Call for Nominations to GO::DH Executive Committee
by Rosenblum, Brian 18 Dec '19

18 Dec '19

Dear colleagues, In 2019 Amy Earhart and Tunde Opeibi graciously agreed to provide another year of service on the GO::DH Executive Committee, allowing GO::DH to have a full, 8-member Committee. Thank you to both Amy and Tunde for your service! With their term coming to an end, we are now seeking at least two nominees for election and/or acclamation to the Committee. This will be for a two-year term of service beginning immediately after the election, from February 1, 2020 - January 31, 2022. All voting positions on the Committee are for two year terms that can be renewed three times. We begin with a nomination period, which will close Sunday, January 12 at midnight in all time zones, followed by a two-week elections period. The election will be held by electronic ballot open to all subscribers to the list. The work of the GO::DH Executive Committee is not heavy, but it is important to our community and the support of an approach to DH that recognizes, supports, and encourages linguistic, regional, and other forms of diversity. This year, GO::DH has launched a series of articles with translations in Digital Studies/ Le champ numérique, and has been in discussions with ADHO about moving from a Special Interest Group to a full organizational member. 2020 promises to be another active year for the organization, with the launch of "Around DH 2020" and working on a new version of the Quantifying DH infographic (http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/news/<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.global…>), in addition to a new minimal computing version of our website. We welcome your ideas and enthusiasm for other initiatives GO::DH can undertake! Please consider nominating yourself (self-nominations are common and welcome) or somebody else in our community by emailing Brian Rosenblum at brianrosenblum(a)ku.edu<mailto:brianrosenblum@ku.edu>. All who wish to put their names forward will be warmly welcomed as candidates. Again, the deadline for nominations is Sunday, January 12. In your email, please include the following information: * The name of the nominee * Preferred email address of the nominee (if you are nominating somebody other than yourself, please be sure to cc your nominee on the email so that we know they are willing to stand and that we know we have a working email address for them). * An optional brief candidate statement (<250 words). This can be anything you wish: a bio; an explanation of your aims for the position; political planks. This statement will be published to the GO::DH website. I hope you will consider putting your name forward.

A Faustian bargain
by Domenico Fiormonte 14 Dec '19

14 Dec '19

Dear all, as a DHer I was particularly struck by this report by Amnesty on surveillance giants: https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol30/1404/2019/en/ "But despite the real value of the services they provide, Google and Facebook’s platforms come at a systemic cost. The companies’ surveillance-based business model forces people to make a Faustian bargain, whereby they are only able to enjoy their human rights online by submitting to a system predicated on human rights abuse." As some of you already know, I've been criticizing the political and social role of these platforms since long ago. And I'm increasingly wondering how the DH community - and especially our global community - can remain silent in the face of documented violations of human rights. Beacause this is exactly what's going on. It's not just about data. Would make any sense to start a discussion here on how to respond as digital scholars to these (not anymore just epistemological or cultural) abuses? Or should we just go on, using Google and Facebook as those and other documented abuses did not exist? Sconsolatamente Vostro, Domenico

CfP: Digital Project Handbook
by Hannah Jacobs 21 Nov '19

21 Nov '19

**Please share. Apologies for cross-posting.** Call for Participation: Visualizing Objects, Places, and Spaces: A Digital Project Handbook Visualizing Objects, Places, and Spaces: A Digital Project Handbook (https://handbook.pubpub.org/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__handbook.pubpub.org_&d…>) is a peer-reviewed open resource designed to fill the gap between platform-specific tutorials and disciplinary discourse in digital humanities. Led by Beth Fischer (Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow in Digital Humanities at the Williams College Museum of Art) and Hannah Jacobs (Digital Humanities Specialist, Wired! Lab, Duke University), this project offers high-level recommendations for project planning, breakdowns of specific project methods in the form of case studies, and sample assignments to get instructors and students started. As the title suggests, the Handbook focuses on visual materials and visual methods of communication in digital humanities. The project leaders are seeking submissions of case studies and sample assignments to include in the Handbook: * Case studies are short overviews of digital projects that help Handbook readers see what such research initiatives actually look like in practice. * Sample assignments give an overview of how specific digital humanities techniques, methods, or approaches can be practiced in classroom settings at various levels. They are intended as a resource for content and as a way of estimating the time, resources, and steps required to implement student-centric digital humanities projects from lesson planning to assessment. For this first call, we are prioritizing submissions to the Archival<https://handbook.pubpub.org/archival>, Dimensional<https://handbook.pubpub.org/dimensional>, and Temporal<https://handbook.pubpub.org/temporal> sections of the Handbook, but we recognize that many projects fall into multiple of our project type categories<https://handbook.pubpub.org/project-types>. If your project fits with multiple project types, or if you’d like to submit to any other project type, please do not hesitate to do so. If you have questions about this, please contact digitalhandbook[at]duke.edu. We are accepting submissions from digital humanities practitioners in a broad range of educational and cultural heritage contexts including higher education institutions, K-12, libraries, archives, museums, and those independent of institutional affiliation. All submissions that are used on the site will be subject to our peer-review process and given full attribution, and we will link to your project website or publications. First round submission deadline: January 15, 2020 Submit your case study or sample assignment at https://handbook.pubpub.org/get-involved. Send direct questions to digitalhandbook[at]duke.edu<mailto:digitalhandbook@duke.edu>. --- Hannah L. Jacobs Digital Humanities Specialist, Wired!

CFP: Digital Humanities Quarterly Minimal Computing Special Issue
by rrisam＠gmail.com 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Dear GO::DH Colleagues, Alex Gil and I are co-editing a special issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly on Minimal Computing. Abstracts are due by January 30, 2020. We're committed to expanding the conversation and actively encourage submission from women, gender minorities, and practitioners around the world. We can accept submissions in French, Spanish, Portuguese, and English. We hope to see strong representation from our GO::DH colleagues! Sincerely, Roopika Risam and Alex Gil CFP: Minimal Computing Special Issue, Digital Humanities Quarterly http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/submissions/cfps.html Guest editors: Alex Gil, Columbia University Libraries Roopika Risam, Salem State University Abstracts due: January 30, 2020 Special Issue Description This special issue of Digital Humanities Quarterly will bring together essays and case studies on the promises and limitations of minimal computing from historical, practical, and theoretical perspectives, as well as within the context of specific research projects and their environments. Minimal computing can be defined as any form of digital or computational praxis done under some set of significant constraints of hardware, software, education, network capacity, power, agency or other factors. Within the context of digital humanities scholarship, minimal computing refers to such computing practices used for teaching, research, and the construction and maintenance of a hybrid—digital and analog—scholarly and cultural record. Broadly construed, our scope is not limited to digital scholarship within the confines of universities and thus includes work undertaken in galleries, archives (institution and community-based), and libraries, as well as in collaboration with communities. In this issue, we strive for equity in gender and particularly encourage submission by women and gender minorities. We further actively seek to include at least one contribution from each of the following geographical areas: Latin America, Africa, and Asia. We are able to accept submissions in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish. Suggested Topics Topics can include but are not limited to: * Minimal hardware: aged machines, USBs, arduinos, simple circuits, etc. * Minimal computation: simple scripts, bash, tranductions, etc. * Static site generation * Teaching fundamentals of computing tied to subjects in the humanities and the humanistic social sciences * Forms of making-do in relation to computation: jugaad, hacktivism, DIY * Technological disobedience, i.e. using technologies in a way they were not intended * Marginal forms of knowledge and memory production involving computation * A critique of minimal or minimalist approaches undertaken by choice, rather than by necessity * Genealogies of minimalist forms of computation * Case studies on projects that address a multiplicity of costs (environment, bandwidth, access, maintenance, etc.) and needs (publishing, remembrance, resistance, etc.) with an overall reduction in complexity * Implications of minimal computing practices for universities, libraries and archives. Submission Formats The special issue will consist of two sections: The first section will be reserved for scholarly arguments grounded in history or well argued theoretical work on minimal computing, and the second section will include case studies in the form of specific projects or deep descriptions of environments that pose particular challenges or constraints for digital scholarship and strategic responses to them that incorporate minimal computing practices. In the first section, we welcome historical perspectives on minimal computing that place contemporary practices in dialogue with multiple documented genealogies; theoretical or strategic pieces that examine socio-technical implications of these practices at scale today; and critical or skeptical voices who are familiar with the implications of minimal computing and the informal discussions and practices that have taken place in the recent past. For the second section we welcome deep descriptions of projects and environments that include, extend, and complicate minimal computing practices, prompting meditations on difference and imperfect similarity between multiple projects or environments. These case studies should help mainstream audiences understand the granular thinking behind design decisions that respond to specific constraints and challenges. Submission Details We ask that you send your abstracts (max. 500 words) to rrisam(a)salemstate.edu and agil(a)columbia.edu by January 30, 2020 for a first round of review. Early inquiries are encouraged. We will notify all submitters of the status of their submission in late February. If you are invited to submit a full-length article (~4,000-8,000 words) or a case study (~2,500 words), we ask that they be submitted by June 30, 2020. -- Roopika Risam, Ph.D. Associate Professor of Secondary and Higher Education Faculty Fellow for Digital Library Initiatives Salem State University http://roopikarisam.com

Oct. 17-18 #CenteringDH Registration & Livestream
by Hannah Jacobs 14 Oct '19

14 Oct '19

**Please share. Apologies for cross-posting!** On October 17-18, please join the Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture at Duke University to reflect on contributions of art historians and visual culture scholars to the spatial digital humanities at Centering Art History & Visual Culture in the Digital Humanities: A Symposium Celebrating 10 Years of the Wired! Lab at Duke<https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/>. Find out more: sites.duke.edu/centeringdh<https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/> | #centeringdh<https://twitter.com/hashtag/centeringdh> Register: https://sites.duke.edu/centeringdh/registration/ Watch the livestream: Thursday – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-Thurs Friday Morning – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-FridayMorning Friday Afternoon – http://bit.ly/CenteringDH-FridayAfternoon Over the past decade, the use of digital methods has exploded in the study of art history and visual culture. As with other areas of the digital humanities, art historians and visual culture scholars have used a very wide range of approaches. Still, increasingly, one of the core areas that art history and visual culture have particular focused on is the analysis of spatial problems through computational methods and digital visualization. This conference brings to the fore core contributions of art historians and visual culture scholars to the spatial digital humanities. Looking at objects and environments at a wide variety of scales, panelists will ask: What spatial and temporal cultural problems can be addressed with digital methods? Conversely, speakers will address how the art and visual culture extend and complicate developments within the digital humanities. This conference is held in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Wired! Lab for Digital Art History & Visual Culture here at Duke University. The Wired! Lab is itself a center of major research involving the study of objects, buildings, and urban environments at a variety of different scales and with diverse computational methods. We are pleased to host this dialogue on how spatial problems in art history and visual culture contribute to important developments within the digital humanities. --- Hannah L.
