Book on transliteracy
by Suzana Sukovic 17 Dec '16

17 Dec '16

Dear all Apologies for cross-posting and self-promotion. *Transliteracy in complex information environments* is my book published by Chandos last month. As far as I know, this is the first book on the topic. *Elsevier SciTech Connect* published four short articles based on chapters of the book: - *What exactly is transliteracy?* <http://scitechconnect.elsevier.com/what-exactly-is-transliteracy/> - *Transliteracy: the art and craft of moving across* <http://scitechconnect.elsevier.com/transliteracy-art-of-moving-across/> - Transliteracy palettes: developing capabilities for “moving across” <http://scitechconnect.elsevier.com/transliteracy-palettes-developing-capabi…> (with a sample chapter) - *Academic city of villages <http://scitechconnect.elsevier.com/academic-city-of-villages/> * The last article may be of particular interest to this list. It discusses the model of "academic city of villages" describing how scholars in the humanities negotiate crossing of academic boundaries. The model is presented in the book chapter *Transliterate cultures, *which also considers broader social trends, particularly hybrid cultures. Details about purchase and the discount code are available from all articles.

Apologies for any cross-posting! ------------------------------------ The DH2017 Program Committee invites proposals for workshops and tutorials. Proposals may be submitted here: https://www.conftool.pro/dh2017/. The submission deadline is February 17, 2017 at 11:59 GMT. Excerpt from the DH2017 CFP <https://dh2017.adho.org/cfp/>: *Pre-Conference Workshops and Tutorials* Participants in pre-conference workshops and tutorials will be expected to register for the full conference as well as pay a small additional fee. Tutorials are normally intensive introductions to specific techniques, software packages or theoretical approaches with a small number of participants. Workshop proposals may take many forms, including proposals with a full slate of speakers and presentations, as well as proposals to issue an independent call for papers from which submissions will be chosen. Proposals should provide the following information: - Title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the digital humanities community (not more than 1500 words); - Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement summarizing their research interests and areas of expertise; - Description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); and - Special requirements for technical support. Additionally, tutorial proposals should include: - A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half-day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported. And workshop proposals must include: - Intended length and format of the workshop (minimum half-day; maximum one-and-a-half days); - Proposed budget (as workshops are expected to be self-financing); and - If the workshop is to have its own call for participation, a deadline and date for notification of acceptances, and a list of individuals who have agreed to be part of the workshop’s Program Committee. ----------------- S.E.

Global Digital Humanities Symposium at Michigan State University March 16-17, 2017 CFP Deadline Extended + Keynote Speakers Announced We are delighted to announce that the keynote speakers for the Symposium are: - Padmini Ray Murray (Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology) - Elizabeth LaPensée (Michigan State University) We are committed to bringing a wide-ranging and diverse group of participants and presenters for our conference. To further this end, there will be funds available to assist or offset the costs of travel. Please email us [dh(a)msu.edu] with any questions or clarification. Call for Proposals *Deadline (EXTENDED) to submit a proposal: Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST* msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to continue its symposium series on Global DH into its second year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions <http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/>, values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form expresses a critique of the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Michigan State University has been intentionally global <http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/> for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/>, a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/> that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships, and capacity building. WIDE <http://wide.msu.edu/> has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/>. Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by Tuesday, December 13, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations - Indigeneity - anywhere in the world - and the digital - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism - Global digital pedagogies - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context Presentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposals Proposal form: http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit/ Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator, College of Arts & Letters Michigan State University 479 West Circle Drive, Linton Hall 308A East Lansing MI 48824 517.884.1712 kmapes(a)msu.edu
