Dear all,
It is a great pleasure to invite you to the “Infrastructural Interventions<https://cistudies.org/events/digital-humanities-critical-infrastructure-stu…>” workshop (21 and 22 June 2021) organised by King’s Digital Lab, King’s Department of Digital Humanities, and the Critical Infrastructures Studies Collective (cistudies.org<http://cistudies.org>). The first event in the Digital Humanities & Critical Infrastructure Studies Workshop Series brings together leading thinkers in Digital Humanities and Social Sciences to critically interrogate the nature and fragility of infrastructure at individual, social, and planetary scales and reconfigure their nature from social justice, feminist and decolonial perspectives. The following questions will guide us through the discussion: How, precisely, did our contemporary digital infrastructure evolve? How are different actors challenging, contesting and creating alternatives to official data infrastructures? How can DH infrastructure be informed by an analysis of power—and even actively challenge existing power imbalances? How might DH infrastructure reject the hierarchical and other divisions that currently structure DH work? How can digital humanists reimagine and rebuild the world differently through infrastructure?
Registration for this event is open through the Eventbrite here<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/infrastructural-interventions-tickets-152839…>.
The workshop will take place on the Microsoft Teams platform. (How to join a Teams meeting.<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/join-a-teams-meeting-078e9868-f1…>) If you have any questions about the event, please don’t hesitate to contact the CIS collective: contact(a)cistudies.org<mailto:contact@cistudies.org>.
Please see the program and abstracts on the Critical Infrastructures Studies.org <https://cistudies.org/events/digital-humanities-critical-infrastructure-stu…> website. Check out also a new YouTube channel of CIstudies.org Initiative<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUHRYYlVX7SpJe8zXqtdkQg/featured>! In the coming weeks, we will be publishing videos of infrastructure-focused Digital Humanities projects.
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the event!

Dear all,
The following symposium might be of interest to you.
"Amplifying Local Voices: Perspectives on Digital Humanities Praxis from the South" Thursday, April 15th @ 5:00pm - 6:30pm EST, more details: http://calendar.mit.edu/event/AmplifyingLocalVoices#.YGwWVi1Q2Wi
Presented by:
1. Mayurakshi Chaudhuri, Assistant Professor of Sociology & Digital Humanities Coordinator, Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur
2. Isabel Galina Russell, Researcher, Instituto de Investigaciones Bibliográficas, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)
3. Kwabena Opoku-Agyemang, Lecturer, Department of English, University of Ghana, Legon
4. Lik Hang Tsui, Assistant Professor, Department of Chinese and History, City University of Hong Kong
Moderator:
Kanyinsola Obayan, Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT Digital Humanities Lab
The field of digital humanities can provide a framework for critiquing the politics, practices, and discourses that underpin the production of new computational and data infrastructures. But DH can only realize its radical possibilities for rethinking present and future paradigms by decentering the Global North and looking to the South. For DH to emerge as a critical voice in our global digital economy, it must take seriously both the material practices and lived realities of digital practitioners in the Global South.
So what can DH learn from the South to create work that is ethical, equitable, and just? This panel provides case studies of innovative DH work in Mexico, Ghana, Hong Kong, and India amongst others to shift conceptions of the South as a place of lack within the digital humanities towards new research that recenters local context and analyses of techno-political power. Additionally, by reflexively examining our disciplinary entanglements within uneven networks of power, the panelists will explore how DH praxis from the South opens up new possibilities for thinking about the pressing issues of our data-driven world.
This interdisciplinary panel will feature the following DH scholars from around the world: Isabel Galina Russell (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México), Kwabena Opoku-Agyemang (University of Ghana), Lik Hang Tsui (City University of Hong Kong), and Mayurakshi Chaudhuri (Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur). Following presentations from each panelist, there will be a discussion moderated by MIT Postdoctoral Fellow, Kanyinsola Obayan.

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>.
