Ebola research: crowdsourcing access and license type
by Ernesto Priego 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Dear all, I hope you don't mind my sharing this information to the list. Last Wednesday I shared a dataset of 497 bibliographic entries of scientific articles mentioning the keyword ‘Ebola’. Each entry links to the article/paper/output itself. http://epriego.wordpress.com/2014/08/06/ebola-crowdsourcing-type-of-access-… I shared the dataset to crowdsource the type of access (open/paywalled) of each paper and the type of license of each paper (All Rights Reserved/Some Rights Reserved etc.). By Friday last week the World Health Organisation had declared Ebola an international health emergency. Until now about 40% of the papers have the additional data required. The intention is to complete the dataset, offering not only the main value of a list of scientific articles on Ebola, but information about how many of those are available without restrictions. Crowdsourcing is a task dear to the digital humanities, and so is online publishing. If any of you reading this could help working with us on the dataset it will be appreciated. Even doing just one is a lot of help. Follow the link above to reach the online spreadsheet.

Wikimania 2015, Mexico City
by Ernesto Priego 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Hello everyone, This last weekend I attended Wikimania 2014 in London, UK. Wikimania is the annual conference of the Wikimedia Foundation. 2000 people (and 200 volunteers) attended. More than 20k tweets tagged with #wikimania2014 were posted over the weekend. It was announced that Mexico City will be the host city for Wikimania 2015; it will be held at the same venue as the last DH meeting organised by RedHD. This Wikimania had a very strong academic presence, with Jimmy Wales stressing many times the importance of open access to academic and scientific research. The "open scholarship" stream was very popular and many key players in open access scholarship/open access publishing were present as both audience and presenters. At the Comics Grid blog we published a post by Cameron Neylon on what academia can learn from Wikimania; I hope you can find some time to read it: http://blog.comicsgrid.com/2014/08/wikimania-we-need-to-choose-the-main-str… I know Ernesto Priani is in touch with Iván from Wikimedia México; it seems to me it would be very important to build on what was achieved in London this year in terms of bridging the Wikipedia momevent with the open scholarship movement and ensure that Mexican academics interested in the wider, open dissemination of research on the Web have a space within Wikimania 2015. It would be great if RedHD could have a significant presence (through logos, maybe a stand as well?) at the event in Mexico too. Thoughts?

Cultural Literacy in Europe - CFP deadline 31 Aug
by Arianna Ciula 31 Jul '14

31 Jul '14

Dear all, This is a remainder that the deadline for the call for papers for the first conference of Cultural Literacy in Europe (http://cleurope.eu) is open until the 31st of August. See strand on digital textuality with Digital Humanities related topics. Please consider submitting a proposal for paper or project presentations and disseminate the announcement widely. A number of bursaries is also available (see details below). Best, Arianna Dr Arianna Ciula Research Facilitator Department of Humanities University of Roehampton | London | SW15 5PH arianna.ciula(a)roehampton.ac.uk | www.roehampton.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0) 20 8392 5763 Follow us on Twitter @UORHumanities <http://www.twitter.com/UORHumanities> @ariciula <http://www.twitter.com/ariciula> ========================================= Cultural Literacy in Europe First International Conference – London, 16-18 April 2015 Deadline for submission of proposals: 31 August 2014 Registration will open on 1 July 2014 This international conference will bring together academics interested in the development of Literary and Cultural Studies (LCS) in Europe and beyond, as well as policymakers at European and national level. The language of the Conference will be English. First set up in 2007 by the European Science Foundation Standing Committee for the Humanities,Cultural Literacy in Europe ran as an ESF-COST synergy 2009-2012 including international interdisciplinary workshops in four areas of LCS research – Cultural memory, Migration & Translation, Electronic textuality and Biopolitics, biosociality and the body. The initial two outcomes were an ESF-COST Science Policy Briefing ( http://www.esf.org/hosting-experts/scientific-review-groups/humanities-hum/… - no 48), published in January 2013, and a volume,From Literature to Cultural Literacy(http://us.macmillan.com/fromliteraturetoculturalliteracy/NaomiSega…, coedited by Naomi Segal and Daniela Koleva, published by Palgrave Macmillan in July 2014. No longer restricted to studying manuscripts, printed books or other language based genres in a philological mode, LCS researchers are now concerned rather with four essential conceptual elements, using them to describe, analyse and evaluate what may broadly be called the symbolic dimension of humanity’s relationship with material reality: textuality, rhetoricity, fictionality, and historicity. These concepts both represent crucial structures and processes at work in cultural objects and at the same time offer key techniques for understanding them. Working often together or in comparative engagement, they indicate ways in which all knowledge, all social activity, can be read. ________________________________ The Steering Committee of the 2015 Conference invites proposals for individual papers and project presentations. *** Submission Topics *** Proposals should refer to one or more of the following areas: Current developments and issues in LCS research in any of the four fields: - Cultural memory; - Migration & Translation; - Digital textuality; - Biopolitics, biosociality and the body. - How LCS already relates to the social and cultural challenges of 21st-century Europe; - How LCS can continue to do so in the future. See also additional ideas for topics: http://cleurope.eu/conference/call-for-papers/call-for-paper-additional-top… *** Submission Types *** Individual papers — These are academic papers. They will be grouped into parallel sessions: each paper will be 15 minutes long followed by questions. Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including bibliography). Project presentations — These are presentations of projects which are successful examples of LCS research with impact on social and cultural challenges. They will be presented in a plenary panel: each presentation will be 10 minutes followed by discussion. Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including bibliography). *** Submission Procedure *** Proposals must be submitted by 31 August 2014 on-line ( https://www.conftool.net/cleurope-2015/). Your abstract must not exceed 750 words (1000 including bibliography). *** Bursaries *** A number of Early-Career Bursaries, worth £245 [€300] each, to offset conference expenses, are available, closing date also on 31 August 2014. To be eligible, applicants must have obtained PhD no more than 8 years ago and with successful viva completed by the time of the conference. You do not need to be giving a paper/project presentation at the conference to be considered for a bursary. See details on how to apply: http://cleurope.eu/conference/bursaries/ ________________________________ *Cultural Literacy in Europe* is endorsed by several partners: ESF, which has funded the project since its inception, the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities, hosting the first conference, as well as the Academia Europaea, ALLEA, COST, EADH, ECHIC, ICLA, Sofia University, University of Roehampton and Warwick University’s Connecting Cultures Research Priority Programme.

DH Whisperer's
by Alex Gil 28 Jul '14

28 Jul '14

Hi all, Elika Ortega wrote a great post on our "DH Whisperer" initiative in DH2014, Lausanne. If you haven't seen it already here it is: http://lectoresdeficcion.blogs.cultureplex.ca/2014/07/21/dhwhisperer/ I think her thoughts are a very good example on thinking about multi-lingualism while engaging in translation practices. Reading her post, I was reminded how much there is still to learn and do! (A full report on our activities at DH2014 is coming soon). Cheers, A.

Diversity and disability
by Amy Earhart 25 Jul '14

25 Jul '14

One comment for the very successful Go_DH whisperer program to consider. I heard a great number of folks who have hearing disabilities ask if there was a possibility of whispering or signing to help with such issues. Would the whisperer program consider expanding to include these issues as well?

Dear all, though I'm not often intervening on this list, I just wanted to tell you that the DH Whisperer initiative is a really interesting experience for other kinds of conferences (or un-conferences).
