Hiya. I must apologize: the announcement was not intended to be posted
on the Humanist Discussion Group. The text was an e-mail that was sent
to previous and current IATH Fellows, rather than the larger DH
community. The call for proposal notice is for the IATH Resident Fellows
program, which is for humanities faculty at the University of Virginia.
That said, IATH collaborates regularly with other institutions and with
DHers outside of UVA, but that work is funded by outside grant moneys.
The only financial support that we can offer is the Resident Fellows
program.
I'm sorry for the confusion over this! Any questions about our
Fellowship program can be sent to me (sarah at virginia.edu) or to Daniel
Pitti (dpitti at virginia.edu).
Sincerely yours,
Sarah Wells
IATH Scholarly and Technical Communications Officer

O proud left foot, that ventures quick within
Then soon upon a backward journey lithe.
Anon, once more the gesture, then begin:
Command sinistral pedestal to writhe.
Commence thou then the fervid Hokey-Poke,
A mad gyration, hips in wanton swirl.
To spin! A wilde release from Heavens yoke.
Blessed dervish! Surely canst go, girl.
The Hoke, the poke -- banish now thy doubt
Verily, I say, 'tis what it's all about.

Willard and HUMANIST:
Please excuse my posting, inadvertantly, a message intended for
private consumption. (I am sure my friends will forgive me.)

Thanks,

My apologies to IATH for posting of an internal announcement. Years ago
I was put on the internal mailing list for reasons possibly no one can
remember. Since then I've distributed IATH announcements with the
intention of informing everyone here about the interesting activities at
that famous and important centre in the digital humanities. I've asked
to be removed from the internal list but kept on the one intended for
the world, so the problem should not recur.
Perhaps someday soon (I think it may be quite soon) there will be so
much going on that I'll have to stop distributing such notes and
announcements, but until then they will continue to appear. Some will
remember when those of us involved in this field were so few and so
little was available that any news at all was eagerly passed around by
whatever means whatever (and often with little attention to quality of
spelling, grammar, formatting etc). Those who have read the early
numbers of Computers and the Humanities and the Bulletin of the ALLC
will have experienced the sense of discovery, akin to walking
unsuspecting into a surprise birthday party, of a whole world of
activity, going on for years across all the disciplines, suddenly
appearing. Now it's such a simple thing, so commonplace as to be
annoying, as when you go out of contact for a few days, then return to
500 e-mails. And in the disciplinary, theoretical sense what's to think
about? Only, I suppose, how almost invisibly something quite simple has
changed everything, made the rare into the everyday and shifted our
attention -- to what?
Yours,
WM
