Fwd: [DHSI] CFP: Special Issue on Multilingual Publishing & Scholarship, Journal of Electronic Publishing

Which language do you publish in? There are ~7,000 known, living languages in use around the world but, increasingly, academic research is communicated primarily in English. > > In a 2015 article in The Atlantic <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015…>, science communicator Adam Huttner-Koros writes: “English is now so prevalent [in research] that in some non-English speaking countries, like Germany, France, and Spain, English-language academic papers outnumber <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.researchtrends.com/issue-31-november-…> publications in the country’s own language several times over. In the Netherlands, one of the more extreme examples, this ratio is an astonishing 40 to 1.” What, then, are the implications of having a lingua franca for research? Shouldn’t a lingua franca make it easier to learn from each other, to build on each other’s ideas if everyone is reading and writing in the same language? As Huttner-Kronos and Sean Perera point out <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/jcom.sissa.it/article/pubid/JCOM_1506_20…>, “communicating science in English promotes [...] norms of describing and defining the natural world that are intrinsic to the English language, and ideologies that are conversant to its native speakers” (2016). Language is, in so many ways, world-shaping; language can define one’s experience through naming, metaphor, reflection, representation. Communicating all research in one single language means that language shapes the research, too. Language shapes what is possible to express, contextualize, or reveal. If research is primarily communicated in English, that research is bound by English-language contexts and worldviews. Furthermore, among the contexts influenced by language are publishing models and structures. > > Such a hegemonic system promotes epistemic injustice through language dominance. Moreover, privileging the English language in scholarly communication marginalizes and disadvantages researchers who are not first language English speakers, or not English language speakers at all, both reinscribing a colonial framework for knowledge production and limiting diverse academic research development. Even more, even a multilingual setting where, for instance, English, French, and Spanish coexist still reifies imperial orderings of the world. > > This call for papers for a special issue of the Journal of Electronic Publishing (JEP) asks: How do we integrate and practice the value of multilingualism into a more equitable and epistemically just scholarly communication and publishing system? > > The co-editors of this special issue–Janneke Adema, Alyssa Arbuckle, and Élika Ortega–invite abstracts for papers of ~6,000-8,000 words that explore multilingual publishing and scholarship, including issues of: > translation (text and / or multimedia) > English-language dominance > multilingual theory and praxis > epistemic justice and knowledge equity > digital monolingualism > infrastructure, tools, and best practices > access and minimal computing > language-specific writing styles and epistemologies > historical precedents and trajectories > experimental knowledge production > linguistic, national, and infrastructural contexts > Non-imperial and indigenous language epistemologies > > For this special issue, we are able to accept papers written in English, Spanish, and French. When submitting an abstract, please indicate if you are interested in pursuing a translation option and we can discuss possibilities further. Please also include a note that your abstract is for consideration in the Multilingual Publishing & Scholarship special issue.

In a region where the field of Digital Humanities is still relatively underdeveloped, this conference aims to address this gap and foster growth and collaboration in the field. The conference offers an opportunity for researchers interested in showcasing their work in the broad field of Digital Humanities to come together. By doing so, the conference provides a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in Digital Humanities, particularly within the Southern Africa region. As such, we welcome submissions related to Digital Humanities research conducted by individuals from Southern Africa or research focused on the geographical area of Southern Africa. Furthermore, the conference serves as a platform for information sharing and networking among researchers passionate about Digital Humanities. By bringing together experts working on Digital Humanities in Southern Africa or with a focus on Southern Africa, we aim to promote collaboration and facilitate further research in this dynamic field. In addition to the main conference, affiliated workshops and tutorials will be organized, providing researchers with valuable insights into novel technologies and tools. These supplementary events are designed for researchers interested in specific aspects of Digital Humanities or seeking practical information to enter or advance their knowledge in the field. The DHASA conference welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from researchers in various domains of Digital Humanities, including, but not limited to, language, literature, visual art, performance and theatre studies, media studies, music, history, sociology, psychology, language technologies, library studies, philosophy, methodologies, software and computation, and more. Our goal is to cultivate an inclusive scientific community of practice within Digital Humanities. Suggested topics include the following: * Digital archives and the preservation of marginalized voices; * Intersectionality and the digital humanities: exploring the intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and class in digital research and activism; * Activism and social change through digital media: how digital humanities tools and methodologies can be used to promote inclusion; * Engaging marginalized communities in the creation and use of digital tools and resources; * Exploring the role of digital humanities in decolonizing knowledge and promoting indigenous perspectives; * The ethics of data collection and analysis in digital humanities research related; * The role of digital humanities in promoting inclusive and equitable pedagogy; * Digital humanities and inclusion in the context of global perspectives and international collaborations; * Critical approaches to digital humanities and inclusion: examining the limitations and possibilities of digital tools and methodologies in promoting inclusion; and * Collaborative digital humanities projects with non-profit organizations, community groups, and cultural institutions; * Any other digital humanities-related topic that serves the Southern African community.

New CfP - Contributions solicited for a Special Collection on “Data and Workflows for Multilingual DH” in the Journal of Open Humanities Data (JOHD) led by guest editor Lorella Viola. Register your interest by 14 July 2023 by completing this form. Call for Papers Data and Workflows for Multilingual Digital Humanities Technology has revolutionised the way humanities researchers engage with and understand cultural artefacts, literature, texts, and historical documents (Antonijević 2020). While digital humanities (DH) scholars have gained access to vast amounts of data, this abundance and complexity present unique challenges such as the critical issue of effective data management and the establishment of efficient workflows (Peukert 2017). Multilingualism, for instance, poses a significant hurdle to DH scholars seeking to analyse and interpret texts in different languages. Despite the growing emergence of multilingual tools, computational resources available for languages other than English continue to remain scarce. Such Anglophone-centricity acts as a barrier to researchers, teachers and curators who work on, or teach with, materials in languages other than English (Viola and Spence 2023). This includes academia, libraries, museums and heritage and cultural institutions more widely. Indeed, the comparative lack of computational resources in languages other than English often dictates which tasks can be performed, with which tools and through which platforms (Viola 2023). Data acquisition, curation, and integration strategies become therefore even more critical to ensure the seamless incorporation of multilingual resources into research projects. This involves sourcing and digitising materials, ensuring data quality and consistency, and developing appropriate metadata standards and ontologies. As DH researchers strive to expand their horizons by studying texts, artefacts, and cultural phenomena across various languages, it becomes crucial to create comprehensive and reliable digital documentations that serve as valuable resources for future studies. Furthermore, the management of multilingual data requires sophisticated tools and techniques for cross-lingual information retrieval and extraction. For example, machine translation and natural language processing play pivotal roles in enabling researchers to navigate and analyse texts in different languages; at the same time, workflows in multilingual digital scholarship and in DH more widely encompass the processes, methodologies, and tools employed to conduct research and analyse data. An efficient workflow ensures that research tasks are executed seamlessly, fostering reproducibility, collaboration, and scalability. Especially in the case of DH projects that often involve interdisciplinary teams, well-defined workflows facilitate effective communication and coordination among team members whereas clear documentation of workflow steps allows for the replication of experiments and analyses, fostering transparency and enabling the validation of research findings. This special collection in the Journal of Open Humanities Data aims to bring together cutting-edge research and advancements in the field of multilingual DH, focusing specifically on data management and workflow methodologies to explore innovative data and workflow strategies that address the challenges posed by multilingual datasets. We invite researchers, practitioners, and scholars to submit short data papers or full length research papers (see description below) addressing the intersection of data and workflows in multilingual DH.

DH2023 in Graz: Pre-conference Workshop zu "Who are the Users in Multilingual DH Research? A Community Exploration" (10.7.2023, 13:30 Uhr)
by Wagner, Cosima 21 Jun '23

21 Jun '23

Liebe Mailinglisten-Mitglieder, hiermit möchte ich alle diejenigen unter Ihnen / Euch, die an der DH2023 Konferenz in Graz teilnehmen, auf einen Pre-conference Workshop am 10.7.2023 um 13:30 Uhr zum Thema "Who are the Users in Multilingual DH Research? A Community Exploration" hinweisen, den ich gemeinsam mit Prof. Dr. Aliz Horvath (Eötvös Loránd University, Ungarn) und Prof. Dr. David Wrisley (NYU Abu Dhabi, Vereinigte Arabische Emirate) organisiere. Wir freuen uns über weitere … [View More]Interessierte, es sind noch Plätze frei (Registrierung via Conftool vonnöten)! Nähere Informationen siehe https://sites.google.com/nyu.edu/adhoworkshop2023/home *********************** Who are the users in multilingual digital humanities? How do DH practitioners use the different languages they know? How do infrastructures impact how we do multilingual DH? What should their role be? Our half-day pre-conference workshop at DH2023 focuses on building user personas of multilingual DH practitioners. Our workshop has four main goals: · Practicing the methodology of UX persona creation for the DH community; · Co-writing a set of best practices for mapping multilinguality in local communities; · Providing a venue for globally separated communities to know each other better and to learn from each other; · community co-writing an article or white paper on the multilingual users in DH. Abstract: The purpose of our workshop is to continue conversations about building community around questions of multilingual DH research in non-Latin alphabets and right-to-left script languages. Participants in the workshop will have an opportunity to think through the languages, skill sets, aspirations and challenges of digital researcher personas working in these languages and scripts through a guided discussion and community co-writing experience. We are convinced that there is a specific role to be played by the digital humanists in describing and modeling the design of workflows which assume multilinguality (and multiscriptual and multidirectional practices). This work cannot only be left to the tech industry and commercial interests alone. On the other hand, the larger community of digital humanists is not fully aware of the multilingual users and communities, nor the full complexity of the issues they face. These users are all around us, and in this workshop we want to create a space for dialogue and debate, as well as to introduce and develop further the creation of multilingual DH UX personas. In the background of the workshop sit problems when multilingual practices conflict with the constraining functions of infrastructure, the discussion of which has been gaining ground in the critical literature. We find this to be particularly relevant for researchers who work with a combination of languages, some of which have been relatively well served by digital infrastructure, whereas others such as right-to-left (RTL) scripts or non-Latin alphabets (NLA) have been neglected (Fiormonte 2021, Ghorbaninejad et al 2023, Golumbia 2013, Grallert 2022, Horvath 2021 and 2022, Horvath et al (in submission), Kirmizialtin and Wrisley 2022, Spence and Brandao 2021 and Wrisley 2019). We hope to explore through discussion how these debates can inform future plans for the multilingual DH community. The co-organizers of this workshop have been researching the utility of multilingual DH user personas and experimenting with modes of community input and open dissemination of this work. Through exercises which combine UX persona and living lab methodologies (Piller and West, 2014), the workshop at DH2023 aims to reflect on how multilingual user personas can be recreated in local environments and globally. Specifically, a portion of the workshop will be spent discussing a pre-circulated paper on multilingual DH UX personas, and then participants will evaluate and refine those personas collaboratively. We are convinced that even though our collective experience of so many languages and different roles within knowledge producing environments provide us with many vantage points from which to see the question of multilingual DH, there are still many voices to be heard. Our workshop is an opportunity to continue the networking and experience sharing of DH practitioners working beyond English and European languages, while also strategizing steps forward in the coming years. Although it will take place in English, the workshop aims to target a broad, international, multilingual audience, particularly people using or interested in non-Latin scripts in a DH context. Due to the linguistic and professional diversity and geographical embeddedness of those involved in multilingual DH, the co-organizers are also interested in hearing global voices from parts of the academy, the tech and the knowledge sectors they have not yet reached. More specifically, this workshop invites a broad participation from librarians, researchers, academic technology specialists, research engineers, publishers, independent scholars, and anyone interested in questions of research infrastructures and how they handle humanities data in non-Latin scripts. The workshop builds on a significant amount of momentum in the community of multilingual DH, including, but not limited to, a workshop from ADHO 2019. The 2023 iteration of the topic aims to bolster this otherwise highly scattered community and would especially strive to broaden the network of non-Latin script DH experts by inviting DH practitioners from the non-Anglophone sphere to join the conversation, bringing their experience in using and expertise in developing non-Latin script DH tools and resources. Since the effectiveness of multilingual digital research infrastructure development and implementation depends highly on the interplay and cooperation of developers, institutions, and scholars, we also invite any other organizations to send a delegate to participate in the discussion and to share their interests, issues, and challenges related to multilingual DH. ********************* Mit herzlichen Grüßen Cosima Wagner -- Dr. Cosima Wagner Forschungs- und Publikationsservices Universitätsbibliothek der Freien Universität Berlin Tel.: 030-838-60307 Email: cosima.wagner(a)fu-berlin.de [View Less]
