L'histoire contemporaine à l'ère numérique / Contemporary history in the digital era.
by Frédéric Clavert 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Dear members, (sorry for cross-posting) I am pleased to announce that the book that I have co-edited with Serge Noiret (Florence) is now available (softcover and soon ebook): Clavert, F., Noiret, S. (2013). L'histoire contemporaine à l'ère numérique. Contemporary history in the digital age. Bruxelles: Peter Lang. 2013. "Digital practices in the field of history have become more and more widespread in recent decades, but contemporary historians have often tended to remain on the sidelines of this trend. This book, which covers a wide range of digital practices, tools and methods, will serve both as a solid grounding for historians keen to learn how information technology can be applied to contemporary history, and as a useful tool for researchers and lecturers who already have a degree of experience in this area. It will enable scholars to compare and further their practices in the area of digital humanities, providing a comprehensive vision of the emerging field of digital history."

Digital Scholarly Edition Initial Training Network
by Alex Gil 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

[Messaggio de Domenico Fiormonte - Message from Domenico Fiormonte] Cari amici e amiche: Come alcun* di voi avranno letto su Humanist è stato ufficialmente lanciato il Network europeo DiXiT (Digital Scholarly Edition Initial Training Network): http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/ Il network è formato da dieci istituzioni leader in Europa, fra cui DigiLab La Sapienza, di cui sono rappresentante nel progetto. Obiettivo del network, come dice il titolo, è essenzialmente la formazione di giovani ricercatori nel campo dell'edizione scientifica digitale. Il programma si articola perciò su due fronti principali: l'offerta di sostanziose borse di studio (17 in tutto) e l'organizzazione di eventi formativi. Sebbene i requisiti siano ancora in fase di negoziazione, possono fare domanda dottorandi/post-doc di qualsiasi nazionalità: http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/fellows.html Vi invito dunque a tenere d'occhio il sito per quando, a ottobre, usciranno i bandi. Mi auguro che vi saranno numerose candidature di validi ricercatori e ricercatrici anche provenienti da paesi e/o istituzioni non coinvolti direttamente nel progetto. Un saluto cordiale, Domenico Fiormonte [English] As some of you may have read on Humanist, the European Network Dixit (Digital Scholarly Edition Initial Training Network) was officially launched : http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/ The network consists of ten leading institutions in Europe, including DigiLab La Sapienza, which I represent in the project. The aim of the network, as the title says, is essentially the training of young researchers in the creation of digital editions. The program mainly does two things: it offers substantial scholarships (17 in all) and it organizes training events. Although the requirements are still under negotiation, PhD students and post-docs of all nationalities can learn more here: http://dixit.uni-koeln.de/fellows.html I invite you to visit the site often in October, when the calls will be announced. I hope that there will be numerous applications from qualified researchers and scientists also from countries and / or institutions not directly involved in the project. All the best, Domenico Fiormonte
