Subject: [dm-l] FW: events: The Scholarly Digital Edition and the
Humanities workshop- Rome, 3-5 December
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2014 16:42:24 +0100
From: Mr. Federico Caria <federico.caria(a)live.it>
To: dm-l(a)uleth.ca <dm-l(a)uleth.ca>
Apologies for cross posting.
I am pleased to announce the 3-days workshop organized by DigiLab, La
Sapienza - DiXiT Marie Curie Network:
*The Scholarly Digital Edition and the Humanities. Theoretical
approaches and alternative tools.*
The event will be held at DigiLab La Sapienza, Rome, 3-5 December 2014.
Vetreria Sciarra Via dei Volsci 122, 00185 Roma
Room 110
The aim of this workshop is to present a critical approach to the
digital representation of textual artefacts in the context of Humanities
and Social Sciences. While the imperatives of digitization are affecting
at a global level our cultural organizations and institutions, it seems
necessary to introduce a socio-cultural reflection into the realm of the
scholarly digital edition. The workshop is organized in practical and
theoretical sessions led by Desmond Schmidt (Queensland University of
Technology), Paolo Monella (Università di Palermo) e Domenico Fiormonte
(Università Roma Tre). Participants will be guided through the
realization of a digital product, experimenting with some innovative
digital editions tools and platforms.
The workshop is open to all students registered for postgraduate and
doctoral programs (PhD or equivalent) anywhere in the world working in
the field of Digital Humanities and Social Sciences. Some basic
experience in scholarly editing and textual criticism is recommended.
Attendance is free of charge, but registration is required for all
applicants. Twelve positions are reserved for DiXiT fellows.
The format of the workshop is multicultural, i.e. participants and
speakers will be free to speak in their mother tongue or instead use
English as lingua franca. All teaching material will be translated in
English, except original cultural artifacts. Given the practical nature
of the workshop we can accommodate up to 25 participants.
Workshop coordinator: Domenico Fiormonte
Scientific Board: Domenico Fiormonte, Gianfranco Crupi, Giovanni Ragone
Organization: Federico Caria, Isabella Tartaglia.

Dear all,
I'm very glad to announce that a preliminary version of my book chapter
"Digital Humanities from a global perspective" is online at:
http://www.ispf-lab.cnr.it/article/2014_203_Abstract
Thanks to everybody on the GO::DH list (and beyond) that has helped me to
improve it when I shared it on Googledocs several months ago. I hope I
corrected and revised every relevant oversight and imperfection, but please
feel free to suggest further improvements for the book version!

*SEMINAR « Digital Writing and Editorialisation » - Launch of Cycle 2014-15
on November 20*
The opening session of the seminar "Digital Writing and Editorialisation"
will take place on *Thursday, Nov. 20 **at Noon** in the CITÉ (Roger-Gaudry
Bulding -> door V-13-1) of Université de Montréal *[videoconference link-up
with "salle Triangle" of Pompidou Center in Paris, 6:00 PM (France time)]
*‟Between Blog and Scholarly Periodical: Hybridization of Research
Practices”*
*By multiplying the forms of reading and writing in the secular society,
the digital has pushed forward the emergence of new practices combining
communication, collection, archival, literature, etc. In a context where
forms of writing tend to become more fluid, the research practices of
researchers have also become more diversified, borrowing to forms of
content production that where absent until then in the research
methodologies.*
*This hybridization of practices that has become more visible recently
seems to open the way for new forms of knowledge production among
researchers and their communities, greatly modifying the conventional
process leading to the recognition and validation of knowledge.*
*Guest presentators are*:
-
*Benoît Melançon*
-
*Joëlle Le Marec*
-
*Celya Gruson-Daniel*
*More information*: *http://seminaire.sens-public.org/spip.php?article44

REMINDER! THE HASTAC CONFERENCE DEADLINE TOMORROW, OCT 31!
If you want to create a panel/workshop on any topic but need other participants, feel free to post a blog on HASTAC with the call in the headline, and we’ll make sure to tweet it out. Or post your call on Twitter as #HASTAC2015.
There will be student housing available on the campus for very affordable rates - something like $40 a night, I believe (details on their site below.) The hotels start at $120 a night too, so there will be some affordable housing for everyone.
We’d LOVE to have a panel from GO::DH on the specific questions and projects organized by folks here. Why not put together a panel?
Please email hastac2015(a)gmail.com<mailto:hastac2015@gmail.com> if you have any questions. You can cc me but please contact them directly as well.
