Dear list,

My name is Ùyvind Eide. I work a the Unit for Digital Documentation at the University of Oslo and just finished a PhD in Digital Humanities at King's College London. I am appointed from ALLC: The European Association for Digital Humanities to this SIG.

On reason for my interest in this group is a long time involvement in lexicography in Zimbabwe and Mozambique, and also a first nation perspective in my research, where I use historical sources with a strong link to the Sami nation.

I could have written this in Norwegian as well, but we are so anglicised in Scandinavia it is hardly any point...

Kind regards,

Ùyvind Eide

Dear colleagues,
My name is Elie Dannaoui, Assistant Professor at the University of Balamand
- Lebanon. I would like to thank you for facilitating these types of
communications and reflections. Just few words about my research interests
and activities. Few years ago, it was not easy for us to defend being at
the same time involved in both Humanities and "Sciences". I say "defend" or
maybe "justify" to describe a spontaneous attitude when questioned about
having a multidisciplinary profile like cases similar to mine (doctorates
in History and in Computer sciences).  It seems that some implicit
attitudes tend to become more explicit, and what we feel as Digital
Humanists homogeneous has the chance to be seen as it is or at least not
stereotyped and judged a priori as heterogeneous. I fully agree with Claire
when she talks about recovering identities.
Well, regarding my research interests, they are maybe  a little bit far
from the interests of the list members, I concentrate mainly on Arabic. My
activities are oriented towards two objectives:
1) Arabic digital publishing mainly of the Arabic heritage. This field
remains neglected and less studied. Huge efforts still to be paid on this
 level to follow the efforts of standardisation and scholarly editing.
2) Arabic corpus building and analysis. Currently I work on building a
corpus of the Arabic Gospels translated since the 8th century. New
technologies are being used in this project and many levels of analysis are
being integrated.
I am sure that this community will be very helpful in supporting our
efforts in promoting Digital Humanities in Arabic studies and among
Arabists and Arabic scholars.
Best regards,
Elie

Wow, this is so interesting.

One of the things that I'm hoping we'll be able to do here is develop
what I call paradisciplinary collaborations: i.e. where people realise
that what they are doing in one discipline is connected by technique
(though not subject matter) to what somebody is doing in a completely
different discipline somewhere else.

We had an example of that at the University of Lethbridge where it
turned out that one of the things I was doing with the Visionary Cross
project (8th C Anglo-Saxon stone cross) was almost identical in digital
terms to something one of the biologists was doing with class slides of
brain slices.

This is a really useful explanation of research in that I think it
allows people to see how their own work may or may not be similar.

One idea that came up as we were setting up GO::DH was that it might
make sense to have people publish profiles of their work through the
website (we started doing something similar at the Alberta Digital
Humanities site: http://adbah.org). I could see something like this
being really appropriate for a series like that should the web team
itself find it a good idea.

Dear Elie, welcome aboard!

Your email reminded me that we should have a look at (and perhaps
discuss) one of the few DH documents that were translated in more than
10 languages, including Arabic. I'm talking about the Paris DH
Manifesto:

http://tcp.hypotheses.org/489

I guess it's my turn to introduce myself...

Credo che sia arrivato il mio turno per presentarmi!

My name is Domenico Fiormonte (very easy to translate in several
languages: Blumenberg, Fleurmont, Floramonte, etc.), aka the
troublemaker of Digital Humanities ;-)

I'm currently Lecturer in Sociology of Communication and Cultures at
the Faculty of Political Sciences, University of Roma Tre.
I'm involved in Humanities Computing / Informatica Umanistica /
Digital Humanities since 1992, when I started to write my master
thesis on the influence of computer on literary writing. I was very
lucky as in those years at La Sapienza University of Rome there was a
terrific team of pioneers working on computational methods applied to
literary and historical texts (among them I'd like to remember the
late Giuseppe Gigliozzi, Tito Orlandi and Raul Mordenti). I left Rome
in 1994 and went all the way up to Michigan Techological University
(Upper Peninsula), where I enrolled in one of the few graduate
programs in the globe that offered courses like "computer and
composition, "rhetoric of the web", and the like.
It was a tremendous (and freezing) experience, but eventually I
returned to Old Europe, namely Edinburgh University, where I got my
Phd and started the CLiP seminar series (see
http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/clip2006/content/practicalities/past_conferences.html)
and the Digital Variants project (www.digitalvariants.org).

I've published fairly extensively in the DH field since 1994, and have
been largely unheard and unread, until Dan O'Donnell revealed on
Humanist that he took me seriously. A real shock.

Domenico
p.s. I'm involved in far too many projects, but my favourite is this:
www.newhumanities.org
