CFP: Visual Digital Humanities: Representing and Interpreting Humanities Data, October 13-14, Tartu, Estonia
by Mari Sarv 21 Jun '16

21 Jun '16

Digital Humanities in Estonia A° 2016 Visual Digital Humanities: Representing and Interpreting Humanities Data October 13-14, Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu, Estonia The digital age has brought along an increased multimediality of communication. This concerns the source data in the field of humanities as well as the ways to perform research and represent the results. On the one hand humanities have to tackle the challenge of capturing the ever-changing and fluently moving non-textual sources in order to organise them into reproducible research data. On the other hand computational analysis enables us to rework the data on a much bigger scale. The creative nature of digital humanities commits researchers to explore, discover and develop new possibilities for data analysis. Visual representation of data (e.g. using networks, timelines and word clouds for representing data) significantly enhances the interpretation potential of the material. Visualisation methods developed in other disciplines such as GIS mapping, graphs and charts have already been taken up in the humanities. However, there is a need to reconsider the assumptions that underlie the use of tools for data display and interpretation developed in other disciplines in order to adjust them to for working with artistic, literary, musical and historical corpora. New opportunities further enhance the possibilities to obtain meaningful insights using automated methods that complement results from more detailed but smaller scale studies. This must be done keeping in mind that qualitative data requires methods for presenting ambiguity and uncertainty in a nuanced way. The display of data from the humanities must be rooted in and appropriate to the interpretative activity being undertaken. Hence, researchers in the humanities need to engage computer scientists to allow for a more informed and accurate use of existing tools and the development of new ones. The conference is the fourth in the series of conferences on digital humanities in Estonia, and is in this year co-organized by the Estonian Society for Digital Humanities, the Estonian Literary Museum and the Centre of Excellence in Estonian Studies. Traditionally, the conference includes a panel that introduces and discusses the developments in Estonian digital humanities. We welcome contributions in the following areas of digital humanities: – mining, managing, analysing visual data; – interpretation of data and knowledge discovery; – visualization of various types of data (spatial, historical, folkloric, linguistic, etc.); – ideas, outlooks, developments and critique of digital humanities in Estonia and elsewhere. We welcome workshop and seminar proposals (to be held as a one- or half-day event after the conference). Please submit a proposal that contains your full name, institutional and disciplinary affiliation, a brief academic CV, the title of your paper and an abstract of 200-250 words (including references) by August 1, 2016. Authors will be informed about acceptance by August 25, 2016. The working language of the conference is English. Please send your proposals to: digitaalhumanitaaria(a)gmail.com.

Postgraduate degree in Cultural and Creative Tourism - Digital Humanities
by Dalia Guerreiro 15 Jun '16

15 Jun '16

The European University is launching a postgraduate degree in Cultural and Creative Tourism. The course aims to update the knowledge and skills of cultural mediation in heritage sites and museums, according to the creative tourism requirements and parameters. Given the most sought-after tourist experiences are related to culture and authenticity, storytelling and pictographic methodologies emerge as new procedures of tourism promotion, cultural mediation and immersive experience. Therefore, the course proposes subjects in the traditional fields of history, art history, ethnography and literature, as well as heritage science, culture studies and digital humanities. http://amusearte.hypotheses.org/1343 -- *Dália Guerreiro* Gmail <mailto:damague@gmail.com>; Mail UÉ <mailto:dguerreiro@uevora.pt> CIDEHUS-UÉ/FCT <http://www.cidehus.uevora.pt/> Sócia fundadora da AHDig <http://ahdig.org/> Blogue Bibliotecas e Humanidades Digitais <https://bdh.hypotheses.org/> Twitter: @DaliaGuerreiro <https://twitter.com/DaliaGuerreiro>

Reminder: CFP: Places, Spaces, Sites: Mapping Critical Intersections in DH
by Élika Ortega 03 Jun '16

03 Jun '16

(apologies for cross posting) Dear all, This is a reminder that we are accepting proposals until *June 10 *for the annual Digital Humanities Forum 2016 at the University of Kansas which will take place on September 30 and October 1. Please share far and wide! Full details http://idrh.ku.edu/dhforum2016 All best, Élika (on behalf of the organizing committee) Places, Spaces, Sites: Mapping Critical Intersections in Digital Humanities ------------------------------ The 2016 DH Forum will take place on Saturday, October 1, following a full day of (gratis) Digital Humanities workshops on Friday, September 30. *Paper proposals are due Friday, June 10.* ------------------------------ Notions of place, space, and site are theorized and put into practice in distinct ways across various academic fields. Spatial technologies and location services and tools, along with the rise of geo-humanities work, are bringing the tensions among ideas of place, space, and site to the surface. Moreover, a turn towards internationalization and the global has been taking place in Digital Humanities scholarship and practice, further complicating our notions of space and place. Digital Humanities has the capacity to bring these tensions together in both conflicting and harmonious ways. The 2016 DH Forum seeks to explore the intersections, mutual critiques and/or coincidences among fields, and their practices and conceptual tenets. Place in Digital Humanities has largely been explored in terms of its relevance or pertinence in departments, on campuses, in classrooms, in libraries, etc. In a global perspective, places can be viewed as sites of distinct academic practice (DH and otherwise), influenced by geopolitical, linguistic and social asymmetries, colonial histories, and neocolonial exploitation. The web, virtual spaces of collaboration, and online communities are reinventing and complicating our understanding of space and our place in the world. Furthermore, various notions surrounding the ideas of place, space, and site are at the center of the geo-spatial turn seen in many areas of Digital Humanities. Still, what place, space, and site are remains subject to deeper reflection and articulation, even more so as their traditional definitions intersect with the digital. What are the implications of digital media and forms of data collection and encoding place/space/site? What are the challenges posed by historical notions of place/space/site to current thinking and technologies? Places/spaces/sites have overlapping physical, symbolic, affective, cultural, political, or metaphorical dimensions--how do spatial technologies help or hinder how we interrogate and represent them? What is the role of networked technologies to delineate, imagine, and create places/spaces? How does place determine our place in the world? What is the impact of race, gender and gender expression, age, able bodiedness and disability, language, ethnicity, and geopolitics on ideas of place/space/site? Does a place/site exist in a world we perceive to be in constant movement? How do notions of the local and the global complicate our thinking about place/space/site? We welcome proposals on projects, research results, or critical/theoretical approaches that address such questions. Topics may include (but are not limited to) the following: - Locative and spatial narratives - Location aware technologies - Migration and refugee digital studies - Border digital studies - Local/global uses of digital media - DH infrastructure and practice in global/local contexts - Commemorative sites, collective memory and the digital humanities - Online communities - Placemaking - Community building - Digital archaeology - Methodologies for analyzing unstructured data in a spatial context - Virtual worlds - Recreations of historical and fictional places/spaces - Indigenous, queer, and/or feminist mapping strategies or projects - GIS and historical GIS applications in the humanities ------------------------------ *DH Forum Student Showcase:* We encourage graduate students to submit abstracts of papers or poster presentations. Up to three of the student presentations will be selected for a Student Showcase based on the quality, originality, clarity of the written abstracts, along with their alignment with the DH Forum theme and expected future impact. The presenters will be awarded $200 each at the conference. Students should identify themselves as such at the time of abstract submission to be considered for the showcase and 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 500 word abstracts in PDF format to idrh(a)ku.edu <idrh(a)ku.edu> by June 10, 2016*
