Amanda French (USA)Alex Gil (Republica Dominicana)James Neal (USA)Amilcar Priestley (Panama)Mamyrah Prosper (Haiti)Marta S. Rivera Monclova (Puerto Rico)German Vargas (Puerto Rico) The Cuban team will be in charge of local logistics and local advertising. We will try to arrange for hotels and room rentals (a more economic option). Casa de las Americas is centrally located and it is easy to reach it from many different quarters. Local advertising will hopefully draw campers from the cities and the countryside. The international team will be in charge of fundraising and running the site. The site will be run in both Spanish and English. We are still working out the translation duties. We will also try to have a version of the site that can operate on low bandwidths. Fundraising is a major goal of this THATCamp because it helps us attract scholars and students from the Caribbean. We hope to be even more aggressive than on last year’s THATCamp. We are also placing few limits on the range of possible funders. We do have to consider that some funders are out of the question because on their relationship to Cuba. The whole team will soon meet to decide on registration dates and admission caps! Stay tuned for more.
