Dear all,
The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE) is happy to
announce the launch of a new review journal, RIDE. We aim to make
digital editions and resources more visible and to provide a forum in
which expert peers can evaluate and discuss the efforts of digital
editors in order to improve current practices and advance future
developments. It will do so by asking its reviewers to pay attention not
only to the traditional virtues and vices of any edition, but also to
the evolving methodology and its technical implications.
We would like to bring RIDE to the attention of GO:DH readers, as the
first issue includes a review of a Portuguese digital edition (Leal
Conselheiro). The most reviews of the first issue are written in German
and are completed by an English abstract as well as a well strucutred
factsheet of each reviewed digital edition.
You can access all reviews at: http://ride.i-d-e.de
You can find out more about the ideas behind RIDE, our methods and
intentions, in the Editorial at: http://ride.i-d-e.de/about/editorial/
We are also looking for contributions (also in your preferred language
with an English abstract). Please see: http://ride.i-d-e.de/reviewers/
With kind regards,
Christiane

An interesting article about a group with a more nation-specific focus
but similar ideas in some ways active in the natural sciences.
The series this article is found in in PLoS is amazing: peer-reviewed
accounts of meta-initiatives within Biology.

Dear all,
Below is the call for papers for the first conference of Cultural Literacy
in Europe (http://cleurope.eu) - see strand on digital textuality with
Digital Humanities related topics.
Please consider submitting a proposal for paper or project presentations
and disseminate the announcement.
Best,
Arianna
=========================================
Cultural Literacy in Europe
First International Conference – London, 16-18 April 2015
Deadline for submission of proposals: 31 August 2014
Registration will open on 1 July 2014
This international conference will bring together academics interested in
the development of Literary and Cultural Studies (LCS) in Europe and
beyond, as well as policymakers at European and national level. The
language of the Conference will be English.
First set up in 2007 by the European Science Foundation Standing Committee
for the Humanities,Cultural Literacy in Europe ran as an ESF-COST synergy
2009-2012 including international interdisciplinary workshops in four areas
of LCS research – Cultural memory, Migration & Translation, Electronic
textuality and Biopolitics, biosociality and the body. The initial two
outcomes were an ESF-COST Science Policy Briefing (
http://www.esf.org/hosting-experts/scientific-review-groups/humanities-hum/…
-
no 48), published in January 2013, and a volume,From Literature to Cultural
Literacy (
http://us.macmillan.com/fromliteraturetoculturalliteracy/NaomiSegal),
coedited by Naomi Segal and Daniela Koleva, published by Palgrave Macmillan
in July 2014.
No longer restricted to studying manuscripts, printed books or other
language based genres in a philological mode, LCS researchers are now
concerned rather with four essential conceptual elements, using them to
describe, analyse and evaluate what may broadly be called the symbolic
dimension of humanity’s relationship with material reality: textuality,
rhetoricity, fictionality, and historicity. These concepts both represent
crucial structures and processes at work in cultural objects and at the
same time offer key techniques for understanding them. Working often
together or in comparative engagement, they indicate ways in which all
knowledge, all social activity, can be read.
________________________________
The Steering Committee of the 2015 Conference invites proposals for
individual papers and project presentations.
*** Submission Topics ***
Proposals should refer to one or more of the following areas:
- Current developments and issues in LCS research in any of the four fields:
-- Cultural memory;
-- Migration & Translation;
-- Digital textuality;
-- Biopolitics, biosociality and the body.
- How LCS already relates to the social and cultural challenges of
21st-century Europe;
- How LCS can continue to do so in the future.
See also additional ideas for topics:
http://cleurope.eu/conference/call-for-papers/call-for-paper-additional-top…
*** Submission Types ***
Individual papers — These are academic papers. They will be grouped into
parallel sessions: each paper will be 15 minutes long followed by
questions. Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including
bibliography).
Project presentations — These are presentations of projects which are
successful examples of LCS research with impact on social and cultural
challenges. They will be presented in a plenary panel: each presentation
will be 10 minutes followed by discussion. Your abstract must not exceed
750 words (1000 including bibliography).
*** Submission Procedure ***
Proposals must be submitted by 31 August 2014 on-line (link for submission
available soon). Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including
bibliography).
*** Bursaries ***
A number of Early-Career Bursaries, worth £245 [€300] each, to offset
conference expenses, are available, closing date also on 31 August 2014. To
be eligible, applicants must have obtained PhD no more than 8 years ago and

Call for nominations to EADH executive committee.
The executive committee of The European Association for Digital
Humanities (EADH) will hold elections for three positions on its
executive committee (see *http://eadh.org/about/constitution
<http://eadh.org/about/constitution>* for
more information) this month and the election committee calls for
nominations. We note that we are beginning this later than usual and
later than we wished because of a large influx of new members, who
whose voting rights we wished to ensure.
Any member of the association may be nominated for election to the
committee provided (i) the nomination is supported by two members
of the association other than the nominee, (ii) the nominee confirms
his or her willingness to serve in writing, and (iii) the nomination
reaches the EADH secretary by June 30, 2014. The nominee is
encouraged to include a statement of about 200 words indicating
why he or she wishes to stand for election and how he or she
wishes to serve the EADH. Nominations may be sent to
nominations(a)eadh.org <nominations(a)allc.org> no later than midnight, June
30, 2014 (GMT).
Question about serving on the EADH committee position may be
addressed confidentially to John Nerbonne, j.nerbonne(a)rug.nl,
(EADH president).
