"Who Owns the Internet?"
by Ernesto Priego 24 Aug '17

24 Aug '17

Hi all, The question in the subject line was a question posed to us at the end of the panel we had on "opening the digital humanities" last April in Roma Tre University (event organised by Domenico Fiormonte). It is also the headline with which The New Yorker shares online this artcle, which discusses two recent books on American tech giants: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/08/28/who-owns-the-internet/ I thought I'd share the link here with you all as it continues discussions we have had in the Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades Digitales del Sur project. All the best, Ernesto

Re: [globaloutlookDH-l] CFP: Global Debates in the Digital Humanities
by Domenico Fiormonte 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Dear all, sorry to be slow answering. First of all, I would like to call your attention on a key aspect of the Global Debates CFP: we will publish all original papers online! The printed volume will be in English, but the online version will be multilingual. As far as I know this is one of the first experiments of this kind not only in the DH field (Marin Dacos rightly remembered http://net-lang.net/, a remarkable *bilingual* project). I think we should be grateful to both the series editors and Minnesota UP for accepting this challenge. As already pointed out by members of this list, this would be one of the first time that a group of scholars not based in (or linked to) Anglophone institutions will co-edit a collection published in the US. In DDH2016 out of around 50 published texts only two or three were authored by people not based in Anglophone organizations (i.e. US, UK, Australia). Paola, Sukanta, and I are very grateful to Matt and Lauren because they wanted to challenge and may be reverse this trend. Judging for the encouraging public and private messages we got so far it seems that the non-English DH community is celebrating this event, and we are all excited about moving the project forward. But of course as all projects, also the Global Debates volume project has some limitations, both in terms of resources and scope. Paola, Sukanta and I have discussed at length the translation problem, and we will be happy to find alternative and creative solutions for translating accepted papers. If a prospect author will not have the resources to translate his/her final text, we’ll try to find a solution with the help of the publisher, the series editors, and of course everyone in the DH international community. However, the first step of the process would be to select abstracts, which can submitted in other languages than English (see the CFP). In conclusion, we believe the risk of exclusion of accepted papers would be very low, and the alarm should be watered down. It will be in our responsibility as editors to ensure that the whole process will be conducted in a fair, equal and transparent way. Personally, I agree with Ernesto Priani: solutions to the linguistic and/or cultural exclusion should be designed preferably *from* the South and *for* the South. Two years ago we created a South-South dialogue group, and we started to discuss these issues. Here are some of the ideas we’ve been discussing, first in Malaga and this year in Rome ( https://epriego.wordpress.com/2017/04/06/digital-humanitieshumanidades-digi… ): http://cshdsur.es/descargas/SOCIAL_SCIENCES_AND_DIGITAL_SOUTH%20HUMANITIES.… One final remark. This thread started from a legitimate concern on language policies, but honestly I don’t think that monolingualism is the biggest problem of DH (and in general of science: http://m.scidev.net/sub-saharan-africa/publishing/news/southern-scholars-mi…): we all know that the real problem is the supremacy of the Anglophone epistemological models, structures, organizations that have a direct effect on the educational models and on the ways of constructing and disseminating knowledge and research. As you can see from the wide range of CFP topics, our scope (and hope) is that the contributions to the volume will address these structural problems. Saluti a tutt* Domenico

Welcome to our new members to GO::DH!
by Alex Gil 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Dear all, We have had many newcomers join us to the list after Montreal. I wanted to personally welcome you to the GO::DH mailing list. Please feel free to ask anything, share opportunities and projects of interest to folks working around the world. You can speak in any language you please. Yo hablo en español a veces. Sometimes we debate issues here, and we do so in a spirit of understanding of our differences and generosity to our colleagues. You just arrived at an important moment for GO::DH. An important volume on Global Debates in Digital Humanities <http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/cfps/cfp_2017_global_digital_humanities.html>, edited by Domenico Fiormonte, Sukanta Chaudhuri, and Paola Ricaurte, has been announced, and we hope many of you will consider contributions. More generally for us as a community, we are trying to decide the future of GO::DH itself: should we become a constituent organization of ADHO, or should we focus on discussions and projects. To get some context on the latter, please feel free to reach out with questions. You can also learn about our history from our site <http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/> and the mailing list archive <http://listserv.uleth.ca/pipermail/globaloutlookdh-l/>. The early days in the archive are of particular interest since many important debates that still resonate today took place in this list. Bienvenidos!! a.

CFP: Global Debates in the Digital Humanities
by Domenico Fiormonte 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Dear GO::DH friends, we've just launched a call for contributions that we think it would be of particular interest for the Global DH community: http://dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/cfps/cfp_2017_global_digital_humanities.html We would be very grateful if you could circulate it in your local/regional/linguistic community. Our aim with this project it is not only to make visible non-Anglophone or non-Western research, but to give a voice to alternative views of DH. I guess "DH Diversity" would have been a proper subtitle! We look forward to receiving your inputs, comments, and advice. We're also lookinkg for volunteers who could help us to translate the call in other languages (i.e. Chinese, Arabic, and Russian). Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any specific question regarding the call and the project as a whole. All the best Domenico, Paola, and Sukanta <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> Mail priva di virus. www.avg.com <http://www.avg.com/email-signature?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_cam…> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2>

More on scholarly comms
by Ernesto Priego 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Hello all, Yesterday I blogged about Elsevier venturing into institutional repositories: https://epriego.wordpress.com/2017/08/02/scholarly-communications-on-fire/ I hope to do a follow up, as well as a related post I promised the RedHD blog. Many of us believe international coordination and collaboration are required if academics worldwide are to resist the ongoing monopolisation of global academic infrastructure. Hence I remain hopeful these discussions continue being of special interest to the global DH communities. All the best, Ernesto
