Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a current call for papers on the
topic of “Theorytellings: Epistemic Narratives in the Digital
Humanities”. The overall goal of the special issue is to discuss the
theoretical foundation of DH research as an epistemic perspective that
adds to the current focus on research practices in DH, which have
traditionally been focused on data and modeling issues as well as
digital methods, tools and infrastructures. We invite new procedures and
perspectives of knowledge production that are first and foremost derived
from theoretical reflection.
Abstracts (300–400 words) are due March 31st, 2021. Accepted papers will
be published in the open-access Journal of Cultural Analytics. Please
find more details on the call for papers here:
https://culturalanalytics.org/post/795-cfp-theorytellings-epistemic-narrati…
<https://culturalanalytics.org/post/795-cfp-theorytellings-epistemic-narrati…>
We are looking forward to receive your abstracts! Please feel free to
share the CFP with anyone interested.

Call for Papers
First International Workshop on Multisensory Data & Knowledge
in conjunction with LDK 2021
https://odeuropa.github.io/mdk21/
Important dates:
Workshop papers submissions - April 23, 2021 - 23:59 AOE
Notification - May 14, 2021
Camera Ready Submission - June 14, 2021
Workshop Day - September 1, 2021
About:
Our senses are the gateways to our memories and emotions. However, they are under-represented in language technology and semantic web research. In this workshop, two recently awarded H2020 projects, Odeuropa and Polifonia, are teaming up to advance our understanding of how smells and music are represented in texts and structured data. The topics we want to address revolve around extracting references to smells, music, context, and visual information from text as well as relevant data describing their cultural, historical and political context, and model them in the form of interlinked knowledge graphs. This research has a strong interdisciplinary character, hence the workshop has the potential to attract researchers from diverse disciplines from both social sciences and humanities and computer science. Its potential impact is significant to many application areas including: preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage, data-driven policy making in cultural heritage, urban planning, artistic performances, applications for scholars in musicology and history, applications for museums, innovation in teaching, maintenance and exploitation of large catalogues, archives and libraries. We aim at creating a reference venue where new ideas and results can be shared and lead the way towards a technological and cultural shift in how we understand and experience our cultural heritage.
Topics of interest:
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Olfactory, musical and visual information extraction from text
Olfactory, musical and visual knowledge representation
Resources for olfactory, musical and visual knowledge
Extraction of socio-cultural and historical context information from text
Extraction of time, space, events, people and (musical, olfactory and visual) artifacts from text
Knowledge graphs integrating olfactory, musical and visual knowledge
Multilingual text corpora on musical and olfactory heritage
Automatic and semi-automatic generation of language descriptions of sensory experience
Methods and approaches to represent degrees of sensorial experiences (e.g. intensity, dissipation)
Applications for teaching/training/valorisation of multisensory data and knowledge
Submission:
We welcome submissions of long and short papers covering a wide range of NLP and semantic web topics dealing with the extraction and analysis of information from multisensory data. Papers presenting collaborations among researchers with different backgrounds or from different research communities are particularly welcome. All submissions must be in PDF and written in English, single-blind and formatted in the style of the OASIcs template as the main LDK 2021 conference (see the instruction for authors). Long papers should be between 10 and 15 pages, while short papers should include 6 to 8 pages and present a more focused contribution or a position paper.
The MDK 2021 proceedings will be published with CEUR-WS.org<http://CEUR-WS.org>. The submission web site is https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mdk2021
For any questions, please feel free to contact the organisers directly, or via mdk2021(a)easychair.org<mailto:mdk2021@easychair.org>.

The Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) seeks applicants for its two 2021 Communications Fellowships, each of which comes with a stipend of €500 (Euros).
Each year, Communications Fellows work with ADHO’s Communications Officer to manage ADHO’s public communications activities. The fellowship is well suited for graduate students, young scholars, and academic professionals who wish to develop a deeper knowledge of digital humanities and its global communities, contribute to an important digital humanities scholarly and professional organization, and gain professional experience in social media and communications.
The communications team works remotely from their respective locations, communicating via email, online chat, video calls, and other effective means. Communications fellows must provide access to a computer and internet connection. In 2021, fellowships will begin as soon as possible after 01 May and will end on 31 December.
Learn more about the fellowships here: https://adho.org/announcements/2021/call-applications-2021-adho-communicati…
To apply, submit a CV or résumé, a brief writing sample, the names of two references, and a cover letter describing your interest in and qualifications for the position to the ADHO Communications Officer at communications(a)digitalhumanities.org<mailto:communications@digitalhumanities.org>. The application deadline is 23:59 UTC on 15 April 2021.

Registration Open – Current Trends in Digital East Asian Studies, Wednesday 31 March 2021, 9-11am (BST)
https://digitalmodernlanguages.wordpress.com/2021/03/03/current-trends-in-d…<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdigitalmo…>
Research in Digital East Asian Studies has grown in scale and visibility in recent years, reflecting both the establishment of digital humanities initiatives in the region and increasing awareness of the limitations of digital tools developed in an anglophone context. Whether historic or contemporary, this research has to address a unique set of circumstances including the digitisation and OCR challenges presented by non-Latin scripts more broadly, different encoding standards, uneven availability of digital datasets/corpora, regional differences in how digital research is articulated, and variation in institutional embeddings for East Asian studies outside of the region. The field draws on a complex array of transdisciplinary, cross-regional and multilingual approaches which may be difficult to distil succinctly, but which offer an important counterpoint to anglophone digital research.
In this panel, four leading scholars in East Asian studies offer their perspectives on a range of questions, including the following:
* What have been the main scholarly achievements of digital East Asian studies in recent years?
* What are the key social, technical and/or epistemological challenges for the field right now?
* How do the different regional interpretations of ‘digital humanities/digital studies’ in the region, and the different institutional embeddings of ‘East Asian studies’ outside the region facilitate or complicate collaborative research on this topic?
* To what extent are East Asian languages and scripts served by existing digital infrastructures, international standards and supposedly ‘language-neutral’ digital methods, and to what extent is a regional/localised approach necessary?
* How should digital methods in East Asian studies be taught? What examples of best practice exist currently, and how do they combine the study of language and culture?
Registration is free but please book in advance at the following link to be given access to the seminar: https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/events/event/24079<https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmodernlan…>
