Dear all,
I hope the following call will be of interest to some of you.
The EADH brings together, and represents, the Digital Humanities in Europe.
It includes the entire spectrum of disciplines that research, develop, and
apply digital methods and technologies to the study of art, history,
language, literature, music, archeology, etc. But what is the current
situation of the field in Europe? And is it possible to document and
promote access, use and collaboration between groups and universities?
With the goal of gathering representative works, we have created a slider
on our website that will showcase initiatives for a period of time:
http://eadh.org/
For this reason we are looking for projects undertaken during the last
three years that contribute meaningfully to Digital Humanities in Europe.
If you want to add your Digital Humanities project to our website, please
fill in our web submission form with a project description and your contact
details: http://eadh.org/projects/submit-your-project
At the moment submissions are accepted in English. All submissions will be
reviewed by the EADH executive committee.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further details at
rojas.castro.antonio(a)gmail.com
All the best,

Dear all,
The editors at DHCommons are pleased to announce a *Call for Projects for
the Issue 2 of the ***DHCommons* Journal:*
"The editorial team of centerNet’s DHCommons journal is delighted to
request submissions for its second and subsequent issues. We seek mid-stage
digital projects who wish peer review and feedback that will contribute to
the project’s development.
"We especially hope to center our second issue on digital diversity. We
conceive of “diversity” to include diversity in project language, staff,
academic subject, or goals, among other possibilities. DHCommons invites
project statements in a wide variety of languages. We have an international
Advisory Board and will work with authors towards finding reviewers in the
language of submission whenever possible."
http://dhcommons.org/blog/2016/01/15/dhcommons-survey-and-cfp
*In addition to the general call, the editors seek submissions to the "How
Did They Make That?" Section: *
DHCommons Journal seeks procedural descriptions of how to launch and/or
maintain an exemplary aspect of a stable digital project for potential
publication in its second issue. We encourage you to emphasize in your
submission a component of the project that came out particularly well
and/or represented a significant challenge (e.g. data visualization,
accessibility compliance, data cleaning and preparation). Readers should be
able to come away with a sense of how they could begin to tackle a similar
challenge. In spirit, these submissions should be inspired by Miriam
Posner’s “How did they make that?” (
http://miriamposner.com/blog/how-did-they-make-that/).

<http://dhcommons.org/blog/2016/01/19/%E2%80%9Chow-did-they-make-%E2%80%9D-s…>
Submission deadline for all sections is 1 April 2016.
Also, following the launch of its first issue (http://dhcommons
.org/journal/issue-1), ****DHCommons*** is seeking feedback* from the
digital humanities community. Please see this survey
http://goo.gl/forms/9XMqxTIaEI for input.
All best wishes,

Subject: T-AP Digging into Data Challenge and Global Outlook DH
To: Alex Gil <colibri.alex(a)gmail.com>
Dear Alex,
I write to engage you and your Global Outlook DH colleagues on the new T-AP
Digging into Data Challenge
<http://diggingintodata.org/awards/2016/news/announcing-t-ap-digging-data-ch…>
.
I’m pleased to say that we have 16 funders from 11 nations all
participating in DiD. This includes countries from South America, North
America, and Europe. Many of these countries are ones I’ve never worked
with before and I’m keen to learn what kinds of terrific research their
scholars are doing! I’m also pleased that the countries represent a wide
variety of languages and cultures. Currently, some of these countries
already fund a fair amount of digital humanities and digital social science
research, while for others, this is still a very new kind of work.
So I think that global outreach will be really important. I very much want
to get researchers to form teams from across the spectrum of countries. I’d
love to see some unique partnerships we haven’t seen before, involving
people and languages we don’t always see in DH or DSS projects.
So anything you can do to help get the word out or facilitate teambuilding
would be much appreciated!
*Here’s a quick list of the countries/funders:*
Argentina: MINCyT
Brazil: FAPESP
Canada: SSHRC, NSERC, FRQ.
Finland: AKA
France: ANR
Germany: DFG
Mexico: CONACYT
Netherlands: NWO
Portugal: FCT (to be confirmed)
UK: AHRC, ESRC
US: NEH, NSF, IMLS
*Here’s a quick list of the national languages:*
Spanish
Portuguese
English
French
Finnish
German
Dutch
*Notes on Applying*
People apply in “teams.” A "team" is a group of principal investigators
from at least three of the participating countries. Because this is a
"trans-Atlantic" grant program, each team must have PIs on both sides of
the Atlantic.
*Notes on Research Topics*
Open to any research questions in the humanities and/or social sciences.
However, the idea is that you have to be using computational
methods/approaches at the large scale for your research. (And large scale
doesn’t mean big data in the scientific sense; rather it means large for
the discipline that you are working in.)
For further details, please see the website

Thanks,

*Global Digital Humanities Symposium*
*April 8-9, 2016*
Michigan State University
East Lansing, Michigan
http://msuglobaldh.org/
Free and open to the public. Registration will open in February and is
required.
Featured speakers include:
- Dorothy Kim
- Alex Gil
- Radhika Gajjala
- Hoyt Long
Digital humanities has developed in a range of disciplines and locations
across the globe. Initially emergent from initiatives in textual encoding,
database building, or critiques of design and media cultures, the field is
increasingly drawn together. Present scholarship works at the intersections
of what had been disparate approaches. Much digital humanities scholarship
is driven by an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to
cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship values digital
tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad
range of histories, as well as present geographical and cultural positions.
Projects that seek to bring grant resources from the West are often met
with well-developed and challenging critiques emergent around the globe
from communities deeply engaged in their own cultural preservation, as well
as in building relationships with other similarly engaged scholars. This
symposium, which will include an extended workshop and a mixture of
presentation types, engages squarely with issues of power, access, and
equity as they affect scholarship in the digital humanities.
Invited speakers and local presenters at this two-day symposium will
address how the interdisciplinary practices of digital humanities can and
should speak to the global cultural record and the contemporary situation
of our planet. Of particular interest is work relevant to or stemming from
challenges in the Global South. The symposium seeks to strengthen networks
of exchange among DH scholars nationally and internationally.
Themes and topics of this symposium will include:
- the practice of digital humanities across linguistic, economic, and
technological divides
- digital humanities in the light of current geopolitics
- the environmental impacts of digital humanities research
- the inflection of local accents in the practices and ethics of digital
humanities

· Identifying key individuals, institutions, and major centres of activity in this area, both in East Asia and globally
· Identifying notable and representative Digital Humanities projects and research being undertaken in this area
· Articulating how cultural/societal/technological/governmental policies may be having an impact on the adoption of computational methods in humanistic studies in East Asia
· Suggesting where possible opportunities/barriers and current trends in this area may lie, particularly in light of the Library’s services and collections.
For more details on this, and other British Library placements, and to apply, visit: http://bit.ly/1OP1Vlf
The application deadline is Friday, 19 February 2016

The Wired! Lab at Duke University invites scholars, students, and members
of the public to the following symposium:
****Apps, Maps & Models: Digital Pedagogy and Research in Art History,
Archaeology & Visual Studies****
February 22, 2016
Nasher Museum of Art, Duke University
Durham, NC, USA
http://sites.duke.edu/digsymposium/
Free & open to the public. Registration required:
http://sites.duke.edu/digsymposium/events/
This one-day symposium will examine how digital tools prompt new approaches
to teaching and research in art and architectural history, as well as in
archaeology and visual studies. Databases, mapping, modeling, animations,
and websites are also transforming the ways in which scholars and museums
can communicate information to the public. Above all, digital tools
stimulate entirely new types of research questions on the production and
dissemination of works of art and material culture, the construction of
buildings and cities, and issues of process and change over time.
*Sponsored by the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies and the
Wired! Lab.With generous support from the Duke University Office of the
Vice Provost for Research, Office of the Dean of Humanities, Office of the
Vice Provost for the Arts, and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.*
Querid@s tod@s,
en muchas ocasiones estuvimos discutiendo en esta lista, y también
privadamente o en conferencias y seminarios, la necesidad de iniciar o
potenciar la colaboración Sur-Sur en el campo de las HD.
Me imagino que muchos ya conocerán la red CLACSO (http://www.clacso.org.ar),
que origina del Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales. Me parece un
excelente modelo para empezar e pensar en algo parecido para las HD. La red
tiene también un programa de cooperación global Sur-Sur (
http://www.clacso.org.ar/sur-sur/presentacion.php?s=7&idioma=), y me
imagino que estarían muy interesados en colaborar en iniciativas comunes
relacionadas con la cultura digital y las HD. Quizás sería interesante
empezar a explorar la posibilidad de un encuentro ciencias
sociales-humanidades en el congreso DH de México de 2018?
Además sabemos que el tema de las tecnologias digitales es el terreno más
adecuado para reanudar el diálogo interdisciplinar. Esta conferencia en el
junio pasado fue un ejemplo muy claro de los solapamientos entres las dos
areas:

Mis cincos céntimos.
Auguri di buon anno a tutt*
