Launch of RIDE, a review journal for digital editions and resources
by Christiane Fritze 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

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 -- Christiane Fritze Interdisciplinary Research Association Digital Humanities in Berlin Berlin Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities http://www.ifdhberlin.de mail: fritze(a)bbaw.de Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik e.V. <http://www.i-d-e.de> Einstein-Zirkel Digital Humanities

Fwd: Cultural Literacy in Europe - Call for papers OPEN
by Arianna Ciula 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

*** Apologies for cross posting *** 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 with successful viva completed by the time of the conference. You do not need to be giving a paper/project presentation at the conference to be considered for a bursary. See details on how to apply: http://cleurope.eu/conference/bursaries/ ________________________________ Cultural Literacy in Europe is endorsed by several partners: ESF, which has funded the project since its inception, the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, hosting the first conference, as well as the Academia Europaea, ALLEA, COST, EADH, ECHIC, HERA, University of Roehampton and Warwick University’s Connecting Cultures Research Priority Programme.
