Does one 'super-corporation' run the global economy?
by Domenico Fiormonte 31 May '14

Hi everybody, perhaps you've already seen this study. If you haven't, I think it's worth to have a look... http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354.500-revealed--the-capitalist… Original article: http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/arxiv/pdf/1107/1107.5728v2.pdf It would be interesting to use a similar methodology for mapping the network of Digital Humanities stakeholders. I suspect interesting (and disturbing) results might arise... ;-) Have a great weekend! Domenico

Non-western DH
by Øyvind Eide 29 May '14

29 May '14

Dear all, Could I ask the participants of this list for some help? As reader of mainly Northern European languages I have an overview of some of the DH world, but not all of it. I lack an oversight over what is published in other languages than English, German and the Scandinavian ones. Because of this I also lack knowledge of people publishing (mainly or exclusively) in languages such as Spanish, French, Cantonese, Japanese, and all the others. Thus, I would like to ask you all for names of people who would be able to give a broad overview over the field of DH seen from another perspective than Western Europe or North America. Self posing is accepted of course. In Norway, journalists have been given lists of female researchers organised by topic in order to avoid that the journalists always call the ones they already know, who used to be males mostly. Maybe we could think of something similar? A list of a number of DH topics and possible candidates to talk or write about it, covering as globally as possible? There are significant problems to be foreseen of course and it could lead to nasty situation -- but is it still doable? Thanks, Øyvind

by Ernesto Priego 27 May '14

Dear all, I hope you are well. I hope that those of you that went to Mexico City (my home town) last week had a great time. I have just published a quick post to share the document I created including the #2EHD (2nd Digital Humanities Meeting in Mexico City organised by RedHD and GO::DH) tweets I archived between 13/05/201418:14:42 and 25/05/2014 20:35:42 Mexico City time. I also cleaned a set so it includes only the tweets published within the timeframe of the event (19-23 May 2014). The post is at http://epriego.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/2ehd-archivo-de-tweets-del-2o-encue… where I also link to the archive. Very far from perfect but toook some energy and dedication. Hope someone finds it interesting.

Host Day of DH 2015+2016: centerNet CFP
by Bauer, Jean 14 May '14

14 May '14

To read this CFP in: Español, Français, Deutsch, Italiano, or 日本語 see http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/host-day-of-dh/ We have all experienced Day of DH, that wonderful day when digital humanists the world over get accounts on a central server to tell the world about what we, as digital humanists, do all day. Day of DH has been a centerNet initiative since 2012. MATRIX at Michigan State University has hosted Day of DH for two great years, and centerNet is accepting proposals for the next Digital Humanities center to host this worldwide event. So, now we need a new server and a group of dedicated people to continue the tradition. We are asking for a TWO YEAR hosting commitment for 2015 and 2016. MATRIX has graciously agreed to provide mentoring to the new center. Your center will need to meet these basic requirements: - install and directly manage a robust, high traffic multi-user WordPress/BuddyPress installation - create and manage your own domains - have in-house programming support to customize the look and feel of the WordPress/BuddyPress installation - be a paying member of centerNet. For more information on membership, see http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/join/ If you are interested, please send your 1 page proposal detailing your technical and managerial capacity to centerNet’s International Secretary, Jean Bauer (jean_bauer(a)brown.edu), by June 30, 2014. Bauer can read proposals in English, Spanish, or French. We will choose and announce the new Day of DH 2015 + 2016 hosting center at DH2014. centerNet is expanding Day of DH into a truly international event with accompanying events. Last June we sponsored the first DíaHD (Día de las Humanidades Digitales) for Spanish and Portuguese, hosted by Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). If you have proposals for another linguistic or regional group please let us know. http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/host-day-of-dh/ -- Jean Bauer Digital Humanities Librarian Brown University Library jean_bauer(a)brown.edu (401)863-5120

Looking for a term
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi all, I'm trying to remember a term that I heard Oyvind use recently to describe the situation when "experts from rich countries teach people in poor countries how to do things" (i.e. the "experts" set the agenda based on their own experience and assume that the knowledge direction is from rich to poor). This is a bad practice, even if it is done with good will. The term he used was something like knowledge transfer or translation (though neither of those are right). I'd never heard it before but it is apparently as well-known term in international work as something that people in the area need to be aware of and attempt to avoid. Does anybody know the term for this? -dan -- --- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539
