Digital Art History Symposium
by Hannah L Jacobs 12 Jan '16

12 Jan '16

Greetings -- Could you please share the below? Thank you! Hannah -- Hannah L. Jacobs Multimedia Analyst, Wired! Lab, Duke University @dukewired dukewired.org The Wired! Lab at Duke University invites scholars, students, and members of the public to the following symposium: ****Apps, Maps & Models: Digital Pedagogy and Research in Art History, Archaeology & Visual Studies**** February 22, 2016 Nasher Museum of Art, Duke University Durham, NC, USA http://sites.duke.edu/digsymposium/ Free & open to the public. Registration required: http://sites.duke.edu/digsymposium/events/ This one-day symposium will examine how digital tools prompt new approaches to teaching and research in art and architectural history, as well as in archaeology and visual studies. Databases, mapping, modeling, animations, and websites are also transforming the ways in which scholars and museums can communicate information to the public. Above all, digital tools stimulate entirely new types of research questions on the production and dissemination of works of art and material culture, the construction of buildings and cities, and issues of process and change over time. *Sponsored by the Department of Art, Art History & Visual Studies and the Wired! Lab.With generous support from the Duke University Office of the Vice Provost for Research, Office of the Dean of Humanities, Office of the Vice Provost for the Arts, and the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University.*

Red CLACSO
by Domenico Fiormonte 09 Jan '16

09 Jan '16

Querid@s tod@s, en muchas ocasiones estuvimos discutiendo en esta lista, y también privadamente o en conferencias y seminarios, la necesidad de iniciar o potenciar la colaboración Sur-Sur en el campo de las HD. Me imagino que muchos ya conocerán la red CLACSO (http://www.clacso.org.ar), que origina del Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales. Me parece un excelente modelo para empezar e pensar en algo parecido para las HD. La red tiene también un programa de cooperación global Sur-Sur ( http://www.clacso.org.ar/sur-sur/presentacion.php?s=7&idioma=), y me imagino que estarían muy interesados en colaborar en iniciativas comunes relacionadas con la cultura digital y las HD. Quizás sería interesante empezar a explorar la posibilidad de un encuentro ciencias sociales-humanidades en el congreso DH de México de 2018? Además sabemos que el tema de las tecnologias digitales es el terreno más adecuado para reanudar el diálogo interdisciplinar. Esta conferencia en el junio pasado fue un ejemplo muy claro de los solapamientos entres las dos areas: http://sciforum.net/conference/isis-summit-vienna-2015/stream-icts Mis cincos céntimos. Auguri di buon anno a tutt* Domenico

Digital Humanists at Work
by B. Bordalejo 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Dear all, Please excuse cross posting. For an article exploring pluralism and diversity within Digital Humanities, we are gathering data about digital humanists, their environment, and their work. We have designed a very brief survey (it should take less than five minutes to complete) and would like your help with it. If you can spare a few minutes to fill up the answers, this will contribute to our understanding of the field and of the people who work within it. The survey can be found here:https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DHatWork <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DHatWork> Thank you for your support, Barbara Bordalejo Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities KU Leuven

Pedagogía y Humanidades Digitales
by Spence, Paul 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

Estimados colegas Esto puede ser de vuestro interés ... Saludos Paul --------------- Estimadas/os compañeras/os Aprovechando mi estancia en el Departamento de Humanidades Digitales de King's College London, Paul Spence y yo hemos empezado a trabajar sobre la relación entre la pedagogía digital y las humanidades digitales, dos disciplinas emergentes con mucho que contar y hacer. Ya que el tema digital para la pedagogía y las humanidades es denso, hemos decidido echar mano de toda la comunidad e invitarles a editar colaborativamente una bibliografía en un grupo público llamado "Pedagogía y Humanidades Digitales": https://www.zotero.org/groups/pedagoga_y_humanidades_digitales_phd El grupo está creado en Zotero y hay, al 15 de diciembre, 147 referencias a trabajos en torno a la hibridación digital entre pedagogía y humanidades. Como esta tarea no es patrimonio solo de pedagogos y humanistas, esperemos que participen con sus aportes y sea de provecho de todos. Si alguien tiene alguna pregunta no dudéis en escribir a cristobal.suarez(a)uv.es<mailto:cristobal.suarez@uv.es> ¡Nos vemos en el grupo! Cristóbal Suárez y Paul Spence ------- Dear colleagues Cristóbal Suárez Guerrero recently completed a three-month research visit to King's College London to explore the relationship between digital pedagogy and digital humanities with me. Cristóbal has started a Zotero group to explore the theme further - there is still quite a lot to add to the list, and as you'll see the focus is slightly different from previous work in this area (plus we're treating Spanish as the primary language here, since that's the language we're working in, even though many of the resources are in other languages). The group is at https://www.zotero.org/groups/pedagoga_y_humanidades_digitales_phd Any contributions/comments welcome. We hope to announce further initiatives in this area soon.
