CFP: Digital Diasporas, University of London, June 6-7, 2019
by Roopika Risam 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Dear Colleagues, I write to share a CFP that may be of interest. Note that there are small bursaries for students and early career researchers. Sincerely, Roopika *Digital Diasporas: Interdisciplinary Perspectives, 6 and 7 June 2019* https://crosslanguagedynamics.blogs.sas.ac.uk/digital-diasporas/call-for-pa… Venue: School of Advanced Study, Senate House (University of London) Since Appadurai wrote on the intertwined phenomena of electronic media and migration as disruptive and defining features of modern subjectivity (1996), the relationship between digital technologies and diasporic communities has emerged as a critical area of study across a number of disciplines. However, such research risks remaining isolated within disciplinary silos, often despite the similar processes, practices and materials studied. This conference aims to inspire greater dialogue across disciplinary boundaries in order to develop a richer understanding of the role of the digital in creating and sustaining diasporic connections and communities, and of how diasporic groups and individuals transform and shape digital tools and technologies for their own creative and strategic purposes. Through this dialogue it is hoped that new transdisciplinary ways of working may develop which challenge knowledge fragmentation in order to confront the complexity of the contemporary context of intensified cultural and linguistic flows and new patterns of human mobility. At the same time, drawing attention to diasporic narratives and approaches to digital culture and technologies can function as both critique and challenge to centralised narratives of digital progress and development often restricted to predominantly Anglophone contexts. We especially welcome research which pays attention to the linguistic and cultural dimensions of digital technologies and media. This is, however, not restricted to any specific geographical area, language or type of community. Equally, the digital is intended to encompass the fullest range of digital practices, materials and technologies, while the conference aims to include methodological and analytical approaches ranging across, for example, ethnographic, cultural studies and computational approaches. Areas of particular, but not exclusive, interest include: Social media and migration focused research; Multilingualism and digitally mediated communications; Histories of the internet and web archives research; Ethnographies of the internet and uses of digital technologies (including research combining offline-online methods); Digital media, cultural and visual studies; Digital and diasporic cultural memory; Digitally mapping and visualising migrations and diasporic networks, with attention to ethical and political concerns. Invited keynote and panel speakers include: Jannis Androutsopoulos (Universität Hamburg); Tobias Blanke (King’s College London); Alexandra Georgakopoulou (King’s College London); Agnieszka Lyons (Queen Mary, University of London); Mirca Madianou (Goldsmiths, University of London); Sandra Ponzanesi (Utrecht University); Roopika Risam (Salem State University); Caroline Tagg (The Open University); Funda Ustek-Spilda (London School of Economics/Goldsmiths); Janet Zmroczek (British Library) We invite abstract submissions for 20-minute presentations. Abstracts should be between 150-300 words in length (the bibliography does not count towards the word limit). Presentations can be on previously published research or ongoing projects. We intend to develop a Special Issue or edited volume which will include an invited selection of the research presented at the conference. In order to incorporate emerging work in progress, particularly from ongoing PhD projects, the conference will have space for a smaller number of lightning research talks of 5-7 minutes for which we also invite abstracts of 100-200 words. Please submit through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dd2019 *T**he deadline for submissions is 1 December 2018.* Accepted papers will be confirmed by 1 February 2019. We also have a small number of bursaries of £100 to contribute towards travel and/or accommodation costs for postgraduate students or Early Career Researchers (within 8 years of receiving a PhD) whose submissions are accepted and who have restricted access to alternative funding for conference attendance. If you would like to be considered for an award, please attach with your submission a pdf or word document with a short statement of no more than 300 words explaining what the benefits of attending the conference would be for you and your research. -- Roopika Risam, Ph.D. Assistant Professor of English Faculty Fellow for Digital Library Initiatives Salem State University http://roopikarisam.com

*CALL FOR PAPERS* *HUMANIDADES DIGITALES: MIRADAS DEL SUR* La revista Liinc invita a todxs lxs interesadxs a enviar artículos para su dossier "Humanidades Digitales: miradas del Sur", organizado por los profs. Ricardo Pimenta (Ibict) y Gimena del Rio Riande (IIBICRIT, CONICET), para su número 1, volumen 15, a publicarse en mayo de 2019. Se aceptan artículos originales en portugués, español e inglés. En un escenario científico global donde las soluciones digitales han suscitado las más variadas reflexiones sobre sus implicaciones humanas en términos políticos, educativos, culturales y sociotécnicos, las Humanidades Digitales han sido foco de variados intereses entre investigadores del ámbito de las Ciencias Sociales, la Literatura y la Lingüística, las Artes, las Ciencias de la Educación, las Ciencias de la Información, y las Ciencias de la Computación e Informática. Sus nuevos métodos, junto con las ya tradicionales aproximaciones de las Humanidades, suscitan nuevos objetos de investigación, epistemologías y resultados, atravesados por los recursos digitales. De esta manera, las Humanidades Digitales apuntan, por un lado, a un conjunto de posibilidades de producción y divulgación científica de nuevos "contornos" y también a una serie de indagaciones donde las "formas" mediadas por la retórica de lo digital ganan lugar entre los humanistas. En el horizonte académico del Sur tales cuestiones son aún más punzantes. En medio de la asimetría de recursos, competencias y oportunidades, el Sur ofrece una riqueza de temas y desafíos muchas veces inexistentes en el ámbito de las Humanidades Digitales del Norte. Este dossier propone la construcción de "puentes" y de lugares de encuentro entre teoría y práctica, teniendo como referencia las Humanidades Digitales desarrolladas en el Sur. Algunos ejes temáticos: 1. Geopolítica de las Humanidades Digitales: lo global, lo local; 2. Contexto sociotécnico, político y cultural de la producción del conocimiento a través de las Humanidades Digitales; 3. Maneras de leer y escribir en la era digital: del registro y la recuperación al borrado de la información en internet; 4. Ciencia abierta como política y práctica de las Humanidades Digitales: recursos y herramientas; 5. Metodologías digitales: entre nuevas epistemologías y nuevos problemas para el campo; 6. Edición digital académica, anotación semántica, geolocalización. Crowdsourcing de textos, imágenes, audios; 7. Archivo y Documentación: escaneado, memoria, preservación; 8. Bibliotecas, Labs, Fablabs: espacios de ciudadanía y democratización del conocimiento; 9. De lo lúdico a la ciencia: arte digital, arquitectura, música, cine, teatro, juegos digitales y nuevos medios; 10. Innovación y transformación digital en la academia: comunicación científica, visibilidad, y formas de apertura; 11. Fake news, post-verdad y Humanidades Digitales: relaciones posibles; 12. Cultura, Diversidad, Educación, Feminismo y sus mediaciones con las tecnologías digitales. Coordinado por los profesores Ricardo M. Pimenta (IBICT) y Gimena del Rio Riande (IIBICRIT, CONICET). Además del dossier, Liinc en Revista está abierta a la presentación de artículos y reseñas sobre otros temas en su ámbito de reflexión, de acuerdo con sus normas editoriales. La información sobre las reglas de envío de artículos se encuentra en: http://liinc.revista.ibict.br/index.php/liinc/about/submissions#authorGuide… PERÍODO DE ENVÍO DE ARTÍCULOS: hasta el 31 de enero de 2019, em http://www.ibict.br/liinc *CHAMADA DE ARTIGOS* *HUMANIDADES DIGITAIS: OLHARES DO SUL* A Liinc em Revista convida a todos os interessados a submeterem artigos para seu dossiê “Humanidades Digitais: olhares do Sul, organizado pelos profs. Ricardo Pimenta (IBICT) e Gimena del Rio Riande (IIBICRIT, CONICET), conforme temário a seguir, para publicação no número 1, volume 15, de maio de 2019. Aceitam-se artigos originais em português, espanhol e inglês. Em meio a um cenário científico global onde as soluções digitais têm suscitado mais e mais reflexão sobre suas implicações humanas em termos políticos, educativos, culturais e sociotécnicos, as ditas Humanidades Digitais têm continuamente sido foco de interesse diverso entre pesquisadores do âmbito das Ciências Sociais, da literatura e da linguística, das Artes, da Educação e das ciências da Informação e da Computação. Seus novos métodos aplicados às já estabelecidas abordagens das Humanidades suscitam novos objetos de pesquisa, epistemologias e produtos, ambos atravessados pelos recursos digitais. Dessa maneira, as Humanidades Digitais apontam duplamente para um conjunto de possibilidades de produção e divulgação científica de novos “contornos” e para um cenário de indagações sobre porque e para que as “formas” mediadas pela retórica do digital ganham maior evidência entre acadêmicos das humanidades. No horizonte acadêmico do Sul tais questões são ainda mais pungentes. Em meio à assimetria de recursos, competências e oportunidades de interlocução, o Sul oferta uma riqueza de temas e desafios, muitas vezes inexistentes no âmbito das Humanidades Digitais do Norte. Este dossiê propõe a construção de “pontes” e de lugares de encontro entre teoria e prática, tendo como foco as Humanidades Digitais desenvolvidas no âmbito do Sul ou tendo-o como referência. Alguns eixos temáticos: 1. Geopolítica das Humanidades Digitais: o global, o local; 2. Contexto sociotécnico, político e cultural da produção do conhecimento por meio das Humanidades Digitais; 3. Formas de ler e escrever na era digital: do registro e da recuperação ao apagamento da informação na internet; 4. Ciência aberta enquanto política e prática das Humanidades Digitais: recursos e ferramentas; 5. Metodologias digitais: entre novas epistemologias e novos problemas para o campo; 6. Edição digital, anotação semântica, geolocalização. Crowdsourcing de texto, imagens, áudios; 7. Arquivo e Documentação: digitalização, memória, preservação; 8. Bibliotecas, Labs, Fablabs: espaços de cidadania e democratização do conhecimento; 9. Do lúdico à ciência: arte digital, arquitetura, música, cinema, teatro, jogos digitais e novas mídias; 10. Inovação e transformação digital na academia: comunicação científica, visibilidades, e formas de abertura; 11. Notícias falsas, pós-verdade e humanidades digitais: interligações possíveis; 12. Cultura, Diversidade, Educação, Feminismo e suas mediações com as tecnologias digitais. Organizado pelos professores Ricardo M. Pimenta (IBICT) e Gimena del Rio Riande (IIBICRIT, CONICET). Além do dossiê, a Liinc em Revista está aberta à submissão de artigos e resenhas sobre outros temas em seu escopo de reflexão, de acordo com suas normas editoriais. Informações sobre as regras de submissão de artigos estão em: http://liinc.revista.ibict.br/index.php/liinc/about/submissions#authorGuide… PERÍODO DE SUBMISSÃO DE ARTIGOS: até 31 de janeiro de 2019, em http://www.ibict.br/liinc *CALL FOR PAPERS* *DIGITAL HUMANITIES: VIEWS FROM THE SOUTH* Liinc Journal invites scholars to submit articles for their dossier "Digital Humanities: views from the South", organized by profs. Ricardo Pimenta (Ibict) and Gimena del Rio Riande (IIBICRIT, CONICET), for publication in issue 1, volume 15, at May 2019. Original articles are accepted in Portuguese, Spanish and English. In a global scientific scenario where digital solutions have elicited the most varied reflections about their human implications in political, educational, cultural and sociotechnical terms, the Digital Humanities has been the focus of varied interests among researchers from the field of Social Sciences, Literature and Linguistics, Arts, Education, Information and Computer Sciences. Its new methods, altogether with the traditional Humanities approaches, have given rise to new research objects, epistemologies and results, built with digital resources. Thus, the Digital Humanities, on the one hand, set possibilities for scientific production and dissemination and also a series of inquiries where the mediations of the digital rhetorics gain place among humanists. In the academic horizon of the South such issues are even more poignant. In a context defined by asymmetry of resources, competencies and opportunities, the South offers issues and challenges that are often nonexistent in the Digital Humanities from the North. This dossier proposes the construction of "bridges" and meeting points between theory and practice, taking as reference the Digital Humanities developed in the South. Some topics: 1. Geopolitics of the Digital Humanities: the global, the local; 2. Sociotechnical, political and cultural context of knowledge production through the Digital Humanities; 3. Reading and writing in the digital age: from information register and recovery to deletion on the internet; 4. Open science as Digital Humanities policy and practice: resources and tools; 5. Digital methodologies: new epistemologies and new problems in the field; 6. Scholarly digital edition, semantic annotation, geolocation. Crowdsourcing of texts, images, audios; 7. File and Documentation: scanning, memory, preservation; 8. Libraries, Labs, Fablabs: spaces for citizenship and knowledge democratization; 9. From ludic to science: digital art, architecture, music, cinema, theater, digital games and new media; 10. Innovation and digital transformation in academia: scholarly communication, visibility, and openness; 11. Fake news, post-truth and Digital Humanities: possible relationships; 12. Culture, Diversity, Education, Feminism and digital technologies mediations. Coordinated by Ricardo M. Pimenta (IBICT) and Gimena del Rio Riande (IIBICRIT, CONICET). Besides the dossier, Liinc in Revista is open to submission of articles and reviews on other subjects in its scope of reflection, according to its editorial standards. Information on the rules of article submission are in: http://liinc.revista.ibict.br/index.php/liinc/about/submissions#authorGuide… ARTICLE SUBMISSION PERIOD: until January 31, 2019, in http://www.ibict.br/liinc Dra.

Elections
by Amy Earhart 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

HI all, I wanted to let you all know the status of the executive committee. I have sent several emails to the executive members who are rotating off and the current members requesting help in running elections. I’ve heard a response from one current person and one former. The former folks are off and have no responsibility. There doesn’t seem to be interest from the executive committee as currently formed to move forward with voting. I do not think that the organization can move ahead with only one or two people willing to work for it. At this point I am not sure of how to proceed, but I wanted to let the membership know that I have tried to constitute an ec (currently there is no chair, so no one is really in charge), but there is not enough response to move ahead.

Foundations for Open Scholarship Strategy
by Ernesto Priego 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Dear all, I am not sure what the fate of this email list will be, not sure if we are supposed to still use it or if anyone is still receiving messages. Can I ask if there is or if there is a plan for a new email list moderator, or is it just being phased out? Last chance we checked there were 500+ members; it seems like a unique resource and a shame to just let it die. Anyway: In other lists I am a member of Jon Tennant has shared the first formally published version of the Open Scholarship Strategy: https://zenodo.org/record/1323437#.W17HXNL7RPY "The purpose of this document is to provide a concise analysis of where the global Open Scholarship movement currently stands: what the common threads and strengths are, where the greatest opportunities and challenges lie, and how we can more effectively work together as a global community to recognise the top strategic priorities." As Jon notes, "The main document is available in a range of formats: markdown, R markdown, Epub, iPython notebook, open document text, PDF, rich-text format, LaTeX, plain text, xml, and html. Comments and contributions to the next version are welcome through THIS MARKDOWN FILE <https://github.com/Open-Scholarship-Strategy/site/blob/master/index.Rmd>, or if you are uncomfortable with traditional Git-based workflows, through the issue tracker HERE <https://github.com/Open-Scholarship-Strategy/site/issues>. In addition to the above, the pilot module for the Open Science MOOC <https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-5-Open-Research-Software-and-Open…>, Open Source and Open Research Software, is now open for community feedback. We would welcome comments and criticisms <https://github.com/OpenScienceMOOC/Module-5-Open-Research-Software-and-Open…> from anyone interested, and all realms of scholarly communication!" As this is part of the domain of the digital humanities, affecting most crucially colleages from the Global South, I thought I'd share here.
