Interview for ScienceOpen
by Ernesto Priego 21 Apr '16

21 Apr '16

Hello all, I hope you don't mind a bit of shameless self-promotion (I don't like the term myself but unfortunately the feeling remains). I was interviewed about my work on the OpenScience network: http://blog.scienceopen.com/2016/04/open-science-stars-ernesto-priego/ I feel that in these days of hyper-connectivity and constant social networking we sometimes don't really know what other colleagues are doing... we stay in touch but don't really know much about each other and about what motivates our work etc. I talk a lot in the interview but Jon who interviewed me was kind enouch to highlight some blurbs that may spare you having to read the whole thing. I thought I'd share as I think I express there some of the reasons why I find the work of Global Outlook so important, even if I don't refer to this group directly. If you click on the link, thank you. Thanks for allowing me to share this with you here.

Caribbean Digital III - NYC December 2016
by Alex Gil 20 Apr '16

20 Apr '16

Dear friends, amigxs, amixs, vrienden, Please see and help us share the call for papers/projects below to your colleagues and students working at the intersection of digital humanities, Caribbean studies and adjacent fields. The CFP is also available at The Caribbean Digital III website <http://caribbeandigitalnyc.net/2016/>. Apologies if you've already received this call via other networks. Thanks, Kaiama, Alex and Kelly Call for Papers a Small Axe Project event 2 December 2016 Barnard College / Columbia University New York, NY *Deadline for proposals:* 15 July 2016 The transformation of the academy by the digital revolution presents challenges to customary ways of learning, teaching, conducting research, interpreting documents and presenting findings. It also offers great opportunities in each of these areas. New media enable oration, graphics, objects, and even embodied performance to supplement existing forms of scholarly production as well as to constitute entirely original platforms. Opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration have expanded enormously; information has been made more accessible and research made more efficient on multiple levels. Scholars are called upon, with some urgency, to adapt their research and pedagogical methods to an academic climate deluged by a superabundance of information and analysis. This has created opportunities for open-ended and multiform engagements, interactive and continually updating archives and other databases, cartographic applications that enrich places with historical information, and online dialogues with peers and the public. The need for such engagements is especially immediate among the people of the Caribbean and its diasporas. Information technology has become an increasingly significant part of the way that people frame pressing social problems and political aspirations. Aesthetic media like photography and painting—because they are relatively inexpensive and do not rely on literacy or formal training—have become popular among economically dispossessed and politically marginalized constituencies. Moreover, the Internet is analogous in important ways to the Caribbean itself as dynamic and fluid cultural space: it is generated from disparate places and by disparate peoples; it challenges fundamentally the geographical and physical barriers that disrupt or disallow connection; and it places others and elsewheres in relentless relation. Yet while we celebrate these opportunities for connectedness, we also must make certain that the digital realm undermine and confront rather than re-inscribe forms of silencing and exclusion in the Caribbean. Following on conversations that animated our events in 2014 <http://caribbeandigitalnyc.net/2015/sxcd2014/> and 2015 <http://caribbeandigitalnyc.net/2015/>, we look forward in this third public forum to engaging critically with the digital as practice and as historicized societal phenomenon, reflecting on the challenges and opportunities presented by the media technologies that evermore intensely reconfigure the social and geographic contours of the Caribbean. We invite presentations that explicitly evoke: - the transatlantic, collaborative, and/or interdisciplinary possibilities and limitations of digital technologies in the Caribbean - metaphorical linkages between the digital and such Caribbean philosophical, ethical, and aesthetic concepts as “submarine unity,” the rhizome, Relation, the spiral, repeating islands, creolization, etc. - gendered dimensions of the digital in the Caribbean - the connection between digital technologies and practices of the so-called Caribbean folk - specific engagements with digital spaces and/or theories by individual Caribbean artists and intellectuals - the ways in which digital technologies have impacted or shaped understandings of specific Caribbean political phenomena (e.g. sovereignty, reparations, transnationalism, migration, etc.) - structural means of facilitating broad engagement, communication, and accessibility in the Caribbean digital context (cultivation of multilingual spaces, attentiveness to the material/hardware limitations of various populations) - in what ways has the digital brought welcome bibliographic, philological and curatorial attention to endangered or neglected archives in the region Both traditional conference papers and integrally multimedia presentations are welcome. We also welcome virtual synchronous participation by presenters who cannot travel to New York City to attend the event. Selected participants from this forum will be encouraged to submit their work to *sx archipelagos* – an interactive, born-digital, print-possible, peer-reviewed Small Axe Project publication. Abstracts of 300 words and a short bio should be sent to Kaiama L. Glover, Kelly Baker Josephs, and Alex Gil (tcd(a)smallaxe.net) by *15 July 2016*. Successful applicants will be notified by 15 August 2016.

Search engine (without) a difference
by Domenico Fiormonte 06 Apr '16

06 Apr '16

Dear all, Humanist subscribers on this list may have seen already my message in reply to the launch of the new EPI Search engine (http://isce-library.net/epi.aspx). Basically, I was discussing the implicit (and undeclared) linguistic bias of this tool, and I gave few examples. As I did not get any reply from ISCE, and the examples were expunged from the Humanist email, I decided to republish my reflection on our blog: http://infolet.it/2016/04/06/search-engine-without-a-difference/ Hope it will help others to reflect on the profound epistemic and cultural consequences of these instruments. All the best Domenico
