---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Elisabeth Burr <elisabeth.burr(a)uni-leipzig.de> Date: Tue, 26 May 2015 at 07:27 Subject: [DHSI] "Culture & Technology" - European Summer University in Digital Humanities 28th of July - 07th of August 2015 - deadline and more support To: <Institute(a)lists.uvic.ca> (Apologies for cross-posting, but feel free to forward!) *"Culture & Technology" - European Summer University in Digital Humanities (ESU DH C & T) 28th of July - 07th of August 2015, University of Leipzig http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ <http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/>* As the application phase closes soon (*31st of May 2015*) we would like to draw your attention (again) to the various types of *support *which are available for participants of the European Summer School (see: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/480): - The German Accademic Exchange Service (DAAD) offers very generous support to up to 17 alumni / alumnae of German universities. Also former Erasmus-students or students / researchers of Universities of Applied Science, Art or Music Schools qualify as alumni / alumnae as long as they have spent altogether 3 months of their life at academic institutions in Germany. - The University of Leipzig through its International Centre makes available up to 10 bursaries for members of its Eastern European partner universities. - CLARIN-DE makes available up to 13 fellowships which cover tuition fees. If funding allows an allowance of up to € 200 will be granted to cover costs of living. - The Electronic Textual Cultures Lab at the University of Victoria (etcl), in conjunction with the Digital Humanities Summer Institute offers up to 5 tuition fellowships for international graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. As ESU DH C & T is a member of the *International Digital Humanities Training Network* courses taken at the Summer University are eligible for transfer credit towards the University of Victoria Graduate Certificate in DH (http://english.uvic.ca/graduate/digital_humanities.html). The Summer University takes place across 11 whole days. The intensive programme consists of workshops, public lectures, regular project presentations, a poster session and a panel discussion. The *workshop programme* is composed of the following thematic strands: - XML-TEI encoding, structuring and rendering - Methods and Tools for the Corpus Annotation of Historical and Contemporary Written Texts - Comparing Corpora - Spoken Language and Multimodal Corpora - Python - Basic Statistics and Visualization with R - Stylometry - Open Greek and Latin - Digital Editions and Editorial Theory: Historical Texts and Documents - Spatial Analysis in the Humanities - Building Thematic Research Collections with Drupal - Introduction to Project Management Each workshop consists of a total of 16 sessions or 32 week-hours. The number of participants in each workshop is limited to 10. Workshops are structured in such a way that participants can either take the two blocks of one workshop or two blocks from different workshops. The description of all workshops can be found at http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/481 in at least two languages. Short bios in at least two languages are available of most workshop leaders at http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/node/488. Applications are considered on a rolling basis. The selection of participants is made by the Scientific Committee together with the experts who lead the workshops. Participation fees are the same as last year. The Summer University is directed at 60 participants from all over Europe and beyond. It wants to bring together (doctoral) students, young scholars and academics from the Arts and Humanities, Library Sciences, Social Sciences, Engineering and Computer Sciences as equal partners to an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience in a multilingual and multicultural context and thus create the conditions for future project-based cooperations and network-building across the borders of disciplines, countries and cultures. The Summer University seeks to offer a space for the discussion and acquisition of new knowledge, skills and competences in those computer technologies which play a central role in Humanities Computing and which determine every day more and more the work done in the Humanities and Cultural Sciences, as well as in publishing, libraries, and archives, to name only some of the most important areas. The Summer University aims at integrating these activities into the broader context of the Digital Humanities, which pose questions about the consequences and implications of the application of computational methods and tools to cultural artefacts of all kinds. In all this the Summer University aims at confronting the so-called Gender Divide , i.e. the under-representation of women in the domain of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Germany and Europe. But, instead of strengthening the hard sciences as such by following the way taken by so many measures which focus on the so-called STEM disciplines and try to convince women of the attractiveness and importance of Computer Science or Engineering, the Summer University relies on the challenges that the Humanities with their complex data and their wealth of women represent for Computer Science and Engineering and the further development of the latter, on the overcoming of the boarders between the so-called hard and soft sciences and on the integration of Humanities, Computer Science and Engineering. As the Summer University is dedicated not only to the acquisition of knowledge and skills, but wants also to foster community building and networking across disciplines, languages and cultures, countries and continents, the programme of the Summer School features also communal coffee breaks, communal lunches in the refectory of the university, and a rich cultural programme (thematic guided tours, visits of archives, museums and exhibitions, and communal dinners in different parts of Leipzig). For all relevant information please consult the Web-Portal of the European Summer School in Digital Humanities “Culture & Technology”: http://www.culingtec.uni-leipzig.de/ESU_C_T/ which will be continually updated and integrated with more information as soon as it becomes available.

Emergency Nepal 2015
by Domenico Fiormonte 23 May '15

23 May '15

Dear colleagues and friends, apologies if this email may sound off-topic to you. My work as teacher, researcher and digital humanist in recent years has brought me into contact with a variety of cultural realities. Since 2009 I have been involved with an Italian NPO working in India and Nepal (http://www.ilmondodelleidee.it). In particular, this NPO is concerned with education in a multicultural and inter-religious world. Together with other volunteers of the NPO I travelled to Katmandu and Pokhara in 2010 and 2012 and I had the opportunity to admire the competence, passion and honesty of this group of incredible people who are now gathering funds for a range of initiatives. I am aware that requests for help are constant, and it is not easy to orient oneself, but if further reassurance is required, I personally, taking advantage of a sabatical this year, will be in Nepal between September and October to assist them in their work. Thus, I will be able to report back what I have seen and the nature of our intervention. I would be grateful if you would read the letter by Viola Padovani, founder of the NPO and driving force behind the project: http://www.ilmondodelleidee.it/?cat=6&lang=en Our friends and local collaborators are safe and sound, but the effects of the second tremor were devastating. Besides the thousands of dead - we will never know the real figures, given the "invisibility" of the poor. Many stunning medieval sights in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur (the village where Bertolucci shot Little Buddha) are now just rubble. It is as if an earthquake had flattened Italian historical cities like Pisa, Arezzo e Siena all at the same time. The Boudhanath Stupa, one of Tibetan Buddhism's most important monuments, is now a pile of stones. The same goes for many other UNESCO sites. To get an idea of how things were and are now, have a look at the following photos. http://thinkprogress.org/world/2015/04/26/3651327/nepal-earthquake/ Below you will find particulars concerning payment and you can also use Pay Pal. Sincere thanks to anyone who can help us out.

University of Kansas: Digital Humanities Forum 2015 Rethinking access, inclusivity, and infrastructure in global DH practice
by Élika Ortega 18 May '15

18 May '15

Apologies for cross posting. Dear all, This is reminder for the CFP for our upcoming Fall IDRH <http://idrh.ku.edu> Digital Humanities Forum *Peripheries, barriers, hierarchies: rethinking access, inclusivity, and infrastructure in global DH practice* <http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2015>. The forum will take place on *September 25 & 26, 2015 at the University of Kansas. We are excited that *Global Outlook Digital Humanities and Library and Information Science at City University London are kindly supporting the conference.* We are also pleased to announce o*ur three fantastic keynotes: *Kim Christen Withey <http://www.kimchristen.com/about/>*, Associate Director, Digital Technology and Culture Program, Washington State University *T-Kay Sangwand <http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2015/03/people/movers-shakers-2015/t-kay-sangw…>*, Human Rights Archivist, University of Texas Libraries, Human Rights Documentation Initiative *Anita Say Chan <http://media.illinois.edu/faculty/detail/anita_chan>*, Assistant Research Professor of Communications, University of Illinois Submit 500 word abstracts to idrh(a)ku.edu by June 1st. Please share far and wide *!* All best, Élika *Peripheries, barriers, hierarchies: rethinking access, inclusivity, and infrastructure in global DH practice* <http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2015> Digital Humanities engages in many alternative scholarly forms and practices, and thus positions itself as a channel for exploring and challenging how social and institutional constructs shape traditional and digital academic discourses. Yet DH itself contains many non-neutral practices and is far from barrier-free. Digital Humanities practices, tools, infrastructures, and methodologies often embed a variety of assumptions that shape what kind of scholarship gets made, studied, and communicated; how it is represented to the world; and who can participate in that making and communication. A truly accessible DH goes beyond technical standards and provides people and communities of different abilities, genders, sexual orientations, languages and cultures--and of varying levels of access to technology and infrastructure--the capacity to shape and pursue scholarship that addresses their own interests and needs. In a global context, the expansion of DH practices around the world and beyond the academy can reveal the ways in which dominant, hegemonic practices within the field tend to reinforce the very inequalities DH attempts to correct through its embrace of accessibility and knowledge production. Thus, specific practices in Global DH can call attention to the explicit and implicit contradictions in broader DH practices. Our 2015 Digital Humanities Forum will take a critical approach to exploring peripheries, barriers and hierarchies of digital humanities practice in a global context, identifying those assumptions, and advocating and showcasing alternative practices to advance the field. We will critically engage these issues by exploring themes such as inclusivity, accessibility, global perspectives, decolonization, and democratization as they relate to digital humanities practice and infrastructure. The Forum will take place on Saturday, September 26, following a full day of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on Friday, September 25. We seek projects, research results, or critical/theoretical approaches to topics such as (but not limited to) the following: - How do embedded assumptions of DH practice shape what gets made, studied, and communicated; - The limitations of digital structures and infrastructures such as code/databases/ operating systems/interfaces/standards to represent or highlight cultural/gender/linguistic specificities, and efforts to get past these limitations; - Inclusion and exclusion in digital collections: archival silences, massive digital libraries, digital recovery projects; - "Accessible DH" that includes different abilities, languages, genders and sexual orientations, socio-economic conditions, and access to technical knowledge and infrastructure; - Case studies of projects focusing on accessibility and actively focusing on openness; - Case studies of indigenous, gendered, transnational, or “Global South” DH; - The concept and practice of minimal computing (sustainable computing done under some set of significant constraints of hardware, software, education, network capacity, power, or other factors); - Projects exploring data in languages other than English or working towards multilingual presentation; - Critical making, hacking, tinkering, and non-textual modes of knowledge production; - "Soft infrastructures" such as ideas of ownership, copyright, and intellectual property and their impact on global DH practice. DH Forum best student paper award: Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. One student presentation will be selected for an award based on the quality, originality, clarity of the written abstract, along with its alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The awardee will be presented with a check for $400 and award certificate at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the award. For a paper to be eligible, at least fifty percent of the research reported in the paper must be performed by one or more student authors, and the student must be the primary presenter of the paper at the conference. Please submit abstracts of 500 words maximum in PDF format to idrh(a)ku.edu by June 1 Élika Ortega, Ph.D. Postdoctoral Researcher Institute for Digital Research in the Humanities Watson Library 450, University of Kansas elikaortega.net | @elikaortega

【Call for Papers】Focusing on East Asia: DADH 2015, Taipei, Taiwan_deadline: July 15, 2015
by Jieh Hsiang 17 May '15

*Call for Papers* *Focusing on East Asia:**The 6th International Conference of Digital Archives and Digital Humanities 2015* http://www.dadh.digital.ntu.edu.tw December 1-2, 2015 National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan *Introduction* Digital Humanities is the child born out of employing rapidly advanced information technologies to systematically manage and explore the enormous amount of data accumulated from various research fields. In general, Digital Humanities refers to the application of information techniques and the data manage system that comes with it, to investigate issues in humanities, in particularly those that are considered difficult, or even next to impossible to observe, describe, or analyze without the aid of information techniques. For example, digital technology can deal with the cross-area studies of broader geographical areas, or the diachronic and comparative researches in longitudinal dimension. Through constant exchange of ideas between scholars of both humanities and information technologies, the development of Digital Humanities has now gone beyond simple data mining and exploring new research themes within one’s own research field. It is aimed to become an interdisciplinary approach that will intertwine knowledge from various research fields, and integrate different types of data and analytical techniques, in order to develop new research topics and methodologies, and to motivate both reflections on and paradigm shift of humanities. Looking from a broader sense, information technologies and digital data have already had very profound impacts on contemporary culture and in our daily lives. Therefore, issues such as how exactly the application of information techniques and digital data have impacted which aspect of contemporary lives; how they have inspired creativities in societal movements, cultural forms, and artistic expressions; and what will our lives will be like living in a digital world in the future, have become important research themes in Digital Humanities. The theme of this year's conference, “Focusing on East Asia,” is founded on this area’s specific languages, histories, social lives, and cultures different from the Western and shape the unique DH research concerns and topics in East Asia. We welcome submissions on featured topics and researches based on the particularities of languages, texts, and social-historical contexts in East Asia. The aims of this conference are: to engage more researchers to participate in the ongoing dialogs that will eventually lead to the integration of expertise from various disciplines, to stimulate more new research themes, and ultimately to contribute to the growth and flourishing of the East Asia’s research community of Digital Humanities. *Topics of interest* We invite submissions of abstracts relating (but not limited) to the following aspects of digital humanities, especially encourage papers dealing with texts or data from East Asia (including Taiwan, Japan, Korea, China, Mongolia, Vietnam and Southeast Asia): - Development of digital technologies and their applications to help advancing humanities studies (including digital media, data mining, software design, and modeling, etc.). - Interdisciplinary research and humanistic research in literature studies, linguistics, culture, and history that are conducted with the use of digital data or digital technology. - Research related to the impact of digital technologies on social, institutional, and cultural aspects, as well as its impact on globalization and multiculturalism. - Innovative forms of digital arts such as music, film and theatre; and digital applications such as digital design and new media. - Other DH-related topics. *Submission Guidelines* - The call for papers is open for all who are interested. - All submissions are to be done online (website: http://www.dadh.digital.ntu.edu.tw/up_index.php?LangType=en). - Submitted abstracts should include title, an abstract of 1,000-3,000 words, 3-5 keywords, as well as the author’s name, affiliation & position, contact number, and email. The papers will be reviewed. Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to submit the full papers by October 1, 2015. - Publications: A Conference Proceeding will be distributed during the conference. The authors of the accepted papers will be invited to submit a revised version after the conference. If accepted, it will be included in the *Series on Digital Humanities v. 7 *published by the National Taiwan University Press. *Important Dates* - Abstract Submission Deadline: Midnight Taiwan time, July 15, 2015. - Notification of Acceptance: August 14, 2015. *Organizer* Research Center for Digital Humanities, National Taiwan University, Taiwan *Co-organizer <http://terms.naer.edu.tw/detail/1502500/>s* Department of Computer Science, College of Science, National Cheng- chi University, Taiwan The Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, Taiwan Dharma Drum Institute of Liberal Arts, Taiwan *Conference Secretariat *Research Center for Digital Humanities, National Taiwan University, Taiwan Tel: 886-2-33669846 Email: dadhic(a)gmail.com Address：No. 1, Sec. 4, Roosevelt Road, Taipei, Taiwan
