#guerilladh
by Alex Gil 29 Jul '15

29 Jul '15

Hi all, I just published a few thoughts on digital humanities practice "in the shadows" that may interest our group. These thoughts start in 2013, when GO::DH was young. I've updated them a bit, since I never got a chance to make them public then. http://elotroalex.webfactional.com/guerrilladh/ This piece comes as a companion piece to the No Connect project, where we basically tweaked the static site generator Jekyll so that you could generate websites (even data-driven ones) and house them seamlessly in a USB, as opposed to a server on the internet. For me this is the prelude to a digital edition of Césaire, which I cannot publish on the internet because of copyright. Hope you enjoy the post. Looking forward to your comments. All best, Alex

Sent from Samsung MobileØyvind Eide <lister(a)oeide.no> wrote:Dear Domenico, Alex, and all, I think this is exactly the point. Many (all?) of us have experienced situations where multi-linguality led to ghettoisation — not the least at conferences. If working models of real time translation can be shown — and I believe we now have the tools and ideas making that quite likely — then those experiences can be countered by different ones. It will be extremely interesting to see what the call for papers for the first Nordic conference next year will lead to. Five countries, five currencies (of which one suspended from international trade), a population of some 25 million all together. A lot of diversity — but everybody (at least in academia) speaks and understands English. Will there be non-English papers? If so, can we make it worthwhile for international participants to attend them?

Self fulfilling prophecy material at the behest of business interests. Very related to this conversation, I've been involved in heavy duty conversations these past few weeks on the oddly named MLMC and to a lesser extent the PC about language diversity, and I'm happy to report that we're making slow progress. Little by little we convince others that, and I quote the wonderful Glenn Worthey here, "we don't need to fight for the lingua franca." The lingua franca fights for itself. I know so many well meaning folks from outside and inside Europe and the US who defend the lingua franca model because they've had bad experiences with multi-lingual conferences or journals, or because they believe in a global community and think this is the only way to achieve one. We have to work with these folks to get them to see that we are talking about learning how to do translation right, and that true globality in the humanities is by definition, a new Babel--uncomfortable, but not crippling... Little by little. Your work with citations here is enormously helpful in this regard. Looking forward to your full article! a.

Re: [globaloutlookDH-l] CFP: Conference on translingual and transcultural digital humanities October 19-20, Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu, Estonia
by Mari Sarv 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Dear all, everyone welcome to our conference! With best greetings Mari Sarv Conference on translingual and transcultural digital humanities October 19-20, Estonian Literary Museum, Tartu, Estonia Working with various (archival) material, researchers are often confronted with the problem that although both quantitative and qualitative methods in the humanities are quickly becoming more versatile, efficient and numerous, tools for translingual and transcultural analysis remain underdeveloped. The majority of tools for data mining and analysis are available in the biggest languages only, which makes it difficult to study the smaller or extinct ones or compare them to for example English. In fact, sometimes researchers don’t even have access to source texts of geographically close cultures because of language barrier (e.g. Estonian and Latvian are mutually incomprehensible). In the case of non-textual material, the limitations are not linguistic, in this case the access to metadata and -information, and cultural interpretations are important, and the challenges big data has to offer to non-textual transcultural research. Thus, it may not possible to get an adequate overview of the material or gain accurate insight as the results are blurred by technical difficulties. At the same time, the translingual and -cultural analysis has long tradition in different disciplines – history, religious studies, linguistics, etc – and introducing the possibilities and advances of digital tools, systems, standards, and the results of research to the academic community is greatly needed. In its ideas and ideologies, the conference is inspired by the work of the SIG of the Alliance of the Digital Humanities Organizations (ADHO) <http://www.globaloutlookdh.org/> Global Outlook::Digital Humanities (GO::DH) which aims to promote the collaboration among digital humanities researchers world-wide and to support the inclusion of the researchers from all geographic regions, cultures, languages and types of economies, and by <http://humanidadesdigitales.net/blog/2013/07/19/is-there-anybody-out-there- building-a-global-digital-humanities-community/> the plenary speech by Isabel Galina at the 2013 Digital Humanities ADHO conference in Nebraska; and of course by the necessity for the more thorough computational competence in our everyday work. The conference is third in the series of yearly digital humanities conferences in Estonia and includes a special panel on ongoing projects and developments in Estonian digital humanities. We welcome contributions from the following areas: * data-mining (incl visual, multimedia and other data) * working with data in various languages, incl small or extinct languages * translingual analysis * computational ontologies * cross-linguistic and -cultural research in the field of digital humanities * applications targeted at (usable with) various languages * the role of English as lingua franca in digital humanities, assets and drawbacks * compiling multilingual data collections (e.g. by crowdsourcing) * ideas, outlooks, projects and developments in Estonian digital humanities Please submit a proposal that contains your full name, institutional and disciplinary affiliation with a very brief academic CV, the title of your paper and an abstract of 200-250 words. Authors will be informed about the status of their submission by August 31, 2015. Participation fee of the conference is €50. The language of the conference is English. Deadlines: Abstract submission: August 15, 2015 Notification of acceptance: August 31, 2015 Conference starts: October 19, 2015 Send your proposals to: <mailto:digitaalhumanitaaria@gmail.com> digitaalhumanitaaria(a)gmail.com Mari Sarv & Liisi Laineste http://www.folklore.ee/dh/en/events/dh_conference_estonia_2015/ Estonian Literary Museum Vanemuise 42 Tartu 51003

Looking for digital humanities projects to write wikipedia articles about
by Stuart A. Yeates 30 Jun '15

30 Jun '15

I'm a long-time wikipedian looking for digital humanities projects to write wikipedia articles about. Suitable projects are: * mature projects * not primarily related to a single funding source * the subject of multiple open-access, digital accessible, secondary sources with (at least) English-language abstracts * ideally non-English, multi-lingual or touching on indigenous languages. If you know of a project that sounds like this, please drop me an email with some links to the secondary sources clearly identified. Alternatively you can have a crack for yourself on wikipedia and drop me an email. For examples of the kinds of things that are possible see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_Encoding_Initiative / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Corpora I also do academic biographies based on obituaries. cheers stuart -- ...let us be heard from red core to black sky

DH organizations around the world
by Alex Gil 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

** apologies for cross posting ** Dear all, Here is a quick neatline sketch <http://testing.elotroalex.com/dhorgs/>of the digital humanities organizations I can see around the world today. The map is quick and dirty, and misrepresents much. It would be nice to get a representation of memberships from each org by city or state, that would help localize trans-nationality more accurately. In lieu of that I'm hoping this can spark a conversation about representation, language and location. If you have private suggestions, feel free to send me a line. I welcome all public suggestions. As I say in the about page: LIES THIS MAP TELLS: This map does not represent the trans-national membership of these > organizations. A heat map from member tallies would be more accurate. > CenterNet is absent. Humanistica and ACH have a much wider reach than the > map gives them credit for. My rationale for doing it was to show the > territoriality of the largest number of members in each of these orgs, OR > the regions they de facto represent. I find my lies point in the direction > of a tension between language vs. region, representation vs. proportional > membership. The lies are meant to spark a conversation about how we can > move forward organizationally at the global level, through and around ADHO. > I would favor moves in the direction of clearly defined meso-level > regional/national organizations—open to global membership, of course, but > clearly based somewhere—for the support of semi-local communities. The key > here is support and representation for semi-local communities. To be clear, > I am not against co-existence and collaboration with language-based > trans-regional organizations that stretch the planet, and do believe we can > achieve local support and representation if we work together carefully at > the intersections of language/region/representation, as long as we foster > local growth and agency. On that note, I should point out that many > organizations represented here are already both language-region, like the > RedHD or the DHD. > In addition to these regional/language chapters, I imagine a union that > can organize a global conference and foster collaboration. What ADHO is > trying to do now.

Fwd: [SEDIT-L] Office of the Historian release volume on Mexico; Central America; and the Caribbean, 1973-1976
by Daniel O'Donnell 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: FRUS Press Releases <FRUSPressReleases(a)state.gov> Date: Wed, Jun 3, 2015, 11:53 Subject: [SEDIT-L] Office of the Historian release volume on Mexico; Central America; and the Caribbean, 1973-1976 To: <SEDIT-L(a)listserv.umd.edu> MEDIA NOTE Office of the Historian, Bureau of Public Affairs Release of *Foreign Relations of the United States*, 1969–1976, Volume E–11, Part 1, Documents on Mexico; Central America; and the Caribbean, 1973–1976 This volume is part of a *Foreign Relations* subseries that documents the most important issues in the foreign policy of Presidents Richard M. Nixon and Gerald R. Ford. The volume on American Republics has been divided into two parts: Part One, this volume, documents the formulation of a new U.S. policy towards the region as a whole and bilateral relations with fourteen countries and one British possession—The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, and Nicaragua—during the second Nixon and Ford administrations; Part Two, forthcoming, documents bilateral relations with countries in South America. U.S. policy towards Latin America during this period centered on establishing what Henry A. Kissinger called a “New Dialogue” with the region. Launched in October 1973, just days after Kissinger took office as Secretary of State, the “New Dialogue” was envisioned as a constructive way for the United States to meet the challenge posed by the perceived emergence of a Latin American regional bloc. The initiative called for regular meetings of foreign ministers to address issues of mutual concern and aimed to restore a sense that a special relationship existed between the United States and its neighbors to the south. By 1976, however, U.S. officials had largely abandoned the idea of pursuing a unified regional policy, as called for by the “New Dialogue.” Instead, recognizing that Latin America was not a monolithic bloc, the Ford administration focused more on bilateral relations with the nations of the hemisphere. As this volume documents, during the Nixon and Ford administrations immigration and narcotics control emerged as key issues in bilateral relations, particularly with Mexico. Other themes that occur are water salinity, economic concerns, and investment disputes. Finally, military regimes controlled many Central American governments during the 1970s, and some early hints of the unrest that generated the civil wars of the 1980s appear in the documents in this volume. This volume was compiled and edited by Halbert Jones, which is available exclusively on the Office of the Historian website at http://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1969-76ve11p1. For further information, contact Adam Howard, General Editor of the Foreign Relations series, at (202) 955–0202 or by e-mail to history(a)state.gov. This email is UNCLASSIFIED.
